<v Speaker 2>beautiful light and somebody who I feel like is so misunderstood.

<v Speaker 2>I have like this big brother complex when it comes

0:02:26.520 --> 0:02:27.760
<v Speaker 2>to her because.

0:02:27.840 --> 0:02:30.040
<v Speaker 3>I feel like I need to protect her.

<v Speaker 2>And make sure that she's okay. I check in with

0:02:32.880 --> 0:02:34.919

<v Speaker 2>She is a reality star who's been on everything from

<v Speaker 3>she is just my girl.

0:02:51.480 --> 0:02:54.240
<v Speaker 2>She's been in the press a lot lately, and I

0:02:54.280 --> 0:02:57.560
<v Speaker 2>wanted to take this opportunity so that you all can

0:02:57.600 --> 0:03:00.640
<v Speaker 2>get to know the woman that I know. And I'm

0:03:00.639 --> 0:03:03.919
<v Speaker 2>talking about my sister Crystal Smith.

0:03:04.680 --> 0:03:06.640
<v Speaker 4>Okay, honey, how you doing, sweet cheek?

0:03:06.880 --> 0:03:08.359
<v Speaker 3>I'm good? Boo, how are you, my love?

0:03:08.840 --> 0:03:11.360
<v Speaker 4>I'm good, I'm good. I can't complain. I'm blessed. And

0:03:11.360 --> 0:03:12.120
<v Speaker 4>how they favored you?

0:03:12.200 --> 0:03:16.000
<v Speaker 2>Know that you are, that you are so look, I

0:03:16.040 --> 0:03:19.120
<v Speaker 2>wanted to talk to you because you are one of

0:03:19.160 --> 0:03:22.360
<v Speaker 2>my loves and I always feel like the world needs

0:03:22.400 --> 0:03:24.240
<v Speaker 2>to know the real Crystal.

0:03:24.560 --> 0:03:27.760
<v Speaker 3>Like this chick is a boss, she's.

0:03:27.639 --> 0:03:31.040
<v Speaker 2>Beautiful, but she also somebody who I know has been

0:03:31.080 --> 0:03:34.160
<v Speaker 2>through a lot. So let's start for the beginning, Chrystal,

0:03:34.240 --> 0:03:39.080
<v Speaker 2>in terms of do you feel like people misunderstanding who

0:03:39.120 --> 0:03:41.920
<v Speaker 2>you are and what do you feel it is that

0:03:42.040 --> 0:03:44.280
<v Speaker 2>they just think you're one thing, but you're not.

0:03:45.000 --> 0:03:48.560
<v Speaker 1>I definitely think that I misunderstood because you know, people

0:03:48.800 --> 0:03:51.360
<v Speaker 1>they read blogs, and just because it's in a blog,

0:03:51.400 --> 0:03:53.560
<v Speaker 1>they automatically assume that it's true and they never get

0:03:53.560 --> 0:03:55.920
<v Speaker 1>a story. And I don't really speak out about myself

0:03:55.920 --> 0:03:59.520
<v Speaker 1>to try to correct anybody. So one, I think the

0:03:59.520 --> 0:04:02.480
<v Speaker 1>biggest thing is like the home record thing, because definitely

0:04:02.480 --> 0:04:04.280
<v Speaker 1>ain't ever been that. Any men that I date is

0:04:04.320 --> 0:04:08.440
<v Speaker 1>absolutely single. And I think also just because I'm not

0:04:08.480 --> 0:04:11.320
<v Speaker 1>a conformist, you know, I don't go with the trends,

0:04:11.360 --> 0:04:14.800
<v Speaker 1>and just because people don't like you, I don't really

0:04:14.920 --> 0:04:15.400
<v Speaker 1>give a fuck.

0:04:16.360 --> 0:04:18.520
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, I.

0:04:18.440 --> 0:04:20.920
<v Speaker 1>Don't really care, you know what I'm saying, like, and

0:04:21.000 --> 0:04:23.800
<v Speaker 1>so I don't dance the beat if anybody's drum but

0:04:23.920 --> 0:04:26.839
<v Speaker 1>my own. So people take that in whatever way that

0:04:26.880 --> 0:04:28.680
<v Speaker 1>they do, and I don't really care.

0:04:28.839 --> 0:04:31.040
<v Speaker 4>So I don't know.

0:04:31.160 --> 0:04:33.520
<v Speaker 1>I just pushed through for me and my kids, and

0:04:33.720 --> 0:04:38.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm about my career, making money and accomplishment goals for myself,

0:04:38.200 --> 0:04:42.200
<v Speaker 1>and whether that is what everyone else bites doesn't matter,

0:04:42.520 --> 0:04:42.719
<v Speaker 1>you know.

0:04:43.240 --> 0:04:43.480
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:04:43.560 --> 0:04:45.839
<v Speaker 2>No, I love the fact that you are a woman

0:04:46.000 --> 0:04:49.120
<v Speaker 2>who stands on our own convictions, and you have the

0:04:49.160 --> 0:04:52.159
<v Speaker 2>type of personality that I want all of my reality

0:04:52.320 --> 0:04:55.440
<v Speaker 2>starts to have, which is you give zero fucks what

0:04:55.600 --> 0:04:57.400
<v Speaker 2>anyone has to say about you.

0:04:57.960 --> 0:04:59.480
<v Speaker 3>So where did that come from?

0:04:59.680 --> 0:04:59.880
<v Speaker 4>You know?

0:05:00.040 --> 0:05:02.880
<v Speaker 1>I grew up in the hood, So to be in

0:05:02.920 --> 0:05:07.440
<v Speaker 1>this lifestyle, this platform, to accomplish so much that in

0:05:07.440 --> 0:05:10.320
<v Speaker 1>itself is a blessing that for me, I feel accomplished.

0:05:10.680 --> 0:05:14.960
<v Speaker 4>I'm very level headed. I treat everyone with respect.

0:05:15.040 --> 0:05:19.479
<v Speaker 1>Until I'm disrespected, and I'm just grateful and I feel

0:05:19.480 --> 0:05:21.840
<v Speaker 1>blessed that I am who I am today.

0:05:21.880 --> 0:05:24.599
<v Speaker 4>I have three beautiful children. I can give them.

0:05:24.440 --> 0:05:28.760
<v Speaker 1>A beautiful lifestyle, and to me, that is life goals,

0:05:29.040 --> 0:05:31.880
<v Speaker 1>giving them what I didn't have. So anything else outside

0:05:31.920 --> 0:05:34.680
<v Speaker 1>of that is just extra. And if it's negative, I

0:05:34.720 --> 0:05:36.640
<v Speaker 1>don't really care, you know what I'm saying. As long

0:05:36.680 --> 0:05:40.839
<v Speaker 1>as it doesn't affect my household, my family, it doesn't matter.

0:05:41.040 --> 0:05:43.960
<v Speaker 4>So let that share roll off your shoulder, you know, oh.

0:05:43.839 --> 0:05:44.719
<v Speaker 3>One hundred percent.

0:05:44.800 --> 0:05:48.000
<v Speaker 2>And when I have to show on own Call Behind

0:05:48.040 --> 0:05:51.480
<v Speaker 2>every Man, it was about, you know, the powerful women,

0:05:52.040 --> 0:05:54.159
<v Speaker 2>the superstars behind.

0:05:53.920 --> 0:05:55.040
<v Speaker 3>Some of these celebrity men.

0:05:55.560 --> 0:05:58.520
<v Speaker 2>And that episode with you was one of our highest

0:05:58.560 --> 0:06:02.000
<v Speaker 2>rated episodes because the world got a chance to know

0:06:02.560 --> 0:06:07.839
<v Speaker 2>who Crystal was outside of her you know, relationship. And

0:06:08.240 --> 0:06:11.920
<v Speaker 2>you are somebody who started out in this industry being

0:06:11.960 --> 0:06:15.640
<v Speaker 2>a video model and worked her ass off to become

0:06:15.680 --> 0:06:18.679
<v Speaker 2>the self made woman you are today. Take us back

0:06:18.680 --> 0:06:20.640
<v Speaker 2>to how you got involved in this industry.

0:06:20.920 --> 0:06:22.840
<v Speaker 4>You know, it just kind of like happened.

0:06:23.720 --> 0:06:26.479
<v Speaker 1>Remember Black Men's Magazine and all that kind of stuff.

0:06:26.520 --> 0:06:30.599
<v Speaker 1>Way back then, they contacted me on Instagram to do

0:06:30.680 --> 0:06:35.039
<v Speaker 1>a photo shoot, and the photographer that was there, he

0:06:35.240 --> 0:06:36.880
<v Speaker 1>was like putting on a lot of the girls and

0:06:36.920 --> 0:06:40.120
<v Speaker 1>stuff back when hostings and all that stuff was just

0:06:40.160 --> 0:06:43.600
<v Speaker 1>like beginning. And so we did one photo shoot and

0:06:43.680 --> 0:06:47.320
<v Speaker 1>went viral the next week maybe I think I started

0:06:47.320 --> 0:06:51.400
<v Speaker 1>doing hostings and it got up to like ten bands whatever,

0:06:51.480 --> 0:06:52.920
<v Speaker 1>and so I was doing four or five of those

0:06:52.960 --> 0:06:56.360
<v Speaker 1>a week, you know, and it just went from there.

0:06:56.480 --> 0:07:01.200
<v Speaker 4>So, you know, I'm all about my coins, so I

0:07:01.880 --> 0:07:02.440
<v Speaker 4>was all for it.

0:07:02.520 --> 0:07:04.800
<v Speaker 1>You know, it just kind of happened overnight, literally, So

0:07:04.880 --> 0:07:08.919
<v Speaker 1>I went from you know, working a regular job to like,

0:07:09.040 --> 0:07:12.280
<v Speaker 1>now everybody knows who I am, making thousands of dollars

0:07:12.280 --> 0:07:14.480
<v Speaker 1>a week, and you know, that was a cool life

0:07:14.480 --> 0:07:14.680
<v Speaker 1>for me.

0:07:15.200 --> 0:07:16.960
<v Speaker 2>And what was cool about it is the fact that

0:07:17.160 --> 0:07:22.800
<v Speaker 2>you were somebody that kept getting asked by these musical artists,

0:07:22.840 --> 0:07:26.440
<v Speaker 2>these singers, these rappers to appear in that video, especially

0:07:26.440 --> 0:07:27.520
<v Speaker 2>at a time when.

0:07:28.320 --> 0:07:30.440
<v Speaker 3>Music videos were the hottest thing.

0:07:30.440 --> 0:07:34.760
<v Speaker 2>In the world, and you were able to appear in

0:07:34.800 --> 0:07:37.960
<v Speaker 2>some of our favorite artists music videos and then parlay

0:07:38.160 --> 0:07:42.520
<v Speaker 2>that into being this social media icon. So talk to

0:07:42.640 --> 0:07:45.600
<v Speaker 2>us about some of the videos you appeared in and

0:07:45.640 --> 0:07:49.720
<v Speaker 2>how that transition came into also getting paid for posting

0:07:49.760 --> 0:07:50.920
<v Speaker 2>pictures on Instagram.

0:07:51.320 --> 0:07:54.320
<v Speaker 1>Well, you know, everyone says the whole like video girl

0:07:54.360 --> 0:07:58.960
<v Speaker 1>thing but honestly, I had only done I think two

0:07:59.040 --> 0:08:02.120
<v Speaker 1>videos outside of my exis, so I wasn't really a

0:08:02.200 --> 0:08:02.920
<v Speaker 1>video girl.

0:08:03.200 --> 0:08:04.360
<v Speaker 4>I was just popping on the.

0:08:04.320 --> 0:08:06.440
<v Speaker 1>Ground with like my photo shoots and I was doing

0:08:06.520 --> 0:08:09.800
<v Speaker 1>hostings like that to me was every day money and

0:08:09.880 --> 0:08:12.400
<v Speaker 1>videos don't pay that much. So I had only done

0:08:13.200 --> 0:08:15.640
<v Speaker 1>two videos and you only saw like a glimpse of me.

0:08:15.680 --> 0:08:18.440
<v Speaker 1>It wasn't like a whole thing before, you know.

0:08:18.600 --> 0:08:20.160
<v Speaker 4>So I really wasn't a video girl.

0:08:21.480 --> 0:08:23.720
<v Speaker 2>But you also want somebody, like I said, who was

0:08:23.760 --> 0:08:26.360
<v Speaker 2>able to take the social media world to a new level,

0:08:26.400 --> 0:08:30.360
<v Speaker 2>because again, there's so much money to be made just

0:08:30.480 --> 0:08:33.960
<v Speaker 2>in terms of like posting and hosting, so talk to

0:08:34.080 --> 0:08:34.920
<v Speaker 2>us about that too.

0:08:35.240 --> 0:08:38.720
<v Speaker 1>So when it came to social media, I think like

0:08:39.720 --> 0:08:41.800
<v Speaker 1>I wasn't like a person. I've never been a person

0:08:41.840 --> 0:08:43.680
<v Speaker 1>that's in the streets, that's in the clubs all the time,

0:08:43.760 --> 0:08:45.040
<v Speaker 1>So nobody knew who I was.

0:08:45.080 --> 0:08:47.760
<v Speaker 4>I was just like this new girl on the scene,

0:08:47.840 --> 0:08:49.240
<v Speaker 4>and I don't know what it was like.

0:08:49.280 --> 0:08:51.920
<v Speaker 1>I speak my mind all the time, and not in

0:08:51.960 --> 0:08:53.520
<v Speaker 1>like a bad way, but I just keep it real.

0:08:53.600 --> 0:08:56.599
<v Speaker 1>And it just went from the photo shoots that I

0:08:56.600 --> 0:08:59.600
<v Speaker 1>would put online to the hostings and then just like

0:08:59.640 --> 0:09:02.480
<v Speaker 1>trying to you know, put that into making money and

0:09:02.480 --> 0:09:05.680
<v Speaker 1>monetizing on social media. So companies will reach out and

0:09:05.720 --> 0:09:07.680
<v Speaker 1>I would do stuff for them and get paid for it.

