Positively Uncensored

Tonight I'm talking about everything that's happened this first week of press for the stars of Love Island US S7, Olandria's first interview, predictions for the reunion & Buzzfeed's BS 'Apology' to Chelley **TW: Racism**

Juan's diarrhea induced anxiety from being around Kenny affirms everything I was thinking....trash individual to his core.

Episodes six and seven left me with two questions....is the alleged "perfect match" in the room with us? Can we start calling MEN male-centered? As always, if you loved this episode, please do me a favor and like this video and subscribe so I can hear your thoughts next time!

WTF is going on in reality tv right now? As someone who believes that we can draw a lot of parallels about the issues in our society from watching reality tv....I think it's a fair assessment that we can also gauge where we are at a society.

This episode I will be diving into Beyond the Villa episode 4,(and why I'm not going to cover the episodes I missed), alleged resurfaced racist and colorists posts from Love Island S7 Winner Amaya, why I'm bothered by The Valley rewarding, inadvertently or not, abusive men and a quick recap of Perfect Match S3 episodes 1-6. Stay tuned to the end to see all the series I've been binging by myself lately and let me know if you decide to tune into any.

Trigger Warning: This episode contains discussions surrounding racism, colorism, DV, IPV, and child exploitation by way of family vlogging.

I've waited to formally record on Mariah and Caleb's breakup as he began posting his version of events early July, and I was waiting to hear Mariah address his claims and share her experience of the relationship. After watching Caleb's videos and taking Mariah's experience into context, I truly feel he was trying to 'get ahead' of her sharing her truth and try to dismantle her character and credibility.

Almost a year into the relationship, and a week before their anniversary, Kenny slips up and reveals the long game that he has been playing this whole time. One thing about a covert narcissist, he eventually slips up and can no longer hide his hand. Throughout the course of the LIVE I'm going to talk about the timeline of events that happened this last 48 hrs, the importance for shows like Love Island to protect Black women, starting with casting men who like and value Black women, and how this impacts the current series 'Beyond the Villa' that releases each month. I want this to be a space that uplifts JaNa and remembers that the pain of Black women is not just entertainment for us to discuss with no nuanced conversation behind things.

This was a hard listen for myself and I'm sure many others. For the purpose of my review, I'm going to be talking solely about Huda's commentary on her experience on Love Island S7. NOTE TW SA/CA: In regards to Huda's childhood, I feel immense empathy for her as no child should ever have to go through that or shoulder that experience ever, much less alone. Huda's past adds context to explain some of the behaviors we see show up before us today but it is not an excuse to mistreat others. I truly hope she gets in contact with the best therapist to help her work through things from her past and present so she can proceed intentionally in her future.

If you were here for my commentary during Love Island USA 6 you know that the sentence 'I agree with Kaylor' is one that I never thought I would say. Am I coming down with something, or is Liv being shady? ALSO, did everyone hear when Kenny referenced a podcast during the episode? No confirmation, but I think that was in reference to my episode with Connor here: https://youtu.be/RpRoJwuCbyQWhat was your peach and pit of episode 1? Let me know in the comments!

It's been a long one y'all...thank you to everyone who helped me get through this season and supported me along the way! Two things can be true: I'm happy for Amaya, she deserves the love she is getting AND Chellace not placing is absolutely criminal. Freak-o-Nico's date to Nolandria Island was the best part of the Finale...thank god this season is wrapped (until August) and NicOlandria Nation we are still up!

Today I'm joined by Marita Prodger from 'The Ultimatum Queer Love S2" to talk about her journey, post-show reflections, and answer all of our burning questions in her own words. We discuss the importance of understanding your partners love language, add context to her relationship with Ashley prior to the show, unseen moments from the Reunion and how therapy has been crucial for Marita's healing process. Marita reflects on what she learned from her trial marriage with Brittany and the meaningful friendships she still has today, and how we can support her music career at the end of the episode.

**Trigger Warning:** This episode contains discussion of domestic violence.
