47
00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:00,640

Speaker 3: I'm good? Boo, how are you, my love?

51
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:11,360
Speaker 4: I'm good, I'm good. I can't complain. I'm blessed. And

52
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:12,120
Speaker 4: how they favored you?

53
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 2: Know that you are, that you are so look, I

54
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:19,120
Speaker 2: wanted to talk to you because you are one of

55
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:22,360
Speaker 2: my loves and I always feel like the world needs

56
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:24,240
Speaker 2: to know the real Crystal.

57
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:27,760
Speaker 3: Like this chick is a boss, she's.

58
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 2: Beautiful, but she also somebody who I know has been

59
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 2: through a lot. So let's start for the beginning, Chrystal,

60
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:39,080
Speaker 2: in terms of do you feel like people misunderstanding who

61
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:41,920
Speaker 2: you are and what do you feel it is that

62
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:44,280
Speaker 2: they just think you're one thing, but you're not.

63
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:48,560
Speaker 1: I definitely think that I misunderstood because you know, people

64
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 1: they read blogs, and just because it's in a blog,

65
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 1: they automatically assume that it's true and they never get

66
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 1: a story. And I don't really speak out about myself

67
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 1: to try to correct anybody. So one, I think the

68
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:02,480
Speaker 1: biggest thing is like the home record thing, because definitely

69
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 1: ain't ever been that. Any men that I date is

70
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:08,440
Speaker 1: absolutely single. And I think also just because I'm not

71
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 1: a conformist, you know, I don't go with the trends,

72
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 1: and just because people don't like you, I don't really

73
00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 1: give a fuck.

74
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 2: I don't know, I.

75
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:20,920
Speaker 1: Don't really care, you know what I'm saying, like, and

76
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 1: so I don't dance the beat if anybody's drum but

77
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:26,839
Speaker 1: my own. So people take that in whatever way that

78
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:28,680
Speaker 1: they do, and I don't really care.

79
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:31,040
Speaker 4: So I don't know.

80
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 1: I just pushed through for me and my kids, and

81
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 1: I'm about my career, making money and accomplishment goals for myself,

82
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:42,200
Speaker 1: and whether that is what everyone else bites doesn't matter,

83
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:42,719
Speaker 1: you know.

84
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:43,480
Speaker 3: Yeah.

85
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:45,839
Speaker 2: No, I love the fact that you are a woman

86
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 2: who stands on our own convictions, and you have the

87
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:52,159
Speaker 2: type of personality that I want all of my reality

88
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:55,440
Speaker 2: starts to have, which is you give zero fucks what

89
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:57,400
Speaker 2: anyone has to say about you.

90
00:04:57,960 --> 00:04:59,480
Speaker 3: So where did that come from?

91
00:04:59,680 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 4: You know?

92
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:02,880
Speaker 1: I grew up in the hood, So to be in

93
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 1: this lifestyle, this platform, to accomplish so much that in

94
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:10,320
Speaker 1: itself is a blessing that for me, I feel accomplished.

95
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 4: I'm very level headed. I treat everyone with respect.

96
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:19,479
Speaker 1: Until I'm disrespected, and I'm just grateful and I feel

97
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:21,840
Speaker 1: blessed that I am who I am today.

98
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:24,599
Speaker 4: I have three beautiful children. I can give them.

99
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:28,760
Speaker 1: A beautiful lifestyle, and to me, that is life goals,

100
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:31,880
Speaker 1: giving them what I didn't have. So anything else outside

101
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:34,680
Speaker 1: of that is just extra. And if it's negative, I

102
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:36,640
Speaker 1: don't really care, you know what I'm saying. As long

103
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:40,839
Speaker 1: as it doesn't affect my household, my family, it doesn't matter.

104
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:43,960
Speaker 4: So let that share roll off your shoulder, you know, oh.

105
00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:44,719
Speaker 3: One hundred percent.

106
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 2: And when I have to show on own Call Behind

107
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:51,480
Speaker 2: every Man, it was about, you know, the powerful women,

108
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:54,159
Speaker 2: the superstars behind.

109
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:55,040
Speaker 3: Some of these celebrity men.

110
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:58,520
Speaker 2: And that episode with you was one of our highest

111
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:02,000
Speaker 2: rated episodes because the world got a chance to know

112
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:07,839
Speaker 2: who Crystal was outside of her you know, relationship. And

113
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:11,920
Speaker 2: you are somebody who started out in this industry being

114
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:15,640
Speaker 2: a video model and worked her ass off to become

115
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:18,679
Speaker 2: the self made woman you are today. Take us back

116
00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:20,640
Speaker 2: to how you got involved in this industry.

117
00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:22,840
Speaker 4: You know, it just kind of like happened.

118
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:26,479
Speaker 1: Remember Black Men's Magazine and all that kind of stuff.

119
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:30,599
Speaker 1: Way back then, they contacted me on Instagram to do

120
00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:35,039
Speaker 1: a photo shoot, and the photographer that was there, he

121
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:36,880
Speaker 1: was like putting on a lot of the girls and

122
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:40,120
Speaker 1: stuff back when hostings and all that stuff was just

123
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:43,600
Speaker 1: like beginning. And so we did one photo shoot and

124
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:47,320
Speaker 1: went viral the next week maybe I think I started

125
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:51,400
Speaker 1: doing hostings and it got up to like ten bands whatever,

126
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:52,920
Speaker 1: and so I was doing four or five of those

127
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:56,360
Speaker 1: a week, you know, and it just went from there.

128
00:06:56,480 --> 00:07:01,200
Speaker 4: So, you know, I'm all about my coins, so I

129
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:02,440
Speaker 4: was all for it.

130
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:04,800
Speaker 1: You know, it just kind of happened overnight, literally, So

131
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:08,919
Speaker 1: I went from you know, working a regular job to like,

132
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:12,280
Speaker 1: now everybody knows who I am, making thousands of dollars

133
00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:14,480
Speaker 1: a week, and you know, that was a cool life

134
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:14,680
Speaker 1: for me.

135
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:16,960
Speaker 2: And what was cool about it is the fact that

136
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:22,800
Speaker 2: you were somebody that kept getting asked by these musical artists,

137
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:26,440
Speaker 2: these singers, these rappers to appear in that video, especially

138
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:27,520
Speaker 2: at a time when.

139
00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:30,440
Speaker 3: Music videos were the hottest thing.

140
00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:34,760
Speaker 2: In the world, and you were able to appear in

141
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:37,960
Speaker 2: some of our favorite artists music videos and then parlay

142
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:42,520
Speaker 2: that into being this social media icon. So talk to

143
00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 2: us about some of the videos you appeared in and

144
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:49,720
Speaker 2: how that transition came into also getting paid for posting

145
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 2: pictures on Instagram.

146
00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 1: Well, you know, everyone says the whole like video girl

147
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:58,960
Speaker 1: thing but honestly, I had only done I think two

148
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:02,120
Speaker 1: videos outside of my exis, so I wasn't really a

149
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 1: video girl.

150
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:04,360
Speaker 4: I was just popping on the.

151
00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:06,440
Speaker 1: Ground with like my photo shoots and I was doing

152
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:09,800
Speaker 1: hostings like that to me was every day money and

153
00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:12,400
Speaker 1: videos don't pay that much. So I had only done

154
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:15,640
Speaker 1: two videos and you only saw like a glimpse of me.

155
00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:18,440
Speaker 1: It wasn't like a whole thing before, you know.

156
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:20,160
Speaker 4: So I really wasn't a video girl.

157
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:23,720
Speaker 2: But you also want somebody, like I said, who was

158
00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:26,360
Speaker 2: able to take the social media world to a new level,

159
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:30,360
Speaker 2: because again, there's so much money to be made just

160
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:33,960
Speaker 2: in terms of like posting and hosting, so talk to

161
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:34,920
Speaker 2: us about that too.

162
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:38,720
Speaker 1: So when it came to social media, I think like

163
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:41,800
Speaker 1: I wasn't like a person. I've never been a person

164
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:43,680
Speaker 1: that's in the streets, that's in the clubs all the time,

165
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:45,040
Speaker 1: So nobody knew who I was.

166
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:47,760
Speaker 4: I was just like this new girl on the scene,

167
00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 4: and I don't know what it was like.

168
00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:51,920
Speaker 1: I speak my mind all the time, and not in

169
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:53,520
Speaker 1: like a bad way, but I just keep it real.

170
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:56,599
Speaker 1: And it just went from the photo shoots that I

171
00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:59,600
Speaker 1: would put online to the hostings and then just like

172
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:02,480
Speaker 1: trying to you know, put that into making money and

173
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:05,680
Speaker 1: monetizing on social media. So companies will reach out and

174
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:07,680
Speaker 1: I would do stuff for them and get paid for it.

175
00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:09,120
Speaker 1: And it was just to me, it was just all

176
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:12,200
Speaker 1: about like making the coin. And with that, you know,

177
00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:14,319
Speaker 1: you get your haters, but you also get your supporters,

178
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:16,840
Speaker 1: and my support outweighed way outweigh the.

179
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:18,640
Speaker 4: Negative, you know what I'm saying.

180
00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:20,280
Speaker 1: So it just kind of been a thing where like

181
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:23,920
Speaker 1: women would like appreciate the fact that, like I kept

182
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:26,880
Speaker 1: it real. No matter who you are or what you do,

183
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:28,520
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, that does make you better

184
00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:31,040
Speaker 1: than anybody. And like women, you know, they gravitate towards

185
00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:33,640
Speaker 1: that confidence and strength, and that's all I ever try

186
00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:34,120
Speaker 1: to display.

187
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:38,160
Speaker 2: You then went on to start in reality shows. So

188
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:41,960
Speaker 2: the first reality show I remember was all about the

189
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:46,400
Speaker 2: business on BT. It also start Eva Marcel, who we

190
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:49,040
Speaker 2: know from Housewives, Top Model and now she has a

191
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:52,440
Speaker 2: show on BT. Plus all the Queen's men talk to

192
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:56,800
Speaker 2: us about that experience because you and Eva came on

193
00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:59,360
Speaker 2: the show together courtesy of you guys being best friends.

194
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:02,360
Speaker 1: So that show, everyone that was in that show I

195
00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:04,720
Speaker 1: knew in real life. We all hung out, we all,

196
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:06,600
Speaker 1: you know, had our little group of friends, and it

197
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:09,559
Speaker 1: just kind of like made sense. And she used to

198
00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:12,280
Speaker 1: always tell me, like, Crystal, You're made for TV. You

199
00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:15,040
Speaker 1: have such a personality all this stuff, and honestly, I

200
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:17,080
Speaker 1: was nervous. I was scared because, like, I know my

201
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:19,080
Speaker 1: personality and I know when people.

202
00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:21,240
Speaker 4: Get on camera they changed.

203
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:23,400
Speaker 1: So I've always been nervous about that because you never

204
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:25,079
Speaker 1: know what your reaction is going to be until you

205
00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:28,200
Speaker 1: put in that situation. So She's always just pushed me

206
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:30,280
Speaker 1: and motivated me to just you know, step out on my.

207
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:34,720
Speaker 4: Own and doing that, it was it was an.

208
00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:37,240
Speaker 1: Experience, but I'm glad that I did it because it

209
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:39,440
Speaker 1: did allow people to see me and get to know

210
00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:41,120
Speaker 1: me just a little bit, and it opened up a

211
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:43,320
Speaker 1: lot more doors for me outside of TV, which I

212
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:44,560
Speaker 1: was very grateful for.