0:09:07.720 --> 0:09:09.120
<v Speaker 1>And it was just to me, it was just all

0:09:09.120 --> 0:09:12.200
<v Speaker 1>about like making the coin. And with that, you know,

0:09:12.280 --> 0:09:14.319
<v Speaker 1>you get your haters, but you also get your supporters,

0:09:14.480 --> 0:09:16.840
<v Speaker 1>and my support outweighed way outweigh the.

0:09:17.600 --> 0:09:18.640
<v Speaker 4>Negative, you know what I'm saying.

0:09:18.840 --> 0:09:20.280
<v Speaker 1>So it just kind of been a thing where like

0:09:20.360 --> 0:09:23.920
<v Speaker 1>women would like appreciate the fact that, like I kept

0:09:23.960 --> 0:09:26.880
<v Speaker 1>it real. No matter who you are or what you do,

0:09:26.920 --> 0:09:28.520
<v Speaker 1>you know what I'm saying, that does make you better

0:09:28.559 --> 0:09:31.040
<v Speaker 1>than anybody. And like women, you know, they gravitate towards

0:09:31.080 --> 0:09:33.640
<v Speaker 1>that confidence and strength, and that's all I ever try

0:09:33.640 --> 0:09:34.120
<v Speaker 1>to display.

0:09:34.640 --> 0:09:38.160
<v Speaker 2>You then went on to start in reality shows. So

0:09:38.320 --> 0:09:41.960
<v Speaker 2>the first reality show I remember was all about the

0:09:42.040 --> 0:09:46.400
<v Speaker 2>business on BT. It also start Eva Marcel, who we

0:09:46.480 --> 0:09:49.040
<v Speaker 2>know from Housewives, Top Model and now she has a

0:09:49.080 --> 0:09:52.440
<v Speaker 2>show on BT. Plus all the Queen's men talk to

0:09:52.520 --> 0:09:56.800
<v Speaker 2>us about that experience because you and Eva came on

0:09:56.800 --> 0:09:59.360
<v Speaker 2>the show together courtesy of you guys being best friends.

0:09:59.559 --> 0:10:02.360
<v Speaker 1>So that show, everyone that was in that show I

0:10:02.480 --> 0:10:04.720
<v Speaker 1>knew in real life. We all hung out, we all,

0:10:04.960 --> 0:10:06.600
<v Speaker 1>you know, had our little group of friends, and it

0:10:06.640 --> 0:10:09.559
<v Speaker 1>just kind of like made sense. And she used to

0:10:09.559 --> 0:10:12.280
<v Speaker 1>always tell me, like, Crystal, You're made for TV. You

0:10:12.280 --> 0:10:15.040
<v Speaker 1>have such a personality all this stuff, and honestly, I

0:10:15.120 --> 0:10:17.080
<v Speaker 1>was nervous. I was scared because, like, I know my

0:10:17.160 --> 0:10:19.080
<v Speaker 1>personality and I know when people.

0:10:19.280 --> 0:10:21.240
<v Speaker 4>Get on camera they changed.

0:10:21.440 --> 0:10:23.400
<v Speaker 1>So I've always been nervous about that because you never

0:10:23.440 --> 0:10:25.079
<v Speaker 1>know what your reaction is going to be until you

0:10:25.160 --> 0:10:28.200
<v Speaker 1>put in that situation. So She's always just pushed me

0:10:28.240 --> 0:10:30.280
<v Speaker 1>and motivated me to just you know, step out on my.

0:10:30.320 --> 0:10:34.720
<v Speaker 4>Own and doing that, it was it was an.

0:10:34.559 --> 0:10:37.240
<v Speaker 1>Experience, but I'm glad that I did it because it

0:10:37.240 --> 0:10:39.440
<v Speaker 1>did allow people to see me and get to know

0:10:39.520 --> 0:10:41.120
<v Speaker 1>me just a little bit, and it opened up a

0:10:41.160 --> 0:10:43.320
<v Speaker 1>lot more doors for me outside of TV, which I

0:10:43.360 --> 0:10:44.560
<v Speaker 1>was very grateful for.

0:10:45.080 --> 0:10:47.480
<v Speaker 3>Are you still friends with Eva Marcel?

0:10:47.840 --> 0:10:49.400
<v Speaker 4>Yes? Absolutely.

0:10:49.720 --> 0:10:53.600
<v Speaker 2>Were you around when all of these things came about

0:10:53.720 --> 0:10:57.320
<v Speaker 2>with her bridesmaid and this wedding fiasco that came when

0:10:57.360 --> 0:10:59.520
<v Speaker 2>people were accusing her of doing crazy things?

0:11:00.160 --> 0:11:02.520
<v Speaker 3>Were you a part of that whole bridal party situation?

0:11:02.920 --> 0:11:04.960
<v Speaker 1>I was one of her bridesmaids, but I was not

0:11:05.000 --> 0:11:07.000
<v Speaker 1>a part of that situation. I don't do mess when

0:11:07.000 --> 0:11:09.120
<v Speaker 1>it comes to friends, even if you were my friend

0:11:09.120 --> 0:11:11.120
<v Speaker 1>in the past, I don't get involved in that because

0:11:11.160 --> 0:11:12.720
<v Speaker 1>if I loved you at one point, I love you

0:11:12.760 --> 0:11:14.640
<v Speaker 1>now and I'm not gonna do the messy. So when

0:11:14.679 --> 0:11:16.280
<v Speaker 1>all of that was going on and they had their

0:11:16.280 --> 0:11:19.080
<v Speaker 1>little ponder rosa going on, I was there and I

0:11:19.160 --> 0:11:21.439
<v Speaker 1>left and I just stayed out of it, you know

0:11:21.480 --> 0:11:23.240
<v Speaker 1>what I'm saying. And I tried to support her as

0:11:23.280 --> 0:11:25.480
<v Speaker 1>best as I could, and you know, build her up

0:11:25.520 --> 0:11:26.880
<v Speaker 1>in that way and just let her know whatever people

0:11:26.880 --> 0:11:28.360
<v Speaker 1>gonna say, they're gonna say, and let her roll off

0:11:28.360 --> 0:11:28.680
<v Speaker 1>your back.

0:11:29.040 --> 0:11:33.280
<v Speaker 2>But yes, I remember that you are somebody who really

0:11:33.360 --> 0:11:36.520
<v Speaker 2>is a girl's girl. And I do feel like people

0:11:36.600 --> 0:11:38.920
<v Speaker 2>when they look at you, they just assume like, oh,

0:11:38.960 --> 0:11:41.439
<v Speaker 2>she's a mean girl, she's a bit she's this or that.

0:11:41.600 --> 0:11:43.680
<v Speaker 3>What's crazy is you're the total opposite.

0:11:43.760 --> 0:11:46.280
<v Speaker 2>So when you were around with that happening, what advice

0:11:46.320 --> 0:11:49.400
<v Speaker 2>would you give Eva? Knowing that at some point all

0:11:49.480 --> 0:11:52.200
<v Speaker 2>of you guys appear to just be like real friends

0:11:52.360 --> 0:11:55.600
<v Speaker 2>and to be able to have to deal with that

0:11:56.120 --> 0:11:57.640
<v Speaker 2>and the fact that I know you, I know they

0:11:57.640 --> 0:11:58.559
<v Speaker 2>have to be hard for you.

0:11:58.920 --> 0:12:02.400
<v Speaker 1>It was hard because it was like, I'm at a

0:12:02.440 --> 0:12:05.880
<v Speaker 1>place where I don't want to get involved. But for me,

0:12:06.160 --> 0:12:10.000
<v Speaker 1>it kind of angered me because I felt like, she's pregnant,

0:12:10.080 --> 0:12:12.599
<v Speaker 1>she's getting married, after everything that she's gone through in

0:12:12.640 --> 0:12:16.199
<v Speaker 1>her past relationships, Like this is her moment of happiness,

0:12:16.200 --> 0:12:18.040
<v Speaker 1>you know what I'm saying. And I just felt like

0:12:18.200 --> 0:12:20.160
<v Speaker 1>no one should have came in between her and enjoyed

0:12:20.160 --> 0:12:22.520
<v Speaker 1>that moment and living into her fullest instead of them

0:12:22.559 --> 0:12:23.600
<v Speaker 1>trying to like break her.

0:12:23.559 --> 0:12:25.560
<v Speaker 4>Down and make sure that she did.

0:12:25.679 --> 0:12:27.320
<v Speaker 1>The only thing she remember about that was the fact

0:12:27.320 --> 0:12:30.560
<v Speaker 1>that her friends or so called friends did that to her.

0:12:30.640 --> 0:12:32.880
<v Speaker 1>So the only thing, the main thing that I told

0:12:32.920 --> 0:12:35.440
<v Speaker 1>her was cut your phone off, stop reading stuff, and

0:12:35.559 --> 0:12:37.959
<v Speaker 1>enjoy your husband, your new husband. You know what I'm saying,

0:12:37.960 --> 0:12:39.959
<v Speaker 1>because this moment you're never going to get back, and

0:12:40.520 --> 0:12:43.080
<v Speaker 1>you're doing something and living a moment that most of

0:12:43.120 --> 0:12:43.920
<v Speaker 1>these women.

0:12:43.920 --> 0:12:46.200
<v Speaker 4>Wish they could, so fuck all that.

0:12:46.720 --> 0:12:49.199
<v Speaker 1>Stay with your man, cut your phone off, enjoy your honeymoon,

0:12:49.440 --> 0:12:52.760
<v Speaker 1>and when you get back, handle them, but for right now,

0:12:53.320 --> 0:12:55.000
<v Speaker 1>enjoy it because you deserve it.

0:12:55.320 --> 0:13:02.079
<v Speaker 2>Another show your paradign was Platinum Life. Une If y'all

0:13:02.120 --> 0:13:04.760
<v Speaker 2>saw the face Crystal Bay and now she's sipping on

0:13:04.760 --> 0:13:09.400
<v Speaker 2>her head to see So let's dive into it. So,

0:13:09.720 --> 0:13:12.160
<v Speaker 2>as you all know, as the king of Reality TV,

0:13:12.360 --> 0:13:15.920
<v Speaker 2>I love all things reality. So when I saw All

0:13:15.960 --> 0:13:19.520
<v Speaker 2>About the Business on BT, obviously I watched it because

0:13:19.559 --> 0:13:22.840
<v Speaker 2>I'm a huge fan of EVA. But baby, that Crystal

0:13:23.040 --> 0:13:26.040
<v Speaker 2>was the life that just gave me what I needed, honey.

0:13:26.240 --> 0:13:28.920
<v Speaker 2>So I was like, Crystal is that girl. She's a

0:13:28.960 --> 0:13:32.320
<v Speaker 2>force multiplier and I'm here for it. So I was

0:13:32.320 --> 0:13:34.720
<v Speaker 2>sad when the show did not come back, but I

0:13:34.800 --> 0:13:39.800
<v Speaker 2>got a chance to be introduced to Platinum Life. And

0:13:39.880 --> 0:13:43.000
<v Speaker 2>let's be clear, because I follow you and we're friends.

0:13:43.040 --> 0:13:45.320
<v Speaker 2>I was like, oh, I'm here for Crystal, and this

0:13:45.360 --> 0:13:48.319
<v Speaker 2>is before we became friends, honestly. So I was a

0:13:48.400 --> 0:13:50.800
<v Speaker 2>huge fan of the show because I watched because of

0:13:50.800 --> 0:13:55.840
<v Speaker 2>you and the show. If y'all watched this show, it

0:13:55.880 --> 0:14:00.640
<v Speaker 2>was on E In the first episode, Miss Crystal Honey

0:14:01.280 --> 0:14:08.319
<v Speaker 2>stunt on the girls and invited and Crystal show pitches

0:14:08.400 --> 0:14:11.679
<v Speaker 2>or platup Life. No, I'll be silly. The girls were

0:14:11.720 --> 0:14:19.400
<v Speaker 2>on Crystal's private plane going to Las Vegas to see

0:14:19.640 --> 0:14:24.600
<v Speaker 2>Jennifer Lopez. So Crystal being the queen Bee of the show,

0:14:25.360 --> 0:14:29.800
<v Speaker 2>decided to have her girls the other cast members come

0:14:29.840 --> 0:14:34.800
<v Speaker 2>on her private plane to see j Lo exclusively and

0:14:34.840 --> 0:14:38.680
<v Speaker 2>to go backstage as well. And on that plane, this

0:14:38.760 --> 0:14:42.520
<v Speaker 2>is the first episode, guys, And on that plane, Crystal

0:14:43.280 --> 0:14:47.680
<v Speaker 2>read the girls for Philip talk to us about what

0:14:47.920 --> 0:14:51.840
<v Speaker 2>happened as these girls were on your PJ in their pjs,

0:14:52.280 --> 0:14:55.080
<v Speaker 2>but some bs was happening, So.

0:14:55.480 --> 0:14:59.200
<v Speaker 1>Okay about that. So not every one of them that

0:14:59.280 --> 0:15:04.360
<v Speaker 1>I knew that I did. And when the show started filming,

0:15:04.480 --> 0:15:08.520
<v Speaker 1>one of them in particular, decided that she wanted to, like,

0:15:09.360 --> 0:15:11.160
<v Speaker 1>I guess, come against me and be with what she

0:15:11.240 --> 0:15:13.880
<v Speaker 1>thought was like the cool girls group. I call them

0:15:13.880 --> 0:15:16.920
<v Speaker 1>the mean girls or whatever. And so you know, when

0:15:16.960 --> 0:15:19.160
<v Speaker 1>you do production and you're starting for the show, and

0:15:19.400 --> 0:15:21.840
<v Speaker 1>they'd ask you like what can you bring to the show,

0:15:21.960 --> 0:15:24.320
<v Speaker 1>what's this and what's that? And how how was your

0:15:24.320 --> 0:15:25.800
<v Speaker 1>life a platinum life and all this.

