Jade Chantel Cole (born June 19, 1979) is an American fashion and print model and former reality television personality.
Though her ambiguous ethnicity initially caused her annoyance when people questioned her about it, she learned to use it to her advantage in her modeling career.
[11] Cole stated that she had turned down America's Next Top Model cycle 17, "The All Stars", citing contract issues.
[We're] often persuaded to act in specific scripted ways by off-screen 'story editors' or 'segment television producers,' with the portrayal of events and speech manipulated and contrived to create an illusion of reality through direction and post-production editing techniques.
[1] Cole has partnered with Casa de Amparo, an organization that aims to treat and prevent child abuse and neglect.
