00:00Previously on Belle Collective.
00:03When the last time have you seen Faheem?
00:06The judge is like,
00:08you're gonna knock it down to just a no contact order.
00:11You have to be able to let us know
00:13how you feel and what bothers you.
00:15Everybody know what they have done.
00:17We all have said hurtful things.
00:19The only thing we can do is move forward,
00:21and I'm asking that we hold each other accountable
00:22for what we do after this day.
00:24Latrice, I would love to have a one-on-one with you
00:26if you would be open to that.
00:29Keisha, I still don't trust her.
00:31She's not a trustworthy person.
00:32The dynamic of the collective now,
00:34everything is just torn.
00:35I don't know if we can come back from it.
00:37I'm actually willing to give the ladies another chance.
00:40But if they're on the same mess,
00:42then I'll correct them myself.
00:44And trust me, they won't like it.

01:36I'm meeting Latrice to follow up
01:38from the collective corrector.
01:40When it comes to Latrice and I and our friendship,
01:43we don't have to have a mediator.
01:45We were friends, real friends.
01:47Us having this conversation one-on-one,
01:50I think it's the best.
01:51Hey!
01:52Hello, hello.
01:53Oh, not the shades on at night.
01:55Girl, you know, I have to be prepared, honey.
01:57I didn't know whether to wear sneakers.
01:59Um, I just didn't know.
02:01For me?
02:02Yes, for you, girl.
02:03We're gonna fight?
02:04Honey, my friend tried to get in my ass.
02:07No, my friend, honey, hurt my feelings.
02:11Well, my friend hurt my feelings, but, you know.
02:14Okay, I definitely want to move forward.
02:16I'm just glad that you agreed to come sit down with me.
02:19What did you think about the, um, the,
02:21what was it, the correction, corrector?
02:23Collective corrector.
02:25For me, I wanted to know if this was genuine
02:28coming from Ikeisha.
02:30But then I also looked at it flip side.
02:32I said, well, you know what?
02:34We wouldn't have gotten together no other way.
02:36And so right now it's a vessel for me to, you know,
02:39work things out in relationships that I genuinely care about.
02:42I didn't know how to feel about it.
02:44At the end of the day, I stayed 100.
02:46Until you showed me up.
02:48And likewise, that was the same thing.
02:50We both said some hurtful s*** to each other.
02:52Mm-hmm.
02:53Essie told me about an interview that Latrice had
02:57where she was saying that all the Belles were just coworkers.
03:00I made a comment that the Belles were my coworkers
03:03and not really my real friends.
03:06Those are facts.
03:07We're just coworkers.
03:09I was just very hurt by that because
03:11we were great friends, I thought.
03:13And for me, I feel like, hey,
03:15treat me the same way in public as you do in private.
03:18By me and you being friends,
03:20do I not always say, f*** them bitches?
03:22You knew exactly what I meant
03:24and that I was not referring to you.
03:26I knew that.
03:27But when it's on a public platform
03:29and you're talking about,
03:30I don't mess with none of them L's.
03:32I don't mess with none of them B's.
03:33I'm a part of the B's.
03:34Mm-hmm.
03:35Tisha's making a big deal out of
03:37basically me saying that they were coworkers.
03:40I mean, I just feel like this is a front
03:42because, Tisha, you've been feeling this type of way about me
03:44and you just needed anything
03:46to bring it to the front.
03:48That's literally where my issue started with you
03:50and then a whole string of things
03:52up until reunion to where
03:54my sister literally stood in front of me
03:56and tried to fight me.
03:58You know me and you don't want to do this.
04:00Girl, please, girl, you ain't nothing but an insecure b****.
04:03What the f*** am I insecure about?
04:05Girl, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't.
04:07What is my insecure about?
04:08You insecure.
04:10You insecure.
04:11I take accountability
04:13for my actions on that.
04:15I don't know, I just really want us to move forward
04:17and see how can we do that
04:19because there were hurtful things said on both ends.
04:21Mm-hmm.
04:22That was like a breakup
04:23and I don't want to cry
04:25because I've been crying, you know,
04:27and it was very hurtful
04:28and I don't want, you know,
04:30us to be in this space
04:32because I really value our friendship.
04:35You know what I'm saying?
04:36I really did
04:37and I do miss it, you know.
04:39I really do.
04:40I'm definitely willing to work on it,
04:42you know, because I know,
04:43like, I know your heart.
04:44I know.
04:45We just have to build back up.
04:46Yeah.
04:47Hearing Latrice say
04:48that she's willing to work on the relationship,
04:50the friendship,
04:51it's great.
04:52If me and Latrice can come back,
04:54I mean, anything,
04:56anything is possible for the collective.
04:58Me and her, we are setting the example.
05:00Since you invited me, honey,
05:02I know you're going to pay for the bill.
05:03I will.
05:04Sure.
05:05I got a book.
05:06You're a big money's t-shirt, honey.
05:07Book that t-shirt.
05:09You still don't trust t-shirts.
05:11No, I do not.
05:12I still do not trust t-shirts.
05:30Today, I am doing a photo shoot
05:32for my new pajama line.
05:35That is a collection of bamboo pajamas
05:37and it is perfect for women
05:40who, as we like to say down here,
05:42are going through the change.
05:44Y'all got to see these.
05:45Y'all have to feel this material.
05:47It is absolutely amazing.
05:48It cools your body.
05:49I was telling my mom about the pajamas
05:51because she, at home,
05:54is not very fun when she's having her flash.
05:57So you just going to remind me
05:58that I'm at the same age as your mama?
06:00Okay.
06:01Well...
06:02I'm over 40,
06:03and that's normally
06:04when perimenopause happens.
06:06Well, come to find out,
06:08I am in full-blown menopause,
06:10and I'm actually post-menopausal.
06:13It's scary, y'all.
