Podcast Intro: A Humorous Reflection
00:00:00
Speaker
How is everyone doing out there? Hi, y'all. Isn't it funny that four years later, I don't know how to have an intro? Four years later, I'm always saying, what do I always say? Hello, everyone. Hello, everybody. Like, I don't have a theme song. I don't got nothing official. That's how you know that you're in the right place.
00:00:30
Speaker
We don't know what's going on four years later.
Love is Blind: Male Cast Opinions
00:00:35
Speaker
So I'm going to be going through all of the people I like to follow and hear their takes. I'm going to be going through watching their podcasts, listening to their podcasts before I weigh in on the love is blind reunion, which I will rewatch and dissect. But up top, and I hate to use such a strong word, but
00:01:01
Speaker
I feel it's appropriate. Up top, I feel that the men on this season's Love is Blind are worthless. And the only one who was not worthless out of the, the only two people who were not worthless out of the Love is Blind cast would be
00:01:23
Speaker
Garrett I didn't really watch that's why you heard me pause because I wanted to say Taylor because you know Taylor is a unisex name but no Taylor is actually a female so Garrett is not worthless and then Leo is not worthless out of everybody else complete garbage so I will be getting to that later
00:01:45
Speaker
after I review and hear what other people have to say because I definitely like to hear other takes because sometimes other people's takes are very insightful and they catch things that were an oversight for me.
Celebrating Kiki Palmer: Talent and Persona
00:01:59
Speaker
But I would like to move on to talk about Miss Kiki Palmer. I am a fan of Kiki Palmer. She is just multi-talented, but what blows me away with Kiki Palmer is how consistently funny and consistently likable she is.
00:02:20
Speaker
Like, I feel like she could do no wrong. She was born to be an entertainer. She just seems so, so nice. So kind hearted, smart, very, very quick witted.
00:02:36
Speaker
Just the complete package, body banging, face card valid. Like I just think she's a great role model just for little girls out there, dark skinned black girls out there. I just, I think she's an icon and I'm just so glad that she's been in the game so long. Like her career has been popping since she was a child.
Kiki Palmer: Overcoming Unhealthy Relationships?
00:03:02
Speaker
So unfortunately,
00:03:07
Speaker
Kiki Palmer had a, not unfortunately, but Kiki Palmer was in a relationship that she calls unhealthy. And there was footage slash screenshots of a camera footage that was shot in the home of Kiki Palmer and her ex-boyfriend that shows Kiki Palmer's ex-boyfriend physically
00:03:33
Speaker
and baby daddy physically assaulting her. One of the things that I admired so much about Kiki Palmer is she allowed everybody to say whatever the hell they wanted to say, and she kept quiet. Her mom, on the other hand, she attacked Kiki's baby daddy, but Kiki herself, she didn't say much. She allowed everybody else to weigh in on her filing
00:04:04
Speaker
basically documents saying that she was being physically abused and where she talked about the abuse and Kiki is coming out with a second book, similar to Tina Knowles is coming out with a book in April. So I am overjoyed that people are talking about books by black women slash just books by icons, popular, prominent,
00:04:28
Speaker
successful black women. So they're getting people to talk about books right now. It's going to be a very exciting year for books next year. Anyway, so Kiki, I saw in a video that she did, and I find her completely captivating and entertaining as hell, as I said, I really need to listen to her podcast because
00:04:47
Speaker
She's just so so like there's never a dull moment with Kiki like I love to watch her videos on Instagram.
Addressing Child-on-Child Sexual Abuse: Kiki's Experience
00:04:55
Speaker
Anyway, so Kiki had a separate video where she talked about how she was molested as a child by a child and how we do not talk about we do not talk about child on child sexual abuse.
00:05:09
Speaker
And it's so true, like just watching her video and listening to her, I thought to myself, like, how often are we really talking about one child sexually abusing another child? It needs to, it really needs to be talked about more. And so that young kids know that it is wrong because she said she didn't feel that she was molested because it wasn't an adult, a grown ass adult molesting her.
00:05:36
Speaker
So I already know her next book is going to snatch my wig and my edges. I need to find out. Let me see. Sometimes, you know, sometimes I do this. Let me see when her book comes out.
