00:01This season, we introduced some new bells in a brand new city.
00:05These ladies are all bosses.
00:07They are disruptors in their industry, building businesses
00:11and million-dollar brands.
00:14But some shady comments have left this sisterhood quite messy.
00:18Will tonight be the cleanup on aisle four that this group need?
00:22Or was it aisle seven?
00:24The storm, baby.
00:25Grab your mops, honey.
00:26We're about to find out.
00:27Hey, bells!
00:28No!
00:33I'm the show's creator and your host, Carlos King.
00:35And this is the Bell Collective Birmingham reunion special.
00:40Oh, he is. Oh, baby.
00:41Baby, okay.
00:43Maybe the dog's fear not right.
00:44He knows some have to go down.
00:46All right!
00:55Okay, Trin.
00:57Hey, Stormy.
00:58Hey, Carlos.
00:59We back there!
01:01Where's Trin?
01:02Is Trey excited?
01:03I hear him growling.
01:04You know what?
01:04When he start hearing clapping, that's one thing that's gonna do it for him.
01:07Okay.
01:08So it wasn't Tiffany?
01:09Not right now.
01:10Okay.
01:11Hey, Tiff.
01:12Hey.
01:13How are you?
01:13I'm feeling good.
01:14I'm feeling great.
01:15You feeling great?
01:16Mm-hmm.
01:16Holy oil or the water?
01:18How do you know?
01:18Or the Bible?
01:19Mm.
01:20Which one do you think?
01:22Well, I'm a Psalm 37-4 guy.
01:24Oh, okay.
01:24Don't start and no more be not.
01:25Don't be not.
01:29Hey, Amber.
01:30Hey, Carlos.
01:31You looking good.
01:31Thank you so much.
01:32The bob is bobbing.
01:34Activate.
01:35Activate.
01:36Activate.
01:36Activate.
01:37Who's gonna get some of your spray?
01:39You shall see and find out.
01:41Are they on this couch or that couch?
01:42That couch.
01:46I'm gonna hold her back.
01:47I'm gonna hold her back.
01:49Hey, Fumi.
01:50Hey, Boo.
01:51You are the first Nigerian queen, honey.
01:56Yes.
01:57For the bell.
01:57Oh, I love that.
01:58You better make history.
01:59Of course.
02:00How you feeling?
02:01Of course.
02:01I feel great.
02:03Okay.
02:03I mean, she's activated and she pointed over here, so I'm activated.
02:06Oh.
02:07Let's go.
02:07Let's go, Fumi.
02:09Kayla.
02:10What's up?
02:10How's it going?
02:11It's going great.
02:12You look gorgeous.
02:13I love the slick back.
02:15It's a slick bob.
02:17I guess.
02:18Okay, so is that slick bob activated too?
02:21Oh, absolutely.
02:22It is?
02:23Yeah.
02:24Upwork.
02:24Oh, okay.
02:25Well, look, I have to say this.
02:27You know, I'm really proud of all of you ladies.
02:31This show has been the talk of the town.
02:34Stormy, how does it feel to know that you're part of this Bale Collective Birmingham and
02:39that 100% of the audience love this show?
02:42I mean, it means the absolute world to me.
02:44You know, I stepped away and to be able to come back and have such a warm reception,
02:49I'm truly grateful for the opportunity.
02:51Well, I'm happy you guys are here and so is the audience because look, from its historical
02:57significance during the Civil Rights era to its prominence as a hub for Black wealth,
03:03today's Birmingham has become a cultural Mecca in the South.
03:07But what's the real source of magic in Magic City?
03:10Let's find out.
03:15It's crazy, like, how many people are there that have, like, high net worth doing great
03:20in, like, real estate.
03:21A lot of Black people in Tech Birmingham, too.
03:23You are in the historic AG Gaston Motel.
03:26This is where Dr. King stayed.
03:28Wow.
03:28We're so rooted in our culture, in our history.
03:32Birmingham has some of the best talent that I've seen in a very long time.
03:37You little boy, dude.
03:39ABC do infrared.
03:39Look at you do, too.
03:41You got the memo?
03:42Trying to be like you.
03:42Yes, yes.
03:44Fashion in Birmingham, it's a lot.
03:46You see all the influencers trying to outdo the next influencer.
03:51Birmingham is where it's at, it's where it's gonna be, and we're the future of the South.
03:56Welcome to Birmingham.
03:58I love Birmingham.
04:01It's such a rich city.
04:02It definitely is like the Mecca in the South.
04:05So, Fumi, what are some of the fashions that Birmingham has that, you know, you feel like sets you guys
04:11apart?
04:12I think it's just our use of, like, color.
04:15Like, in the South, we love color, we love different fabrics, and we like to be unique.
04:21Like, if you see a girl, I know some girls like to think us influencers all dress alike, and we're
04:27all competing.
04:27Is that a response to what Tiffany said?
04:30Yeah, yeah.
04:31Well, you know what?
04:32I love how you direct, girl.
04:34Always.
04:34I caught the shade.
04:34But see, that's the thing.
04:35You always have to be direct.
04:36So what have I not been direct when it comes to you?
04:39What did you mean by that comment influencers like to compete with each other?
04:43Because they do.
04:44If the shoe fit, then wear it, but I wasn't coming at you.
04:46One thing about this veil, I may not be your favorite, but I'm definitely the realest.
04:51You're not my favorite or the realest.
04:53Okay.
04:53You have a right to your opinion, but again, like I said, if you have issues, come direct.
04:59I'm very direct, Fumi.
05:01Me too.
05:02Yeah.
05:02While these bells were forming their sisterhood, we quickly discovered that no amount of magic
05:09in Magic City could prevent the drama, but that wasn't stopping Stormy Steel from getting
05:15to that bag.
