Last week, Christopher Wetmore, 25, and Joseph Denormandie,20, were charged with felony conspiracy and drug sale charges, after selling about $2,500 worth of coke to an undercover cop from an apartment/drug den in Chelsea. Wetmore and Denormandie also happen to be male models repped by Re:Quest Model Management.
DeNormandie (who goes by Jack) was featured in i-D‘s September issue. The NY Post reports:
“Young men have a huge potential to change the world and make it a better place for everyone,” DeNormandie wrote in a September entry for his modeling agency’s blog accompanied by a photo of him sporting a tan Calvin Klein suit without a shirt.
Oops. Wetmore has appeared in GQ Style UK, W Magazine, and Vogue Hommes Japan among other publications and has walked in plenty of shows. He has an Instagram where he shows off his questionable tattoos and posts shit like this:
Honestly, my response to their involvement in this drug bust is along the lines of ‘yeah, sounds about right.’ Apparently their arrests are just part of a larger investigation, but it’s not like the fashion/modeling industry’s longstanding relationship with cocaine is much of a secret. Although a coke delivery service that uses male models as couriers? Replace the coke with fresh sushi, and sign me the fuck up.
