00:00Previously...
00:02What did I miss y'all? What y'all been doing?
00:04Just was waiting to see if Jordan was fine.
00:06Is the bird again?
00:07I'm dating someone.
00:08Girl, he not even 30.
00:09Almost the same age with my son, Nico.
00:12You have a grown man in your house.
00:13You gotta have some tough love at the end of the day.
00:16He's right.
00:17Okay, so if you wanna rap, what are you doing to pursue your rap career?
00:20You need to have a backup plan.
00:21Until you become a successful rapper, work.
00:24I don't even wanna do this no more.
00:26All right, well, bye.
00:27I feel like I'm in survival mode.
00:30We're sleeping in separate rooms.
00:32I've mastered acting like I have everything all together.
00:35I just put on my mask and powered through it.
00:38When last time y'all had some seats?
00:39Two months.
00:40Uh-uh!
00:41That's what you got called with.
00:43Shut up!
00:45Latoya!
00:46How are you?
00:47How are you?
00:48So good to see you.
00:49I'm thinking, where do we know each other from?
00:52What I do wanna do is bring out a receipt.
00:55What in the FedEx Kinkos is this?
00:58Do you know me or do you not?
01:00This is crazy.
01:01You printed this out.
01:02Bitch, it's no weird.
01:03Bitch?
01:04Yeah.
01:05Yeah.
01:15You wish you look like this.
01:16Why?
01:17You wish.
01:18I wish.
01:19You wish.
01:20Try again.
01:21Don't get me talking to Teemu wig on.
01:22Girl, there's no weird.
01:23So bitch, what?
01:24There's no weird here.
01:25Yeah, please.
01:26No weird here.
01:27Please.
01:28No weird here.
01:29Big boss.
01:30All that.
01:31Right here.
01:32All day.
01:33Every day.
01:34You talking about me.
01:35The louder that you get.
01:36While Shaniqua is getting out of character, Latoya is getting her purse and getting out of
01:41there.
01:42All right.
01:43Please.
01:44The louder that you get doesn't mean anything.
01:45Please.
01:46I can talk loud or soft and I'm still getting my point across.
01:48It don't matter.
01:49So you guys can continue to minimize it with 2014 and 2015.
01:52Y'all not minimize nothing from when I was 13.
01:54Shut up.
01:55What is going on?
01:56Big ass.
01:57Big and proud.
01:58Yeah.
01:59As you should be.
02:00As you should be.
02:01Y'all stop.
02:02Y'all please.
02:03This too much.
02:04Oh my God.
02:05Oh my God.
02:06You caught a bitch.
02:08Y'all tripping.
02:10This a lot.
02:11Y'all, why did I invite Shaniqua to ladies night?
02:14I thought she was going to come in shining bright, smiling and having a good time and she just
02:19ruined the night.
02:20I don't do this in public.
02:22I'm embarrassed.
02:23I'm embarrassed.
02:24First.
02:55Hello.
02:57How are you?
02:59Good.
03:00How are you?
03:01Good.
03:02I'm loving this brand.
03:03Me too.
03:04I love this brand.
03:06I was feeling like a little zebra today, you know?
03:08The past few days have been hectic.
03:11It's like we've been in a circus that also meets at the zoo.
03:15We went from removing layers at group therapy to a downhill spiral singles ladies night out.
03:24Let's start.
03:25Let's start.
03:26How you doing?
03:27You so sexy.
03:30Now we just need to refresh as a group.
03:33Ladies, we're going to get to the drama.
03:35That's a given.
03:36But I want to share something with y'all.
03:39So y'all know that in Houston we own for like a lot of boss women doing boss things.
03:44And so I'm doing a dinner for women coming up this week and we're honoring 20 women in the city.
03:50The women's event is actually to honor 20 women in Houston in a women making history dinner.
03:59That's not the name of it.
04:02History.
04:03History in the making.
04:04Okay.
04:05I have two ladies here that I would like to honor.
04:09Yeah.
04:10Rowan and Elena.
04:12Yeah.
04:13So sweet.
04:14The dinner is for women who have broken barriers in their industry and who are just doing great things.
04:24So they are history in the making.
04:26She's so sweet.
04:27Yeah.
04:28She's so sweet.
04:29I love you.
04:30I'm excited to honor Elena.
04:33Elena can beat a face like I've never seen before.
04:38And I want her to know, hey sis, no matter what you're going through, you're growing through.
04:43That's her.
04:44That's her.
04:45Row has mastered a male dominated industry.
04:48She gets respect.
04:49She knows how to open a business.
04:51She knows how to consult.
04:52She knows how to lead.
04:53And sometimes I don't think she gets the flowers that she deserves.
04:56It's going to be a good time.
04:57I'm so proud of Row.
04:59Because her fight for wanting more out of life is all the fight she needs.
05:04I wanted to fill you and you in on ladies night that we had the other night.
05:10Oh yeah.
05:11Well, can I start?
05:12Because y'all like Shaniqua.
05:13Which bottle of this wine can we have?
05:16After the rodeo, I talked to Shaniqua.
05:19I thought she was a cool person.
05:22So I invited her.
05:24I was thinking like, okay, this is going to be great.
05:26Even when she walked in, it was very heavy.
05:29Shaniqua is insisting that the two of us have met.
