Deelishis Dishes on Flavor Flav: He Left Me for the Money
Over the weekend I hit the magazine racks and spotted Deelishis [London Charles] on the cover of Sister 2 Sister magazine. Nothing personal, but I have her filed away in the ‘bitch please’ side of my brain. Not sure what happened after Flavor of Love 2, but the end result looked a lot like Hoopz with a little lot more class and exposure. Here she was in Sister 2 Sister talking about finding a new love, it just wasn’t something I cared anything about. I did a quick flip for any mention of what happened with Flav though, got bored quick, and jetted.
Too bad.. I could have gotten a peek at that new man.
Some people are saying Deelishis is going to be singing Terry Mcmillan’s blues in a short time. All I’m saying is, no man should be looking that sweet, hiding in a damn bed sheet. That’s way too.. gay looking.
Turns out in the article she did address what happened with Flavor Flav, but nothing like she did this morning on her Myspace page.
To clear up things once and for all, Deelishis said she didn’t use him to start her jean line, DCut, that he left her, cut off all communication, so he could re-up with the folks at VH1 for Flavor of Love 3.
In her words.. grab a latte, this is wordy.
Well I do believe it is time to answer THEE question. I did not want to expose our situation completely, as I assumed the truth would come to light in its own time. I thought it’d be the best thing for him. But seeing how he so blatantly disregarded the truth in order to legitimize his way into your homes for a third season, I must be real with you and speak up for the truth and myself!
No I did not leave Flav to sell blue jeans, I didn’t leave Flav at all. Honestly William Drayden and I were never really a couple, for the day I won, inevitably was the day I loss. Fearing that the show was all a stage to entertain, I often ask Flav, “Is this real or are you just having fun” He was always calm and with a sincere and straight face replied, “Yes this is real, and I do wanna have you in my life”. Now many of you may say I was being naive to believe in a reality love affair, but at the time it felt right.
This was Flavor Flav from Public Enemy, he is an older man and knows better than to play games. I thought life is short, take a chance and enjoy your opportunity to love. But love is not what Flav wanted, at least not when it came time to renew his reality show contract. He had a choice, sign up for a new season or stick it out with Dee. But he didn’t think twice. After I won the show and the reunion was taped, Flav distanced himself from me. He changed his number and was advised to cut all ties, or he would ruin the possibilities of a third season.
In the meantime, I wanted more than to be known as Flav’s girlfriend with the Big Butt. I have gifts that are beyond what you see on the outside. I wanted more for myself and my child. I appreciate the appreciation of my physique, and all of the opportunities to grace these wonderful sexy men magazines, but then what?!!! I had been tailoring and altering my own personal clothes since forever due to my body type, so when the opportunity arose to design, style and tailor jeans for women abroad, I put my best foot forward and handled my BUSINESS! ALONE!
I did it without Flav not because I left him, I did it without Flav because he WAS NOT THERE!!! How can you leave someone who was never there? I am a single mom, who has the right to take care of business by all means necessary! And as women, we now know that we don’t have to wait on no MAN to handle our business! I did not compromise my character nor his, nor our relationship by starting my own entrepreneurship.
A real man would have been right there by my side the entire time. So I started my own business, okay but how does that add up to leaving him? It doesnt. He lied!
But its all good…his loss. A man who walks away without care or concern was never true to begin with. And yes I do have someone new in my life right now. However loving who I’m with now, doesn’t mean I never loved Flav, it means God decided I am good enough to truly be loved by someone even after Flav and all the bullshit I had encountered. Someone who loves me unconditionally, with or without a camera or some TV show. Someone who won’t leave me for a check and a chance at ratings. And no dissrespect to Flav. Obviously he had to do what he thought was best for him, and at the same time, so did I.
He says we were a bad batch of women, and that this time around he doesn’t want a girl who’s gonna be famous off of him, well here’s a suggestion Flav…don’t date on national television, cause everyone on that show is going to inherit some sort of fame.
So there it is, the truth. I hope I’ve answered your questions and concerns.
Oh and as for the new love in my life, yes its real, its honest and its healthy…and before any of the hating begins (yall know the haters cannot wait to try and tear this union to shreds) no he don’t beat me! no I didn’t mess with him while I was with Flav!
And hell to the naw, HE AINT GAY, he aint got a GAY bone in his body, so please don’t start with that dumb shit lol. and no we are NOT engaged…yet.
Now that we’ve got them rumors out the way, like my homie Katt Williams say, “We gone keep it pushin round here lol”
I love you all with Gods love, be blessed and lets keep it real always,
Deelishis
I was satisfied with Deelishis’s answer << read, no more ‘bitch please.’ She better keep an eye on ol’ boy though. Even in that club picture, there’s something not right about how he folds up into her.
☼ What's Your Opinion? ☼
Girl, flav is in the way. He aint bit moe looking for love he after the money. He bout as bad as new york. Thats who he need to be with. Both of um will do anything and anybody for a dollar. Good luck with your clothing line.

