Speaker 2 (00:31):
Welcome to this
week's Indie Artist Music Hustle
with Blind Intelligence.
I'm your host, ms Ronnie, whereI always seek to give you
exquisite cranial repertoire,and there has been so much going
on this past week and you know,sometimes I look through
YouTube and see what's going onwith people's different takes
(00:55):
are on certain situations and Iknow that a lot of people who
are fans of love and hip-hopAtlanta know about what is going
on with the Frost family rightnow and I'm not going to speak
on the actual tragedy of what'sgoing on, but I'm just wondering
(01:19):
how both sides are feeling andhow domestic violence know
affects both sides of the family, both the victim and the
perpetrator.
But one excuse me, one I Wouldsay, reoccurring thing that I
(01:40):
keep seeing is that Rashida hasbeen karma and I want to speak a
little bit about that, becauseit was just so ironic that K
Michelle had a concert and shehad wrote this song, but it's
called Rashida Got Bags orsomething like that, because she
(02:01):
talked about the bags.
That was under Rashida's eyesand at the same time I think
Rashida responded and said thathow she lived rent-free in her
mind.
But I also last week spoke ofthe Liongate portal and things
that were wrong would resurface.
And things that were wrongwould resurface, you know, the
(02:26):
universe would make it right.
No-transcript.
(02:50):
And I do remember that show andI remember Kay Michelle sitting
there crying I mean literallycrying and Rashida sat there and
looked at her and then she saidI honestly don't believe her.
I'm friends, good friends, withboth him and his wife, and so
(03:12):
it's like she totallydisregarded that that may have
and that she has feelings.
So I've done a little researchand it says in the intricate web
of life, the universe oftenreveals its sense of justice
(03:37):
through the concept of karma,especially in cases like Rashida
Frost.
Initially, rashida's disbeliefin her castmate's claim of
domestic violence illustrates atroubling disregard for the
victim's experience, and we sawthat by the way that she just
sat there and looked.
By prioritizing her friendshipwith the accused and his wife,
(04:01):
she not only undermined thevictim's truth but also set a
precedent for dismissing thegravity of this domestic
violence.
The universe, in its mysteriousways, appears to issue karma by
placing Rashida in a situationwhere her own family is affected
by the she dismissed from KMichelle to get help for your
(04:26):
relationship.
Then you know it's probablytime to part ways way before you
(04:47):
got to that show, but I'm goingto leave that at that.
But the situation is as her ownson becomes embroiled in a
tragic incident involving themurder of his sister's boyfriend
, the harsh reality of domesticviolence becomes undeniable.
(05:07):
This situation reflects thecynical nature of karma.
It serves as a reminder thatignoring the suffering of others
can lead to dire consequenceswithin one's own circle.
The planetary positions duringthis turmoil suggest that
Rashida's past judgments are nowmanifesting as personal crisis,
(05:29):
indicating that the universehas a way of balancing scales
when injustice occurs.
This is my opinion.
(05:51):
Rashida had numerous occasionsto apologize to Kay Michelle,
even if she didn't believe her.
Even her response, because Kaywas like you cried with me, you
listened to me, you hugged on me, but then the whole time I'm
pouring my heart out to you.
You don't believe me.
I'm pouring my heart out to you, you don't believe me.
And so I think that that's thereason why it's so close to home
(06:15):
right now.
Tarot readings often illustratethis phenomenon through cards
like the tower, symbolizingsudden upheaval and chaos.
In Rashida's case, the towerreflects the fallout from her
previous dismissive stancetowards domestic violence.
This moment of reckoning couldlead to a profound personal
growth, urging her to confrontthe realities of her past
(06:36):
actions and beliefs.
The universe, through thiskarmic lesson, may be prompting
Rashida to reassess her valuesand the impact of her choices on
her family.
In essence, the universe is notmerely punishing Rashida.
Rather, it's presenting anopportunity for reflection and
(06:56):
transformation.
The painful events surroundingher family can serve as a
catalyst for change, pushing hertowards greater empathy and
understanding of thecomplexities of domestic
violence.
By evolving from thisexperience, rashida can
contribute to a broaderconversation about the
importance of believing andsupporting victims, breaking the
(07:20):
cycle of violence that hastouched her life.
