Previously on "Belle Collective."
We just finished the condos upstairs.
So we wants to do the Airbnbs, but we're getting pushback
from the neighborhood.
They wanna paint us as a nuisance.
Yes.
What's the update on the Mobile location?
We don't have that many interested buyers.
Now is a waiting period.
We have 20 people working for us.
I don't want them to just have to lose their jobs.
With all due respect, by not making a decision,
it is starting to feel kind of selfish to me.
You have, what, fibroids, right?
They came back, so I have to get another surgery.
And I came to the conclusion that I do want to have a baby.
Yes!
Just talking about it's always people on the outside
that's bringing the rumors to us.
With Teshia's friend, I'm like, "I don't even know this girl."
- And you're bringing me-- - Shante?
You're bringing me some mess.
Something should click in your damn head.
This girl should have been to divorce me three, four,
five, six, seven, eight times.
This girl should have been left my ass.
You don't wanna have your hand in it because you wanna help me.
You wanna have your hand in it so that you can control me.

I'm seeing a financial advisor today so that I can get
my finances in order.
Glen has been the primary leader in that department
when it comes to our household.
- Hi-- hey! - Hey, beautiful!
- How are you? - How are you?
And I wanna educate myself, and not only educate myself,
but line up my finances as well.
The last time we saw each other,
I was interviewing you at the Black Women's Business Expo
a couple of months before . - Yes, yes.
Well, you look amazing, and--
Now tell me, what prompted you to say, "OK, I need to get
the appointment and I need to do it now?"
- I'm still married. I'm still married to Glen. - Yes.
- Do you remember Glen? - Yes, I remember Glen.
Yes, still married to Glen.
But where I am now,
it's about financial independency.
Like, I'm-- I am standing on my own.
- Yes. - It's time to take this to another level.
- I just got some things for you, like... - Yeah.
...a couple 1099s, my W-2s.
I have a screenshot of my bank account.
OK-- first of all, kudos to you having all your papers together.
And this meeting came at a time when you're ready to put
all these things in order. - Yeah, absolutely.
So when we talk about putting things in order,
we talk about protection first. - Mm-hmm.
What are you doing to protect your money today and tomorrow?
Do we have life insurance on ourself and everybody
in the household? - We do-- I do.
Next thing, any retirement accounts
that you have for you, not Glen.
- Not for me. - OK.
Do you have any investments currently?
- No. - OK.
With doing all that you do, what right now
is your biggest concern? - Finding my own independency.
- Yes. - And standing on my own.
We're setting these things up for you
so you can be financially stable... - Mm-hmm.
...no matter what season of life you're in,
whether that means walking alone... - Mm-hmm.
or walking with anyone, OK? - Yeah.
After this blow up at the photo shoot,
everything that I thought was impossible is now possible.
I'm just in a season of my life
for protecting everything for me.
- So for clarity... - Yes.
I know we hear all the time, "Oh, you signed a prenup,
you signed a prenup." - Yes.
- That's before you go on, you know, into the marriage. - Yes.
- Can you, like, make it clear, clarify, what is the postnup? - Yes, OK.
Like, nuptial, what does that look like?
That's a good question.
So just like a prenup was a legal agreement,
postnuptials are too. - Mm-hmm.
And you get to determine that
while the marriage is still going on.
So you get to determine, what are we going
to continue to share? - OK.
What is gonna be completely mine.
- Oh-- mm-hmm. - These assets that you have, that you've accrued
while we've been together.
Having a postnup, especially at this stage in my life,
is very important. I have worked so hard.
And right now, stuff is really taking off for me.
So I wanna make sure that my business and my assets,
that everything is protected.
- So, listen, this, off the record a little bit. - Yes-- yeah.
So my husband, he's asked to be like my manager, right?
- Yeah. - So my question for you is,
should I consider allowing him to be my manager?
So you can step out and be CEO, president of your brand,
and also hire someone to be the manager... - Mm-hmm.
...and let him be as an advisory role. - OK.
- That's the conversation I'd like to have with Glen. - Yeah.
I hope that Glen is on page
with everything that I have going on.
