What Really Happened on Bret Michael's Rock of Love? Samantha Weisberg Breaks It Down. - EP 69

This week on the Dammit Danii Podcast, Danii sits down with professor, mythologist, and Rock of Love alum Samantha Weisberg for a conversation that blends academia, magic, and reality TV chaos. They dive into mythology, teaching, and Sammie’s lifelong fascination with ancient stories—how early books like The Witch of the North shaped her imagination, sparked an interest in witchcraft, the Kabbalah, and the deep connections between mythologies across cultures.

Samantha talks about East Coast life, moving to Salem, the power of manifestation, and how studying myth and magic has shaped who she is today. Of course, they go deep into her time on Rock of Love—from the audition process and the intense first day waiting in line watching contestants get cut, to choosing to be herself in front of Bret Michaels instead of playing a character. She opens up about wanting off the show, having most personal belongings taken away, being kept in the house except for dates, and how producers and camera crews prodded, poked, and antagonized situations for drama.

Sammie breaks down the infamous edit that made it look like she was yelling at Lacey, how fights were handled behind the scenes (including Rodeo stepping in), kissing Bret Michaels, and his secret exits from the house. They also talk about life after the show—being photographed in public, feeling constantly on edge, dating post-reality TV, and navigating life once the cameras stopped rolling.

It’s mythology, manifestation, and reality-TV realness all in one episode.
