Cheyenne Bryant Explains Transcripts Mystery, Blames “Pretty Punishment” For Backlash
Bryant’s Instagram bio currently reads: “psychology expert, life coach and creator,” while her handle includes “doctor.” She’s pushing her newly-released book and continuing to advertise content about having breakthroughs, navigating marriage, and even intimacy.
Meanwhile, her comment sections are still demanding answers about whether having “doctor” before her name is legitimate. That conversation went mega-viral after her May 12 appearance on ‘The Breakfast Club.’ She explained that she was only clearing up the credentials conversation for her “DocSquad” and never individuals who don’t like her. “I don’t give a f**k,” were her words for her critics. She later explained that she was enrolled in Argosy University’s doctoral program. The university permanently closed in March 2019, and Bryant claimed she struggled to acquire her school records after it did. She said she contacted financial aid, which offered her a refund in exchange for no credit for any programs or courses she accomplished on the university. She declined.
“You’ll be able to’t make up financial aid. It shows that I paid for a doctoral program, alongside my masters program and my undergrad program,” Cheyenne Bryant said.
Ultimately, she explained that she has some transcripts, as much as her dissertation, after downloading them from the scholar portal on the time of attendance. “But all the pieces else, there’s no…holding take for any of our records, which I feel is totally effed up.” She explained that the varsity’s third-party only held the record for 2 years after the university closed. When DJ Envy identified the argument that individuals allow her credentials to slip due to how she looks, she explained her “pretty punishment” concept.
“…I’ve learned that there’s pretty punishment. And I didn’t really understand that term until I got into my field…I been in my field for 18 years, I didn’t get into my field to develop into famous…a star,” Bryant said.
Also, she said the people made her famous. Her true intention was to share what she learned from the journey God put her on. “Nobody goes to school and gets multiple degrees to say I need to be famous. Now do I like it? Yeah I like it, I’m grateful for it, I appreciate it.”
Cheyenne Bryant Doubles Down On Doctor Credentials
Two days after ‘The Breakfast Club’ interview dropped, Cheyenne Bryant appeared on ‘The Marissa Mitchell Show’ on Fox 5 DC. She was there to advertise ‘Live Your Promise,’ they usually talked about it in depth. Then, toward the tip, she again addressed questions on her credentials. First, she said she was doing “really good” amid the backlash, expressing thankfulness for the “free marketing.” She referenced God in her additional answer, principally saying that her expansion and growth is inevitably going to return with “a heavier cross.”
“My obedience is to God, to not people…so long as I’m in his will and I’m serving and I’m doing his word, my sheep will know my voice. Even the sheep in wolf’s clothing…,” she said.
When Mitchell pushed back about her refusal to offer proof, Cheyenne Bryant said her proof “isn’t something [she] has to prove to individuals.” Adding:
“My proof is already in my credentials, my degrees and likewise greater than just my titles, it’s in how effective I’ve been. All of my sessions have been live for probably the most part. My sessions with Nick Cannon, Cam Newton, Shannon Sharpe, B. Simone. They’ve all been for the world to see.”
Bryant added that she’s “effective” at what she does, and that she created her own lane, which may often encourage admiration to convert to envy. When Mitchell asked why she won’t drop “Dr.” from her name if she won’t provide proof of her degree, this was Bryant’s response:
“…I’ve earned the title, I even have multiple degrees and I’m not going to prove anything to anybody and we’re going to depart it just as that,” Cheyenne Bryant. “Standing by it because I earned it, absolutely.”

Cheyenne Bryant is a FRAUD. I’ll NEVER call her Doctor till I see the paperwork! Show me the dissertation. I NEED the license.
As an attorney at law I could NEVER understand walking around proudly saying you don’t have your paperwork. BLASPHEMY!

Cheyenne Bryant enrolled in a doctoral program and decided that equated to BEING a Doctor of Philosophy.
Nobody questioned her about it because she’s attractive, well spoken, and technically attempting to help.
But a lie is a lie and she or he could’ve just called herself a life coach.
