Well after the dramatic first season of Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta, viewers were excited to see part 1 of the reunion! I know I was! Executive producer Mona Scott-Young was the host, as all of the cast members were reunited, some of which haven't been together since the season finished wrapping.

From the beginning, Mona and the ladies discussed how the show gets a lot of flack for stereotyping and embarrassing African-American women, with Mimi saying it just is that her story being televised. Mona doesn't think that this show represents all of us but just their stories. While I agree that the show technically doesn't represent all of us (I know I am not a Joseline or a Karlie!), it kind of does. When you have a certain image portrayed on television, people can think that that image is representative of an entire culture. For example, when I went to Australia for my semester abroad, many of the images that Australians sometimes see about Americans (especially college kids) are a lot of partying and other superficial things, which I had to clear up on several occasions. If it's all you see, it's all you will think. But I know that all African-American women don't act like this, so I can watch it for pure entertainment. But that's just me.



Mona asks all of the ladies questions from the public, starting with Karlie's age. She claims that she was born in 1985, which would make her the same age as K.Michelle which is about 26, 27. Karlie, girl, stop lying. You look good for about 35, 40, but there's no need to lie about your age! She doesn't look at all like 26! Another viewer asks if any of them have had any plastic surgery. K. Michelle admits that she got her teeth and breasts done, while Karlie did her breasts, and Joseline got the breasts and teeth as well. The other ladies say that they are all natural. Since we were on the topic of enhancements, Mona asks Joseline the oh-so-popular question if she was ever a man? Of course, Joseline says no, and Mona even says that she saw her privately taking her pregnancy test, and that she is a woman (though that hardly proves anything if there was reconstructive surgery). I used to say that Joseline was a man, but to be honest, I stopped caring. It's then revealed that Joseline has had quite the trouble with the law, being in jail more than 20 times (they even showed one of her ugly mugshots!).

The show switches focus over to Karlie Redd who stayed in everybody's business this season. She says that she tried to keep it real of course, by telling Mimi what was going on with Stevie J.She also reveals that she had a daughter, but she refuses to put her anywhere in the show. Karlie also addresses the drama over her saying that she was signed to Cash Money, but she isn't (which was cleared up by the label themselves)! Her manager is under them, or something like that, but she clearly said that she herself was signed. Which I didn't believe for a second anyway.

The drama heads to K. Michelle and Rasheeda, since Rasheeda still doesn't believe that Memphitz hit K. I still don't get how Rasheeda feels she knows that. Just because a man acts a certain way now, doesn't mean that he doesn't have a past. That goes for anyone honestly. The first fight almost breaks out between them, as things get a little heated. Rasheeda is escorted off stage to calm down.

Later, Stevie, Joseline, Erica, and Scrappy take the stage to discuss their fight. Stevie had called Erica a bxtch in an earlier, and he apologized. Then Joseline jumped in and set everything off! Scrappy said that his intention was to get Stevie to apologize, not to fight. Joseline knows that everything popped off because of her. While Scrappy also called Joseline a bxtch, that wasn't Joseline's problem. She claims that Erica got loud with her and that's what got things started. Momma Dee then joins the stage, and of course, has to stand up for her baby boy. She admits that she told Scrappy to go after Stevie because she felt that their "kingdom" was disrespected. Whatever.

Of course, the episode had to feature the Stevie/Mimi/Joseline love triangle. Stevie, Joseline, Mimi and Ariane hit the stage. Stevie says that he loves Mimi, but they're "working" on being in love again. He doesn't think that he's the marrying type, which we all can clearly see. Mimi wanted that happily ever after with him way in the back of her mind, whereas Joseline herself is only loving him for the sex and money (she said that out of her mouth!). Stevie then goes in on Ariane for dissing him throughout the season, but Ariane claims that she was the support system that Mimi needed. Mimi also clears up the fact that she was never with Stevie for the money, and that she's self-sufficient.

When Joseline got pregnant, Mona asks her if she was hurt that Stevie had doubts about his being the father. Stevie was harsh, but he also said that Joseline said she had sex with a baseball player. Deep down though, Stevie believed that that was his baby. Stevie made a suggestion to tell Joseline to have an abortion, but Joseline just didn't want to have a baby period. She herself made the decision to get back together, but Stevie and Mimi are still separated, but neither of them rule out getting back together. If Mimi gets back with this man....I'm flying down to Atlanta to personally hit her with a frying pan!

