When you think about emotion regulation, you're not going to choose an adaptive strategy which is more effortful to use unless you think there's a good outcome. Avoidance is eas. Ignoring is easier. Denial is easier. Complex problem solving takes effort. Listen to the Psychology podcast on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.

And everybody knows you don't lie about that, right? Lauren came in hot. Hey, y', all, what's up? It's Lauren LaRosa. And this is is the latest with Lauren LaRosa. This is your daily dig on all things pop culture, entertainment news, and all of the conversations that shake the room, baby. Now, y' all know my favorite episodes are the ones where we have a little bit of mixture of all the things. It's pop culture, it's entertainment, and I know this conversation is going to shake a room or two or three. So getting right on into the latest Ms. Kelly Price. R and B singer, R and B legend icon Kelly Price took to her Instagram live to give us 45 minutes of things. And it was not vocals. Okay, her mic was on. But this time she has some words for the people. Let's take a listen. She says black women are some of the most nasty, disrespectful people because they've trolled her appearance. Let's take a listen. I'm letting you have it right now. Cause ain't nothing you can do about that. And while you looking for a new job, I'm still gonna be selling out theaters and venues looking like a fat slob in clothes that you said that I look nasty in. And my feet are so damn big and who dressed me. I'm still gonna be making my money. I don't even do this. But I'm so sick of black people and their. I'm saying what I want to say. If you got a problem, what I'm saying. And you know, Lord, pray for me because I'm not there yet. Black women, you are some of the most nasty, disrespectful, respectful people on God's planet Earth. The things that you say about other black woman women. But you're an activist and you are educated and you are this and you are that and you are the other. Alrighty. So the mic was on. Kelly Price said what she said. I told you guys this was about a 45 minute long IG live. She did it late, you know, overnight in LA. Literally, we woke up to these words. And obviously it was something that was on her spirit, on her heart. She performed Friday in Memphis at the Orpheum. I believe I'm saying it right, the Orpheum Theater. And there is photos and videos of her posted on stage. I went because I was trying to figure out what prompted this because, you know, I went through some of her other pictures and, you know, it might have been. This might have been a long time coming. Like, I know Kelly Price has had conversations about, you know, how the industry dealt with her when it came to her weight and her having to figure that out and navigate that space. So I know that this is not a new area for her to hear people be critical of things about her in relation to her and all of those things. But I did want to try and understand a bit more of, like, what caused her to get on live because as she says, she doesn't normally do this. I've never seen Kelly Price go live to read a bitch. Okay, I've never seen it. Now, do I agree with her? I hate to have to say it, but I do. I do agree with her. I do believe that. And it's not all black women. It's not everybody. It's not all black men either. But I do think that we unknowingly are some of the toughest people on each other. Yo, especially in public forums, like, especially when it comes to, you know, people sitting on platforms and everybody got mics now. And even if you don't have a microphone or a camera in front of you, just, you know, being on your keyboard and, you know, on your phone and you on Twitter and you in the comments, and it's all about who's commenting can get the most likes in the shade room. Comments. No shade to the shade room. Love my people over there, but y' all know what I'm getting at. I, I, I completely understand. I, I completely feel her. I think one of the things that I'm starting to see from this, and when I said that I, I saw her performance Friday at that theater in Memphis, I realized on that video that the comments on that video were turned off. I did not see the comments on that video before they were turned off. So I don't know specifically if that was it. But the other post, she collabed that post on her page. But the other post on her page, the comments are not turned off. So I'm assuming that the person who posted that, which was the person who had posted about, you know, seeing her and being excited to see her in Memphis, turned the comments off, and then she saw the comments and went live. That's how I'm assuming this tracks. But I don't know that to be confirmed, regardless of what went down, what comment it was, what, whatever she saw, she. It pissed her off, and she wanted to address the girls, and that is exactly what she did. Okay, read. Read them to a T. Here's my thing, though, and y' all let me know how y' all feel about this. Again. Get in the streets. Get in the streets. Y' all want to comment? Let's have this conversation. Let's start with black women. So in my own. And I'mma only speak here