On her Instagram account last January 18, she wrote, “Runaway Model is my memoir that takes you into my dysfunctional famiy life as a young girl to an adventurous independant teen trying to make it as a model, also sharing a tempestous relationship that almost killed me, and being agentless in NYC... to discovering my truth and worth through my healing journey. Sprinkled with plenty ‘90s moments that I wish hadn’t happened but all had a part that carved out the woman I am this day.”
