Short filmTranscript
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.
00:08He's 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 want to 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 want to do this no more.
00:26All right, well, bye.
00:27I feel like I'm in survival mode.
00:29We're sleeping in separate rooms.
00:31I've mastered acting like I have everything all together.
00:34I just put on my mask and power through it.
00:37When last time y'all had some sex?
00:39Two months.
00:40Uh-uh!
00:41That's what you got called with!
00:43Lettoria!
00:45How are you?
00:46How are you?
00:47So good to see you.
00:49I'm thinking, where do we know each other from?
00:52What I do want to do is bring out every person.
00:55What in the FedEx Kinko's 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.
01:20Shaniqua.
01:21Don't get me talking.
01:22This Timo wig on.
01:23Girl, there's no weird.
01:24So bitch, what?
01:25There's no weird here.
01:26Yeah, please.
01:27No weird here.
01:28Please.
01:29No weird here.
01:30No weird here.
01:31Big boss.
01:32All that.
01:33Right here.
01:34All day.
01:35Every day.
01:36You talking about me.
01:37The louder that you get.
01:38The louder that you get.
01:39The louder that you get.
01:40The louder that you get.
01:41I'm still getting my point across.
01:42It don't matter.
01:43So you guys can continue to minimize it with 2014 and 2015.
01:44Y'all not minimize nothing from when I was 13.
01:45Shut up.
01:46What is going on?
01:47Big ass.
01:48Big and proud.
01:49Yeah, as you should be.
01:50As you should be.
01:51Y'all stop.
01:52Y'all please.
01:53This too much.
01:54Oh my God.
01:55Oh my God.
01:56Oh my God.
01:57You caught up, bitch.
01:58Y'all tripping.
01:59This a lot.
02:00Y'all, why did I invite Shaniqua to ladies night?
02:01I thought she was going to come in shining bright, smiling, and having a good time.
02:18And she just ruined the night.
02:20I don't do this in public.
02:23I'm embarrassed.
02:53Oh my God.
02:54Hello.
02:55How are you?
02:56Good.
02:57How are you?
02:58Good.
02:59I'm loving this brand.
03:00I love this brand.
03:02I was feeling like a little zebra today, you know?
03:03The past few days have been hectic.
03:04It's like we've been in a circus that also meets at the zoo.
03:16From removing layers at group therapy to a downhill spiral singles ladies night out.
03:23Let's start.
03:24Let's start.
03:25Let's start.
03:26Boom.
03:27How are you doing?
03:28You 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.
03:38So y'all know that in Houston we know 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.
04:12Aww.
04:13That is so sweet.
04:14Yeah.
04:15So sweet.
04:16The dinner is for women who have broken barriers in their industry and who are just doing great
04:24things.
04:25So they are history in the making.
04:27She's so sweet.
04:28Yeah.
04:29She's so sweet.
04:30I love you.
04:31I'm excited to honor Elena.
04:34Elena can beat a face like I've never seen before.
04:38I 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.
04:45Ro 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 Ro because 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 communicated on Facebook probably 10 years ago.
05:40Here's the deal.
05:41You're in the business of PR.
05:43For sure.
05:44I've done business with you.
05:45Is there a reason that you're trying to minimize it?
05:47Because 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.
06:08So there's no Facebook here.
06:11This is communication via email.
06:13With asking for your support.
06:15It doesn't matter the year.
06:16Do you know me or do you not?
06:20And I kept saying Shaniqua.
06:22Like, what are you, like stop.
06:24I feel really bad with what happened with Shaniqua.
06:27And 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.
06:38So Ro interjected and was like, this is messed up.
06:41Like this don't even make sense.
06:42Like you printing out stuff and all this stuff.
06:44And she turns and she says, bitch.
06:49So 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.
06:55Because the old me with a big face mopped her with that Timo wig around that .
06:59Nobody has ever sat there and called me a bitch.
