[Bambi]Previously on Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta...
My mom wants me to go get tested to see if my brother
and I match to donate a kidney.
I didn't go get tested.
That's my little brother, but at the same time,
I got a family to think about too, bro.
Everybody out here is cheetahs.
I'm not a cheater. You don't know our [bleep].
I do know your [bleep].
You know our [bleep] relationship.
You know how our relationship is set up.
How is it set up?
I'm not used to nobody calling me that.
No, you're used to me defending you.
I did text Bam some inappropriate [bleep].
This is the same woman you talk hella [bleep] about.
Now you want to get your family back?
Don't ever [bleep] waste my time.
You chasedme for a [bleep] year.
Anywho, I'm finna go.
It was nice hanging with you guys.
-Bye. -[Man] God bless her.

[Judy] Relationship is not easy.
[Mendeecees] Oh my God. Okay, Ma.
This has already been a long night.
So when Judy asked to speak to me and Mendeecees in the RV,
I'm a little nervous.
But since this is her last night,
I am going to do as she asks because I respect her.
Yandy, I heard y'all saying
that he's not in the house anymore.
I mean, yeah, just recently, we keep crashing.
And it's not healthy for us
to be in the house, arguing in front of our kids.
How do you feel about this?
You said that, you know, you don't want a broken family.
I would have never left.
I would have never told him to leave.
I feel like he had to do
the best thing for his mental health.
And he's just a stronger man than me
because maybe it's something
that should have happened a while ago.
Like, we start respecting each other, right?
We started just walking out of the house,
jumping on planes and just leaving each other.
We can't be playing tit for tat, tit for tat, tit for tat.
It's going to end bad.
I understand me having any dealings
with anybody else at all hurts you.
I know that it hurts you. And I'm sorry.
[Mendeecees]She finally took accountability.
It took her two years to even say that.
Like you said, I do have a lot of anger.
I never want to argue with no woman.
But I'm disappointed you didn't defend me yesterday with Bambi.
Well, listen, you know, normally, I'll be the first one
to stand up for you.
-Can we agree with that? -Yeah, absolutely.
I've been in my feelings, and I didn't feel like it.
I felt that, too.
I don't even have the energy to even go back and forth.
Whatever it is that make y'all happy--
[Yandy] Who is the "y'all"?
-You're not devoted to me. -[Mendeecees] And you.
But why are you including your mother in this conversation?
[Mendeecees] Because I want you happy.
I'm not your wife.
I want you happy. White flag.
I'm not going to believe it till I see your eyes.
I can't talk to you through glasses.
I don't know what's real.
There you go.
[country music]

How y'all doing this morning?
-[Joc] We're good, cuz. -[Kendra] Chipper!
-[Joc] Yeah, what up? -[Kendra] What's going on?
-Boy in it. I love it. -Ssh, man.
[Kendra] What's up?
[Scrappy] Everybody was here last night.
Britney had to leave.
She had a little boat trip to do today with all her family.
And Bam left last night to go get the kids.
-Bam was up here? -Yeah.
Damn. Damn!
[Scrappy] You got Buddy right here.
[laughter]
Welcome to the [bleep] show.
I don't know if you talked to him,
but he tried to pull a Joc last night
and get all his family under one roof.
Why you looking like that? What happened?
Oh, because it was bad.
[Scrappy]I'm kind of relieved that Britney left.
You know, she was talking way crazy.
I ain't never heard her talk like that.
She got deep on me like,
[deep voice] "Yo, you came for me."
I was like, "Whoa."
At the age I am, man,
like, I ain't even really with, like, settling.
I ain't with that.
[Yandy] Hey, hey, hey.
Yandy!
-Hi! Ooh! -[indistinct chatter]
I missed you.
I missed you too, boo.
I wished we could have came last night.
She talks to me today.
Hi, Yandy. Hey, Yandy.
Hi, bro. How you feeling?
Everybody get a hug or something?
-Hm-hmm. -Wow.
What happened last night?
Because he's talking about it, it was a showdown.
-Hello. Hi, y'all. -[Kendra] You look beautiful.
Good morning. How are you?
One thing I have no time for is fake friends.
I have not seen Ashley and Zane
since I saw the episodes in Puerto Rico
where they had my name in their mouth every five seconds.
Don't even give a [bleep] if you don't mind your business.
Don't bring it to me.
Mendeecees, I feel like you're being just very defensive
because all the stuff that's going on
with you and Yandy right now, everybody's seen it.
It's not. It's not.
We see her out in Greece or whatever,
whatever dudes, whatever, posting pictures.
We can all sit here and act like we don't see it.
Let everybody cheat in peace.
