[Lateshia] Previously on "Belle Collective.
[overlapping greetings]
Tell me what tea.
They were saying, were you coming with Ced?
And I said, "They not together no more."
No, we're not together anymore, unfortunately.
-Well, she told the truth. -Yeah.
Are we single and ready to mingle?
I am single. I'm single again, yes.
I am not above apologizing, dang.
OK, we going -- we ain't going backwards.
-OK. -We -- we gonna go -- we gonna move --
we gonna try to move forward. -We gonna try to move forward.
OK -- I just want us to see what is it that we need to do,
because we got to bring this back around.
Well, what about...
if we all...
meet?
You're a manager, right?
Yeah, but she ain't gonna leave now.
-Go -- go manage some [bleep]. -What?
You need to go take a [bleep] seat now, bro.
Take -- take the finger out the hand.
Sit your bitch ass down some more.
-[indistinct arguing] -What you gonna do, bro?
[Lateshia] Be quiet.

Everything is good.
You got all the pamphlets in here.
You know, when you do a giveaway,
people, they come out.
I'm just hoping that we got enough.
I have always been an advocate for the community.
After my one-on-one conversation with Lateshia...
My peace offering, I guess, is I am having a Give Back
at Taste. -Yay!
And, you know, like, the way the economy is now,
like, there's just so many different families
that just can't make it, so I can do my part. -Mm-hmm, yeah.
So I definitely wanna invite you.
[Lateshia] Oh, thank you. Yes, for sure.
I'll be there.
I'm super excited about the event today.
People are literally gonna drive up.
We're gonna put boxes of food in their trunks
or the cars, along with a gallon of water,
like a drive-thru.
I met with Lateshia.
What?
-So -- -[Selena] So you took your husband's advice?
I took my husband's advice and I ended up meeting
with her. -OK, what happened?
Basically, she's -- she doesn't wanna fight with me anymore.
She's tired.
We have too many things going on,
and me and her are hindering you guys.
Like, I feel like being a grown woman is being able
to talk things out. -[Selena] Yes.
And, you know, just being able to...
-[Selena] Coexist. -...coexist.
Yes, because I actually invited her to the event.
-No, I don't see them. -I don't know how --
-OK, so... -They might be a little late.
...so when have you talked to Glen?
I ain't talked to Glen.
You haven't talked to him at all?
[Cliff] I haven't talked to Glen, period.
What are y'all gonna talk about?
You gonna ask him?
We gonna talk about the weather.
I haven't talked to Glen since
Hey, sisters, we got like 50 cars out here.
-[Selena] OK. -It's time to give back.
-It's time to give, OK. -It's time to give back.
-OK, you gonna knock me down shaking all that back here. -[Pam] Hey!
[Latrice speaks indistinctly]
This event is a big deal.
Hey, boo!
I have the Legacy Foundation. I have Walmart.
And I have the news station and our state representative.
[TV reporter] Talk about what we got going on here today.
So today we're doing a community Give Back,
because right now the economy is so fickled
and there's so many people that --
that's not able to afford the essentials.
I was once that child who parents did not have a lot.
So being in the position that I'm in now, like, I'm always
willing to help and give back.
I come from a small town where I never had a lot.
So I can all too well relate to not having enough food to eat.
So it is very important for me to get the word out
about food scarcity.
It's nothing to be ashamed about, because a lot of people
do go through this.
We have to highlight, also, the fact that we have
investors like Ms. Rogers.
When she called me about this event,
I had to get involved immediately.
And we have to support people like her.
She's the best of Jackson.
So it's just really honorable for her to do this
in this community. -All right, y'all, ready?
-Let's give back, y'all. -[indistinct cheering]
[Cliff] Let's all go down to your [indistinct].
Let's go all the way down.
[Latrice] Grab a box and take it to a car.
[Selena] A little faster.
-Hello, come on down. -Come on down.
-You're welcome. -You don't even have to get out the car.
-Uh-huh, thank you. -She done got that one per car.
Yeah, because there's so many.
-Yeah. -Yes.
But it's a good box.
-Hi. -There you go.
♪ Like that classic masterpiece, yeah ♪
♪ Money would be jealous, you know ♪
♪ Pop my booty ♪
-Keep it going around. -How you doing?
-Is your back door open? -You can pull up a little bit.
Hey, y'all. Hey.
