The rumors come after Victoria's Secret experienced a massive backlash previous year over comments made by chief marketing officer Ed Razek of Victoria's Secret's parent company, L Brand, who said transgender and plus-size models should not be included in the company's popular televised fashion show "because the show is a fantasy".
