Disturbing Victoria's Secret promo proves the fashion show is dead forever



The Victoria's Secret Fashion Show returned in 2024 following a hiatus, but the brand has never been the same.

The company pushed pause on the show in 2019 after chief marketing officer Ed Razek resigned over remarks that were considered to be insensitive to transgender and obese models.

'Plus-size models are a byproduct of the body positivity movement.'

Razek essentially saying the show is not for men or plus-size models was enough for the brand to slam the brakes on both their show and their appeal to women. Upon the fashion show's revival in 2024, Victoria's Secret made its allegiance clear — and it was not with their usual fan base.

Not only did the revamped show feature models over 50 years old, but it also showcased five plus-size models and two men pretending to be women.

In a new promo, the brand is doubling down and proving its 2024 return was not just the last gasp of a woke era, but it was only the beginning of its redrawn standard. Whereas the new genre of Victoria's Secret Angels may have been simple additions to the roster in 2024, in 2025, they are leading the charge ahead of the October show.

In the new promo — aptly titled "The Secret Is Out" — the fashion show features transgender model Alex Consani and plus-size model Yumi Nu front and center, while dragging out some of its legacy models who are widely accused as having facial surgeries.

It is not just the use of Consani that is troubling, but the model's backstory makes his inclusion even more disturbing.

At just age 14, Consani gave an interview as "the world's first" and "youngest transgender model," according to Cosmopolitan.

"I was about three or four years old when I realized I was attracted to girls' clothes. So I slowly started wearing girlish clothes and became who I am today," the boy said.

Cosmopolitan eerily wrote that Consani "isn't just interested in looking pretty" but wants to achieve "greater tolerance for transsexuality."

Last year, Victoria's Secret featured Valentina Sampaio, a male model posing as a woman. The 28-year-old Brazilian also has a jaw-dropping background. According to Business Insider, he was told by a psychologist that he was transgender at just 8 years old before he started referring to himself as a girl at 12.

In 2020, Sampaio became the first female-dressing man to be in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition, which is also where Nu, the plus-size model in the Victoria's Secret promo, made waves.

Nu was the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition cover model in 2022 and was touted by People as the first "Asian curve model" to do so.

These types of titles are often associated with the new era of victim-centric models, including Anok Yai, who was also featured in the Victoria's Secret ad. Yai, 27, was described by Hola! as the the first "black model of South Sudanese descent to open major shows."

Also featured in the promo were veteran models Adriana Lima, 44, Lily Aldridge, 39, and Joan Smalls, 37.

Blaze News reporter Rebeka Zeljko said that while the brand is "clearly trying to relive the glory days," it has still made room for "ugly ideologies" to be represented.

"Trans models like Consani have become immensely successful in the modeling industry, where androgyny is viewed as versatile and desirable," Zeljko explained. "Plus-size models are a byproduct of the body positivity movement that ignored both health standards and objective beauty. In both cases, Consani and Nu clash with Victoria's Secret's original and beloved brand of hyperfemininity."

Victoria’s Secret’s ‘Diversity’ Rebrand Is Unrecognizable And Out Of Touch

Instead of offering different versions of beauty on the iconic runway we know and love, we are expected to sit through an odd conglomerate of angsty artists, ill-fitting clothes, and activism.

Argentine model found dead in Mexico. Authorities rule tragic death a suicide, but woman's family says she was murdered, and they know who killed her.



An Argentine model was found dead in her apartment in Mexico. Authorities ruled the tragic death a suicide. However, the woman's family believes she was murdered, and they say they know who killed her.

Agostina Jalabert, 31, was found dead around 7 a.m. on Feb. 18 in her apartment in the tourist hotspot of Playa del Carmen, Mexico. Agostina's 21-year-old sister, Candela Jalabert, found the model dead in the bathroom.

Before entering the apartment, security reportedly informed Candela that police recently visited her sister's home after neighbors informed authorities that they heard screaming on two occasions.

Candela attempted to enter the apartment by using a security code, but it didn't work that day. The sister began frantically banging on the front door. Agostina's boyfriend, Juan Reverter, answered the door and said that Jalabert was sleeping.

MEAWW reported that Jalabert's father, Edgardo Jalabert, told Argentine news network TN, "Candela was about to leave the apartment but Agostina’s dog caught her attention and guided her to the bathroom where she found her sister sitting in the bathtub with a towel wrapped around her hands. This character said he was sleeping when Candela arrived and asked for his sister."

"The dog, Bruna, led her to the bathroom, and there they found Agostina hanging from the towel rack, sitting or semi-sitting, (a few feet) from the floor," the father said, adding that she had "injuries of all kinds."

Agostina's uncle, Germán Jalabert, told the news website Pagina 12 that his niece wasn't suicidal, and it seemed improbable that she could kill herself in the position that she was found.

"The towel rack was about (four feet) from the floor. It's hard to think that a person can hang from a height lower than their height," Germán explained.

He said that Candela attempted to revive her unresponsive sister, but it was too late because she was already dead.

The uncle criticized Mexican authorities for their investigation into the sudden death of Agostina Jalabert.

"None of the basic protocols were applied to investigate and find out the real causes of his death," Germán said. "The boyfriend was not arrested, his phone was not seized, nor were toxicological tests carried out, nor was it verified if he had any injuries."

The family suspects that the boyfriend murdered Agostina.

Edgardo said, "The autopsy, according to the lawyer, reveals that this is a femicide due to the injuries my daughter has."

Betina Teuly, the family's lawyer, proclaimed that "there is sufficient evidence" to prove that Jalabert was murdered by Reverter.

However, Mexican authorities have not prosecuted Reverter.

Teuly has urged Argentina's Foreign Ministry to convince Mexican authorities to reclassify the case from a suicide to a femicide. The Mexican prosecutor's office is reportedly still investigating the unexpected death.

Reverter has reportedly not been seen since Jalabert's death.

According to El Pais, Edgardo said, "Now he's gone and we don't know his whereabouts. He never contacted us to give an explanation, since he was the person with whom he [Agostina] lived for the last two months."

Teuly said Reverter "ran like a coward."

The family believes Reverter may have fled to Asia, San Francisco, or Canada — where he once lived.

Edgardo Jalabert said Agostina broke up with Reverter in June 2021, but the couple reunited in December 2022, and he moved in with her around Christmas.
