ANTM Cycle 9 winner, Saleisha Stowers, is the subject of some questionable rumors.  Rumors began circulating that her victory may not have been all that fair. In the season opener Saleisha disclossed that she attended Tyra’s T- Zone camp for underprivileged girls when she was 14. However, it was not made known to viewers that the two extended their friendship beyond that experience. Fans found video of the model hopeful appearing on the catwalk in an episode of “The Tyra Banks Show,” the Web site reports.   Viewers also found that Saleisha had appeared in a nationwide Wendy’s commercial that aired in 2006, seemingly in violation of an “America’s Next Top Model” eligibility rule that states would-be contestants “must not have previous experience as a model in a national campaign within the last five years (including, but not limited to, appearances on television and print advertisements),” E! reports.  In response, the CW issued a statement saying that Saleisha did disclose her participation in the Wendy’s spot, but “after reviewing the commercial, it was determined that her appearance did not amount to ‘modeling’ experience, and therefore did not exclude her from participating in the show.” What are your thoughts?
