In 2017, 20-year-old British model Chloe Ayling (Nadia Parkes) was kidnapped after being invited to a fake photo shoot in Milan. After an unpaid ransom demand, she was released after six days despite threats to the contrary. She then had to deal with hostility in the rainbow press, which insinuated that she had deliberately taken part in the event in order to further her career. However, these accusations were never substantiated and two brothers were eventually convicted of the kidnapping.
