You may know her as the ethereal beauty that sashayed down the runway as one of Victoria’s Secret’s iconic angels. You may EVEN know her as the shining star of the iconic, straight to TV, 2000 film... “Life Size”. But at her most iconic, she is the host and face of America’s Next Top Model and brought 24 cycles of drama, challenges, ‘go-sees’, eliminations, controversial photoshoots and a whole variety of beautiful women into our living rooms throughout the 00s. So how and why exactly has someone that has all the credentials of a trailblazer been cancelled so vehemently by every corner of the internet?
