I was very warm this morning. Okay. And you know what I've been doing, Box, I've been making my tackles with the Beyond chicken, the Beyond meat.

Let me see, let me get the list were stopping through?

Get that out? Donna Donna Hilton movie. Donna Hilton has an amazing story what's the name of her bookie um unprepared, because that's what we are. And it's called A Little Piece of Lights, A little Piece, A Little Piece of Lights memoir. And she actually went to jail for well, we'll let her tell it, the memoir of Hope, prison and a life one bound. I'll tell you this though. She went to prison for twenty seven years. That's right, Donna Hilton. It's a great, great story, trust me. When

you hear her life story. She's from Jamaica and island. Yeah, she got not queens the island anyway, she got snatched out of Jamaica, brought to the United States, brought to New York and things just were crazy for her in her life. So the fact that she is as resilient and strong as she is now, it's amazing. If you feel like giving up, when you hear this woman's story, you understand why you can't give up, because she never gave up. It's a great story, trust us. It's a

story of healing. All right, another ending process, by the way, I think, all right, Front Page News, what we're talking about. We are going to talk about one of our favorite stores. I don't know if you liked this store envy, but I know me and Charlomagne probably love the store. The three hundred ninety of these stores are going to be closing. I was very disappointed when I heard that. If you tell me talking, if you guys love it, I'd probably not going to really take to it too, because you

boogie call it what you want. But anyway, we'll get to that next. Keep a lock. Just to breafast club, good morning morning. Everybody is DJ M v Angela, Ye, Charlomagne the god. We all the breakfast clubs having it. Oh my god, wow, oh my god. But it's National Cereal Day. I don't really ever eat cereal. Yo. You know what, First of all, cereals not a breakfast food. It is a snack. Anybody that eats cereal for breakfast as a terrorists, it's what all that? What it's for?

Nope's a snack. Well let's get into some front page news. You know, the only cereal I ever eight was Raising Brand. Oh my god, ever in life? Yeah, I don't like any I up. I grew up loving fruit loops and frust to flake fruit loops, banging frost and flakes, banging sentiment totals crunch. What's the one with the chocolate tip cookies, a little mini cook, Chaco cookie, crisp cook just it was either raising brand of Agos. Always had Eggles in my house. That's what I have breakfast eggs waffles and

then for a snacker had it Ego waffles. You got a terrible childhood. Well that explains the waffle comparisons you are with you definitely a waffle colored my goodness. All right, well, let's get in some front page news. Congratulations to Lebron James. He passed Michael Jordan. He's now number four on the scoring list. Scream up, Dudeji bars number one called Malonis two and who's number three? Kobe Bryant, Kobe Jelly Bean

Bryant and four is Lebron James. Congratulations. Two chain was in attendance and actually gave him one of his chains as he passed Michael Jordan's. So he's still he's still not the greatest basketball player of all time. Y'all can stop those conversations to two of the greatest basketball player of all time is number four on that list, that's Michael Jordan, and then after the Michael George five on the list. The number five. After that, the discussion should

be uh, Magic Johnson, Kobe Bryant. If you're talking about that position, what about currently? Would you say that he's the greatest player currently playing this year? Well, he is the best player in the league. He was injured. Who's better than him? Due for Milwaukee? The Greek freak whose name I can't pronounce, that's Greek freak. But if you do stats, uh Lebron had thirty two thousand, three hundred and eleven points. He had eight thousand rebounds. Jordan had

six thousand rebounds, He had eight thousand assists. Jordan had five thousand assists. And field goal percentage he had fifty point four. Jordan had forty nine point seven. So it's talker stats. Great, great careers, both of them, but Michael Jordan's to go. All right, now, what else were talking about? Year? The Dollar Tree is closing up to three hundred and ninety Family Dollars stores. They're going to close these and also renovate one thousand other locations. They said they have

a two point three billion dollars loss. You know, I love a dollar store. Yeah, Family Dollar got taken out a long time ago by Dollar General. Yeah, it's hard, and uh, there's so many dollars stories. I don't even know the difference. I hate dollars because nothing in there really cost to do. Nothing's a dollar in there anymore. But there's some fantastic dollars stories where you can get some great bargains. No, that's a fact. That's right by all My house holds fly, So that is the fact.

All right. Now, let's discuss Alex Trebec. You know him from Jeopardy Trebec. Yes, he's been the host of Jeopardy, and he said he has no plans to retire even though he's been diagnosed with stage four pancreatic cancer. That's really tough. So he said he is going to still finish out this season. He actually did a video message and here's what Alex Trebec had to say this week. I was diagnosed with stage four pancreatic cancer. Now, normally

the prognosis for this is not very encouraging. But I'm going to fight this and I'm going to keep working and with the love and support of my family and friends, and with the help of your prayers also, I plan to beat the low survival rates statistics for this disease. Truth told I have to because under the terms of my contract, I have to host Jeopardy for three more years. I've never heard him talk outside of host and Jeopardy

every money, and he always sounds like Jeopardy. That is the first time I've ever had heard him have a regular conversation. Is a tough one to beat, so our prayers are with him. It's crazy because I used to think that Alex Trebeck, Pat say Jack, and Van and White would either vampires or robots. Because the key to living forever and not aging gotta be the host of game show because those three have been looking the exact same since I've been alive. All right, all right, well

last front page news. Get it off your chests eight hundred five eight five one oh five one. If you're upset, you need to vent hit us up right now. Maybe had a bad night, bad morning, or maybe you just want to sprint some positivity, whatever it may be. Eight hundred five eight five one oh five one, Get it off your chest. It's the breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club. This is your time to get it off your chests. Whether you're man or blast, but the same

in we want to hear from you on the Breakfast Club. Amen, Hi, this is na from Man. I'm never gonna get your name right. It was felled eight man, mind get off your chests. A UM. I watched the podcast because I wou was be on the same I mean, I listened to the podcast because obviously I'm the Sammy was Howlifornia. So it's really hard for me to listen at work. But I decided to call in UM a little earlier or at three am, because I want to talk about

Michael Jackson. I'm a little bit behind because obviously I listened to the podcast. Michael Jackson allegedly was a little bit behind. Two. UM the Neverland Ranch. UM, it's in California. This is a sex trafficking state. UM. We actually have a lot of kids, UM that are abandoned, that are physically abused, that are uh sexually abused, that need temporary placement. UM. I personally worked with those kids, and we spend a lot of those kids to San Diego. But we don't

really have anything up north. And instead of selling it, why don't we use it something for good and use it as something for good and turn it into UM somewhere where they have temporary placement. For these children. Who owns it? Who ranch? I got the states? Yeah, if it if it's from the family, then the family should. Michael Jackson wanted it for the true and so why don't they use it for the children? Turn out, I

thought they should turn into an amusement fault. Well, that stay probably doesn't want to have to deal with the upkeep of it, and maybe there's some bad memories and family. I don't like people saying turn it into a positive like we know for show Michael Jackson was doing that to them young that's true. I don't know why people. I don't know why people just can't say we don't

really know what happened. We don't really know. And personally, like I said, I work with those kids, and if I really believe that Michael Jackson did something like that, I wouldn't want to send them to a facility where that had happened. But I'm saying that if there's nothing that we can do with it, and they lowered the price so much and there's I don't think give it over to so donate it with it. Yeah, donated it, do something good with it and turn it into something

that Michael Jackson would have won it. He wanted it for the children. I agree, But who's gonna pay for it? Yeah, that's a lot to large donation. But thank you Mama for that idea. All right, thank you, Red. Good morning? What's up? Red? You know of chest Man? I'm trying to figure out what's going on with DJ VY. You keep playing the same round up my brother.

