(EXCLUSIVE) Crystal Renay Talks Engagement to NeYo, Reality TV & Social Media Backlash

She also discussed how she genuinely likes Shaw and dealing with #TeamMonyetta push backs/negativity.

In the beginning, it was very hurtful. It hurts because I really like her. She’s funny. She’s a fun person to be around and I hate the misconception that people want us to not like each other because it’s not the case.

The premise of her forthcoming reality show (whose cast mates include Eva Marcille, Sparkle Holmes, E.J. King and others) and promoting her business as her reason for joining it,

It’s about a group of tight-knit friends (hopefully they remain that way), um, just basically living our lives and having businesses in Hollywood and dealing with all the stigmas and negativity…and just juggling our relationships and lives as well as our friendships.

She reveals that NeYo was completely supportive of the show.

He supports me 100 percent. He knows that I’m not gonna get on there…and embarrass myself. I’m [gonna] keep it real. He wants the world to know me for me and who he sees and not what people perceive me to be.

The hardest part of reality TV:

Keeping my attitude in check [and] trying to remember at the end of the day, this show is to promote my business and keeping that mind frame.

On what she has planned for the future:

I’ve been working on a [clothing] line for a while now and I’ve been taking my time with it. I’m looking for big department stores to take my line on. My [children’s clothing line] debut, hopefully, will be in March.

    Whatever, he should of stayed with Monyetta, they already had kids and knew each other for a while, now this (Knuckle Head Brother) has to start over with this (Video Thot)…#No Bueno

      I couldn’t agree more. This situation is a prime example of what happens in our commuity. The reason why we do not have that many strong black families. After the infatuation stage wears off he’ll be dealing with the same issues that caused him to walk out on his family. I hope Monyetta finds a good role model for her babies. Neyo may be a good provider but those kids need more than that.

    Beyond is a DOUCHE bag and NO ONE cares enough about her to watch her thirsty butt.

    So he suggested Monyetta tie her tubes.Now she can’t have anymore children if she wanted to.But,he can have as many children as he wants.He’s a rotten dude.

    Girl pls, you know you want to plan a big wedding. Judging from your words, you are a golddigger. You are materialistic. And you should not speak on the ex’s repoductive system because as you said, it has nothing to do with you. #thotimusprime

        You big mad or little mad? She said some nasty stuff about Monyetta (someone she said she likes). I wonder what she would have said if she didn’t. This Thot is messy all around. She can’t stay away from social media and stop posting and deleting. A man gave her a ring because they were worried about what people say. She keeps posting this ring as if this is the defining factor of their relationship. She is a sad puppy. They’re just messy as hell.

    The way he handled things with Monyetta is a sure sign of Shaffer character.Crystal when a person show you who they are believe them and most men tend to have a patten

    ****pattern***So refreshing to hear Crystal say she really likes Monyetta as a person as it should be because there are children involved…. And remember Monyetta can probably share something with you to keep you from sharing the same heart ache and pain she endured from Shaffer aka Neyo….As Crystal love to say now #PrinceSJ sperm donor/currently and as of today Crystals baby daddy….Watch Listen and Learn the character of a man

    It just seems from the very start there has been drama surrounding this relationship. From the beginning Crystal has brought nothing but drama. Remember she’s the same chick who tweeted he was gay. She gets upset when he spends time with his kids. She post ish then she deletes it. Bottom line she does way too much. She draws negativity to her. That’s an internal problem. Adding a baby to the mix is not going to help.

    When I think of Neyo and Crystal one word comes to mind… MESSY. They can’t help themselves. She should enjoy it while it last. If he do not walk out on her before marriage like he did Monyetta he will walk out on her shortly after marriage. Crystal has deep mental issues that a baby and a marriage will not heal. It’s going to make it worse. Neyo is out to prove something or he’s fighting something. Until he comes to terms with his truth he will be dragging the women and his babies down a dark path. Crystal if you’re reading this and I know you are… Chill out ma! You don’t have to post all of your business on social media. Take a page out of Beyonce book. Keep some things private. Why don’t you start getting your mental state in check before the baby come. Find you a mental counselor and start attending church because you’re going to be even crazier when postpartum kicks in.

      Jasmine suggesting that she don’t post on social media is like telling her to not to breath. She can’t do it. She is way too superficial and needy for that which really boils down to low self esteem. She thrives and put all of her energy into getting a lot of “likes” and compliments. She just tries to hard. It’s sad really. This chick even uses the negative comments to her advantage. She wants people to feel sorry for her.
      Case and point… Her words from the interview “On my birthday, he just decided to re-propose because he didn’t like the way people were treating me.” So his re-proposal wasn’t geniune. He did it to make her feel better?… No wonder he didn’t put much effort into it with his wife beater on and all. This is not going to end well. I’m sure she’s a nice girl. Life handed her a deck of cards and she may not have played them the way others would have however… She’s very insecure and conniving. She has manipulated herself right where she is today. Shaffer is too green to notice it. What’s sad is that his mom and sister don’t notice or since he’s the breadwinner they are ignoring it. I stand for Usher’s mom. She knew as well as his “true” fans that Tameka was not the woman for her son. She never bowed down. We all know how that story end. You should never have to defend love this much. It’s like this relationship is going against the current. One suggestion and I’m done. Crystal if you and Shaffer’s relationship is perfect in private why not keep it private. I know that would be hard to do because you love the drama and the attention way too much. Shaffer, before it’s all over this negative publicity is going to have your career drip dropping down the drain. The mainstream is funny like that. You can’t do what the other race does but your momma should have told you that a long time ago. Blessings to you both.

    I know Monyetta hates that she has to be associated with this mess and that her kids have to be around a porn star and instagram booty model. Neyo should be a shame of himself for putting that burden on Monyetta. You leave strippers in the strip clubs and you leave instagram booty models on the internet. We know Monyetta is classier than Crystal but it’s a darn shame when little Maddie is too. I know the M’s are going to go into a cultural shock when they have to be around Crystal. Poor kids! They have a wreckless daddy.

      It just seem like she is definitely piggybacking off of Monyetta step is and always have just been do what she needs to do to get him. But to each it’s own hope he makes her sign a prenup and a gag order

      • Anonymous at 2:54 am

        she is and always. Typo. She has said some really meesed up things about Monyetta that she thought was deleted. But wasn’t. Just don’t like her she is doing way to much and her life answers to those questions was all about money nothing about a healthy baby after all she calls this a miracle. I just can wait for it to be over. Neyo and Monyetta was not broken up for 2yrs before they got together the show came out last yr. His break up post was in 2013 if I’m not mistaking. Is he going to make her get a paternity test like he did Mo.

    I don’t want to judge. But I don’t see classy or eloquent. I’m sure she’s a nice girl. I don’t like the way she speaks. “And den I was like, what IS you doing…” Crystal this was an interview. Work on your professionalism if you want to promote you business.

    • Myla at 12:46 pm

      Yes I noticed that as well. She does not speak proper grammer. She need to take Neyo’s money and invest in a speech class. She’s too old not to speak proper english and that little girl voice needs to go. Her priorities are in the wrong place. She is in need of a mentor. Maybe Iyanla can fix her life.

      • LL at 11:38 am

        She can’t speak for shit. Totally agree. Girl, go get some speech classes. You are not articulate at all. What business is anyone going to support when you cannot even present yourself well. Presentation is everything.
