ROQUEL WEATHERS: HUNTY! It’s been awhile and I know you all have missed the queen of shade. Listen after that little hiatus that #theLIFE threw at us, I decided to take one of my own.
Roquel snaps her fingers.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: OKKAYYY! Anyway I know a lot has happened and I’ll try to cover everything. So let’s get right to it!
ROQUEL WEATHERS: I know we all were excited for ATL Season 4, but then gagged when filming halted. No one gave us a reason why, but you know my nosey ass went snooping.
Roquel chuckles.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Seems like the cast really couldn’t get along, there were fights that involved violence and lawsuits not only against the parties involved but also against the network. Once lawsuits are involved you already know production and the networks lawyers aren’t playing when it comes to that so I understand why. But good ole MIL to find a way around that, drop ATL and just call it #theLIFE and switch the cast up.
Roquel smirks.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: I ain’t mad at y’all though, because we need our fix of the life so I’m happy it’s coming back, and it’s good to see London, Brandon and even Carlos shady ass is back on the show.
Roquel pauses for a second.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: I hope London doesn’t quit this time, let’s make it through the whole season please. And I hope to see some growth from them guys too, let’s cut the fighting and actually focus on building friendships, life is too short to keep being messy. I mean yes being messy makes good TV but I know off camera some of these guys are really friends so let’s work on fixing the broken relationships. But speaking of relationships I have a special guest in the building tonight with me, it seems like his name has been in a lot of peoples mouths lately and I just wanted to take this time to get his side and to see what he’s been up to.
Roquel motions for the producers to let her guest in.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: He’s one of my favorites from ATL and he’s also one of the flyest wrestlers I’ve ever seen live and yes I have seen him live, everyone welcome Jaser.
Jaser walks on to the stage smiling and waving to the members of the audience. He comes over to Roquel greeting her with a warm familiar hug before taking his seat.
AUDIENCE MEMBER: I love you Jaser!
JASER CRUZ: I love you too baby, hey!
Jaser laughs and blows a kiss to the fan in the audience.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Baby, what has been up? Minus the drama, what’s been going on?
JASER CRUZ: With me not much to be honest. Just been modeling, rehabbing a injury, working in the studio with Riley on music.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: I know you’ve been absent from social media lately, Chile I just wanna make sure you were okay and not hanging from a tree somewhere.
Jaser laughs
JASER CRUZ: Oh no nothing like that. It’s nice to get a break from social media from time to time. It feels like some people just live on it and live to brag or show off for others who do the same. Never got into that life.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: How’s wrestling going? Are you still wrestling?
JASER CRUZ: I’m still in like I said I got injured last year and just been taking it slow trying to get back while also weighing out my options.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: So before we get into what’s happening now? Let’s go back in time, Season 3 of ATL was your last season, you met the guy of your dreams and you decided to wrestle, what made you want to leave reality tv and get back in the ring?
JASER CRUZ: wrestling was something that’s just in my dna. My sisters all were wrestlers, our father was one too. In a way it’s a way to stay connected with our heritage and family traditions. Plus it’s great cardio. I never liked all the reality shit anyways. Fake friends the storylines they’d want you to follow. It just took its toll and I needed a restart.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: So why not do both? I mean being on the show would have helped people notice you more, I know you have fans but you could have gained more.
JASER CRUZ: That is true but at the same time they are two different beasts. A lot of my LGBT following has come from the show cause in the wrestling side I don’t play up that I’m LGBT. And on the show you’d only know it because of who I dated or shit like that.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Everyone says they have bad and good experiences from filming and being on the life, what are yours?
JASER CRUZ: I’ve definitely had good ones like through the show we were able to help out Puerto Rico when the storms hit real bad. And I mean badones where everyone swears they know everything about you cause they see you on tv a hour out of a day once a week.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Chase was scheduled to appear on ATL 4 and during that time you two were together, were you going to make appearances and just step down from main cast since he still was involved with the show?
JASER CRUZ: I did step down to focus on Life outside of The Life. I did film with him and some without him.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Were you worried about him filming and being on the show without you? I mean we all know these boys can act like catty ladies.
Roquel laughs.
JASER CRUZ:I was protective of him but at the same time he’s a grown ass man so I was sure he would be fine. But I did know that him being attached to me would bring heat his way from the other newbies and old heads that had issues with me. I feel like because of who he was with he got tried a lot by the thirsty few.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: So let's get to the real tea and fast forward to now, new season of the life premiering on the 14th, you're not on the show and Chase is.
