Karen to me was never a villian in MAFS. I loved her from the first moment. She wanted to be sure before giving her heart to someone that may not have been committed/deserving. I'm very happy to see that she is speaking up on the situation.
💯
Karen being labeled the “villain” has always rubbed me the wrong way. I was fighting for my life in the MAFS comments. From day 1 I’ve seen her as someone who wanted to be sure about her “person”. She wanted to be sure before she opened herself up fully. She’s such a sweet soul. I pray this helps her heal & I pray she finds her person. I really hope she knows she has real supporters who are genuinely praying for her. 🫶🏽🩵
Same!!
My heart goes out to Karen God is a meander of a broken heart you are humble and a beautiful soul. You're well educated God will send you the right man to love you. Miles knew he wasn't committed he's been confused since day one and still is. We see the real issue was and is him. I'm shocked he used her to loose weight and for a social platform now he wants privacy. Thank you Karen for sharing a very emotional subject you will get through this and be able to help someone in the same situation. He did you a favor someone is coming to celebrate you and not just tolerate you you deserve better and it's coming!
Same here! By nothing but pick me women! Sad that society always blame women, for relationship challenges.
Should have never been on that show. She’d didn’t do anything special but be on a reality show. That’s it that’s all.
@@executiveblack403who are you again????
This interview was REALLLLY good! I loved how Karen was so candid and true to her own experience and still was respectful of others. Thats class you can't buy! I will admit I was one that initially thought she wasn't giving Miles a chance but then after the show... following them on social media I started feeling like it was A LOT she wasn't saying to protect him. This interview confirmed that. Im so glad that she's coming into her season of confidence. I hope she never again dims her own light just so someone else's can shine. Karen... you are worthy... you are enough! ❤
So glad I watched this! I do wish there were less interruptions but overall, this was a great convo! The show definitely gave the impression that Karen was the villain but this was a gentle reminder that we truly don’t know the half of people’s lives and perception is not always fact. I pray for the best for both of them. I think they are both growing individuals (as we all are). Those were very wise words about shame toward the end. Thank you to this platform for spotlighting her story! ❤
Well said 👏🏽👏🏽
From the first moments I saw Karen, she was my favorite of the whole season.
I also thought it was great to continue to follow her story on social media after the show was dine..
I always had a hard time standing up for her on social media because I could see then that the show was trying to portray her differently than she really was. Each season, the show searches for the bad women.
I wish her the best in life.
May God bring her, her right man. because she really deserves it.
Such a transparent, respectful, and tastefully edited interview. I have always adored Karen and wish her all the best!
Karen, I’m so proud of you! I know how difficult divorce is because I’ve been there. Keep pushing mama and keep God first! You got this Killa K!
This was a great interview. I really wish the interviewer leaned more into the comments Karen was making about heartbreak, I think hearing more of what happened and how she’s been able to overcome those feelings to be the woman she is today would’ve been amazing to hear.
Karen, I am so sorry this relationship did not work. You guys looked so good together, I know there were challenges you guys went through with Miles depression issue. You will be a stronger person in the long run and it will hurt less as time goes on. There is a person that will love you for you. Just love yourself first. Blessing to you. 🙏💜💜💜
Im happy she was able to tell her side. Hurt is hurt i praying she continues to overcome her pain and finds someone who enjoys her the way she needs
At least she came to speak upon her new endeavors and past reflections..I liked it wish everyone peace and love. Positivity is what will help continue growth and healing.
First time here cause I thought about Karen and Miles. I’m very glad you did this interview. I’ll be back to watch future guests but it would be much more enjoyable if you let your guest speak and finish their thoughts.
Perception vs. Reality - What a beast! 😬 Insightful interview. 💯
Great interview!! So happy she let us in and clarified so many things, not that she had too. Be blessed Karen and do you. Everyone deserves a King, he'll find you and treat, and honor you for the Queen you are.
Prayers for healing, Karen. 🙏🏾❤️🩹. Thanks for sharing.
She seems so normal. Like a really good person. An absolute catch for someone worthy of her. Don’t settle Karen. 🙏🏽🙏🏽
Beautiful interview. Vulnerable, loving, feeling human. They tried to make her look bad but it was easy to see she wasn't that. Healing takes time. You got this.