05:34I think Shaniqua and I can both attest to the fact that we've communicated on Facebook probably 10 years ago.
05:40Here's the deal.
05:41You're in the business of PR.
05:42For sure.
05:43I've done business with you.
05:44Is there a reason that you're trying to minimize it?
05:46Because I don't care if it was two months ago, six years ago, or 10 years ago.
05:5010 years ago is worth minimizing.
05:51If you met somebody 10 years ago, it's not like our friends yesterday.
05:55She's still trying to show, I know you and you know me.
05:58And it's like, so she turns around.
06:01She brings out a stack of papers.
06:05But what I do want to do is bring out the receipts.
06:09So there's no Facebook here.
06:11This is communication via email with asking for your support.
06:15It doesn't matter the year.
06:16Do you know me or do you not?
06:18And I kept saying Shaniqua, like what are you, like stop.
06:24I feel really bad with what happened with Shaniqua and I feel partly responsible for that.
06:30The last thing I expected when I invited Shaniqua was for us to go into an email bullying competition.
06:36Maybe she's not who I thought she was.
06:39So Ro interjected and was like, this is messed up.
06:41Like this don't even make sense.
06:43Like you printing out stuff and all this stuff.
06:45And she turns and she says, bitch.
06:47So I got my purse and my phone and I left.
06:51And she left.
06:52So it took all of me to just sit there and be an adult.
06:56Because the old me with a big face, mopped her with that Timo wig around that .
07:00Nobody has ever sat there and called me a bitch.
07:02In my life, I've never let another person disrespect me like that in my life and I didn't react.
07:06True be told, I'm surprised Shaniqua didn't leave and no, I don't want to say this.
07:14We not promote violence.
07:16On my drive home, I just, I cried because I was like, I don't want people to look at me like I haven't.
07:27I don't want people to look at me like I haven't grown out of being that person.
07:31You know what I'm saying?
07:32But when somebody does something like that, like it's just, it just totally took me there.
07:36And I didn't want to, I didn't want to react like that.
07:38Especially not in a black owned business with other beautiful women there, like.
07:42But understand the way that you handled that.
07:45Yeah.
07:46Well, you held up that really well.
07:47Shut up.
07:48You were quiet.
07:49I couldn't say nothing because I knew I couldn't say anything.
07:50So that's big.
07:51I'm an East Coast girl.
07:52You know, we grew up a little bit more different out there.
07:54I had a fight growing up.
07:55Like, I used to be crazy at Christmas.
07:57And granted, I didn't react the way I would have reacted in the past, but I still reacted.
08:01I could have just walked away.
08:02You did good.
08:03You did good.
08:04You did good.
08:05You did damn good.
08:06I'm proud of you.
08:07But I will have to leave a little early tonight because, well, so, you know, today's the anniversary of my dad's passing.
08:14So me and my sister and my god sister are getting together to just, you know.
08:18Yeah, celebrate.
08:19We mentioned that about doing something to like celebrate.
08:22Yeah.
08:23They, they decided to, they wanted to go to a comedy show.
08:26Our dad loved to laugh.
08:27So that's how they wanted to, yeah.
08:29So I was like, okay, I'll definitely do that.
08:32Your curls already down.
08:33Yeah, you hear me baby?
08:34Yeah, let your hair down.
08:35Let your hair down.
08:36Let's do it.
08:37Give it to me.
08:38Yes.
08:39Enjoy it.
08:40I appreciate y'all.
08:41I've enjoyed hanging out.
08:42Y'all be good.
08:43A little zebra action.
08:45All right, all right, all right, all right.
08:50All right, all right.
08:52West side with the sunshine, slide on the scene, feeling golden.
08:57Let it ripple on your skin, gently.
09:00Till you're free.
09:02Landon, how was track practice?
09:03Good.
09:04On the 300, I got third place.
09:07Ooh.
09:08And on the 250, I got, um, second.
09:11Good job.
09:12I'm so proud of you.
09:13Yeah.
09:17Who is that?
09:18Bricky?
09:19It's me and me.
09:20Let's go see it.
09:21Come on.
09:22Hi.
09:23Hey, Landon.
09:24How you doing?
09:25Good to see you.
09:27Good to see you.
09:28Good to see you.
09:29I love my mom.
09:30She is the grandma that is the it grandma.
09:34She's called Mimi.
09:35You know, we don't call her grandma.
09:37What you up to?
09:39Hi, Mimi.
09:40Hi, Mimi.
09:41Oh.
09:42Yes.
09:43Hi, Lena.
09:44When it comes to my upbringing, my mom was really hard on me.
09:48Like, nothing was ever good enough.
09:50It was always having to be on all the time and having to be perfect.
09:54I do feel like that spills into my adulthood and it's a lot of pressure.
10:01You want anything to drink, eat?
10:03Um, yes.
10:05What do you have?
10:07Juice, coffee.
10:08You want some tea?
10:10Probably just water, really.
10:11Just water?
10:12Okay.
10:13Yeah.
10:14I remember I was like 15, 16.
10:16I would do everyone's makeup for free.
10:18I didn't think that was something you should charge for.
10:20My mom saw people in and out of the house and she was like,
10:23are these people paying you?
10:25And I said, no, they're not paying me.
