'R&B Divas LA Reunion Show Part 2' Brought Out More Secrets


R&B Divas L.A. cast and Wendy Williams 

Part 2 of the "R&B Divas LA" reunion show brought to light more secrets concerning cast members. For example, singer Michel'le revealed her ex-fiancé, rapper/producer, Dr. Dre used to beat her so badly that she had to cover the black eyes with make-up. Not cool Dre!

Kelly Price revealed she was repeatedly molested at age three by a female cousin, which is terrible. This maybe where some of Price's anger, bitterness and bullying stems from, as she has been mean to the other women on the show, gaining herself a bad reputation with the public.


The reality TV money is not worth the negative image Price is now owner of, which has put off the public. As much as I know about industry folks, I never realized Price was like this. It's a shame someone didn't talk to her early in the show's taping and tell her to pull that back, but this is who she is and it has not helped her.

Lil Mo, Chante Moore, Claudette Ortiz and Michel'le have gained so much from this reality show, including new fans, career opportunities and regenerated names. The Judiciary Report is happy for them as they are talented, beautiful women who have been through much and deserve good breaks.

However, seemingly overnight Kelly Price has destroyed a name she took twenty-years to build. Price wasn't broke when she did the show, due to songwriting royalties, but her name was not in the mainstream as it had been in the past during her time with Badboy Entertainment. This was not the best comeback.

Former En Vogue singer Dawn Robinson didn't fare as badly, but this show damaged her name as well, due to following Price and reportedly being kicked off the show for lying about her ex-husband, producer Dre Allen (Girl, you nearly got me and several other people sued). Reunion show host, Wendy Williams seemed to imply Robinson would not be returning for season two of the show.

However, the ladies are going on tour. Kelly Price, KeKe Wyatt and a few others are hitting the road. For the tour to be a hit, it will need Moore, Claudette Ortiz, Lil Mo, Michel'le, Faith and Angie Stone as well. "R&B Divas LA" is more popular than "R&B Divas Atlanta" so to have the tour mostly comprised of the latter won't bring the biggest financial return.

Was Kelly Price And Dawn Robinson’s Monologue Better Than The Rest Of 'R&B Diva’s LA' Cast



R&B Divas LA

The season finale of the reality show "R&B Divas LA" featured a monologue show held at a concert hall in Los Angeles, starring singers Chante Moore, Michel'le, Lil Mo and Claudette Ortiz. The ladies did a very good job in telling their stories and singing compelling songs. 

Noticeably absent from the monologue was singers Kelly Price and Dawn Robinson of En Vogue. Price caused a significant amount of friction on the show, after she repeatedly stood up the ladies at rehearsals and social events, such as a charity where she was the guest of honor.

Price was upset that after waiting around for her, the other four ladies took the initiative and hired their own director and production staff to start the monologue, whilst still working her into the show. Price left and did  her own monologue with Robinson, which did not have good production values. The content was good, but the production needed work.

It should go without saying but the Judiciary Report will state it anyway, Price and Robinson would have been better off sticking with the other ladies and their show, which was far better in many ways. Now price has to deal with her name that is in tatters all over the internet, as people watched the show and disliked her attitude and bullying.

This is often a problem in girl groups. Someone always wants to be the center of attention, rather than working as a group and it causes massive problems and splits. In a group setting egos must be checked at the door or things will not work. Even as a solo artist, showing up with one's ego turned all the way up leaves a negative impression.

The Women Of R&B Divas L.A. Talk About Losing Their Virginity

This week, the women of the entertaining new reality show "R&B Divas L.A." discussed the first time they had sex with a man. The discussion took place over a birthday feast for singer Chante Moore, held at vocalist Kelly Price's house. People all over the internet are talking about the spread Price prepared and how they wish they had attended the dinner.


Moore stated she lost her virginity at age 17 to an older man in a sexual encounter she really did not want. She stated she expressed this to the man in question, but he kept insisting and went for it, which is not a cool thing to do when a woman is so clearly indicating no. It's one thing to keep asking, but quite another to help yourself.

Singer Lil Mo said she too lost her virginity at age 17, with the man calling her and stating she was to come by the following day to do the deed. She didn't sound too happy with what transpired, stating it was not what she expected. She expected flowers and music, but what she got was an emotionally cold and physically painful experience. Their honesty was refreshing, as that's not the message Hollywood likes to send.



Losing one's virginity is an important event in a woman's life (a man as well). A lot of women have stories regarding wishing they had waited to lose their virginity to their husband, as that's the point you know true love. Someone who commits to you should have the benefit of that.

 

However, that's not a message you will hear in the mainstream, as Hollywood is about sex, drugs and rock n' roll and as purveyors of pop culture, it is the lifestyle they push and portray to the public's detriment. Following this example is also why some women end up so emotionally damaged and devastated from bad relationships. You mean well, you're looking for love, but end up being sexually used by someone who is not on the same page. Sleeping with man after man will take it's toll as well (and vice versa).

Lil Mo

Don't let anyone ridicule you for choosing to wait until you're married to have sex. It's a personal choice. It's your body and you can do with it what you wish. Don't allow yourself to be pressured into something you are not ready for that goes against personal beliefs and goals you've set for yourself. If someone loves you, they'd respect your wishes and commit to you.
