Fans ofAmerica’s Next Top Modellikely remember Cycle 13.
The season debuted in 2009 and featured women who are shorter than the average height for a model.
She evensnagged a roleas a model onThe Bold and the Beautifulin 2011!

However, Nicole didn’t always love everything that came with being crowned winner of the show.
She explained to Denver publicationWestwordthat being followed by cameras was especially difficult for her.
“But boy, was that false advertising.”

In 2012, she toldBeautylishthat the adjustment period was a little tough.
“Before the show I was always a wallflower in school and I was very shy, honestly.
“Sometimes putting on an extroverted personality for all those events felt like I was wearing different masks.
It didn’t always feel genuine and like me.”
These days, she goes by the name Nicole Abuhamada, and sheis also a mom.
Nicole has alsocontinued working as an actress, appearing in projects likeTagandCircus Kane.