07:01In my life, I have never let another person disrespect me like that in my life.
07:04And I didn't react.
07:06True be told, I'm surprised Shaniqua didn't leave in...
07:10No, I don't want to say that.
07:13We 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, especially not in a black owned business with other beautiful women there.
07:41But understand the way that you handled that.
07:45I was like saying.
07:46You handled 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.
08:00And I 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.
08:09Where you going?
08:10Well, 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.
08:19Because I remember we mentioned that about doing something to like celebrate.
08:22Yeah.
08:23They 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.
08:35Yeah, give it to me.
08:37Yes.
08:38Enjoy it.
08:39I appreciate y'all.
08:40I've enjoyed hanging out.
08:41Y'all be good.
08:42A little zebra action.
08:44All right.
08:45All right.
08:46All right.
08:48All right.
08:49All right.
08:50All right.
08:51All right.
08:52West side with the sunshine's white on the scene feeling golden.
08:56Let it rip along your skin gently.
08:59Feel you're free.
09:01Landon, how was track practice?
09:02Good.
09:03Good.
09:04Good.
09:05On the 300, I got third place.
09:07Ooh.
09:08And on the 250, I got second.
09:11Good job.
09:12I'm so proud of you.
09:13Yeah.
09:15Who's that?
09:16Who is that?
09:17Bricky?
09:18It's me and me.
09:19Come on.
09:20Let's go see it.
09:21Come on.
09:22Hi.
09:23Hey, Landon.
09:24How you doing?
09:25Good to see you.
09:26Good to see you.
09:28I love my mom.
09:29She is the grandma that is the it grandma.
09:33She's called Mimi.
09:35You know, we don't call her grandma.
09:37What you up to?
09:39Hi, Mimi.
09:40Oh.
09:41Yes.
09:42Hi, Lena.
09:43When it comes to my upbringing, my mom was really hard on me.
09:47Like, nothing was ever good enough.
09:49It 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?
10:02Eat?
10:03Um, yes.
10:05What do you have?
10:07Juice?
10:08Coffee?
10:09You want some tea?
10:10Probably just water.
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 and that's how my brand built.
10:41Like, sometimes your moms see things that you can't see.
10:44What's going on with you?
10:46What's the latest?
10:47So, okay.
10:48First things first.
10:50With my new studio, I'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, but I'm working on getting it built out.
10:58Okay.
10:59Because you still have that other project that we both kind of talked about manifesting
11:04with making up Beyonce.
11:06So we got to get that in.
11:09That's always on the vision board.
11:11Every year I'm getting closer and closer.
11:13I just did her cousin's makeup.
11:15Anybody out there?
11:16Probably not.
11:17No.
11:18Yeah, we got to get Beyonce in there.
11:20That'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.
11:29But 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?
11:42Um, I'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.
12:04Um, I was just doing the best I could under the circumstances,
12:09because 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.
12:26With 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.
12:35And 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? Like, 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. You 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
13:33to bed on time.
13:34Mm-hmm.
13:35On the weekends, it's working.
13:36It's doing makeup.
13:37So 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.
13:47I 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, but I'm not there.
14:08You 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, you 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.
14:33I notice a lot of similarities between my relationship with my mom
14:38and 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 Selena Pena.
14:52Oh, and that's what we need to start doing, too.
14:54Saying I love you at all.
14:55Well, I love you.
15:03Okay.
15:20So I decided to partner with my big brother, Attorney Rodney Jones,
15:24to do an event for women.
15:27To celebrate women.
15:29To let them know their greatness.
15:31Come back over there.
15:33Welcome.
15:34Can you please?
15:35Hey, Veronica.
15:36How are you?
15:37Very cool.
15:40These women have done tremendous things in the community,
15:43in their industries.
15:45So they are certified women.
15:50Okay.
15:51They are history in the making.
15:54How are you?
15:55You look gorgeous.
15:56Beautiful.
15:57You, too.
