- Stiletto pumps in the club.
- Yeah. - Diamond?
- Yeah.
Me and Diamond, man, we started talking in,
like, late 2005.
Stopped being together, like, late 2011.
I go on the Millennial Tour.
Diamond is on tour 'cause she's in Crime Mob.
One night, I just popped, man.
I just really--I was on demon mode, demon time.
I guess I lost myself again.
Like, yeah, I always lose myself,
man, when it comes to women.
A lot of women may call it a coward move.
But the [bleep] she was telling me,
it made me feel better about myself.
- I'm team Scrappy all day, dog.
- But listen--but listen.
This is what I'm gonna do, though.
I'm gonna sit, and I'm gonna see what she do
'cause she the one that filed.
- Obviously, I wanted to tell Scrappy
to go home to his family.
I think you got a great marriage.
I think you got a great wife.
Are you gonna fight for it, or you just gonna lay down?
But I'm not gonna just say that directly to him
because he's gonna think I'm taking Bambi's side.
- You should just make a post and say,
"I don't want to lose you, baby.
You know, you got me crazy. Bambi, girl, what's up?"
- [laughing] - "Let's rock it.
"Give me all your love. I got it.
Ooh, give me all your love with deposits, ooh."
- I don't like that. - "Give me them kids."
- I'm not doing [bleep].
- [laughs] - Nah, don't worry about it.
- I don't care what she doing.
I don't care that she telling y'all fake news.
- Yeah, all right, then, let's go.
It's over with.
Whoo! - Hey, baby.
- Coming up on "Love & Hip Hop Atlanta"...
- I'm trying to find love.
I'm a great catch, but I'm controlling.
- You want to dictate where she go, what she doing,
who she doing.
- Mm-hmm, I want to control Erica.
- [bleep]
- Because you project it. - Quit sabotaging.
You trying to sabotage. - You sabotaged your career.
You can't even go do what you got to do and come home.

- You know, although Frost Bistro has been
in business for 3 1/2 years, restructuring,
revamping, changing the menu, that's pretty heavy.
So we decided to do, like, a tasting event of the items
that we're looking to put on the menu.
Hold up, this is our new friend, Jessica.
She's a international--
- Supermodel. - Supermodel.
- I ain't never in my life meet a supermodel.
I only met IG models.
- Oh, I mean-- [laughter]
- Here they come! - Hey!
- Hi! - Hey, y'all!
- I'm kind of nervous with them tasting the food
and giving me real feedback.
But one thing about me and Rasheeda,
we both know what good food is,
and that's what we aim to bring to the table.
- Me and Kirk want to tell y'all why we asked
you all to come for brunch.
We wanted to do a switch with Frost Bistro.
We've decided to go, like, the brunch-breakfast route.
- We wanted to just give y'all a sample of the brunch.
- Yes, so with that being said,
we wanted y'all to be the first.
- So y'all can say, hey.
- The first ones to get a glimpse of the menu
that we're looking to serve.
- Good for you guys. Congratulations.
- Just walk around, grab a little taste.

- Bro, these some big [bleep] oxtails.

- So what about you? What's your real motives here?
- In Atlanta?
- Yeah, you flirt with everybody.
- I'm trying to find love.
- Why?
- I'm a great catch.
Only thing I think my bad quality is I'm controlling.
- You want to dictate where she go and what she doing,
who she doing.
- Uh-huh. I want to control Erica.
Erica!
- I don't really know Khaotic.
But when I see Scrap hanging out with him,
it's just really cringey to me because he runs around
and he messes with girls here and there
and all over the place.
Like, grow up.
- Can you ask her out? - You want me to ask her out?
- I want you to do it 'cause you want to.
- She say no.
- Erica Banks, I love your physique.
- Ooh. - You're so unique.
It just make me want to speak.
- Are you rhyming? - OK.
- I'm rhyming. - He rhyming.
- Uh-huh. - You the reason I'm grinding.
- We on good timing. - OK.
- Together, we gon' be shining. - And we gon' be grinding.
- And I buy you-- - Ahh!
[laughter]
Damn! - Don't play with it!
- So does that mean yes? - He won the date.
He won the date. Yes, I will go.
- Don't play with it. We going.
- Looking at Khaotic, I'm just getting more and more annoyed,
and his presence is really aggravating me.
And this is the person that Scrappy
is choosing to hang out with.
All right, do you have kids? You married?
