NARRATOR: Previously on Basketball Wives Orlando.
MEHGAN: I am Mehgan James.
I'm finally ready to press pause on the LA fast life.
- I'm in my thirties now.
I want to shed my bad girl image.
ASHLEY: My name is Ashley Snell.
I've been married to Tony for two years.
- I am an entrepreneur.
Thank you for coming.
- I'm Morgan.
I plan on becoming the Queen Pen of the beauty
industry of Orlando, Florida.
- What's the status of you and Ashley?
- [bleep] Ashley.
- Have you actually met MacKenzie in person?
- I'm not going to no side bitch.
You're not going to boogie me up out of a man's life
I've been with for eight years.
- I don't want to.
[theme music] (SINGING) She got the eye.
She got the eye, the eye of the tiger.
Ooh-la, she got the eye.
- Lately, I have been super booked and busy,
and it kind of keeps me away from Orlando.
And being a content creator, I'm a little upset about that
because I'm missing out on creating
content with my new friends.
I'm definitely ready to turn the camera onto what's
all going on in Orlando.
(SINGING) Pick it up now.
Pick it up now.
- Billy, come here.
Come on.
- So what's been going on?
- Girl, it was so much when you left.
I wish you would have been here.
- That's what I'm saying.
I had to go out of town for my damn hosting.
And I missed everything.
- Yes, Ashley, she invited me to her event.
- Uh-huh.
- It was like, bro, everything was cool at first.
And then I seen Danny going back and forth with McKenzie.
- Uh-huh. (ON) DANIELLE: Hear the audio?
- Very have messed with a man
who's in a relationship.
- Do you want to hear the audio?
See the screenshots?
- Um, I heard you--
- Because if you're not going to--
- --on the phone telling her you
were going to come into this--
- If you're not going
to start with accountability--
- --calling me a side bitch.
So I'm already expecting you to say this.
- If you're not going
to start with accountability, then I don't want to hear it.
- And I already know the gist behind that.
Like, McKenzie, you were in the same position last year.
- Yeah.
- But you were the person who was hurt.
- Mm-hmm.
- So I felt like Danny was
coming from a place of hurt. (ON) NIQUE: Mm-hmm.
- Obviously, and she had to get it out.
Danny and I have known each other for a little while now.
And I understand her perspective 1,000%
because she's only known Rashad.
She's only known being with him.
And she's never seen him with anyone else.
I feel like it wasn't the place, but you can't tell somebody
when they feel a certain way--
NIQUE: How to feel and how to react.
- --where to do it.
- Mm-hmm.
I can understand Danny's hurt and anger
over McKenzie dating Rashad.
But it's really honestly nothing she can do,
and I feel like she's going about it the wrong way.
- So hopefully, everything
goes as good as it can.
But that was basically all that happened.
- Mm-hmm.
I'm going to give you all the details.
But later on this week, I'm having a girls' night.
And you know how I feel about drinking.
You know how we feel about drinking.
MULAN: OK.
- So just get some girls' night going,
like some drinks flowing.
MULAN: So what are we wearing?
- I don't know, I want to wear something good.
Like, I want to--
I want to be able to take pictures.
I want it to be like a real girls' night.
We all recording each other.
We're doing a TikToks.
Content day, for sure.
Girls' night out is just what this group needs.
We need to loosen up, have some drinks.
And I to get content for my channel.
This is the perfect way to woosah.
I just want to get everybody together.
I hate the, ahh, like the caddy [bleep].
- Yeah, we need to know right from wrong.
NIQUE: Mm-hmm, that's true.
- How many strikes are we going to give each other?
NIQUE: That's true.
(SINGING) I got a feeling there going through my head.
Like I want to feel my skin, taking in that sunlight.
Every morning, I feel it all.
- Hey, babe.
What are you cooking?
- It's steak.
- What kind of steak?
- From a cow.
[laughs] It's a regular thing.
- Dre is my man, my man, my man, my man, my man.
We met about a year ago through Instagram.
And he's a very popular tattoo artist in the basketball
and hip hop world.
And he really has his life together.
He's not a player.
He's a real man.
It's OK. (ON) DRE: You can even smell it.
- It smell OK.
- Smell it.
- I feel like Dre and I get along so well because we
have a lot in common.
He's a creative.
I'm a creative.
He's an entrepreneur.
I'm an entrepreneur.
And I've been going through his phone, and I never find [bleep]
I missed you.
- I missed you too.
How was your day?
- Well, it would be way better if you
could just move here with me.
- You know I can't just pick up and leave.
Like, I got kids.
How do you like my kids?
- Actually love your kids.
- Because you talk about my kids and about me moving,
but I got to be by them.
So this is my question for you then.
So where are we willing to take this?
Like, how far are we--
- I want a kid.
Oh, wait, I got a surprise actually.
- What's the surprise?
Is this a pregnancy test?
