I really like her . We’re so hard on each other ...time to change things . Especially with black women . We’re so disrespected and deserve so much more .
Tryharder 1234; you are so correct, we are truly disrespected. Yes we deserve more but it has to start with each one of us. Black women tear each other down on so many levels; I stopped watching reality TV for that same reason. Hearing the whores and Bitches used like it's a blessing is so appalling. Truly I cannot learn nothing from that so why give it my time. I will walk into a store and compliment a black woman and she doesn't even know how to receive it. smh. Pulling out each other weaves, fight over men and sound ignorant is how they want to portray us. I applaud Dutches, she is truly a black woman of class.
I felt Dutchess pain thru this interview. As progressive women we have to support each other, not disrespect one another. We get enough of that from everyone else. Dutchess do your thing. Elevate and never look back.💞
She deserves no more respect than she showed her co-stars. For the record she's not a "woman" she's female. She's appears to be a trick looking for a come up!
Dutchess is cool and I get what she saying about being from somewhere not as fast paced like North Carolina.I am from North Carolina and had to deal with moving to Chicago which was soooo different. However Dutchess has to own up to a lot of things she has done as well! The crew and people didnt make you do everything you did on the show!
Dutchess is crazy and she may do a lot of things but she is a terrific tattoo artist you have to give her credit you can't take that away from her the girl is talented when it comes to tattoos
Crazy? She just stated she comes from a healthy two parent home, a college graduate, not into dysfunction, she stands up for herself, a business woman, doesn't want to be in a destructive environment for a paycheck, has morals. The other cast members have serious major dysfunction, drug, alcohol and destructive behavior. Experiencing pain and being emotional isn't craziness. That's part of the reason for her pain, is being falsely labeled as crazy. She deeper and more than just a tattoo artist, She has character.
I didn’t like her because of the show but much respect for being a business woman. From one business woman to another. We have to inspire little black girls to want to be great
I don't care how ppl feel about Dutchess from Black Ink.. I love her. I feel her on a spiritual and emotional level. What's awesome is she is college educated and goal oriented. What's sad is at one point she lowered her standards for a man who didn't respect her level of beauty and brains. She's now at a place where she had to climb from a valley up the mountain and is conquering it. To me, Dutchess have always been GREATER than the dysfunction of Black Ink. Would she have the success that she have today if it wasn't for them? Maybe not. But there's nothing wrong with her using that platform VH1 gave her to be where she is today. Keep going Dutchess! No matter what folks have to say!
Dutchess comes off as if she's better than everyone else because of her background. Girl, even the most well rounded kids can can be destructive, and a child from broken home can be become well rounded and successful. Its about the choices you make. Dutchess is no Angel. However I do agree with her deciding to leave a toxic environment. Just own up to your participation in the tomfoolery. I wish her much success.
Carmela Palmer know your background gives you a head start. A two parent home is better then one. I think we look at it ad shade because most black people come from one parent home.
Because she's appreciative of coming from a two parent home , you assume she think shes better than everyone. Wow the hate this woman gets disgust me. Im sure if she carried her self like Josline Hernandez she would be praised.
I like and don’t like Duchess.What I do like is she’s smart and strong.What I don’t like is she seems to put others down to build herself up and she seems to want to hang on to a victim mentality.Duchess needs to grow beyond that story and really live and act as if her life is as blessed as she says it is.Because from personal experience I know once you are over something and really free you don’t still want to talk about the old issues and you don’t feel the need to keep explaining yourself.You really feel no need to do that.I think she still wants and loves Ceasar but she doesn’t want to go back to his lifestyle or the people that surround him.Shes gonna have to come to terms with this situation and put it away.
Right, I just said that. So I'm happy someone else saw that in her. She did not have to say something about a two parent home. She is blessed to have had that in her life.
SanMarie K A two parent household is great but it doesn’t guarantee that you are free of some emotional scars that life can give you.Because she seems to suffer from some sort of self esteem issues.
I have an completely different view than most of the people in the comments but I have seen how vicious she can be first hand on the show. Producers didnt make her lie to people...they didnt make her talk about peoples miscarriages...or downgrading other black people on the show because they didnt have the same resources as her to get an education or have an two parent home. She used the blessing God gave her as weapons to down other black people on the show. I don't think anyone should be calling her name or threatening her but she need to take ownership that she was no angel and her action were the problem. Producers gave her the gun but she was the one who shot it of her free will. I hope that she really change but someone as toxic as she was I don't believe she has but I pray for the best for her.
