Earlier today, Talent Management checked out the new Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue featuring teen model Kate Upton and discussed how the social media savvy stunner has managed to do so well in the modelling industry, curves and all.

But then we found out that not everyone is as big a fan as us.

Sophia Neophitou, who casts the models for the infamous haven of curves, the Victoria’s Secret catwalk show, recently said of Upton: “We would never use her. She’s like a footballer’s wife, with the too-blond hair and that kind of face that anyone with enough money can go out and buy.”

Ouch is all we can say! Don’t worry Upton – we still love you, even if you do wear ridiculously tiny bikinis.
