It’s been nearly two decades since Tiffany Richardson joined “America’s Next Top Model,” and she’s now at the point where she barely thinks about her stint on the show at all. Speaking with BuzzFeed News in 2017, she made it clear that she has left modeling behind and is now working a 9-to-5 job in Miami, where she helps people with mental disabilities.
“It’s pretty cool, though, I’m not complaining about it,” she said of her life post-ANTM, but noting that it’s a shame that she didn’t get to capitalize on her internet fame. What grinds her gears, though, is when people remind her of all the things that could have been. “Every f***ing day somebody is coming up to me about this show and how I could’ve won and Tyra said this and it’s like, really? It’s been 10 years. Could y’all not?” she said. In a 2015 interview with About Entertainment she even noted that there was a time that she couldn’t go anywhere without being recognized. “I go to McDonald’s or Burger King and people are like, ‘I know you. You’re Tiffany!’ Some people love me and some people hate me.”

And while she noted that she’s now a “completely different person,” she still dabbles in modeling when she finds the time. “I’ve been doing a couple of different photo shoots, and it’s like a learning process too,” she shared. “And then I’m just getting my body fit … but I work, I live in the real world.”