06:14I'm telling you,
06:15I only thought menopause
06:16came with hot flashes.
06:18And I started having heart palpitations.
06:20Like, my left arm wasn't feeling right.
06:23So I thought I was having a heart attack.
06:26I could not believe that all this stuff,
06:28that the symptoms that we think
06:30are stroke and heart attack,
06:31it's also menopause symptoms.
06:33Akisha!
06:35Hey!
06:36How are you?
06:37How are you?
06:38Thank you so much for coming.
06:40You're welcome.
06:41Welcome to Mississippi.
06:43I'm excited to have the designer
06:45and creator of Bamboo Sleep here.
06:47And, of course,
06:48I cannot do a photo session in Mississippi
06:50without having my boy,
06:52Will Sterling here,
06:53who is one of the best photographers
06:55in the world.
06:57Let's start here.
06:58She gave us a starting point.
07:00Ready?
07:01Yeah, I like this.
07:02Playing with the hair,
07:03looking back.
07:04I like that.
07:06Hurry up, get it.
07:08Hurry up, get it.
07:09I'm stopping by Akisha's photo shoot today.
07:12We just came off of
07:13the collective corrector.
07:15We're good,
07:16but we're coming off of some stuff
07:18that was said that wasn't so true.
07:20And I want to let her know
07:21we're going to get this cleared up today
07:23because we're not the potsters.
07:25Yeah!
07:27Cutie!
07:28Honey!
07:29I'm on my bamboo.
07:31I'm here for it all!
07:33All right, guys,
07:34we're going to take a five-minute break.
07:36Sounds good.
07:37This is so cute!
07:39Did I tell you that I was doing a pajama line?
07:41Let me tell you something.
07:42This saved my marriage, Tisha.
07:44How did it save your marriage?
07:45Because Willie runs hot.
07:47I'm having hot flashes.
07:48Yeah!
07:49This keeps us in the bed together.
07:51Look, when you get to that stage in your life,
07:53you're going to look for anything
07:54to help you get comfortable.
07:56I want to move forward,
07:57but I did want to say this.
07:59When you and Latrice were feuding,
08:00she told me that you and Glenn
08:02were making the fake social media page.
08:05So in order for us to move forward,
08:07I just want to get past that
08:09and get your side of it
08:11because I want to know what really happened.
08:13Not the DM conversation anymore.
08:15Like, really?
08:17I've told her several times I did not do that.
08:19You and your husband were trying to set my husband up.
08:22Well, where did that come from?
08:24I heard it from Latrice.
08:25What we were doing?
08:27Girl, I don't know.
08:28I got amnesia now.
08:30You and Glenn were not trying to set Willie up?
08:32No, we were not trying to set Willie up.
08:34How would I even get to Willie?
08:36Now, I didn't do that to you and Willie.
08:38I'm not in the business of tearing down nobody's marriage.
08:40I went through something myself.
08:42Mm-hmm.
08:43I'm not going to come for anybody's marriage.
08:45Here we go again.
08:47Any chance there's an opportunity
08:49for her to make me look bad,
08:51she'll do it.
08:52So since the correction,
08:54have you and Latrice had a conversation
08:56and sort of been able to come together
08:58Yeah.
08:59So y'all are good?
09:00Yeah, we're good.
09:01Okay, so the only person that we all need
09:03to have a conversation with is Marie.
09:05You know, there's still an issue, of course,
09:07between Marie and Tamara.
09:09There's still an issue, of course,
09:10between Latrice and Marie.
09:12I'm determined to mend Latrice and Marie's friendship.
09:15It tarnishes the entire collective.
09:18To show that we cannot even be a sisterhood
09:20within the collective,
09:21then how the hell are we going to inspire somebody else?
09:24Well, listen, Willie's birthday is here.
09:26So, yes, and this is going to be
09:28his first time celebrating in Jackson.
09:30I'm thinking I want to do like,
09:31just like a gathering,
09:32maybe a fish fry or something,
09:33because he's going to be back here this weekend.
09:35Okay, okay.
09:36So I'll let you know
09:37when I decide exactly what we're going to do.
09:39Then I'm going to send a text out to everybody.
09:40Okay, yeah, thank you.
09:42I'm excited to go.
09:43I don't have a problem walking into a room with anybody.
09:46So thank you for the invite, boo.
09:47I'm going to come and enjoy.
09:49Have fun.
09:50All right, thank you.
09:51All right, see you later.
09:52Okay, have a good one.
09:53You too.
09:54Coming up...
09:55But how are you?
09:56I'm okay.
09:57I don't believe it.
09:58We get hit with one of the biggest storms of the season,
10:02and now my family and me are sitting in the dark.
10:05If you could just help me pack this up,
10:07pack their clothes up,
10:08and do what needs to be done,
10:09then I'll be okay.
10:10I feel like you don't value my opinion.
10:12I'm the male.
10:13You're the female.
10:14So the female need to be here,
10:15and the male need to be here.
10:16Their attitude,
10:17their behavior,
10:18their behavior,
10:19their behavior,
10:20their behavior,
10:21their behavior,
10:22their behavior,
10:23their attitude.
10:24When I'm wearing the pants and I'm hanging real high,
10:26I'm hanging low,
10:27I'm that mother...
10:28Did you talk to Latrice?
10:29Oh, yeah, where's Latrice?
10:34Hey, is that Selena?
10:35Yeah.
10:36Did you know she was coming?
10:37Oh, so that's your plus one?
10:39I can't believe that.
10:40Hello, Selena.
10:41Two, three.
10:42Turn it up a notch,
10:44turn it up a notch.
10:45Everybody pouring up,
10:46pouring up shots.
10:47We so rich,
10:48we so paid.
10:50We get money,
10:51we get laid.
10:53What?
10:54You washing dishes, honey?
10:56Oh, and I got a drink.
