I

I WAS

I WAS THINKIN'

I WAS THINKIN' THAT

I WAS THINKIN' THAT WE

I WAS THINKIN' THAT WE CAN

I WAS THINKIN' THAT WE CAN TRY

I WAS THINKIN' THAT WE CAN TRY TO

I WAS THINKIN' THAT WE CAN TRY TO DO

A BRAXTON ALBUM WITHOUT TONI.

REMEMBER THAT GUY IN THE BAND

THAT I KEPT FLIRTIN' WITH ALL THE TIME?

WE HAD AN ORAL TRANSACTION.

AND I'M JUST WONDERIN' IF I SHOULD TELL GABE.

DON'T-- NO!

I HAVE TO GIVE YOU BIG SISTER ADVICE.

MAYBE YOU GUYS SHOULD SEPARATE.

I NEVER SAID MY LIFE WAS PERFECT.

NO, BUT YOU ATTACK EVERYBODY ELSE'S LIFE.

YOU WANT US TO APOLOGIZE TO YOU FOR WHAT?

HOW YOU FEEL.

I'M NEVER GONNA APOLOGIZE.

WE ARE THE BRAXTONS AND YOU'LL SEE

THAT WE ARE NOT LIKE AN ORDINARY FAMILY

TONI TRACI TOWANDA TRINA TAMAR AND MISS E

WILL TEACH YOU A THING OR TWO

ON BRAXTON FAMILY VALUES

SHO' TIRED OF WAITIN' ON FOLKS.

- WAITING LONG? - YOU'RE NOT WAITIN'.

- HOW LONG WERE YOU WAITING? - ABOUT A HALF HOUR.

YOU WERE NOT WAITING A HALF AND HOUR.

OKAY, FIVE MINUTES.

A FEW WEEKS AGO, MY THREE SISTERS AND I PERFORMED

IN NEW YORK CITY AND IT WENT SO WELL,

AND I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE A GOOD TIME

TO GET TOGETHER AND TALK ABOUT OUR MUSIC CAREERS.

I HAD CALLED THIS LUNCHEON BECAUSE I WAS THINKIN'

THAT MAYBE WE CAN TRY TO DO A SONG

TO SEE IF WE'RE READY TO DO A BRAXTON ALBUM WITHOUT TONI.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT TAMAR'S TALKIN' ABOUT.

SHE ALREADY PUT A HOLD ON THE BRAXTON FAMILY ALBUM.

IT'S LIKE SHE LIKE PLAYIN' WITH MY EMOTIONS.

NOW YOU WANNA TALK ABOUT, "LET'S DO THIS AGAIN"?

- TRINA. - TRINA.

WHY THE CHANGE OF HEART?

YOU KNOW, I DON'T NECESSARILY THINK THAT

ME DOIN' A SOLO ALBUM SHOULD STOP THE BRAXTON'S ALBUM,

BECAUSE YOU DOIN'-- TRINA'S DOIN' A POP ALBUM.

DID SHE TELL Y'ALL?

PUT YOUR HANDS IN THE AIR IF YOU'RE DOIN' A POP ALBUM.

WHAT YOU SAY, HUH-- WHAT-WHAT?

THAT'S NICE.

AND MAYBE TRINA LET US OPEN UP FOR HER BAND.

WHO KNOWS-- WE MIGHT BE LUCKY.

I MIGHT.

DOIN' THIS ALBUM WITH MY SISTERS,

THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE CAN HAVE

THAT'S OURS THAT WE CAN SAY,

"YOU KNOW WHAT, WE'RE NOT 'DOO-WHOP-POP-POP' CHICKS.

"WE'RE THE BRAXTON'S," AND THAT'S A GREAT THING.

LIKE, I BELIEVE OUR FANS DESERVE THAT,

AND I BELIEVE WE OWE IT TO OURSELVES

TO EVEN GIVE IT A TRY.

I'M NOT OPPOSED TO TRYING IT, SEE WHERE IT GOES.

HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT IT, TRACI?

I NEED TO CHECK MY SCHEDULE.

HOW CAN TRACI SAY LET'S CHECK HER SCHEDULE,

WHEN SHE WAS THE MAIN ONE SAYIN',

"I-- WE AIN'T GONNA DO NO BRAXTON ALBUM!

"WE AIN'T GONNA DO NO BRAXTON ALBUM!

"WE AIN'T GONNA DO NO BRAXTON ALBUM!"

I HAD TO--

"WE AIN'T GONNA DO NO BRAXTON ALBUM!

"WE AIN'T GONNA DO NO BRAXTON ALBUM!"

YOU WERE THE MAIN ONE-- YOU WERE THE MAIN ONE.

IT'S TRUE- IT'S TRUE-IT'S TRUE.

I JUST DON'T WANNA GET MY HOPES UP.

I'VE BEEN WORKIN' MY TAIL OFF,

STARTING MY CAREER AGAIN, BEING A COSMETOLOGIST.

SO, THEY CAN'T EXPECT ME TO JUST DROP EVERYTHING

AND NOT THINK ABOUT MY CAREER.

SO, I JUST THINK THEY NEED TO BE A LITTLE BIT SYMPATHETIC

TO MY LITTLE SITUATION.

SO, TOWANDA AND TRINA, DO Y'ALL WANNA DO IT?

I'M GAME-- I'M GAME FOR TRYIN' IT.

I'LL GIVE IT A SHOT.

IT WON'T-IT WON'T HURT BUT TO TRY.

BUT TRACI, I WILL-- I HAVE TO SAY THIS,

BUT YOU CAN'T GET UPSET IF THE THREE OF US GO FORTH

AND WE ARE BRAXTON'S REINCARNATE

AND YOU WERE HERE AND HAD THE SAME OPPORTUNITY TO REVISIT...

TRACI, TOWANDA, MYSELF, AND TAMAR HAD AN OPPORTUNITY

TO SIGN A RECORD CONTRACT IN THE LATE 90s.

TRACI GOT PREGNANT AT THE TIME WE WERE SUPPOSED TO SIGN.

TRACI'S VERY INFURIATED, STILL TO THIS DAY,

THAT THE THREE OF US HAD THE OPPORTUNITY

TO HAVE OUR CONTRACT AND SHE WAS NOT AFFORDED

THAT SAME OPPORTUNITY.

IS IT-IS IT THAT YOU DON'T WANNA BE LET DOWN

OR IS IT THE COMMITMENT?

I DON'T WANT TO GET, "WELL, TRACI,

"YOU GOT TO DECIDE WHICH ONE YOU WANNA DO,

"EITHER YOU PUT YOUR FULL COMMITMENT IN THIS

"OR YOU PUT YOUR FULL COMMITMENT IN THIS."

BUT TAMAR AND TRINA JUST SAID THAT EVEN THOUGH

WE MAY TRY TO DO THE BRAXTON ALBUM,

THEY'RE STILL COMMITTED TO DO THEIR OWN INDIVIDUAL THINGS.

YOU'RE STILL GONNA BE COMMITTED

TO DO YOUR OWN INDIVIDUAL THING,

AND THAT'S DOING HAIR.

I'M DEFINITELY GONNA BE COMMITTED TO DO MY OWN THING,

WHICH IS ACTING.

WHAT I'M SAYING IS-- - RIGHT.

WE'RE NOT SAYING, "ABSOLUTELY LEAVE PLAN B,"

WE'RE NOT SAYING THAT.

LET'S JUST KINDA SEARCH AND SEE IF PLAN A IS GOING TO WORK.

THERE'S NO REASON NOT TO TRY.

- BUT LET'S JUST TOAST. - I'LL TOAST.

- LET'S TOAST-- - TO ME!

- I'M NOT TOASTIN' TO THAT. - OH.

- LET'S TOAST TO... - TO PRAYER!

AND HOPERIZATION.

AND TO EXPLORING THE OPTION OF DOING A BRAXTON'S ALBUM.

SONG.

I'M NOT SURE IF I'M EXCITED ABOUT DOING THIS ALBUM.

IT MIGHT BE SUCCESSFUL IF WE DECIDE TO COME TOGETHER

AND LEAVE OUR MOUTHS AT THE DOOR, NOT OUR SINGIN' VOICES,

BUT OUR MOUTHS AT THE DOOR, IT MIGHT WORK.

- MMM! - STAY WITH IT!

MOMMY FLEW FROM ATLANTA TO L.A.

TO JOIN ME AND MY SISTERS.

I REALLY WANT TO HAVE A HEART-TO-HEART TALK WITH HER

ABOUT US DOIN' THE BRAXTON FAMILY ALBUM.

- OOH! - YES.

HOW DID THAT WORK?

I DON'T KNOW HOW IT WORKS.

- YOU GOTTA PUSH "POWER." - OKAY, I DID.

