SALT LAKE CITY (ABC 4 News) - Michelle Money has largely become this season's villainess on Bachelor 15. Michelle is not allowed to talk about The Bachelor, but she says she is doing her best to stay positive as the drama unfolds. For her, that translates to not watching the show, and not reading the gossip columns. Instead she is focused on the premier of her first starring role in Midway to Heaven which is slated for release on February 4th.

"There's always going to be people that have something negative to say. there's always going to be someone who starts some rumor and you know you just can't win them all." She describes herself as an easy target. "I am definitely assertive, like I am who I am."

Michelle says who she really is; is a single mom, who adores her five year old daughter, and hopes to find Mr. right, and settle down. "I am definitely a family girl. In the big scheme of things, what I really want is a family. That’s all that matters." She also hopes to raise a daughter who knows what matters. One who is strong, and faithful. "More than anything, I want my daughter to grow up knowing she is a daughter of god, that she is beautiful inside and outside, and that she can do anything she puts her mind to.

Michelle says her own life has not been without challenges. "It’s been an interesting last few years for me." She says she has made a few mistakes along the way. "I don't have any regrets in my life. I’ve made bad choices, we all do, but I have learned from them."

She says she has learned that others, especially young women, also struggle with challenges... she would like to reach out to them, even start a program to install confidence. "You know it's a really hard world we live in right now." Michelle hopes to make it just a little better. "Loving and giving back, and loving, that's what it's all about. End of story."

newsgirl8. yea right lemme post my email addy for you. LOL Look. It is just SAD to see people driven by such narcissism, greed and fame/infmay. To the point where they are extorting money (which is just another form of stealing), cheat and lie. Sure people have pasts, and make mistakes. Yes, people can learn from them and move forward. However, the choices people make and have made will still reflect on their character. Especially when the only thing they learn is how to live my a more deviant/altered code of ethics. Then adopt some skewed sense of self superiority. Some how Michelle has managed to climbed to her position in life by stepping on others, and looking good while doing it. That is why people are "airing" her dirt. People in the spotlight need to be accountable for their actions in the past, now and in the future. Because there will be people who will see/watch adopt/emulate admire or whatever.....their actions previous and past should be out there for others to make informed opinions and decisions about.

I grew up with Michelle Cartwright Money she needs to change her last name back to Cartwright and not go by her Ex-husband name Ryan Money, She still keeps Money because she says she dose not want to ruins her family name because of her bad choices. She dose come from amazing Latter Day Saint Family I know her family very well, in holladay Utah . She has a lot of dirty tricks up her sleeve, Here are the True Facts: Yes on the Boozer stories is TRUE, but in more detail, She told Boozer that if she didn’t pay off her $16,000 credit card payment she was go tell his wife, So he did, the last time we talk she said that he did. She also got pregnant in high school with her high school boyfriend and gave it up for adoption, because at the time she was modeling and through her molding agency she had the opportunity to be a in one of the famous Back Street Boys music Videos so after the baby was born she gave it up and spent the summer in California pursing her acting/modeling career . We also went to the same beauty college called Hairtage College of Beauty where Michelle she always causing drama at school, but we became good friends, I just learned that Michelle was right on everything or else. Michelle hates competition, and loves the attention.

Everyone makes poor choices, and everyone learns from them and moves on. I don't care about Michelle's past. My problem with her is she feels like because she is beautiful she deserves more attention than the other bachlorettes. In my opinion, she makes herself look like she is a crazy, selfish, spoiled brat and feels like the world owes her. I have an issue with the way she talks, the way she refers to herself as the best and lets not forget when she kisses Brad Womack "that fireworks are going to go off, and she will be making babies with him" Really??? Unless you are narcissistic, no one would state that on national television! I hope that if Brad does pick her for his wife,and trust me, I hope she walks home and he doesn't pick her, that she can look past her own desires to make a good partner.

Its so sad for those of you who feel you need to air Michelle's dirty laundry. Everyone has a past, Everyone makes bad choices in life. If we could all go back and erase a choice or two I'm sure Michelle would choose a few things differently and I'm sure those of you who want to post her bad life choices would change a few things of your own, and by the way, why don't you post some of your own dirt for us to read?? I don't know Michele, I feel bad for her and though I find her mildly amusing to watch, She is very beautiful, Obviously looking for her place in life still. I wish her luck and hope she can realize her true self and knock off the silly game she is playing.

She is all about fame. She cheated on her husband and only wants to get to hollywood. She can claim to be family oriented all she wants, but anyone who actually knows her would tell you otherwise.

Michelle Cartwright Money. Here is her DIRT: ambition is ACTRESS. Was married to Ryan Money. Cheated on him. Had adulterous relationship with Jazz player Boozer. Tried to extort $16,000 to pay credit card bill or threatened to tell his wife (now ex wife). Her claims to be family oriented are shallow at best. What she is oriented toward is a career in fame or infamy.