Talesha Capler so true . She needs to humble herself . It’s good that she was raised in a two-parent home . It’s good that she had the opportunity to go to school. But, the others on the show didn’t have that luxury and it doesn’t make her better than them. She is a manipulator , a sly fox ... the way she speaks so calmly and confidently you would believe her .. 🙄🙄🙄
I wouldn't wish depression or threats on anyone BUT Dutchess' hands weren't clean either. She manipulated, instigated & told lies numerous times on the show. Then involving herself in the situation with Skyy & her son (Genesis) was really f'd up of her! You can't hit ppl & get upset/scared when they hit you back. I like her but I see NO victim here.
I love the way she speaks of her parents marriage beautiful. But on the show you would never now she came from a two parent home or be a college graduate. So maybe she adapted to her environment
Zamir Montrell facts. She does what she does on the reality show bcz it looks good for what the show is looking for. This talk show is probably an outlet. Especially since her husband is shitting on her
That's terrible they harass dutchess like that if she already left the show they should leave the girl alone thank god she didn't commit suicide I'm glad she was able to see that life is more valuable and precious than death amen to life
Dutchess is full of 💩 because why she was so say thinking about suicide, she was also trying to take half of everything Ceaser own & setting up interviews in her shop just for Sky son to talk bad about his mother as if she care about that child. When we know she only did that shit to get back at Sky for whatever reason, but wanna act as if she didn’t do anything for them to keep bringing her name back up. She does this to herself with her evil ways
True indeed Kelly Joseph! True indeed!! Very happy to see anyone who is successful in their journey to becoming a better version of themselves. But TRUTH about self...ones own role in who they were/are throughout every leg of that journey is Key. Dutchess sat on that sofa and spoke more than a few untruths about her role in all that transpired during and immediately following her tenure on Black Ink Crew. From her initiating physical altercations with other Black Women on the show, to sexing multiple men from the shop- to engaging on oral sex with a woman on the show then lying about it, and her obsessive incessant toxic tweets/IG for a full year after she departed the show. Now that she has chosen to live the life that her parents raised her to live- she wants to publicly belittle, and malign, those on the show whose behavior mirrored her own bad behavior? Nope- not cool at all! How many out of wedlock pregnancies did she have while with Ceaser -2? Had either or both been successful pregnancies- she like the Mothers/Fathers of her former cast members, would have been - A Single Mother too! Wishing her well. I do however pray that she stops speaking disparagingly about her former castmates. Cause there are far too many out here that know the truth of her on the Black Ink Set.
st. croix fredriksted you guys dont need to jump down my throat for my opinion.. Yes, i know how she came off sometimes on the show & at times i didn't like her that much myself.. But that still doesn't take from the fact i think shes still classy & beautiful
Dutchess is a fighter. And she is great. That show put her in a negative light. She is beautiful and strong and independent. Perfectly flawed. She is evolving and that's all that matters. And she WAS different than the rest on the show because she was from the south. Totally different culture. Southerners are timid when it comes to dealing with northerners. And she fought back when she felt threatened. She did the best she could is what I believe. I felt everything when she talked about who she is. JEHOVAH BLESS YOU QUEEN!!@
Shaquille& Shaquille and, I don't understand why she keep talking about she grew up with both parents..yada yada..good for you..but, your family isn't perfect. Why is she always crying? And, I don't think she's over Ceasar. My opinion.
Charlene Burke girl I couldn’t agree with you more . The 2 parent household thing is just a cover up . Her family ain’t perfect . There have been people brought up in single parent households that are doin way better than her . So she needs to stop . We see through the bullshit !
Dutchess Is such a beautiful soul inside n out!!! I recognized the light in u all the time. Keep going Queen❤️💛❤️💛👑👑💄💄🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️Keep Shining Bright Like a 💎
I have a love and hate with her. What I love about her is she’s smart, independent & very hard working. What I don’t like about her is she loves to play the victim but then when that person is fed up with her shit and get in her face she backs down and don’t own up to her shit . She puts people down to make herself feel better.
I didn't know that show was so painful for her. I like this show because they don't allow that cattiness. They prove that black women actually can get along!
