VH1access Interview: Dawn (Football Wives)

My blog partner Brian who is VH1info did an exclusive interview with Dawn from Football Wives. Check It out!

 Hi Dawn How Are You?

  Hey Brian - thanks for helping us pub Football Wives - I appreciate it!

 So your a cast member on FootBall Wives, how did you get On?

  My fellow cast mate Chanita Foster is a good friend of mine.  She was involved with the project from the beginning and suggested me to the producers since she knew I had a good story to tell.  They interviewed a lot of ladies who were interested in being a part of the show - I was one of the lucky ones to be chosen!

Did you know the other wives before hand?

  Not everyone.  I've known Chanita for several years - we even served on the board of Off the Field together.  It's the national professional football players' wives association.  I'd met Melani and Pilar a couple of times.  Even though Amanda and I live five minutes away from each other, we didn't meet until after we started production.  Erin, Brittany and Mercedes are all new friends.

Up to this Point how well is your portrayal?

I think it's good - I can't complain about anything that's being portrayed on the show.  What you see is what you get with me.

Do you feel like it could be better?

I think it could be longer - 20 minutes a week isn't long enough to tell the stories we're trying to put out there.  With more time, we'd be able to tell the stories better - that's the only thing I'd like to change.

Ive been keeping You girls up with the ratings, and it should be better. What do you think is keeping it low?

Well, a couple of things.  The show hasn't really been publicized.  That's a bummer.  And we're on Sunday nights - that's a really tough night since we're competing against football.  Last week's ratings were down but we were in a new time slot and competing with a couple other shows in that time slot.  Bottom line though - people are watching - we are averaging around 700,000 viewers on Sundays.  With no publicity and with tough competition, I don't think that's all that bad.

There has been already a whole bunch of drama outside the show  why ?

  

It's a reality show - the drama doesn't stop because the cameras stopped rolling. 

Pilar seems to be like the villian, and a bad friend, tell us alittle about that?

I honestly don't think I've seen anything on the show thus far that would portray Pilar as the villain.  I think she's been funny and entertaining.  And we've got a villain - it's Chanita!  People love to hate her for some reason.  I think Pilar's behavior off camera and in the media is what's bringing her negative attention.  She can't blame anyone for that but herself.

She missed the premiere party Why?

 It's my understanding that Pilar hosted her own event that evening.  I don't know for sure because I haven't heard anything about it.

The Episode Where you made a Comment to Chanita's Child what really happened?

I made a comment to Chanita's young daugthers about them not being able to take dance classes because Chanita had to use the money to support children in Swaziland.  I was totally joking and they had no idea what I was talking about.  But in hindsight, it was inappropriate - I shouldn't have said it.  I do think Chanita overreacted though.

Fact that the show is more of a story rather than just show only the Wives. Was it easy filming?

I wouldn't say it was easy - but it was a great experience.  It was hard work and very demanding, especially emotionally when we dealt with some difficult issues.  But I had a blast and I'd do it again.

Tell us about your son who is diagnosed with Autism?

My son Will is on the autism spectrum.  He's a great kid who is very high functioning, but has some developmental delays that present unique challenges for our family.

Its such a inspiration to all the mother who are going through the same think, what is some advice to them?

Take it day by day and ask for help.  And most importantly, learn to appreciate and love the small things. 

I understand your situation somewhat becuase i have a cousin with it. For people that dont know what it is,can you give an insight?

I usually direct people to the Autism Speaks website - there is a plethora of information on the site, including a description of what autism is and what signs to look for.   www.autismspeaks.org

Everyone seems to compare  BasketBall Wives and  Football Wives and even Bash Them, whats your opinion on that?

Basketball and Football are two totally different worlds, so our shows are going to be different.  It comes down to what people are looking for.  Some people have called our show boring - that can only mean those people are wanting us to flip tables and fight all the time.  We just aren't about all that drama.  We do have some conflict though, and it's coming.

Shaunie Produced your show too, correct?  

Yes.

Other than a Football Wife, tell everyone about your other projects?

I'm a practicing attorney licensed in both California in Texas.  I do some local acting and hosting.  I am also involved in various charities including Garth Brooks' Teammates for Kids, The Layla Grace Foundation, Tackle Cancer Foundation and the American Cancer Society's Silver Dollar Ball.

Do you think that the show will get a Season 2?

I sure hope so - we have some unresolved issues...

Thank you for the interview Any last Words to anyone in that industry?

I hope people will continue to tune in and appreciate a "reality" show that's actually real!

Brandy Wants MORE kids

Brandy recently expressed interests in having more children….three boys to be exact. Check out what she had to say after the break!

It’s been six years since Brandy has been with a man, but she hasn’t giving up hope just yet.
In fact, the Dancing With the Stars single mom tells us she has babies on the brain.
“I want three boys,” she told us Monday at TV Guide’s Hot List party at Drai’s in Hollywood. “I just think boys are cool. I have a precious little girl [Sy'rai] and I think she’s awesome. I just want to keep her my special little girl and then have the rest boys.”
The 31-year-old singer is getting a little impatient.
“I’m like, ‘Dude, hurry up before I end up not being able to have no more kids!’ ” she laughed. “[You're] taking too long!”
Brandy said her quest to find a man will be featured in her upcoming VH1 reality show, Brandy & Ray J: A Family Business. So what kind of guy is she looking for?
“I’m looking for someone with the same values that I have,” she says. “I’m looking for someone that has a pure heart. That has a love for God or the universe…someone that loves children, easy on the eyes, and has a drive to be something very powerful in their experience.”

