"We Never Wanted This!" Savannah Stone on Why Modern Women Are So Unhappy in 2026 | Jack Neel
"I remember getting dozens of emails a day whenever I was modeling from random brands that would disguise themselves as really big brands and offer to fly you out and pay you $10,000 to do a shoot. And a lot of women, very young women, fall for those schemes. And they're all trafficking schemes."
Based on her experience starting modeling at age 13, Stone warns that the modeling industry is rife with human trafficking schemes where fake brands offer young women money and travel for photoshoots. She also witnessed a man photographing underage models changing backstage on day six of a show with no consequences from organizers.
