Jenny From Frank the Entertainer in a Basement Affair Blames Editing

From Latoya West, About.com GuideJanuary 24, 2010

Follow me on:

Jenny JonesJenny, the contestant who was eliminated from Frank the Entertainer in a Basement Affair because of a supposedly scandalous pic, says the show was edited to make her seem more reserved than she really was.

"They edited that," she wrote during a Twitter conversation with Basement Affair contestant Cathy. "To make it look like I was EXTRA reserved, when it wasn't like that."

Basement Affair editors might have also been exaggerating when they chose to blur the photo that led to Jenny being eliminated by Frank the Entertainer. (See the photo posted by Jenny here.)
"So what if I can take a sexy pic?" Jenny wrote. "I wasn't naked n the blurred out pic was over the top. Lol I was no where near naked."

And that's not all. Jenny also had another complaint while tweeting on Sunday. "Editing is a mfo!" she wrote. "Why would I EVER say the girls r jealous of RENEE?????"

Well, we can't say we're surprised to find out that a reality show went overboard in the editing room, but it's always good to hear from the contestants themselves. Gotta love Twitter for bringing us those instant updates.

When Jenny got ELIMINATED”, Enterainer lost a viewer???
ME!
I don’t see what was so wrong with Jenny picture for Frank to ELIMINATE Her. The picture was an excuse to get rid of Jenny.
Frank really want a girl of his kind; not Jenny.
I think it was terrible the way Frank parents talked to Jenny during the ELIMINATION. Believe it those other contestants have had their fAKE BOOBS hangin out somewhere!!
This episode was ridiculous; trying to make Jenny look like she was a bad person when she was not.

Look at FRANK– He SUCKED New York TOes on I LOVE NEW YORK Show!!! that was ridiculous. Maybe this is why Jenny did not want to Kiss him!

Well no more watchin Enterainer show for me.

its not about the picture…it’s about her acting one way with him when she’s totally a different way…She has sexy pics online…that’s not as conservative as she tries to act on the show….

(3) Dee says:

Let’s be honest here…. Jenny didn’t go on the show for Frank anyway. She’s a typical 20-something attention whore who was hoping that this show would be her ticket to stardom. Regardless of the editing, she NEVER really appeared to be interested in Frank anyway. She just didn’t want to “lose” the competition, but that had nothing to do with her feelings – or lack thereof – for Frank. These girls are all desperate, but it’s great entertainment for me (even if it’s at their expense).

(4) Peedubs66 says:

They lost yet another viewer in me. Today’s episode was ridiculous. The picture issue was overblown. All of these girls probably have a picture like this. Bottom line, they weren’t in to each other and I am glad Jenny got off before making out with that loser.

Goodness gracious!! She was the reason I even watched this show. Jenny, you can do much better. Someone like……ME ! lol

Not the type you take home to mother, lol

(7) Aaron says:

Jenny wasn’t there for Frank, but at the sametime Frank was the one in her face from jump. She wasn’t in his face saying Frank oh I just want to be with you. Frank didn’t want to chase, it was all the producers idea. Frank’s parents should be ashamed how they talked to Jenny and Jenny shouldn’t of came on the show cause she wasn’t feeling Frank. Be real and honest.

well i the picture was not even dirty at all but y do they do these shows and suppossedely are supposed to be real people looking for love then they edit it to hell so jenny couldnt be herself if she even wanted to!!

January 25, 2010 at 12:45 am
(9) Elizabeth Rose says:

Although, I agree that the picture was not as tasteless as VH1 made it out to be, I do however understand why he eliminated her. She acted like she was a miss innocent, classy, oh I have never had a boyfriend type of girl. Any woman who can take a picture like that has had boyfriends and been around the block at least a little bit. She Lied, plain and simple. The moral to the story is don’t act like your something your not, the truth will come out.