for my personal experience. I cannot speak for Kelly Price in my personal experience. I think not even. I think from what I have felt, just in the little bit of time that you guys have gotten to know me on this platform, people are so critical of your looks, everything. Yo, I get comments about the way I pronounce words. The way I say words I get comments about. So it's like, I get comments when I am. When I'm over pronunciating or I'm talking proper people are like, why is she talking like that? Or I've always gotten like, the. You know, the whole, she's talking white. Who does she think she is? Like, that whole thing, right? But then when I'm not talking that. Because I go in and out. It depends. Like, I don't know, I go in and out of, you know, being able to, you know, my dialect changes depending on what I'm talking about sometimes or, you know, just what the surrounding is. Like, if I'm talking about court, if I'm talking about whatever. But I remember I walked out of the shade room. The shade room. I walked out of court during the Diddy trial, and I used the words did I think I said the prosecutors did their big one, and y' all was all over me. And I don't even just mean in the shade room comments. I mean, it went from the shade room comments to my Instagram. I've seen threads about myself on Twitter. On threads, there's always, yo, when I went to freaking Dominican Republic and I put on a bathing suit, y' all would have thought that I committed murder. I was everything. I was uneducated. I was the reason why black young women don't have careers and futures. I was nothing to be looked up to. It was crazy. Like, it was honestly insane. And I'm learning to, like, I've never been a person that let social media, like, ruin my whole life, ruin my whole day. But you do see the comments. I've had to learn to stay out of the comments. Cause I be wanting to get right back at y'. All. Like, that's how I feel. So I understand Kelly Price. And again, the issue that she's experiencing, I'm not, you know, making this about me whatsoever. But I think when I hear her talk and then I see people in the comments saying, why are you saying this? Why would you get on a platform and speak against black women? That's my issue majority of the time with us as black women, if this is what she's experiencing, why does she gotta talk about it in the shadows? I think if we talked about it more openly and we shamed people or people had to deal with consequences when they did it, there wouldn't be as much of it. I don't think that we understand the power of, like, group. Look, y' all gonna drag me for getting that word Wrong group economics and group think. I really don't think that we understand that. Especially because, like, when you're talking about a person like a Kelly Price or even what we saw with Essence Festival, I was mad as hell at us about that. And majority of the receipts and the videos and all the things I saw, it was Black woman led. And again, I'm gonna talk about black women and black men, but I'm talking to black women first, because as a black woman, I've experienced this myself, so I could speak to it. But when you talk about a Kelly Price, so you talk about the way that this woman looks, right? So you're talking about her weight, you talking about how she's dressed. You talk about all these things. These are conversations that, if put in the right echo chamber, can echo to a point where they might affect money, brand, business, whatever. Not saying that that is why she got on live and decided to say all the things she said. But I think about that, and I think about Essence Festival and I think about the things that we choose to focus our time on and join in as a group to shame. And I get it, everybody has a little Kiki every now and then. But it gets to a point where it's like, this is not even a joke. It's not even funny. Are you okay? Are you okay? Because at the end of the day, that is a woman who you don't know what she's going through every single day. She is getting up, she is getting on a stage, she is getting in front of people, and she is doing her job every single day to be able to pay her bills. Why be the person or why wanna be the people in a group, whether it's in comments or whatever, that wanna break her spirit enough to the point where she can't do that. We've heard so many conversations about singers, you know, and them having to deal with physical appearance and showing up and just all of these things. I don't understand why. Like, I don't understand why people are so comfortable with doing and saying certain things. And when it comes to black women, I think a lot of times, you know, from what I've experienced, we think we helping each other by doing this. It's like, I remember we were having a conversation on a Breakfast Club. It was me, Charlamagne, Envy and Carrie Champion. And I will insert a bit of the conversation here. I felt like in the media space, like, in the. In what we do, I always felt like when it came to black women, it's never a real genuine mentorship. It's always like, I've never met a woman. I don't have any mentors that are on camera and do what I do, because everybody feel