Amy Brown
Every day our world gets a little more connected, but a little further apart. But then there are moments that remind us to be more human.
Sheryl
Thank you for calling Amica Insurance.
Amy Brown
Hey, I was just in an accidents.
Lexi
Don't worry, we'll get you taken care of.
Amy Brown
At Amica, we understand that looking out for each other isn't new or groundbreaking. It's human. Amica, empathy is our best policy.
Sheryl
Yes.
Terrell
Okay, we, we gotta, we gotta, we gotta talk about it because it's been all the blue.
Lexi
What?
Terrell
Reality TV or real life trauma? Has reality gone too far for ratings? What was in the. What was in the blogs in regards to on Bravo? The Real Housewives.
Sheryl
Real Housewives. Yes. So I actually know Brittany Edie and Kenya Moore because I know Mona girl. So.
Terrell
Yeah, baby, yeah. Ok. Yeah.
Sheryl
And I was so happy to see that Britney got casted on this season because I'm a big fan of Real Housewives of Atlanta and I love all the ladies. I love the show, but I did think like they needed like some new girls. So I Was really excited to see Brittany on there. She's, like, newly married. She's a beautiful girl. She's been on, like, music videos, but she also owns her own insurance company. And so, you know, I thought she was, like, a great addition to the show. And then while they were filming, it came out that they had this scene where Kenya made these poster boards and had pictures of Britney doing some, you know, sexual acts, you know, and this was, I guess, to get back at her for whatever shade that Britney had thrown at her previously.
Terrell
They said that Britney had. Allegedly. Britney had threatened Kenya to shoot Kenya or something.
Lexi
Yeah.
Terrell
Get her gun. Pull her gun. Something in regards to a gun.
Sheryl
Yeah, she said she had a gun on her. So I haven't seen the episode yet. I need to go catch up.
Terrell
I don't think this part was shown, but Kenya didn't. A few people.
Sheryl
I did see a clip. They showed a clip of Britney saying something about a gun. Like, she said something about a gun. But so the next episode, I guess, is when Kenya, like, addresses it, and I guess, you know, is trying to, like, embarrass her and, you know, basically, you know, shame her or whatever. But this is, like, Brittany is trying to apologize and Kenya's inhabitant, and she just shows all these pictures.
Lexi
And the rest of the cast doesn't like revenge porn.
Sheryl
Yes. So the rest of the cast immediately is like, no, this is too far. I don't even want to be here filming anymore. And they leave the event. The event was actually for Kenya. Kenya was. It was like, her opening of her hair salon. And literally, she used this moment. You know, she was talking about how she's been, you know, working on Kenya Moore hair care for all this time, and. And then she actually starts talking about Britney, and everybody's just like, why would you use this moment? Why would you ruin your own moment by showing porn or basically showing porn or whatever? So the rest of the cast was just very upset that Kenya chose to go this route. They felt like this was beneath her, you know? Cause she's an OG Kenya's been on for. I don't know.
Terrell
Like, she is one of the stars of the show. I just feel like the longest.
Lexi
No.
Sheryl
Yes.
Terrell
I just feel like it's a time and a place where everything. It should have been dead. And this is the thing with reality tv. You know, we did reality TV when the whole. Because it happened on ours. Somebody mentioned a gun when we were filming. Y'all remember that, right? We put a stop to it. We reported it. We, you know, we Said we needed to say, but I felt like they should have. Production should have stepped in before it even got to that point to allow someone else. Because once you Once. Things like that happen and you say something or you threaten someone, someone else can go to the furthest. Extinct. Because they are, you know, emotionally hurt. They're. They're pissed, they're mad, so they want to retaliate. So I feel like, you know, with production, it should have been dead in the beginning.
Sheryl
You mean after Britney said what she said. They should have.
Terrell
They should have. They should. I feel like there should have been. If it was any type of threat, gun violence is just as bad. It's not.
Lexi
Right.
Sheryl
So after Kenya. I just want to mention, after Kenya showed the revenge porn, Bravo stopped filming with her. Like, they decided to, like, basically take her off the show. And so there's a lot of uproar right now. Yeah. Because, you know, they took her off the show, but, you know, Brittany Trip's in the contract talking about having a gun. And so they're like, why not, you know, take her off the show or stop filming with her when she's the one who made those threats? So, Terrell, you were saying that they should have stopped filming when Britney first said what she said.
Terrell
I feel like something should have been done on that. That end, too, because it's like, this is. I mean, gun violence is just as. As bad as revenge porn. They're both bad things. So it's like, either you're gonna. You're gonna. You need to penalize us both.
Sheryl
Yeah.
