During a March interview with 99 JAMZ host Supa Cindy, Kalysha actually bragged about her lethal responses to naysayers.

“I feel like when people say ignorant things they deserve an ignorant response,” the television personality said. “However, I like to be entertaining, I don’t wanna be bored. … All the haters are boring and dry, so why not liven it up a little bit, put you in your place and give ’em a little chuckle.”

Kalysha first got her big break on “Love and Hip Hop: Hollywood” in 2014. She would later quit the show due to what she said was her being portrayed in a negative light. She added, “I didn’t like the situations I was being put in. It ended up being a lot of situations that in my real life would never occur.”

The “GUHHATL” star is the ex-girfriend of singer Fetty Wap, whom she shares 3-year-old Kharie Barbie Maxwell with.
