"  Model Chantel Jeffries, passenger in Justin Bieber&amp;#039;s sharp yellow Lamborghini on the night of his DUI arrest, just gave an on-camera interview to E! News\u00A0last night. She didn&amp;#039;t discuss anything about the drag race-filled night, however, &amp;quot;for legal reasons.&amp;quot; Though she described herself as Justin&amp;#039;s friend (and nothing more), Chantel didn&amp;#039;t tell him she&amp;#039;d be &amp;quot;telling her side of the story&amp;quot; on TV, which seems like a party foul. She explained her decision as a way of dissipating media attention, which she said has\u00A0hurt her family. She just wants to move on, OK? E!&amp;#039;s stalwart Giuliana Rancic was not necessarily convinced by her answers&amp;#039; authenticity, but it was an entertaining little chat. Chantel described rumors of Bieber&amp;#039;s enablers, drug problems, and general diva behavior as &amp;quot;misconceptions,&amp;quot; saying that he&amp;#039;s &amp;quot;fun, cool, a good person.&amp;quot; Also a total gentleman, because he helped her onto her jet ski and stuff when they vacationed in Panama together post-arrest. With that said, she&amp;#039;s much more of a homebody: &amp;quot;If I have a choice, I&amp;#039;m in my house with my cat... doing homework.&amp;quot; Because seriously, being dragged on beachy vacations by celebrities is just the worst. Chantel refuted all rumors of a criminal history, and described herself as &amp;quot;a strong, independent woman [who] doesn&amp;#039;t need to worry about a guy, ever.&amp;quot; Her best soundbite came when asked to comment on tabloid magazines&amp;#039; characterization of her as a &amp;quot;gold digger.&amp;quot; No no, she said, &amp;quot;if anything I&amp;#039;m a GOAL digger, because I have my own goals and I&amp;#039;m focused on those.&amp;quot;\u00A0 In that vein,\u00A0E! noted that they didn&amp;#039;t pay Chantel for the interview, but did allow her to plug her line of eyebrow grooming products.\u00A0 Follow Alex on Twitter.
