Belgian teenager Axelle Despiegelaere rocketed to fame when she was spotted cheering for Belgium in the World Cup, she even partnered with L'Oréal for a modeling gig. But all that came to an end thanks to her penchant for hunting.

Originally, the 17-year-old was elated to announce that she'd been offered a modeling contract, all because her image was seen during the World Cup.

She even posed for a video announcing the contract:

Buzzfeed got a hold of L'Oréal, who said that they'd dropped the teenager.

Axelle de Spiegelaere is not one of L'Oréal Professionnel's spokespeople. L'Oréal Professionnel Belgium collaborated with her on an ad hoc basis to produce a video for social media use in Belgium. This has now been produced.

This is far from the first case of trophy hunting photos inciting internet outrage -- just last week, teenage hunter Kendall Jones sent fury through the internet for her big game photos, and they were eventually removed by Facebook.
