00:00Previously on Bell Collective.
00:02We just finished the condos upstairs.
00:05So we wanted to do the Airbnbs, but we're getting
00:07pushed back from the neighborhood.
00:09They want to paint us as a nuisance.
00:12This is a white neighbor.
00:14Yes.
00:15What's the update on the mobile location?
00:17We don't have that many interested buyers.
00:18Now is a waiting period.
00:20We have 20 people working for us.
00:21I don't want them to just have to lose their job.
00:23With all due respect, by not making a decision,
00:25it is starting to feel kind of selfish to me.
00:28You have five boys, right?
00:30They came back, so I have to get another surgery.
00:33And I came to the conclusion that I do want to have a baby.
00:38Yes!
00:39You're just talking about it's always people
00:41on the outside that's bringing the rumors to us.
00:44With Tisha's friend, I'm like, I don't even know this girl.
00:48And you're bringing me, you're bringing me some men.
00:51Something should click in your damn head.
00:53This girl should have been to divorce me 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 time.
00:57This girl should have been left my ass.
00:58You don't want to have your hand in it because you want to help me.
01:00You want to have your hand in it so that you can control me.
01:07You don't have to worry about the same thing.
01:10Call me up, give me a ring ring.
01:12And I'll be there if you need me.
01:16Real fast and a tip day.
01:18You know I'm going to show up for you.
01:21Show up.
01:21All the time, all the time.
01:24I'm seeing a financial advisor today so that I can get my finances in order.
01:28Glenn has been the primary leader in that department when it comes to our household.
01:34Hi.
01:35Hey.
01:36Beautiful.
01:37How are you?
01:39And I want to educate myself and not only educate myself, but line up my finances as well.
01:45The last time we saw each other, I was interviewing you at the Black Women's Business Expo.
01:51A couple of months before COVID.
01:53Yes, yes.
01:54Well, you look amazing.
01:56Now tell me, what prompted you to say, okay, I need to get the appointment and I need to do
02:00it now?
02:01I'm still married.
02:02I'm still married to Glenn.
02:03Do you remember Glenn?
02:04Yes, I remember Glenn.
02:04Yes, still married to Glenn.
02:06But where I am now, it's about financial independence.
02:09Like, I am standing on my own.
02:12Yes.
02:13It's time to take this to another level.
02:14I just got some things for you, like a couple of 1099s, my W-2s.
02:19I have a screenshot of my bank account.
02:21Okay.
02:21First of all, kudos to you having all your papers together.
02:25And this meeting came at a time when you're ready to put all these things in order.
02:28Yeah, absolutely.
02:29So when we talk about putting things in order, we talk about protection first.
02:34Mm-hmm.
02:35What are you doing to protect your money today and tomorrow?
02:38Do we have life insurance on ourself and everybody in the household?
02:42We do. I do.
02:42Next thing, any retirement accounts that you have for you, not Glenn.
02:47Not for me.
02:47Okay. Do you have any investments currently?
02:52No.
02:53Okay.
02:54With doing all that you do, what right now is your biggest concern?
03:01Finding my own independence.
03:02Yes.
03:03And standing on my own.
03:04We're setting these things up for you so you can be financially stable,
03:07no matter what season of life you're in, whether that means walking alone or walking with anyone.
03:14Yeah.
03:14Okay?
03:15After this blow up at the photo shoot, everything that I thought was impossible is now possible.
03:22I'm just in a season of my life of protecting everything for me.
03:26So for clarity, I know we hear all the time, oh, you signed a prenup, you signed a prenup.
03:31Yes.
03:31That's before you go on to the marriage.
03:34Yes.
03:34Can you like make it clear, clarify, what is the post-nup, like nuptial?
03:40What does that look like?
03:41That's a good question.
03:42So just like a prenup was a legal agreement, post-nuptials are too.
03:46Mm-hmm.
03:47And you get to determine that while the marriage is still going on.
03:50So you get to determine what are we going to continue to share, which is going to be
03:55completely mine, these assets that you have, that you've accrued while we've been together.
04:02Having a post-nup, especially at this stage in my life, is very important.
04:05I have worked so hard, and right now stuff is really taking out for me.
04:10So I want to make sure that my business and my assets, that everything is protected.
04:15So listen, this off the record a little bit.
04:17Yeah.
04:18So my husband, he's asked to be like my manager, right?
04:21Yeah.
04:22So my question for you is, should I consider allowing him to be my manager?
04:30So you can step out and be CEO, president of your brand, and also hire someone to be
04:38the manager.
04:39Mm-hmm.
04:39And let him be as an advisory role.
04:41Okay.
04:42That's a conversation I have to have with Glenn.
04:44Yeah.
04:44I hope that Glenn is on page with everything that I have going on, and this will, for one,
04:50help us move forward and establish trust.
04:55Yeah.
04:56Yeah.
04:59Hey, I'm so pricey, pricey, pricey.
05:02All this money, it get crazy.
05:04Icy, icy, icy, all these diamonds on me lately.
05:06I've been shining, shining, shining.
05:08I'm too cool.
05:09I'm too wet.
05:10Jonathan.
