Profile
Name: Eddie Moton Jr. (23) Tribe Designation: Camorta Current Residence: Los Angeles, CA Occupation: Make-Up Artist Interview: „Hello, America! My name is Eddie Moton Jr., 23, from the glorious LA to slay yo‘ favorites! (pretends to bite) I have always been a very friendly and kind of out there person. Y’know, why be boring and normal? Anybody can do that! But looking as fierce as me, that is a real challenge, mhm! I grew up in this really religious family and I was a very sheltered kid because I always knew I was different than everybody else but I felt like I couldn’t tell anybody in my family because they were very strict Catholic people. When I found out I was gay, I basically cried for a few days and mom, after realizing that something was wrong with me, she came up to me and asked me: „What’s going on, Eddie?“ I didn’t want to answer and she said: „Is this because you’re gay?“ And that moment was like such a weight got lifted off my shoulders. After I came to my senses, I was like: „Girl, how did you know?“ And my mom was like: „Honey, when you were six, I had to go out to LA to buy you pink sandals.“ Well, there you go. (laughing) I feel like as far as this game goes, there can only be two ways to go about it. Either people will accept me for being who I am, or they will send me home in a heartbeat. But I won’t put my fire out just because somebody else don’t like it. I never dull my shine for anybody. I know that I am not physically the strongest competitor out there but I have flare, I have sass, I have…y’know, the hysteric black woman inside of me saying: „Bitch, you better watch out ‘cuz‘ Eddie is here to kick yo‘ ass!“ I think I can socially work my way through this game, but I will have to do a lot of making people understand why I love myself the way I am. If they listen to me, it’ll be easier to…y’know, gossip and stuffz.“
