Fuller recently penned a lengthy essay regarding her struggles since losing her child to the popular entertainer, stating:

There is nothing like the very first moment a woman connects with the child growing inside of her womb. Those first stirrings of life may be barely visible to some people, but when I found out that I was pregnant with my baby, my heart immediately made room for her in my life. I would sit in the stillness and wait for a sign from her like I was waiting to hear the voice of God.

Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for her father. And having him rip my baby from me feels like an act of willful violence that reoccurs every single day that I wake up and realize that she?s not by my side.

The young mom also addresses all of the rumors and internet chatter about why she lost her daughter and also reveals that she’s starting an organization for mothers like her, that have lost custody of their children under similar circumstances.

Apr, 8 2015 | Written by ATLien

Nene Leakes of The Real Housewives of Atlanta recently shared the photo above as she and her hubby Gregg vacationed on the beach.

Nene looks happy and healthy and it clearly?pays to be RHOA’s ‘Queen Bee’!

Leakes has stated on more than one occasion that she was disappointed in the drama of season 7 after what she has described as a ‘miserable season’ on popular reality show. ?And while many have often speculated year after year that each season would be her last, it seems that she’s not going anywhere anytime soon (as evidenced by a recent tweet)…

You may have heard by now about Nene & Kim’s spin-off show (click HERE if you missed that), but did you know that the show was merely a consolation prize to keep her on RHOA??

Ramona Debreaux (V103 radio personality) moderated the discussion about the film, which was?directed by Patrik-Ian Polk and stars Isaiah Washington, Julian Walker and Mo’Nique, in her first role?since winning the coveted Oscar.

I attended the event as well and since I promised that I would tell the truth about what I thought about the flick, I’m going to say this as politically correct as possible… *sigh*?if this is supposed to be Mo’Nique’s comeback film, she’s lost already.
