00:00In Jackson, Mississippi Power, Ambition, and Sisterhood Collide, this is Bell Collective.
00:07Previously on Bell Collective.
00:09Glenn, I'm so sorry that I didn't make my moment about child asses.
00:14I'm so sorry that I want to elevate.
00:17The only thing I'm asking you to do is be my husband.
00:20I'm so stunned to hear Tisha talk this way.
00:22I feel like Tisha and I, we're not on the same page.
00:26Shantae brought her own information to me.
00:31That Devon and I were not together.
00:34That we decided to have a baby together as friends.
00:38If you irrelevant, if you outside of the collective, we are a group.
00:42Any outside noise, it shouldn't be there.
00:44I believe Shantae is the biggest outside noise.
00:48It's not like it's another woman, it's a baby.
00:50Right.
00:51Because I want to know how I got in the group.
00:54Especially now while I'm planning a wedding.
00:56Once again, anything that comes out, let's talk about it.
01:00And stop outside people from coming into the collective.
01:15I'm going to make some tea.
01:22Did you see the honey?
01:25I did buy more.
01:26I do have it.
01:28I made Dad's tea a little different though.
01:31Because I don't want it to interfere with his medication or anything.
01:38Dad, you want to walk to the back?
01:41Okay.
01:42You got him?
01:42Mm-hmm.
01:44Take your time.
01:45Despite all the drama that is going on in the collective, I have to stay focused on my family.
01:53And I've been staying with my parents to help my mom with my dad.
01:59My family is my priority right now.
02:03He's sleepy.
02:04Initially, they thought my dad had a stroke.
02:08But to this day, do we have a clear understanding of what happened that day?
02:16We do not.
02:17I'm going to go on a day.
02:18You want to come in here?
02:19That will be good.
02:20But we can definitely see signs of dementia.
02:26And the hard part is my dad can see it too.
02:44Hey!
02:46Listen!
02:49Hey, hey!
02:50Tamara has been going through a lot.
02:52I'm going to check on my girl and see where her headspace is.
02:55After all that drama that happened at the focus group,
02:58I want Tamara to definitely know that she has my support throughout anything.
03:02How's everything going with Dad?
03:04He's doing better than what he was.
03:06When it happened, like, I'm talking about literally me and Selena and they're boo-hoo crying,
03:09like, hold on, we got to be strong for Tamara.
03:12Oh, my God, don't tell me that.
03:14What happened?
03:17Oh, I found my daddy.
03:18Think he had a stroke.
03:19I do appreciate you.
03:20Girl, we need to catch up.
03:22Can we talk about the Dr. Juice Clan rumors?
03:25That's crazy to me.
03:26I laughed about it because I thought it was so ridiculous.
03:29Because I'm like, you are reaching for me.
03:30No, no, no.
03:31I've never heard that.
03:33Chante said that you got a whole boyfriend.
03:35Where did you even get that from?
03:37The information was brought to me saying that, you know, her and Damana are not together.
03:41They're basically two friends that decided that they want to have a baby.
03:44What?
03:45This is somebody that they have never lied to me.
03:48But they lied to you that's fine, girl.
03:50This is who you're calling your best friend?
03:52Girl.
03:52And now I can honestly say when it comes to your best friend, Letitia, every time I see
03:58her now, I feel like she's coming with some mess.
04:02Yes.
04:02That let me know.
04:04Yeah, Letitia, you do not know me.
04:06I don't know.
04:07Do I need to invite everybody and just do a whole reintroduction since they act like
04:09they don't know me?
04:10Do we need to do that?
04:11You're my one.
04:12Are we to this point?
04:13I think it's to the point.
04:14Yeah, I don't want to have to do that.
04:17Based off of this latest rumor, it is obvious some of these ladies do not know me.
04:24Maybe I need to reintroduce myself because it seems like everyone is digging.
04:29Let me go ahead and give them a shovel.
04:31I'm still trying to get myself together, honey.
04:33I still have a lot going on.
04:35Like, I have to have fibroid surgery, like, in two weeks.
04:38Really?
04:39Yes, girl.
04:39They came back?
04:41Yes, I have to go back under the knife.
04:42I told you that sometimes they do come back.
04:44They do.
04:45And it makes you feel any better.
04:47I went through three of those surgeries.
04:48That is insane.
04:49So they can come back.
04:51It's a lot.
04:51And my doctor actually did ask me, like, do you want a hysterectomy?
04:55I'm like, no.
04:56No, don't do that.
04:56Because, you know, because I do want, eventually, a baby somewhere.
05:00Yeah.
05:01Somewhere in this life.
05:02Make sure you are an advocate for yourself and you make sure you are telling them that
05:06you would like to preserve your uterus because you do want kids.
05:10You make that very known.
05:11You will get through it and you will be healthy.
05:14Tamara's knowledge of fibroid surgery definitely eases my nerves.
05:19And I just appreciate her being by my side because it means a lot.
05:22I am counting the days down to my fibroid surgery so that I can finally move forward and get
05:28back to my life.
05:29Pace blowing you up.
05:31Girl, they done blew my phone for Smith or Green.
05:47I got a surprise for you.
05:52I just wanted to celebrate you a little bit.
05:55Oh.
05:55I don't think nothing wrong with that.
