I truly appreciate how Terrell makes his show a safe space for his guests. He has a way of making people feel comfortable, which is important. Thanks Terreell for bringing LaTavia on the show ❤
Not only is it smart but it’s actual journalism. They open up and voluntarily tell us their actual stories while having fun doing so. That looked therapeutic for LaTavia as well as for us - her fans. That voice, that sass is still there but we probably didn’t get the opportunity to hear it because the media already decided what they wanted to hear from her.
Yesss I agree , it’s a safe place for all artists gospel, rap, country and more . I can’t watch to see him on tv. And I love how all of the guests are comfortable sharing personal experiences and fears and all. The episode with K. Michelle.
I know it’s true she definitely went thru it but she admitted she self medicated, speaking from experience, it keeps you stuck in certain ways. She’s so sweet you just want to look after her
I wish they gave Emmy’s for RUclips shows. This was an Emmy-worthy interview. Terrell, you are a light. Latavia, you are owed and you will get what you are due!!
THISSS!!! I genuinely was hurt by the breakup and to this day hope that they would get back together. LeToya and Kelly are my faves, I just would love to see them on SOMETHING all together singing and talking again.
She was a only a child. The adults threw her under the bus. They gaslit her. I can't imagine how she felt amid the absence of any explanation, apology, therapeutic support or aftercare. Chile! She is being gracious. 🙏🏽❤️🔥
Ok... I am a true Terrell fan now. The way he handled her delicately. You can tell Latavia is still fragile about certain things. He was very attentive to her and handled with such care. So beautiful to witness! ❤✊🏿
All the episode did was make me appreciate Latavia even more than before. She’s been thru much and still alive to tell her story. Thats STRENGTH!!! I hope one day she gets the opportunity to tell her full story.
I was so moved by this episode 😭. Everyone deserves an opportunity to share their truth so thank you, Terrell, for offering this space to Latavia to share hers. I hope this opens even more doors for her and her family!
To find out you’re out of the group that you created and worked hard for for 8 years on national tv and replaced is crazy. Salute to Latavia for her strength!
It's cold. And to think no one from the DC camp ever reached out and checked on her. Is there more to the story. How do you just dump someone like that.
@@treetoptreetop2730i wondered the same. That's so harsh but to see how happy she is to share love and space with them all, even Bey's parents makes me wonder if there was more to the story on her end as well. And if it's something she doesn't want to share that's totally ok too.
Yes that shit hurt. We all saw it at the same time. The Say My Name video when they were just blatantly missing...my brain couldn't comprehend. I was thinking 'will anyone tell us what is going on here?'
I feel like Latavia and Letoya don't realize how much we love them. It really didn't end when they left DC. First time I had Letoya solo song on the radio I immediately knew it was her and I sat there until the song went off and waited for them to say it was her. And when they did I cried and shouted. I really hope they come together like New Edition does cause I will be all up in that mug!!!!
With age, my appreciation for LaTavia and LeToya has only deepened. I see them as young girls, who knew their worth - and were unwilling to be marginalized, even if folks saw it fit to deny them. It’s crazy admirable!