Really enjoyed watching this. Definitely allowed us to see Karen in a different light. One that is more authentic and genuine than what was portrayed on tv. I can’t wait to see what God does in and through her moving forward. We’re definitely cheering for her. 🎉
I saw how beautiful her spirit was on MAFS from the beginning. Too many were hell bent on expecting her to choose Miles and made her into the villain.
I’m so glad Karen did this. This interview allows us to really SEE her. Your tribe SEEs you Karen!! 🫶🏽
Karen i am soo proud of how far u have came since u have left MAFS. I can see why u were so skeptical and not having the trust and not being vunerable the way u wanted to be. U did not know anything personally about Miles. So i pray that u heal from this and that u find ur person. U are very strong and matured.
I loved Karen from day 1 and I hate the way they portrayed her. When you are a Black, quiet and reserved woman, they always paint you as a villain or stuck up and I hated that for her! I loved this!
This was an awesome interview. Karen thank you for your vulnerability and courage. I’m rooting for you , you deserve ALL THE THINGS God has in store for you. Congratulations on your cookbook and I wish you love and light on your journey.
I pray people watch this video and see Karen’s true heart!
Amen! 🙏🏾 and that she always knows that God is carrying her thru this heartbreak..
Karen was my fav person on the new orleans season. I see so much of myself in Karen. My heart is with her and i hope she finds the peace and happiness she deserves ❤
I have advocated for Karen since day one and I understood fully where she was coming from even when the edits made it seem as if she was a horrible "B" who was broken and needed to heal. It was apparent to me that she wanted to make sure she knew who this guy was before she gave away her heart even though she had reservations. The problem is that she went through with the process with the hope of finding her person when she should have trusted her gut. Not trusting your gut creates anxiety, which clearly translates poorly on camera.
On the flip side of that, I've always seen through Miles. I feel like God has given me this wonderful gift of discernment, and I have a pretty good judge of character. With that being said, I've always considered him to be rehearsed and curated for lack of a better word. I'm not saying he's a bad guy, but I never believed he was ready or truly invested . He always seemed as if he was doing this just because someone else told him to do it. He seems more like a people pleaser and wanted to be liked by the world more than he wanted to be committed.. (if that makes sense). Either way, I don't know what the future holds for either of them, but I pray they both get what they need, whether that's individually or collectively.
Thank you for this cause people don't want to see one being protective or even questioning ones "portrayed persona". This gal is so vulnerable it's palpable even in her voice when she speaks about her personal life and feelings. She genuinely loved Miles, I hope and pray that they get through this forest and find each other again.🙏🤎
yep he talks in circles and never seemed authentic so she was right with her initial suspicions.
SAME
She has a beautiful soul and I wish at better life for her.
Much love to Karen ❤️ she’s so classy & beautiful. it’s nice to hear her story she shouldn’t have been painted as the villain!!
I love this❤ so happy she's speaking her truth. I always knew she was an amazing person this just confirmed it. Keep being you killa!!
That was deep what the host said about people carrying so much shame and pilling back layers and not wanting to deal with people knowing certain things about them etc 1:06 on transcript
WE LOOOOOOVVVEEE YOU KAREN!!!! MAY GOD GET THE GLORY THROUGH YOUR STORY AND MAY YOU FEEL PEACE AND LOVE THROUGH THIS ENTIRE EXPERIENCE. YOU'RE AMAZING AND REGARDLESS OF HOW PEOPLE MIGHT HAVE PORTRAYED YOU. DON'T FORGET TO LOVE YOURSELF GIRLIE AND STAY BEAUTIFUL!!! :)
I love this! Karen I salute you for being so vulnerable and sharing your story. God has a plan for you and he's not done! Lean in Sis!
Great interview. Raw respectful, honest .. kudos Karen . As much as i was rooting for the relationship to work. I always understood your reservations. Blessings and healing to you both
I have seen Karen in a totally different and positive light. So sorry for her separation and pray for her comfort and peace of mind.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤we love you Karen
I'm happy that she was able to speak out, you are an inspiring and amazing person. I always admired Karen and
I wish her the best.
*tears* Karen!!!! You did it girl! You are doing it! Keep going! Great interview!
This was beautiful rooting for Karen…. She was so realistic on the show and I loved that.
I love Karen’s spirit! She’s such a beautiful woman, inside and out!
