Monica and Shannon Brown Are Engaged
Last night, while the entire blogosphere was buzzing about R&B Diva Monica’s engagement to Lakers guard Shannon Brown, I received a phone call from a family member who asked to remain anonymous.
First and foremost, congratulations to Monica and Shannon! He proposed to her last week and gave her a beautiful 10 carat rock which Mo wore during her appearance on the 5th Annual Black Girls Rock Awards. Black love is beautiful!
After Mo’s stylist tweeted a photo of her rock on Twitter.com, Mo took to her Twitter page and tweeted:
We realize people will have their opinions. That’s the way of the world. But we know who we are & who’s we are. We pray 2 an awesome God 2gether And that is what keeps us strong. So for all my real supporters who are happy for me. I thank u, I love u, & I’m realistic enough about life To know my journey has just begun. I don’t have anything else to say about it. 2 people who judge. If u worked on self u wouldn’t even see me.
The family member had exclusive details about the engagement that she only shared with Sandrarose.com.
She said Shannon proposed to Monica last Tuesday in front of both sets of parents in a very intimate setting.
The family member said Shannon wanted to break the big news to both sides of the family because “they wanted it to be private and intimate and amongst family because family is most important to them.”
She said the couple met in June, 2010, on the set Mo’s video shoot for “Love All Over Me”. She said they will continue the courtship with each other even though they are engaged. In other words, the wedding will not take place next week, or any time soon, until they are ready.
She said Monica is extremely happy and she’s telling friends that she has “never ever ever” been treated with such love and respect by a man, ever! She is stress free because her man doesn’t live in the nightclubs.
Both Mo and Shannon have great relationships with their respective parents. According to the family member, the entire family will meet Shannon at Monica’s birthday bash in LA this coming weekend.
My source said, “Now that Shannon has taken the relationship to the next level, everyone will meet, the kids included.”
She said this relationship is “extremely serious” to him. They both have a mutual respect for one another.
Monica’s 30th birthday bash in LA on Sunday will feature a pink carpet. All proceeds from the event will be donated to breast cancer research.

Finally
Me thinks this isn’t going to work out but best wishes to them.
So you mean to tell me all that time her and Rocko were together but not married she was the one that didn’t want to marry?
Yeah right!
Congrats to them. Str8Cpt, her odds were better finding and marrying someone she just met vs. continuing to be strung along by Roco.
Am I the only one who doesn’t think that Shannon is cute? congrats to them though and hope it last?
Damn…Shannon ain’t wasting no time! FINALLY! I’m so happy for her…she was selling herself short for far too long!!
IM SO HAPPY FOR THEM! I love them as a couple….yay for them!
I think they are a good looking couple! I a m happy for Monica! She deserves it!
LADIES THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH TAKING TIME TO HEAL ADN GET TO KNOW YOURSELF AS A PERSON BEFORE JUMPING INTO ANOTHER RELATIONSHIP…
I WISH THEM THE BEST THIS WORLD CAN OFFER…
THAT IS ALL
I have very mixed feelings about this whole thing BUT I can see the happines written all over Mo’s face and hear the happines in Shannon’s tweets (they were posted somewhere else) so I’m just like whatever. This is how things go in Hollywood anyway. If she likes it I love it and that ring is a BANGER!!!!
Mo got a fiance without a prison record and with a functioning mouth, no drool

congrats mo. im happy for whoever is happy. folks gonna complain its 2 soon and this and that but its people who “date” 5-6 years then be married for 6 months. its no rules to the lovebook just do what makes you happy and feels good inside.
Why did she have it on her right hand and then switch?
NICA we talkin bout.
Then again, it is M
She goin prolly pawn it for some goon she fuggin anyway.
Congrats to this both
I meant to say them both lol
@ Anna..I agree
@ Civil…I agree too.
I think she was selling herself short and had been for far to long.
Rocko: Nigga
Shannon: Man
Congrats Monica! And why are u wearing the ring on your right hand???
@Man…………why do you dislike Mo??
I love me some Monica, Yall know I do, But what I could have done without was that Shannon tattoo, she got away with it with Rocko, because she named her son after him, but Mo’ come on .. I love you but no ma’am…. But they make a really cute couple. He seems like a nice guy and I am glad she is moving away from the thugs.. Hope this works out for her!
I am excited for her…ROCKO served the purpose by giving Monica two beautiful children…..(so for that we thank you ROCKS)
I believe this will last a long time…I am rooting for you and your family Monica!!!!!!!
awww, congrats!!!! Its nothing like Black Love
Intimate and private but you telling everyone the business, and you’re marrying him and he hasn’t met the kids so you don’t know how he’ll get along with the kids? Isn’t Keyshis Cole engaged to a b ball player, too?
So when does she get the new tattoo and when is the baby due?
*sniff sniff*
That is so sweet
Big ups on the party proceeds going to Breast Cancer awareness.
