Earlier this week, a video surfaced on the web, showing me on a private tour of New Orleans Saints player, Reggie Bush’s home. The published blog posts about the video have painted me as everything from a “thirsty ho,” to “jump off” to “escort.” These names aren’t insulting, for they’re not true.
As you all know by now, Reggie and I had a brief short lived relationship almost one year ago. During that time, we both were in serious relationships with other people, but we had an “understanding.”
Unfortunately, things hit the fan when Reggie's girlfriend, Kim Kardashian, found out about our secret relationship.
However, I did.
I want to use this column, for Honey, as an opportunity to express how deeply hurt and betrayed I feel. I am shocked and disappointed to see that on the eve of Reggie’s biggest day, his team’s Super Bowl win, the private video I took months ago had surfaced. I believe it was leaked by a former trusted friend and colleague, for his personal gain. It wasn’t my intention for that video to hit the net or distract Reggie from his amazing day. I made that video to let the “nay-sayers” know that I did have proof that he and I were in a relationship. Unfortunately drama continues to follow, but I have moved on from that experience – and still am.
This too shall pass.
Peace.
Carmen Ortega

She says she not a jump off but she basically saying it right here with this sentence. I swear these girl have no shame. Reggie Bush is a loser, that’s why he’s attracted to “women” like this.
this girl needs to go somewhere…

I agree with Moe 200%! For Carmen to say she “was never a jump off” is laughable. Carmen should just stop talking and get more ppl… she needs serious PR work [Carmen I know some talents peeps that can help with your image if you're interested]. And for her to write that she is not insulted by the names she has been called… *blank stare* HONEY YOU SHOULD BE! Those names are ugly and filthy and mean nothing nice about whomever they are said about. Have some more self respect and love for yourself. Clearly you have a few self esteem issues to carry on a relationship with a man who was already in one… then to film yourself in his house to prove it to the “nay- sayers” and to allow that video to be in the hands of another person (who conveniently leaked it the day before Super Bowl Sunday). That shows that you are starved for attention and will do any thing to get it. Please respect and love yourself alot more than that doll. Find worth in who and Who’s you are; find love for who you are; appreciate your talents and use them for positive endeavors. Stop wasting your time and mine on crap like this… I can’t even believe you took the time to write this. I’m equally as shocked that Honey Magazine posted this bologna
I dont get it. Does she want sympathy for being the side line? If you was having secret meetings with my man i’d do more than “throw you under the bus” Sweetie.

No disrespect intended, but I don’t understand why so many of our talented black men continue to bring home trash to their mom? They love their mom and respect them so much yet you don’t date women that reflect your mother I don’t get it. If a beautiful black woman (such as Lauren London, Gabrielle Union, Halle Berry, Tyra Banks) made had a sex tape as Kim Kardashian, she would have been seen as a hoe, slut, bitch, trick, etc. Yet Kim is elevated on a different level; now that is disrespectful. Now I’m just speaking fact here, Nothing against Kim I just feel that it should be a level playing field in all aspects and it’s not. I do also believe that you can choose whomever you like in a relationship. It’s just amazing that it just so happens that a lot of celebrity black men’s relationships are not with black women, yet they still expect for black women to continue to elevate and support them. We can help further your understanding of who you are with struggles that other races may not be able to relate to yet you choose other women. I don’t respect that , nor understand that and will never support that.
You should never forget where you come from. You can’t fully understand where you going if you don’t know where you’ve been. To depend on black women to get you to a specific point and then when you reach your destination, career goal or whatever, In some black men minds the cherry on top is dating, marring someone that doesn’t reflect you or where you’ve been
Something wrong with this picture!!!
LOL Nice Column.. But False! She’s A PAID JUMP-OFF. Carmen Quit Lying, Your A High Paid Prostitute! And All Of Las Vegas And Miami Know It!! I’ve Myself Had Rich Friends Who Come Into Town For A Few Days And Happen To “Use Her Services”. She And A Brazilian Girl Named Olivia Are A Tag-Team. QUESTION If u Don’t Want To Be Believed To Be Hoe, Why Are One Of Your PhotoShoots In Front Of The Biggest VEGAS PIMP’s HOUSE/STUDIO??? Answer That Mama.. And When My Boys From South Asia Say ‘She’s Paid For, FOR THE NIGHT’ they aren’t lying lol (seen it myself) ..I Mean I Give It To Her, Fuckin Billionaires Real Talk! But Tell The Truth, It Is What It Is….. Xoxo
Am telling if Kim will give me permission i will knock her ugly teeth out making it seem like a relationship when he was just fucking and fooling around with u, u have no shame, if he wanted to be in a relationship with u when Kim found out u would still be in a relationship with him, stupid gold-digger whore.
