Love & Hip Hop Atlanta, The Reunion Recap Part 2

Y'all already know what time it is! Even Mother Nature was sad about the end of this series. It was rainy and gloomy all day.

In case you missed part 1, peep the recap here. 
8:02pm Mona Scott-Young brings us back and we're treated to a sit down with Mimi, Stevie and Joseline. Oh joy! Mimi's clothes scream "I caught alladis on sale." I'm not judging. Mona calls their situation a love triangle. She starts off asking Stevie whether he and Joseline are officially a couple. Stevie says they're not together and Joseline admits she uses him for his money and his sex. Stevie just doesn't have that dickmatizer swag about him, but girl ok. My answer: Joseline is Stevie's almost girlfriend. Men love having almost girlfriends and convincing them almost DOES count.

Mona questions Stevie about his choice to wear that "I am God" shirt. He says he chose it because it's true. Mimi says she went to therapy because she wanted to get an understanding for the sake of their daughter. She's lying. She wanted to work it out. She's lying. She wants Stevie to come around. She's too defensive about the things people say about her for that not to be true. At every turn she's addressing her haters and people who judged her. Hold up. Something just occurred to me. Anybody wanna do math with me? Mimi keeps saying they were off & on for 15 years, no? Why does she have a  2 year old child from him?? So does that mean she was dealing with 13 yrs of BS BEFORE she thought it was ok to have a baby with him? Y'all know she thought that baby would change him right? Ya know that's why she's REALLY disappointed, dontcha? Chicks use that logic everyday, B. Everyday.

Stevie explains his bus comment saying neither Mimi nor Joseline were with him when he was struggling. FOH! Mimi says they were "in the trenches together" and she was there when he didn't have anything. Girl, the most silent of applause for you. Joseline admits she only wants him for his money. Stevie J shows us all how we can't trust a guy who justifies things starting with, "At the end of the day..."

Mimi admits her lack of a relationship with her mother made her hold on to relationships with others. Something we all knew. Chick has abandonment issues #likeamug. We're treated to unseen footage of a sit-down with Joseline, her mom and her stepdad. OMG why is her stepdad's hoop earring sooo huge? Why does he look what would happen if Mr. Clean let himself go? 

Oh Mimi is getting soooo buck on this here stage. Oh shit she's clapping. Everyone who knows black people know that means she's serious. Be scared. 

Stevie answers to his threats of sending Joseline back to the skreh cluh. He says that was early on and the threats have subsided saying, "All I wanna do is see her win." Joseline says she listens to Stevie when she wants to & it's only when it concerns her career. 

::Commercial Break::

8:18pm Oh now Scrappy, Erica and Buckeey are on stage. Another love triangle. Scrappy is sitting on the couch with Erica while Buckeey sits by herself. Must be a slap in the face for the former Flavor of Love contestant. Scrappy called Erica his "babymama" the entire season tho so they're proly even. That's relevant. Scrappy explains he and Erica have been through a lot of "stuff" together. Can I just say Buckeey looks like a fool sitting on stage? Like, her wig doesn't QUITE curl right. Her name should be "CURL AINT QUITE RIGHT BUCKEEY. Say that in a *Cedric the Entertainer voice.* Scrappy admits he's not a good judge of character when it comes to choosing love. Red flag. Buckeey gets buck and Erica tells Scrappy to check her as Buckeey yells "F*ck your bun b*tch." I can tell by the way she said it, she meant it to hurt. They scream and Buckeey's wig doesn't move. It ain't quite right I keep telling y'all. She knows how important hair is to a black woman so to insult a black woman's hair is a sign of intentional disrespect. She went for the lowblow. Playin dirty. 

::Commercial Break::

8:28pm Does anyone else feel the impulse to consume large amounts of alcohol? Or read a book? Momma Dee. Is she gonna spell? She thinks her son is a "famous rapstar." She can't spell BITCH right, but she thinks we believe her when she says her son is "famous." Naw girl. Momma says she's not on Erica's team because. She crowns Scrappy and calls him the "Prince of the South." She's so clearly delusional. I guess hit songs aren't a requirement to be a Prince of the South. Scrappy says he feels like a lil boy in school and his moms came to bring him his lunch. That crown came from Party City. She shoulda left it where she brought it from. Momma Dee says she likes Buckeey because she's A-FESH-A-NET (affectionate for the reading, nigras). 


Scrappy says he loves Erica. It suddenly becomes clear to me Buckeey  stole earrings from Shenene's wardrobe. It's only a matter of time before Shenene shows up in her fanny pack to get her jewelry back. Oh Buckeey is wearing leopard. How did I miss that? Smuts love leopard, y'all. Scrappy gives a speech about Erica always being there for him. Momma Dee has obviously forgotten about all of those moments as she dwells on the times she wasn't there. Shay reminds Scrappy that he still has stuff in her name. I knew this moment was coming. Scrappy gets down on one knee and proposes to Erica professing that he wants to "be a man" and have his family back. His proposal? "Is you gone marry a n*gga?" Gotta love a commitment amongst two ratchets. Bless them and their union. 