WHAT THE WORLD IS THIS ON YOUR BUTT!

YOU'RE SO SILLY!

NO, LORD JESUS, MINE IS GONNA MAKE ME USE WORDS.

WE GOTTA GET USED TO IT.

SEE, I HAD THE SEAT ON THE BUM-BUM.

I DIDN'T LIKE THAT-- THAT WASN'T A GOOD FEELING.

- SO, TRAY? - UH-HUH.

YOU KNOW WHAT I WAS THINKIN', RIGHT?

WHAT?

SINCE TONI'S NOT DOIN' THE ALBUM, MAYBE I SHOULD DO IT.

MOMMY WANTS TO SING WITH US ON THE ALBUM.

WHY?

DO THE ALBUM? - YEAH.

- WITH ALL OF US? - YEAH.

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

WELL, I GOTTA TALK TO THE SISTERS,

BUT I'LL BE-I'LL GO TALK TO 'EM.

I'LL TALK TO 'EM AND, YOU KNOW.

WELL, WHAT SONG DO YOU THINK?

NO, TRACI.

SOMETHING REALLY MODERN, A LITTLE FUNKY,

BUT YET A LITTLE, YOU KNOW, OLD.

UM, HYMNS, PERHAPS. - MMM-HMM-- YEAH.

NOT HIP-HOP. - OH, I KNOW THAT.

THAT'S WHY I SAY-- - BUT LIKE JAZZ STUFF.

RIGHT.

I WASN'T EXPECTING TO DO ANY KIND OF INSPIRATIONAL JAZZ.

I THINK IT WOULD BE VERY INAPPROPRIATE,

MOMMY START SINGIN' THE KIND OF MUSIC WE LIKE TO SING.

MAYBE SOMETHING, LIKE, "JESUS, JESUS," YOU KNOW?

YOU KNOW, THAT TYPE OF THING.

WHAT DOES SHE WANT US TO DO?

I-I MEAN, ARE WE GONNA DO A GOSPEL ALBUM?

I THINK IT WOULD BE DIFFERENT.

- IT WOULD BE. - WHAT YOU THINK?

YEAH.

YOU KNOW, RATHER THAN A TRADITIONAL SINGING.

RIGHT.

I THINK DOIN' AN ALBUM WITH MY GIRLS

WOULD BE A GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR ME

TO SPEND A LOT OF TIME, EXTRA TIME, WITH THEM.

I WOULD LIKE TO THAT.

YOU DO HAVE A BEAUTIFUL VOICE.

WE GOT IT FROM YOU. - THAT'S WHAT I SAY.

MMM-HMM.

YOU DON'T THINK YOUR SISTERS WILL LAUGH AT ME?

THEY WOULD LAUGH, MOST DEFINITELY.

YOU KNOW WHAT, WHEN YOU GET A CERTAIN AGE,

YOU DON'T GIVE A RAT'S SNAKE BEHIND WHAT PEOPLE SAY.

IF THAT'S WHAT MOMMY WANNA DO, I GUESS I...

WILL SUPPORT HER.

YOU'RE LAUGHIN'-- LET'S KEEP IT REAL.

THAT IS THE TRUTH.

I CAN SHAME THE DEVIL-- THAT IS THE TRUTH.

HI.

IS THIS HEADBAND?

YOU'RE NOT GONNA WEAR ANOTHER HEADBAND, ARE YOU?

'CAUSE THE TIME YOU WORE ONE, IT DIDN'T WORK THAT WELL.

I'M NOT GONNA SAY NOTHIN'.

TRINA IS INVITING ME AND TAMAR TO GO TO

A BOUTIQUE WITH HER.

I KNEW IT WAS SOMETHIN' ON TRINA'S MIND.

SO, TRINA, WHAT'S GOIN' ON WITH YOU?

WELL, I HAVE A DILEMMA THAT I NEED TO TALK TO YOU GUYS ABOUT.

WHAT IS IT?

REMEMBER THAT GUY IN THE BAND

THAT I KEPT FLIRTIN' WITH ALL THE TIME

I TOLD YOU GUYS ABOUT?

WE HAD AN ORAL TRANSACTION.

WHAT'D YOU SAY?

WELL, WE HAD AN ORAL TRANSACTION.

- YOU SLOBBED A KNOB? - YES.

I KNEW THINGS BETWEEN TRINA AND GABE WERE BAD,

BUT I DIDN'T EXPECT THIS.

WELL, DID YOU LIKE IT?

I MEAN, LIKE IT, DON'T LIKE IT, DOES THAT REALLY MATTER?

- YES. - YES.

I'M SAYIN', IT WAS WHAT IT WAS.

IT WASN'T WHAT IT WASN'T. - I MEAN, IT'S ALL...

YA KNOW, HO-ISH ACTIVITIES.

JUST SAYIN-- CALLIN' NOBODY NO HO--

I JUST SAID IT WAS "HO-ISH."

BOTH OF YOU EXCHANGED AN ORAL TRANSACTION?

OR WAS IT A ONE-WAY STREET?

WELL, NO, THERE WAS-- THERE WAS-- IT WAS A ONE-WAY STREET.

TRINA!

- JUST-- - EW!

HOW YOU GONNA DO THAT AND NOT GET ANYTHING DONE?

SHH-- WAIT A MINUTE-WAIT.

I DIDN'T-I DIDN'T SAY I DIDN'T GET ANYTHING DONE.

THERE WAS FONDLERIZATION GOIN' ON.

I DON'T WANNA GET INTO DETAIL RIGHT NOW.

I NEED-I NEED A DRINK, IN ORDER TO GET INTO DETAIL.

BUT HE AT LEAST SHOULDA ATE THE PIE,

IN ORDER FOR HIM TO GOT TO THE CREAM, TRINA.

- I LET HIM SMELL IT. - ARE YOU SERIOUS?

- THAT AIN'T ENOUGH! - I MEAN, IT WAS.

HE SMELLED IT BEFORE?

NO-- I JUST DIDN'T GET THERE.

AND THEN ON TOP OF THAT, SHE SLOBBIN' KNOBS

WITHOUT NOBODY RETURNIN' NOTHIN' TO HER.

I MEAN, IS SHE CRAZY!

I'M THINKIN' ABOUT TELLING GABE.

- DON'T! - WHY NOT?

- TELL HIM FOR WHY? - EXACTLY!

- BECAUSE I FEEL HORRIBLE. - WELL.

DID HE TELL YOU THE FIRST TIME?

- NO. - NO.

DID HE TELL YOU THE SECOND TIME HE DID IT?

- NO. - NO.

DID HE TELL YOU THE FIFTH TIME HE DID IT?

- NO. - NO.

IF YOU TELL HIM, YOU CAN'T EVER GO BACK FOR SECONDS.

I DON'T WANNA GO BACK FOR SECONDS.

SO, DON'T TELL HIM.

THAT'S ANOTHER REASON WHY NOT TO TELL HIM.

TRINA WANTS TO TELL GABE SO BAD,

BECAUSE SHE WANTS HER CONSCIENCE TO BE CLEAR.

TAMAR, OF COURSE, WE ALL KNOW TAMAR DOESN'T THINK

SHE NEEDS TO TELL.

I DON'T THINK SHE SHOULD TELL.

I DON'T THINK THAT MOSES THINK TRINA SHOULD TELL.

TRINA, DON'T TELL! - TRINA!

BUT NOT EVEN-- NOT EVEN JUST THAT WE ALL KNOW THAT GABE,

HE SEARCHES MY PHONE, HE CHECKS MY EMAILS, MY TEXTS.

YES-- AND THAT'S WHY I GOT SOMETHIN' FOR YOU.

- WHAT YOU GOT FOR ME? - THIS RIGHT HERE.

- WHAT IS THIS? - YOU GET HIS ASS RIGHT BACK.

YOU CHECK HIS PHONE-- YOU CHECK HIS MILEAGE.

A NAVIGATION THAT YOU CAN PUT ON YOUR PHONE.

YOU CHECK WHO HE'S TEXTING.

YOU CHECK WHO'S HE'S EMAILING.

YOU CHECK WHO-- WHEN HE'S PUTTIN' HIS CHECK IN THE BANK.

YOU BE TRINA CHECK-OSLOVAKIA BRAXTON OR WHOEVER.

I SAW THAT IN THE STORE.

I SAID, "ERR-- THAT'S FOR TRINA."

YES.

AIN'T NO WAY HE GONNA GET AWAY WITH LOOKIN' AT YOURS

AND YOU AIN'T LOOKIN' AT HIS.

I JUST DON'T DO THAT.

TRINA, YOU DOIN' A LOT OF THINGS.

YOU MIGHT AS WELL GO AHEAD AND START UP WITH THAT, BOO.

