Do You Remember Shay’s Journey from the Past?
During a recent episode of reality television, a family discussion quickly drew Shay Johnson back into the spotlight after Bambi shared her struggles with her mother-in-law, Momma Dee. In her conversation with Sierra Gates, Bambi revealed that Lil Scrappy has been urging her to reconcile with Momma Dee, despite their long-standing issues. Bambi was clear, however, that she wouldn’t rush into mending things, especially considering the ongoing disrespect and Momma Dee’s tendency to bring up Scrappy’s past relationships, including posting about Shay and congratulating her on her new baby. This, Bambi insists, only ignites further speculation online.
After the episode aired, Shay responded on Instagram, posting a throwback clip along with a strong clarification about her history with Scrappy. She directly addressed the resurfaced narrative, insisting she was never a “side chick.” Shay expressed her discomfort with being mentioned on national television, stating: “I’ve made this clear to @tharealmommadee as well, but going on TV to label me a side chick was petty. Just to clarify, Lol I was NEVER a side chick for any man.”
