Lost Interview: Natalie Nunn

Until Mid January 2010, I was an online columnist for the Baltimore Times Newspaper bmoreentertained.blogspot.com but due to financial issues, not that they paid me my column went to the back burner. Before and after the mix up, I interviewed a few celebrities and I will be including those interviews and stories.

In January, I interviewed Bad Girl Natalie Nunn and I asked her about a few things including Rihanna, Chris Brown, her image, and if she's really a gold digger. FYI: I interviewed her a little before the halfway point of the season so I didn't get to the juicier stuff. Enjoy!!

VII Mag: Why did you want to be on this show?

Natalie Nunn: Honestly, I auditioned for it because I knew some of the things would fit my personality and it was like signing up to be in a sorority. I wanted to see if I really had the bad girl in me.

VII Mag: Is the Natalie on Bad Girls Club the real Natalie or a show Natalie?

Natalie:
It was definitely for entertainment. I have a big personality. I can be extremely funny, I can obviously put on a great show, and I have a enough energy to pop off a TV screen. It's not scripted but it's a TV show. Any situation where a camera is in your face, is not going to be realistic. I don't care what anybody says, it's not normal to have a camera in your face 24 hours a day for four months. So, it's entertainment. (Laughter)

VII Mag: Have you spoken to Portia since your fight and what really happened with that situation?

Natalie: When they cast for people for this show, they look for people who are like night and day. When they cast me, they were like "Natalie's a go-getter, she's about her money and she's not afraid to tell the world she's about her money." Then they go out and cast a girl like Portia who struggles to be a single parent a woman who is okay with living a regular lifestyle. She wants to live comfortable and I want to live over the top, going on vacations every week. So we're completely different. Words were exchanges both ways and I feel like I got the blunt end of the stick. People were like "you shouldn't talk about people's daughters" but in my eyes, I was talking about her character. I was saying she was a bad mom and I guess in some people's eyes, I doesn't equal up to her calling me a slut and a whore. In my eyes, I don't have kids and the things she said about me was tarnishing my character, so saying she was a bad mom was tarnishing her character. We just didn't see eye to eye in anything. That was the Portia situation.

VII Mag: Let's talk about Annie for a moment. Why was she on the show and what was her character, and what was your impression of her?

Natalie: (laughing) To be honest, the producers of the show are brilliant. The first episode with me coming in the house and meeting Annie, we're the exact opposite. I'm very strong and constructive personality and Annie's the quiet and humble girl. Us being roommates for four months is brilliant. It's good to have Annie in the house because if we had a bunch of Portia's, Natalie's and Flo's everyone would be going home every week. I respect her character because my character bounces off of Annie and that built me up even more. People think all I do is pick on Annie and they find it hilarious. They like the Annie and Natalie situation.

VII Mag: were the other girls cast around you?

Natalie: I was the first person cast. I didn't know who the other girls would be. I never met them. Some of them found out the week before (the show started) but I knew four months before.

VII Mag: what is your impression of your cast mates now?

Natalie: I only get along with Kendra. It's not because she's a follower and a little Natalie but because in real life she's like the girls I hang out with. When people say, "is this show real?" I'm like, how could it be real? In real life, I don't know these girls and I wouldn't live in a random mansion with these girls. I would never hang out with girls like them outside the mansion and only person I deal with now is Kendra. I'm not fighting with the rest of them but they're not people I know.

VII Mag: what was Olamide's (Natalie's then boyfriend of six years) reaction to the show?

Natalie: he obviously didn't like the idea of the show and he's the most important thing in my life. It was extremely difficult to break up with him on the show. We're still on talking terms but it doesn't mesh well when you're on a reality TV show because of male fans and club appearances. I care about him a lot but it would be extremely bad for my career if we were together.

VII Mag: You were in the news for Chris Brown, what went down with him and do you feel as though you were out of line for speaking about the Rihanna situation? (Natalie was seen on an early episode of the show making controversial remarks about Rihanna)

Natalie: I said that I felt it was inappropriate to say what I said about the situation. The way they cut and edit reality shows there was so much more that was said before that. No one will understand a reality show unless they are on one. It's extremely hard to get on a reality show. No one will understand how the conversation escalated to that. I sent my condolences to Rihanna and her party. It was extremely rude what I said but I don't take it back because it sparked a lot of plugs for me. I don't condone domestic violence from a guy or a guy but I have my reasons to believe why what happened, happened. I've heard a different side of the
