Karen McDougal has hit the headlines recently as another woman that has been reportedly paid off to prevent her sharing details of an affair she had with President Trump. This has not stopped the story about Trump and the former Playboy model coming out, as was also the case with Stormy Daniels. Here are some facts about Karen McDougal that you may not know.
She Was An Athlete In High School
She competed as an athlete in high school and was also a cheerleader. She was a four time Michigan state champion as a clarinet player. She earned the nickname Barbie at school due to her good looks and this is something that she took with a good nature. She did not do much modelling when she was in high school and she was more focused on her music and sporting achievements. However, it was always something that people thought she had the potential for.
She Has Been Linked With Bruce Willis
Donald Trump is not the only famous face that she has been linked with. She was also reported to be dating Bruce Willis in 2008 but this romance only lasted a couple of months before the break up which seemed to be amicable. She has never married and has kept her private life fairly private. The fact that the relationship with Trump has been exposed is more to do with interest in him than her.
Her First Job Was Teaching
She worked as a prekindergarten teacher for two years before pursuing a career as a model. In order to qualify for this job she studied for two years as Ferris State University in Michigan. She was soon spotted by Playboy after leaving teaching and so it was a career move that paid off. She has had consistent work as a model all the way through her career and still does a lot of modelling for health and fitness magazines today.
She Has Starred In A Number Of Movies
She has also worked as an actress and has had cameo roles in some high profile movies. She had roles in the Charlie’s Angel movie and also Joe Dirt. She has also appeared in a number of reality shows including a turn as a guest judge in Wild On! In 2004 she appeared in WWE Diva Search where she was a contestant. Modelling and acting do tend to go hand in hand and it was perhaps not a huge surprise that this was an avenue that she chose to explore.
She Has Released A Range Of Merchandise
During her career as a Playboy model there were several pieces of merchandise released that fans could buy. Fans could buy a doll in the likeness of McDougal and she also released a swimsuit calendar in 2005. Merchandise has not played a huge role in her career in the same way as it has for other models. Today she writes pieces that feature in magazines rather than producing anything of her own and she is considered a valuable contributor by many publications.