05:12Therese.
05:12Oh, my God.
05:13This looks so good.
05:15You like it?
05:16Yes.
05:17I'm proud.
05:19I am proud.
05:21My godson, Jess, opened up a gentleman's club,
05:23and I thought that it would be a great idea to bring Marie.
05:27I'm super excited to walk Marie on the wild side
05:30and see what she really wants.
05:32I got all the boys knocking at the door.
05:35Line up when you want them all.
05:37But it ain't easy getting too late.
05:43Hi.
05:43Hi, Marie.
05:44How you doing?
05:47This is my godson, Jonathan.
05:49Hi, Jonathan.
05:50I'm Trin' Godson.
05:50This is Marie.
05:52Yeah, let me show y'all the aisle six feet.
05:53I'm like, girl, get out of my face.
05:56The last time I've been to a strip club,
05:58it was a very long time ago.
06:01But I did have fun.
06:04I am a little nervous.
06:07But hey, you know, I can adapt to any situation.
06:11I'm here.
06:12Oh, not the bottom, huh?
06:13Marie, I brought you here so you can loosen up, huh?
06:16I'm loosening up.
06:17Look, this caffeine gonna loosen me up.
06:18The caffeine gonna loosen you up.
06:20Yeah.
06:20Because we got to get you a man from the end.
06:22All right.
06:22The best way to get a man.
06:24Talk to me.
06:25What's the best way to get a man?
06:26See, you work so much.
06:28But when it's time to play, it's time to play.
06:29Let me loosen up.
06:30And I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't.
06:32Body, come on, let's get low.
06:35Yes.
06:36So we have to loosen up.
06:37And you remember when we was at, um, Tamara's event,
06:40and you told us about your little rendezvous.
06:42When I was 18 years old,
06:45I had a threesome.
06:50Wait, that was so long ago.
06:52I was a dead actor.
06:54See, I want you to be for sure as well.
06:58So let's play a game.
06:59OK, sis, you like playing games.
07:01True or false?
07:01Before you got married to your husband,
07:03you dated a woman before, right?
07:06No.
07:07Trace.
07:08I never.
07:09Come on, Sandra.
07:10See, you know what?
07:11I'm not you.
07:12I'm not you.
07:13No.
07:15Latrice.
07:15I have never.
07:17Maria's the queen of deflection.
07:19The fact that every time I ask her,
07:21do she like women, and she can't give me a straight answer,
07:24but directs it back to me, tells me everything
07:26that I need to know.
07:28I'm glad ain't none of the other bells here.
07:31Wait a minute.
07:32So, you know, speaking about the other bells,
07:36it's been a lot of outside noise.
07:38You know, with Shantae.
07:39But Latrice, I just wanted to have, like,
07:42a quick little moment to see if you felt any differently
07:45about the situation between you and Tisha.
07:48Oh, you Tisha's friend.
07:49You ain't got nothing to say to me.
07:50She comes around, Latisha, her events all the time.
07:54My thing is, how Shantae's trying to check somebody,
07:57check you over her friend when she talk about her friend?
08:01If it's an issue with Shantae,
08:03why not address it with Shantae, whatever the problem is?
08:06She's going to come around.
08:08I don't have to address a single thing with Shantae.
08:11No.
08:11I don't with her.
08:13Shantae was at taste, and I heard her tell a mutual friend
08:17that Glendale tried to talk to her.
08:20To me, that's not a friend, because why would you withhold
08:23this information from your best friend?
08:26I want to host a get together.
08:28Is Shantae going to be there?
08:29All of us to get together and just have a conversation.
08:32I'm sending out the message.
08:33And you all let Latisha know how y'all feel and why.
08:37And maybe she can, maybe she'll see y'all perspective.
08:41I'm going to pray on it.
08:42Pray on it.
08:42I'm sending out this message.
08:43I said, hey, Bells, stay tuned for a ladies get together.
08:47And yes, all the ladies.
08:48And that includes you, Keri, with your backpedaling,
08:51swimming set.
08:52Girl!
08:53Details coming soon.
08:54That's what I've said yet.
08:55Why do you trust Keri like that?
08:58I don't really trust Keri.
09:00Why?
09:00You know, I just don't.
09:01Like, if you say something, just stand in it.
09:04Keri pinning this baby rumor on me, it don't sit well with me.
09:08I was not trying to throw your husband under the bus at all,
09:10or mine.
09:11I just was like, that's kind of where I'd heard it.
09:13But somebody else mentioned it, because they said
09:15that you were sitting at the party.
09:17Keri denied it.
09:18Well, you said that don't backpedal.
09:19No, no, no, I'm not backpedaling.
09:21I'm frontpedaling.
09:22She is showing me her true colors and what she's capable of.
09:25Lying.
09:26Look, we did it.
09:28OK.
09:29I found you over there looking.
09:32OK.
09:33Good.
09:33But I do have some for you.
09:36Mm-hmm.
09:37All right.
09:38OK.
09:39This for your bus?
09:40This for me?
09:40Yes.
09:41OK.
09:42You ready?
09:42Yes.
09:43Let's go.