Don't feel bad for me. I feel you feel you all right? Bro? All right, take care jay yo morning, get off your chest. Jay Um. I just wanted to talk about the uh

Michael Jarnes and stuff that's happening right now. I don't know if you guys have heard that there's been a take offf his music catalog throughout um Canada. Yeah, somewhere else in Canada, in New Zealand. What's going on? Yeah, we heard about it. What's what's up, bro Um? I just want to know why they're trying to our legends. Now. This is really starting to get to me in a bad way because now it's like, you take away our legends, who do we have left? Well, here's the thing. Nobody

took away all Kelly or Kelly did it to himself. Okay, Uh, nobody took away Bill Cosby. Bill Cosby did it to himself. Michael Jackson is the only one that I think there is a full fledged conspiracy behind destroying his legacy. And there was that, and that was happened when he was alive, and it's still happening when he's dead. Yeah, but people could still make that saint argument that he didn't go too I mean, depending on if you believe It's depending

if you believe it or not. But I mean the truth of the matter is we really don't know, Like that's all. That's all you can say when him comes to Michael Jackson. You don't have to make a decision on Michael Jackson. They said that Leaving never Land premiere was HBO's third most watch documentary in a decade and it wasn't even a documentary. What do you what are you calling for it though? Sir? What do you want us to say? Um? Okay, well you have a great day, bro.

All right, you guys too. I don't understand what is he trying to say? Like, yo, either you still like Michael's music or you don't like Michael's music. It's either or the same thing with all Kelly and all of them, Like you make your own decisions in life. All right, we'll get it off your chance eight hundred five eight five one oh five one. If you need to vent, you can hit us up at any time that you've

got rooms on the way. Yes, well, we'll be keeping you updated this morning because you know Joycelyn Savage and as Riall Clary that the two women that are still with R. Kelly, they are going to be speaking today on CBS this morning, So we'll be giving you those updates. But In the meantime, R Kelly is behind bars. We'll give you that update. All right, we'll get into all that when we come back. Keeping lock. This the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club. Yes morning, everybody is j

V Angela Ye, Charlomagne the guy. We all the good morning in here, National Serial Day. I don't know what that means. All right, Well, let's get to these rooms. Let's talk R Keny. She's filling the team. This is the rumor report with Angela Yee on the Breakfast Club. Well, R Kelly, so let's talk about a couple of different things. First of all, he is back behind bars, and the reason for that is because he hasn't paid his child support.

He had. The deadline was yesterday for him to pay the full amount that he had to pay, which he was like one hundred and sixty one thousand dollars. He still did not do that. Now, if you remember, in the interview with Gail King, he said that he wants to have a relationship with his kids and he's been trying to but he's not allowed to. But he's not

even paying his child support that he owes. According to sources close to the situation, They said he hasn't even tried to reach out to his three kids with his ex wife, Dreya Kelly, since twenty seventeen. And remember Dreya said she is open to having R. Kelly reconnect with their kids, who are now adults. It's wow that R. Kelly is broke, bro like, I mean, I believe I

can fly. Should still be making him millions of dollars, spent a lot of money, spent a lot of money on lawyer fees, fighting cases, doesn't own his publishing, who ows his publishing? Michael Jackson, he's stupid. Well, all I know is there are new allegations against him, and that's an incident that happened in Detroit back in two thousand and one. The alleged victim was thirteen years old at

the time. So right now they are working on following up with this new information and with the attorney as well. Kelly's going to prison. Even if he doesn't go to prison, he'll probably be homeless because he won't be able to afford anything. He can't do any shows, he can't afford a lawyer and pay for his legal team anymore. He'll be But yeah, he has some fans like, look the women that paid one hundred thousand dollars to bail him out. Yeah, I'll Kelly be a fire homeless person though, all right

on the corner singing you'll keep money in his cup. Well, this morning you'll hear from Joycelyn Savage and the Asriale Clary. They're going to be on CBS this morning with Gail King. Now, these are two women who are in a relationship with R. Kelly, but their families think they have Stockholm syndrome. So R Kelly met Joycelyn Savage at a concert when she was nineteen years old. Asriale Clary was seventeen when she met R.

Kelly at one of his concerts. Here is asriale Clary right now, a trailer from the interview that's going to air this morning. When I first met Robert, my parents told me to lie about my age, so when I met him, he thought that I was eighteen when I met him. They even liked to the police. They told the police that I was eighteen. They told R Kelly that I was eighteen. So here's this man thinking that I'm eighteen. Everything that she's saying it is true. Our

parents are basically out here just to get money. I hope that's not the case. Boy. I mean, listen, got Stockholm syndrome. But those two women sound like they're grown and they made a choice. Well, he's not going to jail for this. By the way, let's be clear, there's other allegations with underage girls and take set episodes, So this has nothing to do with his jail situation. If you did that one time, it's wrong, period. It doesn't

matter what else happening. Oh no, I agree. Just because our Kelly isn't doing anything wrong with those two women doesn't mean he still doesn't have a problem with sleeping with underage girls. I actually had a guy say to me yesterday that he can't believe we come at our Kelly the way the way that we do. We should wait on the fact. I'm like bro I saw the facts twenty years ago in a barbershop in Goose Creek,

South Carolina on a VHS VHS tape. All right now, as Rielle Clary actually broke down talking to Gail King about R Kelly and about her parents. You guys don't know the truth. I believe it so that our parents are staying this is all fine and if you can't see that, you're inhuman and you're stupid. Could Kelly ain't got no money, no more. Yeah, I prayed at their parents didn't tell them out for fame or some money.

I pray well. As Rielle Clary's parents say they have text messages that show that r Kelly had sex with her when she was seventeen years old, and he denies these things. He said he hasn't had sex with any underaged girls. Now, in the meantime, R Kelly's team is arranging a meeting between Joycelyn and the Savage family, so Joycelyn is finally going to see her family and be reunited with them. It's been quite some time since that

has happened. They actually put up this video of the Savage family speaking with their daughter Joyceling Savage and with her siblings. Here's how it went. Both guys, I'm during the time, but I'm okay and I'm trappy. It's Jordan. We love you, Joycelan, I love Can you please come home? I love you too as a father. If I ever get to the point in my life or I have to arrange a meeting with any of my daughters, I don't want to see him. No, you would still want

to see that, arrange a meeting. Guys want to see them. No, I'm I'm I'm with charlam Man. Man. If I got to Array, I got to give this to the point where she doesn't want to speak to me and she doesn't want to concerned about it and she doesn't safety, I can't imagine there's something wrong with that. Well, first of all, I don't exactly. I don't think Madison would or London or Brooklyn would ever get to that level.

But if I had to arrange a meeting where my daughter didn't want to talk to me and she's a grown ass woman, something else is broken down in the dynamic between me and my daughter. Something else is your meeting with her. Something else is wrong. I should never get to that point. Well, the Savage family, in the meantime, their lawyers are denying that they quote sold their daughter to R. Kelly. And here's what those claims are. No point did the Savage family provide or sell their daughter

to Robert Sylvesta Kelly. This family has not spoken directed to their daughter in two years. Question. Yes, hearing those two young women defend Kelly in that way in the future, if those two women come out and said they were actually manipulated and abused by R. Kelly, how would we handle that. I would believe him, You believe them. They're very they're very young, very impressionable. But this is seventeen

years old when you met him. So after seeing them on CBS this morning defending him in that way, crying, saying their parents and lying parents and sold them, sold them. In the future, if they come out and say, oh, Kelly abused the manipulated them, we're We're gonna like the stets integris. That's I'm work, Yeah, because yeah, because they would have Stockholm syndrome. That could happen. That's a real real people get kidnapped and they sympathize, and that's a

real thing. Not that people with Stockholm syndrome. They actually they actually want to stay with the person who is their abuser, right, And that's a real like mental telling us right now, he's not abusing us, he's nominated. That's exactly what Stockholm syndrome. Absolutely, one hundred percent, that's what the sympom Stockholm syndromes came from a bank that was robbed out overseas and when they finally arrested the robbers. The people that were bank and the bank sympathized from it,

would not testify against them. Said, that's where the term came from. But yeah, stop. The person that kidnapped you, took you hostage. You have trust toward them, but you're affectionate toward them, you love them. It was impossible for you all to believe that they want to be there. Well, I'm saying if they say they turn around and say, actually they were manipulated, that is exactly what Stockholm syndrome is.

