Tiffany Richardson was a contestant during Cycle 4 of ANTM.
Born in Miami, Florida, Tiffany was busy taking care of her young son at home during her stint on the show. She admits to having been abused as a child. As a deeply troubled teenager, she worked as a stripper and got involved with drugs and the wrong crowd. The birth of her son forced Tiffany to make life-changing decisions that would lead to a positive lifestyle.
Tiffany wanted to jumpstart her modeling career by joining Cycle 3 of America’s Next Top Model. After she was chosen to appear on the show, she had an altercation with one of the other contestants while they were at a bar. Consequently, Tiffany and the other contestant were disqualified. Realizing that she had to learn to control her temper, she decided to take anger management classes, and upon completing the course, tried out for the show again.
She was given a second chance and Tiffany found herself becoming a Finalist on America’s Next Top Model, Cycle 4. At first, Tiffany tried her best to get along with the other girls, and she was able to establish a close relationship with Brandy Rusher. However, as the weeks progressed and the pressure mounted, Tiffany slipped back to her old self, aggressively attacking the other girls verbally. During the sixth week of the finals, Tiffany broke down after failing to read a teleprompter properly in one of the challenges. Tyra expressed her disappointment, and ultimately Tiffany, along with Rebecca Epley, were eliminated (the double elimination was the first in the show’s history). When Tyra saw that Tiffany seemed to be taking the elimination lightheartedly and with little concern, the supermodel judge exploded in anger, saying that the only person Tiffany can blame for her failure is herself.
Since appearing on the show, Tiffany has continued to find work as a model. She was in two music videos, one for Dre’s, “Naomi,” and the other for Urban Mystic’s, “I Refuse.” She has also appeared on the cover of an International hair magazine. When Tiffany’s contract with America’s Next Top Model expired, Tyra Banks was seen criticizing Tiffany again when the E! True Hollywood Story: America’s Next Top Model was aired on national television.
Tiffany and her husband Chad have a 7-year-old son and 2-year-old daughter. She has continued to model, host events and make guest appearances frequently. She can be booked for events or modeling assignments at trulygr8ful@aol.com.

OMG, I’m so glad I googled YOU!!!
Tiffany, I just watched a re-run of your exit from ANTM and I knew what was coming because when it originally aired I watched it with my Mom and we were both in tears (over-whelming emotions empathizing with both you and Tyra). Tonight I’m glad to find out that you have a career and I hope that you are truly truly HAPPY! You have overcome so much, keep your head up and stay beautiful.
P.S.
I was watching tonight with my 10 y/o Daughter (3 episodes in a row) and she enjoyed watching YOU, she’s your biggest fan!

Dear Miss Tiffany, I am so happy that you are doing what you want to do. I love to watch ANTM; I love the show. I am a grandma too and I know it’s hard for young people to see how it’s an all new world for them. Thank you for being strong to help my grand babies to see they have a chance no matter where they came from. It just takes a willing mind. Thank you, again.

Haha! She’s got my horoscope sign … cancer! She also rocked that photo. I wish she could’ve made it further.

Tiffany, I am so happy that you found success after ANTM. You are a beautiful young woman. I’m glad your troubles are in the past. God bless you and your beautiful family.

Is it me, or does she look semi-chubby in some of her photos? I remember her being flippin skinny, like over the top skinny. hm, weird.

Yeah she had a baby, that’ll do it to ya. I’m sooooo glad she found success tho!! I was one of the ones pulling for her.

She’s okay. But she has that face where a different hair style really makes a difference. Some photos are really bad and it’s because of the hair and make up choices. She has to be careful with that.

Yes, she may have gained a little weight. Urban models are usually a little heavier than runway and high-fashion models.

Ugh! What was the point of her coming back and wanting to be the best and then just giving up! What a waste of space for someone else who wanted it more than her.
March 3, 2011 at 5:23 am
The point is she wanted to be better and live a life that others convinced her she could do. She did say the pain of humiliation was too much for her. She thought she had to fit in or not belong at all. Unfortunately, she gave up too soon, before finding out it’s all about personal growth. It does appear she may have grown up anyway. That’s good.

She looks to have gotten a boob job.
March 2, 2011 at 12:42 am
You are a very beautiful woman. I am so glad you didn’t give up.
March 2, 2011 at 7:01 am
Tiffany, I am so happy that you decided to not give up on your dream; you look beautiful in these pictures. Prepare yourself for many more blessings!!!
May 1, 2011 at 10:42 pm

I know the incident between you and Tyra happened a long long time ago but I never had the chance to tell you that I found Tyra to be way out of line. So maybe you had some attitude on some of the episodes but most of you do, however at that particular time when you were eliminated I did not find that you were laughing about it and not taking it seriously, I think that you were just finding a way to accept your elimination, telling people not to cry etc etc… you did nothing wrong and when I show people they all agree. I am 46 years old and a mother of 2 and I was shocked at how Tyra acted, I no longer looked at her with a positive attitude and it told me that she is not a very good judge of character. I am still trying to figure out exactly what it was you did that made it react like that. YOu accepted elimination with grace and good for you.
