00:01Dearly beloved, previously, we buried our differences.
00:05I am not above apologizing.
00:07We ain't going backwards.
00:08OK.
00:09We don't try to move forward.
00:11OK.
00:12Looked up too young.
00:13And I still do.
00:13It's love and respect.
00:18But something just won't die.
00:21You're going to stay out of my business.
00:23That one is.
00:25So, Tambor, are you willing to be a little more transparent?
00:28Right now, we're the who.
00:30There's no sister in it.
00:33Do you still want to be a part of the collective?
00:35I have to leave.
00:36I love you.
00:37Matt had shared with me that somebody had said something
00:40about a baby and Mike.
00:44If Mike stepped out on me and fathered a child,
00:47I would be gone.
01:19I didn't see it personally.
01:24So I couldn't really speak on it.
01:26I didn't see anything.
01:26The only thing I heard was from Mike.
01:28And then, no.
01:28Someone put that under a picture.
01:31Mm-hmm.
01:31Glenn posted a picture with him, Mike, and Cliff.
01:36And someone commented, somebody in this picture,
01:40they got a baby on the way.
01:41Mm.
01:42And they said, well, it's not Glenn this time.
01:44They said that.
01:45Oh, my God.
01:46And then they said it wasn't Cliff's son.
01:49People say anything.
01:50It is crazy.
01:51Can't you heard that?
01:52Because when I say I'm in the streets,
01:54y'all know y'all commented.
01:55We know you in the streets.
01:56I have never heard that.
01:58I have never heard it.
01:59Because your husband went to my husband.
02:01Who said what, ma'am?
02:02Your husband went to my husband.
02:04Oh, he did.
02:06Oh.
02:07Girl.
02:08I got to ask for me, baby.
02:10Marie did mention the baby rumor to me.
02:13But Mike already told me about this rumor.
02:15He came directly to me.
02:17Is this really the correct time?
02:20Knowing I am planning a wedding, I'm about to break.
02:45Hi.
02:46Hi.
02:47Hi, beautiful.
02:48I had no idea this is who I was talking to.
02:51Absolutely.
02:52Today we are at the Mississippi East Center.
02:54I am scouting for a location to host my upcoming talk show pilot focus group.
03:00It is set up classroom style, as you see.
03:03Mm-hmm.
03:03We do provide the projector and the screen.
03:05Okay.
03:06And a mic if needed.
03:07I'm doing a focus group.
03:08Okay.
03:08So that is actually perfect.
03:10Seeing the venue in person, I am so excited.
03:13This fits the image of everything that I envision for my focus group.
03:22Thank you for your time.
03:23I appreciate it.
03:24Okay.
03:25All right.
03:25See you soon.
03:26Hi.
03:28Hey.
03:28Hey, y'all.
03:29Right on time.
03:30Right on time.
03:31Hi.
03:31You look so pretty.
03:33Look at you, boy.
03:34How you doing?
03:35Good to see you.
03:36Good to see you.
03:37Y'all have a seat.
03:38Have a seat.
03:39Hey.
03:39So I definitely wanted y'all here.
03:42You know, I mean, we all know what happened at the photo shoot.
03:46How the f*** stands up to you, right?
03:52It's time I fall in.
03:54Yeah.
03:55We have to have respect.
03:56So with that being said, I definitely want to have a conversation with First.
04:02When it comes to Glenn and First, I know this is just not a healthy space to be in.
04:07This is very difficult for me.
04:10But I do know deep down, this is something that I have to do.
04:14Hi.
04:16Hey.
04:16How you doing?
04:17I'm fine.
04:18We're here with Ashley and Donald.
04:20Hey, guys.
04:21Hey.
04:21Hey.
04:22I love y'all, man.
04:23So you know what type of conversation we have to have.
04:26Okay.
04:26No problem.
04:27The photo shoot, that just went too far first in.
04:31It did.
04:31It's not too many things I regret in my life, Tisha.
04:34And that's one of them.
04:35And I'm truly sorry from the bottom of my heart.
04:39Mm-hmm.
04:40I accept your apology.
04:41I definitely accept at the end of the day.
04:44I just think, like, it's in the best interest right now for you to just go on and leave an
04:51absence.
04:53I think a leave an absence would be best for both sides.
04:57You know what I'm saying?
04:57Well, thank you, First.
04:58I appreciate everything that you've done.
05:00First is a major factor in my life.
05:03I learned a lot about management and the business.
05:08And this is someone who's very important in my business.
05:13And I know with his absence, there will definitely be a void.
05:17I think you made the right decision.
05:20And, Ashley, everything is gonna have to fall on you.
05:23Well, I've been telling you.
05:24Like, I'm gonna ride for you because you believed in me when I didn't believe in myself.
05:28Mm-hmm.
05:28The brand is gonna keep branding.
05:30It has to be.
05:31And I believe that everything is aligning.
05:33But right now, we're gonna move forward.
05:36Leticia, um, the focus group that we should have, what are you looking to get out of this that could
05:43help us move forward?
05:45Feedback.
05:46This thing is gonna be right from top to bottom.
05:48I wanted Lonnie Love to be a part of it.
05:51I think that her experience, her prior experience, will work great.
05:55And she's able to pour into me to help me broaden the vision.
06:00Lonnie Love is a powerhouse.
06:03She is a television host, a comedian, and she's all about women empowerment.
06:09As a woman who's built a successful career by using her voice unapologetically and really just being her authentic self
06:19resonates with me and where I am right now.
06:22I also want to invite all the Bells.
06:25We're all leaders.
06:26We're all business owners.
06:27We're all visionaries.
06:28And that's something that is important to me.
