    I'm Sorry, But It Was Self Defense

    Toya thanks the fans who have supported her, and explains why she burned Mariah's gift.

    Apr 19

    In conclusion, I want to make sure everyone knows I am extremely sensitive to the Jewish heritage and the Holocaust. It was not my intention to offend anyone. I sincerely apologize if I did. I was merely referencing a characteristic, but I will choose my words more carefully next time.

    Thank you for listening and reading my blog. You will always get the truth here. . .

    P.S. I already stated, had we known the adoption was not COMMON KNOWLEDGE, we would not have mentioned it on camera! Did you notice none of the other cast members appeared shocked or stated that they didn't know when my so called exposure was made public? The blatant lie about me discussing the adoption at a salon is just that, A BLATANT LIE! Please bring forward these people with whom I had this conversation. The FBI couldn't find them with a search warrant signed by the president, because they don't exist. THIS CONVERSATION NEVER HAPPENED!

    when one makes a true  apology there is no BUT behind it......... if its truly sincere, who we are your referring to about the adoption not being common knowledge???? To my recollection you are the first person to discuss this on tv  not Mariah so  to us the general public we  found  out about this via you, so she had to have told you in secret with no camera around

    Toya, I felt for you at first but after watching the episode twice don't you agree that you were the problem here? You and Mariah were both wrong. Apologize to each other and become friends again. You shouldn't have approached Mariah in the first place, especially when she was talking with the other couple. You should've wait for the right time and place to have a private conversation with her. You were acting childish and immature. You're not in high school anymore. If I were you, meet Mariah in person, solve your problems for the sake of your families especially your husbands. Don't listen to Kari or anyone else anymore, just be yourself. We're not perfect people, we all make mistakes, and we learn from our mistakes. Wish you the best!

    Sadly it looks like you are an instigator. I think both of you are wrong in this.

    What people don't realize is that when you stroked Mariah's hair I think you were being innocent and friendly. However, Mariah was definitely aggressive when she flicked your hair. Clearly, she was drunk, and probably sent that tragic momma of hers over to antagonize you. #Mariahneedstocatchfire

    How can you say she was being innocent? Mariah didn't pull her hair she did the same thing Toya did. Toya stroked and flipped her hair first while Mariah was talking to someone else.They were friends at one point you can tell the Mariah was not expecting Toya to react the way she did, because Toya just did the same thing to her. Toya was being aggressive because she came there with the attention to fight. I think Toya is a bully. For you to do all that assuming about her mother you’re not being fair. You guys need to recognize what is right and wrong.

    I was  very disappointed to her you husband called Mariah a bitch.  I think we everyday people hold people like doctors to a higher esteem.  You husband's words were more than i expected.  i thought he would classy but oh well.  You were just as responsible as MariAh.  You talked about Mariah and Quad behind their backs.  You wanted to chat in everyone else's ears.  You want friends really bad.  Everyone see's who you are

    A true lady does not fight physically.  You should apologize to Mariah and do some soul-searching.  You and Mariah were both wrong in your behavior.

    sterry5817 14 pts

    I think I am going to stop watching this show and tell my friends and colleagues so the ratings can go down if they dont have Toya take some ownership over her part of how backstabbing Toya is and she has no class and Mariah was real and she deserves an apology.... Toya seems like your regular hood trash who seems like she is using her husband for his money....Toya also dresses a mess she is trash....

    At the end of the day that still dosent justify the fact of why the entire altercation started. Some things are better left unsaid. PERIOD

    anne.edgar.75 242 pts

    That was not self-defense.  You were telling anyone who would listen all night, especially Kari and her husband, what Mariah's mother said. Mariah told you about her daughter in confidence, you had no right to repeat it, especially in a beauty parlor of all places!  Then at the party you stated, "I just have to say something to Mariah...,"  That conversation should have waited until an appropriate time -- not at a party.  You are a liar and a troublemaker.  We saw the show and watched you at it all night.

     

    I don't know why you burned the gift because I couldn't read your "self-defense" BS blog, but it was tacky.  You should have returned it to Mariah.  SMH.

    Oh you should be ashamed of yourself.  Plenty of people bring children into a marriage.  You are not perfect by any means.  You need to apologize.   I saw the video you threw the first slap!

