Romee Strijd Misses Victoria Secret Show After Selection Decision

Model Romee Strijd, 30, will not appear in this years Victoria Secret show after the organization decided not to select her following an early September casting in New York. According to linda.nl, Strijd had trained after her pregnancy and wanted to return to the runway with the show.

According to linda.nl, Strijd spent weeks waiting for an update after the casting while continuing her training because she did not know whether she was still being considered. She later received confirmation that she would not be part of the show.

The model told linda.nl that she asked for an explanation and was informed that she did not fit this years show. She was also frustrated because her agency had previously told her there was still no final decision.

"I do not feel supported by them," said Romee Strijd, model.

According to linda.nl, Strijd said she wanted more honesty from her agency so she could have processed the outcome earlier. She said the experience affected how she viewed future auditions for the event.

"I do not like how the whole process went. I do not like how I was treated," said Romee Strijd, model.

According to linda.nl, Strijd said rejection is part of modeling work but indicated she likely would not audition for the show again. She also said she wanted to keep the positive memories from her previous appearances and wished the selected models a good show.
