The oh’ so pretty Letoya Luckett, star of Single Ladies, graces the newest issue of Rolling Out magazine. The ex-Destiny Child member dazzles for photographer Dewayne Roger as he captures her in a series of flirtatious shots that showcases Luckett’s gorgeous smile and killer curves. Inside the pages, Luckett opens up about battling self-esteem issues, the perils of social media, relationships and more. Check out the excerpts below.
On relationships:
“I’m not a control freak at all. Of course, you don’t want to get your heart-broken. But you can’t control other people. If you’re in a relationship and trying to control the other person, you’re going to be wasting your time. I learned a long time ago that you can’t control what somebody is going to do to you, but you can’t control how you react.”
On her battles with low self-esteem:
“I had things about myself that I didn’t like. I would always say ‘I wish I had this, I wish I had that’ I used to have this thing about my legs. If you look at all the Destiny’s Child albums from when I was in the group, you never saw me in a skirt. I was always the one who wore the pants. You want your boobs to grow; you want all kinds of things to happen. Eventually things fill out and sometimes they fill out too much.”
On how she feels about young girls who feel the need to show everything to get a man:
“With the younger gals now, because certain things are celebrated, they feel they have to show certain things to be appreciated by men. I don’t think I’ve been tempted to just to go crazy with it. I was dealing with self-esteem issues. I didn’t wanna show my legs, let alone my butt and all my goodies! There’s a certain time for that and only this many people should be lucky to see it. You, Jesus and a couple of other folks, but not the entire world.”
“I don’t think I’m a control freak. Of course, you don’t want to get your heart broken. But you can’t control other people. If you’re in a relationship, trying to control that other person — you’re going to be wasting your time. I learned a long time ago that you can’t control what somebody is going to do to you, but you can control how you react.”
