NFL star Chad Ochocinco recently completed and interview with Essence Magazine where he discussed his new show, Ochocinco: The Ultimate Catch, which debut this past Sunday on VH1 and all the flack that he received from black women on his lack of color in his final section.
Here’s what he had to say:
ESSENCE.com: Your show “Ochocinco: The Ultimate Catch” premiered on Sunday and you’ve caught a lot of flack because you only chose two Black women. How do you feel about that?
OCHOCINCO: I don’t understand why. Those who know me didn’t think twice about it because they already know how I am. I deal with all types of women. My mind set is that I think outside the box. I’m all over the place and I want to experience everything. There’s nothing wrong with [Black women] at all. If I did it the way they wanted though, there still would have been something to fuss about. It’s a lose-lose for me because no matter how I do it, there’s going to be an argument. I did Wendy Williams yesterday and I said for those who are offended about it, I apologize. But if you ever run into me, you’d date me.
ESSENCE.com: Are you surprised that Black women feel the way they do about your show? Continue reading »
