La’Berrick Williams is discussed in Destiny Payton-Williams’ recent interview.
Destiny Payton-Williams didn’t open up much about her divorce on “Love & Marriage: Huntsville.” So viewers have wondered what really happened. Plus, they began to wonder if Destiny couldn’t say a whole lot for legal reasons. Interestingly enough, she discussed her split from La’Berrick Williams during an interview with the “Ooh Ladies First Panel.”
She said that La’Berrick allegedly left the show hoping that she would be fired, “He was more of a proponent of the show than I was. And when he walked away, it was because he wanted them to stop filming with me.”
Destiny continued, “And as far as the divorce and being candid about it, I did agree to sign a…in our divorce, I did agree to not talk about him on the show in lieu of some other things. I wish I wouldn’t have done that because I’m sick of people asking me about it. I wanna move on.”
She also gave a timeline, “So we were together a total of 5 years before we got married. Our first year together we were in the same space. And then I moved to Nashville and it was long distance. We saw each other once a week. Then we got engaged.” Destiny added, “We were engaged for almost 2 years and then we were married for 2 years…And we were going through a divorce for 9 months at that time.”
Destiny once again said she was served three weeks after giving birth, “He did serve me papers when my son was 3 weeks old. I was standing in the driveway when I received papers. And we were still living in the same house. So I walked in the house and acted like I didn’t even receive it.”
Destiny Payton-Williams said she couldn’t say much for legal reasons.
She said she’s glad he did pull the trigger, “I was actually speaking with an attorney weeks prior, but God didn’t tell me it was something I needed to move forward with just yet. But I’m happy it happened the way it did because I really don’t believe in divorce. I would probably have tried to stick it out as bad as it had gotten, I probably would have fought through it.”
Destiny didn’t respond immediately, “It was so many things going on in my life that I didn’t even respond to my divorce initially. He got a default judgment and got everything he asked for.” She continued, “Our attorneys ended up talking and we decided to reconcile. So we got back together.”
There were consequences to her not responding, “He got everything he wanted, including full custody of our child at one point in time because if you don’t respond to a divorce, they give them what they asked for.”
Carlos King was allegedly dragged into their legal issues, “But legally, he sent them documents too. And Carlos told me on that stage that he received documentation from him as well. So we both were pigeonholed on what we could say.”
Destiny Payton-Williams believes she may have emasculated her ex-husband.
She broke down why she believes La’Berrick filed, “Well I told him in the hospital that if we continued like this that we’re not going to make it. He thought it was a threat. And I wasn’t threatening to divorce him. I was saying we cannot continue like this, we’re not going to make it. And so I think he was trying to beat me to the punch.”
Destiny has a theory about what went wrong, “I was seeking a separation because I didn’t want to jump into divorce. I wanted it to be separate because it was like too much. And when I say Covid was a big factor, it was because we were long-distance then came into a house and we literally couldn’t leave. So if we had a disagreement or whatever, we were stuck with each other. And normally when we got into a disagreement, I would just hop in the car and leave and go to Nashville. Or Atlanta or whatever.”
She continued, “So I got to a space where I did not feel protected or provided for and I started moving as a married, single woman as far as making decisions in my life…how I moved. And that I realize emasculated him.”
Destiny also responded to fans who have accused her of lying about relying on public assistance, “So I wasn’t getting child support. There’s a program…there’s a couple things you can get where they will give you a certain amount if the father is not paying child support and things like that. So it doesn’t mean I’m out here in the welfare line. It just means that I got a little bit of help in the beginning of my divorce. Who wanna lie about that?”
There are always holes in Destiny’s stories.
……confuddled.
She didn’t want to take his last name. But by her own admission she never committed to the marriage.
Destiny shouldn’t have made it sound like you were on welfare. She allowed people to believe that. When asked about a PPL she said no. So she ĺead people to think the worst.
I think Destiny did what she had to do for her new baby. Public assistance of any type is for anyone to get through those uncertain times.
Everyone contributes to it thru your taxes so yes get it!
Whatever is whatever…true or false. I don’t live her life. I just go by what I watch. Not shrugging my shoulders about any of them, it’s tv.
Why does everything she says sounds bogus? Sorry but she sounds like she lying and trying to find a story that most people will believe or make her sound interesting.
