Forsén stated in the 2019 documentary film Losing Lena, "I retired from modeling a long time ago. It's time I retired from tech, too... Let's commit to losing me.

She was a paid model, so I don't consider the usage unethical based on that. But I like this comment from a journal:

Lmao, they do have a point though!
