Underneath The Surface

Filed under: Inspiration > When Celebrities Blog > Shanna Moakler

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:

"Thursday, January 24, 2008

"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

Do what you feel in your heart to be right- for you'll be criticized anyway. You'll be damned if you do and damned if you don't.

    Oh, she told you where to go you big FUCKSTER!!! AND she did it like a lady UNLIKE the PIG (she is a FILTHY hole) you named yourself after. Go Shana!!!

    She's a strong minded woman who stands by her convictions. Bravo. Take note everybody?

    103

    In all reality, I never liked Shanna. She's just come off as white trash to me, from having a kid out of wedlock (not small time values btw) to tattooing herself up and going all punk-rock when she moved on to the next guy, having a reality show with Travis (that next guy) etc etc.

    Its funny that she could have used her thoughts, and her feelings on small-time values to be something other than what she ended up being. I've seen her in hooker-pam-anderson plastic 12 inch heels too many times to count, I've seen her hussied up like a whore with makeup-and-the-gwen stefani hair lift in the front

    So if anyone has brought her down, its herself. She made some great points, but she isn't by far Miss Innocent. She should have married a small-town guy, if she wanted a less chaotic life. Instead, she married Travis, whose an INCREDIBLE drummer, part of various bands, moonlighted for all types of genre music & is it a surprise her life didn't end up the way she wanted?

    Loud Sigh. Its like Tara Reid complaining - laughable

    Paris IS a nasty, dirty tramp, but so is Shanna. I don't see why she thinks she is any better than the rest of the sluts in Hollywood. If it looks like a slut, walks like a slut…

    I hate to say it my Cuban friend, but you just got a very well written insult aimed at you. I have to applaud the lady, it spoke a lot of truth about our entertainment industry. Kudos, and I will probably pay more attention to her in the future. Still love you Mario (Perez), but she zinged you. Showed a lot of class for you to place it on your board. You can take it as well as give it. 8-) .

  9. good for her says – reply to this


    109

    it's true though what she says. and vultures like perez have no soul and just comment on other people's lives for a quick buck and their 15 minutes. in teh end, the people with value and morals will prevail and the hollywood whores and perez hiltons of the world will have to answer to a higher being. i betcha then they'll realize their 15 weren't worth the hell, literally…

    111

    Well, I guess she told you Perez!!!! Good for her though, I'm glad that she has worked her ass off for everything she has gotten. I love that in a woman! People SHOULD have to prove themselves - not just be handed shit left and right.

  16. Taylianne says – reply to this


    116

    I agree.
    I myself wouldnt have started this website and made fun of people for fame.
    famous people arent immune from having their feelings hurt, you remind me of a highschool bully Perez only without the looks and personailty to go with it. I seen you on that 'i wanna be a rockstar' show and i covered my eyes and begged my sister to switch the channel as it was too embarrassing for me to watch.
    I wouldnt want to be famous if i was you Perez, im surprised they havent started a website for the sole purpose of making fun of you. I certainly wouldnt rip on people on the way they look or conduct themselves from what i have seen of you….

    you know what good for her… i always thought less of her but after reading this i've changed my mind.

  19. I hate Perez says – reply to this


    119

    I completely agree. Perez is an ugly MF who can't get a job. Thats why he stooped to his lowest. Making money off people's hardships. Karma ass hole

    Re: QUACK
    "LOOKING" like a slut NEVER meant ANYTHING!!! Shana can wear whatever heels she wants and should not EVER be compared to a MISS PIG!
    Simple as that…..

    At least it sounds like she wrote it herself (unlike a certain hilton sister). I'm still not sure who she is or what she does–but I'm glad she worked hard for it!!

  26. shawn says – reply to this


    126

    Wow. That girl has some major issues. Especially with Perez. She makes it sound like she has worked harder than anyone. What's her name again? Oh wait, she doesn't even make the z-list, and thats quite pathetic. You know, I have a much above average life but who do i give shit about it to? noone. And stuck on myself like she is? Id never shove my head that far up my dirty dingleberry covered asshole ( not referencing myself ). Snobs aggrivate me, and as long as she acts the way she does she will be nothing better than a z-lister..well..unless of course she flashes her snatch all over the internet because..well, thats all she could ever be good for.
    Good day perez and best wishes.

