The Five Proposals and Why She Said No
Thede revealed the specific details of each rejected proposal. The first proposal came with a ring but included the condition that they live in separate houses because the man couldn't be around her for more than three days at a time. The second proposal occurred on a third date in Palm Springs when the man got drunk, stood up on a table, and asked her to marry him; when he confirmed his proposal the next day, she declined citing an alcohol problem. The third proposal happened in Venice, Italy, when a romantic moment was interrupted by an incoming text on his phone revealing he had been sending inappropriate photos to another woman. The fourth proposal almost occurred during a taping of her BET show 'The Rundown with Robin Thede,' but she was alerted to the plan beforehand and declined it. A fifth proposal described as 'we might as well do it' also received her rejection.
Her Relationship Standards
Thede explained her perspective on relationships during the podcast conversation with Keke Palmer. She stated her one big rule is simple, borrowing from Whoopi Goldberg: 'I don't want nobody in my house.' She emphasized that she is clear about her standards and no longer confused by what she wants. Thede acknowledged that for a long time she had a fixer mentality and felt like everybody needed her, but now recognizes how much she used to carry. She made clear that she needs her partners to meet her needs, not the other way around.
The Context of the Revelation
Thede shared these stories for the first time on the latest episode of 'Baby, This is Keke Palmer,' a podcast hosted by Keke Palmer. She described the proposals as 'crazy' and approached the topic with humor and clarity. Palmer, who admitted she has never been engaged, found the conversation relatable and joked about her own experiences with men wanting her to fix their lives. Both women acknowledged that men tend to fall in love with them quickly and separately noted the importance of their partners being 'fine,' or meeting their standards.