::Commercial Break::

8:41pm Kirk & Rasheeda along with Benzino and Karlie get their time to shine. Oh, now they're gonna spotlight what it's like to balance a career with love. These people keep calling their thingys a career. I don't get it. Why are they so confused? What career? Now I remember how much of a SUCKAMC Benzino was. Dang I expected dude to know better. Karlie says she went back to Benzino's house after she rejected his proposal and there was a naked chick there. No surprise there. Benzino explains, "You weren't supposed to be in my house that day." Well he set her straight. Karlie made a t-shirt. It's ugly. Karlie says she still has feelings for old man Zino. Zino says it's over between them. Kirk explains he and Rasheeda kept their marriage a secret because they needed to keep up her sex appeal. She's sitting there in a fake gold & rhinestone necklace that says "Bad" and I'm struggling to see the appeal. This is the first time she hasn't looked her normal pretty self. I'm disappointed in Rasheeda, right now. 

::Commercial Break::

8:51pm The entire cast is on stage. Still, Mona's wig is distracting me. Stevie responds to the haters saying they hated on God. Scrappy agrees. I hate when ratchets do this. Don't compare yourself to God. You make a rat face, sir. They do a hilarious recap of all the times Stevie made his rat face. I shed a thug tear of laughter. 

Momma Dee is asked about the kind of grandmother she must be to be dancing on a pole. She says, "Check game for me to be almost 50 years old and make money without taking off my clothes..." then my ears started hurting. Stevie admits he didn't have a car. Call me crazy, but Mona responds with "Oh you got a check now so you got a car" and I think thats shady.

::Commercial Break::
8:58pm Erica is beaming. She's happy that the man she stood by finally made an honest woman out of her. After he told everyone about the tiem he got all of his teeth knocked out and had to go thru several dental visits to get fake ones. Momma Dee embraces Erica saying, "Welcome to the palace." 
Will you be watching season 2?

Love & Hip Hop Reunion: The Recap, Part 1

Funkmaster Flex did the intro. We already know what kinda show its about to be. 

Executive producer Mona Scott-Young is the moderator. Why do I get the feeling she's gonna allow so much ratchet shit to happen this e'nin? Why do I get the feeling she's gonna try to protect her image while allowing these "ladies" to look like ratchet fools? Lets hope I'm right. 

Its showtime!! 
8:03pm Joseline stands up and tells her fans (?) they can have all of *this* cuz she's the baddest bitch. Producer Mona Scott starts off by addressing the negative feedback and she uses Mimi to address that rumor. Mimi says the show is real and there was no script involved. 

It appears we're going to be hearing questions from LAHHATL "fans" from social networks. I can deal with that I suppose. 

8:05pm Amanda L from Facebook wants to know how old Karlie is. She answers, "I'm beautiful, I'm young ,I'm talented and I never tell my age." She's a lie, a lie and a GD lie. Her answer means she's too old to be still tryna break into the industry and smang rappers like Roscoe Dash. K. Michelle brings up Karlie's Wikipedia page, which says she was born in 1985. Aint NO WAY Karlie was born in 1985! K. Michelle says ol girl marched with Martin Luther King. Oh the messy just showed up! 

8:06pm Missy G from Facebook wants the ladies to tell about their plastic surgery. K. Michelle admit she's had her teeth and breast done and says she got her donk from her mama and Jiffy cornbread. Aint nothin wrong with that! Karlie says she's had her teeth and breast done but her butt in 100% real. She says her butt is real because if she was gonna get a fake butt she would have gone bigger. Thats soem fuct up logic. Son, she's wearing a hideous dress!! Like hideous!! Joseline says she's had her teeth and her breast done and her hair and eyelashes are fake as well. She still maintains she's a "real" woman tho. Ok girl. 

8:08pm Mona asks Joseline "Are you or were you ever a man?" Joseline asks Mona to attest to the fact that Joseline peed on the stick and she is indeed a woman. Joseline says every bitch she's ever met wishes they had her body. I'm cool on her body, doe. 

8:09pm Mona asks the cast to own up to whether they ever doubted whether Joseline is a real woman. Erica cops to it, but Joseline claps back saying she used to dance for Scrappy so Scrappy knows. ahahahahahaha!!! Hell naw! Not many comebacks better than "ask ya man he knows." Apparently Joseline used a pseudo-name Shenellica Bettencourt and she's been to jail 20 times. Who knew? Who is surprised?