10:58Mike is my fiance.
11:00Yes, I'm engaged to this sexy,
11:03fine,
11:04chocolate man
11:05by the name of Michael Foltz.
11:07Michael is laid back,
11:09he's cool,
11:10he's supportive,
11:11and he get on my nerves now,
11:13a lot.
11:14But he's just a stand-up guy,
11:16and he's someone that I would love
11:17to spend the rest of my life with.
11:19Okay.
11:20Don't be smiling at me like that.
11:22So what's going on?
11:24Not much,
11:25just looking at some wedding stuff,
11:27and how am I going to put
11:29a full wedding together?
11:32That's going to be stressful.
11:34So many decisions.
11:35I need a wedding planner,
11:36but I would probably be
11:37like bridezilla.
11:38That's on y'all, doesn't it?
11:40It don't matter.
11:41Uh-uh.
11:42Let y'all handle that.
11:43You're going to let us
11:44handle that.
11:45Uh-huh.
11:46You're going to stress me out.
11:47My man said it's going to be
11:48all on me,
11:49I'm not going to stress him out.
11:50Your friend's going to help
11:51you out with that.
11:52They've been asking you
11:53for a whole year.
11:54They don't mean nothing.
11:55They can just be asking,
11:56when is the wedding?
11:57I am going to come up with a date
11:59and see if that works for you.
12:02Oh, okay then.
12:03It's all good.
12:04I like my ex.
12:06My fiancé is a man of few words,
12:09and I'm feeling it,
12:10and I'm so ready
12:11to marry this man,
12:13and he is definitely
12:14ready to marry me.
12:15So what else going on?
12:17Not much, you know,
12:19besides all the family drama
12:21that I'm so sick of.
12:24The drama with Shantae,
12:26that altercation really has,
12:29like, torn my family
12:30completely apart.
12:32The girl's father,
12:33he's not talking to them.
12:35He said they have to have
12:36a relationship with Shantae first
12:38in order to get to him.
12:40And I know my girls
12:41want their father
12:42to be a part of their lives.
12:43I don't feel like my girls
12:45should have to go through
12:48his wife to get to him.
12:51You would never allow me
12:52to come in between
12:54you and your kids,
12:56and it's the same for me.
12:57I wouldn't do no
12:58s*** like that.
12:59I know you wouldn't.
13:00Hell.
13:01I just want us to just come
13:02to some type of common ground.
13:03I mean, we're still family
13:04at the end of the day,
13:05regardless of who don't say it well,
13:07who don't do it well,
13:08or whatever.
13:09But I can't fix it by myself,
13:10and neither can the girls.
13:12I just hate my girls
13:13have to go through that.
13:14Makes me sad.
13:15Hopefully they'll work
13:16that s*** up, man.
13:17I don't know.
13:19I'm just gonna pray on it,
13:22and we're just gonna go to bed.
13:43Everything looking good,
13:45but did y'all bring
13:46the palm tree?
13:47Well, you got them ordered.
13:48We haven't picked them up yet.
13:49Okay, all right.
13:50So we gotta get
13:51the palm tree in.
13:52All is good.
13:53Everything is looking good.
13:54As long as you happy, we happy.
13:56Okay, I wanna be happy.
13:59Since the reunion,
14:00there has been a lot of changes.
14:02For one,
14:03Goddess Lens is moving accordingly.
14:05We're about to have
14:06our grand opening,
14:07and we purchased
14:08another building,
14:09and now we're doing
14:10a restaurant.
14:11I can't play this housewife s***
14:12if I gotta f***ing work.
14:14Everything look good to me.
14:15Everything look perfect.
14:16These the plants we chose?
14:18Yeah.
14:19Okay, so as far as like
14:21the palm trees,
14:23it's like a lot in one area.
14:26So how would it be
14:27if we take the palm tree,
14:29like one of the palm trees?
14:30We're not taking the palm trees.
14:32I just bought another palm tree
14:33to put over there
14:34to match the palm tree.
14:35It's the idea to give you
14:36the island look
14:37when you come to backyard.
14:39This not the vibe
14:40that I'm going for.
14:41I want like an oasis look.
14:44The palm trees are oasis.
14:46Yeah, let's go over here
14:47and have a conversation.
14:48So you guys can go ahead
14:49and do what you're doing.
14:50Yeah.
14:51You're difficult.
14:53Me and my husband,
14:54while doing these projects together,
14:56it gets a little difficult
14:58because he has his way,
14:59his strong opinions,
15:00and I have my way.
15:02And right now,
15:03it feels like we have
15:04a d*** measuring contest.
15:06I think my d*** is bigger.
15:08I only think I ask
15:09is for you to consult with me.
15:11Like I'm the woman of the house.
15:13I'm the man of the yard.
15:14So if I'm going to do the yard,
15:16why I got to consult with you?
15:18Because I'm your wife.
15:20This is what I'm talking about.
15:21Like even with the restaurant,
15:23I feel like you don't value my opinion.
15:25And I honestly,
15:26I think it's like
15:27an ego thing with you
15:28because you feel like
15:29because you are a man,
15:31you have to have to say so
15:32in everything.
15:33I'm a man.
15:34Versus consulting
15:35and compromising with your wife.
15:36You're a woman.
15:37Out of me,
15:38a woman came from real.
15:39You come from my real,
15:40so you should follow my lead.
15:41I don't come from your real.
15:43Look, I come from my mama and dad,
15:44Gloria and Walter.
15:46I don't think you understand
15:47how much stress I'm under, right?
15:49I'm dealing with a lot
15:50when it comes to the restaurant
15:51Goddess Lens
15:52because I'm trying to open up
15:53Goddess Lens
15:54and I want to do like
15:56the south opening
15:57for Taste Bar and Grill
15:59the same time.
16:00So let's talk about like
16:02who's going to run
16:03the restaurant business.
