Let's give
@Angelina some credit. She did not once support this girl's activities nor encourage her lifestyle. She merely tried to speculate why this would be her outcome. I don't condone this lifestyle either, but as I age, I try to move away from condemnation to understanding and using people as case studies. So, let's continue.
This girl was raised without her parents/adopted (
according to the video clip). Probably with relatives. Even if her relatives treated her well and did the best they could, they cared for a girl with many insecurities. And a pronounced need to feel accepted, wanted, and appreciated by her peer group. Teenagers identify much more with their peers than adults/parents. This is a critical period of development. Anyway, if you do not feel firmly rooted n the ground or your convictions, you'll do more for validation.
Sometimes you get a marginal sense of mattering to others from your appearance or athletic prowess. This is, however, surface level and doesn't fully appreciate people for who they are but rather what they have and can do (perform).
I digress. She was a late arrival to the Netherlands. A place where fitting in was difficult because she was not raised there, looked different and where Islamophobia was on the incline, given a political shift toward the extreme right. As
@TekNiKo said, it's also a land where window prostitution, euthanasia, and the use of soft drugs in coffee shops are perfectly acceptable. All these factors are a perfect storm just waiting to happen.
From what I recall, they push hijabi models to wear less. And as you see, Jawahir started moving in that direction until she was bikini-clad on the trashy dating show - Too Hot to Handle.
I will take Halima Aden's words seriously. The modelling industry is seedy. There is certainly a casting couch. People you work with, such as agents, photographers and managers, can be predatorial. The requests of models to be semi-nude or nude are regular. If your modelling agency signs you up for a nude shoot and you decline, the client could sue you for production costs. You must also subscribe to how your agency wants you to look because if you don't, they could drop you impacting your ability to get future gigs for months. Management fees which garnish your wages can also vary from 20%-75% depending on location/country. There is also no guarantee of payment, and it can be deferred for months. Talk about limited agency over your body coupled with financial exploitation.
Women are often propositioned for sex and, in some cases, doubled up as call girls to service wealthy business people from Europe to Asia. Some modelling agencies are fronts for prostitution. When models want to make money on the side, i.e. sell sex, they refer to this as image modelling. This isn't very talked about.
The industry attracts the insecure and systematically chips away at your confidence by indicating that you are never quite good enough (too big, too thin, too ethnic, not ethnic enough, too symmetrical, too asymmetrical, too high fashion, too commercial etc.). As
@Grigori Rasputin stated, you rarely ever become famous (from reality TV or modelling), and they chew you up to spit you out.
Of the few clips I have seen of Jawahir, she portrays herself as hedonistic (which is a running theme of the show and its contestants). I don't know if they are putting on for the masses or if they truly believe in this. Nonetheless, it's important to consider that hypersexuality can sometimes be a response to trauma.
