She is a project manager in a graphic design firm.
Tiphany Adams was paralyzed in 2000, the result of a devastating car accident. "I was 17-and-a-half, in my senior year in high school, when I was in a head-on vehicle collision caused by a drunk driver, hit at 130 miles per hour. We were all pronounced dead on the scene, and I was in a coma for three weeks. When I woke up, I was like, ‘I’m going to get through this, and I’m going to live my life to the fullest.’" She is considered "the blond bombshell" of the group with an uncensored mouth and open, honest nature. She loves sex with both men and women and doesn't like labels.
