[Jackie] Previously on Basketball Wives...
My cousin Tyler tells me
that my youngest son, Shawn,
told her that he has a baby.
Stop it.
Maybe this is something that you could help me with.
Can I see your guest list?
What?
[Christian] The whole plus-one,
"Oh, I'm brining the guy that I sleep with."
You have to look at things like, who do you want in the room?
[sighs]
Christian with this no plus-ones,
I'm like, "Babe, we can't do that."
I started doing some digging.
[gasps]
[Evelyn] Jackie Marie Wilson, the offense is prostitution.
She was convicted.
There's a lot to her that we just don't know.
I don't understand why she's even being invited to this.
As far as you having a loyalty to her.
You know I rock with you.
But the damn girl is in the mix.
You don't have to be.
I hope I didn't make a mistake.
You did.

[Brandi] Last night at my cooking event,
Evelyn was out of pocket.
Why are you questioning me? Girl, go question your kids.
Question yourself,
but get out of my business. Ho.
But, right now, I'm on my way to pick up my son
and my husband from the airport.
So this is all I need to worry about.
There is my stinky.
Hi... Wait, what? Whoa, whoa! Hey!
Oh, my God! Jason!
Can you buff that out?
Coming back to LA, I have been in work mode,
and my son's health scare
has really put everything in perspective for me.
I could care less about anything
that's dealing with drama.
So happy y'all are here. I missed y'all!
Missed you more.
-[Jason] I missed you more. -You missed me more?
-Sometimes. -Oh, wow. Really?
Aw. [all laughing]

[Christian] Rover, come here.
Do you want a bagel? I know you want a mimosa.
It's 5:00 somewhere, so...
[Jennifer chuckling]
So let me get this stuff set up.
And I gotta teach you how to use this stuff too, babe.
Babe, I told you, I'm just the talent.
But thus far, we've been doing well.
We're talking 25,000 subscribers.
Along with our marriage counseling,
our YouTube channel is a great way
for us to have open dialogue
to talk about different obstacles
that sometimes are a little challenging.
-[Christian] Ready? -[Jennifer] Yeah.
What's up, YouTube family,
welcome to another episode of Life With Jenn & CG.
Today, we are talking about
something that we've never talked about.
And it is, [imitates parade chant],
we're talking about our dealbreakers.
In a relationship.
My top dealbreaker is cheating.
Why would you risk it all for a nut?
And first of all, there are various ways of cheating.
What is the worst form of cheating to you?
-That's tough. -Yeah, it's because
everyone wants to go physical.
You have this picture in your head
of your partner
having sexual intercourse with this person.
It haunts you.
What if you walk in on them? Ooh!
-Woo! -Oof!
-Walking in? -Just bury me alive.
All right, let's go into my dealbreaker.
-Number one. -Yeah.
The teeth and the feet, for me, on a woman,
I talk to Jenn about this all the time.
I do not have a foot fetish, but I do love Jenn's feet.
Feet looking good.
Listen, don't suck my toes or anything...
[Christian] I'm not gonna suck your toes, and, listen,
I don't wanna wreck this car,
so I'm definitely, I'll wait.
I don't think she saw me looking,
but I was like, "Okay, let me see, let me
check the pinky toe.
-Let me check the... -Oh, my God.
So one of my dealbreakers is you cannot be broke.
I'm sorry. Broke and me don't work.
Ha!
It's true. [Christian laughing]
You could driver for Uber.
You could do Postmates.
There's so many things you could do online to make money.
It's just, to me, that's no excuse.
I can't do broke. I'm allergic to it. I can't.
I actually asked Jenn if I could go get a job
and she told me, no, and I'm like, "Damn, why?"
What you do need-- You have a job.
I don't have a job. I have a company.
Great, but that's your...
No, that's not a job. It's...
That's your career.
That's how you make money.
But I want another...
Actually, that's not how I make money.
Babe, you don't make money off your company? Yes, you do.
No, I don't... I do, but I make money
off of a skill.
What are you talking about, sir?
We live a certain lifestyle
and you contribute to a lot of this.
He has a skill of trading.
And I guess he doesn't like to call it a job.
I could bartend at a nice hotel,
do two nights a week.
[Jennifer] I know bartenders, they make great tips.
But I don't know if those tips are gonna get me a Kelly bag.
You know what I'm saying?
So that's our dealbreakers
and we will see you next time.
-Ciao ciao. -Love.

