Carlos King Says Martell Holt & Melody Shari Won’t Be Fired from LAMH + They Made It a Hit

Melody Shari has washed her hands of certain friendships on LAMH.

Love & Marriage: Huntsville” fans had a lot to say about Part 2 of the reunion. As we reported, LaTisha Scott addressed the scandalous photo she discovered on Marsau Scott‘s phone. She and her cousin Keke confirmed that the photo was sent by another woman. And she didn’t have any clothes on. While LaTisha attempted to downplay the situation, fans and other cast members looked a bit uncomfortable.

Marsau was vocal when it was time for Carlos King to put Melody Shari in the hot seat. He interjected as Melody was addressing her blowup with Miss Wanda. Marsau asked Melody if she’s even been accountable for anything since being on the show. Interestingly enough, a YouTuber took on his challenge and showed moments of Melody doing this in past episodes.

There were also moments when Martell Holt pointed out what he feels are biases held within the group. He thinks that he and Melody’s children aren’t given the same protections as the other kids. And he asked Carlos why Miss Wanda wasn’t called out the first time she came for the Holt kids. Of course, he also took issue with the Scotts attempting to place some blame on him and Melody for Wanda doubting their daughter’s paternity.

Melody peeped all of this as well. And she made it clear that it’s just proof that it’s impossible for the group to actually move forward with each other. She also feels LaTisha makes the most excuses when it comes to Wanda’s choices.

Carlos King believes LAMH can’t survive without the original 6 making peace.

The reunion was just another sign of how strained the cast relationships are currently. Melody flat-out told Carlos that she is over it. And she is done trying. As it stands, the only Scott she gets along with is Kimmi Scott.  She values their friendship and Kimmi confirmed she does as well.

Well, Carlos thinks it’s imperative that the core 6 finds a way to move forward.

He discussed this on his YouTube channel with Dustin Ross. Dustin mentioned that he enjoys the scenes with the core 6. Carlos said, “In order for this show to survive, and I’ll go on record saying this cause I said this to them, there has to be a level of community amongst the cast. And we all, including me when I met them, we all fell in love with how the original 6 were as a collective. One thing I know about producing reality TV is relationships go like this (uses his hand to make an up and down gesture).”

“And I had to go down to Huntsville because everything you’re saying, I had to say to the cast to their face. As we are filming this new season, the goal is let’s figure out a way where everybody can come back. And let’s see the steps with that because after the Madonni melee, to see the original 6 in that restaurant, they all got dressed up. They all looked gorgeous, they all spoke to each other, gave each other daps, cracked jokes. And obviously, Kimmi invited them over to her home to reveal she had cancer and they were all cracking jokes on their outfits,” Carlos said.

Carlos King addressed his treatment of Destiny Payton.

Another hot topic was the segment Carlos had with Destiny Payton. He told her producers said she has been “difficult” to work with. Kimmi cosigned this. And she said she has tried to pull more out of Destiny but she hasn’t been successful. But if Destiny isn’t going to share more of her life, LAMH may not be the platform for her.

Carlos addressed this moment as well. “You can’t come on this show and not expect to give as much as they are. And I had to ask Destiny those questions and be honest and listen, me and Destiny talk, we had a great conversation. She’s also from Detroit, Dustin as we are. I love Destiny but again, these are my people and I had to be honest in turns of people have said you’re difficult to work with. They have. My producers have said, ‘We’re trying.'”

He also noticed that some people tweeted that if Destiny being single is an issue, it should be an issue for Melody, too.

Carlos King said Melody Shari and Martell Holt have been too transparent to be fired.

This was nonsense in Carlos’ opinion.

Carlos said, “I saw some people tweet tonight, well Melody don’t have it either. Let me tell y’all something, this is me keeping it real.”

He continued, “The show was called ‘Love & Marriage: Huntsville’…let me back up. The show is called ‘Love & Marriage’ because of the Holts, the Scotts, and the Scotts 2.0. Melody doesn’t have to be in love for the rest of her **** life because, at the end of the day, this show got jumped off because of that story.”

