Born in Geneva, Switzerland as Sarah Lahbati Alzol, she bagged the title as “Ultimate Female Survivor” in 5th season of Starstruck, GMA 7’s reality search for new talents but she got more attention after expressing her dissatisfaction with her network which later led to her desire to be let go from her contract, and eventually being countersued by GMA 7. But the real highlight was when she and Richard Gutierrez admitted to their relationship and their baby Zion.
