   > Ugly woke bitches.   
      
   In what appears to be another example of the get woke, go broke   
   phenomenon, Victoria Secret’s left-leaning CEO Amy Hauk has resigned after   
   less than a year in the role.   
      
   As the Blaze noted,  Hauk is known for having pursued several   
   controversial policies. That includes hiring actor and producer Darren   
   Barnet as the company’s first-ever male model actor and producer Darren   
   Barnet.   
      
   CEO says standards of beauty are “each individual’s to choose”   
   Barnet, who rose to fame in the Netflix series Never Have I Ever, spoke   
   about his role in a statement released by Victoria’s Secret this past   
   August.   
      
   The actor said he understood “how it feels to not fit in, and how   
   important it is to feel supported and accepted for who you are.”   
      
   “I love the work that PINK is doing – especially their focus on community   
   and mental health – so I’m really honored to be a part of this team,”   
   Barnet added.   
      
   Hauk spoke up as well, declaring she was “so excited to announce this   
   partnership because Darren is such a positive role model for teens and   
   young adults.”   
      
   “As we focus on expanding our gender-free offerings and continue to evolve   
   as a brand, we want to ensure our partners not only represent the   
   diversity of our customers, but also embody individuality and self-   
   confidence,” she insisted.   
      
   In another unusual move, Victoria’s Secret also hired TikTok influencer   
   Remi Bader to serve as a plus sized model, a fact it touted in another   
   statement.   
      
   “PINK has made a lot of strides over the years to be more inclusive and   
   focus on mental health, and I’m really honored to work with the team to   
   help young adults embrace their bodies and be an honest voice for the   
   amazing community I’ve built,” Bader said.   
      
   What’s more, the company abandoned its traditional “Angels” models even as   
   it hired men and larger statured women, with Huak insisting that standards   
   of beauty are “each individual’s to choose.”   
      
   Yet as the Blaze noted, customers appear to be less than enthusiastic   
   about Huak’s decisions, with CNN reporting that Victoria’s Secret is   
   projected to see a drop in sales of 7% this year.   
      
   Woke Disney films bomb   
   Victoria’s Secret is not alone in failing to see benefits from adopting a   
   woke stance as Fox News reported this week that Disney has had a similar   
   experience.   
      
   Examples included “Strange World” as well as the Toy Story franchise’s   
   “Lightyear,” with both animated features bombing at the box office.   
      
   The plot of “Strange World” focused on climate change and featured a gay   
   teen love story while “Lightyear” made headlines for a lesbian kiss.
