Nick Cannon is feeling the sting of having multiple women in his life! The multi-hyphenate star's ex-lover, Jessica White, just spilled the tea about the duo's turbulent relationship.
The rapper-turned-actor has become a frequent headline maker for his baby-making pursuits, fathering twelve children with six different women. Although he appears to have an amicable relationship with his partners, one of his past affairs did not end smoothly.
The "Love Don't Cost a Thing" star's romance with the Victoria's Secret runway model recently raised eyebrows after the media personality shared shocking truths about their love life.
Jessica White Calls Out Nick Cannon In An Emotional Letter About Their Breakup
On June 12, the stunning model took to her Instagram page to share a since-deleted open letter about her relationship with the "Gigolo" rapper.
Pouring her heart out, the 38-year-old explained she was dropping the bombshells ahead of her appearance in the new season of "Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta." The reality TV star insisted her public announcement was a means of communicating with Cannon after being unable to reach him directly.
"Tried to reach out to you, but here's my book @nickcannon. I know you're upset about the show, but after eight years, I can't stand when things catch you off guard," White began her message.
"And I feel like you deserve way more respect as a man even though I may be more respectful than you ever gave me With public announcements.. Lol, I have loved, and I gave eight ride-or-die years to you With my head high and heart praying you'd see me the way I deserved," the runway alum confessed.
According to the New Yorker, she wanted her relationship with the "Drumline" star to succeed and allegedly "prayed every day" for the 42-year-old to develop the sincere affections she had for him.
"Maybe you did but just kept it from me during the relationship. I walked away with more questions than anything; I don't know till this day really why current things had to happen," the Maybelline spokesperson lamented. Despite her regrets with Cannon, the model explained that she was hurting before meeting the comedian.
Although White insisted that she had overcome her "insane insecurities" and was emotionally healthy, the 38-year-old called out the "Wild 'n Out" host for contributing to her issues. The "Famously Single" star accused the father of twelve of dishing out special treatment to his other lovers.
"I felt like you always put the other women on a pedestal, and I was beyond unstable about that," the entertainer's message read. "I have to say these things because I'm going to move on from the public shame that has been over my life since I was at the top of my game in fashion."
Rounding up her letter, the runway star noted that she understood how much "healing" she needed and thanked God for taking her pain. The New Yorker believed "big big love" would come her way and stated she was ready to fill her "memories with joy."
"The truth is NC, and I were both beautifully broken when we were children and didn't know how to love each other. Instead, we hurt each other," the CoverGirl alum concluded her emotional message.
Nick Cannon Said He Was Accountable For His Failed Relationship With White
Before White's open letter, her ex-boyfriend addressed the revelation of her miscarriage during the former couple's relationship. The San Diego native got candid about his former lover's comments during an appearance on Jason Lee's podcast in May.
The multi-hyphenate star praised the media personality, calling her sweet names like "beautiful" and his "muse." The 42-year-old confessed he still had feelings for the model, saying, "That woman has overcome so much and is just a light and an angel to so many, who operates on a higher frequency."
When the host asked about White's miscarriage, which came at the heels of Brittany Bell's second pregnancy for Cannon in 2020, the TV personality noted that he supported White's decision to discuss the sensitive topic.
"I take full accountability. I want her to share her true and honest story at any time. These women will tell their story when their time when they're ready to do it. I want that. I don't want to ever speak for any of them because I know they can speak for themselves," the father of twelve explained.
White, during her interview with Lee in 2021, cited Bell's pregnancy announcement as the straw that broke the camel's back of her romance with the "Masked Singer Host."
She explained, "She [Bell] was aware that I had just had a miscarriage, two weeks prior to her news coming out, because he told me that he told her. And I was living at his house, she knew that as well. But I found out on Instagram along with the rest of the world."
White added, "I was going through still my hormonal changes, and we were about to start in vitro. So when I came out, people thought I was this homewrecker. No, there was a real-life going on. I was bullied for months with that whole situation. I still tried to be nice about it. We didn't break up right away, we tried to work things out."
