Alicia Machado

Alicia Machado, the beauty queen, actress and model, was born as Yoseph Alicia Machado Fajardo on December 6, 1976 at Maracay, Venezuela. Alicia is of mixed ancestry. The father of her was Spanish as was her mother Cuban. She is a prominent figure on beauty competitions and TV. The rise of Alicia Machado to stardom started when she was named Miss Venezuela in 1995 at 19 years old, from the country of Yaracuy. It was her crowning achievement one following year when she won the Miss Universe 1996 title, the fourth Venezuelan to win the coveted title. Her reign being Miss Universe, however, was fraught with controversy and negative attention from the media because of her weight gain throughout her time as Miss Universe. Donald Trump, who owned the Miss Universe Organization at the time, publicly ridiculed her for her weight gain, calling her "Miss Piggy" as well as making her do exercises in front of the media. The incident started a dispute with Alicia with Trump. Alicia Alicia Alicia