15:58I love this.
15:59I love this, honey.
16:00Wait a minute.
16:01Oh, damn.
16:02How are you?
16:07Oh, this is a cute restaurant.
16:09Well, hey.
16:10Hello, ma'am.
16:11Look at us, pink and green.
16:14I'm your wife.
16:15Oh, yes.
16:17This place is so cute.
16:19Have y'all been here before?
16:20Hello.
16:21Hey.
16:22Oh, so good.
16:24All right, ladies.
16:25Hear ye.
16:27Hear ye.
16:28As Rodney and I were thinking about this event, we came up with the idea of trailblazers for
16:39this year, right?
16:40In addition to our honorees.
16:41our honorees. So our first trailblazer for the year is Miss Ro. Come on up. Don't be shy. Ro is in
16:53hospitality. She also does consulting and she's dominating her industry in more ways than one. So
16:58let's give it up for her, Miss Ro. Thank you, y'all. For Latoya to even think enough of me to even
17:04want to honor me for the things that I do is, first of all, I'm being seen. And I never have
17:10that moment to myself to be like, wow, Ro, look at you. But I needed that moment because it makes me
17:15look back at myself and be like, damn, you actually did do something. While you're already standing,
17:19our second trailblazer is Miss Elena. Elena's a celebrity makeup artist. She's worked with
17:25everybody from Eve to Latoya Luckett to the list goes on. Oh, turn around so they can get pictures
17:30to you and Rodney. Rodney's who did. It feels good. It feels good to be recognized. With everything
17:36that's going on in my personal life, this feels very special to me. International recording
17:42artist. I'm Miss Sandy. Congratulations. Rebekah Williams. Tony the Rapper. Miss Natalie. She is over
17:56all things entertainment. And she's also a recording artist too, okay? Congratulations to everybody.
18:02One last clap. Let's see. We're going to play some music and we're going to have us a good time
18:08and eat good. Y'all good? Hey, y'all. Hey, Latoya. I came to sit in me, bro. I love this poison ivy look
18:25that you have going on. You know how it is. Did you get to eat something, Latoya? You've been moving
18:29around when I work. I know. I be in the zone. It's been heavy on my heart with the situation
18:35about Shaniqua. I think she owes the people at that table an apology. I mean, she owes
18:41to FedEx for printing out all those emails. The blank ink. She needs to apologize to them. The tree.
18:46That's T-Mu for that wig. And she need to apologize to everybody. So would y'all be open to talking to her?
18:53It's not that I'm not open. I don't want anybody around that feels the need to prove that hard that
18:59I know them. If I know you, I know you. She can take that posture and stick it up that wig she got.
19:05Man, you should have a conversation with her. Yeah. Me and Rose. Don't nobody else want to. You coming?
19:13Brown. So where you going? You had news two minutes ago. To where? I turned around again. My attorney's office.
19:19Cheers to not giving other people your power. Standing in your power. Not letting people get you
19:25off your rocker. Cheers, cheers, cheers, cheers, cheers. Coming up. So with Nico, girl, I don't know when
19:31the last time I told him I loved him. I discredited Nico's emotions because I never thought of him.
19:37I love him so much. Do he know you love him so much? I don't know.
19:49I don't care what they say about you. I don't care. You're so funny. I'm a fool my own to be and about you. I don't care. I don't care.
20:01Hello, Labrina. Hey, Winter. Say hi, Queen. Oh, my gosh. Hey, girl. You look so cute. You look such a songwriter. I love that for you.
20:12I don't mean that work in the war zone and you out here pushing your baby in the swing, girl. I love it. Hey, Winter. Let me get some of this psychic manifestants for the future.
20:21When we were in group therapy, Labrina opened my eyes to a whole lot about motherhood and being a teen mom.
20:28I had my son at 19. And the strain on my relationship with my mom happened when I really needed, like, specific answers and guidance besides, well, you're going to need to go get a job or you need to work harder. You get out.
