- 0:52Speaker 3: That's okay, That's what I came for. Okay, please come on.
- 0:57Speaker 3: But I'd rather be in one central place than to
- 0:59Speaker 3: try to fight strangers.
- 1:04Speaker 5: Tell Christy, yes, yes, yes, how are you?
- 1:11Speaker 3: All things considered, I'm okay, I'm doing good.
- 1:14Speaker 2: Well. First of all, you're beautiful. You are a gorgeous woman.
- 1:19Speaker 2: You really are.
- 1:21Speaker 4: I do want to start by saying this, thank you
- 1:25Speaker 4: so much for reaching out to me.
- 1:28Speaker 2: It was unexpected. I open up my d M and
- 1:32Speaker 2: I'm like.
- 1:35Speaker 6: You weren't expected it, Christy, and then I was shocked
- 1:44Speaker 6: in a good way.
- 1:45Speaker 4: But what also showed me was look I have created
- 1:49Speaker 4: this safe space for people like you to feel comfortable
- 1:53Speaker 4: have being a conversation when they are going through something
- 1:57Speaker 4: as tumultuous my mental the gravity in which you're going
- 2:03Speaker 4: through things. I created this platform for that. So I
- 2:07Speaker 4: just want to stop by saying thank you for what
- 2:09Speaker 4: you got to me. Yes, I really do appreciate.
- 2:11Speaker 3: That, absolutely. I mean, I feel like I've heard a
- 2:14Speaker 3: lot of different think pieces and opinions on my situation
- 2:18Speaker 3: and what has been showed on TV. And I watched
- 2:22Speaker 3: you and Dustin's Full Thing at what hour and whatever long,
- 2:26Speaker 3: and even though, like I told you, there were things
- 2:28Speaker 3: in there that I may not agree with or that
- 2:30Speaker 3: I would like to defend myself on, it was done
- 2:32Speaker 3: in a very tasteful way, and I didn't feel attacked,
- 2:35Speaker 3: And I felt like, Okay, this is You're a producer,
- 2:39Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying. And so I feel like
- 2:40Speaker 3: explaining to you the events that led up to this scenario,
- 2:45Speaker 3: maybe you can better understand, and even if you don't
- 2:47Speaker 3: agree with the way that I handled it, you can
- 2:49Speaker 3: you can kind of gauge like, Okay, now, I know
- 2:52Speaker 3: now that you mentioned that. But because the viewers don't
- 2:55Speaker 3: get to see all of the ins and outs and
- 2:57Speaker 3: the you know what I'm saying, Like the things that
- 2:59Speaker 3: are cut, the things that never see the life of day.
- 3:01Speaker 3: It's very hard to understand, like why would you talk
- 3:04Speaker 3: to her like that? Why would you do that? Why
- 3:05Speaker 3: would you so? Like I said, even if if you
- 3:08Speaker 3: walk away from here today feeling like bro, you still
- 3:10Speaker 3: shouldn't have did that. I'm okay with that, Like I
- 3:13Speaker 3: understand that, But I do want it to be somewhere
- 3:16Speaker 3: on wax my side of the story. If I never
- 3:19Speaker 3: do anything else in entertainment, if I never go back
- 3:21Speaker 3: to basketball lives, whatever happens, I want to know that
- 3:24Speaker 3: there's that it lives in history somewhere my side of things.
- 3:28Speaker 2: You know, I received that.
- 3:30Speaker 4: I received that, and I seriously just cannot thank you
- 3:35Speaker 4: enough for sitting down because I know everybody wants to
- 3:40Speaker 4: talk to you.
- 3:41Speaker 2: I'm assuming a lot of people reach out to you.
- 3:43Speaker 3: A lot TMC, Shape Room, any new site that you
- 3:47Speaker 3: can think of, reached out and the majority of them
- 3:50Speaker 3: they wanted me to be in LA They wanted me
- 3:52Speaker 3: to come out there, and I told them, you know,
- 3:54Speaker 3: that's not where I'm based anymore. Like when this show
- 3:56Speaker 3: was done, filming, I moved away, and I was like,
- 3:58Speaker 3: I wash my hands of it. You know. So when
- 4:01Speaker 3: I reached out to you and you said, listen, if
- 4:02Speaker 3: I can, if I can situate this, I can be there.
- 4:06Speaker 3: And I was like, now see that's journalism to me,
- 4:08Speaker 3: Like you know what I'm saying, that's like, oh, okay,
- 4:10Speaker 3: he's serious about the story. And it didn't give like
- 4:14Speaker 3: I'm trying to be messy. It's just more so I
- 4:16Speaker 3: want to get to the bottom of things, like what's tea?
- 4:18Speaker 2: Yeah?
- 4:21Speaker 3: That was funny.
- 4:21Speaker 2: And so I'm like, where you live.
- 4:25Speaker 3: I'm like, I so call my.
- 4:27Speaker 2: Producer here like talking.
- 4:29Speaker 4: And I said to myself, God is in this conversation.
- 4:36Speaker 2: And I do want you to know that because for me,
- 4:41Speaker 2: I did not seek you out.
- 4:42Speaker 3: Yes, and.
- 4:46Speaker 2: I flew in town.
- 4:47Speaker 4: I flew my producer and I said, in order for
- 4:50Speaker 4: me to have a conversation with her, I need to
- 4:53Speaker 4: feel her. I need to be able to like look
- 4:55Speaker 4: her face and face eye and the eye and I
- 4:58Speaker 4: needed to, like I all of my guests, I want
- 5:01Speaker 4: to feel the energy from you. What I will say
- 5:04Speaker 4: before I get started with the questioning, you are very
- 5:09Speaker 4: likable right now? You are.
- 5:16Speaker 3: You got introduced to the world.
- 5:19Speaker 4: You're very likable, your spirit. I didn't know what I
- 5:24Speaker 4: was going to get coming into this. I didn't know
- 5:26Speaker 4: if you were rightfully so in a different space. But
- 5:29Speaker 4: what I want, what I want the rain drops to
- 5:31Speaker 4: know right now, this is real. Y'all know a lot
- 5:33Speaker 4: of y'all.
- 5:34Speaker 2: Your energy is infectious, You're in a great mood.
- 5:38Speaker 4: You are you, You're beautiful camera, You're stunning in person.
- 5:44Speaker 4: You do have a light, you do you have something
- 5:49Speaker 4: and obviously you have been a meme for the past
- 5:54Speaker 4: couple of days. So before we get started, I do
- 5:56Speaker 4: want to ask you, with all things considered mentally, mentally,
- 6:00Speaker 4: how are you doing.
- 6:02Speaker 3: I think I'm doing a lot better now than I
- 6:05Speaker 3: was when this first dropped. And when this first happened,
- 6:08Speaker 3: I think I was in a really dark space. And
- 6:10Speaker 3: even though I knew that it was coming, because obviously
- 6:12Speaker 3: I was there in Hawaii when it happened, and I
- 6:14Speaker 3: didn't know how much they would show, but I was
- 6:16Speaker 3: kind of bracing myself through the Green Screez and the
- 6:19Speaker 3: interviews that I did. I answered questions that let me know, like,
- 6:23Speaker 3: all right, this is gonna see the light of day,
- 6:25Speaker 3: you know, what I'm saying, this is not a fight
- 6:26Speaker 3: or whatever that they're gonna scrap. And so even though
- 6:29Speaker 3: I tried to prepare myself, it's just different when when
- 6:33Speaker 3: you're in it and you have millions of people just
- 6:36Speaker 3: saying the wildest stuff. I mean, they've wished death on me.
- 6:40Speaker 3: They tell me when they see me, they gonna curb
- 6:42Speaker 3: stomp me on Jackie's behalf. And I'm like, you want
- 6:44Speaker 3: to go to jail for Jackie? Like I'm trying to understand,
- 6:48Speaker 3: Like I get how crazy this looks, right, Like it's terrible.
- 6:55Speaker 3: It is terrible.
- 6:55Speaker 2: I don't.
- 6:56Speaker 3: I don't. I'm not negating that fact. But you guys
- 6:59Speaker 3: are judging me based on how I'm handling someone that
- 7:03Speaker 3: i've that has been in my life for thirty two years, right,
- 7:06Speaker 3: and you guys are seeing thirty two minutes of an episode,
- 7:09Speaker 3: and so it's very hard to carry that weight. But
- 7:13Speaker 3: you know, I make the joke to people, I'm like,
- 7:15Speaker 3: I didn't only inherit her neck, I also inherited her
- 7:18Speaker 3: thick skin, not even being funny, but for real, Like
- 7:20Speaker 3: I know that I can take this. You know, I
- 7:23Speaker 3: have a really strong support system. I have a really
- 7:26Speaker 3: strong village around me that is checking in on me consistently.
- 7:30Speaker 3: When I can't pick myself up, They're there to do that,
- 7:33Speaker 3: whether that be my husband, my sister in law, my friends, whatever.
- 7:37Speaker 3: Like I've established a really strong support group. So I'm
- 7:43Speaker 3: just taking it day by day. You know, some days
- 7:45Speaker 3: it's like these people are so ignorant, like I'm not
- 7:48Speaker 3: even gonna pay it any mind or attention. And then
- 7:51Speaker 3: other days it's like I want to argue with every
- 7:53Speaker 3: single person, and I want to prove myself and I
- 7:55Speaker 3: want to explain myself, and I know that I can't,
- 7:59Speaker 3: like I can't respond to each and every one of
- 8:01Speaker 3: these individuals. So this felt like the safest space to
- 8:05Speaker 3: do that and then just kind of wash my hands
- 8:07Speaker 3: of it, you know, Like what I say here today,
- 8:09Speaker 3: this is my final statement, Like I'm not going back
- 8:11Speaker 3: and forth with anybody because I know that this is
- 8:13Speaker 3: my truth. I know what my intentions are and what
- 8:15Speaker 3: they've always been, and I'm not going to let outsiders
- 8:19Speaker 3: create this narrative that really isn't me. Like if you
- 8:22Speaker 3: know me and you're just meeting me, you know what
- 8:24Speaker 3: I'm saying, Like you've been around me all of ten minutes.
- 8:26Speaker 3: There are people that have known me my whole life
- 8:28Speaker 3: and know, like, this is not who you are. That
- 8:30Speaker 3: was a really bad moment in your life, and it's
- 8:32Speaker 3: publicized for everybody to see, but this is not who
- 8:35Speaker 3: you are. So you can't wear that for the rest
- 8:37Speaker 3: of your life. Yeah, you know what I mean.
- 8:39Speaker 4: You can't and I don't want that for you at all,
- 8:43Speaker 4: and I'm happy that.
- 8:44Speaker 2: Look, after this conversation, I agree with you.
- 8:47Speaker 4: They have this to watch until the end of time
- 8:50Speaker 4: before obviously your next ventures, and we'll get to that too,
- 8:53Speaker 4: But I want to start from the beginning. Okay, let's
- 8:58Speaker 4: who was Chantel Christy as a little girl with the
- 9:04Speaker 4: parents of Doug and Jackie, Like what was her childhood?
- 9:07Speaker 3: Like everybody used to call me the poor little rich
- 9:10Speaker 3: girl because even though like my parents had money, people
- 9:14Speaker 3: think that I was born with a silver spoon in
- 9:16Speaker 3: my mouth, right, and of course, like you have those
- 9:19Speaker 3: material things, but I was the kid that wanted to
- 9:22Speaker 3: work for it, Like I was making the family newspapers,
- 9:24Speaker 3: I was trying to do hair, like all of the
- 9:26Speaker 3: little hustles. That is something that I get from my mom,
- 9:29Speaker 3: you know, Like I'm a hustler. At heart. So this
- 9:34Speaker 3: idea that I grew up just very privileged and like
- 9:37Speaker 3: spoiled and braddy, it couldn't be the furthest thing from
- 9:39Speaker 3: the truth. I mean, I think that having my grandmother
- 9:43Speaker 3: in the house for all of my life, literally like
- 9:47Speaker 3: she passed away when I was eighteen, So for eighteen years,
- 9:50Speaker 3: I have this incredible woman that is around, dropping all
- 9:54Speaker 3: these gems and kind of just raising me in the
- 9:56Speaker 3: ways that my mom Couldn't you get what I'm saying.
- 10:00Speaker 3: This is Jackie's mom. She's been on the show before,
- 10:05Speaker 3: I think in the first season her her journey with
- 10:08Speaker 3: cancer and stuff like that was kind of chronicled a
- 10:10Speaker 3: little bit. And so yeah, I mean, I just even
- 10:16Speaker 3: though I didn't have maybe like a conventional or like
- 10:19Speaker 3: a typical upbringing, because we moved around so much. Every
- 10:23Speaker 3: time my dad got traded, we're moving, we're you know,
- 10:25Speaker 3: we were never stationary like I am with my kids now,
- 10:28Speaker 3: you know. And so I just I experienced a lot
- 10:32Speaker 3: over time, just living in Canada, living in Texas, living
- 10:35Speaker 3: in California, Like, I've had so many different experiences over
- 10:39Speaker 3: my life that I just have a I'm just I'm
- 10:44Speaker 3: just a different person. You know, then, I guess you
- 10:46Speaker 3: would you would typically meet because I've had so many
- 10:49Speaker 3: experiences and I've lived so many places, and I've met
- 10:51Speaker 3: so many people, Like I think in that way, I'm
- 10:55Speaker 3: I'm a little more well rounded than maybe I present myself,
- 10:57Speaker 3: you know, like when I get upset, obviously I have
- 10:59Speaker 3: a heart time talking and expressing myself. But yeah, I
- 11:04Speaker 3: just that little girl. She still lives in me, you know,
- 11:07Speaker 3: but I think I have just kind of buried her
- 11:12Speaker 3: away a little bit.
- 11:14Speaker 4: When you were a little girl growing up, your grandmother
- 11:19Speaker 4: obviously lives there. You were saying that you know she
- 11:22Speaker 4: pretty much was not to be worse your mom, but
- 11:25Speaker 4: I'm assuming the mother figure you were looking for.
- 11:28Speaker 2: You did sit on camera that Jackie was obviously.
- 11:34Speaker 4: Chasing Doug, but obviously there was there there with her
- 11:37Speaker 4: husband as he is. Being a basketball player. We all
- 11:43Speaker 4: know Jackie Christie was at every game. Did you feel
- 11:48Speaker 4: like your mother abandoned you and your siblings for her husband.
- 11:57Speaker 3: For a long time, I did feel that way, and
- 11:59Speaker 3: I think that now that I'm a mother and a
- 12:02Speaker 3: wife myself, and I'm married to someone that is actually
- 12:05Speaker 3: in that same profession, I can understand her thought process
- 12:12Speaker 3: or where she was coming from. Like, listen, it's all
- 12:14Speaker 3: these groupies out here. I want to be next to
- 12:16Speaker 3: my man, right. But what I realize now as a
- 12:19Speaker 3: mother myself, is that that's a choice. You can choose
- 12:22Speaker 3: to go and be with your man, or you can
- 12:24Speaker 3: choose to be with your children. And you made your choice,
- 12:27Speaker 3: and that's okay. Like it is what it is, and
- 12:29Speaker 3: I can't go back and change it. You can't go
- 12:31Speaker 3: back and change it. But you also can't tell me
- 12:33Speaker 3: that that wasn't my experience when I had these basketball games,
- 12:37Speaker 3: when I had these school events, when I had the
- 12:40Speaker 3: parent teacher conferences, when I got my first menstrual cycle,
- 12:43Speaker 3: like this, my grandmother was who was there for those experiences.
- 12:47Speaker 3: So that doesn't take away the fact that you gave
- 12:50Speaker 3: birth to me, or that you know, we do have
- 12:53Speaker 3: memories throughout my life, Like I'm not taking that away
- 12:56Speaker 3: from her at all. But to try to rewrite history
- 12:59Speaker 3: in an effort to discredit me, that's where we differ.
- 13:06Speaker 4: There's been conversations about there seems to be so.
- 13:10Speaker 2: Much blame.
- 13:12Speaker 4: With your mom and there's none with your dad, and
- 13:16Speaker 4: the two of them both made the decision that have you.
- 13:20Speaker 4: They feel like Jackie gets all the smoke. They recognize
- 13:24Speaker 4: that your mom may not have been a perfect parent,
- 13:27Speaker 4: but they do feel like a lot of the smoke
- 13:28Speaker 4: your mother gets and your father doesn't.
- 13:30Speaker 2: Why is that?
- 13:33Speaker 3: Because these are my experiences. I mean, you can very
- 13:37Speaker 3: well live in the same house and everybody has a
- 13:39Speaker 3: different experience. And I tell a lot of people like
- 13:43Speaker 3: my dad has had the pleasure of experiencing my mom
- 13:46Speaker 3: as a wife, me and my siblings have experienced her
- 13:49Speaker 3: as a mother, and there is a difference there. And
- 13:53Speaker 3: if you don't acknowledge that or you don't understand that,
- 13:56Speaker 3: I love that for you. But as for me, it
- 14:00Speaker 3: was different. Like I'm watching you put on this like perfect, Okay,
- 14:06Speaker 3: Dad is on the way home, Like let me make
- 14:07Speaker 3: sure everything's good and perfect, like I've seen it in
- 14:11Speaker 3: real time. You get what I'm saying. And so now,
- 14:14Speaker 3: as I said a mother and a wife myself, especially
- 14:16Speaker 3: to someone that's in the same profession, I understand how
- 14:19Speaker 3: busy their schedules can get. You get up, you go
- 14:21Speaker 3: work out, you got a shooting practice, you gotta meet
- 14:24Speaker 3: with the coach, you got it's a full day's work.
- 14:25Speaker 3: And I get that. So when I hear people say, well,
- 14:29Speaker 3: why doesn't he get any of the blame? Do y'all
- 14:33Speaker 3: think that he was just sitting there and he would
- 14:35Speaker 3: just watch her like verbally abuse me and go on
- 14:37Speaker 3: about his day like that's not the way that it happened.
- 14:40Speaker 3: It didn't. These instances didn't. I'm telling you, she's telling me,
- 14:45Speaker 3: if you don't go clean your room, your dad's gonna
- 14:46Speaker 3: kick you down the stairs. And this is clearly he's
- 14:48Speaker 3: not here, which is why she's saying that. But I
- 14:51Speaker 3: think that the viewers are in some ways choosing to
- 14:54Speaker 3: be wilfully ignorant and say, well, why are you putting
- 14:56Speaker 3: all the blame on her? I'm speaking about my negative
- 14:59Speaker 3: experiences with her. If that's the blame, I mean, if
- 15:02Speaker 3: the show fits, wear it by all means. But I
- 15:06Speaker 3: didn't have the same sort of negative experiences with my
- 15:10Speaker 3: dad that I have with my mom. And I think
- 15:12Speaker 3: that that's a story for a lot of people out here,
- 15:15Speaker 3: that you do have a great relationship with one parent
- 15:18Speaker 3: and they can very well still be married. I think
- 15:20Speaker 3: that my dad has shown over these last three decades
- 15:24Speaker 3: that he will love her through and through. You get
- 15:27Speaker 3: what I'm saying like I'm going to try to love
- 15:29Speaker 3: you out of this. I'm going to try to love
- 15:31Speaker 3: you into being a better person and all of these things.