06:31I am in the headspace of making sure that the focus group stays grounded and professional.
06:37And it doesn't go like my photo shoot.
06:41Let's do it, y'all.
06:43Let's do it.
06:43We winning, baby.
06:44Let's make the money.
06:48Let's do it.
06:48What you knowin' about what I do?
06:50Cuz I do it so great stuff.
06:52What you knowin' about how I work?
06:54I be gettin' that paper.
06:57What you knowin' about how I dance?
06:59I'm a mover and shaker.
07:01Hey, Finker.
07:02What's up, Trace?
07:03So, what are we havin' today?
07:05Um, I think I could do a mocktail today.
07:08Just a mocktail?
07:09Yeah.
07:09With a long ass day?
07:10I'm here today at Taze getting some much needed work done.
07:14I mean, it feels good to just not have to focus
07:16on the Bell's drama, especially after what happened
07:19at the funeral.
07:20We in hot pursuit.
07:21See, we got the loop.
07:23Got nothing to prove.
07:24Might be the end for you.
07:28Hi, girl.
07:29Hi.
07:29Hi.
07:32I'm coming here to Taze to check in with my girl,
07:34Treese, after that mess of a friendship funeral.
07:37You know, I kind of want to do a temperature check with her
07:39because I know she was taken aback with some of my remarks.
07:42But at the end of the day, I think we're going to have
07:43a good old kiki and let the fun begin.
07:47We got so much to unpack from another night, girl.
07:49I thought I was going to a friendship funeral.
07:51Let's go back to the whole Selena situation.
07:54The one about Mike.
07:56And him having a baby with someone that's not Selena?
07:59When you put my husband into the equation.
08:01I'm sorry.
08:02And that really pissed me off because, like,
08:04when it comes to Mike and Selena, me and my husband,
08:06we ten toes down for them, for their whole union,
08:08for everything that they stand for.
08:10So my husband overheard Marie saying this.
08:15So he went to Matt and was like,
08:16hey, Matt, you know, Marie messy as she over there,
08:19you know, blah, blah, blah.
08:20So he's basically telling Matt, like, you know,
08:22Marie on some messy .
08:23I had been told that Marie said it to Selena at the party,
08:28at my birthday party.
08:29This was probably a conversation that you, Tisha, and Marie had.
08:33And it's easier.
08:35So I had heard it through Matt, through the guys having small talk.
08:40I was not, like, pushed to say it from them.
08:42I had, I promise, like, girl, on my mama, on my hood.
08:46Like, I don't.
08:47But I just probably put it on the guys
08:48because it's easier to just kind of throw it off on them.
08:51Babe, this is my husband.
08:53Now, what I'm not going to do is throw anything on Matt.
08:56Marie always say, stand in your
08:58standing your stand in your
09:00you the one brought it to the collective.
09:03This is typical Marie.
09:05She never takes accountability for anything that she ever does.
09:09And the fact that she still hasn't owned up
09:12to spreading the rumor about Mike and Selena
09:14is absolutely crazy.
09:16And I will say, I'm sorry for putting your husband in it.
09:19Hell, I put my husband in it, too.
09:21Do you accept my apology?
09:22I wasn't trying to be a mess.
09:24Thank you, girl.
09:25Thank you, girl.
09:26I feel that Treece moves differently with her husband than what I do.
09:31And I see that Treece don't play about hers.
09:34The real me, I don't believe in spreading rumors like that.
09:38But I hope that we can put this whole rumor to rest.
09:41And I hope that we can move forward in love and sisterhood.
09:45Are we good with the bells?
09:47Are you good with the bells?
09:48Yes.
09:49I am good with the bells.
09:51Good.
09:54Coming up on Bell Collective.
09:56I invited Shantae here because I feel like we're going to cut stuff off at the roof.
10:00The information was brought to me that, you know, her and DeMond are not together.
10:03They're basically two friends that decided that they want to have a baby.
10:07The collective, they had an obituary.
10:10One of the things that came up was, you have a baby on the way.
10:15How could something off of social media end up in the collective about my fiance?
10:22Who brought it to the collective?
10:47It's been a long time since me and Tambora actually had a private conversation.
10:52So with me being, you know, a leader, I want to reach out and see if we can catch up.
10:57I know you watch my every move.
11:01In the corner of my eye, I see you.
11:05You want to be me so bad, it's true.
11:09But you can't hit it and it's beating you.
11:19Hi.
11:20Hi, girl.
11:21Hi.
11:22This is so cool.
11:23Let me get out.
11:24Don't look up.
11:26It might be a little, it's just long.
11:28It is so long.
11:29It might be a little something going down.
11:31Letitia and I have not actually had a sit-down one-on-one with each other in years.
11:39What I will say, friend, is that I will try my best if I see anything or if I hear
11:45anything
11:45to try to, you know, keep everything cool so it won't ruin your party.
11:50Let's eat.
11:51Let's eat the food, honey.
11:53So today, we are meeting for the first time in years.
11:58How was the performance?
12:01I missed it.
12:02You missed the performance?
12:03Yeah.
12:04That's why you left the funeral.
12:06How did you miss it?
12:08I missed it.
12:08I got caught in traffic.
12:10My baby's first girl, I cried.
12:12Oh, no, you did.
12:13I cried.
12:14Did he video?
12:15Yeah, he sent me the video and she did amazing.
12:17Oh, my God.
12:17But it was the fact that I was not there.
12:20Yeah.
12:20I was so, I was mad at myself for about a few days.
12:23That's okay.
12:24You, hey, listen, you got a lifetime more to go, but I get it.
12:29How is your dad?
12:30He's better.
