On Why She’s Coming Out Now

Once I was incarcerated the plan and the agreement was always that she would always represent us if we ever got into any trouble and that’s what I expected. I expected her to represent me. I expected her to look after me. I expected her to look out for my children if something was to happen. I expected her to do everything that she said she was going to do because I did everything that I said I was going to do. I never told and I ended up getting five years in the State.

I’m struggling. Like I said Before my mother died, my grandmother died while I was in prison. I had my baby handcuffed to a bed. My babies father, he got life. So of course there is no child support. Nobody will give me a job. Not only am I a convicted felon I’m a single mother. I couldn’t get any housing assistance because I was a convicted felon. I couldn’t get any Section 8 because I was a convicted felon. I even went to the nightclub to dance to support my children. I got hired at the nightclub but when I went to go get my permit they told me that I couldn’t get my permit because I was a convicted felon. But I never gave up. I kept pressing. When I saw the first episode of Housewives of Atlanta, I was shocked when I saw that she married Apollo. Not only was I shocked that she married Apollo I was extra shocked when I saw Everett on the show featured several times. When I found out that Everett worked as a paralegal in her law firm while he was still in a halfway house.

On why she’s hurt

It hurt me when I looked and I saw the episode when the young lady from Destiny’s Child came strolling in her office and was crying saying I’ve been to jail and I just want to get my life together and Phaedra actually had the audacity to cry and then touch her and tell her that she had the golden touch and was gonna help her get her life together. It hurt me when I watched the show and I saw Phaedra giving birth to her baby on the show and I knew that I was handcuffed to a bed when I had my baby and they took my baby from me 24 hours later. It hurt me when I thought about Phaedra who was somebody who was my friend, when I learned that she went and she stood over my mother’s body and she knew that they were framing me. She knew that she had no intention to help me get of the situation that she had created. Somebody had to be the fall guy for the entire operation and it just happened to be me. So my book is not about vengeance, it’s about justice.”
