[Jackie] Previously on Basketball Wives...
I had a conversation with Shaniece.
Did you guys have a conversation?
It'll just make my heart so full.
For sure.
I had a conversation with Evelyn today.
She said I was wrong if I allegedly pushed Jennifer,
so I said, "What do you think about Brooke
throwing the drink in my face?" She like,
"Oh, I feel like she did what she needed to do."
It's okay when they do it,
but it's a problem when we do it.
I don't know your whole story,
but I know it hasn't been positive.
I want you to really love yourself, Vanessa.
I went to cosmetology school when I was 18.
Yes, I know.
And that's what my non-profit is about...
And I still wanna get with you with that.
I'm gonna catch a flight back to LA.
Celebrations and holidays.
That's okay. I totally understand.
[theme music]
[music]
[Brooke] The other women are still in Arizona
for Jackie's healing trip.
But after all of the chaos that went on in Arizona,
I am so happy to be back in the calm
and quiet of my home.
Sookie's home.
Thank you for babysitting her.
Oh, my gosh. She was a lot.
Can't even put her down. She's so spoiled.
Really? I wonder why.
Are you giving kisses and butt rubs?
Oh, how many was that?
That's payment for babysitting.
Is that... That's what it is?
Stephen and I, our relationship
just defies an explanation at the moment.
What I can say is that Stephen has been an amazing friend
during this time of my life.
Okay, so what was the question?
[Stephen] Tell me about your trip, though.
How was it?
Well, let's toast that I'm home
-and not locked up somewhere. -Oh, it's that serious?
It's just been girl stuff.
-Man. -Back and forth, whatever.
[Brooke] So now that I'm home from Arizona,
my focus is just the fundraiser.
This is gonna be the first fundraiser
that we're gonna do for the non-profit for Kayla.
When Kayla passed away,
I started K&B Life Inc.,
a non-profit for my daughter's legacy.
She was very passionate about working in the beauty industry.
And I want to be able to raise money
to help other students to make it through,
and graduate, and become entrepreneurs.
I'm really excited about it,
but, also, I'm very stressed out.
And I already have anxiety just thinking about it
because I need to get a location,
event planners, decorations.
I'm thinking along the lines of auctioning off
memorabilia from musicians,
and professional NBA and NFL players.
-I love the idea. -[Brooke] Yeah?
She's not here to be able
to complete all her dreams and aspirations
in the beauty business,
so I definitely wanna give back to the community,
and keep her legacy and her name alive.
Kayla and I used to help organizations
to feed the homeless.
With me giving back to other young adults
in her memory,
it's therapeutic.
It makes me happy.
It helps to fill a void that I carry every day.
With doing the foundation and the fundraiser,
I'm going to set up to go into a cosmetology school.
I also wanna speak to the director,
so that he can let me know which students
need financial assistance.
Well, I'm here. Let me know,
whatever, if you need me to do anything.
I definitely need you and your pockets.
♪ Everybody wants you now ♪
♪ I guess they just can't help it ♪
Oh, girl, you look amazing.
You look a lot lighter.
I had a beautiful spa day toda.
So I had good energy flowing.
-[Britanny] Okay. -Great faith.
So Jackie has something really fun
planned for us tonight.
Um.
And I would love for you to step out with me.
A little Bonnie and Clayanna.
You know what I'm saying?
I understand what it's like to be on Isolation Island,
but I do feel that Clayanna has been trying.
She apologized to Jac'Eil.
And I want people to see the version of you
that I have had the pleasure of getting to know.
Abso-[bleep]-lutely, man! Let's go!
Come on, I need my girl back! Come on!
[music]
Vanessa.
-Hi. -Hi, you getting ready?
No, I don't think I can go.
-You don't wanna go? -No, girl.
Me and Evelyn talked about some things, so...
Come here.
What'd you talk about?
Some days, if you feel like that...
I know.
What can I do to help?
Do you want me to stay with you?
No, you go.
-We're good. Yeah, I'm good. -[Jackie] You sure?
Me and my husband,
we have never really healed as a couple
over the infidelity.
After talking with Evelyn, I'm just not in the space
to go out.
You call me if you need me. I'll come back, okay?
-Okay. All right. Bye. -[Jackie] All right.
[music]
[Jackie] Before our final brunch tomorrow,
I got one last surprise for these ladies tonight.
I'm taking them to a male revue strip club.