05:16She went live on TikTok for 52 hours with Canvas Beauty's first celebrity collaboration
05:22with Lala Anthony.
05:25Take a look.
05:26One, two, three, release them.
05:29Yeah.
05:31It's almost 2,000 people.
05:33I don't know what to say.
05:35We're one hour in, Lala.
05:3747 hours left.
05:38The route just got a text from Stormy.
05:42He was only extending the invite to Kayla and Fumi and I.
05:45I disinvited her.
05:47Y'all have fun.
05:49Little Mortel.
05:50What y'all doing?
05:51Y'all looking beautiful, beautiful.
05:52Ain't this some good .
05:54Look at it.
05:55It feels so good.
05:56Yeah.
05:56Look at that.
05:57What were y'all doing on the sofa?
05:59Talking.
06:00Talking about the glaze, trying it on.
06:01Oh, y'all were selling the product.
06:03Yeah.
06:03I was trying.
06:04Yeah.
06:04Y'all became some employees, period.
06:06Yeah.
06:07Now, do you stand 10 toes down on the fact that you felt that Stormy was given free labor?
06:14Yeah, and it was a joke.
06:16But yeah, I felt like it was a great strategy plan.
06:19She ended up having Martel there to help sell.
06:22So I do think that that was a marketing strategy to help her sell.
06:26We were only up there for a good five minutes, so I wouldn't have even felt right taking money from
06:31Stormy.
06:31One thing I can say about Stormy is that I came to a photo shoot recently and I ended up
06:37getting on the live.
06:38And because I was on the live for about 30 minutes, she paid me.
06:41She paid me very well.
06:42So I don't think she was trying to get free labor.
06:44I think it was just like, come say, hey, we're the bell.
06:46I never said that she was trying to get free labor.
06:48I gave her her flowers and I said, I think it was a great strategy plan.
06:51You did just say something about it being free.
06:54Well, go back.
06:54I mean, you know you.
06:55You have a problem with lying and forgetting.
07:00So Amber, you're the CFO.
07:03Okay, Amber.
07:03Amber.
07:04Yes.
07:04As a CFO, do you feel like it was a strategy to get the bells on to help sell products?
07:13I would come on anybody's live and help because that's what friends and people do.
07:18But if it's someone that is not as close, for instance, if it was me and Kayla having something
07:23and Kayla was coming on my stuff, she probably would expect to be paid because me and her are not
07:27as close.
07:29And so they are close or did they just meet each other?
07:34Tiffany, just say you hating and you wish you could have been there.
07:37But that's not the case.
07:38It is.
07:39But it's not the case.
07:40It is.
07:41I'm woman enough to say that if I was, I wasn't hating.
07:44I wasn't hating.
07:46I wouldn't want to work for free in that moment.
07:48It is okay.
07:49It's gonna be all right.
07:50Okay.
07:50Well, look, it wasn't all business with these bells.
07:54We're driving into some of the personal stories that took us out this season when the Bell Collective Birmingham Reunion
08:00special continues.
08:04And that was only act one.
08:07Coming up, we have a very special guest joining us.
08:12Oh, my God.
08:14Oh, my goodness.
08:16When you around Stormy, you give me a different energy.
08:19When it comes to me, disabuse yourself of that dog.
08:21I don't need anybody.
08:23Did I not show up and we hugged and you gave me a piece of cake and we took a
08:26picture?
08:27Did that happen?
08:27Because I wasn't gonna be rude to you because I'm a woman of grace.
08:30No, it's because your face.
08:32You were so pressed about a mop, your hair looked like a goddamn mop today.
08:39Welcome back to the Bell Collective Birmingham season one reunion.
08:43From IVF to a vasectomy, putting a house on the market and building a new one, these bells were very
08:49busy.
08:50So, Amber, you now have 23 eggs, which is good.
08:54Congratulations.
08:56You stick first, then you push.
08:58Okay.
08:59No, wait.
09:00You looking like you about to throw a dart.
09:01I'm sure I got in the face.
09:02I was trying to stab you with it.
09:04So, do you have a timeline of having a baby?
09:07I don't.
09:08And that's the part that kind of scares me because I've been by myself so long and I love it.
09:12I'm a happy single person.
09:14It's like the thought of a man coming in and possibly wrecking my life gives me a little anxiety.
09:18Can I give you some advice?
09:19You can.
09:20Okay.
09:20If you want, you have to make room for it.
09:23Exactly.
09:23Embrace the idea of making room for a man to come into the house.
09:30And then when he comes to the house, y'all gonna sell it.
09:34Okay.
09:34I'm gonna rent it out.
09:35Because...
09:36Oh, okay, okay, okay, okay.
09:37Rent it out, make a profit.
09:39Yeah.
09:40And then you guys have something together.
09:42So, Fumi, what's the update with the house?
09:44This is a mansion.
09:46What are we doing here?
09:47Oh, my God.
09:50It is 2.6.
09:52Oh, that's a steal.
09:53That's a steal is crazy.
09:55I'm fine with where we are now.
09:56You can't, Sam.
09:58We put an offer on one house and...
10:00How much?
10:02Carlos.
10:02Good question.
10:03You are digging, honey.
10:04I am Carlos King.
10:06I dig.
10:08It was less than two.
10:10Okay.
10:11More than one.
10:12Because we have a contingency, it just...
10:14It fell through.
10:15Are you aware of your finances?
10:17Not at all.
10:18Do you know how much your mortgage is?
10:21Not that I don't know.
10:22Okay.
10:23Do you pay any bills?
10:25That I don't do.
10:26Okay.
10:27Does Sam give you an allowance per month that is satisfied in your bank account that you
10:34could spend freely?
10:35He does not...
10:37I don't want to say pay, but he does give me money to like, you know, do little fun things,
10:41buy a bag, do my hair, all these things.
