They got red flags, red marriage, red life, red health, red stop sign, red tomatoes, red lights, just RED everywhere! 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Unpopular opinion but this is NOT a love story. Cookie had low self-esteem. Magic took advantage of that by coming in and out of her life, embarrassing her in front of the world and finally settling down when he got sick.
N!gga sh!t 🙄🥴🤷🏾♀️💯👌🏾‼️😂😂😂 that want us LITERALLY to be riding and Potentially fkn DYING for them and until they get old and fkn outta shape or catch a case or PACKAGE, then want and expect us to be there for them on the frontline 😳🥴🙅🏽♀️👎🏾😭😭 fawkkkk that😂😂
Magic sounds like one of those “I don’t want you but I don’t want anyone else to have you either” kinda guy.
This is NOT a love story. This is a HORROR story. If you think that Cookie won because she "got the bag," you desperately need to raise your standards, boundaries, and expectations for relationships. No one with sense envies these busted, crusty, and dusty "situationships." ANY woman with self-esteem pities Cookie and women like her. This is FAR from winning.🤨
I gotta agree sis! Been would have walked away from that! But that million tho 🤔 got my head scratching on that one 🤷 IDK I might but DEFINITELY not winning! 😂😂
That’s the reason you all will never marry the man of dreams because the man of your dreams is a “SIMP”
He needed her so bad once he got sick, but all the while he was sleeping around with no regard to their relationship. Kept calling off the wedding. She should not have been sleeping with him unprotected at any point. I would have left and never came back. No man or HIS money is worth the stress and heartbreak.
He was still out there AFTER the diagnosis. Please read her book.
The fact that she said she would NOT be humiliated again makes me feel like if she was HIV positive she would take it to her grave.
The chances of her being negative is extremely low, unfortunately! And I always believed that if she was positive she would never say, like you said. Most likely advised not to say anything because he was already under enough scrutiny.
Even though it's none of my business but cookie still being with him after she finds out he's hiv positive and still be with him decades ago made me think if she still have sex with him but with protected sex and if she ever catch the virus from him because even if they have children others would of left when they find out they partner have the disease
The way it starts is the way it is. When people show you who they are, believe them!
I think the way it starts is usually the best it is going to get. People have their masks on...the fact that he was dirty from the start is a huge red flag! smh
He does not deserve this woman. He treated her horribly.
No one can treat anyone horribly, unless they allow it. He knew he could do this to her, bc she kept taking him back.
Cookie needs more boundaries. The desperation and lack of self-worth is astounding!
He treated her like 💩 she stayed. He had the unthinkable HIV she stayed. Dude you not even CUUUUUUTE. I could never. I would never.
Money & status outweighs "cute" everytime tho... apparently it rates high over true love as well.
@@coldfact.Facts. Y'all (women) make the rules on that one tho not us (men).
@Triniboi05 Yes men make those rules . Just like men claim to make the rules for all relationships, marriages and everything else.
According to men, they ( as in you dudes) control everything.
@popjele I wouldn't give no fuc ....cheating is one thing, but the CONSTANT embarrassment AND hiv I'm OUT 😌
"Bye Ashy!" will never not be funny. I laugh every time.
Portia was never that housewife that dropped memorable lines...but this is one of my favorite housewives qoutes. Yes, Miss Underground Railroad did that
This narrator is on it ! I love her she is more exciting than the actual.vidro! I LOVE HER!
Yet these are the SAME women that will flaunt their janky marriages in the faces of happily single women whose lives are immersed in SELF-RESPECT, JOY, AND PEACE! 🤣
Ooooh yes baby and be like “ he couldn’t live without me” he will never leave me alone- competing with other women and all!
This isn't even struggle love. It's just struggle. I had no idea all this nonsense happened. But, people like this will turn up again and again as soon as you move on. I'm sure it's even worse now with social media. There were so many red flags before, but without a doubt after he did all that to get her back then called off the wedding the first time, it should've been a wrap. He truly is for the streets.