When I saw Ashley talk all that crap,
I couldn't believe her little ass
had so much to say about me,
the one that has defended her time and time again.
How dare you?
Tell him, Yandy. Tell him.
Bye, babe. Damn.
Are you feeling what happened?
And why you wasn't even concerned?
I was concerned.
[Scrappy] You weren't concerned.
I just only speak when I have something to say.
-I ain't had nothing to say. -[Scrappy] [laughing]
I'm out of here.
Peace, A Town out.
You feel me? Like I'm gone.
Yeah. So, last night, you missed a lot.
-Kind of crazy. -It was crazy.
I haven't been speaking to Yandy.
Like, you know, obviously there's some kind
of tension here.
But you know why I have an issue, right?
No, actually I don't. You were upset with me,
but I really don't know the full reason why.
[Yandy] All right, so let me tell you why.
I speak very highly of you.
I felt like I was like when I wasn't in Puerto Rico,
you guys took that opportunity
to play with my husband about me.
It was an outright trying to play me in a group of people.
"Where's Yandy? What is she doing in Greece?"
When I said, "Is Yandy cheating on you?"
It was because Mendeecees was jumping in my business
and jumping in women's business. So I called him out on it.
And I was like, "Oh, now you want to be in people's business?
Yo, is Yandy cheating or not?"
When you see me, you smile in my face.
-You give me a hug. -Yeah, absolutely.
You have nothing but nice things to say.
But then don't play with my name.
I'm not playing with you.
Everything that was in the blogs about you,
cheating or whatever it is or him cheating,
I had told you straight to your face.
You never told me nothing to my face.
First of all, I did.
Right now, I feel like Yandy is totally deflecting.
We watched you in clear 4K.
It was said that Mendeecees
hooked up with some girls, unprotected.
You're talking about the blogs, though.
-So that stuff's not true? -Hell, no.
You and Mendeecees don't have an open relationship.
Hell [bleep] no.
I'm not about to let Yandy gaslight me
like I'm the problem
because she's out in the streets moving recklessly
and she got caught. I'm not the one to blame.
To make it seem like I'm just like coming down on you like,
"Oh, Yandy's cheating on you, blah, blah, blah."
That's not what it was. Yeah, I said it wrong.
Why are you screaming?
Because I'm passionate about it because you have been going
around saying [bleep] about me,
making it seem like me and my husband against you
and Mendeecees when we're not.
This is a key example
of like how when it comes to married people,
we just don't need to be discussing other married people.
I'm not getting ready to go be like talking crazy
to another woman's husband.
-Yeah, that's the thing. -[Kendra] I'm not doing that.
It's out-of-pocket.
-Even if I'm checking her-- -No, no, no.
If you got a problem with something
that Mendeecees is saying,
don't ever [bleep] bring my name up.
And that's why I left it alone in Puerto Rico.
But I wasn't in Puerto Rico.
This is my first time seeing you since...
And you could have called me too.
-No, no, no, no, no. -I don't mean it maliciously.
-That's malicious. -But I'm telling you.
[Yandy] It's malicious.
It don't matter what your intent was.
It's malicious. And if you don't know.
And that's why I'm apologizing.
[Yandy] But the apology is--
-[Ashley] Listen, listen. -Ashley, no, you listen to me.
No, you listen to what I'm saying!
-I'm telling you-- -[Yandy] No, no, no, no.
-I'm apologizing. -You gotta calm down
because you can't apologize to me and scream.
From the outside in, I mean,
it's obvious that Ashley was being shady in Puerto Rico.
I mean, any jury can see that.
Okay.
Yandy, I apologize if I hurt your feelings.
Not if. Not if.
I apologize.
But I'm not going to apologize for me being who I am.
Make me look crazy when I'm like defending Yandy.
Yandy ain't doing nothing in Greece.
Yandy ain't cheating.
My husband looking at me sideways.
But y'all both dumb.
He shouldn't be looking at you sideways.
I ain't dumb. I ain't dumb. You calling me dumb
and your husband going out in these streets?
All right, but I'm looking dumb. Okay.
I didn't say you looking dumb, I said you are dumb.
-[Ashley] You calling me dumb? -Yes.
-[Ashley] The [bleep]? -[Yandy] Yes.
[Kendra] Y'all.
[Ashley] I can't sit there with someone calling me dumb.
But they're crying about fixing their family
and they're not being honest and telling everyone
to stay out their business when it's every-[bleep]-where.
And we're all sitting here acting like it's not happening.
-But you're calling me dumb. -Yes, I did.
-[Ashley] Okay. -I'ma stand on that.
-Stand on it. -Yes.
[Yandy] Dumb and loud.
You being petty. You being nosy. You being petty.
