The Celebreality Interview – Cali

Tragedy! Chance left Real Chance of Love empty-handed, so to speak, and now we get to hear the side of one of the girls he picked over. Below, the girl, who for a minute seemed to have won his heart, talks about her heartbreak upon finding out that was not the case. Cali also talks about accusations of being an industry girl, betraying Risky and she gives us a little taste of what to expect when she turns up on I Love Money 2 next month.

What do you make of Chance’s decision not to pick either of you?

I mean, I can’t force anyone to be with me. Chance’s decision was hard to deal with at first, but I’m not gonna be moping around. There are other guys out there. And I think that’s what girls should learn: if a guy’s not gonna treat them right and give them what they want, they should find somebody who will. There’s no use in chasing after a guy who doesn’t want to be chased.

Did you feel at all that the show was something of a waste of time in light of Chance’s non-choice?

No, I never thought that. I learned a lot about myself, just from watching myself back. I learned a lot living with a house full of females.

What specifically did you learn?

I learned from other people’s actions. I understood why people were fighting and stuff, but watching back, it looks a little unclassy. Screaming at people doesn’t solve anything. I also learned that it’s OK to put my guard down. It’s OK to let people in, even if you get your heart broken. I also made friends with girls. It wasn’t a waste of time because I built friendships.

Were you heartbroken after the show was over?

I was! I was sad! Eventually you get over it, though. You know, I used to watch all these reality shows and when you’d hear the girls say, “I love you,” I’d be like, “How can you say that?” But I was there, so nobody can say that you can’t fall in love. Because, like, for real for real, I really did fall in love. If Chance gave me a better reason for not choosing me, I don’t think I would have been so upset. If he said, “I’m gonna be traveling a lot because of my music,” or whatever, I would have understood it. But for him to say he has love for me and still not pick me, that confused the hell out of me.

What did you fall in love with?

He’s funny, wild and crazy as hell. I like guys that are wild. He’s carefree in a way. I like guys that act like they don’t give a f***, but are all about you when it comes to the relationship. Chance was carefree in the house, but when it came to me, he was always sweet. He was always sweet with me and an a**hole to everybody else.

Are you sticking to the words of your exit interview and never trusting guys ever?

I do have a problem trusting guys. I always have. But I said that out of anger. I know damn well I’ll eventually get married and trust my man or my long-term relationship.

Do you regret the big “K” you have tattooed on your neck in honor of Kamal?

A lot of people ask me that, but I still think it’s cute. I don’t regret it. I got it because I really liked him at the time and it meant something. But I knew what I was getting myself into. Maybe 10 years from now I’ll regret it, but for now, no. It was part of my life. Chance was part of my life.

Speaking of regrets, do you have any for kind of turning on Risky at the end?

I make stupid decisions when I’m in love. I kinda f***ed up. I know she didn’t do anything to hurt me or backstab me, because she’s not that kind of person. I felt really bad that I could have ruined a friendship over this. Over a guy in general. Even if Chance would have picked me. But Risky’s cool enough that she ended up forgiving me. Thank God. I think it would have hurt even more if I lost her friendship.

What about the accusations that you’re an industry girl?

What is that? Is it because I’m around people in the industry? I mean, Chance is an industry guy. I don’t understand why that was made into such a big deal. Let’s say I was in the house to pursue acting and modeling. Actors and models can’t find love, too? And if you look at Rabbit, she was probably more of an industry girl than me. She’s been in several music videos and has famous friends. I live in Hollywood and I go out to parties. It’s just a part of my life that they brought on the show to use against me.

But you have been in music videos, right?

I was in one music video. It wasn’t even anything. I was in the background in the club. I knew the guy who cast that video and I ended up leaving in the middle of the shoot because it took too damn long.

What about now? Are you interested in more TV after experiencing a little?

I’m always going to take advantage of everything that comes my way. If the opportunity comes, I’m gonna go for it. Why not? I wouldn’t mind doing it again?

If it doesn’t, are you content to continue doing makeup? Is that your passion?

It’s what I always wanted to do growing up. But makeup’s always gonna be there. That was my money-maker before.

Speaking of potential future money-makers, what can you tell me about I Love Money 2? How was it?

Crazy. Ten times crazier than Real Chance of Love. I made friends on that show and would be like, “Oh my god, how sad, we only have one week left,” or, “…two days left,” or “…one day left.” I was sad to leave that house. I Love Money? Uh uh. I wanted to go home! There are no friendships. Everyone there was fake. The only thing that kept me there was the money. I thought I could stay loyal like Hoopz did. Uh uh. Season 2 is a whole different game. You had to be a backstabber to go far.