I have to say that you were on that show for the money too. You know that he isn’t in your league and if you didn’t know that he was Flavor Flav you wouldn’t have given him the time of day. You got famous for being on the show so just live it up.
I don’t believe you were there for the money,I saw how hurt you were at the roast. The point is people who are famous will do anything to get themselves back into the spotlight. Have you seen the girls on his third season? LETS FACE REALITY PEOPLE!!! Who on this third season do you really think is bein real? Once again, just somethin to help promote his fame. He aint lookin for love. Lookin for a dolla, and a free booty call.
Of Course she was on the show for the money…....As for the new boo he’s not gay, maybe bi-sexual cause he is messin with alot of girls in the “D”. I know for a fact cause my cousin is one of them. She jus tring to hold on to him cause she ain’t got nothing.
how did you get your ass so big!!! LOL
WELL I REALLY THINK U SHOULD NOT BE CONCERNED ON WHO SHE IS WITH OR HOW SHE IS SPENDING HER LIFE AND IF SHE FEEL THAT HE IS THE RIGHT ONE FOR HER I UNDASTAND SHE AINT GOTTA BE A CELEBRITY TO KNOW DAT SHE HAVE SOMEONE BY HER SIDE 24 7 TO LOVE HER YA FEEL ME I KNW BU N E WAYZ LET HA DO HA AND U DO U I MEAN KUZ ALL DESE RUMORS DAT KEEP GOING AINT DOING NOTHING BUT GIVING HER MORE PUBLICITY
I love how you handled yourself on the show and you don’t need flav you are pretty you know there is always going to be haters just tell the to kiss your “famous ass” what are they doing? nooothiiinnn
U R A PRETTY WOMAN THAT DOES NOT NEED A MAN TO MAKE U COMPLETE IF U GOT YO OWN MONEY WHO NEEDS A MAN? BUT OL BOY DO LOOK KINDA SWEET
no one likes her anymore. she went on the show so she could sell pants. waste of time. and her music sucks.
dam girl girl u sexy as hell. if it was me i would have those u over the dam money. f**k that nigga!
FLAVOR IS SO FAKE F*CK THAT NIGGA WITH HIS UGLY ASS DEELISHIS DO YOUR THING AND FORGET ALL THE HATERS. YOU WERE TRUE TO FLAV EVEN IF YOU GAINED SO EXPOSURE EVERYONE DID BUT, I BELIEVE THAT YOU WERE IN LOVE AND YOUR WERE REAL FEELING HIM. HERES SOME ADVICE F*CK NIGGAS THEY AINT GOOD FOR SHIT BUT SEX. GIRL KEEP YOUR HEAD UP.
Deelishis I think u should do your thing and keep on going with your life as you are. I watched the Flavor of Love 1 and 2 and now 3. You was the realest ass women the he had up on that bitch.He just a stupid guy that wants everything for himself and not a thought for no one else. I know that I do not know you but just from looking at the show you are a pretty strong sista with an ass like a I have have never seen before in my life. You seem very down to earth and I like people that are down to earth. I would never go on an reality show to meet anyone. You are better off meeting someone on the street then to go a reality show.

delishis you are so sexy and have a big butt. I just want to squeeze I’m a better man than flav and look way better than him.
They look damn good together stop hatin if she’s happy. And as for him we know him on a personal level trust and believe they dont get any real than him he’s a good dude U too WHEATS proud of you O Dizzy
do yo thing
why did you leave her you ugly sour prune and stop sleeping with other women that is younger than you you r bout 50 years old and they are in their 20 and thirties.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
STOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
u r ugly flavor flava!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Like Rocko said you need to tell them hatin’ hoes. You just do you, umma do me. Do yo Thang Deelishis f**k what people think!
To anyone that thinks that this female wasn’t on the show you must be blind to the facts of life. Even Flav himself is on the freakin show for the money.
now das a ass for ya’
deelishis keep your head up no matter what people say. You weren’t able to goon the show knowing for sure what your life was going to turn out to be after the show because alot of nwomen are never seen or heard of after the show. Only god could have allowed what happened to happen and god gave you that talent and you damn sure better keep using it and the rumors about your man looking gay or being gay is all out of envy or because they don’t have one or if they do they are no good and not as handsome as your. Take care and i wish you luck with your new relationship and take care of jasmine and that is all that really matters. I am happy for you girl as a person as the strong black women you are and your self worth. jasmine is luck to have you as a mother and your parents need to be thanked for making you.
He should have left you, he should have left all you money hungry BITCHES. You all were on that show for the money. I don’t know why you all act like you weren’t. It is so obvious.
What the hell is she talking about, he left her for the money, she was there for the money so it came up even. Don’t cry now cause you didn’t get the money. But on a real note you got some fame from it just use it to do something positive with your life.
ALL YALL ARE CRAZY
That niggah was ugly as hell, i dont see how yall kissed his ugly ass anyway. The shit mad me wanna throw-up.
They kissed his ugly ass for their 15 minutes of fame. Another case of females doing anything for money.
