Q

Q) Please explain the situation that happened between you and Hannah.

A) The situation with Hannah, I think honestly, was blown out of proportion. I never said Hannah was racist. That's one thing I'd never say. It all came around and it ended up looking like we were ganging up or that it was approached in that manner. Unfortunately, it wasn't really like that.

Q) Do you regret what you said to Elina?

A) With Elina, yeah, I apologize for the wording I used. If I could take back what I said in regard to calling her the "evil B-word..." I apologized to her about that and we've talked about it. Her and I are actually on good terms. Yeah, I am apologetic and kind of embarrassed for my family, my loves ones and everyone else who watched it because I shouldn't have said that.

Q) What was your reaction to learning about Isis being transgender?

A) My initial reaction, I was surprised because looking at Isis I would have never guessed that. I think that early on I had a very good understanding in knowing that this was a competition and whether you're transgender or not, you're still a competitor. That's exactly what she is, a fair competitor, and she's a very good person.

Q) Why were you so frustrated by the constant use of the word "pretty" when people described you?

A) I felt like I got that stigma about me and it kind of stuck. Everything was, "Oh, that's pretty" and "You're so pretty." Then, it was like, "We don't want pretty." So, I was trying to break out of that mold and I couldn't find it. It was just frustrating and I found myself continuously stuck in that kind of thing where people were saying, "Yeah, it's a pretty photo." I don't want a pretty photo. I want a fierce photo!

Q) Did you take Tyra's advice about studying European fashion magazines?

A) I did and it is helping. I'm practicing my poses. I'm practicing my looks, more than I should be.

Q) What did you learn from your experience on the show?

A) I saw myself as being more than just a pretty commercial face and from what I've taken from the judges and learned from Mr. Jay, Ms. Jay and Tyra, is that there isn't anything wrong with that. It's just that maybe I didn't have the face for high fashion.

Q) What does the future hold for you?

A) I can take my modeling career down a different path, in not necessarily high fashion, but maybe catalogs. Maybe catalogs will be my thing.
