Cinema, motherhood, scandal with Tyra Banks: what happened to the winners of “America’s Next Top Model”.

Published 7 months ago

Thanks to the show, which ran for many years in a row, Russian women learned a beautiful gait and the signature “smile with the eyes” of Tyra Banks. We envied the opportunity for American women to take part in a fashion show, but we had no idea how their lives changed after the command “Stop! Removed!

The show “America's Next Top Model” has become a separate chapter in the lives of girls from the CIS. The program was then broadcast by Muz-TV, and not by Yu, and the reality genre was one of the most popular and beloved (and the channel made it possible to enjoy such programs to the fullest almost all day long).

If you are fans of TMPA like us, then the names of top model Tyra Banks, professional photographer Nigel Barker, master of the walk Jay Alexander and plastic surgery victim (and former successful model) Janice Dickinson are not empty sounds for you. Surely, the mention of the main prizes of the show, which were heard in each episode: a contract with a modeling agency, a spread in a magazine and a contract for one hundred thousand dollars with a cosmetic brand, will also give you warm feelings in your chest.

Well, and most importantly, the girls who came from the American hinterlands for the casting and fought desperately for the title of winner of “America’s Next Top Model.” We think you probably had your own favorite and you remember very well at least one photo shoot or a story related to it. Go!

Adrianne Curry (season 1)

The winner of the season's opening show subsequently signed a contract with Wilhelmina Models and worked as a model for various magazines. She also had her own VH1 reality show, My Fair Brady, which focused on her life with husband Christopher Knight. Adrianne and Christopher eventually split in 2011, and she married Matthew Rhode in 2018.

Joanna House (season 2)

Joanna is considered an incredible beauty by modern standards. Moreover, the winner of the second season has not lost her attractiveness over the years and has not gained extra pounds. After reality, she signed a contract with IMG Models and worked a lot as a runway model. She has also appeared in many commercials for The CW and is active on social media.

Eva Marcille Pigford (season 3)

Eva was one of the brightest participants in the show, but her participation in the project was hardly smooth and confident. However, her bright appearance and desire to work as a model eventually helped her become the winner of the third season of the reality show. After filming ended, she received modeling contracts and minor roles on television. Ava was also a cast member of The Real Housewives of Atlanta (a popular US program) for three seasons.

Naima Mora (season 4)

Russian women perceived the girl’s appearance ambiguously - she had short hair, tall stature and a thin build. However, the jury considered these models perfect and made her the winner of the fourth season of the show. Naima has been signed to Ford Models, Basic Models and 301 Models Management and has been featured in print magazines for many years. She later studied music and was the lead singer of the bands Chewing Pics and Galaxy of Tar.

Caridy English (Season 7)

Caridi became the first blonde to win America's Next Top Model. She signed a $100,000 contract with CoverGirl Cosmetics and Elite Models, companies whose collaboration was a reward for the project. Since then, English has been involved in charity work as a representative of various organizations that support animal rights.

Jaslyn Gonzalez (season 8)

Many people liked these models of Latin American origin: she had the ideal height, parameters and facial features for a fashion model. This allowed Jasleen to shoot for magazines and walk at shows for collections of various brands. And most recently, the winner of “TMPA” took part in events on the Spanish channel “Yeah”. And note that over the years, the celebrity’s appearance and figure have undergone almost no changes.

Whitney Thompson (season 10)

Many remember the charming blonde Whitney, who differed from the other participants in her season in that she was... a plus-size model. And, as you already understand or remember, this did not stop her from appearing in swimsuits, open outfits, walking the catwalk and ultimately winning the show. The triumph allowed Whitney to appear on the covers of many magazines and become a model for brands such as Target, JC Penny and Forever 21. She is also an ambassador for the National Eating Disorders Association - she has turned her weight into a virtue and uses it to help other people.

Nicole Fox (season 13)

It is not surprising that a slender red-haired girl with pretty features became the winner of the American “Top Model”. By the way, this same good girl changed beyond recognition when photo shoots had sexual overtones or she had to strut down the catwalk with fire in her eyes - so don’t judge by the cover! Apparently, directors and filmmakers liked Nicole’s type, and she was approved for the role in “Ashley” and other films.

Lisa D'Amato (season 17)

Lisa was one of the most memorable and scandalous participants in the entire history of the project and starred in two of its seasons - 5 and 17 (but she was able to win only on the second try). The girl worked as a model for LA Models, Q Models and Nous Models. She has also appeared on reality television several times, namely Celebrity Rehab and Marriage Boot Camp. Lisa studied music and performed in California and Las Vegas with two albums. Much time has passed since then, and she got married and gave birth to two children.

However, more recently they heard about Lisa again: a few years after participating in the popular project, she accused Tyra Banks of specifically using the model’s childhood traumas to increase the ratings of “TMPA” (D’Amato was raped as a child, and as an adult she used drugs). However, the girl made a scandal right after the fifth season - after she was expelled due to her arrogant and conflictual behavior, she called the judges of the show manipulators and advised the girls to find a normal job and not go to a reality casting.