[Evelyn] Let's do it!
Finally. A good time without no bad ass energy.
[Jackie] Evelyn's talking about getting married
and going down the aisle,
and after everything we've been through in Arizona,
tonight is the night to get wild and have fun.
And I even got dollar bills to throw on these strippers.
I feel like somebody about to have a bachelorette...
Um, no, who is it?
I feel like it's you more than me.
Bitch, you got the ring.
I don't know...
I'm happy seeing you both smiling
That's what's killing me.
Through everything, even today.
Look at us. We like twinsies with the outfits.
-We did not plan this. -At all.
For real, we have a great time.
-[Woman] Let's do it. -Let's go party.
You better teach me how to shake some ass
'cause you keep telling me you gonna teach me,
but you need to teach me.
I am, we gonna have a good time. We drinking tonight.
[Woman] Okay.
I really like Vanessa a lot
and I wanna see her get in a better place.
I know you both said some hard things to her,
but at the end of the day, both of you have been through
the ringer with her and her comments.
I didn't think the conversation was even gonna go there.
You know what I'm saying?
But what she told me about [bleep] Isaiah,
and the fact that she was pregnant,
there was a woman he was dealing with
she [bleep] miscarried,
"Girl, you have to love yourself."
To choose yourself first. You know what I'm saying?
You have to.
You can't project your misery on other people
because you didn't make the right decision.
Right.
I feel bad for her.
But I do adore her. I think she's a sweetheart.
As much as I wanted to be like, "[bleep] that bitch,"
I feel compassion for her.
Hearing Evelyn talk about compassion for Vanessa,
I really feel like the trip was successful.
One day, they just might be able to be cool with each other.
Let's go in there and have some fun, y'all.
I feel like we need to have fun.
I wanna have fun, but don't have any of these people touching me.
I don't want [bleep] in my face.
[Jackie] Okay, okay, okay.
♪ You look like a good time ♪
♪ I came to party ♪
♪ Right now I'm on the prowl ♪
I've never been to a male strip club.
And I think it's a good opportunity
for us to get along.
If we can't get along and there's fine-ass men
walking around in little thongs,
[exhaling dramatically] then we're hopeless.
Bring the guys out!
Bring the [bleep] out. No shorts!
[in low tone] Bring the [bleep] out!
-Can take a shot? -Let's do it, let's do it.
Okay, you guys. I got money for all of us.
So we gonna give it out tonight.
Big Momma!
Over here, come on get it.
I don't want none 'cause I don't want them to think... No.
I'm not getting no lap dances.
I don't want nobody touching me.
I don't need my man seeing this on the Internet
and pulling the keekee-osh I'm good.
They better not have a little one.
[Woman] Oh, my God!
I need one with a curve.
Also, I wanted to tell y'all
that Clayanna may be coming,
so just giving y'all a heads-up.
This our last night. Let's have a good time.
Shake some ass, pop some [bleep],
drink some shots.
We just try. We just... Let's just try and see.
I'm not giving her grace.
I'm actually not even gonna talk to her.
I'm actually gonna act like I don't even know the bitch,
to be honest.
Clayanna is a crazy mother[bleep] that be
outside homes and [bleep], going [imitating gremlin]
like a gremlin and [bleep].
A gremlin is crazy. Do not throw some water on him.
[Britanny] It would make sense
why Jen is still feeling some kind of way,
but Jackie said that this trip is about healing.
And if it's truly about healing
and [high screechy voice] "the sisterhood,"
then Clayanna should be welcomed with open arms.
We about to have fun.
You said you got some [bleep] for me, right?
I got some [bleep] for you, bitch.
I've never been to a male strip club.
-[Jackie] You haven't? -No.
I like big strip clubs.
I wanna see them pop that ass.
I like seeing them go up and down!
Maybe we could learn a new trick.
[Woman] I could teach y'all some [bleep] on the pole.
Oh! Hey, girl!
[woman cheering]
[Jackie] Coming up on Basketball Wives...
Vanessa has this whole file on you.
I'm like, "Girl, why you so invested and concerned?
Because I'm actually not your friend."
[Jackie] Oh! Hey, girl!
[woman cheering]
Hello!
[Brittany] I've always said that Jackie was messy,
and in that instance, she proved me right.
We don't do fake and phony around here.
I have not had a conversation with Clayanna
since she put her hands on me.
She wants to say we're cool. We're not cool.
