Inside the Reality Studio with Celia

The ANTM 12 contestant talks about being "old" and "ugly" and gives me dirt on the Tahlia incident, Tahlia's pregnancy and Natalie's scream-filled elimination.

[@doriangz]

Seven year later, still the best and most revealing interview about reality TV I have watched

[@hollywoodshopaholic]

She actually seems so chill in person, and much prettier and softer. I love how mature she was about the show screwing her over. Easily one of my favorite contestants now. Amazing, revealing interview!

[@AnaLuthor]

Celia is adorable, and despite saying 'like' every 5 seconds, she was one of the most eloquent contestants on the show. Her personality is very endearing, and I love her look.

[@mpacino1224]

hahahahahahaha

[@Janexcalibur]

She's wearing the earrings she won in Brazil :)

[@jennymedrano4588]

I personally liked Celia a lot more after the Tahlia incident because she made a decision and committed to it. She didn't hold back. She said she was going to do it, and she committed to the action. It was real, true, and she wasn't talking behind her back. I think the only bitchy people in the situation was Aminat and Teyona. I severely hated them afterwards. They were stupid.

[@peacendpola23]

S-T-U-P-I-D STUPID

[@jakemagadia07]

They should of put her in all-stars with allison

[@PrinceAlexandros]

Nice interview. I kinda felt sorry for her when she was eliminated on ANTM because she was 25 ?! Hellooo ?! She was already 25 when she got into the freaking competition !! Go Celia, Go !!

[@angiepangie2795]

This is the most 2009 video ever lol giving me nostalgia

[@JustinRolon]

I just saw celia at the soho prada store in Manhattan. I was freaking out so much! When i walked downstairs i saw a super tall blonde girl and i thought she looked like a model and then i saw her face and she smiled at me and my sister. I was in so much shock. I wish i had said hi.

[@preciouscommodity]

First and foremost, I love Celia! Whoever says that she's ugly, is stupid. So what if she spoke up. The girl is fab!

[@fiercefunky]

I wanna know way more about the screaming match between Tyra and Natalie!! Sooooo pissed they didn't show it on that episode.

[@AbdulLatif-qd8qn]

Is that Real ?

[@ronniethornton7350]

Stfu and mind ur business

[@Arcryoshi]

@@AbdulLatif-qd8qn It is

[@VanityEgo]

Aww I can't believe this is the first time I see this. Celia is easily my favourite ANTM contestant of all time and this interview really covers why I love her so much

[@laracroftvideos]

She was my favorite. I don't believe there's an age limit to being a high fashion and/or runway model as long as you look the part and Celia looked like a winner to me since day 1. What it is about America's Next Top Model always eliminating the girls that have that magnetic high fashion quality (e.g. Elyse, Anya, Leila, and Celia) I'll never understand. EVERY SEASON there's a girl that is consistently praised, wins challenges & rarely is in the bottom, but then gets eliminated. The winner is almost always underwhelming.

[@peacendpola23]

She still slays every outfit

[@blondie4love]

Now I like Celia way betterthan I did during the show.... And now that I know how muchbullshitting Tyra is doing, I kinda like the show less...... The whole thing is kinda cynnical

[@riverfallfall]

the earings she wears are the prize she won in the show (the dance competition which Aminat thought she would win)

[@Wellworm]

Celia is a sweetheart. She's gorgeous and eff the editing on this show.

[@SaraFruhling]

it was toootally not fair that she got eliminated instead of that amina chick :/

[@10123wow]

she's gorgeous

[@danielkhoatran]

tyra told her that "starting modeling at 25 is a no, no", i think it's an indeed thing. but tyra, she didn't start at 25, but long time ago.

[@kimberlytheunstoppable3653]

She would look so good with red hair!

[@Liliana-qi8rw]

If it were long straight and coppery red.

[@pb.j.1753]

2020: Still love this interview and Celia

[@crisspanda]

UGH i dont understand why they harped about her age so much!! krista who just won was like 24...and looked mid thirties

[@ronniethornton7350]

Stfu and stop hating

[@Thenic_verse]

i want to know what Natalie exactly said lol

[@ronniethornton7350]

Mind ur business

[@musica1784]

Ronnie Thornton omg shut the fuck up. you’re fucking annoying.

