00:00What is the state of The Collective at this point?
00:09The state of The Collective.
00:11Well, it looks like we are divided.
00:14What the f*** you want to do?
00:17Are you guys going to fight in your good clothes?
00:19We are in shambles.
00:20I'm going to come up out this f***ing dress and I'm going to beat that hoe.
00:21Bitch, get you a car.
00:22I don't know if The Collective could even be repairable at this point.
00:23I don't know.
00:27I don't know.
00:38We are in shambles.
00:39What the f***?
00:40Wait, wait, wait.
00:41Listen up.
00:42What?
00:43No.
00:44You owe me.
00:45No.
00:46I'm in shambles.
00:47You owe me.
00:48No.
00:49I don't feel like we're a collective anymore.
00:50I was married, but I never saw you.
00:51You can't be here.
00:52You owe me.
00:53is on Selena for assault.
00:55It has gone too far and there's no coming back from that.
00:58Because when you disrespect our mom, you disrespect us.
01:01Girl, what's wrong with you?
01:02You're acting like an insecure b****.
01:04What the f*** am I insecure about?
01:06This is not a sisterhood.
01:08It seems as if we're all for ourselves.
01:10I'm going to beat the brakes off of her.
01:12I'm standing here, what's up?
01:14You're going back to that prenup you signed.
01:16You're on f*** with your mother-f***ing name.
01:18No cameras. No cameras.
01:20What's the state of The Collective at this point?
01:23The Collective is dead.
01:50At the end of last season, my husband was making it very clear
02:00that he wanted his family back together.
02:02So we packed up our Mississippi home and we headed back north.
02:07Look, I have to show you something.
02:09That was before I knew that my proposal had been approved
02:14for me to get a building on Ferris Street.
02:16So you know what I had to do?
02:18I had to let my husband know.
02:19I have to get back to Jackson, Mississippi and do what I have to do.
02:23I am downtown, in the space, on Ferris.
02:27She cleaned it out.
02:28Oh, let me see.
02:29Look at this.
02:30Oh man, that looks amazing.
02:31Yeah. What you doing?
02:33I just finished working out. I have some work to do.
02:36And then I'm going to, you know, relax a little bit.
02:40Oh, because you don't have your wife and your kids there, huh?
02:43It makes me terrified.
02:45Oh, do you?
02:46I was crying. I was crying calling your name before this.
02:49You were crying before or after you left the cigar bar?
02:52What?
02:53Oh, okay.
02:54You're breaking up.
02:55No, I'm not breaking up.
02:57I am dealing with my health issues, my kids, my husband's career.
03:02So life is life-ing, but I am loving it.
03:06Well, I will talk to you later.
03:07Love you.
03:08Bye.
03:09Come in, come in, come in.
03:22Oh, my goodness, girl.
03:25Look at you.
03:26Looking pretty and springy.
03:28You look so pretty.
03:30I miss you.
03:33This is nice.
03:35It's so roomy now.
03:37I wanted to make my office here.
03:39You know what?
03:40I was just talking to Jade.
03:42I was like, Jake, you know what?
03:43I need an office space.
03:44I need an office space, so.
03:46Maybe we can divide this.
03:48See there?
03:49It's enough room.
03:50And have us two spaces.
03:51I can envision it, girl.
03:52I'm really eager and excited to remodel this new space,
03:56so I would love to have a partnership or dual offices with my own girl.
04:02Have you talked to any of the girls?
04:03I may talk to Latisha every once in a while, just check her, say, hey, how are you?
04:08How are your family?
04:09Other than that, I haven't talked to Tambra.
04:11I talked to Marie.
04:13I haven't talked to Latisha.
04:14I haven't talked to Latrice.
04:16Oh.
04:17Have you?
04:18I said, have you talked to Latrice?
04:19I hadn't talked to Latrice, but with the incident that happened, you know,
04:25a couple of months ago, and Jade came to support me.
04:27I knew that lady was going to be there,
04:30but I was really shocked when Ian walks in Tambra and Ian walks in Latrice.
04:35I really was shocked with Latrice because I know, you know, she showed me who she was.
04:39They're friends.
04:40Yeah, they're friends.
04:41But I was really shocked of why, you know, Tambra was there.
04:43She came up to Jade and was like, I was subpoenaed.
04:46And I was like, it's just a peace bond here.
04:47Why would you be subpoenaed for that?
04:49How do you testify on a peace bond?
04:51I don't believe that Tambra was subpoenaed.
04:53I mean, she lied about everything else.
04:55Come on, sis.
04:56I mean, just tell the truth.
04:57You don't like Gucci and you're here to testify against me.
05:00Anyway, I want to get everybody together.
05:02Oh, OK. That'll be good.
05:04They were trying to initiate us into this damn sisterhood.
05:06Now the sisterhood is just you and me.
05:08OK, how about that?
05:09That's right.
05:10So, we're all successful African-American women.
05:13Come on.
05:15Now, she know the last time we were together, things went haywire.
05:19But, girl, I commend you.