0:15:26.240 --> 0:15:27.440
<v Speaker 4>So me, I just kept it real.

0:15:28.360 --> 0:15:31.200
<v Speaker 1>Some of them were like, oh, I can bring this,

0:15:31.280 --> 0:15:33.680
<v Speaker 1>I can bring that, I can bring that, when they couldn't,

0:15:33.760 --> 0:15:36.680
<v Speaker 1>and when it came from filming, they're asking production to

0:15:36.680 --> 0:15:38.960
<v Speaker 1>pay for everything. So I'm like, hey, well this is

0:15:39.000 --> 0:15:40.720
<v Speaker 1>what we could do. I can get this like whatever,

0:15:40.760 --> 0:15:43.080
<v Speaker 1>like it's no pressure, like let's do it. And this

0:15:43.280 --> 0:15:47.080
<v Speaker 1>one chick in particular, she I don't know from day one.

0:15:47.160 --> 0:15:49.040
<v Speaker 1>I didn't know her. She had it out for me.

0:15:49.960 --> 0:15:53.600
<v Speaker 1>So she was probably like forty five minutes late, the

0:15:53.680 --> 0:15:55.880
<v Speaker 1>last one to get on the plane, and she got

0:15:56.080 --> 0:15:58.320
<v Speaker 1>She took twenty minutes at that point to like stand

0:15:58.320 --> 0:16:00.560
<v Speaker 1>outside of the plane and take pictures.

0:16:00.920 --> 0:16:02.000
<v Speaker 4>So she got on the plane.

0:16:02.080 --> 0:16:04.200
<v Speaker 1>It's not my fault that you're seven feet tall, nobody,

0:16:04.440 --> 0:16:05.960
<v Speaker 1>I have no control over that. You need to talk

0:16:06.000 --> 0:16:08.680
<v Speaker 1>to God about that, and said something about the leg room,

0:16:09.000 --> 0:16:11.680
<v Speaker 1>and she just was talking and talking and talking and

0:16:11.720 --> 0:16:15.680
<v Speaker 1>talking shit and I'm just like, okay, letting it roll

0:16:15.720 --> 0:16:18.400
<v Speaker 1>off my back. And it was like I can't remember

0:16:18.440 --> 0:16:20.440
<v Speaker 1>exactly what she said because sometimes I just kind of

0:16:20.440 --> 0:16:23.360
<v Speaker 1>like see red. And all I told her was, you

0:16:23.400 --> 0:16:26.320
<v Speaker 1>know commercial planes have flights every forty five minutes from

0:16:26.400 --> 0:16:28.080
<v Speaker 1>LA to Vegas if that's what you want to do,

0:16:28.120 --> 0:16:30.240
<v Speaker 1>because we can stop the plane and you can and

0:16:30.280 --> 0:16:32.400
<v Speaker 1>you can go to Lax, you know what I'm saying.

0:16:32.800 --> 0:16:34.400
<v Speaker 4>And she said something slick.

0:16:34.480 --> 0:16:37.800
<v Speaker 1>And I just I lost it because it's like the audacity,

0:16:37.920 --> 0:16:40.680
<v Speaker 1>like to get on my stuff. And just like disrespect me,

0:16:40.880 --> 0:16:42.040
<v Speaker 1>you know what I'm saying. And it was just like

0:16:42.040 --> 0:16:44.000
<v Speaker 1>I just felt like it was a setup and I

0:16:44.080 --> 0:16:46.120
<v Speaker 1>just lost it. So I told her, when we get

0:16:46.240 --> 0:16:49.720
<v Speaker 1>to the tarmac, we can get to it. And of course,

0:16:50.640 --> 0:16:52.360
<v Speaker 1>of course her being the first one off, because she

0:16:52.400 --> 0:16:55.400
<v Speaker 1>was the last one on, she bucked it to the inside. Look,

0:16:56.680 --> 0:16:58.920
<v Speaker 1>I don't get stuff like that, Like if I don't

0:16:59.120 --> 0:17:01.480
<v Speaker 1>like you or I have an issue with you, I'm

0:17:01.520 --> 0:17:03.520
<v Speaker 1>not gonna get on your stuff. I'm not gonna be

0:17:03.560 --> 0:17:05.000
<v Speaker 1>around you. I'm not gonna hang with you. I'm not

0:17:05.000 --> 0:17:06.840
<v Speaker 1>gonna come to your house, none of that.

0:17:06.960 --> 0:17:08.360
<v Speaker 4>Like I'll go with my own people's.

0:17:08.560 --> 0:17:10.840
<v Speaker 1>But you thought you were gonna embarrass me or talk

0:17:10.920 --> 0:17:12.199
<v Speaker 1>shit or whatever the case may be.

0:17:12.240 --> 0:17:13.920
<v Speaker 4>And it doesn't. It doesn't go like that, baby.

0:17:14.800 --> 0:17:17.200
<v Speaker 3>So she got on your private plane.

0:17:17.200 --> 0:17:19.600
<v Speaker 2>And so what Chris was talking about is the show

0:17:19.720 --> 0:17:23.080
<v Speaker 2>is called Platinum Life, and the show was about the

0:17:23.160 --> 0:17:28.359
<v Speaker 2>women who were in relationships with the successful musicians. You

0:17:28.440 --> 0:17:32.119
<v Speaker 2>had Nellie's then girl from Mims Jackson, you have Miguel's

0:17:32.480 --> 0:17:35.600
<v Speaker 2>then fiance and some other women.

0:17:35.760 --> 0:17:37.920
<v Speaker 4>Right Nazanine. I love her. She's a sweetheart.

0:17:38.040 --> 0:17:42.919
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and she's so beautiful Xena Foster who is married

0:17:42.960 --> 0:17:45.440
<v Speaker 2>to Tank I don't she.

0:17:48.520 --> 0:17:53.080
<v Speaker 3>Oh no, but are born the same thing. We're cool.

0:17:53.400 --> 0:17:55.480
<v Speaker 3>Zena told me she quit like she.

0:17:55.840 --> 0:18:04.800
<v Speaker 2>Quite so I think what Crystal is saying is obviously

0:18:04.920 --> 0:18:06.959
<v Speaker 2>the show is called Platinum Life, so let's see your

0:18:07.000 --> 0:18:10.560
<v Speaker 2>platinum life. And it appears that some of these women

0:18:11.000 --> 0:18:15.160
<v Speaker 2>weren't able to produce on their own the lifestyle that was.

0:18:15.119 --> 0:18:17.280
<v Speaker 3>Required to be a part of the cast.

0:18:17.680 --> 0:18:21.320
<v Speaker 2>And Crystal, who does this in her sleep, said I

0:18:21.359 --> 0:18:23.840
<v Speaker 2>am able to provide this, which was a girl's trip

0:18:23.880 --> 0:18:27.800
<v Speaker 2>on her plane to Las Vegas. So the audacity of

0:18:27.840 --> 0:18:33.800
<v Speaker 2>a cast member allegedly having an attitude and trying to,

0:18:34.119 --> 0:18:36.560
<v Speaker 2>you know, come for the hostess with the most And

0:18:36.720 --> 0:18:41.720
<v Speaker 2>so did she ever make it backstage to meet j Lo?

0:18:42.400 --> 0:18:44.240
<v Speaker 1>You know, I'm a woman that I like to say

0:18:44.280 --> 0:18:47.160
<v Speaker 1>I walk with grace and all situations, So of course

0:18:47.200 --> 0:18:49.880
<v Speaker 1>I allowed her to come. You know, why not come

0:18:49.920 --> 0:18:52.520
<v Speaker 1>see it, Come meet this beautiful woman that you talked

0:18:52.560 --> 0:18:55.399
<v Speaker 1>to all this stuff about, and have a great evening

0:18:55.600 --> 0:18:55.920
<v Speaker 1>on me.

0:18:58.000 --> 0:19:02.199
<v Speaker 4>You know, I love that you can exclude me from whatever.

0:19:02.440 --> 0:19:05.400
<v Speaker 4>Doesn't matter because it's not an experienced I want anyway.

0:19:05.720 --> 0:19:07.600
<v Speaker 1>But what I am going to show you is what

0:19:07.640 --> 0:19:09.720
<v Speaker 1>a real woman does and a mature woman. If I

0:19:09.800 --> 0:19:12.920
<v Speaker 1>invited you, come on, enjoy the experience, and then after that,

0:19:13.160 --> 0:19:14.320
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna fuck with you no more.

0:19:14.720 --> 0:19:16.679
<v Speaker 2>And what we saw over the course of the season

0:19:16.920 --> 0:19:20.240
<v Speaker 2>was that becoming a continuous beef with that situation. But

0:19:20.800 --> 0:19:24.560
<v Speaker 2>we also saw that you were really trying to just

0:19:24.640 --> 0:19:28.159
<v Speaker 2>avoid the drama, rally the girls and be the you know,

0:19:28.400 --> 0:19:29.680
<v Speaker 2>the girl's girl that you are.

0:19:30.240 --> 0:19:32.680
<v Speaker 3>What happened that season where it.

0:19:32.640 --> 0:19:36.200
<v Speaker 2>Just felt like, you know, that situation just never could

0:19:36.280 --> 0:19:37.360
<v Speaker 2>die down, so.

0:19:37.680 --> 0:19:40.000
<v Speaker 1>That the thing was and like one thing about me,

0:19:40.760 --> 0:19:43.520
<v Speaker 1>even if I feel like I'm not wrong in something,

0:19:43.600 --> 0:19:45.920
<v Speaker 1>if it'll keep the peace, I'm a grown ass woman.

0:19:46.280 --> 0:19:48.040
<v Speaker 4>I can come to you, have a conversation, we can

0:19:48.080 --> 0:19:48.600
<v Speaker 4>sit down.

0:19:48.720 --> 0:19:50.760
<v Speaker 1>I'll even apologize even if I don't feel like I

0:19:50.840 --> 0:19:53.320
<v Speaker 1>was wrong, just in order to keep the peace. I

0:19:53.359 --> 0:19:56.520
<v Speaker 1>did that what two three times, you know what I'm saying,

0:19:56.600 --> 0:20:00.119
<v Speaker 1>And every time it was something else, something else, and

0:20:00.160 --> 0:20:01.960
<v Speaker 1>something else, until I just got fed up with it,

0:20:02.000 --> 0:20:02.560
<v Speaker 1>you know what I'm saying.

0:20:02.560 --> 0:20:04.960
<v Speaker 4>And it's like I'm only going to be.

0:20:05.000 --> 0:20:09.520
<v Speaker 1>Cool so many times, and because y'all feel like I'm

0:20:09.520 --> 0:20:12.240
<v Speaker 1>the hood one or y'all gonna get some TV time

0:20:12.320 --> 0:20:14.280
<v Speaker 1>because y'all think if y'all say something slick, how my

0:20:14.320 --> 0:20:15.960
<v Speaker 1>reaction is gonna be and that's gonna be like the

0:20:16.000 --> 0:20:17.560
<v Speaker 1>highlight of the episode or whatever.

0:20:17.880 --> 0:20:19.720
<v Speaker 4>I just felt like she.

0:20:19.760 --> 0:20:22.840
<v Speaker 1>Kept picking and kept picking until she got real, you

0:20:22.880 --> 0:20:25.719
<v Speaker 1>know what I'm saying. And for me, I just felt like,

0:20:27.000 --> 0:20:28.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm trying to come on TV try to show them

0:20:28.960 --> 0:20:30.520
<v Speaker 1>my business, like I was the only one. I had

0:20:30.520 --> 0:20:33.840
<v Speaker 1>a business deal that I showcased on there with my cooking,

0:20:33.880 --> 0:20:36.119
<v Speaker 1>and everybody knows that's my thing, and so I was

0:20:36.160 --> 0:20:38.760
<v Speaker 1>on there like trying to be professional because I had

0:20:38.800 --> 0:20:41.640
<v Speaker 1>actual partners and contracts and.

0:20:41.560 --> 0:20:43.720
<v Speaker 4>Stuff that I was doing in real life, you know

0:20:43.760 --> 0:20:44.200
<v Speaker 4>what I'm saying.

0:20:44.280 --> 0:20:46.720
<v Speaker 1>So it's like, it doesn't do me any good to

0:20:46.760 --> 0:20:49.040
<v Speaker 1>sit on here and keep arguing with y'all and doing

0:20:49.080 --> 0:20:51.200
<v Speaker 1>all this and jeopardizing what I got going on because

0:20:51.240 --> 0:20:54.040
<v Speaker 1>I actually have something to lose. And it just felt

0:20:54.080 --> 0:20:57.679
<v Speaker 1>like women can be nasty, and if they see that

0:20:57.720 --> 0:20:59.639
<v Speaker 1>you got a light on you, they're gonna try to

0:20:59.760 --> 0:21:02.960
<v Speaker 1>put some shade on it. And because all of a sudden,

0:21:03.040 --> 0:21:05.360
<v Speaker 1>she started some kind of culinary I don't know she

0:21:05.440 --> 0:21:06.879
<v Speaker 1>was in school or something like that.

0:21:07.280 --> 0:21:10.159
<v Speaker 4>She just kept coming from me. So I wanted to

0:21:10.160 --> 0:21:10.640
<v Speaker 4>you at the door.

0:21:10.720 --> 0:21:13.480
<v Speaker 2>Well, what I know is when you're the force multiplier

0:21:13.520 --> 0:21:17.000
<v Speaker 2>of the show, which is sort of like the cast

0:21:17.160 --> 0:21:21.040
<v Speaker 2>member who is sort of like the centerpiece, she or

0:21:21.080 --> 0:21:24.440
<v Speaker 2>he is the one that is just like at the

0:21:24.480 --> 0:21:26.080
<v Speaker 2>center of the show meeting.