[@emergencyexit16]

I always liked Celia...there's something very comfortable about her...

[@shesjustbeinemily]

This is such a great interview. I want more details on that fight between Natalie and Tyra, though.

[@ronniethornton7350]

Mind ur business

[@joaopegado1742]

Check Aminat and Fo's behind the scenes tea video😉

[@roh7130]

​@@ronniethornton7350this is reality TV, are you kidding?

[@coldplayke]

I don't know if you guys noticed, but Celia says 'like really often. I counted 116 times

[@TheGgsan]

full respect of her. she do what she said she would n stand for it

[@familyguy410]

he really doesnt look 30...

[@nilla4me]

Cici! You were my favorite. I loved it when you called Thalia out. You stuck by your guns and for that you should be commended! Go go Celia! You and Allison were my favorites.

[@LauraDBM]

That was a fun interview. Celia was the best contestant by far. But like she said, it was tv. They had to make 'entertainment' out of it :P

[@SpiffyShindigs]

Love Celia. So much. I wanna know more about the Natalie/Tyra smackdown!

[@ronniethornton7350]

Mind ur business

[@musica1784]

Ronnie Thornton you’re a fucking idiot.

[@YoullNeverEverKnow]

I am SO excited for you that you got to meet her. She is absolutely amazing! This was a great interview; Thank you so much for posting this. (:

[@Jhg812]

3:33 to 4:03 is genius. (I like Tahlia even less now too.) Somehow, I like Celia even more than I already did. I didn't even know that was possible. I wish I could meet her...

[@Hellraiser0601]

Celia changed her last name and got involved in a lot of trouble in Mexico. She ran over a woman and became an alcoholic 😔. She goes by Lora as her last name.

[@melnichele]

not a fan of Teyona or Aminat

[@ronniethornton7350]

Do they care if you're lol stfu

[@ronniethornton7350]

Racist ass

[@kimberly11091]

@@ronniethornton7350 lmaooooo right? I love aminat and teyona

[@ralphfv]

i so wanted to see that nathalie fight. she seemed like a nice girl. and youre 30? wow. i wish i can be like you when i turn 30. (:

[@selina5598]

Wasn't Amanda from cycle 3 about 25 when she was on the show? In Japan they told her she was too old but they didn't make it a focal point when they criticised her

[@bornnnyc123]

She is so fabulous, beautiful, intelligent, honest, funny, and sweet in this interview

[@geekoftheweek27]

Okay, now that I've actually watched it, let me just say that she is quite possibly the coolest person ever. And why the hell didn't they show Natalie bitching out Tyra? Then my three favorite contestants would be from Cycle 12! CELIA, YOU RULE, GIRL.

[@taurusfroggy]

does anyone else besides me think it's HILARIOUS when Celia talks about how people said she looks like James Carville (who's AWESOME) and David Hyde Pierce?

[@sleepyat2am]

She's got a Hello Kitty ring... :P

[@jpgab93]

GAH! I LOVE YOU!!! You have the best personality of anybody on ANTM. LOL about her talking about Aminat.

[@taurusfroggy]

probably because it would have made Tyra look bad...God forbid LOL

[@icemage156]

I LOVE Celia and I think she's really beautiful. She seems really down to earth too and I'd want to be her and Alison's friend haha

[@matthieus2]

Thanks so much for this, Rich. Celia is great. I really want to know more about whar really went down at Natalie's elimination though.

[@jennac0re]

this was adorable. i really liked celia, and her hair. she needs to come over and do my hair! i'm a little sad winston didn't join you guys for this though haha i like to know whether or not people like cats, because i can't like them if they don't. yeah, i'm a huge fucking cat lady, but so are you.

[@landth78]

I loveeeeeeeee her

[@anThononyian]

rich looked so bored after a while LOL it was like he just wanted to dish into the crazier questions

[@tgghh22]

This interview was the best! I love celia even more/

[@laurenmeltzer7159]

Celia looks beautiful here.

[@tessadawn1212]

How do u know all the top model girls???????

[@esteebebe]

celia looks prettier here than i've ever seen her on antm! hmmm.

