I FEEL LIKE IT'S REALLY

ABOUT YOUR EGO.

MY EGO?

I'M FIXIN' TO GO OVER

TO ERICA'S HOUSE, YOU KNOW,

HER NEW HOUSE--YOU FEEL ME--

THAT SHE GOT.

AND SHE SAID WE NEEDED

TO TALK ABOUT SOMETHING,

SO I WANT TO SEE WHAT

SHE WANT TO TALK ABOUT,

WHAT SHE WANT TO CHAT ABOUT.

DO YOU FEEL ME?

I JUST, YOU KNOW--

JUST WANT TO CLEAR THE AIR

SO IT'S CLEAR THAT, YOU KNOW,

I THINK WE SHOULD JUST BE COOL.

ALL I WANT US TO DO

IS JUST BE GREAT PARENTS

TO EMANI.

I KNOW YOU LOVE HER.

YOU A GREAT FATHER TO HER.

AND AT THIS POINT,

THAT'S ALL I JUST ASK FROM YOU.

AS FAR AS TRUST AND LOYALTY,

I CAN'T GET THAT FROM YOU.

I CAN'T GIVE YOU LOYALTY?

MM-MM.

I CAN'T GIVE YOU LOYALTY?

YOU KNOW, YOUR WHOLE

LITTLE FRIEND SITUATION,

OR, YOU KNOW, YOU'RE LIKE,

"OH, THAT'S MY FRIEND.

BEEN MY HOMEY" AND THIS AND THAT

"FOR YEARS."

AND I JUST KIND OF FEEL LIKE--

I JUST DON'T--

I DON'T BELIEVE THAT.

SCRAPPY JUST WANTS

TO KICK IT

LIKE SHAY IS HIS FRIEND.

I'M NO FOOL.

I'M NOT AN IDIOT, BY FAR.

EVERYTHING ABOUT HER

READS WHAT?

SLUT BUCKET.

AT THE END OF THE DAY,

IF I HAVE EVER DID ANYTHING

TO YOU,

YOU KNOW, I REALLY APOLOGIZE.

I NEVER DID NOTHING

INTENTIONALLY, YOU FEEL ME?

NOW, I HAVE BEEN A [bleep].

YOU FEEL ME?

I HAVE BEEN A LITTLE WILD

IN MY YOUNGER DAYS.

I WISH GOD COULD SHOW YOU

HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU--

YOU FEEL ME--

AND SHOW ME HOW MUCH

YOU LOVE ME.

I LOVED YOU AS A PERSON,

BUT I JUST WASN'T

IN LOVE WITH YOU.

EVEN TO THIS DAY,

YOU LOVE ME,

BUT YOU'RE NOT IN LOVE WITH ME.

BUT AT THE SAME TIME,

I HAD STUFF WITH YOU TOO

THAT HURT MY HEART,

HURT MY FEELINGS.

I WANT THAT LOVE.

I DO WANT THAT LOVE.

BUT IF YOU CAN'T GIVE IT TO ME

AND YOU GONNA HOLD ON TO THAT,

THEN YOU RIGHT.

WE DO NEED TO CHILL--

YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING--

LIKE, 'CAUSE TWO BEASTS

AT EACH OTHER

WITH A LITTLE KID

IN THE MIDDLE AIN'T COOL.

AND I THINK WE SHOULD JUST

BE COOL, TAKE CARE OF OUR KID.

AND IF IT DO WORK SOMEDAY,

I'M DOWN WITH IT.

AT THE END OF THE DAY,

I LOVE YOU.

YOU KNOW, THAT JUST SOMETHING

THAT I WANTED, THOUGH,

A FAMILY UNIT, YOU FEEL ME?

AT LEAST WE THERE,

AND YOU--YOU KNOW...

YOU FEELING ME ON THIS, YEAH.

I DEFINITELY FEEL YOU.

* YOU'VE GOT ♪

♪ YOUR EYES ON ME

WHAT'S UP?

HOW YOU FEELIN'?

I'M GOOD.

YOU LOOK AMAZING.

ROSCOE DASH IS A KNOWN

ATL RAPPER.

AND, YOU KNOW, HE GOT SWAG.

HE'S GOT THAT JUICE.

HE GOT THAT VIBE.

HE'S HOT.

WHAT'S UP, THOUGH?

NOTHING.

I WANTED TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT,

YOU KNOW, DOING A SONG WITH ME.

WHAT YOU GOT IN MIND?

IT'S DEFINITELY GONNA BE

A CLUB BANGER.

AND SEXY.

YOU GOT THAT.

OH, IT HAS TO BE A SEXY SONG.

LOT OF SEXY.

BAM.

COME UP WITH A CRAZY

SEX SONG?

THAT SOUNDS LIKE

IT'S UP MY LANE.

I'M WITH THAT.

WE NEED SOME INSPIRATION NOW.

SO WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO

FOR INSPIRATION?

I DON'T KNOW.

IF THAT'S THE CASE,

I NEED TO BE INSPIRED TOO.

I GOT A LOT OF INSPIRATION.

YOU DO?

I'LL SHARE SOME.

I CAN SHARE SOME INSPIRATION

WITH YOU,

GET YOU INSPIRED REAL QUICK.

WHAT YOU THINK?

NO, NO.

WE GOT TO EASE INTO THAT.

WHY?

'CAUSE WE--

NO, WE GOT TO EASE INTO THAT.

YOU LIKE TO EASE, HUH?

[laughs]

I'M NOT EASY.

I TAKE IT AT EASE.

OH.

OKAY.

THAT'S THE FIRST TIME I EVER

HEARD ANYBODY SAY THAT BEFORE.

SEE?

YEP, YOU GET SOME POINTS

FOR THAT.

TOAST TO THAT.

WE'LL TOAST TO THAT.

I THINK ROSCOE DASH IS--

HE'S SEXY.

HE'S FINE.

AND THERE'S NOTHING WRONG

WITH FLIRTING.

YOU GOT A MAN?

I AM SEEING SOMEONE.

YOU ARE?

YEAH, BUT IT'S COMPLICATED.

IT'S...

MY SITUATION SAYS

I TALK ABOUT MY CAREER TOO MUCH.

YOUR SITUATION?

YOU SHOULD NEVER HAVE TO CALL

YOUR SITUATION A "SITUATION."

SO THAT'S ALREADY--

THAT'S ALREADY NEGATIVE POINTS

ALREADY.

[laughs]

BENZINO BEEN ACTING

REAL CRAZY LATELY;

JEALOUS, OBSESSIVE, POSSESSIVE,

TEMPO ON TEN.

EVEN THOUGH I STILL CARE

ABOUT HIM, I NEED TO KEEP

MY OPTIONS OPEN.

WHAT'S THAT LOOK MEAN?

NOTHING.

"NOTHING," AS IN IT'S

TOO SOON TO TELL ME,

OR "NOTHING" AS IN

"IT'S NOTHING"?

TOO SOON TO TELL.

YOU GONNA GET YOURSELF

IN TROUBLE.

GET MYSELF IN TROUBLE

LIKE HOW?

WITH YOUR

COMPLICATED SITUATION.

