Tila Tequila: The Real Reason Love Ended in Heartache

Tila Tequila, star of the hit MTV reality show "A Shot at Love," is speaking out to "Extra" about what really went down between she and the show's winner, Bobby Banhart.

Contrary to reports that Bobby wasn't able to contact Tila, she tells us, "We couldn't see each other for 2 months after (the finale), and we only talked on the phone. Just naturally, people kind of move on with their lives. We tried our best to keep in touch and keep it going, but after a while, all of this camera stuff, he just couldn't handle it."

How did the relationship end? "He called me a few days before New Years and broke it off! Why would he leave these?," Tila declared, pointing to her breasts.

As for the runner up, lesbian contestant Dani Campbell, Tila says, "I keep in touch, but I try not to keep in touch with everyone because I'm starting over. She's a great person and we're still friends."

A second season of "A Shot at Love" will be filming soon, and Tila admits, "I'm still looking for love. I don't want to go to clubs all the time, so we're gonna do it all over again."


NEXT: Work Out Like a Playmate

 

Bobby was really jealous of everyone on the show. I knew he couldn’t handle the attention you got. He proved that when it was down to the last 3. Think about how he acted. I think you loved the idea of being able to show and teach him new things but it would have gotten old. Its great you stay in contact with Dani, what about Brandi? I’m glad you got rid of Amanda she was always trying to pose for the camera and get exposed. Amanda didn’t care about you. Best of luck to you. Need new people for your show look me up for it.
Have fun and don’t change who you are!!!!

I THINK YOU ARE SEXY AS HELL EVEN THOUGH YOU ARE BI BUT YOU STILL DESERVE LOVE EITHER WAY SO KEEP LOOKING AND YOU WILL FIND SOMEONE WHO CAN HANDLE WHAT YOUR LIFE IS AND WON’T GIVE UP SO EASY.BESIDES YOU ARE POPULAR AND CAMS ARE ALWAYS IN YOUR FACE SO THAT COMES WITH THE PACKAGE.

Bobby was like anyone that doesn’t get time with their special someone…he left. I don’t blame him and I would have done th same. Frustration and lonliness lead you to do and say things no matter who you are dealing with. I have had friends in the past that were the same way and who wants to lead a fake life with someone. You were too hot for Bobby anyways Tequila!!! You are a video vixen and Bobby was a regular dude. You should have other celebrities on your show and famous video chicks cuz then you would meet your match. You are an Icon for the millenium and a regular dude will never be able to hang with that!!!

Girl i watched your show from the beginning and you and dani would make a great couple, she is sincere and i think she would have given all of what she had in her life up for you. Give her another chance, i know it would work. She is real and bobby was fake from the beginning. Give dani another shot, i know love when i see it. Ya’ll have it trust me.

lots of love

When is season 2 gonna start?
In the end I think she should have picked Danni or Brandi. Or Brandi & Vannessa should’ve hooked up and Tila & Danni stay together. It was kinda sexy the way Brandi got in Vannessa’s face at the reunion.. I think they were feelin something there.
Anyway.. I was hopin the gurls would’ve won.

I hate to admit this but my two daughters 9&7 were as hooked on this show as I was. We picked Dani from the first night. I’m married to a firefighter and know there is something hot about those bunkers! The moment you chose Bobby my heart sank…..we pulled for Dani and felt as though our hearts were broken. I believe if you and Dani spent some time together things would heat up again……..pleeeeease!!

Tila is a liar.

What she is doing (with this TV show, etc) is wrong. She seems like a nice girl, but I hope she realizes what she is doing.

Dude, what the hell is wrong with people, BOBBY was fine as hell and a great guy. It might of happened even if Tila chose Dani instead of Bobby!! I still think Bobby’s the BEST!!!! So, it didn’t work out, there’s a second chance at a shot at love with Tila Tequila! I’ll watch!!! Love ya Tila your cool as hell!!

i think that this show was set up just like all theses other shows. isnt it funny how bobby is an actor, he said so in his myspace…hmmm weird. he prob “broke up” wit tila bc mtv wants to make more money on the show since it did so good the 1st time around. i think how its funny how every show seems to go for another season. i love new york 2, rock of love 2, flavor of love, etc. all of this made me realize its fake!!!!!!

Well i thought this would work for you.
I will wish you the best of luck, and let you know i know how you feel, i am sorry. I have been there a few times, I don’t think men know what they want. They are full of it. Good luck! Hope you figure out what you need. Thats why i live by myself mostly. Men are pigs.
