Definitely messy to ask Kelly about a struggle of one of his friends. Ask Flex for an interview so he can speak on it himself. Kelly handled it gracefully.
Flex spoke about this year's ago on tvone for his wife's (RnB singer Shanice) unsung episode. I believe he said Martin Lawrence & his wife helped him when he lost his house.
I cannot believe this guy actually does talk and act in real life the way he acts on the big screen. Real fidgety, an animated. You can tell he is a good guy. But boy is he funny! lol
I appreciated how he was always funny yet dignified. His characters were never caricatures and there was always an integrity to the humor. That’s big to me. I feel the same way about Carl Anthony Payne II (Cole from Martin)
Never knew none of this. It happens folks. I'm living that now. Been trying hard to get on my feet for the last two years. Covid-19 caused me to lose my job in 2020 that I was on for 27 years. Always showed up for work on time. Got my work done. Didn't take days off that I didn't have. But when it was time to start calling people back, for some odd reasons I was never given that call. Wish I can say God answers prayers, but I've been praying for so long and I never feel the results of it. I also lost my mom 1 months after I got laid off. I know my mom would be terribly disappointed that I feel God won't answer my prayers. I know it would eat her up. Believe me, I'm trying hard to remain positive even when there's so much negative around me.
I speak from experience. My daddy was already dead,, my mama & grandmadied 4 months apart. I was in foreclosure, divorced, 3 kids, was becoming disabled, receiving it now. Lost my house, my navigator 🤣🤷🏾♀️👌🏽 my family talked about me. Paid for my moms plot,, had half of the funeral cost, thought family would help.. funeral home donated a pine box & wrote off the rest a couple of months later.. should've cremated her.. My children went to live with their dad for a few years.. I stayed in cheap motels,, on peoples couches,, was almost raped.. my home was open for whomever & I had nobody.. I'm reunited with my children as of last September & in my own place.. Prayer, supplication & Thanksgiving. Command your day upon waking.. pray the whole armor on you.. the Israelite spent an extra 40 years in the wilderness because they complained,, you hear me. Bless God anyway.. His strength is perfected during our weakness. He feeds the birds & they do not sow. His mercy is brand new everyday. Stand on it. Continue in the faith & in due season you will reap. Without faith it's impossible to please God. I blessed God anyways in the face of everything. People can't stand me to this day because I kept my head & kept smiling regardless. I listen to gospel all day to keep me going. I feed my spirit with gladness. No shoot em up movies or negativity is allowed in my spirit. You go in peace and be blessed in Jesus name.
I definitely didn't know my man ended up homeless. The entertainment industry is very hard and they are willing to throw you away as soon as they see you are not producing what they want.
Specially black kid actors! I’m still a lil surprised to see Franklin from My Wife n kids & Tyler from Everybody hates Chris are still actively working in high budget projects. It’s so many actors you wonder what happened to.
Homeless is relative. Giving up a million dollar home you can't afford to live in a house or apartment you can afford isn't being homeless. That's insulting. You honestly think Shaneice Wilson and Flex Alexander were on the street?
My brother you haven't said nothing we have not heard before... BUT listen the way you said it!!!!! lets us know you're a very emotionally intellectual.. compassionate soul. That should be a speaker somewhere because you deliver a word straight the hearts. That was so on point. The tone of voice and that 1 line " there's always a side that you can't see with a swipe" DEEP. God bless you 🙌
Yes, I can definitely picture him doing that, Dysontime. I ran into him years ago at Grant's Tomb in uptown Harlem, NY. I didn't speak to him, but just observed how down-to-earth his demeanor struck me as. You can even tell from TV he is such a class act; him AND his family. Much love to the Alexanders, specifically Uncle Spirit (smile). I miss their reality show, but sure they are blessed and doing well!
Flex has been opened about his financial struggles. Glad him, and Shanice are getting their finances in order. I watched their reality TV, and they are truly fighters, and survivers. Beautiful family, and they are both talented.😊
Flex said in a interview him and his wife was spending 10s of thousands of dollars a month on material things and just plain fun not thinking his checks would slow up, Then Reality/Bills/Mortgage hit🤷🏿🤷🏿🤦🏿. He was ok with it, it was a lesson learned for them...