Dutchess was an evil person who acted like she was the boss. She was a manipulator and and very vindictive. I feel bad that she tried to hurt herself, but if you watched the show, she tried to run things and ruined friendships that were there long before she was. No, she was an arrogant, thinking she was the cat's meow (Ms. Kitty #1), but the best thing was for those two to go their separate ways. She was doing her dirt and I don't feel sorry for her in that sense. She was not a nice person. She talks about empowering women but the one's you should have been talking about empowering are the ones you tear down. You wanted Ceaser and you are a woman scorned. Get over it and do you already. Oh and you know you lied on Donna about Miami. We heard you......
Awesome interview! GOD bless you Dutchess and GOD bless the women/staff of Sister Circle for having her. This interview was soooo moving, what a beautiful soul♡ Some VH1 producers will tarnish the image of any woman/man/family that isn't bendable, selfless, and those that do not value themselves. She is so right, they will paint the worse picture ever. You can still see the hurt in her eyes, but what matters most is that you continue to Keep Going and Fight because with GOD steering your vessel, ANY destination can be reached. Tfs😘🙌🙌
I like dutchess but just because she went to college and gad a 2 parent home doesn't make her bettet than anyone else. There are plenty of one parent homes whose chikdren exceeded very well whethet in college ir in acting. She should nit b talking about her old cast members now that she is not with them any more. Remember its her role she gaf to play its only a reality show. And for her to say nobody else on the show was stronget than her then y did she leave instead of sticking it out. It shows she was very weak. And on any intervuew she has she will show fake tears girl bye. Stop thinking you better than the next.
People need to stop falling for the fake shit. Y'all do know that reality television is not really reality. The people have to play certain characters based on the scripts that were given to them...
She had a choice, she CHOSE to agree to play the character they gave her. Once her and Ceaser relationship went sour, THEN she blames production that they edited episodes to portray her a certain way. But at the end of the day, SHE COULD HAVE LEFT AT ANY TIME TO AVOID IT ALL. Reality tv isn't real reality, but she have to accept the role she took in them even being able to portray her negatively in the first place.
Rae Love would you be saying the same thing if an actor was chosen after auditioning for a movie where they must act crazy and pretend to be in love with someone who they don't love but now people are trying to make that actor out to be a bad person? It's the same logic, and at the end of the day they are doing their job.
Sir Izzon so believe that Dutchess was acting but the rest are as she says, beneath her? Either you're saying all this shit is fake including "dutchess" sitting in this "circle" or you're a hypocrite
Quad you really need to knock it off. I cant with the tears for EVERYTHING OMG! Not everything deserves your tears. I just cant this is hilarious to me. Great interview.
Here's my thing with Dutchess. I watched the show from season one and she was my FAVORITE!! She acts lightskinned, but that comes with the territory. She DID come on strong about Cease friends, but she ended up being right about them. I was done at "Donna took advantage of me" And then when she let Sky son do that interview in her shop I was officially done. All these tears and she's never admitted to HER part in how she was portrayed. I can't get with people that constantly blame others.
This is the problem with people when a person wants to move on and find peace and live , people hate that and they love to tear down others because they’re not happy they want tear other people
"Emanuel (Ceaser) attended Katherine Gibbs College in New York where he earned an associate degree in visual communication." He attended KGC for two years. He also graduated from an Artsy high school. The combination is 'Bachelor' degree enough for me.
But Dutch,... I'm an educated black woman (from a two parent household if that matters so much) and I used to LOVE you on the show but you started referring to your coworkers as minions and treating them like slaves?! That was too much....
I am a hug fan of Duchess and everything that she's been through and the advice that she give, helped me get through what I went through.... Thank you Queen Duchess for being not just yourself, but a inspiration to all woman....
She always sound like people who were raised by single parents choose that life. It’s not the first time she threw that shady statement 🙄 growing up with both parents doesn’t mean u are better than everyone. I hope she doesn’t get to be a single mum coz no one choose that
It’s no shade it’s just some values are different and your view point of certain situations are not the same I have to explain that to my husband all the time
God is using you Sis! I'm so glad you left the show. It was only a stepping stone. After listening to your story, you motivated me to not be afraid of the unexpected. My business is just picking up and I've had the haters come full blast and I've been knocked down. But, God is with me and I'm confident that like you, I'll be victorious. Blessings!
I understand what she says to a point but I don't agree with all she is saying . verbatim" the producers made you look a certain way" Why did you stay on the show so long ? Not buyin it we all are opportunist believe it or not so there were reasons you stood on the show Dutchess. For someone who was the most educated of the bunch your behavior said differently. You knew what you signed up for.