YOU FOR REAL THINKIN' ABOUT TELLIN' HIM, LIKE, FOR REAL!

YEAH-- I'M NOT GONNA TELL HIM IN DETAIL.

WELL, TRINA--

I'M FEELIN' BAD ABOUT STUFF ALL THE TIME.

- DID YOU TALK TO JESUS? - YES, I TALKED TO JESUS.

WHAT'D JESUS TELL YOU TO DO?

- TELL HIM. - I DID TELL JESUS.

WHAT'D HE SAY?

WELL, HE DIDN'T ANSWER ME YET.

MY PHONE IS RINGIN'.

JESUS, YOU KNOW, I WAS JUST- WE WAS JUST TALKIN' ABOUT YOU.

YES, YES, TRINA'S HERE-- MMM-HMM.

OKAY.

OKAY-- I'LL TALK TO YA LATER.

OKAY, BYE-- JESUS SAID, "DON'T TELL HIM."

- BAM. - BOOM.

IT WOULD'VE BEEN BETTER

IF I WOULD'VE JUST GAVE HIM THE BOOTY.

SHE WANNA TELL GABE WHAT SHE DID.

AIN'T SHE DUMB?

TAMAR, I SWEAR, YOU'RE BECOMING A MEAN GIRL.

EVERYBODY SO SENSITIVE ABOUT,

"OH, WHAT TAMAR FITTIN' TO SAY?"

IT WOULD HAVE NOTHIN' TO DO WITH YOUR MOUTH, HUH?

I

I DON'T

I DON'T KNOW,

I DON'T KNOW, WHO'S

I DON'T KNOW, WHO'S OPENIN'

I DON'T KNOW, WHO'S OPENIN' THE

I DON'T KNOW, WHO'S OPENIN' THE DOOR?

- I'M NOT. - ME NEITHER.

- WHO'S OPENIN' THE DOOR? - JESUS, MARY, AND JOSEPH!

- THANK YOU, TRAY-RAY. - THANKS, TRACI.

HEY, HOW Y'ALL DOIN' TONIGHT?

TOWANDA, TAMAR, AND I JUST GOT FINISHED SHOPPING,

AND WE DECIDED TO MEET UP WITH TRACI FOR LUNCH.

I REALLY WANTED TO HEAR TRACI'S OPINION

ON WHETHER OR NOT SHE THOUGHT I SHOULD TELL GABE

ABOUT MY ORAL TRANSACTION.

I SHARED WITH YOU GUYS THAT I WAS HAVING

AN EMOTIONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH SOMEONE.

MMM-HMM.

THAT EMOTIONAL RELATIONSHIP PROGRESSED

INTO SOMETHING PHYSICAL.

UH-HUH.

WE HAD A...

ORAL TRANSACTION.

HE GAVE YOU?

WHY EVERYBODY KEEP ASKIN' THAT?

NO-- NO, TRACI!

SOMETIMES YOU'RE A GIVER-- SOMETIMES YOU'RE A RECEIVER.

AT THAT POINT, IT WAS WHAT IT WAS...

AND THAT'S WHAT IT IS.

YOU GUYS DON'T UNDERSTAND. - NO, YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND.

TELL ME WHAT I NEED TO UNDERSTAND, TAMAR.

TRINA, YOU NEVER ON THEM,

UNTIL THEY ON YOU AT LEAST THREE TIMES.

AT LEAST THREE TIMES?

WELL, I'M NOT EVEN REALLY TRYIN' TO BRING RACE INTO THIS,

BUT LET'S JUST BE HONEST.

WHITE GIRLS DO THAT-- BLACK GIRLS DON'T DO THAT.

I MEAN, AT LEAST I DON'T DO THAT.

I MEAN, I'M JUST SAYIN' WE GOT TO KNOW EACH OTHER

FOR AT LEAST A YEAR-- LIKE, WHO, ME?

THAT DON'T-- "NO, I AIN'T READY FOR THAT,"

THAT'S WHAT YOU SAY-- "NO, BOO, I AIN'T READY."

YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO SAY, "I'M NOT READY FOR THAT."

BUT I WASN'T READY FOR THE DA-NA-DA-NA.

- BUT YOU WERE READY FOR IT? - THAT'S JUST KINDA DIFFERENT.

IF SHE GONNA DO THAT, SHE MAY AS WELL GO AHEAD AND...

YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?

SO, BASICALLY, HE DIDN'T LAY IT LOW AND SPREAD IT WIDE?

HE DIDN'T LAY NOTHIN'-- SHE SPREAD IT WIDE.

I DID NOT SPREAD ANYTHING WIDE.

AS BLACK WOMEN, DO WE DO THAT OFTEN?

NO.

YOU HAVE TO PAY ATTENTION TO US FIRST,

GIVE US A LITTLE BIT OF MASSAGE,

THEN WE'LL OFFER IT BACK,

IF WE OFFER IT BACK.

BUT TRINA, YOU JUST DON'T JUST GIVE SLOB KNOBS TO ANYBODY.

YOU HAVE TO KNOW HIM AT LEAST...

THREE MONTHS OR SO.

SO, WHY NOW?

YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES A LISTENING EAR

BECOMES A SHOULDER TO CRY ON.

THE NEXT THING YOU KNOW... - IT TURNS INTO SEX.

NO, IT DIDN'T-- IT DIDN'T TURN INTO SEX.

IT TURNED INTO--

IT TURNED INTO AN ORAL TRANSACTION.

NO, A TRANSACTION'S WHEN SOMEBODY GIVE YOU SOMETHING

AND YOU GIVE THEM BACK. - AND YOU GET SOMETHING BACK.

SO, YOU GUYS THINK THAT IT-IT WOULD'VE BETTER

IF I WOULD'VE JUST GAVE HIM THE BOOTY?

SHE WANNA TELL GABE WHAT SHE DID.

AIN'T SHE DUMB?

WHAT-- SO, I SHOULDN'T TELL GABE?

DON'T-- BUT WHY?

BECAUSE IT'S WEIGHING HEAVY ON ME.

I JUST CAN'T BELIEVE THAT Y'ALL DON'T THINK

THAT I SHOULD SAY ANYTHING.

IF YOU-IF YOU GONNA TELL HIM,

YOU BETTER HAVE BUSTED A REALLY GOOD NIGHT.

THANK YOU, TRACI-- THANK YOU, TRACI.

- BAM! - BOOM, BOOM, POW!

ALL OVER THE PLACE, , ,

, , .

THANK YOU, TRACI.

I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY I CAN'T TELL HIM,

WHY I SHOULDN'T TELL HIM?

I THINK TRINA RESPECTS WHAT I HAVE TO SAY TO HER

OF WHAT SHE NEED TO DO WITH HER MARRIAGE,

BECAUSE I HAVE EXPERIENCE WITH THIS SITUATION

WITH MY OWN INFIDELITY.

I DID MY DIRT, AND FOR HIM TO HURT, I TOLD IT.

I WANTED HIM TO HURT JUST LIKE I HURT.

YOU DID WHAT TRINA DID?

WHAT, IS IT A CONTEST WHO CHEATS ON WHO THE MOST?

LIKE, FOR REAL?

IT SHOULD BE A CONTEST ON WHO GETS THE STD FIRST.

- DOES HE STILL TRUST YOU? - NOT ALL THE WAY.

THERE YOU GO-- THAT'S WHAT I'M TRYIN' TO SAY.

- BUT I DON'T TRUST-- - DO YOU TRUST HIM?

NO, I DON'T, NOT ALL THE WAY.

THAT'S WHAT I'M TRYIN' TO TELL YOU.

WELL, I, YOU KNOW, I APPRECIATE YOU GUYS' ADVICE,

BUT I THINK I'M GONNA TELL HIM.

BY TRINA WANTIN' TO TELL HIM, SHE WANTS HIM TO HURT.

SHE'S HAVIN' THE SAME FEELINGS THAT I DID.

I MEAN, IF YOU WANNA SAVE YOUR MARRIAGE,

DON'T TELL HIM.

AND IF YOU WANNA SAVE YOUR MARRIAGE, DON'T TELL HIM.

DON'T TELL HIM.

I'M STARTING THIS NEW DIET.

I INVITED TRINA OVER FOR TEA,

AND I FELT THAT IT WAS IMPORTANT,

ME BEING THE OLDER SISTER, THAT I ENLIGHTEN HER

WITH SOME SUGGESTIONS OR ADVICE IN HEADING FORWARD

WITH HER RELATIONSHIP WITH HER HUSBAND GABE.

TELL ME WHAT HAPPENED WITH GABE.

I CAN TELL SOMETHIN'S GOIN' ON, 'CAUSE I KNOW YOU.

I'M PRACTICALLY PSYCHIC.

