"A couple of very severe things happened to me while I was involved with Eric B," she said. "Life lessons. And you'll see it because the movie's a teachable moment. While it's gonna be very dramatic, it's a teachable moment."

"Good morning, Eric. Ra, your boy celebrated his 56th birthday in jail," she said. "Don't say, 'Aw!' Not when I explain to you what he did to me. But you have to wait for the movie. I have a movie coming out. I need the ratings."

This isn't the first time Wendy has publicly spoken of her past relationship with Eric B. In 1999, she admitted to being his side chick.

"Of course he had other women... I was still on top of my game in the radio career," she said. "I was making decent money... It wasn't like I was some scrub... I only took his pager number because that's all he would give me, so obviously he's cheating... Although we used to have good times together and go out on some great dates and stuff, a lot of his visits were like after two o'clock in the morning. I would just accept it because the rappers in the studio... but I know that they use that a lot in terms of cheating."
