Melania Trump Shock: FLOTUS Reportedly 'Not A Successful Model'; Donald's Wife Has No ZED Card
However, in Mar. 2019, Quinn Cummings claimed that Melania Trump was never a "supermodel" since she could not find her ZED card and professional photos. In a series of tweet, the writer pointed out Melania is more known for "dating a rich old guy in New York" than her actual work as a model.

“I keep thinking about Melania's zed card. If you aren't near the modeling business, a zed card or a comp card is the modeling equivalent of a headshot. It's slightly different, because their stats will be on it and headshots are mostly of the actor's, well, head,” Quinn wrote in a tweet. “Also, no professional shoots of any kind. We have tons of early pictures of any model of her generation, even if you were only a second-tier catalog model. (No insult meant to catalog. That stuff is BANK) Again, if your life is your image, you keep careful track of it,” she added in another tweet.

Melania Trump has yet to comment on Quinn Cummings’ statements. Meanwhile, in a FLOTUS-dedicated page published in the official White House website, Melania was described as a woman with “a highly successful modeling career, appearing in many high profile ad campaigns and working with some of the best photographers in the fashion industry.”

Melania Trump's 'supermodel' claims blasted by former roommate who detailed key reason she 'wasn't successful'
Atanian, who was working for Marie Claire at the time, recalled the future First Lady asking him to help her get in the magazine. The photographer sensed it was hopeless, he said: "She was always kind of a stiff person. That’s why she wasn’t a successful model, because she couldn’t move."

Earlier this year, former actress Quinn Cummings took to Twitter to voice her skepticism over Melania's modelling career. She questioned: "I keep thinking about Melania’s ZED card." Sharing images of a young Melania, Cummings captioned: "This is what you find of Melania. There are more, but you get the point."

She critiqued the photos as amateur shots that wouldn't get noticed by agencies: "These are the pictures your local photographer takes in your podunk Communist town which you send to a modelling agency, who never writes back." Cummings then pointed out a gap in Melania's career history: "The next time she's working, it's because she's dating some old guy in New York and she's sort of famous. There are literally no pictures of her work."

She wrapped up her tirade by hinting at a missing decade in Melania's timeline, "Which brings me to my point, which I am going to present very, very delicately. There's a decade she can't account for." There are nude pictures featuring implants which, besides being shoddy work, make her too big for top-level fashion modeling.
