I Love New York's Biography

Tiffany Pollard, best known as "New York", came to her rise to fame in 2006; when she went on a reality dating show called Flavor of Love. She went on the show to compete for the love of a Hip Hop pioneer, Flava Flav of Public Enemy. Even though, ultimately, she did not win the competition, she made a name for herself, by being the self proclaimed "H.B.I.C." (Head Bi*ch In Charge). A term she used to describe herself often.

Born January 6, 1982, and raised in Utica, New York. Ms Pollard graduated from Thomas R. Proctor High School. She has an older brother named Derrick and uses both her parent's surnames because her parents were not married. She has always wanted to be an actress and definitely became a fan favorite for her loud mouth, volatile temper, bad attitude, and her DD implants. As a result, the twenty-seven year old reality star earned herself a surprise comeback on the Flavor of Love 2 where she, once again, did not win the love of Flava Flav. What she did do was cause more fights and arguments. It almost seems as if Ms. Pollard could not get along with the other girls and they did not get along with her. It was rumored that during the reunion show that she got into a physical altercation with another female on the show.

Regardless, she was offered to do a spin off of reality show of her own, where men would be competing for her affection. I Love New York aired in 2007. The show was a success and Ms. Pollard (aka New York) was proposed to on air. Unfortunately, the engagement was short lived when her fiancée called off the engagement, on air, because he had felt disrespected on the show after seeing it air. Once again, VH1 decided to bring Ms. Pollard back for a second season of I Love New York. And once again, the show was a success. Ms. Pollard found a new love, and he to proposed to her on air twice. She accepted the second time and it seemed like they were happy.

In 2008, VH1 offered Ms. Pollard another opportunity to star in her own reality show again. Since she had found love, they wanted to focus on Ms. Pollard pursuing her dream of being an actress. The show was called New York Goes to Hollywood and it aired in 2008. During the taping of this show she ended her engagement. With this show being a success, once again, VH1 offered Ms. Pollard, yet again, another opportunity to star in another spin off called New York Goes to Work. She agreed. The show aired in 2009. This show was a little different. This time the public got to be involved. Basically it was up to her fans to decide what job she would work each week. If she completed the job successfully she would be paid ten thousand dollars per job. The show has just finished airing and I am not sure what is next for Miss Tiffany Pollard but she is on her way.

She has made special appearances on the Flavor of Love Girls: Charm School and Nip/Tuck. She has been a guest on the Tyra Banks Show, Chelsea Lately, Jimmy Kimmel Live, Maury, and What Perez Sez. She also tested her acting skills in the movies and on stage in The Clean Up Woman, Vagina Monologues, and The First Sunday, and has a role in the upcoming movie due out in 2010 The Trial of Chicago Seven.
