Maybe. Bam, the he-ha-ha, did it? It's time for donkey at the day. I'm ain't trying to be donkey today no more. They should be embarrassed by what they already did. I'm not making these people do these things. Call Donkey of the Day. and it really caught me off guard.

Damn, Solomon, who got the donkey of the day today? Well, just hilarious. Donkey today for Wednesday, August 27th. We make sure it's the 27th. Yes, it's the 27th. Goes to Robert Moni and his fiancé, Melissa, how you say? Guerrera. Guerrera.

But I'm conflicted if both of them should get it. I'll explain. Now, who is Robert Monet? Here's a man who shot his fiancee in the face at Olive Garden. Okay? Let me explain something to you. When a person you love is displaying signs of mental illness believed him.

Okay, we don't have enough conversations about the people who have to deal with people who deal with mental illness. Melissa is one of those people. We always talk about the person who was mentally ill, but what about the people who loved them? See, Melissa got shot in the face, but she doesn't believe her fiancé

intentionally shot her in the face. He was actually in court saying she still loves him, and I'm sure she does. Now, Robert's lawyer said it was an accident. Well, what happened exactly? Well, Robert and Melissa were out to eat at Olive Garden, okay, enjoying those unlimited breakfasts, sticks. They plan to go shopping for an upcoming trip to Texas, but Robert was also scheduled

to have a mental evaluation at my Michigan Medical Center. Okay, Melissa said that before the shooting, Robert had been acting dazed for about five days. So Melissa asked him to get mentally evaluated. Good for Melissa, man. Round of applause for Melissa, man. Okay, I got a lot of friends who are women who say they don't want to date any man who hasn't done any, you know, type of work on himself. So she suspected he needed a mental evaluation. It's good that she said something and great that he agreed to get one. Well, according to Melissa's testimony, they sat in the Isle of Garden, okay, enjoying those unlimited breadsticks, as I said, okay,

when Robert suspected that Melissa's ex-husband, who was previously in prison for assault, was in the parking lot and was planning to hurt him. So Robert dialed 911 and was ready to hit sin in anticipation that he would need a police response. He knew he was about to act up. Now, Melissa said her ex-husband and Robert, got along fine. She also said prior to the shooting, her and Robert weren't arguing.

She also doesn't even remember Robert shooting her. In fact, she said she didn't even know Robert had a gun. Well, what makes this even scarier is after Robert shot her, he kept saying, this stupid bitch deserves to die over and over and over. That's what witnesses said. He kept saying it over and over. And then he also pistol whipped his fiancee as well.

Now, when police came and tried to subdue Robert, he kept yelling his name with Satan. and they had to tase him six times. He shot his fiancé, pistol whipped her, bought the cops in Olive Garden. Okay, they tased him six times, but he's still alive. Guess what race he is? Now, his defense is arguing.

It was all an accident, and Robert was dazed, and his fiancee still believes he's not capable of harming her. Let me tell you something. As long as he's dealing with whatever mental illness he's dealing with, sorry, boo, he's capable of hurting you. Okay, you, Melissa, know this man is dealing with mental health issues, so no matter how much you love him, you got to run for your life. Okay, you tried to help him. He hurt you before he could get the help.

By the grace of God, you are still alive, you are still here. Not to mention, when would y'all be together? He's facing life in prison. He rejected a plea deal that would have assured him 13 to 30 years. Now he's facing life. So once again, when would y'all ever be together? Look, I understand love is blind. but it doesn't have to be deaf and dumb to

okay so robert is clearly dealing with mental health issues that's been established and melissa clearly loves robert that has been established even after being shot she's in court saying how much she still loves him but you still got to know when to walk away don't you Melissa i commend you for all you have attempted to do for robert but please people always remember don't hurt yourself trying to help someone else because you can easily

and I mean easily cut yourself on another person's broken pieces please give Robert Monet and his fiancé Melissa Guerrara the biggest he her

Scoretta Damn you're giving it to both You think that you get both He's not even in his right mind Because he's mentally ill That's what I'm saying He ain't in his right mind Yeah obviously

But then She still loves him And is making excuses for him Even after the fact she love him yo and she obviously he needs an exorcist and some other things but like you need a therapist and an exorcist

absolutely and some medication yeah so I guess the question we can open up the phone lines is is when do you leave when is it over like this should have been over yeah man but 800585 5151 and it even comes from the earlier interview with Tiana Taylor

when she was talking about Amman Shumpin and she tried to make it work and you know she felt like she was disrespected and she let so many things go She talks about it so much on that, man. We have a clip of it. People get tired, especially when, like, others are banking on your heart. When they know your heart and they know the things that they're going to keep poking at that.

You know what I'm saying? And sometimes you bite the bait, and it is what it is. You know what I'm saying is dealing with it? It's very tough. And that's why I try my best to, you know, just be as cordial as possible. Like, I don't be wanting no smoke. You know what I'm saying? These kids come first.

has been a main reason why I've wanted to keep everything private, no matter how ugly or how sweet, keep it, keep it private. You know what I'm saying? So my job is to protect them no matter what. And I think that's where, like, I keep just trying to hold on and hold it down. But you can't cut yourself on another person's broken pieces trying to fix them. Correct. So that is the question. 800-58-105-1.

I think we're not saying, you know, don't give somebody a chance or don't give somebody a chance or don't give somebody grace, but it's like, when do you get to the point where it's like, they take kindness for weakness and it's too much. Yeah, no more grace. When you say no more grace, you know, think of yourself. But people have to change. They have to work on himself. Yeah, because you can't fight by yourself. Correct. Because you end up hurt. Look at Melissa.

Melissa got shot. You know what I mean? Knowing her man needed some type of mental evaluation, seeing that this man was going through something, but she still was trying to stick it out and still loves him right now. Because she know he's not in his right mind. So let's open up the phone lines, 800-585-105-1 because we always say, well, what's the best

Apology, right? That's change behavior. Yeah. So let's talk about it. What about it when you It's kind of hard to change your behavior because you actually need help. You need medication. Right. You need medical help to change your behavior. Right. So let's talk about it. 800-585-105-1. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Pull out your phone.