Terrell
Or. Or y'all should have put a stop in the beginning. It's not right. Yeah, it's not right no matter what, especially for two beautiful, successful black women. But when you gotta penalize someone, I feel like both should have had some type of accountability when it came to the punishment.
Lexi
I agree.
Sheryl
I don't like how production is versatile when they step in, you know, like you said, Sheryl, I think it has to be the same across the board. I also think it's their fault the way that the cast feels like they have to say certain things or do certain things to make a viral moment, you know? You know, Brittany is obviously new on the show, so maybe she felt like she needed to do the most. You know what I mean? Maybe, you know, she got. She was angry and just said something, whatever the case is. But I do think that these shows in production, and I can speak because I've been on a reality show. I do think they. There's pressure to perform. I do Think there's pressure to. You know what I mean? And so I think the messed up, like, situation to be in, I think production needs to set the tone across the board. Like, this is the show that we want, you know, this is what's allowed, this is what's not. This is what we'll tolerate, this is what we won't. And that way it's even an even skill across the. Across the board, you know what I mean? As far as what the punishment will be if you do X, Y and Z. Like everybody knows. And then everybody gets treated the same as well. And also nobody gets hurt because the pressure that they put on us to perform, it's a lot. And you want to do well, you want the show to do well. So, like, you damned if you do, you damned if you don't. And that's a messed up position to feel, you know, to be in.
Terrell
It sucks. Yeah, it sucks. It had to go this far, that far. You know, they all played a great role on the show. I like Kenya. Cause she's very extra on the show. It's Dawn. Amazing. She's beautiful on there. I just, you know, it sucks that it had to come to.
Sheryl
But the thing with Kenya is also her. With her being the OG is kind of like, girl, you didn't have to do all that. You know what I'm saying? You ain't have to do that. Like you were still going to be on top regardless. You are the og. Say that for the newbies. Say, let the newbies do the most. You know what I mean? It's like, you should know at this point in your career on this show, you know what I'm saying? What you need to do, you don't have to do that, like be the og.
Lexi
I agree. Ashley.
Sheryl
I'm saying let the newbie.
Lexi
And this is her event.
Terrell
Yes.
Lexi
This is her finally her opening. I feel like her storyline has been Kenya, more hair care. You know, a lot of that. You know, of just like really like, this is. I finally made it. I finally have my place, my beauty salon, whatever. And she's showing out. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. That was not the time or the place for that.
Terrell
Yeah. But I feel like she just was retaliating to what happened to the threats and stuff. It's a sad situation.
Lexi
And you know, when the cameras are rolling. Yeah, people want clout. They want, you know, to be heard and seen and want to see.
Sheryl
I don't understand.
Terrell
Well, I think it's a lot like, we face situations where we know what happens behind cameras and what's going on. And you're frustrated, you're furious, you're not thinking straight. You know, you're angry. So sometimes you. I mean, all human beings, we say and do things that we eventually later regret. But I just feel like, you know, the punishment should have been equal across the board.
Sheryl
Well, the people are saying in the chat that the pics were already online. But I still don't think that makes it any better. You know, I still think that Kenya shouldn't have done that. And I. And you know what? And I want to give Brittany, you know, the benefit of the doubt, too. Because, you know, you get on camera and, like, and when you get upset, everything just feels heightened, you know what I mean? So she probably was just talking, you know what I mean? She was just angry. And it just. That's what she said. I'm sure in the clip, the little clip that I saw, she didn't look afraid or threatened or whatever, you know what I mean? It didn't seem like an environment where Kenya thought she was about to get shot. You know what I mean? You could tell it was just they were arguing or talking shit, you know what I'm saying? So I feel like Kenya could have, even if she didn't want to accept Brittany's apology. But taking her moment, her own event, to get back at Brittany, who was a newbie, like that was really, honestly beneath you. You know what I'm saying? You didn't have to do that.
Lexi
Yeah, that's not a good thing.
Sheryl
The threat. I don't know.
Lexi
It's just still not good. Especially with Dylan saying you have a weapon.
Sheryl
It says she hired.
Lexi
I don't like it.
Sheryl
So maybe it's Kenya who felt threatened, you know, Cause to do all that, to hire a private investigator to go.
Terrell
Who hired a private investigator? Kenya.
Sheryl
She hired a private investigator to dig up information about Brittany and to find me.
Terrell
It's not that serious. Now. I'm not finna hire. I'm not about to hire no private investigator.
Sheryl
That's what Ken did. But that's what I'm saying. Ken, you the OG girl. Why you doing. Doing all that?
Lexi
You don't have to do all this. You don't have to. You do not have to do all of this.
