Beauty and the Creep (2021)

In the world of modeling, glamour and high fashion often take center stage, but behind the scenes lies a darker reality. Beauty and the Creep goes into this hidden side of the industry, exposing the ugly truth that many aspiring young models face.

The film focuses on Frenchman Gérald Marie, a super-agent who has tremendous power in shaping the careers of supermodels. His name might not be familiar to those outside the beauty industry, but for decades, he played a key role in deciding—or sabotaging—the futures of these iconic figures. Notably, he even married one of the most famous supermodels, Linda Evangelista.

However, a global investigation by 60 Minutes has revealed disturbing accusations against Gérald Marie. Former models have come forward, alleging that he was a predator who systematically abused and raped young women, including minors. These brave women are demanding accountability for his depravity, and it appears that French prosecutors are finally taking notice.

Beauty and the Creep sheds light on the dark underbelly of an industry that thrives on beauty, fame, and luxury, while also exposing the abuse of power that can occur behind closed doors. The documentary features undercover footage, interviews, and firsthand accounts, revealing the shocking reality faced by those who aspire to be part of the glamorous world of modeling.
