Gen X had cameras and are responsible for this addiction to over sharing by way of raising these tablet spoiled babies that are currently ruining humanity. I struggled not to post what I was thinking and pictures to prove I was "there"
I'm glad she clarified the difference between the parties and the freak-offs. Because people don't seem to understand the difference between a regular function and the "after party" where things go down at.
Right! I’m still not understanding why it’s not registering because a plethora of celebs/non celebs said several times that the freakoffs would take place after 12AM!!!! So clearly that means the parties were before hand.
Still sometimes it’s not the after party, that is a totally different day! Specific locations, specific guest list… now it doesn’t mean shit never happen at the celebrity parties and/or after parties…
Very intelligent and still absolutely beautiful! I'm so happy that she survived such cut throat industry. I feel that she is so much better than being called a video Vixen.
Carlos! You better hurry up and interview Karin Stephens (Superhead)before Club Shay Shay grabs her first and gets the record numbers that you would die for!
Y'all are missing the point. She's not mad that her and Tocarra dated the same person at the same time. Tocarra sat there and let her friend tell her about a guy she was excited to be dating and then kept quiet and didnt say sht while she literally dressed up to go see the same man her friend is talking about. If you're a good friend, wouldn't you say right there and then "Oh wait girl,I'm seeing him too, I'm dressing up to go see him now." Thats a little conniving, idk
Yeah it's messed up what Toccara did however, she told the same story on Melyssa podcast and it didn't seem like she had a problem with it,so I'm not understanding why she was mad about Toccara comments on her interview.
She looks amazing and she’s very intellectual more than the judgement people give her. She’s great on the Joe Budden podcast I love her authenticity. Keep grinding sis
Glad Melissa did this interview. Joe barely let’s her get a word out on the pod as if she’s the butt of the pod. She’s a dynamic and multifaceted being, consummate in her own right. We’re barely get to see her layers.
Amen! I am 64yo and My Mother always said that if someone was jealous enough of you, they would plot your very death. Women can be very vicious toward one another. So sad as we should be protective of each other.
@Rubylily2509 you are so right. I don't think I'm camera test model beautiful. But im comfortable in my own skin. People will hate you for that. Knowing who you are is a problem for most and they project the envy.
This interview made me love her even more!! And I will definitely be tuned into her podcast in November, cause those pre-menopause symptoms are no joke!
@@amandamilo3454 I agree because she has been through it all working in the industry. I'm actually proud of her and I have enjoyed watching her grow into who she is now.
I like listening to Melyssa speak. Not too many video vixens of the ‘90’s once known mainly for their physique are still out here people making moves till this day that is not sexualized. She knows what she’s doing in those rooms full of men and now she’s launching her own podcast. Good for her.
I love Melissa in interviews!!! One thing she gonna do is speak life into herself and let you know her worth! She’s very self aware and love it! On top of that she’s smart AF!
Just curious. I know we all have our celebrity crushes but when it became that deep, did it ever make you feel jealous? Ever wondered if he fantasized for you as he did for her?
@@321Venia nope. Not at all. In my relationship the unknown causes a problem. And if he was fantasizing about her when he was with me, I owe Melyssa a thank you 😊.
Melyssa is well-spoken & she wrote a heartfelt open letter on grief & loss for VIBE after her mum's passing, which was so poignantly beautiful. Her brief talk abt the strained mother/daughter r/s dynamic...deep. Where can we download Melyssa's podcast...we needed that menopause information yesterday...it's great to see that someone is actually going to dedicate time to this issue. Thanks Melyssa!!!
1:25:38 Mel is right about the hive mind that occurs on the JBP; that's why I really appreciate when one of the guys isn't afraid to stick up for her and say "na she's actually right", while the rest of the room passionately argues the opposite. It's also become an increasingly argument based show; I bet it's not easy to be the only woman in the room while 5 dudes pick apart your argument - so sometimes she doesn't voice her difference of opinion.. Regardless all of the arguments make for a passionate fanbase, and Mel has picked up a bunch of fans from the show
They pick apart each other's arguments. They all can disagree with 1 of the guys and its no problem but God forbid if they don't all agree with her then it's misogynistic lol smh. That's why I liked the pod better when it was just guys and they didn't have to walk on eggshells. It should be ok to disagree with her. They all talk over each other but again, God forbid she gets cut off and she's a victim. It's annoying. I miss when they could speak freely without having to dance around one person. She chose to come onto an all guy podcast yet they have to cater to her or else they'll get accused of being misogynistic and it's annoying.