MIMI, JOSELINE,

THANK YOU FOR JOINING ME

IN THE OFFICE.

IN THE LAST THERAPY SESSION,

I DIDN'T GET A CHANCE

TO EVEN HEAR WHAT JOSELINE

HAD TO SAY.

SHE WAS TOO BUSY PUNCHING STEVIE

UPSIDE HIS HEAD.

I WANTED TO HEAR WHAT THE BITCH

HAD TO SAY.

THAT'S WHY I WENT BACK.

STEVIE, HOW ARE YOU?

GOOD TO SEE YOU.

GOOD TO SEE YOU TOO.

I WANT EVERYBODY HAPPY.

I WANT TO HAVE A RELATIONSHIP

WITH MIMI.

AND I WANT TO HAVE A GREAT

WORKING RELATIONSHIP

WITH JOSELINE.

SO IF IT TAKES FOR Y'ALL

TO GANG UP ON ME TO HAVE

A SMILE ON YOUR FACE,

GANG UP ON ME.

BUT I GOT THE PASSES

FOR THE BUS.

STEVIE, YOU GOT

THE GOD SHIRT ON, OKAY,

BECAUSE, ACTUALLY,

YOU HAVE POWER

OVER THESE WOMEN,

RIGHT?

HE FEELS HE CAN HAVE YOU BOTH.

GIRL, HE LOVE IT, GIRL.

NO, IT'S NOT EVEN THAT.

SWITCH SEATS, 'CAUSE HE'S

ABOUT TO START LYING,

AND I WANT TO KNOCK HIM

IN HIS [bleep].

SO PLEASE GO OVER THERE,

LIKE, FOR REAL.

YO.

"I AM GOD"?

MIMI, HE WANT TO HAVE SEX

WITH YOU.

HE WANT TO HAVE SEX WITH ME.

AND HE WANT TO DO

WHAT HE WANTS TO DO.

STEVIE, THAT'S NOT--

THAT'S NOT GONNA HAPPEN.

I'M NOT GONNA SIT HERE

AND TELL YOU,

"YOU HAVE TO MAKE A CHOICE."

NO, YOU'VE MADE YOUR CHOICE.

WHAT CHOICE DO YOU THINK

HE'S MADE?

HE NOT HOME WITH ME.

THEY GO TO THE STRIP CLUB,

HANG OUT, AND DO THIS AND THAT.

YOU CHOOSE TO HANG OUT

AND DO THINGS WITH HER.

WE GO TO THE CLUB.

WHAT'S WRONG WITH THAT?

THAT'S WHAT--THAT'S WHAT--

THAT'S WHAT WE DO.

YOU DON'T SEE ANYTHING

WRONG WITH THAT...

GIRL, YOU CAN HANG OUT

WITH US IF YOU WANT TO.

I'M NOT TRIPPING.

LIKE, I'M SAYING--

AND THIS IS NOT BEING FUNNY,

MIMI.

I'M GOOD, JOSELINE.

YOU CAN HANG OUT WITH STEVIE

ALL YOU WANT.

YOU'RE THE FLAVOR OF THE MOMENT.

'CAUSE THERE WILL BE ANOTHER YOU

AND ANOTHER YOU.

LOOK, STEVIE'S

GONNA BE STEVIE.

HE'S GONNA HAVE SEX WITH ANYBODY

HE'S GONNA HAVE SEX WITH.

HE'S GONNA CHEAT.

HE'S GONNA LIE.

HE'S GONNA DO IT.

THAT'S JUST WHAT STEVIE DOES.

SO IT'S NOT AN ISSUE FOR YOU

WITH HIM HAVING OTHER LOVERS?

HE CAN DO WHAT HE WANT TO DO,

'CAUSE YOU KNOW WHY?

AT THE END OF THE DAY,

AS LONG AS YOU TAKE CARE OF ME

AND GIVE ME MY MONEY

AND MAKE SURE I BE

WHERE I NEED TO BE AT

AS FAR AS MY CAREER GOES,

YOU CAN DO WHAT YOU WANT.

GIRL, HE HAD SEX WITH MY

BEST FRIEND IN MY OWN BED.

WERE YOU THERE?

OF COURSE I WAS THERE.

I WAS WATCHING.

'CAUSE, YOU KNOW, HE KNOWS

I LIKE GIRLS TOO.

THERE IS A REALITY

TO WHAT JOSELINE IS SAYING.

SHE'S SAYING, "YOU KNOW WHAT?

I JUST TAKE HIM THE WAY HE IS."

AND IT'S OBVIOUS.

AND SHE'S TAKING HIM

THE WAY HE IS TOO, 'CAUSE SHE--

NO, I'M NOT.

I'M NOT TAKING ANYTHING.

YES, YOU DO, MIMI.

YOU'VE BEEN AROUND FOR 15 YEARS.

THIS IS THE REALITY.

HE IS NOT GOING TO CHANGE.

THE TWO OF YOU HAVE TO TAKE

CONTROL OVER YOUR OWN LIVES.

I'M COOL, THOUGH.

I'M NOT--

OKAY.

I'M NOT FIGHTING NO MORE.

ALL RIGHT, HOW DO YOU

TAKE CONTROL--

ARE WE DONE?

HOLD ON, STEVIE.

HOW DO YOU TAKE CONTROL

OF YOUR OWN LIVES?

THEY CAN TAKE CONTROL

OVER THEIR OWN LIVES

IF THEY WANT TO.

THEY COOL.

THEY GOOD.

THEY CAN TAKE CONTROL

OVER THEIR LIVES.

IT'S STILL MY BUS.

IT'S STILL MY GAS.

IT'S STILL MY AIR ON THE BUS.

SO...

WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?

I CREATE THE OPPORTUNITIES

FOR THE LADIES;

FOR THEM TO GET MONEY,

FOR THEM TO GET RECOGNITION,

FOR THEM TO GET FAMOUS.

THAT'S ALL THE GOOD GUY.

THAT'S ALL ME.

IT'S MY BUS.

GET WITH THE PROGRAM

OR I'M GONNA HAVE

TO LEAVE YOU IN THE DESERT.

I'M RUNNING THIS [bleep].

IT'S LIKE, IT'S ONE OF THE

HARDEST DECISIONS I'VE EVER MADE

RIGHT NOW.

IT'S LIKE, IT'S WEIGHING ON ME.

I JUST DON'T WANT TO BE

NO SUCKER,

YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING?

YOU AIN'T THE ONLY ONE

THAT CAN BE HURT, BOO.

YOU PLAYING WITH ME NOW

JUST LIKE THIS BITCH

WAS PLAYING WITH YOU.

I'M JUST NOT

DOING THIS ANYMORE.

NOT DOING STEVIE.

JUST SAY YOU DON'T WANT

TO BE WITH ME.

I DON'T WANT TO BE

IN A RELATIONSHIP WITH YOU

ANYMORE.

I'M DONE.

HI, LOVE.

HELLO.

WHEN I TOLD ARIANE

I WAS AT ANOTHER THERAPY SESSION

WITH STEVIE AND JOSELINE,

SHE HAD A REAL HARD TIME

BELIEVING IT.

AREN'T YOU SICK OF THAT

[bleep], THOUGH?

