Montez Ford has revealed that he had a close call when he almost walked into a camera crew naked while shooting his WWE reality TV show.
While speaking on Not Just Football, Montez Ford admitted that at first he was nervous about doing reality TV because it’s one of those unknowns you can’t really predict. He pointed out how you always see those shows and think they’re full of drama, comparing it to something like Jersey Shore.
“At first we was nervous cuz like reality TV is just one of them unknowns you don’t really know about, and it’s just like you always see the shows and be like, oh man, it be so drama based. You were thinking Jersey Shore.”
When asked how long it takes to get used to the cameras being around or if you eventually just forget they’re there, Ford explained that it’s actually a lot to deal with. The crew shows up around 7:00 in the morning to start setting up so filming can begin by 8:00, and they usually don’t wrap until 8:00 or 9:00 at night. They shoot so much content just to have plenty to edit later and grab B-roll, with a lot of it filmed in a very natural, raw style.
Ford revealed a funny story about how once the crew arrived while he was getting ready to take a shower. Since it’s his house, he’s used to just walking around naked.
The door was wide open and he was singing and about to hop in the shower, when suddenly he noticed the crew walking in to set up. Ford said it was a close call that left him thinking how lucky he was they didn’t catch even more than they bargained for.
“You know, I will say it is a lot, cuz there was one time — uh, cuz they get there at like 7:00 in the morning to set up so we can start rolling by 8:00, and then they get finished around like 9:00 or 8:00 in the evening. Yeah. Because they film so much stuff that they can just go back and cut and edit and get B-roll.
A lot of the stuff is like how we shooting now, just natural, raw cut. But yeah, there was one time they got there and I was trying to take a shower. So you know me, I’m used to just walk around — it’s my house — walk around there butt naked, you know. Oh, I had the door wide open and I’m about to hop in, I was singing my song, about to hop in the shower, and I swear like before I closed the door and they was walking in to set up the camera, they looked at me and I said, ‘Oh.’ And I’m like, ‘God dang, man. God damn.’ That was a close call.”
In the end, Montez Ford was clearly relieved the camera crew didn’t catch him naked, showing just how random and unpredictable filming a reality TV show can be from time to time.
