The blog world is buzzing about blogger Necole Bitchie‘s Come To Jesus moment in a tear-soaked video posted on her Youtube.com channel on Wednesday.
Last year, Necole shocked millions of readers by announcing she was shuttering her wildly popular gossip blog Necolebitchie.com.
Nearly a year later, Necole is flat broke and nearly homeless.
It was a spectacular fall from grace for a woman who was once the most celebrated black blogger in the blogosphere.
What most people don’t know is that Necole built her audience by poaching readers from another top black blogger in 2007.
She craftily used that blogger’s platform to launch Necolebitchie.com in late 2007.
Necole was one of the first black bloggers to hire a publicist to walk her down red carpets at celebrity events.
The strategy worked. The publicity helped take Necolebitchie.com to #1 in the black blogosphere.
8 years later, in her final post in July 2015, she announced she was quitting blogging to find a “higher purpose” in life.
Necole resurfaced in August 2015 with a new blog called xoNecole.com.
Despite her lofty ambitions for the new blog, xoNecole never really took off.
On Wednesday, Necole posted a deeply personal Youtube video titled “#1: What They Forgot To Tell Me About Leaving A Successful Brand”.
In the video, Necole revealed she was penniless and nearly homeless.
Fighting back tears, she said she text her aunt to ask if her old room was still available.
“I went from on top… and almost a year later… asking my aunt can I move back home,” she said.
“I ran out of money 3 times,” she said. “I did a good job of faking the funk and making the site look like it was poppin.'”
She now says she regrets her overly ambitious decision to launch xoNecole.com as some sort of inspirational blog for young black women.
Necole learned the hard way that her readers visit her blog for gossip, not inspiration.

I wonder who that top Black blogger is? Hmmm.
I know this makes some people so very happy….She will be just fine…
Running a blog and trying to live the lifestyle of the those you blog about will RUIN you..duh…
Anywho Goodmorning yall and Nicole here ya go…
I haven’t been to her blog in decades. Anyhoo i aint watching that long vid. How you work for years and end up broke? Living beyond ones means I’m sure.
Interesting!
Sandra, she stole from you?
Well this is sad. I hope that she is able to get together. The sad thing is that she was trying to do something that is “better” for people, but people don’t want what is best for them smh.
Right. But this girl lacks financial education. Ran out of money 3 times tho??
It’s never good to revel in someone else’s downfall, especially when y’all used to be cool. Wish em well and move on, and never forget ANYBODY can fall off tomorrow.
Well I feel bad for her. Not gonna kick her while she’s down. I’m sure she’ll find her way back. You can only go up from here.
Yep, I used to be a faithful reader til she shut it down, but I really enjoyed hearing about her life. It’s crazy how negative people can be.
Auntie I know you somewhere cackling so imam cackle with you…. #pettypeople
Eggzacklee what I’m saying. Nobody’s guaranteed to thrive always. Same person wishing her bad could lose their money or health one day.
I dunno her last I’m leaving post reeked of self importance and haughtiness. I’m all for expanding your horizons and not wasting ALL you time with frivolity but her post was like when people announce they are leaving social media because people shouldn’t waste their time and there are so many better things to do blah blah blah
I feel bad for her. She’s had a hard life. It seems messy blogging keeps the lights on.
So you think that’s the real reason she’s broke and not the reason she gave?…
She was doing her best trying to keep up with the Joneses.
Well… I hate to say this, but you are right about why people go to blogs for the most part. I tried to read the xoNecole but the post were regurgitated twitter/facebook conversation topics and the writing was often basic. I understand wanting to grow, because we all want that in a way, transition is tough. I hope she finds her place.
Raise your hand if you are now pretty much convinced that as a lass in Florida/NY/England…that Sandra was the mean girl in school
She did in a way, I remember as it was happening. Went from a commenter, to linking at times, to being entirely competitive with SR.
Why didn’t she start out trying to do something “better?” It seems some people will do whatever to be popular, then want to change & be more respectable later, as we see with Nene Leakes.
+1.
“Coming soon a Gofundme page.”- When liberalism becomes unemployment.
They did, it seems like traveling creates this attitude in people.
Nawl Sandra was picked ON which is why now as an adult she has morphed to be the mean girl she couldn’t be before
Auntie somewhere giddy as hell…
Is this some indirect, passive aggressive way of getting a GoFundMe account started for herself?
I think its the opposite. She was all out mean and now after many, MANY years… she has perfected her own brand of shade.
I feel bad for her….we fall down, but we get up. But that bleaching she did…..NEVER riding with her on that.
Never read Necole’s blog like that. A little way back when. Das it. Good tidings to ya though.
She wants a Go Fund Me account?
She miss her Caucasian home with her Caucasian things….nothing else.
Agreed I’m not gone talk bad or kick her while she’s down or say a bunch of should’ve, could’ve, would’ve all I have to say for her is be blessed and stat strong life has highs and lows.
LOL. Caucasian living ain’t easy chile.
That page was so damn JUNKY!! I cannot deal with a HOARDER type website…I aint got time
Soooo..she didn’t even purchase a home? Just put all her money into the new website?
yea…press reset hun…
Auntie…fun fact…i found your site whilst visiting necolebitchie…one of her readers namedropped you in the comments ?
I liked some of the post she had on the new blog.
She was driven by ambition. Motivated by current events. Tired of the labels attributed to Black women. Wanted to motivate and inspire young women to aspire for more. I get it. She took some risks. I get it. I get it, I get it, I get it. I once headed an organization that mentored Black youth. I was exhausted to the point of depression. Nothing I could do for those kids,,,Nothing was ever enough for me. No amount of new clothes, new sneakers, biblical passages, nothing could erase the pain of a tortured life from their eyes. Nothing. I get it. I had to step away, much like she stepped out on faith with the intentions of motivating, I had to step away and distance myself. Yeah. Not going to bother watching the video. I wish this Sista all the best??
We all fall down, it’s the way that we get up that matters. Good luck to her.
I don’t get a off on others folks misery. I have never been to her site but I wish her success with her goals.
*hand raised*
SMH…and you’re enjoying every minute of it, Sandra. Gosh I thought black brits weren’t as petty, hateful and simple as you constantly show yourself to be. You have kept your chapped lips on this woman off and on for YEARS…GREEN with envy over her success AND looks. Now she’s down and out and you decide to make it a topic. How very classless and small of you.
Sandra inspired her. And Necole has a brand too and she can still have success. Enough bread for evrbody to eat
So you move on with your life and find something else to do. I want to be a runway model and live in an $10M NYC apartment; Not happening. So …….
Maybe Sandra is bringing attention to it to help her get attention to her current blog. (I didn’t laugh while typing this….I swear)
Sooo TS or none of them other sponsors came thru, or nah? All that hob nobbin and gobblin I’d be saltier than a fish honey..
How is she paying for these trips if she’s broke and doesn’t have any investors?
Indeed. I remember when the shade room surpassed balleralert in follower count. A blog that copied the format of the other, but promising messiness and shade. I have insider/behind the scenes info on that drama, allegedly. Maybe some other time…
I don’t celebrate people’s downfalls….I stay as far away from karma as I can.
Oh and people do want inspiration Sandra. She just have to find that audience.There are many making multiple 6 figures “inspiring” folks, telling them what they wanna hear
LOL…maybe! Don’t get me wrong, I know Sandra is the queen of shade and I do get a chuckle or two off of backhanded compliments, facetious questions and absurd comments however sometimes she goes BEYOND that. I know, it’s her blog, she can run it how she sees fit but we can comment on it. Yall know she was being amazon rainforest shady with this. lol
Or Sandra was trying to send people over to her new blog. #JustAThought
??
Beautiful. Thank you for bringing some positivity.
LOL…maybe. But yall ain’t new to Sandra’s antics, lol. SHE is the queen..I mean she created the magna carta for shade. Yall didn’t catch that “what most people know is that she got her audience by poaching…blah, blah, blah” comment? LOL! Sandra sitting up drinking tea, eating crumpets LHAO @ this.
Who is they? And why should they tell you anything?
Rarely read her blog but what’s wrong with uplifting and inspiring WOC, living the dream and being her own boss? I watched video and she’s being humble, admitting mistakes and striving to do better. Isn’t that what we want for anybody?
Dummy . That’s all I got .
True! She should have stuck to the other site. Its sad to say but in blogging…gossip and negativity pays the bills but she went another route. She wanted to be positive and have celeb friends vs catering to her audience. Sandra probably set for life as far as bills are concerned.
I’m at the DMV so I have nothing but time to watch the vid.
I never frequented NecoleBitchie, I thought her brand of reporting was way too patronizing and “kiss-assy” But when she launched XONecole, I must say I was impressed by the quality of content being posted. It was very much like essence.com, madamenoire, forharriet, etc.
In the video, she says she funded the idea completely out of pocket and didn’t want to rely on investors. Most entrepernuers who take this approach run into trouble early. But as a young woman investing in herself and once again building a brand from the ground up, I think her story is an inspiration and I applaud her honesty.
She is not abadoning XONecole and is very much still committed to making it work: this is what she said in the video. Her purpose for making the video was to let others know, the path to your dreams is a hard one. You’ll see a lot of failure in that road to realizing your dreams, but if you want it and you commit to it, it’s as good as yours (hardships be damned). I think millenials and children of generation z need to see more vids like hers so they understand instant gratification will almost never lead you to anything worthwhile in this fight to manifest your visions/dreams.
I’m rooting for Necole. She’ll find her way.
Ms. Sandra, if you don’t mind me asking, how much can a top blogger (like yourself) make in a year? You seem like you may be conservative in your spending, unless you are purchasing those designer backpacks you like so much.
I think Nicole was hobnobbing before she switch to the inspirational side. She wallowed in the celebrity of others celebrity..so now her she see..none of her celebrity “Friends” are really her friends..cuz why she at her momma nem house?
???
Good luck to her. Ain’t nothing fun about being broke. I think it’s crazy that people complain about gossip blogs, but not enough people will visit a lifestyle blog or whatever format she had.
Interesting. I didn’t know Ms. Sandra was British. With the accent and everything?
All of what you said!
I’m with you on all of this, B! But the video is actually her testimony that despite the hardships she faced, she’s still going strong. Listen, the point behind her making the video was to acknowledge the fact that being in business for yourself is not easy, but you have to be committed for the long haul in order to ensure your success. The site is still up and running.
shuttering her wildly popular gossip blog Necolebitchie.com.–Did she really say Shuttering or is this a typo?!
Other than that……being broke and losing it all is a terrible place to be, but it can be humbling and if done right you can grow from it. Hopefully Necole does this.
Thank you for that summary. ? I couldn’t watch the video. Yes, good luck to her and hopefully someone hears her message.
I agree with you. I didn’t like her other site, but I do like the new direction. She has to understand that when trying to go positive, you will never AT FIRST have as mush success as going negative. However, her time is coming. She will be just fine. It might not ever be like her 1st site, but peace and purpose are priceless in comparison.
