Kandi is a business woman. She is talented and learned different ways to reinvent herself and her brand without THROWING WINE BOTTLES and LEAKING NUDE PHOTOS. She takes into account that she has a daughter that will have to suffer the consequences of her actions so she makes sure to keep the buffoonery to a minimum. Personally, I think for Kandi to be put in the same category as the rest of these clowns, is an insult.
Lets take Tamar for instance. Known for dot-com'ing, org'ing, edu'ing and net'ing everything, Tamar has single handedly ruined the English language. Not only does she lack intelligence, she gives herself way too much credit in the talent department. Not saying she isn't a talented woman, but her 'I know everything, this is how it's supposed to go' mentality is why she is a reality TV star and not a famous singer. If you knew everything, you'd be famous already. So in your own very famous words "have several seats!" .org...
Evelyn is my favorite. She's what I like to call the "emotional thug." How do you throw bottles at people, jump across tables yelling, "you ain't bout this life," and then cry because your homie lives in a 2 bedroom apartment in Harlem? I often wonder if the cameras didn't follow Evelyn if she would be "bout that life." Evelyn is no where near a role model to me. You have a daughter in college and I bet she doesn't even act the way you do. There comes a time when you have to grow up. Throwing bottles doesn't get you cool points in the real world, it gets you jail time.
Last but not least... Chrissy. I actually really love Chrissy as a character on Love & Hip Hop. I think she is real, funny and you can tell her heart is big. Unfortunately, Chrissy is another person to make an ass out of herself with the constant fighting. From fighting her man's battles, to her friend's battles to her own battles, all Chrissy does is fight! Sad because it makes this very beautiful woman look disgusting.
I wish these women suffered the consequences of fighting without the cameras around. These shows only portray us as angry black women. The shows do not show black women being great mothers, friends, daughters and entertainers. Instead, you are recognized for throwing bottles, dropping nude pictures on the net, pulling out weaves, fighting in clubs, starting twitter wars, and overall disrespecting yourselves and your family. Being a strong woman does not mean physically fighting to prove a point. Being a strong woman means standing up for yourself, having a presence and not having to resort to violence when things don't go the way you feel they should. Are these women role models? Not in the least!
