I have been through 2 controlling relationships just like Andrea. One was married and one was not a marriage. I left both with the clothes on my back. You can start over and have a PEACE of mind. Please ladies know your worth
EmmaRhonda Wilson SHIT... Dem girls ain't listening to you they want to leave with more than just the clothes on their back you ain't learned and you had two relationships sound like you are a slow learner but I hope your next relationship you be able to leave with at least a backpack.....😂
EmmaRhonda Wilson OH WOW! I see you have a special needs troll in your comment section! Smh! Never mind them, it takes a very miserable person to make such a comment. Any who, it takes a very brave soul to get out, I wish u nothing but peace and healing❣
EmmaRhonda Wilson Yes,ignore the ignorance please...just you simply getting on here and speaking out about your experience with 2 cowards shows your strength and courage....I'm also a "Survivor" of domestic violence and my fiancee always says that I should start a group or something against Domestic violence,just an outlet,an support system of sisters....but I SALUTE YOU SISTER....AND DON'T LET ANYONE EVER TELL YOU THAT IT WAS YOUR FAULT OR TRY TO SILENCE YOU💯
Omg!! My tears are unstoppable!! This spoke to me loud and clear. I was held against a door and almost strangled by an ex boyfriend. I thank God that I didn't have a child for him (we were trying), but God said "No this is not my plan for you". I got out, it's not easy!! that was my one and only experience of domestic violence. I'm so glad she got out!! Because a lot of women did not and they're not here to share their story. Thank you sister circle for posting and I pray that her story will help other women.
People keep saying this happened long ago, they were married years ago, why isn't she over it etc. Trauma is real. If people could just get over things there would be no PTSD, no people shooting up buildings, no people committing suicide because of what other people have said or done. So be realistic, everyone hurts and heals differently. Surviving something traumatic and time passing does not make it go away. Even when you think you are over things a song, a smell, witnessing someone go through a similar can bring it all back.
@@sistercircletv5164 , I did agree. She is making videos on her FB page praising him and his music. She is conflicting to me. I can't support her. I don't understand her story. I just don't get her. Back and forth. Back and forth. Major abuse she suffered at his hand and she still praise him. SMH
Exactly, plus its hard to heal when she and her kids are constantly being ridiculed by media and ignorant people who think they know everything about her life.
@@Ms.BCarter I agree with you, like which one is it Drea? She praises him then she turns around and cries and calls him a monster. 🤔 watch this video. ua-cam.com/video/MBozgMc6auI/v-deo.html
I've tried to make it work with a man who was emotionally and mentally manipulative and abusive. There is no way in hell I will go back. This is proof why we have to teach our children how to have a backbone and be strong to say no to bastards like an R. Kelly or the fool I was with...
Is this the same person who married him although she knew about Aaliyah ? What does the light look like for her during the same hour of day ? Or only men get dark hours in y’all head women don’t hit men or fight men huh ? It’s always just the man unless it’s your son then it takes two to tangle but if it’s a man you fall out of favor for then it’s all his fault and he deserves to go to jail not see his kids and still pay child support ? I hope your loved ones get the same treatment so that you can see first hand how y’all sound
@Lula Delphine Young She's a good actress btw but what part of the abuse did she play that made her partly responsible? I don't know why she stayed so long n all children are flexible n bounce back fairly quickly. I was in a very dangerous, scared for my life every day type with my high school sweetie turned husband thru out my last 2yrs of high school but the beatings became to be too much so I left after 1st of marriage, me n my children was way better off without him. We all survived then I got sucked back in but only for 6 more months n after that it was a wrap
@@jandt3463 only for 6 months then I got the heck away from him n promised myself I was not going to put myself in another situation like that...ever again, I found my voice n worth after then.
