Two winners of popular television show The Netherlands’s Next Top Model may take legal action because their promised €75,000 earnings have not materialised, NRC.next reports on Monday.

The winners of the 2008 and 2009 edition say they have only earned a fraction of what was promised and have now been dumped by their agency – because their hips are larger than 90 cm.
Ananda Marchildon and Rosalinde Kikstra signed contracts with Modelmasters The Agency, which was set up for the show. The contracts state an ‘income of €75,000 is guaranteed’ but both women say they have earned around €10,000.

Marchildon is now taking legal action against the agency and Elite Model Management which took over their portfolios. Kikstra is considering joining the campaign, the NRC says.
Emails show the women were sidelined by Elite because their hips were larger than 90cm – despite tough diets and exercise.
Broadcaster RTL and the show’s producer Endemol say the conflict is nothing to do with them. ‘Our involvement stops when the winners sign a contract,’ a spokesman told the paper.
