[INTERVIEW] Toya Bush-Harris Talks ‘Married to Medicine’ Reunion, Blow-Up With Dr. Simone

theJasmineBRAND.com: Looking back, is there anything that you wish you did differently, regarding the reunion incident?

Toya Bush Harris: I wish I hadn’t let her get me so upset, because I know that I have to have tough skin, especially in a world full of angry, bitter people who are looking to make you feel the hurt that they’re feeling inside. However, as I previously stated, I was fed up. However, I still don’t think I can say that I would have reacted differently, because had I simply walked away AS I normally did, she would have kept throwing daggers, and eventually spears. So I HAD to stand up for myself to show her that she can’t just talk down on someone like that and keep yelling over them to make herself look and feel like the bigger person. The bigger person knows how to have a heated discussion without sacrificing their dignity and integrity. A mature person can cut you so deep, yet say nothing vulgar, or violent/aggressive at all, and clearly, Simone does just the opposite. She starts yelling and cussing, and calling names. Need I say more?

theJasmineBRAND.com: If asked, do you plan to come back for another season?

Because I’ve learned what I’ve learned about myself, and even some things about the other women, I would come back, and I’d like to see us all get along. I’m not even against being friends with Dr. Simone again. She’s the one who is claiming to feel “threatened” by me, but I have no issue with her, and wouldn’t even be against rekindling our friendship. As long as she knows I will not allow her to walk over me anymore, we can fix what was broken. So yes, I’d come back without any hesitation.

theJasmineBRAND.com: Is there anything else that you’d like to share?

Toya Bush Harris: I just want to say Thank You to the people who aren’t “fans” but are “real people” on social media watching the show, and encouraging me through those hard-to-watch moments. I can’t lie, sometimes, the words of the other women sting and hurt. But I thank God for the supporters from social media who remind me of how important my role is as a mother, and how important it is that I choose to be present in my children’s life opposed to neglecting them and leaving them at a Nanny’s house as I strive to stack up my checks. Before having children, I wasn’t thinking about being a mother. I was enjoying my life and my career. But being a mother changed me and made me reevaluate and prioritize some things, and I realized that once I became a mother, it was NO LONGER ABOUT ME. So if that meant sacrificing my career for my family, then so-be-it. Because what ultimately makes me happy is seeing them happy, and as long as my children, and my husband are happy, that’s really all that matters. So I thank the supporters for continuously having my back and re-affirming that for me.