@@hoodhippychick Yes, he’s married to Shanice. The had a reality show on OWN talking about how they ended up bankrupt. From the show they both said they were living in a hotel while married not really homeless living on the street. Some people like to exaggerate.
So many have said how cruel the entertainment industry can be. It's any wonder that some actually just get full-time jobs that are flexible while they support their other passion.
Uh obviously by the very nature it's not stable, it's not cruel. If you choose to do that then that's what you choose to do. They pay the big bucks because it can end at any moment.
He and his wife got over extended on investments not tricking money off. The thing I respected about it, it seemed him and Shanice have so much love and respect for each other. She didnt disrespect him or dog him out for the things that happened with them.
Shanice Didn't Pull A JADA On Flex,Telling All Their Business,Throwing Him Under The Bus,Betraying Him,He's Got A Good Black Woman By And On His Side!!!
Yes. Life has cycles. You can be riding high, pockets overflowing one day and one thing can trigger a chain of events that can bring your situation all the way down. I love The Alexander's and admire their partnership and how they've handled their difficult times.
Kelly Perine is an interesting and intelligent person. He has an education from school and the industry. He also has a very strong work ethic so, he will always have a plan so he won't starve.
I have had high highs and low lows and you know what I learned? To be grateful and never, ever judge. I applaud everyone that can live publicly and not fall apart when trials come. Flex and his wife have real love and God so they'll be just fine.
The thing is..... high and lows are normal in most, if not all, peoples LIVES, some more severe than others. If someone has never experienes lows in life... You havent really lived.
@@lionxwarrior3004 🤔.. another TH-cam goofy lol. When I say lows, examples...when you're trying to start a business and things dont go quite as planned and fail, when you work for a company and everything is going well, and you get laid off or fired suddenly, when life is going great and you have deaths in your family and you see the family slowly deteriorate over BS... You haven't lived....
Oh Lord. Check out the brother's spending habits. The "industry" didn't throw nobody away. The "industry" didn't promise you being paid for life either.
I know that's right bro finding out the financial struggles they was been put through.my heart goes out to them flex & shanice are a powerful & very humble couple.and I have so much love for shanice.for staying true to her man when things was getting tough.thats a true virtuous woman I would love to have a woman like shanice.
One of the main problems is when you are on top and you have money if you are not careful and you are balling like there is no tomorrow, and will end up biting you in the ass. You get hanger oners, who hang with you for your money, you got family and friends with their hands out picking your pockets and counting your money as if it was theirs, you have shady industry people who screw you out of money and you do bad investments, let alone some that do drugs and have children with random women. This happens to athletes as well. But these people need to have a level head and get themselves a good money manager to help them through the ropes or take a course on money management so they can keep an eye on their money. Money doesn't last long if everybody is watching it except you.
I met Flex at The Cage in NYC in 1993. That Brother has Always Been a Real Person and Individual. Always Humble & Always Accessible. You could always bump into Bro in NYC. Nothing but Love.
Most of the entertainers that we hear about that go broke are usually under 35 when it happen and they have time to recover and get back on track. It’s part of life to be young and reckless
I like how he is putting it in words tho he’s not bashing his friend, he’s just trying to get people to relate to their can be hard times and good times for anyone but learn to get through it, I understand.
I saw it on the OWN channel, I respect any celebrity that shares those real experiences in their life, it’s humbling. A few have shared theirs on television

@@truewilliams7118 They brought their loved ones in to help with bills, I think Shanice’s mother was her manager, and they helped with their children. It was definitely a win for them and the OWN checks helped.
Enjoyed this guy soooooo much on One On One!! He is Hilarious!!!! That was a very good show! I still watch it!!!! Enjoyed, he, Flex and all of the actors on this show! He displayed respect for his friend and colleague when he answered the question about Flex that should have been posed to Flex himself and not his friend.
He's saying Flex homeless is nothing compared to like a Mexico or Brazil homeless because all the knowledge and connections he now has. He's only homeless by Americans perspective but to some 3rd world countries... Like you homeless sleeping in your 2016 tesla and walking around with a $700 phone.