Cookies name is Pickmesha. She was literally dying to get picked. I’m glad there has been advancements in treatment. She still has the dirtiest of dawgs as a husband.
Lord forgive me but I think he knew he had HIV before he married her. after playing cat & mouse w/ her for years its a little too convenient that he found out he had HIV a mere 2 months into the marriage 👀🤔
He definitely did know lol. He needed her and took advantage of her stupidity and low self esteem. And she didn't question it cuz at the end of it all she wanted that bag. Like come on now...he knew!
Sounds more of a business arrangement than a marriage. He tainted her for life. Wish them the best.
Which most of these relationships are nowadays anyway, esp in the industry.
Nah wait a damn minute, so basically he only married her after he was already aware that he contracted hiv??? Cookie, girl . 🤦🏾♀️
No. They were already married. He only sat his ass down once he discovered he had it.
@@aloveaffairwithself i thought in the video rrg said after is when he asked her.. let me rewatch, another view wont hurt our girl 🥰
Why didn't Cookie "CHANGE HER PHONE NUMBER!" Cookie wanted that money... THAT'S WHY!!! 😂😂😂
Cookie is the true definition of a Ride or Die Chick. Ain't no way.
No she's the definition of the song by The O'Jays For the Love of Money.
She most likely don't give dog shit about him let alone what he does/ did...she is in it for the $$$$
He's a meal ticket. She's had a luxurious life style and hasn't had to worry about finances. Some women that's all they care about.
@@GarwinWayne I disagree…there’s obviously a lot more other things in play than just money.
Magic kept returning to Cookie because he knew she'd take him back. What's love got to do with it?
I think he's playing a role. If he hadn't contracted HIV I think he woulda continued to step out on her taking the ring back & forth...she let him get away with it. 🚩
Of course he would have done just that because she allowed it.
He tested her the first time she saw he was with another woman in his room and the woman only had on a towel and she believe him when he said that was a friend. After that he kept pushing it to see how much she would take.
People can only do to you what you allow them to do.
And there are the women who do the same thing for men who are thousand-aires. Hundred-aires and plain ole guys who "drop you off at work, in YOUR car.
All those spirits from sleeping around led to issues with their kids especially the son. That boy needs deliverance.
I felt his zesty behind was too big and too tall to be walking around in high heels and all that foolishness. You have guys wanna be girls and girls wanna be guys and society wants to continue to normalize this. This is not normal. This is weird asl.
If this is what people deem a healthy relationships I rather be single. Give me my lifetime supply of cat litter, catnip, fuzzy pink slippers and curlers. 😅
That "oh hell nawwww" takes me out everytime
Having a husband sounds more and more embarrassing by the day😬
Lord; PLEASE FORGIVE HER; for she DOES NOT KNOW that which she is saying....🤔🙏🏽
TEA TAY YOU TALKING ABOUT THOSE RICH RICH MUSIC 🎶 AND SPORTS MENS NOT US WOMEN'S WHO WAS RAISED RIGHT BY BIG MAMA WHO TAUGHT US ABOUT LIFE LESSONS FROM THE WAY THEY GOT MARRIED FOR LOVE ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ AND WE STAY FOR LIFE WITH THE SAME ONE PERSON DOWN HOME 🏡 WOMEN'S 👀 WE DON'T SEE MONEY BAGS AS LOVE WE LOOK FOR HIS ❤AND SOUL😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Dude knew he was positive before he finally married that woman! He decided to settle because he knew she wasnt going anywhere. Smh.....and I suspect EJ inherited his "flambouyance" from his dad who was prob on the down low 😅😅
I as thinking the same thing.....he looked suspect in those wedding photos to me!
Usually long-lasting marriages are HOT stankin messes
Long lasting relationships too, because some are so toxic they never get to marriage- just shacking up for the longest time instead.
