Alicia Machado
Alicia Machado is a beauty model, queen of the stage, and performer. Her birth name is Yoseph Alicia Machado at Maracay in Venezuela on December 6 1976. Alicia is of mixed blood. Her father was Spanish as was her mother Cuban. She's been a prominent player in television, film and beauty contests for the entirety of her existence. 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. One year later Machado became fourth Venezuelan woman to win the title of Miss Universe 1996. But her time as Miss Universe was marred by controversy and negative media attention because she gained weight during her term. Donald Trump, who owned the Miss Universe Organization at the time, publicly criticized her for her weight gain, saying she was "Miss Piggy" and requiring her to exercise before the press. The incident started a conflict among Alicia as well as Trump.
