02:05I don't have to be talking this time.
02:06I contacted some employees of hers.
02:09What?
02:09There is actually no truth in Latrice's claim.
02:13I have no reason to reach out to ex-employees,
02:16current employees, or any of her employees.
02:19Girl, how ain't nobody ever contacted that employee of yours?
02:23You have.

03:58Oh, my goodness.
03:59I did not know my 50 was going to go like this.
04:02All the while, the brouhaha, I'm
04:05expecting to see Marie, the bestie, by Latrice's side.
04:08But lo and behold, it's really security.
04:12Shantae holding up the fort.
04:14You know what they bought?
04:15That's at home.
04:16I ain't nobody finna play with my wife, bruh.
04:18I cannot believe what just happened at this party.
04:21I've never had that many people surrounding me,
04:23yelling at me, wanting to fight me.
04:25So where all this came from?
04:27Like this, you and Tisha, when y'all was talking,
04:29you were like, you reaching out to my ex-employees.
04:31I got proof.
04:31Because she is.
04:31What she's trying to do?
04:32What are you alleging her motive is for reaching out
04:35to your employees to do what?
04:35Tisha is trying to destroy my reputation, maybe trying
04:38to destroy my business.
04:39I don't know.
04:40You have to talk to your friend.
04:41I cannot tell you why she do certain stuff.
04:44I don't know.
04:44I don't know what to say, but this is too much.
04:47Well, you got to work.
04:48Marie, you can't be like one-sided.
04:50No, I'm in the, like, I'm like this.
04:53No, she could be one-sided.
04:54No, no, no, no.
04:55No, you got to be one-sided.
04:56No, no, no.
04:56What's right?
04:57I'm the type of person, I'm for what's right.
05:00I'm going to say truth to myself.
05:01So in the case that she might be wrong and y'all might find out she did reach out to
05:06these people, will you tell her she wrong?
05:08Absolutely.
05:09OK.
05:10Y'all, it's Selena birthday.
05:11Can we please go party?
05:13All right.
05:13That's what we want.
05:15Yes.
05:15Come on, y'all.
05:17Come on.
05:18Come on.
05:18Man, come on, man.
05:19Stop playing with me, bro.
05:20We talking about Latrice here, Glenn.
05:24I'm definitely shocked that someone that I allow in my space can have that type of hate
05:29for me.
05:29That was a different level type of hate.
05:32Like, I would never have thought that came from Latrice.
05:35Over what?
05:39Ugh.
05:40Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
05:42Top of study clicking on the clock.
05:45People making moves, you rather sit back and watch.
05:48Say you complain about what you don't got.
05:52You got to get up.
05:53OK, I'll do that.
05:53One more time.
05:57Hello?
05:58Hey.
05:59Hey.
05:59Hey.
06:00How are you?
06:01Pretty good.
06:01How you doing?
06:02I am wonderful.
06:03I just wanted to call and give you a quick update.
06:05I spoke to Mr. Harrell, and I talked to him about the editing of the pilot.
06:11So he was like, give him about two weeks.
06:13He's going to do a highlight reel.
06:16I've been on the phone all morning talking to my team.
06:19I have been working with Donald for years.
06:22I'm excited.
06:23I'm excited, and I think everyone that saw the footage from the family that we done, I think
06:30that everything looked beautiful, and I think we on the right track.
06:33Donald has inspired me to do some amazing things.
06:37He's been able to see something in me when it comes to entrepreneurship that I didn't
06:41even see.
06:42He's been a great mentor.
06:43He's been a great friend.
06:44We have worked great together.
06:46And also, just to be on the safe side, is it possible that we can have another banner?
06:53Whatever you need, just let's get it.
06:56Okay.
06:57Okay.
06:57All right.
06:58All right.
06:59All right.

07:15Yeah.
07:15Right now, Glenn and I are not where we need to be, but I will say, I appreciate him.
07:21He stepped in like my knight in shining armor and rescued me from the hyenas.
07:25And I just...
07:27I'm just...
07:27Thank you, baby.
07:30Selena's 50th birthday party.
07:32That was crazy.
07:34How about that?
07:35That was crazy.
07:36Crazy.
07:37If you wouldn't have been there, those girls was going to jump me.
07:40Like, they were out for blood, so...
07:43You know, I'm glad that I was there.
07:45Well, I appreciate you.
07:46You be careful.
07:47I'll call you whenever Josh is here, okay?
07:50All right, bye.
07:51Love you more.
07:51Bye.
07:52You wanna talk trash?
07:53Well, you better watch your back.
07:55Wanna give me help?
07:56I can navigate it well.
08:02Come on.
08:03Come on.
08:04Come on.
08:08Come on.
08:10Come on.
08:10Dr. Marie Monroe.
08:11Hey, friend.
08:12Hey, friend.
08:13Hey, friend.
08:14Good to see you.
