<p id=”par-3_33″>Roe’s outspoken personality had some people labeling her a bully, which she had a problem with. She said she was being held to a higher standard than the other women on the show.</p>
<p id=”par-4_32″>“If I interrupt a person while they’re talking and dismiss their bs…I’m too aggressive,” she wrote. “A person interrupts, speaks over me and calls me bxtches… they’re just expressing how they feel.”</p>
<p id=”par-5_40″>“If I curse anyone out on the cast and raise my voice… I’m doing too much. It’s bullying,” she wrote in another post. “I get cursed out and voices raised at me… they’re just emotional and I should have grace.”</p>
<p id=”par-6_87″>“If I was smaller, skinnier, light skin and small voiced… the word ‘Bully’ wouldn’t be used. I’d just be expressing my feelings,” she added. “The fact that I’m a bigger, taller women. My voice is strong. I wear my feelings on my shoulders. I’m not biting my tongue. My confidence is high. I call ppl out on their shxt. I raise my voice when I’m passionate or my feelings are hurt. I’m unapologetic and not dumbing down to make anyone feel comfortable…. I overreact. I’m a bully.”</p>
<p id=”par-7_20″>Roe went on to say that some viewers were overreacting to her behavior on the show in a major way. </p>
<p id=”par-8_23″>“[People] are making death threats to me, attacking my family & daughter, my businesses & dragging my name over this show,” she shared. </p>
<p id=”par-9_23″>Viewers are entitled to their opinions, Roe continued, adding that she understood she was on a reality show and that meant inevitable criticisms. </p>
<p id=”par-10_41″>“But this show is also produced,” she pointed out. “Narratives are made to evoke your feelings. These are 6 months worth of footage cut to minutes. You don’t know everything & It’s still a TV show. But it’s gone too far.”</p>

<p id=”par-11_13″>Roe said that she’d brought her authentic self to<em> Heart & Hustle: Houston. </em></p>
<p id=”par-12_54″>“Unlike others, I don’t create storylines. I didn’t bring a man, husband or friend on this show. I came one deep. Just me & Sophia. Yall see my life in real time,” she wrote. That includes her struggles with her mental health, relationship with her daughter’s father, and abandonment issues with her biological father. </p>
<p id=”par-13_16″>“Everything I hold dear to my heart I brought to this show with me,” she wrote. </p>
<p id=”par-14_23″>“Count me out next time… I’m good,” she added, hinting that she would not return if the show was renewed for season 3. </p>
