New York (Tiffany Pollard) Biography

Thursday, July 19, 2007 |


Tiffany Pollard (January 6, 1982) is an American actress and reality television contestant, best known for VH1's Flavor of Love and I Love New York. Being from Utica, NY she is commonly known by her nickname, New York, given to her by Flavor Flav. She is also known colloquially by her self-proclaimed nickname the "HBIC", an acronym meaning (Head Bitch In Charge), which she exclaimed in the series Flavor of Love in an attempt to taunt her fellow contestants.

Flavor of Love

Pollard clashed with virtually everybody in both seasons, including contestants:

* Thela 'Rain' Brown
* Nicole 'Hoopz' Alexander
* Chandra 'Deelishis' Davis
* Larissa 'Bootz' Aurora
* Becky 'Buckwild' Johnston
* Schatar Sapphira Taylor|Schatar Sapphira 'Hottie' Taylor
* Heather 'Krazy' Crawford
* Brooke 'Pumkin' Thompson

Although these feuds were, in general, nothing more than screaming matches, an incident in the penultimate episode of season one led to violence. After her elimination, an outraged Brooke Thompson spat on Pollard after the two had exchanged words. Pollard vowed to "whoop Pumkin's ass," and attempted to do so at the season one reunion. However, in another VH1 special, New York and Pumkin were shown making up at a club. Meanwhile, the final two contestants journeyed to Mexico where Flav chose Nicole "Hoopz" Alexander to be his mate.

After his relationship did not work out with Alexander, Flav chose to do a second season of his dating show, and invited Pollard to participate. She agreed, but was once again eliminated, finally severing her romantic connection with Flav. Pollard verbally fought with Flav in the season finale, asking why he had brought her back. However, the two announced on the Flavor of Love Reunion show that aired October 28, 2006 that they would remain friends. In the reunion of the second season, Bootz, Deelishis, Buckee, Buckwild, and Sapphayri went after her physically (All but Deelishis, who had won the second season, were then asked to leave the reunion). However, numerous security guards protected Pollard and, thus, she was not attacked, despite the rumor that Larissa 'Bootz' Aurora punched her repeatedly before security escorted Bootz away from her permanently.

In February 2007, Pollard was a guest on The Tyra Banks Show, where she stated she had feelings for Flav because of his generosity.

I Love New York
In October of 2006, Pollard announced plans for her own dating show, I Love New York, which began airing on January 8, 2007. The series tracks the lives of twenty men as they compete for her, following the same theme as Flavor of Love. During the show's finale, which aired Monday, April 2, 2007, the man she chose, "Tango", proposed to her, and after slight hesitation, she agreed to marry him.

On the reunion show, which aired April 15, 2007, Tango ended his relationship with "New York," stating that he was in love with Tiffany and proposed to Tiffany, but ended up with New York. He said he was upset that New York and Sister Patterson disrespected his mother. He called off the engagement and stormed off stage. Tango also told Chance to "knock his self out" with New York.
