To actually get you here cuz uh when I reached out originally I didn't think you was gonna be open or receptive to an opportunity to play appearing on Club Shed. Why not? Well, I mean, I've seen, I don't really listen because I try not to listen. If it's someone that I would like to have on my show, I try not to listen to what they say because I don't want them to try to sway me in the questions that I'm going to ask or the direction that we're going to take the interview in. But I've seen you on a lot of different podcasts and no none of them are quite similar to what kind of what I do yeah and I would

say that I'm really different depending on the platform and the people okay the energy so version that people get to me it just roll the dice you never know I'm like a box of chocolates you never know okay Brittany Nicole Renner morning is born in Mississippi born in Ohio born Ohio, moved to Mississippi at a very young age. Ocean Springs, Mississippi. Ocean Springs. So where is that close to? Jackson, Bahele?

It's about three hours from Jackson, about an hour from New Orleans, right on the Gulf. Oh, okay. So you're close. You're on the border. Mm-hmm. Okay. So what was, I mean, you're siblings, brothers, sisters? Yeah, I have two brothers and one sister.

And you fall where at in this mix one the oldest you're the oldest yeah oh okay so what was what was Brittany Renner's childhood like I want to sit this up because I want to see how were you like this to there I want to know the transformation that you went through the metamorphosis that you went through in order to become what we see sitting here today all right well I was raised with my grandparents from about nine years old up okay there was a lot of family history that was very peculiar I guess I can say for lack of better words. So I was raised by my grandparents. I'm biracial half black mama Wait, daddy blacks. Oh, yeah. Yeah. So I was raised by Mississippi that happened that happened in Ohio. Okay, go ahead

Yeah, so so I originally lived in Ohio. We moved down Mississippi. I live with my grandparents My grandparents white on my mom's side. Grew up very whitewashed, very sheltered. Soccer was my life from fourth grade up. And I would say that I was just always been very sensitive to things. I've always wondered like why am I wired this way? Why do I look at the world the way that I do? I wish I could turn off the feeling aspect So I've always been a very deep feeler a deep thinker even as a young person So I would just say like sheltered whitewashed very strict Dinner at 530 you can have a snack at 8 o'clock bed 9 very strict when you say you read about your grandparents what transpired that

You know you weren't with your mom and dad? So my dad, he was an alcoholic. He's been sober for 12 years now, so shout out to him. So he was going through that part of during that time. My mom, there were things I didn't know growing up when I was going through that, but my mom, basically my grandma was like, you're not stable not stable I'm gonna just go ahead and raise them she just kind of took us my mom yes so she just doesn't think yeah well and

she yeah that's so that's what she did um so it wasn't really fair to my mom but it was probably what was I mean it wasn't the best for us that's what happened so you know they gave us that stability and that structure that we really needed as kids. Okay. So the relationship, was there any resentment that your grandmother took you from? I mean, I don't want to sound harsh, but she's dead. It was that resentment growing up that you're with your grandmother and your mom is over here and you're not with her. Was there any resentment on either side? Your mom let this happen or your grandma made this happen? Well, I didn't have this awareness as a child.

When I was about 26 years old, I kind of got the whole story as to how everything transpired and why things were the way that they were and some of our family secrets as well. But no, I think there was always that longing to, you know, that I called it the burden of unconditional love. Right.

Where I yearned for my mom, just like I yearn for my dad when my dad was in jail I used to write in letters So there was always that longing for my actual parents and it was hard connecting with my grandparents at times because they were so old School, they could it didn't really understand a lot of things and they had such a tight leash on us You know, is that why you rebelled is because it was such a tight leash I mean I didn't really do anything well it sounds crazy now I was just you know eighth grade drinking hypnotic you know sneaking out TPing houses just normal stuff but yeah I just wanted to I was very curious I'm a very curious person so yeah I just wanted a little bit of room to breathe when we weren't really given that

Did you understand that you were different because you were biracial because I'm assuming they're not a whole lot of biracial kids in, Mississippi No, there's definitely at the school. I went to Ocean Springs There were not even a lot of just black people in general at our school It was like a little huddle of us and so who did you click up with? It was like a little huddle of us. So who did you click up with? I mean, I played soccer. Right. So yeah, you clicked.

I mean, now I will say that I linked with the Tokens. All the Tokens we linked up together on the soccer team and stuff, but mainly white girls is who I played with. But yeah, my best friends are black, so yeah. So what was, in middle school, in in high school what was Brittany Renner like were you were you like that it girl like I ain't got time for you were you like okay I'm cool yeah I'm popular but I'm cool I'm down-to-earth did you pick on people what was what what were you like well I had a bully in middle school I'll never

forget her and how she made me feel I went to the guidance counselor about her multiple times so I had a bully in middle school. I'll never forget her and how she made me feel. I went to the guidance counselor about her multiple times. So I had a bully, so that's why I hate bullies now. And I bully bullies because I cannot stand people who pick on others because I went through that. I felt very overlooked. I don't really feel like that I was that beautiful when I was in middle school. I've always had, like, struggled with my skin,

with acne, hyperpigmentation so I felt very looked over and it wasn't really until I got to high school where I kind of got like a little right shape right it's like attention for the wrong reason so I mean you grew into this body yes but it's still even in high school still wasn't like a super focal point wasn't probably until more college you know but I felt very invisible so I think that's why for me I've never I actually developed personality and social skills because I haven't been beautiful my entire life so that's why you know I consider myself the people's darling because I know how to talk to people I can talk to anyone right and

that's what I did growing up so when did boys become prevalent or when did you become interested in boys with this a high school thing a high school thing or was it when you got to college I guess in what way like dating or yes dating or were you like I got it guys are really interested in me guys will buy me candy flowers take me out on dates take me to you know yeah I don't feel like I ever had my pick of the litter though not in high school again I still there were other girls and again I feel like to being like one of more of

the minorities is like you're just looked over a lot and again I don't feel like I grew into my looks until a little bit more so college you know so more of a late bloomer but I mean I remember practicing making out with the mirror when I was in middle school you know I think I had my first kiss at I don't know maybe seventh or eighth grade right yeah you know so you like I like know, I don't know. But, yeah, so I don't know. I feel like guys, even in high school, it still wasn't that much of a thing. I mean, I had maybe one or two boyfriends, but that was kind of it.

Anything serious? Anything like, okay, you're wearing his jacket, you're wearing his class ring. Oh, I wish I could have done that. Like, wear the leather jacket. Oh, no, I never got to done that like where you know you wore your jacket worth class ring no that wasn't a thing no the guy that I my first boyfriend he went to a different school oh okay so I got no see what he was doing that he's only you're older than me but and that was actually in high

school the first and last time I ever cheated on anyone was when I was 16 years old. The guy that, my first boyfriend, he went away on a camping trip. I was feeling emotionally neglected, and so I invited him. Damn, he was gone for a day. He was gone for a couple days

on a camping trip with his family. Okay. And I was feeling neglected. You know, texting wasn't, I don't think it was super big back then, but so I invited a guy over and I kissed feeling neglected. You know, texting wasn't, I don't think it was super big back then. But so I invited a guy over and I kissed someone else. Three days later, so mind you, he comes back from the trip. He has this spray painted shirt for me that had a soccer ball on my name.

He made me this bracelet that said V-Runner. And I was like, oh my God, I'm so, like I felt so guilty, sick to my stomach. So three days later, I told him the truth. You told him? Absolutely! Take that to your grave! Never! Everything ain't meant to be told!

Why not? If it can be destroyed by the truth, it should be destroyed by the truth. No. That is not a way to live. A lie is okay if it will spare someone great harm or embarrassment. You're a cheater, huh? How did you deduce that? Because I'm trying to spare his feelings. or embarrassment. You're a cheater, huh? Oh, my gosh! How did you deduce that?

Because I'm trying to spare his feelings. Because liars never prosper! You didn't lie? You told him the truth, but if had you not told him, a lie is not told unless it's spoken. You can lie by omission. No!

That's leaving the truth out. That's still a lie. Did he ask you? No. He had no idea. There you go. Whoop, there it is. Whoop, no it's not.

No, it's not. No, you tell the truth. If it can be destroyed by the truth, it should be destroyed by the truth. Like if my truth takes something away from me, I wasn't meant to have it to begin with. Well, you know he's emotionally scarred for life probably. Yeah. So you want that on your resume? Yeah.

I'd rather wear the truth, yes. I want people to see me for what I am, whatever that looks like, I want everything on there. It's okay to be seen for what? Don't erase anything off my resume. It is okay to also be seen for what you're not. Okay. I feel like you stretch before you read.

No, no, no. You, you could've just, you didn't have to tell him he went back he deserved to know the truth i would want to know the truth if you kiss somebody else you better fucking tell me he done went and got you he done spent his heart on money got you a t-shirt oh my god i was so brought you a little bracelet i know get yep but i had to tell him the truth and you broke his heart because telling the truth is an act of love. So when you really care about someone, you tell them the truth. When you care about yourself, you tell the truth. And I ain't afraid of anybody.

You love them so much that you cheat on them. But anyway, we're going to move on. We're going to move on. No, no, no. We're going to move on. 16. 16. Obviously, you're good at soccer.

Great. You're great at soccer. I was great at soccer, please. You get a scholarship to Jackson State. The Jackson State. The Jackson State. The Jackson State University. Okay. What was great at soccer, please. You get a scholarship to Jackson State. The Jackson State. The Jackson State. University. Okay.

What was that experience like? Okay, you go to college, obviously. Now you're around, you know, you clicked up with the other half. And so now you're at a place, it's all you. It was a culture shock. I found out about Lil Boosie, how to mow his swag, people, you know, hanging out on the plaza. And I really saw the camaraderie amongst black people that I was just like, there ain't nothing like this. I'm talking about we looking out for each other in glasses and stuff.