09:44Let's go.
09:44No, this is what you really like, right?
09:46No, we know.
09:47This is what you really like.
09:49Yeah.
09:50I need you to give her what she like, OK?
09:51Give her what she like.
09:54Feeling sexy and you know it.
09:58Feeling wild and gonna show it.
10:01Party, party, party.
10:03Don't stop, don't stop.
10:05It's time to celebrate.
10:07Hey!
10:08Hey!
10:09It's been a while since I have actually gotten out and just
10:14had a great time.
10:16I'm glad I stepped outside of my comfort zone.
10:19Latrice know how to show somebody a good time.
10:21She's a vibe.
10:23Really?
10:23I can't believe it.
10:24Ellen, with the Sprites or not, you know what?
10:27You are fat with Sprites, baby.
10:30She is outside, OK?
10:32I'm outside!
10:33Ah!
10:34Ah!
10:34Ah!
10:36Coming up on Belle Collective.
10:38What does that look like with the stuff that you have?
10:40I have none of that.
10:41What do a post-nuptial look like?
10:43A divorce.
10:45So, Matt, what we gonna do about this entire situation?
10:49It's called insanity.
10:50You don't have to get tough.
10:53Somebody does have to stand up for her and be like,
10:56we are a collective.
10:57So now you want to stand up, but you didn't stand up for her.
10:59Now you're right.
11:00Now I ain't standing up for her.
11:01Who are you yelling at?
11:02Who are you yelling at?
11:03Get your finger out my face.
11:04Let me tell you.
11:21Today, I am meeting with Glenn at Pig & Pint to let him know that I did meet with a
11:25financial advisor.
11:27And I am hoping and praying that he'll take this information well.
11:32But before Glenn arrives, I am going to FaceTime my homegirl, Shantae,
11:37to see if she's going to attend this meeting that Marie invited her to.
11:40Girl, what's up?
11:42Where you?
11:44I'm sitting out here, girl.
11:45That's what we're about to do.
11:46So, Marie told me she invited you to the luncheon.
11:50Don't roll your eyes.
11:52I don't know how I feel about a bunch of women getting together and tips what they don't like about
11:56me.
11:57Wow.
11:58Because, you know, the two terrible tees.
12:01The terrible tees?
12:03Yeah, Teresa and Tamar, you know, they don't like me.
12:05I did confirm with Marie, but, you know, if you feel good about it, I'm cool.
12:09So, okay.
12:10Well, honey, I see you at the luncheon.
12:12See you at the ambush luncheon.
12:14Good enough.
12:14We're going to get rid of that word.
12:19Hello.
12:19Hello.
12:20What's good, babe?
12:21I got a little blanket or something.
12:22Maybe, you know, if you get a little call, we can cuddle.
12:25I mean, I'm cold.
12:26I'm freezing.
12:27I love me some ribs.
12:29So, I'm excited about, you know, meeting Tisha for some barbecue today.
12:34All right.
12:35Us meeting for dinner and barbecue out at the same time, like, it's showing me that she's trying.
12:42So, what's going on with you?
12:43Hmm.
12:45Where to start?
12:46Um, Marie invited me to a luncheon.
12:49She's inviting everybody.
12:51All the bells, plus Shantae.
12:53Plus Shantae.
12:54Yeah, I asked Shantae.
12:55Okay.
12:55So, basically, the bells just, they got an issue with Shantae.
12:57It's Shantae or Shantae.
12:58Y'all have had y'all issues where she didn't like, you know.
13:02She didn't like me being with you.
13:03She didn't like you being with me.
13:04You think that?
13:05I feel like Shantae don't feel like Glenn is the person that I need to be with.
13:10Hold on.
13:15No, I have no to give about what Shantae thinks about my relationship with Tisha.
13:20I went to have a conversation with a financial advisor.
13:24And it comes with growth.
13:25You did what?
13:27You have, like, investments.
13:29You have 401K.
13:30You have retirement.
13:31I don't even know if I'm on the things.
13:33Like, I know I'm on your 401K.
13:35But am I the beneficiary?
13:37Like, I want to know what's going on.
13:39My son is on there.
13:42Yeah.
13:43But me?
13:45Yes, you're on there.
13:48My mom is on there.
13:50What's your mom on?
13:52Everything.
13:53I have it split three ways.
13:55You have it split three ways?
13:57Yeah.
13:58Wow.
14:00I made my mother a beneficiary on my assets because that's what a son's supposed to do.
14:05You know, this is a lady that took care of me and four other siblings by herself.
14:10I owe my mama the world.
14:12Is that a problem?
14:13Uh, yeah.
14:16Like, what else are you not telling me?
14:18What else?
14:19Because this is news to me.
14:21Now, I love your mama, but what we doing here?
14:24Um, we talked about, what else?
14:27Um, post-nuptial agreement.
14:31A post what?
14:32Nuptial.
14:33I wanted to get educated on that because we do have more clearly, thank God, than we had when we
14:40first
14:40started out.
14:41And I just wanted for us to decide what's what.
14:44What does that look like with the stuff that you have?
14:46I have none of that.
14:47What do a post-nuptial look like?