12:31Okay.
12:31Good.
12:31He is definitely better.
12:33And that's why my mom and my dad could not make it because he was actually in a rehab center.
12:40Oh, he had to do a rehab.
12:41Yeah.
12:42So my dad is doing much better than when he was in the hospital.
12:47Some days are very good.
12:50Some days are not so good.
12:51But every day, he's here.
12:55So I'm thankful for that.
12:56You know, and that was just because...
12:59Hi!
13:01Hey, sweetheart!
13:02Hey, hey, hey!
13:04I gotta hug my friend first.
13:05Yeah, yeah!
13:06Come on, Sam.
13:08Hi!
13:09Let's have to!
13:12Leticia did not even tell me someone was joining us today.
13:16We're bringing friends.
13:18I have friends.
13:19I could have brought a friend.
13:20This definitely feels like an ambush.
13:23I want to start a new beginning.
13:24I want to show loyalty.
13:26So that's why I invited Shantae here because I feel like we're going to cut stuff off at
13:30the roof.
13:31Shantae shared some information about Tambra.
13:34So I invited her here to lunch today.
13:37Unlike Tambra and Latrice, I believe in the girl code.
13:40Put your nose glib in my DM.
13:43What?
13:44Wait a minute.
13:45Glimbin in the DM.
13:46So Tambra should hear this directly from the horse's mouth.
13:50Shantae shared this information.
13:52She asked me, did I mind?
13:53And so what I'll start with this.
13:55The information was brought to me basically saying that, you know, her and Damana not together.
13:59They're basically two friends that decided that they want to have a baby.
14:02And I was like, what do you look like?
14:04Who is he?
14:04So I got a picture.
14:05What's his name?
14:14What?
14:15Did you know him?
14:17Girl, that's our client.
14:18He owns Dr. Zhu's clan.
14:20You don't put it.
14:21You're supporting your man.
14:22What you don't do as all their personality is date your clients, okay?
14:25You lose respect.
14:26Okay.
14:27Not ever happening.
14:30I should have known.
14:32I should have known.
14:34Shantae is here bringing some mess.
14:38Girl, I do not even know you.
14:40Now, T-shirt, since we're talking, one thing that Marie said was like, we need to tell who tells things.
14:47Yes.
14:48So, Amanda.
14:50Mm-hmm.
14:50Oh, God.
14:51What she shared with me, you have these things that come up with your marriage.
14:54Yes.
14:55And so she was trying to say that's because they have an open marriage.
14:59Oh!
15:01She actually said you and Glenn came to her for a threesome.
15:06Yeah!
15:07She want more 15 minutes.
15:08She's still searching for 15 minutes.
15:10I don't have them to give.
15:11And that's what we said.
15:11Girl, I think they put you in the threesome too, then.
15:14Oh, I'm just thinking about what I heard.
15:16You don't think you was in the threesome with her.
15:19You know, I usually don't share rumors.
15:21But since we want to talk about rumors, let's talk about rumors.
15:26Amanda actually told me that Glenn said that Letitia is okay with everything that he does.
15:34As long as she's included.
15:38We were thinking Glenn was cheating.
15:40And if Amanda is saying this, then he's not actually cheating.
15:45He's just doing what he's allowed to do.
15:47Whether it's true, whether it's not, whether you got a boo thing on the side.
15:51Whether you have a boo thing on the side.
15:53I know.
15:53Listen, Tamara, you know what?
15:55And if so, I deserve it.
15:57There is absolutely no truth to me and Glenn being in an open relationship.
16:02Stay out the comments.
16:03We are not in an open relationship.
16:05I can barely be in a closed, private relationship with him peacefully.
16:08So that is no truth to that.
16:11Let them do them.
16:12Right now, I am focused on what I have going on.
16:15I told you about my talk show.
16:17Yes, you did.
16:17So I'm having a focus group.
16:19Okay.
16:20And I would love for you to come, especially by you being a host.
16:24Definitely, I want you to show up.
16:25Well, I would be there because, you know, I love entertainment, honey.
16:27That's right up my alley.
16:29My focus right now is definitely not on the rumors.
16:32My focus is on my focus group.
16:34And I cannot be focused on the bulls**t.
16:37And plus, I really want Tambra to be there.
16:39This was great, Tambra.
16:41I think this is a start when hopefully you will feel comfortable.
16:44And we won't have to wait four years to have a private conversation again.
16:48So this is a start.
16:50Coming up on Bell Collective.
16:53Everybody's like talking.
16:55The baby, the baby.
16:56I'm trying to see who the-who the-
16:57I'm trying to see who I can trust.
16:59Why is this coming up and you know I'm in the process of planning a win?
17:24Hello, how are you?
17:26Hi, Maya.
17:27Hi.
17:27How can't get to see you?
17:29I know.
17:30This is my fiancée, Maya.
17:32Nice to meet you.
17:33All right, welcome.
17:35Mike and I are here at Protect Your Peace Studio.
17:38We have a wedding coming up.
17:40I'm just trying to get in shape with my man.
17:43And I want to do some aerial yoga.
17:46All right, so we haven't done aerial before.
17:49No.
17:49Okay, so this is going to be fun.
17:51It's a new experience.
17:52Okay, so have we done yoga?
17:54I've done some yoga.
17:55Okay, great.
17:56So we're going to do yoga, but we're going to support ourselves with the silks.
17:58And you can help her get into some of the poses.
18:00Oh, okay.
18:01Okay.
18:02Looking at how this aerial yoga room is set up, it's a little intimidating, but I am up
18:09for the challenge.
18:10Want to try a leg in the silk?
18:12Well, I can watch her do this.
