Today's Blind Items - From Hell
I was actually going to call this Model Mom From Hell or Mom From Hell but when I started thinking about it, I realized the whole package was from hell. This model used to be A list. The kind of model that walks the runway A list. If you met her at her peak of doing Vogue and runways and being in high fashion you would have disliked her. I'm not sure you would have hated her yet. That came a little later. Oh, and for sure you would hate her. I don't even like the word hate, but every time someone tries to find or point our a redeeming quality for this person it is immediately offset by a factor of ten.
When you get to a certain age, unless you are a super model, Vogue and runways start to slip away. Our model though had a very expensive lifestyle to maintain. Oh, she thought at first she would just retire and live quietly with a nice guy she met. That lasted about as long as it took for her to get pregnant and that love doesn't keep her in private jets. Buh bye to retired life and the quickie marriage. I'm still waiting for a day I run into her where she doesn't trash the guy. This is a guy who literally traveled around the world moving from country to country and then state to state to try and stay close to his child and our model kept moving and moving until he ran out of money and had to settle down and find a job. The money he burned through moving was the money she paid him when they split. She vowed to make him be broke. She did it and when he finally did run out of money she called him a deadbeat dad and made up as many stories about him as she could to those around her. None were true. None were ever talked about in court filings. These were simply lies she told to make herself feel better and to make him look like crap in the eyes of those close to her and her child. The child believes he is the devil at this point.
For years our model trashed models who didn't walk runways or do Vogue. If you did bikinis or lingerie you were trash. She wasn't shy about telling you. Behind your back or in your face she would cal other models trash or worse. Then, someone told her how much they made. She wanted a piece of that. So, she thought she would get rich quick. The problem was she was not the right body type. Hmm, how to fix that? New breasts, new face. She says she got that big from her baby. Umm, there was like a three year gap between the baby and her massive cup size increase. And how does a baby give you a facelift? Now she was ready. She got the jobs. It didn't stop her from trashing the people still. She ticked off every model she ever ran into. Told them they were worthless and that it was because she was high fashion she got the gigs. No, it was because she was also willing to do whatever it takes to get ahead. Anything.
Let me tell you about the time she met a long time boyfriend. He was probably A list at the time. He had a girlfriend. Our model met him at a party with the girlfriend. Our model spiked her drink. She passed out and our model f**ked the A lister. She then told the girlfriend she would kill her unless the girlfriend never came back. It took many years for the A lister to manage to escape her.
Did I tell you about the forced diets she made her child endure? Friends had to come from an approved list of families that our model wanted to know. One of those connections did get the model a year long television gig. A good television gig. She was so hated that filming of the reality show was sped up so no one would have to spend time with her for longer than necessary. If you find someone who has something nice to say about her, please let me know.
Janice Dickerson?
ReplyDeleteI want to say Stephanie Seymour but she has been married a few times and has about 1000 kids and did Victoria's Secrets. Janice Dickenson did a few reality shows over several seasons.
ReplyDeleteLinda Evangelista?
ReplyDeleteWait, she never did reality, NM.
ReplyDeleteThe diet stuff makes me think Carol Alt
ReplyDeleteNevermind, she doesnt have kids...
ReplyDeleteA timeline would be nice...90s or 00s??? Too many bitchy models who were once A
ReplyDeleteNikki Taylor?
ReplyDeleteMaybe Beverly Johnson...she was married and had one child who she lost in a custody battle when her husband alleged she was unfit. She regained custody when her daughter was 11 and they did a reality show in 2012 in an attempt to mend their "fragile relationship". Her ex-husband is dead, though, so I'm not sure that he fits with this whole scenario.
ReplyDeleteCan it possibly be Carla Bruni: kid's dad Raphaël Enthoven, major plastic surgery before becoming famous, one reality documentary...
ReplyDeleteMaybe Cheryl Tiegs?
ReplyDeleteCheryl Tiegs
ReplyDeleteChristie Brinkley and Billy Joel? Their daughter Alexa was rumored to have an eating disorder...
ReplyDeleteNo way. I know her socially. Very nice person.
ReplyDeleteShe has two kids.
ReplyDeleteI don't think it's Evangelista. She has one child by the billionaire. I would guess Seymour too but I don't think it's her either. She had a child by a musician before marrying the Connecticut rich guy but has also has done bikini/lingerie, etc. I also met her once while working and she was extremely nice to me, even though has sometimes had a rep as being otherwise. (As I've written before, I think that you can learn a lot about people through the way they treat 'the help') Anyway, this one has me stumped but I am going to think about it. Whoever this is, has to be from the 80s or 90s.