08:15Hey, this weather's so crazy.
08:17Today, I'm stopping by Latisha's house to check on her.
08:20I hate and I feel bad that Latrice and Latisha almost came to blows at Selena's birthday party.
08:29How you feel?
08:30Girl.
08:31Hmm.
08:32Since the last time we ran into each other.
08:34Yeah.
08:35It was a whole situation.
08:38That was crazy, Marie.
08:40I have, like, never felt like I'm about to be jumped.
08:44How did y'all get here?
08:45When Latrice feels as if I sent Shantae.
08:49So she was like, um, I was like, I don't have to have anybody to speak for me.
08:54Then the next thing she say, oh, you were contacting my employees.
08:58Girl, look at Josh.
09:00This here, these are messages from Josh.
09:03Okay?
09:04We were talking about Latrice had stopped him that year from hanging out and coming to events
09:09and made him work and stuff.
09:10And I never heard from him again.
09:12And this was March 20, this is back 2024.
09:17Because he wanted, he wanted to expose Latrice on some things.
09:21They mad at me because the weapon they formed against me is prospering against them.
09:26What Latrice is saying is not true.
09:28I'm looking at the text messages.
09:30I feel like Latrice is blowing it out of proportion.
09:33So I just feel like it's a get back type of thing.
09:37What did you think?
09:38I was gonna let you get away with it.
09:40Talking behind my back.
09:42Trick.
09:43Yeah.
09:44Oh, come here.
09:45Come here.
09:47Hi.
09:48Hey, hey, hey.
09:49Here you go.
09:52I needed something in here because I don't have any more bananas.
09:54Oh, look at that.
09:55So that's perfect, honey.
09:56Everything in my life is just a line.
09:58We catching up on from this birthday party.
10:01Whew.
10:02It was a lot.
10:03It was a lot.
10:04Here's the thing.
10:05At one point in time, when we were outside, literally, it was just me and Tisha.
10:09I don't know where you went.
10:11And it ain't shut.
10:12Hey, no.
10:12I never left.
10:16When Treece was trying to fight you, I told Treece, no.
10:19I stood in front of her.
10:20I'm like, no, Treece, we can't do this, man.
10:22We'll collect it.
10:22Like, no, no, no, no.
10:23We can't do this.
10:24Treece, no.
10:26Treece, no.
10:26No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
10:27No, no, no, no, no.
10:28Treece, I thought we was moving forward.
10:31But I still feel like.
10:32But like, at the end of the day, like, you're talking about four or five damn people coming
10:36for you.
10:36What can I do?
10:43Coming up on Bell Collective.
10:45Brick and Spoon Mobile, that was already there.
10:48The mojo ain't mojoing.
10:50Well, then put it up for sale.
10:51No.
10:53That's serious.
10:54I just didn't know that they could kill you.
10:56I was like, oh, I knew that.
10:57You could have lost your life.
11:01I want to be celibate.
11:02You didn't even let me finish after.
11:03I don't even need to hear nothing else you got to say.
11:06So that's.
11:06You said you don't want to your husband.
11:07No, I, you, no, I'm talking about.
11:09Crazy as hell.
11:14Life, you talking about four or five damn people coming for you.
11:17What can I do?
11:20Shantae had my back the entire time.
11:23But seeing Marie stick by Latrice afterwards makes me really, really confused.
11:28Maybe I missed the memo because, Marie, do you even like her?
11:32I just feel like in that moment, it should have been.
11:34What the hell?
11:34Wait, wait, wait, wait.
11:34It should have been us against them because now you already know how that.
11:37That's not my battle, Shantae.
11:38It's not mine either, but that's my girl.
11:40No, no, she my girl too.
11:41But wait a minute.
11:42When me and Latrice was in tour, where was Latisha?
11:45Latrice actually went to whoever was bashing you.
11:48She tried to stop this.
11:49This is too far.
11:50I had no motive to go to anybody about anything.
11:54She can believe what the .
11:55No, Marie.
11:56No, no.
11:57You're not listening to her, Marie.
11:58She said she had to do with it when they orchestrate it.
12:01Don't ruin me.
12:02The same girl that I tried to tell you was a snake in the grass.
12:05I believe, so I believe her.
12:06Yeah, you go down for me.
12:08You keep going to the bath floor, she gonna get that bat and weigh your ass out every time.
12:12What y'all going through?
12:14It ain't got nothing to do with me.
12:15You didn't get it when me and her was going back and forth.
12:19When Marie and Latrice had their situation, I was dead in the middle of that.
12:24So clearly, Marie is still holding a grudge against me and stirring up some drama because I did not verbally
12:32say that, yes, Marie, Latrice was wrong.
12:35All I know is nobody's getting ready to come and play with my friends.
12:39Let me tell you one thing, and I want to be clear.
12:41I don't need no damn body to have my back.
12:44The way that I'm protected and the way that I'm favored, I don't need that.