Let’s talk about Queen Sugar
I used to like Nicole’s site … She’s talented & beautiful ..she will be alright .
I wish black women would celebrate and encourage each other instead of knocking each other down. It’s hate all through this post. It’s sickening.
If I wasn’t married I’d be her captain, she hot…
Reminds me of Toni Childs when she left Girlfriends. That show was on and poppin and then she left voluntarily, f–k–g up the whole show, only to be later found in a Baileys liquor commercial. I’m like…this is what you left for? (blank stare, flared nostrils)
I didn’t watch the video, so thank you for the insight and I agree with what you wrote and what she said. She took a leap of faith on herself and wanted to change who she was….NOTHING wrong with that. Now I want to visit the new site to see what it is about.
oh wow….i really tried to get into xoNecole but i could not make the crossover…i would read it and be like…WEY WHUTT? awwww that is too bad but it does not have to be the end. She will be back in no time i’m certain
????
Thank you! What’s wrong with giving a mission, a purpose, your everything, even if it means temporary failure?
Listen, if that girl decided to start posting gossiping chot again, she’d be back on top. That’s too easy. It’s much harder to sacrifice temporary comfort for the sake of persuing something you truly believe in.
I used to visit frequently but when I’m at work I need something interesting to get me through the day. XO wasn’t it.
Or Gina leaving Martin …
?? ??
Let’s. Ooooh, where to begin?
I think it’s supposed to be shutting but I’m sure Sandra was in a rush to post this.
Right , honestly I want the mess & shade …I ain’t trying to find happiness from a blogger.
Exactly!!
dayum Petty
Not my thing to cheer for another sista downfall. Even if I don’t like you. I will probably giggle if you did something to me personally and even that will be done in private. My energy is not blessed nor used properly if I lived like that. All the best to her. Didn’t visit any of her sites but didn’t wish bad either.
Yasss, Kay. Peace and purpose will always trump everything else.
Auntie – so nice of you to make some publicity for your colleague/friend/sister !!! I watched the whole video – and now I feel like giving Xonecole a chance !
This is a damn shame!! Girlfriend shoulda stuck to what she does best which is dispense gossip. If I want inspiration I’ll tune into Deepak Chopra or T.D. Jakes…
Right!! I got healed from that quite awhile ago!!
I knew this would happen. I used to love her site until she started having others write articles for her. My gf was actually a part of the XO tribe at first. Thought she would get her articles published on the site but nah Necole used only people who had journalism degrees to publish on her positive site. I felt bad because my gf was up all night sending articles to her to post with no response…every time I bring it up she curses me out lol.
Hey Baby!!! All of what you said. I have stepped out on faith and it failed, so I had to step back out on faith about 2 more times for it to succeed. She wanted to be a better person and with that transition many “friends and associates” will leave..in her case it was blog visits. The right people will find her and she will be good. I so love your spirit!!
Nothing tops SR.
+1 All of this.
Whew. So much to unpack. It’s such a phenomenal show.
Life happens ..I am more than sure T.D.Jakes would appauld her struggle for positivity …
Amen!!
I wish her the best..but I will say this..blogging times have changed and from visiting other blogs online and on IG..people love when a blogger put celebs on blast, expose or, reveil that their favorite singer/rapper/ actor dun got caught up with a groupie, drugs or any other shock value gossip. This is what the new generation likes…look at TSR and Famelous… for example.
Bloop
And tell her how he failed a few times and even sold chicken dinners before he saw success!!
Going to plan spring break 2017. BBL.
It’s the people on Sandra Rose blog that keeps me coming back. Beautiful minds and spirits.
I use to visit her blog back in the “Charles” days here at SR. “Another top black blogger” yup she stole some of SR loyals back in the day I remember. Her comment section was a little distasteful at times, and Sandy would never have that she use to ban folks left and right including me once for calling Tiny a name lmbo. Look how the world turns; may God bless this sister to humble herself, and live within her means.
Dayum aunty you been dragging her for years. Lmao!!! Sn, but she travels around the world. How is the broke though………Damn people stay frontin on social media.
Yep ..gets me through the day .?
You know, I don’t mean to be mean but I sensed this coming when she started wanting to be a celeb instead of just staying in the background and writing about them.
Another one eaten up by the fame monster.
I dont think she really listening sis …
I think she ran the crew, did the recruiting and even the hazzing.
…no time like the present…
she was good at it though. maybe that was her gift. she left to do something completely opposite. maybe she could have transitioned to doing ish like E or red carpets. Ijs
I really liked her new site a lot! Excellent posts on a myriad of topics, but I did notice not as many new posts were being posted, but rather old post were being “bumped” up. It makes sense now. I wish her well. If she rose to the top once, she can do it again. I mean what can she do, we ALL fall down and we have to pick ourselves up. I have nothing but well wishes for her.
I’m still angry about that!! There’s always one that thinks they’re bigger and better than the rest of the cast only to realize later that we just loved the character they played on the show.
My sister and bff are teachers so I’m planning a trip for spring break. Where u guys going?
yes! too much info all at one time. messed with my ocd
I feel for her. And I like her site. She’ll be just fine. We ALL rise and fall in life. I hope she sticks it out
I wish I would have invested more in my blogspot Character Corner blog. Now Google won’t give my domain back. Some white dude face pops up. Ugh!
I digress…….
I met Nicole in Atlanta during Blogging While Brown. She was such a nice person.
I wish her well. She is making a smart move by v-blogging on YouTube. That should help her blog traffic.
But in the vid, i actually watched it, she says she didn’t move back home. She’s still in the A, roughing it and puting everything into the new site. I hope she sticks with this new direction. There are far more opportunities for the market she’s trying to break into. Way beyong blogging.
That line about the plantation of the man who wants to buy their land: a museum of our slave ancestors, only the Browns have replaced Blacks (something like that). So true.
but she done traveled the world. how u do that without having a pot to piss in
Yeah I just watched it. Very inspirational. My error was reading the write up. I didn’t want to watch her in the midst of a nervous breakdown. That’s not what happens in the video. My hope is to let her testimony be motivation for me. I can’t make any promises, but that’s my wish for the day…
This is true
I’m banned to travel anytime after March ?? have to save on beast mode after Feb. Have fun. I’m sad already ??
They had issues beyond though….
Yeah, I know like the alleged sexual harrasment …
Funny, I receive daily devotionals and today’s touched on this exact thing…Passing it on- telling your trials, tribulations, humbling moments, etc. because it goes on to encourage another and help them to keep going. Necole is doing what she is supposed to do with the lesson she learned….more importantly she is growing from it. Takes a lot to be on top, lose it all or a lot of it and tell your story knowing that people will find joy in it. Well Done, Necole- the person this message was for, will receive it.
But how she paid for veeners though…….I didn’t see any tears
They left for different reasons, but I still was pissed about both.
I never heard of her until seeing an interview of hers a minute back (almost like a bio). She had to couch surf at some point before blogging & also attended MSU (from some part of Maryland, I believe), so for that I cheered (or at least hoped she succeeded) for her. Sometimes sticking to what you know is BEST, but there is nothing wrong with stepping out on faith too. Best Wishes & Luck To Ya.
I think she was from PG and I still didn’t read her blog.
A cruise this year. We normally do the beach or mountains. But a cruise out of Orlando looking like the $$ move.
lol nobody is perfect… There’s a lot of things that people could have did at first, but didn’t. I do believe that it helps you in the long run to learn from mistakes.
Everybody’s priorities are not the same . As my mom would say “she is young & baby less ..when she eats she can brake the plate .” Maybe she felt like life was more than just a house & working to pay bills . Who knows the lesson , culture & experiences she may have come across while traveling .
She was definitely the damn Gretchen of her class…smh. and the video is nothing but Necole’s testimony. The blog is still up and running, she didn’t have to move back home, and she said her purpose for making the vid was to inspire others not to be so quick to abandon their dreams when chit gets hard.
Dark humor etc…
She could’ve did somebody hair or something.
WHAT? Let me lissen.
Exactly!….hopefully they’ll mend my broken heart by putting making a Girlfriends movie.
What’s up Bloop Bloop?
Bahamas. I woulda took Mexico tho lol
Well they say your best teacher is your last mistake. The only problem is when people keep making the same mistakes and never learn from them. So hopefully she’ll learn from hers and become even better & stronger after this.
I remember when NB held court in my comments section every morning. When my blog’s background was all black. My readers were like, “You need your own blog, Necole.” Next thing you know, she starts her own blog and my blog is a ghost town. Tumble weeds and crickets.
I remember a lone commenter saying all my readers were partying over on Necole’s new blog.
Then she laughed and slammed the blog door.
That was a low point in my life as a blogger. But not one tear fell. I continued to persevere and I continued doing me.
Eventually my readers started trickling back.
Um.. girl stop crying…I’ve been down to $3, and had to put that in my gas tank..if u got your health u can bounce back..
A lesson to be learned huh? I guess the Garden is going to stay Black?
SPEAK!
She will regain – God keeps her humble and looking to Him unlike others! God got you sis, hold on!!!!!
Whatever. Necole only cares about Necole. She can’t even give me my respect due for inspiring her. Apparently her success was a fluke.
She’s a brave woman and she’ll get it back and more.
True. There’s lots of people in the intensive care ward right now who would love to trade places with her.
Can somebody give me a rundown? I have a headache. Like really.
I don’t either. I’m simply stating the facts.
This! Not everybody is hyped to be tied to debt for the rest of their life. Just to say you own something you never truly own (re: taxes). A lot of millenials prefer delaying starting a family so they can travel the world and rack up on once in a lifetime experiences.
Am chilln my luv ..how are you ?
Amen! I learned that the hard way. You can’t be friends with the people you blog about.
That was your test.
This makes me sad. Its for greater good tho baby cakes.
We decided on Bahamas too….Freeport
“Sandra probably set for life as far as bills are concerned.”
^^^^
Sandra who?
That’s yours will never be taken away from you .
Your perseverance and bitterness paid off ?
Interesting. I decided to watch the video. I didn’t want to watch a Black woman on tape at her lowest. That’s what I thought it as coming based on the write up. I was wrong. Indeed I felt her message. Now I can’t make any promises, but I’m hoping this moment, me watching the video, me hearing her message, I’m hoping this can be good for me??
Real talk …
I tried to plan a cruise. I didn’t know what I was doing lol. I totally forgot Orlando had a port. I’m guessing it’s probably cheaper than Fort Lauderdale or Miami.
She’s not in Atlanta.
Myra Panache is the top female blogger she’s talking about. Lol. I miss her blog. It was great!
Me and you both, Bren!
@SandraRose is actually giving her a plug here.
Facepalm at my damn self for still not watching. Mind you I was the main one that wanted to watch. I also missed AHS last night ??
Not exactly. She used my blog to build her audience. Then they abandoned my blog for hers.
Very animated.
