The Celebreality Interview - New York Opens Up

Ny_recapinterview2

Part 2 of our I Love New York wrap-up interview series features our girl talking about rocking synthetic hair, the price of fame and that on-air bust up with radio personality Miss Jones.

Before we really get into it, I wonder if you have anything to say about what went down with Miss Jones last month on the radio, when she hung up on you after accusing you of lying about college.

I'm glad we're gonna address that. First of all, Miss Jones doesn't appeal to me in any type of way. I don't have any respect for her. She's very angry. She's very nasty. She was asking me very personal questions about myself and I wasn't going to answer her honestly, because I felt like she wasn't really interested in my life. She was trying to attack me. So, of course, I just played with her. And her being a radio personality, she knew I wasn't being honest. I didn't care, I knew I had to get through that interview and remain professional. But I will say this: I think she's a fat, bitter bitch.

Very early on, it seemed clear that she was out to give you a hard time.

And I was having a great day! I wasn't going to let anyone ruin my morning. You can only push my buttons if I allow you to, and I didn't allow her to push my buttons. She would have loved to have gotten into it with me. Who wouldn't want to get into it with me? That could have boosted her career that never went anywhere. She was an aspiring singer that never did anything. Miss Jones sucks. She gained about 80 lbs. She looks terrible.

Well, to your credit, you were completely composed throughout.

Shocking, huh?

Speaking of that, one of my favorite New York moments of all time is when you announced to the world that you were wearing synthetic hair and worried about whether it would catch fire via the hot air balloon.

Now let me clear that up before people think I only wear synthetic hair. I wore synthetic hair for that particular day because I wanted my hair big and curly. If synthetic hair is treated, you can get it really curly and it'll stay that way, whereas human hair can fall limp.

We've talked before about how you avoid the Internet, and specifically, discussions that go down about you. Are you just not curious, or what?

I'm definitely curious. I have a friend helping me out with the MySpace thing because it can get really overwhelming. But, you know, sometimes I do go to it when I have a free moment and I read the comments. People can really, really let out their emotions through the Internet. It's a powerful tool. I can tell from the things that I've heard, either from what people tell me or what I've seen myself, there's a lot of extreme emotions. There's a lot of love and a lot of hate. It's just a lot of feedback. But that's all positive, you know. If I had a dollar for everybody who talked s*** about me or talked nasty about me, I'd be a billionaire. With the Internet, you have the power to be very cruel or very loving, while all the while, hiding behind your keyboard. A lot of people talk s*** about people's appearances and the things they say, but I like to think that those are the people sitting home, like, 400 lbs. overweight with curlers in their hair, looking like s***. I mean, tore up from the floor up. No lives.

Can we talk about your plastic surgery?

(Cackles) Well, you know it's enhancement. You can be very, very self-conscious and get plastic surgery done, but you can also have high self esteem and be confident and get it done. And that's me. You know, my boobs needed help. When I was younger, they were perky and they stood up, and now that I'm 25, they were drooping a little bit. I wanted them a little bit more round, more plush and pillow-like, so I went and got me a set of 38 DDs.

Do you think you'll continue to get it?

Well, I'm only 25 years young, but definitely if I get a little older. I don't think I'm going to get wrinkles, my mom looks incredible, but if there's a need for some Botox here and there in the forehead, or if there's something else I want to tweak, yeah. I'll do it. It's basically improving on the model, I think.

Will you be tuning in for Charm School?

I will definitely tune in. I think it's going to be hilarious to watch such ghetto trash trying to evolve into ladies. It's going to be fun to watch Mo'Nique. I really like her and I can't wait to watch her shape these girls into something that society can say, "OK, they have a teeny weensy bit of class" about. That's going to be hilarious.

What's the most difficult part of being New York?