This was such a heartfelt episode. Terrell, you made Latavia not only feel safe on your platform, but you showed her much she is appreciated. Latavia, YOU ARE APPRECIATED 💐💐💐
Terrell is laying the foundation for the DC5 tour... I'm speaking it into existence👏👏👏👏 Latavia Roberson, I appreciate & thank you for sharing your story, & blessing us with your talents, & I admire you for your bravery, resilience, and unwavering spirit❤🙏
I love her personality and mannerisms - I really want someone to give her a sitcom. She would be hilarious as a wife and mom on tv. I hope this chapter in her life brings her opportunities in that space. I feel like she only liked singing when it was with DC. That was her safe place for it. Now I think she's been what shes been through to give us a show, a book, and maybe interview ppl herself. Stay out there Latavia - thanks for telling your story. We appreciate you for your contribution to the culture! Thanks Latavia - and thank you Terrell
be a great actress she really would she charismatic she's fun she's beautiful she's funny she's hood I love it yeah somebody should really pick her up for a show she got a beautiful speaking voice too she can even do a talk show because she got a very nice speaking voice she can do radio
LaTavia THEE Roberson, you deserve a field of flowers. THIS was the interview that she needed to hold space for her. The tenderness, the affirmations…it was disarming and it was clear that LaTavia felt free to show up as her most authentic self. As a kid i stanned those first two albums; i wanted to be her sooooo bad cuz she was brown skinned with a deeper voice like me AND she was fly with poppin red hair. As a grown woman, I can see that her journey & destiny may appear to be more complex than expected…but it’s hers and it’s worth celebrating. Thank you for this Destiny Filled S6 finale week, forreal💛
Not tryna come for this strong Queen but why are her hands still brown skinned but the face and chest high yella? I really hope she hasn’t been bleaching her skin 😢Prayers and all the best for her❣️
You said it! Her voice stood out in those harmonies I used to seek them out & try to mimic! Love her down. Terrell is giving the girlies what we didn't know we needed
When Destiny's Child first came out, LaTavia was my favorite. This short, gorgeous, brown skinned doll made me feel noticed and seen. I am so happy to see her in this space. It was so great to see her warm up and get more comfortable and vulnerable as the episode rolled out. LaTavia, we are rooting for you and want to see you win. Terrell, thank you for bringing this queen on the channel. This finale week is 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I really enjoyed these episodes with LaTavia and LaToya because it gave them the safe space to tell their sides of their story and share what they wanted. Everyone during that time just moved on with them being dropped from the group but they had to live it. You can see the trauma they endured and still seem to experience from what happened.
I pray she fully overcomes the trauma and sheds the residual fears. With half the commitment and training had when they were younger, we could get a "Children of Destiny" residency in Vegas by spring... Latavia, LeToya, Michelle, and Kelly would sellout just fine. We don't even have to pretend anyone else is joining the lineup. IJS. I would buy tickets!!!
Terrell navigated this interview so perfectly! It's great to hear Latavia's side of the story. Thank you, Terrell, for providing a safe space for her to be transparent!
My heart broke for her when she recounted her struggles . I am a destiny’s child fan since it’s inception and recall the craziness around the situation but having heard it directly from her really made me feel for her that much more deeply. And for those in the comments talking about her lack of singing , she is obviously not comfortable projecting because it’s not what she desires for herself and hasn’t been singing in years. Give the girl a break and enjoy the fact that we actually get to see her in 2023 with all the girls . Thank you Terrel for making this happen. It’s so special .
Im sorry, but THANK YOU LATAVIA!!! For being so open and honest in this interview 🥹🥹🥹 for someone not following your journey, this was so heartfelt! And thank you Terrell for being such a great interviewer and allowing someone to speak their story 💙💙💙
Latavia has had a soft spot in my heart since R&B Divas. She’s so transparent & open-hearted. She has such a sweet spirit. I love just Latavia!! This was one of the best episodes in my opinion. Tears of joy ❤ It's her time❤👏🏽💐
Ms. Latavia is the epitome of BEAUTY, RESILIENCE, GRACE, and TRUE GRATEFULNESS. Success is only measured by one’s intrinsic happiness, and I can tell she is realizing that she can be truly happy and successful being the living legend and testimony that she is. God bless her 🙌🏾
Terrell is the best! He really knows how to create a safe space with his guests and treats them like human beings. I know LaTavia dealt with a lot of emotional pain, but to see her stronger now is beautiful. Loved this episode and I can’t wait for LeToya’s and Kelly’s!!! Destiny’s Child fan forever ❤️❤️❤️
As an OG DC fan, I'm so happy to see LaTavia alive and well. Baby has been through it, but looks nothing like what she's been through. I'm sure she needed to feel that extra loveeeeee. I hope she knows it's trill out here forever 🤘🏾
Terrell is a national treasure that we must protect at all costs! The way you tap in with these celebrities and make them let their guard down is amazing!
Living and growing up in Texas during this time, we were honestly so heartbroken when they broke up. We saw ourselves in the original DC but we knew LeToya and LaTavia would come out on the other side. They were so relatable and always so kind. Thank you, Terrell, for giving them an opportunity to be heard. You are truly living in your gift.
