Imagine shooting a man and paralyzing him and everybody praying for you and your sanity. This is crazy i was raised to never point a gun at a person unless you intend on doing harm

[@purvisgoodwin9005]

And then she ran out after the shooting & never even reached out to the family or apologized

[@hasanahgardner834]

Right that's crazy

[@Queen-of-the-Burbs]

Having anxiety and depression is difficult. I can’t imagine entering the music business with those unresolved issues. So much can go wrong. I hope she’s okay.

[@nataliegordillo]

An artist showing this level of vulnerability...this is admirable. Don’t stop

[@joebaker7573]

Facts im liking her music she's talented

[@MissJ619]

She didn't even apologize to the young man's life she changed forever. Why would you even touch a gun that's not even yours. No business at all.

[@mrs.davis3553]

She is so brave. Not too many people in the industry would have shown their vulnerability like she is. God will continue to hold her up through this storm.

[@melissaangela9151]

She never said sorry to the guy she shot. She changed his life

[@tifftyme6657]

I love Melii, she’s organic and expressive . Nobody’s perfect !!

[@Abanchess]

No one can use your story against you if you own it... sending Melii love and prayers for her peace of mind ♥️

[@saniahsworld836]

Ana Belliard no is using it against her n iam the victims sister

[@4Bidan]

ThYs not true because ppl will still run around with their own version n say she is lying. Thats what haters do

[@barrykhadidiatou357]

she's so sweet and soft-spoken, praying she's able to get better!

[@michelle4025]

My heart completely goes out to this girl. The way she trembled is very relatable when you’ve been carrying all this weight of guilt, resentment, and just overall hurt because of traumatic situations as such. I pray she gets better and starts to forgive herself and the family of the victim is able to forgive her as well.

[@melissaangela9151]

She should start by saying sorry to her friend that she shot and changed his life. She never even called and said sorry . His sister is the only reason she didn’t get 12 years . She talks about talking to him. She never talked to him 1 time she only talked to her sister. Watch nelli millZ it’s his sister on KZbin

[@mylafatu]

The sister of the victim has a different story. And said this woman has never apologized. Watch her interviews on Breakbeat Media! Called " famous singer sh**ts producer in neck"

[@flakiiis0008]

I love Angie interviews cus they feel like having a conversation with your big sister. Like there’s a comfort and love there as well as realness.

[@GettothePoint28]

I love Angie’s interviews. Melli is going to just take off. She seems like a sweet girl. Def has a lot of talent.

[@andreww5574]

lowkey the best interviewer

[@enchantment8]

Are you supporting him financially? Donating anything to his child? She is not the victim, she shot a man and paralyzed him allegedly.

[@itsneeduhh_]

His sister just did a video on her

[@stephglamQ]

Who’s here after trappers anonymous? Theses stories don’t match at all.

[@mslovely6518]

Me and they definitely don't match

[@yakimaharper9707]

This breaks my heart. PTSD Depression and Anxiety is real. You’re not alone mama. ❤️

[@AR-oi4hg]

The audacity to say she feels like a punching bag to a person or people for a situation where she left that person or family members loved one paralyzed is kind of crazy. I empathize with trauma but she obviously didn’t handle it the right way after wards.

[@ZoliRza]

I truly hope she thrives in this business. I love her music. She's a genuine soul. You can tell she's a sensitive and scarred individual. But I really hope she grows in a positive way!!!

[@hipking23]

Is it me or she looks gold?

[@darealphantom]

I felt this interview so much for the second time she got me crying traumatic situations really hunt you forever I really pray she gets some peace because it’s HARD AF 🙏🏾❤️🤞🏾

[@bolivaraltamirano4356]

darealphantom what about the guy she hurt. Does anyone feel bad for him. Smh

[@tyriecarter9549]

Yes she is

[@FreshR3ll]

She is toooo dope and real the industry needs her ‼️

[@Pocoknowz]

She never apologized to him after. (Coming from the sisters interview)

[@jamaysa1295]

Melli is so genuine...Light comes out of darkness! In due time she will be able to live the life she was put here to live...I pray healing comes quickly for her 🙏🙏

[@kelz040290]

She got me over here balling my eyes out. I have PTSD from.seeing a friend accidentally kill himself. I kind of buried it and never really talked to any one. But I'm terrified of guns now and loud noises make me cry. I feel her pain I wish I could hug her seeing something like that changed me. I was the reason he pulled the gun out he was playing with me so I carry that burden. I can't imagine being the one pulling the trigger shes strong asf man. I'm glad he's still alive. I wish Craig Woodward was still here with his kids R.I.P.

[@Pugetwitch]

You are not the reason, you cannot say that. It was his choices that pulled out a gun, anybody that owns a gun means that you do not pull it out to play. I was raised with gun safety and you did not pull a weapon unless you plan to use it, I'm very sorry that your friend made that choice. It is not your fault, honey! One of my closest friends made a bad choice to handle is sawed-off shotgun and in the process of doing so he accidentally shot himself in the stomach and he passed away. It was devastating because I grew up with him and his daughter that he had a young age in high school was my goddaughter. She had just turned 21 and her dad had finally gotten out of prison after being in there almost her entire life. Then he went around and did that dumb shit. It makes me so mad and sad. It's absolutely devastated my goddaughter, but she's thriving regardless. She's very talented.

[@purvisgoodwin9005]

She downplayed this situation so bad smh...

[@mslovely6518]

She sure did

[@kiira0823]

Wow man, I’ve seen a couple of her interviews and she been through a lot. I wish I could just give her a hug❤️

[@NeonPOP323]

I think she’s really real for expressing the demons in her closet. And like people need to understand that these demons are REAL and I don’t think a lot people ever express these demons and I commend Melii for doing this because being someone who suffers from anxiety and depression and being someone who beats myself up I don’t think a lot of people get how bad it is to be your worse critic. Like it’s hard , because I definitely feel the same Melii does with things. I pray for her 🙏🏾❤️ because it’s so hard....