16:05I understand you're doing like the...
16:08You said you're going to hire the girls,
16:10waitress and everything.
16:11You want that power.
16:12I give you the power.
16:14Give me what power?
16:15Give me a power?
16:16Give you the authority
16:18to hire...
16:19You ain't give me nothing
16:20of something that I own.
16:22I'm the male.
16:24You the female.
16:25So the female need to be here
16:26and the male need to be here.
16:28This is what I'm saying.
16:29Like their attitude.
16:30What?
16:31I'm that...
16:34I'm not walking around
16:35with a dress on.
16:36I'm not wearing a pants
16:37and I'm hanging real high.
16:38I'm hanging low.
16:39I'm that mother...
16:41Working with my husband
16:42in business
16:43has its pros and cons.
16:45Of course the cons,
16:46we argue about
16:47every single thing
16:48and we have to take it
16:49home with us.
16:50It's like sometimes
16:51you wake up,
16:52have a dream
16:53and it turns into a nightmare.
16:55He loves working with me.
16:56Like I love him.
16:57I like him.
16:58I love him.
16:59He's like,
17:00I'm the man.
17:01I'm the man.
17:02I'm the man.
17:03I'm the man.
17:04I'm the man.
17:05I'm the man.
17:06I'm the man.
17:07I'm the man.
17:08I'm the man.
17:09I'm the man.
17:10She loves working with me.
17:11I ain't got no choice but to work with you.
17:13The grand opening of Goddess Lens,
17:15I was trying to figure out, like, which one of the bells
17:17that I'll invite.
17:19And, you know, I know you feel a type of way about them.
17:22You know, Akeesha sent me a text message the other day,
17:26and she had this whole collective correction thing
17:29with all of the girls.
17:31Y'all trying to destroy each other,
17:32instead of lifting each other up.
17:33That's what I said.
17:34How did I try to destroy a single girl?
17:35I'm just saying, y'all, I ain't calling no name.
17:38I don't pick signs.
17:39I just speak the truth.
17:41So, based on everything that the bells have done and said,
17:44do you ever think that you will mess with them
17:46or can be in the same room with them again?
17:48I don't mess with them, period.
17:51I can't even get mad at my husband at this point.
17:53If Cliff doesn't want to be my plus one
17:54for Willie's birthday party,
17:56I might have to find another plus one
17:58for this little shindig.
18:00Well, one thing about you, baby,
18:01I know you gonna keep it real.
18:03That's the bell collective, what I'm trying to tell you.
18:05The best handpick in Mississippi, right?
18:07Let's see what the worst one look like.
18:09♪♪♪♪
18:14-♪♪♪♪
18:19-♪♪♪♪
18:24-♪♪♪♪
18:28I am so not prepared for this storm.
18:31The week that my husband
18:32is supposed to be returning to Jackson,
18:35we get hit with one of the biggest storms of the season.
18:39So what does that do?
18:40Delay my husband's flight.
18:43Fortunately, I don't have any damage to my home,
18:46but there's a transformer
18:48and an electrical line down in my neighbor's yard.
18:51This is why I don't have any damn lights.
18:56I just don't know what I'm gonna do.
18:58I'm starting to get a little stressed.
19:06-♪♪♪♪
19:10Gucci and JJ are coming over
19:13to help me clean out my refrigerator.
19:15Ooh, the ants.
19:18And pack up so my kids and I can go to a hotel.
19:21I hope Akisha got something to eat in here.
19:23I don't know.
19:24She got these goddamn ants on me.
19:26I know that.
19:27What is all this ruckus?
19:28We don't do this around these houses.
19:29What big with that?
19:30Ants don't got up on me.
19:31What took y'all so long to get here?
19:32Y'all don't have no electricity over here.
19:34Well, the thing is, ever since that damn eclipse,
19:37my whole life has been lining up right.
19:39Yeah, I see your face, bitch, though.
19:40I'm in here looking like I fell out a tree.
19:43So y'all lights didn't go out?
19:44Girl, we got a generator.
19:45You still got it nice and cozy up in here.
19:48I'm trying to clean.
19:49I like when the lights go out.
19:51Because see, y'all gets each other.
19:52My man ain't here.
19:54I know how y'all do.
19:55Y'all ain't invite me into none of y'all little stuff.
19:56Yeah.
19:58Yeah.
19:59Big Willie has been out of town,
20:01and he's getting ready to have this birthday party.
20:04And of course, me and So Gucci are not
20:06going to be able to come, because we
20:07got a big event in Chicago.
20:09So we wanted to show our respect by coming
20:12by, doing a little something special for Big Willie.
20:15So what happened is, we feel bad because we ain't going to be
20:18here for the birthday party.
20:20So I wanted to make sure that I can contribute
20:22something to you all.
20:23Bam!
20:24I got Big Willie on whip.
20:26I got you some handcuffs and a powder.
20:28What the fuck?
20:31So y'all want to do some kinky.
20:34You know we Leo's now.
20:36You know what time it is, Akisha.
20:37JJ say happy birthday.
20:39I wish you were here to give this to him.
20:41And then, this is for Big Willie.
20:43Kucha and a can.
20:45Kucha and a can.
20:46God darn it, you can get it.
20:47God darn it, I don't know if you like the bullshit,
20:48but you can get the bullshit.
20:50Make it look like you're getting the bullshit.
20:51Down there, you know, just shitting
20:53on my top a little bit.
20:54That's how you do it, right?
20:55And do it like this, right here.
20:56God darn it.
20:57I'm telling y'all, y'all don't knock it until you try it.
20:59So God darn it, when you ain't ready, he can stay ready.
21:03JJ, I have a koochie.
21:05I don't need no koochie and a can.
21:08Oh my goodness.
21:09What I want y'all to correct is have me
21:11playing this damn refrigerator before we get on.