He is pulling off this phenominal show with his amazing talents, a blue background , two chairs, and last but definetly not least, the best sidekick in the business, Roxie! Congratulations Terrell and thank you for great laughs and genuine content! ❤❤
My heart breaks for her and letoya. They were something magical. Not to take away from Michelle because Michele brought magic too. But these 4 women just brought something truly magical. I always used to think and wish they were both well out in the world whenever I hear their songs.
@florazul5240 You definitely aren't mega fans like we are. Yes michelle is a better singer.. But latavia's tone added a richness to the group harmonies. The group never needed extra solo singers. Kelly and Beyoncé were fine singing lead..latavia and letoyas voices were special in those harmonies. The group wasn't the same when she left. They lost a little bit of a kick.
This episode was done with sensitivity and care. Terrell really tapped into her vulnerability and held her strong and ensured she felt safe. Thats the gift Terrell has he was able to ask those pertinent questions with care and style he was not looking to sensationalise nor glamourise but wanted Latavua to have her voice heard. At least we heard the truth from Her. I hope she puts her story in a book from what she said she has a kot to say and it will be inspirational for a lot of peoole. When she feels ready and able. I wish her the very best in all her endeavours. Great eoisode Tereel great season 6. Cant wait for season 7.
I love her voice so much. She really filled out the DC4 harmonies. It's so unique. She should take her singing more serious because she could deliver some great vocals. Really reminds me of T-Boz.
@@nathc540 She doesn't have confidence in her abilities because she's not a belter. But she has vocals and really filled out the DC harmonies. I think DC4 harmonies are better than DC3, even though Michelle is obviously a better vocalist. Nobody filled out the bottom line harmony better than Latavia.
Agreed... She reminds me of Kandi, not the big voice of the group, but still a very important voice of the group. She was such a part of their sound, they absolutely needed Michelle for those notes Tav sang.
Damn this episode made me cry at the end. She was honest vulnerable spoke her truth and shared her journey. To handle her with so much care and to not overstep and celebrate her… this was beautiful. One time for the legendary Latavia ! 👏🏽🫶🏽 great job to the whole team who put this together
Terrell I must commend you & the team for all the interviews so far with DC especially from Letoya & Latavia. I had no idea of what really happened and I now know what happened, the years after and how it affected them both. This makes me admire them for who they are, what they stood for, their faith and their resilience. I’ll forever cherish their stories.
This was so special. ❤ Terrell, you are a pure soul. The cupcakes at the end, ugh! 😩 It meant so much to her. You can tell she felt seen, bc she hasn’t been in a while. We love you, Latavia! ❤ Your time is NOW! 🤩
Betrayal trauma is so difficult to get through and for that to occur within a group of people that you were friends with at more vulnerable ages. She was gracious in her representation of the situation but this is big Latavia. I empathise because in as much as it is business it was still very personal. I’m sorry that they did that to you.
It's the kindness for meeee! The way I see Terrell loving, supporting and caring for black women really gives me hope. Black women deserve the world, every day, all the time. I'm really in here boo hooing cause black joy is really like no other, it just fills you up till you overflow.
Terrell you beautifully navigated this interview and created such a safe space for LaTavia (and all your guest) to be transparent. I have so much respect for you. You’re amazing!!
It’s so good to see Latavia smiling and just being herself! I love her fire. She is a strong woman and I agree she should absolutely write a BOOK!!!! I loved this interview!!!
This was the perfect show for her to go on! Glad she was able to experience such a warm, safe, fun and loving welcome. You’re always such a gem and it seems like such a significant and needed moment
Let me tell you Latavia was my hair goal. Her hair colors back then or curly styles. Latavia to me had the best hair and outfits. She is still beautiful and thank you Terrell for doing this.
I thank you Terrell for bringing Latvia on your show.. This industry puts so much undue pressure on a person.. Everyones always has an opinion.. We love you Latavia!!
By far my favorite INTERVIEW Terrell has ever done. I always live for the vocals on the show but this was really powerful. Latavia’s vulnerability and joy in her breakthrough was very touching so see!
It's truly just terrible what happened to Latavia/Letoya... my heart breaks for her. I'm so glad she's come out stronger! edit: yes y'all, I know Letoya bounced back stronger than ever, and that makes my heart so joyful and happy! I'm just saying I feel terrible for what happened to Latavia AND Letoya... my heart does break for Latavia specifically though because it just seems like she's experienced so so so many hardships, and her story and resolution is still ongoing (while Letoya's has already been concluded with a happy ending... I want a strong happy ending for Latavia too!)
