<p>If you were hoping to snatch Karrueche Tran off the market in 2022, think again! The model and actress told Instagram users on Saturday she&#8217;s going on a special diet next year. Apparently, that diet includes &#8220;cutting men&#8221; out of it. And it looks like her half-sentence, diet reference caused some frenzy. She later explained her comment on-camera in a series of Instagram Story posts.</p>
<p>Following the one-liner post, Karrueche clarified that she doesn&#8217;t &#8220;hate men.&#8221; She also said she&#8217;s not &#8220;getting done dirty by some dude&#8221; &#8212; alluding that her post has nothing to do with<a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/victor-cruz-and-karrueche-tran-have-reportedly-split-after-3-years/"> heartbreak</a>. Instead, she spoke on the power of being single.</p>
<p>&#8220;I just feel that there&#8217;s so much power in being alone, being content with being alone, and not being dependant on a man for validation or to feel good about myself or to feel fulfilled,&#8221; Karrueche said.</p>

<p>Wearing a forest green top and slicked back hairstyle, the actress admitted sometimes she does bask in the glory of having a man. Karrueche said she sometimes &#8220;loves the attention from them.&#8221; Still, her point stands.</p>
<p>&#8220;&#8230;And sometimes I do feel that way and I do love the attention from men, but it&#8217;s also unnecessary and also, men are a distraction,&#8221; Karrueche said with a slight smirk and stifled laugh.</p>
<p>She lightly apologized for the comment saying, &#8220;sorry I hate to say it.&#8221; Nonetheless, she pushes on with her point. Karrueche makes it crystal that she doesn&#8217;t need any distractions in 2022.</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m really trying to take my whole life to another level,&#8221; Karrueche said. &#8220;Mentally, physically, my career. Just all of that. So, it&#8217;s just a little detox.&#8221;</p>
<p>The &#8216;Claws&#8217; star wrapped up explaining her dating goals with a selfie captioned, &#8220;let&#8217;s see how long I last lmao.&#8221;</p>
<p>Karrueche&#8217;s desire to pivot completely into work isn&#8217;t surprising given her decorated success this year. In July, she became the first AAPI (Asian American &; Pacific Islander) lead actress to <a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/karrueche-tran-wins-a-daytime-emmy-for-outstanding-performance-by-a-lead-actress-in-a-daytime-fiction-program/">win a Daytime Emmy Award.</a> She secured the 2021 win with her role as Vivian Johnson on the series &#8216;The Bay.&#8217;</p>
