Hi Angela. So with my husband for years, not really
happy but dealing with it, and caught him cheating for
the third time, and so I decided to let loose
and let it out, and in a four or five
month span, I slept with like I were literally twenty
different men to kind of get all the frustration out

(11:19):
and let it out my system. And then after that
I felt better. I mean it's like a year later,

There are a lot of little jokes.

Speaker 10 (11:59):

Speaker 18 (12:00):
But no, I'm glad I did it because I was
trying so hard for so long to be good, even
though I wasn't happy. And he decided when he didn't
feel happy, he wanted to do what he wanted to do.

Speaker 2 (12:11):
So how did you get it?

Speaker 18 (12:13):

four months though, But may now, I'm not judging.

Yes, it's way up with Angela ye, and it's time
for asking goffee and I are here to all of
your questions now. This person is anonymous. Yes, okay, what's
your question, darling?

Speaker 14 (14:14):
I just wanted to take congrats on the show. I'm
a big can of lip service too, thank you. My
question is, of course, I'm in a relationship right now
with someone who I've been with for a year, but
we are having problems in the bed. I'm starting to
think he has ed And I'm currently seeing someone else
as well on the side, and I'm having a better

(14:35):
experience with them, but they're kind of playing some games.
Sometimes they don't text me back right away, you know,
and it's like, you know, what are we doing?

Speaker 7 (14:43):
What is this?

Speaker 14 (14:44):
But I like it better in the bed with him
versus my actual boyfriend someone else to do I really
care about my boyfriend.

Speaker 4 (14:50):
How long you been with your boyfriend a year? How
long you've been listening with this dude?

Speaker 18 (14:55):
Three months?

Speaker 4 (14:56):
Sometimes when it's new.

Speaker 9 (14:57):
It's all exciting, because what if after a year you
mess with him and he starts to not work.

Speaker 4 (15:03):
Maybe you're getting bored.

Speaker 9 (15:05):
You know what I'm saying. It's always every time it's new,
it's always great.

Speaker 2 (15:08):
But let's talk about his erectile dysfunction. Because you do
really like your boyfriend, right, I do?

Speaker 14 (15:13):
And at first it was really good, but then out
of nowhere, it's just started getting bad.

Speaker 4 (15:18):
Erectile dysfunction.

Speaker 9 (15:19):
What if it's you, No, don't no, I'm saying no, no, no,
no, no no.

Speaker 4 (15:23):
Is it not putting her down?

Speaker 9 (15:24):
What if he's already you and his thing ain't working
and it's working for someone.

Speaker 4 (15:27):
Else like you?

Speaker 9 (15:28):
You're you might be having sex with this other another person,
now you you are right? So what if he's having
sex with another person he just gets soft when he
sees you. I'm just saying this on her, No, put
it on her, but the softness could be hard.

Speaker 2 (15:41):
Now let's talk about this though. Was he diagnosed? Has
he gone to the doctor to see what the issue is?

Speaker 14 (15:48):
He hasn't. I'm too scared to tell him. But if
done my own like research on what you know, it's
kind of matching up, and it leads.

Speaker 2 (15:54):
To that what does he what's going on in his
rail left? Does he have some issues? Does he have
extra dress? Is his diet changing?

Speaker 14 (16:03):
He does have some really curious stuff going on, and
I feel bad. That's why, like even so bad, like
thinking like this. He does have some real going on.

Speaker 2 (16:11):
Right, Well, that's okay, but let me say this first
of all, if you care about him as a person
and you know he has some really serious things going on,
I think you need to help him tackle that, whether
or not you're going to be with him cheating on him.
If he finds that out, by the way, that's gonna
crush him, especially because you know he has so much
going on. Now.

Speaker 14 (16:29):
Yeah, I also have just one more question there there's
an odor problem and I don't know how to bring
it up.

Speaker 2 (16:36):
So his penis stinks, Yes, he might have been std
there's something going on here. No, he doesn't clean himself.

Speaker 11 (16:47):
Oh god, I would hope so much.

