DMX's Cry for Help - #SupportDMX

 

by TayLang - @mstaylang

Earl Simmons…aka DMX platinum selling, multimillion dollar making hip hop artist of the 90’s was just featured on Iyanla Vanzant’s Fix My Life which aired on OWN network Saturday April 13, 2013. His story was so remarkable and if you haven’t seen it I challenge you all to watch it and not be judgmental as you watch.

DMX’s drug addiction was put on display; however there is clearly a deeper hurt that has consumed him. Childhood hurts have affected him mentally and have not allowed him to forgive and forget the actions that started with his own mother. As a child DMX was sent to a group home at the age of seven. During the interview his emotions are at an all-time high when trying to tell the story. He relates his issues with his mother “not wanting him” to the way he expressed his love with his girlfriend who is now his estranged wife. When he fell in love with his wife he was so afraid that she would leave him; just like his mother. His feelings of rejection never allowed him to fully have a successful relationship.

Kisha's Love & Hip Hop Recap

#RatchetRealityTV

Joe- I saw side of this man I've never seen before. I saw a very vulnerable man. I was impressed that he had kicked his addiction for 14 years but to relapse wasn't a good look but I admired him taking responsibility, well partial because he should have been able to explain that to Raqi. I see that he wants Tahiry back but it's going to take more than a few chit chats. He put her through a lot and he's going to have to prove himself but AFTER he breaks up with his very young and inexperienced girlfriend Kaylin. O_o

Raqi- I think she's in love with Joe and you could tell in her eyes she was VERY hurt by the way he was talking to her but unbeknownst to her at that time he was under the influence of drugs. She needs to focus on herself and stop trying to be Joe's everything especially when he will ultimately break her heart and end up with Tahiry or someone...anyone but her.

Winter-She's best know for being Fab's assistant but now she's on the scene with a scandalous tell all book about her experience in the industry. Who she has been with as well as who others have been with. Hmm ...Sex does sell but more so when it's mixed with a Lil scandal. Get em girl ;-)

Consequence- I don't know who this Mr. Ed ghostwriter is but couldn't his dentist fitted him with a decent pair of teeth that weren't so big? I found it hard to concentrate on what he was saying because all I kept looking at was his choppers. I think his are bigger than Steve Harvey's. #YeahISaidIt

Jen- Consequence's girlfriend and son's mother. She was an entertainment blogger but left the scene for motherhood. She LOVES her man no doubt but Consequence seems to enjoy that she needs him. She gave up her independence and its a choice she soon regrets each time her and her boo argue.

Rich- Is a flirt point blank period! He cares about Erica but he has a wondering eye and if she's secure and won't easily trip they should be fine.

Erica- I don't know who this chick THINKS she is but clearly someone needs to bring her back down to earth. She's acting like she's has the clout of Beyonce/Naomi Campbell but is more on the level of Lil Mama. #YeahISaidItAgain. She should just enjoy the ride of being Rich's boo and enjoy those manis/pedis.

Lore'l- Who? What? Why? Good luck boo!

Kisha's Monday Reality TV Recap

BBWLA
Jackie is preparing for fashion week and she's on cloud nine but its short lived because she's obsessed over Laura when she knows damn well she doesn't like her.

Brooke got the King cover but Draya is being a little bit of a hater when there's no need. The editor was unprofessional by discussing Draya without her being there to defend herself but other than that Draya needs to get over it and be a friend all the way or not at all.

Laura is on some meds cause she's actually being nice...

Bambi is not a rapper but we all can dream right?!?!

Gloria.....blah blah blah

Malaysia...(Insert yawn here)


TI & Tiny
Shikana is a HOT mess and very disrespectful. She's Tiny's hair dresser but she is jealous of Tiny or so it seems. I enjoy this show but the highlight is TI with his parenting and the Major's unexpected comic relief.


Marrying The Game
I'm trying y'all but this is a hard show for me. Game means well but it's just unfair to Tiffany has to do it all.

Shopping Addiction
It's always to tune in each week to watch but tonight I'm just like wow are these people that damn self absorbed that they don't see how their shopping is ruining their lives?!?!?! It's just sad! #EndOfStory

Kisha's Reality TV Recap

BBWLA
These Cali chicks are just full of drama. First off Draya invites all the ladies to a all white party and everyone has on white EXCEPT Jackie. Of course Laura uses every opportunity she has to get at Jackie. This mean girl act is getting tired and its childish. Draya hatin on Brooke cause she got the King Magazine cover was lame but that's what females do...bicker!

TI & Tiny
Major prepares for preschool as Tiny wants to play matchmaker with TI's sister, Precious. Which was a disaster but I'm glad they clarified who she was cause all this time I thought that was TI's mama! O_o

Marrying The Game
This was the series premiere about rapper Game and his long time girlfriend, Tiffany as they prepare for their upcoming wedding but she says she hangs with Shaunie and Evelyn, she better be careful cause y'all know how those heffas roll and she won't ever make it down the aisle. Lol! Right now I'm not feeling this show because it seems scripted but I will watch a few more episodes to see if anything changes.


My Shopping Addiction
Natela- She is a label whore from Russia who will and HAS spent her rent money on whatever her heart desires. Her boyfriend James knows she has a problem so she hides it from him.

Judyanne- She is a compulsive shopper and has secret stash for her purchases and money for shopping. She's late on rent and everything else and is constantly owing everyone money because her addiction is that much out of control.

Addiction of any kind is serious and is always accompanied by denial. Neither of these women think they have a problem. Which makes helping them hard because they are viewing everyone against their shopping as a kill joy. I felt sorry for both ladies but I'm hopeful for them because addiction needs more than a hour.

Kisha's My Shopping Addiction Recap

I know addiction is serious but did people really have a problem with shopping too much?!?! Was there a such thing?!?!

This new series examines addiction and those affected with professional help but like with any help, it's only effective if the addicted is open for help AND change.

The show introduces us to Roshanda a DJ from California who blows her weekly paycheck on shopping at the dollar store.

Yes, you read correct the dollar store. There ain't that much dish detergent and toilet tissue in the world for me to be in debt.

RoRo was so out of touch with the real world because she only lived to feed her addiction. It DIDN'T matter that her and her mother weren't speaking or if she lost friends behind her borrowing money she never had no intent of paying back.

I watched in disbelief that she was really ready to change but after getting the reality check she so desperately needed, RoRo was headed down the correct road of recovery and upon the show ending she had began to repair the damaged relationships and was paying her debts.

The other shopaholic was Heather a unemployed female living off of an inheritance in Nevada.

It wasn't every discussed how much she actually inherited but her outrageous spending habits afforded her to spend $30,000+ a month on whatever her little heart desired.

She was a compulsive shopper and lived in the bubble of that she could have anything she wanted. As result of that reckless lifestyle she lost friends and even family due to the inheritance from her grandmother. Mo money was indeed mo problems for this chick.

She reminded me of a spoiled brat and up until she was instructed to donate clothes to Dress for Success ( an organization that gives displaced homemakers clothes to re enter the workforce.) that was the only unselfish thing she did the entire show.

Ultimately at the end of show it was clear Heather wasn't going to stop her spending habits because she was so far in denial that it was going to take more than a hour.

Overall, this was interesting to watch and of course I will be tuning in because reality TV is my guilty pleasure.

Smooches
