people automatically think that you're broke.
I was a personal guarantor for everything.
- Your counsel allowed you to personally guarantee?

my former CFO took money from the company.
So, I kinda got, like, forced into filing a ABC.
- Okay.

but I'm crumbling on the inside 'cause I got
this $20 million in debt.

I literally get knocked back down because
I'm a personal guarantor.
After I bought my company back,
I got lawsuits like I got underwear.
I have a lawsuit from one time when my partners
played the Gervonta Davis fight at Bar Vegan.
I didn't even see the fight and they're suing me for $100,000
because I illegally, apparently, played the fight.
And then I got another lawsuit for almost $2 million
because I couldn't use my liquor license
because my investors already had a liquor license,
and now they're coming after me, trying to get
all my little coin.

I've advised dozens of restaurants.
You're not the first. Won't be the last.
But at the end of the day, it's gonna be fine
because you're gonna come out of this
with ten times as many stores,
touching ten times as many lives,
and ten times more powerful.
You've just gotta walk through this, right now.

Sometimes I don't even feel like gettin' out of the bed.
I cannot fail. I'm a Black woman,
so it is a big responsibility to be the best.
People said that I couldn't build $100 million brand.

- Really? Really? - These are for you.
- Why am I getting these? - You deserve it.
I'm gonna get you flowers while you're here.
- You know, just cause I'm going through a divorce,
I can't, like, cry every day.
It's important for a girl to be able to, like,
let her hair down and have a good time.
- Did you have some time to look over the menu?
- Oh, might as well order hookah.
- Let me get blueberry mint.
- Do you have white gummy bear?
- No.
- You're the white gummy bear today, baby.
[laughing]
- I'm gonna just do the same thing.
- All right.
- I can't even believe you're in Atlanta, right now. What?
- Nobody could bring me to Atlanta but you.
I mean, let me look at you.
- You know, I'm outside, so, you know.
- I mean, all my money aside, you look like a million bucks.
- Oh.
- The truth is easy to say.
- Blakk is very funny, charismatic, smart.
I would say brilliant.
I'm just grateful to have, like,
a real friend who is there and consistent.
- I've got some gifts for the kids that I'd like to--
you know, maybe you'll give it to 'em or...
- You got gifts for my kids? - Yeah.
- You're gonna make me cry.
- You know, that's my love language.
- Hello. You always do the most.
- You know, you gotta do the most.
Who knows what the future may hold?
- Oh.
What are the possibilities of what the future may hold?
- Friends, friendship,
friends with benefits.
- Yes. - You know, I don't know
which category you would like to fall, you know.
- Friends. - Yeah...
And benefits.
- We have had intimate moments.
We cuddle, we snuggle.
We hold hands.
I just think, right now, it's important for me
to put more energy and focus on my kids
and this three-year-long divorce journey.
Like, who gets divorced for three years?
You're honestly the only person that I've been
hanging out with, dating, getting to know.
- What?
Wait, what?
Wait, what did you say? [laughing]
- It's kinda prolonging.
The divorce still ain't finalized.
- Yes.
- I don't think you give girlfriend material.
I think you definitely give wife.
You are like an investment
that somebody else have already invested in.
So, in order for me to come full throttle
and make an investment,
this partner has to get out 'cause I-I don't share.
I'm a-I'm a boss.
I mean, it's not like I'm rushing it or somethin'.
Like, you know. - Yeah.
Blakk and I are very clear on where our friendship stands.
I appreciate your friendship, and I do love you.
- I love you, too. - Like, you are
one of the closest people to me.
- I'm literally your best friend.
- I do-- you're literally-literally--
and I value that.
Don't people say marry your friend?
You know, date your friend.
Like, we really are committed
to just creating a healthy friendship,
and that's all that matters.
- I'm always having a safe space to be there.
You know what I'm saying? - Aww, are you my friend?
- I'm gonna always be your friend.
- No matter what? Even if I get a man?
- What do you think I'm doing it to-- my health?

