Broadbelt Fonte then introduced Warren to George Gallier, the owner of American Models. She then went to New York City to shoot some photo tests.

The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department recorded Warren's date of birth as December 23, 1970. [15] [16] Although Warren's 1978 birth year is well-established, [1] [17] [18] some news sources then reported that she was born in 1970 or cited her age as if she were born that year. [11] [15]

In 2017, Warren was arrested for domestic violence after allegedly throwing cleaning fluid at her boyfriend. [19]
