Speaking exclusively to Us Weekly, Brittany opened up about the difficult experience, saying, “It was definitely complicated. It was very hard, I am not going to lie.”

She described some of the moments that were particularly challenging: “Even when they put the bag on my head on the bus, that was hard. It was something that was scary — even though I knew that we were safe — and it was still just terrifying.”

As for the criticism that she didn’t put in enough effort, Brittany firmly addressed the rumors. “A lot of people think I didn’t try very hard. I really tried. It was just very, very, very complicated.”

She explained the factors that made the experience tougher for her: “I wasn’t physically fit at the time and I was going through different things in my life at the time.”

Brittany also revealed the emotional strain of being away from her family: “I had also never been away from my son [Cruz] that long before. There were just a lot of different factors that were playing against me. I was in my own head.”

Despite the challenges, Brittany said she values the experience and has no regrets. “I’m so glad I did it. If I would do it over again, I would work out harder and be in a better place in my life. But I don’t take it for granted.”

It was disappointing. I wish she would have put a little more effort into it.

Which of her reasons for wimping out couldn't she have foreseen when she first signed up? Her need to be in decent physical shape? Her separation from her child? All the "other" difficult things in her life? Of course, leaving early gained her some attention, which like all these her attention- whores on reality TV she craves more than life itself.

The sadistic "staffer" about summed it up when he said to her, "So you got your check and now you're wussing out, huh?" I did some research, and it turns out these gluttons for punishment do in fact get paid up front (a certain amount) whether they complete the program or not. They all get different amounts depending on the level of their "celebrity", so I'm guessing KFC took her $100 check and ran waddled away.

“I wasn’t physically fit at the time…” ^^^^^ ‘Nuff said. She should have left it at that. Blaming Jax for her failures in life is going to become a pattern even those closest to her will soon tire of, and it will only serve to stunt her growth. She chose him and the ripple effects that inevitably come with the whole package of such a man. I say swallow that bitter pill and move the eff on cuz it’s HER dumbassery that bound her 18+ yrs. to this man through procreating with him. She was warned repeatedly about Jax even by her own eyeballs and yet…????

I googled her, and google would never lie. Oh wait ...

Lol. If she put down the bottle, she’d probably be a 1/2 decent ‘ambassador’. As sh*tty as Jax was to her, he was right about that! Us b*tches can seriously PACK on some el bees at the bottom of the ol’ bottle. ? Worse than the menz. That’s just how that cookie crumbles. Ya ain’t gonna lose weight guzzling booze. And if that’s all the calories you consume, you’re still gonna get that skinny-fat unhealthy look.

Jax was also right about what she said in her confessional on the show ... that Jax told her that she wouldn't last a day. He obviously knows her well. BTW, having those 66 triple D's removed (that Jax bought her) would be a good start.

Yes on both counts. Poor thing. Bless her heart. ?