FIXING IT?

FIX WHAT?

WHO SAID I WAS TRYING

TO FIX ANYTHING?

THE REASON FOR THAT SESSION

WAS FOR ME TO FEEL COMFORTABLE

WITH HIM WORKING WITH HER.

OKAY.

CLEARLY, THAT'S NEVER

GONNA HAPPEN.

WAIT, THE KILLER:

HE CAME IN THERE WITH AN

"I AM GOD" T-SHIRT ON.

HE REALLY HAS AN ISSUE.

THIS DUDE HAS LOST HIS MIND.

AT ONE POINT DURING

THE COUNSELING SESSION,

WHEN HE WAS TALKING ABOUT BOTH

OF US WAS "RIDING HIS BUS"--

HE SEEMS TO THINK THAT

OLD GIRL AND I

ARE RIDING OFF HIS COATTAILS

OF HIS "CELEBRITY,"

LIKE, YOU KNOW--HE KEEPS--

WHAT CELEBRITY, THOUGH?

WHAT CELEBRITY?

I'M JUST TELLING YOU

WHAT HE'S SAYING.

YOU KNOW, "DON'T FORGET

WHO PUT YOU ON" AND THIS,

THAT, AND THE THIRD.

AND I'M LIKE,

"REALLY?

I WAS MADE BEFORE I MET YOU.

LET'S NOT PLAY THOSE GAMES."

BITCH.

I'M LOOKING AT MYSELF CRAZY.

WHAT'S WRONG WITH ME

THAT I'M ALLOWING THIS MAN

TO DO THIS TO ME AND TELL ME,

YOU KNOW, "I DID THIS AND THAT

FOR YOU"?

A REAL MAN WHO LOVED HIS WOMAN

WOULD NEVER DO THAT,

EVER.

THAT'S HOW I KNOW THAT IT AIN'T

NOTHING WHAT I THOUGHT.

IT WAS ALL SMOKE AND MIRRORS.

WHEN YOU'RE BEING LIED TO

AND YOU'RE IN THIS PIGEONHOLE

OF A BUBBLE OF WHAT YOU THOUGHT

WAS YOUR LIFE,

WHEN THAT BUBBLE IS BUST

AND YOU CAN SEE THINGS CLEARLY,

IT MAKES ALL THE DIFFERENCE.

WHAT'S YOUR PLAN, THOUGH?

I'M NOT SITTING AROUND,

WAITING ON HIM.

I'VE GOT MY CLIENTS.

I'VE GOT...

HALLELUJAH.

YOU KNOW, CONTRACTS.

I'M DOING THE THINGS

AND TAKING THE STEPS

TO HAVE MY SITUATION--

ABOUT [bleep] TIME.

WHAT PEOPLE DON'T KNOW

ABOUT ME IS, I HAVE A CLEANING

SERVICE, AND I'VE HAD IT

FOR 11 YEARS.

IT'S CALLED "KEEP IT CLEAN."

I WORK FOR CELEBRITY CLIENTS.

I DO RESIDENTIAL

AND COMMERCIAL PROPERTY.

THIS IS WHAT I DO.

I DON'T NEED STEVIE'S MONEY;

NEVER HAVE, AND I NEVER WILL.

HE FELT LIKE THE BABY

WAS GONNA STOP EVERYTHING.

LIKE, ONCE YOU HAD THE BABY,

YOU WEREN'T GONNA DO

[bleep] ELSE.

BUT, "OH, I'M GONNA STICK

TO EVA AND STEVIE.

EVA AND STEVIE,

EVA AND STEVIE."

REALLY?

ABSO-[bleep]-LUTELY.

AND YOU'D BE A FOOL

TO NOT THINK THE SAME THING.

WELL, GUESS WHAT.

I'M BACK, OKAY?

HOW ABOUT THAT?

I'M BACK.

I AM ABSOLUTELY DIGGING

MIMI'S NEW ATTITUDE.

IT'S ABOUT [bleep] TIME

THAT MIMI WOKE UP

AND SMELLED THE COFFEE.

HIGH FIVE AT SMOKE AND MIRRORS.

HIGH FIVE.

WHOA.

AFTER ME AND ERICA

DECIDED TO CALL IT QUITS,

YOU KNOW, I JUST HAD TO GO

HOLLER AT THE HOMEY,

SHIZ-NY-EE, SHAY,

SO I CAN LET HER KNOW

THAT IT'S REALLY, REALLY

O.V. BETWEEN ME AND ERICA.

DO YOU FEEL ME?

SHAY-SHAY.

AND I THINK I OWE HER

SOME REAL SPIT

SINCE SHE ALWAYS DONE BEEN

SUPPORTIVE OF ME, YOU KNOW.

JUST LET HER KNOW THE REAL.

I HAD A CONVERSATION

WITH MY BABY MAMA, ERICA--

YOU FEEL ME--

TO THE POINT WHERE I REALLY WAS,

YOU KNOW, THINKING ABOUT,

YOU KNOW, JUST GETTING

BACK WITH HER.

YOU FEEL ME?

WAIT, WAIT, WAIT, WAIT, WAIT.

YOU CAN'T FLIP-FLOP

BETWEEN ME AND THAT.

I ASKED YOU IF THAT WAS OVER,

AND YOU TOLD ME THAT WAS OVER.

IT IS.

YOU JUST VOUCHED OVER THERE.

YOU DISAPPEARED ON ME

FOR A WEEK.

I MEAN, I LOVE THE GIRL.

OKAY, THEN WHY WON'T

YOU BE WITH HER THEN?

I WANTED TO BE WITH HER--

YOU FEEL ME--BUT IT JUST--

WE JUST TWO PEOPLE THAT--

LIKE, WE WOULD LIKE FOR IT

TO HAPPEN, BUT IT AIN'T

GONNA HAPPEN--

YOU FEEL ME--

'CAUSE WE JUST SO FAR OFF

FROM EACH OTHER.

YOU FEEL ME?

YOU [bleep] UP.

YOU [bleep] UP REAL BAD

RIGHT NOW.

WELL, THAT AIN'T EVEN

MY INTENTIONS, GIRL.

IT DON'T MATTER

WHAT YOUR INTENTIONS IS.

I'M SUPPOSED TO BE YOUR FRIEND.

AND WE'RE SUPPOSED TO HAVE

AN HONEST COMMUNICATION.

YOU JUST BROKE THAT.

WE HAVE A GREAT COMMUNICATION,

SO I THOUGHT,

BUT AT THIS POINT,

I SEE A LOT OF LIES,

AND THERE'S A MISCOMMUNICATION,

AND I'M NOT WITH IT.

SO HE EITHER NEED

TO COME CORRECT

AND FIGURE THIS OUT

OR IT'S ABOUT TO BE A PROBLEM.

HOW YOU REALLY FEEL ABOUT ME?

I LOVE YOU.

YOU FEEL ME?

AND--

YEAH, YOU SHOWING THAT

BY WHAT YOU'RE DOING.

YOUR ACTIONS--WHAT YOU JUST DID

WAS LOVE?

WELL, I'LL PUT IT LIKE THIS.

