THE

THE WEDDING

THE WEDDING IS

THE WEDDING IS NOT

THE WEDDING IS NOT GONNA

THE WEDDING IS NOT GONNA TAKE

THE WEDDING IS NOT GONNA TAKE PLACE.

- WHO CANCELED IT? - IT WAS YOU.

YOU CALLED THE WEDDING OFF. - WE!

- WE'VE INVESTED TIME-- - AND MONEY.

- MONEY. - MONEY?

I'M GETTING NEW MANAGEMENT.

I-I JUST THINK IT'S BETTER,

JUST TO KEEP MY FAMILY AS MY FAMILY,

AND MY BUSINESS AS MY BUSINESS.

I DON'T KNOW.

IT'S JUST-IT'S JUST-- MAYBE IT'S ME,

BUT-- - IT IS.

WHY CAN'T I SING IT? - ABSOLUTELY NOT.

WHY CAN'T I SING "MAN ENOUGH FOR ME,"

?

I WOULD LIKE TO TRY THAT, KERI.

I MENTIONED THAT TO HIM BEFORE HE GAVE ME THE STINK EYE.

I'M DEEPLY SADDENED FOR THE CHOICES I MADE.

YOU KNOW, SEXUAL INTERNET STUFF, AS YOU ARE AWARE.

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

SO, TELL ME WHAT YOU BEEN DOING

WITH YOUR BEAUTIFUL SELF TODAY.

JUST KINDA-- SOMEWHAT RUNNING AROUND.

TAKING CARE OF WHAT I NEED TO TAKE CARE OF.

MMM-HMM.

EVERYTHING AT THE BRIDAL SHOP, THE VENUE,

AND EVERYTHING WENT WELL, THE CONVERSATION?

WELL, UM...

YOU HAVE A RIGHT TO KNOW WHAT I'M FEELING.

YESTERDAY, I SAT DOWN AND I THOUGHT ABOUT IT,

ABOUT GETTING MARRIED.

I CAME TO THE CONCLUSION, THAT'S NOT WHAT I WANT TO DO.

ESPECIALLY, RIGHT NOW.

I THINK, WHEN YOU ASKED ME TO MARRY YOU, AND I SAID,

"SOUNDS GOOD TO ME,"

IT REALLY WASN'T AN ANSWER.

I-I'M JUST SAYING. - MMM-HMM.

IT SHOULD'VE BEEN, "OH, YES!"

IT WASN'T LIKE THAT.

REGINALD, DON'T TAKE IT PERSONAL.

I THANK GOD FOR YA.

I THINK YOU'RE A WONDERFUL PERSON-- I REALLY DO.

I REALLY DON'T WANNA GET MARRIED.

LITTLE SURPRISED.

UH, BUT I ALSO KNOW THAT I HAVE TO RESPECT, ALSO,

YOU KNOW, THE THINGS THAT YOU'RE FEELING.

I DON'T WANNA GO INTO, UH, MARRIAGE,

AND MAKE YOUR LIFE MISERABLE,

BECAUSE I'M NOT SURE.

BECAUSE, WHEN IT'S ALL SAID AND DONE,

IT'S JUST THE TWO OF US.

PEOPLE CAN STILL HAVE A RELATIONSHIP

AND NOT SAY, "I DO."

I VERY MUCH WANNA CONTINUE THE RELATIONSHIP,

BECAUSE, YOU KNOW WHAT?

I'M NOT GOING ANYWHERE.

THIS IS A CUTE STORE.

THIS MORNING, I WENT SHOPPING WITH TOWANDA,

'CAUSE I REALLY WANTED TO TALK TO HER

ABOUT MY SITUATION WITH GABE.

WELL, I WAS GONNA ASK YOU,

ARE YOU AND ANDRE GONNA GIVE IT ANOTHER CHANCE?

ONLY 'CAUSE I REALLY WANT YOU TO.

TRINA, I DON'T KNOW.

THERE'S NO CHEATERIZATION AND STUFF GOING ON.

YOU'RE NOT GOING THROUGH THE SAME PROBLEMS

I'M GOING THROUGH. - SO, WHAT ARE Y'ALL GONNA DO?

I ALREADY TOLD Y'ALL THAT WE WERE SEPARATED.

RIGHT, RIGHT.

EVER SINCE GABE GOT CAUGHT CHEATING ON THE INTERNET, UH,

WE BARELY SPEAK, AND WE ARE SLEEPING IN SEPARATE ROOMS.

I DON'T WANNA SOUND LIKE A STUPID PERSON AT ALL,

BUT IT'S LIKE-- I'M LIKE, OKAY.

IT'S NOT LIKE HE WENT OUT AND .

DO YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT I'M SAYING?

OKAY, SO, WHAT IS CHEATING TO YOU?

BUT, TO ME, THAT IS STILL CHEATING, THOUGH.

THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING.

IT'S ALL ABOUT YOUR DEFINITION OF CHEATING.

YOU SEE WHAT I MEAN? - I MEAN, I'M NOT GONNA SAY,

"OKAY, IT'S OKAY FOR YOU TO BE ON THE INTERNET,

WITH YOUR ."

NO-- I KNOW YOU'RE NOT GONNA DO THAT.

WITH YOUR WHAT? - WITH YOUR .

GABE HASN'T PHYSICALLY CHEATED ON ME,

BUT HE'S BEEN HAVING RELATIONS WITH STRANGERS ON THE INTERNET.

AND, TO ME, THAT'S STILL CHEATING.

- HAS HE APOLOGIZED TO YOU? - YEAH.

DO YOU THINK THAT IT WAS REALLY HEARTFELT?

IT-- THE LAST TIME HE APOLOGIZED

WAS REALLY HEARTFELT, AND THEN, YOU KNOW,

HE WAS LIKE, "TRINA, I'M SO SORRY.

"YOU KNOW, I NEVER MEANT TO HURT YOU,

"AND I DON'T WANNA HURT YOU,

"AND I DON'T LIKE TO SEE YOU HURT.

"AND-AND, I KNOW THAT YOUR HURT AND YOUR PAIN

"WAS CAUSED BY ME."

AND-AND HE ALSO SAID THAT

HE WANTS TO APOLOGIZE TO THE FAMILY.

- REALLY? - YES.

- FOR WHAT? - FOR STUFF THAT HE SAID.

- OH, ON THE WEB? - MMM-HMM.

I THOUGHT IT WAS GOOD THAT HE WANTED TO.

YEAH... THAT'S A START.

THIS TIME, GABE'S BEHAVIOR JUST DIDN'T AFFECT ME.

IT AFFECTED OUR WHOLE ENTIRE FAMILY.

GABE SAID SOME THINGS ABOUT THEM PUBLICLY,

AND NONE OF THEM WERE TRUE.

AND, HE FEELS LIKE HE WANTS TO APOLOGIZE TO THEM,

AND I THINK THAT'S GREAT.

HOWEVER, I DON'T WANNA BE THERE,

FOR HIM TO DO THAT.

I THINK THAT I'VE RELIVED ENOUGH,

AND I DON'T WANNA BE THERE FOR THIS AGAIN.

I JUST DON'T WANNA LOOK LIKE A DUMB GIRL.

- TO WHO? - JUST-- EVEN TO ME.

I JUST DON'T WANNA LOOK LIKE A DUMB GIRL.

DO YOU LOOK LIKE A DUMB GIRL TO YOU?

SOMETIMES.

EVERY TIME I TALK ABOUT GABE, OVER AND OVER AGAIN,

IT'S LIKE REOPENING WOUNDS,

OVER AND OVER AGAIN.

AND, I JUST DON'T KNOW WHERE OUR MARRIAGE CAN GO FROM HERE.

