I guess the Hillary campaign controls Wikipedia. The tech giants are united against Trump. They will do everything they can to rig this election.
Here is Alicia Machado’s current Wikipedia page:
Yoseph Alicia Machado Fajardo (Spanish pronunciation: [aˈlisja maˈtʃaðo]; who was born December 6, 1976, in Maracay) is a Venezuelan-born American actress, TV host, singer and beauty queen who won Miss Universe 1996. She was the fourth woman from Venezuela to be named Miss Universe.
Machado won the 1995 Miss Venezuela pageant entering Yaracuy and then the Miss Universe 1996 crown in Las Vegas. The runner-up, Jacqueline Aguilera, also won the Miss World 1995 crown, marking the second time that two Venezuelans from the same pageant won two world titles. Machado’s reign came as American businessman Donald Trump took ownership of the Miss Universe pageant.
During her reign as Miss Universe, Machado made headlines when it was reported that she gained too much weight and the Miss Universe Organization was considering replacing her with her runner-up, Taryn Mansell of Aruba. After winning the Miss Universe title in 1996, Machado announced that all she wanted to do was “eat, eat and eat”.[1] Machado retained her title. Trump called her “an eating machine”, generating controversy.[2] In 1998, she made her debut on the popular Venezuelan soap opera Samantha in the titular role. She won the Midia Award in Spain and the Ace award in New York City, as the new Actress of the Year. Following the success of Samantha she was called to star in Infierno en el Paraiso, another successful soap opera. In 1999 she released her debut album Alicia En El Pais De Las Maravillas. A second album was released in November 2007.[citation needed]
In 2001, she had a small role on the international soap opera Secreto de Amor. During 2004–2005, she pursued a career as a TV commercial model with particular success in promoting a dieting product. In 2005, Machado appeared on a Spanish reality show called La Granja de los famosos (“The Farm”). On February 19, 2006, Machado debuted on a Mexican reality show named Cantando Por Un Sueño (“Singing For A Dream”), a program in the line of the previous Bailando Por Un Sueño (“Dancing For A Dream”), in which the winner has the chance for a dream to come true. The show is very similar to Dancing with the Stars (U.S.) and ¡Más que baile! (formerly titled ¡Mira Quién Baila!) (“Look Who’s Dancing!”) (Spain).[citation needed]
Machado appeared in (and on the cover of) the February 2006 issue of Playboy magazine’s Mexican edition, becoming the only Miss Universe to pose nude for Playboy.[3] On September 9, 2012, she was one of ten competitors on the third season of Mira Quien Baila. On November 18, 2012, Alicia won 3rd place in the 3rd season of Univision’s dance competition Mira Quien Baila. In 2013, Machado stars as the protagonist of La Madame, a television serial produced by RTI Productions and RCN TV in Colombia. In February 2014, she joined Univision’s beauty pageant Nuestra Belleza Latina 2014 as a mentor where she coach the participants on how to succeed in the modeling and television industry.
Relationships
Machado once dated professional baseball player Bobby Abreu; the couple later split, calling off their engagement.[4][5]Political views
On November 24, 2010, BBC Mundo confirmed that Machado had to close her Twitter account after writing a tweet that called for “peace between the Chinas”, referring to North and South Korea.[6] Her gaffe unleashed a rush of insulting posts, prompting her to go offline. “I now have a lot of psychopaths on the account and it’s best I start another one, kisses,” she signed off, according to Venezuelan media.[7]Since June 2016 she has been publicly campaigning for the Hillary Clinton presidential campaign.[8][9]
In May 2016, Machado became a U.S. citizen.[10] She has spoken out many times against Donald Trump, who, during her year as Miss Universe, she claims called her “Miss Piggy” because she gained weight and “Miss Housekeeping” because of her Hispanic background.[2] Trump said: “She was impossible” and that “[s]he was the winner and you know, she gained a massive amount of weight and it was a real problem. We had a real problem. Not only that, her attitude, and we had a real problem with her.”[11]
Miss Universe Alicia Machado accused of threatening to kill judge in late ’90s
It turns out 1996 Miss Universe winner Alicia Machado, cited by Hillary Clinton in the first presidential debate as an example of Donald Trump’s mistreatment of women, has a complicated past.
