What Happened To ANTM’s Amber?


For those of you who enjoyed the premiere of America’s Next Top Model (aka The Tyra Banks Ego Destroyin’ Hour) last night, you are probably wondering the same thing as we are. What happened to couture’ wearing for Jesus, “that was my catwalk, meow” stepping, grandma’s lucky floppy hat wearin’ Amber?

Jesus’ shortest cheerleader (this cycle of ANTM is only featuring girls under 5’7 in some sort of Tyra attempt to give validation to short girls who crave modeling careers despite that being sort of an oxymoron in the fashion industry) was the stand-out crazy last night. Amber, 18, was called down to join the final 14 at the end of the first hour of the CW’s top rated program despite giving off a serious need for Thorazine and a designer straight jacket (“No, Amber, you’ll be hugging yourself in this beautiful canvas top with straps for Jesus, sweetie! Just think of it as a fashion show except it’s in a locked psych ward!”).

But when Ty Ty’s Demeaning Fest commenced it’s second hour, the Oceanside, CA native was nowhere to be found. They even brought back a girl with horrific eyebrows (eyebrow threading is scary) who had been shown the door to take her place! Mr. Jay (you might know him better as the silver-haired, orange smeared gay Oompah Loompah who functions as Tyra’s “art director” for the photoshoot) told the gals that Amber had to bow out for “personal reasons.” What were those reasons?

The CW hasn’t released a statement as to why Amber was absent from the competition so suddenly.

The incredibly loony Amber was fully for Jesus, which she exhibited by howling his name every five seconds. Did Jesus come down from the heavens above and tell her to hold up on exploiting his name for a reality show? Even Jesus recognizes that the CW isn’t the most prestigious network. Either that, or Miss Amber got herself committed somehow. Probably for the best. Check the video above.

    Mental health intervention for sure. It’s obvious she wasn’t operating with both batteries.

  2. CiCi says:

    i was wondering what happened to her, myself. they seemed to avoid the topic altogether except to say “personal reasons,” so I’m guessing it’s not good.

  3. Lenore says:

    I’m guessing she was picked precisely because of the CRAZEH she would undoubtedly bring to the show; presumably, said CRAZEH overspilled a little behind the scenes, and given some of the crazy they’ve had previously on this show, it had to be bad.

    Haven’t seen this episode yet as it’s not airing yet in the UK, but even from these clips, that girl looks… unhealthy. Like, verge of a nervous explosion unhealthy. The kind of girl who’s all sweetness and light during the daytime, and shy and quiet, and then one night you go out with her and before you know it she’s downing a bar length’s worth of tequila, beating up the DJ, lapdancing on total strangers, stripping in the street and screaming for no reason at all, and all you can do is stare at her and wonder what the HELL she’s on.

    Which would have been the kind of meltdown ANTM loves, so she must have done something really exceptional to get removed.

  4. the original kate says:

    this show is making her more “lovinger”? that’s awesome.

  5. JayBee says:

    I’m wondering if maybe her version of Jesus and the sexual orientation of half the panel got into a tiff…

  6. KT says:

    Hmm…here I suspect “crazy” = “meth”

  7. Hieronymus Grex says:

    Who cares? I haven’t seen any of these ANTM girls after the show was over anyway. You’d think the ‘top model’ would be ubiquitous, her face would be everywhere.

  8. buenavissta says:

    I feel so normal now.

  9. lovehate says:

    METH FOR SURE

  10. Laura says:

    Who is this new writer, J. Harvey? I don’t think I’ve ever read a story by you? Are you new?

  11. J. Harvey says:

    Hiya – yeah, I’m new. I used to write for Socialite Life and Celebuzz and now I’m going to be bothering you people. Lucky you! 🙂

  12. Emily says:

    Whoever wrote this article is trying way too hard to be clever. Pseudo witty, overly bitchy, critical on all the wrong things. You write like a thirteen year old girl who’s trying to sound experienced.
    By the way, Lisa had stunning eyebrows. All professional models get threading, think of that because you denounce it.

  13. Firestarter says:

    Shoot, she’s not on meth. She is an extremely immature 18 year old trying to set herself apart from the pack. She is an idiot, but I have seen people IRL on meth, and they don’t act like that.

    She’s just young, dumb and trying to impress the judges with her bubbly personality. Epic failure, granted, but I don’t think she is on drugs. Maybe she needs to be.

  14. Silverbullet says:

    Yay J. Harvey! I missed you on Socialites Life, glad to see you here on Celebitchy. And yes, threaded eyebrows make one look a like a crazy crackhead!

  15. Tyra says:

    ANTM just became crazier… Probably all the girls in the house couldn’t live with her around. They probably realized she was really a psycho… PSYCHO!

  16. mags says:

    “i used to be a crazy girl…but now i just read my bible”
    -famous last words

  17. E says:

    There was nothing wrong with Lisa’s eyebrows- judging by the first episode this cycle is going to be pretty boring though.

  18. anonymous steve says:

    my girlfriend is a model in this cycle. she said amber was given the boot because of anorexia.

  19. anonymous steve says:

    Hieronymus Grex:

    the girls arent allowed to get modeling jobs until after the cycle is done airing, due to contract.

  20. OoooO says:

    i duon’t know. I feel like she has a mental illness, for sure!

  21. Stacy says:

    My favorite comment of hers was “THE ONLY MAN WHO SHOULD GIVE YOU THAT WARM BURNING FEELING IS JESUS!”