Hi, welcome to the Blending Lab.
-How are you? -Thank you. How are you?
♪ Ooh, la la, la ♪
You guys look cute.
-Do you like wine? -No.
-Are you serious? -I'm a hood bitch.
I like tequila.
♪ Ooh, la la, la ♪
[all greeting excitedly]
[Evelyn] Me and Jenn are alcoholic.
She's a little bit of a wine-o.
[Brooke] Yeah. [all chuckling]
[Jennifer] That's you, boo.
Why I gotta be a wine-o?
[Evelyn] 'Cause you like your wine.
I like a little wine.
A wine connoisseur.
[Evelyn] I been doing a lot with my fashion line,
digging into Jackie,
and looking into Brooke's potential grandbaby.
Welcome to the Blending Lab, ladies.
[Brooke] Thanks for having us.
Now I just need to take time with my girls,
have a little wine, and just have a little fun.
[Woman] So what I'm gonna have you guys do first,
taste three of these wines.
And it's a quick try,
so don't think about, "Am I tasting plum?"
Just say, "Do I like it?"
Y'all pouring a lot of damn wine.
She said "Taste it," she didn't say, "Have a glass."
Well, my palate, I need a full gulp.
[Brooke] I like number three.
-[Jennifer] Yeah, I like three. -[Brooke] Yeah, three.
-[Evelyn] I like two. -[Jennifer] You do?
[griping] [Woman] Again.
[Woman] So let's do 30 milliliters
of number three,
10 milliliters of number 1 and 2.
[Evelyn] This is a lot of math.
Somebody's drunk.
[Jennifer] I'ma be doing all this manual labor.
So did you guys have fun at the cooking class?
It was a lot of moving parts.
-It really was. -[Jennifer] It was...
Yes, that's...
This is what I'm trying to get clarity on.
So a prostitution charge, right?
A conviction.
What does that entail?
What, did they catch you in the act?
Soliciting.
Even if it was just the soliciting,
when she said it was $20 for head,
boom, they swooped up on her and clang, clang.
It might've been undercover.
-Yeah. Yeah. -That's true.
I'ma just being real with y'all.
If I was in the room and Brooke wasn't there,
y'all would've pulled up that prostitution thing,
I would've broke all your [bleep] nose.
Cheyenne, she's just like, "I'm not gonna look at it."
Ooh, and she's a prostitute?
In 1987.
[Brooke] Oh, my God.
I don't know if you wanna look at it.
I don't really wanna see it.
She was acting like she was better than us.
I don't really know that version of her.
I know the version of the wettest [bleep].
[group gasping]
So I was just trying to figure out
how we got to the point, Jackie is now invited,
when we were all feeling a way.
So what transpired to get to this point
where she's invited and she gets a plus-one?
Right.
[Evelyn] Prior to you getting there,
Brandi gave us a whole spiel. She was like,
"Well, I think she is taking some accountability."
I feel like Brandi fell for the okey-doke with Jackie
once again.
She's been there with me from the beginning.
She knows the things that Jackie said,
like I'm talking to her, I'm crying,
I'm telling her how it makes me feel.
-She knows. -[Jennifer] Right.
Brandi, what are you thinking?
You have been through the thick of the mud with me
from my divorce to me losing Kayla,
to Jackie doing these disgusting public antic interviews.
I'm not confused, I'm hurt.
-It's like a slap in the face. -Right.
That's why I feel how I feel about Brandi,
and it's like I don't know her like that,
but I'm seeing what you're doing already.
And I'm looking at her like,
"Mm, I don't know if this is
the [bleep] game you wanna play."
[Jackie] Coming up on Basketball Wives...
Did you get any more information on Shawn's baby?
He won't give it to me.
Evelyn said I wasn't a good friend of Brooke.
[Jennifer] Some conversations need to be had.
Chill.
While you were questioning me,
you should've turned to the left,
asking why she was not being a friend.
Brooke still feels a way about it.
I'm asking you, sweetie, what is it that you want?
[Evelyn] Don't step closer to me.
If I wanted to fight you, I will fight you.

