Cassi Van Den Dungen

[makeitawful]

So glad she made some poor decisions. Still one of the most vulgar models I have ever come across. I'm glad all the money and effort these agencies were considering wasting on her was actually put to good use on more deserving girls.

omg @ the discarded balenciaga exclusive.. this girl!!!

 

[anisorfue]

we are not really complaining. my own way of saying she is such a waste. she could have been massive.

oh please
have you ever even met/worked with her?

(ftr, i've met cassi at fittings/shows, and she was nothing but nice.)

 

[lemeray]

WHAT a baby?!? I mean good for her but ugh a million girls would kill for her opportunity...

 

[fiqary]

Give her a break! She is still very young!

Btw, congrats on the baby! So happy for her. Love you Cassi!

 

[saucer-like]

I don't find the pregnancy surprising. She's made no bones about her priority being to settle down with her fiancé which is exactly what she's doing.

Exclusives fall through all the time and I wasn't under the impression that her outburst was the reason why it did, right? Although I was always curious about what other opportunities would have been available to her if she had kept her mouth shut, if not that season but the next.

But after all that, she still has been landing some great work in Australia and she gets to stay close to home which is what she wants. I don't think that this has to (or will) be the end of her career as she has no aspirations to work internationally.

[FONT=Verdana,Helvetica,Arial]Less than 24 hours after we reported that Cassi van den Dungen would not be appearing at next week’s Rosemount Australian Fashion Week because she is four months pregnant, there have been a couple of developments. Upon learning the real reason why van den Dungen was mysteriously unavailable for runway bookings this season, frockwriter can reveal that earlier today, Alex Perry attempted to fly her up to walk in his show tomorrow morning. Perry, who cast van den Dungen in his Cuban Princess show at last month’s Melbourne Fashion Festival (above) and spoke to her agent this morning, has been told that van den Dungen is in fact five months along. “She won’t open it, but we’ve used her in shows before and I think she’s a really beautiful girl” said Perry this morning. “She’s five months pregnant. She’s probably not showing much. But even if she is, she’s still beautiful. Miranda walked for Balenciaga and she was fully pregnant”. We won't be seeing van den Dungen tomorrow, however, because Perry's plans have been nixed by OK! magazine, which bought the exclusive rights to the pregnancy story and won't release her from a contract which precludes any public engagements until May 14th.

[FONT=Verdana,Helvetica,Arial]It's understandable that OK! wanted to protect its exclusive. However the magazine broke the story on Friday, the news is now in the public domain and OK! still has the only interview. [/FONT][FONT=Verdana,Helvetica,Arial]In it, van den Dungen says that she hopes her critics react positively to the news. "I need people's support" she tells OK!. Shame she can't take Perry up on the offer.[/FONT]

[FONT=Verdana,Helvetica,Arial]Perry, an Australia’s Next Top Model judge, has not always been so supportive of van den Dungen’s life choices.[/FONT]

[FONT=Verdana,Helvetica,Arial]As we reported back in 2009, the designer [/FONT]joined fellow ANTM judge Charlotte Dawson on Facebook to slam van den Dungen’s decision to turn down the Priscillas and Elite contracts after coming runnerup the Cycle 5 competition. [/FONT]

[FONT=Verdana,Helvetica,Arial]But apparently there are no hard feelings. [/FONT]

[FONT=Verdana,Helvetica,Arial]“She’s proved herself as far as I’m concerned" says Perry. "The Paris thing didn’t work out but that could just be an age thing. At 20 or 21 she might be a different girl. At the live [ANTM] finale, I said to her ‘I want you to be the one who wins’. She’s been in a relationship for three years. Who is anyone to judge?”[/FONT]

Oh so she sold her story to magazine, interesting.

I think most people know that it was her outbursts were the reason Paris did not work out and that she has not been back.

^It's not confirmed though is it? Maybe she had the outburst because Balenciaga fell though.

 

[Peachie]

^Her outburst? Yes it is on record, I am not looking it up, can not be bothered (just search the threads). And that pretty well is obviously why she left Paris.
What caused it, according to her, she did not like the French people.
And if it was because of Balenciaga, well many an exclusive have not panned out and models do not have outbursts like that.
But really we will probably never now why she did it or why she left Paris. Maybe in the story she is selling to the magazine, she will talk about it (I doubt it because it about the baby but who knows, it would be interesting and put all the speculation to rest).

 

[Hoother]

^No, I meant was it confirmed that the outburst was what caused Paris to fall through. I mean she could have had the outburst because it fell through, which would be understandable, but still unacceptable.

I read the interview today, some things I remember from it:

- pregnancy wasn't planned, but she is really excited and happy with the news
- marriage plans will be put on hold until after the baby is born and cassi's mum is back from the US
- she hopes to return to modelling in the future
- she might consider working internationally in 5 years, but not before then
- she will teach her children to never tolerate bullying
- she has quit smoking (didn't do it cold turkey, but cut down gradually)

 

[lemeray]

And we'll never hear from her again...her body might completely change and mentally I don't think she could cope being far away from home....I don't mean to be negative, I was really hoping for Cassi but ugh...

 

[chochom]

I agree! She couldn't stand leaving Australia without her boyfriend, so she certainly won't want to once she has kids!

 

[fiqary]

^She is still young. She might change her mind and become more mature after having the baby. We'll never know.

 

[kwonsm]

She looks like Kirsty Hume in #123

 

[lemeray]

That is true...having a baby can transform your personality and Cassi will learn that she needs to be more mature...perhaps she will learn the importance of trying to succeed in life and providing what is best for her new family...but it will definitely take 5 years now if she wants to become an international hit, she is very co-dependent...