12:47I appreciate you for staying out there.
12:50I'm only doing for you what you do for me.
12:51I appreciate you for staying out there.
12:53But at the end of the day, I know what this is.
12:56I know that there's greatness over my life.
12:58It is.
12:58And the attacks are, they're going to keep coming.
13:01But I love y'all, and y'all, I got to go get Josh.
13:03Thank God.
13:04OK, we love you too.
13:04Thank y'all.
13:08When you get a little older, you get a little bolder.
13:12That's right.
13:13And you don't really care what the people got to say, do you?
13:16No.
13:17Because you can do everything that you want to do your way.
13:20Not tonight.
13:22Oh, my God, baby.
13:24Not you just walked in like I'm being screwed up at me.
13:27Hey, baby, where is my gun?
13:31I wanted to redo Selena's 50th birthday party
13:34because I hate the way her actual party went,
13:37especially when me and Letitia got into it.
13:40Girl, you ain't crazy.
13:41Hold on.
13:42You ain't crazy.
13:45Here's to a night of peace, blessings, and love
13:49without Letitia.
13:51Drama, drama, make me wanna crawl on the floor.
13:55Cry till the morning.
13:58Drama, drama, do you wanna make me feel?
14:01Hi, baby.
14:03Hi, sweetie.
14:03How are you?
14:05Mwah!
14:06This is my first time back at Latrice's house
14:09since the whole Amanda and Glenn situation.
14:11Tonight is about peace, but I have questions as well
14:15as to what had Latrice so riled up.
14:19Drama, drama, do you wanna make me feel like this?
14:25It's a fat camera.
14:26Yeah, yeah, yeah.
14:27I mean, Avery's birthday.
14:30Happy birthday.
14:31Happy birthday.
14:32Happy birthday.
14:32So cute.
14:34Happy birthday.
14:34So I don't have to blow this thing now.
14:36No, you do not.
14:37No, you do not.
14:38Nowhere.
14:38You don't blow it up.
14:39I'm thinking now.
14:40Oh, so cute.
14:41Them lommas be not functioning the way that they used to.
14:44Yeah.
14:46All right.
14:47Nice.
14:48All right.
14:50Yes.
14:50So, friend, of course, this is my apology for what happened
14:54at your birthday.
14:56And some idea happened.
14:58It's never my intention to ruin anything, any event.
15:02Like, I'm always there in positive light, like,
15:05because I support you with whatever you do.
15:06And I'm a bridesmaid.
15:08That's right.
15:13Happy birthday.
15:15Happy birthday.
15:16Yay!
15:17Happy birthday, Selena.
15:19Yay!
15:21So now I am having a fun, drama-free birthday party.
15:26I know Leticia isn't here.
15:28I know Carrie isn't here.
15:30But the vibes here are positive.
15:33And this is what I wanted for my 50.
15:36Maria, I wish you would have came to see me in the hospital.
15:39Well, I didn't know.
15:41I found out I have a blood clot.
15:43That's serious.
15:44Blood clots are serious.
15:45It is.
15:45Very serious.
15:46I was so ignorant when it came to blood clots.
15:48I just didn't know that they could kill you.
15:50She called me that night, and she was like,
15:54oh, it's a blood clot.
15:55And she was just like, why wish they had me up?
15:56Like, it's not good.
15:57Girl, she told me on the phone, I wish they hurried up.
16:01I'm ready to go.
16:02She was ready to go, girl.
16:02She called me the next time.
16:03I was like, girl, they admitted me into the hospital.
16:05I was like, oh, I knew that.
16:06When it came to my health scare,
16:08that was such a wake-up moment,
16:10especially with the people that was there beside me.
16:13Selena, Tambra, and my husband, without them,
16:16I don't know if I could have made it.
16:20You could have lost your life.
16:21Yes.
16:21So with that being said, you know, life is so precious.
16:24Absolutely.
16:25For us to be...
16:26Bickering.
16:26Bickering and arguing, fussing, fighting.
16:30Because what I witnessed at Selena's party,
16:31it was like a bunch of animals in the wilderness.
16:35This is another reason why I wanted to do this.
16:37Because I wanted to honor Selena's birthday week.
16:40I feel like I never let anybody get me out of my character at all.
16:43But I think I was so fed up and I just blacked out.
16:45Like, I'm already going through a lot of stuff.
16:47The blood clots, like, Tisha took it another step.
16:51And you're contacting employees,
16:55disgruntled employees that I have fired, like...
16:57If they're already disgruntled,
16:59what's the benefit of doing it?
17:01Listen, I don't know how Tisha thinks.
17:03I just know what she did.
17:05And she did...
17:06What proof do you have she did?
17:07Baby, I have the proof of the employees saying that she did.
17:11That she reached out to them?
17:12Yes.
17:12We're a collective.
