I have heard of that too... I am afraid that it will ruin her high fashion career.

The rumors are true. It was posted on ONTD_FF and a few other places.
She's in the video that's showcasing all of this year's models:

You can vote for her to be on the cover.
I'm not sure what to think of this...I really want her to have a successful high fashion career.

I'm thinking she's saying, "Show me the money!!!"....high fashion is fine but when it comes to dollars a lot of the models that don't hit the big time (as in campaigns) end up in debt and out after a few years. In this day and time it should be.....take the money and run!

Shreveport model among only 19 chosen for Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue
Posted by Susan Langenhennig, Fashion writer, The Times-Picayune February 10, 2009 12:01AM
Louisiana native Ariel Meredith will appear in the issue of Sports Illustrated hitting newsstands Feb. 10.
With Sports Illustrated's famed swimsuit issue hitting newsstands today (Feb. 10), the world is about to see a lot more of Louisiana native Ariel Meredith.
Meredith is one of 19 models frolicking in the surf in this year's edition. Her mocha skin shines in ample silver jewelry, a light dusting of sand and a barely-there bikini so hot it's certain to set fire to grocery checkout-line shelves.
The Shreveport native appears in two photos in the magazine. The pictorial earns her a coveted place in a small, elite sorority of SI swimsuit models. Fellow members of this sisterhood of the string bikini include Trya Banks, Heidi Klum, Cindy Crawford, Bar Refaeli, Brooklyn Decker and -- believe it or not -- a few women who actually play sports, Serena and Venus Williams among them.
In addition to the printed page, Sports Illustrated posts dozens of outtakes from the shoots on its Web site. Last year, the site got 500 million hits the first day the pics were posted.
This is serious exposure, and it's not a gig open to every model. Swimsuit models are thin but must have curves. Many of the women parading down runways today don't have bodies that look beautiful -- or healthy -- in skimpy bathing suits. Protruding rib bones and exposed clavicles are not the stuff of SI centerfolds.
"We need girls who aren't anorexic-looking and aren't only going to fit into size 0 runway clothes," said Diane Smith, senior editor of the issue.
These models also must have serious self confidence. Meredith is a 5-foot-10½-inch size-2, and nearly every inch of her is subject to public scrutiny in this spread.
Smith said Meredith had more than just beauty going for her.
"When I met Ariel, I thought she was unmistakably perfect for the swimsuit issue," Smith said. "We're always trying to push the limit, and we need girls who are really game adventurers, and Ariel has such a great attitude. I thought, here's someone who will jump on Mayan ruins."
Meredith flew to Mexico in October for the shoot near Tulum on the Mayan Riveria. The photographers, models and makeup artists set up shots on pristine beaches and icy blue lagoons, at tiny cantinas and nature preserves.
"It was great and I was willing to just dive in and try to get the best possible shots," said Meredith, reached by phone in New York between casting calls for Fashion Week, which opens Friday and ends Feb. 20.
For the biggest week in American fashion, she's already booked for the Nicole Miller show, and the rest of her schedule is filling up quickly.
Meredith showed up on Fashion Week's runways for the first time last fall. After walking for Vera Wang, Milly and Nicole Miller in New York in September, she was off to Europe, where she modeled in eight shows in Milan, including heavy hitters Dolce & Gabbana.
The designers loved her look, casting her in an ad campaign, which appears in the glossiest of glossies around the world.
Since then, her career has hit the accelerator. Meredith just flew back from the Maldives, where she was shooting a campaign for Swedish fast fashion company H&M. She's also recently posed for J.Crew and Ann Taylor Loft.
Not bad from the small-town girl from Shreveport.
On the phone, Meredith, not surprisingly, sounded tired.
"I'm just trying to have fun with it all," she said. "But now I have to go, I've got a casting."