LIKE, IT AIN'T EVEN, LIKE,

TRYING TO HURT NOBODY FEELINGS

OR NOTHING LIKE THAT--

WHAT YOU THINK THIS IS?

YOU THINK I'M GOOD RIGHT NOW?

YOU THINK YOU'RE SWEET?

MY THIRD EYE IS SO OPEN

ON YOUR ASS RIGHT NOW.

YOU AIN'T THE ONLY ONE

THAT CAN BE HURT, BOO.

AND THAT [bleep]

THAT HAPPENED IN THE PAST;

YOU CAN'T BRING THAT [bleep]

INTO WHAT WE GOT RIGHT HERE.

YOU PLAYING WITH ME NOW

JUST LIKE THIS BITCH

WAS PLAYING WITH YOU.

AT THE END OF THE DAY,

I TOLD YOU I LOVE YOU.

I WOULD LIKE TO SEE, YOU KNOW,

WHAT WE COULD DO

AND TRY AND JUMP OFF THE CLIFF

WITH IT, 'CAUSE I DON'T

WANT TO SEE YOU HURTIN'.

YOU FEEL ME?

AND I DON'T WANT TO BE HURTIN'.

YOU HURT MY LITTLE FEELINGS.

IT'S COOL.

I'LL BOUNCE BACK.

I ALWAYS DO.

BUT YOU HURT MY LITTLE FEELINGS.

AND...

I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT TO SAY,

YOU KNOW?

I'M DEFINITELY SORRY.

I DEFINITELY DIDN'T MEAN

TO HURT YOUR FEELINGS.

YOU FEEL ME?

I DEFINITELY DIDN'T MEAN

TO HURT YOUR FEELINGS.

8:00'S GOOD?

YEAH, 8:00'S COOL.

YEAH, 8:00.

AND MAKE SURE THAT

HE HAS A STYLIST, PLEASE.

ALL RIGHT?

YO.

WHAT'S GOOD, FELLAS?

HEY, WHAT UP?

HEY.

ALL RIGHT.

WHAT UP, Z?

KARLIE AND Z,

THEY'RE HEADED TOWARD

THE CHAPEL RIGHT NOW.

I'M A LITTLE NERVOUS NOW,

'CAUSE I DON'T WANT TO SEE HIM

BACKTRACK OR GO THROUGH

NO EXTRA DRAMA TO SET HIM BACK.

WE MOVING UP.

WE MOVING FORWARD.

WHAT'S GOOD WITH YOU, MY G?

THINGS GOOD,

YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING?

JUST BEEN CONTEMPLATING,

YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING?

CONTEMPLATING WHAT?

YOU KNOW,

ABOUT LITTLE MAMA.

THE THING THING?

THE THING THING.

I GOT A BIG DECISION TO MAKE;

WHETHER OR NOT TO GIVE

KARLIE THE RING

AND TAKE OUR RELATIONSHIP

TO THE NEXT LEVEL

OR JUST MOVE ON.

I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE

I'M ON THE RIGHT PAGE,

'CAUSE, LIKE, WHEN YOU DO THIS,

YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING,

YOU GOT TO DO THIS FOR GOOD.

THERE AIN'T NO TURNING BACK.

AND I WANT TO MAKE IT HAPPEN.

I JUST DON'T WANT TO BE

NO SUCKER, YOU KNOW

WHAT I'M SAYING?

IT'S LIKE, NOW IS JUST--

I DON'T KNOW, MAN.

IT'S JUST...

I'M SEEING LITTLE THINGS

THAT'S KIND OF, LIKE, MAKING ME,

LIKE--

LIKE LITTLE THINGS LIKE WHAT?

IT CAN'T BE NOTHING

THAT SERIOUS--

IT'S THE TRUST.

OH, WHOA, THE "T" WORD.

AND I DON'T WANT TO COME OFF

AS THE JEALOUS GUY,

BUT IT'S LIKE EVERY TIME SHE--

YOU KNOW, SHE WANTS TO GO

TO THE STUDIO, LATE NIGHTS.

SHE DON'T CALL.

THEN SHE'LL JUST COME BACK,

YOU KNOW, THE NEXT DAY.

AND I--AND I MEAN, I JUST--

I DON'T WANT TO GO THROUGH THAT.

I BOUGHT THE RING, YOU KNOW?

I HAVE EVERY INTENTIONS

ON WANTING TO BE WITH THIS WOMAN

FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE.

BUT THEN, WHAT IF, YOU KNOW,

SHE'S PLAYING ME?

I'VE BEEN HEARING STUFF ABOUT

HER WITH OTHER GUYS,

GOING ON DATES.

AND IT WAS JUST ALL

RACING THROUGH MY HEAD

AT ONE TIME.

I DON'T KNOW, MAN.

I JUST--YOU KNOW, EVERYTHING--

LISTEN, MAN.

YOU A MADE GUY, MAN.

YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING?

AND THERE'S A TON OF WOMEN

OUT HERE WHO WANT A MADE GUY

AND A GOOD GUY.

HOLD ON, HOLD ON, Z.

YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING?

YOU DESERVE NOTHING

BUT THE BEST, BRO.

YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING?

AND THAT'S THAT.

AND IF I FIND OUT SHE'S DOING

ANYTHING CRAZY, MAN,

SHE GONNA HAVE TO DEAL

WITH THAT, MAN.

YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING?

IT'S LIKE, IT'S ONE OF THE

HARDEST DECISIONS, YOU KNOW,

I'VE EVER MADE RIGHT NOW.

AND IT'S LIKE,

IT'S WEIGHING ON ME.

WHEREVER MY HEART TAKES ME,

THAT'S WHERE I'M GONNA GO.

IS HE A RAPPER?

NO, HE'S AN ITALIAN.

WAIT, WAIT, WAIT, WAIT, WAIT.

HE'S A WHITE MAN?

YES, K., AND THE BODY IS,

MM, SOMETHING SO SERIOUS.

I'M NOT GONNA BE RAN UP

OUT OF ATLANTA.

I'M GONNA SAY WHAT THE [bleep]

I WANT TO SAY,

'CAUSE YOU KNOW WHAT?

I'M MOTHER[bleep] HURT.

NO MORE TEARS.

I HAVEN'T SEEN STEVIE

SINCE THE THERAPY SESSION.

I'M NOT MAD AT HIM,

BUT I DON'T THINK THAT THE

THERAPY HAS RESOLVED ANYTHING.

SO WHEN STEVIE CALLED,

I WAS LIKE, "BITCH, LOOK,

JUST GIVE ME THAT SEX

WHEN I WANT IT.

LET'S MAKE SOME MONEY TOGETHER.

AND WE CAN BE FRIENDS."

I STILL CARE,

YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING?

WE--PLEASE.

IT'S OKAY.

YOU DON'T NO LONGER

HAVE TO LIE TO ME.

I'M OKAY.

YOU DON'T THINK I CARE?

I JUST WANT TO GET TO WORK.

YOU DON'T THINK I WANT

WHAT'S BEST FOR YOU?

YOU KNOW WHAT I WANT YOU

TO CARE ABOUT RIGHT NOW

IS MY BUSINESS.

