If that is information from NBC (the television network), I would guess it was supplied or verified by Niki or her management.

But as far as I know, Niki was NOT in the 1999 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit edition. She was in the 1997 and 1998 editions, but not 1999. I am not aware of any picture attributable to 1999, I have triple-checked the online version provided by SI, and you could also check FAMAMOCA for example

Can anyone supply a picture or other evidence that she was in the 1999 SI Swimsuit edition?

If I remember correctly, 99 was a strange year for SI and Niki.

I do not think she was in the actual magazine but she was in the desktop SI diary.

Niki was voted off CA already :/

But it was a successful appearance for her. And an early exit probably helped her. She exited without any kind of ugliness. It's an ugly venue, and the whole "boardroom" scenario promotes confrontation and ugliness. But it all reflected well on her, and she looked like a professional with integrity and grace. That's very positive. I realize she will have wanted to earn more money for her charity, but her appearance was a victory for her.
