Born Simone Thompson, Woods was raised by her grandmother after her mother was incarcerated when she was just 4 years old. She left Minneapolis, where she was born and raised, for LA, and by the time she met Stymest at 19, she was on a destructive path, embroiled in drugs with a stint in jail under her belt.
Ash begged his agent to fly out to meet me, and then after that I moved into a mansion. I lived with Ali [Kavoussi, Woods's agent] and his girlfriend, and he tried everything he possibly could to get what he thought my career should be off the ground. He tried music; he tried anything that he thought that I could be branded off of easily, whatever could get the ball rolling first. He convinced the agency to put me on the board without a contract.
When it comes to modeling, I'm really around so that I can ensure a spot for a girl that actually does dream of this, and she might just be four years old right now. I just remember watching 'America's Next Top Model,' and there was this girl that Tyra [Banks] convinced that her gap was ugly, and she needed to remove it. She didn't give her braces or Invisalign. She fucking removed every single one of her top row of teeth and put them closer together.
This is Victim v. Oppressor nonsense.!
