It's time to mourn Buckwild. After the jump, Buckwild talks about the accent issue, her checkered past and how she really, really hates New York.
Was doing the show a good experience for you?
It was off the hook. I had the time of my life.
It was pretty surprising that you kicked yourself out of the competition.
Yeah, well, I'm not trying to live with New York's dumb ass. There's no man in the world that I would put up with that bitch for. There's no reason. It's completely pointless. I will not put myself through that kind of torture for any man or for any situation. It's just dumb.
Was your decision to leave 100 percent because of New York?
Yes.
New York came with her claws out – do you think that leaving because of her was letting her win?
I could care less! The only goal I had was to not deal with her anymore, so in my mind, I won. I wanted to win, yeah, but the fact is that I couldn't change Flav's mind on her staying in the house and there was sure no way in hell that I was going to live with her. There could be a chance for me and Flav in the future, but there could be a chance that if I live with this bitch, I'ma go to jail, you know? Me and Flav could cross paths again someday and it don't have to be in this kind of a situation.
You were down for him?
Oh yeah, I was totally into Flav. I still have feelings. I gave him my number when I left, like, "Call me up, just don't bring the bitch with you."
Speaking of jail, you said something in your exit interview about bailing yourself out. Do you care to elaborate?
It cost $30,000 for me to get out of jail. I had to spend $10,000 for jail and $20,000 on the lawyer.
That amount of money makes it seem really serious.
Yeah. I was charged with six counts. Felonies, all kinds of stuff. I mean, it's not the first time. I've been arrested twice before. It is serious and that's why I left the situation where I left it. I'm trying to move on from that part of my life. I don't like to get in fights with people. I don't like to be violent. I don't like to go to jail. Those are not fun things to me.
So, about the accent thing: has your speech ever been picked apart this much? It seemed to be a constant issue in the house.
Constantly, I get asked where I'm from, but that's usually the end of the sentence. Never in my life have I experienced anything like what's going on right now. It's the most incredibly ridiculous thing I've ever heard of in my life. People look up the percentage of black people that were in the high school I went to. That is insane to me. I don't even know how to look that up. People are like, "Oh you try to talk black." That's so silly to me. The only reason I make jokes about being black is because other people say it. Why am I gonna let them get the joke above me? I'm a comedian. I make fun of myself. Obviously, I don't try to talk black. I don't think I'm black. I'm not mentally disturbed. People just want to put a label on stuff. It's just silly to me, but it's funny at the same time. It sure got me a lot of publicity, so…
It was kind of strange, though, when you did get upset and your diction changed a little bit.
You know, my diction didn't even change. If you listen to the words that are coming out of my mouth, they're exactly the same words I say when I'm talking, I'm just not being all Buckwild. I'm being serious. I'm trying to defend myself to Flav in that situation, right? When Flav goes into court to defend himself, do you think he goes, "Yeah, boyeeee!"? No. That's not how it goes down. He just hadn't seen me be serious before. I never got mad at anybody in the house like that before. That's how I act when I'm mad all the time.
People's dispositions change to fit the tone of the situation.
Look at Deelishis. She talks like a nice, sophisticated lady, but when she talks to Krazy she's like, "Don't make me get Detroit on your m*********in' ass," you know? But nobody's questioning that because she's black. Nibblz talks like a freakin' white person. Half the girls on there talk like a white person. Somethin' talked like a white person. But it's not about talking black or white. It's just your personality and the words you choose to use.
Like Dat maybe gave you the most problems about this. In our interview with her, though, she said, "Even though I wasn't really trusting Buckwild as being real, the one thing I did like about Buckwild is that she's really a really good and really nice person."
Yep. I am. (laughs) I agree! You could quote me.
Would you say the same about her?
I'm friends with her, I talk to her all the time. I'm friends with almost every girl on that show. I talk to Saaphyri, dog! I'm Buckwild, I love everybody, except for New York.
Well, it was great talking to you Buckwild. You're really articulate.
Oh, don't make me sound too articulate. People are gonna start thinking I'm fake again.
What's up next for Buckwild?
I'm a comedian and I'm going to be touring all over the United States. So check me out.

I have to agree with her about not putting up with New York for ANY thing, ANY man, for ANY amount of time. She's got too much to lose!

...but I also think that if her comedic skills are at the same level as her raps, she might as well stay in Rancho Cucamonga

I was soooo rooting for BuckWild. You were the greatest. Seriously, you did love everybody. One of the very few girls to not get in a fight with any of the other girls. except that bitch NY. she can rot in hell. And you know what, I totally support leaving b/c of NY. No man is worth tolerating that ho. not even Flav. You're too good for him anyway. You deserve better. Good luck in your future. All the love. XX.

We tuned in every week to see what buckwild was going to do next. You held your own against Like Dat and When Flav asked New York to stay, If any of the other ladies had any self respect for themselves, they should of followed your lead and left also. You will be missed. My wife and I both agree that you should get your own show. Good luck amd hope to see you with your own show one day. Stay Strong. Holla
P.S. Let us know when your in the New Jersey area doing your stand up comedy.