Carlos expounded, “When Martell and Mel got a divorce, Martell called me and said, ‘Am I off the show now?’ And I said, ‘Why would you be off of the show?’ He said, ‘Because ain’t that what happens when people divorce, the men they leave? They get fired?’ And I said, ‘No! We wanna follow the continuation of your real life.’ And that’s what I mean by that.”

He also gave the other original 6 cast members their props for their contributions to the show’s successful foundation. “So I was not trying to be shady towards Destiny. It was more so, Melody and Martell can be single until the end of time. They started the foundation along with Marsau, Kimmi, Tisha, and Maurice. And at the end of the day, if you wanna be on ‘Love & Marriage: Huntsville,’ DC, or any city God blesses us with, you’re gonna have to follow the same narrative of, you have to do whatever it takes to give your real life. Cause that’s the only way you’re gonna have staying power on the show.”

  1. In so many words, Carlos is saying he’s not about to have a Married 2 Med situation. They ruined that show because they let their hate for Mariah trump all common sense. I don’t like Martell but I can’t see the show without him or Melody. Can’t stand the Scotts but it wouldn’t be the same without them either.

    1. AMEN, AMEN, AMEN, MARIAH WAS THE ONE THAT STARTED IT. HOWEVER QUAD, DR. JACKIE, DR. SIMONE ARE THE ONES THAT STARTED ALL THE BS TO GET MARIAH OFF. THIS IS WHY I DON’T WATCH ANYMORE.. EVERY BODY WATCH IT’S VERY TELLING WHO THE DEVILS ARE. I DON’T WATCH, BECAUSE I DO NOT LIKE JEALOUS WOMEN, AND THESE BLACK SO’CALLED DOCTORS ARE SATAN IN THE FLESH. JACKIE, HEAVENLY, AND SIMONE

  2. Not one lie told. Carlos isn’t a fool. The more transparent you are, the better when doing a reality show. Destiny is too private for TV. And that’s ok. She just needs to exit gracefully if she won’t open up.

    1. I’m sure that there’s other people on the show that keeps things to themselves. People don’t have to know everything about you. The comment that was made that she shouldn’t be on her show because she’s not married was ridiculous. She was married when she got on the show, she got divorced just like Melody she was married and she’s no longer married

      1. The viewers got to see Melody and Martell marriage unfold. We have no clue what happened between Destiny and her ex husband.

        1. I just wish Mattel and melody get back together.they have such beautiful children.every one of them look so much like martel.how can melody see the children and. Not think of their dad..
          Come on Carlos get them back together.the six are the pulse of hwoh.

  3. I appreciate that he admitted Martell and Melody’s story hooked people and the Scotts matter as well. I think that’s why the fans are so angry now. Deep down inside, we’re all disappointed the Core Six aren’t all friends anymore so we’re choosing sides. 😢

    1. I agree with Melody she shouldn’t make up with Latisha at all. Latisha and her family have a jealous streak that’s not nice to be around Melody. Period…

    2. This is so true because truth be told Melody and Latisha’s beef forces Marsau and Maurice to side with Tisha because she’ll be mad at them if they don’t. She knows that won’t fly with Kimmi though. 🤣

  4. At some point Carlos, you need to get rid of the dead weight! The only story that Marsau and Tisha has is his alleged cheating and her constantly making excuses for him and her mama. ..boring!!! Another year has passed with the same ole same ole. As far as The Trader Destiny, times up!!! Give us a reason to watch another season!!!

  5. I think Carlos is making a big mistake with keeping the Scott’s. Tisha and Marsau need to go. They are full of jealousy and hate. They are nauseating!

    Melody and Martell are the show!

    Kimmie and Maurice completely useless.

  6. Wellllllllllllllllll! We need Melody and Martel. They continue to give spice to the otherwise dull show. Even though I adore Kimmi and I’m sorry she’s enduring her health situation, those brothers can take a seat and be “friends” of the show. I’m REALLY sick of LaTisha (her constant whining is very irritating), she runs out of breath explaining why Marsau does the things he does and he’s constantly correcting her PLUS he doesn’t seem to be as faithful as we thought (if we every did). Stormi and her husband are wonderful, that other couple (can’t even think of their names) are forgettable. Please get rid of Destiny. She gives NOTHING, she offers NOTHING–those dreadful faces she makes like she smells either her upper lip or someone’s behind–gee whiz!

