Vanessa Lorenzo She has been one of the four great models with whom Jon Sistiaga has spoken on his program Another Approach. Together with Judit Mascó, Verónica Blume and Laura Ponte, Carles Puyol’s partner has sat next to the television presenter to bring to light the less visible side of the world of catwalks, a reality that they themselves have touched very closely by be your profession.
Although Vanesa Blume has revealed the eating disorder she suffered during her golden era as a model, the Catalan has provided another point of view, specifically, she has talked about reification that he suffered in the different castings to whom he presented himself.
“In the modeling profession you are a tool that you are providing an image…”, stated the actress, who explained that women become dehumanized to be seen as a “a facade that may interest your”.
In this sense, the partner of the former captain of FC Barcelona, with whom he has had a relationship since 2012, has highlighted the comments, attitudes and treatment, which were not always the best and that many of them had to put up with them. “I have felt many times like a prejudice that beyond this—his body, his face, his physique—there is no more“, the Catalan model continued explaining.
For her part, Verónica Blume has focused the focus on the importance of age at that time, since they were just children. “Now I have a different consciousness, but at that time I identified with that role. If I don’t open my mouth, no one will complain. “I have come to put on a face and a body,” said the German, adding that she would not be able to tell someone that “she is very fat and that is why I canceled her.”
“At that moment, the concept of reification that is so talked about now did not exist in my head,” Blume admitted, words that have been complemented by Judit Mascó, who has called the situation “an abuse of power.” “He who has power despises you, but we didn’t live it like that back then“said the Spanish supermodel and presenter.
Verónica Blume has explained that models create a kind of shell to protect themselves from these comments. “You hide in a mask and that person was left behind and there is a moment in which that person also protects himself. And then the mask fell off, which was the hardest moment,” the German model detailed in the Mediaset space, suggesting that the models then move on to a stage in which they ignore those comments.
Laura Ponte has taken the floor to point out that, many times, models suffer objectification from the public, since she does not remember not noticing this type of situations among models, but she did when she had a social life that was not related to her job. In this sense, Judit Mascó has uncovered the darker side of modeling, because she has seen in first person things that did not fit her much. “The things that scared me I turned away from. But once when I went to a party I saw things that shocked me a lot, about drugs and older men with younger models,” she said.