10:43So, when I run out of that money, which I usually do within a week, I just go and start
10:47using
10:48our Amex or one of our other cards.
10:52So, Stormi, when you do hear Fumi talk about that, do you feel like women should be able
10:57to be in a position to where they get everything on their own or do you think there is balance
11:02in that too?
11:03I don't see nothing wrong with like, how Fumi and Sam do they dynamic because they look happy
11:09and they work for them.
11:10But is that how we do in our household?
11:13No.
11:13When it comes to you and Canvas Beauty, do you consider yourself to be the breadwinner
11:19because you're the face of the company?
11:21I've always talked about how Courtney and I met in college.
11:24He was playing basketball overseas.
11:27I saw that man chase his dreams and I'm gonna get emotional.
11:32Because if I never saw somebody do it, I would have never known I could.
11:36Even when he didn't feel like it was a manly thing to do.
11:40Help me get my off the ground.
11:43So, that's not a me thing.
11:46That's us.
11:48We worked our ass up.
11:50Courtney wake up every day and take Chess to school.
11:52I wish I could do it.
11:54He give him a bath every night.
11:57That's balance.
11:58So, I'll never say that I'm the breadwinner.
12:03Because I couldn't eat without him.
12:06Mmm.
12:06Do you have to ask Courtney when you want to spend some stuff?
12:10No.
12:13You better say it.
12:19So, Kayla, there's been a lot of chatter.
12:22I'm sure.
12:23About you and your ex-husband.
12:25Yes.
12:25And the age gap.
12:27Mm-hmm.
12:27I met him when I just turned 17.
12:29We dated for 11 months.
12:3111 months.
12:33And then, 11 days after my birthday when I turned 18, we got married.
12:37Got it.
12:38It makes me sad because I feel like you were robbed of your youth.
12:43As I got older, it wasn't until I hit around 30, and I'm 35 now, that I was like, wait.
12:47Like, I didn't have a childhood.
12:50Like, I didn't go off to college.
12:51I ended up getting a job.
12:52I got pregnant within six months.
12:56And, you know, he would tell stories, like, in his 20s.
12:59Like, oh, we used to go out and do this, all this crazy stuff.
13:01And I would have no stories to tell because he had been with me my whole life.
13:05Oh, Kayla.
13:06And that's when I was like, I knew I had to leave.
13:10What is the age difference between you and Jason?
13:12Me and Jason are 17 years apart.
13:14And I'll tell you, when I got married when I was 17, I was a child.
13:20That's a lot different than me being grown now and having experienced so much life.
13:24There's just so much you go through in a marriage that somebody my age right now would never understand.
13:29And I think, listen, my advice to you is this.
13:32I want you to choose you.
13:33Yeah.
13:34And to not compromise your happiness for any man moving forward.
13:38Yeah.
13:38Um, I want to get to you, Tiffany, because you shared your desire to want to have another child.
13:46I think it's only right for us to have another baby.
13:53I hear exactly what you're saying.
13:56Okay.
13:56Then let's do it!
13:59So I'm thinking about a blue sexy man.
14:02I'm sorry.
14:03That's funny.
14:04Before we got married, neither one of us wanted children.
14:07However, I didn't know it was to the extreme of having a vasectomy.
14:14Did he end up getting a vasectomy?
14:16No.
14:17He does have a doctor's appointment, though.
14:19And how do you feel about that?
14:20I am, um, emotional about that.
14:23Yeah.
14:24You obviously are a biblical woman.
14:26Do you feel like, biblically, I'm his wife, he's the man, and I have to ride and go along with
14:34his decision?
14:35I don't believe that I should not voice that I want more kids.
14:38But if his why is stronger than mine, then maybe I need to lean on towards my husband why.
14:44Um, I wish the best for you.
14:46Keep us updated.
14:47And let him know that I'm the product of ten kids.
14:50Oh, my God.
14:51I don't want ten.
14:52Just one more.
14:52No!
14:53But look, imagine stopping at four.
14:56You would never have a Carlos King.
14:57And what would life be without me?
15:00Oh, my God.
15:02Thank you all for sharing your personal stories with us.
15:05We'll be right back with more of the Bell Collective Birmingham reunion special.
15:11Coming up.
15:12Okay, let's talk about it.
15:13I will admit, and this is breaking news, the easiest thing to do is just to be honest.
15:18I'm just telling the truth.
15:20We're back.
15:22So listen, Kayla, your lack of knowledge, people feel like got you in a lot of trouble with the Bells.
15:28Let's see exactly what's been going on.
15:32I'm sorry.
15:34I know that the things that happened a few years ago was very minimal.
15:38She rubbed me the wrong way.
15:41What's up with that video?
15:42You like that?
15:44I'm feeling crazy.
15:49Why you had to do that?
15:50Because she said it looked like I had did a line or two.
15:53I didn't mean anything, but I really didn't.
15:54Okay, let me ask you something.
15:55I had no idea.
15:56It's naturally densey.
15:57Maybe.
15:58Kayla comes off very innocent, but she's the type of person that throws a rock and hides her hand.
16:04That's about it.
16:05So how did y'all like the Birmingham Civil Rights Institute?
16:08I apologize for offending her.
16:11I thought it was funny.
16:12I thought what was funny?
16:14The mop situation.
16:16What is this about a mop?
16:18Tiffany was just like, you need the mop next.
16:21No, she didn't.
16:22She was like, clean up on our floor.
16:25Stop.
16:26You're not that Dixie.
16:27You know exactly what's going on.
16:29Girl, I thought she was already gone.
16:31Bye.
16:31Now I'm talking to Stormy.
16:33She's one of Stormy minions.
16:36Kayla, how do you respond to Amber saying you throw a rock and hide your hands?