[indistinct chatter]
I'm arriving at Latrice's Give Back,
and this is my first time being at Taste in forever.
I do feel weird.
I do feel a little awkward, but I'm showing up.
Well, thank you for coming, Ms. Pearson.
This is what we call this cordial.
-We're cordial. -Mm-hmm.
-This is really nice, though. -Thank you.
This is really, really nice.
I told Glen, so he's gonna come, but he'll be late.
Aw.
I told my husband that I invited you guys or whatever.
And, you know, he, "Well, if he come, you know,
I'mma talk to him." -Yeah.
I want Glen and Cliff to have a conversation
because they really -- they really had a friendship.
And I hope that Glen and Cliff can resolve issues.
I hadn't had a conversation with Glen ever since
he interrupted my photo shoot.
[indistinct yelling]
No, no, no.
Getting of the [bleep].
-[indistinct yelling] -[Lateshia] Glen, that's my manger.
-[bleep] -[indistinct yelling]
I did invite him to stop by Taste, and after the event
is over, he and I will go to dinner.
-Come on down, yep come on down. -Hello -- hi!
Hey, how y'all doing?
Come on down.
Once that car pull off, you just pull up
and get your box, OK? -How you doing?
How are you?
Is the back seat open?
We gonna drop it in and we gonna put it in the back.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah. Yeah.
My dad is doing much better.
Latrice has called every single day,
multiple times a day.
Trice has definitely been here for me.
And I am here for her today.
You have a great weekend. Bye, baby.
-Bye. -I think that's it.
-Tambra, [indistinct], that's it! -That's it.
-[cheering]
[Cliff] That's it.
[indistinct chatter]
This event went absolutely amazing.
I feel like it hit every goal that I was trying to achieve
when it comes to the community.
[Marie] Hey, ladies!
Look, we gonna gave the last --
We gonna gave the last turkey away.
[Marie] Listen Don't y'all do me.
-I'm coming to drop food off, not pickup food. -You ain't coming to get food?
Oh, my sweet grand boys had their first basketball game,
so I'm late.
But rather late than never, I'm here.
Lateshia, are you here at the Taste?
-[Lateshia] Here at the Taste. -[Tambra] It's all over girl.
What did I miss?
-Mm. -[Marie] What?
Well, great for y'all.
And this is an example of Tambra and I hate Kerri --
Kerri's not here? That's why you --
She texted me and said that she had to go to Atlanta for --
I forgot what it was for.
OK, so like I said, you stay out of
people's business. 'Cause people make up.
We told you, it's bigger than us.
-Yeah. -It's bigger than me --
it's bigger then what me and Latrice had going on.
It's for the Collective. We're gonna do something.
We can't -- we'll tell you guys later the details.
Me and Latrice gonna put something together.
But at the end of the day, we have to bring this back
and remember why we started.
So it's a really a real life-reset, and we're burying
our differences, so dress like it's a funeral.
What?
I done been to enough funerals in my life, and I am not trying
to go to another one here in the Collective.
Who are we burying?
I damn sure hope they not trying to bury me.
-Hi! -Mmm-mmm.
[smacking kisses]
I have to go. I gotta get back.
-[indistinct chatter] -Take care.
-[sighs] -Thank you.
-[Cliff] We appreciate y'all. -No, thank you.
Absolutely.
When you need us, you let us know.
-Thank you. -Bye, baby.
[Tambra] See y'all later.
-I love y'all. -[Cliff] Y'all be safe.
[Lateshia] Man, I haven't been in here in so long.
I -- I know. How long has it been?
-I mean, this was me and Glen's spot honey. -[squeals]
We ain't been out nowhere together since then.
-Oh, I mean. -Yes -- well, welcome back.
-Welcome back. -Girl, I said, "Whoo."
[Latrice] I'm glad you came today.
[Lateshia] Thank you for inviting me.
-I appreciate it. -What's up?
-Hey! -Hey!
Hey, how you doing?
-Hey, hey, hey. -I'm good.
-Hi, Glendale. -How you Trice -- feels weird, but...
-What up, what up? -What's up, man?
-You all right? -Yeah, I'm good, baby.
[Glen] All right.
Sorry, I'm late.
Here we are.
[Kerri] Coming up on "Belle Collective."
I want to know what's going on between you and Cedric?
-I'm not going back this time. -Are you for real?
You did that last time. You went right on back.
Why are you stuck, Teshia?
It's no -- there's no need for you to be stuck.
