Kanye’s ex, ex-girlfriend Brooke Crittendon will appear on an upcoming reality show on EBT titled Harlem Heights. She attempted to breakdown the reason she wishes to step out from the shadows of Mr. West at a press event over the weekend but ultimately left me with a headache the size of Donovan McNabb’s dome.

“I was involved with a very famous rapper for a number of years, and I worked in the news and documentary department (at MTV). So a lot of our pop news involved myself. But because I sort of played the background to the person that I was dating, I had to go through people saying things about me or just sort of assuming who I was… I just was like, “I just want to let people know what I really am and what I really do. I’m not just this person’s girlfriend.”

“Part of my personal journey beyond actually wrapping the show is to not mention that person because if I’m trying to get from under the shadow of being that person’s girlfriend, I feel like to constantly drop their name and that association is sort of saying, “Hey, I don’t want you to think I’m just that, but I did used to date this really cool person.” You know what I mean?” [source via Necole Bitchie]

She wasn’t this damn secretive back in 2006 when she wrote the following in a blog on her MySpace profile after the ladies over at Lipstick Alley roasted her ass over an open flame.

I read the threads, had no idea the hate was so thick! It’s just so funny reading what they say and what they think, it’s so sad bc they r so far off the mark. But the truth shall set you free, so here it goes: Yes, clearly I WAS the baddest bitch on SU’s campus, and it was no secret :O) Ironic for what is
probably comprised of a bunch of baby mamas and welfare chicks to be so intrigued with my personal life as a 18-21 year old in college . . .

Maverick, you are so off base. Im not a teen, Im a G.O.O.D girl. Syracuses finest, baddest Delta. Im Brook Crittendon. Play wit it. Kanyes one and only so dont hate.

Youre right, Im average. Making 10 more than the average hater, STUNTIN 10x harder than your average chick, yeah thats how Im average. And as for me looking tired? I AM tired.tired from gettin on and off all these planes in all these different countries every weekend, tired from carrying all these bags, tired from the VIP treatment at these parties all night, and tired because I STILL COME TO WORK AT 9:30 EVERY MORNING TO DO MY JOB :O) YALL MAKE ME A STAR, I dont have to try. And I think it looks sillier to step off a plane all glammed up knowing your ass was sleep for the past 6 or more hours! See, what they fail to realize is that I dont have to try, cuz I get it :O) Check out my pix with weave, without weave, with makeup, without makeup, with designer shit, with not so designer shit man, do you see my KICKS?! BEWARE OF THE TALES HATERS SPIN..although they do make me laugh. They can say what they want, bc I never set out to be famous, to be in the public eye, or to be looked at as the most beautiful girl. Why people hate on me, I dont know but they doso BIG SHOUT OUTS TO MY PEOPLE ON HERE, KEEP HATIN!!!! (Thats a Maybach for all you bitches who will never have the joy of riding in one :O) Dream On :O) back to your regularly scheduled program :O)

And then he proposed to Alexis Phifer.
