SUMMER WALKER, RICH THE KID & TORI BRINXX: CHEATERS, SIDES & SELF-RESPECT
The Summer Walker x Rich The Kid x Tori drama is messy, but the message is clear: a man who cheats doesn’t love you. Let’s talk about why so many women still settle for this.
Summer Walker’s name has been swirling online after a leaked audio clip revealed her telling Rich The Kid to save her number as “Pizza Hut” — so they can keep sneaking around behind Tori Brixx’s back. In the message, she even says she’s fine being the “other woman,” as long as Rich stays with Tori and their family. Summer later addressed the drama on Instagram Live, arguing that Tori should stop being shocked — “a man who cheats over and over doesn’t actually love you,” she seemed to suggest.
On the flip side, Tori Brixx has made it clear she’s still standing — or at least trying to. She responded to Summer by calling out how disrespectful things have gotten, and pointed to Rich’s history of infidelity. Rich The Kid did issue a public apology to Tori, admitting to “disloyalty” and asking for forgiveness.
Here’s what hits deep in this whole situation: women shouldn’t be okay with being in a relationship where their partner is cheating — even if that partner says he loves them. When cheating becomes a “normal thing,” respect gets lost. Love says “you’re the only one,” but cheating screams insecurity and selfishness. A man who truly respects and loves you doesn’t hide his phone or hide you in his contacts under fast food names.

If Summer is saying she’s fine being the side piece — that’s her decision. But it doesn’t change the fact that when someone cheats, it’s not just about sex: it’s about disrespect. It’s about sending the message that they don’t value what you have together enough to keep it sacred.
So, here’s the question for all of us: Is it possible to really love someone if you’re cheating on them? And as women (or partners in general), when do we draw the line between “ride-or-die” and “settling for disrespect”?