That was just the first part! Things get more heated on the second part of Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta The Reunion next Monday on VH1 at 8 p.m.!

Picking up from last week's episode of Hollywood Exes, Sheree and Nicole go out for breakfast and talk. They talk about Sheree's husband Terrell and Sheree is honestly okay with the time apart as she's in LA, and Terrell is in San Diego as a pastor. She doesn't want to go to San Diego full time, feeling like she will lose her identity. In LA, she's Sheree the independent businesswoman, and in San Diego, she's just the preacher's wife. She doesn't want that. Her life is in LA.                  

Meanwhile, Andrea goes over to Millennium to talk to the owner Robert about her master class and its low attendance. The turnout isn't what she's used to back in Chicago. She's new to the area, but she didn't expect it to be this difficult to get people coming. Robert advises her to have a showcase to introduce herself as a choreographer. Andrea wants it to be a benefit to make a difference as well.

Later, Mayte and Jessica meet up to talk about the argument. Jessica feels bad that Mayte was so upset, and she knows that she touched lightly on the subject of her abortion. She realizes that she needs to be careful when she talks about it (and everything else in general) . Mayte apologizes for the glass throwing too. Jessica opens up more about her back alley abortion, and that it made her have issues with carrying as well, which Mayte didn't know. They connect more from that, because they both know what it means to lose a child. The conversation went well. Friends fight, but they eventually kiss and make up. That's what adults do.


Nicole is busy trying to get her clothing line, Open Hours, off the ground. The line gives buyers clothes that are comfortable but still looks good for traveling. Nicole is presenting the fashion line to potential buyers, and goes to meet with her business partner Jamie. She was thinking that everything was going to be done, but it wasn't. The clothes weren't finished, and a model was even too short for her outfit! Nicole is freaking out because things HAVE to be on point for this gathering.

Later, Jessica and Andrea go out for dinner. Andrea plans to recruit all of the ladies to work at her benefit which will raise money for her foundation, the 12th Round Foundation. The foundation itself focuses on domestic violence. It turns out that Andrea herself was in an abusive relationship. At a young age, domestic violence was normal to her, and that gave her a screwed up view of love. When she was an adult, she still stuck with that, and thought that it was how you showed love. Now she can talk about it as a survivor, and the benefit will be a great way to showcase her choreography as well as the foundation.

The next day, Mayte meets with her manager who threw her name in the hat for a dancing competition film. Her potential role is going to be set in Germany, where interestingly enough is where she met Prince! Later, Andrea is auditioning dancers for her showcase, and asks Mayte to help her. Some of the dancers are great and work well for the cabaret, which better be amazing if Miss Drea wants people coming to her master class!

Meanwhile, Sheree meets with executives from Fred Segal to promote Whoop Ash. She pulls out the product to get the president's opinion. He believes that the product works nicely, but is taken aback by the name. He is looking for another elegant name that will go along with the brand, but will also expand markets. Whoop Ash (with the name itself) honestly sounds like it belongs only in CVS and your local beauty supply, so changing the name may be something to think about. I mean, can you really see Fred Segal promoting a product called Whoop Ash?! Ha!

Later, Andrea meets up with her assistant Tony, and other members who are working on her benefit. Andrea's project manager gives a venue that is really small and won't fit all of her dancers and attendees. Right now, she is out of a venue. This show is going to determine how her career at Millennium and her dance company is going to go. She does not want to have to go back to Chicago with her tail in between her legs like she couldn't make it there. They have to get a venue...like yesterday! Meanwhile, Mayte practices for her audition and reads it out loud with her mom. Nelly tried to read, but her acting skills are a MESS. So overdramatic, Mayte thinks she belongs in a telanovela!

That night was the night of Nicole's big presentation for her clothes. She gets there, and absolutely NOTHING is set up! Her business manager is late, the clothes are missing, there's no music, nothing. Jessica comes in, and Nicole is completely bugging out. Jessica and Sheree help set up with drinks, so the partygoers will be a little more patient. The fact that your guests had to help set up is sad. Though Nicole is visibly upset, she tries to keep her calm. Eventually the models step out in the clothes, and people's reactions make her feel a lot better. Everyone loves it! She shops it as comfort and cuteness on travel, and a buyer wants to set up a meeting. Nicole's daughter Bria even comes out to support! Though it was completely chaotic, the whole event was worth it.