- Boy, here, take it.
- It says not pregnant.
[laughs] Phew.
- Dre and I, we're very serious.
And I'm just ready to just move into the next chapter
of my life.
Like, I feel like I've done it all.
I feel like the only thing that I'm missing in my life
is a family.
And I want to do it with Dre.
- So you're ready to have a kid?
- You're not?
- Yes.
But you know, I'm a very family-oriented person.
- And you know I'm not.
- But that's the problem.
If I'm with somebody, I want them
to be close to their family.
- But they're not close to me.
- But that's an effort that we got to both make.
Like, my mom is number one person in my life.
My dad has been there my whole life.
- My dad died, so ain't no getting close to him.
- I know you had your granny and your grandpa.
Like, you had people there.
But your mom, you felt some way about your mom.
- Can't do.
- Why?
MEHGAN: I have tried multiple times to have
a relationship with my mom.
And something always happens, and it's always
worse than it was before.
I'd rather it just be nothing.
- My mom had me when she was 18 years old.
She gave me to my grandmother to raise.
And she wasn't really around as much as she should have been.
There had been a point in my life
where I hadn't spoken to my mom in maybe one or two years.
And our first conversation was, like, hey, Mehgan,
I know Diddy's birthday party is coming up next month.
Like, can I be your plus one?
Like, girl, hang it up.
- This is big for me.
We're in a relationship together.
- So you're telling me
if I am not close to my family, you're
going to break up with me.
- Stop playing with me.
- You were getting so mad.
- It don't matter.
I'm not going to break up with you,
but I'm going to push every day for you
to be close to your family.
Like, I got "familia" tattooed across in front of my neck
because it is.
Family is the most important thing in life.
You need that relationship.
- I kind of feel pressured because I really
like Dre, and I would hate for something like this
to ruin what we have going on.
So I'm open to the idea just to make him happy.
But I just kind of feel pressured.
- Hand me the pregnancy test.
- I dare you.
If you love me, you'll do it.
Aw, you love me.
Oh, babe.
- Let's do it. Cheers.
- No, I'm not drinking that.
- All right, I'll drink it both.
I'm going to pour mine out too.
(SINGING) I get paid for my good size, but I've been up since.
Yeah, yeah, I think I'm going to need a vibe check.
- Mackenzie was caught off guard the other day
at the grand re-opening when Danny was
going in on her about Rashad.
Even though Danny is a good friend of mine,
and I get that she's coming from a place of hurt,
I still want to hear Mackenzie's side
and see where she is with Rashad so I can
maybe come to a clear understanding
and also sit them both down.
This can be figured out.
- Hey.
- Hi, girl.
- How are you?
- I'm OK.
- Ooh, sorry I'm all running late.
- I know.
Look at me, I have no makeup on.
- Girl, you look so beautiful.
You look good.
- Thanks for meeting with me.
I wanted to talk about you and Danielle.
- Yeah, I'm not sure what Danielle has
shared with you or whatever.
But it's like, I've never been a side girl to Rashad.
I'm not the reason they broke up.
- So--
- I know you can't speak for her.
Like--
- Yeah, because I'm like--
- I know it's not your issue.
- OK, so woman to woman-- woman to woman--
- Mm-hmm, OK.
- Eight years of a man being with somebody,
this is just me.
And they have two children together.
They were engaged.
And then literally, not even 90 days later,
you think they weren't still communicating in any sense
of being still together?
- But I mean, no.
Anything Danielle has to say about still being
involved with Rashad is a lie.
He broke up with her because he didn't
want to be with her anymore.
Even if I was out of the picture,
he still wouldn't go back to her.
- How does she even find
out that you guys were talking?
- So we went on a trip to Tulum.
And she saw that he had posted on his story,
like him and I. She screenshotted
it and started sending it around on a fake page.
- Mm-hmm
- He told her, yeah, I know her,
but no, it's not like that.
He shouldn't have done that.
I understand why he did it now because she
makes his life hell.
So it's like it's easier for her to not know,
and it'd be peaceful, than for her to know and her harass him.
- That one lie trickled into--
- A whole thing. (OFF) MULAN: --a frustration.
- Yeah.
- And now, it feels like, OK, well,
if he lied about that one thing, why are you believing
him about anything else?
Because she feels like she's known him for so much longer.
- Well, and here's the thing,
I know why he lied about it.
Because what she did to me at the store,
he didn't want that to happen.
He told me, he's like, she will go from 1 to 100 real quick.
- She ain't got no worry, though.
I was like--
- I'm like, where's
the off button on this chick? Like, I'm like--
- I'm like--
but I feel like what he is saying to her,
he is playing both sides.
And that's what I feel.
Like, I feel like he is truly playing both sides.
That's why I'm like, get to the source and just get it out.
Because if not, it's just going to be, he said this,
she said that.
I said this.
Like, you know what I'm saying?