And this will, for one, help us move forward
and establish trust.

Yes, I'm proud.

My godson just opened up a gentleman's club,
and I thought that it would be a great idea to bring Marie.
I'm super excited to walk Marie on the wild side
and see what she really wants.
♪ I got all the boys knocking at the door ♪
♪ Lined up, waiting, wanting more ♪
♪ But it ain't easy getting to me ♪
- Hi! - Hi, Rie-rie!
How you doing?
- So this is my godson, Jonathan. - Hi, Marie.
- Hi, Jonathan. - Hey, I'm Trice's godson
This is Marie.
Yeah, let me show y'all to y'all's section-- come on.
- OK. - He like, "Girl, get out my face."
The last time I've been to a strip club,
it was a very long time ago. But I did have fun.
I am a little nervous.
But hey, you know, I can adapt to any situation.
I'm here.
Oh, not the bottle, huh?
Marie, I brought you here so you can loosen up, honey.
- We gotta-- - I'm loosening up.
Look, this caffeine gonna loosen me up.
The caffeine gonna loosen you up.
- Yeah. - Because we gotta get you a man by the end.
- Alright. - The best place to get a man.
Talk to me.
What's the best way to get a man?
See, you work so much, but when it's time to play,
it's time to play. - OK-- let me loosen up.
- Let me get out the coat. - And I don't I-- alright, body.
- Let me loosen up. - Body, come on.
- Let's get low. - Yes.
So we have to loosen up.
And you remember when we was at Tambra's event,
and you told us about your little rendezvous.
When I was 18 years old...
...I had a threesome.
Wait, that was so long ago. I was a teenager.
See, I want you to be for sure as well.
- So... - Let's play a game.
OK, since you like playing games-- true or false?
Before you got married to your husband,
you dated a woman before, right?
- No! - Trice.
- I've never. - Come on, tell us, see,
you know what? - I'm not you.
- You're not telling the truth. - I'm not you-- no!
- Ooh, Latrice - I-- I have never.
Marie is the queen of deflection.
The fact that every time I ask her, do she like women,
and she can't give me a straight answer,
but directs it back to me, tells me everything
that I need to know.
I'm glad ain't none of the other Belles here.
Wait a minute.
So, you know, speaking about the other Belles,
it's been a lot of outside noise, you know, with Shante.
But Latrice, I just wanted to have, like, a quick little
moment to see if you felt any differently
about the situation between you and Teshia.
- Oh-- - You Teshia's friend,
you ain't got nothing to say to me.
She comes around Lateshia, her events, all the time.
My thing is, how's Shante trying to check, ,
check you over her friend when she talk about her friend?
If it's an issue with Shante, why not address it
with Shante, whatever the problem is?
She's gonna come around.
I don't have to address a single thing with Shante.
I don't [bleep] with her.
Shante was at Taste, and I heard her tell
a mutual friend that Glendale tried to talk to her.
To me, that's not a friend, because why would you withhold
this information from your best friend?
I wanna host a get together
for us to get together-- Is Shante gonna be there?
All of us to get together and just have a conversation.
I'm sending out the message, and you all let Lateshia know
how y'all feel and why.
And maybe she-- she'll see y'all's perspective.
- Imma pray on it. - Pray on it.
I'm sending out this message. I said, "Hey, Belles,
"stay tuned for our latest get together
"and yes, all the ladies, and that includes you, Kerri,
with your backpedaling swimming steps." - Girl!
"Details coming soon." That's what I said.
- Why did you do Kerri like that. - Let me-- 'cause I don't even wanna-- Kerri
- I don't really trust Kerri. - Why?
You know, I just don't. Like, if you say something,
just stand in it.
Kerri pinning this-- this baby rumor on me,
it don't sit well with me.
I was not trying to throw your husband
under the bus at all, or mine. I just was like,
that's kind of where I'd heard it.
But somebody else mentioned it because they said that you
had said it at the party.
Kerri denied it.
Well, you said-- now, don't backpedal.
You stated it. - No, no, no.
I'm not backpedaling. I'm front pedaling.