Next week is the SEASON FINALE of Hollywood Exes! Be sure to check it out next Wednesday at 9 p.m. on VH1!

Can't believe it's already the season finale of Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta! It's been a crazy adventure to watch, hasn't it?! To start the episode from last week, Scrappy goes over to Erica's new house. Instead of trying to be back in a relationship, Erica just wants them to be cool and focus on raising their daughter. She doesn't believe him about Shay just being a friend, and feels like they have a lot of the same problems, and are better off apart. Scrappy understands that it's probably for the best.  

Meanwhile, Karlie goes to see Roscoe Dash to see about doing a song together, and they flirt a lot. He asks her is she seeing anybody, and she explains that her situation is complicated. She obviously wants to keep her options open. 

Later, Dr. Jeff meets with both Mimi and Joseline again, and Stevie shows up as well. Dr. Jeff is honest with the ladies and tells them that Stevie is never going to change. However, Joseline is perfectly happy with Stevie the way he is. While Mimi is seriously trying to be in a relationship with this dude, Joseline doesn't care if he has sex with other women or whatever, as long as he takes care of her. Stevie himself claims to be running things, with both of them "riding his bus" apparently. He even had the nerve to walk up in there with an "I Am God" t-shirt, and basically says that he made them both (implying that he can break them too).


Mimi goes to meet with Ariane after to talk about the session. She's now really looking at herself like why in the world is she still in this unhealthy relationship. She refuses to wait on Stevie and wants to focus on her cleaning business. Ariane's just glad she finally saw the light!

At the studio, Scrappy talks to Shay about his conversation with Erica. He tells her that he thought about getting back with her, but then when it didn't happen, now he wants to come running back to Shay. Of course, she's hurt because she feels like he's playing with her emotions. If you're going to be with her, be with her, but don't string her along and have her as a back up to your star player (*side eye to a former friend of mine*).

At Benzino's office, Scrappy goes to talk to him about his possible proposal to Karlie. Benzino is having trust issues with her, because he's been hearing stuff around that she's been going around on dates with other men. He has the ring ready but he's not sure about taking that step. Later, Stevie and Joseline go to talk. Joseline wants to only be business partners (sure) and move on with her career. Because she's Joseline Hernandez baby, she'll be a star, in her mind, with or without him.

Later, K Michelle and Erica go furniture shopping for Erica's new house. Apparently Erica is moving on from Scrappy with her realtor! K mentions her disagreement with Rasheeda about the abuse she suffered, and is clearly upset. Erica advises her to have a mature conversation with Rasheeda about it.

In the studio, Stevie is working with another artist, Che Mack, and brings Joseline down. He wants her to work with Che Mack but Joseline would rather work on her own things. Joseline is obviously upset about him working with other female artists. She KNOWS that he will do the same things with them that he did with her, yet she continues to hold on to him.

K. Michelle goes to talk to Rasheeda, and tries to get her to see where she is coming from. K claims that her story has never changed, but Memphitz tells different stories when asked about the abuse. K wants to let it all out because she's so hurt behind it BUT it's time for her to STOP TALKING ABOUT IT ALL THE TIME!!!! Even now, there is a new story every week about her and her abuse. While I understand that she's hurt, and she feels the need to let it all out now, she needs to be looking at her career. Though I think something did happen, she's making herself look crazy to readers, viewers, media, record executives, etc. I liked her before the show, and she's really talented, but the drama is overshadowing that right now. I say, go see a therapist for extensive sessions and work through it.

Benzino has plans to propose to Karlie. Karlie is confused with him right now because they haven't been talking like they used to. Benzino tells her that he sincerely loves and cares for her, but Karlie doubts it. Benzino pops out the ring, but all of a sudden he takes it back. He ends it because he couldn't take Karlie having doubts about their relationship, though he had doubts as well.

Stevie goes over to Mimi's client's house where she is working to talk to her. He apologizes for his actions, but Mimi knows that she is partly to blame for holding on and accepting what he does. Things don't ever get better in their relationship, no matter what he says. She blatantly says that she does not want to be in a relationship with him anymore. While Stevie claims to have given her everything she has, she ends it all and they part ways.