Right, tell the truth. People act like its always roses and chocolates.
“Now you a smart cookie. See what I did there?” Had me rolling 👏👏
I have heart palpitations from all these red flags. Cookie Johnson clearly is the original pick me.
This is one of the saddest “love” stories I’ve ever heard. Great commentary.
I remember .. I was a freshman in high school when Magic Johnson announced his retirement and his HIV positive status
I think that back in 1991, we were all pretty certain that HIV meant aids meant death
Here we are 2023
In 1991, it was mostly a death sentence, but in 2023, it is nolonger a death sentence, people infected with HIV live normal lives till old age.
Apparently, it wasn't a death sentence then....for people with MONEY
@@sandrajackson5163 I said "MOSTLY", it was, for the majority, for the millions of people who developed AIDs and died, it was.
@@sbusisiweshaba1715 and I said not for people with money back then, like Majic.
@@sandrajackson5163 Okay, we are talking about two different things. My point is pertaining to the majority of victims, not the few privileged individuals.
I was just about to binge on some RRG re runs then this popped up! Thank you Bestie! Love you and this channel ❤️
This is sad.. We as women have to do better. No way she should of went through all of that for him
@yuNGDeLaPhoNtE He’s not a billionaire. Rihanna is a billionaire, some retired basketball player is hardly that.
Broke men get women to accept whatever - it’s just how society works.
@@AmberColeman-gq1wnyou must live under a rock,lol Magic Johnson is forsure a billionaire. He’s not those broke dudes you used too
As owner of various franchises it's still residual income, outside of the NBA. Should he not be billionaire enough, he still the meal ticket:
2024 owns TGI Fridays restaurants, 24 hour fitness gyms, A smoothie king franchise, The NBA assist records, Burger King Franchises, A food contract service, A prepaid Mastercard called the magic card, and a Nascar Team. Co- Owns a baseball team called the Los Angeles dodgers, and sold shares of Starbucks for 100 million bucks.
It was magic for him to have steak house money as a college student…
(New Adlibs + Karaoke!) 😍 😆
Thanks RRG! & keep plugging those snacksssss
He hates her but she hates herself more. This isnt "ups and downs" it wasnt meant to be because aint no way but they forced it, sad.
I remember when he announced his hiv diagnosis...my mom and I was in the car and heard it on the radio. She was shocked and explained it the best the best I could understand since I was only 9... one thing I'm done with is games... love my freedom and my toy 🙏🏾
I remember when I heard vividly, as well. I was in the airport and it was all over television. People were devastated and is disbelief. I was also in the airport when I heard Michael Jackson died.
“Every time Cookie would dump Magic for cheating, the phone would ring …” Cookie shoulda stopped answering that phone!
“Well you’re a smart cookie.” 🤣🤣🤣
9:11
At this point, I'm not even sure that it has anything to do with the "Love" they had for each other. I could be wrong though 🤷🏽♀️
But at this point, it might've been all about "Locking down a Laker".
One of my auntie's and her girlfriends used to be on the scene in Los Angeles back in the day. And I recall them recanting their Rick James and Los Angeles Lakers stories. It seems to me, if you could get yourself a Laker...you were basically TREATED like Los Angeles royalty in those days 🤷🏽♀️
I'm sure its still like that... And perhaps cookie had that same mindset back then.
Me too ! People are acting oblivious in these comments. Someone that allegedly works with or for them said in these comments “they seem to be happily in love.” Another person said “the fact that they lasted this long is commendable.” 🥲
@@polynarcs LoL! Right... And hey, like I said... We could be wrong because we don't know cookies heart.
But I tend to think it had much to do with landing a "Baller"... Which, was HUGE back then. Not as huge today (because things have changed)... But back then, it was a woman's DREAM to land a baller and if you were in Los Angeles, it was the goal to land a Laker.
