Right. It takes time to cover up an accent. Trust me, I know. And sometimes, it doesn't even work. However, "hood speak" and accents are two different things. I can sound like a "Becky" when I'm chillin', but will revert to "9th Ward RD" when I'm heated. I have never known anyone to LOSE an accent when they are angry. That's the point when you let your guard down and not give a damn if anyone can understand you or not. It's starts flowing.

When she was one-on-one with the camera, she was real loose, saying things like "Yeah homie! That b*tch better sit the **** down before I sit her the **** down!" But, once it was announced that NY was staying, she's "Oh my God! Save me! I am nervous and scared and I'm afraid for my life! She's going to trounce me!" In the house, with Flav, with G Unit, in the restaurant and in front of the camera, she was Buckwild, the hood, down a** white chick. With the snap of a finger, she became BECKY!

FAKE!!!!
