There's a Rumor That "New York" and "Sister Patterson" Are Actresses and Not Even Related!

New York

Look, I don’t claim to know whether this rumor is true or not, but I’ll report it and let you readers be the judge.

According to this article on MediaTakeOut.com, the show I Love New York and its cast are all a fraud. Among other things, they say:

Miss ‘New York’ is actually Kenya Simmons of Newark New Jersey. Never heard of her? Well, it’s not likely that you would have.

Simmons, a former exotic dancer, has shown up to many a reality show castings. (I work for Fox). To add hilarity to the stew, she was rejected thrice by “The Bachelor”.

Simmons is not the only television hopeful who has shown her face at numerous open call castings.

The actress (and I use that term loosely) who plays “Mrs. Michelle”, New York’s mother, Leslie Bibbs, is not only of no relation to Simmons, but once stood in the same cattle call line with her at an open call for a B.E.T reality show.

Another amazing tidbit: Bibbs and Simmons are only 5 years apart in age.

What are your thoughts? Do you believe the rumor? Do you think it’s a lie? Leave a comment to tell us all how you feel.

    Im gonna listen to Utica. If Utica says their from that town…then Im believing it. Proof enough for me. Only because I really don’t care. You see, the reason there is such debate over this topic really comes down to the attitudes of Tiffany and her Mother….We, as rational people find it hard to believe anyone can act that outrageous…that rude…that stupid!…and its a shame they get paid for it. Im partly to blame though cause I love the show….its entertainment…pure and simple!