I’m an old-fashioned girl. I believe in what they used to call “courtship.” It used to be that men and women became friends (not overnight friends), but they got to know each other in the good times and bad. You know when you first “fall in love” you go through the honeymoon stage. Everything looks good then. It’s very risky to marry someone right off the bat. I’m not saying there are any guarantees even after knowing someone for years, but I will not play Russian Roulette with something so serious as marriage as making a person my LIFE LONG partner, but that’s just me.
I wish them the very best, and I hope it lasts!
@man
the iPhone reverses orientation
Man the iphone flips the image. SR posters there are somethings that don’t require any clowning, just congratulate them, you know when its right, why play games.

I can always count on you to state your opinion and make me laugh!
Lol to EVERYONE who anticipated Auntie Sandy would give some “inside scoop” on this story. I’m happy for Monica and Shannon. I’m glad she found someone who values her worth. I’m glad they don’t give 2 sh*ts what people say!
Me wonders: “How you go from being a baby mama TWICE with a dude you been with for at LEAST 5 years on some “ride or die” hood $hit one minute, to getting cheated on on Thursday and being engaged to someone else the following Tuesday?
Really? You spent that much time with a dude and STILL didn’t really know him because he cheated on you (even though you walked around with the persona that you were THAT chick that it couldn’t happen to) and now you know THIS dude long enough to marry him?
Hollywood really DOESNT work like the real world.
*side eye*
@msashland I know you know mo on a personal level but you know that was for her son. To each his own, if you don’t like it then so be it, she does and apparentlyhe does too.

She got a man now
Congrats to Mo! Who vex dead…..
Some people just have to be with someone. It’s kind of sad when you can’t take the time to love and get to know yourself by yourself.
So I guess wh have a new reality show to tune into – ‘Monica and Shannon: To Thee I Wed’ Tuesday nights on BET
Get it monica, Girl I am so freaking happy for you…..ain’t nothing like real love, when real love’s LOVE’S you back….

Excuse me?
Now that ladies and gentlemen is what we call an upgrade.
I got some Snake Oil to sell to Shannon “Cap’n Save a Hoe” Brown. Nigga GOT to be on some Shaq type chit or something.
M
NICA’s own baby daddy wouldn’t “mawry” her azz after two kids and YEARS together and this nigga “found out” he was in love AFTER he signed his GUARANTEED contract this summer????? 
Plus he in Cali, that means half his money goin be going to some goon real soon. SMH.
And they wonder why athletes go broke.
So Shannon knows he wants to spend the rest of his life with MO & he hasn’t even meet her kids .
Congrats to Monica and Shannon! Wish them the best
so nice! im happy for Monica, finally, great choice! stay strong mo and look 2 the hills!! yo MO! u and KC are showin out huh???? #showout
@Jerrica –
Hey girl! When do you start school?
I am happy for them both. Hopefully they take after TI and Tiny. I wish them nothing but blessings.
Oops there was supposed to be a don’t in there. “Hopefully they don’t take after TI and Tiny”.
awww, Monica Bday Bash is on my bday YAY!!!! Nice that the proceeds going to th breast cancer..
#noshade #arealquestion Good mothers marry men their children have never met? Is it because the children are boys and therefore not subject to the worries that daughters would bring (moving too fast, leadingby example or molestation)? If I packed up and got married to a man I meanit’s just me and the plants.
They say folks without kids never get an opinionon things but am I really coming from that far left? I believe in love at first sight and all that but doesn’t someone have to consider the children?

I know a couple who dated for 5+ years, got married and divorced within the first year. So time doesn’t mean anything. If it feels right go for it!
Congrats Mo and Shannon let the jealousy, envy and foolishness continue. Have fun with the ignorance.
KrayZKat: Hey Chica! I was suppose to start today but my advisor had some sort of emergency so I’ll start tomorrow which is good, because my nephew got sick last night and we had to take him to the hospital and didn’t get home until 3:30 this morning.
**Paging Kingston** Did you get too see Drake? or do i have the wrong weekend?
What kinda tat is that in the 2nd pic? Please don’t tell me that say Shannon????
People read before you comment. The wedding is not tomorrow, the families will meet. you all so reaching for **** thats not their.
Who’s jealous? Wow I didn’t know stating your opinion meant being jealous but okay.
Ebony says:

~~~~~~
I didn’t know that, kids are deal breakers. If my kids didn’t get along w/my husband and vice versa it’s not worth getting married if you have to referee all day.
Danielle84: They say is does say his name, but I haven’t seen a good enough picture yet to see.
As long as Monica is happy, I am happy. She’s grown so there is no need for folks to be complaining. The folks complaining is usually the folks that are miserable. Married my hubby after 7 months of dating and our 17th anniversary is coming up in Jan. We were 20 and 22. Love has no timelines or rules. If the man loves and respect her and the feeling is mutual, why not?