18:13Okay.
18:13I can try a leg.
18:14Yeah, let her try a leg.
18:15So basically, you're just going to hold the silk out in front, and you're going to take
18:18your right foot, and we're going to place it in.
18:21Come on.
18:22No, you clogged his head.
18:24That's okay.
18:24Give me a leg, and I got you.
18:26Yep.
18:26Oh, look at that.
18:27We're just going to place it in.
18:28There you go.
18:29You want to try?
18:30I ain't going to try it.
18:31I ain't going to try it, yeah.
18:32I really wish Mike would have put more effort into it, but Mike is not feeling this.
18:39But if he wants to help me out, then go right ahead, because I definitely need some help
18:45over here.
18:46So we're going to stand up.
18:48So when we come up, so we're going to lean back, our feet come together, and we're going
18:52to come down.
18:53Let's go.
18:54Yep.
18:55Good job.
18:55Good job.
18:57Mike ain't going to be able to catch her ass.
19:00You're going to come back here, and then you bring your legs back.
19:03I'm going to fall on my face.
19:05You are not.
19:06See how tight this fabric is?
19:07You're not going nowhere.
19:08Keep your butt up, though.
19:09Wait.
19:09This, okay.
19:10So y'all thought I finna do this?
19:12Oh, heck no.
19:14You know she ain't finna do that.
19:16Tight?
19:17Outside?
19:17Outside, yeah.
19:18Yeah!
19:19That's it!
19:20I surprised myself.
19:23This is my very first time doing aerial yoga.
19:26This is all beginner, I promise.
19:28Back at the beginning of what?
19:30And for me to get up there and do it.
19:33Okay, y'all want to take a break for a moment?
19:35Yes, ma'am.
19:36You know, I can just pat myself on the back.
19:39So I was on the road.
19:40Oh, everything good?
19:42How about you?
19:42What you been doing?
19:43Me and the girls met up the collective.
19:47They had an obituary.
19:48So we can just, I guess, squash everything
19:51and put everything out on the table.
19:54One of the things that came up
19:56was you have a baby on the way.
20:00So who about to say that?
20:02Keri mentioned it.
20:03Hearing Selena tell me about a baby room,
20:05I'm like, man, what?
20:07It really was funny to me
20:08because, I mean, I knew it wasn't real.
20:10I think it was a big deal to her though.
20:12It wasn't nothing to me, though.
20:15What was on the internet?
20:16I need to see this baby my dad.
20:19I was like, and I said that too.
20:21I said, me and Mike still looking for the baby.
20:23Where is the baby?
20:25But I just let the ladies know
20:26that I'm aware of this rumor.
20:28You already came to me
20:29as soon as it came to you.
20:31But once I left,
20:33I just started thinking like,
20:34okay, when Keri mentioned it to me,
20:38now y'all want to chime in.
20:39Y'all should have told me this at first.
20:42Keri been here for two seconds.
20:43So if she know...
20:45So somebody told her
20:46if she can go on and see it then
20:47because they probably scared to see it.
20:49Who the hell even brought that up
20:51in the collective?
20:52So they ain't say who said it?
20:54Somebody brought it up.
20:55Everybody's like talking.
20:57The baby, the baby.
20:58Like, why is this coming up
21:00and you know I'm in the process
21:03of planning a wedding?
21:05I know Keri brought up the baby situation.
21:07I know Marie tried to warn me
21:11that it may come up in the collective.
21:14But then I'm like,
21:15who else knew about this
21:17and then tell me?
21:18I feel a little betrayed.
21:19We're talking about this sisterhood.
21:21If this is supposed to be a sisterhood,
21:24maybe I don't need to be a part of it.
21:26So we got some work to do.
21:28Finish up this wedding.
21:30I need to talk to these ladies.
21:32Get to work.
21:33Get to work.
21:34Yeah.
21:35I'm definitely not going to get back on it.
21:38Let's go on sneak on out of here
21:40because if she come back up in here,
21:42she's going to put my ass up there
21:43and I'm not trying to do this.
21:44We did at the same time.
21:47My back said, no.
21:51No, no.
21:53Coming up,
21:54Keri came here after she tried
21:56to put you in the middle of a situation.
21:59Me and Mike had talked.
22:00Mike said, there's no baby out there.
22:02So people are lying.
22:04Trying to put me in it.
22:06I ain't in it.
22:15Baby, trust me, I love you.
22:19All right, what we got?
22:20I took the culinary kit off.
22:22I added naps and I added gloves
22:24because that would be probably
22:25the cheapest thing we can get
22:26in the gloves and the cups I got.
22:28But we have a lot of gloves.
22:29We had like eight boxes last week.
22:32Boxes gone.
22:33Texas has been open for a year now
22:35and business is great.
22:37Having a restaurant is one of the hardest,
22:41hardest jobs I have ever had to do.
22:43But I'm here.
22:45We're at year one
22:46and I couldn't be more proud.
22:48Hi, honey.
22:50Where you coming from?
22:52I've been upstairs.
22:53What's up?
22:53What you doing up there?
22:55Relaxing until you call.
22:59So everything going.
23:00See, you talking to the chef
23:01and everything, so...
23:02We was just trying to compare prices
23:04on foods because we're about
23:05to do a new menu.
23:06So I want to make sure
23:08that it's priced right
23:09and affordable so that, you know,
23:11we don't have any issues.
23:13Hopefully we can get that going
23:15and, yeah, be good with everything.
23:20And what else is going on with Taste?
23:22You are the owner of Taste as well.
23:24I told you you have to kick in.
23:26I run serving division
23:28and you run serving division.
23:29So I do my part.