Speaker 6 (16:51):
What part is what part?

Speaker 2 (16:55):
What did you say? Is he circumcised? He's not cleaning
up in the carpet. Okay, So he has.

Speaker 14 (17:02):
Smegma, yes, Megma, And I don't know how to tell him.

Speaker 2 (17:06):
You go, Hey, your SG mistinks. I mean, what is
that velvet? If you if you care about him at all,
it's that it's only going to help him. You want
to help him whether or not he's with you. What
is that smell?

Speaker 4 (17:21):
It smells like smegma?

Speaker 14 (17:23):
What you want to I don't want to be the
one to tell him and hurt his feelings.

Speaker 2 (17:27):
You know who else you should go?

Speaker 4 (17:32):
What is this mean you should do?

Speaker 9 (17:34):
Do you first?

Speaker 4 (17:34):
Go?

Speaker 10 (17:35):
Is that is that me?

Speaker 2 (17:36):
Because what didn't you want him to tell you that
you smell?

Speaker 10 (17:40):
Yes?

Speaker 14 (17:40):
I would for sure, but I don't know. I just
don't want to hurt his ego by saying, you know
your smell?

Speaker 2 (17:47):
Just say, what is that velvet? That's a temporary hurt though,
that is something that is like okay, because that's are
it could be a health issue, and that's something that
he needs to know and handle and take care of
because that could grow into something you.

Speaker 9 (18:00):
Just say, Hey, you know you're not circumcised. So I
think that there's a that's what you do? You have
to do it like you know you're not circumscised. And
usually and then you know, google something, go look there's
a thing that they say that people are circumscised. Get
this velvet, undish that regma.

Speaker 2 (18:17):
And maybe you can let's clean it together and you
can pull back the turtleneck and clean under the way.

Speaker 4 (18:26):
The turtle neck.

Speaker 14 (18:27):
Yeah, I tell him, I can't be the one to clean.

Speaker 2 (18:31):
It different in some solution, you do have to tell
him as somebody that cares about some mine. Sometimes you
have to have those heart.

Speaker 4 (18:41):
Yeah, you gotta do that.

Speaker 2 (18:42):
You gotta do that. There's a lot of different layers.
But I don't feel like you guys are gonna end
up together. You don't even want to talk to him
and tell him and be honest with him about things
at that minute, and you're film us who you like
better in the bedroom?

Speaker 14 (18:55):
Well, after this, it's not him, yo.

Speaker 9 (18:57):
You gotta tell him about this foreskin. It's a guy
you're doing it with. Is he does he have foreskin?
Does he have foro skin?

Speaker 4 (19:02):
The other guy?

Speaker 14 (19:03):
No, he's circumcised.

Speaker 2 (19:04):
Yeah, tell us, that's what you say.

Speaker 9 (19:06):
The guy I'm messing with and got the fourth ina,
and you got the fourth in so I know it's

Speaker 8 (19:50):
Hey, okay, Angela loves y'all.

Speaker 2 (19:54):
She've been talking about this and it's like one to
interview y'all forever. I know she's so excited I am.
So let's get into it. Derek, let's start with you.
So you and Monique met because she said she was
scrolling through and you guys became penpals first.

Speaker 3 (20:07):
So long story Shore. I was in at the time
in the fare about six years. I was new to
social media, so I put my name out there onto
the Facebook group Monique reached out.

Speaker 2 (20:18):
Were you dating anybody else prior to that when you
first got locked up?

Speaker 4 (20:21):
No, I wasn't in a relationship that at all. I
ain't got no baby mothers, no kids.

Speaker 2 (20:26):
Okay, And you're from Cleveland.

Speaker 4 (20:27):
From Cleveland up two one six.

Speaker 2 (20:29):
And then Monique you reached out? Was he the only
person you reached out to?

Speaker 10 (20:32):
He was the only person that I reached out? What
attracted you to him?

Speaker 20 (20:35):
I mainly like what he said, Like it wasn't like
I'm looking for a girlfriend to marry like he was
basically saying like he wanted a friend, you know, somebody to.

