American Greed: Inside The Episode With Jenifer Lewis | CNBC Prime - Розваги
"I wasn't paying attention" this is what separates this woman and women like her from the pack - her accountability, honesty and authenticity. Love her!
@Kellie Hu -
"Accountability" is a moot issue. She is just a long line of women, notably Black women, with all the attitude, all the mouth, all the projection who just showed she, at her age, has a difficult time sniffing out bullsh*t, but is quick to try and school the younger women. Also, she showed that when an average man* is just himself, his words and presence typically just fades in the wind within the mind of women, because many of them are seeking that "Mr. McDreamy" that more times than not, do not exist, or they do exist, but their juice is not worth the squeeze.
And while she puts on all the pompous projections, she fails to realize men like what she dealt with don't care about the future, they only care about their objective(s) of the mark they have before them, because she is just a long line of other women who got played and are putting on their own song and dance in the attempt to sooth their sense of denial.
* Some of the most incredible men project an average presence. You just don't know who and what they are until you talk with them, or you are the recipient of their incredible nature.
@@thespadestable why are you judging Ms. Lewis?...you sound so bitter!
@@avonnehuggins2122 -
Well Ms. Lewis admitted she was Bobo the Fool post hindsight. Then as a means of saving face, she downplayed she only lost $50k. She got played, because he sold her the very dream Black elder women sold into the minds of the generation after them, and the generation after them.
Even the Old Testament said it was no problem to judge.
I love her too! Her accountability, acceptance, lesson learned and ability to move on is so refreshing. We’re often stereotyped as angry and/or bitter but clearly, that’s not the case here. I appreciate her caring enough to share.
@@thespadestable Excuse you, the lady said she made mistakes.🙄The clown that victimized her didn't. He's just a long line of males, notably black males, with all of the attitude, mouth, coddling, and entitlement, that thinks they don't have to answer for anything. News flash: he did, and THAT'S what you're so angry and bitter about. You can be as mad as you want to, but he got punished, and there's nothing that you can do about that. Facts.
She believed him and trusted him, end of story. She doesn't need to defend herself. She did nothing wrong, HE DID!
She wasn't looking for the bad. When you're not a scammer or deceiver, the thought never crosses your mind.
But she said she did do something wrong….she ignored the red flags. She didn’t do anything unethical, immoral or illegal…she only let herself down. She took accountability for failing herself. She owned her part…but again, her actions of being inactive wasn’t a testament of her character….what he did to her and many others was far far worse.
Never ever say it can't happen to you. I believe it can, because we're only human.
I 👍
I LOOOOOVE AUNTIE JENNY..
JENIFER LEWIS IS THE AUNTIEMAMA OF ALL AUNTIEMAMA'S FOR THE MELANATED\INDIGENOUS (BLACK) RACE..
WE ALLLLL ADMIRE, ADORE AND ABSOLUTELY LOVE OUR AUNTIEMAMA JENNY..
I L❤VE Y🤎U ENDLESSLY, AUNTIEMAMA 😘😘😘
“You fked with the wrong girl because all I got is time and money”
Another reason why to love this woman. Her authenticity is everything!!!!
Yes indeed yes indeed
Loved when she said that!!🤣🤣
An SHE MEANT THAT ISH 💯I FELT THAT IN MY SOUL 😝
loved her before I knew this story
@@sheritacotten5293 me too, I absolutely love her too. Her honesty and able to be humble about life is inspiring and very much appreciated. ✌️❤️🙏
He thought she would be too embarrassed to speak out. Good for her for speaking out.
She did a Kanye lol
I love her transparency, realness and heart. She is a beast at telling stories.
He messed with the wrong woman, so glad she received justice. I love her transparency.
I agree.
I love Jenifer Lewis upbeat personality. She gives such sage advice.
I've always admired and respected Jennifer Lewis. This interview solidies those feelings. I applaud her for reliving that horrible chapter by gracing us with her story. I also thank the interview for asking the right questions to give us deeper insight.
We're happy you enjoyed it Tomika!

@@stepstoknowinggod everybody dont want to gear that bull
Much, much respect for Ms. Lewis!!!! By NOT being too embarrassed to share her story will embolden others to follow suit and hopefully reduce this type of stuff.
