Sorry i missed the recent question and answer event. Hopefully i'll get a chance to look into the story about AJ and Victoria, and submit my opinion. Then again, let me just add this, either homeboy was sho nuf rich, or very insecure. For Victoria to have helped him change his perception, she must have been very influential, or driven beyond Mans insecure feelings and humble enough to let actions speak louder than words. AJ had room for growth, and his acceptance provided that growth and maturity. To answer the question, " YES AND NO ". Why ?
Because to me its a " two sided coin ".
Kevin.
