I have ALWAYS been a fan of Iyanla Vanzant so me tuning in for her series premiere on Oprah's OWN network was a no brainer because I knew she was going to keep it 100 and she would be expecting the same for her guest.
The series opens with her interviewing reality star, Evelyn Lozada and this would be a two part series where Iyanla spoke with Evelyn four weeks after her wedding to Chad Johnson and two weeks after the infamous head butt incident.
I can't lie I was really skeptical about this because I felt it was a publicity stunt BUT after watching the first part I felt otherwise.
Iyanla made Evelyn take responsibility for her inappropriate behavior towards her cast mates that was explained to her why she was a lose cannon and furthermore how she never stood a chance in having a healthy marriage.
Iyanla attempted to break Evelyn down to make her take FULL responsibility for all of her actions. I will say Evelyn was half way there but she was still holding back even AFTER revealing she's still harboring the anger and rejection resulting in her estranged relationship with her father.
Personally if she would have came in a tee shirt and sweats I would have truly been able to sympathize with her but she came looking like a million bucks and to all the battered woman in the world that was a bit insulting.
The million dollar question was why now after finding out Chad had been allegedly cheating and had been abusive in the past that enough was enough and the only answer Evelyn could give was that now there was a scar it almost seem like her ego/pride was hurt more than her forehead.
Ultimately, this interview is a step in the right direction but the only way to be cured in Evelyn's case is to confront her inner demons and accept responsibility FULLY or this will be a pattern to be repeated because she's made a pattern of being able to be brought; a lifestyle that she almost signed a deal with the devil to keep. I wish Evelyn well and hopes she continues her therapy to finally obtain self love and peace of mind.
