I think this interview shows just how smart she is. She speaks in respectful ways towards all former Danity Kane members. No where have i seen her tarnish their image with snide comments like others from Making the Band have.

Note how everyone thinks shes an idiot and another "dumb blonde" then are shocked when she opens her mouth and speaks, no one expects her to be wise. Sure some of her decisions are not great in your/our eyes...but she is in the public eye none the less. She is in the news more than Diddy is.
Danity Kane was agreat girl group that ended too soon and its a shame, but at least she recognizes the talents of the other girls; while some may not acknowledge hers.