At the end of the episode, we see all of the stars' growth (or lack thereof) and resolution to the first season of Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta. Rasheeda has her vow renewal ceremony with Kirk, which was a beautiful moment for them and their family. Karlie is seen in the studio with Roscoe Dash, recording and flirting (could it be a new relationship?). K. Michelle is also working on her career, and declares herself to be a "work in progress." Erica, meanwhile, is settling into her new life without Scrappy, and possibly might be looking for another man. Scrappy is not trying to be tied down to anybody right now, but plans on being a good father to Emani. Joseline, who swears up and down that she is a superstar, is doing concerts and continuing her plans to make it big. Meanwhile, Stevie is the same old player taking advantage of girls who want record deals. Mimi is good being with just herself and her daughter, and is moving on from Stevie.

Now next week is Part 1 of the LHHATL reunion. Unfortunately, VH1 didn't have a preview right after the episode so I haven't seen it yet, but I know that it's sure to be a ratchet and ridiculous (shout out to Tamar Braxton) good time!!! Check it out next Monday at 8 p.m. only on VH1!

Another episode of Hollywood Exes!  , everything is really tense. Sheree and Andrea go shopping and discuss the situation. Mayte is still upset because she feels like her pain of losing her two children was minimized. Of course the two take Mayte's side and believe that Jessica is all over the place. They both feel like she was insincere in her apology and that's she insecure within herself.

That night, Jessica and Nicole go out to dinner. They both feel like the fight was over the top and inappropriate. Nicole feels like that was a conversation that should have been held between just the two. Jessica sent her texts to try to reach out when she realized that she was upset, and Mayte never responded. The appropriate thing would to have had a conversation like Jessica and Sheree had. Mayte herself crossed the line when she threw the glass. I believe that Mayte has a point in her feelings, but she needed to speak calmly and rationally about it. While Jessica didn't need to push her and call her crazy, Mayte has pain that she needs to work through because it's affecting relationships now with those around her.


The next day, Sheree talks to her manufacturer about her product, Whoop Ash. The sample she received is very inconsistent with what she wanted, and now she literally has no product to show. If it can't be reproduced, she knows that she'll have to go someplace else.

Meanwhile, Nicole goes over to Mayte's house to find out what's really going on with her. Nicole is honest with her and says that she didn't like Mayte's response. She tells her that she and Jessica need to have a heart to heart about it, but Mayte is done with the situation. She doesn't plan on apologizing for her actions. She doesn't think that they need to talk about it at all, and is happy to just sweep it under the rug. But then their friendship will honestly become more of a acquaintanceship. You can't truly be friends with someone you have grudges and unresolved problems with.

Later, Nicole meets with Camille Flawless who just did a photoshoot with Nicole for her clothing line. Nicole is nervous about how the pictures came out, but she shouldn't be because she's FREAKING GORGEOUS! The pictures are all beautiful. The hardest part is going to be picking a picture for the billboard and Camille's online website. Camille also tells Nicole that the ad will be featured in Vogue Magazine.

Sheree and Jessica meet and Sheree tries to get her to take responsibility for her role in the fight with Mayte. She belives that because Mayte wouldn't accept the apology, Jessica went into defense mode. Sheree wants them to get past it, but Jessica doesn't want to talk about it. In fact, Jessica doesn't even want to sit in the room with her. Sheree challenges her to try to connect to Mayte's pain, and reach out to her. Somebody does have to be the bigger person.

Later, Andrea and Percy go out on a date. She wants to take it slow, but Percy is obviously more on a fast pace. Andrea is glad that Percy came to her, because she was only moving to LA to start her dance company, not to find someone. Percy thinks that maybe they should be together, but Andrea is scared because she doesn't want to be vulnerable again. She doesn't know if they are ready for that type of commitment. I say she should go for it, but the fear is something that she will have to get past.

Later, Sheree meets with Mayte to see where her head is with the fight. Lo and behold at dinner, the ladies get a text from Jessica inviting them all to a polo match. Mayte thinks it was an accident that Jessica sent the group text from her. When Sheree text Jessica to ask if it was intentional, she said of course, which shocks Mayte. Mayte wants to just let it go. However, she realizes that she has anger issues, and thinks maybe she wants to go to therapy. She doesn't know if she'll be at the polo match though.

The next day, Jessica and Nicole go to Vegas to check out the billboard and see the photo that Camille chose. They go on a hunt for the billboard. Jessica sees it first, and then Nicole turns around and sees how AMAZING she looks! They cheers to it with champagne. I mean, come on, Nicole's 44, and has FIVE kids, and her body is SICK (if you saw the pictures, you understand the caps!). Now, Nicole thinks that she could really return to modeling, though I don't know why she ever though she couldn't!