We are as sick as our secrets .... powerful 💛
Idk how accurate the statement actually is. If someone did something to you and you never spoke about it, yet you continued on after learning to overcome, are you as sick as something you never spoke on at this point?
@@FacetiousUniqueness It's accurate for the people who don't get over those secrets and it just festers, I believe that's why she's stressing the fact that she's gotten a lot of therapy as well.
❤❤❤so powerful 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
@@samsunguser3438 It is true. The truth will set you free. You can’t heal what you don’t confront.
This was a beautiful interview for an absolutely beautiful woman. I’m so proud of her! She owned her part in this horror story and shared a lesson for every woman that deems herself a victim. Basically she informed us to stay “WOKE”. Trust your instincts, and trust your good friends.
but wasnt she a victim tho
This woman is PERFECT for showing Black men doing something wrong.
She’s a Zaddy loving bed wench.
This woman is a 2 faced nut bucket.
@@TheSmily4ever yes , she was . She definitely a victim of this mans crime . She just didnt let it define her and stay a victim, she took her power back and became victorious. 🙌🏾

I love this lady, because she proves that sometimes life and people can get you down, but it's up to you to get back up, and your fault if you don't .
Her resilience is admirable!
I'm crying watching this!
Jennifer Lewis is an AMAZING woman! Would love to meet "Aunt Jen" one day.
Thank you so much for her willingness to share this experience with all of us.
May God continue to bless and keep her.
I love Jennifer Lewis. She is so very talented. I love how funny she is in her roles and how humble she is in telling her own story.
I love that she didn't let it go. If she hadn't the other victims probably would be able to bring him to justice. We all get conned there is no need to be embarrassed.
Jennifer reminds me of my step-mom: tough, authentic and so wise!!!. My dad married her a year before my mom died (my parents were divorced several years prior) and she and my mom established one of the most admirable friendships.
I’m so glad she told this story. She’s a warrior, this happens more than you know. It happens to elderly men, recently widowed. It happened to my father in law. Thank you Jennifer for sounding out the alarm. It can happen to anyone.
There’s a UA-cam channel- Catfished. It’s absolutely shocking how many men steal from lonely older women. They use pictures they find online of men who are much younger than them. 99.9% of these conmen are from Africa. If you have older love ones looking for romance online, please share Catfished with them. It’s mostly women but sometimes it’s older men, also.
It has happened to a lot of athletes too
She’s a sweet soul. So sorry that happened to her but thankfully she had the courage to share her story and help warn others 🙏🏽❤️
He was so dumb to think Jen Was a fool. When just looking at Miss Lewis you can see she is no fool. GOD chose Miss Lewis as the vessel to take him down. Great Job Miss Jennifer Lewis 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽♥️♥️♥️♥️

Truth Indeed
I’m glad she’s being brave enough to speak out because there are a lot more celebrities that have been scammed but they don’t speak out due to embarrassment. But if they would make it known what happened to the
more these scammers would be exposed to the public and wouldn’t be able to keep getting over on people because they’d be outed.
It’s the accountability for me. She wrote about this in her latest book. Unlike the women from the Tinder Swindler, she is owning up to her role in allowing this man into her life. She is a Boss! ❤
This is Soo sad. So sorry this happened to our favorite Aunty!!! Soo proud of her for speaking out.
I absolutely love her especially her voice and her heart she’s one in a million.
This happens a lot. My mom plays the sleuth for her friends. Thankfully they come to her so they don’t get caught up.
I don’t feel we can blame ourselves for others bad behaviors. Monsters are just that and it’s true. “we are as sick as our secrets”. Blessings to Jennifer Lewis’ strength, honesty and overcoming. ❤
JENNIFER LEWIS IS TRULY THE MESSAGE THST SHE BRINGS...SHE PLAYED A PART UNKNOWINGLY IN AN EPISODE OF SOME MONSTER'S SCHEME TO DEFRAUD HER...BUT SHE HAD A "BEST FRIEND ANGEL" WHO WAS LOOKING OUT FOR HER....
THE TRUTH CAME OUT...SHE TOLD HER STORY & THE REST IS HISTORY...THANK YOU MS.JENNIFER LEWIS FOR BEING SO BRAVE & SHARING THIS WITH US...I APPLAUD YOU FOR A JOB WELL DONE...MY NAME IS DELORES LEWIS BEY...FROM THE STL ALSO!!!
