On this particular subject, with the three women involved in the conversation, only one of them made any sense to me. That was Niambi. I really do think she's speaking her mind - and she's doing it without using the SO buzz words or bs.

She was very direct and clear in her speech: "When you (IV) made the announcement that Jodi was graduating, and has to remain to hold your (Christie's) hand, that sent me over the edge...it was another example of everybody falling all over themselves to support Christie, and I'm like, is she going to take everything from everybody and not give anything back?...There's a commitment in the house to not drink...it's to support you (Christie). Big shock...enough is enough already. What I felt from you (Christie), pretty much since the day I walked in here, was judgment. I heard from you (Christie) what I'm not doing...that I'm not present, that I'm not supportive of my housemates, and I thought we were all living under the same rules and guidelines. It seems like to me there is a different set of rules that apply to you."

She reiterated her point in the confessional: "Christie does not practice what she preaches. She has been self-righteous and judgmental with me regarding my availability and support for the other housemates...she is a self-righteous, judgmental punk".

True enough.

Then Christie simply engaged in aimless blabbering about the situation. While they were face to face, Christie had no trouble saying to Niambi, I love you, I have a great deal of compassion for you, you're amazing, I look up to you, etc. . But back in the privacy of the confessional, it was a different sentiment we heard: "I am representing the typical white woman who has oppressed her (Niambi). I look and sound a way that really triggers her." Besides being unbelievably ignorant and presumptuous, Christie lied again. She is a coward. And in typical Christie fashion, she made it all about herself, thanking Niambi for showing her "that part of herself" that she must embrace and thank. WHAT?

And Iyanla? She summed it all up by calling Niambi a bitter b!tch, and then adds insult to injury by saying that Christi is trying to do everything right, but in Niambi she sees who she used to be, and it scares her. Wow. Is Niambi a junkie or an alcoholic?

As far as I'm concerned, the other two should lose their voices. The only one who was truthful today was Niambi.