I KNOW, HERE-- YOU WISH.

READY?

I'M NOT GONNA WISH ON SOME LOTION.

- TRINA, LET'S JUST WISH. - I DON'T-- STOP, TOWANDA.

I WISH TRINA WOULD NOT CARE

ABOUT WHAT ANYBODY SAYS,

AND MAKE HER OWN DECISIONS.

HAPPY FACE.

OH, LOOK-- IT GAVE YOU A HAPPY FACE!

GOOD MORNING.

IT'S COLD OUT HERE, HUH?

I FINALLY HAD A TALK WITH VINCE ABOUT CHANGING MY MANAGEMENT.

HE WAS COOL WITH IT.

HE UNDERSTOOD WHERE I WAS COMING FROM,

AND WANTING TO SEPARATE MYSELF FROM MY FAMILY AND BUSINESS,

AND HE AGREED.

SO, TODAY, I AM MEETING WITH MY NEW TEAM.

I'M EXCITED, MAN.

I'M EXCITED ABOUT THIS RECORD.

I JUST THINK THAT YOU EARNED THE RIGHT TO SEEK FREEDOM.

- YEAH, IT'S TIME. - AND IT'S NOT-IT'S NOT ABOUT,

LIKE, YOU KNOW, DUMBIN' IT DOWN TO FIT A CERTAIN FORMAT.

- WHATEVER.

IT'S ABOUT JUST, YOU KNOW, PUTTING IT OUT THERE,

ENGAGING YOUR BASE, AND GETTING 'EM BACK INTERESTED,

AND TALKING ABOUT YOU, AND, LIKE, GETTING EXCITED,

AND YOU HAVING FUN WITH THE RECORD.

- AND IT'S YOUR RECORD. - YEAH.

YOU WROTE IT, YOU PRODUCED IT WITH KERI.

I MEAN, I THINK THAT'S FANTASTIC.

YOU KNOW, IT'S A GREAT RECORD.

PEOPLE ARE DYING TO HEAR SOME NEW MUSIC FROM YOU, TONI.

I'M DYING TO GET BACK OUT.

MY PLANS FOR THE FUTURE,

NOW THAT I'VE SWITCHED MANAGEMENT,

IS TO PUT OUT A SINGLE, AND TO DO IT INDEPENDENTLY,

AND THIS NEW TEAM GETS IT,

AND THEY UNDERSTAND WHAT'S INVOLVED

WITH PUTTING SOMETHING OUT INDEPENDENTLY,

AND HOW IT CAN BE SCARY.

BUT, WE'RE GONNA DO IT, AND I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO IT.

SO, WE HAVE A GREAT, NEW OPPORTUNITY,

FOR YOU TO GO TO SUNDANCE THIS YEAR.

WHICH I THINK IS GONNA BE REALLY COOL.

THEY HAVE ASKED YOU TO PERFORM,

AND I THINK IT'LL BE A LOT OF FUN.

AND IT'S A GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR YOU TO SPEND SOME TIME WITH

AND MEET A LOT OF THE BEST INDEPENDENT FILM ARTISTS,

AND I THINK THERE ARE GONNA BE A LOT OF GREAT OPPORTUNITIES

FOR YOU, IN INDEPENDENT FILM.

I HAVE BEEN INVITED TO PERFORM AT A PRIVATE PARTY,

AT THE SUNDANCE FILM FESTIVAL,

AND IT'S GONNA BE REALLY SMALL AND INTIMATE,

WHICH IS PERFECT FOR ME, AND I'M EXCITED.

I'M REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO GETTING BACK ON THE STAGE AGAIN.

THEY CAN BE A TOUGH CROWD, 'CAUSE THEY'RE INDUSTRY PEOPLE.

I THINK THEY'RE GONNA BE SO EXCITED

TO HAVE YOU SING FOR THEM.

I THINK THEY'RE GONNA BE JUST ECSTATIC.

YOU KNOW, ONE THING ABOUT INDUSTRY PEOPLE,

THEY JUST-THEY CAN BE TOO COOL.

LIKE, I MIGHT WRINKLE-- - WHOLE BUNCH OF FONZIE'S

IN THE ROOM, YA KNOW? - I DON'T WANNA CLAP.

I MIGHT WRINKLE MY SUIT, YOU KNOW?

- EXACTLY-- OKAY. - YOU CAN WARM 'EM UP.

- OKAY. - I KNOW IT.

ALL RIGHT, HERE WE GO.

OKAY, LORD FATHER, THY GOD.

TODAY, WE PRAY THAT WE DON'T GET TOO DRUNK,

OR WE DON'T GAIN ANYMORE WEIGHT.

AND, MAKE SURE THAT NOBODY WHO PREPARED THIS FOOD

HAD DIRTY HANDS, SO WE DON'T GET SICK.

IN THE NAME OF JESUS, WE PRAY-- AMEN.

AMEN.

MOMMY AND THE GIRLS HAVE ALL COME OUT TO L.A.,

FOR A LITTLE BREAK FROM THE WEDDING PLANNING,

AND IT'S BEEN AWHILE SINCE WE GOT TOGETHER

JUST TO DO SOME QUALITY GIRL TIME,

WITHOUT WORRYING ABOUT THE WEDDING PLANNING AND MEN,

AND MOMMY THINKING WE'RE TAKING OVER.

- CAN I JUST SAY THIS, GIRLS? - SURE.

I'M SO ELATED ABOUT OUR RELATIONSHIPS.

I FEEL LIKE WE'VE GOTTEN BACK TO SISTERHOOD AND STUFF.

GOD IS GREAT FOR THAT-- LET'S TOAST TO THAT.

IT'S THE WEDDING THAT'S DOING THAT.

I THINK SO!

- CAN YOU PASS THE CHAMPAGNE? - CLINK-CLINK-CLINK-CLINK.

YES, YES, YES-- CLINK-CLINK-CLINK-CLINK.

- TO THE BRIDE AND GROOM! - AND GROOM!

TO THE BRIDE AND GROOM!

YEAH, BABY!

YOU KNOW, I-I-I HATE TO BUST EVERYBODY BUBBLE,

BUT-- - WHAT-- YOU CHANGE THE DATE?

IT'S NOT-- NO, IT'S NOT GONNA TAKE PLACE.

WHAT'S NOT GONNA TAKE PLACE?

THE WEDDING IS NOT GONNA TAKE PLACE.

COMING UP, ON "BRAXTON FAMILY VALUES"...

- WHO CANCELED IT? - YOU DID.

- IT WAS YOU. - WE!

YOU CALLED OFF THE WEDDING, THOUGH.

WE'VE INVESTED TIME-- - AND MONEY.

- MONEY. - MONEY?

I'M GETTING NEW MANAGEMENT.

WAIT A MINUTE-- I MISSED IT ALL.

WHAT HAD HAPPENED?

I HATE TO BUST EVERYBODY BUBBLE.

WHAT-- YOU CHANGE THE DATE?

IT'S NOT-- NO, IT'S NOT GONNA TAKE PLACE.

WHAT'S NOT GONNA TAKE PLACE?

THE WEDDING IS NOT GONNA TAKE PLACE.

- WHO CANCELED IT? - YOU DID.

- YOU DID-- I KNOW YOU DID. - WE, WE--

- IT WAS YOU. - WE!

YOU CALLED OFF THE WEDDING, THOUGH.

OF COURSE, MOMMY ALREADY TOLD ME

THAT SHE WAS CANCELING HER WEDDING.

BUT, I HAVE TO PLAY DUMB,

BECAUSE I DON'T WANT MY SISTERS TO FREAK OUT,

THAT I KNEW FIRST.

OKAY, TELL US HOW THE CONVERSATION HAPPENED.