213
00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:47,480
Speaker 3: Are you still friends with Eva Marcel?

214
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:49,400
Speaker 4: Yes? Absolutely.

215
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:53,600
Speaker 2: Were you around when all of these things came about

216
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:57,320
Speaker 2: with her bridesmaid and this wedding fiasco that came when

217
00:10:57,360 --> 00:10:59,520
Speaker 2: people were accusing her of doing crazy things?

218
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:02,520
Speaker 3: Were you a part of that whole bridal party situation?

219
00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:04,960
Speaker 1: I was one of her bridesmaids, but I was not

220
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:07,000
Speaker 1: a part of that situation. I don't do mess when

221
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:09,120
Speaker 1: it comes to friends, even if you were my friend

222
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:11,120
Speaker 1: in the past, I don't get involved in that because

223
00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:12,720
Speaker 1: if I loved you at one point, I love you

224
00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:14,640
Speaker 1: now and I'm not gonna do the messy. So when

225
00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:16,280
Speaker 1: all of that was going on and they had their

226
00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:19,080
Speaker 1: little ponder rosa going on, I was there and I

227
00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:21,439
Speaker 1: left and I just stayed out of it, you know

228
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:23,240
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. And I tried to support her as

229
00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:25,480
Speaker 1: best as I could, and you know, build her up

230
00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:26,880
Speaker 1: in that way and just let her know whatever people

231
00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:28,360
Speaker 1: gonna say, they're gonna say, and let her roll off

232
00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:28,680
Speaker 1: your back.

233
00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:33,280
Speaker 2: But yes, I remember that you are somebody who really

234
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:36,520
Speaker 2: is a girl's girl. And I do feel like people

235
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:38,920
Speaker 2: when they look at you, they just assume like, oh,

236
00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:41,439
Speaker 2: she's a mean girl, she's a bit she's this or that.

237
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:43,680
Speaker 3: What's crazy is you're the total opposite.

238
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:46,280
Speaker 2: So when you were around with that happening, what advice

239
00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:49,400
Speaker 2: would you give Eva? Knowing that at some point all

240
00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:52,200
Speaker 2: of you guys appear to just be like real friends

241
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:55,600
Speaker 2: and to be able to have to deal with that

242
00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:57,640
Speaker 2: and the fact that I know you, I know they

243
00:11:57,640 --> 00:11:58,559
Speaker 2: have to be hard for you.

244
00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:02,400
Speaker 1: It was hard because it was like, I'm at a

245
00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:05,880
Speaker 1: place where I don't want to get involved. But for me,

246
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:10,000
Speaker 1: it kind of angered me because I felt like, she's pregnant,

247
00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:12,599
Speaker 1: she's getting married, after everything that she's gone through in

248
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:16,199
Speaker 1: her past relationships, Like this is her moment of happiness,

249
00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:18,040
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. And I just felt like

250
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:20,160
Speaker 1: no one should have came in between her and enjoyed

251
00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:22,520
Speaker 1: that moment and living into her fullest instead of them

252
00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:23,600
Speaker 1: trying to like break her.

253
00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:25,560
Speaker 4: Down and make sure that she did.

254
00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:27,320
Speaker 1: The only thing she remember about that was the fact

255
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:30,560
Speaker 1: that her friends or so called friends did that to her.

256
00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:32,880
Speaker 1: So the only thing, the main thing that I told

257
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:35,440
Speaker 1: her was cut your phone off, stop reading stuff, and

258
00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:37,959
Speaker 1: enjoy your husband, your new husband. You know what I'm saying,

259
00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:39,959
Speaker 1: because this moment you're never going to get back, and

260
00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:43,080
Speaker 1: you're doing something and living a moment that most of

261
00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:43,920
Speaker 1: these women.

262
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:46,200
Speaker 4: Wish they could, so fuck all that.

263
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:49,199
Speaker 1: Stay with your man, cut your phone off, enjoy your honeymoon,

264
00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:52,760
Speaker 1: and when you get back, handle them, but for right now,

265
00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:55,000
Speaker 1: enjoy it because you deserve it.

266
00:12:55,320 --> 00:13:02,079
Speaker 2: Another show your paradign was Platinum Life. Une If y'all

267
00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:04,760
Speaker 2: saw the face Crystal Bay and now she's sipping on

268
00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:09,400
Speaker 2: her head to see So let's dive into it. So,

269
00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:12,160
Speaker 2: as you all know, as the king of Reality TV,

270
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:15,920
Speaker 2: I love all things reality. So when I saw All

271
00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:19,520
Speaker 2: About the Business on BT, obviously I watched it because

272
00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:22,840
Speaker 2: I'm a huge fan of EVA. But baby, that Crystal

273
00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:26,040
Speaker 2: was the life that just gave me what I needed, honey.

274
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:28,920
Speaker 2: So I was like, Crystal is that girl. She's a

275
00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:32,320
Speaker 2: force multiplier and I'm here for it. So I was

276
00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:34,720
Speaker 2: sad when the show did not come back, but I

277
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:39,800
Speaker 2: got a chance to be introduced to Platinum Life. And

278
00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:43,000
Speaker 2: let's be clear, because I follow you and we're friends.

279
00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:45,320
Speaker 2: I was like, oh, I'm here for Crystal, and this

280
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:48,319
Speaker 2: is before we became friends, honestly. So I was a

281
00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:50,800
Speaker 2: huge fan of the show because I watched because of

282
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:55,840
Speaker 2: you and the show. If y'all watched this show, it

283
00:13:55,880 --> 00:14:00,640
Speaker 2: was on E In the first episode, Miss Crystal Honey

284
00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:08,319
Speaker 2: stunt on the girls and invited and Crystal show pitches

285
00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:11,679
Speaker 2: or platup Life. No, I'll be silly. The girls were

286
00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:19,400
Speaker 2: on Crystal's private plane going to Las Vegas to see

287
00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:24,600
Speaker 2: Jennifer Lopez. So Crystal being the queen Bee of the show,

288
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:29,800
Speaker 2: decided to have her girls the other cast members come

289
00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:34,800
Speaker 2: on her private plane to see j Lo exclusively and

290
00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:38,680
Speaker 2: to go backstage as well. And on that plane, this

291
00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:42,520
Speaker 2: is the first episode, guys, And on that plane, Crystal

292
00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:47,680
Speaker 2: read the girls for Philip talk to us about what

293
00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:51,840
Speaker 2: happened as these girls were on your PJ in their pjs,

294
00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:55,080
Speaker 2: but some bs was happening, So.

295
00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:59,200
Speaker 1: Okay about that. So not every one of them that

296
00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:04,360
Speaker 1: I knew that I did. And when the show started filming,

297
00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:08,520
Speaker 1: one of them in particular, decided that she wanted to, like,

298
00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:11,160
Speaker 1: I guess, come against me and be with what she

299
00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:13,880
Speaker 1: thought was like the cool girls group. I call them

300
00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:16,920
Speaker 1: the mean girls or whatever. And so you know, when

301
00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:19,160
Speaker 1: you do production and you're starting for the show, and

302
00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:21,840
Speaker 1: they'd ask you like what can you bring to the show,

303
00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:24,320
Speaker 1: what's this and what's that? And how how was your

304
00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:25,800
Speaker 1: life a platinum life and all this.

305
00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:27,440
Speaker 4: So me, I just kept it real.

306
00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:31,200
Speaker 1: Some of them were like, oh, I can bring this,

307
00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:33,680
Speaker 1: I can bring that, I can bring that, when they couldn't,

308
00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:36,680
Speaker 1: and when it came from filming, they're asking production to

309
00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:38,960
Speaker 1: pay for everything. So I'm like, hey, well this is

310
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:40,720
Speaker 1: what we could do. I can get this like whatever,

311
00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:43,080
Speaker 1: like it's no pressure, like let's do it. And this

312
00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:47,080
Speaker 1: one chick in particular, she I don't know from day one.

313
00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:49,040
Speaker 1: I didn't know her. She had it out for me.

314
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:53,600
Speaker 1: So she was probably like forty five minutes late, the

315
00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:55,880
Speaker 1: last one to get on the plane, and she got

316
00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:58,320
Speaker 1: She took twenty minutes at that point to like stand

317
00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:00,560
Speaker 1: outside of the plane and take pictures.

318
00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:02,000
Speaker 4: So she got on the plane.

319
00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:04,200
Speaker 1: It's not my fault that you're seven feet tall, nobody,

320
00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:05,960
Speaker 1: I have no control over that. You need to talk

321
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:08,680
Speaker 1: to God about that, and said something about the leg room,

322
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:11,680
Speaker 1: and she just was talking and talking and talking and

323
00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:15,680
Speaker 1: talking shit and I'm just like, okay, letting it roll

324
00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:18,400
Speaker 1: off my back. And it was like I can't remember

325
00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:20,440
Speaker 1: exactly what she said because sometimes I just kind of

326
00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:23,360
Speaker 1: like see red. And all I told her was, you

327
00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:26,320
Speaker 1: know commercial planes have flights every forty five minutes from

328
00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:28,080
Speaker 1: LA to Vegas if that's what you want to do,

329
00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:30,240
Speaker 1: because we can stop the plane and you can and

330
00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:32,400
Speaker 1: you can go to Lax, you know what I'm saying.

331
00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:34,400
Speaker 4: And she said something slick.

332
00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:37,800
Speaker 1: And I just I lost it because it's like the audacity,

333
00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:40,680
Speaker 1: like to get on my stuff. And just like disrespect me,

334
00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:42,040
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. And it was just like

335
00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:44,000
Speaker 1: I just felt like it was a setup and I

336
00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:46,120
Speaker 1: just lost it. So I told her, when we get

337
00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:49,720
Speaker 1: to the tarmac, we can get to it. And of course,

338
00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:52,360
Speaker 1: of course her being the first one off, because she

339
00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:55,400
Speaker 1: was the last one on, she bucked it to the inside. Look,

340
00:16:56,680 --> 00:16:58,920
Speaker 1: I don't get stuff like that, Like if I don't

341
00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:01,480
Speaker 1: like you or I have an issue with you, I'm

342
00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:03,520
Speaker 1: not gonna get on your stuff. I'm not gonna be

343
00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:05,000
Speaker 1: around you. I'm not gonna hang with you. I'm not

344
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:06,840
Speaker 1: gonna come to your house, none of that.

345
00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:08,360
Speaker 4: Like I'll go with my own people's.

346
00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:10,840
Speaker 1: But you thought you were gonna embarrass me or talk

347
00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:12,199
Speaker 1: shit or whatever the case may be.

348
00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:13,920
Speaker 4: And it doesn't. It doesn't go like that, baby.

349
00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:17,200
Speaker 3: So she got on your private plane.

350
00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:19,600
Speaker 2: And so what Chris was talking about is the show

351
00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:23,080
Speaker 2: is called Platinum Life, and the show was about the

352
00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:28,359
Speaker 2: women who were in relationships with the successful musicians. You

353
00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:32,119
Speaker 2: had Nellie's then girl from Mims Jackson, you have Miguel's

354
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:35,600
Speaker 2: then fiance and some other women.

355
00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:37,920
Speaker 4: Right Nazanine. I love her. She's a sweetheart.