Sheryl
Yeah, I don't know. I'm just playing.
Lexi
You wanted to hurt her for sure, but I'm just saying, not in my space. I'm not. I'm not gonna highlight somebody else at my event. I'm not doing it. Not doing it. And now risking not being on the show. No one wants to film with you and all that too. So there you go.
Terrell
It was a big deal.
Sheryl
But Bravo got to do better. I think judgment. Well, not just Bravo, just these reality shows and their productions in general. I think they need to do better.
Terrell
At.
Sheryl
Holding everybody accountable and having a standard and not putting pressure on a cast to do the most because it could get unsafe for real, like, something really.
Terrell
But I feel like they knew it was wrong. It's pre air, you know, Bravo fired. You know, apparently King is not working on. I meant being on Housewives anymore. If it was that bad, which it was, why still airing like y'all are just.
Lexi
So when do we hold them accountable? The network accountable?
Terrell
Because basically you're public publicly humiliating her still. Because you aired it, but you still fired the person who did it. So why Eric?
Sheryl
Because they gonna get what they need to get out of it, regardless. They don't care. They don't care about us for real. They just don't want to get sued any further. So they gonna do a little something, you know what I'm saying, And make it seem like, oh, we got things under control over here. We don't tolerate that, you know, and maybe because Kenya been on for a long time, you know, maybe they like, well, if we got to pick one.
Terrell
Yeah.
Sheryl
I don't know how they worked it out, but yeah, it's like they going to get what they need to get out of it. They're going to do just enough to get by so they don't get sued and looked at crazy. You know, they just covering themselves. That's it. But they don't care about the cast. These production companies, these shows, they don't care about the cast.
Lexi
They own to the next show, you know? Yeah.
Sheryl
It's their job. They're going to find another girl. It just. It is what it is.
Terrell
Someone said they didn't show the pics. It's not about showing the pics. It's. It's the whole thing. So now you're basically. It's like, they know what happened. Everybody can go and see. See the pics now and now Google it.
Sheryl
Go look it up.
Lexi
Figure it out. Yeah, but if.
Terrell
If it was. It was bad and it was the issue, why air that scene? Why not just delete that whole scene?
Sheryl
Yeah.
Lexi
Hence we're talking about it now. And it has everyone in the uproar.
Sheryl
So maybe they'll bring Kenya back.
Lexi
That's what it is.
Sheryl
I hope they Bring Kenya back.
Terrell
They need to bring Nene back. Nene is the queen of reality, baby.
Sheryl
Yeah, they should bring Nene back. They should have Kenya back. I wouldn't even mind seeing Kim back.
Terrell
Kim Z.
Sheryl
What's the time with all her wigs?
Terrell
Kim and Bounty.
Lexi
Party for the party.
Sheryl
Yeah. And Big Papa.
Terrell
Oh, yeah. What happened to Big Papa? It's Croy, I think, but I think her.
Sheryl
But they be going through it. They done. They getting a divorce. They done had the longest divorce child. They just be fighting on the Internet and stuff every. Every other day. And the police, they just be sitting there talking to the police, and the police just be sitting there like, okay, well, get your stuff. Get your.
Terrell
It's.
Sheryl
It's a lot her. Troy, he used to be Croy. Used to be Phil's ex teammate when they're on the Falcons. Child. I feel so bad for him.
Terrell
He looks old now. He aged.
Sheryl
He is stressed out. Okay. Then I had all them kids.
Terrell
How many kids did he give her?
Lexi
Because she had a few already. She had two girls, and then they.
Sheryl
Had, like, twins and some others. I don't know.
Lexi
I don't know.
Terrell
A whole Brady Bunch. Are reality stars being pushed too far by producers in the name of good tv?
Sheryl
Hell, yeah.
Lexi
I think so. It's definitely a huge influence. They're definitely feeding certain tidbits, especially the black women shows.
Sheryl
They be pitting us against each other. They always want somebody arguing and fighting. We can't never just have no cute kumbaya moments. It always gotta be something. Some drama, you know?

Y'all don't agree?
Lexi
No, I'm like, I'm just, I agree with you. I'm just sit. I'm over here shaking my head.
Sheryl
It's the truth. Yeah. I think it's always. They always push in, you know, a narrative, that.
Lexi
Narrative. Yeah, yeah. Putting it.
Terrell
When we do have good positive shows, it's like, oh, they boring. Ain't doing that. Then they, they.
Lexi
Always going to be something.
Sheryl
It's, it's, it's space for all of it out there. The people who are saying it's boring, it's boring. It's some people out there who like it, they just ain't writing it. Or, you know, it's always the haters who got the most to say, yeah, that's right.
