![]() If you're walking into a group of investors or a group of advertisers or whatever and they don't know who you are and they look you up and the first thing they see is you in a nightgown banging two cookie sheets together. Women really have to fight to be taken seriously as entrepreneurs. I pick and I chose my battles wisely now. I take care of my business, and as long as we take care of that we good. ![]() But don't think I'm not coming in here and I'm not about my business. Because, honey, I needed to go through all that to be where I am today. And that's fine! That's where I got my start I do not hide where I come from. People associate me, no matter what I do - I just did my first nationally syndicated television show - but I'll still forever be known as Tanisha Thomas, the girl who bangs the pots and pans on Bad Girls Club. It's been hard to be a young woman in business and for people to take you seriously. I'm trying to become a mogul, I'm trying to be a successful business woman and venture out into different things and spread my wings. It takes time honey! It's not easy! It takes time baby! It takes time! I still pop off every now and again, but it's more controlled now. That's the ultimate goal, right? To go through a process, take something from it, and use the tools you got to make yourself a better person than you were before. I've had years to mature, years to become better. I'm in a completely different place, as I should be. Just the things I would pop off about back then I wouldn't even look at twice now. And I'm OK with that! And that's what's up! It's not embarrassing but the woman I am now is like, “ Girl. It's going to go down as one of the most epic reality television scenes of all time. ![]() It's almost ten years later I turned 21 in the Bad Girls Club house and I'm 30 now! It's so long ago but the fans still remember like it was yesterday. It was great! Just to know that people are still connected to something that was the beginning of my journey. It was so funny! I was working on this new show and then all of the sudden “No Sleep” goes viral again! They mashed it up with a Fifth Harmony song to the point that Fifth Harmony actually did a rendition of it on stage. What's your reaction to the "Ain't Got No Sleep" meme going viral again ? I can't say too much but the reunion gets really insane as well! This is the craziest one ever. The girls – you don't see it coming! You think you know what's about to happen but you have no idea. I'm best friends with Cookie, Amber, Leah, Blue, Jenn. I'm from the beginning of when the franchise started. It's like the energizer bunny! It's really hard to keep up with the girls because as soon as you kind of start to like some then they disappear and here's a whole new set. Well you know what, I have to be honest with you. But before that we want to hear about your opinions on the new crop of Bad Girls! That's been the feedback from all the fans who have read the book. But, hopefully, at the end of the day it'll have you taking something awesome away from it. It's awesome, it's funny, it's laugh out loud, it'll have you shaking your head. We want to incorporate a lot of your moments and your story into the book.” So then I kind of intertwined it, I wrote it based on a lot of actual events. We like the Curb Your Enthusiasm feel to it. The publishers came in and said “We want you to make it a diary. I'm not! So listen, the book initially started off as a novel. They don't know who is going to play me! I'm ecstatic that the book has attracted this much attention. There's talk of turning the book into a series I can't give too much information about that. The publisher seems to be really happy and excited. Well, I don't really care about the reviews. ![]() Your book just came out earlier this month. Really excited about all the possibilities for 2016. I am great! I can't complain! Everything is awesome. (Fed Up And Tired) Girl tells the tale of Tanisha's personal journey - and while her narrative has plenty of heartbreak, we took the time to chat about some lighter things, including some reflections on her experience as Mother of the House of Bad and other upcoming and exciting projects. Between hosting reunions, headlining a talk show, and establishing a beauty franchise, somehow the HBIC of BGC found the time to write an entire damn book. Bad Girl Matriarch Tanisha Thomas stays busy.