14:49A divorce.
14:51Boy, you're something else.
14:53We have to be adults.
14:55And I think that's something that we have lacking.
14:57I'm not signing no post.
14:59Absolutely not.
15:01Nah, so we ain't, we ain't gonna start these little games right now.
15:04We ain't gonna never start them little games.
15:05Nothing be married to me.
15:08I'll walk away from it all.
15:10I did bring up the manager.
15:12I shared with her.
15:13I said, hypothetically, should I have my husband to be my manager?
15:20What would that look like?
15:21She said that you can be my advisor.
15:26So think about that.
15:28No, no, no.
15:28Go here with me.
15:29Basically, you will be like a think tank.
15:33We'll be a think tank.
15:34Me and you.
15:35Me and you.
15:36And I think an advisor sounds way better than a manager.
15:41You are my advisor.
15:43You are my new advisor.
15:44All right.
15:45And how do you feel?
15:47Great.
15:52I suddenly lost my appetite.
15:55Thank you so much.
15:57I don't know this, Leticia.
15:59Man, I'm struggling.
16:01I'm struggling.
16:02I really feel like if we didn't have a kid, that probably would have been the last straw for me.
16:07Whatever makes you feel good, I'm just not signing a post.
16:14Coming up on The Collective.
16:16You know, I try to trust your partner to make good decisions.
16:20She's not going to change when you're just going along with everything and everything's okay.
16:25That's what you've always done with Carrie.
16:29On the stride, have a little fun.
16:32Let loose in the sun.
16:34If you're getting in the way, tell me what are you doing?
16:37Yeah, what are you doing?
16:40I can't complain.
16:42I'm just saying.
16:44I'll sit right over here.
16:46How about that?
16:49As far away from the street as I can.
16:51What do you think will happen?
16:53Anything is possible.
16:56We in the country.
16:57Carrie's been on the fence for such a long time with the Brick and Spoonmobile location.
17:03And I've given so much effort trying to help.
17:05But at some point, you know, I've got to focus on what's important in my industry as well.
17:10And I think sitting down with my mom will help clear my head a little bit.
17:14And knowing my mom, she's definitely going to have some opinions.
17:18Well, I'm glad we could make some time to mother, son, lunch, get together.
17:22Oh, you have a mama now, huh?
17:24Ain't seen you in a minute.
17:26What's been going on?
17:27Tired, busy.
17:28So I think I mentioned the idea a few months ago.
17:31I was looking into potentially making a move with my job.
17:35I really started to think about the importance of my kids, my legacy,
17:42building something that I can one day hopefully kind of give back to them.
17:47So I actually decided to go ahead and transition away from the company I was with.
17:52Okay.
17:53I'm moving forward in a partnership with someone that I've known for over 20 years.
17:58You know, and our plan is to create an agency that, for me, is the best and most respected
18:05small boutique agency in the game of baseball.
18:07How do you feel about it?
18:09I know it's going to be kind of scary at first.
18:11It'll look, you know, kind of hard.
18:13But I feel like I'm prepared for it.
18:15Yeah, and you enjoy what you do.
18:17That's very important.
18:18I feel like a weight's been lifted off my shoulder when I finally...
18:22I feel like a weight's lifted off of your shoulder.
18:25You riding Carrie on your back?
18:27No.
18:28I'm not talking about Carrie.
18:30There they are, the opinions I've been waiting for.
18:33Since day one, the relationship between my wife and my mom has been pretty stressful.
18:38Things can get tense.
18:39My mom is very stubborn and my wife can be the same way.
18:42How's everything going with the kids?
18:44It's time, you know, you go on the lot.
18:46Yeah.
18:47I've been there twice to sit with them.
18:49You were nowhere around, so...
18:51Yeah, well, you know, we both have a lot on our plate, Carrie.
18:54Mm-hmm.
18:55With so much going on with both of our jobs,
18:59we're trying to find as much balance as we can.
19:03Like, how do we be good parents?
19:06The interesting thing about Carrie and I,
19:08we've been together since we were teenagers.
19:11You know, at times, especially as Carrie and I kind of chase success in two different lanes,
19:18it can become tough to juggle career and home life.
19:22And, you know, with our kids getting older now, there's a lot going on.
19:25So it can become stressful.
19:27No, Carrie don't listen to too many people.
19:29That's something that we working on.
19:31She's not gonna change, but you just going along with everything and everything's okay.
19:36That's what you've always done with Carrie.
19:38You know, I try to trust your partner to make good decisions.
19:43But I agree, I probably gave her too much room to make big decisions without me.
19:49Like, you sure did.
19:50You didn't have to, you know, like, put your foot down.
19:54Right.
19:54Carrie and I have been in the middle of this complicated situation with the Mobile location for a while now.
20:00It's beginning to become a strain financially for both of us.
20:04You can't be so supportive that you go...
20:07I'm being too supportive.
20:07...being supportive, right.
20:09She gotta learn, too, that the most successful people in the world, they fail.
20:13Their businesses fail.
20:14But they didn't keep doing the same thing over and over.
20:17Right.
20:17That's called insanity.