- No. - Oh, OK.
'Cause I saw you on Instagram today,
like, standing next to Scrap, like,
encouraging his bull[bleep].
- We're healing.
[laughter]
- You don't [bleep] know me, but that was,
like, some [bleep] for real.
Like, this man got a whole [bleep] family and everything.
And like, you, like-- - No, I didn't encourage--
- No, you really were. - His bull[bleep].
- You were.
Sometimes it's, like, OK to just not say anything 'cause,
like, as adults and humans, you never really know,
like, what's really going on.
- Right.
- And when I saw that, that was, like,
really my first impression of you.
- I wasn't trying--
[bleep] just, like, we was just supporting the bro.
- Why wouldn't you support a bro's family?
- Wait a minute.
I didn't--I'm not encouraging him to leave his family.
[dramatic music]
- Coming up on "Love & Hip Hop Atlanta"...
- I manage our household, and he keeps not paying his rent.
So I got to find somewhere else to live.
- I'm sorry, boo.
- ♪♪ My way to the top, and there ain't no stoppin' ♪♪
[upbeat music]
- Why wouldn't you support a bro's family?
- Ooh. - Wait a minute.
I didn't--I'm not encouraging him to leave his family.
- I'm just saying, like,
you know, as another Black man, you know,
we supposed to hold each other accountable
and not just, like, oh, yeah, he's out here.
Like, out here for what?
- You know, I apologize if you take it like that.
I didn't mean it like that.
So I allowed Bambi to release all her pain
and all her stress on me because I know that she's hurt,
and I know that she needs to let it out.
I know that Scrappy is hurting.
I know that this is a very, very, very extreme situation
for the both of them.
- Bambi, are you OK?
- I need to tell y'all something for real.
Scrap--there's never been, like,
a moment in our relationship
where I haven't been receptive to his feelings,
you know what I'm saying?
Like, I always receive everything
that he's going through.
But this man don't have to do nothing but live.
This man don't know nothing about the gas bill, light bill.
- Right. - Nothing.
I handle--I manage-- - Everything.
- Our household, and he keeps not paying his rent.
So because he's been behind on his half of the rent,
I got to find somewhere else to live.
- I'm sorry, boo.
- Scrap has been on his own time.
He does things when he wants to and when he feel like it.
And so I'll make my payment,
and I'm thinking everything is good.
And then weeks later, the landlord, they're like,
hey, like, we only got partial payment for this month.
So now here I am pulling it together for my kids,
trying to find us another space to live in.
- But that's that [bleep] that I argue with him...
- It's absolutely selfish. - About all the time, Bambi.
I'm serious.
I just don't like the fact that he doesn't understand
all the things that go along with being a mother.
Not once-- - Right.
- Not twice, [bleep] three times.
- Three times, yes.
- And you have little bitty kids running around the house.
- Right.
- And you're trying to hold everything down.
You know I know. - I knew his character.
And I accepted certain things.
But when it came to, like, him dealing with me
and just being a [bleep] and just being [bleep] arrogant,
like, that was just kind of like a deal-breaker for me.
We are officially going through a divorce.
Like, I filed for divorce.
- Do you really think y'all gon' go through with it?
- Listen, he'll say, like, he wants to fight it.
But then again, he'll go and do some weird [bleep]
on Instagram.
- I can't stand [bleep] social media.
[bleep] makes me sick. - So at this point, I am--
- It's the devil. - It is.
- It's a setup for relationships.
- I haven't seen anything change.
- I've kind of seen the movie before,
and I seen the aftermath of not realizing where you are.
- Yes.
- And you wait so long, and there is no coming back.
- Yeah.
- And that's why I'm like, yo, wake up in the moment, dog.
This is a moment.
Damn, Bam, I'm sorry.
- I'm sorry, Bambi. - Come on.
Toughen up, Bam.
- No, she don't need to be tough.
They be talking [bleep] when she tough.
- Let it out. - Shed them tears.
- You know what I mean. Let it out.
- No, it's OK. No, you're right.
But I thought they was all gone.
It's been, like, seven months.
I thought it was over.
[dramatic music]

- Where--what you do with-- what are you gonna do
with this box right here?
- What box?
- Like, would you finish packing that with, like,
them bottles in there?
So when me and Scrap first moved into this house,
we had planned on having more kids.
And we have so many beautiful memories here.
I love this house so much.
- This is our house.
