Original subtitles

Dearly beloved, previously we buried our differences.

I am not above apologizing. We ain't going backwards.

Okay. We're going to try to move forward.

Okay. I looked up to you, and I still do. It's love and respect.

But something just won't die.

You're going to have to stay out of my business.

Is that what it is?

So, Tambor, are you willing to be a little more transparent?

Right now, we're the hoops.

There's no sister in it.

Do you still want to be a part of the collective?

I have to leave. I have to leave.

Somebody had said something about a baby and Mike.

If Mike stepped out on me and fathered a child, I would be gone.

What you going to do next?

That I said, what do you mean that? Something about a baby and, like, what I

hear that's been going around the collective that was

online.

Okay. So is that what y 'all talking about?

I didn't see it personally, so I couldn't really speak on it.

The only thing I heard was from Mike and then now from you. And someone put that

under a picture.

Glenn posted a picture with him, Mike, and Cliff. And someone commented,

somebody in this picture, they got a baby on the way.

And they said, well, it's not Glenn this time. They said that. And then they

said it wasn't Cliff's son. People say anything.

Because when I say I'm in the streets, y 'all know y 'all commenting. We know

you in the streets. I have never heard of it. I have never heard of it. Because

your husband once told him I love it. Who said what, ma 'am?

Your husband once told him I love it. Oh, he did?

Girl,

I'm going to ask my man, baby.

Marie did mention the baby rumor to me. But Mike already told me about this

rumor. He came directly to me.

Is this really the correct time? Knowing I am planning a wedding, I'm about to

break.

I had no idea this is who I was talking to.

Today we are at the Mississippi East Center. I am scouting for a location to

host my upcoming talk show pilot focus group. It is set up classroom style, as

you can see. We do provide the projector and the screen and a mic if needed. I'm

doing a focus group, so that is absolutely perfect.

Seeing the venue in person, I am so excited. This fits the image of

that I envision.

For my focus group. Thank you. Thank you.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

I appreciate it. Thank you. All right. See you soon.

Hey. Hey, y 'all. Right on time.

Right on time.

You look so pretty.

How you doing? Good to see you.

Y 'all have a seat. Have a seat.

So I definitely wanted y 'all here.

You know, I mean.

We all know what happened at the photo shoot.

Time out for all that. Yeah, we have to have respect.

So with that being said, I definitely want to have a conversation with First.

When it comes to Glenn and First, I know this is just not a healthy space to be

in. This is very difficult for me, but I do know deep down.

This is something that I have to do.

Hi.

Hey, how you doing? I'm fine.

We're here with Ashley and Donald.

Hey, guys. Hey.

I love y 'all, man. So you know what type of conversation we have to have.

Okay. The photo shoot that just went too far first. It did.

It's not too many things I regret in my life, Tisha.

That's one of them. And I'm truly sorry from the bottom of my heart.

I accept your apology. I definitely accept at the end of the day. I just

like it is in the best interest right now for you to just go on and leave an

absence.

I think to leave an absence will be best for both sides. You know what I'm

saying? Well, thank you, First. I appreciate everything that you've done.

is a major factor in my life. I learned a lot about management.

the business, and this is someone who's very important in my business. And I

know with his absence, there would definitely be a void.

I think you made the right decision.

Thank you.

And Ashley, everything is going to have to fall on you.

I'm telling you, like, I'm going to ride for you because you believed in me when

I didn't believe in myself.

The brand is going to keep branding. It has to. And I believe that everything is

aligning. But right now, we're going to move forward.

Leticia, the focus group that we're going to have, what are you looking to

out of this that could help us move forward?

Feedback. This thing is going to be.

right from top to bottom.

I wanted Loni Love to be a part of it. I think that her experience, her prior

experience, will work great. And she's able to pour into me to help.

me broaden a vision.

Lonnie Love is a powerhouse. She is a television host, a comedian, and she's

about women empowerment. As a woman who's built a successful career by using

voice unapologetically and really just being her authentic self resonates with

me and where I am right now.

I also want to invite all the Bills. We're all leaders. We're all business

owners. We're all visionaries.

And that's something that's important to me. I am in the headspace of making

sure that the focus group stays grounded and professional and it doesn't go like

my photo shoot.