Shortly after she won her crown in the late ’90s, a judge in Venezuela accused Machado of threatening to kill him after he indicted her then-boyfriend for attempted murder.
Machado threatened “to ruin my career as a judge and … kill me,” Judge Maximiliano Fuenmayor said at the time.
Her boyfriend, Juan Rafael Rodriguez Regetti, was accused of shooting and wounding his sister’s husband, who he blamed for his sister’s suicide.
Rodriguez was accused of shooting and wounding Francisco Antonio Sbert Mousko outside a church in Caracas where his wife — Rodriguez’s sister — was being eulogized.
Sbert reportedly suffered brain damage from the attack.
The victim’s family accused Machado of driving her boyfriend’s getaway car, but she denied any involvement and apparently was never indicted, due to lack of evidence.
Now a U.S. citizen, Machado told reporters Tuesday in a conference call arranged by Hillary Clinton’s campaign that her experience with Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump could “open eyes” in the election.
After the debate, Machado tweeted her thanks to Clinton, writing in Spanish: “Thanks Mrs. Hillary Clinton. Your respect for women and our differences makes you great. I’m with you.”
In June, Machado appeared at a news conference in Virginia held by immigrant advocacy groups to encourage Latino voters to support Clinton.
Machado says that when she gained weight after being crowned Miss Universe for 1996, Trump, who ran the pageant, labeled her “Miss Piggy.”
Asked about the exchange during an interview Tuesday with “Fox & Friends,” Trump said Machado was “the worst we ever had,” adding: “She gained a massive amount of weight. It was a real problem.”
After the debate, Clinton’s campaign quickly released a web video detailing Machado’s story, portraying her as a mortified pageant winner whom Trump called “fat” or “ugly” and who was blindsided by reporters Trump invited to watch her work out.
Sex on a reality TV show, a Playboy photo shoot, a threat to kill a judge and claims that a drug lord fathered her baby: Behind the Hillary Clinton campaigner ‘fat-shamed’ by Trump
Alicia Machado’s life has been turned upside down after Hillary Clinton used her to show Donald Trump’s sexism for ‘fat-shaming’ her in 1996
News reports in Spanish indicate that she fathered a child with a notorious Mexican drug kingpin, something she denies
The witness who testified about that relationship was killed by a hitman
Venezuelan judge accused her of threatening to kill him for charging her boyfriend with attempted murder in a case where she drove getaway car
Machado wouldn’t deny that on CNN Tuesday night: ‘I’m not a saint girl. … that happened 20 years ago’
She also appeared in a 2005 Spanish reality TV show, having sex with a fellow contestant on-camera while moaning: ‘What a tasty d***’ – while she was enggaed to Major League Baseball player Bobby Abreu
Shuttered her Twitter account in 2010 after wishing for ‘peace between the Chinas’ – mistaking China for North and South KoreaLess than 48 hours after she became a household name as Hillary Clinton’s newest high-profile backer, former Miss Universe Alicia Machado’s life has begun to unravel into a tangle of sex and violence that could give Clintonworld second thoughts about putting her under the spotlight.
Machado added an extended 15 minutes to her fame by claiming Donald Trump ridiculed her in 1996 – calling her ‘Miss Piggy’ and an ‘eating machine’ – after he bought the Miss Universe franchise and she added more than 40 pounds to her beauty queen frame as the title-holder.
But focus has snapped back to Machado’s own past, including a 2006 Mexican Playboy photo shoot that made her the only Miss Universe winner to pose in the buff, and a stint on a Spanish reality TV show where she was shown having sex on camera – while engaged to a Major League Baseball player.
