ON THIS SEASON

OF LOVE & HIP-HOP,

WE TOOK YOU TO THE HEART

OF THE SOUTH, ATLANTA,

WITH A WHOLE NEW CAST.

THE HUSTLE AND GRIND IS MEANEST

HERE IN THE "A".

WHEN BUSINESS IS INVOLVED,

NO ONE CARE IF YOU HURT.

YOU GONNA LET THEM

MOTHER[bleep] TAKE MY [bleep]

WHERE I BEEN WORKING FOR?

I DON'T LIKE THAT.

I WOULD LIKE TO BE PARTNERS

WITH YOU.

BUT I'M NOT GIVING UP 20%.

THAT'S BULL[bleep].

I'M ABOUT TO GET FIRED

IS WHAT YOU TELLING ME.

I DON'T WANT TO SAY THAT.

[sobs]

EVERYONE IS LOCKED

IN A BATTLE TO WIN.

DON'T MAKE UP

NO [bleep] ON ME!

EVERY TIME I SEE YOU!

BITCH, SHUT YOUR ASS UP,

YOU STUPID BITCH!

AND THE TRUTH

SETS NOBODY FREE.

YOU GUYS LIVING TOGETHER?

YES, I'M IN THE HOUSE.

BITCH!

I GOT HER.

MAN, LET GO OF ME.

LOVE WAS THE ULTIMATE PRIZE.

I LOVE YOU.

I LOVE YOU TOO.

I WANT TO BE IN LOVE.

YOU ARE THE PIECES

TO MY PUZZLE.

SO YOU TELL ME

WHERE YOU WANT TO START.

BUT SOME FOUND

A LITTLE TOO MUCH...

SHE DON'T KNOW ABOUT--

YEAH, NOTHING.

NOTHING?

[both laughing]

WHO'S BABY IS IT?

I HAVEN'T [bleep] NOBODY FOR

THE LAST SIX MONTHS BUT YOU.

I DIDN'T [bleep] NOBODY AND

GET 'EM PREGNANT; YOU DID.

WHILE OTHERS

JUST CAME UP EMPTY.

THAT MAN BEAT MY ASS,

AND I HAD TO DEAL WITH THAT!

THE FIRST THING YOU SAY IS,

"I'M GONNA SEND YOU BACK TO THE

[bleep] STRIP CLUB."

I'M NOT GOING BACK.

YOU HURT ME

TO THE CORE.

BUT WHAT DOESN'T KILL YOU

ONLY MAKES YOU STRONGER.

NO MORE TEARS.

I'M GONNA MAKE IT WITH YOU

OR WITHOUT YOU.

GO DO WHAT YOU WANT TO DO.

I'M GONNA BE HAPPY,

AND THAT'S WITHOUT YOU.

I DON'T WANT TO BE IN A

RELATIONSHIP WITH YOU ANYMORE.

I'M DONE.

'CAUSE IT AIN'T ALL FAIR

IN LOVE AND HIP-HOP.

AND TONIGHT, ON LOVE & HIP-HOP:

ATLANTA: THE REUNION...

I'M THE BADDEST BITCH.

BITCH, YOU LOOK LIKE

MICHAEL JACKSON IN THRILLER.

YOU LOOK LIKE

THE BOTTOM OF MY SHOE.

JUMP, BITCH!

JUMP!

SHUT UP, UGLY.

DON'T [bleep] GO THERE,

STEVIE.

THINKING I'M USING THIS MAN

FOR HIS [bleep] MONEY.

NEVER BEEN THE CASE.

AFTER I SLAMMED HIM

IN THE BUSHES--

EVERYBODY FELL IN THE BUSHES

WITH THE SECURITY.

IF I WAS GONNA GET MY BOOTY

DONE, I WAS GONNA GET

A BADONKADONK.

WERE YOU EVER A MAN?

I HAVE TO MAINTAIN SOME TYPE

OF CONTROL.

YOU BIPOLAR, SCHIZOPHRENIC,

INSECURE BITCH.

YOU'RE [bleep] IS WHAT I WANT

AND YOUR MONEY, SO GET TO WORK.

YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT, YOU KNOW

WHAT IT IS, FUNK FLEX.

THIS IS THE MOST OFF THE CHAIN

REALITY SHOW ON TELEVISION.

LOVE & HIP-HOP: ATLANTA:

THE REUNION IS GOING DOWN

RIGHT NOW.

GIVE IT UP FOR YOUR HOST

AND THE EXECUTIVE PRODUCER

OF LOVE & HIP-HOP,

MONA SCOTT-YOUNG.

[cheers and applause]

THE PREMIERE SEASON

OF LOVE & HIP-HOP: ATLANTA

WAS A HUGE SUCCESS.

MILLIONS TUNED IN.

BUT NOT EVERYONE BELIEVED THAT

THE DRAMA WAS REAL.

TRUST ME,

NONE OF IT WAS SCRIPTED.

BUT YOU DON'T HAVE TO TAKE MY

WORD FOR IT.

TONIGHT, WE'VE BROUGHT THE CAST

TOGETHER,

SOME OF THEM FOR THE FIRST TIME

SINCE THE SEASON BEGAN, TO

ADDRESS ALL OF THE THINGS THAT

YOU, THE VIEWERS, WANT TO KNOW.

BUT FIRST, PLEASE WELCOME ERICA,

MIMI, K.MICHELLE, JOSELINE,

KARLIE, AND RASHEEDA.

[cheers and applause]

AND DOWN HERE IN THE FRONT,

WE'VE GOT ARIANE, MOMMA DEE,

SCRAPPY, BENZINO, KIRK,

AND THE NOTORIOUS STEVIE J.

[cheers and applause]

AND JOSELINE, WHAT IS GOING ON

WITH THOSE GLASSES?

WHAT ARE THOSE?

WELL, YOU KNOW, I HAD TO

PUT ON MY SHADES FOR ALL YOU

HATIN' ASS BITCHES.

AND FOR ALL MY FELLAS,

YOU CAN HAVE ALL THIS.

OKAY.

YES, THAT'S RIGHT, BABY,

'CAUSE I'M THE BADDEST BITCH.

AND NOW THAT WE KNOW THAT,

LET'S MOVE ON

TO THE OTHER LADIES.

THIS SEASON, YOU GUYS OPENED UP

FOR THE CAMERAS.

YOU GAVE THE WORLD

A VERY INTIMATE GLIMPSE

INTO YOUR LIVES.

AND I WANT TO PERSONALLY THANK

ALL OF YOU GUYS FOR THAT.

BECAUSE WITHOUT IT,

WE WOULDN'T HAVE THIS SHOW.

SO THANK YOU SO MUCH.

THANK YOU FOR HAVING US.

[cheers and applause]

BUT AS A RESULT,

THERE WAS A LOT OF BACKLASH.

SOME CRITICS FELT THE SHOW

WAS A NEGATIVE PORTRAYAL

OF AFRICAN-AMERICAN WOMEN

AND THEIR RELATIONSHIPS.

MIMI, LET'S START WITH YOU.

YOU'VE GOTTEN A LOT OF FLACK

ABOUT THAT.

WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO SAY?

BASICALLY, WHAT WAS GOING ON,

WHAT WAS GOING ON

IN OUR LIFE.

IT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH YOU

OR VH1, A SCRIPT.

THAT WAS JUST WHAT WAS

HAPPENING, SO FOR THEM TO SAY

THAT YOU GUYS WERE PORTRAYING

AFRICAN-AMERICAN WOMEN IN A

NEGATIVE LIGHT--NOT SO MUCH.

I DON'T KNOW ONE WOMAN THAT

HASN'T BEEN CHEATED ON.

ABSOLUTELY.

I DON'T.

SO--

IT'S JUST THAT MY STORY

IS BEING TELEVISED.

RIGHT.

THIS SHOW WAS NEVER SUPPOSED TO

BE A REPRESENTATION

OF ALL AFRICAN-AMERICAN WOMEN

EVERYWHERE.

THIS SHOW WAS ABOUT YOUR LIVES,

YOUR EXPERIENCES,

YOUR STRUGGLES.

AND THEY'RE YOUR STORIES

TO TELL,

AND YOU GUYS HAVE EVERY RIGHT

TO TELL THEM.

BUT EVEN WITH ALL OF THAT

NEGATIVE BACKLASH, WE STILL HAD

A TREMENDOUS OUTPOURING OF

SUPPORT FROM OUR VIEWERS.

SO LET'S JUMP RIGHT IN

AND START.

AMANDA L. FROM FACEBOOK

WANTS TO KNOW, KARLIE,

HOW OLD ARE YOU REALLY?

[laughter]

EVERYONE WANTS TO KNOW

HOW OLD KARLIE IS.

LOOK.

I AM BEAUTIFUL.

I'M YOUNG.

I'M TALENTED.

I NEVER TELL MY AGE.

OKAY, SO ANYBODY WANT TO TAKE

A GUESS ON HOW OLD KARLIE IS?

[indistinct chattering]

SHE IN HER 40s.

I LOOK 50, I LOOK 40.

I LOOK 30.

YOU DID THE WIKIPEDIA PAGE A

COUPLE DAYS AGO.

