Paris Hilton’s ‘My Old BFF’ – Is Pissed!
Now that the second season of Paris Hilton’s My New BFF has gotten underway on MTV, why don’t we check in with the winner and supposed former “new BFF” from the previous season of the show to hear what she thinks about Paris’s need to find a newer BFF. Brittany Flickinger battled her way thru the first season of the competitive reality TV show to become Paris Hilton’s supposed New BFF … a feat that she seems to regret now (especially in light of the fact that she was discarded like an old shoe earlier this year by her “friend” Paris) considering her comments in THIS new interview:
While Paris Hilton was launching Season 2 of her MTV reality series, My New BFF, on June 2, the Season 1 winner was busy bashing the hotel heiress here on BlogTalkRadio. “I’m really sick of getting branded with a bad reputation for hanging out with her and sticking up for such a disgusting, self-centered user. I’m a good person… I have morals. I don’t have to do anything disgusting or rash to get famous,” she told Dr. Blogstein’s Radio Happy Hour. The bad blood between the duo, said Brittany, began when the series wrapped in December. “She’d tell me things that made me think I was her best friend. And we got really close. And I’m like, Oh, man, this is really nice,” she said of Paris. “Then all of a sudden it was like, ‘Casting for BFF 2! Better end this now. Bye. I don’t need you anymore.’ That’s disgusting to do to somebody… That’s defamation of character.” But Brittany didn’t stop there. Recounting her early days on the show with Paris, she said, “It was around the time she broke up with Benji [Madden], so she was feeling lonely. And she would say things to me that led me to believe that she really did think we were best friends. “So I was like, ‘Oh, shit. This girl must be a little fucked up.’” Brittany’s position on Paris marks a stark departure from how she portrayed their relationship in January, when she said they were, if not Siamese twins, still quite sisterly. “We’re not married. We’re BFFs,” she said in a January interview. “Friends aren’t attached at the hip 24/7. And when we’re somewhere together and we’re not attached at the hip, they’re like, ‘Oh, no. They’re fighting!’” The spurned reality contestant also accused Paris this week of censoring her in cyberspace: “Any time I say anything about her to defend myself – after all the interviews she has done lying about me and making all this stupid stuff up – everything that I say is taken off the Internet.”
Aww … poor Brittany. On the one hand, I suppose all of this ridiculousness is partly her fault for believing that you could actually win a famous friend by going on Reality TV … but she’s young, so I guess her naivety can be her excuse. But, it does seem pretty obvious that the young people cast to appear and compete on Paris Hilton’s TV show are mislead to believe that they are actually competing for her affections when, in fact, they are merely being used for entertainment on the show. It sucks but it’s what they’ve signed up for. Perhaps Flickinger (and others who compete to become Paris Hilton’s New BFF) should look to other, more successful ways of finding new friends … like My Space or Facebook? Poor dears. Ah well … you do get what you pay for.

In paris’s defence ive seen recent pictures of her at parties with the British winner of the British version of my BFF, which aired early this year so she is still in touch with him. He looked like he was having a great time.

I don’t feel sorry for this girl at all. I mean, c’mon, competing to be someone’s new BFF on a reality show? Doesn’t she have friends and family of her own? And then she’s surprised Paris just ditches her? Brittany is probably the only person surprised by this! I cannot believe this show is going into a second season. It has to be the stupidest premise for a reality show ever.

@ JJ i think you are missing the point of the show, people compete on in not because they havent gots friends of their own but because they want to be Paris’s best friend. Obviously there is the fame element aswel. But i agree it is a stupid show.

@Blair — I wonder if they’ll be hanging out when Season 2 of her British BFF starts casting.
June 5th, 2009 at 6:56 am
Seriously, what did she expect? There is something wrong with her.

Honestly, this is so wrong. Paris IS a faker. Who the hell makes a reality show to have a BFF? That’s just totally pathetic.