::Commercial Break::

8:15pm We come back to questions about Karlie Redd. Remember how messy she was? I do. She was super messy and I was sorta hoping she got her ass handed to her.  Karlie rubbed people the wrong way and she DID always keep her nose in someone els'e business. Karlie won't tell us her daughter's age. That means her daughter is proly 25. K. Michelle says Karlie is ancient. Karlie calls her bi-polar. Not that Karlie was tryna shack up with Benzino tho. 

Its time for audience questions. 
8:18pm Funky Dineva addresses Karlie. Yessssss gawwwwdddd!!!!! I'm so here for Funky Dineva! I need y'all to know how much I love her! She asks Karlie about whether she was ever signed to Cash Money because the President, Mack Maine, denied that she was ever signed to the label. I don't care about her answer. I'm just so happy to see Funky Dineva! Work biattcchh!!! 

8:19pm Oh now its time to address K.Michelle's ass whooping. Rasheeda is asked about how she responded to the situation. Rasheeda is wearing shoes from last year and I'm gonna let that slide. I'm not judging. Just sayin the glitter shoe trend is dead and gone. Rasheeda says she's not sure she believes K. Michelle. 

K. Michelle says Rasheeda doesn't have to believe her story. I'm not here for Rasheeda's nameplate that says "Bad" but her hair is laid tho. Who styled her? Her entire outfit looks cheap. Thats not what y'all came to read about so I'm chillin. Rasheeda calls K. Michelle a "Bi-polar schizophrenic insecure ass bitch" who wants to have a husband like Kirk. Uh oh Rasheeda done jumped up outta her seat. I don't like this side of Rasheeda. She is tacky. Why is she so angry? I thought she was a classy woman who stayed above the fray. She's goin to battle for people we didn't even know she was really friends with. Kirk got up ready to do what? Help his wife in a physical fight against another woman? Ok girl. 

::Commercial Break::
8:27pm Now we're gonna talk about the time Scrappy put them paws on Stevie. Scrappy and Stevie are on stage. Mona Scott-Young says they edited the fight to make it shorter in an effort to minimize the amount of violence shown on tv. Girl please, your lawyers told you to say that. Sit down. Scrappy explains "I put them paws on 'em." He goes on to explain how he just wanted Stevie to apologize to Erica and how it got out of hand because he called Joseline a bitch. Joseline and Erica get into a shouting match. Erica's face looks flawless tho. I love that lip color on her. She kept it simple with a few pops. I love it. 

8:32pm Momma Dee is welcomed on stage in her finest hood woman portraying a classy church lady blazer. Seriously, she looks like she's trying to look professional and its not working. I'll pass. She explains how she felt about the throne and some other shit "and in that order." Blah blah blah.  

Greedy M from Facebook asks about Scrappy's probation and whether his probation officer has called about the incident. Way to snitch Facebook folks! 

::Commercial Break::

8:37pm Joseline, Stevie, Mimi and Ariane are on stage together. Stevie is wearing hot pink pants and can't seem to decide whether he wants to keep his sunglasses on or off. Mona asks how Stevie felt about knowing he hurt Mimi's feelings. He says he never married Mimi because he doesn't consider himself the marrying type. Mimi says she never considered Stevie for her husband. I don't believe her. You don't give up your poon to a man for 12 years without your heart getting into it. You don't give your poon to a man for 12 months without wondering where its gonna go. Stevie leaves Joseline on the couch by herself and joins Mimi and Ariane. Mimi is wearing a church lady banquet dress tho. Its not flattering. I don't like that shiny material. its glistening. Stevie calls Ariane a hater. Ariane claps back and says she was Mimi's support system. Ariane is a classy chick. my fav by far. I don't think she got a lot of screentime because she kept it classy. 

Mimi tells she's been self sufficient all of her life. She says she doesn't need Stevie's money. 

Mona asks Joseline if she has any advice for Mimi about how to deal with Stevie. Mimi says Joseline can't tell her anything about the man she's known for 15 years. How many of y'all believe Joseline has a better handle on Stevie than Mimi does after 15 years? \o<--raised hand. 

::Commercial Break::

8:51pm Now its time to discuss Joseline's fake abortion. I had forgotten all about their "strictly business" lie. Joseline reveals Stevie plays games with all of his babymamas so him denying her baby wasn't a new thing. Mimi emphasizes how she's know Stevie for 15 years. It just makes her look more stupid. After 15 years you still don't have any pull with your man? Mona asked whether Stevie would have handled the situation differently and he says he wouldn't have been as much of a jerk. Ok child. Stevie admits he believed that was his baby. Mona asks why Stevie was walkin around with the pregnancy test in his. 

8:53pm Genie H from twitter asked Stevie whether he forced Joseline to get the abortion. Stevie said he didn't force her. Joseline said she got rid of it because he has 5 kids and because her career is taking off. I guess. I still haven't heard her song on the radio tho so I don't know about her career "taking off." She says she would marry Stevie if he asked because he's about to make a lot of money. 