I-I DON'T WANNA GET INTO ALL THE DETAILS.

I MEAN, BECAUSE WE NEED TO KNOW.

- NO, YOU DON'T. - UH-HUH!

BECAUSE WE'VE BEEN-- UH-HUH, BECAUSE WE'VE INVESTED TIME--

- AND MONEY. - MONEY.

- AND ENERGY... - MONEY?

...AND PATIENCE.

NO ONE SHOULD BE SURPRISED THAT MOMMY CANCELED HER WEDDING,

BECAUSE GETTING HER TO PLAN IT

WAS LIKE PULLING HEN'S TEETH.

WHAT HAPPENED, FOR YOU TO SAY, "I DON'T WANNA GET MARRIED?"

- NOTHING EXACTLY-- - INDEFINITELY.

NOT JUST POSTPONED-- LIKE, YOU CANCELED.

BECAUSE I DON'T THINK THAT'S WHAT I WANNA DO.

YOU THINK YOU DON'T WANNA MARRY HIM,

OR YOU DON'T WANNA GET MARRIED, PERIOD?

I JUST DON'T-I DON'T WANNA GET MARRIED.

I WISH MOMMY TOLD US BEFORE WE PLANNED EVERYTHING

AND HAD EVERYTHING BOOKED.

SO, YOU THINK YOU'RE AFRAID OF MARRIAGE,

OR YOU JUST DON'T THINK THAT THIS IS THE RIGHT TIME

FOR YOU TO GET MARRIED? - SHE AFRAID OF LOVE.

LET'S TAKE-TELL THE TRUTH--SHE'S AFRAID OF LOVE.

YOU KNOW WHO I FEEL FOR?

I FEEL FOR DOC, BECAUSE HE LOVE MY MOMMA SO MUCH.

I KNOW IT'S BREAKIN' HIS DAMN HEART.

HOW YOU TURN THE SWITCH OFF LIKE THAT, REAL QUICK?

YEAH, IT'S NOT A LIGHT SWITCH.

I HATE TO SAY I TOLD YOU SO, BUT I TOLD YOU SO!

I KNEW MOMMY WASN'T GONNA GET MARRIED.

SHE DIDN'T EVEN ACT LIKE A WOMAN

WHO WANTED TO GET MARRIED.

SO, I KNEW IT WASN'T GONNA HAPPEN.

DO YOU THINK IT'S NOT THE RIGHT TIME TO GET MARRIED,

OR DO YOU THINK THIS IS NOT THE PERSON

THAT YOU NEED TO GET MARRIED TO?

WELL, I DON'T KNOW,

BUT I-I CAN'T GO BY THE RIGHT TIME,

'CAUSE TIME IS DEFINITELY-- LET'S KEEP IT REAL.

NOT ON MY SIDE. - WE DON'T KNOW THAT.

SO, WHY YOU BREAK UP WITH HIM, THEN, FOR?

WELL, IT'S NOT BREAK-BREAK UP,

BREAK UP. - RIGHT.

NO, WE-WE'LL STILL GO OUT, FROM TIME TO TIME.

WE'LL STILL DO THAT.

I MEAN, I REALLY DIDN'T EXPECT FOR THEM

TO WALK DOWN THE AISLE ANYWAY.

I THOUGHT SHE WAS GONNA CALL IT OFF, LIKE,

FIVE MINUTES BEFORE THE WEDDING.

I'M ACTUALLY GLAD THAT SHE DID IT THIS EARLY.

I APPLAUD YOU FOR CALLING IT OFF,

BECAUSE, YOU KNOW,

IF WE WOULD'VE PUT OUR TIME AND MONEY

AND EFFORT TO THE SITUATION--

YOU ALREADY TALKIN' ABOUT THAT, THE MONEY AND--

NO, AND I'M SAYING, AND YOU WALK DOWN THAT AISLE,

AND THEN, YOU KNOW, AFTER 20 SOME DAYS,

YOU'RE LIKE, "AND SCENE-- I CAN'T DO THIS NO MORE."

I MEAN, IT'S BETTER TO KNOW NOW AND JUST BE HONEST ABOUT IT.

YOU WASN'T SURE ABOUT YOUR DRESS.

YOU WASN'T SURE ABOUT YOUR CAKE.

YOU WASN'T SURE ABOUT YOUR COLORS.

YOU DIDN'T WANNA PICK OUT NO CHINA.

YOU DIDN'T PICK OUT NO FLOWERS.

YOU COULDN'T PICK OUT THE FOOD.

SHE WAS GOING THROUGH THE MOTION.

LIKE, "OKAY." - YES, YOU WAS JUST LIKE,

"WHAT DO Y'ALL THINK?

"WHAT DO Y'ALL WANT?"

AND IT WAS ALMOST LIKE, YOU WERE DOING IT FOR US,

INSTEAD OF YOU.

SO, THEREFORE, THAT MEANS THAT YOU WAS NOT READY.

SO, I'M JUST TRYING TO TELL YOU RIGHT NOW, BABY,

I'M HAPPY YOU CALLED IT OFF. - CHEERS!

I THINK THE GIRLS UNDERSTAND A LOT MORE

THAN I GIVE THEM CREDIT FOR.

MOM, I'M SO GLAD YOU'RE HERE.

THANK YOU, SWEETIE-- I'M GLAD I'M HERE ALSO.

AFTER BRUNCH, MY MOM AND I GOT A FEW MINUTES TO OURSELVES,

WHICH IS GOOD,

BECAUSE I WANNA GET HER OPINION ON SOMETHING.

VINCE IS NO LONGER MY MANAGER, BUT TAMAR DOESN'T KNOW YET,

AND VINCE AND I DECIDED I SHOULD BE THE ONE TO TELL TAMAR,

BECAUSE SHE'S PROBABLY GONNA BE MAD AT ME ABOUT IT ANYWAY.

SO, JUST GET IT OVER WITH.

SO, HOW'VE YOU BEEN, SWEETIE?

- I'VE BEEN GOOD. - GOOD.

I'M ACTUALLY EXCITED,

'CAUSE I FINALLY HAD THE CONVERSATION WITH VINCE.

REMEMBER, I TOLD YOU I WAS GONNA HAVE IT?

YEAH, YOU DID.

SO, I FEEL LIKE A BURDEN'S LIFTED OFF OF ME.

- MMM-HMM. - I FEEL BETTER,

'CAUSE IT WAS SENSITIVE, YOU KNOW, FAMILY STUFF.

- SOMETIME, IT'S TOO MUCH. - IT'S REALLY TOO MUCH.

THAT'S ONE OF THE REASONS

I DON'T WANNA DO A BRAXTON ALBUM.

I THINK IT'S TOO MUCH.

I REALLY DON'T KNOW VINCE'S RELATIONSHIPS

WITH HIS OTHER ARTISTS.

I CAN SAY, FOR ME,

THAT I THINK IT JUST-- HE'S SPREAD TOO THINLY.

HE HAS A LOT OF OTHER ARTISTS.

HE MANAGES MY SISTER AND IT MAKES IT HARDER,

BECAUSE TAMAR IS MY SISTER.

BUT I KNOW IT'S GONNA BE A LITTLE THING WITH TAMAR,

SO WE'LL SEE WHAT HAPPENS. - SHE'LL BE ALL RIGHT.

SHE WON'T, AT FIRST.

SHE'LL BE A LITTLE... - YEAH.

- SENSITIVE. - BUT, I-I THINK

WHEN SHE COME TO THE REALITY THAT,

JUST LIKE SHE NEED TO VENTURE OUT

AND DO WHAT SHE NEED TO DO,

I THINK SHE WILL UNDERSTAND THAT YOU NEED TO VENTURE OUT,

ALSO, AND DO WHAT YOU NEED TO DO,

AND SO DO THE OTHER GIRLS.

