REGRETS:


I have no regrets. You can't have any regrets! Although, I would like to say to people, please be careful what you read. Don't believe everything you hear. Do what you love and go after your dreams. My message to women is to take control, have your power and don't victimize yourself. But never regret anything. Don't do anything you're ever going to regret.


ON HER PLANS FOR THE FUTURE AND A TALK SHOW?


When I grow up I want to empower women. I want to share my experiences and I want me book to come out and I want to speak publicly about that and I want a talk show! I want to be the next Oprah! I'm excited for the future. I'm working on my book, my art and my clothing line. I start working with Christian Audigier on a bikini line tomorrow. I know the future has a lot of great things for me and I have a lot to offer.


ON HER SEX ADDICTION:


I have to be honest. I didn't really know why I was going to rehab when I first interviewed with the VH1 producers. I have since learned a lot. I learned that I have a love addiction and a sex addiction. A lot of people are going to learn from the show. It will help a lot of people because it's something that's not really talked about. People aren't aware of sex addiction. I know I wasn't aware of it. I think a lot more people struggle with it then we know about. People think sex addiction means that you're out having sex every night with all these crazy people! It's not about that. Sex addiction is like a drug addiction. It can vary. When I was in sex rehab, people were in there for Internet porn and compulsive masturbation. Everyone is different. For me it's a feeling thing. What do you mean? I wasn't aware what intimacy was and what it means. I just didn't know what a healthy relationship was. That creates my sex addiction.


ON HER MOM:


Of course my mom wants me to come home. She misses me! But that was an interview from an interview that she did and people took what she said out of context. She was really upset by it. She called me crying. She said, “I didn't say it like that!” I said, “I know mom. I know you didn't mean it the way it sounded." I went home for six months in 2005 and than came back in 2006.
But, I'm not ready to go home yet. This (LA) is home for me. I really love LA. I just have to go home and visit my mom more often.
Editors Extra: Forget about any tape with Eric Dane and Rebecca Gayheart. We really like Kari Ann. She has had a very hard life and continues to look forward at a wonderful future. All the best Kari !