::Commercial Break::
8:58pm Mona asks Mimi whether she thinks its really over. She says Stevie is the father of her child so she can't say its truly lover. Stevie says he'll never really let Mimi go. Joseline says an entire string of curse words and follows it with "I am a woman of God." A woman of WHAT God? Stevie is asked whether he and Joseline are a couple and calls it a wrap for part 1. That was such a weak move. Supa weak. 

Oh look, Single Ladies. ::Changes Channel::

Love & Hip Hop Atlanta: Season FINALE Recap

As I sit here 20 minutes before the finale starts, I realize I'm gonna be sad now that the show is over. My Monday nights will not be the same. What else is there to watch? The Braxstons? I'll pass, for now. 

In case you missed the previous recaps, check em out below...

Episode 2 

Episode 3 

Episode 4 

Episode 5 

Episode 6

Episode 7
Episode 8
Episode 9

SHOWTIME!!!! 

8:01pm Scrappy stops by Erica's new crib. She got a new house and a new weave!! Oh yay! Erica says she thinks its best that the two of them remain friends and Scrappy agrees. He says he's willing to let it work if it works out that way. Translation: Buckeey's box sucks and he's ready to go back with the chick he calls "Baby mama." 

8:03pm Karlie randomly meets with Roscoe Dash in a purple room. Why did this song just pop into my head? Why is she tryna get with this kid who is playing rapper? What is he? Like TWELVE? Anyway, Karlie is a hoe and she doesn't have standards. Its clear she's tryna bang her way to the top, but if Roscoe Dash is your top you got bigger problems.  

8:05pm Mimi and Joseline are meeting with the therapist. Uh oh Stevie J just walked in. Stevie is wearing a shirt that says "I am God" and I just CAN'T deal. Mimi complains that Joseline and Stevie hang out at the skreh cluh too much and Joseline invited Mimi to join them. Oh, I love Joseline! Joseline dropped a bomb that she once watched Stevie have sex with her best friend in her bed. I'm not surprised. Also, Joseline tells Mimi she's been allowing Stevie to treat her the way he's been treating her because she stuck around for 15 years. Thats real life tho. Stevie says its his bus, implying that he's a meal ticket for both of 'em. He fuct that metaphor allllll the way up! He's gonna mess around and lose BOTH of his chicks! Elle-oh-Elle!  
::Commercial Break::

8:14pm Mimi & Ariane meet up. "Aren't you sick of this shit tho?" asks the friend with all the sense. Thank you Ariane for saying what all of us have been thinkin.  Mimi is wearing those UGLASS wedge sneakers. Thats why she can't keep her man. It appears Mimi sees things clearly. This is called foreshadowing ladies & gentlemen. Mimi says she has a cleaning company. You go girl. Mimi has a new attitude and I think she's about to really pack up and leave Stevie. 

8:17pm Shay and Scrappy meet up in the studio. Damnit she's wearing that horrible weave still. Scrappy reveals he's thinkin about goin back to Erica. Apparently Buckeey doesn't know the game. He wanted to smash her guilt free so he broke it off with Erica. DUH! Why is she surprised? She was on FLAVOR OF LOVE she should know better! They need to stop calling each other friends. Its clear they were more than that. Uh-oh she's crying. Her wig is still dry tho. If they were JUST friends she wouldn't be crying cuz he wants to get back with his ex. Just sayin...

8:20pm Stevie J stops by Benzino's whatever you wanna call it. So far, Zino's neck is still missing. Not sure if it plans to show up for the big moment at the end. Gotta stay tuned. Remember that Dinosaur show in today's earlier post? Those are Old Man Zino's kinfolks and he is a direct descendant of the baby dino. Zino confides in Stevie about the wild ways of the hoe he's planning to marry. Oh Zino! You've been in the game too long and your head is too big for you to NOT know the game. He's been a sucker since day UNO! I'm disappointed. 

::Commercial Break::

8:26pm Joseline and Steebie meet up at a restaurant. Joseline says she just wants peen and the money when she wants it. I can't be mad at her for turning the tables in her favor. But alllllll that black hair spray she has on her hair is UNcalledfor. I can't allow this to happen. Joseline needs to get her hair in order or I will forever shade her for it. Can't be calling yourself a "princess" with hair like a pauper. 

8:29pm KC 2.0 and Erica are furniture shopping. Erica just got a new crib and doesn't want to be house poor. KC 2.0 is thicka den a snicka. No rainbow. KC 2.0 done changed her hair again. Erica breaks the news that she is down with the swirl and she's been dating a (white) man. I don't know how I feel about that story since I heard Scrappy proposed to her at their reunion soooo ok. KC 2.0 shares the verbal altercation between her and Rasheeda and Erica is surprised by how it went down. I just realized we're 30 minutes in and we haven't seen Rasheeda. 

