📖 The Scoop

A riveting tale of slavery, a torrent of drugs and alcohol, racism and a history of an intense, apocalyptic and ultimately fascinating and tragic world. Award-winning investigative author, Ian Halperin, went undercover as a model in New York and South Beach and has found the never-told story behind the outwardly glamorous supermodel industry. In "Shut Up and Smile" he traces the rise of many well-known super-models (including Cheryl Tiegs, Claudia Schiffer, Naomi Campbell, Christy Turlington, and Kirsty Hume) and the controversial obstacles they have to face along the way.

Halperin interviewed over 200 models, their close business and personal associates, and people in the fashion industry to get the inside story. He reveals how they are often misled, by their handlers, into a world of drugs, prostitution, violence, murder and never-ending, messy affairs. Halperin's probe exposes a disturbing pattern in which young women and men prove ill-equipped to handle their dizzying ascension to stardom at such a young age and eventually end up broke and outcast.
