The model married Gerald Marie in 1987, when she was 22 years old. The marriage lasted until 1993.
Canadian supermodel Linda Evangelista has admitted that during her five-year marriage to the head of the European division of Elite Models, Gerald Marie, she was repeatedly abused. She said this in the Apple TV+ documentary series Supermodels, which tells about the underbelly of the modeling industry, reports The New York Post.
According to her, her ex-boyfriend mocked her in a very deliberate way. He didn’t mean to hit her in the face, he knew she brought him a lot of money.
He said he also believed in Gerald’s other victims and admired their courage. After all, thanks to them, he was able to openly talk about his marriage.
“Thanks to the strength of all these women who came forward, God bless them all, it gave me the courage to speak out now. During my relationship with Gerald Marie, I knew nothing about the sexual allegations against him, so I couldn’t stop these women. After hearing them today and based on my own experience, I believe they are telling the truth: it breaks my heart that these wounds may never heal and I admire their courage and strength after speak up… I want to see justice prevail . I want such idiots to think twice and be afraid, and for women to know they are not alone,” said the model.
In addition, Linda Evangelista said that it was difficult for her to leave an abusive relationship, which she entered at the age of 22.
“It’s hard to take a step and leave a relationship. I understand it because I lived with someone like that. If I just said I wanted a divorce, it wouldn’t work,” she said.
The celebrity added that his ex-husband only left him when he realized he could have everything. “I’m ready to give everything to get my freedom.”
Earlier it was reported that Linda Evangelista admitted that she has breast cancer.