05:21If you can get us together on the same page, at the same table, in the same room,
05:25I'm going to try.
05:26I'm going to try to, you know, have a conversation with all the girls
05:29and try to resolve everything.
05:31I'm about to send a text message because we need some correction, honey.
05:35Yeah.
05:36The collective needs to be corrected.
05:37So, I'm going to do some collective correction.
05:39I am very hopeful and optimistic that this correction is going to work out this time.
05:45Not like Latisha and her sistervention.
05:48You don't sit on everything.
05:52What I see right now is insecurity, baby.
05:54No, that's a kid on you because nobody wanted you when you were born.
05:58If this collective correction just happens to go all the way left,
06:02I'm going to lead them over to the left because I'm taking myself to the right side.
06:07And I'm out.
06:08Hey, ladies.
06:09I would love to see everyone.
06:12Don't leave Tamra out.
06:14I don't have an issue with Tamra.
06:16Look, I don't have an issue with her.
06:19She's all mine, all mine.
06:23She's all mine, all mine.
06:25She's all mine, all mine.
06:27I'm telling daddy's here.
06:29Daddy's here.
06:30Daddy's here.
06:31Telling daddy's here.
06:32Daddy's here.
06:33Daddy's here.
06:37This is not going to work.
06:44This person cannot be reached at the moment.
06:46Typical teacher.
06:48Come on.
07:06Hi.
07:07Hey.
07:08Hey.
07:09How are you?
07:10Fine.
07:11How are you?
07:12I was calling you.
07:13My phone is dead.
07:14Oh.
07:15Hey.
07:16Hey.
07:17How are you?
07:18Hi.
07:19I mean, I'm shocked.
07:20I want to sell this home.
07:21This was our very first home.
07:23We turned it into a rental property.
07:25We've had about two or three families in this home.
07:27And it's time for a new.
07:29What happened to the fence?
07:31Where the fence man is?
07:33It's took care of.
07:35Is that light not, that light is not big?
07:38No, I told you.
07:39I got electricity coming out.
07:40I got to change the balance on it.
07:43So did you come to help or did you come to boss?
07:45No, I literally came to help.
07:47Last time you saw Glenn and I, we were going to do a vow renewal.
07:51But that's on hold right now.
07:53There are things that we both have to work on.
07:55And at this point, so we can compromise and really see each other from each other's point of view, we're good.
08:03Not great.
08:04Seriously, we just have to get this stuff done.
08:07Like, I'm not trying to nag.
08:09I promise you, I'm not trying to do that.
08:11But I've been here like, what, six or seven months?
08:13And you know we have to get this property back together.
08:15All right, calm down.
08:16I'm not one of your employees.
08:18I'm Glenn.
08:19Oh, here we go with it.
08:20Glenn is still having a hard time seeing the elevated me.
08:23I mean, it's frustrating recircling the drain.
08:26Come on, let's sit down.
08:27Let's have a conversation.
08:28Okay.
08:29If it's a hard time, then so be it.
08:31But this time, be sure to get a pen and some paper because I need you to take notes.
08:36As far as me getting this house ready, my word is my bond, and you know this.
08:41Like, we can't keep going back and forth.
08:44I'm not doing that.
08:46I don't have the energy to do that.
08:47I got too many things going on just as well as you do.
08:50But we do have to prioritize each other.
08:54I can't learn the elevated Tisha if she's not available.
08:58Like, come on.
08:59I'm trying.
09:01Letitia's schedule is not allowing her to acknowledge the things that I am changing.
09:07And that's a problem for me.
09:09I want to switch gears here.
09:11So, you know, all the bells are in, like, a group thread.
09:13But we have been in a group.
09:15We haven't said anything since, like, seven months or so.
09:19So, Akisha sends a message.
09:21She said, hi, ladies.
09:23I would like to schedule a sit-down called the collective corrector.
09:29A collective corrector where we can all get together and get this thing back.
09:35I really don't know how this collective correction thing is going to go.
09:40But I do want to fix things amongst the girls.
09:43And I really, really do want to talk to Latrice because I miss our friendship.
09:48Let me go.
09:49I got to go anyway.
09:50You got to go?
09:51Glenn, bye.
09:52We got to stop.
09:53I need a deadline.
09:54What is the deadline to have this room painted?
09:57When I'm done.
09:58I'm not a contractor.
10:00I'm doing this.
10:01Well, can we hire a contractor?
10:02No, because I can do it.
10:06Coming up.
10:11Hi.
10:12Hey.
10:13How are you doing?
10:14Welcome to Tay.
10:15So, y'all think I think I'm better than y'all.
10:18Yeah.
10:19You make us feel belittled.
10:23You're going to try to testify against me.
10:26I'm a prominent person and this attorney is prominent with my family.
10:30If he calls me, I don't need to be subpoenaed by him.
10:34This collective correction is not working.
10:52Boss, big deals.
10:54Straight to the bank, big wheels.
10:57Me and my husband, we purchased a retail building and now we're about to do a restaurant,
11:02as well as me opening up Goddess Lens 2.0.