Speaker 10 (20:44):
The don't talk to. And I was interested.

Speaker 20 (20:47):
I didn't reach out to him as soon as I've
seen his profile.

Speaker 2 (20:50):
It took me like a couple of days, okay. And
what was your prior situation to that you were in
a relationship, Like, how long before that?

Speaker 20 (20:56):
I know I've been single. I was single when I
met him, but I was also dating same time too.

Speaker 2 (21:01):
Yeah, because you do be going out and Derek did
not like that going out with your friends, all right,
So then you guys started talking, and then when did
you guys decide to take it to the next level?

Speaker 10 (21:12):
Well, like we was in a great area.

Speaker 20 (21:13):
So I was like out dating, still dealing with my eggs,
and like Derek used to kind of get upset about it.
So it was like, Okay, we're gonna make it official
because we were kind of arguing about not really knowing
what we were at the moment. We knew we cared
about each other. But as I was looking at us
like he's locked up, he got some time loved and
I didn't really want to, Like I still wanted to
have time.

Speaker 2 (21:34):
He had two and a half years left right when
you got Yeah, okay.

Speaker 8 (21:37):
How did y'all keep the relationship going while he was away?
And you know their nose two and a half years.

Speaker 10 (21:42):
We talked a lot on the phone.

Speaker 3 (21:44):
It was like FaceTime video check, okay, in text me,
I might have the whole team phone to just be
on the everybody phone making sure talk to it. We
build that relationship emotionally expiritually first, and we got to
know each other like through and through.

Speaker 17 (21:59):
How what was a transition when you got out? Was
it easy for you to keep that going or.

Speaker 4 (22:04):
Did you feel yourself being pulled in other ways? Me?

Speaker 3 (22:07):
I asked a tough question, that's who I want to
be with, Like we'll make her smile, will make her happy,
make her sad, will make her mad, Like these things
I can't really see because I'm locked up. We have
the experience that, and we didn't had the opportunity experience that.
That's why a lot of that you see a lot
of the TV you' all seeing first incident like this
is our first interview.

Speaker 2 (22:26):
So, Monick, you were honest about the fact that you
were still dealing with your ex when you were talking
to Derek and you were out with your friends. He
knew that you still had other things going on. At first, yes, okay,
And then what made you decide, you know what, I'm
getting rid of him and I'm trying to work on this.

Speaker 20 (22:41):
It was more so because I was searching for any
emotional and mental connection with someone and there gave that
to me, rather than the men that I was dating.
It was just more so just like sexual, like we
didn't really connect on a deep level. So that's the
reason why I was like, Okay, I'm gonna just stuck
it out with him.

Speaker 2 (23:01):
I would like to.

Speaker 4 (23:01):
Answer he and me.

Speaker 3 (23:03):
I just highlighted the differences between them and me, you know,
And this spoke for itself. I'm action based, so if
you it was getting that prior to me, and I'm
showing you this while I'm in there, so imagine when
I can show you when I get out.

Speaker 2 (23:16):
Now, moniqu were you concerned with the fact that he
was locked up for nine years and then maybe when
he comes out the relationship is going to be different.

Speaker 20 (23:23):
I was very concerned about that because I know he
missed out on a lot of times, and I know
when he got home he was going to experience different things,
which is kind of why I was kind of being
overprotective of him and like not really wanted him to
do things to go back to prison or make him
forget about me.

Speaker 17 (23:40):
And so you set up I'm sorry, we saw you
setting up the cameras and everything. So just like what
you just said, like when we went to jail, we
went to jail. You missed out on so much, right,
I know when I came home, I know all the.

Speaker 2 (23:52):
Stuff that I thought about, the spot story, she went
to the spot, the spot that was wild.

Speaker 6 (24:00):
I'm with that. Do you find your heart to balance? Trust?

Speaker 20 (24:06):
Right?

