[dramatic music]

- So, today, I give
you a sneak peak

where my nuptials will
take place [squeals].

Oh my goodness.

For those who've been following my wedding story,

you know I met my man, Malcolm Wright, last year

and he wooed me with wine, trips and this rock!

[sighs] I'm so lucky.

I always wanted a
guy like Malcolm.

I wish my Dad would have
been here to meet him.

I know he would loved Malcolm

because Malcolm
is a good provider

and that was
important to my Dad.

As a matter of fact,

my Dad used to
work security here

and he always talked about how beautiful the weddings were.

[sighs] I hate my Daddy can't walk me down the aisle,

but I know he'll be
watching me from Heaven.

OK, are you guys
ready to do this?

Let's do this.

Isn't it beautiful in here?!

#8daysleft, #MrandMrs,
#LoveMeSomeHim,
#HappilyEverAfter.

- Ms. Logan, welcome back!

We're getting close to the date.

- Yes, I know, eight
days to be exact.

- Have all 200 guests confirmed?

- Absolutely.

Malcolm's family owns
the most prestigious

black law firm in DC.

I have people that
I don't even know

DMing me to attend!

- I bet!

- My final payment.

- Congratulations!

You will be saying, "I
do," in one of the most

beautiful venues in the city.

[squealing]

[laughing]
- It's happening!

[light music]
[shattering]

- Tia, how are you this morning?

- I'm wonderful, Bruce.

It is a beautiful Fridaymorning and love is in the air.

- There's not much love out there on inbound 295.

Traffic is really slow because everybody's merging

into one lane because of all the work that's going on.

- Hmm, if you're heading
in that direction,

allow for additional driving time for your morning commute.

Here's Michelle for more traffic details [laughs].

Too many times, hey Tracy!

- Good morning!

TJ set up a morning meeting.

- Oh girl, you look good!

- [Tracy] So do you!

- [Group] Surprise!

- Oh my goodness.

- To the bride to be, this is just a little something

from all of us at WBX.

Congratulations, girl!

- Awe, ya know what,truthfully, I have you to thank!

Had you not let me do that interview with Malcolm,

I might've ended up a
miserable, lonely soul.

Shelby, join the party!

- Oh, how sweet.

Too bad, I actually
have work to do.

- Well, from all of us, we still say congratulations

and we just hope and pray you have a beautiful union.

Congratulations again, girl.

- And girl, thanks for
giving us all hope.

[laughing]

- Oh, see that?

Mm, excuse me ladies.

My man is calling [laughs].

Hey babe!

- Babe, I need you.

- Awe, I need you too.

- No, no, I need
you here for brunch.

- Right now?

- I'm meeting with Fred
Strota and his wife.

I just need you here
to entertain her

while I close this deal.

It could be a big client for us.

- Well babe, I'm kind of in the middle of this party.

- Babe, I know, I don't
wanna pull you away, OK,

but he owns over 50 stores and airports across the country.

He's old school.

They've been
married for 40 years

and his wife, Sarina, is a fan of yours, so please,

I know if you're here,
this deal is done.

- Well, I am off air
and it is Friday.

I guess I can come.

- You are my lifesaver.

I love you.

- I love you too.

- I'll text you the address.

- Your fiance is
really determined.

I've never seen anyone go after my husband's business

with such tenacity.

- Yes, he's very persistent.

- Well, when I see something I want, I go after it, ma'am.

- I imagine that's
how he snagged you.

- Yes ma'am, it is.

- You two remind me of us.

- Ah, if we could
only be so lucky.

- Can I get you
something to drink?

- Yes, I'd like to have
a glass of Pinot Grigio.

- Oh, you need to
try their cabernet.

- I don't really want red, babe.

- You'll love it.

Bring her a glass of
the Opus One Cabernet.

Trust me.

So, Mr. Strota, I know that you're close to acquiring

50 fast food chains and we've done seven similar deals

in the last four years.

Four more than any other
firm you're considering.

- You have all the right things to say, don't you?

- Especially when it comes to securing what I deserve.

Bottom line, we're the
best team for the job.

- You know, this was supposed to be an informal brunch,

which is why I brought Sarina along to begin with.

- Don't believe that.

He can't make any
decisions without me.

[laughing]

- She is right about that.

But I can say that,
I am very impressed.

I will be speaking
with my partner

about having Wright,
Moore, and Wright

handling our legal
affairs going forward.

- Sounds good.

Well?

I told you.

Perfection.

- Jillian look, TJ
threw me a bridal shower

at the office, look!

- Oh, so kind.
- Look, look, look!

It's so nice.
- Wait, wait.

What is this face, Tia?

- Shelby happened.

- [laughs] I'm gon' have
to make a meme of this.

This is the face you make when a guy tell you,

"I got that good
Polish sausage,"

but he show up with
a vienna sausage.

[laughing]

- [Both] The disappointment.

- Excuse me, can you tell me where I could find--

- Oh I'm sorry, I
don't work here.

I don't work here.

- Okay.

- Why the heck, why they keep thinkin' I work here?

Do I look like a
librarian or something?

- Well, you are shuffling aroundyour client's books again.

So disruptive!

- I am a publicist.

Prominent bookshelf
space is everything.

You know that.

- When are you going to start your own publishing company?

- Uh, whenever you
have a bestseller.

I mean, how great would
it be to have your book

splashed on every bookshelf,

The Joy Of Having It All
by my girl, Tia Logan.

- I can't wait!

- Uh, neither can the publisher.

So, what's taking you so long with the next draft?

- Between planning the wedding

and Malcolm's social
calendar, I'm busy!

- Oh, you're stepping into your role as a Steffard.

I mean, trophy wife.

- My man sees me as his equal.

- Sure, he does.

So what's up with the wedding?

- Well, I have my
dress fitting tomorrow

and I made my final payment on the venue yesterday,

so nothing.

Don't start, Jillian.
- What?!

- Don't!

- I didn't say nothin'!

- Yes, I, don't start Jillian.

Non-verbal, stop it.

I already told you, Malcolm is buying us a vacation property

and paying for the honeymoon.

I wanna contribute.

Who wants to be one of those women who has to depend

on their man for everything?

- Not everything, just this expensive ass wedding.

You shouldn't have to
be paying for nothing.

- Whatever Jillie, let's go.

- Yeah?
- Yeah.

- After I get this book.

- [Tia] Really?

- What?

You just said who wants
to be one of those women

who have to rely on
her man for everything.

I don't need him if I got these.

I know 'cause I'm a
strong black woman.

- Yeah, strong, real strong.

[smooth music]

Wow, this is nice
and unexpected.

- Just a little something special to say thank you.

I couldn't have pulled
off brunch without you.

- Awe babe, you
did all the work.

I just say there
and looked fabulous.

- Well you must've
did something right

'cause right after you left, she asked me for your email.

Said she wants to invite
you to speak at some

Essence Women's
Business Luncheon.

- Really?

- [laughs] Babe, how many times do I have to tell you?

We make a great team.

Mr. Stroto called this afternoon and they want us

to start negotiations.

- I am so proud of you, baby.

- For us.

[smooth music]

- Mmm, babe, these strawberries are delicious.

Thank you.

- You're welcome.

I hand dipped them
myself just for you.

Oh, there's one more thing.