Later, Mayte chooses to go to a therapist and try to work on the issues she has. She admits that it's hard being around the other ladies when they have their children, and then Jessica talking about her abortion was even harder. It's emotional for Mayte because she stuffed her feelings down for so long, and now it turns to anger and rage. The therapist tells her that she is a mom who lost her child. In a way, it makes her happy because she's never heard that she's a mom. I guess she felt that she wasn't a mom because she lost her kids. It's a bittersweet feeling, but maybe now Mayte will be able to heal. It's not a situation to get over, and she will never be over it, but maybe she will find some peace with it.

At the polo match, Jessica and Nicole are chilling, when Andrea AND Mayte comes. Of course, Jessica is shocked because she didn't hear that Mayte was coming. While watching the polo match, the conversation switches to Percy and Andrea, and she's feeling a little suffocated. She wants to date and explore first, especially since she got out of a marriage not too long ago. The ladies all tell her that she needs to break the news to Percy. At halftime, they go out to the field to stomp divots. After the tradition, Jessica pulled Mayte aside to talk. Jessica is sad about the situation, but feels like Mayte should have reached out to her and that there are bigger issues than this. They need to sit down and have a private conversation at a later date that's more appropriate. Mayte just wants her to really apologize without a rebuttal. It's still unsure if they will fix things. I hope so. I would hate for a friendship to be ruined because of this.

Check out the next episode of Hollywood Exes on Wednesday at 9 p.m. ET only on VH1!

7:53:00 AM

Another episode of Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta! Picking up from last week's DRAMATIC ending, at Dr. Jeff's office, it's obvious that Joseline and Mimi are both getting played STILL. Mimi wants Joseline's side of the story. Joseline claims to Dr. Jeff that she didn't know that Stevie was trying to make things work with Mimi. She says she needs to let it go, but we all know she won't. Dr. Jeff believes it's because she never really had a family and Stevie is giving her that "love" and "support" that she never had. That's why she continually goes back to him.

Meanwhile, Erica meets up with Scrappy in the park after finding out that he brought Shay to his mixtape release party. Scrappy claims that they're just friends, and he's never slept together. The way I see it, Erica, you and Scrappy are done. I know you still have feelings for him, and he's your baby's father, but that doesn't mean you need to be with him or worry about who he's messing with. However, she claims that Scrappy still texts her that he loves her. She worries that Imani sees his pattern of going from girl to girl and might be negatively affected by it, and breaks down. He "wants them to move forward," but what does that really mean?



Later, Joseline goes to Benzino's to look for Stevie. She tells Benzino about the whole situation. Benzino doesn't see Joseline moving on at all, and admits that Stevie cares about both Joseline and Mimi. Joseline wants to sit down with both him and Mimi in therapy again.

When Scrappy tells Momma Dee about his conversation with Erica and about their plan to get back together, she is NOT feeling it. She feels like Erica "left him for dead" during his asthma attack, and isn't the right fit for her. Meanwhile, Erica and Rasheeda go shopping, and vent about the men in their life. Erica thinks that they are holding on to something that isn't going to work out. Rasheeda herself is stressing about her situation with Kirk and her meeting with Deb. Erica tells her to pick a nice piece of lingerie and have a romantic night with her husband.

Meanwhile, Benzino and Karlie go out for drinks. They talk about the photoshoot and Vince. Benzino feels like everything revolves around her and her career, and maybe not their relationship. She feels like he wants her to just stay home, but he just doesn't want to talk about her career and the music industry all the time.

Later, it's revealed that Karlie and Joseline have been hanging out a lot, and they go rock climbing together. Joseline tells her about snapping off on Stevie, but she wants to go back to therapy to get the full story about him and Mimi. Karlie has been gone from Benzino's house, because to her, he's been acting crazy. Her managers are still telling her not to mess with Karlie.

That night, Rasheeda and Kirk go out to a romantic dinner. She has decided not to work with Deb, which is stupid. Deb will definitely take her career to the next level, but she doesn't want to hurt Kirk. Since she made this decision, I don't want to hear any more complaints from her if Kirk doesn't do something as her management again. I think it's possible that this might have a negative effect on her marriage as well, but hey, it's her life. She has also been thinking about renewing their vows in a small ceremony with the kids and close family and friends, which will be nice for them.

