There won't be as much screaming and catfights on Rock of Love: Charm School if it wasn't for Heather.  A lot of the girls had issues with her, and she knows that only too well.  Now that VH1 managed to catch up with the former reality show contestant, Heather can reveal her side of the story. 

“I initially said no when they asked me to do this show, because I knew I was burnt out,” she said of her time in Charm School.  “I was exhausted mentally and physically from the other shows.  But this sounded like a great experience and it's such an honor to be part of stuff like this that I don't want to turn anything down.” 

“I chose to be a part of these experiences, and I wouldn't take it back, even though I've done and said some stupid and embarrassing things,” Heather continued.  She also said how stressful things have become on the series, and that she had a difficult time adjusting now that she's been eliminated. 

“You're put in these quarantined situations with people you're competing with, so it's automatically a negative environment.  It's just hard for me to deal with, being a trusting person.”  Despite that, the only thing that motivated her to go on was the premise of the series.  “[I]t's a show about transformation.  I wanted to transform in every single aspect.” 

She was, however, relieved when she left the walls of Charm School.  “Within 24 hours I felt better, just leaving the physical environment.  That house had a lot of pollen and dust around so I had a migraine the whole time I was there.  But I was also just away from the atmosphere I didn't feel comfortable in anymore.” 

Indeed, Heather had to go through a number of unpleasant incidents during her time on the show.  She got involved in tiffs with Jessica, Lacey and even Destiney.  But Heather doesn't like dwelling on negatives.  “I'm very grateful and I wouldn't be where I am today if I didn't go through all that.” 

“I know it looked like I think I'm better than people, but I don't.  I just think I have more potential than living in a house with deceiving people over and over again.  I don't think there's anything wrong with wanting to move on.” 

“Charm School was the hardest thing I've ever done.  I'm proud of myself.  I'm not perfect.  Yeah, I turn into Teen Wolf and snap into a Slim Jim sometimes, but that's what happens to human emotions in tough situations.”
