Deelishis, who is the winner of the second season of Flavor of Love, recently sat down with BET.COM to talk about random topics regarding the show….
BET.com: Congrats on your win! How are you feeling?
Deelishis: I’m feeling great. I am involved with the greatest guy and his name is William Drayden! We’ve been separated for four months. Contractually, we could not be seen in public together and that was hard. But I wrote a lot of letters, sent him pictures, and we talked on the phone. He was on his tour with Public Enemy and I did promos with King…, so we had other things going on in our lives to keep us occupied. But now it’s finally over. Today is the beginning of our courtship without 19 other women in the picture.
BET.com: Your feelings for Flav sound so genuine, yet many viewers can’t picture you, or anybody for that matter, having real feelings for him.
Deelishis: My feelings are genuine, and I really don’t care to explain it. People will hopefully see a wonderful outcome and eventually come to see it for themselves. It’s real.
BET.com: How did you feel when you heard Flav tell New York he loved her?
Deelishis: We recognized he loved her when he wanted her back on the show. He’s a person who is easy to love, so it’s easy for him to love. When I heard him say that, I was confused. I thought it was the end, but they had history and that love may have been a respect thing.
BET.com: Did you feel bad for her when she lashed out at Flav?
Deelishis: No, she was a tad bit extra for me. I never witnessed a true moment for her until that moment. You would never see New York pull her weave behind her ear. That was the only time she was real. She was humiliated.
BET.com: Were you upset to find out that New York and Flav slept together?
Deelishis: During the Belize trip, yeah, I was upset because I thought my connection with him was crazy. But prior to that point, it was whatever. I wasn’t sleeping with him, so maybe he just wanted to get his rocks off.
In the end, I won. And If he didn’t pick me, I would have thought it was all for TV.
BET.com: OK, Sweetlikhoney wants to know, “How [did] you keep cool without kicking New York’s ass?”
Deelishis: Knowing eventually a reunion would come. My focus was on Flav. When we made it to Belize, I was tired of fighting. I chilled, prayed and enjoyed the scenery. I was preparing for what could have been one of the most devastating days of my life.
BET.com: Lagrette asks, “Will you be making any calendars for the holiday season?”
Deelishis: I have been offered, but you can find me in Big Tigga’s Kittens 2007 – 2008, Flawless Edition. But I’m really interested in doing a calendar with Flav’s kids and my daughter. Something like the Brady Bunch, but the Flavor Bunch. There are enough of us to cover every month.
BET.com: Gclaybon asks, “I have scars like you and it messes with my confidence level. How do you keep your confidence high?”
Deelishis: There’s something about my personality that’s far more compelling than my scars. I’ve never had to deal with anyone ever making me feel bad about that in my 28 years. I wasn’t self-conscious until recently with the show. I’ve read some of the cruelest things in those blogs.
It wasn’t until now that I find myself covering it up. And I’m going to have to check myself on that. My scars have never defined me. I define them. It’s all about who you are. You can’t worry about things you can’t change or control.
BET.com: Valerie2003 asks, “Will you take care of all of Flav’s kids?”
Deelishis: They’re a rainbow of beautiful personalities. I’m all about that. I’m not trying to run his life, replace their mother or anything. I just want to be there for them.
BET.com: Obviously you know, Hoopz was Flav’s season one pick…. However, they’re not together now. Flav said she didn’t have time for him. How will you avoid that from happening with you?
Deelishis: I’m going to have an adult conversation with him, not to say she did not, but I handle myself differently. Flav is big now and that’s great. He’s going to be very busy. His album drops on Oct. 31, and he’s going to be on tour.
Look, when good things come to people you love, you should support them. I want to support him, and I want him to support me. These opportunities are just stepping stones for us to do great, exciting things together.
BET.com: So, what type of opportunities will you accept? You stated you were not interested in becoming a model; however, you do have a Web site.
Deelishis: I’ve been a part of EyeCandyModeling for several years. I’m not a model. I’m not receiving checks like Tyra Banks or Iman. And have you seen my ass? People use the word “model” too loosely. Do I promote myself? Yes. Take it for what it is. I’m not going to walk on nobody’s catwalk, and I’m not interested in videos. I enjoy taking pictures. Calvin Klein would never hire me. He would tell me to go on the treadmill first.
BET.com: Are there any misconceptions or rumors you’d like to clear up?