Nicole was on top when she was running a messy blog ..she tried to switch to positive and lost her way . Most of us are encouraging her or using her testimony as motivation ..while others are too busy acting like they ain’t never been down …
TSO true. Landry (the guy who wanted to buy the land) is going to try to sabotage their crop. I just hope Ralph Angel will keep his composure.
Bullock .
That’s why I’m here too, because @SandraRose is unapologetically black.
Nobody is reveling, sis. I’m simply stating the facts.
I’m still working on it..she is very ANIMATED.
It is cheaper. Tampa too. I really wanna sail out of Jacksonville (in proximity it is the closest one to us out of all FL locations) but they aint got our school spring break dates I have seen yet. Charleston has them but for some damn reason cruises out of Charleston are beyond astronomical.
Good job. Lol
hile others are too busy acting like they ain’t never been down
========================
GIRL
Or die trying!!
I am not mean. Don’t listen to Dub.
My black ass is down CURRENTLY yet over here planning a trip. Folks better find their Hallelujah ANYWAY internally and keep it pushin.
And annoying .
Chile, I thought you said ruBdown. I was about to tell you I would send you a WalGreen’s care package with lavender epsom salt and cheesecake.
Yassss, J!
The plot thickens…tell me more
Never that, hun. Welcome back, by the way! ? We missed you.
What Nucy said.
I want to be like @SandraRose when I grow up. Wake up on the beach, full of lesbians, flip open my Toshiba laptop…
Okay ..honestly I wish I would’ve traveled & enjoyed my youth . I was too ready to be grown & now I got these grown ass bills..LIVE & LET LIVE ..
I know. Sniffles ?
Thanks, hun. ?
If she rose to the top once, she can do it again.
——
Amen!
Toshiba ????
Thanks for staying.
Charley’s husband is nasty. I’m disappointed.
Make it Key Lime cheesecake and I’ll accept. LOL
“I ran out of money 3 times,” she said. “I did a good job of faking the funk…”
===
So unnecessary. People spend so much time, money, and energy trying to impress people that dont really matter.
I don’t know why people try to do custom sites, that don’t know how to code.
Perfecto
Come thru!!!! Thank you.
I was thinking the same thing and Rah is fine as heck. My goodness I love that beautiful skin. The scene at the trailer tho. She tried to kiss him and he pushed her hand away.
Thanks, hun. Some people are clueless.
STOP THE PRESSES…Isn’t that lavender Epsom salt give you life.
But, like Necole, you’re sacraficing to make your dreams come true. It’ll pay off, Harlem.
He should have been upfront with her when the scandal first got legs. it wasn’t fair for her to be blindsided like that.
Ok I thought so I remember when I first started lurking I would see her commenting on this site then all of a sudden her site popped up.
Eventually my readers started trickling back.
______________
Dont cry for me Argentina (Sandra).
The truth is I never left you.
Signed,
Evita Peron
They abandoned her like a broken down roller coaster.
Lying butt. If he had not gotten caught he would still be hiring whores to screw smdh.
Right , internally ..happiness is not a one size fit all thing ..
If this ain’t a praise moment. You better preach ???
LOL…Bernhard?
Who you tellin’???!!! You see what sis just sent me? Man listen. They can spend the night if need be. LOL
O’an I leave for Chicago on Saturday morning, with a mayo jar full of change and a half tank of gas. Try me.
Sandra, you one evil woman. A real POS. Finding joy in a black woman’s pain is an illness.
“Gossip and negativity pays the bills” Youuuuuuu!! Lol!
He didn’t go to make love. He only wanted to fugg.
Currently listening to love yourz J Cole. There’s beauty in the struggle.
Fitting for this hateful post.
I see lol either or is fine with me.
Tell your girl to check out forharriet.com. great platform for up and coming writers.
Don’t matter, don’t care.If you gotta people will talk about you, if you don’t have people will talk about you and if they real ratchet they will kill you!
IS that the same as those Bath Bombs from Lush?
Well, I backlink to your blog.
These hoes ain’t loyal. Either they driving traffic or trying to take traffic.
Well to be honest, Sandra, I never read her blog. And I’ve been lurking here on Sandra Rose over 8 years, eating up the stories and comments lol. But for her not to show u respect is backward hustlin. It is all about linking
All of this Except the extra cats.
Jermaine is it. He be sideline preaching.
It varies. I earn a modest living, but I owe the IRS a ton of money. Meanwhile, bloggers like Karen Civil a drive Rolls Royce. Obviously I am doing something wrong.
dont get it? How are you travelling & claiming broke?
People do want inspiration. I think the new site just hasn’t been something I automatically go to daily YET tho.
Typically, I’ll see her FB posts and then click thru. With the old site it was something I checked multiple times a day. Then, she left and I was so sad because I always loved the positivity that shined thru even with her doing celebrity gossip. I think she should’ve had the new site ready to launch the day she gave her goodbye. That way she wouldn’t have lost any of her daily traffic in translation. I know there are others like myself that were still going to the site after she “closed” it strictly out of habit but once we got used to it being gone… Or she could’ve launched the new site while the other was still going to give it time to grow.
Water under the bridge now tho. I hope the new site continues to grow and become a huge success. She has already had so many great articles on the site. Nothing but up from here! ?
I think she should’ve kept her blog and just sprinkled good posts in between the negative ones. Idk, bad decision on her part. I loved her site personally.
You are welcome ?
Yes, Gawd. I wish that was my life! ?
Ya’ll are wasting ya’ll breath. Some just dont get it smh People love to praise the like of TD Jakes, Oprah, etc. But man, if they knew the struggles those individuals had on the road to their success…
Correct
Ok………
Haha
Shuttering means to shut down.
I dont understand why she couldn’t do both…if you know something is bringing in revenue why would she stop it. Her old site wasn’t bad at all or petty. It wasn’t bias and had inspirational posts as well. I understand the moral culpability but damn you gonna stop the money??? I would have just hired a team for the other inspirational site and kept the cash flowing on the first one.
Stayed up too late, woke up eyes still burning.
Jaws still glockin’.
? thanks
I do it all the time. I like to travel but don’t have unlimited funds (or vacation time). I struggle some months, but I make it work somehow though.
Folks do it all the time………..see some comments below in this VERY post. It can be done. Ask me how I know. I try to go on a trip at least twice a year. Almighty bless.
No, it’s less expensive and does the same thing if not better. Rids the body of toxins and helps with sorry muscles and is relaxing.
yes! seems very fake
It wouldn’t be the same but I’ll take another Girlfriends type of show over all of this reality TV we have now.
Jaws still glockin???
That’s some real Lil’ Kim – Nicki Minaj type of sh*t !
FYI: Shutter means to close a business. Google it. Shutter: to close (a business, store, etc.) for a period of time or forever. Source: Merriam-Webster’s. I don’t blame you, hun. I blame America’s public school system.
Let me setup this “GO FUND ME ” account.
THIS! My bills are paid and I can survive off of two ice cubes and a half jar of peanut butter. But I get out of my city limits.
Regina George.
Did she go back to Sinsaysionals?
https://m.yelp.com/biz/sinsaysionals-seabrook
Ha, U are a damm fool, LMBO!!!! Not the go fund me account
I know what Epsom does, but the lavender made it seem “fancier”. LOL
Like Juvenile.
Thanks, hun! ?? ?
Sure do. I felt like him and Kendrick this morning
She done gave up on being a blogger now she makes beaded jewelry and flavored popcorn smh
*nose laugh*
What post are you reading, hun?
Queen Sugar is everthing! This season of AHS seems like it’s going to be wack. That premiere episode was trash. Oh and Cuba Gooding is in this season. Ryan keeping his lights on this year ?
+1. Some people’s priorities are to travel.
Lord knows I’ve been having a fit for the past few months because I’ve been all up and down CA this year but haven’t stepped outside the state lines.
For who? Me? I also take foodstamps. I’m not picky.
And since I have a passport, I try to make good use of that. Every 2 years if I can!
??? she hits with all my life in had to fight. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/b029c76378ea5eb0d17be0ae40b316f329298b08b0b47105020d3c5aaea4a82e.gif
Maybe she should just bring back NecoleBitchie and fill up her bank account.
Well Ms. Sandra you must expand your brand. Karen Civil is an author, a philanthropist, probably into fashion, she has her hands in many things. And with the IRS, seek a payment plan. Good luck, you deserve it. Many, Many people love your blog.
Your priorities are NOT hers …simple
In summation she working on it and guess what…It’s typically hard for one to admit they were faking the funk. That’s why I tell my story, it may help someone…
Incog-knee-gress – I got mad respect for you, you aired some things that I was like why she say that, but in the end I know you helped someone. It’s all just a journey.
No matter your age, social status, income or culture.
Best of luck to her and all.
Don’t get a swole head just yet. Lol
You are on one today lol but thank you for getting me together!!
lavender is soothing and calming.
You not stunting for the gram.
I need you to get out my head. Wait better yet stay there so I don’t have to font
I pray this sister a healing and restoration in her life. I know she is a hard worker. This Business ain’t easy is it Sandra Rose. I too wanted to write and be in the blogosphere by suggestions of other people who know what I am capable of, but it’s a hard damn job, and tough skin is needed. She’ll bounce back because her name rang out, just like Sandra’s.
Girllll ??
I remember trying to read NB blogs but every article was so happy and positive and I’ll admit I don’t read celebrity gossip for that so I stuck with SR because she tells it like it is
Sometimes your accounts aren’t set up like that…Sometimes you gotta explore your town and state. Nothing wrong with that.
I love Nicole,she is an inspiration.”Press the reset button as many times as you like.”
Be Better Not Bitter
Sandra this is sad I remember a lot of posts where u went out your way to dog her out! Are u smiling now?
Amen!
Yes. Once a year “if ya nasty”. LOL I tell my daughter all the time….”You’re young. Bulk up your passport and bulk up your resume.”
Am sorry but I almost screamed …????
You will not KNOW if you don’t try. TRY it, I’ll visit your blog.
Exactly. Now she needs to put on her manager hat and protect his career. I see the son into Becky’s.
Maybe she feels like she’s outgrown NB mentally and spiritually. Yes, it could bring her revenue. But what’s the point of doing something you mentally aren’t tied to anymore? Just for the money? All that glitters ain’t gold and all the gold ain’t reality.
You betta say that!
I’m attending CitiRama tomorrow. LOL
Sandra you next.
I think the bulk of us from when it was pics mostly shared have always been here but don’t comment. I check your site every morning but I go months without logging in to comment. Used to like concrete loop but we all know what happene over there. I like that you have remained authentic. You have not succumbed to the advertisements dictating the direction of your blog. I appreciate that.
Right .. lol. I never left.
After the way she use to kiss JayZ and Beyonce ass and kiss up to other celebrities she broke? lol….Shw should have stuck with the original program of a gossip blog, get your money and don’t worry about friends in this cut throat world!
Yes! Ain’t nothing like being well traveled. ???
Arizona is lovely, life changing even for some. I’m sure she’ll figure it out.
