The woman who was previously slammed after refusing to go on a first date to The Cheesecake Factory has admitted that she was 'self-centered' in the now viral clip - but still insisted that a man should treat her like 'royalty.' 


Alicia and Jay, who first met at a bar in Midtown Atlanta, made headlines last week when she refused to get out of the car and branded the chain restaurant as 'embarrassing.'


But, following the duo's bitter debate in the video which has so far amassed over 7.8 million views, they sat down with host of the Truth Factory Kevin Wesley to describe the aftermath of the fiery first date. When the duo caught up with Wesley, Alicia told the host that she refused to get out of the car because 'a queen doesn't do that,' adding that she cannot be seen going into The Cheesecake Factory. She also opened up about her decision to record their conversation, despite Jay's hesitations.  


Alicia stated: 'I felt like [he] didn't see my value. In that moment, I felt like I needed the support of my viewers in that moment.  'I discuss relationships and things like that, so I thought that that was a good opportunity for me to have that conversation and see like what does everybody else think. 


'I wasn't really taking [Jay's] feelings into consideration, I wasn't trying to be necessarily malicious or anything.' 


She also chalked up her behavior to the crowd she surrounds herself with.  Alicia said that if any of her pals discovered she went to The Cheesecake Factory, she would 'never live it down.' 


She explained that her attitude came from her upbringing because she had been raised to expect a man to 'court' her. 

 Alicia added: 'To be fair, I was always raised that the man is supposed to cater to you. You're courting me, so court me. That means wherever I want to go, you take me. Whatever I want, you buy me. That's courting. I'm looking for a provider.' 


However, she did admit that she may have focused on herself too much, instead of taking into account Jay's feelings. 


'But after the conversation, I could see how there was a lot of "I" in that exchange. I was definitely very self-centered. I can appreciate that if I do want someone to provide for me, I have at least got to be a little bit nice. 


'I'm a beautiful woman, so I expect to be treated like royalty,' she continued.  Alicia explained that her race was a factor in the conversation because she was 'tired of having to settle.' 


She noted that as a black woman, she no longer wants to stay in relationships where her needs aren't being met, adding that she wants a 'soft life.

Jay spoke about how the clip has impacted his dating life, adding that he has found it difficult to find someone who is genuinely interested in him because Alicia took their date to the next level by recording it.