YOU'RE MAKING THIS [bleep]

HAPPEN LIKE YOU SAY YOU WAS

GONNA DO, AND YOU'RE DOING

WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO.

BUT THE THING IS,

I'M NOT THAT SAME PERSON.

THAT'S ALL I WANT YOU TO KNOW.

SO IT'S LIKE,

I THOUGHT THAT, YOU KNOW--

I THOUGHT THAT I WAS

IN LOVE WITH YOU,

AND I THOUGHT THAT I, YOU KNOW,

EVERYTHING WAS ABOUT STEVIE.

BUT EVERYTHING IS NOT--

YOU THOUGHT YOU WAS?

YEAH, I THOUGHT

I WAS IN LOVE WITH YOU.

IT WAS ALL A MIRAGE?

IT WASN'T REAL?

I MEAN, IT COULDN'T BE REAL

BECAUSE YOUR PART OF THE END

WASN'T REAL.

SO HOW COULD IT BE REAL

ON MY PART?

I WAS NEVER REALLY IN LOVE

WITH STEVIE NOW THAT I

GO BACK AND SEE EVERYTHING

THAT HAPPENED.

I WAS MORE IN LOVE WITH HIS IDEA

OF HIS DREAMS, YOU KNOW,

HIS WORK ETHICS.

I WAS IN LOVE WITH THAT PERSON

BUT NOT THAT ACTUAL STEVIE,

'CAUSE HE CAN BE AN ASS[bleep].

I'M AT A POINT IN MY LIFE

WHERE I LEARNED A LOT

ABOUT MYSELF.

I DON'T WANT TO BE LIED TO.

I DON'T WANT TO BE CHEATED ON.

IF I--WHENEVER I DO

GET ME A MAN, HE'S GONNA BE

MY MAN AND ONLY MY MAN.

AND IF YOU'RE NOT HAPPY FOR ME,

THEN THAT'S COOL.

BUT I'M GONNA MAKE IT WITH YOU

OR WITHOUT YOU.

WELL, EH, YEAH, YEAH.

BUT THIS IS

A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT.

THIS IS NOT THE REGULAR

GUY [bleep] THAT GOES ON.

YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING?

YOU CAN'T WALK DOWN THE STREET

AND MEAN THIS [bleep]

AND BE LIKE, "YO,

GET ME TO BE SUCCESSFUL

IN A MONTH."

YES, YOU HELPED ME.

THANK YOU.

I APPRECIATE THAT.

BUT YOU GOT ENOUGH

CREDIT FOR IT.

NOW YOU NEED TO WORK FOR ME,

AND I NEED TO WORK FOR YOU,

AND LET'S MAKE THIS HAPPEN.

BUT THERE ARE RULES AND

REGULATIONS TO EVERY JOB

THAT YOU GET INTO.

IF YOU DON'T ABIDE BY

THE RULES OF THE JOB,

THEN SOMEBODY ELSE

CAN REPLACE YOU.

FORD HIRES AND FIRES EVERY DAY.

SO DO I.

YOU KNOW, THAT'S IT.

IT'S ALL ABOUT THAT BUSINESS.

HANDLE IT STRONG.

NEVER HANDLE IT WRONG.

RIGHT?

YOU ALREADY KNOW.

I'M GONNA DO WHAT I SAID

I WAS GONNA DO FOR YOU.

AND IT'S GONNA BE THE BEST

ARTIST THAT I CAN BE.

AND YOU GOT TO BE

THE BEST MANAGER

THAT YOU CAN BE TO ME.

AND THAT'S WHAT WE

PROMISED EACH OTHER BEFORE.

STEVIE'S ALWAYS

GONNA PLAY GAMES.

HE SAYS, "OH, YEAH, WE JUST

GONNA KEEP IT BUSINESS."

BUT GUESS WHAT.

HE ALWAYS FINDS HIS WAY

RIGHT AROUND

BACK TO JOSELINE HERNANDEZ

AND COME TRY TO GET

IN MY GOODIES.

TO THE BUSINESS.

I LIKE THIS BED.

I THINK THAT BED IS HOT.

AND YOU DON'T WANT THOSE OLD

SPIRITS ON THE BED, YOU KNOW,

'CAUSE THEY SAY THAT SPIRITS

HOP OFF LIKE, UH, BED BUGS.

NOW THAT I'VE GOT MY NEW

HOUSE, I ASKED K.

TO MEET WITH ME TO PICK OUT

SOME NEW FURNITURE.

AND I WANTED TO LET HER KNOW

THAT THERE'S NO MORE

ME AND SCRAPPY.

SO YOU MOVED OUT THE HOUSE?

MM-HMM.

YES, I'M OUT OF THERE, GONE.

WOW, THIS IS LIFE-CHANGING.

THIS IS DIFFERENT, HONEY.

YES, IT IS.

GIRL, YOU GOT YOUR NEW BED.

YOU GOT TO FIND YOU A MAN

TO BREAK THE BED IN, HONEY.

WELL...

I AM DATING SOMEONE.

YOU GOT ANOTHER MAN TOO?

NO, I DIDN'T SAY I HAD A MAN.

OH, I WAS LIKE, "HONEY,

I AIN'T TALK TO YOU"--

THERE IS A MAN

THAT I AM INTERESTED IN,

YOU KNOW?

IS HE A RAPPER?

NO.

GOOD.

HE'S MY REALTOR.

HE HELPED ME FIND THE HOUSE.

HE'S AN ITALIAN.

WAIT, WAIT, WAIT, WAIT, WAIT.

GIRL, HE'S A WHITE MAN?

YES, K., AND THE BODY IS,

MM, SOMETHING SO SERIOUS.

HOW HIS SAUSAGE?

OH, WE HAVEN'T

GOT THAT FAR, K.

RELAX.

I MEAN, I DIDN'T--

I WANT TO KNOW.

LIKE, YOU KNOW, THE LITTLE

RUMORS AND STUFF.

I WANT TO KNOW

WHAT IT LOOK LIKE,

WHAT IT'S DOING.

BABY STEPS FIRST, OKAY?

I NEED TO, YOU KNOW,

GET TO KNOW HIM.

SO YOU--

I HAVE TO BE ATTRACTED

TO SOMETHING ELSE, YOU KNOW--

OTHER THAN THE SAUSAGE.

OTHER THAN THAT.

YOU GOT TO AT LEAST GRAB IT.

'CAUSE THEN YOU SPENT

ALL THAT TIME,

AND THEN WHAT IF HIS SAUSAGE

IS MINIATURE?

CUP IT JUST TO SEE

WHAT'S GOING ON.

IT'S--IT'S REALLY--

IT'S TIME TO START OVER.

THIS IS, YOU KNOW,

MY FRESH START.

THAT'S REALLY DOPE, ERICA.

YOU DESERVE IT.

AND YOU'VE BEEN A GOOD PERSON.

YOU'VE BEEN A GREAT FRIEND.

AND, YOU KNOW, I'M PROUD OF YOU.

GREAT FRIENDS.

LET'S TALK ABOUT GREAT FRIENDS.

WHAT, K.?

