The designer and mother of son Kiyan continued, “So, just to be a friend and be there to make her laugh when she needs to, cry when she needs to, is a beautiful thing. But that’s what friends do for each other, you know, so I’m always going to be there for her and the girls and just, you know, want to see her just continue to be strong and amazing.”
Calling Vanessa “the strongest woman I know,” Anthony said, “To see her smile and laugh to me is the greatest feeling. You know, to just have those moments whether they’re quick moments or not, you know, for her to be able to have that, so, I’ll continue to bring the fun and the laughter.”
Namechecking more besties, she added, “But Monica has been great, Ciara’s been great, and we’re just going to continue to support her in anything that she needs. This is not a one-week journey, a one-month journey. These friendships are lifelong bonds, so I’ve known Vanessa, what, maybe 13, 14, 15 years now?”
