“My momma has already told me don’t have too many people around your house … I don’t care how good you trust them or whatever it is, I’m very mindful and careful. I would buy a friend a hotel room before I let them stay at my house,” she said.

“Am I supposed to let them into my home? Because we as believers, we believe that what we have we are supposed to share with others, but I’m not sharing my man,” she said in an interview. “Since I’m not sharing my man, I have to be cautious with everything else that I share as far as with him being there too. I think it’s such a thing as boundaries. Some friends don’t know that balance and can’t understand the balance,” she added.

Social media had some strong opinions, some even calling the singer and actress “insecure” within her marriage and friendships.

kierra sheard saying her mom taught her to be mindful who’s around her husband… one day we will discuss how the church puts asinine expectations on women.

Also, you shouldn’t be in a relationship if you have to be on guard like this.

She has since replied to the comments on her Instagram saying that healthy boundaries seem to some like insecurity and distrust, but is not the case.

“I’m blessed to have a husband and friends who I trust. My family and friends are most welcome in my home and THEY know who they are. I will remain prayerful and strategic in everything that I do, and so should you. Be encouraged to discern well because common sense ain’t so “common” these days,” she said.
