00:00:00Previously, on Love After Lockup...
00:00:02I could be able to make it home sooner.
00:00:04Really, we're on top of things now.
00:00:06Oh, my God! My husband's getting together!
00:00:09Keith and I have been married for two years.
00:00:11The law changed, so he qualifies.
00:00:14They haven't been together outside of him being locked up.
00:00:18I just want my daddy to go home right now.
00:00:22The problem is, we've been doing opiates
00:00:24for two and a half decades.
00:00:26Joey proposed to me on a present visit.
00:00:29Is he gonna change up once he gets out?
00:00:30He started a program while he was in there.
00:00:32But being in an actual treatment program
00:00:33was for active users.
00:00:35A message from Keith said that you're a piece to your wife
00:00:38and give her a hug.
00:00:39Are you with somebody else?
00:00:41No.
00:00:42I definitely love Arthur.
00:00:44The way he talks, the way he looks.
00:00:46I feel like I'm gonna be with Hope for the rest of my life,
00:00:48but I don't trust her right now.
00:00:49I hope you got your animals in their cage,
00:00:51because if they come out, it's gonna be an issue.
00:00:53Hope, I don't trust her to be faithful.
00:00:54I will!
00:00:57Why does he have to stay here
00:00:58since you've been paying for everything
00:00:59since he's been in jail?
00:01:00You feel like you owe her something, but you don't.
00:01:02I've worked so hard for this relationship.
00:01:04I'm sorry if I let you down.
00:01:05And I'm not gonna let his mom mess it up.
00:01:08I'm so nervous. Why?
00:01:09It's overwhelming to get out of prison.
00:01:11I know. There certainly is an element
00:01:13of good boy, bad girl here.
00:01:16I'm like the only person he's ever been with
00:01:17besides his ex-wife.
00:01:19Hey, babe.
00:01:21I've been waiting for this moment
00:01:23since the moment I fell in love with him.
00:01:24I'm going to jump your bones, sir.
00:01:27Welcome home, champ.
00:01:29Me and True's been engaged for a year and a half months.
00:01:31I'm nervous, because this is my first time seeing him.
00:01:33It's been 13 years.
00:01:34I already had some sex.
00:01:36Oh, my God.
00:01:37This man got me in a sex shop.
00:01:41Wake up this morning, he just gone.
00:01:44Troy and I have been married for three years.
00:01:46Ready for your best friend to love all over you?
00:01:48I sure am.
00:01:50We never had sex.
00:01:51But if it's little.
00:01:52He gets out in an hour and a half,
00:01:54and I don't want to be late.
00:01:55I just got a message from Troy's parole officer.
00:01:58You can pick him up from the parole office.
00:02:00Don't let this man just pick me up.
00:02:01I don't know where he needs to go.
00:02:03There's definitely something going on.
00:02:06What the f***?
00:02:07It's crazy.
00:02:17Why are we waiting?
00:02:18Like, he should have been out by now.
00:02:19How long has he been in there?
00:02:20Now it's over 30 minutes.
00:02:26This man just did seven years in prison.
00:02:29Yeah.
00:02:30He did his time.
00:02:31He paid his time, yeah.
00:02:32He did what he was supposed to do.
00:02:36We're still waiting.
00:02:38Wow.
00:02:41Ah!
00:02:43Oh, my God!
00:02:43Oh, my God!
00:02:45There he is!
00:02:46Woo!
00:02:47Oh, wow!
00:02:49Yeah!
00:02:51That's what answer prayer look like.
00:02:54My man!
00:02:57You're really a husband now.
00:02:58You're a husband.
00:03:00You're finally home.
00:03:02Yeah.
00:03:03You excited?
00:03:03I'm so real.
00:03:04I'm overly excited.
00:03:06Today's a new start in the universe, and it's just...
00:03:14I'm just excited to be home, man, for real.
00:03:17Like, I'm definitely grateful for my freedom.
00:03:20Just the breath of fresh air, like, for real.
00:03:23It's not jail no more.
00:03:25Man, man, I'm really free, baby.
00:03:27Yeah.
00:03:28Look at you two.
00:03:29Oh!
00:03:32We've been waiting for this for so long.
00:03:36It just doesn't feel like you're home.
00:03:38Like, even though you're standing here, it don't feel like...
00:03:41It don't feel real now?
00:03:42No, it doesn't.
00:03:45Today is the start of our new journey, our new life.
00:03:48We've been married three years, but today's the first day
00:03:51that we've been out in the free world as a married couple.
00:03:55And I just...
00:03:56I'm just so happy that he's home.
00:03:58I just feel so much better.
00:04:00So you got the ankle bracelet on now?
00:04:04Oh, wow.
00:04:05Damn.
00:04:06What's going on, boy?
00:04:06It's mad big.
00:04:07How long you on paper with them, they say?
00:04:09Two and a half years, if I do it good.
00:04:15There was a lack of communication somehow, some way,
00:04:18and my PO, he needed to pick me up
00:04:22to make sure that he put this ankle monitor on me
00:04:25so we wouldn't get no detours in the midst of it.
00:04:29I felt like I was never gonna leave.
00:04:31You know, that's a scary feeling.
00:04:33This does not feel real.
00:04:35It's real, babe.
00:04:37You're home.
00:04:39Look, anxiety as soon as I see a police car.
00:04:43That's trauma.
00:04:44I've spent seven years in prison.
00:04:47I was in prison for criminal possession
00:04:49of a weapon in the second,
00:04:52attempted robbery in the first.
00:04:55The first time I was sent to prison
00:04:56was when I was 18 years old.
00:04:58I was breaking into junkyards and, you know,
00:05:03commercial buildings.
00:05:05At the time, I felt like money was more important.
00:05:08I let my greed get the best of me,
00:05:10and I completely took my freedom for granted.
00:05:13But I am overly confident
00:05:16that I will never go to prison again.
00:05:20We getting ready to go, so y'all spend some time together.
00:05:23Well, I appreciate you all for being there for us,
00:05:26and most of all, being there for Zaria,
00:05:28support her on her journey.
00:05:30Time for us to live our lives,
00:05:31going about our business, and enjoy each other.
00:05:34Let's hit it, like we do.
00:05:38And so, God, we thank you for this day.
00:05:39We thank you for all you've done.
00:05:40Thank you for Troy and being free.
00:05:44Remember, us only three people need to be in your marriage,
00:05:48Zaria, Troy, and God.
00:05:52Now that Troy is out,
00:05:54this is the real test of the relationship.
00:05:56This is his family now, and this is his wife.
00:05:59These are his bills.
00:06:00These are his responsibilities.
00:06:01All of those parts of it can either make it or break it.
00:06:05In your name, Lord, we pray.
00:06:07Amen. Amen.
00:06:08You'll get it.
00:06:11Quitting is not an option.
00:06:15It's just me and you.
00:06:17Your husband real?
00:06:18Me.
00:06:19I'm one of those.
00:06:22Zaria is the love of my life.
00:06:25She's my wife, my best friend.
00:06:28So, I got you a couple of surprises.
00:06:31Ooh.
00:06:32I mean, she beautiful as all hell.
00:06:34Like, I mean, every time I see her, I just smile.
00:06:37Like, I think about her, I smile.
00:06:39I've definitely met my soulmate.
00:06:43Ooh.
00:06:44It's a money bouquet that I got made for you.
00:06:47That's cute.
00:06:49This is cute, babe.
00:06:50And I got the crown because, you know,
00:06:52you the king, period.
00:06:53Your king is home.
00:06:56That's fire.
00:07:01I definitely can't wait to get by ourselves
00:07:04so I can have my time with you.
00:07:07I love you.
00:07:10So I can enjoy myself.
00:07:11I just want to take my time with my wife.
00:07:13You deserve it, beautiful.
00:07:15Seriously, you hear me?
00:07:16Yeah.
00:07:17You deserve it, bae.
00:07:19Yeah.
00:07:23Damn, you look f***ing hot as f***.
00:07:32It's 8 a.m.
00:07:34Me and True had a good night.
00:07:35We had sex, we talked.
00:07:37Everything was fine.
00:07:38Wake up this morning, he just gone.
00:07:42Not answering no calls,
00:07:43not responding to no text messages.
00:07:47I'm just sitting here, I'm pissed
00:07:48because I'm really just trying to figure out, like,
00:07:50what happened, what was said.
00:07:51Did I do something wrong?
00:07:52So I don't know what to do at this point.