IT SAYS 1985.

K.MICHELLE,

YOU'RE THE SAME AGE AS ME,

SO STOP IT.

OOH.

[all "Oohing"]

WE ALL KNOW KARLIE REDD.

SHE GETS TO SHOUTING OUT STUFF

BECAUSE SHE DON'T WANT HER TRUTH

TO BE TOLD.

THE TRUTH OF IT IS LIKE THIS:

SHE MARCHED WITH MARTIN LUTHER

KING--

[laughter]

BUT YOU KNOW, MAYBE YOU DON'T

LIE ABOUT AGE.

IF YOU WERE BORN IN 1985, BITCH,

YOU IS 14

IN L.A. WITH HER.

BUT YOU LOOK LIKE IT.

IT DON'T MATTER, BITCH,

YOU LOOK LIKE MICHAEL JACKSON

IN THRILLER.

[cheers and applause]

GET THE JACK DANIELS FOR THIS

HO, 'CAUSE SHE NEEDS IT.

OLDER THAN ME.

BUT YOUR CHILD IS OLDER THAN ME.

WE'LL GET TO ALL OF THAT.

BITCH, YOUR NECK IS WRINKLED.

OH, COME ON NOW.

THAT'S YOUR NECK.

BITCH, YOU OLD.

IT DON'T MATTER.

BITCH, YOU GOT A RIP

IN YOUR [bleep].

YOU GOT NO WALLS.

[all "Oohing"]

YOU GOT NO WALLS.

BITCH, MY [bleep] CLEAN.

NO!

UH-UH.

SHE'S AN OLD-ASS

HARRIET TUBMAN BITCH.

ALL RIGHT, NOW.

IT'S GETTING A LITTLE TOO HEATED

IN HERE.

LET'S MOVE ON

TO THE NEXT QUESTION.

OKAY, MISSY G. FROM FACEBOOK

ASKS, "WHAT PLASTIC SURGERY, IF

ANY, HAVE EACH OF YOU HAD DONE?"

LET'S GO DOWN THE LINE STARTING

RIGHT HERE WITH YOU, ERICA.

OH, I'M ALL WOMAN,

ALL NATURAL.

[cheers and applause]

WHAT YOU HAD DONE, MIMI?

NOTHING.

OKAY.

[cheers and applause]

SO K.MICHELLE,

WE KNOW YOU'VE BEEN HONEST.

YOU'VE HAD THE TEETH DONE.

YOU'VE HAD THE BREASTS DONE.

WHAT ABOUT THE BADONKADONK?

IS THAT ALL YOU?

THAT'S MY BOOTY.

I GOT THAT FROM MY MAMA

AND JIFFY CORNBREAD.

RASHEEDA?

OH.

ANYTHING DONE?

NO, MA'AM.

NOTHING OVER HERE, BABY.

OKAY, HONEY.

YOU LADIES ARE ALL GORGEOUS.

KARLIE?

I GOT MY BREASTS DONE.

THE BREASTS?

THAT'S IT?

THAT'S IT.

NOTHING IN THE BOOTY AREA?

MY BOOTY IS NOT THAT BIG

FOR IT TO BE DONE.

IF I WAS GONNA GET MY BOOTY

DONE, I WAS GONNA GET

A BADONKADONK.

OKAY.

YEAH, LET'S SEE THAT ASS.

PLEASE, THE BOOTY

IS NOT THAT BIG.

THAT LOOKS LIKE A REAL--

OKAY.

YEAH.

MAYBE IT IS A REAL BOOTY.

YEAH.

I'LL TAKE YOUR WORD FOR IT.

THIS BOOTY IS NOT THAT BIG.

IF I WAS GONNA GET A BOOTY,

I'M GONNA GET UH!

JOSELINE, WHAT WE HAD DONE,

MAMA?

I GOT MY BOOBS DONE, I GOT MY

TEETH DONE, AND THAT'S IT.

NAILS, HAIR, ARE FAKE,

BUT, YOU KNOW.

[laughter]

NO, MY ASS IS REAL.

DON'T BE A HATER.

HATER.

DON'T BE MAD AT ME

'CAUSE I'M FINE.

ALL RIGHT, WELL, LET'S TALK

ABOUT THIS, JOSELINE.

ONE OF THE BIGGEST

AND MOST OUTRAGEOUS RUMORS

COMING OUT OF THE SHOW WAS THAT

YOU WERE NOT ALL WOMAN.

I CANNOT BELIEVE THEY WOULD

EVEN SAY SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

WELL, LET'S CLEAR IT UP NOW,

ONCE AND FOR ALL.

LET'S STRAIGHTEN IT OUT

FOR THE RECORD.

ARE YOU OR WERE YOU EVER A MAN?

YES.

OKAY, MONA,

I'LL TELL YOU THIS.

YOU SEE ME TAKE A PREGNANCY

TEST, YOU SEE MY PRIVATE AREA.

YOU KNOW I WAS PREGNANT

FOR A FACT.

YOU READ THE PREGNANCY TEST.

I DID IT IN FRONT OF YOU.

YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT.

I DID IT IN FRONT OF YOU

BEFORE I DID IT

IN FRONT OF ANYBODY.

EXACTLY.

SO WHAT HAPPENED WAS THAT

JOSELINE WAS VERY NERVOUS ABOUT

TAKING THE TEST.

SHE DIDN'T WANT TO KNOW.

AND I WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT

THIS INFORMATION WAS ACCURATE

AND TRUE.

YOU WERE FULLY NAKED, AND I CAN

ATTEST TO THE FACT THAT YOU DID

PEE ON THAT STICK.

AND SHE IS A WOMAN, YES.

I UNDERSTAND.

I'M PERFECT.

I HAVE A PERFECT FACE.

I HAVE A PERFECT BODY.

AND ANYBODY THAT--

SHUT UP, UGLY.

I'M ALL WOMAN.

YES, I GOT MY BREASTS DONE, YES,

I GOT MY TEETH DONE.

SO [bleep] WHAT?

I LOVE MY BODY.

I LOVE HOW I LOOK.

AND EVERY BITCH I KNOW THAT EVER

SEE ME WISH THEY LOOK LIKE ME.

AND I'MA STAND BEHIND

HOW I LOOK, 'CAUSE I LOVE IT.

WHO WOULDN'T LIKE IT?

I DON'T GIVE A [bleep].

'CAUSE I'M A BAD BITCH.

ALL RIGHT.

[laughter and applause]

LET ME JUST ASK THE OTHER LADIES

THIS--'CAUSE YOU GUYS SPENT

A LOT OF TIME, YOU KNOW, WHILE

SHOOTING, AROUND JOSELINE.

DID ANY OF YOU GUYS

DOUBT SHE WAS A WOMAN?

I DID.

[applause]

YOU KNOW WHAT?

AS A MATTER OF FACT, YOUR MAN

KNOW I'M ALL WOMAN, 'CAUSE

I USED TO DANCE FOR HIM BACK

IN THE DAY, SO HE CAN TELL YOU.

OR DID YOU FORGET?

YOU REMEMBER.

[all "Oohing"]

DAMN, SCRAP.

THAT DOESN'T MEAN

YOU ALL WOMAN.

[all "Oohing"]

JOSELINE.

HOLD UP. HOLD UP.

WHO IS SHENELLICA BETTENCOURT?

WHO EXACTLY IS THAT?

THAT'S A LITTLE--WHO IS THAT?

THERE'S RUMORS.

NO, I EXPLAINED THAT.

I STARTED DANCING WHEN 16.

I STARTED DANCING

AT A YOUNG AGE.

[all "Oohing"]

YES, I WAS THICK AND YOUNG.

I WAS 16 YEARS OLD.

AND I USED THAT NAME.

I WENT UNDER

SHENELLICA BETTENCOURT.

AND I WENT TO JAIL TWICE UNDER

MY--WELL, I WENT TO JAIL

A BUNCH OF TIMES,

BUT I WENT TO JAIL--

[laughter]

I WENT TO JAIL TWICE UNDER

SHENELLICA BETTENCOURT,

WHICH WAS MY FAKE NAME

THAT I USED.

WHERE DID THAT NAME

COME FROM THOUGH?

OF ALL THE NAMES YOU COULD HAVE

PICKED, SHENELLICA BETTENCOURT?

LISTEN.

THE PERSON THAT I GOT THE I.D.

FROM, THE WHOLE NAME WAS

SHENELLICA BETTENCOURT.

SO WHEN I WENT TO JAIL WHEN I

WAS 17 AND DANCING,

I WAS LIKE, "[bleep], MY NAME'S

SHENELLICA BETTENCOURT."

I'M NOT SAYING MY NAME

JOSELINE HERNANDEZ, [bleep].

SO I'M GOING TO JAIL,

THAT'S MY I.D.

SHENELLICA BETTENCOURT.

THAT'S WHERE THAT CAME FROM.

I BEEN TO JAIL 20 TIMES.

I USED TO STAY GOING TO JAIL.

I WENT TO JAIL 'CAUSE I WAS

WORKING AT A STRIP CLUB, AND

THEY RAIDED THE CLUB IN MIAMI.