@@deloreslewis1210
Yes, she admitted her part in this deception. Which is a good thing, she can learn and move on.
You can blame yourself for your part in it...if you can't even examine and admit to your actions or lack of discretion, where does change come from?
This woman here is such an inspiration in my life and am sure in other older black women lives. Yes, we all must keep our guards up in life and so grateful for your friend taking care of you and not letting it get worst than what it could have been.
She is iconic Hollywood know it or not. Well connected and respected, yet in her own lane.
She isn't only one Tinder Swindler on Netflix....I'm glad she's open about it some women won't say anything they're to embarrassed
As they say, “tell the truth and shame the devil.” Thank you for your honesty, transparency, vulnerability and courage. It could have happened to any of us. You’re right! We’ve all been betrayed or been taken advantage of in some way or another. But, it’s what we decide to do when things get rough. We can quit or get back up again, learn from what happened and keep moving forward by helping others. That’s what you’ve chosen to do. Again, thank you!
This woman is so admirable. Her willingness to ADMIT she did not pay attention is so key. That man is absolutely disgusting for what he did and it makes me wonder how many of us choose to just ignore the signs 😣
I heard someone else say, "People ignore red flags because they like red flags".
She showed accountability for her part in that story. That's where the healing and forgiveness begins.
You are so right.
Savagely funny, perfectly describes Jenifer Lewis's work! Funny, but never a clown. Witty, spunky, and always leave everything on every set or stage.
I met her at the Trayvon Martin march in Los Angeles a few years ago. I love her energy 🥰
I have seen her in many roles. She is cool. Bravo for your actions
Oh! Wooooow!!!! I love that she’s so honest because this is embarrassing!! I love her even more
Hard not to cry smiling, if you were to ever meet the wonderful Jennifer Lewis, because she reminds us of either mama, auntie or gran-gran.
This type of thing happens often. It's a blessing for her to highlight her experience to help others. ❤️
He wasn't all that good looking, and as soon as he said he graduated from Oxford, I would want to know why TF he was working at L.A. Fitness. Mother owns it and uses her missteps to empower herself and others.
Exactly. The other clip also said that he was a college professor and author 😂like how do you have that much free time
@@classicredwine Is it a stretch? Yes. But, is it impossible? No. A lot of my college professors were published authors. As a matter of fact, it’s very common because they turn around and make their books a part of their syllabus; and guess who has to buy them? Their students. They cash in big time. And, my physical education professor loves working out. You have to keep in mind that a lot of professors don’t teach everyday. Taking on clients at the gym as a passion or to subsidize their income isn’t a far stretch. However, a quick search on the schools alumni or faculty staff would have told her better.
@@shawnpreston1639 Very true. Not everyone works in the field of their education. They leave and find fulfilment in other arenas. I have a double Masters in Business/Adult Education and I do not teach under contract, but consult...less hours and more time to enjoy life.
@@shawnpreston1639 exactly!! couldnt have it said better
I would somewhat agree with the comment that this should have been a red flag. But Geoffrey Owens, who played Elvin on The Cosby Show, attended Yale (I can’t recall if he graduated). He was a professional actor on a well-known show to end up working at Whole Foods or something (he was bagging groceries). So to think this man worked at the gym isn’t impossible.
Unfortunately, this man was a crook and needed to be stopped.
Good for Jenifer!!! Glad you told your story. Hopefully, this will help other women.
People get conned everyday.
It’s critical to listen to your instincts, use LOGIC, and never allow the whimsical ideas of infatuation cloud your judgment.
Ever.
I love that she is willing to share her story. I have found the best way to heal from being this type of target is to heal yourself from all of your childhood traumas and to truly find self love. Specifically, people who have been let down, unprotected, abused (emotionally, physically, sexually) and neglected throughout childhood and on throughout adolescents etc...are often the targets of this type of toxicity. As well as when you acquire massive success outside of the norm for the people you grew up with/family. The primary reason is because we want to believe our Knight in shining Armour or fairytale has finally arrived or our Savior! But only YOU can be your Savior and Healer from the pain you have endured. It's great that she's back in therapy as a result.