IT'LL BE OKAY.

OKAY.

I AM SURE THAT TAMAR IS GONNA TAKE THIS NEWS PERSONALLY.

SHE HAS TO UNDERSTAND IT-- THIS IS MY LIFE,

AND IT'S TOO COMPLICATED WITH VINCE MANAGING ME.

HE'S A GREAT MANAGER, BUT JUST NOT FOR ME.

IN OUR FAMILY, WE'RE JUST ALWAYS--

WE'RE LIKE PEANUT BUTTER AND JELLY.

WE'RE ALWAYS TOGETHER-- WE'RE LIKE VELCRO.

IT'S TOO MUCH. - WELL, YOU KNOW WHAT?

I'MA GO UPSTAIRS AND UNPACK.

- OKAY, WANT ME TO HELP YOU? - NO.

NO-NO-NO-NO-NO-NO-NO-- LOVE YA.

- LOVE YOU, TOO. - SEE YA, BOO.

- HEY, LITTLE BIRDIE. - I KNOW, RIGHT?

TRINA'S GETTING NERVOUS. - I KNOW-- TRINA HATES BIRDS.

- WELL, THAT'S A SPARROW. - I DON'T CARE.

- EYES ON THE SPARROW. - SHE HAS A PHOBIA.

- SO, WHAT'S UP, GALS? - NOTHING.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN, NOTHING?

YOU THE ONE CALLED THE FAMILY LUNCHEON.

'CAUSE WE GOT TO HAVE LUNCHEONS,

AND WE SAID WE WERE GONNA DO THIS EVERY WEEK.

I KNOW, BUT YOU MAKE ME A LITTLE NERVOUS,

WHEN FAMILY LUNCHEONS-- - NOTHIN'S GOING ON.

I SWEAR, NOTHIN'S GOING ON-- JUST THE SAME OLD, SAME OLD.

I'M GONNA TELL TAMAR TODAY, VINCE IS NO LONGER MY MANAGER.

IT'S JUST TIME TO MOVE ON.

I'M GONNA TELL HER NOW, AND HERE IT GOES.

I'M GETTING NEW MANAGEMENT.

WAIT A MINUTE-- I MISSED IT ALL.

WHAT HAD HAPPENED?

SO, MY SISTER, TONI BRAXTON,

IS TELLING ME MY HUSBAND, VINCENT HERBERT,

IS NO LONGER GOING TO BE HER MANAGER.

LIKE, I DON'T GET IT.

I THINK, BECAUSE OF US AND BEING FAMILY,

AND WITH VINCE MANAGING, WE GET TOO EMMESHED,

'CAUSE WE'RE ALL FAMILY.

SO, IT'S CHALLENGING SOMETIME,

TRYING TO DIFFERENTIATE ROLES, OR WHAT TO SAY.

YOU DON'T WANNA SAY THINGS TO MAKE EACH OTHER FEEL BAD.

I THINK THAT'S ON BOTH SIDES.

IT IS NOT SURPRISING TO ME THAT TAMAR'S BEING QUIET,

BECAUSE WHEN IT COMES TO MATTERS OF TONI AND VINCE,

TAMAR PRETTY MUCH STAYS OUT OF IT.

AND I DON'T WANNA WALK IN THE DARK ANYMORE.

NO MORE OF THAT, LIKE, BLINDERS ON.

I NEED TO HAVE A PLAN AND TRY TO IMPLEMENT A PLAN.

A MANGER, IN MY DEFINITION, IS TO MANAGE A CAREER.

NOT CREATE A CAREER. - I AGREE.

I DON'T THINK IT'S ABOUT CREATE.

I THINK YOU GET TOGETHER, YOU TALK.

"THIS IS MY PLANS-- THIS IS WHAT I SEE."

BUT, MORE SO, IT'S ABOUT PEOPLE WHO ARE WILLING

TO PUT IN THE WORK.

IF NOT, WHY DO YOU NEED MANAGEMENT,

I DON'T KNOW.

IT'S JUST-IT'S JUST-- MAYBE IT'S ME,

BUT-- - IT IS.

I-I CAN'T PUT THAT MUCH RESPONSIBILITY ON--

- I CAN. - NO, I'M TALK-- TAMAR, T.T.

I CAN'T PUT THAT MUCH RESPONSIBILITY ON SOMEBODY.

LIKE, I-I STILL WANT TO BE RESPONSIBLE

FOR MY OWN CAREER MOVES.

BUT, I-I THINK MANAGEMENT SHOULD ALSO,

WHEN YOU SAY YOU WANT THINGS, THEY GO OUT AND GET IT FOR YOU.

I'M RELIEVED THAT TONI HAS FOUND NEW MANAGEMENT.

MAYBE NOW, SHE'LL GET SOME WORK.

I JUST THINK IT'S BETTER JUST TO KEEP...

MY FAMILY AS MY FAMILY,

AND MY BUSINESS AS MY BUSINESS.

YEAH, I'M HAPPY FOR YOU--CONGRATULATIONS.

- MOM! - WHAT?

I'M EXCITED ABOUT WHATEVER YOU DOING WITH YOUR MAN.

AND THIS ONE,

WHATEVER YOU'RE DOING WITH YOUR MANAGEMENT,

THAT'S GREAT.

I'M TOTALLY FINE WITH TONI NOT WANTING VINCE

TO BE HER MANAGER ANYMORE.

THAT IS TOTALLY BETWEEN THE TWO OF THEM.

I AM NOT GETTING INVOLVED-- STOP ASKING ME.

STOP COMPLAINING TO ME, BOTH OF 'EM,

ABOUT EACH OTHER.

I DON'T WANNA HEAR IT.

WELL, LET'S JUST TOAST TO A NEW BRAXTON CHAPTER,

AND LET'S JUST SEE HOW IT GOES.

- YES. - IT'S GONNA GO WELL.

TO SEEING HOW IT GOES-- HEY!

TAMAR TOOK THAT BETTER THAN I EXPECTED,

BUT I'M SURE SHE'S STILL UPSET WITH ME,

AND SHE'S NOT GONNA HOLD BACK.

KNOWING HER, IT'LL PROBABLY COME UP

IN A COMPLETELY UNRELATED ARGUMENT.

OOH, ABOUT TOMORROW MAYBE, IN THE EVENING.

MAYBE IN A FEW WEEKS.

BUT I'M JUST GLAD IT'S BEHIND ME,

AND WE CAN MOVE FORWARD,

AND I'M FLYING TO SUNDANCE TOMORROW, TO PERFORM.

I'M EXCITED.

COMING UP, ON "BRAXTON FAMILY VALUES"...

ALL RIGHT, GUYS, ARE YOU READY TO HAVE FUN?

YEAH!

YOU READY TO HAVE AN ORGY?

I REALLY WANTED TO TAKE SOME TIME TO SHARE WITH EVERYBODY,

UH, ABOUT SOME RECENT CHOICES THAT I MADE.

CAN I HAVE ANOTHER ONE OF THESE, PLEASE?

- YEAH, YOU BETTER! - CAN Y'ALL STOP?

THE DAY AFTER OUR LUNCH, EVERYONE FLEW HOME,

AND I HEADED TO PARK CITY, UTAH,

FOR MY PERFORMANCE AT A PRIVATE PARTY,

AT THE SUNDANCE FILM FESTIVAL,

AND I'M REALLY EXCITED.

I LOVE THE SNOW.

- YOU JUST HAD TO DO IT. - I HAD TO-- I HAD TO.

- LIKE BROOKE. - I HAD TO.

THIS PERFORMANCE IS VERY INTIMATE.

