Paulina Porizkova is exposing some dark secrets of the high-fashion world, claiming that her rise to superstardom was paved with uncomfortable encounters.

The Sports Illustrated Swimsuit legend, now 60, detailed the normalization of sexual harassment she allegedly faced as a teenager, saying the very people tasked with managing her career often sent her into compromising situations.

“I started modeling at 15 in Paris on a summer break from school,” Porizkova shared in a video clip posted to Instagram. “And every day I was sent on four to 10 so-called ‘go-and-sees.’ You go, and they see — all over the city — by myself, with no knowledge of the language or the city.”

The Czechoslovakia-born model explained that while some meetings were professional, many others were far from it.

“Sometimes the people I was seeing were well-dressed and in offices, and sometimes they were middle-aged guys in messy apartments who just wanted to take a few casual photos of me — you know, preferably topless,” she said. “I’ve lost count of the amount of men in open bathrobes who greeted me in their hotel rooms or apartments where I have been sent by an agency or clients.”

Porizkova, who made history in 1984 as the first Central European woman to land a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit cover, noted that the advances were not limited to messy apartments.

She recalled well-dressed older men frequently inviting her to parties, yachts and tropical villas.

For years, the supermodel believed these encounters were simply part of the paycheck.

“I took it all for granted,” Porizkova admitted. “That my job was to take my clothes off, put my clothes back on, and then learn how to creatively fend off horny men so that you don’t offend them and lose a job.”

It wasn’t until the 1990s, while watching a segment on Oprah Winfrey’s talk show about sexual harassment in the workplace, that she realized her own experiences qualified as harassment.

“I looked at my girlfriend and said, ‘That’s sexual harassment? I thought that was compliments,’” she recalled.

Reflecting on her vulnerability as a child in a high-stakes industry, the “No Filter: The Good, the Bad, and the Beautiful” author emphasized how easily children can be manipulated by those in power.

“When you take a child, and you put them in any situation, that child will adapt. If an adult tells you that this is how it’s supposed to be, well, then who are you, the child, to protest? And this makes the child the easiest target,” she said. “And if you’re unsure of how old exactly a child is to be a child, well, then you either don’t have one or you don’t have the humanity to remember being one.”

The supermodel captioned her social media post with the hashtags “#Epstein,” “#EpsteinFiles” and “#Justice.”

Porizkova’s illustrious career includes serving as the face of Estée Lauder and appearing as a judge on “America’s Next Top Model” alongside Tyra Banks. Over a 41-year career, she has appeared in 11 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issues.

She has also transitioned into a successful writing career, releasing her debut novel, “A Model Summer,” in 2007 and her candid nonfiction book in 2022, “No Filter.”

Fox News Digital has reached out to Porizkova for comment. 

According to the Israeli Prime Minister’s Office, Netanyahu believes that any talks with Iran should include the condition of stopping the ballistic missile program and dismantling Iran-backed regional networks. The statement said that limited talks on the nuclear program alone would not be enough. Israel wants the agreement to be accompanied by a comprehensive security framework.

US-Iran indirect talks in Oman
Indirect talks between America and Iran took place in Oman on Friday. This conversation was to decide the future direction regarding Iran’s nuclear program. Initial indications suggested that the talks had returned to the starting point. President Trump described the talks as very good and said that there are plans to hold talks again next week. The US side was represented by Special Envoy for Middle East Steve Witkoff and Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner.

America is also maintaining military pressure
Trump has already said that if necessary, force can be used to put pressure on Iran for a nuclear deal. Earlier, America had deployed several warships in the area including the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln. The deployment came amid heightened tensions in Iran following a crackdown on protests. Gulf countries fear that any attack could spark a wider regional war.

Military commander also involved in the talks process
For the first time, America also included its top military commander of the West Asia region in the talks process related to Iran. Central Command chief Admiral Brad Cooper arrived aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln after the talks. Witkoff and Kushner were also present with him. This indicates that military preparations are also being kept parallel with diplomatic talks.

Iran said- talks only on nuclear issue
Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said that nuclear talks should be held in a calm atmosphere and without threats. He made it clear that Iran will discuss only on its nuclear program. This round of talks is over and the diplomats are returning to their respective countries. A proposal also emerged that Iran stop enrichment for three years, send out highly enriched uranium and promise not to start using ballistic missiles, but official agreement on this is not clear.

Brad Arnold, the lead singer and founding member of the popular rock band 3 Doors Down, has died following a battle with cancer. He was 47.

According to a statement obtained by Fox News Digital, Arnold “passed away peacefully, surrounded by loved ones, in his sleep after his courageous battle with cancer,” on Saturday, Feb. 7.

“As a founding member, vocalist, and original drummer of 3 Doors Down, Brad helped redefine mainstream rock music, blending post-grunge accessibility with emotionally direct songwriting and lyrical themes that resonated with everyday listeners,” the statement read.

The statement went on to praise Arnold’s songwriting, which “became a cultural touchstone for a generation.”

The band’s breakout hit, “Kryptonite,” was written by Arnold “in his math class when he was just 15 years old,” the statement said. “His music reverberated far beyond the stage, creating moments of connection, joy, faith, and shared experiences that will live on long after the stages he performed on.”

“Above all, he was a devoted husband to Jennifer, and his kindness, humor, and generosity touched everyone fortunate enough to know him. Those closest to him will remember not only his talent, but his warmth, humility, faith, and deep love for his family and friends.”