Let's do it, y 'all. Let's do it. We winning, baby.

Let's make the money.

What you knowin' about how I work, I be gettin' that paper.

What you knowin' about how I dance, I'm a mover and shaker.

Hey, thinker. What's up, chick? So what we havin' today?

Um, I think I could do a mocktail today.

Just a mocktail? With a long ass day?

I'm here today at Tate's gettin' some much needed work done. I mean, it feels

good to just not have to focus on the Bills drama, especially after what

happened at the funeral.

Hi,

girl. Hi.

I'm coming here to taste and check in with my girl, Treece, after that mess of

friendship funeral.

You know, I kind of want to do a temperature check with her because I

was taken aback with some of my remarks.

But at the end of the day, I think we're going to have a good old pee -pee and

let the fun begin.

We got so much to unpack from the other night, girl, I thought I was going to a

friendship funeral.

Let's go back to the whole Selena situation.

The one about Mike. And him having a baby with someone that's not Selena?

you put my husband into the equation. I'm sorry.

And that really pissed me off because, like, when it comes to Mike and Selena,

me and my husband, we can't hold down for them, for their whole union, for

everything that they stand for.

So my husband overheard Marie saying this. So he went to Matt and was like,

Matt, you know, Marie Messi is over there, you know, blah, blah, blah. So

basically telling Matt, like, you know, Marie on some message. I have been told

that Marie said it to Selena at the party, at my birthday party.

This was probably a conversation that you teaching Marie had.

So I had heard it through Matt, through the guys at the small

talk. I was not, like, pushed to say it from them. I hadn't. I promise.

Like, girl, on my mama, on my hood.

Like, I don't.

But I just probably put it on the guys because it's easier to just kind of

it up on them. Baby, this is my husband. Now, one thing I'll never do is throw

anything on Max.

Marie, I always say, stand in your seat. Stand in your seat. Stand in your seat.

You the one brought us to the collective.

This is typical Marie.

She never takes accountability for anything that she ever does.

And the fact that she still hasn't owned up to spreading the rumor about Mike

and Selena is absolutely crazy.

And I will say I'm sorry for putting your husband in it. Hell, I put my

in it, too. Do you accept my apology? I will try to be missed.

Thank you, girl. Thank you. I feel that Tree moves differently with her husband

than what I do.

And I see the trees don't play about hers.

The real me, I don't believe in spreading rumors like that. But I hope

can put this whole rumor to rest. And I hope that we can move forward in love

and sisterhood.

Are we good with the bells? Are you good with the bell?

Yes.

I am good with the bell. Good.

Coming up on Bell Collective.

I invited Chante here because I feel like we're going to cut stuff off at the

root. The information was brought to me that, you know, her and Damona are not

together. They're basically two friends that decided that they want to have a

baby. The Collective, they had an obituary.

One of the things that came up was you have a baby on the way.

How could something off of social media end up in the Collective about my

fiancé? Who brought it publicly?

It's been a long time since me and Timber actually had a private

So with me being, you know, a leader, I want to reach out and see if we can

catch up.

Thank

you.

Thank you.

Leticia and I have not actually had a sit -down one -on -one with each other

in years.

What I will say, friend, is that I would try my best, if I see anything or if I

hear anything, to try to, you know, keep everything cool so it won't ruin your

party. So today, we are meeting for the first

time in years. How was the performance?

I missed it.

You missed a performance? Yeah. That's why you left the funeral.

How did you miss it? I missed it. I got caught in traffic.

My baby first.

I cried.

I know you did.

Did he video?

Yeah, he sent me the video, and she did amazing.

But it was the fact that I was not there. Yeah.

I was mad at myself for about a few days. That's okay. Hey, listen, you got

lifetime more to go, but I get it.

How is your dad?

He's better. Okay, good. He's definitely better. And that's why my mom and my

dad cannot make it because he was actually in a rehab center.

Oh, he had to go to rehab. Yeah. So my dad is doing much better than when he

in the hospital. Some days are very good.

Some days are not so good.

But every day he's here.

So I'm thankful for that.

You know, and that was just because.

Hi, sweetheart.

Hey, hey, hey.

I got to hug my friend first.

