Victoria's Secret fashion Show 2015: Angel Magdalena Frackowiak refuses to talk to TMZ reporter after he asks 'stupid' questions about food

A Victoria's Secret Angel shut down a TMZ reporter for asking her a “stupid” question and insinuating models were starving themselves ahead of the fashion show.

The backstage preparations for the Victoria's Secret fashion show are almost as big as the annual lingerie catwalk itself and journalists from across the world are invited to film and interview models as they get ready.

The US entertainment site TMZ was among outlets invited to meet with models on Tuesday. They chose to focus their interviews on one aspect of preparations: diet.

A video taken by TMZ shows a model wearing only underwear standing on a podium backstage as a group of almost completely male photographers take her picture.

In the video, which TMZ titled: ‘Backstage with Hot Models Who Crave Fatty Foods’, the camera zooms over trays of sandwiches and fruit before a male reporter asked models what they are looking forward to eating after the show.

But one Angel, Magdalena Frackowiak, took a stand against the line of questioning and demanded they ask her more intelligent questions.

“What? No guys, not with these kinds of questions, this is stupid!” she said. “Ask more smart questions, not eating after the show. You make me look like an idiot - it seems like I’m starving myself and I can’t wait for the show to end to eat.”

She then dismissed the reporter when he tried to defend his line of questioning and refused to answer any more of his questions.

TMZ responded to Frackowiak’s frustration predictably, warning readers that “you gotta watch for Magdalena Frackowiak, though,” because this "chick” was “NOT down with food questions ... we're guessing she was just hangry”.

Sexism is a hot topic of debate during discussions about the show, which came under criticism last year when it emerged a PR instructed an Independent journalist not to ask a model about feminism.

Questions such as “do you have a favourite outfit from the show?” and “how does it feel to be a Victoria’s Secret (VS) model?” were answered by models without any interjections.

But the questions, “some critics would say that the show objectifies women – what would you say to that?” and “are you a feminist?”, posed to Dutch Angel Romee Strijd, saw a PR representative swiftly step in and tell our journalist “can we maybe not ask that”.
