“It seemed likely they knew they were encouraging models into compromising, even dangerous situations. They were more careful with top-earning supermodels but it usually seemed the agency’s allegiance was to the clients, not the models whose interests they were supposed to represent.”

Who is paying the agency? That should give you an idea of what their real product is.

[Boogieman]

Ostensibly, the models pay the agency, but really they just take a cut of what the customers are paying the models. They’re no more economically motivated to protect the interests of a model than a pimp is motivated to protect the interests of his prostitute.