Buckwild I liked everything about u and you were one of my favorite. But I would have done the same thing because you know that ho New York woukd have gotten you in trouble. So follow your dreams and tell you the truth Flav is just using all the girls to get a quick fuck. He is not fine so I don't see why no body want his abuses ass. Hell he beat on his baby mother. That is why he went to jail so many times. But Buckwild you are still the girl!!!!!!!!!!

...the thing that bothers me about the accent issue is that it's pretty racist to say that any race has to act a certain way. If a white person were to say that all black people talk ebonics and uneducated, it would be THE SAME THING as a black person saying that all white people inherently talk proper.
Just my 2cents
Posted by: debolabon | September 15, 2006 at 02:07 PM
hey buckwild... i love you'r attitude. stay positive. just be yourself and if he can't except you for who u are, then that's what it is. and the haters... let them keep talkn', cause none of em' walkn'. keep you'r head up gurl and good luck with your future @ being a comedian. much luv
Posted by: nia | September 16, 2006 at 03:33 AM

So buckwild........if a black person is articulate that means she is talking white?
What a racist thing to say. I'm glad you are off the show.
Posted by: Akeelah | September 17, 2006 at 07:25 PM
i'm with you girl, the rest of them are dumb ass'es for staying, everyone should have left when he asked ny to stay, evidently he want her, plus he has already fucked her before, so why put yourself through that, he aint worth it, plus he ugly and abussive, you better off with off him...good luck to you and congratulations for the good sense to leave.

I also feel that BuckWild was being horribly fake and totally offensive. It seemed as if she was trying to be the comic relief in the house, wanting to ward of any type of conflict that came her way. What a punk! The show aired on national T.V. New York could'nt possibly have whooped her ass that long without the producers breaking it up. Over all, I feel Becky "buckwild" is a cool person but, very insecure about her look and herself period. Hopefully she gets the big picture soon before she really embarrasses her self as a comedianne. Love it or Leave it.
Posted by: naja | September 17, 2006 at 10:53 PM
i think new york is playin you because she want you for her self but bootz she is proper i think you need to meet her family because of new york she is hating the game so FLAVOR FLAV!!! put your pimpin hat on and think about it ?????????????????
Posted by: slim | September 18, 2006 at 11:12 PM
Thank god this fake bitch got kicked off she looks and acted so stupid she needs to be her self She left because she new her retarded ass was going to get kicked off on next elimination
Posted by: louisa | September 19, 2006 at 04:37 PM
Buckwild was cool, but it still annoys me that everyone refers to her "ebonics" or hood slang...whatever...as "acting black". Its like saying black people just can't speak properly. So, what, does that mean speaking properly make you white? This would make the further assumption that only white people speak proper english. Hood is hood, it isnt a color. For this reason, I have to had agreed with NY when she said Buckwild sounded ignorant. Because she does. And if a black/hispanic/asian/eskimo person spoke like that, Id say they sounded ignorant too. Still, I liked Buckwild and was very impressed when I saw Flav sporting her clock.
Posted by: joe mck | September 20, 2006 at 01:27 AM
Although the way you spoke doesnt make you an a bad person,but it does make you look a little off. You are a white girl,honey. Keep that in mind. I was sorry to see you go but you did what you needed to do and thats what is important. I would have done the same thing but left alot sooner. lol. Flav isnt all that anyway and when he had NY stay,if it didnt work the first time,what makes him think that its going to work a second time. Somebody needs to wake the hell up and stop being stupid.And besides that,hes FUGLY anyway. You did the right thing.
Posted by: Kandi | September 24, 2006 at 09:25 PM
I think that Buckwild was pretty cool and Im glad that she left when she did. I mean if I was there and FLav asked NY to stay,I would have left too! She is a ROYAL BITCH who needs to get the Hell out. Also, Flav IS NOT that good looking. He isnt worth fighting over, thats for damn sure! The only thing that he has going for him,is his money and I still wouldnt fight over him for that either. He uses women and spits them out. Good luck to you Buckwild and keep it real girl.

Buckwild,
I personally loved u and as far as the accent i don't think u were fake i went to school with a white guy that because he grew up around nothing but black folks in the hood he just picked up the terminology, etc. I lived in Alaska for 5 yrs asnd didn't realize until i came back to the south that i had pick up a northern accent - No Biggie, however blsack friends and family started calling me a "Oreo" although I know i'm black and extremely proud of it, now to me they were the ignorant ones. Stay cool sistah, and yes i said sistah, I have sistahs in all colors as long as they respect. If more people felt the way u do we wouldn't have so much racism in this country. Much love.

Buckwild was great on the "Flavor of Love2" series, but I think she would be better off with Mr. Boston of the "I Love New York" series instead. However, if she doesn't get with Mr. Boston, then Pumpkin of "Flavor of Love1" series should get with him instead if he or either of them isn't hooked up already! That'll may be alot of strange love, though...