Nah, that’s not fair to compare or be dismissive of what that man went through. Plus that man had a wife and kids so imagine being homeless with them on his hip.
I guess it’s all about perspective. Sleeping on a couch with blankets in a nice home vs sleeping on rocks in the street are two different realities. It’s still gonna be devastating when you were independent and now you are dependent on others. But Flex will probably be the first one to say that he was blessed to not have to sleep on rocks in the streets of Mexico with his family.
It’s mind boggling how there will always be people who blow their all their cash when there are endless examples/documentaries off ppl before them doing it.
I see his point. It's a graph. I first remember Flex as a dancer with Salt n Peppa during their "Express Yourself" run. As long as you going up you gone take some dips but look how far you came. And he ain't homeless now so he still winning. Tacky as hell too to ask another man about someone else's finances. He reached but Kelly ain't take the bait.
Kelly Perrine is the man. Whenever I see his name for a movie or a TV show I make sure I watch even a little bit to see him do his thing. Tyler Perry needs to get in touch with this man right here. He could be Mr Brown's long lost brother, e-v-i-l twin brother or something 🤣🤣🤣 ... A series by his own self. SKILLS!!!
An overextended investment is a gamble. That’s the purpose of investing your money: only using SOME to see what it does but in ways that you can afford. If you are “investing” with money you can’t afford to lose it’s gambling. I am not saying that you can’t have a bad investment but that’s something that should affect whatever money you put up not your whole livelihood. The problem with our people is that for CENTURIES no one ever taught us ANY fiscal responsibility nor do we have a good grasp of how money works. I remember watching an interview with Eric Sermon about when EPMD first got signed. He said they knew ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about the contract that they signed! Didn’t know about tax brackets and what to pay and the irs came looking for them. He said they had trouble with some of the basic mathematics concepts like decimals and fractions and percentages but were signing million dollar deals that included all these things and the breakdown of them but they didn’t understand. Kevin Garnett talked about how all these ball players were the ones skipping class and being the popular ones but missing out on the vital information they needed to know about their futures. Saying how most guys who sign these contracts are those skip class guys and they go out and spend up tons of money thinking it’ll always come in and they will always have it or that nothing will happen to them (like injury). What’s someone gonna do with a million bucks when the most money they have ever seen at one time was 2000 bucks? They are going to piss it away! I knew athletes during my teaching days who would go to the store and buy snacks and stuff like that and then get their change back and just push it into their pockets with not a glance at a receipt or a coin in change counted! That’s who is signing these contracts. They have no idea about how they are supposed to be with their finances. Zero! I hate seeing this but it’s nothing that’s new. The super sad thing is that those of us who DO know about money and have mathematical acuity are not trying to help their brother, they are trying to get over and take from people just like everyone else. That’s why you have to look out for yourself because no one else is.
I was in Encino paying $4,800 in rent back in 2006. I went through my money and confidence in record time. It was a dark chapter. I got the hell out of CA for my sanity.
@@clairedaniels1877 I was trying to keep up my east coast standards. My house in NJ was 2k. A similar place in Encino was nearly 5k. I had 2 kids with me.
Thing is a lot of times when you get that first big check, especially when you are young, you think that you'll get another to replace that one so you spend it. Then you get your next pay check, boom, same mentality. And the cycle continues. I look back at my first job with Comcast. My first two week check wasn't but $500/600 but back then when the cost of living was much lower, I had real money on me for once and didn't have to beg anyone to loan me this or loan me that. PS2 cost $600? I bought it. Games $50 each? Let me get all of the launch titles, wasn't nothing. You buy things way beyond your means but hey, you'll get that next check and you'll be alright... UNTIL YOU DON'T. And then you have to pay that car note, and that mortgage, and that utility bill, and that insurance, you know what I mean. That steady income you thought you had easily covered it all but once it's gone, if you didn't save/invest, that debit is gone come at you fast when you don't have income to replenish your account.