She’s a sucker for even being on that pod. I hate how she kowtows all the time. But I guess she had to after Jason kicked her to the curb. Remember he said she was broke. She needed leverage
Absolute grace. I adore her motivation. I admire her dedication to NOT spit on anyone. Even when they’ve committed to defaming her. She’s First Lady. 💜
Carlos, you are such an engaging, respectful and authentic interviewer. It was a pleasure watching YOU! Ms. Ford is Queen, and she was bomb…..as usual. However, you, Sir, are very refreshing in this space.
Her ability to speak about her accident and her mom’s death without shedding a tear is admirable. ❤ I’ve been thru similar situations and I rarely speak about them in detail bcuz I fall apart 😩
I never understand why women get so upset with each other, when clearly the man is the THE PROBLEM. Drake is a WHOLE ENTIRE FOOL, out in these streets. Dude was DATING EVERYONE. So why you made at Tocarra?! Like, Drake was dating you and your bestie. Lets be honest. The dude is a "serial dater." He has never PUBLICLY claimed ANYONE. PERIOD.
I think she is more mad that they had a convo about privately and publicly, and tocarra made her the bad guy in the new story. That was her friend. If that was how you really felt, why did I have to find that out on that interview.
@@jeniciaw I thought Melyssa was already aware and really didn't care. I was surprised how angry she got, but that is a good point. No one likes to be blindsided.
I screamed so hard when she said the early 2000s. I'm 40 now, and I had a ball being a teenager around that time. No real social media, except MySpace😂 in which my page stayed playing. music. Teen clubs, good music, jersey dresses, good times.
After listening to both Melissa and Tocarra's account of this story the only thing that goes through my head is Wendy Williams famous quote..."there are no friends in Hollywood" 😂
I will say Melissa Fords voice is perfect for the microphone 🎤 be it podcast or voice over / narration work in media she is well articulate and her tone it’s all there
Melyssa honey I just love your story... I am from Toronto too and am so proud of you, I have been watching your story for years.... so grateful you healed from your car accident. You are an inspiration to all of us...thank you
I was absolutely meant to see this. I have always gone up for this woman!! Today is my mom's 70th birthday, and our relationship sounds like Melyssa and her mom's. Melyssa, God just worked through you to convince me to change some things. For that, I am thankful.
If she’s single I definitely don’t feel bad being single. And I’m more than sure she has a better choice of men than I. It goes to show this dating thing is awful these days
Thank you Carlos for giving Melyssa a platform to speak uninterrupted. She deserves her flowers and is so underrated. I’ve always been a fan even before blood sweat and heels. She so educated and has experienced / seen so much. 😊 luv her
So glad she spoke about the symptoms of perimenopause. So many ppl get labeled as crazy, depressed, bipolar around that age.... It's hormonal, and there's help for it.
At first I thought about watching this video but I'm soooo happy that I watched it. She hit a lot of good points. I felt every word about when she was experiencing anxiety. I am now a Melissa Ford fan! She was soooo genuine
I like Melissa; however, let’s call a thing a THING- She had a problem that Drake dated Toccara or even found Toccara remotely attractive. She gives me petty vibes with a dash of mean girl.
I understand self confidence, but she is putting wayyyyyy too much on her looks. Calm down girl. Why didn’t she evolve in her career other than being a video girl or a criminologist.
@@Jae_Denee I like her too but I feel like she was being so dishonest. Toccara. Buffie the Body. 🤔 Is there a pattern here? And, I am always leery of the person who screams that someone is jealous of them.
@@chiboyshades7817 exactly! Girl we know you was the gwwwworl back in the day. Toccara was very respectful when she spoke of her and she didn’t say anything negative that warranted Melissa’s response.
