. . . because modeling lingerie doesn’t fit with her Christian beliefs:
One Victoria’s Secret angel might be turning her back on lingerie modeling but she’s not giving up her wings.
Model Kylie Bisutti, 21, has decided to leave Victoria’s Secret because it clashes with her Christian beliefs.
“My body should only be for my husband and it’s just a sacred thing,” Bisutti told FOX411′s Pop Tarts column. “I didn’t really want to be that kind of role model for younger girls because I had a lot of younger Christian girls that were looking up to me and then thinking that it was OK for them to walk around and show their bodies in lingerie to guys.”
Bisutti beat out 10,000 hopefuls in 2009 to win the Victoria’s Secret Model Search. She was 19 and recently married at the time.
“Victoria’s Secret was my absolutely biggest goal in life, and it was all I ever wanted career-wise. I actually loved it while I was there, it was so much fun and I had a blast. But the more I was modeling lingerie – and lingerie isn’t clothing – I just started becoming more uncomfortable with it because of my faith,” Bisutti told FOX411. “I’m Christian, and reading the Bible more, I was becoming more convicted about it.”
The rest here.
Good for her. We're all called to make sacrifices for the Faith, I'm glad she was able to make this one.

People's characters and beliefs are fairly malleable at ages 19-21, and perhaps maturity, direct experience with the industry, and growth in her faith have prompted her to reevaluate her career choice. It wouldn't be the first time that has happened.
Sometimes the cynical interpretation is the right one--and sometimes it isn't.

Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseIt would not surprise me that her husband's desires had a fair bit to do with this decision. When you're 19 the idea of having a hot wife who parades about in lingerie can be exciting. After watching untold numbers of men make passes at her it becomes a great deal less so.

Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseI think this girl is great! Good for her to figure things out so well when she is still young and not realize later after a lifetime of ugly mistakes. God bless her with a happy marriage and a good future!

Either way good on her...the fashion industry is one sick and twisted business.