It's family day.
My Jasons are here for a week
and I'm taking my family to Shot of Art.
[Woman] Our activity consists of us filling balloons with paint.
First off, you guys gotta choose five colors.
My son loves to paint
and I just wanna get my family involved
and just have some fun.
[loud banging]

[Brandi] Oh, hey, it's my turn.
[Jason] My bad, go ahead, go ahead.
-What you aiming at? -[Brandi] Why you pushing me?
What are you aiming at?
You're pushing me.
[Brandi laughing] [all cheering]
-[Jason] Wow! -[Brandi] Wow, that's cool.
I think our job is done here.
Group hug.
Aah!
[Woman] All right, I'm gonna go do the other activity.
Jason, you guys are welcome to just chill.
Sit down, all right?
[Brandi] Hey, this was fun.
I don't I ever done nothing like this.
You got paint all right here.
But, [bleep], we came a long way.
I'm taking paint off of your leg.
I ain't even wanna move. When the last time you did this?
-Dang. -I feel lucky today.
My relationship after the Iyanla interview
it was really bad for a while.
We were on separate flights.
We were in separate rooms.
We was in separate everything.
We were told to do counseling.
And we made it through,
but it took a lot of work.
I don't wanna say we have a trauma bond
or anything like that,
but you have been there with me from cancer,
figuring out with baby Jason,
his heart situation.
You really been holding it down
and I respect that through everything.
The part about it is I didn't know I could be,
so therefore you brought it out of me.
With what we went through with our son,
it did make our relationship stronger.
There was no time for arguing.
We were a team.
It's still a work-in-progress,
but I'm hoping with me taking time with myself in LA
makes our relationship even closer.
I'm happy we got to do stuff like this.
It's Mom and Daddy time.
Yeah, it is. I said damn sure the same thing.
I wanna do something with Jenn and Christian,
a double date or something.
I've never met Christian before.
-Who's Christian? -Her boyfriend.
-Oh, you said that. -I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
Her fiance.
I don't know him at all, but she's cool.
-All right, that's cool. -Love you.
I had fun.
We gotta do... Your son is coming. Stop.

Period. Okay.
[Jac'Eil] While Tasha's away,
I been looking for a community.
It's so important for me to meet
with other LGBTQ women.
I can just really just be myself
and be with my family and just feel safe.
And I stumbled across Queer Aunties
on social media, and I'm so excited.
I gotta introduce you to some more Aunties over here.
Queer Aunties is a black-owned LGBTQ organization
that hosts community service events.
And they know how to have fun.
[Woman] How long you been in LA for?
[Jac'Eil] I been in LA for a while.
-Oh, you have? Okay. -[Jac'Eil] Yeah.
-I just been... -[Man] Low-key.
[Jac'Eil] I have a 14-year-old son.

She was in training camp, and, yeah, I seen her

How long you been gay?
All my life. I just got a kid.

My momma was [bleep] tripping.
Yeah, yeah.
So I'm her only girl.
So just to try to build that relationship with her,
I'm like, yeah, I got a boyfriend.
Growing up and coming out was hard
because my mom, she did not handle it well.
And, honestly, we didn't talk
a year or so after that.
It was emotional. I wanted that support.
I'm so glad you're here.
I'm glad too.
I finally get to be with my people.
Yeah, this is gonna be fun.
[Jac'Eil] So that's why I want to build
and LGBTQ family here and give back
because I can only imagine how many
other people are going through the same thing.
-We gotta get you connected. -Yes.
To these people and this community service
'cause we like to have a good time,

And I'm definitely excited to get a chance to meet Jason.
And Christian wants to know everybody on the guest list.
So we could check one off that box, honey.
Okay, how long they been married?
They've been married for quite some time.
They've had a lot of things that's been in the media.
He went on a show and said
he slept with some astronomical number of women.
Oof, that's tough.
But I think they're out of the storm.
Hello.

I'm happy that you've found your one.

