When Hood Rats Justify There Actions

I know the way a nigga livin was whack, But you don’t get a nigga back like that! Shyt I’m a man with pride, you don’t do shyt like that~~ Jay-Z

They say you can’t turn a bad girl good. Those words are the realist shyt ever wrote, just like you can’t change a man he will be what he wants to be period. I for one can’t see why people can’t just admit there mistakes in life, why is it so hard to say yes I did that and I was wrong. When I speak out  I will admit I let myself get abused and yes it was stupid. I can only tell the truth about my walk in life because my story might help another person who thinks like I use to, see the light. Also I won’t let anyone sit around telling my dirt if you ain’t heard it from me then it’s not the truth period. This is why people get blacked mailed and stories leaked because they don’t want to fess up to the truth. Folks can say, “yeah she stayed with her baby daddy and he was beating her azz and cheating on her” they might even say “she’s ugly, got a big forehead, she can’t write” that’s just there opinion of me. However they will never be able to call me a ho never! They will never be able to say Nichelle Walker been ran through are slept around the industry because I guard my name like hawk seeking his prey.

Now ho shyt is ho shyt and I know ho needs love to, but defending your hoish ways is hood rat behavior. There is no way you can make it right; hooking up with your spouse or ex spouse inner circle is foul. It doesn’t matter man are woman, it’s just low down and dirty. I have heard cases like Kandi said AJ was Tiny old boyfriend and she asked her permission to date him, to me that’s a respectable way of handling it. Just linking up with your mans friend is dirty and then to sit back and say “they wasn’t best, best friends” to justify your tricking is lowdown. Wrong is wrong and you could have at least said, “I was young and can see now how that bothered him, it’s something I wouldn’t do again.”  But to make your wrong right just shows me you are a hood rat rather you like to be called one are not. It is what it is sister girl! Hood rats sit on Maury and tell there man, they’ve fluck his brother are the one I saw yesterday, the nigga on the corner. While her man is out making money to feed her and the kids he thought was his she sleeping with the broke block dyck.

I don’t understand it, however A few weeks ago group member Robbie Pardlo was featured on an episode of A&E Intervention. According to his side of the story, Claudette Ortiz was his high school sweetheart and she eventually left him for fellow group member Ryan Toby in the middle of a tour. The betrayal from his group members made him turn to alcohol and the group eventually disbanded. However, Claudette has a different story. Here’s a few excerpts from a recent interview with

On Why She’s Speaking Out:
Initially I wasn’t going to say anything… & I think that stemmed from fear because of the relationship I had with Robbie… it was an abusive one. He portrayed it like it was a “lovely romance” & it wasn’t. I just want to move on & put things behind me. Other people may be in the same position I was in… & if you don’t eventually stand up for yourself it can carry on for the next 12 years… like in my case. It was time to tell the truth… the truth that he so conveniently left out in the intervention.

On how she felt after watching the intervention:
I didn’t watch it when it came on but then all this stuff started popping up on the internet & when I decided that I was going to do this interview I had to watch it… I’m being used a scapegoat for his failure… he didn’t appreciate me, City High… I saw him on there talking about the red carpet… he didn’t appreciate the red carpet… I’m 18 years old living my dream, we were nominated for a Grammy & here is Robbie drunk… drunker than I’ve ever seen, I’m hoping we don’t win because I didn’t think he could control himself if we had to go on stage an accept the award.

Sheis…: How did you & Robbie meet?

Claudette Ortiz: I met Robbie before the group (City High)… We started out as friends… we were both singers & knew some of the same people… My older sister and him were in the same grade so she knew him too… they were 2 grades above me… when we first started dating she said to me “are you sure you want to date him?” I asked her what she meant by that & she told me Robbie had a reputation of getting really drunk (since) back then & told me a story about him drinking excessively to the point where he’d passed out. I knew he drank but I never saw that side of it. He was my first boyfriend, we were young I was 16 & he was 18… we were nice teenagers. Everything seemed fine in the beginning but over time it became like a nightmare.

On how she linked up with Ryan:
Ryan was always a good friend to me… when Robbie & I broke up people were always saying things about me & Ryan would defend me so I was looking at him like he was my hero. It got to the point where I didn’t even want to be alone with Robbie… One time he threw a champagne bottle & again I had to move out of the way to prevent from getting hit. People thought he was going to hurt me because of how he treated me. Ryan was the total opposite… he has a lot of respect for women.

On her relationship with Ryan and Robbie:
They weren’t best friends like Robbie likes to try & make it seem… Robbie was my teenage boyfriend & it wasn’t like I just hopped from one to the other… I married Ryan & was with him for 9.5 years. I got with Ryan because Robbie was an alcoholic… & the way he treated me. If I had a man now that had problems with alcoholism but treated me good, I’d stick around & help him through it.

On the group’s break up:
I left the group in June 2003… he knows my reasons… he wanted to stay in the group… maybe that’s why he blames me. But if me leaving because I didn’t want to deal with the nightmare anymore is a bad thing, then I’ll take that. I’d been dealing with it since 1998 all the way through to 2003. I don’t know many solid women that can deal with that for so long… I even initially took the blame… I remember doing the Wendy Williams show & accepting all responsibility for the breakup because I didn’t want to talk about the truth… I don’t think he expected me to say anything… but I’m not that little girl anymore. I’m not weak, I’m a grown woman. I have children, got married, divorced… you have to stand up for yourself & that’s what I’m doing.

Sheis…: You & Ryan have children but your not together anymore correct?

Claudette Ortiz: We are very close friends. We had both of our sons before we got married… we had a good relationship for a long time. Around 2007 it started fading out, we were changing… we’d gotten together pretty young & so we separated. I started seeing someone else & had my daughter at that time & I don’t know who Malicious Jynx is, that is not my daughter’s father. My daughter’s father is just a normal hard working business man. He’s not even in the industry…

Sheis…: So hold on… you don’t know that guy that is being reported as your daughter’s father?

Claudette Ortiz: No I don’t know who that is. I saw a rumor on Wikipedia a while back saying I was dating him & had a child by him… I was in the studio with Brian Michael Cox & we laughing about it… I wasn’t even pregnant with my daughter yet… I don’t know that guy & never met him…

Sheis…: How is your relationship with Ryan now?

Claudette Ortiz: At some point after I had my daughter Ryan & I got back together… but we eventually decided to end our romantic relationship. I absolutely still love Ryan, we’re very good friends. He’s been praying for me, calling to make sure I’m o.k. with all of this… being a good friend like he’s always been.
