Ebony Taylor was a contestant during Cycle 5 of ANTM.
Born Sylmar, California, Ebony Taylor was a student at Cleveland Humanities Magnet High School in Reseda, where her senior class voted her “Most Likely to be Seen on the Red Carpet.”
When Ebony made it to the finals of America’s Next Top Model Cycle 5, Ebony immediately became popular for her catch phrase, “Don’t Get It Twisted.” She was the youngest contestant in Cycle 5, and during makeover week, received hair extensions and braids from Tyra Banks. However, her new look didn’t exactly result in great pictures, and for this, Ebony was the second to be eliminated from the show.
After her brief stint in America’s Next Top Model, Cycle 5, Ebony went on to pursue her modeling career rigorously. Working under both Uber Model Management and Face Model Management, Ebony has had the opportunity to model for different fashion moguls in other countries like Australia and Hong Kong. She has also worked on the runway during several Fashion Week events, which featured collections from Uriel Sanez, A Friend of Mine Clothing, Candice Held, Sharagano and Antique Denim.
When she appeared on an episode of The Tyra Banks Show, she told the supermodel that she was sexually abused as a child, and that before her family (which consisted of Ebony, her mother and her four sisters) moved to Sylmar, they were living inside their car. She, at one time, worked as a spokesmodel for Italian and French clothing brands.
Today, Ebony continues to have test shots taken. She is also a singer/songwriter, though she has yet to be signed by a label.

I always liked Ebony, though she was not my favorite girl to win her cycle. It was Nik. However, when she was cut, I felt very bad. She REALLY wanted it. I am happy to see that she has pursued modeling after America’s Next Top Model. There are girls who were sent home and left it at that. Some did not want anything to do with modeling. Ebony is a TRUE soldier because she went on with it anyway. Good job, girl.