Keep up with Cali via her FamousVH1Friends.com profile and her MySpace.

Poor Cali, I feel so bad for her and Risky.

Trecy January 13, 2009 at 5:38 am

I personally feel that it was &`@&%#+%*^*&^@`* up the way he play’d with your heart…but personally mayb you showed too much love..get over it and move on and mayb one day you would find love…at least he let you knew the real and didnt start a relationship with you and pull that (“!@#_~_(++~+^@ keep your head up and hopefully you would find love out there…

eahia January 13, 2009 at 8:21 am

Thats what u get u back staber,risky never talked about u behind ur back u talked about her to get close to a dude , ur trash

Jetta January 13, 2009 at 8:48 am

These two girls deserved way better than Chance anyway! I am happy for them that none of them ended up with him. He’s very childish. Cali & Risky are both smart, beautiful women. They’ll find their soul mates soon, ones they truly deserve. =)

bubbleious January 13, 2009 at 9:57 am

hey girl you are pretty and talented, so do the damn thang. chance shouldnt have took you to the end if he wasnt goin to pick. i think hes getting his own show.

Crissy January 13, 2009 at 10:10 am

To eahia: Shut up. Big deal, she made one comment about Risky. At the end of the day it’s a competition. Risky forgave her anyway, Cali didn’t really mean it.
(And she’s not trashy.)

Chance didn’t deserve either of his two finalists. They could do way better.

JD January 13, 2009 at 11:39 am

Man wat chance did was F**** UP..Two beautiful girls didnt pick ONE..Wat u did was took them on a roller coaster ride and BAILED leavin them trashed..BUT in a way I understand where he’s comin from..if u ain in love why pretend and take um thru that…but man das still a f**** up excuse..AIN NOBODY say u HAD to fall in love with them the night the show was ova..u cudda picked one u really liked and had the deep feelins for and develop love along the way dude…Everybody doesnt fall in love quickly..for some it takes time..and maybe thats for you..I really think u shudda picked risky..that girl is A DOWN A** CHICK..she had ya back AND YA brother’s back in that interrogation man..n look how she left on elimination night when u said im not in love with you..u asked can we be friends and she said with a smile YES OF COURSE..she still was cool with you and showed you some love…and look how cali walked out on u like dat…I UNDERSTAND that they shud be mad and upset but look how risky still treated you… dat DEFINITELY shudda showed u something..I like Cali too..but truely I think risky is definitely for you..Not every woman will have EVERYTHING Perfect n all goody goody..she gon have faults to..ya moms said cas risky had a temper i think that she might not be right for you..CMON we all have tempers..n chance has one himself..ANYWAY i think at the reunion you shud take back wat u said n PICK UP RISKY…Much Respect man

JD

Tiffany January 13, 2009 at 12:56 pm

It was really childish and tacky what chance did. I feel that he played with the girls emotions…he didn’t deserve them anyway. Until he matures, he shouldn’t be taken seriously when it comes to love. He should have picked Risky, she was down for him…. his loss.

Candy January 13, 2009 at 1:05 pm

AWW..DAT IS SAD..CHANCE DID THEM GURL DIRTY
HE SHOULD NOT HAVE DID THAT IT WAS A WASTE OF TIME.
I DNT KNO WHY PPL DO REALAITY SHOW TO FIND LOVE THEY JUST LOOK DUMB AT THE END..

TC January 13, 2009 at 1:20 pm

Girl-u have alot going 4 u so i am glad u arent sweating the Finale. I think that was VH1′s way of having another show 4 Chance. The producers always have a part in who stays, who goes and who wins. It wont be 2 long til we see “Chance of Love” & if Real and Cornfed dont work-he will b on it 2. Thats what happened w/ ROL2. The producers wanted Bret 2 pick Ambre cause they knew she wasnt his type &there would b another show&they wanted 2 give Daisy a show. Its all 4 ratings.

TC January 13, 2009 at 1:50 pm

Girl-u have so much going for you, don’t sweat over the finale! Chance is way too mature to be in a relationship…he is all about himself, and he has a ton of growing up to do. Yeah, he may be crazy cool, but he is also rude and self absorbed! Good luck with whatever you do..THERE WAS A REASON CHANCE DIDN’T PICK EITHER OF YOU, probably so he could get another show. Yeah, he cared about you more, but he’s all about himself.

