Earlier today, we told you that Brian McKee took to Instagram to deny rumors that he is dating fellow VH1 star Momma Dee. Naturally, we were slightly confused because earlier in the week, Momma Dee told us that they were seeing each other. We were given the opportunity to speak with Brian today, who further reiterated that the nature of their relationship is strictly platonic.

“Well first of all, I have the utmost respect for Momma Dee and her family,” Brian told us. “They’re really, really nice people. I actually got to meet them in Atlanta. We were both attending and working at the DUB Show, that’s where we met and that’s where those photos came from. There’s a photo earlier in that day of the both of us at the DUB Show. Then, there’s a photo of us later on at her house. That’s the photo that’s being shown around and it looks as though it’s just me there with her and we’re cozying up in the house. The truth of the matter is that there was a bunch of us that went there. My brother was there. Some friends of mine were there. You know, we all kind of went there and hung out.”

Brian expressed that he was not trying to shame Momma Dee or make her look bad because she is a great person, but found it necessary to clear his name.

“I’ve gotten to know her. She’s a really good person, really down to earth and we really have become friends, but we’re not romantically involved. We’ve been talking and that sort of thing, but I’m really just going through my divorce with Drea. I’m not really seeing anybody like that.”

He went on to say that he’s not really sure how their relationship was perceived as romantic.

“I don’t know how things got misconstrued or how it got out there that we’re dating because that’s just not true.”

“I’ve met a lot of people in this business and again, she’s one of the nicest people I have met. She has been down to earth.”

As for why Momma Dee was under the impression that they were more than friends, Brian said:

“I think it was just miscommunication. Like I said, I speak to her maybe once or twice a week or sometimes not at all. Again, we’re not at each other’s throats. We’re not mad at each other, like I said, we’re cool. I’m not interested in throwing her under the bus because again, she’s a good friend of mine.

I just didn’t want the public out there thinking that. Obviously, I’ve gotten a lot of bad press from the ‘Hollywood Exes’ thing and people thinking that I’m an opportunist and I’m trying to get on ‘Love & Hip Hop.’ I’m just not on that. I’m just not trying to do that, nor has ‘Love & Hip Hop’ or any of their producers approached me about being on the show. I also saw reports that I was going to be the next one going to the show. That’s just not true.”

And there you have it. Thoughts?