Let me just say question was if they turn around and say, yes, he did kidnap us, he did abduct us, he did manipulate us, I would believe that. Let me ask you guys one question at all. Yeah, I would question anything. Well, let me ask you one question. Right, you've seen the tape. You see the tape? Which one R. Kelly? Would you allow your daughters to do anything with R. Kelly? If you're a good parent, would you? Let's be honest, No,

But I don't like putting it on their parents. And the reason I don't like putting their parents because Kelly's wrong. He's wrong. It doesn't matter they brought the daughter to R Kelly and they all roll all the way around. But then I'm just saying, as a father that loves my daughter and will do anything, die for my daughter, bust my ass for my daughter, I'm not bringing her to R Kelly. That's me personally. I had to do

a percentage of who's blaming this situation. Kelly's ninety seven. Yes, absolutely, parents might be about three. All right, well, I mean answer the year and that's your room of report. Okay, thank you, miss ye. Now when we come back, we got front page. What we're talking about. Oh, we are going to talk about Colorado Police they're under investigation.

you know how that goes. Well, he'll have plenty more time to do more two Change album because the Lakers not making the playoffs. This hit definitely not. I think they're six games out away something like that. No, he's not making the playoffs. All right? What else were talking about? You? Well, let's talk about a viral cell phone video. Now, this video shows police in Colorado, multiple white police officers, some

of them had their guns drawn. They were confronting a man, a black man, and that black man was just picking up trash on his own property. So now there's an internal affairs investigation. Now, this incident happened on Friday around eight thirty am, and the man's identity has not been released, but somebody did start filming everything with a cell phone. One of the neighbors. Here's what happened. To be here

picking up garbage. I will like every other I hate to say it, but I have to see the video. That's a black man, Yes, a black man. It's a sixty minute video and he's on his own property picking up trash. The cops come, they call for backup, and he's not doing anything wrong. They let him talk slick for sixty minutes. Sixteen oh, sixteen oh. He's on his own property. He had no weapon on him, He wasn't even doing anything. So why are you on my bed? I've seen this and I thought the same thing. I

would do the same thing. If I'm on my property and you bothered me, I'm gonna talk crazy, I'm gonna talk ish. Why the hell are you all my property? Get the f out of here. Nobody called I'm taking out the trash. I was taking up trash on his own property. I definitely they thought he was trespassing or something. Who called the police? I have no idea, this is my property. I paid my taxes, I paid my mortgage or my rent. You're gonna come in. And now I

don't think anybody called the police. I think they just saw this man in the area and the area was like and they didn't have to figure out suspect, what's he allowed to be there? Stories like that make you have to take a w PEB. You know, that's a white people that made you so angry just now to hear this, a man picking up trash on his own property for the cops to just come and be like,

are you supposed to be here? Now? Officers did ultimately determine he had a legal right to be on the property, and he even showed his ID showing that it was his property. And I'm triggered. I need a white people break, Steve. Don't talk to me for an hour, not look me in the eye for an hour. All right, Well, that is your front page news talking cameraman, Steve. He's white.

Could you imagine you at your crib. You pay your taxes, you pay your mortgage, you work hard and bust your ass for and they tell you you're not supposed to be here. What are you doing? Here. What are you doing here? Get off my property. I showed you my ID. That's some damn nerve. What are we doing that? Oh yeah, got me so pissed off? All right, what are we doing next? All right? That's front page News that when we come back, don we'll be joining us to explain

to the people who Donn Hilton. Donna Hilton has a great book out called A Little Piece of Light. It's Antmoir of Hope, Prison and a Life Unbound. She did twenty seven years in prison, okay, but before she got to that point, she went through a lot of trauma. She was tell her whole story. I'm saying she was. That's what the whole book is about, seven years in prison, real to men. All Right, we'll get that next. We'll get that on next. Don't move. It's to Breakfast Club

The Morning, The Breakfast Club. You're checking out the world's most dangerous morning show. Morning. Everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building. Very interesting in the video. Yes, Donna Hilton, welcome survivor. Oh my goodness, your story is crazy. She has a book, A Little Piece of Light, tell us a little bit bit about yourself. Who is Donna Hilton?

Who's Donna Hilton? Donna Hilton first and foremost as a human being, I just want to say that I think oftentimes we talk about people that have survived mass incarceration and we um they're looked at. We're looked at as less than human, we are not valued, and so I always want to lead humanizing those of us that continue to be vilified. So I'm a human being. I'm a black woman, a proud black woman. I'm a mother, a

proud mother. I'm a work in progress. I'm an author, I'm an activist, and I'm also the director of the Woman a Girl's Project at the Tall Center for Health, Equity Injustice. But let's talk about the path that got you to where you are today, because reading your memoir, you discuss basically the really tragic childhood that you had that led to you getting incarcerated. So let's start at the beginning where you were in Jamaica and at a very young age you ended up coming to the United States,

but not by choice. I am I was born on an island of Jamaica. I was there up until I was like seven and a half, and it wasn't It was a beautiful childhood, but it did have hard moments. Right. My mother, my natural mother, as I know now being an adult, she had some mental health issues, right because she would oftentimes like beat me really bad, and she was into this ritualistic stuff called obia. I call it voodoo, so hurt things like that. So she dropped. Yeah, so

I still have it. If anybody feel my forehead, I still have it right here. I feel like a unicorn growing up because it was real pronounced like when I was three years old. I remember this clearly. So my family owns a bar in Portland on William Street, and it was from there I used to go play on the beach because it's like three blocks from the water.

So one day my mother and my aunt were in the back of the of the the bar and they were talking and then my mother just reaches down, picks me up, it like holds me, and then she throws me up in the air and she, you know, she catches me. She throws me up in the air. She catches me. She threw me up the third time and her hand, I didn't know, her hand didn't go went back, but I could see it now older. The hand went back and I fell flat on my face and the

concrete floor, the concree the floor. So I got this ever since. And so that was so prominent in my like in my memory, like it was something I remember because it was so traumatic and I was crying and I was like, no would pick me up, no one helped me. And I remember her and my aunt I remember it and she was like, oh wrong, witch, you know you look at her like what did you do? So they were art fighting about what she did to me, and I'm like shaking, and you know, I remember that.

She just used to do things like that. Yeah, she would just like you know, bipolar. She would just in and out, in and out. Um. When she was in. When she was with me, she used to um. You know. She would make she could cook like my mother could cook. I remember that well. And she was just so loving. She would like, you know, that's why I say it in the book. She would hold me and she loved me. And then when she was not there, you know, when she was out of it, she would do with the fire.

She burnt so my mother burnt me. She would put she would make this bad tub with scalding hot water, and she would put these herbs in it. That's all I could say, these stuff that she used to concoct whatever, and put it in there and put me in it. So I'm young, and you know your skin is more tender, you never developed yet, so she would put me in the tub and yes, wow, all right. So then you

ended up coming to New York. So I think I was like six six when my mother had a boyfriend and he was working for this a family called the Hilton's in Jamaica. And so one day my mother said, you have to go take his lunch to him. He forgot his bag of lunch. So I said, okay, and she told me where to go, so I went. It was then when I went to the house where he was working at that I met the Hiltons. And that's when I met Roy Hilton, who would then later on start talking to my mother. I guess if I can

figure it out now about bringing me to America. What was said to me was that I was going to this place, this beautiful, magical place. I mind you, I grew up, I grew up around you saw it. It's beautiful. We have butterflies and dragonflies. It's just amazing. And then New York. I was a kid and I was being I was traumatized, so I would, Um I had imaginary friends, right, so I would in my head I pictured whatever they

looked like. So I was picturing this place like that, this beautiful place, and so I was like, of course I want to go. Like what kid was It's like being a candy store. So by the time I was seven and a half, Um, I was brought to America and I really just thought I was going to Disney disney Land at the time, Disney World didn't exist yet. And um, I never went back home. Did did they know what you was going through at home? Did you? I don't know what they knew. I don't know what