I DISCLOSED THE FACT THAT STEPPED OUTSIDE OF MY MARRIAGE

AND HAD AN ORAL TRANSACTION WITH ANOTHER MAN.

THAT'S NOT GOOD.

AND THE FACT THAT GABE PUT A GPS TRACKING SYSTEM

ON MY PHONE.

AND, YOU KNOW, SHE IS NOT VERY HAPPY.

I HAVE TO GIVE YOU BIG SISTER ADVICE.

- OKAY. - I'M NOT IN YOUR MARRIAGE.

I DON'T KNOW IT, BUT THIS IS NOT COOL.

THIS IS NOT A GOOD THING.

MAYBE YOU GUYS SHOULD SEPARATE AND GO TO THERAPY

AND REALLY WORK ON IT, 'CAUSE YOU OBVIOUSLY LOVE HIM

AND YOU WANNA MAKE IT WORK.

BUT THE WAY YOU'RE DOING IT, IT'S NOT HEALTHY.

HE'S AN EXCELLENT PROVIDER.

HE'S A GOOD FATHER TO THE CHILDREN.

HE JUST CHEATS.

HE-- YEAH, HE HAS THAT INFIDELITY--

AND FOLLOWS YOU. - YES, THAT'S--

- AND GPS'S YOU. - YEAH.

DO YOU WANT TO STAY MARRIED TO THIS?

'CAUSE THIS IS ONLY GONNA GET WORSE,

IF HE DOESN'T CHANGE NOW.

THAT'S A DIFFICULT QUESTION.

THIS IS TO ME-- I'M BEING HONEST.

IT'S-- - I'M LISTENING.

LIKE, "IF I CAN'T HAVE HER, NO ONE WILL HAVE HER"

KIND OF THINKING.

I AM NOT SCARED TO TELL GABE ABOUT MY INFIDELITY.

I DO NOT THINK GABE WOULD BE FORGIVING.

HOWEVER, HE NEEDS TO KNOW.

SO, WHAT DO YOU SUGGEST-- JUST OUT OF SISTERLY OPINION?

RUN-RUN AS FAST AS YOU CAN.

BE THE GINGERBREAD MAN-- OKAY, I SAID IT.

TOO MUCH? - REALLY?

GIRL.

I'M SORRY.

I PROMISE-- I WON'T SAY ANYTHING TO THE-TO ANYONE ELSE.

I PROMISE.

'CAUSE YOU KNOW I RESPECT WHAT YOU-WHAT YOU HAVE TO SAY.

- THANKS. - CLINK.

CLINK, CLINK, CLINK.

FATHER, IN THE NAME OF JESUS,

WE THANK YOU FOR THIS FOOD WE'RE ABOUT TO RECEIVE,

FOR THE NOURISHMENT AND STRENGTH OF OUR BODIES.

IN JESUS' NAME WE PRAY-- AMEN.

DON'T LET US GET FAT.

TAMAR, WHY AREN'T YOU TASTING ANYTHING?

I'M JUST WATCHIN' Y'ALL EAT YOUR LITTLE HAMBURGER HELPER.

I DID TELL YOU GUYS THAT I GOT

MY, UM, BARTENDER'S LICENSE. - OH, GREAT!

OOH!

I'M TELLING YOU GUYS, I HAVE SOME EXCELLENT DRINKS,

AND I WOULD LOVE FOR ALL OF YOU GUYS TO TASTE ALL OF THEM.

I THINK TRINA GOING TO BARTENDING AND MIXOLOGY CLASSES

IS LIKE HAVING A CRACK-HEAD WORK AT A CRACK-HOUSE.

LIKE, WHAT YOU DOIN', BOO?

WHAT, YOU TRYIN' TO LEARN HOW TO MAKE THE CRACK?

WHAT'S YOUR BEST ONE?

INSTEAD OF JELLO SHOTS, I MAKE JELLO BOMBS.

DID YOU-DID YOU EVER MAKE "MY HUSBAND CHEATED

"AND NOW I'M STAYIN'"? - TAMAR, YOU DID NOT SAY THAT!

WE'RE SITTING AT THE TABLE AND WE'RE EATING

AND WE'RE DRINKING, AND IN TRUE TAMAR FASHION,

SHE STARTS TALKIN' ABOUT PEOPLE'S HUSBANDS.

TAMAR DREW FIRST BLOOD, STARTED TALKIN' ABOUT MINE FIRST.

TAMAR, YOU CAN'T JUST GO TALKIN'

ABOUT PEOPLE'S HUSBANDS.

I DON'T CARE ABOUT YOU--

GUESS WHAT, GABE-GABE CHEATED ON ME!

GABE AROUND ON ME!

GABE-- - AND YOU DID IT BACK.

- WHAT, DID I NOT? - GOOD FOR YOU.

I ON A AND I SURE DID,

AND I LIKED IT AND I ENJOYED IT.

EXCUSE ME, MOMMY-- I'M SORRY.

BUT YOU KNOW WHAT, I TASTED IT, I IT,

AND I LIKED IT, AND I ENJOYED IT,

AND THAT WAS A PAYBACK LIKE A MOTHER,

AND I WILL TELL IT AGAIN AND AGAIN

AND AGAIN AND AGAIN-- I'M SORRY, MOMMY.

AND GUESS WHAT, I ENJOYED MYSELF IMMENSELY.

- AND WENT BACK HOME-- - DID I NOT!

DID I NOT-- YES, I DID.

FOR WHAT REASON WAS THAT?

BECAUSE I ENJOY MY LIFE AT HOME.

I DON'T HAVE ANY PROBLEMS AT HOME.

YOU DO-- YOU HAVE A GPS ON YOUR PHONE, BOO.

TAMAR, I SWEAR YOU'RE BECOMING A MEAN GIRL.

WE'RE AT DINNER, MOMMY SAYS "GRACE,"

THEY EAT SOME NASTY-ASS FOOD,

AND THEN TONI POPS OFF AND SAYS

THAT I'M A MEAN GIRL.

THAT'S HOW THE FIGHT STARTED.

HOW AM I A MEAN GIRL?

MAYBE SHE DIDN'T WANT ANYBODY TO KNOW.

I SEEN IT-- SHE DID.

I LOVE MY BABY SISTER TAMAR,

EXCEPT SHE KEEPS STICKING HER NOSE

IN EVERYONE'S BUSINESS.

AND EVERYONE DON'T ALWAYS WANT THEIR TRUTHS TO BE PUBLICIZED.

I AIN'T NEVER MADE NOBODY'S TRUTHS PUBLICIZED.

THEY MADE IT ON THEIR OWN.

WHY IS EVERYBODY DEFENDING EACH OTHER AND I'M OVER HERE?

PERHAPS SHE DON'T FEEL LIKE GETTING INTO HERS.

WELL, HOW YOU KNOW THAT'S SOMETHING SHE DON'T WANNA

TALK ABOUT, BUT SHE ALREADY TALKED ABOUT IT.

TO EVERYONE.

MAYBE SHE DON'T WANNA TALK ABOUT THAT IN FRONT OF MOMMY.

OKAY, GUYS-- OKAY-OKAY-OKAY-OKAY.

HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT, TAMAR-- THAT'S ABOUT RESPECT.

WELL, MOMMY KNEW ABOUT THAT, TOO!

TAMAR, THE PROBLEM IS STOP THROWING STONES

AT GLASS HOUSES, THAT'S THE PROBLEM.

I NEVER SAID MY LIFE WAS PERFECT.

NO, BUT YOU ATTACK EVERYBODY ELSE'S LIFE.

TAMAR FEELS LIKE SHE CAN SAY WHATEVER SHE WANTS TO SAY

TO EVERYBODY ELSE AND NO ONE IS SUPPOSED TO HAVE

ANY RETALIATION OR COMMENT ON THE THINGS THAT SHE SAYS

TO PEOPLE AND THAT'S NOT COOL.

EVERYBODY SO SENSITIVE ABOUT,

"OH, WHAT'S TAMAR FITTIN' TO SAY?

"WHAT TAMAR FITTIN' TO DO?"

I DON'T CARE.

LIKE, AND-AND EVERYBODY SO INTO, LIKE, GANGIN' UP.

SO, SHE'S ON HER OWN, AS USUAL.

- NOW, WE'RE GANGING UP ON YOU? - OH, YEAH!

SHE IMMEDIATELY GOT DEFENSIVE-- TYPICAL OF TAMAR.

IT HAD NOTHIN' TO DO WITH YOUR MOUTH, HUH?

SOMETHIN' ALWAYS HAVE TO BE WRONG WITH ME

TO TRIGGER EVERYBODY ELSE TO-TO-TO BE TOGETHER

AND TO LEAVE HER ON HER OWN.

IT WOULD HAVE TO BE SOMETHIN' WRONG WITH ME.

