she has described herself as the first supermodel. One of the most successful models throughout the 1970s and 1980s, she expanded her profession to reality television in 2003 by judging for four cycles on America's Next Top Model.
Dickinson has been open about the emotional and physical abuse she suffered as a child and teenager, and how her father used to sexually abuse one of her sisters. Of her childhood with her "rageoholic pedophile" of a father, Dickinson stated, "Because I wouldn't give in and let him have sex with me!"
ost people our age (we're really, really young, by the way) know Janice Dickinson as the synthetic, loudmouth judge of America's Next Top Model,
and a handful of other reality shows where desperate celebrities go to
die. But once upon a time, during something old people like to call "the
'80s," Janice Dickinson was the toast of the fashion world. The
self-proclaimed "world's first supermodel" graced the covers of
legendary magazines Harper’s Bazaar, Vogue and Playboy and worked with elite designers Giorgio Armani, Gianni Versace and Calvin Klein Unfortunately, fashion has no room for the old and gray, and
Dickinson's fear of irrelevance has led her to an infamous, and
sometimes pathetic career as a reality TV stalwart. That being said,
we're still talking about her so she must be doing something right. When
was the last time anyone's mentioned Cheryl Tiegs anyway?
SEX APPEAL
Model Janice Dickinson Says Bill Cosby Sexually Assaulted Her!!
The allegations of sexual assault directed at comedian Bill Cosby continue to mount.
On Tuesday, supermodel Janice Dickinson joined more than a dozen other
women, saying Cosby sexually assaulted her in 1982. In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, Dickinson,
who is now 59, recounted how Cosby struck up what appeared to be a
professional relationship with her more than 30 years ago.
Dickinson says Cosby reached out to her during a trip to Bali and had her travel to Lake Tahoe, because he was performing there and wanted to offer her the job they had discussed as well as help her with a singing career. Dickinson says they had dinner in Lake Tahoe, and claims that he gave her a glass of red wine and a pill, which she asked for because she was menstruating and had stomach pains.
.
“The next morning I woke up, and I wasn't wearing my pajamas, and I remember before I passed out that I had been sexually assaulted by this man,” she tells ET. “... Before I woke up in the morning, the last thing I remember was Bill Cosby in a patchwork robe, dropping his robe and getting on top of me. And I remember a lot of pain. The next morning I remember waking up with my pajamas off and there was semen in between my legs."
Dickinson also told Entertainment Tonight she wrote about the assault in her 2002 autobiography No Lifeguard on Duty: The Accidental Life of the World's First Supermodel, but “when
she submitted a draft with her full story to HarperCollins, Cosby and
his lawyers pressured her and the publisher to remove the details.”
janice dickinson becomes the
WORLD'S FIRST SUPERMODEL
Well, not really. But at the height of her career, Janice Dickinson was one of the most sought after models in the world, and has appeared on the cover of Vogue 37 times. The whole "supermodel" thing is simply a case of Dickinson taking credit, where credit's not due. We all know that Twiggy was doing her thing back in the '60s. Sorry Janice, you were a couple decades too late.
hows she lookn now ??
