Taylor Swift comment gets Victoria's Secret model Jessica Hart axed
November 29, 2013
Jessica Hart will probably be very careful about what she says to the press from now on. According to a Page Sixarticle posted on Friday, Nov. 29, Victoria's Secret executives have decided to ax her from next year's fashion show because of her comments about Taylor Swift.
After walking the runway for the 2013 fashion show earlier this fall, Jessica was asked if she thought Taylor, who performed for the show, could pull it off as a lingerie model.
“No… God bless her heart. I think she’s great… But I don’t know, to me, she didn’t fit," Jessica replied.
Her comment was widely reported by the media, with many perceiving it to be a diss of the singer. Jessica later tried to limit the damage by telling Us Weekly that Taylor "is a true rock star" who "absolutely killed it the other night.”
Unfortunately for her, that just wasn't enough.
According to sources, furious Victoria's Secret execs have decided to not invite Jessica to next year's fashion show. Not only that, they've decided that she won't be appearing in any upcoming catalogs.
Yikes! Perhaps if Jessica Hart was more famous and integral to the lingerie brand, like Alessandra Ambrosio, Adriana Lima, Karlie Kloss, and Doutzen Kroes, the executives wouldn't have been so harsh on her. Considering that even the seasoned pros put themselves through a terrifying audition process every year in order to be included in the fashion show, it seems that Jessica really has no chance of recovering with the brand.