- 15:33Speaker 3: So I don't want to speak on their marriage. I
- 15:36Speaker 3: think that what I did and said on the show
- 15:38Speaker 3: in regard to their marriage was very tacky and tasteless,
- 15:43Speaker 3: and I think that being a wife myself, like I
- 15:46Speaker 3: don't want nobody to do that to me. So just
- 15:49Speaker 3: because I'm upset, like girl, all right now, like you
- 15:53Speaker 3: know what I'm saying. But in that moment, I just
- 15:55Speaker 3: saw red and I just felt so like you're really
- 15:58Speaker 3: playing in my face and like now I'm just unloading
- 16:02Speaker 3: the clip, like you know what I mean, and saying
- 16:04Speaker 3: things that I typically wouldn't or that I know that
- 16:07Speaker 3: I shouldn't. But here we are. Now we're both rolling
- 16:11Speaker 3: around in a pig pen looking crazy, you know what
- 16:13Speaker 3: I'm saying. So I don't know. I just and I
- 16:16Speaker 3: think the tough times that I have had with my
- 16:19Speaker 3: dad over the years, whether it was as a teenager
- 16:21Speaker 3: or whatever, he's always apologized. He's always at the standard,
- 16:25Speaker 3: he's always taken accountability. If there was something that he
- 16:27Speaker 3: did wrong, he stood on that and he parented me
- 16:32Speaker 3: in a way that I respect you, Like we may
- 16:36Speaker 3: not have always had this perfect relationship, but I respect
- 16:41Speaker 3: the way that you've treated me. And I tell people,
- 16:46Speaker 3: I say, I wasn't raised for as far as my
- 16:50Speaker 3: mom goes, I wasn't raised on respect. I was raised
- 16:54Speaker 3: on fear. And because of that, when I believe that
- 16:58Speaker 3: when you get to a certain age or a certain
- 17:00Speaker 3: point in your life, that fear dissipates and then it's
- 17:03Speaker 3: like I'm looking in your face and I'm telling you
- 17:05Speaker 3: I'm not scared of you. And so that's what I
- 17:08Speaker 3: think that the viewers aren't really understanding. We didn't have
- 17:11Speaker 3: this close locked in mother daughter, Come lay down on
- 17:15Speaker 3: your shoulder, tell you like, we didn't have that my
- 17:17Speaker 3: whole life. We've tried, we've had those moments that you
- 17:21Speaker 3: do see on the show from previous seasons where we're
- 17:23Speaker 3: out and we're shopping and I got my daughter, and
- 17:26Speaker 3: we've tried to have those moments, but we just we
- 17:28Speaker 3: don't have that. And that's okay.
- 17:32Speaker 4: Well listen, I'm gonna go on a limb and say
- 17:36Speaker 4: that's not okay. You know what I mean, It's not
- 17:38Speaker 4: okay because one thing I even said, my recap was
- 17:41Speaker 4: and we'll get to the incident and later. But one
- 17:45Speaker 4: thing I did say was I believe your experience, and
- 17:49Speaker 4: I'm not here. I wasn't there on the zoom to
- 17:51Speaker 4: negate your experience, and in person, I'm not not there
- 17:55Speaker 4: to negate your experience.
- 17:56Speaker 2: I was.
- 17:57Speaker 4: I was blessed as a black person to have both
- 18:01Speaker 4: parents in the household. I was the quintessential mother's boy
- 18:05Speaker 4: before she passed away. And I've been honest with my
- 18:07Speaker 4: brain drops about me and my father were not close
- 18:12Speaker 4: growing up. I was scared of him. He put fear
- 18:17Speaker 4: in me, and a lot of that had to do
- 18:19Speaker 4: with the fact that just how he was raised.
- 18:20Speaker 2: And we'll get through that a second too. So I
- 18:25Speaker 2: disagree with you.
- 18:25Speaker 4: I don't think it's okay, and I think it is
- 18:28Speaker 4: okay though to talk about it. And I do think
- 18:30Speaker 4: it's okay to listen. Just because it's the minority to
- 18:35Speaker 4: say things about your childhood experience that you know to
- 18:40Speaker 4: be true doesn't mean it's not your experience. Yes, the
- 18:44Speaker 4: overwhelming population of the black household that we both grew
- 18:48Speaker 4: up in.
- 18:49Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying.
- 18:50Speaker 4: You don't go against your parents, Yes, but I know
- 18:56Speaker 4: what it's like to adore one parent, and I know
- 18:59Speaker 4: what like as a child to feel like this person
- 19:07Speaker 4: doesn't like me. You love me, but I don't feel
- 19:10Speaker 4: like you like me. You said something earlier that I
- 19:13Speaker 4: want to go back on. You talked about your mother
- 19:16Speaker 4: being verbally abusive. What did that look like for you.
- 19:20Speaker 2: As a child.
- 19:23Speaker 3: I think that I don't know. I think expressing the
- 19:28Speaker 3: things that she said to a lot of people, it
- 19:30Speaker 3: would come off as like that was a typical black household,
- 19:32Speaker 3: Like your mom put fear in your hearts, she talked
- 19:34Speaker 3: down to you. She But for me, that wasn't the
- 19:36Speaker 3: type of parenting that I needed, right. And you, I've
- 19:39Speaker 3: learned through being a mother myself that you have to
- 19:41Speaker 3: kind of meet your kids where they are, and you
- 19:44Speaker 3: have to handle them differently. And so I think that maybe,
- 19:50Speaker 3: and this is where I give her grace, maybe you
- 19:52Speaker 3: didn't know how to be a parent right. Maybe you
- 19:55Speaker 3: didn't understand how to be a mother, how to talk
- 19:57Speaker 3: to your kids, how to problem solved and be kind
- 20:03Speaker 3: and gentle and all of those things. I can give
- 20:05Speaker 3: you grace, but you can't tell me that I didn't
- 20:10Speaker 3: experience what I experienced. Right, And so that's where the
- 20:13Speaker 3: rub comes in, because it's like, you want to rewrite
- 20:15Speaker 3: history and tell me I didn't do that. I gave
- 20:17Speaker 3: you everything. I gave you the best life you did.
- 20:20Speaker 3: You could provide all of the material things. He made
- 20:23Speaker 3: millions of dollars and you could provide all of the things.
- 20:26Speaker 3: That doesn't take away from the fact that I felt
- 20:29Speaker 3: like you was talking to me really crazy, or I
- 20:31Speaker 3: feel like you were emotionally abusive, or that that doesn't
- 20:35Speaker 3: give me the name plenty of times the word absolutely okay,
- 20:39Speaker 3: Like you tell me at twelve years old to my face,
- 20:41Speaker 3: I hate you, verbatim. That is a moment I will
- 20:44Speaker 3: never forget.
- 20:45Speaker 2: Why does she say that.
- 20:47Speaker 3: We were just in the middle of one of our
- 20:49Speaker 3: many heated arguments disputes about whatever it may have been,
- 20:53Speaker 3: and it just got to a point where she was like,
- 20:56Speaker 3: I hate you. And I think that out of all
- 20:58Speaker 3: of her kids, out of all three of us, I'm
- 21:01Speaker 3: the most outspoken. I'm the one that is like pedaled
- 21:06Speaker 3: to the floor, right. I've always been that way. Anybody
- 21:09Speaker 3: that knows me knows that. And that's something that I
- 21:11Speaker 3: need to work on. That's something that I need to
- 21:15Speaker 3: change about myself and improve on. But this didn't come
- 21:19Speaker 3: out of nowhere, and it definitely didn't happen for the
- 21:21Speaker 3: sake of this show. This is who I've been and
- 21:25Speaker 3: the instances that we've had that have been very heated.
- 21:28Speaker 3: It's never gotten physical, but it's gotten right there beneath it,
- 21:33Speaker 3: the words that are being exchanged, the things that are
- 21:35Speaker 3: being said. This is not new. This didn't come out
- 21:38Speaker 3: of nowhere like this is. We've had those really hard
- 21:43Speaker 3: moments where it's like, I cannot believe that you're my mom,
- 21:46Speaker 3: and maybe at times she thought, I can't believe you're
- 21:48Speaker 3: my daughter.
- 21:49Speaker 2: I don't know, would you call her the beware back?
- 21:52Speaker 3: I don't think that I've ever called her the bee
- 21:54Speaker 3: word to her face until we got to Hawaii.
- 21:56Speaker 1: Wow.
- 21:57Speaker 4: Yeah, So at twelve years Olga mother says, I hate
- 22:01Speaker 4: you as you guys were arguing, and as a twelve
- 22:04Speaker 4: year old girl, that chips away at your at your
- 22:10Speaker 4: confidence and the chips away at your ability. And again,
- 22:15Speaker 4: I really the blessing of this conversation is because I
- 22:22Speaker 4: think if people can can can not look at what
- 22:26Speaker 4: happened on Basketball Wives, and I want you guys to
- 22:28Speaker 4: just for a second, remove the altercation of basketball wives.
- 22:33Speaker 4: And what I want people to really focus on right
- 22:35Speaker 4: now is as a kid, and as I'm talking to you,
- 22:40Speaker 4: you know what, it's so fascinating, Chatel. I can relate
- 22:44Speaker 4: to you. I can relate to you. I can relate
- 22:49Speaker 4: to you. And I'm not saying that to blow smoke
- 22:53Speaker 4: up your ass am. I saying that beautful, comfortable. I've
- 22:56Speaker 4: said this before my own podcast. I've had issues with
- 22:59Speaker 4: my dad. We're past that now, but I know what
- 23:03Speaker 4: it's like for a parent to say something to you.
- 23:07Speaker 4: My father said to me I was subven, and he said,
- 23:12Speaker 4: stop acting like a girl.
- 23:15Speaker 2: And again I'm not called out my name, but as
- 23:18Speaker 2: a little.
- 23:18Speaker 4: Boy hearing that, that was the day I said to myself.
- 23:23Speaker 3: Absolutely, you don't like me right there, you don't like me.
- 23:27Speaker 4: And I was suvin and I was thirty five. So
- 23:32Speaker 4: twenty eight years later, I took him aside and spoke
- 23:38Speaker 4: to him about that. So for twenty eight years on it,
- 23:42Speaker 4: I held on to it. I never forgot it, And
- 23:45Speaker 4: for twenty eight years I lived my life thinking my
- 23:49Speaker 4: father doesn't like who I am because I am a
- 23:53Speaker 4: feminine boy. My sexuality has nothing to do with it
- 23:58Speaker 4: is the fact that I mean eminem boy and him
- 24:02Speaker 4: saying stop.
- 24:03Speaker 2: Acting like a girl made me look at him differently.
- 24:08Speaker 4: And I held on to that for twenty eight years
- 24:11Speaker 4: until I said something to him and he said to me,
- 24:14Speaker 4: I'm sorry. I didn't I didn't even realize I said
- 24:16Speaker 4: that to you, and I apologize, And now I made
- 24:18Speaker 4: him a good and refined I'm able to move forward.
- 24:22Speaker 4: And I think for me, as I was watching the
- 24:24Speaker 4: dynamic between and your mom, I knew, listen, I'm gonna
- 24:29Speaker 4: be rip with you. I thought to myself, Okay, how
- 24:35Speaker 4: deep is the pain? How deep is the pain? And
- 24:40Speaker 4: what I'm realizing right now in this moment, it doesn't
- 24:44Speaker 4: have to be the physical pain of being physically abused
- 24:47Speaker 4: sexually abused. It doesn't have to be those those monumental
- 24:52Speaker 4: like like black or white thing where we're like boom.
- 24:56Speaker 4: It can be your mother at that time saying to
- 24:59Speaker 4: you I hate you, yes, and things not ever.
- 25:04Speaker 2: Really being the same. Does that make sense?
- 25:07Speaker 4: No?
- 25:07Speaker 3: Absolutely, And I think that in the back of my mind.
- 25:09Speaker 3: I always held on to that, like even if I
- 25:11Speaker 3: was able to walk away from that conversation, and you know,
- 25:14Speaker 3: we move on and whatever, And here I am twenty
- 25:19Speaker 3: years later, still feeling that way in the back of
- 25:22Speaker 3: my mind, like you still feel some sort of way
- 25:24Speaker 3: towards me, whether that's what for whatever your reasoning is,
- 25:30Speaker 3: you have to hate me, because if you didn't, why
- 25:32Speaker 3: would you treat me like this?
- 25:35Speaker 2: This is reality with the King and I'm Carlos King.
- 25:38Speaker 2: Let's get back into the show.
- 25:41Speaker 4: Obviously, your sister will get down in a second. Your
- 25:45Speaker 4: sister said, baby Chantale was spoiled. My mama looked paraphrase,
- 25:53Speaker 4: of course, but it appeared that or what was said
- 25:57Speaker 4: was you were the apple of Jackie's eye, were the
- 26:00Speaker 4: one who got everything they wanted you. You were the
- 26:03Speaker 4: one that they poured so much into and that you
- 26:07Speaker 4: are a MENI Jackie yourself, is that something that you
- 26:12Speaker 4: can acknowledge that you, out of all your siblings, you
- 26:16Speaker 4: are the one that got the most or it was
- 26:19Speaker 4: boil on.
- 26:20Speaker 3: I won't stay out of all my siblings because me
- 26:21Speaker 3: and my brother have the same mom and dad, right,
- 26:24Speaker 3: and so for my sister, and I'm going to try
- 26:28Speaker 3: to be not careful with my words because my truth
- 26:30Speaker 3: is my truth, right, But I now understand that she
- 26:32Speaker 3: doesn't want me to speak about her and her experiences,
- 26:35Speaker 3: so I can speak on mine. Right. My sister has
- 26:40Speaker 3: a different father and so not to in any way
- 26:46Speaker 3: take away from her experiences. Right. But I have a
- 26:50Speaker 3: daughter from a previous relationship, and now I have my
- 26:52Speaker 3: son with my husband, and I know that for me personally,
- 26:56Speaker 3: I go out of my way to ensure that they
- 26:58Speaker 3: feel equal. I never want my daughter to be in
- 27:01Speaker 3: this house feeling like, oh, Mommy and Noah and Duquan
- 27:05Speaker 3: are sitting there on the couch and I'm off to myself.
- 27:07Speaker 3: I don't play like that my kids are equal. It
- 27:11Speaker 3: doesn't matter who your father is. I'm your mother, and
- 27:13Speaker 3: this is what it is. So I think that a
- 27:17Speaker 3: lot of what she may have felt came from the
- 27:19Speaker 3: fact that you see mom and dad in this household,
- 27:22Speaker 3: and no matter if my dad adopts you, no matter
- 27:24Speaker 3: if he takes you under his wing, no matter all
- 27:26Speaker 3: of these things, you still don't feel like this is
- 27:30Speaker 3: really mine. You almost feel like an outsider in some ways.
- 27:34Speaker 3: And so for me, I always felt like, how do
- 27:41Speaker 3: I get us to be equal, or how do I
- 27:43Speaker 3: get her to feel like she's just as much loved
- 27:46Speaker 3: and adored as I am? You know what I'm saying.
- 27:48Speaker 3: Like you see me having these great experiences with my father,
- 27:51Speaker 3: I want you to have the same thing. So I
- 27:55Speaker 3: can't tell you what her thought process was. I can't
- 27:59Speaker 3: tell you what I'm thought process was. But for me,
- 28:03Speaker 3: even if I did have the material things, I still
- 28:06Speaker 3: felt just as my sister did. We was both left
- 28:11Speaker 3: here with our grandmother. She didn't take me with her
- 28:16Speaker 3: like our experiences. Maybe because yours are different, it doesn't change.
- 28:24Speaker 3: It doesn't change that we were raised by the same mother.
- 28:27Speaker 3: Do you get what I'm saying. So much of what
- 28:30Speaker 3: you experienced I probably did too. It may have looked
- 28:32Speaker 3: different for you because it is different for you, but
- 28:36Speaker 3: that doesn't mean that you got this monster and I
- 28:40Speaker 3: got this perfect mother. That's not what happened. Now, If
- 28:44Speaker 3: that's what you if that's your experience, I understand that.
- 28:46Speaker 3: But that wasn't my experience.
- 28:48Speaker 4: And it goes back to what we say that children
- 28:52Speaker 4: can live in the same household with their parents and
- 28:55Speaker 4: have a different experience. And I think that's the case
- 28:57Speaker 4: with you and your siblings when it comes see your father,
- 29:02Speaker 4: Would you open up to your dad about how you
- 29:04Speaker 4: felt about the things I've gone with your mom or
- 29:06Speaker 4: you kept that too. Oh no.
- 29:08Speaker 3: We just got to this point in like my late
- 29:13Speaker 3: twenties where I finally started to really open up and
- 29:17Speaker 3: be transparent with my dad and tell him because I
- 29:20Speaker 3: started to see him as a person and not a parent.
- 29:25Speaker 3: So because of that, I'm like, Okay, I could see
- 29:28Speaker 3: where you were coming from when you didn't want me
- 29:30Speaker 3: to do this or you didn't want me to do that.
- 29:31Speaker 3: I started to relate to him more, and so I
- 29:33Speaker 3: felt comfortable opening up. I felt comfortable saying yeah, like
- 29:37Speaker 3: this is this is where I was at, or this
- 29:39Speaker 3: is what I thought, or this is what I felt.
- 29:41Speaker 3: And the difference and I'm not trying to compare them,
- 29:44Speaker 3: but I'm speaking on my experience. The difference between my
- 29:47Speaker 3: mom and dad is that he is very quick to
- 29:50Speaker 3: take accountability, apologize, acknowledge, understand even if he doesn't agree right,
- 29:56Speaker 3: And so then you have the polar opposite parent who
- 29:59Speaker 3: is the no accountability And it's it's very hard to
- 30:04Speaker 3: find that balance because on one hand, I don't feel
- 30:07Speaker 3: safe to share this with you, and on the other hand,
- 30:10Speaker 3: you're like my best friend. It's very hard to find
- 30:14Speaker 3: that balance.
- 30:18Speaker 4: I've been told through many psychiatrists and the many books
- 30:24Speaker 4: that I read that for most girls, not all, but
- 30:30Speaker 4: for most girls, your first bully is your mom. I
- 30:36Speaker 4: have been told that when I say that, I'm not
- 30:39Speaker 4: calling your mother a bully. What I'm saying is based
- 30:42Speaker 4: on your relationship with your mother.
- 30:46Speaker 2: And you said.
- 30:46Speaker 4: Something so poignant earlier when you said, perhaps my mother
- 30:52Speaker 4: did the best she could with the information she had
- 30:56Speaker 4: of being a mom.
- 30:59Speaker 2: Do you think mother intentionally.
- 31:03Speaker 4: Wanted to treat you the way she treated you, or
- 31:07Speaker 4: do you think, now being a mom, my mother did
- 31:12Speaker 4: the best she could with the information she had.
- 31:16Speaker 3: I think it's a bit of both. Honestly, I think
- 31:19Speaker 3: that that is my truth, that I experienced a mom
- 31:23Speaker 3: who maybe had no plans of being a mom, right,
- 31:27Speaker 3: and this all kind of just fill into your lap,
- 31:29Speaker 3: like maybe you didn't want to be a mom, but
- 31:31Speaker 3: you're taking your responsibilities on. I don't know her backstory
- 31:34Speaker 3: like that, or I haven't had these sort of layered
- 31:37Speaker 3: conversations with her to understand where her mind was when
- 31:40Speaker 3: she had my sister, when she had me, or when
- 31:42Speaker 3: she had my brother. But I think that at times
- 31:48Speaker 3: you didn't know any better, so you couldn't do any better.
- 31:51Speaker 3: But then there are other instances where it's like, now
- 31:54Speaker 3: you know you was dragging it right, like you know
- 31:56Speaker 3: you was out of line. And because I can never
- 31:59Speaker 3: have that sort of real, honest conversation where she just
- 32:03Speaker 3: takes the mask off and she just says, you know what,
- 32:05Speaker 3: this is the real right and meets me in this
- 32:09Speaker 3: conversation with the desire to understand instead of attack or
- 32:14Speaker 3: feel attacked. We can't really get anywhere because I'm telling
- 32:20Speaker 3: you what my experiences are and you're telling me what
- 32:23Speaker 3: maybe your intentions were, and we just can't We can't
- 32:26Speaker 3: meet somewhere in the middle, you know what I mean.
- 32:29Speaker 3: And that's how things start to really deteriorate and play
- 32:33Speaker 3: out how they have.
- 32:36Speaker 4: You were closer grandmother with is Jackie's mom growing up?
- 32:40Speaker 4: What did you see in terms of how was Jackie's
- 32:43Speaker 4: relationship this strange mother figure who you felt at the time,
- 32:48Speaker 4: what was her relationship and dynamic Like with your grandmother
- 32:53Speaker 4: who you cherish and just love so much.