Congrats Mo!
AWWwwwwwwwwww Oh Im so GLAD…Im so So SO so GLAD, that Monica is finally getting what she deserves…now people who think its impossible to find the one who was made for you out there…see wut happened before our eyes….she has been thru so much, her dude committing suicide, to her other love getting locked up over and over again and then marrying his baby mama, Young buck and his baby mama drama, Rocko and that bullshyt….even tho the kids turned out LOVELY
and now FINALLY a dude comes along and does it the RIGHT way!!! CONGRATULATION MONICA SWEETIE!!!!!!!! 
GOOD CATCH, and NICE ROCK!!
I didn’t know the ring was 10 karats. I heard 4.
Congrats to Mo!
The kids havent met? :/

It just goes to show that you can be with someone for 5 yrs and not know them, but meet someone and know more about them than the person you wasted 5 yrs. on.

Hey sweetie. Aw man, I hope lil man is okay. How is he doing now? I know how long those emergency room visits can be. It’s a good thing school was postponed.
Yay Monica! Get that man girl! Bout time you got someone who’s worthy
Fine, rich, God fearing, and respectful! Mmm Mmm Mmm I’m jealous!
sooooo happy for mo congrats to her and him
is beutiful 
Funny that she has on the EXACT same style ring from her video “Love All Over Me” with him in it……
Maino prolly just figuring out he wasn’t REALLY in a relationship with Monica and that it was “for pretend.”
Poor retard.

I second that
KrayZKat: Yeah, we went to providence and I just knew it was going to take forever, but we got him checked in and was called right away and got a room quick so that was good, but they took forever to do nothing, but give him a little pill and some soda and go home.
As far as the ring on the right hand, some ppl do that while they’re engaged and switch to the left on the day of marriage. In regards to ppl saying they haven’t known one another long enough, it’s really a matter of how much and how indepth they talk. She could have expressed her every thought and desire to him in these last 4mos and the way ppl describe Rocko, maybe they didn’t have such meaningful conversations in the time they were together. They may also have a long engagement. It’s not like they’re already married. I know a guy who’s dad met his mom when she got off her bus on the wrong stop in the middle of nowhere. They got married a month later, they’re still together and he’s 40 now.
Mo said early on the boys havent met him but im sure they have at least met by now
Congrats Mo!!!!! Wishin you and Shannon the best of luck.
ALOT of words & thoughts come to MY Mind…
Compulsive, Too Emotional, Rebound, Newness, Star-Struck, TATTOOS, Ex Babay-Daddy, Ex Baby-Mama, NBA Basketball season, Etc, Etc, Etc
But I GUESS my main thought is…
WHY IS TWITTER SO F-ing ACTIVE in Monica’s Personal-n-Private LIFE
Congrats Mo!!! Love is still here. May GOD guide, strengthen and keep you and Shannon!!!! So genuinely excited for he both of them.
I’m so happy for Monica. If they have enough love and respect for one another, and he is there for her babies, then more power to them.
Just like there are people who just meet and then get married, there are people who dated for five years or more and are still married. Like everyone says love has no time. I’m just a person who likes to know people for awhile and be friends before I jump in a relationship. Nobody’s knocking her. Like I saids before, congrats Mo.
Jerrica – it’s great they checked him in quickly, but didn’t even diagnose his problem. Unfortunately, from my experience with my mom, that’s how medicine seems to be “practiced” in nowadays. I hope he is feeling better.
congrats to them both

I wish old Hollywood would come back. There is no mystery, suspense anymore. I don’t need to see Demi Moore’s tooth out of her head while she is sitting in a Dentist chair. I don’t need to see a celeb picking up their dogs poop. I wish they all would stay off of twitter.
@Elove, now you know that the only way to make yourself feel important and get the dix jumpers to make you feel good is to put it on twitter.
KrayZKat: Yeah I know. My mom used to work there so when we come in they hurry and get us back there. She can still call til this day and get us in, but he’s fine now, just laying down and his dad will be picking him up later on.

@misshar and @ChaCha, I am trying to not comment but yall two going t have me say sum. *clamped lips shut with an industrial sized clamp*
Jerrica – glad to hear he’s doing better. I hope will at least be able to enjoy most of your day.
how did i miss this post? i mean not that it’s news worthy to me
people get married all the time and i rarely speak on people’s relationships but i know ppl have been waiting for it 
@ BROWN
Don’t forget Facebook.
#BaphometSalute
KrayZKat: I hope so too, but I just went to check the mail and it’s cold as I don’t know what outside.
Jerrica – the weather could’ve fooled me. I’m looking out my patio window and it looks nice and warm, but we both know how it is here. I’ll be heading out soon, so thanks for the heads up.