THE AUDIENCE IS SO CLOSE-- I HAVE TO MAKE SURE

EVERYTHING'S A LITTLE MORE PERFECT.

I CAN'T HAVE ANY IN MY NOSE.

HAVE TO MAKE SURE THE BOOBIES ARE PERFECTLY ALIGNED.

BECAUSE, THAT CLOSE, THEY CAN SEE EVERY FLAW.

SOMETIMES, WHEN YOU'RE AT A BIG ARENA,

YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT, "IS MY HAIRLINE GREAT?

"IS THIS LIP LINER PERFECT?"

BECAUSE THEY CAN'T SEE THAT FAR AWAY.

BUT, HERE, THEY CAN SEE EVERYTHING.

THEY CAN SEE IF I FORGET TO FLOSS.

PEOPLE BE SITTING OVER THERE, RIGHT?

HOW AM I GONNA GET DOWN?

IT'S A STEP, RIGHT HERE.

I'VE BEEN WORKING WITH KERI, MY "WUSBAND,"

AND WE HAVE A GREAT WORKING RELATIONSHIP.

KERI'S ROLE IN MY CAREER IS NUMEROUS.

HE'S MY TOUR MANAGER.

HE'S MY FRONT OF HOUSE SOUND GUY.

HE MAKES SURE MY LIGHTS ARE PERFECT.

THAT MY MIC'S EXACTLY THE WAY I WANT.

WHY CAN'T I SING IT? - ABSOLUTELY NOT.

WE HAVE A SONG LIST.

USUALLY, WHEN YOU PERFORM, FOR ANY KIND OF PARTY,

PRIVATE PARTY, THEY HAVE THEIR REQUESTS.

AND, I WANTED TO ADD "MAN ENOUGH FOR ME,"

YOU KNOW, PICK UP THE PACE A LITTLE BIT,

AND KERI'S DEAD SET AGAINST IT.

WHY CAN'T I SING "MAN ENOUGH FOR ME?"

I WOULD LIKE TO TRY THAT, KERI.

I MENTIONED THAT TO HIM BEFORE HE GAVE ME THE STINK EYE.

CAN I TRY IT? - TRY WHAT?

WHAT I MENTIONED.

I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY IT CAN'T BE THE OTHER ONE.

MMM-MMM-- DON'T DO THAT.

WE GOOD? - KERI'S PROBABLY RIGHT.

I'M GONNA GIVE THAT UP TO HIM,

AND WE SHOULD STICK TO WHAT WE'VE AGREED UPON.

THIS IS ONE OF THE REASONS I LIKE HIM BEING AROUND.

HE'S MY VOICE OF REASONING,

AND A LOT OF PEOPLE WOULD PROBABLY JUST

LET ME GO AND HAVE MY WAY.

I DON'T LIKE A LOT OF "YES" PEOPLE.

YOU NEED TO HAVE "NO" PEOPLE AROUND YOU,

TO KEEP YOU LINED UP.

TO KEEP YOU IN CHECK ON YOUR REALITY.

IT'S COLD OUTSIDE.

I HAVE A NEW ASSISTANT.

I LOVE ZO.

ZO DOES SOME OTHER THINGS FOR ME,

BUT HE'S NOT GONNA BE MY ASSISTANT.

UM, HE WASN'T AS PSYCHIC AS I NEEDED HIM TO BE.

DID YOU GET A CHANCE TO GO TO THE GROCERY STORE?

- YEAH. - WHERE'S THE FRUIT?

ZO, DID YOU FORGET TO GET THE STUFF?

OKAY.

I GOT ALEX THROUGH MY MANAGEMENT COMPANY,

SO I REALLY HOPE HE WORKS OUT.

I'M HEADING INTO MY SUPER BUSY TIME OF MY CAREER,

AND I NEED AN AMAZING ASSISTANT BY MY SIDE,

THROUGH ALL OF IT.

WHOO! - YOU ALL RIGHT?

SHOOT!

IT'S FREEZING OUT THERE.

ALL RIGHT, DAWN, I'M READY TO DO MY HAIR.

GOOD MORNING.

HI-- COME ON IN. - HI.

THE GIRLS ASKED A LOT OF QUESTIONS,

AT BRUNCH THE OTHER DAY,

ABOUT WHY EXACTLY I COULDN'T GO THROUGH WITH THE WEDDING.

I JUST COULDN'T ANSWER THEM.

AND SO, I FELT LIKE I NEEDED TO GO SEE DR. SHERRY,

TO, HOPEFULLY, GET SOME CLARITY ABOUT WHAT I'M FEELING.

HAVEN'T SEEN YOU IN SUCH A LONG TIME.

- BEEN A MINUTE. - I KNOW, BUT YOU LOOK GREAT.

YOU LOOK WONDERFUL, AS USUAL. - YEAH, THANKS, DOC-- THANKS.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. - I KNOW, I KNOW.

WHO WOULD EVER KNOW YOU'RE THE MOTHER OF SIX?

HOW DO YOU KEEP IT TOGETHER? - I DON'T KNOW.

I GUESS, GOD AND ME, WE DOING PRETTY GOOD.

SO, TELL ME, WHAT'S GOING ON NOW?

WHAT'S BRINGING YOU IN TODAY? - A WHOLE LOT.

THERE'S A WHOLE LOT. - OKAY.

UM, I DECIDED NOT TO GET MARRIED.

- OH, THAT'S A BIGGIE. - IT WAS A BIGGIE.

THAT WAS A STRUGGLE, IN TERMS OF DECIDING TO GET MARRIED,

WASN'T IT? - YEAH, IT WAS A STRUGGLE.

IT WAS A STRUGGLE. - YEAH.

I THINK THAT, WHEN I TOLD DOC, "OKAY-OKAY, I'LL MARRY YOU,"

UM-- 'CAUSE I-I'D SAY, "IT SOUNDS GOOD TO ME."

- OKAY. - YOU KNOW, I NEVER SAID,

"OH, WELL, OKAY, YEAH!" - DID YOU SAY, "YES?"

"OOH, OOH, I'M SO HAPPY!"

I DIDN'T-I DIDN'T DO THAT.

SO, IT WAS JUST SORTA GOING ALONG WITH THE PLAN.

- GOING ALONG WITH THE PLAN. - WHAT HAPPENED?

I THINK A BURNT CHILD IS AFRAID OF FIRE.

- AND YOU'VE BEEN BURNT? - REAL BAD.

- YEAH. - NOT REAL BAD, BUT REAL BAD.

ARE YOU STILL SHOWING THE SCARS?

WELL, YOU KNOW, DR. SHERRY, I GOT MARRIED WHEN I WAS TWO,

AND I ALWAYS TELL PEOPLE THAT BECAUSE I-I WAS QUITE YOUNG.

SO, I NEVER DID ANYTHING FOR EVELYN.

YEAH.

IT WAS ALWAYS ABOUT SOMEONE ELSE,

BUT IT'S MY TIME NOW. - RIGHT.

I LOVE MYSELF SOME ME.

I THINK, NEXT TO GOD,

I'M THE GREATEST THING THAT EVER HAPPENED TO ME.

- HEY, GO GIRL. - NOW, CALL IT SELFISH.

I DON'T CARE. - MMM-HMM.

IT'S ABOUT TIME I BECOME SELFISH, FOR ME.

IT IS YOUR TIME, AND I AM SO GLAD

YOU'RE ABLE TO SEE IT FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH.

GOOD FOR YOU. - YOU KNOW, DOC,

YOU'RE SO RIGHT, BECAUSE YOU KNOW WHAT?

HAPPINESS COME FROM WITHIN. - THAT'S RIGHT.

