Who was Jael Strauss?

Jael Strauss was born on July 3, 1984, in Detroit, Michigan.

Jael was a contestant on America’s Next Top Model aged 22 in 2007.

She was signed to Otto Models after leaving the show and also had her own clothing line Hitch Couture.

But her life spiralled out of control after she appeared and she became a homeless addict.

When was she a contestant on America’s Next Top Model

Jael was a finalist in the eighth series of the popular show in 2007, which inspired Britain’s Next Top Model, before giving in to her addiction.

She came in sixth place.

In 2012, a public intervention by TV chat show host Dr Phil set Jael on the path to recovery.

Her family appeared on the show and explained that a six-year battle with narcotics had left Jael a “full-blown meth addict” and close to death.

She began working at a rehab centre in Austin, Texas, and this year she wrote: “Today I have 5 years sober. Good God! I know a few things to be true: Miracles are real. Recovery is possible for everyone no matter how far gone you think you are.’

“We are never too broken to be put back together. Service work feels better than the greatest high. Sobriety makes you weird not normal and I’d be dead if it weren’t for all the love and forgiveness I’ve been showered with by my friends and my family.

“Thank you to anyone that’s ever let me sponsor them. Thank you to my partner Cody Bear for showing me what real love is like. Thank you to all my beautiful family (blood and extended). Because of this gift I have no friends, only family. Love you all! Keep up the good fight.”

What was the cause of her death?

In October 2018 Jael announced in a Facebook post she had been diagnosed with “incurable” stage 4 breast cancer.

“It has aggressively spread throughout my body and is incurable,” she wrote.

“With treatment it may prolong my life longer than the ‘few months’ doctors said I could make it. I don’t want to die. I need another one of those miracles that I got back in 2013.”

But she decided to give up chemotherapy and on Thanksgiving went into a hospice, where she passed away at around 11am on Tuesday, December 4, 2018.

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.

Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”

Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”

SATC star Kim swears by gym sessions with Russian kettle bells (traditional cast-iron weights) and the South Beach Diet to give her the body she wants. To avoid overeating, Kim has a radical diet trick – squirting lemon juice on her leftovers – so she won’t carry on picking.

Kim says: “I am no super-thin Hollywood actress. I am built for men who like women to look like women.”