356
00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:42,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, and she's so beautiful Xena Foster who is married

357
00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:45,440
Speaker 2: to Tank I don't she.

358
00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:53,080
Speaker 3: Oh no, but are born the same thing. We're cool.

359
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:55,480
Speaker 3: Zena told me she quit like she.

360
00:17:55,840 --> 00:18:04,800
Speaker 2: Quite so I think what Crystal is saying is obviously

361
00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:06,959
Speaker 2: the show is called Platinum Life, so let's see your

362
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:10,560
Speaker 2: platinum life. And it appears that some of these women

363
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:15,160
Speaker 2: weren't able to produce on their own the lifestyle that was.

364
00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:17,280
Speaker 3: Required to be a part of the cast.

365
00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:21,320
Speaker 2: And Crystal, who does this in her sleep, said I

366
00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:23,840
Speaker 2: am able to provide this, which was a girl's trip

367
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:27,800
Speaker 2: on her plane to Las Vegas. So the audacity of

368
00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:33,800
Speaker 2: a cast member allegedly having an attitude and trying to,

369
00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:36,560
Speaker 2: you know, come for the hostess with the most And

370
00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:41,720
Speaker 2: so did she ever make it backstage to meet j Lo?

371
00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:44,240
Speaker 1: You know, I'm a woman that I like to say

372
00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:47,160
Speaker 1: I walk with grace and all situations, So of course

373
00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:49,880
Speaker 1: I allowed her to come. You know, why not come

374
00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:52,520
Speaker 1: see it, Come meet this beautiful woman that you talked

375
00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:55,399
Speaker 1: to all this stuff about, and have a great evening

376
00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:55,920
Speaker 1: on me.

377
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:02,199
Speaker 4: You know, I love that you can exclude me from whatever.

378
00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:05,400
Speaker 4: Doesn't matter because it's not an experienced I want anyway.

379
00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:07,600
Speaker 1: But what I am going to show you is what

380
00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:09,720
Speaker 1: a real woman does and a mature woman. If I

381
00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:12,920
Speaker 1: invited you, come on, enjoy the experience, and then after that,

382
00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:14,320
Speaker 1: I'm gonna fuck with you no more.

383
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:16,679
Speaker 2: And what we saw over the course of the season

384
00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:20,240
Speaker 2: was that becoming a continuous beef with that situation. But

385
00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:24,560
Speaker 2: we also saw that you were really trying to just

386
00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:28,159
Speaker 2: avoid the drama, rally the girls and be the you know,

387
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:29,680
Speaker 2: the girl's girl that you are.

388
00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:32,680
Speaker 3: What happened that season where it.

389
00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:36,200
Speaker 2: Just felt like, you know, that situation just never could

390
00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:37,360
Speaker 2: die down, so.

391
00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:40,000
Speaker 1: That the thing was and like one thing about me,

392
00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:43,520
Speaker 1: even if I feel like I'm not wrong in something,

393
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:45,920
Speaker 1: if it'll keep the peace, I'm a grown ass woman.

394
00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:48,040
Speaker 4: I can come to you, have a conversation, we can

395
00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:48,600
Speaker 4: sit down.

396
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:50,760
Speaker 1: I'll even apologize even if I don't feel like I

397
00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:53,320
Speaker 1: was wrong, just in order to keep the peace. I

398
00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:56,520
Speaker 1: did that what two three times, you know what I'm saying,

399
00:19:56,600 --> 00:20:00,119
Speaker 1: And every time it was something else, something else, and

400
00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:01,960
Speaker 1: something else, until I just got fed up with it,

401
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:02,560
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying.

402
00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:04,960
Speaker 4: And it's like I'm only going to be.

403
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:09,520
Speaker 1: Cool so many times, and because y'all feel like I'm

404
00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:12,240
Speaker 1: the hood one or y'all gonna get some TV time

405
00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:14,280
Speaker 1: because y'all think if y'all say something slick, how my

406
00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:15,960
Speaker 1: reaction is gonna be and that's gonna be like the

407
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:17,560
Speaker 1: highlight of the episode or whatever.

408
00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:19,720
Speaker 4: I just felt like she.

409
00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:22,840
Speaker 1: Kept picking and kept picking until she got real, you

410
00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:25,719
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. And for me, I just felt like,

411
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:28,960
Speaker 1: I'm trying to come on TV try to show them

412
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:30,520
Speaker 1: my business, like I was the only one. I had

413
00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:33,840
Speaker 1: a business deal that I showcased on there with my cooking,

414
00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:36,119
Speaker 1: and everybody knows that's my thing, and so I was

415
00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:38,760
Speaker 1: on there like trying to be professional because I had

416
00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:41,640
Speaker 1: actual partners and contracts and.

417
00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:43,720
Speaker 4: Stuff that I was doing in real life, you know

418
00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:44,200
Speaker 4: what I'm saying.

419
00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:46,720
Speaker 1: So it's like, it doesn't do me any good to

420
00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:49,040
Speaker 1: sit on here and keep arguing with y'all and doing

421
00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:51,200
Speaker 1: all this and jeopardizing what I got going on because

422
00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:54,040
Speaker 1: I actually have something to lose. And it just felt

423
00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:57,679
Speaker 1: like women can be nasty, and if they see that

424
00:20:57,720 --> 00:20:59,639
Speaker 1: you got a light on you, they're gonna try to

425
00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:02,960
Speaker 1: put some shade on it. And because all of a sudden,

426
00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:05,360
Speaker 1: she started some kind of culinary I don't know she

427
00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:06,879
Speaker 1: was in school or something like that.

428
00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:10,159
Speaker 4: She just kept coming from me. So I wanted to

429
00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:10,640
Speaker 4: you at the door.

430
00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:13,480
Speaker 2: Well, what I know is when you're the force multiplier

431
00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:17,000
Speaker 2: of the show, which is sort of like the cast

432
00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:21,040
Speaker 2: member who is sort of like the centerpiece, she or

433
00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:24,440
Speaker 2: he is the one that is just like at the

434
00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:26,080
Speaker 2: center of the show meeting.

435
00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:29,160
Speaker 3: Whether they call it the queen bee of the star,

436
00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:31,439
Speaker 3: we called it the force multiplier.

437
00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:35,440
Speaker 2: And you were clearly that on Platinum Life, and we

438
00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:38,800
Speaker 2: saw these great episodes, but we also saw that it

439
00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:41,840
Speaker 2: did not come back for a second season. Why wasn't

440
00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:44,600
Speaker 2: the show back for a second season because I quit?

441
00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:48,760
Speaker 1: The network came to me after I almost went to

442
00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:51,480
Speaker 1: jail in Mexico for the fighting and stuff.

443
00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:52,480
Speaker 4: Y'all didn't see that.

444
00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:55,800
Speaker 1: Probably it was on camera, but it had went down

445
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:59,439
Speaker 1: in Mexico or whatever, and so at that point, I

446
00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:01,920
Speaker 1: was just like, like, this is not for me. This

447
00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:03,639
Speaker 1: is not going in the direction that I'm supposed to

448
00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:06,360
Speaker 1: be going in. This is honestly beneath me because y'all

449
00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:09,400
Speaker 1: pulling out something in me that I've worked on long ago,

450
00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:12,760
Speaker 1: and now y'all playing with legal stuff. Because shit like

451
00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:15,880
Speaker 1: that gets real and people don't realize y'all come from

452
00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:17,800
Speaker 1: this kind of life, and y'all say certain things and

453
00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:20,680
Speaker 1: don't realize everyone doesn't take it the way you think

454
00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:23,040
Speaker 1: they're gonna take it, because you do stuff on camera

455
00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:25,720
Speaker 1: and that shit translates into real life and in real

456
00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:28,000
Speaker 1: life and on security there to help you, you know

457
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:31,480
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. So at that point when I left,

458
00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:32,560
Speaker 1: I left.

459
00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:34,240
Speaker 4: I was done. You know.

460
00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:37,240
Speaker 1: The network called me like, hey, what's up? Like cause

461
00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:39,639
Speaker 1: really it was the Crystal Show, So y'all ain't have

462
00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:41,439
Speaker 1: nothing unless y'all was talking about me.

463
00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:42,679
Speaker 4: So I told them, you know.

464
00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:44,960
Speaker 1: What I'm saying, this isn't beneficial to me.

465
00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:46,800
Speaker 4: The money ain't that great.

466
00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:48,399
Speaker 1: I mean to them, I guess it's a lie, But

467
00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:50,960
Speaker 1: to me, that ain't shit. So I'm not going to

468
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:53,679
Speaker 1: jeopardize my business and what I have going on to

469
00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:55,680
Speaker 1: continue in this bullshit because this is supposed to be

470
00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:57,439
Speaker 1: a show that was supposed to be different from all

471
00:22:57,480 --> 00:23:00,320
Speaker 1: these other shows and uplifting women. That's what y'all taught me.

472
00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:03,159
Speaker 1: This is not what it is, So I quit and

473
00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:04,040
Speaker 1: nobody has a job.

474
00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:04,199
Speaker 4: Now.

475
00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:17,880
Speaker 2: Well, Crystal, we're gonna start calling you Uncle Sam, cause honey,

476
00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:23,400
Speaker 2: she is here to collect baby. Who's I hate to interrupt,

477
00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:26,720
Speaker 2: but stay tuned for more of my conversation with Crystal.

478
00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:40,359
Speaker 2: We'll be right back after this quick break. This is

479
00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:43,920
Speaker 2: Reality with the King and I'm Carlos King. Let's get

480
00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:49,280
Speaker 2: back into my chat with Crystal Smith. You are meant

481
00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:54,520
Speaker 2: to be on reality TV. And what's interesting is before

482
00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:57,080
Speaker 2: you know, I became friends. You did not know this,

483
00:23:57,160 --> 00:23:59,720
Speaker 2: but I was watching you being a huge fan of yours.

484
00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:04,480
Speaker 2: Because not everybody is meant to be on TV, but

485
00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:08,719
Speaker 2: the ones who I've been able to see, I always

486
00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:11,080
Speaker 2: say to myself, if I'm able to get a piece

487
00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:14,360
Speaker 2: of that action I wanted. So I want to tell

488
00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:17,160
Speaker 2: the listeners how you and I became friends. I had

489
00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:20,360
Speaker 2: a meeting with Nick Cannon at his office in LA

490
00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:25,280
Speaker 2: and he wanted to meet with me because he had

491
00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:27,760
Speaker 2: this show idea that involved you and Neo.

492
00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:31,439
Speaker 3: At the time, he.

493
00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:35,000
Speaker 2: Was like, Los, you may not know her, but this

494
00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:40,399
Speaker 2: woman named Crystal Smith is a star. And I said, Nick,

495
00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:44,879
Speaker 2: I know exactly who she is. You don't have to

496
00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:46,520
Speaker 2: pitch Crystal Smith to me.

497
00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:50,080
Speaker 3: I know who she is. I watched television. So we

498
00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:50,439
Speaker 3: have a.

499
00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:53,879
Speaker 2: Meeting, you and I, Neo and Nick and you and

500
00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:54,880
Speaker 2: I felt and.

501
00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:56,440
Speaker 3: Well, let me speak to myself.

502
00:24:57,800 --> 00:25:02,800
Speaker 5: Okay, I didn't, so I said, I was like, I

503
00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:05,320
Speaker 5: love you like I love you, And it is funny

504
00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:08,080
Speaker 5: because Nick and de I was like, they love each other.

