Last year, Jessica Hart was quoted as saying that she thinks Taylor Swift is wanting as a Victoria's Secret Angel.
"I think, you know what, God bless her heart. I think she's great," she began, asquoted by Hollywood Life. "But, I don't know, to me, she didn't fit. I don't know if I should say that.
"I think what you find is that for a lot of us, we've been working for 14, 15 years; what it takes to make it here comes from experience and confidence and knowing how to be confident with yourself. I think that it comes with age. It's definitely the benchmark of all jobs," she went on to explain.
Her comments, however, were considered to be critical of Taylor, even though some has said the model was just "commenting on Taylor's quicker claim to fame than her model colleagues."
Could Jessica's diss be the reason she's absent at this year's Victoria's Secret Fashion Show? Or could it have been a displeased Taylor who made that happen?
"It's not been announced that Jessica is not walking, but it was a direct request from Taylor that this be the case if she were to go," a "well-placed Victoria's Secret insider" reportedly told New York Daily News. "No one can know that Taylor requested Ms. Hart not be in the show. They want to keep that under wraps, but that's the facts."
Woah, could these rumors be true? Could sweet Taylor pull off a move like that?
In the wake of Jessica's comments last year, VS' chief marketing officer Ed Razek said that rumors of the lingerie company firing the Aussie model over her remarks are not true.
"There is no truth to the rumours that Jessica Hart has been fired or that she will no longer work with the brand," he said, as quoted by MailOnline. "As you will see, she was a great part of our show and we look forward to continuing to work with her. As previously reported, we at Victoria's Secret and all those involved, including Jessica Hart, were thrilled to have Taylor be a part of the show."
Although Jessica has continued working with the lingerie company through the Body by Victoria line after she let fly those controversial comments, she has not been invited to walk at the annual Fashion Show, NY Daily News noted.
Despite this, the blonde-haired beauty expressed her support to the models who returned to the show.
"Throwback to this time last year.. Good luck to all the girlies tonight! Can't wait to see all your amazing outfits @victoriassecret @vspink have so much fun .. Love you ALL ! #vsfashionshow2014," the caption accompanying her latest Instagram post said.
