*On Wednesday, Feb. 6, The Real is live via satellite from Howard University! In honor of Black History Month, The Real is on The Road to the nation’s most thriving HBCUs, learning why they are so important to our history and our future.
The hosts ask the students to weigh in on “multi-dating,” and if it’s cool to do, which co-hosts Jeannie Mai and Loni Love agree it is, as long as everyone is on the same page. They also discuss Jennifer Lopez’s rumored participation in a Motown tribute at the upcoming Grammy Awards, and Cory Booker running for President as a single man.
The ladies speak with the president of Howard University, Dr. Wayne A. I. Frederick, and play Ante Up with three lucky students, Kayla Waysome, Lauren Myers and Nazeer Jeffries. And student Brandon Allen plays a Hotline Bling emoji paddle game with all four hosts!
Later, Let’s Make a Deal host Wayne Brady stops by to talk about his new music, his role on The Bold and the Beautiful and his new friend Al Pacino!
Multi-Dating Is Cool As Long As Everyone’s On The Same Page
The Real Is Live At Howard University!
Wayne Brady Doesn’t Want to Show His New Friend Al Pacino His “Al Pacino Impression!”
Multi-Dating Is Cool As Long As Everyone’s On The Same Page
Loni Love: I applaud someone like Lori, because you should multi-date, and that’s what we call it, “multi-dating…”
Tamera Mowry-Housley: She’s gorgeous.
Loni: Because you get to know somebody.
Jeannie Mai: She really is.
Loni: The reason why, when we first started this show, I was multi-dating and people thought, “Oh no, you’re not – you just don’t want to bring a guy on the show” – because remember, everybody at that time was married, I was the only one that was saying no, and that’s the reason I never brought a guy on the show because I was dating more than one guy. And in that time, when you date more than one guy, especially when you young, you know, you understand compatibility, you find out what you like, what you don’t like in a man. So what she’s doing is actually the way dating is supposed to be.
[The Real audience applauds]
Jeannie: Exactly. Yes.
Loni: ‘Cause that’s the way it is. In these times.
Jeannie: And of course, in a mature way, there is communication involved. I’ve always been very open about that, like I don’t want anybody to think that, you know, they’re the only one if they’re not, like I’m very open about it, because if some people, if that’s not for them, then they –
Tamera: Yeah.
Loni: Like when we talked about you and Jeezy, we like, “Now y’all not exclusive, y’all just dating.”
[The Real audience applauds]
Adrienne Houghton: But I think that’s great that it’s –
Loni: No, it’s –
Adrienne: – that it’s explained, that it’s something that is obviously spoken about between these people and again I think it’s so important to establish that what you see on social media – somebody taking a picture with somebody does mean they are sleeping together.
[The Real audience applauds]
Jeannie: Yes!
Loni: No, but what it is, is that men are fearful. Let me tell y’all, men been doing this for years. They want to try and slutshame us and say that because you date more than – or they see you out with a guy, that something is wrong with you. Nothing is wrong with you, ok?
Adrienne: You’re getting to know people.
Loni: Just don’t let that man control you. That’s it.
Adrienne: That’s right.
