Kate Upton voiced her religious beliefs in an interview this week.

Upton’s interview with Elle magazine gave readers a look into her frustrations with the modeling industry, as well as her religious beliefs. Upton says that during a photo shoot a joke was made about her being religious. After this someone involved in the shoot took away her cross necklace that her mother had bought her. Upton says she didn’t like being without a cross, which is what convinced the model to get a tattoo of a cross on her finger. Upton also doesn’t care for how she is treated in the industry, saying that “”People deal with models like they are children. They think they can pull one over on you.” During the interview, Upton denied that she was having any kind of relationship with Dancing With The Stars professional Maksim Chmerkovskiy.

Kate Upton’s modeling career took off when Time Warner’s (TWX) Sports Illustrated put her on the cover of its swimsuit issue last year.
