She shared that she’s spent recent years working on recovering from those experiences, and is finally feeling happy, balanced, and strong enough to speak. “I feel the best I’ve ever felt,” she said in her video.

“By the age of 18, I’d lived in three countries alone. I traveled to all continents except Antarctica. I’ve been groomed by a much older man. I’ve been sexually assaulted multiple times. I’ve been told to do cocaine to lose weight by my agent, been told weekly, and have been under a lot of pressure to lose weight by my agencies,” Malcolm said.

Later in her video, the model added that she was also told by modeling agencies “to just have lots of sex to lose weight.” She said that she was underage during all of those experiences, and was struggling with her gender identity at the time according to Yahoo news.