PEOPLE NEED TO STOP LIVING ABOVE THERE MEANS EVEN when you are making what seems to be GOOD money it’s wise to STASH MORE than one is spending especially buying ALL those keeping up with the jones THINGS
I always wondered about him this man is so funny. I never understood why he never got his own TV show a wise career never took off because he was always someone sidekick on the show but he was funnier than the star of the show
Maybe the story was told wrong but I thought Flex and Shaniece had to sale the house and then they started renting from the owner whom brought it? I never heard they were homeless.
It's call life and people lived they life's individually and things happen sometimes beyond my our control it's the way we handle and come up out of it We fall down but we get up all the best to Flex and shanice because threw it all they did not let it break them they stay together threw it all God keep blessing you guys.
Well God bless both of you I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy having a roof over your head is first priority 🙏 I've been through that no joke, good u can help 💯💯
Been there I use to have to eat butter and bread and only shower at work. Was living in my van for about 6 months. Worked at a factory so was able to eat at the cafeteria. Also worked 6 days a week .
Definitely messy to ask Kelly about a struggle of one of his friends. Ask Flex for an interview so he can speak on it himself. Kelly handled it gracefully.
And I was watching it too to see how he would handle it and you right! handled it like a G.

For real. He was always funny on whatever sitcom he was on. I too have felt like he just disappeared.

Enjoyed this guy soooooo much on One On One!! He is Hilarious!!!! That was a very good show! I still watch it!!!! Enjoyed, he, Flex and all of the actors on this show! He displayed respect for his friend and colleague when he answered the question about Flex that should have been posed to Flex himself and not his friend.
Love him, so extremely talented! God bless you, sir! 💛
He's saying Flex homeless is nothing compared to like a Mexico or Brazil homeless because all the knowledge and connections he now has. He's only homeless by Americans perspective but to some 3rd world countries...
Like you homeless sleeping in your 2016 tesla and walking around with a $700 phone.
Nah, that’s not fair to compare or be dismissive of what that man went through. Plus that man had a wife and kids so imagine being homeless with them on his hip.
I guess it’s all about perspective. Sleeping on a couch with blankets in a nice home vs sleeping on rocks in the street are two different realities. It’s still gonna be devastating when you were independent and now you are dependent on others.
But Flex will probably be the first one to say that he was blessed to not have to sleep on rocks in the streets of Mexico with his family.
This guy is brilliant 👏 👌 he answered it brilliantly 👏
It’s mind boggling how there will always be people who blow their all their cash when there are endless examples/documentaries off ppl before them doing it.
I see his point. It's a graph. I first remember Flex as a dancer with Salt n Peppa during their "Express Yourself" run. As long as you going up you gone take some dips but look how far you came. And he ain't homeless now so he still winning.
Tacky as hell too to ask another man about someone else's finances. He reached but Kelly ain't take the bait.
I loooved this man on one on one by far the funniest character to me ❤️
Kelly Perrine is the man. Whenever I see his name for a movie or a TV show I make sure I watch even a little bit to see him do his thing. Tyler Perry needs to get in touch with this man right here. He could be Mr Brown's long lost brother, e-v-i-l twin brother or something 🤣🤣🤣 ... A series by his own self. SKILLS!!!
An overextended investment is a gamble. That’s the purpose of investing your money: only using SOME to see what it does but in ways that you can afford. If you are “investing” with money you can’t afford to lose it’s gambling. I am not saying that you can’t have a bad investment but that’s something that should affect whatever money you put up not your whole livelihood. The problem with our people is that for CENTURIES no one ever taught us ANY fiscal responsibility nor do we have a good grasp of how money works. I remember watching an interview with Eric Sermon about when EPMD first got signed. He said they knew ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about the contract that they signed! Didn’t know about tax brackets and what to pay and the irs came looking for them. He said they had trouble with some of the basic mathematics concepts like decimals and fractions and percentages but were signing million dollar deals that included all these things and the breakdown of them but they didn’t understand. Kevin Garnett talked about how all these ball players were the ones skipping class and being the popular ones but missing out on the vital information they needed to know about their futures. Saying how most guys who sign these contracts are those skip class guys and they go out and spend up tons of money thinking it’ll always come in and they will always have it or that nothing will happen to them (like injury). What’s someone gonna do with a million bucks when the most money they have ever seen at one time was 2000 bucks? They are going to piss it away! I knew athletes during my teaching days who would go to the store and buy snacks and stuff like that and then get their change back and just push it into their pockets with not a glance at a receipt or a coin in change counted! That’s who is signing these contracts. They have no idea about how they are supposed to be with their finances. Zero! I hate seeing this but it’s nothing that’s new. The super sad thing is that those of us who DO know about money and have mathematical acuity are not trying to help their brother, they are trying to get over and take from people just like everyone else. That’s why you have to look out for yourself because no one else is.