20:19Yeah.
20:20So, Matt, what are we gonna do about this entire situation?
20:23Me and her mom sat down with her.
20:25We're trying to push her as much as we can.
20:28You're just gonna have to cut your losses.
20:31By not making a decision, it's starting to feel kind of selfish to me.
20:37I could be giving her a message, her mom could be giving her the same message.
20:40But she'll hear it differently from somebody else.
20:43Oh, she'll hear it differently from somebody else.
20:45Yeah.
20:45Well, maybe she need to hear it from me, too.
20:47I might have to be the same way to answer.
20:49Third person.
20:50Maybe you can give some advice to Carrie and tell her what I've been trying to tell her.
20:55Tell her what her mom's been trying to tell her.
20:57Mm-hmm.
20:58I might do that.
20:59I might.
21:00She might not be happy to hear everything you got to say, but I think it'll really help.
21:05Mm-hmm.
21:06You got them boxing gloves around Mississippi?
21:09In the event I need them.
21:12Coming up, One Bell Collective.
21:15I don't trust you to be my safe space.
21:18I don't trust you to give me genuine advice when it comes to my business.
21:22I don't trust you to just be 100% loyal.
21:26Why the f*** am I here?
21:32When I seen her in the club, everything slowed down.
21:36I had to approach her.
21:39What's up, girl?
21:42What's up, girl?
21:43Now that first is back in place as being my manager, I can now focus on pushing my brand forward.
21:50My financial advisor suggested that instead of Glenn being my business manager, I should bring him on as my advisor.
21:58And Glenn actually agreed to that.
22:00I'm okay with giving it a chance.
22:04Hey.
22:05Hey, hey, hey.
22:06How are you?
22:08I'm good.
22:08I'm good.
22:09How you doing?
22:10I'm good.
22:11Just working a little bit.
22:12As usual.
22:14Yeah.
22:15So I just hung up with First.
22:15I just got an update on everything.
22:17What did you get an update with First on?
22:19I thought he wasn't part of the team.
22:21I told you.
22:22I said First took a leave of absence.
22:24Quick question.
22:25Was First at your focus group?
22:28No.
22:29No?
22:29You know, I did put him on a leave of absence because I want to.
22:35And then he apologized.
22:37He just said, knew him, knew me.
22:39Like, we still had loose ends that we were working on that I told you about.
22:43Money over disrespect.
22:45You man.
22:46Now Glenn, really.
22:47Hey.
22:47I'm hoping to accomplish an understanding and a compromise with Glenn.
22:53If you're going to be a part of the team, then we have to separate business from pleasure.
22:59That's you.
23:00You are the business advisor, right?
23:02I'm the business advisor.
23:03Right?
23:04Where do I fall in the chain of command?
23:06Is it you, Donald, First, Ashley, the pet, grass, worms.
23:15What?
23:15Anything that's life.
23:17And then Glenn, how did that look?
23:20So basically, you have me, Leticia.
23:26First of all, for God up here, before all things, the brand.
23:30And then, right under the brand, we have the business advisor.
23:36Why you couldn't put Glenn?
23:36See, that right there is one thing that's not allowed in the brand.
23:40That's selfishness.
23:41That's prohibited, okay?
23:43Selfishness.
23:44Selfishness.
23:44X that out.
23:45Get it out of your mind.
23:45Would you like to proceed?
23:47Go ahead.
23:47So, do you want to write it?
23:49I mean...
23:50Your ideas?
23:51Yes, for sure.
23:52Brainstorm.
23:53Okay.
23:53Brainstorm away.
23:54Got it.
23:55I got it.
23:56Other than the branding and the networking, I feel like you're gorgeous.
24:02You're beautiful.
24:04Not only speaking, what about, like, modeling?
24:08Like, plus size modeling?
24:09Plus size modeling.
24:10I didn't want to say plus.
24:12I love me.
24:13As you should.
24:14I'm doing some enhancements, of course.
24:17I'm going to do chin lipo.
24:19Then I can go and have, like, full body surgery.
24:23What?
24:24Yeah.
24:25I just want to do everything right now.
24:26I'm in a season of me.
24:28Like, if I want to just do it, I'm just going to do it.
24:30What are your thoughts?
24:31You done lost your damn mind.
24:33I've decided now is the time to move forward with cosmetic surgery.
24:38I have PCOS.
24:40My weight fluctuates so bad, and I just want to take another step on my health journey.
24:47I disagree with the cosmetic surgery.
24:49It's going to bring unwanted attention, and you already know who you married to.
24:52If God can't make you happy, how can I?
24:55Why don't you want me to have surgery?
24:57The intimacy.
24:58You just came off the celibacy .
24:59Do you feel cleansed?
25:01I feel amazing.
25:01Well, there's no need for you to go have surgery.
25:03You clean.
25:03I feel amazing.
25:03No.
25:04No.
25:05That has nothing to do with anything.
25:07Ending the celibacy was a way for me to try to reconnect with clean.
25:13I regret ending the celibacy because we're back at step one again with the tension.
25:19It's not-
25:20Do you not like me working?
25:21I don't have a problem with you working.