21:13I'll do a little, bitch.
21:15I ain't want to do too much.
21:16You got something to eat?
21:17Bitch, I got something to eat when all my shit
21:19about to spoil, I mean.
21:20I'm hungry, girl.
21:21I'm going to have to get one of these banana.
21:22This is fine.
21:23This is fine.
21:24So then, y'all come over here with that shit
21:25and didn't bring no food.
21:27We sorry, Akisha.
21:28Next time, we'll bring God darn koochie and a can.
21:31A greenies and a can.
21:32With a side of mashed potatoes.
21:34Akisha, I just got to tell you.
21:36I work hard all day.
21:37Oh, you got to tell this story.
21:38I got to tell this story.
21:39And God darn it, I came home.
21:40I'm just spanking.
21:41You know, every time I come, you know,
21:42I'm always bringing something to eat if she don't cook.
21:45This particular time, she didn't cook.
21:47And you know what I ate for supper?
21:48What?
21:49Some roasted peanuts and popcorn.
21:52And she want to give me popcorn again.
21:54You got to do better, because your man want to tie, girl.
21:55With you every day.
21:56And now she going to give me popcorn.
21:59So you know you're going to have to do better than that.
22:01I know, Akisha. I was tired, girl.
22:02I had so much to do.
22:03I have clients calling me.
22:04You don't have to tell me.
22:06I'm down here by myself.
22:08With my kids.
22:09The damn light's off.
22:10I got it.
22:12I understand about being busy, child.
22:14You just like my husband.
22:15You want to be the Leo and just want to handle everything.
22:17Well, if I don't handle it, it's not going to get handled.
22:19You're dealing with a lot.
22:20This Ferris Street thing is big.
22:22I just need to check on you.
22:24Listen, this is what I'm trying to say to you.
22:26I'm OK.
22:27I don't believe it.
22:30You're not OK.
22:31I am OK.
22:32I'm just saying, if you could just help me,
22:34pack this up, pack their clothes up,
22:35and do what needs to be done, then I'll be OK.
22:38It's just so much happening right now.
22:41And it's all coming down on me at once.
22:45I'm sorry, friend.
22:46I know you need, I've been needing someone to call too.
22:51Coming up.
22:52Willie, I've been here with these kids.
22:53Whoa, whoa, whoa.
22:54Your range of emotions are aggressive.
22:56That is what menopause does to you.
22:59So you need to go on this journey with me
23:01so I'll know how to teach my daughter how to go through it.
23:04Holly's two.
23:05You haven't talked to Marie?
23:06Oh, I can't never do that.
23:08I want y'all to have a conversation.
23:09So you think this is the appropriate time?
23:11If not now, when?
23:13Girl, why are you pressing me to have
23:14a conversation with Tamra?
23:16I am over her.
23:17I really wanted Marie and Latrice
23:20for y'all to get together.
23:21So can we please just do that?
23:22Oh, that's a fucking no.
23:26You know I had to hustle just to make it here.
23:29If you can make it here, you'll make it anywhere.
23:32Early mornings and long flights.
23:35Long days and long nights.
23:38Let's play who wins the game of cleaning up.
23:42Yes, that's a great game.
23:46Sweep it this way.
23:52There you go.
23:53He's using that one.
23:54Holly, William, come in for breakfast.
23:56The lights are back on.
23:58Willie is home.
23:59The kids are happy.
24:00And I feel like a weight has just
24:02been lifted off my shoulders.
24:04He was in the airport for 12 hours.
24:07Because of this storm that hit Jackson,
24:08I had to move Willie's birthday party from our home
24:11to an outdoor park.
24:13So I think this is a perfect replacement.
24:17I'm glad you're here to clean that up.
24:19What the hell is this?
24:21You did not see that when you came in here last night?
24:23No.
24:24That's from your good friend, your BFF, JJ.
24:29This is a spank me kit.
24:30Well, Gucci got that for me.
24:32And this is what, um, yeah.
24:36That's what JJ got for you.
24:38You can keep your beer cold with it.
24:40No, it's to keep your mister warm in.
24:44I thought it was a flashlight.
24:45No, this is Coochie in a can.
24:48Coochie in a can?
24:50JJ is by far one of the freakiest
24:52SOBs I've ever met.
24:53JJ will talk about stuff and see stuff.
24:56Well, I'm like, bro, your hair says enough,
24:58but your gift says a lot.
25:00Oh, JJ demonstrated for me.
25:01But he ain't never touched it, right?
25:03No, it's brand new. I didn't even open it.
25:04I want you to open it.
25:05It look like it had been used.
25:06But I appreciate my boy JJ for looking out.
25:09He understood my needs.
25:10Some things ain't, you don't share everything.
25:13And he brought you this?
25:14So they know we ain't been doing it.
25:17That's what they say?
25:18They know that we've been a little bit apart.
25:20They know that you need to get on your horse.
25:23I need to get on my horse,
25:24but I had to get healthy and physically fit
25:26to get on that horse.
25:27Yeah, you need to pop that thing for Jesus
25:29and come save me.
25:30I popped it for you last night
25:30when you got off that airplane at midnight.
25:32Well, thank God.
25:34You know what, you're full of shit.
25:35I just really think that he is a man
25:38and he feels that his sexual needs
25:41come before anything else.
25:43I will try to put that on my list too, Willie Cologne.
25:47So just chill.
25:49So listen, we have a full day.
25:52I'm gonna need you to get the kids and stuff together
25:54because I have to leave.
25:55I'm going to the store and I got errands
25:57and then I'm gonna come back.
25:58So you're leaving me with the kids?
25:59Willie, I've been here with these kids for two weeks.
26:01Whoa, whoa, whoa.
26:02No, don't say-
26:03Who turned up the volume in this party?