Lexi
Very, very loud.
Sheryl
But the people who actually wrong, they like it just ain't on here. Like, I don't like that they look.
Terrell
Like that when I say they be devoted into these. Oh, my goodness. It's so.
Lexi
Yeah.
Terrell
Some man on Twitter you beat, you tried to take a million dollars, blah, blah, blah. I'm like, do you really think this. Yes, they do. Like, do you really?
Lexi
Yes, they do think. Yes, they do think.
Terrell
Oh, my goodness. It's crazy. You want money, you want that? Do you really think, like, be for real?
Lexi
I feel like reality TV has just definitely put people on this invisible pedestal and then we see and then we're influenced by it. So whatever it is, like, I mean, look at Kim Kardashian. The Kardashians in general, they've been doing this for what, 20 years or something? I don't, I don't even know anymore. So it's like A long, long, long, long time of like, okay, it's reality tv. Y'all want to tune in. And from tuning in, there are other platforms that are, you know, that can happen. So people are just doing whatever now so they can stay relevant, unfortunately, and not thinking of long term consequences.
Sheryl
Yeah. But I do think there's a space for shows where we can show black women doing positive things for sure. But they gotta give us a chance to show it. You know what I mean? I was hoping we could show it.
Terrell
Well, you never know.
Lexi
We have some hidden seams that need to pop back out, you know, Never know.
Terrell
You never know. What?
Lexi
Never know? Yeah, never know.
Sheryl
Never know.
Lexi
Y'all. Yes, I'm over here.
Terrell
Just.
Lexi
What?
Terrell
So do you think shows like this are helping or harming black women's reputation in the media?
Sheryl
Wait, what?
Lexi
I think it's harming it. Is it harming or. You said harming or helping, Right?
Terrell
Helping or harming black women's representation in the media?
Sheryl
I think people are sick of seeing the same thing over and over. Like, I think people are like the angry black woman. Women can't get along. It's always some drama, you know, I think that's. That is entertaining. You know what I mean? There is a lane for that, like Zeus, you know, that whole network is working for them like it is.
Lexi
Right.
Sheryl
So I think, you know, there is a space for that, but I think people want something else. They want to see, like, the positive. They want to see it. So I don't think that it's, like, harming, because I just think they need to make space for us to show that part, you know what I mean? And I hope people realize, like, even from watching our own show, like, I hope y'all don't think, like every day, like, that's just what we out here doing. Because, like, y'all see us on our social media. Y'all see us being mothers, y'all see us being wives, y'all see us being business women. You know, y'all see us doing real life. So don't think that just what you saw on these little episodes, you know, is our whole. That represents our whole entire life.
Lexi
Right, Right, right.
Sheryl
Doesn't. You know what I mean? It's just this is what they chose to show because obviously this is what's selling right now. And I think that people who think that that's our life, that can seem like it's harming our reputation or whatever, but in real life, you know, we got a lot going on. We got a lot of layers. To us. A lot. A lot going on.
Terrell
Yeah. Okay, y'all, now we have a new segment where we take questions from our fans on social media. We've opened our DMs for all of you to send us questions and message us. So we're pulling three out and answering them live. So Ashley's going to take over this one.
Sheryl
All right, y'all ready for the first one?
Lexi
Sure.
Sheryl
Okay, the first one is you're dating someone with no social media. Is that a red flag or a green flag? No social media.
Terrell
Green flag. Next.
Lexi
I would say a green flag because.
Terrell
That don't have social media.
Lexi
You said what?
Terrell
I would prefer to date someone who doesn't have social media.
Sheryl
Okay.
Terrell
Why? Because I feel like it creates less drama. People are not in your business as much, especially being, you know, a public figure. It's like they don't have nothing to dig up because most people go to social media to entertain or pull. Try to pull the drama out of you. So, yeah, being incognito not on social media is just. It's amazing.
Lexi
Yeah, I like that too. I agree with you, Sherrelle. I don't mind if someone's like running your social media or something. You have to do it for marketing for fans or whatever the case may be. But I prefer someone that is not on there like that. And I honestly like my next situation. It will not be on blast. You know, it's very much that. And I don't. I wouldn't want them to do it either. I feel like it would be very much private just so we can keep it wholesome in our own way. So I just think it can be a double edged sword with social media in general. So if that's something that, you know is starting to affect the relationship, then I don't want it. So I think it's a green flag if they don't have social media. But we're very social, y'all on social media. You know what I mean?
Sheryl
First time y'all gave some green flags.
Lexi
Really?
Sheryl
You think so?
Lexi
Okay.
Terrell
Yeah.
Sheryl
All right, next question.