FLAVOR FLAV IS AN UGLY DISGUSTING OLD MAN WHO NEEDS TO STOP ACTING LIKE SUCH A PIMP!
HE DESERVES ALL THOSE LOUD ASS WOMEN UP IN THAT HOUSE!
Delishes, you appear to be a beautiful peron both in and out from what I observed on the show. I commend you for the way you carried youself on the show. As far as publicity after dealing with flavor flav you deserved all of the publicity you recieved. The show was all about money and wha one could get from it i.e. the producers, flavor flav, and VH1. You would be a foll to not have taken something from deal. As far as your new man continue to be blessed and the best way to do that is KEEP THE PUBLIC OUT OF YOUR BEDROOM. If this does not work out and you meet someone else that is none of our business. LIVE, LOVE, AND LAUGH!!! TAKE CARE OF THAT LITTLE GIRL AND KEEP GOD FIRST IN EVERTHING YOU DO.
Deelishis has the best booty in the biz!!! Buffie who?
deelishis you so good and fat ass to girl what real good
damn girl what good with you girl i like to be your man girl you are too too good so what good
What are you saying? There must be no school today. That’s where you should be with sentences like that. Some of you really should be asamed of the grammar in the post that you leave.
Flavor flav’s got a face only a mother could love.
All the women on that show were way out of his league. Leaving you was the kindest thing that smuck ever did for you deelishis. Hold your head up high and don’t look back. And for all your haterz and for flavor flav .... I hope the truth of deelishis word’s cut thru you like a rusty knife!
Amen.
Come on let’s be fair. You know Delishes wasn’t going to stay with Flav anyways. She was on the show for the 15 minutes of fame just like every other girl on that show. He just left her before she could get a chance to leave him.
Oh plz. Dont be making excuses for him. Ya just know when he was born the doctor slapped his momma. How he gets away with the shit he does i’ll never understand. 15 minutes of fame or not he showed those women on & apparently after the show less respect than a dog.
And they say the ugly ones have personality - YEAH RITE!
Poor flavor flav afraid of rejection?? Dont make me puke! Dude’s just a blinged out piece of turd who’s money cant buy him any class.
Nah, I will NEVER make an excuse for that guy. Everything that you said about him is right. I am just saying all those chicks on that show were about the benjamins and not really interested in him for one minute.
Yeah maybe they were there for the benjamins. But so was flav. Have you ever noticed that the girls on the shows are like - how to word it nicely???. Damaged goods. I guess you’d have to have a few head issues to want to make out with flav.
You are right the women on this “show” are truly damaged. How else would they subject themselves to even making out with that guy. I guess this is the new wave of the future. This is how to get yourself into showbiz. Sad but true.
ushe ia hoe and bicth
I think you are pretty but I look better. People say that I got a fatter ass than you,
do u
God, Flav is ugly… Kudos to the women that can stomach kissing him, because I could never do it. Not for fifteen minutes of fame, not for the money. Whether Deelishis was sincere or not, there’s no way to really know, but one thing I can say is she definitely turned her time on the show into something good for herself and her family, and we can’t be mad at that… So get yours! And rumor was Flav married Liz before season 3 even aired but he was already stuck in contact with VH1 to film because he cashed the cheque! Lol!
London(Deelishis)
I am very proud of the decission you have made. You are a beautiful young lady and have a beauty that must women dream of . You only have one life to live and live it to the upmost. I do believe that you really had a passion for Falv but he chose to go back to the spotlight. Keep moving put God first and you will be fine . i would love to meet you one day but of course that is just a dream. Keep up the good work.
People should give Deelishis some slack. Hell at least she did not make a sex tape and it is all over the internet or sleeping with a retired baller or shaking her goods in rap videos. She has way more class than seventy five percent of the woman who have been on all three seasons of flavor of love. To hell with Flava Flav ugly old crack smoking ass.
I was all gud wit dis interview until i scrolled dwn n seen dis pic. Ha cum Deelishis ole man’s hand iz on da other woman’s laplap…O_o maybe dey needed 2squeeze n closer 4da pic,.r maybe des his sista…..but if it was my man….......... dnt touch
Damn Delisous your ass is so BIG and PHATT, my Dick get freaking bone hard looking at that ass!I know that nigga Flav wanted to hit while the show was taping! I know I would the way y’all was all over each other, if it was me I would be damn near bust one with us big ass all over me! Shit since I can’t be Flav or that new chump you got now I might as well do the next best thing girl. Get one of these pics of U, get my lotion and get busy!!!! & I know u got to know niggas be beating they d*ck to all them phatt ass pics u be putting on the web!! Shit I do!!
London u are such a lady. U always did what u had to do. William is a horny old man trying to cum on younger women. He is very unattractive and I could not imagine kissing him. So the cost of fame is mighty high.You were out of his league anyway. .....they bred us like that here in the “D”.
Do your thing you wouldnt be the first to use someone to get ahead and you wont be the last if that was the case but i dont know why people hating because of that cause they would do the same if given the opportunity they just mad you was and they didnt