505
00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:13,720
Speaker 2: So I guess this is going to work. And we

506
00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:17,359
Speaker 2: long story short, we were going to develop a show

507
00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:21,239
Speaker 2: surrounding you and your artistry and just your life and

508
00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:25,640
Speaker 2: you being like the Lucille ball of like this hip

509
00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:29,960
Speaker 2: hop community, this relationship. And we had these pitch meetings

510
00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:32,639
Speaker 2: and when I said to you, guys, Crystal killed it

511
00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:36,960
Speaker 2: in every pitch meeting so much so we had numerous

512
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:41,679
Speaker 2: offers from networks and streamers like I'm not gonna name names,

513
00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:44,560
Speaker 2: but some very big networks was like, we want some

514
00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:48,280
Speaker 2: of this, and we were almost about to do a show.

515
00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:51,000
Speaker 2: And then obviously, when it comes to business, things just

516
00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:54,960
Speaker 2: you know, happened. But that was when I realized, like,

517
00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:58,680
Speaker 2: I love her. I want to be in business with her,

518
00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:02,879
Speaker 2: because you are somebody who I think is so magical

519
00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:05,720
Speaker 2: based on, like you said earlier, being a girl from

520
00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:10,040
Speaker 2: the hood, having humble beginnings, but being able to just

521
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:14,399
Speaker 2: not allow your paths to define you, and being able

522
00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:17,159
Speaker 2: to just go after the stars. And one thing I

523
00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:19,480
Speaker 2: will say too, because I want this to be an

524
00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:21,920
Speaker 2: honest conversation and again, say anything you want to say.

525
00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:25,880
Speaker 2: But I also like the fact that wow, Neo supports

526
00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:28,840
Speaker 2: his wife, like, you know, he's like, look, if it's

527
00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:31,359
Speaker 2: what she wants, let's do it. What was going on

528
00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:34,840
Speaker 2: in regards to at that time, it was this opportunity

529
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:36,679
Speaker 2: to have a show about you guys.

530
00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:38,879
Speaker 3: Is that something you wanted?

531
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:42,119
Speaker 2: He wanted Nick wanted, Like whose idea was it for

532
00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:42,919
Speaker 2: that to happen?

533
00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:47,520
Speaker 1: You know, Nick came to us with the idea or whatever.

534
00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:49,840
Speaker 1: And then so I have a history with Nick of

535
00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:51,320
Speaker 1: you know, I used to do wild'n.

536
00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:53,800
Speaker 4: Out way wait wait long as ago.

537
00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:56,480
Speaker 1: And so meet him, have a you know, rapport and

538
00:26:56,520 --> 00:26:59,240
Speaker 1: good relationship and stuff like that. So at that time

539
00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:02,440
Speaker 1: I was recording music and stuff and it was good

540
00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:04,520
Speaker 1: and he like really really loved it. He was like, damn,

541
00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:06,720
Speaker 1: I've never heard anybody like rap like this their first

542
00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:10,320
Speaker 1: time in the studio whatever, And so he had we

543
00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:13,080
Speaker 1: all have this mutual friend and so they had this idea.

544
00:27:13,320 --> 00:27:15,719
Speaker 4: And you know, we were down for but then you know,

545
00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:18,159
Speaker 4: my ex he got like super busy.

546
00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:19,800
Speaker 1: I think he ended up going on tour around that time,

547
00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:22,080
Speaker 1: right or something like that, So the contracts didn't like

548
00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:25,640
Speaker 1: line up, so it was pretty much just like wrong

549
00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:29,600
Speaker 1: timing basically. And that's okay because I wasn't like pressed

550
00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:31,760
Speaker 1: to be you know, have to do it right now.

551
00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:33,560
Speaker 3: You really wasn't. And that's the thing.

552
00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:37,040
Speaker 2: You're not thirsty because if anything, and I'm gonna be

553
00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:39,200
Speaker 2: real with y'all, I was a thirsty one, like, no,

554
00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:42,159
Speaker 2: we gotta make it. Crystal would be like, Carlos, I

555
00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:45,320
Speaker 2: got this going on. This money ain't that much, but whatever.

556
00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:46,919
Speaker 2: I love you and I trust you, and I know

557
00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:50,520
Speaker 2: I'm gonna make money outside of the show. But you

558
00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:54,119
Speaker 2: never once was thirsty about this. It was sort of like,

559
00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:56,320
Speaker 2: if it happens, it happens. If it doesn't, it doesn't,

560
00:27:56,760 --> 00:27:59,080
Speaker 2: my life is still gonna be my life. And then

561
00:27:59,119 --> 00:28:02,320
Speaker 2: we were able to do Behind every Man together because

562
00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:05,879
Speaker 2: again we developed a friendship at that point. She and

563
00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:10,520
Speaker 2: I spoke several days before because that show was Kristal

564
00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:13,760
Speaker 2: revealing things about her past and her childhood that she

565
00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:17,199
Speaker 2: never once said before. And for me, it was to

566
00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:20,199
Speaker 2: show the world that, like you said earlier, this is

567
00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:24,040
Speaker 2: not some homewrecker. I want the world to see who

568
00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:24,720
Speaker 2: you are, which.

569
00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:27,119
Speaker 3: Is why I also embody you on my podcast.

570
00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:32,119
Speaker 2: Why do you think this homewreckerd title came about?

571
00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:37,399
Speaker 1: So, you know, not to say that people don't like

572
00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:40,560
Speaker 1: really think about things. People don't realize. Like, when you

573
00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:43,800
Speaker 1: shoot a show, it's usually shot, it's usually like aired

574
00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:45,640
Speaker 1: the next year, you know what I'm saying.

575
00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:47,800
Speaker 4: And so I think the timing.

576
00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:52,160
Speaker 1: Of my ex, like telling people that we were a

577
00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:57,520
Speaker 1: thing or whatever, was when his ex's show came out.

578
00:28:57,680 --> 00:28:59,280
Speaker 4: She shot that show like the year before.

579
00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:03,320
Speaker 1: They hadn't been together a year plus since, you know,

580
00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:06,440
Speaker 1: before I had met him, So people not like thinking

581
00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:06,920
Speaker 1: about that.

582
00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:09,240
Speaker 4: They're thinking, damn, this show just came out.

583
00:29:09,560 --> 00:29:11,440
Speaker 1: They just said that they were together like a week ago,

584
00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:15,200
Speaker 1: so they just figure that I took him.

585
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:16,440
Speaker 4: From her, which is not the case. I didn't even

586
00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:17,480
Speaker 4: know him when they were together.

587
00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:21,880
Speaker 1: So at that point, it's just like, I hate that

588
00:29:21,920 --> 00:29:24,720
Speaker 1: people think that. But over the years and now at

589
00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:26,520
Speaker 1: this point, I don't really care what they think because

590
00:29:26,560 --> 00:29:28,800
Speaker 1: I know he knows, she knows, and God knows, and

591
00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:29,720
Speaker 1: that's really yeah.

592
00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:31,960
Speaker 2: And what we learned on the show was the fact

593
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:39,680
Speaker 2: that this man, your ex, he approached you he sought

594
00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:42,880
Speaker 2: you out, He had his team reached out and said,

595
00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:45,280
Speaker 2: I want to meet this girl. You know, his intention

596
00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:47,720
Speaker 2: that he said to you was like, oh, be my

597
00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:53,000
Speaker 2: music video. And what was funny is you realize after

598
00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:56,840
Speaker 2: meeting him that, okay, he was interested. And what I

599
00:29:56,880 --> 00:29:59,680
Speaker 2: loved about the story between you and him was the

600
00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:04,160
Speaker 2: fact that you gave him like, not a hard time,

601
00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:07,960
Speaker 2: but you weren't pressed, you weren't thirsty, and that's what

602
00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:10,360
Speaker 2: made him like you even more because you were sort

603
00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:12,560
Speaker 2: of like, honey, I'm.

604
00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:15,040
Speaker 3: In this business, I know what this is about. I'm good.

605
00:30:15,520 --> 00:30:19,800
Speaker 2: I've heard stories. I'm not that person. And what's interesting

606
00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:23,600
Speaker 2: is I just heard Steve Harvey talk about this on

607
00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:28,440
Speaker 2: his Instagram page. When Marjorie, his now wife, when they

608
00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:33,800
Speaker 2: were dating, he pushed on up on her and she

609
00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:36,760
Speaker 2: overheard him talking to another woman on the phone and

610
00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:38,840
Speaker 2: she packed her bags and I was like, I'm actually gonna

611
00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:42,840
Speaker 2: leave and call me when you're ready, and he took

612
00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:44,800
Speaker 2: his flip phone and broke it and said, I'm ready.

613
00:30:44,800 --> 00:30:48,800
Speaker 2: Now talk to us about that, because again, I wanted

614
00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:51,320
Speaker 2: to spell all these rumors that you was somebody clout

615
00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:54,480
Speaker 2: chasing or anything like that, like that's not even the case.

616
00:30:54,840 --> 00:30:55,560
Speaker 4: No, not at all.

617
00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:57,880
Speaker 1: So you know, I'm not gonna lie that he hadn't

618
00:30:57,920 --> 00:30:59,720
Speaker 1: ever hopped in my dms before, but I had never,

619
00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:03,320
Speaker 1: so I guess he figured this is the next avenue

620
00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:03,600
Speaker 1: that I.

621
00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:05,120
Speaker 4: Have to go through to get to her.

622
00:31:05,680 --> 00:31:08,800
Speaker 1: So his team reached out, booked me for a job,

623
00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:11,000
Speaker 1: all that kind of stuff, and then like he wanted

624
00:31:11,040 --> 00:31:13,600
Speaker 1: to meet before the job, and I was like, I've

625
00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:16,320
Speaker 1: never had to meet the artists before a job.

626
00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:17,440
Speaker 4: I to show up, they tell me what to do,

627
00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:18,520
Speaker 4: and I do it, you know.

628
00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:21,280
Speaker 1: So we ended up meeting after I set him up

629
00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:24,040
Speaker 1: a couple of times or whatever, and then it went

630
00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:27,440
Speaker 1: from like talking about the job to like, now we

631
00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:31,120
Speaker 1: talk about personal stuff, and we just kind of like

632
00:31:31,320 --> 00:31:33,160
Speaker 1: we ended up clicking and stuff, and we just have

633
00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:35,400
Speaker 1: really honest conversations because I prefer the.

634
00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:36,200
Speaker 4: Truth, you know.

635
00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:39,320
Speaker 1: And when we decided that we were going to like

636
00:31:39,320 --> 00:31:42,640
Speaker 1: make it official, what he did do that no one

637
00:31:42,720 --> 00:31:44,480
Speaker 1: else had done before was he stuned in front of me.

638
00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:46,000
Speaker 4: I mean it took a couple days.

639
00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:48,720
Speaker 1: Probably like three four days, but he called every woman

640
00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:52,080
Speaker 1: that he was dealing with at that time and told them, hey,

641
00:31:52,360 --> 00:31:55,320
Speaker 1: I'm in a relationship, and I want you to respect that,

642
00:31:55,400 --> 00:31:57,400
Speaker 1: So I mean, you can't continue whatever like he did

643
00:31:57,400 --> 00:31:58,720
Speaker 1: that in front of me, you know what I'm saying.