[@headstrong2592]

OMG i love Celia!!! she's so cool!

[@icemage156]

Celia rocks.

[@PetraFriedPresents]

She says "like" a lot but I still love her

[@a11wil]

DUDE celia is such a nice, sane girl. sigh that antm is such a strange show

[@Kimbahley]

When did you go from posting videos of your cat to hanging out with super models?! Either way, super entertaining. I can't imagine looking like her, being 26, and being considered either old or ugly.

[@mpacino1224]

Celia is no Super Model.

[@danyielsays4621]

Take a shot everytime she says "like"🤷🏻‍♂️

[@PeckerMumbles]

I love her laugh

[@Mulderitssme]

I like her so much better here . But Celia claiming Tyra asked them to reveal what was going on at the house? Maybe at some other point but not at that moment. 2:47

[@maicongphuc]

she's old but she can model!

[@jojococoa]

this was awesome.

[@Audisadora]

why do people think she's ugly?

[@postothes]

over here i actually like celia

[@ecctv]

LOVE her ring!!!

Ugh Teyona, so over her

[@ronniethornton7350]

Lol and

oh man i love her.

[@xpuffystaticx]

interview with Allison!!!!

[@taurusfroggy]

LMAO @ Grandma Moses

[@ericarapheal]

But I'm friends with Tahlia on facebook, and I took this quiz guessing "who's the republican", and I guessed Tahlia, and I was wrong...

[@somethinggood9267]

Shes republican. Explains why shes pregnant. Were u dropped on your head as a baby?

[@ericarapheal]

Don't worry Celia, before ANTM Cycle 12 aired, people didn't like your first picture, so they called you ugly and stuff. But now everyone likes you, and think your pretty, because you are :)

[@elphau]

did celia said natalie said "this is bullshit" during natalie's elimination? cause I didn't quite get her

[@Megan80]

But did she meet Winnie?!

[@geekoftheweek27]

OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@soushimiketsukami4731]

"Homosexual, Transexual, Loooove me"

she was 23 not 25..I know her mom

She was 25

[@MOKandRIFF]

fuckin' RAD! work it out Celia! Ugh, Thalia. What a fail.

[@mpacino1224]

That's nice. Be crappy to the burned girl.

[@sasha0990]

well ,maybe she is a wonderful person , deep inside( not sure) , but omg how scary she is ...lol

[@theVstop]

like like, like umm.. like, I mean like, you know, like?

[@mysweetiepie92]

@coldplayke I was thinking the same thing, she was saying "like" over 100 times. Lol but she's cool no doubt about it.

[@im_cold_blooded]

look like matt damon

[@taurusfroggy]

I know, how ridiculous

[@weegreeneyes3196]

Like, I like her and like after seeing this, I like... like her even more lol 😂 even though every other word is like 😝😋

[@KaMafo28]

I don't understand the whole "She's republican that's why she's pregnant" thing. I had a strong disliking for Tahlia, and I found that comment really unnecessary.

[@glittergrasshopper1144]

KaiM F i fully understand and i died laughing tbh

[@samthesnowman666]

lol

[@argelmontemayor]

hes cute, i wanna kiss him lol

[@AngiBowman]

Calm down? How? I wasn't even upset? I don't care if this is a formal, professional interview or a "chill" interview like this one. She's 25 - no 25 year old I know talks like that. It sounds like she's not yet ready to act her age. She sounded like a complete and utter teenage ditz.

[@AngiBowman]

It sounds too much like a middle school interview - dude looks bored through the majority of it. If she wants to perform, she needs to REALLY learn how to have a better speaking ability! Half the time she sound like a ditzy 15 year old!

[@peripari]

:) !

[@twinkate4]

I think Celia's a smart girl, but saying "like" aaaaall the time is really annoying... Tayra is a great model and she does not need that word to speak beautifully and funny.

[@anThononyian]

LOL. someone has a crush on you, rich! ;D rich is married. to a man, by the way. =p

[@HomewreckerHaHa]

She talks like a 16yo. Very immature sounding

[@glittergrasshopper1144]

HomewreckerHaHa shes a young girl talking like a young girl, relax