like I'm coming for what they got going on all the time. So I don't. Like, I can't. I can't support that. But I'm just. And then if I get like, that sounds like you might feel like. I mean, it's the case. I used to feel that way, but I had to actually feel that way. But the reality is, is that when you let these know where you come from and what you want, like, yes, people will hate on you. That's just the nature of this business. But you have to find a community of women who have your back. And I'm sure there are some. You see right now, there's somebody who's listening to you right now who's gonna be like, I'm gonna take care of her. Now. My point in bringing this. This piece up was as a younger black woman trying to figure out and navigate the world every day. And I don't mean, like. Cause I got. I have family. Like, I'm. Y' all hear me talking about my family all the time. I'm really close to my family. So I have. I have black women that I can go to and that can nurture and I can have conversations. But even there sometimes, like. And then you go out into the world, and it's the same thing we are taught sometimes, that being tough, being hard, being negative, you know, pointing out the worst first is helping to build someone to be strong. And it's like, no. And I think because we're taught that, and that's how we're raised in our household, it's a generational thing that we then pass on to our daughters and, you know, things of that nature, but then we take that out into the world. And I say we because I know I've been guilty of it. Like, listen, I've been on the receiving side of it, so I understand where Kelly Price is coming from. But I've also been the person that's been throwing it out there as well, too. And a lot of times I be having to correct myself, like, bro, you don't know what you're contributing to right now by doing this, by saying this. A little jokey joke, a little hee hee. Y' all know we good for Lil Kiki, okay? One thing black people gonna be good for. You don't wanna sit down at the space table with us if you ain't tough enough. And we gonna have a little kiki. But it does get to a point sometimes where I'm even having to check myself, like, yo, bro, my grandma used to say, is that your mind or your manners? And I literally have to think about that to myself sometimes. Like, okay, you're going too far. Why? Like, what in you makes you want to have a person feel that way? And I don't know what it is about us, man. Like, but we enjoy. I don't even know if we enjoy it. Maybe it's a subconscious thing. I don't even wanna solve it. I don't even wanna answer that question. I wanna ask you guys, black women, what is it that causes you to be comfortable with getting online, getting on these platforms and dragging other black women? Because one of the things that I have from the conversation I just showed you guys at the Breakfast Club, you know, I've learned two things. I learned out of that conversation and the conversations that came after. Because I had a lot of black women reach out to me, and I had two things happen. I had a lot of black women telling me, you should not be having those conversations publicly. And then I had a lot of black women come to me and being like, I'm glad you said, especially women my age and younger. I'm glad you said something. Because why do we gotta be hazed and put through hell to feel love from another black woman? Like, why does that always have to be the thing? Like, why does it have to be like you're fighting? It's like almost like you blood in, blood out into the mean girl club. Like, why does that always have to be a thing? And then, you know, for the women who are reaching out to me, saying, you shouldn't have had that conversation publicly. And that's what I'm seeing in a lot of Kelly Price's comments. Black women saying, yo, this ain't all black women. Why would you even bring this online and make this a narrative? It's not all black women. Nothing is ever all. But if it's happening and it's happening in a way that it feels like it's big to her, she decides to talk about it. Let's talk about it. Because it is a thing. It does happen. And we always have to act like it doesn't. I'm tired of acting like it doesn't. I'm tired of having to act like, you know, everybody's just so loving. And, sister, I see you and black girl magic. Brown girl grinding. No, yo, the point in me having brown girl grinding was I Wanted people to realize, like, we don't even have to all like each other, but we gonna be nice to each other, especially publicly, because we should be able to be at a point where we are educated. We are moving culture forward. We are the tastemakers. We all know that the black girls is where it's at. Like, we all know this, right? But we can't go somewhere and yell it from the mountaintops. And then inside the house where it's supposed to matter, right? Like, when we repping and standing for each other, we throwing rocks at a glass house. Like, it can't be like that. I've had to come to realize that. And, you know, my. You know, as I'm getting older and I try and put that out into the world because that's what I want to come my way. But I'm going to tell