Super model Miranda gets her angel wings clipped

Super model Miranda gets her angel wings clipped

Aussie supermodel Miranda Kerr is no longer an angel.

The 30-year-old’s $US1 million ($949,000) contract as a Victoria’s Secret angel has not been renewed, an industry insider tells Us Weekly.

The source claims that her “difficult reputation” is to blame, and says Miranda isn’t a big seller for the lingerie company in comparison to fellow angels Candice Swanepoel and Alessandra Ambrosio.

“They can still use her for catalogue, where she will get a day rate, but she doesn’t have to be an Angel to do that,” the source said.

Victoria’s Secret executives did not deny Miranda’s contract has not been renewed, but praised her as one of the most popular models.

“We have no plans to stop working with her,” the company’s chief marketing officer, Ed Razek, said in a statement.

“Any rumours to the contrary are simply untrue.

“While her international commitments have kept her away from us more than we’d like over the past few years, she will always be an Angel to me. We have no plans to stop working with her.”

Miranda recently announced that she was no longer an ambassador for David Jones, leaving the job after five years. She has been replaced with 27-year-old model Jessica Gomes.