AFTER Y'ALL CAME

TO THE SAVING OUR DAUGHTERS

EVENT OR WHATEVER,

I WENT AND SAT,

YOU KNOW, TO HAVE A REGULAR

CONVERSATION WITH RASHEEDA,

JUST A REGULAR--WHAT WE DO.

WE GO EAT, WHATEVER.

THIS THING LOOKS ME

IN MY EYEBALLS AND SAY,

WITH HER BAGS LIKE THIS,

"WELL, WHAT IF HE DIDN'T DO IT?"

AND HER REASONING BEHIND THIS

WAS, HE HER FRIEND.

AND HE'S COOL WITH HER.

WHEN THE MEDIA STARTS

COMING AT YOU

FOR BEING BOTH OF OUR FRIENDS,

YOU START BACKPEDALING.

WHAT THE [bleep] ARE WE IN,

SWEET VALLEY HIGH?

DO YOU REALLY THINK

THAT'S IT?

YEAH.

'CAUSE WE TALKED.

AND SHE PRETTY MUCH TOLD ME,

LIKE, "SHE'S IN A ROCK

AND A HARD PLACE."

NO.

NO, NO, NO, NO, NO.

YOU CAN BE CAUGHT BETWEEN

A ROCK AND A HARD PLACE.

BUT AS A WOMAN,

YOU SAY HOW YOU FEEL.

AS A GROWN WOMAN, YOU SAY--

WELL, SHE SAID SHE WAS GONNA

TALK TO YOU.

AND THAT'S WHEN I SAID--I SAID,

"WELL, JUST TALK TO HER."

NO, I DON'T NEED--

I DON'T NEED TO DO THIS.

K., LET'S BE AN ADULT.

PUT THOSE SHOULDERS BACK

AND GO AND SIT DOWN

AND TALK TO HER, OKAY?

IF THERE WAS ANY DOUBTS,

I WOULDN'T HAVE DID THAT.

ARE YOU READY?

I HAVE THINGS I HAVE TO DO.

I CANNOT ENTERTAIN

YOUR SHENANIGANS.

SLOW IT DOWN.

IT'S NO SHENANIGANS.

I'M OFFICIAL.

I'M PRETTY SURE IF YOU

[bleep] HIS [bleep],

HE WILL MAKE A TRACK.

SO GET TO [bleep].

YOU KNOW ME.

I GOT A HOT NEW ARTIST

BY THE NAME OF CHE MACK.

I'VE BEEN WORKING WITH HER

FOR A MINUTE.

AND I JUST FELT THE NEED

TO CALL JOSELINE DOWN

TO SEE IF THEY COULD VIBE

A LITTLE BIT, YOU KNOW,

IF WE CAN MAKE A HIT TOGETHER

WITH BOTH OF THEM.

I LIKE R&B.

I LIKE RAP.

I LIKE SOULFUL MUSIC,

EMBODIED MUSIC.

WHAT YOU GRABBING ON?

I'M JUST--

WATCH YOUR HANDS.

WHAT YOU GRABBING ON?

RELAX, BABY.

WHAT YOU GRABBING ON?

I WAS JUST LOOKING--

WHAT IS YOU GRABBING ON?

I WAS LOOKING--

WATCH YOUR HANDS.

HOLD UP, HOLD UP,

HOLD UP, HOLD UP.

ACT LIKE YOU KNOW.

WHEN I FIRST MET HIM,

HE PULLED HIS BEEFCAKE

OUT ON ME IN THE STUDIO.

SO I KNOW EVERY CHANCE HE GET,

HE PULL IT OUT,

IN FRONT OF EVERY BITCH

HE'S WITH.

HE PULLS HIS BEEFCAKE OUT

IN THE STUDIO.

HE PULL IT OUT, "AH.

WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT THIS?"

"NOTHING."

WHY AM I HERE?

'CAUSE I THOUGHT I'D BRING

YOU HERE TO LET YOU KNOW

THAT I WAS WORKING ON, UM--

WORKING ON HER JOINT

AND INTRODUCE YOU.

WELL, WHAT WITH HER?

WHY--YOU DON'T HAVE

TO INTRODUCE ME

TO EVERY ARTIST YOU WORK WITH.

THAT'S NONE OF MY BUSINESS.

THAT'S NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS?

I REALLY DON'T CARE, SO...

I JUST THOUGHT

I'D LET YOU IN ON IT.

LET ME IN FOR WHAT?

I DON'T WANT TO KNOW.

I DON'T CARE,

'CAUSE THIS IS MY TIME TO WORK.

I COULD BE AT THE STUDIO

DOING MY [bleep].

WELL, YOU CAN JUMP

ON THIS JOINT IF YOU WANT TO.

NO, I'M NOT JUMPING

ON ANYTHING.

I'M WORKING ON

JOSELINE HERNANDEZ JOINTS,

WHAT YOU NEEDED TO BE DOING.

BUT SINCE YOU'RE NOT DOING THAT,

I HAVE TONY WORKING ON

JOSELINE HERNANDEZ.

SO I CAN GET MY [bleep] DONE

WHILE YOU GO DO YOUR THING.

I'M COOL.

WELL, YOU KNOW, BUT THE THING

ABOUT IT IS,

DON'T NOBODY MOVE

UNLESS I SAY THEY MOVE.

PLEASE.

I MOVE WHEN I WANT TO MOVE,

'CAUSE I'VE BEEN MOVING.

YOU KNOW, IF JOSELINE THINKS

SHE'S THE ONLY HORSE

IN THE STABLE,

SHE'S GOT ANOTHER THING COMING.

YOU KNOW, THIS BUSTA'S

ALWAYS ON THE MOVE;

PICKING UP, DROPPING OFF,

GROOMING TALENT, FIXING TALENT.

I'M NOT GONNA STOP.

SLOW IT DOWN.

AT THE END OF THE DAY,

YOU'RE HERE BECAUSE I ASKED YOU

TO BE HERE.

YOU WORK WITH HER, COOL.

LOOK, HAVE A HIT.

LET ME GO DO MY JOB, 'CAUSE--

IS THAT WHAT YOU REALLY MEAN?

BECAUSE YOUR ATTITUDE DICTATES

THAT YOU--IT'S NOT MAKE A HIT.

IT'S JUST LIKE, YOU COME IN

THERE MAD WHEN IT'S JUST LIKE,

I THOUGHT WE WAS ALL COOL.

I WANT TO KNOW WHY AM I

NOT AT THE STUDIO

AND YOU CALLING ME OVER HERE

TO MEET SOMEBODY ELSE

WHEN I COULD BE WORKING

ON MY THING.

OBVIOUSLY, STEVIE WANTED

TO PLAY GAMES WITH ME.

HE'S LIKE A LITTLE BOY.

HE CAN'T HELP IT.

I NEED TO BE AT THE STUDIO,

WORKING ON MY [bleep].

WHY IS YOU CALLING ME

TO COME SEE YOU AT THE STUDIO

WITH THIS BITCH?

WHO IS THIS BITCH ANYWAY?

I DON'T KNOW THIS [bleep] BITCH.

STEVIE, I HAVE THINGS

I HAVE TO DO.

I CANNOT ENTERTAIN

YOUR SHENANIGANS.