26:04Because you gonna turn it up talking about,
26:06oh, you're leaving me with the kids?
26:07He ain't seen them in two weeks, physically rather.
26:09Fine, Mom.
26:10Dress the kids, take the kids.
26:12Where are we going?
26:13We gonna be out in the park.
26:14I met with the ladies.
26:15I got everybody.
26:16So all of them are gonna be here today.
26:18Oh, good game.
26:19I mean, I invited all of them.
26:20I don't know who all is coming
26:22because Gucci and JJ are in Chicago,
26:23which JJ already told you that.
26:26I invited Latrice.
26:27So, you know, maybe Cliff will come.
26:29Maybe he won't.
26:30I invited Latisha.
26:31I invited Marie.
26:32We all know if you've been keeping your antennas
26:35or your ear to the ground,
26:36when the bells get together,
26:37sometimes it gets a little feisty.
26:40It's fish fried.
26:42It's gonna be a little easy.
26:42It's gonna be a lot of eating.
26:43It's gonna be some drinking.
26:44The weather's finally gorgeous.
26:46So I'm praying everything goes well.
26:48Hey, so seriously,
26:48I know that we're getting everything kind of in order,
26:51but let's check in with you.
26:53How's your pre-menopause going?
26:56My perimenopause?
26:56Your perimenopause, I'm sorry.
26:59Well, and you don't remember,
27:01but I, after that last blood work came back with Dr. Ray,
27:07I'm like post-menopause.
27:09I was confused and tried to be sensitive
27:12to what she was going through.
27:12I didn't understand the hot flashes.
27:14I didn't understand the heart palpitations.
27:16I didn't understand the sweats.
27:18All I understood, you kept saying no,
27:20especially with, you know, what we was trying to do.
27:23Yeah, but now that I know what it is,
27:25I'm not having the worry and anxiety.
27:28Like, is it my heart?
27:29Is it my arm?
27:29Is it my brain?
27:30Is it whatever?
27:31Because you remember I had sudden abortment
27:32with the neurologist because my head was hurting.
27:34Yeah, I thought you was going crazy.
27:36I'm not going crazy,
27:37but I just thought you were losing it.
27:38Well, not that.
27:39Because Willie, you never, ever take anything serious.
27:42When I say something wrong with me-
27:42How do you take it serious?
27:43Makisha, you go from baby, I love you.
27:45Things are so great.
27:47You're doing so well to like,
27:48the world is coming down.
27:49I don't know how we're going to make it.
27:50So your range of emotions are aggressive.
27:53That is what menopause does to you.
27:56I don't have menopause.
27:57But I do.
27:58And you married to me.
27:59So you need to go on this journey with me
28:02so I'll know how to teach my daughter how to go through it.
28:04Holly's too.
28:06Akisha's transition into menopause
28:08has affected our intimacy.
28:10I'm used to my wife being an absolute superstar
28:14on that barrel.
28:15When that's turned down,
28:17it makes you feel like,
28:18well, damn, what's going on?
28:20And if you take that approach,
28:22that's when the dragon comes out.
28:23And that's when she will set you on fire.
28:26So I'm just like, all right,
28:27I'm just going to scurry over here
28:28and then tap me when you're ready.
28:29Well, now that we know you ain't dying,
28:31can I get some more cooking and loving?
28:32Yes, you can.
28:33See?
28:34You can.
28:35Let's get back on your horse, Akisha.
28:35You made it.
28:36Yep.
28:37You got through the woods.
28:38It's nothing but beach.
28:39Beach, beach, beach, beach, beach, beach, beach, beach, beach.
28:43♪ Back it up, back it up, back it up, back it up, back it up ♪
28:57Oh, hey, y'all!

29:09Thank you, baby.
29:10We are out in front of this water at the park.
29:13Willie loves seafood.
29:14And listen, I called my best friend, Shamika's husband,
29:16and he can fry some fish, honey.
29:19I'm hoping everybody comes in the best spirits
29:21because we're going to have a good time.

29:41I love me some fish.
29:43Down south fish, deep fried.
29:45So we're here.
29:47Let's see what's going on.
29:48Yeah, we just had a fish fry.
29:50Yeah!
29:50How you doing?
29:51How you doing?
29:52Happy birthday!
29:53Hey, thank you.
29:54Thank you for being here.
29:55These my best friends.
29:56This is Shamika's husband.
29:58How'd that water treat me?
29:59It treated me.
30:00It did?
30:01Treated me to something.
30:02How long you here for?
30:03Two weeks.
30:04Oh, okay.
30:05Yeah, man.
30:05I was 33, 34.
30:07Yeah, I wish, man.
30:08I'm turning to be 41.
30:10Yeah!
30:11Are you older than me?
30:12I'm older than you.
30:13Oh.
30:14Oh, check this.
30:16I don't know.
30:17You don't know his age?
30:18No, I don't know his age.
30:20I ain't his daddy.
30:20All right, well, I gotta use the bathroom real quick.
30:23And it's just, every time I get around the colognes,
30:25I just see him right there.
30:26I'm just like,
30:27Oh, who are you?
30:30Do you have any grape popcorn, please?
30:33I have two Super Bowl rings.
30:35How did we get here?
30:36I hated here.
30:37So who all you invite?
30:39I invited everybody.
30:39Tamra, Latrice.
30:40So Gucci and JJ are in Chicago.
30:42But they came up-
30:43Oh, I know JJ.
30:44Oh, God.
30:45Well, he came to the house
30:46and bought him a little birthday gift.
30:47Oh.
30:48Have you ever heard of coochie in a can?
30:49What's coochie in a can?
30:51It's like you can get either a mouth, hand,
30:53or, yeah, but JJ, mm-hmm.
30:56They freaky, honey.
30:58Can coochie.
30:59Can coochie.
31:00It vibrate, it light up.
31:01Coochie in a can should be for everybody.
