Baywatch star Yasmine Bleeth was bathing suit royalty in the '90's, but she's since fallen into obscurity. She's in her fifties now, and she looks very different than she did during her time on the beach. Keep watching to find out what happened to her. During her time on Baywatch, Bleeth was hounded by paparazzi, as stories about her suspected drug use would fill countless tabloid column inches. In 2017, her former co-star Gena Lee Nolin told Cosmopolitan that Bleeth was often treated unfairly by the press. As she put it, "It was absolutely nonstop [...] She was at the payphone where we filmed — this was before cell phones — and she scratched her nose and the Enquirer had three pictures of her, like front cover, 'Yasmine Bleeth — there's drugs' or whatever. And at the time, when I knew her, there was none of that going on." Some reports suggest that Bleeth's drug use didn't start until she left Baywatch and joined the cast of the crime drama Nash Bridges. But according to Baywatch producer Douglas Schwartz, she had substance problems while she was on Baywatch as well. In 2012, he told Esquire, "That's why we let Yasmine go off the show: because it was too difficult to deal with her after a while." Esquire also talked with Traci Bingham, who wasn't exactly sympathetic with her co-star's plight, as she said, "Yasmine Bleeth and the whole cocaine thing, who does that? Really? To the point where she's so out of the business now. Completely M.I.A." #YasmineBleeth #Baywatch Watch the video for the real reason you don't hear from Yasmine Bleeth anymore.
