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 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.
00:29No problem.
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?
00:40Two months.
00:41Uh-uh!
00:42That's what you got called, boy!
00:44Let's shut it!
00:45Latoya!
00:46How are you?
00:47How are you?
00:48So good to see you.
00:50I'm thinking, where do we know each other from?
00:53What I do wanna do is bring out every seat.
00:56What 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 started with this 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.
01:30Please.
01:31Big boss.
01:32All that.
01:33Right here.
01:34All day.
01:35Every day.
01:36You talking about me.
01:37You talking about me.
01:38You talking about me.
01:39While 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.
01:46Please.
01:47I can talk loud or soft and I'm still getting my point across.
01:49It don't matter.
01:50So, you guys can continue to minimize it with 2014 and 2015.
01:52Y'all not minimized 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.
02:01As you should be.
02:02Y'all stop.
02:03Y'all please.
02:04This too much.
02:05Oh, my God.
02:06Oh, my God.
02:07You caught up, bitch.
02:09Y'all trippin'.
02:11This a lot.
02:12Y'all, why did I invite Shaniqua to ladies night?
02:15I thought she was going to come in shining bright, smiling, and having a good time and
02:19she just ruined the night.
02:21I don't do this in public.
02:23I'm embarrassed.
02:42Good friends and good times.
02:43I'm sun-kissed.
02:44I'm all right.
02:45In the days they used to grow behind the field.
02:57Hello.
02:58How 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'm 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.
03:26Let's start.
03:27Let's go.
03:28How are you doing?
03:29You so sexy.
03:31Now 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 offer like a lot of boss women doing boss things.
03:44And so I'm doing a dinner for women coming up this week.
03:47And 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.
04:05Okay.
04:06I 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.
04:25So they are history in the making.
04:27You're so sweet.
04:28Yeah.
04:29I love you.
04:31I'm excited to honor Elena.
04:34Elena 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.
04:57It's going to be a good time.
04:58I'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?
05:14Oh my god.
05:15Oh my god.
05:16Hey.
05:17After 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
05:3910 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 mess with my 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 with asking for your support.
06:14It 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.
06:39So 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.
06:51And I left.
06:52And she left.
06:53So 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.
07:04And I didn't react.
07:06True be told, I'm surprised Shaniqua didn't leave.
07:10And no, I don't want to say that.
07:12We not promote violence.
07:15On 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 handled that really well.
07:48I couldn't say nothing because I knew I couldn't say anything.
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.
08:09Where you doing?
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, so that's how they wanted to, yeah.
08:29So I was like, okay, I'll definitely do that.
08:32Your curl's already down.
08:33Yeah, you hear me, baby?
08:34Yeah, let your hair down.
08:35That's good.
08:36Give 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.
08:45All right.
08:46Hi.
08:49OK.
08:50OK.
09:02How was track practice?
09:03Good.
09:03Good.
09:04Around 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.
09:16What's that?
09:17Who is that, Bricky?
09:19It's Mimi.
09:20Let's go see it.
09:21Come on.
09:23Hi.
09:24Hey, Landon.
09:25How you doing?
09:27Good to see you.
09:29I love my mom.
09:30She is the grandma that is the it grandma.
09:34She's called Mimi.
09:36You know, we don't call her grandma.
09:38What you up to?
09:40Hi, Mimi.
09:41Oh.
09:42Yes.
09:43Hi, Laina.
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
09:53and having to be perfect.
09:55I do feel like that spills into my adulthood,
09:58and it's a lot of pressure.
10:01You want anything to drink, eat?
10:03Um, yes.
10:06What do you have?
10:07Juice, coffee.
10:09You want some tea?
10:10Probably just water, really.
10:12Just water?
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,
10:22and she was like, are 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.
10:48First things first.
10:50With my new studio, I'm excited about that.
10:52I can't wait to see you.
10:53The makeup lounge.
10:54I 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
11:04with making up Beyoncé.
11:07So 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 now?
11:17Probably not.
11:18No.
11:19Yeah, we got to get Beyoncé in there.
11:20That's for sure.
11:23Coming up, I realized there is some resentment
11:26in my relationship with Josh.
11:28You can handle a lot of things.
11:29All right, but 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?
11:42I've been journaling a lot lately.
11:47Oh, really?