I was verbally, mentally and physically abused by my ex. The very 1st time when he put his hands on me (he thought I cheated on him but I did NOT! Never, ever) was on my 21st birthday. I had black and blue eyes for two weeks. I thought it was just because he was drunk so I forgave him. After few months I got pregnant by him, when I told him he didn't really care he said I could do whatever I wanna do. I chose to have abortion because even though I was in love with him I started to see his true color and I thought to myself I don't wanna have a baby by him. After I went home he touched between my legs and he felt the pad that I had in case of bleeding. He said I killed his boy!! I was like you didn't even care I was pregnant!! We broke up, but unfortunately I was stupid enough to meet him again like after a month and got pregnant again. I knew it was meant to be, so that time I did not hesitate at all, obviously I kept the baby. 1st he was very happy about it and said it has to be a boy. When I was around 12-13 wks pregnant he left me because he realized he's not ready for this. I was like okay, I do what I gotta do. (I'm from Europe, lived in the States that time and had no family there at all but few 'friends') I worked but couldn't afford to live on my own so I had roommies but I had to move 3 times while I was pregnant because nobody wanted to live with me once I'd have my baby. Eventually I found a house where they accepted me and the fact soon I'd have a baby. When it was time to have my SON I went to the hospital alone, I was so scared, 1st time having a baby in a different country all alone (my mom was going to visit me and help but 2 wks later because my water broke unexpectly) So I managed to call my mom and she flew to me 4 days later. I was in the hospital and they kept the baby inside because it was too early to have him. After I had my baby and he was home with me, my ex called and yes he heard the baby crying in the back ground so he knew I had him. I told him where I moved so came to see him. He was very happy especially because it was a boy. Yes, I gave him another chance so we tried to be together again. When my son was around 3 mos old his father got locked up for fighting. (wasn't the 1st time) he called me from jail but when i asked him what happened he said it's not my business. Shortly the call got disconnected and that was the last time I heard from him..... 2,5 yrs later he got out and came back to me. He told me why he got locked up etc. (he stabbed his own brother) we decided that we try it again but there was one big problem (for him) Since he was away when i needed him when I was pregnant (because he wasn't ready to be a father and chose to be messing with girls) when I had my baby I gave him my last name and father was not mentioned on his birth certificate (best choice of my life!!!)So of course my son's father wanted me to chance his last name to his but I was like I need time for that!! You're in and out of his life I need something stable and would'nt change his name just because you're back now (plus he already wanted to claim him from his taxes) So this was always a big issue between us and we had so much more arguements about everything Eventually after few mos he was out of jail he told me this was the last time he'd say this and i need to change the boy's last name. When I told him no, I needed more time, he grabbed my neck, smashed me in the wall and he said he'd kill me if I don't stop screaming. (my son was right there he saw everything and he remembers everything even though he was 3 yrs old at the time) This was the moment I realized I had to leave. He did so many things before (choking me, calling me names, disrespecting me but I did not mention all this, otherwise I could be typing all day) He hit me 3 yrs before that, and he was controlling, abusing many ways. I had enough. Packed some stuff, grabbed my son and moved back to Europe. It's been 11 yrs now. I haven't been in a relationship since. My son is 14 today, it's only me and him and our dog. I'm doing fine but cannot trust no man even though I tried, I always met the wrong ones. I gave up on relationships, I don't care any more. I want to feel free. Maybe my story is not as scary as this one but it was very hard emotionally and mentally. but as I said I didn't give all the details so there were so much more I dealt with. I hate domestic violence. These people are not people in my eyes!
bkliin Thank you for sharing your testimony. I went through it for years as well. So proud of you for leaving the abuse. I know it's been 11 years but I am hoping God opens your heart to love again. Don't let your abuser win. He took alot from you. Don't let him take your will to love. God bless you (writing from my husband's account. Had login problems with mine)
Drea may God continue to bless you and your children. I've been in a abusive relationship and I thank God for helping me to realize my worth and getting me out of it..... Be strong Drea
Yes he his now days people dont respect marriage like they should that a strong union and we do that in the name of God that's not a joke so if you are not ready for marriage dont and every one gotta crarry their own load
@@feliciaweathers7122 Amen! Man is supposed to love n care for his wife like Christ loves, cares n died for us! Marriage is not supposed to be taken likely, it's not a joke.
Unless you lived it you can’t even comment period 💯👏🏿🎯🙏🏿👑 cause if you weren’t there you’ll never truly understand the situation. It takes real courage and strength to stand up to a man like that. 💪🏿💪🏿
Lol how many Tv interviews has she went on...of course its not going to change its repetitive. TALKING ABOUT WHAT ANGLE IS THE CAMERA YALL CRAZY SHE WANTS PUBLICITY..