ANY STRIPPER KNOW,

WHEN THEY RAID THE CLUB,

EVERYBODY GOES TO JAIL.

I'VE BEEN TO JAIL FOR ABS--

WHAT HAVEN'T I BEEN TO JAIL FOR?

WELL, WHAT WAS

THIS ARREST FOR?

I DON'T KNOW, GIRL.

I GOT A LOT OF MUG SHOTS.

I GOT, LIKE, 100 MUG SHOTS.

I DON'T EVEN KNOW

WHAT THIS ONE WAS ABOUT.

BUT I LOOK MAD IN THIS ONE, SO

SOMEBODY MUST HAVE TOOK ME OUT

OF THE STRIP CLUB WHILE I WAS

GETTING SOME MONEY.

I HAD TO HAVE BEEN IN THE CLUB.

RIGHT NOW,

WE'RE GONNA GO TO BREAK.

AND WHEN WE COME BACK, WE'RE

GONNA DIG EVEN DEEPER INTO THESE

STORIES, SO KEEP IT RIGHT HERE.

[cheers and applause]

DO WHAT YOU DO.

DO SOMETHING WITH YOUR

NAPPY-ASS HAIR, YOU BIPOLAR,

SCHIZOPHRENIC, INSECURE BITCH.

BAGS UNDER YOUR EYES.

YEAH, LET ME, MAMA.

[cheers and applause]

WE'RE BACK.

LET'S JUMP RIGHT IN

TO LOVE & HIP-HOP: ATLANTA:

THE REUNION.

WHEN YOU PUT A GROUP OF

OUTSPOKEN, OPINIONATED WOMEN

TOGETHER, THERE ARE BOUND TO BE

SOME SPARKS.

BUT ONE OF OUR LADIES SEEMED TO

SET OFF EXPLOSIONS

EVERY TIME SHE MADE CONTACT.

TO QUOTE K.MICHELLE,

MISS KARLIE WAS MESSY.

LET'S TAKE A LOOK.

WHAT IS YOUR FEELING ON

KARLIE REDD?

RIGHT NOW, IN MY EYES,

SHE'S A RAT.

JOSELINE IS A REAL CHICK.

HER MAN IS STEVIE J.

I'M SORRY, NO, IT'S NOT.

YOU NEED TO MIND YOUR

BUSINESS, KARLIE REDD.

IT'S TIME FOR ME TO GIVE THIS

BITCH A REALITY CHECK.

I DON'T WANT TO HEAR NONE OF

THAT BULL[bleep] ABOUT

YOU AND MIMI TALK.

I DON'T GIVE A [bleep]

ABOUT THAT.

DON'T TALK ABOUT ME WITH MIMI.

SOMEBODY IS GOING TO GET [bleep]

THEIR ASS, 'CAUSE HONEY, YOU

DESERVE THAT ASS WHUPPING 'CAUSE

YOU TALK TOO MUCH.

[applause]

MIMI, MIMI, MIMI, MIMI, MIMI,

THAT'S THE GIRL THAT SAID

SHE [bleep] STEVIE,

IN THE WHITE.

I HOPE SOMEBODY GIVE HER

SOME KIND OF JOB,

THE NATIONAL ENQUIRER,

BECAUSE SHE'S

IN EVERYBODY'S BUSINESS

BUT HER OWN.

I LOOKED FOR YOUR RECEIPTS.

WHEN I GOOGLED YOUR NAME--

BABY, YOU DON'T KNOW ME.

A BRAND OF VINEGAR.

STEVIE'S GOTTEN JOSELINE

PREGNANT.

I GUESS WHAT I WAS SAYING

WAS TRUE.

YEAH.

WHAT?

WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO SAY NOW?

OH, YOU FEEL STUPID.

OH, YOU'RE HURT.

I TRIED TO WARN YOU.

HER FACE IS MESSY.

HER CLOTHES ARE MESSY.

HER ASS IS LOPSIDED AND MESSY.

YOU ARE A JOKE TO ME.

I KNOW SHE'S LIKE,

REAL FAKE AND PHONY,

AND SHE'S FROM L.A.

THEY ALL FAKE AND PHONY.

THEY ALWAYS PUTTING ON

THAT FRONT.

[feigns giggling]

"MY NAME'S KARLIE."

[giggles]

BITCH, SHUT UP.

DON'T MAKE UP NO [bleep]

ON ME, BITCH.

HEY.

TRY IT.

WHOO-OOH!

THIS BITCH IS SHAKIN' THE TABLE.

DON'T SHAKE

UNLESS YOU READY TO GET SHOOK.

[applause]

KARLIE, YOU RUBBED A LOT OF

PEOPLE THE WRONG WAY BECAUSE YOU

ALWAYS SEEMED TO BE IN SOMEBODY

ELSE'S BUSINESS.

WHAT DO YOU SAY ABOUT THAT?

I WAS JUST KEEPING IT REAL

FOR MY GIRL.

LIKE, I WAS JUST LETTING HER

KNOW.

'CAUSE IF I DIDN'T TELL HER,

THEN I WOULD SEEM FAKE.

AND I DIDN'T WANT TO BE FAKE.

BECAUSE SHE'S ANCIENT.

SHE'S FOSSIL REDD.

SHE'S BEEN HERE BEFORE.

SHUT UP, BIPOLAR.

YOU'RE UGLY.

AND YOU LOOK LIKE

THE BOTTOM OF MY SHOE.

GET YOUR TEETH--

HAVE YOU GUYS SEEN HER TEETH

BEFORE SHE GOT IT FIXED?

OH, MY GOD, A HOT MESS.

WHERE IS YOUR CHILD?

SHE GOT 'EM FIXED, NOW.

WHERE IS YOUR DAUGHTER?

SHE AN ACTRESS.

WHERE IS YOUR DAUGHTER?

LET'S TALK ABOUT THIS.

WHERE'S YOUR SON?

WHERE'S YOUR--I RAISE HIM.

SO, NO, NO, BOO-BOO.

NO, NO, YOU DID NOT.

HELLO.

THANK YOU.

LET ME ASK YOU A QUESTION,

KARLIE, BECAUSE THIS HAS COME UP

TIME AND TIME AGAIN.

LET'S SETTLE IT

ONCE AND FOR ALL NOW.

DO YOU HAVE A DAUGHTER?

I DO HAVE A DAUGHTER,

BUT I DIDN'T WANT HER TO HAVE

ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE SHOW.

I DON'T WANT MY CHILD HAVE TO GO

TO SCHOOL AND PEOPLE ARE TALKING

ABOUT HER--"OH, YOUR MOTHER"--

NO.

I'MA KEEP HER OUT OF IT.

IT'S--

HOW OLD IS YOUR DAUGHTER?

[stammers]

THAT'S--

I DON'T WANT TO KEEP MY--

I DON'T WANT TO PUT MY--

I'M GONNA KEEP MY DAUGHTER

OUT OF THIS.

THAT'S FAIR, BUT YOU DO HAVE

A DAUGHTER WHO YOU ACKNOWLEDGE--

YES, OF COURSE.

OKAY, SO LET'S

TAKE A QUESTION FROM

OUR STUDIO AUDIENCE RIGHT NOW.

OH, ALL RIGHT.

THIS ONE IS FROM FUNKY DINEVA

WHO IS IN OUR AUDIENCE TONIGHT.

YES, GOD, MISS MONA.

YES, GOD, HONEY, I'MA LET YOU

ASK YOUR OWN QUESTION.

HONEY.

MISS KARLIE REDD,

NOW, LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING.

I'M HERE FOR THE PEOPLE, AND I

GOT A QUESTION THAT THE STREET

IS ASKING, OKAY?

ON THAT EPISODE WHERE YOU ARE

AUDITION FOR STEVIE J, YOU

HAD ON YOUR NASTY TWO-STEP

LOUIS, GUCCI, PRADA, OKAY?

AND YOU TOLD EVERYBODY THAT YOU

WERE SIGNED TO CASH MONEY, BUT

THE PRESIDENT OF CASH MONEY

RECORDS, MR. MACK MAINE, SAID

YOU ARE NOT NOW NOR HAVE YOU

EVER BEEN SIGNED TO CASH MONEY.

SO MY QUESTION TO YOU IS,

ARE YOU NOW OR WERE YOU EVER

SIGNED TO CASH MONEY?

MALCOLM MILES, WHO IS V.P.

OF CASH MONEY RECORDS

IS MY MANAGER.

SO IS MEL SMITH, WHO IS ALSO THE

VICE PRESIDENT OF CASH MONEY.

OKAY, BUT FOR THE RECORD,

YOU ARE NOT SIGNED TO CASH MONEY

MANAGEMENT.

THAT'S WHAT I'VE BEEN SAYING.

ALL RIGHT, SO K.MICHELLE,

AS IT TURNED OUT, KARLIE WASN'T

THE ONLY PERSON THAT YOU HAD

ISSUES WITH THIS SEASON.

UH-HUH.

YOU AND RASHEEDA SEEMED TO BE

BUILDING A FRIENDSHIP

IN THE BEGINNING.

MM-HMM.

