Last night in NYC, TLC hosted an intimate press screening of their upcoming docu-series “Starter Wives Confidential” at the INC Lounge in Times Square. Cast members Josie Harris (ex-fiance of Floyd Mayweather), Liza Morales (ex-girlfriend of Lamar Odom), Tashera Simmons (ex-wife of DMX), Monica Joseph-Taylor (ex-wife of Funkmaster Flex), Zakia Baum (ex-girlfriend of Maino), and Cheryl Caruso (ex-wife of Phil Caruso) were quite frank during the post-screening Q&A, moderated by model/actress Liris Crosse.
“I was 100% mother and wife,” said Tashera. “When I love, I love hard. [DMX] was great at what he did – which was cheating – but I’m happy as hell now. I’ve found someone very special in my life.”
“[Lamar] is the only man I’ve ever been with,” said Liza, when asked about being a ‘Lamar virgin.’ “I know the worth of my cookies.”
“I’ve never done [Maino] dirty,” said Zakia. “So it’s time for me to tell my story.”
“Actually, I went to see [Floyd Mayweather] last week,” revealed Josie, but denies that any sex took place.
“Starter Wives Confidential” premieres Tuesday, January 29 at 9/8c on TLC. Visit the show site at http://tlc.howstuffworks.com/
RCS SIDEBAR: If you’re wondering what happened to Shaniqua Tompkins, mother to 50 Cents’ son, she quit after filming several episodes. Word on the street was Curtis Jackson aka 50 Cents didn’t want her to do it. In order to keep the peace, Shaniqua quit the show. Translation: 50 said “How much they paying you? Here’s five times that, now quit!” He takes his music seriously… “Have a baby by me, baby! Be a millionaire”
