Martell Holt explains his side of the story.

LAMH fans were shocked to learn that Martell Holt is suing his ex-wife Melody Holt over custody of their children for full custody. In a lengthy post on Instagram, Martell accused Melody of lying and trying to “destroy” him. Martell claims over 20 people looked after their four children together since their divorce.

Martell also addressed Melody’s brother and his husband in the statement. He mentions how he did not like the children being left alone with Marcus’ husband. This is after Martell seemingly requested this not to occur.

Melody, please leave me alone. You moved on. I moved on. Stop attempting to destroy me. We have 4 beautiful children together. Stop going live and doing interviews if you don’t want to speak positive about the father of your 4 children. I have not spoken negatively or about you lately, even when asked about you.

Melody, stop lying about court & custody and even the little childish “Martell forgot to make the kids lunch”lol. I told my kids they were eating at school in which lots of kids do!

I’m 2-0 in court & She is 0-2. My attorney is 4-0 against her attorney. The courtroom isn’t Social Media! JUDGES HEAR FACTS. If you have anything else to say Mel, make sure I’m there for my side of the story, because we know you do/say anything for social media.

I’m requesting full custody because she’s had over 24 people (since our separation), with only a few being her family members watch our children, including Marcus in my city for 2 nights while Melody flew to another state without informing the father of anything. I asked Melody if we could not allow men to watch our children and she said “I do what I want”.

Months later, Marcus’s husband was left alone watching my children. Not saying they’re bad people, just saying that’s something Melody and I both were against initially. All I ask is that I have the first right of refusal if she is unable to keep the kids during her time with them!

This is something most moms would want, a supportive dad who loves their kids and would rather keep them than sending them to multiple people when the mom is too busy. We get the kids on every other week. We know that sometimes things may happen or come up when we have our kids and that’s ok, my issue is the excessiveness of different people watching our kids.

Stop saying that I’m not ACTING like a supportive dad, I’ve been the more active parent since day one, before cameras, I really love and care for my children

unconditionally. I’m also suing Melody for falsely accusing me of abusing my son/kids.

The statement has since been deleted from Instagram.

LAMH fans petition to have Martell removed from the show.

Meanwhile, LAMH fans are seemingly fed up with the antics of Martell. Sparked by the statement, a concerned fan of the show posted a petition via Change.org demanding Martell be removed from the show. In the petition, they laid out multiple transgressions that occurred during his marriage to Melody and their time on LAMH. This includes the affair, the side baby, allegedly stealing $17,000 from Melody, and his subsequent lawsuit against her. They also accused Martell of being abusive and dangerous.

The petition creator also accused Martell of homophobia, alluding to his past treatment of Melody’s brother Marcus on and off camera. 

It was recently reported that the custody case has been stalled because Martell allegedly failed to turn in the required documentation to move forward with the discovery phase.

  1. To get involved over scripted “Not all Real” TV would make me as silly as this whole drama series is! I’m officially signing off of this show as I did Facebook 2 years ago and never missed it. It would be nice in some of these scenes that others may watch, to see someone take these children to “Church” perhaps they’re going, just saying it’ll be a positive parenting step to see.
    Everyone thinking a petition will stop the people making money off this and other shows? In your dreams. It’s all about the money.
    Initially for me it was nice entertainment,now? Another level of crazy!
    Signing off” LAAMH!
    Thanks for listening.

  2. It honestly seems like Martell is just trying to ruin Melody any way possible because she doesn’t want to get back together with him.

  3. Exactly Bee. But I have to say it’s not entertaining to me to watch a woman be emotionally abused by a man because he’s mad she divorced him. I don’t even want to watch the show anymore. And he is homophobic. I picked up on that quickly. Carlos brags about ratings all day long but when does his sensitivity chip and morals kick in?

  4. He won’t be fired. But Melody fans don’t have to worry about her. Prayer keeps Melody protected and God continues to bless her. Martell will not be victorious.

  5. I think Martell has burner accounts he uses to keep up with what Melody is doing so every time he sees her collect a new win, he throws a temper tantrum. He hates that she’s doing better without him.

  6. A good bit of this we wouldn’t even have known because Melody didn’t say anything. Martell is spilling his own tea and telling a lot of lies in the process. Why is he so angry when he’s the one that broke up his family? He needs to be mad at himself. Joint custody is more than fair. He’s causing trouble out of spite.

  7. Can someone please explain it to me, please do not be mean, I am honestly trying to understand where y’all are coming from.

    Martel’s statement is that Melody is too busy to watch the kids and so the kids end up being watched by people that Martel is not comfortable watching his kids.

    Melody has done interviews and talked about Martel.

    Martel cheated on Melody with multiple women and had kids with them. Arionne is the only that chose to go public but he messed with other women while he was married to Melody and even had a baby with at least one of them. Melody knew that he was cheating but chose to stay until she couldn’t stay anymore.

    Based on this article, how is Martel emotionally abusing Melody?

  8. I am so glad so many people are seeing what narcissistic abuse is. The misogynoir in the comments I used to see where Melody was blamed for everything have become fewer and fewer. That is progress. I am so proud of Melody for sitting back and allowing Martell to destroy himself. He clearly does not have a good attorney.

    1. Martell,want cast to believe he is have a hard time with Melody moving on. She has her own brand that has nothing to with Martell. He love to used the other cast remember to get them to talk bad about Melody when she want her space from the other cast members. Martell need to be fired from the show. Martell is bring down the rated. He is up to no good.He use used women to get under Melody skin.

  9. Who is Martell’s lawyer because this man is being a total fool right now. Telling a judge you don’t like their uncle and his husband babysitting because they are gay men won’t hold up in court. Airing out the child abuse accusations that were made by his own son won’t be looked at favorable by the judge. There is also proof that Martell is a great threat to his kids because there is plenty of footage of him being violent. His own anger issues, as well as proof of him stalking Melody on a date will def damage the character witness portion of the custody case. This is the time to be quiet. You don’t do this when you’re fighting for custody. This is self sabotage and he’s too prideful to see it.