This woman is scorn she’s mental she using her god as a shield her god shown her a grandfather beating her grandmother then introduced her to r Kelly and had her marry him after showing her Aaliyah ? Tell me what church she goes to so I don’t walk in it this woman cries and cries and cries what charges does she want to put on r Kelly ? How many of those 17 questions did you do to r Kelly ? By the way her truth is there’s only 15 questions on that list she mentions so no she hasn’t been completely accurate with that story either
I believe this completely. This girl walked away with nothing. I’m glad she came out with her story. I had a feeling she was being silenced all of alone.
She received 40 million dollars and 10,000 a month in child support. I am so lost sometimes with her. If he had all these other “girls” she could have left any time. But in the beginning she said she was strong and she no her self worth and he would never take advantage of her because she was from the southside of Chicago
This just don't happened to woman, I've been abused since I was a child and it boiled over into two relationships and the last one was the most painful relationship I've ever been in... It took me six years years for me to get rid of him out of my life and it took eight years for me to finally grieve and finally let go of that baggage
This is powerful!! I first watched her on Hollywood Ex's and was empressed how she carried herself then and now!! The Grammy comments reminded me of the color purple when Celie stood up to Mister, really powerful!!
Thank God for allowing her to use her voice. I am so sorry she had to endure domestic voilence from R Kelly. Her testimony will help others, My youngest sister was murder by her abuser, in front of her two children. I adopted her children. She had a 3 year old son and a 2 month old daughter.Her son witness his dad murder his mom. He dealt with a lot of mental health issues after his mothers death. He's behaviors were so bad he had to be placed on medication in order for him to go to school. I prayed for my child every night. As he was getting older, his behaviors increased. I could not sleep or work full time. I was a widow raising six children. I later got enrolled in college. My second year of college, while I was in class. I got a call from my second oldest dauhter crying saying. (Mommy I think Jayden is dead.) I instantly dropped to the ground. My son/nephew died from an accidentl suicide at the age of seven years old. My sister is not living to share her story, but I am. I pray people will listen to these stories and save their lives as well as their childrens lives.
to the people who are saying she looking for 5 minutes ummmm how most didnt even know he was married to her if she wanted all this fame she woulda been known when his big hits were made .she loved r kelly and saw the good in him
She stayed in that marriage long enough to have 3 kids..knowing the allegations prior to their marriage. . then sang and danced and defended him years later on tv... All while keeping his last name. I'm sorry but she isn't being 100%
@@Ash2beauty and you shouldn't make assumptions...I never said the allegations held no credibility, clearly he was a pedophile prior to her saying yes to marriage. Her greed superseded her morals and common sense.
S. G her greed superseded but she is the one who left him. Maybe her desire to make her marriage work like many of us woman dream, superseded her morals. And her last name has nothing to do with anything my husband abused me for 6 years and I still have his left name for reasons that have nothing to do with him. Don’t b so judgemental when u r on the outside looking in only God knows her motives but he is a monster.
S. G it wasn’t greed it was fear she wasn’t just afraid of him she was afraid of starting over she was afraid of not being able to do for her children the way he had done she was afraid she’d leave only to return because of her children the money wasn’t doing anything for her when she was locked up most of the time she had no use for money fear is what held her there and in the end fear is what made her leave
I just saw Drea's video on her site officialdreakelly where she really tells her story. Every young girl--and may be some old girls, needs to see this and learn how you can get caught up in relationships and not realize it. Drea tells a real story. The girl has her ministry outlined. Please share to yourself or to someone who MAY be going through domestic violence right now and needs a message on how to get OUT. There should be no judgement but salvation right now.
Yep! I was sexually abused as a child, and physically and emotionally, verbally abused as a child, through to teenage years, and then I met a man that I eventually married, that was also, verbally, emotionally and physically abusive towards me, and my children. 13, years I was with that man, altogether, (married for 6, years). Then he, decided that he wanted a divorce (because he was cheating on me with other women, before and when we were married). So, when he said that. I told him to go for it, (cause to me that was my escape to freedom). So, I am now very proud to say that I'm happily divorced for 4, years now. That was the best decision that my ex husband had ever made and done.