they knew. But knowing what I know about the Hiltons now, I don't think it would have mattered, right because they brought me here for their own music. They were taking took advantage rich. Did they have money or I mean they were like a middle to upper middle class black family. My adoptive mother, she eventually became one of the directors

for New York State Mental Health. So by the time I was nine and a half, my father, my now father started taking me to a closet and raping me and doing all kinds, sodomizing me, all kinds of things. So by the time I was twelve, I went to school and I was tired. I was emotionally tired, I was mentally tired of tired. I was just I needed help, and my mother wouldn't help me because I said I

need a key from my door. I thought the help that I needed was just giving me a key to the door so I could lock the door, because that was in the child's way. That's you know, you can't really understand that, right. So I just needed a key glock the door so I would not be hurt anymore. But they wouldn't give me a key to the door. They wouldn't even give me a key to the apartment. It's so peculiar that for her, somebody that works in mental health and was so intelligent, clearly she knew what

was happening. And you even try to tell a counselor who contacted your mother, and it said you got in trouble, and no one believed you. And that's what's so difficult is when you're crying out for help, when you feel so isolated, and you finally had the courage to speak to not be believed. How difficult is something like that. It is. It's very and it's even it's even more. It's difficult for women. It's even more difficult for Black women.

And it's extremely difficult for black little girls. You know what I mean to be hurt and to be understood and for anybody to really want to hear what you're saying, because there was no way. At twelve, I go to school and I said I need help. I'm in pain. I'm tired of being hurt, you know. She sat me down. I looked around, and then I started getting like maybe, but I was like, no, she's gonna help me. I started feeling like, you know, like Okay, I'm gonna get

some help. She said, okay, I'm gonna call your mother. I don't know what she said to her, really, I just know that she said. The woman took the phone from her rand she said, your mother wants to talk to you. She passed the phone. I got the phone to my hand and she did with Donna Patricia. She just yelled and she said how dare you? And she

just went off. Do you think she groomed you to be there for her husband that she didn't want to be with him, and that was just you were like the sacrifice of Okay, here's how you can please yourself. And I'm gonna go back and just leave me alone. And I'm doing what I'm doing. Because she was so into her book, so into her work. She was great,

like she was that person. But when I was writing the book, you know, I had to be vetted, had to go and I had to like myself because like you have memories of stuff and you're not sure what it was. I remember it just she knew because she would leave me in the house and be quiet. Don't make a noise. Your father doesn't like to make a noise Christmas time. It's just something about Christmas time. I didn't understand that. I thought it was pretty. I never had a tree, so it was a lot to take

in as a kid. But one day I started waking up and say, I miss my mummy. I want to go home. I want my mother, you know, but my mother. You know your mother. I don't your mother hurt you. Your mother do stuff, but you know who your mother is. We have more with Donna Hilton, where we come back, don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning morning. Everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlemagne the God. We are the Breakfast Club. We have a special guest still in

the building. It's Donna Hilton. What gave you the courage? Because you know you finally decided to run away go to Philly? What gave you that car? I didn't decide that really envied. So what happened when I was fourteen, I wasn't too much. I thought I was getting saved so right, you really read the book so there. So what I didn't know really could put into words then, was that my adoptive father was doing, um these deals,

these things put him together, these situations. What he was doing was getting people that weren't citizens to marry citizens green cards, right, and so this is what the seventies, right, So it was free that like it was simpler. And there was this older guy, older man in the apartment building. I come from living in a complex, so he would often be in and out of the department. I didn't know what they were doing, but he was there. We had a terrorist. I remember one day being on a

terrorist and you know, he asked me my name. You know, he knew my name was, but he asked my name, how are you? He was just being you know, nice, and series of conversations like that, how are you, how are you feeling? Stuff like that. One day I decided, I said, I'm going to tell him because it was I was twelve when I had said something. It didn't stop. I was fourteen now and I had gotten I had taken SAT and SASAT and all this stuff, and I

had received a very prominent scholarship. And I think when I looked at it, I knew I was it was taking me out of the house. But I'd never been out of the house. Like I would never be able to go outside. I didn't have a key, I couldn't play with kids, I didn't have any social skill. And I think there was a part of me that was very afraid to go to boarding school. Yeah, I was very afraid. I didn't know what that was. But then I was also there's so many things going on. So

I have a father that's raping me every day. I had this boarding school, you know, on the and a mother that's not being a mother, and all these things right, and trying to understand and navigate that. And so he you know, he talked to me and he's like, how are you, how are you feeling? You okay? And I think he knew I have to emphasize this, and I put this out a lot on my social media. Sexual predators want you acknowledge their power, but they don't want

to acknowledge our pain. Predators no, prey. I didn't know that this older man was a predator, but he knew prey. So once I started telling him that, you know what was going on, because he got it out of me, and I told him and he listened. He didn't do what the counselor did. He didn't shut me down, he didn't tell he didn't tell that he was doing the deals with two right, So it was in the house and he would be there periodically because they were doing

the deals or whatever. So and so I opened up and I told him, and so I remember him saying to me clearly, I'm gonna help you. That was like the magical words for me. He was like, get that money and we're gonna escape in the middle of Now. That was the magical words for me, because all I wanted to do was not be taken into a closet anymore and be hurt. And it's older man's four teams like twenty five, twenty five, instant, way older than I am. I didn't know anything. He said I would take you away.

I was like, happest, please please. He became my worst night is another form of manipulation. Another but this is what they do. Really understand this, really understand this. Predators no prey. We we pray in the most vulnerable and the most vulnerable, our kids, black female children, broken homes, broken homes, poverty, you know, poverties, violence is abusive. We have all these factors. And I didn't grow up in poverty with them, absolutely not. But I grew up broken

and traumatized and hurt and very very vulnerable. And it happens. And people say, oh that that's an excuse. It's not an excuse. It's somebody's reality. Now, how they interpreted, how they react to it and respond to it moving forward. After a while, you do have to be accountable for it.

You need twenty seven years in prison. So I was convicted of the crimes of kidnapping and murder, not rape, not to rture or not sidomy, not all these things that are out there, I was convicted of kidnapping and murder and along with seven I think there was eight of us all together saw along with seven other people. I was convicted and I was sent to Bedford Hills. I was twenty, just turned twenty, just a few months

in my twentieth year, and I was still hurt. I was even more traumatized, really broken than I was even as the kid. And the prison couldn't help you into you never dealt with the traumaa. Nobody even asked, let me just be really clear, Like the justice system is flawed, right, Like justice is blind for a reason, and it's blind that really for our people of color. It's not just locked somebody up and you think you're throwing away the key,

because you're not throwing away key. Because ninety five percent of people are getting out of prisons to jails. No one's staying in jail forever. Very few that you see with the life on there and probably on death row is just not happening. So people don't realize people are coming out at some point. So we have to think about how we want people to come out. It has

to be a rehability. It has to think about that, you know, so when we go out that when we're going When I went in at twenty, I went in thinking like I was the only hurt and broken woman girl in the world. I didn't know. I had no clue that anybody else was going through what I was going through. I mean, you know, because you don't know how to even think that way. You don't even you can't see the world. And I went in there and I met young women and older women just like me.

So aside as I grew up and I started healing, and I started developing, helping develop programs in Beffort Hills to respond to all this stuff, you know, I was just like, I gotta be a part of change. I gotta do better because you know who you are after a point. But the thing is a lot of us are not allowed to know who we are. We're not given that opportunity, that choice. I have another saying that I use. You know, freedom is fleeting, justice is expensive.

