She's aged gracefully.
Shatierra Smith i would still smash
Yes!
Her aura is pure asf
Still sexy
I totally agree
She played that role good as hell.
Rodnye Theoc loved ronnie a lot!
First woman I ever saw that stayed sexy while being thrown through a mirror lol
@@kingartison Bloody and Still WAS Sexy lol
To well to be honest 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Ronnie was the star of that movie 💯💯♥️♥️
Brian Pimentel yes she was
Brian Pimentel Ronnie did steal the show! Lol
Brian Pimentel
Super Bad
She wasn't, she was just the bad guy
She really was .
Ronnie looks like she got saved from Stripping and now she's a church lady Lol
she is, her husband is a pastor. she's a first lady now,
Her name is chrystal Wilson
@@nme.00104 where did you get that info from? She's single and she's definitely not a first lady. Smh
@@a.j.johnson8518 she was on a documentary called uncensored on t.v. one, she lives in Atlanta now.
Definitely
She looks like aunt Rachel from family matters
Barry Cunningham 😂💀
lol
Barry Cunningham lol
She sure does
She Do look like aunt Rachel on family matters
"In this industry, CLOSED LEGS DON'T GET FED!"
Malcolm Agee business*
Lmmao
😂😂😂
who said tht
@@alexiscleanse8747 Ronnie to Ebony.
Hands down she was the baddest in that movie 😍😍😍😍😍
Taiisa Dixon Yup, she looked like she would have been the top dog at the club
MJ Zoom she was top dog at the club
Taiisa Dixon True Dat!
I agree! her and Diamond were both BAD AF!
Ronnie had the hair, the body, the style and swag plus she had game!!
She was the rawest but Diamond was a diverse ASF hustler.
She played the hell out of ronnie...."In this business closed legs don't get fed"😂 hope to see her in more movies
Her new ms ronnie
she played in pandoras box.
And she played in lockdown
ronnie is truly an ICONIC black film character. she really captured an era, a moment in time… mid-late 90's atlanta/southern culture.
She looks like she doesn't have stress in her life. I'm sure she has a good husband and family and didn't get caught up in the business. I'm so glad to see her doing and looking great.
She may not have stress in her life NOW but she was going thru some mess. Look up her episode on Iyanla Fix My Life. It may be on here still
Not at all... Lots of troubles just like everyone in players club
@@positivevibes______ are you sure it was her or was it LisaRaye?
@@anisahmuhammad228 😂 she meant Lisa Raye, her n her mom was on the show! 20+ years later n people still getting them confused!
@@anisahmuhammad228 No, it was her. She talked about her mother and a domestic violence relationship she was stuck in. I saw both episodes with her and Lisa. Lisa had her mom and daughter on and she was on the show with other women for her episode. A quick search will clear that up
Damn Cube is genius...She was perfect for the Role.
Every scene she was in was iconic!! That red cowgirl outfit was bomb
Right?! She looks so pretty in it and her body was 🔥
I swear she looks like she could be Jessica Dime's older sister..☺
Sherita Jones yep
she look like queen laftah
Yessss
Spicy Hot lol yeah or Megan Thee Stallion
I always said that! They remind me of each other even the personality
She KILLED that role! I remember sneaking to see that movie at the theater when I was 16. She immediately made her presence known from the minute she came on screen.
I was 15 years old at the time and my cousin and I got adults to buy tickets 🎟 for us for the movie.
They still look great cus Lisa Raye still gorgeous & body still bangin♥️
xoAngelicaF 💯 7/19/18
Great genes!
She looks great, she's so articulate and classy, nothing like I thought she'd be, she played that role.
She has great energy ☺️☺️
Ronnie was literally more iconic than Diamond. I love Lisa/Diamond but the role of Ronnie was amazing. It's usually hard to like protagonist but she made the role.
She wasn’t the protagonist
Antagonist babe.
NOW i gotta watch players club AGAIN 😘
My Thoughts Me too! 😍😍😍
My Thoughts that badunkadunk is big chile
I just watched it the other day it’s on tubi tv now
It’s back on Netflix
Her character MADE that movie. Despite her being the villain I was wanting more scenes with her!
This lady was the finest woman in that movie! She made that movie iconic!