00:08:00Trying to soak all the s*** in, you know what I mean?
00:08:03Just the freedom.
00:08:06I'm enjoying that I get to eat whatever s*** I want to eat.
00:08:09Go wherever I want to go.
00:08:11Ain't no COs, no none of that.
00:08:13It feel good to sleep in a normal bed.
00:08:15Man, I bet it do.
00:08:18Last night, me and Shantae, we had sex.
00:08:22We probably went for, like, three hours.
00:08:24It was good because I waited so long.
00:08:27You know what I mean?
00:08:28So it was a little bit more special.
00:08:32Well, sex was cool.
00:08:33It wasn't bad.
00:08:34I felt like I was having sex when I was 17, 18 years old again,
00:08:37which, to be true, is around the time he went in.
00:08:55I just feel really just annoyed.
00:08:57I don't even know where the s*** this man is.
00:09:00I'm just unsure with life right now at this point.
00:09:04How are you going to deal with that?
00:09:06I didn't tell Shantae I was leaving because I ain't got to, for real.
00:09:10Like, I'm free. I can do whatever I want to do.
00:09:12What's up with that jewellery you brought for me?
00:09:19I like it.
00:09:20I like it.
00:09:21I like it.
00:09:22I know he loves jewellery. He loves to be iced out.
00:09:25He loves a little swag on him.
00:09:28And he did ask for some jewellery, so it was a good time.
00:09:32So, it was a gift for him.
00:09:34Here, put this on me.
00:09:36How are you feeling about Shantae?
00:09:38She cool, man.
00:09:39Don't be lying to me.
00:09:40What's cool?
00:09:42I want some real s***.
00:09:43How do you think she feels about you?
00:09:45I think she's happy that I'm here now, finally.
00:09:47I feel like she's got to get used to me being in person with her, face to face.
00:09:51When I talk to her, like, she can't look at me.
00:09:54You see how we look at each other?
00:09:55Like, when I talk to her, she'll look off.
00:09:58She talks with an attitude and all that s***.
00:10:02You want to hit the casino?
00:10:07What you want to do? Hit the casino?
00:10:09Or you want to hit the mall?
00:10:10Is the mall still open?
00:10:11No.
00:10:16Oh.
00:10:17I knew she was a homebody while I was...
00:10:20So, what's the problem now?
00:10:21She too much of a homebody.
00:10:24She don't like to kick it anymore?
00:10:26I mean, so far, she just wants to stay in the crib.
00:10:28So, what you trying to do, though?
00:10:29Like, she wants to stay in the house.
00:10:30I'm trying to get my s*** together.
00:10:32I got to get my birth certificate, social security,
00:10:35because without that, I can't get a job.
00:10:36Right.
00:10:37I don't want to rely on her for everything.
00:10:41Do you see yourself with her? Like...
00:10:43She's my fiancée. I want to be with her.
00:10:46Uh-huh.
00:10:47I love her, but I'm trying to, like, adapt to the s***.
00:10:52You know what I mean?
00:10:57What was that?
00:10:59Man.
00:11:00You got to talk to her.
00:11:01Yeah, I see the plot now. I see the plot.
00:11:04What do you expect out of her?
00:11:06I don't expect her to be talking to me with an attitude.
00:11:10I just think she needs to change some of her ways.
00:11:12You know what I mean?
00:11:13You want to get out and kick it all night, probably,
00:11:15and she ain't got time for that.
00:11:17She's probably ready to settle down,
00:11:19and you're the opposite.
00:11:21I think I'm just getting out.
00:11:23I don't feel that he should have jumped into a relationship.
00:11:25Like, yeah, he can maybe date for a little while,
00:11:27but to actually be engaged, I don't really agree with it.
00:11:30Let's go shopping for clothes.
00:11:32My keys.
00:11:33I don't think it's going to work.
00:11:34I don't think that he should continue
00:11:36to carry on with this engagement, for sure.
00:11:40What's up with Tisha?
00:11:42Man, I could hit her up.
00:11:43Yeah, man, I want to see why the s*** you play me.
00:11:46Uh-uh.
00:11:48Tisha is my sister flame.
00:11:49You know, I used to talk to Tisha.
00:11:51I was digging her feeling, and she feeling me.
00:11:53She's just up and disappeared now, you know?
00:11:55I never got the pictures of her.
00:11:57For real?
00:11:58Yeah, we were just talking.
00:12:00Yo, you talking to somebody else?
00:12:01Did somebody else send you pictures?
00:12:05It's gonna be good to see your face.
00:12:07Uh-uh.
00:12:08I'm free right now.
00:12:13It definitely just ruined it for the both of us.
00:12:15Oh, f*** you.
00:12:16Welcome!
00:12:18I invited my husband's family.
00:12:20I love them, except for...
00:12:24I am going to share locations on both of our phones.
00:12:27Joey's cheated on pretty much everybody he's ever dated.
00:12:32No.
00:12:35Never want to see this place ever again.
00:12:38Never want to see this place ever again.
00:12:41Never, never.
00:12:43Oh, so nice to be in a vehicle?
00:12:45Driving?
00:12:46It's crazy.
00:12:49Oh, no.
00:12:50Baby, you ain't dreaming.
00:12:52So weird to be in the plush with you.
00:12:56I know.
00:12:58Dun, dun, dun.
00:12:59Oh, my gosh.
00:13:01Ah!
00:13:02Look at it.
00:13:03Returned!
00:13:04Ah!
00:13:05My cell phone!
00:13:06I'm so happy!
00:13:08Oh, my gosh.
00:13:094,522 emails.
00:13:12What am I gonna do?
00:13:14Oh, from Mom.
00:13:15How sweet.
00:13:16You're a c***.
00:13:19My mother had sent me a message on here.
00:13:21Turn yourself in and stop with the destruction of your life.
00:13:24What day was that?
00:13:25That was, like, when I got arrested.
00:13:27Ugh.
00:13:29My mother was a single mother,
00:13:31and she, I don't believe, enjoyed that
00:13:35because I predominantly lived with my great-grandmother
00:13:40and my great-aunt more than I lived with her.
00:13:44And by the time she finally got her s*** together,
00:13:47I was 11 years old and did not want to live with her anymore.
00:13:52So ever since I was a teenager,
00:13:54we've kind of been on rocky grounds.
00:13:56But 10 years ago, I turned to my mother
00:13:59when I realized that I had a drug problem.
00:14:01Instead of helping me, she went to the court system,
00:14:06reported me to CPS,
00:14:07and she now has custody of my oldest child.
00:14:11Years ago, I thought they were trying to kill me.
00:14:13You know, it's not like I got in trouble
00:14:15and then the kids got taken away.
00:14:16Like, I went to them first to try to get help.
00:14:20And they just stabbed me in the back.
00:14:22That's why, like, years ago, whenever I robbed those banks,
00:14:24like, I, it was because I was, like, done.
00:14:27I was either going to get arrested or I was going to die.
00:14:31And all I want is to have my kids back
00:14:33and us to be a family and to, you know, do my best.
00:14:37And it's like I have no support.
00:14:41I know it's a hugely, it's a huge triggering thing.
00:14:44And, you know, court is going to be the...
00:14:48Court's going to be what does it.
00:14:49I think that's going to be what does it.
00:14:51The most important thing for Chris right now
00:14:53is to get custody of her kids.
00:14:56It's not just ****. She has twins.
00:14:58She has had no communication with them in, like, eight years.
00:15:01She has tried to get in touch with her ex
00:15:03over and over and over again to go see the twins.
00:15:06He completely ignores her.
00:15:07There's a court order saying she can see her kids.
00:15:10They're still not letting her see them.
00:15:11So it's all...
00:15:12It's a mix of, like, bull**** and heartbreak and tragedy
00:15:16kind of all mixed together.
00:15:19God, I have you.
00:15:22What would I do without you? I really don't.
00:15:24You have me, yeah.
00:15:27What? What are you laughing at?
00:15:28I'm just laughing. It's because you just make me smile.
00:15:31You make me so happy.
00:15:32It's that look.
00:15:34It's always been the look.
00:15:35I love Julian like I've loved no one else in my life.
00:15:39And I am so excited to be intimate with Julian tonight.
00:15:44The last person that I was intimate with was Julian.
00:15:47That was about eight months ago
00:15:49when we spent just a few short days together
00:15:52right before I got arrested for a parole violation.
00:15:56I'm gonna tear your clothes off.