AND, IF YOU HAVE A MAN IN YOUR LIFE--

I'M NOT PUTTING MEN DOWN. - RIGHT.

I THINK THEY THE GREATEST THING SINCE PEANUT BUTTER.

SURE-- MMM-HMM.

BUT, THEY'RE NOT THERE TO MAKE YOU HAPPY.

THEY'RE JUST AN ADJECTIVE. - THANK YOU-- THANK YOU.

I DON'T NEED 'EM TO MAKE ME HAPPY.

- ABSOLUTELY. - I'M HAPPY.

SPEAKING WITH DR. SHERRY MADE THINGS MUCH CLEARER FOR ME,

AND WHY I CANNOT BE WITH DOC.

I-I DON'T WANNA SHARE MY LIFE WITH ANYBODY.

I DEVOTED THE FIRST PART OF MY LIFE

TO OTHER PEOPLE,

AND I AM DEVOTING THE REST OF MY LIFE

TO ME.

- SO, GO OUT AND ENJOY. - I WILL-- I WILL.

THANK YOU SO MUCH. - THANK YOU SO MUCH.

YEAH. - THANK YOU, DOC.

UH-HUH-- COME ON OUT.

LOOK HOW ASHY MY ELBOWS ARE.

- NEED LOTION FROM ALEX. - ALEX?

NO, DON'T IRON IT.

JUST TEASE THAT... JUST A LITTLE BIT.

NO.

I'M PERFORMING TONIGHT, FOR SUNDANCE, A PRIVATE PARTY,

AND MY NEW ASSISTANT, ALEX, IS NOT BLOWING ME OVER YET.

LOTION ON MY ARMS, ALL THE WAY DOWN.

NO. - UP HERE-- ALL THE WAY?

MY WHOLE ARM.

BLACK PEOPLE ARMS, THEY GET ASHY.

NOT TOO-- WATCH OUT FOR THE CLOTHES.

WATCH THE HAIR-- THE HAIR, THE HAIR.

ALL THE WAY DOWN-- IT'S DRY RIGHT HERE.

ON THE WRIST-- THERE.

WE'RE DONE.

I GOTTA PEE.

I ALWAYS HAVE TO PEE BEFORE I GO ONSTAGE.

I'M SEWED IN-- I REALLY GOTTA PEE.

OKAY.

CLINCH IT.

KEGEL EXERCISES ARE USED TODAY.

SQUEEZING 'EM RIGHT NOW-- CAN YOU TELL?

PROBABLY TOO MUCH INFORMATION.

ALL RIGHT, HERE YOU GO.

SO, AFTER THIS, YOU'RE GONNA ORDER

AND COME BACK TO THE ROOM.

AND WHAT TIME ARE YOU GONNA WANT, UM,

YOUR STEAMED BROCCOLI AND THE VEGETABLES?

I CAN'T THINK RIGHT NOW-- YOU CAN'T ASK ME THAT STUFF.

YOU HAVE TO BE PSYCHIC. - I'M SORRY-- I'M SORRY.

THAT'S OKAY-- YOU HAVE TO BE PSYCHIC.

SO, I'LL JUST, UM, I'LL JUST ORDER IT, LIKE,

RIGHT WHEN YOU-- - DON'T TELL ME.

JUST... DO IT. - OKAY-- ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT.

YOU'RE NEW-- YOU'LL GET IT.

IT'S THE CARELESS MISTAKES THAT COME FROM THE HEART.

YOU CAN'T ASK QUESTIONS BEFORE I PERFORM.

I AM DEFINITELY SPOILED,

AFTER HAVING TOWANDA AS MY ASSISTANT.

AND, I DON'T KNOW IF ALEX WILL EVER BE A TOWANDA.

SHE'S MY SISTER, SO SHE UNDERSTANDS ME DIFFERENTLY.

BUT ALEX IS TRYING REALLY HARD, AND I APPRECIATE THAT,

BUT I THINK I AM JUST SPOILED.

READY? - YEP.

OKAY, LET'S DO IT.

IS IT WEIRD? - YEAH.

DID YOU HAVE TO SAY "YES?"

YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO SAY "NO"-- IS IT REALLY WEIRD?

WHAT MAKES IT WEIRD?

!

MESS UP MY HAIR OR CATCH A COLD.

!

OKAY, WE'RE GOOD.

ALMOST SLIPPING AND BREAKING YOUR NECK,

ON THE WAY UP TO A PERFORMANCE,

IS NOT USUALLY A GOOD SIGN OF THINGS TO COME.

COMING UP, ON "BRAXTON FAMILY VALUES"...

ALL RIGHT, GUYS, I FEEL LIKE A FISH.

ALL RIGHT, GUYS, WE HAVE TO REV THIS UP A LITTLE,

OR YOU ALWAYS THIS QUIET?

YOU'VE HAD A FEW DRINKS.

I'VE MADE MANY BAD CHOICES IN OUR MARRIAGE.

YOU KNOW, BEING PHYSICALLY UNFAITHFUL,

SEXTING, CYBER CHEATING.

YOU KNOW.

THERE WE GO-- SIT BY MOMMY.

OKAY.

SO, GO AHEAD-- BUST IT, MAMA.

MAMA WANTS TO TELL YOU SOMETHING.

IT'S VERY IMPORTANT.

GUESS WHAT?

DOC AND I ARE NOT GETTING MARRIED.

WHAT?

MOM-MOM!

MAN, I FEEL LIKE SMACKIN' YOU.

WHAT!

THAT'S NOT APPROPRIATE TO SAY TO YOUR GRANDMA.

I'M KIDDING!

MOM-MOM, DOC IS A GOOD MAN!

AND I WANTED YOU TO HAVE A GOOD MAN,

BUT YOU DON'T WANT A GOOD MAN...

FINE.

HA-HA!

IS IT THAT YOU DON'T WANT MY MOM TO LIVE ALONE?

NO...

WELL, WHAT IS SHE GONNA DO, DO YOU THINK?

DO YOU HAVE ANY ADVICE FOR HER?

EITHER GONNA MARRY DOC OR A RICH GUY.

AND THAT'S WHY THAT'S MY NEPHEW.

OKAY, D-- GO PLAY VIDEO GAMES.

ALL

ALL RIGHT,

ALL RIGHT, GUYS,

ALL RIGHT, GUYS, ARE

ALL RIGHT, GUYS, ARE YOU

ALL RIGHT, GUYS, ARE YOU READY

ALL RIGHT, GUYS, ARE YOU READY TO

ALL RIGHT, GUYS, ARE YOU READY TO HAVE

ALL RIGHT, GUYS, ARE YOU READY TO HAVE FUN?

YEAH!

YOU READY TO HAVE AN ORGY?

WHOO!

I WAS JUST MAKIN' SURE YOU WERE LISTENING!

SO I'M PERFORMING FOR SUNDANCE

AND IT'S THE PEOPLE BEHIND THE SCENES

THAT DO THE MOVIES AND THE TV'S AND THE--

EVERYTHING ELSE YOU CAN THINK ABOUT IN ENTERTAINMENT.

THEY'RE THE HARDEST CROWDS EVER TO ENTERTAIN!

BUT I'M GONNA MAKE THEM HAPPY!

IT'S-IT'S JUST GREAT BEING OUT DOING WHAT I DO.

WHICH IS PERFORMING.

I THINK MOMMY AND TONI SHOULD SWITCH SEATS.

I'M GONNA-- I'M GONNA SIT DOWN THERE ON THE END.

SO THE WEDDING'S SUPPOSED TO BE THIS WEEKEND

AND WE DECIDED-- WE MAY AS WELL GET THE FAMILY TOGETHER ANYWAYS

SINCE IT WAS TOO LATE TO CANCEL OUR TRAVEL PLANS.

