K. Michelle Shares Her Story With Idris Elba, Her Abuse, Education & More Tonight On “UNCENSORED”

It’s no secret that Kimberly “K. Michelle” Pate has had some troubling moments in her past, but through it all, she survived and turned her pain into art.

Pate has been a force in the music industry since her debut album, “Rebellous Soul” in 2013. From charting in the top 5 R&B albums every-time she releases, to her personality on reality tv, to being vocal about her health involving plastic surgery; Pate has established herself and her fanbase through authenticity.

“K. Michelle has stolen the hearts of millions from the stage to the big screen, but her climb to success was filled with struggle and pain. She was involved in a series of unhealthy relationships from a young age and eventually found herself pregnant and alone in college. With her self-worth in shambles, she turned to her family who always stood by her side through trials and tribulations. They encouraged her to move to Atlanta and pursue a singing career. Once in Atlanta, K. Michelle’s seemingly bright future was quickly overshadowed by a series of bad relationships and poor decisions, which threatened to keep her from her one true love – music. Ultimately, she landed on the hit reality show “Love & Hip Hop Atlanta” and used the platform to showcase her musical talents. Through her journey, K. Michelle has made friends, enemies, and even costly mistakes that would later lead to severe medical complications. With all the challenges, however, she’s remained steadfast and exemplifies the notion that if you’re willing to work hard for what you believe in, it will pay off in the end.” – Via. Press Release.

In her episode of “UNCENSORED” tonight, Pate opens up about her relationship with Idris Elba, Memphitz, and her experience at FAMU. Pate’s life has multiple ups and downs, but throught it all, she somehows remain smiling.

Pate even goes into detail on camera about abusive moments she suffered with Memphitz, how he kicked her out of a house naked, to being dragged by him.

Pate truly opens up in this episode, revealing the most she has ever about her past, very public relationships, and their breakups. In regards to Elba, Pate reveals that she’s still hurt to this day, not from the situation, but because she lost a friend.

“I had your back, and you didn’t have mine in the mist of everyone tweeting me and attacking me. You let them do it.”

Pate’s episode of TV One’s hit auto-biographical series “UNCENSORED” will air tonight, Sunday, October 14 at 10/9C.