Been lurking on your blog since ’08 but never really knew the backstory or origin of contention between you & NB. Makes complete sense …
That blogger is you? Her gossip blog was very popular..I wonder why she didn’t have someone manage her money if she couldn’t…
Stop saying this Aunite
Lol.. this pic tho.
“This Business ain’t easy is it Sandra Rose.”
^^^^
No it isn’t, hun. It’s hard work.
Right. Have to stay home so I can get out next time.
Me too ????
Talking bout it was just once. Negro please.
You better keep doing it too. Chit, if you waited until money was just right to travel, you wouldn’t have half the stamps in your passport. Traveling is everything ???
Love this comment!
Perhaps Diddy or Tyra can still use a Assistant? 0_o
No. Next question.
When RalpAngel pulled that gun out. My my my.
Keep praying for my downfall hater.
I think slot fo the blogs went kiss ass when the advertisement push started happening. So glad the banners have died down.
? i didnt know. I wasn’t lurking back then.
Exactly but I do think she should help his funky butt. For better or worse right?
She had a staff. Let them do the blogging.
Tuah, the same ppl with this mind set be the same ones tho that be at the bigger celebs for not having morals or doing whatever for some coins ….pick a side
So Tacky ?
Necole keep your head up.
Yew STEAL cute ? and I learned about SR while on your site years ago LOL. ?SR should be thanking yew for Moi ?
AND THEE ONLY way you “make it” is by taking a risk. Your site is always positive ??
She’s his manager, she better help.
Laughing about Karen… I just, nope. Not even going there.
Wow I had completely forgotten about her! i used to visit her blog for gossip (not inspiration) as well as this one. Why can’t people have checked out both? Did it really need to be that competitive?
Ain’t that it!
Lmao ???
Watch it Buster ?(Sug K)
Exactly. ?????
1) Living in NYC is no joke! She thought she was just going to come here and land a job in entertainment?! Not here! There are plenty of candidates who are degreed up and fine as hell here! I work in Corporate Finance for a Big 4. Competition in this city is beyond tough! Not only do you have to do the job – without error, you need to also look good doing it! I mean, Brioni suits good!
2) Why didn’t she invest her money?!
But you were just stating facts in this post, right? You’re not mad at all.
Bless her heart. A girl has to get it. Blogging can be lucrative, but you really have to find your niche.
Yew STEAL cute
___________
EYE see what you did there.
?SR should be thanking yew for Moi
______________
You can’t be mad at that though, this is like The Cotton Club.
Exactly. The bullied becomes the bully
#itsthetruth
?
I have been here when you started with pics, when this bish was black, when somebody turned the lights got turned on, when the gates would swing open and close…
You stayed true to you and that’s all anyone can say.
What’s for you is for you.
Off topic but what do I have to do for my emojis to work on here?
I wouldn’t do it but I sorta understand nobody wants to patronize a struggling business. Is what some people think.
Yeah, we usually on go somewhere once a year to a tropical environment…I see no need to visit hotness when It’s summer in the east.
PAY UP! ??
Guhl BYE!!
Keep trying and cross your fingers.
OMG — where is he? I loved his comments and drags. SR community used to make work days go by so fast. I would laugh all day at the commentary. I thought I was blocked a few times too when it wouldn’t work all of a sudden. I like being able to edit comments now.
LMAO
I was scared for him and proud at the same time.
Whaaa? ?
???
?
I’m loyal to AHS so I will give it a shot. I will catch up by the weekend with queen sugar
Guhl BYE!
She was too busy trying to rub shoulders with celebrities. She probably thought a baller would wife her…….smh
And if at the end of the day they can’t figure out, this might not be the site for them ???
Jk
????
I blame America’s public school system.
============
:crying1:
I feel her on so many levels. She’s trying to encourage someone to go after your dreams. I commend her. It’s hard to put your fears and failures on front street because hell we all got em
Talmbout “off topic”
???
Jk
I go in December/January.
Okay, thanks! Learn something new everyday!!
She could have just created a separate section w/in the site and just did both.. provided gossip and inspiration which is what women do everyday! #Boop
And ain’t e’en knowed it!!
I know i should not laugh but this just too funny to me.
Remember living in VA and everyone was like you so tiny and pretty move to NYC. Really…I barely finished school I don’t have any real skill set yet….Sure enough I landed a job a huge financial firm. You gotta BE sharpB. I moved back, cause only I wanted to do was party.
I respect her for following her dream! We all need more courage to go for our dreams! Sandra I read your blog all the time, and I wish you were more positive. Imitation is the best form of flattery.
I see you Ms. Sandra.
It’s fearful, but those they do tend to be more successful. Oprah..Ms. Banks. Put it out there, folks like to see you vulnerable. They feel like they can relate to you.
Every little step, Babes!!!
Borrow a helmet ?
Who?
I only visit SandraRose. LOL
Ok…and mto and fameolous, and reluctantly, bossip.
What that?
??????
When will my kids go trick or treating in September? Are you going trick or treating later? ????
Still laughing at that.
Lemme tell you bout Sandra’s racist ass ??
That comment brought tears to my eyes.
did she call herself a huge success?
“Before I became this huge success.”?
Ugh I wanted to feel sorry for her but she’s a victim of her own creation.
Which you were apart of.
A helmut. TEARS
Financial firm associates are infamous for partying and coming in the next morning clean as hell! Ready to work and everything.
I thank her for giving you me!! CTHU!!!
TEARS
In this raggedy muthafugga
I can’t stop laughing…
Her site was boring. Too much celebrity butt kissing.
Naw, she just refuses to spell right!! LOL
Me too. I think that white man had something to so with it. I’m rooting for him the most (Ralph Angel)
Exactly…they get mad when you state the facts and stop sending you backpacks/goodies and such. Then we’re forced to choose whether we want to keep the long suffering wife and mother or the short and insecure cheater.
Boths hands ?
Dew yew even know yur name??
?
I hope all goes well for her in whatever she decides to do. I commend her for taking a leap of faith, that in itself takes a lot of guts. In life we have to fall in pursuit of following our dreams and that’s okay. Just don’t stay there and hold your head in shame. Hopefully she can find a way to combine the two.Wishing her the very best moving forward,
yes, I learned later to carry a full set of work clothes, pillows, towels etc in my car…champagne. Remember dating this guy…he was are you homeless…Nope just prepared.
Toes ?
You are on one tuh-day!!! But nobody got a Hun, yet so we goodt!!
EYE got my stopwatch out! ?
Then she slammed ole girl phone down!! ?? That other alabaster pulled out her phone trying to sneak record.
Eyes
Me and dude got our life to that there ish bout 4 times last night. Walking around asking each other that.
???????
That’s the problem with black people. We feel like no one else can do what we do and if they’re successful they “stole” something or need to “give due respect”. Unless Sandra Rose was THE FIRST black blogger, she owes “respect” and credit to someone else. Nicole was an awesome blogger and should relaunch her page. Period.
When I tell you that made my damn week. The whole vid is hilarious. Dude in the red fixing them chips to perfection to be front row at that read ???
Lmao!!!!!
Sandra got to stuttering when that manager got on the phone.
Auntie’s thick skinned , it’s ok
Criss cross applesauce
I take THAT as ah KNOW ???
??
You know he don’t like Sandra so he was not gone miss a minute.
Member Chinese Jumprope????
But why you got to kick someone in the teeth when they are down? Smh.
#petty
Lol!!! Seriously though…my comment won’t post when I use an emoji.
????
As yew should…. Okay…. Who’s next?!
????
?SamEYEam
Y’all got jokes. I’ll bbl.
I can’t stop laughing at that. She was tight. When in the middle of September will they go trick or treating?!! I died
Kan’t
?
Kona ..
We waiting on yur Emojis????
Yas
she’s uhhh…so unintelligent. a lot of it i overlooked until she sounded out the B in debt. eek!
?? I’m seriously tearing now. I gotta watch this again. Vid of the year contender in my book.
Don’t be ah quitter!
Not in this post ???
So serious.
This post is a WARNING to all the wannabe bloggers.
CTHU!!
Who’s your carrier ? Metro PCS ..lol but idk what to tell you …
Charles is still here.
Beyonce
He kept fixing that shelf all while thoroughly enjoying every second.
Yes honey ?? Idk but he was hilarious, he use to give Sandy heck she couldn’t ignore his crazy behind comments he was a whole hot mess of fun.
THAT video was the highlight of my night. Because ALL the Family Dollars DO be raggedy as fukk! AWL OF’EM!
Just asking ..are you saying she’s unintelligent BC of her dialect ?
I said she gave YOU Me, not the other way around, CRAZY!! You are welcome!! LMBO
Fluffs my pillow and adjust my blanket…
Loved every moment of it ??
LOL @ not in this post.
I know lol all I can do is believe in her hopefully she will find her niche’
I used to live in NYC, so know how that is. The housing, and other expenses is ridiculous, especially if you want to live in Manhattan or close to it. A friend of mine pays almost $2k for a 1-bedroom in Queens, and I’m in down south paying less than $1k for a 3 bedroom house in a gated community in GA.
I’ll always love NY, but I’d never go back.
I been bitching about their raggedy ass for 16 yrs now. I shop there once in awhile.
Exactly….This post is such lies!!!
“Where everybody knows your naaaammmmee… And they’re always glad you caaaaaammmmmee. You wanna be where you can see, troubles are all the same. You wanna be where everybody knoooooows. Your name.” LMAO
Its crazy bc they will open up one here. It be NICE as HELL. Go back few months later….raggedy. We went to one and Dub21 was like didnt this one JUST open at the start of 2016? Why the shelf falling down ALREADY?
Abosolutely!
Lies….That is not what that video is saying…
she isn’t too broke, she’s in Vietnam right now….I believe her spending isn’t on a baller level and that she’s sort of been forced to turn down a little bit.
You’re a very patient and supportive spouse. God Bless you
Yes. Clearly. Some things are just basic English.
Shit always looks like a flea market ….
Man I went into one of the 50 billion ones on every corner and the ceiling had fallen down…………on the “Employment Opportunity” computer.
? whet?
Or like it’s a Liquidation Sale in there.
Broke or not………those hands are the size of a man’s, baby.
Between that and the chick knocking ole boy out for snatching her ponytail, it’s been a funny week.
LOL she’s not my girl…she’s just a bestie but thats my baby
And yes, the store was indeed raggedy ???
??? I missed that
Right, Sandra only let you join once a year. The door would be open for maybe two days. You could only registered from a secured email address, like work or cable. Unfortunately, I was in school at the time and couldn’t afford cable. Then disqus happened ??? now I can comment in the garden, but I still lurk and laugh and side eye….lol
??
Mama’nem be making me take her there. Then she sits out in the car while I “run in for her”.
THIS, my friend, is very true. Oh, the tales one could tell…?
Sandra get us the hell outchea
She could be on assignment.
& they only got 2 WHOLE ppl working in the store ..the same person on returns gotta check you out too ..???
Omggggg lmfao!
Yall seen the one where the folks walking down the street with the casket?
