Macy Gray on ‘Surreal Life’ Feud with Tyler PoseyMacy Gray on ‘Surreal Life’ Feud with Tyler Posey Musician Macy Gray has revealed that she had some tense moments with actor Tyler Posey while filming the MTV reality show “Surreal Life: Villa of Secrets.” In an interview with Us Weekly, Gray admitted that she approached the show differently from some of her castmates, which led to conflicts. She said she didn’t anticipate the emotional conversations and disagreements that occurred on the show. “I didn’t really expect us to express a lot of emotions and talk about our feelings,” Gray said. “I just wasn’t really in that frame of mind when everyone else was, I guess.” Gray and Posey reportedly clashed several times before the show’s premiere. The singer said that Posey’s openness and willingness to discuss deep emotions sometimes made her uncomfortable. “Tyler’s very open, so he’s always willing to go deep and stuff. Sometimes I just don’t feel like it,” Gray explained. She added that it was difficult to navigate being around roommates and getting to know people in a new environment. However, not everyone had a tense experience with Posey. Singer Ally Brooke said that she formed a close friendship with him on the show. Gray did express appreciation for Kim Zolciak, a castmate she already knew as a fan of “Real Housewives of Atlanta.” She described Zolciak as a “real person” and a “super cool” person. Despite her initial differences with Posey, Gray ultimately gained a positive view of the entire experience. “But I kind of fell in love with everybody,” she said. “I liked a lot of things about everybody.” “Surreal Life: Villa of Secrets” returns for its eighth season on MTV on Tuesday, July 23rd.

Speak with We weekly Gray, 56, said she and Posey, 32, clashed several times prior to the show’s premiere.
“I didn’t really expect us to express a lot of emotions and talk about our feelings,” she said Us. “I just wasn’t really in that frame of mind when everyone else was, I guess. A lot of times they would let us get emotional and maybe disagree a little bit. Tyler and I talked about it a few times.”

“I remember wanting to have fun and just bull–t and everyone got heavy,” she explained. “Tyler’s very open, so he’s always willing to go deep and stuff. Sometimes I just don’t feel like it.”

Not everyone had a tense experience with Posey. Singer Ally Brooke told Us that she and he became friends on the show. “I’ve had such unique relationships and I value every relationship that I have with everyone,” she said. “It’s hard to choose.

As for Gray, she was more impressed by Kim Zolciakwho she already knew as a Real Housewives of Atlanta fan. She said the two spent “a little bit of time together.”
“I like Kim. I’m a housewives fan. I don’t think they really portray her as who she is,” she added. “She’s just a real person. She’s a mom and she’s just a really cool person. She’s super cool.”
Even though Gray and Posey didn’t always get along on the show, Gray didn’t hold a grudge about it.
“But I kind of fell in love with everybody,” she said. “I liked a lot of things about everybody.”
