Good karma, finally.
Ambra Gutierrez, the Filipino-Italian model who made headlines after she accused Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein of assaulting her, is now a Victoria’s Secret model. She posted an Instagram photo last week wearing lingerie with the caption: “On set today @victoriassecret.”
She also confirmed her new modeling gig through an interview with Cosmopolitan Philippines which appeared on Friday.
In the interview, she said: “I feel like everything can be achieved with hard work, even the most crazy dream possible.” Her photos will appear on Victoria’s Secret’s website, though no date has been given.
Gutierrez also shared that she will soon start a podcast, where she said she’ll “interview people about their experiences and how they overcome difficulties so that they could help others.”
In 2015, Gutierrez reported Weinstein to the police for allegedly forcing himself on her at his office in New York City, according to The New York Times.
W Magazine accused several tabloids of misrepresenting Gutierrez after she reported the incident. This includes The New York Post which used the headline “Grope Beauty” to describe Gutierrez in their story.
Gutierrez reportedly told New York Daily News that she struggled to find work after her decision to report the incident and that she was treated as an outcast in some social circles.
The model was also linked to another controversy in 2010. Then known as Ambra Battilana, she was invited to one of former Italian prime minister Silvio Berlusconi’s “bunga bunga” sex parties.
She and another model named Chiara Danese demanded to leave after they were shocked by what they saw. Both of them decided to report the case to authorities after they were slandered and called “escorts” in their hometowns in Piedmont.