I can’t imagine my husband calling off a wedding on me, dumping me for other women several times, getting HIV while married to me, having a baby outside of our relationship, with my sisters best friend, and then not letting me plan my wedding when he finally did ask to marry me, then taking the ring back, and me being happily in love 😂. She’s a strong woman, I’m sure the money doesn’t hurt either. I’m sure he’s happy, he found the right one to accept all this mess… Nobody is perfect though, I’ve been st*pid in love myself…🫠 He seems like an avoidant dismissive and she seems to fall more under anxious attachment style, and seemingly enjoys her lifestyle…
When I get my money up, I'm going to get something from the concession stand in 2024! 😅
For real!
Cookie is an attractive woman. Why she would put up with the likes of Magic is beyond me. No way he would treat me like that and expect me to still be around. It's not that much love in the world, especially towards someone like him.
Attractive and Educated just proves book smarts, which doesn't mean you have common sense.
Cookie seems like a pick me and Magic is a narcissist who played the push pull method with her to keep her emotionally tied to him.....and we'll it worked
Red Flags are warning ⚠️ sighns that you may need to pay closer attentions. Sometimes they are not coming from a rational place other times there are huge 🚨 ,bells, smoke signal ,red light and all telling you to GTFO! 😅😅😅
I know for a fact you have done this hot stanking mess of a couple before. I'm not sure if you're aware of that. I know this because I watched the video after getting out of a hot-stanking-mess, toxic relationship, I saw all the red flags I missed and knew right there and then that I made the best decision. Been single for 2 years now but I'm ready for love now💕
Ok I thought I was tripping less they did a red flag vid is that a separate thing from the hot stankin mess vids
At the beginning of the video, RRG stated that this is a remix of their previous video of Magic and Cookie ❤️
This is a remix. It's stated at the beginning of the video. I'm only seeing this now
This is actually the worse settling story of all time. There’s nothing loving about this. Constant games, cheating AND a disease is CRAZY. Chileeee!
I'm soooo glad I'm not this type of woman!!
Magic had to have bought that CURE cause there’s not a thing on this earth that would make me stay with a man that got that monster 👹 lmaooo either he’s cured or that life insurance policy is irrevocable 🤭
Thank you for doing your research and adding all this info I never knew about the couple. I wish so much more for Cookie
Yiiiiiiikes! They BOTH sound crazy!!!! After the first “I can’t do this,” I would’ve never spoken to him again, let alone a second time! She gave him waaaay too many changes. Smh.
Baby Cookie wasn't about to let that bag go smh
Sounds like she stayed to save her face.
Okay i can officially chime in on this. I have worked as a designer for their bhills home and they are soooooo in love and obsessed with family. Their kids are surprisingly so humble and kind
@@peepzsnap7356 EJ is so down to earth as well despite some times wearing over the top fashions 🙂
I can’t imagine my husband calling off a wedding on me, dumping me for other women several times, getting HIV while married to me, having a baby outside of our relationship, with my sisters best friend, and then not letting me plan my wedding when he finally did ask to marry me, then taking the ring back, and me being happily in love 😂. She’s a strong woman, I’m sure the money doesn’t hurt either. I’m sure he’s happy, he found the right one to accept all this mess… Nobody is perfect though, I’ve been st*pid in love myself…🫠 He seems like an avoidant dismissive and she seems to fall more under anxious attachment style, IMHO
What's the point of basing in love NOW? This man used and played a woman who had low self esteem and was desperate for love. When he was on top of the world HE TREATED HER WORSE THAN DIRT. He only FAKED respect and love after getting sick and having the WORLD turn their back on him. You notice when he went back to play their marriage problems started all over again.
She had EJ in 92, a year AFTER he supposedly "found out"... but her or the baby didn't have it. They playing in our faces. 🙄
#MAKEITMAKESENSE
I mean I’m surprised she or baby didn’t get it as well….however some people are extremely lucky and stay negative
It is possible for the kids to not have it. My aunt, rest her soul, had it. She birthed 2 boys, and neither of them have it. They get tested every year, and are now 23 & 21, still negative!