So there was nothing like Jackson State, you know, but I like, so I played soccer. So I was busy a lot. Didn't get to go to the homecoming and do a lot of different events because of the season, but it was a culture shock. Did you know about HBCUs prior to you going to one? No. And honestly, like my grades really weren't the best. Why? I hate school, but I love to learn.

Boy, that's oxymoron. Well, that's what I. Boy, that's oxymoron. Well, that's what I am. I am an oxymoron. I am a juicy contradiction. Right. Like, I love Halloween, but I don't like scary movies. Okay. So, you go to Jackson State.

It's a culture shop. All of a sudden, now you have to click up with the other half, the half that you weren't really necessarily, not because you didn't want to, because you just probably felt more comfortable. I wasn't exposed to it. Right. Yeah. You felt more comfortable. And so now, how did the girls treat Brittany? Because you're different.

I mean, you know, you got paper bag skin. You're brown. Are you sure we can't have one more shot? Sure! Woo! Jesus, help! Just a baby one, but wow. I've never had anyone ask me that question. Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do. I honestly felt, I felt accepted.

You felt accepted. I did, yeah. And what I will tell you, because I know this is like a, it's a popular topic. It's a really interesting question. When we were out on that field playing against those, because there were a lot of HBCUs that had predominantly white players. Right. When those players were on the field calling us N-word b****es.

Right. It wasn't half of me was enraged or, oh, that, that, that don't apply to me. Right. You know, i'm only half right we're all fighting right so that's why for me it's like whatever color my skin is baby let's go let's start up let's go because you're not going to talk to us like that right so half or not how was it soccer aside you're not on the soccer field you walk into class you're in the student center or you're in the yard

I mean what so what would how did the women how would the women at Jackson State treat Britney? I felt very much accepted. I feel like black people are the most accepting people on this planet And if they don't accept you just cuz something's fucking off with you I've seen both sides. Right. And I feel like they're the most understanding, the most compassionate, the most accepting, the most open. I read that you led Jackson State to the first ever SWAG soccer championship in 2010.

You won tournament MVP. And freshman of the year. And freshman of the year. Mm-hmm. Did you ever think about pursuing soccer professionally? Yeah but love has always been my career. Oh man. You met a guy. The quarterback. Oh man. And guess what? He was white. Hold on, hold on. Time out, time out. Let me get a 20 second time out. You go to an HBCU, at high school you clicked up with white. You go to an HBCU where there's like 99.9% are black.

And you date the quarterback who's white. How the hell did that happen? It was, oh my God. No more pink meat for me. Oh Lord, that burned me. CJ, I sure hope we got a show after this one. You were funny. Oh God, how did it happen?

Fate. Fate what? Fate. It was fate because it was literally kind of like in passing. Right. We saw one another, and I was just like, oh, my gosh, she's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. And that was kind of.

Ain't no brothers beating to the punch. There was a basketball player. He had green eyes. He was cute. But he wasn't on show. He was fucking one of the other J sets. You know what I'm saying? It was a lot going on. Right.

So you and the quarterback, y'all date how long? Well, I do have to disclose that I was his side chick for 10 months while we were at school. Because he had a girlfriend back at home. I had zero respect for myself back then. So we dated for about, I think. So how did you find out that you were the type? Oh, he told me. Hold up, hold up, hold up. So he tells you that. I mean, at the very beginning, he gave me the option. Again, telling the truth is an act of love. And you was like, okay. I was just like, at

the time, I was like, that's not gonna do with me. So obviously, you didn't feel about yourself then the way't feel about yourself then the way you feel about yourself now. Absolutely, yeah, because I would never accept breadcrumbs. But then I was just anything I can get. Like crumbs off the whatever, you know, that's how it was. Was that because the yearning for affection

from your dad or something, were you missing something that you was willing to accept that over nothing I would say I mean you know looking back of course yeah I would say that's where it started and I have a great relationship with my father now I have very healthy male relationships in my life and because I have that now I do view men as a whole very differently I move uh even with dating very differently because I have these healthy bonds with men you know these platonic relationships with men these fam these family bonds with men so yeah I think then I was just

searching for that and I thought the answer was outside of me I thought it was going to be solved with a man so that's how I got myself in a bit of a pickle but that's why I left Jackson State I was in love so when I quit so you left when he left or yeah because he I mean but yeah I didn't tell his name so but I'm assuming most people know who he is yeah well yeah I guess I fuck him but 50 50 with me I'm like most people know who he is. Yeah, well, yeah, who gives a fuck? Fuck him. But if he 50-50 with me, I'm like, I don't want to. Fuck him. But, yeah, I played two seasons at Jackson State, and I left after that. Because he left, he was going to go into the draft, and I was like, well, I love you,

and I don't want to be without you. So I'm leaving school. So you gave up your potentially your career in order to be with him while he pursued his career. Yeah. So how, after he left school, you dropped out of Jackson State. How long were you together with him after that?

When I left in, was it the end of 2011? We broke up the summer of 2014. that's when I moved to LA mm-hmm so y'all together for a minute yeah he's the reason I got into fitness got my body together he taught me everything I know about fitness I can go into the gym and I know how to navigate do I need to do to get it done so he taught me a lot about business fitness and we made a lot of money together right you know so that's why he was still a very important piece in that puzzle did you once you guys did you think it was too late for you to pursue potential soccer again after you had left and been away from it well there was a new coach that came in and he was like hey I really want you to come back on the team maybe

you could just come back a good red red shirt and then play, you know, the last year. I told him I wasn't interested in that. So I had the opportunity to at least finish out. Right. But I didn't want to. I was... You didn't love. It's my Achilles heel.

Love is a powerful thing, isn't it? Mm-hmm. And I haven't changed. You love hard. Mm-hmm. That's why I had to be careful. So let me ask you this. To your childhood, how difficult, your grandmother's very strict,

how difficult was it to try to unlearn some of the things that she tried to instill? Because I still carry a lot of the things that my grandmother, my grandparents instilled in me, being from the South and they were very strict. I still carry some of that because I look at it as a form of discipline. And at the time, I, like yourself I like yourself like damn why is it like this why do you have why we can't do the X Y & Z but as I've gotten older I realized what they were trying to do they were trying to put up guardrails and safeguards to prevent me from doing things or prevent things from happening

in my life that I didn't see at the time. Okay, so you're asking me what did I have to unlearn or how hard was it? How hard was it? I mean, I think it's just any person, any type of programming. It's going to take, if it took years to learn, it may take years to unlearn. So there were just things, again, even as a biracial person, I remember I read a book that it was, is it, I think it's called, is it me, is it you, or is it my skin color or something, but it explained a lot of the history between white and black women So I think there's just certain things that you just have to educate yourself on and that just takes some research

Well, I've been reading this quote and I've seen it like 50,000 times They say you only become learn who you are once you've learned once you've unlearned what you've been told that's a bar so being biracial did was there any stereotypes were there any like blacks or this or whites or that knowing that half of you is this and half of you is that so you have to be a certain way around this class this race of people and a certain way around that race of people and although like you can I mean feel red I mean I don't know if you could you could you can get away with saying the n-word or you black mo oh well you know things of that nature so how hard was it for you to like because you have to like

okay I'm over here with you guys okay no I'm back over here with you guys I mean there's a lot of stereotypes that are true okay like my audience my audience would never see you before You still didn't give me that quote. I will give it to you. No. I see what you're trying to do. No. Let's have one. Yeah. Let's have one. What are we toasting to? Can you toast us up?

Oh, no. You did toast us up. Yeah. It's on you now. You keep... Well, damn. Every time we toast you true love. Every time.

Every time. Are you really looking for love? I'm not looking for love. I'm prepared for love. Okay. Clink, clink. Britney fighting love. Love fighting Britney. Okay, well.

I was a sip that time. It's good. Mississippi, when I think of Mississippi, I'm from rural South Georgia. I was about to say, not too much. No. We know you a country boy. I am.

I am. Like a corncob at our house. I don't see any similarities between rural South Georgia, Mississippi, and L.A. So how hard was it for you? Like, L.A., Mississippi, ain't nothing in common. Nothing. Dirty. Disrespectful.

I mean, it was, again, another culture another culture shock right especially when you're in the south too everybody speaks to one another yes yeah i think that was like the biggest thing i was like why is everyone so rude or everyone's you know everyone's going nowhere fast these cars and honking and beeping i think getting on the freeway was one of the scariest things when i moved to la i was like you know um but yeah it was it was really hard because I didn't realize how much it was like a dog-eat-dog, like people looking out for themselves. That was very new to me. Especially after years being on travel teams, the college team,

having that type of sisterhood and camaraderie to where, like, every person is for themselves. That was weird. That was really weird. And it's still weird to this day. And I'm 31. So when you say, like, because I agree, it was always yes, sir say like because I agree it was always yes sir no sir yes ma'am no ma'am you hold the door for someone like hey how you doing today and now people look at you like and so now I've kind of like desensitized to that hey get the door yourself I mean you

know we after you were trapped for so long people looking at you like you're crazy. Now, obviously, people speak to me because they recognize, oh, hey, because I think sometimes a lot of people will recognize who I am. But for the most part, if people don't recognize who you are, they're just not saying hello to a total stranger. No, no, no. They're definitely not. They just don't exist or entitled that you held the door.

Did you know you was always going to move to L.A. or did you always want to leave Mississippi? I didn't always know that. I just followed my heart. Brought me to Michigan. That's where I lived for a little bit. I lived in Wyoming, Michigan. And I actually had a cover shoot for this magazine. We won't say. I had a cover shoot then and I came out here, went like a house party just really did it up when I came out here and my first boyfriend I we broke up there was just a lot of insecurities a lot of you know I'm saying but no I don't know what you say here can you didn't say anything okay no I know what you're saying. I would know what you were saying if you had said something, but since you didn't say anything, so I don't know what you're saying.

