    Toya: "See Beyond What's Shown on TV"

    Toya reveals how being on TV has changed her.

    May 10

    This week I feel like blogging about the positives of Married to Medicine. Mariah's idea for a reality show has sky rocketed and I give all thanks to God, the viewers, the producers, and Bravo. I never imagined that the lives of doctors' wives would be exciting to watch on television. Mariah had an eye and saw in all of us a great cast, and when I auditioned for the show, who would've thought the producers would see in me what I never saw in myself?

    Television was never my dream, but writing has always been something I loved doing. This show is providing a platform for my nursery book series, which I'm sure you'll love. It's a series based on motherhood and the challenges of first-time moms and mothers of two or more. It also highlights the unconditional, true love you can only experience through Motherhood. I guess that's why I was so offended and took it very personal when Mariah thought I would do anything to hurt Lauren. As you can see, by Episode 8, I had had enough of the foolish accusations.

    Being on television has also helped me to develop a tougher skin like no other. I thank God I knew who I was coming in, because the public sure can draw a strong opinion based on small snippets of my life. I will also say that I have developed relationships and experienced things I've never experienced before. It has been such a learning experience. I pride myself on being pretty laid back and very transparent, my close friends would have to agree. I never wore makeup, could care less about what people thought, but now I find myself wearing mink lashes and eyeshadow. Ha!

    So funny during the wine trip when Mariah told Quad that you were trying to get a rise out of her.  SHE was the one throwing the insults right and left. You handled that well, by ignoring her.

    If Mariah had a problem with you, she should have come to you like an adult, instead of running her mouth to everyone else, and ruining the party.  How quickly the problem was resolved when you asked her what she was upset about.

    Well, it looks like her mom un-does that good!

    You said that you were defending yourself against Mariah because she put her hands on you. Well, it looked like you invaded her privacy first. Mariah was talking to someone and you walked up to her, injected yourself in the conversation and started telling her about what her mother was doing. And you were touching her hair while you were talking, so isn't fair to say that you put your hands on her?

    You showed your true character.  The PROOF as you put it, is on television! You discussed the private matter of adoption on this show, at the beginning of it and you knew you were being filmed! Obviously your life is too boring and insignificant so you decided that in order to have something to talk about, you would stir things up and reveal Mariah's secret.  How dare you insult the viewers and try and trick us into believing you were innocent in all of this.  You were absolutely malicious and because of that, you will likely never have friends both old and new ever deeply trust you, enough to confide their secrets too. You are not the kind of friend who can be trusted, period.  I have zero tolerance for people like you, and the fact that you brought a child into it and that child is the one whose life is ultimately affected is wrong on so many levels.  You husband and you are self righteous, callous people.  Good luck with that, well see how far that gets you in life.

    Tonya- I think you are the best person on this show. To be honest, Quad and Mariah get on my damn nerves. Even if you did talk about M's daughter being adopeted... WHO CARES. Like K said "it wasnt a secret" everyone new. So she needs to stop playing the victim. And all the other ppl that talk mess and just say kids are off limits- PFFT! Its not like you were doing it with bad intentions. M should be the one getting sh** from ppl. Since she was telling her OWN Daughter to ask you why they werent invited to the holloween party. Shes the one messing up her daughters life. Making her feel bad instead of trying to protect her feelings. Well have a good day! -Angie S

    Happy Monday I love in this blog you trashed no one and seem really ready to move past all of this drama. Kids are off limits period but you apologized you can't take back what happened and erase it we have all said or done something we would love to be able to take back but you apologized toya so you have done what you can it is time to move on.. I really wanted to like this show and become a true fan but I am going to be honest the Mariah/quad bashing that goes on just absolutely wears on my nerves. I don't understand a lot of what quad says and all the hash tagging so whatever I will not be a 2nd season viewer. With that being said I wish you and your family well..

    Bottom line is you're the one who started it all. You talked about Mariah's daughter when you knew that she didn't know that ayden was not her biological father. Mariah did not even confront you about it tha because she wanted to have a drama free night. Then you confronted Mariah about how her mom treated you when her mom have every reason not to like you at that moment. You should have waited for the right time and the right place to confront Mariah. I don't think anyone would have spared you after talking about their child then their mother.