05:56I like being celebrated.
05:58Yes, you should.
05:59Hi.
05:59Welcome to the Soul Spa.
06:01Hey, how you doing?
06:02You made reservations?
06:03Okay.
06:03I have you checked in.
06:05You guys can follow me.
06:05All right, thank you.
06:07Tonight, I'm surprising my wife with a massage because she's been stressing.
06:11I'm so sorry for wanting to become what God wants me to be.
06:15I don't know what else you want from me.
06:16All the things I've asked you to do is be my husband.
06:20I'm not sure what's going on with her, but I'm just trying to show up as a good husband.
06:23I'm trying to make sure that she knows that I do truly love her, and I want her to be
06:28happy, so hopefully this is moving in the right direction.
06:31Okay, Glenn.
06:33This is nice.
06:34Are you surprised?
06:35I am surprised.
06:37Ooh.
06:38I like the sound of that.
06:39Ooh.
06:40Hmm.
06:40Things have definitely been rough between me and Glenn, especially since things got heated
06:46at the dinner, but I can really appreciate his effort of planning this spa date.
06:52It's a good time.
06:53Oh, good time.
06:54I like that.
06:55Better days ahead, right?
06:56I like that.
06:57However, I am a little anxious to see where his head is.
07:01Speaking of better days ahead, Carrie has been asking us for, like, this double date for
07:07months, so, you know, I got to get with her just to see when we can make it happen.
07:12Even though things are chaotic within the collective and we have rumors swirling around,
07:19I'm really hoping to just step away from all the drama within the collective and have
07:23a double date with Carrie and Matt.
07:26How did your focus group thing go?
07:27It went great.
07:29Alani Love came on the project on the screen, so she said I had, like, the perfect tone,
07:35personality, energy.
07:36I agree.
07:36You know how to get people to feel comfortable with you, to have conversations, so I see
07:43a bright, bright future for you in this.
07:45Oh, thank you, Glenn.
07:46I appreciate that.
07:47After the focus group and I let everybody leave, Selena raised a concern about who initiated
07:56or who spoke about Mike having a baby within the collective.
08:00I felt like she was trying to blame me for not, I guess, for not telling her.
08:07I mean, I had posted a picture on my IG, right?
08:10I saw the picture on your IG.
08:12And I talked to Mike, you know what I'm saying?
08:15And Mike was like, hell no.
08:16So we all left it off, blew it off.
08:18So I don't believe it, man.
08:19Like, people would say anything.
08:21I mean, they're about to get married.
08:23You know, we've gone down there.
08:24I won't wish that on nobody.
08:26I know how it feels to have false accusations against your man.
08:29And I'm really hoping and I believe that it's nothing to this baby rumor.
08:33So, quick question.
08:35Was first at your focus group?
08:39No.
08:39No?
08:40You know, I did put him on a leave of absence because I want to.
08:45So what do you want me to do?
08:48Fire him.
08:50As a matter of fact, I think you should fire him and hire me as your manager.
09:00Glenn.
09:00What's funny?
09:01I manage you.
09:03You don't even check your own emails.
09:06That's besides the point.
09:07I had you go to hand.
09:08What does that look like, managing me?
09:10You don't think I will have your best interest at heart?
09:12Let me ask you this.
09:13What does a manager do?
09:16A manager managed their talent.
09:23I should be Letitia's manager because I'll make a great manager.
09:27I feel like it's good to be marriage and business partners when the only time you can see your partner
09:33is when you're doing business.
09:35I think it's a win-win.
09:36I just don't think that's a good idea.
09:38Like, real talk.
09:39I just don't feel like that's a good idea.
09:40That's not going to happen, Glenn.
09:44Every time I try to be nice to you, you come with some f***ing f***ing.
09:48Every time.
09:49That's not, no.
09:49Every time.
09:51Look around.
09:53And this is nice and I'm going to need it after you just put that on me.
09:56And you're not even allowing me to prove to you that I'm capable of doing it.
09:59I know you're not.
10:02There are so many other things that Glenn should be thinking about other than managing me.
10:06Where is the massage therapist?
10:08Did she get lost?
10:09Did she go home?
10:10Where are y'all?
10:11Because, honey, right now I need a massage.
10:13This is too much.
10:22Coming up on Bell Collective.
10:24I think that Keri got spooked into submission.
10:28The worst thing you can do in this collective is try to show loyalty by telling a lie.
10:33I'm the best bowler for sure.
10:35Matt thinks that he's about to walk away with another win.
10:37He got a whole other thing coming.
10:43My dog got caught in the hole.
10:44I know somebody right now that's dating a man and a woman.
10:49What I will share is this.
10:51When I was 18 years old, I had a threesome.
10:55She went down there on me.
10:57Live your truth, Marie.
10:58Absolutely.
10:59Absolutely.
11:02Who's that walking around on the talk of the town that look like money?
11:05Like money?
11:06Who's that walking around on the talk of the town that look like what?
11:10Like who?
11:10Who's that walking around on the talk of the town that look like what?
11:13Hi, how are you?
11:14How many of you, ma'am?
11:16It's going to be two.
11:17I'm meeting up with Letitia today because at the focus group, I didn't get any answers.
11:23And I just need to get a lot off my chest.
