'Vivian': E! Snap docu-series star Vivian Benitez gets candid about fame, money and men who don't text back

In an exclusive with Meaww, Vivian Benitez talks about her days of struggle and why it isn't still over despite securing an eponymous Snap docu-series

Snapchat is way ahead of the game, redefining the future of mobile TV with the introduction of scripted and unscripted originals and at the forefront of it all is 21-year-old Vivian Benitez, an aspiring actress and the youngest model scout for Wilhelmina L.A.

In the ongoing Snap documentary-series, we see Vivian navigate her life through the glitz, glamour, humor, and hardship of Los Angeles. As the youngest model scout, she has recruited over 200 models in two years and ushered Wilhelmina L.A. into the digital space, and as an actress, she booked a co-starring role on CBS’ 'Criminal Minds' and a principal role in Lionsgate’s 'Arsenal'. However, she still has a long way to go and despite her massive success, she claims to only have $11.07 in her bank account.
