In the 2022 Hulu documentary Victoria’s Secret: Angels and Demons, director Matt Tyrnauer explores the deeply entwined relationship between billionaire Les Wexner and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Epstein served as Wexner’s financial manager and was granted sweeping power of attorney in 1991—giving him extensive control over Wexner’s assets. The series portrays how Epstein leveraged that influence to ingratiate himself into the fashion world and presumed modeling circles, sometimes falsely representing himself as a Victoria’s Secret recruiter. Wexner declined direct interviews; instead, he issued written denials, including claims that he was never aware of Epstein’s abuse, even though there were multiple early warning signs ignored by him and the company


The docuseries also makes a compelling case that Epstein’s association significantly tarnished the Victoria’s Secret brand. It draws direct lines from allegations—such as those from model Alicia Arden and artist Maria Farmer—that Epstein used the guise of modeling to exploit women, to the brand's eventual cultural decline amid #MeToo backlash and reputational damage. Although Wexner publicly framed the relationship as a misplaced trust that ended years before Epstein’s arrest, the documentary underscores how Epstein’s control and access may have facilitated his crimes—and how Wexner’s delayed distancing, combined with a failure to act on internal warnings, contributed to institutional complicity.
