And Brown and Tran documented their relationship via their respective social media accounts, lending to scrutiny, judgment and speculation on their relationship. Brown even alleged at one point that Tran had willingly participated in threesomes with him and then deleted and apologized for the post.
Vanzant says that what she thinks is that both Tran and Brown are young and naive.
“His behavior is probably a lot worse than hers but she’s very naive. But she represents hundreds and thousands of young women who are making critical relationship mistakes with hundreds and thousands of young men. She represents Boniqua in Cleveland who’s fighting with Freddy. She represents some of the critical mistakes young women make in relationships with men whether they are with a public person or not and that was my interest in the interview. And I was very up front about that and I told her that.”
What folks may not know about Tran is that she was born to a Vietnamese mother and an African-American father, but was raised by neither, says Vanzant. She was raised by a Jamaican woman in a Black neighborhood and went to a public school.
“Can you imagine being Vietnamese and Black raised in a Jamaican neighborhood trying to find your way in a public school? That’s enough to make you want to have a drink with your cornflakes,” Vanzant says. “And she’s young. She’s 26 years old and she started this relationship she was 21. Remember falling in love when you were 21?
You fall flat on your face and you think your life will be over if you don’t have this person. I hope that people can see the mistakes she’s made. The media and social media made this relationship and her attachment to social media but I hope people can say she’s just a naive young woman.”
