Demelza the Bully
Unless you've been living under a rock, you have probably read a thing or two about Demelza Reveley, the Winner of Australia's Next Top Model 2008. Her appearance on the show was anything but flawless as we witnessed her being the Head of the Bully Mafia who ruthlessly attacked her fellow contestant, Alamela. This in turn stalled her career before it even began. The Australian Vogue editor, Kirstie Clements, didn't approve of the bullying and although she had to go ahead with an 8 page spread that was contractual, she stunned everyone by pulling Demelza from the cover. I probably would've done the same but it's not here where I have the issue. I keep reading articles about her horrible personality and alright, we all condone this type of behaviour but we keep forgetting that Demelza is only 16 years old and although this does not excuse her actions, can we at least wait until she's 18 before we crucify her? She is a teenager and she can learn from this. Why squash the caterpillar when it has the potential of becoming a beautiful butterfly?
