Renowned model Christy Turlington found herself wishing for invisibility, following an incident involving an old nude photograph and her son at a basketball game. The event, however, has not lessened her passion for her career, nor has it disrupted her philanthropic pursuits.
Photograph Incident
Turlington became the target of unwanted attention when an old nude photo from her modeling days was used to tease her son in the public setting of a basketball game. Although the photograph was from previous work, she did not dwell on embarrassment or regret. Instead, she chose to focus on her family and her work.
Modeling Career
Despite being a reserved individual who usually shies away from the spotlight, Turlington has had a successful modeling career that began in her teenage years. This unexpected incident did not deter her. She continues to find fulfillment in her work, viewing it not only as a job, but also as a significant part of her life.
She acknowledges the public's perception of her as an older model. Yet, she refuses to be pigeonholed as the representative of aging beauty. As she looks forward to the next half-decade and her approach to 60, she remains focused on her path and her future.
Dealing with Negativity
In response to the negative incident, Turlington took a proactive step and disabled comments on her Instagram account. This move was a clear attempt to shield herself and her loved ones from any potential harm or negativity brought about by her public persona.
Every Mom Counts
Alongside her work as a model, Turlington is the founder of the nonprofit organization Every Mom Counts. Her commitment to this cause is evident. The organization has assisted over 1.5 million mothers around the globe, providing them with safer pregnancies and birthing experiences. This work continues to be a significant and rewarding part of Turlington's life.