20:49When you said that, I'm just like, you know, is that how my son feels? You know?
20:54I just feel like Labrina's my person for what I'm experiencing right now.
20:58Girl, you can sit down. Thank you.
21:00Get us some wine. Yes, baby. Get us some wine. Let's talk.
21:04I'm excited to meet with her and just see what advice she can give me because I'm lost.
21:10And I don't know who to turn to.
21:13How's family life? Good.
21:15So, like, with my son, meaning we have split our...
21:20He goes with his dad some days.
21:22Yeah, he goes with his dad Mondays and Tuesdays and, like, throughout the weekends.
21:27And I'm Wednesday, Thursday, Friday.
21:28So, how is that working for you? Like...
21:30It doesn't work for me comfortably.
21:32His daddy was like, well, maybe he should come and stay with me. Or did you suggest that?
21:36No. Pop did.
21:37Okay.
21:38Mm-hmm.
21:39Since Brennan has been splitting his time living with Will and I and living with his dad, there have been some not-so-great changes.
21:47So, how was school, Pop?
21:49Mm-hmm.
21:50It don't seem like it's good.
21:52Your grades sleep.
21:54You want to go to your dad's school.
21:56But you can't go there and then nosedive where you going backwards.
22:04Football 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, it's taking a toll on him being motivated.
22:20I would hope that Pop comes back to stay full-time just to get back on track because we can provide a 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 dad's?
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, like how you can be as structured.
22:43I 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, I kind of never worried about Nico.
22:55And it's like once he got older, it was kind of like he got lost in the whole shuffle of my life.
23:01I was pregnant with Nico at 19, and he was my best friend for a long time because 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, and he literally sat in class with me throughout these times.
23:15We did everything together.
23:16You grew up with him, and y'all literally went through life together, Chloe.
23:21Yeah, we did.
23:22Y'all went through life together, and it's like, I just feel bad.
23:26I feel like I've forgotten about him along the way, especially with all that we've been through.
23:31I kind of overlook him, and that's horrible for me to say, but...
23:35I would feel horrible, too, as a mom.
23:38When no pass, Nico had to take on a lot of adult responsibilities that he wasn't ready for.
23:43He became the man of the house overnight.
23:45But I never looked at what Nico's been through, and I gave my all to my daughters, and I went wrong there.
23:54I really did.
23:55If you told Nico, have you checked in with him?
23:58How have you been since no pass?
24:00Are you good?
24:02No, I haven't.
24:03So you can't even share that grievance moment with him, because you ain't checked in.
24:08I haven't.
24:09He going through it like you.
24:11Maybe not to your extent, but he going through it.
24:13But he has said that.
24:14He's expressed that.
24:15He's like, I'm going through a lot, too, you know?
24:17And you don't know how I'm feeling.
24:19You know?
24:20And I'm like, well, damn.
24:21So I have not tapped into you.
24:24And Nico, he's so quiet.
24:26It's kind of like you never know what he thinking, you know?
24:29So it's like, how do I, like, break that barrier and get into his head and just...
24:34Stop getting into his head.
24:35Don't worry about that.
24:37You deposit mama love.
24:39I think if Chloe focused on the emotional needs and desires of her children, she can mend things with Nico easily.
24:49She'll see a drastic change in life, which is all the dominoes will fall into place.
24:54He 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.
25:01So it's like, I want to support it.
25:03But I'm like, I feel like we're so distanced because that's not what I want for him to 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 what I'm going through in terms of, like, this whole splitting thing and all of this stuff.
25:32And it makes me so emotional because I don't want to do what I'm doing right now.
25:37Yeah.
25:38And you have your son to, like, truly, like, tell him how much you love him and he's still here.
25:45I remember the stuff with Jordan and all that about 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.
26:10Then you put your energy in that.
26:13So?
26:14Let me go 24.
26:15Yeah.
26:17The time is running from us.