00:16:00He's amazing at, you know, going downtown.
00:16:03He's so good at that.
00:16:04Like, oh, my God.
00:16:09After you.
00:16:10Ooh.
00:16:11And, you know, I'm obviously amazing in bed myself
00:16:15with all the experience that I have.
00:16:17No more prison clothes.
00:16:19Finally.
00:16:20Hello.
00:16:21Yes.
00:16:22You look amazing.
00:16:23I'm feeling nothing but happiness.
00:16:26We want to just have some alone time.
00:16:28That's just...
00:16:29That's been something we've been working on
00:16:31and that's just...
00:16:32That's been something we've just been missing.
00:16:35Ooh, he's in bed here.
00:16:45You look so good.
00:16:47I'm gonna bang your head against this thing.
00:16:51I have no plans to use protection.
00:16:53I don't...
00:16:54I know she doesn't either.
00:16:55All right, time to go.
00:16:56I'm good.
00:16:57Time to get out.
00:16:58Get out of here.
00:16:59When it comes to, like, condoms,
00:17:00like, we don't use that one.
00:17:01Come on.
00:17:02That's some...
00:17:03That's some kid s*** right there.
00:17:04I want it raw, baby.
00:17:08Gotta get that raw dog.
00:17:10I think we might get kicked out of the hotel.
00:17:26Oh, my God.
00:17:27This is so cute.
00:17:30Cabin smells.
00:17:33I cannot wait for Joey to get out tomorrow.
00:17:36I'm counting down the minutes.
00:17:38A s'mores set.
00:17:39This is so sweet.
00:17:41I came up a night early so that I can really process
00:17:44and be away from the kids for a whole night
00:17:47so that I can be present in the moment
00:17:49when I get him tomorrow.
00:17:51Let's make sure I've got everything I need.
00:17:56But the last time I was intimate with Joey was 2018.
00:18:00Everything about me was different,
00:18:02so I'm super self-conscious about it.
00:18:05Pre-babies, I was ready to roll,
00:18:08and now, like, I have mom bod and C-section scars,
00:18:13and I'm really self-conscious about everything
00:18:16he's gonna see when he takes all this off.
00:18:20Whew.
00:18:23All right, alarm's set.
00:18:26Let's do this.
00:18:34I did not go to sleep until about 3.30 this morning,
00:18:37and when I woke up, I threw up.
00:18:40So I think it's nerves.
00:18:44I'm really having a hard time because I'm thinking about things
00:18:46that I don't know if I didn't want to think about
00:18:48or if I've just really pushed it out of my mind.
00:18:51There is a chance that Joey may think
00:18:55about going back to the street life.
00:18:58I trust him, but sometimes I don't make the right call
00:19:02when it comes to people I care about,
00:19:04and I want to make sure, sure,
00:19:06that he's not doing anything he's not supposed to be.
00:19:09If I find out that he's on drugs,
00:19:13it is absolutely going to break my heart
00:19:16because I can't do the drug thing.
00:19:19And so now I am going to share locations on both of our phones,
00:19:24and I'll know everywhere he goes.
00:19:27I've gotten him this brand-new phone.
00:19:30I think sharing locations can be invasive, but it's not for me.
00:19:34I really feel like if you're not doing anything
00:19:36you're not supposed to be, it shouldn't be that big of a deal.
00:19:39I did bring the ear tugs.
00:19:42He doesn't know, so let's just slide that down in here.
00:19:46Joey has a history of dating tasteless,
00:19:51trashy, drug addict women.
00:19:55He's been getting some messages from somebody
00:19:58invested in causing issues for us.
00:20:00All right.
00:20:01And if we're being really honest,
00:20:03I'm pretty sure Joey's cheated on pretty much
00:20:05everybody he's ever dated.
00:20:07So it's hard for me to just, like, sit back and wait
00:20:10because I feel like I'm always waiting on that other shoe to drop.
00:20:19Administration building.
00:20:25I don't really know where to go because I haven't been here.
00:20:28I'm not really sure where to even go to wait for him.
00:20:38I honestly don't know what I'm going to do
00:20:40when I see him come through the prison gates.
00:20:43I can only imagine that I'm not going to be able to talk.
00:20:47I'm probably not going to be able to move.
00:20:50Like, I'm so excited.
00:20:52I don't know.
00:20:55I think I'm just walking around outside.
00:20:58There's that door too, but I don't know if they'll bring him
00:21:00through there or if they'll bring him through the gate.
00:21:04I think we both know that whatever he was doing before
00:21:06wasn't working, and I think he's trying to go the extra mile
00:21:09to show me, like, how much he wants a different life.
00:21:13That's him.
00:21:26Where have you been?
00:21:27What you think, I've been... with some other females?
00:21:29I'm going to suspend your phone.
00:21:31If you don't answer my call, you won't answer nobody else's.
00:21:34Just happy to have you with me.
00:21:36Like, what is that supposed to mean?
00:21:41You never get nowhere with all this negativity,
00:21:43and you're a mother----ing liar and a mother----ing snake.
00:21:46She is a hater.
00:21:55Is this my husband?
00:21:57It's the husband.
00:22:00Hey.
00:22:02Hey, husband.
00:22:12Oh, just at the spa, getting myself together for you.
00:22:20My man is coming home.
00:22:23ASAP.
00:22:25So, I'm excited.
00:22:27I'm also an emotional wreck right now
00:22:30because Keith and I have been married for two years,
00:22:34and we have never had sex,
00:22:37and it's been, like, four or five years since I've had sex.
00:22:40Babe, when you get home, we're going to get you a body facial.
00:22:46I got to get my body right.
00:22:48I'm, like, I need my skin super extra soft.
00:22:51You know, get my wax, my booty facial.
00:22:54So, when my man comes home, he is 100% satisfied.
00:22:58How's your day going?
00:23:00It is going. It's cool.
00:23:02I was thinking that we should have, you know,
00:23:04your dad and your stepmom
00:23:07and some of your sisters and brothers come over
00:23:10and break the news to them about your immediate release.
00:23:14That sounds cool, I guess.
00:23:16But are you cool with me calling -----
00:23:19so we could just squash this beef
00:23:21about all the stuff that she was saying about me behind my back?
00:23:25----- is Keith's sister, who is a hater.
00:23:29She supposedly has been saying nasty things about me
00:23:34behind my back to her family.
00:23:37She's really upset that I spent $15,000
00:23:40out of his account on my ring.
00:23:42This is the ring. I'm getting it.
00:23:44I'll do the consequences later.
00:23:46Okay, perfect.
00:23:47We'll use his card.
00:23:48She says that I'm not good enough for her brother,
00:23:51you know, things like that.
00:23:53So, she's a bitter sister.
00:24:19I think she's gonna be on some fake ----
00:24:21if she waits till you get home and then you talk to her.
00:24:25So, I think I need to get to her first.
00:24:29Okay, babe. I know you gotta get off the phone.
00:24:32I love you. Be safe.
00:24:34I don't want ---- to cause a family divide.
00:24:37I'm going to step out and let you get dressed.
00:24:41We are gonna have to have a conversation
00:24:42before she steps foot inside my house.
00:24:44You know what I'm saying?
00:24:46What the ---- was you saying about me?
00:24:48Why was you saying it about me?
00:24:50And if you're gonna keep saying this ---- now, bitch,
00:24:52you need to apologize, and let's move the ---- forward.
00:24:55I gotta go fix my hair. It's all messed up now.
00:24:57Talk to you later.
00:24:59If she doesn't fall in line,
00:25:01then we kicking her ass to the curb.
00:25:05Okay.
00:25:07This bitch want smoke, she gonna get it.
00:25:10Go figure.
00:25:15What's wrong with you?
00:25:16Can you go get off my back?
00:25:18Give me a second.
00:25:20Can you take this mic off me?
00:25:21I'm dealing with an idiot.
00:25:23My man is mad sexy.
00:25:26I'm about to find out if Troy does have a small ---- or not.
00:25:31I added the herbs in for you.
00:25:34Is that him?
00:25:35I see people.
00:25:39The Braxton's commercial-free event premieres next on WE tv.
00:26:10How do you feel?
00:26:12Anxious, baby.
00:26:14Yeah.
00:26:15Anxious.
00:26:17My mom wants me to go back to Vegas with her
00:26:19because we missed a lot of time together,
00:26:21and I haven't seen my siblings in a long-ass time.
