The Celebreality Interview – Jaguar

rayj2_6_29

Luscious announced that she was celibate on the first episode of For the Love of Ray J 2, but it was Jaguar who emerged with the reputation for being the most prudish. Below, she talks about unaired kisses with Ray, behaving herself in front of the cameras, beef with Heartbreaker and why she’s ultimately OK with her portrayal.

How was your time on the show?

I had fun. I wouldn’t change anything that I did. I’d do it all over again if I had to.

It seems like the fact that you wouldn’t kiss Ray was a major roadblock for him. Was that how you experienced it?

It’s funny, because we actually did kiss a couple of times on our dates, but they didn’t show that.

Really? Like, full-on kissing?

We kissed. It wasn’t down the throat or anything, but we did have our cute romantic moments. I just feel like Ray had his favorites in the house, and he, I guess, wanted to see even more from me. I think it stemmed from the first date. He gathered that I had a wall up, and it was hard to prove to him that it was still OK to flirt with me. I think that wall was hard for him.

You didn’t think that you were one his favorites? You had four dates with him…

In the house, he was automatically drawn to about three of the girls, and no matter what was going on in the house, he was like a magnet to them. We all saw it. Now that I’m watching, though, I realize that he was a little more into me than I thought.

All of that said, you do admit that you were relatively reserved, right?

To an extent. I wasn’t the loudest or the most touchy-feely person in the house, but that’s kinda how I am. I open up slowly.

Was there any element of playing hard to get in there?

It probably looked like it, but I really wasn’t playing. I was trying to be myself. Being in the house, we’re already thrown into this situation where it’s do-or-die. You have to do things for the show that you wouldn’t normally do. I think I was so stuck in trying to prove that I can still be me and win this competition, I was so stuck in trying to not do anything crazy, that it made it seem like I was playing a game.

So you were aware of how your behavior might translate to TV?

I was very aware. I wanted to be outgoing, but at the same time I didn’t want to go overboard. You have to go home and watch this, and your parents have to watch it. That was always on my mind.

You told Ray before you were eliminated that you were “trying to make this something real.” What was that in response to?

It was in response to what I was seeing in the house. A lot of people were playing a game. They were putting on a show for the cameras. I was trying to show Ray: forget the cameras, I’m trying to get to know you. I wasn’t out to feel on him in the hot tub and then forget about him. I didn’t want to be another Cocktail: go through the motions, and then we don’t end up as anything. I wasn’t there for fun – I wanted to make something out of it.

What did you think of Ray coming away from the show?

I get it. I can see where he would think that I was just being withdrawn for no reason. When I first got eliminated, I was mad. I felt like he was choosing fun over something real. But I always respected his choice. He likes what he likes.

There was an extra that featured you getting into it with Heartbreaker. What was that all about?

Lava called the house and made up some conversation between us that I was there for my career. The whole house was talking about it, but it was Heartbreaker who went to Ray to tell him that. She said I was there for my career and always singing. Just making me sound real bad. I finally talked to Ray and he told me, “You might want to handle that.” I confronted her, and it turned into this big old thing. She really pissed me off for forming an opinion on some he said/she said.

Are you pursuing singing as a career?

I am now. That stems from the show. After the challenge on this week’s show, Brandy took me to the side and told me, “Jaguar, you should really pursue this and think about doing this for real.” Because that came from Brandy, a legend, when I got home, I thought, “You know, I’m just gonna do it. Full out.” I have a single coming out, “Neighbors.” It’s on my MySpace.

It’s interesting that the exposure issue caused a fight, when your career might still end up benefiting from you being on the show.

Right. As much as Heartbreaker tried to tear me down, it ended up helping me in a sense. People are more aware of my singing now.

Is there anything else you wanted to talk about that we didn’t cover?

At first I was mad at how they were making me look really goofy and awkward, but I’m satisfied with it now. I laugh at it. I’m happy the way I was edited. Looking back on the episodes, I’m glad I left the way I did.

Keep up with Jaguar via her MySpace and follow her on Twitter.

These girls kill me getting mad because they heard that another was there for her career. Um…hello!! ALL OF YOU ARE THERE FOR YOUR CAREER, TO MAKE A NAME FOR YOURSELF AND MONEY!! These chicks need to stop faking and acting like they want to be with Ray J. Hell even he don’t want to seriously be with whoever he chose. And that Frank show I know is going to be severely fake as hell because what real woman wants to be with a 30+ man still living in his parents basement?!?!?! How lame is that?!?!

Rach December 11, 2009 at 1:21 pm

I listened to her new single. Not only is it God-awful, vulgar, and totally unlike her TV persona, it shows absolutely none of her talent. Heartbreaker is probably getting a good laugh right now– this exposure isn’t going to get her anywhere. If anything, after her reality club tour type appearances dry up, she’ll be left with less of a career.

dwayne December 12, 2009 at 5:17 am

My girl Jaguar stood her ground and I’m proud she turned Ray J down. Yo, don’t forget to check out Jaguar’s new single “Neighbors” and holla at her on Twitter. Jaggy Jag, if you’re reading this ya boy http://www.twitter.com/swagsosick24. I’m proud of you Boo. You did me proud. Don’t change who you are from nothing. You’re da bomb mami. I’ll get at you on Twitter as usual. Holla.

