Kelle A. Jacob (born 1984) was a contestant on Cycle 3 of ANTM in 2004. She was the sixth girl eliminated and placed ninth.
ANTM[]
Kelle was infamous for making a comment about herself having a "Monkey mouth" in episode two in front of Tyra and all the girls, causing tension between her and all the other black models.
Kelle was also known for her ridiculously bad photos picked for judging, fan speculation being most likely due to the "monkey mouth" comment. She landed in the bottom two in episode three after trying to make an excuse that her beauty shot wasn't her best picked. She was saved over Julie. Her lee jeans photo in the next week was compared to a platypus, but she was only bottom three.
In episode five, she won the posing challenge, to the shock of Mr. Jay. She did poorly again at the disco shoot, and was bottom two again. She was once again saved over Jennipher, and she finally lost to Ann in episode six.

Behind the scenes[]
There were shots of her film in the episodes that most fans say were in fact better than her chosen photos, most notoriously the one up-close beauty shot with intensity in her eyes.[1][2][3]
Post-show[]
After the show, Kelle was in The Source Magazine in January/February 2005, and had a cover and spread on Eminence Magazine in September 2005.[4]
She now works as the senior manager of Global Partnership Initiatives for Estée Lauder.[5]
