Cardi says that some of the “nasty” comments she’s received from this and previous pregnancies are one of the reasons she waited until the end of her pregnancy to confirm it.
Cardi said that she didn’t like the comments that Crissle made about the possibility she could die on the surgery table after giving birth:
“There’s not only stress, but they might wish you something so nasty on you, and then you’re on your life. So, it is weird like, for example, like, why would you say, and I hope you don’t die on a mommy makeover. And you know, I got four kids!” she said.
Cardi said that she doesn’t like people coming for her motherhood, epically people like Crissle who don’t have children. Cardi said that she agrees that children need more than just money and she provides her children with love and her support. She says that while sometimes she has to be away from them for more than a week, her children are very bonded to her.
Crissle responded to discourse and claims she’s a therapist on TikTok. She says she’s enjoying all the discourse and only wants to clarify the claims she’s a therapist.
Crissle said she’s obtained her masters in clinical mental health counseling but she’s not a licensed therapist. Crissle says that she doesn’t want to be a licensed therapist because she does not want to be restricted to ethical and legal obligations that it brings.