644
00:31:58,760 --> 00:32:01,720
Speaker 1: So that for me was like, Okay, I can give

645
00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:03,240
Speaker 1: this like a serious chance.

646
00:32:04,280 --> 00:32:06,520
Speaker 4: Three babies later, I mean, y'all know how that went.

647
00:32:06,560 --> 00:32:10,040
Speaker 1: But it was a reason why I decided to like

648
00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:11,720
Speaker 1: be with him like that, you know, because in the

649
00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:14,840
Speaker 1: beginning he showed me everything that you're supposed to show

650
00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:16,160
Speaker 1: someone that you're serious.

651
00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:20,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I was privy to y'all relationship. I was

652
00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:23,360
Speaker 2: around you guys a lot, and I saw the love

653
00:32:23,800 --> 00:32:27,120
Speaker 2: and I saw the fact that he was somebody who

654
00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:29,640
Speaker 2: supported you, and you supported him, you held him down.

655
00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:33,160
Speaker 2: And we all know the story about during the pandemic,

656
00:32:33,720 --> 00:32:36,520
Speaker 2: things weren't in the best place for the two of you,

657
00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:39,920
Speaker 2: but the pandemic forced him to not have to go

658
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:43,640
Speaker 2: on tour to stay home and you two were working

659
00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:48,960
Speaker 2: on the marriage at that time, which was successfully working

660
00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:52,760
Speaker 2: out for you too. Fast forward to now, obviously, look this,

661
00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:56,160
Speaker 2: I just want my listeners to know me, Chris O'Neill,

662
00:32:56,360 --> 00:32:58,520
Speaker 2: our family and at the end of the day, that

663
00:32:58,640 --> 00:33:00,719
Speaker 2: is the father of her kids. And this isn't a

664
00:33:00,760 --> 00:33:04,200
Speaker 2: situation of bashing anybody, it's just having an honest conversation

665
00:33:04,360 --> 00:33:06,840
Speaker 2: because I feel like, based on what's been happening in

666
00:33:06,880 --> 00:33:09,040
Speaker 2: the press lately, a lot of people have all of

667
00:33:09,080 --> 00:33:12,120
Speaker 2: these assumptions about you, and I reach out to you

668
00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:14,760
Speaker 2: because I want people to know this too. I reach

669
00:33:14,840 --> 00:33:17,440
Speaker 2: out to Christal to say, let's just have a conversation

670
00:33:17,600 --> 00:33:21,440
Speaker 2: because I'm so protective of you that I know what

671
00:33:21,520 --> 00:33:24,800
Speaker 2: people may think is going on or not, not saying

672
00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:27,080
Speaker 2: that I know everything, but what I do know is

673
00:33:27,560 --> 00:33:30,240
Speaker 2: there was love there at some point, so much so

674
00:33:31,280 --> 00:33:34,080
Speaker 2: I was invited to the baby shower. You guys had

675
00:33:34,080 --> 00:33:37,520
Speaker 2: a Bober Newle in Las Vegas a few months ago.

676
00:33:37,920 --> 00:33:40,720
Speaker 2: Neani Leeks was there, Melody Holt was there because these

677
00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:43,520
Speaker 2: are your friends too, and we just thought, like yes,

678
00:33:43,760 --> 00:33:49,200
Speaker 2: like love wins again. Obviously, listen, say what you want

679
00:33:49,240 --> 00:33:53,280
Speaker 2: to say about the situation, But what happened to where

680
00:33:53,320 --> 00:33:56,920
Speaker 2: we saw this bower Newle and then we saw you

681
00:33:57,440 --> 00:34:04,520
Speaker 2: post on Instagram that you're ex was allegedly in situations

682
00:34:04,560 --> 00:34:07,320
Speaker 2: with other women and possibly another child.

683
00:34:07,880 --> 00:34:09,879
Speaker 1: Okay, so I will say this because I'm not gonna

684
00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:12,719
Speaker 1: say much, but you are in a relationship you love

685
00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:17,719
Speaker 1: someone and you think that your relationship is this way right,

686
00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:21,680
Speaker 1: and you think it's flowers and hearts and glitter falling

687
00:34:21,719 --> 00:34:24,160
Speaker 1: from the sky, whatever you want to call it. And

688
00:34:24,280 --> 00:34:28,360
Speaker 1: we had a great relationship, great you know, energy, everything.

689
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:31,920
Speaker 1: So when I found out that that wasn't the case,

690
00:34:32,960 --> 00:34:35,239
Speaker 1: it was like for me, I'm never gonna be in

691
00:34:35,280 --> 00:34:37,279
Speaker 1: a relationship. I don't care who you are, what you have,

692
00:34:37,760 --> 00:34:39,280
Speaker 1: what you've accomplished in life where.

693
00:34:39,080 --> 00:34:40,279
Speaker 4: I'm not being respected.

694
00:34:40,640 --> 00:34:42,760
Speaker 1: Now I'm not saying that he disrespected me in my face,

695
00:34:42,800 --> 00:34:47,799
Speaker 1: because that ain't never happened. But people sometimes when they

696
00:34:47,840 --> 00:34:50,000
Speaker 1: go outside the house, they live a different life. And

697
00:34:50,080 --> 00:34:52,160
Speaker 1: once I found out about that different life, for me,

698
00:34:52,280 --> 00:34:56,080
Speaker 1: the only choice and option for myself was to leave.

699
00:34:56,239 --> 00:34:57,799
Speaker 4: You know, I don't wish any battle his life. I

700
00:34:57,840 --> 00:34:58,799
Speaker 4: pray for him every day.

701
00:34:58,960 --> 00:35:02,200
Speaker 1: I wish him the best, but there are certain things

702
00:35:02,239 --> 00:35:05,000
Speaker 1: that for me just once you cross that line, I'm

703
00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:05,840
Speaker 1: not gonna accept.

704
00:35:06,320 --> 00:35:08,920
Speaker 4: And the only reason why I put that post.

705
00:35:08,680 --> 00:35:11,439
Speaker 1: And honestly I regretted it, but I did it because one,

706
00:35:11,480 --> 00:35:13,640
Speaker 1: you know, I don't talk about our business like my

707
00:35:13,719 --> 00:35:18,200
Speaker 1: personal relationship business, but it was more for like accountability

708
00:35:18,640 --> 00:35:21,040
Speaker 1: like for me, because I did that it was like

709
00:35:21,080 --> 00:35:24,120
Speaker 1: one to show him like I'm really serious, I'm really leaving,

710
00:35:24,520 --> 00:35:27,120
Speaker 1: and two for me to be like, Okay, I put

711
00:35:27,120 --> 00:35:27,520
Speaker 1: this up.

712
00:35:27,640 --> 00:35:29,759
Speaker 4: I put my business out there, so I.

713
00:35:29,719 --> 00:35:32,560
Speaker 1: Can't be dumb and fall back into a trap or

714
00:35:32,640 --> 00:35:36,400
Speaker 1: back into the same pattern. Because now everything that I

715
00:35:36,440 --> 00:35:38,720
Speaker 1: represent as a woman, and what I want to show

716
00:35:38,800 --> 00:35:43,360
Speaker 1: women is that you can't accept just anything that someone

717
00:35:43,400 --> 00:35:45,759
Speaker 1: gives you, like you're the good thing. You deserve to

718
00:35:45,760 --> 00:35:47,919
Speaker 1: be treated the right way, whether it's in your face

719
00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:50,560
Speaker 1: or behind your back. And so a lot of times

720
00:35:50,640 --> 00:35:54,160
Speaker 1: I feel like women that are with men in this industry,

721
00:35:54,760 --> 00:35:57,040
Speaker 1: they accept a lot, they take a lot, they tolerate

722
00:35:57,080 --> 00:35:59,200
Speaker 1: a lot because of who that person is.

723
00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:02,759
Speaker 4: Or a life style that they provide. And what I.

724
00:36:02,719 --> 00:36:05,960
Speaker 1: Want to show women is that you should get out

725
00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:08,439
Speaker 1: if you feel that way, no matter what someone has.

726
00:36:08,520 --> 00:36:11,640
Speaker 1: Your self worth, your health, your life, your happiness, your

727
00:36:11,680 --> 00:36:14,960
Speaker 1: mental health, all of that is more important than a lifestyle.

728
00:36:15,320 --> 00:36:17,239
Speaker 1: You have to think more of yourself in which I

729
00:36:17,320 --> 00:36:21,200
Speaker 1: absolutely do to get away from someone that doesn't see

730
00:36:21,239 --> 00:36:23,239
Speaker 1: you for who you are. It doesn't treat you the

731
00:36:23,280 --> 00:36:26,640
Speaker 1: way you're supposed to be treated. And if I want

732
00:36:26,640 --> 00:36:30,560
Speaker 1: to be anything, it's the example of being strong. Like,

733
00:36:30,560 --> 00:36:33,200
Speaker 1: don't get me wrong, it hurts like my heart is broken,

734
00:36:33,239 --> 00:36:35,200
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, Because that's someone I thought

735
00:36:35,239 --> 00:36:38,879
Speaker 1: I was gonna spend forever with. But who I am

736
00:36:38,920 --> 00:36:43,279
Speaker 1: spending forever with is myself and my children. And who

737
00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:46,040
Speaker 1: I have to set a good example for are my children.

738
00:36:46,400 --> 00:36:48,600
Speaker 1: And so I wanted my kids to grow up and

739
00:36:48,760 --> 00:36:51,200
Speaker 1: I have a daughter to grow up and know to

740
00:36:51,239 --> 00:36:54,160
Speaker 1: not accept just anything from anyone, and my sons to

741
00:36:54,280 --> 00:36:57,839
Speaker 1: know I will be your ass if you ever treat

742
00:36:57,880 --> 00:37:00,359
Speaker 1: a woman like that. So for me, it wasn't an

743
00:37:00,360 --> 00:37:02,960
Speaker 1: easy decision, but it was an easy decision, you know

744
00:37:02,960 --> 00:37:04,680
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, because I've always known who I am,

745
00:37:05,080 --> 00:37:08,200
Speaker 1: what I deserve, and what I deserve to be treated

746
00:37:08,239 --> 00:37:10,239
Speaker 1: like with someone, And if you're not serving me in

747
00:37:10,239 --> 00:37:11,560
Speaker 1: that way, then I gotta go.

748
00:37:11,960 --> 00:37:14,920
Speaker 2: And I'm glad you you brought up something that I

749
00:37:15,040 --> 00:37:17,640
Speaker 2: know for you to be, which is you are very

750
00:37:17,680 --> 00:37:22,480
Speaker 2: private and you don't tell your business. So when I

751
00:37:22,520 --> 00:37:25,239
Speaker 2: saw the post on Instagram, I'm like, this ain't the

752
00:37:25,280 --> 00:37:29,319
Speaker 2: crystal that I know because miss Thing keeps everything close

753
00:37:29,320 --> 00:37:31,799
Speaker 2: to her chest. I mean, you and I have personal conversations,

754
00:37:31,800 --> 00:37:34,920
Speaker 2: but that's personal. But to see that display on Instagram,

755
00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:38,520
Speaker 2: I was too surprised. And you're a virgo, and one

756
00:37:38,560 --> 00:37:42,160
Speaker 2: thing I know about virgos, y'all don't like to talk

757
00:37:42,160 --> 00:37:45,880
Speaker 2: about your business. And when I saw that, for me,

758
00:37:46,440 --> 00:37:50,160
Speaker 2: I felt that, whatever is going on with my girl,

759
00:37:50,400 --> 00:37:53,120
Speaker 2: this must be she must be at her wits end,

760
00:37:53,520 --> 00:37:56,560
Speaker 2: like and I think it's one of those things when

761
00:37:56,560 --> 00:37:59,320
Speaker 2: you look at waiting to exhil and how angela Bassett

762
00:37:59,360 --> 00:38:01,759
Speaker 2: character just got to close up the closet and burn

763
00:38:01,840 --> 00:38:09,239
Speaker 2: the shit on fire, you know what I'm saying.