- 32:58Speaker 3: It wasn't bad. I think that she was. I think
- 33:05Speaker 3: the only one in this life that I've witnessed outside
- 33:08Speaker 3: of my dad, who really loved my mom unconditionally, like
- 33:13Speaker 3: I know who you are, I know how you are,
- 33:15Speaker 3: and I'm gonna love you through that. I'm gonna try
- 33:17Speaker 3: to fix you in some ways, you get what I'm saying, Like,
- 33:22Speaker 3: my mom is one of nine. My room had nine kids,
- 33:25Speaker 3: and this is the one that you chose to live
- 33:28Speaker 3: with help out. Do you get what I'm saying? Like
- 33:30Speaker 3: there are still eight other children, But my mom was
- 33:34Speaker 3: more so like I'm not gonna say the problem child,
- 33:37Speaker 3: but I think that my grandmother knew she is the
- 33:39Speaker 3: one that needs it the most, and so having her there,
- 33:43Speaker 3: it was like she just picked up a lot of
- 33:47Speaker 3: the slack. She just did all the things. You're cooking
- 33:50Speaker 3: every meal, you're taking us to school, pickup, drop off,
- 33:52Speaker 3: sitting in the parking lot sometimes like do you get
- 33:54Speaker 3: what I'm saying? You're taking on you're being the mother
- 33:58Speaker 3: for her, and whether that was you are enabling her
- 34:03Speaker 3: to not step up to the plate as a mom,
- 34:06Speaker 3: whether you feel like you're giving her the support that
- 34:08Speaker 3: she needs for her own mental I don't know. And
- 34:11Speaker 3: because my grandmother is no longer here, I can't really
- 34:14Speaker 3: have that conversation and get that sort of clarity and
- 34:17Speaker 3: understanding to be able to better understand, my mom, I
- 34:21Speaker 3: don't have that.
- 34:23Speaker 2: In this very moment, I have a light bulb moment.
- 34:28Speaker 4: Maybe you recognize it in yourself and you have or
- 34:30Speaker 4: maybe you have it. In this very moment, I have
- 34:35Speaker 4: aha moment of if any black child grew up where
- 34:42Speaker 4: their grandmother pretty much raised them, the moment your grandmother
- 34:48Speaker 4: passed away, you lost her protector. Oh my gosh, you
- 34:55Speaker 4: lost her protector. And I think, subconsciously, Chantelle, the moment
- 35:01Speaker 4: the woman who you felt protected you was there for you,
- 35:05Speaker 4: you love, the moment she passed away, you were now
- 35:11Speaker 4: forced to deal with your mother alone, without that.
- 35:14Speaker 2: Shield, without that shield.
- 35:16Speaker 3: And at that point, I really felt like a motherless child.
- 35:20Speaker 3: Even though my mother is here in the flesh. This
- 35:24Speaker 3: woman that has raised me and taught me and picked
- 35:29Speaker 3: me up when I was down and just been that safe,
- 35:31Speaker 3: protective space for all of these years. Now she's gone
- 35:37Speaker 3: and she's I mean, she passed away from cancer, like
- 35:39Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying, so watching her deteriorate, and
- 35:42Speaker 3: I was her caregiver for like the last year of
- 35:44Speaker 3: her life. Like there were so many hurt feelings and
- 35:49Speaker 3: just so much It was just so heavy for me,
- 35:52Speaker 3: you know, what I mean. And I think that maybe
- 35:55Speaker 3: my mom in her mind thought things would change between us,
- 36:00Speaker 3: or maybe she I don't know, but I wasn't able
- 36:03Speaker 3: to build a relationship with her at that point. Like
- 36:08Speaker 3: I moved out at eighteen, And this is what people
- 36:11Speaker 3: fail to realize about me. They think, like I've just
- 36:13Speaker 3: been spoiled all my life. I moved out at eighteen
- 36:15Speaker 3: and when got a job at Walmart because I wanted
- 36:19Speaker 3: to be away from my mom. I didn't want to
- 36:22Speaker 3: live off of her. I didn't want to be provided
- 36:26Speaker 3: for and all these things that people think. When my
- 36:28Speaker 3: grandma died, I was like, Okay, now I got to
- 36:30Speaker 3: hit the ground running. I have to figure something out.
- 36:33Speaker 3: And within a month I was a cashier at Walmart,
- 36:36Speaker 3: name tag and all, and from there moved to North
- 36:39Speaker 3: Stroum and assistant manager at Hustler Hollywood. And I've had
- 36:42Speaker 3: a lot of odds and end jobs along the way
- 36:46Speaker 3: to prevent depending on my mom and to prevent maybe
- 36:51Speaker 3: having the tough conversation.
- 36:52Speaker 4: I was just about to say, I don't think it
- 36:54Speaker 4: was to prevent to prevent you from dealing with her.
- 36:59Speaker 4: It's not prevent what you did, was chantel when your
- 37:02Speaker 4: grandmother passed away and you're eighteen years old. Well, you
- 37:06Speaker 4: don't realize you did, my love. You were escaping your mother.
- 37:11Speaker 4: You ran away, You ran away from home.
- 37:16Speaker 3: Oh no, for sure.
- 37:16Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying, Like you ran away. The
- 37:19Speaker 2: fact that this woman who.
- 37:20Speaker 4: I love is no longer here, Yes, and she's removed
- 37:23Speaker 4: from the equation. I'm not forced and face to deal
- 37:26Speaker 4: with that. And I can't deal with that because again,
- 37:29Speaker 4: I relate to you so much because when my mom
- 37:32Speaker 4: passed away, because I want the world to know that
- 37:35Speaker 4: I now see you so differently now when my mom
- 37:38Speaker 4: passed away, all nine, I have ten siblings, so I
- 37:42Speaker 4: can relate to Jackie too. I have nine siblings. It's
- 37:46Speaker 4: ten of us. All of us were extremely close to
- 37:49Speaker 4: our mother. The moment our mother passed away, I'm not
- 37:52Speaker 4: gonna speak for everybody. I'll speak for myself, just to
- 37:55Speaker 4: be safe, because I don't need no drama in my family.
- 37:58Speaker 4: The moment my mom passed away, I said, I have
- 38:03Speaker 4: to talk to my father. Now we're fine, but I
- 38:07Speaker 4: will call my mom and she'd be like, you know,
- 38:10Speaker 4: she is your dad's birthday.
- 38:11Speaker 2: Oh tell my seventy birthday? All right?
- 38:14Speaker 4: Absolutely, Carlos blah blah blah blah, your father in the background.
- 38:17Speaker 4: Oh time, I said, Hi. It wasn't until my mother
- 38:20Speaker 4: passed away that I said to myself, I now have
- 38:23Speaker 4: to develop a relationship with my father. When your grandmother
- 38:27Speaker 4: passed away, you ran away because you did not want
- 38:31Speaker 4: to deal with the heavy work. And it's heavy to
- 38:34Speaker 4: all of a sudden at eighteen years old start a
- 38:37Speaker 4: relationship with your mom. And you've been what you have done, Chantelle,
- 38:42Speaker 4: which is no far of your own and you said
- 38:44Speaker 4: it earlier. You are still a little girl inside processing
- 38:48Speaker 4: your experience, and unfortunately you haven't been able to find
- 38:55Speaker 4: the worst to articulate it, and you suppressed it and
- 39:00Speaker 4: and your and your anger has manifested.
- 39:02Speaker 3: Absolutely m I read a comment that said, Takari is
- 39:07Speaker 3: sad and Chantelle is mad, and I said, preach, Clockey, preach,
- 39:15Speaker 3: That's that's what you see manifesting people you because maybe
- 39:19Speaker 3: because you don't see me crying and carrying on, you
- 39:22Speaker 3: can't have any sort of empathy for me. Right you
- 39:25Speaker 3: see the anger, and it's like, how could you? But
- 39:27Speaker 3: if you don't understand my plight, be grateful for that.
- 39:33Speaker 3: I've been through a lot of experiences in my life,
- 39:37Speaker 3: and that doesn't excuse my behavior. It doesn't you you.
- 39:43Speaker 4: You you hold full accountability absolutely for your behavior.
- 39:47Speaker 3: Absolutely, when I got to that door, I could have
- 39:49Speaker 3: and should have turned around and walked out of it
- 39:52Speaker 3: one thousand percent when I when I seen in real
- 39:55Speaker 3: life outside of these cameras, you're not going to take accountability.
- 39:59Speaker 3: You're not gonna acknowledge what you've been doing all season long.
- 40:03Speaker 3: Right now to the outside world, we both look like fools.
- 40:06Speaker 3: I just need to go. I couldn't do that. I
- 40:10Speaker 3: couldn't do that. For the first time in my life,
- 40:12Speaker 3: I'm tote to told with who I feel like was
- 40:15Speaker 3: my first bully, and I'm not backing down. I don't
- 40:20Speaker 3: something in me just I was spiraling and that's what
- 40:24Speaker 3: you see play out. I don't people think that because
- 40:29Speaker 3: I haven't come out and said I apologize to my
- 40:32Speaker 3: mom for this, is not that I think that I
- 40:34Speaker 3: was right in the altercation or in what happened. There
- 40:39Speaker 3: are plenty of instances and times during this season where
- 40:43Speaker 3: I was wrong, where I could have removed myself, where
- 40:45Speaker 3: I shouldn't have engaged. Absolutely, I understand that I'm not delusional,
- 40:49Speaker 3: like I know it looks that way, and I get it,
- 40:52Speaker 3: Like it's fear. You guys can only go off of
- 40:54Speaker 3: what you see, Like you said, you know, I get it,
- 40:57Speaker 3: But I know what a what I have experienced since
- 41:03Speaker 3: the start of filming this show, And that's what I
- 41:06Speaker 3: think that people fail to realize. When I'm on the
- 41:08Speaker 3: show and I'm talking about her taking accountability and apologizing
- 41:12Speaker 3: and so on and so forth, I'm talking about stuff
- 41:14Speaker 3: that's happening right now at my big age at thirty
- 41:16Speaker 3: two in Los Angeles, on these cameras, off these cameras
- 41:21Speaker 3: I'm talking about right now in this season, I wasn't
- 41:23Speaker 3: even talking about my childhood. Now, if we want to
- 41:26Speaker 3: tell the backstory and you want to understand better how
- 41:29Speaker 3: I kind of came to this place of not being
- 41:33Speaker 3: super close with her, we can do that. But what
- 41:35Speaker 3: I was searching for this season was not her to
- 41:37Speaker 3: go back and say, you know what, I shouldn't have
- 41:39Speaker 3: talked to you like that when you were a kid,
- 41:41Speaker 3: I shouldn't have such and such. I wasn't. That was
- 41:43Speaker 3: not what happened, and it did not come across that
- 41:46Speaker 3: way on camera at all. So that's something that I
- 41:52Speaker 3: have to live with. But because I know my truth
- 41:55Speaker 3: and I know my intentions, that's the only thing that
- 41:57Speaker 3: is keeping me afloat right now.
- 42:00Speaker 2: So let's get into that. You've been on the show before.
- 42:03Speaker 4: We've seen you a part of Basketball Guys a couple
- 42:06Speaker 4: of times. This was the first time where Okay, Chantelle
- 42:11Speaker 4: is low Kia full time cast member. When you got
- 42:14Speaker 4: the call to join the show, did you know that, Okay,
- 42:19Speaker 4: this is going to be an opportunity for me to
- 42:22Speaker 4: work with my mom. Like, where were you and your
- 42:24Speaker 4: mom's relationship when you got the phone call to join the.
- 42:28Speaker 2: Show this season?
- 42:30Speaker 3: We weren't in a bad space by any means necessary,
- 42:33Speaker 3: But we also weren't close. We weren't besties. We weren't
- 42:37Speaker 3: you know. I'm calling her and telling her my business.
- 42:40Speaker 3: What I want people to understand is that I moved
- 42:44Speaker 3: away from Sacramento and away from my mom when my
- 42:46Speaker 3: daughter was two and a half years old. She's eight
- 42:49Speaker 3: years old now, so me and Jackie have not been
- 42:53Speaker 3: living in the same state for five years. We're talking
- 42:58Speaker 3: over text, we have our phone. She'll send the kids
- 43:01Speaker 3: Christmas gifts. That's the sort of interactions that we're having
- 43:05Speaker 3: ever so often. I'll go to Sacramento. Obviously my dad,
- 43:08Speaker 3: you know where he works. So Disney on Ice is
- 43:11Speaker 3: coming to Golden One Center. I'm gonna take the kids,
- 43:13Speaker 3: things like that. But me and my mom had not
- 43:15Speaker 3: been in the same space for extended periods of time
- 43:19Speaker 3: in years years. This is not somebody that I'm seeing
- 43:24Speaker 3: and everything is great off camera and then I get
- 43:26Speaker 3: on camera and I cod switch on you. That's not
- 43:28Speaker 3: what happened. We were not locked in. We were not
- 43:32Speaker 3: where we are now by any means necessary, or I
- 43:34Speaker 3: never would have agreed to come and do the show.
- 43:37Speaker 3: But I think that I had high hopes that I've
- 43:41Speaker 3: been on this show before I had to sit down
- 43:43Speaker 3: with Laura, I've had all the drama with other girls
- 43:46Speaker 3: and all of these things. I can come on and
- 43:48Speaker 3: show the growth I can show. Okay, like, no, we
- 43:53Speaker 3: definitely don't have the best history. We definitely don't have
- 43:55Speaker 3: you know, the we have a very checkered past. But
- 43:58Speaker 3: we're moving forward. We're trying to move forward. So when
- 44:03Speaker 3: my mom reaches out and the producers reach out, this
- 44:06Speaker 3: is this is months in the making. And the first
- 44:10Speaker 3: several times I said no, I'm a newlywed, I have
- 44:15Speaker 3: this new baby, Like, I don't need this, respectfully, like
- 44:19Speaker 3: I get it. Everybody said I did this for a check.
- 44:21Speaker 3: I was. I appropriately compensated for my time. Absolutely, I
- 44:24Speaker 3: wasn't gonna do it for free. But did I need this? No,
- 44:28Speaker 3: my husband takes impeccable care of his family. So I
- 44:31Speaker 3: didn't come on here for the sake of a check
- 44:34Speaker 3: to embarrass Jackie. That's not the way that this played out.
- 44:37Speaker 3: Y'all came and found me. I was in Arizona, out
- 44:41Speaker 3: the way for years. I was never in the blogs.
- 44:43Speaker 3: I was never in no drama. I was out the
- 44:44Speaker 3: way for years. I was living a happy, peaceful life,
- 44:48Speaker 3: letting my husband love on me, letting my kids build memories.
- 44:51Speaker 3: And I was good. Y'all came and found me. I
- 44:56Speaker 3: turned it down multiple times, and grow continued encouragement and
- 45:02Speaker 3: petitions and so on and so forth from my mom. Oh,
- 45:06Speaker 3: come on, Danna, we're gonna do this. It's gonna be great,
- 45:08Speaker 3: it's gonna be positive. Come make your little money and
- 45:10Speaker 3: go on about your business. I'm talking to my husband
- 45:13Speaker 3: about him, like, what do you think he's like? I mean,
- 45:15Speaker 3: I don't know, you know, you know same thing my
- 45:18Speaker 3: dad said, you know how y'all could get I don't
- 45:20Speaker 3: know if it's the best idea, but if.
- 45:21Speaker 2: You your father wasn't even into the.
- 45:23Speaker 5: Idem Wow, hell no, all right now, because he knows,
- 45:29Speaker 5: like we don't have the best track record, we don't
- 45:34Speaker 5: have the closest relationship, and he knows that we're both
- 45:37Speaker 5: firecrackers in that way.
- 45:38Speaker 3: He knows his child, and he knows I'm not going
- 45:40Speaker 3: to back down. And once you take me to that point,
- 45:42Speaker 3: I could give up about these cameras and anything else.
- 45:45Speaker 3: I don't. I don't play like that. You can see
- 45:48Speaker 3: in her previous interviews where she says, my daughter is
- 45:51Speaker 3: a very private person. I begged her to be on
- 45:53Speaker 3: this show, so I didn't. I wasn't looking for this,
- 45:56Speaker 3: ye know.
- 45:56Speaker 4: I interviewed your mom, of course, and she says, your
- 45:59Speaker 4: mother said I but you said, like she reached out
- 46:03Speaker 4: to get you on the show.
- 46:04Speaker 2: Your mother hick con from that to me.
- 46:06Speaker 3: So you brought me here to play in my face?
- 46:10Speaker 2: That's how you felt, or do you still feel that way?
- 46:13Speaker 3: I mean, we could get into the meat bones of
- 46:14Speaker 3: what happened. Absolutely, that is what happened. You played in
- 46:17Speaker 3: my face.
- 46:20Speaker 2: Okay, So I'm a huge Basketball Wives fan. I watch
- 46:27Speaker 2: every single episode. I'm a Basketball Wives historian.
- 46:30Speaker 4: Okay, I saw you on the show, you and dre
- 46:34Speaker 4: et Orlando that whole thing, and I saw you confront
- 46:39Speaker 4: Evelyn about Jackie and the Jackie's like what you doing?
- 46:42Speaker 2: You're like, Mom, I came down my weed.
- 46:45Speaker 4: Stel intact, like everything's good, right, I'll trust me. Carlo's
- 46:49Speaker 4: kigs are fed up of Wives. It's the greatest show
- 46:51Speaker 4: bah one in my opinion. So we saw the top
- 46:57Speaker 4: of the season. We see your mom be you know,
- 47:02Speaker 4: adulting grandmother in the sense of, like, you know, having
- 47:04Speaker 4: fun with you guys. But one thing that I still
- 47:07Speaker 4: do not understand. And again us producer, I know that
- 47:11Speaker 4: oftentimes a lot of things aren't shown, and I want
- 47:14Speaker 4: you to have the ability to address it. What was
- 47:20Speaker 4: the moment this season where you felt like things took
- 47:26Speaker 4: a turn between you and your mom?
- 47:32Speaker 3: The first scene.
- 47:36Speaker 6: In the.
- 47:38Speaker 3: Apartment apartment, Now, put your producer hat on. Follow me here.
- 47:44Speaker 2: Now.
- 47:44Speaker 3: Everybody is saying from the first scene that she came in,
- 47:47Speaker 3: you act like you was on ten. You were so disrespectful.
- 47:50Speaker 3: Understand something my mom met my son when he was
- 47:53Speaker 3: seven months old. When she comes in the door and
- 47:57Speaker 3: I say, oh, he got to warm up. That's meat
- 47:59Speaker 3: for real, real as a mama bear. I'm not gonna
- 48:02Speaker 3: put him in your arms for the sake of these
- 48:04Speaker 3: cameras and have him on here howling and carrying on.
- 48:06Speaker 3: I want him to be comfortable. I'm I set out
- 48:10Speaker 3: when I when I signed up to do this show
- 48:12Speaker 3: to really establish the real and reality TV. I understand
- 48:18Speaker 3: that people have grown accustomed to seeing these women get
- 48:20Speaker 3: on here and sit down and fight and argue and
- 48:22Speaker 3: throw drinks and go to dinner and talk about the
- 48:24Speaker 3: same thing. And I that wasn't what I signed up for.
- 48:27Speaker 3: I'm gonna be my real, true, authentic self. Whoever likes it,
- 48:30Speaker 3: likes it, whoever doesn't, that's okay too. So you're seeing
- 48:35Speaker 3: these little you know, nuances or whatever in our relationship.
- 48:39Speaker 3: This is our real dynamic. And I'm not gonna get
- 48:42Speaker 3: on here and pretend for anybody here you go, here's grandma.
- 48:45Speaker 3: I wasn't gonna do that. Why would I do that
- 48:47Speaker 3: to this is my real son. This is not no
- 48:50Speaker 3: prop baby.
- 48:52Speaker 2: And how old would your son up the time of
- 48:53Speaker 2: that scene?
- 48:54Speaker 3: I was, I think nine months postpartum, so he was, Yeah,
- 48:58Speaker 3: he was like nine ten months, so right in there.
- 49:01Speaker 4: So your mother met yourselphabet part seven months? Was that
- 49:07Speaker 4: the second time she was around?
- 49:09Speaker 3: That was maybe maybe the third, right right within there.
- 49:15Speaker 3: I think that that she had because obviously I had
- 49:20Speaker 3: been in La in that apartment well before we started filming,
- 49:23Speaker 3: right like a week or two or whatever. She had
- 49:25Speaker 3: seen him on different occasions. But not, my mom is
- 49:31Speaker 3: not picking up my son taking him to the park.
