The talk show host added that her mom was always her "rock, her ride or die, her best friend and icon."
Jeannie also revealed how her family would try to bring the two together at parties. "It was like the Love & Hip Hop was nothing compared to what was happening with me and my mom. We would throw things at each other and start cursing," Jeannie admitted.
The stylist added that she believes that "there is something spiritual between mother and daughter." She explained that she prayed for her and her mom to find their way back to each other someday.
"I'm so devoted to God today...and I confronted my mom with what she did that was wrong. God replaced my ears with his and I put my heart with his. I made up with my mom that day... and that's why i am a Christian now," Jeannie said.
