Monyetta Shaw On Bossip’s Don’t Be Scared Podcast
On the latest episode of “Don’t Be Scared” David, Danni, Jah and Janee chat with author Monyetta Shaw to discuss her new book.
Inside the tome Monyetta admits to previously compromising her values while in her long term relationship with singer Ne-Yo. According to Monyetta she did it because she “loves hard” and she “went hard” for the father of her two kids.
I love hard and I went hard for my man, no question and I feel like I did those things at the time because I felt it was necessary and I was in love. If you would’ve told me that we weren’t gonna be together I would’ve told you that you were a damn lie. I knew that he had my heart and I had his heart no matter what.
She also spoke on the concept of “hall passes” after admitting in the book that she gave her ex permission to cheat as long as he used protection:
Absolutely not. Girl, run! Don’t do it! […] He has such an amazing heart, he’s such a good person he really is. He was my best friend, it was straight up ride or die. I just saw my family breaking up—I don’t know that world, my parents have been together 44 years. So I’m like, what do I need to do? What is it? I know this is your problem so here, this is what you gotta do thinking he’ll get over it. […] Even though I’m dying inside.

On regretting having threesomes:
You’re in a relationship, you know your partner, I wasn’t a prude. I went hard for my relationship, it kinda happened and that’s what it was. The reason why I thought it was important to put it in there [the book] just when my daughter gets old enough to read it, or my son, it’s necessary [in the book] because whatever you do—you ain’t gon’ keep him. Maddie, don’t do it girl. If it’s not what you want…at the time it was what I wanted, I’m not proud of it and I wouldn’t recommend it if it’s not part of your lifestyle. […] I’ve never tasted the seafood, let’s be clear. […] I have no desire to taste the seafood.

As previously reported she’s also none too pleased with people constantly pitting her against her exe’s new wife Crystal Renay.
Let me say this, it’s good to see that I have support but to trash another woman, that’s not cool. It’s not what I want. Let’s just say the internet has no chill, social media has no chill and they’re definitely going to voice their opinions. I’m not everybody’s cup of tea clearly and she’s not, he likes what he likes obviously and he don’t care. That’s whats’s up. Even when I first started dating him it wasn’t all peachy for me. […]
When I first started dating him people started putting me with people I never even met before, I think it just comes with the territory. And then just stepping into his life at the time she kind caught it bad because everybody thought we were going to get back together—hell, I know I did. That’s why, it’s not really good but it comes with the territory. To even be in a relationship with a celebrity you have to have thick skin.
