I remember the blow back which she had to suffer through and it was not at all a pretty thing

She is so beautiful 😍

Come on USA, there has to be more successful ghosts out there that made it and available to come forward whine, moan and groan how bad life has been -pick your PC woke agenda to fit.

She built her entire life on her physical attributes, what is she complaining about?

I will never forgive how that organization did not provide support to her as a young woman facing the media frenzy.

Vanessa Williams is the strongest woman I ever did see

is she airbrushed? or just cray?

Retweet

ZZZzzzz

Not everything is about color

They said the word!

Why on earth do you want to be woke progressive? 🤔 Its regressive identity politics and a disaster for Western society.

Blue eyes, straight nose, thinner lips.... Beauty 'Standards' are based on Aryan Features. When will be the Black people be celebrated for their blackness?

I know nothing about this race or that race, in fact , I think race should be as bad a word as any. But I know beautiful , wow, perfection right there

I mean everything is racist anymore with all these sensitive little crybabies on social media and in the real world

That was in the 80s! We have come along way since! And these thugs BLM & AntifaTerrorists are clueless!

Beautiful, talented & she does crossword puzzles.

You continue to fail the people by ommiting major news stories involvind a former US president of the US. We cant wait for you to go under. maybe you should re-apply to coding school.

Seriously What is black.. Because this present society seem to be colour blind. IS THAT A BLACK WOMAN.. HUH.. SO ANY CAUCASIAN WITH A TAN CAN NOW PASS AS BLACK?... IF SHE IS BLACK THEN I'M CAUCASIAN. BACKWARDS SOCIETY WE LIVE IN

such blue eyes though

Give us a BREAK. iF SHE IS BLACK THEN I AM GREEN!

I was called the hottest woman in the country! I'm so oppressed!

What a stupid article and assertions. Williams won the title. Great. She can't blame society for her former stupid BS. Another black woman took her place. Vanessa Williams made her own problems. That said, she's always seemed like a very nice woman. Not an unusual talent.

Vanessa Williams is a wonderful woman. My husband and I had the honor of assisting her at a big event in Columbus, OH. She was a hit with the audience and a delight to be with for hours.

Are we supposed to now pretend that those steamy and hot pics were never leaked? I broke into a sweat then and I just broke into a sweat recollecting.

WoW! I just can’t tell the difference between black and white anymore with all these negative views. They all look like humans. How shallow of me...

What?! She was the one who marketed her nude photos to Penthouse that were published during her reign and resigned. She made that decision to break the rules. Her runner up (also African American) took over her last two months. Don’t let Hollywood fakes twist their history 🤦🏻‍♀️

The ones trying to divide us are all about power and money, nothing else

🥰 Oof 😅 Madonn it’s Vannesa!

How can you work with the Sir Lawrence Oliver of the 80s (Arnold Schwarzenegger) and co,plain?

So we have a color VP candidate. WTFC

I still have the magazine...

Hello. You had a black president. You have black actors ,politians etc etc. Stop with this sh8t.

Nobody cared. She was the most qualified. It’s not about skin color. Never has been. You left wing terrorists trying to divide us are the ones to blame. The media is the real pandemic. You will be cured too.

IMHO VanessaWilliams is the most beautiful, classy woman I have ever seen! VanessaWilliams

She lost her title.