26:19It is.
26:20You can't get it back.
26:21So 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 realized I really need to love on my son, and I need to put him first.
26:33And Jordan, he on the back burner.
26:36We 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.
26:44Like, 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 don't think...
26:54When the last time I told him I loved him.
26:56Hmm.
26:57I don't know.
26:58Like, I feel, I feel horrible.
27:03Coming up, you never forget your kids.
27:06Mm-hmm.
27:07And I feel like I forgot you.
27:12How could I do this to this boy?
27:14Like, I feel horrible.
27:15I feel like a bad mom.
27:24Life goes on.
27:25Sun comes down.
27:26Turn the music on.
27:28I used to fear.
27:30Counting you.
27:31Now I see it so clear.
27:38Hello.
27:39Hola.
27:40I'll do a glass of the Cabernet.
27:41Okay.
27:42Which one you want?
27:43You know, I don't...
27:44You don't drink?
27:45No.
27:46We never had a drink together.
27:47Get you a glass of champagne.
27:48My boyfriend, Jordan, told me that I need to be tougher on Nico.
27:52But after talking to Labrina, I realized I really need to love on my son.
27:57And I don't know how to navigate this journey.
27:59You know, and I'm trying to figure it out as I go.
28:01But I need to sit down and talk to him.
28:03I feel like I wanted to do this because I feel like since you've been grown, we have not hung out.
28:09And 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.
28:23Crazy to me.
28:26I was talking to my friend Labrina, and she was basically saying, like, my heart goes out to him.
28:31Because you basically haven't shown him any love.
28:35Like, 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, but not tapping into what's going on around you as far as, like, my kids.
28:49You know?
28:50And that's true.
28:51And I feel like sometimes I get angry because I'm thinking, like, my son's supposed to take care of me.
28:58You know?
28:59Or he's supposed to be there for me.
29:01I don't like the relationship we have.
29:03It's not the same no more.
29:04That's why I didn't want your little sisters here.
29:06I feel like I made you a caretaker.
29:09You're not supposed to be a caretaker at 24?
29:12No.
29:13No, I'm their caretaker.
29:14Yeah.
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, it 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?
29:36Yeah.
29:37Trying to fill in the spot they know did.
29:39Yeah.
29:40And they love that because you're filling an empty space in our house for them.
29:45Yeah, because I feel like if I wasn't here, they'd be...
29:47I don't know where I would be without you.
29:49And I feel like you don't even realize how valuable you are to me.
29:54Where would I be without you?
29:56Where would the girls be?
29:58I'm working.
29:59I ain't got time to play games and do this, you know?
30:04And I feel like I forgot you.
30:11I 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.
30:19I feel horrible.
30:20I feel like a bad mom.
30:22Like, how could I do this to this boy?
30:25Like, I forgot about him.
30:28That's not fair.
30:31That's hurtful.
30:33How could I, as a mom, do that to him?
30:40Coming up, y'all were 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 me calling you 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.
30:58And 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.
31:13Yeah.
31:14As far as my mental health, you know?
31:16Yeah.
31:17So you feel like you went through some mental health struggles?
31:19Like, you feel like you...
31:20Yeah.
31:21I did.
31:22I was depressed?
31:23Yeah, I was.
31:24But no, because now I was doing...
31:25Now I have to...
31:26I can't...
31:27Like, I be trying to tell you, I can't go to the studio.
31:30Because I was thinking about, like, man, what would no one need to do right now?
31:34You know?
31:35And I was like, man, I can't even, like, process everything.
31:38And I'm so sorry for that.
31:39That really breaks my heart.
31:42I feel like I gotta make some changes.
31:44Yeah.
31:45But I want you to know that the stuff with the guy that I'm dating, right?
31:49Yeah.
31:50There is nobody in this world that I would put before you and your sisters.
31:56Mm-hmm.
31:57Okay?
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 you to pursue your dreams, whatever it may be.