I am tired of men getting off in these situations.
Rashad created the love triangle,
and he's creating all the confusion between these women.
Make him testify.
Put him on a stand.
You want to get to the bottom of it.
Period.
There's always someone's side, another one's side,
and the truth.
- I really don't like the messy stuff.
- It's so draining to be around negative [bleep].
- If they cannot come to a cordial agreement,
we're all going to not hang?
- I think today is supposed
to be a prayer for peace.
- I feel like the room will be very divided.
There's definitely no way I'm getting along with Mackenzie.
Never have I ever been a side chick.
- I've never been one.
- The lies.
(SINGING) Let me tell you when I look,
let me tell you when I look how high I'm feeling.
- With the grand reopening of ASC behind me,
it's time to get back to what matters the most,
being a wife and a mom.
I met Tony six years ago at Jimmy Butler's barbecue.
I knew I wanted to be married.
I knew I wanted to have a family.
My journey to motherhood was not what I expected.
I lost my father in November of 2018.
And one year later, I lost my mom.
And I was two months pregnant.
And then in February of 2020, Tony and I lost our son.
And I was five months pregnant.
The experience was extremely hard,
but I still wanted to try for children.
So we found a surrogate.
And Carter was born in November of 2020.
And about a year after that, we had our son
Kenzo with a second surrogate.
Hi, stinky.
How's he doing?
- He won't let go of me.
- Maybe let's bring him to the wall here.
Hey, Carter.
Hmm, you're OK.
I was informed by two different pediatricians when Carter was
between 6 and 12 months that he was
showing developmental delays.
And I didn't really want to believe it.
I just figured he's moving at his own pace.
But around 18 months, we had the results that he is
autistic and high-functioning.
I'm not going to let you go.
Let's do it again.
- No.
[cries]
- No?
You're all done?
The biggest hardship for us was Carter not speaking.
A lot of other parents and people I would talk to,
they didn't mean anything by it, but they would tell
me stories about like, oh, I just
wish my kid would stop talking.
And it's like, well, will my son ever talk to me?
Like, will he understand "I love you"?
- What's up, big boys? (ON) ASHLEY: Look, it's Daddy.
- Hi, Daddy.
- Hi.
- Say, hi, Daddy.
- Hi.
- Oh, hi, babe. (ON) TONY: What's happening?
- Nothing. Ooh.
- What are you doing? (ON) ASHLEY: You got some.
Did Sasha make you dirty?
While I am blessed to have my son be able to speak to me now,
I'm starting to notice some of the same developmental delays
with Kenzo.
But I'm hoping that I can get a head
start on it because I've learned so
much from Carter's diagnosis.
Ooh, so kind of a lot happened today.
- What else happened?
- The pediatrician that can even
take a look at him won't give us an appointment until September.
Yeah.
So in the meantime, we'll do an evaluation
for the autism diagnosis just to see where he's at.
And that's like a nine-hour evaluation.
- No.
- And with your schedule,
I'm like, where, what state are you going to be in?
- Right.
- They have to stay here because we have
to keep them in their programs.
So it's a matter of balancing--
- Balancing. (ON) ASHLEY: Yeah.
- Jinx [bleep].
- [laughs] Tony's story is
an extremely beautiful story.
He got drafted into the NBA and so far has played nine years.
Then finds out he's diagnosed with autism, and he's had it
his whole life.
Which is something that he would have been told as a young boy,
being in the NBA is impossible for you.
So for our sons, sky's the limit.
I would like to start them with a second language.
But let's focus on a first language.
- I totally know. (ON) ASHLEY: Yeah.
- Baby steps. (ON) ASHLEY: Baby steps, I know.
- Yeah, one, two, three, four, five, all the way.
Come on.
- Yes.
(SINGING) One, two, let's go.
For the people in the middle of the alley wanna bump.
And everybody who just say that people's not gon' be the trump.
For the people in the back and for the people in the front--
- What's up, my beauties?
It's your girl, Nique.
And I am back with another video.
Yes, I'm having my very own, my first girls' night in Orlando.
I'm going to bring y'all with me.
But first, we're going to do a little get ready with me video.
I'm about to try these clothes on and let
y'all see what they look like.
So hold on real quick.
I'll be right back.
When I was younger, I used to watch a lot of vlogs
and a lot of vloggers online.
And then I just kind of fell in love with it
and wanted to do it myself.
Let me set y'all up.
Ah.
I want it go right there, OK.
This outfit, it's really, really cute.
But I feel like it's just too date-nighty.
You know what I mean?
It's kind of giving like on a date, which only mean not
going out with y'all friends.
I'm not trying to be a lady tonight.
I'm just, wait.
This is the look.
I'm not going to lie, this surprised me.
I actually like this a lot, a lot, a lot.
We're going to look sexy with the back out.
When Dwayne came into my life, he definitely
swept me off my feet.
