EASY COME, EASY GO.
Axelle Despiegelaere, 17, was just a fan about to watch Belgium play Russia, one of many faces in the crowd two weeks ago in Brazil.
Then she had her photograph taken.
Suddenly, she was a L’Oreal model!

Then, this appeared: Axelle Despiegelaere was posing with a rifle and an oryx while on a hunting trip in Africa.
It turned out that she has been to Africa to hunt wild game.
As dailymail.co.uk reports, the hunting images posted on her Facebook page are not likely to sit well with those seeking to exploit her beauty . . .
Her public success may be short lived as now a photo has emerged of the teenager posing with a rifle and a dead animal in Africa.
‘Hunting is not a matter of life or death. It’s much more important than that,’ she said on her Facebook page reported The Sydney Morning Herald.
L’Oreal has not responded to the revelations, but it is keen to promote it’s image of animal welfare – in 2012 the company donated $1.2million to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to help improve the testing of safe chemicals.

As the image of Despiegelaere hunting in Africa spread, her adoring social media fans began to turn against her.
In response Despiegelaere responded on Facebook: “Hi, I didn’t mean to offend anyone … it was a joke. Thanks for understanding.”

Belgian World Cup beauty LOSES modelling contract over controversial photo
Snaps of Axelle Despiegelaere flooded the internet as hoards of social media users coveted her beauty – prompting French cosmetics company L’Oreal to make an approach for the 17-year-old during the summer transfer window.
However, a controversial photo posted by Axelle has seen her DROPPED before her modelling career had even begun.
Axelle set up a new Facebook page to promote her new career but L’Oreal didn’t take too kindly to one photograph she posted of herself proudly posing with a gazelle she had SHOT DEAD.
L’Oreal had already used her for a hair tutorial video but confirmed they would not be using her again.
“L’Oréal Professionnel Belgium collaborated with her on an ad hoc basis to produce a video for social media use in Belgium. The contract has now been completed,” they said in a brief statement.