11:48And 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? 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 to bed on time.
13:34Mm-hmm.
13:35On the weekends, it's working. It'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, but 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 rooms.
13:55But 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. Y'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, you don't want to.
14:22I do want to.
14:23No, you don't.
14:25You are always busy.
14:26But you 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.
14:50That sounds like a plan.
14:51Well, I love you.
14:52Oh, and that's what we need to start doing, too.
14:54Saying I love you at all.
14:55Well, I love you.
14:56Okay.
15:15Okay.
15:17So, I decided to partner with my big brother, attorney Rodney Jones, to do an event for women.
15:27To celebrate women.
15:29To let them know their greatness.
15:32Back over there.
15:33Welcome.
15:34Can you please?
15:35Hey, Veronica.
15:36How are you?
15:37I'm very close.
15:39These women have done tremendous things in the community, in their industries.
15:44So, they are certified women.
15:50Okay.
15:51They are history in the making.
15:53How are you?
15:54Oh, you look pretty.
15:55Beautiful.
15:56You, too.
15:57I love them, honey.
15:58Wait a minute.
15:59Oh, damn.
16:00How are you?
16:01Oh, this is a cute restaurant.
16:02Oh, hey.
16:03Hello, ma'am.
16:04Look at us, pink and green.
16:06I'm your wife.
16:07Oh, yes.
16:10This place is so cute.
16:11Have y'all been here before?
16:12Hello.
16:13Hey.
16:15All right, ladies.
16:16Hear ye.
16:17Hear ye.
16:18As Rodney and I were thinking about this event, we came up with the idea of trailblazers for
16:26this year.
16:27All right, ladies.
16:28Hear ye.
16:29Hear ye.
16:30As 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.
16:42So our first trailblazer for the year is Miss Roe.
16:47Come on up.
16:48Don'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.
17:01Thank you, y'all.
17:02Thank you, y'all.
17:03For Latoya to even think enough of me to even wanna honor me for the things that I do is,
17:07first 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
17:17actually did do something.
17:18While 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.
17:32Rodney'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 miss Sandy.
17:45Congratulations.
17:47Rachel.
17:48Rebecca Williams.
17:50Tony the Ref.
17:51Tony the Ref.
17:52Natalie, she 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 gonna play some music and we're gonna have us a good time and eat good.
18:15Y'all good?
18:19Hey, y'all.
18:20Hey, Latoya.
18:21Hey, Latoya.
18:22I came to sit in me, bro.
18:23You probably got some fun with us.
18:24I love this poison ivy look that you have going on.
18:26Oh, yeah.
18:27You know how it is.
18:28Did you get to eat something, Latoya?
18:29You've been moving around.
18:30No.
18:31You know when I work.
18:32I know.
18:33I be in a zone.
18:34It's been heavy on my heart with the situation about Shaniqua.
18:36I think she owes the people at that table an apology.
18:39I mean, she owes pathetic for printing out all those emails.
18:44The blank ink.
18:45She needs to apologize to them.
18:46The tree.
18:47That's Teemu 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 an apology and stick it up that wig she got.
19:06Maybe you should have a conversation with her.
19:08Yeah.
19:09Don't nobody else want to.
19:10You coming?
19:13Brown.
19:14So where you going?
19:15You had news two 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, start with Nico.
19:30Girl, 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 loved him so much.
19:38Do he know you love him so much?
19:40I don't know.
19:54You're so funny.
20:02Hello, Labrina.
20:03Hey, Winsor.
20:05Say hi, Colleen.
20:06Hi, Colleen.
20:07Oh, my gosh.
20:08Hey, girl.
20:09You look so cute.
20:10Girl, you feel such a soft light.
20:11I love that for you.
20:12Cute.
20:13I'll be there working the war zone and you out here pushing your baby in the swing, girl.
20:17I love it.
20:18Hey, Winsor.
20:19Let me get some of this so I can manifest this in 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.
20:29Mm-hmm.
20:30And the strain on my relationship with my mom happened when I really needed, like, specific answers and guidance.
20:43Right.
20:44Besides, well, you need to go get a job or you need to work harder.
20:48Yeah.
20:49You get out.
20:50When you said that, I'm just like, you know, is that how my son feel?
20:53You know?
20:54I just feel like Labrina's my person for what I'm experiencing right now.