If you can't afford justice, all that's left is just us. That's why I do the work that I do because all those women that I met inside, a whole lot of them shouldn't be in prison. The response to what happened to them, shouldn't be prison. It just shouldn't be prison. I feel like women prisoners get lost in thought, Like when you think math incarceration, you don't think of all of these millions of women that are in prison. You

always think of the men. So what are some of the differences between how men and women get treated helping? First of all, we have unique, right, we have unique situations and unique stories. We're unique in ourselves. Women. We go through different stuff. A lot of women that are are in the prison systems are there because, first of all, it couldn't afford it. Again, justice is expensive, right, Um,

no one cared enough to say, hey, what's wrong. No one cared enough to say, well, maybe we should do so we should we should figure out an alternative for you, right, because we respond to things differently. So, and mental health is strong, Like I went into Bedford a lot of mental health and they use the response to mostly women

of color who have mental health is isolation. It's solitary, confiding. Yeah, as a total two and a half years, but a year, a year, six months when I first went into racazol, and they call it protective custody, administrative segregation. When I tell you protective custody is isolation, is isolation. I don't know why that happened. That was six months I had to fight to get out. I went to Bedford the first couple of years I went in a whole year.

Out of that, I was in solitary con finement. And then at a point later on to not give away much of the book, yes, so and there while there, I was listening to women, young women, young women screaming and just crying and and and it just it was insane. How did you not snapp in solitary confinement like women are? No, I promise you Like people ask me that question, and I have to be really honest with that, Like, I

don't know. I just knew that I was so much more focused on the pain that I was hearing around me than my own pain. All Right, we got more with Donna Hilton when we come back. Don't move A story is amazing. It's the Breakfast Club, Good morning morning. Everybody is cej Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomagne, the god we are the Breakfast Club. Were still kicking it with Donna Hilton Charlomagne because you said you were re traumatizing jail. What are some of the links between the trauma and incarceration.

Prison in this design is abusive, is violent. That's why this one talk about shutting down right as Island. People don't understand that. You know, we get the pimped with the nimby stuff, you know, the NIMBYism, We get all this. Where are they going to go? We can't have murderers and rapists and you know out in the streets. That's not what we're saying. We're saying, how do we treat people? People just get thrown into a prison, which is violent on its face. It's just the whole thing about it.

We just did. We're dealing with the death now that you know people are being killed in prison? Is that better? Is that? Is that the response? Is that something that we should do? There's no help. How do we put people in prison for years because they have a drug addiction? Right? Prison isn't a drug unless they're an open aids. Because that's a crisis now that we have to deal with. We do need to. So when so last why I say,

like what happened in Befford Hills was unique. Beffort Hills became the model for the world with the programs that we developed. We developed the first response program that responded in prison in that situation to HIV and AIDS out of we know what was going on, how we felt, because you know, we were fortunate at the time to have a warden that said, you know who else to know what they need? But the women themselves. No one's ever taken the time I would just say, with a

good intent, with good intent, what do you need? How are you how do you feel? Right? Are you hungry? Have you eaten today? Where are you sleeping? Things like that, like, what don't you have? What do you think you might need? No one takes the time out to ask anyone that if we notice what we do in the streets, right, we walk by so many homeless people. No one cares. No one cares. I'm not walking by the home. I'm

taking real good close attention. Not have to be a little bit more better at it, though, because some people are you know, they think a fool you. But for the most part, people are not just homeless because right, they're not just homeless just because they want to be a story. Something's happening. It's the same thing to have mental illness. Right, A large percent of people in prison have mental illness, and that's not the response. Was it hard for you to just back into society? Like how

did you not come out more? No, I'm not bitter. Okay, I'll be very very very clear. Every single person that has ever done any harm to me I have forgiven before I got out. I have no hate, I have no malice, I have no anger I had and a lot of people around me respond just like that, like, ye, okay, you're better. But as you know, you said you forgave everybody. Did you reach out to the family so I wanted to. I've wrote so in here the letters that I wrote.

I was part of a writing workshop with eve Ensler, and even before that, when I was in solid Jake, if I start the book there. I started the book talking about mister V. And you know, I've been vilified by some folks saying, oh, why do I call him mister V. I'm still being disrespect What are you talking about? Like that's my way. I keep him with me every single day. I didn't kill him, I didn't kidnap him,

I didn't do anything like that to him. But I carry him with me every single second of every single day. So what I would, yeah, but new York law, you can't. How long did it take you to take accountability for your part? So I from the beginning I said that, I always said that I was guilty of driving a car. Now I never went into detail how I came to be the driver and I was a designated driver. But I still took accountability. Why because I said, Okay, I'll

go witness a sexual right act, seeing whatever between. And I had no clue. Mister I didn't know his name. I didn't know anything about mister V. Absolutely nothing at all. But when everything was said and done, a human being's life was lost, you know. And it was like how it was so? I was so angie. I felt like I was in this black void, like how did I get here? It felt like I was sinking deeper and

deeper and deeper and deeper into a hole. But that light, that light, like what I saw under the closet, something kept holding me back, like holding me back, like I was holding on too. Because we are who we really are. Majority of us, the people in the world are not bad people. We're not born bad. We're taught to hate, we're taught, we're taught to do all this stuff. We're taught to react in the way because our environments, you know, makes us react in whatever way. And it seems like

part of your defense mechanism was to disassociate yourself. I've always disassociated from what was actually happening at the moment, and you've been doing that since you were a kid. Yeah, when all the bad stuff you started happening to you, did you ever think that was because it's something they may have put on you back in the day, Like I was thinking that, you know, I'm Jamaican, absolutely absolutely, I was like, well, there's something following me? Is that?

But I want to say this too for those that believe that there's nothing greater than God. So that's how I was gonna ask what that said? What broke that? Whatever a point where you feel like if there was something on me, is broken up. I think for me, my reality was that I owned all the bad things, Like everybody that ever did anything bad to me, it was my faults as a kid, everything that happens bad. If you're in that environment, kind of environment, you own it, right,

It's like, this is my fault. The sun doesn't shine, it's my fault. People are angry, my fault, don't say anything. Be quiet. Your father doesn't like noise, go'd be quiet. So as soon as I felt like I dropped a spoon or Mike turned the radio up a little bit, I like this, Right, I started owning it. And I was already being conditioned to believing that I did it. So I believe that everything bad happened to me was mine. So when I would starting like trying to rationalize it, well,

maybe some obia did like leave off from me. Until one day I said no, all you got to do is say no. All you have to do is say no. Okay, Like how close the whole could you ever truly get? You got twenty years of views in trauma, the twenty seven years of prison. Like I don't know if any human beings ever truly whole. Right, We're in this world. All works, We all work, right, Like, come on, even if you don't act out something that's not cool, like you think about things, or you get caught up into

so much that I came out. You know, when you're taken away from society, you're in prison, you don't have all this busyness, right, I was scared to I'm still don't take me cross to the middle of the street. We have an issue there. I had to go with the life. I had to look at the white man say going right, man, stop. That's how they taught me. I was like, it didn't have pictures before, so right, yeah you were too. Um it's so much has changed, but I try to embrace as much as I can

in moments, right, Like I think I'm better at social media. Yeah, my little my Galfriday over there desert rams, Like that's why am I doing this? Right? Like I do this. I'll be looking at Jamil I like, Jamilla, how do you do this? Because I still don't even understand how to do the Instagram stuff because it's it's it's a lot. It's just a lot to um, it's just a lot to to to really grasp, right, But I just gotta

take it in spurts. What So, whatever little enjoyment that I can get in the moment, I will do that. I don't care if it's just looking up and I see the sun. And when I look up in and see the sun, the sun is not covered, it doesn't have barbed wire or gun tower. That's kind of like blocking the thing. So to me, those are moments that clear view. It's mine. Yeah right, well, it's Donna Hilton. It's the best of Club, Good Morning, the Morning. Everybody

is DJ mvy Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get to these rumors. Let's talk r Kelly lit just oh gosh, it's report Breakfast Club. So, as you know, Part two of our Kelly's interview on CBS This Morning with Gail King aired already, and one of the things that our Kelly discusses is not having any money. What is his financial situation. He wasn't able to build himself out of jail. He hasn't paid his child support. Right now he's back in jail. Here's what

he had to say. So many people have been still in my money. People was connected to my account. I went by myself for the first time to Bank of America. Didn't know what I was doing, didn't know what the hell was going on because that three weeks ago, because I was so tired of not knowing where my money was. What my publishing is, isn't that one? You then a lot of its own Well number one, he should have been banking black. Number two. This is why education is

very important. It's been always rumors that Kelly couldn't read, and he seems to be proven that that rumor true. Right there, there's an app. By the way, you don't even have to go to the bank to know what's going on with your money and get the Bank of America app and those things up online. But it's so important for you to know what going on with your own money. The fact that you haven't gone to the bank, maybe you don't want to work as phone. I'm sure

he does, all right now. Gil King also asked him, you know about making money, because he's having issues there as well. How can I pay child's top ploy him? If my ex wife is destroying my name and I can't work, how can I take that my kids? How your ex wife? Your ex wife SYS abused her? Robert rhy you're thirteen years being married? All right? Well, that's some more of the r. Kelly interview. Case you missed it this morning. We are we post to have sympathy.