[Lateshia] Because I'm not thinking about you.
-Because you shouldn't have came. -[Glen] It's not me.
-Oh my God. -[Lateshia] I'm like, "Oh, my God."
You're thinking about your brand.
I have a huge opportunity coming down -- clowns.
I understand.
But you see how your mind immediately went
to what you love?
[Kerri] I'm not a rumor person.
But somebody had said something --
something about a baby and Mike.
2 -Ah. -Here we are.
-[Glen] Here we are. -You finally got here.
I mean, yeah.
I want them to talk one-on-one.
Oh, OK. We'll just step out.
Just like how me and Teshia talked one-on-one.
-OK. -Yeah.
So y'all had a conversation?
I'm sure y'all enjoy this moment.
Oh, well, you didn't tell him about the conversation?
To be honest, I'm looking forward to having
this conversation with Glen tonight.
I need Glen to understand that my brand is my brand,
and my marriage is my marriage.
But I'm also dreading it because I know how Glen can be
when it's time to have serious conversations.
[Glen] I've been wanting to have this conversation for a minute.
I just didn't know how to present it because I had a lot
of mixed emotions going on. I'm not gonna lie.
I looked up to you, and I still do.
The only thing I was really wanted from you was
you to be vocal, like you always are.
Like, you usually a very outspoken person.
And when that situation happened with Amanda,
you said, me and my wife
were trying to break up your marriage.
Do you blame Latrice and Cliff for this?
Um, to an extent.
Glendale.
That hurt me, you know what I'm saying?
-Yeah. -Yeah, we were tight.
Like, you called me unc, I [indistinct] you nephew.
-[Glen] All right. -But when you did that,
it took a lot from me.
Like I told why she didn't want me to talk to you, period.
I got to get some rest and sleep.
[Glen] I get it.
I'm not trying to cause any commotion.
I brought you guys something to drink.
What? That's nice.
-Let's switch drinks. -[laughing]
You can give it back. You can give it back.
Y'all trying to [bleep] me.
-Yeah. -Just want to make sure.
You know what I mean? Never can be too careful.
Now your husband talking about some, um, let's switch drinks.
Like, I done poison him.
-That's what he said? -Yes, girl I cannot with Glendale.
So what's the energy like with them?
-Well, they are laughing. -Oh, they laughing?
[Latrice] I can bet you anything.
They had two minutes of just serious conversation.
[Lateshia] Yeah.
[Latrice] And the rest was laughter, back to normal,
like nothing happened.
And you had to give him permission, like,
to even talk to Glen? -[Latrice] Yes, I did.
-You know, of course, that goes back to everything that went on. -[Lateshia] Yeah.
You know, so it's like, if me and Teshia
not talking, then...
[Lateshia] Neither can him, OK.
-Mm-hmm. -...you're not talking to Glen.
-Mm-hmm. -For what?
-What is that conversation gonna be? -Gonna be like.
Yeah, what are y'all talking about?
Yeah, so we can't talk about what they talking about.
-So just don't talk. -Exactly, so, no, don't talk at all.
-Yeah. -[laughing]
So, I need your honest opinion, like, for real, like,
about this meeting we're gonna have with the Collective.
Like, what do you think?
So, like, for me, I think trust needs to be built.
[Lateshia] OK.
Because I want me and you going in with, like,
the same page.
This event can be beneficial to the Collective because,
for one, it's bringing us all together to discuss
any issues and problems that we may have with one another.
I feel like if you put anything out on the table,
let's put it out there and get past it.
I'm way in Colombia.
Two thousand miles away. I get a crazy phone call.
-She going to hell off... -[Glen] Mm-hmm.
...about this [bleep] happening at that other...
-Selena and Mike party. -[indistinct yelling]
Shony, Shony, Shony, Shony!
-Hey, don't walk up on my wife, bro! -[indistinct yelling]
-We good. -I was pissed about that.
You pissed at me?
She said that you got all up in her face.
I don't know if it's true or not.
What I done, I protected my wife.
-[indistinct yelling] -[Glen] You can't do this.
T, you have a [bleep] brand.
Look at me. Calm down.
They were surrounding my wife, man.
I'm just out there making sure that she's -- she good.
You know what I mean?
I understand if you gotta protect your wife.
[Glen] Right.
As far as me getting in Latrice's face, no.
I never got on Latrice's face. I wouldn't do that.
