One of the Saddest Supermodel Stories of the 90s: Stephanie Seymour

She was 16 when Vogue put her on the cover. By 22 she was one of the original Victoria's Secret Angels and the face of Guns N' Roses' November Rain — the most iconic music video of the decade. Axl Rose called her the love of his life. Then he sued her for assault. She sued him back. She left him and married one of the richest men in America, art billionaire Peter Brant, at 25 while he was still married to someone else. She had three children with him. In 2009 she filed for divorce in one of the most brutal, public splits in New York high-society history — police called to the estate, allegations of cocaine, custody battles over a diamond collection. They reconciled. Then in January 2021 her middle son Harry, a rising fashion star at 24, died of a prescription drug overdose days before he was supposed to enter rehab. This is the story of the supermodel who had everything, kept everything, and still lost more than the world ever saw.
