Daisy De La Hoya, one of the most unforgettable faces from 2000s reality TV, is opening up about a dark chapter and the famous friend who helped pull her out of it. The Rock of Love season 2 star and Daisy of Love lead told TMZ that Corey Feldman, her best friend for more than 18 years, picked her up in Las Vegas, took in her dog, and helped her get into recovery in California. She’s been clean since February 29, 2024.
The story behind that milestone is brutal. De La Hoya says she lost her relationship and her apartment, spent time homeless in shelters, and was assaulted. She now takes medication for anxiety and bipolar disorder. In an August interview with the Daily Mail, she said she’s still unhoused and struggling to find work, and she claims she receives no residuals from the reality shows she appeared on.
Her own words hit hardest:“I’m poor and homeless, that’s the truth.”She also made it clear who had her back, calling Feldman“my best friend for over 18 years”and saying“he saved my life.”The story raises a bigger question about what happens to reality stars once the cameras stop rolling. What do you think, should networks pay residuals to the people who made those shows hits?
