“Stop a moment.” Cindy Crawford criticizes Oprah Winfrey for treating her like an “object” on camera in her 20s.

Beginning this Wednesday, September 20, the documentary series airs on Apple TV+ Supermodels particularly going back to the first interview with Cindy Crawford conducted by Oprah Winfrey in 1986. The 20-year-old American was at the beginning of her career as an international model. four years ago he was discovered by a local photographer. . During filming, she accompanies her agent, John Casablancas, the founder of the Elite agency, who died in 2013, who launched a competition that she won.

The day was all about putting the spotlight on an Elite Team recruit whose founder predicted an exceptional career. “With Cindy it was very psychological, she wasn’t sure she wanted to be a model… Little by little her ambition grew. He understands, and I’m saying it now on this show, that he can become a major if he wants to,” John Casablancas explains to the host.

“Has she always had this body?”

On the set, a young Cindy Crawford, still afraid of the public, tells Oprah Winfrey about her new life, moving to Chicago, her life as a student before entering modeling. “Has he always had this body?” the host asks, addressing John Casablancas. “Get up for a moment. Now this is what I call a body,” he adds to Cindy Crawford, who does so, smiling nervously, clearly uncomfortable in this pose that invites viewers to view her outline under a magnifying glass.

In the documentary supermodels, Cindy Crawford reflects what she felt. “I didn’t realize it at the time, but looking back at that interview, I said to myself: “Oh my god, that was really inappropriate,” especially from Oprah. “I was like an object or a child, like I was seen and not heard.” An excerpt from this interview, which was available on Oprah Winfrey’s YouTube channel until Tuesday evening, was removed hours before the documentary was released. But it is still visible on social networks.