Anticipation for 'Master of Me': Kiki's Upcoming Book
00:05:51
Speaker
So Kiki's book is called Master of Me, and it comes out November 19th this month. I think I'm going to go ahead and add it. I'm going to add it to my audible.
00:06:04
Speaker
I consume most of my books through Audible and especially when it's an entertainer, I think that's the best way to consume an audiobook because you are getting acting, you know, while they read their book. Anyway, so Kiki has been deep in her promo bag and she is finally talking about Darius is the name of her ex, I think.
00:06:28
Speaker
You know, he's so irrelevant a minute ago. I was thinking like, should I Google this man's name? And I'm about positive. Okay, yep, it's Darius.
Darius Jackson: Military and Allegations
00:06:41
Speaker
I know the last name is Jackson. So anyways, Kiki spoke with People magazine about Darius Jackson broke piece of shit. Very stupid.
00:06:57
Speaker
Whenever you are with someone who has money, who could provide a lifestyle for you that you could not have on your own, who loves and adores you, and also pushes your baby out of their vagina, and the best you could do is abuse that person and or publicly disrespect and embarrass that person, you're an idiot.
00:07:23
Speaker
You're stupid because there are some women who will stay and remain. And then you got your Kiki Palmer, your Kiki Palmer's out there who are like, oh, I think you forgot who I am, but I'm gonna let you know because it's over.
00:07:39
Speaker
And once I'm gone, you're going to remember what you had. And that's what Kiki did. And what I love about, I read this article and part of the reason why I'm reading it is because I found out through the People magazine interview with Kiki. I found out what Darius is up to because Darius was basically allegedly on Kiki's payroll and not really doing, you know, pretty much anything. He was kind of like a Kevin Federline.
00:08:04
Speaker
And through this article, I found out that Darius joined the military. The perfect place for him to basically be around people who believe in toxic masculinity. And I'm not slamming the military, but any profession where men are around other men, primarily toxic masculinity tends to be a very law
00:08:34
Speaker
a very big factor in the type of things that are said, the type of beliefs that are spread, the type of behavior that is promoted and condoned. That's just how it goes. Period, point, blank, period. There are statistics about what I'm saying. So I'm not saying that this is a generalization. All I'm saying is for Darius, who is beating on Kiki Palmer,
00:09:03
Speaker
allegedly to join a profession where he could flex his muscles figuratively and literally and act like a goon. I think this is the perfect fit for him because obviously just being a good partner, that was way too much to ask for when it came to Darius piece of shit, Jackson.
Social Media Drama: Kiki's Response to Criticism
00:09:27
Speaker
So Kiki weighed in on Darius tweeting
00:09:34
Speaker
It's, quote, it's the outfit though, you a mom. When Kiki had a video of her enjoying herself at Escher's concert and a photo of her in a sheer dress, she ate that look just like she usually does. That was a problem.
00:09:55
Speaker
That was a problem for Darius and he wanted the world to know. He thought that the world was going to be on his side saying, it's the outfit though, you a mom. He was saying this all the while to a young woman, not like she up in her sixties and she's wearing like a bikini. Like he said this to Kiki Palmer who was in a classy sexy dress and who became a mom at like 29 years old.
00:10:26
Speaker
OK, OK, Darius. Go ahead and do your thing in the in the military. Anyways, so now let me get to what Kiki said about that humiliating, life changing, image changing tweet by her baby daddy.
00:10:45
Speaker
Kiki said, quote, I was speechless. I was at a photo shoot and everybody was looking all weird. I was like, are y'all good? And then I randomly was on my phone and I saw. It was so crazy. I didn't want to engage with something that wasn't reality and fan the fire. I was just at a concert doing what I do as an entertainer, creating a fun moment. How it became a storyline that me and Usher are in love. I don't know.
00:11:15
Speaker
end quote. So Kiki said that her relationship with Darius wasn't healthy.
Fame and Personal Life: Kiki's Balancing Act
00:11:20
Speaker
I remember that after that tweet, Kiki, I feel like they maybe broke up quietly. And then I remember Kiki posted alive and she was eating. I think it was on Valentine's Day or something.