She don't never get credit for how sexy she was in Players Club
Definitely Sexy 💯
She looks 10 times better now.
Man she had ass and eerrrthang wooooo
Ronnie was bad as shit..
Praise the Lawd!!!
Look at God!!!! Thank you all so much for the positive comments and all of the love you guys are showing to Chrystale Wilson. She so appreciates it and deserves it. Stay safe out there and continue to be blessed!!!!
Thank you so much for doing this! Love this actress!
I can't believe it's been 20 years omg!!!!
@Nikita Watkins right
Ronnie I want to see you on 50 Cent new show Power you need to be ghost sister
Ashley Satterfield yessssssssss
Ashley Satterfield Dope Ass idea! U should get a coin for this comment💯💯💯👍🏾
Ashley Satterfield that would be cool
Ashley Satterfield Absolutely!!!I couldn't fully hate Ronnie,she had moments when you just couldn't hate hate her!
that's a good idea
She is a legend just for that one movie
Paid, from one movie. Sometimes it only takes one.
She looks the same! Very beautiful
Ronnie was fine as hell in that movie fr, that lil red cowgirl fit she had on made me run out the damn theatre! 😭😭😭😭
😭😭
damn I wish we could see her audition tape 😫
She is actually giving me a young Jack'ee Harry
Yes and the other one who look like Jackee lol
Right
Spirit Harris facts
Spirit Harris peace and you’re looking like Whitney from a different world 🌎
A young 227 or Sister Sister Jackee'...I agree with you.
The fight scene was choreographed incredibly well.
She played the hell out of that role. ❤❤❤
She got humble written all over her , lol and I’m bout to pull out my PLAYERS CLUB DVD and watch it!
Now THAT's classic.
😂😂
Lisa raye didn't play her role better than hers she killed it
She seems to be actually a nice lady but you wouldn't know it from the movie!
Lakita Butler lol that’s a movie tho she’s not the same person
xoAngelicaF I know that I was jest pointing that out ,cause Alot of females do act like the character and people do think she was like her character in the movie!
Ok amen
That's why its called acting.....😳
Right i was saying the same thing
“Wassup new booty’. 🙃
Right ....lol new booty ?
I still say that till this day lmao
You betta watch that big ol thang
Lmaoooooo😂😂
"let's go hoe"
This should have way more hits and comments.....
Saw this with a cousin of mine when it originally was released in April 1998.
We saw it at Whitestone Theatres in the Bronx. That theatre closed down.
Rest in Peace Michael Clarke Duncan and Bernie Mac who were also in the film
Reynault Chevalier omggggg I didn’t know that theater closed omg wow
Omgggg I moved recently but seeing the Whitestone used as a DOT parking lot is depressing!! So many memories there
Vanna Kegley I agree! So sad yo
Whitestone was one of my favorite cinemas(circa mid 80's to mid 90's!) Though I resided in Staten Island/NJ, my college sweetheart lived in the BX, so we saw quite a few movies there!! Shout out to my dudes from Co-op City, and Edenwald; as well as Skate Key!! I attended college with Eddie and Charlies' younger brother, Vernon!! #RIPCharlieMurphy
Easter weekend 98
RONNIE WAS BOUT IT!. LOVE U BABY
Bout it, bout it.
He’s an EXCELLENT INTERVIEWER! Great job 👍🏾
Ronnie was really convincing in Players Club.
Its crazy how good and wholesome she looks here. She dosent even seem like that same female that played that role
She is so beautiful! I can't believe it's been over 20 year's now. Chrystale did a superb job playing Ronnie!
Wow she still looks beautiful, she played the villain , but she was the most memorable character in the whole movie 🎥!!!
"You lucky it's black history month.......or it would have been a lot worse"
Lol!
"Now who else wants some!??" 😂😂
Diamond: ebony got raped at juniors party tonight and you left her there, didn't you?!
Roni: i dont know what you're talking about.
(Knowing she guilty) lol
@@joshuawatts9996 everybody lrave the dressing room please
@@LEGENDPantherJennings pulls out the gun and fires!
Diamond: I want everybody out the motherfuckin dresser room please!
Diamond" I'm bout to kick yo muthafuckin ass!
