MIRANDA Kerr was reportedly not fired as a Victoria's Secret Angel for "being difficult", but has chosen to step down because she couldn't devote enough time to the brand.
The New York Post reports that the lingerie brand was asking Kerr to devote three months a year to promoting their brand - time she doesn't have.
The 29-year-old Aussie already has a deal with Qantas and has just replaced Kate Moss as the face of Spanish fashion line Mango.
“While she loves Victoria’s Secret, the time commitment they needed from her as an Angel became too much for her to fulfill," a source told The Post's Page Six.
"Exactly the same thing happened with Gisele Bundchen and Heidi Klum — their careers became huge, and there were other opportunities which made being an Angel full-time impossible.
“Anyone who says otherwise about Miranda, it’s just sour grapes. She is still going to walk in the show this year, and is still committed to the brand, but their relationship is evolving.”
The Post also revealed their media insiders had speculated that the story of Kerr "being difficult" had been planted by those "with an axe to Grind".
Victoria’s Secret’s chief marketing officer Ed Razek was quick to defend her in a statement.
“Miranda Kerr is one of the best models in the history of the business — and easily one of the most popular. She is also a consummate professional. Any rumors to the contrary are simply untrue. We have no plans to stop working with her.”
Razek confirmed that Kerr will still walk the runway in the Victoria's Secret 2013 show.