Thank God people are standing up this man belongs in jail but u know what what she said touched my heart “u think your in Hell now?!” Right he will have his day
when I tell yall what she said hit home! God doesn't play when a man treats his wife wrong! Even though I wasn't married to my ex but He reminds me of R Kelly I stood behind him and tried my very best to support love and nurture him! he told me hoes are fun and entertaining. I love this man sooo much just why would he hurt me and put me through tournament.
My heart goes out to any body that has suffered like she has to those that don't believe this woman has no reason to lye so stop trying to overlook what this man has done
You can see she a bully... first off she went with him knowing what he had been charged with. She wanted the fame and fortune. She also seem angry person. You attract what you went through. Simple as that till you stop the cycle. PS , not saying R . Kelly is innocent, but boys being sexually abused by older females is way under reported....
That’s not love. That was seasonal. People lie when it comes to that. When they don’t want to be alone and stick for the wrong people. She is lucky and I’m glad she got out and find her true love for herself. And I hope she find the right one. That’s meant for her.
As a woman you are a mother don't want to see your children crying and begging him to stop I lived this life though my mother sad but I told myself I well not let
For those who continue to ignore the effects that sexual abuse has on people, just remember that R Kelly was sexual abused as a little boy. Look at who he became. Take the voice of survivors seriously.
She needs money people wake up. She's on every damn talk show smiling hard for someone who has went through what she says she been through. The exes show flopped and here we go. And no this is not sticking up for R kelly, this is why over twenty years later your mouth is on full blast.
But how is it possible that after Andrea had almost killed herself because of R Kelly somebody was able to record that video years later showing her jamming and singing along to R Kellys "Happy people"? I dont get it! Why is nobody asking her about that?
How bout someone ask her why she married an accused Pedophile ? Stayed 13 years with that man and had three babies although she knew about Aaliyah somebody ask her the important questions because all this air time she’s getting none of them have anything to do with facing charges
Her Energy is SO Off. Anyone seen her live video post after she did the view? A bit fake if you ask me. I believe her story but something is not adding up.
Kat B Me too but I stepped as soon as I saw the warning signs... I now listen to my gut instincts.... It's sad as the majority of men I have been on dates with show signs of being a mental or physical abuser... They always start off by being extremely charming but I see straight through that... I go with vibes and if I'm not feeling comfortable I end it there. Our gut instincts which is also our sending of someone else's vibes never lies.
terry diomande exactly and get out earlier than later. I have an old coworker suffering now because she loves an abuser. He just made her lose her 110k job. Wrecked her car. Made her lose her place. She still has feelings for him. She should slap herself
In this interview you can see how women are groomed into the addiction of violent relationships from childhood onwards and get mentally addicted to it. It's the fear and the addiction (to the adrenaline rollercoaster of making up and abuse), the gaslighted brain that makes them stay so long. And even throw well-meaning people under the bus who try to help them. Only when you get real about being addicted to the point that can get you killed (either by murder or suicide) because your core is so destroyed there is help.
Hi edagdwg thanks for sharing this is sad because as a woman you are a very nice person but you are not going to let yourself be taken advantage of God bless you 🙏 changes everything linda j ☮️❤️ ❤️💯 💯💯 💯
You don't forget this was a real life happening until you been there before don't judge this man was the only one that fed them this is why I say if you love yourself be yourself get a job and take care of yourself don't use your body for food a mother and respect yourself 🙏 changes everything linda j ☮️❤️ ❤️💯 💯
I want a real man to love. and we can make it happen faith is a real tool use it I worked for 30 years and God gave me a job and still talking care of me true love wins linda j ☮️❤️ ❤️💯 💯

Watch Hollywood exs she said kellz was her best friend. Only reason she left him because she was tired of being hidden
i always thought it was weird that he never showed his wife and kids, i was surprised when i found out he had a family
I didnt find out until Hollywood exes
I’m just found out the 3 days ago.
was too, going to an awards show etc. praying for her and the kids,
I believe everything she says on the show. Thanks so much for being the voice of the voiceless in the world. God bless you.