OF COURSE IT WOULD HAVE TO BE SOMETHIN' WRONG WITH HER.

GUYS--

'CAUSE SHE'S A MESS, BECAUSE HER MOUTH IS A MESS.

- IT IS YOUR MOUTH. - THAT'S TRUE.

- 'CAUSE IT'S TRUE. - IT IS YOUR MOUTH.

EVERYBODY TELLS YOU THAT.

TRINA SAYIN' MY MOUTH IS A MESS IS THE POT

CALLIN' THE KETTLE BLACK.

TRINA CAN POP OFF AND MY MOTHER WON'T SAY NOTHIN'.

OOH, I SAID IT.

- NOBODY ELSE HAS FLAWS BUT ME. - EVEN-BUT EVEN-EVEN-EVEN--

HOW DARE ME NOT LOOK AT MY FLAWS.

NO, BUT YOU SHOW EVERYONE ELSE'S FLAWS.

Y'ALL DON'T HAVE TO BE LOUD.

JUST SAY WHAT YOU NEED TO SAY.

YOU'RE COMFORTABLE TALKIN' ABOUT EVERYONE ELSE'S,

BUT EVERY-ANYONE TALKS ABOUT TAMAR FLAWS, IT'S AN ISSUE.

IT'S A PROBLEM-- I'M HATING.

I'M JEALOUS. - I NEVER CALLED YOU JEALOUS.

WHAT DID YOU SAY I WAS-- WHAT DID SHE SAY I WAS?

ALL OF US ARE HATERS AND JEALOUS.

I GUESS WHEN YOU'RE USED TO BEING THE ONLY SUPERSTAR,

YOU KNOW, I GUESS YOU WOULD FEEL A LITTLE FUNNY ABOUT

SOMEBODY ELSE COMING IN AND BE SHARING THE SPOTLIGHT.

IT'S NOT RIGHT.

AND SHE THINKS PEOPLE JEALOUS OF HER.

THAT'S NOT RIGHT.

'CAUSE, YOU KNOW, YOU'RE NOT TELLING THE TRUTH.

I SURE AM TELLIN' THE TRUTH.

YOU'RE NOT TELLING THE TRUTH!

WHAT YOU'RE TELLING IS YOUR TRUTH.

JUST LIKE YOU SAY WHAT I SAY IS MY TRUTH.

WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE! - ALL RIGHT, TAMAR.

WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE OF YOU SAYING IT

AND IT'S-AND IT'S THE TRUTH!

TAMAR YOU'RE WITH A HEAVYWEIGHT.

DON'T GO THERE WITH ME!

- WITH A HEAVYWEIGHT? - DON'T EVEN DO THAT!

SHE'S A HEAVYWEIGHT, TOO-- SHE HAS A BELT.

SHE HAS A BELT, AS WELL. - WHATEVER!

CALM DOWN.

AND I'M SAYING IS THIS IS EVERYBODY'S OPPORTUNITY

TO GET AT TO TAMAR BECAUSE SHE'S SO FABULOUS

AND I DON'T BLAME THEM. - I DON'T CARE.

NOW YOU'RE LYING-- NOW YOU'RE LYING.

, Y'ALL MUST BE CRAZY!

SHE WILL NOT SHUT ME DOWN.

COME ON, GUYS-- ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.

I AM DEFINITELY OWED AN APOLOGY.

I'M NEVER GONNA APOLOGIZE-- I'M NEVER GONNA APOLOGIZE.

WHAT'S

WHAT'S THE

WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE

WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE OF

WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE OF YOU

WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE OF YOU SAYING

WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE OF YOU SAYING AND

WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE OF YOU SAYING AND IT'S

WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE OF YOU SAYING AND IT'S THE

WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE OF YOU SAYING AND IT'S THE TRUTH?

TAMAR, YOU'RE WITH A HEAVYWEIGHT.

DON'T GO THERE.

I'M WITH A HEAVYWEIGHT?

- DON'T EVEN DO THAT! - SHE'S A HEAVYWEIGHT, TOO.

SHE HAS A BELT-- SHE HAS A BELT, AS WELL!

CALM DOWN, HONEY.

WHAT I'M SAYING IS THIS IS EVERYBODY'S OPPORTUNITY

TO GET AT TO TAMAR BECAUSE SHE'S SO FABULOUS

AND I DON'T BLAME THEM.

I'M GETTIN' SOME ATTENTION AND GETTIN' A LITTLE BIT

MORE FAMOUS FROM THE SHOW, AND IT'S MAKIN' MY SISTERS

A LITTLE BIT UNCOMFORTABLE AND SO IT'S KINDA CREATED

A LITTLE DIVISION-- THEM VERSUS ME.

AND THAT HURTS A LITTLE BIT. - I DON'T CARE.

NOW-NOW YOU'RE LYING-- NOW YOU'RE LYING!

IT HURTS MY FEELINGS REALLY BAD TO SEE MY GIRLS

AT ODDS WITH ONE ANOTHER-- I CAN'T TAKE IT.

- WHAT HAVE I SAID ABOUT YOU? - WHAT HAVE YOU SAID ABOUT ME?

THE ONLY THING I SAID ABOUT YOU--

- WHAT HAVE I SAID ABOUT YOU? - WHAT HAVE I SAID ABOUT YOU?

THE ONLY THING I SAID ABOUT YOU WAS TELL YOUR TRUTH.

THE ONLY THING I SAID ABOUT TONI BRAXTON IS THAT

I RESPECT TONI BRAXTON, THAT I WAS PROUD OF TONI BRAXTON.

THE ONLY THING I SAID IS THAT I'M YOUR SISTER.

I'M NOT JEALOUS OF YOU.

I RESPECT YOU AND YOU'RE A MORE TALENTED SINGER

THAN ANY OF US.

OKAY, I GUESS THAT WAS THE TRUTH.

THAT'S THE ONLY THING I SAID ABOUT--

SO WHAT ELSE DID I SAY ABOUT YOU?

SO WHAT DID I SAY ABOUT YOU?

SO WHAT DID I SAY ABOUT YOU THEN?

I DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING.

YOU KNOW, SITTING THERE AT THE RESTAURANT,

IT WAS SO UNREAL TO ME AND I'M LIKE, "WHAT-WHAT?

"WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE?

"WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?

WHAT...

WHAT IS THE UNDERLYING ANGER HERE?"

SHE WILL NOT SHUT ME DOWN!

I AIN'T TRYIN' TO SHUT YOU DOWN!

WELL, YEAH, YOU ARE, WHATEVER.

EH, EH, EH!

OKAY, CAN WE JUST COME TOGETHER?

- WHAT! - NO, WE CAN'T COME TOGETHER!

IF IT'S NOT-- WE CAN'T COME TOGETHER THE ONLY WAY

THAT ONE PERSON WANTS TO COME TOGETHER.

YOU DON'T EVEN MAKE ANY SENSE RIGHT NOW.

YOU DON'T EVEN MAKE ANY SENSE TO US EITHER.

COME ON, GUYS-- ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.

THIS IS NOT THE VALUES YOU'RE TRYIN' TO SHOW.

LET'S KEEP IT REAL-- STOP ALREADY.

I GUESS THEY FEEL I THINK I'M UP THERE AND THEY DOWN HERE

AND I DEFINITELY DON'T THINK THAT.

I WANT EVERYBODY TO BE ON EQUAL GROUNDS, BUT YOU KNOW,

I AM NOT CUT ANY SLACK AT ALL.

WELL, WE'RE NOT ALWAYS GONNA GET ALONG.

THAT DON'T MEAN WE DON'T LOVE EACH OTHER.

THAT DOES NOT MEAN WE'RE ALWAYS GONNA GET ALONG.

- WE ALL LOVE EACH OTHER. - SO, THAT'S IT.

THAT'S IT.

I'M REALLY DISAPPOINTED IN TAMAR.

I THINK HER BEHAVIOR IS UNNECESSARY.

AND I'M ALSO ANGRY AT MYSELF, BECAUSE I'M FINDING

THAT I'M GETTING DRAWN INTO IT,

AND I'M BECOMING CONFRONTATIONAL, AND I--

IT'S NOT ME-- THIS IS NOT GOOD.

I HAVE TO TALK TO HER.

SHE'S BECOMING A MEAN GIRL, AND I THINK MAYBE

ME SAYING THAT KINDA SET HER OFF.

BOOM-- SHOTS.

- THAT'S HOW IT GOES. - GARCON.

I JUST NEED TO TALK TO EVERYBODY.

AFTER THAT LITTLE EPISODE AT THE RESTAURANT,

I WAS TOTALLY ANGRY, UM, WITH ALL OF MY GIRLS.

I-I REALLY DON'T UNDERSTAND IT AND I REALLY DON'T KNOW,

BUT I DO THINK THAT THEY NEED INTERVENTION.

