MAG COVERS: TOYA TALKS NEW SHOW IN ROLLING OUT / THE BRAXTON SISTERS POSE FOR KONTROL MAG

Antonia “Toya” Johnson shows off her curves in a brown gown on Rolling Out Magazine’s weekly issue. The reality television personality and entrepreneur spoke a bit about motherhood, the wrong things women do in relationships, how reality TV has affected her life and more:

On what women are doing wrong in relationships:
“I just feel like women just go so hard. They give their all so fast. They give 100 [percent] and don’t get that in return. Relationships [are] supposed to be equal. A lot of women didn’t grow up with the affection from their dad. So, when they find a man, they expect that man to give that to them. … They look for love in all the wrong places. They never had their fathers around to say, ‘I love you, and you’re beautiful.’ So, the first man to tell them, ‘I love you, and you’re beautiful,’ they fall for it. That’s the biggest problem. They throw themselves on a man all the time and say, ‘I got him.’ That [doesn’t] work.”

On the affects of reality TV on her life:
“It’s a gift and a curse, but a blessing. People feel like they really, really know you. So you get the weirdos who come up to you, ‘Oh, you looking for love? I can help you with that,’ and ‘Lil Wayne’s crazy’ and this and that. The plus side is you get to meet people who genuinely give you this love and open up to you … so it helps people.” [Read more]

You can catch Toya: A Family Affair on Tuesday nights at 10pm EST on BET.

MAG COVERS: MICHELLE OBAMA & JILL BIDEN COVER PARADE MAGAZINE

In their first joint magazine cover, First Lady Michelle Obama and Dr. Jill Biden grace the April 24 issue of PARADE magazine to discuss their first joint project, Joining Forces, which supports and honors the families of the nation’s service members.

The First Lady mentioned:

When I started campaigning for my husband, I wanted to meet with groups of women to make sure their stories were a part of the conversation in his campaign and potentially in his administration. Everywhere I went there were military spouses, and their stories took my breath away – the pain of multiple deployments, trying to keep the family afloat. I remember sitting and crying with a group of them. Studies show that many military families feel like the country doesn’t recognize or appreciate (them). And it breaks my heart, because they’re serving as passionately and deeply and proudly as the men and women in uniform.

Dr. Biden added: “We just need to say to America, ‘Wake up. You need to support these families and we need to lift them up and really value them.’