17:13All this foolishness, like, craziness,
17:16like, how can we move forward as a collective
17:18when we got outside people noise in our ears?
17:20We can't.
17:21I don't have outside noise in my ears.
17:23I know for a fact what this girl did.
17:26Tisha.
17:27I can't say that I am on either one of their sides.
17:31Latrice and Latisha have a relationship
17:35beyond what any of us know about.
17:38So it's not about who's right and who's wrong.
17:40It's about what the right, you know, like, what's right.
17:43If we can get past what we went through, Trixie, God.
17:46I feel like this is worse.
17:47For y'all to have so much love for each other.
17:50Want to have.
17:51And that's the thing.
17:52That's the reason why I feel like I can't go back.
17:53Because if you have that much love for a person
17:55and they're that disloyal to you...
17:58I really just wish y'all could just sit down and talk it out
18:02and just make every... I mean, everything.
18:05I don't trust Tisha.
18:07So you just done.
18:08It's nothing she can say.
18:09I am done.
18:09It's nothing she can do.
18:10Especially when you be in the same space with her.
18:14We can be in the same space, honey.
18:16As long as her husband don't come up to me and say anything to me,
18:18then we are good.
18:21Coming up on Bell Collective.
18:23You got my bill that's, like, struggling.
18:25That's how you learn.
18:26Mm-hmm.
18:27That's what make you strong.
18:28Yeah.
18:29Well, I'm weak right now.
18:30Let me be weak.
18:31I didn't read you like that, sister.
18:35Keep your head up. Keep your head up. Keep your head up.
18:38You should never let them see your way to down, down, down.
18:41Keep your head up. Keep your head up.
18:43You should never let them see your way to frown, frown, frown.
18:47You don't... You never start a sentence with because.
18:50I don't know why.
18:52Why you throw a wrist in the hoopie?
18:53Because you need to do it right.
18:55Lean your head. Lean your head. Lean your head.
18:57Mm.
18:58Hello?
18:59Hello.
18:59Anybody here?
19:01Hey, Grandma.
19:02Hey, my daughter.
19:04Hey, my sweetheart.
19:04Hey, my sweetheart.
19:06I'm back home, ready to get my life back on track
19:09after all the crazy that I just went through in the Jack.
19:13Me and Matt trying to get situated, get settled with the kids.
19:16And lo and behold, an impromptu visit from my parents.
19:21So what do we owe this honor?
19:23I know you work hard.
19:25And I say, well, Robert, let's get some food
19:28and take it over to Carrie.
19:30Let's go.
19:30I'm sorry for you.
19:31Because you know I didn't have nothing cooked.
19:33Yeah, you're right.
19:34I'm just tired of my grandchildren going out to eat every night.
19:37Well, my long time.
19:38Me too.
19:38As long as I got a...
19:39You know what?
19:41We don't go out every night.
19:43Every time I call, they're out to do it.
19:44Most nights.
19:45She needs to stay home and cook a nice, wholesome meal for her kids.
19:48Because she home most of the time in the daytime.
19:50First of all, Ray Charles,
19:53you and your opinion can go elsewhere.
19:56Children, y'all have y'all's time?
19:58We about to have adult time over here.
19:59Come on, y'all.
20:00My parents raised me to go out and get it.
20:03My dad was my basketball coach.
20:06My mom, she had her own business
20:10when it was not even a thing for women to have women-owned businesses.
20:13So I grew up with two entrepreneurial parents.
20:16And that's really where I get my tenacity from.
20:19So, Ma, you know we've been going to Jackson a lot.
20:22Okay.
20:23And I've been hanging with the Bells.
20:24Okay.
20:24It's a new friend group for me.
20:26And it's a little challenging because, I mean, I'm dramatic.
20:30But they, like, overly dramatic.
20:33One of the Bells, Selena, whose birthday it was,
20:36she brought all the Bells outside and said,
20:38I just, all I want for my birthday is for everybody to get along.
20:41And then she was like, I'm going to open the floor.
20:44Y'all say what y'all want to say, baby, why she did that.
20:46So Letitia started getting on her high horse.
20:48And then Latrice got on hers.
20:50And, baby, the two horses collided.
20:51But they all friends.
20:53Supposed to be.
20:54The frenemies.
20:54I mean, it was all the women, da, da, da, da, rah, rah, rah, rah, rah.
20:59It was, you know.
20:59Pure chaos.
21:00It was a little ratchet.
21:02But enough about them.
21:02So is it going to spill over into something else?
21:05Or is it finished?
21:06That's not for us to decide.
21:08Well, you need to decide if you're going to be over there with these folks
21:12and they're acting like that.
21:13Exactly.
21:14And that's why I'm trying to bring the peace.
21:16My mama always told me, if you mess with Trash, it'll get on you.
21:21Is she about to get me for my new friends?
21:24Because my mom is quite judgmental.
21:26Because I don't want that drama in my life.