Christal Willy contractual reasons if she signed for x amount of seasons but after the 1st season realize hey this is not what I signed up for or this is not what was suppose to be shown what can you do other than speak your truth
Very good interview! Thank you for featuring Dutchess in this way. Mental illness is a topic that we need to take more seriously and I love that she spoke so candidly about it.
Ok Dutchess. I guess you forgot we HEARD you and SAW you!!! You're not a victim by no means and trying to put the cast down in "your" suddle way doesn't show growth.
That was sweet. A lot of times you become who you surround yourself with. And she pointed out a good point on how these Black women shows constantly attack one another and put one another down. That is not Godly and not the teaching you should spread. It should be about loving one another and encouraging one another. You can have a hit show with good things being said. The more evil come out your mouth is the more evil in your heart. You can't get away from evil if it's in your heart. You will find something wrong with everyone you come in contact with. And those reality shows has done some damage to one another.
I'm so glad to hear Dutchess Lattimore's story! I have never watched the show, but I understand from another black reality show that the media will portray you as something that you are not. So I'm learning to take those things with a grain of salt. I am glad she had the courage to speak up and speak life into her situation and be vulnerable to share this on air. What a blessing!
It was a low low to say the people she was around weren’t college graduates or coming from 2 parent homes... Dutches be playing victim..... all the people she was around made it regardless of their circumstances
Love her❤️ Beautiful heart, sincere. Wisdom out of this world. So relatable! This is interview was so touching. It blessed me. Thank you all for having her on your show.
I have never seen the movie ink but to hear you speak it is very pure and authentic and you are so true to yourself I think hearing you speak on taking a stand for what you believe is all that and a bag of chips I over came depression it's the most darkest place in the world I prayed my mom prayed my pastor vprayed and sometimes my husband i was with prayed and only God heal and delivered me to hear from you only brought my heart grateful for being bold in your walk keep God always in your plans and so shall you continue to prosper God bless you duxes well spokeb
If it wasn't for that show, that she hates so much... she wouldn't be on this interview. That show gave her a platform and opened doors and other opportunities she wouldn't have otherwise... I understand there may have been moments that were difficult for her on the show. However she's failing to give credit were Credit is due
I am glad Dutchess had the strength to walk away from the show that created its success by degraded black men and women. I am glad Dutchess had the opportunity to rediscover herself. When you are portrayed as a certain character based upon the editing of a show, you can easily lose sight of who you are. Dutchess is a fighter and courageous. We will hear from her soon, but in a more positive and constructive way. Dutchess rocks
Dutchess, i love you girl, even when you were on Black Ink. You are dope, intelligent, beautiful and a real woman. I saw that then and i see it now. I see your pain and i am glad u express it and you learn from it. That's inspiring. I see alot of myself in you. Baby girl you are doing just fine.
I really like her . We’re so hard on each other ...time to change things . Especially with black women . We’re so disrespected and deserve so much more .
Tryharder 1234; you are so correct, we are truly disrespected. Yes we deserve more but it has to start with each one of us. Black women tear each other down on so many levels; I stopped watching reality TV for that same reason. Hearing the whores and Bitches used like it's a blessing is so appalling.

Please can we, It's rough out here!!
yessszss try I always liked her for some reasonnnnnn
Exactly
Folks act like people can't grow up..let this woman be. Y'all act like Caesar was so great all the time.
Exactly! This woman supported him, paid his child support etc. He should be ashamed.
C S thank you

I felt Dutchess pain thru this interview. As progressive women we have to support each other, not disrespect one another. We get enough of that from everyone else. Dutchess do your thing. Elevate and never look back.💞
Vicky Fullard Yes we do 👏👏👏👏
Can you say motivation!! I knew help was on the way, and it came and was delivered at the right time...I needed that!
Exactly

She deserves no more respect than she showed her co-stars. For the record she's not a "woman" she's female. She's appears to be a trick looking for a come up!
Awww, I feel her so much. She knows where she belongs.💖💖💖
Lailah Lynn love your channel
Exactly, Lailah Lynn, many can't say that, like these randoms in the comments posting negativity.
Amber Lucille thank you so much!!! 🤗
Ras T LoL
Lailah Lynn I agree
Dutchess is cool and I get what she saying about being from somewhere not as fast paced like North Carolina.I am from North Carolina and had to deal with moving to Chicago which was soooo different. However Dutchess has to own up to a lot of things she has done as well! The crew and people didnt make you do everything you did on the show!
Damon Cordell true!