11:05I mean, with all of that going on, I don't have time for the drama.
11:08What if we stole the charcuterie concept but didn't do charcuterie items?
11:13Okay, cool.
11:14Latrice.
11:15My tasty people.
11:17My tasty people.
11:19Taste is my new baby.
11:21We're starting a restaurant, a lounge, a cigar lounge,
11:25and then the upper level, we're going to do condos.
11:28I'm super excited about it.
11:30This is something that Mississippi actually has never seen.
11:33And we're bringing a new flavor to Jackson, Mississippi.
11:38Uh.
11:39I ain't trippin' on the millions, I'm a billionaire.
11:41Lambos on the ground, private planes in the air.
11:44I ain't trippin' on the millions, I'm a billionaire.
11:46I do what I want.
11:47Taste my dream.
11:48I ain't trippin' on the millions, I'm a billionaire.
11:51Hi!
11:53Welcome to Taste.
11:55My name is Selena Johnson.
11:57I'm a travel agent.
11:58I'm a bail bondsman.
11:59I also have an online store with my daughters.
12:03We have our own clothing line and our own boutique.
12:06I'm a mother of four.
12:08I may not look like I'm a grandma of six, but I am, honey.
12:12So, hats off to me.
12:14Okay, well, listen.
12:16This is Selena.
12:17This is our bar manager.
12:20I made Selena the bar manager because she's been doing this for years.
12:24And she's earned over six figures a year just from bartending.
12:27So, why not have the best in the city?
12:29So, come manage Taste.
12:31Let me show Selena around, talk with her a little bit.
12:34Selena's J.J.'s ex-wife.
12:36She's also been a friend of mine for years, and she's just a good spirit.
12:40So, this is, like, a little loungy area.
12:43Yes.
12:44This is the bar, honey.
12:46I know Selena very well.
12:47Selena has attended my brunches before.
12:50Anytime that I had anything and I was hosting it, Selena was there.
12:57I think Selena is a very nice, beautiful person.
13:05Okay, with everything going on, how my buddy Cliff doing?
13:08Good, girl.
13:09You know, we done divorced, like, 16 times building this restaurant.
13:13But as long as y'all don't go through with the divorce, so.
13:16A little bit.
13:17My man ain't going nowhere.
13:19That's right, baby.
13:20They're like my little darling.
13:21Stay.
13:22I was already busy with Goddess Lent, but purchasing this new building
13:25and opening up Taste is a whole new stress level.
13:29And me and my husband are constantly going back and forth about this building.
13:34At this point, I need a vacation.
13:36Look, how is Mike?
13:37He's doing fine.
13:38You know, I just light up when I say his name.
13:40Oh.
13:41Mike's so crazy, girl.
13:43Listen.
13:44Me and him and my husband together in a club.
13:48Hilarious.
13:49Look, that's why I'm afraid for us to open up and for Mike to come here.
13:52That's going to be a whole nother situation.
13:54I'm engaged to a fine, chocolate young man named Michael.
13:59It's going on four years.
14:00And we bonded over food.
14:02So it was a food truck out there, and my friend was like,
14:05Selena, you need to try this smoked sausage.
14:08And Michael got the last one.
14:10And he gave it to me, and we've been together ever since.
14:13I want to bring you back around the girls,
14:15but I'm just trying to figure out like the right time, the right moment.
14:18Right.
14:19Akeisha sent a message about a collective correction that she wanted us to come to.
14:24And I'm on edge about coming because I don't want nothing to do with any of the ladies.
14:29Like, I don't mess with y'all.
14:32Except for Tamra.
14:33But, Marie, like, we have nothing to talk about.
14:36Tisha, we definitely have nothing to talk about.
14:39Girl, y'all both just tried to jump me.
14:41You tried to jump me when?
14:42At the reunion.
14:44That's right, girl.
14:45You ain't nothing but an insecure b----.
14:47What the b---- am I insecure about?
14:49I'm going to beat the brakes off her ass.
14:51I'm standing here, what's up?
14:52The return of the lions, honey.
14:54The return of the big bags, honey.
14:55That's why you need to go to the collective correction.
15:00Exactly.
15:01What is that supposed to be?
15:03So, I'm guessing that it's to correct.
15:05Correct all the wrongs.
15:06What the hell is a collective correction?
15:09Collective, collective, collective correct, correction.
15:14I do not know what a collective correction is.
15:17The collection, the collective collection.
15:20Collective correction.
15:22We don't need no correction.
15:23Hell, but we need props.
15:25If Tamra goes, then I'll go.
15:28At this point, Tamra is over all the girls.
15:31But we're in this together because I know how she feels and she knows how I feel.
15:35We ride or die right now because we frankly have no choice.
15:38When the last time have you seen Sophia?
15:42I haven't seen her.
15:44Wait, the last time you saw her was in court.
15:46Yes.
15:48So, she did the peace bond, but the judge was like,
15:51we're going to knock it down to just a no contact order.
15:54So, it's just no contact, no social media, no nothing.
15:57Well, that may be a good thing.