0:21:26.880 --> 0:21:29.160
<v Speaker 3>Whether they call it the queen bee of the star,

0:21:29.840 --> 0:21:31.439
<v Speaker 3>we called it the force multiplier.

0:21:31.520 --> 0:21:35.440
<v Speaker 2>And you were clearly that on Platinum Life, and we

0:21:35.520 --> 0:21:38.800
<v Speaker 2>saw these great episodes, but we also saw that it

0:21:38.840 --> 0:21:41.840
<v Speaker 2>did not come back for a second season. Why wasn't

0:21:41.880 --> 0:21:44.600
<v Speaker 2>the show back for a second season because I quit?

0:21:45.160 --> 0:21:48.760
<v Speaker 1>The network came to me after I almost went to

0:21:48.840 --> 0:21:51.480
<v Speaker 1>jail in Mexico for the fighting and stuff.

0:21:51.920 --> 0:21:52.480
<v Speaker 4>Y'all didn't see that.

0:21:52.520 --> 0:21:55.800
<v Speaker 1>Probably it was on camera, but it had went down

0:21:56.000 --> 0:21:59.439
<v Speaker 1>in Mexico or whatever, and so at that point, I

0:21:59.560 --> 0:22:01.920
<v Speaker 1>was just like, like, this is not for me. This

0:22:01.960 --> 0:22:03.639
<v Speaker 1>is not going in the direction that I'm supposed to

0:22:03.680 --> 0:22:06.360
<v Speaker 1>be going in. This is honestly beneath me because y'all

0:22:06.400 --> 0:22:09.400
<v Speaker 1>pulling out something in me that I've worked on long ago,

0:22:09.680 --> 0:22:12.760
<v Speaker 1>and now y'all playing with legal stuff. Because shit like

0:22:12.800 --> 0:22:15.880
<v Speaker 1>that gets real and people don't realize y'all come from

0:22:15.920 --> 0:22:17.800
<v Speaker 1>this kind of life, and y'all say certain things and

0:22:17.840 --> 0:22:20.680
<v Speaker 1>don't realize everyone doesn't take it the way you think

0:22:20.680 --> 0:22:23.040
<v Speaker 1>they're gonna take it, because you do stuff on camera

0:22:23.080 --> 0:22:25.720
<v Speaker 1>and that shit translates into real life and in real

0:22:25.760 --> 0:22:28.000
<v Speaker 1>life and on security there to help you, you know

0:22:28.000 --> 0:22:31.480
<v Speaker 1>what I'm saying. So at that point when I left,

0:22:31.920 --> 0:22:32.560
<v Speaker 1>I left.

0:22:32.640 --> 0:22:34.240
<v Speaker 4>I was done. You know.

0:22:34.240 --> 0:22:37.240
<v Speaker 1>The network called me like, hey, what's up? Like cause

0:22:37.280 --> 0:22:39.639
<v Speaker 1>really it was the Crystal Show, So y'all ain't have

0:22:39.720 --> 0:22:41.439
<v Speaker 1>nothing unless y'all was talking about me.

0:22:41.840 --> 0:22:42.679
<v Speaker 4>So I told them, you know.

0:22:42.680 --> 0:22:44.960
<v Speaker 1>What I'm saying, this isn't beneficial to me.

0:22:45.320 --> 0:22:46.800
<v Speaker 4>The money ain't that great.

0:22:46.880 --> 0:22:48.399
<v Speaker 1>I mean to them, I guess it's a lie, But

0:22:48.480 --> 0:22:50.960
<v Speaker 1>to me, that ain't shit. So I'm not going to

0:22:51.000 --> 0:22:53.679
<v Speaker 1>jeopardize my business and what I have going on to

0:22:53.760 --> 0:22:55.680
<v Speaker 1>continue in this bullshit because this is supposed to be

0:22:55.720 --> 0:22:57.439
<v Speaker 1>a show that was supposed to be different from all

0:22:57.480 --> 0:23:00.320
<v Speaker 1>these other shows and uplifting women. That's what y'all taught me.

0:23:00.760 --> 0:23:03.159
<v Speaker 1>This is not what it is, So I quit and

0:23:03.280 --> 0:23:04.040
<v Speaker 1>nobody has a job.

0:23:04.080 --> 0:23:04.199
<v Speaker 4>Now.

0:23:08.440 --> 0:23:17.880
<v Speaker 2>Well, Crystal, we're gonna start calling you Uncle Sam, cause honey,

0:23:18.119 --> 0:23:23.400
<v Speaker 2>she is here to collect baby. Who's I hate to interrupt,

0:23:23.840 --> 0:23:26.720
<v Speaker 2>but stay tuned for more of my conversation with Crystal.

0:23:27.119 --> 0:23:40.359
<v Speaker 2>We'll be right back after this quick break. This is

0:23:40.440 --> 0:23:43.920
<v Speaker 2>Reality with the King and I'm Carlos King. Let's get

0:23:43.960 --> 0:23:49.280
<v Speaker 2>back into my chat with Crystal Smith. You are meant

0:23:49.320 --> 0:23:54.520
<v Speaker 2>to be on reality TV. And what's interesting is before

0:23:54.560 --> 0:23:57.080
<v Speaker 2>you know, I became friends. You did not know this,

0:23:57.160 --> 0:23:59.720
<v Speaker 2>but I was watching you being a huge fan of yours.

0:23:59.720 --> 0:24:04.480
<v Speaker 2>Because not everybody is meant to be on TV, but

0:24:04.600 --> 0:24:08.719
<v Speaker 2>the ones who I've been able to see, I always

0:24:08.760 --> 0:24:11.080
<v Speaker 2>say to myself, if I'm able to get a piece

0:24:11.119 --> 0:24:14.360
<v Speaker 2>of that action I wanted. So I want to tell

0:24:14.400 --> 0:24:17.160
<v Speaker 2>the listeners how you and I became friends. I had

0:24:17.200 --> 0:24:20.360
<v Speaker 2>a meeting with Nick Cannon at his office in LA

0:24:21.160 --> 0:24:25.280
<v Speaker 2>and he wanted to meet with me because he had

0:24:25.320 --> 0:24:27.760
<v Speaker 2>this show idea that involved you and Neo.

0:24:29.280 --> 0:24:31.439
<v Speaker 3>At the time, he.

0:24:31.440 --> 0:24:35.000
<v Speaker 2>Was like, Los, you may not know her, but this

0:24:35.080 --> 0:24:40.399
<v Speaker 2>woman named Crystal Smith is a star. And I said, Nick,

0:24:41.640 --> 0:24:44.879
<v Speaker 2>I know exactly who she is. You don't have to

0:24:44.920 --> 0:24:46.520
<v Speaker 2>pitch Crystal Smith to me.

0:24:47.480 --> 0:24:50.080
<v Speaker 3>I know who she is. I watched television. So we

0:24:50.160 --> 0:24:50.439
<v Speaker 3>have a.

0:24:50.520 --> 0:24:53.879
<v Speaker 2>Meeting, you and I, Neo and Nick and you and

0:24:53.960 --> 0:24:54.880
<v Speaker 2>I felt and.

0:24:54.880 --> 0:24:56.440
<v Speaker 3>Well, let me speak to myself.

0:24:57.800 --> 0:25:02.800
<v Speaker 5>Okay, I didn't, so I said, I was like, I

0:25:02.920 --> 0:25:05.320
<v Speaker 5>love you like I love you, And it is funny

0:25:05.320 --> 0:25:08.080
<v Speaker 5>because Nick and de I was like, they love each other.

0:25:08.280 --> 0:25:13.720
<v Speaker 2>So I guess this is going to work. And we

0:25:14.280 --> 0:25:17.359
<v Speaker 2>long story short, we were going to develop a show

0:25:17.440 --> 0:25:21.239
<v Speaker 2>surrounding you and your artistry and just your life and

0:25:21.800 --> 0:25:25.640
<v Speaker 2>you being like the Lucille ball of like this hip

0:25:25.680 --> 0:25:29.960
<v Speaker 2>hop community, this relationship. And we had these pitch meetings

0:25:30.359 --> 0:25:32.639
<v Speaker 2>and when I said to you, guys, Crystal killed it

0:25:32.680 --> 0:25:36.960
<v Speaker 2>in every pitch meeting so much so we had numerous

0:25:37.000 --> 0:25:41.679
<v Speaker 2>offers from networks and streamers like I'm not gonna name names,

0:25:41.720 --> 0:25:44.560
<v Speaker 2>but some very big networks was like, we want some

0:25:44.600 --> 0:25:48.280
<v Speaker 2>of this, and we were almost about to do a show.

0:25:48.800 --> 0:25:51.000
<v Speaker 2>And then obviously, when it comes to business, things just

0:25:51.320 --> 0:25:54.960
<v Speaker 2>you know, happened. But that was when I realized, like,

0:25:56.160 --> 0:25:58.680
<v Speaker 2>I love her. I want to be in business with her,

0:25:59.160 --> 0:26:02.879
<v Speaker 2>because you are somebody who I think is so magical

0:26:03.520 --> 0:26:05.720
<v Speaker 2>based on, like you said earlier, being a girl from

0:26:05.720 --> 0:26:10.040
<v Speaker 2>the hood, having humble beginnings, but being able to just

0:26:11.000 --> 0:26:14.399
<v Speaker 2>not allow your paths to define you, and being able

0:26:14.480 --> 0:26:17.159
<v Speaker 2>to just go after the stars. And one thing I

0:26:17.200 --> 0:26:19.480
<v Speaker 2>will say too, because I want this to be an

0:26:19.520 --> 0:26:21.920
<v Speaker 2>honest conversation and again, say anything you want to say.

0:26:22.280 --> 0:26:25.880
<v Speaker 2>But I also like the fact that wow, Neo supports

0:26:25.880 --> 0:26:28.840
<v Speaker 2>his wife, like, you know, he's like, look, if it's

0:26:28.880 --> 0:26:31.359
<v Speaker 2>what she wants, let's do it. What was going on

0:26:31.440 --> 0:26:34.840
<v Speaker 2>in regards to at that time, it was this opportunity

0:26:35.000 --> 0:26:36.679
<v Speaker 2>to have a show about you guys.

0:26:37.600 --> 0:26:38.879
<v Speaker 3>Is that something you wanted?

0:26:39.000 --> 0:26:42.119
<v Speaker 2>He wanted Nick wanted, Like whose idea was it for

0:26:42.240 --> 0:26:42.919
<v Speaker 2>that to happen?

0:26:44.359 --> 0:26:47.520
<v Speaker 1>You know, Nick came to us with the idea or whatever.

0:26:47.560 --> 0:26:49.840
<v Speaker 1>And then so I have a history with Nick of

0:26:49.920 --> 0:26:51.320
<v Speaker 1>you know, I used to do wild'n.

0:26:50.920 --> 0:26:53.800
<v Speaker 4>Out way wait wait long as ago.

0:26:54.359 --> 0:26:56.480
<v Speaker 1>And so meet him, have a you know, rapport and

0:26:56.520 --> 0:26:59.240
<v Speaker 1>good relationship and stuff like that. So at that time

0:26:59.720 --> 0:27:02.440
<v Speaker 1>I was recording music and stuff and it was good

0:27:02.440 --> 0:27:04.520
<v Speaker 1>and he like really really loved it. He was like, damn,

0:27:04.560 --> 0:27:06.720
<v Speaker 1>I've never heard anybody like rap like this their first

0:27:06.760 --> 0:27:10.320
<v Speaker 1>time in the studio whatever, And so he had we

0:27:10.359 --> 0:27:13.080
<v Speaker 1>all have this mutual friend and so they had this idea.

0:27:13.320 --> 0:27:15.719
<v Speaker 4>And you know, we were down for but then you know,

0:27:16.040 --> 0:27:18.159
<v Speaker 4>my ex he got like super busy.

0:27:18.160 --> 0:27:19.800
<v Speaker 1>I think he ended up going on tour around that time,

0:27:19.880 --> 0:27:22.080
<v Speaker 1>right or something like that, So the contracts didn't like

0:27:22.680 --> 0:27:25.640
<v Speaker 1>line up, so it was pretty much just like wrong

0:27:25.680 --> 0:27:29.600
<v Speaker 1>timing basically. And that's okay because I wasn't like pressed

0:27:29.600 --> 0:27:31.760
<v Speaker 1>to be you know, have to do it right now.

0:27:31.800 --> 0:27:33.560
<v Speaker 3>You really wasn't. And that's the thing.

0:27:33.600 --> 0:27:37.040
<v Speaker 2>You're not thirsty because if anything, and I'm gonna be

0:27:37.080 --> 0:27:39.200
<v Speaker 2>real with y'all, I was a thirsty one, like, no,

0:27:39.320 --> 0:27:42.159
<v Speaker 2>we gotta make it. Crystal would be like, Carlos, I

0:27:42.200 --> 0:27:45.320
<v Speaker 2>got this going on. This money ain't that much, but whatever.

0:27:45.400 --> 0:27:46.919
<v Speaker 2>I love you and I trust you, and I know

0:27:46.960 --> 0:27:50.520
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna make money outside of the show. But you

0:27:50.760 --> 0:27:54.119
<v Speaker 2>never once was thirsty about this. It was sort of like,

0:27:54.160 --> 0:27:56.320
<v Speaker 2>if it happens, it happens. If it doesn't, it doesn't,

0:27:56.760 --> 0:27:59.080
<v Speaker 2>my life is still gonna be my life. And then

0:27:59.119 --> 0:28:02.320
<v Speaker 2>we were able to do Behind every Man together because

0:28:02.320 --> 0:28:05.879
<v Speaker 2>again we developed a friendship at that point. She and

0:28:05.960 --> 0:28:10.520
<v Speaker 2>I spoke several days before because that show was Kristal

0:28:10.600 --> 0:28:13.760
<v Speaker 2>revealing things about her past and her childhood that she

0:28:13.840 --> 0:28:17.199
<v Speaker 2>never once said before. And for me, it was to

0:28:17.280 --> 0:28:20.199
<v Speaker 2>show the world that, like you said earlier, this is

0:28:20.280 --> 0:28:24.040
<v Speaker 2>not some homewrecker. I want the world to see who

0:28:24.080 --> 0:28:24.720
<v Speaker 2>you are, which.

