Tonya Cooley (born January 7, 1980, in Visalia, California) is a former cast member on MTV's reality television series, The Real World: Chicago, the 11th season of The Real World, which aired in 2002.
She was then a regular on the spin-off series, Real World/Road Rules Challenge, participating in eight challenges, with her last being in 2009.
She also posed for Playboy as a Cyber Girl of the Week and appeared in an episode of the Cinemax adult series The Erotic Traveler.
The stressful environment of the Real World/Road Rules Challenge seasons led to a bout with alcoholism, but in 2016, BuzzFeed News reported she has gained sobriety in the years since leaving the series and that she is now a salon owner.
Cooley told the publication, "I am a genuinely happy person now."