32:09You 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.
32:17What 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 going to work.
32:23Because I know...
32:24Okay.
32:25What are we going to do in the next year?
32:26To make this happen?
32:27Drop some music.
32:28That's all I need to do.
32:29I need to put some music out and videos.
32:32Life is all about transitions.
32:34Life 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.
32:43I know you want me to go to school and do that.
32:46But honestly, I'm not trying to be a doctor, a nurse, or a lawyer.
32:50I 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.
33:02Yeah, 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.
33:08I'm going to the studio tomorrow, so that's a start.
33:11Okay.
33:12That's a start?
33:13Yeah.
33:14Well, I want you to stay focused.
33:15If you need something, if you need me to invest in your dreams, whatever you need, like, I got you.
33:20My conversation with Nico is probably what I needed right now in life.
33:26It's the best thing that has happened to me.
33:28I feel so uplifted.
33:30I feel like light now.
33:33I was so heavy before having this conversation.
33:36And I just feel good.
33:38I love you, Nico.
33:39I love you so much.
33:41And I appreciate you.
33:42And I just want you to know that.
33:44Give me a hug.
33:45I love you so much.
33:49I love you so much.
33:51People spend way too much time on the wrong things.
33:54Well, I've been living in my prime going my way.
33:57If they want a new goal, I want my big break.
34:00Is there a black hole like the big one?
34:04I don't do fights.
34:07I don't do public altercations.
34:09I'm a woman of class, believe it or not.
34:14But I am.
34:15And I was very taken aback by Shaniqua's behavior.
34:20Hello, ma'am.
34:21Yeah.
34:22Oh, she look cute.
34:23You look so cute.
34:24We kind of went with the same vibe.
34:25Look at us.
34:26How are you?
34:27However, I'm a believer in second chances.
34:29So I felt like bringing Shaniqua around one more time just to give her another chance would
34:35be good.
34:36Shaniqua, what 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?
34:48Yeah.
34:49I'm not trying to be mean, but like the fact that you keep popping up in like our like 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 was coming, Shanelle.
34:57Uh-oh.
34:58Well, excuse me.
34:59That's fair.
35:00In Ro's defense, Ro's energy is always very standoffish.
35:02She just, that's just her.
35:03That's her.
35:04Demeer.
35:05Okay.
35:06Her mind is always somewhere else.
35:07So she just be like, whatever, you know.
35:08Okay.
35:11She's a very sweet and loving person.
35:13Absolutely.
35:14Like, and she gonna go to war for her friends, as you can see.
35:16Absolutely.
35:17I'm not used to giving people a second, third, fourth chance.
35:19It'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, how are you?
35:33I'm kinda nervous because...
35:34You gonna hug me?
35:35You remember Shaniqua, huh?
35:37Yes.
35:38What if you do it again?
35:39I'm not gonna say I'm about to be New World 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.
35:45So I'm pretty apprehensive about how this is gonna play out.
35:48We were just kinda catching up and talking about what happened at Mocha.
35:51So when did it take a turn for the worse?
35:53When I blurted out...
35:55Pulled your paperwork out.
35:56Yes.
35:57The paperwork has nothing to do with Ro.
35:58Like, I don't know Ro.
36:00I haven't had interactions in the past with Ro.
36:02So the paperwork was for Latoria.
36:04Right.
36:05But when Ro responded, I guess, to the paperwork, that...
36:08I think that's kinda when it took a turn because it was, oh, that's, you know, that's weird or...
36:14Ro mentioned, like, why did you bring...
36:16You're a weirdo.
36:17Why would you bring that?
36:18And I think that just escalated.
36:19That was weird.
36:20You know, name calling and all the things.
36:22She probably should be called a 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, well, what the hell am I here for?
36:29Like, if we're not gonna be grown up about this and have this conversation, then what am I sitting in this seat for?
36:34I'm here to maybe have a conversation.
