Gizelle Bryant: "Chiiillllleee My Eyes Almost Popped Out of My Head"

Gizelle Bryant was not ready for Ashley Darby and Michael's blowout and promises to support her until "spunky" Ashley returns. 

By Gizelle Bryant
Karen Huger's Boudoir Shoot

Bravotv.com: What do you think about Ray’s dating advice? What aboutKaren Huger saying Kevin is too good for you?

  • Gizelle Bryant: God knows I love the Black Bill Gates, however, a man who has been married for 20 years is not someone that I would take dating advice from in 2017.  When Ray was in the "dating" game I believe he was wearing bell bottoms and an afro picking his dates up in a horse and buggy.  I think it's admirable that he doesn't want me to be alone. However, not all women are damsels in distress looking for a man to save them so that they can be barefoot and pregnant while in the kitchen making biscuits and gravy.  Now Karen may be on to something when she said that Kevin is too nice for me because I'm a very strong and opinionated woman. I'm clear that I can run over a man in 2.3 seconds without blinking so I do need a challenge. I need a man to be firm, occasionally telling me NO. Sad but true.
  • Bravotv.com: What were you thinking when Karen said she wanted to do a boudoir shoot? 
  • GB: I was so excited that Karen wanted to get Lady Eloise back into her marriage. I'm sure it's difficult to keep the romance alive after 20 years so my hat goes off to her for even trying. However, the boudoir theme gave me a visual of the Grand Dame and the Black Bill Gates in the horizontal hopscotch and that made me cringe a little. Yep, I threw up in my mouth. 

    Bravotv.com: What was it like being there for the photos? 

    GB: I was trying to encourage Karen to think more Amber Rose and less Downton Abbey. I mean if were going to do a sexy shoot then let's do the darn thing. I'm talking fishnets, bodysuit, shoulders back, breasts up, booty poked...NOW snap the picture.

    Ashley Darby's Husband Michael Swats at Cameras
     
    Bravotv.com: What is like watching this fight betweenAshley Darby and Michael? What do you think about their issues?

    GB: I was so not ready for the Ashley/Michael showdown...chiiillllleee my eyes almost popped out of my head while my mouth stayed wide open, what in the world?! Like, OMG, WTF...HORRIBLE! I mean, if looks could kill Micheal would have died with 50 shots to the head and a knife in his neck. I totally understand Ashley's frustration, she will not be CONTROLLED. Period. EVER. The End. 

    Bravotv.com: Tell us about confronting Ashley, and her admission that she has been taking her marriage problems out on the ladies at the event.

    GB: It was great to hear that Ashley recognizes that she wrongly allowed the stress of the restaurant and her marriage to cause her to be a person that she is not. Many people just act like jerks and they have no explanation for it. I can only imagine the ton of bricks that she has on her shoulders trying to balance personal and professional. I will be here to support her until fun, spunky Ashley comes back. Girl Bang!