VH-1 ADDICT January 13, 2009 at 2:41 pm

I love Cali, I cried when I saw her heartbroken, so to me that means it got to me cause whoc cries over a reality show? Im glad to hear she has moved on, she is a gorgeous girl, and I hope to see more of her. Give her her own show! Flav dumped New York last min, 2x, she got her own show, New York dumped Chance, he got his own show, (prob will have a second season, thats prob why he did it in the 1st place, cause his reason for not choosing ANY one was dumb, isnt this all about taking a Chance at Love? Not being in love) and so now Cali should get a chance at love because she deserves to find Mr. Right. But I am glad to hear she is going to be on I Love Money2. Too bad it seems like a lot of drama, but good TV. Anyways, if they gave that hoe Megan her spin off they should give Cali hers.

jamecia simmons January 13, 2009 at 3:00 pm

chance made a big mistake breaking her heart she was really in love with him.chance you know she loved you and you just going to break her heart like that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ALICIA January 13, 2009 at 4:01 pm

cali is a sweet heart…

classy lady January 13, 2009 at 4:01 pm

i think chance shouldve gave her a chance. maybe he was scared to be in a relationship….maybe he was there just for television….you never know. but i thought chance and cali would actually last. i felt sooooooooooooo bad for cali at the end of the show….i just couldnt believe what had happened…..

Ms.Sugahips January 13, 2009 at 4:09 pm

Cali you need to pick your face up cuz it got cracked you thought you was going to win Chance love by giving up the panties and look what happened

2m2i2a January 13, 2009 at 4:52 pm

huh u ugly and im happy he aint pick u he should have picked Risky…………..

jagal January 13, 2009 at 5:44 pm

cali u r gorgeous.chance was just afraid to commit to u.

Diamond Girl January 13, 2009 at 6:34 pm

AAAAWE COMON’

YOU ALL KNOW THAT THE ONLY REASON WHY CHANCE DID NOT CHOSE ANYONE IS BECAUSE THE PRODUCERS TOLD HIM IF THERE IS ANY CHANCE THAT HE COULD POSSIBLY NOT BE SERIOUS WITH ANY ONE OF THOSE TWO (CALI & RISKY), THEN TO PLEASE HELP US MAKE MORE $$$ MILLIONS $$$ AND DONT CHOSE ANYONE…….SO WE CAN GIVE YOU YOUR OWN NEW SHOW………… “A SECOND CHACE AT LOVE!!!

YEAH VH1 YOU KNOW IT, I DIDN’T GIVE YOU ANY NEW IDEAS THAT YOU DID NOT ALL READY HAVE, ANYBODY COULD SEE THAT COMING !

PEACE TO ALL!

La negra January 13, 2009 at 8:05 pm

i think chance broke both girls heart but i thinl cali was more hurt because she thought she had won. i was mad . but i think like others in here he will come with another show his a )_%#*###%~&+(&` hole if i was cali i would ponch his face or you know what so he could pay what he did . sleeping with her and then live her because i don’t think they didn’t do anything come on we all know they did. we

higirl January 13, 2009 at 8:17 pm

Cali, get you a show so you can do the picking this time and not have some punkass kid break your heart.

Christopher January 13, 2009 at 9:09 pm

I thought it was real sad to see Chance let go a GOOD woman like Cali, she is the kinda of woman that any good man would want and need. I had my heart broken many times before and Cali puts her out there him… I wish i could find a woman like that one day!!! Chance don’t know what he is really missing, but then of course like he said he wasn’t ready and he still has time to find the woman to full his needs!!!

dat gal January 13, 2009 at 9:15 pm

BUBBLE HEAD, PORNSTAR LOOK-A-LIKE!!!!!! U LIKE GIRLS ANYWAYS WHY WOULD U BE HEARTBROKEN…EVERY TIME WHEN I SEE CALI I FEEL LIKE POPPING HIS HEAD WITH A NEEDLE

STOP HATEIN ON HER January 13, 2009 at 9:45 pm

LIVE UR LIFE UR YOUNG PRETTY & I WISH U THE BEST I THINK U WAS THE BEST GIRL ON THE SHOW (NOHOMO) LOL UR BETTER OFF WIT OUT HIS SILLY %!&~&!^_`%()%~_

DivaDetra January 14, 2009 at 2:46 am

Chance is okay looking, but you have to know that you deserved MUCH better. I wish you all the best. Diva Detra

rell January 14, 2009 at 8:05 am

yeah i really didnt think chance cared for any of the girls it just never seemed like it.. but i thought he would at least pick one.. wow.. yeah i saw rabbit in the “pop champange” video so she is around the industry just as much