I’m not surprised that they are still together because Magic came from a two-parent household. I attended MSU while he was a student. He was EJ the DJ at the Bus Stop. Magic was a nice guy who would greet everyone. The Lakers would visit campus in an attempt to woo Magic to LA. We had so much fun. I didn’t know him or Cookie personally but he could have had any girl but he chose her. I wish he and his wife the best.
@ghubbard7499 So basically then , magic watched his father cheat constantly and mistreat his mother.
Two parent household does not automatically mean “good” parents of sound morals are raising children together. It was obviously a dysfunctional home since magic grew up to be a very dysfunctional man…
Ma’am. Who are you?!?! Your videos crack me up so much. You need to reveal your identity!! 😂
I am LOVING the remix-ing of older videos you're doing! I love all the ad-libs, but my fave by far is "THIS ninja!" LOL
Sounds more like a nightmare than anything else. She’s got low self-esteem or wanted the money. Or both.
Girl I love watching you with your karaoke and commentary remarks😂😂😂
RRG has the best tea ever😊
wow......he really just kept her as a fall back til he was all used up. exactly how i REFUSE to end up.
Omg I enjoy your Channel so so much. You're so entertaining. Your back tracks 👣 are everything. Thank you.😊
Here we gooooo!!!! Buckle up!!😂😂😂
"Flamboyant lifestyle" 👀🤔
YOU ARE SOOOOOOOOOOO SO FUNNY ITS JUST REFRESHING TO HEAR A BIT OF HUMOR LOL LIFE IS STRESSFUL AS IT IS SO ITS NICE 2 TUNE IN HEAR GOSSIP AND HAVE A LAUGH WITH IT ALL. PEACE AND LOVE EVERYONE. GREAT STUFF SIS
"Struggle love" 😂 🚫 I don't want it!!!!
Seems like magic only had cookie around for convenience and only married her once he got his diagnosis because nobody else would want him
Word on the OLDDDDD Streets. Magic has a daughter HE NEVER CLAIMED! She's from Michigan.
Hey RRG! Ok, so I was in the middle of a scam baiting video (they are hilarious)! Put it on pause for you 😀. Happy weekend!
As a long term survivor of hiv disease( 1 time without a condom girl), I see Magic as my goal. I pray God keep a those with hiv alive, well and safe.
I don't know much about his wife,nor his family. But, I'm kinda wondering why now?
I’m sorry, I am glad you are alive and well! You too can be an inspiration to others, and I’m sure you are already and inspiration to those that know your story! Stay strong. ❤🙏🏾
Why now what?
God and the universe gave this woman COUNTLESS chances to read the obvious signs and leave this trifling man alone! But she did not listen and ended up risking her health SMH! It pays to pay attention
Cookie and Magic always look like siblings to me. 🙂
JESUS just Cookie's time with Magic before they even got married was a NIGHTMARE 😫
These people have been together forever lol
Girl you have me laughing… this Nija‼️‼️Don’t stop your comedy I love it👍🏼
Your commentary was THEE BEST 😂😂😂. Thanks for the laughs.
I’ve been waiting for this remake!!! 😂😂😂 Come through RRG!!!
Just discovered you. You have a funny unique way of telling stories, love it.
These commentaries be having me rolling!😂😂😂😂
I wonder if the tables were reversed would he have stayed with her?! What y'all think?
🗣️ I'LL TAKE HELL TO THE NO FOR $1,000 ALEX!
Nope absolutely not! I feel like 1% of men would vs double digits maybe for ladies. Disheartening really 😢 however my deal breakers with my husband cheat and bring home child or give me HIV or other stds that’s it for me. Our 20yrs would be over…there’s only so much one can take
HELL NAW! To the naw naw naw!
Not at all
Nah, not at all.