So gonna have to see, leave me the [bleep] alone.
How are you, girl? You look gorgeous.
-Thank you. -I'm glad you came out.
Why wouldn't I?
After I pop in and I say hi to everybody,
Jennifer is gonna be the bitch that she is.
But you know what? I'm not gonna let you bitches
mess up our night. I'm here.
I done got dressed. I'm out. We about to have a good time.
We're getting some drinks, so...
Oh, you want something to drink?
Order up.
Here, I got money for everybody,
so I'm gonna include you and give you some.
Like she's our little honey bun.
A little hundun.
A little sumthin' sumthin'.
You better stop.
I know Jackie damn well does not like Clayanna.
As much as she wanna be like, "Hey, girl"
you know she's full of [bleep].
Have you ever been to a male strip club?
-Never. -Me neither.
That's why I'm like, "Oh, God. I'm scared."
Don't send out any shrimps.

All right, ladies, so I'm gonna need one volunteer
to come to the stage and sit in this chair.
I'm not sure where Evelyn and Lavon stand at this point.
But I wanna make sure that Evelyn receives
the full bachelorette treatment
in case everything moves forward with them and a ring.
You welcome, girl.
[music]
[cheering]
Ah!
The way this man is moving on Evelyn,
she enjoying that.
He's gyrating and she smiling and letting him on
like little bit more of them groceries in your face,
you might take you bite of them apples.
I'm having a good time.
I just feel like some of the stuff that he's doing
is hilarious,
but Lavon and I have been on a break for a little while.
And this is the most fun I've seen
in the last couple months.
And I'll take it.
[Announcer] All right, ladies and dear friends,
are these two beautiful brides.
So I need you to stand up, take some dollar bills,
and put it all around these lovely ladies.

I'm being extremely petty
and I love every second of it.
And here we go.
Back to the petty bull[bleep]!
It's just ridiculous.
These bitches keep trying to come for me.
I think Evelyn and Jennifer
thought that I was going to cower,
but that is just absolutely not who I am.
I'm not gonna cower for none of them hags.
[sighing]
I know how petty Jen can be,
so I do not doubt Clayanna for a second.
But we're having such a good night.
I wanna try to diffuse the situation
and get everybody back on the same track
so we can finish having fun.
They already tricked me to come to a male revue
and Jackie told me there was gonna be bitches here.
[Brittany] The way some of these women act,
it really goes to show that age does not dictate maturity.
And a complete double standard in this group.
[Jackie] You don't go to a male strip club revue,
have some fun, eat some good food,
and then get your wig snatched off.
And get carried out with security.
Damn, that ain't a night you wanna have,
especially in Arizona.
It's no secret that Evelyn and I have had our ups and downs,
but the way she had my back tonight,
she really is riding for me
and it makes me really happy
to have my friend back like this.
[Clayanna] How am I the one being picked up,
taken out?
I felt like that was so unfair
because I never put my hands on anybody.
That was Evelyn.
[women cheering]
What the [bleep] is going on here?
This [bleep] is getting a little ghetto.
I think it'd have been one thing if Clayanna ran Jen down
and started swinging on her.
But Clayanna just standing over her
like doo-doo-doo,
and didn't do anything.
That didn't call for all that.
And Jen, if she did not want a problem with Clayanna,
then she should've kept her [bleep]-suckers closed.
End of story.
So [bleep] sick of this [bleep], bruh.
I don't even understand.
I will drag your mother[bleep] ass, bitch.
I kept seeing Jac'eil back and forth, back and forth.
No, because what the story was,
it was saying something ho, and I was like...
-So you were pointing at her? -Yes.
You didn't need to do that.
Exactly.
What happened between Clayanna, Jen, and Evelyn
was really petty and I feel like
it should've never happened on both ends.
I was just trying to diffuse the situation
so we can keep having fun.
And I don't know,
I think I might've pissed Clayanna off a little bit more.
I didn't think Clayanna was gonna go over there
like a Russian bull.
[bleep].
Where you at?
She must be outside somewhere.
Yo, yo.
Wait, hold on. She can't be by herself.
[Evelyn] I got your mother[bleep] wig.
[Woman] Ev, Ev, Ev.
Jennifer, let me tell you something.
That bitch came for you, I don't care.
No, I love you, I love you.
You ain't gotta do all that. I love you.
I promise you I love you.
And that bitch ain't worth it.
