Tammy Rivera recently opened up about her philandering husband, Waka Flocka, and working to save her marriage after he cheated.
In her interview with Bleu Bombshell, the "Love & Hip Hop Atlanta" star rubbed a lot of women the wrong way when she stated she thinks women who leave their cheating husbands are "weak."
Tammy feels a strong woman stays and fights for her marriage and works through the issues rather than walking away.
Read a few excerpts from her interview below:
What were some pros and cons of being in a relationship that was broadcasted on tv?
Some of the cons are being criticized and ridiculed from people who really don't know your story, they don't really know the truth. You only see what we allow you to see. That's why so many people are so guarded with their relationship because they don't want to be judged. But then when you do that people say, oh well they're not being real, it's not really like that. So then once you open up and you tell, you know, okay this is what's going on. And everyone has the same problems, no one on earth has never had someone who hurt them or who has had financial problems, who haven't had infidility problems. You know, it's life. You go through all kinds of things in life. So when you do open up you have people who'll be able to say, oh she's stupid, she's dumb, or he's dumb, or he's a cheater, you know. The pros that I would say on the flip side of that are those people who understand, and who are mature enough to understand that this is the world we live in, and we are grown people we are not judgemental. They love you for being real and honest and open to who you are. That's the thing that I love. More people come up to me and they say thank you. The people that you're able to help with your story. That's the pros and that outweighs anything.

gave you the courage to stay and give your husband another chance?
Because my husband is a good man. He's a great man, and I think in today's society everything is so disposable. Times are not the same, women nowadays you know they say oh let me just do this, I can go out and find me another man, niggas aint nothing. You know, all of that, and I get it. But then on the other side you have men who aren't growing up with fathers, not making excuses for men to cheat, but you have men who never seen what a household is supposed to look like – my husband was never in a married household. He didn't know. His mom was a hustler, you know what i'm saying, she was out in the streets she was the mom and the dad. He doesn't know-he grew up in the industry. He had early stardom with his career, I think Waka was in his early 20s mid 20s when he dropped his first hit. So you have all these groupies, you have all these things but despite all of that, behind closed doors -this man loves me to death and I know he loves my child to death. He does anything for us. So, my mom always told me– you can find a man who can financially take care of you, you can find a man who might not be a cheater, might have it all together, might of grew up with a father in their household, but it's hard to find real love and a person who genuinely loves you and who is willing to change, my husband was willing to change for his family. So why would I give up on my husband. I'm not that type, I think that's weak of a woman to do that. It's easier to walk away as opposed to than to speaking up! No we're going to fight for this we got married. My family is worth fighting for.