@ CHA CHA great minds think alike cuz I just cant today
@ MS *passing you a bigger clamp*
@ DAP NOT @ MS
my fault
I HOPE HE TURNS OUT TO REALLY BE THE DECENT MAN THAT HE’S PORTRAYING! MONICA SEEMS LIKE GOOD GIRL! GOD BLESS THEIR UNION
KrayZKat: That’s exactly what I said. Fooled the hell outta me.
Several people have complained to me via email about MAN’s tweets disrupting the mature environment of the SR community. They suggest that I ban him to restore order. Since this is a democracy, the majority vote will determine if I ban MAN from this community.
YES or NO?
2 people who judge. If u worked on self u wouldn’t even see me.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
take that, take that, take that! congrats & best wishes!
CONGRATS MONICA!!!!
@Anna
I KNOW… There was a time when ONLY THOSE THAT NEEDED TO KNOW knew what was really going on in Your Life (Those Days are Long GONE…)
@Dap
If THEY only knew that Twitter doesn’t HAVE A SOUL (It’s EMOTIONLESS…) When used the WRONG WAY (Which is TOO Often…) it’s A TOOL FOR RIDICULE !!! (Real…)
@yvonne
@MissHarlem
THAT’S Why you’re Special Boo !!! And You TOO @ChaCha
Is twitter connected to your site Sandra? I say no…but I don’t visit enuff to know “WHAT’S REALLY GOIN’ ON”

****************
Although Man’s comments can be a little insensitive, that’s HIS voice. Who are we to muzzle him?
Sandra no don’t ban him, its his opinion to see negative things in everything. Its not affecting how Mo or any celebrity live their lives.
@Sandra, half of the people on here are immature in some aspect. We can’t ban one person because of his opinion because even though they may not like it there are those that agree with him and most of the times I do.
Let it be known, I VOTE NO to banning @Man.
@ Sandra….I vote no.
Everyone on here says what they think or feel and I feel he’s entitled to the same treatment. Most of us have disrupted the “mature” nature of the blog at one point of another.
#HopesIDon’tGetBanned
Monica and Shannon stay having people feeling a way. Go Mo and Shan. Give it to them. Those who don’t feel like commenting your issues. Live and let live, Its not your life.
I vote ‘no’ to Sandra’s Prop 108
#alittlevotinghumor
#letdatmanbehim
Ms. Sandra
I BELIEVE in Free Speech and I’ve SEEN plenty of other SR posters get Out-of-Pocket (For NO REASON…) on other SR posters (Real…)
I Personally IGNORE PURE IGNORANCE and if something is directed AT ME & IT’S Totally Uncalled For… I’ll EITHER Respond Cordially or IGNORE IT because ANY Rational ADULT has that Power-n-Ability !!!
So MY ANSWER is NO to Banning @Man…
Please DO NOT ban MAN… his opinion is his opinion. People take this way to seriously. I mean half of they people they iidolize and email you about they don’t even know!
Wearing my “Don’t Ban Man” t-shirt….
@ ELOVE
hey boo I did throw out that email so if you didnt catch it…….. 
I already put this in another post but I want to make sure Sandra sees it:
Pardon me Sandra but I have a serious question. Is this a “family-friendly” blog or a “mature environment”?
As I don’t know and therefore have nothing personal against Man, I Just Don’t Care, my vote will be based on the answer to this question.
@ SANDRA I say NO if we ban him we can ban some of the other immature adults that simply can not form an adult thought
Wearing my “Don’t Ban Man” t-shirt….
Damn, it’s just a blog. Are people really letting someone the have never meet get to them like this?
http://www.monica.com/news/monica-still-standing-foundation
Go to MO’s site and donate to her breast cancer awareness foundation. Stop being negative people, do somthing right for once. Monica is doing good things.
Ban @Man?
If you don’t like his tweets then don’t follow him. Man is our drunk uncle/crazy cousin and if we’re being honest some of that f*ck*ry he types has spurned more than one healthy debate.
@ DAP I am trying today even Ray Charles can see I am trying
If its on his twitter….who cares.
I been busy n all, but honestly, I haven’t seen anything from Man, that I haven’t seen from other posters…or worse.
*kanye shrug
“Wearing my “Don’t Ban Man” t-shirt….”
So do yours come in leopard?
What about camo?
Yay Mo and Shannon!!!! Congrats to them! Black love is beautiful. Don’t know why people are so caught up in how long they been together. It doesn’t take all day to figure out if someone is The One.
Whose bootlegging the don’t ban man tshirt? I need one. Shoot, she let us keep Rat Stacks, INTENSE (prenuptials girl, #noshade) and all the people who cussed out Choc, what’s the difference?
I say NO if we ban him we can ban some of the other immature adults that simply can not form an adult thought
Sandra man is 80% of the reason your comments stay swole!
Dont bite the hand that feeds us!
“what’s the difference?”
