Wow -- talk about the damage that drugs can do. Former "America’s Next Top Model" finalist Jael Strauss is fighting an addiction to methamphetamine, her family tells Dr. Phil -- and you can't even tell she's the same person.



“Do the drugs get her and take her life? Or do we get her and save her life?" Dr. Phil asks in a promo for the show, which airs Thursday. Strauss, 28, finished in sixth place on the show in 2007. Her family says her addiction has rotted her teeth and left her body covered in sores, and they fear for her life. But when Dr. Phil tries to intervene, Jael runs off, leaving it unclear whether the TV doc will be able to help the young woman. Do you think he can?

    I agree with you. Nobody can save somebody else from an addiction. They can simply offer them the help. It is completely up to the addicted to make the decision to save themselves. And all of the pride in making it through belongs strictly to her because this addiction is something she will have to save herself from daily. So the victory of living a clean life is completely hers.

    "He" can't save her but he apparently sent her to one of the best rehab facilities. That being said I agree she has to save herself. I watched the episode though and it seems like her family is setting her up. Both of her parents seem like they were junkies at one point. Her mom did coke with her 'to connect with her' and looks like hell herself, and her dad was only marginally honest about his past drug use, to the point where it looked like he was going to mess everything up by trying to downplay addiction in front of her. Anyone would be doomed in a situation like that.

    people can only be helped if they want to accept they have a problem. i had a feeling when I watched her season on ANTM she seemed like a burn-out. it's crazy how she looks like a middle aged woman now in a few short years. goodbye to the modeling career and soon farewell to her teeth. after seeing all the meth before and after shots i don't know how anyone could want to even sample this substance. i hope jael gets help because this will wreck her life. meth before and after

    The sad thing is that I knew it was her before I even read this article. I suspected her having drug problems when I watched her season. Hopefully she can get the help she needs. She looks like she has aged 30 years since she was on ANTM.

    you can take the girl out of the trailer park but you can't take the trailer park out of the girl....

    Having served in the military with some overseas time where I saw horribly unfortunate things, I'm sorry... I just can't muster 1 oz of sympathy for someone who threw their lives away so friviously... she's been warned, told, given a chance by sheer circumstance of birth of being white, free and American that is simply offlimits to 99.9% of the rest of the world.

    Other that serving as a warning poster to stupid darwin award kids... she is useless to
    anybody for anything... even biologically, she is too screwed to be a host organism to create another life. And she was at the very top of the foodchain... Nope, I coudn't care any less...we'll read about her at least one more time - and soon...

    This is what ANTM are not telling you. Have you seen them come to enquire after her, and ask if she is OK? No, because they are busy scouting out the next new talent, and they don't care how their standards of beauty may affect someone's health. Disgusting industry.

    I'm saying no because an addict will not quite drugs until they have had enough! Meaning when they "Hit" their "Rock Bottom" and only they know when that is.......Good Luck Dr.Phill!!

    meth is horrible and relentless - most are better with a bullet to the head instead of holding out hope to clear their addiction. Some beat it; most don't...

    I don't know what the recipe would be but it's made of stuff you know d*mn well you should not be breathing, ingesting or otherwise be around. It's made up of alot of common household chemicals that are so toxic, that a specially trained and state certified meth lab cleanup crew has to come and clean it out before the house can even be cleared to live in again. But that is often not a problem - because chances are, the house was so flammable it'd be a miracle it's still standing because they often blow up. Gallons of ether and other fun chemicals for the kids to play and grow with.... And this bimbo was addicted to that - as if she is a 'victim'. Sometimes 'stupid' just can't be fixed.

    I read the site that Pookie put up for me and that sh*t is dangerous to your health and anyone who is around it. All drugs are harmful but "Meth" goes beyond that,I can't get over what I read! Wheee!!

    exactly; I read that crap too... put's her 'addiction' in a new light doesn't it... hence my harsh words earlier...
