She’s back!

Indeed, Tiffany Pollard – better known as New York for fans of VH1 reality television shows ‘Flavor of Love’ and its spin-off ‘I Love New York’ – is making her way back to a screen near you with the recently unveiled ‘Ratchet Queens’.

“Tambor is a defense attorney representing a very high-profile celebrity woman chef who thought she was being pursued by a rapist and turned around it was a teenager. And she shot him.There’s a lot of stop and frisk elements to that as well.”

He went on to add:

“It was really interesting to see people read that script and have different interpretations about who did what and whether or not they deserved prison for it. It was fascinating. For better or for worse, this is a good season. It’s almost like we’re being bombarded by headlines. It’s tricky, but we’ll be doing that a lot this season.”