11:26I'm the chef and the kids that let me cook a little bit.
11:28None of y'all mess with my fresh and my flight.
11:31I'm going to switch it up anytime I see you try.
11:33And my DM's waiting on the replies.
11:37Hi, pretty girl.
11:38Fabulous.
11:39So you can say, seated.
11:41How you doing?
11:42Hey, I'm meeting Selena for lunch today to follow up after the focus group and to talk
11:49about all this baby drama.
11:51I'm still confused.
11:52I'm scratching my head.
11:53Like, why am I in this?
11:55So what's going on with the wedding?
11:57Girl, I am like stressed out to the mix.
12:01My bridal party don't have anything together when it comes to my bachelorette party.
12:06I mean, trying to deal with now women.
12:08What?
12:09It's just been driving me insane.
12:11Yo, Maida, Anna should be handling that.
12:13You got other important things to worry about.
12:16Selena is telling me about all this drama going on with her bridal party, how they can't finalize nothing.
12:23Selena has chosen who she would like to be in her bridal party.
12:27My bridal party is here, scattered throughout.
12:30It's him.
12:34And the goddess herself, Latrice.
12:41I just hope and pray that everything will work out for her.
12:44Mike is taking me out the country to Colombia.
12:47When?
12:48Girl, he told me I'll get my teeth done.
12:50I'm like, my teeth.
12:51Girl, Ashley, my manager just got hurt.
12:53Really?
12:53They are so pretty.
12:55He was like, on our wedding day, I just want you to have just, I just want you to just
12:58have the most beautiful smile on your face.
13:00So I'm like, okay.
13:01I want to go to Colombia to get a weight.
13:04So we're going to make it a little vacay and get my teeth done at the same time.
13:08Four of my teeth, they are flipped.
13:11So I'm getting done porcelain veneers for a good, reasonable price.
13:17So I'm excited.
13:18You should be.
13:19I am.
13:20And that's why, I mean, not to even bring that up, but Selena, that's why I didn't see anything back
13:26with that message.
13:27I wasn't going to bring no mess like that to you.
13:29But I wanted you to bring it to me.
13:31You knew about this when I came to you about Mike and I communication problem.
13:37And why you didn't say anything to me then?
13:40Because I don't have any concrete evidence.
13:44If I had it and it came to me, I'd have been like, Mike, let's have this conversation.
13:49When Keri brought, you know, because Keri had been here for two seconds.
13:52Yeah.
13:53And Keri, it's like when Keri gets the information, she's just going to, something about an alien life.
13:58Yeah.
13:58Yes.
13:59Keri brought it to my attention.
14:00Then Marie said something about it.
14:03Then I'm like, why Latisha didn't say anything to me?
14:05I didn't see anything myself.
14:07Even if you didn't see anything, you still could have made me aware.
14:10So I'm sorry about that.
14:12So I'm moving forward.
14:13So let me ask you this.
14:14So how did you feel hearing that Keri got it from Matt and Matt got it from Cliff?
14:19Like, have you addressed that situation or is it just me?
14:22I'm the one that got to be held accountable.
14:23I told Mike to meet up with the guys.
14:26Mm-hmm.
14:26You handle the guys, I'm handling the ladies.
14:29I like that.
14:30I'm going to take care of the girls and try to figure out where this baby rumor came up at
14:34in the collective.
14:35And Mike is going to have a conversation with the guys once we come back from Columbia.
14:39We're supposed to be, what, standing on business.
14:41We're supposed to be transparent.
14:43But it don't seem like that's happening right now.
14:46Let me ask you this.
14:46I'm at the focus group.
14:48How did you feel like when, you know, Keri kind of like backpedaled?
14:52My husband went to Matt and was like, there's some boo-a-s*** Marie over there talking about.
14:57Man, that's a made-up story.
14:58I don't remember that part.
14:59I don't.
15:00Honestly, I don't.
15:01You said you found out it tastes or was it prior?
15:05I heard it from the guys.
15:07So, you know, I mean.
15:10Marie was saying she only whispered in your ear.
15:12You see what I'm saying?
15:13And Keri was saying she got it from Marie.
15:16But at the focus group, she said she got it from Matt.
15:19She did.
15:20She did say, she did say Matt.
15:22So I was kind of like, Marie was like.
15:22But I think Keri and Latrice, they met up and had a conversation.
15:27And I think Latrice was probably like.
15:29Don't play with me.
15:30Like, don't play with me.
15:31Don't play with my husband or whatever.
15:32So maybe that's the reason why.
15:34Yeah.
15:35I think that Keri got spooked into submission.
15:39And I asked, well, Keri, where did you get it from?
15:42She just had this long pause.
15:44And it was like her mind was thinking, do I stand on truth or do I try to fix the
15:48situation?
15:49Oh, yeah.
15:50I'm going to let Keri know the worst thing you can do in this collective is try to show loyalty
15:54by telling a lie.
15:56At this point, Keri is trying to switch things up to cover up her own ass instead of standing ten
16:03toes down in what she originally said.
16:06If Keri can't own what comes out of her own mouth, it really makes me question how trustworthy are you?
16:12You don't even believe yourself.
16:14And then get that off your teeth.
16:15You got something.
16:16Real sick.
16:17Uh-huh.
16:18Then I get it.