They didnt run crying to Sandra?
Keep Man.
@OTB. Oh. Well when you find the leopard t-shirt send it this way so I can wear it with my new Uggs. Thanks! And Uhm, in another post you mentiioned imminent weddingbells. Are you getting married?
i’ll take one in zebra #teamspeakyourmind #teamNOmanban
are the votes tallied? i haven’t seen a yes yet. though i’m sure they wouldn’t be brave enough to say so via post

We don’t have enough men in here as it is. Keep Man, we know how to ignore him when need be. He’s are replacement Charles, it’s fun to comment w/him when PMSing. LOL.
Sis! Shhhh! You’ll taint my #hoeshyt image!

@Candi, you are right. The ones that vote against him will be E-Mail warriors. Come on naysayers be bold and speak out, it’s your opinion, use it.
@ YSO
LOL
I did my stint on twitter and decided it wasn’t for me. I thought I wanted to keep in touch with people on there but never heard from them so I guess I’ll just stick to the few I actually talk to!
See this is what happens whe I try to open up and be friendly and shyt
OTB, bish! email me right now…..
nikke216 @ gmail.com
Hell No, don’t ban him! He’s one of the reasons I come here, just to see what he has to say. He keeps me laughing.
@Brown, friendly is overrated.
Sandra keep Man but you all know his posts are based on ignorance and not facts.
Done.
Princess I realized that so back to my mean evil azz self!
Although i didn’t send you a email Sandra requesting that man be banned; however I am not against it he is rude to women and for us who know what it is like for a man to respect a woman I am highly offended and livid at his down right disrespect and disdain for women. When Charles got out of hand ur was banned and I don’t see any reason why this shouldn’t apply to him. As one of your loyal readers I personally would like to see him exit stage right so that he can go seek the attention he truly deserves some where. Else clearly he was sat in the corner and ignored as a child.
And for those who actually sent you a email they need to speak up seriously.
For all those who are offended please respect my opinion as I do yours. Thanks
I don’t follow man on Twitter not do I wish too… I still love my e–buddies even if we disagree
So now I am convinced that @Molyfe is Monica. Why else would another adult name them selves after anyone but themselves or their loved one. And just so you know @Molyfe I donate to THE Susan G Komen foundation. Not some “I made this up yesterday because I saw a movie, commercial, or met someone with the disease” fund. But thanks anyway.
Wow I’ve never seen so many cynical women about marriage. This new women’s liberation has F’d you all up. FYI in the 50′s and 60′s when black folks got married the courtship was not very long. You all keep waiting around for the perfect man.The only problem is that by the time you find him he’s not going to want you because you’re too old.
@Snooty, that is all we are asking is that people just voice their opinion. I personally have no problem with what you said and you have all rights to say it.
@rjk8, so we should jump on the next thing smoking and marry it. Or should we accept the broken down, jobless, illiterate ones that love us to death? I just would like for you to clarify your thought.
@DDS I overstand (I made up a word) but the difference is I didn’t call you out of your name
@daps if I was her you would knowit, Mo don’t play. I am just saying stop being so negative. Mo’s dad is a cancer survier and she has her own foundation also. None os us are perfect.st saying go look at some of the good things she is doing. And Molyfe just means living yours.
@daps you waited everybody don’t have to and it has worked out find for a lot of our parents also.
@Sandra writes, “Several people have complained to me via email about MAN’s tweets disrupting the mature environment of the SR community.”

stop NOW.

Snoots knows my e-lingo. There is no harm there. I value her opinion over plenty of others. She knows this.
@OTB its the calling women bit*** & hoez .. I personally like to be refered to by my name nothing less
Regarding this man guy. It’s a dysfunctional situation all the way around. He’s a white boy acting like he’s black and the black people in here are acting like they don’t know he white. Crazy. No unless he admits to being white. Lol I really don’t care. I just dont play the make believe game.
There will always be ppl in life who call you names, talk about you and piss on you (not literally). It is up to you as a grown up to handle them in a mature manner. You can ignore them, you can confront them and you can “tell on them” (in a business setting). None of these things will “make” that person change themselves, that is up to them. All you can do is either show them, by example, how to act and hope they catch on.

If he/she’s right for you after a few months, they are right for you after a few years. Marrying someone off a feeling is playing Russian Roulette. You might get lucky and dodge the bullet or you might not. People who’ve known each other for years can scarcely make it. Why take the chance before you really know how that person is going to react or respond the challenges that relationship is going to bring and to all the ups and downs.
Again, whether Monica or Shannon marry today or in 10 years has nothing to do with my life. I wish them the very best in whatever they choose.
JMO!
@OTB……. I value yours as well if I am the only who said how they truly feel oh well. You know I am real and will be honest no matter what if it goes agaisnt the grain so be it.
Since when is there textbook rules on how long to wait to get married?