10:27I'm just doing their makeup.
10:28She was like, you're using your product though.
10:30Why aren't they paying you?
10:31And so from there, she made me business cards.
10:34I like your pizza slippers.
10:36And from there, I started charging for makeup.
10:40And that's how my brand built.
10:41Like, sometimes your moms see things that you can't see.
10:45What's going on with you?
10:46What's the latest?
10:47So, okay.
10:49First things first, with my new studio,
10:52I'm excited about that.
10:53I can't wait to see it.
10:54The makeup lounge.
10:55I know you haven't seen it yet,
10:56but I'm working on getting it built out.
10:58Okay.
10:59Because you still have that other project
11:01that we both kind of talked about manifesting with,
11:05making up Beyonce.
11:07So we got to get that in.
11:10That's always on the vision board.
11:11Every year.
11:12I'm getting closer and closer.
11:13I just did her cousin's makeup.
11:15Anybody out now?
11:17Probably not.
11:18No.
11:19Yeah, we got to get Beyonce in there.
11:21That's for sure.
11:23Coming up.
11:24I realized there is some resentment in my relationship with Josh.
11:28You can handle a lot of things.
11:30But that doesn't sit well with me.
11:34It's been heavy on my heart with the situation about Shaniqua.
11:37Would y'all be open to talking to her?
11:39I'm a believer in second chances.
11:41You coming?
11:46I've been journaling a lot lately.
11:48Oh, really?
11:49And I realized I find myself constantly pouring into, like, my kids, my husband, my job.
11:57And so I have my friends that teach me self-care and the importance of that.
12:02I know I didn't.
12:05I was just doing the best I could under the circumstances because I didn't have my companion really jumping in there helping.
12:12So I was just trying to have that front until I decided I didn't want to have that front anymore.
12:18When you say that, have that front?
12:20That everything's okay.
12:22Everybody just thinks we're a happy couple, but no.
12:25With my mom, when she was married to my dad, she had to save face.
12:30She had to basically cover what she was dealing with and just act like everything is good.
12:34And I realized that that is what I learned because that's how I was raised.
12:40But, yeah, that's not normal.
12:43Do you think our family does that a lot?
12:45Like, put on a front?
12:47Probably.
12:48I was doing what I knew to do at that time.
12:50I guess until I couldn't anymore.
12:52You know, everybody has their limit.
12:54Yeah.
12:55So I got to mine.
12:57Okay.
12:58Eventually.
12:59Because I didn't want you there alone, just with your dad and drinking.
13:03Mm-hmm.
13:04Yeah.
13:05And we left.
13:06Yep.
13:07My dad was an alcoholic, and I never once had one lesson about how a man should treat me.
13:14So initially when Josh cheated on me, I didn't want to make a big deal about it.
13:18I was like, every woman goes through this, so let me just suck it up and marry him anyway.
13:23But it is something I never healed from.
13:26You can handle a lot of things.
13:28Yeah.
13:29I find myself tending to the kids, making sure they have what they need, getting them to bed
13:33on time.
13:34Mm-hmm.
13:35On the weekends, it's working.
13:36It's doing makeup.
13:37It's doing makeup.
13:38So there is some resentment there when it comes to my relationship with Josh.
13:42Sometimes things happen to build character.
13:44All right.
13:45But that doesn't sit well with me.
13:48I wanted to share about what I'm going through with Josh in regards to us being in separate
13:55rooms.
13:56But she doesn't always respond in the way that I would like her to.
14:00She's like, you should be smiling all day.
14:02Y'all are young.
14:03Y'all should be having fun.
14:04And I know she genuinely wants to see me happy.
14:07But I'm not there.
14:09You know, we never really sit down and talk.
14:11You're talking about, like, what you have going on and what you have to do.
14:14And then I'll talk about, like, quickly about what I did with work.
14:17But we don't sit down and talk.
14:19It's not because I don't want to.
14:20Mm.
14:21You don't want to.
14:22I do want to.
14:23No, you don't.
14:24You are always busy.
14:26You think I don't want to come visit if I have a choice?
14:30I think you make time for what you want to make time for.
14:34I notice a lot of similarities between my relationship with my mom and my relationship with Josh.
14:40With both relationships, I feel like I'm never good enough.
14:43I don't feel like my feelings matter.
14:47That's hard for me.
14:49Yep, that sounds like a plan.
14:50Well, I love you.
14:51You're Selena Pena.
14:52Oh, and that's what we need to start doing, too, saying I love you at all.
14:55Well, I love you.
14:56Okay.
15:13So I decided to partner with my big brother, attorney Rodney Jones, to do an event for women, to celebrate women, to let them know their greatness.
15:31Come back over there.
15:33Welcome.
15:34Can you please?
15:35Hey, Veronica.
15:36How are you?
15:37Great coming.
15:40These women have done tremendous things in the community, in their industries.
15:45So they are certified women.
15:50Okay.
15:51They are history in the making.
15:54How are you?
15:55Beautiful.
15:56Beautiful.
15:57You, too.
15:58I love this, honey.
15:59Wait a minute.
16:00Oh, damn.
16:01How are you?
16:02Oh, this is a cute restaurant.
16:04Oh, hey.
16:05Hello, ma'am.
16:06Look at us, pink and green.
16:07Oh, hi.
