This is apparently from her fan page:

I've been reading over forums for the past few hours I just want to make a few things clear starting from the start.....1) There was NO money involved with the contracts and I turned them down for better offers.....2) Brad was NOT the reason why I chose not go over sea's, I wasn't ready plus i had no tear sheets which you NEED for good work. Brad was the ONLY one who let me and encouraged me to make my own choice.......3) Paris- We were there for 2 1/2 weeks, exclusive promised then turned down on the 1st day of fashion week. It was not turned down because of brad they never met/saw him. 2 weeks after we came home they took me off I.M.G web page as there were to many job offers........4) Drake was not named after a rapper....I saw the name and the meaning when used as a name (dragon/serpent) told Brad and we fell in love its perfect........5) When it come to me going back to work yes I will. When? well when I am ready..........lost of all my weight........just to make it clear I just want to be at a healthy weight within my B.M.I
confused about anything else ask me don"t just assume.

I'm glad we got the whole paris debacle cleared up. I don't understand what she means about IMG, there were too many job offers in Australia??

I guess she means too many job offers in Europe. Jobs in Australia wouldn't have been a problem for her...

 

[radolgc]

always good to hear the news from the original sourse of information Thanks for posting this and I am happy she has job offers, this means there is a big modelling career ahead of her

Cassi is still with IMG by the way

Cassi van den Dungen Fan Page (posted yesterday)

Yes I am still with IMG. They took me off because to many clients wanted to book me 2 weeks after Brad and I were back in Aus from Paris.

She wants to go back to modeling in about a year.

I plan on being back at work by this time next year.

I'm really looking forward to see her back at work

There is an article (and more pictures I guess) in the recent Australian Women's Weekly.

Aww that poor baby, must be tough for her too. Although it looks like surgery has helped drastically cant wait to see more work soon

 

[Mea Culpa]

The difference after surgery is night and day... must've been scary - a cleft palate can make feeding difficult...

 

[Esperanza]

oh shivvers! that would be tough. Thank god the poor little guy is ok and had surgery! hope cassi goes back to work soon! ps hes a cute baby!

 

[visualoptimism]

so glad her baby is okay and the surgery went smoothly! can't wait to see her working, she has a wonderful look and i'm sure she will be flooded by work when she is ready.

I've always loved Cassi and I will always love her. I have more admiration for people who can give up material things for what they think will make them happier. Cassi has a beautiful soul and she has a wonderful and colourful life. She is the best thing that ever happened to AusNTM.

I really want her to go international, but if staying in Australia makes her happy then good for her.