I'm not that type of guy.
[Cliff] Me and Glen is on a better term now.
Glen knew I was a true friend to him.
I think he understand.
Glen got to take responsibility for
what Glen do and quit putting it on his friends.
He won't have no friends.
Lately, man, everywhere I show up, it's chaos.
-She had a -- a photo shoot... -Mm.
...and I popped up supporting, right?
And her manager got sideways with me,
and started talking crazy.
Me and him had words, and my wife, she didn't come
to my defense. -Is the manager gay?
Nah. I don't know.
He called me sexual chocolate.
I'm not worried about her working with him.
You need a picture, man? You can take it with you.
[indistinct]
Keep playing with me.
He did call me sexual chocolate. [bleep] was weird.
I've never been called sexual chocolate
in the middle of an argument.
Why would he call you sexual chocolate?
That's some of the weirdest [bleep] I've ever seen, Cliff.
I don't know.
Hell, no. My pants ain't tight.
[laughing]
[Lateshia] Coming up on "Belle Collective."
I'm so sorry that I want to elevate, I'm so sorry
that I don't bow down to your ass no more,
I'm so sorry for wanting to become what God wants me to be.

Amber is my bonus daughter.
She's been in my life since she was 11 months old.
-Hey. -Hi, Hope.
-How are you? -Oh.
-It's good to see you again. -[Hope] Good to see you.
Amber is home for the holidays.
She enjoys drawing and painting.
So Hope's studio is the perfect place to spend time
with Amber and catch up.
All right.
-[Hope] Y'all ready to get started? -Yes, ma'am.
Amber is a huge part of my life.
When Cedric and I split up, she continued to
come and visit. Talk to her often.
-So nothing changed. -So how's everything been?
So where do I start?
I want to know what's going on between
you and Cedric, Mr. Cedric. -Your father?
-[Amber] Not -- my father. -[Marie] I'm not talking to him.
I'm not dealing with him. I feel betrayed.
-Like, I didn't see it coming. -I did.
-You did? -Man, I thought it, man.
Look, it's a pattern with you and my dad.
He'll lure you in some type of way.
He'll get you back. And then y'all be back.
Y'all be together for a little cool minute -- you've got love.
I think my dad is a good father.
But I feel like y'all just better apart.
-Y'all need to be separated. -That's true.
I am not surprised, because when I left Cedric before,
Amber inspired me to do so.
She was like, "Mama Marie, like, you gotta leave my dad.
Like, you deserve so much better."
So I've heard those words before -- she's right.
We are better off apart.
He's not capable of loving me the way that I deserve.
-Why do you keep going back? -Because it's familiar.
I keep going back to what's familiar.
So I'm, you know, I'm -- I'm not going back this time.
Are you for real?
Because you said that last time.
You said that last time. You went right on back.
I know, Amber, I know. But I mean it this time.
I am not getting back with your father.
She's a straight shooter. You know, she don't sugarcoat.
So are you thinking about dating somebody else?
I'm outside. I'm ready for the next catch.
I'm ready for my person.
-You ready for the next catch? -I'm ready for my person.
Look, in this season of my life, I'm not putting my life on hold.
[Amber] Right.
I'm living my life unapologetically.
So are you talking to somebody right now?
Not yet. But I am on the dating apps.
On a dating app, you getting the leftovers.
You getting men --
Yeah, you getting the leftovers.
You getting the men that don't want to go outside
and meet a quality woman.
Go to the country club, go golfing,
go to charity events.
Like, that's where the high-quality men are, baby.
If you on a dating app, you just gonna meet a man
that's playing his video games and eating chips all day.
-I didn't look at it like that. -[Amber] Mm-hmm.
-So I'm getting people left over? -That's the leftovers.
That's what's left.
Amber, you know what? You're right.
Most men on there just got a divorce, or they could
potentially still be married. Hell, I don't know.
I need to come off the dating app.
Off of it. Throw that stuff away.
Go to the country club in Madison.
If you put on that red lipstick and put on that little bodysuit
or your little dress, oh, you gonna meet you a man.
-I promise you that. -My baby done school me.
Mm-hmm.

I'm meeting Glen at Zea Restaurant,
and even though we were at Taste together
at the community event, we did not drive together.
I'm super happy that him and Cliff had their, you know,
their little, private conversation,
but we still have things to talk about
and everything that transpired at my photo shoot.
