Christy Turlington is, unfortunately, dealing with some ruthless young kids who are using her career to bring down her child.

The 55-year-old supermodel told a story in an interview with Harper’s Bazaar about being at one of her son Finn’s high school basketball games and being horrified to see that the opposing side was using her naked pictures as a form of intimidation.

Christy Turlington is mom to daughter Grace, who is 20, and son Finn, whom she shares with husband Ed Burns.

Along with Linda Evangelista, Claudia Schiffer, and Cindy Crawford, Turlington was one of the most well-known supermodels of the 1990s. At the age of 26, she decided to give up modeling to concentrate on her studies at New York University. Modeling remained a job even after it was less of a priority when she completed her undergraduate degree. Turlington received her master’s degree from Columbia University when she was 39.

Just last year, she laughed during an interview when asked if her kids were aware of her modeling past.

“When they were both little, I didn’t really model very much,” she explained. “I still don’t. It’s pretty rare when I do. But my daughter, she knew I went to school, which she thought was hilarious because she would do homework and I would do homework. The fact that I could talk about ‘I have a test tomorrow’… she really liked that.”


Christy Turlington then relived a moment that turned into a “funny night” when her daughter saw her in full glam.