I feel like in my first relationship, I thought that the only thing a guy could do is, you know, that was unhealthy. Or, you know, one of the only problems that you could have in a relationship is getting cheated on. So I was very open to opening up the relationship, if you will. I know. Dang, LA did that to you? No, that was before. Oh, you were? Too much love in hip hop.

We were watching Joe Budden and Kaitlyn Garcia at the time. Yeah, and I was just like, maybe he'll only, he won't have to worry about other girls if I let him fuck other girls. Oh my God. I'm talking about naive. Poor thing. But um go that wasn't going on when i was a kid i bought 30 years too early

i missed i missed the gold they're talking about the golden era i missed that what i'm saying is is that i ended up breaking up with that guy right and i didn't go back to get any of my stuff in michigan and i moved LA literally like two other Instagram girls won't say their name But two other Instagram girls who live with this photographer in a studio in downtown LA right we had like bunk beds I would I don't know what I would have thought like Mississippi like you to wit like Kind of like south and little north Atlanta. Yeah, no, no I don't like Atlanta like that. Whoa, whoa, how you not like the A?

Too much going on. And it's busy as hell. That's right. Yeah. But it's really nice. Sip there. So what were your plans when you came to LA? What did you want to be? What was, I mean, you had dropped out of school. So obviously, so when you were at Jackson State, what were you studying to be? What was your, what was going to be your major?

I don't even know. Pre-dental. It could have been something stupid. I don't know. So you majored in... I just took classes so I could play soccer. So you majored in eligibility. So basically, I just want to stay on the side. Yes, absolutely. I just want to stay on the side. Yes. Absolutely.

So when you get to L.A., so what did you, okay, because you say your ex, he taught you fitness, he taught you how to make. Yeah, so I had a big following. Okay. So that's what you were going to be? I didn't have a f***ing plan. I just came out here like, I am beautiful, I'm young, I got all these followers, there's two other girls in the bunk beds that were all here. I don't know what we're chasing, but we're here.

Right. Brand deals, like that's how I was getting money, was brand deals. Right. So, it's like you can, I mean I was 22 when I moved here. Right. So I was moving around, spending money, being able to do what I wanted to do,

because I was getting money from brand deals. When did you- So that's how I was making my way. When did you realize you was like that? When I was like that? Oh boy. I don't even know what was like that aha moment because I feel like I had a lot of access

at a very young age to people that I never thought would know my name. So it was kind of like living in Disneyland. I'm like, my God, I couldn't get enough. So I don't know, probably when I moved out to LA, just being 22, 23. And because Coach Prime, you know Coach Prime was a former coach at Jackson State. He had you speaking to his guys. And you said that I've got more checks in my DM than Nike mm-hmm so is that how it started that's when you knew like damn

man look at my inbox my inbox running over I mean I think that was definitely a part of it I think just being able to literally and figuratively skip the line and get paid to like stand in front of a movie poster and post it on your page, it was it was quick money. Like it I don't know, it was the access. It was the money. It was the men. I mean, again, people like to judge me and don't you? Well, yeah, I mean, I like what I like.

My love, man. That's yeah. Yeah. I mean, don't you? Well, yeah, I mean, I like what I like my love men. That's yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I mean, I'm being patient for my husband. I mean, I'm sitting here twiddling my thumbs, flicking the bean, just waiting on a real man, you know? A real man.

Give me Brittany Renner's idea of a, if someone says, okay, draw your real man and then give me Brittany Renner's idea of a if if if someone says okay draw your real man and then give me the attributes in which you want him to possess okay let me pull out the parchment okay so first things first honest okay he's honest he's adventurous mm-hmm he's affectionate that's something not a lot of people are naturally he is respectful He is curious about the life around him and he's committed to himself. I would say those are probably the core values that I'm thinking of someone who is that believes in true love. that believes in true love true love that's what you're looking for storybook I mean if it's true love is it something that you've read or is something that you've experienced and you know what it's like I've can't say that I've ever experienced it necessarily just because I feel

that I would be with that person but it's always something that's been on my heart and if it was put on my heart it was for a reason it because it exists, just like you're able to manifest the way that you are because it's put on there for you to materialize. Same here. I think a lot of people think that it's not going to happen for me because of the way that I carry myself or different versions of me that they're stuck on, but it's on my heart for a reason. That's why I've had to experience the flip side of the coin, the darker side of the coin, where I've had a lot of heartbreak and disappointments because how else would I appreciate true love when it comes to me? Because I've had everything come to me so easy, even with soccer. I didn't have to practice.

I was good. I'm good. Great. I mean, that's just what it was. I didn't have to. That's what it was. So it's like when you don't know the value of anything because things come to you so naturally, because you're beautiful, because your body, the followers, the social media, the notoriety, you don't know the value of anything because things come to you so naturally because you're beautiful because your body the followers

The social media the notoriety you don't value shit, right? So that's why I think for me so you didn't have an appreciation of anything. No cuz I could get whatever I want So going through some of the stuff I went through the last couple years. I've really got to see what I've made of When you're at Jackson State, where you're in sorority. Yeah, my grades aren't good enough When you were at Jackson State, were you in a sorority? No. My grades weren't good enough. Damn, Britt.

Did... I mean, so you... You were just at... You were just at college kicking it. I mean, I wouldn't even say... Well, I was shocked up. I was playing, like... Like house. You were shocked at a college?

Mm-hmm. In the Palisades. People at Jackson know where that is. Palisades. Mm-hmm. Playing house. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

Your grandmother would be so disappointed. I mean, she was alive when that happened. And what was she gonna do? Nothing. But I'm saying that's why I'm saying she's gonna be disappointed, because she's gonna say, Brittany, I raised you better than that,

or at least I thought I did. Honestly, no, right, I was just... No, no, no, no, no, no, honesty. Honesty is the key. Honesty is the best policy. My grandma said she never sucked, so I'm not even really looking to take advice from her. Come on! You gonna put Granny... She ain't experienced life!

You gonna put Granny out there like that? Truth is truth. So I'm not really listening to her. So when Deion asked you to come back and speak to the kids, to his team, the young men at Jackson State, did you prepare to like, okay, I'm going to touch on this, this, and this, or you just went up there and let it flow from the heart? Well, originally I just wanted tickets to the game.

I think it was a homecoming game or something. And he's like, no, I want you to speak to my team. So in my mind I was just like, okay, I don't really know what, I don't know what about. think it was a homecoming game or something and he's like no I want you to speak to my team so in my mind I was just like okay I don't really know what I don't know what about I guess he said the game of life right and I'm curious because I know that you asked him about it did he ever get into detail about what we discussed no and you've never seen the footage right I saw some of the footage but like I said I don't like because I, okay, one day I would like potentially for her to be on my podcast. Now, obviously, that would happen a couple of years ago, so I was going to let some time pass by before I ask for you to come on my show.

But I didn't want to sway any of the questions I could potentially ask and hopefully I'm trying to ask questions I got because I've kind of seen and my researcher and my producer CJ I think does a great job of making sure that we don't we try not to touch on a whole lot of things that you've already spoken about so that's why I wanted to start back from the beginning I wanted to Britain in the cold renter I want a I'm taking it back yeah i mean i think what i didn't like about speaking at jackson state is because the way that it was marketed was that i was a cautionary tale oh that's not what if you were to play back the whole footage what am i warning you guys about because if i was a gold digger I would be easily the dumbest one.

I'd be the least successful one. Like, I am not in a position to tell young men about gold diggers or what women do. Because the friends that I have, they're not in this business. They are call center, nurses, work at a freaking enterprise. So, I didn't like that it made it seem like I'm coming in there and I'm telling you guys hey don't get got that's not what happened okay so what just give us a brief synopsis okay you get called you and he said guys I'm bringing someone to in front of you today to speak to you

that's gonna give you some some some some light gonna give you some game that's the way he likes to use like I'm gonna give you game and this person although the package is is nicely bundled in a nice neat presentable package you need to hear the message that she's going to say so you walk up there and everybody like she's going to say so you walk up there and everybody like so now you know what's going on hey I mean I can just imagine hell if I'm an 18 19 year old someone like yourself walks in I'm thinking the same thing these probably young men thinking so now I've got to sit lustful thoughts aside yeah and hear what you have to say i think we did diana and i did a great job kind of spitballing

and he would you know help set up the questions and different things you wanted me to answer but what i shared was my experience and to not waste women's time because you know hell hath no fury like a woman's scorn so really but don't try to correlate no no no i just i don't i don't i'm not a woman so you're asking me just the way you know why you said it you know what what you mean why why i said how did i say it okay we're gonna leave the undertow no no no brittany no no because you're like oh really so you're familiar no i mean i? So you're familiar. No. I mean, I'm asking you to. So this is new information. Is that what warrants that response?

Brittany, you're asking me, as a man, to speak to a situation that I would know nothing about considering that I'm not a woman. So I don't know what's going on. Because me, sure, things have happened, but I have to move it along. I don't get the luxury of being able to be scornful and to lash out or to retaliate if someone says don't call me again I don't have the luxury of calling you again because that is harassment Shannon Sharpe called me

harassment I'm gonna be in the paper I'm gonna lose my job so you can understand that I'm speaking the things that I don't have the luxury of being able to do that yes but you also because I've listened to a few of your videos more recently yes up to this day where you are very big about whatever your dating life is in private and you don't want it to be public it's this just like you said if you if you date in private you can break up in private yes so let me finish my thought the reality is is that you know what i'm talking about that's why you are you move the way that you move in dating because you can't just be out here all willy-nilly

and and whatever you're doing especially publicly because if you do some publicly you're doing, especially publicly, because if you do some publicly, you're gonna have to answer to it publicly. But I'm saying in general, a lot of men with status, I mean, who are they supposed to date? They're gonna go after women who typically have less than them. And even women who may have greater than or equal to. Still, hell ha, no fury, like a woman scorned. Well, Oprah's taken.

