Time Heals All Wounds:

On a new episode of The Real, co-host, Adrienne Bailon, displayed that she not only talks the talk, but she walks the walk. After blasting Oscar-Award winner, Mo’Nique, for how she chose to handle her beefs with Tyler Perry, Lee Daniels, and Oprah Winfrey, Bailon decided to show Mo’Nique how she thinks a woman should handle it. Bailon invited her former group member/Power actress,  Naturi Naughton, onto the show to apologize to her publicly.

In the past, Naturi has publicly stated that after her 3LW group members (Bailon included) unfairly kicked her to the curb, she felt that their manager blackballed her in the industry- the same thing Bailon slammed Mo’Nique for publicly revealing in a “loud and boisterous” manner.

So with Loni Love seated in the middle of their Real conversation, a very pregnant Naughton sat down on the couch to hear what Bailon had to say. Here’s how the apology went:

“It’s crazy because when I look at you I think about my teen years,” Bailon began, speaking to Naughton. “We literally grew up together in bunk beds in New Jersey and I thank God for the time that I got to actually talk to you. We had seen each other at an Us Weekly party, years ago, and we sat down and talked everything out, and I was able to apologize to you if I ever — you know — there was a lot that went on in that time that looking back was just like, we were so young and it was crazy, and that I genuinely from the bottom of my heart never meant any harm to you, and I think you’re talented and you’re beautiful.”

Although Adrienne Bailon tap danced all around the cruel details Naturi said was done to her by Bailon and the others, her apology seemed genuine and Naturi seemed to receive it. In agreement with one another, both ladies admitted that they were “young and scared.” Naturi shared that when she was in 3LW, it was a very difficult time for her and that she didn’t think she would make it. In addition, she also mentioned the criticism that she received and that it’s important for women to love each other. Not going into great detail, Naturi implied that management caused problems for the girls.

What Really Happened? Skin Tone Bashing & Fights

Over the years, it was rumored that Bailon was allegedly incredibly rude to Naughton and was even responsible for getting the actress fired from the group. Naturi has also said in the past, that she believed colorism played a role in the way she was treated, admitting that they oftentimes made her feel as if she “wasn’t good enough” because of her beautiful darker skin tone. The group consisted of Naturi, Adrienne, and Kiely Williams. Michelle Williams- Kiely Williams mother- managed the ladies. At one point, the tension became so bad, that during an argument with Michelle, Kiely threw food on Naturi and destroyed her hair, along with her clothes.

“There was an argument between me and Michelle [Williams], and Kiely and Adrienne are cursing me out, and before I know it, Kiely throws her plate of food all in my face — mashed potatoes, macaroni all in my hair, down my clothes, messing up my [hair]do! Nobody has the right to hit me. That’s not what I’m here for, … to be physically abused. So I said, ‘Get me a flight back to Newark, New Jersey,’ and they wouldn’t even help me get a ticket,” Naughton shared with MTV News back in 2002 when the group split.

Ex- Manager Slams Naturi & Adrienne For Speaking Their Truths

Now their former 3LW manager, Michelle Williams, whose Twitter name is TSE Williams, had a lot to say about Bailon’s apology. Williams is very active on Twitter and she questioned why Bailon felt the need to apologize at all. In addition, she commented about the alleged criticism of Naturi’s skin color.

Ouch! I’m guessing that she will not be on The Real any time soon.

Meet Maxwell’s Girlfriend

The woman he’s dating is none other than Julissa Bermudez. Remember her? She was the very next host of 106 & Park after AJ and Free made their abrupt exit in 2005. Radio personality, Big Tigger (former host of Rap City), was Julissa’s co-host for a while on 106 and after that, she became a BET personality for several other ventures.

Julissa also starred in her own reality TV show with her best friend, The Real co-host/ex 3LW singer, Adrienne Bailon. Their show was titled Empire Girls: Julissa and Adrienne and aired in 2012.

This Isn’t Their First Red Carpet…Last One Was Overshadowed…

Well, it turns out that reality TV and TV hosting isn’t her only claim to fame because unbeknownst to many, Julissa and Maxwell have been together since at least 2014 and word on the o0ld school curb is hat they are madly in love. Their ten year age difference ain’t nothing but a number either- Maxwell, 43, loves his 33 year old Dominican queen.

This VH-1 event isn’t the first red carpet they touched. They appeared last year (2016 on BET’s red carpet together for the BET Awards, but I think that flew right over folks heads too, because that was the same year our girl, Toni Braxton, showed up on BET’s red carpet with Mr. ‘Put Some Respeck On My Name’ a.k.a. Cash Money Records owner, Birman, and became the focus of memes and blogs everywhere at that time…

Well now, Maxwell and Julissa are stealing the red carpet shine and we’re happy that they’re happy.

Julissa’s Other Celebrity Relationship

This is Julissa’s second public relationship as far as we know. From 2005 to 2008 she was in a serious relationship with former NFL player, Larry Johnson. It was widely reported that their relationship was pretty rocky and in 2008, they called off their engagement. When Julissa ran into Larry during the filming of an episode of Empire Girls in 2012, she was reduced to tears after he told her he was happily in love with the mother of his then new child and had finally stopped drinking- something Julissa had long hoped he’d do.

Maxwell & Julissa Are Happy Now

However, as you can see from these lovey-dovey pics of she and Maxwell though, there are no more tears she’s crying…unless they are truly tears of joy, because from the looks of it, this couple has been genuinely happy for years now.

King + Queen Of Hearts Documentary Coming Soon

By the way, be on the lookout for the new King + Queen of Hearts tour documentary featuring Maxwell and Mary J. Blige. Check out a snippet below…