I am so proud of her authencity and as a black woman so strong power and posed. I need this cookbook and the new instagram
Wow after watching this Karen is such a gem, I hate that I fell into the trap of judging her based off a tv show. She will be such a blessing to the right person. She is such a gem!
Great interview. I relate to Karen a whole lot and being misunderstood. Praying for her happiness and success!!!! You can do it Karen!
Wishing the best for her & Miles. Hearing that she has her own mental health challenges gives a different perspective to why she appeared cold on the show. I think love did exist on both ends in their marriage but it wasn’t meant to be long-term for them.
I'm so proud of Karen and the way she spoke about everything ... It's a YOU season Queen you go ahead and do you ❤️
This background music is so distracting 😳
*edit. It stopped.
Whew. So glad I stuck it out!!!! Great interview from interviewer and interviewee 💕💕💕
I agree both of them I pray they heal and found strength within themselves prior to getting into another relationship
I can’t wait to finish watching this. I was a fan of Karen since the show aired. Riding hard for her in the comments. Cursed plenty of y’all out behind her 😂. Still a fan of her content with just her, hell she’s the only person from her season I still follow on social media.
You should follow Brianna and Imani and their families, you would love them too.. I'm just saying.. Miles and Woody were best friends...
Such a good genuine and real conversation
So close to home: and God sent me this message right on time. Karen thank you for your mustard seed words. 🙏🏾
A wonderful open conversation with Great Souls. Very beautiful to see so much truth!
Bless her ❤
Praying for you Karen!!! Divorce is hard and I feel that love is still there. I pray that things work out for you both! Keep trusting in God and his word!! He will bring you through!!!
So many similarities! The biggest was living in the box and wanting so desperately to get out; yet not having sufficient life and love skills to truly be confident there. For that reason you feel stuck in Darned if I do and Darned if I don't. Hearing you has caused me to lean in more and consider that success is not necessarily having everything turn out the way I would have wanted, but the fact that I didn't let the box keep me back. You know? It's a new definition of success that means more to me than playing it safe. I look forward to following you and celebrating you "coming into your own."
Thanks for sharing Karen's story! I've always admired her, and I really needed that today.
I absolutely loved this!! If you really paid attention to Karen on MAFS you could tell she was going through it. Maybe it's my background in television but I could tell they were really trying to push a narrative on her it made me so sad that so many fell for it. Thank you Karen for being vulnerable and continue to take up all the space!! The host was lovely as well! Just one suggestion this is my first time watching and I subscribed but I would limit the music during the interview or at least turn it down. It can take the emotion out of the answers to the questions. Otherwise it was an amazing interview.
What a beautiful conversation! Im glad Karen got to speak her truth and did so eloquently. Karen I just want to say from what you’ve shown you are beautiful inside and out! Some of us saw right through the villain editing and saw your heart! Best wishes on finding your forever love in God’s timing! I can’t wait to see what you do next! Love my cookbook and waiting on the next edition with the shrimp and crawfish etoufee included… with measurements!😉🤣💜
Whole new perspective of Killa. Wow. So glad I got to hear the other side of the story and she was soooooo respectful of Miles when she could’ve dogged him. I’m sorry for judging you girl. Hate that tv painted you this way.
"Marriage Be Hard". I've been married for almost 34 years. Some times I feel like divorce would be better. Why? I have young children and they say dating is hard. So, was Miles already in love with someone before he married Karen. Karen is a real catch. The struggle with anyone is real. You work through everything in life. Anyway I wish them both the best.
I do believe that God warned Karen multiple times before she walked through the aisle…… it’s not a coincidence that Karen knew who she was marrying before she did. That was a way out….. she had another warning within her spirit as well! Karen knew and I just wish she would’ve headed the warnings.
Same here.
When God shows you a way out, take it...
I totally agree with you both. God offers us a realm of escape but He's a gentleman and will never interfere with your choice.
Timing is everything and all in all I know this has all worked for her good.
Wow what a humble lady and her story about her life was so interesting. Karen you are a beautiful person and I hope that you find a husband who appreciate and complement you.
My mom always taught me not to judge anyone, because you never know a person’s journey.