Cheers to being married.
[all] Cheers.
[Brandi] So how's the wedding planning?
[Christian] Stressful.
It's just a lot of moving parts.
We're doing three days of events.
Do you have your dress?
I have the main one,
but then I need four other dresses.
-Four? -Three other, right?
[Jennifer] No, I'm changing twice at the reception.
Damn, that's a lot of money too.
So five, okay.
That just happened.
Christian might be a little bit over his head
with this wedding
because I know my girl and she has high expectations.
And I hope he can keep up.
You inviting all the ladies to the...
or you inviting some?
Not everybody.
Jackie is like...
I feel like Jackie has been MIA.
Yeah. So she missed my thing.
Your cooking class.
[Brandi] Yeah. So, I didn't bring it up.
What?
Evelyn said what she said
about me inviting Jackie.
And she felt like I wasn't a good friend of Brooke.
I know your intentions.
I get it.
You had a conversation with Jackie.
I don't feel like you invited her out of malice.
[Jennifer] Some conversations need to be had
and this can be put to bed, hopefully.
Chill.
[Jackie] Coming up on Basketball Wives...
If my daughter went through what you went through,
I would not like him.
I wouldn't be able to [bleep] with him at all.
The budget is getting crazy
and then, of course, with me still playing restitution.
We're talking some real money.
[thumping hip-hop music]
[doorbell ringing]
[Woman] Who is it?
The best neighbor in the neighborhood.
Hi, boo. You hungry?
[Evelyn] Yeah, I'm always hungry.
Wait, are you guys babysitting Suki?
[Shanti] Yeah, she came a couple days ago.
[Evelyn] [baby talk] Oh, my God! Hi!
[Shanti] Brooke's coming by too.
-[Evelyn] Oh, good. -[Gerren] What up?
[Evelyn] What's up, Bam?
[Evelyn] Gerren and Shanti I actually met
because my son, and Gerren and Shanti's son
became really, really good friends.
I didn't realize right away that Gerren
is Brooke's brother.
-Family. Hi! -[Brooke] Hi!
As we know, it takes a village to raise the kids.
So a lot of the times,
we're sharing and doing drop-offs.
I have always been a single mom my whole life,
so to have a support system is huge.
[Brooke] Has Suki been a good girl?
[Gerren] That's your Mini Me.
[Brooke] No, she really is. She's my child.
So what else has been going on in life?
Did you get any more information on Shawn's baby?
[Brooke] Well, I have the mom's name
and the baby's name.
[bleep] all that.
Why don't you just go knock on the mother[bleep] door?
I don't have the full address.
If I had the address, I would've been pulled it.
He know where the hell she live.
He don't wanna give it to me.
That's the reason why I got Evelyn involved,
so she can help me.
There is a possibility that the mom
will say that she doesn't want anything to do with us.
And if Shawn is not stepping up,
then, as a grandparent, I will wanna know
what my rights are.
Shawn has mental health issues.
So that's just a different dynamic.
You know what I'm saying?
When did you first notice that?
When he was nine.
-Really? -[Brooke] Yeah.
He did something really horrific.
And I called the therapist, screaming, crying,
'cause I didn't know what to do.
She told me to take him immediately
to the adolescent psych ward.
And that's when he got on meds and everything.
[exhales dramatically]
For real, people don't understand
I really experienced trauma with a child
before I lost my child and had that trauma.
I cannot imagine what she goes through
on a day-to-day.
This Kayla, him, and my old son.
Oh, my God. He's your twin.
[Brooke] My twin. My twin.
[Evelyn] One thing that I never wanna do
is add more stress onto her life.
I want to help Brooke the best way I can.
I always say to myself,
people need to give you grace.
[Brooke] Thank you.
Because I wouldn't be able to show up
how you show up all the time.
[Brooke] Life is just really crazy.

Reality was setting in
like, "Oh, [bleep], this wedding's really happening,"
and I know there's a lot of moving parts
to manage with this.
It's so many different tedious things.
DJ, caterer, bridal suite salon,
groom suite salon.
It's just like, "Ah, damn." The budget is getting crazy.
Yeah.
And then, of course, you know the situation we talked about
with me and parole and still paying restitution.
Yeah.
It's a astronomical amount that I have to give to them
in order to make sure I'm off.
And we're talking, we're talking,
a little under $250,000.
[dramatic music]
Christian is on probation from a case 10 years ago
that is still affecting his life.
I went to prison behind a toxic relationship.
Really?
Never put my hands on her, right?
I'm blocking the door,
so I'm trying to have a conversation.
It gets heated.
And, of course, the judge had it out for me.
She sent me to prison.
I knew about the restitution since day one.
However, I didn't know the number.
We have this extravagant wedding
that is going to cost somewhere near that.
It's just bad timing.
So, basically, there's a quarter-million dollars left.
That's $50,000 a month.
$50K, but this is the reason
why I wanna be released from their control
because there's no hindrance
one me traveling outside the country.
And I would hate for that to happen
a month before our wedding.
Yeah.
Well, I think it is time for us to call her.
You got the link?
I do have the link.
I'm thinking about, "Oh, my God,
we're about to talk to our wedding planner.
She's definitely gonna ask us about budget,"
and it's a lot to digest.
It's giving me anxiety.
[speaking French]
Ooh, we got a lot of work to do.
Okay, do we have updated account on who RSVP'd?
So I feel like we have to work on the budget.
And then we'll circle back in a couple days
and make sure we're in the budget frame.
And, I don't know, we need to figure this out.
[Woman] Coming up on Basketball Wives...