WHEN THEY WERE GROWING UP, THEY HAD THE UTMOST RESPECT

FOR ONE ANOTHER, BUT I'M FINDING OUT

THAT THE LEVEL OF RESPECT HAS GONE DOWN

AND THAT CAN DESTROY A FAMILY.

TRUST ME.

YOU DON'T WANT NOTHIN' TO DRINK?

NO, I'M GOOD.

YOU KNOW, UM, I-I NEED TO SAY THIS.

BUT I DID NOT LIKE THAT EPISODE.

I DID NOT-- I DID NOT.

IT BOTHERED MY SPIRIT-- IT BOTHERED MY MIND.

AND IT BOTHERED MY HEART.

WHAT Y'ALL JUST GET IN YOUR MOUTH IS SO NASTY.

THE STUFF THAT COMES OUT OF Y'ALL MOUTH,

I COULDN'T BELIEVE IT.

I FELT TOTALLY UNCOMFORTABLE AND TOTALLY DISRESPECTED,

CURSIN' AND M-F'S AND ALL THAT.

THAT'S NOT-THAT'S NOT NECESSARY.

I WANNA START OFF BY SAYING THAT I'M SORRY

FOR DISRESPECTING YOU AND USING THE LANGUAGE THAT I USED

IN FRONT OF YOU, BECAUSE THAT WASN'T OKAY.

DID YOU TOLD YOU THAT WAS GONNA SLAP THE PISS OUT OF HER?

BUT Y'ALL NOT GONNA TALK TO ME ANY KINDA WAY.

YOU WILL NOT DISRESPECT ME AND THE NEXT TIME YOU DO IT,

I'M GONNA SLAP THE PISS OUT OF YOU.

YOU FELT TOTALLY DISRESPECTED.

YOU CAME TO MY HOUSE AND TOLD ME

YOU WAS GONNA SLAP ME IN THE FACE.

THIS ONE RIGHT HERE SAY THE 'D' WORD.

I HAVE TO WATCH MY TONGUE,

BUT NOBODY HAS TO WATCH WHAT THEY SAY.

NOBODY HAS TO WATCH WHAT THEY SAY,

BUT I CAN'T SAY WHAT I WANNA SAY.

YOU'VE SAID WHAT YOU WANTED TO SAY.

- NO, I HAVE NOT NEITHER! - I'M NOT GONNA BACK DOWN.

I'M NOT ASKIN' YOU TO BACK DOWN.

I DIDN'T-I DIDN'T EVEN ASK TO BE HERE.

OKAY-OKAY-- JUST-JUST-- NO.

I CAN'T-- I CAN'T TAKE IT.

I'M GETTIN' TOO OLD AND I'M TIRED.

TIRED!

WHY?

BECAUSE I'M TRYIN' TO KEEP MY FAMILY TOGETHER.

TO ME, FAMILY IS EVERYTHING!

I WAS RAISED THE WAY.

I RAISED Y'ALL THAT WAY.

YOU GUYS ARE ALL YOU GOT.

THE CONVERSATION REALLY BROKE MY HEART AS A SISTER,

AND TO SEE MY MOM'S FACE EXPRESSION,

IT WAS LIKE HER HEART JUST KEPT DROPPING,

AND I WAS REALLY CONCERNED ABOUT MY MOM.

TAMAR, YOU HAVE A FUNNY LOOK ON YOUR FACE-- WHAT?

I DEFINITELY FEEL BY MYSELF, AND I WILL PROBABLY ALWAYS

FEEL BY MYSELF, BUT THAT'S GOOD.

TAMAR FEELS LIKE EVERYONE GANGS UP ON HER

AND ATTACKS HER.

HERE'S THE THING, IF EVERYONE ALL FEELS

A CERTAIN WAY, THEN THERE MUST BE SOME TRUTH TO IT,

AND AT THAT POINT,

YOU NEED TO KINDA STEP BACK AND REEVALUATE YOURSELF.

WHEN-WHEN-WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN,

'CAUSE YOU AND TONI WAS THE BEST OF FRIENDS.

'CAUSE TONI DOESN'T FEEL LIKE NOBODY SHOULD HAVE

THE RIGHT TO SAY-- OR I SHOULDN'T HAVE THE RIGHT

TO SAY ANYTHING.

IT'S WHATEVER SHE SAYS AND THEN THAT'S THE BOTTOM LINE.

IT'S WHATEVER SHE SAYS AND NOBODY SHOULD SAY ANYTHING.

AND WHATEVER THEY ALL COME UP WITH IS JUST WHAT IT IS.

IT'S THE TRUTH,

BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT THEY ALL GOING TO AGREE.

LIKE, THEY NEVER DON'T AGREE WITH EACH OTHER.

I THINK MY SISTERS DO SIDE WITH TONI,

INCLUDING MY MOTHER, AGAINST ME.

I HAVE TO HAVE MY OWN BACK, AND THAT'S THAT.

THAT'S JUST THE BOTTOM LINE.

THAT'S IT!

THAT'S ON YOU, BUT I KNOW I DESERVE AN APOLOGY.

OKAY, WELL.

YOU WANT US TO APOLOGIZE TO YOU FOR WHAT?

HOW YOU FEEL AND IT WAS THE WRONG ANSWER.

I'M SORRY-- YOU WANT US TO APOLOGIZE TO YOU FOR?

FOR HOW YOU-- FOR HOW YOU FEEL.

HOW I FEEL?

FOR HOW YOU FEEL, BUT I AM DEFINITELY OWED AND APOLOGY.

I'M NEVER GONNA APOLOGIZE-- I'M NEVER GONNA APOLOGIZE.

I'M NEVER GONNA APOLOGIZE, COMMA, NEVER GONNA APOLOGIZE,

COMMA, NEVER GONNA APOLOGIZE, SEMICOLON,

NEVER GONNA APOLOGIZE, EXCLAMATION POINT!

IT'S NOT GONNA HAPPEN.

OKAY, WELL, THAT WAS IT FOR ME.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE CONDESCENDING.

YES, MA'AM.

AND IF YOU KEEP IT UP, SOMEBODY GET HURT.

I'M

I'M NOT

I'M NOT GONNA

I'M NOT GONNA GIVE

I'M NOT GONNA GIVE HIM

I'M NOT GONNA GIVE HIM THE

I'M NOT GONNA GIVE HIM THE PLAY-BY-PLAY.

TRINA, HE'S GOING TO ASK YOU!

HE'S GOING TO ASK YOU PLAY-BY-PLAY.

SO, I WANNA BE GABE.

DO WE HAVE TO DO ROLE-PLAYING ALL THE TIME?

YES!

YOU HAVE TO PRACTICE, SINCE YOU DYIN' TO TELL THE MAN.

- CAN I BE TRINA? - SURE.

GABE, THERE'S SOMETHIN' I HAVE TO TELL YOU.

WHAT, TRINA?

WHAT'D I DO?

REMEMBER THE GUY IN THE BAND THAT YOU ABSOLUTELY HATE?

WELL, WE HAD AN ORAL TRANSACTION.

WHAT?!

YOU DIRTY BLANKITY-BLANK BLANK BLANK BLACK WOMAN!

WHAT ARE YOU DOIN'?!

YOU'S A DIRTY-- YOU'S A LIAR!

YOU'S A CHEAT!

YOU'S A NASTY WITH GRAVY ON TOP, A DIRTY WOMAN!

I WILL NEVER TOUCH YOU AGAIN!

WELL, GOOD, YOU WOULDN'T TOUCH ME, ANYWAY.

YOU TOUCH OTHER WOMEN! - YOU'RE A DIRTY BITCH!

SO, I GOT COOTIES?

YOU

YOU WANT

YOU WANT US

YOU WANT US TO

YOU WANT US TO APOLOGIZE

YOU WANT US TO APOLOGIZE TO

YOU WANT US TO APOLOGIZE TO YOU

YOU WANT US TO APOLOGIZE TO YOU FOR?

FOR HOW YOU-- FOR HOW YOU FEEL.

HOW I FEEL?

FOR HOW YOU FEEL, BUT I AM DEFINITELY OWED AND APOLOGY.

I'M NEVER GONNA APOLOGIZE-- I'M NEVER GONNA APOLOGIZE.

WELL, THAT WAS IT FOR ME.

BYE.

I SIMPLY WALKED OUT 'CAUSE TONI OWED ME AN APOLOGY AND,

YOU KNOW, I WAS SICK OF THE WAY SHE WAS TALKIN' TO ME.

I DID NOT DESERVE THAT-- IT'S RIDICULOUS.

I GOTTA GET READY TO GO.

WHERE, BABY GIRL?

I GOTTA GO TO PARENT-TEACHER NIGHT.