Leticia did not even tell me someone was joining us today.

We're bringing friends.

I have friends. I could have brought a friend.

This definitely feels like an ambush.

I want to start a new beginning.

I want to show loyalty.

So that's why I invited Shontay here, because I feel like we're going to cut

stuff off at the roof.

Shontay shared some information about Tambra. So I invited her here to lunch

today. Unlike Tambra and Latrice, I believe in the girl code.

Wait a minute, Glenn been in the DM. So Tambra should hear

this directly from the horse's mouth.

Sean Hayes shared this information.

She asked me, did I mind?

And so I'll start with this. The information was brought to me basically

that, you know, her and Demond are not together.

They're basically two friends that decided that they want to have a baby.

was like, what do you look like? Who is he?

So I got a picture.

What's his name?

Now it is date your clients, okay? You lose respect.

Not ever happening.

I should have known.

I should have known.

Shante is here bringing some mess.

Girl, I do not even know you.

Now, Tisha, since we're talking, one thing that Marie said was, like, we need

tell who tells things.

Yes. So, Amanda.

Mm -hmm.

Oh, God.

What she said with me, you have these things that come up with your marriage.

Yeah. And so she was trying to say that's because they have an open

Oh.

She actually said you and Glenn came to her for a threesome. Yeah. She want more

15 minutes. She still searching for 15 minutes. I don't have them to give. And

that's what we said. And girl, I think they put you in the threesome too then.

Oh, God.

You know, I usually don't share rumors.

But since we want to talk about rumors, let's talk about rumors.

Amanda actually told me that Glenn said that Letitia is okay with

everything that he does, as long as she's included.

We were thinking Glenn was cheating.

And if Amanda is saying this, then he's not actually cheating. He's just doing

what he's allowed to do.

Whether it's true, whether it's not, whether you got a boo thing on the side.

Whether you have a boo thing on the side. I know. You know what? And if so,

deserve it. There is absolutely no truth to me and Glenn being in an open

relationship. Stay out the comment. We are not in an open relationship. I can

barely be in a close, private relationship with him peacefully.

So that is no truth to that.

Let them do them. Right now, I am focused on what I have going on.

I told you about my talk show. Yes, you did.

So I'm having a focus group. Okay. And I would love for you to come, especially

by you being a host.

Definitely, I want you to show up. Well, I would be there because, you know, I

love entertaining, honey.

That's right up my alley.

My focus right now is definitely not on the rumors. My focus is on my focus

group, and I cannot be focused on the voice.

And plus, I really want Tambra to be there. This was great, Tambra. I think

is a start.

And hopefully you will feel comfortable and we won't have to wait four years to

have a private conversation again.

But this is a start.

Coming up on Bell Collective.

Everybody's talking.

The baby, the baby.

I'm trying to see who the, who the... I'm trying to see who I can trust.

Why is this coming up and you know? I'm in the process of planning a win.

So this is my fiancee, Molly. Nice to meet you.

All right, welcome.

Mike and I are here at Protect Your Peace Studio.

We have a wedding coming up. I'm just trying to get in shape with my man.

And I want to do some aerial yoga.

All right, so we haven't done aerial before.

No. Okay, so this is going to be fun. It's a new experience.

Okay, so have we done yoga?

I've done some yoga.

Okay, great. So we're going to do yoga, but we're going to support ourselves

with the silk. And you can help her get into some of the poses.

Oh, okay. Okay.

Looking to have this aerial yoga room is set up.

It's a little intimidating, but I am up for the challenge.

Want to try a leg in the silk? Well, I can watch her do this. Okay. I can try a

leg. Yeah, let her try a leg. So, basically, you're just going to hold the

out in front, and you're going to take your right foot, and we're going to

it in.

Oh, yeah.

Come on. No, you clump it.

That's okay. Give me your leg, and I got you.

Yep. I'm going to place it in. There you go.

You want to try? I ain't going to try it. I ain't going to try this.

I really wish Mike would have put more effort into it, but Mike is not feeling

this. But if he wants to help me out, then go right ahead because I definitely

need some help over here.

So we're going to stand up.

So when we come up, so we're going to lean back, our feet come together, and

we're going to come down.

Yeah, good job.