For LaLa it was too long…For Mo it’s too fast….If Mo had her kids out and about with Shannon we would complain that she hasn’t know him long enough…WTF is just right and who determed one thing works for everyone?
Do you Mo, congrats and if you didn’t want him to meet your kids then that’s your decision to make. We in the SR family will find fault no matter what outcome…marriage, dating, hell even death.
And like someone else said, people who dated for years get married and divorced within a year. It shyt ain’t meant to work out it wont and if it is no matter how long they’ve known each other it will.
@rjk8, I knew that you would go there. Instead of answering the question I posed about your biased comment, you still want to talk about someone’s skin color. YOU NEED MORE PEOPLE. You are #3 on the list of people I now ignore.
Charles was banned for the exact same thingg that man does. I know people will call me names either in my face or behind my back its up to me however what I want and do not want in my life
Regarding Man, I remember battling Man on B*ssip. He’s very entertaining, and doesn’t bother me. Yes, he can be very disrespectful to woman, but I never take him seriously. I think he says things to get a reaction. I have nothing against Man, and when he starts getting on my nerves, I skip over his comments. I think instead of banning him, just don’t read what he says. JMO.
I never knew why Charles was banned
@DapisDaShizz
Don’t be a nickel trying to get a dime. Fun, Six figures, 6’5, and broad shoulders sounds nice but unless you look like Beyonce it probably anit going to happen. You have to love who loves you. Otherwise, you’ll end up alone or a baby mamma.
I don’t have e-fights with anyone but man has brought out the worse in me and truly its my fault for allowing him to take me there.
Although he irks my soul sometimes just like Charles use to, he has his opinion too. I’d say don’t ban him.
Folks just need to scroll pass his posts if they don’t like what he says like I do
Got it @Snoots. I can def. understand that.
I draw the line with the children topics….And *whispers* Beyonce.
@snooty, I know nothing about Charles I was not on here then and i have been on here for a while. So I can not speak on that. And I agree with you, I do not like to be called out of my name either. I just know that it is useless to argue with some people because as they say “other people do not know which one is the fool”. But I think that just like he replaced Charles, there will be someone to replace him and so on and so forth. Just skip it if you know he is not your cup of tea.
He’s a white boy acting like he’s black and the black people in here are acting like they don’t know he white.
We saw his mugshot though!
If you know a person’s values, their financial habits, how they handle the day to day problems life brings, then do you and get married. Everyone can seem perfect that first few months. How in the heck do you even know it’s really love? How do you know it’s not lust or infactuation?
There have been people whom have known each other for years, got married, and stayed married (like Jerrica mentioned). There are people who got married after a few months and divorced as well. Why is the divorce rate so high? Maybe they weren’t ready for marriage. Why is that such a hard concept for people to follow? When the feeling of “love” goes away, are you ready for the long-term commitment?
Lord know, I remember Charles. He was a piece of WORK!
Lol… he uses the n word too…. yeah calling kids ugly should be off limits.
Snooty,
I have to agree, Charles was Banned by Sandra without the option of a vote for doing the exact same thing Man does now almost on a daily
Difference is…while most of the past SR commenters were irked by Charles antics Man seems to be encouraged SMH.
I mentioned the kids simply because they are Rocko’s boys…. I would not be surprised if Rocko has instilled a little mentality in them, is all @Shauny.
Not in a negative way, just a “awwww I hope the boys dont hate Shannon” kind of way.
I believe that kids are along for the ride, so I def. respect Monica’s decision to do it at her own pace. I thought they hadnt met before OR after this engagement but East cleared that up.
@shauny…. yes people were livid about Charles and his comments and he didn’t cut up and refer to all women in a derogatory manner man acts up everyday
@rjk8, I personally have read most comments that you have made on this site and by what you say, I think you are gay. I have never seen another man all on another man like that unless he likes men. If @Man is white, pink with purple stripes, orange with blue polka dots or whatever, WHO CARES (you do, another man). He has personally never spoke about me being a byt*h, being ignorant, or any other negative thing. And he is entitled to opinion about Monica, Kim K., Beyonce, or anyone else just like you are and I am. He can call people any name he wants and I can’t stop him but I can overlook him if I want. So can you.
I do NOT want you nor any other man that jocks another man. I live in ATL and see enough of that anyway. I also noticed you mentioned your money, boo I probably make your salary in 6 months and I sit on my butt at the house ALL day, sleep til noon and chat with my buddies on SR. I am 5″10′ 180 that owns everything I have and I am WIDOWED, boo. And I do not care how a man looks as long as he acts like I am the best thing that ever happened to him and treats me like a queen, I am there. But he gotta go to work and make money for us, And I’m fun too, lol. Now back to ignoring you.
@DapisDaShizz
If you don’t mind a white boy calling you nyggah bytch. I don’t care either. I washed my hands of it when I first told you all he was run off another site for playing make believe.