The statement concluded by expressing how “deeply grateful” his family is “for the outpouring of love and support during this difficult time,” and asked for privacy.

“He will be deeply missed and forever remembered,” the statement ended.

The band also shared the statement on X, with many fans sharing their heartbreak in the comment sections.

“What a loss but we are very fortunate to have had Brad and y’all’s music grace our lives. Prayers to Brad’s family and the band,” one fan wrote, while another added, “There will never be another soothing voice as his.. 3 Doors Down music is one of the greatest! Prayers for his family at this time.”

Arnold first announced he was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer in May 2025. He posted a video on Instagram in which he told his fans, “I’ve got some not-so-good news for you today.”

The Mississippi native explained that he got checked out at a hospital after feeling sick a couple of weeks before, which was when doctors diagnosed him with clear cell renal cell carcinoma “that had metastasized into my lung.”

Later in the video, he assured his fans that he isn’t afraid of the diagnosis, but added that they would have to force them to cancel all upcoming performances for their tour at the time.

“Thank you for all the memories so far. Now, I believe ‘ITS NOT MY TIME’ is really my song,” he wrote in the caption of the video. “This’ll be a battle so we need our prayers warriors! Thank y’all for being the best fans in the world. We love y’all!”

3 Doors Down was founded in 1996 by Arnold and his bandmates Todd Harrell and Matt Roberts while they were still in high school. Their debut album, “The Better Life,” was released in 2000 and was a huge success, and featured many of their hits, including “Kryptonite,” “Loser” and “Be Like That.”

A former homicide detective is raising questions about the amount of time investigators believe suspects spent inside the home of missing Arizona woman Nancy Guthrie.

Investigators are examining a roughly 41-minute window between when the home’s doorbell camera disconnected and when Guthrie’s pacemaker app later stopped communicating with her phone.

The Pima County Sheriff’s Department released a timeline showing the doorbell camera disconnected at 1:47 a.m., with motion detected at 2:12 a.m., and the pacemaker disconnected at 2:28 a.m.

Officials clarified that the surveillance system only detected motion and did not record video, leaving open the possibility that an animal outside the home triggered the software.

However, former D.C. homicide detective Ted Williams argued the length of time is what raises red flags.

“If you are a crook, and you want to burglarize a place, you’re [going to] get in there and get the hell out,” Williams said on “Saturday in America.” 

“They stayed in 41 minutes.”

Guthrie, 84, is the mother of NBC News’ “Today” show host Savannah Guthrie and has been missing from her home in Tucson since Jan. 31. Law enforcement has not named any suspects or motive in the case but confirmed a crime occurred.

Williams said spending 41 minutes inside a home is uncharacteristic of a burglary and may suggest the suspects were familiar with the home and its security system.

“That leads me to believe that they were well aware of the cameras and those cameras were inoperable in that home,” he added.

In a statement, the FBI and Pima County Sheriff’s Department said they are reviewing messages related to Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance. Investigators said multiple alleged ransom notes have surfaced, including one sent to local news outlets and TMZ earlier this week.

In a video posted Wednesday night, the Guthrie family urged anyone with information about their mother’s disappearance to come forward, addressing reports of ransom notes and saying they are “ready to talk.”

American freestyle skiers are facing intense backlash on social media after comments made about representing the United States at the 2026 Milan Cortina Winter Olympics amid the Trump administration’s recent immigration enforcement operations in the U.S. 

Speaking to the media ahead of Friday’s opening ceremony, several members of Team USA’s freestyle ski team spoke out about representing the U.S. as the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations continue to be carried out under President Donald Trump’s second term. 

Two-time Olympian and Olympic gold medalist Chris Lillis said that while he “would never” want to represent another country in the Games, he’s “heartbroken” over the administration’s actions.

“I love the USA. I would never want to represent a different country in the Olympics. With that being said, a lot of times, athletes are hesitant to talk about political views and how we feel about things.

“I feel heartbroken about what’s happening in the United States – I’m pretty sure you’re referencing ICE and some of the protests and things like that,” he continued. “I think that, as a country, we need to focus on respecting everybody’s rights and making sure that we’re treating our citizens as well as anybody, with love and respect. I hope that when people look at athletes compete in the Olympics, they realize that that’s the America we’re trying to represent.”

First-time Olympian Hunter Hess echoed that sentiment, but took it further, saying he has “mixed emotions” about representing the U.S. in these Games. 

“It brings up mixed emotions to represent the U.S. right now, I think. It’s a little hard. There’s obviously a lot going on that I’m not the biggest fan of, and I think a lot of people aren’t.”

“I think for me, it’s more I’m representing my friends and family back home, the people that represented it before me, all the things that I believe are good about the U.S. – if it aligns with my moral values, I feel like I’m representing it. Just because I’m wearing the flag doesn’t mean I represent everything that’s going on in the U.S.”

He continued, “I just kind of want to do it for my friends and my family and the people that support me getting here.” 

The remarks elicited a strong response from Team USA supporters on social media. 

“The anti-ICE, liberal athletes are already insufferable at the Olympics,” one comment read, in part. “If you’re not proud to represent the red, white, & blue, stay home.”

 “Chris Lillis and Hunter Hess should be sent back home immediately,” another user wrote. “They have insulted our entire nation on the world stage and should no longer be allowed to represent us.”

“You shouldn’t be representing the U.S.A. if you hate it here,” another post read. “So tired of this Anti-American rhetoric.”

Hess is competing in the men’s freeski halfpipe, and Lillis is competing in men’s aerials.