WE'RE ALL TAKIN' MOMMY OUT TO DINNER

WITH UNCLE LEON AND HIS WIFE.

- HEY! - HEY!

I'M NOT PLEASED THAT GABE SHOWED UP FOR DINNER.

THIS IS GONNA BE THE FIRST NIGHT THAT HE'S BEEN AROUND

MOST OF THE FAMILY SINCE HIS ONLINE INCIDENT

AND I JUST HOPE GABE DOESN'T SAY SOMETHIN' STUPID!

AND MAKE THINGS AWKWARD FOR ME LIKE HE USUALLY DOES.

EXCUSE ME.

I WOULD LIKE THE STRONGEST MARTINI

THAT YOU HAVE ON THE MENU.

WHY YOU LOOK SAD, TRINA?

WHY YOU LOOK SAD AND SOMBER?

WANT ME AND TRACI TO SWITCH.

GABE, WHAT YOU DID NOW?

I DON'T KNOW HOW TO DESCRIBE

HOW MUCH GABE'S ACTIONS HURT TRINA.

EVEN THE WHOLE FAMILIES AFFECTED BY IT.

SHE'S MY SISTER-- WHEN SHE HURTS, WE HURT.

I HAVE NOTHING NICE TO SAY,

SO I'M NOT GONNA SAY ANYTHING AT ALL.

YOU KNOW WHAT, I DID THINK-- I DID THINK

ALL THE BROTHER-IN-LAWS WERE GONNA BE HERE

'CAUSE I WANTED TO SAY SOMETHIN' AFTER DINNER.

SAY SOMETHING AFTER DINNER?

I WANNA SAY SOMETHING TO THE WHOLE FAMILY.

I DIDN'T WANT IT TO JUST BE THE GIRLS.

I WANT IT TO BE--

WELL, STAND UP AND TAKE YOUR--

NO, I'LL WAIT UNTIL AFTER DINNER.

TILL AFTER I EAT.

WELL, THEN, WHY'D YOU SAY IT NOW INSTEAD OF--

- NO-NO! - JUST GO AHEAD AND SAY IT.

NO, I HAVE SO MUCH TO SAY

THAT I ACTUALLY BROUGHT SOME NOTE CARDS

'CAUSE I WANNA MAKE SURE THAT WHAT I HAD TO SAY

WAS EVERYTHING, SO...

READ ON.

GABE... THE CUE CARDS?

REALLY?

PUT THEM CARDS DOWN AND BE SERIOUS ABOUT IT.

I REALLY WANTED TO TAKE SOME TIME TO SHARE WITH EVERYBODY,

UH, ABOUT SOME RECENT CHOICES THAT I'VE MADE THAT...

ACTUALLY HURT THE FAMILY A LOT AND HURT TRINA VERY DEEPLY.

AT DINNER, GABE DECIDES THAT HE WANTS TO STAND UP

AND MAKE AN ANNOUNCEMENT TO THE FAMILY

THAT HE WISHES TO APOLOGIZE.

I PERSONALLY WISH HE WOULD HAVE DONE IT

ON A MORE PERSONAL LEVEL.

WORDS CAN'T EXPRESS HOW MUCH SORROW,

UM, I FEEL FOR WHAT I'VE DONE.

AS MUCH AS I HATE APOLOGIZING,

ME AND MY THERAPIST HAVE TALKED THIS OVER

AND WE BOTH AGREE

THAT IT'S PROBABLY FOR THE BEST OF MYSELF

TO SIT DOWN WITH THE FAMILY AND JUST...

HA-- AND JUST APOLOGIZE TO THEM.

I REALIZE THAT THE CHOICES THAT I MADE,

UM, INVOLVED, UH, YOU KNOW, SEXUAL INTERNET STUFF

AS Y'ALL ARE AWARE.

YOU KNOW WHAT I THINK?

I THINK HE GOT TOO MUCH R&R.

YOU KNOW WHAT THAT IS?

RATCHET AND RIDICULOUSNESS.

CAN I HAVE ANOTHER ONE OF THESE?

- YEAH. - Y'ALL STOP...

STOP INTERRUPTING.

WHY IS GABE STANDING UP APOLOGIZING TO EVERYBODY

ABOUT HIS LITTLE INTERNET WHORE-ISM?

TRINA, I'VE MADE MANY BAD CHOICES IN OUR MARRIAGE.

YOU KNOW, BEING PHYSICALLY UNFAITHFUL, SEXTING,

CYBER-TEXTING OR CYBER-CHEATING, YOU KNOW.

UM, I KNOW IT'S ALSO HURT THE FAMILY AS WELL.

I DO THINK GABE'S APOLOGY WAS SINCERE.

I THINK HE MEANT IT WITH EVERYTHING INSIDE OF HIM.

I ALSO THINK HE REGRETTED GETTING CAUGHT.

I'M SORRY, DID I SAY THAT OUT LOUD?

I DO WANT YOU TO KNOW, TRINA, AND THE FAMILY

THAT I MADE A CONSCIOUS DECISION

TO CHANGE THE WAY I'VE BEEN LIVIN'

AND I'VE DECIDED TO, UH, SEEK OUT COUNSELIN'

AND, UH, HE REFERRED ME TO A SEXUAL ADDICTION THERAPY

AND, UH, I THINK IT WOULD REALLY--

IT'LL HELP ME OUT.

I NEVER KNEW I ACTUALLY HAD A PROBLEM.

I JUST THOUGHT, THIS IS, THIS IS WHAT EVERY GUY DOES,

YOU KNOW-- EVERY GUY DOES THIS.

YOU KNOW, EVERY GUY'S THINKIN' ABOUT WOMEN, 24/7.

AND, IN ALL ACTUALITY, IT'S NOT.

IT'S NOT COMMON.

UH, ONCE AGAIN,

I'M DEEPLY SADDENED FOR THE CHOICES THAT I'VE MADE

AND THE DISRESPECT THAT I'VE CAUSED THE FAMILY.

I DON'T LIKE TO SEE MY SISTERS DOWN

AND CRYING AND UPSET AND STUFF, SO IT'S...

IT'S A MESS AND THAT'S WHY I WANT HER TO MOVE ON

BECAUSE I DON'T LIKE TO SEE HER SAD.

- ARE YOU OKAY, TRIN? - YOU OKAY?

- I'M ACTUALLY NOT FINISHED. - OKAY.

I'M JUST MAN ENOUGH TO ADMIT THAT "HEY,

"I HAVE PROBLEMS AND I HAVE ISSUES."

HOW ARE YOU, TRINA?

DO YOU FEEL LIKE A BURDENS LIFTED OFF?

NO.

I STILL SEE IT AS ANOTHER HUMILIATING EXPERIENCE

THAT YOU PUT ME THROUGH, YET AGAIN.

UH, ONCE AGAIN,

I'M DEEPLY SADDENED FOR THE CHOICES THAT I'VE MADE

AND THE DISRESPECT THAT I'VE CAUSED THE FAMILY.

WE WERE ALL OUT FOR A NICE FAMILY DINNER,

WHEN GABE'S ASS DECIDED HE HAD TO GIVE THIS RIDICULOUS

SCRIPTED APOLOGY TO EVERYONE AND HUMILIATE TRINA

EVEN FURTHER.

I FELT SO BAD FOR HER AND NO MATTER HOW UPSET SHE GOT,

HE JUST WOULD NOT STOP!

- I'M ACTUALLY NOT FINISHED. - OKAY.

CAN I FINISH?

REALLY?

HMMM... GABE.

I'M NOT PERFECT.

EVERYBODY HAS THEIR FLAWS.