I don’t understand being mad at taccara I don’t think she said anything incriminating. She didn’t blame Melissa for anything. Why all the smoke. It’s getting petty. And I believe taccara said that she didn’t know she was dating Drake either. Soooooo what’s the big deal.
@@jeniciaw I’ve heard it all from the beginning even when they talked about it on Melissa’s old podcast. And I’m saying that I don’t think that tocarra said it in that way at all. I think she was sharing from her perspective and she said that no one knew she was dating Drake and she didn’t know Melissa was dating Drake and she just sho happened to be getting ready for a date when she came over to gush. Maybe she wasn’t aware of that detail previously ok whatever but I don’t think tocarra was trying to downplay her or throw salt on her
@@janeli4616 I think she should direct that smoke to Carlos bc he brought it up being messy. And tocarra acknowledged that they had already talked about that on Melissa’s podcast. Furthermore, I feel like tocarra looked very uncomfortable when Melissa brought it up on her podcast so I don’t think anything is different from then
Love Melyssa! Not for her face but her brain, wisdom gained. I don’t think the JBP does her justice. Appreciate what women like her had to go through and to come out strong ❤
What does her being “Melyssa Ford” have to do with anything Toccara said? Lol Toccara is similarly that girl, and her being Melyssa Ford didn’t keep Drake from cheating on her 😭 To have all of this energy for Toccara (who did not have this energy for her) is probably where the “not a girl’s girl” comes from. I’m sure it happens often, but not every woman is jealous of her.
I do understand it's not talked about enough. I thought something was seriously wrong with me, but I going through perimenopause. It's rough. I wish more women would speak about it. I learn from watching doctors on UA-cam and doing my research.
Thankfully Gen X women are having the open convo about it and actively looking for solutions. We don’t have to suffer ,like our mothers and grandmothers did.
Never heard that. There is nothing to be ashamed of. It's a part of life and without the Women's reproductive cycle, no one can be born. Everyone should respect the entire life cycle and support their loved ones through it.
This lady, not once thank God publicly for saving her life. She mentioned him in a conversation, but not once thank him. I heard Carlos king thank God for his father being alive.
I swear to God I i am 38 the perimenopause must be hitting me becasue i can't think or speak and left school this week and Melyssa just BLESSED me with this podcast, as a fellow podcaster I am subscribing now.
I have always liked how Melyssa Ford has carried herself! Carlos said it best she is truly the face of music videos in the 2000’s. It’s refreshing to hear her take on things surfacing about the entertainment industry. Another great interview Carlos! 💞✨
Awesome interview! She was so on point about grieving and perimenopause. I loss my mom 6 months ago and everything she said is spot on of what I'm dealing with now.
I am studying for the GRE atm. I will be back to this video and watching more of her interviews to understand what “interloper” (or whatever she said) and all the other words that only her and TI use. Keep using your platform to teach us. Thanks Ms. Ford.
Ive always liked Melyssa! She is smart, articulate, professional, full of integrity, has a great personality, has great work ethic, self respect, self esteem and didn't sleep her way to the top. She's ALWAYS pushed education. Nothing but respect to this woman. In a world where all these hip hop women and wannabe ig models wanna look the same, talk the same, dress the same and talk ebonics, slave talk or stick talk, dont value having a vocabulary and dont even remotely try to spell and be grammatically correct, I appreciate where this woman has took the culture. She made intelligence look sexy.
This was a good interview❤ Chileee I feel Melyssa on the perimenopause Im so glad I am experiencing mines at 40. Yes you have to change your diet, exercise, bad habits etc.
That's Ms. M Ford!! Loved the interview. I was happy she was added to JBP. I want the male cast members to stop interrupting and dog piling her when she's speaking. So happy for this new podcast Hot & Bothered (btw glad the name changed) bc she's speaking to me and hoping it'll be informative and interesting ❤
She is beautiful, articulate, confident and self aware! Carlos is a top tier interviewer! He actually knows n reads up on the Guest which makes it engaging and authentic! 🎉🎉
Mel, if you're reading LEAVE THAT PODCAST! They don't value you, your intelligence and strength. They're weirdos (well, 90%) of them. Imani and Parks are OK with me.