Lexi
Yeah, because it can be distracting. Yeah.
Sheryl
Okay, next question. You catch your partner texting their ex, but they say it was just closure. What's your next move?
Terrell
He should have had that closure. But what do you think? In this relationship that's a red flag.
Lexi
Because we could talk about it.
Terrell
It's a red flag.
Lexi
You said a red flag.
Terrell
Yeah. No, it's a red flag because the closure should have been closed before you came into this relationship.
Sheryl
Yeah.
Terrell
Why jump into a New relationship, like, with the ex for a reason. Have the closure.
Sheryl
Exactly. Which I got.
Terrell
Yeah.
Sheryl
One day.
Terrell
Unless y'all have kids. Yeah. Talking about y'all kids. That's why I said these people, baby, these people be jumping in before y'all.
Sheryl
We've grown. This is not, you know what they want.
Terrell
To quote, they want.
Lexi
I agree.
Sheryl
This ain't no Young and Restless.
Terrell
They want to make sure them legs weren't closed.
Sheryl
This ain't the Young and the Restless, y'all.
Lexi
You know, legs.
Sheryl
This ain't no soap opera.
Lexi
I mean, I just feel like if we gonna talk about it and if I caught them. Caught them.
Sheryl
What do you need? Like, you need. Like, what is closure? Like you're saying, well, it was nice knowing you and it was nice being with, like, what?
Lexi
That's a rant. I think when you. I. I believe in. In power. In silence myself. So if you gotta feel. If I caught you.
Sheryl
Yeah.
Lexi
I mean, if I caught you, I think it's. Again, we're very grown, but if I caught you texting your ex, what are we talking about? Let me see. And if you feel some kind of way about that, then now we have an issue. So it's a red flag.
Sheryl
Yeah. I don't like the red flag. Okay, next.
Lexi
That's sneaky.
Sheryl
What's each of your love languages?
Lexi
All of them.
Sheryl
No, they really trying to get to know y'all.
Lexi
All of them do them.
Terrell
All. My love love languages are physical touch.
Lexi
Yeah.
Sheryl
I like that.
Terrell
I like that. Acts of kindness.
Lexi
I like that, too. I like that, too. And words of affirmation. My other love languages are like, see me. Talk to me very much. Like, let observe me, you know? Yeah. Quality time. Time spent. I feel like time is so precious and the most valuable thing. So if you're spending time and you understand, like, oh, she likes to go. We like to go eat together or something. What is my favorite meal? If you know what. What gets me excited? Or like, museums. Just being observant and really tapping into who I am. That's my love language. Those are my love languages.
Sheryl
Okay. Okay. I would say I'm a little bit of everything. And sometimes some things more than others, you know, it just depends on how.
Terrell
You feeling that day.
Sheryl
Right, Right.
Lexi
Because mine has changed. Mine's changed. Like, it wasn't necessarily affection. Now it is like, I want to be touched. I want to be, you know, rubbed on. I want to be kissed on. So before, it used to not be like that. So mine have changed over time, too.
Terrell
Yeah.
Lexi
Okay.
Sheryl
Well, hopefully the People is paying attention because that's a very.
Lexi
Oh.
Terrell
It was personal.
Sheryl
Okay, last but not least. Well, this is the last and the least. I don't know. Anyway, what's the biggest ick someone can give on a first date? Yeah, that's that.
Lexi
To me, it would be name dropping.
Sheryl
Oh, yeah. That's a call.
Terrell
That too.
Lexi
I don't like that. You know, like you. You talking too much. I'm like, oh, go. That's an icky. Yeah, like the bragging. How to impress me and bragging or, you know. Yeah, we were just at such. And such is such as house. I'm like, so you can't.
Terrell
Got it.
Lexi
You don't know how to be in the moment. You know what I mean? So I don't know if I could bring you around some of my people either. So it's name dropping for me.
Terrell
Yeah, that's true. That's a good one.
Lexi
Yeah.
Sheryl
Both of those. Those are. Yeah, I would say that bragging, too. That would be a big ache for me. Yeah.
Terrell
Yeah, that's far enough.
Sheryl
Well, thank you all so much for sending in those questions. Y'all DM us with more questions and we would love to answer them. What we got next?
Terrell
We got get off your knees this or should you?
Lexi
Huh?
Terrell
Okay, we're going to talk about it. Get off your knees this or should you? Because social media is in shambles right now. We're seeing more and more women dropping down on one knee, great in hand, ready to wipe.
Lexi
Okay, I want to.
Sheryl
I want to restaurant the restaurant out the gutter.