    One more thing....watch the program when Kari met with Quad and Miriah, she talked about throwing you in the pool!!!

    howgrays 653 pts

    You are delusional if you think or want us to think it was self-defense!! You truly started that fight! You are messy and love to stir up controversy!! Let's be clear, YOU started that fight! You went up to her and talked about her mother in front of her other guest! You should have talked with her after the party! All those negative things you talked about in your above communication are all the things you do! GET a grip on life, if you think this was Miriah's fault you are crazy!!!!

    Toya,

     

    Your remarks about how you somehow feel better than Mariah because you waited to get married before starting a family was absoultely horrific!  You are not better than her, or any other single mother out there!  You make it hard to like you wih your  insenstive remarks and behavior.   I am surely no fan!  

    lynnhousewife 573 pts

    I like you Toya! At least you apoligized for everything, Mariah blamed everything on you! If she kept flipping my hair like that I don't know what would have happened. If she didn't want any of this known then why did her sister say it on TV in the 1st place? For a story line? She sold out her own daughter for a story line, for fame. I know you ain't that kind of mama. She talks like she has all this class when she don't even know how to spell it! LOL Shes nuts stick with Kari!

    No one saw Toya gossiping about Mariah's children. I believe Mariah's mother is to blame for all of this.

    Toya, I wished the fight didn't get physical, you and everyone knows Mariah is Straight Hood Rat.. She's fake and truly makes me sick, I can hardly watch her. I hope her husband kicks her to the curb. I think you are a great person.

    EnvyMeB 13 pts

    @genechiro For you to think toya is a great person is really sad. I don't condone discussing friends or anyone else personal business ever being ok. Put yourself in the person shoes that's being discussed in a negative way and see how you feel about I t.

    Toya,

     

    It's unfortunate that you were in that situation.  Mariah and her mother are trash!

    techlady 62 pts

    You are low level. You are also jealous of Mariah. Your husband is suppose to be professional but He called Mariah a bi---. Not OK. You are trying to get on the level with Kari and mariah so I understand why you are using Kari and hate mariah.

    yolsmoo87 271 pts

    Toya,  I hope that you and Mariah sit down and have a grown woman conversation about what took place at the party.  Maybe you should've called Mariah to lunch the day after to discuss the issue?  I thought it was totally wrong for Mariah's mother go hit you upside your head because that fight was only between you and Mariah.....not momma ghetto.

    joy2daworld 45 pts

     yolsmoo87  I agree 100%. The party was not  the right time and place to bring up anything. That was very inappropriate.

    ms.mba 22 pts

    As my grandmother use to say, "With friends like these, who needs enemies." If you were at the beauty salon talking about paternity issues about Mariah's daughter, what did you expect the outcome to be? You just don't drag people's kids into petty jealousy issues on TV.

     

    Also, Mariah didn't really talk with you or engage you at the party so it was pretty obvious she was upset when she arrived at the party. When you approached her and then tried to say things about her mom, as my daughter's high school friends say, "You asked for that FADE." I guess you wrote a check, you couldn't cash and you hit her in the face with a glass so from what I can saw you wanted the situation to escalate.

    Toya if someone backed me against a pole and a table touching and pushed me I would use any means necessary to get them away -- including smacking them------ if mariah does it again smack her

    Ann923 7 pts

    Toya you were perfectly right for smacking Mariah ,she had you in a corner --- you kept telling her to stop flipping your hair and she kept doing it and then she pushed your shoulder - all this while you kept backing up telling her to stop , once you couldn't back up anymore and your back was against a table and the pole -- you had the right to use any means necessary to get her away --- I would have smacked Mariah too----Team Toya

    byrd55@comcast.net 57 pts

    i'm sorry it was self-defense not on your part but on mariah's part. you approached mariah, you touch her hair then, you threw a glass at mariah. in any court you would be gulity of throwing 1st punch. unlike you we viewers believe what we see not the lies in are head.

    mmtmsgjw4 22 pts

    watched the show a couple of times and I must say you started  everything first you wanna read her for being late then start on her about her MaMa and you talked about her child not cool you know better first off you touched her hair trying to be funny and I don't think you feared for your safety but she was in your face you should of left well enough alone it was not your place to figure out why she was late if keri didn't say anything you should'nt  and hey girlfriend you need some new pots what you fried the bacon in was not up to standards of a Dr's Wife ijs!