Great discussion. Big Mel 🔥🔥🔥🔥 Nothing like a well-spoken beautiful woman!!! Can't wait to tune in to Hot & Bothered w/Melyssa Ford!!!!! Pay the haters dust. Big M4 holds her own day in and day out in a room full of capable, strong men, not easy!!!❤❤❤🎉
This interview was soooooooo good! Would love to be on M. Ford's podcast just to be apart of the convo! So happy she's starting this. It's a category and topic that is ignored!
"Be clear who I was in 2009, I'm Melyssa fkn Ford"!!!! - enough said!!!! Melyssa's beauty is unmatched Im sorry, theres no woman in the industry that can come close.
Melissa is definitely a liar. She has said on the JBP that she was sexually abused while in the industry now on here she’s saying she’s never been forced. Which is it? She’s mad at Tocarra for saying the exact same thing she said about Drake. Lastly, Mel has admitted and been known to pursue other women’s men. So all the jealousy talk is wild.
Also on the reality tv show she was picking on Geneva. Geneva told her plenty of times to leave her alone and Mel didn’t. Geneva picked up the first thing she saw.
While I’m not saying she didn’t change her story… I want to point out that sexual abuse covers a variety of acts. Sexual assault can be groping… which is abuse.
The story she told him about being onset and all the guys touching her and being escorted out of the room onto the set by the guy that came in is the story she’s told on the show before. She’s never said that she was sexually assaulted. She has said that she’s been in precarious situations. I’m pretty sure that’s a quote. I don’t see how she’s lying.
I agree, losing a parent is nothing in comparison because that's the natural order of things, they're supposed to go before you. Not to make light of anyone's grief (lost both parents) but losing a child is the worst pain...not a parent. Soooo sorry you had to feel that kind of loss. ❤
Moringa tea and being weight conscious may help you. Moringa tea and seeds are all natural and packed with vitamins such as zinc and potassium and iron .
As a person who has lost both parents with no children, they’re saying that’s the worst pain to experience because neither of them have children. So no disrespect to people who have lost children the closest love we’d receive would be from a mother 😢
My thing with Melyssa is that she always try to act like she was SOOOO above the crazy shit or she was the perfect angelic video vixen when in reality she was doing some of the same shit the other girls were doing just more lowkey about it. Girl they passed you around also stop it
omg her accident story made me tear up, i’m so happy she was able to survive that! i hope she got a nice check from that truck who hit her, absolutely ridiculous how they drive !
Melyssa cant keep saying it was 15 years ago when she brought it up 4 years ago and was on drink champs talking about it AGAIN 2 years ago. Drake was 22 she was 32. We’ve never heard Drake address her
I think its her attempt to stay relevant. She is tlking about the 90s and early 2000s which were literlly 2+ decades ago now. I feel for her honestly because I wonder if she would have settled down with a partner nd kids if she had not been a video vixen. Nothing is wrong with the creer she chose.It has allowed her to remin in the public eye in some capcity. However, as with career based on your physical appearance, you will eventually age out. There will be always new, younger, prettier womn waiting for you to getv up so they can sit down. I just think its easier for people when they have other priorities in life such as family, kids to walk away from the bright lights and not look back. But with her having none of those things (and I'm not saying she is not whole), i would think that her priorities remain around trying to stay relevant in the entertainment industry. When Cassie left the craziness of that life, she was married and had 2 children within 3 years of getting out of that lifestyle.
Honestly that's the impression I got from Tocarra and why she went to ask Drake directly. I think Melyssa may have a history of putting 20 on 10 and claiming ppl early. Remember Carlos said they were all friends early in their careers they know each other's tea. Why else would a friend think let me go and check with this man first. Sounds like Melyssa may have a history of stretching scenarios, but who knows.
@@nicoleh.6352 yes, I cannot even look at the magazine cover with Reagan, Mýa, Melyssa, and Buffie because you can tell in everybody’s eyes that something ridiculous went down at that shoot.
Buffie has been interviewed saying Mel was so mean to hear for no reason. Mel basically stomped and kicked because Buffie was at the same photoshoot as her. And the lady hit her with the bottle because Mel was antagonizing her 😅🤦🏽♀️

I recently saw it on Netflix
Loved that show
I loved that show!