Terrell
Look at Lex. Lexi is always in the gutter. Listen, the ladies are on their knees proposing. Some of these proposals are looking like fairy tales. Roses, fireworks, and the whole nine. But we gotta ask the real question. Is it giving empower women or is it giving. Desperate and tired of waiting.
Sheryl
Yeah, the last one. I don't like it.
Lexi
I mean, I'm pretty tired of waiting. Yeah, I don't either.
Sheryl
No. Being strong and doing what men do. You know what I'm saying? I'm here for that. But men are men for a reason, and women are women for a reason. And, you know, I just feel like. No, no. Why?
Terrell
That's embarrassing. There's no way I'm about to men. If. If you.
Sheryl
If your man want to be married and he don't propose to you, he don't want to be married, he don't want to marry you.
Terrell
He crying. The last one I saw, the man was crying and the woman was on her knees.
Lexi
Yeah. No, I'm not doing that. We gonna. We gonna have a. Definitely having a conversation.
Sheryl
Did he do this?
Lexi
Did he. We definitely have a conversation. I'm not. That's crazy. That's why. See, the visuals is. See, it's not. It's not even right. It's not even right, y'all.
Sheryl
Oh, my God.
Lexi
I don't know.
Sheryl
That's horrible.
Lexi
Sounds like since you're taking too long, let me go ahead. He might be getting on the knees is crazy, too.
Sheryl
Yeah.
Lexi
I just. I don't know, y'all. It's not for me.
Sheryl
You know who started it? Chrissy Lampkin. Ain't that her name? From Love and Hip Hop.
Terrell
Oh.
Lexi
Oh, she.
Terrell
Was it Joe Budden, Chris Christy?
Sheryl
Chris. What's her name?
Terrell
Was it Chrissy? Chrissy.
Lexi
Chrissy.
Sheryl
She did it on Love and Hip Hop.
Lexi
She did that on the show. That's great.
Sheryl
I feel like that's what got the girls going. They was like, okay, bitch, no, that ain't.
Terrell
That's embarrassing.
Lexi
I'm traditional. I want.
Sheryl
She was down for him. She was a writer. Like, she loved that man. You know what I mean?
Lexi
Yeah.
Terrell
I don't care how much I love you, baby. I'm not getting down on one knee and proposing to you and your big ass standing up there with your head out like this, crying.
Lexi
I will be like, baby, get up.
Sheryl
Yeah.
Lexi
Bring me up.
Sheryl
Yeah. I can't say. You know, I just feel like if your man don't propose to you, he don't want you, he don't want to marry you, he don't want to be married if he don't do it, it's not that deep. Like, if you want to be with a lady, y'all both want to be married, why would you not do it? Why would you want her to do it? That don't even make no sense.
Lexi
Yeah, that's. Yeah.
Terrell
Yeah.
Lexi
And why rush somebody into something they not ready for? Yeah. I wouldn't want to rush my mate either. This is something that I ready. I don't want it.
Terrell
And then you got a big crowd out there. You got a big crowd surrounding you. You know, this man ain't here to say no in front of this whole. Like, that's just. It's just embarrassing all around. And why the crowd allowing her to get her ass?
Sheryl
So, like, does the woman ask the man, daddy for his hand in marriage? Do they do that?
Lexi
I was thinking that, too, because I feel like that's even changed, too, over time.
Sheryl
Oh, people don't do that no more, traditionally.
Lexi
I mean, I don't know.
Sheryl
On tv, actually, we filmed my dad.
Terrell
He looked.
Sheryl
He had a better. But it would have never happened, period. But that's not supposed to be. Like, there's traditions and stuff for.
Lexi
I don't want to. And, yeah, I don't want to rush it.
Sheryl
Like things are supposed. Like, traditions are there for a reason. So when we start changing stuff around, it really throws stuff out of whack. Like, a lady is not supposed to be on her knee asking a man to marry. Like that don't make no sense.
Terrell
It's giving. What's on Friday? What was her name?
Sheryl
Felicia.
Terrell
No, not Flatula. Was it next Friday they date because they was dating the girl and the girl cousin, the big heavyset girl. She was running around the car with Dae D.
Lexi
Not off the top of my head.
Terrell
Heavy. Was it big D or heavy?
Lexi
Happy to. I don't know.
Terrell
I don't know. That's what it's given.
Lexi
She's like, I'm gonna go get this man. Lock him down. No, I don't want it. I feel like that energy of just starting off a marriage is a little tainted, you know, I feel like. What's that old saying? What's that saying? You rather have a single man that wants to be married than a married man that wants to be single? Something like that. So why rush if they're not ready for that? You know, it should be a conversation. It should be very much like, okay, we're going to do, like, let's do it. And then when it happens, it happens. You know, I. But I feel like, you know, it's about patience, too. Like, we getting impatient. So the ladies are dropping down to their knees. And that's crazy. The visuals out outrageous for me, because just even the man shouldn't want to even look down.
