I thought he confessed everything.
And since we've been back home, it's been me finding out--
- Something else? - It's just--
- Was it during y'all's hiatus?
- There is no hiatus.
I was pregnant, I filed for divorce,
you went and took it as a pass to [bleep]

- But you already know that that was what he was gonna do.
Because you-- - Well, you know what it was?
- Men don't like rejection, bitch.
- What it really is--
- You filed for divorce, so he gonna go act up.
- I totally get that. But at the same time,
I feel like, deep down inside, he's always wanted to do it.
- A real pass.
- That gave him, like, the--the real pass.
After San Diego, I kind of thought
I would come back home and things would fall in line
because of the Safaree that I got.
- Look, I don't want to lose you.
I'm still [bleep] in love with you.
- But that wasn't the case.
All I know is that I gotta just really take it a step
at a time, so that Safaree can, you know, do what he does,
and whatever he does no longer affects me.
San Diego, I had, for, like,
2.25 seconds, a little bit of hope.
- He did? - Long as it wasn't, like,
somebody else coming to his bitch.
- So, how did you not tell me that?

Our original plans was to have
a destination wedding in St. Lucia, right?
But once COVID hit and all them damn variants,
like, it's just been hard trying to reschedule.
So this is, like, the third
and now hopefully the final time, you know what I'm saying?
You know, maybe we can get it right, now,
you know what I mean?
- Here I am about to get married,
and none of my [bleep] is together.
Nothing is together.
Jasiel and the groomsmen still don't have their suits,
and I do not have my wedding dress.
- What's up? - [sighs] Nothing.
Trying to get everything together.
You can't wear the same dress in St. Lucia
that you wear Atlanta.
So now that we finally switched the venue
and got everything in order,
it is a race to the finish line.
I am so ready to get there.
I'm stressed out. It's kinda like
the venue changed a little bit. I mean--
- A little bit? A lot of bit.
- A lot of bit. - First and foremost,
I don't know [bleep] about planning no wedding, okay?
- And then, with the guest list,
we were expecting about 100 and--
- No. It was supposed to be 75 people.
And being three weeks away, everything is thrice the price.
- I want the girls to be flower girls, so I invited Sina.
Here's the thing.
I mean, I didn't have her telephone number,
so I sent her a message on Instagram,
but she's not replied back yet.
I don't even think she's read the message.
- Why did Kendra send Sina a DM?
Like I'm somebody you don't know.
Sina and I share beautiful twins girls, Eden and Allon.
She and I usually on great terms,
but lately things have been a little different.
I have definitely been stressing out.
I been doing everything I can to pay for this,
and it's caused me to spend less time with my family.
And communication has slipped a little,
and I feel terrible about that.
- And I'ma tell you something.
I didn't--I did not invite Karlie.
- Why would we invite Karlie to my wedding?
I know Kendra and Karlie
got to the point where they could stomach each other.
- [bleep].
- One time, Karlie threw her shoe at Kendra.
It used to be crazy, but they good now.
That don't mean Karlie supposed to be invited to our wedding.
This the same woman who has just made my life
a living hell at times, you know?
She's also accusing me of something.
You know how it get when she gets single.
She just-she just be trying
to figure out a little way to come back.
- I just want all this stuff together
'cause I'm--before I have a breakdown.
- What you gonna have a breakdown for?
- It's a lot. I'm stressed out.
- Who picked the day out for the wedding? You picked--
- October 24, 'cause it wasn't on no retrograde.
That's why I did that. When you get married during
retrograde, it won't last. - Kendra, if you quit---if you
keep on talking to me about retrograde--
- It won't last. Jasiel laughs about it,
but listen, if you do things during a Mercury retrograde,
it's pretty much going to fail.
- Like, she checked the horoscope,
and I've lost 100,000, for real.
Like, it's--yo.

or no other kind of ceremony [bleep], you know.

Because Joc and Kendra getting married.
- They sent me the invitation for me to RSVP.
But my friend Meda... - Mm-hmm.
- I'm not sure if you met her, right?
- No. - So, she and Joc
used to date for 13 years.
- What?
- At my video shoot yesterday, with Yemi,
Meda was acting very weird and suspicious,
like something, you know, she's not telling me.
But earlier today, at my photo shoot, mm-mm, baby,
she let me get the tea with she and Joc.
Every time we ask her, she have this damn smirk on her face.
I'm like, "What's going on with you and Joc?"
And Joc about to get married.
See? That's what I'm talking about.

- Well, I was always taught no response is a response, so--
- What's going on with you and Joc?
- I have been [bleep] with Joc for almost 14 years.

I love Joc.
And Joc will forever love me, marriage or no marriage.
- You love him? - What you mean you love him?
- I'm not--no, no. - We gonna have to have
a good conversation. - This is the difference.
I was [bleep] with Joc.
Me and Kendra, I don't know what her timeline is.
I know what my timeline is. I don't know what hers is.
- So, I asked her--I said,
"When did you stop messing with Joc?"
She was like, "Oh, maybe like two years ago."
But how long he been with Kendra?
- For about five. - Oh, see?
That's my problem.
I really do hope that Meda is getting her dates confused,
because me don't want get involved in none of this.

I had no idea that 13 years ago, before,

We have a working friendship relationship.
We don't discuss the men that Meda sleep with.