Such a good show! My favorite. I was so disappointed when they cancelled it
After listening to both Melissa and Tocarra's account of this story the only thing that goes through my head is Wendy Williams famous quote..."there are no friends in Hollywood" 😂
R.I.P to Daisy from Blood sweat & Hills. 🌼 And I'm glad she sued and I hope those legal actions lead to a prosecution.
Wait! Was it Daisy that hit her in the head?
@@haz-j8eno it was geneva
@@haz-j8e Daisy had liver cancr. She ended up dying. She was the bubbly one
@@tamaramtl2024yep reminded me of a young Gayle King.
wait what???? what happened?
I will say Melissa Fords voice is perfect for the microphone 🎤 be it podcast or voice over / narration work in media she is well articulate and her tone it’s all there
I’ve watch Mel from Hollywood Unlock, to the JBP and now her own pod. She has grown a lot. It’s nice to see her growing into a more confident speaker.
Melyssa honey I just love your story... I am from Toronto too and am so proud of you, I have been watching your story for years.... so grateful you healed from your car accident. You are an inspiration to all of us...thank you
She reminds me of Jodi Watley so much. Carlos we been missing you and your tea filled interviews..keep them coming!!!!
I lost my mom last year and totally get that loss is like no other and has forever changed me
May GOD Bless you!
I was absolutely meant to see this. I have always gone up for this woman!! Today is my mom's 70th birthday, and our relationship sounds like Melyssa and her mom's. Melyssa, God just worked through you to convince me to change some things. For that, I am thankful.
If she’s single I definitely don’t feel bad being single. And I’m more than sure she has a better choice of men than I. It goes to show this dating thing is awful these days
She's single
Not by choice
CHECK HER RESUME
SHES DEFINITELY TIED WIT SUPAHEAD
Thank you Carlos for giving Melyssa a platform to speak uninterrupted. She deserves her flowers and is so underrated. I’ve always been a fan even before blood sweat and heels. She so educated and has experienced / seen so much. 😊 luv her
Heavy on “uninterrupted” cause with them JBP boys, she can never get a word in 😂😂
Love Her Down!!!
So glad she spoke about the symptoms of perimenopause. So many ppl get labeled as crazy, depressed, bipolar around that age.... It's hormonal, and there's help for it.
Loved this interview. Didn’t know I needed this one! Will be tuning into her podcast for sure.
Late 90s, Leaving the club at 4 am and going to work, being on time, and repeating that the next day.
Melyssa is so intelligent and beautiful, I can listen to her all day!!! ❤
At first I thought about watching this video but I'm soooo happy that I watched it. She hit a lot of good points. I felt every word about when she was experiencing anxiety. I am now a Melissa Ford fan! She was soooo genuine
I like Melissa; however, let’s call a thing a THING- She had a problem that Drake dated Toccara or even found Toccara remotely attractive. She gives me petty vibes with a dash of mean girl.
I understand self confidence, but she is putting wayyyyyy too much on her looks. Calm down girl. Why didn’t she evolve in her career other than being a video girl or a criminologist.
@@rabihaha.b.3934 Bingo.
@@Jae_Denee I like her too but I feel like she was being so dishonest. Toccara. Buffie the Body. 🤔 Is there a pattern here?
And, I am always leery of the person who screams that someone is jealous of them.
@@chiboyshades7817 exactly! Girl we know you was the gwwwworl back in the day. Toccara was very respectful when she spoke of her and she didn’t say anything negative that warranted Melissa’s response.
She's the poster child for women on bumble that's attractive middle aged, but still delusional and condescending 😂😂
I don’t understand being mad at taccara I don’t think she said anything incriminating. She didn’t blame Melissa for anything. Why all the smoke. It’s getting petty. And I believe taccara said that she didn’t know she was dating Drake either. Soooooo what’s the big deal.
