Chrissy Lampkin Watches 2011 VH1 Clip Where She Proposes To Jim Jones: "That Was A Lot"

Fifteen years together and Chrissy Lampkin is still hopelessly in love with rapper Jim Jones. The couple was the catalyst for Love & Hip Hop which, in turn, has become a global reality television phenomenon with multiple spin-off series. However, Jim and Chrissy decided to leave the show early on after filming became too much for Jim to handle.

"You know, I never watched this," Chrissy said. "Yo, you see his mother's face? My little hands were shaking." She also said that there were "so many guys" that "cursed me out about this scene." Apparently, their girlfriends bought them rings, as well, because their ladies decided not to wait on proposals. 

"That was a lot," she said after watching the clip. "I felt the love. I felt the nerves. I saw his mother's behavior. Um, it as weird and I'm not in that space anymore. But that's okay, I still love him. The love is still there. The importance of marriage, I think I've put on the back burner because I think people need to be whole as individuals before they come together for a union." Check out her clip below.