Sheryl
I want to be the. The ladies. The ladies want to be the men. Like, the roles are changing. I don't like that person. I don't like. I'm very traditional when it comes to stuff like this.
Terrell
Yes, I definitely. I don't believe in that. I don't think it should happen. Like a woman should be a woman and wait for that man.
Lexi
Yeah, Yeah, I agree.

Yeah. It's not, it's not, it's not giving.
Sheryl
Yeah.
Terrell

Sheryl
Yeah, don't do that. Don't do that.
Terrell
Don't let her.
Sheryl
Sure. Yeah, it's not a good. It's not a good.
Lexi
I will try to talk her off the ledge and be like, nah, let's not do it. Let's not. Let's not do it. And the group chat will definitely be lit. Cause we're like, yeah, y'all, I need some help.
Terrell
You Are the process.
Lexi
Yes. We need some help. We gotta.
Sheryl
That's what I'm saying. What y'all mama said about this? What your daddy said, well, how did you get to this? But, you know, like, what is the thought? I would love to talk to a lady who proposed to her husband because what was the thought process to led you?
Terrell
Like, I think that it was okay to even the thought of it.
Lexi
Yeah, I think it's more of an impatient thing, like, he just taking too long. Let me do it now.
Terrell
No, now that's. I would rather pressure you, baby. Are we getting what's going on?
Lexi
That's different.
Terrell
They're pressure you. Then me take my behind to a store, go get a ring and drop down on one knee and my big behind proposing to your big behind.
Sheryl
No, I would just skip the proposal and just wear my own little ring and be like, we engaged. You don't want to propose.
Lexi
That's different. That's different. Like the conversation. Like, look, the proper circumstance.
Terrell
We engaged.
Lexi
We together.
Terrell
Real bad.
Lexi
Go to the courthouse, knock this out real quick.
Terrell
What would y'all do, fans? Tell us, what would y'all do if we want to hear from the humble, humble daddies? Would y'all.
Lexi
Yeah, we need to hear it from y'all, woman.
Terrell
If she dropped down on one day and proposed for a whole big ceremony. We need to hear from the guys.
Sheryl
Yeah, I want to know.
Lexi
I'm curious.
Sheryl
I better be vocal. Like, y'all vocal about everything else we be talking about on this hip hop.
Lexi
I want to hear from the guys, and I want to hear if anybody in the chat, a female has proposed. And how did that work?
Terrell
Our humble baddies. Ain't none of our humble baddies in this chat proposed. They got. They got common sense over here.
Lexi
I know that's right.
Terrell
All right, y'all. Until then, what we got today? We got some humble baddies mail. We do.
Lexi
I have the humble baddies mail, y'all. All right. Y'all ready?
Terrell
Yeah.
Lexi
Okay. This is from Amber in Louisville, Kentucky.
Sheryl
Okay, Amber.
Lexi
Hey, Amber. Okay, baddies, buckle up. Oh, man. You know when it starts like that? So buckle up.
Terrell
Yeah.
Lexi
This must be because this situation is wild. Capital W, I L D. All right, he's been married. Oh, she's been married. So maybe she's talking about somebody else. Okay, she's been married for three years. And like any modern couple, she and her husband agreed to go 5050 on everything, including rent. For years, she's been faithfully handling over half of. Over her. Half of their $3000 of rent each month. So 1500 straight to him, assuming he was sending it to the landlord. But here's where it gets messy. While chatting with the neighbor, she casually found out something that made her stomach drop. The apartment she's been living in is owned by her husband's mother. Yep, his mom. Turns out the husband had been living there before they got married, and his mom was the landlord. So for three years, our girl's $1,500 has been going directly to her husband and his mama without her knowledge. That's $54,000 she unknowingly paid them, and now she's left questioning everything. Is this financial manipulation? A betrayal of trust? Was she scammed by her own husband, or was this just a shady omission? She moved out and hasn't spoken to him in two weeks. But here's her question to the baddies. What would you do if you found out your husband has been secretly pocketing your rent money for years with his mom in on it? Would you call it a rap, Demand the money back, try to talk it out? Or is this a major betrayal that can't be undone? Ladies, what do y'all think it was?
Terrell
Getting scammed. God. Leave.
Sheryl
Husband is crazy.
Terrell
That is crazy.
Sheryl
Yeah.
