Besides her parents, Winnie lived with her two sisters, whose names are not mentioned. Talking about her education, Winnie did not go through healthy High School life. When she was just four, Winnie was diagnosed with a skin condition called Vitiligo, where the skin loses its pigmentation.
Likewise, Harlow was continuously teased and bullied in school so much that Winnie had to change schools many times until the young could not take it anymore.
In fact, ‘Cow‘ and ‘Zebra’ became a staple name for her in High School, and because of the constant name-calling and bullying, Winnie dropped out of school.
The young model was so depressed and even considered committing suicide. But she did not give up and kept living. Amidst all the name-calling, the young model came up with her nickname, “Harlow,” as a tribute to her childhood idol, Jeanne Harlow, Marilyn Monroe‘s icon. It was her way of battling bullying and depression. And boy, did it work out!