Bottom line is Frank sends Jenny home for a pic that aint nothing and dude was in love wit Becky aka Buckwild and she just nasty so no love for Frank on that 1

January 25, 2010 at 1:33 am
(11) Ulrika Johnson says:

Oh please those pics were nothing. I’m sure those other ladies on there will have some old pics of them nude or doing porn come out on some gossip blog. They needed an excuse to get rid of the black chick. You know Frank’s parents wouldn’t be having that!

January 25, 2010 at 2:09 am
(12) Ann says:

Classy? Regardless of what Jenny says, that picture isn’t classy or the epitome of the sort of photo a “classy” woman who is introverted AND has “never had a boyfriend” puts on the internet. Facts are that she wanted on tv, she wasn’t interested in the person remotely at all (its all just for tv anyway), and she wasn’t scared of flashing her bra and some cleavage at a photographer. There’s something likeable (yet low-brow) about Frank, and this show’s enjoyable at least, like a dirty little secret. At least it seems less scripted and has more surprises than that Secrets of Aspen extremely scripted freak fest that I’m hoping VH1 will have the sensibility to cancel sooner rather than later. Ugh. I turn the channel every time it comes on, now.

January 25, 2010 at 2:30 am
(13) Mikey says:

I’m pretty bummed out about the elimination, I’m going to miss seeing Jenny on my T.V screen.

We all already know “reality” T.V is pretty much bogus, I bet you that well over half the girls are just there for T.V

What was the last VH1 couple to stay together? I think the only one I’ve heard of was Daisy and London.

Mad love for Jenny, and that pic is real sexy. Not sure if I’ll still be watching the show, I’m starting to not get as interested in these anyway. To repetitve now…

January 25, 2010 at 6:09 am
(14) itsme says:

Well I will not be watching any longer. Jenny was the only interesting character on the show, including frank and his tasteless family.

January 25, 2010 at 9:39 am
(15) allie says:

I’m so glad she’s gone! she was stupid anyways, and you could tell she totally did not like him at all! and she never had a boyfriend, come on now?? BYE JENNY!!!!!!! what a phony!

January 25, 2010 at 12:19 pm
(16) Set It Straight! says:

Alright….The bottom line is Jenny wasn’t eliminated because of the picture! I saw the picture and it was nothing! Jenny wasn’t even nude, she was wearing a brawl! Jenny was eliminated because she wasn’t into Frank at all! From the first episode Frank showed Jenny alot of attention and Jenny blow him off! Jenny kept saying Frank needs to fight for her? She got it twisted, its Frank show, not Jenny’s? So Frank realized Jenny just wasn’t interested him at all, she just probably wanted her 15 minutes of Fame? Let’s be honest, she is not a pretty girl! She kept saying she was used to guys chasing her? She has a decent body, but her face is trashed! Frank just has a thing for sisters! So there you have it, Jenny played herself, I would have eliminated her third behind Stephanie ,Mandy and before Tammy!

January 25, 2010 at 2:10 pm
(17) the truth says:

Jenny got haters but truth be told she didnt want Frank. CUM ON a 40 year old man living at home wit his parents but Jenny is cute

January 25, 2010 at 3:23 pm
(18) William says:

Even with a photo of that nature,he still dosen’t deserve a girl of her statue.He has no class & comes from a family of judgemental inconsiderate fools.He has nothing going for him and still shows no effort of doing so.If he deserved a better woman,i would hope that he does that after getting a college education and a job that will support himself and his parents who deserve his help after years of tolerating his nonsense.His father is ill and he has the nerves to bring a show into his home for his benifit once again.when will he think of someones welfare but his own?Jenny comes from a succesful family,she respects people,carries herself well,and lives a productive lifestyle…..she is superb!! He comes from trash and his mothers mouth proves it!!

