She is so graceful I just love how she always shows love to any and everyone. What a light ❤

[@lm8544]

I realized I couldn't please everyone since I was about a pre-teen and I'm much older now. People suck. I also realized that when i was a child and that realization is what helped me avoid a lot of disappointment and helped me get through a lot of situations unscathed.

[@mishawilliams4319]

I strongly agree, I had to learn the hard way ,doing better now that I'm half a century old 😁

[@jimmywilder6349]

Great interview from two beautiful black women! Nothing but positive vibe from the podcast. 👏👏❤❤

[@daniyahwebb354]

@jimmywilder6349 lala is not a black woman.

[@OHoneyPot]

I couldn’t agree more ♥️

[@AnAdorableWombat1]

Lala is puerto Rican and more white Spanish than black. And jemele song beautiful

[@shantelleholden9182]

I’m married and I know I would never do it again. I’m like Lala… been there done that got a T shirt 😂😂😂

[@rozaleos]

You are married, but definitely not a wife.

[@billiehicks6587]

What La La said about high school basketball is better to watch than professional basketball 🏀, is so true.

Such a Great Conversation ❤❤ Thank You Ladies

[@rwii4863]

As a man, if I get divorced, I wouldn't want to do it again.

It's always better the second time around. Never say never. 😊

This was such a beautiful interview La La you are so positive with a loving heart ❤️ intelligent brilliant love ❤️ blessings

I always Lala interviews! she's just so grateful, gracious and humble God bless you and and your family Lala🙏!!!!!💜💯

[@elliotselmon7581]

LOVE this interview!!

[@miriampamperedinpaper3366]

Such a great interview! I absolutely love Lala. She’s just a great human at her core. I’ve watched her career flourish but I’ve truly enjoyed watching her grow as a person. Well done Lala for all that you’ve done and continue to do. May God continue to bless your journey.

[@directorytaliwag4100]

Great interview Jemele. You are so good at this💯💯💯. LaLa is a pro in every way.

[@iamjro]

[@preciousone9377]

Great interview! Love LaLa!

[@charitycosten]

totally agree with what she said about the high school game. they be lit!!!

[@act2lifeafter50]

Great interview!

[@ozaus1685]

Successful Older man will not holler at her because they either feel intimidated by her success and her strength many fear rejection or just not being able to handle so yeah, they won’t holler. Some man will feel like a hot successful female is out of their league. So they resort to getting involved with young projects so they can feel like they got it like that. You can’t please everyone! Take it while you can get it 😊

[@iyamom4]

I think over 40 men just don't want to be serious. They know they can't play the games with her. So they leave her alone. Just speaking from personal experience. 😊

[@SamanthasUniverse]

​@@iyamom4Right, bc most males are just playing games. Why? Who knows?

[@NSDreaming]

B@@SamanthasUniverseWomen play a lot of games too.

[@lolitanolita9107]

This lady is amazing... Beautiful and just a really good person, smart and down to earth.

[@MissCombs1511]

I always enjoy LaLa's interviews. She's so personable! But one question, if the program for the young men is called "360" doesn't that mean they come back to the same place?

[@ceerox3974]

Yeah... should be 180

[@cemerrills]

Great interview!!!

[@aljohnson27]

I’m loving that lipstick LaLa has on BANGIN!!!

[@isabellae4405]

She is so beautiful and chill.

[@YashiBIN]

[@shawnaw9750]

Great interview

[@user-co1js2jr4k]

If needed, I would remarry again. Absolutely!!

[@dappdaddy33]

…good 2 know u and Mello are good friends and better off w/o each other 💯😎✔️…

[@SamanthasUniverse]

I'm divorced. I'm NEVER remarrying again. Women want the fairy tale and when marriage shows us something different, we leave and we are just done with that chaper like La La said. That's how I feel to a T! Like, been there, had that experience, NEXT! I'm enjoying my freedom too much to get a new master.🙂

[@amberts180]

I am free where La la is from and none of us grew up “poor” so I’m not why she’s trying to give him modest beginnings when he seems to be a good kid and a hard worker. Money never makes the man, but artificial struggle doesn’t always make sense. I hope she learns to give realistic balance so he knows how to handle the money when it comes.

