K. Michelle got a lot of flak after she revealed she was romantically involved with Idris Elba a few years ago.
There were a lot of people who just did not believe her.
And K. Michelle feels like black women in particular were very hurtful towards her about it.
Here’s what she had to say during her appearance on TV One’s “Uncensored”:
I think that what hurt, black women, black women was like, ‘She’s so ghetto. Why he date her?’
What you do not understand is everything he went through, from the passing of his father all the way down, I was the one that was there. I was never hid. People just never assumed.
The singer and realty star also took issue with the fact that Idris never stood up for her publicly after she confirmed her album, “Anybody Wanna Buy a Heart,” was about Idris.
It just got to the point for me, I miss my friend more than anything. And I felt like he didn’t defend me. I feel like when people were calling me a liar, again, about my relationship…I’ve been sitting here with this man for like what nine months. I just could not believe we were spending so much time together. He just did not come out and say, ‘Stop attacking her.’
Or he didn’t come out and say, ‘This is my friend. I know about this album. I know all of this.’ So I feel like I’m not over that. I feel like you picked looking like a great guy over someone who had your back through everything.
When you didn’t get nominated for Mandela…when you cried, everything, I had your back. And you didn’t have mine in the midst of everybody tweeting me and attacking me…Calling me a liar. You just sat there and let them do it.
She is sure that his silence revealed that he was never a true friend.
So I wish him the best but to me, he showed that he wasn’t my friend.