Congrats .!!!!!!!!!!!! do what u feel is best in your heart as long he respects you and treat you like a woman. Ignore people they will always have something to say. Thank God we can make our own decisions
“I am 5?10? 180 ”
#heightenvy! In my head, oh yes! *smizing and chit* *fierce face*
#fakeitwithheelsifyoudidntmakeit
@OTB, girl you are crazy, and the sad part is that I wear 4 and 5 inch heels ONLY. I tower over dudes and shiz.
Naw….don’t ban dat dude….it is not that serious. You have to have a variety….and in most cases (not all) Man is our comic relief. Honestly I think some women feed into Man’s comments like I did when he first started posting….once I realized he was DOING IT ON PURPOSE to get a reaction out of people I started laughing him off….mostly
He has good days and bad days…but he doesn’t do enough to get banned, he just states his RETARDED azz opinion that NO ONE in their right mind would really agree with, unless its like a “dude” thing. I vote NO. Its already too many females on here as it iz…..(i mean I love yall) but we need opinions from the opposite sex….i like reading a man’s point of view, and even tho we could do without some of what he says…I can always trust Man’s opinion to be honest…LMAO! #RealTalk
#Don’tBanManT-shirtOnDECK
@DapisDaShizz
You asked me a question. Honestly I don’t read most comments. I don’t have the time nor interest. There are a few commentors who have relevant amusing perspectives and yours certainly isn’t one of those. This is the first time I’ve ever noticed your comment. So I guess I’ve been ignoring you all along but not intentionally. Fyi, If you make more than me sitting on your azz, you’re my hero.
Now regarding this Man character. I don’t have a problem with what he says (i don’t read most of it). I have a problem with him misrepresenting himself as a blackman.

Charles was banned for the exact same thingg that man does.
_______________
I beg to differ. Charles was a mental case.
Thing pardon my typos I am trying from my phone
Thing!!!!! I am typing from my phone
Don’t ban Man. I come to the sight every day to see what he has to say!!!
Hi everybody.

********************************************************
^^^^exactly
Sandra now you know you banned Charles multiple times but mostly for his comments in his posts, and not even about other posters sometimes. Charles was like a mix of Man and Carrington times 10. You could take him or leave him….most of the time I left him.
@OTB – I actually don’t believe that those boys haven’t already met him. I think that after she knew they were serious it would’ve been o.k and hell since he’s proposing, I would think she would know they were serious. At least I hope she did.
He was a mental case and so is The Man
She is stress free because her man doesn’t live in the nightclubs
——————————————
wtf does this have to do with anything?
hey snooty and the rest of the srose fam…
Charles and Sandra Rose are the same person.
Yeah I remember Charles. For some reason he seemed worse than @man.
folks gonna complain its 2 soon and this and that but its people who “date” 5-6 years then be married for 6 months
———————————————–
like pep and treach. that shat still boggles my mind. together forever then split as soon as they said they did…
to each their own and congrats to mo and her dude and their kids.
poor rocko…you bought this on yourself bruh…onyaself!
Hey !!!!!! Kwall
@AM now you know that ain’t true. Charles went hard on SR when he got banned that last time.
Anyways, I think SR just made more conflict on here buy being so vague in her post. She needed to clarify who it was. There already seems to be a e-fight a day on here. If no one back in the day asked to ban Charles then they wouldn’t ask to ban Man either no matter how much they don’t like him. They had e-fights with Charles too.
Charles only attacked those who attacked him he mostly attacked celebs. I didn’t agree with his antics either but he never called me out of my name

They emailed me. I’m guessing my loyal readers (the ones who rarely leave comments) didn’t want to address the issue publicly.
Honestly I dont care I busted wanted to voice my opinion man is not going to get banned!!!!!!
He was a mental case and so is The Man
——————————————
Ban NO…..Probation MAYBE
just tell him to take it easy and think about the reading public’s sensitive azz feelings…LOL. If we agree to have him banned because of emails to Sandra whose to say those same emails won’t address our usernames one day?? Hell yall know people look us up and send crazy azz emails?? We can’t let them break up the group…”i wrote all the songs in 5 PART HARMONY…5 PART HARMONY!!”….LOL Seriously tho…hell we all have probably had some emails on our bad days up in here….don’t do it Sandra….that ain right nie….he ain THAT bad, think about his intelligence….let it outweigh the bad…LOL!
@Caramel
Hey Kwall
Hey Snooty Poo…OTB…Errrybody up in hErrr!
