Kimmi Scott’s comments about Melody Shari’s decision to change her last name resulted in some criticism from LAMH fans.

Love & Marriage: Huntsville” star Kimmi Scott has fans talking on social media about the latest episode. During a scene, Kimmi confronted Melody Shari about not inviting her to the name change ceremony. Melody planned an event to celebrate the fact that she dropped Holt and returned to her maiden name. Martell Holt told Nell Fletcher that this was a disrespectful thing to do. Nell angered Martell tremendously when she reminded him that she tried to warn him to get his act together before he lost his marriage. He didn’t listen. So he can’t dictate what Melody has as a last name. Interestingly enough, Kimmi shared a different perspective during the scene. She told Melody,

“As African Americans, I think a lot of times we’re thrown into a stereotypical cycle of I’m gonna assume that your kids don’t have your momma’s last name. And I think it’s tragic. That just like mattered to me.”

Melody reminded Kimmi that her son Jaylin Grant did not stop her from changing her last name to Scott.

“You and Jaylin technically don’t have the same last name anymore, right?”

She continued, “It’s a part of life, marriage, divorce…it’s just one of those things where it is what it is. My kids know what it is and what it was. So it don’t bother me at all.”

Kimmi Scott responded to the backlash on Instagram.

In a green screen interview, Melody hinted at Kimmi’s comments justifying why she didn’t receive an invite.

“Me choosing not to invite Tisha and Kimmi…I really wanted people there who have been very supportive in my growth and this new chapter of my life. And let’s just be honest, the past few years we haven’t been getting along. There are sometimes we’re getting along, sometimes we’re not. Sometimes we’re throwing shade, sometimes we’re not. That line clearly being there on if you’re for me or against me hasn’t been fully drawn. So I knew I wanted people who I know that without a shadow of a doubt are sincerely in my life with a genuine intent.”

Well, Kimmi had more to say about the scene and her comment on Instagram. She reposted the clip and wrote the following caption:

“Wow, this clip really got the gworls feeling a way…confused 😕 shout out to the graceful edit 🎬. Some think this conversation is related to moms and their children that they had and were not married (doesn’t really apply). However, the actual conversation (not shade, not dig), the conversation was in regards to moms who get divorced and weigh their options on keeping their married last name or not. A lot of that decision-making includes their professional advancements with that name… and their children. #next”

  1. Whatever she wants to say and think, Melody did what would make her happy. As long as she and her children understand the situation ,what Kimmi thinks doesn’t matter.
    .

      1. Amen. Her Mother and immediate family seemed to be the majority. And, she might have had a few close heartfelt friends. All this was her prerogative. The event was tastefully done and fulfilled her mental need to step fully into her singleness. Excellent choice.

    1. You’re absolutely correct, Trina seems as if kimmi is showing a little bit of jealousy and nosey behavior, if she chooses to change her name then so be it, Kimmie’s trying to say that it could affect melly mells deals and brands girl bye, melody knows what she’s definitely doing, if she needs your help she’ll DEFINITELY ask, NOT MIND YOUR BUSINESS KIMMI, NOSEY JEALOUS ENVIOUS BEHAVIOR ALERT, AND KIMMIE’S ABSOLUTELY MAD SHE WASN’T INVITED, LOL CONGRATULATIONS MELODY, CONTINUE TO KEEP DOING YOU AND WHATEVER GENUINELY MAKES YOU HAPPY, AS LONG AS YOUR TAKING CARE OF BUSINESS AS YOU’VE DEFINITELY DONE SINCE DAY ONE, I’M ALL IN, MAY EVERYTHING YOU COME IN CONTACT WITH REMAIN BLESSED FOREVER 💯❤️🙏🏾🙏🏾

  2. Kimmie you are just like Martell’s mistress. Get off the show you are making yourself look bad. You sound silly My Libido, My Libido.

  3. How convenient that she didn’t include her live with Martell where she said that the whole thing was corny. I am not even a Mel fan and see right through her, so glad she didn’t invite them.

  4. Kimmie everyone has choices. I understand what you’re saying about the children having the same last name as the mother. But u had no right 😕 to say that you Mel. That was her choice. Who r u to judge. Apparently it meant a lot to her to let that name go.

