She behaved very badly on Top Model this season. Does Monique, a 19-year-old marketing representative from Chicago, have any regrets? Here?s what she had to say in our interview.

Q: How are you feeling about the Top Model experience now?

A: I feel it was a good experience. It was a huge learning experience. I?m really happy I did it.

Q: When you were leaving, you said something like the show was a waste of time. Were you angry at that time? Do you still feel that way?

A: It was tweaked, so you guys didn?t get to hear everything that I said.

I said it was a waste of time for me to come there and not give it my all and to get sick.

Q: And how do you feel about being voted off after being sick that week? Should they have given you a break?

A: Well, it?s a competition, and they critique the girls off of their pictures, and if you don?t have a photo to produce, what do they have to judge, you know? And also, my energy was like gone. At that time, my body was so like strained that I had no drama to give. So it was kind of like, ?what is she still doing here, you know??

Q: Do you have any regrets about your behavior on the show?

A: You know, I don?t have any regrets about my behavior on the show because that?s not me. I know that?s not me. That was just me performing. If there?s anything that I regret it was getting sick. I wish I had taken vitamins like my mom had told me, so I could keep my immune system up so I wouldn?t have gotten sick.

Q: So, you?re saying you were actually performing for the cameras?

A: Yes.

Q: Why did you do that?

A: Because I didn?t want to just be a face on the show.

I didn?t want people to be like, ?Oh, that?s the girl from Top Model.? I wanted them to be like ?That?s Monique from Top Model. That crazy girl." I didn?t just want to be a face.

Q: Do you think you will have to rebuild your reputation now?

A: I definitely know that that?s going to happen. People are going to assume that I?m this way. But whenever I meet people, they?re like ?Oh, my God, that?s so not you!??Everybody that knows me likes me.

Q: Are you going to be on the Tyra Banks show?

A: Yes, I am going to be on there.

Q: Are you nervous about that?

A: (Sighs.) You know, I don?t know if I?m nervous about it. I?ve already done it. I?m just waiting for it to be aired. I?m just kind of disappointed about how it went. But that?s a whole ?nother story. I don?t want to get into it right now.

Q: Will you keep in touch with the other girls from the show?

A: I?m hoping that I can keep in touch with some of these girls and if not, it?s not the end of the world. ?(Inaudible).. I?m not worried about it.

Q: Is there anything else you?d like to say?

A: I would like to thank God and Tyra for giving me the opportunity. And keep watching because the girls aren?t done yet!