Speaker 17 (24:06):
Because you don't want a man that missed out so
much on his life and may need to experience things. Right,
So in Essex, when you come home from prison after
doing that much time, you're still trying to catch up.
So certain things that a man wants to do and
we may be getting pulled in certain areas. Are you
still hard on him as far as the trust?

Speaker 2 (24:26):
Are you still spying on him because cameras in the
house secretly that's a lot, are you not.

Speaker 20 (24:35):
I'm trying to give him a little bit more leeway,
like we're not really sharing locations currently at the moment
because it's like I want to trust you, like I
don't want to be driving myself crazy, That's right. So
I kind of light up a lot because we see
each other a lot more.

Speaker 2 (24:50):
Now, All yeah, let's keep it real, all right, since
you keep it so real. But there was a situation
where you did get caught and even watching the show,
like when you watch back, they was that car chasing
everybody was talking about where you know, he said it
was his sisters at first, and then he was acting
like he didn't know who it was, but then come
to find out it was a CEO who I guess
was You know, you had a prior situation with and

(25:12):
you told us before you really told her like you
was on TV and you was having a conversation with
her on speaker, knowing exactly what was going on, but
you was in there like I don't know who this is.
He was acting, Yeah he was, Karen, trust me.

Speaker 20 (25:25):
Had I known it, I definitely would have pulled over, right.
But at that point when I was when we were
in the car, I'm like, I know this saying his
sisters because they just drive them to crazy, like because
at first I thought it was some guys in the
back seat because he was just coming home. So that's
why I was like scared and scrimming like that because
I'm thinking, like, maybe somebody's trying to rob us.

Speaker 10 (25:45):
So I don't know.

Speaker 3 (25:46):
I feeling control the situation because I was in my city.
I knew White after me, I just knew who it was.
I feel like it could have got worse if I
if the car was to stop.

Speaker 2 (25:54):
The Monique was crying, she was scared, like she did
not terrify.

Speaker 4 (25:58):
That was I had I had her.

Speaker 3 (26:00):
I just you didn't want to get caught it because
it's a situation. With that situation, whe wasn't what I wanted.
I'm talking about for as the situation with the CEO.

Speaker 4 (26:14):
It wasn't what I want is what she wanted.

Speaker 3 (26:16):
I wanted this, I want him Monique, and the wanted
more and I told her it wasn't that.

Speaker 2 (26:22):
Now let's talk about this too, Monique, because your weight
has been a topic of discussion. I saw you going
back and forth on social media, like why would people
think that Derek wouldn't like you because of that? Because
it does feel like he's very into you. So why
do you think that people criticize that and really try
to act like this isn't possible.

Speaker 20 (26:39):
I think tvy really don't show a plus size when
woman being love correctly, especially by a man who's attractive.
Because I've never been well, I've been insecure when I
was younger, but in my adult years, like I don't
have trouble finding a man. People think like I was
really puddling through pimpa websites to find a man. No,
I just happened came across there and I pretty much

(27:01):
was more interested in what he was saying rather than
what he looked like.

Speaker 2 (27:05):
And Derek and on your behalf. Some people feel like
Monique is too good for you, like she just treats
you too good. They also feel like she pays for
things and that you're out here doing you and she's
holding you down. She held you down while you were
locked up and you came home. She's, you know, handling things.
I know at one point they thought you paid that
crazy bill for dinner, But it turns out production paid

(27:25):
that five hundred dollars bill. Is that correct.

Speaker 20 (27:27):
I don't like how that became a big thing. This
is the man I love and I care about. Even
if he didn't want to come home and he wanted
to try everything on the menu, I will get that
for him.

Speaker 10 (27:37):
I'm not going to deprive him of anything. You know
what I'm saying.

Speaker 4 (27:40):
Because so it's.

Speaker 10 (27:42):
Like if he wanted to.

Speaker 20 (27:43):
Say, you want to have lamb chops, crab legs, whatever.

Speaker 10 (27:46):
The case, may we go ahead and get that.

Speaker 2 (27:48):
You guys like this, look.