But creating content helped me be more independent.
It's been my source of income since I had my son.
And I think it's important for young girls
to see someone like me standing on my own two feet.
Thank y'all so much for tuning in.
We're about to get to this turn up, so peace out.
(SINGING) We be taking over riding waves like supernova.
- Tonight is girls' night with the crew.
And Danielle and I are getting fly and cute.
Because y'all know Nique got a big following online.
And they going to come for us if we don't show up and show out.
I think today is supposed to be a prayer for peace.
- I feel like the room will be very divided.
I don't want to call it like getting along.
I would call it like more so like we're tolerating
each other's presence.
There's definitely no way I'm getting along with MacKenzie.
I'm actually honestly tired of people saying like,
oh, she's angry, or she's upset.
They just need to have a conversation.
Baby, you have seen all the receipts, and the tea,
and everything that you need to know.
And you're still stupid?
- I don't think-- honestly, though, I don't
think MacKenzie is stupid.
I think MacKenzie is lonely. (ON) DANIELLE: [blows raspberry]
- I feel like-- what?
No, I'm being real.
I think she's lonely.
Like, how are you lonely with two kids?
But listen to this, though, imagine her baby daddy
moving on to a successful relationship
with somebody else that have a kid.
You know, Nique is successful in what she does.
- She got her own business.
She's successful.
- Yeah, Nique is successful.
She has her own business. (ON) DANIELLE: She a boss.
- She's a boss. (ON) DANIELLE: Yeah.
- And then she's like, oh, well,
you've moved on with my baby daddy.
Well, I'm going to try to find somebody
better or equal or greater than, like we
learned in middle school.
- I understand what Megan is saying.
But at the end of the day, MacKenzie is grown.
She saw the text message, the pictures, and the call logs.
If she's lonely, she should have found
another man, an available man, one that was single,
not engaged.
I know how it feels to be stupid and, you know, miss red flags.
And when you think you in love--
- Girl, you don't miss no [bleep] red flags.
You see them flags.
You just hop on a ride anyway, bitch.
- Yeah.
- Red flags turn into six flags real quick.
- I'm dead. Nice.
- Period, I'm getting on the ride.
NARRATOR: Coming up on Basketball Wives Orlando.
- Like, mom has said so many bad things about me.
- And she may be out of line.
You might have to just step in and be
like, OK, be the bigger person.
- How come I have to be the bigger
person with my mother?
Like, be the parent.
- Never have I ever been fake.
- Girl, you fake.
Put your damn finger down.
- Broke people got a lot of opinion.
(SINGING) But you never seen a girl like me.
I'm back at it again.
Uh, cause I look good, good all day, all night.
- Tonight is girls' night.
I am ready for everybody to get up, get dressed, to look fine,
and have a good time.
I want to see a different side of everybody.
I'm tired of seeing the bitter side.
I want to see the fun, wild girl side.
So I just made it to the restaurant.
Nobody's here yet.
But the vibe is so amazing.
It's so cute.
I'm super excited to see everybody.
I'll let y'all meet them and vibe with them.
Y'all comment down below who y'all favorite person
is when I introduce them, OK?
Oh big fun.
- Hi, baby.
I missed you.
Where do you want me to sit today?
- I missed you too. Let's talk.
You can sit right here.
Get your thing right here.
[laughs]
- You look good.
- No, you look good.
- Hey, girl.
- Hi, guys.
- Hang on.
I would have get up, but y'all look cute.
- You too.
- Oh, thank you, you too.
- You can sit right here.
- Big fun.
Look at that booty.
- All these booties.
Let me introduce this.
Y'all the first two here.
I got to introduce my vlog to y'all first.
That's the vlog.
- Hey, you guys.
It's your girl, Mulan Hernandez here.
- I did not know that was going.
- Yes, I'm vlogging.
We got Miss Nikki Nicole.
- Hello.
- She was literally my body goals.
I'm like-- (ON) NIKKI: Really?
- --I want to look like her
when I get older, yeah.
- But you got it, though.
- Thanks.
(SINGING) I'm so big.
I'm a real one.
Moneymaker hustle chick, I take you down if you
really want to mess with me.
- I am looking forward
to girls' night and some fun, to have some drinks.
And I'm not going to let anyone mess up my vibe tonight.
- Ooh, OK.
You definitely got the outfit of the day already.
- I know.
- Hi.
- Oh!
- Everybody is looking good tonight.
This is exactly what I wanted, good energy, good vibes.
I think my followers are definitely
going to enjoy this content I'm bringing them tonight.
- Anybody even talked to Ashley?
- Well, I went to her store, and I visited her.
I guess that was our first time basically talking,
like a one-on-one conversation.
And I invited her.
I felt like she was super separated from everybody.
She said that she was like on another island.
- Another island or space?
- Oh, another world.
- Oh, god.
Living in the land of delulu.
- Delulu this.
