Supermodels Who Have Reputations for Being Total Divas

Which supermodel divas have reputations for being difficult?

Sometimes being a model requires you to have a strong ego and pretty thick skin. How else can you look absolutely flawless while walking down the runway with the whole world watching? Being a totally fierce bitch can help you cope with the many doors that’ll slam in your face. It can also help you stand out in front of your competitors who are just as gorgeous as you are. But some models have allowed their egos to get the best of them. So, while most people focused on their hauntingly beautiful features and badass catwalk, behind the scenes, these supermodel divas are notoriously difficult to work with because of their attitudes. 

An Industry Full Of Divas

When you’re a model, you have to behave professionally. Because you’re not just representing yourself; you’re representing your agency and a lot of people with a lot of money. If you’re a bitchy diva who’s difficult to work with, you not only ruin your reputation, but also the reputations of the people giving you jobs. Soon enough, you might find yourself (and your career) lost in oblivion. It’s happened more than once…

Designer Isaac Mizrahi admitted that model Naomi Campbell was not easy to work with because you didn’t know if or when she was going to show up. If Campbell didn’t like the clothes she was being fitted for, she would send someone in advance to tell Mizrahi, “Oh, sorry, Naomi’s not coming.” Asides from being a total diva on set, she actually went ballistic on her poor maid who ended up suing her.

When she was drunk, (which happened a lot!) Lara loved slapping people because she thought it was funny, and she’d pick a fight with anyone to accomplish this. Just ask Dutch journalist Michou Basu, who saw her screaming violently about an outfit she didn’t like during a Hermes show in Paris. Then she stomped off and shouted “I can’t work like this!” Okaaay, queen. Settle.

The supermodel was hosting “America’s Got Talent” when she allegedly shook the shoulder and pulled the hair of a girl going by the name of Mary Doe on stage. Her parents, who were performing a song that celebrated motherhood, had also been humiliated by the judges and audience, so Mary’s parents sued producers for Mary’s emotional distress. But asides from being a total meanie to Mary, she’s known for being a total fake on set of “America’s Next Top Model.”