I'll be right back.

[playful music]

- He didn't hand dip nothin'.

He bought--

[sighs]

- Close your eyes and
hold out your hands.

Open em.

- Oh.

- Something blue.

It was my grandmother's and now,

she wants you to have it.

- Oh baby, it's so beautiful.

Oh, I am the luckiest woman in the whole world.

- Yeah, I can't argue with that.

[upbeat music]

- Excuse me, do you
have any crackers?

The bride wouldn't let us eat before the fitting

and I'm starving!

- [giggles] The bride
can't be bloated!

- Oh, you look stunning!

The queen approves [laughs].

Listen, did Malcolm ever tell you where you're going

for the honeymoon?

- Nope.

- Child, I don't
know how you do it.

I got to know where
I'm going in advance.

I just can't be going no
anywhere with anybody.

- It's called trust,
control freak.

It's OK to let the man lead.

Sometimes, I like to follow.

- Excuse me, ma'am,
can you untighten that?

That shit is way too tight.

She's losing her mind, she's just saying anything.

[laughing]

Going no anywhere.

Tia, you look so beautiful. [suspenseful music]

- What?

Tia!

[intense music]

What Tia?

What Tia?!

- Malcolm!

What are you doin' with her?

- Tia, wait, wait, wait, baby.

- What are you doin' with her?

[women yelling]

- OK!
- She's your ex!

- Baby, calm down.

Stop recording!

- I trusted you!

The wedding is off!

- What do you mean?

- Malcolm, you need
to handle all this.

- Look, this--

- Bitch, what?

Move, Malcolm.

- Wait, Tia baby, chill, chill.

[emoticons popping]

- Cocky, no one
fault son of a bitch!

How could he do this to me?

- Well, I hate to
tell ya baby but,

a man who lies about
dipping his strawberries

will lie about where
he's dipping his banana

with his dumb ass.

[sobbing]

Oh, you might wanna see this.

- What, my bleak future?

- Uh, something like that.

- God.

[sighs]

[yelling on the phone]

Oh my God.

It's everywhere. - In today's evening news--

- YouTube, the Gossip Room?

Today's popular stories?!

- And--

- We're seeing her like we've never seen her before.

- This is not what
you think it is!

- The wedding is off!

The wedding is off!

- Baby wait.
- Malcolm, you need to

handle all this.
- Shut up.

Bitch, what?!

- Can you say #AngryBlackWoman?

[somber music]

- Oh my God.

- We need to go
over these policies

just to make sure that our client isn't at fault.

Malcolm.

Malcolm!

Policies, client.

- I know, I know.

I'm sorry you had to come over here tonight, Rayna.

I can't go back into
the office tomorrow.

I mean, my phone is
already blowin' up.

- There have been some
text messages about you.

- What are they saying?

Nevermind.

- Why do men propose if
they're not even ready?

- Wait, wait, wait.

Didn't you say you
were just in the office

talkin' 'bout how you were breakin' up with David

'cause he hadn't proposed yet?

- That's different.

- No, no, no, no, exactly.

Damned if you do,
damned if you don't.

Let's just get back to work.

- I was grabbing the mail earlier like you asked

and I found this in the uh--

[soft music]

[sobbing]

- How many of those
have you eaten?

Really, Tia?

- Everyone's laughing at me.

- Look, pull yourself
together, friend!

You know, I'm startin'
to worry about you.

You lookin' all sloppy!

You gotta go back
to work glowin'.

I don't want you
lookin' like this!

- Oh no, no, no, no, no, no.

I have to call out,
I can't go in there.

- Why not?!

You dumped him and then
you whooped his ass

with a bouquet of calla lilies.

In this case scenario,
you the badass.

- If anything, they laughing at him, not you!

- Are you sure?

- You damn right I'm sure.

Now get your cake
pop, fire startin' ass

off my couch, take a shower, and then march back

to work tomorrow like
gettin' rid of Malcolm

was the best thing that
ever happened to you.

- Yeah.

Yeah, you right.

- Damn right, I'm right.

Yeah, I'm right.

- Thank you, thank you.

- Oh, yeah, yeah,
get it together!

You got this, girl!

You good!

You beautiful!

This shit ain't gonna end well.

[women yelling]

- I'm going to strangle hislying ass and kick him in the--

Can everyone clear
the room please?

[light music]

We need to talk.

- WBX employees shall
not commit any act

or do anything which might tend to bring the employee

into public disrepute,
contempt, scandal,

or ridicule, or which might tend to reflect unfavorably

on the network.

Any sponsor of
the program or any

sub-sponsors advertising agency.

- So can they suspend me?

- I'm no lawyer,
but I would say yes.

[sighs]

- I gave up my place
when I got engaged.

Now because of Malcolm,
I'm losing my home,

my dignity and my job.

- You can get another job.

You can get another apartment.

Dignity, child, it's overrated.

Good thing you left Malcolm before the wedding!

- Just...

I don't know, I just thought everything was perfect!

I feel so stupid!

I feel--
- Don't, don't!

You're good!

It's not as bad as it seem!

Look, the internet will
soon forget about you.

Your heart will heal
soon, I promise!

I'll start canceling some of the wedding stuff.

- The venue.

[mysterious music]

- You will absolutely
love this venue.

Take a look at our
pamphlet and if you have

any questions, let me know.

My name is Katie.

- Thank you.

- Thank you!

Ms. Logan, what brings you by?

- The wedding is off.

- Oh, let's just say postponed.

We don't like the word off.

What happened?

This is you?

[women screaming]
I am so sorry.

You OK?

- I will be once
I get my refund.

- Man, you really
let him have it.

- Excuse me, Katie.

Katie, dear!

I need my refund.

- Oh, we don't like
the word refund.

- Well then, what
word would you like?

I need my money?

Please.

- OK, don't go all
angry black woman,

angry African Amer--

angry woman of col--

Don't be upset.

Let's just push
the date back a bit

just in case things change.

But then your date will have to be within the next

12 months or your payment in full will be forfeited.

- Are you saying I
can't get my money back?

- Cancellations and refundsmust be made 30 days in advance.

It's in your contract.

I am sorry.

- That's $50,000, Katie.

Gone.

- We don't like the word gone.

Let's just say it was an expensive lesson in love.

Yeah!

- [sighs] Oh shit.

God.

[somber music]

What's up, world?

I know I haven't done a follow up video to my wedding story

since well, you know.

My last post was four days ago right here in this

very spot and I was full of joy, walking on clouds.

Now today, I stand
in the same spot

but now the clouds are gone and so is my refund.

Same spot, different place.

#IsntItIronic,
#LoveDontLiveHere,

#WheresMyRefund,

#AngrilyEverAfter.

Damn that was a bad,
that was a bad idea.

[emoticons popping]

[sighs]

[blinging]

Hmm.

So, guess what
happened today, guys.

My book got shelved
indefinitely.

Their reason, my book
title no longer works.

I mean, think about it.

How can I talk about the
joys of having it all

when I have nothing.

Hey!

Oh my gosh, there are way more of you following me

than when I was talking about my wedding stories.

Shut it, I heard that.

No, PreacherMan32, I
do not need prayer.

No, you can not
lay hand, can you--

nobody was talkin' to you.

Do you always open
your mouth this wide?

