Ever since catching a massive backlash for performing at Donald Trump’s Inauguration, Chrisette Michele’s been through the grinder in both her professional and personal life.
From being dropped from her record label to more painfully going through a miscarriage, the R&B singer/songwriter has seen fire and she’s seen rain.
Today, Chrisette stopped by The Breakfast Club to talk about the miscarriage, why she posted it online, and how she feels today about having performed for the most hated man on earth, Cheeto Jesus.
Here are the 7 things we learned from Chrisette Michele on The Breakfast Club.

1. Miscarriage
Chrisette says she posted news of her miscarriage on social media because not only has she didn’t think it was enough to just say she had a miscarriage. She wanted people to see what it looked like. Also that picture wasn’t of her own miscarriage. [Editor’s Note: Huh? What? Bruh! —aqua]

3. Trump Effect
She feels that the stress of Trump becoming President and the hate she’s experienced for being “so associated with someone that I don’t support” had her wondering if she wanted to sing again and put a lot of stress on her body.

4. Good Intentions Gone Bad
Once again she admits that performing at Trump’s inauguration wasn’t the best of ideas saying “I was wrong and I offended a lot of people.” She felt that maybe the message in her song during that time “would be helpful.” It was not.

6. Vegan Status
Chrisette says she went vegan for four years to get ride of her ADHD so she could think straight. She says doing yoga helped her get to the same mental place that Xanax used to.

7. Pain
Michelle says that the miscarriage hurt more than the Trump backlash or being dropped by her label simply because it happened right after she got married. She looked forward to giving her new husband his first child. That’s deep.