[Evelyn] Jennifer, I don't care what we been through.
I know, I know, I know. I love you for it.
And we got this.
It's not that. [bleep] her.
I wish that bitch would... I swear.
I wish that bitch would...
Where's our car? Let's just go.
[Evelyn] I meant what I said at the shaman.
And me being so protective of Jennifer
just really, really shows me that my feelings
and the things that I've been harboring for Jennifer
I have released.
And I'm excited about that,
so we are back, bitches.
[Jackie] Come on, y'all.
[Evelyn] [bleep] trying to be a bully.
Oh, Lord. Thank you, Jesus.
[Woman] I'm ready to go home.
[Jackie] I'm so sorry, you guys.
I thought we was gonna go and have a good time.
And I was trying everything I could.
Well, we had a good time until...
[Jackie] I hope so. I'm [bleep] done.
[bleep] her. Let me tell you. I'm gonna go to sleep.
And I'm gonna feel amazing tonight.
And I'm gonna be feeling great.
You know what's refreshing
is that you and I are on the same page.
Because, without saying any words,
'cause, end of the day, I ain't doing no talking for nobody.
It's just all right, cool.
That's bet.
Let's FaceTime Brooke. Hold on.
-She gonna laugh. Hold on. -Oh, hell, yeah.
Oh, here we go, here we go.
[Brooke] What are y'all doing?
Bitch, no, bitch, wake up!
She done snatched her wig off in the damn strip club.
-Clayanna. -[Brooke] Wait, what?
She ran up on Jen in the strip club.
[Brooke] No, she did not.
-Yes, she did. Look. -Yes, the [bleep] she did.
And I snatched her mother[bleep] wig up.
-[Brooke] No! -Yes, literally.
-Sis. -Snatched her crack.
[Woman] Quiet ride home.
[Brooke] No, Jackie, I said take a picture Evelyn, please.
Okay. I'm gonna send it to you. I promise.
I wrong. Y'all think it's funny...
-I had a great time, though. -Me too.
-I had a great time. -Did you guys have fun, really?
You know what, Jackie? Despite the differences,
-I had an amazing time. -Okay.
I really had fun too. And the parting gift
-is just amazing. -Amazing. Amazing.
[Jackie] Coming up on Basketball Wives...
Hi.
Thank you, guys, for having me.
My daughter passed away. She was a cosmetologist.
And I just made the decision
to turn my pain into a purpose.
[music]
Brooke, how you doing?
[Brooke] Hey, I'm good. How are you?
-Good to see you. -[Brooke] Good to see you too.
Thank you for coming.
Oh, thank you for having me.
[Brooke] Kayvon is a linebacker for the New York Giants
and he is a very close family friend.
Kayvon is one of the first guys
that I thought about that can sign a jersey
for me to be able to auction off
at my fundraiser for K&B Life Inc.
So this means so much. I appreciate it.
Can you just tell me a little more about the foundation?
Yeah, so I started a non-profit for my daughter
who passed away last year.
Kayla went to cosmetology school,
so your jersey is gonna be a part of the fundraiser
to raise money
to be able to help pay for tuition.
It's expensive. It's $20,000.
And if we can't pay tuition,
at least we can do kits and books,
whichever way we can give back.
No, I think that's amazing.
My mom went to cosmetology school.
-[Brooke] Really? -So I feel that. Yeah.
Back when I was young, growing up.
I did too. Let's go.
Yeah, I'm happy to be a part of it.
Thank you so much.
This means so much.
I know we gonna get a lot of money for this.
Man, hopefully.
This is the very first item that I have received
for the fundraiser.
Our goal is to raise at least $20,000
and now that I have this jersey, I'm feeling
so much more confident
and I feel like things are definitely gonna go smoothly.
That's amazing. Love it.
No, it look good. So now you gotta be a Giants fan.

Oh, my God.
[Jac'eil] Go get changed for this brunch.
[knocking on door]
-[Brittany] Hi. So do you. -You look so cute.
[Brittany] I love your outfit, oh, my goodness.
-You smell good. -You smell good.
Valentino. What are you wearing?
Oh, this is Tom Ford.
-[Brittany] How are you doing? -I'm doing good.
So what you wearing to brunch?
I'm not going. [snickering]
-You not going to brunch? -[Brittany] Mm-mm.
Are you?
[Jac'Eil] I'm going. I'm hungry.
I want food.
