At 57, Karen Mulder Finally Reveals What They Forced Her To Say

In 2001, Karen Mulder sat down for a French talk show interview that was never broadcast. Within weeks she was in a clinic, and when she came out, the story had become that she made it all up. For twenty five years that retraction was the last word on one of the original Victoria’s Secret Angels. Now, at 57, on the cover of Vogue Germany, she says those words were never hers. So who decided what Karen Mulder was allowed to say? There’s the lost interview with Thierry Ardisson that no one has ever seen. There’s the clinic, the silence, and the sentence she says she was forced to repeat. And there’s the comeback nobody saw coming, from a September cover to a surprise appearance at the 2026 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show. #KarenMulder #Supermodels #90sSupermodels #VictoriasSecret #VogueGermany #FashionHistory #FashionDocumentary #BeyondTheCatwalk