Deelishis: I AM a woman. The first time I read that, I didn’t know how to feel. It cut deeply. It cut like a knife and more importantly I have a daughter. I’ve been through things only a woman can go through, so for someone to strip my God-given abilities, it hurt. When we were adolescents we all went through torment because kids are cruel. I didn’t expect to go through this now. It was heartbreaking.
But, I held my head up. I was born a woman and I will die a woman.
BET.com: Will you ever remove your scars?
Deelishis: No, I won’t remove them, and it is very expensive. Plus, if I treat them, my doctor said that there’s no guarantee that they’ll go away and stay away. Like I said, no one really cared until now, but I’m good.
BET.com: What would you like your fans to know about Flav?
Deelishis: He’s awesome. There’s no other word to describe him.

Cute girl but gross for wanting Flav!
I sooooooooooooo agree w/ you i was ganging when they made out
I like her even more after reading this. I’m glad Flav picked her and she is beautiful with or without the scars.
I’m a lil confused, why does flav pic them and then don’t stay with them. What ever happened to Hoopz? Because Deelish sound like she is looking forward to a true relationship.
Love is blind.
I am glad she won.
New York was very dramatic and she i know was only brought back for tv because everyone wanted to see how she begin.
again*
I could not imagine kissing…even worse fucking Flav! Ewwwwwww! OMG! Just looking at Flav gives me DPS…Dry Pussy Syndrome!
She seems like a very sincere person. I’m glad that he picked her
I dont think it will last. I think it has lasted this long because she wanted to prove to people that she was not in it just for fame. I think she just wanted to beat New York at. New York really does love him. Thats who he should have picked.
Delishus is going to do to him what Hoops did and that is leave his charcoal skillet ass and then we will be seeing her everywhere.
THe scars never bothered me and I feel bad that she’s self-concious about them now. People can be so cruel sometimes. But anyway, I love Deelishis and I’m glad he picked her.
i am glad she was picked to.deelishis you do seem down to earth. and make new york matter then she already is.
She seems really cool and down to earth, but did yall see the pic of her baby dad, he old as hell.
I hope everyone gets what they want out of doing these shows…
lol @ mika………DPS………girl you hit the nail on the head……..dellishis is not genuine………this bitch got a site..londoncharles.com with her in the shower naked showing off her lumpy ass……….and before any of yall jump on me why would she have a site like this is she wants to have a relationship with flavor flav
New York was only there for the publicity. She’s the new Flavorette. Vh1 has given her her own spin off of Flavor of Love it’s almost finished filming they’ll be done in a week. I don’t think she really loved Flav, by the time she came back they had already talked to her about her own show so she KNEW from the beginning when they brought her back that she wasn’t gonna win.
Good for you Deelishis to each his own. Great attitude toward life Flav may have found his real Flavor of Love.
This interview seems very genuine and grown-up…I like her…and I was excited when he picked her…last season…in the finale (not nec. thru all episodes) I rooted for NY, but Deelishis won me over.
I can only imagine how it felt to have ppl call you a man (and then laugh at it) and you have gone thru one of a woman’s rites of passage…giving birth. That must have cut deep. People can be so unnecessarily brutal at times.
I dig her personality—from what I could see on the show, as well.
lmao then some at DPS THAT is Buck wild
People can be so cruel…but most times they gotta put someone else down in order to feel better about themselves. SHAME! I really don’t think they’re gonna stick together…I think that they’ll be really close friends and be there each other….NOW HOOPZ is a different story…I think that after she won…she shut down all ties to Flav.
…and yeah…if it lasts with Flav, so be it…but I cant see that…that’s NOT a good look for her —look at me being unnecessarily cruel to him…that’s not a good look either—but it’s true!
I am glad she kept her scars it is a reminder of how she could be dead. I have a scar on my leg not as bad as hers but i woule ratHer have that scar than to be dead. I feel on her the whole acar thing i would not remove mine either.
MARIE:
Where’d see you the pic of her baby daddy?
Thanks a bunch Angel.La for the post.
Go Dee!!! I hoping that she would win. I got a good vibe from her from the 2nd episode. People can hate on her all they want but that’s a woman for ya. She is no dummy and she does seem really genuine.
I actually wish them the best.
Looks aside, I will never get how these women fell in love with a man who disrespected them IN THEIR FACES.
New York for example, fucked him the first season and got eliminated. Does the same exact thing this time around and ends up getting dumped a second time.
This show showcase the low self-esteem of African American women (despite the fact that their were women of other races on the show). This women HUMILIATED THEMSELVES and they do not even know it.
i retract my comments about her i didnt read the rest of the interview……..she seeems like cool peoples
It’s 19.95 a month to join her damn website which is basically porn. No thanks!
