Michelle Deighton (born December 13, 1985) is a bisexual American fashion model, professional wrestler, and reality TV star. Michelle was a contestant on the fourth season (cycle) of the hit reality TV show America's Next Top Model. She was eliminated ninth, having made it to the final six; the judges continuously told her she developed some of the most beautiful pictures out of all the girls (the same was said of fellow contestants Kahlen Rondot and Brittany Brower, neither of whom won). Some say she was one of the most versatile and photogenic girls in the house. After taping began for the show, Michelle's hair was dyed from brunette to ice blonde on Tyra Banks' order, a change that was applauded by all the judges. Later on, Michelle developed impetigo, which led other girls in the house to start rumors about Michelle contracting a deadly, flesh-eating disease. Michelle was eliminated from the competition in Cape Town, Africa. Tyra Banks cited Michelle's seeming inability to cope with the high level of stress in the modeling world as the reason for eliminating her from the competition.
Michelle continued to pursue modeling after America's Next Top Model. She signed with the Geoffrey Chapman Modeling Agency. Her runway shows include: Clairol, Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week: Antik Denim Spring 2006, Meghan Spring 2006 (with supermodel Janice Dickinson), and Forplay's 1st Annual Halloween Couture Fashion Show 10/24/2005. Michelle appeared on the November 11, 2005 episode of WWE Friday Night SmackDown!. She was invited to the ring by Melina, who then proceeded to berate her - insulting her celebrity status and hometown of Terre Haute, Indiana. Michelle slapped Melina across the face, which got her choked and trapped in the corner, until the Mexicools made the save. Following that, Michelle and the Mexicools danced in the middle of the ring. Michelle has also made guest appearances on The Tyra Banks Show and the LOGO network's "Big Reality Weekend" special. She has also appeared with many other Top Model contestants at publicized UPN events.
