Victoria’s Secret model Sara Sampaio says she’s pressured to pose naked as she slams industry sex harassment

VICTORIA’S Secret angel Sara Sampaio has admitted she often feels pressured to strip naked on photoshoots and slammed the industry for a “hypocritical” response to disgraced photographer Terry Richardson.

Speaking at the Web Summit in Lisbon, the Portuguese-born 26-year-old said even at the top of the fashion industry she feels bullied into getting naked while working.

“I’ve definitely had throughout my career a lot of times that I’ve got pushed into some things I didn’t want to. Or things that people are like ‘oh that’s just part of the business’,” she said.

“I’m fed up and I’m in a great position in the fashion industry so I can’t imagine all these new girls just coming in. Especially when you’re a new face it’s a lot of s**t you go through.

“Underage girls being forced to do topless photos, underage girls being sexualised very early and even older girls being bullied into getting naked. It doesn’t need to be like that.”

Speaking about her recent experience with French men’s magazine Lui, which she outed on Instagram after it published pictures against her will, Sampaio revealed how she came under pressure to strip despite agreeing to shoot the Autumn cover on a no nudity contract, reported.