After meeting with Queer Aunties,
I get a text from Bri to let me know
that they're partnering with Project Angel Food
to prep and delivery meals to the sick.
Bri invited me to come along and bring friend.
I invited the other ladies to join me today
to support me in giving back.
[all cheerfully greeting]
Thanks for inviting me.
[Evelyn] So what are we doing today?
[Jac'Eil] We're going to Project Angel Food.
We gonna be putting together boxes of food

Oh, wow.
[Jac'Eil] So we're gonna go deliver and give back to them,

Tonight, I want y'all girls to be ready.
We're gonna go to a rooftop and just have fun

And Queer Aunties is coming. I want y'all to meet them.
[Woman] That's nice.
[Jac'Eil] I invited you all

So I didn't invite Jackie
'cause I know how you feel.
And I just wanna respect everybody wishes

Wait, so since the cooking class,
have you heard from her? Has anybody heard from her?
No, she blocked on everything.
Where is Jackie Christie?
When this group of ladies gets together,
Jackie makes her presence known.
And she has been quiet as a church mouse.
It's actually been a breath of fresh air.
[Evelyn] It really has.
And I didn't invite Cheyenne because I don't know her.
That would be weird.
I'm gonna be honest, I can't relate to her
because she didn't take up for her friend.
I think, while you were questioning me
about being friends with her,
you should've turned to the left,
asking why she was not being a friend.
No, I don't need to question her for [bleep].
I don't care about Jackie and I don't really,
I don't really know Cheyenne.
Well, y'all was having lunch.
Okay, we had coffee one time.
-I was like... -I don't know her like that.
This girl should've been questioning her.
No, if I was being protective of either one of them,
I would've questioned them.
First of all, dummy,
you can't compare one with the other.
We don't know Cheyenne like that.
But you, Brandi, are friends with Brooke.
I feel like she's setting the tone for this day,
and I'm annoyed.
Hey, pickleball.
We want on a couples' date for it.
Oh, you guys went on a couples' date
-to do that? Okay. -Oh, that's cute.
[Brandi] It was fun.
Big Jason was acting like he was really... [manly grunts]
I was like, "Okay. Okay."
[Evelyn] What does your mom think about him?
Well, we've been knowing each other since high school.
And so, she, that's like her son.
But she doesn't like the past.
If my daughter went through what you went through,
I would not like him.
I wouldn't be able to [bleep] with him at all.
Girl, I don't even know you like that.
Why are you so pressing in my business right now?
Can we get to know each other a little bit?
[Jac'Eil] We're here!
[party music]
Hello.
These all the ladies.
You're all so beautiful.
[Women] Thank you.
You're so handsome.
[Richard] All right.
Welcome to Project Angel Food.
Let me give you a little history.
We were born in 1989.
And at that time, we were providing comfort food
-to people dying of AIDS. -Wow.
Today, we're providing food to people living with HIV,
heart disease, lung disease, diabetes,
kidney failure, and all forms of cancer.
Wow.
So it's the LGBT's gift to all of Los Angeles.
That's so amazing.
[Man] Shall we dance?
[Woman] Let's dance.
[music]
[women greeting]
How are you?
[Jac'Eil] Going on.
Thank you so much for this.
I had to bring my ladies to come here.
[Bri] Yeah, so dope.
[Jennifer] Ooh, that thing is hot.
[Evelyn] She said four right?
[Jennifer] Yeah, four, stack them four high.
[Brooke] Brandi look confused.
[laughing]
[Evelyn] Oh, yeah, well, shocker.
Bull[bleep].
[laughing]
She was confused in the van.
[laughing]
[Brooke] Yeah, it was getting a little spicy.
[Evelyn] She was getting spicy with me, bitch.
[Brooke] I know.
-[Evelyn] It wasn't me, was it? -[Brooke] No.
[Evelyn] You tried to make a point and it was a fail.
[Brooke] [laughing] I was like,
"Oh, [bleep], how did we get here?"
[Evelyn] Oh, no, but she looking for it
and I'm gonna give it to her.
[dramatic stinger]
[Brooke] I just feel like it's an elephant in the room
at this point.
I haven't been able to have a conversation with her yet.
I don't really know what's really the [bleep] going on.
[Evelyn] Yeah, and I said to myself,
"You know what? I'm gonna chill."
[Brooke] Yeah. Right.