The DC split really impacted her. I hope people will allow her to put it in her resume and move on. There are MANY things we have all tried and it didn’t work out the way we believed it would but we did it nonetheless. I’ve learned not to hide or erase those things because they are accomplishments. Blessings to you LaTavia! We look forward to seeing everything that God has for YOU!! ♥️♥️♥️
Not "put it on her resume" 😂 thats funny! Well DC first 2 albums, interviews, music videos and her being on R&B Divas are her portfolio! That has to count for something
We met several years ago. We read books to children at an elementary school in atlanta. She’s a sweet soul. I’m glad she shared this part of her story. She’s free ❤
What a beautiful space and moment for us to get to know a whole unsung hero. Her strength, perseverance, and authenticity is really something to be celebrated and appreciated. Kudos to Terrell for so deftly navigating difficult topics and addressing the elephant in the room but in such a way that gives grace, dignity and respect for all parties involved and providing that opportunity.
Got me out here CRYING OK! Goodness what a wonderful episode! You all are truly amazing to your guests and I can tell that they really appreciate the space you provide. So good!
She displays endurance and perseverance! It's your time Latavia! Thank you Terrell for having her on the show and the cupcakes at the end - so sweet of you. God bless you Latavia and Terrell!
I'm glad we were able to finally hear what she had to say and that Terrell gives these artists the opportunity to speak and set the record straight. Latavia, no matter what anyone says, know that you are special, talented, and just as amazing as the other ladies. Everything ain't meant for everybody, and you're an example of being successful without exactly being in the industry. Continue to do you because you're doing it well.
I love this. Terrell you have such a gift for making people feel safe and welcomed on your blue wall. It’s indescribable. She needed this. People need to be reminded that they’re loved and valued, with or without the level of success that “others” think they should have. ❤
Terrell, you were the perfect one for the job. I don't think I've ever seen an interview with LaTavia bout this one that was about HER. She needed that space. Bless you.
Being called deaf is not at all an easy thing to digest ... admittedly she didn't have Beyoncé's voice, she couldn't sing the lead role but she could sing a few verses of Destiny's Child songs and basically she was supposed to be the Destiny's Child rapper... I don't know if it was Beyonce or her Father as Manger of the group, who called her deaf, one thing's for sure, hearing that as a teenager is not easy and that for a while, musically, broke LaTavia, she lost self-esteem and self-confidence ...
This was reminiscent of the Chrisette Michelle episode. I love how Terrell gives artists space to tell their side of the story. It humanizes them because people forget that celebrities are humans too.
This was a beautiful interview. The way he took care of her and showed her the respect was beyond. Such an amazing person! I thoroughly enjoyed this and I pray the best for Latavia. So happy to see her here.
As a young man i thought this woman was the most incredible woman i have ever laid eyes on. I'm happy she got to share her story. Thank you terrell providing this safe platform
Proud of this beautiful woman for picking herself up and starting all over again! Happy Blessed Birthday Latavia, never give up, never give in my love!!!❤️
This was an AMAZING episode. Thank you so much Terrell for inviting her on the show to give her a platform to share her story. This has touched me and helped me cope with what I’m currently going thru. Thank you thank you thank you 💜
This was soooo good! I can probably count on 1 hand how many times I've ever heard Tav speak as she wants to. Thank you for giving her this platform to remind the world of how incredible this woman is! Happy birthday, Latavia ❤❤❤
Seeing this interview was healing. I enjoyed hearing Latavia speak on some of her truths. This showed that the journey never ends as long as you stay strong in your own faith.
NOT TERRELL COLLECTING ALL OF DC LIKE INFINITY STONES!
Yessss!!! And I'm too here for it. It's about time somebody sat all of these ladies down. Thank you Terrell!!
@k-dot8903 Best comment ever! If I were Bey, I would do his show just because.
😂😂😂😂
🙄🙄
Too funny😂😂

He’s such a gentleman ❤❤❤❤
Yes. It's refreshing. Never trying to be nasty or shady. Too many think nastinessor throwing shade has to be a part of an interview.
Latavia got the worst of it out of everyone. The fact that she can still get on this show and talk about that shit is truly inspirational.
