Caron Bernstein (born 16 August 1970) is a South African model, actress and singer.
Early life and career
[edit]Caron Bernstein was born in Johannesburg. She majored in painting while studying at the School of the Arts in Johannesburg. At the age of fourteen, she was awarded a modeling contract with Ford Models. At 23, Bernstein changed her focus from modeling to music, signing three record deals with major labels by the time she was 26.
Bernstein returned to visual art in the early 2000s, focusing on portraits that attempt to capture the darker aspects of the subject's character. Her work has included victims of suicide, anorexia and alopecia. She has described her style as "surrealistic anime".[1][2][3]
In August 2007, she held an exhibition called Unbreakable Surrealism at the World Culture Center in Chelsea, New York. One of her works was a portrait of her ex-husband, Rammstein member Richard Kruspe, with a bullet through his head. Bernstein stated that the work was a response to Kruspe's alleged infidelity and abusiveness.[2]
In December 2017 Bernstein publicly alleged that fashion photographer Terry Richardson sexually assaulted her during a 2003 photo shoot at his Lower East Side studio.[4][5] Richardson denied the allegations saying that any contact had been consensual.

In 2010 she reportedly married to financier Andrew Schupak. They have a son named Jeff.[6]
She has a younger sister, Topaz Page-Green[6] and a brother, Peter who died by suicide in 1998.[3]