0:28:24.560 --> 0:28:27.119
<v Speaker 3>Is why I also embody you on my podcast.

0:28:27.680 --> 0:28:32.119
<v Speaker 2>Why do you think this homewreckerd title came about?

0:28:33.440 --> 0:28:37.399
<v Speaker 1>So, you know, not to say that people don't like

0:28:37.840 --> 0:28:40.560
<v Speaker 1>really think about things. People don't realize. Like, when you

0:28:40.560 --> 0:28:43.800
<v Speaker 1>shoot a show, it's usually shot, it's usually like aired

0:28:43.960 --> 0:28:45.640
<v Speaker 1>the next year, you know what I'm saying.

0:28:45.680 --> 0:28:47.800
<v Speaker 4>And so I think the timing.

0:28:47.960 --> 0:28:52.160
<v Speaker 1>Of my ex, like telling people that we were a

0:28:52.160 --> 0:28:57.520
<v Speaker 1>thing or whatever, was when his ex's show came out.

0:28:57.680 --> 0:28:59.280
<v Speaker 4>She shot that show like the year before.

0:28:59.480 --> 0:29:03.320
<v Speaker 1>They hadn't been together a year plus since, you know,

0:29:03.360 --> 0:29:06.440
<v Speaker 1>before I had met him, So people not like thinking

0:29:06.480 --> 0:29:06.920
<v Speaker 1>about that.

0:29:06.960 --> 0:29:09.240
<v Speaker 4>They're thinking, damn, this show just came out.

0:29:09.560 --> 0:29:11.440
<v Speaker 1>They just said that they were together like a week ago,

0:29:11.560 --> 0:29:15.200
<v Speaker 1>so they just figure that I took him.

0:29:15.000 --> 0:29:16.440
<v Speaker 4>From her, which is not the case. I didn't even

0:29:16.480 --> 0:29:17.480
<v Speaker 4>know him when they were together.

0:29:17.880 --> 0:29:21.880
<v Speaker 1>So at that point, it's just like, I hate that

0:29:21.920 --> 0:29:24.720
<v Speaker 1>people think that. But over the years and now at

0:29:24.720 --> 0:29:26.520
<v Speaker 1>this point, I don't really care what they think because

0:29:26.560 --> 0:29:28.800
<v Speaker 1>I know he knows, she knows, and God knows, and

0:29:28.800 --> 0:29:29.720
<v Speaker 1>that's really yeah.

0:29:30.200 --> 0:29:31.960
<v Speaker 2>And what we learned on the show was the fact

0:29:32.000 --> 0:29:39.680
<v Speaker 2>that this man, your ex, he approached you he sought

0:29:39.760 --> 0:29:42.880
<v Speaker 2>you out, He had his team reached out and said,

0:29:42.920 --> 0:29:45.280
<v Speaker 2>I want to meet this girl. You know, his intention

0:29:45.840 --> 0:29:47.720
<v Speaker 2>that he said to you was like, oh, be my

0:29:47.800 --> 0:29:53.000
<v Speaker 2>music video. And what was funny is you realize after

0:29:53.080 --> 0:29:56.840
<v Speaker 2>meeting him that, okay, he was interested. And what I

0:29:56.880 --> 0:29:59.680
<v Speaker 2>loved about the story between you and him was the

0:29:59.680 --> 0:30:04.160
<v Speaker 2>fact that you gave him like, not a hard time,

0:30:04.200 --> 0:30:07.960
<v Speaker 2>but you weren't pressed, you weren't thirsty, and that's what

0:30:08.080 --> 0:30:10.360
<v Speaker 2>made him like you even more because you were sort

0:30:10.360 --> 0:30:12.560
<v Speaker 2>of like, honey, I'm.

0:30:12.360 --> 0:30:15.040
<v Speaker 3>In this business, I know what this is about. I'm good.

0:30:15.520 --> 0:30:19.800
<v Speaker 2>I've heard stories. I'm not that person. And what's interesting

0:30:19.880 --> 0:30:23.600
<v Speaker 2>is I just heard Steve Harvey talk about this on

0:30:23.640 --> 0:30:28.440
<v Speaker 2>his Instagram page. When Marjorie, his now wife, when they

0:30:28.520 --> 0:30:33.800
<v Speaker 2>were dating, he pushed on up on her and she

0:30:34.040 --> 0:30:36.760
<v Speaker 2>overheard him talking to another woman on the phone and

0:30:36.800 --> 0:30:38.840
<v Speaker 2>she packed her bags and I was like, I'm actually gonna

0:30:38.880 --> 0:30:42.840
<v Speaker 2>leave and call me when you're ready, and he took

0:30:42.840 --> 0:30:44.800
<v Speaker 2>his flip phone and broke it and said, I'm ready.

0:30:44.800 --> 0:30:48.800
<v Speaker 2>Now talk to us about that, because again, I wanted

0:30:48.800 --> 0:30:51.320
<v Speaker 2>to spell all these rumors that you was somebody clout

0:30:51.400 --> 0:30:54.480
<v Speaker 2>chasing or anything like that, like that's not even the case.

0:30:54.840 --> 0:30:55.560
<v Speaker 4>No, not at all.

0:30:55.680 --> 0:30:57.880
<v Speaker 1>So you know, I'm not gonna lie that he hadn't

0:30:57.920 --> 0:30:59.720
<v Speaker 1>ever hopped in my dms before, but I had never,

0:31:00.720 --> 0:31:03.320
<v Speaker 1>so I guess he figured this is the next avenue

0:31:03.320 --> 0:31:03.600
<v Speaker 1>that I.

0:31:03.600 --> 0:31:05.120
<v Speaker 4>Have to go through to get to her.

0:31:05.680 --> 0:31:08.800
<v Speaker 1>So his team reached out, booked me for a job,

0:31:08.920 --> 0:31:11.000
<v Speaker 1>all that kind of stuff, and then like he wanted

0:31:11.040 --> 0:31:13.600
<v Speaker 1>to meet before the job, and I was like, I've

0:31:13.640 --> 0:31:16.320
<v Speaker 1>never had to meet the artists before a job.

0:31:16.360 --> 0:31:17.440
<v Speaker 4>I to show up, they tell me what to do,

0:31:17.480 --> 0:31:18.520
<v Speaker 4>and I do it, you know.

0:31:18.640 --> 0:31:21.280
<v Speaker 1>So we ended up meeting after I set him up

0:31:21.280 --> 0:31:24.040
<v Speaker 1>a couple of times or whatever, and then it went

0:31:24.080 --> 0:31:27.440
<v Speaker 1>from like talking about the job to like, now we

0:31:27.440 --> 0:31:31.120
<v Speaker 1>talk about personal stuff, and we just kind of like

0:31:31.320 --> 0:31:33.160
<v Speaker 1>we ended up clicking and stuff, and we just have

0:31:33.240 --> 0:31:35.400
<v Speaker 1>really honest conversations because I prefer the.

0:31:35.400 --> 0:31:36.200
<v Speaker 4>Truth, you know.

0:31:36.920 --> 0:31:39.320
<v Speaker 1>And when we decided that we were going to like

0:31:39.320 --> 0:31:42.640
<v Speaker 1>make it official, what he did do that no one

0:31:42.720 --> 0:31:44.480
<v Speaker 1>else had done before was he stuned in front of me.

0:31:44.840 --> 0:31:46.000
<v Speaker 4>I mean it took a couple days.

0:31:45.880 --> 0:31:48.720
<v Speaker 1>Probably like three four days, but he called every woman

0:31:48.880 --> 0:31:52.080
<v Speaker 1>that he was dealing with at that time and told them, hey,

0:31:52.360 --> 0:31:55.320
<v Speaker 1>I'm in a relationship, and I want you to respect that,

0:31:55.400 --> 0:31:57.400
<v Speaker 1>So I mean, you can't continue whatever like he did

0:31:57.400 --> 0:31:58.720
<v Speaker 1>that in front of me, you know what I'm saying.

0:31:58.760 --> 0:32:01.720
<v Speaker 1>So that for me was like, Okay, I can give

0:32:01.760 --> 0:32:03.240
<v Speaker 1>this like a serious chance.

0:32:04.280 --> 0:32:06.520
<v Speaker 4>Three babies later, I mean, y'all know how that went.

0:32:06.560 --> 0:32:10.040
<v Speaker 1>But it was a reason why I decided to like

0:32:10.120 --> 0:32:11.720
<v Speaker 1>be with him like that, you know, because in the

0:32:11.760 --> 0:32:14.840
<v Speaker 1>beginning he showed me everything that you're supposed to show

0:32:14.880 --> 0:32:16.160
<v Speaker 1>someone that you're serious.

0:32:16.440 --> 0:32:20.640
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, And I was privy to y'all relationship. I was

0:32:20.680 --> 0:32:23.360
<v Speaker 2>around you guys a lot, and I saw the love

0:32:23.800 --> 0:32:27.120
<v Speaker 2>and I saw the fact that he was somebody who

0:32:27.160 --> 0:32:29.640
<v Speaker 2>supported you, and you supported him, you held him down.

0:32:30.040 --> 0:32:33.160
<v Speaker 2>And we all know the story about during the pandemic,

0:32:33.720 --> 0:32:36.520
<v Speaker 2>things weren't in the best place for the two of you,

0:32:37.080 --> 0:32:39.920
<v Speaker 2>but the pandemic forced him to not have to go

0:32:40.000 --> 0:32:43.640
<v Speaker 2>on tour to stay home and you two were working

0:32:43.760 --> 0:32:48.960
<v Speaker 2>on the marriage at that time, which was successfully working

0:32:49.000 --> 0:32:52.760
<v Speaker 2>out for you too. Fast forward to now, obviously, look this,

0:32:52.960 --> 0:32:56.160
<v Speaker 2>I just want my listeners to know me, Chris O'Neill,

0:32:56.360 --> 0:32:58.520
<v Speaker 2>our family and at the end of the day, that

0:32:58.640 --> 0:33:00.719
<v Speaker 2>is the father of her kids. And this isn't a

0:33:00.760 --> 0:33:04.200
<v Speaker 2>situation of bashing anybody, it's just having an honest conversation

0:33:04.360 --> 0:33:06.840
<v Speaker 2>because I feel like, based on what's been happening in

0:33:06.880 --> 0:33:09.040
<v Speaker 2>the press lately, a lot of people have all of

0:33:09.080 --> 0:33:12.120
<v Speaker 2>these assumptions about you, and I reach out to you

0:33:12.200 --> 0:33:14.760
<v Speaker 2>because I want people to know this too. I reach

0:33:14.840 --> 0:33:17.440
<v Speaker 2>out to Christal to say, let's just have a conversation

0:33:17.600 --> 0:33:21.440
<v Speaker 2>because I'm so protective of you that I know what

0:33:21.520 --> 0:33:24.800
<v Speaker 2>people may think is going on or not, not saying

0:33:24.840 --> 0:33:27.080
<v Speaker 2>that I know everything, but what I do know is

0:33:27.560 --> 0:33:30.240
<v Speaker 2>there was love there at some point, so much so

0:33:31.280 --> 0:33:34.080
<v Speaker 2>I was invited to the baby shower. You guys had

0:33:34.080 --> 0:33:37.520
<v Speaker 2>a Bober Newle in Las Vegas a few months ago.

0:33:37.920 --> 0:33:40.720
<v Speaker 2>Neani Leeks was there, Melody Holt was there because these

0:33:40.720 --> 0:33:43.520
<v Speaker 2>are your friends too, and we just thought, like yes,

0:33:43.760 --> 0:33:49.200
<v Speaker 2>like love wins again. Obviously, listen, say what you want

0:33:49.240 --> 0:33:53.280
<v Speaker 2>to say about the situation, But what happened to where

0:33:53.320 --> 0:33:56.920
<v Speaker 2>we saw this bower Newle and then we saw you

0:33:57.440 --> 0:34:04.520
<v Speaker 2>post on Instagram that you're ex was allegedly in situations

0:34:04.560 --> 0:34:07.320
<v Speaker 2>with other women and possibly another child.

0:34:07.880 --> 0:34:09.879
<v Speaker 1>Okay, so I will say this because I'm not gonna

0:34:09.880 --> 0:34:12.719
<v Speaker 1>say much, but you are in a relationship you love

0:34:12.840 --> 0:34:17.719
<v Speaker 1>someone and you think that your relationship is this way right,

0:34:17.960 --> 0:34:21.680
<v Speaker 1>and you think it's flowers and hearts and glitter falling

0:34:21.719 --> 0:34:24.160
<v Speaker 1>from the sky, whatever you want to call it. And

0:34:24.280 --> 0:34:28.360
<v Speaker 1>we had a great relationship, great you know, energy, everything.

0:34:29.000 --> 0:34:31.920
<v Speaker 1>So when I found out that that wasn't the case,

0:34:32.960 --> 0:34:35.239
<v Speaker 1>it was like for me, I'm never gonna be in

0:34:35.280 --> 0:34:37.279
<v Speaker 1>a relationship. I don't care who you are, what you have,

0:34:37.760 --> 0:34:39.280
<v Speaker 1>what you've accomplished in life where.

0:34:39.080 --> 0:34:40.279
<v Speaker 4>I'm not being respected.