- I need you to be on my side.
- Okay, so, this is the house
you secretly bought.
- Watch the spiders.
- Looks like Anaconda.
Well, that's not a spider, is it?
No-- Oh, okay.
- I wanna give you a tour, so please open your mind.
- Okay, I'm gonna have an open mind.
This house... - Why you looking like that?
- It's just different from
how you usually do your houses,
you know. [sighs]
The tire.
The tire, who dumped that there?
I wouldn't go outside. Look at that spider.
You see the spider?
There's a spider in every room.
They-they own this house.
- I'm gonna conquer it. - Okay.
- This house is definitely an emotional purchase.
I lost my mom
and my properties last year.
It was devastating.
Sometimes it's not about the big gains.
It could be small gains.
I believe that this house is what the market wants.
It's single family. It's entry level.
And so, I wanted to use this property
to lick my wounds a bit.
So, we are set to close on Monday.
- So, are you gonna show Charles before you close?
Wait, wait, wait. Does he even know?
[chuckling]
- He knows that I have put a house under contract.
We're gonna flip this one house.
- Okay. - One house this time.
- The other four didn't get flipped.
- But I'm gonna take the lessons I learned.
- Good luck.
- Okay, so, he hasn't seen the house.
- No. - Did you see the house?
- I did.
There is a big part of me that feels like
Charles does not take my business seriously.
Right now, I have Fangie.
I do own my financial consulting company,
and we do still own real estate.
So, he wouldn't have went along with
me purchasing the home.
- Do you think this is actually about making money,
or is this you trying to prove something?
- Damn it, Ahmauri.
- 'Cause where did this house come from?
- With all the losses that we had in 2024,
I just feel like I can close that chapter
if I had one win.
I definitely feel like this house will,
you know, bring some sort of closure
so that I could have something to celebrate
with taking so many losses.
And the biggest loss of all,
losing my mom.
- It was good seeing you, pumpkin.
I love you.
- It just feels unfair that she's not here.
I'm sorry. Don't do it.
Let me just do this, real quick,
and I can fix all of that,
that happened in the past.
I'm slowly finding out that...
that there is no closure.
I'm gonna get this together.
- Okay.
- Coming up next...
- When I talked to you about the puddle,
you busted out and said, "A miscarriage?"
Why would you say that?
- Well, it was a safe space,
so let's just be clear on that.
- Well, it didn't feel like a safe space.

Hi, sister.

Thank you for coming. Hey, family.

Good to see y'all.

But green beard aside,
George Byram is not a leprechaun.

I'm a hugger. - Let's hug. Hug it out.
What's going on?
- I appreciate him connecting me to Maximillion Booker
because Maximillion has really helped me
with this rum deal.
And since I didn't have the help from Gerald,
I had to rely on Max.
Hey, everybody. - Hey.
- I wanted to bring all of you here today
because I want to move to the next steps.
As far as the line is concerned,
I-I think it would kinda cool to do
my own mold of my bum.
Should I show 'em? - That rump-- that bump.
[laughing]
- He's like, you're so unprofessional.
Hello!
I'm giving a new meaning to ass shots.
[laughing]
My peach rum is gonna be called...
Rum Bum.
Clever.
I love the Campeche, and I love the thought of it,
like, helping with your libido.
- Oh, wow. - Yeah.
Oh, it's like everybody in the room was like, "Ooh."
[laughing] - Yeah.
- It would be nice to do that but put my own flavor to it.
You know, I'm born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia,
and I'm what you would call a sweet peach.
But I don't think I saw any peaches
when I was in Grenada.
Oh, we would have to import those in.
- That might be a challenge.
- Okay, that's gonna be a challenge.
- Going back and forth, it sounds expensive.
- Finding out the peaches don't grow
on the island of Grenada at all threw a wrench in my plans.
Now, I gotta figure out how the hell
I'm gonna get peach flavoring in the drink.
I just want to make sure we can get through
all the red tape. Do we need an importer?
Like, do we have one already?
- And you're saying the bottles are already approved,
FDA approved, right?
- For yours, we're gonna have to send in the approvals,
and we're gonna have to start from the ground up.
It's a completely new product. - Got you. Got you.
Um, the bottling company that you use,
would they be able to do that, you think?
'Cause, you know, I'm doing this on my own,
not with my husband's money.
- But what price point did you wanna be on the shelf for?
And maybe we can move backwards. [sighs]
- Yeah, 'cause if I gotta pay $30 U.S. for-for you guys,
I'm not gonna make much of a profit.
I'm starting to kinda see why Gerald was like
this is too much 'cause, right now,
I am doubting myself,
but I'm still very passionate about this.
I think we have our work cut out for us, y'all.
- Yes. - I won't hold you any longer.
I appreciate y'all. - Yes, thank you.
- And I'm gonna talk to Maximillion a little bit
about what the splits will look like.
We can send you over email to tell you what we're thinking,
and then you can let us know what-what you feel.

