K'MONIE and Kevin are proud of their hairstyles, but unfortunately, the couple often receive backlash over their locks. K'Monie explained to Love Don't Judge: "People judge us because of the way that we look." Agreeing, Kevin added: "Trolls say we're not compatible because of our hair. They judge her because of how thick it is and me because I'm losing some of it." The pair met at K'Monie's brother's birthday party and soon hit it off, eventually falling in love. Since making TikToks, the couple have received a lot of unwanted attention. "Those keyboard warriors are brave. They won't say it in Walmart, but as soon as they got home, they'll be in the comments like, 'I just saw you in Walmart, you look so ugly.'" In today's episode of Love Don't Judge, the pair will be having a chat with K'Monie's sister, Asa, to see what she thinks about their relationship. Asa admitted: "I wasn't aware that my sister was into different cultures."

00:00I'm Kamone and this is my man Kevin and people judge us because of the way we
00:05look. My queen. Every single day we get stared at. Trolls say we're not compatible
00:11because of our hair. They judge her because of how thick her hair is and then
00:14me because I'm losing some of my hair. They've compared him to Hitler. They said
00:19y'all look like a genetic experiment gone wrong. With my family I felt like hmm.
00:24Well I wasn't aware that my sister was into different cultures. Hi my name is
00:33Kamone. And your boy Kel. And today I'm gonna show Kel how to style my hair.
00:39Wish me luck. Yeah. People judge us for our hair but we don't care.
00:45Grab the loop. Do you want to do it? Yeah. I try to help her with hers but I feel like
00:51I'd be slowing her down. And I help record her and make content for her. We both
00:55have dealt with a lot of judgment from other people so I mean we know how the
01:00other person feels. What you're doing is pretty much braiding around the lock
01:04extension and then do you know what you're doing? Kinda. I know I gotta go around it
01:10this way right? Hold on let me start it off. I just love her locks. They're so
01:14beautiful. People can't grasp the concept of people fall in love with who they fall
01:18in love with. You don't have to be six foot tall and the best looking. You just
01:21gotta find a person for you. We met at her brother's birthday party actually. I was
01:26the cameraman coming to record his birthday party. We texted for a little
01:29while. We were friends for like two years. So it took me a while to kind of grow on
01:33him. Or for him to grow on me if that makes sense. And then the rest is history. No. Just
01:41make sure you're twisting the locks as I'm doing it. Yeah. People call me a lion
01:46mane because I have so much hair. My hair is important to me because when I was younger
01:53I didn't have a role model to teach me. As you know twist the locks. Oh okay okay okay. We
02:01weren't necessarily designed to look at ourselves all day. So take that one around, take that one
02:07around. Not necessarily but you can do that. Now that we have all these devices we kind of
02:12judge ourselves a lot more. So like bring them around like this. Like that. No but it's okay. I'm
02:19so confused. Just goofing off making a video. Really. All up in my face with it. Somebody said
02:29he got too little hair and she has too much. He said y'all are not a typical
02:34relationship. She's a beautiful woman and you're an average looking white guy. It's
02:3920-25 and interracial relationships are becoming more and more normalized every
02:43day. Except for on social media. Those keyboard warriors are brave. They won't
02:48say it in Walmart. If we walk past them they'll just be like I saw you on social
02:51media. And then as soon as they get home they're gonna be in the comments like I
02:55just saw you in Walmart. You look so ugly. Blah blah blah. It's funny because we didn't
02:59really receive judgment when we started our relationship. Not really too much until our
03:04first like real viral video that hit like hundreds of thousands of views. Her hair is
03:09more fluffy than the tree is with a bunch of laughing faces. For weeks we was
03:14getting blown up with notifications and a lot of selfishness hate comments and it's
03:19tough when you have to see all that. Somebody put a Kip and LaFonda gif from
03:23Napoleon Dynamite. At this point it doesn't really bother me but at first it did
03:27kind of bother me. They said y'all look like a genetic experiment gone wrong which
03:32is crazy. They've compared him to Hitler. I didn't even know that. That's crazy.
