00:09I never said anything like that.
00:13So don't do that.
00:14This is what we not going to do.
00:16I'm going to go check on Tambra.
00:18Tambra.
00:19Tambra.
00:20Girl, I refuse to argue with someone I don't even know.
00:27Right.
00:28I don't even know this girl.
00:29She just want to be a part of what y'all got going on.
00:31I don't know her.
00:32And then you got Latrice not coming because of you?
00:36Do you feel that you could come inside and just talk?
00:38No.
00:39This is not me.
00:40And I'd be doggone up if I'm finna let her take me out of my
00:42character, which she already did.
00:44Do you think you can come in just to see what she has to?
00:46No, hell.
00:47Girl, I think your girl that said there told me,
00:49don't point out finger in my face, I will whoop her.
00:51Do not play with me.
00:52I understand.
00:53I am tired of all the unnecessary drama, rumors,
00:59lies.
01:01I am just tired.
01:02I'll call you later.
01:03I don't know if Carrie is just being naive.
01:07Everything cannot get fixed with outside noise.
01:11Everything cannot get fixed over wine and food and drinks.
01:15No.
01:16It's not an easy fix like that.
01:18At least not for me.
01:19Not when you're playing with my name.
01:21Selena, I put on everything I love.
01:22I've never said anything about T-Shane.
01:24You've never said anything negative.
01:25Never.
01:26Because they said you was at T-Shane and you were just saying a lot of negative things
01:30about Letitia.
01:31OK.
01:32Supposedly when you were all black.
01:32Selena, Selena, I just asked.
01:33I don't like that.
01:34And I'm here to answer you.
01:35Because one thing I don't play about is my friends.
01:38So here's the thing.
01:39I will never sit at taste and talk about Letitia.
01:43Because let's be real.
01:44Ever since she started the collective, her and Latrice have been arguing, making up,
01:49breaking up.
01:50So why would I be at taste talking to her enemy about her?
01:54Hearing the bell say all of these things that they've heard that Shante supposed to
01:59said or he said or they said or whoever said, I'm definitely shocked.
02:03I'm confused as to where is this information coming from?
02:06Because none of this is true.
02:07I brought Shante around so that she can have my back because I felt like no one had my
02:13back.
02:14I've watched my friend go through a lot.
02:17I've watched my friend take the hits she should not have.
02:20Been accused of stuff that she did not do that she was not a part of.
02:23That hurts after so long.
02:25To me, protecting Letitia is going to Tisha and saying, Tisha, just be careful of this,
02:31this, this.
02:32It's not necessarily blowing things up every time.
02:35Have I not done that?
02:36Yeah.
02:36I've done that for years.
02:38I have been at you all's events.
02:40You're not listening to her, honey.
02:41She said she ain't here to do anything.
02:42Congratulations.
02:43Please.
02:44I love you.
02:45Who did this building them at the same time?
02:49Roger.
02:50This girl has tried to compete with me all years.
02:54This lady right here has been a trailblazer.
02:57Can we have your attention, please?
03:00Just because I started saying something, now it's a problem.
03:04So don't make it like, oh, I hadn't been around, and now that I'm around, it's drama.
03:08Because let's be clear, y'all don't need me to start drama.
03:11Y'all got situations where y'all don't like each other.
03:16Now, one thing I'm going to say now, when you're right, you're right.
03:19When you're wrong, you're wrong.
03:20And she was absolutely right on that one.
03:22I agree with her on that stance.
03:24Because we all had our, you know, our own issues with each other.
03:28And we don't need her for that.
03:30We are trying to rebuild, and I don't want things to whip up under the rug.
03:33And my main thing, and I can't say it enough, is when it's for me, and it's my time, we
03:39just have these same roundtables.
03:41We can't pick and choose which bail we want to protect.
03:44Had it been me standing in this group, I'm just asking.
03:47I want y'all to have a real conversation.
03:48I wish Tamara was here and Latrice.
03:50Had it been me in the group saying that I'm not coming to the give back if Amanda's there.
03:56Y'all think y'all would have had a roundtable?
03:58Nope.
04:03Y'all can't tell me y'all would have.
04:05Moving forward, we can't pick and choose who we want to bring into the collective.
04:09You want me to keep my friend, who is outside noise, away from the collective.
04:14But your friend, who's outside noise, can come in.
04:17It has to be across the board.
04:19Let's get it together.
04:20If the collective is really going to move forward and really get back on track,
04:26then I need the ladies to have the same energy for me that they have for Latrice.
04:31We're about to get out of here, y'all, but Selena, do a smile for me one more time.
04:35Yes.
04:35Oh!
04:37Let me go.
04:38We got no games now.
04:40Really, I don't play around.
04:42I'm running my bag up.
04:43None of y'all can't bring me down.
04:45I'm telling you my lightning mail on me.
04:48Could you explain to me exactly what a post-nup is?
04:51You're just trying to define financial responsibilities and certain things that you want to try to align and have insight
05:02about.
05:02Okay.
05:03It doesn't mean that you're headed for divorce, unless you are.
05:07Are you thinking about...
05:10Those type of questions, it makes you...
05:13It makes you think about divorce.
05:15Mm-hmm.
05:15So instead of looking at it as a precursor to separation, it is a protection in case of a separation.