31:02You got coochie right here.
31:03You don't have to get in the can.
31:04Listen, I was stuck in the airport for 12 hours.
31:06I could've used some coochie in a can.
31:09♪ We both turn it up, up ♪
31:12♪ Yeah, all the way up, up ♪
31:19Look at Marie Monroe walking down here.
31:21I love me some catfish,
31:23so I am excited to be here
31:24and catch up with the collective.
31:26I talk to Leticia every other day,
31:28but I have not seen the other girls since the reunion.
31:32Hey, doctor.
31:33Hey, how you doing?
31:33Happy birthday.
31:34Thank you, I appreciate you.
31:35I don't feel any type of way about being around the ladies.
31:39I've moved on and I'm at peace in my life
31:41and I'm moving forward.
31:43Thank you for coming.
31:43I have not seen you.
31:44I know.
31:45You look so pretty.
31:46You look so beautiful.
31:47I'm loving the green.
31:48Your eyes are already popping, huh?
31:49Girl, I was running.
31:50I didn't get to get me makeup or anything
31:52because this week has been crazy.
31:53The storm knocked my power out.
31:55Oh, no way.
31:56It was just like, when I was feeling like you,
31:58where you'd be like, it's this, it's this, it's that.
31:59But today, look, the sun shall rise again.
32:02At the end of a storm, there's a rainbow.
32:05Yes.
32:06Uh-oh.
32:14Hey, Pampera.
32:16So I don't get London Simone, I just get you?
32:18Yeah, you just get me.
32:19Did you see me say, bring your special person?
32:22You should have said kid.
32:24I'm still learning.
32:25We're at the bar.
32:26You can't give it up.
32:27Listen, if it say adults only,
32:29that mean without your baby.
32:30But other than that, you bring that baby.
32:32I'm not used to, you still say baby.
32:33Bring the baby.
32:35I am very protective.
32:36This is my very first child,
32:38so I know she has to go out in the world,
32:42but I just wanna shield her for as long as possible.
32:47So, anyway, Tamra, Dr. Marie, you guys know each other?
32:53Hello?
32:54Excuse me, you ain't texting that much.
32:57Pardon me, my daughter's at the clinic.
32:59Oh, okay.
33:00She said her father doesn't have her medicine.
33:01All right, because I want y'all to see, you know.
33:03I see Marie.
33:05You don't wanna know my thoughts.
33:06But I will say, honey, next time I do know,
33:09I need to ask Akeisha about her guest list, for sure.
33:11You haven't talked to Marie?
33:13You haven't talked to her since then?
33:15So, you don't plan on speaking to y'all?
33:17Nothing.
33:18Come on, you have a daughter
33:19that we're setting an example for,
33:21and you can forget, you don't have to forget.
33:24Oh, I can never do that.
33:26How are all of us gonna be able to be in one place,
33:28and you not talking to her,
33:29and Latree's not talking to her, and I'm not talking to her?
33:31We're in the same place.
33:32Yeah, but we divided.
33:34We're not into whispering and shit.
33:36I'm glad Akeisha is trying to be the bigger person
33:40in everything right now.
33:42I can honestly say,
33:44the things that Marie has done,
33:46I would not do to my worst enemy.
33:48This guy reached out to the collective,
33:51and he wanted us to know that you are a compulsive liar,
33:55and you fabricating your life.
33:57I have moved on,
33:58and for someone who literally tried to hurt me,
34:03girl, I'm not doing this.
34:07My mom always taught me,
34:08if you have nothing nice to say,
34:10don't say anything at all.
34:11I want y'all to have a conversation.
34:13Not a he say, she say,
34:15pointing fingers, going back and forth.
34:16I have too many positives going on in my life right now,
34:19and I'm not trying to backtrack
34:20and talk about old stuff that I've already talked about.
34:23Girl, why you keep pressing me
34:25to have a conversation with Tamra?
34:27Is this for me, or is this for you?
34:30Like, I'm not gonna create a problem
34:31when it's not a problem.
34:32That's fine.
34:34You know what?
34:35I'm gonna let you have it for real.
34:36We good.
34:37How that fish looking over there?
34:38Baby, it's getting ready.
34:39Because it's smelling good.
34:41It is smelling good.
34:43Oh, yeah, come on, get some of this hot fish.
34:45Babe, let me tell the birthday boys, huh?
34:47Oh, this fish so good.
34:48I thank y'all for coming.
34:49I'm gonna-
34:50Yeah, absolutely.
34:51No, thank you for inviting us.
34:52Mm, mm.
34:53Speaking of, did you talk to Latrice?
34:55Oh, yeah.
34:56Where's Latrice?
34:57♪ You better ask about me ♪
35:00♪ They'll tell you what it is ♪
35:02♪ Ask about me ♪
35:03♪ Actually grew up in a place in the rain, uh-uh ♪
35:06♪ Made them see stars in the back seat ♪

35:14Hey, is that Selena?
35:16Is that Selena?
35:17Yeah.
35:18Did you know she was coming?
35:19I don't know.
35:21Hello, Selena.
35:23I can't believe that.
35:28♪ Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh ♪
35:35♪ Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh ♪
35:38Wow.
35:39Showing up in black.
35:40That's nice.
35:41Is that Selena?
35:42Yeah.
35:43So maybe Sogouchi shouldn't have been here.
35:46My husband is not here with me today
35:48because he don't **** with any of the women.
35:50I'm bringing Selena because
35:52if we're talking about being a collective in forgiveness
35:55then I think it should start here.
35:57If we're forgiving, let's forgive everybody.
35:59Hello, Selena.
36:01Don't y'all come sashaying y'all's asses in here late?
36:05Oh, so that's your plus one?
36:07I thought you were bringing your husband
36:08and you brought Selena.
36:11I don't even think Latrice knew
36:12that Gucci was not gonna be here.
