Omari Hardick, who regularly defends his marriage to Jennifer Pfautch, clapped back something fierce. “I am not asking anything. As I stated… it is a rhetorical question we are all in the process of," the actor replied. "Whether that process is on the questioning side or the asking side. I will never answer that question from a person who proves my point in asking it with your disgraceful comment. You know nooothing about Jae nor my kids. I would NEVER disrespect your significant other or your kids. So watch your mouth in disrespecting mine a). b) This entire post of course consistent with me…proves how much i value black people, black women, black men, mySELF. A person’s life/journey mate (which if done right… has god in that choice equally) has nothing to do with that person’s value of themselves & the people that person’s culture/race.”

He added, "Meanwhile....i know not to ever send anyone i care about to you for your craft used in being a nurse. And I see you follow me. So lemme add....i equally don't trust sh*t you say. So we're even. Yet sooo not. Please unfollow me." Swipe below to read through the exchange in full.