16:40It's definitely not true.
16:42First of all, she tried to say that our first meeting was Stormy introducing us and that I was aloof
16:48and that I skipped over her at my grand opening.
16:50But I actually invited Amber, so I knew her beforehand.
16:54In my Instagram DMs, Amber and I were cool.
16:58It was so good to see you at your event.
17:00Girl, we need to have lunch.
17:01I was blindsided.
17:02So yeah, I might have looked a little ditzy on the couch because where is this coming from?
17:07You did treat me away at your grand opening.
17:09That I invited you to.
17:10That you didn't realize it was me.
17:11Oh, there you go.
17:12I didn't realize it was her.
17:13Baby, your receipts are false.
17:14They're false?
17:15Okay, you know what?
17:16We can, let's scratch that one.
17:17Okay, next.
17:18Yeah, next.
17:18We all hung out in Stormy's bathroom.
17:20Amber was talking about the job she had done.
17:23Let me squeeze them, see how real they felt.
17:25What job?
17:26Boop job?
17:26Oh, no, baby.
17:27These are natural.
17:28Never.
17:28So are you denying that you...
17:30I never had any...
17:31Stormy, have I ever had anything done to my boobs?
17:33No.
17:33Wrong person.
17:34What's your next receipt?
17:35Let's do, uh, three days ago.
17:37Did I not show up and we hugged and you gave me a piece of cake and we took a
17:40picture?
17:41Did that happen?
17:41Because I wasn't gonna be rude to you because I'm a woman of grace?
17:44No.
17:44It's because you're fake.
17:46No.
17:47So Kayla, you're alleging that y'all were fine and you didn't find out until you were
17:54on the show that she had a problem with you.
17:56She didn't make up the fact that she had a problem with me until we were on the show,
17:59correct?
17:59I've done this.
18:00I've had cameras on me all of my life so I don't have to get on TV and act away
18:03because
18:03I'm very well respected around here.
18:06Okay.
18:06So Kayla, you made the comment under Kylan's post about doing illegal drugs.
18:12I fully understand why that wasn't appropriate now.
18:16So Amber, how do you feel about that?
18:18Just didn't like the sarcasm and things that she would post on social media.
18:21Like, she posted who's gonna fight my opps in the comments.
18:25My sister, Kylan's mom, sent it to us.
18:27We are clearly her opps on the show.
18:29No.
18:30First of all, it was on my page.
18:31What I'm not gonna do is apologize for me joking with my fans on my page.
18:35It wasn't even a post.
18:36It was in my own comments.
18:37I said, are y'all gonna, you know, pull up for me when the comments start getting crazy?
18:40You said fight.
18:41Yeah.
18:41Are y'all gonna fight my opps in the comments?
18:42Do you not think a fan could take that out of context?
18:45I did call you.
18:46Yeah.
18:46You talked and I said, sometimes what we say is not what's construed.
18:50But people ride for you whether you have ill intention or not.
18:54When you get into a public light, how you carry yourself, you have to be careful on the things that
18:58you say.
18:59But my people know what I was talking about.
19:00You know all of your followers personally.
19:02I don't have to know them personally.
19:03So you don't know if they'll really come fight?
19:05It was my page and I can say whatever I want on my page.
19:07How do everyone else feel about that, to go fight the opps in the comments?
19:10It's my page and I'm not, no.
19:11How do you feel about that?
19:12Because in your last experience, you dealt with fandom going way too far.
19:17To the point where you had to remove yourself from that situation.
19:21I've known Kayla for like six years.
19:23And I think it's unfortunate that she has to over explain everything.
19:28Yet that's not always the case amongst everybody.
19:31Now, as far as my situation, I had mother coming at me and I didn't have to say .
19:36So whether Kayla want to say something or not, people could watch this show and deem that they don't like
19:42Kayla based off the comments that's been said and come after her.
19:45They can look at Kayla's comment and want to go after Kyle and Amber because they can deem that she's
19:50saying that that's their opps.
19:51At the end of the day, we just gotta do better about how we handle each other and how we
19:56choose to give grace for real.
19:58Because some people can continue to paint a narrative about someone and she then get attacked because of that.
20:05For sure, but I'm talking about here.
20:06That's what I'm saying.
20:07When I asked you about this specific comment.
20:08And I just gave a specific answer.
20:09She can dance around questions.
20:11And I know, I know that's your friend.
20:12Because I was very clear.
20:13But off these cameras, I'm your friend too.
20:15I was very clear.
20:16She has a struggle when it comes to being direct.
20:20It wasn't a dance.
20:21So you just gonna have to be the bigger person.
20:23Do you need something more direct?
20:23And you just gonna have to give her grace.
20:24Well, Amber, what do you think about Sturman's response?
20:27Do you think it was direct?
20:30No.
20:30When it's time to ask her a question, Amber, you're gonna learn it.
20:34Listen to your friend.
20:34And I know, and I know, I know that's your friend.
20:38Do you feel like she was wrong for saying fight my ops in the comments?
20:42What did you mean by it?
20:43I meant don't let them dog me out in the comments for the show, when the show airs.
20:47It had nothing to do with them because at that point, I thought we were cool.
20:49Tiffany, you made a comment that you think Kayla is one of Stormi's minions.
20:55Amber, do you agree with Tiffany's assessment?
20:58Yes, based off what she said at boxing.
21:00You know, I'll text Stormi a hundred times and she may only respond back three,
21:03but I have to tell myself in my head that she's still a good friend.
21:06She's still a good friend.
21:06Oh, my God.
21:07How does that make me a minion?
21:08I know you lean on her for friendship, but I do feel like a lot of the things you do
21:12is just based off Stormi and her actions.
21:14Yeah, Stormi's definitely putting a battery in your back.