You are so real with LIFE. I encourage you and believe in you. Bless you Andrea!
I believe this completely. This girl walked away with nothing. I’m glad she came out with her story. I had a feeling she was being silenced all of alone.
She was silly to have left without nothing.
She received 40 million dollars and 10,000 a month in child support. I am so lost sometimes with her. If he had all these other “girls” she could have left any time. But in the beginning she said she was strong and she no her self worth and he would never take advantage of her because she was from the southside of Chicago
Shes not being 100%. You been married for 11 years and u still kept his last name! Real victims seek justice. Case close
She did seek justice and he is rotting! I hope you revisit this comment in disgust! You’re a horrible person
Always one in the comment section VS
I'm so proud of you telling your story.
Drea what u said spoke to me! What u said about the lord and how u treat ur wife!!! Girl I felt that to my core!!!! #TeamJesus yasssss lord 🙌🏾🙌🏾
Smh do some research. God is real. Jesus isn't. Too many much technology to be believing a lie. Wake up sister. Seriously.
Justin Tyme nah Jesus is real. And we ain’t gonna stop believing in Him no matter what
This just don't happened to woman, I've been abused since I was a child and it boiled over into two relationships and the last one was the most painful relationship I've ever been in... It took me six years years for me to get rid of him out of my life and it took eight years for me to finally grieve and finally let go of that baggage
haywood butts. blessings to u.
God bless
I’m so glad she spoke up ! Amen sister ! I know this is hard to do and to speak about
OUUUU THE COMMENT ABOUT HIM NOT HAVING A GRAMMY BEFORE OR AFTER HER!!! GAVE ME LIFEEEEEE YASSSS!!
Did allll of that for the cameras, just to jump on youtube blasting his music, celebrating, and defending him. This broad is crazy foreal. lol
This is powerful!! I first watched her on Hollywood Ex's and was empressed how she carried herself then and now!! The Grammy comments reminded me of the color purple when Celie stood up to Mister, really powerful!!
God bless her
Thank God for allowing her to use her voice. I am so sorry she had to endure domestic voilence from R Kelly. Her testimony will help others, My youngest sister was murder by her abuser, in front of her two children. I adopted her children. She had a 3 year old son and a 2 month old daughter.Her son witness his dad murder his mom. He dealt with a lot of mental health issues after his mothers death. He's behaviors were so bad he had to be placed on medication in order for him to go to school. I prayed for my child every night. As he was getting older, his behaviors increased. I could not sleep or work full time. I was a widow raising six children. I later got enrolled in college. My second year of college, while I was in class. I got a call from my second oldest dauhter crying saying. (Mommy I think Jayden is dead.) I instantly dropped to the ground. My son/nephew died from an accidentl suicide at the age of seven years old. My sister is not living to share her story, but I am. I pray people will listen to these stories and save their lives as well as their childrens lives.
LA TheLyfe God bless you and your family
LA TheLyfe Sorry for your loss!💞💕💕
"He hasn't seen his darkest hour"..I believe ya Sis..
Angel Smile Amen
True definition of a real queen the way she speaks she will not be bought and no one can tell her story unless they tell the truth 💖💖😚👍🙏
to the people who are saying she looking for 5 minutes ummmm how most didnt even know he was married to her if she wanted all this fame she woulda been known when his big hits were made .she loved r kelly and saw the good in him
She is a strong sister Kelly will never find a woman like her again
unite to STOP /END violence against woman and children
Gooooooo ahead Drea!!! Speak on it!!! A fierce, intellectual, compassionate woman is a difficult pillar to come by
I LOVE this woman! I sadly relate to the life-long trauma of abuse.
Watching this after the documentary, oh my god I felt her pain😢
She stayed in that marriage long enough to have 3 kids..knowing the allegations prior to their marriage. . then sang and danced and defended him years later on tv... All while keeping his last name. I'm sorry but she isn't being 100%
S. G you’ve obviously never been abused. So all of these allegations that have been going on from years hold no credibility huh? Lord you ppl 🤦🏾♀️
@@Ash2beauty and you shouldn't make assumptions...I never said the allegations held no credibility, clearly he was a pedophile prior to her saying yes to marriage. Her greed superseded her morals and common sense.
