Sean Duffy may have some explaining to do . The 53-year-old former reality star may have just been nominated to serve in Donald Trump's cabinet, but for those who tuned in to MTV in the late '90s, he's better remembered as The Real World: Boston's resident party animal. Long before his days as a congressman and Fox News commentator, Sean was a 25-year-old law student with a taste for the wild party scene, toe-curling pick-up lines, and a literal lust for life (and women) that became a defining feature of his on-screen façade .
During Sean's time on the show, he kept fans entertained with flirty conversations, feral nights out, and some true eyebrow-raising antics. On his MTV show, The Real World: Boston, he was the stereotypical "jock-type guy" who, according to his co-stars, "liked to party". From sticking it on roommates to skipping mentorship responsibilities for romantic flings, it's fair to say Sean's time on the show was anything but disciplined.
One of his most notorious storylines was centered around his "obsession" with Genesis Moss, who was his roommate who identified as a lesbian. Despite her clear disinterest, Sean continued to relentlessly pursue her, dropping awkward advances and using cringe-worthy pick-up lines such as "Feel my noodle." It wasn't Genesis who fell victim to Sean's ways as the player also turned his attention to another female castmate, going as far as to attempt to coax her into performing raunchy acts on camera.
His on-screen behavior wasn't limited to just flirting with roommates either, as in one episode, he skipped a scheduled meeting with at-risk children he was mentoring to hook up with a "local girl". Don't Miss: Fox News calls out Trump's plan to 'deport grandma' and says 'people didn't vote for this' Melania and Donald Trump's 'worst clashes will be about freedom' but they share one thing Fox News' Jesse Walters not invited to his mom's Thanksgiving meal - fans aren't surprised Sean's racy endeavors didn't tend there. During a crossover with Road Rules, Sean had a steamy encounter with cast member Erika Ruen.
As one of his Real World housemates brazenly described it: "They went to town. They went in the bathroom. Had her up against the wall.
You know what I'm sayin'." Sean also caused controversy outside of his wild bedroom antics. He was fired from his mentoring job after drinking alcohol in front of the children and bailing on them for a ski trip.
His behavior toward some of his housemates was equally as questionable, including a heated rift where he called his roommate a "b----." Now we look at Sean today, and it appears that he has got everything out of his system as he finds himself on the brink of becoming the next Secretary of Transportation, thanks to another reality TV veteran, Donald. Like his potential future boss, who shot to fame on The Apprentice, Sean's route to stardom began not in politics but in the glare of reality TV.
Reflecting on his Real World days in a 2019 YouTube interview, he admitted: "You look back now, you look at the things you say and did [on the show], it's embarrassing.".