I'm the I don't. I honestly don't confuse here, Like the lack of accountability is astounding in this situation. He refuses to hold himself accountable. He put himself in this situation, nobody else. All right, well let's move to something positive. All right, Barbie. It's the Barbie Dolls sixtieth anniversary this month, and they are honoring several women they view as role models. And she rows among those women. Yaa Shahiti, we know her from Blackish and Grownish. Love that. Naomi Asaka, we

know her, she's a tennis star. There have several other women who are leading the way in art, art, tech, sports, media and business. So I love the fact that they're doing this. And they said one dollar from every doll sol will go toward the Dream Gap Project. That's an initiative that's put forth by Mattel to level the playing field for girls. They said, according to research, starting at age five, girls start doubting their potential. So this is the Dream Gap. So they're gonna make sure you see

some modern relevant role models for all. So they're making dolls of these young women. Yes, they have their own dollars. Definitely, if you have a revolt, you can see what the dolls from. I'm sure any toy store. You can look online Amazon. I'm sure you can go to Jeff bass Is Amazon toy store. Yeah, those are gone. There's no toy story. You can't go to target. Target may have, but I don't think talking doesn't have a huge selection though.

American girl doll still open. Butman, girl, all right, a slave dolls? That is your report? What do have a slave dollar? American girl? I forgot her name. They do not have a slave dollar? Hold on, I got three, dude. It sounds crazy that they would have a slave Who want to be? And who want to bet it? What's the description slave doll? I'm gonna tell you right now. Who want to be? Slave doll? Animal? Now, come on, let's be slave. Hold on a second, Addie Walker, that's right,

Addie Walker. How do you know what? Why do you think she's a slave. She is a nine year old born into slavery. It is. I don't like talking to y'all because ya don't ever believe me. That's why I'm gonna be talking. You know what I'm saying that she escaped to freedom with her mother during the Civil War experience. But life was like for Addie and other young African American girls during the Civil Wars. You follow the guy to discover objects story throughout so it's in the museum.

I always want to treat me like I'm Rafiki from the Lion King. I didn't buy my three daughters. Did you buy your daughter that? Though? I think I did buy Addie the only blackness one and only black doll. They got only black dogs A slave dog who I just know Addie. That stuck. That stuck out in my mind because she was a slave dog. I was highly offended by that. Yeah, and you still bought it. But anyway, Charleney didn't read the description later black dog? All right,

what are you giving your dog? To listen? I believe everybody's faith, and you know, whatever your faith tells you to do, you should stand by that. But we need Cynthia Newman to come to the front of the congregation. He's a dean at Ridot the University. Do you want to have a conversation with her? All right, we'll get to that next. Keeping lockedice to breakfast Club. More breakfast Club, your mornings will never be the same. Hey, what up, y'allas dj envy, I knew you heard about the hot

new Samsung Galaxy as ten. It's an absolute game changer. Preordiours through March seven to get a pair of Galaxy buds for free, and if you pre order on Samson dot Com you get up to five hundred and fifty dollars for eligible trade ins the Samson Galaxy. As ten be the first time for Donkey of the Day. I'm a Democrat, so being Dunky of the Day a little bit of a mix use, so like a dope the other day. Now, I've been called a lot of my twenty three years, but Donkey of the Day is a

new wife. Yes, Donkey to Day for Thursday, March seventh goes to a former dean at Rider University named Cynthia Newman. Now. Rider University is a private university offering undergraduate and graduate programs. They have a student body of more than five thousand. They're in Jersey and recently a survey was sent to

students about potential restaurant vendors they wanted to bring on campus. Well, Chick fil A was one of those choices, and of course these students wanted it to be a possible campus edition. If you have ever had a Chick fil A chicken biscuit with egg and cheese, and you understand why, Okay, if you have ever had a number one Chick fil A chicken sandwich with cheese, and you understand why when

those waffle fries are hot, Lord have mercy. But here's the thing, Chick fil A presents a moral dilemma for anyone with a conscience. Okay, their corporate values have always been questioned because Chick fil A has always faced criticism from gay rights groups because they have donated millions of

dollars the anti gay causes and organizations. Chick fil A CEO Dan Cathy said in two twelve that the company was supportive of the Biblical definition of the family unit, which of course is one man, one woman, united together to become one flesh. You know, the sad part about this situation is people that clueless to Chick fil A stances.

Why because that boneless breasted chicken season to perfection, hand breaded, the pressure cooked and one hundred percent peanut oil, and served on a toasted butter bun with a deal pickle. It's just too damn good, all right, But some people out there are morally stronger than me, and they don't eat Chick fil A because their beliefs. I totally understand. I get it. That's your choice. And Writer University has

made that decision too. In fact, They're announced in November that they would no longer consider Chick fil A. Administrators wrote in a campus wide emailed if the move was an effort to be more inclusive, and that to change corporate values have not sufficiently progressed enough to align with those of Writer. Understandable they don't think Chick fil A's progressive enough when it comes to LGBT issues. I get it, well,

Cynthia Newman not trying to hear it, okay. Cynthia Newman said in a statement that the school has made a judgmental statement about Chick fil A's values, values that reflect the essence of the Christian as well as other faiths. While Cynthia's faith caused her to make a decision, and since Writer will not have Chick fil A, well now they won't have Cynthia Newman as a dean. Let's go

to CNN for the report. Police a dean at Writer University resigning over the decision not to consider Chick fil A for an on campus eatery, and the New Jersey school announced back in November that Chick fil A was taken off its list of possible additions because of its opposition to LGBTQ community. Cynthia Newman, wis dean of Business Administration, says it was a judgmental statement about Chick fil A's values that reflect the Christian faith. When administrators refused to

change their position, Newman resigned. Will remain on the faculty in a different role. The university says in a statement they respect her personal decision, but choosing an on campus restaurant franchise was in no way a judgment on religious values. I know Cynthia is saying she stepped down because of her Christian faith, but I really think she stepped down because of the fact that she would not be able to pull up the campus in the morning and walk

to get her those chicken minnies for breakfast. Okay, bro those bite sized Chick fil A nuggets nestled in warm while mouth watering many yeast roles, lightly coated with a honeybutter spread. Well, See, when you're from South Carolina, like me, or the South in general, you don't realize how good we got it when it comes to Chick fil A until you move up north. Okay, Chick fil A just got up here like what two years ago? Yeah, about two years ago out there, okay, and they's still not everywhere,

especially in New Jersey. See. I don't know where Cynthia is from, but when you're from the South to only inconvenience we have with Chick fil A if the fact it's not open on Sundays. So I'm not too short. Cynthia resigned is dean because of her faith. I think she resigned because she had dreams of walking through campus to grab her a spicy chicken sandwich. Lord, have mercy have boneless breast of chicken season with a spicy blend