Leah January 14, 2009 at 9:36 am

Chance is Gay!!!! He is not interested in women. Duhhhh

Jen January 14, 2009 at 11:17 am

I have to say that I was disappointed with Chance over the finale. I feel that he should have let Cali know what he was feeling b4 their last night. I dont blame Cali for not speaking to him or showing him any love because he sure did show her that. I think Risky felt that with Chance that is why she didnt sleep with him. That just goes to show that a 22 year old boy can NOT be capable of finding love when he cant any get his emotions together. He was crying like a BABY throughout the entire last show. Cali dont let this PYT keep you from find love with someone.

hollisdiva1 January 14, 2009 at 11:39 am

RealChanceof Love, what can I say… the show was sooo fake, and so was all the characters,especially Real and Chance undercover ^^#+!)%$&)%+!@+ es, they know they are completely gay, I think they are on the downlow, Real is an UNCLE TOM, if I EVER SEEN ONE, you look like a transvestite with all that hair.. The NIGGA HAD ON A SILK BONNET FOR GOD’S SAKE.. I can’t imagine being with someone that we might end up fighting over hair products.. a nigga that will be right in the mirror with me tryin to primp and pamper his self, using my oilsheen,conditioner,wrapnets, my bumpers etc.. then he picked cornfeed ..nigga who are you cornbread,,, she gonna take you to Fargo and there gonna linch your ^^#+!)%$&)%+!@+ nigga stay in the cottonfields… you can’t even be a house nigga. You weak ^^#+!)%$&)%+!@+ )_+^()$`+!*)*+`^ with your corny ^^#+!)%$&)%+!@+ your not even funny at all. And Chance you fake ^^#+!)%$&)%+!@+ )_+^()$`+!*)*+`^ How could you not feel Cali.. and she was the one who showed you the most Love???????? You kept sayin you had love for her , then you played her???… HUH? I guess niggas will do anythang to get there own spinoff SHOW… but you will not get my ratings… Cause your fake ^^#+!)%$&)%+!@+ hell. Stallioners… Stall ya WHAT ??? Yall sum fake ^^#+!)%$&)%+!@+ Busters, YALL not even talented.

Sexy N Sassy January 14, 2009 at 12:44 pm

In my opinion I think Cali thought she had it in the bag, because she knew her and Chance had a sexual connection. But what chicks like Cali fell to realize is that,just because you dress like a smut and give it up easy does not mean you will be the one. So when she says she learned alot from the show, I hope this is one of them.

Nel January 14, 2009 at 5:22 pm

I’m glad that happened to her.
For the simple fact she tried to talk about Risky, someone she “claimed” was a friend.
Talking about her boyfriend this her boyfriend that…your “boyfriend” sure kicked you to the curb huh?

lil jay-lo January 14, 2009 at 7:16 pm

i think chance made da right choice risky was kinda ghetto and his mom aint like that at all his mom 2 preppy no offence but ok .and 4real cali needs 2 learn some self respect she dont need 2 be wearin those lil swim suits or wearin those lil clothes if he like yu 4 yu dont show ur body parts 2 win his heart that stupid he should love yu 4 yu…….!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! any comments or questions hit me up on myspace at lundon07@yahoo.com duece

tee January 14, 2009 at 8:26 pm

I honestly think that you are a `~)@&`(@$(`__%^+* I know you a industry girl by the way you present yourself. I don’t think you were hurt because he didn’t choose anyone. I think you were hurt because you spent damn near the whole show givin up as and still didn’t get pick. your were used, abused, and tossed to the left. Love my _!~()%*)++%@)(& But you are fine _!~()%*)++%@)(& hell. Especially for an asian.

candy January 14, 2009 at 11:58 pm

you did not deserve chance and i am so glad that he did not pick you!!!!!!!!!! it’s just something about you that doesn’t set right . you would have never blended in with chances family. they have strong beliefs and family ties. there mother is a queen to them and you would have never measured up to her. she is a strong ,beautiful,wise woman you are not .you are just about opertunity ! ! !

Nikkiis January 15, 2009 at 2:01 am

i love Cali.
i just dont understand.
i can understand how the ladies can say they’ve fallen in love with either Real or Chance
BUT what i dont understand is how Chance can not choose at least one of them, yes u wanna find love but how much time did he acctually spend with each one of them alone?
In situations like this , love could have easily been found in the long run. I seen Cali was definitely a favorite from day one, they liked eachother andif in the end I believe that higher levels would have been reached.