Mrs.T December 12, 2009 at 6:22 pm

Um…Hello!!!! Sorry your wrong about everyone wanting to be there for a career or money. JR is so sexy!!!Even If he wasn’t a. singer,actor, and wonderful artist and he was walking down the street I would try to get to know him and see what he was about!!! He is a real eye catcher!!! I wouldn’t even have to be in the spot light at all, I would be content with being JRs #1 lady that is added to his support system!!!!It does help that he does have something going for himself and is a successful MAN that you can respect!!! As far as him not wanting whomever he choose I don’t think that HE SHOULD PLAY WITH PEOPLES HEART and EMOTIONS!!! I think that is that emotional wall of not knowing who is there for HIM (JR)!! Your intuition and heart does not Lie!!! You will KNOW!!! So really the question Is, Is Ray Really ready to LOVE!!!!! And if so What type of WOMAN do he want??? Does she have to be a Star and have lots of Money? Do you want to have someone that is your friend,your freak,and your Women or just someone that is your freak and party girl.Well I’ll end by saying (The desire of a man is his kindness: and a poor man is better than a liar), (Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favour of THE LORD).

Shout out to Jaguar! the most dangerous cat in the wild, and look out for her music, she really can sing, i thought she was just roar hard! lol

Cherryblossom December 12, 2009 at 8:21 pm

You were too “real” for the show Jaguar and that is why you were eliminated. Out of all the girls, I felt that your connection with Ray J was there even if he really didn’t want to see it. When ya’ll sang together, it was beautiful. Connection is not always shared in just a kiss. And good for you for not letting him kiss you. Girl it’s no tellin’ where his mouth has been (it’s alot of spit swappin’ goin’ on in that show). You maintained who you are and never compromised that. Continue to do so and you will be sucessful. Good luck in your singing career.

Big Red December 14, 2009 at 1:11 am

I wouldn’t have kissed him at all! After watching him kiss all those other women, its silly to think about, but cooties exist! Why would wanna kiss somebody behind all those other lips. The whole thing made Ray J look bad. What kind of man doesn’t know how to tell if a girl is feeling him unless she’s kissing on him. We all should’ve known where his mind was at after he kept luscious on the show…she smashed a homie!

karla PUERTO RICO December 14, 2009 at 9:34 pm

i believe that RAY J HAS COMMITED A MISTAKE BY ELIMINATING JAGUAR. SHE WAS CLASSY, WITH VALUES AND DIFFERENT FROM THE OTHERS. SHE IS NOT IMMATURE LIKE EXOTICA HEARTBREAKER, EXTRA, CALIENTE. ALSO SHE IS NOT INTEREST IS RAY J MONEY LIKE LUSCIOUS. BE CAREFUL RAY SHE PRESENTING AN IMAGE OF WHAT SHE IS NOT.

I AM SURE THAT RAY J IS AN “ENTERTAINER”, AND HE IS NOT TRYING TO FIND LOVE. I KNOW THAT IN 2010 WE ALL ARE GOING TO SEE RAY J 3. HE IS 34 YEARS OLD, HE NEED TO SETTLE DOWN AND STOP DATING IMMATURE GIRLS THAT ARE TRYING TO SEXUAL TO ATRACT HIM. HE NEEDS TO KNOW THAT SOME WOMEN USE THAT TECHNIQUE TO CONFUSED MEN. RAY BE INTELLIGENT ENFATUATION, HORMONES, SECUALITY PASS WITH THE TIME WHAT REMAINS IS LOVE NAD GOOD FEELINGS. BE SMART, DO NOT CONTINUE TO BE IN A CYCLE OF NOT WORTHY WOMEN. IF YOU REALLY ARE HERE FOR LOVE, YOU SHOULD BRING JAGUAR BACK,AND VALUE THIS REAL VALUABLE WOMAN. MISS BERRY IS A GOOD WOMAN, TRY TO KNOW HER BETTER.

BE A MAN, THINK WITH USE YOUR KNOWLEDGE AND HEART NOT YOUR HORMONES OR SEXUALITY.

WISHING YOU THE BEST,
KARLA PUERTO RICO

ms.thang December 15, 2009 at 5:17 pm

……he made a terrible mistake getting rid of Jag. But judging by who is still there..hes not looking for a woman..he wanta a girlfriend.

marquetta December 15, 2009 at 6:02 pm

i think that she was real and ray j made a bad choise because at the end of the day he would have been with her one of the girls he have on the show looks like she going to kill somebody and the rest is just FAKE and ray j what u need to do is go try and make it work with jagura….and extra looks like shes just there foe the money!!!

cece johnson December 21, 2009 at 11:16 pm

First of all, Ray J is a brown bag loser. He’ll never do better than Kim K. and unfortunately Jaguar was his next best chance at love. I guess after chucking her from season 2 he deserves whatever ghetto trash skank that’s leftover. I honestly believe part of the show should include STD testing for him and the contestants. Most entertaining is that he invites season 1 baby mama (Danger) back to cast judgment on the next (season 2) baby mama – which is sure to come. It’s so bad it’s good. I cant stop watching the For the love of Ray J train wreck. Just wich he’d stop whispering at every elimination ceremony. NOTE: NOT SEXY Ray J. PS- Wrap it up!

shaknbak480 February 1, 2010 at 9:37 am

I’m pretty sure Ray J elimintated her cuz he was pissed off that he is supposed to be some hot celebrity and she wasn’t tryin to be all over him every 2 seconds like the other girls.. Can anyone say bruised ego?

Courtney February 8, 2010 at 3:38 pm

I was so impressed with you until I saw you on the reunion today. I lost so much respect for you. I couldn’t believe you offered yourself to Ray J like you did. Unreal. The only true one with class is Mz Berry and to think I was mad when they elimated you. Your’e not special. Your just like the rest.

Courtney February 8, 2010 at 3:40 pm

Can anyone say NOTHING SPECIAL! Watch her on the reunion and see if you think she’s all that then.