Mike ain't going to be able to catch her ass.

You're going to come back here, and then you bring your leg back.

I'm going to fall on my face. You are not going to fight this fabric, kids.

You're not going nowhere.

Keep your butt up, though. Wait, this, okay.

So y 'all thought I was going to do this?

Oh, hey, no.

You know she was going to do this.

Outside. Outside, yeah.

Yes!

I surprised myself.

This is my very first time doing aerial yoga.

This is all beginner, I promise.

Very bad beginner work.

And for me to get up there and do it. Okay, y 'all want to take a break for a

moment? Yes, ma 'am.

You know, I can just pat myself on the back.

So I was on the road.

Oh, everything.

What you been doing?

Me and the girls met up, the collective.

They had an obituary.

So we can just, I guess, squash everything and put everything out on the

One of the things that came up was you have a baby on the way.

So who called to say that?

Jerry mentioned it. Hearing Selena tell me about a baby room, I'm like, man,

what? It really was funny to me because, I mean, I knew it wasn't real. I think

it was a big deal to huddle.

It wasn't nothing to me, though.

But it was on the Internet.

I need to see this baby my day after.

I was like, and I said that too. I said, me and Mike still looking for the baby.

Where is the baby?

But I just let the ladies know that I'm aware of this rumor. You already came to

me as soon as it came to you. But once I left, I just started thinking like,

okay, when Carrie mentioned it to me, now y 'all want to chime in.

Y 'all should have told me this at first. Carrie been here for two seconds.

If she know.

So if my mama told her, she can go and see it then because they probably scared

to see it.

Who the hell even brought that up in the collector?

So they ain't say who said it. Somebody brought it up.

Everybody's like talking.

The baby, the baby.

Like, why is this coming up and you know I'm in the process of planning a

wedding? I know Carrie brought up the baby situation.

I know Marie tried to.

warned me that it may come up in the collective.

But then I'm like, who else knew about this and didn't tell me? I feel a little

betrayed. We're talking about this sisterhood.

If this is supposed to be a sisterhood, maybe I don't need to be a part of it.

But we got some work to do.

Finish up this wedding.

I need to talk to these ladies.

Get to work.

Get to work.

I'm definitely not going to get back on this.

I'm going to sneak on out of here, because if she come back up in here,

going to put my ass up there, and I'm not trying to do this.

My back said, no.

No, no.

Coming up, Carrie came here after she tried to put you in the middle of a

situation. Me and Mikey had talked.

Mikey said, there's no baby out there. So people are lying, trying to put me in

it.

I ain't in it.

All right, what we got?

I took the culinary, you know. I added napkins and I added gloves because that

would be probably the cheapest thing we could get in the gloves and the cups I

got. But we have a lot of gloves. We had like eight boxes last week.

Boxes gone.

Taysom's been open for a year now, and business is great.

Having a restaurant is one of the hardest, hardest jobs I have ever had to

But I'm here. We're at year one, and I couldn't be more proud.

Hi, honey.

Where you coming from?

I've been up there. What's up?

What you doing up there?

Relaxing until you call.

Everything going.

I see you talking to the chef and everything.

We were just trying to compare prices on food because we're about to do a new

menu. So I want to make sure that it's priced right and affordable so that, you

know, we don't have any issues.

Hopefully we can get that going and, yeah, be good with everything.

And what else is going on with taste?

You are the owner of Pace as well. I thought you had to kick in. I run

divisions. You run certain divisions. So I do my part, and you update me on

other parts.

But it would be nice if you could help out a little bit more.

You didn't even go with me to the meeting at the church.

A few of the neighbors have been complaining about noise, parking.

So I went to a community meeting at a local church to just try to resolve some

of those issues and those worries. I'm definitely not here to be problematic.

Listen, the meeting at the church was crazy because they talked about the

When we got down to the bottom of it, then they said, oh, it's the music from

the cars riding by. And I was like, we can't control cars riding by. So they

said that we were open all time of the night. I pulled up my camera. I said,

listen, we're closed. at this time. Once I pulled the video up, they were like,

well, you know, they're so consistent with trying to say we're a nuisance when

that's not true at all.