♪ You gon' tell me that you love me ♪

-Thank you. -[host] Enjoy.
-Hi. -Hey.
How are you?
I'm happy that I'm having dinner with my wife.
But at the same time, I'm kind of dreading
what she's gonna say, especially after what happened
with her manager and I.
So let's just see where this goes.
I'm hoping for the best.
How you week been?
It's been -- it's been interesting.
Of course, coming off of the photo shoot.
You need to go take a [bleep] seat.
Take the finger out ya hand.
-[indistinct yelling] -Come on.
Sit your bitch ass down some.
Like, that was a whole lot. And...
You need to learn how to control your people.
I need to learn?
No, what I'm saying, speaking of that...
You need to fire him immediately.
Now you see why I said that it's important
to keep stuff separate. I will say this.
First was absolutely wrong.
Like that -- like, wrong for antagonizing you.
So I decided he gonna have to take a leave of absence.
Because regardless -- no, I'm being for real.
A leave of absence.
First been on a leave of absence, to me,
is a paid vacation because he's a manager.
He still get a percent and he ain't even working for it.
So he should be fired.
If anybody disrespected my wife like that,
they would have been fired immediately.
It seemed like everybody in your camp want to label me
the bad guy so bad.
They want me to be so [bleep] wrong.
Even Shante.
When I'm not the one that initiated anything,
nobody had my back. -And I know that.
Nobody defends Glen and everybody wonder why
I'm on the defense.
I'm not looking for you to have my back,
but a damn sure would have been nice for somebody to say,
"Damn, First, you wrong for that, bro."
-And I said that. -You should have put Shante in her [bleep] place.
Glen, I'm stuck.
You should have put First in --
Why are you stuck, Teshia?
There's no need for you to be stuck.
[Lateshia] Because I'm not thinking about you.
I'm not thinking about Shante. I'm thinking about First.
[Glen] You're thinking about your business.
[Lateshia] I'm like, "Oh my god."
You're thinking about your brand.
I have a huge -- a huge opportunity coming down
with a big brand manager. -[Glen] I understand.
And I'm like, oh Lord, I don't want people to think that
I'm not able -- I can't, because I got these damn clowns. -Right.
But you see how your mind immediately went to what you love?
-Because you shouldn't have came. -It's not me.
-Oh my God! -You shouldn't have came without talking to me.
Your manager shouldn't have said [bleep] to me.
He shouldn't have. He shouldn't have.
That's why I don't put you in positions like that.
-But you still want to pop up. -[Glen] All right, man.
-[Lateshia] He shouldn't have said anything to you. -OK.
Like, ain't nobody gonna disrespect you.
If that's the case, First would still be here with me.
You put that man on a paid vacation.
-That's not having my back. -Stop saying that.
You see how condescending you are?
That's why I can't have no conversation with you.
-[Glen] Right. That's what I'm the bad guy. -You wanna be the --
Glen, you were rough --
Glen, I'm so sorry that I didn't make my moment
about your asses.
I'm so sorry that I want to elevate.
I'm so sorry that I don't bow down to your ass no more.
I'm so sorry for wanting to become what God wants me to be.
I'm sorry. Here are your flowers.
Here's -- here's your -- what you want?
Some green beans?
You want the rest of my rotisserie?
I don't know what else you want from me.
All I ask you to do is be my husband.
[Selena] Coming up on "Belle Collective.'
Every time I open up my heart to you, what, the same person
that I'm out here trying to please is the same person
that's out here hurting me constantly.
You want to have your hand in it so that you can control me
and keep me under that thumb that you've always had me under.
2 I'm so sorry for wanting to become what God wants me to be.
I'm sorry.
Here are your flowers,
here's -- here's your -- what you want?
Some green beans?
You want the rest of my rotisserie?
I don't know what else you want from me.
Only thing I'm asking you to do is be my husband!
You see what I'm saying?
I'm so stunned to hear Teshia talk this way.
I've never seen her push back like this
in our whole marriage.
Not like this, not to this -- this degree.
Every time I open up my heart to you,
every time I put everything that I want to do second,
third, fourth, fifth, what, the same person
that I'm out here trying to please
is the same person that's out here hurting me constantly.
Something should click in your damn head.
This girl should have been divorce me three, four,
five, six, seven, eight times.
This girl should have been left my ass, but she's still here.
If the only thing she's asking me right now is to respect her,
the only thing she's asking me is, like, this girl
growing her brand.