She is showing me her true colors
and what she's capable of, lying.
- Hello. - We get it.
- OK, - I see you over there looking.
- OK. - But I do have something for you.
- Mm-hmm. - Alright.
- This for you, boo. - OK-- this for me?
- Yes. - OK.
- You ready, for real? - Yeah.
- Let's go. - Let's go.
Now, this is what you really like, right?
No, we know this is what you really like.
Uh, Ma'am.
I need you to give her what she likes, OK?
Give her what she likes.

Coming up on "Belle Collective."
What does that look like with the stuff that you have?
- I have none of that. - What do a post-nuptial look like?
A divorce.
So, Matt, what we gonna do about this entire situation?
- That's called insanity. - You gonna have to get tough.
Somebody does have to stand up for her and be like,
"We are a Collective."

Today, I am meeting with Glen at Pig & Pint
to let him know that I did meet with a financial advisor.
And I am hoping and praying
that he'll take this information well.
But before Glen arrives, I am going to FaceTime my homegirl,
Shante, to see if she's gonna attend this meeting that
Marie invited her to.
Girl, what's up? Where you?
I'm sitting out here, girl. That's what we're about to do.
So Marie told me she invited you to the luncheon.
Don't roll your eyes.
Well...
The terrible T's?
So, OK, well, honey, I'll see you at the luncheon.
Girl, no, we're gonn get rid of that word.
♪ Please don't come and kill my vibe right now ♪
- Oh, hello. - What's good, babe?
I got a little blanket. So maybe, you know,
if you get a little cold, we can cuddle.
I mean, I'm cold, I'm freezing.
I love me some ribs.
So I'm excited about, you know, meeting Teshia
for some barbecue today. - Thank you.
- You're very welcome, guys. - Alright, thank you.
Us meeting for dinner and barbecue at the same time,
like, it's showing me that she's trying.
- So what's going on with you? - Mm, where to start?
Um, Marie invited me to a luncheon.
She's inviting everybody. All the Belles plus Shante.
- Plus Shante? - Yeah, I asked Shante--
- OK. - So basically, the Belles just,
they got an issue with Shante. - Shante or Shante?
Y'all have had y'all issues
where she didn't like, you know.
She didn't like me being with you.
She didn't like you being with me.
You think that?
I feel like Shante don't feel like Glen is the person
that I need to be with.
Hold on.
No.
I have no [bleep] to give about what Shante thinks
about my relationship with Teshia.
I went to have a conversation with a financial advisor,
and it comes with growth. - You did what?
You have, like, investments. You have 401K.
- You have retirement. - Right.
I don't even know if I'm on the things.
Like, I know I'm on your 401K, but am I the beneficiary?
Like, I wanna know what's going on.
My son is on there.
- Yeah. - But me?
Yes, you're-- you're-- you're on there.
My mom is on there.
On what? What's your mama on?
Everything.
- I have it split three ways. - You have-- it split three ways?
- Yeah. - Wow.
I made my mother a beneficiary on my assets,
because that's what a son's supposed to do.
You know, this is a lady that took care of me
and four other siblings by herself.
I owe my mama the world.
Is that a problem?
Uh, yeah.
Like, what else are you not telling me?
What else? Because this is news to me.
Now, I love your mama, but what we doing here?
Um, we talked about, what else?
- Um... post-nuptial agreement. - A post what?
Nuptial-- I wanted to get educated on that,
because we do have more, clearly, thank God,
than we had when we first started out.
And I just wanted for us to decide what's what.
What does that look like with the stuff that you have?
I have none of that. - What do a post-nuptial look like?
A divorce.
- Boy, you're something else. - We have to be adults.
And I think that's something that we have lagged before.
I'm not signing no post.
Absolutely not.
Nah, so we ain't going to start these little games right now.
We ain't never starting the games.
Not be married to me.
Nah, I'll walk away from it all.
I did bring up the manager.
I shared with her, I said, "Hypothetically, should I have
my husband to be my manager?"
What would that look like?
She said that you can be my advisor.
So think about that.