Yeah, no, I'm not going to brunch.
It's just a little too much for me.
I need some time to just recalibrate.
I spoke with Clayanna.
She went back home a little early.
-Oh, okay. -[Brittany] Yeah, so...
If Clayanna wanted to be done with this group,
I really wouldn't blame her.
I think that, collectively, it's very exhausting.
And why go where you're tolerated
when you can go where you're celebrated?
I totally get her point of view
and I do feel like everything that happened
was unprovoked.
Standing up with somebody is wrong.
Y'all can argue all day long, push each other out the way,
do whatever you gotta do.
I feel like, why we pulling the wig off?
That is humiliating.
I don't care what nobody say.
Why we pulling the wig off if you're neutral?
My question to you is,
if Jen was doing all that,
calling you a ho and pointing at you like that,
what would be your response?
I'ma call her a [bleep] ho back.
I'm gonna just be ugly. I'm gonna be like,
"You a [bleep] ho.
The [bleep], ho?"
Oh, yeah.
I'm hungry.
Same.
I'm ready to get on this plate.
-You are? -Yes.
I wish I click my heels and be in West Hollywood.
I am so happy that this little breakfast brunch
is the last thing that Jackie has on her itinerary.
Honestly, I'm tired.
I feel depleted.
I think that everything that happened at the strip club
was just so uncalled for.
I'm just, I'm all the way done.
I need some positivity in my life.
Hell, yeah.
Right. Where's the shaman when you need him?
-Hey. -[Woman] Hi.
So pretty in Tiffany blue.
Hey, mamacita.
Last night was crazy.
But everybody seem to be in a good mood right now.
How'd you sleep?
I'm just drained at this point.
-[Vanessa] Hey. -Hey.
-Hi. -Hi.
Last night, Clayanna, we are not friends,
but I'm not gonna mistreat you 'cause you there.
And last night, I really feel
like she wanted to be present.
[Jackie] I get what you saying, Jac'Eil,
but it ain't even about being mean.
It ain't even about being nice. It's about us
collectively being together
and being around each other organically.
Jennifer was having fun.
I'm not saying I condone sayin, "This ho is in the house."
By her doing this, if she's teasing at you
and poking at you, that's not running up in your space,
-trying to act aggressive. -Right.
[Jac'Eil] I said, Clayanna, y'all gonna talk about this.
If you saying you wanna go talk to somebody,
why you gotta take your shoes off?
I don't know. So that's what I'm saying
when I was trying to grab her, it was like Sonic the Hedgehog.
She was like [whooshing].
I'm sitting there and then, through my peripheral,
I see Clayanna standing over her.
So at that point, I stood up
and then I ended up with her wig in my hand.
Wait, you snatched her wig?
I, literally... You know how somebody be like,
"I snatched her mother[bleep] wig"?
It was in my hand.
Sounds like Clayanna lost her [bleep] again
and I can't say that I'm surprised.
I don't live with a lot of regrets,
but I do regret not going to the strip club.
[Waitress] You ladies wanna order anything?
Yeah, I'll have the oatmeal with everything on the side.
Can I get an ice water, please, and a purple energy bowl?
Can I get the pancakes please?
Wait, is Brittany coming?
No, I talked to Brittany. She says she's not coming. No.
What is Brittany's stance on it?
Is she upset? 'Cause she was upset last night.
Brittany didn't wanna come because she just feel like
she know Clayanna have done a lot of stuff to everybody,
she just feels like Clayanna was trying.
And she just feel like when Jennifer was saying...
why are you saying the ho [bleep] to her?
And she like in her own zone. She ain't bothering you.
For her not being here today, you're inserting yourself
into something that has nothing to do with you.
I feel like I've been a good friend
to Brittany from the beginning.
Despite all the crazy and chaos,
I supported her all the way through,
and her not coming made me feel
like she was picking a side.
At least call me. Say something.
She didn't say anything.
Clayanna is not innocent.
The same way Clayanna went and had a conversation with you,
she could've pulled Jennifer to the side
and been like, "All right, let's discuss
what the [bleep] going on."
Instead, she took her shoes off and she ran up,
and then what ended up happening happened.
My preference is not to be around her
and I'm not going to be around her, moving forward.
There is no apology. There's no fixing.
There's nothing.
I really don't like having to tell someone
that they are no longer a part of the sisterhood
'cause I feel like everybody deserves to be a part of it.