- 49:33Speaker 3: This is not one of those sort of situations. You
- 49:35Speaker 3: can come over and see him. You can come and visit,
- 49:37Speaker 3: visit him, absolutely, like, that's not I'm not going to
- 49:40Speaker 3: keep you from your grandkids, right, but you also don't
- 49:44Speaker 3: have that sort of typical grandparent relationship with him, right
- 49:50Speaker 3: you may she may have had that with my daughter
- 49:52Speaker 3: because I lived in Sacramento at the time, So for
- 49:54Speaker 3: the first two and a half years of her life,
- 49:55Speaker 3: you are able to see her, you are able to
- 49:57Speaker 3: have these great experience as a grandparent. But when it
- 50:00Speaker 3: comes to my son, that wasn't the case. So fast forward,
- 50:04Speaker 3: she comes in, she sits down, We're having our little
- 50:07Speaker 3: you know talk, whatever she says, and I haven't said
- 50:12Speaker 3: this publicly. She says, Banna, I don't mean to pry,
- 50:19Speaker 3: but how are things with and insert my daughter's father's name.
- 50:25Speaker 3: She says, how are things with Stacy? And I'm like,
- 50:31Speaker 3: I know you fucking did, now mind you? Leading up
- 50:35Speaker 3: to this, We've had multiple conversations that we will not
- 50:40Speaker 3: talk about that on this platform. I'm in the thick
- 50:43Speaker 3: of a custody battle. I'm going through a nobody out
- 50:47Speaker 3: of my grandmother's nine kids. Nobody in our family has
- 50:51Speaker 3: ever had any sort of custody court anything family wise.
- 50:57Speaker 3: They always figured it out amongst themselves. So here I
- 51:02Speaker 3: am in the middle of this very heavy, serious situation.
- 51:09Speaker 3: You promised me that you are not going to talk
- 51:12Speaker 3: about it. You promise me that you will not bring
- 51:15Speaker 3: it up. And if somebody else brings it up, you
- 51:16Speaker 3: could just get up and you could just walk away,
- 51:18Speaker 3: don't engage, and you get in here in the first
- 51:21Speaker 3: thing and you throw me under the bus. Now, as
- 51:27Speaker 3: a producer, you know, we don't know what's gonna be
- 51:30Speaker 3: used at this point. I don't know if they're gonna
- 51:33Speaker 3: use it. I don't know if this is gonna get legs.
- 51:34Speaker 3: I don't know if now they're gonna take this and say, Brandy,
- 51:37Speaker 3: ask her about her daughter's father or such and such,
- 51:40Speaker 3: asker about the court case. I don't know how this
- 51:42Speaker 3: is gonna play out, but I know that you and
- 51:44Speaker 3: I had multiple conversations leading up to the start of filming.
- 51:50Speaker 3: We agree we would not talk about this. Understand, my
- 51:57Speaker 3: daughter has her father, My sister has her father. Mom,
- 52:04Speaker 3: you have a child from a previous relationship, just like
- 52:07Speaker 3: I do. Do you want me to come in here
- 52:08Speaker 3: and sit down and say, so, how are things with Tyrone?
- 52:11Speaker 3: Have you talked to him lately? What is the drama like?
- 52:13Speaker 3: That would have been so messy, that would have been
- 52:16Speaker 3: so crazy and tacky on my part as your daughter.
- 52:20Speaker 3: So you can do that to me, and I'm just
- 52:22Speaker 3: supposed to eat it now. You and Dustin both said,
- 52:25Speaker 3: she's very well versed at this. She knows what she's doing.
- 52:28Speaker 3: She knows there are certain things that you just don't
- 52:31Speaker 3: because you never know what's gonna be used. So in
- 52:35Speaker 3: that moment that it clicks in my mind and I'm like,
- 52:38Speaker 3: here's she go yet again. You're not protecting me. Now,
- 52:42Speaker 3: you're taking me back to my childhood. Now I'm feeling
- 52:45Speaker 3: exposed now I'm feeling naked now. I'm feeling like the
- 52:48Speaker 3: very person that begged me to come here is gonna
- 52:52Speaker 3: play in my face for what reason. I'm if we
- 52:55Speaker 3: really get to the nitty gritty of things. Out of
- 52:59Speaker 3: everybody on this cast, technically I am the basketball wife.
- 53:05Speaker 3: My father played basketball, but he's a coach now. Nobody
- 53:10Speaker 3: else on this cast is married to someone that is
- 53:12Speaker 3: currently in the league. That's not me tooting my own horn.
- 53:16Speaker 3: If we're talking about the title of this show, that's
- 53:19Speaker 3: what it is. You had so much meat and bones
- 53:22Speaker 3: and things. You could have talked about, what is life
- 53:24Speaker 3: like with your husband living here and you live in
- 53:26Speaker 3: there with the kids, and there's so much we could
- 53:28Speaker 3: have talked about. Why would you come on here and
- 53:31Speaker 3: bring up my daughter's father when you know the dynamic
- 53:37Speaker 3: and you think that I'm not gonna feel some sort
- 53:39Speaker 3: of way, you know me, So I didn't allow that
- 53:46Speaker 3: to ruffle my feathers on camera. I gave her a
- 53:48Speaker 3: very you know, diplomatic answer, just you know, we're trying
- 53:52Speaker 3: to work through this as a family. Hopefully you know,
- 53:55Speaker 3: the judge will approve the relocation and whatever. As best
- 53:57Speaker 3: as I could wrap it up in that moment while
- 54:00Speaker 3: my mind I'm spiraling, I'm like, this, lady did not
- 54:04Speaker 3: just do this when we rap filming. I called my dad,
- 54:07Speaker 3: I called my brother, I called my husband. I said,
- 54:10Speaker 3: she's on some bullshit. She's on some bullshit. I don't
- 54:14Speaker 3: know why she brought me here. I don't know why
- 54:16Speaker 3: she would do that. And collectively they're all like what,
- 54:25Speaker 3: there's no way she got on camera and said that.
- 54:27Speaker 3: They did not believe me. I said, on my children,
- 54:30Speaker 3: this is what she just got in here and said.
- 54:32Speaker 3: And you know you're wrong, which is why you let
- 54:34Speaker 3: it with. I don't mean to pride, but you're being messy.
- 54:39Speaker 3: You are being so messy right now for what reason?
- 54:42Speaker 3: There was a thousand things we could have talked about.
- 54:47Speaker 3: If we're you guys sold me on the idea that
- 54:50Speaker 3: you're trying to bring back basketball wives, you're trying to
- 54:53Speaker 3: bring it back into the fold and talk about the
- 54:56Speaker 3: things in the NBA and so on and so forth.
- 54:58Speaker 3: Why are we not talking about that? What does my
- 55:02Speaker 3: ex and whatever we have going on with my minor
- 55:06Speaker 3: daughter have to do with right now today?
- 55:09Speaker 4: Did you confront your mom after the scene was over?
- 55:12Speaker 3: Absolutely? Are you serious?
- 55:17Speaker 4: No?
- 55:17Speaker 3: Banna I did, I said, Mom, So you mean to
- 55:19Speaker 3: tell me that we haven't had multiple discussion. Well, I
- 55:22Speaker 3: didn't know that. I was just saying it so I
- 55:25Speaker 3: could just get it out the way.
- 55:28Speaker 2: Because one thing that and this is me being rial
- 55:31Speaker 2: with you.
- 55:31Speaker 4: One thing that all of us collectively who watch the
- 55:34Speaker 4: show and love your mom's personality on this show, is
- 55:38Speaker 4: your mother knows your mother is a great reality star.
- 55:41Speaker 4: Absolutely right. Yeah, so we know that your mother has
- 55:44Speaker 4: ability to bring up stuff, or say stuff, or do
- 55:48Speaker 4: stuff for the entertainment of the show.
- 55:51Speaker 2: So in that moment, you felt like this, you're playing
- 55:55Speaker 2: up for the cameras.
- 55:56Speaker 3: You're planning up for the cameras with me, your blood daughter,
- 56:00Speaker 3: who were supposed to be This storyline is that we
- 56:03Speaker 3: are rebuilding and you know I'm living in the same
- 56:06Speaker 3: building you're able to do. You get what I'm saying,
- 56:08Speaker 3: like that is the plan, And then you come in
- 56:11Speaker 3: here and you throw me under the bus like I'm
- 56:12Speaker 3: one of your castmates. I don't really understand where you're
- 56:14Speaker 3: coming from, got it? But now going forward, you still
- 56:17Speaker 3: want my loyalty, You still want me to hold you
- 56:20Speaker 3: in this high regard and paint this picture that everything
- 56:23Speaker 3: is great between us. I'm not doing that. That's not
- 56:26Speaker 3: what you're gonna get from me. But even still, even
- 56:29Speaker 3: after that, there were still multiple scenes where I tried,
- 56:33Speaker 3: I really just I'm just gonna fight the bullet. I'm
- 56:35Speaker 3: just not gonna feed into it. I'm just gonna She
- 56:37Speaker 3: had a photo shoot. I went and supported her. I wasn't.
- 56:40Speaker 3: I didn't come on camera and melt down about that.
- 56:42Speaker 3: I didn't say how dare you do that? I let
- 56:44Speaker 3: it die in hopes that they're never going to use this,
- 56:47Speaker 3: like maybe they just won't even pay it no mind
- 56:49Speaker 3: and just go on right. But because this is my
- 56:53Speaker 3: first go round as a cast member, I decided ultimately
- 56:56Speaker 3: later on in the season to bring it into the
- 56:58Speaker 3: fold and to say listen, so that there's nothing nobody
- 57:01Speaker 3: can come and put no card down on the table
- 57:03Speaker 3: for me. This is what I'm dealing with. I am
- 57:06Speaker 3: going through custody case. I am trying to get approved
- 57:09Speaker 3: of relocation. I do have judges and so on and
- 57:11Speaker 3: so forth in my life. This is what's happening. Because
- 57:13Speaker 3: I don't know what they're gonna use, but I know
- 57:16Speaker 3: that you as the mega incredible reality star that you
- 57:21Speaker 3: are you know the way that this game goes, So
- 57:26Speaker 3: to do me like that, I just I really couldn't
- 57:30Speaker 3: stomach it. And I think that that coupled with and
- 57:35Speaker 3: this is also something that I've never talked about publicly,
- 57:38Speaker 3: and I don't know if she will feel a way
- 57:39Speaker 3: about me doing this. But off camera, on the way
- 57:43Speaker 3: to Hawaii, Jackie tried to get Brandy to bring some
- 57:49Speaker 3: tea about me from a mutual friend that they had
- 57:52Speaker 3: a mutual friend that Jackie and Brandy had came to
- 57:54Speaker 3: Brandy and said, I got some tea on Jackie's daughter.
- 57:57Speaker 3: Now the tea was ice cold, he said, I was
- 57:59Speaker 3: a Lisbie. I'm not, but I can go ahead and
- 58:03Speaker 3: put that out there. She tried to get Brandy to
- 58:06Speaker 3: bring it into the fold. Brandy told her no. At
- 58:08Speaker 3: the airport on the boat scene where you see her
- 58:13Speaker 3: sitting there, she tries to get Brandy to do it again.
- 58:16Speaker 3: Now this time it's on camera and Brandy's yelling at
- 58:20Speaker 3: her and we're like, what is going on in Brand's
- 58:22Speaker 3: going no, Jackie, I'm not doing it. No, Jackie, I'm
- 58:23Speaker 3: not doing it. After the fact, it's shared with me that, yeah,
- 58:27Speaker 3: she wanted me to bring this tea about you to
- 58:30Speaker 3: the show. Oh so you're playing a really dirty game
- 58:35Speaker 3: right now, and because you've been doing this so long,
- 58:40Speaker 3: you know I'm gonna get her to the point of
- 58:45Speaker 3: no return. She's gonna give this season all she's got
- 58:48Speaker 3: because she really don't have no filter and she really
- 58:50Speaker 3: don't care about these cameras, and she really doesn't I'm
- 58:54Speaker 3: not articulate in that way. Maybe I'm well spoken, but
- 58:57Speaker 3: when I'm mad, I'm mad. I'm not finna sit here
- 58:59Speaker 3: and play with nobody. I get that that's what y'all
- 59:01Speaker 3: like to do, but I don't like to do that.
- 59:02Speaker 3: I told Brandy that in Vegas, everybody don't play like that.
- 59:06Speaker 3: I know that that's what you guys are used to,
- 59:08Speaker 3: but I don't play like that. So maybe this isn't
- 59:10Speaker 3: the platform for me. Maybe this isn't the space for
- 59:12Speaker 3: me because I'm not about to play with y'all. That's
- 59:16Speaker 3: not Listen. Once you guys finally see as the viewers
- 59:24Speaker 3: me get to Hawaii. Now, I have you bringing up
- 59:28Speaker 3: my daughter's father. I have you trying to bring messy
- 59:31Speaker 3: t via Brandy to this platform. I have later on
- 59:39Speaker 3: in the Hawaii trip, you telling Jennifer that you would
- 59:43Speaker 3: have grandparents' rights to my kids. Now, how messy is
- 59:47Speaker 3: that of you to say when you know that I'm
- 59:49Speaker 3: in court right now. All of these things are coming
- 59:55Speaker 3: at me and I'm still sitting here trying to take it, like,
- 59:59Speaker 3: do not take it there with this, lady, I don't
- 1:00:02Speaker 3: care how you feel. I don't care. Like I made
- 1:00:05Speaker 3: a promise to myself, to my husband, to my children,
- 1:00:07Speaker 3: to my father before I came on this show. I'm
- 1:00:09Speaker 3: not gonna get on here and show my ass. I'm
- 1:00:11Speaker 3: not gonna do it. I've watched you do it season
- 1:00:15Speaker 3: after season. I don't want to go along with that narrative.
- 1:00:18Speaker 3: I don't want people to say, oh, the Apple dom
- 1:00:20Speaker 3: far far from the tree and everything that they've been
- 1:00:22Speaker 3: saying about me. Now, I never wanted this, but I'm
- 1:00:25Speaker 3: also not gonna let nobody play in my face. So
- 1:00:29Speaker 3: if that means that this is what I have to
- 1:00:31Speaker 3: wear and y'all don't understand where I'm coming from, that's okay.
- 1:00:34Speaker 3: That's okay with me because I know what led up
- 1:00:37Speaker 3: to this point, and the cast members and castmates and
- 1:00:41Speaker 3: producers and so they all saw it in real time.
- 1:00:45Speaker 3: So if you want to come out now at this
- 1:00:47Speaker 3: point and offer Jackie an apology because of the way
- 1:00:52Speaker 3: that this fight was relayed. I understand it and I
- 1:00:55Speaker 3: respect it, But to say that y'all didn't see in
- 1:00:58Speaker 3: real time what she was doing to me on and
- 1:01:00Speaker 3: off camera, this has been a tough pill to swallow. Man,
- 1:01:06Speaker 3: this is crazy.
- 1:01:10Speaker 4: So it sounds to me, again going back to the
- 1:01:14Speaker 4: dynamic between you and your mom, it sounded to me like, like.
- 1:01:19Speaker 2: You said earlier, the little girl.
- 1:01:21Speaker 4: Resurfaced again when your mother caught you off guard by
- 1:01:25Speaker 4: bringing us something on camera that you two talked about
- 1:01:27Speaker 4: not bringing up absolutely and then obviously your mother allegedly
- 1:01:33Speaker 4: hearing something told Brandy bringing up Branny said, no, Brandy
- 1:01:36Speaker 4: tells you. Is that when you started to unravel and
- 1:01:41Speaker 4: the loyalty was gone? Because is that when you started
- 1:01:44Speaker 4: to say, well, Brandy, Jackie said, it's about you.
- 1:01:47Speaker 3: Well, what people don't understand and they always say, well,
- 1:01:50Speaker 3: why didn't you protect her when Brittany was going in
- 1:01:52Speaker 3: on her. I'm not protecting nobody. That's not protecting me.
- 1:01:56Speaker 3: This whole time that we're here in Vegas, you're on
- 1:01:59Speaker 3: the phone with me when we're not filming. I wasn't
- 1:02:01Speaker 3: staying at the house. I got a house separate from
- 1:02:03Speaker 3: them so that I could be with my kids. I
- 1:02:05Speaker 3: brought them to Vegas. You're on the phone with me
- 1:02:08Speaker 3: between these scenes. Yeah, because Brandy this and Brandy that.
- 1:02:10Speaker 3: You're talking down on her, no matter what you said,
- 1:02:12Speaker 3: I don't even have to repeat what you said, right,
- 1:02:14Speaker 3: But then you get on camera and you're grabbing Brandy
- 1:02:18Speaker 3: by the hand. Sis, I know you've been dealing with
- 1:02:19Speaker 3: a lot, and I know now that shit is rubbing
- 1:02:22Speaker 3: me the wrong way. You're playing a very dirty game.
- 1:02:26Speaker 3: If you don't want to get in between it, then
- 1:02:28Speaker 3: don't get in between it. There's eight other women here
- 1:02:30Speaker 3: that you could talk to, but you want to sit
- 1:02:31Speaker 3: here and buddy up to Brandy when you already know
- 1:02:34Speaker 3: I feel some sort of way about this person. Why
- 1:02:41Speaker 3: Because if the roles was reversed and I did that,
- 1:02:44Speaker 3: if this was last season when Evelyn called you whatever
- 1:02:46Speaker 3: she called you and brought up whatever she brought and
- 1:02:48Speaker 3: I was doing that with her, you would feel some
- 1:02:50Speaker 3: sort of way. But I'm behind the scenes telling you, yeah,
- 1:02:53Speaker 3: that's real tacky of her, and I just can't. You're
- 1:02:56Speaker 3: playing a very messy game and maybe you weren't prepared
- 1:03:01Speaker 3: for somebody that really knows you to come on here
- 1:03:04Speaker 3: and work alongside of you. And maybe when you offered me,
- 1:03:08Speaker 3: or you brought this opportunity to my door, you weren't
- 1:03:11Speaker 3: prepared for the way that I was coming. But anybody
- 1:03:18Speaker 3: that knows me knows I really do not play like that.
- 1:03:21Speaker 3: I don't play for these cameras. I could honestly care
- 1:03:23Speaker 3: less about any of I could have been ducked off
- 1:03:25Speaker 3: living on a farm. I wasn't bothering nobody. What did
- 1:03:30Speaker 3: you bring me here for? Just to do this? So
- 1:03:34Speaker 3: now I've become one of your castmates, and you're willing
- 1:03:37Speaker 3: to throw me under the bus and do me dirty
- 1:03:39Speaker 3: like you're willing to do everybody else. But you want
- 1:03:42Speaker 3: me to show you loyalty. You want me to stand
- 1:03:44Speaker 3: up for you because you and Brittany got into it. No,
- 1:03:45Speaker 3: I'm actually not going to do that, because, respectfully, she's
- 1:03:48Speaker 3: the only one spoke up for me and said anything.
- 1:03:51Speaker 3: Whether I met her ten minutes ago or I've known
- 1:03:53Speaker 3: her ten years, that's who spoke up for me. Why
- 1:03:55Speaker 3: are you so mad at her? You're getting defensive because
- 1:03:59Speaker 3: now now you see somebody else that's not just your
- 1:04:02Speaker 3: daughter that's saying this. Now, somebody that don't really know
- 1:04:05Speaker 3: neither one of y'all like that, is saying, Jackie, something's
- 1:04:09Speaker 3: wrong with this picture. I don't really like what's going
- 1:04:12Speaker 3: on here, and and now you want to jump over
- 1:04:14Speaker 3: couches and carrying on. But you can sit here with
- 1:04:18Speaker 3: the same person who Now mind you to give you
- 1:04:22Speaker 3: a bit of backstory on the Brandy thing. People say
- 1:04:24Speaker 3: that I started poking at her what they didn't show
- 1:04:27Speaker 3: you guys when we were in that room and I
- 1:04:29Speaker 3: said this to me, I said this to Denise and
- 1:04:31Speaker 3: whoever I think baby Evelyn was in the room. I said,
- 1:04:33Speaker 3: I'm gonna ask Brandy personally when we sit down at
- 1:04:36Speaker 3: the dinner table, like what's t why, Like why would
- 1:04:39Speaker 3: you invite Jennifer here when you know her in Evelynce dynamic.
- 1:04:42Speaker 3: Now I get everybody saying, well, why would you get
- 1:04:43Speaker 3: in it? You didn't know we're filming a TV show.
- 1:04:47Speaker 3: If I don't say nothing, y'all gonna say, Oh, you're
- 1:04:49Speaker 3: sitting there quiet as a church bouse. Do you get
- 1:04:50Speaker 3: what I'm saying? You damned if you don't. Yes, I'm
- 1:04:56Speaker 3: saying I set out my mouth. I'm gonna ask Brandy directly.
