Disgraced photographer Bruce Weber allegedly preyed on a certain type of male model, according to fashion insiders.

“There was a formula. It was male models from the Midwest, ages 18 to 26. He would never go after big models. He went after the ones who were naive and broke, so they couldn’t sue,” an insider told us.

Several models have spoken out, accusing the famed photog of touching them inappropriately and sexually harassing them on photo shoots.

Condé Nast cut ties with Weber and Mario Testino, who shot Vogue’s current Serena Williams cover, after the allegations came out, but insiders told us that bigwigs at the media giant must have been aware of his lust for young male models.

“It was an open secret. It’s no coincidence that they waited until after Serena’s Vogue cover to cut ties with them. They knew about these accusations,” another source claimed.

Weber’s lawyer and Condé Nast did not respond to requests for comment.

Weber previously said in a statement about the allegations, “I’m completely shocked and saddened by the outrageous claims being made against me, which I absolutely deny.”
