Its true to reality.
How funny is that?
What was the audition like?
Lifetime
It was a couple pilot seasons ago.
Who doesnt love to play a good bitch?
I had a feeling about this show; I felt that it was an important story to tell.
This is one where I wanted to be part of the story.
Britney isnt really just a straight-up villain, though.
We see her human side come out after shes been eliminated.
What I love about Britney was that they really let me play her with layers.
They let me show how human she was.
And I also had to keep in mind that only hurt people hurt other people.
That really helped bring up the vulnerability for me.
Do you get stopped often and recognized as Britney?
Definitely people have stopped me.
But they did, and luckily they were very complimentary, so that was a nice moment for me.
Because weve all been there: screwed over in your job or in a relationship.
Things that happen to Britney happen to all of us.
Most of us have the luxury of where its behind closed doors, she didnt.
Britney is so ruthless.
I had a hard time with the spitting scene.
It seals the deal in that moment.
Yeah, thats a really intense moment.
Its ultimate humiliation on Rachel and Britney, and I think spitting on her seals the deal.
But that was really hard.
Ive never spit on anyone!
The ironic thing is I box in real life.
I have no problem boxing but I cant spit on someone.
Was there anything you did to get in the character mindset for Britney?
That sounds so stressful, to always be in character.
It was really exhausting.
I might as well be proud getting fired being in character.
I feel very blessed that they obviously didnt fire me and enjoyed what I did.
I know Im very excited to watch season 2.
I know anything can happen, but regardless Ill be rooting the new contestants on.