Ronnie: "Nah after I kick yo ass I might just do you like Junior did Ebony."
Ronnie!!! She looks amazing!
Love her! She’s very sweet in person.
O
Op9ioo
I love this interviewer!!!! He never interrupts and asks really great questions
I agree. Plus he’s extremely respectful of her and he’s frankly awesome
Classic movie and a Classic character! 1998 was a hell of a year.
My baby was born that year,time sure does fly by, she'll be 22this year 🤗
Type casting is REAL ! It is very easy to get cast as one type of character in the industry. Pay attention to what she is saying in this video.
BULLSH*T!!!!! It isn't EASY to be cast in ANYTHING in Hollywood, because 2000 actors audition for ONE role!!!!!!!!!!!!
Chrystale Wilson still looks great after all these years.
I hate the fact that Player's Club is the only movie that she's noted for....she's VERY talented and beautiful.
I'm sorry but I know Lisa Raye looked good in the movie but I couldn't keep my eyes off of Ronnie AKA Chrystale Wilson the entire movie. And She is still gorgeous today. I might have to move to Atlanta.
RONNIE: 'SAY IT LOUD!'"... WHACK... COP: "I'M BLACK AND I'M PROUD."..LOL
SADLY in 2020 im still using Ronnie hoe quotes in my everyday life!!! #legendary #ronnie
"You gone work Juniors bachelor party? Vanilla going be there." I don't know why that's one of my favorites!😂
@@BayouBarbie504 😁😂🤣

9o999oo
Giiiiirrrrlllaaaaaa! U and me both!🤣🤣
I always wondered where The Players Club was based out of & I FINALLY got my answer … no other than ATL . Thank you Chrystale!! 🙌🏽
This was just a classic movie and it’s so good to see that black don’t crack. Wonderful interview and she is such a great person. I loved also seeing her on Iyanla.
To play Ronnie she is great actress. She seem so classy!!!!
I loved Ronnie she was the shit too much Confidence
momo lovestar * Yup... she definitely killed that role and stole the show imo
Amen
In the 90s it was okay.
U can never have too much confidence 💯💯go 4 yours every day!!
Funny thing is I just watched "The Player's Club" last night and this pops up. Great interview👏🏾👏🏾
Thank you!!
Chrystale Wilson has a split personality... very bold & convincing actress. Lol Great interview.
She made THE PLAYER'S CLUB her role was so ICONIC and REMARKABLE shout to CHRYSTAL WILSON . 🔥🔥🔥🔥
She played the hell out that role because it’s like night and day. Seem so classy and well spoken.
This was a great interview. I love the way you allowed her to speak, & didn’t drown her out. It really showcased her personality, & showed you’re a great listener while taking full control of the direction of your talk. Everything doesn’t have to be about attacking guests. She made a lot of good points about the lightskinned/darkskinned issues w/o sounding victimized.
I love the interview he lets her talk with out interrupting very well spoken as well this movie a classic
I've never heard of the guy interviewing her . He's a great interviewer some of these dudes need to take notes.
U played that movie girl
Ok
She shole did 💖🔥
She is so pretty😍
Fantastic interview Ray! Love Chrystale's energy!
She played in the movie called Pandora’s Box and it was Soooo good! 😩
shame her career didn't pan out.. she was really good in players club. Like she said, she could secure a team, a powerful network to push her brand.. seems she was 20 years early for social media and representation
TRUTH
B Hutch You never know.. Depends on HER perception of if her career panned-out , or not. You would be aurpriaes how many celebrities just appreciate their accomplishments and don't look at what they don't have. She's done lots of stage plays and some small roles on Broadway too, im not mistaken.

Great interview,back story fantastic brilliant actress wish I could see you in more movies 💞
wow she still looks good 💕
A PART 2 NEEDS TO BE MADE AND LET HER HAVE HER OWN STRIP CLUB!!!!
real life I like that concept. I wouldn't even mind it being a TV movie. The acting just needs to be as good as it was in the first one. Alot of sequels were never that good.
real life no they was arrested for Ebonys rape remember
AngelLuvsVids2015 Luv it could work because dollat bill was murdered and the players club was burned down. A new bitch in charge
real life it wont work unless shes reformed and turns into more a mother figure for those girls and that would have some the girls work on a scheme settin up guys to be robbed without her knowledge and one of the guys set up happened to get murdered and the girls who did it put on trial and everyone blames Ronnie for it but this time shes innocent shes only guilty of her involvement with creating the girls who ran the schemes under with her knowledge cause theyre using Ronnies old Ho Quotes "Closed legs dont get fed " " Sometimes you got to use what you have to get what you want " thats the only way a new Sequel movie would work .
hell yeah
Thank you Ray! This was a great interview.
