It’s been just over a month since Evelyn Lozada got into a domestic dispute with husband, Chad Johnson, which ultimately ended her marriage and turned her life upside down.
After lying low for quite some time, Evelyn originally reemerged with a revealing interview on ABC’s Dateline in late August. After the interview, Evelyn went back into hiding until showcasing an emotional therapy session with Iyanla Vanzant on her show, Fix My Life, just this weekend. During her emotional session with Iyanla, Evelyn got down to the core, revealing her deepest insecurities.
Some of the highlights from part one of the two part episode reveal:
Evelyn On why she decided to change her ways:
[My step-daughters] were really the inspiration for why I had that ‘Ah ha’ moment because when you’re filming, you’re not thinking about who is watching the show. The older one Chade goes ‘I seen when you were on the television..’ you know me throwing the bottle and I was so embarrassed and then I said to myself ‘What is going on?’ and then I joking told them ‘That wasn’t me’ and they were like ‘Yes it was you Evelyn’ and then they thought it was wonderful and them I’m like mortified. I’m like ‘Oh my god’.
On giving Chad permission to cheat:
Me and [Chad] have real open conversations on this lifestyle. This is all I’ve seen being really good friends with other women who are married and in relationships with these men, in this world that I just live in. So many things happen, not just to men, to woman also. You see so much. […] I said if there’s ever a feeling or a thought in your mind that you want to go there I’d rather know about it. I’d rather know about it than him sneak around. If [he] is in a place where he feels like he has a desire to be with someone else or … because I get it, I get what temptation is.
On what scares her the most about her marriage:
That where going to end up divorced like everyone else
On who she believes she is:
I am Evelyn Lozada, someone that’s becoming a servant of God.
At the end of Part 1, Evelyn met with Chad’s daughters and apologized for not being a good example for them:
[Cries] I just want to tell you guys that I’m sorry for being a bad example. I am now your Step-mother, your dad’s wife and I haven’t always handled things the right way and I don’t want you guys to do what I’ve done. So I am here to tell you that I am sorry for doing that, I want your forgiveness.
After leaving it all out in the open, Evelyn resurfaced on Twitter, responding to fans and showing more vulnerability than ever.
After tweeting to dozens of fans last night thanking them for their love and support, Evelyn signed off tweeting:
With lots of support from friends and family, we are happy to see Evelyn getting back on track.