05:24The terms of that post-nuptial has to be fair.
05:28Right.
05:28It has to be cautionable.
05:30You know, meaning that a reasonable person in their right mind would find this.
05:37Right.
05:37Tisha and I, we've been through rough patches, but right now, it's different.
05:42It's way heavier than anything that I ever experienced before.
05:46Hearing that the post-nup, you know, protects Tisha and I, it kind of gives me a peace of mind.
05:52It's just the disrespect for me.
05:55For her to feel like I would come after her money, it's a low blow to me.
06:00So let me ask you this.
06:02If we did get divorced...
06:05Mm-hmm.
06:06How would it look for me?
06:07What, like, with my assets and my 401K and life insurance and policies?
06:13Now that it's still marital property...
06:15That is marital property, just like, yes.
06:16She's entitled to...
06:17Yeah.
06:19Mm-hmm.
06:20So it's a catch-22 for me.
06:21It is not a catch-22.
06:23It's not like a catch-22 to me.
06:24It's not a catch-22 because the things that she is acquiring is also...
06:29Goes into the division of assets for your benefit as well.
06:33Mm.
06:34And I'm just putting it out there.
06:36She may be thinking, you know, I'm going to separate some funds.
06:40I'm gonna open up me an account.
06:42Mm-hmm.
06:42And I'm gonna funnel those funds over here.
06:44And that's not gonna be for him.
06:46No, because once you start issuing subpoenas and you get to the divorce table and we see
06:50that you have, you know, accumulated all of this, while you have been the supportive
06:56husband financially backing her, then you contributed to the success of those businesses.
07:03It's funny how you can see that, but a lot of people can't quite focus in on that point,
07:08I feel like.
07:09I surmise that other folks are not lawyers.
07:13You're talking to the street committee.
07:15Okay.
07:16Yeah.
07:16Good point.
07:17I sit down with this attorney and she's seeing how much I support my wife within 10 minutes.
07:23My wife doesn't seem to get that same memo, and it's been over 30 years.
07:28So I'm trying to see what the hell is wrong with her eyes.
07:32So you think I should do a post-nup or no?
07:36I do.
07:38Do you love your wife?
07:40Dearly.
07:40You love her?
07:41I love her.
07:41You still love her?
07:42I'm still in love.
07:43Have the conversation.
07:44Be open about it.
07:46Approach it differently than the way that you have been.
07:50Get in front of it.
07:51Don't wait for the ball to drop.
07:52I can't do that.
07:53Yeah.
07:54Thank you, Ms. Luana.
07:55You call me anytime?
07:56I sure will.
07:57I will be calling you.
07:59There's no doubt about that.
08:00Okay.
08:01You know, when I first heard Tisha speak of a post-nup,
08:05yes, I most definitely viewed it as a bad idea.
08:09But, you know, after speaking with the attorney, I have a better understanding,
08:13but I still don't agree with it.
08:15Because where you going?
08:17All right.
08:17Have a good day, Mr. Pierce.
08:19All right, you too.
08:19Yes, ma'am.
08:19All right.
08:23Coming up on Bell Collective.
08:25Latrice and I was talking.
08:27I said, Tara told me that you heard what I said to Selena at your birthday party.
08:33You brought it to Selena.
08:34I don't know.
08:35And what?
08:36It's tacky.
08:37They had black people locked up for the you doing right now.
08:40My dad was in the hospital.
08:41Latrice was the only Bell that called me every single day.
08:46And I appreciate you for that.
08:48I love you.
08:49I love you, too.
08:50No, thank you.
08:50Marie, you haven't said it.
08:52Like, here is a liar.
08:53You know, flip-flopping and lying are two different things.
08:56Uh-uh.
08:56See how you asked me?
08:57See, now you're taking me to this.
08:59See?
09:07Hi.
09:10Welcome to Pokestop.
09:11How are you?
09:12I am doing great.
09:13I'm excited to try out this place.
09:17Trust me, this town is hot.
09:21Hi.
09:22Welcome.
09:23Hey.
09:24Hi.
09:25Aren't you so funny?
09:27How are you?
09:28How are you?
09:30How are you?
09:31Doing good, girl.
09:32Doing good.
09:35Teresa and I are hosting an influencer event here in Jackson for Black Girl Vitamins.
09:39I'm so excited to tell the girls about it, because it's providing an amazing opportunity
09:44for these young ladies in Jackson to increase their careers in the influencer world.
09:51I'm so harder than a brat, than a brat, than a brat.
09:54Who gon' put me to the tat, to the tat, to the tat?
09:57Better saying what you're chatting.
09:58OK, roar.
10:00All right.
10:00OK, girl.
10:02Hey, ladies.
10:03Hey, ladies.
10:03Hi.
10:04You're looking so cute.
10:05I see.
10:07So I meet Keri and Marie today.
10:10I mean, I have not talked to them ever since this Shane Shantae luncheon.
10:14Child, I heard the bells loud and clear.
10:18So I will press pause on bringing Shantae near them.
10:22So I need to see what head space they're in, what they got going on, what's next.
10:27Let's see.
10:28How are you beautiful ladies doing?
10:30Doing great.
10:30Good.
10:31Good.
10:32Good.
