Rasheeda Talks Baby Karter, K. Michelle Beef, Ongoing Marital Problems With Kirk Frost & Faking For Reality TV!
September 24, 2013GWL Staff"Love and Hip Hop: Atlanta" reality star Rasheeda is opening up about her ongoing marital woes with Kirk Frost, raising her new baby, Karter Frost, coming to an understanding with K. Michelle, and rumors about her faking her marital drama for reality TV.
Here's what she told Mara from "UrCityMagazine.com:"
ON HOW KIRK HAS TAKEN TO BEING A FATHER AGAIN DESPITE HIS INITIAL REACTION TO HER PREGNANCY:
“He’s actually just amazing to be honest with you. He’s just been a great father, he’s been, you know, allowing me to get my rest as much as possible, and regardless to the fact that you can’t get past the crying that you hear from the baby, but he’s been really, really great. You know he’s always been a good father regardless of how it looked on television as far as the things he said about ‘I’m tired of raising kids,’ and whatnot, you know. He has four adult children, you know. Over 18 [years old] kids that he was more so speaking about, but as far as him in Karter’s life, he’s just been 100% just doing his damn thing.”ON IF SHE AND KIRK ARE IN A BETTER PLACE IN THEIR RELATIONSHIP:
“I mean you just take it one day at a time, and the main thing is just being parents number one, and then just continuing to grow our friendship, and to try to get back in a place. But you just don’t rush things, you just take one day at a time and just keep it moving.”ON IF SHE THINKS HER PROBLEMS WOULD KIRK WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF THEY WEREN’T ON TV [THE REALITY TV COUPLES CURSE]:
“I think so, because we’ve been through so many different things in our relationship. Then you’ve got everybody weighing in and trying to see what’s going on…I’m not saying the same issues, but just different issues within your marriage, you know what I’m saying. And I look at it like it’s relationship problems, it’s marital problems – some people can’t relate because they haven’t been in a relationship or marriage. At the end of the day, yeah, it does seem like it could be a reality curse, but I’m not 100% saying that happened in my relationship, but I think with it playing out on TV and stuff like that, and you having so many people weighing in on it, sometimes people get persuaded by outsiders, you know what I’m saying. But you’ve just got to follow your heart and do what’s best for you as an individual and as the person living in the relationship. So, it is what it is, you just have to deal with it, get through it if you can, try to get back together if you can, and if you can’t, then keep it moving. And if you don’t, they going to say it’s a curse, and then sh*t, it’s the curse. (laughs) And if you beat the curse, dammit, you beat it.”
ON RUMORS THAT SHE AND KIRK FAKED THEIR RELATIONSHIP ISSUES BECAUSE THEY WERE IN DANGER OF BEING FIRED AFTER SEASON ONE:
“Well, first of all, the chopping block situation, we didn’t know anything about that. Every thing was every thing. We came back season 2 so we wouldn’t on the chopping block. And, like I said, everybody has problems; ain’t nobody perfect. I got pregnant, and Kirk wasn’t happy about it. The sh*t was the real deal. He felt like he felt, and went and did what he did, and that’s him. It wasn’t no ficitious sh*t. I mean, people go through stuff, and the killer part that really be bugging me out is, the reason why people could relate so much is a lot of us been through that type of situation. The things that were going on with me and Kirk…you know what, if you’re on reality TV, and you’re going through some sh*t, then you’re going through it, and that’s what it is, and people can weigh in and say they feel like this and they feel like that, they can say what they want to say, but we have real issues. We have other sh*t that goes on in our relationship that people may not have seen just for the simple fact that it’s too many damn people on the show, and you don’t have all that camera time to speak to everybody. At the end of the day, we’re real people with real issues, with real problems, and the difference is it played out on TV with cameras in front of us, straight up and down. You know what, people have to weigh in, they saying what they saying. A lot of people feeling like this and feeling like that, but at the end of the day, a lot of people could relate because it was some real sh*t, and a lot of times a lot of people done been through the situation. No it ain’t no fake made up sh*t – who want to make up some sh*t like that? Who wants to go through that as a person? You know what I’m saying? But it’s life, and it is what it is. You play the cards that you dealt with, and you move forward. And in a relationship, it can either mess up a relationship and tear you apart, or it’ll make you stronger, end of story. And I’ve seen people go through way worse sh*t than what me and Kirk been going through.”ON COMING TO AN UNDERSTANDING WITH K. MICHELLE:
“No, I haven’t talked to her since the reunion, but you should be able to come to something being a grown ass woman. I mean seriously, it comes to a point you just kind of let bygones be bygones and keep it pushing, and that’s just where I’m at with it. I’ve been going through a whole lot of different things, and I look at it like the last thing I got time for on my plate is to be backing-and-forthing with the next person, the next woman. So like I said, and I meant what I said, we’ll don’t have to be friends, but we can be cordial, and I wish you the best with everything you trying to do, and that’s that. I mean, for real.”ON HER MUSIC:
“Definitely a new album, which will be after the New Year, but you’ll hear new music before Thanksgiving. You’ll hear new Rasheeda music and a new album after the New Year, and just gettting geared up for all that, getting ready to get back out there on the road doing shows and hosting parties and all that good stuff at the end of this month so, I’ve been taking in all my down time and my great motherly bonding time, and after that, it’s time to get back to work.”