Beyonce's taken. You would date Oprah? No, I'm just saying. Cancel. No taken you would date Oprah no I'm just saying you talk you know I'm saying when you talk about men of high value and then look we're gonna talk about we got to differentiate that okay so let's just say man half a million million owner mm-hmm the pool of dating the equivalent it's not the same you know that yeah water's wet so that's what I'm saying so when you say oh man to have they're gonna date women left there what is wet but that's what okay so I'm going back to a lot of people male or female right don't have a lot to lose so when

there are these breakups or if there was somebody who was maybe dating with ill intentions when that stuff happens it can get really messy right right it can get messy especially when you don't have that much going for yourself because you're like oh this person was my way out so now I'm going to out them or post screenshots like there's been so much stuff in the news that I've been seeing with basketball players and certain things and you know what I'm talking about when I was saying any names, but that type of stuff.

When you, I remember when, I'm trying to think, I don't know if you said it on a radio show or TV show about your dating prowess you was with one man two men three men four men over

the course of a 24 hour 48 hour span did you think about the ramifications of how people men women everybody would look at you because or does that not bother you or you learn to tune that out so you're referring to one in similar I can actually recall a pinpoint a perfect for you there is a video that I did in my car where I was talking about how I had sex with was it three men and a day and then I ended up getting a yeast infection? Yes. I came out pretty unscathed for just a yeast infection. Right.

Considering what I could have gotten. Right. It wasn't that, you know, oh, man, I hope people don't. Well, you could have gotten killed out of it. I mean, they talk about it. I was on birth control for 10 years before I had my son. I got off of it because there was a conversation with my child's father. Okay.

So, again, the whole trapping thing, can't trap the willing babe. And on top of that, I never wanted to have a, I looked at kids as crotch goblins. You never wanted a baby daddy. You wanted to be a mom. You didn't want to be a baby mama. You wanted to be a wife. That's why I waited so long. I had my baby when I was 29.

I thought I was doing it right. I thought that was my guy. And I never really liked kids. I always thought, I referred to them as crotch goblins, to be honest. You know, but as I got older, wanted one but did you think I think about the ramifications of telling people that I had sex multiple men yes I don't care it's the truth if you don't if you don't see me as a potential dating person then great one less heart to break leave me alone and I'm gonna continue to live but

you do understand Brittany that's hard for me look like you said public versus private now if you and I having a conversation and we're you're sitting in here we have a conversation you said well Shannon I slept with this many men okay that's one thing that's between you and I but to have that conversation and then everybody Sam John and everybody else knows it that's a whole different that's knows it. That's a whole different ballgame, Brittany. That's fine with me. I mean, I feel that way. But that's selfish because all you're thinking about is you.

What about him? He's got to be with you. He has got to be with me? You know what I'm saying? He has the privilege to be with me. Okay. Because you know how many women you've slept with? Brent, that's...

Do you know how many women you've slept with? Yes or no? I'm doing the interview. Do you know how many women you've slept with? Brent, that's... Do you know how many women you've slept with? Yes or no? I'm doing the interview. Do you know how many women you've slept with? Yes. Double digits? Triple digits? Here we go.

Sit back in this position. Brittany. Double or triple? Brittany, I'm the interviewer. You're the interviewer. I can't ask any questions? You can ask questions. Okay, so...

When you have your podcast, invite me on and you and I will have this conversation, okay? Now, back to our originally normal schedule program you do understand that a man pride is woman to not look I don't have any I don't have any problem you know three bodies four body five bodies ten bodies that that what you did before me long you I mean I'm you know I'm pretty I'm pretty lenient because I've kind of you know lawyers doctors exotic dancers yeah so you you love what you know you love what you love Wow but but if it is a it's a it's a heart it's a high bar to hurdle if she makes things that she's done public you I think you understand what

I'm saying I believe that the average person is below average so the average man is most likely not going to but you're not gonna be interested in no average man you like what you like stop it and i never i never argued with you on that you didn't let me finish my thought go ahead let me okay and then okay and then we right okay what i'm saying is is that the average guy would tell you that i'm not wife material that's fine because i don't want to be with the average man the man that i want is someone who is understanding of that. And if that's asking for too much from the male species, then I must be better off alone then.

I don't think I'm asking for the impossible. You literally just said that exotic dancers, lawyers, whoever, you love who you love. Who you're drawn to is who you're drawn to. The average person is not gonna wanna make that jump. And that's okay, because I'm not talking to them. I don't need anybody average. I'm not average. There's nothing about my mentality that's average.

I don't carry myself as average. I don't look average. I'm not mundane and forgettable. Just like these other. I stand for something. I get so much flack because there's this little box and people want me to just like suck it shut up Well make it only fans. Let me finish them

They want me to go over here and just admit that I'm a gold digger that I trap guys and that I only care about money But because I know so hard about true love it's a mother But you can understand that you see because I like sex like yeah Whoa, Rick Rick because I like sex because I'm curious we're mic'd up and we got boom I don't care I'm saying you can understand why people will find that hard about true love because they're looking at it true love is not what you look but what you're saying what you're selling doesn't say what am I selling well I mean when you go on and you in your car you say well I had sex with three men I

was back in 2018 by the way go ahead sorry I mean era no man no woman can outrun their past because all it does it makes you tired when it catches up with you so what you did in 2018 people still know about it in 2023. So this notion that you said, well, it happened five years ago, it happened 10 years ago, people have what they call the Internet, people have what they call memory. Mmm. Good. Don't ever forget it.

Just know when you tried this, yeah, it ain't even about that. No, honestly, though, I don't want people to forget. I don't want my, I don't, I don't believe you can delete your wholeness. I don't want to. I don't, I wouldn't, like, I would not want a clean slate today. Because you know why? This whole journey for me has been learning. Yes.

So if I'm judged for the way that I learned, then so be it. I don't need you guys to forget anything. I don't want you to quite frankly, keep bringing it up. Keep talking about it because there's so many people that are so curious about me in private. Right. But they don't have the balls to try it in public.

And that's fine. You're not for me. I don't need a guy that's gonna keep my record of wrongs. I thought that's what the Bible said. That's y'all's favorite little. don't I'm just saying I don't judge I'm not here don't keep no record or wrong no but I'm say look don't fault me for doing the best I could with the awareness I had so if a man doesn't understand that because you just said a few minutes ago yes a man can make that jump will he most likely probably not right but guess what who's

for me let me finish okay who's for me yes who god creator source universe whatever you want to call it who god designed for me none of that matters so i don't care about all these people yapping about what i'm not gonna get because if i wasn't gonna get it it wouldn't be on my heart if I wasn't gonna get it I would not have been I would not be experiencing the dark side of this coin and that's why The world will bear witness to true love And hey will become my footstool and they will have to see this woman. This is my this is my whole Mission statement, okay I'm gonna tell the truth become my footstool and they will have to see this woman. This is my whole mission statement. Okay.

I'm gonna tell the truth and steal everything I want. And they're gonna watch me. I don't have to play by your guys' rules. I do my way. You do things your way. And honestly, it varies hour to hour. I didn't know who I was gonna be when I came into this interview. Are you okay with the way it's played out thus far? Absolutely, I'm at peace with it.

There's nothing I could have done differently. I'm not- There's a lot you could have done differently. Stop saying that there's nothing you could have done differently. Stop it. This is the way I was meant to do it. I don't question fate. I don't question. I accept question fate. I don't question.

I accept my fate. I accept my destiny. So if that means that it takes me 10 years for my Mr. Wonderful to come, then that's fine. I'm patient. Nothing. You wouldn't change a thing about the way it's transpired. No. For what?

Because if, here's the thing about regret. If I regret things that happened, then that means I have to erase the awareness that I gained. And I would not trade this awareness. I would not trade going back to when I was 20, 18 years old. I would not trade a clean slate for the wisdom that I have. I have a well of wisdom. That's why when I speak, people are captivated. Why I've been called to so many different platforms.

Who's the last couple of guys you've had on here? why i've been called to so many different platforms who's the last couple guests you've had on here uh stephen a d wade tabitha brown um who else we had cj ocho cinco i saw chris brown we had ricky smiley okay what's what's one thing you think they all have in common they're great at what they do. Yes. So where do I fit in? I'm just supposed to be some Instagram thot but here I am talking to Shannon Sharpe! You gotta listen to me! So you great at what you do? I certainly am. Because there's a lot of beautiful women. There's a lot of beautiful women that have better bodies than me, prettier faces, whatever type of

features you think are attractive But then you have a little petite on me who just can't stop and shut up And here I am on club shake shake club shake shake Dion said well, I don't know and like I said, but it reported he said that there are women out there that do their homework on Guys, I mean because now the salaries, he said, that there are women out there that do their homework on guys. I mean, because now the salaries are in, you know, you can just Google. Yes, you can Google stuff, yeah. And you can just, oh, he makes this,

and he has the endorsement over there, and he does this and that. Especially with NILs now, too. Right. Huh? You know about that? Mm-hmm. It's a public record. Oh, it's a public record, huh?

Public knowledge. Because, yeah, because, I mean, these college athletes are getting money. Why are they driving Maybacs? That's an NIL, baby. Come on now. You're not dumb. Could you date a normal, could you date a guy that's not a professional athlete or that's not in athletics? I don't even see myself dating an athlete again.

Really? Why? Well, because something you said earlier. I don't know what I said earlier. I don't have a recall like you that can remember everything that happened in their life. Because there's a lot of men who are not willing to make that jump.