00:11:40
Speaker
Anyway, she posted a live with Darius and they had no chemistry at all. And I think she posted that live kind of to let people know like, look, we together. And I was like, we don't need to see this video girl because there was no chemistry here. Like it was not, it was very uncomfortable. So when she says it's unhealthy, yeah, I believe it. There was a power dynamic that Darius could not handle.
00:12:07
Speaker
There was a wage, or sorry, financial disparity that Darius could not handle, fame disparity he couldn't handle. Go ahead, be with a bum bitch. But if that's what you want, and if you're not cut out to be with somebody famous, stop wasting these women's time if you are not capable of dealing with them outshining you. Don't then just date down. I don't know why people date up who can't handle it.
00:12:38
Speaker
Let me get back to this article. So Kiki says, which is a spin that I don't enjoy because he was allegedly verbally or sorry, allegedly physically abusive to her. Kiki said that what kind of contributed to their relationship being unhealthy was the stress of being new parents. They welcomed their son Leo in February of 2023.
00:13:07
Speaker
Kiki also said that she thinks that fame was a factor. Let's see here. Kiki said, quote, it's just she's talking about fame. It's just been a monkey on my back all my life. I'm used to it. But I've always known and not just with romantic relationships, but with my family, with my friends. Fame has always become a burden.
00:13:32
Speaker
I live a very basic life, but fame would make you think that I'd go to the Usher concert and pull him off the stage and have him wrapped around my finger. You might think that, but it's like, girl, I'm just like every other mama going out for a night. And Kiki says that her and her ex have found a custody agreement that works for their family.
Custody Agreement: Relief and Control
00:13:54
Speaker
And she said, quote, I'm so proud of him and happy for him. I feel very at ease now knowing things are under control, end quote.
00:14:02
Speaker
Now with Kiki and Darius, I've always felt that Kiki wanted a baby. We see this a lot, a lot. Whether people are famous or not, we see a lot of people who want to have a baby, so they make sure they have a baby. These women, and sometimes,
00:14:27
Speaker
I'm not talking about Kiki here. With some women, I feel that having a baby is a lot more important to them than who they have a baby with. And Kiki was certainly young enough to be able to wait another, pushing another decade to have kids. But I also think it's great when people have their kids young. You know, somebody could argue both sides, but with Kiki, I feel that she was in love and she wanted a baby. She got that baby. And I think it's,
00:14:57
Speaker
very unfortunate that her ex couldn't be a decent partner to her. And with the public knowing what she allegedly endured, I really hope that that is not
00:15:11
Speaker
firing off a sick, not signaling to any other potential abusers that they should be with Kiki and try to do the same shit. Because a lot of times people think, oh, well, so-and-so put up with it before, but someone else will put up with that shit for me. And I really hope that that's not the case. For our girl, Miss Kiki Palmer, man, she's probably gonna really give details about everything in her book. I wonder if she talks about the abuse in her book. Maybe it's,
00:15:41
Speaker
a sense of subject she doesn't want to get into. But I just feel like this girl's gonna keep shining, keep winning, keep securing her roles. And I love her work ethic. It's like Kiki doesn't ever want to stop. She's gonna write books, she's gonna do music, she's gonna be acting, she's gonna be producing, she's gonna be directing, she's gonna have a podcast.
00:16:03
Speaker
and I'm here for all of it. I just want her to find a good man. After we found out what a piece of shit the Darius is, I want to see her with a good man, and I feel like Kiki was very public with Darius, and I feel like she usually isn't very public with a lot of these dudes. I can't really remember her roster, but I'm just ready for a brand new year, a very big year for Kiki next year, so.
00:16:29
Speaker
That's what she had to say about that tweet and for anyone out there famous or not, obviously y'all who aren't famous are probably listening, not nobody famous. You don't gotta embarrass anybody on social media. I understand that that's what you feel inclined to do, especially when you're pissed off, but you don't gotta be doing this dumb shit. Just have a little respect for the person that you're with and keep your mess offline.
00:16:59
Speaker
some of us have to learn that some of us will never learn that but if you can practice some restraint and impulse control keep your bullshit off the internet it's really not the place all right y'all let me see if i will record another episode after this one talk to you soon