    mscgibbs 476 pts

    I can't believe how you are playing the victim.  Had you not approached her at the party none of this would have happened.  You started this hot mess and it's sad that you won't own it. 

    honeydew4u 19 pts

    you have a  lot of nerves to try and portray a victim. you run your mouth too much and you spend a lot of time putting other people down . This  mess again was your mouth. you had no business repeating what she told you in confidence. what happens to the daughter. you really need to apologize. and you say things and think nothing of it  then run back to your husband and claim innocence. you are a trouble maker..you need to stop and try pulling together with the other ladies.

    peanut0119 25 pts

    Toya, Your apologies are a small step in the right direction, keep heading the same way, and you'll be on the path to being a better person. Asking God for forgiveness and guidance will also help you. Don't give up, everyone can be saved. While I do not think it is productive to reiterate your mistakes, there's one that I must say was truly shocking and insensitive - the burning of the christening gown. A truly dark moment and one I hope you'll repent for.

    szherubin@comcast.net 23 pts

    Toya, you are low class and you started the fight by throwing the glass.  A fight is what you wanted.  You deserved what you got for spreading gossip about a child.

    tiffianyt 18 pts

    Toya you say that you asked Mariah not to touch you but you had just touched her when you walked up to her and asked her why her mother was being rude to you. I feel you had a right to defend yourself, but you allegedly said things about her daughter that from a viewers point was supposed to be held between friends. You are not the victim in that fight. If someone took what you said in reference to your child and told it how would you feel.

    syrettagetaun@yahoo.com 29 pts

    It's not about the fight, but how it could have been avoided in the first place. Yes, Mariah was wrong for fighting, but everyone has a breaking point. Toya, you pushed Mariah beyond her breaking point. First, you betrayed Mariah's trust by talking about her personal information to others, and then you just had to be the one to walk up to Mariah at the party. You should have left her alone, and let Kari talk to her about her being late. That was not your business. She was late because she was upset that you would be there. Toya, you need to apologize to Mariah for hurting her feelings and not being a good friend. Even though you were fighting back as self defense, you need to own up to starting the whole and entire thing. It's sad to see grown women not know how to be good and loyal friends to each other.

     syrettagetaun@yahoo.com hold on a minute here... she threw the glass at Mariah I would not call that self defense.  Toya would not know the truth if it snacked her in the face.  She had already been drinking for 2 hours before Mariah arrived and was juiced up beyond being reasonable.  Let's put it out there she started that fight because she was intoxicated.

     I soooo agree with you. This was so not about the fight on Mariah's part.  She was harboring anger towards Toya for the supposed rumor. BOTH ladies handled this so wrong. In Toya's talking head she said that Mariah  had to be angry about something else  truly she was, but unlike many others who have commented I feel that LooseLucy really started this fight with the conversation she had with Toya but Toya should have discussed Mariah's mom's behavior on another day and time.  Toya must own her part in the as well as that wannabe Mariah.  But ALL of tem need to learn what a FRIEND is in order to BE a FRIEND.  Friendship is not about one upping the next its about being genuinely happy for whatever it your friend does and being there for a friend when things don't go so well.  Know when to hold 'em know when to fold 'em.  There is a very distinct difference between FRIENDS and ASSOCIATES. One last thing I think Toya was so wrong to have burned the christening outfit she could have donated, returned it to Mariah via mail/drop it off on the front lawn.... but anything other than burn it. That was so juvenile. I dislike it when women behave in such a h.s. manner. SO DISAPPOINTING.

    I think that you need to accept the fact that you told some private stuff about Mariah that she confided in you about. You had no business telling strangers at a salon or make a comment about her having children outside of marriage and how you didn't. That is judging and you should be ashamed of yourself. I think that Mariah should have walked away and talked to you about the issue she had with you, but I can see why she was upset. You need to take more of a responsibility than throwing a drink. Kids are off limits and stop acting like a victim. You attacked Quad because she chose to marry her husband after the text he sent and now this. You are no better than anyone. You bleed and use the bathroom just like everyone else. Get off your high horse.

    With all the money your husband has, he should seriously get you an English tutor cos you do not know how to speak it. I also know you do not write your own blogs. You cannot even form a sentence on the show without grammatical errors much less write a perfect blog with words that we all know you are unfamiliar with. You are ridiculous!!!!!!!!!!