And when there are things that are public, a public figure has to take into account what is the risk versus reward with dating this girl and having her on my arm having her at the espies there's a lot of men that would not sign up for that and i feel the type of men that maybe there's a good chance it's like kind of opposite things it's like either someone's super young that's new and doesn't care or someone who's already established doesn't give a f**k and do what they want to do and i just either one it's just it's just kind of like i really don't see myself with another athlete i'm not going to say never you know never say never because i don't want the love of my life

to be a freaking athlete i gotta eat these words but i just don't see it i don't see a man having the courage to not only take a you know a risk with me because that's what love is what's the risk well in love it's a 50 50 risk it's it's every person across the board but i think that i am very vocal um but i also have not met any men that number one see my value and if they see it they don't understand it so that's why i don't really so in other words when a man can't look outside of what he sees right here well this is gonna fade so what else so what what what makes me different than the girl that the build of down the who's willing to do whatever and she lets you cheat in private or if i'm sorry and yeah

in private lets you cheat in private and do whatever like beauty is fleeting that's why there has to be more going on right that's why i open my mouth and I speak and I stand for something because this is again I'm always gonna be beautiful because I'm beautiful in here but yeah we all get older and I don't want to bank on my looks why would anybody want to do that but I think now if someone is hard for me to imagine a scenario and I do hope you find I think everybody deserves that if they're wanting of that and it seems to me as I sit here and talk to you that you were someone that's very passionate about finding love and I think the thing is is that that person knows who you are they know some of the

things that you've done so that person that wants to be with Brittany Renner they're gonna know who what what she's done and be okay with that do you think it's hard for that is it hard for an athlete because athletes are very private and they and I and don't take this the wrong way but they kind of like that's mine and to know that that package has been unwrapped by somebody else on multiple occasions, it doesn't sit well. I'm just, I'm gonna keep it one, you say keep it 100, I'm gonna keep it 100 with you. But then you have to go back

to when there was the Derek Jeter diamond. That's what my track record's like. But Derek Jeter gets a segment on ESPN where they have his dating history in the, let me finish though Because my dating pool is I mean my spastic Impressive expansive. I've had sex with 35 guys

Okay Whoo, oh lord okay whoo oh lord impressive is it the word so if I'm judged for having

anybody else need a shot of this if I'm judged for having great taste we are in the bar so help yourself we got this for the next hour whoo if I'm judged for having great taste We are in a bar, so help yourself. We got this for the next hour.

If I'm judged for having great taste, although someone like Derek Jeter, for example, who had his dating diamond. Why would you feel a need that you... You can be honest to yourself. I know how many men I slept with. That ain't for everybody else. But why did you feel that needs to be for public consumption? That's what... I mean, the crux of this.

That's what I, you mind if I sit to the edge of my seat? You don't gotta ask for permission, this is your. Why did you, why would you feel the need to share that information with the public? Some things are left best unsaid. That's what I hear. Probably the same reason that I wrote a book because I felt called to share there are some things that may be moving forward I would keep to myself but I mean I just told you I had sex with 35 guys it's an

updated number for people who have been following the number for years now so now I mean obviously guys slide in your DM trying to holler. Do you slide in guys' DM? Not anymore. You used to? Mm-hmm. Why? Probably... There were probably two or three guys over the span of being

like 22 to now. Right. Probably about three guys. Did they respond? Of course they did. Well, there are some that didn't respond, but that was- They left you on read? There are some guys left me on read, but it was like right after my breakup with my child's father and I was kind of getting facetious.

Yeah, that wasn't nice. You try to be, see you, see you. Why you do that? But anyways- Why you did, no, no, no, I ain't no anyways. I wanna know why, why would you do that? And I'm like, well sure, I'm ready to move on. No, but you-

No, honestly, I didn't understand the magnitude of what I was about to go through. And I'm like, oh, I'm single. He's moved on. Why is it different for both of us? You know what I'm saying? Yeah. We share a young child. So why is me having a young child or whatever?

But that whole situation being completely demonized, I had no idea what I was doing when I was trying to like here and there. Just like telling guys they were just fine. That was just kind of it. It wasn't like, yeah, we should, you know, whatever. It was just like, I've always wanted to tell you this. But you know, like basketball players are off limits, right?

NBA players, any NBA players off limits. Right. No, no, no, no, you can't do that. You try to do- The whole sport. The whole sport, can't do that you try the whole sport the whole NBA you got to go to Europe you gotta go to you better go learn Chinese buddy you know that's go man how does it you know what that's gonna do what do you mean cause a whole sport yes and And besides, you say you done with athletes anyway. I mean, trust me, I ain't losing any sleep over it.

Because, no, you gotta stay away from them. Because it's gonna be, because people assume, and this might not even be the case, you might sincerely love him, he might sincerely love you. But you know how it's gonna be portrayed Oh, she's trying to get back at it and he probably will take it as if you trying to get at me What I've had to take accountability for is that I had to shrink myself To fit into a world of his that I was never meant to fit in and you have to understand this goes back to the

Pattern of when I was at jackson state okay i abandoned everything left my whole life moved across the country you know back to or going back to michigan i lived in woodland hills had my condo had my bins left california moved to charlotte to be with him the same pattern 10 years later because because again, here I am thinking that a man is going to fix it. It's going to fix it. This is the missing piece to my puzzle. So despite what people think about the complete buffoonery that has gone on between him and I, that is never anything I wanted. I had to stand up for myself after months of being lied on that i was faking it all along and all these different this is such a popular topic years later because the lie ran around the world so did it hurt initially when the guy that i thought was my guy proposed to the next person

absolutely that's happened to me a couple times so. So it's one of those triggering things where full transparency, you're like, well, what's wrong with me? Why wasn't I enough? And then we start to internalize why it didn't work out. his fiance. We've had a four hour conversation out for brunch. And I think they're a perfect match for each other, quite frankly. So why would I be jealous or envious of a life that I walked away from? But the other side of that coin is understanding that was never my guy.

We were meant to have our incredible son together. He's literally changed my life in every way. I grew deeper empathy after having a son.

I get upset at how I'm treated. How you're portrayed.

You lied on me that's what bothers me is that you lied on me you try to make it seem like something it wasn't that was hurtful but other than that like i'm happy for you blessings on your journey i heard you just say that what he said about you bothered you the portrayal of you bothered you have you thought about when your son is of age and he can hear some of the things that you said about some of the things that you've done in your past do you do have you thought about how that's gonna impact him? Of course I've thought about it. But as much as I love my son, I love myself. I can't saturate myself for my child. I have to still be true to myself.

Because outside of being his mother, I'm Brittany Renner. I was Brittany Renner before he got here, and I'm gonna be Brittany Renner no matter what. My son could grow up and, oh, my mom, all these terrible things. She's the worst person ever. So I have to be at peace with the things that I've done and let my son make his own choice, his own decisions. But I'm not going to not live my life the way that, again, because to question how I am is to question God. the way that, again, because to question how I am, is to question God. And people may not like the way that,

like how my expression is, the way I carry myself, the things that I say and how I say it, but you're still questioning God. What has social media done to the relationship? Just in general? Yeah. I mean, I think there's just a lot of different factors, you know, where they're like,

oh, things were so different when our parents were growing up. Well, they were never aware of what options they really had. They didn't have access to people all the way across the country. And I think one of the annoying things is... Access isn't always good, though. Well, I think the question you have to ask yourself is if you gave the average person access who would they become we're seeing it there you go some people rise above some people you know play into it so let's just say for the sake of argument someone tried to get at you in the DM.

Later you find out they've been saying some crazy, you know, ah man, I wouldn't talk to that, you know what, and she all about this or here. But they've been at you in the DM. You screenshot any of those DMs and putting them out there for public consumption? Or you just said, okay, I'm just gonna bite this one. I know what you've tried to do.

I know you tried to get at me. You was trying to get these scans. I said no no and now you got this negative stuff to say about me I think there was one rapper that tried me and I Definitely screenshot where he tried to send me a DM because what you're not gonna do is lie What you're not gonna do is gonna sit up here and pretend But there haven't been any men that I've been involved with that you have gotten flipped the mouth other than my child's father That's the only person that's tried to lie to me and never addressed me by name.

But no, I don't people who have ever been involved with me. We know the truth. Right. And all my buttons work. So it would be in their best interest to keep my name out of their mouth because I'm giving them that same respect. I'm not over here sitting up here

blabbing, blabbing, blabbing about... There are certain things that it ain't up for discussion. But when we're talking about public things that have transpired, like with my child's father, it's been a hot topic since we've broken up. Right. We have to discuss it. I'm going to tell you the whole truth.

Can you... When are you guys going to make peace for the sake of your child? That's not up to me. I've done everything in my power. I've exhausted all options. I told you I've sat down with her before. Because, excuse me, I think that's a great thing to do because if they're going to be together, she's going to be in your son's life. And no matter what he might think of you, the relationship, the dynamic of who you are will never change.