Little do she know, she got FANS……🙄
I know it’s true she definitely went thru it but she admitted she self medicated, speaking from experience, it keeps you stuck in certain ways. She’s so sweet you just want to look after her
I was soooo pissed when her and Latoya wasn’t in the group anymore 😠💔
Yes. Thank you for saying that.@@tysonb3568
I truly agree
I wish they gave Emmy’s for RUclips shows. This was an Emmy-worthy interview. Terrell, you are a light. Latavia, you are owed and you will get what you are due!!
THIS!!!!!
Facts 💯
This one does definitely need a Emmy or something fr . They need to add RUclips shows on there
They give Emmys for digital shows. Keke Palmer won an Emmy for her RUclips shorts.
This is actually a very great idea!
The way he poured into Latavia and Letoya was beautiful. The DC4 breakup really hurt the fans and this feels almost like a resolution.
THISSS!!! I genuinely was hurt by the breakup and to this day hope that they would get back together. LeToya and Kelly are my faves, I just would love to see them on SOMETHING all together singing and talking again.
❤❤❤❤❤ THIS

Big facts!!!!!❤
I would buy the book
Speak it!!
She was a only a child. The adults threw her under the bus. They gaslit her. I can't imagine how she felt amid the absence of any explanation, apology, therapeutic support or aftercare. Chile! She is being gracious. 🙏🏽❤️🔥
Ikr they did them dirty
So gracious
THIS!!!!
I'm just glad LaTavia is still with us. Can we get her a show?! I think she and Bresha Webb could play sisters.
They favor too!!! Would be a perfect duo!
This is a great idea!
That would be awesome 👌
I was thinking Kellita Smith (Wanda from the bernie Mac show)
OMG yes!!!!!!!
25 years later she tells the same story !!!! Very real and transparent!! I love her… the most authentic
Ok... I am a true Terrell fan now. The way he handled her delicately. You can tell Latavia is still fragile about certain things. He was very attentive to her and handled with such care. So beautiful to witness! ❤✊🏿
I do love that about him!
All the episode did was make me appreciate Latavia even more than before. She’s been thru much and still alive to tell her story. Thats STRENGTH!!! I hope one day she gets the opportunity to tell her full story.
Well, I'm not sure what or who is holding her back from telling it all now...
@@deeharris4634 she never had a safe space to do so. Now that Terrell has provided one for her. Hopefully more ppl with a platform will too 🤞🏾🤞🏾🤞🏾
Chyle coming to America lol
That part, so many did not make it out to tell their story before spiraling down to death. But God!
“What was your new prayer?” was such a gorgeous question. Come through Terrell!
I thought so too! It was a brilliant follow up question to ask! 🥹
Agree!!
I said the same thing! It was genius! He is naturally brilliant!

Yes you can still hear her pain even after all these years
Somebody call Tyler Perry!! She said acting was always her goal
To find out you’re out of the group that you created and worked hard for for 8 years on national tv and replaced is crazy. Salute to Latavia for her strength!
It's terrible, disgusting, and wicked

Hearing you don't deserve a voice. When your gift is literally to sing, is devastating at any age.
Absolutely - devastating!@@musicneurons
This was such a heartfelt episode. Terrell, you made Latavia not only feel safe on your platform, but you showed her much she is appreciated. Latavia, YOU ARE APPRECIATED 💐💐💐

It was her in that No No No pt1 video I was about 7 years old she was thick and sexy to me
I really enjoyed these episodes with LaTavia and LaToya because it gave them the safe space to tell their sides of their story and share what they wanted. Everyone during that time just moved on with them being dropped from the group but they had to live it. You can see the trauma they endured and still seem to experience from what happened.
I pray she fully overcomes the trauma and sheds the residual fears.

It made me not like Beyoncé back then and Kelly use to throw shots. But I can’t lie I like Beyoncé now. It was a great interview.

I absolutely love how Terrell handles his guests. His approach is loving yet he gets to the heart of the matter.
He is GREAT at interviews!!!!👏🏾
I love when they show Roxy she always looks so happy and overjoyed by what is happening like pure joy.
I knew she had a story. What she went through was devastating! I wish her success this decade 😊
When do the ones wronged get their justice?