I was in Encino paying $4,800 in rent back in 2006. I went through my money and confidence in record time. It was a dark chapter. I got the hell out of CA for my sanity.
Why the heck were you paying that much for rent in Encino? Are you really saying there wasn’t cheaper housing?
@@clairedaniels1877 I was trying to keep up my east coast standards. My house in NJ was 2k. A similar place in Encino was nearly 5k. I had 2 kids with me.
jordan peele definitely reminds me of Bro and he always been funny to me 🔥 🔥
He’s a great friend
Thing is a lot of times when you get that first big check, especially when you are young, you think that you'll get another to replace that one so you spend it. Then you get your next pay check, boom, same mentality. And the cycle continues. I look back at my first job with Comcast. My first two week check wasn't but $500/600 but back then when the cost of living was much lower, I had real money on me for once and didn't have to beg anyone to loan me this or loan me that. PS2 cost $600? I bought it. Games $50 each? Let me get all of the launch titles, wasn't nothing. You buy things way beyond your means but hey, you'll get that next check and you'll be alright... UNTIL YOU DON'T. And then you have to pay that car note, and that mortgage, and that utility bill, and that insurance, you know what I mean. That steady income you thought you had easily covered it all but once it's gone, if you didn't save/invest, that debit is gone come at you fast when you don't have income to replenish your account.
He was trying his best to tap around that question 🤣😂
Yoooooo he was super funny on that show. Very underrated
PEOPLE NEED TO STOP LIVING ABOVE THERE MEANS EVEN when you are making what seems to be GOOD money it’s wise to STASH MORE than one is spending especially buying ALL those keeping up with the jones THINGS
Kelly Perine comedic timing was genius in One on One.
Btw- Looooove Mr. Perine. He is one of the best comedic actors in the world.
When did Flex become homeless? I thought he and Shanice were doing good ?
This was some years ago
Great perspective
I remember this dude singing sorry 2004 on them upn days 🤣😂😂. I’m glad hes doing ok.
I Like The Way He Spoke!
After having the channel and doing interviews for a decent amount of time at this point, why is the sound quality so poor? Get it together!
ABSOLUTELY I couldn’t hear the interviewer ! 😒
@@brucebeamon5460 yeah, they could’ve kept this one in the archives.
I always wondered about him this man is so funny. I never understood why he never got his own TV show a wise career never took off because he was always someone sidekick on the show but he was funnier than the star of the show
Bruh always reminded of someone who is family
Maybe the story was told wrong but I thought Flex and Shaniece had to sale the house and then they started renting from the owner whom brought it? I never heard they were homeless.
It's call life and people lived they life's individually and things happen sometimes beyond my our control it's the way we handle and come up out of it We fall down but we get up all the best to Flex and shanice because threw it all they did not let it break them they stay together threw it all God keep blessing you guys.
Flex started as stand up comedian...seems he has new material now
I like how he explained that.
This man is still sound thesame as he was on the show 😭 Great actor
I f****** love this guy he's amazing I even loved him when he was on that show but the way you spoke was very intelligent if you got it
Well God bless both of you I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy having a roof over your head is first priority 🙏 I've been through that no joke, good u can help 💯💯
Bro really really is a underrated actor
Been there I use to have to eat butter and bread and only shower at work. Was living in my van for about 6 months. Worked at a factory so was able to eat at the cafeteria. Also worked 6 days a week .
