Miriam Rivera wooed six men on Ibiza for the TV show before revealing her secret

Questions have been raised about the circumstances of Rivera's death
Miriam Rivera, the star of 2004 dating show There's Something About Miriam, which revealed she was transgender at the end of the series, has died.
The Mexican model died in February, but the news has only just emerged. She was 38, according to the Daily Mail .
Rivera's husband Daniel Cuervo posted an online tribute to her in February.
Her Sky One series caused controversy at the time, with the male contestants winning compensation after saying the programme had "a devastating effect".
She went on to appear in Big Brother Australia later that year.
Mr Cuervo told the Daily Mail she was found dead, but that she was cremated before an autopsy could be carried out. He said he had received a death threat while organising her funeral.
Remy Blumenfeld, who created There's Something About Miriam, told BBC News: "She was a very warm and generous person who seemed much more mature than her years.
"She was very empathetic to other people's feelings, and really wanted to be a trailblazer in her own way, because she grew up at a time where there were no trans role models."
Mr Blumenfeld spotted Rivera in a girl band and decided to put her in a TV show.
"She fought a very hard battle," the TV producer added. "It says something about what a kind of strong and courageous and brave person that she was, that she managed to challenge those agreements that were so prevalent in the world, and especially in Mexico at the time."
There's Something About Miriam caused a stir when she spent the series choosing one of six contestants to be her romantic partner, and winner of a £10,000 prize.
It was not until the series finale that she told them she was transgender, and the show was pulled from Sky One's schedule after the men sued for emotional distress, claiming Sky One was complicit in a "conspiracy to commit sexual assault".
The reality show was eventually screened after the men were paid compensation .
In 2017, trans writer and comedian Shon Faye, who watched the show when she was in her teens, told the New Statesman it had simply confirmed "that I was a joke, that this world wasn't built for people like me [or Miriam] and that society was fine with that".
Mr Blumenfeld told the BBC: "Yes, there was controversy around the show. What has continued to surprise me is the support that I've had from the trans community online and on social media, despite the fact that the mainstream press continue in their assertion that it was a step back for trans people.
"We were led in our editorial decisions by her and what she was comfortable with."
Rivera was also a member of the New York ballroom scene's legendary House of Xtravaganza, which paid tribute on Instagram.

In 2007, Rivera was injured after falling from the 4th floor window of her New York apartment. She said she fell trying to escape a burglar, but some reports suggested she had been deliberately attacked.
After her death in February, a friend, Susan Nielsen, wrote on Facebook that she had been "subjected to murder attempts" before her death.

Miriam Rivera — the first openly trans reality star, has died.


Rivera’s husband Daniel Cuervo confirmed the news in a Facebook tribute shared in February but her death only came to light this week.


“My adorable wife rest in peace darling until God lets us be together again,” Cuervo wrote.


Authorities have ruled Rivera’s death a suicide, but Cuervo is convinced there’s more to the story.


He explained to Daily Mail Australia on Thursday that he believes Rivera’s death was “passed off” as a suicide after she refused to work as a prostitute.


During the interview, Cuervo recalled the last time he spoke to Rivera on the morning of Feb. 5.


“Miriam called me [in New York] from Mexico, telling me she was feeling sick and vomiting blood, so I told her to get to the hospital,” Cuervo to Daily Mail Australia.


He explained to the outlet that Rivera called him one more time before leaving the hospital at around noon and that was last time he heard from her.

Just two hours later, Miriam was found dead by hanging at her home in Hermosillo, Mexico, according to Daily Mail Australia . She was 38.


Cuervo had hoped to fly Rivera’s body back to New York where he lives, but as he began to make funeral arrangements he was told that her body had already been cremated, he told the outlet. An autopsy was never performed.


Her husband then said he allegedly received a threatening phone call from an unidentified man, who warned him not to plan a funeral for Rivera.


“Don’t come back to Mexico or we’ll kill you,” the man said, according to Cuervo, Daily Mail Australia reported.


Cuervo did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment.


Her husband isn’t the only one who finds the circumstances surrounding Rivera’s death to be suspicious.


Rivera’s friend Jeanett Ørtoft spoke out about her death telling Daily Mail Australia , “Some say she was killed for going against human trafficking, others say she took her own life.”


Rivera became widely known after starring in the 2004 dating show There’s Something About Miriam .


The show has since been highly criticized for framing being transgender as something negative as it featured six men wooing a then 21-year-old Rivera, who did not reveal she was transgender until the final episode.


The show was pulled from Sky One after the contestants sued for emotional distress.


The lawsuits were later settled out of court, Deadline reported.


The show’s creator Remy Blumenfeld has spoken out to BBC about Rivera’s death, describing her as a “very warm and generous person who seemed much more mature than her years.”


Rivera also appeared on Big Brother Australia following the finale of There’s Something About Miriam .


The late star was also a member of New York’s ballroom house Xtravaganza. The house paid tribute to Rivera on Instagram writing, “Remembering… our beautiful Miriam Xtravaganza.”

Y’all are probably familiar with the dearth of positive trans representation out there in the world, and also the oft-problematic situation in which the few trans women characters that do exist are rarely portrayed by actual trans actresses. Those roles usually go to cis men, and often go to cis women . This issue has gotten increasing attention over the last few years as high-profile trans female roles have been snagged by cis male actors like Eddie Redmayne, Jared Leto and Matt Bomer. There’s no need for this to happen when there are so many trans actresses out there who are ready and willing to do the work, as explained in a video released last month in which trans actors demand Hollywood cast trans actors in trans roles . “We’re not saying that cis people can’t ever play trans parts,” the video declares, “Just that right now, in this culture, there are consequences: bad ones.”
I recently witnessed a trivia game in which a group of queer people were unable to name more than three trans actresses (which sadly is two more than most Americans can name). Nothing makes me more bananas than seeing human beings incorrectly answer questions I know the answer to, which’s why I was VERY popular in elementary school. BUT SERIOUSLY that situation is what inspired me to make this list, a process through which I learned about so many women I’d never heard of before. Probably neither have you!
So, here we are: 55 trans actresses y’all should know and love and that we’ll hopefully see on some screens or stages more often than we do currently.
