So yeah looking at responses VS is def taking the heat for Adriana being covered. Although it def seems to be Adriana's decision. Thats probably why she didn't even have a video. Yeah, I def think the reason Adriana been missing out on fashion is actually more related to her comfortableness
IDK what Adriana been up to lately but I hope she is getting her confidence 100% together. She is a wealthy woman with alot of access and usually will power to mold herself into however she wants to actually look like
well.Adriana's video was just released. She talked a lot
I still feel the way I do though. Especially since Adriana CLAIMS she is persisting with modeling. At this point I can't tell. And her lacking confidence is def still showing in that work. She hasn't been fierce like she usually is. She is avoiding fashion events... Its unclear if she still has been working out at the dogpound.... I also suspect thats why she doesn't show herself anymore/very inactive on social media and I think thats why her profile picture still what it is on social media as a reminder. But Cyan is about to be one, she needs to really be trying to get over this slump for good. I'm not sure if she is still trying to. Don't want to sound insensitive because postpartum issues (physical and mental) may last a good while and it IS tough. However, you gotta push through it and do all you can to overcome the problems that come along with it. From the outside looking in, it just doesn't seem like Adriana is doing what she needs to do to have the career she claims she still wants to have and to even be confident/comfortable with herself.
It seems like Adriana says one thing, but her actions aren't currently matching it. At this point I am confused on why she states she still wants to model and doesn't want to come across as retired. I love her, but to be brutally honest, I can't tell that she actually wants to still be a model right now.

She probably went on summer vacation and has relaxed quite a bit with both diet and exercise. She always does, well, almost all of us do, and it's normal. But she definitely, judging by the pics in the candids section, has put the weight back on. I mentioned it here at the time, it's not clear to me that Adriana still has within her the desire to be a model alive enough to go through all the sacrifice that this entails at her age. She doesn't need it financially and she has 3 young children that she has to take care of (especially Cyan), plus two other young stepchildren that she also partially take care of. Combine that with a stricter diet and exercise than ever, because to stay in shape, she's going to have to work harder than ever. We know that Adriana gains weight more easily than other models and as the years go by, the more difficult it will be for her to lose weight or stay very fit.
Also, going back to VS, the new VS, is perfect for her in the sense that the new VS is supposedly more inclusive of different body types and older women. They are not going to require her to lose weight as they surely did in 2009 or 2012. And they will pay her very well because her name is still an important name.
In any case, I want to make it clear that, if so, it seems perfectly respectable and understandable to me. She already has her career made up of her and her life figured out. If she doesn't want to live on a diet 340 of the 365 days a year and go to the gym 5 days a week, it's understandable. That I prefer a fitter Adriana because I think that gaining weight changes her look much more than it does to other models when they gain weight? Yes, but time passes for everyone.

Listen.... I really am a fan of Adriana, always respected her and love her. And ya'll see my post here, i've been cutting her alot of slack and considering what she has going on in her life. But I don't agree with her basically just letting herself go/not trying her best to maintain while also still trying to pursue modelling. Where there is a will, there is a way. Enough time has passed to say this IMO. She can't afford to lack discipline this late, I feel because. 1. like you seen in those vegas pics, that lack of discipline causes her to gain weight and then she look like someone else that maybe some in the industry may not be fan of. 2.I don't think the industry outside of VS want that, not from models like her and her era. She shouldn’t let VS enable her. Especially since she appears uncomfortable while working like that anyway. It’s clear she really don’t like looking like that either. So her work isn't coming out as good. People want what they EXPECT from her. Which is confidence and to look more like herself, if she can help it. NOT talking about aging. This isn't an aging problem-her skin looks fine, its simply that bloat/weight on her face and how different it makes her face shape. So if she wants to continue to be successful and getting the jobs in the business like she claims, she gonna have to come tighter and be consistently fit AND confident. All of it is connected. She really gotta be doing her part. Its dumb for her to not do anything knowing she not comfortable like that and wants to still model. I don't think she is confident like this or comfortable, thats likely why she is so reclusive and don't attend much fashion events anymore IMO. Along with this, the work she is doing has not been as fierce lately and its probably because she doesn't feel the best. All of this is connected and its going to hinder her continued pursuit in modelling if she doesn't hit the ground running. Thats why I say she needs to just get it together. Adriana is a wealthy woman with access, she can do and afford ALOT of shit to better this situation and help her if she needs it- Unless she has an actual medical problem that she can't control. I don't think she does because she looked better in June/July anyway and this stuff just was not a problem until she got pregnant again.
I agree, she probably took another vacation and gained the weight back. But IMO now wasn't the time for that. Its okay when she falls off after 100% getting her body/looks back, but she was still in the process of getting back, so now she is taking steps back again. I just feel like someone should be telling her to get it together, because I feel like she still don't got it together

Hello everyone, I'm using a translator, I hope to be understood.
I've been reluctant to ask about this for a long time, but I'm really worried and, of course, curious.
About that crazy guy who chases Adriana in the comments, he's tireless, he acts like a real maniac raving about a relationship with Adriana. Could someone explain to me the origin of this, and if Adriana herself did something about it to protect herself?
I appreciate the responses and please, if this is a prohibited subject, let me know so I can delete the post.

