A new BBC drama explores the kidnapping and media frenzy that occurred in 2017.
But how could this come about?
Her job, her age and her class all played a part in her mistreatment.
When she arrived though, she was kidnapped and drugged with ketamine by two masked men.
But how could this happen and why?
Why was Chloe Ayling kidnapped?
The fake Milan shoot was arranged after.
Why exactly the brothers choose this particular model isnt clear.
How did Chloe escape?
She became aware that ukasz was attracted to her.
Why did she shop with ukasz and hold his hand?
So the kindness was natural, but the romance was not.
Why did she lie to police about the trip?
Why did the press accuse her of lying about the kidnapping?
The short answer is sexism.
Chloes outfit was criticized, she was criticized because she didnt cry enough, or look upset enough.
In reality Chloe had been in Italy for several weeks before coming back to the UK.
She had already testified at a pre-trial and was happy to be back in her own country.
Chloe was in a damned if you do, damned if you dont situation.
She didnt want to be identified but her case was reported in the press.
What happened next?
Chloe published a book, which Georgia Lester read, inspiring the show.
Chloe appeared on Celebrity Big Brother, and was the second to be voted out that season.