36:15Come up in here late, sashaying and s**t.
36:17Yeah, I probably am not giving it to y'all.
36:19But where you was going, though?
36:20Because we was coming to the party.
36:21So you had to get beat, put your heels on,
36:23and you said party.
36:25I said, Trace Park.
36:28You look cute, though.
36:29Hi.
36:30Hi.
36:31Hello.
36:32What's up, girl?
36:33Hey, mama.
36:34Latrice pops up in 80 degree weather
36:37and a faux leather dress.
36:40Like, somebody needs to check this chick's temperature.
36:43Or is she okay?
36:46Hi, sweetie.
36:46Hi, baby.
36:47How you doing?
36:48How you doing?
36:49Oh, I've been knowing Selena for a very long time.
36:53I think Selena is a good person.
36:55She's very sweet.
36:56And she don't have anything to do
36:58with the issue me and Latrice have.
37:00She can have a relationship with us both.
37:02We don't have to be friends in order for her to do that.
37:05This is so nice.
37:06It is.
37:07It was peaceful.
37:08Beautiful day.
37:09It really is.
37:10To my surprise, everybody's being actually friendly
37:13to us, so Gucci's not here.
37:16But RiRi is.
37:17Last time I saw you, you literally tried to fight me.
37:21You basically tried to make me into a husband-made bitch,
37:24and we know that's not what it is.
37:26Who you talking to?
37:26You.
37:27What the f*** you wanna do?
37:29I'll beat the brakes off your motherf***ing home.
37:31Please do.
37:32Husband-made b***h.
37:34A b***h?
37:35You wish you had a husband, b***h.
37:37I'ma stand here and what's up?
37:38I'ma be letting you down.
37:40Of course, Gucci's not here
37:41because she and JJ had to go to Chicago.
37:43I'm not pressuring anything into you.
37:45We talking about you, you know?
37:47I don't talk behind nobody's back.
37:49I've been talking to Chante, my friend,
37:53and we need to be able to move on and move forward.
37:56But I do know y'all have legal issues going on.
37:59Yes.
37:59And so I wanna be respectful of that
38:01and just see how we can make that work.
38:05Selena and I went to elementary school together.
38:09Never had an issue with Selena.
38:11The issue I have is my friend,
38:15so Gucci, and Selena cannot be in the same space.
38:19I don't want anybody feeling uncomfortable or anything
38:21because I ain't going nowhere without Gucci
38:22and it seems like her ass ain't going nowhere without you.
38:25Right.
38:26No.
38:27Right.
38:28So maybe what, like a FaceTime or something?
38:31Because y'all can't be,
38:32I know y'all can't physically be together.
38:33No, don't tell her that right now.
38:35Okay, so you need some time.
38:36No, I'm not ready for that.
38:38Okay, well in order for us to move forward,
38:40because Gucci not at this event,
38:41but she gonna be at the next one,
38:42so I don't wanna tell her to come solo
38:45because you can't come because Gucci don't be there.
38:47If that's how it has to be then,
38:49that's how it's gonna be.
38:50That's okay with me.
38:51That's how it's gonna be.
38:52Yahoo!
38:53Ah!
38:54Ah!
38:55Ah!
38:56Ah!

39:07Come over here.
39:08Why you so dinky?
39:09Baby, I'm engaged in these little beautiful babies
39:11and you know how I am.
39:12I'm just so-
39:13You are part of us.
39:14You are part of the collection.
39:15When it comes to children.
39:16So I really wanted Marie and Latrice
39:19for y'all to get together
39:20because this is a big part of the collective.
39:21Let's be clear.
39:23I understand everybody hurt.
39:24I understand things happen,
39:25but y'all we have to move forward.
39:27So can we please just do that?
39:29It's enough.
39:30And we have to remember why we started this collective.
39:32I'm personally tired of it myself.
39:34For real.
39:35And like, it's time to stop.
39:36It's not even that serious.
39:38It's not even that deep.
39:39You know what I'm saying?
39:40For you though, T-shirt.
39:42I don't understand how y'all don't hate each other,
39:47but can we just please at least the olive branch say,
39:50you know what?
39:51A fist bump.
39:52Okay, cool.
39:52We starting forward.
39:54Whatever.
39:55Can we please do that?
39:57Please.
39:58Please, I'm begging.
40:00Like, I'm really begging for both of y'all.
40:04What time is it?
40:09I'm good, T-shirt.
40:10I'm sorry, baby.
40:11Can I be dismissed?
40:15So that's a no, baby.
40:16Oh, that's a f*****g no.
40:19T-shirt.
40:20What's wrong with you?
40:22Glenn, let's go.
40:24I'm looking around at this collective.
40:26I see what it's supposed to be and it's not.
40:28We're all divided.
40:30I feel like right now I'm on an island by myself.
40:33Y'all so f*****g selfish, bro.
40:35I'm ready to go.
40:35Glenn, these mother f*****g selfish as f*****g as themselves.
40:38It's very selfish because it's not just about y'all.
40:41It's bigger than y'all.
40:46Next on Bell Collective.
40:49I'm just sick of this stuff.
40:50Like, you know, going back and forth.
40:52T-shirt, you barely back in my life.
40:54So you need to calm down.
40:56I don't play with your reputation.
40:57Don't play with mine.
40:59A lot of times I try to carry everything on my shoulder.
41:02I try to help Jay with his business.
41:04I have to do my real estate, you know.
41:06People always worried about the kids,
41:07but what about me?
41:09Friend, you heard the saying,
41:11check on your strong friends.
41:12That's why I'm here.
41:14It don't look good.
41:15It don't sound good.
41:16I'ma be okay.
41:18I can't do this without you.
41:20I quit my job.
41:22You quit?
41:23You did what?
41:24Why we in here?
41:25How?
41:26What?