People always ask, "New York and Tiffany the same person?" But that's me. I would do what I do if I were around 20 guys or not, if the cameras were there or not. There's no acting involved. There's not something I'm trying to achieve or live up to. There are no emotions I have to convey. It's just boom: here's 20 men, live it up. So that's easy. The only thing that's a little trying at times is the fame. I get noticed whether I want to or not. I'm an extremely private and controlling person. There are days when I want to floss and flaunt my success. "Yes, yes, yes. I am New York." But then there are days when I gotta go get my prescription filled or get a gallon of milk and I'm just wearing my shades, and I don't want to be recognized. If I'm having a bad day, I can't show it, and that's crazy to me. I could have had a heated discussion on the phone and then I leave the house and hear, "Hey, girl!" And then I gotta show love, and that part sucks. Sometimes I go into stores and I have to leave before I can get what I went in there for, because the response is so hectic.

Does that make you regret your career choices?

No. This comes with the territory. I'd rather have my bad days and fight through the crowds then to not have a crowd at all. The fans support the show. They love me, they hate me. They're passionate about I Love New York. At the end of the day, you have to thank them because they are the ones who matter.

How I feel about your behavior is no different than what I feel when the lil Hoods in my town act like you. I mean you 25 time to grow up. Stop acting like and refering to yourself as a B*tch. Think about what the word means....now what self respecting woman in her right mind really wants to be thought of as a four legged dirty dog. Do you like your own butt? after taking a dump. That's what dogs do they eat food lick they butts and then eat some more.
And then you want men to respect you....naw playa. Just like you don't respect a man who you would refer to as a dog....they don't respect you.
Just so you know....I'm not 400 lbs and I am well I'm cute as hell.

Keeesh

Girl,I love the show!! But,I really feel that you wear too much makeup.Tone it down a little. You're young,you don't need to wear a lot of makeup.

Madison

I have said it before and i must stress this again. NY has many personalities and because of this we should not judge them lol for their ways. Her mother is to blame how dare she protray to be a up lifting christian and allow her daugter and them lol to make such an ass of not only herself but her family. I like one of your personalities NY because she dont take no shit but cut down the drama. And tiffany the crying acts are funny as hell. take the money you get and spend it wise. For you and your mom to talk so much shit about people you two or should i say you four cause you have three personalitiesl; should look in the mirror.

Jay

Just Curious,
With all of the money that New York has earned now, could somebody please explain to me why she has not purchased better weaves and wigs for both her and her mother. Life is too short and unfortunately, I dont have a big screen to support all of Sis. Patterson's 4-5 head !!!!!

ug

hey,i love the show,it helps me relax when i am done with the days work.My advise to newyork is pls choose chance cos tango is damn to fake.u can just see right thru him,but chance i think is keeping it real.
anyways goodluck in ur choice tho,cos only u know how u feel

Gold D

All I wanna say is, is dat I don't like New York at all! She is a straight drama queen and she dumb ass hell! If Flav didn't pick u the first time y would u think he would pick u the second! He saw u as an easy lay and u fell for it each time! Dats y u ain't get chose dumb ass! Another thing, u feel u can just talk to anybody any kind of way, well boo u Wrong! If I was on dat show wit u I would have beat the breaks off yo cool ass just like delicious and hoopz was gonna do! Dats how we do n da "D" baby! Stay off T.V. cuz u and ya mama ain't sumthing I wanna see on my screen! Get at me if u need to!

Gold D

O yea choose Tango cuz u don't deserve Chance, well actually u do cuz he got dat thug in him and u like dat right? Maybe u will piss him off and he haul off and slap yo ugly azz and ya mama! And please stay out the high heels boo if yo pigeon-toed azz can't walk in them! Stick to flats dear! U also wear to much make-up and ya clothes is umm... NO! I feel bad 4 ya dad, cuz he cool than a mutha, but ya mama is a straight Bee-Yatch, now I see where u get it from! I hate to be this way and I'm not, but u pushed me there, I see potential for a nice young woman but u didn't qualify, a nice woman would not gap her legs open on national t.v. and constantly show her nasty ass, and then u sleep and kiss everybody! Ugh! Get it together my sister because you don't represent the black sisters well, hell not even the rest of the ethnics! Find you some Jesus and find him fast! Peace!

Shaun

I am very highly educated, attractive, Corporate America, black female on the hustle and I want to say NY, even though it's a little different than mine, I respect your hustle. Keep doing your thing, sister. Shake those haters off. And from the words of 50 "...if they hate, let 'em' hate and watch the money pile up." Good luck, and stay strong.

