America's Next Top Model

Whitehhead was chosen to compete on the fifth cycle of UPN reality-television show America's Next Top Model, but quit the competition during the fourth episode.

Whitehead became emotional during the makeover episode, wherein her long, dark brown hair was cut extremely short and dyed blonde, in an attempt to create a look similar to that of actress Mia Farrow in the film Rosemary's baby.

During the next judging round, host Tyra Banks was still not pleased with Whitehead's haircut as she wanted to make it even shorter. During their next photo shoot, Whitehead was scheduled to have another haircut, but she refused. Whitehead claimed that the producers gave her one night to consider her options, following which she decided to walk out of the competition. She also claimed that she was unhappy at the way they attempted to change her attitude.

Whitehead was the first and only contestant (so far) to voluntarily leave the show.

Other TV appearances

Whitehead appeared on an episode of the Game Show Network show Lingo. On the show, she introduced herself as a beauty queen from Houston, Texas. This appearance was presumably before her participation in ANTM.
