You wanna be on top?
Former “America’s Next Top Model” contestant Sarah Hartshorne revealed who the “meanest” judge was off-camera on the hit reality TV show.
“Definitely Twiggy,” she told Page Six Radio hosts Danny Murphy and Evan Real of the English model.
“In her defense, she worked as a model for a bajillion years in a very crazy, tough time and she was not taken seriously — and also that meant that her body got critiqued for so long that I don’t think it really registered to her necessarily,” Hartshorne added.
The retired plus-sized model shared that when she began her career on “ANTM,” Twiggy, whose real name is Dame Lesley Lawson DBE, said so many things to her that “devastated” her.
Hartshorne then listed some of the remarks that Twiggy, now 75, allegedly said to her.
“You know, ‘I’m very surprised that this is such a good photo because in person you’re actually not very attractive,’” she claimed Twiggy told her.
“And like, ‘I understand maybe why you felt self-conscious in that outfit because you did look rather like a ham,’” Hartshorne alleged she was told by the former “ANTM” judge.
Hartshorne said that if she were to be “called a ham” today, she would reply, “Thank you so much. Absolutely accurate.”
Page Six has reached out to Twiggy for comment but did not immediately hear back.
Hartshorne was a contestant on Cycle 9 of the interactive competition.
She was eliminated in episode eight because the judges thought she wasn’t secure with her body.
After the show, Hartshorne modeled for brands like Skechers and appeared in Glamour and Vogue magazines.
She is now working as a comedian, writer and content creator.
In November 2024, Hartshorne appeared on the “Dark Side of Reality TV” and talked about her negative experiences on the show.
