After winning top model, my agency (wilhelmina) HATED me. They were very angry at top model for dropping them from the show. I was the red-headed step model. Against the advice from people in the industry who WANTED me to make it, Wilhelmina would send me to places like AFRICA (which I am happy I went, but my show had not aired there. The market wasnt good.) I remember Janice Dickenson asking me why the fuck my agency would send me to any country other than the ones I could bank off whatever little level of fame I had. I should have went to Hong Kong, Singapore, France, etc) but instead they signed Elyse and sent her off to the very places that I was trying to go. It didn’t matter too much to me. I wasn’t mad at Elyse for being treated better than myself at our agency. Elyse and I met up for the last time in Los Angelos. I invited her to come to a party my then boyfriend (hubby) was taking me to. At said party, Chris and I discussed with Elyse how I was going to try to get the fuck out of my wilhelmina contract. Chris was appalled at how my career was being run, and knew I was in a bad deal. We discussed little things, how I planned to get out of my contract, how I was looking for new management, even what I was paid on the Surreal Life. Before we left the party, we made sure we got Elyse a gift bag, containing some nice crap, and I-river(wanna be I-pod) etc. A few days later Elyse decided to write a blog. In it she revealed how much I was paid for The Surreal Life, and even went as far to act completely ungrateful and snotty about the party we took her to and the free stuff we managed to get her. My feelings were incredibly hurt. I couldnt believe such personal information had been outed by someone I had trusted and considered a friend.

Then I got a call from Wilhelmina, claiming Elyse had waltzed into the agency telling everyone I was going to try to get the hell out of my contract.
