    these spanish women that yall keep glorifying is killing the game on ALL the reality shows… hmmm maybe sistaz can get on telemundo and spanish reality shows ! hahaha

    • TORRES

      First of all she is not Spanish! Spanish women are white European try Penelope Cruz Govan is half black she is Blaxican and only dates black men and is into black culture alone. Also, dark skinned part Hispanics like the Govans would not be welcomed on telemundo and other spanish speaking reality shows since they only want to portray white Latina women WHO LOOK SPANISH.

      • UdonNo

        exactly my point– LAtino and spanish women know they have a better shot at making it in Black media than they do in their own spanish speaking media. JLo .rosie perez, etc never would have made it if they started on univision!

        • Marisol

          I don’t know what Latino/Spanish woman who makes it in black media since Laura is Black and Mexican. Therefore the Govans can and should make it in black media since they are part black. The crime is that JLO and Rosie can’t make it at all on Hispanic media they are rejected outright.

          • UdonNo

            absolutely wrong–J-lo is now making millions in latin meda thru commercials, tv shows, etc–she even did a few spanish albums. Also just look at all the latinas in the reality shows!! love and hip hop NY is almost all latina girls that blacks have promoted! Latina now know they can easily get into the hip hop industry and make money off of brothers…lol can any brother go on a spanish network –ha!

            • NYC

              Excuse me but those girls are not latina they certainly don’t look like it and we can’t help it if they chase after and throw themselves at black men. Those women wouldn’t stand a chance on any Spanish speaking TV. So don’t get it twisted it’s not our fault if they reject their own and their culture.

              • UdonNo

                what? so Puerto Ricans and Dominicans are not latina? And you’re right they wouldnt stand a chance on spanish tv cuz spanish tv is racist to their own kind! spanish tv only supports white looking people like Ricky martin. If you only watched spanish tv you would think all latin countries only had white people hahaha.

    Why does her kids look unkept, but she looks like a million bucks? Typical self-centered mixed, high yellow broad.

  • outofthebox

    I had to turn my volume up. She whispers too much

  • luvleigh

    the photo that they even used for comparison, she was no where near 220 in that picture. She may have been 165, maybe, shes lost like 25-35 lbs since then. I feel she was trying to compete with her sister… But either way she looked fine to me. There is nothing wrong with being that size she was in the 1st season of the show. Everyone cares weight differently and confidence goes a lot further than whats on the scale. Not sure how race and what black men prefer, who is home alone… even got into the conversation

  • blackroses

    Gloria is not launching the line- Its Laura. You guys have the sisters’ names confused

    I have to get use to her being thin but she looks fantastic.

  • Joce

    Kir12 what crawled up your butt!!! That was rude…

  • Reese

    I liked Gloria better on the thicker side. She is too skinny now. But if she likes it, I love it. I hope her business ventures are fruitful. And that her and Gilbert can make it down the aisle.

    • KIR12

      Newsflash! She’s not trying to look good for you and the fat black women brigade, who like you, insist that men prefer black women fat. While the overwhelming majority of you are alone and have no man. She’s looking good for herself and her husband.

      • TeahMonae

        Wow! That was totally uncalled for.

        • KIR12

          Why is it ok for fat black women to talk about how bad someone small looks. But wrong for anyone to say anything about them?

      • Mrembokidosho

        It’s called an opinion and everyone is entitled to one!…first read through clearly&carefully before going after somebody like that!

      • MLS2698

        Calm down. And Laura……. she ain’t married.

      • Reese

        Usually, I don’t respond to trolls like yourself. But for your information, I’m actually a personal trainer. I never said Gloria looks bad, like I said if she likes it I love it.

        • KIR12

          I ain’t never seen a 200 pound woman who wouldn’t looked better if she
          lost 30 or 40+ pounds. Please don’t talk to me about some 5’11 6ft
          woman. Black women are walking around looking like Rasputia thinking
          they look good. Please, stop it.

          If actually you are, you’re a broke, incompetent personal trainer. If they look like her, is that what you tell you’re clients (they’re too skinny)? lol You think this woman looked better at 224 pounds with her dam stomach hanging over phuscie? B!tc|-| please! Black women are the only women who think they look better fat and actually go around talking about how good they look.

      This is about LAURA not GLORIA!!
