Juanita is broke and will exhaust any forms of media to get money..
But this by far took the cake, her response about suicide...
"Suicide crossed my mind ... You know, I felt hopeless," Bynum said. "I didn't because the name Bynum represents a legacy of people that have gone before me and had I done that I would have given too much power to an individual to not just wipe me out but to wipe out the integrity of the legacy I was born in."
Is that what kept you?!?!?!?!...Not God, Jesus, Salvation, Redemption, Peace, Spirit, Church, Prayer, Prayer Closet.......None of that???

Hmmm . . . this one is actually kind of a toughie. Those contemplating suicide and especially those seriously planning an attempt have to be all but devoid of peace, and any number of things can be a "trigger" to put things in perspective and halt the ideations. Imagining how hurt your friends/family would be, hearing an ice cream truck go by and remembering better times, stumbling upon a 10 year old eviction letter and interpreting it as a sign that "this too shall pass", etc. So, in that context anything is possible and I think those things probably happen quite a bit.
Now granted, this doesn't mean that her many television, radio and magazine interviews can't still be sensationalized excuses for publicity, pity and a paycheck - but I'm just a little iffy on the need to justify the suicide thing in general. Probably just that psych & service as a peer counselor from undergrad talking!

I was a Psych major too and currently working on my LPC, so in no way am I am trying to downplay suicide or the devastating effects it has on a person. You are right there are many triggers and reasons why people talk themselves out of it so trust me suicide is a very serious matter and I don't take it lightly....
Having said all that.....
I still think Juanita is full of it

I turned off my volume because I was so annoyed. She even looked insincere. Gary Coleman will be more entertaining.
My big toe is a Prophetess, btw. It received an honorary divinity degree from the French Manicure Institute.

The marriage is now over...

Related sidebar: While I was working at Curves last week, I got a call from a guy who does a local hair magazine and has this health and beauty expo each year. This year, Juanita is his special guest. I think I will be in Orlando when the expo is going on.

I thought they had been divorced a long time ago. Oh, so it is now official? I just read that article that you posted from TMZ. Surely, she didn't have sex with him after he beat her up. I guess they were meaning they slept together before the incident happened.

They need a clause that says something like, "Neither party shall bother the court with any more of this foolishness and mayhem!"