25:23It's just you make moves I don't know anything about.
25:27You used to call me a hundred times on that boat and ask me,
25:31Hey, what do you think about this? What's your thought on it? Am I lying?
25:35And you want to know why?
25:36Because I trusted you then.
25:40And right now, I don't.
25:42I don't trust you to be my safe space.
25:45I don't trust you to protect my heart.
25:48I don't trust you to give me genuine advice when it comes to my business.
25:52I don't trust you to just be a hundred percent loyal.
25:56Why the am I here?
25:58That's why I'm working on that.
25:59Why am I here then?
26:00Why am I here?
26:01Did I ask why am I here when you said you want this structure to me to just be a
26:05stay home?
26:06Let me explain what you-
26:07You always use that as an excuse when I say,
26:09this is what I'm having and I'll be just, well, why am I here?
26:11Well, Letitia, let's just get a divorce.
26:13It's like, that's-
26:14I don't know what else to do.
26:15I've made the changes.
26:16What else can I do?
26:18And that is-
26:18Sometimes it's easier to start over.
26:25Coming up on their collective.
26:27I don't want to wait too long to have kids and not be able to have kids.
26:31So do you truly feel like you ready?
26:37Could you explain to me exactly what a post-nup is?
26:40It doesn't mean that you're headed for a divorce, unless you are.
26:45Do you- are you thinking about?
26:49I heard my name.
26:53We are all talking about eliminating outside noise.
26:58And here comes outside noise, walking right through the door.
27:31And I come on and down the sea.
27:31It's about like 500 yards from the house.
27:34There's like five football fields.
27:35There's a lake.
27:36It's just so much privacy.
27:38It's so secluded.
27:39So we're here today just checking on everything,
27:42making sure that everything goes as planned.
27:44And I'm anticipating my mom stopping by today.
27:47I'm super excited.
27:48Everything looks so good.
27:50Got everything done.
27:52Still have to put a few more coffee cups, paper towel dispensers.
27:57But everything looks good.
27:59Whatever you want.
27:59I don't feel right.
28:00It'll be us.
28:02Is that my mom?
28:03Where is everybody?
28:05Hey, my mom.
28:07Where is your clothes, girl?
28:09Now listen, trying to do a little workout.
28:13I got to show you the Airbnb.
28:14I got to run so y'all get it.
28:15I got the stuff I got to get done.
28:17What you got to get done?
28:18Long stuff.
28:19I got it.
28:19OK.
28:20Anytime there's a new venture, I always
28:23have to get my mom's approval.
28:25I'm super excited to show her exactly what I've been working on.
28:28Oh, it is lovely.
28:30I know.
28:31I think we need to put like a rug or something in here.
28:33Yes, you do.
28:35But it is beautiful.
28:36Let me get us some blankets so we can sit outside and catch up.
28:40I want to talk to my mom because the things that my husband said
28:44on a double date with the Pearsons really bothered me.
28:47The fact that he now does not want a child, I definitely feel some type of way.
28:53And my mom is the only one that I can express these feelings to.
28:56How you is with your so-called friend, Belle, women?
29:00Well, Tambra had an event because all the girls, you know, they want everybody to be so transparent.
29:08To me, they just want to be nosy and be in everybody's business.
29:11But they basically called Tambra out so bad, so she, I guess she felt like she had to do a
29:17get to know me event.
29:19But her baby came out in the end, and it was so cute.
29:24My biggest accomplishment!
29:31I just wanted to take her home with me.
29:33It makes you feel some type of way.
29:35Yeah.
29:36Kids have never been in my forefront.
29:39And my husband had been asking for years to have a baby, have a family, have kids.
29:43He always been, like, harassing me about children.
29:46So now that I do want a baby, he's like, I don't want to have kids.
29:51He even joked about having a vasectomy.
29:55You not going to stop doing what you do to get the baby?
29:58What the hell?
29:58There are things I can do.
29:59No, you can't.
30:00That's right.
30:01No.
30:02So what makes you want to just have a child?
30:05You know, like with you, you have grandkids, you have children.
30:08We all come to your house for holidays.
30:10I just feel like that's something that I would want.
30:13And I don't want to wait too long to have kids
30:16and not be able to have kids.
30:17So do you truly feel like you ready?
30:21I don't truly feel like I'm ready.
30:22We're just talking about it.
30:24For one, I'm numb when it comes to expressing my feelings to my husband.
30:27Why?
30:28You know, I think growing up, after you left dad, a lot happened.
30:33You know, we had to go from house to house.
30:36Police is kicking in the door.
30:37You losing sons.
30:39Of course, we're not in the hood anymore,
30:40but just growing up in the hood, seeing so much.
30:42You had a hard life growing up, and I tried to do the best that I could.
30:49Anything that y'all had to have, I had to strap to get it.
30:53But I got it.
30:54But one thing you told me, you said, Mom, when I grow up,
30:58I'm going to go to college, and I'm going to do something with my life.
31:03You went to college, made something out of yourself,
31:05and I'm very proud of you.
31:07I am very proud of you.
31:09Thank you, Mother.
31:11That means a lot, you saying it.
