Transcript
00:00so now that I know what my triggers are you can't test me so that was the
00:04biggest takeaway from this whole situation I know you dipped your toe in
00:12some drama this season we saw it play out off-camera essence.com covered it as
00:18well I guess tell me as much as you want to tell me um yeah because I know I mean
00:24I know we have to watch what happens but right without giving away too much and
00:29without giving away you know all that was already giving away you I'll just say
00:36the best way I can sum it up is sometimes in life you find yourself in
00:39positions where you do things and then you look back and you're like man how
00:42did that even happen how did this even get to this point to me the most
00:46important part is what you do to move forward after that and making sure that
00:51you do things so that it doesn't happen again and I took that whole journey very
00:56seriously I had no intention of pursuing any charge against Candace I'd had no
01:03intention of you know trying to see her in jail or you know or even trying to get
01:09any money up out of her like I didn't have any attention for that I just wanted it
01:13to I just wanted to move forward she had other intentions and it dragged out to the
01:19point where areas every um outlet is covering it um without all the
01:25information most people just was like oh Monique got pressed with an assault
01:29charge which you know she filed a complaint against me um at one point you
01:34know she was seeking monetary uh damages yeah and those charges were dismissed yeah
01:43right thank you none of my monies and the charges were dismissed thank God because at the end of the day
01:49you can't call someone uh you can't call something an attack or an assault if it
01:55wasn't so I'm happy that the court system was able to see through the BS and they
02:02dropped both uh complaints on my side and on her side and I'm just ready to move
02:08forward yeah what did you learn from that situation and how are you making sure
02:13that never happens again so I started seeing a therapist which I've always believed in good
02:18counseling um but I never saw like a professional therapist before who doesn't know me you know
02:25so that was new and it was actually a good thing it allowed me to really investigate what my triggers
02:31were and you know and to really understand what can push you and I always thought that I was pretty
02:39much in control of myself but then you get tested you know so now that I know what my triggers are you
02:45can't test me so that was the biggest takeaway from this whole situation and uh I have way too much to
02:51lose so I can't be freeze fighting people