JASER CRUZ: Correct.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: A few weeks ago you tweeted you guys hand a mutual breakup but Chase is everywhere saying he was blindsided, so there’s always two sides to a story, and this is your chance to speak yours.
JASER CRUZ: I honestly don’t know why he decided to say that or go on air and act like we didn’t end before it was announced. We would break up and make up all the time, and at the time I announced it we hadn’t been together since before Christmas. I tried working things out. I got couples counseling he never would show up for. I’d reach out and he’d just ignore me but then turned around acting like I did him dirty. It’s ridiculous.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: What is the reason for the breakup? You guys seem to be very much in love and out of nowhere, BOOM! It’s over!
JASER CRUZ: We were but people go through things. It got tough after I got injured and I couldn’t do what I used to love. And it was hard for him too at the time. We tried we really did.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Were there any cheating?
JASER CRUZ: As far as I know no. We were always around each other so no I don’t think so.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Can you see you guys getting back together in the future?
JASER CRUZ: I mean I don’t know. There’s been so much hurt in both sides we’d have to sit and talk it out. I mean Chase was the love of my life and the first heartbreak I’ve ever had. I would live to work things out but I think right now we just need space from each other. I won’t bad mouth him or try and pull up on him and whoever.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: The only reason why I asked is because a lot of news outlet and social media websites have been putting both Micah Gray and Chase together, now I don’t know if they’re hooking up or not but the way those two interact you would think they were dating or something.
JASER CRUZ: I mean if they are good for them. They were friends and me and Micah were cool while filming.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Well he’s denying all claims of cheating, but I don’t know hunty.
JASER CRUZ: Well good for them if they are. Like I don’t really care.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: People are saying that the breakup is just for the show, if you think about it you announce the breakup and boom the new season pops up; but #theLIFE official twitter account dropped promos and teasers but you aren’t included, so spill the tea boo, what's going on?
JASER CRUZ: I guess that means I’m not in it huh?
Roquel chuckles
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Are you on the new season or not and is this just for the show?
JASER CRUZ: I’m not on the new show though I have been asked to come back. If the money's right I’d consider it but as of now I’m not and wish everyone filming nothing but good. And no it’s not for the show. I didn’t even know they had started filming so there’s that.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Mmmhmm… so your saying that you and the producers have been in talks but nothing is confirmed huh? I think you're lying to Mr. Cruz!
Roquel playfully rolls her eyes.
JASER CRUZ: I didn’t say all that now you're gonna get the girls talking on twitter.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: I know we don’t have a lot of time. I'm sure you're a busy man, so I have to ask before you go, how is everyone else doing? Your family and even Riley, I haven’t seen or heard from him lately, I hope he’s doing good.
JASER CRUZ: Riley’s good. He had some family issues to deal with and it takes a toll on ya but we still talk everyday and hang out whenever we can but I can say he’s in a better place right now.
ROQUEL: And what about some of your other cast members? Who do you keep in contact with?
JASER CRUZ: I still keep in contact with the other ATL og’s. Minus that bird ass nigga. And I still talk to Brandon from time to time he’s like a older brother at this point with his knowledge and experience he drops in my inbox from time to time. Carlos is also another one that checks on me here and there. Trin too I see her out and about in Atlanta a lot and me and miss Booked and busy herself Chanel are cool. I go to her club a lot and it’s always love.
ROQUEL: Have you and Isaiah become friends yet?
JASER CRUZ: I hate to sound stupid but I don’t know who that man is. I could pass him in the street and keep on keeping on. I still don’t know her sis, sorry to that man.
Roquel giggles sarcastically.
JASER CRUZ: I mean
Jaser looks into the camera shrugging.
ROQUEL: I’m just messing, any last words before you leave?
JASER CRUZ: Que sera, sera.
Jaser blows a kiss into the camera
ROQUEL WEATHERS: I’m happy you stopped by to catch us up and to spill some tea boo, so we may or may not see you on the life but if we do I know it’ll be GOOD TO WATCH!
JASER CRUZ: Thanks for having me mama.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: And everyone at home listening and watching on this live, this won’t be the last you hear or see me, I will be back hosting this seasons reunion and hey you never know I may pop up on your feed again.
Roquel blows a kiss and she continues a conversation with Jaser off mic and air, the scene fades.
Roquel snaps her fingers.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: OKKAYYY! Anyway I know a lot has happened and I’ll try to cover everything. So let’s get right to it!
ROQUEL WEATHERS: I know we all were excited for ATL Season 4, but then gagged when filming halted. No one gave us a reason why, but you know my nosey ass went snooping.