21:27I got enough dealing with my businesses.
21:29Speaking of, we bought into Brick and Spoon Mobile that was already there.
21:35And their restaurant, the owners didn't put TOC into it.
21:39But it's a beautiful place now.
21:41It is.
21:42We did a whole renovation and everything.
21:44But Brittany and I were probably too confident thinking,
21:47OK, we're going to bring the Mississippi Mojo to Mobile,
21:49and it's the Mojo ain't Mojo-ing.
21:52Well, then put it up for sale.
21:55Now, concentrate on the ones down here because they're doing wonderful.
21:58I want to keep it because if I put it for sale, I'll probably lose money.
22:04Sometimes you got to cut your losses.
22:06We have two super successful stores in Mississippi,
22:09and I don't even get to be happy about the success
22:13because you got Mobile that's, like, struggling and it just...
22:16That's how you learn.
22:17Mm-hmm.
22:18That's what make you strong.
22:20Ugh.
22:21Yeah.
22:21Well, I'm weak right now.
22:22Let me be weak.
22:24I didn't read you like that, sister.
22:27It's hard to admit out loud that one of my stores is in a performance.
22:32I'm tough enough on myself.
22:34I expect my mom to give me tough love.
22:36But right now in this moment, I need some sympathy.
22:40Can I get a little pat on the back?
22:41Can I get a little baby?
22:42You all right?
22:43You know, like, golly.
22:46And on that note, I'm going to fix me a plate.
22:51Coming up, one bell collector.
22:53What were your thoughts about the recommitment?
22:55Like, did you want to go?
22:57No.
22:57No.
22:58It went because of you.
23:00Mama can't even remember that day.
23:02I felt like, let me just say whatever I think you want to hear.
23:06And sometimes it's good if it's going to get you out to do whatever you need to do to better
23:11yourself.
23:11Mm-hmm.
23:12But make sure that that's what you're doing it for.
23:15Do you feel like I'm going to bring bad energy to you or something?
23:18I'm going to be honest.
23:19I know my worth.
23:19I'm more than a paycheck, like.
23:22Oh.
23:22That's the only time I get any attention when it's payday or she's horny.
23:27What?
23:39Hi.
23:40Hi.
23:40How are you?
23:41I'm fine.
23:42I'm Latisha.
23:42I'm Becky.
23:44Nice to meet you.
23:46Are y'all ready to do some ceramics?
23:48Yes, ma'am.
23:48I'm excited.
23:50I'm meeting with my mom today to do some ceramics so we can have mother and daughter time.
23:55I have lots of options.
23:57It says love.
23:58I want this one.
23:59It's not often now that my mom and I get to catch up like this, especially with my schedule
24:04and me always out of town working and just traveling.
24:08So this is important.
24:09And I know I need it.
24:10And I know my mom needs it, too.
24:12Yes.
24:12I'm going to put my apron on because you know how my hands get.
24:15Oh, yeah.
24:17You're welcome.
24:20Well, how have you been?
24:22I've been good.
24:24See you moving slow.
24:25You got your, um, rheumatoid, uh, your shots today.
24:29Yes, ma'am.
24:29I got five shots today.
24:31You might as well start his surgery today.
24:33I'm often worried about my mom and her health.
24:37I know that she be in a lot of pain, especially with her rheumatoid arthritis.
24:41I'm always concerned.
24:43You know, I've been on my financial independencies.
24:48Mm-hmm.
24:48Just trying to get everything situated.
24:51Again, I thank you for adding me to your credit card.
24:54Now I got my own, honey.
24:56That's the good part because I was like, oh, is she going to use my card?
24:59Okay.
25:00Mama.
25:01I'm just so focused on mama getting my stuff together for me.
25:04You know, I've just been under Glenn's fingertips for so long to where I want to make sure every
25:10decisions I make is because I want to make them.
25:13Like, not because I feel like I have to stay in certain situations or I have to just stay with
25:19Glenn.
25:19When you first got married, the first thing I told you was, Tisha, get your own bank account.
25:26But you know Glenn was not going for that.
25:28Yeah, and I didn't say anything because you was trying to be the perfect wife at that time, so I
25:33let you be.
25:34But you got to have your own at some point.
25:37Yeah.
25:37As married black women, we sacrificed a lot.
25:42We sacrificed for our husbands.
25:44We put our dreams on hold to just be perfect for them.
25:48Had I got my own bank account, had my own independency, it would have definitely made my husband feel uncomfortable.
25:56So I just chose peace.
25:58So how did you feel?
25:59What were your thoughts about the recommitment?
26:01Like, did you want to go?
26:03No.
26:04I went because of you.
26:05Mama can't even remember that day.
26:07I felt like, let me just say whatever I think you want to hear.
26:11And sometimes that's good if that's going to get you out to do whatever you need to do to better
26:16yourself.
26:16Mm-hmm.