Speaker 3 (27:51):
At anybody catch when I came home with, nobody catched it.

Speaker 2 (27:57):
No, I didn't care.

Speaker 20 (27:59):
It.

Speaker 2 (28:00):
Definitely will be talking about it.

Speaker 4 (28:02):
I was in the bank for a money we TV
couldn't even believe it.

Speaker 8 (28:04):
So you put nine thousand dollars that was none of
my money.

Speaker 2 (28:08):
Yeah, it was his home money. He came home with. Oh, Okay, gotcha. Yes,
Derek and Monique are joining us from Love after lock Up.
There's more when we come back. It's way up at
Angela Yee.

Speaker 4 (28:18):
You ing way up with Angela Yee more.

Speaker 2 (28:22):
Now what's up is way up at Angela Yee and
Love after lock Up your favorite couple, Derek and Monique
are here.

Speaker 4 (28:28):
Now.

Speaker 2 (28:28):
Let me ask you this family because it seems like
that causes a lot of issues and the relationship on
both of your sides. Now, Derek, I saw your sister
was on Live and she was trying to say that
you guys, you know, were abusive toward each other physically, right,
So what is the situation with that?

Speaker 4 (28:44):
We ain't putting our hand on each other.

Speaker 3 (28:46):
We we have our argument, we ain't we ain't coming
to physical blow or nothing like that.

Speaker 2 (28:51):
How do you feel about your sisters, because I know
that's a difficult position to be in. Your sisters clearly
don't like Monique. That's a long story and returns. She
clearly doesn't like them because of you know how they
treat her. So how do you move forward like that?

Speaker 4 (29:05):
If it ain't for us, you aren't for me.

Speaker 3 (29:07):
That's what anybody family, friends, whoever because she loved me.
You will see, like my father's side, they love her. Yeah,
she was like she was born in the family. You know,
that's how it is. You know, my mother's son. They
ain't so much embracing the situation because they feel like
I got it tight. They don't know that it's what
I know. They don't know the character. That's what I'm
going on. That's what we're standing on because we haven't

(29:30):
been through a lot. She gave me love and louid
she was real. I just returned that same energy to
my girl.

Speaker 2 (29:36):
And my Nick's sisters don't seem to like you either. Now,
how is that situation? The family sometimes up and down.

Speaker 20 (29:47):
So my sisters don't get too much into my business,
like his sister.

Speaker 2 (29:50):
You ran over one of his sisters. Crazy what you
didn't hear the.

Speaker 10 (30:03):
Like just dramatic.

Speaker 2 (30:04):
Now, what about when you found out that Derek did
cheat though, right, and you did admit that you did cheat.
You stepped out. You said it was early when you
had first gotten home. So how was that for you
getting over that? Because we still he went really hard
to try to win you back.

Speaker 20 (30:17):
This definitely was hard to get over it, just because
I'm like I didn't did so much for this man,
Like we hadn't been through so much, and it's like
a week out, you're already cheating.

Speaker 3 (30:29):
But see them on the flip side, I feel like
we was in the great year. It's that same area
we was in before we got together. And then she
helped me look at that, like, even if we're in
the great, I ain't.

Speaker 4 (30:39):
Cheat so much.

Speaker 10 (30:40):
What's the great?

Speaker 4 (30:41):
What do you mean we like where we had like
and it's like it's and it's like it wasn't clear.

Speaker 2 (30:46):
I felt like and that was the first week out,
you guys, because but.

Speaker 4 (30:49):
It wasn't so much to us.

Speaker 3 (30:50):
Though we love each other, we love but it was
her fact my family, like it was causing strain on
our relationship.

Speaker 4 (30:56):
We weren't working about.

Speaker 3 (30:57):
Each other, we argue because what it took place with
my sister then outside noise, right, and that's why once
we move right along, we'd be good.

Speaker 4 (31:04):
We smile and happy all day, but it's be the
outside noise, right.

Speaker 2 (31:07):
How were you able to forgive him? Though? For that,
I'm working on it.

