Alicia Machado
Alicia Machado, the beauty queen, actress and model, was born Yoseph Alicia Machado Fajardo on the 6th of December, 1976 located in Maracay, Venezuela. Alicia has a variety of family background, with her father Spanish, and her mother is from Cuban origin. Her name is prominently featured on beauty competitions and TV. Alicia Machado's rise to fame was first noticed when she won the title of Miss Venezuela in 1995 at just 19 representing the state of Yaracuy. It was her crowning achievement one year later when she took home the Miss Universe 1996 title, the fourth Venezuelan who has won the coveted title. Her reign as Miss Universe, however, was not without controversy and negative attention from the media because of her weight gain during her tenure. Donald Trump, who owned the Miss Universe Organization at the time, publicly criticized her regarding her weight gain calling her "Miss Piggy" and making her exercise with the media. The incident started a conflict with Alicia with Trump.