I simply enjoyed Jennifer’s story embodied with grace, transparency, education, wisdom, vigilance, and Truth. No victimville resident here🎉 🎉 🎉
I love her honesty and ownership. I have to remember: they won’t treat you like you treat you💯 read that again…
I think this will help so many people from fake people just out to con you out your hard earn money. We have to really be careful who we let in our lives and if you have money to do a background check before getting into a relationship. We live in a time where people will try to take you for your money. Thank You to Queen Jenifer for telling this story.
If you didn't love Jenifer Lewis before, you have to love her after watching this interview. An American treasure, honey!
Love her honesty she's always been a natural funny lady best wishes 🌸🌸🌸
Pay attention... Best advice ever! 🥰
Love me some Jeni. Her book is amazing too. She is the definition of healing consistently with mental health 💜
I'm still surprised that a wealthy, well-known lady like her wouldn't be even a little bit suspicious about this "person", and would have had him INVESTIGATED after the first date. Jennifer must have been in an emotionally needy place to have fallen for his lies. God bless her, and I thank her for her honesty and unselfishness in putting this experience out there to help other vulnerable ladies.👍👍👏👏🙏🙏😍😍
Good for you girl. You made it through. Lesson learned, to protect your heart ❤️.
Love you Jennifer.
I love Jenifer, but had never heard this story. I appreciate her honesty and she said some key things that helped me to understand my failed marriage. I am healing because like Ms. Lewis stated, " I am doing the things now that make me happy to balance being betrayed" and "I wasn't paying attention." He may have "trumped" me, but I drank the kool-aid and believed the lies without question. Thanks for sharing her story, truly empowering.
My mother was scammed out of $1 million dollars!! She sold her car, properties, taken out new mortgages and borrowed money just to satisfy this bums thirst...I am a law enforcement officer and she wouldn't listen to me. She was a trustee in the church and was embarrassed to tell anyone. I threatened to get him taken down by the FBI and mom finally stopped giving up everything that she worked for. UNREAL!!!
I totally respect Ms. Jennifer for coming out with her honesty and warning folks in the future what to watch out for. Thank you 😊
Black women are resilient. God made us in His image and likeness. We can overcome many things and come back stronger/better than before trials/tribulations through God and faith in Him.
I appreciate her sharing her story. This happens to others and they say nothing because they’re embarrassed but he “had the wrong girl”.
Love this woman. I just realized how much I have in common with her. I feel much better watching this! Love you #JeniferLewis! 😘✊🏾
This is gold. When we take accountability for our part, it frees us. Allows healing and the ability to move foward versus remaining in victim mode. Much respect JL!
Love her! The honesty and the lessons you can learn from her before going through the same issues, know no bounds
She's strong beautiful talented dignified honest humble giving soul
I met Jennifer at a very trying time in my Life in 2009. She & I sat & ate vegan wraps together for several hours in Studio City. She's raw...she's real. She has a good heart & simply 'trusted' a person cleverly disguised as genuine. My situation 'then' mirrors the very situation she later went thru with Tony Mariot aka Bryce Carrington.
Thank you Jennifer for researching this clown. I did the same thing with the so called 'Spiritual leader'/sociopath I thought l knew. Great job!!!! Love & very proud of you Jennifer.🧘🏾♀️🙏🏽
I truly love Jennifer Lewis! She speaks and lives in her truth! She is a great example of a phenomenal woman! Glad she told her story. It’s going to help a lot women who have experienced what she went through! ❤️🙏🏽
We've all been betrayed , true words
I'm so glad she said listen to your intuition and pay attention. I've always said when someone is conned or taken advantage of what is blocking the intuition that they can't hear that little voice. Something told me, Something said, I had this feeling etc
Good for you Jennifer. Well done 👍
This lady told me she met a black guy they got married and he wiped her entire life savings out the bank. And that he disappeared as fast as he came. The name he gave was even fake. He was a professional con artist. They are out and around and are real. They got professional women out there as well.
❤she’s amazing … I could listen to her speak all day. ❤
So many women n men have experienced this while they was living their best life, they never expected it, because everything was positive in their life before. When you see positive in every situation, you Dnt see the negative clearly. I’m glad she realized it n it showed her to be cautious. Seeing the negative too in situations can save you. Balanced is key to everything in life. Too much of anything equals a unbalanced outcome.
I love her realness. A real woman, and I love how she speaks as you can tell she has done her therapeutic work!
Nope you can't hear it? She's mad as she ever was. That's vengeance you're hearing.
El Chatfield… wrong!
