[woman] Previously on "Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta"...

So you were willing to be that sacrificial lamb

to bleach your skin... Wait a minute, Mimi...

You've never been in my shoes!

You're right, I don't get it.

You are not a dark-skinned girl, Mimi!

[bleep] you! Bye, bitch! [bleep] you, too!

She's using her platform as white-faced

to make her point.

Because if I stay black face,

you're not gonna get the point, Mimi.

No, man, I disagree with that.

Bitches, you seen this [bleep] from Spice? Have a look.

Hold on. Damn...

Girl, it doesn't look like it's her skin.

Spice done went white.

I wanna get married and then be ready

to have my baby boy.

The probability of producing an embryo,

it ranges from about 15 to 20%.

The other day, you on the radio with your ex.

You invited him to our engagement party?

It's the engagement party. Look at that!

You know what it is. You love me the way that you say you do,

it should be a problem-- like, you should be able

to go to a party that your ex threw.

I wanna ask y'all, I know y'all got your invitations

to Karlie's engagement thing.

I have not gotten one yet.

I was wondering why I wasn't invited.

In the past, when I brought my relationships around you,

you were so touchy-feely.

But you [bleep] Hiram's [bleep], so what's the difference?

[Scrapp] Yo, booty, what's up?

[Karen] Those tomatoes are quite big.

Can you chop them a little smaller, please?

Wait, the ones that are already chopped?

Yes.

[Moniece] It's always a good idea

to get in good with Mom Dukes,

but Scrapp's been behind bars

for the majority of our "situationship,"

so it makes more sense

that I would spend more time with KK

than I have with him.

What was Scrapp like as a baby?

When he was little, he was something else.

Like, he had so much substance.

And when he became an adult, I don't [bleep] know.

[laughing] I...

But anyway, you and Scrapp,

what's your overall plan?

So I've been doing what I can, you know,

to make sure that he knows that I'm like all-in.

I'm both [bleep]-matized

and I think that he's got a great heart.

You know what? I don't want you to share everything with me,

'cause I'm trying to make the tacos,

and I don't feel like I'm gonna get [bleep] done

with all this kind of conversation.

Okay, well, let's move on.

I found out that Tiarra

threw him like a halfway house party.

I had just seen him, and he didn't tell me

about the [bleep] party.

Scrapp and I are still trying to figure out

where our situationship is headed.

But what I do know is that communication is a huge part of that.

I can't help but wonder

if he's actually told Tiarra about me yet,

since our conversation when I picked him up

from the halfway home party.

Hello...

Oh, look at you!

Smelling good, smelling good.

Mwah, mwah, mwah! Somebody come give me a hug.

Mwah!

Mmm... Yep, you did.

[Scrapp] Finally, I got some tacos.

[Karen] Mm-hmm.

Look like a little taco bar over here.

Smell good, look good.

[Scrapp] What's up?

Well, I was gon' ask...

how was the damn party?

Well, it's not even about the party anymore.

Because Tiarra disrespected my whole household.

She come over, and then she put her hands on him.

Like what? Punched him in the face, in the nose.

[Moniece] What's that serious?

Why are you telling my business?

[Karen] What did you do?

I got up and walked away.

[Moniece] Tiarra putting her hands on Scrapp

is wrong on a lot of levels,

and I'm also shocked that Scrapp failed to mention it.

We were gonna do better at communicating.

But this is just as disappointing.

[Karen] Any type of anything like that

can cause you to be gone 20 years.

And your kids be grown when you get home.

Can I talk to Scrapp for just five minutes.

Hearing about Tiarra laying her hands on Scrapp

makes me [bleep] sick.

That kind of behavior can jeopardize Scrapp's freedom.

This isn't the first damn time that Tiarra done showed her ass,

but I bet you it's gonna be her damn last.

If that [bleep] had have went any kind of other way,

it could have been a lot of other things

that came out of this.Right.

