Then, during a Mexico girls\u2019 trip on the show, a mediation session by Evelyn Lozada ended with the ladies taking personal jabs at one another. On the reunion, Brooke called out Cheyenne\u2019s licensure and accused her of being unethical for claiming to have treated a patient, allegedly without the qualifications to accomplish that.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Cheyenne Bryant Is Under Fire Over Her Credentials<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>As previously reported, Cheyenne Bryant sparked a wave of backlash this week after twice defending her credentials as a \u201cdoctor.\u201d Her press runs focused on her newly released book, but social media users have been more interested in her qualifications.

Later within the interview, she claimed she\u2019s experiencing \u201cpretty punishment\u201d and clarified that she didn\u2019t intend to grow to be famous.<\/p>\n<p>Two days later, while appearing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fox5dc.com\/video\/fmc-o5x93tv0ch4cobgn?\">on Fox5 DC<\/a>, she doubled down on her \u201cdoctor\u201d title, defending her credentials. She told journalist Marissa Mitchell that her obedience is to God, to not individuals, meaning she won\u2019t be proving herself to the general public. She outright refused to supply proof of her \u201cDr.\u201d qualifications and said she&#8217;s going to proceed to make use of the title.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201c\u2026I\u2019ve earned the title, I actually have multiple degrees and I\u2019m not going to prove anything to anybody and we\u2019re going to go away it just as that,\u201d Cheyenne Bryant said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DYXkrlSCZXo\/?utm_source=ig_embed&#038;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF; max-width:658px; min-width:326px; padding:0; width:99.375%; width:-webkit-calc(100% - 2px); width:calc(100% - 2px);\">\n<p>\n                      <iframe class=\"custom-ig-embed\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DYXkrlSCZXo\/embed\/captioned\" allowtransparency=\"true\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"640px\" scrolling=\"no\" style=\"background:#FFF; border:0; border-radius:3px; box-shadow:0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width:540px; min-width:326px; padding:0; width:99.375%; width:-webkit-calc(100% - 2px); width:calc(100% - 2px);\"><\/iframe>\n                  <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Brooke Bailey Says Mental Health Community Deserves \u201cHonesty\u201d<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>It\u2019s unclear which exact platform Brooke Bailey shared a press release on.

Brooke is speaking out after the \u2018Basketball Wives\u2019 clip of her and Bryant surfaced amid the credentials conversation. In her statement, Brooke said that she was \u201ccalled a hater\u201d when she tried to clock Bryant prior to now. She argued that \u201ccredibility is just not optional\u201d in matters related to mental health.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, she said Cheyenne Bryant claimed at her \u2018Basketball Wives\u2019 event that she had helped a patient through \u201csevere mental health episodes,\u201d which requires \u201clicensed, ethical professionals, not misrepresentation,\u201d Brooke said. Apparently, Bryant said the young man was \u201cher client as a therapist.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cAccountability isn\u2019t hate it\u2019s vital. Since then, more has come to light, including that the varsity she attended has closed and lost accreditation (which I exposed on the reunion). No dissertation. No thesis. No license. The mental health community deserves honesty. Not performance or gaslighting. Persons are too vulnerable to be misled. Degrees don\u2019t equal qualifications. Integrity and real experience do and when those are missing, people get hurt.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Brooke Bailey added,<strong> \u201cAll the pieces done at the hours of darkness involves light.\u201d<\/strong> Also, she seemingly ended her statement with a direct message to \u201cDr. Bryant,\u201d though she didn\u2019t name her throughout.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cYou tried to silence the reality.
