The Iconic Mona Samone Interviews Jela: Drama, Secrets, and the Baliggie Showdown
In what can only be described as a jaw-dropping, tea-spilling moment for reality TV fans everywhere, the ever-iconic Mona Samone sat down with none other than Jela—yes, that Jela—for an exclusive, no-holds-barred interview. From her infamous fight with Baliggie to behind-the-scenes drama, unresolved beefs, and jaw-dropping revelations, Jela did not come to play. And with Mona at the helm, you know no topic was off-limits.
Let’s set the stage: Mona Samone, a legend in her own right, known for bringing the mess, the glam, and the truth to light, was decked out in a glittering emerald gown, hair laid to the heavens, and eyes sharp as ever. Jela, unapologetically bold and beautiful, sat across from her in a sleek black jumpsuit that screamed “I said what I said.” The energy in the room? Electric.
The Baliggie Brawl: What Really Happened?
Mona didn’t waste any time getting into the thick of it. The first hot topic? The explosive altercation between Jela and Baliggie that had the internet in a chokehold for weeks.
“So, Jela,” Mona began, one eyebrow raised, “let’s talk about that night. You and Baliggie. Whew, baby. What went down?”
Jela took a breath, then leaned in, her voice calm but with unmistakable fire underneath.
“I’ma be real with you, Mona. I walked into that room with peace in my heart. But Baliggie? She came in looking for smoke. And baby, when you look for fire, don’t be surprised when you get burned.”
According to Jela, tensions had been building for months. “There was a lot of behind-the-scenes shade. Sneak disses on IG, little slick comments during filming… She thought I wouldn’t notice, but I’m too grown to let things slide like that.”
The final straw? A comment Baliggie allegedly made about Jela’s family during an off-camera moment. “That’s when I knew she wasn’t just playing reality TV. She was playing dirty.”
Jela went on to say that although she regrets how far the fight escalated, she stands by defending herself. “I’m not going to let anyone disrespect me or mine. Period.”
Mona’s Take: Instigating or Investigating?
Of course, it wouldn’t be a Mona Samone interview without a little stirring of the pot. At one point, Mona turned the tables and asked Jela whether she played a role in escalating the drama.
“You’ve got a strong presence, Jela. Do you think maybe your energy triggers people like Baliggie?”
Jela smiled. “I think my confidence triggers people who aren’t secure in themselves. But that’s a them problem, not a me problem.”
Touché.
The Sisterhood, or Lack Thereof
Moving on, Mona brought up a topic many fans had been wondering about: Jela’s strained relationships with some of the other cast members. Specifically, the so-called “sisterhood” that was supposed to be a key theme of the season.
“Let’s talk about the other girls,” Mona said, flipping through her notes. “There were moments when it looked like you were on your own. Do you feel like the other women turned their backs on you?”
Jela nodded, her expression serious. “Absolutely. There were moments when I felt like the odd one out, like no matter what I did, I was the problem. But I realized quickly that some of these women only understand sisterhood when they’re in control. The second you speak up, suddenly you’re ‘aggressive’ or ‘doing too much.’ Nah. I’m just not fake.”
She name-dropped a few cast members (cue the gasps), including one who allegedly tried to sabotage her behind closed doors while smiling in her face. “She knows who she is,” Jela said with a knowing look. “The streets know, too.”
Rewriting Her Narrative
What truly stood out in the interview was Jela’s clarity about wanting to reclaim her narrative. For too long, she said, people have tried to reduce her to “the loud one” or “the fighter,” when in reality, she’s a whole lot more.
“I’m smart, I’m strategic, and I’m intentional about everything I do. But reality TV loves to paint Black women in one shade—angry. I’m not angry. I’m passionate. I’m expressive. And I’m not going to dim myself to fit someone else’s comfort zone.”
Mona nodded in agreement, visibly impressed. “That’s powerful. And necessary.”
The Tea You Didn’t Expect
And just when you thought it couldn’t get juicier, Mona brought out a surprise—screenshots of some shady DMs allegedly sent by Baliggie to another cast member after the fight, trying to spin the narrative in her favor.
Jela? Unbothered.
“She’s been playing victim since day one,” she said. “But the truth always comes to light. Those DMs? They just prove what I’ve been saying: She’s manipulative. And desperate.”
Not one to miss a moment, Mona asked, “Do you think there’s any chance at reconciliation?”
Jela laughed. “With Baliggie? Baby, I don’t reconcile with clowns.”
Whew.
What’s Next for Jela?
Toward the end of the interview, things took a more introspective turn. Mona asked Jela about her goals beyond reality TV. Turns out, Jela has plans—a podcast, a fashion line, and even a possible book.
“People think they know me based on clips and edits. But I have so much more to say. I want to create spaces for real talk—uncut, unfiltered, and unapologetic.”
She also teased a potential new reality show in the works, where she’d be front and center with full creative control. “This time, I’m calling the shots.”
Mona raised her glass. “To new beginnings, and to owning your truth.”
The Final Word
By the end of the sit-down, one thing was clear: Jela isn’t here to be anyone’s scapegoat. She’s here to tell her story, on her terms. Whether you love her or love to hate her, there’s no denying that she’s a force to be reckoned with.
And with Mona Samone steering the conversation with her signature blend of class, sass, and no-nonsense journalism, this interview will undoubtedly go down as one of the most talked-about moments of the year.
So what’s the verdict? Jela said what she said, and Baliggie? Well… she’s got some explaining to do.