    Toya I do not blame you at all for bringing protection on the Wine Tour knowing Mariah would be attending.  As Dr. Simone noted, Mariah was poking you & touching you in a confrontational way on the tour bus.  Mariah was totally in your personal space and you showed great restraint.  

     

    Quad & Mariah are very insecure and must tear others down to feel good about themselves. How Sad.  

     

    They refer to YOU as "tacky Toya?"  Funny, I've never noticed you wearing glow-in-the-dark -screaming-yellow eye shadow.  Ever.  Not even at your Spooky-ooky Halloween party!   

     

    You are beautiful & carry yourself with much more grace than  "Pariah Mariah" & "Roughshod Quad."

     Why would you feel the need to bring protection on the Wine Tour when you're the one that started it all. Oh yeah she wore the yellow eye shadow which I think look nice on the ladies.

    Quad and Mariah is very classy friends and maybe Toya can learn something from their friendship...the only insecure one is Toya the want to be

    @MsKeepingItReal I completely agree with all of your comments! Mariah is responsible for her family business being told and her poorly done makeup! She was trying to start another fight.

    Please please please hire a stylist for yourself and Eugene! Eugene is a doctor and his runnign around looking like a 20 year old college student. If he wants to start a concierge medical practice he needs to look like a professional. And fire your hairstylist not just because they were obviously running their mouth about a private conversation you had in your home but also because they obviously have no idea what they are doing because your weave looks crazy. You have money so I know you can do so much better!

    @annka maybe Dr Eugene just needed some downtime lol. That job can be stressful.

    Team Toya all the way!!! Do you and keep your head up!!

    Viola13 78 pts

    Whoever called you tacky Toya hit the nail on the head. Your bringing all the weapons to a wine tour is in bad taste. Dr. Simone said you really are from Detroit. What do you think about that comment? Was it a compliment, or does it demean you in any way? If you think it's flattering, you are more dense than I thought.

    Toya......I just love your husband, Dr. Eugene, as he's such a smart, wise, practical, & mature man!!! I hope that all of his wonderful qualities continue to rub-off on you & help you become a person of higher character!!!!

    You will NEVER please everyone honey. Be true to who you are. And the rest can love or hate, if you are doing YOUR best (no one else's) then lay your head down at night and rest well.

    Toya, please, maybe your handful of fans believe that you are a loyal friend and a laid back person but there are way too many of us that see you for who you really are. Your apology was not sincere. You think that it's OK that you and Kari whisper about Mariah and Quad all the time but then get mad when they tell you to your face. At least they are not lairs and back stabbers like you and Kari!

    Toya,

    I've been watching the show since the premier. I've missed a couple of episodes. What I've noticed is that Mariah is very, very messy. When I deal with ignorance, I remember a statement that my mom told me, "Every statement doesn't warrant a comment." Chalk it up to ignorance!

     Let's Be REAL....they are ALL messy.  I understand people have their "favorites" on the show, but the camera's haven't lied.  Toya mouth is as flabby as Mariah's and had she not been talking and denying it for 5 episodes...she might have some credibility.  Toya, talks mad game with sugar on top.  Quad and Mariah are just more colorful with it.

    I think talking about Mariahs daughter was and is trashy on your part... and in the words of my girl Quad catch fire

     But it's ok for Mariah and Quad to attack Toya's character???!!!

    @jai.simmons.9 @luvemtall415 Toya is an adult. And she has been messy since episode one. Bringing up Quad's marriage cancellation text. If she was a real friend she would have waited to ask Quad about the incident in a more intimate setting. Toya loves the drama , darling.

     airtonya  luvemtall415 Bottom line is, Tacky is a VERY MISERABLE woman; therefore, she wants others to be just as unhappy as she is.  I don't care what anyone says, NO ONE behaves (and gossips) the way Tacky does, UNLESS they are unhappy with themselves!  Mariah said it best:  "Toya must FIRST love herself, in order to love anyone else!"  Misery LOVES company!