- 1:05:00Speaker 3: I'm not sitting here being messy with y'all. That's not
- 1:05:01Speaker 3: what I'm doing at all. I think it's crazy that
- 1:05:03Speaker 3: she did that. I'm going to ask her directly. Before
- 1:05:06Speaker 3: I had the opportunity to do that, Brandy comes barreling
- 1:05:09Speaker 3: around the corner with all the smoke for everybody in
- 1:05:11Speaker 3: the room. I get it you feel some sort of way,
- 1:05:13Speaker 3: you feel like we was around the corner talking about you.
- 1:05:15Speaker 3: But as for me, I said I was going to
- 1:05:17Speaker 3: ask you directly. You just didn't give me that opportunity
- 1:05:19Speaker 3: to So once we all make our way out to
- 1:05:22Speaker 3: the living room, the only person out of everybody that
- 1:05:25Speaker 3: was in the room you have smoke for is me
- 1:05:29Speaker 3: because I asked a very logical question, why did you
- 1:05:32Speaker 3: invite her here? Is this not the same thing that
- 1:05:35Speaker 3: you did last season when you invited Jackie to Brooks event.
- 1:05:40Speaker 3: So you do have a track record of doing this,
- 1:05:43Speaker 3: and I am asking you what's up? But I didn't
- 1:05:47Speaker 3: go picking with her. And regardless if in that moment
- 1:05:53Speaker 3: my mom wants to see that I can hold my
- 1:05:55Speaker 3: own I can. If this is on an audition for you,
- 1:05:58Speaker 3: and you just sitting there. She's sitting there with a
- 1:06:00Speaker 3: water bottle full of Titos like this, watching like everybody else. Okay,
- 1:06:06Speaker 3: you don't have to say nothing. You don't have to
- 1:06:07Speaker 3: insert yourself. You don't got to ask Brandy what her
- 1:06:09Speaker 3: issue is or why she got all this smoke for
- 1:06:11Speaker 3: me and nobody else. Maybe this was my freshman hazing,
- 1:06:13Speaker 3: and y'all wanted to see how I would handle it.
- 1:06:16Speaker 3: I don't care what they showed on that episode. I
- 1:06:18Speaker 3: handled myself very well. I get how it was cutting
- 1:06:21Speaker 3: spliced together, but I think that we walked away from
- 1:06:23Speaker 3: there with everybody on the same page that Okay, ain't
- 1:06:27Speaker 3: go back down like I'm not gonna hold you. That
- 1:06:30Speaker 3: was the general consensus. You understand, Oh, I totally understand.
- 1:06:34Speaker 4: Listen, when I look at basketball, Yes, the reason why
- 1:06:39Speaker 4: it's such an interesting subculture amongst other reality shows is
- 1:06:43Speaker 4: because to me, it is about.
- 1:06:45Speaker 2: This very unique, you know, organizing.
- 1:06:52Speaker 4: Subculture principle to where we're all in some form of
- 1:06:56Speaker 4: fashion can relate on being associated, past or present of athletes,
- 1:07:03Speaker 4: and it is sort of like I listen, I'll say,
- 1:07:06Speaker 4: I do feel like by proxy of just the show, right,
- 1:07:10Speaker 4: it's nobody's thought of it's all. I think it's a
- 1:07:13Speaker 4: subculture of basketball lives. Newbies get hazed. I think that's
- 1:07:17Speaker 4: what it is. And again, I've watched the show since
- 1:07:19Speaker 4: day one. I think that's just the nature of the show.
- 1:07:22Speaker 4: I can see your point being like everybody like, well,
- 1:07:24Speaker 4: this little bitch can handle her all and cheers of
- 1:07:27Speaker 4: the girls weekend like bitch.
- 1:07:28Speaker 3: Okay. So now we work our way through the Now,
- 1:07:33Speaker 3: mind you, we're in Vegas for several days. Over the
- 1:07:36Speaker 3: course of the breakfast the next morning, Brandy's making little comments.
- 1:07:40Speaker 3: You see, I'm laughing. I'm not really feeding into it
- 1:07:42Speaker 3: because I'm not even gonna take it there because I
- 1:07:44Speaker 3: can I can already see now. I know that behind
- 1:07:46Speaker 3: the scenes, Brandy has already kind of established chantell No,
- 1:07:50Speaker 3: I'm just playing, right, She know I'm not real right, No,
- 1:07:53Speaker 3: I don't know that you're not playing. I think that
- 1:07:55Speaker 3: you're dead serious. And now every time I see you,
- 1:07:57Speaker 3: I have a problem like That's That's how I'm feeling
- 1:08:00Speaker 3: in that moment. Obviously, later on throughout the season, I
- 1:08:02Speaker 3: was able to talk to Brandy and kind of get
- 1:08:04Speaker 3: a better understanding of her, and we just acknowledge. You're
- 1:08:07Speaker 3: a may Gemini, I'm a June Gemini, and we just
- 1:08:09Speaker 3: say it's just oil of water. You get what I'm saying.
- 1:08:12Speaker 3: But I think that the picture that was painted, and
- 1:08:18Speaker 3: I can understand how viewers took this from the scenes,
- 1:08:23Speaker 3: is that I'm telling her that I'm telling my mom,
- 1:08:26Speaker 3: don't say anything on my behalf, just be quiet. That
- 1:08:29Speaker 3: actually isn't what I said. I said I can handle myself.
- 1:08:35Speaker 1: I can.
- 1:08:36Speaker 3: I mean no, like, I can take care of this.
- 1:08:37Speaker 3: It's not a problem. Like you don't even got to
- 1:08:39Speaker 3: wory about it. You don't even if you don't want
- 1:08:40Speaker 3: to do it on your own, you don't have to
- 1:08:43Speaker 3: ask me for permission.
- 1:08:44Speaker 4: Right.
- 1:08:45Speaker 3: You see her coming for me for no apparent reason.
- 1:08:49Speaker 3: And I think where the lines get blurred is that
- 1:08:51Speaker 3: people are saying, well, you put boundaries in place. I
- 1:08:53Speaker 3: put boundaries in place for things like her not telling
- 1:08:55Speaker 3: my personal business. I put boundaries in place for her
- 1:08:58Speaker 3: not showing up to my apartment all hours the day
- 1:09:00Speaker 3: and night, coming in like that. Those are the boundaries
- 1:09:02Speaker 3: I'm speaking of. This has nothing to do with this
- 1:09:05Speaker 3: lady that you've known for all of these years. Keep
- 1:09:08Speaker 3: coming for me for no apparent reason. You're sitting within
- 1:09:11Speaker 3: arm's reach of this lady, you sharing this bread basket
- 1:09:14Speaker 3: like you are sending me. You are infuriating me at
- 1:09:19Speaker 3: this point, because why are you You just got off
- 1:09:22Speaker 3: the phone calling you If you don't want to involve yourself,
- 1:09:29Speaker 3: don't involve yourself. But don't sit here and fake kiss
- 1:09:31Speaker 3: Brandy's ass on this camera and make me look crazy.
- 1:09:35Speaker 3: If this is how you feel about Brandy, just hold that.
- 1:09:38Speaker 3: There's eight other women here, mean Ti, Denise, Brittany, Evelyn,
- 1:09:41Speaker 3: Shawnee that you could talk to, pick with, converse with,
- 1:09:44Speaker 3: et cetera. Why are you going for the person that
- 1:09:47Speaker 3: you know I feel some sort of way about, and that,
- 1:09:49Speaker 3: according to you off camera, you feel some sort of
- 1:09:52Speaker 3: way about. But I look crazy. No, No, we're not
- 1:09:58Speaker 3: We're we're not gonna do that' gonna do that. So
- 1:10:00Speaker 3: then to get to the lounge, where she eventually jumps
- 1:10:03Speaker 3: over the couch. As soon as I walked into the scene,
- 1:10:06Speaker 3: she grabbed Brandy's hands. She says, Sis, you know I
- 1:10:09Speaker 3: wanted to bring us all here tonight because you know,
- 1:10:12Speaker 3: I know that you've been going through a lot that
- 1:10:14Speaker 3: if you see my face, yeah, I'm like, I know
- 1:10:20Speaker 3: you ring like, I get that this is a show.
- 1:10:24Speaker 3: I get you've been doing this for so long and everything.
- 1:10:26Speaker 3: But if this is how you were gonna play, why
- 1:10:29Speaker 3: did you call me here? You could have done this
- 1:10:31Speaker 3: with any of the other girls. Why would you bring
- 1:10:33Speaker 3: me here knowing that our relationship is not the best already?
- 1:10:38Speaker 3: Did you think I was gonna feed into it? Did
- 1:10:40Speaker 3: you think that I had changed overnight and that I
- 1:10:41Speaker 3: had become someone that was going to play right along
- 1:10:43Speaker 3: with you? You know I'm not, so.
- 1:10:51Speaker 4: It was it was challenging for you to I now
- 1:10:56Speaker 4: have a greater understanding of this. On one end, your
- 1:10:59Speaker 4: mother and you know her, yes, and you know the actions,
- 1:11:04Speaker 4: the mannerism and all that of your mom, plus the
- 1:11:05Speaker 4: conversations you guys are having on camera, and then once
- 1:11:09Speaker 4: the camera's on, you're seeing a very different person courtesy
- 1:11:14Speaker 4: of what you're saying to me off camera isn't matching
- 1:11:18Speaker 4: things on camera. And because you're like, I'm here to
- 1:11:22Speaker 4: be my authentic self, you're leaving their confused and you
- 1:11:27Speaker 4: just don't know how to navigate through this. And then
- 1:11:31Speaker 4: all of this, obviously has been a built up from
- 1:11:33Speaker 4: the first scene bring up, your estranged relationship with your
- 1:11:39Speaker 4: daughter's father, and then everything just sort of like piled up,
- 1:11:43Speaker 4: piled up, piled up, and you probably felt like you
- 1:11:45Speaker 4: were in the twilight zone. I was.
- 1:11:47Speaker 3: I was spiraling now, mind you, I'm nine months postpartum
- 1:11:51Speaker 3: at this point, I'm going through postpartum depression. I'm dealing.
- 1:11:53Speaker 3: I had so much on me and that does in
- 1:11:56Speaker 3: no way excuse my behavior. But I'm hoping that that
- 1:12:00Speaker 3: this interview will help people better understand where my mindset was.
- 1:12:05Speaker 3: It didn't just happen overnight. We're filming over the course
- 1:12:09Speaker 3: of several months, through the holidays and everything else, and
- 1:12:13Speaker 3: at every turn you're taking the opportunity to play in
- 1:12:16Speaker 3: my face. And never once off camera did you come
- 1:12:19Speaker 3: to me and just say, you know what, I was
- 1:12:20Speaker 3: dead wrong, like I apologize, I'm gonna do better going forward. Never,
- 1:12:23Speaker 3: not once did she ever tell you like girl that's
- 1:12:25Speaker 3: TV show. No, Brandy the only one that told me that.
- 1:12:30Speaker 3: So it was very hard for me to accept. And
- 1:12:34Speaker 3: I think that when I finally get to Hawaii and
- 1:12:36Speaker 3: I'm coming in on ten and I'm asking her, did
- 1:12:39Speaker 3: you call me impressionable? That came from Vegas? The whole
- 1:12:43Speaker 3: cast and production. Everybody else is staying in the same house.
- 1:12:47Speaker 3: When these cameras are not rolling, there are a lot
- 1:12:49Speaker 3: of conversations that happen off camera. You guys are all
- 1:12:53Speaker 3: conjoined in here in this living room talking about these scenarios,
- 1:12:56Speaker 3: and you're telling this group of women who don't know
- 1:12:59Speaker 3: me and these produce well, yeah, you know, because Shanny,
- 1:13:01Speaker 3: she's very impressionable, and so you just gotta, you know,
- 1:13:04Speaker 3: kind of just keep an eye out, basically hold on out.
- 1:13:10Speaker 3: Of all of your kids, you know that I'm the
- 1:13:12Speaker 3: least impressionable. You're saying things that you know are going
- 1:13:16Speaker 3: to send me off. And if that was you wearing
- 1:13:19Speaker 3: your producer hat and hoping to get good TV.
- 1:13:25Speaker 4: Here we are when your mom kept leaving seen by
- 1:13:29Speaker 4: seeing by seeing by scenes off. No, I don't know.
- 1:13:33Speaker 4: I'm just I'm asking because again, even on my recap,
- 1:13:37Speaker 4: and I'm glad you watched it, I kept saying, I'm
- 1:13:40Speaker 4: only going to base this recap off of what you
- 1:13:44Speaker 4: say what I saw, because I the beauty of my
- 1:13:48Speaker 4: podcast is I am a producer and I know that
- 1:13:51Speaker 4: you can't show everything. So I kept saying what I'm
- 1:13:54Speaker 4: seeing with Jackie is every time the conversation is about
- 1:13:58Speaker 4: her daughter, she walks up to leave.
- 1:14:03Speaker 2: Was that just to play the audience, you think?
- 1:14:05Speaker 3: Or one thousand percent? And that's why when I released
- 1:14:08Speaker 3: my statement, I said, this was a masterclass in narcissism.
- 1:14:11Speaker 3: You are dealing with someone who has been doing this
- 1:14:13Speaker 3: for the past decade. She is very good at her job.
- 1:14:17Speaker 3: That's why so many people love her. I don't take
- 1:14:20Speaker 3: that away from her. You are a mega reality star
- 1:14:22Speaker 3: in every shape and fashion you are when you think
- 1:14:27Speaker 3: of basketball wives, you think of Jackie Christy. I will
- 1:14:29Speaker 3: never take that away from her. But because you have
- 1:14:32Speaker 3: been doing this long enough, I know that you know
- 1:14:34Speaker 3: what you're doing. On top of the fact, you're taking
- 1:14:37Speaker 3: a page out of my book in the previous seasons
- 1:14:39Speaker 3: that I haven't been on, and you're calling me after
- 1:14:42Speaker 3: the fact, I'm giving you this advice, Mom, if you
- 1:14:44Speaker 3: just get up and walk away from there, they'll just
- 1:14:46Speaker 3: be sitting there screaming in an empty room. Just get
- 1:14:48Speaker 3: up and walk away from the table. And now you're
- 1:14:50Speaker 3: gonna wait till I get on here and use my
- 1:14:52Speaker 3: advice against me. Oh, Carlos, I was spiraling. I'm not
- 1:14:57Speaker 3: even gonna hold you watching that back, I'm like, girl,
- 1:14:59Speaker 3: you was melting down. You was just you were just
- 1:15:02Speaker 3: I was just losing it because I just couldn't believe,
- 1:15:05Speaker 3: like you really gonna get on here and play, and
- 1:15:07Speaker 3: out of all of the years, you never get up
- 1:15:09Speaker 3: and walk away. Everybody knows you are willing to engage.
- 1:15:12Speaker 3: You're gonna throw French fries, drinks, whatever, You're gonna sit
- 1:15:15Speaker 3: here and do this back and forth all day. But
- 1:15:18Speaker 3: now that you know, wait a minute, I got to
- 1:15:20Speaker 3: write where I want her. She's so mad, she ain't
- 1:15:21Speaker 3: gonna be able to articulate herself. She's gonna be sitting
- 1:15:23Speaker 3: here spot. I'm just gonna get up and walk out.
- 1:15:27Speaker 4: I took that as I'm not gonna give the audience
- 1:15:30Speaker 4: a moment between me and my daughter. Okay, well that's
- 1:15:34Speaker 4: so you're saying that that was because that's how we
- 1:15:36Speaker 4: all took it. We all took it that she is
- 1:15:39Speaker 4: walking away from the audience seeing.
- 1:15:42Speaker 2: A dispute between mother and daughter. That's how we took it.
- 1:15:45Speaker 3: If in your heart you really do believe that, why
- 1:15:49Speaker 3: do you keep coming back to film? If you know
- 1:15:50Speaker 3: that I'm gonna be here and you know that this
- 1:15:52Speaker 3: is gonna be the topic. If you really felt like,
- 1:15:55Speaker 3: I'm not engaging in this in any way, shape, fashion,
- 1:15:58Speaker 3: or form. I'm not gonna discuss me and my child
- 1:16:00Speaker 3: and so on and so forth, why do you continue
- 1:16:04Speaker 3: to engage? Why do you continue to come and show up?
- 1:16:09Speaker 3: Never once did you say, if Shanny's gonna be there,
- 1:16:11Speaker 3: I'm not going to be there. If this is going
- 1:16:13Speaker 3: to be the topic of discussion, I'm not filming. You
- 1:16:15Speaker 3: can pull your trump card. You can be that one.
- 1:16:18Speaker 3: You have earned that position on this show to be
- 1:16:21Speaker 3: able to call the shots and kind of say how
- 1:16:23Speaker 3: you want things to go. Now. You may not be
- 1:16:25Speaker 3: executive producer, but you are Jackie Christie. You showing up
- 1:16:30Speaker 3: just like I'm showing up. But I'm the one that
- 1:16:33Speaker 3: looks crazy because you get me right to that point
- 1:16:36Speaker 3: where I start to ask the very logical questions and
- 1:16:38Speaker 3: you know where I'm going with this. Did you call
- 1:16:40Speaker 3: me impressionable when we were in Vegas? Was you talking
- 1:16:44Speaker 3: about Brandy? She knows I'm a very logical person. I'm
- 1:16:48Speaker 3: going to ask, and I know everybody was eating me
- 1:16:50Speaker 3: up because I used rhetorical wrong. I did, I did.
- 1:16:55Speaker 3: I definitely did watch it back I said, well, I
- 1:16:57Speaker 3: didn't go to college, so.
- 1:17:00Speaker 1: I got that ate me up.
- 1:17:02Speaker 3: Okay, I'm sorry, I need to do better next time.
- 1:17:07Speaker 3: But the point is that because you know that you've
- 1:17:11Speaker 3: got me to this point of like's not she knows
- 1:17:16Speaker 3: me in a lot of ways, right, you know that
- 1:17:19Speaker 3: I'm not going to be able to properly articulate myself
- 1:17:23Speaker 3: because now I'm mad. Now I'm not worried about story.
- 1:17:26Speaker 3: I'm not worried about buttoning this up. I'm not worried
- 1:17:30Speaker 3: about explaining it to the viewers. Now I'm just looking
- 1:17:32Speaker 3: at you, mother to daughter, like, are you serious? Right now?
- 1:17:36Speaker 2: I now have a greater understanding of all of this.
- 1:17:42Speaker 2: I don't know why all of.
- 1:17:44Speaker 4: A sudden this hit me too, which is strange, but
- 1:17:48Speaker 4: it just has your mother, your birth mom.
- 1:17:52Speaker 2: This is your mother where you two have had a
- 1:17:55Speaker 2: very complicated relationship.
- 1:17:57Speaker 4: You're now on a shove where your mother, as you
- 1:18:00Speaker 4: have admitted, your mother is the Lesiondary one of the
- 1:18:04Speaker 4: greatest reality stars of all time. Because to be a
- 1:18:08Speaker 4: reality star icon there is a certain level of experience
- 1:18:15Speaker 4: where you're able to know cameras on move a certain way.
- 1:18:18Speaker 2: And I now understand that I have no idea whatever.
- 1:18:22Speaker 4: Feel like if a daughter comes on her mother's platform
- 1:18:26Speaker 4: that she has excelled at from day one, and you're in, yes.
- 1:18:31Speaker 2: I played here and there.
- 1:18:32Speaker 4: Of the seasons we did that, boom boom, But this
- 1:18:35Speaker 4: is a full time job.
- 1:18:36Speaker 2: You asked me to do it. I'm trying to like
- 1:18:39Speaker 2: have a real moment.
- 1:18:40Speaker 4: With you, and I now understand why you felt like
- 1:18:43Speaker 4: at that time, I'm being played. And when your mother
- 1:18:48Speaker 4: is sitting down and she's like trying to talk to you,
- 1:18:53Speaker 4: I now understand that for you, right or wrong. I'm
- 1:18:55Speaker 4: not here judging you or your mom, but I now
- 1:18:58Speaker 4: understand as you're sitting down wanting to have a real
- 1:19:02Speaker 4: conversation with your mother, your mother getting up was away
- 1:19:09Speaker 4: in your mind at that time.