Benzino and Stevie go to the strip club for a couple of drinks just to kick it. They talk about the therapy session. Stevie wants them both, and it doesn't work that way. Benzino also talks about his being upset because he feels like Karlie only talks about her career. Later, Benzino goes to see Mimi at the car wash because he doesn't want any bad blood between them. He wants her, Stevie, and Joseline to come to some type of common ground. Benzino downplays the fact that Stevie cheated, saying that Mimi and Stevie have known each other for 15 years, and that one woman is not bad. He even calls her Joseline! The whole conversation is a bust. I would have walked out of there even angrier than before!

Meanwhile, Rasheeda and Erica go to a performance by K Michelle for Save Our Daughters. K Michelle plans to talk about her experience with domestic violence. Rasheeda wants her to grow, but Memphitz is married to her close friend Toya (of course, names are never mentioned on the show, but we ALL know by now who it is). Memphitz claims it didn't happen, and it was years ago. At K's performance, she is dressed in a wedding gown, and talks about her experience with Memphitz. She had dreams of walking down the aisle with a man that she loved, but of course, things changed. I know that she's going through the healing process, but she needs to stop talking about it so much in interviews. Memphitz may never apologize (though he should), and I feel like she needs to be worried about her career and future other than just Memphitz.

Karlie talks with Benzino about his anger, but he just feels like their conversation is limited to just her career. He knows that he has a temper problem, but Karlie wonders what the solution is. Benzino says that Karlie's career is taking up both lanes, and the love is a two-way street. Then it comes out that Karlie worked with someone that her mother wanted her to hook up with, and his jealousy comes out.

The next day, Rasheeda and K meet up to talk about her performance. Of course, Rasheeda feels uncomfortable about the situation because she is close friends with Toya and Memphitz. Memphitz did send a tweet to K saying that he basically made her, and she feels like he should at least apologize. Rasheeda had the nerve to say that maybe it didn't actually happen. K feels like she still has to deal with it, and who is Rasheeda to say that it didn't happen?! She angrily walks away from her.

The season finale of Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta is next Monday at 8 p.m. ET on VH1! And it's sure to be filled with more drama and ratchetness, so stay tuned!

6:49:00 PM

Picking up from last week's dramatic episode of Hollywood Exes, Andrea and Percy go on a date and she tells him about the fight between Jessica and Sheree. Jessica says things without a filter, and Andrea wonders at what point is it just too much? Jessica needs to watch what she says to people. The conversation switches over to their own relationship, and how great it's going. They really like each other, and they make a cute couple.

Meanwhile, Jessica meets up for lunch with Sheree to clear the air. Of course, Jessica is upset about the abortion being thrown in her face, but she also apologizes for flaring up at her. It seems like even though there is a scar on their relationship, they have made up. Every friendship has a blowup, but as long as you fix it, that's what matters most. However, then Jessica brings up that most of the Bible is fake, and gets passages all mixed up, which puts an awkward place on the conversation.


Later, Nicole and her realtor friend Bob go to check out a house in Bel Air, which is definitely a fixer-upper, but it has potential. The view is incredible, which wins Nicole over, and she plans to put in an offer on the house.

Mayte goes to a fertility clinic to discuss freezing her eggs. She really wants a baby, and wants to know her options. After some tough questions about her previous pregnancies, Mayte learns about options to actually grow the number of eggs she produces through injections and medications. She would maybe have a 40-50%+ chance to become pregnant, but the only thing is that women over 35 don't have a great chance.

Nicole goes to get her eyebrows done at Jessica's cosmetic business. Bob calls her, and the sellers for the Bel Air house have accepted her offer! It's a huge burden off of Nicole's shoulders, though she is definitely going to have to work on that house.

At dinner, Mayte talks to Sheree and Drea about her disappointing fertility appointment. It's of course emotional for her. Drea switches the conversation to the fight in Palm Springs and joke about how Sheree might be a preacher's wife, but she ain't no punk! Sheree mentions that she and Jessica did kind of work things out. However, she's not totally over it. Mayte is hurt as well over the abortion. It, of course, hit her hard, because it seemed like it was nothing to Jessica to get one.  When Sheree explained it, I understood it better. Jessica said it nonchalantly around Mayte, who so desperately wants a child, so of course it would be upsetting to have to hear.

Jessica takes Josie for a walk on the beach to tell her something important. She tells Josie about her abortion back in high school, and believes that the experience was a learning one for her. She doesn't want Josie to make the same mistakes in her own life.