- Let me get out of your way, child.
- Ooh.
- Oh.
- Oh, that was bad luck.
- Of course, glasses would break when
Ashley's name is brought up.
I told y'all, she was the wicked witch of Orlando.
[laughs]
- OK, you guys, so we got this super cutie Colin.
He's making us a Dragon in a Bag.
I got the real drinks.
(SINGING) Pull up.
- Oh, I need the flag.
You know I'm bi.
(SINGING) We going to turn it up, make it hottie.
- Hi.
Hi.
MULAN: You fixed your hair up, OK?
- I'm looking forward
to having a good time with Nique and all the other ladies.
But I really don't want to talk to Danielle.
I know Mulan thinks it would be a good idea, but not right now.
MULAN: You changed your hair up?
- Oh, not the Rastafari, you here.
Not the dreadlocks.
- [laughs] I'm not going to even be
able to take this conversation.
I'm cool.
MULAN: Is it a wig?
- No, I was in a chair for like seven hours.
MEHGAN: One of those crochets?
- It's like, um, locked.
- Is it like ball locks?
Or do they really latched your hair in there?
- No, no, it's ball.
It's like wrapped around a braid.
It's a little-- it's a little tight.
- Yeah, it looked tight.
- [laughs]
- Cut it out.
- Child, you too.
[laughs]
- You know, the whole reason of this event
was to you bring everybody together and just do
something fun without the drama and without all the extra [bleep].
So let's have fun.
Let's turn up.
Let's enjoy ourselves.
- So being cordial.
- Being ghetto.
- To having a good time genuinely.
- So cheers.
[laughs]
MEHGAN: Do you guys want to play a game?
OK, y'all.
- Now, she writing down the game.
- Who want to play Never
Have I Ever but the anonymous edition, right?
You put-- you write down two questions.
And then we're going to go around.
And you just take questions out of the cup.
And you got to answer whatever question,
and nobody knows who asked the question.
MULAN: You picked that?
Of course, you [bleep] did.
- Let's keep it cute, friend.
- OK, I'm ready.
- Let's start at the top, at the top.
MEHGAN: All right, you get the first question.
- Never have I ever slept with a married man.
MULAN: Oh boy, that question y'all funny as [bleep].
We coming in hot with this game.
Never have I ever played this game for it to end in peace.
[laughs]
MEHGAN: Say it real loud too.
Say it loud, Danielle.
- Never have I ever been a side chick.
- I have.
- I've never been one.
- The lies.
The lies of it all.
- I don't understand how somebody could
ever be a side chick when there was no main chick
in the equation to begin with.
- Never have I ever put a friend onto my friend's
significant other.
- I'm a woman of morals.
- I thought this game was supposed to be anonymous.
It's quite obvious who wrote that question.
Never have I ever been fake.
- [laughs]
- I'm out.
- I mean, in what way?
Like the body, or what way?
- Girl, you fake.
Put your damn finger down.
- Girls' night is not so fun after all.
All this shade that's happening, it's killing my mood.
And I don't like to be in a bad mood when I drink.
- Never have I ever been friends with
someone to--
- Climb a social, so you're just saying.
- --climb a social status.
- That's a lie.
I heard that you said you were only my friend
in the basketball world.
- Did we ever hang out outside?
- That's you.
That's being friends with someone as a social status.
- You know what, I don't
want to do this with Nique.
But you said you stopped being my friend in Milwaukee,
but you came to my wedding three years later.
We never hung out outside of basketball,
except in my wedding.
- What, you know what, print the receipts.
- You can print whatever receipts you want.
- She's a liar. Because she's a liar.
- Very much so.
- Morgan has this label, like we
were the best of friends.
We did everything together.
We were friends in a basketball world.
I don't want to be your friend anymore.
Get over it.
- OK, y'all, this is the last question.
It's this.
Never have I ever thought Ashley's hair was cute.
NIKKI: Who wrote that?
- So we put it down if we think it's cute.
- Everything is about me.
- Honey, what the [bleep] it said?
- Now, don't bother me.
It is what it is.
Everybody's entitled to an opinion.
- Her hair is literally always [bleep] up.
- Broke people got a lot of opinions.
- Girl, shut up.
Shut up. (ON) MULAN: Oh, my god.
OK, y'all.
Please, no.
- Who the [bleep] wrote that?
- Ooh.
- Game over!
NARRATOR: Coming up on Basketball Wives Orlando.
- Ashley went and got her hair done.
You just over there laughing.
NIQUE: I felt bad because I invited her.
You're making it seem like we just like, you know,
being big bully bitches.
DANIELLE: I had to put the ball down
to be a fiancee and a mom.
[laughs] I'm ready to just take back what was mine.
Like, I was the star.
- One thing everybody else about
to stop doing is lying.
If you have a conversation, you're
going to have to answer for it.
- I don't have the best
relationship with my family, especially not with my mother.