Is it me or does
misery love company?

I said shut it!

- [Mother] Have you gone
to counseling together?

It's been three weeks.

Tia, how many times have
I told you, you do not

throw the baby out
with the bath water.

Tia, how come I don't
see your face anymore?

Where are you?

- I'm here, I'm here
Mom, I'm here, I'm here.

- There you go, OK.
- I'm here.

- I'm talking to you.

Now, I am very sorry.

P.S. I talked to him
and I believe him.

He apologized.

Now your Dad, he
worked two jobs Tia,

for you to have a
really good life

and he only wanted you to be able to have some stability

and have a good man
take care of you

and Malcolm is that.

- Mom, I do not need a
man to take care of me.

- Yes, you do.

- Mom, I will get another job.

Mom, no!

Dad taught me that too, ya know?

I don't need a man
to take care of me.

- You're getting older.

How are you gonna have kids?

What man is gonna want you if you keep getting older?

Malcolm is there,
he's ready for you.

So be with him.

[sighs] Are you
tryin' to kill me?

- Mom, calm down.

Is it past your zanny time?

- I don't know, I
might need a zanny.

You know what, I do.

I'm gonna come over there.

- No, no, no, no!

No, no, no, [laughs],
I love you Mom.

I gotta call you back.

I thought I told you to
throw that stuff away!

- Girl, what is this, silk chiffon, this feels so good

and no ya didn't.

You said you didn't want it.

It's a difference.

Now, if Malcolm is foolish enough to buy it,

I'm smart enough to wear it.

And I heard what your Mama said.

- I just need to find
another really good job,

something she can celebrate so she can tell her friends

about it and she'll
get off my back.

Problem is, no one will hire me.

- You just need to apply forjobs that don't have the titles

news anchor or reporter in it.

- But that's what I do, Jillie.

- Baby, you have a whole
Masters in Journalism.

You could do whatever you want!

[doorbell ringing]

Mm, that's probably a matching bracelet for my,

our earrings [laughs].

Uh, hello.

You're not the delivery boy.

- No, uh, I'm Van Joyner.

Is Tia Logan in?

We went to grad school togetherand I wanna talk to her

about an opportunity.

- Oh come in, come on in.

Tia, it's a man here.

- There she is, look at that.

In the flesh, huh?

How you doin' darlin'?

- Oh my gosh!

Hey!
- It's been a long time.

- I haven't seen you
since Northwestern!

Sit down, what are you--
- Yeah, yeah.

- What are you doin' here?

- Well, it's funny that you ask.

I actually work
in television now.

- Really?

- Yeah.

My colleague mentioned
that you applied for

a news reporter job
with our sister station.

Your address is on your resume.

- Oh.

- I want you to come
on as one of the hosts

for The Gossip Room.

- [Jillian] Yes, yes, say yes!

[laughing]

- I mean, I hope you were excited as your friend is.

Have you see the show?

- Yeah, I think
like once or twice.

It's two kids
sittin' around a desk

just talking.
- Yeah, they're adults,

not kids, yeah.

- Yeah well, they act like kids.

- Actually, it's a daily half hour news entertainment

program averaging 3.2
million viewers weekly.

The show is ranked number four in adults 18 through 34.

We rank number two in
women 18 through 34.

We're syndicated in New
York, Phoenix, Austin,

and seven other cities.

- Well, what's your affiliation?

- I'm the Executive Producer.

- What?!

Oh my God, Van?!

I'm impressed!

- Hey, I'm the one
that's impressed.

I've been following your career.

Always knew you'd do
some great things.

- Van Joyner, this is
a really nice surprise.

- Yeah, same here.

[upbeat music]

[cheery upbeat music]

Our goal here is not always to shock and entertain.

We also like to educate.

- Who are you educating
when you poke fun

at overweight celebrities and expose affairs?

- Look,

I don't always agree
with everything you do,

but my first goal is to keep the show on the air.

My second goal is to expand

into other shows on the air.

Let me show you to your office.

Right here.

Well, I'm gonna let
you get settled in.

I hope you're ready.

We're gonna go live
tomorrow morning.

- But I don't have any emails to give any advice on.

- A few ladies emailed in once the post went viral.

We'll use one of those.

Soon as the show airs,

it'll start pouring in.

[sighs]

- Thank you again
for this opportunity.

- Don't mention it.

I'm gonna have some
guys come in here

and straighten things
up for you, OK?

- OK.

- Let me know if
you need anything.

- [Tia] I will, thank you Van.

- Yeah, no problem.
[Tia giggles]

[sighs]

- Oh yo, slow down.

What's goin' on, how you been?

Bring it in.

- Hi, I'm Tia.

- OK cool, we know who you are.

We all know who you are.

You still angry?

- No, I'm fine, and you are?

- I'm Austin B.

- Oh yeah, you look familiar.

- Yeah, I'm the host.

Now, Brianna's the
co-host and sister,

you are the co-co-host.

- OK, do you have a
specialty or a segment?

- Yeah of course.

I do all the music, the beeps,

all the albums and
everything like that.

Ain't nobody smashing
this industry

unless I know about it first.

- OK, it was nice
to meet you Austin.

- Yeah of course but
hang on a second now.

Van got you doin' the
girl's advice, correct?

- Yes.

- Try not to make
us men look bad.

- It's not my intent.

- OK, but I'm just sayin', you sisters always got

something negative to
say about us brothers.

- It's only when you deserve it.

- Why don't you just report on one good brother a week,

just one, but it gives sisters hope and it lets em know

there's still brothers likewalking around every single day.

- OK Austin, I'm just getting my ideas together

but I promise you I'll
keep that in mind.

See ya later.

- Of course, all right, Tia?

See you on set!

[smooth music]

- Oh, hello, hello,
hello, hello.

- Damn, what took you so long?

- Errr, 'scuse me, hi.

I'm Brianna.

I didn't get to
meet you yesterday.

- Tia!

- All right come
on, get focused.

We're about to go
live, let's go.

- Can we get some
more light in here?

- [Director] In
five, four, three,

two--
- Your mama.

Yo, what's goin' on?

Welcome to The Gossip Room.

Now, a lot of crazy things took place yesterday.

A lot went down but
don't even trip.

You know we got you.

Before we get started, we have a new addition to

The Gossip Room, Ms. Tia Logan.

- Thank you, Austin.

Brianna, I'm so happy
to be here with you.

We're live, America!

[laughing]

- Yeah uh, you
might've recognized her

for the crazy viral video a couple weeks ago.

- Or you may have known her from the morning news.

Either way, she
hangin' with us now.

- She one of the
best in the business.

- Yeah!
[laughing]

[Tia extended laughing]

- Tia, let's not work those spec because I know

it's about to be lit, lit.

- All right Rihanna.

This segment of the show iscalled Ask The #AngryBlackWoman.

[airhorn blowing]

Oh.

[dance music]

- Hey, hey, get it, get it.

- Um...
[laughing]

[air horn blowing]
[dance music]

Uh OK um, today's
letter comes from Paula

and boy, it's a doozy.

Paula and her man ended things and now, she's suing him

for back pay of labor.

- Back pay for sex?

- No, for cooking and cleaning.

- Hell yeah, that's
what I'm talkin' about.

