Tara Wallace can already envision the collective side-eyes. The Love & Hip Hop: New York star is well aware that you are having trouble getting pass the volatile, explosive, and at times absurd love triangle involving her, veteran ‘90s rapper Peter Gunz and up and coming singer Amina Buddafly. Yes, she understands all of the criticism. How could Tara be expecting her third child with Gunz, a married man who has publicly gone back and forth about his feelings for his wife Amina?

Does it at all bother Tara when she’s lobbed with criticism on social media from fans who charge that she is merely a selfish home wrecker who could have long stepped away from the relationship after discovering the revelation that Gunz had indeed put a ring on the finger of another woman?

In an exclusive interview with Enstars, Tara says she is not at all surprised with some of the scrutiny she has received over her relationship with the very married Gunz.

“Unfortunately it takes people who have gone through situations like this to understand that there is more to the story,” she says. “You have people that have never gone through anything like this. They can’t relate to waking up with a camera in their face and finding out along with everyone watching the show that Peter is married.”

Tara cryptically adds that not everything isn’t what it seems. “For those people who say this and that about me, they have to just stay patient and know that there is more to the story that has been shown thus far,” she answers. “Hopefully through this interview people will gain a better understanding of that.”

And what of Amina, the other woman who in a previous episode of Love & Hip Hop: New York sobbed uncontrollably upon hearing that Tara once again was pregnant with Peter’s baby making the entire affair worthy of a Tele Novella? Tara, despite her on-air battles with Gunz’ other half keeps it diplomatic, but she remains defiant. She says she is not walking away from her relationship with Peter to appease Amina.

“I’m not going to bash her (Amina),” she says. “We all have a responsibility to either stay or walk away. I didn’t expect to end up having another child [with Peter] out of it. But those feelings are not going to go away. You can run away from them; you can move out of the house…you may not even want to try to work it out or move back in.”

Tara pauses and admits: “But I still have feelings for Peter. And unfortunately, I have the right to explore those feelings. This is a person that I’ve spent a lot of years with. I don’t have to up and walk away from our relationship just to make someone else happy.”

Tara is set to release her book, The Goddess Potential, this upcoming spring detailing what she describes as her inner journey from taking the bold risk of moving from Mississippi to New York to pursue an acting career to all the drama she has endured with her stormy relationship with Peter Gunz and coping with her newfound fame from Love & Hip Hop.

“This book is about real life,” Tara explains of the upcoming page turner. “It’s about finding yourself after all of these things have gone wrong in life. That’s how I found myself.”

[UPDATE: Tara had her baby (and Peter Gun's) over the weekend. The baby is a boy, name Gunner Ethan Pankey. Born on February 13th at 1:25 AM. 6lbs, 15 oz.]