BUT ALL OF THAT CAME TUMBLING

DOWN WHEN SHE CHALLENGED THE

ALLEGATIONS OF ABUSE BY YOUR EX.

YEAH.

ALL RIGHT,

LET'S CHECK OUT THAT SCENE.

I AM A WOMAN THAT LIVED

THROUGH THE VIOLENCE AGAINST ME.

BUT MORE THAN ANYTHING,

I'M A SURVIVOR.

I JUST THANK YOU FOR NOT TAKING

SIDES IN THE SITUATION.

BUT IF HE SAYS HE'S SORRY,

THEN WHERE DOES THAT PUT YOU?

DOES THAT TAKE YOU

TO ANOTHER PLACE?

YOU KNOW WHAT IT DOES?

IT AT LEAST MAKES ME FEEL LIKE

THERE IS SOME GOOD.

MAYBE HE'S NOT DOING THAT

BECAUSE THAT'S NOT SOMETHING

THAT HE DID TO YOU.

RASHEEDA, HE DID THAT TO ME.

I HAVE SCARS ALL ON MY LEG,

CARPET BURNS,

FROM FIGHTING.

THREE YEARS

MY CAREER WAS GONE BECAUSE I

COULD NOT TALK.

I DON'T HAVE THAT NO MORE.

I DON'T CARE WHAT NOBODY

GOT TO SAY ABOUT ME.

'CAUSE THAT'S MY [bleep].

NONE OF Y'ALL WAS THERE.

NONE OF Y'ALL.

THAT MAN BEAT MY ASS!

AND I HAD TO DEAL WITH THAT!

SO I DON'T GIVE A [bleep] WHAT

NOBODY THINKS ABOUT NOTHING

I GOT GOING ON!

WOW.

LET'S START WITH YOU, RASHEEDA.

YOU'D HEARD K.MICHELLE TELL YOU

THE STORY SO MANY TIMES,

AND THERE WERE POINTS

WHERE YOU EMPATHIZED WITH HER

AND UNDERSTOOD HER STORY.

WHAT WAS DIFFERENT THAT TIME?

WHAT MADE YOU TAKE A DIFFERENT

POSITION?

TO BE HONEST WITH YOU,

I'VE BEEN FRIENDS WITH THEM

FOR A VERY LONG, LONG TIME.

AND I'M VERY, VERY CLOSE

TO HIS WIFE.

YOU KNOW?

AND I HEARD BOTH SIDES

OF THE STORY.

WHAT ARE THOUGHTS NOW ON

THE SUBJECT, ON EVERYTHING THAT

YOU'VE HEARD FROM K.MICHELLE?

YOU KNOW WHAT?

TO BE HONEST WITH YOU, IT AIN'T

GOT NOTHING TO DO WITH ME,

BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY,

I DON'T KNOW

IF I BELIEVE K.MICHELLE.

OKAY.

OH, WOW.

THANK YOU.

REGARDLESS OF ANYTHING, FOR

THREE YEARS, I'VE BEEN

HELPING WOMEN WHO WENT THROUGH

DOMESTIC VIOLENCE.

SO REGARDLESS OF HOW CRAZY

K.MICHELLE IS OR HOW I ACT--

I DON'T SAY I ACT RIGHT.

I DON'T ALWAYS ACT RIGHT.

I NEVER HAVE SAID I WAS THIS

PICTURE PERFECT WOMAN.

WHAT I SAID WAS WHAT HAPPENED TO

ME IS WHAT HAPPENED TO ME.

AND RASHEEDA, YOU DON'T HAVE TO

BELIEVE IT, BUT YOU SURE SAT

THERE EVERY EPISODE GETTING

YOUR CHECK, LISTENING TO ME.

DAMN STRAIGHT.

YOU DID WHAT IT WAS.

YOU SURE CRIED AT EVERYTHING

WITH ME IN MY HAND.

BUT WHEN THE FIRST EPISODE

CAME OUT AND IT GOT TOUGH,

YOU GOT TO RUNNING.

OH, I AIN'T RUN.

YES, YOU DID.

NO, I [bleep] DIDN'T.

IT GOT TOUGH.

NO, I DIDN'T.

WHEN IT GOT TOUGH,

THE BOSS LEFT.

AND WE WENT TO

SWEET VALLEY HIGH.

OH, YOU WANT TO SAY

THE BOSS LEFT?

THE BOSS AIN'T LEAVE.

FIRST OF ALL, LET ME--

HOLD ON. HOLD ON.

PLEASE TELL SCARECROW

TO SHUT UP.

HOLD ON.

LET ME SAY SOMETHING.

AIN'T NOBODY LEAVE,

YOU KNOW WHAT?

BECAUSE, TO BE HONEST WITH YOU--

LET ME SIT--NO, WE CAN SIT UP.

I GOT YOU.

I'M JUST TALKING.

WE WOMEN; WE CAN TALK.

YEAH, WE ARE WOMEN.

BUT LET ME SAY THIS.

I HAD TO PUT TWO AND TWO

TOGETHER AND SAY "HUH, SOMETHING

DON'T MAKE NO DAMN SENSE."

WHAT DON'T MAKE--HOW I GET

OUT OF A $2 MILLION RECORD DEAL

OR EVERYTHING?

THEY DIDN'T LET ME GO...

LISTEN HERE.

LIKE THEY LET YOU GO

ON YOURS.

[all "Oohing"]

OH, BITCH,

THEY DIDN'T LET ME GO.

I LEFT.

I HAD TO GET OUT OF MINE.

LET'S KEEP

THAT [bleep] CLEAR.

YOU'RE STRANGLING THE FISH,

RASHEEDA.

WHEN IT GOT TOUGH,

I LISTENED TO YOU.

I LISTENED ABOUT YOUR MARRIAGE.

I WATCHED YOU DISRESPECT

YOUR HUSBAND ON TV.

I DIDN'T

DISRESPECT MY HUSBAND.

LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING.

A HUSBAND IS SOMETHING YOU WANT;

SOMETHING I HAVE, OKAY?

LET'S KEEP THAT CLEAR.

AIN'T NOBODY GONNA MARRY

NO CRAZY-ASS BITCH.

YOU ABOUT TO LOSE HIM,

DISRESPECT HIM ON TV.

I AIN'T GONNA LOSE [bleep].

PLEASE, BELIEVE THAT.

THAT MAN YOU DESCRIBED YOU WANT

IS THAT MAN.

AND YOU NOT GONNA GET HIM.

IT'S MY STORY.

YEAH,

AND THAT [bleep]'S A LIE.

WOW, RASHEEDA, WELL, YOU

SHOULDN'T HAVE CAME TO MY EVENT.

YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN--

I DIDN'T WANT TO.

DO WHAT YOU DO.

DO SOMETHING WITH YOUR

NAPPY-ASS HAIR, YOU BIPOLAR,

SCHIZOPHRENIC, INSECURE BITCH.

[both shouting indistinctly]

BAGS UNDER YOUR EYES.

YEAH, LET ME HAVE

MY MOTHER[bleep] BAGS.

[all "Oohing"]

I GOT YOUR BACK.

NO, YOU AIN'T.

I AIN'T GOT TO MOVE.

DO ANYBODY ELSE BELIEVE HER ASS?

DO--

CHILL, JUST CHILL.

DO ANYBODY ELSE BELIEVE

THAT DUMB-ASS HO?

ASK THAT QUESTION.

IT'S OBVIOUS WE'RE GONNA BE

DEALING WITH A LOT OF THESE

ISSUES FOR MANY MORE SEASONS

TO COME.

WE'RE GONNA TRY TO CALM THINGS

DOWN WITH A BREAK.

WE'LL BE BACK.

JUMP, BITCH!

JUMP!

BITCH, SHUT UP BEFORE I--

LOVE & HIP-HOP: ATLANTA:

THE REUNION.

I'M JOINED NOW BY STEVIE,

JOSELINE, ERICA, AND SCRAPPY.

WE HAD QUITE A FEW ARGUMENTS

THIS SEASON, BUT UNFORTUNATELY,

ONE OF THEM QUICKLY TURNED INTO

A SERIOUS PHYSICAL ALTERCATION.

WHAT STARTED OUT AS

A CONVERSATION GOT UGLY FAST,

AND SUDDENLY ESCALATED

INTO AN ALL-OUT MELEE.

TAKE A LOOK.

"GIVE ME A KISS."

"YOU GONNA GIVE ME A KISS."

OKAY.

HE WAS LIKE, "NO, BITCH,

WHAT THE [bleep] DID YOU SAY?"

BITCH?

YES, "BITCH".

THAT'S WHAT HE CALLED ME.

I WANT TO PUT THEM PAWS

ON HIM.

GO AT HIM.

MAKE HIM ANSWER.

CHECK HIM.

THAT'S HIM, RIGHT THERE.

MY BABY MAMA?

IF I CALLED YOU A BITCH,

I WANT TO APOLOGIZE TO YOU.

I CURSE YOUR [bleep] OUT

[audience murmurs]

LET ME JUST EXPLAIN FOR A

SECOND FOR OUR VIEWING AUDIENCE,

IN SUPPORT OF THE ONGOING EFFORT

TO MINIMIZE THE VIOLENCE SHOWN

ON THE NETWORK, WE AGREED

TO EDIT THE FIGHT DOWN

TO WHAT YOU GUYS SAW.