Speaker 10 (31:12):
I haven't completely got over.

Speaker 2 (31:15):
When you guys do get married, you think your sisters
will come to the wedding.

Speaker 10 (31:18):
They're not invited.

Speaker 4 (31:19):
They want to want to for their own reason. They
want to.

Speaker 2 (31:24):
They want to now the first of yeah, what was
that like? The first night together?

Speaker 4 (31:29):
It was epy, be honest with him together, ain't gonna lie.
They ain't catch that. Y'all caught that. I ain't catch that.
You cried out the joy of being home.

Speaker 3 (31:44):
Man, it was everything right where I left, where I
was at, where I know where to go. I couldn't
believe I crowed in front of it, but it was
just so real because I know what we've been through
with what we got.

Speaker 4 (31:55):
All the people understand what we got. We shown each
other every day what we got.

Speaker 2 (31:59):
So now find me and career wise, what happens next?

Speaker 4 (32:03):
We build a team.

We're trying to explore our own show, doing that my fitness.
I'm going to school and be a personal train or
physical therapist something of that. And I got some things
like open up my own ventures with podcasts and being
active for my community nonprofit like I got an organization

some opportunities to play some partsonal movies.

so we could come back from New York.

Speaker 2 (32:58):
All right, Well, bood to Life after lock Up and
then I can't wait to see what you guys have
coming up next. But I did want to bring y'all
up here just because people act like this relationship isn't
real for some reason. But Monique and Derek love after
lock up, life after lock up, and then marriage after
lock up. We can kids after lock up, babies after
lock up, and then yes, speaking.

Speaker 4 (33:20):
That's what's been going on. That's working for us too.

Speaker 2 (33:23):
All right, Well, thank y'all so much for coming through.
I appreciate you guys really traveled here to do this
interview to give us this exclusive for the first time,
and hopefully it was a good experience for you.

Speaker 10 (33:32):
Yes, thank you for having us appreciate you.

Speaker 2 (33:34):
Thank you all right. Well, as you can see, Derek
and Monique did not work out. If you've been following
on the blogs, if you've been following this show, you
can see that they're both single apparently, all right. And
when we come back, we actually have a flashback to
when Monique checked back in after the breakup to give
us some details. It's way up with Angela yee.

Speaker 4 (33:53):
Oh you way up with Angela yee.

Speaker 2 (33:56):
And we have a follow up with our girl Monique
from Love after lock Up? Hey, Monique? How you doing?

Speaker 6 (34:02):
I'm goad? How are you all?

Speaker 2 (34:04):
I'm a good but we really mean how are you doing?
Because you've been through a lot since we had you
and Derek up here.

Speaker 20 (34:11):
Yeah, I'm doing okay, still trying to find peace within the.

Speaker 2 (34:14):
Twenty and I know you guys had broken up gotten
back together. Do you think this is it now?

Speaker 1 (34:21):
Yes?

Speaker 6 (34:21):
I definitely think this is it?

Speaker 2 (34:23):
So what was the final straw for you?

Speaker 6 (34:26):
Just one? So it was a really tossical relationship.

Speaker 20 (34:30):
I was out of cleepand for like four months, and
you know he has a damn one addition, it got
to the point to like where he was stealing money
from me, and it was a messive violence going on
between both of us in the relationship.

Speaker 6 (34:45):
So I just started to feel like, you know, this.

Speaker 20 (34:49):
Relationship no longer like serves me or I'm not happy,
So I just decided to leave.

Speaker 2 (34:56):
You know, question when you came up here, right, we
felt like an even Meno said, yeah, they really love
each other. What at that time do you feel like
you were still trying to cover for certain things and
try to make it seem like things were good or
were their problems then or did that not happen till
later at that.

Speaker 6 (35:15):
Point of the relationship, we really were good.

Speaker 10 (35:18):
When is the last time you spoke to him?

Speaker 20 (35:20):
The last time I spoke to him was two days ago.
He'll call me act like nothing ever happened.

Speaker 2 (35:25):
That's like sometimes guy.