As an OG DC fan, I'm so happy to see LaTavia alive and well. Baby has been through it, but looks nothing like what she's been through. I'm sure she needed to feel that extra loveeeeee. I hope she knows it's trill out here forever 🤘🏾
Period!
Latavia needs to be a comedic actress!!! I can definitely see her on the big screen!!! 😂
Definitely
Tyler Perry needs to get her on a Madea movie!
Terrell is a national treasure that we must protect at all costs! The way you tap in with these celebrities and make them let their guard down is amazing!
Living and growing up in Texas during this time, we were honestly so heartbroken when they broke up. We saw ourselves in the original DC but we knew LeToya and LaTavia would come out on the other side. They were so relatable and always so kind. Thank you, Terrell, for giving them an opportunity to be heard. You are truly living in your gift.
I love her voice she made Destiny's childs harmonize what we love....im buying the book and watching everything shes in....I love her!!!!!
He is pulling off this phenominal show with his amazing talents, a blue background , two chairs, and last but definetly not least, the best sidekick in the business, Roxie! Congratulations Terrell and thank you for great laughs and genuine content! ❤❤
My heart breaks for her and letoya. They were something magical. Not to take away from Michelle because Michele brought magic too. But these 4 women just brought something truly magical. I always used to think and wish they were both well out in the world whenever I hear their songs.
In certain aspects while watching the video I’m able to appreciate Michelle’s Voice even more.
@florazul5240 You definitely aren't mega fans like we are. Yes michelle is a better singer.. But latavia's tone added a richness to the group harmonies. The group never needed extra solo singers. Kelly and Beyoncé were fine singing lead..latavia and letoyas voices were special in those harmonies. The group wasn't the same when she left. They lost a little bit of a kick.
I hope Terrell continues to be a good friend to her in the industry, she needs more of those!!!
I have never witnessed Terrell sing for ANYBODY & give them cupcakes 🎊 🎉 That was awesome! Happy Birthday Latavia ❤
This episode was done with sensitivity and care. Terrell really tapped into her vulnerability and held her strong and ensured she felt safe. Thats the gift Terrell has he was able to ask those pertinent questions with care and style he was not looking to sensationalise nor glamourise but wanted Latavua to have her voice heard. At least we heard the truth from Her. I hope she puts her story in a book from what she said she has a kot to say and it will be inspirational for a lot of peoole. When she feels ready and able. I wish her the very best in all her endeavours. Great eoisode Tereel great season 6. Cant wait for season 7.
I love her voice so much. She really filled out the DC4 harmonies. It's so unique. She should take her singing more serious because she could deliver some great vocals. Really reminds me of T-Boz.
TRUE!!
Well said
Listen to their cover of amazing Grace with some headphones. Her low notes are perfect. So beautiful
@@nathc540 She doesn't have confidence in her abilities because she's not a belter. But she has vocals and really filled out the DC harmonies. I think DC4 harmonies are better than DC3, even though Michelle is obviously a better vocalist. Nobody filled out the bottom line harmony better than Latavia.
Agreed... She reminds me of Kandi, not the big voice of the group, but still a very important voice of the group. She was such a part of their sound, they absolutely needed Michelle for those notes Tav sang.
Damn this episode made me cry at the end. She was honest vulnerable spoke her truth and shared her journey. To handle her with so much care and to not overstep and celebrate her… this was beautiful. One time for the legendary Latavia ! 👏🏽🫶🏽 great job to the whole team who put this together
Yessssssss! She deserves the love and embrace ☺️🥹
Wow... Latavia has been through a lot!!! She definitely needs to put out a book. So proud that she pulled through. God bless!
Wonder what became of her perverted step father
The way he respects and shows his genuine appreciation is priceless. ❤
Terrell I must commend you & the team for all the interviews so far with DC especially from Letoya & Latavia. I had no idea of what really happened and I now know what happened, the years after and how it affected them both. This makes me admire them for who they are, what they stood for, their faith and their resilience. I’ll forever cherish their stories.

YESSSS LAWD!!!!
You can hear it and see it that she needed this. I wish her nothing but God's love and blessings. Thanks Terrell for being you.
This was so special. ❤ Terrell, you are a pure soul. The cupcakes at the end, ugh! 😩 It meant so much to her. You can tell she felt seen, bc she hasn’t been in a while.