No, no, no. Go here with me.
Basically, you will be like a think tank.
- We'll be a think tank. - A think tank?
Me and you. Me and you.
And I think an advisor sounds way better than a manager.
You are my advisor.
- You are my new advisor. - OK-- alright.
And, how do you feel?
- Great. - Thank you.
I suddenly lost my appetite.
- Thank you so much. - You're welcome.
I don't know this, Lateshia.
Man, I'm-- I'm struggling. I'm struggling.
I really feel like if we didn't have a kid,
that probably would have been the last straw for me.
Whatever makes you feel good.
Coming up on "Belle Collective."
You know, I try to trust
your partner to make good decisions.
She's not gonna change by you just going along
with everything and everything's OK.
That's what you've always done with Kerri.
♪ I'm just tryin' to have a little fun ♪
♪ Let it loose in the sun ♪
♪ If you're getting in the way, tell me what you doing ♪
♪ Yeah, what has you done? ♪
♪ I can't complain ♪
♪ I'm just saying ♪
I'll sit right over here.
How about that?
Good, as far away from the street as I can.
What you think gonna happen?
Anything is possible.
- Mm-hmm. - We in the country.
Kerri's been on the fence for such a long time
with the Brick & Spoon Mobile location.
And I've given so much effort trying to help.
But at some point, you know, I've got to focus on,
uh, what's important in my industry as well.
And I think sitting down with my mom
will help clear my head a little bit.
And knowing my mom,
she's definitely gonna have some opinions.
Well, I'm glad we could make some time
to mother-son lunch, get together.
Oh, you have a mama now, huh?
I ain't seen you in a minute. What's been going on?
Tired, busy.
So I think I mentioned the idea a few months ago.
I was looking into potentially making a move with my job.
I really started to think about the importance of my kids,
my legacy, building something that I can one day hopefully
kind of give back to them.
So I actually decided to go ahead and transition away
from the company I was with. - OK.
I'm moving forward in a partnership
with someone that I've known for over 20 years.
You know, and our plan is to create an agency that, for me,
is the best and most respected small boutique agency
in the game of baseball. - How do you feel about it?
I know it's gonna be kind of scary at first.
A little, you know, kind of hard, but I feel like
I'm prepared for it.
Yeah, and you enjoy what you do.
- Yes. - That's very important.
I feel like a weight's been lifted off my shoulder
when I finally...
You feel like a weight is lifted off of your shoulder?
- You riding Kerri on your back? - Oh, no, .
I ain't talking-- I'm not talking about Kerri.
There they are, the opinions I've been waiting for.
Since day one, the relationship between
my wife and my mom has been pretty stressful.
Things can get tense. My mom is very stubborn.
And my wife can be the same way.
How's everything going with the kids?
It's time, you know, you gone a lot.
- Yeah. - I've been there twice to sit with them.
You were nowhere around, so...
Yeah, well, you know, we both have a lot
on our plate, Kerri and I. - Mm-hmm.
With so much going on with both of our jobs,
we're trying to find as much balance as we can.
Like, how do we be good parents?
The interesting thing about Kerri and I,
we've been together since we were teenagers.
You know, at times, especially as Kerri and I kind
of chase success in two different lanes, it can become
tough to juggle career and home life.
And you know, with our kids getting older now,
there's a lot going on. So it can become stressful.
No, Kerri don't listen to too many people.
That's something that we working on.
She's not going to change, by you just going along
with everything, and everything's OK.
That's what you always done with Kerri.
You know, I try to trust...
...your partner to make good decisions.
But I agree, I probably gave her too much room to make
big decisions without me. - Right, you sure did.
- You're gonna have to, you know, put your foot down. - Right.
Kerri and I have been in the middle of this complicated
situation with the Mobile location for a while now.
It's beginning to become a strain financially
for both of us.
You can't be so supportive that you go broke--
I'm being too supportive.
Being supportive-- right.
So you gotta learn, too, that
the most successful people in the world, they fail.
Their businesses fail.
- But they didn't keep doing the same thing over and over. - Right.
- That's called insanity. - Yeah.