Charles only attacked those who attacked him he mostly attacked celebs. I didn’t agree with his antics either but he never called me out of my name
——————————————————————
Man called you outta of your name??
or are you talking about him speaking generally about females when he says “hoes”??? Don’t take offense to something you’re not…u know he’s retarded like that Snooty… 
@Hey lady…… Man has done both its all.good though he is not going to get banned he just get on my last nerve well my reserve nerve…
I came out of lurk mode to vote NOT to ban MAN. **putting on my don’t ban man baby tee**
I am lurker on here but man provides comic relief on this site. Sometimes I come here to see what he has to say. It is all entertainment people shouldn’t take what someone has to say on a blog so serious. Everyone has a opinion and I say let him voice his.
Dont ban @man
coming out of lurk mode. @man he may be silly at times but sometimes he right on point of what i thinking
Congrats to them! I hope it works. Folks acting like they getting married 2morro or some ish. They are just engaged…they still have time to get to know each other. Furthermore, you can be dating someone for years and STILL not fully know them. That’s life!
There are people who have dated for five years or more, get married and it doesn’t last. There are people who havew date for a couple of months, and stay together for YEARS! Marriage/Relationships are unique to each couple and individual, so I don’t see how people could come on here talking bout it’s too soon for them and it won’t last. Ya’ll ain’t know JACK about their relationship, so how would YOU know if it’s going to last or not?
I wish them all the best, and if they are happy, then they don’t need to care what NO one else thinks. Also, sometimes, you may break up with someone and when you LEAST expect it, love comes and knocks on your door. Are you suppose to turn your back on love just cause you broke up with someone a month or two ago?? Life doesn’t work the same for everybody, Love doesn’t operate the same for everybody either! Some people find true love the DAY after they break up with a significant other and end up being in a happy and loving marriage to the new person they’ve met. That’s life. I wish them all the best!
soooooo @man is up for banning huh?
idk how i feel about him being gone permanently (says the girl who done been banned 50-11 times). maybe he just needs a timeout @sandra. idk. it’s your blog. why did you ban me again? i mean aside for the mullet thing…and ah…for calling you a communist over the obama posts pre-election…what were the OTHER 4 times for?
hey @krysi…he musta said some REAL real ignant shat to piss snooty off huh?….going to go read…
Sandra back to banning people???
Ctfu @ “Sandra and Charles are the same people”
I use to think that too….but Charles was really a NUT/MENTAL CASE especially after reading his blog a few times. However his comments did keep me laughing….
N e hoo,
HEY snooty, shauny, krysi, attorneymom, kwall *all SR long time commentors* and n e body else i forgot.
Back to lurking…..
@LovelyLady….
LAWD….ghul where you BEEN???
Congrats MO. Nice ring
Hey Lovely Lady, long time no see
On topic: Her ring is beautiful. I
black love. 
I don’t think you should ban him. Even though his statements are mostly ridiculous and sometimes funny. I believe that he says the things he says to get attention and not to be malicious…..#justsaying
WoW Its gettin HOT up in here. Now I gotta READ what Man said to see if I think he should be banned or not. >:(
I will say this, Sandra, based on previous posts, I think Man can get a tab bit outta hand at times but hell, we ALL do at some point or another. This is an outlet for us to have a voice on YOUR blog. And we are ALL adults so we should all be able to handle it, right? This is AMERICA where we have freedom of speech. So I dont agree with him being banned..unless I’m missing something he just recently said that was just completely outlandish out somethin..
@ Kwall mostly lurking.
Awwwww
Hey Kaylamomma 
Damnit! My Emoticon didnt work on my post!
Well, good for her I guess, but when your statement begins as hers did, “We know people will have their opinions..” of course people will give you the side eye. You can’t come out speaking on other people, speak on you and yours. Speak with confidence. #noshadejustreal
CONGRATS! Shannon liked it and put a ring on that is OK by me
Hey lovely lady nice seeing you
I think they’re moving too fast, but only they know what’s right for them.
And, as my mother always says — ‘If they like it, I loves it.’ Congrats to them both and I hope it works out for them as they would like it to.
Also, it’s nice that Mo finally has someone who is treating her with the respect and love that a woman deserves and appreciates.
i’m typically team monica, but i must ask; is she one of these chicks who marry every guy she meets? i hate seeing that.
Already! She just pulled Rocko out of bed with another dude now she’s engaged. Good luck girly hope this one works out.
CONGRATS MONICA-THE ONLY OPINION THAT MATTERS IS YOURS AND HIS
GOD BLESS!
congrats Mo sometimes u got to let go and LET GOD i am happy she seems like such a nice down-to-earth person …. SRose better get the exclusive photos of the wedding
@Kwall u know I don’t bother anyone.
Team Monica
Snoots I know you better be doin that homework!
KEEP MAN
I LIKE AN OPINIANATED PERSON-ESPECIALLY IF THEIRS DIFFERS FROM MINE
IT MAKES FOR A LIVELY DEBATE-IT’S JUST WORDS NOBODY SHOULD LITERALLY BE HURT BY THEM
IT’S A BLOG NOT BIBLE STUDY
OOPS OPINIONATED
