Vanessa Williams is reflecting on a painful moment in her past. In a new interview, Williams - who was the first Black woman to win the title of Miss America - opened up about the nude photo scandal that rocked her world and eventually resulted in her resignation. 'There was a tremendous amount of onus, pressure, shame judgment,' she told People magazine. 'I took all that on as a 21-year-old. It was global. You can fail quietly, but that was a worldwide fail.
Williams, who is starring as Miranda Priestly – the role originated by Meryl Streep – in London’s upcoming musical adaptation of 'The Devil Wears Prada,' said her four adult children often wonder how she was able to overcome the traumatic events. 'They're all older than I was now, but the fact that I became famous at 20 years old relative to their lives and having death threats and having to go through breaking a huge hurdle and what the repercussions of that was,' she said.