They both didn't know and they spoke about before, but now tocarra is putting like Melissa was being sneaking and she didn't like it 🤷♀️
And you can tell Toccara felt a certain way about the situation as she was talking. She was throwing lil shots
They actually discussed this on melyssa’s old podcast. I think melyssa just doesnt like the tone and context in which is was brought up again
@@jeniciaw I’ve heard it all from the beginning even when they talked about it on Melissa’s old podcast. And I’m saying that I don’t think that tocarra said it in that way at all. I think she was sharing from her perspective and she said that no one knew she was dating Drake and she didn’t know Melissa was dating Drake and she just sho happened to be getting ready for a date when she came over to gush. Maybe she wasn’t aware of that detail previously ok whatever but I don’t think tocarra was trying to downplay her or throw salt on her
@@janeli4616 I think she should direct that smoke to Carlos bc he brought it up being messy. And tocarra acknowledged that they had already talked about that on Melissa’s podcast. Furthermore, I feel like tocarra looked very uncomfortable when Melissa brought it up on her podcast so I don’t think anything is different from then
I love that she talks about perimenopause. You are definitely not immune to that monster as a woman
Love Melyssa! Not for her face but her brain, wisdom gained. I don’t think the JBP does her justice. Appreciate what women like her had to go through and to come out strong ❤
What does her being “Melyssa Ford” have to do with anything Toccara said? Lol Toccara is similarly that girl, and her being Melyssa Ford didn’t keep Drake from cheating on her 😭
To have all of this energy for Toccara (who did not have this energy for her) is probably where the “not a girl’s girl” comes from. I’m sure it happens often, but not every woman is jealous of her.
She still think it’s the 90s lol
She still thinks it is 90’s early 2000. At that time lighter complexed women were told they were the only people that are beautiful.
I thought Melyssa Ford was a beautiful transgender back in the day but I was so happy to know she was actually a female
@@rufinacaldwell3024 oh wow!!! I never thought about that before.
It be the “girls girls” that’s the first to try to tear a woman down . Like please your point is now moot .
When Carlos got under the Table 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 YESSS MELYSSAAAA TALK YA ISHHHH SIS 🔥
Thank you Melyssa I needed this. I will be tuning into your podcast
Such an intelligent, eloquent, well-spoken person. She fascinates me. I just love her!
I am glad she brought off perimenopause. There is so much shame around perimenopause and menopause.
I don't understand what the shame is. It is a part of life.
I do understand it's not talked about enough. I thought something was seriously wrong with me, but I going through perimenopause. It's rough. I wish more women would speak about it. I learn from watching doctors on UA-cam and doing my research.
Thankfully Gen X women are having the open convo about it and actively looking for solutions. We don’t have to suffer ,like our mothers and grandmothers did.
Never heard that. There is nothing to be ashamed of. It's a part of life and without the Women's reproductive cycle, no one can be born. Everyone should respect the entire life cycle and support their loved ones through it.
Love Mel’s presence on JBP, but whoever does her hair and makeup hates her. Gorgeous woman who is wasting it on poor styling.
She does it herself 😂 she’s trying
I was just thinking she must do her own hair and makeup. Natural beauty but eyebrows are drawn too thick and lip too shiny.
The eyeshadow and lipstick ages her so badly. She’s a beauty who doesn’t need much.
I think it’s because she tries to change her image but I’m like just live in it
She's looks beautiful!
This lady, not once thank God publicly for saving her life. She mentioned him in a conversation, but not once thank him. I heard Carlos king thank God for his father being alive.
She doesn’t believe in God she said she’s agnostic smh She’s a lost soul
Her & Moniece speaking voice sounds the same.
Identical
Ah ...... you're so right.
No not at all. Monience higher pitch with more cracks in her voice
@@purpleyellow9617 84 to 1
Yes they do
I swear to God I i am 38 the perimenopause must be hitting me becasue i can't think or speak and left school this week and Melyssa just BLESSED me with this podcast, as a fellow podcaster I am subscribing now.
Babyyyyyyyy, Melyssa was and still IS that girl / woman!! I remember her being in the BEST music videos during my high school / college years!
Fantastic interview, Carlos!