What!?!? She isn’t even making any sense. First she said she didn’t release the video. Then she turned around and said she did it for the naysayser, now which is it. She said she and Reggie were friends way before their fling. Now she is saying they didn’t become close until their fling. Again, which is it? Carmen, being a side piece is not being in a “relationship” with a person. I agree with the other poster, she has serious self esteem problems. She is very confused.
Why is this ho even given a platform to say such stupidity? I’m disappointed in Honey.
does she not realize what she just said? J TO THAT UMP OFF..LOL take my advice honey and just dont say anything else about the situation…cause the whole thing is just not a good look….i really wonder what reggie has to say about carmen……..smdh
LOL And U Say Your Old Colleague/Aspiring Director Friend May Have Leaked the Video! U Dumb Bitch, Unless Ur Best Friend Olivia Is An Aspiring Director (who was the one filming this) U Are Caught Lying Again Dummy
I personally lost a little respect for Honey Magazine with this post. This magazine is supposed to be about female empowerment and they are giving this jump-off her 15 mins. Come on I love y’all but I want y’all to do better….
I agree with all the posters who think Honey Magazine should do better.
This is not empowering to ANY Honeybee, Black, Mixed, Latina, White, or Green.
I do not see why she wrote the first op-ed, nor why your editor greenlighted a second.
She is not saying anything new, empowering, or even interesting.
STFU Carmen O.
Wow… Honey Mag why?? Giving the basic bitch their time to shine. She could of got her story leaked out through another mag but why this one. Anyways she needs to stop writing. Every writer knows to read what they wrote and she spent her 15 minutes of unnessary fame contradicting herself. And Reggie.. why did you even waste the time on a basic bitch like her? You have Kim and even from a straight female point of view, if i could bag i would bagg. Got these little chicks who wish they could be your girl playing house in your crib. Now you look stupid when your team’s victory is over shine by the hoe next door. Back to Ms. Carmen. Why keep videos if its over and your so over it. Why exposed it to friends if what you and him share is so damn deep. Stop trying to have your name out there. Bad press mama. And bad press Honey.. Try and remove this off the website as fast as you can lol.
Girl stoppp! What personal gain is “your friend” getting from leaking this video?? NOTHING. You saying ur not a “jump off” yet you know he has a girl but got this little secret relationship with him when you KNEW he was with Kim. And how can you feel betrayed when you made the video in the first place to prove that yall did have something! So it was meant to get out sooner or later. That’s the reason it’s out now, so that you can (as you said) let naysayers know that yall had something.
So imma need you to stop with the lies, fix your buck teeth, and try again.
We don’t believe u!
Carmen is an idiot. Everyone in Miami knows that she is a professional escort. Does Carmen really think that this would not get out? She was clearly trying to set Reggie up with hidden cameras and now she is upset that people are calling her what she really is “professional escort” paid for her services.
I assume Carmen wrote this piece so I’ll address my comments to her directly. (P.S. I can write without cussing, but you’re a classless whore so the cussing works better for you)
Bitch, you are a jump-off, and a shameless one at that. Don’t even try to rationalize it to yourself. Who the fuck makes a video at a time when Kim hadn’t found out to prove that you had a relationship with him? It means you foresaw that you would run your mouth, people would dispute it, and you would have to prove it.
And this “former trusted friend and colleague” who released this video “for his personal gain” is where? Why hasn’t he surfaced? That’s cuz dear slut, you have been the only one addressing it because your trifling shameless ass released it. Tryna come here and write a letter like a decent human being.
You know he proposed to Kim, right? Do you even get free meals from him? Acting like this was an episode of “Cribs for jumpoffs” with your broke ass. Who displays other people’s houses? That just screams desperation and speaks volumes of your character. Slut.
