Victoria's Secret model Bridget Malcolm slams the lingerie brand as a 'joke' for adopting new woke image as she tries on old bra to show how underweight she was at 2016 show
Taking to TikTok, the 29-year-old showed fans a 30A cup bra she had worn in the show, trying on the skimpy garment before revealing she is now a 'healthy' 34B
She also claimed she was turned away for the show the following year by Edward Razek, the former Chief Marketing Officer for L Brands
'He said my body did not look good enough,' she said, revealing that her cup size in 2017 had increased to a healthier 30B
Razek quit his role in 2019, days after Victoria's Secret hired its first transgender model, having previously said 'transsexual' stars should not be cast in the show
Bridget also accused Victoria's Secret of 'performative allyship' after the brand announced it was replacing its Angels with 'diverse spokeswomen'
She branded the move 'a joke', suggesting that it has only been made as to try and boost the brand's reputation, and said that it has come 'too little, too late'
The 'Angels' have been replaced by a 'culturally relevant' group of seven women who will form the 'VS Collective' and its show has been axed in favor of a podcast
Former Victoria's Secret model Bridget Malcolm has slammed the lingerie brand's woke new image as a 'joke', accusing the company of 'performative allyship' while revealing how underweight she was while walking in its annual show back in 2016.

The 29-year-old hit out at the company in a new TikTok video in which she tried on the skimpy 30A cup bra that she wore in the Victoria's Secret show to demonstrate how tiny it is on her now-'healthy' size 34B breasts.

She went on to detail her negative experiences with the lingerie brand, which recently announced that it has axed its catwalk show and cast of Angels in favor of hiring a group of seven 'diverse spokeswomen', including transgender and plus-size models, who will promote its woke new rebrand in a podcast.

'Too little, too late Victoria's Secret,' Bridget captioned the video, adding: 'Your performative allyship is a joke.'
Performative allyship, also known as performative activism, is a term used to describe when a person or brand publicly aligns itself with a cause in order to improve their public image and reputation.

Bridget, who has often claimed she felt pressure to maintain an unhealthy weight during her days as a model, also opened up about her own negative experiences with Victoria's Secret while trying on the sparkly white bra that she had modeled backstage at its 2016 show.

'I found my bra from the 2016 Victoria's Secret fashion show,' she explained in her TikTok post, while holding up the tiny undergarment. 'It is a size 30A.

'I am now a size 34B. Which is healthy for me.'

Putting on the undergarment over a red-and-white bikini top, Bridget showed how small it is on her now, before sharing images of herself modeling the bra backstage at the 2016 show, which took place in Paris, revealing that it was actually to 'big for her' at the time.

She also shared that she was rejected from the show the following year by former Victoria's Secret executive Ed Razek, who she claimed told her that her 'body did not look good enough'.

'I was rejected from the show in 2017 by Ed Razek,' she said. 'He said "my body did not look good enough". I wore a size 30B at that point.'
