Woke Victoria’s Secret CEO Resigns After Less Than A Year — Male And Plus-Size Models Didn’t Sell Enough Lingerie?

Victoria’s Secret brand CEO Amy Hauk resigned after less than a year on the job – their stock dropped 8% after the news.

CNN reported:

Victoria’s Secret brand CEO Amy Hauk has resigned less than a year into the job, the company said Tuesday. The company has suffered a public relations black eye since its founder, Leslie Wexner, was found to have ties to Jeffrey Epstein.

Many of the company’s recent brand decisions were far cries from the traditional image Victoria’s Secret previously held with consumers, perhaps most notably ending its Victoria’s Secret “Angels” brand, opting for a more inclusive advertising approach.

In February 2022, the company hired its first plus-size model, a TikTok influencer, as it expanded the sizes of its garments. Hauk called the move empowering and remarked that she thought the model pushed boundaries.

It pushed boundaries yes - pushed the customers over the boundary of buying from Victoria's Secret.

I mean, how stupid does one have to be to not realize the core of your business?!

I don’t watch much TV - mostly sports - but the ‘plus’ size models in comercials, sometimes in lingere or tight workout clothing - makes me gag.

Same here. And they appear in ads for fitness products. These models are not fit. In fact they appear to be morbidly obese. WTF?!

Amy Hauk... She wants women to look like her. What woman wouldn't want that sexy bod?

So sexy she hides it under a XXXL black tent.

How much did she get for screwing up the company? I’d have done it for half!

Just “Googled” Amy Hauk’s photo and it was just as I expected. She is a less than attractive, fat, slovenly, pasty white woman. No doubt she thought she could redefine beauty in favor of fat chicks everywhere. Unfortunately for her, and despite what the woke world wants the rest of the world to believe, lesbians and queers are not in the majority and do not get to determine what beauty is for the rest of us. As far as female beauty is concerned, that domain still belongs to heterosexual males and we will determine what beauty is for us.

So go suck on your fugly fat girlfriend’s toes, you stupid great fat cow.

The fat mannequins really get me. All the stores have them now. Makes me not want to buy the clothes.

“Evening wear!”

I remember that commercial. Think it was from the Super Bowl about 30 years ago.

It was great fictitious humor then but who could have ever imagined the “woke world” would ever dare to attempt to redefine that as beauty today?

Right there with you.
However my husband just calls lingerie floor warmers.
I like one piece suits with a skirt because I also have surgery scars besides the C section.