Speaker 20 (35:28):
So he called me like talking and laughing on the phone,
and he told.

Speaker 6 (35:33):
Me like he didn't like my blode here.

Speaker 2 (35:34):
But I was just like, okay, that's like that's what
you call me for. Okay, So you're still taking his
calls and having conversations with him.

Speaker 20 (35:42):
No, I'm not still really taking his calls, Like he
calls me private, which I don't know why, because.

Speaker 6 (35:48):
Yeah, he changed his.

Speaker 20 (35:49):
Punover, so he'll call me private sometimes I answer, sometimes
I don't.

Speaker 2 (35:55):
So he was with a new woman, So let's talk
about that situation, and is that like his new girlfriend
and is that somebody that you knew he was dealing
with when you've caught him cheating on you in the past.

Speaker 20 (36:08):
When I loved Cleveland. Later on the night, he was
in the club with some girl that's the same girl
he played.

Speaker 6 (36:13):
He let her that day.

Speaker 20 (36:15):
He told me she was part of the entourage when
he got caught with her in the club.

Speaker 2 (36:19):
We're talking to Monique, you know her from a love
after lock up and life after lock up with Derek.
So if he wanted to get back together with you
and made an effort, is that something that you're open to.

Speaker 20 (36:31):
No, I don't think so, because we're like really at
the point of no return. It's just both of our ends,
we both said and the crazy things to one another.

Speaker 2 (36:39):
So you know, I was the best you've been outside,
So what are you up to?

Speaker 20 (36:44):
Not so really, I'm just more so like trying to
find peace, happiness, getting back to my own self because
I was so unhappy in that relationship for so long,
it's just me trying to get my life back together.

Speaker 2 (36:58):
Do you feel like he loved you?

Speaker 6 (37:01):
I feel like at one point he did really love me.

Speaker 2 (37:03):
And you really loved him for sure. Yeah, Now what
about Okay, his sister had said previously, Elizabeth has said
that he beats you, and then there were some allegations
that you guys had against each other, and you said
when we first started this conversation that you both have
put hands on each other. He's been denying it, but
then he's posting video of you, you know, with your

(37:27):
hands around his neck, and you have videos that you've
posted also, So what is really going on because that's
concerning Well, I'm.

Speaker 20 (37:34):
Dren person that out of prison, Derek was like really angry.
It was tiunds to where like he would just be
aggressive with me and I really didn't do anything back
when after a while, like I started like.

Speaker 6 (37:46):
Sticking up for myself.

Speaker 20 (37:47):
So that's when it started to become like mutual combat.

Speaker 8 (37:52):
So what do you mean when you say he was
aggressive towards you, like he was hitting you, he was
getting physical with you.

Speaker 6 (37:57):
Yeah, he started getting physical with me.

Speaker 2 (38:00):
But when you came back pair you said that had
never happened. That was you covering for him.

Speaker 6 (38:04):
Yeah, that was covering.

Speaker 2 (38:06):
Has he ever apologized for anything or does he still
believe that he's not done anything wrong.

Speaker 6 (38:13):
No, he hasn't apologized.

Speaker 4 (38:15):
You know.

Speaker 2 (38:15):
It's interesting because I don't feel like I see you
have a lot of emotion when it comes to this.

Speaker 20 (38:22):
I mean, I'm definitely hurt, you know, because I did
put my all into this relationship and for it's an
in fold, like it's one thing for us to go
through what we go through, but it's like when it's
made public and you're going through a heartbreak for the
world to see, and then they have their own opinions
and they judge like it's hard too.

Speaker 6 (38:41):
So I'm rarely just trying to move.

Speaker 20 (38:44):
Forward and not really dwell on being sad because I
look at it as a blessing because I know the
type of person that I am, I know the type
of woman I am, and it's like I didn't deserve
to be with somebody like that, and I don't blame myself,
and I think that's why I'm feeling it will because
I know it was nothing.

Speaker 2 (39:02):
That I did A long Well, we are praying for you.
