Early Life

Hadassah attended Clements High School in Texas. She was crowned Miss Sugar Land in 2013.

ANTM

Hadassah was best known as the main villain of the cycle, getting into fights with well over half of the cast. In auditions, she was one of the people Stefano wanted to go home first, because of her breast implants. Hadassah defended herself and Alexa. Later, she told everyone in a house meeting her beauty pageant queen lifestyle and how high maintenance she was. Lacey tried to distance herself from her because she didn't like her vibes, and the two got into an argument. She was the eighth model to survive the shipping container runway.

In episode four, she got into a fight with Devin for her high maintenance. At makeovers, she was given a side shave haircut. She broke down in tears and even contemplated to quit the show, but stayed after a talk with Yu Tsai. She had one of the weakest war veteran photos, but had a higher score than Stefano. She was in the bottom two again the next episode for her bad sportswear photo, but stayed over Dustin.

In episode six, Mamé entered the bathroom while she was taking a shower, and the two immediately got into an argument. The fight continued in the limo, which included Mamé comparing their pageant history and Hadassah calling her ghetto. She struggled in the possessed demon photoshoot, but the judges found a strong photo in the film, finally giving her a high call-out.

In episode nine, Bella, her only friend in the house, was upset because Hadassah didn't pick her for the go-see challenge. They got into a fight in the hot tub. Hadassah won second call-out for her strong dog photo. In episode ten, she called out Dustin during the Bootyful music video for acting unprofessional and flirting with the extra models. The two were later in the bottom two, with Hadassah's reason being she was too lady-like. She was once again saved over Dustin.

In episode twelve, she was upset because she felt the judges were giving special treatment to Lacey. She confronted Kelly Cutrone about this, with Kelly shutting her down completely. The two were in the bottom two that week, with Lacey being saved over her.
