Who do you blame when there is no one to blame but yourself? DJ Envy should be asking himself that very question after his spicy interview with the self-proclaimed #BodegaBoys Desus and Mero on their Breakfast Club Power 105.1 interview that aired on March 15th via Youtube. In the interview, DJ Envy wants to set the record straight in honor of his wife, his marriage, and his family after Desus jokingly comments that Gia, DJ Envy's wife, was only present in the marriage for Envy's checks. Envy was clearly bothered by the joke arguing "You owe my wife an apology for insinuating that she was here for the check. You can talk about me all day. You can make jokes about me, but when it comes to my wife and my family there's no 'but'." Adding that the joke was disrespectful to him and Gia. After expressing his frustration and insisting on an apology, the two guests were forced to apologize--for what seemed like the sake of the success of the interview. Even after the apology, DJ Envy stormed out the interview in a huff that followed with laughter from his co-hosts and two guests. 
In no way am I excusing DJ Envy's right to protect and defend his wife's esteem. In fact, I would want my husband to speak up in defense if such a situation occurred. However, I believe that Envy's bitterness towards Desus and Mero's joke was misplaced hurt. In Don't Hate the Wait Volume 1-What To Do in the Me Time, Sharice Cuthrell weighs in on the how unsettled mistakes will lead to unhealed spirits. She writes "Most of the time, you make mistakes because you are either too hurt to see what you are doing or too hurt to care. The danger in this is you transition into the next relationship without allowing time for healing to occur...If you do not allow yourself to be healed what is sure to happen is you will misplace your aggression and hurt someone the way you have been hurt." DJ Envy's embarrassment of his betrayal towards his wife was unfairly projected onto innocent late night talk show comedians Desus and Mero. The Bodega Boys held their ground and maturely diffused the situation, but the overall interaction revealed Envy's poor attitude and sense of humor.
Raashaun, it's time to forgive yourself!