Who gone poach me Boo? I appreciate the work of all black bloggers, because I know how much effort and endurance it takes.
No I have not what in the world
ALWAYS! I think it’s in their store manual or something.
Man listen. They down in Nawlin’s. Just two guys pushing a casket and signing.
You’re cool Ms. Rose. I’ve been a fan for YEARS. Great example of preserving to get to your end results. This is another great example of staying in your own lane. Too often we find folks paying attention to what others are doing and losing focus on themselves. Tunnel vision…tunnel vision.
Typo
Don’t should be doesn’t ???
I wonder if a “go fund me” will pop up. It better not. I wish someone would pay for that Brazilian lacefront maintance.
I ain’t got the time ..like my boo said not in this post .
YAAAAASSSSSS! John and Demetri…….O’an Sandra. But she prolly gone by now.
I was always right here at 9 o’clock AM since 2004 checking for pics of my future husband up in the club. Victory comes to those who preserver.

You don’t have ig?
:2dance:
EYE red that backwards. So that’s that??
??
Y’all are killing me but I can handle it. I lurked forever so I knew what I was possibly getting into when I posted it. Hmph!
Who else wanted to buy her blog besides Ray J though?
Welcome ..?
But why the mama didn’t have on no bra?
Sandra….new post please. I’m being roasted. Lmao!
Necole Bitchie went into “debp”.
Or what about the one where the dude is telling the girl how to take care of her baby. Sound JUST LIKE those old school mama’s. I was weak when he said “you bout to make me grab custody…..”.
Right..lol
IDK but I heard that and I was like just like his bish ass to wanna be a damn blogger. I cant stand Willie Ray Junya
Ain’t no difference between her or her staff blogging. You know that if you own a business and have staff, you still have to tend to that business even if occasionally, right?
Are you new? Welcome. You ever had pink eye? If so how many times? Mode of transmission? Welcome again…
He probably would’ve spint it like thisis50.
Worldstar crushed 50’s site.
Whatcho name il, again?
I remember that… I felt like I had to choose. lol
I luv his petty ass..
You the real mvp
What was your previous name?
Nah it’s on SR or our LSI.
She wrote watt NB don’t know! ?And she’s British ? Quane’s Anglish ?
How you feel abt groceries ?
No?
This happened to me in a way. Family member coming up expo weekly asking probing questions about my venture. It’s family. I answered until I realized she was asking about branding and labeling and just too much. About 5 months later her daughter in law launched a skin care business using the name of one of my products as the company name ? Only difference is as beautiful as her packaging was it came out of jars unlike mine. Can’t find it online now. Wonder about that sometimes.
when you need to do yo job
I actually liked her xonecole blog. but she didn’t have enough content. a lot of the stories repeat every six weeks or so. And many of them focused on the vagina.
YES!
Awh I feel bad for her. Saying prayers, nice girl.
I saw yesterday! When he said don’t make me gone down and get custody. Tell me why my momma said that with my oldest ??
Anything for you.
She’s going YouTube at the wrong time. They are no longer monetizing some videos.
Obviously. It was merely a suggestion. Calm ya tits.
She going to raggedy ass family dollar. Quick store run ?? I can’t do that with these d’s but more power to her
This links up to my pink eye qrest-ions
What’s PG?
???
Haha
Oh my has sis .let me think of something else ..
Yes honey braiding some cornrows @ $10 per head will add up.
Leave my flip flop boo alone ?
Naw. This good enough lol
Are you male or FEE-MALE (in my Donna Goudeau voice)
???
Dammit ..lol I was typing this …
Prince George’s County.
I grew up around there.
You like mens or wimins or boff?
*genetically
*sigh*
I only got THIS ?
Cause we is one person Nucy. We part of the same place. We is part of the same time.
Or none??
How many other ways can you catch pink eye
Aye-sessual
I didn’t finish the whole video but I commend her or anyone for doing what they feel is THEIR purpose. That being said, a few comments.
1) I kinda feel like this is a marketing ploy. Which may turn out to be very successful for her. Especially seeing as how she managed to get featured on SR’s blog.
2) You had “top success” for 8 yrs but you managed to go broke three times in a six month period, while launching a blog from your living room. I can’t think of a few other lessons she can take away from that experience…seriously.
3) She had the opportunity to have investors but chose not to, simply because she wanted to do it on her own. But, she already proved that she could do it on her own with her first blog. Had she said she did it because she didn’t want to have outside input or influence, I would have understood, but the reason she gave was dumb as hell to me.
When you self pleasure…do you click a mouse or pull a joy stick?
All I know is it comes from butt crumbs
Whatever you do don’t be no sensitive ass, lame ass and more importantly self hating. Welcome ?
+1. All I can handle
This crossed my my mind several times
1) I kinda feel like this is a marketing ploy. Which may turn out to be very successful for her. Especially seeing as how she managed to get featured on SR’s blog.
Nucy?
I go on to lurk and post here and there. Perfect for my introvert ass
Girl, if you aint got the time, use your little time wisely and move on. Yes, there is this thing called ‘scroll’. It works wonders.
Female! I’m in tears….these questions…….
Girl yall handing out packets???
Why would she abandon the site that was successful? This does not make sense…
Yew hah bay-bees?
Yew got a huh-band?
Iss he gudd tew yew?
In my Asian nail tech voice.
If you pronounce your words the same incorrect way and are offended, please keep it to your self. IDGAF!
But why would she give up the blog to start the SAME type of blog? Doesn’t make sense…
LMAO….falls out at desk (I didn’t watch the video). I was watching a special on Toni Braxton and Miss E was talking about the girls, and something to the effect: “these are my children, they came out of my wounD” I fell off the bed and rolled out the door. LOLOLOLOL
I never left even after being banned?, I must admit I was a pancake though I would flip from her blog stories to yours reading and giggling all day, work was a breeze.
Idc enough to watch the video. New post ahora ?
Random first thought: I hope she gets some discount Nikes while she there.
She had to abandon her ‘successful’ site because she became friendly with the subjects. I bet the truth became difficult after that.
Yall ain’t right ain’t sent me nar pack
Why not do both? I read here and on Bossip. And in Instagram I post.
Honestly I don’t remember. I signed up once long before disqus…commented like 2 times a couple years ago…tried to recover info before starting this account but my email wouldn’t go through.
What do you mean by linking? I’m having a slow blond moment. You mean she would add links in her comments to her site?
I was thinking the same thing. It’s always like that in life though. Two people start off on a path. One is more successful than the other. The one that’s less successful harbors resentment against the more successful one and is waiting for their chance to overshadow the more successful one. When the less successful one finally gets a chance, all their true feelings are exposed (jealously and envy) and they give their inspirational ex-friend their new famous ašš to kiss. Never thinking they’ll one day fall from grace. But the original successful one (if they’re smart) will remain strong (even alone) and preserver. This is why you never dog people out when you finally get a little shine. Just like you saw them on the way up, you’ll see them on your way down. Stay humble my friend. This also, teaches the original successful one, who is really their friend. People always expose their true feelings about you, when they think you have no one else or are down and out. Then when your back on top, they try to flip it like it was you who had the problem with them. I can’t make this shït called “life” up. It is what it is.
April
Right. I’m not about to watch anyone crying on video ???
wounD…lmao..
I ain’t eating nobody a** and if he asks….he’s out the door.
She explained it… She wanted to do something other than gossiping about other lives.
It wasn’t. There wasn’t any gossip.
Am I missing something. Her vlog was her sharing her inspirational journey to success upon leaving her blog. Not that she’s suffering as a result of. Hmmmm
A celebrity would give her more than that.
Hey y’all! So is she broke for real or she is doing this for publicity?!
Hey nothing wrong fantasizing about that. As the common person who isnt subjected to celebs, I wish I can land big with someone well stacked.
GOODness! Getcho govt nam offa here ????
Same qrestions.
Is you male or female?
You got some chiren?
Where you work?
Signifigant other/spousal information.
You Republicant or Democrat?
You went to college or you a life educated someone?
Murder Inc or DTP?
Do you eat ass, suckle on dack, suck toes or nah?
Have you ever had pink eye?
How the hell you find us?
Do we really care??
This crossed your mind several times? You? Really? Baby girl let me tell you something. I saw my savings/security blanket dwindle in December. All of 30 days. I invested in something that fell through. It happens. I feel stupid, naive, drained…You name it. Now if I go on Oprah and share my story with the hopes of inspiring, AND rejuvenating interest in my project, am I wrong for that? Ploy or not, I lost my ass, and not in a good way? I’d gladly testify if one of the benefits meant new life, new hope for that which I went out on a limb for??
lmfao and ‘sussessss. smh
Nope.
This post is pure comedy. WTF..yall drinking already?
Barely in life far less a video ??

@Sandrarose I thought I read on here that Necole was an alcoholic
It’s murdahhh ???
I wish.
Hey YEW
Who the hell would say murder INC over DTP?! I guess
Where? Did they find out you eat ass or summin?
Yasss…. Sandra was a fantastic photographer; big ups to her for looking out because I’ve noticed throughout the years she’s always given props to other photographers here on the blog. Kudos because no matter how much people drag Sandy she has looked out for a lot of people; that’s until folks become “ex-friends of da blog” ???
I sang it beliw? When did that question make it to the packet ??
I think that means deep into debt.
I sure as hell hope you not one of them April’s that was born in October.
Yes
Exactly
A lot of folks sadly.
Hey boo hey
I gotta say it real. Those many years ago I would lurk on Sandra Rose page I remember her clearly. At that time there were gossip sites and being a blogger was starting to really pop as well as YouTube channels. I don’t necessarily think she got the idea from Sandra Rosa but I think she got the formula the format. She was the it girl she had the look, the celebrity connections, the celebrity hookups (cough, Try Songz) lol.
Honestly her downfall was when she thought she can migrate into the Hollywood scene on a higher level it just didn’t happen
I inserted it.
Total help me sang…

Are you lazy
Are you fat
Are you a single mama
How many baby daddies you got
Do you hear your kids
Murder Inc. or DTP
???
That’s true you shouldn’t celebrate it. But if a mofo got karma he/She deserved I would at least smile and feel gratification deep inside. Would I get punished for that ?
It was a spectacular fall from grace for a woman who was once the most celebrated black blogger in the blogosphere
______________
Sandra is that you …I’m shocked lol no too many packs of yaki references *grabs popcorn and scrolls back up*
spectacular fall from grace *hollers*
I was close. I aint eem know yall were real until I was in middle school and on the radio one day the DJ was like HBD shoutsout to April XYZ. It was cold AF outside okay? Like Jan. I was like wait a minute.
…is that a caucasian ballsack with stubble on it in your avatar?
I’m. FANCY!
How many times can you hear oh baby, my baby, or it’s murderrrrrr. No thanks.
I know an April born in March ???
Right. I like the question though.
Do you get up with your kids on Christmas or lay your ass in the bed all day?
Do you have direct deposit? Or a Rush Card? Or are you still picking up your paycheck after 2 pm on payday?
