AceShowbiz - Crystal Smith isn't going to remove her wedding band anytime soon despite calling it quits with her husband Ne-Yo. The model, who appeared in the singer's 2014 music video for "Money Can't Buy", has defended still using the jewelry after announcing her split from her cheating husband.
Crystal recently posted a video showing her jamming to GloRilla and Hitkidd's track "F.N.F. (Let's Go)" in a car. Looking glamorous in full makeup with red lipstick, she flashed her huge diamond ring as she fixed her hair in the clip.
Noticing her accessory, one Internet user accused her of "clout chasing" in the comment. "She still wearing the wedding bands lol. Clout chasing is one hell of a drug," the said person wrote. Catching wind of the comment, Crystal quickly clapped back at the troll as she replied, "And if I do decide to wear those 7carats .. I earned that."
Crystal exposed Ne-Yo for his alleged cheating habits on Saturday, July 30. "8 years. 8 years of lies and deception. 8 years of unknowingly sharing my life and my husband with numerous women who sell their bodies to him unprotected…every last one of them! To say I'm heartbroken and disgusted is a [sic] understatement," she wrote in a lengthy Instagram post.
"To ask me to stay and accept it is absolutely insane. The mentality of a narcissist. I will no longer lie to the public or pretend that this is something it isn't," she continued. "I choose me, I choose my happiness and health and my respect I gained 3 beautiful children out of this but nothing else but wasted years and heartache."
Responding to the allegations, Ne-Yo said via Twitter that "my family and I will work through our challenges behind closed doors" for "the sake of our children." The "So Sick" crooner added, "Personal matters are not meant to be addressed and dissected in public forums. I simply ask that you please respect me and my family's privacy at this time."
He later let out a cryptic post on his Instagram Story. He shared a repost of an Instagram Reel from @battlegroundjkdllc in which a man's voice could be heard saying, "Even if u hear a bad story about me, first…understand." The voice continued, "There was a time I was good to those people, but they won't tell u that!!"