10:33You're making it, y'all.
10:34Marie, your hair is so pretty.
10:35What did you do different?
10:36Girl, listen.
10:38I had to do a little one, too.
10:40I wanted to ask you.
10:41You're growing your hair out now, aren't you?
10:42It's growing out, yeah.
10:43Yeah.
10:43What's happening though?
10:43Well, I wanted to invite y'all.
10:45I'm doing an event called The Creator Collective here in Jackson because y'all know I'm a creator and so
10:51that's what I'm good at.
10:53And I want to give back to the city of Jackson.
10:56Good.
10:56And so I partnered with Black Girl Vitamins, which is a brand that I already work with and they have
11:02agreed to allow us to choose the top four candidates for their brand ambassadorship.
11:08Out of these Jackson ladies.
11:11Yes.
11:11Yes.
11:12At my influencer event, The Creator Collective, each young lady is going to have the chance to introduce herself, share
11:19her story, and from there, we'll narrow it down to the top four and the brand will have the opportunity
11:25to pick their ambassador.
11:26I just, I feel so excited to be able to give that to somebody, you know?
11:30So.
11:30Okay, so are you the only influencer?
11:32So, Treese and I are doing the event together.
11:34And you know, Treese has a brand.
11:41Well, I have a question.
11:43And please be quiet and don't cut me off.
11:46Okay.
11:47Leticia, you know, invited you into The Collective.
11:49She's a brand herself.
11:51So you chose Latrice to collaborate with over Leticia and she brought you into this hood.
11:58I said, don't say nothing.
11:59You know, Treese and I met up months ago and we were just talking about businesses.
12:03I kind of want to do an influencer meetup in Jackson at some point.
12:06Whenever, you know, I'm up for anything.
12:08That's what we do, honey.
12:10We do business.
12:10That's right.
12:11Come be an influencer, girl.
12:12Join the world, y'all.
12:13I'm fine.
12:14We can work with something.
12:16Look, I'm an influencer.
12:17She works with influencers, really.
12:18But she's not an influencer.
12:20But she's in this business.
12:22Because she owns a brand.
12:23Okay, well, Leticia have a brand.
12:25You know, Women Brunch, Mississippi.
12:26She own.
12:27Okay, so like a product.
12:28So I'm just trying to...
12:28Her hair, air control, all the stuff.
12:31Okay.
12:32Leticia is the reason Carrie is here and you excluded her?
12:36Carrie know the type of crowd that Leticia pulls at all of her events.
12:42For her to choose Latrice over Leticia, it just doesn't make sense to me.
12:48And this is where it takes me all the way back to my lunch.
12:52Where the collective had Latrice's back over everyone else's.
12:57Had it been me in the group saying that I'm not coming to the give back if Amanda's there.
13:03Y'all think y'all would have had a round table?
13:05Nope.
13:06It's starting to feel like Leticia is right about the collective is picking and choosing who they want to protect.
13:14That really doesn't sit well with me right now.
13:17Like, I don't believe that you don't understand what I'm saying.
13:20Like, am I only supposed to partner with you guys?
13:22Say what now?
13:23I'm just asking, like, am I only supposed to partner on things with y'all?
13:26No.
13:27Because we've worked on something before.
13:28Can we have your attention, please?
13:31It is an honor to be able to relaunch Women Brunch, Mississippi.
13:35I just want to thank you for coming here and highlighting my restaurant and choosing us to have your launch.
13:40Y'all, let's give it up again.
13:41I know.
13:41I may be crying, girl.
13:43I'm crying.
13:43You know I get emotional.
13:45I don't care who you partner with.
13:46I don't care what.
13:48Well, Marie obviously does.
13:49I'm just asking.
13:50I don't know.
13:51I know, but it feels very messy.
13:53I don't care how Kara tried to sit here and defend herself.
13:56Girl, you have picked a side.
14:00You picked Latrice.
14:01You chose Latrice over Leticia.
14:04It is what it is.
14:05I'm not trying to be messy.
14:06Let me just be clear.
14:07Marie, you're absolutely trying to be messy.
14:08No, I'm not.
14:11This is a y'all.
14:12This is a y'all.
14:17I don't move like that.
14:18I'm too.
14:19I'm too.
14:19I'm too.
14:19I'm too.
14:19But OK.
14:20Are y'all, y'all acting?
14:22You gonna learn to quit bringing people into this.
14:24Y'all, is this high school?
14:25Wait.
14:26This really don't surprise me.
14:28Carrie has been shady from the jump.
14:30And it's beginning to disrupt the collective at this point.
14:34I got Jackson, the city, but we got Jackson County for all that wretchedness.
14:38I know you ain't kind of jack the ranching now.
14:41Y'all know Jackson is ranching.
14:43How could something off of social media end up in the collective about my fiance?
14:49And, Trice, you know, you and I talked about it.
14:51And I mean, but somebody else mentioned it because they said that you were sitting at the party.
14:54Oh, no, Snowman.
14:55Look, that's not the truth.
14:57Nobody didn't hear me talking about that.
14:59That's not true.
15:00Latrice and I was talking.
15:01I said, Carrie told me that you heard what I said to Selena at your birthday party.
15:07I heard it from Tamra and I've always said from the beginning.