00:26:26I'm glad you're here, like,
00:26:29just ready to live life, you know?
00:26:32Yeah.
00:26:34But, you know, I love Hope.
00:26:36Me leaving everything that I planned on doing in Dallas out here with Hope,
00:26:40you know, that's what kind of got me, um, torn.
00:26:45My legs are splitting.
00:26:47I don't know about you.
00:26:48How long until we get to Dallas, baby?
00:26:50Two hours.
00:26:52I like your little camping idea and ---- like that,
00:26:55but it's hot in the Benz, like,
00:26:58and I know it's only gonna get hotter,
00:27:00so I ain't really with that tonight.
00:27:02You don't want to go camping.
00:27:04No.
00:27:06So you're saying your mom was right.
00:27:08I'm not saying she was right.
00:27:09It's just too hot, bro.
00:27:11Whatever.
00:27:12Arthur was super excited about spending the night in my truck
00:27:16until his mother mentioned that it wasn't a good idea.
00:27:19Y'all sleeping in the truck tonight?
00:27:20He just got out of a cell.
00:27:21That's like a cell.
00:27:22My maternal instincts are kicking in.
00:27:24Like, I kind of really now want to just, like, take him home.
00:27:27And so it's hard for me to believe that, you know,
00:27:32her influence wasn't a part of his decision.
00:27:36It's hot in the Benz.
00:27:37Hot as ----.
00:27:39I can't do this.
00:27:40If she could influence him that quickly
00:27:43without him really noticing,
00:27:45what about our relationship?
00:27:46What about moving to Vegas?
00:27:48I'm just gonna have to put my truck up,
00:27:50and I guess we can just go to the crib.
00:27:53Okay, thank you, baby.
00:27:54You can just make it up to me later.
00:27:56I will.
00:27:59I'm gonna move my car, and then we can move our stuff over.
00:28:04You need to get everything together right now?
00:28:06Yes, get your stuff together.
00:28:07All right.
00:28:12You ready to go?
00:28:13Yeah, baby.
00:28:14Okay.
00:28:15You're outside right now.
00:28:16It's a dream.
00:28:17I'm gonna wake up in a minute.
00:28:18It's spars.
00:28:19You don't see them come over to prison, right?
00:28:21Uh-uh.
00:28:23You can't see straight up in there.
00:28:25Doing as much time as I did, I was always locked up.
00:28:28Just being outside, it's more than what I imagined it to be.
00:28:32Ah!
00:28:35I'm free!
00:28:37I'm ----- free!
00:28:38It's surreal.
00:28:39It's like touching and feeling hope,
00:28:41touching and kissing her, able to actually feel her.
00:28:44You ready?
00:28:45Definitely ready.
00:28:46This is the moment that I've been waiting on.
00:28:48It's everything.
00:28:50It's everything.
00:28:51I'm about to take you home.
00:28:53I'm about to take you home.
00:28:55Are you ready?
00:28:56You know I'm ready.
00:29:01We've been through a lot, but nothing is like free world a lot.
00:29:05Yeah, it's definitely about to be a journey.
00:29:07I'm ready, though.
00:29:11You ready for this?
00:29:13Goodness.
00:29:17Damn.
00:29:18Look at that view.
00:29:20Like we live here.
00:29:21Yeah.
00:29:22Crazy.
00:29:23What the ----?
00:29:25What the ----?
00:29:27You can look out the windows like you couldn't look out the windows before.
00:29:32Man, like, oh, my God, baby, you did so good.
00:29:36All right, show me the rest.
00:29:37I'll get stuff out here.
00:29:39Okay.
00:29:40This is the bedroom.
00:29:42Yeah.
00:29:43Same view.
00:29:44Same view.
00:29:45Oh, it's firm.
00:29:46Let me see.
00:29:49It's not that soft.
00:29:50No, it's soft.
00:29:51It's soft.
00:29:52It's perfect.
00:29:53We have a whole living room, kitchen.
00:29:57Sewing machine.
00:29:58Welcome home.
00:29:59Thank you, baby.
00:30:01You got that for me?
00:30:02Yes.
00:30:03So you can sew and make clothes, obviously.
00:30:07I want to be a designer, so I'm like, damn, you actually got me a sewing machine.
00:30:12You got all the little bells and whistles.
00:30:14I don't know anything about sewing machines.
00:30:16But you got all the bells and whistles, you know?
00:30:18Yeah, you got me everything.
00:30:19In prison, I was sewed just basically for a pastime.
00:30:22I done heard a lot of **** in there about sewing.
00:30:24Tough guy this, tough guy that.
00:30:26Everything is, like, macho.
00:30:28But I still did it.
00:30:30How do you feel?
00:30:31It's a little overwhelming.
00:30:33I mean...
00:30:34A little?
00:30:35A lot.
00:30:36It's a lot.
00:30:37It's a lot.
00:30:38The full extent of what Hope has done, like the emotional support, the financial support, that means a lot.
00:30:44We can just stare out the window all night.
00:30:45We don't even have to, like...
00:30:46Nah, we can't stare out no window all night.
00:30:48No?
00:30:49Nah, not all night, nah.
00:30:50You must have plans.
00:30:51Yeah, you know what I'm trying to do.
00:30:53No, I don't.
00:30:54Yeah, I'm trying to get you in that room.
00:30:55And for what?
00:30:57You know for what.
00:30:58We going to the room right now.
00:30:59I don't want to watch no movie.
00:31:01I struggle with the same stuff everybody else struggle with.
00:31:04Insecurities.
00:31:06I'm not the person I was six years ago.
00:31:09I definitely was super skinny when Arthur met me.
00:31:12I had different hair or I looked different.
00:31:16Just all those things that come up in everyone's head.
00:31:19Like, oh, am I good enough?
00:31:21You're trying to get straight to it.
00:31:22Straight to it right now.
00:31:23Like, straight to it?
00:31:24Right now.
00:31:25But, you know, I hope that he still likes me and everything that I come with.
00:31:31Yes.
00:31:44How you feeling?
00:31:45Irritated.
00:31:52You haven't even been called your parole officer.
00:31:54And that should have been the first thing that should have happened this morning when you woke up.
00:31:57You're not even taking care of business how you're supposed to.
00:32:01Appreciate it.
00:32:02Appreciate it.
00:32:03Appreciate it.
00:32:04All right, G-Boss.
00:32:05Thanks, Stank.
00:32:06All right.
00:32:07Be greasy.
00:32:08Be greasy.
00:32:10Be easy.
00:32:20What's wrong with you?
00:32:23What's up?
00:32:24You mad at me or something?
00:32:25What's up?
00:32:26I'm just taking you in.
00:32:28You what?
00:32:33Nothing, I'm chilling.
00:32:35I'm chilling, chilling, chilling.
00:32:37Talk to me.
00:32:40You been gone for, like, half the day.
00:32:42Where have you been?
00:32:45What?
00:32:47Three hours.
00:32:48True.
00:32:49I've been trying to get some clothes.
00:32:50Workout shoes.
00:32:52Shorts.
00:32:54Stop smacking.
00:32:57It's annoying.
00:32:59Are you trying to be funny right now?
00:33:00No, I'm being dead serious.
00:33:01I'm not a **** comedian at all.
00:33:03I'm not laughing.
00:33:05I wouldn't be out right now trying to look for **** if you would have just listened to me.
00:33:10If we thought together—
00:33:11No, you wouldn't because you gave me all the wrong signs.
00:33:13I don't think I can fit these.
00:33:14That's what signs you told me.
00:33:16We're going to find out.
00:33:18I need, like, a 2X.
00:33:20I told you that.
00:33:22But regardless, like—
00:33:23And you just went to the store and bought all of that.
00:33:26Where your bag at?
00:33:27In my sister's car.
00:33:29What you think?
00:33:30I **** around with some other female?
00:33:32She gave me a ride to drop me off to another female house?
00:33:35Boy, I got hella brothers.
00:33:36These my loyalty is to my brother.
00:33:37Not no female.
00:33:38They not married.
00:33:39When you get married, it's different.
00:33:41Nah, tell me about it.
00:33:42You think my sister is covering up for me?
00:33:43Yes.
00:33:44Okay.
00:33:45We'll call her right now.
00:33:47Since you think I'm lying.
00:33:49Since True ain't keeping it true.
00:33:51Hello?
00:33:52What's up?
00:33:53What's up, dog?
00:33:54Hey, I got a question.
