Tameka Raymond Explains Her Behavior On Reality TV: Drama is value.

If you have been watching in episode 3, you have seen me say some unkind things about Torrei’s sisterlocks.  A note to my Natural sisters: I have total respect for Natural Hair. In fact, underneath my weaves I’m natural too!  I respect the choice and discipline required to go natural. I just do not subscribe or applaud those ‘synthetic’, presto additions that are supposed to emulate natural hair. After all, a weave is a weave is a weave!!  We are all in the same gang! LOL!  Please don’t be mad naturalitas, I love natural hair, be it locks, braids or an afro they are beautiful indeed…

On cast mate Torrei Hart commenting about Kile’s death: 

Torrei in a couple of scenes even had the bold audacity to speak about my kids. She even said on camera that people “around town” are saying that Kile’s death may be Karma. I wonder which town she is referring to, because if it’s Atlanta, That is my town. I have been in Atlanta for 17 years, compared to her four (4) months, be clear that is not how we roll.  That is so inappropriate as to be beyond description.  I hope no mother has to experience the pain of losing a child.  For those that have implied that I have used his passing as an ‘excuse’, my only response is you try and decide which one of your kids can you live without?  Once you conclude that the answer is NONE, maybe then you will understand the veracity of losing a child. The fact that she was even able to say that on camera is unconscionable.  All things aren’t up for television banter nor do I take ANYTHING involving my children lightly. That’s when I lose it… yeah all bets are off about my Kile or any of my “five heartbeats”.

What are your thoughts on Tameka’s open letter? And what are your thoughts about her on the show thus far?