20:58Girl, you can sit down.
21:00Get us some wine.
21:01Yes, baby.
21:02Get us some wine.
21:03Let's talk.
21:04I'm excited to meet with her and just see what advice she can give me because I'm lost and 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.
21:23He go with his dad Mondays and Tuesdays and, like, throughout the weekends.
21:27And I'm Wednesday, Thursday, Friday.
21:29So how is that working for you?
21:30Like...
21:31It doesn't work for me comfortably.
21:33His daddy was like, well, maybe he should come stay with me or did you suggest that?
21:37No.
21:38Pop did.
21:39Okay.
21:40Since Brennan has been splitting his time living with Will and I and living with his dad, there have been some not-so-great changes.
21:48So how was school, Pop?
21:50Mm-hmm.
21:51It don't seem like it's good.
21:53Your grades, Nick.
21:55You want to go to your dad's house? Cool.
21:57But you can't go there and then nosedive where you going backwards.
22:04Football is what you want to do, right?
22:07Yes.
22:08You still need to make good grades.
22:10You still need to be accountable.
22:12You 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.
22:26Because 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 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, like 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, 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.
23:03And 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 masters.
23:12And he literally sat in class with me throughout these times.
23:15We did everything together.
23:17You grew up with him and y'all literally went through life together, Chloe.
23:22Yeah.
23:23Y'all went through life together.
23:24And it's like, I just feel bad.
23:27I feel like I, I've forgotten about him along the way.
23:30Especially with all that we've been through.
23:32I kind of overlooked him.
23:34And that's horrible for me to say.
23:36But I would feel horrible too, as a mom.
23:38When no passed, Nico had to take on a lot of adult responsibilities that 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, and, and I went wrong there.
23:55I 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.
24:03So you can't even share that grievance moment with him.
24:07Cause you ain't checked in.
24:09I haven't.
24:10He going through it like you.
24:11Yeah.
24:12Maybe not to your extent.
24:13But 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 what I, how I'm feeling.
24:19I, you know?
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 and get into his head and just.
24:35Stop getting into his head.
24:36Don't worry about that.
24:38You deposit mama love.
24:40I think if Chloe focused on the emotional needs and desires of her children.
24:47She can mend things with Nico easily.
24:50She'll see a drastic change in life, which is all the dominoes will fall into place.
24:55He have his plan, you know?
24:57And he don't have a plan B, plan C. He has a plan A and he wants to stick to it.
25:02So it's like, I want to support it.
25:04But I'm like, I feel like we're so distanced because that's not what I want for him to be,
25:08you know, doing music, rapping.
25:11I think you need to remove yourself and just give him love.
25:16It'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.
25:23My heart just goes out to him because you not going through what I'm going through
25:28in terms of like this whole splitting thing and all of this stuff.
25:33And it makes me so emotional because I don't want to do what I'm doing right now.
25:38Yeah.
25:39And you have your son to like truly like tell him how much you love him.
25:44Yeah.
25:45And he's still here.
25:46I just messed up with Jordan and all that about how he somebody he found out that I was dating somebody younger.
25:53And he don't feel like it's right.
25:56And that's the problem for me.
25:58You know, I feel like this created a lot of issues in our household.
26:03Then take a step back.
26:04From Jordan?
26:05Yeah.
26:06Your kids are the priority for you.
26:09The way that you say they are.
26:11Then you put your energy in that.
26:14So?
26:15Let me go 24.
26:16Yeah.
26:17The time is running from us.
26:20It is.
26:21You 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 realized I really need to love on my son.
26:32And I need to put him first.
26:34And 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.
26:53But I don't know when the last time I told him I loved him.
26:56Hmm.
26:58I don't know.
26:59Like, I feel, I 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.
27:23TikTok, life goes on.
27:26Sun comes down, turn the music on.
27:29I used to fear, counting you.
27:32Now I see it's so clear.
27:39Hello.
27:40Hola.
27:41I'll do a glass of the Cabernet.
27:42OK.
27:43Which one you want?
27:44You know, I don't.
27:45You don't drink?
27:46Nah.
27:47We never had a drink together.
27:48Get you a glass of champagne.
27:49My 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.
28:02But I need to sit down and talk to him.
28:04I feel like 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 it.