We love you, Latavia! ❤ Your time is NOW! 🤩
Facts!
Betrayal trauma is so difficult to get through and for that to occur within a group of people that you were friends with at more vulnerable ages. She was gracious in her representation of the situation but this is big Latavia. I empathise because in as much as it is business it was still very personal. I’m sorry that they did that to you.
Excellent point!
Well said.
My heart smiled the entire show. May the blessings of God pour upon her. I’m a fan and I’m eagerly anticipating what’s next. She will win!
Terrell always matches the guest’s energy and vibe. And I love it. That’s why they always seem so comfortable together. Terrell is a safe space❤
It's the kindness for meeee! The way I see Terrell loving, supporting and caring for black women really gives me hope. Black women deserve the world, every day, all the time. I'm really in here boo hooing cause black joy is really like no other, it just fills you up till you overflow.
This episode really moved me. Happiest birthday Ms. Latavia and I hope this is her best era. Ty to Terrell for holding space for her.
Terrell you beautifully navigated this interview and created such a safe space for LaTavia (and all your guest) to be transparent. I have so much respect for you. You’re amazing!!
Recognized her impression immediately! You did that sis 💙
It’s so good to see Latavia smiling and just being herself! I love her fire. She is a strong woman and I agree she should absolutely write a BOOK!!!! I loved this interview!!!
This was the perfect show for her to go on! Glad she was able to experience such a warm, safe, fun and loving welcome. You’re always such a gem and it seems like such a significant and needed moment
Let me tell you Latavia was my hair goal. Her hair colors back then or curly styles. Latavia to me had the best hair and outfits. She is still beautiful and thank you Terrell for doing this.
I hope she starts acting I can see her thriving!!! I love hearing her speak and I can see her emotion! I can’t wait to witness her time!!
I thank you Terrell for bringing Latvia on your show..
This industry puts so much undue pressure on a person.. Everyones always has an opinion..
We love you Latavia!!
By far my favorite INTERVIEW Terrell has ever done. I always live for the vocals on the show but this was really powerful. Latavia’s vulnerability and joy in her breakthrough was very touching so see!
It's truly just terrible what happened to Latavia/Letoya... my heart breaks for her. I'm so glad she's come out stronger!
edit:
yes y'all, I know Letoya bounced back stronger than ever, and that makes my heart so joyful and happy! I'm just saying I feel terrible for what happened to Latavia AND Letoya... my heart does break for Latavia specifically though because it just seems like she's experienced so so so many hardships, and her story and resolution is still ongoing (while Letoya's has already been concluded with a happy ending... I want a strong happy ending for Latavia too!)
💯💯💯💯😢😢😢
They only had about 2 more albums b4 B went solo anyway. Latoya went on to have a decent career.
@@SunnyXBlu_Yt3 albums if you include the Christmas project
100
Facts I’m glad she’s sharing her story
You genuinely made her feel special and appreciated. You gave her a moment she didn’t have to share with anyone else. ❤
I love how she came on to tell her truth without being bitter or throwing ppl under the bus . This is by far my favorite interview to date.
The birthday cake at the end 😢 wow, this was such a great interview, you can tell how grateful she was! Amazing job
The DC split really impacted her. I hope people will allow her to put it in her resume and move on. There are MANY things we have all tried and it didn’t work out the way we believed it would but we did it nonetheless. I’ve learned not to hide or erase those things because they are accomplishments. Blessings to you LaTavia! We look forward to seeing everything that God has for YOU!! ♥️♥️♥️
Not "put it on her resume" 😂 thats funny! Well DC first 2 albums, interviews, music videos and her being on R&B Divas are her portfolio! That has to count for something
Oh yea and not to mention her being a model on the box of Just For Me and being a singer on the accompanying cassette tape!
We met several years ago. We read books to children at an elementary school in atlanta. She’s a sweet soul. I’m glad she shared this part of her story. She’s free ❤
I loved that he asked what her prayer was after the DC split. This interview was wonderful!!
What a beautiful space and moment for us to get to know a whole unsung hero. Her strength, perseverance, and authenticity is really something to be celebrated and appreciated. Kudos to Terrell for so deftly navigating difficult topics and addressing the elephant in the room but in such a way that gives grace, dignity and respect for all parties involved and providing that opportunity.