So far my favorite episodes of your podcast love the realness ♥️🔥
As someone who loves pop culture, I absolutely adore this kind of interview
Ok I’m here for this interview I’m excited
Your are ALWAYS on point with your interviews! EXCELLENT JOB Carlos King 🎉
I have always liked how Melyssa Ford has carried herself! Carlos said it best she is truly the face of music videos in the 2000’s. It’s refreshing to hear her take on things surfacing about the entertainment industry.
Another great interview Carlos! 💞✨
Awesome interview! She was so on point about grieving and perimenopause. I loss my mom 6 months ago and everything she said is spot on of what I'm dealing with now.
My Girl!! Liked before I even started the episode lol
I am studying for the GRE atm. I will be back to this video and watching more of her interviews to understand what “interloper” (or whatever she said) and all the other words that only her and TI use. Keep using your platform to teach us. Thanks Ms. Ford.
Ive always liked Melyssa! She is smart, articulate, professional, full of integrity, has a great personality, has great work ethic, self respect, self esteem and didn't sleep her way to the top. She's ALWAYS pushed education. Nothing but respect to this woman. In a world where all these hip hop women and wannabe ig models wanna look the same, talk the same, dress the same and talk ebonics, slave talk or stick talk, dont value having a vocabulary and dont even remotely try to spell and be grammatically correct, I appreciate where this woman has took the culture. She made intelligence look sexy.
Love people/women being so positive in the comments. It’s cathartic ❤
The JBP comments are crazy toxic re her :/
This woman's so intelligent ❤
Learned A LOT...
Great insight.
Great interview 🎉
This was a good interview❤ Chileee I feel Melyssa on the perimenopause Im so glad I am experiencing mines at 40. Yes you have to change your diet, exercise, bad habits etc.
40 is early
I love her (and always have)!! She is well spoken, beautiful and carries herself so well!! 🖤🌟
That's Ms. M Ford!! Loved the interview. I was happy she was added to JBP. I want the male cast members to stop interrupting and dog piling her when she's speaking. So happy for this new podcast Hot & Bothered (btw glad the name changed) bc she's speaking to me and hoping it'll be informative and interesting ❤
Rest easy mummy❤you did your best
She is beautiful, articulate, confident and self aware! Carlos is a top tier interviewer! He actually knows n reads up on the Guest which makes it engaging and authentic! 🎉🎉
Mel, if you're reading LEAVE THAT PODCAST! They don't value you, your intelligence and strength. They're weirdos (well, 90%) of them. Imani and Parks are OK with me.
She's swimming with the sharks where she wants to be. Relevance ❤
@@brandiclyburn8014facts. The JBP rejuvenated her career and she knows that
Jealous obsessed weirdos at that. You'd think they have NO Woman at home.
I really enjoyed this interview 💯. Thank you both.
Great discussion. Big Mel 🔥🔥🔥🔥 Nothing like a well-spoken beautiful woman!!! Can't wait to tune in to Hot & Bothered w/Melyssa Ford!!!!! Pay the haters dust. Big M4 holds her own day in and day out in a room full of capable, strong men, not easy!!!❤❤❤🎉
The good ole days. Very lit. We really danced at parties.
I love Melyssa bc she always been so real and authentic..she always stood in her truth Unapologetically
This was such a wonderful interview, I just subbed, so glad to see great content. Good job Carlos!
This interview was soooooooo good! Would love to be on M. Ford's podcast just to be apart of the convo! So happy she's starting this. It's a category and topic that is ignored!
"Be clear who I was in 2009, I'm Melyssa fkn Ford"!!!! - enough said!!!! Melyssa's beauty is unmatched Im sorry, theres no woman in the industry that can come close.
Melissa is definitely a liar. She has said on the JBP that she was sexually abused while in the industry now on here she’s saying she’s never been forced. Which is it? She’s mad at Tocarra for saying the exact same thing she said about Drake. Lastly, Mel has admitted and been known to pursue other women’s men. So all the jealousy talk is wild.
I'm with you, she's lying
Also on the reality tv show she was picking on Geneva. Geneva told her plenty of times to leave her alone and Mel didn’t. Geneva picked up the first thing she saw.
While I’m not saying she didn’t change her story… I want to point out that sexual abuse covers a variety of acts. Sexual assault can be groping… which is abuse.
