Touré Reveals What Really Happened With Cheyenne Bryant

Touré has officially responded to the viral video capturing a heated, cringeworthy argument between him and his permanent guest, Cheyenne Bryant, a life coach whose claims to be a doctor of psychology have recently come under intense scrutiny. The on-air argument happened during the 2025 “Truth Talks” series but resurfaced recently. Things spiraled when Touré’s attempts to wrap the show turned into a spicy verbal altercation that included Bryant saying, “Lower your f*cking voice when you’re talking to me,” as two other guests, Frank Ski and Avera Martin, watched awkwardly. On Wednesday (May 28), Touré released a 26-minute video explaining exactly what happened.

Sit back and get comfy, because we’re about to break it all down.

A Working Relationship Built on Doubt

Touré was brought in during Season 2 to add structure to “Truth Talks.” Bryant had been there since Season 1 and had gone viral, but according to Touré, “she was very difficult to work with,” prone to interruptions, long soliloquies, and meandering off-topic. He was disappointed that “she lacked enough self-control to actually be professional.”

But his doubts started way before the viral moment.

“From the first conversation we had, I did not believe she was a doctor, and I always bristled at being asked to call her that,” he said. “I could tell she was nobody’s intellectual,” he added, but he wanted to make her feel safe by positioning her as the star, and felt he was constantly placating her ego. He described the dynamic as giving “Soul Plane TV.” Acknowledging her charisma, he called her “a person with a ton of TV talent,” while noting she didn’t understand TV structure.

The Trigger

The viral clip came from the final episode of the 2025 season. If we’re honest, we knew it would nosedive when Bryant said, “first of all…” Touré gave her the opportunity to deliver closing remarks on holding parents criminally responsible for their children’s behavior. She struggled to land her point — a claim Touré supported with footage (1:34 mark).

What Bryant did manage to communicate was the need for stricter discipline. “If we raise kids with no boundaries and no structure and no discipline, they go out into the world…,” she argued, “and they end up being in battles, and they end up actually having a lot of issues with law enforcement.” Touré characterized it as advocacy for violent parenting and countered with data stating that more people who were hit as children are in the prison system than not.

He also argued that her stance was fundamentally inconsistent. “It always made me suspicious of her credentials to hear her advocate for violent parenting. What person who is educated in the field of child development would do that?” He said his gentle-parenting response was meant as a respectful disagreement and a way to wrap the segment: “If gentle parenting creates gentle children, sign me up. I definitely want to create more gentle adults — especially men.”

But he said Bryant continued despite warnings from the producer in her earpiece. They had already discussed talking over one another “100 times,” he said. When she kept going, he lost his cool.

‘She’s Trying To Call Me Gay’

When Bryant shifted to a personal attack on Touré’s manhood, he said she essentially called the married father of two gay. Her exact words included, “You’re acting very, very gently, very soft, and very feminine,” and “I am not your wife, softy.” Touré called it strange behavior for “a professional therapist with a doctorate who preaches female empowerment.”

‘Stolen Valor‘

While the nation chatters about Bryant’s credentials and debates her professionalism, Touré said something wasn’t right from day one. And on the issue of gentle parenting, for which he is a staunch supporter, her reflected, “No child or family therapist would ever say ‘Gentle parenting is bad.’ That’s just not how a family and marriage therapist with three doctorates talks. That’s not how someone who has been through the academy sees the world.”

For Touré, Bryant’s credentials never added up.

“She thought she could fake it till she made it, Touré said. And what we have instead is a case of stolen valor — the academic version.”

There you have it. Don’t look for these two to mend fences anytime soon.
