America's Next Top Model
Cycle 6
Main article: America's Next Top Model (cycle 6)While Cole had had previous modeling experience, ANTM was the first time she had national attention focused on her. Cole was one of the thirteen female contestants on cycle 6 of ANTM, eventually taking third place in the competition. Joane Ann "Joanie" Dodds took runner-up and Danielle "Dani" Evans ended up winning the cycle. During her tenure on the show, Cole was described as "obnoxious, self-absorbed, and flamboyant" and "arrogant... and one of ANTM's greatest villains." E! News called Cole one of the "two biggest bitches in the history of the show." In response, Cole has stated that she felt ANTM was a "misrepresentation", an "inaccurate performance" and that she had been exploited.
Cycle 17
Main article: America's Next Top Model (cycle 17)Cole stated that she had turned down America's Next Top Model cycle 17, "The All Stars", citing contract issues.
In an interview, Cole stated, "As much as I would have loved to be back on TV, I felt I possibly would be misrepresented if appearing on 17. signing your rights and life hypothetically away. ... Reality shows frequently portray a modified and highly influenced form of reality. often persuaded to act in specific scripted ways by off-screen 'story editors' or 'segment television producers,' with the portrayal of events and speech manipulated and contrived to create an illusion of reality through direction and post-production editing techniques."
Some in the media lamented Cole's lack of appearance on the cycle.

Personal life
Cole has partnered with Casa de Amparo, an organization that aims to treat and prevent child abuse and neglect. Of the partnership, Cole stated, "After my notoriety on ANTM, I wanted to return to issues that are most important to me and give back to the community that has given me so much support. I wanted to work with children. Friends and family told me about Casa de Amparo. I was touched by their vision of ending child abuse and so decided to become a volunteer."