You'll always be the mother of his child. Yeah. And honestly, for me, I would much rather my son have a stable woman over there instead of him having a bunch of girls in and out. So she has never been my enemy. It's him. But what it's going to take is for him to accept what is. We're still going through the court system now for child support custody stuff so it's nasty right it's just nasty i i have tried everything there's nothing more i can do um you don't mind me asking if it's too personal say that's none of your business and i'm quite right i told you i'm an open book shannon you have the child the child is with you we have so we live in a fair state north carolina is a fair state so we both have joint custody right so it's not with you we have so we live in a fair state North Carolina is a fair state

So we both have joint custody, right? So it's not like you could just break you live in, California You can just bring the child with you. Well, I would never do that. I grew up without my dad I would never want my son to be without his father. He needs his dad. He has PJ's name Paul Jermaine Washington the third, right? Why would I want to take that away, right? See, that's another misconception people have about me That I'm just super spiteful And that I would take our son and that he doesn't see him No

Just another lie So When this The aesthetics of this What is Brittany going to do? What does Brittany want to do? Because like you said, you're not going to always have this figure You're not going to always have this face

You're not going to always be I don't know, you're 31 gonna always have this figure. You're not gonna always have this face. You're not gonna always be, I don't know, you're 31, 32 years of age. You're not gonna always be this. Then what? The easiest way to maybe answer that is use my voice. I've been called to so many different platforms yours basketball wives and there is one commonality which is the usage of my voice and sharing the

well of wisdom that I've acquired so I can only hope that my future looks like my own show my own podcast mom's something right because I know that I'm meant to be heard how hard is is it easy to make money on the internet I would say that companies have smartened up a lot so they're not as naive with the brand deals I think it's gotten a lot more competitive because there are people who will accept free clothes from a clothing company who have hundreds of thousands of followers so it still it hurts the the influencer who has the millions who are wanting compensation when there's a hundred

girls they can just get free clothes too so it's gotten a lot more competitive more oversaturated yeah you have to really i don't even know you have to really be i feel like kind of buzzing to have brand deals what is uh obviously you you you you very very popular on the internet and as you mentioned you're a major influencer what's one of the things that you purchased that you wish you had like i didn't really need that i could have done without that i could have kept that fifty thousand hundred thousand two hundred i could have kept that $50,000, $100,000, $200,000. I could have kept that in my pocket and just like, because I really didn't need this. I'm not really a big spender in that way. I think the most foolish thing at one time that I did was just spending like $8,000 on shoes.

Like one day I just went and got all these shoes. And when I look at that now. Heels or sneakers? Because you don't strike me as a sneaker chick. I was, I don't know. I don't mean to say that. I don't mean that to be disrespectful. No, I did buy some sneakers, which I was not.

I was still figuring myself out. But it was some heels and some sneakers. Right. It was just a waste of money. I wouldn't do that now. You want to do the fitness thing. Like you want to do leggings or workout clothes. Is that kind of the direction you're trying to head in now?

Well, I love athletic wear. That's really what I wear all the time I do have an asymmetrical legging that was inspired by flojo Yes, so I have it's the one leg and the short on the side rebel by Brittany Renner But that still is something that's very new my business. You know I started it was last October right so yeah I would I think ideally definitely designing some athletic wear would be cool What's been the coolest thing about motherhood? Let's see. And is it what you thought it would be?

It's much different than I thought it would be. I don't know. In what way? Them videos and pictures! And, well it's one of the ways it's different? Well, I would say when I first had my baby, I think there's this idea that the baby just comes out like loving you. You are the greatest thing.

Unconditional love pouring into you. And I learned that although with breastfeeding, there is that exchange, the connection still pouring in still showing up when my son comes and hands me a book no matter what is on no matter what we're doing i'm stopping and i'm reading the book because i care about building the bond so i think people underestimate the effort that still requires that still goes into your baby just because they're your kid doesn't mean that they're just gonna love you I would say my favorite thing though is watching him just navigate the world. I think he is very curious. Um

When he sees a plane in the sky, he sees the butterfly we have bird feeders. I love feeding the birds So just seeing him interact with the world around him and what he likes to talk about. I it's really cool to me Yeah, like what he's into. I mean, you talking about, we got bird trees. You trying to be a stepper, why? You trying to be like moving to the suburbs? But I try to tell you that the more that meets the eye. So I love birds and I think my favorite thing about birds

are that they can go anywhere in the world. So if they visit your backyard, that's very sacred. And I love that no matter what time in the day, in the morning, if it's four o'clock, it doesn't matter if it sounds off pitch, if it's too early, they have a song. So that's why I really love birds and it's an honor to feed them.

People wouldn't know that about me. How difficult has it been, or is it dating as a single mom? I think one of my complaints is that I've attracted more men without kids as a mom and I'm just like oh god is it a deal-breaker if I don't want to have any more right you know I love my baby you don't want any more kids I had a really tough time. I gained 50 pounds. And I'd been in the gym for the last... Where?

My boobs, my a**, my stomach, like stretch marks. It was a lot. The abdominal separation. I would say I'm just now starting to feel comfortable in crocs. Like actually showing my whole stomach or a bikini and obviously i have no nothing done to my body i'm natural but it was very hard on me and i just even if we were to get married like why do we why are you going to deny him he want his lineage he wanted his one his seat he want a namesake I'm not

saying it's gonna be Darryl Williams the third of Darryl Williams jr. but he's gonna want his what if he wants his namesake would you deny him back I think that's something I'm navigating I'm not gonna say if I met my mr. wonderful I wouldn't want to give him a child, but. What if you wanted more than one? You know, what's really difficult is because I'm 31. Yeah. I have a baby. Yeah. I have. You good until you're 50. I mean, women not in today's time, they having babies all the way pity no but maybe I believe this may be my own belief that's hindering me so I'm not saying that this couldn't just be my own belief but this is my prime time this is my you need to make your

next move your best move right there are no hiccups that's just kind of how more so I'm moving with so you dating with a purpose now ain't no more just dating today I'm dating to get married you ain't trying to do that get them we'll get to step it yes get this step and I think a lot of I've seen a lot of people say well now all of a sudden you want to do that and it's just okay well I told you I don'd hit my head on the down the steps a bunch of times I ain't falling no more and it listen and the thing is just I'm a logical person ain't working right you know so and having a deeper understanding of myself and

really understanding my value and craving more than just, okay, I just want someone. I just want someone who is this type of status. I just want someone on my arm who look, you know, really craving that substance and meaning even more than I always have. It's just like, I'm not so much shallow dating anymore. I don't think you're just shallow dating,

but it just hard for me to, as I sit here and look across at you, I just don't see you with just shallow dating, but it's just hard for me to as I sit here and look across at you I just don't see you with a nine-to-five guy Okay, I mean and you know and you know who and you know What's attracted to you see the moth? He already knows what's gonna happen to the plane, but he can't help it. The attraction is too great He's going to that plane even though he knows how it's going to happen to the flame, but he can't help it. The attraction is too great. He's going to that flame even though he knows how it's going to end. You can't help what you're attracted to, Britt.

There has to be some accountability. There has to be accountability where it's like you can like certain things, but are we compatible? Yes or no? Because if you're not going to, the only flex is devotion. So just like you said, you're, you made the comment about athletes. Yeah. I can be as open-minded as I want to be across the board, whether it's nine to five or dating, which man is going to be devoted to me. And there is a greater percentage that an athlete is going to be unfaithful to me. So that's why for me, I have to take the blinders off.

I'm not saying he can't still be, you know, high stepping in his own right. But... Britt, what you are attracted to, you can't help it. You've been there. I'm not saying just basketball player I'm saying baseball I'm saying football it might be soccer it might be something but that's what you are attracted to and you cannot help it you can fight it but you cannot deny it okay I hear you loud and clear a lot of the regular guys that I've attracted still

have an athletic background I ain't talking about high school I ain't talking about college you know what I'm talking about I'm talking about guys who have played in college they still have an athletic background so it's like a matter of I'm talking about pro, professional MLB NFL NBA MLS the pre be our NASCAR stop it Brit we grown up in here you know what you attracted to they know what I'm gonna I cannot lie I've had a very magical time with a trainer in Austin Texas and we had a great time held hands got tacos and it was one of the most fun moments that I have well I was flirting with someone on Twitter publicly and it changed things why would you do it bread what he was trying to be you ruined No, he wasn't my guy anyway.

But I don't. No, he was trying to be your guy. You ruined it. You said you want true love. But, okay, hold on. You self-sabotaging. I don't do that. I was in therapy for six years.

No self-sabotage, no sense. You had a guy. He's holding your hand. He's taking you to get tacos. You getting a lemon drop. You getting margaritas, and then you flirting publicly. Is that not self-sabotage? It's not self-sabotage. This was, what was the timeline?

It was about a year after I split with my child's father. I was like, you know what? I've never just dated. So how I would do was I'm going to talk to one guy at a time. Aside from that video where I told you all the different guys. Them all just recycle. But anyways, I to talk to one guy at a time. Aside from that video where I told you I was in there for guys. Them all just recycle. But anyways, I would talk to one guy at a time. Okay.

And it wasn't effective. It didn't work. So I was like, okay, I'm pouring all my eggs into one person at a time, not getting my desired outcome. That's what you're supposed to do. What? One basket at a time. Okay. From one perspective, but when you are talking about modern dating, most men are not dating one woman at a time. So where does that-

That ain't got nothing to do with you. Well, it's my. If there's a potential- But you said, but you said you believe in true love. So what somebody else is doing, you said that guy was taking you to get tacos. So was he dating more than one? He's going to see this and be like,

that's why I'm talking about tacos. Was he dating? Forget what else they're doing. I'm talking about him specifically. Was he dating more than one? Yes. Okay, well, you did what you did. I mean, what am I supposed to do?

It's like I'm being faithful to an idea, and he doing it like he wants to do and that's why you're taking You know, you're taking your time. So that's why that's why you was flirting Yeah, this was a person that I've always loved and I cared about and I just was like From my understanding. I thought I was dating wrong. I'm like, why am I just talking to one guy at a time? Clearly there are women out here who are going on dates not having sex with all the guys They're dating going on different dates trying different women out here who are going on dates and not having sex with all the guys they're dating. Right. Going on different dates, trying different things out, going to dinner, going wherever.

I'm not doing something right. So that's when I was like, you know what? Let me try something new and I don't have to have sex with all the guys I'm speaking with. Like I can go on dates and go get tacos. That didn't, there are different rules when you're in the limelight you know what i mean and i know after that i'm like well damn like i would have felt some type of way if he would did that to me right so that's when i took from that situation of okay i tried the multiple guy thing didn't work for me

not gonna listen la la la la la to what modern dating is about in in on tick tocks or podcast. I'm not listening to that if I'm talking to a guy it's gonna be him and That vetting process is very short-lived most of time because they are not the guys. I just what's your number one turnoff? Well, um I'd say inconsistency because Because lying is like, that's so typical. That's obviously number one. So you want to do the call, you want to do it to call you every day, a couple times a day, check in, hey, Brett, how you doing?