January 25, 2010 at 3:34 pm
(19) Tia says:

I am a black girl and I am on Team Frank with this one. From the jump start I was rooting for Jenny because she was black and beautiful but then after seeing how she was acting like she was better than the rest of the girl and acting like she was better than Frank, I started to get suspicious of her. Then today on the show when the preview said I found this on the internet, I was hoping and praying that it was not Jenny, and it was. Then when I thought about it, I’m glad her ass is gone. She acted one way all innocent AND THE BIGGEST LIE OF ALL SHE NEVER HAD A BOYFRIEND? YEAH RIGHT AND MICHELLE OBAMA IS WHITE TOO! She reminds me of all the mean pretty girls in highschool who used to make fun of me. Bye bye bitch Frank can do so much better than you

January 25, 2010 at 6:03 pm
(20) ClassyKassy says:

How silly was the elimination…for a photo of Jenny wearing something she practically wore for the baseball game. Give me a break. The show is tasteless and from what I see…low budget. Jenny was in it for reasons other than dating and that’s why she is gone. He didn’t want her to have the opportunity to capitalize on her 15 minutes just as he is doing.

The pix looked no different than a swimsuit. He got rid of the girl with a pix over a girl wanting to have sex with him on the beach.

January 25, 2010 at 10:55 pm
(21) roxieB says:

that pic isnt bad at all. and i’m not on jenny’s side, but its possible to go thru life not having any boyfriends. you can date 100 guys and sleep with all of them and still be able to say you’ve never had a boyfriend. as long as you dont make it an exclusive bf/gf relationship, it doesn’t count. she never said she was a virgin. i’m assuming she’s dated lots of guys but just never anything exclusive and i don’t blame her for that. but you can also tell she wasn’t into frank at all. she’ll prolly get her own show now lol.

January 26, 2010 at 1:13 am
(22) Mob Heata Entertainment says:

I agree with mostly everyone, Jenny wasnt there 4 Frank. She had the belief that Frank is suppose to come to her on his OWN show lol. She never had a bf? I highly doubt that but its believible, she was snobby and conceded also notice how she said “I never had a boyfriend before” but she never said she wasnt a vergin. lol hahahaha skeezer!

January 26, 2010 at 2:38 am
(23) MD says:

It’s certainly possible that she has not had a boyfriend, I mean she didn’t say she doesn’t date or even hasn’t had sex so I don’t understand all the haterade…besides, the way that these shows are edited are always for ratings, not the truth….I think at first she was there for Frank but decided differently with all the other women throwing themselves on him, certainly I believe she could have stepped it up but the picture was absolutely nothing in addition to us not knowing the when/where/how but it wasn’t cool how his family spoke to her about it…

but I guest that’s where the saying people who live in glass houses think they can throw stones comment comes from….

January 26, 2010 at 3:22 am
(24) AB says:

Im not conservative, but Id never put naked pictures of myself online. Rule of thumb dont take naked pictures, they always end up somewhere you didnt expect. Also if youre going to take a picture looking sexy in bra and panties make sure its decent looking i.e. matching.

January 26, 2010 at 9:51 am
(25) Jose says:

ahhh the ignorance and stupidy, i can’t believe black people think frank or vh1 are racists because they kicked her off the show lol look i never dated a black women before, but does that make me a racist….no! you fools have to grow up.

January 26, 2010 at 1:42 pm
(26) Rita says:

NONE of the girls are really up there for FRANK! All the girls that go on these shows are just trying to be on tv, because NONE of these relationships EVER work out!! How many winners of these VH1 reality love shows are still with that person???
But neway, I saw the picture, and it was nothing serious!! She was less covered in the Bikini Softball GAME!!!!!! And I’m sure editing DID make her seem more conservative than she really was, so blah blah blah… TV REALITY SHOWS ARE STUPID!!! But I still love to watch them all!! LOL

January 26, 2010 at 6:26 pm
(27) Nicole says:

i get where she’s coming from. yeah she’s taken sexy pictures, but she still wants to be treated like a lady. what’s wrong with that. i bet if you google the other girls you’ll find pictures just like this one. smh.

January 26, 2010 at 7:09 pm
(28) tree says:

Jose, U freaking idoit No one mention anything about Frank being a racist I think ur stupid latino ass is the racist.

