On rumors that Smiley made her eat breakfast by herself

“It’s true. We all ate breakfast every day. But then one day, I was told that it was annoying that I ate and that I should eat in the other room. I was pulled aside [by one of the producers] who said, ‘Do you have to eat every day?’ I said, ‘I prefer to eat every day’. … So everyone’s eating every day and … I was pulled to the side by one of the producers and it was just like, ‘It kind of annoys someone that you eat.’ I thought it was a joke … some days he [Rickey] was extremely nice.”


On feeling stifled on the show

“The first three days I was there, I killed it and that’s why I got the contract. I went hard. I remember being told, ‘Hey, be the voice of reason.’ And then Rickey said, ‘No! Let this motherf—— go! She goes! And then I went. And then my Twitter blew up. And then a couple of weeks later, it was like, ‘You know you don’t always have to try to be funny. Just read the news.’ The it was ‘don’t speak during sports.’ And I got reduced.”
