NANCY PELOSI FIRES BACK AT REPORTER WHO ASKS IF SHE ‘HATES’ TRUMP: ‘DON’T MESS WITH ME’ [WATCH]
Tamera Mowry-Housley: The last time you were on the show, you had turned down Joe Budden’s proposal in Time Square. Do you regret saying “no” in such a public way?
Tahiry: Well, he proposed in a public place. So, I mean…
Jeannie Mai: It’s a question.
Tahiry: Yeah, you, you get – you ask the question… I, I don’t regret it. I didn’t know I was that brave, too. It was closing one of the most important chapters of my life on national TV. I believe that the show had, at one point, had 5.1 million viewers at the time…
Loni Love: Wow.
Tahiry: So, to be able to say “no” to the man I thought, at that moment, was supposed to be my forever…
Tamera: Yeah.
Tahiry: … was big. Uh…
Loni: What made you say “no”?
Tahiry: I had to do what was best for me.
(The Real audience applauds)
Tahiry: I knew that that ring would come with…
Tamera: Lots of other stuff.
Tahiry: I knew that that ring would come with, um, you know, the show specials, the wedding specials, more – We were so big, people loved us together. But… I couldn’t do it. It wasn’t what my gut told me to do. So, I had to follow my gut.
Tamera: You have to listen to your gut.
Tahiry: None of that had mattered. You know what I’m saying? If the relationship wasn’t that healthy.
Loni: Do you think you made the right choice by saying “no”?
Tahiry: Absolutely. Absolutely.
Loni: Do you still love him? You have feelings?
Tahiry: Of course I love him! I love him as a person, yeah.
Rachel Lindsay: Well, Jeannie already asked you about castmates. You said “Joe”. So, I have to ask you. I have to poke you a little bit… How is the relationship between you and Joe now?
Tahiry: It depends on the day. It depends on other…
(The Real hosts and audience laugh)
Rachel: I’m gonna need a little bit more.
Tahiry: You guys have to tune in!
Loni: Okay!
Adrienne Houghton: Could you ever see love on the horizon? Could you ever?
Tahiry: With?
Rachel: Joe.
Tahiry: You guys have to tune in to see what’s happening! We’re all exes on this show. There’s Cyn, there’s Erica, there’s Tahiry, there’s Joe. There’s so much happening. Imagine what that filming is like.
Jeannie: I wanna know, is there still chemistry with you and Joe? Like, do you feel chemistry?
Tahiry: I think, I think that Joey and I are great on film, off film – we just have that, like – we’re just fly together. We, like, have fun.
Jeannie: So, there is chemistry.
Tahiry: It’s weird because for somebody who did, who has done so much in the past, and for me to be able to just surpass that, like be over it and still enjoy him – it’s cool. It depends on the day.
Adrienne: You have a friendship there ultimately.
Tahiry: Absolutely! After being with somebody for such a long time, you can’t just hate. I mean, I grew up. I grew. I forgave. It’s time to, you know, move on.
