In a new interview with the Times of London, Alexa Chung says she had a lot of bad experiences working as a model in her teens:

“I never really asked my mum or my dad’s advice during [my time modeling] … I didn’t want to tell them too much about the reality of what was going on – when I was taking the train to London and being asked to do certain things,” she says. “I already knew it was wrong. So, you know, if there was a casting where some creepy man there had gone on to his flat in Ilford and you know, ‘Take your clothes off…’ and if I’d have done it, I won’t tell my mum because I know that that’s wrong […] In hindsight I look back and think, ‘Did you really need an 18-year-old girl to strip in your front room?’'”

Chung says that now, more than a decade later, she still has “loads of flashbacks” about these incidents. “I’ve sort of blocked it out and I don’t really think of those days.”