BUT SINCE WE'RE HERE AND THE

VIEWERS WANT TO KNOW EXACTLY

WHAT HAPPENED THAT NIGHT--

AND I KNOW YOU GUYS WANT TO

CLEAR IT UP BECAUSE THERE'S BEEN

SO MUCH CHATTER BACK AND FORTH.

WHY DON'T WE JUST GO AHEAD

AND SET THE RECORD STRAIGHT

ONCE AND FOR ALL?

SCRAPPY.

I PUT MY PAWS ON HIM GOOD.

OKAY.

[cheers and applause]

'CAUSE HE--YOU KNOW,

THROUGH THE WHOLE SCENARIO,

YOU KNOW, LIKE, I MEAN--

WELL, THAT WAS MY QUESTION.

WHAT WAS YOUR INTENTION

GOING INTO IT?

BECAUSE YOU DID SAY YOU WERE

GONNA PUT YOUR PAWS ON STEVIE.

I WAS TALKING--I WAS HEATED

AT THE TIME--BUT I REALLY WAS

TRYING TO GO HOLLER AT HIM, MAKE

SURE, YOU KNOW, HE UNDERSTAND,

LIKE, THAT'S DANGEROUS.

YOU KNOW, YOU GO HOLLER AT A

CHICK YOU DON'T KNOW, CHICKS BE

HAVING 100 DUDES WITH 'EM,

YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING?

THEY--I DONE SEEN DUDES

GET THEY ASS MOBBED.

YOU FEEL ME?

JUST FOR PUTTING THEY HAND OR

TALKING TO A GIRL THE WRONG WAY.

YOU FEEL ME?

SO I JUST WANTED TO COME

HOLLER AT HIM AND LET HIM KNOW

MINE GONNA BE RESPECTED.

YOU FEEL ME?

OKAY.

FOR MY DAUGHTER, ALL UP

TO MY BABY MAMA TO MY MAMA

TO MY SISTERS, EVERYBODY.

OKAY.

SO SCRAPPY, YOU WENT INTO THIS

BECAUSE YOU WANTED STEVIE TO

APOLOGIZE TO ERICA.

MM-HMM.

BUT AS THE CONVERSATION GOT

HEATED, YOU ENDED UP CALLING

JOSELINE A BITCH.

NOT ON PURPOSE.

JUST EXPLAINING TO HIM

IF I CALLED HIS [...] A BITCH--

YOU FEEL ME?

WHICH I AM, A BITCH.

I'M THE BITCH.

OKAY.

YOU SEE WHAT I'M SAYING?

I COULDN'T HEAR HIM 'CAUSE

SHE WAS DOING ALL THAT.

YOU FEEL ME?

AND I CAN'T UNDERSTAND WHAT

SHE BE SAYING 'CAUSE SHE GOT

THAT DIALECT.

I'M A BITCH.

YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT I'M SAYING.

DIBBA, DIBBA, DIBBA.

[rolls tongue]

[laughter]

ALL RIGHT, WELL,

DO YOU FEEL THAT YOU--

OH, JOSELINE.

AND GUESS WHAT?

[indistinct speech]

DO YOU FEEL LIKE

YOU OWE JOSELINE AN APOLOGY

FOR CALLING HER A BITCH?

BUT HE SAID SHE KNOW SHE A

BITCH, SO WHY HE NEED APOLOGIZE?

DID YOU MISS THAT?

SO YOU SAY I KNOW SHE'S A

BITCH, BUT I CAN DO THAT.

I CAN DO THAT.

I WASN'T EVEN REALLY MAD AT

YOU FOR CALLING ME A BITCH.

THAT [bleep] REALLY DIDN'T JUST

THROW ME OFF.

I GOT MAD AT THE FACT THAT ERICA

STARTED TALKING LOUD TO ME.

YOU RIGHT, ERICA, YOU DIDN'T

KNOW ME AND I DIDN'T KNOW YOU.

YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO DO

ALL THAT TO ME.

YOU HAD A PROBLEM WITH STEVIE.

I WAS AT--

WAIT A MINUTE.

I WAS AT THE STUDIO--

[both talking at once]

YOU DON'T QUESTION ME...

AT ALL.

YOU QUESTION HIM.

THAT'S WHERE YOU MESSED UP AT.

BITCH, SHUT UP BEFORE I--

HOLD ON A SECOND. HOLD ON.

[all talking at once]

JUMP, BITCH!

JUMP!

OKAY.

[all talking at once]

WE TALKED ABOUT THIS.

NO, NO, NO, NO, NO.

WHOA, WHOA, WHOA, WHOA, WAIT.

GET THIS BITCH BEFORE I WHUP

THAT ASS AGAIN.

GET THAT BITCH BEFORE I WHUP

THAT ASS AGAIN.

HOW ABOUT THAT?

Y'ALL NEED TO END THAT

CONVERSATION.

I WANT TO REEL THIS BACK IN.

HOS.

LET'S TALK ABOUT WHAT

HAPPENED THAT NIGHT

SPECIFICALLY, OKAY?

ALL RIGHT.

THERE WAS SOME TALK, STEVIE,

THAT YOU ENDED UP GOING TO

THE HOSPITAL THAT NIGHT.

SCRAPPY, I KNOW THAT YOU SAID

THAT YOU PUT HIM

IN THE HOSPITAL.

TELL ME EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED

AND WHAT YOU WERE

IN THE HOSPITAL ABOUT.

AFTER WE HAD THE FIRST

INCIDENT, AFTER I SLAMMED HIM--

YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING--

IN THE BUSHES.

YOU SLAMMED ME OR EVERYBODY

FELL IN THE BUSHES

WITH THE SECURITY?

COME ON.

LET'S GET IT RIGHT, CUZ.

SO WHATEVER, YOU KNOW,

AFTER THE SECOND GO AROUND--

WASN'T YOU WOBBLING?

YEAH, YEAH, I'MA TELL YOU

WHY I WAS WOBBLING.

I'MA TELL YOU

WHY I WAS WOBBLING.

ONE HITTER QUITTER.

THAT'S WHY.

NO, NO,

IT WAS THE BACK OF THE HEAD.

[bleep], THERE WASN'T NO

HANDS PUT ON ME.

WOW.

CAN WE JUST RUN THAT BACK

FROM THE DOWN CUT?

NOT THE UPPERCUT,

BUT THE DOWN CUT.

YOU FEEL ME?

CAN WE EDIT THIS [bleep]

THE RIGHT WAY?

OH, YEAH, EDIT THIS [bleep]

THE RIGHT WAY.

'CAUSE WE CAN HONESTLY, WE

DIDN'T EVEN SEE YOUR BOY GET--

GET IT GOOD.

SIT DOWN.

YOU'RE GONNA SIT DOWN.

WE'RE GONNA SIT DOWN.

[all talking at once]

I DID WHAT I DID.

IF A [bleep] GONNA PUT ME

AND THIS [bleep] PUT ME ANYWHERE

IN THE MIDDLE ANYWHERE,

I WOULD DO IT AGAIN.

[bleep] I AIN'T--MAN,

I AIN'T SCARED OF [bleep].

REAL TALK.

SO SCRAPPY,

WE'VE HEARD FROM YOU.

WE'RE VERY CLEAR.

ERICA WASN'T THE ONLY PERSON

WHO WANTED TO SEE SCRAPPY

HANDLE STEVIE.

AS WE'VE ALREADY HEARD HER SAY,

"DON'T MESS WITH MY BABIES."

PLEASE WELCOME MOMMA DEE.

[cheers and applause]

SO MOMMA DEE, SEEING EVERYTHING

THAT'S JUST SPIRALED AND

TRANSPIRED ON THE STAGE AND

LOOKING BACK, WAS IT WORTH IT

TO YOU TO TELL SCRAPPY

TO GO HANDLE STEVIE?

WHAT HAPPENED IN THAT

SITUATION--I WASN'T THERE.

AND I DIDN'T SEE IT.

SO AND IT ESCALATED,

UNFORTUNATELY, OUT OF CONTROL.

BUT WHEN YOU'RE THE QUEEN,

AND YOU HAVE THE PRINCE, AND

THE THRONE HAS BEEN VIOLATED--

I JUST CAN'T LET PEOPLE

COME UP IN THE CASTLE

AND JUST RUN IT.

YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING?

EVERYTHING GOT TO BE IN DECENCY

AND ORDER.

IT'S GOT TO BE IN THAT ORDER.

[laughter]

THE KING HAVE TO MAINTAIN SOME

TYPE OF DIGNITY AND RESPECT

AND SOME TYPE OF CONTROL.

ALL RIGHT, YOU CAN ALWAYS

TRUST MOMMA DEE TO MAKE THE

ENERGY RIGHT IN A ROOM,

AND I THANK YOU FOR THAT

'CAUSE IT WAS VERY, YOU KNOW,

TESTY UP HERE FOR A MINUTE.

BUT LET'S JUST GO STRAIGHT TO A

FAN QUESTION.

