At the event, the VH1 star revealed her marital issues with her husband of six years, Neil Murphy. “Things ain’t that great with us,” Big Ang told RadarOnline.com. “Right now I just want to be by myself. I think it’s time I just do Angela, it’s time for me to worry about Angela. Instead of taking care of everybody, I am taking care of myself.”

She was diagnosed with throat cancer for the second time after beating the illness in March of 2015. “I’m doing good,” she said. “All I care about right now are my kids, grandchildren and staying healthy so I could see them grow up.”