y' all something. Y' all rough as hell. Y' all be rough as hell. So for everybody that is commenting, you know. And you know, because now outlets are picking this up and are throwing conversation, Kelly Price's way about what she should not have done, I think let's listen to what she's saying and get to the root of the conversation. Are we mean to each other or what? And why? And if the answer to that is because of some things that we're dealing with ourselves. Because I had to take a look at myself a long time ago and be like, bro, what are you going through that you have to project this to people around you? Or, like, what have you been taught that you need to unlearn that you gotta project this to people around you now every now and then. And I'm not saying. Cause sometimes. Sometimes, you know, people do need a little bit of. Stop playing with me sometimes. So listen, we ain't gonna love every. You're not gonna love everybody. But y' all get the gist of what I'm saying, because when I had that conversation, it was so many people calling me being. And to be honest with you, I had conversations with people in my own life after that conversation I had that were like, yo, this is how you feel? Was I a part of that? Yeah, you were. And I couldn't say anything because we're also taught that especially if someone's older than you, you sit down, you shut up, and you take that order. But all of that cycles down into generations and generations. No. And I'm not saying go cuss your elders out. I am not saying that, okay? Because listen, baby, I ain't got nothing for you. If Granny go Tell you get the switch. But what I'm telling you is, is that we should take more like note of what we put out. And because you never know how that's affecting someone. Obviously this affected her. So how dare somebody come on her platform and say why would you talk about this? Because now this has become the narrative. What about why are we doing this to each other in the first place? I love being a black woman. I love seeing other black women thrive. You know, I think one of the things I've had to learn because I've always worked like I come from a real family. And then you go out into the world that has raised me to be, ain't nobody gonna break me down. It's me versus the world. And if it is that, so be it. I'm gonna head up, chin high, makeup done, lip gloss on, pumps on. That's what we give in every single day. You will never know what I'm going through over here unless I decide to tell you. But you go out into the world and the world begins to break you down as a black, especially if you're working in a world. This is my first time in my life where I'm able to focus on black people and black things. Before that I've always been the only or the minority outside of being at Del State University. So shout out to my hbcu. And that's why I think I enjoyed that experience so much. Because work wise and like professionally, I've always been in spaces where I'm the only black girl or I'm one of like few black people. So I've always had to learn to kind of like tuck my tail a little bit and just be happy to be somewhere when that is not how I was raised whatsoever at all. So when I finally got to a space where I'm like, okay, I don't gotta do that. I can be happy. I can be happy to see, you know, somebody like me doing well and sitting across from someone like me or whatever. And then you start feeling and seeing all of the like conniving and you know, like just all of the stuff Kelly Price is talking about, the disgust, it's so sad sometimes. And again, this is not all black people or black women. But baby, when you feel it, it hits. And I think because we're black women, we know a bit like, you know how to hit that, like that soft spot, you know exactly what, you know how to read a bitch, you know exactly what to say to get someone to a point where it's like they're Gonna react. I've had to tell myself multiple times in public spaces, we can't do that to each other. Like, if we wanna have a conversation about what we don't agree on, what we don't like, you may not love me or you may not even like me or like what I'm wearing, what I got going on, boom, we can do that. And jokes is cool. The jokes can fly. But it gets to a point where it goes beyond a respected, a respectful conversation. It goes beyond a little jokey joke. And now it's a personal attack. And it's like, why are you attacking what you see when you look in the mirror? And when it comes to black men, you know, again, I think the only thing wrong here with Kelly Price's words to me was it was so generalized that you're going to hit people who don't deserve it when you get on a platform and make things so general. But I will say, in my life recently, I've experienced black men who, like, can't wait to be like, yo, stop playing with her, period. But you do have, you know, the other. The opposite, and all the things. And Kelly Price said what she said, what she said, again, about the black man. We don't even gotta get there. We don't. Cause to me, I mean, I don't even think that I know too many men who play in this field of commenting on women and, you know, all the things too