Melina Goransson recounted the emotional toll she endured during the controversy:
“That whole thing… it was like 2022, it was probably like the worst months of my life because I got… I didn’t know about it. That’s the thing. Like, I could feel, I could sense something, but I got told that I was crazy and that… what I felt was wrong.”
She also detailed her experiences in therapy with Destiny, claiming that he misled their therapist during their sessions.
“I think we went to therapy, and he also lied to the therapist. So, the therapist was like, ‘Oh, okay.’ Like, you know? It was like just like, ‘What the f**k are we doing here?’”
According to Melina, Destiny publicly affirmed his commitment to the relationship during this time while engaging in alleged deceptive behavior behind the scenes.

She suggested that the situation could be pieced together easily by observers, adding that the events were self-explanatory.
Destiny’s Silence
As of now, Destiny has not responded to the allegations regarding his relationship with Southern. While Melina’s statements offer a glimpse into her perspective, the full context of the alleged affair and its impact on their relationship remains unclear.
