Yandy Smith-Harris Explains Why She Doesn’t Have to Act a Fool on TV + Talks Possibly Quitting LHHNY

In a recent interview with her publication Everything Girls Love, Yandy has some words for the folks who doubt she can remain faithful while Mendeecees is locked up.

She says:

“To the naysayers, I would say just sit back and watch.

“Let me show you how it’s done.”

On why she doesn’t have to turn up for the cameras to keep her spot on LHHNY:

“My normal is more on display than anything else because I don’t have to turn up for the camera. My check stays the same whether I sit or play chess with my husband…I sit and smooch up with my daughter. I still get a check and my check is the same if I go and throw a bottle at somebody…throw a drink, jump across the table. It makes me no difference and I don’t have to do that.

“I respect my husband. I respect my children not to do that.”

 

There’s been rumors floating around suggesting this will be the last season of LHHNY for Yandy and Mendeecees. However, Yandy denies they are leaving the show:

“If they keep the checks coming. That little birdie lied, I never said that.”

In related news, Mendeecees officially checked into prison today to serve his eight year sentence (he doesn’t think he will have to serve the full eight years though). He wrote an open letter before departing on Facebook:

I know for some of you it feels like we’ve been here before, it’s the never ending story or some of you are probably so sick of hearing about me and this case that you completely tapped out and just don’t give a F#%k anymore, maybe never did (For you, stop reading now and please unfollow Asap). This message is for all those that have supported me, grew with me, changed hearts, minds and perspectives with me. When I was young, hungry and closed minded I acted as such. Now I’m wiser but it’s wisdom born through pain, so that means enduring this will just make me wiser and stronger. But who would have thought “Young DeeCee” that wore the ripped up worn shoes, that went to school on sugar sandwiches and borrowed rice would ever have a voice to speak to the masses. I was the one with nothing, no push to go to school, no dinner on the table at night, no kiss goodbye in the morning, all I had was me for awhile. Just Me, plane ole me ( I don’t have college degrees, a huge resume of internships and jobs) would be able to influence a generation. Who would have thought that my family would be a beacon of hope and love through out a community that’s so often taught family dysfunction, dissension and disloyalty. Men, step up! I’ve been there, where you are and I’ve learned in the end It truly is FAMILY OVER EVERYTHING! Fathers, go raise men! Men to lead their family. Men to do the right thing. No matter what you had to do or may still be doing raise them babies right! Also, when you raise a man you teach an individual but when you raise a woman you build a nation. Protect our nation builders fellas! I could go on for days but I want y’all to know I’m good ? but good. My family is strong, real strong, so their good. Keep @theharrisbunch in your prayers and I will keep you all updated through my brother running my page. Be blessed, keep in contact, build and encourage each other, stop the hating and see you when I return. ??