I love this interview! I have a whole new respect for Karen and definitely can relate to a lot of things that she talked about. I wish nothing but the best for her and I commend her for telling her truth🤍
I love this Karen! Thank you for sharing! You will get through this! ☀️
I truly enjoyed this interview and you allowing Karen to speak her truth! I follow her on all platforms and even bought the cookbook. Karen, thank you for your vulnerability and showing us the "real" you! I love you sis and I'm rooting for you! #GodGotYou #GodGotUs #ProtectBlackWomen
I loved Karen on the show and am grateful this you gave her the space to speak her truth. I do wish that sometimes you let her speak more. Like when she was talking about her ex-husband and started to go into detail on their relationship you interjected and went on to speak. Otherwise, I enjoyed watching this dialogue and hearing Karen's perspective.
Agreed.
Really proud of you, Karen!! Really proud of you. 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
Awesome interview….Karen looks beautiful!❤
Sending so much love to Karen! Even while the show was airing she was my favorite. You can tell she’s such a genuine person and I wish her all the best in all her future endeavors 🤍
Great interview. Glad Karen has spoken her piece.
Just watched. Karen you were amazing, you are amazing. Thanks for sharing your heart. Yes, misconception is a mutha 😊 Peace & Blessings 🌞
I like her, she is a humble human being
The truth has been revealed! Karen, good luck with finding your soulmate! You are a respectful woman and there will be a man out there who will check off all those boxes and go the distance. ❤ god bless!
Glad Karen could finally speak her truth and I always defended her in the mafs comments, it was a lot to take on marrying a stranger and she wanted to be sure. Just my opinion but I felt like miles wanted to be catered to off rip and he didn’t let the process take its course and after the show take it slow, I felt like he was a mommas boy and it was all about him and his needs, so I’m glad they both agreed to separate and praying for healing for both of them. I pray Karen find someone who appreciates her loves her genuinely ❤
At first, I didn't care Karen on MAFS. As a MAFS fan, I always struggle to relate to the MAFS participants that seem to hold back in getting to know their new spouses. MAFS is a show but it is also real life. They agree to an arranged marriage based on the experts matching them with a spouse based on what is provided to ensure the partner is the best fit for them. And they are aware that they are marrying a stranger and you will only have a few weeks to get to know this spouse to decide if you want to continue the relationship. So when Karen seemed reluctant to open up to Miles based on what was shown on the show and he was making an effort, it was hard to understand her purpose in being on MAFS. Then when they decide to stay together and she seem to blossom more in her social media personality, I really saw more of the woman she is and was becoming. And in the last year, it was apparent she was going through a transition and healing process and I really relate to her more. I respected her for taking her time gracefully to discuss their relationship. And love that she has continued to flourish and shine. I don't know if she will read these comments but thank you for having the courage to share your story. I understand more of who she is. It really shows how a situation that could have been seen as bad, really turn into a positive.
I think Miles knew Karen would become so big in a different way than him. She's only just begun!
Great conversation. I'm proud of you, Karen. Keep on believing.
Wow, such a great conversation! You're such a beautiful soul and I'm glad you're sharing that with everyone
Great interview!
Sending love to Karen 🫶🏾❤️. Victoria, you’re amazing!
This was definitely refreshing and eye-opening to watch. I must admit, I never really considered the narrative that reality tv show producers might curate in comparison to what's actually true. I definitely did feel Karen was a bit shallow from how they portrayed her finding out about Miles on the wedding day. From the jump, I feel the "experts" were wrong for pairing them together, and I say that mainly because he was vocal about his mental health struggles from the start and I do not think it's fair to pair a STRANGER with someone battling such a thing.
I am happy that Karen decided to speak up and let people know HER side, it wasn't fair that they depicted her in such light. Wishing you great things on this new journey of yours, Karen.
Lastly, I'd like to add some constructive criticism for Victoria. This was a great interview! I did notice that you cut Karen off several times while she was talking to either comment, give your interpretation of what she might be saying, or relate to your own story. While I know your intentions weren't to cut her off, it took away from the interview a bit because we really want to hear what Karen has to say about her own story.
Thank God she's free! I was pissed at how Karen was labeled and portrayed by black people, and sadly it was a lot of bw coming for her. Karen was expected and bullied into giving a " good" bm a chance. She wasn't attracted to him for her own personal and valid reasons, but she was expected to put her desires to the side, which is something no one would EVER demand of a bm. He has the RIGHT to his perferences. A lot of these males are needy and will drain the hell out of you instead of getting help and focusing soley on bettering themselves. Karen needs to open her options, so that she can find happiness!