::Commercial Break::

8:37pm Stevie J called Joseline to the studio to meet his new artist. Her name is Shay Mack. Why is he doin the birdman handrub tho? Oh, he's tryna make Joseline jealous. Wassup with her teef doe? I bet if people asked her "What that mouf do?" She proly says "It shreds all your important documents baby." Ok that was mean. My teeth aren't perfect so I can't talk. He shoulda fixed her up before her debut. Joseline tells ol girl she can get a hit if she sucks his d*ck. Sounds true to me.

8:40pm KC 2.0 meets up with Rasheeda at a bar. 2.0 done changed her hair again. Rasheeda's face is beat to perfection honey! Yesss gawd!!! KC 2.0 says she's not going to accept how her ex has addressed the domestic violence issue. She's been going on for the entire season. I bet she stops strangers and finds a way to bring it up. I bet she finds a way to bring it up with all of her friends. Her friends are proly like, "Gworl whatchu doin fa yo birthday?" & KC 2.0 proly says, "Don't worry about my birthday! That man beat my ass!" *blank stare*

8:44pm Benzino and Karlie meet at the Sage Woodfire Tavern. This duck is about to propose! He's wearing a suit and tie giving speeches #andshit. Karlie is a hoe Benzino!!! Why is he giving her a ring? Karlie sees the ring and asks if he's ready. Who asks that?! Only a hoe would see an engagement ring and question whether he loves her. Karlie says she put Benzino on! ahahahahaahah!! She's delirious! What is she smoking? Whatever it is, its one hell of a drug! Benzino breaks off their "thing," but not before he loses all of his dignity and his neck is STILL missing.  

8:47pm Stevie J pops up to Mimi's job. Told y'all you can't trust men who "pop up" to your job. She's supervising while someone else is cleaning her client's house. It looks like the person who lives there doesn't know anything about being humble.  Mimi tells Stevie she shares responsibility for where they are because she's allowed it to happen. She tells Stevie she's not interested in continuing their relationship. I just realized Mimi has a skrong chin. I'm not judging. Just observing. Anyway, this can't be professional. If I were Mimi's client and I saw this on my security cameras (cuz w/a house like that you better have em) I would be furious! Why are your people coming in to my house? Stevie doesn't believe Mimi. I don't believe Mimi. Mimi doesn't believe Mimi. She's puttin on for the cameras so she can have something to go back and tell Ariane. Here he goes grabbing his peen again. Thats his source of power. 

::Commercial Break::
Looks like its time for the wrap up!

8:54pm Rasheeda and Kirk are renewing their vows. She looks beautiful. Looks like they're in the boondocks so I'm kinda waiting for a deer to just run up and join the party tho. Rasheeda still wants to be mainstream. Just when I thought she had her head on straight she goes and proves me wrong. 

Karlie is in the studio with Roscoe Dash. She's all over him just like the smut she is. That poor kid. I hope he straps up. 

KC 2.0 is at a photoshoot professing she's "an open book but not a clean slate." I hope if they get a second season she finds another topic to discuss and a hairstyle she can wear for more than 2 minutes. 

Erica is putting the finishing touches on her new home. Its still pretty empty, but kudos to her for getting her own. 
Scrappy and his daughter are at Momma Dee's crib tasting food. Scrap ends his final appearance on season 1 by saying, "With yo face ass." Not sure what that meant. 

Joseline was a strippa a few months ago. Now, she's going around calling herself "The Puerto Rican Princess" and she's on her way to the top. She's here to stay she says. Good luck with that gworl. 

Steebie J's new "artist" is showing off her tats. He just smelled her arm. What kinda creepy sh*t is that?! Good gracious he's already got a new one to simp out with. 

Mimi and the daughter Stevie gave her are at the aquarium. Stevie has three daughters? Learn somethin new everyday. Not that I care. 

The season ends with Stevie's "artist" analyzing his back tats. We all know how thats gonna end. 

Well there ya have it folks! The season is over. Part 1 of the reunion airs on Monday August 27 & I'll be watching! 

Oh, look Single Ladies *changes channel*

Love & Hip Hop Atlanta: Episode 9 Recap

Y'all already know what time it issssss!!!!!! I know many of you watched the sneak peek. I hope you find comfort knowing I make it a point not to watch them. 

8:02pm-We're picking up where we left off. Joseline just found out Mimi is not just the baby mama. She whopped his ass tho. Mimi is still in the therapist's office lookin dumb once again. Mimi admits she feels like an asshole for believing Stevie's lies. Now she wants to talk to Mimi. For what tho? Stevie obviously wants to be with Joseline so maybe Mimi needs to seek out Joseline and learn some bedroom moves. Cuz right now, the only move Mimi knows is how to look stupid. Joseline reveals she never really felt the love of her mother. So many issues. 

