Date My Ex: The Skinny on Myia

 

Myia the Music Publisher (allegedly)

Found on a PR website:
Featured on the show are Jo's roommate, Katy Metz and her best friend, Myia Ingoldsby, both of whom advise De La Rosa as she embarks on a series of dates that they have arranged. For Myia Ingoldsby, a music publisher, the spotlight of a reality series might seem an unexpected career diversion, but it was through music business channels that Ingoldsby, from London, met De La Rosa, an aspiring recording artist. It was a logical progression for Ingoldsby to select suitors as well as songs for her friend.

A reality series, Ingoldsby says, "…takes over your life. We did six weeks of filming -- seven days a week -- and we didn't have a day off. It was 14 hour days, every day." And the storyline was volatile. "The script is constantly changing. It's tough. It's all unexpected." (All of the men De La Rosa dates subsequently live in a house with her ex, Slade Smiley."

Ingoldsby is represented by well known Los Angeles entertainment attorney Helen Yu, of Yu Leseberg who observes that navigating the competition-driven reality television series universe requires a comprehensive knowledge of a new set of entertainment dynamics. "It's MySpace taken to the next level: today's stars are real people living real lives as experienced by real audiences."
Her role in the show , Ingoldsby notes, is to offer "The voice of reason. I'm a mediator between Jo and Slade and I'm a very honest person. I give Jo advice as a girlfriend and I know her very well. I also say what the audience is thinking."

Say what the audience is thinking....if you only knew, Myia.