You worry about these people. I don't. Well, I take all the worry off you so

don't have to worry. You don't even go to the meetings. There ain't no point

going to the meetings. It's still going to end the way it's going to end. It's

going to end the way it's going to end.

From the bills.

Carrie came here after the whole funeral thing that I did with Letitia. I had to

let her know that I felt some type of way because she tried to put you in the

middle of a situation.

That has shared with me that somebody had said something, something about a

and Mike.

It is crazy. Carrie heard that because I have never heard that. I haven't heard

it because I haven't went to a mother.

Oh, he did?

Me and Mike had talked.

Mike said, there's no baby out there. Right. So people are lying, trying to

me in it.

I ain't in it. I almost saw red because I'm, you know, because I know what it is

and what it's not. And I know that you wouldn't dare do anything like this. I'm

trying to figure out why these bills, Helena's a bill.

Why are you trying to destroy her marriage even though she's getting

That's the way I look at it. I just hate that that carry puts you in the

equation because anything that's dealing with a collective, it needs to stay

within a collective. Like women business is women business.

To me, it didn't matter.

To my wife, she was upset about it because, number one, if the baby is out

there, it's going to come out again.

So I know these bills, they're going to dig, and they're going to be looking for

a baby.

But I do believe in peace. I'm going through so many health issues, I need

peace. Have you scheduled the surgery?

Yes. I actually did schedule the surgery.

It's in two weeks, and yeah, I think I'm going to just take the rest of the

month afterwards and just, you know, take it easy.

Until... You take a step before the surgery and relax.

You're going to need to go in surgery all tense up.

Are you going to be in surgery the entire time? Yeah, I'm going to be

Now, you left last time and my mama had to stay there with me.

I didn't leave me here in surgery. You did.

I left to go get lunch.

You still left.

You was in surgery and knocked out.

You didn't know I left until you came back, too. So how do you know?

Anything could have happened. Like, within those hour, 30 minutes.

You already at the hospital. I'm dying now. My wife had a problem.

Dr. Gatch, there ain't nothing I can do. It doesn't matter.

My husband left me at the hospital alone on my birthday and our anniversary.

I felt abandoned, and I felt disrespected.

I'm not worried when the new surgery comes because I know how much my husband

loves me, and I feel that he'll be right there by my side 100 % the entire time.

I was still in the hospital. I did not leave the hospital. Whatever.

Okay. I feel like he did.

Coming up, anything that comes out, let's talk about it. I'd rather a bail

to me. If you irrelevant, if you outside of the collective, we are a group.

Any outside noises shouldn't be there. So Shante is outside noise.

Today is Shante.

Today

is

a focus group, and I'm so excited.

I've invited all the bells, and I'm looking forward to their feedback.

Just took all that out. This is everything right here.

i am so glad that the bells are here to support me this is what the collective

is about thank you for coming thank you for coming

Thank you. Thank you. And it feels like community.

So I'm definitely glad that they're here today. Thank you guys so much. I

appreciate it for y 'all coming out. I invited you guys here because I wanted

share my latest endeavor. I have a talk show, the LaFesha Pearson show, and I

would love to get your feedback.

I want to sit here. We're going to watch it.

Welcome to the Letitia Pierce Show, where purpose meets power, and where

people share their real story. And today, we're talking about what it means

evolve gracefully while the world is watching.

Please help me welcome my dear friend, Letitia Pierce!

We're watching the pilot, and as we're watching, everyone's quiet.

Like, it is super quiet. I don't know what people are thinking.

I don't know what they're going to say. I don't know what Lonnie is going to

say.

This is the longest time in my life, and I hope that it stays positive with

constructive criticism.

We out here hustling, out here doing something, having the kids, getting back

business. What does balance look like for you right now in this season of your

life? You know.

Letitia. Letitia.

All right, girl.

That's actually like something that I'm dealing with my husband right now.

Because balancing comes at different seasons of life.

You're half paying attention to Letitia's show.

You said I was half paying attention?

It has to keep my attention.

This is her purpose. This is something she has been talking about for years.

This is totally in her element.

I see her really lifting other women up. With a little bit more practice, I feel

like Letitia will be ready in no time.

It's not right now.

Feel alive.

We'll be right back after the break.

