There must be something sour behind Jennifer Freeman’s saccharine–sweet makeup. KING interrogates the goody-two-shoes
in search of boot-knocking trysts.
Jennifer Freeman isn’t ready to own up to her gangsta pedigree. But shining the light on truth (and providing rhythmic Boggle lessons) is what KING excels at. Let the record show that Freeman’s television pops was Homey D. Clown, a thug in his own right. Even more, the sweet doll is a product of Snoop Dogg’s stomping grounds, Long Beach, California (LBC).
“I think through songs people get the wrong idea of how Long Beach is,” says Freeman—former co-star of ABC’s My Wife and Kids and heartbreaker in the street dance film You Got Served. “It’s a really nice town, small community, everyone knows everyone.”
Fine. Let’s try another approach. Teenagers are known to rebel more than a Jedi council. Surely Freeman pulled from real-life tantrums when playing her bratty character Claire, who was known to sneak out when Daddy Wayans was snoozing.
“My character [on the show] was that normal teenage cheerleader,” she explains. “I’ve always been more of a . . . not a dork, but I’m just more laidback than she is.”
We’ll see just how long Freeman can keep up her angelic M.O. if she fulfills her dream of becoming a cop and receives her first pair of handcuffs. The actress is already contemplating what she would do if she had to issue a summons to a prominent R&B star. Yeah!
KING: You’re at that dating crossroads where you can go out with someone Bow Wow’s age or an older G like a Young Jeezy. Do you prefer robbing the cradle or getting your cradle jacked?
jennifer freeman: I wouldn’t say I have an age preference. It all depends on the person and how they approach me. I don’t like pick-up lines. I’d rather someone just say, “Hello, how are you?”
What about the other dudes—the ones who sex you over the phone and hit you with a booty call. Tell me about one of those experiences.
They have tried but they were not successful. Guys are funny and will say a lot of things. But if you call me past 10 o’clock, I will not be answering the phone.
Is that Eastern or Pacific?
My time! Wherever I’m at. If you want to call me for lunch or something, we can do that, but 3 a.m. is kinda late. We might have dinner at 7. People don’t eat dinner at midnight.
Unless of course it’s that thing Yayo was talking about.
