Is it possible to give Jess the stories ahead of time so she can review them and pre-read them? Edit: To be clear I’m not against Jess, I was one of the people cheering for her. STILL cheering for her! This is just an honest critique. I want to see her kill this position. You literally see them giving her notes to read on air sometimes. You also see sometimes the story is just one sentence. Which I believe is supposed to kick start dialogue which she doesn’t do. If she had it ahead of time she could ponder on it make notes and have better input.

This is crazy. Both of these people were dominating the charts in the early to mid 2000s. Never back then did I think they’d end up engaged and expecting a child

[@theChosenOne1876]

Is that you people weren't paying attention to things constantly in the news, why you don't know certain things? Social media brought them back together. She did an interview in the pandemic talking about her younger years including her relationship with Nelly and why it ended. Basically in a nut shell the woman said she ended things with Nelly to protect his life as she didn't wanted him dead. Because someone hated her being with him and was making her life a living hell from she broke up with that person. Even her career the person was purposely destroying all because she didn't want him anymore. Nelly too was on the receiving end of these threats with possibly murder if she continued to be with him. Which was why her relationship was a secret even though they were together for ten years. The woman also said she always wanted a baby with Nelly and it bothered her didn't got that chance. Verzuz happened shortly after this interview where she was even crying like crazy. Ja Rule and Fat Joe saw the interview just like everyone else and wanted her and Nelly to meet again as she said they haven't seen each other in years. They surprised her at Verzuz with Nelly and Nelly hugged her. Then social media was on her case to leave her man for Nelly especially being Nelly for years missed her too and it was evident on his reality show years ago. The woman left her man and got back with Nelly and now we here happy for them.

You're right I forgot he is raising them not about his sis passing. I forgot she did have children my apologies 🙏🏾

[@TriggaTreDay]

I thought he adopted them? And even if he didn’t adopt them it’s more respectful to say that they are his kids since he cared for them for so long. Same situation with August Alsina. I grew up in foster care and when my aunt took me in, it made me feel very uncomfortable whenever it was said that I was her niece because back then people would ask why was she taking care of me full time which would bring up the fact that I was in foster care. It was very embarrassing for me. So she started saying we were all her kids. And it made me feel better. Yall are always so quick to try and play politically correct. Thinking that you’re doing something.

Bless Jessica’s heart…😩 Maybe brief the stories before reading it, so that you’d have an idea of what it says, before airing 🥴🤷🏽‍♀️ FYI : *Briefing* is a trick that politicians & TV hosts do. They don’t read the teleprompter word for word the entire conference/show.

[@TheBiggest7.62]

That ain’t help her reading abilities

[@Aliasss]

@@TheBiggest7.62 The point of *briefing* is so she’s pre-informed on the story, so that she doesn’t have to do much reading while live. If she has difficulties reading…I don’t think that’s going to be resolved within a day. It’ll take time. So briefing in the meanwhile, will help her move the stories along more smoothly.