- [chuckles] Well, my advice would be to really

think about this lawsuit, Paula.

What if he comes back and sues you for his labor?

Maybe he washed your
car, cut your grass.

This could go back and forth in court until you owe

thousands of dollars
in court fees.

I say cut your losses and give Darnell his dog back.

- She took his dog?

- Yes, a K-9 was apprehended but I assure you

that no animals were harmed.

I'm Tia Logan and
that's my time.

[dance music]
[laughing]

- Man, hell no!

- She's just warming up.

- No, it is called
Angry Black Woman.

Not stick up my ass woman.

Come on, man!

- And now you being
so angry, right?

I ain't yellin' in the hall.

Brother, it's all good.

She'll get into it.

She'll get into
it, I promise you.

- All right man.

[playful music]

- I need you, Austin.

You're my go to
brother, my A1 baby.

- I'm A1.

- Yeah, you the A1.

You know dat.

- Yeah!
- OK.

- Loosen up a bit.

Yeah you know, like
on set, we flow,

ya know like a rap side for Lennon, flow you know?

What is that, a boat neck?

Girl, you gotta let the cleavage, you gotta let the

girls show a little bit.

Let em loose, let em
hurt below [laughs].

- Can I talk to
you for a minute?

- Yeah, I'm gon'
talk to you tomorrow.

Remember what I said.

Let it flow, let it flow.

[laughing]
- Thank you.

- OK, y'all gettin' acquainted.

- Yeah, it was a
disaster, I know.

- Not quite a tsunami but a 2.1 on the Richter scale.

- Tomorrow, I'm
on it, I promise.

It's a new format for me.

- Just be yourself!

Let your natural charm and professionalism shine through!

You good.

- Got it, you right.

[dramatic music]

Malcolm, what are
you doing here?

- Came to take you
to lunch or dinner.

- I'm busy.

- Van Joyner.

- Malcolm Wright.

- How did you even
know I was here?

- I saw it online.

Very impressive presence.

- Oh thanks, thanks yeah.

I'm gonna give you
two a minute, yeah.

- Oh, tomorrow, expect
a whole new Tia.

- I ain't even worried
about it, aight?

Aight brother.

- You look incredible.

- I only agreed to go to dinner with you to get you

out of my office.

- I just wanted to have
a nice sit down dinner

so we could talk.

- I'm not falling
for your tricks.

You cheated, there's
nothing to talk about.

- Cheated is a
stretch, all right?

We kicked it, sure, but
I don't want Cammie.

You are my future.

I just, I got scared.

I thought that I could have my last little bit of fun

before I made my commitment.

- The ring was your commitment.

- I was wrong Tia, damn!

I'm sorry!

Do you know how much money I've been puttin' out

trying to apologize?

What more do you want from me?

- I just want you to stop!

I don't trust you, period.

And I know you didn't dip them damn strawberries.

- Really?

Tia!

- You just gon' have
your feet on the table

like you at home?

OK girl, you look like you bout to bring it today!

- Oh yeah girl, I'm ready.

- Yes, OK!

Your cute self.

- You ain't ready,
you ain't ready.

- All right man, let's go ahead and hop into this first

segment of the day,
Angry Black Woman.

Go ahead, Tia.

- All right yes, so today, I have a letter from Tahina.

She caught her boyfriend
going behind her back

trying to sabotage a potential job because he didn't

want her salary to
be higher than his.

She wants to know should she break up with him over this.

- That's a good one.

- Well I'll tell you what this angry black woman thinks.

He's insecure and if you think it's going to stop there,

you're wrong!

Sis, he's always going
to be competing with you

and this is never going
to work in a marriage.

So if you wanna be
his girlfriend forever
and allow him to

dictate your ceiling,
then yeah, stay!

But if you want a real relationship with someone who

wants you to be your best self, he gots to go!

That's what I say.

That's all I'm saying.

Shouldn't it be out?
- Come on, bad self!

- First of all,
her name is Kahina.

So her best self
is off the table.

[laughing]

- You know what, see there?

That's why you need to know your history, young man.

Let me school you
right quick, OK?

See, Al Kahina was a
powerful African warrior

who took command of a army so that the Arabs wouldn't be

invading the land.

To stop from losing,
she burned the land down

instead of seeing it taken over by non-African, what?!

- Aha, boom!

- You saw that knowledge hit him in the face like that?

[laughs] Real slick like?

- You didn't know that.

You didn't know that,
Brianna, sit back.

Shut up, this eh eh.

- You know what?

There are a lot of brothers out there who are too insecure

or too white washed to
handle a woman with a

strong African name.

Maybe our friend Austin
here prefers names like

Becky or Sissy.

[laughing]

[air horn blaring]

You know what it is.

You guys, leave me
a comment about that

and I'll get at you tomorrow.

Power to the people!
- Woo!

- Justin, Shannon!

Don't touch me.
[laughing]

- Yes, girl!

- Hey guys, it's your
angry black woman here.

Make sure you keep those emailscoming and tune in tomorrow.

We're going to be talking about jealous roommates.

#SingleBlackFemale.

- You up late.

- You goin' out with Rick?

- Butch.

- I don't know how you do it.

I can't date more than one man at a time without

getting caught up.

- That's 'cause you kiss.

In my world and in my rule book,you never, ever, ever kiss.

When I kiss, I'm ready to take it to the next level.

- You're still doing that?

- That is what keep
em coming back, OK?

Don't wait up, good night!

[laughing]
Maybe I'll ask Butch

if he got a little brother.

[phone clicking]

[dinging]

[sighs]

- What's up brothers?

Guess what.

You've got your first gig.

Austin and Brianna are often paid to host parties.

You've been asked to host MySister's Keeper rooftop brunch.

- Oh, that's great!

- You might wanna think about getting yourself posters

and negotiating the fees

'cause you bout to
be busy, all right?

- Awesome!

- Nice flowers.

[jazzy music]

- We got one hour.

Frisco is in town this weekend and he wants to see me.

- One hour, got it.

- Now if you went on
Tinder like I told you,

you would've had a date.

- Just hush and hold my arm!

Oh and if anyone asks,
you're my person.

- Isn't that your co-host?

- [Tia] Yep.

- Mm, he is a lot
cuter in person.

- What?

- Yes, look at him.

Look at him standing on
his little tippy toes.

You think he like older women?

- Jillie.

I thought higher of you.

- What?!

Look at his face, I
will sit all on that.

I'm just sayin'.

- Hello.

- Van, hi!

This is such a fancy party.

You know Jillie.

- Oh yes, hi.

- How are you?

- Good, good, thank you.

Ross Chow Media is our
primary stakeholder.

See there Ross Chow, the owner?

He loves a good party.

- Oh, she used to own the PR company that I work for.

Sienna is a powerhouse.

- Wait, I didn't know
you worked in PR.

- Yeah.

- She's my publicist.

- Oh, let me know if
you need my services.

- Hey, say no more darlin'.

- [Jillian] I got you.

- Knew I liked her,
I knew I liked her.

All right you ladies have fun.

I'm gonna go ahead and
mingle a little bit, OK?

All right, good seeing you.

- You too.

[sighs]

- I see you lookin' at him.

- What? No.

- Let me see your eyes.

You was lookin' at him.

Come on, let's go.