23:31And you update me on the other part.
23:34But it would be nice
23:35if you can help out a little bit more.
23:37You didn't even go with me
23:38to the meeting at the church.
23:41A few of the neighbors
23:42have been complaining
23:43about noise, parking.
23:46So I went to a community meeting
23:47at a local church
23:48to just try to resolve
23:50some of those issues
23:51and those worries.
23:52I'm definitely not here
23:54to be problematic.
23:55Listen, the meeting
23:56at the church was crazy
23:57because they talked
23:58about the music.
23:59When we got down
23:59to the bottom of it,
24:01then they said,
24:02oh, it's the music
24:03from the cars riding by.
24:04And I was like,
24:05we can't control cars
24:07riding by you guys' spot.
24:09So they said
24:10that we were open
24:11all time of the night.
24:12I pulled up my camera.
24:14I said, listen,
24:14we're closed at this time.
24:16You're closed at one.
24:17Once I pulled the video up,
24:19they was like,
24:20well, you know,
24:21they're so consistent
24:22with trying to say
24:24we're a nuisance
24:25when that's not true at all.
24:27You worry about these people.
24:28I don't.
24:29Well, I take all the worry
24:31off you
24:31so you don't have to worry.
24:32You don't even go
24:33to the meetings.
24:34There ain't no point
24:34going to the meetings.
24:35It's still gonna end
24:36the way it's gonna end.
24:37It's gonna end
24:37the way it's gonna end.
24:38So, the bills.
24:39Carrie came here
24:41after the whole funeral thing
24:42that I did with Letitia.
24:44I had to let her know
24:45that I felt some type of way
24:46because she tried to put you
24:48in the middle of a situation.
24:50That had shared with me
24:51that somebody had said something,
24:53something about a baby and Mike.
24:56It is crazy.
24:57Carrie heard that
24:58because I have never heard that.
25:00I didn't really heard it
25:01because y'all heard me
25:02the one thing I heard of it.
25:03Oh, he did!
25:06Me and Mike had talked.
25:07Mike said
25:08there's no baby out there.
25:09Right.
25:09So, people are lying
25:11trying to put me in it.
25:13I ain't in it.
25:14I almost outread
25:15because I'm, you know,
25:16because I know
25:17what it is and what it's not
25:19and I know that you
25:20wouldn't dare
25:21do anything like this.
25:23Right.
25:23I'm trying to figure out
25:24why these bills,
25:26Selena's a bill.
25:28Why are you trying
25:28to destroy her marriage
25:29even though she get married?
25:31That's where I look at it.
25:32I just hate that
25:33that Carrie puts you
25:35in the equation
25:35because anything
25:37that's dealing
25:37with a collective,
25:38it needs to stay
25:39within a collective.
25:40Like, women business
25:41is women business.
25:42To me, it didn't matter
25:43to my wife.
25:44She was upset about it
25:45because, number one,
25:46if the baby is out there,
25:48it's gonna come out again.
25:50So, I know these bills,
25:52they gonna dig
25:52and they gonna be
25:54looking for a baby.
25:56But I do believe in peace.
25:58I'm going through
25:58so many health issues,
25:59I need peace.
26:01Have you scheduled
26:02the surgery?
26:03Yes.
26:04I actually did
26:05schedule the surgery.
26:06It's in two weeks
26:07and, yeah,
26:08I think I'm gonna just
26:09take the rest of the month
26:10afterwards and just,
26:11you know, take it easy.
26:13Until...
26:14Take a step
26:14before the surgery
26:16and relax.
26:17You're gonna need
26:17to go in surgery
26:17all tensed up.
26:18Are you gonna be
26:19in surgery the entire time?
26:21Yeah, I'll be there.
26:21Now, you left last
26:22having my mama
26:23had some stay there with me.
26:26I ain't leaving
26:26here in surgery.
26:27You did?
26:28I left to go get lunch.
26:30You feel well.
26:31You was in surgery
26:32and knocked down.
26:33You didn't know
26:34I left until you
26:35came back, too.
26:35So, how you know?
26:37Anything could've happened,
26:38like, within those
26:39hour, 30 minutes.
26:41You already at the hospital.
26:42I'm dying 9-1-1.
26:43My wife and her problems.
26:44Baby, you doctor's gap.
26:45There ain't nothing
26:45I can do.
26:45It doesn't matter.
26:46My husband left me
26:47at the hospital alone
26:48on my birthday
26:49and our anniversary.
26:51I felt abandoned
26:52and I felt disrespected.
26:55I'm not worried
26:56when the new surgery comes
26:57because I know
26:59how much my husband
26:59loves me
27:00and I feel that
27:01he'll be right there
27:02by my side
27:03100% the entire time.
27:05I was still in the hospital.
27:07I did not leave the hospital.
27:08Whatever.
27:08Okay.
27:09I felt like you did.
27:12Coming up,
27:13anything that comes out,
27:15let's talk about it.
27:16I'd rather a bell
27:17come to me.
27:18If you irrelevant,
27:19if you outside
27:20of the collective,
27:21we are a group.
27:22Any outside noise,
27:23it shouldn't be there.
27:24So, Shantae is
27:25outside noise.
27:26Shantae is Shantae.
27:27Woo!
27:28Got the venom,
27:29that power to burn.
27:30Don't do drama yet,
27:32do it all right.
27:33No change,
27:35no fear.
27:36Running wild
27:37in your veins in here.
27:39Today is the focus group
27:41and I'm so excited.
27:42I've invited all the bells
27:44and I'm looking forward
27:46to their feedback.
27:48Just put all that out.
27:49This is everything
27:50right here.
27:53Hey, boy.
