“I think every job is my last job, and you want to be the beautiful girl that everyone has,” Paulina Porizkova said about the start of her modeling career in Wednesday’s Red Table Talk.
Paulina Porizkova spoke about an anxious moment with a photographer while modeling.
The 57-year-old author and supermodel was a guest on Wednesday’s episode of Red Table Talk on Facebook Watch, hosted by Jada Pinkett Smith, daughter Willow, and mother, Adrienne Banfield-Norris.
Pinkett asked Porizkova about a “traumatic and abusive incident” Porizkova had when she was young.
Porizkova shared her story: “So I was 15 years old, just 15 years old. I’m in Paris; It’s a big deal to get hire for any job because I think every job is going to be the last and you want to be a pretty girl that everyone pleases.”
Porizkova talked about a particular moment and said she was sitting in front of the makeup mirror with the makeup artist and hairdresser.
“The photographer came up behind me, and then I felt something on my shoulder, and it was warm and heavy. And he was laughing at me, and the makeup artist was laughing at me, and the hairdresser was laughing, everyone was laughing.
Porizkova said she was still confuse by what happen.
“And I was like, ‘What is that?'” They’re almost like flowers, but they taste like pantyhose filled with mashed potatoes. I couldn’t understand that at all,” he recalls.
“It wasn’t until he put it away and cover it that I realize it was his penis.”
Asked by Pinkett if this was the “first time” she’d seen body parts, the model said, “Yeah, yeah. It was literally the first time I’d ever seen a penis.”
Banfield-Norris called the incident “grossly disrespectful”.
