Interview0 Comments

I have a very low sperm count. I found out in college, at the University of Iowa. I worked at the hospital school, and they said, ‘Hey, you can donate blood or plasma,’ which I always did for beer money. And then there was a sign that said, ‘You can donate sperm for $35. And I was like, Now I know what I’m doing with my life! I’ll do that three times a day!’ And they [tested] it, and they were like, ‘Yeah, your sperm doesn’t work’.

I have decided that now that I have reached this age I want to lead a fuller life. I want to take more risks. You know what I’m saying I want to do, not crazy risks. I don’t want to go sky diving. I’m not going to take a Carnival cruz, but safe risks like I want to try new restaurants for example. It doesn’t always work in my favor like yesterday I tried a new Korean restaurant that I saw. And I took a risk and it was horrible. I took a risk. I think it was a nail salon during the day.

Yes, the town that we go skiing in every year they make this igloo and then they move it so it’s in a different place every year. You have to walk to it, like a mile in the woods. We snow shoe-ed there we get there and I’m a little claustrophobic so I didn’t want to go in the igloo. But I was told there might be wine in the igloo so I sacrificed. Inside it was beautiful. Inside you can see that there are trees that hold up the snow and they had a chandelier made out of deer antlers and they had candles on them. It was nice and then you had lunch.

That was a complete lie but once again there are confidentiality agreements. I went through a bankruptcy and actually it was settled in that case, people saw things but it was sealed. Hell no! I did not steal anything. That was an untruth but VH1 you are helping to promote an untruth.

Porsha Stewart interview

Interview0 Comments

Williams interviews Porsha Stewart and questions her about ex-husband Kordell Stewart’s sexuality and rumors of him committing adultery with men.

What I can say is this, whether he is gay or on the down low, that had nothing to do with our break up. The breakup had to do with the treatment I was receiving as a wife. I just kept hearing so much about it [rumors],  I decided to talk to him about it. There’s no way I can move to the next step and not talk to him about this. He just was very detailed about the whole situation. At the end of it he basically said there was no record so, I guess, it can’t be true because there’s no record. So. I don’t know. Take what you want from that. That’s what he said.
