Jody Watley Says Enough Is Enough Sets Record Straight

Jody Watley addresses the constant online bullying, harassment, spreading of false narratives from her former group Shalamar, their team and fans, smear campaigns, defamatory remarks through the decades since departing her former group Shalamar in 1983.
Jody Watley departed the trio in July of 1983 almost 6 years years during their most pinnacle recordings.There is an ongoing campaign of false narratives being generated from her former group, their team and fanbase that she first addressed in 2016 includes photo's and documents to expose the ongoing longtime lies, deceptions and false narratives. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. Stop bringing me up unless it's showing the respect earned in the early recording history of the group.

🗣 THERE IS NO BEEF! Jody, you got your Former Colleagues, Trolls and Haters all the way together for peddling lies and false narratives! You shut the nonsense down and with a smile! Masterful! 💐 🙌

[@jodywatley]

Thank you. Some of these people are going to act like they haven’t heard or seen and bought into the false narratives and lies. They will deflect, change the subject etc. I deal with it daily on my social media and here in my channel or any post about Shalamar you are bound to see something negative about me people self projecting THEIR issues and I get tagged - so now they can come here lol but I already know those who believe the false narratives will continue..just like I say in this video and my life and career will go on - this needed to be said though, long overdue. Much love ❤️

[@jodywatley]

I appreciate the kind words however this video is directed specifically to Shalamar and their fans who continue to spread lies and false narratives and their fans who harrass, bully, stalk posts from my work, Tv appearances, social media etc with lies. Enough is enough. I’m very happy as a successful solo artist, writer, producer, business owner these 4 decades and recently added radio host to my. ongoing resume with monthly “The Jody Watley Show” on Sirius XM. People are constantly going on about beefs and grudges which is non existent on my part ..when all I did was quit a job with poor treatment, disrespect and very little pay. For me like anyone who quits a job and goes on to bigger and better things not to mention joy and happiness that should have been the end. I’m tired of the lies and false narratives.

[@InglewoodsFinest71]

I’m glad you did this video. I see those types of comments all the time,and have had some back and forths myself in your defense as a longtime fan. Any real fan of yours knows what’s up. We all know it started from HH going way back, he said it on Tom Joyner Show almost every time he was on there and I’m a OG Shalamar fan, I ain’t blind or deaf though. It seemed like that apology video he put out was suspect unless he contacted you privately that’s just my opinion. I drove to Vegas to see him Micki Free and Carolyn Griffey it was billed as a reunion. I always got you on my playlists especially the newer joints 🙌🏿 Love ya Queen that’s right keep living your life doing your thing.

[@StreetSmartVideo]

I can identify with Jody's comments on leaving a toxic situation. I don't believe that Jody has a beef with Howard Hewett or Jeffrey Daniel. However I do believe that once you are scarred by an individual or a toxic environ😢ment you can move on but you don't forget it. Being under valued by a record executive and a band member is enough to make anyone want to rethink their career goals and direction. Jody is in a good space. I believe the Universe had her best interests at heart all along. Winning a Grammy and having a successful solo career speaks volumes. Now I'm not going to front and say I don't miss the magical moments the classic lineup of Shalamar and the incredible harmonies that Jody and Howard and Jeffrey created. And I really believe that if there was a show with the classic lineup it would be a huge success. I love the independent, radiant Jody and I respect her career choices and journey. I guess we will have to cherish those incredible moments that Shalamar gave us. Love you Jody!!!!❤❤❤

[@jodywatley]

It’s all about those continuing to spread false narratives out of jealousy, envy, hatred, resentment of my success and independence to let it go. I asked what is beef / grudge no one will answer it’s all deflections because you all know it doesn’t exist on my part. Watch the video again to comprehend what I’m saying as someone for decades of smear campaigns because I personally got on with my life/career much to the continued chagrin of many to STOP 🛑 .. it’s not about forgetting the past? it’s learning and moving on. You can forgive people IN SILENCE and choose to never deal with them again as well, however that’s much too nuanced for drama hungry public. My current hit release is “EVERLASTING” the now .. always about moving on. What I’ve learned is people who don’t like or support me will always only go to the negative and ignore the truth- deflecting away from it. Much love!

What you are saying has nothing to do with my reality. THEY and their supporters like you - need to stop with lies and false narratives. Weak minded, biased people like you have bought into. My life is great, my career is great nothing missing at all they are irrelevant in my life, just former colleagues who continue to try to smear my name out of jealousy. YOU and people like you need to make peace in your own lives and stop being gullible and buying into the lies just like I convey in this video and this open letter with photos and video actually to refute the lies. jodywatley.net/2016/09/09/jody-watley-speaks-out-an-open-letter-to-those-it-may-concern/ I don’t need to do anything. THEY need to keep my name out of their mouths and their fans such as yourself need to leave me alone. Stop spreading their false narratives and lies and coming at me as if I don’t know what’s important in MY life lol - the nerve and then you bring up God as if he isn’t guiding my steps and blessing me on a daily basis and has blessed me with the best SOLO career out of all of them as artist, songwriter, producer, trendsetter.. Take care.

@@jillw.2524, Fake news! Give that tired false narrative a rest! The success of Jody's long-standing, Grammy Award Winning Solo career is proof that she's been living life to the utmost! Her fans are proud witnesses!

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 People look up to both you and Howard. He was wrong for saying some of the things he said. We were not there. It would be a nice example for others to see to icons show love as an example. It would give both of you a chance to amicably and peacefully move forward. Even if you are cool it gives Howard a chance to move on and it gives you a chance to show love. ✌🏽