15:09That's not what you initially said.
15:10I said, you brought it.
15:12You brought it to the collective, Marie.
15:13You the one that sat there and you told Selena.
15:15Tamra heard you whether she was being sussling or not.
15:18You know, I'm talking very clearly.
15:19You a damn lie.
15:20You said a lie.
15:21You a lie.
15:22But you said I wasn't even right there.
15:24That doesn't even make sense.
15:25You brought it to Selena.
15:26And what?
15:28What are you saying?
15:29It's terrible.
15:30It's tacky.
15:30It's classy.
15:31It's all those things.
15:31Man, let me tell you one goddamn thing.
15:33Hey, hey, hey.
15:34You're pissing me off right now.
15:36You have black people locked up for the doing right now.
15:39So don't play with me.
15:40I'm not.
15:41Don't tell me nothing to mother face.
15:43Hey.
15:43You tell me what you heard me say.
15:49Coming up on Bell Collective.
15:51Now I'm starting to look at Tisha.
15:52Tisha, you guys are used to this back and forth and back and forth and back and forth.
15:56This chaotic relationship.
15:57You do it the same with your relationship with your marriage.
16:00Maybe, Tisha, you don't know how to be a friend because you're used to these friends
16:03that you're calling your friends who really are not friends.
16:06Oh, my God.
16:12Let me ask something.
16:13You'll get somebody sent to jail, man.
16:14What the she doing?
16:16And you brought her into this motherfucker.
16:17Damn.
16:18This is so ratchet.
16:19I should have brought my T-shirt.
16:20Oh, my God.
16:21Whatever.
16:22Ratchet.
16:22Whatever.
16:23Whatever.
16:23I'm a real bitch.
16:25I'm her.
16:25I can see that.
16:26I am her.
16:26I can see that.
16:27Can we move on, y'all?
16:28Yeah, we can.
16:29Can we move on?
16:29Yeah, we can.
16:30Next.
16:31Take, bring it back.
16:32Oh, you're coming for the event now.
16:33I'm going to be there.
16:35OK.
16:36I'm going to be there.
16:37Although things got heated at lunch with Carrie at the end of the day,
16:41I am always in support of the collective.
16:45Is this something positive?
16:47I'm showing up.
16:48I hope you guys have an amazing event.
16:50I hope that y'all find great brand ambassadors for your client.
16:55Minus you.
16:56By the end of this conversation, I am definitely siding with Marie.
17:00Because Carrie not even considering me to collaborate with her
17:06and siding with Latrice.
17:08I'm sitting here wondering where do I actually stand with Carrie
17:11and if the loyalty is being returned.
17:15Have a good day.
17:17I need a refill.
17:31Work hard, just live like this.
17:33Hey, girl.
17:35Hi, girl.
17:36Hey.
17:38Hey, Marie.
17:40Hey, Marie.
17:40I want to pull up on you, Annie.
17:42Yeah, you're really.
17:43Today, I am pulling up on Latrice.
17:46Because she was not at Marie's lunch.
17:49Because Leticia's friend, the girl, she was there.
17:54I also invited Selena.
17:56Because something tells me this conversation
17:58is about to get very interesting.
18:03Real friends.
18:05They had to come back.
18:09Loyalty.
18:11It's time to come back.
18:16Oh, my gosh.
18:17I love your earrings.
18:20Yes, honey.
18:21My friend is actually amazing.
18:22Yes.
18:23They look like the earrings Selena bag.
18:25Yes.
18:26Yes.
18:26And I'm surprised that Tim would like this style.
18:29It's so cute.
18:30It's in a minute since I've seen my girl Selena in person.
18:34Last time I checked, she was in Columbia,
18:36getting her new smile.
18:37And I'm just excited to see her today.
18:39I know they were going all time.
18:41Because you pulled up like the police.
18:43You want to take a sip of your drink?
18:45Because you're going to need it for this conversation.
18:47All right.
18:47Yes.
18:48You missed an event that Marie invited us all to.
18:52I told her that if the Chante girl comes,
18:54that I wasn't going to come.
18:56I want to host a get-together.
18:58Is Chante going to be there?
18:59All of us to get together.
19:01And you all let Leticia know how y'all feel.
19:03I'm going to pray on it.
19:04Pray on it.
19:05I was like, I'm going to pray about it.
19:07And my prayers were answered.
19:08And God woke me up and said, don't go.
19:10If I really, really, really knew you weren't going to be there.
19:14You were going to ask.
19:14Like, oh my goodness.
19:16What happened?
19:17Girl, we got into it like finger pointing.
19:20And I didn't leave.
19:20That is not you at all.
19:22I walked out.
19:23So now you want to stand up.
19:24But you didn't stand up for my friend.
19:26Now I ain't standing up trying.
19:26Who are you yelling at?
19:27Who are you yelling at?
19:28Let me tell you.
19:29Get your finger out my face.
19:30Let me tell you.
19:31And everything.
19:32Nobody.
19:33She's not a bell.
19:34I'm sorry.
19:35She's not.
19:35Now I heard about West Side 10.
19:38So I said.
19:39You're a black woman, right?
19:41So.
19:41I'm a contender talk.
19:43That's what I get paid to do.
19:45No, no, no.
19:45They asked what I said.