I met Carmen in Jax years ago. She was nice. We talked about her future goals and stuff. I love how you all run your mouth about her but you never say a thing about Reggie Bush! It takes 2 to tango! Have any of you ever met Carmen?
Hammer a k a Carmen….have you run out of dicks to suck? We dont need to know you to know you are a human mobile toilet. Now go and get your knee pads and get to working
” I made that video to let the “nay-sayers” know that I did have proof that he and I were in a relationship”…………………………………This chick is soooo dumb, if you were in a relationship you wouldn’t need proof…I hate dumb ass people ugh!!!!!!!1
is chick is just a discusting ho!! who hell does she really think she is,,, u aint shit..
carmen u r ugly, nasty, dumb whore, no one cares what u have to say!!!
Bitch u r a whore, Kim is on the Today show filling in for Kathie Lee, whiles you waiting for the next victim to fuck u and give u some money, your plan to destroy their relationship has failed and also how do u explain the sex tape by recording the guy without him knowing, STFU and keep on continuing what u do and that is fuck for money, slut.
Hi, actually I am a guy not Carmen. I hope to reconnect with Carmen some day
SMH……….Could someone please tell Carmen what a “jump off” is. If he is in a “serious relationship” and you two had a “understanding”, then you’re a “jump off”. The understanding usually goes something like this, “I have my main girl, she comes before you, I’m not trying to be in a serious relationship with you, just kick it and have sex.” B1tch you’re a “jump off”. Why the f8ck did you deem it necessary to make a video for the nay-sayers? You’re a thirsty ho trying to prove something. Then how dare you say that Kim threw you under the bus by hitting the blog spots snappin’ on the fact that you are sexing her man? I would’ve brought my fist to your teeth and his, you are lucky it was just with words. Did all of that busting down in Hollywood mess with your common sense. The Game is right, “You Won’t Get Far”. By the way all the names the people called you are so on point, I was able to define two of them for you. Then how dare you use this platform for sympathy, you made yourself look ridiculous. Trick! Ha… there’s another one!
As for Reggie and John Mayer, suck a d!ck.
This Hammer guy…(if you are one) disgusts me. We don’t give a damn about “her future goals and stuff.” I doubt she wants us to since what she gave us was a tour of an athlete’s house by a jumpoff. And no, we don’t want to meet her; we’d rather not catch any stray diseases.
And as for reconnecting with Carmen, I hope you reconnect with your senses first. It’s 2010 dumbass…No bitchassness.
It’s a shame we can’t have more solidarity since we are all women. This is like being in High School, all the girls assuming the guys innocence while spewing hatred at the woman. Absurd. As if none of you have ever been in a stupid situation. If she’s a whore we all have the potential to be whores and if you can treat her like shit someone’s going to treat you like shit. Real talk.
Think about it, this broad is a stranger, why are you guys so upset? Be upset if it happens to you but don’t practice on her. That’s silly.
Carmen, I don’t agree with what you did but I don’t have to, i’m a stranger. If you had fun and didn’t hurt anybody (this includes your work as an escort if you were one) good for you. Having some happiness is more than a lot of people will be able to say at the end.
M
MoneyPenny, you should be ashamed of yourself having sympathy for this tramp. Reggie is not innocent and neither is she. Having sex while you and the other person is already in a relationship then turning around and bragging about it to get under another’s skin is trying to hurt someone.
Hammer, please. You sound like a fool too. Nobody needs to meet her to see how, from the words out her own dumb mouth, she is a nasty, low self esteem having trick. You work, have self respect to achieve your goals. Not go around video taping another person’s home to prove you had sex with them. For what? Not hide a camera in your purse of the two of you having sex. Is that her goals? Whatever. I have accomplished some of my goals in life and none of them had me doing anything disrespectful.
Dear Honey Mag why are you giving this slutbag horse face a column pleassseee honey mag readers are classier than this prostitute giving a tour of reggies home likes she’s wifey material PUHHHLEASE ho ur trife as hell you’ll be lucky if you ever have a man put a ring on it I don’t wanna see her on this site no mo
I hope she reads these comments and beats it
Sincerely, Natasha
Bwuahahaha! Last time I checked, if you’re in a “real relationship” with someone, you don’t need to take a video in order to have “proof.” Chicks like this are an embarrassment for a womankind.