15:59It is.
16:00If you see her now, how do you think the interaction will go?
16:03I used to be in ROTC.
16:06I'm going to have to do about face.
16:08Okay.
16:28Zane, are you ready to play?
16:31Uh-oh, be careful.
16:36Hello.
16:37Hi.
16:40Currently, my lupus have been in remission.
16:43I've lost 50 pounds since I'm no longer taking prednisone.
16:46I feel much better.
16:47I'm healthier.
16:48I'm stronger.
16:49And I'm just excited to be in a great place when it comes to my health.
16:54I'm coming.
17:00I was going too fast.
17:01Wait.
17:02Step on my feet.
17:04Oh, not on the gooches.
17:05Not on the gooches.
17:06I'll get up on my own.
17:15Hey.
17:16Hi, y'all.
17:18How you doing, honey?
17:19How you doing?
17:20Hi, Maria.
17:21Hey.
17:22How y'all doing?
17:23Good.
17:24How you doing?
17:25I see you enjoying yourself.
17:26I am.
17:28How y'all been?
17:29We've been good.
17:30What's going on?
17:31Everything's good.
17:32Everything's good.
17:33How are you?
17:34You know, the usual, just working, the kids.
17:36You know, I'm balancing.
17:38Okay.
17:39I got some balance in my life now.
17:41That's what's up.
17:42Yeah, balancing.
17:43You know, my mama, she still dipping in and dipping out.
17:45Okay.
17:46You know how Lula is.
17:47Yep.
17:48My mom, Lula, she continues to have
17:51her struggles along the way.
17:53Why did you choose drugs?
17:55I chose that dope on your mama because I was sick.
18:00You don't feel you need to go into a facility?
18:03Well, I go to all the rehabs.
18:05I want Lula to give up.
18:06He don't do no good.
18:07Shh.
18:08I support her, and I love her on her level
18:11and not try to bring her up to my level.
18:15Y'all know how she do.
18:16Well, you know, I did try to call you.
18:18You did?
18:19I was trying to tell you about Sue's birthday coming up,
18:21her party I wanted you to come.
18:23Oh!
18:24We had my little get-together.
18:25I want everybody to come and celebrate with me.
18:27Really?
18:28And we just sit around like we used to do.
18:30I want you to come, but Nettie got a problem with you coming.
18:33Why Nettie have a problem with me being there?
18:36What'd I do to Nettie?
18:38Let's, come here.
18:39I got to sit down.
18:40Let's sit and talk.
18:41I'm surprised that Nettie feels this hostile about me
18:44because she's always needing me.
18:47Nettie used to be a stripper.
18:48She was living in Dallas, Texas.
18:50When she came to Mississippi, she asked me,
18:53begged me to give her a chance
18:55and allow her to work for my accounting firm, and I did.
18:59I changed her life.
19:01You know I have been over backwards for this girl.
19:04Why she have so much hatred towards me?
19:07We know you this big, successful woman,
19:10but sometimes you make us feel low
19:13because we not there like you.
19:15What'd I do?
19:16I go to work and go home.
19:18You make us feel belittled.
19:21It's just like you embarrassed of us sometimes.
19:23And that's how we feel.
19:24And we be wanting to be included.
19:26Y'all acting like I left y'all behind on my journey,
19:29and I didn't do that.
19:31How long you been working for me?
19:34That's got to be about 15 to 16 years.
19:37My cousins, they stuck in a rut,
19:40and I feel like they're taking it out on me
19:42because they're not where they want to be in life.
19:44I've always put my family in position to win
19:48and create opportunities for them.
19:50I mean, you can leave the horse to the water,
19:52but you can't make them drink it.
19:54I get what you're saying, but, like, that's not my intent.
19:57That may not be your intent.
19:59But that's how we come out.
20:01That's how we come out of that.
20:03My success don't dictate or determine the next person.
20:08By hating on me,
20:09all you're doing is blocking your own blessing.
20:12You got to consider other people's feelings other than your own.
20:15So y'all think I think I'm better than y'all?
20:18Yeah.
20:19You know, it's just always ongoing mess and issues
20:22when it comes to my cousins.
20:24That's what they was raised up around.
20:26But somebody have to break the cycle.
20:28I'm sorry if y'all feel that way,
20:30but that's not my intent.
20:33Coming up...
20:35You feel a type of way about me and Tamra
20:37going to court for Selena.
20:39I feel the same way about you guys
20:41trying to insert yourself or having a...
20:43But, I mean, your situation was a part
20:45of what we were all dealing with.
20:47My situation was not a part of what you guys were dealing with.
20:50It made me look at you different.
20:52Like, I was like, who this fake-ass bitch is?
20:55I got some stuff to get off my chest
20:57because that woman, uh...
20:59I got some stuff to get off my chest
21:01because that woman, uh, Pearson?
21:03What's her name?
21:04Pearson.
21:05Like I said, she got on TV and accused me
21:07of flirting with that man in front of God and everybody,
21:09and I've been mad about it for four years.
21:11Oh, my God, girl.