It's been about three years since we've
spoken or even seen each other.
But if I'm trying to move forward with Dre,
I'll at least try.
(SINGING) Well, you can do it, oh-oh.
- Hey, sister.
- [gasps] Hey.
I missed you. (ON) BRIAN: I missed you.
How are you?
- Regular.
You look cute.
- I try.
- Do you need help?
- No, I'm all right.
- Before I reconnect with my mom,
I wanted to reconnect with my brother Brian first.
Brian is three years younger than me,
and we were really close growing up.
But we haven't really spoken in the last few years
because our careers went into different directions.
My mother and Brian are very close.
They live near each other.
They talk on the phone every day.
They visit each other very often.
And my mom raised Brian from birth to graduation.
So he is the person to go to when it comes to my mom.
- What's new?
- Um, I just moved here.
I've been in LA for 10 years.
So I was just like, this time for a new leaf change.
I got a new boyfriend.
- That's really the tea I was trying to figure out.
- Oh, he a regular, degular, shmegular.
- OK.
- He ain't an athlete or anything.
He's a business owner. (ON) BRIAN: OK.
- And we've been trying for a baby.
- Congrats, congrats, congrats.
- Oh, I'm not pregnant yet.
- You know me, it only took me one time.
- Oh, whatever. (ON) BRIAN: But yeah, no.
- You have two kids. How are the kids?
- They're good.
They're good.
Everybody good.
They say we miss you, want to see you more.
- Well, my boyfriend's
been pressing me to make things right with my family.
But before we get back into hanging out,
there's like a lot of things that we
need to talk about, like everything that
has happened over the years. (ON) BRIAN: For sure.
- It always gets swept under the rug.
Like, mom has had so many bad things about me.
Like, I can-- she said them to my face.
She said them behind my back.
And she's just done so many things to me
that you don't even know about.
Basically, I feel like my mom is very narcissistic.
She plays victim a lot.
She will try to pin other people outside of the situation
against me.
And she only calls me when she needs something.
My mom is the prime example of who
I don't want to be as a mother.
I know my faults.
I know I got an attitude.
But I just also feel like if I can take accountability
for the things that I have done, why can't nobody
else take accountability?
- You know, sister, and I 1,000%
get where you coming from.
And I get where she's coming from.
That's why I've talked to mama before.
I've told mama that you have a--
you can blow up sometimes.
Like, you can be overexaggerated sometimes.
Like, I've told her that.
But you know how our mother is, she
hears what she wants to hear, and she
doesn't what she doesn't.
But at the end of the day, that's still our mother.
We have to respect. And she may be out of line.
You might have to just step in and be
like, OK, be the bigger person.
- Like, I'll apologize
for being disrespectful.
But why-- how come I have to be the bigger
person with my mother?
Like, be the parent.
[music playing]
(SINGING) Yeah, they in trouble.
Wasn't ready for what he did, could pop your bubble.
Thought you were the hottest around,
I left you in the rubble.
- Hi.
Oh, yeah, this is real cute.
Our girls' night out was anything
but the good time Nique was looking for.
Because some girls just couldn't curb their cattiness.
(SINGING) Yeah, it's not astrophysics.
Pretty girl, how lyrics are so bad for critics.
NIQUE: Hi, how you doing?
I'm just meeting her.
I just need a pedicure, all white.
- You know about the white toes.
NIQUE: White toes bring the hoes.
[laughs]
(SINGING) Make them bounce, say, what, what?
You can't stop me.
- Hey y'all.
NIQUE: Hi.
- It's Nikki Nicole.
NIKKI: I got to scoot back a little bit.
Y'all know I'm so damn tall.
Gotta give her little extra space.
- Men love tall women.
When they're thinking jeans, they're thinking height.
- They're thinking heels.
They're thinking long legs.
- They better be tall enough to ride the ride.
[laughter]
We haven't got to talk about your event,
how you felt about it.
- I don't know.
I didn't enjoy myself as much as I thought I would.
Because it just is like groups was divided.
And that wasn't the point of the party.
The point of the party was for everybody to be together.
- Yeah, it wasn't very comfortable.
- We couldn't really focus on having a good time.
- No, I felt some type where I'm like, dang,
Ashley went and got her hair done.
You just over there laughing.
- Oh, not the Rastafari, you here.
Not the dreadlocks.
- [laughs]
- I felt bad because I invited her.
I don't want this girl to be up and feel uncomfortable
and making a scene like we just like,
you know, bullies, being big bully bitches.
- [laughs] Mehgan is hilarious for that question
about Ashley hair.
- Who made the hair question?
- Oh, that wasn't me.
- That was not me.
- Mehgan, you wrote that question?
- Oh, my god.
- What?
- Wait, so Mehgan don't
really like Ashley like that?
Because why would she even be making fun of that girl hair
in front of everybody?
