Latest Daisy of Love News>>While it seemed as though he would have walked off arm in arm with Daisy de la Hoya, London instead walked away from the competition. He was pegged as the frontrunner on
Daisy of Love, being a very memorable presence on the show. However, during his exit interview, he said he was 95 percent sure that leaving was the best decision. London recently talked to VH1 about his time on the reality series, explaining what he did and why.
"It's still kinda fresh," he said of the experience. "I think it was the right call, but I definitely have some regrets."
Regarding his domestic situation, London admitted that the editing of
Daisy of Love didn't really do justice to what's really going on. "The show made it look like I was homeless. I moved down to Pennsylvania to take care of my dad's bills and stuff, to help him out financially because he was in a bad spot," London explained.
"We had some problems, some stupid stuff happened and he decided to kick me out. [...] It wasn't that I was homeless, I was just couch surfing because I had a week between getting kicked out of my dad's house and going on the show. No big deal. It's not how they made it look."
London also commented on what really occurred between him and Daisy in the limo, leading to his departure. He relayed the story - Daisy saying she was feeling cold, he offered her his jacket and she started acting mean. "She says, "Ew, this smells like smoke! Gross!" OK, you smoke, too, Daisy. This is after she's already given me an attitude. She's like, "No! I'm gonna wear it!" She finally finds this sweater she was looking for, and she takes this girly sweater, throws it at me and says, "Here. You can wear that." I was like, "F*** that."
London didn't take too kindly to being the butt of the joke, so he decided to defend himself. "I'm gonna say, "Screw this. It's stupid." There are plenty of things to make fun of me for besides offering you my jacket when I'm cold. That's when I said, "This is bulls***, I want to go home." I'm not going to let someone try to turn me into a chump."
Still, his feelings for Daisy weren't strong enough to make him stay. Seeing how much it broke her heart though, made him feel a bit sorry for leaving. "There was a connection between us and watching it made wonder if it was a bad decision to leave."
While it was difficult, London knew that it was simply reality television which made it a challenge to really be with Daisy. "When there are cameras in your face, it's hard to know what's real and what's not. Trying to be an artist and everything, people are always trying to tell you you're not good enough and this and that."
He continued, "You have to deal with criticism and you need a thick skin to defend yourself and not listen to what people say. When you're in a position where you feel like you've got the short end of the stick, you're like, this is where my claws come out."