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, but 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 because I'm thinking, like, my son is supposed to take care of me.
28:59You know, he's 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.
29:10You'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.
29:34Yeah.
29:35And I appreciate that.
29:36That's what I was doing, you know?
29:37Yeah.
29:38Trying to fill in the spot they know there.
29:40Yeah.
29:41And they love that because you fill in an empty space in our house.
29:45Yeah.
29:46I 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.
30:12I don't know.
30:13I was just thinking, like, damn, I really haven't, like, tapped into you.
30:18And I want to apologize for that.
30:21I feel horrible.
30:22I feel like a bad mom.
30:24Like, how could I do this to this boy?
30:26Like, I forgot about him.
30:30That's not fair.
30:32That's hurtful.
30:34How could I, as a mom, do that to him?
30:36I don't know.
30:41Coming up, y'all are very mean to each other.
30:43It's not our best moment, bro.
30:44Are we gonna live to see maybe one more?
30:47Yeah, but me calling you a weirdo and you calling me a bitch with two different things.
30:54I was just thinking, like, damn, I really haven't, like, tapped into you.
30:59And I want to apologize for that.
31:02Um.
31:05I do.
31:07I want to apologize to you.
31:09Well, things are not how I want it to be.
31:12But 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...
31:21Yeah.
31:22I did.
31:23Was depressed?
31:24Yeah, I was.
31:25But no, because now I was doing, now I have to, I can't, like, I be trying to tell you,
31:29I can't go to the studio.
31:31Because 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.
31:39And I'm so sorry for that.
31:40That 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.
31:57Mm-hmm.
31:58Okay?
31:59That'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 going to work.
32:23Because I know.
32:24Okay.
32:25What are we going to do in the next year?
32:26Next year?
32:27To make this happen.
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,
32:43all 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
32:57your journey.
32:58But it's not mine.
32:59And I have to realize that it's because I'm your mama.
33:01I'm hard.
33:02I'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.
33:12Okay.
33:13That's a start?
33:14Yeah.
33:15Well, I want you to stay focused.
33:16If you need something, if you need me to invest in your dreams, whatever you need,
33:20I got you.
33:21My conversation with Nico is probably what I needed right now in life.
33:27It'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.
33:38I love you, Nico.
33:39I love you, too.
33:40And I appreciate you, and I just want you to know that.
33:44Yeah.
33:45I love you so much.
33:47People spend way too much time on the wrong things.
33:49Well, I've been living in my prime going my way.
33:50I want a no-go.
33:51I want my big break.
33:52Is there a black hole like the people?
33:54I don't do fights.
33:55I don't do public altercations.
33:56I'm a woman of class.
33:57Believe it or not.
33:58But I am.
33:59And I was very taken aback by Shaniqua's behavior.
34:03Hello, ma'am.
34:04Oh, she looks cute.
34:05You look cute.
34:06We kind of went with the same vibe.
34:08Look at us.
34:09How are you?
34:10However, I'm a believer in second chances.
34:12So I felt like bringing Shaniqua around one more time just to give her another chance would
34:19be good.
34:20Shaniqua.
34:21What happened?
34:22You know, I was in my class.
34:23I'm in my class.
34:24Believe it or not.
34:25But I am.
34:26And I was very taken aback by Shaniqua's behavior.
34:28Hello, ma'am.
34:29Oh, she looks cute.
34:30You look cute.
34:31We kind of went with the same vibe.
34:32Look at us.
34:33How are you?
34:34However, I'm a believer in second chances.
34:36So I felt like bringing Shaniqua around one more time just to give her another chance would
34:40be good.
34:41Shaniqua.
34:42Ro's energy was disturbed from the time I walked in the door.
34:47Hello.
34:48How are we doing today?
34:49Hey!
34:50I'm not trying to be mean, but like the fact that you keep popping up in like our like
34:53friend group situations, I'm confused.
34:55I don't know about a pop-up.
34:56It is a pop-up because we know you were coming to now.
34:58Uh-oh.
34:59Well, excuse me.
35:00That's fair.
35:01In 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.
35:07So she just be like, whatever, you know.
35:08Okay.
35:09She's a very sweet and loving person.
35:10Absolutely.
35:11And she gonna go to war for her friends, as you can see.
35:12Absolutely.
35:13I'm not used to giving people a second, third, fourth chance.
