The Ultimatum: Queer Love filmed more than a year before it finally premiered on Netflix. In the time it took to film the show and for Vanessa to watch it back at home, a lot had changed. And since this was Vanessa’s first foray into reality television, it was a lot for her to take in once she watched the show and received reactions from viewers.

"Reliving a version of an experience you had years prior is a very confusing experience," Vanessa shared with us. "Knowing the entirety of what happened, and having to come to terms with what people will actually get to see was hard. I had never been on reality TV before, so I didn’t fully realize what I was getting myself into."

But since then, Vanessa has been working on her acting career and, she shared with us, "life’s pretty fun right now." Vanessa goes out on auditions and gets in some traveling when she can, but she’s also working on some indie projects as she follows her passion and builds her resume as an actress.
