She announced her triumphant return to the lingerie brand on Monday, six years after her shocking departure in 2018.
Insiders claim she was forced to return for the brand’s first runway show since 2019 after being accused of airbrushing her face and looking “unrecognizable” at the Hunger Games premiere last year.
In addition to wanting to hit back at her haters, she was also eager to get back to a “job she’s loved forever.”
“Adriana has had to compromise on other things in life,” a source told DailyMail.com. But he missed doing the job he’s always loved.
‘He wants to show that he still has it. The criticism he received for his face was amazing and he wants to send a message to the haters with this comeback.”
Adriana shares daughters Valentina, 14, and Sienna, 12, with her ex-partner Marko Jaric, and has a son, Cyan, two, with her boyfriend Andre Lemmers.
According to the source, he hopes his return will also send a positive message to his children.
They added: “She wants to make an impact and show her children that you should never let haters have their day.” She’s excited to bring it.
“Plus, if she can give back to something that has treated her so well in the past, we’ll all win.”

Adriana first signed with the VS brand in 1999 and quickly earned her wings to become a coveted VS Angel the following year.
He then surprised his fans by announcing his retirement from the brand in November 2018 after almost two decades.
Just a year later, the fashion world was stunned when the annual VS show, which originated in 1995, was scrapped following backlash over claims it lacked body diversity.