And you just want to have something to say.
Like a chipmunk. Nya, nya, nya, nya, nya. Shut up.
[Zane]Coming up on Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta...
Stop talking.
No, no, no. Don't tell me to stop talking.
I've been listening to you disrespect my mom.
I've been listening to her disrespect you.
Oh, my God.
People think if someone held you down,
-you owe them your life. -Yeah.
They can beat you up, smack you up, but she held you down.

-Bye. -This is awesome. Bye-bye.
This, I like nature, though.
Like growing up in the country, I miss stuff like this.
Do you? [laughing]
Can we go get something to eat, bro?
-Why we talking-- -I'm hungry as hell.
[overlapping voices]
Now let's see when we get back,
whose girl has a plate waiting for him?
Well, I ain't got no girl.
That's why you're going to be hungry.
-Remember, we shared. -You had two girls.
Nah, we ain't sharing no things. When your girl was here
yesterday, you didn't want to share.
Now your girl's gone, you want to share.
[Scrappy] Well, your mama, my mama's here. We can't go.
Y'all might switch mamas with you right now.
[bombastic hip-hop music]
-Hey there. Yes. -[Linette] Here you go.
How you doing?
Come on, have a seat.
I haven't really spent a lot of time with Miss Linette,
but I'm just happy that we got away from all the chaos.
You know, I feel good about these mother moments.
You know, these grandmama and mother moments.
After last night, all that drama,
Scrappy on toe, Bam, and he want his family back.
And that's just too much.
And I know you said you didn't want them back together,
-it's not gonna work. -So he ain't change.
What Scrappy needs to understand,
when you go and lay with this woman,
lay with this woman, have a baby,
lay with that woman, have a baby,
those are broken homes.
You can't, and then you can't, you can't just do that.
You can't do that to these women. You know what I'm saying?
And in the Black community, that don't look good.
How he's doing stuff sometimes, it don't make no sense.
I'm like you.
My kids mean a hell of a lot to me.
-You know, my grandkids. -With the holidays, you know,
I always would love a gift from my kids.
But the only gift that means a lot to me...
Is your family together.
...is that my kids come together, my grandkids.
And they know they mother love them.
That's right.
And my grandkids know that they grandmama got they back.
Hey, baby.
And so the issues that you and Ashley have,
and the mess that even that torn,
and I see how it tears you up because...
It does.
...you don't want to make your son choose.
He shouldn't have to choose.
I can really relate to Miss Linette
because I been down this road
with Scrappy and the Bam.
Already conceived by her and Ashley's movements,
this probably is not gonna end very well.
And I want Miss Linette to hear it before it's too late.
If I can offer any advice to you,
I would just say maybe y'all can go out to eat.
I don't know what can mend these broken fences.
[Linette] Again, I can say, I appreciate that. I really do.
But me trying to put this back together,
I'm to the point right now, I have other issues.
-I have my son. -[Momma Dee] Mm-hmm.
The kidney that I gave my son 15 years ago,
-It failed. -Oh, wow.
We need another one. It needs to happen right now.
And Zane, he didn't go get tested for whatever reason.
-And he pissed me off, you know? -[Momma Dee] Mm-hmm.
He gonna tell me he was scared. He didn't go get tested yet.
You know, he had to talk to his wife.
I was done with that.
That conversation ended quick.
My thing is, right now, I am trying to raise money.
I'm trying to do a fundraising.
-I was actually gonna ask you... -Mm-hmm.
-I would love to help. -...for your advice.
-I would really love to help. -I would love to help.
But you think, you know what?
Maybe if you allowed her, maybe Ashley can help you.
Maybe if you put it on the table...
And I get what you're saying. I really do.
But I don't want to involve and tell me what to do,
how to do it, and I don't even need a help.
I'm done. I mean, that is definitely not gonna happen.
Yeah.
I see myself now trying
to convince Ms. Linette to open her heart,
but she's giving me a hard pushback.
Well, I'm flattered that you even asked me.
I'm right there. I'm telling you, I'm right there.
I told Zane, I said, "You know what?
I need to talk to Momma Dee" because I know you're a nurse.
You know, I know that you can help me.
Yeah. I'm gonna get back.
This is getting breezy out here.
-I'll help you up. -For real.
Okay, come on, come on, come on.
-Put your arm on me. Come on. -I can't.
There you go. Come on.
Girl, I'm gonna bring you back down.
No, you ain't. Give me a hug.
Okay. You rock, girl. You rock.
[Ashley]Coming up on Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta...
If somebody say, "Oh, Mendeecees always got your back,"
I'd be like, "Hmm, that's what you think.
"You don't know my life. You don't know the truth.
You don't know what that [bleep] do outside of this show."
