Monet: Tasha Is A Bitter, Old, Desperate Person
Exclusive: Since there wasn't now reunion the 5th season of ' Basketball Wives' , I wanted to know the Tasha/Monet situation since that storyline ended started the last two episodes of the show. I felt we did not get enough of what happened. I had the opportunity to interview Money Merchand who was accused of 'stalking' Tasha. She spilled a lot of tea. She says she was asked to be on the show by producer Stephanie Edmonds, she also says that no one stalked Tasha and refers to her as an "bitter, old , desperate person." She says that Tami Roman was disrespectful and that she would have been at the reunion show. She also confirms she will appear on this season's Love and Hip Hop:NY with Rich Dollaz and Erica Mena.
Here is the interview
Being on Basketball Wives
Yes I received a call from one of the producers (Stephanie Edmonds) in February 2013 it was on a monday. Stephanie had called me regarding the show Basketball wives Miami 5 asking me did i want to participate in a episode on the show and share my side of the story because all the mefia frenzy built around me & this situation with stephon was a very public situation. Stephanie told me the invite was indeed on Tasha Marbury's behalf anf tasha wanted me on the show to meet me. I was hesitant at first but then decided to do the taping. When she called me the ladies were all filming in london for london fashion week the producers were filming basketball wives in london from monday - thurs in february 2013 but i was unable to renew my passport in time so they rescheduled my taping and conducted the meeting with Tasha Marbury in LA. That is what everyone seen on the finale.
On the finale, was that the only scene you appeared on?
Yes, the restaurant scene.
Set the record straight on this 'stalker thing. Why does Tasha accuse you of being stalker? How did the drama started?
Let's set the record straight. No one was allegedly "stalking" boring a$$ tasha, she is a snooze. There is a BIG difference between putting a b!tch on blast and "stalking" her. Tasha is a bitter old desperate and insecure person who put her dreams and life on hold for a man who played her and in return she was seeking revenge. Tasha needed someone to blame for incompetence within herself and failing so called "marriage." She needed someone to blame & i was her target. Tasha concocted and fabricatef this whole storyline about me to feel adequate about herself. But it backfired and once again Tasha is a Non MF factor. She has no name outside of Stephon Marbury, she isn't reputable. If it wasn't for Monet Merchand, Stephon Marbury, or Evelyn Lozada she would be a fart in the wind. Once again who is "Tasha Marbury???" Never heard of her. Womp Womp!
Do you personally know Stephon Marbury?
Yes. I no longer speak to him.
People want to know why do you follow the other women on the show and what are your thoughts on the other women?
Is this a "trick" question?? Lol i followed these ladies just like the rest of the general public can follow them. The Basketball wives season started in 2010 i liked the show so i followed them point blank period. They just chose to point me out to the public eye & promote me out of the millions of others following them. These ladies (Shaunie Oneal, Evelyn Lozada & Tami Roman) are all public figures anyone can follow them on Social media newtworks. What did i do that was so different? Think about it?!?! I'm ONE in a Million. Tami Roman was disrespectful, Shaunie Oneal.& Evelyn Lozada were cool, in general i liked the ladies abd i enjoyed filming and had a good laugh.
Now there was supposed to be a reunion show but it was canceled. Were invited to be at the reunion?
Yes I would have been invited if there was one & it hadn't been cancelled.
Let's talk more about you. What do you actually do for a living?
I am a female rap artist and entertainer. A architect of music and culture. Music is my drug, I have been building my resume since the late 90's early 2000's. I also produce independent films and ink distribution deals for them. The latest project i have worked on was a film called Alexandria leaving with director John Zhao. I also wrote and produced rhe soundtrack/music for the movie. I will be making an appearance on this season's Love & Hip hop New York with Rich Dollaz and Erica Mena.
The social engineers are the creators who are the REAL Game changers. When you change the game you change the world! I'm a Marathon runner not a "Sprinter." I am in this for the Long haul not just for a "Check" lol I don't work for wages, I work for profit. I am very passionate, love, and live for what i do. Slow and steady WINS the race. Living legend, longevity. #WinnersCircle Do as thou Wilt #LoveIsLove. Stay Tuned!
