The “The Real Host” was recently discussing her relationship with Jeezy when she got so touched that she shed some snow smitten tears. Earlier this week Jeannie told the ladies that tender trapper made a shockingly heartwarming gesture. According to Jeannie, Jeezy is super supportive—so much so though that he left his own birthday party early in Atlanta to personally drive her to the airport. She also compared his actions to those of her ex Freddy Harteis whom she divorced in December 2018. “When [Freddy] said things like ‘good for you’ or ‘that’s cool,’ I’m like, that’s great, he supports me! That to me is my standard of support. I didn’t even know until my new relationship that something as basic …” she said, before trailing off and tearing up. “I’m not crying to feel bad. It was just so touchy. But even something as basic as, like, at his birthday party, he left his own birthday to drive me to the airport…he was like ‘are you kidding? I want to see you off.’” Awww! She then added that being with Jeezy has made her reevaluate her standards. “Be mindful of your standards,” she said, “Sometimes being alone in that time I took for myself, was my upgrade.” Watch Jeannie get emotional about Jeezy below. Jeannie previously stated that she and Jeezy had an 8-hour first date and Jeezy gave her a homework assignment. “He looks at me, he goes, ‘Can I give you a homework assignment?… I want you to think about the last eight hours we spent together, and think about what do you envision us doing together. What do you picture me being in your life? If that matches my notes, I will pursue you. If not, we’re cool to be friends.’” R O M A N C E, right???
Source: Paras Griffin / Getty The Real host Jeannie Mai is starting to open up about her relationship with rapper Jeezy and we are here for it. On Wednesday’s (Oct. 9) episode of the daytime talk show, Jeannie Mai revealed to her castmates that her standards were pretty low during her marriage. Mai states that she accepted the “bare minimum” when it came to support from her now ex-husband Freddy Harteis . “When [Freddy] said things like ‘good for you’ or ‘that’s cool,’ I’m like, that’s great, he supports me! That to me is my standard of support. I didn’t even know until my new relationship that something as basic,” Jeannie Mai said emotionally. Mai states that Jeezy helped show her what real support was and became tearful when recalling how the “Snowman” rapper left his birthday party to take her to the airport. “I’m not crying to feel bad,” Mai continued tearfully. “It was just so touchy. But even something as basic as, like, at his birthday party, he left his own birthday to drive me to the airport, he was like ‘are you kidding? I want to see you off.’” Despite her revelations, Jeannie Mai insists that she doesn’t blame her ex for the downfall of their marriage, instead, she states that she learned the importance of loving herself and taking time out to be truly single to avoid settling for a relationship that doesn’t meet her standards. As previously reported , the couple went public with their relationship in August to the shock of many fans. The “enTRAPreneur” and The Real co-host made their swirl official with some professional photos shared exclusively by People Magazine. In other Jeezy news, the rapper announced he’s hitting the road with his The Return of Snow, All White Winter Megafest concert. The Detroit show will, of course, feature Jeezy and friends, with some special appearances by artists from the Detroit area. The concert is slated to take place on December 13 at the Little Ceasars Arena. Tickets are scheduled to go on sale Friday, October 11 at 10 a.m. and can be purchased at 313Presents.com or Ticketmaster.com. Check out the clip from The Real below.
Even though Kenya Moore is returning for Season 12 of The Real Housewives of Atlanta , her love life isn’t doing nearly as well as her reality career. Indeed, in September we learned that she regained her peach but lost her love, as she announced that she’s divorcing Marc Daly. Now, we finally know why. Dude wanted her to give up her whole life for him, then went and cheated on her left and right. On Thursday, Us Weekly reported that Marc Daly was cheating on Kenya, and this wasn’t just a single mistress or a one-time thing. “Marc has had multiple affairs on Kenya,” the insider reveals. “She walked away from her career for him,” the source observes. “And,” the insider notes. “He had no problem with that.” The source then accuses: “and no problem disrespecting her.” Just weeks ago, on September 19, Kenya announced that her marriage is over already. “It is with profound sadness that I regret to inform my fans that I am divorcing my husband, Marc Daly,” Kenya began. Her statement went out of its way to be vague. “Due to recent and ongoing circumstances,” she explained. “I can no longer continue in the marriage.” That could be anything and everything, and she knew it. “My sole concern and focus is and will always be my daughter, Brooklyn,” Kenya correctly added. Once you create a person, you owe them everything. The best of your attention, your patience, your love, and your time. She goes on to refer to Brooklyn as “my miracle baby.” Notably, Kenya gave birth to Brooklyn past the age at which doctors generally recommend a pregnancy. Kenya affirmed: “She was made in love and true commitment.” Clearly, that last line was a reference to Marc’s cheating, possibly intended to point fans in that direction without saying anything directly. Finally, Kenya concluded: “I ask for our privacy to be respected moving forward.” Not to be all that’s what they all say , but generally, most statements aboud divorce, separation, breaking up, or a family death end with that line. Up to a point, it’s a very reasonable request, but they know that fans will be curious. And, of course, reality stars and other celebrities know that their cultural relevance is largely contingent upon fans keeping up with their lives. It’s obviously hugely disappointing to hear that Marc is allegedly a no good cheater. One, that’s hugely unfair to Kenya, a human being with feelings. It’s also unfair to Brooklyn, though she doesn’t know that yet. But as you may recall, Marc was aggressively camera-shy, to the point where they had a secret wedding that almost got Kenya fired on the spot. His reason for avoiding The Real Housewives of Atlanta was that he felt that the show portrays black men in a negative light. In particular, he resented how black men seemed to be shown to be worse partners in comparison to white men. He was absolutely right to say that. People have written entire dissertations on reality shows and this one in particular. Reality television rewards bad bheavior in its stars, but has a particularly negative effect upon public perceptions of black stars. Eventually, Marc did agree to appear on the show. But he can’t blame Bravo’s cameras for his infidelity, now can he? Unfortunately, someone can be right about an important issue and still be a garbage person in their private life.

