The Real co-host Loni Love is facing backlash from viewers after she broke down on the show, crying that Back women do not know how to eat healthily.
Love gushed about the success she had had with Weight Watchers but said that Black women who grew up in the projects had not been taught about the importance of healthy eating.
âLet me tell yâall, I did not know how to eat,â she said as she wept. âGrowing up in the projects, we just had to eat what we could. I know it sounds funny, but a lot of women in the African-American community, we donât know how to eat because we grew up that way. So Iâm trying to tell yâall, thank you to WW, because we wanted to do this to help our brothers and sistersâ everybody, but I see yâall. I see yâall at my comedy shows, and youâre like, âWe need to get healthier,â and thatâs the reason weâre doing this. Itâs just to make yâall aware of whatâs happening in the community. You can eat and not starve and you can still lose weight. Thatâs the reason weâre doing this.â
As you can imagine, her words did not go down too well with the showâs Black audience.
Love was called out for speaking for the entire demographic by viewers, was dragged on Twitter for her flippant remarks.
