Ochocinco Defends Reality Show & Love for Black Women

Apparently, Ochocinco noticed that women of color felt some type of way about the lack of black women on his reality dating show. He took to Global Grind to explain: “As a kid growing up, I developed a strong sense of self-worth from the incredible women in my life, all of whom were black.  I am the man who I am today because of black women, and I am forever grateful for the values and strength they instilled in me.  With all that being said, I was surprised by all of hate that I got from the decisions that were made on the first episode of my reality show Sunday night.  The next day, when I went on twitter and saw a lot people talking about how I didn’t pick enough black women or how they weren’t cute or I picked them all at the end…it made my stomach turn.   Look….if my mama and my grandmama, the two women who raised me, ain’t got a problem with the women I choose in life, no matter what race they are, then it shouldn’t be a problem to anyone.  Bottom line is that I love black women.  I got four beautiful children and their mother is black. However,  I’m still single, ready to mingle and a Cincinnati Bengal…so if you see me on the street, please feel to slip me your business card or your number, whether your green, purple, blue or how I like ’em, pink on the inside.  That covers all y’all…right?  So, I hope we’re good.  Either you fly with me or get flown over.  Love and let live.” Here are some of the cast photos from his show.
