[EXCLUSIVE] Love & Hip Hop’s Erica Jean Says ‘Fix My Life’ Made Co-Parenting With Saigon EXTREMELY Worse: He Hasn’t Seen His Son In Months!
abuse and the things I was enduring in our relationship. So, I was kind of hoping that she would kind of maybe help me out in that way where she can kind of bring it to light–the things that he was doing because at the time we were trying to work on our relationship but then later on I was just trying to co-parent with him without his verbal attacks and all the things I was going through. So, I don’t think the show was effective in that way. I think that it was a very one-sided show and I think that Saigon manipulated Iyanla for whatever reason to kind of put it on me but at the end of the day, I guess it is what it is.
theJasmineBRAND: Have you spoke to Iyanla since it aired? Has she reached out to you?
Erica Jean: I have and she definitely told me the reasons why she kind of did what she did. At the end of the day, that still is a show too and they have to have ratings and I think that producers never seen the show. Maybe they thought that I was the problem and they wanted to somewhat make an example out of me but it backfired because I don’t think I was ever was the problem in the relationship, if anything I was always trying to make the relationship work. So, Iyanla reached out to me kind of just telling me that she was just trying to help me be a better woman and be a better mother and I get that but at the same time the reason I went on the show was to get help for co parenting with the father of my child and that I didn’t get help in and it really just made the situation extremely worse. Iyanla she’s definitely hard and what she says aren’t completely true but I think it was one-sided and I felt like it was kind of an attack instead of helping me and that’s just how I got it.
theJasmineBRAND: At the end of the show, it said that you continue to put up provocative Instagram photos. Also [they] said that co-parenting hasn’t improved. Can you clarify?
Erica Jean: The funny thing about the pictures is that Saigon has a problem with the pictures. I think it’s funny because we did a photoshoot for ‘Straight Stuntin’ magazine with me on the cover showing my ass and him standing right there and he has no problem with it but when I post pictures by myself then he has a problem with it. What made me upset about that is that he brought that up with Iyanla, she doesn’t have my instagram so I know that Saigon was bringing these things to her and that’s why in turn she told me to take them down and she knew about the pictures. The pictures that I think I put up are no worse than what a lot of people do in certain magazines and what me and Saigon have done is certain magazines. I just think that on Saigon’s part it was more of a control thing and on Iyanla’s part it was more to make me more aware of being a better and acceptable mother, so I can see what she did in that but with Saigon it’s really just about control with him. At the end of the day, I did take down some pictures, I didn’t take down all the pictures because some of them that I did take were from professional photographers from different magazines and I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that.
theJasmineBRAND: What do you think the real issue is between you and Saigon?
Erica Jean: As far as me and Saigon in our relationship, I think that it made it worse, us going on the show. After the show I took him to court so I think he was very upset about that. Saigon is always welcome to see his child, he just doesn’t want to. He’s not involved. He hasn’t seen our son since the show and that was in January and his excuse to not see his son is because I’m just some horrible person that he doesn’t want to be around …[inaudible] …It’s not me, it’s him.
theJasmineBRAND: Will you two return to the show [Love & Hip Hop NY]?
Erica Jean: We’re not planning to return to the show, no. I wasn’t even suppose to be on the show, Saigon was on the show with another babymama and it didn’t work out. So they kind of just brought me in there in the middle of taping like fresh from me just being a career woman and being a mother so it was never my desire to be on a reality show, that was all his desire for his career. So me not returning, I already knew that I didn’t want to return as far as him returning, I don’t know.

Has Iyanla helped anyone??? I liked her show with Evelyn but besides that, it seems like she had ruined more lives of celebrities instead of fixing them
I don’t understand why people go on her show and act like they didn’t know what she was gonna do.If you’ve seen her show before you know what she does.You can’t expect to see someone for an hour and they fix something,that took you years to break.She picked a dude that isn’t gonna be a good father for her child.She picked a dude that disrespected her from the door.Move on raise your child.Try to get yourself together as a woman.
