Kierra Sheard Responds to Criticism For Saying She Keeps Female Friends Away From Her Husband

‘You Don’t Know’ singer Kierra Kiki Sheard believes you don’t know the full context of the quote that’s landed her in headlines over the last few days – a situation she’s hoping to remedy by taking to Instagram to issue a statement.

The Gospel star, hot on the promo trail in support of her forthcoming Lifetime film ‘Line Sisters’ (premiering February 12), took to press to indicate she isn’t shy about placing boundaries in her home related to her husband, Jordan Kelly.

“My momma has already told me don’t have too many people around your house … I don’t care how good you trust them or whatever it is, I’m very mindful and careful. I would buy a friend a hotel room before I let them stay at my house,” she said before adding, “Am I supposed to let them into my home? Because we as believers, we believe that what we have we are supposed to share with others, but I’m not sharing my man. Since I’m not sharing my man, I have to be cautious with everything else that I share as far as with him being there too.”

As outlets flooded the net with reports and op-eds on the quote, social media users also weighed in – with many of them siding opposite the award-winning songstress.

Tired of the hoopla, Kierra took to Instagram Saturday (February 5) to hit back at detractors who felt her original statement was a display of insecurity.

In addition to uploading footage from the interview where the polarizing quote was first captured, Kiki captioned her weekend IG post by saying:

“Besides the whole conversation that we had prior, that wasn’t considered for full context…Nowadays healthy boundaries seem like insecurity and distrust to some. However, for those who’d like the truth, here’s the full video for so many who are reaching and making juicy headlines for clout. I’m blessed to have a husband and friends who I trust. My family and friends are most welcome in my home and THEY know who they are. I will remain prayerful and strategic in everything that I do, and so should you. Be encouraged to discern well because common sense ain’t so “common” these days. So, protect your homes, husbands, children, careers and more. You’ll avoid a lot of mistakes and trauma. Since we are in a cancel culture some haven’t mastered diplomacy, it’s considered phony or fake. So, some are considered “associates” than they are “friends” but until we grow in relational intelligence, we won’t understand fundamentals like this. #LearnWithMe Good morning! #SafePlaces #SafePeople #wisdom #BookComingSoon #TheVibesYouFeel #KierraSheard“