26:16But make sure that that's what you're doing it for.
26:19Yeah.
26:20And a lot of times, like you're saying about that recommitment, one reason I didn't say anything, because sometimes it's
26:26best to let you do it on your own and find out through the saying, well, I listened to Mama.
26:30What if I had to win?
26:31What would happen?
26:32Mm-hmm.
26:32Would he have changed or would it be the same thing?
26:35My mama was totally different than me in marriage.
26:38She's been married six times and she's like, don't play with me.
26:41One wrong move with my mama, she out.
26:44One wrong move with me, I try to forgive and figure out, what made you do that?
26:48How did you know when it was, like, time to, like, get a divorce? And what was that feeling? Like,
26:54what does that look like?
26:55That's something that I can't really explain to you when it gets to where, yo, give a damn, don't give
26:59a damn. Everybody's different. Only you now.
27:02Well, I've just made the decision, Mama, that I'm keeping Glenn out of my professional life. And that's just what
27:10it is.
27:12Right now where we are, there's a problem with him, like, he freaking out. Like, it's like every little thing,
27:20he'll call and I don't answer.
27:21And then he'll say, call me back on FaceTime right now. Don't call regular, call on FaceTime. I'm like, okay.
27:28You should call on FaceTime and have a man laying in the bed beside you.
27:31Mom!
27:34Just go hang on and satisfy his curiosity and then quit calling. Like, okay, here it is. You know?
27:40Mama!
27:41But I don't really have a lot against Glenn or whatever, but he can't hold you back.
27:47Yeah.
27:48If someone really loves you, they want to see you win.
27:52Yeah.
27:53They want to help you get to the top, not hold you back.
27:55Yeah.
27:56Sometimes you got to think about you.
27:58And that's where I am now, Mama.
27:59Feels good, doesn't it?
28:00It feels amazing.
28:02What's so different now is that there are actions behind my words.
28:06Like, I'm really focused, there's motion, and I'm just really walking like I'm talking.
28:12You did so good.
28:13You like my plate.
28:14L-O-V-E.
28:16This is plate.
28:17When we take this plate home, and when you know that you got enough, break this plate.
28:21Oh, that's a good idea.
28:23Mama, that's a great idea.
28:25When I see you break this plate.
28:27That's your plate.
28:27And it's going to be yours.
28:29Love because I love you.
28:30I'm going to love it when you break the plate.
28:35Yeah, I love it.
28:38Coming up on The Collective.
28:41You as a man, you should never step to a woman.
28:44He trying to save his marriage.
28:45Well, don't comment me about your marriage.
28:47He's a desperate man right now.
29:10Hey.
29:11How are you?
29:12Hey, Farina.
29:13Hey.
29:14How you doing?
29:16I missed you.
29:17I missed you one of the others.
29:19What you cooking?
29:21I'm cooking for my man, honey.
29:23Girl, wait, wait, wait.
29:25Let me take my shoes off.
29:26Yeah, because you know you the cooker.
29:28You the real cooker.
29:30My husband's finally coming home from Columbia.
29:32I miss him so much, so I got my girl Amanda with me today.
29:36She's helping me cook him a little dinner
29:38so that I can show him what he's missing.
29:40She didn't need to help me make dinner.
29:42I can cook, okay?
29:44So what's on the menu?
29:45I have steak, shrimp, green beans, and mashed potatoes.
29:50Girl, I'm thinking we fit to catch up.
29:52I didn't know you were fit to put me to work.
29:54Baby, come on.
29:55Listen, you know this is not my ministry right here, honey.
29:58So it is a lot dealing with having blood clots,
30:02Letitia trying to come at me,
30:04Glenn trying to fight women,
30:06and also dealing with the issues at taste.
30:08I'm just so ready for my husband to come home.
30:12I'm glad he's coming back from his getaway
30:14because I need him to be my getaway.
30:17Child, hold on.
30:18These mashed potatoes say best before 18 December 2024.
30:23And we got instant.
30:26Instant?
30:27Why you didn't get the whole potatoes
30:28so we can chop them up and make them?
30:30All right.
30:31Y'all definitely don't know how to do the whole potato.
30:34Why the oil and stuff is black?
30:37Don't worry about that, man.
30:38This is going to be good.
30:39Oh, girl, the butter expired.
30:46Listen, cooking is not my thing.
30:48I can cook.
30:49I just don't.
30:51The fact that the mashed potatoes are expired,
30:53I mean, I don't care what Amanda says.
30:55Whatever I put on my husband's plate,
30:57he's going to eat it.
30:59Now they put on there about to damn expire mashed potatoes.
31:04I did make that meal with love.
31:06Everything was expired.
31:10Hey, what's up?
31:12My man is home.
31:14Hi, babe.
31:15Cliff says it's a stranger in the kitchen.
31:18It smells good, though.
31:19Okay.
31:21What you smell?
