Kylie Bisutti, former Victoria's Secret angel first got her wings when she won the brand's first ever national model search in 2009. Back then she gushed on her life changing moment calling it "a dream come true."
However in 2013 Bisutti is singing a different tune as she told the New York Post that while working for Victoria's Secret she felt like "a piece of meat."
According to People, the former model said she quit the glamorous life of being a Victoria's Secret "Angel" to honor God, and has written a book about her decision, called "I'm No Angel."
She told the Post that she was told to play down her relationships unless she was married to a celebrity, "I was being paid to strip down and pose provocatively to titillate men."
She reflects on a time when she was demeaned, "Once a photographer actually pushed me up against the wall and tried to kiss me."
Victoria's Secret has been silent towards Kylie Bisutti's allegations however on Thursday the company issued a statement to People that said, "Bisutti is overstating her association with the brand and, in fact, was never an official Angel."
The company's actual statement was as followed, "Ms. Bisutti has made numerous fabrications and misstatements of fact regarding her brief association with Victoria's Secret. In 2009, Ms. Bisutti won an online amateur modeling competition and hasn't worked for us since that year."
"The prize for the winning contestant was the unique opportunity to a one-time walk in the 2009 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show. Ms. Bisutti also participated in a swim photo shoot in 2009. That was the extent of Ms. Bisutti's involvement with Victoria's Secret."
"She was never a Victoria's Secret 'Angel' as defined by the terms of our Angel model contract. And contrary to Ms. Bisutti's claims, she was never offered any subsequent modeling contracts or opportunities with Victoria's Secret despite her multiple appeals for further work."
"She has repeatedly fabricated her work experience with Victoria's Secret - including a relationship that simply did not exist."