Is he STILL bothering her? I believe adriana did take action but I don’t think anything fell through because he didn’t actually do anything besides like stalk her basically. Sadly the way it works in the united states is things have to go from bad to worse. Like he would have to go further than stalking to get him arrested. Like how miranda Kerr’s stalker got sentenced because he got violent with security and stuff, I think he shot or stab someone. So thats when the law really have these stalkers arrested. When they actually hurt someone basically. However, I don’t think he followed adriana to LA so there is that
What I am concerned is Is Adriana suffering from postpartum depression. Since giving birth, Adriana looks always lack confidence about her figure, just like she shares her activity photos less and less on social medias. I noticed in her latest ig post, at katy Perry's concert, when the camera panned to her, she refused to show up and blocked the camera with her hand....

That was Adriana recording and Valentina who she was trying to film and blocked the camera.

Yeah I know he tried to go to her Miami house but was stopped by security since it was a pretty secure area. I believe she tried to get police involved but yeah they aren't going to do much unless he really crosses a line like being on her property or assaulting her. From my understanding she has blocked him before but he just makes a new IG account to keep seeing her stuff and spamming her there.

Thanks for the answers!
It really is scary how he surrounds her, he must have dozens of profiles and whenever he is blocked or reported on one, he starts to act on the other. For a long time I observed that he tormented Ana Artic in the comments and even other friends of Adriana. Today Carla no longer accepts friend requests, but I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't already have an infiltrated profile as a follower to keep up with more personal updates about Adriana.
With the change, I hope he really won't be able to get physically close to her, even so it must be unbearable to live with this persecution.
Once again thanks for the feedback.
I'm so proud of her for her association with FIFA as a fan ambassador, that is something to be proud of for sure. However, i want to share some of my thoughts here. When she first announced this fan ambassador thing, i was expecting to see more active role, i thought she would participate to the events (FIFA Fan Fests) and organizations as a first ever fan ambassador. But all she did is sitting in the Gianni Infantino's private lounge during the games, she only did award thing on Thursday.
I don't know if it is because of her insecurities or if she felt unwelcome by the women's football community but Adriana made people right who are against to her role in FIFA by not participating anything.
I wasn't expecting her to spend a whole month in AUS/NZ but she literally did not show any effort. Many people in FIFA are against to her for some reasons and this organization was a chace for Adriana to prove them wrong by contributing to Women's football to get more attention it deserves.

i personally felt like the fifa thing took her time away from modeling or what she should have been doing for modeling. Therefore, I too am not fond of it
I really really hope this is Adriana’s last year working with them and the contract isn’t longer or renewed. This gave nothing for others to enjoy. Just money in adriana’s pocket and something to help andre out by putting his name on a project. So lets all hope she won’t be doing this anymore beyond this year. Because the fifa thing gave nothing really, but her being criticized for it. Besides the money, didn’t seem worth it from a fan POV. And I feel like the time used for it she could have been doing something for modeling instead
She followed a makeup artist from Venice today and i noticed Adrianass team is just arrived to Venice. Maybe she will attend to Venice Film Festival, that would be great.