764
00:38:08,880 --> 00:38:12,719
Speaker 3: So to me, Crystal, I was like.

765
00:38:14,160 --> 00:38:20,200
Speaker 2: She had a blackout moment and said, fuck it, that's

766
00:38:20,200 --> 00:38:21,759
Speaker 2: what I got from it?

767
00:38:21,800 --> 00:38:24,080
Speaker 3: Is that safe to say, like you just whatever was.

768
00:38:24,080 --> 00:38:25,480
Speaker 2: Going on at that time, which you don't have to

769
00:38:25,480 --> 00:38:28,360
Speaker 2: talk about, but did you just have like a blackout.

770
00:38:27,960 --> 00:38:29,759
Speaker 3: Moment where you just at your wits end?

771
00:38:30,320 --> 00:38:30,560
Speaker 4: You know?

772
00:38:31,360 --> 00:38:34,480
Speaker 1: Honestly, I'm gonna be one hundred it wasn't a blackout moment.

773
00:38:34,520 --> 00:38:37,960
Speaker 1: And throughout this whole situation, I've been known to like

774
00:38:38,440 --> 00:38:41,480
Speaker 1: go crazy. I didn't and I still haven't, and I

775
00:38:41,480 --> 00:38:45,160
Speaker 1: don't know about what this situation is. But like I'm

776
00:38:45,200 --> 00:38:47,719
Speaker 1: a god fearing woman and I pray and all day.

777
00:38:47,760 --> 00:38:49,400
Speaker 1: God walks with me all day and I speak to

778
00:38:49,480 --> 00:38:52,200
Speaker 1: him all day. And when I felt something wasn't right,

779
00:38:53,360 --> 00:38:56,160
Speaker 1: I got on my knees and I prayed to reveal

780
00:38:56,200 --> 00:38:58,520
Speaker 1: to me what needed to be revealed, and Baber did

781
00:38:58,560 --> 00:39:03,239
Speaker 1: he reveal it so oh for me. Once we had

782
00:39:03,239 --> 00:39:07,560
Speaker 1: a conversation and it was like, okay, what's about to happen?

783
00:39:08,080 --> 00:39:10,960
Speaker 4: And it wasn't. When people get.

784
00:39:10,760 --> 00:39:15,080
Speaker 1: Caught, they kind of like, instead of like being remorseful,

785
00:39:15,440 --> 00:39:18,200
Speaker 1: they'd want to try to find a scapegoat. And I

786
00:39:18,280 --> 00:39:20,319
Speaker 1: just wasn't going for it. And it was just one night.

787
00:39:20,360 --> 00:39:24,600
Speaker 1: It was just like, you know what, I'm cool, Like,

788
00:39:24,640 --> 00:39:26,640
Speaker 1: I'm good. I don't know what my future holds for me,

789
00:39:27,040 --> 00:39:30,080
Speaker 1: but what I do know is you won't be included

790
00:39:30,080 --> 00:39:31,799
Speaker 1: in it, and I don't want to feel like this

791
00:39:32,200 --> 00:39:35,000
Speaker 1: ever again. If I continue to be with you, I

792
00:39:35,040 --> 00:39:37,520
Speaker 1: will feel like this. So I knew in that moment

793
00:39:37,600 --> 00:39:40,319
Speaker 1: I just had to just walk away. So it was

794
00:39:41,320 --> 00:39:42,960
Speaker 1: it was serious. When a person says to you they

795
00:39:42,920 --> 00:39:45,480
Speaker 1: don't have to fear of you leaving them, it's like, okay,

796
00:39:46,120 --> 00:39:48,839
Speaker 1: let me just show you. So I just had to

797
00:39:48,920 --> 00:39:52,440
Speaker 1: like make a stand for myself and since that moment,

798
00:39:52,600 --> 00:39:57,640
Speaker 1: I have been calm. I haven't yelled, argued, screams any

799
00:39:57,640 --> 00:39:59,040
Speaker 1: of that, because it serves no purpose.

800
00:39:59,040 --> 00:39:59,880
Speaker 4: Once I don't want to sit you.

801
00:40:00,880 --> 00:40:03,200
Speaker 1: I'm about to take the emotion out of it so

802
00:40:03,239 --> 00:40:04,680
Speaker 1: that I can can just walk away.

803
00:40:05,280 --> 00:40:07,320
Speaker 4: And I've been you know, children, I have my moments,

804
00:40:07,320 --> 00:40:08,000
Speaker 4: you know what I'm saying.

805
00:40:08,400 --> 00:40:11,400
Speaker 1: But they're getting further and further apart because every day

806
00:40:11,400 --> 00:40:13,880
Speaker 1: I'm waking up with more peace in my spirit that

807
00:40:13,960 --> 00:40:16,759
Speaker 1: I made the right choice and that is invaluable to me.

808
00:40:17,200 --> 00:40:20,719
Speaker 3: Is there a world to where.

809
00:40:22,040 --> 00:40:25,000
Speaker 2: Forgiveness can happen and a reconciliation can happen.

810
00:40:25,640 --> 00:40:26,080
Speaker 4: I'm sorry.

811
00:40:30,360 --> 00:40:35,279
Speaker 2: So one thing we know about men, Let's have a

812
00:40:35,320 --> 00:40:39,400
Speaker 2: real conversation, Crystal. One thing we know about men in

813
00:40:39,440 --> 00:40:43,360
Speaker 2: the industry, whether they're a rapper, a singer, an athlete,

814
00:40:43,520 --> 00:40:48,360
Speaker 2: or whatever, most of them have the ego the size

815
00:40:48,800 --> 00:40:55,560
Speaker 2: of Bigfoot. You know, they have a big ego. And

816
00:40:55,680 --> 00:41:00,680
Speaker 2: sometimes these men feel like I have giving you this

817
00:41:00,760 --> 00:41:04,799
Speaker 2: amazing lifestyle. You don't have to work, you have a

818
00:41:04,840 --> 00:41:09,600
Speaker 2: credit card that's limitless. I'm able to give you this

819
00:41:09,640 --> 00:41:14,000
Speaker 2: big house, these nice cars, he's fancy jewelry, And sometimes

820
00:41:14,120 --> 00:41:17,880
Speaker 2: these men feel like, if I'm able to give you

821
00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:22,239
Speaker 2: that you should then they should be there. Yes, but

822
00:41:22,280 --> 00:41:25,399
Speaker 2: I'm gonna gag you. I'm gonna gag you. A lot

823
00:41:25,400 --> 00:41:29,319
Speaker 2: of women also feel that way. That girl, if you

824
00:41:29,880 --> 00:41:32,560
Speaker 2: chilling and have a good life, if this man want

825
00:41:32,600 --> 00:41:36,320
Speaker 2: to stick his dick in something allegedly or or whatever,

826
00:41:37,040 --> 00:41:40,640
Speaker 2: then girl, turn turn the other cheek.

827
00:41:40,400 --> 00:41:42,799
Speaker 3: And keep it moving. What do you say to women

828
00:41:42,840 --> 00:41:43,560
Speaker 3: who think that way?

829
00:41:43,719 --> 00:41:45,400
Speaker 4: I'm glad, I'm glad you asked that question.

830
00:41:46,160 --> 00:41:49,840
Speaker 1: So in the beginning of all of this and I

831
00:41:49,840 --> 00:41:52,560
Speaker 1: put that post, and even now to this day, the

832
00:41:52,680 --> 00:41:58,560
Speaker 1: amount of women I'm so disappointed that encouraged me to

833
00:41:58,600 --> 00:42:01,200
Speaker 1: stay instead those same to me, women that are like

834
00:42:01,239 --> 00:42:03,880
Speaker 1: I've been in my marriage twenty years, thirty years and

835
00:42:03,920 --> 00:42:05,799
Speaker 1: all of this and this is what happens, and just

836
00:42:05,840 --> 00:42:08,080
Speaker 1: accept it or get you somebody on the side, or

837
00:42:08,200 --> 00:42:09,560
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, as long as he paying

838
00:42:09,560 --> 00:42:09,799
Speaker 1: for this.

839
00:42:10,160 --> 00:42:11,080
Speaker 4: You got me fucked up.

840
00:42:11,719 --> 00:42:14,560
Speaker 1: And I'm sorry that at your old age that you

841
00:42:14,600 --> 00:42:17,560
Speaker 1: are still dealing with that and you don't respect yourself

842
00:42:17,640 --> 00:42:18,800
Speaker 1: enough to walk the fuck away.

843
00:42:19,080 --> 00:42:20,399
Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying for.

844
00:42:20,480 --> 00:42:23,400
Speaker 1: Me, I don't care what you have because when I

845
00:42:23,480 --> 00:42:25,239
Speaker 1: wasn't a broke bitch when you met me.

846
00:42:25,520 --> 00:42:27,360
Speaker 4: I was making great money, you know what I'm saying.

847
00:42:27,719 --> 00:42:29,600
Speaker 4: So that is not a fear of mine.

848
00:42:29,719 --> 00:42:32,040
Speaker 1: I have a hustle spirit, so I don't care how

849
00:42:32,080 --> 00:42:33,640
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get it, but I'm gonna get it, you

850
00:42:33,640 --> 00:42:37,200
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. So there's no amount of money,

851
00:42:37,960 --> 00:42:44,360
Speaker 1: monetary material, nothing that is worth my fucking self respect.

852
00:42:44,760 --> 00:42:47,080
Speaker 1: My grandmother raised me, and she'd be turning over her

853
00:42:47,120 --> 00:42:49,919
Speaker 1: grave if she knew I was accepting something like that.

854
00:42:50,120 --> 00:42:52,320
Speaker 1: And it's just it's sad that a lot of these women,

855
00:42:52,320 --> 00:42:55,080
Speaker 1: they really feel like that, like you don't have enough

856
00:42:55,080 --> 00:42:58,879
Speaker 1: worth in yourself and belief in yourself that you can

857
00:42:58,920 --> 00:43:01,359
Speaker 1: get out and leave this person and figure out something else.

858
00:43:01,760 --> 00:43:03,799
Speaker 1: What it is to me, it says lazy, what it

859
00:43:03,840 --> 00:43:06,719
Speaker 1: is says I just I'll deal with whatever because he

860
00:43:06,760 --> 00:43:10,440
Speaker 1: pays my bills. I'm sorry not doing that. I'm not

861
00:43:10,480 --> 00:43:10,920
Speaker 1: doing that.

862
00:43:11,160 --> 00:43:12,200
Speaker 4: I don't care who you are.

