Will Gill from the MTV Real World Hollywood season told the Detroit Free Press he didn’t take offense when fellow cast member Kim Alexander stated to him that she was “kind of shocked that somebody so cute and nice can come from there.”
Rather than taking quick offence and getting ruffled by perceived ignorance or throwing the race card out early on, Will had the perspective enough to laugh it off by understanding drinking and nervousness prompted such a blunt statement by Kim.
Will’s stable personality along with his good looks provides a general feeling from the paper that he will be a positive representative of Detroit and break away from the stereotypes of a city often associated with crime and urban deterioration.
William states he grew up near 8 Mile in Detroit, made famous by Eminem’s movie of the same title, and was already in the process of moving to Los Angeles before being cast onto The Real World.
Gilbert closes by saying “In no way am I looking for this to boost my music career. I like to get everything on my own. I don’t like anything handed to me.”
Time will tell if The Real World in facts boosts or works toward the negative by sounding a sour note to the evolution of his career in music.

He will just have to be a bigger man than what the racist said ignorance will always be with us. Stand your ground and make it none that its not accepted…And drinking doesn’t justify it…but you know who care he’s too damn pretty for it to matter!
You are one stupid “whiteboy”, you sit and talk to that white racist pig like she is God’s gift. I agree with the other comments that you received. Stand your mutherfucking ground and realize who you are. Dumb ass.
In 2006 around the time of the Superbowl in Detroit, local media and the Web were buzzing with news of The Real World Detroit. There were rumors of MTV crew on Main St., Viacom leasing large loft space in Royal Oak, and the cast getting Super Bowl jobs. Then suddenly, nothing. The show obviously never materialized. Was this a hoax?
I would say it was just rumors. Production may have looked at it briefly but decided against it.
