Jazmín De Grazia

Jazmín De Grazia (4 July 1984 – 5 February 2012) was an Argentine model and television presenter. She was one of the three finalists of the television modelling contest SuperM 20-02. She later worked as a host and panelist in different television shows.

Career

Her career as a model began when she enrolled in the modeling course at the agency of Ricardo Piñeiro, during which she learned about the Super M 20-02 contest. She signed up for it, and after living with 15 other women, she was among the three finalists. After the contest, she began to work as a model participating in multiple fashion shows, advertising campaigns and national and international television commercials.

In November 2005, De Grazia began to venture into television as presenter of the programme Princesas broadcast by El Trece alongside model Paula Chaves, as well as shows on E! Entertainment, FTV, MTV, Motorockers Bands on Fox and 100% Polo on Fox Sports Latin America. According to the investigation, De Grazia fainted after consuming a drug cocktail that included cocaine and anxiolytics. According to reports, on the mirror of her bathroom, the phrase "Vos no tenés la culpa de que el mundo sea tan feo" ("You are not to blame for the world being so ugly") was found written in rouge. Four days after her death, the Crónica newspaper published photos of De Grazia's dead body in her bathtub, leaked from the police. The publication of the photos generated rejection not only from De Grazia's family, but also from the newspaper's own reading public. Finally, De Grazia's family won a lawsuit and the images were removed from web searches.
