Final Fu
Lauren was a competitor on the martial arts reality TV show Final Fu in the second week. Following her first fight (a loss) and a poor showing in the first challenge, she went on a tirade against the other competitors, calling them Tae Kwon Dorks and saying she was above everybody there. She then walked out on the competition This disrespectful behavior was not echoed, however, by fellow USA TKD fighter Sanaz Shazabi who also didn't make the final week.
