Alicia Machado
Alicia Machado was born Yoseph Alicia Machado in Maracay Venezuela in the month of December 6th, 1976. Alicia comes from a diverse ethnic background. Her father is Spanish as well as her mother who is from Cuban descent. Her name is prominently featured in beauty pageants and television. Machado's meteoric rise to fame began when she was awarded Miss Venezuela in 1995 at 19 years old, representing the state of Yaracuy. Machado was crowned Miss Universe 1996 one year after being crowned Miss Venezuela. This made her the 4th Venezuelan winner of the title. The time she served as Miss Universe was marred by controversy and negative media attention due to her gaining weight in the course of her tenure. Donald Trump, the owner of the Miss Universe Organization, ridiculed her publicly about her weight loss, calling her Miss Piggy and demanding her to workout in front of the media. The incident ignited a feud that lasted for years in between Alicia Trump.