863
00:43:12,520 --> 00:43:14,759
Speaker 1: And it's sad because I just really wish women will

864
00:43:14,800 --> 00:43:17,520
Speaker 1: wake up one day and realize their power that they have,

865
00:43:17,960 --> 00:43:20,120
Speaker 1: because just like a man could do it, so can you.

866
00:43:20,120 --> 00:43:20,800
Speaker 4: You see these.

867
00:43:20,640 --> 00:43:23,120
Speaker 1: Women on the Star Street with the little little orange

868
00:43:23,160 --> 00:43:24,480
Speaker 1: things on and be doing a construction.

869
00:43:25,120 --> 00:43:27,400
Speaker 4: The bitches are strong. They do the same job that

870
00:43:27,440 --> 00:43:28,080
Speaker 4: a man does.

871
00:43:28,440 --> 00:43:30,680
Speaker 1: So why you think and go to a meeting and

872
00:43:30,719 --> 00:43:32,160
Speaker 1: go do this and do all that the same thing

873
00:43:32,200 --> 00:43:34,200
Speaker 1: that the man does. You know what I'm saying, Like,

874
00:43:34,640 --> 00:43:36,160
Speaker 1: just because a man got a lot of money, don't

875
00:43:36,160 --> 00:43:37,120
Speaker 1: mean you can't have a lot of money.

876
00:43:37,160 --> 00:43:38,000
Speaker 4: You can make it yourself.

877
00:43:38,200 --> 00:43:40,759
Speaker 2: No, I agree with you, and your story reminds me

878
00:43:40,800 --> 00:43:43,399
Speaker 2: a lot of Melody Hope, who I know you're friends

879
00:43:43,480 --> 00:43:46,120
Speaker 2: with as well. She and I also have this conversation

880
00:43:46,200 --> 00:43:49,040
Speaker 2: because a lot of women told her she should stay

881
00:43:49,440 --> 00:43:53,160
Speaker 2: in her situation because they felt like girl a magna cheat.

882
00:43:53,280 --> 00:43:55,480
Speaker 2: So if a rich mag gon cheat on you, at

883
00:43:55,560 --> 00:43:58,200
Speaker 2: least you get to enjoy the lifestyle. But one thing

884
00:43:58,239 --> 00:44:00,920
Speaker 2: I do know about you is, again going back to

885
00:44:00,960 --> 00:44:03,839
Speaker 2: even how y'all met, you were never pressed, going back

886
00:44:03,840 --> 00:44:07,000
Speaker 2: to you working with Carlos King on a reality show,

887
00:44:07,719 --> 00:44:11,200
Speaker 2: you were not pressed about it. And I would never

888
00:44:11,560 --> 00:44:15,200
Speaker 2: even assume that you would stay in a situation that

889
00:44:15,320 --> 00:44:19,400
Speaker 2: you felt like wasn't serving you your greatest potential, because

890
00:44:19,440 --> 00:44:21,120
Speaker 2: at the end of the day, you're not pressed.

891
00:44:21,120 --> 00:44:23,600
Speaker 3: And one thing I want the world to know about you.

892
00:44:23,600 --> 00:44:24,800
Speaker 3: You made it this far.

893
00:44:26,160 --> 00:44:30,880
Speaker 2: Without the help of a man, So what makes anyone

894
00:44:31,000 --> 00:44:32,520
Speaker 2: think you can't do it.

895
00:44:32,440 --> 00:44:34,839
Speaker 1: Again because they didn't step out on the own and

896
00:44:34,880 --> 00:44:37,520
Speaker 1: have the strength to walk away. But like I said,

897
00:44:37,520 --> 00:44:40,279
Speaker 1: I'm not a conformist, and just because you want to

898
00:44:40,320 --> 00:44:43,440
Speaker 1: tell me your story doesn't mean that I'm gonna fall

899
00:44:43,520 --> 00:44:46,600
Speaker 1: I'm gonna follow that advice because you probably should take

900
00:44:46,640 --> 00:44:48,880
Speaker 1: some advice out of my book. I I just I

901
00:44:48,960 --> 00:44:51,080
Speaker 1: just don't understand it. I don't get it. Like when

902
00:44:51,120 --> 00:44:54,160
Speaker 1: you're now, when you get married, no one's perfect, No

903
00:44:54,200 --> 00:44:57,759
Speaker 1: one's perfect. So you go through things, you go through obstacles,

904
00:44:57,920 --> 00:45:00,280
Speaker 1: people make mistakes, and when you're married, it's like, oh, okay,

905
00:45:01,280 --> 00:45:05,200
Speaker 1: I can forgive this. I can forgive that we're starting fresh,

906
00:45:05,200 --> 00:45:08,680
Speaker 1: we're starting over. But when something becomes a pattern, that's

907
00:45:08,719 --> 00:45:09,400
Speaker 1: who you are.

908
00:45:10,000 --> 00:45:11,080
Speaker 4: That's not a mistake.

909
00:45:11,480 --> 00:45:15,080
Speaker 1: I can speak because from experience, I feel like when

910
00:45:15,120 --> 00:45:16,799
Speaker 1: they first make a mistake or the second time they

911
00:45:16,880 --> 00:45:19,280
Speaker 1: make a mistake, you kind of like lie to yourself

912
00:45:19,320 --> 00:45:23,760
Speaker 1: and play your mind to thinking that okay, that happened,

913
00:45:23,760 --> 00:45:25,759
Speaker 1: and now my life is perfect and now we're good,

914
00:45:25,960 --> 00:45:27,840
Speaker 1: and so now I can take a mad faced value

915
00:45:27,880 --> 00:45:29,920
Speaker 1: when really that's not the case. All they do is

916
00:45:30,000 --> 00:45:33,000
Speaker 1: learn how to get slicker. So I just I am

917
00:45:33,040 --> 00:45:34,799
Speaker 1: not a person that I want to go crazy. I

918
00:45:34,800 --> 00:45:36,799
Speaker 1: don't want to stress every time you walk out the

919
00:45:36,840 --> 00:45:38,920
Speaker 1: door or any of those kind of things like.

920
00:45:38,880 --> 00:45:41,439
Speaker 4: That's not a way to live at all.

921
00:45:42,000 --> 00:45:47,000
Speaker 1: That creates that Really like a person basically like lying

922
00:45:47,080 --> 00:45:49,480
Speaker 1: to you all the time, manipulating you all that, making

923
00:45:49,560 --> 00:45:51,680
Speaker 1: you think that another life is something, and then when

924
00:45:51,719 --> 00:45:54,480
Speaker 1: you confront them, they gaslight you and make you think

925
00:45:54,520 --> 00:45:54,960
Speaker 1: that you're crazy.

926
00:45:55,000 --> 00:45:57,600
Speaker 4: That's mental abuse, you know what I'm saying.

927
00:45:57,800 --> 00:46:01,759
Speaker 1: That's emotional abuse, because now you're looking at yourself and

928
00:46:01,800 --> 00:46:04,560
Speaker 1: you're feeling bad, and you're like, damn, what's wrong with

929
00:46:04,640 --> 00:46:07,040
Speaker 1: me that I can't I can't be trusting. I can't

930
00:46:07,280 --> 00:46:09,319
Speaker 1: I'm thinking this way and I'm thinking that way. No,

931
00:46:09,400 --> 00:46:12,000
Speaker 1: you're thinking that way because God is trying to tell

932
00:46:12,040 --> 00:46:14,480
Speaker 1: you something. Your intuition, it's trying to tell you something.

933
00:46:14,680 --> 00:46:16,600
Speaker 1: But then you got this person that's making you think

934
00:46:16,640 --> 00:46:19,880
Speaker 1: that you're crazy. So for me, I just got to

935
00:46:19,920 --> 00:46:20,640
Speaker 1: our living like that.

936
00:46:20,920 --> 00:46:24,200
Speaker 2: I'm just happy you were able to have the strength

937
00:46:24,200 --> 00:46:28,160
Speaker 2: to do it because I know that leaving any situation

938
00:46:28,200 --> 00:46:29,480
Speaker 2: when it involves your family.

939
00:46:29,560 --> 00:46:30,240
Speaker 3: Isn't easy.

940
00:46:30,760 --> 00:46:34,160
Speaker 2: And what was interesting is Vibica Fox on her show

941
00:46:34,360 --> 00:46:37,080
Speaker 2: made a comment. Not sure if you saw it, but

942
00:46:37,200 --> 00:46:39,640
Speaker 2: she obviously was like, go get counseling for yourself so

943
00:46:39,680 --> 00:46:42,000
Speaker 2: that you will know that you deserve a man to

944
00:46:42,040 --> 00:46:44,920
Speaker 2: treat you like a queen. Stop staying for the fame

945
00:46:45,080 --> 00:46:46,240
Speaker 2: and Instagram post.

946
00:46:46,680 --> 00:46:47,280
Speaker 4: You know, I.

947
00:46:47,160 --> 00:46:51,120
Speaker 1: Appreciate Vibica for, you know, trying to be supportive as

948
00:46:51,120 --> 00:46:54,400
Speaker 1: a woman, but it kind of was like, you're saying

949
00:46:54,440 --> 00:46:57,640
Speaker 1: misinformation because I wasn't waiting for an Instagram post or

950
00:46:57,640 --> 00:46:59,400
Speaker 1: for a lifestyle or for Chanelle bag.

951
00:46:59,239 --> 00:46:59,920
Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying.

952
00:47:00,160 --> 00:47:01,920
Speaker 1: And I didn't stay for that and I didn't accept

953
00:47:01,920 --> 00:47:05,600
Speaker 1: anything for that and definitely don't get no STDs.

954
00:47:05,760 --> 00:47:07,360
Speaker 4: Thank you God, you know what I'm saying.

955
00:47:07,680 --> 00:47:10,759
Speaker 1: But again, what she was trying to say, I'm just

956
00:47:10,760 --> 00:47:11,400
Speaker 1: not that girl.

957
00:47:11,719 --> 00:47:12,279
Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying.

958
00:47:12,520 --> 00:47:15,200
Speaker 1: I know my self worth and it just happened that

959
00:47:15,719 --> 00:47:18,920
Speaker 1: my marriage is public and so the breakup is public.

960
00:47:19,120 --> 00:47:19,719
Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying.

961
00:47:19,719 --> 00:47:21,920
Speaker 1: But I'm not one of those weak girls that is

962
00:47:21,960 --> 00:47:24,799
Speaker 1: just gonna fall for anything or accept anything for a

963
00:47:24,840 --> 00:47:25,880
Speaker 1: lifestyle period.

964
00:47:27,200 --> 00:47:30,400
Speaker 4: But thank you, Nibica. I appreciate it, but that's not me.

965
00:47:30,600 --> 00:47:34,399
Speaker 2: And lastly, what advice would you give women who are

966
00:47:34,560 --> 00:47:41,600
Speaker 2: currently in a marriage to where they just feel like, girl,

967
00:47:41,840 --> 00:47:45,760
Speaker 2: let me just stay because I have nothing to worry about.

968
00:47:46,239 --> 00:47:49,720
Speaker 2: But yes, when he leaves the house, my stomach hurts.

969
00:47:50,239 --> 00:47:54,040
Speaker 2: I'm constantly maybe checking his phone. I'm in a situation

970
00:47:54,200 --> 00:47:59,560
Speaker 2: to where my kids see that their mom is stressed.

971
00:48:00,120 --> 00:48:02,880
Speaker 4: Then guess what, you do have something to worry about.

