‘She’s Definitely Mad at Ray J’: Princess Love Reenacts Salad Scene from ‘Diary of a Mad Black Woman,’ and Fans Bring Up Her Estranged Husband

Princess Love had her fans rolling after sharing a video of herself reenacting the salad scene from the Tyler Perry movie, “Diary of a Mad Black Woman.” 

The 2005 film starred Kimberly Elise, Steve Harris and Shemar Moore and became popular for one dramatic scene known as “the salad scene.”

Elise’s character, Helen was dumped by her cheating husband — played by Harris — and was literally dragged out of her home as her husband’s mistress looked on. After Harris’ character suffered a debilitating accident, the mistress left him. An angry Helen returned to care for her wayward husband and get revenge.

Fans of the film have been reenacting the scene for years, and Love threw her hat into the ring as well with a TikTok video shared on Instagram on March 31. Love captioned the post “Christinaaaa,” followed by a talking and laughing-crying emoji.

Fans loved the reenactment and joked that Love must be mad at Ray J, who is currently divorcing her.

One fan wrote, “This was my favorite Classic Movie of Tyler Perry that he made @tylerperry! “DAIRY OF A MAD BLACK WOMAN!!!” [laughing crying emojis] On point Princess.”

“As soon as I heard the cry I knew it was my movie!!!” wrote another Instagram user. “#diaryofamadblackwoman.”

“I recite this every time I eat salad,” joked another fan.

Another fan, apparently not familiar with the Tyler Perry film, thought the video was hilarious nonetheless. “I don’t even know what’s going on here but it’s hilarious [laughing crying emoji].”

One Instagram user joked that Love must be upset with Ray J. “Leo’s are the best! But she’s definitely mad at RAYJ! [laughing crying emojis].” You can watch Love in the reenactment below.

This is the third time the couple called it quits. Back in 2020, Ray J filed for divorce from the reality star, but they reconciled. Then several months later, Princess filed, but they eventually worked things out again. In October 2021, the “One Wish” singer filed yet again and while they are still not together, Princess recently told TMZ that she would be open to to another possible reconciliation.

Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