16:18Mm-mm, you're going to have to put, you're going to have to, see, I, what kind of lipstick is
16:23there?
16:23Girl, don't tell me, still.
16:24One, one, do one more little, you almost there.
16:27Almost there.
16:28You got it.
16:30I need some porcelain.
16:34Coming up on Bell Collective, I thought about introducing London Simone to the ladies.
16:39I don't want no bad energy around my baby.
16:41That was one of the reasons that some of the ladies have not met her.
16:44Man, these women, no.
16:46It's always.
16:47I ain't with the drama.
16:50I'm all here making commas.
16:52I ain't with the drama.
16:54I'm all here getting money, money, money.
16:56Ooh, watch, watch, watch the pot hole.
16:59Well, I'm not in drafts, I don't know how long.
17:01I'm just saying.
17:03Watch where you going.
17:05Demond and I are out this evening, and I am telling Demond everything that I have heard.
17:13All the rumors that I have heard.
17:16I don't want him to be blindsided by anything.
17:18Well, I can say today was actually a really good day for my dad, for sure.
17:23Really?
17:24Yes.
17:25Even London Simone, she was trying to show him where to go.
17:29London Simone, the baby home health nurse.
17:32When I was over there the other night, too, he went in the kitchen and he got an apple, and
17:37he sat it on the table.
17:39And she was on her iPad, and next thing you know, her mom went in the back of London, went
17:46over there and snatched the apple and get a plug out of her.
17:50And he started hollering.
17:53Listen, you have to watch her.
17:55Yep.
17:56Yes.
17:57So listen, I met with Leticia.
18:01While we were there, her friend, her name is Shantae.
18:05She tells me there's a rumor going around that you and I, we are not together.
18:11We just decided to have a child together.
18:13That I actually have had a boyfriend for years.
18:15Really?
18:16Yes.
18:16And I was like, what is his name?
18:18She was like, well, I have a picture.
18:20You're not going to believe it was on the picture.
18:22What?
18:23Dr. Juice Cleanse.
18:24The owner, Dr. Juice Cleanse.
18:26Malone.
18:27Yes.
18:29Like, where would you even get that from?
18:32Like, it's almost like you just pulled something from the sky.
18:34I mean, look, I know you.
18:36I trust you.
18:39And Malone, he's been a day one dude.
18:42Yeah.
18:43And one thing I did realize with these ladies, some of them really do not know me.
18:48So I think about having an event, invite the girls, and maybe help them understand who I am a little
18:54more.
18:55You saying them, and it ain't them.
18:57No, it's two people.
18:58It's really Leticia and Marie.
18:59That's it.
19:01I feel like it is definitely time to control my own narrative.
19:05So I have decided to host a really intimate sip and see.
19:12So some of the bells can really get to know who I am.
19:16And also, I thought about introducing London Simone to the ladies.
19:21I don't want no bad energy around my baby.
19:24And that was one of the reasons that some of the ladies have not met her.
19:31Cool with the guys, but man, these women, no.
19:35It's always some BS.
19:36It's always some BS.
19:51Hey, hey.
19:53Today, I am rolling up on Jay at the park.
19:56I have to stop by to see if you still have it.
19:58Hey, we're going to play a game of horse.
19:59Okay.
20:01Game on.
20:01Oh, I'm going first.
20:02Game on. Let's go.
20:05Oh, okay.
20:08Let's go.
20:09It feels so great to be in a very positive, great place with my son.
20:14Because in the past, we have had some ups and downs.
20:17My oldest, Jerez, he went to cussing me out.
20:21He ran up on me.
20:23And he took his fist and punched a hole through the wall by my head.
20:28I apologize because at the end of the day, you're my mother.
20:32You're my mom.
20:35Right now, we are in a very great place.
20:38Much better space.
20:40And I, you know, I'm proud of my son and how far he's come.
20:44I'm always down to have a son and a mom with her.
20:47You know how I am about family.
20:49Yeah.
20:49I value family.
20:50You know how Paw Paw is and Grandma was.
20:53Yeah.
20:53You know, family is.
20:54Real being on family.
20:55Family is everything.
20:57Jay and his oldest son, Carson, and his middle son, Zane, are residing with me.
21:03And so to be surrounded every day with my children and my grandkids, it gives me purpose having
21:09them in the house.
21:10So how are you since the last time we talked?
21:14How do you feel about the new office, the new building?
21:17Of course I'm excited, as always.
21:20Right.
21:20To be opening my ninth service location.
21:24I am beyond proud of myself.
21:26I'm so grateful.
21:27Myself, I've been thinking about doing, like, a little dispensary thing, and I wanted to
21:33get your input on that.
21:35Like, how would you feel about something like that?
21:38Well, let me just say, business is hard.
21:42It takes money.
21:43The type of business you want to start, a dispensary, where's the capital going to come
21:48from?
21:50And I understand.
21:50I'm not trying to shove my business down y'all throat.
21:54But it makes sense, too.
21:56If my mom have several multi-million dollar businesses, right, that are thriving, why
22:03not learn those businesses?
22:06So your inheritance in those companies, right?
22:11Right.
22:11You can take it and start another business.
22:15Anybody will be a fool not to take on the inheritance that you built.
22:20You know what I'm saying?