Tiarra has now officially once again crossed the line,

and I'ma deal with it.

You don't have to concern yourself with that, Dukes.

It's all good. Let me handle it.

♪♪

[Mimi] Hi, girls!

[Pooh] Hey, hi, beautiful. What's up, boo?

You look so beautiful. Thank you.

Oh, that jacket is everything!

I will share that.

[Mimi] All of this stuff with Spice

wanting to turn herself into a whole Caucasian woman

has got me thoroughly confused.

Pooh called me after she saw Spice in all whiteface,

so I told her to come meet us so we could talk this stuff out.

So I said let me take Spice down to Auburn Avenue.

I felt bad because we got into it.

She was like really saying she was considering

doing this... Bleaching, yeah.

For real? She was like,

"This is what we do in our country," and--

and I'm like, wait a minute--

They do that? That's so...

I'm so confused. It's a thing.

My thing was, "You are saying you're comfortable in your skin

and all of that, but then you turned--"

And so I'm kinda like... what's the deal? Yeah.

I really wasn't understanding where she was coming from,

and vice-versa.

[Rasheeda] Yeah. So I wanted to show her,

you know, black people, our culture here in America.

That meeting with Spice in the Madame CJ Walker Museum

did not go as I expected.

I was hoping to have her understand

that she doesn't have to do something drastic,

but that whole thing just backfired.

I know skin bleaching takes a while,

but she looks like she's trying to go all the way in.

So I don't know what we're gonna see--

Black Spice or White Spice for a while.

I'm clueless.

You know, she's supposed to come to the engagement party, so...

Right, so we gonna see who comin'.

Girl... who's comin'?

I think I should go crash her engagement party.

Like, what y'all think about that?

Bitch, no. No.

[laughter] Like-- like--

She is stooping so low.

I was out at the mall, and I'm like, okay, let me stop by.

And she was just like, "You know, I'm getting married now,

"and I'm trying to... better my life.

"And I wanna leave all the old friendship

that badly influenced me, partying all--"

Well, Karlie have been changing.

She have not been the same Karlie.

Mimi, can you vouch for that? Yeah, she been...

staying to herself. And, Rasheeda, she hasn't been calling us...

But that's what you-- Yo' ass don't need to be doing that [bleep].

She go say, "Don't nobody care about your husband.

That was back in the '80s."

And I said, "You cared about him when his [bleep] was in your [bleep]."

Ooh! And then everything went left from there.

Then she gonna turn it around with this whole blog thing

and say I put it in the blogs.

First of all--

Well, did y'all sleep together?

Yes, we did.

[carrot crunches]

[Pooh] Only reason I said that

because she threw it out there first.

I would have never-- [Sierra] So Karlie put in the blogs

that she slept with you and your husband.

Yes, because I wouldn't do it.

My husband wouldn't do it. This is her game,

'cause this is the stuff she has done in the past

while I have been with her. Mm-hmm.

[Sierra] We all know our friend.Yeah.

She's extra as hell.

Yeah. She will over-exaggerate any story.

Definitely.

But her heart is made of gold.

[Rasheeda] Regardless to whatever's going on with y'all,

this is a moment in her life that is a happy moment for her.

Don't come [bleep] it up.

[Mimi] Karlie, Pooh, and I have been friends for almost a decade.

I know Pooh lives a very free lifestyle.

It could be possible that Karlie

got a little freaky with them one night.

But the Karlie I know would have said,

"Yeah, it happened, and so what next?"

This is something big for her.

Don't-- like, meet her at the diner on the corner or some [bleep].

All right, thank y'all for the good advice.

[Dr. Dourron] Hey, Karlie. How are ya?

[Karlie] Hey...

Good to see ya. Good to see you.

[Karlie] When Dr. Dourron told me

that we had to kick the IVF process into high gear,

Mo and I decided we don't wanna wait.

