Road Rules Flashback: Ayanna On Trial (Part 1)

In one of the most infamously bizarre meltdowns, Ayanna defends her actions stemming from an incident that prompted Pua, Veronica, & others to accuse her of practicing witchcraft.

[@nadi1010]

The funny thing is that the sage cleansing and incense are like the trendiest things now on insta lol

[@JayBCray]

yes!

[@RachelDavis705]

Ayanna was too intense about everything so no one listened to her, but I will always remember that Veronica copied her essay lol

[@Queendomcruz]

Rachel Dobbins thats the one thing I remember from that season too and ayanna running down the hall really fast hahaha 😁

[@littlebrokenhead8674]

Never realized before that Ayanna was a 5 percent-er. Watching this years later, it is understandable her meltdown, the people she is with are actually very ignorant and close minded to accuse her of some kind of black magic and then they just keep gas-lighting her, repeating the same questions over and over. They pretty much have no knowledge or respect for black culture.

She seems to have internal trauma that she’s probably able to sustain within her own comfort level but the fact that she had been placed with random people who have all been picked for particular personality traits it was a ticking time bomb waiting to explode especially when you’re different by nature but you own it..They were probably inexperienced with eccentric ,self aware people ..let alone black

The first one they didn't show that she assaulted that guy because he used the n-word. I know violence isn't right, but MTV was still dead wrong for editing out what that guy said that triggered her.