21:12It's about to go down
21:22It's about to go down
21:24Today, I am bringing the ladies together
21:26for my collective correction.
21:28So I am hoping that we will put it all on the table,
21:32everybody will be honest,
21:34everybody will take accountability,
21:36and we will be able to move forward as the collective.
21:46Look at y'all looking spring!
21:48Girl, it's springtime in Mississippi!
21:50Yay!
21:51I'm here and I'm thinking, what we doing?
21:53Is this a way for you to bring the collective
21:55together to get your agenda pushed?
21:57Are we really here about to correct the collective?
22:00Let's get this show on the road.
22:11Oh, my goodness.
22:12The wind is windy, honey.
22:14Yeah, it is.
22:15Me and Tamra just pulled up to the collective correction
22:18and Tamra's with me because she knows exactly
22:21what I went through with these girls
22:23and when it comes to them, anything may happen.
22:26I don't know, you guys may have a whole session
22:29dedicated to bashing trees.
22:31Again.
22:32Hello, hello, hello.
22:34Hi!
22:35Thank you for coming.
22:37I have been, of course, very busy.
22:40I am back hosting, doing entertainment correspondent work
22:44and I am a mom.
22:46I have a beautiful daughter.
22:48I am enjoying life right now.
22:51I am very blessed.
22:53I'm happy.
22:54I'm at peace.
22:55I haven't had any drama going on.
22:57Like, I am just loving this season I am in.
23:01I haven't seen you in a long time.
23:03Get the girls together now, honey.
23:05You look beautiful.
23:06Thank you, I'm proud of you.
23:07Hey, Tamra.
23:08Hey, Tamra.
23:10Hey, girl.
23:11Tamra.
23:13We haven't seen each other.
23:15How are you?
23:16I noticed that Latrice did not hug me.
23:19It's cool, boo.
23:20I see you.
23:21But you know what?
23:22Big sis is going to still give you a hug
23:24because I got up out of my bed and took time away from my coins
23:28and we're about to get some correction on.
23:30So give me a hug, boo.
23:32All right, so we're going to get started
23:33because Maria will join us when she joins us.
23:35So y'all follow me down the street, please.
23:37Not walking down Ferris Street.
23:39Don't act like y'all ain't never walked Ferris Street.
23:42Do you have to go?
23:44We are not walking far, ladies.
23:46I thought we were going in your building.
23:48Make the best of your free walking day.
23:51Miss Honey, this is Ferris Street.
23:54But we're going to change the narrative.
23:56We're changing the narrative.
23:57Make the money.
23:58Hey.
23:59Hi.
24:00So I have a little surprise for everybody.
24:02I, as you guys know, have been doing a lot of things down here
24:06trying to bring my business to Ferris Street.
24:09Well, this time it worked and my proposal was accepted.
24:12Yes!
24:13Congratulations.
24:14So we are about to take a walk to the new home
24:17Woo!
24:19I know that Ikeisha has been putting in the work.
24:22It's super exciting to know that another black woman
24:26will be bringing another successful business on Ferris Street.
24:30This will be the new location for Bricks and Hops.
24:32Okay.
24:33Bricks and Hops.
24:34These openings right here, as you can see, ladies,
24:37it will have a patio that goes out to the backside.
24:40Ooh, nice.
24:41Outside bar.
24:43This front part will have multiple seating areas here.
24:46The outdoor will be the main event, you know.
24:49I can see the vision.
24:50The fact that I'm here in her building
24:52and she's showing me around this historic moment,
24:55like, that's great.
24:56I'm so proud of Ikeisha.
24:58We're going to go out here to this little setup I have out here.
25:00Have a little charcuterie.
25:01We're going to follow you.
25:02Have a little champagne toast and just catch up with each other, y'all.
25:05Woo!
25:06We're going to have a picnic?
25:07Woo!
25:08This is beautiful.
25:09Yes!
25:13Woo!
25:14This is beautiful.
25:15Congratulations.
25:16Thank you so much.
25:17Thank you for coming again.
25:19You're welcome.
25:21For sure.
25:22For sure.
25:23Marie just texted me and she said she's not going to make it.
25:25Sorry, love.
25:26See you soon.
25:28Okay.
25:29I really hate that I missed the collective correction
25:32because I felt like I really needed to be there.
25:34But the opening of my treatment clinic,
25:38too priority over the collection correction.
25:44Thank you for putting this together
25:45because I'm in a different space in my life
25:47and I'm facing a lot of demons.
25:49Yes, I'm being blessed tremendously.
25:51But with Latrice, I can talk to her about things
25:53that I couldn't talk to nobody else about.
25:55You know what I'm saying?
25:56Different things that I'm going on.
25:57I have people that I can call on that I can't call on anymore.
26:00You know what I'm saying?
26:01Well, I'm glad that you said that
26:03because that's the reason I wanted to do this
26:06because what's happening right now is so petty.
26:09It's so petty.
26:10And that petty went into something really, really serious.
26:13Yeah.
26:14My thing with the whole collective,
26:16we can sit here at a table and we can come by y'all.
