    Insider Feature: Victoria's Secret Exposed

    Ed Razek allegedly told Bella Hadid to forget the panties during a fitting while he watched. Bridget Malcolm starved herself for three days and was angry she couldn’t make it to five. Les Wexner gave Jeffrey Epstein power of attorney over his fortune, a $77 million mansion, and the private jet that became known as the Lolita Express. Nakul exposes the reality behind Victoria’s Secret. The systematic starvation that left models passing out and using IV drips to survive. The harassment allegations reported to HR that went nowhere. The Chief Marketing Officer who allegedly groped models at fittings and ended careers when they said no. The billionaire owner whose best friend used the brand as a hunting ground. 81 percent of models have a BMI in the underweight category. 54 percent skip meals. 25 percent report self induced vomiting. 40 percent use IV drips because they’re not eating enough to function. This is what young girls were taught to idolize. Nakul shares his own experiences from inside the Victoria’s Secret world. The shows he attended. The after parties. The older men who had no business being there. The culture he witnessed first-hand. Contains discussions of eating disorders, sexual harassment, and exploitation.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ You can follow Nakul on Instagram @nakullax Email us at: tfipodcast@outlook.com

    Insider Feature: The Epstein Files - The Fashion Industry Exposed

    Sixty names in his black book from fashion. Twenty five flights with a model scout on his plane. One billion dollar brand whose owner gave him power of attorney. Zero accountability. In this Insider Feature, Nakul exposes the fashion industry’s deep ties to Jeffrey Epstein using the newly released government files from January 2026. This episode breaks down how the modeling industry became the infrastructure for Epstein’s operation. You’ll hear about Jean Luc Brunel and MC2 Models, the agency Epstein funded with a million dollars that supplied girls to Nordstrom, Macy’s, Saks Fifth Avenue and other major retailers. You’ll hear about Leslie Wexner, the billionaire owner of Victoria’s Secret who gave Epstein power of attorney and whose brand was used to lure women into hotel rooms. Nakul reveals the exposed emails showing how Epstein used luxury gifts from Prada, Hermès and Fendi to buy loyalty and silence. Including the model agency executive who thanked a convicted sex offender for a Prada bag and called him her friend. There’s the birthday book that names fashion designers and celebrities. Flight logs showing who was on the planes. And the tragic story of Ruslana Korshunova, the Russian supermodel who flew to Epstein’s island at 18 and was dead by 20. Nakul also shares his personal experiences from inside the Victoria’s Secret party circuit. The culture he witnessed. The older men at the parties. The psychology behind why models get trapped in these environments. And the recruitment offers he refused when he was asked to bring girls to yachts and private parties for money. This episode exposes the system that enabled Epstein and asks why no one in fashion has been held accountable.This episode contains discussions of trafficking, exploitation and suicide.Sources include the DOJ Epstein Files released January 2026, Virginia Giuffre testimony, Model Alliance statements and Fashion Workers Act documentation.

    Insider Feature: Brooklyn Beckham and Brand Beckham

    Brooklyn Beckham just detonated Brand Beckham. In a six-page Instagram statement, David and Victoria’s eldest son exposed everything, the performative family photos, the wedding from hell, and the truth behind fashion’s most “perfect” couple. In this Insider Feature, Nakul Lax breaks down every single allegation: Victoria cancelling Nicola’s wedding dress last minute. David and Victoria allegedly trying to bribe Brooklyn into signing away his name. Victoria hijacking the first dance and dancing “inappropriately” on her own son. Brooklyn being told his bride was “not blood” the night before his wedding. And Victoria refusing to help displaced dogs during the LA fires, despite years of showing up to every fashion show for the cameras. But this episode goes deeper. Nakul pulls back the curtain on WHY we worship fake celebrity relationships, why the best relationships you’ll ever see aren’t on red carpets but in your own family, and why couples sometimes stay together not for love, but for the brand. Plus: David Beckham’s leaked emails calling the Honours Committee “unappreciative c***s”, his 13-hour queue for the Queen (performance or genuine?), and Rebecca Loos,David’s former assistant, responding TODAY to back up Brooklyn’s claims. If you’ve ever wondered what’s really happening behind the perfect Instagram photos, this episode is for you. Raw. Unfiltered. The Fashion Insider.
