“Wow, I’m stunned at the news I’m hearing right now. So, you said you couldn’t take it anymore, so what did you do?” Tatum asked.
“My thirteenth birthday Carol threw me a big celebrity birthday bash and told my mama she was having a sleepover for me and a couple of the other co-actors and she had staff watching over us so we would be good, but in all reality it was a night of just me and her. I will not get into details about that night but lets just say I had my first threesome at thirteen years old.”
“Oh, my goodness, this is so heart breaking. So, tell us what happened next what made you tell your mama?”
“After that night I felt horrible and couldn’t get my mind right and Carol’s exact words were,you’re of age now so man the fuck up, do you know how many men would have enjoyed the night we had. I keep telling you stop all that fucking crying or you and your mama will be back in the poor house.That right there showed me how much of a monster she was and if I didn’t stop this shit right now it would keep getting worse. So, when I got dropped off by Carol’s driver my mama was waiting in the doorway for me and the minute she asked, how was my night, and if I had fun, I broke down and fell to the floor crying. My mama had so much worry in her eyes it scared me.”
“Alright everyone we’re going to take a break we will be back in five minutes.” Tatum said turning her attention to me.
“Are you good, do you need a longer break?”
“No, I’m good just want to get this over with.”
“Alright cool, so this will be the last setting. I will asked what happen after you told your mama and what she did with the information. Then I will ask about you and your mama’s relationship. Then you will go into to telling us how you and Symphony got together and how much her and your kids mean to you.”
“Ok, my Media Frenzy watchers welcome back, we took a break and now we are back. Desmond Collins has let us in on some disturbing things that he’s been through living this Hollywood life. So, how did your mama react after you told her the news?”
“She helped me up and took me in the house and asked me everything that happened. Once I was done she laid me on the couch kissed my forehead told me she was sorry this happened to me. She then grabbed her purse and car keys and told me she would be right back. I assumed she went to pay Carol a visit, then next thing I know a couple of hours later she came back and woke me up. She then explained how we had enough money to move and start over somewhere else fresh and I didn’t have to worry about Carol Peterson again.”
“Desmond Collins, I truly appreciate you doing this interview for me. I feel like this will help so many people that are going through this in silence. So, after all of that you still maintain to live a successful life. You have three children and a beautiful wife. How do they play a part in your happily ever after?” Tatum asked.
“They are my happily ever after, see men are always known to be the strong ones. So, when people hear stories like this they are judged as being weak. One thing about me is I’m going to go to therapy weekly or as much as needed. I’m going to always lead my family in the right direction. And where I lack, my wife has my back, which is why I knew from the beginning she was my person she was the one I needed in my corner through all of this. I’m able to be the man of the house and when I’m having a weak moment she doesn’t judge me she makes me remember just how strong I am. So, never ever think for a moment that you can’t end up having a happy ending after a dark past.”
“Well, y’all heard it here first on Media Frenzy, never think for a moment that you can’t end up having a happy ending after a dark past. Desmond Collins thank you so much for this interview. Media Frenzy watchers thanks for tunning in and we will be back with another exclusive that’s connected to this so stay tune.” Tatum said ending the show. Just like that the interview was over and I didn’t feel bad about it at all.
“You did great baby, and I’m so proud of you.” Symphony said while walking over to me and sitting on my lap.
“Thank you, baby, and once again I wouldn’t be able to do this without you. You’re definitely my rib.” I said causing her to smile right before she kissed my lips. I wasn’t even going to lie this interview was just what I needed it was like a weight had lifted off my shoulders. All the camera men packed up their things and headed out. While me Symphony, Tatum, and Poetic stayed at my house and enjoyed some dinner and each other’s company.
