Welcome back Still Dope Fam

Today Tanya, Chris and Shahidah are dishing on the latest episode of MAFS and the Beyhive. (Keep Beyonce's name out your mouth if you aint coming correct!)

We are wrapping up the MAFS season from hell with part one of the reunion and the FAB Vanessa Williams pops in (right before she goes on stage of her Broadway hit POTUS) to give her take on the cast!

#MAFSBOSTON #VanessaWilliams #RealityTV #Potus

Decisions were made and no one celebrated. I guess a cheers are in order for the end of the most toxic, most abusive and dysfunctional season we have seen in all the fourteen seasons. Goodbye Boston cast and good luck!

What is more important in the Black relationships love or respect?

 

I don't think you can have one without the other and on the death of infamous can controversial self-proclaimed black love expert Kevin Samuels the internets beefed on what he brought to that conversation.

#blacklove #blackwomen #blackmen #blackrelationships #kevinsamuels 

A lot of Black women, Tanya and I included, felt he disrespected Black women for dollars and entertainment. Others felt he was teaching women the hard truths on why they can't get or keep a man.

His death is not being mourned with love or respect but its in brand with how he lived and spoke his truth with neither love or respect for our community.

 

How do you feel about his messages and death? Let us know!

Decision day is coming and we cannot wait! Not because we are rooting for anyone but because we are ready for this train wreck to end! 

How are yall feeling on what these Boston couples are going to say?

Here our thoughts on this last episode and predictions for Decision Day!

Episode 15 was just a repeat of episode 14, 13, 12...Sigh

We are all counting down to the end of this toxic and boring season. How yall feeling about it?

The season is wrapping up and thank goodness. There are no clear likeable couples that everyone roots for and quite frankly we are all bored with the arguing and drama. Hear, that #Lifetime? We are bored with the fabricated drama and miserable individuals!

It's almost over!

Hey Fam, we are back for episode 14 of Married At First Sight and Chris, Shahidah, and Tanya are joined by Tanya's cousin Mya and her bestie Kate! It's alway interesting to hear other's point of view on the drama that is a very boring yet toxic season of Married At First Sight.

Last night Chris Rock told a joke about Jada Pinkett Smith. Will Smith laughed at the joke but his wife was not pleased at all then Will Smith proceeded to walk up on the stage approaching a smiling Chri Rock and without warning smacked him across the face. He walked back to his seat as the the stunned audience looked on, sat down and yelled 'Keep my wifes name out your mfing mouth' Twice, he said it TWICE to reiterate I guess that he was was really mfing serious.

Then he won an Oscar for Best Actor.

The internet has been buzzed all day going back in forth on who's right and who's wrong- Chris, got what he had coming to him, you don't talk about a man's wife' or 'Will was totally out of line to bring violence to the Oscars'.

The joke was about Jada's bald head. Her head is bald due to an automimmue disease where the white blood cells attack the hair follicles called alopecia.Since last night Chris Rock and Will Smith have issued apologies. Chris said he wanted to apologize to his friends Jada and Will. He said he was out of line but did not know about her condition. Will apologized to Chris saying "Violence in all forms is poisonous and destructive."

I wish Will had taken a moment as he strolled down that aisle to an unsuspecting Chris and thought 'Is this worth all the anger?" He and Jada are Hollywood staples and each is used to being in the papers, on the internet and being the butt of jokes. This is part of the life they signed up for, good or bad. Jada has regularly put their relationship and family issues on Front Street in her Red Table Talks and the most recent was her talk about her entanglement relationship with her son Jaden's friend who he invited to live in their home.

Will's reaction makes me thing this outburst of violence went deeper than Chris Rock's joke. Something else. probably all the jokes on the entanglement, had to be triggering him and Chris' joke was just the straw that broke the camel's back. 

It was a very unfortunate evening that overshadowed everyone's wins and I'm glad to see that both men have made apologies however we teach our children to think before they emotionally react.  Will has been in this business long enough to know better. Whatever is going on with him I hope he gets the help he needs because last night, Oscar night he showed the world that he is hurting deep.

This week the crew recaps episode 11 of Married At First Sight with special guest Tracey Solomon-White

The couples celebrated one month anniversaries and at the couple dinner Olajuwon again showed his  disrespect and immaturity. Tracey gives another point of view and checks us on are we being bias when it comes to O?