Can we get, uh, two shots of Casa Azul?
- Okay, we're starting it up. Okay.
- We can turn it. It's date night, right?
- It's date night.
You ain't gettin' no more kids. [laughing]
- Me and Derrick do not have time to date
because having a lot of kids is hard, okay?
And business has had us so bogged down.
So, like, the fact that we get to date, again,
is actually really dope.
It's giving Pinky's prayer. I love that for me.
[laughing]
- I needed that orange. Whoo!
- If you had to go back and do it again,
would you marry me? - I would marry you again.
- You wouldn't marry me again? - I-I would marry you again.
- Oh, I was going to say. - No, no, I would.
- So, me and Derrick, we were married for a year
when we were about to call it quits,
and we drove all the way to the courthouse,
and I think he was like,
"You better not get out of that car."
So, I got back in the car, and we started praying,
and then we laughed and we kissed, and we went home.

Okay, let me get the corn,
the Brussels sprouts with no cheese,

- And let me do, uh, the garlic shrimp.
- Got you. Okay, I got you.
- People may say that we rushed into our relationship,
but it don't feel like that.
Me and Derrick got married in '23,
so that was three years into being together,
but I was pregnant all them times.
So, it's almost like dating after marriage,
and I feel like we need to cue the violins.
Like, that's my best friend, and I just love him so much.
The end.
This week, I get this crazy text saying,
like, you got three pending lawsuits,
and I have been dealing with this
for the last three years in silence.
As much as I want to move forward,
I cannot move forward. It's so difficult, right?
Like, and it's taxing. It is taxing.
Like, I don't-I don't want to keep dealing with this.
So, now--
- How do I take some of this away from you financially
and spiritually?
I wanna be always your main support system.
You know, you're so strong.
You battle with it alone, and then I find out later,
and I'm like, yo, I gotta get her out of this.
Like, what do I gotta do?
I would never turn my back on you, ever.
- I know you wouldn't, but I, um,
I ain't even gonna lie to you. I don't--
What I got going on is not your problem.
Making the decision to file for bankruptcy,
especially before telling my husband,
is incredibly difficult.
He's so used to me being the strong one.
Am I going to tell him? Yeah, I'm going to tell him,
but I'm just not ready to do it, right now.
We don't have these moments a lot.
And even though you don't feel like it sometimes,
you're really my best friend.
I love you, and I mean it. - I love-- I love you, too.
- And we're locked in, and that's a Pinky swear.
- I'm gonna give you this broke pinky
that I broke playing basketball.
- Okay, no, I don't want nothin' broke.
Give me the other one. - All right, good pinky.