So, Matt, what we gonna do about this entire situation?
Me and her mom sat down with her.
We're trying to push her as much as we can.
You're just gonna have to cut your losses.
By not making a decision,
it is starting to feel kind of selfish to me.
I could be giving her a message,
her mom could be giving her the same message,
but she'll hear it differently from somebody else.
- Oh, she'll hear it differently from somebody else. - Yeah.
Well, maybe she need to hear it from you, too.
- I might have to be that somebody else. - Third person.
Maybe you can give some advice to Kerri.
And tell her what I've been trying to tell her.
- Tell her what her mom's been trying to tell her. - Mm-hmm.
I might do that. I might.
She might not be happy to hear everything you got to say,
but I think it'll really help. - Mm-hmm.
You got any boxing gloves around Mississippi?
In the event, I need them.

Now that First is back in place as being my manager,
I can now focus on pushing my brand forward.
My financial advisor suggested that instead of Glen being
my business manager, I should bring him on as my advisor.
And Glen actually agreed to that.
I'm OK with giving it a chance.
- Hey. - Hey, hey, hey.
- How are you? - I'm good.
I'm good. How you doing?
I'm good, just working a little bit. - As usual.
Yeah. So, I just hung up with First.
I just got an update on everything.
What did you get an update with First on?
I thought he wasn't part of the team.
I told you.
I said, "First took a leave of absence."
Quick question. Was First at your focus group?
- No. - No?
You know, I did put him on a leave of absence
because I want to...
And then he apologized.
He just said, "New him, new me."
Like, we still had loose ends
that we were working on that I told you about.
- Money over disrespect. - You being--
now, Glen, really. - Hey.
I'm hoping to accomplish an understanding
and a compromise with Glen.
If you're gonna be a part of the team,
then we have to separate business from pleasure.
That's you.
You are the business advisor, right?
- I'm the business advisor. - Right.
Where do I fall in the chain of command?
Is it you, Donald, First, Ashley,
the pet, grass, worms? - What?
Anything that's life and dangling?
- How did that look? - So basically, you have me...
Lateshia.
First of all, gotta put God up here,
all before all things, the brand.
And then, right under the brand,
we have the business advisor.
Why you can't put Glen?
See, that right there is one thing
that's not allowed in the brand.
That's selfishness.
- That's prohibited, OK? - Oh, [bleep]-- selfishness.
Selfishness. X that out.
Get it out your mind. Would you like to proceed?
- Go ahead. - So, do you want to write it?
- I mean... - Your ideas?
Yes, for sure. Brainstorm.
- OK. - Brainstorm away.
- Got it? - Thank you-- I got it.
Other than the branding and the networking,
I feel like you're gorgeous, you're beautiful.
- Aww. - Only speaking, what about, like, modeling?
- Like, plus-size modeling? - Plus-size modeling.
- I didn't wanna say plus. - I love me.
As you should.
I'm doing some enhancements, of course.
I'm gonna do chin lipo.
Then I can go and have, like, full-body surgery.
- What? - Yeah.
I just wanna do everything right now.
I'm in a season of me.
Like, if I wanna just do it, I'm just gonna do it.
- What are your thoughts? - You done lost your damn mind.
I've decided now is the time to move forward
with cosmetic surgery. I have PCOS.
My weight fluctuates so bad, and I just wanna take
another step in my health journey.
I disagree with the cosmetic surgery.
It's gonna bring unwanted attention,
and you already know who you married to.
If God can't make you happy, how can I?
Why don't you want me to have surgery?
The intimacy. You just came off the celibacy [bleep].
- Do you feel cleansed? - I feel amazing.
Well, there's no need for you to go have surgery.
- You're clean. - I feel amazing.
No. No.
That has nothing to do with anything.
Ending the celibacy was a way for me
to try to reconnect with Glen.
I regret ending the celibacy
'cause we're back at step one again with the tension.
Do you not like me working?
I don't have a problem with you working.
It's just...
you make moves I don't know anything about.
You used to call me 100 times on that boat and ask me,
"Hey, what do you think about this?