16:09I'm your wife.
16:10Oh, yes.
16:12This place is so cute.
16:13Did y'all be here before?
16:14Hello, ma'am.
16:15Hi, ma'am.
16:16It's so cute.
16:18All right, ladies.
16:19Hear ye, hear ye.
16:20As Rodney and I were thinking about this event, we came up with the idea of trailblazers for
16:39this year, right, in addition to our honorees.
16:42So, our first trailblazer for the year is Miss Roe.
16:47Come on up.
16:51Don't be shy.
16:52Roe is in hospitality.
16:54She also does consulting, and she's dominating her industry in more ways than once.
16:59So, let's give it up for her, Miss Roe.
17:00Thank you, y'all.
17:03For the toyer to even take enough of me to even want to honor me for the things that I do is, first of all, I'm being seen.
17:08And I never have that moment to myself to be like, wow, Roe, look at you.
17:13But I needed that moment because it makes me look back at myself and be like, damn, you actually did do something.
17:17While you're already standing, our second trailblazer is Miss Elena.
17:22Elena's a celebrity makeup artist.
17:24She's worked with everybody from Eve to Latoya Luckett to the list goes on.
17:28Oh, turn around so they can get pictures to you and Rodney.
17:31Rodney's who did.
17:33It feels good.
17:34It feels good to be recognized.
17:36With everything that's going on in my personal life, this feels very special to me.
17:40International recording artist.
17:43I'm Miss Sandy.
17:45Congratulations.
17:48It's Rebecca Williams.
17:50Sonny the Rap.
17:51Sonny the Rap.
17:53Congratulations.
17:54Miss Natalie.
17:55She is over all things entertainment.
17:58And she's also a recording artist too, okay?
18:01Congratulations to everybody.
18:03One last clap.
18:05That's it.
18:06We're going to play some music and we're going to have us a good time and eat good.
18:09Y'all good?
18:14Hey, y'all.
18:19Hey, Latoya.
18:20I came to sit and meet, bro.
18:22I love this Poison Ivy look that you have going on.
18:25You know how it is.
18:27Did you get to eat something, Latoya?
18:29You've been moving around.
18:30I know.
18:31That's me.
18:32I be in the zone.
18:33It's been heavy on my heart with the situation about Shaniqua.
18:36I think she owes the people at that table an apology.
18:40I mean, she owes to FedEx for printing out all those emails.
18:44The blank ink.
18:45She needs to apologize to them.
18:46The tree.
18:47That's T-Mu for that wig.
18:48And she need to apologize to everybody.
18:50So would y'all be open to talking to her?
18:53It's not that I'm not open.
18:55I don't want anybody around that feels the need to prove that hard that I know them.
19:01If I know you, I know you.
19:03She can take her apology and stick it up that wig she got.
19:06Maybe you should have a conversation with her.
19:07Yeah.
19:08Me and Rose.
19:09Don't nobody else want to.
19:10You coming?
19:13Brown.
19:14So where you going?
19:15Two minutes ago.
19:16To where?
19:17I turned around again.
19:18My attorney's office.
19:19Cheers to not giving other people your power.
19:22Standing in your power.
19:24Not letting people get you off your rocker.
19:26Cheers, cheers, cheers, cheers, cheers.
19:28Coming up.
19:29So with Nico, girl, I don't know when the last time I told him I loved him.
19:33I discredited Nico's emotions because I never thought of him.
19:37I love him so much.
19:38Do he know you love him so much?
19:40I don't know.
19:45You're so funny.
20:02Hello, Labrina.
20:03Hey, Winters.
20:04Say hi, Klee.
20:06Oh, my gosh.
20:07Hey, girl.
20:08You look cute.
20:09You're yourself such a songwriter.
20:11I love that for you.
20:13I've been there working the war zone and you, you're beautiful,
20:14and you out here pushing your baby in the swing, girl.
20:16I love it.
20:17Hey, Winston, let me get some of this so I can manifest this
20:20in the future.
20:21When we were in group therapy, Labrina
20:24opened my eyes to a whole lot about motherhood
20:26and being a teen mom.
20:28I had my son at 19.
20:31And the strain on my relationship with my mom
20:37happened when I really needed, like,
20:40specific answers and guidance.
20:43Besides, well, you need to go get a job,
20:46or you need to work harder.
20:48You get out.
20:49When you said that, I'm just like, you know,
20:51is that how my son feel?
20:53You know?
20:54I just feel like Labrina's my person for what
20:56I'm experiencing right now.
20:58Girl, you can sit down.
21:00Get us some wine.
21:01Yes, baby, get us some wine.
21:03Let's talk.
21:04I'm excited to meet with her and just see what advice
21:07she can give me because I'm lost.
21:10And I don't know who to turn to.
21:13How's family life?
21:14Good.
21:15So, like, with my son, meaning we have split our...
21:20He goes with his dad some days.
21:22Yeah, he go with his dad Mondays and Tuesdays,
21:25and, like, throughout the weekends.
21:27And I'm Wednesday, Thursday, Friday.
21:29So how is it working for you?
21:30Like...
21:31It doesn't work for me comfortably.
21:33His daddy was like, well, maybe he should come
21:35and stay with me, or did you suggest that?
21:37No, Pop did.
21:38Okay.