But, don't the network edits parts as well for a storyline to keep people watching. Just asking. Shout out North Carolina!!
They do but not everything can be blamed on that! That’s what they all say when people see them in a certAin light!
Ok. Well maybe now that she's trying to put her young pass behind her and was able to grow from it to be a better person.
Damon Cordell right 💯
Dutchess is crazy and she may do a lot of things but she is a terrific tattoo artist you have to give her credit you can't take that away from her the girl is talented when it comes to tattoos

I really like Dutchess. I see her going very far, even if it's not as a typical celebrity. She's too good for Hollyweired!!!

She had her ass done... but it balances out with the extra weight
She looks really good ❤️

I love the fact that when Dutchess dresses up or down... it expresses her true personality!
Good to see Dutchess in a happy place. I love the way she articulates and her positive attitude since leaving Black Ink. 💓
I have an completely different view than most of the people in the comments but I have seen how vicious she can be first hand on the show. Producers didnt make her lie to people...they didnt make her talk about peoples miscarriages...or downgrading other black people on the show because they didnt have the same resources as her to get an education or have an two parent home.

Producers gave her the gun but she was the one who shot it of her free will. I hope that she really change but someone as toxic as she was I don't believe she has but I pray for the best for her.
Talesha Capler well said
Le Lum you know her personally?
Talesha Capler so true . She needs to humble herself .
It’s good that she was raised in a two-parent home .
It’s good that she had the opportunity to go to school.
But, the others on the show didn’t have that luxury and it doesn’t make her better than them.
She is a manipulator , a sly fox ... the way she speaks so calmly and confidently you would believe her ..
🙄🙄🙄
Talesha Capler well said

I wouldn't wish depression or threats on anyone BUT Dutchess' hands weren't clean either. She manipulated, instigated & told lies numerous times on the show.

Peep It
youre a victim of believing reality tv scripts since you can't see through that. do some real reading and maybe youll figure it out one day
I love the way she speaks of her parents marriage beautiful. But on the show you would never now she came from a two parent home or be a college graduate. So maybe she adapted to her environment
Akstylez _ak She told that on the show, and they showed her parents on the show. Caesar visited her parents in NC before.
Akstylez _ak well where did the beauty go cause the dad dogged the mom and have a outside child Soo...
I like quad better on this show she seems more herself on this than married to medicine but get these checks ms quad

Dutchess is full of 💩 because why she was so say thinking about suicide, she was also trying to take half of everything Ceaser own & setting up interviews in her shop just for Sky son to talk bad about his mother as if she care about that child. When we know she only did that shit to get back at Sky for whatever reason, but wanna act as if she didn’t do anything for them to keep bringing her name back up.

Dutchess is a fighter. And she is great. That show put her in a negative light. She is beautiful and strong and independent. Perfectly flawed. She is evolving and that's all that matters. And she WAS different than the rest on the show because she was from the south. Totally different culture. Southerners are timid when it comes to dealing with northerners. And she fought back when she felt threatened. She did the best she could is what I believe. I felt everything when she talked about who she is. JEHOVAH BLESS YOU QUEEN!!@
Proud of you Dutchess
This interview made me like her even more!! God bless you Dutchess
Girl u touched my heart... You are indeed an inspiration for your strong persona ❤💪 got me in tears! 😭
She basically thinks she’s better than them 😂😂😂
Shaquille& Shaquille and, I don't understand why she keep talking about she grew up with both parents..yada yada..good for you..but, your family isn't perfect. Why is she always crying? And, I don't think she's over Ceasar. My opinion.
Charlene Burke girl I couldn’t agree with you more . The 2 parent household thing is just a cover up . Her family ain’t perfect . There have been people brought up in single parent households that are doin way better than her . So she needs to stop . We see through the bullshit !
Are y’all mad she grew up with both parents 😩😩😩🤦🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️
Shaquille& Shaquille Thank you! Coming from a two parent home doesn't make you better.
Shaquille& Shaquille SHE IS BETTER
Accountability, word of the day.
Dutchess Is such a beautiful soul inside n out!!! I recognized the light in u all the time. Keep going Queen❤️💛❤️💛👑👑💄💄🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️Keep Shining Bright Like a 💎
I have a love and hate with her. What I love about her is she’s smart, independent & very hard working. What I don’t like about her is she loves to play the victim but then when that person is fed up with her shit and get in her face she backs down and don’t own up to her shit . She puts people down to make herself feel better.