Now, like we talked about before,

it may take several cycles of retrieving the eggs

from the ovaries in order to create

six to eight embryos.

Gotcha.

To have the best chance of creating a normal baby boy,

we need to create an embryo fast.

And then we'll freeze it, 'cause I don't wanna get pregnant

till after I'm married.

Once we find that we have a normal male embryo,

then that's when we can prepare for the transfer.

[Mo] 50 years from now,

we gotta explain to him like, "Man, you was a project."

No! He was.

He was a science project. Don't you ever say that.

[laughing]

Uhh!

So, the day I ovulate,

I need to come in

and so that you guys could take the eggs, right?

What if we have sex?

That is where the age of the woman...

Mm-hmm....comes into play.

If we don't test the embryo and you get pregnant naturally,

you have a higher chance of it being a miscarriage.

Ohh...

[Mo] Okay.

It was a pleasure meeting you.

Thank you. I'm gonna go sign more paperwork.

♪♪

So, um...

I wanted to talk to you about this,

since Maurice is not here. Okay.

I'm still on my period.

And it's been over a month now.

Okay, so that's--

First of all, that's not normal.

Best thing for us to do is let's do some blood tests...

Okay....so we can sort out

what's going on.

It could be a sign of an early miscarriage.

Okay? Okay. All right.

[Karlie] Ever since we started this IVF process,

I never imagined getting pregnant naturally

would have been a problem.

So we haven't been using any protection.

Mo and I want this baby boy so much

that a miscarriage would be absolutely devastating.

So... let me go get the nurse,

and we're gonna get some blood testing done, okay?

Okay.All right.

Just hang tight for just a minute, okay?

[Spice] So my Instagram live video

with my white makeup look, it got a big response.

It was supposed to bring awareness

to the issue of discrimination within the black community.

I have to break through those barriers,

for the sake of my career and the sake of my kids.

That's hard. I [bleep] with that.

That [bleep] almost made me cry.

All the questions that everybody have,

if you watch the video, the message is in the video.

And if they can't respect it then it ain't for them to understand.

The only thing with it is that it's a bold move.

Since I released the picture,

a lot of people have this misconception

that you're gonna make the dark-skinned girls

feel like they need to bleach.

But my thing is, black people,

they keep telling you, "Oh, you're too black."

Right.And I get message from

all type of dark-skinned girls.

"You know, I look up to you

"because you are a dark-skinned girl

"and I see you just making moves,

"and I just feel so, you know,

down and depressed because what I'm going through."

It's us black people that's doing it against each other. Right.

So that's my thing. Discrimination is human nature.

And we don't even know it.

When I was a little girl, I got picked on

because my ponytail was short.

So at school, they used to drag me.

So I said to myself, if I ever had a baby daddy...

he was gonna be Indian or another color.

Really? So my child won't have to go through that bull[bleep].

As a little girl, I was a pretty little brown-skinned girl.

And a lot of my friends were fair-skinned.

Even though my teachers was nice to me,

they always was nicer to Megan or Brittany.

[Shekinah] So when I first seen Spice

looking like a whole white woman,

I'm like, "What in the hell is going on?"

But now that I see it's a whole movement behind it,

girl, I'm walking with you.

I get where Spice coming from.

I wanted an Indian baby daddy so my children could have

beautiful long hair.

I'm just glad Spice

did not go through with bleaching her skin.

It has held me back a lot because I feel like

I should have really reached further than I am right now.

And that's-- that's the honest truth.

But you big, you number one now in the country.

I know, but I could be bigger.

I could break more in American audience a long time ago.

So you think it's because of your color.

What else? It's not because of my talent.

My struggles as an artist is related to my skin color, and I know it.

But it's not just my career.

In my everyday life, time and again I feel like

I'm being treated differently,

and I just hope that this message will help to change that.

You still thinking about doing it for real?

Uh, maybe.

Get your mother[bleep] ass

gone with this stupid-ass [bleep].