21:39Mm-hmm.
21:40Since Brennan has been splitting his time
21:42living with Will and I and living with his dad,
21:45there have been some not-so-great changes.
21:48So how was school, Pop?
21:49Mm-hmm.
21:50It don't seem like it's good.
21:52Your grades, nigga.
21:54You want to go to your dad house?
21:56Cool.
21:57But you can't go there and then nosedive
22:00where you going backwards.
22:03Football is what you want to do, right?
22:06Yes.
22:07You still need to make good grades.
22:09You still need to be accountable.
22:11You still need to show up for yourself every single day.
22:14I think the environment that Brennan is in,
22:16it's taking a toll on him being motivated.
22:20I would hope that Pop comes back to stay full-time,
22:24just to get back on track, because we can provide
22:27a better future for him.
22:29But he has to see on his own.
22:31Like, sometimes you got to let these kids hit their head.
22:34He enjoys being over his dads?
22:36I'm sure.
22:37Because it's not structured as much.
22:38It's not like here.
22:40I admire that about you, though,
22:41like how you can be as structured.
22:43Like, I feel like I lack so much structure in my house.
22:45Like, I don't feel like I put my foot down enough.
22:47So with Nico, girl, it's like, I feel like he...
22:53I kind of never worried about Nico.
22:56And it's like once he got older,
22:57it was kind of like he got lost in the whole shuffle of my life.
23:02I was pregnant with Nico at 19,
23:04and he was my best friend for a long time
23:06because I was a single woman.
23:07We've been through so much together.
23:09Like, he went to college with me to get my master's,
23:12and he literally sat in class with me throughout these times.
23:15We did everything together.
23:17You grew up with him,
23:19and y'all literally went through life together, Chloe.
23:22Yeah, we did.
23:23Y'all went through life together.
23:24And it's like, I just feel bad.
23:27I feel like I've forgotten about him along the way,
23:30especially with all that we've been through.
23:32I kind of overlook him.
23:34And that's horrible for me to say, but...
23:36I would feel horrible, too, as a mom.
23:39When no pass, Nico had to take on a lot of adult responsibilities
23:43that he wasn't ready for.
23:44He became the man of the house overnight.
23:46But I never looked at what Nico's been through.
23:49And I gave my all to my daughters.
23:52And I went wrong there. I really did.
23:56If you told Nico, have you checked in with him?
23:59How have you been since no pass?
24:01Are you good?
24:02No, I haven't.
24:04So you can't even share that grievance moment with him
24:07because you ain't checked in.
24:09I haven't.
24:10He going through it like you.
24:11Yeah.
24:12Maybe not to your extent, but he going through it.
24:14But he has said that.
24:15He's expressed that.
24:16He's like, I'm going through a lot, too.
24:17You know?
24:18And you don't know how I'm feeling.
24:20You know?
24:21And I'm like, well, damn.
24:22So I have not tapped into you.
24:25And Nico, he's so quiet.
24:27It's kind of like you never know what he thinking.
24:29You know?
24:30So it's like, how do I, like, break that barrier
24:32and get into his head and just...
24:34Stop getting into his head.
24:36Don't worry about that.
24:37You deposit mama love.
24:40I think if Chloe focused on the emotional needs
24:44and desires of her children,
24:46she could mend things with Nico easily.
24:49She'll see a drastic change in life,
24:52which is all the dominoes will fall into place.
24:55He has his plan, you know?
24:56And he don't have a plan B, plan C.
24:59He has a plan A, and he wants to stick to it.
25:02So it's like, I want to support it.
25:03But I'm like, I feel like we're so distanced
25:05because that's not what I want for him,
25:07to be, you know, doing music, rapping.
25:10I think you need to remove yourself and just give him love.
25:15It's not about coddling him or not letting him be a man.
25:19It's about letting him know that the love don't drop off.
25:22My heart just goes out to him because you not going through
25:27what I'm going through in terms of, like, this whole splitting thing
25:31and all of this stuff, and it makes me so emotional
25:34because I don't want to do what I'm doing right now.
25:37Yeah.
25:38And you have your son to, like, truly, like,
25:42tell him how much you love him.
25:43Yeah.
25:44And he's still here.
25:45I remember the stuff with Jordan and all that,
25:47about how he found out that I was dating somebody younger,
25:52and he don't feel like it's right, and that's the problem for me.
25:57You know, I feel like this created a lot of issues in our household.
26:02Then take a step back.
26:04From Jordan?
26:05Yeah.
26:06Your kids are the priority for you, the way that you say they are.
26:11Then you put your energy in that.
26:13So?
26:14Let me go 24.
26:15Yeah.
26:17The time is running from us.
26:20It is.
26:21I can't get it back.
26:22So what you need to do, put your eggs in that one basket.
26:26Chatting with Labrina has really opened my eyes to a lot.
26:29I realize I really need to love on my son,
26:32and I need to put him first, and Jordan, he on the back burner.
26:37We on the stove, and Nico's in the forefront.
26:39He just want to hear that you're proud of him.
26:42And I am.
26:43I love him so much.
26:45Like, he is really, he really, like...
26:49Do he know you love him so much?
26:51I don't know.
26:52I hope so.
26:53Like, I...
26:54But I don't know when the last time I told him I loved him.