S. G her greed superseded but she is the one who left him. Maybe her desire to make her marriage work like many of us woman dream, superseded her morals. And her last name has nothing to do with anything my husband abused me for 6 years and I still have his left name for reasons that have nothing to do with him. Don’t b so judgemental when u r on the outside looking in only God knows her motives but he is a monster.
S. G it wasn’t greed it was fear she wasn’t just afraid of him she was afraid of starting over she was afraid of not being able to do for her children the way he had done she was afraid she’d leave only to return because of her children the money wasn’t doing anything for her when she was locked up most of the time she had no use for money fear is what held her there and in the end fear is what made her leave
I agree with you
She’s keeping it very classy and she seems like a good mother. Wishing her the best.
God is so good!!!!!! I can relate to her.
I just saw Drea's video on her site officialdreakelly where she really tells her story. Every young girl--and may be some old girls, needs to see this and learn how you can get caught up in relationships and not realize it. Drea tells a real story. The girl has her ministry outlined. Please share to yourself or to someone who MAY be going through domestic violence right now and needs a message on how to get OUT. There should be no judgement but salvation right now.
"Tell the truth, shame the devil!"
She the only one I believe. She was with Kelly for love. Them others there for money.
Yep! I was sexually abused as a child, and physically and emotionally, verbally abused as a child, through to teenage years, and then I met a man that I eventually married, that was also, verbally, emotionally and physically abusive towards me, and my children. 13, years I was with that man, altogether, (married for 6, years). Then he, decided that he wanted a divorce (because he was cheating on me with other women, before and when we were married).
So, when he said that. I told him to go for it, (cause to me that was my escape to freedom).
So, I am now very proud to say that I'm happily divorced for 4, years now. That was the best decision that my ex husband had ever made and done.
Thank you for sharing dear. 😢
Thank God people are standing up this man belongs in jail but u know what what she said touched my heart “u think your in Hell now?!” Right he will have his day
when I tell yall what she said hit home! God doesn't play when a man treats his wife wrong! Even though I wasn't married to my ex but He reminds me of R Kelly I stood behind him and tried my very best to support love and nurture him! he told me hoes are fun and entertaining. I love this man sooo much just why would he hurt me and put me through tournament.
This sista is speaking!! My God you better cast down those demons and WALK AWAY!! Know who you are and WHOSE you are!
THANK YOU MRS ANDREA 💖
My heart goes out to any body that has suffered like she has to those that don't believe this woman has no reason to lye so stop trying to overlook what this man has done
You can see she a bully... first off she went with him knowing what he had been charged with. She wanted the fame and fortune. She also seem angry person. You attract what you went through. Simple as that till you stop the cycle.
PS , not saying R . Kelly is innocent, but boys being sexually abused by older females is way under reported....
That’s not love. That was seasonal. People lie when it comes to that. When they don’t want to be alone and stick for the wrong people. She is lucky and I’m glad she got out and find her true love for herself. And I hope she find the right one. That’s meant for her.
Be strong drea ....i feel 4 you ....
Her story never change tho ...
“I was teaching her how to be a liar” .. deep
9:18 Selena couldn't even look in the left cam she was so hurt. I really like Andrea Kelly.
As a woman you are a mother don't want to see your children crying and begging him to stop I lived this life though my mother sad but I told myself I well not let
What a great interviewer 🙏🏽🙌🏾
For those who continue to ignore the effects that sexual abuse has on people, just remember that R Kelly was sexual abused as a little boy. Look at who he became. Take the voice of survivors seriously.
COME ON WOMAN OF GOD❗️❗️❗️SPEAK❗️❗️❗️👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Amen women need help and support and to be trusted and loved. It is NOT okay!
loved this interview yall need better or louder mics though its hard to hear yall at times
PREACH SISTER PREACH NO GRAMMY BEFORE NOR AFTER
She speaking the truth !!!
Wow...powerful. Thank you Andrea for sharing your story.
