The Celebreality Interview - Heather

“I could have won that thing had I not hooked up with 12 Pack,” Heather tells us, reflecting on her time on I Love Money. Below, the reality TV wild child talks about her subdued showing on Money, why Megan’s comments roll off her back and gives us a brief preview of Charm School: Rock of Love Girls. She also reveals her side of the 12 Pack affair and counters claims he made in his interview on this blog like, “I told her that she had inner demons and then she flipped on me and started playing the whole Christian role.” As we all know by now, hell hath no fury like Heather scorned.

You seemed more subdued on I Love Money than ever before.

I definitely got wild and crazy and had some cocktails here and there, but that’s going to happen on every show I do. On this one, I was a bit more chill, which I’m glad about. I’m glad I got to show the audience a different side. I’m not always out of control. I’m actually really chill in my normal life.

Was it a conscious decision to be more chill?

No, it’s kinda just the way it turned out. They could have shown more wild and crazy moments. A lot of my fans are like, “Why didn’t they give you more airtime?” I’m cool with my portrayal, though. I can see what the producers are doing. They’re always thinking ahead businesswise, and so am I. I’ve had a lot of airtime already and we’ve established that we’re going to do more projects in the future. Maybe they’re looking do to other projects with other people, giving them a bit more airtime now.

What do you think about Megan getting more airtime than anybody?

She’s good TV. She’s not the most liked person on television, but you need a villain on every show you do. Regardless of my opinion of her off-air, I want every show that I do to be successful. I want the shows to be good. Everybody adds their own twist. You need all types. I wouldn’t want to watch a show with all Heathers.

That’s very reasonable of you.

Exactly, seeing all the things she said about me and things of that nature. But I’m professional and I don’t take it personal. Charm School’s right around the corner and I’m the anchor of that show. I really think that it’s going to blow everything out of the water. Maybe not Rock of Love 1, but it’ll come close, especially with Sharon on board. I pushed everything to the extreme on Charm School and then broke down to the core. I’m all the way down to the bare minimum of my soul.

The stuff Megan says doesn’t affect you at all?

She says the same thing to everybody. She calls everyone old, she says everyone has saggy boobs. I don’t know how my boobs can be saggy because they’re attached to my pec muscles. She puts everybody down. It takes too much energy to get upset about it. Karma’s a bitch and the more you say people look old, the older you’re gonna look. I’ve done appearances with Megan since I Love Money wrapped. We’re professional and can make money together. Her issues are for her to deal with. At least my name’s still coming out her mouth. As long as people are talking about me, as long as my face’s still out there, I’m doing good. F*** it.

What about Brandi C.? You were tight on Rock of Love and not so much on this show, but we never saw you fall out.

Well, she got a new best friend on this show. So many of us were coupled up and having a fun and sexy time. Megan and Brandi had to conjure up strategy because they had nothing else to do. On the same token, I could have won that thing had I not hooked up with 12 Pack. I think our hook up benefited him but not me. Because of it, he stayed around longer, but I left earlier.

Because it cut off your chances for other alliances?

I was weakened because I got distracted. I think at first I was attracted to just the 12 Pack façade. Then, I found out more and more that this person wasn’t who I thought he was. I remained loyal to my alliance, but I watched him going around, thinking everyone was under his thumb. He thought Megan wanted him he thought he had Toasteee and Hoopz and Real all under his thumb. He thought he was the man, but he couldn’t even do his own laundry. He has no dreams, no aspirations, no motivation and I had no idea going into this. In his interview, he acted like I was so up his ass. I never contacted the guy after Mexico. I didn’t care, I didn’t want to be with him. What’s funny to me is that he gets on VH1.com saying how he didn’t kiss me for the last couple of weeks, when we hung out in Mexico together after we were both eliminated. We went out and hooked up with no cameras. It was a great night, whatever, but after listening to some of the two-faced things he had to say about other people on the show, I had no intentions of talking to him again until the show aired. Then it’s time to make money. When he contacted me, I was just talking business and he was like, “What happened to us?” Whatever. He told me how depressed he was and I started feeling bad for him again. He invited me out to New York, I flew out on my dime, I brought him The Secret because someone gave it to me when I was down and I wanted to pay it forward…I’m going out there to help this a**hole and he doesn’t contact me until an hour before the event. I go there and he’s sitting there shoulder-to-shoulder, frolicking with his buddies on the floor. I thought it was pretty hot, actually. When I left New York, I texted him and let him know that he was an ass and that I went out of my way to be there for him. We went back and forth on MySpace and I eventually told him that I thought it was hot how he was chumming up to his buddies and that if he fancies men, I’m cool with that. He flipped out and wrote me the meanest stuff that anyone ever has, telling me that he was done with me and I had demons. It sounds like I hit a nerve there. Maybe he has inner demons.

When you were romantic, what was the nature of your relationship? Was it just a hook-up?

What I was thinking was, this is going to be a hot hook-up. But I was also thinking that we should play our cards right. After the show aired, I didn’t care if he banged all these chicks, but when the cameras were on, I wanted us to be all into each other and have fun so that maybe we could get a spin-off show like Adrianne and Christopher Knight. It’s just a good way to go. But he’s too young and stupid. He doesn’t have a business mind at all. If you’re out in Hollywood making a good career for yourself, he doesn’t want to hang out with you. You have to be an equivalent loser or below for him to have any interest. And I feel like he needs to be exposed for the fraud loser that he is. I’m not going to sit back and let you talk s*** about me. Please, have you met me? Hello! Wrong bitch.

What about the Entertainer? Any resentment for turning on you?

I really don’t have resentment over that. Everything happens for a reason and the Entertainer really has had my back. He had my back more on the show than 12 Pack did. It was $250,000 and he had to go for the money. He had to take a chance getting on the alliance with people who hated him from day one. It wasn’t very smart, but whatever, he was just thinking of getting out of his parents’ house. You can’t have resentment for someone who’s just trying to make their life better.

You had a reputation for being hated, per Megan and Brandi. Did you have any sense of that?

Of course not. Actually, everybody liked me on the show. Do you hear anyone talking s*** about me? No. They’re talking about them. That was just them trying to sway the Entertainer while they were giving him a rubdown. For the record, I’m not one to try to give some guy a hard-on while I try to convince him to let me stay. You either believe me or you don’t. The truth is all I have to offer. Even though Toasteee and Pumkin had their secret alliance, I never got in a fight with them. I never got in a fight with Whiteboy, Real or Chance. I argued with Hoopz, but we respect each other. I love everyone on the show. Everyone on the show likes me. Oh, also another thing I wanted to point out was that the show implied that I just decided to be cool with Lily on the last episode out of desperation. That’s a total lie. From day one, I loved that little dog and talked to her and played with her, even if Megan and I were fighting. I wasn’t trying to be friends with anyone. I was just bored and wanted to kick it.

You weren’t in a frantic search for friends after 12 Pack left?

No! I was cool with everybody! I was a little sad because my alliance was breaking apart. I’m not a desperate person, for Christ’s sake.

Any regrets?

Nah. Everything happens for a reason. I won’t even say that I regret hooking up with 12 Pack. It just taught me to never hook up with someone of that low loser status again.

But how can you prevent against it in the future? You said it wasn’t until later that you became disenchanted with his personality.

I don’t know. Now my trust issues are even worse! I’m just straight-up career-oriented now. But my thing is that I have a heart of gold. When I meet someone else who does, I think I’ll know.
