She is a beautiful person and an awesome singer. And she doesn't owe any an explanation.

Stacy Lattisaw was my Whitney Houston before Whitney!! Loved her voice and songs!!! Miss you Stacy!! I still listen to your old songs!!!

I have not seem Stacy Lattisaw in years. I enjoyed this interview. I am happy she found happiness in her life.

Stacy is classy. She could have told his truth and she didn’t.

5:42 - "Hurt people hurt people."

So true!

This is how things get distorted. Johnny Gill never said Stacy or her Mom was racist. He stated in interviews that management personnel told him that her mother didn’t like the fact that he was dark skin. Now she may not have said or thought that but the point is Johnny never accused Stacy of anything and on this interview the host continued to push the false narrative.

She knew his truth, and did what she was supposed to do. Leave him to his true self.

I am just getting to watch this. Stacy, you are the best and you have reinforced my respect for you. "Hurt people, hurt people". What a statement! How true! Thank you for not talking about what led to the breakup. You go girl and stay true to the faith. Best wishes always.

Now that's a woman with integrity.

Stacy is lying. I remember years ago Stacy did an interview, Where "she" said (Her Mother) was a colorist and hated being around dark skin people (Even though Stacy's mother is black herself). Her mother didn't want Jonny singing with Stacy because she felt (Jonny) being very dark skin would hurt Stacy's career. Look up the interview... That's what Stacy said. Now, years later Stacy is changing the story. Colorism and Racism are two totally different things.

The truth is she broke off the relationship because Johnny Gill was going in through the out door! Good move baby girl; it’s dangerous out here! But dude’s lifestyle choices will come to the light of day. Just like Dwight Howard…

I love 💕 Stacey, always kept her reputation and character upright.

2023 i still listen to Stacy Lattisaw ❤ her

[dkthzgq]

Yet, another black woman protecting a black man who does not share that same protection for her. Black women it's ok to defend yourselves by telling the truth. Silence is violence. Suffering in silence means that person will do this again. He recently spoke about the same thing and implied the same thing. Stacy, you need to tell people what really happened and set the record straight

[missbee]

She is a classy lady. Listening to her and "reading between the lines" u can deduce why She broke up with Him.

My family grew up in the same neighborhood as Stacy and her family did and they all said that all of the kids in the hood would be hanging around them cause they would have mad fun in front of their house, the back yard and even in their basement, which is where they used to have talent shows and everybody was treated the same, regardless of their shade. They even said that these allegations about Stacy and her mom being colorist is bull and that mean a lot cause my family are brutally honest people.

[LULOHANFYAH]

Great interview. Stacy was raised right. I have always admired her. She is also very talented. It is nice to see she her all grown up and that she still has traces of the sweet girl that was introduced to the world many years ago! I hope she has moved on. Her fans don't care about Johnny Gill's accusations.

[derekeady]

I'm not saying she isn't telling the truth but come on yall, we can't totally dismiss what either are saying. It's not like colorism isn't real in our community especially in the 80s and 90s.

[michellenichols]

A true woman of God he will bless you and defend you. I understand sometimes the movies will embellish the truth but sometimes you have to say at what cost. Stacey you're right forgive and let God handle your press release.

[akinyianderson]

I really like the way she handled this. Stacey you don't owe anyone anything, this is your story. Love, a sista-girl