8:05pm Erica meets up with Scrappy at the park. Erica decided not to wear any real shorts. She tells Scrap she found out about him showing up to his mixtape release party with Buckeey. Scrap says the two are just friends and they have never slept together. Pause. I read a story about the two getting engaged. You mean to tell me she knows all of this and she still agrees to marry him? Oooh. Erica is crying a public ugly cry. Scrap appears to be moved. Its way too many people crying way too early on. 

8:08pm Joseline shows up at Benzino's house looking for Stevie. Who gets to popup to a man's best friend's house? The main chick. She wants answers. Ohhh myyy gawwwwddd who cut Benzino's hair? She's taking advice from Benzino. She says she and Stevie don't use condoms after we all saw her go thru having a fake abortion. No way Jose! Joseline is outchea losing. Benzino tells Joseline she's not going anywhere. Benzino is right tho. Its clear neither woman is going anywhere. Joseline says they do "everything. Love. Sex. Every sex" whatever that means. But why does Benzino's furniture look like a Rent-A-Center showroom? I hope he makes his weekly payments. 

8:14pm. We're treated to an image of Scrappy gettin ga haircut. Scrap seeks advice from his mom. She's obviously not #TeamErica. Momma Dee is not pleased, "He done dipped back in the dip sack tryna give ha anodda chance?" She calls Erica a bitch but she struggles with spelling it. Bee. Eye. Cee. Tee. Ach. & in that order. No mama. Its the wrong damn order, K? She paused while spelling it and she still got it wrong. These people need to take their behinds back to school. She says, "Playas play all day everyday." Damn Scrappy's mom is tryna make him be a player and he's ready to settle down. 

8:17pm. Rasheeda meets up with Erica. They're confiding in each other about their man problems in a shop filled with bras. Oh, Rasheeda is looking for an outfit to wear for her man. Who does she bring along to help her pick? Another woman. And the common thread emerges. "Do what you wanna do & Imma do what I wanna do." Well then. Go head girls.

8:19pm Benzino & Karlie meet up. Her DSL's are shiny. She proclaims that her career means a lot to her but Benzino is her man. Old man Zino's neck is still missing tho. Pretty sure there is a reward for whoever finds it. Zino says Karlie is the woman he wants to spend the rest of his life with. These hoes be winning. Zino is too much of a vet not to recognize that Karlie is only using him to boost her career. But guess what? No one is checking for Karlie's career so she needs to do some restructuring. 

8:26pm. Joseline and Karlie are rockclimbing. But doesn't Karlie have arthritis and osteoporosis? Did her at-home nurse approve this? Apparently the two are bffs. Joseline tells the WRONG person, Karlie, about what went on in that three-way therapy session. Wait, its only been 3 weeks since Karlie and Benzino started dating? Joseline gives Karlie career advice. Karlie is just losing. 

8:29pm. Rasheeda and Kirk are having dinner at a "nice place." I don't know why it looks like they all keep ending up at the same spot. I know Atlanta has more than 3 places with fully finished interiors. Sheeda decides to keep Kirk as her manager. Finally! She says something that makes sense! All that language from Waka Flocka's mama was for naught? Rasheeda says they should renew their vows. Somethin small. Hood people don't know how to do something small. Next thing you know its gonna be out of control with a guest list of 200 of their closest friends.

8:32pm. Benzino & Stevie are in the strip club searching for clarity. Didn't he meet Joseline in a skreh cluh? Anyway, the two donkeys are having drinks and watchin chicks clap without using their hands. Stevie wants to have his cake and eat it too. He says he's in love with both Mimi & Joseline. This negro is tryna have a 3 way relationship? 3-way works with a Bellsouth landline phone account NOT a relationship. 

8:38pm. Benzino meets Mimi at the hood carwash. She's cleaning out her own car. Benzino is the voice of reason? But if he's such a good friend why does he call Stevie "Sleezo?" Zino says they should try to find common ground & Mimi needs to stop barking. He says the situation is not bad since its only one woman. Mimi is shaped like Spongebob. Don't debate me on this. 

8:40pm. Rasheeda and Erica linked up to support KC 2.0. KC is going to speak on her experience with domestic violence. Kudos to her. Sheeda reveals she's friends with the woman who married the man who allegedly physically abused KC 2.0. Sheeda doesn't like that KC 2.0 keeps bringing it up. I think she keeps bringing it up because people keep denying her the opportunity to have her voice heard. Instead of allowing her to tell her full story, people keep jumping to "Well maybe it didn't happen." KC 2.0's behavior is an example of what people do when they are hurting without having someone there to say "I'm sorry for what you went thru." I can't imagine what that must feel like. 

