Alicia Machado, 39, has been facing scrutiny ever since she’s been thwarted into the spotlight. The former Miss America has proudly shown her support for Democratic nominee, Hillary Clinton, 68, but because of the publicity, haunting details of her allegedly checkered past have come to surface. In 2010, Univision reported that she mothered a child with Gerardo Álvarez-Vázquez, a drug lord correlated with the notorious Sinaloa cartel. Alicia has since denied the reports, claiming that he is not the father of her daughter Dinorah, who was born in 2008.

Despite the original story coming from Spanish news reports years ago, the information has made it’s rounds once again. Gerardo allegedly went by the nickname “El Indio”or “El Chayán,” and was arrested in April 2010 and charged with running the Beltrán-Leyva narco-trafficking cartel. Yikes. Since then, Alicia has come forward to SLAM allegations that she had anything to do with him. She told People that she “did not have any relationship” with that man. She even came forward with the identity of her daughter’s father claiming, “he was very respectable businessman’ named Rafael Hernandez Linares.”

Meanwhile, Alicia has become a prominent name, especially after being featured in Hillary’s ad about Donald Trump body-shaming women. Shortly after she won the Miss America title in 1996, she was called “Miss Piggy” from the Republican nominee over her weight gain. On Aug. 19, she officially became a legal citizen, so she could cast her vote for Hillary. We’re hoping all the negativity surrounding her ends soon, especially for the benefit of her young daughter!