[@KoolJamesGaming]

I like her voice. When i heard & saw "Icey" i wanted to play it in clubs. Then "HML" dropped some months ago i really like it. She get's emotional talking bout traumatic experiences poor baby. She going to be fine. Dope person dope music

[@nunyabiznis8015]

Straight BS.... SHE DID THIS FAMILY WRONG..... KARMA IS REAL.... YOU DIDNT BLOW UP BECAUSE OF YOUR NASTY CHARACTER.

[@LifeWithCharde]

Yeah this interview is upsetting and disappointing. She downplayed the situation and you can tell that she isn’t genuine. Devilish energy for sure

[@ms.nikkies338]

True strength is standing in your vulnerability and being able to know you are working towards growth. I admire it and more of a fan. Some of us deal with mental issues and aren’t as strong to admit it. Salute

[@Miss-ru5tb]

Usually we go thru pain, struggles to strengthen us. Babygirl I hope your issues can result into your success & become an outlet to help yourself & others and find your life path 💕

[@youngstunna323]

Someone gave a female a loaded gun when she clearly doesn't have any type of understanding of how to safely handle it. It was the friends fault they got shot. Always clear your weapon when giving it to someone, check the chamber twice! negligent discharges really tick me off.

[@purvisgoodwin9005]

No one handed her the gun, she picked the gun herself & pulled the trigger

[@mslovely6518]

She picked it up herself

[@carmelitagonzalez4862]

Melii is such a strong woman This is the reason ILH so much. Hopfully she gets past through everything she has gone through in life and becomes even more successfull in life 🤗💯💖💖💖💖

[@MoisePicard-mk1nt]

I could never imagine what Melii went through. But, I will always have a heart for her, especially for her dealing with her traumatic experience.

[@skat3r430]

She reminds me a lot like my best friend that I lost over personal issues 😢

[@anthonyvanwyk1001]

Ey I mess with Melii's story. She's being true to herself and vulnerable and it resonates and relates deeply with us fans.

[@rapma1971]

We must pray for her! Just started viewing Melii after hearing BDE, total 🔥 Can’t wait for live shows to resume so we can see her perform! Who changed” must listen.

[@MoisePicard-mk1nt]

That's how I first knew of her through her song, "BDE" in May 2020. And, I have been in love with her ever since.

[@chyinadollz28]

This is extremely different from what his sister said.

[@kalipeters4115]

I LOVE YOU MELII & I PRAY you find your balance. In another life I know me and you would've been best friends. Watching this interview I felt like I was watching myself. The way you talk and think and how you are around people I can relate to 200% I was diagnosed with the exact same thing except I was kidnaped and pimped and another occasion beaten, raped & wiped down with cleaning products. I REALLY HOPE YOU CONTINUE WITH EVERYTHING YOU LOVE TO DO & don't let your condition stop you or distract you. I know it's easier said than done but if you can I know I can 💯

[@4Bidan]

Honestly, her coming out is her choice. If she never publicly said anything it doesnt mean that she doesnt own it. If she chose not to clear it up she didnt have to...i like her..

[@sadiki1980]

Crazy interview!I hope she gets through her situation.

[@theresaleahy6494]

She hit the nail right on the head when she said "I dont think talking about it is actually helping me". Let me tell whoever needs to hear this...PTSD and/or trauma DOES NOT get better or improve with talking about it!! It actually tends to make it worse. You have to find an EMDR therapist. They are specialized in treating PTSD. Remember that- EMDR. It stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. Please, people have to know this. Ptsd is debilitating and ruins lives. The best way out is w EMDR.

[@summerrain6125]

Certain things will always be traumatic or painful to talk about i think. But for some, i think it depends on the person or the trauma. I think how much time has passed also matters too.

[@MZMILLZ1]

The sister and former producer that she left paralyzed story is on KZbin and maybe everyone should see that before they give her so much grace. And I like her but that smirk at the beginning of this conversation and the way the victims helped her stay out of jail because “they were supposed to win together” and then she went on with her life without them is messed up but you know 2 sides and the truth. Maybe we will never know.

[@mimilovely8509]

You can’t change the pass but you can change now, and forgive yourself

[@leslieavalos7509]

Damn this was a very intense interview, poor thing was shaking so bad 😔 god bless you and keep being strong melii. Much love. I hope she is able to get passed all this and find a way to over come it all. My poor baby 😔 💕 you got to forgive yourself sweety. I wish her the best. Xoxoxo

Aww Melii I love you so much this broke my heart because I know what having those thoughts are like. you are strong and you are an amazing person ♥️

[@jamalwillabus6470]

I can imagine what happens when she puts this pain into her music. she just needs to stay close to god heavy and stay prayed up! She will be ok and she will heal. She needs a lot of genuine good spirits and energy around her to heal properly. This also goes to show something else, FELLAS, THESE WOMEN ARE HUMAN BEINGS, NOT OBJECTS! THEY ARE STRONGER THAN US MEN WHEN IT COMES TO FORGIVENESS, LOVE, AND ALSO PAIN!!! AND of course, I'm speaking about MOST women! The right man will bring out the best in a woman or better yet HIS woman. Most women will take pain over being the reason why someone is suffering and they usually don't forgive themselves for things that they can't control even. So cherish them no matter what, they are gods daughters and they are queens of this society. No matter how they evolve, depart from them in a healthy way if you no longer want to be involved. DO NOT mistreat them! The universe and god works.