31:23Babe, you a little tan.
31:25What the hell you been doing?
31:26I've been on the beach enjoying myself.
31:27I got to go to work.
31:28Well, thank you, friend.
31:30Cliff, let me know how these green...
31:32I'll let you know, Cesar.
31:33I know who's cooking and I'm going to know you're cooking.
31:34I'll let you know.
31:35Okay, well, see you later, friend.
31:37Bye, pal.
31:37I love you.
31:38Love you more.
31:40Atree serving me in the kitchen is not a normal thing.
31:43It's rare.
31:44Mostly she work a lot.
31:45I work a lot.
31:46So coming home to help her preparing Amiya was a surprise.
31:50I need to take a trip once a month
31:51if I'm going to get this type of service.
31:53If she's missing me like that, I love it.
32:00Here you go.
32:01How does everything taste?
32:02Tastes good.
32:05You miss me?
32:06Yeah, I miss you.
32:07So tell me about your trip.
32:08Trip went nice.
32:10Then you called me telling me that all this drama had...
32:13I'm like, you upset.
32:16You and Leticia, y'all getting an argument.
32:19Like, that's never me.
32:21Like, I'm never confrontational.
32:22I never want to fight.
32:23But I was like, you know, basically, bitch, what's up?
32:26You're too classy behind it, bitch.
32:28You understand?
32:29Mm-hmm.
32:29So you stooping to their level.
32:32Is that what they want?
32:33I definitely stoop to their level.
32:35But Glenn somehow pops into the equation.
32:39And you as a man, you should never step to a woman.
32:43The reason he attacking you is he about to lose his wife if he'd have been up.
32:48He trying to save his marriage.
32:50Well, don't come at me about your man.
32:52He's a desperate man right now.
32:54I can't hang with nobody like that.
32:55If he think that he won't go running and argue with women, you know, I don't tolerate that.
33:01We are powerful black people.
33:04We've got to come together and not destroy you, though.
33:06We should be big in the legacy, not taking it down.
33:10I'm all for the community coming together, working together.
33:14But if you have someone who is against that, which in this case is Leticia, then it's no resolve.
33:20She's constantly conniving and lying and trying to bring turmoil into my life.
33:26So that's just something that I can't get with.
33:29And I'm not even going to worry about the bills anymore.
33:31I'm strictly focusing on my health.
33:33So this is your last steak, last mashed potatoes.
33:37Listen, I've been eating steak.
33:40When I'm older, I'm going to keep eating steak.
33:42No, you're not.
33:43Your last steak.
33:45Enjoy.
33:46I appreciate your cooperation, mister.
33:48I should have stayed in Columbia.
33:49That's perfect.
33:50You can go back to Columbia.
34:13I'm at home tonight waiting for Glenn to come home.
34:16Again, we are not where we should be or where I would like us to be, but we are in
34:21a better
34:22space.
34:22What you got?
34:23Some pizza, of course.
34:25My favorite.
34:27So I want to just hop to him and catch up with him after this party.
34:33Hi.
34:33What's going on?
34:35Give me the cheek.
34:37What you want?
34:40Never mind.
34:41I know that I personally want to again say thank you for having my back with Selena's
34:4850th birthday party, and I appreciate that.
34:51I'm not going to let anybody else play with you like that ever again in life, not in my
34:54face.
34:55That's why I'm feeling like it's hard for me to accept where we are right now.
35:04Help me understand.
35:05You got things going on with your business.
35:08You got this talk show.
35:09So we haven't had one conversation about that.
35:12I don't know what's going on.
35:13You're happy with what you're doing.
35:15Why wouldn't I be happy?
35:16You're not happy?
35:18Do you feel like I'm going to bring bad energy to you or something?
35:20Is that why I'm not in any of your meetings with your focus group?
35:23You think my brain don't work like that or something?
35:26How is this being made about you?
35:27I'm looking at it from the point and the angle of let's build together.
35:33You want to build alone.
35:35I'm going to be honest.
35:37I know my worth.
35:37I'm more than a paycheck.
35:40Oh.
35:41Because that's the only time I get any attention when it's payday or she's horny.
35:45What?
35:46Kind of self-explanatory.
35:49You full of it.
35:50I'm not.
35:51I feel like you're doing this because you don't trust me.
35:55Number one.
35:56Two, it's just in case Glendale mess up again.
36:00I'm set up to where I could just, I'm gone.
36:03I want to make sure you just said you're not D in a paycheck.
36:06I want to make sure that I'm in situations because I want to be, not because I have to
36:12be or that I'm being like a slave to loyalty or a slave to history.
36:16And not only that, I'm not going to lie.
36:18You're right.
36:20It is a just in case.
36:23I'm not going to sit here and lie and say it's not.
36:25When you do that for a just in case, that means that you doubt everything that I'm doing.
36:30That simply means to me that we've attended this rodeo before.