But the way Clayana is acting, there's no other choice.
Thank you so much.
[Jackie] Listen, you guys,
we can talk about this heffer all day every day.
But, look, overall, we had a good time.
I hope you enjoyed the shaman.
I think that was one of the highlights of the trip.
[Woman] That was amazing.
I wanna release any negative energy
I have towards Jennifer.
[Jennifer] I would like to be a better friend.
That's my sister.
Brooke's party, before the blizzard,
it was off the chain, wasn't it?
[cast cheering]
I think we got a lot resolved, you guys.
I wanted to just say that I did apologize
to Jennifer.
Well, so I honestly didn't mean it
to be in your business.
Honestly, it was coming from a caring place.
And I'm going to, moving forward,
I will not collect any bills
until you ask me for help.
I do appreciate, also, Evelyn and I
had a conversation.
I really sincerely do appreciate that
and everything that we talked about.
I meant what I said. I'm genuinely here for you.
Let's go, y'all. Let's hit LA.
We headed to the airport. Let's go turn up there.
[Jennifer] Snatch some more wigs.
[Jackie] Coming up on Basketball Wives...
I just feel like this group
has really been a lot for me.
Just because something may not be directly happening to me,
doesn't mean that I am not affected by it.
[Christian] Rover, come here.
Come here.
Come here, boy.
What you doing? What you doing?
His face is just so perfect.
You're just so perfect.
Every time Christian picks me up from the airport,
he always has a great surprise for me,
whether it's flowers, a gift,
but this time, he completely outdid his-self.
Oh, my God!
Say, "Hi, Mommy. Say, "Hi, Mommy.
Never in a million years, did I think
that he would go get the dog without me.
I was supposed to be a joint thing,
but I'm happy.
I can live with the decision.
He brings me so much joy.
I'm just so happy to have him.
What better to come home to this little dude right here?
It was definitely, ooh, the perfect ending
to that nightmare of a trip
that I had just got off of.
What's going on?
Vanessa has this whole file on you.
And I'm like, "Girl, we don't have no secrets."
-Right. -[Jennifer] "And why you
so invested and concerned?
Because I'm actually not your friend?"
So you know I read her her rights.
Yeah.
Because I'm not gonna let nobody talk bad about you.
-Vice versa. -Like, never.
When people are so invested in other people's [bleep],
you are deflecting from some [bleep] that's going on
in your real life.
Miserable people try to bring happy people down
-to their level. -Yeah.
And wanna bring you misery.
-They want company. -Yeah.
I'm not here to keep them company.
[cellphone ringing]
[Evelyn] Oh, hey.
I'm unpacking all my stuff
from this dreadful trip.
Yeah.
Oh, thank you.
After Arizona and everything that happened,
I'm just glad to be at home.
I don't know if I have enough minutes in a day
to tell you everything that transpired.
I need a vacation from a vacation from a vacation.
Yeah.
I haven't seen Lavon in a couple of months,
so I'm excited to see him
because we can have a nice time together
and just see where things go.
We'll talk when you get back in town.
All right, bye.
Talk when I get there.
Hi. How are you?
You got your hands full with some goodies.
These are for you today for your students.
Aw, thank you.
Today, I'm gonna go and speak to the ladies
at Universal College Of Beauty
and explain to them what K&B Life Inc. is all about.
I'm happy for both y'all.
I'm here to support any way possible.
Thank you.
[Brooke] I am so grateful for Jac'eil's support.
She has such a good spirit and such a good soul.
She is an amazing hairstylist.
She also has her own haircare line.
[music]
-[Brooke] Hi. -[Class] Hi!
-So good to see you. -Good to see you.
-Thank you. -Thank you.
-Hi. -[Class] Hi.
[Brooke] Thank you, guys, for having me.
I'm from South Central LA, born and raised.
I also went to beauty college
when I was 18 years old
and I owned my own hair salon when I was 21.
My daughter passed away.
She was a cosmetologist.
And I just made the decision to turn my pain into a purpose
and into power.
So I started a nonprofit to honor her legacy
and to keep her name alive.
I know that going to cosmetology school
is a struggle financially.
So what we wanna do is provide grants
to students who are excelling
or even just trying to start.
Kayla is definitely at the forefront of my mind today.
Each step that we take in the legacy of her name
is something that I feel like I'm honoring my daughter
and it also helps to heal me.
I'm here to help to be a solution
so that you can move on and go to the next step.