03:38Like that. Mm-hmm. Bring it back around. Oh I'm learning. I got some Scorpio pieces. I do kind of get
03:50extra with it. It's kind of like an earring but for your hair. For earrings.
03:56Hair rings. A lot of people told me to cut my hair off. This took me about around six hours.
04:02Oh why y'all so worried about my hair that y'all feel like I should cut my hair?
04:08Like... No you can't do that. Who cares if you like it? It's her hair. I don't necessarily
04:15believe in societal beauty standards and if you're happy with who you are and you're
04:19happy with who your partner is that's all that matters.
04:22Cause you're so lightweight. You gotta... I ain't trying to scratch your face. Yeah but
04:26you gotta... you gotta hold it. Is it pushing? Mm-hmm. Kinda yeah. How's it look?
04:31Yeah that works. They feel like he's I guess a lot older than me because of his receded hairline.
04:38People go crazy over that hairline. Yeah. I don't know what it is. They judge her because of how thick
04:44her hair is and then me because I'm losing some of my hair a little bit.
04:47So now that dear old Kevin has helped me with my hair I'm finna help him with his. Get him
04:52all spiffied up for the day. Just do it. I'm too OCD with mine so I let her do it. Yeah. I'll sit
04:59there for two hours calling my hair. I know. I do feel a little just because of the thinning
05:05spot that I have on top of my head but I do think about it a little more than I used to
05:10just because of how much it gets brought up in the comments. He don't really like too many
05:13people touching his head. But I'm in the same way. Thank you.
05:19He got my lip stuff on you. Ooh. Ooh. Don't go. Looking like we're in some movie.
05:24I have received a bunch of hate comments regarding like my body. I do feel self
05:29conscious. I'm learning how to just manage it. I feel like it's made as strong as a
05:34couple because you never know when you're gonna be in a spotlight. Then you're able to
05:38actually deal with the real world. I'm a quadruplet. Today my sister Asa is
05:45coming over to share her opinions about our relationship. I was a bit shocked. Well
05:51I wasn't aware that my sister was into different cultures. Hey. What's up? Asa was happy for me.
06:03I do feel that she did have her thoughts along the way.
06:11So Asa, how did you feel when Kevin and I started dating? Were you shocked at all?
06:16To be honest I was shocked in the beginning. You're like an icon here. Although we are
06:22too, what attracted you two to each other? He's so caring, loving, supportive. He listens.
06:30I knew I loved her before we were even together. So how do you deal with the online judgment?
06:35We didn't really ignore them. Because a lot of the stuff is just, oh girl take that hair out. It
06:40looks trash. Or oh like why are you with a white boy? If you're not a loctician you
06:45can't really tell me anything about my hair. You feel me? They would basically imply that
06:49because they didn't like her hair and they felt like her hair didn't look good that that
06:52meant I didn't care about her because I let her walk out the house like that. I like the way her
06:56hair looks. I don't give a damn if they do or not. My family, they didn't necessarily
07:01normalize interracial dating and stuff like that. Like they were surprised but
07:05they loved her. So with my family, I felt like, hmm. I was unsure if my immediate family
07:13approved because you know of stuff I was hearing. And of course at that point it really didn't
07:18matter because we was already, you know, locked in. It just made me feel unincluded, unwelcome.
07:23At a certain point you just have to let it go. Let go and let God. So that's what I did.
07:29Well I appreciate you coming over to see us Asset. No problem. Thank you love.
07:34Take you another brownie. Yeah we appreciate you.
07:40Every single day we get stared at. It don't matter where we go but they don't really say
07:45too much. They just be looking like. In Walmart it's the worst. Just about anybody you see
07:50is walking by like. Who the? Are you ready to go to the park baby? After you my love.
07:59Kamoni has definitely changed my life in multiple ways. She's made me a lot more patient
08:03of a person. She's taught me how to love a lot more. He just continues to pour so
08:08much love into me that I've learned how to love myself even more.
08:13What I would say to people that judge our relationship honestly is just go find you
08:18somebody. Go find you some love. But honestly you got to learn to love yourself
08:21first before you can find love.
08:38you