[Zane] [crying] My [bleep] brother, though, dog!
[Scrappy] Yeah, come on.
[Zane] I feel like a [bleep] coward, bro.
I couldn't even go get tested.

Hey, hey.
-What's up, baby? -How are you?
Your beautiful self. Mmm.
I'm honestly feeling recharged after riding ATVs with my guys.
You still got a little dust in your glasses.
[Zane]Now that I got that out of my system,
I'm ready to deal with some of the things that I've been
kind of avoiding on this trip.
Had a good time. Chopped it up with the fellas.
And then I also talked to Mendeecees
and I'm like, "Why is Yandy acting like that towards me?"
Oh, my God!
What happened with you and Yandy?
Like, because she's been treating me crazy since--
When y'all left, it just went so bad.
I'm just like, "You know, I heard
that you had an issue with me,"
and she was like, "Ah, because you was talking about me
in Puerto Rico" or whatever, and I'm just kind of like...
Yeah, he said something about that.
I did, but she was just being very defensive.
The way it ended, I think I snapped.
She called me dumb.
And I'm like, "You're the one that's dumb."
I don't know where to go from here.
-[Zane] She called you dumb? -Oh, yeah.
-She said we were both dumb. -Oh, wow.
I have a lot of mixed emotions right now with Yandy,
but I'm gonna have my girl's back,
because I know she's mad and upset,
but I know it's not really me.
I think it's Mendeecees
continuing to hurt her over and over again.
I hope she realizes, like,
"Damn, you know, Ashley was right."
I also feel a certain way.
I feel like my mom is under a lot of pressure right now.
With this transplant, this kidney transplant,
and on top of that, we on her back, too.
And I just ask you to just kind of,
like, bury the hatchet.
For you, and only for you, will I, you know,
even consider just moving forward and just squashing this
with me and your mom.
If something happened to me today,
I feel like I don't want you and my mom to be cool
and everything kumbaya after something happens to me.
-It's just not what happened. -I need to see that now.
-This is not what-- -I need to see that right now.
-Look at me. Look at me. -I'm looking right at you.
Stop talking.
No, no, no. Don't tell me to stop talking.
-You've been talking a lot. -Listen, listen, listen.
-No, 'cause I-- -You've been talking a lot.
-And I've been listening. -No, you haven't.
Yes, I have.
And I've been listening to you disrespect my mom.
I've been listening to her disrespect you.
Oh, my gosh.
I'm telling both of y'all.
That [bleep] got to be over with.
[upbeat music]
My hair is not giving wilderness.
-It's giving... -Content Queen.
You should be glad that's
the only thing I'm the queen of right about now.
Why? Why you say that?
-I'm aggravated. -Why you aggravated?
Because I had a conversation with Ashley.
Don't tell me it was about when we was in Puerto Rico.
Of course it was about Puerto Rico.
See, you live and let live.
I got to have a conversation before I can move on.
And that's your first time seeing her?
That's my first time seeing her.
Do you feel some type of way with what you said?
First of all, she apologized,
but it was like a backhanded whack.
"I'm sorry, but I don't apologize for who I am."
Yeah, well, who you are is whack.
You said that?
Yeah, and then she said, "You sittin' here crying about
"a man that will say he happy to be single,
he happy to be awake."
I don't know where she get that from.
I don't even know all the [bleep] she was saying.
Again, she's exaggerating, right?
I guess she's trying to get underneath your skin.
From what I remember, she was like,
"You mad because Yandy got her lick back?
"You should get over it.
She held you down when you went to prison."
I'm like, "Did you see it?"
Like, why you keep telling me my life?
You left her feeling like, "Yandy didn't hold me down."
First of all, that's not true.
And second of all, she's not deserving of that conversation.
-What's not true? -I never did nothing for you.
-I never said that. -That is the way you keep--
I'm going to keep that private, right?
-That's between me and you. -It's not.
[Yandy]I'm very annoyed that I even have to
have this conversation with Mendeecees.
What you do not get to do
is take away from the journey I took with you,
'cause everything you left prison with, you came back to.
No.
She no different from Bambi.
You can have your opinion.
Don't bring it to me, because I don't give a [bleep] about it.
But then that's what you say. If somebody say,
"Oh, Mendeecees always taking up for you,
Mendeecees always got your back."
I be like, "That's what you think.
"You don't know my life, the truth.
You don't know what that [bleep] do outside of this show."
Yeah, it would sound like that.
Yeah, so what the [bleep] are you saying?
-I ain't saying nothing. -Everywhere I go, people say
a whole lot of things about how amazing you are.
I'm going to start saying, "Y'all don't know my life.