Ultimately, the interplay ofkarma and personal growth
illustrates the fundamentaltruth that the universe operates
on the principle of balance andjustice.
By facing the consequences ofher previous inaction, when I
(07:40):
don't understand how somebody'sin there crying and saying to
the whole world hey, thishappened to me and you have the
nerve to say I don't believe youand stuck with it and stuck by
it, even though you saw thingsthat happened with your friends
and I get to that because I'mnot going to only be touching on
(08:03):
domestic violence, but how itaffects the family, but how it
also affects friends Rashida mayemerge stronger and more aware,
embodying changes necessary toprevent further cycles of
violence in her life andcommunity, in her life and
(08:25):
community.
So domestic violence,especially when you care about
somebody, it affects the wholefamily.
I have a degree in counselingand I've worked many years in
social work, and domesticviolence sometimes contributes
to other neglects, especially ofkids.
(08:49):
But I'm going to talk a littlebit about how domestic violence
affects family and friends.
Domestic violence has profoundand multifaceted effects on the
victim's immediate family andfriends.
Firstly, the emotional toll issignificant.
Family members often experiencefeelings of helplessness, anger
(09:12):
and sadness as they witness thesuffering of a loved one.
This emotional burden can leadto strained relationships and
breakdown in communications withthe family unit.
Children in particular maysuffer long-term psychological
effects, including anxiety,depression and behavioral issues
, as they absorb the trauma ofdomestic violence in their home
(09:34):
environment.
And not saying that that's whathappened in this case, but I do
know that one of Kelsey'sfriends said something about how
Kurt, which is Rashida'shusband and the father of both
of the children involved, thathe was tired and that he washed
(09:58):
his hands of it.
So that just leads me tobelieve that it was way more
going on than what we see andwhat they already knew.
Furthermore, the friends of thevictim may find themselves in
difficult positions, and herfriend did say that they may
feel compelled to support thevictim while also grappling with
(10:19):
their own feelings of angertowards the perpetrator.
This duality can create riftsin friendships, as friends may
struggle to understand thevictim's choices, particularly
if they continue to engage withthe abuser.
The social support network canbecome fragmented, which may
(10:39):
further isolate the victim andexacerbate their situation.
That means make it worse.
Now the effects of domesticviolence extend to the
perpetrator's friends and familyas well.
They may be faced with theuncomfortable reality of knowing
that someone they care about iscapable of such violence.
This can lead to a range ofresponses, including denial,
(11:03):
anger or even attempts torationalize the perpetrator's
behavior, and we see that inwhat I can't remember T Hood's
family how they're so upset withKelsey, how they're not saying
anything.
That's old, that's old.
It don't matter if it was old.
It happened.
She was left with bruises and Ido understand that there is a
(11:26):
difference between a domesticdispute, domestic battery and
domestic violence.
You might get in a fight withsomebody and that's not a normal
occurrence, but domesticviolence occurs normally.
And she has more than one video.
That means there's ten timesmore that we have not seen.
Friends and family may alsofeel compelled to choose sides,
(11:53):
which can lead to socialisolation for both the
perpetrator and the victim,reinforcing the cycle of
violence.
Violence.
Statistically, domesticviolence often ends tragically,
with a significant number ofcases resulting in death,
particularly for women.
According to various studies,approximately one in four women
(12:15):
experience severe intimatepartner physical violence, and a
notable percentage of theseincidents results in fatality.
This stark reality underscoresthe urgency of addressing
domestic violence not just as apersonal issue, but as a
societal concern that demandsimmediate action.
The enabling behavior of thevictim's family can
(12:39):
significantly impact the dynamicof domestic violence, when
family members support theperpetrator, whether through
denial, minimization, such as wehave seen denial he was a nice
boy Now, I'm not judging hischaracter, but I'm just going by
some of the things that I haveseen Minimization Well, if that
(13:02):
happened, look at the clothes,it didn't happen right now or
outright justification for theviolence.
She was always um, uh, fightinghim, coming on to him, starting
with him.
I heard that it creates anenvironment where the victim
feels further trapped, like whenKelsey texts the guy's mom and
(13:26):
all she said was okay, thanks.
