For a time, Jose Canseco was one of the biggest names in all of Major League Baseball. But according to his daughter, the money he earned from that fame did not exactly last very long.
Josie Canseco now works as a model for Victoria’s Secret and has her own self-made fame. And she recently lashed out against people accusing her of profiting off of her family’s fame, claiming that her family “is broke” and that the family was bankrupt by the time she was six or seven years old.
“Everyone claiming I came from all this rich money because I’m a ‘canseco’ do ur research,” Josie Canseco said in a since-deleted post on Instagram according to Fox News. “My ‘family money’ was blown by the time I was 6/7 w bankruptcy n I had to work my [tail] off to not only sustain my ‘family name’ but also pay my bills cause no one paid that [stuff] except me.”
Josie Canseco has established quite a successful modeling career for herself with over 1.2 million followers on her Instagram account. But she said it is not because of her family’s wealth.
“My family is broke and I dont get the advance of a family that was rich,” Josie Canseco said.
“I’m tired of being categorized when it was very different,” she added. “I’m beyond grateful because I certainly have been graced with the privilege of being born within a family that earned what they earned but respectfully, the expectation isn’t all what it seems.”
It’s safe to say that she’s made a name for herself despite the circumstances, however.