Hollywood Street King gets stories from this blog and a lot of times they do not credit @SandraRose
Meh…That sounds good out loud, but when I have to resort to selling sperm to supplement, then what?? I don’t even think they accept donations from people me and Sandra’s age?
Female
Yes two boys ages 1&2
In home support services 10 years strong
If you consider the school of hard knocks
DTP
Been known to sucka mean dack
No Pank eye chile..
Can’t rember it’s been so long
Release the cracken ??
It’s been awhile. It had to have been in 2011/2012 before the format changed.
Her ass came early and her mama wont prepared.
Welcome!
It was a spectacular fall from grace for a woman who was once the most celebrated black blogger in the blogosphere
______________
Sandra is that you …I’m shocked lol no too many packs of yaki references *grabs popcorn and scrolls back up*
spectacular fall from grace *hollers* like Bey
No, no, no, my sistah. You’ve got to get your own.
Nope not lazy
YUP FAT
nah there dad is around
1
But of course dear
I was being facetious?
Indeed.
Makes sense lol. I wonder if August Alsina was born in August…..
Who verified the mean dack..one man or many?
Democrat
I read on here an insinuation that she had anorexia. Well, it was a “Medical Minute” and Sandra posted Nicole’s pic.
Im fat TEW! Yasss.
Well Sandra you’re story inspired me because without me saying too much..I CAN RELATE. When you inspire someone and they finally get a chance to shine, they should give credit where it’s due. I’m glad you stayed strong and never gave up even though many rolled out. That’s what’s up. Many blessings and continue to keep us entertained. Thank you!!
It’s an optical illusion?? Much like the age old ink blots test, the visual varies depending on the viewer. When I look at it I see Beyoncé and JayZ frolicking on a beach just as the sun sets??
He a junya
I was almost an April (born in May) until grandpa told moms she might as well name me April May June lol
What most people don’t know is that Necole built her audience by poaching readers from another top black blogger in 2007.
She craftily used that blogger’s platform to launch Necolebitchie.com in late 2007.
_______________
oh we know chile and we’re still here
My fellow Taurus lady. I aint eem know I dont think. Yasss
Up on Christmas NO ONE is more excited than me ..even listen to tlc christmas on Pandora
Check comes in mail owe the bank some coins don’t judge
Do you let kids climb fridges cause you too lazy to fix them food?
We will just say that I have been delivert ??
I done pure had a check coming in mail too few years ago over the same stuff. No Judgement from me.
Oh…At least his birthday is close. He’s an early September baby per wikipedia. I kinda like his name.
For shame.
*hollers*
I see clearly what she’s doing she’s created this Channel with this heartfelt intro message to get her old followers buzzing and talking about her and then following her Channel which will eventually equate to Necole Bitchie spin off TV show. She wants the blogs to post this video just as Sandra Rose did. Borderline genius if you ask me. I’m sure if I go to IG today Necole Bitchie is trending.
lmao is this the new packet Dubb
Got w/ them ppl.
I love that name too. He a virgo??? yasss.
New Post
Stop asking for specific Posts !!
The short version. This aint eem my JAWB.
Omg Sandy. You took clips of this video and turned it into something else LOL
Thanks darlin
Do you have direct deposit? Or a Rush Card? Or are you still picking up your paycheck after 2 pm on payday?
^^^^^
Listen…..I almost got fired that day lurking on this site. When taken asked her when was the last time she got paid….I yelped so loudly ???
I think her spirit was what broke. So called regular people broke and entertainment broke has been established as different things. It’s that spirit tho. Regular folk broke can continue to blend. Recognizable folk can not. If this was a story of a Black woman who lossed everything the comments may be different. No lowkey snickering. Then again, we do go hard at each other? I for one don’t criticize the fund me accounts. Anyway, yeah.idk. I wish her well??
DO YEW WATCH ‘POWER’ WITH YOUR 6 YR OLD?
Ahhhh ???
????????
Nah I put the kids to bed early on Sunday and Monday
Hey my luv ???..how ya day going ?
Good answer! But yur ah Virgo, so EYE already know yur Perfect! ????
Same here…I’ve been lurking 8 years and had no clue what the problem was….
Look at you stepping up.
We still here?
Gots be able to hear ghost and nem
Fat girls unite?
Speaking of DTP…what happened between Luda and Shawna? She was the bomb.
Fine girl my off day got me a chicken in the crock pot.
“Me and Sandra’s age” ???
Hillary 16 dead or alive ?
So was she not making huge money with Nicole Bitchie. How do blogs make money and i wonder what kind of money can a blog make
Stay honest with folks Nicole and watch something shift for ya … Got nothing else
LOL I know, just trying to stay on topic.
That was a dumb move on her part. If that’s what she really wanted to do, she would’ve had both blog running in tandem.
OMG…with all that drama, what the hell is she dancing and smiling for? Geez she;s so weird and socially awkward. I never thought of her as much of a celebrity gossip blogger because she didn’t dish much gossip, and she rarely ever put people on blast. Necole is a kiss-ass and an opportunist. And a narcissist too. Does she think newer, hungrier bloggers were gonna just sit still while she goes through these bizarre life moments?
Blogging has changed, and so has its impact. Advertisers know that. And so does the industry. And she’s been forgotten. Get over it!
But I was told she’d been trying to make a play at Essence.com but that she wanted to essentially have the same power as the editor over there–and make more money. That’s what I was TOLD, don’t quote me.
Necole was never a gossip blogger because she was always focused more on building bridges to nowhere: she thought some of these celebs and check signers were her “friends”, but they only fucked with her to further their goals.
She needs to move on. Her time has passed and her blog is such a snoozefest.
Both Sandra and I are two fumbled steps and a hip replacement away from Shady Pines?? She more than I?
?????..I over drafted a month ago & started to say fuk Whitney ..I cud cash my check at the sto….
SHUSH (whispers in your ear) Didn’t say it was a bad thing. Back in 08, I lost over 60k…Let me tell I felt like I wanted to jump off a bridge. I had lived my parents for 4 years, making great money bought a brand new condo paid my mortgage for 6 months and just let my most of my income go into my 401k…Then yhittey and his chums on their sails boats, 30 thousand sq feet mansion in Italy and Hamptons. My dumb broke ignant ass living in two brandnew condo thinking I’m the shit.
But not it crossed my mind again, when I thought about HOW I DROVE FROM CALI TO VA CAUSE MY HUSBAND WAS HABITUAL CHEATER AND BEATER
THEN IT CROSSED MY MIND WHEN I LOST MY JOB, AND I WAS TOO PROUD TO ASK MY DAD TO HELP ME OUT.
THEN IT CROSSED MY MIND AGAIN THAT I DATED THIS JEVOAH WITNESS, WHO WAS SO STRANGE. I FELT LIKE HOOKAH, BUT HE HELD IT DOWN.
YEAH IT CROSSED MY MIND, Hi AND goodbye
Walmart on mine $3
I want a crock pot , so many awesome meals ..enjoy ya off day luv
Did we not learn anything from Mase?
hehehe
Look ho , I wasn’t talking to you. You should’ve took yo own advice & kept scrolling but since you wanna go there ..yes ,sugar & dumb you sound stupid asf saying someone isn’t intelligent BC of their dialect. Pronunciation or lack there of has no bearing on your intelligence ..
That went over my head. What were we supposed to learn from Mase?
???
I agree, don’t cut your lifeline until the other is up and running!
Watt?! ?
I sure hope she keeping her legs closed, cause ain’t no way I’mma be homeless opening my legs. That’s a NO partner!
? I have Faith that you can do it! ?
So, do it! ?
She isn’t smart at all my God,who in there right mind would leave a successful business venture with no savings ?! Smh
She was stealing BOSSIP & YBF fans. Couldn’t handle it doe.
Hate chu …
It varies. Most dont make that much, but some can make a lot.
Some examples:
https://amylynnandrews.com/how-much-do-real-bloggers-actually-make/
Coming Up Roses – Erica was making about $1400 at the end of 2015.
Arts & Classy – At the end of 2015, Meredith was making about $5000 per month.
Becky & Paula – Becky & Paula each have their own blogs but share their income reports on their joint blog. As of 2015, Paula was making about $5000 per month and Becky $40,000. (They also occasionally share the income reports of other bloggers too.)
Just a Girl and Her Blog – At the end of 2015, Abby was making about $24,000 per month.
Pinch of Yum – As of mid-2015, food blogger Lindsay was making around $30,000 per month.
Smart Passive Income – At the end of 2015, Pat Flynn was making over $100,000 per month.
Keep Chasing the Stars – I love Monique’s transparency about her “un-income” of -$13,000 in September of 2015.
She stealing money tho
Karen Civil that is
On power can’t hear over thee toys and such
Smaht azz!! LOL
True. And that sounds pretty basic, but …
you’d be surprised how many people are book-smart but not money-smart.
wow! I never knew all of this, but I can only imagine what it must be like to go from having money and being popular to being broke. Why did she just close the other site? Why not take on a lesser role in her main money maker and let the sight keep running? I think closing the site was a terrible business move on her part. Hopefully she will learn from her mistakes
Mase left when he was hot, became a preacher got married and caught with a tyranny. He tried making a come back.
Whatever, then you wouldn’t have posted this story . You’re a spiteful woman. It’s no surprise you & Michelle Brown are “besties” . NB will be fine, she just needs to work on her brand a bit more. Humble yourself miss rose.
Nothing wrong with going broke, most millionaires and billionaires have, so they filed bankruptcy, and started over. She will bounce back.
Ahhhh, there goes that “ray of sunshine”!!
Awww you can’t steal people…. it’s free will you can visit all your favorite blogs all day, hit all your social media pages and check your many emails you have made. Multiple everything!!!! There is enough room for everyone to make a check. I hope it all starts going well for her again. YouTube will make her a nice lil check monthly tho if she does it right. Thinking of doing a channel myself. You have to forgive and move on. You don’t have to be cool as you once was, but I’m sure her lessons were learned. Karma always hits when you have wronged someone.
After I saw so many “others” go on and get rich!! Millionaire, don’t have to work and can run around spread their hate on the dollars of those accounts…………….I say have at it!! If it helps, Great!!
It wasnt really the same. One was a gossip blog the other more lifestyle based.
Lol
???
yeah me either…deep sigh
I’ve only watched two episodes so slow down gymshoe ?
I’ll KETCHUP soon ?
Yeah I remember when he was transitioning back, and his church here in ATL shut down. A lot of people were pretty shaken up by that.
Interesting that he went back to the same hip-hop world he said God had delivered him from.
Good Lord I actually watched that whole entire long azzz video and just remembered why this girl irks my nerves to the core!! Bye Ashy!! ??
Hey! Where you been? Hope you doing well, we (Brenden) was asking about you two nights ago. HUGS
You ain’t missed nothin didn’t even come on last week buuut basketball wives did ANNND I got to see Jackie Christy run over that girl one mo gin???
