In an interview with the magazine 'Pastaiga,' photographer Agnija Grigule, also known as the Latvian Marilyn Monroe, recounts a disturbing episode from her adolescence that may have spared her from a fate similar to the horrific stories associated with Jeffrey Epstein. Grigule recalls a casting event where a casual decline led to her not being involved with an agency that now carries an ominous reputation in retrospect.

Grigule shares her experience of being contracted with the modeling agency 'Vacatio' at the age of thirteen, which restricted her from participating in other castings. However, out of friendship, she was invited to a casting call for a different agency, but the details were shrouded in secrecy. Reflecting on her financial struggles as a teenager, she humorously mentions borrowing tight-fitting shoes from a friend that hindered her ability to walk properly during the audition.

Ultimately, the modeling agency's owner criticized her appearance, claiming she had thick legs, thus ending her casting experience prematurely. Grigule praises the serendipitous nature of this rejection, asserting that it potentially saved her from a sinister fate. This poignant anecdote highlights the dangers present in the modeling industry and underscores the importance of speaking out about personal experiences that intersect with broader societal issues.
