In the latest issue of\u00a0Marie Claire<\/em><\/a>, Bella Hadid<\/a> dishes on the real reason she finally agreed to return to work with Victoria’s Secret, after a very public separation years ago centering around a report in the\u00a0New York Times<\/em><\/a> alleging a culture of misogyny and sexual harassment at the lingerie company.<\/p>\n

“It has been a few years since I’ve done anything with Victoria’s Secret,” Hadid told\u00a0Marie Claire<\/em>. “What magnetized me to coming back was them coming to me and really proving to me that, behind the scenes, Victoria’s Secret has changed so drastically…. There was a type of way that, I think, a lot of us women who used to work with Victoria’s Secret felt. And now, six of the seven board members are all female.”<\/p>\n

It wasn’t smooth-sailing, convincing Hadid, one of the top celebrity models working today, to come back into the fold.<\/p>\n

“It took me almost a year and a half to take the meeting with them,” she said. “Even having that conversation was very complicated for me because of the way that I had felt in the past.”<\/p>\n

Hadid is also prepared to weather a potential storm of criticism\u2014especially on social media\u2014about her return to a brand that had previously been so mired in controversy.<\/p>\n

“I think people are going to have things to say regardless,” she said. “But I know firsthand how Victoria’s Secret used to make me feel, and now, going onto set every day, there is just an energy that’s switched. I would never work for a company that not only made me feel a type of way, but made the world feel a type of way, until I knew for a fact that real change was going to be made.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":26633,"featured_media":41808,"template":"","format":"standard","categories":[23,17,16],"yoast_head":"\nBella Hadid Explains Why She's Going Back to