- 1:19:13Speaker 2: You're playing in my face and you know this is
- 1:19:16Speaker 2: going to get me to.
- 1:19:17Speaker 3: React, and you know that this is going to send
- 1:19:20Speaker 3: me off. You are literally And the thing is that
- 1:19:24Speaker 3: this She didn't get up and walk away one time,
- 1:19:26Speaker 3: This was multiple times repeatedly in Hawaii. Now off camera
- 1:19:30Speaker 3: and on camera, all of the castmates are saying the
- 1:19:32Speaker 3: same thing. That's messed up. As a mother, I wouldn't
- 1:19:35Speaker 3: do that before any fight happened. You guys are acknowledging
- 1:19:38Speaker 3: in real time what is wrong with this that you
- 1:19:41Speaker 3: you don't want to be held accountable or you don't
- 1:19:44Speaker 3: want to have real conversations, so you're choosing to get
- 1:19:46Speaker 3: up and walk away. Before I got to the point
- 1:19:48Speaker 3: of speaking to her so disrespectfully on that last night
- 1:19:51Speaker 3: in Hawaii, I was actually very calm. I know it
- 1:19:55Speaker 3: may not translate that way on camera. It may be
- 1:19:57Speaker 3: sliced different. I approach these conversations very calmly. I started
- 1:20:02Speaker 3: asking very logical questions because I'm just trying to understand
- 1:20:08Speaker 3: why are you doing this? You have all of these
- 1:20:11Speaker 3: women sitting here at this table that you could play
- 1:20:13Speaker 3: this game with. Why are you doing this with me?
- 1:20:16Speaker 3: And do you understand how far this can really go?
- 1:20:19Speaker 3: Maybe in her mind she thought this is best case scenario.
- 1:20:22Speaker 3: Me and my daughter can go back and forth. We
- 1:20:23Speaker 3: can have our little stat and it's never going to
- 1:20:25Speaker 3: go further than that, not at thirty two, not as
- 1:20:31Speaker 3: a wife and a mother.
- 1:20:32Speaker 4: Of my own, but also not with and I'm gonna
- 1:20:37Speaker 4: say this also, not with the built up, unhealed aggression
- 1:20:43Speaker 4: that you have. And I think that's the missing piece
- 1:20:45Speaker 4: of everything what I want. And again, I'm not here
- 1:20:48Speaker 4: to defend you to the picture, mom. I'm here to
- 1:20:49Speaker 4: have a real conversation and really extract what you're given
- 1:20:52Speaker 4: to me because I now see things very differently. I
- 1:20:55Speaker 4: now understand as an unhealed woman, Yes, who's on a show?
- 1:21:00Speaker 2: Your mother? Who is the face of that shell? To me?
- 1:21:04Speaker 2: Who plays that game perfectly? Your mother's a legend in
- 1:21:09Speaker 2: the game. Yeah, she's amazing.
- 1:21:11Speaker 4: I now understand how an unhealed daughter can recognize that
- 1:21:16Speaker 4: and feel confused.
- 1:21:17Speaker 2: And now as we.
- 1:21:18Speaker 4: Were in Hawaii and you guys are in your mother's
- 1:21:22Speaker 4: hotel room. When you walked into that room, Chantelle, what
- 1:21:27Speaker 4: was your sole intention that you wanted to get.
- 1:21:31Speaker 2: Out of that conversation with your mother.
- 1:21:34Speaker 3: I didn't go in there really with any intention. You
- 1:21:38Speaker 3: have to understand that the confrontation that happened in the
- 1:21:41Speaker 3: hotel room came right after sitting down on the terrace
- 1:21:45Speaker 3: and I had on the black suit. And she walked
- 1:21:46Speaker 3: away and said, you know, when the when the teacher
- 1:21:48Speaker 3: is ready or whatever, the student will appear, whatever it is.
- 1:21:50Speaker 3: And she said, I know she was. She was reading
- 1:21:53Speaker 3: that before she walked in that scene because she wanted
- 1:21:55Speaker 3: to come across very poised and like in exactly how
- 1:22:02Speaker 3: she came across. You understand what I'm saying. I know
- 1:22:05Speaker 3: that this was prepared in her mind. So when I
- 1:22:08Speaker 3: went up to the room, I'm like, girl, what you
- 1:22:09Speaker 3: got for me today? Like I've already mentally checked out
- 1:22:12Speaker 3: in my mind because you're playing. You don't want you
- 1:22:15Speaker 3: called me up here to literally play into whatever narrative
- 1:22:19Speaker 3: it is that you want these viewers to go with
- 1:22:21Speaker 3: and send me on my way. We're not gonna get
- 1:22:23Speaker 3: to any real resolution here. We're not gonna get to
- 1:22:26Speaker 3: the nitty gritty of how we got to that point
- 1:22:28Speaker 3: this season. So when she's asked me, well, baby, what
- 1:22:31Speaker 3: is it and everything that you and Destin were saying?
- 1:22:33Speaker 3: You're not asking me because you really want to know,
- 1:22:36Speaker 3: you know what happened you were here. I'm not talking
- 1:22:38Speaker 3: about my childhood. I'm talking about right now on this
- 1:22:41Speaker 3: season today. Well, we weren't cool before this. I don't know,
- 1:22:48Speaker 3: you tell me were we called before this? Because if
- 1:22:50Speaker 3: we were so cool, why would you do that to me?
- 1:22:54Speaker 3: It's not adding up And now I am spiraling. Now
- 1:22:57Speaker 3: I do feel crazy. Now, I do feel all of
- 1:22:59Speaker 3: these things because what.
- 1:23:03Speaker 4: No, So when she said get up and leave, and
- 1:23:07Speaker 4: that's a much better exit.
- 1:23:11Speaker 3: Again, you're in your producer role. You don't care that
- 1:23:14Speaker 3: I'm your daughter. You don't care that I'm really for
- 1:23:16Speaker 3: real upset in real life. You don't care all of
- 1:23:18Speaker 3: the things that you've done to me leading up to this.
- 1:23:20Speaker 3: Now you're sitting here and you're producing this scene. That's
- 1:23:23Speaker 3: a much better exit. M M okay, sweetie, Like, yeah,
- 1:23:26Speaker 3: I am saying things to her, but do you not
- 1:23:28Speaker 3: realize that she's saying things back like ming said out
- 1:23:32Speaker 3: of her own mouth, Jackie cannot be bullied. I was
- 1:23:35Speaker 3: not bullying her. I treated her in a way that
- 1:23:39Speaker 3: watching it as as a daughter, I shouldn't correct. I
- 1:23:42Speaker 3: understand that. But this person is not innocent. She's not
- 1:23:47Speaker 3: sitting here like this meek mother. That's like, why would
- 1:23:49Speaker 3: you do this to me? Why are you treating me
- 1:23:50Speaker 3: like this? You playing in my face like I'm a
- 1:23:52Speaker 3: stranger in the streets. So I'm treating you the same way.
- 1:23:57Speaker 3: Why do I have to treat you? Why do I
- 1:23:59Speaker 3: have to parent the parent? Why do I have to
- 1:24:01Speaker 3: treat you with more respect than you give me? I
- 1:24:05Speaker 3: understand now, through months of healing and therapy and all
- 1:24:09Speaker 3: these things that I have a burden to be better.
- 1:24:13Speaker 3: I understand that now, But in that moment, oh lady,
- 1:24:19Speaker 3: oh my god, I just that was just a really
- 1:24:23Speaker 3: that was a really heavy night for me. That was
- 1:24:24Speaker 3: a really dark time. And I know that I didn't
- 1:24:29Speaker 3: come to that place out of nowhere, and I didn't
- 1:24:32Speaker 3: go into that scene. I didn't even come onto this
- 1:24:34Speaker 3: season with the intent to embarrass Jackie, to trick her
- 1:24:37Speaker 3: out or spot all these things that people are saying.
- 1:24:40Speaker 3: That was never my intention.
- 1:24:41Speaker 2: Calling her Jackie. That's y'all thing, Yes, okay.
- 1:24:44Speaker 3: Which is why I'm like, now, mind you, y'all want
- 1:24:46Speaker 3: to pick and choose me and get on live. And
- 1:24:49Speaker 3: she call her mom VICKI and don't nobody blink twice.
- 1:24:52Speaker 3: But when I called Jackie Jackie, No, I call Jackie Jackie.
- 1:24:55Speaker 3: At Christmas time, I called this just that's just our like,
- 1:24:59Speaker 3: it's that's all child. Yes, it's never been in a
- 1:25:03Speaker 3: disrespectful way. I understand watching that. It's like, oh, she
- 1:25:06Speaker 3: was yellinger and she called her Jackie. I answered the
- 1:25:11Speaker 3: phone when we on good term, Jackie, what is it now,
- 1:25:13Speaker 3: Like that's just our Okay, I want to.
- 1:25:16Speaker 4: I'm my girl, Okay, so obviously listen when I when
- 1:25:20Speaker 4: I saw the moment of you and your mother's altercation,
- 1:25:25Speaker 4: and I'm being very honest with you, and I even
- 1:25:26Speaker 4: said this on my recap, I felt awful. I felt
- 1:25:33Speaker 4: awful as a viewer watching that because it was something like,
- 1:25:35Speaker 4: I don't want to see this. I don't want to
- 1:25:37Speaker 4: see this. I felt that way as a viewer in
- 1:25:44Speaker 4: that moment. Of course, people are saying, Chantelle, you deserve it.
- 1:25:50Speaker 4: You pushed your mother, and people are missaying, Shantail, your
- 1:25:55Speaker 4: mother should have done worse to you when that happened,
- 1:25:59Speaker 4: when you're mother, and I want to, I want did
- 1:26:02Speaker 4: she make contact with you?
- 1:26:04Speaker 3: She didn't. She pushed me into the camera like she
- 1:26:07Speaker 3: bawled up her fists and kind of tried to like
- 1:26:09Speaker 3: she was aiming for my head. But because I ducked
- 1:26:12Speaker 3: out the way I fell into the camera, man, that's
- 1:26:15Speaker 3: how the finger ended up bleeding. Like it wasn't. There
- 1:26:18Speaker 3: was no real contact that was made other than her
- 1:26:22Speaker 3: pushing me into the camera. Her intention was to probably
- 1:26:25Speaker 3: sack me in between the washer and dryer or whatever
- 1:26:27Speaker 3: day on here to stand. But that's not the way
- 1:26:29Speaker 3: that that happened. It didn't land I wasn't as you
- 1:26:32Speaker 3: see in the next scene, like nothing, it didn't happen.
- 1:26:36Speaker 2: Then why did you go back and tell the girl
- 1:26:38Speaker 2: she hit you?
- 1:26:39Speaker 3: I think that for me, and what I want people
- 1:26:41Speaker 3: to understand is I can see how it looks like
- 1:26:44Speaker 3: I was a liar when I left that scene and
- 1:26:47Speaker 3: I went back down there and I explained to the
- 1:26:48Speaker 3: women what happened. This is fifteen twenty minutes after this
- 1:26:53Speaker 3: altercation with my mom. Now, should I have left that
- 1:26:57Speaker 3: room and went to my own Absolutely, that should have
- 1:27:00Speaker 3: been the end of it. Right. But as a producer,
- 1:27:03Speaker 3: I think you can understand sometimes when you're in the
- 1:27:05Speaker 3: moment and you're we're filming this show with you got
- 1:27:08Speaker 3: the mic on, like you're trying to kind of complete
- 1:27:11Speaker 3: this story, if that makes sense.
- 1:27:13Speaker 2: No, with us, listen, things get cloudy and and again,
- 1:27:16Speaker 2: I'm just being real.
- 1:27:17Speaker 4: And that's why it's the beauty of this podcast, because
- 1:27:19Speaker 4: I am a producer. Anytime a big altercation happened on
- 1:27:22Speaker 4: any of my shows, right, what I need y'all to
- 1:27:25Speaker 4: understand is cast member called to ask for a play
- 1:27:28Speaker 4: by play because things happen so fast that you don't
- 1:27:32Speaker 4: remember things, and sometimes you just it happened so fast.
- 1:27:35Speaker 4: So I will say this, and I'm not making no excuses.
- 1:27:38Speaker 4: As a producer from Pillow Talk on Land of Housewives,
- 1:27:42Speaker 4: all the girls called me and said what happened? To
- 1:27:45Speaker 4: love and to hip hop? They all call me be like, now,
- 1:27:48Speaker 4: what really went down?
- 1:27:49Speaker 2: Because it is cloudy? So I will say that does
- 1:27:52Speaker 2: happen yet?
- 1:27:53Speaker 4: So at that moment, did you feel like when you
- 1:27:56Speaker 4: walk back and told them she hit me? Is because
- 1:27:58Speaker 4: you thought she hit you? Or did did the memory
- 1:28:01Speaker 4: of the she didn't make contact with you?
- 1:28:05Speaker 3: Like?
- 1:28:05Speaker 2: What was?
- 1:28:06Speaker 3: I think it was all very blurry for me, And
- 1:28:08Speaker 3: I think that I led with she swung on me, yes,
- 1:28:12Speaker 3: I And I think that that it morphed into she
- 1:28:16Speaker 3: really put her hands on me because I was just
- 1:28:18Speaker 3: I was just in disbelief that you really balled up
- 1:28:21Speaker 3: your fists and tried to aim for my head like
- 1:28:24Speaker 3: I was a stranger in the streets simply because I
- 1:28:26Speaker 3: pushed you off of me. And I feel like that's
- 1:28:28Speaker 3: what the viewers are. They're being wilfully ignorant in this way.
- 1:28:33Speaker 3: You put your hand on my elbow knowing that I'm upset,
- 1:28:36Speaker 3: whether you were trying to usher me out the room
- 1:28:38Speaker 3: or not, whether I should have left out the door
- 1:28:40Speaker 3: or not. As my mother, you know that I'm upset.
- 1:28:44Speaker 3: You know that touching me is going to send me off.
- 1:28:49Speaker 3: You're trying to not sun me, but you're trying to
- 1:28:52Speaker 3: come on, let's get Do you get what I'm saying?
- 1:28:54Speaker 3: And because I've already made up at my mind that
- 1:28:56Speaker 3: this is the game that you're playing, and this is
- 1:28:59Speaker 3: the narrative that you're going with, like don't like watch out,
- 1:29:02Speaker 3: don't do that? You get what I'm saying. I see
- 1:29:04Speaker 3: now how that push looks like, well, girl, you started
- 1:29:07Speaker 3: in and you deserve everything that was coming to you.
- 1:29:09Speaker 3: That is not how I felt in that moment, and
- 1:29:10Speaker 3: that's still not how I feel today. Should I have
- 1:29:13Speaker 3: pushed her, Absolutely not. I will never I don't want
- 1:29:16Speaker 3: my kids to put their hands on me. I do
- 1:29:19Speaker 3: I want my kids to treat me that way?
- 1:29:21Speaker 2: No?
- 1:29:22Speaker 3: But will I do to my kids what my mom
- 1:29:24Speaker 3: has done to me?
- 1:29:25Speaker 2: No?
- 1:29:26Speaker 3: So I guess we'll never know. But I know that
- 1:29:29Speaker 3: in that moment, I felt like, don't touch me, like
- 1:29:33Speaker 3: you hear me say, don't touch me now, whether or
- 1:29:35Speaker 3: not y'all want to acknowledge that her hand was on
- 1:29:37Speaker 3: my elbow, whether or not you want to acknowledge that
- 1:29:40Speaker 3: I'm upset and I'm angry, and I'm just you can
- 1:29:43Speaker 3: see that I'm spirally. Never once did she say, you
- 1:29:45Speaker 3: know what, cut the cameras, this is enough. Nothing you're
- 1:29:48Speaker 3: playing into this too. Never once did you say all
- 1:29:52Speaker 3: bets are off, this is enough. We both could have
- 1:29:55Speaker 3: said that, and neither one of us did. I know
- 1:29:58Speaker 3: my reason for it, because in my mind, at this
- 1:30:01Speaker 3: big age, I'm finally standing up to this person that
- 1:30:04Speaker 3: I have all of this anger towards. I'm not backing down.
- 1:30:09Speaker 3: If that means that this has to be here on
- 1:30:11Speaker 3: this stage in front of all these people, I don't care,
- 1:30:12Speaker 3: because I know that I'm confronting this problem in my
- 1:30:17Speaker 3: life for once. But for you, who clearly you take
- 1:30:21Speaker 3: this as a game, you could have removed yourself from
- 1:30:24Speaker 3: this situation, you sitting here on the couch, scrolling on
- 1:30:28Speaker 3: your phone, waiting for the next showdown. But I'm the
- 1:30:34Speaker 3: problem because a lot of us, in specifically black households,
- 1:30:39Speaker 3: are raised to believe or are raised on the belief
- 1:30:44Speaker 3: do as I say not as I do. Have respect
- 1:30:47Speaker 3: for your parents at all times. It doesn't matter what
- 1:30:49Speaker 3: they say what they do. I think that there's a
- 1:30:52Speaker 3: new generation of kids and adults that are coming and
- 1:30:55Speaker 3: that are happening that are not going for that anymore.
- 1:31:00Speaker 3: I need to respect you because you're my parent, but
- 1:31:02Speaker 3: you have got to give me something to respect. Why
- 1:31:07Speaker 3: do I have to respect you just because of your
- 1:31:09Speaker 3: title mother, father, sister, brother, cousin, husband. It does I'm
- 1:31:15Speaker 3: not going to accept anybody else's toxic behavior simply because
- 1:31:20Speaker 3: of their title. I'm not doing it if that means
- 1:31:23Speaker 3: that I'm a messed up person. If that's how y'all
- 1:31:25Speaker 3: want to view me, I'll be okay. The sun will
- 1:31:30Speaker 3: rise tomorrow. I'm gonna get Up'm gonna take my kids
- 1:31:32Speaker 3: to school. I'm gonna make my husband like I'm gonna
- 1:31:34Speaker 3: go on about my life because I know my truth
- 1:31:36Speaker 3: and I know my intentions. If I had came on
- 1:31:38Speaker 3: here with the intent to embarrass her, to out her,
- 1:31:41Speaker 3: to talk down about her, et cetera, maybe I would
- 1:31:44Speaker 3: feel embarrassed or like, damn, like she really foiled my plans.
- 1:31:50Speaker 3: Everybody's saying, oh, you came on here with the intent
- 1:31:52Speaker 3: to embarrass your mom and you failed. I didn't fail.
- 1:31:56Speaker 3: I free myself.
- 1:32:00Speaker 2: They didn't fail.
- 1:32:01Speaker 3: This wasn't the goal. But I addressed a dragon in
- 1:32:05Speaker 3: my life, and I can walk away from the situation
- 1:32:08Speaker 3: knowing that I handled it the best I could. And
- 1:32:10Speaker 3: until you're in that situation, you cannot tell me how
- 1:32:13Speaker 3: to feel. You really can't. What people fail to realize,
- 1:32:20Speaker 3: and I shared this with some of the girl's off camera,
- 1:32:24Speaker 3: is that when I was twenty seven, I've always had
- 1:32:28Speaker 3: really bad migraines and headaches. I went to the doctor,
- 1:32:31Speaker 3: I got MRIs and all these scans and the neurologists
- 1:32:34Speaker 3: came back with you have an aneurysm on the right
- 1:32:37Speaker 3: side of your brain. This is something that obviously my
- 1:32:42Speaker 3: parents are aware of. I've told all of my close
- 1:32:45Speaker 3: loved ones, like, you know, if something ever happens to me,
- 1:32:47Speaker 3: like it could be that you just never know. Like
- 1:32:50Speaker 3: so for me one, we know that I've tried for
- 1:32:55Speaker 3: the last five years to live a very stress free life.
- 1:32:59Speaker 3: That's why I was out there the way. So why
- 1:33:01Speaker 3: wasn't in nobody's blogs. That's why I wasn't doing I
- 1:33:03Speaker 3: was just out the way, living a very peaceful life.
