Larissa "Bootz" says "Mo'Nique was jealous of me" 
(BlackPressMagazine.com) - She's perhaps one of the most hated Black woman in the history of reality TV. She even made The Apprentice's Omarosa upset.
But, Charm School's most notorious contestant Larissa "Bootz" Hodge Aurora isn't fazed by the negative attention thrown upon her.
In fact, Bootz is telling it like it is: Mo'Nique was jealous of her and the world hates her because she's pretty. Bootz opens up during an exclusive podcast interview with Black Press Radio.com and for the first time viewere get to find out if she's really crazy, about her plans for Hollywood and how she selected her photos for sizzling new calendar.
Bootz, who gained international celebrity status when she appeared on VH1's "Flavor of Love2" starring former rap star Flavor Flav, angered many with her appearance on the spin-off show, "Charm School."
But, it was her "performance" on the Charm School Reunion that caused fed up Americans to speak out against the otherwise beautiful star. When she decided to curse out host Mo'Nique after the elder woman "stepped to me wrong," everyone had had enough.
But, Bootz fans feel she is unfairly targeted on the show to boost ratings. In fact, Bootz has as many fans as she does enemies. But, after watching the show and the commotion at the reunion show, Bootz says she's ready to change.
Black Press Magazine uncovers what made the hardnosed star change her mind in a follow up article entitled, "The B&%$! is dead: Bootz says she's ready to change."
But if you think you the "new and impoved" Bootz will be a push over, you'd better think again.
"If someone is trying to betray me or start somethin [sic] I will get back into bein [sic] a B&^%#! & tell you off madd quick," she said.
