“Sometimes as women what we do is we fall in love and we go, ‘You know what? I’ll fix it later. For me, it was when blood was drawn,&#8221; Taraji told special guest Angela Simmons. &#8220;It started with the bruises and grabbing, things like that. And then once the fist came—I’m missing a piece of my lip to this day—that’s when I knew I had to go.”
Simmons also spoke about her <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/angela-simmons-details-being-in-a-physically-abusive-relationship-news.97541.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">experiences with domestic violence</a>, stating that once the police became involved, she re-evaluated her relationship and knew it was time to leave.