0:34:40.640 --> 0:34:42.760
<v Speaker 1>Now I'm not saying that he disrespected me in my face,

0:34:42.800 --> 0:34:47.799
<v Speaker 1>because that ain't never happened. But people sometimes when they

0:34:47.840 --> 0:34:50.000
<v Speaker 1>go outside the house, they live a different life. And

0:34:50.080 --> 0:34:52.160
<v Speaker 1>once I found out about that different life, for me,

0:34:52.280 --> 0:34:56.080
<v Speaker 1>the only choice and option for myself was to leave.

0:34:56.239 --> 0:34:57.799
<v Speaker 4>You know, I don't wish any battle his life. I

0:34:57.840 --> 0:34:58.799
<v Speaker 4>pray for him every day.

0:34:58.960 --> 0:35:02.200
<v Speaker 1>I wish him the best, but there are certain things

0:35:02.239 --> 0:35:05.000
<v Speaker 1>that for me just once you cross that line, I'm

0:35:05.000 --> 0:35:05.840
<v Speaker 1>not gonna accept.

0:35:06.320 --> 0:35:08.920
<v Speaker 4>And the only reason why I put that post.

0:35:08.680 --> 0:35:11.439
<v Speaker 1>And honestly I regretted it, but I did it because one,

0:35:11.480 --> 0:35:13.640
<v Speaker 1>you know, I don't talk about our business like my

0:35:13.719 --> 0:35:18.200
<v Speaker 1>personal relationship business, but it was more for like accountability

0:35:18.640 --> 0:35:21.040
<v Speaker 1>like for me, because I did that it was like

0:35:21.080 --> 0:35:24.120
<v Speaker 1>one to show him like I'm really serious, I'm really leaving,

0:35:24.520 --> 0:35:27.120
<v Speaker 1>and two for me to be like, Okay, I put

0:35:27.120 --> 0:35:27.520
<v Speaker 1>this up.

0:35:27.640 --> 0:35:29.759
<v Speaker 4>I put my business out there, so I.

0:35:29.719 --> 0:35:32.560
<v Speaker 1>Can't be dumb and fall back into a trap or

0:35:32.640 --> 0:35:36.400
<v Speaker 1>back into the same pattern. Because now everything that I

0:35:36.440 --> 0:35:38.720
<v Speaker 1>represent as a woman, and what I want to show

0:35:38.800 --> 0:35:43.360
<v Speaker 1>women is that you can't accept just anything that someone

0:35:43.400 --> 0:35:45.759
<v Speaker 1>gives you, like you're the good thing. You deserve to

0:35:45.760 --> 0:35:47.919
<v Speaker 1>be treated the right way, whether it's in your face

0:35:48.000 --> 0:35:50.560
<v Speaker 1>or behind your back. And so a lot of times

0:35:50.640 --> 0:35:54.160
<v Speaker 1>I feel like women that are with men in this industry,

0:35:54.760 --> 0:35:57.040
<v Speaker 1>they accept a lot, they take a lot, they tolerate

0:35:57.080 --> 0:35:59.200
<v Speaker 1>a lot because of who that person is.

0:35:59.200 --> 0:36:02.759
<v Speaker 4>Or a life style that they provide. And what I.

0:36:02.719 --> 0:36:05.960
<v Speaker 1>Want to show women is that you should get out

0:36:06.000 --> 0:36:08.439
<v Speaker 1>if you feel that way, no matter what someone has.

0:36:08.520 --> 0:36:11.640
<v Speaker 1>Your self worth, your health, your life, your happiness, your

0:36:11.680 --> 0:36:14.960
<v Speaker 1>mental health, all of that is more important than a lifestyle.

0:36:15.320 --> 0:36:17.239
<v Speaker 1>You have to think more of yourself in which I

0:36:17.320 --> 0:36:21.200
<v Speaker 1>absolutely do to get away from someone that doesn't see

0:36:21.239 --> 0:36:23.239
<v Speaker 1>you for who you are. It doesn't treat you the

0:36:23.280 --> 0:36:26.640
<v Speaker 1>way you're supposed to be treated. And if I want

0:36:26.640 --> 0:36:30.560
<v Speaker 1>to be anything, it's the example of being strong. Like,

0:36:30.560 --> 0:36:33.200
<v Speaker 1>don't get me wrong, it hurts like my heart is broken,

0:36:33.239 --> 0:36:35.200
<v Speaker 1>you know what I'm saying, Because that's someone I thought

0:36:35.239 --> 0:36:38.879
<v Speaker 1>I was gonna spend forever with. But who I am

0:36:38.920 --> 0:36:43.279
<v Speaker 1>spending forever with is myself and my children. And who

0:36:43.320 --> 0:36:46.040
<v Speaker 1>I have to set a good example for are my children.

0:36:46.400 --> 0:36:48.600
<v Speaker 1>And so I wanted my kids to grow up and

0:36:48.760 --> 0:36:51.200
<v Speaker 1>I have a daughter to grow up and know to

0:36:51.239 --> 0:36:54.160
<v Speaker 1>not accept just anything from anyone, and my sons to

0:36:54.280 --> 0:36:57.839
<v Speaker 1>know I will be your ass if you ever treat

0:36:57.880 --> 0:37:00.359
<v Speaker 1>a woman like that. So for me, it wasn't an

0:37:00.360 --> 0:37:02.960
<v Speaker 1>easy decision, but it was an easy decision, you know

0:37:02.960 --> 0:37:04.680
<v Speaker 1>what I'm saying, because I've always known who I am,

0:37:05.080 --> 0:37:08.200
<v Speaker 1>what I deserve, and what I deserve to be treated

0:37:08.239 --> 0:37:10.239
<v Speaker 1>like with someone, And if you're not serving me in

0:37:10.239 --> 0:37:11.560
<v Speaker 1>that way, then I gotta go.

0:37:11.960 --> 0:37:14.920
<v Speaker 2>And I'm glad you you brought up something that I

0:37:15.040 --> 0:37:17.640
<v Speaker 2>know for you to be, which is you are very

0:37:17.680 --> 0:37:22.480
<v Speaker 2>private and you don't tell your business. So when I

0:37:22.520 --> 0:37:25.239
<v Speaker 2>saw the post on Instagram, I'm like, this ain't the

0:37:25.280 --> 0:37:29.319
<v Speaker 2>crystal that I know because miss Thing keeps everything close

0:37:29.320 --> 0:37:31.799
<v Speaker 2>to her chest. I mean, you and I have personal conversations,

0:37:31.800 --> 0:37:34.920
<v Speaker 2>but that's personal. But to see that display on Instagram,

0:37:35.000 --> 0:37:38.520
<v Speaker 2>I was too surprised. And you're a virgo, and one

0:37:38.560 --> 0:37:42.160
<v Speaker 2>thing I know about virgos, y'all don't like to talk

0:37:42.160 --> 0:37:45.880
<v Speaker 2>about your business. And when I saw that, for me,

0:37:46.440 --> 0:37:50.160
<v Speaker 2>I felt that, whatever is going on with my girl,

0:37:50.400 --> 0:37:53.120
<v Speaker 2>this must be she must be at her wits end,

0:37:53.520 --> 0:37:56.560
<v Speaker 2>like and I think it's one of those things when

0:37:56.560 --> 0:37:59.320
<v Speaker 2>you look at waiting to exhil and how angela Bassett

0:37:59.360 --> 0:38:01.759
<v Speaker 2>character just got to close up the closet and burn

0:38:01.840 --> 0:38:09.239
<v Speaker 2>the shit on fire, you know what I'm saying.

0:38:08.880 --> 0:38:12.719
<v Speaker 3>So to me, Crystal, I was like.

0:38:14.160 --> 0:38:20.200
<v Speaker 2>She had a blackout moment and said, fuck it, that's

0:38:20.200 --> 0:38:21.759
<v Speaker 2>what I got from it?

0:38:21.800 --> 0:38:24.080
<v Speaker 3>Is that safe to say, like you just whatever was.

0:38:24.080 --> 0:38:25.480
<v Speaker 2>Going on at that time, which you don't have to

0:38:25.480 --> 0:38:28.360
<v Speaker 2>talk about, but did you just have like a blackout.

0:38:27.960 --> 0:38:29.759
<v Speaker 3>Moment where you just at your wits end?

0:38:30.320 --> 0:38:30.560
<v Speaker 4>You know?

0:38:31.360 --> 0:38:34.480
<v Speaker 1>Honestly, I'm gonna be one hundred it wasn't a blackout moment.

0:38:34.520 --> 0:38:37.960
<v Speaker 1>And throughout this whole situation, I've been known to like

0:38:38.440 --> 0:38:41.480
<v Speaker 1>go crazy. I didn't and I still haven't, and I

0:38:41.480 --> 0:38:45.160
<v Speaker 1>don't know about what this situation is. But like I'm

0:38:45.200 --> 0:38:47.719
<v Speaker 1>a god fearing woman and I pray and all day.

0:38:47.760 --> 0:38:49.400
<v Speaker 1>God walks with me all day and I speak to

0:38:49.480 --> 0:38:52.200
<v Speaker 1>him all day. And when I felt something wasn't right,

0:38:53.360 --> 0:38:56.160
<v Speaker 1>I got on my knees and I prayed to reveal

0:38:56.200 --> 0:38:58.520
<v Speaker 1>to me what needed to be revealed, and Baber did

0:38:58.560 --> 0:39:03.239
<v Speaker 1>he reveal it so oh for me. Once we had

0:39:03.239 --> 0:39:07.560
<v Speaker 1>a conversation and it was like, okay, what's about to happen?

0:39:08.080 --> 0:39:10.960
<v Speaker 4>And it wasn't. When people get.

0:39:10.760 --> 0:39:15.080
<v Speaker 1>Caught, they kind of like, instead of like being remorseful,

0:39:15.440 --> 0:39:18.200
<v Speaker 1>they'd want to try to find a scapegoat. And I

0:39:18.280 --> 0:39:20.319
<v Speaker 1>just wasn't going for it. And it was just one night.

0:39:20.360 --> 0:39:24.600
<v Speaker 1>It was just like, you know what, I'm cool, Like,

0:39:24.640 --> 0:39:26.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm good. I don't know what my future holds for me,

0:39:27.040 --> 0:39:30.080
<v Speaker 1>but what I do know is you won't be included

0:39:30.080 --> 0:39:31.799
<v Speaker 1>in it, and I don't want to feel like this

0:39:32.200 --> 0:39:35.000
<v Speaker 1>ever again. If I continue to be with you, I

0:39:35.040 --> 0:39:37.520
<v Speaker 1>will feel like this. So I knew in that moment

0:39:37.600 --> 0:39:40.319
<v Speaker 1>I just had to just walk away. So it was

0:39:41.320 --> 0:39:42.960
<v Speaker 1>it was serious. When a person says to you they

0:39:42.920 --> 0:39:45.480
<v Speaker 1>don't have to fear of you leaving them, it's like, okay,

0:39:46.120 --> 0:39:48.839
<v Speaker 1>let me just show you. So I just had to

0:39:48.920 --> 0:39:52.440
<v Speaker 1>like make a stand for myself and since that moment,

0:39:52.600 --> 0:39:57.640
<v Speaker 1>I have been calm. I haven't yelled, argued, screams any

0:39:57.640 --> 0:39:59.040
<v Speaker 1>of that, because it serves no purpose.

0:39:59.040 --> 0:39:59.880
<v Speaker 4>Once I don't want to sit you.

0:40:00.880 --> 0:40:03.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm about to take the emotion out of it so

0:40:03.239 --> 0:40:04.680
<v Speaker 1>that I can can just walk away.

0:40:05.280 --> 0:40:07.320
<v Speaker 4>And I've been you know, children, I have my moments,

0:40:07.320 --> 0:40:08.000
<v Speaker 4>you know what I'm saying.

0:40:08.400 --> 0:40:11.400
<v Speaker 1>But they're getting further and further apart because every day

0:40:11.400 --> 0:40:13.880
<v Speaker 1>I'm waking up with more peace in my spirit that

0:40:13.960 --> 0:40:16.759
<v Speaker 1>I made the right choice and that is invaluable to me.

0:40:17.200 --> 0:40:20.719
<v Speaker 3>Is there a world to where.

0:40:22.040 --> 0:40:25.000
<v Speaker 2>Forgiveness can happen and a reconciliation can happen.

0:40:25.640 --> 0:40:26.080
<v Speaker 4>I'm sorry.

0:40:30.360 --> 0:40:35.279
<v Speaker 2>So one thing we know about men, Let's have a

0:40:35.320 --> 0:40:39.400
<v Speaker 2>real conversation, Crystal. One thing we know about men in

0:40:39.440 --> 0:40:43.360
<v Speaker 2>the industry, whether they're a rapper, a singer, an athlete,

0:40:43.520 --> 0:40:48.360
<v Speaker 2>or whatever, most of them have the ego the size

0:40:48.800 --> 0:40:55.560
<v Speaker 2>of Bigfoot. You know, they have a big ego. And

0:40:55.680 --> 0:41:00.680
<v Speaker 2>sometimes these men feel like I have giving you this

0:41:00.760 --> 0:41:04.799
<v Speaker 2>amazing lifestyle. You don't have to work, you have a

0:41:04.840 --> 0:41:09.600
<v Speaker 2>credit card that's limitless. I'm able to give you this

0:41:09.640 --> 0:41:14.000
<v Speaker 2>big house, these nice cars, he's fancy jewelry, And sometimes

0:41:14.120 --> 0:41:17.880
<v Speaker 2>these men feel like, if I'm able to give you

0:41:18.000 --> 0:41:22.239
<v Speaker 2>that you should then they should be there. Yes, but

0:41:22.280 --> 0:41:25.399
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna gag you. I'm gonna gag you. A lot

0:41:25.400 --> 0:41:29.319
<v Speaker 2>of women also feel that way. That girl, if you

0:41:29.880 --> 0:41:32.560
<v Speaker 2>chilling and have a good life, if this man want

0:41:32.600 --> 0:41:36.320
<v Speaker 2>to stick his dick in something allegedly or or whatever,

0:41:37.040 --> 0:41:40.640
<v Speaker 2>then girl, turn turn the other cheek.

