June 5, 2007 Bootz Tells It Like It Is!
In a recent interview with Essence Magazine, Larissa Aurora aka Bootz let it be known how she feels about Shay, her ups and downs with Mo and the stereotypes encouraged by the show.
Here’s what she had to say:
First of all, Shay and I are not friends. In fact, I don’t even know her and the only reason Shay told everyone she was my friend was because she knows my fan base is large. So she figured, let me hang with Bootz because she’d get more screen time. There were a lot of things cut out of the episode that proved that Shay had a problem with me. If she was my friend, why would you try to clown me during the debate team challenge and the Leilene situation?
The only thing I can say about Mo’Nique is that she doesn’t see everything that goes on in the house, but our strained relationship was another reason I left. And let’s be clear, I left the show, I didn’t get eliminated. If judging was really based on the competition, then I passed my competition so why was I on the carpet? Mo’Nique had too much pride to congratulate me on doing a great interview with “New York”.
The people that say the show is degrading to Black women still watch it and help boost ratings. When they stop watching then they’ll stop airing these shows and they won’t have anything to complain about. They talk about us worse than the video vixens, but I know that’s because the show is such a huge success. People are way too hard on the shows when they should be focusing on whatever else is going on in the world.
How do you think she felt about not wining those 50Gs? Here it is straight from the camel’s mouth:
I didn’t care if I won the money or not because 50 Grand isn’t a lot of money to me. Every other girl made winning that 50 Grand their life. Honestly, I don’t know how the other girls are used to living, but I’m used to better things and I’m not easily influenced by money. I have other goals in my life and I know how to make money other ways.

Is she out of her mind? 50K isn’t a lot of money? This bitch was probably working at Mc Donalds before this, who’s she kidding. None of these bitches will be remembered once their 15 minutes are up.

Ah, Larissa and her little problem with lying. She even convinces herself that her lies are true. Her policy: deny, deny, deny. Nobody’s hanging with her because she has any star power or money. Hell, she even still lives with (and off of) her mother, and it’s not like she’s living at home to take care of anyone, or because she’s doing something besides being a skank. If would be different if she were going to law school, med school, or working on an application to Howard.
I can’t *believe* that Essence wasted time on her dull-witted ass when there are so many other accomplished, smart, and together women of all ages they could have interviewed. That’s disappointing. My question is why they chose to interview her vs. Shay who showed some integrity, or Darra who is working her butt off to take care of her folks?
