In a recent write-up for the New York Post to promote her book, “Bigger Than Me,” Monyetta opens up about her split with Ne-Yo and explains why she still feels so betrayed:
I was so busy caring for two young children, I just assumed Ne-Yo had followed through and had gotten the vasectomy. I trusted him so much that it never even crossed my mind that he hadn’t gone through with it.
But then, in June 2013 — just two months before our August wedding — Ne-Yo called.
“I don’t want to be monogamous anymore,” he told me — in other words, he wanted to break up. A week later, we had a deep conversation face to face. I was so hurt and distraught; my parents have been together for 44 years, and I always assumed our relationship would last for the rest of our lives. The thought of him and my kids not living under the same roof was devastating.
A week after our split, Ne-Yo posted the news on Instagram. It wasn’t long until VH1 producers called and asked me to join the reality show “Atlanta Exes,” which followed me along with other ex-wives of Hollywood stars, such as Tameka [Foster], Usher’s ex.
Then, in 2014, when Ne-Yo released his music video for “Money Can’t Buy,” I found out that he was dating the video’s vixen, Crystal Renay, known for posting racy photos on Instagram.
My world came crashing down all over again: I had tried to understand that he didn’t want to be monogamous, but then he went and found a different woman whom he was ready to be monogamous with?
It hurts to see them parade their love on social media. They recently married, on Feb. 20, and Crystal gave birth to their first son. She seems like a nice girl, but I would be worried if I were she. How does she know that he’s not going to do the same thing to her that he did to me?
Adding to the pain is knowing that if I find another man to love, I may not be able to start a family with him. I’m too scared to go to a doctor to find out if there’s anything they can do about it. Because I do want to get married someday, and if my future husband does not have kids, I will want to have his children.
Monyetta goes on to say that she now feels like she loved too hard and didn’t make the best decisions at the time, but she finds good in knowing her story has resonated with so many other women.
Ain’t he gay though?
It’s a sad situation but it happens all the time. That’s why women can never give too much of ourselves to a man we aren’t married to.
Co-sign.
Hell even if you’re married, you still can’t. .
I didn’t know she wrote a book. NeYo did her dirty but she has to move on for her own good. He obviously didn’t appreciate her anyway.
He was wrong but sometimes you can love a person with everything you have and it doesn’t make them feel the same about you. All you can do is thank God it’s over because we all deserve to be with someone who truly does love us back. It may hurt now but it’s a blessing it’s over. Ne-Yo doesn’t seem very loyal anyway.
Might as well get paid…doing it anyway, might as well get paid. The new female national anthem has moved some to have to decide between being THOT or a straight up prostitute only now the girlfriend prostitute is more popular than ever. If you are really good…he may marry you but it is only to make you property he owns while seeking out other conquest. Men have little respect for the things they paid for like cars or jewelry or females so Ms. New Booty always looks good.
Damn I need her to move the f-ck on. Ne-Yo ain’t sh-t and she can do much better any damn way. In the future you don’t ever make a permanent decision for a n-gga you ain’t married to.
I can’t even get mad at her for trying to make some money from a messed up situation.
What happened to the female population that caused so many to become THOT’s
Whose only goal in life is to GET PAID and if I hear “might as well get paid if you doing it anyway” riddle me this…if you are cracking that much with several men
I still feel so bad for her. She was just so blindsided by it all.
I understand she is hurt but she still needs to move on. Did Neyo do her wrong yes he did but it’s time to let it go he is married with another child. It’s a hard lesson to learn but this is why you never give a man all of you when he won’t fully commit we see this over and over. Monyetta needs to realize her worth realize Neyo is not the man for her and she deserves better.
Girl…
Although I don’t know if hes gay. I really think he has had issues since that first chick dogged him and the kid wasn’t his. Doesn’t excuse him being a scumbag but you can tell he has issues. Maybe she’s not ready to let go yet but he will be the best thing she never had.
She was basically just someone in the meantime for him that he knocked up in the process. He never loved her. When he met the woman he loved, he married her. Happens a lot.
Karma is what it is..let’s see how long this last..
Never loose yourself or identity for a man.