of peppers. Man, listen, Cynthia love God, I'm sure, but I think it was our love of Chick fil A that caused her to resign. But let me get back to the matter at hand and why I'm giving Cynthia donkey today. Cynthia, you are the dean of College of Business Administration. You are a beam of light to those kids. I'm sure your job as dean is to handle the complaints of those students. You're supposed to be there for them. I know that you think right a university offended Christians

because you ask them to apologize. But Cynthia, you're a grown You know which three things people will hardly ever agree on and they will cause disputes and arguments. One is religion, two is politics, and three who's better? Big Year Tupac. You can't be an adult who quits every time someone doesn't think like you are beliefs or doesn't

believe what you do. Okay, diversity of thought, diversity of belief is exactly what America should be about, and I would think on a college campus that would be reflected and respected. Listen, Cynthia, those kids that writer need you more than they need chick fil A. All right, Chick fil A coming to Writer University is not going to help shape those kids futures, but you could. Chick fil A coming to Writer is not gonna make those kids

better people. But you can't. Chick fil A coming the writer may put something good in those kids mouths and stomachs, but you, as a dean kid is still great things in those kids minds. I'm not knocking you over your choice, but when it comes to chicken to those kids, you should have gave the chicken up flint. Not your job. Please get former Dean Cynthia Newman a Writer University. The sweet sounds of the Hamletones Police. Oh no you are dogee? Oh the day? Do gee, oh the day? Ye. Well,

thank you for that. Don kid to day. Anybody want chick filor no? You sure? I see a couple of yesses and here quite a few yearses you got two interns out there? Lee answer or eat they deliver through. I am messing with you this morning. All right, thank you for that Donkey to day? Up next asking eight five eight five one on five one. If you got a relationship question, you could ask he right now, phone line to wide open, hit us up. It's the breakfast Club,

come morning, the breakfast Club pulling. Everybody is DJ Envy Angela, yee charl. I mean the guy we are the breakfast Club? Is time for ask? Hey? Hello? Who's this Mark? Mark? What's your question for you? Bro? This is not really a really good question, but I just genuinely wanted to know how would you guys get through the day with daughters in the purpose? So talk to me. Um, you feel like what you're not doing what you want to be doing? Your your facing depression. I mean not to

get into it, but kind of sort of. I mean I'm pretty young, so I feel like I shouldn't really do like this, But you guys DJ Charlemagne and you know, you guys seem to have found your niche at some point in your life. So I wanted to know what is it exactly that you did or how was it that you got over the you know that before before where you found your purpose and after to get to the point you're right now. Well, I think it is important for you to make sure that you are actually

engaging in activities like do you spend your day? Just kind of like what do you do? Do you go to work? Do you go to school? I haven't gone to school since May. I work a crappy job. I mean every day drive there, my face is just bland. I'm not really enjoying. I'm at the end of my rope with this type of stuff. So the number one thing is if you don't like your job and you hate it, it's time for you to figure out what else you can be doing and to look for something else.

You know, you're not stuck in any situation. So even just going out and seeing what's out there and doing interviews and all of that is going to give you some type of motivation to realize that you know you're not stuck in the situation that you're in. You know that, right, you can get another job. Oh it's not a really good job things, of course I get another job, but it'd be the same situation to where I'm doing a nine to five that I'm not fulfilling. That you don't

have to do a nine to five. What is it that you want to do? That's such a vague question, you know, I mean, that's not a question that you could really ask. Like, I've done YouTube do yours before. I enjoyed that, But you kind of get discouraged when you don't get the feedback that you'd like. What I put into I didn't get back, so I kind of give up on that. A lot of times people give

up when they don't get results right away. But consistency is so important when you're trying to build something for yourself. Are there classes that you can take other things that you're interested in outside of your job, because you can't just get cut up in the nine to five that you have. Now, what else are you doing outside of that that you enjoy that can bring something to your

life that can help you for your future. Because none of us got to where we got to by just doing what we were doing in our nine to five. We all had other hustles. We all worked non stop to get to a point where we got to, but we also did things that we enjoyed. And so even if you're not making money doing something, at least you're doing something that you enjoy that could eventually make you money. But you have to have some type of goals instead

of talking your self out of things. Understood. I appreciate good advice. I know the time limited. I really did genuinely want to do route day. You know, do you have any responsibilities, any kids anything like that? No, bro, I got nothing going on, and that this is the time when you need to do it. You don't have any kids. You really can live for yourself right now. Find something that you enjoy. Don't worry about the money right away. The money will come if if you're really

good at it and you enjoy it. When I started dj and I loved it, it wasn't about making money. I used to stay in the basement, old day, old night, just DJing and practicing because I really enjoyed it and I loved it. And then the money came from there. And you enjoy doing your YouTube videos. Just because you didn't get the response you want it right away, or maybe you're not making money from it right away, doesn't mean to stop. Because as something, nobody goes on YouTube

starts making videos and makes money right away. Maybe your thing is going to be editing videos and going to school and figuring out how to do that professionally and hooking up with other people. Maybe you need to learn to start doing things not just on your own, but teaming up with other people who are like minded. I understood, don't give up. Yeah, if you can do YouTube videos and working on to five and still get that break, you just gotta put the hours in. It's one hundred

and sixty eight hours in a week. I don't know why people don't realize that you can do forty hours work in a job, forty hours doing your YouTube videos and still have one hundred And I'm stupid at math. I didn't go to a lot more hours. You got more, got a lot more hours to do whatever else it is you want to do as well. Okay, if I could say one more thing or let me not a lot of things play a part and the people would stay the mind during situations kind of have them in

position toward they can't achieve things that they want. Life isn't guaranteed to be successful and people would die and you know they're unsuccessful. Bro, you're depressing me. Either you can or you can't, know what? Listen, Listen No matter what, though you have to work hard, you can't be upset about not achieving something that you haven't worked hard to even try to achieve. And I think that it's important

to also not talk yourself out of it. Like I feel like everything we say you have a rebuttal of why it can't happen. Instead of thinking about why it can't happen, thinking about how it can happen and take those steps. You do it. Either you can or you can't, whatever you think, you're right, Okay, appreciate it. Guys. All right, money, Oh my god? You still I'm just asking, all right, asking eight five A five one on five one if you need relationship advice to any type of advice. He

now was the breakfast club, Good morning? All the breakfast club were in the middle of ask ye, Hello, who's this Hello? This is Chantel, good morning, breakfast club. Yeah, So I just wanted to say that Charlomagne is definitely right about the tickil a Um. I live in South Carolina and the only thing is really Sunday is the worst day because it's closed. But I want to ask you, So, I've been talking to this guy for a couple of

months now and everything is doing really well. But when we get it to that part conversation of like or we're gonna make this a relationship, like almost like putting a title on it, it gets a little like mush mouth like it kind of he kind of doesn't want to talk about it, like he's like, well, we're good, or yeah, why do you want to like put a title on it? Or and all this you know, craziness, And I'm just confused to like do what we do everything like we're a couple, but we're not a couple.