00:33:56What all stores did we go to?
00:33:58We went to the mall.
00:34:00She bought the hat.
00:34:01She bought the shoes.
00:34:03That's the store.
00:34:04And then the jewelry.
00:34:06All right.
00:34:07I'm going to holler at you, man.
00:34:08All right.
00:34:09All right.
00:34:11Let me tell you something.
00:34:13I wasted 13 years in the joint.
00:34:15You think I'm going to get out and waste any amount of time
00:34:18if I don't want to **** with you?
00:34:19Or if I want to talk to another female?
00:34:21For what?
00:34:22I ain't going to do that to you.
00:34:23I'm not.
00:34:24I love you too much.
00:34:26What?
00:34:27You still don't believe me?
00:34:28I don't know what to tell you.
00:34:29I'm serious.
00:34:30Say nothing.
00:34:31Yeah, that's the problem.
00:34:32You don't ever say nothing.
00:34:33But I'm having a hard time, like,
00:34:35trying to get you to talk as well.
00:34:37Me?
00:34:38Yeah.
00:34:39You ain't saying nothing.
00:34:40You just sitting there on your phone just...
00:34:41Because I'm annoyed.
00:34:43You annoyed?
00:34:44What you annoyed for?
00:34:45I just asked you if you annoyed.
00:34:46What's wrong with you?
00:34:47Talk to me.
00:34:48And you ain't saying nothing.
00:34:49Oh, nothing.
00:34:50It's cool.
00:34:51I'm cool.
00:34:52You're too shy.
00:34:53Like, boring.
00:34:54No offense, but...
00:34:55Okay.
00:34:57To hear this man sit here
00:34:59and basically dog me...
00:35:02I'm pissed.
00:35:05It's cool you a homebody.
00:35:07Look, and you back on the phone.
00:35:08You on the phone.
00:35:09It's cool that you're loud.
00:35:10Let me see this.
00:35:11Look.
00:35:12Let me see that.
00:35:13All right.
00:35:14Yesterday, you're telling me you love me
00:35:15and you're in love with me.
00:35:16And you sitting here telling me
00:35:17I'm boring
00:35:18and I'm too much of a homebody for you.
00:35:19I'm like, okay.
00:35:21Like, what the hell am I supposed to do?
00:35:22I'm up here.
00:35:23I don't know nobody
00:35:24and you leave all day long.
00:35:25You pissed me off.
00:35:26I'm going to suspend your phone.
00:35:27If you don't answer my call,
00:35:28you won't answer nobody else's call.
00:35:29You don't answer my call
00:35:30for eight hours straight,
00:35:31you won't answer nobody else's call.
00:35:32Yeah.
00:35:33No hesitation.
00:35:34On my mama and my daddy.
00:35:35You petty than a mother...
00:35:37You petty.
00:35:38Yeah.
00:35:39Look, you hate
00:35:40when you do not have no power.
00:35:42You hate it.
00:35:43You hate it.
00:35:44I'm about to leave.
00:35:45Huh?
00:35:46I want to stay for a second.
00:35:47So bad.
00:35:48So bad.
00:35:49I hate rules.
00:35:51Do this.
00:35:52I need you to do that.
00:35:53I'm not cheating on you.
00:35:54I'm not...
00:35:55with a female.
00:35:56None of that.
00:35:57I'm still soaking in.
00:35:58I'm free.
00:35:59It still feel unreal.
00:36:01I'm trying to get myself together.
00:36:03I got to humble myself
00:36:04a little more,
00:36:05you know what I mean?
00:36:06Because
00:36:07I know it can't work
00:36:08out here in society.
00:36:09But she need to
00:36:10chill,
00:36:11relax.
00:36:12If we don't work,
00:36:14that's on you.
00:36:22I'm excited to have sex with Troy.
00:36:24Open your eyes.
00:36:25I've been anticipating this
00:36:27for a very long time.
00:36:29It's a private part steam.
00:36:31What the f*** did I sign up for?
00:36:34Is that him?
00:36:35It's definitely going to be a lot
00:36:36coming home from prison
00:36:37to a house with two little boys.
00:36:39I hope that Troy's ready
00:36:40to be a full-time parent.
00:36:53Is that him?
00:37:10All right.
00:37:11Take care, bro.
00:37:12All right.
00:37:13Baby?
00:37:15It's pretty, huh?
00:37:17Are you going to cry?
00:37:18I might.
00:37:21I love you.
00:37:26You okay?
00:37:27Yeah.
00:37:28Feel better?
00:37:30Yeah.
00:37:33I love you.
00:37:34I love you.
00:37:39Yeah.
00:37:41I am so happy to be free
00:37:44and on the other side
00:37:45of that fence.
00:37:46And I'm never going back
00:37:47to that again.
00:37:49I'm happy to be with Kimberly
00:37:51because I love her
00:37:52a whole, whole bunch.
00:37:54And I'm just happy.
00:37:56I'm excited.
00:37:58Are you ready to go, babe?
00:37:59Yes.
00:38:00Let's get out of here.
00:38:01Come on.
00:38:03I feel amazing.
00:38:04Like I can finally put
00:38:06my hands on him.
00:38:09I just want to get out
00:38:10of these clothes
00:38:11and go get something to eat
00:38:13and spend the rest
00:38:14of the day with you.
00:38:15Is that what you want to do?
00:38:16Mm-hmm.
00:38:18I feel amazing.
00:38:19Mm-hmm.
00:38:20Do you want to drive?
00:38:21Yeah.
00:38:22You got my license?
00:38:23Yep, got it from Mama.
00:38:25There you go.
00:38:26Mama's been renewing it
00:38:27every two years.
00:38:29My family life was good,
00:38:30especially when I was young.
00:38:32Then at, you know,
00:38:33around 14, 15,
00:38:34that's when it changed.
00:38:36Started hanging out
00:38:37with the wrong crowd
00:38:38and doing the wrong things,
00:38:39you know,
00:38:40running around,
00:38:41selling drugs,
00:38:42and it just progressed.
00:38:45I've been in prison
00:38:46for almost six years,
00:38:48and my charges were
00:38:51obtaining property
00:38:52by false pretense
00:38:53and a felony larceny
00:38:56of a firearm charge.
00:38:58I didn't know
00:38:59what to bring today,
00:39:00so I just grabbed
00:39:01both the bags that I brought.
00:39:02And now I'm free.
00:39:04And I'm definitely
00:39:05never going back.
00:39:09Did I do good?
00:39:10You did good, baby.
00:39:12I know.
00:39:13You did real good.
00:39:14I know I did.
00:39:15My dream girl is Kimberly.
00:39:17She's just caring.
00:39:19She's just different.
00:39:20You can feel it
00:39:22in the way she talks to me.
00:39:24She's just,
00:39:25she loves me more
00:39:26than anything in the world.
00:39:28I think you'd want
00:39:29out of these clothes faster.
00:39:32She gives me
00:39:33everything that I need.
00:39:34Like, if I call,
00:39:35she answers, you know.
00:39:36She's gorgeous.
00:39:38I can look into her eyes forever,
00:39:41and I plan to.
00:39:43License.
00:39:45Boom.
00:39:46Oh, I like it, babe.
00:39:48You did a good job, babe.
00:39:49Always do.
00:39:51She's the one.
00:39:52She's it.
00:39:53Maybe we should
00:39:54call my mom now, right?
00:39:55Yeah.
00:39:56You want to FaceTime her?
00:39:57Yeah.
00:39:58How do I FaceTime on this, babe?
00:39:59So, call your mom's number.
00:40:01Yeah.
00:40:03Once she answers,
00:40:04you just hit
00:40:05that FaceTime button.
00:40:06Oh, it's that easy now?
00:40:08Yeah.
00:40:09It didn't used to be like that.
00:40:10You know that, right?
00:40:11When's the last time
00:40:12you had an iPhone?
00:40:13The last time I had an iPhone
00:40:14was when it had, like,
00:40:15a four or five
00:40:16or something like that.
00:40:17What are we on?
00:40:1814 or 15?
00:40:19Hello?
00:40:20Hey.
00:40:21Hey.
00:40:22We'll be home tomorrow.
00:40:30We are.
00:40:31We are.
00:40:32We're coming home.
00:40:33We love you.
00:40:34What are you doing, Kaysa?
00:40:35Hey, buddy.
00:40:37Yeah?
00:40:40It's definitely going to be a lot
00:40:41coming home from prison
00:40:43to a house with two little boys.
