Gizelle Bryant: Karen’s Braids Disrespected Her Not Me

Bravotv.com: What was it like to share your experience at Dooky Chase's with Candiace?

Gizelle Bryant: How amazing to have gone to Dooky’s and sit with Mrs. Chase. Clearly I had no idea that moment was going to be the last so it is bitter sweet, but I am grateful for all that she has shared not just with me and Candiace that day, but with the entire New Orleans community. She was such a blessing to everyone. Mrs. Chase will be missed.

Bravotv.com: Your father’s 80th birthday celebration was a huge success -- how did it feel celebrating him with your family, friends, and the ladies? Were you nervous to introduce the ladies to Steve?

GB: I was so happy to be with my family. Everybody came out and so I was excited for my Dad. I know these ladies so I know they are going to have unnecessary side comments about any man I bring around. It’s all good because it just solidifies my commentary about the men they have chosen to be with.

Gizelle Bryant Is Sick of Playing By Karen Huger's Rules

Bravotv.com: You got into it with Karen at Cafe Du Monde and mention how you feel that your friendship with Karen is one-sided. Why do you think she keeps asking you about Sherman? Why do you think she felt so disrespected by you?

GB: Why can’t I just eat my freakin' beignets in peace?!? I was so irritated with Karen because she can set boundaries, pick and choose what she wants to discuss, but it’s a crime if anyone else does. It was the wrong time for her to pluck my nerves, I had been waiting ALL DAY to go to Cafe Du Monde. Karen’s braids disrespected her not me.