I didn't know that show was so painful for her. I like this show because they don't allow that cattiness. They prove that black women actually can get along!
Vashti Fowler What show are you talking about?
Dutchess was an evil person who acted like she was the boss. She was a manipulator and and very vindictive. I feel bad that she tried to hurt herself, but if you watched the show, she tried to run things and ruined friendships that were there long before she was. No, she was an arrogant, thinking she was the cat's meow (Ms. Kitty #1), but the best thing was for those two to go their separate ways. She was doing her dirt and I don't feel sorry for her in that sense. She was not a nice person. She talks about empowering women but the one's you should have been talking about empowering are the ones you tear down. You wanted Ceaser and you are a woman scorned. Get over it and do you already. Oh and you know you lied on Donna about Miami. We heard you......
I met Duchess in Airport. She talked and laughed with me like she has known me for years. She is a awesome lady. Keep Shining Queen!
Awesome interview! GOD bless you Dutchess and GOD bless the women/staff of Sister Circle for having her. This interview was soooo moving, what a beautiful soul♡ Some VH1 producers will tarnish the image of any woman/man/family that isn't bendable, selfless, and those that do not value themselves. She is so right, they will paint the worse picture ever. You can still see the hurt in her eyes, but what matters most is that you continue to Keep Going and Fight because with GOD steering your vessel, ANY destination can be reached. Tfs😘🙌🙌
I like dutchess but just because she went to college and gad a 2 parent home doesn't make her bettet than anyone else. There are plenty of one parent homes whose chikdren exceeded very well whethet in college ir in acting. She should nit b talking about her old cast members now that she is not with them any more. Remember its her role she gaf to play its only a reality show. And for her to say nobody else on the show was stronget than her then y did she leave instead of sticking it out. It shows she was very weak. And on any intervuew she has she will show fake tears girl bye. Stop thinking you better than the next.
She basically spoke her peace👐👐👐
God Bless you Dutchess you spoke from your heart !
Cry those crocodile tears. Dutchess treats people nasty
Stay strong sis! Good interview!
She Makes North Carolina Seem Peaceful.
Wow! I had no idea who she was but she was very inspiring! Shout out to ALL the #HBCUs!!!!! A Delaware State University Alum! Go HORNETS!
I graduated from UMES!! Class of 02
People need to stop falling for the fake shit. Y'all do know that reality television is not really reality. The people have to play certain characters based on the scripts that were given to them...
Sir Izzon exactly but I don’t think people realize that.
She had a choice, she CHOSE to agree to play the character they gave her. Once her and Ceaser relationship went sour, THEN she blames production that they edited episodes to portray her a certain way. But at the end of the day, SHE COULD HAVE LEFT AT ANY TIME TO AVOID IT ALL. Reality tv isn't real reality, but she have to accept the role she took in them even being able to portray her negatively in the first place.
Sir Izzon and them checks are reality too, act or no act you know what your getting yourself into. That's the reality.
Rae Love would you be saying the same thing if an actor was chosen after auditioning for a movie where they must act crazy and pretend to be in love with someone who they don't love but now people are trying to make that actor out to be a bad person? It's the same logic, and at the end of the day they are doing their job.
Sir Izzon so believe that Dutchess was acting but the rest are as she says, beneath her? Either you're saying all this shit is fake including "dutchess" sitting in this "circle" or you're a hypocrite
Quad you really need to knock it off. I cant with the tears for EVERYTHING OMG! Not everything deserves your tears. I just cant this is hilarious to me. Great interview.
Kiera Wright lmmmmaoooo
i call it the lil tear that couldnt llooool shes tooo much man!
Girl so true. Its not like were hating or being negative to our fellow sister but enough is enough its just too much.
Right, she made me mad when she cut off the other woman about how good her marriage was doing. I would have side-eyed her.
Kiera Wright 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👍
Dutchess!!! You got me in tears....Best of Luck QUEEN!!!
Here's my thing with Dutchess. I watched the show from season one and she was my FAVORITE!! She acts lightskinned, but that comes with the territory. She DID come on strong about Cease friends, but she ended up being right about them. I was done at "Donna took advantage of me" And then when she let Sky son do that interview in her shop I was officially done. All these tears and she's never admitted to HER part in how she was portrayed. I can't get with people that constantly blame others.
That is crazy. I guess you didn't watch every season or episode.
@@realitydoll216 Girl, this was 3 years ago. Go away.
@@tbetters2012 This is social media. Dude it doesn't matter how long it is. Muted.
