ANTM[]
In auditions, Bella threw a tantrum after Dallas broke her crown. She insisted that her bright blue eyes were real to the judges and models and not contacts, which caused mass skepticism. In episode two, she got into a fight with Devin for being too over the top and disrespectful. She was the tenth model to survive the shipping container runway.
In episode five, she got into a near-physical fight with Mikey in the middle of the night because he was moaning with Ashley near her bed. In episode six, the possessed photo that she took is considered to be one of the absolute worst photos in Top Model franchise history, with even the judges not taking it seriously. However, she avoided the bottom two due to trying.
In episode eight, she accidentally deleted the video for the Vine challenge, which caused her and her team of Courtney and Devin to get the lowest challenge score. Later, she did mediocre at the doll photoshoot, and was eliminated with Courtney in a double elimination. She refused to hug any of the other models at judging, and planned on vengeance. In episode nine, she was angry at Hadassah for not picking her at the go-see challenge, and being stuck with Devin. She booked none of the three go-sees. After the dog shoot, she got into a fight with Hadassah for being a fake friend. She placed fifth among the eliminated models that week.

Post-Show[]
Since the show, Bella was in the magazines Industry Born, HUF, and 360.[1] Her catalogue jobs were Moot New York and Om & Ah London.[2] She became a fashion writer for Contrast magazine, and one of the comedian commentators for the Fashion Police segments of Us Weekly magazine. She was also a coordinator for Warner Brothers Productions.
Personal Life[]
In October 26, 2015, she was driving at 3 a.m in the morning, making her way home from a late night after party when she accidentally fell asleep on the wheel and drifted into another car, and smashed her head into the windshield because she didn't have her seatbelt on. She received a concussion, facial abrasions and a shoulder injury, as well as having Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and temporary amnesia. She set up a GoFundMe to cover $30,000 in medical expenses, since she didn't have any health insurance.[3][4]
In March 2017, she was raped in a Paris nightclub, but cops discriminated against her on her race and sexuality. She was at Le Rouge nightclub on January 30 when she was assaulted by a man in a bathroom stall. She claims police conducted an incomplete rape testing immediately after the assault, and didn't get a proper rape kit until an advocacy group stepped in 72 hours later.[5][6][7]
On July of 2020, Bella announced her transition to female via Instagram.[8] In May 2021, she revealed that her blue eyes were fake and her real eye color was brown.[9]