What's your thought on it? Am I lying?"
And you wanna know why? Because I trusted you then.
And right now, I don't.
I don't trust you to be my safe space.
I don't trust you to protect my heart.
I don't trust you to give me genuine advice
when it comes to my business.
I don't trust you to just be 100% loyal.
- Why the [bleep] am I here? - That's what I'm working on.
Why am I here then? Why am I here?
Did I ask "Why am I here?" when you said,
you want this structure to me to just be stay-home. - Let me-- let me-- let me--
let me-- . - You always use that as an excuse when I say,
"This is what I'm having," and I be just,
"Well, why am I here? Well, Lateshia, let's just get a divorce."
- It's like, that's it. - I don't know what else to do.
I have made the changes. What else can I do?
- And that is built-- - Sometimes it's easier to start over.
Coming up on "Belle Collective."
I don't wanna wait too long to have kids
and not be able to have kids.
So, do you truly feel like you're ready?
Could you explain to me exactly what a postnup is?
It doesn't mean that you're headed for a divorce,
unless you are. Are you thinking about?
- Hey. - Hi.

Don't drive too fast 'cause I don't need my hair

The Airbnbs are pretty much 95% complete.
The only thing that's left is just the last-minute touch up,
take the pictures, and list them on Airbnb.
This is on 300-acre property, so we got one single cabin
before you get to the gate.
Then we got the other big lot, you know, zone,
it's probably about like 500 yards from the house.
It's like five football fields.
There's a lake. It's just so much privacy.
It's so secluded.
So we're here today just checking on everything,
making sure that everything goes as planned.
And I'm anticipating my mom stopping by today.
I'm super excited.
Everything looks so good.
Got everything done.
Still have to put a few more coffee cups,
paper towel dispensers. But everything looks good.
- Whatever you want. - Latrice!
- Cliff. - It will be a...
Is that my mom?
- Where is everybody? - Hi, Mother!
- Come on, , Latrice. - Hi, girl!
Where is your clothes, girl?
Child, listen, trying to do a little workout.
- I got to show you the Airbnb. - I got to run, so y'all get--
I got other stuff I got to get done.
What you got to get done?
A lot of stuff.
OK.
Anytime there's a new venture, I always have to get
my mom's approval.
I'm super excited to show her exactly
what I've been working on.
- Oh, it is lovely. - I know.
I think we need to put like a rug or something in here.
Yes, you do. But it is beautiful.
Let me get us some blankets so we can sit outside
and catch up.
I wanna talk to my mom because the things
that my husband said on the double date
with the Pearsons really bothered me.
The fact that he now does not want a child,
I definitely feel some type of way.
My mom is the only one that I can express these feelings to.
How you is with your so-called friend Belle, women's?
Well, Tambra had an event because all the girls,
you know, they want everybody to be so transparent.
To me, they just want to be nosey
and be in everybody's business.
But they basically called Tambra out so bad,
so she, so I guess she felt like she had to do
a get-to-know-me, uh, event.
But her baby came out in the end, and it was so cute.
My biggest accomplishment!
I just wanted to take her home with me.
It makes you feel some type of way.
Yeah.
Kids have never been at my forefront,
and my husband had been asking for years to have
a baby, have a family, have kids.
He always been, like, harassing me about children.
So now that I do want a baby, he's like, "I don't wanna have kids."
He even joked about having a vasectomy.
You're not going to stop doing what you do to get the baby.
- There's things I can do. - No, you can't.
- That's right. - No.
So what makes you wanna just have a child?
You know, like with you,
you have grandkids, you have children.
We all come to your house for holidays.
I just feel like that's something that I would want,
and I don't wanna wait too long to have kids
and not be able to have kids, you know.
So do you truly feel like you're ready?
I don't truly feel like I'm ready.
We're just talking about it.
For one, I'm numb when it comes to expressing my feelings
to my husband. - Why?
You know, I think growing up, after you left Dad,
a lot happened, you know.
From-- we had to go from house to house.
Police is kicking in the door. You losing sons.
Of course, we not in the hood anymore but just growing up
in the hood, seeing so much.
