Rachel Myers A.K.A. Blonde Rachel's recent departure from VH1's America's Most Smartest Model has generated a lot of controversy, mostly due to the fact that co-host and fashion expert Mary Alice Stephenson chose to send her off right after the sixth episode's runway challenge instead of the actual elimination round. Stephenson admitted that she did it to add drama to the show, and that she did not have any hard feelings toward the contestant.
However, the 27-year-old Blonde Rachel disagrees. She said that she was caught by surprise when she was asked to leave America 's Most Smartest Model, saying that Stephenson did not have the decency to wait for the right time to eliminate her.
"That's what surprised everybody including myself, the way she did it. It was like I was the most horrible person she had ever seen or experienced in her life," Blonde Rachel recalls. "I don't know what's wrong with her. I don't think it has anything to do with me, I think it has more to do with her insecurities. And the fact that she might be a little jealous that she wasn't hooking up with the young hunks."
Blonde Rachel added that Stephenson was insecure with her slim figure, as Stephenson often pointed out that she was anorexic.
"But I am naturally thin. I have always been this thin. I hope to stay this thin," she explained. "I have nothing but happiness towards my body? I don't think she ever liked me, I'm not quite sure why. I just think she wanted to be ultra-mean, and she did that by making rude comments and putting me up in front of everybody and giving me the boot out of nowhere."
Rachel added that she does not hate Stephenson, but rather considers her as a "bitter lady." She also admitted that she did not know Stephenson well, and that she has no intentions to do so.
"[Stephenson] is a very negative person," Rachel concluded.