27:54How you doing?
27:55How you doing?
27:55How you doing?
27:56How you doing?
27:57Oh, this is easy.
27:59Hey!
28:00Hey!
28:00Yeah, yes.
28:00You look so pretty to me.
28:03Ooh!
28:04I am so glad
28:05that the bells
28:05are here to support me.
28:06This is what
28:07the collective is about.
28:08Thank you for coming.
28:10Thank you for coming.
28:12All right,
28:13thank you, thank you.
28:16It's a little late.
28:17We don't know you're fine.
28:18And it feels like community,
28:19so I'm definitely glad
28:20that they're here today.
28:21Thank you guys so much.
28:24I appreciate it
28:24for y'all coming out.
28:26I invited you guys here
28:27because I wanted to share
28:29my latest endeavor.
28:31I have a talk show,
28:33The Letitia Pearson Show,
28:34and I would love
28:35to get your feedback.
28:36Okay?
28:37I'm gonna sit here.
28:38We're gonna watch it.
28:41Talk to The Letitia Pearson Show,
28:44where purpose meets power
28:45and where real people
28:46share their real stories.
28:48And today,
28:49we're talking about
28:50what it means to evolve
28:51gracefully
28:52while the world is watching.
28:54Please help me welcome
28:55my dear friend,
28:56Letitia Scott!
28:59I feel like I need to
29:00like a dance.
29:01Oh!
29:03Oh, my God!
29:06We're watching the pilot,
29:07and as we're watching,
29:09everyone's quiet.
29:10Like, it is super quiet.
29:12I don't know what
29:13people are thinking.
29:14I don't know
29:15what they're gonna say.
29:16I don't know
29:16what Lonnie is going to say.
29:18Oh, this is the longest time
29:20in my life,
29:21and I hope that it stays positive
29:24with constructive criticism.
29:26We out here hustling,
29:27out here doing something,
29:28having the kids,
29:29getting back to business.
29:30What does balance look like
29:32for you right now
29:33in this season of your life?
29:34You know, Letitia,
29:36Letitia.
29:37Oh, girl!
29:39That's actually, like,
29:40something that I'm dealing
29:41with my husband right now.
29:43Oh.
29:43Because...
29:44Balancing comes
29:45at different seasons
29:46of life.
29:47You're half paying
29:48any attention
29:49to Letitia's show.
29:52You said I was
29:53half paying attention?
29:54It has to keep
29:54my attention.
29:56This is her purpose.
29:58This is something
29:58she has been talking
29:59about for years.
30:00This is totally
30:02in her element.
30:03I see her
30:05really lifting
30:06other women up.
30:07With a little bit
30:08more practice,
30:09I feel like Letitia
30:10will be ready
30:11in no time.
30:13Just not right now.
30:14It's a lie.
30:16We'll be right back
30:17after the break.
30:19Yes!
30:19Thank you!
30:20You gave me an ovation.
30:22I'm a surprise.
30:23Thank y'all.
30:24I appreciate y'all so much.
30:25Thank you so much.
30:26But first,
30:27I do have a surprise.
30:29I have Lonnie Love
30:30who is going to provide
30:31her feedback.
30:31We sent the clip
30:32over as well
30:33so she's been able
30:34to watch it.
30:35So after we hear
30:36her feedback,
30:38then I would love
30:39to get your feedback.
30:40Okay?
30:41Oh, wow.
30:42Hello, girl.
30:44We in the big leagues now.
30:46I know.
30:47Child,
30:47now the fact that
30:48Letitia done brought
30:49Lonnie Love
30:50up on the screen
30:51to give her feedback.
30:53Damn,
30:53my feedback, baby.
30:54Lonnie Love
30:55is actually a big deal.
30:56That is a huge deal.
30:58Of course,
30:58Lonnie Love's opinion
30:59is validated.
31:00Of course.
31:01We love Lonnie Love.
31:02Okay?
31:03Okay, Lonnie.
31:04Can you see us out here?
31:06Yep,
31:06I can see everybody.
31:07Okay.
31:07Hi, everyone.
31:08Hi.
31:10First of all,
31:11I am always excited
31:13when a woman of color
31:15gets her own show.
31:16Letitia has this great voice
31:18that needs to be heard.
31:20Lighting is very important,
31:22so makeup is also important
31:24to help us blend
31:25with the lighting.
31:26Other than that,
31:28I will say,
31:29as the host,
31:30sometimes we're listening
31:32so intently
31:33that we're answering
31:34with our guests.
31:36So in television,
31:37try to just listen to them.
31:39I think that you have
31:40a really, really good future
31:43in talk show,
31:44and your voice
31:45is definitely needed.
31:50Honey,
31:50you gotta come be on my show,
31:51okay?
31:53Okay?
31:54Okay?
31:55I love that Lonnie
31:56loved what she saw.
31:58Woo,
31:59I was so nervous,
32:00now I'm relieved.
32:01And let's see what
32:02the Bells got to say
32:03and their feedback.
32:04Fran,
32:05I am beyond
32:07proud of you.
32:10My feedback would be,
32:12your makeup was flawless,
32:14beautiful,
32:14however you had
32:15the shine in your neck.
32:16Okay.
32:17I feel like when
32:17they're shooting,
32:19go just to the edge
32:20of the backdrop.
32:21Got it.
32:21So it just stays,
32:22like,
32:23in the scene or whatever.
32:25Got it.
32:25You know,
32:25that was kind of...
32:25That makes...
32:26Okay,
32:26I see what you're saying.
32:27The only thing
32:27that I would say
32:28is because y'all interact,
32:30because y'all are actually friends,
32:31sometimes y'all were talking
32:32at the same time.