You had a hard life growing up,
and I tried to do the best that I could.
Anything that y'all had to have, I had to strap to get it,
but I got it.
But one thing you told me, you said, "Mom, when I grow up,
"I'm gonna go to college,
and I'm gonna do something with my life."
Went to college, made something out of yourself,
and I'm very proud of you.
- I am very proud of you. - Thank you, Mother.
That means a lot, you saying that.
Hearing my mom say that she's proud of me has been
something that I've been wanting to hear since a little girl.
My mom is what drives me. I wanna make her proud.
And if she approves anything that I do,
that means that I did my job.
Like, I know he can be a great father.
So y'all just gonna have to sit down and talk?
Well, you have to have a conversation with him.
Well, you know, he always listen to you,
so maybe when you talk to him,
he'll have a different story, a different tune.
It's very hard for me to be vulnerable with my husband,
but I feel like my mom can reach him
in ways that I cannot.
He listens to her, he values her opinion,
and he respects her, so I think that she can get more
out of him than me.
So what you want, a boy or a girl?
I want a boy. I want a little junior.
We gonna call him CJ, Clifton Junior, girl.
- Mm-hmm, OK. - And if we have a girl, it's Cliffarella.
- I hope not. - Or Gloritha, girl, I got you.

Teshia have spoke to a financial advisor.
She's been speaking to a lot of people without my knowledge.
So today, Glendale got something up his sleeve.
So I decided to go talk to an attorney as well.
Just to get some clarity about a postnup.
- Hello, Mr. Pearson. - Yes, ma'am.
Thank you for reaching out. Good.
- Good to meet you. - Yes, ma'am.
Yes, ma'am. Same, same, same.
- What brings you by today? - A lot.
Let me just give you a rundown of everything.
I've been with my wife for going on 18 years.
Been together for 23.
I'm confused because the other day she hit me
with she wants me to sign a postnup. - OK.
Could you explain to me exactly what a postnup is?
You're just trying to define financial responsibilities
and certain things that you want to try to align
and have insight about... - OK.
...regarding your finances and your assets
as soon as possible, just in case of separation,
you know, or divorce. - Mm-hmm.
It doesn't mean that you're headed for a divorce,
unless you are. Are you thinking about?

I'm well.
How are you?
I have a large party.
Today is the day for me to get
all of the ladies together so we can address
all of the outside noise, including Shante.

Hey, baby. Good to see you.
I've been waiting .
I cannot believe that that hater, Marie,
tried to call me a flip-flopper in a group chat.
She thinks she's witty, but, baby, I rule the game
of tongues, OK?
And, yes, this Gulf Coast Belle will be showing up,
and this time in my Louboutins and not my flip-flops.
- Hey, girl. - Hey, boo.
Oh, I'm loving the new smile, baby.
Thank you. Oh, my God.
It feels so good to be supported in this moment.
Lateshia's talking about
she cannot stop looking at my smile.
She cannot stop looking at my teeth.
And I know all of these Belles was wondering how I was going
to come back. And I'm just smiling.
You see that, right? OK.
Thank y'all for coming.
And actually, you know, me and Latrice,
she took me out, took me outside. - What?
You know, I told her, you know, I wanted her here
so we can all, you know, just come together and talk.
I know we're moving forward as a Collective, and it was a big
step in Tambra letting us get to know London Simone.
That was everything.
So that kind of solidified everything and just validated
that, hey, we are moving forward as a Collective.
- I love it. - I love it.
As you all know, it has been a lot of outside noise
in the past that I want us to...
eliminate. - Why are we starting, where--
like, where's Latrice? - Latrice decided not to come.
I wish Latrice was here.
I did not tell most of the Belles
that I invited Shante. Not just yet.
- I feel like we're in a good place. - Mm-hmm.
We all have our own friends, and we do support each other.
- Mm-hmm. - So let's just say if Lateshia have an event,
of course Shante is her friend. - Mm-hmm.
She's been her friend since grade school.
- She's going to invite her friend. - Right.