GREEN M. FROM FACEBOOK SAYS,

"SCRAPPY IS ON PROBATION.

DID HE HEAR ANYTHING

FROM HIS PROBATION OFFICER

AFTER THE INCIDENT AIRED?"

SCRAPPY?

[laughter]

UH-OH.

[both talking at once]

THEY GETTING ALL IN YOUR

BUSINESS ON FACEBOOK.

SHE PROBABLY GONNA CALL NOW.

YOU FEEL ME?

[laughter]

ALL RIGHT, WE'VE GOT

A LOT MORE LOVE & HIP-HOP

AFTER THE BREAK.

STAY TUNED.

DON'T GO ANYWHERE.

[cheers and applause]

YOUR [bleep] IS WHAT I WANT,

AND YOUR MONEY, SO GET TO WORK.

OH, GOD.

OKAY.

WOW.

ALL RIGHT.

WOW.

YOU'RE TUNED IN

TO LOVE & HIP-HOP: ATLANTA:

THE REUNION.

I'M JOINED NOW BY JOSELINE,

STEVIE, MIMI, AND ARIANE.

AS THE SAYING GOES, TRUTH IS

STRANGER THAN FICTION.

AND NOWHERE WAS THAT MORE

EVIDENT THAN DURING THIS SEASON

IN ATLANTA.

THE MOST RIVETING DRAMA WAS

UNDOUBTEDLY THE LOVE TRIANGLE

BETWEEN STEVIE, MIMI,

AND JOSELINE.

BUT BEFORE WE DELVE INTO THAT

LITTLE MENAGE, LET'S TAKE A LOOK

BACK AT STEVIE AND MIMI

THIS SEASON.

AND HOME IS WHAT?

WHERE THE HEART IS.

[laughter]

♪ GIRL, I HOPE AND PRAY

♪ THAT LOVE TREATS YOU FAIR

[audience groaning and clapping]

THE TRUTH IS,

I LOVE THIS MAN.

BUT SOMEHOW THERE'S A DIFFERENCE

BETWEEN WHAT STEVIE SAYS

AND WHAT STEVIE DOES.

IF YOU WALK THE [bleep] OUT OF

HERE AND GET IN THAT CAR WITH

THAT BITCH AND GO TO THE STUDIO,

YOU'RE SHOWING ME WHAT THE

[bleep] YOU'RE DOING.

I'M HURT.

I'M PISSED OFF.

I'M EMBARRASSED.

I DON'T WANT TO DO [bleep]

WITH YOU MOVING [bleep] FORWARD

WITH YOU [bleep] THIS BITCH AND

YOU STILL CARRYING ON

WITH THIS BITCH.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH THAT?

IT IS HIS BABY.

GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BABY.

GET YOUR HAND OUT OF MY FACE.

BOTH OF Y'ALL

HAVE [bleep] FUN.

HE DOESN'T HAVE A REASON TO

FIGHT FOR YOU BECAUSE YOU GIVE

HIM EVERYTHING.

I HAVE HAD IT WITH STEVIE.

HE HAS PROVEN HE CAN'T BE

FAITHFUL, SO I'M MOVING ON.

YOU HURT ME

TO THE CORE.

STEVIE,

HOW'D YOU FEEL DURING THAT SCENE

HEARING MIMI SAY THOSE WORDS,

"YOU HURT ME TO THE CORE"?

IT REALLY TOUCHES ME WHEN I

FEEL THE HURT FROM HER.

I DON'T--I DON'T WANT TO SEE

THAT HURT.

I DON'T LIKE TO SEE THAT.

WELL, LET ME ASK YOU, HOW DO

YOU FEEL RIGHT NOW ABOUT MIMI?

I LOVE MIMI.

OKAY.

ARE YOU IN LOVE WITH MIMI?

I'M WORKING IT.

WE WORKING BACK AT THAT.

YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING?

OKAY.

WHY DIDN'T YOU EVER MARRY MIMI?

I MEAN, I NEVER THOUGHT

I WAS THE MARRYING TYPE.

YOU KNOW, ALL MY ANTICS, ALL THE

WAY--THE TYPE OF DUDE I AM.

YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING?

I NEVER EVEN THOUGHT THAT SHE

WOULD EVER EVEN CONSIDER THAT.

YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING?

I DIDN'T.

OKAY, BUT LET ME SAY THIS.

YOU DON'T STAY IN A RELATIONSHIP

FOR 12 YEARS, MIMI, AND NEVER

THINK ABOUT MARRIAGE.

WHAT MADE YOU STAY WITH STEVIE

FOR SO LONG IF YOU NEVER SAW HIM

AS THE MARRYING TYPE?

OUR RELATIONSHIP WAS

ON-AGAIN, OFF-AGAIN.

BUT WE ALWAYS KEPT IN TOUCH.

WE ALWAYS STAYED FRIENDS.

AND WHEN WE WEREN'T IN

RELATIONSHIPS, WHEN WE HOOKED

BACK UP, IT WAS LIKE THE FIRST

TIME ALL OVER AGAIN.

ALL RIGHT.

THOSE TIMES THAT YOU AND STEVIE

GOT BACK TOGETHER,

IN YOUR HEART, WAS IT

WITH THE INTENTION OF ONE DAY

HAVING A FAMILY,

LIVING HAPPILY EVER AFTER?

SOMEWHERE WAY...

BACK.

SOMEWHERE BACK THERE, BUT THAT

WASN'T IN THE FOREFRONT, NO.

'CAUSE WE WEREN'T AT A PLACE--

I DON'T BELIEVE YOU.

YOU DON'T?

NO.

OKAY.

YOUR OTHER PEOPLE MIGHT HAVE

WANTED TO MARRY YOU.

THAT'S NOT JOSELINE THOUGH.

I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT YOU.

OKAY, GOOD.

HOLD ON, HOLD ON, WAIT.

YOU WHAT?

I TAKE YOU FOR YOUR [bleep].

YOUR [bleep] IS WHAT I WANT

AND YOUR MONEY, SO GET TO WORK.

OH, GOD.

OKAY.

WOW.

ALL RIGHT.

WOW.

["Oohing and applause]

SEEING THE WAY THAT HE TREATS

MIMI, WHAT DO YOU THINK

ABOUT THAT?

MONA, LET ME EXPLAIN

SOMETHING TO YOU.

OKAY.

I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM

WITH MIMI.

I LOVE MIMI.

I RESPECT MIMI.

AND I'MA ALWAYS RESPECT--

[bleep] WHAT Y'ALL SAYING.

[bleep] Y'ALL SAY.

AND I DON'T GIVE A [bleep]

WHAT Y'ALL SAY.

[all talking at once]

WHY DO YOU SAY YOU LOVE MIMI?

BECAUSE I'M NOT GONNA--

BECAUSE I GOT TO LOVE HER

BECAUSE I LOVE HIM.

AND I LOVE HIM NOT--

IT'S NOT ABOUT SEX.

IT'S NOT ABOUT ANYTHING.

HE GAVE ME A CAREER.

AND I TRUST HIM,

AND I BELIEVE IN HIM.

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ME AND

MIMI IS THAT I JUST BE LIKE,

"YOU KNOW WHAT?

I'LL CURSE YOUR ASS OUT.

I'LL PUNCH YOU IN YOUR [bleep].

AND I'LL STILL BE COOL WITH YOU.

LET'S GET MONEY."

YOU DON'T THINK I CURSE HIM

OUT AND PUNCH HIS [bleep]?

BUT ALL I'M SAYING IS--

OKAY, BUT THAT'S NOT GOOD

CONFLICT RESOLUTION.

IT'S NOT.

AT THE END OF THE DAY,

IT'S ALL ABOUT HAVING MORALS.

STEVIE J. DOES NOT--

DON'T--YO,

YOU DON'T KNOW STEVIE J.

STEVIE, SHUT UP.

YO, YOU SHUT UP.

ABSOLUTELY.

[all talking at once]

STEVIE HAS NOT EVER

HAD NO MORALS, CLEARLY.

[audience chatters indistinctly]

STEVIE, WHERE YOU GOING?

WHAT JUST HAPPENED?

I'LL SIT RIGHT HERE.

AND END.

IT'S COOL.

I'M NOT WORRYING ABOUT STEVIE J.

'CAUSE HE AIN'T GONNA

NEVER BE [bleep].

THAT'S JUST HOW HE GONNA BE.

SO LET'S STOP FOR A MINUTE.

LET'S STOP--

YOU HEAR THIS BROAD

RIGHT HERE?

STEVIE, I WANT TO HEAR FROM

YOU A LITTLE BIT.

YEAH, PLEASE.

YOU LADIES

GOT TO LET STEVIE TALK.

LISTEN.

AS FAR AS I GO,

YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING?

I LOVE MIMI.

MIMI'S BEEN IN MY LIFE FOREVER,

UPS, DOWNS, INDIFFERENCE.

WE HAD A BEAUTIFUL

DAUGHTER TOGETHER.

WE GOOD.

YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING?

JOSELINE, WE WORK TOGETHER.

WE HAVE SOMETHING SPECIAL.