All the ladies go to dinner, which is a little awkward, because things haven't been settled completely with Jessica. Mayte wastes no time addressing the "elephant in the room," with Jessica telling everyone about the abortion so nonchalantly. Jessica apologizes but tells her that she should have mentioned it to her. Though Mayte is not against abortion, which Jessica finds "interesting." Mayte snaps when Jessica calls her crazy. When Jessica tells her to calm down, Mayte slams down her glass on the table, and yells at Jessica, before Andrea pulls her away.

Nicole thinks it's unfair that Mayte lashed out at Jessica, but Drea and Sheree of course, take Mayte's side. I feel like it was unfair as well, because Jessica apologized to Mayte and tried to reach out to her before the dinner twice. Mayte ignored her. I understand that Mayte is upset, but she shouldn't have gone off like that.

Last night's Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta was PURE DRAMA!!! (But then again, when is it not?) Picking up from last week's episode,  Mimi and Stevie go to the park with their daughter after their therapy session for some family time. At the therapy session, Stevie made a lot of promises, but obviously he has to build his trust back up with Mimi. She doesn't believe that he and Joseline are going to continue strictly a business relationship. Stevie wants to go to therapy with Joseline to work things out, which Mimi can't believe.

Meanwhile, Karlie meets up with Joseline to "clear the air" before they work in the studio. Joseline doesn't want to work with Stevie anymore, and therefore doesn't want to do a song with Karlie. Karlie tells her that she is messing with Benzino, and Joseline just tells her that she should be good to him. She wants to see if they can maybe move forward.

The episode switches over to Scrappy is in the studio with Shay, when Rasheeda walks in to listen to a track she is supposed to collaborate with Scrappy on. When Shay leaves, Rasheeda asks Scrappy what's going on with them, and he tells her that they're just friends for right now.  Rasheeda talked to Erica, who was very hurt that she and Scrappy broke up. Rasheeda also keeps it real and tells him that he can't be walking in and out of Erica's life. However, Scrappy states that he is completely over their relationship.


The next day, Karlie has a feature with Hip Hop Weekly (which Benzino runs) and does a photoshoot, courtesy of Benzino. He asks her to straighten things out with her management, and she promises she will, calling him the "pieces to her puzzle." She even gets him a chain with a puzzle piece, and has her own as well. The puzzle pieces connect, just like a BFF chain. Cheesy, but cute.

That night, Rasheeda goes to perform her new song with Scrappy. K. Michelle, Mimi, and Ariane meet up with her to see her perform. Before the show, Rasheeda tells them about Scrappy talking to Shay. Rasheeda hasn't told Erica. However, when Shay appears out of NOWHERE to say hello to Rasheeda, K thinks that it's only right to tell her the truth.

The next day, Mimi takes a ride with Ariane and talks about the therapy session, which of course, Ariane's against. Mimi also reveals that Stevie wants Joseline in the next session for Mimi to "be comfortable with Joseline," However, it's obvious that Joseline isn't going to stop messing with him. However, Mimi wants her there because she wants EVERYTHING out in the open. On the inside, though, Mimi wants them to work things out, especially since that have a daughter together.

Later, K. Michelle meets Erica for drinks to tell her about Scrappy messing with Shay. Erica is speechless, but then realizes that that's how he is. He always has to find a girl to be around. Erica gets teary-eyed when thinking about her daughter who always questions her father not always being around. It's clear that she is also upset about this new girl walking in not long after she and Scrappy broke up.

Meanwhile, Mimi goes to spread her mother's ashes across the water with Ariane and her brother, which was her mother's final wish. Though Mimi didn't have the best relationship with her, she wanted to honor her. It's an emotional moment for Mimi, but she realized that if she didn't forgive her, she would be a resentful and hating person. It was a beautiful moment to see. In the meantime, Benzino plans to get Karlie some jewels to show her some love, and ends up finding a ring. Will he propose? This early?

Kirk and Rasheeda go to meet with Deb Atney, potentially Rasheeda's new management. Deb believes that it's his management that is the common denominator in Rasheeda's failure as an artist. Of course, Kirk takes offense, but Rasheeda lays out the truth that there needs to be some growth in her career. Deb, however, wants to move forward without Kirk. In the car after the meeting, he felt like she didn't acknowledge the good that he's done, with Rasheeda insisting that she wants to go to another level with Deb. She wants him to support her decision, which is hard for Kirk to accept.