32:33Mm-hmm.
32:33That's the only thing
32:34that I would say.
32:35This is definitely
32:36your calling,
32:36like Marie said.
32:37We all know that
32:38you are the speaker
32:39in the group.
32:40The lighting,
32:42I didn't...
32:42I didn't like the lighting.
32:43In the beginning,
32:44when it first came on,
32:45I felt like you were produced.
32:47And then,
32:47when your guests came,
32:49you were comfortable.
32:51Mm-hmm.
32:51That's when
32:51your personality
32:53really started
32:54to come out.
32:55The feedback
32:56from the Bells
32:57was definitely
32:58constructive criticism,
32:59and I appreciate it
33:00wholeheartedly.
33:01I've been through
33:02so much over the years,
33:04so, so, so much.
33:05That I deserve this win.
33:07I've been in ups.
33:09I've had downs.
33:10But it seems like
33:11I've had more downs
33:12than ups.
33:13So, finally,
33:14I feel like
33:16I'm on the up and up,
33:17and I'm here to stay.
33:18Tisha, you washed
33:19these fruits.
33:19I did.
33:20I washed them
33:21after I picked them
33:22out of my vineyard.
33:24Oh, gosh.
33:25But, no, seriously,
33:26thank y'all so much,
33:26for real.
33:27This is, like,
33:28this feels great
33:29to have y'all here.
33:30I did want to talk to you,
33:31because talking to Tambra,
33:32she did share with me
33:34since the, um,
33:36what we got?
33:36The funeral.
33:38You was like,
33:38girl, that was a mess.
33:40And I said, no,
33:41we took a picture
33:42and we hugged.
33:43But after I left,
33:44I just started thinking.
33:46I was like,
33:47how could something
33:49off of social media
33:51end up in the collective
33:53about my fiance?
33:54I just have one question.
33:57Who brought it
33:58to the collective?
34:10How could something
34:12off of social media
34:14end up in the collective
34:16about my fiance?
34:18I just have one question.
34:20Who brought it
34:22to the collective?
34:28That's what I want to know.
34:33Oh, my God.
34:34This is so frustrating.
34:36Like, nobody wants
34:38to confess.
34:39I mean, Marie is the one
34:41who brought it
34:41to my attention
34:42and you don't have
34:43the picture?
34:44Like, are you kidding me?
34:47I didn't bring it
34:47to the collective.
34:48We were at Taste
34:49and Glenn, Mike,
34:51and Cliff,
34:52they took a picture.
34:53Right.
34:54Glenn put it
34:54on his social media page.
34:56Somebody took the picture
34:57and put it on
34:58in one of the blogs.
35:00In one of those.
35:01And it said
35:02somebody on this picture
35:03got a baby
35:03and it wasn't.
35:04But it didn't say who.
35:05And so,
35:06I brought it to Letitia
35:07because they didn't
35:08specify who it was.
35:10How long ago was that?
35:11Like, a year ago?
35:12But turns out
35:15Karen knew about it
35:16because she said
35:17she got it from
35:19her husband.
35:20Her husband got it
35:20from Cliff,
35:22Latrice's husband.
35:23So.
35:23Oh, so they saying
35:24Cliff is there.
35:25When you were sitting there?
35:26But, and, Treice,
35:26you know,
35:27you and I talked about it.
35:28And I mean,
35:28you know, like,
35:29I was not trying
35:30to throw your husband
35:30under the bus at all
35:31or mine.
35:32I just was like,
35:33that's kind of
35:34where I'd heard it.
35:34But somebody else
35:35mentioned it because
35:35they said that you
35:36had sent it at the party.
35:37One thing about it,
35:38my husband don't play
35:39those type of games.
35:40He do not get in marriages,
35:41especially Selena.
35:42And Mike's like...
35:43So did he say
35:43he told Matt that?
35:45Yeah, he definitely
35:46mentioned it to Matt,
35:46but this is the reason
35:47why he said he mentioned it.
35:49You was having a conversation.
35:50Some people overheard you.
35:51Oh, no.
35:53No, no, Matt.
35:53Look, that's,
35:54that, that, that,
35:55now that's a big lie.
35:56Well, listen,
35:56this was at Carrie's party.
35:58That's not true.
35:59Y'all, you trying
35:59to take it off of
36:00Cliff telling Matt.
36:02I had the conversation
36:03with someone.
36:03I said my husband
36:04told Matt.
36:05So what y'all
36:05not gonna do
36:06is put it on my husband.
36:07That's not the truth.
36:08Nobody didn't hear me
36:09talking about that.
36:10That's not true.
36:11So you knew
36:12about this
36:13when I came to you
36:14about Mike and I
36:16communication
36:17problem.
36:18I cannot go
36:19into this marriage
36:20without
36:22communication.
36:23Maybe we all need
36:23to have a conversation,
36:24me, you, him, and Glenn.
36:25And why you didn't
36:26say anything to me
36:27then?
36:28Because I don't have
36:30any concrete evidence.
36:32If I had it
36:33and it came to me,
36:35I'd have been like,
36:36Mike, let's have
36:36this conversation.
36:37Well, Glenn,
36:38go talk to Mike.
36:38But I will say this.
36:40It's not like
36:41it's another woman.
36:41It's a baby.
36:42So a baby gonna
36:43materialize.
36:44In a year's time,
36:46the baby would've
36:46came out.
36:47Right.
36:48Because I want to know
36:49how it got in the group.
36:50Especially now,
36:51if it came out
36:52a year ago,
36:53why now,
36:54right before
36:54I'm about to get married?
36:55So that's what I'm
36:56trying to get to
36:56the bottom of.