19:46And I'm going to stand up with the you said.
19:48That's what you said.
19:49I can't deal with the negative right now, girl.
19:51I promise I can't.
19:53I got the opportunity to see it in person.
19:56Because I was scared.
19:57I want to tell them.
19:59It's supposed to be about the bells and us moving as a collective.
20:03If you all wanted to talk to Shantae, you're talking about outside noise.
20:07Yes.
20:08She is outside noise.
20:09My thing is, why is Shantae even around?
20:12Why is she coming within the collective?
20:14She is such a non-factor to me.
20:16But she causes the most issue.
20:20Like now I'm starting to look at Tisha.
20:22Maybe because you guys are used to this back and forth and back and forth and back and forth.
20:27This chaotic relationship.
20:29Maybe you're used to chaos.
20:31You do it the same with your relationship with your marriage.
20:33We've seen the ups, the downs, the ups and downs.
20:36It's a lot of chaos.
20:37So you're used to the chaos.
20:38Maybe Tisha, you don't know how to be a friend because you're used to these friends that you're calling your
20:43friends who really are not friends.
20:45Oh my God.
20:46At Marie's lunch.
20:48I did feel like in that moment, I'm just like, this does not feel right because Latrice is not here.
20:53She's not here because of an outsider.
20:56And I don't feel right being here.
20:59And I didn't.
21:00And I left.
21:00Thank you, friend.
21:01I left.
21:02Thank you for standing beside me.
21:04You always checked on me after my pregnancy.
21:07Mm-hmm.
21:08Afterwards, I was dealing with stuff.
21:10My dad was in the hospital.
21:12Latrice was the only bell that called me every single day.
21:16And I appreciate you for that.
21:18I love you, friend.
21:20I love you, too.
21:20No, thank you.
21:21I know.
21:22I checked on you, but it wasn't every single day.
21:23It wasn't every day.
21:25It wasn't every day.
21:25You did, too, friend.
21:26I checked on you, too, friend.
21:28I am really grateful for Latrice and Selena.
21:36Especially Latrice, because she has shown up even when she didn't need a reason to show up.
21:41I appreciate her so much.
21:44And vice versa, like, you helped me out when it came to so many different things.
21:48Like, you know, Tamra's gonna pray with you.
21:50She's gonna say, I'm gonna keep you on the straight and narrow, honey.
21:53I wasn't trying to make you proud, but I definitely wanted you to know that.
21:58Tamra is the definition of a real friend.
22:00I have known Tamra for years, even before there was a collective.
22:05Tamra is really loyal, and this is something that the collective needs to embody and implement.
22:10Tamra is the example of what a collective should be.
22:14So what do y'all think we gotta do to move forward?
22:18Latrice has said that she was okay with not bringing her friend around.
22:24She said that if we're supposed to move forward as a collective,
22:27you're gonna have to respect the collective.
22:29We want our foundation to be strong.
22:31Baby, because we shaky over here.
22:33We're very shaky.
22:34We already just trying to get back to sisterhood and get out the hood.
22:39That's what we're trying to do.
22:40We went back to the hood.
22:41She's trying to go back to the hood.
22:42We're trying to get two sisterhood.
22:44There should be zero outside noise right now.
22:46And let's work on getting our friend group back to what it was and building it and making
22:51it even stronger than it was before.
22:54Baby, let's cheer.
22:55To new beginnings.
22:57To new beginnings again.
23:02Coming up on Bell Collective.
23:04I feel a little bit frazzled after talking to Latisha and Marie questioning me on why I'm having an event
23:09with you.
23:10And I'm like, what?
23:11What were they saying?
23:12I'm a bad person to have an event with or something?
23:14No, it was just like, you're having an event with trees and you know, you're basically on Latisha.
23:21And I'm like, how?
23:22You knew it was gonna be all right.
23:25You ain't never ever got in your mind.
23:29You feel for the pressure and the competition ever.
23:32Even though I have a lot going on with taste, my obligations to my first business, it never stops.
23:39Taste is still new and up and coming.
23:41So I have to put more time within that business.
23:45But overall, Goddess Lent still needs me.
23:48And I stay on top of it no matter what.
23:57Well, hello.
23:58Hey, Kevin.
24:00Oh, my gosh.
24:01Give me a hug, girl.
24:05You're cute.
24:06You are too, as always, per use.
24:10Despite Marie having very salty feelings about me partnering with Latrice for this event, business has to be done.
24:19So I'm stopping by to talk with Latrice and to spill a little tea about some of the shade that
24:26was thrown at me.
24:27Girl, it's my first time being at the Goddess Lent.
24:30What?
24:31I was trying to figure out why is this your first time being here.
24:33Because what took you so long to get here?
24:36I've been to the Brit.
24:37You have when I invited you.
24:39So as you have invited me, I'm here.
24:43So what do I owe the pleasure?
24:45Girl, we gotta get this event situated, girl.
24:48I've been situating.
24:50Okay.
24:50So let's do a breakdown of this entire event in real life.
24:54We're doing the charcuterie roller.
24:55We're gonna have some people coming around with charcuterie and champagne.
24:59Oh, that perfect.
25:00All right.
25:00So you got the food covered.
25:01I got the run-up show.