    1. And I’m quite sure she put alot of thought into this matter, still trying to figure out, why is kimmi so concerned, mind the business that pays you kimmi, you sound a little bit jealous and envious to me, keep doing you melody, and taking care of business as always, may everything you come in contact with remain forever BLESSED, melody 💯❤️🙏🏾🙏🏾

  5. My whole thing is Kimmie girl why does takin back her government name bother you or matter?? Kimmie probably should have just kept that comment to herself being that her son doesn’t have her last name. I am proud of Melody for getting that bad energy(Martell Ho) out of her life. Ms. Rodgers is in the building lol

    1. Yes ma’am she absolutely meant something by it. Kimmie is a sneaky, jealous, conniving snake. This woman is the worst kind of woman, telling Martel he is a good man, WTF, She’s a pick me and probably a sidekick, thats why she sympathizes with COLESLAW.. BIRDS OF A FEATHER. Enough said..

    2. I think they all has things going on in their own life so what Mel does is her business and what’s good for her. Kimmie shouldn’t have felt that comfortable to say, what she said. But she got a clear response.

  6. My Mom has been married 3 times and has carried each name until she married again.
    Melody wanted complete freedom from Marty and she achieved it yet everyone won’t be happy for her. She doesn’t care. That’s why she handled Kimmi gracefully.

    1. I Agree whole heartily Kimmie keep your mouth shut. I was done with you when you folded and took up for that A-SHOLE husband of yours re: sex. He does not give a crap about you. Wake the fudge up. Melody is winning cannot say the same about you. I am just waiting to see what you are going to do when he tells you that he needs another woman to fulfill his needs. In a marriage you make sacrifices and he’s telling you that he will never make a sacrifice regarding you. I have lost all respect for you. You are a weak woman that has no self worth.

  7. I really didn’t think Kimmie meant any shade or harm to Melody, because a lot of Mother with divorce keep their marriage name because of their kids, it is that person personal choice.

  8. Kimmy that was none of your business. You need to be trying to handle your horny husband. You’ve been around them Scott so long You’re acting just like them. Somebody said something about you and your child or marriage You would have been offended so stay out of other people’s business I’m glad she didn’t invite you because you talk out of both sides of your mouth.

  9. Bye Kimmi..you WISH you had Melody’s STRENGTH!! Then MAYBE you and Mr. Scott would have a better story line!! Stop the CAP 😠

  10. Kimmi is so shady. First she was a side Chick.
    Then became a wife, to a man who is really jealous of you, and you don’t even know it. Thats why he wanted you to quit your job. You all are so jealous of Ms Rodgers you can’t see it. But Kiimi your messy as well!

  11. If she wants to drop her married name that’s her decision.Why is everybody so peeved abt.it.Her ex -husband, her so called friend Kimmie Scott.They need to concentrate on their lives, keeping their noses 👃 out of other people’s business.

  12. Melody should have let Mrs Kimmey know she was a baby mamma and I was a wife. Sit back and watch her face drop, thinking that was cold of Mel but okay for Kimmey , Mel is the boss of her life. NOT KIMMEY.

  13. I believe Kimmi was going with Maurice when he was married to his other wife, and Kimmie tried really hard to cover it up, I think Kimmie is getting what she deserves, she is miserable and doesn’t want to see anyone else happy.

  14. What Kimmie really needs to focus on is getting her some better bras, strapless included. She loves to show her breast but does she realize that they are hanging too too low and there’s nothing sexy about that.

  15. Crazy how much Kimmie is focused on this or even the fact that Melody changed her name when she should be getting to the bottom of her cheating husband & brother-in-law!! Be for real…Maurice didn’t care to understand that she didn’t want sex while battling cancer…smh…QUESTION & research that hunni!!!

  16. Kimmie’s “attempt” to throw shade is the exact reason she was not invited. Also she threw herself under with that nonsense of minorities stereo typed for kids and moms having different names. The stereotype is not due to names different because of divorce but said to be for never being married… but I guess that didn’t apply to her cuz her son had her last name…. yet throwing shade.hmmmm. How many caught what Nelody was saying by baby momma …. Im glad this woman is healthy and recovered. I woud think post having such an ordeal it would promote one to be more positive. Yet she continues with her undercover shade… at least own your shit…

  17. At the end of the day Mel is the best business mind on the show. Martel asked for 50% of all things Holt. I think Mel is preparing to get back out there fully in the business world. Just wait and see. As for Martel i don’t understand why he is offended. Arionne Curry does not have his last name. He is a narcissist wanting to control Mel even in divorce. He is struggling because Mel was clearly the brains behind their business. In the beginning the Holts were the most successful couple on the show. Go get em Mel!!

  18. Kimmie you are not in a position to choose sides against Tisha. Tisha and Mel are not friends. Therefore you cannot be a part of Mel’s inner circle. Continue to focus on your recovery and your marriage. And pray for a new storyline. The most boring couple has just left the show. You now have the title.
