Kamie Crawford is the new, permanent co-host of MTV’s popular series “Catfish.” And her first day as the official co-host …well, let’s just say things got SUPER heated. More inside…
From the pageant world to television! Kamie Crawford just inked a new gig!
If you're a fan of the MTV show "Catfish" then you know co-host Max Joseph dipped out on his homie/co-host Nev Schulman after seven seasons to further his filmmaking career. Since then, the show has featured guest co-hosts - one of them being former Miss USA Teen USA Kamie Crawford.
Fans, producers and execs apparently loved her vibe on the show, so she's now the new "Catfish" co-host!
HONORED TO BE THE NEW CO-HOST OF @CatfishMTV!!!! NO ONE will ever replace @maxjoseph, but I feel so blessed and excited to be @NevSchulman’s new sidekick!!!
SEASON 8 PREMIERE’S TONIGHT AT 8/7c!!! Your support & love means everything to me. THANK YOU!!!! pic.twitter.com/OeW6rdO64D

It wasn't an easy road for Kamie - who was the first woman from Maryland to win Miss Teen USA - to land the gig. Chick worked hard for the spot, guest hosting on the show in 2018 & 2019. All of her hard work paid off because she's now co-hosting on one of her all-time favorite TV shows. She shared her journey on Instagram about how she made her life changing move to LA and leveled up! When she was first approached about the guest co-hosting gig, she thought she was being "catfished" herself. Ha!
"I got an email from @kroesnews asking me if I’d be interested in guest cohosting an episode of one of my all time favorite shows. TBH - I thought I was being Catfished my damn self, but I went along with it because YOLO," she wrote on Instagram.
"Fast forward to me being asked to come back again and again and again & I felt like my life was made. All of the support I got from fans of the show made me feel absolutely amazing, but I was just happy to be there for as long as they would have me. Fast forward again to July 2019 when I got the call from my buddy @nevschulman asking me if I was down to make it official as his new co-host & me crying tears of joy in the middle of Miami airport," she said.
Aww!
The 27-year-old ended her caption with these inspirational hashtags: JesusIsReal #ManifestEverything.

Congrats, Kamie!

So, the first episode of Season 8 premiered Wednesday night and y'all! The catfish on this episode was on a milli. Chick had the worst attitude ever and even resulted in calling Kamie a "b*tch"... several times.
So here's what happened... **SPOILER ALERT**
Imagine thinking you're talking to Tamar Braxton and your girlfriend, so you get on a plane down the coast to meet them, only to ... get flaked on. What a concept. #Catfish pic.twitter.com/r1AHVZzZP8

A woman named Red thought she had been chatting with a woman named "Jalissa" - who made claims that she was Tamar Braxton's hair stylist - for six years, but never video chatted. They would speak on the phone, but every time Red asked "Jalissa" to video chat, she would come up with some excuse. Red said was introduced to "Jalissa" after getting in contact with famed hairstylist/reality star Shekinah Jo on Facebook. Red also believed she was a group chat with "Jalissa," Tamar Braxton and Shekinah Jo. Chile...
"Jalissa" told Red she was in LA doing hair, so Red copped a plane ticket to go see her. When she gets there, "Jalissa" stops responding. Oh, and this wasn't the first time "Jalissa" flaked on Red over the six years they had been communicating.
Once Nev and Kamie get to LA to meet Red, they reached out to "Jalissa" to try and meet up. "Jalissa" said she had already left LA and was back in Texas, so Nev offered to fly her "back" to LA. That's when "Jalissa" revealed her real name as Ashley Taylor in order to get the flight booked. Bloop!
"Jalissa" aka Ashley - who said it was her first time even being in LA - pulled up on Red, Nev & Kamie in a park and soon as she stepped out of the car, Red was visibly devastated. Ashley looked NOTHING like the picture she was using to Catfish. Well, obvi. Once she walked up to them she was extremely rude and nasty and things got ugly.
Watch their heated exchange below:
Kamie did an exceptional job keeping her composure because Ashely was really doing the MOST.
During their second meeting, Ashley even admitted to having up to 3,000 different profiles due to the fact that she has been dealing with a lot of issues with a sick mother and not having real-life friends. Hmph. The 24-year-old catfish said she has been using fake profiles since the age of 12.
Of course, Twitter reacted the foolishness and defended Kamie in the process:
How tf shorty mad, but you the one lying! And thennnn wanna call Kamie a bitch for telling the truth #Catfish pic.twitter.com/NevPyyuEMk

Kamie deserves an award for how calm she stayed #Catfish

Needless to say, Red blocked Ashley (in fact, she did it at the table during their 2nd meeting) and has moved on. Ashley told Nev and Kamie she's still out here catfishing, so be careful y'all!
In case you missed, YBF founder Natasha Eubanks chopped it up with Kamie on TheYBF Podcast where they dished on sex as a curvy girl, dating, IG Frauds (ha!) and more. Take a listen below:
The next episode of "Catfish" airs next Wednesday at 8/7c on MTV!