  22. belindaya says:

    “Warm burning feeling “???!!WTF??? sounds like a std to me …

  23. mu says:

    she doesn’t seem a single bit less crazy than any of the other people on that retarded shit fest of a show. LMAO

  24. Stephanie in Portland says:

    I think she is bipolar. She seemed manic and tangential (and downright crazy) during her exerpts. If it wasn’t mental illness, they would have kept her on the show, because she’d create crazy drama. I hope she’s getting help.

  25. Laughing says:

    I’m pretty sure she was a plant or got busted for her “wacko act.” Here’s her InstantCast profile — note that it’s in the Reality TV category and doesn’t mention “modeling for Jesus” anywhere. In fact, her only goal is to “BECOME A STAR”:

    http://www.instantcast.com/users/amberDEPACE

    Either that or she struggled with anorexia. She shows significant signs of malnourishment, and I’m not just saying that because she’s thin.

  26. justin hulk says:

    well, i know that this might sound a little weird but if you’ve watched the antm cycle 13 episode 1 & 2 there’s a moment where tyra asked Amber if she would even be happy in Jesus if she was not chosen in final 14 and her answer was yes. she would be happy for Jesus and she’ll still believe in him. I’m a christian myself i love Amber. I wish her all the best. but watching Antm 1-12 makes me realize that Tyra Banks picks out girls that “REALLY WANT THIS SO BAD” (BEING AMEERICA’S NEXT TOP MODEL) AND BEING PETITE IN THE MODELING WORLD.. THE GIRLS NEED TO WANT THIS SO.. SO.. SO.. BAD!!! REALLY REALLLY WANT TO BE ANTM…

  27. kellyville says:

    anorexia nervosa is the correct reason for Amber’s departure. her immersion into the disease was too far along to be fodder for the show and therefore was a liability instead.

  28. deidragiffin says:

    On another board, they were speculatying it was because she was caught smoking on the set and Tyra has zero tolerance for smoking. Although I do believe about the zero tolerance for smoking, I feel that would have stated that on the show rather than saying “personal reasons”. The girl definatly needed some serious help (whether it is anorexia, bi-polar, etc) and I do hope she is receiving help. Emily, I do have to disagree with you one one thing and agree with the writer of the article…Lisa’s eyebrows are verrrryyy scarrryy. EVen if threading is the in thing, they were still scary thinking Lilly Munster or Morticia Adams.

  29. adustum says:

    her model mayhem says otherwise, Laughing

    http://www.modelmayhem.com/1060000

  30. Fuzzygruf says:

    And the modelmayhem.com/10060000 site states that she is 5’8″. Did she lie for Jesus, too?

  31. Chels says:

    I would believe the anorexia thing because her modelmayhem profile says that she’s 95pounds!

    I bet she put her height on it as 5foot8 just to get more jobs.

    Drugs can explain her crazy attitude and her weight too though. I guess we have to wait until someone in the show lets some info slip.

    At the end- she needs some serious help.

    BTW: I don’t think the girl’s eyebrows were that terrible. Anyways crazy and freaky looks are good for modelling.

  32. Zhangy Tangy says:

    WHAT?! amber seemed totally normal, whats with the meth and anorexia?! Also, she wasn’t inexperienced and her bubbly personality is not fake!…at least i don’t think so…

  33. Daniel Fierro says:

    So… where is Amber today? What is her real name?

  34. Abby says:

    This girl who was supposedly friends with her said that she was caught smoking. A couple of cycles back, smoking was banned. She did seem really insane but the cycle would have been a lot offun with her on it. She’s psyco!!!

  35. scottishgirl says:

    Shes just plain nuts. I’m a Christian, and I personally think she gives Christians a bad name. We’re not all nuts like her, the overwhelming majority of us are normal, sane people! Shes just off the wall crazy. I personally would have to say it was mental illness.

  36. kate says:

    If it is smoking, then that’s totally OTT. What the heck has it got to do with Tyra if someone smokes? If this is the case, I think the power has gone to her head too much!! Surely by banning smoking at a high pressure time in the girls’ lives, it’s going to 1) make them more stressed and agitated 2) affect their concentration and 3) eat more snacks to compensate = gain weight = be criticised for that and overall 4) put the smoker at a disadvantage to the others because of the extra pressure they have on them. I’m not a smoker but my god, people make such a song and dance over the fact someone else decides to light up – mind your business!!!

  37. allison harvard says:

    I think she has a multiple personality/split personality. she probably entered the contest with one personality and made it, then switched back to her other personality and said “what am I doing here?!” and left, or she was being hypnotysed then came out of teh trance and said “what am I doinbg here?!” and lweft again!

  38. Winnie says:

    Thank God she left. With no disrespect whatsoever, I think listening to her going on about Jesus would have drove all the girls insane. She needs some serious medication.

  39. mary biniol says:

    ANTM would have been fun to watch if Amber didn’t drop out due to what ever reason..
    She has a very interesting personality, a bit crazy…
    Frankly her craziness makes me feel better about myself..
    I rather be plain than crazy…

    I am a christian and I feel worried when ever she open her mouth..
    talking about Jesus in a wierd way..

    Anyway where ever she is..I wish her well…she is not a bad person…her intention is good, why she even help to feed the homeless..

    God bless us all…

  40. Mara says:

    I bet it was someone trolling the castings really succesfully, and when she got in she told em: “Sorry it was all fake HAHA GOT YOU”
    And then she got kicked out.

    I refuse to believe she was REAL. Or I really need to re-adjust my view on the world’s sanity…

  41. Unknown says:

    I just think they changed their mind and wanted Lisa instead