So much truth!👏👏 airing the sheets in the sun kills dem germs in the bed. Air it out so your loved don't get sick
Beautiful lady God Saved Andrea 🤲🏼🙌🏻🙏🏼 The Interviewer is very pretty
We love and admire her very much. She is a great mother she protected her children from an insane father
Yassssssss Speak Andrea!!! The Bible says he that find a wife finds a good thing and will obtain favor from the Lord!! THE WIFE IS THE FAVOR
Absolutely
I LOVE YOU DREA. PREACH IT!!!!!!!!
Drea it’s 2019.. didn’t u remarry, if u left, why r u still crying... This shows me, she wanna finish his ass, but know, ur kids will suffer for this
She needs money people wake up. She's on every damn talk show smiling hard for someone who has went through what she says she been through. The exes show flopped and here we go. And no this is not sticking up for R kelly, this is why over twenty years later your mouth is on full blast.
PREACH!! #SPEAK #YOURTRUTH
She is a amazing woman !!
Thank you this is so exciting and yummy thanks for having big celebs like this big action thank you
I ❤ her!!!! Inspired!
Damn that was super sad I’m glad she got out!
But how is it possible that after Andrea had almost killed herself because of R Kelly somebody was able to record that video years later showing her jamming and singing along to R Kellys "Happy people"? I dont get it! Why is nobody asking her about that?
God knows all things🙏🙏🙏
Brave woman
I'm so mad they cancelled this show!! Iove the platform they gave to African Americans.
How bout someone ask her why she married an accused Pedophile ? Stayed 13 years with that man and had three babies although she knew about Aaliyah somebody ask her the important questions because all this air time she’s getting none of them have anything to do with facing charges
Yuppers.....
Her Energy is SO Off. Anyone seen her live video post after she did the view? A bit fake if you ask me. I believe her story but something is not adding up.
I despise controlling and manipulating, abusive men. I have had a few attempt to do it to me. Straight sickening
Kat B Me too but I stepped as soon as I saw the warning signs... I now listen to my gut instincts.... It's sad as the majority of men I have been on dates with show signs of being a mental or physical abuser... They always start off by being extremely charming but I see straight through that... I go with vibes and if I'm not feeling comfortable I end it there.
Our gut instincts which is also our sending of someone else's vibes never lies.
terry diomande exactly and get out earlier than later. I have an old coworker suffering now because she loves an abuser. He just made her lose her 110k job. Wrecked her car. Made her lose her place. She still has feelings for him. She should slap herself
God be praised she dnt kill herself...
Drea ❤❤❤❤❤
She looks like controlling she doesnt look like a woman who can easily been abused
She's just mad and angry. Divorce makes you bitter. And if she was the help meet made for him, why are they divorced. Divorce is not in the bible
You go right a head Lady!! Speak!
The Oscar goes to Drea kelly
Sad to hear but thanking the lord she is still hear to tell her story. Let no man deceive you. Demons can sing too. He wont get no play in my house.
😮😯😭😭😭😭😭😩☹️🙁🤧😿💢💦 I am so sad that when I was watching it I was crying so much
In this interview you can see how women are groomed into the addiction of violent relationships from childhood onwards and get mentally addicted to it.
It's the fear and the addiction (to the adrenaline rollercoaster of making up and abuse), the gaslighted brain that makes them stay so long. And even throw well-meaning people under the bus who try to help them.
Only when you get real about being addicted to the point that can get you killed (either by murder or suicide) because your core is so destroyed there is help.
Yes!
Her story is REAL wow lol. I had doubts but now I don't
Hi edagdwg thanks for sharing this is sad because as a woman you are a very nice person but you are not going to let yourself be taken advantage of God bless you 🙏 changes everything linda j ☮️❤️ ❤️💯 💯💯 💯
You don't forget this was a real life happening until you been there before don't judge this man was the only one that fed them this is why I say if you love yourself be yourself get a job and take care of yourself don't use your body for food a mother and respect yourself 🙏 changes everything linda j ☮️❤️ ❤️💯 💯
I want a real man to love. and we can make it happen faith is a real tool use it I worked for 30 years and God gave me a job and still talking care of me true love wins linda j ☮️❤️ ❤️💯 💯

I’m speechless
His 'problems' run Deep!