35:14It'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, I can't always do the things
35:28I always did in the past, right?
35:29Hey, ma'am.
35:30Hello.
35:31Hey.
35:32Hello, how are you?
35:33I'm kind of nervous because you're gonna hug me.
35:36You remember Shaniqua, huh?
35:37Yes.
35:38What if you do it again?
35:40I'm not gonna say I'm about to be new Ro again if you put your hands in my face and
35:43call me a bitch again in my face.
35:44I 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.
36:06But when Ro responded, I guess, to the paperwork, I think that's kind of when it took a turn
36:11because it was, oh, that's, you know, that's weird or...
36:15Ro mentioned, like, why did you bring...
36:17You're a weirdo.
36:18Why would you bring that?
36:19And I think that just escalated.
36:20That was weird.
36:21You know, name calling and all the things.
36:23Yeah, but me calling you a weirdo and you calling me a bitch, it's two different things.
36:27In my head, I'm like, well, 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 it in 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.
36:48Are we going to live to see maybe one more?
36:50When I made that comment, it wasn't shade to you.
36:51It was just, like, in general.
36:52Because Latoya is softer, like, out of the group of girls, right?
36:55Southern Bill.
36:56And I almost felt like you were, like, bullying her.
36:57Really?
36:58Yeah.
36:59Like, my child got bullied at school.
37:00Of course.
37:01Like, when I was growing up, I probably was the person to bully the bullies.
37:02But I didn't like it, so I used to say something to them.
37:03So, like, that type of stuff bothers me, too.
37:04And I feel like in that moment, you were bullying her.
37:05So, I don't want to cut you off, Ro, because, number one, I respect you.
37:07I want to hear you out.
37:08Thank you so much for sharing.
37:09And I feel like you're going to live to see maybe one more.
37:10And I just said, I was going to live to see maybe one more.
37:11When I made that comment, it wasn't shade to you.
37:12It was just, like, in general.
37:13Because Latoya is softer, like, out of the group of girls, right?
37:14Southern Bill.
37:15And I almost felt like you were, like, bullying her.
37:16Really?
37:17Yeah.
37:18Like, my child got bullied at school.
37:19Of course.
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.
37:28I 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, 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.
37:47You 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?
37:57I 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.
38:02You 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...
38:14Just, you name it.
38:16It didn't happen to me.
38:17I didn't set up.
38:18I don't know how I've been robbed.
38:19I don't know how all kinds of stuff happened to me in my life.
38:21So, you have a...
38:21It's a level of trust that's missing.
38:23Yeah.
38:23I'm just guarded as far as when it comes to, like, friendships because I'm so used to people
38:27on me eventually.
38:30Or me, you know, going all out to be somebody's friend or doing it 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.
38:41Fair.
38:42So, that's just how I am.
38:43And I know it ain't always, like, the best thing, the best way to be, but that's just how I am.
38:47Yeah.
38:47Yeah.
38:47So, it's like, it's a gift and a curse over your 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
38:56know, because of being bullied, it's traumatizing.
38:59You know, when you think girls are your friends or, you know, and again, being six foot tall
39:04and super skinny, olive oil, and being made fun of.
39:09And then also, you know.
39:10Y'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.
39:25Hearing 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.
39:35I 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.
39:43And I did, I would like to just apologize and say, you don't have to worry about that
39:47happening again.
39:49So, girl, you're going to 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
40:08from this situation doesn't mean that we can be best friends now.
40:11What 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.
40:16And I haven't talked about you already, though, since the days of it.
40:18You probably talked about me, too.
40:19I was like, you know, if we're going to break us out right now, I'll just end up right now.
40:23And I appreciate that.
40:25So, I'm a believer in second chances.
40:28Ro, not so much.
40:30I'm not.
40:30But I'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.
40:42It 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?
40:46I ain't drinking today.
40:48Why?
40:49I don't feel like drinking.
40:51All right, well, we'll go get you a juice.
40:54We 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?
41:14Hmm?
41:15I ain't went on over here yet.
41:16Are you ready for a baby right now?
41:18I want to say.
41:22Oh, gorgeous.
41:23Oh, beautiful.
41:26Oh, well, oh, well, oh, well, beautiful.
41:27Oh, well, oh, well, beautiful.
41:51Oh, well.