Ugh not crazy about the idea. I hope its something else more productive for her modeling career. Because that is what her fans look forward to, because thats her job. We love her for her personality and things, but what we want to see her fully submerged in her field again. People actually enjoy her as a model and we neeedddd for that to come back lol
And its pretty early for her to be arriving. I was hoping she'd sit things out since there is a writers strike and I just feel like she hasn’t done anything recently that would benefit her modeling career. Not since the VS show which was in May/June.
Like really, avoiding fashion/modeling events (because lets be honest she keeps falling off on her upkeep and that def has influenced the way she navigates in the modelling world these days) but continuously going to film stuff instead, even during a strike? Dude, thats taking up time she could instead be using for modeling or atleast her youngest child. Because Isn’t Cyan’s FIRST birthday in like 2 days?????
Closing this thread indefinitely because it is beating the dead horse at this point. Please go out and touch some grass in the meantime and let the woman exist and live her life, and don't take this same old discussion to other threads, stay on topic.
Unlocking this thread with the hope that everyone will stick to the multiple warnings we've given. Feel free to discuss Adriana's professional work, appearances, upcoming projects, etc. Do not, start acting like you know her, discussing her private life, her mental health, her relationship, trash-talking her partner, etc.
Keep it civil, keep it light-hearted and if you truly feel the urge to give a TED Talk on how much you disagree with everything the woman does, please do get out and touch some grass instead of bringing it here.
Merry Christmas!
She has 17 million followers on IG. She was just at 16.9. She gained over 1 million followers on instagram within a month. Not even the jenners and kardashians are able to do that in today's climate, and they attention seek. Adriana is damn near hiding away and she growing followers faster than anyone thats actually more active and present.
Damn I wish she'd realize sooner than later how much of a true icon she really is. I think her being humble has prevented her from realizing it. I know the recent outrage may make it even harder to see. But the whole reason people even carried so much about her appearance is because she truly is an icon that people obviously can't get over. I noticed her name is not only synonymous with VS now, but with anyone woman people really love or find beautiful. I've never seen her name being used as a literal adjective so much until now lol. People keep saying a woman they are obsessed with is their "Adriana Lima" or others saying someone who is feeling themselves "thinks they are Adriana Lima". Clearly its a blessing and curse for so many people to think highly of Adriana all the time and to be so enthralled with her. Like everyone knows Adriana is obsessed over these days, everyone, even other models in the industry has noticed it/said it. It doesn't matter how much she tries to lay low, she still has people interested in her like its 2005 lol. I hope in 2024 that the actual fashion industry match that energy and she does more work.

It seems, she won’t show herself until she feels close to her usual self
6 hours ago, A.B said:It seems, she won’t show herself until she feels close to her usual self
I would hope that is the case, I really do. But IDK. Adriana is a pretty tough person to actually understand at times lol. Sometimes she does things and we never understand why. Like, her insistence on using MUA's like patrick after when he caused smaller but very similar outrage reactions for how he did her makeup before (just not on such a big scale like last time) and she still used him religiously. Also, he gave her a similar look to last time when this happened and we know Adriana saw the bad reactions to his work because she kinda responded:
And even if you go back to that post the comments were similar from hunger games, still.
Adriana shared what she did in that post because after using patrick, he did a look similar to the one from hunger games, except atleast her eyes were kept their normal size and obviously Adriana's face wasn't as heavy because she was very fit at the time, but it still drew similar reactions because of the makeup. So you'd think Adriana would have stopped using him so much or prevented him from doing similar looks on her then. She didn't. So yeah Adriana doesn't always move in the way it makes more sense for her to move sometimes.
So, I would not be surprised if she does look like her usual self the next time we see her but she still acts the same way. She is pretty unpredictable, especially these last few years. If you would have told me that 2023 would be the way it has been with her, I’m not sure if I would believe you lol

I hope you are right though. Adriana letting people see her pregnant, letting them see her post partum/with postpartum weight, AND letting patrick do her makeup like that are the biggest mistakes she has ever made in her career I am convinced. Because she is popular, people aren't letting up... I kinda wish Adriana would come out of hiding just to give people something else NEW to post and talk about because:
https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZT8XUbGnV/
They are bringing in 2024 by using her old post partum looks and them patrick ta bad makeup photos to make people call her ugly. Calling Adriana ugly is insane. The devil works hard but her haters work harder.
She really need to do something to stop this. I know she did an interview but it was german, and she still clearly had work left to do.. One event is not enough
But at the same time, obviously Adriana shouldn't be seen if she isn't looking closer to how people expect her to look. She can't keep coming out looking like she doesn't care anymore, if she does people will keep messing with her and saying cruel things. Its okay for Andre to be like that, but this situation shows Adriana can't afford that. This really have kids coming at her, hard. And it’s spreading a bad message. Thats why I always wondered if this would prevent her from getting more jobs/make it harder for her to get them, because people keep trying to make her have the reputation as "the model who turned ugly/fat", obviously I don't agree with that. But that is the picture people are trying hard to point and if she doesn't do anything to combat that, it could turn into what she is known for. Adriana’s silence and lack of activity makes this easier to happen
but Adriana shouldn’t make another appearance until she really looks the best she can. I despise anyone who advised her of anything in 2022-2023. so much bad could have been prevented if she had better guidance. I notice in the germany interview she admited that she realized society isn't that progressive to be kind towards women as they get older. The pressure is only added. But when she was pregnant she said the opposite and said thats why she is "exposing" herself like this and going to all those unnecessary film premieres. Smh this is the result of her being sadly mistaken and idk who lied and told her society was progressive enough and that she should give these people room to talk about her the way they have.