26:57Hmm.
26:58I don't know.
26:59Like...
27:00I feel...
27:01I feel horrible.
27:04Coming up, you never forget your kids.
27:07Mm-hmm.
27:08And I feel like I forgot you.
27:13How could I do this to this boy?
27:14Like, I feel horrible.
27:16I feel like a bad mom.
27:23Tick-tock, life goes on.
27:26Sun comes down, turn the music on.
27:29I wish to be counting years.
27:32Now I see it's so beautiful.
27:39Hello, hola.
27:40I'll do a glass of the Cabernet.
27:42Okay.
27:43Which point to...
27:44Which one you on?
27:45You know, I don't...
27:46You don't drink?
27:47No.
27:48We never had a drink together.
27:49Get you a glass of champagne.
27:50My boyfriend, Jordan, told me that I need to be tougher on Nico.
27:53But after talking to Labrina, I realized I really need to love on my son.
27:58And I don't know how to navigate this journey.
28:00You know?
28:01And I'm trying to figure it out as I go.
28:03But I need to sit down and talk to him.
28:05Like, I wanted to do this because I feel like since you've been grown, we have not hung out.
28:10And I feel like I missed that.
28:11You know?
28:12Like, I know the 16-year-old Nico.
28:15You know?
28:16I don't know the 24-year-old Nico.
28:18I don't know what you like, what you drink.
28:21The fact that you drink is crazy.
28:24Crazy to me.
28:26I was talking to my friend Labrina, and she was basically saying, like, my heart goes out to him.
28:32Because you basically haven't shown him any love.
28:36Like, the love that he needs.
28:37You know?
28:38And you haven't had no in-depth conversations with him.
28:41You just in survival mode and going day for day.
28:45But not tapping into what's going on around you as far as, like, my kids.
28:50You know?
28:51And that's true.
28:52And I feel like sometimes I get angry.
28:55Because I'm thinking, like, my son is supposed to take care of me.
28:59You know?
29:00You're not supposed to be there for me.
29:02I don't like the relationship we have.
29:04It's not the same no more.
29:05That's why I didn't want your little sisters here.
29:07I feel like I made you a caretaker.
29:09You're not supposed to be a caretaker at 24?
29:12No.
29:13No.
29:14I'm their caretaker.
29:15You know?
29:16But I depend on you so much.
29:18It's kind of like...
29:19I don't mind.
29:20I don't mind it.
29:21It's just like, at the time when I was grieving and stuff, and, you know, going through what I was going through,
29:26it was just like, that's all I had was the girls to be there for them at that time.
29:33Yeah.
29:34And I appreciate that.
29:35That's what I was doing, you know?
29:37Yeah.
29:38Trying to fill in the spot that no did.
29:39Yeah.
29:40Yeah.
29:41And they love that.
29:42Because you fill in an empty space.
29:44Yeah.
29:45In our house.
29:46Yeah, come on.
29:47I feel like if I wasn't here, they'd be...
29:48I don't know where I would be without you.
29:50And I feel like you don't even realize how valuable you are to me.
29:55Where would I be without you?
29:58Where would the girls be?
29:59I'm working.
30:01I ain't got time to play games and do this, you know?
30:05And I feel like I forgot you.
30:07I don't know.
30:12I was just thinking, like, damn, I really haven't, like, tapped into you.
30:17And I want to apologize for that.
30:20I feel horrible.
30:21I feel like a bad mom.
30:23Like, how could I do this to this boy?
30:25Like, I forgot about him.
30:28That's not fair.
30:30That's hurtful.
30:33How could I, as a mom, do that to him?
30:40Coming up, y'all are very mean to each other.
30:42It was not our best moment, Ro.
30:44Are we gonna live to see maybe one more?
30:46Yeah, but you calling me a weirdo and you calling me a bitch with two different things.
30:49I was just thinking, like, damn, I really haven't, like, tapped into you.
30:59And I want to apologize for that.
31:02Um, I do.
31:06I want to apologize to you.
31:08Well, things are not how I want it to be.
31:11But it's better, for sure, for me.
31:14Yeah.
31:15As far as my mental health, you know?
31:17Yeah.
31:18So you feel like you went through some mental health struggles?
31:20Like, you feel like you...
31:21I did.
31:22Was depressed?
31:23Yeah, I was.
31:24But no, because now I was doing, now I have to, I can't, like, I be trying to tell you, I can't go to the studio.
31:31Because I was thinking about, like, man, what would no one need to do right now, you know?
31:35And I was like, man, I can't even, like, process everything.
31:39And I'm so sorry for that.
31:40Yeah.
31:41That really breaks my heart.
31:43I feel like I gotta make some changes.
31:45Yeah.
31:46But I want you to know that the stuff with the guy that I'm dating, right?
31:50Yeah.
31:51There is nobody in this world that I would put before you and your sisters, okay?
31:58That's not the priority in my life as far as our relationship.
32:03You are the priority in my life.
32:05Like, I want, I want you to pursue your dreams, whatever it may be.
32:10You know what I want to do with the music stuff?
32:12Yeah.
32:13Stuff like this.
32:14And I want to help you with it.
32:15Like, I want to be supportive of what you want to do.
32:17Like, what do, what do you see a plan in the music industry?
32:20What you want to do?
