When Iyanla first gave Antonia this assignment, she said she was giving Antonia an "interior design business", "FIVE employees", and a $10,000 budget, which in Iyanla-speak, simply meant the decorating assignment, with the other 5 HG's to help.

Christie very half-heartedly asked Antonia if she needed help (you could tell lazy-@ssed Christie did not really want to help)...Antonia did not say no, she called out, "if you want...." over her shoulder as she walked out of the room. Christie kind of made a face. (I personally think Christie has absolutely no interest in doing anything that is not directly related to herself.) Instead, Christie spends her time getting dressed in a leopard-print tent and having her picture taken.

Christie chose to bring the issue up at the dinner with Jodi's mom, instead of waiting for a better moment. Antonia could have presented her case in a better way, but then again, it's Christie, not Antonia, who is always presenting herself in the "mentor" role, and spouting off about how many "tools" she's acquired, and how much she's grown. For someone who thinks she is in a position to "life coach" everyone, Christie is astoundingly immature.

Antonia may have entitlement issues, but let's not forget that Christie is a decade older than Antonia, and by her own admission, doesn't have a job or any money, so Christie doesn't really have a right to "look down on" Antonia's issues. At least Antonia is not spending her 20's drinking and drugging herself out of her mind, or participating in violent relationships. (LOL, ok, that we know of.)

I can see Antonia's and Niambi's point...Christie expects the MOST support, but gives the least. Christie is a taker. The only "support" she is interested in giving is insults and condemnation in the guise of "compassion" and concern.

In contrast to actually having to paint a room, all of Christie's "work" for the 5K consisted of putting on a pair of gaucho pants and meeting with people SO has already pre-arranged to do the actual work: Name of the run? Pre-arranged. Sponsors? Pre-arranged. T-shirt donations? Pre-arranged. Logo and graphic design? Pre-arranged. And Christie STILL has to ask constantly ask Jodi what to do and say!!