She looks so good! The Player's Club is a classic! Easily one of my favorite movies. Ronnie was perfectly scandalous. ♥️♥️♥️
I still have my TPC on dvd with original box. I'm never getting rid of it..
This lady is such a great actress. Great interview.
She still looks amazing and healthy too. This was such a great interview!
I respect her hustle 🙌🏽
Now I feel old 😹.Definetely a classic movie. She played that role well
Great interview! I never expected her personality to be so pleasant!! ♡
She is so wholesome and sweet.
She's a doll. Well spoken, articulate & poised. She nailed her Ronnie character. I was blown away!
I hope my wife age gracefully like some of these older women. They do get sexier. Black don’t crack. Melanin rules.
pearl louise Most definitely! Thanks!
phil5301 Like Prince said, “Black don’t crack and beige don’t age”.
@pearl louise I definitely plan to and working on it
AMEN AMEN AMEN, Sister 🎉@@teryckcoles
SHE DID THAT!!!💕 I STILL CALL HER RONNIE! TALENTED!
Wow she is a good actress. Chrystale is a far cry from Ronnie
Amen the same thing I said....
Miss Chrystale aka Ronnie definitely have blossomed in timeless beauty over time and we get the origins of how she became what she became 🙏🏾🙏🏾 blessings to her always
I love this story. Classic movie! #Nostalgia
That interviewer was perfect very professional. Chystale has always been and always will be my true crush. When I see her I see a real women. The way she looks and talks makes me wish I lived in Atlanta. 😘
And now its on netflix!
I remember watching this as a kid, 95’ 😂 i used to sneak and watch this with my youngest sister. Always covered my face when ebony got violated. I know i was young and didn’t understand everything but it was so good‼️🔥
Players club was 1998
I love the way she came Thur with the “dark skin light skin “ topic.. I felt that !!! She is so gorgeous n graceful
She is still as beautiful as she was back then ❤️
Yessss
She hasn't aged. Still beautiful and humble
Don't 4get Y'all She Also Kept It Hood N Played In Lockdown👍🏾(Even Tho It Was A Minor Role 4 Her)
Gee Status that was a good movie
Hurts Publishing I Totally Agree Wit U!!!!!100%(It Was Also Sad😟How All 3 Of Da Main Guys Ended Up In Jail N Only 1 Survived Deep Picture Overall)
Yep
Don't forget Trois the movie !
She has a very interesting and heart-wrenching history (*Iyanla Fix My Life). I wish that Chrystale would do a TV One Uncensored Episode.
Oh my gosh!!!!20 years later Congratulations to all of you guys "Ronnie still looks the same.💕💋
She doesn't look the same,she still looks good tho,u can tell she gained some weight,she still nice looking tho but older 💯💯
@@bobbyjohnson8968 she does look the same just older in the face when I saw her I was like that's not her but when I seen them cheekbones I was like that's definitely ronnie from the players club
You know that an actress is AMAZING when you watch a movie, and you actually get your serious feelings involved and you get angry at her, as if she's really the person she's pretending to be! Bc with Chrystale, I hated her after I seen Players Club... But I had to remember that she's not really that particular person! So in that sense, I love her acting skills..
Indeed
She's still bad!!!
+3BuckHead She definitely still got it. She hasn't really aged that much.
Yes
Praise the Lawd!!!
Word😐
Yes she is amazing
Ronnie and the person and real life is like day and night omg!!! Wow. A lot of the characters in this movie scared me.
Players club on Netflix too by the way
Im so glad to see her i try to keep up with her career. We love you girl
Make that money don't let it make you. One of the best line ever.
Diamond said that 💯💯
@@bobbyjohnson8968 hmmmm no mama she said to her