26:18But then once we leave here, everybody's on the phone
26:21with this whole catty BS.
26:23You never know like what the next person
26:25is about to do to the next person.
26:27But who is doing that?
26:29Because I know I've never been on the phone
26:32talking about who is this
26:33or what your husband was doing or whatever.
26:35Because when I leave here, I'm dealing with my children.
26:37I mean, you can put that out there.
26:39From the reason now, I mean, she's saying it's going to happen again.
26:41She's saying it's going to happen again.
26:42But we're saying it's not.
26:44Girl, please.
26:45One thing about the collective,
26:46we all pop behind each other's back.
26:48But the difference between me and them
26:50is I'll pop behind your back and in your face.
26:53This has to be a safe space.
26:54You have to be able to let us know how you feel
26:57and what bothers you.
26:58If the people don't know what they've done wrong,
27:00then they may repeat it.
27:01Girl, these people, everybody knows what they have done.
27:03And everybody at this table,
27:04we all have done wrong things,
27:06but we're trying to just move, I think.
27:08Let's talk about it.
27:09When y'all fell out is when I found out
27:11that you and your husband were trying to set my husband up.
27:14Well, where did that come from?
27:16I heard it from Latrice.
27:17Yeah.
27:18Girl, you know Glenn wouldn't even get in,
27:20talk about, get in no mess with like that.
27:23I found out that Latisha and her husband, Glenn,
27:28were plotting to set up my husband
27:31with a girl who was going to slide in his DMs
27:35and that maybe, I guess,
27:36they thought he was going to try to talk to her.
27:38I don't give a ****.
27:40Who is DMing Willie?
27:41Willie has what I call for his wife, respect.
27:46You and Glenn were not trying to set Willie up?
27:49No, we're not trying to set Willie up.
27:51How would I even get to Willie?
27:53Y'all got to get some damn ginkgo or something
27:55because y'all all got amnesia.
27:57It is a safe space, but it has to feel a safe space.
28:01Even with SoGucci, you throw a lot of shade.
28:03I do.
28:04You throw a lot of shade.
28:05I can handle shade,
28:06but what affects me is when my family's involved.
28:09Since we bringing it up,
28:11even when we had the hearing, you know,
28:13I see my assailant walk in,
28:16Jay is with me, the kids,
28:18and all of a sudden you came up to Jay
28:20and you was like, well, I was subpoena.
28:21I was like, well, why are you here?
28:24Were you trying to testify against me?
28:27I know that's your buddy.
28:28It's just my family mess.
28:30You know, let us work it out.
28:31You didn't want Maria in your mess,
28:33but all of a sudden you all in my family mess.
28:35I wasn't in your family mess.
28:36I was minding my business.
28:37No, I could have easily called a T-shirt or a T-shirt.
28:41I was minding my business,
28:42but I am a prominent person.
28:44I'm a prominent person,
28:46and this attorney is prominent with my family.
28:48I don't care nothing about that.
28:50I don't need to be subpoenaed like that.
28:52You told me that.
28:53You told me that.
28:54Okay, so...
28:55You told me that.
28:57This is a sign that this collective correction is not working.
29:02I don't care how much you try to dress this up
29:04to look like a brunch,
29:05it is not working, sis.
29:07What are we doing?
29:08Sophia, can you calm down?
29:16Even when we had the hearing, you know,
29:18I see my assailant walk in,
29:21and all of a sudden you came up to Jay,
29:23and you was like, well, I was subpoenaed.
29:24I'm like, how was you subpoenaed for a peace bond hearing?
29:27I'm a prominent person,
29:29and this attorney is prominent with my family.
29:31I don't care nothing about that.
29:33I don't need to be subpoenaed like that.
29:35You told me that.
29:36You told me that.
29:37Tamara said she was asked to be there.
29:39You wasn't forced,
29:40so you showed up because Tamara wanted to show up.
29:43I know where you stand,
29:44and you know where I stand.
29:46If it bothered you that Tamara was at that hearing,
29:50you should have called.
29:51This is what we're talking about.
29:52And I did feel like you probably did feel some type of way.
29:54Yeah, and you guys are mad about it,
29:56and you haven't said anything
29:57when it could have been solved with a conversation.
29:59I did not want to walk up in nobody's court
30:01if you want the honest to got truth.
30:02You know, Tamara, as I sit back and look at it,
30:04it was an uncomfortable place for you.
30:06I was never going to intentionally hurt anybody.
30:08That's never my intention.
30:10Never has been.
30:11I need a clarity because I didn't know,
30:12and I was getting angry,
30:13and I'm glad Akeisha had this roundtable discussion
30:16because it could have went left.
30:19People are thinking it's like,
30:21oh, Gucci was antagonizing.
30:23Oh, Gucci did whatever, whatever.
30:24You need to express to them how you felt
30:27and how it went so far.
30:29I mean, when I first pulled up at the event,
30:32I actually parked right behind her.
30:34So I went into defense mode.
30:36And the first thing that went to my mind,
30:38oh, my goodness, she set this up.