SEE YA LATER-- SEE YA LATER, MOMMY.

I'M GOIN' TO BED, MOMMY.

ALL RIGHTY THEN-- GO AHEAD.

I LOVE YOU TO PIECES, AND I REALLY AM SORRY

FOR DISRESPECTING YOU AND USING THAT 'D' WORD

AND THE 'M-F' WORD-- I REALLY AM.

YOU KNOW, I THINK IT'S THAT WINE.

MOMMY.

I REALLY DO-- I REALLY DO.

I DON'T THINK YOU NEED TO DRINK ANY MORE WINE.

YOU CAN CALL IT WHATEVER YOU WANT, MOMMY.

- WELL, YOU KNOW WHAT-- I CAN. - YES, MA'AM.

AND I DON'T NEED YOU TO TELL ME WHAT I CAN CALL.

YES, MA'AM.

WHEN MY MOM SCOLDED ME ABOUT ME HAVING TO STOP DRINKING WINE,

I THINK SHE JUST GOT UPSET

BECAUSE SHE DIDN'T LIKE WHAT I HAD TO SAY.

I SHOULD NOT HAVE EXPRESSED MY SEXUAL EXPLOITS

AT THAT TIME IN FRONT OF MOMMY.

AND YOU KNOW WHAT-- I'M REALLY SORRY THAT THAT HAPPENED.

AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE CONDESCENDING.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE. - YES, MA'AM.

AND IF YOU KEEP IT UP...

SOMEBODY GET HURT. - YES, MA'AM.

YOU NEED TO PUT THAT WINE DOWN 'CAUSE YOU ACTIN' A FOOL.

YES, MA'AM.

- HI! - HI!

HOW ARE YOU?

THAT LOOKS LIKE YOU, MOMMY.

I DIDN'T GO TO DINNER LAST NIGHT,

SO I DECIDED TO CALL MOMMY

TO SEE IF SHE WANTED TO GO SHOPPING WITH ME,

BECAUSE I REALLY WANTED TO FIND OUT WHAT I MISSED.

UH, TAMAR AND TONI AND, UM, TRINA GOT INTO IT.

OH, LORD, AND I MISSED IT!

IT WAS SO DISRESPECTFUL AND THE THINGS THEY SAID.

WHAT'D THEY SAY?

TRINA SAYIN', YEAH, SHE GO OUT, YOU KNOW,

YEAH, SHE GOT A GUY AND THAT TYPE OF THING.

WHO DREW FIRST BLOOD?

WELL, TAMAR DID SAY SOME THINGS TO TRINA

THAT I THOUGHT WERE JUST-- - INAPPROPRIATE.

BUT TRINA REALLY WENT OVER THE, UH, DEEP END.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN SHE WENT ON THE DEEP END?

YOU MEAN, BY EXPLAININ' STUFF?

TOWANDA, IT WAS TOO EXPLICIT.

- OH. - OKAY?

I BET THAT WAS GOOD AND JUICY.

WANDA...

I CAN'T BELIEVE I MISSED THAT.

WANDA, THAT WAS GOOD AND EMBARRASSIN'.

THERE'S NOTHIN' JUICY ABOUT IT.

NO, MEANING I JUST CAN'T BELIEVE I MISSED IT.

I REALLY DON'T WANNA TALK ABOUT THAT NIGHT ANYMORE.

WHAT I REALLY TALK ABOUT IS THE BRAXTON FAMILY ALBUM.

I THINK THIS ALBUM WILL BE A GOOD BONDING EXPERIENCE

FOR THE GIRLS.

AND NOT ONLY THAT, BUT I WOULD LIKE TO SING

ON THIS ALBUM, AS WELL.

SO, WHAT ABOUT THE BRAXTON FAMILY ALBUM?

WHAT ABOUT THAT?

I SAY, I'LL DO IT WITH YOU GUYS.

JUST LET ME JUST SAY ONE NOTE.

THAT'S SOMETHIN' THAT TO, UM, CONSIDER

AND TO THINK ABOUT, I THINK.

I THINK SO, TOO.

WHY DOES SHE WANNA BE ON THE BRAXTON ALBUM?

SHE WASN'T ON THE BRAXTON ALBUM BEFORE.

BUT I MEAN, IF THAT FLOATS HER BOAT, THEN, HEY, I--

HEY... HEY... HEY.

ALL I WAS SAYIN', WANDA, LOOK AT THIS.

LOOK AT OVER HERE. - MY MOTHER HAS ADHD.

LOOK AT THIS.

GABE AND I ARE GOING TO SEE DR. SHERRY

TO DISCUSS OUR RELATIONSHIP.

DR. SHERRY COULD PROBABLY GIVE A BETTER PERSPECTIVE

ON WHERE GABE AND I SHOULD GO FROM HERE.

COME ON IN, FOLKS-- I'M SO GLAD TO SEE YOU AGAIN.

- THANK YOU-THANK YOU. - GOOD TO SEE YOU.

- GOOD TO SEE YOU, TOO. - WELL, YOU LOOK GREAT.

- THANK YOU. - IT'S BEEN A WHILE, AS USUAL.

YES.

SO, TELL ME, WHAT'S HAPPENING?

GIVE ME AN UPDATE.

WE'RE MAKING SLOW, BUT STEADY PROGRESS

IN THE RELATIONSHIP. - YEAH.

WELL, THAT'S GOOD NEWS.

I THINK WE'RE ABLE TO TALK MORE.

WE CAN ACTUALLY TALK ABOUT THE ISSUES

AND NOT SKIRT AROUND THEM.

EVEN SOMETIMES WE ARGUE THROUGH THE ISSUES.

BUT YOU'RE TALKIN'.

BUT WE'RE ACTUALLY ADDRESSING THEM,

INSTEAD OF SWEEPING THEM UNDER THE RUG.

SO, HOW HAVE YOU STARTED DEALING WITH ISSUES?

WELL, DR. SHERRY,

IT'S AMAZING THAT YOU ASKED THAT QUESTION,

BECAUSE I HAVE TO TELL YOU GUYS SOMETHING,

AND I THOUGHT THAT MAYBE THIS WOULD BE THE FORUM TO DO SO.

OKAY... OKAY.

IT TOOK A LOT OF THOUGHT, YOU KNOW,

FOR ME TO DECIDE TO ADDRESS IT

AND LET IT OUT OF THE BAG, I GUESS.

MMM-HMM-MMM-HMM.

EVEN LAST TIME WHEN WE CAME, WE WERE TALKING ABOUT

HOW GABE AND I, WE WEREN'T REALLY HAVING

MUCH OF AN INTIMATE RELATIONSHIP WITH EACH OTHER.

MMM-HMM-MMM-HMM.

AND, YOU KNOW, AND IT JUST MAKES A WOMAN THINK,

ESPECIALLY A WOMAN LIKE ME. - MMM-HMM.

YOU KNOW, I GAINED A LOT OF WEIGHT-- YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?

AND I WAS DRINKING EXCESSIVELY. - MMM-HMM.

AND, YOU KNOW, AS A RESULT OF, YOU KNOW, THE THINGS

THAT WAS GOIN' ON IN OUR RELATIONSHIP.

MMM-HMM-MMM-HMM.

VERY RECENTLY, MY EMOTIONAL RELATIONSHIP

WITH THAT OTHER PERSON BECAME PHYSICAL.

- HOW ARE YOU FEELING? - BETRAYED... HURT.

RIGHT NOW, WHERE IS THIS MARRIAGE?

I THINK YOU WERE BEING DISRESPECTFUL.

- REALLY? - YEAH.

AND I'M NOT HAVING IT.

VERY

VERY RECENTLY,

VERY RECENTLY, MY

VERY RECENTLY, MY EMOTIONAL

VERY RECENTLY, MY EMOTIONAL RELATIONSHIP

WITH THAT OTHER PERSON BECAME PHYSICAL.

WOW-- I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY.

HOW ARE YOU FEELING?

UM... BETRAYED.

UH, HURT.

I KINDA NEW SOMETHIN' WAS GOIN' ON, THOUGH.

UH, I WASN'T SURPRISED AT ALL

THAT TRINA HAD BEEN UNFAITHFUL TO ME,

BECAUSE, UH, I PUT A CELL PHONE SPY SOFTWARE

ON TRINA'S PHONE AND IT TRACKED ALL HER TEXT MESSAGES,

SO I KNEW WHAT WAS GOIN' ON.

YOU KNOW, SOME OF YOUR TEXT MESSAGES

THAT SOME OF THE COMMUNICATION

THAT I SEEN GOIN' BACK AND FORTH,

I MEAN, YOU DON'T SAY THAT KIND OF STUFF TO FRIENDS.

