  1. I think Reginae wasn’t ready for Brandon’s mouth. He hurt her feelings and she had to run to Toya because she’s not a grown as she thinks she is.

  2. Reginae came for Brandon first. It would have been nice if he didn’t entertain her but I don’t fault him for getting her together. He’s annoying though.

  3. Reginae can’t expect everyone to sit and tolerate all that mouth she has. Welcome to the real world.