January 26, 2010 at 7:50 pm
(29) amorr999 says:

What is wrong with that picture? NOTHING. SHE IS NOT NUDE AT ALL!What is Frank thinking about? Is he nuts? I really think Frank is racist and he just wanted a reason to get rid of Jenny. So he went online and found a picture of her and told a big lie that the picture was x rated when it wasn’t not by a long shot. His parents had no right talking to Jenny the way they did and I feel that Frank and his parents owe Jenny a big apoligy for how they treated her. She did not deserve that kind of treatment that she got from them! Anyway, Jenny deserves better. She don’t need no man who she will have to support and she don’t need anyone who is 31, unemployed, and still living at home with his parents in their basement!She don’t need that zero! and that is exactly what Frank is a ZERO!!!!!!!!

(30) areYouPeopleForReal says:

i don’t understand why the producers kicked the two hottest ones off the show right before the softball game.

who’s making these decisions at vh1….helllooo???

January 26, 2010 at 10:17 pm
(31) J says:

I dont think Frank is racist (and Im black) but I do think he was sexist. If a man presented himself conservatively but choose to pose ALONE in a sexually explicit position, a female would PROBABLY not kick him off their show. Oh well… I was trying to support his … and get him out of his momma and poppa’s basement but he lost me after that. Even after that (crazy …) NY gave him a second chance with ALL his Issues, he had no convo for Jenny, gave her no second chance — all over some BS. But people just start to believe they are the best thing since slice bread when they get on these reality shows. Jenny can do MUCH better.

January 27, 2010 at 12:43 am
(32) Brandy says:

Jenny is beautiful ! So what if she takes a sexy almost every has took one that loves there and why wouldn’t she love her body . She was not naked she was in her undies there’s a difference its like being in a bikini . She was not putting a front that’s probably how she is. Just if she not throwing herself like all the other girls. And that’s what tick him off his lost big time his mom and dad need to shut their mouth judge themselves before they judge someone else . The ones that should go home are christy,cathy and her friend .

January 27, 2010 at 2:16 am
(33) jovan says:

yea, there was lots of reasons why jenny got kicked off, I think it was not the picture or pictures, I think she was not into frank, but it was wrong how they portrayed her on TV like she was two different people, I think they should have kept her on, she was in my opinion, one of the sexiest girls on the show if not the sexiest.

January 28, 2010 at 1:42 am
(34) alexis says:

Okay,,, Jenny looked AMAZING on the pic. There was nothing to be ashamed of from her end..VH1 on the other hand should be ashamed for trying to potray her as some porn model… and so what if she didn’t really want him! Everyone has alternative motives when going on dating reality shows… kudos to Jenny, I think ur exit timing was perfect! U made a gracefully entrance & conducted urself as a lady & spent just enuf time on screen to get recoginition…. and without having to lower ur standard like the rest of the girls on the show! YOU WIN GIRL! Rest assured the producers will be calling you soon… meanwhile entertainer will still be a loser :-)

January 28, 2010 at 2:26 am
(35) emerylaney says:

But u got hated on 4 having a sexy pic. But real talk he don’t know what 2 do with a beautiful black woman like u anyway. The show sucks now n its all kind of woman with funny shape noses anyway. Lol.

January 28, 2010 at 2:52 am
(36) Manny Dingo says:

Man,
that was a fake reason to get rid of the girl. The picture was not even bad. VH1 is full of bullcrap. They blurred out the picture to make it seem like it was scandalous. It was beautiful. Franks parents are rude, nasty and ass-holes to talk to the girl like that. Low class, and VH1 has no class.

January 28, 2010 at 4:45 pm
(37) timothy says:

Lol its just a reality tv show anyways! who cares! he will end up picking the final girl and then she will probably end up leaving him in like a week lol lol

January 29, 2010 at 8:05 pm
(38) magicalbean says:

First= Jenny is cute as hell and every guy wants a cute girl who can also be sexy like that!

Second= Editing can make any situation look like anything else they want it to look like.

Third= I used to work as an Agent’s assistant in LA, and saw plenty of clients being cast on “Reality” shows and Game shows, so take what you see with a grain of salt…