Smdh….embarassing.
Sandra you’re lowkey supporting her. I think you wish for her to have success.
I like her new blog. I get a lot info from there.
In the hospital, better now, thanks for thinking of me
Couldn’t watch.
Ohhhhh NO! I hope you are better now. prayers going up.

aliciabw@comcast.net
HUGS AND KISSES
IAfiya is in another post. She was ill and in the hospital.
Aww, thanks. I got cha. ??
Which post?
Okay, I deleted it
The new crazy post…with mama cussing up a storm.
Didn’t she accuse you of stalking her or something?
yup! trey songz lol
I scrolled through. Too much negative energy. I don’t see her but I’m glad she’s ok??
Wait. I just dribbled this mint cran-lemonade.
damn I remember those days. when she opened registration it was like Moses parted the red sea lol

Yeah, it’t gone left. It will give time for Sandra to come with a another story or run errands or whatever she does when leaves post up for 5 to 10 hours.

Can you believe it? Who would stalk that bag of bones?
Good look, hun. You always bring the real. ?
He really fell off too . Corny self just fell for real on the Bad Boy Reunion Tour, fell on stage trying to do his old dance moves. I don’t respect him because he did this WHOLE tour when he got saved stating he was visiting every place he rapped at and spread the word of God. He was apologozing for rapping about evil things before he got saved now he is back to doing what he apologized about. Very hypocritical . Camron said it in Pink coat years ago…
Sandra you need to go back to how your blog used to be back in the day… with the gossip and ATL shit… you be posting weird shit these days. shit about obama and mental disorders….tf?
I never thought her blog was all that good…. but it was a dumb move for her to stop blogging…
Didn’t she bleach her skin and get some surgery? I think she has some self esteem issues bless her heart. She may need a wellness check.
Lol! I’m still giving my mom a side eye.
Yesssss lol
Yea I tried to like the new site but they kept recycling stories like really?
I’m glad you’re better, hun. Be well.
LMAO! Then if I am seeing a white, stubbly ballsack, what exactly does that say about me?
Is she ok?
Sotomayer
That you’re lustful, horny?? Let me guess…You’ve seen Magic Mike recently, huh?! Yeah, that white ballsack youre envisioning , it is that of Channing Tatumn. I don’t blame you, that’s a fine ol yt boy???????
Thanks darling. You know we old skool Sandra, these youngins have to be told wassup lol.
2…..A base…..he’s an a** but we’re working it out….D….Still in college part time…Both…ummmm….no….I can’t remember but I was a long time lurker, had some favorites, took a break and came back, people changed names so I have no idea whose who but I’m still very entertained. Whew!!
Same.
She clearly should have been focused on her coins.
I loved her blog & I don’t think there’s any shame in failing she can still be great Donald Trump punk ass failed plenty of times & now he’s about to be president if white folks have their way,lol
She said, “I went into DEP,” instead of, “I went into DEBT.” WOW! Instant hate. She can’t possibly make good decisions.
ikr She should have made it as an accompaniment to her blog & hire someone to help with one while she’s working on the other
Yes
~faints~
NO DA HAYLE YOU DIDN’T!!!!
THEY may have missed this. EYE didn’t. ?
STOOPID
check with Jen. Nay.
I. Can’t. ?
Oh my GOOOOOOSH ?
So is she shutting down xonecole too? I LOVE that blog and follow their youtube channel as well.

You should have used Oprah,Jay-Z also with her failed ambitious Weight Watchers venture and that Tidal streaming venture..
Businessmen and women fail everyday regardless if you like them or not..Besides it isn’t only white folks voting for him.. Stop being fooled by what CNN and the like want you to see and think..

Yes…but your restricted commenters. Your site was very “clique-y” that could’ve been the reason why you saw low readership. I left myself.

Same here, I have been reading this blog for years and years. I barely comment tho.!
Good ?
??
The pole is always available.
she should have made 2 or added to the first one
??
I guess I’m not “old skool” because all I read in your comment was a basket of hatoration & jealousy… Did you really start talking about her private parts?? Are you made because “everyone had it” but you?!?!
Good luck to you.. I can’t wait to see how your blog does…
Oh wait………………. LOL!
Why do you sound like Sofia talking to Celie in a cornfield?
What is the back story? I heard from an interview with another blogger that you (despite whatever deep differences you two have) have advised and guided them and how instrumental you were to their success.
Now I won’t even lie and may like her blog got more than 5 minutes of my lurking. I just don’t understand the fall out and why you were never acknowledged.
I hate it for her though.
It can happen to anybody so people shouldn’t be so judgemental but I’ll be praying for her and sending nothing but positive vibes her way. That’s why these bloggers need to be very careful what they are saying about people in these blogs because Karma is a bitch
I know someone said her blog was good,
(maybe I didn’t get it). She shut down one blog and started
another…….not linked to, but started over. I always wondered. Is she
alright in the head?
Actually, her blog was never good which was all the reason for her to stop blogging
I witnessed the SR NB show down. All i can say is, dont bite the hand that feeds you and don’t take yourself too damn seriously
No, sweetie. You’re wrong.
Since your vocabulary is so limited that you have to resort to name calling, I’ll just leave you with that.
lmfaooooo so deep the B starts to cry out
Well I used who I wanted to use thank you & also I’m very aware that not only white ppl are voting for Trump I said it to be provocative I’m not fooled by anyone but thank for your “genuine” concern
A lot of what Sandra post is valuable information, her Medical Minutes, and posts about politics, media bias, the self-inflicted decline and destruction of the black family/community, self-esteem, etc. are all important things to post.
Sandra has dished out some good advice and points that have gone over so many people’s heads (based on the comments I read and I read a lot of them), I see why Sandra gets frustrated at times and want to ditch this blog and start another one with a different audience. Shoot, I experience the same frustration in my professional life too.
That is one of the strangest videos ever. Its really a rant and a cry for pity I guess. I have a feeling a Kickstarter campaign is next.
I’m starting to think Necole is mentally ill. And she really only has herself to blame for her troubles. She overplayed her hand, overestimated her value, believed her own self-created hype, gave away the cooch, and ended up with nothing. Happens every day. And people got bored with her and when her blog vanished, not a lot of people went looking for its replacement.
Necole’s blog has always been tired ya’ll just weren’t paying attention. And who does she think she’s kidding? Nobody was gonna invest in her. For what? She was a flash in the pan with an unremarkable blogging style that relied heavily on ass-kissing interviews with stars who themselves were barely hanging on to their own relevancy. Not exactly a solid foundation for reaching the Fortune 500. And I swear that’s the same weave she was wearing back when she first launched that site years ago.
Necole, honey, please retire. And stay there. And stop doing those videos. You are making a fool out of yourself. Tell auntie’s couch I said hello.
Ha ?? she still traveling and taking cooking classes on the Gram looking like she just left a job. Flossin’ game proper ?
EXACTLY!
I remember Necole from here. I never latched on to NecoleBitchie but I wished her well. I was very shocked when she shut down her highly successful blog that celebs actually didn’t mind being associated with. I figured that it would have been better for her to slowly change the content rather than abandoning it.
I commend her for wanting to be positive and uplifting to the point of not selling her blog for someone else to spew garbage from. I still wish her well and pray that she will be blessed for her positivity.
No problem Dutchess
Wish I had the chance to run out of money 3 times…. Where they do that at??
It’s dumb to leave a business that’s making money unless you already got a new job lol.. She was feeling herself too much. But she’s a pretty girl, I’m sure she can find a husband to take care of her.
I remember this but I also remember that you didn’t open up your blog to new commenters. Even though I didn’t always agree with your point of view I thought you had good articles. But your commenters were your fans that praised you all day but never really had anything interesting or profound to say about the articles. Maybe it was free of being banned. Well it got stale and boring. Some of my favorite blogs are because the comment sections are on fire. LOL. I’ve learned some interesting things just from reading a different point of view.
LMMFAO
I would read both blogs. Night and day but I appreciated both for different reasons.
You don’t need her respect … Your blog is doing well… Fugg her
Yours. You’re petty asf and passive aggressive. Move on from her and this issue before you get an ulcer. You’ve held on to this story for years.
??????
???????????
Exactly… That was why I preferred other black blogs cause you don’t have to read the tired personal bs stories from her garden family. Like who gives a fawk about you, your fam, or exes?
Nobody wants inspiration they want messiness
Through Necole B. I was introduced to Sandra Rose 7 years ago. I loved Necoles blog but I’m happy she decided to take a risk. I took one earlier this year when I went back to school. Life is about risk. You never know your potential if you don’t aim for it.
Damn!! Sandra the great hater.. Kick a lady while she down…wow.
You used to be a nicer person years ago. Yeah its me …I’m back
Wow are yall reading this… Hater #1 dizzamm…
People choose her content over yours and you got upset instead of better at what you do…
Whatever happened to the blogger Angel Laws Sandra? She had a popular blog back in the day and fell off a cliff.
I remember her old blog & the riff between these two. I also remember her “farewell” speech and thought to myself “good luck but you’ll be back.” I was following her new blog on Twitter and stopped when I realized I was posting about ? before her. Matter a fact I think she was using the same foundation to start that blog as she did the older one…….not giving credit. IMO
Exactly!!! I was just about to post that. Like bih, y didnt u just keep ur gossip site and add a link that will redirect readers to ur inspirational site…wit cho dumbass!!!
Lol hey can u reply with a pic of your avi? I want to send it to my bf lol he likes those type of animal pics ?
Oh I remember that u were asking for donations and all!! I think i gave about 20 lol i need to borrow that bk to jk
I use to love necolebitchie.com and then it went sour. Her website now is ok but what I dont like about necole is that she erases comments so much. I dont even mess with her new site. I feel like if you are positive and post something different she erases it.
Necole was too busy trying to kiss these celebrities on their ass she forgot the need/wants of her audience we want to read gossip and ratchetness….we can go to church for the motivation. Her dumbass cudve obviously continued to run the gossip site and added the inspirational site as a a sister/sub website smh what is this bih IQ bc it doesn’t make sense
Yeah. I went to check out her new blog which was geared towards young women. I suggested that she diversify her audience and she politely declined saying she wanted to focus on issues that effect young females. Oh well. If she wanted to do another blog, I would have kept my money maker going. She truly made a piss poor business decision. Sometimes you have to ignore your “morals” and go for the money. She mostly did positive stories anyway.
This does not make sense…on so many levels. She didn’t know how to grow her brand and rebrand… However I’ve been reading this blog since 2007/8 I think – When did this blog start? I only started to comment when Sandra when on the new commenting system…
Exactly
Oh my goodness. I was just thinking about Nicole I was getting ready to look her up on the internet. When she closed her site I thought she had gotten a job with mainstream media. Then I came on here and Sandra had this. Wow. Good luck to her and continued success to you Sandra.