Terrell
I don't even think I would have allowed myself to get in that situation because I'm very. I felt like a detective, FBI. I would have known something was up. Pulling some records or something. Oh, that's a tough situation.
Sheryl
Yeah.
Lexi
I'm like.
Terrell
It's like, damn.
Sheryl
Well, yeah. I think first she probably went wrong by not knowing who owned the house that you living in your husband.
Lexi
But she was trusting him to pay the rent, and the rent's been getting paid all this time. So she's like, here's my house where.
Sheryl
You live, and you don't know who owned the house? You don't know who named the house? You don't know, like.
Terrell
Because a lot of times I do. I'll go on public search records and see what's around, see who own what around. And of course, it shows the names of everything. So that's how I'm.
Sheryl
It's not hard to find out this information, first of all. So that was the first part where she went wrong. So.
Terrell
I mean.
Sheryl
But now we're in it, so.
Lexi
Right.
Sheryl
I would say this would be some major trust issues for me. We would have to go to counseling. Like, I'm not saying, like, leave him. I think this is something we would definitely have to go to therapy about. I think we would have to really, like, lay out all our finances. I want to know where all the money at? You know, where's the one.
Lexi
Everything got to be shown.
Sheryl
Exactly. He said, wait.
Terrell
He said the mom owned it, but they both been pocket. The mom owned the house.
Lexi
The mom owned the house.
Terrell
Well, maybe it is. Maybe he has to pay the mom the full amount of money and they're splitting it 50. 50.
Sheryl
Either way. She don't know about it.
Lexi
She didn't know.
Terrell
Yeah.
Lexi
Financial abuse is real, and so is financial manipulation.
Terrell
Yeah.
Sheryl
So whatever the situation is, we gotta go to therapy. I don't trust you no more. You probably learned about something else.
Lexi
Exactly. Definitely an issue.
Sheryl
Yeah.
Terrell
If you hiding that, what else are you hiding?
Lexi
Correct. And that's a nice chunk, too.
Terrell
And that's where she's living and saying, hey, you know, this is my mom's house. We gotta. We can split it 50. 50.
Lexi
Yeah.
Terrell
Hiding it. So it's like, why are you hiding? We're married.
Sheryl
Yeah. But I wouldn't. I wouldn't call it a rap. I would try to get to the bottom of it with help. And if I felt like it was a salvageable situation where we could work through it, I would definitely do that. But that's crazy. But we have to be smart and also know resources.
Lexi
Yeah. You got to communicate that for sure. Now. That's heartbreaking to hear and to really to like, come to grips of that. You like, here, I'm giving this to you. And then he like, here, mama handle this. But it has to be conversation. I agree with you, Ashley. Definitely going to therapy and really hashing everything out. You know, just like, look, what else is going on? We need to have this conversation, because it's definitely. She didn't know. And that's a lot of money. That's a lot of money that she did not know about, that she's assuming is taking care of the household, that they're laying their heads down next to each other on the. You know, in the bed. So what else is going on? So, Amber, let your friend know, you know, this is not good.
Sheryl
But we.
Lexi
We say. Don't we say savage the. The marriage? Right. We agree on that.
Sheryl
Yeah. Salvation married.
Terrell
Yeah.
Sheryl
Always try. You know what I'm saying? I always give up because of.
Terrell
Maybe it's something that he's embarrassed. He was embarrassed to speak on. But talk about it and. Yeah, that's not a good.
Lexi
I like therapy. Lisa, go see. And if you can't get back to.
Sheryl
The mama need to be in on the therapy, too, though, because Girl, no, the mama.
Terrell
The mama ain't got nothing to do with it. Now, the mama ain't got nothing to do with it.
Lexi
She the landlord.
Terrell
But if she don't know the mama, the mama is a business. I ain't in y'all marriage. I ain't married this woman, and I ain't married to you. This is my house. I need y'all to pay me because at the end of the day, I still have to pay taxes. Every other mama is a businesswoman. So mama, she don't know.
Lexi
Does she even know? We don't know if she.
Terrell
If they've had this conversation, y'all figure it out. If y'all have my money before the sin. All right, Justin.
Sheryl
The mama, though. Oh, no. Every time I see her now.
Terrell
No. That husband need his behind. Whoop. Now, why does.
Sheryl
Yeah.
Lexi
Cause he's definitely not letting it be known. He could have 100%. Yo, my mama cutting us a deal. Whatever. Whatever. We gotta pay her back. I don't know. Whatever the case may be, it should definitely have been a conversation with your whole husband. Yep. They split and everything else.
Sheryl
Yeah.
Terrell
Yep.
Lexi
Yep.
Terrell
Okay.
Lexi
Well, ladies, that was our humble daddy's mail.