0:41:40.400 --> 0:41:42.799
<v Speaker 3>And keep it moving. What do you say to women

0:41:42.840 --> 0:41:43.560
<v Speaker 3>who think that way?

0:41:43.719 --> 0:41:45.400
<v Speaker 4>I'm glad, I'm glad you asked that question.

0:41:46.160 --> 0:41:49.840
<v Speaker 1>So in the beginning of all of this and I

0:41:49.840 --> 0:41:52.560
<v Speaker 1>put that post, and even now to this day, the

0:41:52.680 --> 0:41:58.560
<v Speaker 1>amount of women I'm so disappointed that encouraged me to

0:41:58.600 --> 0:42:01.200
<v Speaker 1>stay instead those same to me, women that are like

0:42:01.239 --> 0:42:03.880
<v Speaker 1>I've been in my marriage twenty years, thirty years and

0:42:03.920 --> 0:42:05.799
<v Speaker 1>all of this and this is what happens, and just

0:42:05.840 --> 0:42:08.080
<v Speaker 1>accept it or get you somebody on the side, or

0:42:08.200 --> 0:42:09.560
<v Speaker 1>you know what I'm saying, as long as he paying

0:42:09.560 --> 0:42:09.799
<v Speaker 1>for this.

0:42:10.160 --> 0:42:11.080
<v Speaker 4>You got me fucked up.

0:42:11.719 --> 0:42:14.560
<v Speaker 1>And I'm sorry that at your old age that you

0:42:14.600 --> 0:42:17.560
<v Speaker 1>are still dealing with that and you don't respect yourself

0:42:17.640 --> 0:42:18.800
<v Speaker 1>enough to walk the fuck away.

0:42:19.080 --> 0:42:20.399
<v Speaker 4>You know what I'm saying for.

0:42:20.480 --> 0:42:23.400
<v Speaker 1>Me, I don't care what you have because when I

0:42:23.480 --> 0:42:25.239
<v Speaker 1>wasn't a broke bitch when you met me.

0:42:25.520 --> 0:42:27.360
<v Speaker 4>I was making great money, you know what I'm saying.

0:42:27.719 --> 0:42:29.600
<v Speaker 4>So that is not a fear of mine.

0:42:29.719 --> 0:42:32.040
<v Speaker 1>I have a hustle spirit, so I don't care how

0:42:32.080 --> 0:42:33.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna get it, but I'm gonna get it, you

0:42:33.640 --> 0:42:37.200
<v Speaker 1>know what I'm saying. So there's no amount of money,

0:42:37.960 --> 0:42:44.360
<v Speaker 1>monetary material, nothing that is worth my fucking self respect.

0:42:44.760 --> 0:42:47.080
<v Speaker 1>My grandmother raised me, and she'd be turning over her

0:42:47.120 --> 0:42:49.919
<v Speaker 1>grave if she knew I was accepting something like that.

0:42:50.120 --> 0:42:52.320
<v Speaker 1>And it's just it's sad that a lot of these women,

0:42:52.320 --> 0:42:55.080
<v Speaker 1>they really feel like that, like you don't have enough

0:42:55.080 --> 0:42:58.879
<v Speaker 1>worth in yourself and belief in yourself that you can

0:42:58.920 --> 0:43:01.359
<v Speaker 1>get out and leave this person and figure out something else.

0:43:01.760 --> 0:43:03.799
<v Speaker 1>What it is to me, it says lazy, what it

0:43:03.840 --> 0:43:06.719
<v Speaker 1>is says I just I'll deal with whatever because he

0:43:06.760 --> 0:43:10.440
<v Speaker 1>pays my bills. I'm sorry not doing that. I'm not

0:43:10.480 --> 0:43:10.920
<v Speaker 1>doing that.

0:43:11.160 --> 0:43:12.200
<v Speaker 4>I don't care who you are.

0:43:12.520 --> 0:43:14.759
<v Speaker 1>And it's sad because I just really wish women will

0:43:14.800 --> 0:43:17.520
<v Speaker 1>wake up one day and realize their power that they have,

0:43:17.960 --> 0:43:20.120
<v Speaker 1>because just like a man could do it, so can you.

0:43:20.120 --> 0:43:20.800
<v Speaker 4>You see these.

0:43:20.640 --> 0:43:23.120
<v Speaker 1>Women on the Star Street with the little little orange

0:43:23.160 --> 0:43:24.480
<v Speaker 1>things on and be doing a construction.

0:43:25.120 --> 0:43:27.400
<v Speaker 4>The bitches are strong. They do the same job that

0:43:27.440 --> 0:43:28.080
<v Speaker 4>a man does.

0:43:28.440 --> 0:43:30.680
<v Speaker 1>So why you think and go to a meeting and

0:43:30.719 --> 0:43:32.160
<v Speaker 1>go do this and do all that the same thing

0:43:32.200 --> 0:43:34.200
<v Speaker 1>that the man does. You know what I'm saying, Like,

0:43:34.640 --> 0:43:36.160
<v Speaker 1>just because a man got a lot of money, don't

0:43:36.160 --> 0:43:37.120
<v Speaker 1>mean you can't have a lot of money.

0:43:37.160 --> 0:43:38.000
<v Speaker 4>You can make it yourself.

0:43:38.200 --> 0:43:40.759
<v Speaker 2>No, I agree with you, and your story reminds me

0:43:40.800 --> 0:43:43.399
<v Speaker 2>a lot of Melody Hope, who I know you're friends

0:43:43.480 --> 0:43:46.120
<v Speaker 2>with as well. She and I also have this conversation

0:43:46.200 --> 0:43:49.040
<v Speaker 2>because a lot of women told her she should stay

0:43:49.440 --> 0:43:53.160
<v Speaker 2>in her situation because they felt like girl a magna cheat.

0:43:53.280 --> 0:43:55.480
<v Speaker 2>So if a rich mag gon cheat on you, at

0:43:55.560 --> 0:43:58.200
<v Speaker 2>least you get to enjoy the lifestyle. But one thing

0:43:58.239 --> 0:44:00.920
<v Speaker 2>I do know about you is, again going back to

0:44:00.960 --> 0:44:03.839
<v Speaker 2>even how y'all met, you were never pressed, going back

0:44:03.840 --> 0:44:07.000
<v Speaker 2>to you working with Carlos King on a reality show,

0:44:07.719 --> 0:44:11.200
<v Speaker 2>you were not pressed about it. And I would never

0:44:11.560 --> 0:44:15.200
<v Speaker 2>even assume that you would stay in a situation that

0:44:15.320 --> 0:44:19.400
<v Speaker 2>you felt like wasn't serving you your greatest potential, because

0:44:19.440 --> 0:44:21.120
<v Speaker 2>at the end of the day, you're not pressed.

0:44:21.120 --> 0:44:23.600
<v Speaker 3>And one thing I want the world to know about you.

0:44:23.600 --> 0:44:24.800
<v Speaker 3>You made it this far.

0:44:26.160 --> 0:44:30.880
<v Speaker 2>Without the help of a man, So what makes anyone

0:44:31.000 --> 0:44:32.520
<v Speaker 2>think you can't do it.

0:44:32.440 --> 0:44:34.839
<v Speaker 1>Again because they didn't step out on the own and

0:44:34.880 --> 0:44:37.520
<v Speaker 1>have the strength to walk away. But like I said,

0:44:37.520 --> 0:44:40.279
<v Speaker 1>I'm not a conformist, and just because you want to

0:44:40.320 --> 0:44:43.440
<v Speaker 1>tell me your story doesn't mean that I'm gonna fall

0:44:43.520 --> 0:44:46.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna follow that advice because you probably should take

0:44:46.640 --> 0:44:48.880
<v Speaker 1>some advice out of my book. I I just I

0:44:48.960 --> 0:44:51.080
<v Speaker 1>just don't understand it. I don't get it. Like when

0:44:51.120 --> 0:44:54.160
<v Speaker 1>you're now, when you get married, no one's perfect, No

0:44:54.200 --> 0:44:57.759
<v Speaker 1>one's perfect. So you go through things, you go through obstacles,

0:44:57.920 --> 0:45:00.280
<v Speaker 1>people make mistakes, and when you're married, it's like, oh, okay,

0:45:01.280 --> 0:45:05.200
<v Speaker 1>I can forgive this. I can forgive that we're starting fresh,

0:45:05.200 --> 0:45:08.680
<v Speaker 1>we're starting over. But when something becomes a pattern, that's

0:45:08.719 --> 0:45:09.400
<v Speaker 1>who you are.

0:45:10.000 --> 0:45:11.080
<v Speaker 4>That's not a mistake.

0:45:11.480 --> 0:45:15.080
<v Speaker 1>I can speak because from experience, I feel like when

0:45:15.120 --> 0:45:16.799
<v Speaker 1>they first make a mistake or the second time they

0:45:16.880 --> 0:45:19.280
<v Speaker 1>make a mistake, you kind of like lie to yourself

0:45:19.320 --> 0:45:23.760
<v Speaker 1>and play your mind to thinking that okay, that happened,

0:45:23.760 --> 0:45:25.759
<v Speaker 1>and now my life is perfect and now we're good,

0:45:25.960 --> 0:45:27.840
<v Speaker 1>and so now I can take a mad faced value

0:45:27.880 --> 0:45:29.920
<v Speaker 1>when really that's not the case. All they do is

0:45:30.000 --> 0:45:33.000
<v Speaker 1>learn how to get slicker. So I just I am

0:45:33.040 --> 0:45:34.799
<v Speaker 1>not a person that I want to go crazy. I

0:45:34.800 --> 0:45:36.799
<v Speaker 1>don't want to stress every time you walk out the

0:45:36.840 --> 0:45:38.920
<v Speaker 1>door or any of those kind of things like.

0:45:38.880 --> 0:45:41.439
<v Speaker 4>That's not a way to live at all.

0:45:42.000 --> 0:45:47.000
<v Speaker 1>That creates that Really like a person basically like lying

0:45:47.080 --> 0:45:49.480
<v Speaker 1>to you all the time, manipulating you all that, making

0:45:49.560 --> 0:45:51.680
<v Speaker 1>you think that another life is something, and then when

0:45:51.719 --> 0:45:54.480
<v Speaker 1>you confront them, they gaslight you and make you think

0:45:54.520 --> 0:45:54.960
<v Speaker 1>that you're crazy.

0:45:55.000 --> 0:45:57.600
<v Speaker 4>That's mental abuse, you know what I'm saying.

0:45:57.800 --> 0:46:01.759
<v Speaker 1>That's emotional abuse, because now you're looking at yourself and

0:46:01.800 --> 0:46:04.560
<v Speaker 1>you're feeling bad, and you're like, damn, what's wrong with

0:46:04.640 --> 0:46:07.040
<v Speaker 1>me that I can't I can't be trusting. I can't

0:46:07.280 --> 0:46:09.319
<v Speaker 1>I'm thinking this way and I'm thinking that way. No,

0:46:09.400 --> 0:46:12.000
<v Speaker 1>you're thinking that way because God is trying to tell

0:46:12.040 --> 0:46:14.480
<v Speaker 1>you something. Your intuition, it's trying to tell you something.

0:46:14.680 --> 0:46:16.600
<v Speaker 1>But then you got this person that's making you think

0:46:16.640 --> 0:46:19.880
<v Speaker 1>that you're crazy. So for me, I just got to

0:46:19.920 --> 0:46:20.640
<v Speaker 1>our living like that.

0:46:20.920 --> 0:46:24.200
<v Speaker 2>I'm just happy you were able to have the strength

0:46:24.200 --> 0:46:28.160
<v Speaker 2>to do it because I know that leaving any situation

0:46:28.200 --> 0:46:29.480
<v Speaker 2>when it involves your family.

0:46:29.560 --> 0:46:30.240
<v Speaker 3>Isn't easy.

0:46:30.760 --> 0:46:34.160
<v Speaker 2>And what was interesting is Vibica Fox on her show

0:46:34.360 --> 0:46:37.080
<v Speaker 2>made a comment. Not sure if you saw it, but

0:46:37.200 --> 0:46:39.640
<v Speaker 2>she obviously was like, go get counseling for yourself so

0:46:39.680 --> 0:46:42.000
<v Speaker 2>that you will know that you deserve a man to

0:46:42.040 --> 0:46:44.920
<v Speaker 2>treat you like a queen. Stop staying for the fame

0:46:45.080 --> 0:46:46.240
<v Speaker 2>and Instagram post.

0:46:46.680 --> 0:46:47.280
<v Speaker 4>You know, I.

0:46:47.160 --> 0:46:51.120
<v Speaker 1>Appreciate Vibica for, you know, trying to be supportive as

0:46:51.120 --> 0:46:54.400
<v Speaker 1>a woman, but it kind of was like, you're saying

0:46:54.440 --> 0:46:57.640
<v Speaker 1>misinformation because I wasn't waiting for an Instagram post or

0:46:57.640 --> 0:46:59.400
<v Speaker 1>for a lifestyle or for Chanelle bag.

0:46:59.239 --> 0:46:59.920
<v Speaker 4>You know what I'm saying.

0:47:00.160 --> 0:47:01.920
<v Speaker 1>And I didn't stay for that and I didn't accept

0:47:01.920 --> 0:47:05.600
<v Speaker 1>anything for that and definitely don't get no STDs.

0:47:05.760 --> 0:47:07.360
<v Speaker 4>Thank you God, you know what I'm saying.

0:47:07.680 --> 0:47:10.759
<v Speaker 1>But again, what she was trying to say, I'm just

0:47:10.760 --> 0:47:11.400
<v Speaker 1>not that girl.

