Jilted Bride Speaks Out

After weeks of tabloids, blogs, speculations and rumors about Kesha Nichols being left at the altar she finally speaks out today on Good Morning America with Diane Sawyer. Surprisingly, she looked confident and comfortable talking about her fiance dumping her by email just a few days before the big day.

Do I buy it? Not really. But her side of the story was very interesting. She admits that their 5 year relationship was tumultuous. Filled with constant break ups and discourse. She admits the weekend before the wedding, they broke up again, got back together and had a talk about their reservations about getting married. She also denies being dumped by email but refers to it as "confirming what we already talked about". To me that still sounds like he cancelled the wedding via email.

Kesha appeared bubbly and in good spirit but I couldn't tell how much of it was a front. She talked about the career she gave up giving her all into her relationship with a NBA star, the numerous opportunities she turned down and the amount of money she invested in the relationship. She experienced humiliation in front of the world but claims to not be mad at Richard and that "there are no hard feelings". That he "verbalized what they both knew."
But she did have a positive message to us ladies, "That's my philosophy, just keep dancing for life...Just keep picking up the pieces and keep going."

What do you think about giving up your career? Do you think its a good idea for women who marry a rich man, to give up their dreams?

Former New Jersey Net Star, Richard Jefferson Leaves Bride At The Altar...now THAT'S a flagrant foul!

Talk about unsportsmanlike conduct!

Richard Jefferson, who was recently traded to the San Antonio Spurs, dropped his soon to be beautiful bride and former Net Dancer, Kesha Ni'Cole Nichols, via EMAIL only hours before the big day. Apparently, Kesha had a clue because her family and friends were notified and were not at the swank Mandarin Oriental. The same can't be said for Richard's people because they showed up to the wedding very shocked to find out that their boy was a no-show.

We can only assume what happened and assume why Richard would leave his stunning wife-to-be, but ladies let this be a lesson: IF A MAN AINT READY TO MARRY HE AINT READY TO MARRY! Stop trying to strong-arm them into making you a wife. Stop giving them ultimatums to marry you. Stop rushing them down the damn aisle or find yourself getting Rich Jefferson'd!

I've been hearing people give hm props for not going through it because there are so many men who were to scared to back out, but he didn't. Give me a break! Richard is a coward. He knew before the day of his wedding that he didn't want to marry her. As a matter of fact, he probably knew when he proposed to her. He doesn't deserve any praise because he was 'strong enough to back out.' It takes a real man to follow his instinct from the beginning and not ask if he wasn't ready.

Question: What would you do if you were left at the altar? Could you forgive your fiancee? How would you move on?
