"Ali Larter has said that she thinks the reality TV depiction of New Jersey is &amp;quot;terrible&amp;quot;. The former Heroes actress, who is originally from the region, said that she does not recognise the representation of the Garden State that is shown in Jersey Shore and The Real Housewives of New Jersey. Larter told E!: &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;ve seen a couple of them and I feel like it&amp;#039;s such a terrible depiction of our lovely Garden State.&amp;quot; She added that the characters portrayed in the shows do not reflect her experiences growing up in the area. &amp;quot;Yeah for sure, there&amp;#039;s definitely some guidos in New Jersey, but where I grew up it&amp;#039;s like the cranberry bogs, the forests, and the farm... going apple picking and rolling green hills,&amp;quot; she explained. &amp;quot;I adored growing up in New Jersey, so for me, I just think it&amp;#039;s so beautiful and amazing.&amp;quot; "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