This is the problem with people when a person wants to move on and find peace and live , people hate that and they love to tear down others because they’re not happy they want tear other people
Love Dutchess! But ummmm... Caesar has a bachelor degree in graphic design. Now the rest of the cast....
Shalise Speaks and I'm sure Dutchess would know that if it was true
"Emanuel (Ceaser) attended Katherine Gibbs College in New York where he earned an associate degree in visual communication." He attended KGC for two years. He also graduated from an Artsy high school. The combination is 'Bachelor' degree enough for me.
When I say I have received everything she said Dutchess done made me cry I just want God to keep blessing her
But Dutch,... I'm an educated black woman (from a two parent household if that matters so much) and I used to LOVE you on the show but you started referring to your coworkers as minions and treating them like slaves?! That was too much....
Peep It
Don't forget the false rape allegations because she didn't want to be caught cheating!
I am a hug fan of Duchess and everything that she's been through and the advice that she give, helped me get through what I went through.... Thank you Queen Duchess for being not just yourself, but a inspiration to all woman....
She always sound like people who were raised by single parents choose that life. It’s not the first time she threw that shady statement 🙄 growing up with both parents doesn’t mean u are better than everyone. I hope she doesn’t get to be a single mum coz no one choose that
Not what she is saying. People have different paths.
It’s no shade it’s just some values are different and your view point of certain situations are not the same I have to explain that to my husband all the time
Her parents raised her, she got a degree and she was "still" a stripper.
God is using you Sis! I'm so glad you left the show. It was only a stepping stone. After listening to your story, you motivated me to not be afraid of the unexpected. My business is just picking up and I've had the haters come full blast and I've been knocked down. But, God is with me and I'm confident that like you, I'll be victorious. Blessings!
Excellent interview. Really enjoyed the ladies
I love the way she speaks! Honestly and powerfully, you can tell she’s well educated.
Hope she keeps on growing in the right direction!
i am so proud of Duchess i wondered where she was and wat she was doing wat a sweet and wonderful young lady may god bless u sweet heart...
She's nervous bc she is sitting with a group of smart, intelligent black women in Big Circle just like her 😊😊😊She don't have to fight anyone
I love Dutchess she is so real & she serves a purpose on this earth. She is an intelligent, humble, beautiful young woman. She is a Black Queen!
Dutchess preeeetae!!!!! She is doing great Iw/out blackkkkkink💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
This was deep. I hope all parties can move forward and be an inspiration to others and stop all the bull shit for television
I understand what she says to a point but I don't agree with all she is saying . verbatim" the producers made you look a certain way" Why did you stay on the show so long ? Not buyin it we all are opportunist believe it or not so there were reasons you stood on the show Dutchess. For someone who was the most educated of the bunch your behavior said differently. You knew what you signed up for.
Christal Willy contractual reasons if she signed for x amount of seasons but after the 1st season realize hey this is not what I signed up for or this is not what was suppose to be shown what can you do other than speak your truth
Christal Willy she wanted that money to get her business started. She sold her soul too.
Yaaaaaaaaaaaasssss! Dutchess best decision was leaving that toxic show......Everyone on the show is slowly self destructing while you are thriving.
I’m glade she spoke on porsha and kandi situation!!
D.I.Y with a smile I agree
What's interesting is how she turned into a Porsha because she falsely accused someone of rape because she didn't want to be caught cheating.
POWERFUL STATEMENT. I am going to listen to this over and over!
Dutchess is a true Pisces they are master manipulators and good at playing the victim even though they are far from it...😂
Master Mom Gaming Addikt I'm a Libra and that's a big lie Bitch!! Pisces are not real.🤗
Very good interview! Thank you for featuring Dutchess in this way. Mental illness is a topic that we need to take more seriously and I love that she spoke so candidly about it.
Ok Dutchess. I guess you forgot we HEARD you and SAW you!!! You're not a victim by no means and trying to put the cast down in "your" suddle way doesn't show growth.
It really doesn't!!
Fake Fraud!!!! With them UGLY SORRY LOOKING LIE'N FACES!!! Next!!!
Tamika Jones thank you lol
Right, has to own up to her wrong.
That was sweet. A lot of times you become who you surround yourself with. And she pointed out a good point on how these Black women shows constantly attack one another and put one another down. That is not Godly and not the teaching you should spread. It should be about loving one another and encouraging one another. You can have a hit show with good things being said. The more evil come out your mouth is the more evil in your heart. You can't get away from evil if it's in your heart. You will find something wrong with everyone you come in contact with. And those reality shows has done some damage to one another.