- Hey, how you doin'? Welcome to Virgil's.
- Hello. Hello.
- Thank you, sir. - I need something.
I've had a long day.
I'm gonna try the yellow boy and then, um,
give her the red gyal, and I got a little mean lady
about to meet me. - Hi.
- I was about to order for you. - You were?
Okay, go ahead.
- I got the yellow boy, and I got you the red gyal.
How you doin'? - You look good.
- How are you? Thank you. You look beautiful.
- How are you feeling, though? - I'm good.
I feel-- I feel better.
- Well, I texted you and asked you how you was doing.
- I was mad at you. - What's wrong? What?
- Are you gonna listen to me, or you gonna be on your phone?
- Hold on, 'cause what is K mad about?
- When I came in Saturday-- - When-when I brought you
to get your nails done? - Mm-hmm.
- Yeah.
- When I talked to you about the puddle,
you busted out and said, "A miscarriage?"
Why would you say that?
- I didn't know nothin' was wrong wit' your butt.
- We had talked about it. We had talked about my surgery.
- Girl, when? You mentioned a surgery,
but I didn't know what kind of surgery.
You know what I'm saying? I didn't know that.
The only update about you was from Shamea.
- But even if it was, who talks about a miscarriage?
- Well, I've had several.
I have dealt with infertility issues.
I have also woken up in a puddle of blood,
had a miscarriage at the house by myself.
I mean, I didn't even expect you to the nail shop.
- And I'm coming-- I was so caught off guard.
I-- 'cause I was making this a safe space.
I wanna get-- you know? - Well, it was a safe space.
So, let's just be clear on that.
- Well, it didn't feel like a safe space.
I was so uncomfortable.
- The last thing in my mind for you to say, at that moment,
was that surgery that you've been dealing with
for eight-- for however long. - Yeah.
- You know, maybe I shouldn't have said that.
I'm sorry you took that to be insensitive.
It definitely wasn't my intention.
I think being anxious to find out
what was wrong with my friend, it came out,
but it was never a dig at her about miscarriage
because I represent the March of Dimes.
So, I would never come at anybody for that.
- I don't care if you have had the same issues in life as me.
The fact that you take somethin' as sensitive
as miscarriage
when you know I'm trying to have a baby--
I want a little girl so bad, Porsha.
- Yeah. Didn't you want twins, at one point?
- Honestly-- not no more. - No more.
- I can't have a-- but I want a little girl.
Your behavior was not appropriate.
You will never have to think
that I'm not gonna talk to you about it,
or even if I act out a certain way about somethin',
I'm gonna stand on it.
Like, in the South, we say the word "bitch."
I say, "Bimbo." I was so ----ing mad at you.
I was like-- - So, that was me
you was talking about online?
- Yeah, I said, "This bimbo all loud,"
and I said that. - Girl...
- I was so bothered.
- B-b-bimbo-- bimbos is loud.
It's just so country-ass of her.
We're gonna have to, like, reel this relationship back
and roll it back out how it should be done.
I'm a very genuine person.
Maybe the representation I had of you, and me,
and Kelli probably wasn't the best 'cause that was, like--
- No, it wasn't. I can't get in y'all business.
I don't ever want to say anything that I regret
'cause I'm a reformed crash out. - Me, too.
[laughing]
- So, it's best I sit, think, and say what it is.
- I commend you for today. - Mm-hmm.
- Because this is the start of how you really do
some sisterhood sh--. - Yeah.
- Let's talk.
Don't go and meet this girl, and I said, "She felt this way,"
and then this girl-- - But I did.
I did do that. I was pissed.
- I told you I want you to shade the table,
not on me-- not on me. Damn. [laughing]
- Porsha says she was coming to me
from a place of concern. That is absolute bullsh--.
Normally, with me, if you play me one time,
it's a wrap for you, and I'm done,
but I've decided to give her every benefit of a doubt
that I can find in every corner.
- I apologize, okay? - Thank you.
- I would never want you to feel like that.
- And I apologize for calling you a bimbo.
- Okay.
- I can't say I won't say it again.
Cheers. - Give me a hug, little bit.