21:16Love.
21:17I'm gonna do her still.
21:18I guess.
21:19You know?
21:21I mean, do you?
21:22I don't give a about none of that .
21:24I don't understand why Kayla just can't be her own person.
21:27Why I gotta have something to do with me?
21:28Why?
21:28Because you're always sending her on a mission.
21:30Who sent her on a mission?
21:32You.
21:32Wait a minute.
21:33Wait.
21:33Who invited Kayla to eat?
21:35It don't matter how she got it.
21:36It doesn't matter.
21:37I'm gonna send her somewhere if you invited her.
21:38Well, in order for you to, if you wanna answer after you ask a question,
21:41you're gonna have to be quiet, love, so you can get it.
21:43How can I, no.
21:43Do you wanna answer?
21:44How did I send her?
21:45Do you wanna answer?
21:46No.
21:46Actually, I don't.
21:47I don't wanna answer.
21:48I would like the answer.
21:49You ain't talking to me.
21:50I'm talking to you.
21:51No, you're not.
21:52I'm talking to Stormi still.
21:53Okay.
21:54So when Kayla met with you and Kendra, you felt she was taking notes.
22:01If you go back and you look at that clip, you clearly see Sonetta, which was my friend,
22:07told you about the mop.
22:09You kept playing like you didn't know nothing about the mop when you clearly knew about
22:15the mop.
22:16Okay, let's talk about it.
22:17I will admit, and this is breaking news, the easiest thing to do is just to be honest.
22:23I'm just telling the truth.
22:24I did know all about the Civil Rights Institute, but the reason why I acted like I didn't know
22:29how civil rights went is because I wanted to hear your side of the story.
22:33Okay.
22:34You were extremely short about it.
22:36It was like you were trying to play her a little bit.
22:39You said something like, I was trying to be an adult about the situation, but she wasn't
22:42being mature.
22:43So hearing that, I was like, well, I know how it went from Stormi, and you saying that
22:48doesn't really match up.
22:49So I was just trying to press you to tell me everything that happened so that we could
22:52kind of match up the stories.
22:53That's why it seemed like I was pressing.
22:55Kayla, I 100% respect you for that, for being honest.
23:00But seriously, I was really coming to have lunch with you to share my heart.
23:06And when the cameras dropped, what did I tell you?
23:08I said, you disappoint me.
23:11Hmm?
23:11It doesn't seem, and you tell me if I'm crazy, it doesn't seem like there's a deep issue
23:16with the two of you.
23:17No, it's not.
23:17Right.
23:18So is it fair to say that you two can make amends based upon this misunderstanding?
23:23Yeah, I don't have an issue with her.
23:24So we had already made amends.
23:25Yeah.
23:26All right.
23:26Well, look.
23:27What did not make amends was a mop.
23:30So when we come back for shining a light on the messiest mop in the Magic City, find
23:36out where things really stand between Stormi and Tiffany when the Bell Collective Birmingham
23:41Reunion continues.
23:44Coming up.
23:45So for me, let me ask you a question.
23:46Who are you beyond the money?
23:48So for you.
23:49Who are you beyond the money?
23:49Why you like bringing up my money?
23:51No, you like to bring up your money.
23:53I like to up your character.
23:55You brought that up.
23:55It gave very much jealous.
23:57Welcome back to the Bell Collective Birmingham Reunion.
24:00It's the cause of the biggest beef since Drake and Kendrick.
24:05Can you believe that this could be the source of so much drama?
24:10One joke and several hurt feelings later.
24:14Let's take a look at the dirty mop that started it all.
24:19I just want to tell y'all, thank y'all so much for messing up my game night tonight.
24:22We knew we was coming here to host.
24:24I done picked up drinks and held doors.
24:27I need you to mop.
24:28Now I need you to mop.
24:29Definitely not doing that.
24:31Tiffany is crazy as hell.
24:32Al four score.
24:34We got it.
24:34No.
24:35There's no out here.
24:37She lucky that I didn't tell her that I'm going to mop the floor with her ass.
24:41Vanetta mentioned to me that you were offended by me making a mop comment.
24:44But why would you be mad about me being offended?
24:46I'm not mad.
24:47You got a lot of energy about it right now.
24:49You feel that way?
24:49It's not funny.
24:50So what do you have to say?
24:51It was funny to me.
24:52She thinks serving funny.
24:53I see what the real issue is.
24:55Darkness don't like light.
24:58Y'all be blessed.
24:58Have a great day.
25:00Boy, oh boy.
25:01I've done shows for almost 20 years, baby.
25:03And a mop has never been the cause of the drama.
25:06So look, Stormy, how do you feel about this mop coming in between the possibility of forming a friendship?
25:14It was unfortunate that it couldn't have been resolved a lot quicker and easier.
25:20How did we get so far removed from me being able to say I didn't like the mop coming and
25:25just it being...
25:26When did you say you didn't like the mop coming?
25:28I'm not finished.
25:28We big on finishing.
25:30So I'm on finish.
25:30I was fine at Civil Rights with having a conversation and thinking we can get to a place of we
25:36can move forward.
25:37But to come to me about the issue and to say that Sanetta said something, almost in a way to
25:43imply that I said something to Sanetta, which I did not, I didn't want to assume.
25:47I want to know what Sanetta said, but it was like this resistance and even speaking on it.
25:52And for me, I'm very clear, the whys matter to me.
25:56So I wanted to know, like, what did Sanetta say?
25:59I'm big on taking accountability, but I can't take accountability for something that I don't know if I offended you
26:06or not.
26:07So, Stormy, in hindsight, the moment you felt offended, do you wish you would have addressed it in the moment?
26:13No, my mind was on the live. My first celebrity collaboration, our first million dollar live stream of the year,
26:20a 52 hour event that I'd never done before.
