Destiny Payton faces more drama on and off “Love and Marriage: Huntsville.”

Love and Marriage: Huntsville” star Destiny Payton wasn’t able to avoid drama in the current season. For this latest round, Destiny accused both Melody Shari Rodgers and Martel Holt of “grooming” her for a 3some. This completely aggravated Melody, who spoke out about Destiny and LAMH producers on IG Live days before informing the world she is not returning to the reality show she created.

Away from the show, she’s been involved in rumors surrounding her ex-husband’s recent arrest. This past January, LaBerrick Williams, was arrested on a warrant for Domestic Violence. After the arrest, Destiny sought out a protection order from the Madison County Courts. In the order, she claimed multiple incidents where LaBerrick was allegedly violent towards her.  Destiny also claimed he was violent towards his new girlfriend and son he shares with Destiny.

This request was ultimately denied by a judge and sent to the judge presiding over her ongoing custody dispute. That judge previously held Destiny in contempt and gave her a suspended jail sentence pending paying LaBerrick over $18,000 in court fees and medical bills for their son.

LaBerrick Williams seeks more jail time for Destiny Payton in their ongoing custody case.

This time, LaBerrick’s attorney filed a new motion in their custody/divorce case, and he’s once more seeking to hold Destiny in contempt and more jail time. In documents obtained by Urban Belle, LaBerrick claims Destiny won’t allow him to maintain court-ordered custody time. He says Destiny has kept their child for nine days of his allotted custody time.

As a result, LaBerrick seeks to put her in custody for five days for each day she kept their son during his time. LaBerrick also wants Destiny to be fined by the courts and pay his legal fees. If the judge agrees, Destiny will face another sentence of 45 days in jail. She is appealing the suspended 30-day sentence and the over $18,000 she owes to LaBerrick in court costs, medical bills, and back mortgage payments. LaBerrick also has an open Identity Theft criminal case against Destiny.

UPDATE: Destiny Payton Responds to LaBerrick Williams’ Motion.

After LaBerrick’s attorney filed the motion to hold Destiny in contempt, Destiny’s attorney swiftly responded. In her response, obtained by Urban Belle, Destiny acknowledges that she and LaBerrick had a custody agreement in which they switched custody on Sundays. She also recognizes that the protection order wasn’t granted.

However, she claims she’s maintained custody of their child because of LaBerrick’s arrest for Domestic Violence. Their attorneys were coordinating to adjust their custody agreement in light of the arrest. Destiny’s attorney claims it took them a week to receive access to LaBerrick’s bond addendum. They claim LaBerrick’s attorney failed to respond until after his attorney sent over a second request for a conference on February 3rd.

After the conference, LaBerrick pushed to have Destiny’s father involved in the custody exchange. Destiny pushed back on this because of his health. She feels LaBerrick was unreasonable in this request and his subsequent motion filing.

In the document, Destiny alleges once more that LaBerrick was physically abusive in their marriage and expressed concern for her safety. Destiny is asking the court to deny his motion and instead rule that they continue negotiating their amended custody in light of the arrest. She also requests the judge to have LaBerrick pay her attorney fees. Currently, Details of LaBerrick’s arrest warrant and bond addendum have not been made available.

Lastly, a hearing has been set for February 13th, 2025. The order for the case requests their child arrive with LaBerrick and be present with an additional adult. However, Destiny’s attorney is asking for a continuance as they have prior obligations that day. It remains to be seen if LaBerrick will be given custody of their child if the case is delayed.

  1. This Lady doesn’t have time to be groomed for a 3some. Didn’t she ask Melody not to believe rumors about her and Martell? She needs a shift her focus to her ex-husband and all their issues. That’s enough for 3 seasons of storyline.

  2. She’s not well, Destiny is a misfit. Dangerous and Treacherous. Incapable of doing the right thing, she’s unstable in her actions and deeds. Destiny uses manipulation in order to get financial support from her friends. Who always helps her financially but she never gives it back. Sly,slick, and wicked.

    1. I don’t understand why she won’t just do right. She’s forever playing the victim, all the while throwing rocks and hiding her hands. Why won’t she just move forward? She’s still trying to get at Moses as well as LB. She does nothing but cause chaos then try to get sympathy for the mess she puts herself in.

  3. Keeping a child away from their father is foul and petty. I originally thought Laberrick was the problem but now I think it’s Destiny. Just pay the man what you owe and hand over the baby on his days. No need to keep a toxic situation going.

  4. Praying for destiny and her family my heavenly father put your arm’s around destiny and her son be a fence lord protect them from evil Spirits they know who they are amen

      1. Agree……His trolls are putting out false statements/information to make you looked bad.
        Destiny, the devil is busy and he’s demons you keep believing in God.
        Trust God at All Times
        Trust in, lean on, rely on, and have confidence in Him at all times, you people; pour out your hearts before Him. God is a refuge for us (a fortress and a high tower). PSALM 62:8

  5. She needs to go back to jail since she refuses to follow court orders. The way she’s playing with the law isn’t surprising.

  6. Destiny is playing with the law/court and that judge who held her in contempt can see it plainly. She is trying to assassinate Laberrick’s character because she doesn’t want to pay back the money she owes him. The way she can so easily tell horrible lies on people is scary. She does it with a straight face and sometimes even a smile. I could never support someone like her.

  7. LeBerrick is a Loser , period who wants their childs mother locked up in jail , He’s sassy and mad because Destiny has Lance in her life , Boycott that barbecue spot , Its evident he’s a woman abuser , D-mn coward , Destiny get you a good lawyer and a concealed weapons permit, immediately

    1. Agree. He don’t like that she’s on television living her life, finally having a good man in your life good friends, so he going to do all he can to ruined her.

  8. Destiny needs to take her own advice she called herself telling Sunni, “Just go away”. Who’s looking dog walked, now?

    1. D-mn this man is fighting the mother of his child like he’s fighting a stranger in the street. What’s up with Leberrick who raised him where all this anger is coming from he’s a monster. Destiny I pray for you and hope you get through this. You better fight.

  9. There is a lot of reaching going on and opinions based off what Destiny is saying. It doesnt make her ex-husband or anybody for that matter jealous because she is on TV. Doesnt look like she is living her best life either because she has not been able to pay her rent, electric bill at home and had to move her store to a storage unit. Looks like she needs the checks, so she needs a storyline. Why is it ok for her to want to lock him up but she gets a pass for wanting the same for him. She is constantly popping off and rocking the neck especially at Sunni, threatening to drag her. Whose to say she isnt the abuser, she’s appears to be just as sassy as Laberrick is accused of being. Her protective order was denied, the judge must not have found any merits in her claim either. If people would just treat each other the way they want to be treated, the world would be a better place. As it stands, people want to behave badly towards others and expect them to rollover, play dead , take it and say nothing. Otherwise they are mad, jealous, evil, nasty,, dangerous and …..

  10. Everybody knows what sunny and Moses did was F**** up whether you like her or not it was ugly and unkind. Sunny work with her and her face everyday just lying I hate a liar.

  11. Destiny is keeping up what Mel is doing and she ought to b trying to stay out of jail.Moses just wanted her to b a side piece and she still thinks he wants her but he married the woman he wanted and he was never Destiny husband