But for what? Like, you are beautiful.

I know. So what's the reason of doing it?

I'm doing it for a cause.

I'm doing it to create awareness.

I'm doing it so black community

can understand that they are leading other people to bleach!

I have the voice. I have the platform.

So I have to do it.

I think you need to stay your color and keep this [bleep] going.

Period.

[Spice] So I feel like the song,

the video, the Insta live video,

all of them, they are really the right steps

in the right direction.

But me don't think it's enough

to bring my point across to the world.

Me feel like bleaching my skin is the only way

to get my point across in a meaningful way.

So, are you going to Karlie's engagement party?

Yeah, you gotta be careful,

'cause I saw an invitation.

Where they having the party at,

there's a lot of electrical lines.

And with them bees, I don't wanna shock [bleep].

[laughing] You're so lame!

I'm not convinced that this is the right way

to properly introduce Kendra to the rest of the world.

But what I am convinced about is she is not

gonna have it no other way, so... here we go.

Baby, I don't know what's going on.

What? What you talking about?

I feel like I just came down with that 72-hour flu.

Supposed to last three days.

Why are you so nervous? I ain't nervous.

What's the issue? What's--

Ain't no issue,

I just don't think, like, we should go.

The whole history of me and Karlie, man.

You know, her inviting us to that.

I don't know if it's in good faith.

Well, it don't matter. That's in the past.

She's moving on, you have moved on.

We already RSVP'd.

We going to the engagement party.

Why you so pressed on going to this party?

You-- you frustrate me when you do that!

You frustrate me when you commit to something,

and then you-- you making an excuse you don't wanna go!

What are you hiding? Like, seriously.

Is somebody gonna jump out and pull me to the side

and tell me, like, you know, fill me on something I don't know?

I wanna go to Karlie's engagement party

for a lot of reasons, one of them being

I feel like I wanna see if it's a reason

why he's kept me hidden, because him not wanting to go

has made very suspicious.

Look... you deserve the absolute truth.

I thought I already had the truth.

Just listen to me.

When me and you first met, you know what I'm saying,

there were moments when our relationship...

overlapped Karlie and my interaction.

♪♪

What you mean "interaction"?

Like y'all... relationship?

I mean, it was moments where, you know...

So it-- We still communicated...

Yo, you and I was just friends for a long time.

It don't matter, the fact that you just now telling me

that there was overlap in our relationship...

But it wasn't overlap like, "I'm out to dinner

with you and then..." You know what?

It don't matter, though.

But that's something you still should have told me,

and that's something that still could rear its head at a later moment.

[Kendra] Overlap? Like, what is he talking about?

I that Jasiel was on a trip with his friends

last year in Houston, and I also know that Karlie was there.

Jasiel always told me it was him and a bunch of friends together,

and that nothing happened.

But I do feel like I have to get all the facts

before I completely go in.

I just wish that you would have told me, Jasiel.

That's all I'm saying.

I just wish you wouldn't be so pressed

about going to this party,

so neither one of us can look stupid.

Why can't we go? Kendra...

If you know that that's what I like to do,

if you know I wanna get out and be out and about with you

and be, you know... Kendra. Baby.

...loving and affectionate with you in public,

then why not do that?

I do my part to make sure you're happy,

make sure you feel loved.

I do not ask you for much.

And I feel like part of your love and affection towards me,

outwardly display of that would be...

us going out and having a good time.

Something is beginning to tell me

I really can't win too many arguments with this woman.

I mean, she is an attorney.

All I can do is nod my head

and hope this does not turn into a complete disaster.

Kendra, baby, let me tell you something.

If this was Mortal Kombat, you just two-pieced me,

hit me with a combo, and finished me.

In two seconds, you just made me realize,

you know what, you're right.

And in all actuality,

if that's all you want to be happy,

I'm willing to go.

I'ma give my woman what she wants.

Thank you.