I'm not surprised. Thank y 'all. I appreciate y 'all so much. Thank you so

But first, I do have a surprise.

I have Lonnie Love, who is going to provide her feedback.

We sent the clip over as well, so she's been able to watch it. So after we hear

her feedback, then I would love to get your feedback.

Okay?

Oh, wow.

Go, girl.

We in the big league. I know.

Now, the fact that Latifah done brought Lonnie Love.

Up on the screen to give her feedback.

Damn, my feedback, baby.

Lonnie Love is actually a big deal. That is a huge deal.

Of course Lonnie Love's opinion is valid.

Of course. We love Lonnie Love, okay?

Okay, Lonnie. Can you see us out here?

Yep, I can see everybody.

Okay. Hi, everyone.

Hi.

First of all, I am always excited when a woman of color gets her own shot.

Leticia has a great voice.

that needs to be heard.

Lighting is very important, so makeup is also important to help us blend with

the lighting.

Other than that, I will say, as the host, sometimes we're listening so

that we're answering with our guests.

So in television, try to just listen to them. I think that you have a really,

really good future in talk show, and your voice is definitely needed.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Honey, you got to come be on my show, okay?

Okay.

I love that Lonnie loved what she saw.

I was so nervous. Now I'm relieved.

And let's see what the Bells got to say in their feedback.

Fran, I am beyond proud of you. Thank you.

My feedback would be.

Your makeup was flawless, beautiful, however you had to shine in your makeup.

Okay. I feel like when they're shooting, go just to the edge of the backdrop.

Got it. So it just stays, like, in the scene or whatever. Got it. You know,

was kind of... Okay, I see what you're saying. Only thing that I would say is

because y 'all interact, because y 'all are actually friends, sometimes y 'all

were talking at the same time.

That's the only thing that I would say. This is definitely your calling. Like

Marie said, we all know that you are the speaker in the group, the light in.

I didn't like the lighting. In the beginning, when it first came on, I felt

you were produced.

And then when your guests came, you were comfortable.

That's when your personality really started to come out. The feedback from

Bells was definitely constructive criticism, and I appreciate it

I've been through so much over the years, so, so, so much, that I deserve

win. I've been an up.

I've had downs.

But it seems like I've had more downs than ups. So finally, I feel like I'm on

the up and up. And I'm here to say.

Sister, you washed these fruits.

I did.

I washed them after I picked them out of my vineyard.

But no, seriously, thank y 'all so much for real. This is like, this feels great

to have y 'all here.

I did want to talk to you because talking to Tamra, she did share with me

the...

Well, we got the funeral.

He was like, girl, that was a mess. And I said, no, we took a picture and we

hugged. After I left, I just started thinking.

I was like, how could something off of social media end up in the collector

about my fiancé? I just have one question.

Who brought it to the collector?

How could something off of social media end up in the collective about my

fiancé? I just have one question.

Who brought it to the collective?

That's what I want to know.

Oh, my God. This is so frustrating.

Like, nobody wants to confess.

I mean.

Marie is the one who brought it to my attention, and you don't have the

Like, are you kidding me?

I didn't bring it to the collective.

We were at Tate's, and Glenn, Mike, and Cliff, they took a picture. Glenn put it

on his social media page.

Somebody took the picture and put it on one of the blogs. And it said somebody

on this picture got a baby, and it wasn't. But it didn't say who. And so

brought it to Letitia because they didn't specify who it was.

How long ago was that?

A year ago?

But, turns out, Karen knew about it because she said she got it from her

husband. Her husband got it from Cliff, Latrice's husband.

So, I was going to say, Cliff is there.

But, Latrice, you know, you and I talked about it. And, I mean, you know, like,

I was not trying to throw your husband under the bus at all, or mine. I just

like, that...

Kind of where I'd heard it, but somebody else mentioned it because they said

that you had said it at the party.

One thing about it, my husband don't play those type of games. He do not get

marriages, especially Selena and Mike. So did he say he told Matt that?

Yeah, he definitely mentioned it to Matt, but this is the reason why he said

mentioned it. You was having a conversation.

Some people overheard you. Oh, no.

No, no, man. Look, that's a big lie. Well, listen, this was at Carrie's

That's not true. Y 'all, you trying to take it off of Cliff telling Matt.

