Moniece Slaughter Uses Rich Dollaz In Fight With Marla: Boyfriend A Guinea Pig?

Love and Hip Hop: Hollywood's Moniece Slaughter says that she is trying to repair her ruined relationship with her mother, Marla and admits using Rich Dollaz as a guinea pig before bringing her back in.

In an interview with VH1, Moniece says she is closer with her stepfather than she is with her mother and biological father and says that she's slowly trying to let her mother back in her and her son's life, "My mom and I have a very tumultuous relationship. Growing up, I definitely did not have a friendship with my mom or really a relationship with my biological father either. I was really more into the relationship with my stepdad."

She said the strain between her and her mother was caused she neglected her as a child and only felt considered by her stepfather, "I felt when growing up, when disciplining or guiding was the only person that really considered me. There were just so many untruths told to me and I still don't even know myself, but I blamed my mother and we are trying to work through that and I am trying to take responsibility for my part and why the relationship is the way it is."

Although, she isn't on good terms with her mother, she admits that she used her boyfriend, Richie as a pawn to see if she would consider opening all the way up to her, "I kind of feel bad, because I used Rich like - almost like a guinea pig- you know to like test the waters to see if I could fully trust the situation or not and it backfired," she said after Rich and Marla got into a heated argument over his child support dramas an age difference.

"I felt like this is going to be my first step in letting her back into certain aspects of my life that that I have so adamantly shut her out of in the past."