32:21Let's say rapping don't work out.
32:22Nah, it's gonna work.
32:23Because I know...
32:24Okay.
32:25What are we gonna do in the next year?
32:26Next year?
32:27What happened?
32:28Drop some music.
32:29That's all I need to do.
32:30I need to put some music out and videos.
32:33Life is all about transitions.
32:35Life is all about evolving.
32:36And I feel like right now, I really need to be supportive of Nico and all of his dreams,
32:42all of his aspirations.
32:44I know you want me to go to school, do that.
32:46But honestly, I'm not trying to be a doctor, a nurse, or a lawyer.
32:51I feel like I'm that person criticizing your life and trying to navigate your life and your journey.
32:57But it's not mine.
32:58And I have to realize that it's because I'm your mama.
33:01I'm harder on you.
33:03Yeah, that's why I don't take it to heart.
33:04I just...
33:05Well, I'm glad you don't.
33:06I'm just trying to do what I need to do.
33:09I'm going to the studio tomorrow, so that's a start.
33:12That's a start?
33:13Yeah.
33:14Well, I want you to stay focused.
33:16If you need something, if you need me to invest in your dreams, whatever you need, like, I got you.
33:21My conversation with Nico is probably what I needed right now in life.
33:26It's the best thing that has happened to me.
33:29I feel so uplifted.
33:31I feel like light now.
33:34I was so heavy before having this conversation, and I just feel good.
33:39I love you, Nico.
33:40I love you, too.
33:42And I appreciate you, and I just want you to know that.
33:45Let me hug you.
33:47I love you so much.
33:51I don't do fights.
34:07I don't do public altercations.
34:10I'm a woman of class.
34:13Believe it or not, but I am.
34:16And I was very taken aback by Shaniqua's behavior.
34:20Hello, ma'am.
34:21Hey.
34:22Oh, she look cute.
34:23You look so cute.
34:24We're kind of with the same vibe.
34:25Look at us.
34:26How are you?
34:27However, I'm a believer in second chances, so I felt like bringing Shaniqua around one more time just to give her another chance would be good.
34:36Shaniqua.
34:37What happened?
34:39What happened?
34:40You know, Ro's energy was disturbed from the time I walked in the door.
34:46Hello.
34:47How are we doing today?
34:48Hey.
34:49I'm not trying to be mean, but the fact that you keep popping up in our friend group situations, I'm confused.
34:54I don't know about a pop-up.
34:55It is a pop-up because we know you were coming, Janelle.
34:57Uh-oh.
34:58Well, excuse me.
34:59That's fair.
35:00In Ro's defense, Ro's energy is always very standoffish.
35:03She just, that's just her.
35:04That's her demeanor.
35:05Okay.
35:06Her mind is always somewhere else, so she just be like, whatever, you know?
35:08Okay.
35:09She's a very sweet and loving person.
35:13Absolutely.
35:14Like, and she gonna go to war for her friends, as you can see.
35:17I'm not used to giving people a second, third, fourth chance.
35:20It's like, usually when somebody does something bad to me, they just don't exist to me anymore.
35:23And in order for me to transition to who I'm trying to be, can't always do the things I always did in the past, right?
35:29Hey, ma'am.
35:30Hello.
35:31Hey.
35:32Hello.
35:33How are you?
35:34I'm kind of nervous because...
35:35You gonna hug me?
35:36You remember Shaniqua, huh?
35:37Yes.
35:38What if you do it again?
35:39I'm not gonna say I'm about to be new Ro again if you put your hands in my face and call me a bitch again in my face.
35:43I don't know how I'm gonna react to that the second time.
35:46So I'm pretty apprehensive about how this is gonna play out.
35:49We were just kind of catching up and talking about what happened at Mocha.
35:52So when did it take a turn for the worse?
35:54When I blurted out...
35:56Pulled your paperwork out.
35:57Yeah.
35:58The paperwork has nothing to do with Ro.
35:59Like, I don't know Ro.
36:01I haven't had interactions in the past with Ro.
36:03So the paperwork was for LaToria.
36:05Right.
36:06When Ro responded, I guess, to the paperwork, that...
36:09I think that's kind of when it took a turn because it was...
36:12Oh, that's...
36:13You know, that's weird or...
36:14Ro mentioned like...
36:15Why did you bring...
36:16You're a weirdo.
36:17Why would you bring that?
36:18And I think that just escalated.
36:19That one was weird.
36:20You know, name calling and all the things.
36:22She probably should have called no weirdo.
36:23Yeah, but me calling you a weirdo and you calling me a bitch, it's two different things.
36:26In my head, I'm like, what the hell am I here for?
36:29Like, if we're not going to be grown up about this and have this conversation, then what
36:33am I sitting in this seat for?
36:35I'm here to maybe have a conversation.
36:38Let's move forward from this moment.
36:39And you're still staying at 10 on what you did wrong.
36:41That was...
36:42Y'all were very mean to each other.
36:43Yeah.
36:44That was not our best moment, Ro.
36:45Are we going to live to see maybe one more?
36:59That was not our best moment, Ro.
37:01Are we going to live to see maybe one more?
37:06When I made that comment, it wasn't shade to you.
37:08It was just like in general, because Latoya is softer, like, out of the group of girls,
37:12right?