00:40:46I hope that Joey's ready
00:40:47to be a full-time parent.
00:40:50Bye, y'all.
00:40:51Bye. I love you.
00:40:52But if I had to say
00:40:53what I'm the most afraid of,
00:40:55it would be definitely
00:40:57that he may fall back
00:40:58into his drug use
00:40:59because that's the one thing
00:41:01I can't...
00:41:02I can't handle.
00:41:03Hit the side.
00:41:05I'm hitting it.
00:41:06In my heart, like,
00:41:07I believe that he's sober
00:41:08and I believe that he wants
00:41:09to stay that way.
00:41:10But for now,
00:41:11I'm gonna be watching him
00:41:12at all times.
00:41:14I can't.
00:41:15You do it.
00:41:17There you go.
00:41:18We're gonna have to work
00:41:19on this phone thing.
00:41:24Open your eyes.
00:41:25Like, oh, my gosh.
00:41:26I'm about to find out
00:41:28if Troy does have
00:41:29a small d*** or not.
00:41:32Awkward.
00:41:33Why do you make me
00:41:34seem like it's a big deal?
00:41:35You could get off my back.
00:41:37Give me a second.
00:41:39You can't even make
00:41:40the best decisions for you.
00:41:41What the f*** are you doing
00:41:42for us?
00:41:43Can you take this mic off me?
00:41:53You look so good.
00:41:55You look so good.
00:41:59You taste good.
00:42:00You taste good.
00:42:01I know you probably
00:42:02taste better, though.
00:42:04Yeah.
00:42:11We're about to go
00:42:12to the hotel.
00:42:13Ooh.
00:42:14And I have a very special,
00:42:16special surprise for you.
00:42:18Over the course
00:42:19of my incarceration,
00:42:21after seven years,
00:42:22Rhea and I have probably
00:42:24spent an amount of
00:42:25just a few days together.
00:42:27I mean, I feel amazing.
00:42:29It's like, there's no words
00:42:30I can't explain.
00:42:31It's a surreal moment.
00:42:33Are you nervous that, like,
00:42:35we're having sex
00:42:36for the first time?
00:42:37Very honestly, I feel like
00:42:39it's all just, like,
00:42:41it's gonna come
00:42:42just so natural to us.
00:42:43It's gonna feel like
00:42:44we've been together forever.
00:42:46I haven't been with a woman
00:42:48in over seven years,
00:42:49so, I mean, to be able
00:42:51to share that first time
00:42:52and to be able to share
00:42:53that first experience with her,
00:42:55I mean, it means
00:42:56everything to me.
00:42:57Don't forget anything.
00:42:58Make sure you have everything.
00:43:00I had to make sure
00:43:01to grab this money bouquet.
00:43:03I might look in there
00:43:04and try to steal it.
00:43:05I'm excited
00:43:06to have sex with Troy.
00:43:08Come on, bae.
00:43:09I think the elevator
00:43:10is right here.
00:43:11And I'm nervous
00:43:13because all I can think of
00:43:15is just, like,
00:43:17what is it really
00:43:19looking like down there?
00:43:21Don't open your eyes
00:43:22until I tell you, okay?
00:43:24All right.
00:43:25I'm gonna take some stuff
00:43:26out your hands.
00:43:33All right.
00:43:34Open your eyes.
00:43:39Oh, my God.
00:43:41I love you.
00:43:43I love you, bae.
00:43:45You're welcome.
00:43:46Mmm.
00:43:47Mmm.
00:43:49You're welcome, bae.
00:43:53You're welcome, baby.
00:43:55Mmm-mmm.
00:43:56Mmm-mmm.
00:43:58I spent about $300
00:44:00having over-the-top decoration
00:44:02so that Troy felt like
00:44:04someone thought about him
00:44:05and just to surprise him.
00:44:07I feel like this
00:44:08is just a part of me.
00:44:09I don't feel like
00:44:10I do too much.
00:44:11I feel like people
00:44:12don't do enough.
00:44:14It's something
00:44:15that he deserves.
00:44:16I appreciate you.
00:44:19Aw, bae.
00:44:21Thank you, beautiful.
00:44:23You're welcome.
00:44:24Mmm-mmm.
00:44:26I just wanted to do
00:44:27something special.
00:44:28I really, really love you.
00:44:30You're finally home, bae.
00:44:33I've been anticipating this
00:44:34for a very long time,
00:44:36waiting, waiting, waiting,
00:44:38years, years, years.
00:44:40I got one other thing
00:44:42that I want to show you.
00:44:44Oh, my God.
00:44:46I prepared for this day
00:44:47for a very long time.
00:44:49Well, to my left here,
00:44:54do you know what this is, though?
00:44:58It's a private parts theme
00:45:00for both of us.
00:45:03It's gonna clean
00:45:04your private parts?
00:45:05Yes.
00:45:06All right.
00:45:07It's gonna clean
00:45:08your private parts,
00:45:09so we're gonna make sure
00:45:10that all that gel stuff
00:45:12is completely off.
00:45:14What the f*** did I sign up for?
00:45:18Do you feel the steam?
00:45:20Do you feel like
00:45:21it's cleaning you?
00:45:22I added the herbs in for you.
00:45:24Yes, baby.
00:45:25I mean, that s***
00:45:26is for women.
00:45:27It's literally in the shape
00:45:28of a f***ing vagina,
00:45:30and I don't think my ass
00:45:32was supposed to have
00:45:33been sitting on there.
00:45:36Bae, are you ready?
00:45:41Bae, are you ready?
00:45:44It's time for your bath.
00:45:45Hell yeah, I'm ready.
00:45:47My man is mad sexy.
00:45:49Like, he has curated his body
00:45:52perfectly over the years,
00:45:54and he did right.
00:45:56I really, really, really
00:45:57want to look at the size
00:45:58of his penis.
00:46:00Last but not least,
00:46:02I have one more thing for you.
00:46:04What is that, baby?
00:46:05A crown fit for a kink.
00:46:10I'm the king and you're my queen,
00:46:12and we're going to have
00:46:13a beautiful life together.
00:46:21Like, oh my gosh.
00:46:22I'm about to find out if
00:46:26Troy does have a small d*** or not.
00:46:30I prayed very, very hard to God,
00:46:33so I'm hoping that God heard me.
00:46:40You're not taking this
00:46:41as serious.
00:46:43What is it?
00:46:45D*** damn.
00:46:46I'm dealing with an idiot.
00:46:48Can you take this mic off me?
00:46:50I just haven't been, like, happy.
00:46:53The f***?
00:46:57This is the moment.
00:46:59Their love survived lockup.
00:47:02I mean, we're happy, right?
00:47:04But this October,
00:47:06Will it survive?
00:47:07Do you have a will
00:47:08and do you have things in order?
00:47:09A life sentence?
00:47:11I need to go, y'all.
00:47:16I'm questioning every decision I've made.
00:47:19The all-new season of
00:47:20Life After Lockup
00:47:21premieres this October
00:47:22on WE tv and All Black.
00:47:36What are you doing here?
00:47:38I live here.
00:47:39I know.
00:47:40That's okay.
00:47:41You can live here.
00:47:47I woke up feeling good.
00:47:48I woke up looking at my wife.
00:47:50Through all of these years
00:47:51anticipating and finally getting here,
00:47:53it was everything I expected it to be and more.
00:47:55Me and Hope definitely had sex
00:47:57and it was exhausting.
00:47:59It was good, but it was exhausting.
00:48:02We haven't had sex in a long-ass time,
00:48:04so I didn't think I was going to get that tired.
00:48:06But the sex is better now, actually.
00:48:11Why are you tearing up, baby?
00:48:14I don't know.
00:48:15I just haven't been happy in a long-ass time.
00:48:18I feel like I kind of did it to myself,
00:48:23just ruining what we had the first time.
00:48:26Not allowing myself to be faithful
00:48:32and give us a chance.
00:48:34It definitely just ruined it for the both of us.
00:48:41I'm just happy to have you with me.
00:48:43It feels like you've been part of yourself,
00:48:46beating yourself up about
00:48:48some s**t that happened in the past.
00:48:50You shouldn't feel like that.
00:48:53Because I f**ked up too.
00:48:57I seen that you got man-to-man tatted on your ass.
00:49:01Yeah, I mean, I did that for you.
00:49:03Because you were getting, like, my name
00:49:06or some type of tattoo, like a portrait
00:49:08or something about me.
