my reason for sharing with Angel and Rocc
what was shared with me about their relationship
was out of concern and love, and that is it.

So, before y'all eat-- Wait a minute.

Can I have this few moments to get it straight

I definitely feel I'm getting a bad rap
in this whole situation with Angel and RoccStar.
I wasn't doing anything but trying to help,
and now it's, "Oh, well, Jackie did this,
"and Jackie did that." We can't have this.
I don't play them games.
Okay, you guys, so, I do have permission
from the host to address a couple of things.
I did things out of care and concern for Angel and Rocc,
and I'll give you guys a little back story.
You shared with me, Duffey,
that you were concerned about her and Rocc
and her not being happy, so I'm thinking,
I'm not gon' sit in they house and not say anything.
- First of all, why are you guys having
a conversation about my man and my relationship?
I don't understand.
I'm not having these conversations about y'all men.
- JACKIE: I have been married 26 years and I want to help.
Did you ever say that I said to you she was a bad friend?
- It was insinuated because the way you came over.
Rocc was like, "Well, see, "this is exactly what
I'm talking about." You guys are being messy.
I'm pregnant! Like, why would you bring that up--
And cause him to look at me? - JACKIE: Okay, first of all,
I don't know, but what I'm not gonna do is have my name
or my character assassinated, Angel.
I'm not doing that, and I don't give a [bleep]
who don't like it. It ain't happening.
I would never! And I didn't talk about it in a negative way,
and you know that! - Wait, wait, wait.
- JACKIE: You know that! You know that!
No, you know that! You know that!
- All she wants to know is,
why didn't you call her or talk to her separately
instead of riling her? - JACKIE: Now check this out.
I get it now, I understand.
If I shouldn't have talked to you in front of Rocc,
sorry, I'm not about games. You're my friend.
I like that man. I think he's great for you.
I don't know what your personal issue is.
- BRITTISH: And she said that since day one.
Now she keeps saying that. - JACKIE: Thank you!
- JENNIFER: Can I say one thing? Can I say one thing?
When Jackie first told me about it,
she's definitely told me in confidence.
- Duffey said that Angel had shared with her
she ain't happy.
- JENNIFER: Oh, lord. - So I talked to Angel and Rocc,
and, yeah, RoccStar proceeded to go off.
- JENNIFER: What is up with these 20 personalities
that these [bleep] be having? - JACKIE: Listen--
- JENNIFER: Things like that are red flags, right?
- So why is she telling you and not me?
Wait, what, now you heard about it too?
Now I feel sort of in a humiliation status
because I'm sitting here with the girls
who act like they clearly never had issues
in their relationships, which we all know they have.
- JACKIE: Angel, you know I would never do that to you.
- What the [bleep]? - I was just trying to help.
- ANGEL: I don't even care. Like, it's cool, whatever,
it doesn't matter. - No, don't leave.
- [everyone clamoring]
- ANGEL: No, it's just too much, it's too much!
- BRITTISH: Oh my god! - ANGEL: It's really too much!
And that's what happens when people call
and have this conversation. By the time it gets around
the room, it turns into something different.

That's why y'all don't understand
what the [bleep] is going on.

I was not trying to be mean.
I said, "You know, you guys, I was just curious,
"because, you know, I'm concerned,"
and that was my point of view. It was never,
"Oh, well, guess what?" This and that, that's bull [bleep].

She is pregnant! You can't get like that!

They're trying to lie on me, I told you.
They're lying on me, and I'm not doing it. No, uh-uh, no!
No, I ain't got no problem saying it.
Duffey feeling like I went there
just to stir up some drama and throw her under the bus,
it really hurts because I'm a concerned friend.
I've been married for 26 years.
I see that they have the potential to have
a long-lasting relationship.
I could not not approach Angel and RoccStar and try to offer
whatever help I can give.
- DUFFEY: I feel so bad, bro.
- JACKIE: Okay, wait, what happened? Where's Angel?
- She left, she left.
- BRITTISH: So why did she leave?
- She just like, "I'm upset.
I feel like everybody thinks my relationship is a joke."
Now she's upset about it.
- Maybe I stepped out of bounds by even having the conversation,
but there's some other situations that's going on
that people aren't aware of. Rocc said a whole bunch of
[bleep] 'cause he was upset about Duffey.
That [bleep] pissed me the [bleep] off.

That's not your place.
I mean, come on, like, what, you know?
To me, that's a little crazy. - I never!
It's so easy with me, though, to target my vagina.
It's been doing that for years!

- Who, what he gonna say to make my man leave me
other than she done [bleep] with a rapper, [bleep] with [bleep]?
That happened my whole [bleep] career!