So if Shante coming, OK, let's just say
Tambra may not like Shante.
Or if Latrice not feeling Shante, OK, they're not
going to come and support you because she's present.
So what do you do in a situation like that?
Do what I did. I came to the give back.
- And Amanda was there. - Yeah, she was.
And I was there to support Latrice
in what we're doing and moved on.
I know this is your friend.
I told you guys how I felt the first time that I ever
sat down with Shante.
And she brings me BS.
The information was brought to me basically saying that,
you know, her and Demond are not together.
They're basically two friends that decided
that they want to have a baby.
So I think that's being messy.
Then on top of that, we've heard
that she has talked about Lateshia.
And that to me, that's not a friend.
I have heard that y'all had broken up the friendship
and you guys got back together.
I heard that she felt like you were trying to get back
having a friendship with her because she has a new house
and you wanted to do things at her house.
- Because she said, you were broke. - What?
She said that you borrowed money for your reunion dress
from her because you did not have any money.
How are you? You look handsome as always.
You look gorgeous as always.
I'm definitely shocked.
I'm confused as to where is this information coming from
because none of this is true.
It does put us in an awkward position because you just said
you all have been friends for so many years. - Yeah.
We don't know her.
So if we're moving forward and we're resetting,
we got to keep other people out. - Exactly.
After all the Collective has gone through,
I finally feel like that we're all on the same page.
The Collective is finally going in the same direction.
It does feel like the Collective is trying to move forward.
We just need to eliminate the outside noise.
The outsiders are always the ones coming in with mess,
drama, gossip, and we just need to eliminate it all together.
- Hey. - Hi.
- What's going on? - I heard my name.
Hey, baby. I invited Shante here.
Hi, Selena.
- Hello, beautiful. - Hey, girl.
Hi, Kerri Berry.
- Hi, Tambra. - Oh you going down the whole.
Hey.
Now, listen.
We are all talking about eliminating outside noise.
And here comes outside noise walking right through the door.
- How are you? - Good, good, good.
- You look pretty. - Y'all look pretty.
- Nice to see y'all. - Nice to see you too.
Nice to be seen.
Are you leaving?
- Yes. - Tambra.
We just talked about the Collective
and being a Collective, and now we have a Belle
who doesn't want to be around because of outside noise.
Tambra instantly jumped up. You know what?
I'm not doing this. I'm leaving.
Latrice is not here, and I'm not doing this.
And respectfully so. Rightfully so.
I get it.
So somebody does have to stand up for her.
So now you want to stand up, but you didn't stand up for my friend.
- Now you right-- now I am standing up Shante. - Who are you yelling at?
- Because first of all, let me tell you.
Get your finger out my face!
- You want a spotlight. - I don't want--
baby I already have a spotlight.
- Don't play with me. - Westside Tam is activated.
Now her and Shante going at it.
And Lord have mercy, what are we doing here?
This is a luncheon.
Oh, in everything that you're doing.
She's not a Belle. I'm sorry.
She's not.
We're supposed to be a Collective.
Latrice is not here.
Latrice has actually been one of the Belles who has
consistently checked on me during the entire time my dad
was in the hospital. Latrice is not here.
Therefore, I need to leave as well.
One band, one sound.
Can't even tell me what the issue is.
She's making up stuff.
Kerri, she's making up stuff.
I've never said anything like that.
So don't-- don't do that.
Coming up this season on Belle Collective."
I've been in this family since 1998.
And if you want to stay in it, you got to start respecting me.
No. Hell no!
Now, that's a dress.
Selena has a number of things
that have not been done for this wedding.
She doesn't have a venue, a caterer.
I don't know if it's going to be all right or not.
- Don't want to be. - Then [bleep] you.
Nah, if you ain't [bleep] me you gotta to make a baby.
Should I be expecting divorce papers?
Listen, we can't keep circling the drain.
I will whoop her. Do not play with me today.
- Marie you have said it. Kerri is a liar. - Uh-uh.
Say what you mean and mean what you say.
Don't tell me nothing a mother[bleep] say.
- Hey-- hey. - You tell me what you heard me say?