Got me out here CRYING OK! Goodness what a wonderful episode! You all are truly amazing to your guests and I can tell that they really appreciate the space you provide. So good!
She's so honest and I love that about her
The way I ran to this page... so looking forward to hearing LaTavia. She's always been my fav member. I just wanna hear Sweet 16!!!
Yassss love that song ❤love that entire first 2 albums God bless Tavia🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
She displays endurance and perseverance! It's your time Latavia! Thank you Terrell for having her on the show and the cupcakes at the end - so sweet of you. God bless you Latavia and Terrell!
I'm glad we were able to finally hear what she had to say and that Terrell gives these artists the opportunity to speak and set the record straight. Latavia, no matter what anyone says, know that you are special, talented, and just as amazing as the other ladies. Everything ain't meant for everybody, and you're an example of being successful without exactly being in the industry. Continue to do you because you're doing it well.
She has a great speaking voice! She should do radio or voiceover work.
I love this. Terrell you have such a gift for making people feel safe and welcomed on your blue wall. It’s indescribable. She needed this. People need to be reminded that they’re loved and valued, with or without the level of success that “others” think they should have. ❤
I’m sooo happy you had Latavia on the show and invited her to share her story! I had no idea and it breaks my heart to know what happened ❤
Terrell, you were the perfect one for the job. I don't think I've ever seen an interview with LaTavia bout this one that was about HER. She needed that space. Bless you.
I love that she gets to tell her story at this very moment. This took me on an emotional rollercoaster!
She was not in the mood for singing but to tell her authentic story... "She's been broken away from the singing" God Bless you LaTavia -Kwaufi Nino
Being called deaf is not at all an easy thing to digest ... admittedly she didn't have Beyoncé's voice, she couldn't sing the lead role but she could sing a few verses of Destiny's Child songs and basically she was supposed to be the Destiny's Child rapper...
I don't know if it was Beyonce or her Father as Manger of the group, who called her deaf, one thing's for sure, hearing that as a teenager is not easy and that for a while, musically, broke LaTavia, she lost self-esteem and self-confidence ...
This was reminiscent of the Chrisette Michelle episode. I love how Terrell gives artists space to tell their side of the story. It humanizes them because people forget that celebrities are humans too.
This was a beautiful interview. The way he took care of her and showed her the respect was beyond. Such an amazing person! I thoroughly enjoyed this and I pray the best for Latavia. So happy to see her here.
As a young man i thought this woman was the most incredible woman i have ever laid eyes on. I'm happy she got to share her story. Thank you terrell providing this safe platform
Terrelll that was sooooooo sweet! Y'all made me cry. Happy Cake Day LaTavia!
Such a great space you’ve created for artists Terrell. Surprising her with a birthday moment was needed. 🙌🏽
She should do voice acting work! Her voice is so rich. Thanks for sharing your testimony Latavia and for creating a safe space Terrell ✨
She went through severe depression. Great thing she made it through 💪🏿
Her story is a blessing to someone who has went through.❤❤❤🎉
I don't even think the best still has yet to come for her! Whatever it will be, this woman deserves the goodness that comes her way!
Proud of this beautiful woman for picking herself up and starting all over again! Happy Blessed Birthday Latavia, never give up, never give in my love!!!❤️
This was an AMAZING episode. Thank you so much Terrell for inviting her on the show to give her a platform to share her story. This has touched me and helped me cope with what I’m currently going thru. Thank you thank you thank you 💜
Dope to see Latavia getting her flowers. The DC4 harmony wouldn’t have been complete without her low notes 😮💨🔥🐐
This was soooo good! I can probably count on 1 hand how many times I've ever heard Tav speak as she wants to. Thank you for giving her this platform to remind the world of how incredible this woman is! Happy birthday, Latavia ❤❤❤
Latavia is such an Auntie and I love it. She should really get into voice acting, she has such a great voice and an even better laugh.
Latavia, girl, true fans NEVER stopped loving you. Keep living, keep pushing, keep dreaming! 🫶🏾
Seeing this interview was healing. I enjoyed hearing Latavia speak on some of her truths. This showed that the journey never ends as long as you stay strong in your own faith.
