New Reality Star Teairra Mari: I’m Not Crazy!

Reality TV is a tough situation for newbies. And such is the case for Love & Hip Hop Hollywood’s new face, Teairra Mari.

The former Def Jam artist has joined the new VH1 spin-off show and with only one episode in, she’s shed tears, profanity and almost got physical, all of her ex-boyfriend, Ray J.

In an interview with Hello Beautiful, Teairra weighs in, giving us a backstory to what she considers a once painful experience. Check out a few excerpts:

HelloBeautiful: You get into a physical altercation with Ray J, can you explain what happened?

Teairra Mari: He pissed me off to the point of return. He kept being disrespectful and I exploded. He poked and poked and poked and I took it for a while.

HB: How do you sum up you and Ray’s relationship?

TM: It’s nothing now. This has totally destroyed any possibly of it ever being anything again. We were together off and on for a span of 9 years. I loved him to death, I even had his name tattooed on me. I loved him with all my heart. It went pretty deep. He’s always that one that I would always go back to.

HB: Nine years is a long time, you were around through all of his other relationships?