I like Duchess however she acts as if she is better than other cast mates. Duchess has a big ego .
I'm so glad to hear Dutchess Lattimore's story! I have never watched the show, but I understand from another black reality show that the media will portray you as something that you are not. So I'm learning to take those things with a grain of salt. I am glad she had the courage to speak up and speak life into her situation and be vulnerable to share this on air. What a blessing!
But she was wrong for being sky son to her shop for interview. She is hypocrite
Kesha B exactly she forgot that!
She didn't set it up she didn't even Kno sky son
He went there on his own with his dad.
She didn't bring Sky son in her tattoo shop she explain that on the breakfast club the father and the son set that up
Bingo!!
I did not expect to be in tears over here @Dutchess. Go ahead girl I’m rooting for you. Always have ❤️
It was a low low to say the people she was around weren’t college graduates or coming from 2 parent homes... Dutches be playing victim..... all the people she was around made it regardless of their circumstances
Love her❤️ Beautiful heart, sincere. Wisdom out of this world. So relatable! This is interview was so touching. It blessed me. Thank you all for having her on your show.
Oh wowwwwwwwwwwww She deserves waaaaaaaay more than Caesar n crew💕💕💕💕👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Stay blessed sister Dutchess Lattimore and Big ups to sister circle for keeping it real! Great interview!
Amazing interview ladies!!!
I have never seen the movie ink but to hear you speak it is very pure and authentic and you are so true to yourself I think hearing you speak on taking a stand for what you believe is all that and a bag of chips I over came depression it's the most darkest place in the world I prayed my mom prayed my pastor vprayed and sometimes my husband i was with prayed and only God heal and delivered me to hear from you only brought my heart grateful for being bold in your walk keep God always in your plans and so shall you continue to prosper God bless you duxes well spokeb
I love dutchess so much she so inspiring💕💯
Lawd I just died...I thought Quad was asking 4 a tissue 2 give 2 Duchess...This bih took the tissue and wiped her dry eyes 😂😂😂😂😂😂 I'm done!
Dutchess Testimony really Blessed me. #themsgiskeepgoing #NevaGIVEup
Awww Dutchess, this made me tear. I’m proud of her journey and where she’s going.
If it wasn't for that show, that she hates so much... she wouldn't be on this interview. That show gave her a platform and opened doors and other opportunities she wouldn't have otherwise... I understand there may have been moments that were difficult for her on the show. However she's failing to give credit were Credit is due
Tatting Is Def A Dope Artform..Some Religous Say We're Not Suppose To Tat Are Bodies But..It's Dope
I'm sure Porsha will have a response, wait for it...
Danielle Nunn they got to looking like wait, what, huh?! We weren’t trying to get in to that... you can tell that portion was awkward for them
I am glad Dutchess had the strength to walk away from the show that created its success by degraded black men and women. I am glad Dutchess had the opportunity to rediscover herself. When you are portrayed as a certain character based upon the editing of a show, you can easily lose sight of who you are. Dutchess is a fighter and courageous. We will hear from her soon, but in a more positive and constructive way. Dutchess rocks
I like you dutches butttt kandi brand didn't suffer because we all knew kandi a freak and not a rapist.... 😂 😂 😂 😂
I'm so proud of Dutchess for being strong & moving on with her life I stop watching Black Ink when she left the show
Girl you were not the topic of every episode
Laneta s exactly she is reaching and she know she be watching
Lol
Dutchess, i love you girl, even when you were on Black Ink. You are dope, intelligent, beautiful and a real woman. I saw that then and i see it now. I see your pain and i am glad u express it and you learn from it. That's inspiring. I see alot of myself in you. Baby girl you are doing just fine.
dutchess looks beautiful I miss her on the show I miss puma sassy all of them shit changed and it's fake af now
Thanks so much Dutchess for the interview
she seems to be in a better place. I'm so glad. she seemed to be angry all the time
Love this interview! All of you made me proud to see women supporting each other
Dutchess looks great
Dutchess you look amazing may God continue to bless you!
Am so glad I watch this you are an amazing young lady keep inspirating
This shifted into a power-FULL platform to reset and refresh public perception on this nubian queen! Thanks for sharing this moment.
I cried the whole time 😭😭
Simply Beautiful!!! So Proud Of You Dutchess!! Let God Shine Through You!!