26:22My mind was on that.
26:24I actually apologized to her at the Civil Rights Institution.
26:27I said, I offended you, I apologize, how can we move forward?
26:32You did not take accountability and express how you felt.
26:35However, I still gave you apology, did I not?
26:39The problem is, Carla...
26:40Did I not? That's a question.
26:41I'm not answering your question.
26:42Well, I forgot, you don't know how to answer questions, and that's the issue.
26:46The problem with it is, if you can bring up Sanetta, why you couldn't be warm enough in the moment
26:50to go ahead and let me know what the f*** you knew what we was talking about?
26:54Because we ain't finna play a game with telephone, I'm going directly to the store.
26:57And this is how you offended me.
26:59What make you think I wasn't gonna talk to you, Tiffany?
27:00You didn't.
27:00I didn't tell you to call my number.
27:02I didn't know you and was not going to entertain you doing a multi-million dollar week.
27:06You had my number. You had my number.
27:07Not happening.
27:07You always circle back to the money.
27:09So, when you ask you a question, who are you beyond the money?
27:12So, for you to...
27:13Who are you beyond the money?
27:13Why do you like bringing up my money?
27:15Because you...
27:15No, you like to bring up your money.
27:17I like to f*** up your character.
27:18You brought that the problem.
27:19I bring up the character.
27:19It gave very much jealous.
27:21You were in the car talking about me and money before we got to civil rights.
27:26She seemed like the type of person that's all about her success or all about her money.
27:31And when you base, like, who you are off of that stuff, like, there is no substance.
27:36I talked to my friend about it, but then I came directly to you.
27:39How did I offend you?
27:40It gave you Katie and you pressed about a mop.
27:44That's what it gave.
27:45They f*** went funny.
27:45It gave that you pressed about a mop.
27:47That's what it gave.
27:47It gave that f*** went funny.
27:48You were f***ed about a mop.
27:49Your hair looked like a goddamn mop today.
27:52I keep telling you.
27:53Hold on.
27:53Hold on.
27:53You didn't have nothing to say about them.
27:56You didn't have nothing to say about them.
27:58Let us talk, Fumi.
28:00Let us talk, Fumi.
28:01You're a woman of God, right?
28:02You're a woman of God.
28:02I am from God.
28:03Stop with the insults.
28:04Well, don't do that shit.
28:05Don't do the insults.
28:06That's what I'm saying.
28:07Okay, okay.
28:08Because you jealous and you cannot be me, ho.
28:11That's what it is.
28:12Girl, I would like to hear from Fumi.
28:14Fumi.
28:15At the end of the day, if somebody tells you they're offended, you apologize.
28:19I did apologize.
28:20But what I'm not gonna do, Fumi, is constantly apologizing for something that I already did.
28:26For me, it was the tone.
28:28The moment anybody said anything about it, you already had your bristles up.
28:34You hadn't even allowed me time to have a conversation with you.
28:38That could've went a million ways.
28:40But the tone, the attitude.
28:42I wanted Sanita said, okay, what's Sanita say?
28:45Let me make sure we talking about the same thing.
28:47It's like, man, you don't do all that if you ain't mean no harm.
28:50You don't remember if it's our four or our seven if you weren't trying to be disrespectful.
28:56Because it's easy for a mother like me to get put in that box.
29:01It's easy.
29:02Oh, she got this.
29:03She got that.
29:03I think I'm that.
29:04See?
29:05I told you.
29:06Can you tell me about your character?
29:07No, but I can show you.
29:09I can show you.
29:09And what you have shown me, that's why I keep coming.
29:11And I walk in there every day.
29:12I done lived through my .
29:13Like I said, I done had it.
29:14I done lost it.
29:15I done got it back.
29:16I done did the mother work.
29:18I don't want to keep going back and forth.
29:20This ain't funny to me.
29:22God has blessed me with a lot.
29:23I'm very clear on that.
29:25I take care of a lot of people.
29:26You do that.
29:27Each that I've done, the mother will never know.
29:30God loves me.
29:31And I love him.
29:32Everybody know that who know me.
29:34Because they know this I do.
29:36They know how hard I go.
29:37So for a joke to be made into that, because now you was there to serve, what's the problem?
29:42That can't be funny.
29:43So you should have never been playing with me like this.
29:46And he does love you.
29:47And I'm so grateful that you know that he loves you.
29:49But let's go back and let's be real.
29:50And I'm done.
29:51OK, so what we're going to do.
29:52And I'm done.
29:53We're just getting the tip of the iceberg.
29:55Coming up, we're taking a trip to Stormi's house.
29:58But does her estate have enough acres to hold space for all this drama?
30:03We'll find out after the break.
30:07Coming up.
30:07She thinks we are all minions.
30:10And I want to disabuse her of that thought.
30:12You've been at me.
30:13And it has something to do with her.
30:15Quiet.
30:15Why I got to be beat?
30:16Be quiet.
30:16Be quiet.
30:17Hold on.
30:20We're back.
30:21And we have a very special guest joining us.
30:26Y'all ready for this, Parson?
30:29No.
30:31Rey got our special guest.
30:33Oh, my God.
30:34Oh, my goodness.
30:39Oh, my God.
30:43I need her hair and makeup team.
30:45Can you tell them to call me?
30:47You'll be leaving comments under the Mops page either, Kayla.
30:50OK, keep it cute, Kayla.
30:52Thank you for joining us, Mops.
30:54All right.
30:54Oh, my God.
30:55When the ladies all hopped in the Sprinter and headed out to Stormi's estate, it looked like peace was on
31:02the horizon.
31:03But things got claustrophobic and ended with Tiffany and Stormi still needing space from each other.
31:11Let's take a look.
31:13Who's that?