- Oh, my gosh. - Oh!
- It's just for you and our little family.
You feel me?
- This is amazing.
Today, I am packing up this home with Scrap.
There's a lot of tension in this house right now.
Scrap and I have not been talking.
But I am trying my best to be cordial
with Scrap at this moment.
Just try to suck it up and get through it.
I like how your attitude has been very nonchalant.
- What you mean?
- Like, you just like no care in the world.
- What you mean, no care in the world?
- That's how it feels that you're moving.
- I mean, I'm moving like how it is.
- Well, how is it for you?
- Crazy.
I got a family or whatever, but you don't want that family,
you know what I'm saying?
As soon as one little thing happen, you ready.
- That's what you been feeling this whole time,
like one little thing happened, and I was ready?
- Yep.
I know I've done stuff, but it's like,
it take two people to get married.
It take two people to mess it up.
It take two people to do everything.
- You think it takes two people to mess up a marriage?
- Oh, yeah.
- So that's what you still going with, right?
- I mean, you're not the only one that's done been hurt.
Man, I definitely feel like Bam gave up on our marriage.
She had too many people in her corner
that was on the negative side because their [bleep]
went the wrong way.
- You walking around oblivious to everything.
- I'm not oblivious. - Like I said, you sat there--
- I just tried to--
- No, you sat there-- - I just tried to get away.
I just try to stay up out of folks' way,
- You stay up out of folk way, but you still in folk way--
- No, you-- - At the end of the day.
- No, I'm over here--
man, I'm over here with the kids.
- You're over here with the kids?
- Yeah, I'm trying to help you move.
- You're trying to help me move?
- Yeah.
- Like, you picked a fine time to help me do some [bleep]
You should have been trying to help me stay in this place.
- I feel like, you know, she don't love me.
Shorty is hell-bent on getting a divorce.
So that let me know she been wanting it.
She just needed a reason, you know what I'm saying?
Because I had plenty of reasons,
plenty of [bleep] reasons.
That's what you do. That's what you always say.
I never do nothing.
- Listen, the majority of the things
that are at the other house,
you haven't taken anything over there.
- Because I had stuff to do. I had stuff to do.
- What you have to do?
- You wake up one day, and be like, oh, let's do this.
- What you have to do? - Let's do that.
Let's do this. - Exactly.
I don't have the opportunity-- - And I'm like, cuz, I got to--
- To lay down and be soft with you, I don't.
In this relationship,
I've had to clean up all of his messes.
I'm supposed to hold him accountable.
But he doesn't like that.
He wants to do what the [bleep]
he want to do when he want to do.
- Trying to drive me crazy, like I'm doing everything and--
- I'm trying to-- - You do nothing.
- Drive you crazy? - Like you do nothing at all.
- I'm trying to drive you crazy?
- Do you hear how you talk?
You do absolutely nothing.
There's nothing to apologize.
There's nothing you never did.
You can't even--
- I own my [bleep]. That's the difference.
- No, you don't. - I own my [bleep].
- Even when something happen, I don't even say anything.
- You bring people into this marriage.
- You do too.
- You were just in a person's DM that you used to date
talking about I am a [bleep] up person and all this [bleep].
Why are you still attempting to be with me if I'm so horrible?
Why? - The same with you.
- I'm not attempting to be with you.
- Why were you trying to still be with me
if I was so horrible?
- Well, I didn't know you were that horrible.
- Oh, you didn't know I was that horrible?
- I didn't know you was telling bitches that I
was jealous and all this type of [bleep] in they DMs.
- Man, wow.
- I didn't know you were doing that.
- When I'm sitting there looking at my husband phone,
seeing him frolicking on [bleep] Millennium's horse,
then I understand why you started acting
how you was acting.
The text messages between Scrap and Diamond,
they were, you know, setting up link-ups,
like, after the shows.
They were like, "I'm in room 258.
Are you coming to my room?"
This is a different type of betrayal here.
- You trying to make me look bad.
Go ahead. That [bleep] won't work.
- This is projecting.
- That [bleep] ain't gonna work on me.
- This is you projecting. - Quit sabotaging.
You trying to sabotage me. - You sabotaged your career.
You can't even go do what you got to do and come home.
- You don't want me to do nothing.
You want me to fail in life.
- I want you to do amaz-- why would I want you to fail?
Why would I want you to fail? Why would I want you to fail?
I want my kids to have an amazing father.