He has so he wants to give himself out just in case he feels like doing something else with somebody else. At least he can say, well, it's not like we're in a relationship, right, Yeah, that's what a lot of

my friends are saying too. But it just it confuses me because it's like when I'm when I'm ready to be like okay, well, we could just be friends and not fit and then if I start talking to other people, he is me like the thought of like, so you're you're talking to other people, and I'm like, well, we're you won't you won't call us anything. So what am

I supposed to do? Yeah, you gotta stop giving him. Listen, if you guys are not aligned on clearly you want to be in a relationship, he is telling you he doesn't want to put a title on it. Therefore, he's telling you that he doesn't want to be in a relationship. And why woody, he's getting all the benefits of being in a relationship with you without having to really be in one. So you're the person that has a decision to make, and that decision is he's told me that

he doesn't want to do that. Am I going to continue to have this loose situation where he's allowed to do what he wants, which means therefore you're allowed to do what you want even though he makes you feel guilty about it. When you do do it, you know that's up to you. So he's telling you what it is now, your move is next? Is your move going to be? Okay? I'm gonna stop acting like I'm in a relationship with somebody who won't claim me, or are you gonna say I'm done with this? I'm a data

other people. We still cool. If you decide to come around, let me know. But I'm not going to allow you to just have this friendship with benefits with me, right, Yeah, that makes sense. I'm gonna text him when I get off to both. All right, good listen. You have to you have to set the standard for what you want. If what you want is to be in a relationship, you set that standard. If that's not what he wants to do, then don't be confused about it. That's not

what you're here for. Thank you so much. All Right, you're welcome you all right? Ask ye eight hundred five eight five one oh five one. If you need relationship advice, you could hit ye anytime. We got rooms on the way. Yes, let's do something cute. Let's talk about Chance the rapper. He is discussing how him and his girlfriend met and it's a super cute story. Don't need to move out to Chicago if you know what, I know? What's that Chicago having a terrible year? Okay, whatever? That black cloud

is going over to Chicago. I hope you don't touch a chance the rapper right because justice m let all Kelly got Chicago looking crazy. All right when we come back, rumors on the way, it's the breakfast club. Good morning. Somebody got a ticket? They that the worst, I mean, waiting on hold, wait what happened? And then they finally answered the phone. And you really can't do a talk right because you gotta run walked out. He was paying a ticket, paying the ticket. I can't he do that online.

I think he doesn't know how to do that stuff online. Definitely doesn't know how. He doesn't now to use the Worldwide weather definitely know how to use the world Wide webbing. He's he looked stressed to look at me. He looks stressed for I don't know what the ticket for. Is he gonna fight it? I don't know? Let me ask him right fast? Where is it going on? I gotta do rumors? Yo, what's the ticket for driving naked? He told me? Shut up? Okay, they won't tell us what

the ticket is. Anyway, Let's get to the rumors to talk, all Kelly. This is the Rumor Report with Angela well More with R. Kelly from this in morning. He was on with Gil King on CBS this morning and as we all and Jocelyne, those are the two women who are living with him. They had this to say about their relationship and being with him. We're with him with him, that's what it is. And we're in a relationship with him,

a very strong relationship as well with you. Yes, most definitely. Yeah, we both have our individual relationships with him, and we all our family all together. We have our moments where we sit and watch movies altogether, we go to amusement parks altogether. Do both of you all believe you're in love with him? Absolutely? So what is this big love? Is it just like big love? We're a big happy family. Yeah, they're like, listen, is all these people that have multiple girlfriends? Is?

But they're saying now. They also talked about their parents. Should your parents be concerned? Now? My parents knew where I have always been for four years. They have no They know that I've been well taken care of. They never thought you were missing as well. They just were wondering if you were okay. Well, my parents have actually came to Chicago and seeing me a few times. I've talked to them they stopped answering my calls. I talked to your dad last night. He says, my daughter is brainwashed,

and he's very concerned. He said he was here two days ago and you wouldn't even look him in the eye. Okay, I wouldn't look him in the eye because he's a liar. Something is strange, Something is wrong with this scenario. It's not just just what it seems like. There's something wrong. Charlote's on his knees. No, I was gonna got to m view another line. This is interesting because I don't see the point of viewing to jump back in the conversation, I don't see the point of interview in these two

women because they haven't accused Kelly are doing anything. So all they're doing is kind of helping all Kelly. And why I have to about Kelly wants he's doing this interview because he wants to get sympathy from people. He wants to act like he hasn't done anything wrong. And then he has these young women who he's coached through to come on and say what they have to say.

Got back on, Lady's calling you the ladies calling, so you're right, So why give him the platform after the surviving or Kelly dock in the fact they got him charged, Now why give him the platform to try to humanize them in any We're gonna pay your ticket to talk us. This is ratings gold. That's why what else we got? All right? Now? I don't know if you guys have Well, let's tell a cute story now off the hill. Can we turn his micro office. Let's talk about Chance the Rapper.

He shared a story of meeting his fiance. You know, they met when he was only nine years old, and he knew that he was going to marry her one day. Now, he went on Twitter, this guy, come on, why aren't the pay ticket right now? He couldn't wait till after the show anyway. He went on Twitter to share how they met and how he first laid eyes on her, and he posted a picture of the day. He said that I first met my wife. What do you what do you play? What ticket is this man? This man

get out of here. Just talk to the show, he said. In the year two thousand and three, my mom used to work as a real estate agent at a black owned franchise. He said. One night she took my dad and my brother and idem one of her office parties. So he said, he was probably playing a game boy in the corner. But then out of nowhere, we were all told to make room, to spread out and make

a circle for a presentation for Destiny's Child to perform. Now, of course it wasn't really Destiny's Child, but it was a group of three young girls who were singing um independent and yeah, that's how they first kind of Destiny's child, emulating Destiny's child. He said that they locked eyes. He said he was, well, really he was just staring at her as she and her girls were conquering their choreography and mastering the art of lip syncing in a way

even the most professional performance have yet to accomplish. So he said, at that time, you know, he knew that was going to be his fiance, so that was super cute. Um. They tried to get him to perform. His dad tried to get him and perform, and he wouldn't. Chance better be careful because it's a black cloud over Chicago. Right now, we're not talking about black cloud. Can you get back on and pay your ticket and get out of here. Chance, with the way things are going to Chicago, Chance may

really not be a rapper. Okay, all right. So he said that she was Kelly Rowland by the way, in the crew and she was there dancing because her mother was my mom's boss. And he said he didn't see her again until south By Southwest twenty twelve in Austin, Texas. That's where they met, and eventually back in Chicago they connected the dots. Nice, there you go. Beautiful story. All right, all right, I mean de la yee and that. Well, you know what, I didn't even get to Nia Riley.

Do we have time? No? You got a minute? All right? Well, let's just skip ahead to Nia Riley. She was on Marriage boot Camp and a lot of people were concerned because her and Soldier Boy had a physical situation on the show. But she also went on Van Leath into Red Pel podcast and this is what she had to say about her relationship with Soldier Boy. Yeah, he got upset because I wasn't feeding into his bullshit and I started to talk to him exactly how he speaks to me,

and he got upset about it. Has there ever been any physical abuse between you two in the past, Yes, it's been that bad, with black eyes and things of that nature. Maybe. Wow, Wow, I thought they were on good terms. Soh now you back, Well, I'm finished talking to him. All right, Well you know what, that's Teddy Riley's daughter, right, I mean, yes, they gotta beat up soldier and that's your rumor report. And you know what else gotta fight. I tried the new flavors that are

vanilla coke and orange vanilla coke zero sugar. Yeah you heard that right, And I have to tell you it's a great combination of coke, orange and vanilla flavor. Head to your closest retailer today and try him out. This is what scares me about this every time you do this as you do it so out of the blue and so abruptly, but you always started off with I tried coke, and I'm like, yeah, that's how you acting. That's not even what it says. Okay, my goodness, you

worry about your little ticket. He just paid it. Actually, are you fighting it? When I know when I got pulled over. You know, the lady pulled me over twice. She pulled me over once she gave me the ticket, and I told her that. Then she pulled me over again to tell me that I'm one of the nicest people that she ever met. That's what she says. She literally get out, literally pulled me over again and tell me I'm one of the nicest people that you ever met.

But when I went to go look in the system for my ticket, the ticket wasn't there, so I said that while to go, I didn't know that. So yeah, so I called, and then I think the white man on the phone trying to set me up because he's telling me to plead not guilty, because he said if I plead guilty, I'm gonna lose three points off my license. He said, you should plead not guilty, but I don't want to be in no court online. Yeah, you need to plead the reason you pleaded guilty because you don't

than those three points to raise your car insurance. But and then take a to and then you'll end up just getting fine and not have to make the point. I ain't nothing worth than getting locked up for a suspended license. That's the stupidest, annoying and it just wants your money's plead not guilty. The guy, the white guy was right on someone and you might not have to get nothing. Who can I tell on you you'l didn't tickety did something crazy crazy you want to tell, asked Angela.