- 1:33:06Speaker 3: You brought me here, you stress me to the point
- 1:33:11Speaker 3: of disbelief, and then you aim for my head. Yeah,
- 1:33:21Speaker 3: I'm not gonna wear what they're putting on me. I'm
- 1:33:24Speaker 3: not gonna do that, Carlos. I'm not. If that means
- 1:33:26Speaker 3: that they feel like I'm not taking accountability or whatever,
- 1:33:31Speaker 3: that's okay with me. I take accountability for where I
- 1:33:33Speaker 3: went wrong. Maybe I never should have gone up to
- 1:33:35Speaker 3: the room when she asked for the conversation. Undoubtedly I
- 1:33:39Speaker 3: should have walked out the door when I was standing
- 1:33:41Speaker 3: at it. I understand that. But nobody can tell me
- 1:33:46Speaker 3: how to handle pain that they have not experienced. It
- 1:33:50Speaker 3: is a different, triggering, crazy circumstance to be in. When
- 1:33:58Speaker 3: you're in it, it's so easy to sit there, turn
- 1:34:02Speaker 3: on a TV every Monday. Oh, she's so disrespectful to
- 1:34:05Speaker 3: her mom. Oh how is she acting like this? Why
- 1:34:07Speaker 3: is she acting like this when you don't know the backstory,
- 1:34:09Speaker 3: when you already have in your mind that this is
- 1:34:11Speaker 3: the fan favorite that we riding with Jackie, right or wrong.
- 1:34:14Speaker 3: I see all of these comments that say, but that's
- 1:34:16Speaker 3: still your mother. So let her do anything she wants
- 1:34:27Speaker 3: to me. Let her bring up things that she promised
- 1:34:29Speaker 3: she wouldn't. Let her try to get some random guy
- 1:34:32Speaker 3: that I've never even met to bring some tea about
- 1:34:35Speaker 3: me to this show, let her talk about grandparents, writes,
- 1:34:38Speaker 3: When she knows that I'm in the middle of this case,
- 1:34:43Speaker 3: at what point do you say?
- 1:34:44Speaker 2: You know what?
- 1:34:45Speaker 3: Enough is enough? Now? The difference is everybody is telling me, well,
- 1:34:50Speaker 3: you should have just walked away.
- 1:34:52Speaker 2: Duh.
- 1:34:54Speaker 3: I know that, But this was a very real situation
- 1:34:59Speaker 3: that y'all watched lay out. This was not made for TV.
- 1:35:01Speaker 3: This was not something that I did for a check.
- 1:35:04Speaker 3: She did for a check. I don't even think she
- 1:35:07Speaker 3: knew that that was gonna happen like that. I think
- 1:35:09Speaker 3: in her mind she thought, maybe she'll just remove herself
- 1:35:15Speaker 3: from this in general, that's what she told the producers
- 1:35:17Speaker 3: at Vegas. I don't even think that she's gonna continue
- 1:35:19Speaker 3: with this show because she knows. I don't get down
- 1:35:21Speaker 3: like this. I don't play these games. I'm not at
- 1:35:23Speaker 3: that place in my life. Even if at one point
- 1:35:25Speaker 3: I was messy, even if at one point I came
- 1:35:27Speaker 3: on and talked to Lauria, even if at one point
- 1:35:29Speaker 3: I had my drama Withdrea, I'm not at that space
- 1:35:32Speaker 3: in my life anymore. So, why are you pushing me
- 1:35:36Speaker 3: to this point? And now you light this fire and
- 1:35:40Speaker 3: then you walk away and you leave me standing here
- 1:35:44Speaker 3: holding the matches.
- 1:35:48Speaker 2: Have you and your mother spoken since that night? No?
- 1:35:52Speaker 2: And how long ago did that incident happen?
- 1:35:57Speaker 3: Probably about seven months, six or seven.
- 1:36:00Speaker 2: You haven't spunk to your mother in seven months. Your
- 1:36:04Speaker 2: mother's birthday was past weekend. Did you reach out? Did
- 1:36:08Speaker 2: you reach child? Has she reached out to you?
- 1:36:15Speaker 6: No?
- 1:36:15Speaker 3: She has mentioned through way of my brother when all
- 1:36:19Speaker 3: of this happened, she basically asked him, you know, does
- 1:36:24Speaker 3: she want me to come out and make a statement?
- 1:36:26Speaker 2: And I when the show after the episode air.
- 1:36:29Speaker 3: After the episode aired, she sent word through my brother.
- 1:36:32Speaker 3: Does she want me to come out and basically stand
- 1:36:35Speaker 3: up for her? Like I see that everybody's bullying her
- 1:36:37Speaker 3: and so on and so forth. Does she want me
- 1:36:39Speaker 3: to say something? And I said, no, one, if that's
- 1:36:42Speaker 3: not at the top of your mind, you shouldn't have
- 1:36:44Speaker 3: to ask for permission to do that. If you see
- 1:36:46Speaker 3: that people are wishing death on me and my family,
- 1:36:49Speaker 3: and they're talking about the way my son looks, and
- 1:36:51Speaker 3: they hope that my daughter's dad wins custody and all
- 1:36:53Speaker 3: of this wild stuff. And you see this in real time,
- 1:36:57Speaker 3: and you yourself have been in my shoes this first
- 1:37:00Speaker 3: several seasons. People called you an instigator, messy, all of
- 1:37:03Speaker 3: these things. You've been there, so you know how this feels.
- 1:37:06Speaker 3: And now this is a very real situation with this
- 1:37:10Speaker 3: this mother daughter wound that is literally gaping open, and
- 1:37:16Speaker 3: in your mind, you no, you don't have to speak
- 1:37:20Speaker 3: on my behalf. I can speak on my behalf because
- 1:37:22Speaker 3: even if you did come out and say something, it's
- 1:37:24Speaker 3: not going to be the truth. You're not gonna take
- 1:37:26Speaker 3: accountability for what happened. You're not going to acknowledge that
- 1:37:29Speaker 3: you push me to this point. You're not gonna say
- 1:37:32Speaker 3: that my anger was justified. Maybe my actions weren't, but
- 1:37:36Speaker 3: my anger was. You're not gonna acknowledge that. You're gonna
- 1:37:40Speaker 3: leave me standing out here holding a bag looking like
- 1:37:44Speaker 3: this terrible, disrespectful, horrible daughter.
- 1:37:50Speaker 2: And that's okay. How does your father feel about what happened?
- 1:37:59Speaker 3: I think that he is trying to prossess some very
- 1:38:07Speaker 3: heavy feelings. I think that he is at a point
- 1:38:10Speaker 3: in his life where all of these great things are happening.
- 1:38:14Speaker 3: You know, he has this new opportunity as a head coach,
- 1:38:17Speaker 3: and so any conversations that I have had with him
- 1:38:23Speaker 3: have really just been him keeping me encouraged and telling
- 1:38:27Speaker 3: me that you know, I know your heart, like I
- 1:38:29Speaker 3: know that you're not this person that people are making
- 1:38:32Speaker 3: you out to be. I know that this was a
- 1:38:35Speaker 3: long time coming. When I talked to him after the
- 1:38:37Speaker 3: Hawaii thing happened, I said, Dad, you know our dynamic.
- 1:38:40Speaker 3: You know that this is not I didn't get on
- 1:38:42Speaker 3: here with the intent to do this. And so I
- 1:38:45Speaker 3: think that having his understanding and knowing that he knows
- 1:38:49Speaker 3: our history is very reassuring. And I think that what
- 1:38:57Speaker 3: people get misconstrued, and I've seen all sorts to sick
- 1:39:01Speaker 3: comments like I'm such and such from ease by you
- 1:39:03Speaker 3: and I want my dad and all of this, and
- 1:39:04Speaker 3: that what they fail to realize is that he has
- 1:39:08Speaker 3: been my protector in times that I needed one. He
- 1:39:12Speaker 3: has been that source of relief when things in the
- 1:39:17Speaker 3: house are too heavy or whatever. He will remove me
- 1:39:20Speaker 3: from the situation before I get to the point of
- 1:39:22Speaker 3: disrespecting her. You understand what I'm saying. So I look
- 1:39:26Speaker 3: to him anything that comes to her. I'm going to
- 1:39:30Speaker 3: my dad about it, period, because you know what it
- 1:39:33Speaker 3: is that I'm dealing with, and I feel like if
- 1:39:34Speaker 3: nobody else can get you together.
- 1:39:39Speaker 2: I now get it.
- 1:39:41Speaker 4: Every time you would bring up doug and you would
- 1:39:45Speaker 4: some calling my father, you feel like your father is
- 1:39:51Speaker 4: the only one who understands Jackie Christy.
- 1:39:55Speaker 2: And is the only one that can that can check her.
- 1:39:58Speaker 4: Yes, Yes, absolutely so that because because I think in
- 1:40:02Speaker 4: your mind you feel like my mother has full.
- 1:40:05Speaker 2: The world and has audience and I can. But this
- 1:40:10Speaker 2: man not only.
- 1:40:11Speaker 4: Can hold you accountable, he knows that what I'm saying
- 1:40:14Speaker 4: is the gospel. That he knows who he's married to.
- 1:40:16Speaker 4: And that's the reason why you kept bringing your father's name.
- 1:40:19Speaker 4: A lot of people And listen, you don't have to
- 1:40:20Speaker 4: answer this. If you don't want to, you can tell
- 1:40:22Speaker 4: me that's whatever. A lot of people were not happy
- 1:40:26Speaker 4: with you as well when you did say that's why
- 1:40:29Speaker 4: that's why Dougie's leaving you.
- 1:40:31Speaker 2: Would you like to address that.
- 1:40:35Speaker 3: What I can say about that is it's not my
- 1:40:40Speaker 3: place to speak on anybody else's marriage. It was very,
- 1:40:44Speaker 3: like I said, tacky and tasteless and was clearly just
- 1:40:50Speaker 3: when I watch myself say that. I'm like, girl, now
- 1:40:53Speaker 3: you know that you didn't have to take it to him.
- 1:40:56Speaker 3: You did not have to take it that far. That's
- 1:40:59Speaker 3: just not that's that is one regret that I do
- 1:41:02Speaker 3: have out of the entire season. That is the one
- 1:41:05Speaker 3: thing that I regret because I just I didn't have
- 1:41:08Speaker 3: to say that. I could have kept it right where
- 1:41:11Speaker 3: it was at. You get what I'm saying, Like, but
- 1:41:14Speaker 3: I'm spiraling like at this point now, I'm just.
- 1:41:17Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, you wanted to hurt her obviously. Yeah. Have
- 1:41:21Speaker 2: you heard from Sean O'Neil since the incident happened the episode?
- 1:41:25Speaker 2: Haven't heard.
- 1:41:26Speaker 3: We talked briefly right after the incident happened, just I
- 1:41:31Speaker 3: think like because it was such a big deal that
- 1:41:34Speaker 3: it was like now the higher ups step in and like,
- 1:41:38Speaker 3: you know, say something, communicate, But we haven't. We haven't
- 1:41:42Speaker 3: really talked since then. I've talked to all of the
- 1:41:46Speaker 3: different castmates at different times and points. I haven't talked
- 1:41:51Speaker 3: to anybody really since the fight aired, with the exception
- 1:41:57Speaker 3: of Jennifer and Brittany and Denise.
- 1:42:03Speaker 2: To check in on you.
- 1:42:05Speaker 3: Yeah, and what people don't understand about Brittany and Denise,
- 1:42:08Speaker 3: and I just want to put this on wax right
- 1:42:10Speaker 3: because I know everybody has got they got their their
- 1:42:14Speaker 3: think pieces and things.
- 1:42:15Speaker 2: Brittany de Niece, I'm just getting to know you. But
- 1:42:19Speaker 2: I love you, but I love Britney.
- 1:42:21Speaker 3: I think Brittany's hilarious.
- 1:42:23Speaker 2: But Brittany is a really But.
- 1:42:26Speaker 3: Here's what I want people to understand, right me, Brittany
- 1:42:31Speaker 3: and Denise formed real friendships and relationships outside of this
- 1:42:35Speaker 3: show while we were filming. We had so much in common,
- 1:42:39Speaker 3: Like my husband is planning for the Hornets, Brittany's child's
- 1:42:42Speaker 3: father played for the Hornets. You know what I'm saying,
- 1:42:45Speaker 3: Like we're talking about things in Charlotte. Denise at the time,
- 1:42:48Speaker 3: her daughter's uncle was my husband's teammate. You get what
- 1:42:51Speaker 3: I'm saying. Like we had a lot of similarities that
- 1:42:53Speaker 3: are out of everybody on this cast, we three can
- 1:42:56Speaker 3: relate the most because we have a husband or a
- 1:42:59Speaker 3: child's or whatever that are actively in the league right now.
- 1:43:03Speaker 3: We can relate to each other better than anybody else.
- 1:43:06Speaker 3: And then you throw the fact that we're all around
- 1:43:07Speaker 3: the same age, we have kids around the same There
- 1:43:10Speaker 3: were so many similarities that you just could not ignore.
- 1:43:14Speaker 3: So we're building these relationships outside of the show, just
- 1:43:19Speaker 3: on some cool like this is not for TV, this
- 1:43:22Speaker 3: is just keeping in communication. They checked on me consistently
- 1:43:26Speaker 3: and vice versa. Like there were so many instances where
- 1:43:29Speaker 3: throughout the season one or all three of us felt
- 1:43:32Speaker 3: like I just cannot go on, like I just can't
- 1:43:34Speaker 3: do this, I'm about to just drop out. And we
- 1:43:36Speaker 3: kept each other encouraged, We kept speaking life over each other.
- 1:43:40Speaker 3: And so I get that people feel like, well, you
- 1:43:43Speaker 3: just met her, and you did. Have you ever heard
- 1:43:45Speaker 3: the saying you could meet somebody, you could know somebody
- 1:43:49Speaker 3: for five minutes that does you better than somebody you've
- 1:43:52Speaker 3: known your whole life. So I get that people are
- 1:43:56Speaker 3: saying we're trauma bonding and we're no, this is just
- 1:43:59Speaker 3: somebody that.
- 1:43:59Speaker 2: Really I felt that way. I felt, I'm gonna tell
- 1:44:02Speaker 2: you honestly how I felt. Again, this is me watching
- 1:44:04Speaker 2: the show.
- 1:44:04Speaker 4: I did feel like Britney and you were trauma bonding
- 1:44:07Speaker 4: bits for your mother experience, and I felt like Britney
- 1:44:10Speaker 4: was dumping so much of her pain onto you.
- 1:44:14Speaker 2: And again, this is the way before.
- 1:44:15Speaker 4: Obviously we talked today and I get way more so
- 1:44:17Speaker 4: I regret saying that, but at the time I also
- 1:44:21Speaker 4: believe that it was trauma bonding because I just felt like,
- 1:44:24Speaker 4: that's between mother and daughter. Don't step into it. And look,
- 1:44:27Speaker 4: even today I do feel this way. I wasn't there.
- 1:44:30Speaker 2: I'm not filming with you guys, I have no idea
- 1:44:33Speaker 2: what's going on.
- 1:44:34Speaker 4: I will always feel like at the end of the day,
- 1:44:39Speaker 4: especially when it comes to mother daughter dynamics, I just
- 1:44:43Speaker 4: felt like it's so deeply rooted that Hona won't nobody
- 1:44:47Speaker 4: getting involved with that mess. And that's why I did
- 1:44:50Speaker 4: say that. So I'm going to admit to that, and that's
- 1:44:51Speaker 4: why I owe some real shit. I also was not
- 1:44:54Speaker 4: happy with Evelyn, who I love, but I was like, Evelyn,
- 1:44:57Speaker 4: we all know when it comes to your daughter, baby,
- 1:44:59Speaker 4: we can't say nothing nothing about her before you go off.
- 1:45:02Speaker 4: And although I'm now understanding now that Evelyn knew way
- 1:45:07Speaker 4: more than what was shown on the show, I still
- 1:45:10Speaker 4: today felt like Evelyn, being a mom, should have, in
- 1:45:15Speaker 4: my opinion, said I have to stand on the fact
- 1:45:20Speaker 4: that that's between y'all and I'm not gonna get myself
- 1:45:23Speaker 4: involved in it. And my apologies are to you too
- 1:45:28Speaker 4: for even me saying that I felt like you're bringing
- 1:45:31Speaker 4: a trauma bothering because now that I know more, you
- 1:45:35Speaker 4: guys weren't doing that.
- 1:45:36Speaker 3: Yeah, and I get it. People can only go off
- 1:45:39Speaker 3: of what they see on the show, right, But somewhere
- 1:45:43Speaker 3: along the way, we've gotten so far off path from
- 1:45:47Speaker 3: the real meat and bones of the situation to just
- 1:45:51Speaker 3: the death threats and all of the things that people
- 1:45:53Speaker 3: are saying. It's like, how do you get that from this? Like,
- 1:45:58Speaker 3: you're telling me how to handle somebody that I has
- 1:46:00Speaker 3: been in my life for thirty two years and you
- 1:46:02Speaker 3: don't know anything about me. You don't know what led
- 1:46:04Speaker 3: to this point. You don't you get what I'm saying.
- 1:46:06Speaker 3: So it's it's very hard to digest. And I think
- 1:46:09Speaker 3: that even on the subject of Evelyn, you know, they're like, oh,
- 1:46:13Speaker 3: you all have everyone's you want to be her friends
- 1:46:15Speaker 3: so bad? Look what she did to your mom. If
- 1:46:18Speaker 3: you watch this show. On one of the opening scenes,
- 1:46:21Speaker 3: it was Jackie and Evelyn. They was out baby shopping
- 1:46:24Speaker 3: and Jackie said, out of her own mouth, I want
- 1:46:25Speaker 3: you to get to know my daughter. I want you
- 1:46:27Speaker 3: to get to know Shanny. She's in town. But now
- 1:46:31Speaker 3: I'm wrong cause I talked to the lady and gave
- 1:46:33Speaker 3: her a conversation like, I just don't people are picking
- 1:46:36Speaker 3: and choosing what they see, and I get it that
- 1:46:39Speaker 3: that's reality TV and whatever, But somewhere along the way,
- 1:46:43Speaker 3: we've just veered so far off from the real in
- 1:46:48Speaker 3: reality TV, and everybody is so used to come sit
- 1:46:51Speaker 3: down and have a drink, let's talk about each other.
- 1:46:53Speaker 3: Da da da da. I would rather be on TV
- 1:46:58Speaker 3: dealing with the real situation, no matter how traumatic or
- 1:47:02Speaker 3: whatever that may have been with me and my mom.
- 1:47:04Speaker 3: I would rather that any day over me sitting here
- 1:47:07Speaker 3: arguing with random castmates that I just met about a
- 1:47:12Speaker 3: bag or a man or This was a real situation
- 1:47:16Speaker 3: and you may not like the way that I handled it,
- 1:47:18Speaker 3: but this is my real life and that's what we'll
- 1:47:22Speaker 3: live on.
- 1:47:23Speaker 2: Mainly.
- 1:47:25Speaker 4: Has since released a statement apologizing to Jackie, saying she
- 1:47:30Speaker 4: watched the footage as a mother with a daughter.
- 1:47:33Speaker 2: She regrets stepping in, and she regrets it.
- 1:47:36Speaker 4: She also has said since then that a lot of
- 1:47:39Speaker 4: her castmates have unfollowed her since she released that statement.
- 1:47:43Speaker 2: Have you heard from me?
- 1:47:47Speaker 3: Here's what I'll say about me. I was one of
- 1:47:49Speaker 3: the castmates that unfollowed her after her statement was released.
- 1:47:54Speaker 3: Me and I from day one from the friends giving event,
- 1:47:58Speaker 3: we had a really cool connection. It was I knew
- 1:48:01Speaker 3: of her before basketball wives, from the snob Life brand
- 1:48:03Speaker 3: and everything else, and so meeting her in person someone
- 1:48:07Speaker 3: that was so seemingly like larger than life, and you
- 1:48:09Speaker 3: don't really know what to expect seeing that she was
- 1:48:12Speaker 3: so cool and she was such a girl's girl, and
- 1:48:14Speaker 3: I'm just like, wow, like I really like her, you
- 1:48:16Speaker 3: know what I'm saying, and vice versa. From that moment forward,
- 1:48:20Speaker 3: I felt like we maybe we weren't close as you know,
- 1:48:24Speaker 3: Brittany and I have gotten her whatever, but we were
- 1:48:26Speaker 3: really cool. Like she would text me, she would check
- 1:48:28Speaker 3: in on me. I'm texting her back like she's calling
- 1:48:31Speaker 3: me her partner in crime, my piic. We were locked in.