00:49:10Yeah, I was, but it didn't work out like that.
00:49:13So you didn't get any tattoo?
00:49:15No, I got a rose.
00:49:17A rose?
00:49:18Yeah.
00:49:19What is that supposed to mean?
00:49:21It symbolizes life.
00:49:22Life.
00:49:23You got a tattoo that symbolizes life?
00:49:26Yeah.
00:49:27Okay.
00:49:28Well, I have your name, so...
00:49:33So I gave Arthur $300 to get a tattoo,
00:49:38which was supposed to be a portrait of me.
00:49:40And, you know, I just felt really special and honored,
00:49:43so I wanted to do the same for him,
00:49:45and I got his name tattooed on me.
00:49:49And he didn't get it.
00:49:52Like, what'd you think?
00:49:53Like, oh, when I get out, she'll just forget
00:49:55that she sent me, like, what, $300 to get a tattoo.
00:49:58And you thought that's what was gonna happen?
00:50:01Yeah.
00:50:02Oh.
00:50:03Okay.
00:50:05I asked you, did you get tattoos?
00:50:07And you was like, yeah.
00:50:09And I'm going back for a touch-up.
00:50:11Like, all of that was a lie.
00:50:14I was just trying to save face, baby.
00:50:16I mean, you had already sent your money.
00:50:17So what if you're, like, just trying to save face now?
00:50:20I'm not.
00:50:21The hardest part about being in a relationship
00:50:23with someone who is in prison is you'll never know the truth.
00:50:27You'll never know what happened while he was there.
00:50:30You only know what they tell you.
00:50:32She still got attitude or something?
00:50:34I mean, you can't just come here and act like, you know,
00:50:36nothing just happened.
00:50:38I had to defend you.
00:50:40Like, when people are telling me, like,
00:50:42no, he didn't get no tattoo,
00:50:44he's just ran off with your money, lying to you.
00:50:47These are my friends.
00:50:49At the end of the day, like, I'm the butt of the joke.
00:50:51I think I've spent about $20,000 to $40,000 on Arthur
00:50:55since he's been in prison.
00:50:57On a trucker's salary, it's not easy to afford.
00:51:02My friends definitely feel like Arthur's using me
00:51:05mostly for money and, you know, like a place to stay,
00:51:08and so I feel pretty stupid.
00:51:12Like I said, that's not gonna happen again.
00:51:13I'm not gonna lie to you.
00:51:15Your track record for just your word
00:51:17isn't really that good with me right now.
00:51:21I've done my share of hurting you.
00:51:23A little bit.
00:51:25And you've done your share of hurting me.
00:51:27Yeah.
00:51:28I'm tired of worrying, you know?
00:51:30I'm ready to be, like, happy and peaceful.
00:51:36Who you texting?
00:51:38Uh, I'm...
00:51:40I'm trying to spend time with my mama real quick.
00:51:42How long y'all gonna be gone?
00:51:44Probably, like, just a couple hours.
00:51:46What if she's, like, tries to take you back with her?
00:51:50Obviously, I'm not going back with her.
00:51:52I'm coming back home.
00:51:56So you don't feel like she's just gonna
00:51:58try to, like, say negative things,
00:52:00like, you don't need to be with me?
00:52:02My mama's just interested in reconnecting.
00:52:04She's not interested in ruining any relationships.
00:52:07I hope so. I mean...
00:52:09She has an effect on me, not us, okay?
00:52:12I mean, but you're a part of us.
00:52:13Yeah.
00:52:15She don't got no influence on me leaving you, Hope.
00:52:17I'm not leaving you.
00:52:18But I'ma hear what she's talking about.
00:52:20Okay.
00:52:30What got me in trouble was when I get bored.
00:52:33What's wrong with you?
00:52:35This...is not supposed to be, like, a job, you hear me?
00:52:37She got an attitude.
00:52:39Can you take this mic off me?
00:52:45My hair looks okay.
00:52:46Decent enough, I guess, to meet my in-laws again.
00:52:54Pizza!
00:52:55Pizza without cheese.
00:52:58You're too hyper.
00:53:00I know!
00:53:01She's always bouncing off the walls.
00:53:02With the immediate release,
00:53:04Keith can get out any day.
00:53:06My anxiety is through the roof.
00:53:08I have spent so much money and energy
00:53:11advocating for my husband to be immediate released.
00:53:14And, like, I'm not prepared like I thought I would be.
00:53:19Give me care.
00:53:20I have my children.
00:53:21I have my business.
00:53:23So having to just up and jump
00:53:25whenever I get a phone call is gonna be hard.
00:53:29I'll just take Benita.
00:53:30She, uh...
00:53:31They should be on their way.
00:53:32Hurry and dock.
00:53:33Okay.
00:53:34And I think, um...
00:53:35I think she got Keidra.
00:53:36Uh, let's see who all shows up tonight.
00:53:38Yep.
00:53:39I invited my husband's family
00:53:41to tell them about Keith getting an immediate release.
00:53:45Like, I love them.
00:53:48They love me.
00:53:49Except for his sister.
00:53:52It's gonna be awkward with all this
00:53:54that was said behind my back.
00:53:56I mean, I think there's some...
00:53:57There's gotta be some type of truth to it.
00:53:58Yeah, definitely.
00:53:59But I don't know what her issue is.
00:54:00I haven't really talked to her in, like, three years.
00:54:02The beef with...
00:54:03has been going on for a couple years now.
00:54:06I'm kind of really over it.
00:54:07Let's just squash whatever this...
00:54:11so that my husband doesn't come home to all this drama.
00:54:15Uh!
00:54:16Is that Lil' Mike?
00:54:17Yeah.
00:54:18Damn!
00:54:19What y'all is...
00:54:20That's Nephew.
00:54:21Girl, you always talking to him.
00:54:24Lil' Mike is Keith, my nephew.
00:54:26I will always call him Lil' Mike.
00:54:27He's been Lil' Mike since we were younger,
00:54:29so he's Lil' Mike.
00:54:30Hey, Big Daddy.
00:54:32What's up? What you doing?
00:54:33Just here waiting for your family to get to the house.
00:54:36Nephew, what up, though?
00:54:38What you got going on?
00:54:39Nothing.
00:54:40Coming!
00:54:41Somebody at the door.
00:54:42Oh, yeah?
00:54:43Yeah.
00:54:44Hello.
00:54:45Welcome!
00:54:47Uh, I think it's Benita.
00:54:48Hey, Pop, how are you?
00:54:49Actually called at the right time.
00:54:51It seemed like everybody just got here.
00:54:52Where is your co?
00:54:54Look, Lil' Mike on the phone.
00:54:56He just called.
00:54:57Anybody want to talk?
00:54:58Anybody want to talk?
00:54:59What's up, baby boy?
00:55:00We here.
00:55:01We got you on the loudspeaker.
00:55:02Hey, what's up, Dad?
00:55:04What you got going on, man?
00:55:05I'm just here, man.
00:55:06I can't wait till you get out here, man.
00:55:09So, Miss Benita, this is my daughter, Narai, my oldest.
00:55:12Hey, OG.
00:55:13How you doing?
00:55:14What?
00:55:15How you doing?
00:55:16Oh, yeah?
00:55:18Oh, right here.
00:55:19She lives right here.
00:55:20Yeah, I love her.
00:55:21Hey.
00:55:22Y'all think she's going to pop up?
00:55:24No, I don't think she will.
00:55:25You don't think she's going to come?
00:55:26No.
00:55:27No?
00:55:28Uh-uh, because she ain't feeling good.
00:55:29Oh.
00:55:30I hope she feels better.
00:55:32It's disappointing.
00:55:35Avoiding the arrangements to meet up
00:55:38means that she was talking s***.
00:55:40It's an admission of guilt.
00:55:42That's how I feel.
00:55:44So, baby, you want to tell them, or you want me to tell them?
00:55:46I'm going to let you do the honors.
00:55:48OK.
00:55:49So we need to come together whether we like each other or not.
00:55:51And the fact that you couldn't do that,
00:55:53one, tells me that you're a motherf***ing liar.
00:55:56Two, tells me that you're a motherf***ing snake.
00:55:59So, me and Keith wanted to let you guys know
00:56:03what was going on and why I had you over.
00:56:06OK.
00:56:07It's a retroactive law that's going on.
00:56:09They took away, like, mandatory minimums for his situation.
00:56:13So, he's getting an immediate release.