You being here today is divine-inspired
because this week was the first week
we got approved to train aestheticians.
[Brooke] Oh, wow, congratulations.
[Ken] Ms. Brooke, I want you to know
that the first aesthetician student
that walked in here is gonna get a $500 scholarship
in Kayla's name.
Thank you.
Hearing Universal College of Beauty
is going to offer their own scholarship
in Kayla's name
melts my heart and lets me know
that Kayla is helping to guide me through this journey.
[Woman] okay, one, two, three, say, "UCB."
[Students] UCB!
-[Woman] Hey, girl. -[Woman 2] Hey babay..
Turn around and let me see you.
Yeah, no, let me see all that.
-You look amazing. -You look amazing.
I love your makeup and your hair.
-You're so gorgeous. -You're so gorgeous.
How's everything been going?
It's been going good.
I been helping Brooke with her fundraiser for her daughter.
And she been really needing it
'cause she been really stressed out.
Yeah, I can imagine.
Since I got back from Arizona,
I been helping Brooke with her nonprofit,
which I love to do,
but I haven't had a chance to catch up with Brittany yet.
She was still pissed when we left Arizona.
So I'm trying to check her temperature.
-So... -How do you...
Girl, look, wait, look,
both of us, we ready to chatter.
Yeah. How's everything been?
The brunch, I know I didn't go.
-You didn't. -Nope.
Evelyn's feeling's was kinda hurt cause you wasn't there.
I just did not feel like breaking down how I was feeling
about the situation with Clayanna
and with her wig,
and then Evelyn saying she's neutral
and Jen antagonizing her.
I just didn't feel like getting into all that.
Right.
So, for me, I'm just gonna remove myself.
I just feel like this group has really been a lot for me.
That's why I haven't seen any of the other ladies
since Arizona.
This is how I protect myself.
The most off-putting thing about this group after Arizona
was the way that everyone treats one another.
And just because something may not be directly happening to me,
doesn't mean that I'm not affected by it.
How did it go? How was it with everyone?
It went well. The wig part was embarrassing.
'Cause as a hairstylist and doing hair,
it is embarrassing for your wig to be pulled out.
But Evelyn really made a point
that really makes a lot of sense
that she really was neutral to the situation,
but that her and Jen has been friends for a long time.
So when Clayanna came over there
and stood over Jen, that's another thing
because, as her friend, at the end of the day,
no matter we at a [bleep] celebration,
no matter what's going on,
she's gonna protect Jennifer.
Whether she's right or wrong. I don't feel like that's wrong.
It's not that you can't change your mind
when facts are presented,
Jac'Eil may have defended Clayanna's honor,
but I just feel like she changed her tune
and it's just back in the Neutral Nancy department.
Honestly, if you or me or whoever
would've called any of these women out their name,
what do you think is gonna happen?
Not every person is gonna give the righteous answer
or walk away or...
-Well, yeah, of course not. -Not everybody's playing around.
And at the end of the day, we don't know Clayanna's backstory.
We don't know what she's been through.
We don't know any of that.
So it's not that I don't understand
standing up for your friend, I get that,
but the reality is, is that Jen started it.
So if Jen wasn't ready to accept whatever comes behind that,
she shouldn't have tried it. I'm not about
to call someone a ho and then be like,
"Oh, my God, they ran up on me.
Oh, my God!"
I'm just not gonna say [bleep].
I don't want any problems. It's just very simple.
When Brooke and I weren't speaking,
did you ever see me antagonize her?
Trying to poke and poke and poke until I got a reaction?
No. Clayanna was not bothering Jen.
She was not antagonizing her.
So I understand all that,
but Evelyn feel like you was picking sides.
You inserted yourself in the situation.
I think it's very ironic
that she felt I was inserting myself
when she literally inserted herself.
So for me it's like, "Pot, meet Kettle," I guess.
I just feel like that something y'all need to discuss.
Yeah.
Oh, we double-dating it tonight.
We let the ladies have some time to themselves.
He seems like he genuinely loves you.
-Hi. -[Jason] How you doing?
My name is Jason. Pleasure to meet you.
Can I get a hug?
Oh, my God!
I wanted to talk to Vanessa.
I know it's not our business,
but my spirit tells me she's dealing with stuff.
Some of the things that I dealt with
in different relationships
was men telling me I was never gonna be [bleep].
I've had three near-death experiences.
