Singer Mary J. Blige is one of the actresses of new movie “Mudbound” and as part of the promotion of the movie, she as well as other stars of the movie are on the cover of Variety Magazine’s latest issue.
Apart from the movie, Mary J. Blige also opens up about her marriage and ongoing divorce.
Here’s what she had to say:
Mary on her failed marriage to Kendu Isaacs and their divorce: “I used a lot of my own heaviness from my own misery that I was living in that horrible marriage. I was just dying in it. I knew something was wrong. I just couldn’t prove it. I just had all the heaviness of not feeling right, not feeling good. I gave it to Florence.”
Mary on the aftermath of her divorce: “I’m doing OK. I’m living. I’m not happy about a lot of things. I thought someone loved me, right? Turns out, he was a con artist and he didn’t, and now he’s coming after me for all my money. When you come out of something like that, you realize you were never the one. There was someone else that was his queen. I got played. I got suckered. I have to keep smiling and keep my spirits up because this is designed to kill me.”

This is a classical example of life is not fair. Well, don’t give up because there’s still a man out there that will appreciate you.
When I look at how unlucky in love Mary J Blige has Been throughout her adult life…it begs the question of whether everyone is indeed meant to be with someone else. Maybe some peoples happily ever after doesn’t include another person. Not just Mary J Blige but some other women and men who have encountered grave heartbreak over and over again from different relationships. Are we all meant to Be with someone else or there is a greater calling wherein our happiness is ordained to be derived via other means? Just a question I have pondered . I mean K C from K c and Jojo really messed up Mary J Blige. We were all glad she found love after that. Now look at this? Or isn’t women who will tell you 5 men have cheated on them in the span of 6 years. How do you begin to recover from that and be normal again?
My dear, what happens is a lot of us are IMPATIENT, INSECURE AND SEARCHING FOR LOVE. With this as a starting point..it will ALWAYS be a disaster.
Looking for a man, a job, a house, a car, an outfit (insert other worldly pursuits) to sustain your happiness is just simply BLINDNESS.
what business do you have searching for love when love already found you….JESUS ALREADY DIED FOR YOU and gave you access to GOD…. and God says “come to me and I will give you everything that is GOOD for you”
Chasing happiness….is called SETTLING FOR LESS… BECAUSE HAPPINESS DEPENDS ON WHAT IS HAPPENING. There is something called JOY. It has nothing to do with whatever you’re experiencing on earth….
I’m not always happy but i ALWAYS HAVE JOY..in fact i have DANCED more in times when i had least…..my secret is a TRUE AND INTIMATE RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD. There is nothing like when I’m going though a tough time and God tells me ” Fear not, I will NEVER leave you”…girrrrrll i JUMP UP AND I START DANCING. i have heard people say ” but why is Cocoa so happy..shouldn’t she be sad right now..didn’t this and that just happen?”
I only discovered Joy (God) about 3 years ago…. my life has never been the same.
To your question, the answer is YES..the Bible does tell us that some have the grace for lifelong singleness….that is why it is detrimental to not know your MAKER. How will you know yourself?
My advice to Mary will be to forgive him and move on. She is right..this is designed to kill her but not in the way she thinks. it is the BITTERNESS and UNFORGIVENESS that the devil intends to use to steal her soul but by the grace of God she will catch on to the agenda and leave it to God.
This life hen!Just a pot of beans!!!
Well said cocoa.
Mary, nobody can save you from yourself – All the while he was sapping your emotional waste you called love, you were giving him the reason to bill you in later years. Quit the blame game.
