Model Kate Upton is no dumb blonde. The model and actress has spoken out on the common misconception about blond women. Katherine Upton, daughter to Texas state tennis champion Shelly Upton, was quoted by ELLE Magazine as saying that people treat models like children.

"People deal with models like they are children. They think they can pull one over on you. It's actually funny. I'm always like, I'm about to pull something on you, and you're so focused on thinking I'm dumb you're not even going to know," She told ELLE.
