Tiffany Richardson is best known for being at the receiving end of Tyra Banks’ now infamous “we were all rooting for you” line<\/a> on ANTM, but what happened to her on the show and where is she now?<\/p>\n

Tiffany actually first applied for cycle three of ANTM, and made it to the semi-finalists group who would potentially make it onto the show.<\/p>\n

However, during a night out in West Hollywood, a group of woman started shouting at Tiffany and the other models, with Tiffany eventually ending up getting into a physical fight with them.<\/p>\n

The panel decided she wouldn’t make it onto cycle three but was later invited to audition for cycle four, telling the judges: “I went to my anger management class, and that really helped a lot. Everything in my life is happy.”<\/p>\n

During one of the cycle four tasks, models were asked to read from a teleporter with complicated names, and Tiffany eventually gave up and refused to continue.<\/p>\n

As such she was sent home in an elimination, but rather than crying, she told her co-stars: “Cheer up, waterheads. [What are you] lookin\u2019 all sad for?”<\/p>\n

However, this didn’t exactly go down well with Tyra, who then started her now infamous tirade against Tiffany.<\/p>\n

She yelled at her: “I\u2019m extremely disappointed in you. This is a joke to you. You\u2019ve been to anger management. You\u2019ve been through your grandmother getting her lights turned off so she can buy you a swimsuit for this competition. And you go over there, and you joke and you laugh?”<\/p>\n

Tiffany insisted that she was “hurt” by the elimination, but Tyra continued: “Be quiet, Tiffany! Stop it! I have never in my life yelled at a girl like this. When my mother yells like this, it\u2019s because she loves me. I was rooting for you. We were all rooting for you. How dare you! Learn something from this.”<\/p>\n

So, that’s the drama that happened to Tiffany Richardson whilst she was on ANTM, but what happened to her after she left and where is she now?<\/p>\n

Tiffany spoke about her son Chadrick during her time on ANTM, however in 2023 he very sadly passed away.<\/p>\n

The US Sun<\/a> reported at the time that he’d passed aged 21 after he reportedly grabbed $600 worth of Pokemon trading cards and booster packs from behind the counter of a GameStop, with the manager at the time firing a “warning shot” that accidentally hit Chadrick in the back and chest.<\/p>\n

Following her elimination from the show, Tiffany decided to step away from the world of modelling, saying: “I knew nothing about [modelling.] I was just in a whole new world. I was young and crazy. I didn\u2019t get it.<\/p>\n

“I still didn\u2019t take advantage of the situation like I should\u2019ve, but you know, you live and you learn. I can\u2019t regret that, because it made me who I am right now. And I needed all of that.”<\/p>\n

As of 2017 she was working at a group home for those who suffer from mental disabilities, saying that<\/a> she’s a “completely different person” because of her work.<\/p>\n