30:39No, that wasn't my intention at all.
30:41But I can understand how you felt.
30:43You know, I apologize if you did.
30:45You did. You did text me.
30:46I don't know if I told you that.
30:48She did text me, and I was upset,
30:50and I didn't respond.
30:51She did text me.
30:52Yeah.
30:53She did.
30:54I texted her, then she accidentally sent
30:55the picture back to me.
30:56I did.
30:57I was trying to show somebody else.
30:58I did.
30:59No, no, no, no.
31:00I sent it back to the person who sent it.
31:02I was like, damn.
31:04Well, see, you know me.
31:05I'm going to be talking about you
31:06because you didn't send the screenshot to me.
31:08I didn't send it to you?
31:09Yeah, you didn't send it to Akeisha.
31:10No, I'm like, that was never my intention.
31:12I just felt like it made me look at you different.
31:15Like, I was like, who this fake-ass bitch is?
31:17You know, like, why the hell did I bring her in?
31:19I mean, that's fair.
31:20That's fair.
31:21But I was hurt because when outside forces interject,
31:24it just makes it worse.
31:26So you feel a type of way about me and Tamra
31:28going to court for Selena.
31:30I feel the same way about you guys
31:32trying to insert yourself or having an argument.
31:34And then there's me.
31:35I don't know if we can really compare it.
31:37No, because your situation was a part
31:39of what we were all dealing with.
31:41My situation was not a part of what you guys were dealing with.
31:43No, I'm saying what was talked about
31:45and the interactions they see with you and your husband.
31:47What can anybody tell me what they,
31:50what interactions you guys saw?
31:52Since we laid it out all on paper.
31:54Well, no, because then I don't want to go back
31:56into you feeling that we are inserting ourselves
31:58into your business.
31:59No, I mean, people had concern, but you cleared that up.
32:02When they thought that you had bruises,
32:04when they thought that he was being aggressive with you
32:06when you guys were out somewhere.
32:07Those were things that ended up being topics
32:09because of what people individually saw
32:11when they saw y'all together.
32:13You're thinking or assuming that people
32:15are doing stuff to you, so you go ahead.
32:17You're playing offensively.
32:18No, I don't.
32:19I mean, defensively.
32:20Listen, I don't assume anything.
32:22I don't react.
32:23You have to, because I want to know.
32:24You're not saying what we have said,
32:26what who has said.
32:27Well, I am.
32:28Like, you need to tell us what you've heard that we said,
32:31because I don't insert myself in married people's business.
32:34Okay.
32:35Akisha, you know what you did.
32:37At reunion, you were definitely insertive
32:39and implying that my husband may be
32:42this type of person.
32:43I'm going to look over it this time,
32:45but she better not do it again.
32:47Nobody at this table, none of us are perfect,
32:49no matter how we want to appear to be.
32:51We all have said hurtful things.
32:53The only thing we can do is move forward,
32:55and I'm asking that we hold each other accountable
32:57for what we do after this day.
32:59Okay.
33:00We can't change the past.
33:01That's the importance of what we're saying.
33:03It's talking.
33:04It's communicating.
33:05Again, thank you, Akisha, so much for putting this together.
33:07It was much needed.
33:08The collective means so much.
33:10It's more than just getting together, doing brunches.
33:12It's about really just being really a sisterhood,
33:15and I want us to stand on that, being a sisterhood.
33:17All of y'all sitting at this table,
33:19in the absence of Marie,
33:21has really contributed to what's going on with me right now
33:25and the success that I do have.
33:27So I do want to, you know, talk later on.
33:29Latrice, I would love to have a one-on-one with you
33:31if you would be open to that.
33:33I would definitely love for us to do that as well.
33:36I got to get a little bit right there.
33:39Oh, thank you.
33:41This top mine's off, sweetie.
33:43Oh, look at you.
33:44You know.
33:45Thank you, sunshine.
33:46To this collective correction.
33:49We got a coffee.
33:50Let's go.
33:52Oh, congratulations again.
33:54Congratulations!
33:56I almost forgot why we were here.
33:58No, this is the reason why we're here.
34:01It's bigger than us.
34:02Overall, the collective correction for me
34:05was a weight lifted off my shoulders.
34:07All right, guys.
34:08Thank y'all so much for coming.
34:09I guess I help your ass.
34:10Yeah, I don't even want no help.
34:12Yeah, whatever.
34:13I got a chance to tell Tamra how I felt.
34:15You know, I got a chance to tell Latrice how I felt.
34:18Bitching on evidence.
34:20Y'all look so cute together.
34:22Overall, there was very little bickering
34:25and very little resolve.
34:27But at this point, I just need time.
34:30Where you want us, Ikeisha?
34:32I'm up right here.
34:33I honestly don't know if there will be a change
34:36within the Bell Collective.
34:37I mean, Max Marie was not here today,
34:39so only time will tell.

36:00She's someone who I can actually confide in
36:02and she was once part of The Collective.
36:04She was the one that was closest to my age,
36:06so we vibe a little better than me and the other girls.
