Hailey Glassman’s exclusive interview with Giuliana Rancic aired last night on E! News. Although, I think all of us were hoping to find something wrong with her and want to rip her to shreds, the 22 year old was actually quite normal and sweet.
When asked about her dirty past she shrugged it off like it was ancient history that she has moved on and grown up. She also seemed to genuinely care for Jon Gosselin and wanting the best for him.
She admits that she is not in love with Jon for the fame, it just sorta happened. And unlike the media is portraying it, their romance started a year ago when Jon and Kate were already separated, so technically she is not a homewrecker.
Watch Hailey’s interview below and tell us what you think of her.

On why she’s speaking out: Because there’s so many lies and like ridiculous stories circulating. I love Jon, I’m not some fame whore. This has been like, a nightmare.
On how she got together with Jon: I started talking to him in May. He was just, like, living in my house, the person I joked around with. He was sad and bored and I was home and bored.
On realizing she was falling for him: After spending a lot of time with him. He’s just a great guy, he really is…
On their relationship: It’s very carefree, fun. We just laugh. He’s honestly like a 32 year-old guy version of me. For real. I really do, I love Jon. I’ve never been in love before Jon.
On her trip to France with Jon to visit Christian Audiger: I was hesitant to go to France, because I said “I don’t want my picture taken….” We get there and to this day he apologizes.
On people saying she’s a homewrecker: One part of me says “Obviously I’m not, it’s ridiculous.” The other part of me says “From what the public sees, because TLC didn’t allow them to come out and say their marriage was done a year ago.”
On when Jon and Kate split: He did call my mom around December or January and said that, pretty much he was left.
On Kate: I don’t know Kate, but their kids are really good kids. I think she’s a great mother, but she’s definitely going for the sympathy card.
On her arrest for drug possession: It was 2005, and it was for possession of marijuana. And I do not have a criminal record. I took a pretrial diversion and I went to a class and it was expunged.
On her partying pictures: There are so many lies and just ridiculous stories circulating. How they’re portraying me is not me at all.
On the photos of her putting a gun to her friend’s head: We had tequila night at my apartment. My roommate had like a little BB gun. My friend like took it up and I wasn’t holding it to her head I was like posing with it…
People are profiteering off selling pictures of me from college when I was 18 years old. They don’t fact check…
The people I know who had those pictures. I was just like ‘why would you sell that?’ My good friends didn’t sell anything and I know my good friends didn’t have those pictures. People pull up all these pictures of me. Do I regret it? No. Everything happens for a reason. I lived and I learned.
On rumors that she’s gay: Am I a lesbian, am I bisexual? No. I love Jon. I love my friends, but not in that way.
On smoking weed: The only thing that is true, did I smoke weed when I was 18 in college? Yeah. Sue me. I don’t smoke weed anymore. FYI. I would watch a movie, smoke and get some munchies. I didn’t smoke alone.
