ANTM[]
Cassandra was most known for quitting in the fourth episode. She became emotional during the makeovers in episode three, 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, Tyra was still not pleased with Cassandra's haircut as she wanted to make it even shorter. During the fashion victim photoshoot, she was scheduled to have another haircut, but she refused. Mr. Jay told her to the leave the set, and called Tyra on cell phone to notify her that Cassandra left the show.
Cassandra 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.
