Lots of body shaming that is dismissed as “normal” in the modeling industry, especially in episode 2

Referenced and described in a segment in episode 2. Then model had a survivor of gun violence and domestic violence, and later was forced to do a shoot to recreate a shooting where a woman dies with lots of blood.

Around 2 minutes, during the montage, there’s a scene where they pull out a blonde girl’s tooth. It happens right after the blonde girl says “Look at my teeth.”
It was incredibly triggering for me, as it showed it close up and there was blood. I had to look away for several minutes after seeing it.

Yes, with alcohol. Begins at the end of episode 1, and it is the opening segment in episode 2 with Shandi’s story.
The camera caught the act, and she is heavily victim blamed and berated for “cheating”.

Both very brief, like a second (both visual and audio, but kind of sounds like a cough + gag). 25:45ish, and then another about a minute later.
The section is about how the show is making women neglect their bodies. The segment ends at about 27 minutes.
S1E3 there is a shoot briefly shown called “Bullimic model” where a model has fake v*mit on her fingers and holds it up to the camera. Somewhere around 7:20 minutes in.
