‘I actually just signed with a really good acting agency,’ she said.
‘So I want to get into that and I want to really separate myself from reality TV,’ she continued.
‘My agent said “because you’re so established in reality TV and everyone knows your name it’s gonna be really hard to separate yourself from that.”
‘So that might be a bit of an uphill battle but we’ll see what happens.’
