Angel wants things to work with Rocc.

While Jackie and Angel are talking in her store, Rocc comes by to visit. He has flowers for Angel. In a green screen interview, Angel says they do have their issues. But she does feel like Rocc is her soulmate. And she wants their relationship to work out. 

Brittish is ready to date again. However, her child’s father Lorenzo hasn’t been able to handle her being with other men. And she’s hesitant to try again because he hasn’t done well with that in the past. 

Grieving continues for Jennifer.

Jennifer goes to see Patty, a pet medium. Angel and Jackie go with her. Her dog Gia died recently. And she’s devastated because they were in each other’s lives for about 17 years. What hurts, even more, is Gia got sick on Mother’s Day and she never recovered. So Jennifer is hoping that she can hear from Gia through Patty. 

Patty tells Jennifer that Gia and her mother are together now. And Jennifer’s mother is proud of her. Jennifer is also told that true love is around the corner.

Zell is confused by Brandi’s actions.

Malaysia catches up with Zell. She doesn’t like the way Brandi has been moving lately. Zell used to be friends with Brandi as well. However, they got into an argument a few months ago. And Brandi reached out to him recently wanting to hang out. Zell isn’t sure what to make of this. As for Malaysia, she just isn’t feeling how Brandi is doing things. But she is sure that she doesn’t want them to be close again.

Lorenzo cuts up. 

Duffy throws a speed dating event for all the single ladies in the group. Jackie surprises Brittish by inviting Lorenzo. This doesn’t go well and Lorenzo tells Brittish that he “raised” her. In fact, he taunts her about working at the Boys and Girls Club when they first met.

Malaysia has had enough.

Malaysia walks in with Zell. Jennifer is not feeling this since the last time they saw each other, Zell was coming for her. And she doesn’t know why. He accused her of having bad breath. Regardless, he offers a shady apology and Jennifer is over it. And she thinks Malaysia brought Zell to be messy. 

In a green screen interview, Brandi says that she used to be close to Zell. They were close before he became good friends with Malaysia. But she says the friendship ended because Zell said some mean things about her family. 

When it gets back to Malaysia that Jennifer feels she brought Zell there to be messy, Malaysia tells Jennifer this isn’t the case. Brandi interjects, saying Malaysia knew Zell would be messy because that’s a given. 

This leads to an argument between them. They have to be restrained by multiple people. Fed up with all of the drama, Malaysia tells Duffey that the real reason Brandi is mad at her is because she’s still upset she was fired from the show years ago. And she felt like Malaysia should have done something about it. However, Malaysia says she has no hiring or firing power. And Brandi talked herself out of a job back then. 

Malaysia says she tried to keep Brandi on the show. She even continued to film with her and tried to talk the others into filming with Brandi as well. 

In Malaysia’s opinion, Brandi just wants drama so she can be interesting on the show. And she’s being fake about Zell because she was just trying to hang out with him days ago.

  1. I KNEW IT!!!!! i always figured Brandi was p-ssed that Malaysia stayed on bbw…that shows she was not a good friend…why would you want a SINGLE parent to give up her income because you decided to be disrespectful to your boss and were told to get to stepping.#badfriend #bully #aggressive #fired

  2. Well this does confirm that brandi was kicked off the show. Now I look back, brandi was being extra then with Shaunie. I knew it had to be deeper though then not reaching out about a passing. Now Brandi look even crazy by Malaysia airing out the truth. I’m sure Zell would have been happy to show the texts if no one believed Malaysia lmao! As far as zell is with Jennifer, well that’s just Zell. He is just petty and messy! Lol????????????. I do want to say congratulations to Malaysia for getting her business off the ground and being successful. I know she always wanted to do for her and had an entrepreneurial spirit since she started the show. I am sure she learned allot, good and bad, along the way! Looking at everything, I think brandi can’t stand Malaysia’s success. I am not sure what Brandi does as a hustle ????????‍♀️

  3. I knew it!! How do you as a friend expect your friend to give up her job because you got fired? you’re not being a true friend. Brandi is jealous and plays victim all the time. Why did they bring her back on the show. She’s using Malaysia as a storyline. She’s still with her cheater of a husband that repeatedly cheated. There’s no way that I would still be married to him at all. I think she’s jealous of Malaysia. I was hoping that they would repair their friendship. That’s a long time to be friends. Maybe they will make up later on, they just need to air some things out, just the two of them.