-Y'all think he's amazing." -But they say that--
But is that cool for me to do that to you?
'Cause we could both do that.
You got to control your emotions.
Let's end this conversation.
You know, the constant arguing with Yandy
is becoming so stressful.
Come on, let's go. We're leaving.
Go ahead. You can leave.
I'm going to just chill and look off.
This is why I moved out. I need peace. I chose peace.
[Woman]Coming up on Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta...
[Kendra] I want you to come out there and talk with us.
Ashley. Me and Ashley.

[Scrappy] I pray. I pray.
Keep praying.
I'm going to pray when I get ready to go to sleep.
[laughing]
I really don't understand where I'm at in life right now.
Because I thought Britney was gonna be
one of them long-term things
and she effed up or I effed up.
The way I look at it is two played the game.
My situation be long as [bleep].
Every last situation I done had except this one.
I was...
Well, this one or the one before it?
With the one before it.
The threesome was over so damn quick.
I'm actually surprised he remember it happened.
It wasn't even fast. It was... [imitates flutter]
Man, I'm saying like, "Hey, what's up?
Y'all great, girl. What you doing?"
[flutters] Damn, that was... [flutters]
[Zane] So I had a conversation with Ashley.
I guess it's a me and Mendeecees situation.
What do we do about our wives, bro?
Because me and you have such a great relationship.
We be vibing.
But I feel like they are on a whole 'nother level.
You know, that's the same thing
what happened with me and Kirk, right?
When our wives was going at it.
And me and him was cool.
We used to try to come together to get them on the same page.
When she said she held you down,
it's like everybody could see
like you was gone for four years.
You came back. She was still there.
To a woman, they call that holding you down.
I'm not here to say,
"Yo, it didn't happen" or what didn't happen.
I'm just saying you don't know my life from the Gram.
-I mean, did she hold you down? -She held me down.
She could have got married and moved on with her life.
So why did you get so offended when you said,
"Well, you don't know how she held me down"?
Because the reason why I said that, right?
People think if someone held you down, you owe them your life.
-Yeah. -Right? Right?
They can beat you up, smack you up, and do everything else.
But she held you down.
Yeah, I went through the same.
You know what I'm saying? So it's like, how long
you gonna keep me to the fire?
And what abuse you think I'mma take?
I don't know, do I supposed to be the slave
for the rest of my life to someone
that picked up the phone call when I called?
I don't know.
[Scrappy] Let me ask you something, Mendeecees.
While you were gone, you think she got pounced on?
Only her and God know that. I don't know anything.
What kind of question is that, bro?
[Zane]Let's keep it real, Mendeecees.
I mean, if Yandy was this wild
while Mendeecees was out of prison,
what the hell you think she was doing while he was in prison?
[Mendeecees] Listen, that's a valid question.
Before I went in, I gave her the liberty of being by herself.
I don't want to take a woman into prison with me
because that's the most hardest [bleep] to do.
-Yeah. -[Mendeecees] Right?
So let me go in there, do my time, you live your life.
She said no.
When I came home, I focused on what's in front of me.
What I don't know, what I don't see,
-I ain't gonna look for it. -Yeah.
♪ All right, I got your money all in my pocket ♪
♪ Hanging with stars Yeah, I'm too fly ♪
♪ Call me a rocket ♪

[Kendra] Hey, boo.
What you up in here doing?
I want you to come out there and talk with us.
Like, we've been talking, you know.
Ashley. Me and Ashley. Yeah.
[Ashley]After talking to Zane,
I realized that this trip
is supposed to be in a place of coming together.
So I feel like, you know, us having this conversation
is definitely an opportunity for growth.
Ah. Girl. Oh, Ashley.
-They all burned up, girl. -Yeah.
Hi, Yandy.
Hi, Ashley.
I'm glad y'all, we all around the fire.
Fire pit, fire pit. You feel me?
The fire that Ashley built.
[Ashley] I did not build this.
-I built this, girl. -Oh, that Kendra built.
I built this, girl.
I added a stick to the fire that was already started.
Like, I'm always adding fuel to the fire.
That's what I was saying, like, you know,
sometimes we got to just take accountability
for when it's time to take accountability.
And you know it is what it is. We have our opinions.
She wear her heart on her sleeve.
Sometimes that causes us to act out and go overboard
and over excessive and all that stuff.
And that's where I do want to take my accountability.
I know I was being very defensive earlier.
I just was taken aback 'cause I really do...
I [bleep] with you.
I just, I think in that situation in Puerto Rico,
you weren't there.
And I definitely approached your husband wrong.
So I do apologize for that.
But, you know, he's making it seem like, "Yeah, I moved out.
"I'm doing this on my own.