8:46pm KC 2.0 is giving back via Saving Our Daughters. Rasheeda is sitting the audience and I can tell she's juding. Wow! KC 2.0 is wearing a wedding dress. I can tell this is gonna get emotional. Nothing good ever comes of single chicks in wedding dresses. She cries thru her entire testimony. KC 2.0 says she has given her heart to the wrong man and says she felt healed from the situation. 
 

8:49pm Karlie & Benzino are at Benzino's house. Karlie says she's starting to recognize Zino's anger issue. Zino says he's frustrated that all Karlie talks about is her career. She wants to have an adult conversation with Zino without him "goin in rage & being anger." Conjugation is NOT the name of the game. Zino says he's angry because she makes him that way. Sounds exactly like what a man says right before he headbutts his woman. Zino needs to know he's dealing with a hoe. WHY is he so hell bent on being in denial about it? She told Benzino she was "going to work with some Jamaican" as if that would not draw suspicion. Everyone knows what happens to a woman's thighs around Jamaican men. Anyway, its obvious Karlie is NOT getting the career boost she thought she would get so she's looking for a way out. 

8:56pm. Rasheeda meets with K. Michelle. They're talking about her domestic violence experience. Rasheeda doesn't wanna hear it. She says the people on the other side are her REAL friends. Rasheeda says, "Maybe thats not something he did to you." I'm not gonna touch this. KC 2.0 says just wants an apology. She says she has text messages. KC 2.0 says Sheeda wasn't there. Thats true tho. "That man beat my ass and I had to deal with it." Wow what a loud public scene! I feel pity for K. Michelle tho. She says that man beat her ass. That man has since gone on to start a solid family with someone else and he's being portrayed as a wholesome husband. No one believes her. I can see why she's mad, but its time for her to focus on healing. 

Next week is the season finale. I'll be tuned in!

Episode 7

8:01pm Steebie, Mimi & their daughter are spending some family time at the park. Steebie says he had a breakthrough during their session with Dr. J. I heard Steebie has several kid and his sexuality has been in question for years. I believe it cuz he has a neck tat. Can't all the way trust nigs with neck tats. Mimi says their trust has been demolished. She needs to demolish them uGLASS purple sunglasses. Stevie says he wants Joseline to join their therapy session. 

8:04pm Karlie Redd gets some air time. She's meeting with Joseline to discuss their "music." She's just tryna stay relevant. Joseline OWNS this show. The 0 fucks she gives makes me LOVE her! Joseline tells Karlie about her move to stop working with Stevie. Karlie says she was right about Stevie & Joseline messing around. Karlie finds a way to work in the fact that she messes with Benzino. Man, lemme tell y'all I don't like this messy slore. Why must she tell any of her business. So they exchange stories and now they're friends. I'm not buying it. 

8:07pm Scrappy & Buckeey are in the studio. Scrappy has a new song. I'm not surprised. Shit sounds whack. Scrappy wants Rasheeda to work w/him on the track. Chile, ok. Buckeey leaves and they kiss on the mouth. I threw up a little. Rasheeda asks about whats going on between Buckeey and Scrap and he downplays it pretty much saying they're fuck buddies. Rasheeda holds Erica down. I respect her for that. She gives it to Scrap 100% real and I can respect that too. Rasheeda is one of my favs. I KNOW she's gonna back and tell Erica. I can't even be mad at her for that. 

8:13pm. Karlie Redd is the center of a photoshoot. Not sure why doe. Benzino says he hooked her up with a feature on Hip Hop Weekly. Welp she smanged her way to that feature but who am I to judge? Karlie thinks its hard for a man to help her with her career. She's making it easier with that consistent coochie. She done went to Things Remembered and got them some matching chains a-la those "best friend" joints we all had in middle school. 

8:16pm The girls, sans Joseline and Erica,  are hangin out. My fav Ariane is back!!! Her hair is laiiidddd to! I'm so here for her! Rasheeda starts off explaining Kirk's absence. Keyshia Cole 2.0 assures Rasheeda in a cute girl-dont-ruin-our-night-out way. Did I mention how KC 2.0 has a dawnk? Rasheeda tells of her experience in the study with Buckeey & Scrap. None of the girls believe that "she's just a friend" bullshit Scrap is selling. Just as they're conversing Shay and Scrappy walk in. KC 2.0 was not having it. She "felt some kinda way." Girl, I hear ya! KC is planning to tell Erica about Rasheeda seeing Scrappy & Buckeey in the studio together and kissing. Its too many people involved. Oh, I didn't know Scrap and Rasheeda were performing. They performed. 