00:56:16Congratulations!
00:56:19Oh, I'm tearing up.
00:56:21Like, any day, any day, any day.
00:56:23Like, you know, like, literally, any day.
00:56:26I'm about to call out this chair.
00:56:29Oh, yeah.
00:56:31Oh, yeah.
00:56:33Man, I'm overwhelmed with joy.
00:56:36No matter how old you get, you know, he's still my baby.
00:56:40You know, it's definitely going to be a weight
00:56:42lifted off my shoulder when he gets home.
00:56:44It's well-deserved, yes.
00:56:46Real style.
00:56:47All right, now, I'm going to pick you up.
00:56:49I know a lot.
00:56:50You have one minute left.
00:56:51We can do anything now, you know?
00:56:53OK.
00:56:54Ooh, I can't wait.
00:56:55I'm excited.
00:56:56I was 14 at the time when he went to prison,
00:57:00so it's been a while for sure, a long time coming.
00:57:03I'm just really excited to see what it's going to be like
00:57:05for him to see me and, like, for me to see him.
00:57:11Aw, I'm excited.
00:57:13I do want to do a surprise dinner for him.
00:57:15Yeah.
00:57:16With the chef and, you know, so everybody comes,
00:57:19like, dressed to impress.
00:57:21But just, like, his immediate family and friends,
00:57:24even though he say he can handle all of it,
00:57:26he's been gone for a long time, you know?
00:57:28So very institutionalized, OK?
00:57:31So I definitely want to make sure that he's comfortable
00:57:34and just not, like, super overwhelmed.
00:57:36Yeah.
00:57:37I did want to squash whatever beef there was, you know,
00:57:41with the s*** before my husband came home,
00:57:44just so that the family wasn't divided,
00:57:47and I didn't want any drama for him.
00:57:49Yeah.
00:57:50I think that was, I think that's for the best.
00:57:52I think more positivity and not so much negativity,
00:57:55because we never get nowhere...
00:57:57Yes, ma'am.
00:57:58...with all this negativity.
00:57:59I'm too short for that.
00:58:00It really is.
00:58:01It is too short,
00:58:02and that's not why he wants to see when he comes home.
00:58:04He loves his sister.
00:58:06I think it's sick that you don't show up
00:58:08for information about your brother,
00:58:10who you claim you love.
00:58:12That's how I feel.
00:58:13I gave you the opportunity to come clean.
00:58:15I got something, guys.
00:58:17Trying on our damn sleeve.
00:58:20I'm stressed the s*** out and scared and nervous,
00:58:24but when he gets home, I'm praying for the best.
00:58:29My king's coming home!
00:58:31My king's coming home!
00:58:33My king's coming home!
00:58:35Hey, hey, hey.
00:58:37Cheers to the king, okay?
00:58:39He's about to come home.
00:58:40Long time coming.
00:58:41Long time coming.
00:58:42Been waiting, been waiting.
00:58:43Been passed time.
00:58:44Real, real.
00:58:45Yep.
00:58:50Next Friday on an all-new Love After Lockup...
00:58:52I felt like we were f***ing Shimmy.
00:58:55I'm very shocked.
00:58:56It's 12 o'clock.
00:58:57It's really s***.
00:58:59I didn't mean for none of this to happen like this.
00:59:01I don't feel like this today.
00:59:02No problem.
00:59:03Oh, yeah?
00:59:04Nobody was definitely somebody.
00:59:05At this point, there is no indication.
00:59:07My heart's broken at this point.
00:59:09What do you want to do?
00:59:10Stay engaged.
00:59:11I feel like I was played.
00:59:12Oh, my God.
00:59:13Don't miss an all-new Love After Lockup
00:59:15next Friday at 8.
00:59:20All right, let's go.
00:59:21We finna see our P.O.
00:59:22Huh?
00:59:23We gonna see our P.O.
00:59:24You doing this s*** with me.
00:59:26Remember?
00:59:29I'm still eating.
00:59:31Well, you didn't give me nothing to eat.
00:59:33What is you talking about?
00:59:39Watch out.
00:59:40Let me open this door for you.
00:59:42In fact, let me see the keys.
00:59:44No.
00:59:45Let me see the keys.
00:59:46No.
00:59:47I'm only finna drive, like, a block.
00:59:49Uh-uh. Come on.
00:59:50A block?
00:59:51No, we can go to your P.O.
00:59:52Be careful.
00:59:53Can I drive for a block?
00:59:54No, you're going legal to the P.O.
00:59:56Get in the car.
00:59:58See?
00:59:59That's why I got to give my own s***.
01:00:01Because I want you to go legally to go see P.O.
01:00:03You can't tell me s***.
01:00:04You can't tell me.
01:00:05You can't drive.
01:00:06You can't do none of that.
01:00:11Why do you make me seem like it's a big deal?
01:00:14To go see P.O.
01:00:15Yeah, like, I'm not finna stress about this.
01:00:18So you could, um, get off my back.
01:00:22Thanks.
01:00:26At this point, I'm kind of irritated with True.
01:00:29First, he disappeared and came back with no shopping bags
01:00:32and told me you went shopping.
01:00:34And then he was supposed to check in with this parole officer.
01:00:37He ain't showing no concern to get out of Cape Girardeau.
01:00:40Now, what you think she gonna say?
01:00:42Nothing, for real, s***.
01:00:43She shouldn't say s***.
01:00:44But pay my fines.
01:00:46What's the fine?
01:00:47$30 a month.
01:00:48Oh.
01:00:49Well, it get waived for nine days, so...
01:00:51I don't know why he playing with his freedom right now.
01:00:54Nothing that's a priority to him besides him saying,
01:00:56I'm free.
01:00:57I'm free.
01:01:00I just think that True makes the wrong decisions.
01:01:03I don't feel like he ever had guidance
01:01:05to let him not make the wrong decision.
01:01:07That's why he spent most of his life in jail.
01:01:10Hopefully you get all your affairs in order
01:01:12so I can do something with you today.
01:01:14What you want to do?
01:01:16Something that I planned, not you.
01:01:20Since I'm born.
01:01:23I ain't saying you was born.
01:01:25You didn't say I was born.
01:01:26You could be born.
01:01:28Let me tell you something right now.
01:01:31I stay on the go.
01:01:35And where they got you at?
01:01:37But I'm trying to...
01:01:38I'm just asking you a question.
01:01:39You asked me.
01:01:40No, no, no, no.
01:01:41Stand out and get me in trouble.
01:01:43What got me in trouble was when I get bored.
01:01:45That's what get me in trouble.
01:01:46Now when I get bored...
01:01:50I ain't gonna get bored no more.
01:01:52When I get bored, that's when I always, like,
01:01:54I ain't look.
01:01:56It be me and the homeboys, we're like,
01:01:58look, let's go hit a lick.
01:02:00What we call a lick is...
01:02:03getting drunk.
01:02:05What we call a lick is...
01:02:07getting down on something.
01:02:08To go make some money.
01:02:09Let's go rob something.
01:02:11So, easy come up.
01:02:12That's a lick.
01:02:16I'll be back.
01:02:17Okay.
01:02:19F***.
01:02:20Where the f*** I even going?
01:02:24You wanna go in there with me?
01:02:25No.
01:02:30Oh, my gosh.
01:02:32I'm dealing with an idiot.
01:02:34I just feel like he's not taking us in serious right now.
01:02:41Truth is so,
01:02:43no regard for nothing going on around him
01:02:45besides him being free, which I get.
01:02:47But, g*** damn.
01:02:48There's a lot for you to do to stay free at this point
01:02:50that you better recognize real, real quick.
01:02:57What they say?
01:02:58She wasn't even up in there.
01:03:00They told me to just keep calling.
01:03:02But, I'm not gonna keep calling.
01:03:04Okay.
01:03:11What's wrong with you?
01:03:15F***.
01:03:18This is not supposed to be felt like a job.
01:03:20You hear me?
01:03:22You thought it was gonna be all fun?
01:03:25But, you make it difficult.
01:03:27How?
01:03:28What am I doing?
01:03:29Because, like,
01:03:30let's just get through the stuff that we have to do
01:03:32and then just go about the rest of the day.
01:03:34Like, you make the day procrastinate longer and longer.
01:03:36Yeah, but what am I doing?
01:03:37For real, for real.
01:03:38What am I doing?
01:03:40Like, you're just combative on everything.
01:03:44Chante's too much.
