In a newly released interview, former Sports Illustrated supermodel Kathy Ireland describes rampant sexual assault in the fashion industry and why she came forward to talk about it.
Actresses like Ashley Judd, Reese Witherspoon, and Rose McGowan have led the #MeToo movement’s effort to combat sexual assault in the entertainment industry.
“When a girl is made up and dressed up, and she gets behind the camera lens, it's very easy to objectify a person,” she adds. “Everything from statutory rape, sexual exploitation, drugs — there's so much that goes on that I believe most people are not aware of.” Since the #MeToo movement took hold in 2017, leading fashion photographers like Bruce Weber and Patrick Demarchelier have been accused of sexual exploitation, though they deny the claims.
A supermodel in the ‘80s and ‘90s, Ireland came to prominence when she first appeared on the cover of the Sports Illustrated’s Swimsuit edition in 1989. More than two decades later, on February 27, 2012, she made the cover of Forbes as the chief executive of Kathy Ireland Worldwide, a brand empire founded in 1993 that sells fashion and nutrition products, among many others. She has a net worth of nearly half a billion dollars, according to Forbes.