22:20So what can I do to help you accomplish your dream of opening up your own business?
22:28What you're doing now?
22:29Just keep standing on me, leading me, guide me in the right directions to be the best
22:34me as possible.
22:36And if anybody can do that, I know it's you.
22:39It means a lot to me to hear Jay creating his own legacy and not solely depending on my
22:46legacy.
22:47Well, it was good talking.
22:49Yeah.
22:50If you need anything, you know I'm around.
22:53Okay, you riding with me?
22:54Yeah, because I need one.
22:56I've been up here all day.
22:57I got dropped off.
22:58Okay, well, come on.
22:59Coming up on Felt Collective.
23:01You're the one who said Chanté to Tambra.
23:04Maybe that wasn't the best way to do it.
23:05Carrie, you don't tell me what to do.
23:07Let me tell you something.
23:08Had I not said anything, I'd be like, well, why you just didn't come?
23:11Why you just didn't come to Tambra?
23:35Tonight, we're meeting the Paws at the bowling alley.
23:38This is our first time ever double dating with the Paws.
23:42And after all the stupid and nonsense rumors and drama at my focus group, I'm definitely
23:48excited about tonight.
23:49Need a little fun.
23:51You know, I let Matt win in basketball.
23:53Oh, when y'all play basketball?
23:55You're not going to be...
23:59No good.
24:00Ball game.
24:01I got to give him the business today.
24:04That's us.
24:06We clicked up over here.
24:09Everybody got bangs over here.
24:13We throw it like a boomerang.
24:15Watch it come back.
24:16Ching, ching, ching.
24:18Yeah, like that.
24:23The bottom of the team.
24:25What's up?
24:26What you doing?
24:27Man.
24:28You better give me a bad damn thing.
24:29I am more than excited to finally have the chance to sit down with the Pearsons and to just
24:40have fun, especially with all the drama that has been swirling with the collective.
24:45I hope he's better in bowling than he is basketball.
24:48Don't do that.
24:49Don't do that.
24:49I let you win.
24:51I'm going to tell you, hey, that's the night to get it.
24:56Matt thinks that he's about to walk away with another win.
24:58He got a whole other thing coming.
25:00Promise you.
25:00Pearsons walking away with a win tonight.
25:03That's just what it is, Matt.
25:07Is that heavy?
25:08Is that a heavy one?
25:09Nah.
25:13Come on, baby.
25:14Come on.
25:15Glenn, come on.
25:16How do you drop the ball?
25:17My dog got caught in the hole.
25:19Come on.
25:20Don't worry about it.
25:20That's what she said.
25:21You know, I'm sizing Glenn up.
25:24Oh!
25:26I'm sizing Leticia up.
25:27That high be it?
25:28Oh, my God.
25:29Oh, my God.
25:30And I'm thinking about me and my wife.
25:32And I'm like, you know what?
25:33It's going to be easy money.
25:37Just missed it.
25:42Oh, my God.
25:43Boom.
25:45Left hand.
25:47Open.
25:49Get it, get it, get it, get it.
25:51Come back up there.
25:53Oh!
25:54Oh, my God.
25:56Oh, my God.
25:58Uh-oh.
26:00There you go.
26:01There you go.
26:01Hey!
26:03There you go.
26:04There you go.
26:04Yes, sir.
26:05Yes, sir.
26:06Oh, my God.
26:07It's OK.
26:08I didn't get my strike yet.
26:10Girl, we're going to let them bowl it out.
26:12We can come just chill.
26:13OK, yes.
26:18So, girl, how you been?
26:19I'm good.
26:19Since the last time I've seen you at the focus group.
26:23Shantae brought her own information to me that DeMond and I were not together.
26:31And I've had a boyfriend this entire time.
26:34Oh, man.
26:35That's what I wanted to know.
26:36You were the one who said Shantae to Tambora.
26:38And you said you were going with a good heart.
26:41But maybe that wasn't the best way to do it.
26:43Let me tell you something.
26:44Had I not said anything and y'all found out about it, y'all would be like, well, why you
26:48just didn't come to Tambora?
26:51I see you and Tambora trying to work on y'all's relationship.
26:53Yeah, that was a part of me trying to show her.
26:56One thing you're going to learn, especially within this group, Carrie, the more you hear,
27:00it's better to ask for forgiveness than it is for permission.
27:06Carrie, you don't tell me what to do.
27:07I do what I want to do, how I want to do it, and when I want to do it.
27:10So I did it.
27:11Y'all work together, though, right?
27:13Yeah, we worked together a lot.
27:14We're doing the restaurant stuff, yeah.
27:16I brought it up to Leticia that, you know, I wanted to be her manager.
27:20And she said, what you mean?
27:21I didn't say manager.
27:22Yes.
27:23I guess it depends on the capacity of the...
27:25Managing.
27:28I just don't think it's a good idea.
27:30As a person that runs several multimillion-dollar businesses, I think this is my lane to give advice
27:36on.
27:37So, Glenn, baby, you're not it for Leticia.
27:40She's always working, right?
27:41So, that will put us in the same...
27:44You trying to connect.
27:45You trying to connect with your wife.
27:46I'm trying to get that connection.
27:47That's what we're reading.
27:48He didn't tell me that.
27:49Y'all want to...
