Canada’s first Top Model says she was violently attacked while on vacation in the Caribbean last week.
The sun was shining last Thursday in St. Lucia when Andrea Muizelaar, who won the televised Canada’s Next Top Model competition in 2006, and a friend ventured off their cruise ship and up a hill.
On the way down, they were assaulted by three men with knives, said Muizelaar, 21, from Whitby, Ont. Her friend was punched and had a knife put to his throat.
“All I know is I remember him breathing on my neck,” she said, “but I got loose because I was screaming, screaming out of control.”
She has cuts and bruises on her arm.
Muizelaar said she ran as fast as she could, slammed into a car that was coming up the street and begged the driver for help. Some women came out of their homes and to her defence with baseball bats. But the culprits had fled.
Muizelaar has set aside modelling and returned to school to take business administration.
