We have become immune, so very immune to dehumanizing and degrading language, images, and behaviors. However, I suppose it’s not degrading if it’s entertaining.K. Michelle, a TV personality and aspiring singer, hits men where it hurts: sexual orientation. On VH1’s hit reality-soap opera Love and Hip Hop Atlanta, K. Michelle walks the line between heroine and villain. A self-proclaimed battered woman, K. Michelle wages warfare on anyone that rubs her the wrong way in an effort to ‘keep it real’. Her choice of weapon for men is questioning, no, stating that they are gay. K. Michelle can be seen calling any man she verbally spares with gay Monday 8 p.m. eastern standard time.
Twitter loves the slander. The majority of the people I follow on Twitter and other forms of social media are Black gay men like myself. A vast majority of them find it comical that K. Michelle uses their sexual orientation as an insult. Would we accept a White woman calling a White man in an argument Nigga? I predict we would if it were for entertainment; I’m not proud of my prediction.
Coming from a generation were we have widely accepted the term ‘nigga’ as a placeholder for ‘friend’ or ‘homeboy’, I understand the nature of words and how they change according to times and the culture using them. K. Michelle and her use of degrading men by using gay is not the same thing. Besides, belong to the culture is a prerequisite to participate in the changing of derogatory words. K. Michelle’s intent to use the word ‘gay’ as a sword against her opponents is derogatory and ill spirited.K. Michelle maybe the problem, but we, as a society, are the enablers. Have you seen Family Guy? More specifically have you seen the episodes of where they poke fun at the Rihanna-Chris Brown domestic violence altercation? More importantly, have you seen the photos of Rihanna’s abused face with the ‘funny’ captions? What about the jokes on Twitter about the violence bestowed on women by men? If we make jokes adding to the humiliation of a abuse victims like Rihanna, how can we expect the average woman to come forth about domestic violence and rape? We should not.Recently, Kelly Rowland released ‘Dirty Laundry’ a track off of her MCA release Talk A Good Game. The songs chronicles Kelly Rowland’s abusive relationship with a former lover that led to a rift to her and BeyoncĂ©’s friendship. On Facebook, I witnessed 30 something year old African American Men and Women bashing Kelly Rowland for being jealous of BeyoncĂ©’s success. Whoa! Are we listening to the same song or have we come so immune to violence on woman that Rowland just seemed like a whining brat?
I suppose nothing is degrading as long as all of it is for entertainment and product. Yeah, that’s what slave owners thought when they made slaves rape one another.

See. Brooke Bailey and K.Michelle have proven why they will always be the Kenya Moore's of the group. The two posed nearly nude on dual cover of King Magazine's latest issue. This isn't the type of image that K.Michelle should be selling being that she just signed a new record deal with Warner Brothers [read here] this week.
Anyways, when will Brooke stop sharing magazine covers and get her own? If you recall, Miss Draya wasn't up for sharing a magazine cover with Brooke on an episode of Basketball Wives LA. -
It looks like singer turned reality star K.Michelle can shut up about how her ex-boyfriend Memphitz ruined her record deal. K just inked a new deal with Warner Brothers Records. Even though I don't care for her I will admit that I am honestly happy for her. Anyone that can take a punch to the face, allegedly, and still get back up deserves a second chance.
"I'm just really blessed to get a second chance. I have so much to sing about and so many stories to tell." said K.Michelle in an interview with Singersroom.
She now has a source of income to pay her ex-boyfriend Memphitz when he wins this lawsuit against her and VH1 for slandering his name on the Love & Hip-Hop Atlanta series.
Will you be buying her music? [Source] -
Is she allowed to do this being that she is part of the cast for VH1s Love & Hip-Hop ATL? Singer K.Michelle took to YouTube to premiere a trailer for a new webseries about her that will allow her fans to get a more personal feel for who she is.
While I don't really care for the singer, she is smart for at least re-investing her reality show coins back into her brand.Will you be tuning in? -
Another day, another wackassBobby V song. Bobby teams up with singer K. Michelle to bring a seductress anthem entitled 'Put It In'. I am personally not here for this song and I really think that Bobby should just give it up. These two artist give so much attitude and then release some trash like this? The song sounds like something that should be on a mixtape and not single wise.
'Put It In' doesn't sound mixed correctly and the ending is random. I don't know why K.Michelle would even lower her standards to do a song with this dude. If she likes it then I love it!
Enjoy the tune below. I didn't.