- 1:48:35Speaker 3: From my standpoint, leading up to the fight, her opinions
- 1:48:43Speaker 3: were her own. You're seeing Jackie get up and walk away,
- 1:48:46Speaker 3: You're saying out of your own mouth that that's wrong,
- 1:48:47Speaker 3: you would never do that to your daughter, etc. So
- 1:48:50Speaker 3: to now get to this point where the whole world
- 1:48:53Speaker 3: is on fire and everybody is talking about this, and
- 1:48:55Speaker 3: this is such a trending topic, and based on one incident,
- 1:49:01Speaker 3: you feel like you owe her this apology, which is fair.
- 1:49:04Speaker 3: I get it, Like I understand you, I didn't best
- 1:49:08Speaker 3: explain the way that this fight happened, and so you
- 1:49:10Speaker 3: thought something else happened and you judged Jackie off of it.
- 1:49:13Speaker 3: I can understand that. But I feel like what made
- 1:49:16Speaker 3: me unfollow her or what made me feel some sort
- 1:49:18Speaker 3: of way about her is like the other commentary in
- 1:49:22Speaker 3: the statement, like as a mother, I can understand and
- 1:49:25Speaker 3: if I was, but as a daughter you should also
- 1:49:27Speaker 3: be able to understand because you yourself have said you
- 1:49:30Speaker 3: and VICKI have problems. You yourself have said you understand
- 1:49:34Speaker 3: the mother womb. You and yourself have said the things
- 1:49:37Speaker 3: that she did to me during the season on and
- 1:49:39Speaker 3: off camera were wrong. So if you want to apologize
- 1:49:43Speaker 3: to her based on judging her, whatever your commentary was
- 1:49:46Speaker 3: after the fight scene, I understand and I respect that.
- 1:49:50Speaker 3: I'm not never gonna take that away from you, and
- 1:49:52Speaker 3: I'm not trying to get anybody on my side. But
- 1:49:55Speaker 3: all of these opinions from all of these castmates were
- 1:49:58Speaker 3: their own. The only person you ever saw me say
- 1:50:03Speaker 3: essentially pick aside to on camera was Jennifer when she said,
- 1:50:07Speaker 3: how can I assist you? How can I whatever? And
- 1:50:09Speaker 3: I said, well, you can start by holding her accountable,
- 1:50:11Speaker 3: and if she's not gonna be accountable, then you could
- 1:50:13Speaker 3: tell her. I just don't for I want to be
- 1:50:14Speaker 3: around you, because that's the type of person I am.
- 1:50:16Speaker 3: I don't I'm not fratnizing with bad mothers or disrespectful people,
- 1:50:21Speaker 3: or you get what I'm saying. I don't play like that.
- 1:50:23Speaker 3: I don't want you in my space. If that's what
- 1:50:25Speaker 3: you want, and that's what you'll do to your own kid,
- 1:50:29Speaker 3: there's no hope for me. So that's what I meant
- 1:50:32Speaker 3: when I said that to Jennifer. I didn't come in
- 1:50:34Speaker 3: Jackie's friend group, mind you. Britney's new, fairly new. Denise
- 1:50:39Speaker 3: is definitely new, Ty is new, Meing is new. This
- 1:50:41Speaker 3: is not Jackie's fring group. Jennifer, Brandy and Evelyn is
- 1:50:46Speaker 3: Jackie's fring group. Okay, cool, But y'all are acting like
- 1:50:50Speaker 3: there's not this new group of people who have formed
- 1:50:52Speaker 3: their own opinions based off of these interactions that they're
- 1:50:55Speaker 3: witnessing on a day to day basis. They were there
- 1:50:59Speaker 3: in Vegas the house when the cameras weren't rolling, they
- 1:51:01Speaker 3: heard the stuff she was saying. So to now get
- 1:51:05Speaker 3: to this space where I feel like some of you
- 1:51:08Speaker 3: are like, oh, how do I you know what I'm saying?
- 1:51:10Speaker 3: I don't know how to I'm not looking for a
- 1:51:13Speaker 3: politically correct answer. Was it right or was it wrong?
- 1:51:16Speaker 3: Would you witnessed? Was it right or was it wrong?
- 1:51:19Speaker 3: If you are not basing anything else, not a childhood,
- 1:51:23Speaker 3: not a nothing, off of what you experienced over the
- 1:51:26Speaker 3: course of this season, was it right or was it wrong?
- 1:51:32Speaker 2: Do you think she did that for the audience releases
- 1:51:35Speaker 2: the same man?
- 1:51:36Speaker 3: I don't know because I never took me really for
- 1:51:38Speaker 3: real as like that type of person. So I was shocked.
- 1:51:41Speaker 3: I just quietly unfollowed it and just went on about
- 1:51:43Speaker 3: my day because since if that's how you feel, I
- 1:51:45Speaker 3: respect it. I'm not gonna press you about it. It
- 1:51:47Speaker 3: is what it is, and I just thought that we
- 1:51:50Speaker 3: were better than that, but you just never know.
- 1:51:55Speaker 2: My hope is this for you and your mother.
- 1:51:58Speaker 4: I obviously I've not said this before, and I know
- 1:52:02Speaker 4: your mom, and I want you to know. I text
- 1:52:04Speaker 4: your mother the night the night I saw it, and
- 1:52:07Speaker 4: my exact words your mom was, I love you.
- 1:52:09Speaker 2: I'm praying for y'all. This too shall pass because.
- 1:52:12Speaker 4: I want you to even enough for my spirit, and
- 1:52:17Speaker 4: I want to say this to you.
- 1:52:20Speaker 2: I love you. I'm praying for you, and this too
- 1:52:23Speaker 2: shall pass. I want to say that too to your
- 1:52:25Speaker 2: face as well, because.
- 1:52:27Speaker 4: I know that for me and our situation is vastly different.
- 1:52:34Speaker 4: I know for me, I had to tell my father
- 1:52:38Speaker 4: how I felt. Not for him, it was for me.
- 1:52:43Speaker 4: I had to release that shit. I had to release
- 1:52:46Speaker 4: that pain. I spent twenty eight years of my life
- 1:52:50Speaker 4: thinking my own father does not like me and the
- 1:52:53Speaker 4: way he treated me and spoke to me, and I
- 1:52:56Speaker 4: had to say to him, this is how I feel.
- 1:53:00Speaker 4: And I even said to him, Chantell, this has nothing
- 1:53:03Speaker 4: to do with you. I'm doing this for me now. Granted,
- 1:53:07Speaker 4: in his defense, I said to myself, I'm chantel. I
- 1:53:12Speaker 4: don't know what it's like to be born in nineteen
- 1:53:14Speaker 4: forty nine. I don't know what it's like to be
- 1:53:17Speaker 4: a black man drinking out of the color water fountain.
- 1:53:21Speaker 4: I don't know what it's like to have a father
- 1:53:22Speaker 4: who pickedcotton. I don't know what it's like to grow
- 1:53:25Speaker 4: up and at a time where there was no openly
- 1:53:27Speaker 4: gay person in the world. I don't know what it's
- 1:53:30Speaker 4: like to be a black man in the fifties, sixties, seventies,
- 1:53:33Speaker 4: and eighties when I was born. And I had to
- 1:53:37Speaker 4: give my father grace because I said to myself, all
- 1:53:41Speaker 4: the things you did to me. He didn't abuse me physically,
- 1:53:44Speaker 4: nothing like that, right, but the way he treated me
- 1:53:46Speaker 4: and sometimes ignored me. And I said to myself, if
- 1:53:52Speaker 4: I put myself in your shoes as a nineteen forty
- 1:53:54Speaker 4: nine born black man at that time, with the tools
- 1:53:58Speaker 4: that you had, and then all of a sudden, your son,
- 1:54:02Speaker 4: your third born son, comes out as Carlos King like that, Okay.
- 1:54:11Speaker 4: I had to say to myself, I now know that
- 1:54:14Speaker 4: you didn't have the tools to deal with that, and
- 1:54:18Speaker 4: I just had to put myself in his shoes to
- 1:54:20Speaker 4: understand him more and to forgive him, and me forgiving
- 1:54:26Speaker 4: him was for me to release the pain. And now
- 1:54:29Speaker 4: we're the best of friends. What I want for you,
- 1:54:32Speaker 4: your mom, at some point, not today, this year, next year,
- 1:54:37Speaker 4: is whenever the time is right, because I agree with
- 1:54:39Speaker 4: you one thousand percent. I believe God situated this madness
- 1:54:45Speaker 4: for you and her to at some point have whatever
- 1:54:47Speaker 4: is meant to have. I don't think this is the
- 1:54:50Speaker 4: end of you guys. Do I see you guys being
- 1:54:52Speaker 4: best friends? No, I don't, But I do see you
- 1:54:56Speaker 4: guys being in a place of coexisting and whatever.
- 1:55:00Speaker 2: That looks like for you. I want you to know this.
- 1:55:03Speaker 2: For me, I am praying for your mental health.
- 1:55:06Speaker 4: I'm sure it's difficult to see your altercation be a
- 1:55:10Speaker 4: meme and and to have that image displayed for the
- 1:55:18Speaker 4: rest of your life. That one day your daughter has
- 1:55:20Speaker 4: to see that, that one day your son has to
- 1:55:23Speaker 4: see that. And I want the world to understand that, Yes,
- 1:55:26Speaker 4: you guys have given them content to work with. But
- 1:55:30Speaker 4: what I would like to implore for the audience is, Okay, y'all.
- 1:55:35Speaker 2: Got it, and I think at some point enough is enough.
- 1:55:40Speaker 2: Enough is enough.
- 1:55:41Speaker 4: I understand where they're coming from in terms of being
- 1:55:44Speaker 4: a black person, like we don't.
- 1:55:45Speaker 2: We just don't treat our moms.
- 1:55:46Speaker 3: That you did.
- 1:55:53Speaker 4: But I also understand I also understand this. I am
- 1:55:57Speaker 4: very proud of your generation who are now standing up
- 1:56:01Speaker 4: for themselves, saying just because y'all did that that way,
- 1:56:06Speaker 4: that doesn't mean I have to subscribe to that.
- 1:56:08Speaker 2: But I do think.
- 1:56:10Speaker 4: There's a way for your generation to do things a
- 1:56:13Speaker 4: different way where the underlining thing is still respect. And
- 1:56:17Speaker 4: that's why I said on my own show, y'all both wrong.
- 1:56:20Speaker 4: I said that right.
- 1:56:22Speaker 2: But I.
- 1:56:24Speaker 4: Appreciate you so much for having the ability within a
- 1:56:30Speaker 4: week to reach out to me and say, let's talk,
- 1:56:33Speaker 4: because I have been praying for your family in my
- 1:56:37Speaker 4: quiet times. I've been praying for you, your siblings, your father,
- 1:56:43Speaker 4: and you and your mom because.
- 1:56:47Speaker 2: I don't know what that feels like.
- 1:56:49Speaker 4: And I want you to walk away today with an
- 1:56:52Speaker 4: understanding of forgiveness and whatever that looks like for you
- 1:56:58Speaker 4: at the time that it looks like.
- 1:57:00Speaker 2: And I want the world.
- 1:57:02Speaker 4: To chill out when it comes to that me being
- 1:57:07Speaker 4: out there, because it's not an image that I think
- 1:57:11Speaker 4: it's funny anymore. It was never funny for me. But
- 1:57:13Speaker 4: I think, I think, I think we have to stop
- 1:57:17Speaker 4: for your mental health.
- 1:57:18Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I agree. I think that it's hard
- 1:57:24Speaker 3: for people to maybe have sympathy for me because they
- 1:57:27Speaker 3: just see my anger. They just see me on tin, right,
- 1:57:31Speaker 3: And you don't when you don't really understand the backstory,
- 1:57:34Speaker 3: you don't have the pleasure to sit down and have
- 1:57:36Speaker 3: these sort of conversations with me. You're judging a book
- 1:57:39Speaker 3: by its cover or by this small efsert that you've
- 1:57:42Speaker 3: seen on social media or TV or whatever. I just
- 1:57:48Speaker 3: I have to for my own mental health just stop
- 1:57:52Speaker 3: feeding into it, you know, like people say, oh, well,
- 1:57:55Speaker 3: why did you turn your comments? So I've turned the
- 1:57:56Speaker 3: comments back, going this is my page. I will protect
- 1:58:01Speaker 3: my piece here by all means necessary. Now, if I
- 1:58:02Speaker 3: make my way to the blogs and I want to
- 1:58:04Speaker 3: and I want to dispute my truth or argue what
- 1:58:07Speaker 3: a random stranger would, I could do that. But as
- 1:58:09Speaker 3: far as for as for me at my house, We're not.
- 1:58:12Speaker 3: We're not gonna do that. I'm not gonna sit here
- 1:58:14Speaker 3: and let thousands of people comment and say vile things
- 1:58:17Speaker 3: and judge me off of how I handle the situation
- 1:58:19Speaker 3: that is very painful and real to me, Like nobody
- 1:58:23Speaker 3: is perfect and it sucks that this will, you know,
- 1:58:28Speaker 3: live on. I think that it's interesting that there have
- 1:58:33Speaker 3: been there have been several fights in the history of
- 1:58:36Speaker 3: basketball wives that never seen the light of day, that
- 1:58:40Speaker 3: have been blurred out or cut out or whatever it
- 1:58:42Speaker 3: may have been. And so I think that it's interesting
- 1:58:45Speaker 3: that this one did see the light of day in
- 1:58:47Speaker 3: its entirety, and I don't know why that is, but
- 1:58:51Speaker 3: I think when I really sit with it, outside of
- 1:58:57Speaker 3: all of the hate that I've received, I have one
- 1:58:59Speaker 3: hundreds of messages Carlos from people that are saying, I
- 1:59:02Speaker 3: see you, I get it, I understand. I've been in
- 1:59:05Speaker 3: this situation before, and even though I don't agree with
- 1:59:09Speaker 3: the way that you handled it, or I don't agree
- 1:59:11Speaker 3: with the image of you put in your hands on
- 1:59:12Speaker 3: or whatever it may be, I have sympathy for you.
- 1:59:15Speaker 3: I have empathy for you. Things that maybe people won't
- 1:59:20Speaker 3: say publicly I've received privately. So because of that, I
- 1:59:24Speaker 3: know that there is a light at the end of
- 1:59:25Speaker 3: the tunnel. And I can't get too down on myself
- 1:59:29Speaker 3: right now. You know, Like I've had the pleasure of
- 1:59:33Speaker 3: that happened in Hawaii at like the top of the year,
- 1:59:35Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying, Like we're at the end
- 1:59:37Speaker 3: of summer now. I've had months to sit with it,
- 1:59:40Speaker 3: to heal from it, to go through therapy, to talk
- 1:59:42Speaker 3: to the people closes to therapy. Yes, absolutely, I've been
- 1:59:45Speaker 3: in therapy for like a decade. Job what I know
- 1:59:48Speaker 3: people would be like, how are you in therapy. Acting
- 1:59:49Speaker 3: like that. Sometimes you can when you're not around your
- 1:59:55Speaker 3: triggers or you're not around those traumatic situations, you can
- 1:59:58Speaker 3: just suppress them. But when you get in it and
- 2:00:01Speaker 3: you're right face to face with something that you've been
- 2:00:03Speaker 3: battling for so long, it's so hard to think of
- 2:00:06Speaker 3: all of the tips and the tricks and the things
- 2:00:08Speaker 3: that you've learned, and you know, the acupressure points, and
- 2:00:11Speaker 3: I'm not thinking about none of that. I'm spiraling right now,
- 2:00:14Speaker 3: and I want y'all to leave me alone. You get
- 2:00:16Speaker 3: what I'm saying.
- 2:00:16Speaker 2: I get it.
- 2:00:17Speaker 3: So I just I'm going to continue to give myself grace.
- 2:00:21Speaker 3: I'm going to continue to hold myself accountable. I'm going
- 2:00:24Speaker 3: to continue to just try to grow and be better.
- 2:00:28Speaker 3: Like you know, even in my green screens, Like I said,
- 2:00:31Speaker 3: I don't know what happened to my mom or what
- 2:00:34Speaker 3: made her this way or whatever that may be, but
- 2:00:37Speaker 3: I know that somewhere along the way, she made a
- 2:00:40Speaker 3: conscious decision, and she continues to make a conscious decision
- 2:00:44Speaker 3: not to get the help that she probably needs and
- 2:00:47Speaker 3: not to go to therapy and address the things that
- 2:00:50Speaker 3: she may feel about herself, about her kids, about her
- 2:00:52Speaker 3: whatever that may look like for her. I'm doing the
- 2:00:55Speaker 3: necessary work to change that in my life so that
- 2:00:58Speaker 3: it doesn't bleed onto my kids. And that's the silver
- 2:01:02Speaker 3: lining in all of this is that I really do
- 2:01:03Speaker 3: feel like I broke the cycle. It was done in
- 2:01:06Speaker 3: a very messy, crazy way. Sometimes that's just how it goes,
- 2:01:16Speaker 3: and I'm okay with that. If my kids grow up
- 2:01:19Speaker 3: one day and see that footage, am I proud of it?
- 2:01:23Speaker 6: No?
- 2:01:24Speaker 3: Absolutely not, Like that's insane. Who would be proud of it?
- 2:01:26Speaker 3: But that is why I wanted to take the time
- 2:01:28Speaker 3: to sit down with you today so that my side
- 2:01:31Speaker 3: of the story and my take on things right, because
- 2:01:34Speaker 3: of course there's always three sides mine, hers and the
- 2:01:36Speaker 3: truth and everything. I get what people saying, but I
- 2:01:39Speaker 3: wanted this to live on somewhere in some part of
- 2:01:42Speaker 3: the Internet that this is how I felt, this is
- 2:01:46Speaker 3: what I was dealing with, this is what I was battling,
- 2:01:48Speaker 3: this is what caused me to arrive at this point.
- 2:01:51Speaker 3: And all I can do going forward is just be better.
- 2:01:57Speaker 3: Like that's really it. That's all that you can ask for.
- 2:01:59Speaker 3: I can't go and change it. I can't go back
- 2:02:01Speaker 3: and not put your hand off of me. I just
- 2:02:03Speaker 3: have to move forward. And that's the problem with social
- 2:02:07Speaker 3: media and the society today. They don't want you to
- 2:02:09Speaker 3: move forward. They actually would drag this on for as
- 2:02:11Speaker 3: long as they could, if they possibly could. But there
- 2:02:14Speaker 3: will always be a new story, a new headline, a
- 2:02:17Speaker 3: new news cycle, and y'all will be picking on somebody
- 2:02:19Speaker 3: else tomorrow, you know what I'm saying. And because of that,
- 2:02:23Speaker 3: that's what kind of keeps me afloat. I'm like, okay,
- 2:02:26Speaker 3: y'all just don't know no.
- 2:02:27Speaker 2: Better no, Like I said, what's next for Chantel.
- 2:02:34Speaker 3: I'm not gonna lie to you, Carlos, I don't know.
- 2:02:36Speaker 2: And that's okay, Yeah, that's okay. You don't have to know, Chantel.
- 2:02:41Speaker 2: You don't have to know.
- 2:02:43Speaker 4: I don't want you to do anything, honestly, I want
- 2:02:45Speaker 4: you to continue to heal. I want you to continue
- 2:02:48Speaker 4: to be in therapy. I want you to continue being
- 2:02:52Speaker 4: a mom and.
- 2:02:53Speaker 2: A wife, and.
- 2:02:56Speaker 4: Don't feel the need to rush into the next thing.
- 2:03:00Speaker 4: I want, thousand percent agree with you. God's hands is
- 2:03:04Speaker 4: in everything, and it's up to you and your mom
- 2:03:10Speaker 4: to figure out that relationship. But more importantly, Chantelle's up
- 2:03:14Speaker 4: to you to figure out how to be an extension
- 2:03:19Speaker 4: of a mother and a wife, and a woman and
- 2:03:21Speaker 4: a daughter and a sister moving forward. And that's the
- 2:03:25Speaker 4: only thing I want for you. Don't rush anything as
- 2:03:28Speaker 4: of now, and I thank you for this.
- 2:03:31Speaker 2: Thank you, my love, appreciate anytime. It was exactly what
- 2:03:38Speaker 2: that means the world to me.