31:14Hearing my mom say that she's proud of me has been something that I've been wanting to hear
31:19since a little girl.
31:21My mom is what drives me.
31:23I want to make her proud.
31:25And if she approves anything that I do, that means that I did my job.
31:31Like, I know he can be a great father.
31:33So y'all just going to have to sit down and talk?
31:36Well, you have to have a conversation with him.
31:39Well, you know, he always listens to you, so maybe when you talk to him,
31:43he'll have a different story, a different tune.
31:45It's very hard for me to be vulnerable with my husband,
31:48but I feel like my mom can reach him in ways that I cannot.
31:52He listens to her, he values her opinion, and he respects her.
31:56So I think that she can get more out of him than me.
31:59So what you want, a boy or a girl?
32:02I want a boy.
32:05I want a little junior.
32:07We're going to call him CJ.
32:08Cliff and junior girl.
32:10Mm-hmm.
32:11If we have a girl, it's Cliffarella.
32:14I hope not.
32:15Or Gloritha, girl.
32:16I got you.
32:18I'm in my soul.
32:19Pressure make your diamond, not a gold.
32:22Pressure make you cold.
32:23Pressure on your diamond, make you cold.
32:25Tisha have spoke to a financial advisor.
32:29She's been speaking to a lot of people without my knowledge.
32:31So today, Glendale got something up his sleeve.
32:35So I decide to go talk to an attorney as well, just to get some clarity about a post note.
32:41Hello, Mr. Pearson.
32:43Yes, ma'am.
32:44Thank you for reaching out.
32:45Good.
32:46Good to meet you.
32:47Yes, ma'am.
32:48Yes, ma'am.
32:48Same, same, same.
32:50What brings you by today?
32:54A lot.
32:55Let me just give you a rundown of everything.
32:57I've been with my wife for going on 18 years, been together for 23.
33:02I'm confused because the other day, she hit me with she want me to sign a post note.
33:08Okay.
33:09Could you explain to me exactly what a post note is?
33:12You're just trying to define financial responsibilities and certain things that you
33:19want to try to align and have insight about regarding your finances and your assets as soon as possible,
33:28just in case of separation, you know, or divorce.
33:32Mm-hmm.
33:33It doesn't mean that you're headed for a divorce, unless you are.
33:37Are you thinking about?
33:49I think that I'm here to flaunt.
33:51You haven't been where I've been.
33:52Might make it easy to taunt.
33:53But I'mma say it again.
33:55You cannot get what I want.
33:56Hi.
33:58How are you?
33:58I'm well.
33:59How are you?
34:00It's just you today.
34:01I have a large party.
34:03Today is the day for me to get all of the ladies together,
34:06so we can address all of the outside noise, including Chantane.
34:12Rowdy, rowdy in the alley.
34:13Why you looking pouty, pouty?
34:14Don't you look fabulous?
34:16Thank you, you too.
34:19There's supposed to be a party in it.
34:21Ooh.
34:22I know.
34:24You've been missing in action, girl.
34:25Where you been?
34:26Miss M.I.A. Columbia, honey.
34:28The night is ripe for living the best life.
34:31Best life.
34:32Hey, baby.
34:33Ooh.
34:33Good to see you.
34:35I've been waiting to leave.
34:36You know, Chantane?
34:37Let's go.
34:39I cannot believe that that hater, Marie,
34:42tried to call me a flip-flopper in a group chat.
34:44She thinks she's witty, but, baby, I rule the game of tongues.
34:48OK.
34:49And yes, this Gulf Coast Belle will be showing up,
34:52and this time in my Louboutins and not my flip-flops.
34:56Hey.
34:57Hey.
34:58Yeah.
34:58Hi, girls.
35:00Oh, I'm loving those smiles.
35:02Oh, my gosh.
35:03It feels so good to be supportive in this moment.
35:07Latisha's talking about she cannot stop looking at my smile.
35:10She cannot stop looking at my teeth.
35:12And I know all of these bells was wondering how I was going to come back.
35:16And I'm just smiling.
35:18You got, you, you see that, right?
35:19Yeah.
35:20OK.
35:21Thank y'all for coming.
35:23And actually, you know, me and Latrice, she took me out.
35:27What?
35:27Took me outside.
35:29What?
35:30You know, I told her, you know, I wanted her here so we can all,
35:34you know, just come together and talk.
35:35I know we're moving forward as a collective.
35:37And it was a big step in Tambra letting us meet London Simone.
35:41That was everything.
35:42So that kind of solidified everything and just validated that, hey, we are moving forward
35:48as a collective.
35:50I love it.
35:50I love that.
35:51As you all know, it has been a lot of outside noise in the past that I want us to
35:55eliminate.
35:57Yeah.
35:58Why would we start?
35:59Like, where's Latrice?
36:00Latrice decided not to come.
36:02I wish Latrice was here.
36:04I did not tell most of the bells that I invited Shantae.
36:08Not just shit.
36:09I feel like we're in a good place.
36:11We all have our own friends.
36:14And we do support each other.
36:16So let's just say if Latrice have an event, of course, Shantae is her friend.
