Rhonda Lee Dionne Quaresma (née Bernard) is a Canadian professional female bodybuilder, currently active in fitness and figure competition.
Career
After a series of successful amateur competition, Quaresma's first professional show was the Canada Nationals in 1995 where she became the champion in the lightweight division. Quaresma gained her IFBB Pro card following this event but her later competition history was of much lower profile. She retired from the bodybuilding scene after the 2003 Night of Champions and starting from 2003, performed in a number of pornographic films (as Rhonda Lee), particularly for the Channel 69 studio series Body Builders in Heat.[1] Typically offering muscle worship sessions, Quaresma was arrested in March 2011 in Bonita Springs, Florida on charges of prostitution.[2] However, all charges were dropped just a few months later and Rhonda Lee has never been convicted of a crime. She has since returned to physique-exhibition events and competed in 2012 IFBB Toronto Pro Supershow Women's Physique category.[3]