8:23pm Ariane & Mimi are takin a ride. Mimi tells her about going to counseling with Stevie. She says it was for her daughter's sake. I'm not buying it. She did it because she's not tryna let that bastard move on. What a surprise. *sarcasm* Stevie J got that good pipe. Mimi was raised by a single parent. She's fighting so her daughter can have what she didn't. Is that reason enough to put up with this bullshit? Ariane tells her the 3-way counseling session isn't gonna work. Mimi wants to go forward with it. a hard head makes a soft ass. Mimi is the one who will end up hurt. I'm not sure why she won't listen to Ariane.  



8:25pm KC 2.0 is meeting with Erica. Erica looks different. KC 2.0 tells Erica how Scrap showed up to his mixtape party w/a woman. Apparently these are his old habits. She says thats how Scrappy rolls. That speaks volumes about him and her too since she had a baby from him. I'm chillin doe. Man it hurts to hear her talk about how Scrappy has been in & out of his daughter's life. Thats fuct up. No respect for Scrappy. Real shit. I have no respect for him. Then again, Erica let him ejaculate in her soooooo...

8:29pm Mimi is about to spread her mother's ashes into a body of water. She brings Ariane and her brother along for the journey. I can tell Mimi is hurt by how her mother abandoned her. I'm trying not to judge her for waiting 9 years to spread her mother's ashes. Also, Mimi's brother looks like some kind of village healer. I'm not judging just sayin he's wearing a lot of printed fabric on his body. They're talkin to the ashes. This is sad and creepy and weird but I'm not judging. People grieve differently. I got a tattoo. They held on to ashes for 9 years. 

8:36pm. Benzino arrives on a motorcycle covered in aluminum foil. Its a wonder he doesn't have any on his teeth. He's looking at jewelry courtesy of some person he calls "Dave the Jeweler" whilst sitting in a cigar shop. Now, the jeweler pulls out an engagement ring and we're treated to a tight shot of Benzino's side profile. I coulda LIVVEEEED my life w/o seeing that. 

8:37pm Rasheeda and Kirk are meeting with Deb Antney (again). Kirk tells Deb, who reminds me of that auntie who gets drunk and shows out at the family reunion, about how hurt he was when he found out Rasheeda had a meeting without her. Deb is also Waka Flocka's mama. Deb cuts Kirk's balls off and tells him he needs to be accountable for Rasheeda not being a superstar. Deb tells Kirk Rasheeda is ready to leave the underground world, "She's dirty. She's stinking. She wants to come up for her. Got damn!" Lemme tell you something. What you ain't gone do is sit there lookin like trash and use those kinds of words to describe me. Her delivery is fuct up and so is her hair. I get what she was trying to say but her imagery and her hair is trash. Kirk sat there and let that woman bitch him up. I'm judging. He's too fuckin sensitive for me. If you don't stand up for yourself, how are you gonna stand up for me? 

8:45pm Kirk & Rasheeda are driving home. Kirk tells Rasheeda he didn't think the meeting went well. He says Rasheeda didn't come to his defense. Nah man, you're a grown ass man. You can't defend yourself against a menthol smokin black woman in a fuct up blonde wig? Kirk is a sucker. Thats the beginning and the end. Rasheeda walks all over him. I'll bet the farm he ain't dickmatizing her w/pipe. What I don't get is why she's going with Deb instead of her husband. Deb doesn't seem much bigger than Kirk but I don't know shit about shit. 

8:47pm. Benzino shows off his pool table in his house. Stevie J comes over to visit. Stevie wants to have his cake and eat it too. He has Mimi on one side and  Joseline on the other. Man, Benzino is about to propose to Karlie. These hoes be winning. Benzino offers Stevie advice and I just feel like its a case of the blind leading the blind. 

8:54pm Stevie and Mimi are in their second therapy session. Mimi says she's doing it to see Stevie fall apart. The two agree their communication is better. Stevie says he loves both Joseline and Mimi. Boyyyyy. Lemme tell you. Mimi is bold as shit in her confessional session but when she's in front of actual people its apparent she won't bust a grape. Joseline drops a bomb that she didn't know about Mimi and she only thought they were the babymama. This therapist is trash. Like, hot garbage. Stevie wipes the sweat off of Joseline's nose. Joseline's box is YANKIN! I don't care what y'all say. Stevie wants to be with Joseline. Ahahaha we just found out Mimi is the sidechick. Stevie forgot to tell her Mimi is staying in his house. Joseline goes rogue and lands a few punches right in Stevie's trapbox. Yep she put them paws on Stevie and Mimi didn't even jump in. Joseline is strong AF doe. Took an entire production crew to get her off of Stevie. He couldn't even scoop her up. Poe thang. Lowkey, Mimi is jealous of Josline cuz she has the attitude about Stevie Mimi could never have. I fucks with Joseline. 

Next week we see more ratchet behavior. I'll be tuned in. Oh, look Single Ladies is about to come on. *Changes channel*