36:34Okay.
36:35Okay.
36:35You take a sh** every day.
36:37Is it the same sh**?
36:39If you eat the same stuff.
36:41Oh my God.
36:43I'm just being honest.
36:44If this is what works for me, this is what works for me.
36:46It's not meant for everybody to understand.
36:48I don't want everybody to understand.
36:49This is what's working for me.
36:51And that's just what it is.
36:53That's not working for me.
36:54Okay.
36:55So, do that matter?
36:55Well, just let me just, that's just what it is right now.
36:59You was a housewife.
37:01But I'm not that anymore.
37:02If I start to rise above a certain expectation that you've set out for me to think that I
37:10don't need you, it's like, hold up.
37:12We're going to pump some brakes here.
37:14Do you feel like I put a ceiling over your head?
37:16I do.
37:18Right now, it's about my boundaries.
37:19Right now, it's about me.
37:21I've done the catering and the wife and the submission and doing everything you want me to do.
37:26Now, it's time for me to cater to myself.
37:28Well, I'm a grown-ass woman.
37:29You're a grown-ass man.
37:31And this is what I want to do.
37:32And, you know, you got Donald back around.
37:36He's the EP or whatever, your investor or whatever.
37:39What is the issue with Donald?
37:41To me, it's like you're leaning to another man when you have one.
37:47You want to be self-sufficient, but you have an investor, which is a man.
37:51Am I not enough?
37:53I know how men like that move.
37:58What do you mean, like that?
37:59I just know how men like that move.
38:01Like that?
38:01Stop playing.
38:02You owe them something.
38:03So you think I'm going to owe him something?
38:04Absolutely.
38:05And I'm not talking about a percent.
38:09Do you trust me?
38:12Well, that's my answer.
38:15In Glenn's opinion, Donald is a threat to our marriage.
38:17And he's absolutely not a threat.
38:19If anything, he's helping because he's pouring into me and he's investing into me.
38:25And he's giving great advice to me, which is going to help my family.
38:29I just want to lay out to you my process, if you would like to hear it.
38:34I'm listening.
38:34I'm always listening.
38:35I'm starting my financial journey.
38:37I do want to take a few thousand dollars out of the bank to put into a separate account.
38:45But I did go talk to an officer, and they can do what's called a secured loan.
38:52I've been researching all this stuff.
38:54I don't have a problem with that.
38:55Okay.
38:56But do you see how you research how to do that?
38:58How about you research how to trust your husband again?
39:02And I would do that.
39:03If that's what you...
39:04Because you're being funny?
39:05I'm not being funny.
39:07I'm telling you how I feel.
39:08You take it as a joke.
39:09That's why everything you say, you're not money, you're not this, you're not that.
39:12That's why I said I choose...
39:14I choose...
39:14I want to be celibate.
39:18Being celibate is more so for clarity.
39:21I just want to have understanding.
39:22I want to make sure that I'm making the right choices, the right decisions,
39:26and I'm not being, you know, brain fogged while I'm being brain fogged.
39:32You want me to fail.
39:33I'm not going to be here dry...
39:36Are you sound crazy as hell?
39:38No.
39:38You know what?
39:39No, you didn't even let me finish out the prayer with you.
39:41I don't even need to hear nothing else you got to say.
39:43You just said you don't want to your husband.
39:45No, I'm talking about energy.
39:47You crazy as hell.
39:48Okay.
39:48Well, I'll find you some good energy.
39:51You wouldn't even listen to what I was saying.
39:56Hello?
39:57Are you being serious right now?
39:59Dude, you just said that you got to be conscious of the energy going in you and all that dumb
40:04ass
40:04You didn't even let me get done.
40:06Glenn, if you leave, like, I'm done.
40:08Oh, God, I can't stand this dude.
40:13I'm sorry.
40:14Oh, this guy is like...
40:16Oh, wow.
40:17Literally, I'm going to, like, go off.
40:25Next time on Bell Collective.
40:28But you didn't even let me finish explaining.
40:30You just jumped up and live.
40:31If you don't want me, just tell me that so I can move the around.
40:36Selena's birthday party was pure freaking chaos.
40:39I don't know if things between the bells have ever been this bad.
40:43They need a little carapy.
40:44A what?
40:45My type of therapy, baby, for this group.
40:47Oh, God.
40:47Carrie, honey, if you don't have a magic potion, I don't think it's going to work.
40:53Oh, my God, don't tell me that.
40:55What happened?
40:56My woman found my daddy.
40:57I think he had a stroke.
41:00Daddy.
41:03See, I love you.
41:05Well, this is my friend, Alethea, and she is a relationship expert.
41:10I, mm-mm.
41:11When do I have to try whatever?
41:13You can get the up out of here.
41:15Golly.
41:15Listen to how you sound as educated black women.
41:21This is a Bell Collective?
41:23Well, let's start.