972
00:48:03,200 --> 00:48:03,719
Speaker 4: Just because of.

973
00:48:03,640 --> 00:48:05,120
Speaker 1: How a roof is over your head and you can

974
00:48:05,160 --> 00:48:07,800
Speaker 1: take trips whenever you want, doesn't mean that that's a

975
00:48:07,840 --> 00:48:11,160
Speaker 1: stress free life because you're stressing yourself out. No one

976
00:48:11,200 --> 00:48:14,040
Speaker 1: deserves to live like that, No one that man. Because

977
00:48:14,360 --> 00:48:16,960
Speaker 1: stress and anxiety and manifests.

978
00:48:16,520 --> 00:48:19,239
Speaker 4: Into physical in medical And you.

979
00:48:19,160 --> 00:48:21,960
Speaker 1: Get stressed and you got highpertension, your hair's falling now,

980
00:48:22,040 --> 00:48:24,040
Speaker 1: your skin is bad. You can't eat, you ain't drinking

981
00:48:24,040 --> 00:48:26,640
Speaker 1: no water. That's something to worry about, you know what

982
00:48:26,680 --> 00:48:29,120
Speaker 1: I'm saying. And if you are okay with looking crazy

983
00:48:29,360 --> 00:48:31,839
Speaker 1: and stressed out and walking around the house, row ain't

984
00:48:31,840 --> 00:48:34,160
Speaker 1: bathing two days and your kids are driving you crazy

985
00:48:34,200 --> 00:48:35,320
Speaker 1: because you worried about.

986
00:48:35,040 --> 00:48:38,320
Speaker 4: What this man is doing, that's a problem. That's a problem.

987
00:48:38,520 --> 00:48:41,560
Speaker 1: That's a condition of your heart being broken, and you

988
00:48:41,560 --> 00:48:44,840
Speaker 1: don't even realize that it's broken because you're pacifying and

989
00:48:45,040 --> 00:48:48,120
Speaker 1: gluing these little pieces together in your heart with trips

990
00:48:48,239 --> 00:48:50,640
Speaker 1: and bags and shoes and jewelry and all that stuff

991
00:48:51,880 --> 00:48:54,640
Speaker 1: in your mind and your front. So you think that like, Okay,

992
00:48:54,680 --> 00:48:57,120
Speaker 1: I'm good, I'm fine, like it's working out, when you're

993
00:48:57,239 --> 00:48:58,160
Speaker 1: dying inside.

994
00:48:58,719 --> 00:49:00,280
Speaker 4: No one deserves to live like.

995
00:49:00,160 --> 00:49:04,560
Speaker 2: That, especially you, baby. So what's next for Crystal? Like

996
00:49:04,680 --> 00:49:10,320
Speaker 2: what can the world expect from you? Because I'm happy

997
00:49:10,360 --> 00:49:12,680
Speaker 2: to see that my girl with her red lips, honey,

998
00:49:12,800 --> 00:49:16,040
Speaker 2: is looking good, looking, refreshed, looking vibrant.

999
00:49:16,280 --> 00:49:17,640
Speaker 3: What's next for you, baby?

1000
00:49:18,200 --> 00:49:20,880
Speaker 1: Well, you know, we have the restaurant Johnny's Chicken and

1001
00:49:20,960 --> 00:49:24,920

Speaker 2: Well, I better be a part of one of them,

1008

Speaker 2: because I need to get you back on reality TV, honey,

1009

Speaker 2: I hope so.

Speaker 4: But you know, just make sure it's the cast is great.

1011

00:49:56,840 --> 00:49:59,439

00:50:09,920 --> 00:50:10,359
Speaker 3: pine girl.

1019
00:50:10,560 --> 00:50:18,480
Speaker 2: So is Crystal. Dating is Crystal? You know have men

00:50:18,480 --> 00:50:19,920
Speaker 2: been your dms Crystal lately?

1021
00:50:20,440 --> 00:50:27,240
Speaker 4: The wrong one the wrong ones?

1022
00:50:27,680 --> 00:50:28,960
Speaker 1: And then it's like, I'm gonna say this to you

1023
00:50:29,040 --> 00:50:31,840
Speaker 1: men when a woman is going through these type of things,

1024
00:50:32,200 --> 00:50:35,000
Speaker 1: like give her some time because right now you're gonna

1025
00:50:35,040 --> 00:50:37,799
Speaker 1: catch every piece of that ain't meant for you.

1026
00:50:38,280 --> 00:50:39,960
Speaker 4: So you know right now I'm just working on me.

1027
00:50:40,560 --> 00:50:43,840
Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying. Dating is not really on

1028
00:50:43,920 --> 00:50:46,359
Speaker 4: my radar. You know what I'm saying. I'm not saying

1029
00:50:46,360 --> 00:50:48,000
Speaker 4: that I don't hind a body manbe style every day.

1030
00:50:48,000 --> 00:50:50,239
Speaker 1: It might takes me a look good morning, but I'm

1031
00:50:50,280 --> 00:50:52,879
Speaker 1: not like physically out there.

1032
00:50:53,280 --> 00:50:54,040
Speaker 4: I ain't outside.

1033
00:50:54,160 --> 00:50:56,319
Speaker 2: You ain't outside. Although there's some men who wants to

1034
00:50:56,360 --> 00:50:58,239
Speaker 2: come inside, but leave it.

1035
00:51:02,480 --> 00:51:03,440
Speaker 4: This is the wrong.

1036
00:51:05,040 --> 00:51:05,359
Speaker 3: For them.

1037
00:51:08,560 --> 00:51:12,160
Speaker 1: But I will say, Crystal is not in love with

1038
00:51:12,360 --> 00:51:13,400
Speaker 1: anyone right now?

1039
00:51:13,640 --> 00:51:16,600
Speaker 3: Are you done dating men in the music industry?

1040
00:51:17,120 --> 00:51:20,560
Speaker 4: You know what? Only God knows.

1041
00:51:20,760 --> 00:51:22,560
Speaker 1: I have been saying that as of late, like I

1042
00:51:22,560 --> 00:51:25,040
Speaker 1: don't want anybody in industry and all that stuff because

1043
00:51:25,320 --> 00:51:27,400
Speaker 1: you never know what it comes with. But then on

1044
00:51:27,440 --> 00:51:30,000
Speaker 1: the other side of the coin, you can never say never.

1045
00:51:30,239 --> 00:51:34,040
Speaker 1: And then also the fact that, like you had said earlier, oh,

1046
00:51:34,120 --> 00:51:37,680
Speaker 1: all men cheat, I refuse to accept that and to

1047
00:51:37,680 --> 00:51:40,840
Speaker 1: believe that because maybe men have cheated and some of

1048
00:51:40,840 --> 00:51:42,279
Speaker 1: the men have learned their lesson.

1049
00:51:42,400 --> 00:51:44,799
Speaker 4: But I'm not going to accept that.

1050
00:51:45,080 --> 00:51:47,359
Speaker 1: Just this is just a part of life and being

1051
00:51:47,360 --> 00:51:49,960
Speaker 1: with someone, absolutely not, because if you cheat, I'm.

1052
00:51:49,800 --> 00:51:51,120
Speaker 4: Out, you know what I'm saying.

1053
00:51:51,440 --> 00:51:54,640
Speaker 1: So for me, I am an advocate for love and

1054
00:51:54,680 --> 00:51:57,600
Speaker 1: being in love and all those things. So whatever God

1055
00:51:57,640 --> 00:51:59,880
Speaker 1: has for me, I'm going to be open to it

1056
00:52:00,080 --> 00:52:03,839
Speaker 1: once I've healed. But for right now, I just want

1057
00:52:03,840 --> 00:52:05,719
Speaker 1: to have fun, you know what I'm saying. I don't

1058
00:52:05,719 --> 00:52:08,960
Speaker 1: want anything serious. I just want to enjoy life and

1059
00:52:09,000 --> 00:52:10,480
Speaker 1: whatever that may bring, I'm.

1060
00:52:10,360 --> 00:52:11,000
Speaker 4: Open to it.

1061
00:52:11,160 --> 00:52:13,839
Speaker 3: And you deserve the best. Baby. So Crystal, where can

1062
00:52:13,960 --> 00:52:17,319
Speaker 3: people find you? Follow you and support you? My love.

1063
00:52:17,880 --> 00:52:18,560
Speaker 4: Well, you know, I.

1064
00:52:18,480 --> 00:52:20,160
Speaker 1: Only really mess with Insta because I've got time to

1065
00:52:20,200 --> 00:52:23,959
Speaker 1: be on all them socials all days. You can find

1066
00:52:23,960 --> 00:52:26,880
Speaker 1: me on Instagram at It's crystals men. That's really the

1067
00:52:26,920 --> 00:52:28,400
Speaker 1: only social media I'm actually on.

1068
00:52:28,680 --> 00:52:33,759
Speaker 2: Well, thank you baby, and you guys may be seeing Crystal.

1069
00:52:34,880 --> 00:52:37,719
Speaker 3: On the tele bench of Green Sales. So anyways, I

1070
00:52:37,880 --> 00:52:41,959
Speaker 3: love you, baby, and I shall see you soon, my love, I.

1071
00:52:41,880 --> 00:52:42,319
Speaker 4: Love you too.

1072
00:52:42,400 --> 00:52:49,360
Speaker 1: It's always a pleasure to speak with you, baby.

1073
00:52:50,320 --> 00:52:52,279
Speaker 2: I can talk to Crystal all day. I love her

1074
00:52:52,280 --> 00:52:57,839
Speaker 2: so much. And the best part about this conversation was the.

1075
00:52:57,920 --> 00:52:59,560
Speaker 3: Advice that she gave.

1076
00:52:59,520 --> 00:53:05,719
Speaker 2: Women who choose to stay in relationships or marriages that

1077
00:53:05,880 --> 00:53:10,480
Speaker 2: doesn't serve the higher potential anymore. And that, to me

1078
00:53:10,760 --> 00:53:15,000
Speaker 2: is the lesson in all of this. Regardless of this

1079
00:53:15,040 --> 00:53:21,520
Speaker 2: person having money, or a lifestyle or a private jet, nothing, nothing,

1080
00:53:21,840 --> 00:53:24,960
Speaker 2: can be more important than your mental health. And the

1081
00:53:25,040 --> 00:53:28,879
Speaker 2: fact that Crystal decided to leave a situation that wasn't

1082
00:53:28,920 --> 00:53:32,160
Speaker 2: serving her because she wasn't being the best woman she

1083
00:53:32,200 --> 00:53:36,040
Speaker 2: could be through herself and her kids means the world

1084
00:53:36,040 --> 00:53:39,239
Speaker 2: to me. And what's so interesting is it reminds me

1085
00:53:39,320 --> 00:53:42,879
Speaker 2: a lot of Melody Chari from Love and marriage hunts Bill,

1086
00:53:43,320 --> 00:53:46,880
Speaker 2: who was also told to stay in her marriage just

1087
00:53:46,960 --> 00:53:50,160
Speaker 2: because that's what you're supposed to do. And I'm happy

1088
00:53:50,160 --> 00:53:53,000
Speaker 2: that we were able to have a deep conversation to

1089
00:53:53,040 --> 00:53:58,319
Speaker 2: where Crystals say like, no, if you're unhappy in your marriage,

1090
00:53:58,640 --> 00:54:05,680