Karen

NY, don't listen to the haters. If people didn't love you, they wouldn't watch your show. Someone's always got something to say about this weave or that forehead, but when it comes down to it, they talk shit because they're jealous. Enjoy these moments.

kelly from philly

new york all i gotta say is pic that sexy ass thug chance. he'll make your life exciting and fun. you should have kept whiteboy around though he prob. would have been a good man. if you don't want chance i'll take him

Tango's boo

You know, after watching the show for this long, New York/Tiffany, and talkin' some of the shit that I was talkin' in my previous, you're starting to grow on me. Even though it's likely that you'll end up picking my man Tango. You're show entertains me and I get giddy when I know that a new episode will soon air on television. From reading your interviews, I find sometimes that there are sparks of maturity, ready to blaze but yet there's still that little girl aura that remains. Don't get me wrong, some of the shit that comes out of you and your mother's mouthes is funny as hell and I sometimes have to keep from falling on my ass from laughing. Anyways, I think that one day you'll get sick of all the drama and realize that there's more to life than that bullshit. Life can be just as exciting without it. Finally, my advice to you would be, don't (continue to) let anyone exploit you and get rich off that shit. I don't care if it's you're own mother. Keep growing and remember to always seek truth in life.

Peace

T-Cute

New York.. Were do I begin my sista..Well for starters.. I was feelin you in some weird way when you was on flava-flav's show cuz I thought if he had of picked you from the door he might have been happy and wouldn't have to do it a second time..But now that I see how you treat these guys.. I am happy you didn't end up with his monkey ass.. But anyway back to you! First off you aint that damn cute to be talkin about NOBODY's ex hunny.. Second I think you made a HUGE mistake letting white boy go..4real if you don't want him .. Give me his number.. I don't usually date white boys.. But that PLEASE BELIEVE ME! And as far as tango goes..He is so ugly and so is ya mother by the way....

Jessica

I am not one to talk trash on people but I do state facts and my opinions. New York, you need to stop wearing too much make up. They are comparing you to one of the muppets for pete's sake on mediatakeout.com and if you are really trying to find true love on this show. You should stop kissing every damn body. Ain't a man going to fall in love with someone after watching her kiss every other man in the damn house. As for your mom, she is very controlling. You are 25 years old why do you need your mother helping you choose a man? For a strong christian woman, shouldn't she be against this kind of behavior on the show. I sure know my momma would beat the brakes off my ass if i was lowering myself and kissing a bunch of men i never even met before. cmon girl be a lady. it's not that hard.

EMERALD

You go New York. I think that you should pick Chance
for your man. That leaves Tango for me!!!!!!

Jennifer

Tiffany or New York however you want it!! Girl first and formost I think you additude is the bomb and you conduct yourself and a professional mannaner don't listen to the haters they madd cuz they not NY anyway your moms is the funniest person I ever seen the things that be coming out her mouth her hilarious and she needs her own show. Keep it going girl. Ilove the show. Plese pick chance.!!!!

Jennifer

First of all, everyone out there is hating on NY and her mother. How dear ya disrespect someone's mom no matter how rude or ugly you may feel she is that is someones mother and if that was your mother how would you feel. Second of all NY don't need to change her style, personality, aura, makeup, clothing, etc for anyone. If she feels comfortable in what she wears and act like who r u to say anything. This is the reason y the black community is all fucked up right now cuz everyone has something to say about someone else instead of trying to feed the homeless or stop this dumb ass war or educated our black children you sitting here worrying bout how someone acts or looks on tv. GET IT TOGETHER BLACK PEOPLE!!!!! Peace out

Maya

Yo whats up New York. Why is tango ugly behind still on the show? You know Real was right when he said tango look like the Ninja Turtles. How Donatello doing anyway? Anyway if you pick Tango you is crazy. He don't really love you. I hope you know that right. But who am I tell you who to pick. Only thing I can say is go with your heart. But if you don't want Kamal(chance) I'll take him. I love ya show and keep being you. Pick the thug not the scrub.