We can go get his number.

Talk to him.
- Don't do that, behave.

- [Jillian] Shut up.

- How y'all doin'?

[cheering]
Thank you, thank you,

thank you, thank you, thank you.

Tonight we are
celebrating five years.

It's been an amazing ride but

we've just scratched
the surface.

I wanna thank our producers, our executives,

and of course, our sponsors because without you,

we wouldn't even have a show.

[cheering]
[clapping]

Last but not least, my
three amazing hosts.

Austin Bean.

[cheering]

Brianna Williams!

[cheering]

and our latest
addition, Tia Logan.

[cheering]

Without you guys, we definitelywould not have a show.

Now, I must say, our newest segment has really taken off.

Our subscriber base has
reached one million.

Tia Logan, please say
something to the people.

- That's my best friend!

- [laughs] I just wanna
say I am so grateful

for this new journey and I'm so happy that I get a

open, honest platform to
talk about love issues

and raw emotions.

Thank you Van, thank you Gossip Room for trusting me.

I really look forward
to contributing to

the show's future success.

Thank you guys so much.

[cheering]
[clapping]

- Thank you baby.

You look beautiful, by the way.

On that note,
toast, cheers y'all!

[cheering]
[clapping]

[classical music]

- Tia.

- Corley!

- I thought I'd find you here.

- Wow!

- I'm sure it's good
to know that you're the

smartest flea in the
sand box [chuckles].

[upbeat hip hop music]

- You are not about
to do CC like that.

How dare you say Ciara
can't hold her own tour!

- First of all, I love CC

with her fine ass.

I'm just sayin' she can't run a tour by herself!

- OK, now ya trippin'!

Tell him, Tia.

- Yeah, I met Ciara
once at a party.

Sweet girl, tall too.

- [Director] Cut for commercial.

- Hey, you OK?

You seem like
you're a little off.

- Yeah, I'm fine.

- OK.

- Brianna, come here.

Where did you study journalism?

I'm just curious.

- Oh, I didn't.

I got this job right after I reached two million followers.

[laughs]
[mellow music]

- I like Van.

What should I do?

- I don't know.

You two go way back.

Date him.

- I mean, it could get
awkward if he doesn't

feel the same way.

Plus I'm pretty sure it's against my work policy,

so if I wanna keep my job, dating Van isn't an option.

- All right, fine.

Date him then.

- [screams] Oh, eww.

Yeah, I'm sorry
teddy, ya touched it.

Ugh, why do you have that in your guest bedroom?

- Ya never know when ya need a little hot dog in your bun.

[laughing]

Go on a dating app!

[groans]

You won't talk to Van and you better not talk to Malcolm.

- Oh my God, you
talk to Malcolm?

- It was only like twice.

- Give me your phone.

I'm signing you up
on a dating app.

- No, no, no, no, no.

- Yes, I don't
care what you say.

- Not a dating app.

- Well, use this then.

That's your best bet.

- [squeals] It's on me!

Hmm.
[playful music]

[sighs]

Hmm!

[laughing] - Trying to make you laugh.

- I think I want dessert, you?

- Now that you ask.

Meet my wife, Crystal.

We would love to
have you for dessert.

- Ah hell nah!

You that angry back chick that's messin' it up

for all the players over here?

I'm out, swipe left.

[laughing]
- You great.

- I cannot remember the last time I laughed so hard.

Thank you for
tonight, thank you.

- Oh no, thank you.

I had fun, thank you.

- Yeah, oh you know what, sincewe both like horror movies,

we should go see that new movie.

What's that movies, it's um,

put out the um,
is everything OK?

- Yeah, yeah, just tallying.

Your portion of the bill
comes out to $49.87.

I put the appetizer on
your bill since you ate

three-fourths of it,

but I'll happily put
one-fourth on mine.

[smooth music]

[phone ringing]

- Hi Malcolm.

- You picked up.

How are you?

- I'm fine, just
thinkin' about my Dad.

How are you?

- Good.

I wanna see you.

Tia.

- I don't know, Malcolm.

- Please just come
over tomorrow night.

How much pain are you
gonna put me through?

Please baby.

Hey.

Why didn't you use your key?

- It's in the box of your stuff that I set on fire.

- Oh yeah, I'm a big
fan of your hair cut

lookin' like a geisha.

- A what?

- I need a massage.

[laughing] - [Tia] What in the hell?

Jillian!

- Hey there, superstar!

- What are you doing here?

- Oh, Van wanted me to do some PR work for the show.

- So I'm just here you know, doing old promos with her.

- What is that?

- It's nothing, go ahead.

- It don't look like nothin'.

- Is that the ring--

you saw him?

- It's just a piece ofjewelry, Jillian, it's nothing.

- No, that's something!

- You saw Malcolm.

- It's just a piece of
jewelry, it's nothing.

- Really Tia?

We had this
conversation already.

I can't believe you!

- Get in my office.

- The whole conversation
and you just disregarded

everything y'all
talked, all right.

I don't gotta know.

- Really Tia?

I can't believe you
let that snake back in!

- [Tia] He's not back in.

- Really?

'Cause you got Malcolm written all over your body.

- Where?

- A1 sauce.

See, you gotta watch
your surroundings.

- You're right, what's up boss?

What's goin' on?

- Is Jillian still here?

- I was feeling
bad and I got weak.

- Yeah, she actually
goin' out on Tia

right now about a ring.

- Jillian, the dating
thing isn't working.

He called, so I went to see him.

- And?
- About a ring?

- Yeah, I mean, I guess she went to go talk to her ex.

She got a ring on her finger.

She might be engaged, I'm tryin' to figure it out

right now actually.

- Well have Jillian see me before she leaves, OK?

- Yeah, you know I
got anything for you.

- This is why I hired
you for The Gossip Room.

- I'm gon' go gossip.

- [Van] Yeah, go gossip.

- All right, boss.

- [Van] In your office.

- Yeah, in my office.

- What's important is that it's not happening again.

Never, ever.

This is the last time.

I hate sneaking
around during lunch.

- Well stop sneaking
and move back in.

[feet stomping]

- Mr. Grayson, I'm
so sorry I'm late.

My last meeting was good, bad.

It ran over, I'm here.

- All right [chuckles].

We had said some publishers are very excited

to work with you still.

So tell me your idea.

- OK, I wanna take the
stories of the women

who have been reaching out to me

and make a compilation
of real stories.

- And the stories
are compelling.

Some are even scandalous.

- And you have the
rights to these stories?

- I will get them.

I just wanted to
test your interest.

- I'll read a few, see if you got something there.

Eh, I will be in touch.

- Hey, that's a good start.

Real good start.

- Your lips.

- [laughs] All right world, how are you doing?

Today's letter is from Mia.

Mia has strong feelings
for a really good friend

but she's afraid that if shetells him how she really feels,

it might affect what they have.

- No, don't do that.

Let it happen naturally, do not put yourself out there.

Once you do that,
you can't go back!

And yo, once they
break up with you,

they gon' act like oh,
they had the upper hand

the whole entire time
and that's not the case.

Damn that.

- You good, bro?

You the angry black woman now?

- Oh no, I'm good!

I'm just sayin', you
know what I'm sayin'.

I'm just tryin' to help.

- [Brianna] OK [laughs].

