JESSICA SIERRA – WAITRESS AT HOOTERS
American Idol is recognized for producing a slew of superstars, yet many of its previous competitors faded into obscurity and returned to their regular lives. Jessica Sierra was a contestant on American Idol in 2005. She was even able to put out her first CD. Unfortunately, her problem with substance misuse aided her fall from grace in the entertainment industry.
Jessica Sierra was later featured on VH1’s popular show Celebrity Rehab. She was apprehended in 2008, though, and a judge ordered her to an absolute rehabilitation clinic. Jessica was not allowed to do interviews, advertise Celebrity Treatment, or appear on television while in rehab. She ultimately finished her term and promptly released her album Rebound. Jessica eventually required money loans to keep afloat when the record failed to chart. Sierra finally got work as a waitress at Hooters after realizing that her singing career wasn’t paying the bills. Her current net worth is estimated as $1.5 million.