IT'S NO SHENANIGANS.

I'M OFFICIAL.

WHAT YOU MEAN?

YOU CAN DO A SONG WITH HIM.

I'M PRETTY SURE IF YOU

[bleep] HIS [bleep],

HE WILL MAKE A TRACK.

SO GET TO [bleep].

I DON'T NEED TO DO

WHAT YOU GOT TO DO

TO MAKE A SONG, THOUGH.

SEE YOU LATER.

I'M READY TO GET IT.

YOU MY MAN AND 50 GRAND.

LAST TIME I SAW RASHEEDA,

SHE DIDN'T NECESSARILY

CALL ME A LIAR,

BUT SHE IMPLIED IT.

SHE TRIES TO PLAY THE FENCE,

YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING?

BUT I'M NOT GONNA TIP-TOE

AROUND THE ISSUE ANYMORE.

I HAVE BEEN BEAT BY MY EX,

WHO KEEPS LYING OVER AND OVER

AND OVER AGAIN ABOUT IT

WITH NO REMORSE.

THIS IS MY STORY,

AND IT'S MY TRUTH.

AND I'M STICKING TO IT.

AND NOBODY

CAN TAKE THAT FROM ME.

ONE THING THAT NOBODY DESERVES

IS TO BE HIT.

FOR YOU TO SAY, "WELL, WHAT IF

HE DON'T APOLOGIZE 'CAUSE

HE DIDN'T DO IT,"

THAT, TO ME,

WAS VERY INSENSITIVE,

ESPECIALLY IN A TIME LIKE THIS.

YOU KNOW WHAT?

THAT [bleep] AIN'T NOTHING

COMPARED TO EVERYTHING ELSE

COMING AT YOU.

THAT'S JUST ME,

SOMEBODY WHO YOU SITTING HERE

TALKING TO--

BUT IT'S WRONG

FOR YOU TO DO IT

THAN FOR THE OUTSIDE WORLD.

AT LEAST YOU'VE SEEN

A LITTLE BIT OF ME.

WHEN A BLOGGER GETS TO BLOGGING,

THEY AIN'T SEEN NOTHING.

AND THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING.

I'VE SEEN A LITTLE BIT OF YOU,

YOU KNOW?

AND I'VE SEEN ALL OF THEM.

WE AT EACH OTHER'S CRIBS.

WE TAKE TRIPS TOGETHER.

AND YOU SEE EVERYTHING.

I SEE NONE OF THAT PERSON.

HE IS A CON ARTIST.

YOU WENT FROM SAYING,

"NOTHING HAPPENED"

TO, "I RESTRAINED HER."

WHICH ONE IS IT?

YOU WENT FROM SAYING,

"SHE DIDN'T LIVE WITH ME"

TO, "SHE MOVED MY STUFF

OUT THE HOUSE."

EVER SINCE I TOLD MY STORY

YEARS AGO, I HAVEN'T CHANGED

ONE DETAIL OF IT.

BUT WITH HIM,

ON MONDAY, HE DID IT.

ON FRIDAY, HE'S SORRY.

IN THE MIDDLE OF WEDNESDAY,

HE WAS JUST RESTRAINING ME.

THESE STORIES AREN'T ADDING UP.

YOU ACT LIKE THIS MAN

GONNA SIT HERE AND BE LIKE,

"OKAY, THIS IS WHAT I DID.

THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED."

HELL, CHRIS BROWN DID.

HE TOLD WHAT HAPPENED.

BUT GUESS WHAT.

IT WAS A WHOLE LOT OF EVIDENCE

WITH THAT [bleep].

THEY KEEP ON [bleep] WITH ME,

IT'S GONNA BE EVERYWHERE.

I'MA LET THAT [bleep] LOOSE.

BUT I'VE BEEN TRYING TO BE

THE BIGGER PERSON ABOUT IT.

I'M NOT GONNA BE RAN UP

OUT OF ATLANTA.

I'M GONNA SAY WHAT THE [bleep]

I WANT TO SAY.

AND I'MA BE 100.

'CAUSE YOU KNOW WHAT?

I'M MOTHER[bleep] HURT.

NO MORE TEARS.

WHAT ARE YOU SAYING?

I MEAN, IF YOU DOUBTING

THAT I LOVE YOU,

I'M TRYING TO SAY THAT,

DOES THIS SHOW ANY DOUBT?

ARE YOU THREATENING ME?

THREATENING YOU?

MIMI, GET THE [bleep] OUT

OF HERE WITH THAT [bleep].

STOP ACTING DUMB.

I'M ACTING DUMB?

YEAH.

I'VE SPENT A LOT OF TIME

THINKING ABOUT THIS MOMENT.

TONIGHT'S THE NIGHT

I'M GONNA ASK KARLIE REDD

IF SHE WOULD SPEND

THE REST OF HER LIFE WITH ME.

THERE JUST COMES A TIME

IN EVERY MAN'S LIFE

THAT IT'S TIME TO STEP IT UP.

THIS IS THE WOMAN

THAT I WANT TO BE WITH.

THIS IS THE WOMAN

THAT I FEEL FOR.

WHEN YOU'RE WITH SOMEBODY

THAT YOU REALLY FEEL LIKE,

"THIS IS IT,"

IT'S LIKE YOU'RE GONNA OPEN

YOUR EMOTIONS

AND YOUR FEELINGS UP.

YOU'RE GONNA TAKE

YOUR GUARDS DOWN.

HERE GOES EVERYTHING.

HEY.

HOW YOU DOING?

I'M GOOD.

YOU LOOK NICE.

MY SITUATION WITH ZINO

HAS GOTTEN A LITTLE BIT

COMPLICATED.

I'M MOVED OUT OF THE HOUSE.

AND WE DON'T TALK

LIKE WE USED TO.

RIGHT NOW, I'M INTERESTED

TO HEAR WHAT HE HAS TO SAY

FOR HIMSELF.

YOU KNOW I CARE ABOUT YOU

AND I LOVE YOU.

I KNOW, LIKE, I CAN BE JEALOUS.

I KNOW THAT.

AND, YOU KNOW, I KNOW, LIKE,

MY TEMPER PROBABLY FLARES UP

BECAUSE OF THAT, YOU KNOW,

BUT THERE'S, LIKE, NOTHING

I WOULDN'T DO FOR YOU.

BUT YOU KNOW THAT I DEFINITELY,

DEFINITELY, SINCERELY,

YOU KNOW, FELL FOR YOU.

I HAVE MY DOUBTS.

YOU KNOW, IF THERE WAS

ANY DOUBTS...

I WOULDN'T HAVE DID THAT.

I'VE HAD THIS FOR A WHILE NOW.

WHAT ARE YOU SAYING?

I MEAN, IF YOU DOUBTING

THAT I LOVE YOU,

I'M TRYING TO SAY THAT,

DOES THIS SHOW ANY DOUBT?

ARE YOU READY FOR THAT?

ARE YOU READY?

I'M NOT READY.

FIRST THING SHE SAYS:

"I DOUBT THAT YOU LOVE ME."

I DON'T KNOW HOW SHE CAN HAVE

DOUBTS IN ME.