- I saw be honest.

Test the waters.

Give him signals to let him know you're interested

and see how he responds.

If you get nothing, back up.

But make sure he's single.

Don't be that chick [laughs].

- I wanna check in with you.

I know it's been a
couple of months.

You still happy?

- Yeah, I think I'm adjusted.

- OK, you got a lot of fans.

- Oh, I have a lot of
enemies too, trust me.

This one lady asked me
for Malcolm's number

because she said I obviously don't know how to keep a man.

- Wait, so you two
aren't back together?

- Nope!

- Can I get anything
to drink for you two?

- Yes, I will have a Hudson neat

and the lady will have--

you not gon' drink?

- Oh, I thought you
were gonna order for me.

- I mean, I can make
a suggestion but,

you know your palette
better than I do.

- Well, in that case,
the lady will have

a glass of pinot grigio.

So, I don't want
this to get awkward

because I know
you're my boss but,

I feel like there's something happening between us.

- Tia.

- Shelby!

- Hi!

And uh, who might this be?

- This is my boss, Van Joyner.

This is Shelby,
my old co-worker.

- Yes, Ivander Joyner right?

- Yeah, that's me.

- Yes, I think we
interviewed you once

when you first launched
your gossip show.

- Yeah.
- Yeah!

You know, for a second, Ithought I interrupted something.

- Nope, nothing!

Nothing at all.

- Oh, you know, someone said you were working over there.

- You know, we should
have someone set it up

so Tia comes on
the morning show.

I mean, since coming on ourshow, our numbers have increased

and you know, she speaks
at events all over DC.

- Great idea!

I'll have Tracy set
up for next week!

- Hmm, great!

- Great!

You know, I am so glad
you didn't let that huge

embarrassing debacle
bring you down.

I mean, losing a man and your job in front of everyone,

whew, that is tough.

But, so glad to see ya
back on your two feet.

Tracy'll call ya next week?

- Great Shelby.

- It was so nice meeting you.

- Oh, wonderful.

[laughing]
Nice to meet you too.

- Thank you.

I'm gon' let you
guys keep lunchin'.

All right, come on honey.

- Take care, Shelby!

- What's up, superstar?

- Austin, what are
you doing here?

- Actually I wanna get
to that in a second,

but I have a question for you.

Uh, you and Jillian,
y'all close?

- Yeah, she's been my best friend since high school.

Why are you asking about her?

- No reason.

Van gon' be late, so here's some cards for support.

[sighs]

- What's this?

- Just some bullet points that I think you should mention.

- Oh, I already have my bullets.

- And here are a few more.

You haven't read
em, check it out.

- Boy, I'm not talkin' about your weekly countdown show!

It's not even on TV.

- It's a village.

I'm supposed to support you, you gotta support me back!

- No, Austin.

I already have enough
to think about.

- Tia, you wouldn't even be here if it wasn't for me.

Man, I'm--

- What?

- Look, when you was wilin' out in the streets,

I was gettin' a smoothie.

I bumped the footage to Van.

He thought it was funny,
so we broke the story.

It started to blow
up on social media,

he offers you a job,
instant ratings.

You got me to thank
for your success!

Remember that.

- [sighs] You ready to do this?

[mysterious music]

Our next guest at Wake Up DC is no stranger to us.

In fact, she used to
host this morning show.

Please welcome Tia Logan.

- And thank you for
having me, Shelby.

I'm happy to be here.

- [Shelby] Oh, it's
great to have you here.

I mean, ya look amazing.

- [Tia] Thank you.

- [Shelby] Looks like life has been treating you well.

- It has, it has.

I never thought I would
be on this side of

the morning show, but here I am.

- Yes, yes.

Ya know, so let's go back.

A few months ago, you
broke the internet

with a video that surfaced.

In fact, we have it.

[shouting]

- The wedding is off! - It's not what you think.

- The wedding is off!

- See Malcolm,

you need to handle all this. - Wait, baby wait.

- Bitch, what?!

- So Tia, we all
would like to know,

are you still that angry woman?

- No Shelby, actually, I'm not.

I look at that situation as a blessing in disguise.

Had that not happened, I
wouldn't have discovered

this beautiful career
which I love so much.

- And before we talk about that,

we love to do
where are they now?

So, we reached out to your ex

so we can get an update on his total annihilation.

Please, please, let's
give a warm welcome

to Malcolm Wright.

- What?

[ominous music] - [Shelby] Malcolm, welcome.

- Oh, thank you.

Thank you for having me.

- Oh, thank you for coming.

So, Malcolm, tell us,
how have you been?

- Oh well Shelby, if you had asked me that a few weeks ago,

I would've said terrible.

But, now that I have
my other half back,

things couldn't be better.

- Oh, how sweet!

So, are you telling us that you two are back together?

- No.
- Well actually,

Tia, I love you

and I wanna spend the rest of my life making you happy.

Will you please marry me?

- Well?

- [laughs] I don't
wanna do this here.

- Believe me when I say that I know that there is

no one I'd rather
spend my forever with.

We're gonna have a
great life together.

- Girl, are you gon' sit
here and let that man

pour his heart out in front of 3.5 million people?

- 3.5?

- Yes, it's gone up
since I've become host.

[playful music]

- Yes, yes I will
marry you Malcolm.

- That is beautiful!

Look, you have heard it here first on Wake Up DC.

#AngryBlackWoman is
now #HappyBrideToBe.

[laughs] Again!

We'll be right back.

[slamming]

- What's up with you and what was up with Malcolm?

What was that?
- I didn't plan that.

I didn't plan that.

When were you gonna tell me?

- Tell you what?

- You used me!

Austin shot the video
and you broke the story.

Oh, I respect your art.

You the best of both worlds.

It's all bullshit!

- That was the truth!

But I still got a job, Tia!

I still got a job!

- [panting] You know what, you're worse than Malcolm

but at least Malcolm
knows how to stand up

and be a real man.

- OK yes, OK yes, I should've told you, all right?

I should've told you but I wanted you here because

I know you still got so
much more to offer, OK?

- You know what, it's funny.

I'm quitting for the
exact same reason.

I thought you were
one of the good guys.

- [groans] Man!

- You did what?

- I needed to forgive him.

- Then say we're
cool, don't say I do!

- It's hard out here, Jillian.

- Yeah, sure it is.

- It is hard!

And Malcolm wants to be with me.

No, he's not perfect but
at least he's trying.

- You know who you sound
like right about now?

- So what?

There's nothing wrong with

wanting to have a
good life, Jillian.

The big picture is
what's important.

- But Tia, do you
love him, honestly?

- Yes!

- Well, there you have it.

I guess settling
is the new love.

- At least I'm willing
to put myself out here

even after I've been hurt.

Yeah, you haven't
given a man a real shot

since Brooks left.

Yeah you claim to be this, "Oh I'm a free spirited person,"

but it's all a facade.

You never take any
chances anymore,

not with anything!

- Well at least I don't keep making bad decisions!

- It takes courage to keep getting back out here.

What are you doing?

- I'm not runnin' around
here making people think

I got it all.

- Yeah, because you went around here sleeping with

every Tom, Dick, and Butch.

- Get out.

Get out!

- You know what?

Can't tell you anything.

- And take your stanky
ass flowers with you!

