“Marriage Boot Camp: Reality Stars” Psychiatrist Delivers His Verdict On Celebrity Couples
Dr. Ish’s job on “Marriage Boot Camp: Reality Stars” is to help famous couples work through major problems rocking their relationships.
The psychiatrist, one of two in-house doctors on the reality show, said he was dealing with a lot of couples issues this season, but there was one pair who stuck out for their level of dysfunction.
“If I had to pick, I would say Peter and Amina,” Dr. Ish told us. “Peter married Amina at 11 o’clock in the morning, and he went home to Tara’s house that night. It’s like, ‘Ok, what are we doing?’ Where they do that at Peter? But it immediately became obvious that Gunz is who he is. And he tells you that on day one…But my thing is Amina, you can say no.”
Dr. Ish said he and fellow show Dr. V worked with Amina until the very last day to get her to realize that she deserved more from Peter and doesn’t have to play second fiddle. But Dr. Ish said there were more deep-seated issues that led to their relationship woes.
She said “my dad cheated on my mom and I could never say no to him,” Dr. Ish recalled. “Amina said she would sit next to him for eight or ten hours while he did his thing. So she got used to being second, and not putting her needs first…It was really hard getting her to realize that it wasn’t about Peter making a choice, it’s about you setting the expectation of what you stand for.”

Despite the couples’ problems, which included infidelity, neglect, verbal abuse and fighting dirty, Dr. Ish said that he hoped viewers would take away the fact that a partner will not change for you, but you also have the right to choose the terms of your relationship and not settle.
“Judge Toler says it all the time,” he said. “You get the person you pick, not the person they could be. It ain’t about who they could be it’s about who that person is sitting right there, and that’s who we have to deal with.”
He added: “Amina’s thing is ‘Is Peter gonna change for me?’ Asifa’s think is ‘is Bobby change for me?’ No a man is never going to change for you, but if you grow together, you can change with them. You can change together. But we are who we are.”

“It’s hard to find the one, but it’s 10 times harder to let go of the person you thought was the one,” he said. “That’s kind of where they were. He was a kid, so young, and this was his first heartbreak, and he wanted to see if there was a way – and she was like, ‘there is no way.'”

Bobby and Asifa
“They got married six months in, and then they got divorced a year after that, and then there’s been eight years, these knuckleheads have been breaking up and getting back together 40 times! 40 times! Asifa has a thing where if she gets on something, she can’t let it go. And other than that Bobby loves her to death. And he keeps showing up saying you fixed it yet? Nope? I’m gonna go. They just keep dancing that dance.”

JJ and Juelia
“That was just heartbreaking. Both of them are gun shy for a really good reason…(JJ writing that critical letter to Juelia) was like the meanest ninth grade letter that a boy would write to a girl. It was passive aggressive. I told JJ, I said you don’t have to say yes…They felt like there was this pressure to do it, and that was his way out. I’ll drop this bomb early so I can sneak out the back door.”