0:47:11.719 --> 0:47:12.279
<v Speaker 4>You know what I'm saying.

0:47:12.520 --> 0:47:15.200
<v Speaker 1>I know my self worth and it just happened that

0:47:15.719 --> 0:47:18.920
<v Speaker 1>my marriage is public and so the breakup is public.

0:47:19.120 --> 0:47:19.719
<v Speaker 4>You know what I'm saying.

0:47:19.719 --> 0:47:21.920
<v Speaker 1>But I'm not one of those weak girls that is

0:47:21.960 --> 0:47:24.799
<v Speaker 1>just gonna fall for anything or accept anything for a

0:47:24.840 --> 0:47:25.880
<v Speaker 1>lifestyle period.

0:47:27.200 --> 0:47:30.400
<v Speaker 4>But thank you, Nibica. I appreciate it, but that's not me.

0:47:30.600 --> 0:47:34.399
<v Speaker 2>And lastly, what advice would you give women who are

0:47:34.560 --> 0:47:41.600
<v Speaker 2>currently in a marriage to where they just feel like, girl,

0:47:41.840 --> 0:47:45.760
<v Speaker 2>let me just stay because I have nothing to worry about.

0:47:46.239 --> 0:47:49.720
<v Speaker 2>But yes, when he leaves the house, my stomach hurts.

0:47:50.239 --> 0:47:54.040
<v Speaker 2>I'm constantly maybe checking his phone. I'm in a situation

0:47:54.200 --> 0:47:59.560
<v Speaker 2>to where my kids see that their mom is stressed.

0:48:00.120 --> 0:48:02.880
<v Speaker 4>Then guess what, you do have something to worry about.

0:48:03.200 --> 0:48:03.719
<v Speaker 4>Just because of.

0:48:03.640 --> 0:48:05.120
<v Speaker 1>How a roof is over your head and you can

0:48:05.160 --> 0:48:07.800
<v Speaker 1>take trips whenever you want, doesn't mean that that's a

0:48:07.840 --> 0:48:11.160
<v Speaker 1>stress free life because you're stressing yourself out. No one

0:48:11.200 --> 0:48:14.040
<v Speaker 1>deserves to live like that, No one that man. Because

0:48:14.360 --> 0:48:16.960
<v Speaker 1>stress and anxiety and manifests.

0:48:16.520 --> 0:48:19.239
<v Speaker 4>Into physical in medical And you.

0:48:19.160 --> 0:48:21.960
<v Speaker 1>Get stressed and you got highpertension, your hair's falling now,

0:48:22.040 --> 0:48:24.040
<v Speaker 1>your skin is bad. You can't eat, you ain't drinking

0:48:24.040 --> 0:48:26.640
<v Speaker 1>no water. That's something to worry about, you know what

0:48:26.680 --> 0:48:29.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm saying. And if you are okay with looking crazy

0:48:29.360 --> 0:48:31.839
<v Speaker 1>and stressed out and walking around the house, row ain't

0:48:31.840 --> 0:48:34.160
<v Speaker 1>bathing two days and your kids are driving you crazy

0:48:34.200 --> 0:48:35.320
<v Speaker 1>because you worried about.

0:48:35.040 --> 0:48:38.320
<v Speaker 4>What this man is doing, that's a problem. That's a problem.

0:48:38.520 --> 0:48:41.560
<v Speaker 1>That's a condition of your heart being broken, and you

0:48:41.560 --> 0:48:44.840
<v Speaker 1>don't even realize that it's broken because you're pacifying and

0:48:45.040 --> 0:48:48.120
<v Speaker 1>gluing these little pieces together in your heart with trips

0:48:48.239 --> 0:48:50.640
<v Speaker 1>and bags and shoes and jewelry and all that stuff

0:48:51.880 --> 0:48:54.640
<v Speaker 1>in your mind and your front. So you think that like, Okay,

0:48:54.680 --> 0:48:57.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm good, I'm fine, like it's working out, when you're

0:48:57.239 --> 0:48:58.160
<v Speaker 1>dying inside.

0:48:58.719 --> 0:49:00.280
<v Speaker 4>No one deserves to live like.

0:49:00.160 --> 0:49:04.560
<v Speaker 2>That, especially you, baby. So what's next for Crystal? Like

0:49:04.680 --> 0:49:10.320
<v Speaker 2>what can the world expect from you? Because I'm happy

0:49:10.360 --> 0:49:12.680
<v Speaker 2>to see that my girl with her red lips, honey,

0:49:12.800 --> 0:49:16.040
<v Speaker 2>is looking good, looking, refreshed, looking vibrant.

0:49:16.280 --> 0:49:17.640
<v Speaker 3>What's next for you, baby?

0:49:18.200 --> 0:49:20.880
<v Speaker 1>Well, you know, we have the restaurant Johnny's Chicken and

<v Speaker 1>will be coming out sometimes top of the year.

<v Speaker 4>And I have other few projects lined up. You'll hear

0:49:35.880 --> 0:49:36.520
<v Speaker 4>about them soon.

0:49:36.719 --> 0:49:38.439
<v Speaker 2>Well, I better be a part of one of them,

0:49:38.480 --> 0:49:40.880
<v Speaker 2>because I need to get you back on reality TV, honey,

0:49:41.000 --> 0:49:41.759
<v Speaker 2>I hope so.

0:49:41.880 --> 0:49:44.319
<v Speaker 4>But you know, just make sure it's the cast is great.

0:49:46.200 --> 0:49:48.400
<v Speaker 4>I got some paint up aggression of it, and.

0:49:52.120 --> 0:49:56.760
<v Speaker 3>Don't worry, we will. We won't work on that together. Happy,

0:49:56.840 --> 0:49:59.439
<v Speaker 3>That's it and that's all I want from you too.

0:50:00.040 --> 0:50:03.400
<v Speaker 3>So what you know? You are a beautiful girl.

0:50:03.640 --> 0:50:04.400
<v Speaker 4>You know what I'm saying.

0:50:05.080 --> 0:50:07.680
<v Speaker 3>You know you're a bad check. You know you're a

0:50:07.760 --> 0:50:09.840
<v Speaker 3>good Crystal. You know you know Crystal. You know you

0:50:09.920 --> 0:50:10.359
<v Speaker 3>pine girl.

0:50:10.560 --> 0:50:18.480
<v Speaker 2>So is Crystal. Dating is Crystal? You know have men

0:50:18.480 --> 0:50:19.920
<v Speaker 2>been your dms Crystal lately?

0:50:20.440 --> 0:50:27.240
<v Speaker 4>The wrong one the wrong ones?

0:50:27.680 --> 0:50:28.960
<v Speaker 1>And then it's like, I'm gonna say this to you

0:50:29.040 --> 0:50:31.840
<v Speaker 1>men when a woman is going through these type of things,

0:50:32.200 --> 0:50:35.000
<v Speaker 1>like give her some time because right now you're gonna

0:50:35.040 --> 0:50:37.799
<v Speaker 1>catch every piece of that ain't meant for you.

0:50:38.280 --> 0:50:39.960
<v Speaker 4>So you know right now I'm just working on me.

0:50:40.560 --> 0:50:43.840
<v Speaker 4>You know what I'm saying. Dating is not really on

0:50:43.920 --> 0:50:46.359
<v Speaker 4>my radar. You know what I'm saying. I'm not saying

0:50:46.360 --> 0:50:48.000
<v Speaker 4>that I don't hind a body manbe style every day.

0:50:48.000 --> 0:50:50.239
<v Speaker 1>It might takes me a look good morning, but I'm

0:50:50.280 --> 0:50:52.879
<v Speaker 1>not like physically out there.

0:50:53.280 --> 0:50:54.040
<v Speaker 4>I ain't outside.

0:50:54.160 --> 0:50:56.319
<v Speaker 2>You ain't outside. Although there's some men who wants to

0:50:56.360 --> 0:50:58.239
<v Speaker 2>come inside, but leave it.

0:51:02.480 --> 0:51:03.440
<v Speaker 4>This is the wrong.

0:51:05.040 --> 0:51:05.359
<v Speaker 3>For them.

0:51:08.560 --> 0:51:12.160
<v Speaker 1>But I will say, Crystal is not in love with

0:51:12.360 --> 0:51:13.400
<v Speaker 1>anyone right now?

0:51:13.640 --> 0:51:16.600
<v Speaker 3>Are you done dating men in the music industry?

0:51:17.120 --> 0:51:20.560
<v Speaker 4>You know what? Only God knows.

0:51:20.760 --> 0:51:22.560
<v Speaker 1>I have been saying that as of late, like I

0:51:22.560 --> 0:51:25.040
<v Speaker 1>don't want anybody in industry and all that stuff because

0:51:25.320 --> 0:51:27.400
<v Speaker 1>you never know what it comes with. But then on

0:51:27.440 --> 0:51:30.000
<v Speaker 1>the other side of the coin, you can never say never.

0:51:30.239 --> 0:51:34.040
<v Speaker 1>And then also the fact that, like you had said earlier, oh,

0:51:34.120 --> 0:51:37.680
<v Speaker 1>all men cheat, I refuse to accept that and to

0:51:37.680 --> 0:51:40.840
<v Speaker 1>believe that because maybe men have cheated and some of

0:51:40.840 --> 0:51:42.279
<v Speaker 1>the men have learned their lesson.

0:51:42.400 --> 0:51:44.799
<v Speaker 4>But I'm not going to accept that.

0:51:45.080 --> 0:51:47.359
<v Speaker 1>Just this is just a part of life and being

0:51:47.360 --> 0:51:49.960
<v Speaker 1>with someone, absolutely not, because if you cheat, I'm.

0:51:49.800 --> 0:51:51.120
<v Speaker 4>Out, you know what I'm saying.

0:51:51.440 --> 0:51:54.640
<v Speaker 1>So for me, I am an advocate for love and

0:51:54.680 --> 0:51:57.600
<v Speaker 1>being in love and all those things. So whatever God

0:51:57.640 --> 0:51:59.880
<v Speaker 1>has for me, I'm going to be open to it

0:52:00.080 --> 0:52:03.839
<v Speaker 1>once I've healed. But for right now, I just want

0:52:03.840 --> 0:52:05.719
<v Speaker 1>to have fun, you know what I'm saying. I don't

0:52:05.719 --> 0:52:08.960
<v Speaker 1>want anything serious. I just want to enjoy life and

0:52:09.000 --> 0:52:10.480
<v Speaker 1>whatever that may bring, I'm.

0:52:10.360 --> 0:52:11.000
<v Speaker 4>Open to it.

0:52:11.160 --> 0:52:13.839
<v Speaker 3>And you deserve the best. Baby. So Crystal, where can

0:52:13.960 --> 0:52:17.319
<v Speaker 3>people find you? Follow you and support you? My love.

0:52:17.880 --> 0:52:18.560
<v Speaker 4>Well, you know, I.

0:52:18.480 --> 0:52:20.160
<v Speaker 1>Only really mess with Insta because I've got time to

0:52:20.200 --> 0:52:23.959
<v Speaker 1>be on all them socials all days. You can find

0:52:23.960 --> 0:52:26.880
<v Speaker 1>me on Instagram at It's crystals men. That's really the

0:52:26.920 --> 0:52:28.400
<v Speaker 1>only social media I'm actually on.

0:52:28.680 --> 0:52:33.759
<v Speaker 2>Well, thank you baby, and you guys may be seeing Crystal.

0:52:34.880 --> 0:52:37.719
<v Speaker 3>On the tele bench of Green Sales. So anyways, I

0:52:37.880 --> 0:52:41.959
<v Speaker 3>love you, baby, and I shall see you soon, my love, I.

0:52:41.880 --> 0:52:42.319
<v Speaker 4>Love you too.

0:52:42.400 --> 0:52:49.360
<v Speaker 1>It's always a pleasure to speak with you, baby.

0:52:50.320 --> 0:52:52.279
<v Speaker 2>I can talk to Crystal all day. I love her

0:52:52.280 --> 0:52:57.839
<v Speaker 2>so much. And the best part about this conversation was the.

0:52:57.920 --> 0:52:59.560
<v Speaker 3>Advice that she gave.

0:52:59.520 --> 0:53:05.719
<v Speaker 2>Women who choose to stay in relationships or marriages that

0:53:05.880 --> 0:53:10.480
<v Speaker 2>doesn't serve the higher potential anymore. And that, to me

0:53:10.760 --> 0:53:15.000
<v Speaker 2>is the lesson in all of this. Regardless of this

0:53:15.040 --> 0:53:21.520
<v Speaker 2>person having money, or a lifestyle or a private jet, nothing, nothing,

0:53:21.840 --> 0:53:24.960
<v Speaker 2>can be more important than your mental health. And the

0:53:25.040 --> 0:53:28.879
<v Speaker 2>fact that Crystal decided to leave a situation that wasn't

0:53:28.920 --> 0:53:32.160
<v Speaker 2>serving her because she wasn't being the best woman she

0:53:32.200 --> 0:53:36.040
<v Speaker 2>could be through herself and her kids means the world

0:53:36.040 --> 0:53:39.239
<v Speaker 2>to me. And what's so interesting is it reminds me

0:53:39.320 --> 0:53:42.879
<v Speaker 2>a lot of Melody Chari from Love and marriage hunts Bill,

0:53:43.320 --> 0:53:46.880
<v Speaker 2>who was also told to stay in her marriage just

0:53:46.960 --> 0:53:50.160
<v Speaker 2>because that's what you're supposed to do. And I'm happy

0:53:50.160 --> 0:53:53.000
<v Speaker 2>that we were able to have a deep conversation to

0:53:53.040 --> 0:53:58.319
<v Speaker 2>where Crystals say like, no, if you're unhappy in your marriage,

0:53:58.640 --> 0:54:05.680
<v Speaker 2>no amount of money or lifestyle, it's worth it. Thank