Football Wives Dawn Interiews With Celeb Promoter

“Dawn Neufeld” has a story to tell, her side of the story, her personal feelings on the reality show and the drama packed events. The new series of VH1′s “Football Wives” has created some controvercy between the cast members and a specific individual. If you thought Pilar was the only outspoken person on the show you’re very mistaken.

The Exclusive Interview with “Dawn Neufeld,” In response to the controvercial outbursts of the ‘Football Wives’

Celeb Promoter: How do you feel about Pilar and her negative statements about the cast members?

Dawn Neufeld: It is so difficult for me to hear Pilar say negative things about our show, cast and crew. We spent three long months working on Football Wives and did our best to present our “real” lives, so to hear her say in a radio interview that VH1 staged or set up a scene really makes me upset. I don’t want people to think that any part of what they see on the show isn’t real. I can’t speak on Pilar’s behalf (maybe she was the one not being real), but I can tell you that my life and how I presented it are my reality. My son has autism, we are having financial difficulties like most NFL players do after retiring from the league, etc. To insinuate that any of our story was set up is a slap in the face. I hate that I’ve spent so much time dealing with “Pilar’s” issues. Please know that anything I’ve said publicly in regards to Pilar has been in response to something she’s said or if I feel I need to set the record straight. I’ve never come out of the box throwing stones. I responded to an interview several weeks ago where she said the rest of us knew each other before we started production (not true) and then insinuated we bullied her. That’s a serious accusation – one I don’t take lightly – so it needed to be addressed. To hear people say that we’re just hating on Pilar and that we’re jealous because she’s pretty is ludicrous. We’re football wives – we’re around beautiful women all the time. Pilar isn’t the first pretty person I’ve encountered and I’m certainly not jealous because of her looks. I’m no supermodel, but I’ve been told I’m decent-looking. And I have an education and two degrees to back up what I’ve got on the outside. Nothing to be jealous about there. Is it the money I’m supposedly jealous of? I learned a long time ago that money doesn’t buy happiness – it’s certainly not something I’d be jealous of.

Celeb Promoter: If she left the show would you or anyone else care?

Dawn Neufeld: I don’t hate Pilar – we just don’t see things eye-to-eye. Personally, I think Pilar has an interesting story and point of view to share with people and I think if she had invested more into this project and been more authentic, it could’ve been a wonderful opportunity for her. Now, if you ask her, she’ll tell you she was being real. Those of us who worked with her for three months didn’t get that from her. Deciding not to come back if we get a second season is her choice – I wish her luck.

Celeb Promoter: You have a nice sense of style and fashion: who do you think is the best or worst dressed on the show?

Dawn Neufeld: I’m so laid back – put me in jeans and a t-shirt and I’m good to go. I think Chanita and Amanda’s stylists did an amazing job with both of them, but Erin was our suprise fashionista – she has a fashion background and would show up to events and get-togethers looking amazing! We always knew to check out Erin’s shoes. One of our cast members seemed to have throwback or vintage style – I’ll let you draw your own conclusions about who that might be after you check out the season.

Celeb Promoter: Oh, I’ll definitely check it out, the vintage style seems hilarious, lol. What seperates “Football Wives” from the other programs on TV, and why did you accept the invitation to join the show?

Dawn Neufeld: I was approached a while back to get involved with the show and I didn’t hesitate to get on board. I’ve always said I wanted to tell what our lives are really like – dealing with injuries, job insecurity, constantly moving around, that we don’t all make a million dollars a year. The show also gave me an opportunity to promote autism awareness since our son is affected by it. I never considered turning down the opportunity. I think a big difference between our show and some other reality shows is that most of us are married with children and careers – our reputations are on the line. I’m an attorney, and if I’m on camera pulling hair or fighting with someone, I risk getting censured professionally. There are real consequences to acting out for the sake of television, and that’s certainly not something I was willing to do. We tried to expose the not-so-glamorous side of football, and for some people, it might be a little too real. There is some drama coming though – I hope people tune in or they’ll miss out!

Celeb Promoter: You’re a very beautiful woman, and you also have a successful academic career: what advice would you give to the kids who look up to you?

Dawn Neufeld: Get an education! There is nothing more important in the world than having an education. Young ladies should aspire to be more than someone’s trophy wife – be about something, support charities, help others. Life is way too short to focus on things that are fleeting.

Celeb Promoter: Is there anything we left out that you would like the people to know? Anything Juicy and revealing :-]

Dawn Neufeld: I can’t tell you too much, but I get into a verbal altercation with a cast mate in an upcoming episode. I’ll say this – you really, really, really have to piss me off before I cuss you out!
