Tiffany Pollard (born January 6, 1982) is an American actress and reality television contestant, best known for VH1's Flavor of Love and I Love New York. She is currently engaged to George Weisgerber (Tailor Made) and they live together in Queens.

Pollard was given the nickname "New York" by Flavor Flav during the first season of Flavor of Love; she is, to television viewers, more known by her nickname than her given name. She is also known colloquially by her self-proclaimed nickname the "HBIC", which she exclaimed in the series Flavor of Love in an attempt to taunt her fellow competitors.

Early life

Pollard was born in Utica, New York to Michelle Rothschild-Patterson (also known as "Sister Patterson"; born November 17, 1951) and Alex Pollard. Tiffany Pollard attended John F. Kennedy Middle School and graduated from Thomas R. Proctor High School.

Television appearances

Flavor of Love

Main article: Flavor of Love (Season 1)

Pollard clashed with virtually all of the contestants in both seasons, including:

Although these feuds were, in general, nothing more than screaming matches, an incident in the penultimate episode of season one led to violence. After her elimination, an outraged Brooke Thompson spat on Pollard after the two had exchanged words. Pollard vowed to "whoop Pumkin's ass", and attempted to do so at the season one reunion. However, in another VH1 special, "New York" and "Pumkin" were shown making up at a club. Meanwhile, the final two contestants journeyed to Mexico where Flavor Flav chose Nicole "Hoopz" Alexander to be his mate.

Flavor of Love 2

Main article: Flavor of Love 2

After his relationship did not work out with Alexander, Flavor Flav chose to do a second season of his dating show, and invited Pollard to participate nearly halfway through the season. She agreed, but was once again eliminated, finally severing her romantic connection with Flavor Flav. Pollard verbally fought with Flav in the season finale, asking why he had brought her back only to be ultimately eliminated. However, the two announced on the Flavor of Love: After the Lovin reunion show that aired October 28, 2006, that they would remain friends.

In the reunion of the second season, contestants "Bootz", "Deelishis", "Buckeey", "Buckwild", and Saaphyri attempted to physically attack "New York". Numerous security guards protected Pollard keeping the other contestants from harming her. Rumors that Larissa "Bootz" Aurora punched Pollard repeatedly before security escorted "Bootz" away from Pollard are untrue. All the contestants, except "Deelishis", who had won the second season, and Saaphyri were then asked to leave the reunion.

I Love New York

Main article: I Love New York (TV series)

Pollard clashed with virtually all of the contestants in both seasons, including:

  • Kamal "Chance" Givens
  • Patrick "Tango" Hunter

In October of 2006, Pollard announced plans for her own dating show entitled, I Love New York, which premiered on January 8, 2007, on VH1. The series followed the same theme as Flavor of Love, where contestants competed for her affections. The show's finale, which aired on April 2, 2007, the man she chose, Patrick "Tango" Hunter, proposed to her, and after slight hesitation, she agreed to marry him.

On the I Love New York: Reunion show, which aired April 15, 2007, "Tango" ended his relationship with "New York", admitting that the proposal was indeed real, but because of "New York's" disrespect towards his mother when she visited, the engagement was off.

I Love New York 2

Main article: I Love New York 2

In April 2007, VH1 announced plans for a second season of I Love New York shooting in July 2007. The second season maintains the same premise as the first season of I Love New York, in addition to an online casting process by fans. A special, I Love New York 2: Casting Special aired on VH1 allowing viewers to see potential contestants' casting videos and are given the opportunity to vote at VH1's official website.

Another special, I Love New York 2: Casting Special 2, aired on October 1, 2007 to reveal the contestants chosen by fans.

I Love New York 2 premiered October 8, 2007 on VH1.

In the finale, Tailor Made proposed to Tiffany, but was turned down. Tailor Made did, however, win her heart at the end.

Other appearances

Pollard has made guest appearances at the VH1 Big in '06 Awards, along with season two winner, "Deelishis." She also appeared on Flavor of Love Girls: Charm School, The Maury Povich Show, and MTV's Say What Karaoke 2.0 as a judge.

In February 2007, Pollard was a guest on The Tyra Banks Show, where she stated she had feelings for Flav because of his generosity.

Has also appeared in the 5th season of FX's Nip/Tuck, which is currently airing.