I got these houses I'm working on."
And I'm like, "Yandy has been a part of this process."
Yes.
Before I met you in person, I always looked at y'all like,
"Damn, like she's stuck by him. She's ride or die."
And I understand not everything you see is what it is.
-But still-- -Oh, but I did stick by him.
I was ride or die, for truth.
And that's why when I be seeing you go hard for him
and you will defend him with everything--
With everything.
And then he just be so like, "Ain't talking about it."
And I be like, "Wait--"
Let me tell you why. Because men are big babies.
-[Kendra] Yeah. -Yeah.
-They can dish a lot of [bleep]. -Yeah.
But they can't take it.
It's so interesting to me how Mendeedees is trying
to control this narrative, saying,
"Oh, I just want to be friends."
And the week before writing me long letters
about how he wants his family back, then going to everyone.
"Don't call me a cheater. You got to defend me."
It's just like, make up your mind.
When men get in their feelings,
they say all kind of dumb [bleep],
then they come back and want to apologize.
They act like little boys.
[Yandy] His favorite line is, "I didn't mean it like that."
After four weeks, I'm trying
to be the friend that don't say nothing.
But sometimes I'm like, I'm like, "What the heck?
Like, why are you doing this?"
First of all, I accept your apology.
This, without you screaming at me and yelling.
I apologize for screaming. I'm sorry.
It's much better. Much more acceptable.
You know, I appreciate Ashley taking accountability.
So I'm going to leave this right here.
But I will always keep my eye on you
because I know what you can do.
-I'm going to give you a hug. -[Ashley] Please.
You're back to being my little sister.
Because I wanted to hug you yesterday.
Because, baby. I don't ever, I don't want to see it.
-I love this. -Thank you.
I'm so happy for y'all.
Can I borrow this jacket? It's really nice.
Well, where's my little skinny--
You gonna give me some hips and ass?
[Joc]Coming up on Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta...
My [bleep] brother, though, dog!
Yeah, come on, bro. I feel you, bro.
He's my [bleep] brother, bro.
You got to let that [bleep] out, bro.
♪ Made my way to the top And it ain't no stopping ♪
♪ Shake it up ♪
Man, this is beautiful.
-Are you okay, man? -Huh?
-You okay? -I'm going through it.
I'm not even talking about that.
I'm talking about you flipped off the catty
on the four-wheeler earlier.
Oh, yeah, I'm good, bro. That [bleep] was fun, bro.
That [bleep] took everything
I was going through off my mind, man.
Hello, we walked into the perfect conversation.
-Whoa, whoa. -[Yandy] Hi.
The young ladies are here.
What's up? You in a better mood now?
-Yes, I am. -You are?
When you ask a woman, "Do you have a better attitude?"
Or "Have you changed your tone?"
Anything of the sort is going to give us a worse attitude
and you're going to get an even worse tone.
Hi, Mendeecees. How are you?
Wait, I don't know if I hug you or slug you.
[indistinct]
-[indistinct] -[laughs]
So, Zane, I will say this.
I forgive you in advance of a discussion.
Yes.
Because your wife has had the conversation with me and...
And you forgave me.
Scrappy, I always forgive you and I'll cuss you out later.
We gotta be hugging.
Where this kumbaya [bleep] come from?
We had a talk.
Kumbaya, everybody hugging.
Well, hello. Hi, Momma.
I don't really care to understand
what these women kumbaya to each other.
As long as they ain't making up
because Ashley gave some dirt on me,
I'm okay with it.
What are we doing today?
We good right now or we back fighting?
I'm quiet.
I'm going to take that as we good
'cause I ain't got time tonight.
I'm trying to be at peace.
Hey, baby. Hey, baby. Hey, baby.
-[Zane] Hey. -Hi. How you doing, love?
Sit right here.
Hi. Thank you, baby.
Hey, Ashley. Can I talk to you for a minute?
Yeah, absolutely.
[Momma Dee]So, after talking to Miss Linette,
I just want her and Ashley to get on the same page.
As a mother and a grandmother, It's hard for me to stand
on the sideline and see all this [bleep].
These two, it's like, [chuckles] you know, pulling teeth.
So, talk to your mother-in-law and your brother-in-law.
-Got something wrong? -[Ashley] Yeah.
He needs a kidney transplant.
She wants a fundraiser. I want to help her.
And I said to her, "Why don't you
let Ashley help you with that also?"
[Linette] And she was like, "No."
And so, like, as a mom, I was like,
"Oh, my God. You know?"
Yeah. No, I understand what you're saying.
And so, it [bleep] with me 'cause she a mom.
And you know how we feel about our [bleep] kids.
Y'all, I don't get it between y'all.
