  • FOR DISCUSSION: Are Women ‘Crazy’ In Love or Are Men Just Crazy? Michael Jai White Pens Open Letter To His Exes…

    Michael Jai White - ATL Live

    Michael Jai White posed for the photo above as he partied in Atlanta during ATLLive on the Park earlier this week (CLICK HERE for more photos).

    The actor, who is currently featured on Tyler Perry’s ‘For Better or Worse’ recently took to his facebook page to pen an open letter to all of the girl’s he’s loved before (cue Willie Nelson).

    Following years of trial and error with romantic relationships, it appears that White has had an epiphany of sorts when it comes to dating, love and his all of his former girlfriends.

    In his letter, White details the issues he’s encountered in his many relationships and how women were ?crazy? with their relationship demands, stating:

    As a man, you have to deal with hand holding, ?yes dearing,? and freaking cuddling! I endured this for years until my relationships reached their natural demise due to some natural chemistry flaw between us or the woman?s natural chemical imbalance- Yes I said it…

    I believed all women were crazy and the only choice a man had was to decide exactly how much crazy he?s willing to deal with to sustain a relationship.

    Read more Michael Jai White’s full letter under the cut…

    Michael Jai White and Wife Gillian Waters - StraightFromTheAFor the record, Michael Jai White claims to now be a changed man.

    The actor, who is now ‘happily’ married credits his undying love for his wife, Gillian Waters, with transforming him to better understanding on how to cater to a woman’s needs like ?a man.?

    Blah Blah Blah…

    Here’s the full letter, which was posted to Michael Jai Whites Facebook page…

    APOLOGIES TO ALL MY EX?S!

    In all my years as a grown man I knew, without a doubt, that women were different than men and required a gang of emotional attention. I came to the resolution that part of a man?s role was to endure women?s emotional neediness by patronizing them much as you would a child:

    ?Yes, Dear, I?m listening??even though this is some rhetorical bs. ? Of course I miss you? even though I just saw yo ass a little while ago! ?I see you?re calling me?? even though I just F*^?#?ing? talked to you 20 minutes ago!

    As a man, you have to deal with hand holding, ?yes dearing,? and freaking cuddling! I endured this for years until my relationships reached their natural demise due to some natural chemistry flaw between us or the woman?s natural chemical imbalance- Yes I said it!

    I believed ALL WOMEN WERE CRAZY and the only choice a man had was to decide exactly how much crazy he?s willing to deal with to sustain a relationship.

    It?s crazy to think I, as a man, would ever want to spend every waking moment with a woman, to be all-up-on each other constantly, to talk endlessly about ?every-damned-thing? and see each other ?every-damned-day!? I was always the spoiled Alpha Male who didn?t have to try as hard and I dealt out advise to my brethren due to my abundant experience with women. I had Alpha Females, ?Dime Pieces? with degrees and plenty of them!

    I pretty much got every woman I wanted, rich or famous and who could argue with my numbers? On every level, I was ?The Man!? Agreed? Well take my numbers, ?Dime Pieces,? and vast experience and apply it to what I?m about to say- I WAS WRONG ABOUT WOMEN ALL THESE YEARS! My Ex?s were right!

    The interesting thing about every good argument is the shifting percentages of validity on each opposing side, but only one concept will tip the argument past the 51% and expose the unflinching reality of the truth. My new life philosophy is to look forward to being wrong because each time I?m wrong, I learn something that unlocks the door to a concept I struggled to understand. The truth is then revealed and to live in the truth is to live in enlightenment.

    I am now in a relationship that I never knew was even possible. I?m in love with my best friend who I shower with endless affection, talk to all times of the day and miss the moment I leave her side. I now understand what the women of my past desired from me. They INSTINCTIVELY KNEW that love actually looked this way! Everything from the hand holding to countless daily declarations of love were not only a byproduct of the man?s emotions but it was something easily volunteered by the man who?d truly loved them.

    I simply didn?t love my Ex?s in the capacity their spirits knew organically needed to be loved. I believe woman nowadays have learned to settle for what?s FAMILIAR to love. In turn, the?ve had to decide how much of a man?s love they can live without to sustain a relationship. As we men are natural leaders in providing security, it is women who are the natural leaders in how to love. They are instinctively born with the barometer to feel when love is real. The behaviors they?ve required from men IS the behavior that is true for love. The crazy lesson for men is that YOU?LL NEVER KNOW HOW MUCH OF A MAN YOU CAN BE UNTIL YOU TRULY LOVE SOMEONE BEYOND YOURSELF.

    I can say that I am now the very best version of myself and that?s due entirely to my relationship. My perspective is clear, my goals are defined, distractions are nonexistent, my business and personal relationships are stronger than ever.

    I don?t feel like ?The Man,? anymore. I feel like A MAN.

    What do you think of Michael Jai White’s open? ‘Apology’ to his exes?

        Straight From the A to the Hall of Fame! This one Straight From the A to the Hall of Fame! This one hits different. 👽🛸

OutKast’s induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame 2025 isn’t just a win for hip-hop — it’s a celebration of Atlanta’s heartbeat. Before there was Real Housewives, Love & Hip Hop, or any Atlanta reality show, there was the Atlanta music scene — real stories, real people, and a creative energy that could only come from the Southside.

I grew up in Southwest Atlanta, and back then, it wasn’t unusual to bump into (or run with) the same circles as OutKast and the Dungeon Family. We were all just young ATL dreamers finding our voices, our style, and our lane. Somewhere along the way, I kinda inserted myself as an unofficial member of that crew, a sister to the culture, always front and center, documenting the movement before “content creator” was even a thing.

When I started blogging in 2007, Straight From The A wasn’t about reality TV or viral gossip. It was about the music, the movement, and the people who put Atlanta on the map. My blog name, my pen name ATLien, my whole digital identity was inspired by @outkast , @goodiemob , @killermike , @ceelogreen @sleepybrown , and the whole Dungeon Family - the original ATLiens who made the world respect the South. 

And Killer Mike — I’ll never forget how you encouraged me to keep pushing nearly 20 years ago when blogging was still that “weird internet thing.”

Today, I celebrate the legends who defined Atlanta’s sound, spirit, and swagger. True innovators. True visionaries. Forever ATL. 👽🛸

After all that eviction tea, the doors are locked and lights out. Big shoutout to @millichun for sliding by to check out the scene! 

Is Kenya really Gone With the Rent? Or is Friday her off day? 👀

        The Kenya Moore Hair Spa drama just got even MESSI The Kenya Moore Hair Spa drama just got even MESSIER, chile! 
The landlord has officially clapped back in court — filing their answer to Kenya’s counterclaim, and whew, they brought receipts on receipts! 

According to the filing, Kenya hasn’t paid a dime in rent or utilities since December 2024, which technically makes her a squatter! 😬 And about that $80K tenant improvement allowance she’s been fighting for? The landlord says she’s in default and violated several terms, meaning that deal is void.

This whole thing is turning into a Bravo-level courtroom saga… minus the peach! 🍑

The full 99-page amended complaint (with all the juicy details) is available now on Patreon + Members Only! http://patreon.com/atlien or hit the link in bio for the exclusive legal tea.

So what do y’all think? Can Kenya spin this, or is the Hair Spa officially a wrap?