[Evelyn] Because this is not about this.
-This is about this. -[Brooke] Right.
[Evelyn] But you not making sense.
[Brooke] Right.
I just feel like it's really weird
that she is throwing slugs at Evelyn on the bus.
Brandi's my friend, Evelyn's my friend.
They don't really know each other like that.
But I don't want this to linger on any longer.
[EDM music]
[Man] So come on over.
This is our dispatch area,
so they're gonna get you guys set up
with the meals that you guys are gonna take out.
[Brooke] Okay.
"Wishing you health, wealth, and happiness.
This meal was made with love."
Oh, my God, it's cold.
We genuinely appreciate it. We love our volunteers.
We consider you part of the team, so thank you.
[Evelyn] Jac'Eil doing this, it means a lot,
and I feel like we need it
within this group of ladies.
We're not always dealing with the most positive conversations
within our friendship,
but this definitely balances all that out.
Thank you.
Right, we'll see you guys on the next one.
All right.
-[Jac'Eil] I'm proud of y'all. -I'm proud of you.
I'm so thankful. Thank you so much, Bri.
This means a lot.
We have to get together and do this again.
-This was amazing. -[Bri] I'll see y'all tonight.
[Evelyn] We're gonna need a massage before tonight.
[Brooke] I need one right now.
♪ La-la-la-la La-la-la-la ♪
♪ La-la-la-la-la ♪
-Hello. -Hi.
[Jac'Eil] Can we come in?
[Evelyn] We're delivering food to you.
Nice to meet you.
[women greeting]
We have your meal.
-Bye, boo. I'm so proud of you. -[Jac'Eil] Thank you so much.
-[Jac'Eil] I'm proud of you. -Thank you for doing this.
I love I get to see this side of Jac'Eil.
Obviously, she is a soon-to-be bride.
We went wedding dress shopping.
But I love that she's giving back
to the community that she's a part of.
And I want her to keep up the great work.
[Evelyn] Hi!
We got your food, girl.
Thank you so much.
-[Evelyn] Of course. -Y'all have a great day.
♪ So you wanna Go to the moon ♪
♪ But if you don't ♪
Hey, you guys.
[women greeting cheerfully]
These are my straight friends,. Y'all.
[all exclaiming]
Y'all got an amazing thing going on.
Just to go and just represent
Queer Aunties and give back,
'cause that's dope.
Y'all got a movement going on here.
And we gonna help y'all move it.
[all exclaiming]
Let it go, let me dance
And shake it till the pearls get lost
Lost in romance, let's just dance
And shake it till the pearls fall off
That was so fun.
You need to put your knee braces on.
I love them, Jac'Eil.
We just met and I vibed you.
It was at the rooftop.
You have such a good vibe.
She always used to talk about you.
Yeah, she like your new friend.
And this is taking up way too much time.
I will 100% support everything you're doing, you know that.
I do feel like there's a little elephant in the room.
And I wanna address it and I wanted to talk about it.
On the bus, you made a comment
about the loyalty, friendship thing or whatever
from what she said to you.
Whatever it is, however you guys are feeling,
just put it on the table.
I was caught off-guard with the questioning.
You were like, "I don't feel
like you were a good friend to her,"
and I'm like, "Wait, hold up. Me not good friends with her?"
Because you subjected her
to being at that table
without telling her that Jackie was gonna be there.
And then I hear you doing lunches
and dinners or whatever, and I'm like...
No, it was not lunches and dinners. It was a lunch.
But I also felt like you were trying
to be a mouthpiece for her.
Where?
[Evelyn] At your cooking class.
You were like, "Well, I think she's trying
to take responsibility," and stuff like that,
and I'm like, "Do you really feel
like this person that you know
is really taking accountability?"
I would hope.
I would hope, I would want.
-Brandi. -I would want.
Evelyn, she's not even involved in any of this, okay?
Me and Brooke are good.
There's no static there.
You are the static, baby.
Calm down. Why are you so invested?
Go sell your clothes.
Stop worrying about what me and Brooke got going on.
I wanna give people the benefit of doubt.
And I don't know if it's because
I been knowing Jackie for over 10 years.
-And I'm like... -But do you know her?
I mean...
[Brooke] How would you feel if it was the other way around