You don't want to have your hand in it because you want
to help me and be an asset.
You want to have your hand in it so that you can
control me and keep me under that thumb
that you always had me under.
I am super proud of myself.
For the first time,
I am really setting these boundaries.
I am done being the woman, the wife who just rolls over
for her husband and do whatever he wants.
That has expired.
You got to respect my boundaries right now.
I'm not that girl anymore. Period.
She is gone.
I never want to see her again in my life.
I miss her dearly.
[Lateshia] I know you do, because that was comfort for you.
-It wasn't comfort. -[Lateshia] But it was misery for me.
It wasn't comfort. It was love.
Only thing I need you for, I don't need you to protect me
from my brand. I need you to protect my heart.
I feel like Teshia and I,
we're not on the same page anymore.
Hell, we ain't in the same book.
I know I could be headstrong, and I got to figure it out.
I got to come to realize that maybe that person gone,
and it's time for me to focus more on me.
I've held my family together for...
what, 25 years, 30 years? I don't see a [bleep] problem.
I am planning my future, and Glen, I would love for him
to get on board with me,
but if you're not going to be supportive...
you may just have to get left behind.
Just let me shoot my shot for myself one time.

[automated voice] Front door.
Did I hear a front door?
Oh, you way back here?
-What you doing back here? -Folding your clothes.
[Mike] Oh, I see what you doing. Boy, I'm so glad you did this.
Hey, honey.
Meeting up with Marie, she's talking about make sure
Mike do not keep that home as a bachelor pad.
His bachelor pad, his house, y'all gonna move in together,
he gonna get rid of that.
That's not good for him to keep his space.
Mike and I, we've been talking about moving in together in
a new home together, but Mike is trying to back track.
And he wants me to move into his house.
Cheers to being home.
I don't want to move into his house.
I want us to have something new and fresh, um, of our own.
I don't think that I could live here and feel like I'm at home.
I don't want it to be my forever home.
I want our forever home to be ours.
[Mike] Tell me what the deal is.
[Selena] You...
your ex was here.
This home holds so many memories of you two.
-Because we got -- I got the picture. -[Selena] You got the picture.
-Yeah. -[Selena] So we on the same page?
No, you need to start seeing eye-to-eye with me,
because all this stuff you ain't telling me. -Oh, I be telling you.
You ain't telling me about this house thing.
Mike and our communication is a lot better,
but it's still not where it needs to be.
Because he is clearly not hearing me.
Do I need to say it another way?
Like, Michael, open your ears, baby.
Still want to get married?
What they got to do with what we talking about?
[Selena] I'm just asking questions. I just wanted to make sure.
[Latrice] Coming up on "Belle Collective."
[Tambra] Like you said, "The Collective."
Look, I believe it's about the book as well.
And the chapters are always gonna be different.
[Lateshia] It is about the book.
Your book, to me, has always been the same.
If I have to fight through my hurt
and I still have to show up,
what makes y'all any different?

Teshia's gonna get a benediction.
-OK, so who we bet -- -Oh?
-Lord have mercy. -Hey, girl.
She came for the after party of the memorial.
-[indistinct chatter] -This the after party.
Today is the day of the funeral that I am
co-hosting with Latrice.
And today is all about getting the Belles together,
burying the old, and rebirthing
a new collective.
But Kerri, are you trying to entice the pastor?
Like, you want to get the offering.
[Latrice] Kerri, we gonna have to put you
in the background, girl. The pastor cannot see you.
She needs a little cloth over her.
[laughing]
Look, I'm trying to match y'all's vibe.
I'm trying to match y'all's sexy vibes.
Lateshia and Latrice asked us to show up for a funeral,
and Kerri came in here showing up
like she's going to the club.
I guess Kerri said, "Y'all ain't gonna bury me.
I'm coming to party."
So we just want to first say thank you ladies for coming.
This look amazing.
And we want to lead in love, good energy, good vibes, OK?
We're just here having an adult conversation.
-A real conversation. -[Lateshia] A real conversation.
That's it. So nothing else.
And any time someone feels --
what we're gonna do, ring the bell.
If you feel like, hey, going too far,
let's just have some type of...
-[bell ringing] -Hold on.
-[Lateshia] You know, we'll just ring the bell. -This my bell.
Well, where mine at?
And let's not over-talk each other and let's not talk
for a long time. -Short and sweet.