AND YOU KNOW, YOU DON'T TELL THEM, "OH, I LOVE YOU"

AND OTHER STUFF, YOU KNOW?

I-I AM NOT IN ANY WAY JUSTIFYING MY BEHAVIOR.

WHAT I DID WAS NOT OKAY IN ANY WAY, SHAPE, OR FORM.

OKAY-- I'M GLAD YOU'RE ABLE TO SAY THAT.

BUT I THINK IT WAS SOMETHING THAT I JUST

KINDA HAD TO PROVE TO MYSELF. - MMM-HMM.

IT WASN'T A SITUATION WHERE LIKE,

"I'M GONNA GET BACK AT GABE.

"GABE NEEDS TO KNOW HOW IT FEELS."

NO, BECAUSE IF I WERE FEELIN' THAT WAY,

I'VE BEEN DONE IT. - MMM-HMM.

IN ALL TRUTH AND HONESTY, BOTH OF US HAD A LOT

OF RESPONSIBILITY TO OWN UP TO.

I MEAN, IF YOU WANNA PUT THINGS ON THE SCALE, YEAH,

SOME THINGS OUTWEIGH OTHERS.

BUT THE THING IS, WE BOTH HAD THINGS TO PUT ON THE SCALE.

DR. SHERRY, DO YOU THINK IT'S OKAY FOR HER

AND THIS GUY TO BE FRIENDS NOW?

EVEN AFTER ALL THAT'S HAPPENED?

YOU KNOW, GOIN' FROM AN EMOTIONAL AFFAIR

TO A PHYSICAL AFFAIR AND THEN NOW THEY'RE STILL FRIENDS.

IT'S NOT AN AFFAIR-- IT WAS A HAPPENSTANCE.

SEE, THAT'S-- SEE, SEE, THAT'S THE THING.

WHEN I TELL TRINA ABOUT IT, IT WAS AN AFFAIR.

I KNOW IT'S NOT A HAPPEN-- SHE JUST PLAYS,

"OH, IT JUST HAPPENSTANCE," YOU KNOW?

AGAIN-- I HAVE TO-- I HAVE TO REALLY LISTEN TO GABE,

AND I HAVE TO SORT OF AGREE WITH HIM.

NOW, COME ON NOW. - NO, I-I HEAR YOU.

I HEAR YOU.

IT'S NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT.

IT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT IS ONGOING.

BUT WHAT YOU'RE SAYING,

YOU WANNA CONTINUE BE FRIENDS WITH HIM.

MMM-HMM.

AND YOU WANT HIM TO CONTINUE TO COME AROUND THE TWO OF YOU.

WE STILL HAVE TO WORK TOGETHER.

AND YOU'RE GONNA CONTINUE TO WORK TOGETHER

AND YOU DON'T EXPECT HIM TO HAVE FEELINGS ABOUT THIS?

I'M-- I AM NOT NEGATING HIS FEELINGS IN ANY WAY,

SHAPE, OR FORM. - OKAY-- GOOD.

I UNDERSTAND WHERE HE IS COMING FROM.

OKAY.

NOW, MIND YOU, DR. SHERRY, GABE IS NOT STATING THIS,

BUT THERE IS SOMEONE THAT HE HAD A SITUATION WITH

WHO IS STILL IN OUR LIVES. - GABE, IS THAT TRUE?

YEAH, THAT'S TRUE.

SO, YOU HAVE AN OPEN MARRIAGE NOW?

THAT-THAT'S WHAT I'M WONDERING?

- OH, UH-UH. - THAT'S WHAT I'M WONDERING.

NO, I DON'T.

RIGHT NOW, WHERE IS THIS MARRIAGE?

WHAT IS IT THAT YOU WANT FROM EACH OTHER?

DO YOU WANT TO REDEFINE THIS AS AN "OPEN MARRIAGE"?

MAYBE YOU DO-- MAYBE YOU DON'T.

OR YOU'RE GONNA LOOK AT, "OKAY, YOU KNOW,

"YOU'VE DONE SOME THINGS-- I'VE DONE SOME THINGS.

"BUT WHAT IS IT THAT WE WANT RIGHT NOW?"

DECIDE WHAT YOU WANT TO DO TODAY.

YOU'VE GOT TO CHOOSE SOMETHING,

BUT YOU'VE GOTTA TRUST ONE ANOTHER.

THE NUMBER ONE THING FOR A RELATIONSHIP TO WORK IS TRUST,

AND GABE AND I, WE JUST DON'T TRUST EACH OTHER ANYMORE.

YOU CAN'T CHANGE YESTERDAY.

THAT WOUND IS OPEN, AND WHAT I'M WONDERING,

WILL IT EVER HEAL?

I DO NOT APPRECIATE WHEN MY CHILDREN SAY

AND DO THINGS IN A VERY DISRESPECTFUL WAY.

THANK YOU.

SO, I HAD TO SOMEWHAT CONFRONT TAMAR

ABOUT BEING DISRESPECTFUL.

I'VE ALWAYS KEPT IT REAL AND I'M GONNA DO IT NOW.

I THINK YOU WERE BEING DISRESPECTFUL.

- REALLY? - YEAH.

BUT WHAT PART WAS BEIN' DISRESPECTFUL?

I THINK YOUR WHOLE ATTITUDE.

YOU DON'T THINK A PART OF IT WAS A LITTLE INSTIGATED

BY SAYING THAT--

I'M SORRY-- WOULD YOU REPEAT THAT?

JUST GO AHEAD AND SAY WHAT YOU GOTTA SAY.

I WAS SAYING THAT, YOU KNOW,

I THINK IT WAS A LITTLE INSTIGATED,

BECAUSE I JUST FELT LIKE EVERY TIME I TURNED AROUND,

SOMEBODY IS "POP, POP, POP, POP"

AND "WOP, WOP, WOP" AND "DO, DO, DO."

YOU KNOW, I WAS PRETTY MUCH HURT.

YEAH, NOT ONLY YOU, BUT IT SEEMED TO ME THAT

YOUR OTHER SISTERS ARE BECOMING VERY DISRESPECTFUL

AND IT'S TO A POINT THAT I'M NOT HAVING IT,

AS SIMPLE AS THAT.

I THINK I FULLY RESPECT MY MOM.

I THINK I BETTER.

LIKE SHE SAY, SHE'LL SLAP THE PISS OUTTA ME

IF I DON'T RESPECT HER,

AND I DON'T WANT THAT TO HAPPEN.

I WANT TO APOLOGIZE 'CAUSE I DON'T NEVER WANNA--

I'M SORRY-- WHAT, NOW?

I'M SORRY-- SAY THAT ONE MORE TIME.

I DON'T NEED MY EARS CHECKED.

YOU JUST REPEAT IT, HOW 'BOUT THAT?

I SAID I WANTED TO APOLOGIZE

'CAUSE I DON'T WANNA TO HURT YOUR FEELINGS

AND I DON'T WANNA BE DISRESPECTFUL.

WHAT WE GONNA DO IS LET BYGONES BE BYGONES.

YOU SAY THAT WAS NOT YOUR INTENTION, I WILL ACCEPT THAT.

MMM-KAY.

HERE'S TO YOU AND I.

AND HERE'S TO THE GREATEST DAUGHTER,

ONE OF THE GREATEST DAUGHTERS IN THE WORLD.

- THANK YOU. - HERE, HERE.

AND TO A GREAT MAMA.

SO, WHAT ABOUT THE ALBUM?

- WHAT, MINE? - NO, FAMILY ALBUM.

IF WE DO A FAMILY ALBUM,

I WILL EVEN SING- SING ON THE ALBUM.

WHAT... WHAT?

HUH?

WHAT IS MY MAMA TALKIN' ABOUT?

SHE WANTS TO BE ON THE BRAXTON'S ALBUM.

LIKE, FOR REAL?

YOU SEE GAGA, RIHANNA, OR EVEN BEYONCE MAMA PERFORMIN'

WITH THEM?

UH-UH-- THAT IS NOT HOT.

YOU CAN'T SING WITH US. - I'M SORRY?

MOMMY, YOU HAVE TO GO GET YOUR HEARING CHECKED.

- OH, OKAY. - ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.

OKAY.

YOU GO THERE FIRST AND THEN WE TALK ABOUT DOING THE RECORD.

OH, OKAY.

I DON'T NECESSARILY THINK IT'S THE GREATEST IDEA.

WHAT ARE YOU SAYIN'?

YOU GUYS'LL BE KNOCKIN' MY DOOR DOWN, BEGGIN' ME.

- MOMMY. - THAT'S WHAT YOU SHOULD DO.

- OKAY, MY ANSWER'S "NO." - I TAUGHT YOU HOW TO SING.

I KNOW SOMETHIN'! - UH-UH.

WHAT!

I JUST WANT ONE SONG.

MAYBE.