31:14Who's that?
31:17Yeah, ma'am, let me get that seat, baby.
31:18This seat?
31:19OK.
31:19I'm claustrophobic, so I hate my Stodd's clothes now.
31:22Of course.
31:25What's funny?
31:26You.
31:26How so?
31:28You just changed your seat.
31:29That was funny to me.
31:30Because I'm claustrophobic?
31:31No.
31:32It was funny.
31:33I didn't know that you was there until just now.
31:35You laugh a lot about stuff.
31:36I do.
31:37You want to go home?
31:38I mean, I can.
31:40You can.
31:40Yeah, I can go now.
31:41Go ahead.
31:42Y'all and it's music, Kat.
31:43You have a great day, ladies.
31:45You do, too.
31:45I definitely feel called in the middle of this.
31:48Neither one of them bags down.
31:49Both of them, they can.
31:52Get the out, girl.
31:53Get out.
31:53You doing too much.
31:55Amber, get your friend.
31:56Get that bitch.
31:57Now I'm a B-word.
31:57Get your mother .
31:58Now I'm a B-word.
31:59Get her.
32:00Now I'm a B-word.
32:01Get the hoe.
32:01She got to go.
32:02Now I'm a A-word.
32:03You all of that.
32:04You got a rude ass bitch.
32:14Nothing, nothing, nothing.
32:15Maybe them other bills, but not me, honey.
32:18Not me.
32:19Stormi is a person that feels empowered
32:22because she has money.
32:26So, Amber, what we did see was you get emotional
32:28when Stormi kicked Tiffany out of her home.
32:31Did you think that was the right thing for Stormi to do?
32:35If she felt like she was disrespected in her home,
32:37that's her home.
32:38Mm-hmm.
32:38I didn't think that Tiffany should have laughed
32:40based off of all the history that has happened.
32:43And Stormi, did I feel like she should have called her
32:45out of her name and et cetera?
32:46No.
32:47But as far as kicking her out, if she felt disrespected
32:49and she didn't want that in her home, she could do that.
32:51That's her home.
32:52Did you feel like you were stuck in the middle
32:54because these are two of your friends?
32:57In real life, I don't pick sides.
32:59I do feel like if anybody could have helped resolve it faster,
33:03it could have been Amber,
33:05because she's the only one who knows us both.
33:06You're right.
33:07Tiffany, let me ask you this.
33:09Okay.
33:09Do you think Stormi leans heavily on her money
33:13to gain respect out of people?
33:14Yes.
33:15We was at the civil rights institution.
33:17Chanel said,
33:18you would talk to a woman that is a multimillionaire like that?
33:23Because why would anybody ask a multimillion-dollar CEO
33:25to pick up a mop?
33:27What does that matter?
33:27I would never ask...
33:28It does matter.
33:29If you didn't feel that way,
33:30you would have stepped in and you would have said something.
33:33Because what Stormi did do,
33:34she stood to my best friend, Kendra, and she said,
33:37as you being the first lady,
33:40how would you feel if someone tell you to go mop?
33:43I didn't say that.
33:43You did say that, Stormi?
33:44No, I did not.
33:45You did say that.
33:46Chanel said that.
33:47Like, if I met you for the first time
33:49and you come to my space and I say,
33:50Kendra, Kendra, mop, I'll clean up on aisle eight,
33:53but I don't know you.
33:54I don't know what your energy is.
33:57Okay, let's just say Chanel said it.
33:59Okay, if she did, my apology.
34:01If I'm blaming you, you know, my apology.
34:03Thank you for apologizing.
34:04Why you didn't step in?
34:06Because I didn't have to.
34:07I don't have to do what pleases you, Tiffany.
34:10I don't have to do what pleases you.
34:12But what I'm saying is...
34:13You can't judge my character on what I didn't say.
34:16I can.
34:17You were talking about what Chanel said.
34:19That's not right.
34:19I want to ask, do you three ladies feel like Stormi leans with her money?
34:23No, not at all.
34:24No.
34:25Not at all.
34:26No.
34:27But I'm offended.
34:27So there's a lot of issues that I have with the things that went on.
34:33The leading with the money is one of them.
34:36Also, when you were in the car, on the phone with your husband,
34:38you said, I don't need her like the other girls.
34:41Which goes back to, I think Stormi...
34:42Other girls meaning you girls.
34:44Clearly us.
34:45Okay.
34:45Meaning Stormi's leading with her money.
34:46That's why they're all running towards her.
34:48Do you feel like they need Stormi?
34:51Yes.
34:52And I feel like they think that they need Stormi to stay on this show.
34:55I want to ask Amber, do you feel indebted to Stormi to remain on this show
34:59or to be a part of this show?
35:00Not to remain on the show.
35:02Now, as far as us getting on the show, the show was centered around Stormi,
35:05so the people coming on the show had to be connected to her,
35:08connected to somebody who knew her.
35:09But as far as remaining on the show, I think it's based off all of our performances.
35:14Not really. I'm just gonna leave it like this.
35:15She thinks that we are all...
35:18Sucking up.
35:19...minions, in better words, for Stormi, because we want something out of it.
35:22Right.
35:22And I want to disabuse her of that thought, especially when it comes to me.
35:26I don't need anybody.
35:28The thing about it is since you've been at me, and it has something to do with her.
35:30It has nothing to do with her.
35:32When he came out here about the dog...
35:34It has nothing to do with...
35:34Why, why, why I gotta be being...
35:35Be quiet. Be quiet.
35:36No, no, no.
35:37Be quiet. Let me finish.
35:39Go ahead.
35:40But it's so...
35:41So it's not okay for me to tell you to be quiet, but it's okay for you to call me
35:44Bs and Hs.
35:45Okay, I would like you to finish.
35:46Be quiet.
