The former Maxim model spoke about rape and bullying in the fashion industry

Beauty, success and fame can hide a terrible reality. The former model, who starred for the men's magazine Maxim, spoke about the experience of rape and constant psychological pressure. She claims that she was drugged and raped during a business lunch with a photographer, and the director of a modeling agency regularly forced her to have sex with him and only after that gave her a job. Read the revelations of one of the most popular models of the 2000s further in our material.

Nikki Dubose is one of the most famous models of the early 2000s. She shone on the covers of many popular publications, including Maxim and Glamour. The beauty suffered from harassment and health problems caused by too strict requirements of the fashion industry.

The ex-model said that the former agent constantly forced her to lose weight and gave her a job only after she slept with him. Constant pressure led Nikki to physical and mental health problems. Despite her fame and success, she saw the darkest sides of the fashion world.

Nikki Dubose suffered from the pressure of the director of the agency, who forced her to have sex with him. If the girl refused, he did not provide her with work. In addition, the former model claims that she was once drugged and raped at a business lunch with a photographer. This case caused serious psychological trauma.

As a result of such a terrible attitude, Nikki began to suffer from an eating disorder and dysmorphic phobia. She believes that the modeling agency has aggravated her problems. The American woman says that the fashion industry destroys the psyche.

Against the background of the stress experienced, the former model fell ill with anorexia nervosa. She weighed only 40 kg, while everyone around admired her slender figure. Now Nikki understands that the agency just wanted to make money on her. The woman regrets that she allowed others to control and offend herself.

In 2018, Nikki Dubose admitted that she had experienced sexual abuse from her own mother. Since then, she began to suffer from sex addiction. The ex-model said that the depraved acts on her began when she was only 8 - 9 years old, and continued until the age of 13.

When the girl turned 13, the police took her away from her parents' house. Nikki tried to forget herself by using drugs and alcohol, and then fell into a sexual addiction. She remembers having sex on autopilot without feeling anything in her heart.

Later, the American tried to find solace in the fashion industry. Having become a professional model, she was never able to assert herself and understand her own value.

Nikki retired from the fashion business in 2012 after the death of her mother in a car accident. She decided to end a successful career because she realized that her addiction in this area is only getting worse. The woman could not find herself, no matter how hard she tried, losing her health and self-esteem.

Now Nikki Dubose is the founder of the help service for those suffering from eating disorders. She is receiving her PhD in clinical psychology from Meridian University in San Francisco.

In 2016, the former model wrote the book "Washed Away: From Darkness to Light" ("Washed Away: From Darkness to Light"), where she spoke about her struggle with an eating disorder, depression and experienced sexual abuse. Nikki calls for stopping the violence of women in all spheres and hopes that the situation will improve over time.

Meanwhile, the former Playboy model talked about how violently Halloween was celebrated at Hugh Hefner's mansion. Hot beauties did not wear costumes — their bodies were simply painted with paints.
