Can a Cheater Change? The Ladies Discuss RHOA’s Cynthia Bailey’s Comment on Fiancé Mike Hill’s Past
Adrienne Houghton: Cheating is cheating is cheating.
Adrienne: And I can only speak for myself. I have said before that I have absolutely cheated in a past relationship with my first boyfriend, um… who I was with for like ten years, so… It was- my first boyfriend wasn’t when I was three. I was already in my twenties. I knew what I was doing. I was aware of the decision I was making. And that’s how I view it. Every day you chose to make decisions and you can also choose not to make those same decisions again.
Jeannie Mai: So, you’re saying a cheater can change his stripes.
Adrienne: I absolutely think a cheater can change because I believe that I have changed. I’ve changed so much! Even if you watch from the first season of The Real to now, I’ve changed who I am as a person and I have the right to evolve.
Tamera Mowry-Housley: Wait. Can I ask you a question, though?
Adrienne: Yeah.
Tamera: How many times have you cheated in a relationship?
Adrienne: In that relationship, I was reckless!
Amanda Seales: You was wild.
Adrienne: I was reckless.
Tamera: So you cheated- but, have you ever cheated…
Adrienne: Yes, because I was with the same guy from fifteen to twenty five.
Tamera: Okay, but this is what I’m saying… there’s a difference between…
Adrienne: Wanted to see what was out there, people!
Tamera: There’s a difference between someone cheating and someone making it a lifestyle out of cheating. You see what I’m saying?
Adrienne: Yes, I do recognize that, as well.
Jeannie Mai: And then I have to add in that there are some people that can’t help but cheat. I’m not excusing it, but some people are sexaholics.
Tamera: Sexual addiction.
Jeannie: Yeah. Some people have…
Adrienne: Okay, then you have the right to go get help to fix yourself. But. I’m saying it’s still a decision you make.
Amanda: For her- for her to be comfortable, I feel like he needs to state his acknowledgement of why he cheated. You know? He needs to state how he’s changed. And he has to-
Tamera: Show it.
Amanda & Tamera: And show it!
Amanda: The action. You can’t just be like, “I ain’t a cheater no more.”
Loni Love: And he did. He did.
Amanda: Okay, so he…
Loni: For him. Yeah.
Jeannie: Tell us.
Adrienne: He says that he met her at the right time, right?
Loni: Yeah. He’s- he’s writ- I know Mike Hill. Very nice man. He has written a memoir. And in the memoir he’s explaining how he grew and what- and the mistakes he made with the cheating and things like that. And the thing is, I think you know, you can change especially as you get older. Some men, they’re unhappy. He married when he was young and then he tried again. You know he keeps trying and he thinks he can get it right. And I think this time he believes he’s got it right. And I just hope the best for him.