I guess love is truely blind… or something. But anyway who is her daughters father? She asked New York if she knew who her daughters father was and that he had money on top of money on top of money. I went looking around and it said some Detroit rapper, but the only rapper from there that I know who has any kind of long cash is Eminem.
lol number 8 u funny as HELL !! her myspace page is tight tho
u know what, i was just tellin my friends that i think its uber kewl that she didnt have any shame with covering her scars on the show. and its heartbreaking to know NOW that she’s self conscious about it because silly folks on blogs (such as this place, no offense to CL).
i think her scars made her even more genuine to me.
and she DOES sounds sincere about flav and his fam.
i sincerely wish them the best. he DID make the right decision
YEP LOVE IS BLIND BUT DAM LOL
Wow! I liked her before but I like her even more now! She seems to be a really cool person. And she definitely kept it real when she says there’s no way she could be a model! LOL! She’s cute but to be a model you’ve got to be stick then and even plus size models don’t have a butt like that. But anway, she seems to have a real cool personality. Hope everything works out for her.
Chile…no here name is NOT spelled DEELISHIS LMBAO……
All this time, I thought she called herself DELICIOUS and it was spelled DELICIOUS…I guess that ish is on her birth certificate…
The half naked pics is the only thing that I can’t understand though and Hoopz half naked ass is all over the place.
How did she get the scar…I thought they made her more genuine & real.
I heard her childs father is a member of Bone Thugz N Harmony.
nah her chiles father is this old ass politician from detroit
I really liked her vibe. I never understood why folks was saying she looked like a dude.
And if her Baby Daddy is older maybe she just digs older dudes…
Whatever, she was still unlady like at times just like the rest of them. Then all of a sudden she wants to be this mature motherly type woman. Whatever, she’s still fug to me and she’s not important at all. You people are so easy to choose sides involving nonsense.
@33 Lilly…Delisish isn’t her real name…I guess you didn’t watch the show. Delisish is the nickname FLAV gave her on the show. LOL
@ #8 Mika, LMAO!!! I gotta add that to my vocabulary…..DPS
@ #33 Lilly, Flav picked that name out for her. He probably didn’t know how to spell it correctly. Dum @ss boy! (of course I’m talking about Flav and not you)
I like Deelishis but I still don’t think she truly wants to be with Flav. Time will tell though.
SHARON:
Oh….lol..no I didnt watch the show…lol…
SHARON:
By the way…I could NOT watch the show, Flav hurt my TV screen….I know God made all of us in his image…but Lord…What were you thinking when you made Flav..
deelishis need to sit her fake ass down…she, jus like the rest of them hoes, was there for TV
Her album drops nov 21
I didn’t know that she wass only 26
she coming out with an album?, lol
lol@ lily……….
LMAO @ #8 I am glad she won and God bless her cuz Flav looks like a shriveled up peice of dog doo doo
YALL FUNNY ANYWAY I BEEN TEAM DEELISHIS FROM DAY ONE!
DEELISHIS IS A PRIME EXMAPLE OF GETTING YOUR COLLEGE MONEY’S WORTH, YOU CAN JUST TELL SHE IS EDUCATED AND CLASSY,AND RESPECTFUL. SHE SEEMS AS IF SHE IS GREAT WITH KIDS HER DAUGHTER IS ABSOLUTLY BEAUTIFUL,
DEELISHIS COULD NEVER DO ANY WRONG IN MY EYES, YEAH I LIKED BOOTS, BUCKEEY AND EVEN NIBBLZ BUT THERE WAS SOMETHING ABOUT DEELISHIS FROM DAY ONE THAT FOCUSED MY ATTENTION ON HER AND I WAS SUCKED IN(PROBABLY THAT FABULOUS WEAVE SHE IS ROCKIN) AND FROM THERE I DECIDED TO ROOT FOR HER,
NOW I AM A FORMER NEW YORK FAN I ROOTED FOR HER FOR THE LONGEST THEN SHE CAME BACK THIS SEASON ACTING AND LOOKING A DAMN FOOL!
AND LIKE DEELISHIS SAID THE APPLE DOESNT FALL FAR FROM THE TREE, BECAUSE KRAZY’S FAMILY AND NEW YORKS FAMILY WERE A HOT ASS MESS. DEELISHIS FAMILY CAME IN AND DEMANDED RESPECT WITHOUT OPENING THEIR DAMN MOUTHS, THEY WERE CLASSY PEOPLE AND I COULD SEE HOW DEELISHIS WAS THE PERSON SHE WAS, HER PARENTS WERE FABULOUS.