When she said that--
I understand why she's feeling that way
because a lot has happened in 13 years.
But when it comes
to helping fundraise and being a part of that,
I would love to be a part of that.
-Yeah. -[Ashley] You know what?
I'm actually gonna go clear this up right now.
Zane, can you come here real quick?
And can you bring your mom, too?
So, honestly, this is not a conversation
that I should be having with Momma Dee.
Mama, can I please borrow you real quick?
Yeah. Come on.
I really feel like, low key,
she's gonna have Linette's back no matter what
because it's a mom thing.
Listen, I know... First, I'm gonna say this.
Listen, I know a lot has happened between us.
I would like for us to start over.
You know, Momma Dee told us a couple different things
that you guys had talked about.
She mentioned the fundraiser
and that you didn't want me a part of it.
Right, I did. I did say that.
[Ashley] And I can understand that.
My apology-- I know it seems kind of crazy,
especially in this situation. But, listen, I--
-I know you do. I know, I know. -I love you.
I love your family.
I love what you've done for them.
So, I would love to be a part of that.
My brother sitting here could be dying.
And these two are arguing over, like,
who's going to help with the fundraiser and who did this.
And none of this makes sense.
My brother's damn near at his death right now.
Like, if he don't get this kidney
and we don't get his mind right,
[bleep] gonna go bad.
I'm not saying I got to be all, you know, whatever.
But whatever I can do--
I mean, I didn't even want to ask you
because I didn't want you to feel like,
you know, I need you to do that.
Because we were not in that good space.
-Yeah. -But we're family.
And there's not too many people out here right now, Zane.
Right now that have this.
-We are blessed. -I'm thankful.
We are blessed. You know, I have nobody.
I am the only one left.
You know, my mother is gone.
She was the one that kept us together.
Right.
You know, and I felt like, you know, now it's on me.
And it's weighing me down.
But to see all this going on, it's like--
Well, I don't want to be any more stress to your life.
I'm trying to break.
I'm sorry. Come here, I'm sorry.
I'm trying to be as strong as my mother.
-You know? -[Zane] I'm sorry, Momma.
[Ashley] It's okay.
[Linette] [indistinct] my mother and miss her.
I know you do. I'm sorry. I miss Grammy, too.
[Ashley]I'm not gonna kick someone
while they're down.
But the petty in me is like,
"Okay, she's just doing this
right now because she wants attention."
But I have to be supportive to my husband.
So everything that me and Linette have going on,
like, I really just want to push it to the side
because there's a bigger issue at hand.
I love you. I just want to say I'm sorry.
I know you do. And like I said, right now,
our focus is getting this
fundraiser off the ground to help Michael and them.
They need to know that they're okay.
I'm sorry for everything that we put you through.
I'm sorry for just not understanding
and seeing it from your point of view.
I know you're dealing with a lot, Ma.
I know you're dealing with a lot.
You too, Ashley. I'm sorry.
Seeing my mom cry, it got me emotional.
I'm feeling hopeless at times
because I know I let my mom down.
But at the same time, I just, you know,
I'm trying to find that strength
to be strong enough for my family.
What's up, buddy? You all right?
Yeah.
You look like you've been tearing up, dog.
Yeah, man. It's just seeing Moms cry, dog.
-I don't like seeing-- -Your momma crying?
My [bleep] brother, though, dog.
Yeah, come on. All right.
I feel you, bro.
Like, you got it, you got it.
[Zane] That's my [bleep] brother, bro.
[Scrappy] I know, I know. You got it, you got it.
You got to let it out, bro. You got to let it out, bro.
-I understand that, bro. -[Zane] [crying]
You know, watching Zane break down like that,
it just brings me back to when my mom
was in the hospital all the time she was.
I admire Zane even being like that
because he's crying because he just want
to be there so bad for his family, his brother.
At some point, we have to give ourself grace.
And that's what I'm trying to tell Zane.
You can't do everything. Like, it's not gonna happen.
No way in the world it can happen.
I feel like a [bleep] coward, bro. I was [bleep],
I'm so [bleep] scared of doctors and [bleep], bro.
I couldn't even go get tested to give him my kidney.
You helping in a whole 'nother way, bro.
They can't do what you do. And you can't do what they do.
He might be looking at it like,
"My big brother just bitched up on me."
You got to go and talk to your brother
and explain to him that, "Bro, I got you.
I just got you in a different way."
And I'm going to be there for him.
-[Scrappy] Okay, man. -I'm going to be there for him.
[Scrappy] That's right.
Coming up on Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta...
I can't argue with you.
Have you noticed that I haven't been the one arguing?
You're going to make me drive my car off the cliff.
-I've been quiet. -Leave me alone.