36:22She's been her friend since grade school.
36:24She's going to invite her friends.
36:25So if Shantae coming, okay, let's just say Tambra may not like Shantae.
36:29Or if Latrice not feeling Shantae, okay, they're not going to come and support you
36:33because she's present.
36:35So what do you do in a situation like that?
36:37Do what I did.
36:38I came to the give back and Amanda was there.
36:41Yeah, she was.
36:42And I was there to support Latrice and what we're doing and moved on.
36:47I know this is your friend.
36:49I told you guys how I felt the first time that I ever sat down with Shantae.
36:53And she brings me BS.
36:55The information was brought to me basically saying that, you know, her and Daman are not together.
37:00They're basically two friends that decided that they want to have a baby.
37:03So I think that's being messy.
37:05Then on top of that, we've heard that she has talked about Latisha.
37:12And that to me, that's not a friend.
37:16I have heard that y'all had broken up the friendship and you guys got back together.
37:21I heard that she felt like you were trying to get back having a friendship with her because she
37:25has a new house and you wanted to do things at her house.
37:27Because she said you were broke.
37:29She said that you have borrowed money for your reunion dress from her because you did not have
37:33any money.
37:34How are you?
37:34You look handsome as always.
37:36You look gorgeous as always.
37:38I'm definitely shocked.
37:39I'm confused as to where is this information coming from because none of this is true.
37:44It does put us in an awkward position because you just said you all have been friends for so
37:47many years.
37:48We don't know her.
37:49So if we're moving forward and we're resetting, we got to keep other people out.
37:54Exactly.
37:55After all the collective has gone through, I finally feel like that we're all on the same page.
38:00The collective is finally going in the same direction.
38:04It does feel like the collective is trying to move forward.
38:10We just need to eliminate the outside noise.
38:15The outsiders are always the ones coming in with mess, drama, gossip,
38:21and we just need to eliminate it all together.
38:24Hey.
38:25Hi.
38:26What's going on?
38:27I heard my name.
38:29That's me.
38:29I'm on my hand.
38:30Hey, baby.
38:32I invited Shantae here.
38:34Hi, Selena.
38:35Hi, my boy.
38:37Hey, girl.
38:38Hi, Carrie Berry.
38:40Hey, Tamra.
38:41We're going down there, okay?
38:45Now, listen, we are all talking about eliminating outside noise,
38:51and here comes outside noise walking right through the door.
39:01How are you?
39:03Good, good, good.
39:04Y'all look pretty.
39:06Nice to see y'all.
39:08Nice to see you, too.
39:10So, nice to be seen.
39:12I'm not going to sit up with Shantae and no head or no touch.
39:14Shh.
39:15I'm sorry.
39:16Are you leaving?
39:17Are you leaving?
39:17Yes.
39:18Tamra.
39:18We just talked about the collective and being a collective,
39:22and now we have a bell who doesn't want to be around because of outside noise.
39:27Tamra instantly jumped up.
39:29You know what?
39:29I'm not doing this.
39:30I'm leaving.
39:31Latrice is not here, and I'm not doing this.
39:33And respectfully so, rightfully so.
39:35I get it.
39:36So, somebody does have to stand up for her.
39:38So, now you want to stand up, but you didn't stand up for my friend.
39:41No, you're right.
39:41Who are you yelling at?
39:43Who are you yelling at?
39:44Get your finger out of my face, and I don't know who you think you are.
39:48You want a spotlight?
39:49I don't want to.
39:50Baby, I already have a spotlight.
39:52Don't play with me.
39:53Westside Tam is activated.
39:55Now, her and Shantae going at it, and Lord have mercy.
39:58What are we doing here?
39:59This is a launching.
40:01Oh, in everything that you're doing.
40:04She's not a bail.
40:05I'm sorry.
40:05She's not.
40:06I support you.
40:06We're supposed to be a collective.
40:08Latrice is not here.
40:12Latrice has actually been one of the bails who has consistently checked on me
40:19during the entire time my dad was in the hospital.
40:23Latrice is not here, therefore, I need to leave as well.
40:28One band, one sound.
40:31You can't even tell me what the issue is.
40:32She's making you up, though.
40:33You know, but you know .
40:34Harry, she's making you up.
40:35I'm sorry.
40:36I've never said anything like that.
40:38So don't do that.
40:40Coming up this season on Bell Collective.
40:43I've been in this family since 1998.
40:46And if you want to stay in it, you better start respecting me.
40:50No, hell.
40:51Now, that's a dread.
40:53Selena has a number of things that have not been done for this wedding.
40:58She doesn't have a venue, a caterer.
41:00I don't know if it's going to be all right or not.
41:02I don't want a baby.
41:03Then you.
41:04Nah, you ain't got that make a baby.
41:06Should I be expecting divorce papers?
41:09Listen, we can't keep circling the drain.
41:11I will whoop her.
41:12Do not pleasure me today.
41:13What are you having said?
41:14Harry's a liar.
41:15Uh-uh.
41:16Say what you mean and mean what you say.
41:17Don't tell me nothing to say.
41:19Hey, you tell me what you heard me say.