ReplyDeleteI thought of CB too but I don't think she did a lot of runway work did she? She was more in commercials, ads, SI, magazine covers back in the day. She DOES have a son by that Taubman dude who does not seem to be in the picture. This seems very much like her except that she did a lot of stuff in SI which seems contrary to the BI's assertions about this person's holier than thou attitude.
ReplyDeleteChristie was more of a print model than a runway model. And a super-successful print model at that. Cover Girl makeup I think. Doubt she needed anyone's money.
ReplyDeleteJust because she had her own money doesn't mean she didn't take as much as she could from Billy Joel. But for fun, how about Elle Macpherson...
ReplyDeleteNM, no daughter...
ReplyDeleteThis is 100% Carolyn Murphy, she started out as a high-fashion model and ended up getting a Sports Illustrated cover after getting breast implants. She still has a contract with Estee Lauder. I remember her ex-boyfriend saying she threatened to nickle and dime him into the ground over custody of their child.
ReplyDeleteWhen I think of crazy or nasty super models, Naomi Cambell and Janice Dickensen come to mind. I also think Christie Brinkley must have some issues being married so many times, but I don't think any of them fit this BI. What about Linda Evangelista?
ReplyDeleteThis article is very catty, but I think it's Carolyn - pay attention to the last half of the page:
ReplyDeletehttp://boycottsi.blogspot.ca
Her ex was so "nice" that he released a sex tape of them
ReplyDeleteAfter their divorce
ReplyDeleteNah, she wasn't runway exclusive
ReplyDeleteNot high fashion
ReplyDeleteThat's a good guess. She hosted one season of Project Runway All Stars.
ReplyDeletePlus she has worked steadily, and did a lot of runway, but wasn't really a "super."
ReplyDeleteShe's commercial-- never high fashion
ReplyDeleteShe's commercial & not high fashion. She's been a New Yorker for ever--- not move around
ReplyDeleteCarolyn was the second generation of "supers"
ReplyDeleteIt's Carolyn Murphy for sure. Never heard about spiking the girl's drink her style was more to promise a BJ in the car but I wouldn't put it past her.
ReplyDeleteCarolyn Murphy and her surfer ex
ReplyDeleteThe other model being Jessica Miller and her boyfriend Brandon Boyd from Incubus?!?
ReplyDeleteboycottsi.blogspot.com...Say NO to Carolyn Murphy(Feb.15th 2005)
sooo, +1 @ Fred84
ReplyDeleteDang. Basically fills in every blank of Enty's post. Carolyn Murphy is a succubus.
ReplyDeleteoops @KCK, sorry i reposted your site 2 hours later..I agree w/you & Fred84 et al.
ReplyDeleteThis fits, 100%. Although I have never seen, nor heard of her, the narrative fits.
ReplyDeleteBruni also hounded Mick Jagger like a stalker for years when he was with Jerry Hall.
ReplyDeleteExcept Murphy doesn't have implants. I just saw a recent topless photo shoot. Very small breasts. And still rail thin

Did Christy ever do reality?
ReplyDeleteHer daughter Dylan Blue is ever so slightly on the chubby side (not really for the child of a normal American, but for the child of a skinny former supermodel she'd be considered downright fat). Enty doesn't say whether the "diet" the mom imposed on the kid was (a) what she ate or (b) how much she ate but if the latter, Carolyn Murphy's daughter would probably fit the blind.
ReplyDeleteFantastic guess---everything fits---the show would be Project Runway All-Stars
ReplyDeleteJust imdb this biotch and she's from my hometown Panama City, FL. Honestly never heard of her until today.
ReplyDeleteDefinite no. She comes from extreme wealth and has always lived in France. Plus Enthoven is a well established person too. She quit modeling and has been a famous singer in France for years. Jagger chased her, she never chases men. More of a hit & run type. I think I know who this is, I just have to dig a bit. I forgot her name. I think she is a Brit.
ReplyDeleteKate Moss has tons of firends
ReplyDeleteInteresting that her daughter Dylan, who is 15 and presumably in her custody, doesn't feature at all in her Instagram. It's just full of vanity silhouettes of Murphy and her hydrangea collection....ugh, totally fits!
ReplyDeleteJust googled Carolyn Murphy. She certainly is stunning!
