Victoria’s Secret CEO Les Wexner’s close relationship with billionaire pedophile Jeffrey Epstein is set to be brought to light in a new documentary about the $7.5 billion lingerie brand’s speedy rise – and epic fall from grace.
A trailer for the upcoming Hulu docuseries, Victoria’s Secret: Angels and Demons, offers a glimpse into the ‘mysterious’ connection between the two billionaires, revealing just how much ‘access’ Epstein had to 84-year-old Wexner’s many companies, accounts, and trusts.
In fact, according to one of the experts featured in the series, ‘There wasn’t a part that company that Jeffrey Epstein didn’t have access to.’
The documentary – which is due to be released on July 14 – comes three years after Epstein died by suicide in jail, where he was awaiting his trial for charges of sex trafficking and conspiracy to traffic minors for sex, crimes that he is believed to have committed over a span of decades, including during the time when he was working with Wexner.
Wexner’s complex and bizarre relationship with Epstein has long been the source of much speculation and controversy, and ultimately prompted the L Brands CEO to step down from his role in 2020 following furious scrutiny about his connection to the sex offender.

Victoria’s Secret: Angels and Demons – which is due for release on July 14 – will explore Epstein’s control over Wexner and his brands, with one expert revealing in a trailer for the doc: ”There wasn’t a part that company that Epstein didn’t have access to’
The trailer for Victoria’s Secret: Angels And Demons opens at the height of the brand’s popularity.
‘Every celebrity wanted to be part of [the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show],’ one interview subject says in voiceover.
Another reveals that the company was a ‘7.5 billion dollar business’ at the time.
Wexner is introduced early in a short video clip as another interview subject says that he envisioned the store as ‘a lady’s paradise and had nothing to do with men,’ which gets a chuckle out of her.
Another guest contradicts his statement by bluntly calling the company, ‘T**s and glitz.’

Wexner is next described as a genius, and his connection to other popular mall staples is discussed, including Abercrombie & Fitch, Express and Bath & Body Works.
‘He was the guy who figured out how to make Americans shop shop shop,’ one speaker declares.
Attorney Gloria Allred makes an appearance to say there were a ‘number of red flags and so many questions’ about Wexner and the company.
Another on-screen interviewee mentions that the CEO is among the most secretive of billionaires.
The documentary’s trailer suggests that part of the mystery around Wexner was related to his financier Epstein, who was awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges at the time of his suicide in 2019.

One interview subject said it was not ‘surprising’ that Epstein would find himself surrounded by the beautiful models of Victoria’s secret, but another source says it was ‘unthinkable’ that Wexner would give Epstein power of attorney.
The trailer establishes how Epstein ingratiated himself among the wealthy and powerful by including photos and video clips of him at parties with former president Donald Trump and Prince Andrew, while his accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell, who was sentenced to 20 years in prison for sex trafficking just days ago, is also featured.
‘There wasn’t a part of Wexner’s company that Epstein didn’t have access to,’ one person interviewed claims.
Wexner subsequently claimed that Epstein had stolen more than $46 million of his fortune, the discovery of which allegedly caused him to cut ties with the pedophile in 2007.
The trailer turns toward the latter-day financial woes of Victoria’s Secret in its final moments.
Sales of the iconic brand declined in the mid-2010s, and Chief Marketing Officer Ed Razek stirred controversy in 2018 when he said that Victoria’s Secret would not include transgender or plus-size models in its fashion show ‘because the show is a fantasy.’

He resigned in 2019, and later that year the brand announced that it would no longer put on the fashion show.
Victoria’s Secret was ultimately sold to L Brands in 2020, with Wexner stepping down at the time as his company was engulfed in complaints of harassment and discrimination.
Since being sold, Victoria’s Secret has tried to rebrand itself with a more-diverse set of brand ambassadors, including tennis star Naomi Osaka, actress Priyanka Chopra and American soccer star Megan Rapinoe.
Last year, the company announced that it would be dropping its line of Angels, though some models continued their association with the brand.
The lingerie brand has since added plus-size mannequins to its stores to better model some of its items.
‘This is all a story that was meant to be hidden and stay hidden. And we were never supposed to see any of it,’ one interview subjects says ominously to cap off the trailer.