    1. Latisha is so jealous of Melody, that it is eating her up inside. She is a product of that ratchet Wanda. What else would we expect? Ratchet, Envy, it shows in Latisha’s face. She is so jealous she needs to understand that ENVY, and Jealousy will put up 6 feet under

      1. I agree. Latisha was out of line with Melody and so was Marsau, Maurice, and Destiny! Mel is going to rise above. She felt alone last night but girl you will smile again and Martell gone hate it. Sheree old washed up butt with that young boy! Sit down somewhere. Back to Latisha, her and Marsau so scared his infidelity is going to come out. We see it Sis!

    1. Yes, that’s their names. Tiffany and Louis–they weren’t a good fit from the very beginning. I didn’t like it at all that she kept removing herself from the therapy session. There’s way more going on than meets the eye and I wouldn’t be surprised if they left EACH OTHER. Anyway, they can stay gone–it won’t make any difference. Isn’t there anyone else to introduce into the show that’s notable down there? AND, please give Wanda her pink slip. She’s embarrassing, ignorant, unsightly, illiterate, ETC.

  7. I like Stormy 2!
    Destiny needs a talking to. She & Mel were Besties so why would she GO and SPILL everything that the 2 of them have done. I don’t care what place you’re in now that’s JUST WRONG!!!!
    My husband and I visited Blaque this past summer and each time we see it on the show we holler bc it doesn’t look like that in real life situation.

  8. Destiny is truly a mean spirited woman the faces she make get under my skin she is Rachel and ghetto she’s a pretty woman but her attitude sucks I see shy her marriage failed im all for Carlos giving her and wand the boot Wanda way to old and ghetto her voice like Tisha remind me of nails on a chalk board

  9. This is so true Latisha is spreading hate for Melody. However, Kimmie see’s right thru her. She is as messy as her mom. Bringing out those home mammy made dolls was just an example, of how messy, and ignorant she is. She looked so silly, and childish. It was not funny at all to me. She showed more of
    her insecure self. I have been in Melodys shoes before, in a group of friends, and I totally ignored them even when they did their fakery, like the liked me. I gave them nothing but blank face. Like they were not present.

  10. TIFFANY, AND LOUIS THEY AS DULL AS WEEK OLD BREAD PERIOD! THEY SHOULD BE AXED, NOTHING THERE TO GIVE. AVE THEM, WANDA, MARSAU, AND TISHIA

  11. You are so right. Another thing, I think Wanda should be the one to go. All she does is stir up trouble and her daughter and son-in-law makes excuses for her. GET RID OF WANDA.

  12. I couldn’t agree more that Melody and Martel ARE the show. Everyone on the show brings something or it wouldn’t add to the drama of a realty TV show
    We wouldn’t watch it if the drama there. I don’t like Wanda or Destiny but we wouldn’t have them to talk about if they weren’t a part of the show. I DON’T CARE who is let go…just not Melody and Martel.

  13. I SAY SENT DESTINY’S A### PACKING. SHE HAS NO STORY LINE, WHEN SHE CAME ON SHE HAD A BABY BOY? WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM? DID SHE BORROW SOMEONE’S CHILD? ALSO, LOUIS, AND TIFFANY? DID THEY RUN OUT OF OPTIONS FOR A STORYLINE?
    RESCUE YOUR SINKING SHIP CARLOS

  14. I love this show. All 6 of the come back do make the show, but if Martell and Melanie if off I want watch it. Leave Wanda on. They just need to keep checking her. As, far as Melanie you can’t compare the relationship between she and Martell to Destiny and her ex who we don’t really know. We want to see after the Divorce where this is really going to go with their co parenting. They have shown their kids upset and tell them how they feel on national tv.. you can’t get more transparent than that.
    I really hate that Mel and Destiny friendship has come to this, but Destiny really acts like she hate Mel.. I just love Kimmi she is one real lady and she stays true to herself no matter what. She is going to say what she feel no matter sister n law, or friends. Anyway Carlos your Awesome

  15. Marsua should have been name Marsha, he has such bi*** ways, geesh he displays heavy feminine was, Tisha better start paying attention to her feminine products