35:46Hold on, hold on, hold on.
35:47It's a lot.
35:48Tiffany, I would like you to finish.
35:50Go ahead.
35:50I'm trying my best to stay calm, but what I...
35:55I can't keep taking all of the girls trying to jump on me and not speaking the truth.
36:01You feel that Fumi is giving you energy tonight that you did not expect.
36:07Correct, and it had nothing to do with her.
36:09When you around Stormi, you give me a different energy.
36:15We're back, and there's still so much to unpack.
36:18The ladies made one last attempt at settling their differences at the Last Supper.
36:24Let's take a look.
36:27So is this like the Last Supper?
36:29I would hope this is the first of many amazing suppers.
36:33Well, this is a beautiful gathering.
36:35Oh, and the wine goblets.
36:37Look at this.
36:39The Last Supper theme is not appropriate for us.
36:41I'm a pastor's kid.
36:43The Last Supper is all about sacrifice.
36:45I can't even begin to make my mind figure out a correlation between Jesus' last meal
36:52with his disciples and a group of girls fighting about mops and brooms.
36:56Exactly.
36:56I would like the opportunity to humble myself.
36:59Wow.
37:00And give you guys a foot bath.
37:02The one act and the most powerful act in the Bible around it was when Jesus washed his
37:08disciples' feet.
37:09And if we're going to talk about service to this capacity, then everybody should be able
37:15to serve in the way in which he did.
37:20So Fumi, we saw that you had an issue with the Last Supper theme.
37:24Why did you say it in your interview versus saying it in the moment?
37:29In the moment, it was about Tiffany and Stormi.
37:33So one thing about you, Fumi, is that you say that you are direct.
37:37And you have been very vocal when it comes to me.
37:40But if you go look at that Last Supper very clear, you're like,
37:44Oh, Stormi, I think this is so beautiful what you did.
37:47I think this is amazing.
37:49But then when you go to your interview, you're like,
37:51No, something is wrong with this.
37:52I don't like this.
37:53I don't like that.
37:55It's like...
37:56Did you know I called Stormi and told her I didn't like it?
37:58You didn't.
37:59You're just assuming things.
38:00What did she say to you, Stormi?
38:02I don't want to talk to you about...
38:04Okay.
38:04I want to let you know what she said when me and her had a private conversation.
38:07I'm confused.
38:07I don't know what we're talking about.
38:08You mean at Sonetta's event?
38:09Yeah.
38:09You said, Yeah, I told her that I needed a pedicure.
38:13You said, No, I just got a pedicure.
38:15My feet and my nails.
38:16I wasn't about to let her wash my feet.
38:19You said it had nothing to do with culture.
38:22Stormi, and I told you.
38:22You told me that.
38:23I also told Stormi.
38:24Okay, so hold on.
38:25Tiffany, did the theme of The Last Suburb make you feel uneasy?
38:30Good child.
38:31Felt like it was inappropriate.
38:33Did you feel it was blasphemous?
38:34Absolutely.
38:35I've been talking about the moment of, you know, how Jesus served his disciple.
38:40I think that she took that and she made a performance out of it and made a joke out of
38:46it and was mocking God.
38:48Did you try to make a mockery of God or Tiffany's beliefs by having The Last Supper?
38:55I went in there to have a great outcome and a great outcome came.
39:01And I think that's because in spite of anybody's feelings, they all participated and it turned out to be great.
39:07But I can say for people who are, like, super religious, right, and understand the Bible in its entirety, I
39:16respect how they can perceive that.
39:19And I'm aware now.
39:20You understand what I'm saying?
39:22So in this process, in this Bell Collective, I am so grateful for the relationships that I've gotten to, like,
39:30create and curate deeper.
39:31Like, Fumi's energy is amazing.
39:35Kayla, I got to know Kayla more deeply.
39:37She was savage.
39:38She got this on mud.
39:40I respect that more than anything.
39:42I feel like I got to know Amber even more deeply through this process.
39:45You know?
39:46I can say, too, like, I wish we had been closer in this.
39:50I feel like there was distance and I hated that.
39:53And I knew it was because you didn't want to be in the middle of this.
39:56I probably should have been like, hey, what do you want me to do?
39:58I know we had a conversation after couples night.
40:00I just wish we could have talked.
40:02Yeah.
40:02In general, not even about the show.
40:04Mm-hmm.
40:05Just about how you were feeling.
40:06Yeah.
40:09Well, why you didn't call and ask me?
40:11I feel like when I did, it was like a shut down.
40:14A shut down in what way?
40:17Oh, y'all don't have us crying again.
40:19A shut down in what way?
40:21Oh.
40:22Like, I know you so well.
40:24Mm-hmm.
40:24And I can tell you didn't want to talk about this at all.
40:26Yeah.
40:27So I didn't bother you.
40:28Because you know it was very uncomfortable for me to do in the first place.
40:30I know, but I just wanted to know how my friend was doing.
40:33Yeah.
40:33I didn't even get a chance to know about IVF because you were filming it.
40:36Mm-hmm.
40:36Like, I was hurt.
40:38Yeah.
40:38Moving forward, let us not do that.
40:40Yeah.
40:40Because we did that.
40:41Yeah.
40:42It happened.
40:42Mm-hmm.
40:43Mm-hmm.
40:43It did.
40:44Yeah.
40:45Oh.
40:46I love that.
40:50Well, on that note, I'd like to propose a toast.
40:54Jamie, please bring out the glasses.
40:57All right, ladies, come a little closer.
40:59I don't bite.
41:01So look, from fight to feet washing, you all survived your first season.
41:07Congratulations, Belles, and many, many more.
41:10Cheers.
41:11Yes.
41:12The bell.
41:14The bell.
41:15The bell.
41:15Ring, ring.