I just dont understand it. you dont start dating someone because youre in love with them you know..
And for him to not pick anyone , idk what chance is really trying to accomplish…
I’m just saying he coulda said the same “im not in love with you” line and still picked Cali (or Risky) because then he would have opened up to one of them like them been open to him..

i feek bad for you Cali. :( i was rooting for you. i know some people have mixed feelings toward you or what ever…. but i thought u was so cute when u called chance your boyfriend. :) lol

getup January 15, 2009 at 11:19 am

That was some funny s#@t. I didn’t expect that. Cali you got your bubble busted!!!! You shouldn’t have been talking smack when risky got eliminated and then you did. LOL

Stingy_Blue January 15, 2009 at 11:29 am

Good 4 you Cali! I’m glad you’ve moved on and will still give a “chance.” I’m glad you’re not bitter towards Chance. I wish you the best in life and in love and I’ll know you’ll do both and find the man of your dreams with your sexxy self. Peace.

Jainell January 15, 2009 at 6:39 pm

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you for not hugging that damn fool at the end of the show. I get sick and tried of seeing women stand beside their man when they do something stupid or break your heart. You deserve better. And if didn’t know that, he knows that know. You are not some everyday chick. Good luck in the dating game. peace.

Jackie January 15, 2009 at 7:59 pm

i kinda thought she was gonna win

Elliot January 16, 2009 at 11:54 am

Cali ~$&!^`&!%)~())~~ Chance give me a chance, and I promise I will show you love!

Cassandra Lopez January 16, 2009 at 12:32 pm

You keep a strong Honey are the best one for Chance it is his fault that he didn’t want to be with you.
I love you and so does everybody else who watched the show.
Peace out my homey.

brooklynmama January 16, 2009 at 8:13 pm

i feel cali got the raw deal my chance.she is a nice person who put her heart on the line and he took it for granted…or should i say he use her.when she needed love she couldn’t get it .her mom left her her grandfather is gone everyone leaves her and the one person she loves so much leaves her too.cali girl you are strong and i wish as a mom i was there to comfort you.

shayshayshay January 17, 2009 at 7:17 pm

i think real should have done like his brotha n picked noone cuz baybaybay was drama n cornfed was just on the show to get seen….. chance on the otha hand should have chose risky cuz she was real wit him …… he was just using dem girls so he could see how much action he could get on tv

TAMARA January 18, 2009 at 1:00 pm

YEAH THAT WAS A LITTLE MISSED UP WHAT CHANCE DID. BUT YOU SHOULDN’T HAVE DID THAT TO RISKY EITHER BECAUSE A MAN IS LIKE A BUS THEY COME AND THE GO AND FRIENDS STAY FOREVER . YOU JUST MISSED THAT ALL UP. THATS WHY CHANCE DIDNT PICK YOU EITHER PAY BACK NOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!

LOVE,
RISKY #1 FAN TAMARA

oceana henderson January 18, 2009 at 1:05 pm

Ok first of all Cali your pretty and all but what you did to Cali was horrible and if I was your friend I probably would have disowned you and she is not 1 of the girls that you can find so Risky is 1 of a kind but your not so its sad because any where i look I can find somebody just like you because I think you are FAKE as a barbie doll so that being said have a terrible life

QU3-QU3 January 18, 2009 at 1:47 pm

THINK HE SHOULD HAVE PICK RISKY BECAUSE YALL JUST DIDNT MAKE A CUTE COUPLE `)(#*(^+#*__!~(~_

Yolanda January 18, 2009 at 2:34 pm

Cali,

Take this as a lesson learned. I know this a show competing for the love of a man, but you don’t back stab your friend for anyone. If a man doesn’t see that you are a diamond, then leave him alone and find someone who thinks of you as one because there are so many men in the world who will cherish a woman like that.

casi January 18, 2009 at 3:53 pm

lol i think you were the best and he should have picked you
you did whta you had to because you were in love
i think he is an idiot for not picking you

keana January 19, 2009 at 3:20 am

cali, when i watched this episode i cried. when i first saw you on the show i wanted you to win chances heart. but after the way i saw him treat you on the finale it was just sad. you were there for him from the start and you never took your eyes off him, you were loyal to him and you also showed him love. i just want you to no that i think you should of won and you are my inspiration. i hope this lesson will make you stronger because you are a beautiful, strong, and loving person and every man would want that.
i hope to see you on i love money 2! ill be rooting for you!

Eden January 20, 2009 at 7:39 pm

Obviously Im not the first one to be completly surprised that Chance didnt pick a girl. But I was really hoping he’d pcik Cali. There seemed to be rael honest chemistry and just from watching them together I saw the love they had for one another. I have no idea why Chance didnt pick her. Its so sad. I cried myself when he said he couldnt pick her either. Ive been there and done that, and to see that happen to a sweet girl on TV breaks my heart.
