VICTORIA’S SECRET: BATHWATER METH! Tormented lingerie models bare frantic fights to stay skinny
VICTORIA’S Secret models were so desperate to keep their limelight jobs with the lingerie giant, they starved, overexercised and took drugs leading to horrific physical and mental side effects, including post-traumatic stress disorder!
The revelations come from the eight-part podcast Fallen Angel: The Victoria’s Secret Story, which blows the lid off the behind-the-scenes nightmare of glittering fashion shows that left the lingerie beauties with “eating disorders, poor health, depression, anxiety and other issues,” podcast producers charge.
Former Angel Erin Heatherton reveals that at 25 her body changed and “I was just a little bit bigger. That pushed me over the edge, led me down this path where I went to see this nutritionist who started me on this diet pill called phentermine, which my therapist later called ‘bathwater meth.’”
Phentermine is a prescription amphetamine that suppresses appetite, but also has risky side effects including increased heart rate.
Erin, now 32, felt desperate, and began injecting the drug along with human growth hormone.
Podcast co-host Justine Harman notes, “She was taking that on a daily basis. It helps you lose a pound a day. We’re talking about an already lean model losing weight.”

Bridget Malcolm notes she developed an eating disorder to maintain “sample size” and her agent, who wasn’t named, urged her to take cocaine for weight loss!
In 2017, after her bra size increased from 30A to 30B, she insists then Victoria’s Secret bigwig Ed Razek dropped her saying she “did not look good enough.”
Bridget says in her desperation to keep the gig, she worked out “twice a day” while starving herself. “I was reliant on antianxiety medication to get through the night. My body wasn’t working,” she says. “I didn’t feel present at all. I was not there.”
Now, she claims she suffers from “complex PTSD. I have had really bad panic attacks and I’ve had some really, really serious mental health struggles that weren’t in my life prior to Victoria’s Secret and modeling.”
