The modeling industry is full of critics, but the cover girl for Sport’s Illustrated Swimsuit’s 2012, Kate Upton, showed she can handle the competition and criticism with as much beauty as she exudes in her photos.  Recently, Victoria’s Secret casting director, Sophia Neophitou, said Upton would never walk down the catwalk for the famous lingerie company.  According to UsMagazine.com, Neophitou said that Upton was “like a Page 3 girl,” and added, “She’s like a footballer’s wife, with the too-blond hair and that kind of face that anyone with enough money can go out and buy.”  Even though the comments were harsh, Neophitou’s words didn’t seem to phase the model, and she politely responded to the slams by saying, “I’m doing fine in my career, I don’t need to walk down their runway so it’s all good.  She can think that, and I can think whatever I want about her.”