It doesn't have to be a couple times, but I would like to. At least once a day? Yeah, like, I mean, send me a morning text, and then like let's recap maybe later in the day. I would prefer to talk on the phone. I'm not, I feel like younger people love like FaceTiming and stuff, but I like just, I have my headphones in, we can to talk on the phone i'm not i feel like younger people love like facetime and stuff but i like just i have my headphones in we can just talk on the phone or put your on speaker while i'm doing my makeup or something but yeah um it's just kind of like limited to text

messaging that's just my been my experience right yeah like there's not a lot of like old soul wake up with football every morning and listen to my new podcast, NFL Daily with Greg Rosenthal.

Some of my friends to the left here, you know, they have been a bit more successful with holding out, but I'm just like, well, you're not going to respect me anymore. You either respect me or you don't. I'm either someone that you can see yourself with or not. It's not going to take three months for you to be like, I wonder if she could be my girl. Like, you already know when you're speaking with me, like, she's a hookup, she's a wife. Or everything else in between. Like, wife, everything else in between like wife everything else in between so can you cook oh please let me well actually does not want doesn't apply to me because I don't

Oh, look, I just asked, I mean, the dude, he gonna walk up home and let's just say he's 95. I can follow instructions. Huh? I can follow instructions. No, I honestly, I believe cooking is beneath me. Huh?

Mm-hmm. I don't belong in the kitchen. Oh, mercy. You're making it difficult. I'm really trying to help you here. I mean, you know, millions of people are gonna see this and I'm really trying to help you. Oh, they're gonna drag me. I love it. I'm really trying to help you here. I mean, you know, millions of people are going to see this, and I'm really trying to help you. Oh, they're going to drag me. I love it.

I'm into that. Would you let your friends set you up on a blind date? I would. I did. I've gone on a blind date recently. How was it? We went zip lining. It was fun.

It was fun. You're adventurous, huh? Yes, but I feel like I have to work a lot. I'm in a very masculine role in my household, so I don't feel like I have a lot of time to have fun and go out and do stuff like that. But, yeah, I did go zipline. It was fun. He was 23. He was like, you're telling me everything I want to hear and not what I need to hear. And although he was very open about the kid stuff and like, oh, I don't care about that,

but this is what I want, I stuff and like oh I don't care about that but you know this is what I want I'm just like I don't it's very hard to imagine a younger man having the courage being understanding seeing my value so it's just hard to see that I've been open but do you want the man to do okay Brittany I'm picking you up and I'm picking you up at, I'm picking you up at 7.30, 8 o'clock. We're going here. You want him to plan the date, or are you going to plan or help plan? Yeah, women don't like questions.

Don't ask me if I want to go to dinner. Tell me, you know, like, hey, this is what's going on. Well, can they ask, Brittany, what's your favorite food? What do you like? That's fine, but plan it. Yeah, I don't, I have no desire to be a man in a relationship with a man. What happened to 50-50?

Who said that? All the way. That's what Dwayne said on the last time. Yeah, 50-50. 50-50. That's getting friends, platonic. 50-50. I mean Dutch

well There was a guy that I went on a date with oh And what happened we um we went out on a little date. We went bowling And when we got there, oh, please don't be mad at me. Can you bowl? I mean what you know? Yeah I mean, I don't have long nails. Okay. I'm a very this is very classic short ball like this. So you put Three fingers in well wouldn't you like to know? I'm just trying to ask a question And I we go, okay This is so good. It is!

I usually don't like dark, but maybe I gotta try it. Maybe I have to, you know, maybe I have to have you in the bathroom. I would've loved that. So, back to Brock Jacob. We get to the date, he pays for our bowling, I'm like, okay, cool. And he gets there and he's like,

honestly, I shouldn't be here right now. And he kind of alluded to his sister giving him money for the date. And so I paid for like our drinks and- What? Yeah. And he said that? He said that he, oh God.

I can't lie, it's like a curse but a blessing. But yeah, so anyways, he was like, yeah, I can't really afford it, this is what happened. I was playing overseas, I I got robbed all these different things And I was like, you know what? It doesn't even matter because all I got is true love Hey for our drinks and you told him to skedaddle Scoot. No, let me tell you why I tell him to skedaddle. So we're leaving and The parking was like 35 he have no money to bail.

Yeah, he gots to go. So I paid for our parking, $35 each. And mind you, whatever, I was like, let me just give him a little kiss. So we made out. No passion there. I already kind of knew this was a no. So we were in the parking lot. You didn't put your tongue in his mouth, did you?

Of course I did. First of all, the dude show up broke. You got to pay for the drink. You got to pay for the better. Shannon, I still had to give him my all. I had to see. No, he got something. Okay, I put my tongue down his throat.

Did you have on lipstick? I gave him a napkin. And you go take that with you. That's all he got. That's all he brought to the table. It's just a little charity. Okay, anyway, so we were in there for about, you know, we're talking and whatever. He's like, no, let's continue the date.

I'm like, no, I'm good. So we're going through the parking. Going through the parking meter. Yeah. And it was like an additional $10. What? Yeah, because it was like, I don't know know I don't know how long we were there we were making out that damn line so whatever I paid the ten dollars yeah I

go through under the parking meter and I hear oh he tried to race through the toy which slows down on it. Oh It's like oh my god, cuz I was like someone's about to hit my car So we didn't have to pay for the parking and I was like, I'm never calling him again This is exactly why people are like you can't date a regular guy. You're right. Can I try and mr. Oh You know I made a record and I go, you're right! Because I tried. And Mr., you know, he was cute. But yeah, when he raced through that part. Yeah, you can't be cute and broke though. Yeah, I was like, all you can offer me is some hard dicking bubble gum, babe.

And I was just like, that ain't gonna work. I thought, but yeah, that was the first time I shared that story publicly, very embarrassing. Ooh wee. And I just got stood up recently too i'm like oh god well hold on did your friend about you got stood up by a blind date or this was something that no it was it was it was yeah it didn't work what happened he told me the reason he couldn't go to the date was because his friend's grandma died and that his friend wanted him to come console him.

Dude's doing that? Well... And you believed it? I know you didn't believe it, Britt. I blocked him. But yeah. So I have really, really funny stories. You? What is it with you and these guys? You've bet you been meeting some some real so does clowns yeah yeah I do but do you get guys that try to impress you that come out like oh they like big ball over they show up with somebody else a rental car a Bentley or rolls or the homeboy will I mean that's not really that impressive just because it's, I guess it's just been

so familiarized for me. Like, you know, that's not really that new. Right. But, no, I mean, I did have a good date a couple months ago. I mean, the whole shebang, dinner, and went out and stuff. It was a good time.

But he's a dud. What is it? It's just like, it was a good time. But he's a dud. What is it? It's just like, I guess the energy, okay, this is actually a really important distinction we have to make because there's high value men. Yes. But high value does not mean high quality because- Or high moral talk.

Yes, because Mufasa, high value, high quality because yes because Mufasa high value high quality scar high value low quality yeah so that's where for me them a lot of scars huh I wouldn't even say they had you know high value because almost broke the freaking parking meter skating behind me you know so I, I have just been very open-minded. Why didn't you just get up the moment he said that my sister is basically paying for this part of the date that would, that should have been your key to exit stage left.

Well, I- Because how long, so how long did it take to put this date together? Was it like quickly? Was it like two weeks? Was it like three weeks? Because he could have said. Yeah, I met him at a party.

And, you know, he found me on Instagram. And I already kind of felt like it was a red flag because I like in-person encounters. So when you saw me in person, you should have asked. You didn't say anything. Well, no, he introduced himself, but he didn't get my number. Right, okay. So there's like certain things that I'm just kind of more old-fashioned about. So why would you go the digital route when you have

me right in front of you and you could have made more lasting impression that was like my first already like yeah kind of weird but um how long did it take what what was the question again yeah how long did it take you like like I said I'm saying to sit this date up oh yeah it was maybe like a few days I mean it was pretty quick but I told myself myself that, well, Brittany, if it's not about the money. Yeah, but no, no, no, no, no, no. I just wanted to try. Again, I like to try the buffet of life.

Brittany, Brittany, Brittany. Having enough money for a common date, I'm not saying the guy got to be worth 30 mil. But a dude got to be able to have enough money for a common date. Now, come on now. I don't think any woman is asking. Now, I'm not saying we can go to Mastro's or we can go to Catcher or someplace like that, but to go bowling and to pay for parking, I don't think that's a stretch. I don't think that's asking too much.

No, it's not. But that's where, because what I don't want people to take away from this is that I'm blaming men. Because what I do, any experience I have, and it's unfavorable, I don't like it. I go inward and figure out what part of me, what part of my belief system aligns with skating through the parking meter. What part of me aligns to someone who would ghost me on a date? So I go back inward and do the work to understand so I no longer have these below average experiences with men.

So it's still a reflection of parts of me that needs to be addressed. So yeah, I'm still learning. The dating stuff is very challenging to navigate, especially having such a heavy presence online. Right. Good, bad, or indifferent. It's very difficult because a lot of guys will look at you as trophy b****. Other guys will look at you as just like a good time.