Making it more challenging forthem to seek help or escape the
abusive relationship.
The implications of domesticviolence ripple through the
lives of not just the victim,but also their families and
friends.
Understanding these dynamics iscrucial in addressing the
broader societal implications ofdomestic violence and finding
(13:50):
effective ways to supportvictims while holding
perpetrators accountable.
And that's for the family,that's for the situation with
Kate, michelle and Rashida.
You still have to hold theperpetrator accountable.
Raising awareness, providingeducation and fostering open
(14:21):
dialogue about the effects ofdomestic violence can empower
families and communities to takea stand against this pervasive
issue issue.
So if somebody's, I remember Iworked for a daycare when I was
younger and I worked where theafter-school kids come and the
husband and wife owned thedaycare and they would come up
(14:42):
there to argue, and later on Irealized that she didn't want to
argue behind closed doors, thatshe wanted a witness around,
and so they were arguing, youknow.
So I would move the kids toanother room Come on, we're
going to go in here and it waslike they were following every
room that I went to.
(15:03):
She was following behind me andshe was like, why don't you go
and tell her?
Tell her, tell her how you'llbe whooping my ass and I was
like I wasn't saying that sheneeded to keep it behind closed
(15:23):
doors.
But, ma'am, you're at work andyou're in front of the kids and
when people talk about domesticviolence, they think about and
kids witnessing, they thinkabout immediate family.
I don't condone violence.
I always tell people I feellike fighting is beneath me, but
I'm not going to let you comeand do bodily harm to me and I'm
not going to defend myself.
(15:44):
So I saw one of the videoswhere Kelsey wasn't even at the
point of defending herself and Ifeel like that it no, this is
just me and everybody.
Deal with things the way theydeal with.
Because I feel like, you know,sometimes I'm, I'm my in my
heart, I'm a little strongerthan that.
(16:05):
I'm a Leo and my moon is Gemini.
So for those who know, but toget to the point where I have to
physically fight you back,we're done.
I don't care if you're a familymember, if you're my significant
(16:25):
other, if you're a parent, youknow, and I understand as a
parent, sometimes as a youngerchild, you feel like that you
don't have rights.
But yes, you can speak out.
Yes, someone will make a report, someone will come out and
investigate and it's up to youat that time whether you're
going to tell what you know.
(16:46):
And you know that might open upwhere you have to go stay with
another family member or youmight not have a family member,
you might have to go into fostercare, I mean.
So that opened up a whole lotof different things.
But even children are affectedby domestic violence and I don't
think that she had any children, but it affected his, her
(17:08):
sibling.
Nobody wants to see somebodythat they love or care about
being mistreated and she evensaid Kelsey said I don't get
anybody involved because I knowI'll be right back with them.
She's going to need more of thetime to grieve because I'm sure
(17:31):
all the posts that she made shedon't know what mindset she in.
She's still trying to appeasethese people.
It was like it appears that shewent against her brother for
talking to the family.
But sometimes you say things totry to keep the peace and I'm
sure that she's in severaldifferent mind frames right now.
(17:54):
So I think that peoplecriticizing her at this very
moment is not good for her and Ihope that her family is keeping
her away from social media.
But I just wanted to just speaka little bit how ironic it was
that K Michelle decided toperform, Rashida Got Bags and
(18:18):
Rashida having a response to it,and then all of this happening
and it's the very thing thatthey had beef with right in her
face.
And as of now, I don't eventhink Rashida still has
apologized to Kate Michelle andI think that I know she got like
a new show that came out.
I think that all that's goingon right now is gonna affect
(18:41):
that, because I don't know ifit's true or not.
So this is allegedly because Ionly seen it like on one um one
page where there was a problemwith love and hip-hop and they
decided to quit because they hadbeen shopping a show um around
(19:02):
and I guess they finally got theshow and had filmed it or
whatever.
So they're actually not withlove and hip hop anymore.
They want to focus more onbusiness.
I think that this is going toovershadow that.
If that is true, I think thatthis is going to overshadow that
, and this is just me and myopinion Until she make things
(19:24):
right with Kate Michelle.
What Celie's saying?