36:57Got it.
36:57So I'm like,
36:58they should've said
36:58something a year ago,
37:00not while I'm
37:01planning a wedding.
37:02Right.
37:02I just feel like
37:03in the collective,
37:05a lot of people
37:05are not being transparent.
37:07I just want to get
37:08to the bottom
37:08of everything
37:09so I can move forward.
37:13Let me.
37:14Yeah, because you know,
37:15I don't play by my husband.
37:16No, and, you know,
37:17Treese, even...
37:17Well, you said
37:18no backpedal.
37:19No, no, no,
37:19I'm not backpedaling.
37:20I'm frontpedaling
37:21because I would like
37:22for this to be dead.
37:23You said you found out
37:26it tastes
37:28or was it prior?
37:30Well, I heard it
37:32from the guys.
37:33So, you know,
37:35I mean,
37:36for any distress,
37:37I sincerely,
37:37from the bottom of my heart,
37:38apologize for even
37:39bringing it up.
37:39I, you know,
37:40I was thinking
37:41under the guise of us
37:42bringing everything
37:43to the table
37:43and I know that
37:44there's some hurt with that
37:45and I'm sorry
37:46for my role in that.
37:47Anything that comes out,
37:49let's talk about it.
37:50Let's not bring rumors
37:51because rumors
37:52at the end of the day
37:53are just rumors
37:54and stop outside people
37:55from coming
37:56into the collective.
37:57Well, since we're talking.
37:59Shantae actually showed up
38:00at our lunch too.
38:02Shantae brought her own
38:03information to me
38:05that
38:07Devon and I
38:08were not together,
38:11that we'd been friends
38:13and we decided
38:14to have a baby together
38:15as friends.
38:16So I got it right?
38:17Okay.
38:18And, um,
38:19I've had a boyfriend
38:20this entire time,
38:21but she brought
38:22a picture of the man.
38:24No, it was, okay,
38:26can I just send
38:27my own information
38:28and I just send
38:29my own information?
38:30Girl.
38:30Okay.
38:31So basically...
38:31That's some bullshit information.
38:33Well, you can call it
38:34whatever you want,
38:34but I'm gonna defend it.
38:35It was basically
38:36brought to me on some,
38:37you know,
38:38she got this situation
38:39with this guy
38:40that, you know,
38:41she's been dealing with
38:41like forever
38:42since she was younger.
38:43That's what was brought to me.
38:45But how did it feel to you?
38:46It felt ridiculous
38:47because when they showed me
38:48the picture,
38:49it's actually a client
38:49of our station.
38:51Oh, Lord.
38:52So it felt ridiculous.
38:55A boyfriend can be a client?
38:56No, and that's what
38:56we're not gonna do.
38:57No, I'm just saying.
38:58No, no, no, no,
38:58let's roll it back
38:59because that's a narrative
39:00we're not gonna do
39:00because I've worked
39:01for everything that I had.
39:02That was my first time
39:03ever sitting down
39:04with you, Shantae.
39:05My very first time.
39:07And I felt like
39:08I was getting hit with BS.
39:09But like you said
39:10something earlier,
39:11if you don't really have
39:12any type of proof,
39:14I'm with that
39:15and we can't really
39:16go off of rumors.
39:17I'd rather a bell
39:19come to me.
39:20If you irrelevant,
39:20if you outside
39:21of the collective,
39:22we are a group.
39:23Any outside noise,
39:25it shouldn't be there.
39:26I believe Shantae
39:27is the biggest
39:28outside noise
39:29that the collective
39:31definitely needs
39:32to keep out.
39:33We're building again.
39:35We want it back
39:36bigger and stronger
39:37than ever.
39:38And we can't do that
39:39with outside noise
39:41like Shantae.
39:42So Shantae is
39:42outside noise.
39:43Shantae is Shantae.
39:45And later in the car,
39:46Shantae, I was like,
39:47why am I gonna
39:47be sending myself
39:48with Shantae?
39:48After the focus group win,
39:50I'm glad that the collective
39:51could air out
39:52whatever we had
39:53to air out
39:53in this moment.
39:54However,
39:55I'm not a fool
39:56and I know this group.
39:58Something else
39:59is gonna pop up
39:59at a later time
40:00or later date.
40:01But right now,
40:02I'm gonna rejoice
40:04in my win.
40:05So once again,
40:07anything that's happened
40:09before the focus group
40:11is done.
40:12It's dead.
40:12Let's move forward.
40:13Where the candles at?
40:14We don't need no more.
40:15Where's the sage, Latrice?
40:17We need the sage.
40:18Thank y'all so much.
40:19We ready?
40:20Yeah, we ready.
40:21And I follow this.
40:23I'm proud of you.
40:30And I hope you just
40:31continue to grow.
40:34Next on Bell Collective.
40:36So, quick question
40:37was first,
40:38Ed, you know,
40:40focus.
40:40You know,
40:41I did put him
40:42on a leave of absence
40:42because I want to.
40:46So what do you want me
40:47to do?
40:48I think you should fire him
40:49and hire me
40:51as your manager.
40:52I don't know.
40:53Do I need to invite everybody
40:54to do a whole reintroduction
40:55since they act like
40:56they don't know me?
40:56Do we need to do that?
40:58You know what?
40:58That better be killed.
41:00I think it's to the point.
41:01Hi.
41:04Is that heavy?
41:05Is that a heavy one?
41:06Nah.
41:09Oh.
41:12Showtime.
41:13Woo!
41:13Out of the house.
41:15Wow.
41:18Welcome.
41:19Welcome.
41:19To the Museum of Canberra.