A hundred million or a hundred dollars. You know, it's hard because I do, social media is my life, has been my life, and especially with beyond basketball lives now I'm very curious to see who comes out of the woodwork and what's really genuine I still have to filter through all these things that the average person has to but now you're adding all these factors that What a billion-dollar question, why do you think it's so hard? Why do you think relationships are so hard for either one? I don't want to say men are more faithful or I mean one more unfaithful women are more unfaithful but why do you think it's so hard to remain faithful in

a relationship I remain faithful yeah I don't think it's hard I think it's a lifestyle choice just like a lot of people are like if he wants to he will just like you know if you know you actually went to the gym like you said you would on January 1st yeah If you wanted to, you would. It's just a lifestyle choice. And I don't know what it's like to be a man. I would love to be a man for a day and see these biological things that are making me want to just stick my dick in everything. I would love to see if that stands true.

But I really think it's aligning with someone who has the same beliefs as you. I don't understand how people are unfaithful because the only thing that can quench lust is love. So how, why people are out moving around and having casual sex with people is really beyond me, especially when you have someone who gives a damn about you. I would never understand that.

I told you, first and last time I cheated was when I was 16 years old. I can't relate. I think loyalty is actually the easiest part, you know people find that very hard to believe because the the number of men that you said you slept with yeah, and and and and I Guess just they look at you and who you are to my man. She full of it But I mean, I have no reason to believe that you're lying to me But I'm saying you can understand that people look at you I mean you know perception is is people's truth although

it's not reality a person's perception is their reality you agree right no why would I agree that perception is reality no perception is very out of some people's reality yes yes yes no I that's fine'm not... To think that I would be... Give it down to what people think. No, because that's a typical answer. Telling the truth is way more wild than lying. And for me to lie to you, that means I have to fear you. I don't fear anything.

Right. When it comes to death, whatever, today is as good a day as ever. Wow. So why would I lie? I don't live my life like that. Would you ever date publicly again? Of course. I don't know what that, what the vetting process looks like.

I don't know what that guy is like. I don't know. That's why it's like I can sit here and say I never date an athlete. I'll never do this. I'll never do that. You're going to date an athlete. No, it's not even that. The next guy you date is going to be an athlete.

Why would you wish that on me? I ain't wishing because that's what you can't you the moth he's the flame you know you can't help it okay he's the moth you're the flame it doesn't matter it does it does that I'm shining by myself that moth is every time but I wouldn't do that yeah you would yeah you said i know how it feels to be desired by men but not valued by one no longer am i drinking it away eating it away sleeping it away effing it away i'm sitting in my own ish when you said i know what it's like to be desired, but not to be valued. They want this, but they don't value that.

They don't value what's outside of the vagina. That's what they don't value. They don't care because they don't see me in a wife category. It's wife, everything else. That's not my responsibility to try to control how I'm perceived or how people see me because at the end of the day, I could paint you a pretty picture, but what's the reality?

Who am I behind closed doors? There are plenty of girls that were getting slutted out when they were at Kentucky, you know, sucking all types of on the steps. I know that because I've been told stories, but it's like, that's just not public. But that's more considered more of a wife because it's not public.

So I don't know, I just feel, you gotta find someone's truth that you accept. You just, are you willing to sign a prenup? Absolutely. What you won't do do for love okay absolutely was not afraid of baby whatever whatever they make you feel better I'm ready my husband not my cousin did you date Kevin Samuel yeah yeah which is cool yeah we're. We just did content together.

I did an interview, but you know. God bless the Godfather. He made some, rest his soul, he made some good points though. I had a great time. He was somebody that when I would have conversations with him, it was really hard to talk to him sometimes. Even the last conversation we had,

it was like a little jagged pill. God, when did you write that book? 2018, October 2018. 2018, so. Because at the time they said you slept with 24 men, 11 athletes, five entertainers, eight regular guys. Now you're up to 35. I keep a list in my phone. Why is that a lot? It was a whistle. No. I mean you said athletes don't use condom but so ten got was it so you nine guys no 11 11 guys in five years yeah I mean is there is there is there is there another you trying to get half a hundred I mean you would you go up for how are

you gonna ask me if I'm trying to get half a hundred when I've been sitting here talking to you for almost two goddamn hours You don't got so you don't know so 36 so 36 and that's it Or are you looking to go back to the would you be willing to go back and get one of those 36 and make it? 35 don't add a buddy. Hey, don't add a buddy. Okay, let you try to add a buddy. So 36 will don't worry about listen listen 30 With any of those guys that you previously have slept with Would you be willing to would you? husband them

Hmm. I've given some second chances and it just reiterates why I don't give second chances. I don't don't think that I I don't believe that I have I don't think that I've, I don't believe that I have a, met my guy. You don't believe you've met him? I thought I did. Couple times, man. Are you willing to date outside your race? I can't do paint meet, child.

That shit scarred me. Eh, this is gonna sound kinda fucked up, but I just don't see myself respecting anyone that's not black. Why? The man who's supposed to lead me is black. I know that. Leading is the easy part. Following is what's hard. The man that is meant to cherish me and love me and be there for me and that was designed for me

energetically at this moment again it could change and everything ever black let's talk about okay basketball wives you're on another another season of that well this is my first season is your first season it's my first time I don't get to say that off granny I'm sorry this is not the life I really chose for myself, but hey, here we are, Granny. I did it. What about basketball wives? Basketball wives season 11. Yes.

What can we expect? F*** it. Shut up. It was the most... Oh, come on. Choose the adjective wisely. What's a positive one? It was an experience. Right experience that I will never forget.

You like it? Like. Like. Season 12, you down? A lot of things have to change for me, but I'm keeping an open mind. A lot of things have to change, but I'm keeping an open mind. You do realize that any time someone see you with someone publicly, they automatically jump to the conclusion.

You know that, right? So like me and you then? I'd do an interview. Like Shaq. What about it? I'm saying people saw you eyes she was chat or if I can assure you if someone would have said we let's just say we out of some restaurant me you you and I what you think even if we talk to this even even if we just having a conversation you're somewhere I'm with my boys up and up they see man, Shannon, you know it's going to be a thing.

So you know what comes along with Brittany Renner. You know that anybody that you talk to, there's going to be accusation, innuendos, conjecture about what's happening. Okay. You don't, I mean, you okay with that? I mean, people are entitled to their opinions. If I want to go out for dinner, I'm going to go out for the... I'm just saying, but don't you want to just like be able to go somewhere and people not automatically assume? Hell no. I wouldn't trade this life for nothing.

Because I get to skip the line figuratively and literally so you have to accept The good with the bad you can't say it ahead. I want all these brand deals. I'm gonna be famous I want to be on TV, but don't take a picture of me when I'm leaving don't take a picture me if I'm out eating grow up It's hot up under these lights Okay, not everybody can handle it. But for me, I mean I love I love being in front of a camera I love I really had a front of a camera I love I really had a great time filming for basketball wives it just felt so

natural but this is just a part of me this is what I like to do so I'm built for it I don't I don't look at that as whatever they're allowed to think what they want people are already gonna assume that I mean I don't really believe in like male-female friendships anyways I'm not a man can't be a friend can't have a girl ain't y'all be so I'm just saying I personally do not have male friends the only male friend that I have his name is Jerry and he's a family friend of ours like his baby mama is my mom's baby daddy's sister like it's family I mean so right that's the only male friend that i have right that's family i know i don't male friend or male friends replacement

no i just think that there's always uh for me my experience there's just always that lingering undertone yeah and then that's how everything starts is friendship so it's like it ain't much to just do a hop skip and a jump and then now you don't sell in the pussy like Yeah, I don't have no friends I'm good so But the person that's never seen Brittany Renner God heard Brittany Renner story person sitting right down here for the very first time in One minute explain him as best as you can.

Explain to them, male or female. About myself? About Brittany Renner. It's a lot shorter than a minute. Give me 30 seconds then. I am extremely unpredictable. Every minute, every second, every hour, I wake up, sometimes I change my wig.

I wanna be somebody different. You don't know what you're going to get with me. I'm like a box of chocolates. You don't know what you're going to get, right? That's how I am. What if people don't like chocolates? Can I get a bill of something? Can I get something else?

Well then nobody motherfucking asked if you like chocolates. Stop making it so goddamn personalized to your. No, I'm just saying. You got chocolate? No, I'm just saying. I'm talking to, I'm not talking to you. I'm talking to this guy. Okay.

Whatever his name is. Or her. Raekwon. They. Because you know the pronouns. Anyways, I'm just very unpredictable. Sometimes I don't even know what I'm going to do. Right. I follow my heart.

That is what I stand by. And I believe that I'm going to tell the truth and get all the things that my heart desires. And the world is going to have to bear witness and eat their words is that is that what it's about because if because so many people are saying she's never going to find someone to marry her with her track record with her background you really want is that is that i mean because i mean honestly as I sit here and, you know, we've had a great conversation, but I do believe that as we sit here, you truly want to find love. But true love or to say, I had. No, because that's just childish. For me, it's the real thing or nothing at all.

It's not what looks good on paper. It's not because we take pretty pictures together. It's the real thing or nothing at all. The only flex is devotion. I don't care what you have me up in. You got all your bitches on the side. The only flex is devotion. What do I look like being on the arm of a man who is still entertaining bitches

when you are supposed to be my husband? Well, he already heard you say you done a threesome, so it ain't a far stretch to say you cool with it. That's fine. He's allowed to think whatever he wants, but where I'm at today- And where you were then. And where I was then, I haven't munched on a-

Jesus. ZJ, I'm sorry, man. You have to have the beep button going. Listen, hey, I ain't munched on a s*** since 2015. So if you think you're getting a threesome out of me in 2023, king of wishful thinking. You know, that's fine. But I really cannot control what people are going to think

and what they think they're going to do and how they think they're going to treat me. I can only stand in my power and show you what it is because I can show you rather than tell you. So, yeah, I'm not here to just sway all these people and please understand me please get me if you don't get it you ain't meant to move along thank you for coming on club Shay Shay and as you said living in your ish, sharing your story, continued success, Brittany Nicole.
