Another time, one of the inmates was showering with the curtain open in front of her girlfriend, who was sitting on a chair watching her lather herself up, let’s just say. I looked the other way and just went about my business. But Madonna mia . . . I did a silent sign of the cross in my head when I saw that. All I could think of was how my dad wouldn’t let me wear a cheerleader skirt—and here these two were acting like they were at home, in the privacy of their bedroom . . . I just kept walking real fast . . .

I have nothing against gays, lesbians, bisexuals, or transgender people. I have a lot of friends who are gay. I saw Caitlyn Jenner on the cover of Vanity Fair and then on the ESPY Awards on TV and thought she looked absolutely beautiful. But having sex with another woman? I’m just not into that. My feeling was Hey, go for it. It’s none of my business—unless it’s happening a couple feet away, in my own bedroom, when I’m trying to sleep! Let’s put it this way: I would feel uncomfortable if a guy and a girl were having sex in the bunk next to me. That said, I still wasn’t going to say squat about any of this because (a) that’s not my style and (b) I was starting to learn what happened if people thought you were a rat and (c) I still had to live with these women for months and months and months.

The ladies in my dorm had their quirks, for sure, and could be territorial over some things. If you accidentally sat in “their” seat in the lunchroom, they would let you know about it. Or if you used the computer they liked to use? They would snap at you and give you some lip. Not the biggest deal. But if you were a snitch? Watch out. That’s when you could get the shit beaten out of you or have the whole camp hating you and tripping you up every chance they got. So I stayed quiet. And humble. If you know me, you know that I’m really down-to-earth. I have no airs about me. I’m a girl’s girl. But a lot of people only know me from TV and the stuff they read in the tabloids. If other inmates thought I was a stuck-up bitch at Danbury, I was truly done for. I had to be careful about that, too.

My feeling was this: no matter where these ladies came from, we were all in this together. For all of us, it was about survival—getting through each day so we could get back to our families and our lives. So why cause trouble? I didn’t like to be the target of drama and I didn’t want to do that to anyone else, either. But not everybody thought the same way I did.

As much as I tried to fly under the radar and avoid having a drama target on my back, I couldn’t, because of my pals in the media.