25:02I got the influencers.
25:03We're gonna tell them where it's at.
25:05I think it's gonna be amazing for us to be able to provide this for somebody special to me.
25:09One of my main objectives as a business person is to give back.
25:13I have had so many people who have pulled me up and mentored me throughout the years.
25:20And partnering with Black Girl Vitamins is a huge deal.
25:25For somebody to receive this ambassadorship can change the trajectory of their whole career as a creator.
25:32And to be able to have this opportunity and present that to them is everything to me.
25:38We need to talk business, but it's like, I'm not gonna lie.
25:41I'm still a little bit frazzled after talking to Leticia and Marie about this event.
25:47About this event?
25:48Girl, questioning me on why I'm having an event with you.
25:50And I'm like, first of all, I ain't got an answer to nobody.
25:53What?
25:53I want to know what this conversation is.
25:54Girl, bad.
25:56It was terrible.
25:57It was bad.
25:57Terrible.
25:58High school.
25:58It was just like, you're having an event with trees and, you know, you're basically
26:04on Leticia.
26:05And I'm like, how?
26:06Like, now Leticia stood on her ground of saying that that was Marie's opinion and not hers.
26:11But I mean, she, her look was .
26:15As a collective, is this not what the collective is supposed to be about?
26:18Like, sisterhood coming together, supporting each other, like.
26:21Like, that shouldn't have even been asked.
26:22It should.
26:22I just felt like that was out of pocket and out of line.
26:24Like, am I gonna ask somebody, why are you doing something with her?
26:27I'm just gonna come for it.
26:28Right.
26:28This whole situation of questioning my loyalties, it just feels stale.
26:35And this kind of cattiness for Marie is really disappointing.
26:38And I'm not with that childish stuff.
26:40I'm really hoping that she'll do better.
26:42But I don't know.
26:43It's like, the mental acrobatics, I can't do it.
26:46I got enough with my real life.
26:48I got enough with this restaurant mobile.
26:50I don't know if it's gonna sell.
26:52I don't know if it's gonna close.
26:53Like, honestly, if somebody's questioning me being a friend to them, no, I'm questioning
26:57anybody being a friend to me bringing some smoke to me when I got real stuff going on.
27:01Because for real, now is not the time.
27:02So I get it.
27:03Like, we have a lot on our shoulders.
27:05Treece, you said...
27:06A restaurant itself.
27:07It's a lot.
27:08And these people don't understand.
27:10Like, honestly, me as an influencer, that's my bread and butter.
27:14Okay?
27:14Girl.
27:14So anybody coming for what I'm doing as an influencer, get from by me with that.
27:18I know.
27:19So, like, you gonna get the bass in my voice, because I don't play behind that.
27:22Everything that's going on within the collective is a little high school-ish.
27:26Like, it just takes me back to high school.
27:28Because, you know, like you said, I'm one and the same.
27:30Like, I got so much going on.
27:32You know, I'm dealing with a lot of stuff from the city when it comes to taste.
27:35Like, you know, I just have so much stuff that I'm dealing with.
27:39And I don't have time to indulge in this small...
27:44This big drama.
27:45Man, it's so...
27:46Everything is so small.
27:47Small compared to the stuff we got going on.
27:49At the end of the day, all this drama about me collaborating with Carrie
27:53cannot possibly get in the way of us hosting a great event.
27:57If Marie has something to say about it, she knows exactly where I am.
28:00I don't know.
28:01Like, I just honestly don't know when it comes to this collective
28:04if we're gonna ever get it together.
28:06Because it always seems like it's one thing after the next, after the next, after the next.
28:11We gotta grow up.
28:12And we just have to come together some type of way.
28:15Maybe this event will be what we need.
28:17Yes.
28:18So...
28:18To a great event.
28:20Collaboration over competition.
28:22All day, boo.
28:23That's right.
28:24We about to have this, girl.
28:25Yes.
28:27Coming up on Fell Collective.
28:30So now the second challenge is going to be to figure out
28:34what phrase these letters stand for.
28:39Y'all don't have to do good pushing apart it.
28:42I don't know.
28:42We'll be over eating.
28:44I'm so lost.
28:45All right.
28:48Yeah, yeah, yeah.
28:49Only goodbyes over here.
28:51Yeah, yeah, yeah.
28:52You can miss me with the negativity.
28:56Yeah, yeah, yeah.
28:56Only goodbyes over here.
28:58Yeah, yeah, yeah.
28:59Only goodbyes over here.
28:59Yeah, yeah, yeah.
28:59Only goodbyes over here.
29:00I'm hoping that today's event goes off without a hitch, because we are gonna be tasked with choosing
29:07the top four ladies to go on for a chance to be chosen as the next ambassador for Black Girl
29:15Vipers.
29:16This is so exciting!
29:19Turn it up a notch.
29:20Turn it up a notch.
29:21Everybody pouring up, pouring up shots.
29:23Be so rich.
29:25Be so paid.
29:26We get money.
29:27We get laid.
29:28Hi, hi.
29:29Well, hello.
29:31Oh, my God.
29:33What is it, Michelle?
29:34Mwah.
29:35Mwah.
29:36Michelle.
29:36Michelle is here.
29:37Obama.
29:38Mm-hmm.
