[@kennethhilton8700]

Tamaron could've done more to give viewers an insight on Kae's career. Vanity was a hit show a few yrs ago that gave me respect for Karrueche as an actress. Claws isn't her first accolade. She could have expounded more on Kae's success with the show claws, promote the final season so ppl would tune in, her character on claws and how it relates to Kae, working with Neicy Nash, what future projects she's looking into, where can we buy her jewelry.... etc... But I don't think she does enough homework in preparation. Even if Tamaron's intention is to make the interview positive, she still leans towards asking questions that have been answered or sensationalized. The more she gets out of a guest that the fans or viewers don't already know, the bigger the success of this show.

[@gigilamoore2656]

Tamron has negative energy at times and while she smiles, her approach is such that she is lowkey trying to show people in a bad light. She should work on that within herself.

[@SherG2774]

I didn’t enjoy the line of questioning…could have been more intellectual and less condescending. Kae is in an exceptionally creative and award winning space, kudos to her for choosing to be single and stay focused on her own evolution. Seeing a therapist is one of the best decisions ever made too👏🏾🎉🎁

Side note you don't have to be single to focus on your career. You just need a strong minded partner so you can build together. I'm tired of people thinking being solo is the way to go to be successful. We were built to be in pairs.

[@damita4336]

I've been on both sides... singles and pairs... both sides have pluses and minuses.... Jesus was single and maybe even a few apostles.... but if a person has a choice... not all do... then he or she should make the most of their circumstances.... happiness comes from the inside out.... some are happier in a relationship but the skyrocketing divorce rate in our country... proves that many are not..... as the bible presents the option of marriage... marriage is a desirable choice... but it is not a commandment or a requirement for true or lasting happiness....IMHO...

That's good she is focusing on herself and doing what she loves. There's nothing wrong being single and happy. These days people get into serious relationship and later find themselves unhappy because many of them rush to quickly. I always believe in taking your time. Get a degree, work a career and or open a business, travel and just enjoy life period. However if a person decides to marry then a person will be ready without regrets because he or she have done the things they wanted to do before tying the knot.

I actually really like Karrueche. She seems like a sweet likeable girl but she was introduced to the world through a worldwide famous artist, so it’s not unusual that that’s what we know her from/associate her with. Not in a malicious way, but it’s just facts. CB may be a douchebag but at least through him, she was able to gain that exposure and publicity. Because it’s a lot harder to come up on your own and even her struggling through acting reflects that. Tbh, I didn’t even know she was an actor, haven’t seen her anywhere. I thought she was a model/influencer. It is really hard to build a brand and build a name for yourself when you’ve been connected with someone for so long. But she’s doing well now. Everything happens for a reason. So perhaps she needed CB and everything that happened to get her to where she now is. Best of luck to her 💕
