In 2006, Bündchen was offered an extension on her offer for two more years. While making such a monumental decision, the model revealed in her memoir her real reasons for leaving. There were certain factors that the model had to consider while she made the decision. She had a slight issue with the way her modelling clothes made her feel uncomfortable. In her memoir, she said, “For the first five years, I felt comfortable modeling in lingerie, but as time went on, I felt less and less at ease being photographed walking the runway wearing just a bikini or a thong. Give me a tail, a cape, wings—please, anything to cover me up a little!”

She mentioned that this was something she felt more on the runway, in the public eye as compared to the studios. She maintained that the studio was always respectful of her wishes. In her memoir, this is stated as one of the reasons she had so much of a conflict deciding her future with Victoria’s Secret.

Ultimately, Bündchen decided to not sign and extend her contract with Victoria’s Secret. She felt that she wanted to go in a different direction with her work. However, there was no bad blood between the model and the brand. She also stated, “I was certainly grateful for the opportunity and the financial security the company had given me, but I was at a different place in my life, and I wasn’t sure I wanted to continue working there.” In her memoirs, Bündchen thanked the brand for the success it had given her and continued to talk about her life with Brady.