[somber music]

- This advice thing
is a lot of pressure.

I met this woman today who took her husband back

simply because I took you back.

- That's a good thing, right?

- I guess.

But what if she shouldn't have?

She's lookin' at my life
like it's perfect but--

- It is perfect
especially now that you

over that angry black thing.

I gotta say, that did
not go over too well

with the overheads at the firm.

My father was certainly
not impressed.

- What are you lookin' at?

- Give me back my phone.

- What's the problem?

I can't look through your phone?

- You can look through my phone,

but you should ask instead of just grabbing it from me.

I know you don't trust me.

- Should I?

- I don't have anything to hide.

I promise.

Go ahead, look.

[sighs]

- Fine then, I will.

- Uh huh, told you.

I'm doin' right by you, baby.

[soft music]

- TJ called me about coming back to the station

to be a field reporter.

- You should.

- But I don't know if I wanna go back to that old,

stuffy job.

- [sighs] That's the beauty of being married to me.

You can go back to work or you can just be Mrs. Wright.

- Logan-Wright.

- I'll just call you mine.

Now seriously, I gotta
get back to work.

[smooches]

♪ I'll just call you mine

- Oh, I signed us up for
Paint and Sip tomorrow.

♪ I told you I would
do right by you ♪

[door clicks]

[light music]

- I'm sorry about
the paint thing.

- It wasn't a thing.

It was supposed to be a date.

- I should pick the
dates from now on.

- It's not always going to be about you, Malcolm.

- Look, compromises
are hard for me.

- Marriage is one
big compromise.

- I know.

I know.

So please be patient with me.

I'm a work in progress.

You know what?

Why don't we just go down to the courthouse this Friday.

I mean, let's just
go ahead and do it.

I don't want to wait and besides, I don't have time

to plan anything big.

- You didn't really
plan the last one.

- Tia.

All I care about
is marrying you.

- OK.

But since the
reception is paid for,

can we still do the
party next month?

- Sure, whatever my baby wants.

[soft music]

[smooches]

[laughs]

- [Austin] Don't do that.

Let it happen naturally.

Do not put yourself out there.

Once you do that, you
can't go back and yo,

once they break up with
you, they gon' act like,

oh they had the upper hand the whole entire time

and it's not the case.

Damn man.

- [Brianna] You good bro?

You the angry black woman now?

[laughing]

- [Austin] Oh no, I'm good.

I'm just sayin', you
know what I'm sayin',

just trying to help.

- [Brianna] OK [laughs].

- [Tia] I say be honest.

Test the waters.

Give him signals to let him know you're interested

and see how he responds.

If you get nothing, back up.

[upbeat music]

- [Jillian] [laughs]
I'll tell you.

I'll show you a picture.

Don't button it
up, I like it open.

- You like it open?
- Yes.

- I like it closed.

- Hey Van.
- Hey, what up, dawg?

- How y'all doin'?

- [Jillian] No just--

- [Austin] Open it again. [laughing]

- [Jillian] That's
definitely in.

You are hilarious.

[light music]

- That's cute.

[phone dinging]

- May I set a
dressing room for you?

- Sure.

Uh, let's see.

This one too.

Thank you.

[knocking]

[light music]

- Get in here.

Grayson called me
about the book.

- I know, I guess it
wasn't meant to be.

- What?!

No, I'm not gon'
let you give up!

I thought it was a
really good idea.

- Hm, you cookin'?

- No, you know I don't cook.

- Smells like you
burnin' something.

- I don't cook.

[laughing]

I need to get the
elephant out the room.

I'm sleeping with Austin. - I'm still marrying Malcolm.

Wait, that's the elephant?!

- I know.

I just gotta get it
off my conscience.

Listen, I know he's young but what he lacks in age,

he makes up for in bed.

You hear me?

He's so young, he's so vibrant.

He just stimulate my whole body.

He just do somethin' to me like you see it right now?

It's happening, you know?

- Oh God, the last thing
I need is the image

of you and Austin.

- Shut up.

You talk to Van?

OK, he talked to Ms. Rashild about what happened

on the morning show.

She made a call.

Once again, Shelby
is field anchor.

So it's bye bye DC!

- What?

- Yes, so I told you
that woman was powerful!

- Oh my God!

[squealing]

- I couldn't stand her anyway!

- Oh my gosh, I hated her.

- They needed to just fire her.

I don't know why they
holdin' onto her.

- I know, let her go!

- They might as well
just take you back.

- I'm here.

- I'm sayin'!

- Right!

That's why you my best friend.

- I know.

We should take a girl's
trip this weekend.

What?

- I'm getting married Friday.

[playful music]

Hey, this is Tia.

I'm unavailable right now.

Please leave a message [beep].

- Hey Tia, it's Van.

I sent a text the other day.

I thought I'd just
leave a message.

I um...

[soft music]

I need to talk to you
about your key card.

You still have it.

Just call me back. ♪ I'm usually confident

♪ This love ain't
no common sense ♪

♪ You got me here questioning

♪ Am I the perfect man

- It might've cost me
a bag, but I did it

and I got my girl back.

Now what?

Can't keep a winner down, baby.

[upbeat hip hop music]

- Go ahead babe, I need
to find a parking spot.

- You're coming in, aren't you?

- If I find a
parking space, maybe.

If not, it's up to the universe.

[sighs]

Go on now!

[upbeat rap music]

- Hurry up!

- [Jillian] Good luck.

- Oh there's my
baby right there.

♪ There goes my Tia

♪ Look at you

- Uh, how you doin'?

- Good!

- Let me see this.

Come on, let's see this.

Let's take this right here.

[emoticons popping]

Look at that!

Hey baby, come on.

Why don't you tell the world how much you love me, hmm?

[laughing]

All right OK, look,
tell the people,

you know, how glad you're happy

to have your man back.
[laughing hysterically]

[laughs] Yeah.

- Oh, I can't marry you.

- Come on, stop trippin' babe.

Tell the people.

- Hey world.

You wanna know how much
I love Malcolm Wright?

Not as much as I love myself.

[sighs] I can't
marry you, Malcolm.

- What?

- This isn't real but one day, I hope that we both

can find someone
who can appreciate

and love us for
who we truly are.

[emoticons popping]
[horn honking]

- Dude, are you still live?

[sighs]

- Oh, I was just
about to walk over.

- Relax, I'm not
getting married.

- What?

What did he do?

- Calm down, calm down.

He didn't do anything.

Malcolm is who he is
and I was silly enough

to believe that that was enough

and for somebody, it will be.

But I just realized that I need and deserve so much more.

- And what made you
realize that, T?

[laughing]

T, this face!

- I know.

- Oh, you know what, you know I'm here if you need me,

if you need a place to stay, you know I got you.

- I'm getting my own place.

- Say that again.

- I'm getting my own place.

- You know what you be doin'!

- OK girl, you don't
have to be so happy!

- You don't understand, you was takin' up my space.

My goodness!

- You know what?

I think it's time for
me to get reacquainted

with the real me.

- You know what?

I like the real you.

Free girl.
- Yeah!

- She be a little bitter sometimes, but she all right.

- Ah, the past is the past.

Oh girl, listen!

[doorbell ringing]

Coming!