27:49He wants to be with you.
27:50He didn't tell me that.
27:51I think that it's extremely sweet and kind that Glenn wants to be a part of my growth,
27:57a part of my brand.
27:59But my brand is my brand, and my marriage is my marriage.
28:03Two separate things, and they have to stay separated.
28:05But anyway, this can go on.
28:07We need another date with the pause later.
28:09Because I love talking to just, like, real people.
28:11You know what I'm saying?
28:12So, let's finish this.
28:14Hold on, girl.
28:14I don't think so far back.
28:16I don't think so.
28:22I can't help you on this.
28:24Coming up on their collective.
28:26Tambra, she's ready for her guest.
28:29Woo!
28:29Welcome!
28:30Welcome!
28:32To the Museum of Tambra.
28:34What?
28:36Tambra!
28:38Ow!
28:39Living my best life 24-7.
28:42Yeah.
28:44All the pressures applied.
28:45You should feel threatened.
28:46My friends here at the Smith-Robertson Museum and Cultural Center,
28:52they have been so gracious to allow me to host my event here.
28:58This was the first African-American school for kids in the city of Jackson.
29:07Yes.
29:07So, I am about to take the collective to school.
29:10Class is in session.
29:12Hi.
29:14Hi.
29:16Hi.
29:16Hi, baby.
29:18What is this?
29:19That is a B.
29:22That is a T.
29:23Yes, very good.
29:25And then a little work here, I see.
29:27Yes!
29:27I've definitely had help.
29:29Yeah.
29:29Do you like it so far?
29:30Almost definitely.
29:32Of course.
29:33She's the highlight now.
29:34Okay.
29:35She's the grand finale.
29:37Yeah, yeah.
29:39I am in the mix of greatness.
29:42I'm a modern masterpiece making statements.
29:45I am so excited to be here today to support my girl, Tamra.
29:50Well, hello.
29:51Okay.
29:53How you doing?
29:54Beautiful.
29:55Knowing Tamra, she is always over the top when she does any event.
30:00Would you all like some champagne?
30:02Meet me at the mall, at the park, the ball, at the concert, cause we back outside.
30:09Champagne.
30:10How you doing, girl?
30:11I'm good, cute.
30:14Walking into the symphony, I don't know what to expect.
30:17How y'all okay?
30:18We've been greeted with champagne.
30:20What is this, Tamra?
30:21I don't know what to think.
30:27How y'all doing?
30:29Doing.
30:30Okay, ladies and gentlemen, Tamra, she's ready for her guest.
30:34Follow me, please.
30:35It's like a secret.
30:36I want to let lady go for it.
30:37There you go.
30:38Showtime.
30:39Woo!
30:41I don't need that.
30:42I don't need that.
30:45Welcome, welcome to the museum of Tamra.
30:50Come on.
30:51Woo!
30:52Woo!
30:52Woo!
30:53Woo!
30:53It was brought to my attention that a couple of the bells feel like they just don't know.
30:59Tamra said, let me reintroduce myself.
31:02Let's see.
31:03Yes.
31:04Tamra was like, girl, y'all listen.
31:06Y'all talking about y'all don't know me.
31:08Here it is.
31:09These are my parents.
31:11They have been married for 57 years.
31:14They're my love goals.
31:15So family is really big to me.
31:18So this is baby Tamra.
31:20So there is actually a story with this.
31:23My leg is actually broken right here.
31:25When my mom picked me up from the babysitter, my leg was broken.
31:28Mm-mm.
31:29That is one of the reasons that it took me so long for London Simone to actually go
31:34to a babysitter in school.
31:37Knowing that Tamra experienced what she experienced as a child, it gives me so much insight as to
31:44why she's decided in the past to move the way she moves with London Simone.
31:50This is my actual cheerleading outfit in middle school.
31:55Go team.
31:57I was co-captain of the cheerleaders, which explains the loud voice.
32:01Which explains why I project.
32:03I have been cheering for people my entire life.
32:06I think a lot of you knew about this journey, the fibroid journey.
32:12Mm-hmm.
32:13I have dealt with fibroids since my 20s.
32:15This surgery where they removed 39 fibroids, it was my most difficult surgery, which was
32:23one of the reasons I was thankful that I had actually frozen my embryos.
32:28Now that I know Latrice is dealing with the same thing, I really do wish Latrice the best
32:39on this fibroid journey.
32:42And this is when I was pregnant.
32:44This is probably.
32:45Okay.
32:45Some of the bells have missed this part of my life.
32:47When London Simone was born, I was in ICU, she was in NICU.
32:53I only saw London Simone for the very first time on a picture.
32:56This picture right here is actually the first picture I saw of London Simone.
33:02I've never seen Tambra be this open about London Simone, ever.
33:06She's always kept the baby away from the collective and protected.
33:11You better let me meet my niece.
33:13I don't think nobody's met her.
33:15Nobody?
33:16Girl, let her out the house.
33:18Tambra?
33:19Yes?
33:20Daman is ready.
33:23What?
33:23Okay.
33:24What are we about to have?
33:26I have.
33:26I want to start a picture.
33:28Oh my God.
33:29Oh my God.
33:31Oh my God.
33:33My biggest accomplishment, my biggest surprise.
33:40Girl, girl, girl, I like this.