WE WENT THROUGH A COUPLE OF UPS

AND DOWNS, AND THEN

WITH THIS ONE RIGHT HERE--

YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING--

IT'S JUST LIKE, MAD HATE.

WHO?

OWLS? OWLS?

HEY, KNOW WHAT, STEVIE?

THIS IS MY FRIEND.

AND SHE NEEDED A SUPPORT SYSTEM.

YOU WEREN'T THERE

TO SUPPORT HER.

I'M ALWAYS THERE TO SUPPORT--

NO, YOU WEREN'T.

SO DON'T DO THAT.

DON'T GO THERE.

DON'T DO THAT.

NO, YOU WEREN'T.

OKAY.

'CAUSE IF YOU REALLY

CARED ABOUT HER,

YOU WOULD HAVE BEEN THERE.

AND THEN SHE WOULD HAVE KNOWN

ABOUT JOSELINE

AND ALL THAT [bleep].

DON'T [bleep] GO THERE, STEVIE.

DON'T GO THERE.

YOU JUST STARTED POPPING UP.

YOU IN AND OUT, SO DON'T ACT

LIKE YOU BEEN THERE.

I DIDN'T JUST

START POPPING UP.

YOU AIN'T BEEN THERE

LIKE THAT.

NO, YOU STARTED POPPING UP.

OH, YEAH?

REALLY?

I BEEN THERE.

YEAH, WHEN?

ARIANE?

ARIANE, LET'S GET THIS THING

BACK ON TRACK.

ALL RIGHT, MIMI, YOU'VE BEEN

ACCUSED OF BEING WEAK AND

PLAYING THE VICTIM.

NEVER BEEN A VICTIM.

NEVER HAVE, NEVER WILL.

BUT LOOKING BACK, MIMI, ARE

YOU EMBARRASSED THAT YOU STAYED,

ASHAMED THAT YOU STAYED?

I'M NOT EMBARRASSED OR

ASHAMED ABOUT ANYTHING.

THIS IS WHAT IT IS.

THIS IS MY LIFE.

Y'ALL GOT YOUR OPINIONS.

YOU'RE ENTITLED TO IT.

BUT THIS IS

WHAT I'M GOING THROUGH.

DON'T [bleep] JUDGE ME.

OKAY.

PERIOD.

I HEAR YOU.

[applause]

WHAT ABOUT THE CODE, STEVIE?

I MEAN, WHAT IS--ISN'T THERE

SOME THINKING THAT IF YOU'RE

GONNA DO THE DIRT, AT LEAST HAVE

THE RESPECT TO NOT FLAUNT IT IN

YOUR WOMAN'S FACE?

I WASN'T FLAUNTING IT IN HER

FACE.

YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING?

HE LIED.

I LIED.

ALL THE TIME.

WHAT ABOUT THE WHOLE IDEA OF

RESPECT FOR THE BABY MAMA?

I DO HAVE RESPECT FOR HER.

SHE KNOWS I LOVE HER.

AND SHE KNOWS I RESPECT HER.

YOU KNOW, IT JUST DON'T HELP

WHEN YOU GOT THE PEANUT GALLERY

IN HER EAR.

YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING?

"OH, THIS IS--YOU'RE THE VICTIM.

AND THIS IS"--

WHO MAKES THAT FACE?

NOBODY MAKES THAT FACE BUT YOU.

SO MIMI, SOME FANS BELIEVE

THAT YOU STAYED WITH STEVIE

BECAUSE OF THE LIFESTYLE,

BECAUSE OF HIS MONEY.

IS THAT WHY YOU STAYED WITH

STEVIE--

EXCUSE ME, MONA, I'VE BEEN

SELF-SUFFICIENT ALL MY LIFE.

OKAY.

OKAY?

GET IT RIGHT.

ALL Y'ALL ON TWITTER AND

EVERYTHING ELSE

WANTING TO [bleep] JUDGE ME,

THINKING I'M USING THIS MAN FOR

HIS [bleep] MONEY.

NEVER BEEN THE CASE.

SELF-SUFFICIENT MADE [bleep]

ALL MY LIFE.

SELF-SUFFICIENT.

[applause]

SO JOSELINE, WOULD YOU SAY

STEVIE IS YOUR SOUL MATE?

I DON'T KNOW, 'CAUSE

STEVIE'S--STEVIE'S CRAZY.

STEVIE DO WHAT HE WANTS TO DO.

AND I'M DOWN WITH IT.

WHATEVER HE WANT TO DO,

I'M DOWN WITH IT.

LIKE RIGHT HERE.

I LOOK AT MY HAND,

THIS IS HOW I LOOK AT STEVIE.

I KNOW HIM.

I KNOW WHAT HE NEEDS.

I KNOW WHAT HE DON'T LIKE.

I KNOW WHAT HE LIKES.

I KNOW WHAT MOVES HIM.

I KNOW WHAT DON'T MOVE HIM.

I KNOW HOW HE LIKES TO HAVE SEX.

YOU SEEM TO HAVE SUCH A GOOD

HANDLE ON IT.

WHAT ADVICE WOULD YOU HAVE FOR

MIMI ON HOW TO HANDLE A GUY

LIKE STEVIE?

SHE DON'T HAVE TO GIVE ME

NO ADVICE.

I'VE KNOWN THIS MAN 15 YEARS.

SHE CAN'T GIVE ME NO ADVICE ON

THIS MOTHER[bleep].

NONE.

EXACTLY.

AND YOU KNOW WHAT, MIMI?

I DON'T WANT TO GIVE YOU NO

ADVICE, 'CAUSE YOU KNOW WHY?

YOU GONNA HANDLE HIM LIKE YOU

GONNA HANDLE HIM,

AND I'M GONNA HANDLE HIM STRONG

LIKE I NEED TO HANDLE HIM.

WE'RE JUST GETTING TO THE

GOOD PART--

I WANT THAT MONEY.

STAY TUNED FOR MORE

LOVE & HIP-HOP: ATLANTA:

THE REUNION.

[cheers and applause]

ASK HIM THE QUESTION

ONCE AND FOR ALL.

AND YOU BETTER

TELL THE TRUTH.

DID YOU BELIEVE

THAT THAT WAS YOUR BABY?

[hip-hop music]

IF YOU JUST JOINED US,

THIS IS LOVE & HIP-HOP: ATLANTA:

THE REUNION.

AT THE START OF THE SEASON,

STEVIE AND JOSELINE KEPT

INSISTING THAT THEIR

RELATIONSHIP WAS STRICTLY

PLATONIC.

BUT THAT WAS BLOWN RIGHT OFF

BIG-TIME ONCE JOSELINE GOT

PREGNANT.

STEVIE'S REACTION DROVE HER TO

THE BREAKING POINT.

TAKE A LOOK.

NO FAIRY GODMOTHER

AT THIS POINT.

KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING?

WE SHOULDN'T HAVE HAD THIS

CONVERSATION, PERIOD.

THAT'S WHAT YOU REALLY, REALLY,

REALLY THOUGHT?

YOUR MANAGER?

YOU BROUGHT THIS TO ME?

WELL, WHO ELSE AM I SUPPOSED

TO TAKE IT TO?

I'M JUST SAYING

WE GOT WORK TO DO.

AND YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO HANDLE

THIS OFF THE RIP.

WHOSE BABY IS IT?

I HAVEN'T [bleep] NOBODY

FOR THE LAST SIX MONTHS BUT YOU.

I DIDN'T [bleep] NOBODY AND

GET 'EM PREGNANT; YOU DID.

I DON'T WANT TO DO THIS ANYMORE.

I JUST--I DON'T.

I'M DONE.

YOU'RE NOT WORRYING ABOUT ME

TAKING CARE OF MYSELF.

I AM.

I COOKED YOU BREAKFAST.

YOU COOKED ME BREAKFAST

AND YOU TOOK ME

TO GET A [bleep] ABORTION.

THAT'S THE LEAST

YOU COULD HAVE DONE.

HAVE YOU EVER REALLY LOVED ME,

STEVIE?

I GAVE HIM ALL OF ME.

I GAVE HIM MY HEART AND MY SOUL.

ALL HE'S EVER DONE IS BREAK ME

DOWN AND BREAK MY HEART.

[groans]

HEY.

WOW.

I REMEMBER EVERYTHING ABOUT THAT

PREGNANCY CAUGHT US ALL BY

SURPRISE.

AND WE JUST HAD TO, YOU KNOW,

FOLLOW THAT STORY.

BUT LET ME ASK YOU THIS.

WHEN YOU ENDED UP TELLING

STEVIE, DID HIS REACTION

TAKE YOU BY SURPRISE?

HELL, NO.

I KNOW THIS MOTHER[bleep] RIGHT

HERE, HE GONNA ACT THE SAME WAY

AT ALL TIMES.

AND HE'S GONNA BE STEVIE.

IT WAS MY FAULT.

I'M THE WOMAN.

I'M NOT GONNA BLAME IT ON HIM.

I'M NOT GONNA BLAME IT

ON NOBODY ELSE.

BUT IT TAKES TWO PEOPLE TO

GET PREGNANT.

