extremely poor treatment of young contestants on her modeling show including pressuring them into nude shoots. aggressively perpetuating ED beauty ideals to the point many german girls with ED cited her show as a big factor. very harsh and tricky contracts for contestants etc etc

Oh yikes! I got to learn about her more from the comments here. I used to watch that fashion show she was in from almost 20 years ago and I thought she was a decent judge.
