Dr. Cheyenne Bryant Claps Back
The doctorate controversy began when the life coach made comments questioning the necessity of licensing. She authored the book ‘Live Your Promise: Escape Your Wilderness, Heal Your Pain, So You Can Manifest the Life You Want’ and claims to be a doctor and a psychology expert.
However, she admitted that she does not have an active clinical therapy license, and she refused to show proof of her doctorate degree. In addition, she told The Breakfast Club that she completed the doctoral program at Argosy University, but the school permanently shut down in 2019, and Dr. Bryant (allegedly) claimed that she could no longer access her records.
Fans dragged Bryant over her use of the word “doctor.” Now, in response, Bryant joined the Netflix trend where people make parody videos of the streamer’s dramatic documentaries.
The author shared a video on Instagram of her putting on her alleged doctoral academic regalia with the caption, “Netflix US Your favorite Doc is ready! 🎥👩🏽🎓🤏🏾 #DrCheyenneBryant #Netflix.”
Text over the video read, “When Netflix does a documentary on Dr. Cheyenne Bryant, Episode 1 will ask, ‘Is she really a doctor?’ Episodes 2- 10 will investigate why complete jealous envious haters tried to prove she wasn’t.”
Netflix Trend Video Prompts More Controversy
If Bryant sought to end the drama over whether or not she holds a doctorate degree with her video, she did not succeed. After the video was shared on the TSR Instagram page, the Roomies reacted.
User @drnikkiamcclain wrote, “Notice how no university name is stitched on that regalia!🥴.”
@gottakeepkool_ joked, “Who let her borrow that? 😂.”
Dr. Bryant Claimed She Doesn’t Need Proof
During an interview on the FOX5 program ‘The Marissa Mitchell Show,’ Bryant said she doesn’t need to show proof.
“I’ve earned the title, I have multiple degrees and I’m not going to prove anything to anybody and we’re going to leave it just as that,“ she said. “My proof is already in my credentials. My degrees and also more than just my titles, it’s in how effective I’ve been… Standing by it because I earned it, absolutely.”