When you lose your parents, things in life seem surreal. You end up making poor decisions out of grief thinking you can take risks. While taking risks can often lead to success,at some point you should learn how to make moves without LETTING GO OF EVERYTHING all the time. That should NOT be how you move in every facet of your life. If everytime you make a decision and leave everything behind, you have some personal demons that you need to address. And if you do want to live your life in that way, then don’t complain about the times you end up on your bottom.
She once dated Trey Songz,he dogged her out badly.
She seems like a really awesome person.
she talking about funky dineva’s nemesis and ex bestie mrs. ATLien
Concrete loop.com I believe
I never made it in time?
When the commenters use to beef, it was epic. I remember some chick name Chiby or something they use to read her for filth.
So that’s what the beef was about! Thank you for your candor and honesty.
I been on lurk mode since 06.( I think that was the year. But the site was brand new) . I actually just started commenting recently. I remember when all the NB ish went down. I never could go to her blog and look around…. But this was and always has been my #1 blog site. To be honest, I pull up this site everyday, several times a day. . I’m nosey as hell. . ??
???
??
Awww
You can AND WILL DO IT AGAIN!!
I respect the fact she went made lemonade out of lemons and will AGAIN!!!
Always gotta down somebody!!!
I never believe in kicking folks already down.. No need!!
Folks forget that they can lose too..
She’s an idiot. Ppl love when news is sensationalized and not inspirational.
She got sued so many times. @realsandrarose:disqus did try to warn her many times but Necole wouldn`t listen. I hope she will listen more to her mentors (if she has one) but the way she speaks it seems she just wants to do her…. just like on her first blog, which is cool but now it will be a youtube blog about her only… like the youtubers do already (like moiiiiii )
I JUST WROTE THIS ABOUT YOU…
see how I know you (we are friends in my head lol)
yup
Me too. I read everyday and check on Sunday’s just in case .
Wow ! I don’t know how you deal with the daily insults . It’s terrible ! People are so rude and disrespectful ! How can one presume to come on another domain and tell them off . It’s mind boggling to me .
She CLEARLY did not pass Business 101.
That’s not true Sandra, when she was shutting down her site I saw where she said u were the number one person that helped her set her site up and basically told her everything to do. Anyway that was nice of u to post this so people would find out about her new adventure and tune in if they so choose. I guess she u owes u again..
Yes I remember it was necole and that other blog “mediaoutrage” aunt Sandy use to help them both
I never left and I been checking yo blog since 2000.. I just never made an account and when I did try you weren’t accepting lol..but I’m still here checking and now posting
This isn’t funny. This is the part of tue story where you gotta hold on real tight to that dream. It’ll be worth it later on. Keep pushing baby girl
Her new blog doesnt seem authentic… Articles celebrating low brow reality chicks come on…. She has a good photographer taking pictures but those stories… whew…
Its nothing wrong with having a inspirational blog but it seemed soo fake. Some of the women that were suppose to be inspirational were anything but…. One main problem is that some people are so competitive with one another and they are copycats because they dont have their own identity. I remember when bloggers were very supportive of one another and original. Sandra Rose is one of the few blogs that still list links to other blogs which is nice. The comments on the blog is not stopped by a mediator or what I call a comment controller on others you cant write anything the mediator does not agree with or they will not allow you to post.
I used to read her blogg and she was quite successful. TBH everyone in the blogging industry is biting off someone else plate so to call out her solely isn’t right. Some of her commentators may have been drawn to her blog via yours but I don’t think its right to celebrate her downfall. You never really know what its like to win until you have lost at something. Her honesty about her situation is actually inspiring as she didn’t have to be transparent as she was. I hope each of us black woman will begin to pull each other up at some point.
That they bf? Something like that
Why didn’t she just do both?
Makes me think of Kanye’s “All Falls Down”.
Hope she gets it together, but if it was ill gained it will be lost
Agreed.
She’s hoping to make it big on YouTube. YouTube is ruthless. The big Youtubers are gamers, comics and beauty bloggers. She’s none of these. I’m a big YouTube fan and I don’t see anything attractive about her channel. She’s planning to upload twice a month. What! The money makers upload three times a week. Some of them several times a day. She should have kept her blog and started a YouTube channel. She’s pretty but not very smart.
She’s gotta learn to make better decisions. Where is all of this traveling money coming from? Could that be invested in her blog?
Her new blog targets a small audience…Young black women. There’s nothing for older women or men. She bet on a small demographic that would rather hear the latest gossip on Jay Z and Bey than how to grow a garden on your patio.
It was still NICE of YOU Sandra to post this POST
I know ya’ll history.
Things happen, gotta have passive income coming in. That blog was rolling for 8 years should of had some other investments or another business as she closed the blog. All these financial advisors out here. Shit just a small simple house somewhere would have worked..crazy.
She actually did not allow you to comment on her blog?
I and many others could never comment because Sandra blocked registration for commenting but to her chosen few. There would have been a whole lot more visitors to her site had she not chosen to do that because people were on other blog sites talking very badly about her. NB on the other hand would let you comment but as she got more successful she’d block comments she didn’t like through moderation. The issue with us black folks is that we don’t know how to agree to disagree. I don’t have to agree with you to respect your point of view. Real Talk!
You are so correct! She would not allow you to register to comment and if she did let you comment would block you if she didn’t agree with you!
GIRL, WE all are a mess, broke, busted & disgusted at some point. There is NOTHING WRONG with having a come to jesus moment. I have had several. As long as you DO NOT STAY THERE!!!! God got you!

Necole quit her blog because she wanted to be a celebrity herself and got too close with some of the celebrities she spilled the tea on so it became a conflict of interest. I feel like the site could’ve still prospered but she chose to let it go. I tried to support her newest blog but got bored ?
Excellent point. People think failure is temporary when it’s NOT. Sometimes it’s the beginning of something new and this is what happens when you go into business for yourself. I can’t speak on her character because I don’t follow her, but these trials can happen to anyone. I’ll never celebrate someone’s failure.
ALL OF THIS!!!
Tell her to create her own blog! And lol hey nothing wrong with beaded jewelry and flavored popcorn. She could make big bucks on that
THANK YOU!!!
bless her …. read my blapters/and blogs about my life on http://www.quickfame.wordpress.org
poor her. Yeah, women go church on Sunday to be inspired. M-F, they want gossip, a get away from reality. This is an example of her friends not being friends. She walked away from a brand, not a blog. Your fault and not wise. If anything, hire ghostwriters and such to keep NB going while you branch off to add to your brand, not shut it down.
I bet someone gassed her up to get her out the way so their blog can breathe and finally get more life.
Agree. You have to start downsizing when you’re convinced to take this type leap and test your livelihood. Small condo/house, pay off your car, $0 balance on your 2 emergency cards and some money in savings. Now you can venture out and try other things with your career.
U only fail if you don’t get up to try again.
yep, not sure what business classes she took in college, but you expand your brand, not shut it down.
I just posted not knowing what business classes she took, but she didn’t do too well.
a mess. this fool was paying atlien $1495 a month for RENT? Dude, ur dumb.
HA. Sandra was the “it” photographer for so many hot events in Atlanta and people, including me, would come to her site to see the pics of the hot events attended by the who’s who. This was long before reality TV bs took over. She then transitioned into blog world a couple years later.
Sandra, because so many celebrities had you come to their events, even to their homes, I would jokingly say to you along the years ‘you aint tell me such/such was selling their house.’ HA. I still remember the photos from Q Parker’s party for his son and when you posted at home with Wanda Lopes-Colemon (Lefteye’s mom). LE had that house hooked up. Such a modest home in Stone Mountain, but very nicely decorated.
What hating envious person talked her out of her lucrative career? You don’t leave a sure thing to launch an unknown. Keep that sure thing while you get the unknown popping.
1. She could have rebranded NB.com and kept that traffic popping while developing her other brand. She wanted to take the moral high ground and shame all the people who were still into gossip though and we see how that worked out. 2. XONecole’s concept was fine, but the content was trash. She’s never really been a writer, so when you go from non-writer to trying to do serious editorials, the people who like that stuff won’t be fooled. She just gon’ have to get a job like everyone else for a minute. She’ll be fine.
THIS. I launched a small business, and we just celebrated our first full year in biz this week. It took me six years to launch because I bootstrapped everything, and I STILL have a day job, and 2 roommates to keep this NYC overhead in check. You have to constantly be strategizing how to keep your brand afloat.
Yes she should I read her blog daily.
Agreed
I know Necole is a virgo, but as a someone born in September like her, I doubt if i could and would be able to record this clip unless i was high as a kite & she seemed to be sober to me-I mean like thats taking PRACTICAL on a different level & dimension-which I must say good for her spilling the beans before anybody close or around her circle had the chance to
that Checkmate move or Chess was well played koz word would have got out SOONER from other blogs about this …!???? i think,
I never understood why she walked away from her brand…she could’ve just revamped her original set up if she wanted to try something different
I’m going to write a post about what really happened to Necole, Concrete Loop, Freshalina, and other greedy bloggers.
I wouldn’t call out lacking financial education. Trump filed bankruptcy 3 times. Anyone can go broke.
Preach
It is not really the same type. There is a difference between a gossip blog and a inspirational one. I do think that she should have just included more inspirational stories as well.
On the positive side:
1. She is still Necole Bitchie
2. She still has her contacts
3. She knows how to achieve success
Bottom Line: Therefore she will do it again! So I can’t wait to hear what her haters has to say once that happens.
Right! Nicole is smarter than some want to give her credit for! Nicole did a “Reintroduce myself video” but first spilled her own TEA which made ALL of the other blogs give her FREE exposure on her new venture! She is a freaking genius, of course in my opinion.
Next
Good luck to her! She deserves it.
Oprah Winfrey, Dr. Phil, & Bishop Jakes
Watch your words and don’t be so quick to speak. The same words that she’s saying could one day be coming from your mouth. Just be careful of what you say. Wish the lady well, instead of rubbing her “fluke” success in her face. Peace
This was such a true revelation on how vicious and cut throat the business of blogging can be. Stay grounded and don’t get caught up in the hype and one will always do well. Thanks for sharing.
Did you ever write that post Sandra?
As a fellow September baby, I concur. I wish Nicole the best. I did visit her blogo and it was tame compared to others.
I think you are right. She should have kept her first website (I never knew about either website, but others did!) just in case the second website did not go well. She has tenacity. She has what it takes. Necole (I just learned about you today), you have what it takes.
WRONG. Never ignore your morals for money. That’s GREED, and greed leads to a host of corruption and countless issues of abuse. ALWAYS keep your morals, and the money will come.
I learned about Necole today when I watched her interview Jennifer Hudson. I wanted to know how educated she was because I am into higher education. Then I watched the video here. However, she has come up since then. Now watch her xo Necole YouTube channel. She has IT. She will do well. Today, I subscribed to her YouTube channel.
Beyoncé happened to ConcreteLoop the was so far up her @ss and Solange they lost readers in droves???? She deserved it too
I’m not gonna lie I use to go to necolebitchie daily, it was a ritual, then she changed it to the new one and I just can’t get into it like that.