More troubling is the story emerging about the paternity of Machado’s daughter Dinorah, born in 2008.
Univision reported in 2010 that Gerardo Álvarez-Vázquez, a drug kingpin linked to the infamous Sinaloa cartel, fathered the child.
And the police informant who first testified about the pair’s relationship was executed gangland-style in a Mexico City cafe months later in broad daylight.
Álvarez-Vázquez, nicknamed ‘El Indio’ or ‘El Chayán,’ was arrested in April of that year and charged with running the Beltrán-Leyva narco-trafficking cartel, a Sinaloa affiliate.
The U.S. government at the time considered him a fugitive, and offered a $2 million reward for his capture.
He was ‘responsible for facilitating communications between [cartel] hierarchy and Central and South American sources of supply for cocaine,’ the State Department writes.
‘Álvarez-Vázquez was also believed to be responsible for overseeing the … narcotics-related activities in multiple cities of Mexico and to be actively involved in major bulk crystal methamphetamine procurements. He coordinated the movement of illegal narcotics into the United States and overs[aw] the repatriation of narcotics-related proceeds.’
The Mexico City newspaper El Universal reported in 2010 that Vázquez had faced drug trafficking charges in California going back to 2007 – the year Machado became pregnant.
Reforma, another Mexico City newspaper, cited a police report on Vázquez’s arrest, reporting that he and four other drug lords attended Dinorah’s 2008 baptism.
They included cartel ‘chiefs’ Arturo and Héctor Beltrán, top lieutenant Edgar Valdés Villarreal and Colombian drug trafficker Harold Mauricio Ojeda.
Vázquez’s role in the drug cartel was to drum up business with other criminal gangs in Central and South America, Univision reported. He was also a reputed ‘sicario’ – a hitman.
The police shootout that resulted in his capture killed two other sicarios and resulted in the arrests of 18 more.
Machado issued a stinging denial – after Vázquez’s arrest – telling People in Spanish that she ‘did not have any relationship… with Mr. Jose Gerardo Alvarez Vazquez known by the nickname of “the Indian”.’
She said her daughter’s father was ‘a very respectable businessman’ named Rafael Hernandez Linares.’
But in the same statement Machado also claimed the story of drug lords attending her daughter’s christening could not be true because Dinorah had never been baptized – a highly unusual omission in 81-percent Catholic Mexico.Machado had already drawn unwanted attention, and compromised Clinton’s deployment of her as a campaign surrogate, when DailyMail.com republished news reports from 1998 describing her alleged involvement in an attempted murder in her native Venezuela.
Venezuelan judge Maximiliano Fuenmayor in 1998 publicly accused her of threatening to kill him for charging her then-boyfriend Juan Rodriguez Reggeti with attempted murder in a case where she was accused of being the getaway driver.
Machado insisted she wasn’t present at the funeral where shots rang out, offering two separate alibis. At first she claimed she was acting on the set of a TV show at the time, and later she said she was home sick.
Tuesday night on CNN, anchor Anderson Cooper asked her about the episode.
‘The judge in the case also said you had threatened to kill him after he indicted your boyfriend for the attempted murder.’ Cooper said. ‘I just want to give you a chance to address these reports.’
‘He can say whatever he wants to say. I don’t care,’ Machado said, referring to Trump as she waved her hand in defiance.
‘You know, I have my past. Of course. Everybody has. Everybody has a past. And I’m not a saint girl. But that is not the point now.’
Machado in the same breath called the accusation ‘wrong’ and said it ‘happened’ decades earlier.
‘That moment in Venezuela was wrong, was another speculation about my life, because I’m a really famous person in my country, because I’m an actress there, and in Mexico too,’ she said.
‘And he can use whatever he wants to use. The point is, that happened 20 years ago.’
Machado herself returned from obscurity to fame on the strength of complaints about something Trump said to her more than 20 years ago.
