This is my response below, and this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vjlZ8Thv6KA clearly shows more of what really happened than what is already being distributed.

My response to the unfortunate incident between me & Danger is this:

I did not invite her to my event, never met her or spoke to her prior to the event. I only know her from her persona on the show, and thought she was pretty & passionate about RayJ. Yes, I heard that she claimed she was pregnant by him, had a baby with someone else, and had suffered from some related depression, but never thought that she was pyscho, or had serious mental issues. I wouldn’t expect she would be released if not cured. Also I know there are many other women who suffer from postpardum depression and don’t act like this, so why would I suspect her condition would be volatile.

I honestly thought she was acting, considering, she asked my staff if she could bring her own camera person to my event since she was trying to get her own reality show. I approved her admittance with the condition that she could only videotape herself while on the Red Carpet, not shoot my event. Only my team and approved press were granted those privileges in the best interest of my sponsors, A-list guests, and attendees. This was a serious charity fundraiser not a reality show setup. I was told she respected those terms.

From the time I arrived she was acting very strange, combative, agitating my staff, me, the sponsors & guests. But all off us tried to just laugh it off, be polite, and/or evasive, never suspecting it would get worse. But when I went onstage to welcome my guests and thank everyone for coming, she was already on the stage, on a stool with the microphone, and a glass of wine. She was talking to the audience, asking “are yall ready for the show to start?” They, along with club management, thought this was planned and that she was my friend. I’m pretty good at improv, so I tried to politely thank her for coming and introduced her to the audience in a joking fashion, and told her she could leave. But she just sat there and refused to go.

After it got ridiculously awkward, I yelled for security from onstage, in front of the audience, but noone came to remove her. They all still thought this was an act. Eventually, after I made several obvious requests, she left the stage and I continued my intro, playing it off as best I could. The audience was none the wiser, thank God, but I was still wondering, “did that really just happen”? (Now I know how Taylor Swift must have felt.)

Later, I was in the VIP on the Red Carpet about to be interviewed myself, and she walked up. Even though I have hosted my own talk show, and done many red carpet interviews with major celebrities, I wasn’t there for that and had not planned to interview anyone the whole night. And to date, I’ve never interviewed a person who behaved this way. I was there as the producer and host of my event, only. But she walked up as I was about to be interviewed, so I suggested to the reporter, let me interview her for all the media here, and give her a chance to apologize for what she did, and to address all the rumors about her.

I never thought she was insane or mentally ill at this point, so I was not trying to exploit a mentally ill person. As a matter of fact, she said to me right before walking up closer to me for the interview, “Poprah you need to chill, this could be a good beef, we could make money off of this”. This is why I kept saying to her, “this is not a reality show, this is real life,” I was thinking that this was a perfect time to either expose her, as faking “crazy” for media attention, or let her apologize for her irrational behavior and explain herself.

I never thought she would continue to act “crazy” or that she actually was, until her answers got more and more bizarre. When she walked off I was convinced, she’s on drugs, drunk, really crazy, or just a great actress, and actually I still suspected the latter, fakery all the way.

She immediately went to the other end of the room which was closest to the stage side of the venue, where it is open enough for everyone to hear you if you are shouting, and she was loud, talking inappropriate trash to one of my sponsors at the bar, so that’s why I approached her. “Why are you still talking sh**?”

She continued to talk mess to me, refused to respect that she was now disrupting the event, and that I wanted her to leave. The only security nearby was my own, who did not work for the venue, and after she had already swung on one of them, they did not want to engage her, and left it up to the venue. But their security did nothing. The club manager felt we should avoid a huge scene taking her out of the venue. So we just tried to talk her down to a calm state. Acting or not, she didn’t care that she could ruin this show for Haiti, it was all about keeping the attention on her.

She threatened to kill me, and kept yelling other insanities. No matter what my security said to her, she just sat their screaming, louder, then louder, though noone, me included, was touching her. Shortly after, the manager came and made the cameras leave and tried to talk her down as well, all of us trying to avoid more chaos, because people could hear her yelling from the show floor below.

She seemed calm for a while, but I was told, but didn’t witness, that she still threw water over the balcony on guests and on one of the comedians. The comedians eventually made her the butt of their jokes, I did hear that myself, saying they needed security to escort them to their car because they feared her.

I just want it understood, I, amongst a venue full of people witnessed Danger’s bizarre behavior. I do think she needs therapy, but I honestly think her biggest issue is that she really wants attention at any cost, even if it means pretending to be crazy. And that’s almost as sad as her real psychological problems which cost her custody of her child, if that rumor is true. But who knows what is true with her? I just pray she gets therapy for all her issues. I really feel sorry for her. And if she’s acting, its sad if she thinks creating havoc at a charity event, aimed to help dying people, just to get camera time, is OK. It’s not!

I don’t know what is happening with these arson issues at her place, that were reported, since the incident at my event. But honestly, I think she’s just a very hurt girl, who is crying for help. Yes I was very upset at her behavior at my event especially, thinking it was an act. But if she really is ill, I apologize, and sincerely feel that this is when she needs her real friends and family the most. I hope they step up before it’s too late. Because so many people, authorities, etc, who encounter her, who are not familiar with her history, like I was not, will react to her unpredictability out of self-preservation first, like I did, and that could be very dangerous for everyone involved including Danger.

The whole situation is just another reason that it should be easier for people to get medical treatment, therapy and/or counseling, because it is obviously that her behavior is the result of some deep rooted issues that were never addressed, coming to surface. My prayers are with her and her child.