33:42My real baby for the cameo.
33:46My real baby for the cameo.
33:50My real baby for the cameo.
33:53I am loving this moment.
33:56Now, this right here I was not expecting.
34:00Oh my God.
34:01She is a little cutie patootie.
34:03Oh my goodness.
34:04Hi.
34:05Look how she looking at you too.
34:07Hello.
34:08Is she sleeping?
34:09Is she sleeping?
34:10Are you okay?
34:12I overstimulated.
34:13She said, who is these helpful?
34:15She oughta pulled in in my Maserati.
34:18I don't have time for that.
34:19Are you on a walk?
34:20Baby, with me?
34:21Come on, girl.
34:21Oh my God.
34:23She said, baby.
34:25She said, no.
34:26She said, I'm ugly.
34:28I'm ugly.
34:30Listen.
34:31You better for sharing your little princess with the collection.
34:34Honestly.
34:36It meant a lot to finally meet Tambra's daughter.
34:40Everything that we should have known in years in this sisterhood about Tambra, we learned tonight.
34:46I definitely look at Tambra in a different light now.
34:48She's a mom, and I feel like I understand her a little better.
34:52I wish I could stay, but I can't.
34:53I know.
34:54I know.
34:54You have to go to work.
34:56Seven o'clock.
34:57I know.
34:57He has to go to work.
34:59Hey.
34:59You think about hanging out with the guys?
35:00I'll probably do something.
35:01Okay.
35:02Just let me know.
35:03If we could get the guys maybe to put the bitches together, the seats together, so we can kind of
35:10hang out a little bit.
35:12And there's also an area for the guys to hang out if they want to hang out, too.
35:16Okay.
35:16I am excited that this night has gone so well, and it seems like the Bells have received this event
35:24very well.
35:25However, there is just one piece of unfinished business that we need to discuss.
35:33Tambra, this took work, and it was very thoughtful.
35:36Yes.
35:37I just wanted to share.
35:38I love it.
35:39We appreciate it.
35:40Thanks for sharing.
35:41But on a more serious note, I would like to tell you this about what Shantae said to me.
35:45It's a rumor.
35:46Shantae was saying she got it from a reliable source.
35:49She needed to slap her source.
36:04Mm-hmm.
36:08But with that being said, I definitely didn't want Shantae around town spreading a rumor that's not true.
36:13And that's our station client.
36:15Right.
36:16I did not want him to hear that from anybody else.
36:19So Daman and I, we went and saw Mr. Juice.
36:22I don't want to come to you with any type of miss.
36:25But there's a rumor going around that.
36:27You're my boyfriend, not him.
36:29You're actually my boyfriend.
36:30You know what it is.
36:31We in Jackson.
36:32This is a small community.
36:34It's always so many rumors.
36:36Hey, welcome to the J.
36:39I hope this is the very last time that anyone brings up my name and Dr. Juice Cleanse in a
36:50negative way when it comes to the collective.
36:54I like that.
36:54I'm getting long over there, though.
36:56How about you guys?
36:56You're a teacher, man, y'all.
36:58This is better.
37:00You know?
37:00I'm trying to persuade her to let me manage her.
37:04Yeah.
37:06Why you laughing?
37:07Maybe take a different approach and not necessarily call it manager.
37:11Right.
37:12You're about to change the word, right?
37:14Because that's a little struggle.
37:16Right.
37:16Like, let me just contribute to your beast.
37:20Man, that might sound better.
37:21Contribute.
37:22Listening to, you know, the guys talk is making me realize maybe I need to change my tactics, the way
37:28that I come and teach you when I'm trying to be a supportive husband.
37:33Have you met my bonus daughter, Amber?
37:35Yes.
37:35So she says, are you, you know, ready to start back then?
37:37I'm like, girl, yeah.
37:38Like, I'm ready.
37:39I'm going outside.
37:40I said, girl, I'm on the date apps.
37:42I'm on all of them.
37:43She was like, date apps?
37:44Date apps?
37:44She was like, deal on these date apps.
37:46She said, Mama Marie.
37:48I am a matchmaker.
37:49Matt and I have matchmade several marriages in my friend group.
37:52And we can have, we can have, we can have each one of the guys to bring in a friend.
37:59Can we hear Marie's preference first?
38:00What do you want?
38:01What's your preference?
38:01Okay, what about women?
38:02Can we do men?
38:03Oh, hell no.
38:04I don't want a woman.
38:05Look at, listen, I know somebody right now that's dating a man and a woman.
38:10Now, I love beautiful women, but I don't want one for myself.
38:13But what I will share is this.
38:16When I was 18 years old, I had a threesome.
38:22So the goal was, like, we didn't have sex.
38:27She did on me.
38:28She went down there on me.
38:31Well, what we said was true then.
38:32What we said was true then?
38:34Would you date a woman?
38:36Girl, of course.
38:39What question is that?
38:41Is this too much information?
38:42What?
38:42You like that part of what she did, but afterwards you want a little bit more.
38:46Is that what you're saying?
38:47I don't want that from a woman.
38:49You want it from a man?
38:50I want it from a man.
38:51That wasn't for me.
38:52And I learned early on when I was a teenager, it wasn't for me.
38:56Live your truth, Marie.
38:57Absolutely.
