Alicia Machado
Alicia Machado was born Yoseph Alicia Machado in Maracay Venezuela 6 December 1976. Alicia comes from a wide background with her father Spanish as well as her mother who is of Cuban descent. She's been a prominent character in films, television as well as beauty contests throughout her life. Alicia Machado began her rise to the top of the list when at the age of 19, she was awarded the title Miss Venezuela representing Yaracuy. She was awarded Miss Universe 1996 one year after she was crowned Miss Venezuela. This made her four-time Venezuelan winner of the title. Her time during her time as Miss Universe, however, was not without controversy and negative attention from the media due to her weight gain during her tenure. Donald Trump, who owned the Miss Universe Organization at the time, publicly criticized her over her weight gain even calling her "Miss Piggy" and forcing her to work out in front of the media. This incident sparked a bitter dispute in between Alicia Trump as well as Donald Trump.
