Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Title VII), which prohibits employment discrimination . . .

This isn't an employment situation under Title VII. This is a business contract where each party has the right to sever the contract for any reason provided for in said contract. If Victoria's Secret offers a contract to a model to represent them in their advertising, and that model proceeds to gain 50 additional pounds, then Victoria's Secret would be well within their rights to sever that contract on the basis that the model had ballooned to the size of a small pig. Likewise, if Planned Parenthood had contracted with Norma Leah McCorvey to be their spokesperson before her religious transformation, and she subsequently got saved and began preaching on the evils of abortion, PP would have the right to terminate that contract. Government would have no right to prevent a company from legally ending a contract which went against their own interests.