If she opens her options I most definitely believe she will not be single for long.
If she wasn’t attracted to him- why did she stay?
@lisaellis7137 Because she didn't follow her intuition and tried to make it work. When you have a deep desire to be married, fear and desperation will rule you even when you know it's wrong.
@lisaellis7137 Exactly..Both should have said no on decision day💯💯
Loved this for you Karen! It was so good!!
I always understood what Karen was saying…she was asking Miles to be real.. Miles is still not real…. Karen … you didn’t follow your gut.. but your gut was right… I think Miles entered the show because his friends were applying.. Karen will meet her person…
Good for you Karen!!
MY MOM WOULD SAY "YOU WAS NOT MARRIED LONG ENOUGH AND YOU'LL BE FINE"
I still would like to know what happened? She Talks about abandonement and her heart being broken!
I’m very proud of you Karen. I GOT WHERE YOU WERE COMING FROM DAY 1. And I knew MAFS was making you seem difficult.. but I also understood you were marrying a stranger and that alone is scary!!!! I LOVE you just the way you are… continue to use discernment, continue to question every move, continue to be selective, continue to trust God, continue to allow God to lead you! Karen Landry continue to be KAREN she’s a Dope soul!❤
I’m so sorry that Karen has to feel so put down from this show because she never gave the vibes that the show put out of her to me. To follow her on social media is to see the real her and I love her personality I just feel like the relationship they put her in with Miles was always going to be an uphill battle and it’s just sad that it couldnt work out because of the circumstances. I love you Karen and I hope you get everything you deserve in life! Girl your man is coming! ❤
Nice to see Karen express her truth. No one will understand the challenges she dealt with marrying someone who suffers from depression. Wish her personal healing.
Respectfully to the host, you interrupted too much and talked too much let her tell her story. I look forward to more interviews
Lord, I hope people who see her as horrible woman would allow themselves to see through the walls because not all of us are out-there when it comes to opening up more especially on relationships...call it insecurities or whatever, it's okay. If you can't see what this woman has been longing for in a partner then
don't judge because you're not inclined to that space! This gal has lived her life with married parents and is highly traditional in her views on marriage. So, this influences one to a high degree.
We just need to respect that we are not the same, will never navigate things and life the same🤎.
Now I wanna watch the show again, I do remember thinking she was a lil frustrating to watch. I wish in this interview she spoke more about the difficulty of the first 8 wks and how or why they were able to transition
Loved this interview! Prayers up 🙌🏽🙏🏽
Love this!
The woman that she is becoming and will become out of this, WOW! She will be able to say like David said in Psalm 119:71, "...it was good that I was afflicted..." ☺️🙏🏾
Amen❤
Nice interview. Lots of vulnerable moments. Victoria, great personality but try to allow your interviewee to complete their thoughts uninterrupted. You both are gems and I enjoyed this moment you shared.
Where is the links for Karen's cookbook?
K never really got a chance to show her real personality on MAFS. She was painted in a bad light from the beginning. Obviously she couldn’t have been that bad if she’s a cast member, but TV has to have a villain. I commend them both for giving the relationship a chance and hope they have some loving memories together cherish. I also hope there’s no bad blood between them. Back to K though…I’m elated to see more of her personality on social media where she’s in control of the narrative. She seems like a chill, genuine hearted person and she doesn’t get enough credit for that.
Man I wanted them to work out. When you see Woody and Imani . You hope that they were doing well too. I think she was too mature for him Miles I feel had some growing up to do
I personally loved Karen because she really wasn’t going for nothing!!!
Karen was TOO GOOD for the show - MAFS. And I am not disparaging the show but for a woman like Karen, she needed someone who could see into her soul, and that comes with a man who was mature enough to do that. I am not talking about age because some people's age does not line up with their level of maturity, especially men. I liked her right away and I saw how she tried to take her time to navigate the process and show Miles what she was all about. Anyway, they did it, I hope she and Miles can find their true love. Life goes on.
Keep your head up, Karen🙏🏿
I wish her nothing but the best. Thank you for your vulnerability, Karen.
