Embattled lingerie brand Victoria’s Secret has been at the center of several PR scandals of late, but its latest dustup involves a hit viral song made by TikTok singer Jax that calls out the company for body shaming. Victoria’s Secret CEO Amy Hauk published a letter praising Jax for her callouts, and insisting the lingerie giant wants to “advocate for all women.” Jax then responded to the open letter, saying in a TikTok video that the intent for the song, “was never to take down a brand. I’m just a songwriter. I sing about my truth and then I hope that people relate.” Lyrics from the song, “Victoria’s Secret,” include lines like “Cashing in on body issues / Selling skin and bones with big boobs / I know Victoria’s secret / She was made up by a dude.”