36:10Marie!
36:11Oh, my God.
36:12Listen, girl.
36:13She's delusional.
36:14Girl.
36:15Oh, man.
36:16Theresa and I are so shady.
36:17We don't mean to be when we get together
36:19in a straight smack talking all the time.
36:22How's you house, Cliff?
36:24Girl, you know, he is crazy as ever.
36:27You know what?
36:28He is.
36:30But I don't think I know a more compatible couple.
36:34Because if you think he's sane, you're tripping.
36:38Come on, bitch.
36:39She's crazy, too.
36:40I don't know how you do it.
36:41When you ready to bury his body,
36:43you know who to call.
36:46All right, Mama.
36:47So we're gonna get that red wine off your teeth.
36:50We need to do all of that
36:51because you know they say that I'm a drunk and everything.
36:53They gonna say what they gonna say
36:54because they need something to say
36:55and they ain't never saying nothing.
36:57Ever.
36:59We're gonna do a little power wash action.
37:01All right.
37:03I admire any black woman in business.
37:05I know how hard Antoinette works
37:07to build her dental practice on her own.
37:09I have my husband with me,
37:11which makes it easier.
37:12You all done?
37:13Uh-uh.
37:14Is it good?
37:15To be a woman in a man's world,
37:17it takes a lot of courage to do what she's doing.
37:20So I admire her.
37:22What's going on with the collective?
37:23Like, what's going on with the girls?
37:25This is the crazy thing.
37:27Like, I honestly don't talk to any of them
37:29except for Tambra.
37:31What?
37:32Well, Akeisha,
37:33we did a collective correction.
37:35Is that one of the new girls?
37:36Mm-hmm.
37:37Okay.
37:38Well, Akeisha, like, she's 100.
37:40She's a real business owner.
37:41She did get the green light
37:43to put her business on Ferris Street,
37:46but then, you know, you have to get the finance
37:48and, like, she doesn't even have the key
37:49to the building right now.
37:50She needs a GoFundMe.
37:51It's a GoFundMe situation.
37:53I didn't ask anybody for a dime.
37:55Yes, not a dime, no investors.
37:57Self-made.
37:58From scratch.
37:59From scratch.
38:00Walking in grass, honey.
38:02Tisha, I still don't trust her.
38:04She's not a trustworthy person.
38:05She sat on that couch
38:06and told God and everybody
38:07that I was flirting with her man,
38:08and I was like,
38:09this one that cheats on you?
38:10Yeah, Antoinette's sympathy
38:11of her new practice meant dental.
38:14You're holding, like, his hand.
38:15He's like, oh, I was just giving him some Hennessy.
38:18You know, and you even told me.
38:19You said, I want you to go home,
38:21and I want you to make love to him.
38:23You said that to me.
38:24No, I did not flirt with your husband.
38:27I don't know what's going on
38:29in y'all's marriages.
38:30I'm not breaking y'all up.
38:31You wouldn't dare.
38:33I did not flirt with Glenn,
38:34and I'm sorry that she saw it that way.
38:36She's not a trustworthy person.
38:38If that's what you're feeling,
38:39then that's why.
38:40Oh, my God, girl.
38:41So, Tisha, and then there's Tambra,
38:43and then...
38:44Marie.
38:45Oh, yeah, well, straight jacket.
38:46If we can just get our hands
38:48on her straight jacket.
38:50I legitimately do not like them.
38:53I have nothing nice to say.
38:54So, to couple that
38:56with actually having a business
38:58that requires me to be here
39:00all the time,
39:01I'm not gonna make time for that.
39:02I lose money being in rooms with them.
39:04Yeah, and I completely understand it
39:06because I think with the dynamic
39:09of the collective now,
39:10everything is just tarnished.
39:11I don't know if we can come back from it
39:13because there's so much hatred.
39:14There's so much lying.
39:16Like, I've never seen a group of women
39:18who try to tear somebody down,
39:20who try to lie on.
39:21So, if these bitches come for me again
39:23anytime in the future,
39:24could you come with me
39:25and gather these girls together
39:27one last time?
39:29I am not gonna leave you hanging.
39:31I got some stuff to get off my chest
39:33because that woman, Pearson,
39:35what's her name?
39:36Pearson.
39:37Like I said, she got on TV
39:38and accused me of flirting with that man
39:40in front of God and everybody,
39:41and I've been mad about it for four years
39:43because that man has been
39:44regularly embarrassing you,
39:45and I would have been,
39:46I would have been handled that.
39:48Oh, girl.
39:49I'm actually willing
39:50to give the ladies another chance,
39:52but if they're on the same mess
39:54that they were on before,
39:56then I'll correct them myself,
39:59and trust me,
40:00they won't like it.
40:02This season on
40:03Belle Collective.

40:35Somebody tried to kill me
40:38and my family.

40:41What are you talking about?

40:45Like insurance.
40:46Me, you, Josh,
40:47insurance is through your job.
40:48I gotta do a diagnostic mammogram
40:51because they found something
40:52in my breast.