29:39Hillary.
29:40Girl, you giving me so much Hillary.
29:42Hillary from?
29:42Hillary Banks.
29:43Banks.
29:44That one.
29:45Not the Quinn.
29:46Not the Quinn.
29:46Banks.
29:47Banks.
29:53Hello.
29:54That's Hillary.
29:56She coming here cute as usual.
29:58Mwah.
29:59It's a party, it's a party, it's a party.
30:01Ain't no sure we can live our lives.
30:04Here we're talking y'all ears out.
30:07My daughters and I, we are influencers.
30:10So I'm extra excited for this event.
30:12I want to see their talent, see what they can do.
30:15Like, this is right up my alley.
30:18Oh, oh.
30:19Hi, beautiful.
30:19How you doing?
30:21That's here.
30:22Come on, team player.
30:23All right.
30:24Come on, girl.
30:26I'm here.
30:27Hi.
30:27Come on, girl.
30:28Come on.
30:29Hi, y'all.
30:30Mwah.
30:31I am at Carrie's and Latrice's influencer event tonight.
30:35I don't know what to expect.
30:36I've never attended an influencer event before.
30:38But hey, I'm here to support these ladies.
30:41Y'all, this event has been produced in like three days.
30:44We gonna make it work.
30:45Girl, this is gonna be bomb.
30:47It's good now.
30:48I am super excited to be hosting this event with Carrie today.
30:51I've done my part with the food and drinks.
30:54The rest of everything else is on Carrie.
30:56Let's see what she got.
30:58Come on in.
30:59Nice.
30:59What you got going on?
31:01Girl, you made it, girl.
31:03You're cute.
31:03You're cute.
31:04You're cute.
31:05I can't lie.
31:06I still feel betrayed by Carrie, someone who I thought was solid.
31:11And now I see that she's picking sides within the collective.
31:14But at the end of the day, I'm gonna do what a bell does and that show up for another
31:19bell.
31:19I would like to welcome everybody to the Creator Collective.
31:26So, as you guys know, I'm Carrie Paul.
31:30Today, we are going to do a little friendly competition.
31:36So, we're gonna get started.
31:37First, we're gonna let everybody give their elevator pitch.
31:40So, that's what this is about.
31:41You're in the hot seat.
31:42For the first challenge, the ladies will have to get up on their feet, sell themselves to us and the
31:47brand.
31:47And that is key to being a brand ambassador.
31:50My name is Chase Fork, and I want to help take BGV to the top floor.
31:54Hi, everyone. My name is Amber Rae.
31:56I'm a dance fitness instructor here in Mississippi.
31:59I'm a makeup artist, and I'm a Briscount to Survivor.
32:02You might have to go work, get the cues ready, get yourself ready.
32:05Six months ago, I started taking black girl vitamins. I found myself.
32:09Listening to the ladies share their stories, it gave us an opportunity to see them for who they are.
32:15And it was just a really great moment.
32:16So, now we're gonna break up in our groups.
32:19The second challenge is going to be to figure out what phrase these letters stand for.
32:25And once it goes up on the screen, the team that rings their bell first, that has the answer, can
32:31give their answer.
32:32The girls are gonna compete in teams, and we'll have to decode a series of clues.
32:38It's a fun way to see who really gets it, and who might be faking the phone.
32:44Whenever you get it, ring the bell.
32:45Ring the bell.
32:46Ring the bell.
32:48Oh.
32:49You guys look back at one place today.
32:51That's right.
32:53All right, we got the next one up.
32:57We got that. We ready.
32:59You want to come up here?
33:01What is it?
33:02Somebody, oh.
33:03It will break.
33:04That's right.
33:06Woo!
33:08This guy's gonna have to do with pushing the products.
33:11I don't know.
33:11It'll be over in a minute.
33:13Girl, I'm so lost.
33:15All right.
33:15I am very confused regarding Kara's approach to find a brand ambassador.
33:21I don't know what this is.
33:24Huh?
33:25So now what we're gonna do is a dance challenge, but we're gonna do it to a very, very, very
33:31old school song.
33:32The third challenge.
33:34We've gotta see who can sing and dance, and who can perform for the ground.
33:44Twinkle, twinkle, little star, now I wonder what you are.
33:50Yeah.
33:59I love the idea of these activities.
34:03Kara tends to think outside of the box, and these games are brilliant.
34:07We singing, we chirping, and we doing a lot of unnecessary things, but I am enjoying it.
34:12It's very entertaining.
34:15I'm going to ask Shanice, Krista, Amber, and Kasey to step forward.
34:24And you four have been chosen to go on to the next round to compete for an ambassadorship
34:29with Black Girl Fighters.
34:30And thank you guys for coming out and participating with us.
34:37When I say these creators, they brought it, they did everything to it.
34:43I feel amazing about this event.
34:46It was literally golden.
34:47I love everything about this event.
34:50Carrie put a lot of thought into this.
34:52And it just shows women supporting women and working together.
34:55Well, what did y'all think, ladies?
34:58So everything went really, really good.
35:01I'm coming.
35:02Yes.
35:03Oh my gosh, Marie.
35:04I was like, man, this a bunch of fluff.
35:06The whole thing about Marie calling my event fluff, the only thing fluffy is her fake boo.
