This year’s reunion show is hosted by Nina Parker (formerly of TMZ) and while it’s first installment didn’t come close to last year’s epic Love and Hip Hop Atlanta reunion fight, the tension was thick and so was the shade!
In case you missed it, read recap + watch full episode below:
First thing’s first, Stevie J. & Joseline are still together (duh!).
Stevie says he loves Joseline and they?re working on their relationship. Joseline, who referred to her ‘husband’ in previous episodes as just another ‘trick,’ admits that she now no longer thinks with her heart, she thinks with her brain and her pockets.
Translation: “We do this for the check!”
Stevie reveals he’s remaining sober (with or without Joseline’s assistance).
On the flip side, Joseline still has issues with temper, but says she only gives people what they give her.
If you?re nice, I?m gonna be nice. If you?re a bitch, I?m gonna be a bigger bitch.
Nina also asks Joseline about her disappearance during the beginning of the season (when she was reportedly suspended for a few shows), and JoJo says she was in Puerto Rico focusing on herself.
Karlie Redd finally gets called out about her messiness as several of the cast members chime in and agree when Joseline states that Karie isn’t a real friend to anyone!
Joseline says Karlie is a messy friend but Karlie seems to think that running back & forth and telling people’s business is being a true friend.
Joseline feels that as a friend, one should never go back to people who talk bad about your ‘friend’ and laugh with them about said ‘friend’ and Ariane agrees.
When Ariane asks Karlie, ‘Where does your loyalty lie??,’ Karlie states that she has some type of relationship with just about everyone one the cast, regardless of any tensions between them.
Noted… Karlie’s only loyalty is to herself and keeping her ‘job’ on the show.
Moving on.
After briefly roasting Yung Joc about his 8 baby mamas, Nina Parker brings up the fact that Scrappy has managed only to have one child so far.
?God won?t give you more than you can bear,? he says. ?No, they have abortions,? Erica states.
Erica then calls Scrappy a ‘weak ass baby daddy’ and proceeds to go toe to toe with Scrappy onstage, screaming at him ?what are you going to do??
Security guards separate the two and Scrappy gives his baby mama a brand new nickname… ‘Holyfield’!
Mimi and Nikko get into a bit of a heated exchange about how he tried to pimp her for her memoirs and Stevie J. jumps in to defend his baby mama.
[Sidebar: Why is Mimi writing a memoir anyway??? I’m still confused about that one. But I digress]
When things seem to get heated, Joseline tells Stevie to stay seated (cause she clearly has it handled) then proceeds to call Nikko about about his alleged DL activities!
Nikko is on Mimi’s case for a cut of the proceeds from her memoir, but Joseline believes she should never agree to give that lowlife leech a cent.
Joseline also chimes and and says Nikko is gay, seeing he isn?t sleeping with women and that?s why he doesn?t have kids (I guess that’s a sign… since EVERYONE has kids, right?). Hernandez criticizes Nikko for being as old as he is with no kids in sight… pointing out everyone else in the room who does have kids.
It’s kinda weird to see Joseline riding hard for Mimi when it comes to her shady ex, it seems Stevie J’s two woman may be closer than we think.
Moving on.
Joseline and Jessica Dime may have known each other from the Miami stripper scene but they aren’t ‘friends’ in the traditional sense of the word.
While Jessica thought she and ‘Shanellica’ were friends, Joseline says they were merely acquaintances who worked at the same club and had a few threesomes together.
Joseline also comes ‘out’ as a lesbian and says she and Stevie have threesomes because he knows she likes fish more than sausage and he clearly doesn?t mind her liking women.
Nina Parker then asks Mimi if threesomes are a pattern for Stevie and if the two of them did it when they were together… Mimi admits that they did, but just not as much as he and Joseline because she isn?t into women like that.
Parker reveals that Joseline has some ‘tea’ to spill on Mimi, but they save it for Part 2 of the reunion.