- That's what threw me for a loop.
- It's just a little shadiness.
It's already weird being stuck in the middle
of Morgan and Ashley drama.
Her question just added fuel to the fire.
- I really don't like the messy stuff,
feeling like I'm in the middle because it's
like, it's tension.
- Mm-hmm, I feel like we all feel the same.
Like, yes, I enjoy Morgan and Danny's company.
But I also am going to be able to be
cordial with Ashley and MacKenzie
no matter where we are.
- Yeah.
- I mean, obviously, we're neutral.
But I don't see myself--
- But it's draining neutral.
But it's so draining to be around negative [bleep].
- Can't even enjoy the moment or the event.
- At the end of the day,
if they cannot come to a cordial agreement,
we're all going to not hang?
Like, I want to do, you know, dinner and sit around a table.
I don't want to happen what happened at your event.
After they really talked to each other,
I feel like we're going to be able to be cool.
- We go outside.
- Yeah.
Actually go to event, like a club, like the whole thing.
- I'm going to go to the liquor store.
- No, but you get the most drunk.
Then their real feelings start coming out.
They start, that whore looking at me.
Whose you looking at?
Y'all ain't going to embarrass me in no club.
They fighting over there.
- They're not going to snatch my wig off.
[giggles]
NARRATOR: Coming up on Basketball Wives Orlando.
- I'm really just trying
to like be done with the drama.
- Especially with everything, with MacKenzie.
- It's hurtful.
- I am doing a little get together.
I'm going to call it the last supper.
- Oh, lord.
[music playing] - Nique's event last night
was not as fun as I was hoping.
But what I won't be doing is dwelling on the drama.
Because today, I'm taking my son Kenzo for his assessment.
Hi.
- Hi, good morning.
Good to see you.
- An assessment is simply the testing portion.
The psychologist is going to just review his behaviors,
his patterns, the way he reacts to different stimulus,
to see where he's at.
- My name is Ms. Card.
- Even though we're doing
this assessment for Kenzo, I don't have the final answer.
It is nerve wracking, given that I have been down
this road with Carter before.
And I just want to get the best help and early
intervention possible.
MS. CARD: So I'm going to do some testing.
- OK.
MS. CARD: Kenzo, can I have the ball?
- Kenzo.
MS. CARD: So can I get the ball?
- I'm noticing that he's
doing so many things similar to Carter
that he actually has never done in the house.
Being super focused on the toys, lining them up with patterns,
I'm really trying to take it all in.
But it's leaning me towards knowing
like, I was right to bring him in to get assessed.
MS. CARD: So one of the assessment is sensory.
He likes loud sound.
- He likes loud sounds.
Or he's not as bothered like Carter is.
MS. CARD: Which one do you want?
Yellow?
Pink?
The pink?
- Pink. (ON) ASHLEY: Pink.
- Good job.
- While I wait for Kenzo
to get the final diagnosis, I've actually already
enrolled him in speech therapy.
So regardless if he has autism or not,
I'm doing everything I can to just help both of my sons
achieve success.
Should we clean up?
In here. (ON) MS. CARD: Put some in here.
Good job.
- Good job.
He responds so well to positive reinforcement, yes.
Good job.
(SINGING) I was built for this.
I was made for this.
Give me a challenge, you know that I'd be crushing it.
People be waiting for something in their lives to change.
But I'd be running cause I don't have any time to waste.
I'm the boss.
- Woo!
I don't remember the last time I hooped for real.
- Me and Danny have a lot in common.
We both have a passion for basketball.
We grew up playing, and we both are college athletes.
And even though it's been a few years since we've
been on the court, when you have a love for the game,
I feel like it's something you can never forget.
- I was coming here,
and I was happy that you invited me to a gym
because I'm trying to get back in shape.
- I want to be able to run up and down the court,
like be lighter on my feet.
And then like, obviously, I would condition with you.
That would be fun.
That'll be a great way for us to bond even more.
- Yeah.
- Because you know, when you have a partner.
You really hold each other accountable.
You know what I'm saying?
- Seeing Mulan actually goes so hard,
grind it out, actually finding a gym out here in Orlando really
inspires me to want to get back to playing
and reminds me of the goals I had before I became a mom.
Honestly, I've been thinking about going
back to play basketball.
- Ooh.
I like that.
That's a good idea.
- After I graduated from UNLV, I went overseas,
and I played one season in Lithuania.
- Oh, no, I didn't know that.
- I came back that summer.
And then I had Carter.
So I had to kind of like put the ball down to be a wife, a mom--
or excuse me, a fiancee and a mom.
[laughs] I just feel like it's time for me
to just focus on myself again.
Like, I'm just ready to just take back what was mine.
Like, I was the star.
- You chasing your dreams is inevitable.
Like, that's what you're supposed to do.
And your kids would want that for you
too when they're old enough to understand.
- Right.
- We all got to find our purpose.