@@january5132 agree to disagree
They have yet to give her the just dues she deserves ... dynamic actress, intelligence, resilient, authentic, transparent and a true black icon of our time ... but so underrated. She's too strong for them!💪🏾
Jennifer is so talented. She was very funny as Jackie in the movie Jackie's Back. She deserves to be the lead in more projects. I admire her courage in coming forward and telling this story.
“The Mother of Black Hollywood” is in the hizzouse. Love her. 🎼🎥🖤👑
So very proud of her we all vulnerable as human beings and it's relatable because we all have had a bad apple and it's so glorious to be able to say( I got you) to many aren't so fortunate he messed with the wrong one and that's what these creeps need the wrong one
I absolutely admire her strength and courage. I have always loved her in movies, and loved to listen to her talk. Hearing her tell her story, I have a different view of her. As a woman she is strong, beautiful and she encourages me to want to speak out about my experiences I've had in my life. Profound, God bless her!!
Thank you for sharing your story so openly and honestly. What an important public service.
Give us more. Jennifer Lewis
Jennifer you’re awesome to tell your story and know we are so proud of you❤️❤️❤️✌🏽👍🏽✊🏽🙏🏽
I love her,she is such an amazing actress.
I love Jennifer Lewis as well. She's a real powerhouse entertaining person.
I’m so happy for her. She cracks me up on Blackish!
Is that what you got out of this whole thing 🤔
I love me some Auntie Jenifer Lewis 🥰 dude met his match with this one! 👊🏾
I love and tremendously admire Jenifer for so many reasons, her courage, fearless honesty, strength, grace, boldness, and out of all that she has triumphed over in her life, she is one of the funniest people I’ve ever seen.
You are so beautiful Jenifer and such an incredible inspiration to everyone.
Thank you again for sharing your experience and American Greed for bringing more light to this con.
He's probably in prison working his "magic" on one of the female prison guards. Sadly, men like this never seem to be without a woman.
Sadly sounds like it's all he knows..
I absolutely ADORE this gift of life🙌🏾 Jenifer Lewis is truly a blessing in my life. Can’t wait to meet her.
👍💝Brava! She has inspired me. I am so glad she decided to speak out. I hope this gives me and other people the inspiration and strength to also speak out. There are lots of Antonios (male & female) out there to beware of & be aware of. Thank you for speaking out Jennifer. 🙏💝
This interview left much to be desired. Wish there were more details about what exactly happened.
She was giving snippets you have to watch the episode on American Greed
I am seven minutes into it and I am still waiting for the meat & potatoes, you just saved me some time, now I will just google his name.... 👍
Good for her for being so real.
I love the way she takes accountability and let his reputation bash him worse. This is a good transformation for people to see. She has so many gifts. God always has a plan. Her courage is a testimony.
God bless you ms Jennifer. Pamela in Detroit
Her voice is amazing
There was a Judge in Los Angeles who came across her prince in shining armour. Turns out he was married and totally deceived her. Sent her over the edge. In the court room she was crawling under the bench and they had to take her out. I wonder if it was the same guy. A beautiful young judge destroyed by a con artist.
She is the best 👑💐
So many people searching for love needs to hear this story. Thank you
I like her straightforwardness and frankness...much respect to Ms. Jennifer Lewis. Everyday, once we start the day; it's game on...the game of Life and we must treat it as such, thank you for sharing! Like you, I believe in telling (sharing) it...ALL! Especially, when it's a lesson to be learned.
Jenifer, if you're reading this, I'm so very proud of you. Thank you for sharing your life and story with us over the years
A LEGEND!!!
I appreciate her so much for sharing this 😢
Thank you for being so open and transparent, Jenifer you are Loved!
Wish he had gotten more than 8 years…
Give thanks for my new mantra... Today is a beautiful day and I'm going to be beautiful in it. Life is Beautiful and I'm going to be Beautiful in it💜🌹🙏
I knew there was something special about this woman the first time I saw her on screen! She’s right- she really loves and cares about people. To bear your soul and vulnerabilities for the mental health of others- especially those beautiful children- her heart is golden! She is human but she will always be Queen Jennifer Lewis in my book! All hail the QUEEN! 👑
Thank you Ms. Lewis for your beautiful light and love.
Jennifer Lewis gives St.Louis realness every time ❤️🥰 love her ❤️
