Malaysia thinks someone has been snitching on her.

Things are still going well between Jennifer and Jelani. 

They spend a lot of time together. In a green screen interview, Jennifer says she didn’t think she’d meet someone like him after a string of bad relationships. But they want to take the next step. And it may be time to meet the parents. 

Jackie and Malaysia catch up. Malaysia reveals she was hit with a cease and desist from her ex-husband. He took issue with her discussing their co-parenting drama while filming. And now Malaysia wants to hire a lawyer to fight back. But she suspects one of the ladies may have told her ex she was complaining about child support. So at this point, Malaysia doesn’t feel like she can really trust any of them outside of Jackie.

It may be the end of a major chapter for Brooke.

Brooke has some surprising news. She just found out her husband was having an affair. So she moved out of their New York home back to LA. Although she really thought they had something special, she’s positive that divorce is the best thing to do. Brandi asks Brooke if she’s sure about this because it’s possible she’s making the decision out of anger. 

Regardless, Brooke is certain that ending the marriage is the only option. Her children are grown, so she’s not going to stay in a marriage if she’s not happy. 

Jennifer meets Jelani’s parents. They ask her questions that they feel are important. And they urge the couple to have a tough conversation about having children. 

Malaysia isn’t sure she can trust Brandi.

Duffey throws a get-together to lift Brooke’s spirits amid her divorce news. Despite Brittish’s hesitance, Duffey still invites Malaysia. In a green screen interview, Malaysia says the tension is thick because half the women don’t like her. It becomes even tenser when Jackie tries to convince Brittish and Jennifer to speak to Malaysia. Both feel like Jackie is trying to force Malaysia on everyone else. 

Malaysia does have an open moment with the others. She suggests that Brooke take a year before actually filing for divorce. This is what she did when it came to her ex-husband. In a green screen interview, Brittish says the issue they have with Malaysia is she doesn’t like to open up to them. So the moment was appreciated.

Brandi and Malaysia end up having a side conversation. Malaysia asks Brandi if she told her ex-husband that Malaysia was prepping to sue him for child support. Brandi says no. In a green screen interview, Malaysia says that she suspects Brandi did this since she’s the only one who knows Malaysia’s ex. As for Brandi, she says that it makes no sense to suspect this because she doesn’t talk to Malaysia or her ex.

Jennifer and Malaysia clash.

Jackie is able to talk Malaysia and Brittish into having drinks. The three women all share some laughs until Brittish says that some of the other women have been annoyed by Jackie. And they think she’s just been acting out because she’s bored at home. This doesn’t sit well with Jackie. She says she has a great life and marriage. Brittish calls Jennifer to back up her accusations. Jennifer says it’s true and Jackie needs to stop trying to get them to like Malaysia. 

Malaysia snatches Brittish’s phone and hangs up on Jennifer. When Jennifer is called back, she and Malaysia argue a little over Brittish’s speakerphone. In a green screen interview, Malaysia says that she had issues with Jennifer years ago. She thought they hashed things out. But now it seems as if Jennifer wants to have a problem with her again. So she’s over it.

  1. Jennifer keep trying to act like she about that life ….she keep trying Malaysia and Jackie she gonna get SLAPPED back to REALITY.

  2. Oh snap. I hope Brooke had time to grieve her daughter if she passed away before the divorce and if the divorce happened before her daughter passed, I hope she had the time to deal with the dissolution of her marriage.
