Darva Conger's Aftermath
After the show aired, Conger made numerous public comments about how she was offended by Rockwell's forcibly kissing her on stage, that they never consummated their marriage, and how the entire episode went against her set of morals. She posed nude for Playboy magazine in the August 2000 issue. Matt Lauer was publicly critical of Conger being asked to do multiple interviews on the "Today" show, made sarcastic comments about her during the last one, and stated along with Jeffrey Zucker that she would not return to the show in the future (http://www.deseretnews.com/article/780350/Matt-Lauer-is-sick-of-Darva.html?pg=all).
Conger previously served in the U.S. Air Force. At one time, she was stationed at Scott Air Force Base, near St. Louis. She studied nursing at Southern Illinois University at the Edwardsville and Carbondale campuses. She graduated magna cum laude.
She later married physician assistant Jim Arellano in 2003 with whom she had one son, Cassius. They divorced in 2009 and she and her son currently live in Northern California while she works as an anesthetic nurse.
In February 2001, Conger and Rockwell appeared on Larry King Live and sparred over comments each of them had made about the other, but Conger also said that she should not have appeared on the program at all and had been overly harsh in her public statements about Rockwell.