At Benzino's, Stevie goes over to shoot pool and tells him of his plan to go to counseling with both Mimi and Joseline, of course, confusing Benzino. Benzino knows that to Stevie, he doesn't care about the two of them being there together, but the women are looking at it like which one will he choose? Stevie apparently wants to "be a team," whatever that means. The conversation switches over to Karlie, with Benzino thinking he might propose. There definitely has to be some time lapses in this shooting. Week one of their relationship, they're sleeping together. Week two, Karlie gets a key, and then week three, they might get engaged?! This relationship is definitely on the fast track!

The next day at the therapy session with Dr. Jeff, Stevie is definitely trying to work things out with Mimi, while she, of course is skeptical. They acknowledge the changes in communication that they have made, when Joseline walks in, even she doesn't get why she's there. When Stevie dabs Joseline's sweat on her nose, Mimi is upset and Dr. Jeff calls him out on it. Though Stevie sees it as nothing, it's obvious that he still has feelings for Mimi to be doing all of this. When Mimi informs Joseline that she's still staying in the house, Joseline proceeds to beat on him (because apparently she went to see him two days before the session)! As Joseline jacks him up, Mimi sits on the sideline, trying not to get hit, but laughing on the inside. Stevie walks away from the session, while security has to keep Joseline calm!!! Definitely an explosive ending to the episode!

Another episode of Hollywood Exes! From what I'm hearing, a lot of people are enjoying the classiness of the women on the show. It's funny with a little drama, but not to the extent of other VH1 shows. Picking up from last week, Sheree takes Nicole and Jessica to Beach Bunny for swimsuits and surprises them with a girls' getaway in Palm Springs for some more down time with all of the ladies together.

The ladies ride out to Palm Springs and their guest house is gorgeous! The house is the old estate of Bing Crosby, and may have even been where Marilyn Monroe and JFK had a rendezvous! Allegedly though. Early on in the trip, Jessica finds a cockroach and saves it, as she doesn't believe in killing living things. May sound insignificant, but this is a spark that lights the season's first huge drama.



Sheree announces that dinner will be at Circa 59 and talks about ordering meat, which starts a debate with Jessica who is a vegetarian. Jessica says that Sheree is hypocritical and that the Bible says not to kill things before their time, causing Sheree to storm off. At dinner, there is still tension between the two. Sheree slips and doesn't pray over her bread. The conversation stems off into humor, but then flips back to a fight when Nicole orders pate. However, Jessica eats crab cakes, which comes from a living thing, so it was thought to be hypocritical of her. However, she says crustaceans don't have feelings, and continues smacking on her crab cake.

The next day, Andrea, Sheree, and Mayte go shopping at a designer vintage store. Jessica and Nicole stay behind to chill at the pool and have drinks. To prove a point, Mayte has a plan to get live lobsters for dinner. Meanwhile Jessica is drinking and dancing and dancing and drinking. She and Nicole are partying and having a good time. The other ladies sneak the lobsters in the tub, and see Jessica passed out drunk.

While dinner is being made, Andrea brings up Percy, and thinks that he's a good fit. Some kind of way the conversation switches to Drea's actual wedding with R. Kelly. Apparently, he set up the whole wedding for them, just them in Colorado. She knows that not everything about their relationship was bad.

Before dinner, Mayte reveals her plan to prove a point to Jessica. Jessica later joins them on the patio, and Mayte tells her that they are having lobster for dinner.. It upsets Jessica, but  the other girls debate that there is a hierarchy in life. Apparently, off camera, Jessica had recently told the girls that she had an abortion, and Andrea brings up that that wasn't humane. Sheree opens her mouth to join in the conversation, and Jessica tells her not to say anything when she drinks alcohol off camera. People think it's crazy that she saved a cockroach, but could abort her baby. I understand what they are saying, but I think that that is really wrong of them to bring that up to push in her face. An abortion is a personal decision, and while I don't necessarily agree with it, I do think that a woman has a right to choose. That was Jessica's decision, and she shouldn't be judged or looked down on it.

To Jessica, Sheree went too far and she refuses to forgive her. The fight makes for a very awkward dinner. Sheree thinks that she's being very childish and unreasonable. Jessica throws little jabs at her, and eventually walks away, with everyone else irritated at her. Yes, Jessica is a wild child, but she didn't deserved to be jumped on like that. I'd be pissed too.
