In May 2023, we saw Tiana again for the first time in over 18 years. For some reason she was wearing the same outfit as we last saw her in 2005, however, this time she had a new face, giving Mattel's failed "What's Her Face" brand from 2001 a run for their money. Her nickname was also no longer "Elegant Elephant" and instead now "Hot Sauce". We decided to then reach out to her staff and ask for a quick but also deep and emotional interview.
Hello Tiana. It's great to have you here!
Thank you for inviting me!
So how have you been?
*crickets*
It has been over 18 years since we last saw you in the Bratz pack. Let's just get right into it. You made your first appearance in the hit line "Tokyo A Go-Go" alongside other new friends, Kumi, and May-Lin. Now this is not shade but at BratzLips.com we keep it real (no we don't) and Kumi ended up being the most popular girl out of all three of you and went on to be in more lines with the pack.
Let's not try to cause beef here. You wouldn't be saying this if you had known what I've been through and seen. First off I still in keep contact with Kumi! She is my girl unlike the others...
Oh oop, so what's up?
It all started at the Dance 'N' Skate Club...
When Jade temporarily worked for Burdine...Yasmin, Cloe, and Sasha came up to me and said "Let's go to Nevada!".
"We finally made it to Las Vegas. Throughout the whole trip they kept calling me 'elephant'" - cried Tiana
Tiana got tired and was about to run away from the girls only to find out they were one step ahead of her and left her and took her clothes (that they bought for her) with them. This made her wear the same outift for the next 18 years.
She then ran off to the islands. That was when she met Barbie:
"That elephant you saw in Barbie as the Island Princess, yeah that was me" - Tiana
After ruining Barbie's chances of getting rich and marrying a prince, Barbie kicked Tiana out of her life:
She then used her savings from not buying new clothes to fly to the UK however it was worse as this time, no one recognized nor understood her despite being once part of the popular group Bratz:
It was very hard because she also lost her friend May-Lin, who MGA wouldn't bring back:
She then saw the Bratz again while they were promoting their music in England. She came up to them and they decided to give her a makeover like they did to Sharidan in Forever Diamondz. They took her eye contacts out because just like Sharidan's glasses, they thought the eye contacts weren't pretty even though they are not visible like eyeglasses.
The makeover:
The girls then shout "hot sauce" at her. Even though she was in disgust and wanted to run away, Tiana couldn't see without her contact lenses which led to the Bratz then strangling her and using her for cookings:
She says a portion of her got consumed by the K-pop group NCT Dream:
"Kumi then walked in by accident in terror and pulled me out of the pot. I am thankful to have a friend like her save me and am proud to say I am a survivor after many betrayals and losses" - Tiana
In the words of Tisha Campell, I'm still here! - Tiana
Tiana has been through it. She lost her friend May-Lin, the British don't understand her, and the Bratz ditched her in Las Vegas hence why she came back with the same outfit that we saw her in from Welcome to Fabulous. Worst of all, she got used as a hot sauce for the Bratz to cook with. Maybe we should start unstanning Bratz?
I love this do more!
