"So everyone has that problem, models have that problem, too"
About this Quote
The subtext is equal parts empathy and brand management. Klum’s entire public persona, especially through TV-era model celebrity (Project Runway, red carpets, backstage access), depends on “accessibility with a halo.” She needs to stay aspirational but not untouchable; glamorous but not alien. That “too” is doing heavy lifting, tacking her onto the end of “everyone” as proof she’s not exempt from the human condition. It’s a permission slip: if even a model deals with it, you’re allowed to stop treating it like a personal failure.
Contextually, it lands in a culture that sells perfection while pretending perfection is effortless. Models are marketed as solutions to other people’s problems (beauty, desire, status). Klum flips the script in one sentence: the solution has issues as well. It’s disarming, slightly funny in its understatement, and strategically humane - relatability deployed as a form of power.