36:37Let's move forward from it in this moment.
36:39And you're still standing at 10 on what you did wrong.
36:41That was...
36:42Y'all were very mean to each other.
36:43Well, it's not our best moment, Ro.
36:47Are we gonna live to see maybe one more?
36:58Well, it's not our best moment, Ro.
37:01Are we gonna live to see maybe one more?
37:05When I made that comment, it wasn't shade to you.
37:07It was just, like, in general, because Latoya is softer, like, out of the group of girls, right?
37:11Southern Bill.
37:12And I almost felt like you were, like, bullying her.
37:13Really?
37:14Like, my child got bullied at school.
37:16Of course.
37:17Like, when I was growing up, I probably was the person that bullied the bullies.
37:19But I didn't like it, so I used to say something to them.
37:21So, like, that type of stuff bothers me, too.
37:23And I feel like, in that moment, you were bullying her.
37:25So, I don't want to cut you off, Ro, because, number one, I respect you.
37:28I want to hear you out.
37:29Thank you so much for sharing.
37:31And I'll share with both of y'all that bullying is something that I have gone through, like, for real.
37:38And 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, how they treat me, you know, maybe snub me certain comments and 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.
38:02I don't know why it's scary.
38:03You feel like she would do it again?
38:04Yes.
38:05I 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 just...
38:15You name it.
38:16It didn't happen to me.
38:17I didn't set up.
38:18I done all kind of been robbed.
38:19I done all kind of stuff happened to me in my life.
38:20And...
38:21So, you have a...
38:22It's a level of trust that's missing.
38:23Yeah.
38:24I'm just guarded as far as when it comes to, like, friendships because I'm so used to people
38:28on 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
38:40by people that I love.
38:41Yeah.
38:42Fair.
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, but that's just
38:46how I am.
38:47Yeah.
38:48Yeah.
38:49So, it's like, it's a gift and a curse over here, girl.
38:50Do you feel like you're guarded too?
38:52Well, I do think because of trying to protect myself, having a shell, having a layer, you know,
38:56because of being bullied, it's traumatizing.
38:58You know, when you think girls are your friends or, you know, and again, being six foot tall
39:03and super skinny, olive oil, and being made fun of.
39:09And then also, you know.
39:10Y'all actually have similar stories.
39:11Very similar because, you know, kind of the flip side of what Ro was sharing is, like,
39:16ultimately 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
39:28who she was outside of what she initially showed me.
39:31It just made me kind of be like, okay, well, we all been through stuff and we all made mistakes.
39:35I 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, and I did.
39:43I 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 to move forward and reconcile this.
40:00And granted, now I'm having more of an understanding of who she is,
40:03but just in this moment with us apologizing and us getting, you know, moving forward from this situation
40:08doesn't mean that we can be best friends now.
40:10What I know going forward is that there's a mutual respect, and that's enough for me.
40:14I think there's a mutual respect.
40:15I'm not disrespectful.
40:16I haven't talked about you already, though, since the day's over.
40:18You probably talked about me, too.
40:19I was like, you know.
40:20Yeah.
40:21We gonna break us out right now.
40:22This is the end of it right now.
40:23And I appreciate that.
40:24So, I'm a believer in second chances.
40:26Yeah.
40:27Ro, not so much.
40:29I'm not.
40:30I'm still learning how to just navigate with who I am compared to who I used to be.
40:37And the old me, I would have never sat down and had that conversation.
40:41It makes me be proud of myself.
40:42It's just showing me that I've grown as a person.
40:45Y'all want to get a drink?
40:46I ain't drinking today.
40:47Why?
40:48I don't feel like drinking.
40:50All right, well, we'll go get you a juice.
40:52We need a cocktail.
40:53Next 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 do you feel about me, uh, dating?
41:13Hmm?
41:14I ain't went on over here yet.
41:16Are you ready for a baby right now?
41:18What is that?
41:21Oh, gorgeous.
