Was I Right Or Wrong?

[@rhondateal9859]

You were absolutely right!!! People feel comfortable taking unnecessary liberty & when called on it, they gaslight!

[@huntsvillegirl9581]

What a strange way for a person to approach someone else they don't know. People can be weird and odd and strange.

[@darleenowens6137]

Yes, you were right. It annoys me when somebody say I did something I know is not even my character. You handled that very well.

[@w.ross-gunter2662]

In a situation like this, no one is ever wrong for doing what they feel is right. However, she is one of many who think you are/were dismissive. I would have quickly said, "I'm sorry you felt that way. God bless you, and have a nice day." Having a conversation with her would have taken too much energy from me, and the mere fact she thought I was dismissive, knowing that's not in my character, would have low-key annoyed me. Be careful of people transferring negative energy and protect your peace!

[@DemetriceOwens]

Ppl be deflecting, and you were right for bringing it on back. MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU AS WELL.🎄 🇨🇽 🤶 🎅

[@SIcebaby1girlbizkitz]

Dismissive is intimate and relationship oriented..... She was manipulative in her approach; she wanted access. " We" are spiritually and emotionally immature, and our vocabularies are inadequate.

I met you in October at your book signing at First Baptist Kingston, you was very nice, very encouraging, and you uplifted me about loosing my son and how your book will help me and my friend who also loss her son a year before I loss mine. Not one time did you ever come off as dismissive at all, I am happy you got that lady all the way together.

[@IWearACrown]

What book?

[@johnhowse4958]

That’s your experience though ma’am. He’s my favorite comedian but sometimes he is not approachable and take a lot of stuff as an insult. I get both sides. His thing is he just wants to be respected as a human and a comedian.. people on the other hand just see him as a comedian and someone who they can laugh with real quick while they see him in crossing.

[@cleoaveritte8567]

@IWearACrown His book is Side Show its on Amazon and other stores where books are sold

[@honeychile829]

@@johnhowse4958I don’t get both sides. Because Mike Epps played DayDay - you expect him to be DayDay & work for Pinky????!!!! I comedian is what he does not who he is. I see a lot of ppl in these comments acting so hypocritical! In church Hallelujah- in the parking lot - GET THE 🤬 out my way!!!! I’m trying to catch the GAME! Play my football pool or finish cooking my oxtails. The name of the game is GROWTH - if he played a character 24/7 - then y’all would say he CRAZY! Ppl something! That’s why I’m soooo GLAD GOD SAVED ME FROM THE OPINION OF PPL & gave me the gift of “forgetfulness” - I don’t remember ppl or situations that pulls me out my character. Too much to lose! #GrowUp!

[@KayExposesTruth]

Hmmmm... I would love to hear her side... She may have meant what she said & she shyed away bc she didn't want to truly confront your behavior... The other part is, subconsciously you wanting to get an opinion means you may deep down know you CAN BE dismissive & you're deflecting to get a team of people to support you... To make you feel better about yourself... We call them YES MEN where I come from... Either way, stay alert of your behaviors & self aware, God is not the author of confusion & will always order your steps 🙏🏽

[@TheRedScareIsAlive]

This is entitlement. No one owes you attention. Some people, like myself, don't enjoy small talk to strangers. And it ain't changing. Be gone. Too much energy wasted

[@KayExposesTruth]

@TheRedScareIsAlive well apparently this is a concern for HIM since HE brought it up... So why are you here & you sound big mad about a situation not involving you... Obviously some of Rickey's fans like yourself need therapy... And a reminder to focus on situations relevant to you so you aren't triggered.

[@carolynswan1171]

I believe he have been dismissive or still is I’ve seen where other people have said he’s dismissive and rude .

Rickey you handled that well with the elderly lady because they feel that everything that they say is correct right or ok to say and they will stand on what they believe in think they dont realize that they can say things that can be hurtful and offensive to people and may not be the truth. Sometimes you can't convince of anything.

First of all, greeting everyone. I was en route to work one morning & RSMS played a song by Fred Hammond. Living in N.O. I saw Mr Smiley when he hosted the Good Friday concert. Years ago but my Bestfriennn was at the concert with me (RIP Beebee!❤😢). It was maybe 6 or 7 of us. It was amazing! We laughed, cried & was praying at the same time. Anywho - I made a “tweet” on Twitter & within 5 mins - R.S. followed me back! I thought it was a prank! So - now, his son passed (R.I.P. Brandon, Blessing Leelee!!! Leandria SANG) - his grandfather, he still has life demands, not including the struggles he don’t mention. Long story short, give him some GRACE! I can’t believe he would intentionally do anything knowing his BRAND is how his bills are paid, blessings are brought forth & Ms Janie another story! I still want her to hug me, curse me out then feed me some pig ears! Ms Janie, I don’t eat this - EAT IT! Yes ma’am! Be kind. It’s the holidays. EVERYBODY dealing with something! PS - in the Prophetic words of JayZ - you can’t move forward without moving past REGRETS. It’s possible to be old & CRAZY! All I do I apologize (not my intention, who knows your reception) & move forward! Only apologizing once out of respect but don’t play with me! Esther (my moma) still got my back & DONT MIND!!!

[@Tricia99-h8d]

Yea , she could have approach you by saying I’m glad I got a chance to speak with you one on one & kept it honest . Respect is respect as they say age doesn’t mean a thing when it comes to respect & honesty. Well , you handle it & she apologized which is really rare these days . Sometimes you have to take the sugar with the salt & keep it moving . People seem to forget that we all are human beings you are not a Robot out there . Happy Holidays everyone!

Not to me when I first met you 🤷🏽‍♀️. I was so excited to see you and I think you saw it in my face and you gave me a hug and you was telling me how good I look and I had smell good. And what made it so funny you was flirtatious and my X- boyfriend was right there looking at you.😂😂😂😂 and we was carrying on a conversation and they told you that I had to go so you can finish taking pictures with the other guest. It was so funny. This all happened before I got sick with TTP I can’t remember a lot of things, but I will always remember that but six years later after that me and my ex broke up and he tore my picture up of me and you I was so hurt and he made me cry . That’s why I make sure I see you every time you come to Savannah Georgia. Take care of my brother and thank you for the memory.🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙌🏽💜💜💜💜💜

Two sides to a story, I personally would need her side in order to make judgement on whether I felt your were right or wrong. Maybe it did happen and you just wasn't aware and since you seemed offended she took the higher ground and just apologized for peace sake. Take inventory of yourself rather then asking for opinions of others that wasn't there to hear her story.
