Underneath The Surface

Shanna Moakler just posted the following heart-felt message on her official blog.

It's one of the rare times we've seen her vulnerable, sincere and human.

It's a good read!

She says:

"A woman is like a teabag, only in hot water do you realize how strong she is"
Current mood: betrayed

Im gonna TRY to make this short and sweet….

I am VERY far from where I would like to be in my career, I'm from a small town in the smallest state, I've started working as a teen model and lived in every city and beat the streets in every town, taking every audition, I modeled, I did pageants I took every meeting I could, I've been rejected 1000 times and I never gave up…I took every one liner, bit part I could, I didn't have my daddy's name or some hollywood connection, I worked my ass off, and no I may not be in the A list, but I have drive and conviction and ambition… and I wont ever stop trying to be involved in projects that I enjoy and get the opportunity's that allow me to show what it is I strive to do…
I grew up watching musicals with talents such as Ann Miller and Fred Astaire and that is the sole reason I moved across the country to this city with the dream to be a part of this industry.

with that said,

never in all my life, if I thought for one second with all that I have done, (and I am actually proud of what I have accomplished), did I ever think having a confrontation with a whore in a club or the complete heartbreaking ups and downs of my marriage which sadly have to play out in front on the public, would take center stage from what it is I actually LOVE doing…

it makes me fucking sick and sad….. that the reality is having a sex tape and letting men piss on you, getting dui's , flashing your crotch and going to jail is apparently today, the image young men and woman strive for to get their foot in the door… thats not talent and it sure doesn't deserve fame. I mean thats the message i see everyday in my TV, in my papers, on my radios…

i dont want to be known for any of this!! ill keep my small time reality show and my dignity and keep it moving! my marriage is just not up for entertainment anymore.

and perez hilton…go fuck yourself. i guess making fun of everyone in times of trouble shows exaclty the caliber of your class. but look who you named yourself after. maybe i just dont get the "jokes". but its a form of entertainment ill pass on.

signing off.

health, wealth and yes all the happiness you can stand!
SHANNAXOXO

BobC says – reply to this

45

I actually like her more now. She's got a really good point about what it takes to make it in this biz…I know an actress and comic who feels the same way…she won't drag her good name through the mud just for that kind of fame, which is illusory anyway…it's all a big, fat lie if you're not going to do the real work.

55

Wow, I don't even know what she is famous for except for marrying the Blick182 drummer, but I dig what she has to say.
SHEDEVIL says – reply to this

56

WOW!!! Good for her. But I guess her idea of sleeping ’til 2, sometimes 3 in the afternoon with 3 kids needing their mother is classified as being a stand-up person. Well shit then I should be considered Mother fucking Goose.
I think that says – reply to this

57

She really told you Perez. For once, a psuedo educated reply to your site. Kuddos!

She's right about everything she said. And, that includes her opinion of PH. :] Keep it real, S! xxx

Whoa! I'm surprised Perez said it's a good read with what she said about/to him in there. Nice!
I Should have Listened says – reply to this

61

I am sitting here on my cloud popping all of the pills I want and smoking crack and looking down and wondering dwhat life could have been. I remember one time Jack Nicholson and I were out on the town and I said "Jack, lets get stoned and fuck us an Amy Winehoiuse and some other junkie" and Jack said "No, Heath, let's stay more or less sober and fuck all of the clean, non-skanks".

I should have listened. You see, here there isn't any sex. Strictly segregated. Since we are now perfect, no pussies or stink-hammers are needed. Point being, I should have tapped fine women like this when I had the chance.

Don't do drugs!!!!!

I love how you've placed the watermark.
Poor girl, she just couldn't get over that whole Paris Hilton banging her husband thing.
I appreciate her honesty though.
girl says – reply to this

68

so what. why does she care what perez says! she just validates him and his site by mentioning the name. She did him a favor. Perez isn't stupid. He knows what he is doing. He didn't get where he is by ass kissing!
boner says – reply to this

I "love" this picture of Shanna. She looks more like a chonga in this pic than ever. I swear, she looks just like that bitch that scammed the Hanna Montana tickets for her kid.

Despite her dislike for you Perez…I still really like her. She makes some great points and I hope she finds happiness and success.
TT says – reply to this

78

I'm impressed. What she said has tons of truth to it. People are popular now days sex tapes, wearing no underwear. What happened to talent???? I agree with her. Way to go Shanna!!
Meghan says – reply to this

79

She's from one of the richest towns in the state of Rhode Island, which is bigger then Delaware…so it's not the smallest state! She might be from a small town but it's full of rich people. Barrington, RI!

GOOD FOR YOU SHANNA!!! I HATE PARIS HILTON TOO HERPES INFECTED DOUCHE BAG….KEEP STAYING STRONG AND KICK ASS GIRL!!!
Lincoln says – reply to this

86

Matter of time till the Perez Hilton schtick gets old, just like Idol and the other reality-tards. This is likely the beginning of the end here…and the gay platform is just tiresome. Be known for more than your sexual preference and sensationalizing the faults of others.
beth says – reply to this

87

I like how she talks about how she's not degrading herself like the other women do, and the first thing you see when you go to her myspace is a bunch of half-naked pictures of her.
neato says – reply to this

88

she has a point …
Shannon says – reply to this

89

How is she not trying to milk this situation? She's posting a blog on MySpace about fighting with Paris, then bitches that it's all people pay attention to!? What a moron.

Who cares about this bitch?, the only reason she's famous is because of Travis
Cath says – reply to this

95

And why is everyone being an asshole on this site?
Gosh…if everyone hates Perez why even bother to comment.
Oh well.
MGS says – reply to this

96

She's one smart whore.
Amanda says – reply to this

97

REAL TALK!!! I'm not a fan on any of her work, but I have to say she is a strong woman, she probably put up with a lot of ish in her career and life…I'm shocked Perez actually posted this lol
michelle says – reply to this

98

I totally agree with Shana…the only way you become famous anymore is for doing something to be ashamed of.