I'M JUST MAN ENOUGH TO ADMIT THAT "HEY,

"I HAVE PROBLEMS AND I HAVE ISSUES."

EVERYBODY HAS ISSUES.

YOU KNOW, I NEVER IN MY LIFE HAD SOMEBODY STAND UP

AND GIVE AN APOLOGY ON CUE CARDS.

I MEAN...

IS THAT WHAT YOU REALLY FELT OR IS THAT SPEECH

THAT YOU CAME UP WITH-- I DON'T KNOW.

BUT TRINA, I DO WANT YOU TO KNOW

AND I HOPE I CAN FINISH, THAT I DO LOVE YOU.

AND I, AND I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT FROM THIS DAY FORWARD,

I'M GONNA WORK HARD TO RESOLVE A SENSE OF HONOR,

SENSE OF RESPECT AND A SENSE OF TRUST

IN MY RELATIONSHIP WITH YOU.

WE APPRECIATE YOUR COURAGE, GABE.

YES.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY ABOUT GABE.

LIKE, WHEN SOMEBODY'S SORRY, THEY USUALLY DON'T DO THINGS

AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN.

IT-IT MATTERS AND I DO THANK YOU, YOU KNOW,

FOR HUMBLING YOURSELF LIKE THAT TO--

YOU KNOW, TO APOLOGIZE TO THIS FAMILY.

- YEAH. - THANK YOU.

I DO APPRECIATE GABE'S EFFORT BUT WHATEVER HAPPENED,

HAVE TO BE BETWEEN THE TWO OF THEM.

HOW ARE YOU, TRIN?

YOU OKAY?

DO YOU FEEL LIKE A BURDENS LIFTED OFF?

- NO. - YOU DON'T?

I APPRECIATE YOU APOLOGIZIN' TO THE FAMILY

BECAUSE THE THINGS THAT YOU HAVE DONE

DIDN'T JUST EFFECT YOU AND I.

BECAUSE YOU TALKED ABOUT EVERYBODY IN THE FAMILY

AND I THOUGHT THAT WAS VERY DISRESPECTFUL.

YOU DIVULGED THINGS ABOUT THE FAMILY

THAT NOT ONLY WASN'T TRUE,

I THINK IT WAS EVEN MORE HUMILIATING

THAT YOU WOULD TALK ABOUT US LIKE YOU DIDN'T KNOW US.

YEAH, I FEEL LIKE I'M SORRY TO ALL THE FAMILY MEMBERS

FOR HURTIN' THEM OR DISCUSSIN' YOU KNOW,

FAMILY SECRETS THAT I SHOULDN'T HAVE DISCUSSED

WITH SOME RANDOM STRANGER THAT I DIDN'T KNOW.

I APPRECIATE YOU WANTING TO APOLOGIZE,

BUT I STILL SEE IT AS ANOTHER HUMILIATING EXPERIENCE

THAT YOU PUT ME THROUGH, YET AGAIN...

AND I KEEP RELIVING IT.

I THINK GABE HAD MOMENTS OF SINCERITY,

BUT I BELIEVE THAT IF YOU'RE TRULY SORRY

ABOUT SOMETHING, OR IF YOU'RE TRULY HEARTFELT

ABOUT SOMETHING, IT DOESN'T REQUIRE CUE CARDS.

THANK YOU, GABE, FOR YOUR COURAGE AND YOUR SPEECH.

I JUST WANT EVERYBODY JUST TO RECOGNIZE

WE DO HAVE A GREAT FAMILY

AND YOU KNOW, ALTHOUGH, YOU MAY NOT BE FORGIVEN

JUST RIGHT NOW AT 9:07,

DON'T MEAN THAT TOMORROW NIGHT AT 9:07,

I'M GONNA FEEL THE SAME WAY.

I DO BELIEVE THAT I MIGHT BUT MAYBE NOT!

AND THAT'S THE GOOD THING ABOUT FAMILY.

I DON'T WANT TO SEE TRINA PASSED OUT CRYIN' ON THE FLOOR

NO MORE-- WE ALREADY KNOW WHAT HE DO.

IT'S EITHER YOU'RE GONNA STAY WITH HIM

AND KEEP PASSIN' OUT CRYIN' AND I'M GONNA STEP OVER YOU

OR YOU MOVE ON AND GET ON WITH YOUR LIFE AND THAT'S IT.

I FEEL LIKE WE'RE AT A TYLER PERRY MOVIE.

'CAUSE MY NERVES IS SHOT TO SHINGLES!

WHAT YOU TALKIN' ABOUT, WILLIS?

- I'LL GET THE DOOR. - THANK YOU SO MUCH.

AFTER TALKIN' WITH DOCTOR SHERRY,

I REALIZE THAT I DON'T WANT TO BE IN ANY RELATIONSHIP

WITH ANYONE!

I LIKE YOUR NEW OUTFIT.

DID YOU WEAR BLUE BECAUSE I WAS WEARIN' BLUE?

I WAS HOPIN'.

YOU KNOW, I FELT THAT YOU MIGHT BE WEARIN' BLUE.

- NO, YOU DIDN'T. - YES, I DID!

- THAT'S A COINCIDENCE. - NO, IT'S NOT.

THERE ARE NO COINCIDENCES.

OKAY-- WHOO!

I REALLY HATE BREAKING HIS HEART

BECAUSE HE IS A WONDERFUL MAN

BUT I HAVE TO DO WHAT'S RIGHT FOR ME.

IT'S VERY DIFFICULT TO BELIEVE THAT EVERYTHING

WAS MOVING FORWARD AND NOW WE'RE GOING TO PULL BACK.

I THINK YOU NEED TO SEE OTHER PEOPLE.

WELL, HOW ARE YOU GONNA SUGGEST THAT I SEE OTHER PEOPLE?

I THINK IT WOULD BE GOOD FOR YOU,

I THINK IT WOULD BE GOOD FOR ME.

I FELT THAT WE WERE BEGINNING A NEW JOURNEY.

A NEW JOURNEY TOGETHER

AND NOW IT'S BEING SUGGESTED THAT I MOVE ON

AND START SEEING OTHER PEOPLE.

THAT'S-THAT'S A LITTLE QUICK.

I'M SAYING ALL OF THIS BECAUSE I THINK THAT, UM,

IF YOU HAPPEN TO SEE SOMEONE

THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO GO OUT WITH,

I'M SAYIN' DO IT.

WELL, WHY IS IT THAT I FEEL THAT THIS CONVERSATION

IS MORE ABOUT YOU THAN ME?

WELL, YEAH-YEAH, I'M GONNA DO IT.

OF COURSE, OF COURSE, I WILL.

WE-WE CAN STILL SEE ONE ANOTHER AS FRIENDS.

- WE'RE FRIENDS NOW. - DOC, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN.

SEE, I ACCEPT WHAT YOU'RE SAYING

BUT I JUST DON'T WANT TO LOOSE YOU.

SO IF IT'S AS FRIENDS TODAY...

IT HAS TO BE AS FRIENDS.

BUT DO I KNOW THAT I WANT YOU IN MY LIFE?

ABSOLUTELY.

I APPRECIATE THAT.

BUT RIGHT NOW,

I REALLY DON'T WANT TO BE IN ANYBODY'S LIFE.

MMM-HMM.

I JUST WANT TO BE IN MY LIFE.

GOOD!

'CAUSE THEN, I DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT ANYBODY ELSE

COMIN' IN.

I REALLY DON'T WANNA HURT HIM

BUT HE DOESN'T SEEM TO GET THE MESSAGE.

I'M GONNA HAVE TO KEEP TELLING HIM AND TELLING HIM

UNTIL HE GET THE MESSAGE

BECAUSE I NEED TO BE BY MYSELF.
