Jodie Kidd Dumped by Agency For Piling On The Pounds

Posted by Michele Obi on Tuesday, 8 July 2008One Comment

So, when Lily Cole gained weight she told her agency who then called the Gaultier, Dior and Lacroix and told them to adjust the clothes to fit her and they did. When Jodie Kidd gained weight, her agency dropped her.

When Kate Moss was caught up in a drug scandal she was still sought after. When Jodie Kidd found herself in a drug scandal of her own, she lost her contract with Marks and Spencer’s and hasn’t got much work since. Fair? Not so much.

The reason why she hasn’t been as fortunate…apparently she’s not in the same league as Kate. Does that mean she’s not in the same league as Lily too?

Admittedly, Jodie has faced previous fallout for an earlier drug scandal. But given the nature of the industry, it’s obvious that her sudden weight gain is the greater offense. [...]
