Liliana stands out at GNTM. Not through their often unfocused manner, but through their honesty and loyalty to the other models. Both character traits that she has acquired through bitter experiences.

For Liliana Maxwell, 21, the 15th episode of “Germany’s Next Top Model” ends. But she’s not really sad – because she took something much more valuable with her than a title. In an interview with GALA, the young model talks about his past, the experiences at GNTM and what wishes she has for the future.

GNTM candidate Liliana grows up without a father

Liliana’s past plays a big role in her candidacy. She traces her loyalty and her directness back to her childhood. Liliana grows up without her father. She herself hopes that her big brother can be a male role model for her. “I thought he could be a father figure to me, but then he beat me all my childhood,” reveals Liliana tearfully. She first develops hatred of men, then fear. “At some point it changed to people in general. It all made me a different person,” says the young model. She quickly develops the feeling that nobody takes the time to really get to know her. Something that is changing at GNTM.

Suddenly Liliana is seen. Not only from the millions of viewers, but also from the other candidates. First and foremost Soulin, 20, and Ashley, 22. “With me and Soulin, nobody would have thought at the beginning that this friendship would arise. I am very honest and direct and tell people what bothers me. Soulin took the time for me to really get to know each other and for that I am very grateful to her “, says Liliana. Her dream was that people would understand her – something that she was denied in childhood. “That is more of a win than having won the GNTM title.”

Liliana: “I lived my best life at GNTM”

The 21-year-old makes it clear again and again how much time meant to her. When Liliana talks about her time at “Germany’s Next Top Model”, the joy sounds too. She laughs, jokes and even gets a call from Soulin during the interview. “Yes, the friendships last for life,” said the candidate. Still, she believes she never showed her full potential on the show. All the more she wants to grow with the experience, wants to continue working as a model and learn something new every day. She has already received a few job offers.

And maybe even more offers will come with your planned type change. Liliana wants to shave her bald head. “I’ve been saying this for a thousand years, but my mom won’t let me. If I’m far enough away, I’ll definitely dare to take this step,” says Liliana, making it clear: “My exit from GNTM is just the beginning! “