37:13Southern Bill.
37:14Really?
37:15Like, my child got bullied at school.
37:17Of course.
37:18Like, when I was growing up, I probably was the person that bullied the bullies.
37:20But I didn't like it, so I used to say something to them.
37:22So, like, that type of stuff bothers me, too.
37:24And I feel like in that moment, you were bullying her.
37:26So, I don't want to cut you off, Ro, because number one, I respect you.
37:29I want to hear you out.
37:30Thank you so much for sharing.
37:31And I'll share with both of y'all that bullying is something that I have gone through,
37:36like, for real.
37:39And when you grow up in those moments, you're kind of on defense.
37:43So, I'll be honest.
37:44I have triggers.
37:45You know, people's people, how they treat me, you know, maybe snub me certain comments
37:50and things that you weren't ill intended.
37:53It was a trigger for me.
37:55Where do we go from here?
37:56I still feel weary.
37:58It's just a...
37:59I don't know.
38:00I'm just sensitive about somebody.
38:01It's just a scary situation for me.
38:02Yeah.
38:03I don't know why it's scary.
38:04You feel like she would do it again?
38:05Yes.
38:06I feel like if you get triggered, you're gonna...
38:07Or I don't know if it was because...
38:09If it's because...
38:10I don't know, man.
38:11Like, I've been lied on.
38:12I've been talked about.
38:13I've been...
38:14I've been...
38:15Just...
38:16You name it.
38:17It didn't happen to me.
38:18I didn't set up.
38:19I done all kind of been robbed.
38:20That's what's happened to me in my life.
38:21And...
38:22So you have a...
38:23It's a level of trust that's missing.
38:24Yeah.
38:25I'm just guarded as far as when it comes to, like, friendships because I'm so used to
38:27people on me eventually.
38:29Yeah.
38:30Or me, you know, going all out to be somebody's friend or doing above and beyond.
38:34And just to find out that they don't give a damn, really.
38:37That's one of the main reasons I'm guarded because I feel like I'm tired of getting hurt
38:41by people that I love.
38:42They are.
38:43I understand.
38:44That's just how I am.
38:45And I know it ain't always, like, the best thing, the best way to be.
38:46But that's just how I am.
38:47Yeah.
38:48So it's like, it's a gift and a curse over your girl.
38:50Yes.
38:51Do you feel like you're guarded too?
38:52Well, I think...
38:53I do think because of trying to protect myself, having a shell, having a layer, you know,
38:57because of being bullied, it's traumatizing.
38:59You know, when...
39:00When you think girls are your friends or, you know, and again, being six foot tall and
39:05super skinny, olive oil and being made fun of.
39:10And then also, you know...
39:11Y'all actually have similar stories.
39:12Very similar because, you know, kind of the flip side of what Ro was sharing is, like,
39:17ultimately just being not treated well.
39:19When you're not treated well, it kind of makes you shell up to people, like, hold up.
39:24Hearing Shaniqua's story about what she'd been through in her life kind of made me see who
39:28she was outside of what she initially showed me.
39:32It just made me kind of be like, okay, well, we all been through stuff and we all made mistakes.
39:35And I do just want to humbly just, number one, just apologize and own it.
39:39So, it's never okay to call anybody out of their name and I certainly did.
39:43And I did...
39:44I would like to just apologize and say, you don't have to worry about that happening again.
39:48So, girl, you gonna let up off my wig.
39:53This is my first time ever actually being in a situation where I'm considering trying
39:59to move forward and reconcile this.
40:01And granted, now I'm having more of an understanding of who she is.
40:04But just in this moment with us apologizing and us getting, you know, moving forward from
40:08this situation doesn't mean that we can be best friends now.
40:10What I know going forward is that there's a mutual respect.
40:13And that's enough for me.
40:14I think there's a mutual respect.
40:15I'm not disrespectful.
40:16And I don't talk about you already though.
40:17Yeah, yeah, yeah.
40:18Oh, since the days of you probably talk about me too.
40:19I was like, you know, we gonna break us out right now.
40:22I'll just end up right now.
40:23And I appreciate that.
40:24So, I'm a believer in second chances.
40:27Ro, not so much.
40:29I'm not.
40:31I'm still learning how to just navigate with who I am compared to who I used to be.
40:38And the old me, I would have never sat down and had that conversation.
40:41It makes me be proud of myself.
40:43It's just showing me that I've grown as a person.
40:46Y'all want to get a drink?
40:47I ain't drinking today.
40:48Why?
40:49I don't feel like drinking.
40:51All right, well, we'll go get you a juice.
40:54Yeah, let's go.
40:56We need a cocktail.
41:01Next time, I've always wanted to be in a relationship.
41:05Let me find you one of these cowboys.
41:07Woo!
41:08Hello, hello.
41:09Nice meeting you.
41:10How you feel about me dating?
41:12Hmm?
41:13I ain't went on a period yet.
41:14Are you ready for a baby right now?
41:15What is that?
41:16Oh, my gosh.
41:17You know, people's people, how they treat me.
41:19You know, people's people, how they treat me.
41:33That's exactly where they treat me.
41:34I feel like a baby with it.
41:36I'm worn out.
41:38Yes.
41:39Yeah.
41:45О, people.
41:46How you feel about it?