I DONT KNOW WHY ON GOD’S GREEN EARTH SHE WOULD WANT FLAV BUT LOVE IS BLIND AND WHEN IT COMES TO MATTERS OF THE HEART, NO MATTER WHAT SCHOOL YOU WENT TO OR HOW MANY DEGREES YOU HAVE, WHEN IT COMES TO LOVE YOUR HEART WILL HAVE ITS WAY NO MATTER WHAT YOUR BRAIN IS THINKING, SO IF DEELISHIS LOVES FLAV LET HER LOVE FLAV BECAUSE WE DAMN SURE DONT WANT HIM, HE IS THE SAFEST MAN IN AMERICA.
BUT I ABSOLUTLY LOVE AND ADORE DEELISHIS. AWAY FROM REALITY TV, I HOPE SHE BECOMES FAMOUS IN HER FUTORE ENDEAVORS…
PS APPARENTLY HER BABY DADDY OWNS SOME THEATERS IN DETRIOT SO I HEARD?? RIGHT NOW I THINK WE ARE ALL IN SPECULATION MODE UNTIL ANGEL-LA POSTS PICTURES AND SOME INFO ON DEELISHIS BABY DADDY(HINT) LOL
I like her and Im glad that she’s a genuine person…and all yall runnin round here talkin bout flav is ugly….half o’ yall prolly got niggaz that look broke down too, but yall still wit them. Leave them alone and let them do them. It aint affectin yall.
i read that her daughter’s father is an environmental analyst or something like that.
Deelishis quotes:
“And have you seen my ass? People use the word “model” too loosely!” hehe!
“My scars have never defined me.” WOW!
“I chilled, prayed and enjoyed the scenery.” Amen!
“Something like the Brady Bunch, but the Flavor Bunch.” **in my best Solange voice: Beyonce! Beyonce! Beyonce!
“They’re a rainbow of beautiful personalities” Ahhh!
“Calvin Klein would never hire me. He would tell me to go on the treadmill first.” Then to KFC!
“Look, when good things come to people you love, you should support them.” Take note Beyonce haters!
“I’ve read some of the cruelest things in those blogs.” ConcreteLoop???
=====================================================
I didn’t think anyone was fake as much as I thought they were all hookers, pornographers, strippers, hoes, sluts and dramatites! Women like that don’t need a reason to put it out there and work it hard!
On the last night, New York said, “ah hell, I may as well go on to his room and do the nasty grown-up thang! She packed her overnight bag and knocked on his door!
The money and exposure is probably better than strippin!
im feelin her more now too
MADD RESPECT FOR HER ON THAT STATEMENT ABOUT “MODELING”
ERRY BITCH OUT THERE SHAKIN AND SHOWIN ASS WANNA HOLLA THEY A MODEL
DAMN, YALL ARE SO EASILY INFLUENCED!!
This is a fake ass reality show, New York did an interview basically saying that everything is staged.
I think Deelishis just knows how to play the game the best! She says what sounds good to get public support. I think she’s is just as fake as the others. And she’s releasing an album, please, she didn’t love Flav, she wanted fame.
Plus her baby’s daddy is rich, that girl is a golddigger who knows how to play the game.
WAKE UP PEOPLE!!! THIS IS HOW PEOPLE LIKE CASSIE GET RECORD SALES CUZ PEOPLE CAN BE SO STUPID!!
i will say this flava is a tru/genuine man he cares deeply for everyone around him
deelishis is a WOMAN not a GIRL like hoopz, she knows how to carry herself etc etc
The hoe is fugly….they make a good couple…..
Its nice to see Americans have quality taste in television programs….no wonder why American children are fastly becoming the dumbest in the world…theyre watching stupid shit like Flavor of Love…
Tune in to The documetary by Al Gore on Global Warming, watch the discovery channel or support Public stations…….you will learn things
I wonder if she plans to dip into singing. She showed a lil something on the show, she sound way better than Krazy!!!
We’ll see how this goes, I see Deelishis getting more fame than Hoopz.
They said Deelishis look like a man, look at Hoopz, that gurl is solid!!
i give them a couple months…………..that shit gon be over
I really like Deelishis, she seems real to me!
Baby GOT MADD BOOTY !!!!!
I KNOW Flav is straight Killing that from the back!!!
