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

    Look Shanna,
    George Cloony tried to change the industry after Princess Diana died. Even Anna Nicole smith tried to get her pilled up ass behind a podium and inspire change in the industry through that organization she started with 3 members in the end. (Her, Howard K. and the lesbian assistant).
    So who does Travis Barker's wife think she is? (And yes, in Hollywood she is just Travis Barker's wife). Get over it and get out of LA. It happens in every industry. If its not working out use your money and go back to school.

    What the fuck is she talking about? She is the one who sold out and did a reality show exposing her fucking marriage and kids to the public - and made a lot of money off of it. NOW, she has a problem with the media and paps??? Go fuck yourself whore!

    Perez,just so you know she did not write that shit.I guarantee you that one of her friends sat down with her because it is impossible for all of these things to come out of her brain in one sitting."small town in the smallest state" small brain .She needs to get a life and live Paris alone because I'm sure she moved on

    She finally showed a deeper side and how fierce she is! While I love Perez…she is right about what he said about him …. but it also shows where we are as a society since we are the one's supporting and reading Perez every day.

  15. Sarah says – reply to this


    415

    haha Perez just got owned !

  16. KPDX says – reply to this


    416

    Go Shanna Go! I admire this woman…ALWAYS HAVE….no, she isn't perfect and doesn't claim to be….but she does the best with what she has and keeps trying…can we all say the same? I doubt it…
    Becoming Miss USA is a huge thing…even though she took the place of the one who became Miss Universe…not bad to say the one who did beat you became Miss Universe! Pageants are a tough business…most people would come apart trying to deal with the pressure of a simple local…make fun all you want….it isn't easy getting up on stage with an audience of 50 let alone the world.
    So, Shanna, I stand in your corner…no, you aren't perfect…and neither am I!! You have said things that have kept me going….I don't know if you will ever see this, but you have made a difference in people's lives including mine.
    That I thank you for.
    Cheers!

    Well first, is she white? her profile says "caucasion" she looks part asian or hawaaian or mixed with something to me. Does anyone know what this girls background is? she's really pretty either way! I think she's really sweet, pretty and is one of the best looking females in reality tivo. She looks way better than Paris Hilton, jessica Simpson, jessica alba, etc. However i dont like how she spends more time with landon than she does her oldest kid…at least thats what it looked like on meet the barkers.

    With that said, i really like shanna, she's cool!

  18. RJII says – reply to this


    418

    that was good. she's right about Perez Hilton's dumb name.

  19. Christina says – reply to this


    419

    Shanna is such an amazing person, inside and out….I have met her many times and she is not only smart, well spoken and sincere she is beautiful. I 100 percent stand by my girl! XOXO

    420

    stupid whore. who the hell are you to judge all these people when you were the one posing nude…talking about showing crotches, youre just so much better than everybody else right? thats why your husband cant keep his dick on a leash. all you dumb fucks on here writing about, yeah fuck perez, you stupid fucking douchebags you're on his fucking site you dumb pieces of dog shit.

  21. Jessie says – reply to this


    421

    PS she is the single WORST part of that new show "Crowned." The way she talks is enought for me to not watch the show. The producers need to get on that ASAP

  22. Chelsea says – reply to this

    424

    she's damn right better to be nobody than known for nothing except being stupid like Mrs hilton thought she's not about Perez it's info don't take it personally go Perez !!!

  25. ALYSA says – reply to this


    425

    THIS is exactly what we needed to hear! Someone to put it all out there. All the stupid things that these stupid girls do to get attention..is so PATHETIC. PARIS is a WHORE in every way. After she is long gone she will be FOREVER known as the girl who fucked on tape and was famous for NO REASON AT ALL! I love Shanna and I stand behind her 100%. She is one of the few people in the business that has her head on straight!!!

  26. texas girl says – reply to this


    426

    WOW!!!! I think she's learned a great lesson. I'm really glad she's finally listening to her own common sense. I find her most charming when she is in this mood and remembers her roots. I hope she does find her career expanding. I've always liked her and I'm glad she spoke up.
    ** Even though I read here, I don't agree with all the bashing and making fun of. It really bothers me when sometimes I know the real story and it's not the way it's presented here. Even though I'm in the News business, it was not like this when I got in it. I find it quite shallow these days and mostly goissip.
