She said:

‘I worked there for a little over a year,’

‘At the show there is a culture of competition. You are constantly reminded that the show is this behemoth, and it will be there with or without you.’

She said that working on the sets of the show reminded her of the 2006 film, The Devil Wears Prada. In this film, Meryl Streep plays a demanding and offensive senior.

It was, rumored that the movie was based on the behavior of Vogue editor Anna Wintour.

She added:

‘It’s kind of like The Devil Wears Prada. Everyone is trying to make it to the [end of a] year.

‘It’s just a badge of honor to have that and have it on your resume.’
