Brooke La Barbera was born March 7, 1982 in Nashville, Tennessee. This Southern woman was raised by parents who are both clinical psychologists. Although Brooke grew up in a very strict and sheltered family, she admits that she is a very sexual person. Her debut on TV was in 2006, when she joined MTV's reality show
The Real World : Denver. She is remembered as the teary-eyed woman who exploded when challenger
Tyrie Ballard made fun of her, after Brooke complained that she couldn't find a salon to get her nails done. While on the show, Brooke was also criticized for her decision on giving up her Outward Bound training and choosing to sunbathe instead. In 2008, she returned to MTV's
Real World/Road Rules Challenge: Gauntlet III.
