Jaslene González on Linsay Lohan: “Her actions I think right now are kind of pathetic, but I am no one to judge”

Jaslene González opened up to Sports and Entertainment Journalist Chris Yandek, of TheSportsInterview.com, on the advantages of being Latina, Jennifer Lopez, and that ‘Pathetic’ Lindsay Lohan:

The Hispanic population is the fastest growing population in this country. There is a growing market there. Do you feel you have an advantage being a model in this industry right now because you are part of that growing population?

“Of course. It’s a huge advantage for me. That’s what I was telling Tyra. My reason for going on there was to be the first Latina to win America’s Next Top Model. Reason being that I knew I had America, but also Latin America backing me up. Those are two big markets. I think that what distinguishes me from all the winners. I think that’s amazing and definitely an advantage for me. Modeling is a passion of mine and I am willing to work as hard and trying to stay as long as I can in this industry. Having those two opportunities is amazing.”

When most Americans think of Hispanic actresses, it’s Jennifer Lopez, Selma Hayek, or Penelope Cruz. Who did you look up to growing up?

“I actually looked up to Jennifer Lopez, Selma Hayek, all of them. They are all strong women figures, icons, and they’re legendary. I wouldn’t mind following in their footsteps career wise because of how successful they have been. Even with CoverGirl, I have the privilege of following Queen Latifah and Tyra Banks first steps so to each its own. I could relate to Jennifer Lopez and Selma Hayek, but still I have a different focus. My career is going to be different. My lifestyle is going to be different. Just having that title as a Latina and that powerful status is a beautiful thing.”

You are in that early 20s group of women who get thrown into this entertainment industry and it can be crazy at certain points. What are your thoughts on what’s recently gone on with Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton’s personal troubles?

“It’s nobody’s place to judge anybody’s life. I just feel like they are in the public eye. I don’t even want to talk about them or anything because it’s so different, their world and the way they live their life. I don’t know what they are going through in life. I don’t know what’s making them do the things they are doing now. I can’t sit here and judge them. I personally don’t agree with a lot of the things they are doing. As far as Lindsay Lohan, her actions I think right now are kind of pathetic, but I am no one to judge.”

With such a inviting personalities, level-headed and dedicated approach to things, we doubt Jaslene’s career will be short-one. You go girl!