I DID EVERYTHING I COULD

TO SHOW HER THAT I LOVED HER.

SO RIGHT THEN AND THERE

SHOWED ME.

AND I JUST LOOKED IN HER EYES,

AND I JUST--

I COULDN'T DO IT.

I DON'T WANT THIS--

YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING--

TO BE ANY MORE HARDER ON ME

AS IT IS.

WHY WOULD YOU COME

AND BRING ME A RING,

AND THEN YOU DON'T EVEN

GIVE IT TO ME?

WHO DOES THAT?

I HAD THE RING.

NO, YOU [bleep] UP.

BENZINO IS A MOTHER[bleep]

ASS[bleep].

WHO THE [bleep] BRINGS A RING

AND THEN SNATCHES

THAT [bleep] BACK?

WHO THE [bleep] DOES THAT?

KNOW WHAT?

[bleep] YOU.

YOU COULD USE ME, RIGHT?

I'M NOT USING YOU.

BUT YOU CAN'T ABUSE ME.

YOU FEEL ME?

ME GETTING WITH YOU, BENZINO,

WAS A GOOD LOOK FOR YOU,

'CAUSE I PUT YOU ON.

'CAUSE IF YOU DIDN'T

GET WITH ME,

YOU WOULDN'T BE THE [bleep]

YOU ARE NOW.

THAT'S IT.

WE AIN'T ROCKIN' NO MORE.

KARLIE SAID SHE HAD HER DOUBTS.

BUT IN THE END,

ZINO HAD HIS TOO.

THE DOWNSTAIRS LOOKS GOOD,

BUT I WANT YOU TO DO NOW IS

START IN THE MASTER BEDROOM.

[doorbell rings]

AT THE LAST THERAPY SESSION

WITH DR. JEFF,

MIMI SEEMS LIKE SHE'S NOT

RIDING ON MY BUS.

SHE SEEMS LIKE SHE CAN

GET HER OWN JOINT.

SO YOU KNOW ME.

I HAD TO POP UP ON HER

AND PAY A LITTLE VISIT.

I JUST WANT HER BACK ON MY BUS.

SHE CAN EVEN DRIVE SOMETIME

WHEN I GET SLEEPY.

WHAT'S GOING ON?

WORKING.

WORKING LOOKING LIKE THAT?

I'M OVERSEEING.

I'M AT MY CLIENT'S HOME,

WORKING.

YOU'RE NOT RUNNING [bleep] HERE,

SO TAKE THAT ELSEWHERE.

UM...

I MADE A LOT OF MISTAKES

IN OUR RELATIONSHIP.

I HANDLED THINGS THE WRONG WAY.

I HANDLED A LOT OF SITUATIONS

[bleep] UP.

AND IF I COULD,

I WOULD DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN.

BUT, YOU KNOW, WE GOT HISTORY.

WE GOT A BOND THAT REALLY

CAN'T BE BROKEN

WITH OUR DAUGHTER.

BUT AT THIS POINT IN THE GAME,

IT'S LIKE,

WE'RE NOT EVEN TALKING.

AND IT'S LIKE, YOU KNOW,

WHERE WE ARE IS LIKE--

IT'S GOT ME [bleep] UP.

I'M GONNA TAKE RESPONSIBILITY

FOR THIS AS WELL.

THIS IS A LOT OF MY DOING,

BECAUSE I HAVE ALLOWED THIS

TO CONTINUE

AND HAPPEN REPEATEDLY.

SO I ALSO HAVE TO SHARE

THE RESPONSIBILITY IN THIS.

SO I MEAN, WE...

WE ON THE SAME PAGE

OR SOMETHING RIGHT NOW?

WE'RE ABSOLUTELY

ON THE SAME PAGE WITH THIS.

SO YOU THINK THAT WE COULD

CONTINUE TO BE ON THE SAME PAGE

WITH JUST TRYING

TO GET OUR THING TOGETHER?

NO.

STEVIE, WE HAVE DONE THIS,

AND WE HAVE TRIED THIS.

AND EVERY TIME WE HAVE

THIS CONVERSATION,

YOU TELL ME

YOU WANT TO FIX THIS,

YOU TELL ME YOU WANT

TO MAKE THIS RIGHT,

YOU WANT TO MAKE IT BETTER.

AND IT NEVER GETS BETTER.

IT GETS WORSE.

NOTHING EVER GETS FIXED.

GETS WORSE?

ABSOLUTELY.

OUR RELATIONSHIP GETS WORSE?

HAS IT NOT GOTTEN WORSE?

YEAH, WITH THE [bleep]

ALL IN YOUR EAR.

THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO

WITH ANYONE IN MY EAR.

THIS STRICTLY HAS TO DO

WITH YOU AND ME

AND WHAT WE'RE GOING THROUGH.

SO DON'T COME IN HERE

WITH THE BULL[bleep].

I DON'T WANT TO SCREAM.

SEE, YOU JUST MAD AND JUST--

I DON'T WANT YOU TO BE MAD.

I'M NOT MAD, STEVIE.

KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING?

YOU LOOK TOO CUTE TO BE MAD.

I'M NOT MAD.

I'M JUST NOT DOING THIS ANYMORE.

NOT DOING STEVIE.

JUST SAY YOU'RE NOT DOING--

YOU WANT ME TO SPELL IT OUT?

YEAH, SAY YOU DON'T WANT--

I DON'T WANT TO BE

IN A RELATIONSHIP WITH YOU

ANYMORE.

I'M DONE.

WILL MIMI EVER LEAVE ME?

IT AIN'T HAPPENING.

WHAT DO YOU THINK I'MA DO?

WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO?

ARE YOU THREATENING ME?

THREATENING YOU?

YES, WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO?

I'M STANDING 100 FEET

AWAY FROM YOU.

I...

AND I SAID,

"ARE YOU THREATENING?"

MIMI, GET THE [bleep]

OUT OF HERE WITH THAT [bleep].

STOP ACTING DUMB.

I'M ACTING DUMB?

YEAH.

I'VE BEEN GOING THROUGH

THE WORST THING I'VE EVER

GONE THROUGH IN MY LIFE.

NAH, IT'S BEEN [bleep]

YOU UP ALL YOUR WHOLE LIFE.

AND YOU HAVEN'T?

NAH, I GAVE YOU THE BEST

THING YOU EVER COULD'VE HAD.

YOU BETTER BE GRATEFUL.

I BETTER BE GRATEFUL?

YOU DISGUST ME.

BUT I GAVE YOU A KID

WHEN EVERYBODY ELSE

JUST TOSSED YOU ON THE WAYSIDE.

YOU GAVE ME A KID?

YEAH, YEAH.

YOU SOUND RIDICULOUS.

CAN YOU PLEASE GO?

PLEASE?

I'M DONE TALKING.

YOU'RE DONE TALKING?

DONE TALKING.

HAVE A GOOD LIFE, MA,

YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING?

YEAH, I WILL.

ALL I GOT TO SAY IS,

DAMN, THAT FELT GOOD.

YES, YES, YES, YES.

TO 12 MORE YEARS

AND 12 MORE AND 12 MORE.