much. I think the last time in a public forum. Yeah, the last time in a public forum, you know, there was any serious thing where there was conversation about me and it was involving another black man, People were quick to jump to, nah, we not gonna do that. And it wasn't because it was me. It was more. So this is a black woman and you're a black man. That's supposed to be a protective space for her. And we ain't even joking or keying right now. Cause I know y' all be pissed at Charlamagne, too. We ain't talking about him, though. We talking about a whole nother situation. If y' all remember some things, y' all know what I'm talking about. Well, I ain't even gonna. Yeah, we ain't giving the grace of all that over here, of calling the names or whatever. But when I saw that, you know, happen, I was like, number one, I had to take accountability in a moment and say I need to be more responsible about what I even lend my time, attention, thought and word to. Because I don't even wanna put black men that I love in a space where they feel like they have to jump to protect or jump in a line of fire. But again, a lot of this stuff comes in, you know, the black men that I love, that was ready to. You know what I mean? Nah, we not doing that one with this one over here. That's something that they normally do. They're. They're. You know what I mean? They have black women around them that they're building up and they're loving on every single. So even with black men, again, I think. And I'm not, you know, I'm not a black man, so I can't speak for y'. All. I can only speak in my experiences with black men. I think it's just a thing of, like, how you were raised and who you were raised around. Because again, it's that when you look in the mirror, when you looking at me, you should see your mom, your sister, your grandma, your auntie, your cousin, somebody like, that's how. That's a stranger on the street if it's a black man. If I see someone in harm's way or whatever. I'm not Superman, but that's literally what I see. I instantly go into, damn, that could be my brother, man. That could have been my dad, man. That could have been my uncle, my cousin, like, instantly. And that's all we want for y' all to do as well. And that's all she's saying. I just think, anyway, it's certain conversations. When it comes to women and their appearances, men should not join in on, like, a little, you have a little Kiki. Boom. Have your Kiki and move on. But don't kiki too much, because now I'm trying to figure out, do me and you pee the same. Hey, sis, what if I could promise you you never had to listen to a condescending finance bro tell you how to manage your money? Again, welcome to Brown Ambition. This is the hard part. When you pay down those credit cards, if you haven't gotten to the bottom of why you were racking up credit or turning to credit cards, you may just recreate the same problem. A year from now, when you do feel like you are bleeding from these high interest rates, I would start shopping for a debt consolidation loan. Starting with your local credit union. Shopp around online looking for some online lenders because they tend to have fewer fees and be more affordable. Listen, I am not here to judge. It is so expensive in these streets, I 100% can see how in just a few months, you can have this much Credit card debt, and it weighs on you. It's really easy to just, like, stick your head in the sand. It's nice and dark in the sand. Even if it's scary, it's not going to go away just because you're avoiding it. And in fact, it may get even worse. For more judgment free money advice, listen to Brown ambition on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

The Latest with Loren LoRosa
Episode: Kelly Price says black women are the most nastiest & disrespectful people
Date: September 3, 2025
Host: Loren LoRosa
In this compelling episode, Loren LoRosa dives deep into R&B legend Kelly Price’s viral Instagram Live rant, where Price asserted that Black women can be “the most nasty, disrespectful people.” Loren unpacks the complex cultural and interpersonal dynamics at play—in entertainment, on social media, and within the Black community—while providing candid reflections from her own lived experience as a Black woman in media. This episode invites listeners to wrestle honestly with internal critique, the impacts of criticism, generational cycles, and how the community might do better.
Loren offers a vulnerable, incisive, and nuanced take on a conversation that’s often shut behind closed doors. She neither excuses cruelty nor advocates silence, instead urging listeners toward honest self-examination and greater compassion in public discourse—particularly within spaces made for Black women, by Black women.
The episode’s tone is direct and candid, fostering a space for tough, necessary conversations while never losing sight of her love and advocacy for her community.
For listeners: If you’re interested in community healing, critiques of celebrity culture, and real talk about navigating identity and solidarity, this is a must-listen. Loren’s open invitation to join the conversation makes it clear—this discussion is just getting started.