Yes!! They get confronted about things in their life that hit home and no one has every told them. They blame everyone else for the situation and will not take ownership of their mess. Yes she said herself she just wanted a baby. She has issues and why would you bring a child into this world with someone you “just hook-up with”. Young people do some really dumb stuff. That boy looks like he has a problem. al they do is sream in front of him on a regular basis. That was so sad to see.
So true,She wanted Iyanla to tell him what a bad guy he is and to leave Erica alone.No,she’s gonna show you the part that you play in this mess.She didn’t like that.And yes,that little boy does look like he has issues.His speech is delayed.They talked about it on an episode of love and hip hop.
I agree that no one else tells the real like Iyanla. So when it comes to them on front street…they are in awwww and get to thinking and say…no on else has ever told me it that way, ect…and Im like okkkkk. So I will say I didn’t care for their episode at all but I love Iyanla show.
She’s upset because Iyanla didn’t let her off the hook for her b.s. When he came at her correct, she ignored him until he called her a fake a$$ b*tch that’s when she slept with. She mad cuze Iyanla told her in front of millions that she slept with and chose to have a baby with a man that didn’t even know her address. #TRUTHHURTS
Erica is still focusing on Saigon and what Iyanla did or didn’t do. Iyanla is not the savior, it is not her responsibility to actually “fix” anyone or anything. She provides a platform for you to speak your truth and dig into your own stuff. You can’t be apprehensive about one aspect of your life (plastic surgery) and then want to spill and expose everything else (Saigon). Truth of the matter is, the same woman that made the choice to be in a sexual relationship with a man who never confessed any love to her or for her is the same woman who thought the show would validate her poor decisions…
Having a little insight in the field, I instantly knew she screwed those two up, BIG TIME. The FIRST major mistake she made was not having a full understanding of Erica’s hatian culture as it related to her father. The SECOND GIAGANTIC mistake she made was equipping a young, impulsive, fatherless, angry man with the notion that he needed to FATHER/PARENT his baby-momma. That whole “tic tic tic boom” scene where he had a “ahh haa” moment was where EVERTHING fell apart. She should have never told Saigon he was maybe meant to father his son and Erica Jean- that was a huge mistake. That changed the dynamic and put him on a higher level of a hierarchy than her, which was already a problem. I do like her show, but I have to admit, that was clinically- her worst show.
Iyanla is a motivational speaker,a spiritual healer and a strong woman that’s trying to help some of us find our way.You took what she said literally.What she does isn’t clinical.It’s people sitting down and peeling their layers back to see what’s there.And you workout what you find.
a spiritual guide, acting in a clinical role. you have to be careful or you can do more damage than good. there is a reason why people study for 5 or more years post undergraduate to understand psychology. if your not careful, people will hold you accountable because you can leave them more broken then when you found them.
as I watch this episode for the 3rd time, when I heard her (Iyanla) say to him to father his son in addition to Erica, I heard – become that strong man that you MUST be for both your son as well as your son’s mother. I did not take it in the literal way that you did. I am quite sure that Iyanla would have been happy to revisit these two, but they are both unavailable emotionally. Let’s not forget that he mentioned that she (Erica) appeared a bit “off ” and yet he still continued to bed her. if he felt that she was not quite together then he needed to show direction to her through ‘father-like’ behavior. not as her father. for him to do the things and behave in a way that her father did not. provide her with those values, respect and guidance that her father did not.
That man is an idiot. It will have to take Jesus himself to come down and change him. He is the true definition of a moron. Erica let him continue to be the child that he acts like and find you a real man for you and your son. Pray for him and let him go.
this is a crazy reply and one of the worst things that is running rampant in our society as a culture. she has chosen her child’s father, good or bad, she cannot take him away from his son. this child is not an instrument to use to get ‘even’. she knew what the relationship was before she decided to become pregnant. she was not 15 but 34. she has NO respect for her son. she stated that ‘she doesn’t want to be that woman who takes her son away from his father’ then don’t. whatever it takes for your son, do it!! if you need to be quiet – father and mother – in order for your son to have a decent life, then be quiet and give this baby some peace.