Stop arguing with me.
♪ Made my way to the top And it ain't no stopping ♪
♪ It's not a lot that I can do about a lot of me and you ♪
♪ So I'ma let it do what it do ♪
♪ And just focus on the good, good vibes ♪
Ain't no time to sit around and be emotional.
I really got to step my game up and make sure
that I'm doing the things I need to do.
After all you put me through this weekend,
I deserve this.
Hey, I really feel like
you and Mendeecees put me through something.
Wow.
Not because you brought the ex-wife and the girlfriend
-here the same trip? -[laughing]
Listen, can we talk in private?
Oh, Lord. Here we go to talk in private.
[Mendeecees]I just want to stop fighting with Yandy.
I want to get to a place where we can talk peacefully
with each other without animosity or pointing
the fingers and just talk to each other out of love.
You hear a scream, right?
Don't come back here.
[Yandy]Why do we need to talk in private?
Mendeecees has already said what it is,
what he feels, what he thinks,
and what he wants the world to think.
I'm not into rewriting history with you.
Look, you see what that sign say?
"Friends gather here." Oh, yeah. We're friends.
What's wrong with friends?
Nothing. Excited to be your friend.
I think you don't understand the concept.
So I'm trying to lighten the mood with casual jokes
and, you know, here come Yandy, come in swinging.
It just leaves me questioning, was the good ever good enough
to outweigh the bad?
Listen, you keep choosing violence.
I'm not choosing violence.
Every, you don't see what you do.
Every time somebody say, "Oh, Mendeecees, I'm mad at you.
It was Yandy. Y'all cheaters. But it was Yandy."
It's like everything is Yandy, Yandy, Yandy.
Let me tell you something.
So if you say I got unmanifested anger,
I think you got unmanifested accountability.
I just did it the other day.
All right. So and then you can drop the anger.
I can't argue with you.
Have you noticed that I haven't been the one arguing?
You're going to make me drive my car off a cliff.
-I've been quiet. -Leave me alone.
Stop arguing with me.
You pick a fight every chance you get.
What are you talking about? I was sitting there
minding my business and Bambi said something.
And you turned around to me and said,
"You don't defend me." I was minding my business.
Last night, I said absolutely no words, and something came to me.
All right. Listen.
I already can see where this is going.
And I'm about to get up and run.
-No, I'm too tired. -Run that way.
And then you'll see a cliff with some water.
And I'mma jump right there just to not argue.
I don't know what Mendeecees wants
or what he thinks I owe him.
I'm not giving no
more accountability than I've given.
'Cause you're not even owed that, to be honest with you.
But this is it. I have nothing else to offer.
Is this conversation over?
I really don't have any major expectations
right now other than just being able
to communicate in a peaceful,
healthy situation with you.
Okay.
I think that, you know, we just have to figure out
how to navigate this single
co-parent life and navigate it well.
[Mendeecees] What?
[Yandy] Nothing.
[sighs] So you're going to New York?
Why you keep asking me that? I don't have nothing.
I finished my business in New York.
You're always in New York so I thought--
Stop asking me that.
Yeah, you know what I meant by that.
Anybody know what I meant by I said, "Have fun in New York"?
That's where the dude is at.
Yeah, she know what I meant.
That was a light jab right there.
You know what's in New York. That wee-wee.
Fight for your family.
How many [bleep] you want me to fight?
That's why she got up. Yeah, have fun in New York.
[tense music]
[Woman]Next time on the season finale
of Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta...
Ladies and gentlemen, I am the host.
-[Zane] Hello. -Hello, hello.
Y'all are [bleep] stupid.
I got invited here.
Y'all did that [bleep] on purpose.
-You're childish. -Y'all are dumb.
-Eat the green beans. -Yo, you tripping.
The bitch come down here to try to learn how to cook
and she hasn't done anything.
I've been respectful to the whole Copeland clan.
No one's been respectful to me.
One, two, three, release.
I'm an innocent woman.
I don't know what they talking about.
-Jail is not fun. -Right now you [bleep] up.
You following Dro. What the [bleep] is wrong with you?
Hold on. Stop. Stop talking.
You don't run your mouth. I'm not with it.
[Shay] You have officially been served.
[Man] [laughing]
Your divorce papers.
You wanted a divorce. Uh-uh.
You can't be kissing on me.
[indistinct]
Stop kissing me.
What's up? How are you?
It's nice to see you guys doing this.
I can say the same thing. So what's going on?
-I mean... -We just...
You know, we just... We just chilling.
-Yeah. -And, um...
No emotional connection
is like a connection that I have with you.
But I feel like you chose somebody over me.
How do two people supposed to love each other
keep hurting each other?