35:19Well, what did y'all think, ladies?
35:21Because I was like, man, this a bunch of fluff.
35:23Like, I didn't understand.
35:25Marie, you're calling my job fluff.
35:28Like, I didn't understand that.
35:30Yeah, I was trying to put up words on the screen.
35:32Like, how did I do it?
35:34The event was an absolute success.
35:37You could tell by the looks on everybody's faces.
35:40I put time, intention, effort, and haters gonna hate.
35:46But at the end of the day, we gonna celebrate.
35:49Now, what I am gonna say is, Riri, because I thought we was good.
35:55When Carrie was telling me about, um, you guys had an issue with me co-hosting with her.
36:01And I was like, why do they have an issue?
36:04Wait, it was mainly Marie.
36:06You did say Tisha had a little...
36:08Tisha had what?
36:09Well, I said you had a little hook.
36:10Well, let's one thing at a time.
36:12What's the look?
36:15What look?
36:16It's very obvious that some of these bells walked in with they mouth stuck out and the daggers out.
36:23And then Latisha got the nerve to ask me what look.
36:26Girl, the same one you been giving me all night.
36:29The stank face.
36:30You told Latrice that I had a problem with her, and that wasn't what that was.
36:35But I did feel like you were bringing the...
36:39No, I wasn't trying to invite anybody.
36:42But what you brought me through at lunch was moving forward to high school hood.
36:45I actually...
36:45That was some old high school mess.
36:46You know what I wanted to know?
36:48Marie was coming from more of a loyalty standpoint.
36:51Yeah.
36:51I made it clear to Carrie, I don't care if you host with the Flintstones.
36:55I don't care.
36:56For me, I was like, it's collaboration over competition.
37:00Congratulations to what you guys are doing.
37:02I feel like, Marie, you have said it.
37:05Like, here is a liar.
37:06You know, here is a backpedaler.
37:09Flip-flopping and lying can be two different things.
37:10Okay, just like this event, right?
37:11Hold on.
37:12Let me tell you what a lie would have been.
37:13See how you're acting right now?
37:13Uh-uh.
37:14See how you're acting?
37:14See, now you're taking me through this.
37:16Marie, because you're still taking me through the same thing over and over.
37:20We have already seen because you're still trying to put that little undertow of you be flip-flopping,
37:25you be lying.
37:26You do.
37:26I have never told anything that was false.
37:29Here's the thing.
37:31I've been nice, composed, professional all night.
37:35Now I got these bells sitting up here trying to label me as a flip-flopper and a liar.
37:42Which, baby, come with me with some vocabulary that I can understand.
37:46Because what y'all are saying makes no sense.
37:50Now, this is a whole situation that's happening.
37:53If we're gonna move as a collective, let's move as a collective.
37:56And these outside conversations, that's what's dividing a collective.
38:00Why y'all mad at me?
38:02All Carrie does is flip-flop all over the place.
38:06I don't necessarily think that Carrie lies.
38:09Maybe she just miscommunicates the message.
38:11My biggest issue with Carrie is not owning everything.
38:16When stories change from one minute to the next, it leaves the group feeling uneasy and confused.
38:23I agree with the ladies.
38:24Carrie say one thing and then say another.
38:26Just flip-flopping all over the collective.
38:30I do not want the collective to be hurt.
38:32And from day one, I have never come with any malice in this group.
38:36And, Marie, you know I haven't.
38:37Marie, I might call you out for a little play-play.
38:40But I have not done anything.
38:41And I shouldn't have to say it.
38:43Marie said she's not happy.
38:43I don't know good and well.
38:45Y'all know good and well.
38:46I'm here to bring the collective together.
38:48Let's get great to be.
38:50You did great.
38:51I really don't trust you.
38:52This was good.
38:53Yes, this was amazing.
38:54You did good.
38:55Thank you for inviting me to your co-host.
38:57Thank y'all for coming.
38:58Despite the little moment of hate and a little shade
39:03some ladies tried to sprinkle over my event,
39:05it never rains on a Carrie Paul parade.
39:08And at this point, I'm sick of a Make It Make Sense Marie
39:13misunderstanding me.
39:14I'm not even going to say that I got to keep my eye on Marie
39:16because it's evident to anybody who watches her and her behavior.
39:20It's deplorable.
39:21This is what it's all about, talking it out.
39:24That's what I'm talking about.
39:25And on that note, ladies, thank you for coming
39:28and have a nice night.
39:30This season on Belle Collective.
39:32I'm back outside, y'all.
39:36I'm focusing on me.
39:40Now that's a dress.
39:42Selena has a number of things that have not been done
39:46for this wedding.
39:48She doesn't have a venue, a caterer.
39:49I don't know if it's going to be all right or not.
39:52Terry?
39:52My lady.
39:53You got to start respecting me.
39:55Oh, hell no.
39:57I don't want a baby.
39:57Then .
39:58No, you ain't got that make a baby.
40:00Should I be expecting divorce papers?
40:03Listen, we can't keep sucking the drain.
40:05Have some decor.
40:06I'm a classy bitch.
40:08If we keep going back and forth,
40:10it's going to destroy the collective even more.
40:13Maybe even, like, kill it.
40:15Where's the liquor?
