DEELISHIS INTERVIEW WITH BET.COM
Wednesday, October 18, 2006
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.

Of course you won’t loose sleep, people like you are so comfortable dissing others it doesn’t effect you.
Preying on someones weakness is typical for a girl…but a woman see’s anothers faults and doesn’t spend their time focusing on that, instead find a positive and if they cant’t keep it moving.

After reading this interview, I am convinced the Flav
should go straight to church, or get on his knees and pray to God for sending him an angel.

I think people are mistaking scars or differences for being genuine/humble/true. Yes - if you have something about yourself that make you different than other people you do tend to see the world in a different way and you do tend to be a little bit more kind BUT that does not mean that the person is an automatic genuine person [as most people in this thread seem to be saying].
Some people stay the same even after they been through hell and back. So why is it people are saying: “I think with her scars and everything and how she carry herself…she GOT to be genuine. She deserve Flav!”? That’s just giving her a free ride because she’s different. It shouldn’t work that way in reality.
FURTHERMORE if anyone know anything about the background of the show - the second show was pure entertainment and that there was no real motive to it. Only reason why Flav did a second show was because of the money. New York came back for publicity [for her new and upcoming show] and Deelishis is saying all this because she is getting paid for it.
THINK ABOUT IT: Why is it that Flav said that he didn’t want no porn stars, or singers, or aspiring actresses, or anything of the sort - but EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THE CONTESTANTS have a myspace page or a website advertising themselves? What’s up with that? Simple. They all got picked on the show to boost their careers or popularity.
Don’t get me wrong - Deelishis might be real but don’t be blind people it’s all a publicity stunt. You got to be real dumb to even think that any of this was real.

Goggle Jim Comer he’s supt of detroit school, he’s also 58 and if you look at him, he looks just like that little girl.
I really don’t care who her baby daddy is because she’s the baby’s mother.
But this man is 30 yrs older than Deelishious, that’s just too too much playing.
He’s a big wig with alot of loot. There’s a pic with George W. Mr. Comer has a mentoring program with DC he’s a very very serious man when it comes to the children, education and important issues.
I just can’t see laying with a man older than my dad….Guess that’s my bad not her’s…..lol

I think that deelishus played her cards right to get what she want and she done what she had to do to win. Now whether she stays with FLAV or not she will still be doing her thing and that is what it is all about. Like FLAV said, “I am looking for someone to chill with right now”, so if it work fine, if it doesn’t I think that it will still be fine with him. Everything that we do in life has a consequence whether it is good or bad. His and her consequence are both good. He got deelishus and she gets fame so it is a win, win situation for the both of them. I am not mad at her everyone should take the opportunity when it comes their way. Some people are too afraid to do what they have to do. GOOOOOOO DEelishus.

Everybody has their opinion. And we all know what opinions are like. So here’s mine. Deelishis did represent her self in a respectful way on the show to me. I am glad that Flav chose her. He may not be attractive to most people and most may not understand why she is with him, but seriously, does it really matter. I feel that she is genuine. But if she isn’t I still respect her for knowing how to get what she wants. How can you hate on that. She is still doing her thang and she has all yalls attention wheather you like her or not we all took time out of out lives to think about her. If you think that little of her looks like she played you too!
DO YOUR THANG Deelishis…… By any means necessary. The real go-getters, divas, and hustlers back you 100%
Haters keep doing what yall do best…. Hate. Feel free to hate on this comment!

I met Deelishis last night. She is very sweet, was very receptive to those who wanted to meet her and extremely attentive to the kids waiting to see her. She took pictures with them and actually talked to them and responded to their questions. I never got the impression that she was in a rush, or trying to brush anyone off. She is very articulate and obviously about business. She is definitely a go getter and is going to make life work for her. The scars…they don’t touch her inner beauty.

I think everyone needs someone good in their life I perseonally watched the show yes, I think some of it was degrading to women but it gave flav- who deserves love no matter how he looks a chance to find real lovelike mjb says searching for a real love. I Don’t personally think ny and flav would have worked but yes he was right to pick deelishis b/c she seem like a good person and as for hoops that liar that did this for wrong reason I hope you you remember how wrong you where just another sister using her looks for publicity but your not all that and you were wrong!!! Good luck flav and deelishis and to ny hope you find someone good for you cause tango should have left you you and your mom where dirty with yours ways. Love is about feeling s not about money or looks and what you both bring to the table not whats in it for you.
