TOO PAINFUL TO TALK ABOUT

According to Remy, the ordeal which took place in early 2017 was too painful that she refused to even feature it in their show, “Love and Hip Hop” which had already filmed the onset of her pregnancy. There were clips of her learning she was pregnant and even buying clothes for her unborn child.

However, Remy suffered from an ectopic pregnancy which led her to miscarry. This prompted her to call her producers and instruct them to scrap all footage of her pregnancy from the show. She admitted she felt scared and shameful. It was Papoose who convinced her to share her story because she wasn’t alone in her pain and journey. She wrote,

"My husband was the one who encouraged me to open up. 'Babe, the reason why people love you and relate to you is because you’re real and you’re honest,' he said."