    129

    I completely agree with Shanna and I don't even like her. Who are we to critize the "famous"? They are people just like us and those criticizing others are those who sin the most. Tell me Perez, have you no DUI's, have you never done drugs? I'm gonna say probably so but just haven't gotten caught like the rest of them.

    Peace

  33. Obsessed says – reply to this


    133

    Fuck you Shanna !!! Paris did not get peed on by the way that was Kim K. Why dont you turn off the computer and feed your fucking kids??? !!! Travis cant do EVERYTHING !! WAH WAH WAH youre so jealous of Paris !! WHY? WTF has she ever done to you? Travis wanted some of that and he went and got some, dont hate on her !!! typical of a weak minded woman to go after the other woman and not the man who is cheating on her..and so what if she has more money and fame than you, her family is wealthy DEAL WITH IT !! your life doesnt exactly suck and you need to get over it and stop being such a whiny, complaining hater, some people are never fucking satisfied no matter what !!! Stupid cunt !!

  34. robin says – reply to this


    134

    Forgive me but am I wrong in the fact that TRAVIS married her!!! Musta been SOMETHING redeeming.
    So glad to be a New Englander, Hollywood is just so full of shit bags !

  35. perez is an idiot says – reply to this


    135

    she's right, you are classless perez.

    you should re-read your critique of the media's handling of heath's death, you pretty much do everything you spoke out against

  36. T says – reply to this


    136

    Re: QUACK

    AMEN! Who does Shanna think she is? She's one of the worst … ! By the way, learn to capitalize and use proper punctuation. Perhaps then it would actually make your hypocritical bullshit easier to read.

  37. Gen says – reply to this


    137

    Perez, sorry to say but I wouldve said the same if my personal life appeared on your site. Shanna's awesome for stickin it to you.

  38. Ray says – reply to this


    138

    Who is Shanna Moakler? And why is she famous..?

  39. SO TRUE says – reply to this


    139

    Shanna is so right! To be famous today you just need to be a big slut and flash your junk for every photographer and BOOM! you're fucking famous. I hate those nasty whores she's talking about.
    Perez, I still love you no matter what.

    BRAVO SHANNA - and PEREZ!

    Wow - I'm floored at how articulate and smart she is. I had no idea that had such integrity - I always thought she was exactly the type of bimbo she's complaining about. Apparently not!

    And Perez - good on you for posting this. You're showing your integrity by taking the detractors and airing their view. It shows you're a bigger person than most people think you are.

    YOU GO GIRLS!

    143

    Re: I LOVE SHANNA
    Did her hubby cheat on her with Paris Hilton?
    MAN! IF i was Paris Hilton i would curl up and die of pure shame! She is nothing but an unpaid whore, and ironically because of her disgusting behaviour shes actually LOST her inheritance! So all the free whoring herself out actually ended up costing HER in the end.
    Bah as long as she isnt passing parasites onto my man i can watch on and laugh…

    She is a total self important cunt, she needs to shut the fuck up and realize NO ONE cares about her piece of shit life or worthless pieces of fuck children, let alone who she is fucking THIS week.

    She just pissed cuz her worthless hubby fuck Herpes Hilton and gave her the disease that reminds you forever of that special soul who shared it with you.

    She got what she deserved

  53. jen says – reply to this


    153

    Good for her. i agree 100% with what she said. I realllllly do not think people enjoying reading about you making fun of someone's children or failed marriage. Looking back now on what you've said OR IMPLIED about Heath Ledger must not make you feel too great. It has to be the slightest bit embarrassing that you kick people when they are done not to bring them back up, but only to promote yourself. You admire Paris Hilton who clearly has no soul or concern for self image or her family's. You admire someone who so selfishly promote themselves at whatever cost dignity is to them. My suggestion, which I think you need would be to keep it lighter. There are some fun, light hearted things we get to see on this website. No one wants to see berating people.

