Why did you stop speaking to Crystal? Was it because she lost the weight?
That's honestly not why I stopped talking to her. Honestly, the reason why I grew so distant from her is because the second you started having that surgery and losing all that weight, I loved you for it. I never stopped loving you and supporting you no matter what the hell happened. I always had your back. All that crap talking you were talking about, you know it had nothing to do with me. Nothing. I knew nothing about those certain people talking about you. You knew that. That's why I was only in school with you for a little bit. No matter what, we were friends outside. But once you lost all that weight, you distanced yourself from me, okay? You blocked me out. You blocked me out of your life. You kicked me out of your life. And you know what? All I wanted you to fucking at least acknowledge the fact that it's not me, okay? I didn't distance myself from you. You pushed me away. You were having the time of your life being thin. I understand that, but you blocked me out. And I don't know if you were alive or dead. I didn't know what the hell was happening with you.
She keeps saying that. That there's a situation that when you lost the weight that you being proud, having your time.
The confidence.
Yeah, the confidence that you, that's why there was a distance. Do you believe that to be true?
I don't see it that way. I see it in the way of I moved a lot. I can kind of see what she's saying to the point of that's her perspective, you know? And we honestly, we have never talked about this before. So this, I'm glad I finally get to hear her side.
Yeah.
Of this because now she's hearing my side of how I felt. This is where—
I agree.
We need the help.
Kimberly, Crystal believes that you were jealous of her. Was there any ever jealousy?
I was ever jealous? I was more threatened sometimes considering the fact that, I'm sorry, but when you slept with my ex-boyfriend, you lost your virginity to him. That was before you lost the weight, okay? And that broke my heart. Why you keeping my past a mystery? I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, is this true? No, no, you don't have to apologize. You get it out, but I wanna know.
I'm not exactly sure. The one she's speaking of, this is like way, like we're talking about way back in the day, like kids.
High school, yeah.
We're kids. So I mean, to hear that now, it's like, well, I guess that's why we're both here is we have all this built up. Like she sees it that way, I see it in the way of—
So I just wanna acknowledge, did you? Did you have sexual relations with her ex when you were kids?
When we were kids, honestly, I can't remember if it was her boyfriend or not or her ex. I'm not entirely sure. I can't remember that far back, but it could have been.
Okay.
And if that's the case, I would gladly apologize right now.