I had the conversation with her. I said my husband told me.

What y 'all not going to do is put it on my husband.

That's not the truth. Nobody didn't hear me talking about that. That's not true.

So you knew about this when I came to you about Mike and I communication

problems. I cannot go into this marriage without communication.

Maybe we all need to have a conversation, me, you, him, and Glenn.

And why you didn't say anything to me then?

Because I don't have any.

concrete evidence, if I had it and it came to me, I'd have been like, Mike,

let's have this conversation.

Well, Glenn, go talk to Mike. But I will say this.

It's not like it's another woman. It's a baby. So a baby going to materialize.

In a year's time, the baby would have came out.

I want to know how it got in the groove. Especially now, if it came out a year

ago, why now, right before I'm about to get married? So that's what I'm trying

to get to the bottom of. Got it. So I'm like, they should have said something a

year ago, not while I'm planning a wedding. Right. I just feel like in the

collective, a lot of people are not being transparent. I just want to get to

bottom of everything so I can move forward.

Let me... Yeah, because, you know, I don't play by my heart. No, and, you

Trace, even... Well, you said not on backpedal. No, no, no, I'm not

backpedaling. I'm frontpedaling because I would like for this to be dated. You

said you found out it tastes, or was it prior?

Well, I heard it from the guy.

So, you know, I mean...

For any distress, I sincerely, from the bottom of my heart, apologize for even

bringing it up. You know, I was thinking, under the guise of us bringing

everything to the table, and I know that there's some hurt with that. And I'm

sorry for my role in that.

Anything that comes out, let's talk about it. Let's not bring rumors.

rumors, at the end of the day, are just rumors. And stop outside people from

coming into the collection.

Well! Well, since we're talking, Shunpei actually showed up at our lunch, too.

Shunpei brought her own information to me that Daman and I were

not together.

that we've been friends. What? And we decided to have a baby together as

friends. I got it right? Okay.

And I've had a boyfriend this entire time. But she brought a picture of the

No, it was... Okay, can I defend my own information? Can I defend my own

information? Okay. So basically...

Well, you can call it whatever you want, but I'm going to defend it. It was

basically brought to me on some... You know, she got the situation with this

that, you know, she's been dealing with, like, forever since she was younger.

That's what was brought to me.

But how did it feel to you?

It felt ridiculous, because when they showed me the picture, it's actually a

client of our station.

So it felt ridiculous.

A boyfriend can be a closet? No, and that's what we're not going to do. No,

just saying. No, no, no, no, let's roll it back. That's a narrative we're not

going to do because I've worked for everything that I have.

That was my first time ever sitting down with you, Shante.

My very first time.

And I feel like I was getting hit with BS. But like you said something earlier,

if you don't really have any type of proof, we can't really go off a rumor.

I'd rather a bail come to me. If you irrelevant, if you outside of the

collective, we are a group.

Any outside noise, it shouldn't be there.

I believe Shante is the biggest outside noise that the collective definitely

needs to keep out.

Rebuilding again.

We wanted that bigger and stronger than ever, and we can't do that with outside

noise like Shante.

So Shante is outside noise.

Shante is Shante.

I laid it in the car, Shante. I was like, why was I defending myself with

Shante? After the focus group win, I'm glad that the collective could air out

whatever we had to air out in this moment. However, I'm not a fool, and I

this group.

Something else is going to pop up at a later time, a later date. But right

now... I'm going to rejoice in my win.

So once again, anything that's happened before the focus group is done. It's

dead. Let's move forward.

Way to handle that.

We don't need no more. Where's the sage Latrice?

We need the sage. We need the sage. We ready?

Yeah, we ready.

I apologize.

Proud of you. Thank you. Congratulations.

Congratulations. Thank you. Thank you.

Thank you. Thank you.

Next,

I'm Dale Collective.

So, quick question was first, focus.

You know, I did put him on a leave of absence because I want to.

So, what do you want me to do? I think you should fire him and hire me as your

manager.

I don't know. Do I need to invite everybody and just do a whole

since they act like they don't know me?

Do we need to do that?

I think it's to the point.

Is that heavy? Is that a heavy one? Nah.

Showtime.