    156

    I love Shanna, I think she's a very well-adjusted, strong female with decent values and a good mother! She has problems just like any non-famous, normal person does and unfortunately the press (and PEREZ) give her a bad rap, when realistically, just like she says in her blog, she's quite respectable and isn't doing crazy, disgusting things like Lindsay, Britney, etc.

    I really think you are funny Perez…but you are out of line.
    Its funny…it is.
    But sometimes..you really take everything to far.
    I really think you have a heart under there.
    Please just drop this shit.. at least skip the cruel parts.
    You cant live your life just wanting more and more visitors on your website!!
    You can do better…you can do this(or something!) and be proud…
    You are alredy famous..do something with that!!
    Im from sweden ,and we all know who you are!
    Your famous around the world!!(thats kind of weird..)
    You say that you admire brangelina and others ,and think people should do good things when they have the chance to make things different!
    What do YOU do?

    Whateverrrrrrrrrrrr to Shanna and her message, big whoop.

    I still like Perez.

    I respect anyone who stands up for themselves and what they believe. And whether you're a fan or not, between Shanna and Paris, I would take Shanna as a friend any day. And btw, I come from a family of musicians and in my humble opinion, her husband isn't much of a drummer with not a whole lot of talent, but to each his own. Everyone's standards are different.

    She's right though!

    I feel like Sybil sometimes when I come to this site. I get annoyed when it's nothing but Britney this and Britney that, but then I get annoyed when there aren't many updates. Consider this rambling just that…rambling. I took 2 vicodin

  80. sarah says – reply to this


    180

    I agree with Miss V.

    She has some valid points, but she's also being hypocritical. Being known for getting into a fight with paris hilton & having a shitty marriage with a famous rocker is all apart of fame, you just have to handle it as best you can and take it with dignity. you cant put in all that effort to become an actress & not expect the backlash that comes with it, i mean come on shanna, you've posed in playboy, let's be realistic here and not pretend you're above it all.

  81. Jolie Marie says – reply to this


    181

    I'm sorry what a desperate fool. You don't want to be part of it yet you still slam on Paris and Perez. Grow the fuck up already. She only posted shit about Perez so he would post it on his site. Everyone that comes on here to comment about how much they hate Perez is just as desperate. Oh well they are only making you more famous Perez! GO PEREZ!!!!! love you and your site!

  82. Way to go Shanna Moakler!! says – reply to this


    182

    I knew I always liked her for a reason …! She's right, Perez, and even though I think you're a malicious, mean-spirited, judgmental celebutard wanna-be gossip-monger, I appreciate the fact that you posted what Shanna wrote. I can't help but think, though, that you have an ulterior motive. Just like Britney who you so love to hate, you don't do anything that's not calculated and for your own benefit.

    is posing for playboy any different than all of those things she just mentioned above????????????????

    I'm not a big fan of Shanna, but she is absolutely right. These whores put out sex tapes and the next day they are famous. In truth though, they are an absolute joke to the mass public and I imagine real Hollywood stars.

    I think he should also try to put out some sort of responsible information on social issues not just gossip gossip. When you become famous and successful perez do good and powerful things while keeping us informed on the juicy stuff too. Well as a latina who lives in Miami, I got nothing but love for you Gordo..:)

    195

    Shanna;
    You have accomplished alot, but have proven to people that wearing that big Miss USA crown means nothing! It's a bad b movie. You think fame will make you happy, doubt it. Neither will money, or a man (even if you find one that isn't all inked up). Why not stay home with your children and get into what they do, little kid sports, theatre, etc. That's where you will find true happiness. Nobody doubts or really cares that you have worked "hard" to get where you are - it's show business - one day you are hot, and the next day you are not. Everyone works hard, and so do washing machines. And for the record, you are much prettier than Paris, and I like your reality tv show and the fact that you are SASSY!

    Umm..did anyone ever watch her reality show with Travis…she slept the entire time and completely ignored her daughter from her first marriage. She sucks…it's kinda funny she thinks she's a hard worker…and has class..
