Vanity Fair cover

Upton appears on the cover of the October 2013 issue of Vanity Fair. She talks about how she didn’t always have positive remarks on her appearance.

I’m not going to name names, but one agency told me, “You’re too American, and everybody knows American women are lazy.” I was so offended! I’ve never been so offended! I was like, “You know that you’re in America, right?” And it wasn’t “American models”—it was “American women are lazy,” period! I feel like a lot of women would disagree with that. A lot!
