Mendeecees and Yandy have been through a lot on LHHNY.
“Love And Hip Hop New York” star Mendeecees Harris’ love story with Yandy Smith has been featured on the show. Recently, Yandy opened up about their hardships. And she revealed that it was very hard to deal with Mendeecees going to prison. At the time, their son Omere was very young.
Her stress levels were so high she became depressed. She recalled struggling to do everyday things like turn on the lights. But most importantly, she struggled to feed Omere. Things wouldn’t change until Yandy’s mother came to the house to pray for her. And she’s thankful for her mother.
Mendeecees and Samantha’s son speaks up.
Although Mendeecees’ time in prison was a hard time for the couple to go through, that situation wasn’t their only obstacle. In fact, they had a lot of drama with Mendeecees two baby mommas. Of course, this played out quite a bit on LHHNY.
Things got so bad that Samantha Wallace was actually assaulted at the reunion. It was later revealed that the attackers were Yandy’s cousin and a male acquaintance. This is something that Samantha isn’t over. Some it’s possible that the issues between the women may not have been resolved.
Interestingly enough, some fans of the show aren’t over what happened either. After someone asked if Little Mendeecees still isn’t living with Samantha, he decided to set the record straight.

It’s the fact that they tried to act like Samantha was some bum babymother and the sheeple played stupid because they was Yandy fans. Like how he always there when we only see you with him on the show… I’ve always said this but people loved to praise Yandy when she really is low down for allowing another mother to be downplayed on TV when she claim she loves her kids to death. That’s a little sick if you ask me. Thank God he’s such a loyal son and set the record straight for the clowns in the love and hip hop circus!

Samantha agreed to be portrayed in that light for a check. She did not have to sign that contract to put her or her son on reality TV.

Umm no. Samantha never agreed that she was a deadbeat parent. She always denied that on the show.

Right! And who knows if the son isn’t just protecting his Mom? I know plenty who would lie to do just that. Just saying

So by your logic, there was no valid reason you Yandy fans were on the internet crying about Chrissy getting in Yandy’s a-s right? Or Kimbella throwing that drink on her because Yandy signed up for that too right? Just keep that same energy when the show comes back.

So this can also be said about Yandy too when y’all were mad Chrissy was ready to run up on her?

Samantha dumb for allowing herself to look like that for a check. We can’t blame one woman for what another one allowed. Just my opinion.

Yandy perpetrated the lie though. And Samantha didn’t allow anything. She always defended herself when they lied about her parenting. Just like Erika defended herself when they lied on her. Did y’all forget how VH1 later exposed all the lies Yandy and Mendeecees told? It’s still on YouTube. I get they wanted a certain image but it’s not cool to lie on people to achieve that. They’re all family whether they like it or not.

I think you’re just desperate to believe the worst about Samantha because you idolize Yandy. Little Mendeecees is not a baby anymore. He’s a teenager and runs his own Instagram account.

Girl what is wrong with you? Are you that big of a stan of Yandy’s that you need to believe the worst about a black mother? This is why I can’t stand this reality television era. All y’all do is worship these people. And it’s sick. At least back in the day people idolized people for their talent. Now y’all idolize people just because they’re on TV. Newsflash, Love & Hip Hop is fake. Your own fave Yandy got on the show and faked a wedding. She also got on the show and faked changing her last name because that mugshot of hers from this year showed her last name is still Smith! Everyone lies on this show. Get over it! The worshipping is so strong you don’t even a believe a teenager writes his on comments on IG, how ridiculous!

I mean people can say Yandy has made dumb decisions too that had her looking dumb on TV and in real life. So I’m not sure why y’all are on here being hypocritical. Yandy is cool but her fans are the worst. Y’all take the pretentiousness to the next level.

Looks and sounds like Samantha allowed herself to be downplayed! No one can make you do anything you don’t want to do! She’s not stupid, money will make people do stupid things, people who don’t know who they are!

That’s ok since Yandy has downplayed herself plenty on the same show. She also played herself for a VH1 check.

I think they need to take the term reality out so that people can truly understand that this sh-t is scripted.

I get that some of you love Yandy so hating Samantha seems logical, but how do you discredit what her own son said here? He’s telling you his mother has been in his life and he’s been living with her. If he’s saying what you saw on the show wasn’t accurate, believe him. I mean Love & Hip Hop hasn’t been real in years anyway.

Why are Yandy and Mendeecees still not legally married?

I don’t know if they are or not. You’d have to ask them. That’s their business. I wonder if they’re concerned with your personal business affairs. I would think not. They’re too busy minding their own business. Try it. The best home business to start is minding your own.

After watching Yandy’s episode of Uncensored, I think I understand the situation a little bit more. She really cares a lot about what people think about her. Yandy was probably embarrassed about having babies before marriage. She knew she wouldn’t be able to marry Mendeecees legally because of all the debt he owes, so she wanted to have the wedding to make people think she was a wife. I remember how she was on IG flashing that ring all over the place just for it to later come out that she wasn’t even married. I don’t look at her any less for not being married. But I do think it was silly for her to lie about it and even have a wedding special on VH1 for something she knew wasn’t real.

Yandy herself said no matter what we think about it isn’t gonna make her any less married to that man! May not be legally married but to yandy and mendeecee they are married PERIODT!
Tracey

Cute sentiment, but no, they aren’t married. They are boyfriend and girlfriend. And Yandy’s last name is still Smith despite the fake name changing ceremony she had on the show. You can’t keep telling lies and think they eventually become real if you repeat them enough. If you’re not legally married, you’re not married.

I’m seeing a lot of spins and lies in these comments from Yandy’s fans. Very typical. It’s interesting how y’all were willing to believe she was married with no legal paperwork, but you can’t seem to believe that Mendeecees’ teenage son runs his own Instagram page. Yep, very typical.

Duh. They kept trying to make Samatha out to be this deadbeat mother who served hard prison time (false) but it’s Mendeecees who went to prison and served time. Does that make him a bad father? No. Things happen. But you could tell that a lot of their little storylines on the show were exaggerated for drama. And Yandy just said a few days ago that her contract expired. I would imagine part of her obligations included bringing the drama, even if it’s contrived. Hopefully now all these grownups are getting along for the sake of all the kids.

Yandy was good to all of Mendecees kids whether his son lived with yandy or not. Her goal was to bring all of his kids together.
