After bursting onto the scene with their unforgettable performance on season 14 of the Oxygen reality series Bad Girls Club, Shannon and Shannade Clermont moved quickly to plant their stilettos on the forefront of public consciousness. Rejecting the notion that fame is fleeting, the Clermont Twins stayed busy doing the most to grow their ever-growing social media fanbase while quietly building a budding empire in the background. While at first glance it may seem that the platinum-haired twins are little more than two wannabe Instagram thots armed with Snapchat filters and cosmetically-enhanced assets, there's no denying that Shannon and Shannade have made waves far beyond their massive follower count.
"We love our nice things and we take pride in showing them off. We earned them. Every time someone sees a woman with nice things she's called every name in the book. Especially if she's black. That's tiring and we're never going to stop that. We clap for ourselves every time we accomplish something. Shit, who else will?" Shannade revealed to Paper magazine, praising the efforts behind her and her sister's hard-earned fortune.
Alongside debuting their own luxury womenswear brand, the twins set social media ablaze with their semi-nude promotional shoot for Yeezy Season 6 which earned a stamp of approval from Kim Kardashian-West herself.
However, the toxic underbelly of their plastic lifestyle soon caught up with one-half of the famous duo. Back in July 2018, Shannade officially entered the IRL Bad Girls Club after she was arrested for allegedly stealing a dead man’s debit card/personal information after meeting him for a $400 “prostitution date." According to the U.S. Attorney’s Office, Shannade racked up "thousands of dollars in fraudulent purchases" in the months following his death and event paid her rent and phone bill with the stolen card.
After pleading guilty to felony wire fraud, Clermont faces up to 20 years in federal prison at her upcoming sentencing hearing on February 13, 2019.
