Listen Wendy, I’ve never denied (it). I just felt like in the promotional campaign, to go so hard…So I let the song speak for itself.  I’ve let it go. I’m starting with the past and going into the present. This is like the beginning of the story. I know there’s more to the story.

This week, the always boisterous K.Michelle stopped by Power 105′s ‘The Breakfast Club’. The Real Housewives of Atlanta reality star chats about what motivated her to throw wax on castmate Rasheeda, if she’s REALLY dating Ochocinco and if she’s ever been intimate with her mentor, R.Kelly. Peep a few excerpts below.

On why she’s leaving Love & Hip Hop Atlanta:

 It’s just time to go, I got some other stuff poppin off. They’re actually bringing me to LHHNY

On if she has her own show: 

I do have my own show. Love and Hip Hop Atlanta was a great stepping stone. It’ll kinda be my own show within Love & Hip Hop New York.

On Kirk approaching her about throwing wax on his wife:

Like, Golden Girl came up in there tryna talk to me. He felt some type of way. Look, you run up-get done up. I sat still. I don’t wanna hurt (nobody), but when you fight somebody, you fight them. You not gon’ run up and yank anything from my head.

On if she agrees with Rihanna, that NBA aller J.R. Smith is ‘thirsty’: 

I don’t know. When it come to him, I said my peace on that right there. No, he’s not gon’ hit it. Nah, it’s good. I’m good on that. That was something I went through. I tried, I failed, I realized.

On rumors that she’s dating Ochocinco and if he bought her a pet monkey:  

He did. Chad approached me and he tried to date me or whatever. I was like, ‘No I dont want no shoes. I want a monkey’. No, we have not slept together. I’ve been through a lot with this dating thing. We are friends and I think that’s what it needs to be. Now, I hafta pace it and we are going to dinner and we are being friends and we are talking on the phone. It’s not time for that.

On if she was really bisexual at one point in her life: 

Yeah. I’ve sang about it. I thought I was gay for three months. The b*tch actually jumped on my car. Scratched it up with her shoe and it was wrap.

If she was ever intimate with mentor, R.Kelly: 

Umm, R.Kelly’s my mentor. You know, me and R.Kelly our relationship, he’s very dear to my heart. You know that’s not his job to do that.

If Rasheeda is pregnant by Scrappy:

I don’t think that. That lesbian relationship, I have nothing to do with. I don’t know anything about it.

This is absolutely tragic news. For the last 12 hours, most of the country has been glued to the television, praying for the families and community affected by the tornado that hit Oklahoma. A massive tornado at least a half mile-wide with 200 mph winds, ripped through Oklahoma City’s suburbs. As of Tuesday morning, the tornado had killed at least 24 people including at least 7 children, flattening entire neighborhoods and destroying an elementary school with a direct blow as children and teachers huddled inside.

The area that was hit the hardest, is called Moore, a community of 41,000 people about 10 miles south of Oklahoma City. Block after block lay in ruins. Homes were crushed into piles of broken wood. Cars and trucks were left crumpled on the roadside. Search and rescue crews were looking for anyone who may be trapped in the rubble.

President Barack Obama has declared a major disaster in Oklahoma and has ordered federal aid to supplement state and local recovery efforts. Individuals and business owners affected by the disaster may apply for federal grants for temporary housing and home repairs, low-cost loans to cover uninsured property losses and other programs. The Federal Emergency Management Agency has sent a special team to Oklahoma’s emergency operations center to help out and dispatch resources.

Crews continued their desperate search-and-rescue effort throughout the night at Plaza Towers Elementary. Children from the school were among the dead, but several students were pulled out alive earlier Monday from under a collapsed wall and other heaps of mangled debris. Rescue workers passed the survivors down a human chain of parents and neighborhood volunteers. Parents carried children in their arms to a triage center in the parking lot. Some of the students looked dazed while others appeared terrified.

The National Weather Service issued an initial finding that the tornado was an EF-4 on the enhanced Fujita scale, the second most-powerful type of twister. Monday’s powerful tornado loosely followed the path of a killer twister that slammed the region in May 1999. Please keep those who lost loved ones in your thoughts and prayers.

UPDATED: As of 1:20 p.m. EST, the Associated Press reports:

The state medical examiner’s office has revised the death toll from the tornado to 24 people, including nine children. Authorities had said initially that as many as 51 people were dead, including 20 children. 237 injuries have been reported.

They are still searching for victims.

This week, more entertainment ensued, as reality TV junkies took in episode 5 of Love & Hip Hop Atlanta.

This week, we were introduced to Mimi Faust’s new boyfriend, Nikko; paid a doctor’s visit with Rasheeda; met aspiring rapper Che Mack and watched Erica Dixon officially call her engagement off with Lil Scrappy.

We also were caught in the middle of a lie, between either Karlie Redd or Benzino, while the two told different versions of seeing or not seeing a Joseline Hernandez sex tape. Peep the full episode below.

Now, here are a few behind-the-scene spoilers. Don’t read, if you’re not interested in a bit of ear hustlin’ news:

—> Remember the ‘flower’ incident, when K.Michelle hit Mimi Faust backstage at her NYC show? That entire beef started from Mimi’s new man, Nikko. Next week, K and Nikko get into an argument, on the set of his video. Long story short, K isn’t a fan of Nikko being an aspiring artist and be IN his actual video. She also later questions his sexuality. This in turn, creates a gap in the relationship between K and Mimi, which ultimately ends up with them beefing (i.e. flower assault) and making up at the beginning of the season.

—> Later this season, Kirk makes a comment about the child of Rasheeda’s unborn child. In short, Rasheeda is currently pregnant and she and Kirk are not together. In fact, we’re told that he’s dating another woman. If you follow him on Instagram, you’ll notice him in a lot of photos with Bambi, of Basketball Wives LA. Bambi now lives in Atlanta. We’re told that Kirk and Bambi are not dating, but he is romantically involved with another Atlanta woman, outside of Rasheeda.

—> Erica and Lil Scrappy are absolutely on the outs. We’ve heard rumors that Scrappy is back with Shay Johnson. We interviewed Shay last week and she was pretty tight-lipped about Scrappy (as she was limited in what she could say with the show on). However, her and Scrappy are often seen together in Atlanta. What’s more is that Shay is dating a new man, that isn’t a rapper.