And basketball might be your purpose, for sure.
- Exactly.
I'm really just trying to be done with the drama.
I'm trying to figure out co-parenting with Rashad.
It's been obviously hard, given the current situation.
- All right, you know.
Especially with everything with MacKenzie,
I'm trying to tell her like, it's all he say,
she say at this point.
And until y'all sit down--
and even have Rashad present.
This is the mother of his children.
You need to verify that to her.
- Right, that's how I feel.
And my thing is this is obviously very new for me.
- Right.
- So when I do show up in these spaces,
I do appear a little angry or upset because I am.
It's hurtful.
Because obviously, it's super fresh.
- I just feel like we can sit and be
cordial with each other because I want everybody
to be able to get along.
So I am doing a little get together.
I'm going to call it the last supper.
- Oh, lord.
- To bring all the women together again
in a different type of setting.
I feel like the environment we were in last time,
you guys were kind of distant.
You couldn't even hear what we were saying at all.
And that's why I feel like if we all sat at a dinner table
and we all really discuss things,
we can talk things through.
Can't we be women?
Can't we sit down and be like, hey, our friends are going
to tell us when we're wrong.
You were wrong, Mulan.
Say sorry.
Like, come on. You know what I'm saying?
And I can take constructive criticism.
Like, it is what it is.
But we're still going to all enjoy each other's company.
We going to have fun.
We going to have vibes.
So it's going to be a vibe.
(SINGING) I might get you on the ropes.
I might get you on the ropes.
Can't fight the feeling.
No one ever told me no.
No one never told me no.
- [laughs]
- Oh, is that what I got?
Hi.
Oh, wow. (ON) NIKKI: Yes--
- Were these sitting out here?
- No, I got you some roses delivered
because I know that you're-- (ON) MORGAN: Aw, Nikki.
- I know. (ON) MORGAN: Oh, my god.
- I know that you're going
through so much right now. And I just--
- Thank you.
Well, here go your smoothie.
- That's why I was like, oh, you got me something?
- Yes, I did. And you got me something.
Thank you.
I love flowers.
Nikki did not have to bring me flowers.
This was super sweet.
And for her not to know me that well,
and to just be comforting, and give me support,
it makes me feel a lot better to know that other than Danielle,
I have one more person in my corner.
I love her for that.
And I have been going through a lot here, just being here,
being in this element.
Having this drama with Ashley is really like--
- I know it's draining.
- I hope she just don't try to say nothing to me.
Like, there's nothing for us to talk about.
- I don't think she's going to say nothing to you.
- And I like MacKenzie.
But like, I can't deal with anybody delusional.
Anybody.
Like, you got to see [bleep] for what it
is through crystal clear glass.
Yeah, and Danielle is my friend.
- Let some people tell you y'all bullies.
Y'all was mean girls.
- Hmm, Who said that we were bullying mean girls?
- It was Mulan and Nique.
- Hmm, that's interesting.
If anybody is being bully, I'm being bullied.
Not even just me being bullied.
My children are being brought into it.
Like, Ashley, relax.
- But y'all not bullies.
Y'all just--
- We're just standing up for ourselves.
NIKKI: You're standing up for yourselves.
- People ignoring the things that's going on
with Ashley behind the scenes with me
and my personal situation with my ex,
it's almost like that saying, you know,
you reap what you sow.
And if you laugh at my downfall, you will hit those rocks.
The Danielle situation with Rashad is definitely ongoing.
Like, they just broke up--
- Literally.
- --months ago.
Like, ended a whole engagement.
- Mulan was saying she was
going to pick Danielle and Mackenzie next to each other.
I said I don't think that's a smart idea.
- That is messy.
- MacKenzie across from Danny.
Morgan across from Ashley.
- Do criss-cross or something.
Please don't have it straight across.
- No, I'm not letting her sit next to MacKenzie.
I'm not letting her get out of character like that.
Mulan thinks that I don't see what she's doing.
She's being completely two-faced.
She's playing both sides of the fence.
If she really thinks we're a bully,
she's going to have to justify it right here to my face.
I just like to see who lying because one
thing everybody else is about to stop doing is lying.
If you have a conversation, you're
going to have to answer for it.
NARRATOR: Next on Basketball Wives Orlando.
- Somebody sent me a picture
of Rashad and MacKenzie.
I'm still in the dark about what they have going on.
- I need to be with him
and get away from everything. (ON) NIQUE: Yeah.
- Mulan calling y'all mean
girls the whole time, like you're the meanest
one of them all.
She sent me a picture of the back of it.
- No, don't cry, Nikki.
- When y'all get together, it's too much like--
[mimicking]
- When y'all get together--
- What do you mean by that?
- OK, why are you speaking while I'm speaking?
Bitch, I'm talking. (ON) MORGAN: You're mean girls.
You're a bully.
- She's lying.
Morgan!