[@traceygrant3386]

You can’t speak for her not everyone from Brooklyn Newyork grew up rich and not everyone grew up poor but you don’t know how she grew up. I’m pretty sure she wasn’t rich either. There’s nothing wrong with her teaching her son to be humble and responsible I’m sure she’s teaching him how to handle finances also even if you are rich doesn’t mean you should give your children everything they want they should have to work for it. Because I grew up in New York my father was a train conductor and my mom was a nurse we lived a nice life. But they taught us responsibility that we had to earn things nothing in life is free. When I became a nurse I taught my son the same thing. My husband and I own to businesses own our home and 3 cars. That’s her son and I think she’s doing a good job raising him.

[@aharper12]

I realize when this interview came out.

[@valencialuke614]

She so sweet.

[@LadyWisdom2U]

@JemeleHill, you, I, and LaLa need to speak offline about your Cancer men comment. I almost fell off my chair when you revealed that you are a Sagittarius who had issues dating Cancer men. I have the reverse story. One thing for certain Cancer and Sagittarius/Capicorns are opposites that attract, but are horrible in a relationship. I will run from all Capricorn men! Those dynamics made me believe in the Zodiac.

[@yogaqueen1527]

Young guys talk to older women. Older men want younger women. Just how it is. Lala mentioned how she made her son put his plate away. The house had full service. We know whose house it was, even though she didn't say. Kim Kardashian. I have too only heard positive about lala. She seems great

[@SamanthasUniverse]

I ALWAYS LOVE La La's interviews.🥰🥰🥰 She's so down-to-earth and relatable and we are both the same age, 41, so I GET everything she is saying. She is me. I am her.🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

These two women are polar opposite in both integrity and self esteem amongst other things. So weird that the beautiful talented unapologetically black lala from TRL became a kartrashian black token.

[@FitFury]

Definitely as a man after being divorced I would never get married again! It only benefits the woman! As a man no matter what you will always be the victim

[@iyamom4]

Not necessarily my ex remarried twice.

[@adornyjacobs3372]

Hmmm, I will say marriage can be challenging. I’m married right now and my husband and I butt head’s like crazy sometimes. I had to learn his language, which isn’t always easy, because I want my language to be understood… and I feel he has struggled with the same concerns. I promised I will never get married again if this marriage ends.😀 but I love this man so much, I had to understand what it was I was doing to cause stress on my part. Because we both have a part to play. I had a few issues with in that needed to be dealt with and so did he. But this man loves me and he believes our love is worth the fight. Because of this attitude, more trust is showing up. Listening to each other’s needs and wants are showing up. I said all this to say sometimes we get with the wrong person and sometimes we allow our ego make us believe it’s about us and not about the other person. Because marriage is about the other person on both sides. I found out when I wasn’t getting enough from my husband, I wasn’t giving enough. And same with him. Working on me helped me as well as him working on himself. Then things started working out. Love begins with self love, once that’s recognized, loving others becomes easy. Have a great day ❤

[@fk8395]

As a man😂😂😂 damn! Statistics show otherwise! Most Men remarry women don't even if they lost their partners in their younger years. Clearly we know who benefits more from marriage.

[@dosverde12]

LA la is a threat to the average guy,she has looks and money,regular guys have no shot.Rich men want a hot chick,less then 35 years old

[@acomment5991]

Marriage benefits men! Not women. It’s is an arrangement that mostly works out for men.

[@toddgoza3522]

Why do celebrities get divorced then complain about dating what did you think the grass is greener on the other side?should stayed married if all you going to do is complain about being single, you going to find out marriage wasn’t all that bad afterwards
