Milyn Jensen: I mean, I’m really known from the reality show, so discussing it is not an issue or anything. As far as what I’m doing, I’m basically at a point where if it happens, it happens, and if it doesn’t, then it just doesn’t. I know people that when they get to do what I’ve done, they choose to stick with it, like reality shows. They want to keep going with it and doing more reality shows. I did not sign up for this, and I did not audition. TV was not anything I thought about doing. Now I just feel like if more opportunities keep falling into my lap, then I’ll keep doing it.
Urban Grandstand Digital: So not seeking it, how does a nursing student end up doing the Bad Girls Club?
Milyn Jensen: I guess I’ve always just had a really big personality. I talk a lot. Honestly, I think I’m really shy. I never liked speaking in front of class, I get anxiety in large groups. People just have always thought I was someone big. The energy and vibe I give off is just who I am. I don’t watch reality tv, so when they asked me to do it, I was like “I don’t know”. My mom was saying to do it, and she thought I would be good for TV. Apparently it worked.
Urban Grandstand digital: Are there any regrets in the show?
Milyn Jensen: I wouldn’t say I regret doing the show. I just hate the name attachment. People hear Bad Girls’ Club, and they frown. I had friends who saw it, and they were like oh my god, it’s fighting. Going into the house, it was completely different. The girls were timid. I’m a free spirit and having fun. It was really my life, but just with cameras. I was comfortable. So I don’t regret filming. I do regret the production crew. That’s my only issue.
Urban Grandstand Digital: So given your goals, and the fact you say you don’t watch reality TV, would you do more?
Milyn Jensen: I feel like I would do it again. It was fun and normal for me. It was natural. People would think it was uncomfortable, but i forgot the camera was there.
Urban Grandstand Digital: So where do you go now? I realize you want to get into more serious acting, so how do you get there coming from Bad Girls Club?
Milyn Jensen: Well I had my first audition. I was really excited because my dream is to do a horror film. I’m obsessed with doing a scary movie. That’s what I really want to do. I didn’t get the part, but the experience of auditioning was great. I never had acting lessons, so to just go in and do an audition was great. They said for no training I actually did a good job.
Urban Grandstand Digital: So given your desire to really pursue acting, do you have any plan to take advantage of acting lessons or get a coach?
Milyn Jensen: I do, but, I know so many people in the industry. I went to lunch with a friend of mine who is on that acting side, but more with producing and directing. She told me about an acting seminar her friend had, and she was breaking it down for me. I told her about my audition, and she gave me some advice on what to do next time. She explained in the seminar, they basically say people waste money in those classes when it’s really about being in touch with your inner feelings. That’s what will sell. They want it to be real and you become the actual character. So I don’t know if I really want to waste my money on it.