38:58I'm not ashamed of anything I have experienced in my life.
39:01I don't regret that.
39:03I experienced it.
39:04However, it's not for me.
39:06All right, ladies.
39:07Well, we're going to table this for the next time we get together.
39:09Because I know my baby is somewhere running around.
39:13I know.
39:15She is probably ready to go.
39:18I think tonight went great.
39:20And I am looking forward to see where we go from here as a collective.
39:27Oh, Lord.
39:29Come on.
39:29This was nice.
39:30This was?
39:31This was nice.
39:32But how have y'all been?
39:33We've been good.
39:35How have y'all been?
39:36Good.
39:37I can't even lie.
39:38It's better.
39:39Mm-hmm.
39:39Right?
39:40Hopefully.
39:41Yep.
39:42Maybe.
39:43Yep.
39:43It's better.
39:45Glendale, how does Tisha need to give you some?
39:48Oh, she's celibate.
39:50Jesus.
39:51How's that been?
39:52Boy .
39:53Babe, we should try it.
39:55Don't.
39:56Don't do it.
39:57A man got two heads.
39:59It's different.
40:00No, I knew you was going to side with him.
40:03But you have to look at him.
40:04He's a man.
40:05Just say y'all want to hang out with each other.
40:07Nah, seriously.
40:08Y'all want to hang out with our wife like it used to be.
40:10It used to be good times.
40:11Stop with it.
40:12I think we should do a double date.
40:14Well, can you guys plan a perfect date then if we don't go on the date?
40:17We got this.
40:17For all of us, not for y'all.
40:19We can ride four wheels and talk at the same time.
40:22You got nothing like that.
40:23Nah, I'm gonna eat.
40:24I'm genuinely excited to see what this double date could bring.
40:28I'm hoping that this is the start of a new chapter with the Rodgers.
40:34I'm definitely hoping that this is one step towards moving forward and just coexisting peacefully.
40:40Y'all be careful in this weather.
40:42All right, you guys too.
40:44Okay.
40:44Hopefully this ice let me slide into something.
40:47You know what I'm saying?
40:49It ain't.
40:49It ain't.

41:01They had to put shots in my mouth to numb them.
41:03And every time they did it, my blood pressure went up higher and higher.
41:07And they was like, we don't want you to have a heart attack.
41:11What's the update on the mobile location?
41:13We have it on the market, but as long as we stay on the market, we are emerging.
41:16Right.
41:18You don't comprehend, like, the extent of everything that I do.
41:23Right.
41:24I understand the state.
41:25What you can do, you can do it on a laptop.
41:27What you do, you push the button.
41:29So what's the big deal?
41:30I have to make sure that this business is still functioning.
41:59What you do.
42:00What you do.
42:01What you do, you do.
42:01What's the name of the company.
42:02What you do, you write.
42:02episode carries a tone of reinvention there's a clear sense that certain individuals are no longer
42:09willing to be defined by past conflicts or outdated perceptions instead they're stepping forward with
42:15new energy whether that's in business personal relationships or within the group itself this
42:22creates a refreshing shift from pure drama to something a bit more intentional and self-aware
42:27that said this is still bell collective and tension is never far away as cast members attempt to
42:35reintroduce themselves not everyone is ready to accept those changes old conflicts resurface
42:41quickly especially when past behavior is brought back into the conversation some of the women
42:48question whether these transformations are genuine or simply strategic moves to regain control or repair
42:54public image this skepticism adds a layer of complexity to the episode turning what could
43:00have been a smooth reset into something far more dramatic one of the strongest elements of this
43:06episode is how it balances personal growth with group conflict on one hand we see moments of
43:12vulnerability honest conversations about mistakes ambition and the pressure to succeed on the other
43:19other hand those same moments often trigger defensive reactions from others leading to new disagreements
43:26it's this push and pull dynamic that keeps the episode engaging business also plays a significant
43:32role in this installment as always the women are not just navigating friendships they're building brands
43:39and making moves episode 8 highlights how professional ambitions can both unite and divide the group
43:46collaborations are discussed but underlying tensions make it clear that trust is still an issue
43:53in a space where image and reputation matter every decision carries weight another standout aspect
44:00is the shifting alliances relationships within the group continue to evolve and episode 8 makes it clear
44:08that no dynamic is set in stone some bonds appear to strengthen through shared understanding
44:14while others weaken under the pressure of unresolved issues these changes feel organic reflecting
44:21the complexity of real-life friendships especially in a high-stakes environment visually and stylistically
44:27the show maintains its polished and upscale aesthetic from elegant settings to well-produced group events
44:34everything reinforces the theme of ambition and success at the same time the editing keeps the pacing tight
44:41moving smoothly between personal moments and group interactions by the end of the episode it's clear that while some
44:49progress has been made nothing is fully resolved the idea of reintroduction is still in progress not
44:56everyone is convinced and not everyone is ready to move forward this leaves the door open for even more
45:04tension in the episodes ahead overall let me reintroduce myself is a strong and meaningful episode that adds
45:11depth to season 7 it goes beyond surface level drama and explores how identity perception and ambition shape the
45:20way these women interact with each other for viewers it's a reminder that in bell collective
45:25re-invention isn't just about changing it's about proving that change is real
45:30you
