Ms Macpherson, who two sons aged four and eight months, told The Sun: ‘There is sexual harassment that is being ignored and virtually condoned.‘I sell dresses and other clothing which I think is better marketed by being pictured worn.‘The eBay community’s answer to this is that because I use myself as my model that ‘I’m asking for it’ and ‘what do you expect’.’