I said I'm coming!
[doorbell ringing]

Damn, I just.

I said I'm comin'!

Just hold on, just--

- I need to see your book.

- What book?

- The one I'm publishing.

- [gasps] Oh my gosh, ah!

- Tia, Tia!

You know I don't like
all that mushy stuff.

Give me a high
five or something.

Look, I know you said I don't take chances anymore.

So, if I'm gon' step out there,

why not take a bet on
somebody I believe in?

- Oh my God.

I've already started
collecting the stories.

Wait, hoo, hoo, hoo.

[papers rumbling]

- Tia, what are you doin'?

- Here.

Girl, all kinda stories.

Races, religions, everything.

This is gonna be so dope.

- And since it's
already written,

it's just a matter of editing.

And I know tons of editors.

Might take a few weeks.

- Really?

- Yes.

- That's my best friend,
that's my best friend,

friend, friend,
aye, get it friend!

Aye, that's my friend!

Hey!

Oh, oh, you know
what we should do?

We should plan a
huge release party

and announce the book
and your publishing.

- I like that.

You know what?

I'm gon' start
lookin' for venues.

- No need!

I know the perfect place.

[clapping]
- [Group] Hey, hey!

[cheering]

- Yes, lookin' like
a cherry popsicle.

Come on in.

Hey love.

Hi!

- Hi, I'm with WBX News.

- Yeah.

- Your face looks so familiar.

- Oh nope, I don't know you.

You look good.
- What do you mean

you don't know me?

- [Jillian] Purple little shirt.

- You know, I need
to get in there.

- Oh you don't, 'cause sir,

she's not allowed to come in.

You have a good day,
Betty Bo Peep, bye!

- It's my assignment.

I'm with WBX News.

What is her name?

[smooth music]

♪ Oh baby, light up my fire

♪ You got all that I desire

♪ Baby, go around the way

♪ Tell me do you feel the same

♪ I just wanna get to know

♪ Your body and then even more

- You kissed him!

- What, no I didn't.

- I saw you!

- No, you're seeing things.

I don't know what
you're talkin' about.

- I'm not seeing
anything but that kiss.

- Tia, don't you
have something to do?

[clapping]

- I am so excited about tonight

and the release of my new book!

[cheering]

I'm even more excited
to be doing this project

with my best friend,
Jillian James.

[cheering]

Proud of us.

[sighs] In my journey
over the last year

being the angry black woman, I realized that most of

the women I came across had the same thing in common.

Loneliness.

Most times, it's the root of our anger, our jealousy.

And for me, I desired
to be accepted.

Loneliness breaks the spirit and no one can soar

with a broken spirit.

But, after receiving
several thousand emails

from women all
across the country,

I realized that we never
need to feel lonely.

Why?

Because we're all dealing with the same concerns,

the same issues, the
same insecurities.

We just need to
connect to each other.

And I hope that my new book can bridge that gap.

The Joy Of Losing It
All is a compilation of

100 stories from women who lost or walked away from

everything and in the process, found themselves.

These are uplifting stories, heartfelt stories

about women who
rose from the ashes,

dusted themselves off,
and decided to soar.

Can the authors who are
in the house tonight

come and join me up here?

Just right here, yeah.

Thank you.

Gloria lost her son and the foundation in his honor

has fed thousands of kids.

Keisha escaped an
abusive marriage

and she mentors girl
all around the world.

Listen hey, I can keep going.

But what I wanna do right now

is read to you just one
of the amazing stories

so you can see what I'm saying.

I'm in my 30's and I'm
a pretty powerful person

when it comes to my career.

I'm driven by work.

It has been the only thing that is motivating me

over the years.

So much so that I related my personal value

to my career success.

Eventually, my brand
became my career.

I was fine with that until I hurt someone I cared about,

which made me reevaluate
what was important.

Success doesn't matter if you lose yourself in the process.

Maybe that's why it's
lonely at the top.

But after losing this person, I realized that I don't wanna

be at the top by myself.

I found someone to walk this journey with and I'm hoping

I can get a second
chance to show--

[smooth music]

that I am really one
of the good guys.

- I'm sorry, Tia.

Let me start over.

♪ I finally found the
right one for me ♪

- Wow, that's one woman
who won't be angry

or lonely for a long time!

- So um, I've been thinking.

I really miss being on the show.

Think I can come back?

- No.

We ain't gonna have no time to be on The Gossip Room

when we're busy prepping
your own show every day.

- My own show?

- I mean, that is, if
that's still your dream

and everything.
- Yes.

- Is it still your dream? - Mmhm, mmhm.

- Mmhm.
- Mmhm!

[laughing]

- Your dream is my dream, OK?

OK.

♪ I need you

♪ I need you

[upbeat music]

- Hi, hi, hi!

Hi!
- Hi!

May I help you?

- Yes, yes.

I'm Shelby Steele and I'm with WBX News, right?

And I'm supposed to be
in there like right now,

but some woman,
she kicked me out.

He knows who I'm talkin' about.

Could you, I don't even know

who she is. - We don't like the words

kicked out.

Let's just say you were
selectively dismissed.

- Select-- wait.

OK, what just happened?

'Scuse me, uh, lady?

Uh, lady in red.

Get your girl.

OK, y'all workin' together.

OK, white people involved now, OK it's gotten real.

All right, I'm out
here on the red carpet.

[sighs]

Media pass.
[playful upbeat music]

Whatever happened
to black magic, huh?

- Hello ladies!

Are you ready to excel?

- [Group] Yeah!

[cheering]

- I love this energy!

Nice!

Woo! All right!

I am Tia Logan, the
angry black woman,

and I, you saw the show right?

You saw the show, yes.

I'm the angry black woman and I am here to help you

release, right?
- Yeah, yes.

- Yes, right?

I think the best way
to get this started

is just to dig in with
your questions, right?

So uh, let's just talk.

- I'm going to start right in.

Do you think it's unhealthy to go through your man's phone?

- [Woman] Me too.

I would like to ask that. [crowd oohing]

- You would say yes.

I'm sick as hell.

[laughing]
[clapping]

- Oh my goodness, ladies.

I mean, who hasn't
done that, right?

Right, come on, let's just be real with each other

here tonight, right?

I can admit, I have done my fair share of snooping,

but I found that it just
made me more anxious

even when I found nothing.

But on the other hand, had I gone through Malcolm's phone,

maybe I would've caught
the lyin' bastard!

Right?
[cheering]

[clapping]

You know what I'm sayin'?

Right, I say go
through his phone!

[cheering]
[clapping]

Give me some, give me some!

You gotta do what
you gotta do, right?

Just don't get caught.

- You got it.

- Yeah.

- Were all three
of you in on this?

- No, this was all my idea.

[laughing]

- We should go dance.

Let's go dance.
- I don't dance.

I don't dance!

Oh, you tryin' to dance, dance.

- Let's dance.

- Hey y'all, we're gon' be back.

- [Jillian] We're
not comin' back.

- We not comin' back.

Y'all do y'all thing.

[laughing]

- Well I also may not
dance but you know

I bust a move baby.

- Oh really?

- Yeah really.

- Oh, let me see what
you talkin' bout.

Whoa, like that? - You see what I'm sayin'?

Like that.
[laughing]

[cheering]

- But you did it,
but you did it!