where everything that you went through with baby Jason
and then somebody's going and doing interviews,
talking about it?
That right there, in a nutshell,
says who she is as a person.
She's never gonna take accountability
for anything that she does.
I really don't wanna get emotional
or angry or frustrated.
Keep talking about my daughter.
Because it's so [bleep] personal and it's so [bleep] real,
and it's never gonna go nowhere.
[dramatic music]
[Jac'Eil] So Brandi and I both tried our best
to talk to Jackie and try to mend things,
but I don't think I went as hard as Brandi did,
trying to push her on Brooke.
I just feel like I wanna always
respect her boundaries when it comes to that situation.
[Brandi] I'm not gonna change my mind.
I do feel like Jackie owe her something.
That's my feeling.
That's what I'm not gonna continue to do.
Just keep talking to other people
about my friend,
it's just bringing up Kayla.
Her birthday just happened.
I'm sure she's just [bleep] hurt,
but even just thinking about the idea of all this [bleep].
Girl, lookit, you got nerve talking.
For you to sit on that bus
and say, "Well, you should've said something to Cheyenne,"
when you [bleep] put your friend in that position,
she's mad because of what you did.
Everybody talking about my daughter.
That's what I'm saying. It's not about...
This is not I was playing on the phone.
It's not that.
I'm really tired of talking about it
and I'm tired of everybody talking about it.
I am really so sick and tired
of people bringing Kayla's name up
in the midst of anything negative.
I feel like my friends love me differently.
And I know that they all want the best for me
and they/re protective over me,
but I need my friends
to be on the same page.
I just don't wanna talk about it right now.
I won't talk about it.
But I will say I'm sorry, Brooke.
I know that you. I really don't wanna talk it right now.
Can I have a hug?
I don't wanna do this right now.
And I'm okay. I'll just go by myself.
Thank you.
This [bleep] is so [bleep] frustrating.
♪ And shake it till the pearls get lost ♪
[suspenseful music]
[Jac'Eil] We about to resolve this.
[Brandi] Evelyn. Evelyn. I want us to get along.
But the only person that I owe any conversation with
is my friend.
I didn't wanna have this conversation.
I was never gonna have this conversation.
Brandi, what you were saying is not making her feel better.
She don't wanna talk anymore, and I felt like
it's like when I say something about Jackie,
I bring up Jackie name,
I can look at Brooke eyes
and tell like that [bleep] destroy her.
Jackie's not my friend because you hurt Brooke,
so that's the thing that people need to realize,
That you don't have to be beefing with a person
not to [bleep] with a person.
I saw her. That hurt me to see her like that.
I was on the phone with this girl
every single day.
So why did you invite her up?
Bitch, I apologized.
You said sorry, but I'm telling you
that the reason why we are in this position...
I understand that and I'm aware.
What would you like me to do?
She's the one that said that she still feels a way about it.
I'm asking you, sweetie, what is it that you want?
[indistinct]
I just felt that Jackie has a heart.
That like, she would.
No, sit down 'cause I want you to hear this...
No, hear this first... No, sit down.
You feel Jackie has a heart.
Really? But you just said...
[Jac'Eil] Sit down. I wanna say something mean.
-Don't say to me. -Come closer to me.
If I wanted to fight you, I will fight you.
Evelyn, it's not even... Stop.
It's not even that serious. It's not even that serious.
Don't tell me what to put out.
I can talk because I'm talking with emotion. Okay?
You can walk off 'cause I wanted to walk off.
I'm not finna be having a hateful heart.
You have to grow up and get over it.
[Evelyn] Next time on Basketball Wives...
[Brooke] With Brandi, it's like I was getting emotional
'cause she wasn't being accountable.
I'm not mad. I just don't [bleep] with you.
One of these lunatic jughead simple bitches
had the [bleep] audacity to pull up some bull [bleep] .
[Cheyenne] Evelyn.
[Evelyn] You a [bleep]-starter.
[Jackie] I'm a [bleep]-finisher. [chuckles]
I'm from [bleep] Southcentral L.A., bitch!
Bitch!
This got real ratchet real quick.