Along with Lisa Bonet, Beyoncé has also suited up as Lil Kim, Toni Braxton and Florence “Flo-Jo” Griffith Joyner in the past. In a moment of reflection on her site, Bey wrote in a birthday letter, “Thank you from the depths of me for all my birthday loving. I had an incredible B-day! I’m grateful for every breath. I thank God for all of my blessings, my wins and my losses. I thank God for all of you! I would have posted earlier, but I had work to do. I gotta job Baaaaby. Here is your B at 37. Love Y’all.” Meanwhile, Lisa Bonet continues to be celebrated by people across generations. The actress gained prominence when she starred as Denise Huxtable on The Cosby Show from 1984 to 1991. She also took on the same role for the sitcom A Different World from 1987 to 1989. Up until today, the 51-year-old actress would make T.V. and movie appearances every now and then, from Biker Boyz to Road to Paloma , which stars her husband Jason Momoa .

On Wedneday, September 11, Larissa Lima and Eric Nichols broke up after a hot and steamy seven months. But it turns out that the breakup was not mutual. In fact, Eric has revealed that Larissa dumped him … over Instagram. To make matters worse, Eric has now found the perfect way to exact revenge. Eric Nichols (whose name was initially reported as Eric Foster) dated Larissa from early February until early September. Unfortunately, their breakup has not been as amicable as anyone (save those of us who get to write about it) had hoped. Eric has taken to his Instagram to share a screenshot of his travel itinerary from his Colorado trip, saying that it was the catalyst for the split. ‘After posting this to my story,” Eric writes. “She DM’d me via Instagram very upset, accusing me that I didn’t invite her, so on and so forth.” He points out that “she herself had been sharing excitement in her stories over the upcoming Colorado trip for the past couple months.” Larissa had made that clear to fans, he adds, “and was literally talking with one of my brothers about it THE NIGHT BEFORE.” “When I had put my phone down to shower and show my house to a future tenant,” Eric reveals. “I got a call from my mother about an hour later.” He says that his mom called “asking ‘are you doing okay?’ And she said ‘I saw a post from :&@:% on FB that you’re parting ways.'” “I didn’t think much of it,” Eric admits. “And,” he continues, he “said ‘I’m not sure, I haven’t seen it yet, but will soon. We’ll be okay, these arguments happen between us often.'” Eric notes that he thought it was an incident “like when she archives our photos from Instagram when she’s upset.” “Continuing my conversation with mother ‘Debie/Duke’ for another 20-30 minutes,” Eric narrates. He writes that he did so “not realizing when we got off the phone, I’d be going back to my DM’s to find multiple messages from my X.” Eric says that Larissa messaged him “stating a finalized break up on her ‘now’ terms.” “From there,” he writes. “I realized I was blocked and the apology DM’s were already packed.” Hard to make things right if you can’t get in touch with someone. Word to the wise: don’t be impatient. “Here’s the thing….” Eric tells his followers. “Lots of fabrication, secrets, stress, endless arguments, and hoops that turned into spirals.” “But,” he emphasizes. “There were some high level times.” We should hope so. The two were an item for seven months! ‘I don’t wish this girl good luck or bad luck,” Eric promises. “I just wish her a new boyfriend…. or husband,” he expresses. “In the history of an 8 month ordeal I am appreciative of certain outcomes,” Eric writes. He and Larissa both do this thing where they count both the starting month and ending month of a relationship. They dated for seven months. “All in all, I do want to give a big shout out to the haters who are instigator traders that balance out the positives,” he shares. “Lastly,” Eric concludes. “I want to give a monstrous THANK YOU TO ALL supportive friends who follow with love & synergy!” That is very sweet of him. But lately, Eric’s attitude has turned a little less sweet. He has been hanging out with Coltee — Larissa’s other, more infamous ex. Eric even spent time with Debbie and with the slot machine that Larissa so despised. This is a giant middle finger to Larissa if there ever were one. Some believe that Eric and Larissa were getting a reality TV deal that Larissa ruined with the breakup, which might explain his spiteful behavior. But maybe it’s just human nature. It’s hard to fall out of love without some bitterness. This is still a fresh wound.