MY POINT IS, THE FACT THAT HE

QUESTIONED WHO THE FATHER WAS.

I MEAN, DID THAT HURT?

AT THE TIME, IT HURT,

BUT I KNOW ONE THING.

STEVIE, HE DOES EVERYBODY

LIKE THAT.

HE DOES HER LIKE THAT.

SHE'S BEEN AROUND 15 YEARS.

HE AIN'T DO ME LIKE THAT.

HE DIDN'T DO ME LIKE THAT.

LISTEN.

HE GOT FIVE KIDS.

WHY YOU WORRIED

ABOUT MY KIDS?

HE GOT A 17-YEAR-OLD KID.

HE GOT A 14-YEAR-OLD.

YOU JUST HAD A BABY

TWO YEARS AGO.

BUT JOSELINE,

FIRST OF ALL, I'VE KNOWN STEVIE

FOR 15 YEARS, OKAY?

BUT YOU SAY--

STEVIE HAS TEENAGE CHILDREN.

HE HAD HIS KIDS

BEFORE WE GOT TOGETHER

AS A COUPLE.

LET'S BE CLEAR.

OKAY, SO LET ME HEAR FROM

STEVIE REAL QUICK, BECAUSE

STEVIE, HONESTLY, WATCHING

YOUR REACTION TO THAT PREGNANCY,

YOU CAME OFF LIKE A JERK.

I'M JUST KEEPING IT REAL

WITH YOU.

YOU DID.

WHEN YOU GO BACK AND WATCH

THAT, IS THERE ANYTHING THAT YOU

WOULD HAVE DONE DIFFERENTLY?

YEAH.

I WOULD HAVE, UM...

I WOULD HAVE PRETTY MUCH TALKED

TO HER A LITTLE DIFFERENTLY.

I WAS ABRASIVE.

I WAS HARSH.

YOU KNOW, I DIDN'T TAKE INTO

CONSIDERATION ANYTHING SHE WAS

GOING THROUGH AT THE TIME, SO

YES, I WAS A JERK.

AND I ADMIT IT.

OKAY, SO WHEN YOU DENIED

BEING THE FATHER OR EVEN WHEN

YOU QUESTIONED WHO THE FATHER

WAS, WAS THAT BECAUSE YOU KNEW

THAT YOU HAD BEEN LYING TO US

ALL ALONG?

OR WAS IT BECAUSE YOU ACTUALLY

WERE QUESTIONING IT?

SHE SAID SHE WAS WITH A BALL

PLAYER.

THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID.

I'M NOT GONNA ARGUE WITH YOU

ABOUT WHO BABY IT WAS.

YOU KNOW WHO BABY IT WAS.

MIMI, YOU KNOW

WHO BABY IT WAS TOO.

SO GUESS WHAT?

[all talking at once]

HOW I KNOW WHO BABY IT WAS?

BOTH OF Y'ALL KNOW

WHO BABY IT WAS, SO--

HOW I KNOW WHO BABY IT WAS?

I DON'T KNOW.

WAIT A MINUTE NOW. BE REAL.

YOU KNOW DAMN WELL THAT WAS YOUR

BABY, AND DON'T ACT LIKE IT

WEREN'T.

LET ME ASK THE QUESTION.

NO, NO, NO, I'M JUST GONNA

ASK HIM THE QUESTION

ONCE AND FOR ALL.

AND YOU BETTER

TELL THE TRUTH.

DID YOU BELIEVE

THAT THAT WAS YOUR BABY?

YES.

OKAY.

THANK YOU.

END OF STORY.

BE A MAN.

ALL RIGHT, WE'RE GONNA MOVE

ON FROM THIS SUBJECT.

LET ME ASK YOU ANOTHER QUESTION.

WHEN YOU GUYS WERE IN THE

MEETING WHEN JOSELINE WAS

TELLING MIMI ABOUT THE

PREGNANCY, WHY THE HELL DID YOU

STILL HAVE THAT PREGNANCY TEST

IN YOUR BACK POCKET?

I WANTED TO ASK THAT.

OKAY.

WHY?

I HAD THE JOINT IN MY POCKET.

I THOUGHT YOU WENT HOME

TO GO GET CHANGED.

STOP LYING.

YOU'RE JUST NASTY.

YOU'RE JUST NASTY AND YOU GO ON

WALKING AROUND WITH PREGNANCY

TEST LIKE [bleep] [bleep].

AND THAT'S [bleep] DISGUSTING.

OKAY.

MIMI, I DON'T EVEN HAVE TO ASK

YOU WHAT YOU THOUGHT ABOUT IT,

'CAUSE I THINK YOU MADE IT

PRETTY CLEAR.

SHE THREW UP.

LET'S GO TO A FAN QUESTION.

UH, JEANIE H. FROM TWITTER

ASKED, "STEVIE, DID YOU FORCE

JOSELINE TO TERMINATE

THE PREGNANCY?"

NO, OF COURSE NOT.

I JUST MADE A SUGGESTION.

YOU DIDN'T MAKE NO

SUGGESTION, 'CAUSE IF I WANTED

TO HAVE YOUR BABY,

I WOULD HAVE HAD IT.

BUT YOU KNOW WHAT?

I WASN'T GONNA HAVE NO BABY WITH

NO [...] THAT GOTS FIVE KIDS.

THAT'S WHY

I DIDN'T HAVE YOUR BABY.

OH, YEAH?

BUT YOU ASKED ME TO MARRY YOU.

THAT'S FIRST.

THAT'S FOR--OF COURSE I WOULD

MARRY YOU NOW.

[...], YOU ABOUT TO MAKE A WHOLE

BUNCH OF MONEY.

WHY WOULDN'T I MARRY YOU?

[laughter]

IF YOU ASKED ME TO MARRY YOU

RIGHT NOW, I'M GONNA SAY "HELL,

YEAH, MIMI, YOU WANT TO JOIN?"

LET'S GET THIS CHANGED.

WHAT YOU TALKING ABOUT?

WELL, LET ME

ASK YOU THIS, JOSELINE.

AT THE TIME, IF STEVIE HAD SAID,

"LET'S BE A FAMILY.

LET'S HAVE THIS BABY"--

NO, NO.

AND I'LL PUT THAT ON MY LIFE.

GOD COULD STRIKE ME RIGHT NOW.

HELL, NO.

NOT BECAUSE HE HAD FIVE KIDS.

IT WAS MORE BECAUSE I WAS NOT

READY AND BECAUSE I CHOSE MY

CAREER MORE THAN I CHOSE

ANYTHING ELSE.

[bleep] THAT HO WHO THINKS ABOUT

ME A DIFFERENT WAY.

I'M A WOMAN OF GOD.

I CURSE; I [bleep].

YES, YES, I AM A WOMAN OF GOD.

I'M A WOMAN OF GOD, SO [bleep]

Y'ALL THAT DON'T BELIEVE IT.

AND GOD KNOWS MY HEART.

I'M A WOMAN OF GOD.

JOSELINE, CAN I JUST SAY

SOMETHING?

YES, I AM A WOMAN OF GOD.

YOU CANNOT SAY THE WORD GOD

AND ALL THE OTHER THINGS--

YES, I CAN.

NO, YOU CAN'T.

YES, I CAN SAY IT.

"I'M A WOMAN OF GOD."

[all talking at once]

LET'S GO TO BREAK.

WE'LL BE BACK WITH MORE

LOVE & HIP-HOP: ATLANTA:

THE REUNION.

I'M JUST SAYING.

STEVIE, CAN YOU EVER TRULY

LET MIMI GO?

[hip-hop music]

WE'RE BACK WITH

LOVE & HIP-HOP: ATLANTA:

THE REUNION.

WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE SEASON'S

TORTURED LOVE TRIANGLE BETWEEN

STEVIE, MIMI, AND JOSELINE.

MIMI, YOU AND STEVIE HAVE BEEN

BACK AND FORTH SO MANY TIMES.

DO YOU THINK IT'S REALLY OVER

THIS TIME?

STEVIE IS THE FATHER

OF MY CHILD.

I WOULD NEVER SIT HERE AND TELL

YOU NEVER, NO, NOTHING.

WE'RE NOT TOGETHER RIGHT NOW.

KEEP IT DOWN.

THAT'S JUST IT.

OKAY, THAT'S FAIR.

AND STEVIE, CAN YOU EVER TRULY

LET MIMI GO

AND LET HER MOVE ON

WITH HER LIFE?

NO.

[laughter]

ALL RIGHT, THEN LET ME ASK

YOU ANOTHER QUESTION.

WHAT'S THE STATUS RIGHT NOW

BETWEEN YOU AND JOSELINE?

ARE YOU TWO A COUPLE?

NO, THE STATUS--

WAIT, WHOA, WHOA, WAIT.

DON'T EVEN ANSWER THAT QUESTION.

HOLD THAT THOUGHT.

THANKS SO MUCH FOR WATCHING PART

ONE OF LOVE & HIP-HOP: ATLANTA:

THE REUNION.

AND IF YOU THOUGHT THIS WAS

GOOD, JUST WAIT FOR PART TWO.

STAY TUNED.

FLEX, TAKE US OUT.

[hip-hop music and applause]