Sounds like you may be one of the jealous few
The story she told him about being onset and all the guys touching her and being escorted out of the room onto the set by the guy that came in is the story she’s told on the show before. She’s never said that she was sexually assaulted. She has said that she’s been in precarious situations. I’m pretty sure that’s a quote. I don’t see how she’s lying.
When Mel💪🏾👑 speaks, I listen; she tells the best stories! In addition, she is beautiful, intelligent and articulate. 🤲🏽❤️👏🏽🔥
The worst grief is losing a child before a parent. Year 10….
Sorry for your enormous loss 😢❤️ As a mother that's the worst possible scenario but people don't get it unless they have kids who are their world.
I agree, losing a parent is nothing in comparison because that's the natural order of things, they're supposed to go before you. Not to make light of anyone's grief (lost both parents) but losing a child is the worst pain...not a parent. Soooo sorry you had to feel that kind of loss. ❤
Moringa tea and being weight conscious may help you. Moringa tea and seeds are all natural and packed with vitamins such as zinc and potassium and iron .
Next week makes year 10 for me. I definitely understand 🩷
As a person who has lost both parents with no children, they’re saying that’s the worst pain to experience because neither of them have children. So no disrespect to people who have lost children the closest love we’d receive would be from a mother 😢
My thing with Melyssa is that she always try to act like she was SOOOO above the crazy shit or she was the perfect angelic video vixen when in reality she was doing some of the same shit the other girls were doing just more lowkey about it. Girl they passed you around also stop it
💯
Even Cameron exposed her
THANK YOU!
@@BD_1437what did he say
I would hope she wouldn’t lie. But, then again you never know.
Came here to support Mel💕
Loved this interview, she is wise and extremely admirable!
omg her accident story made me tear up, i’m so happy she was able to survive that! i hope she got a nice check from that truck who hit her, absolutely ridiculous how they drive !
Loved this interview ❤
Melyssa cant keep saying it was 15 years ago when she brought it up 4 years ago and was on drink champs talking about it AGAIN 2 years ago. Drake was 22 she was 32. We’ve never heard Drake address her
Right! I’m like I heard it from her first and on several different platforms.
I think its her attempt to stay relevant. She is tlking about the 90s and early 2000s which were literlly 2+ decades ago now. I feel for her honestly because I wonder if she would have settled down with a partner nd kids if she had not been a video vixen. Nothing is wrong with the creer she chose.It has allowed her to remin in the public eye in some capcity. However, as with career based on your physical appearance, you will eventually age out. There will be always new, younger, prettier womn waiting for you to getv up so they can sit down. I just think its easier for people when they have other priorities in life such as family, kids to walk away from the bright lights and not look back. But with her having none of those things (and I'm not saying she is not whole), i would think that her priorities remain around trying to stay relevant in the entertainment industry.
When Cassie left the craziness of that life, she was married and had 2 children within 3 years of getting out of that lifestyle.
Did she bring it up or was she ASKED?
Cuz to Drake, Melyssa Ford was irrelevant to him
Honestly that's the impression I got from Tocarra and why she went to ask Drake directly. I think Melyssa may have a history of putting 20 on 10 and claiming ppl early. Remember Carlos said they were all friends early in their careers they know each other's tea. Why else would a friend think let me go and check with this man first. Sounds like Melyssa may have a history of stretching scenarios, but who knows.
I'm so sorry Melissa went through that accident. I really hope she doing well. Gos bless her.
I would love to hear Buffie the Body’s experience of Melyssa.
Same here, she couldn't stand those girls, and it showed..
@@nicoleh.6352 yes, I cannot even look at the magazine cover with Reagan, Mýa, Melyssa, and Buffie because you can tell in everybody’s eyes that something ridiculous went down at that shoot.
@@chiboyshades7817Melyssa actually apologized to Buffy.
@@SparkleInYourEyes2024 awesome. Have you heard from Buffie??
Buffie has been interviewed saying Mel was so mean to hear for no reason. Mel basically stomped and kicked because Buffie was at the same photoshoot as her.
And the lady hit her with the bottle because Mel was antagonizing her 😅🤦🏽♀️