Yeah, short and sweet. Tambra, you have a hard item.
-How many minutes? -Girl...
I have to leave early.
This is my baby's very first program ever
and I have to be there.
The Belles are just going to have to understand.
Here it is, the obituary --
The Belle Collective was born from vision,
sisterhood, and ambition.
A platform created to spotlight women building businesses,
breaking barriers, and becoming their highest selves.
Over time, misalignment, mistrust, and silence crept in.
Transparency faded, and stories went untold.
All I have to think about is what the [bleep] she did to me.
I ain't forgot that [bleep].
Today, we lay to rest the old ways of performative
participation and caring what no longer serves The Collective.
A renewed Belle Collective rooted in trust, truth,
accountability, and purpose.
May the Belle Collective be reborn stronger,
clearer, and united.
I'm confident in the rebirth of the Collective.
And in order for it to work,
everybody will have to be committed.
Basically, today is for the rebuild, and how can
we move forward, and how can we start over.
We'll start with you, Tambra.
[Tambra] When we started out, it was a good time.
Right now, we're the hood. There's no sister in it.
That's just the truth. That's why we're here, right?
Because one thing all of us have in common,
you've heard me say that I feel like it wasn't a safe space.
I've heard you say it. I've heard Latrice say it.
I've heard Marie say it.
So I just want to know, are you willing
to be a little more transparent?
-[Tambra] I do talk more all day, every day to Latrice. -Mm-hmm.
[Tambra] I talk more to Selena.
So I am more transparent with them
as they have made me comfortable.
In other words, it's a two-way street.
When you've been hurt by other Belles, or when you feel like
the Belles do something to you,
it makes you protect your peace.
Because emotionally, my peace was a priority.
The only time that I actually shied away was when
I was pregnant.
I do feel like at that time, I was attacked when I was
in a vulnerable place.
At that time, I was fighting postpartum depression.
I did not want it, but I wanted to make sure
I showed up for everyone.
After my pregnancy, I heard from Latrice all the time.
Selena, she is another that always checked on me.
I actually did expect more support from some
of the Belles, especially the ones who are mothers,
no matter what we had going on.
I mean, you just having a baby, that's a very
vulnerable spot to be in. -Very.
But I guess my standpoint is, if I have to fight through my hurt
and I still have to show up, what makes y'all any different?
We keep having these restart, rebirth, fresh start.
Like, Tambra wants the prestige...
but she's not interested in really getting
to know us beyond...
surface-level.
Look, I believe it's about the book as well.
Like you said, the Collective.
The chapters, we make up the chapters.
And the chapters are always gonna be different.
I like the way you put that.
It is about the book, and I love that.
Your book, to me, has always been the same.
I feel bad about Tambra going through postpartum after
her baby, but I stand firm on my opinion.
Like, that's an example.
How are we supposed to know that?
So, if you want support...
honey, you got to show up
and tell us what's going on.
And that's OK.
If you wanna still be here, we gonna do it.
Let's adapt.
It's just crazy that they look at Tambra and feels like
she's -- she doesn't bring a lot because she does.
Tambra is the true definition of a Belle,
and she has every right to be here.
Yeah, we can have -- and that brings me to Selena.
So, Selena, what do you think?
Well, I understand when she said, like, she don't feel
comfortable because it's not a safe space for her.
And if we do what we're saying on this paper,
then we can make it a safe space for her to share more.
That's fair.
So, Tambra, in this moment,
do you still want to be a part of the Collective?
2 [Lateshia] So, Tambra, in this moment,
do you still want to be a part of the Collective?
[Tambra] I believe the Collective has purpose.
We all want to have a purpose.
You want to be a part of something that has a purpose.
That's in your relationships, business.
I can relate that to Marie. She always talks business.
Business, professional.
Everything has to have a purpose.
I definitely consider myself purpose-driven, for sure.
Family is very important to me.
And even Lateshia, she talks about protecting her peace.
Don't be mad when I protect mine.
Here, y'all, I'm sorry, like, can we just rip
the Band Aid off?
Like, y'all asking Tambra to step away,
because that's what it feels like to me,
and I'm not trying to put you on the spot,
but I feel like, is that what it is,
or is that not what it is? -No, not stepping away.
I'm asking Tambra to step up.
I think a lot of people are afraid to share
and be vulnerable because they are afraid that it could be
weaponized on them later. -OK, well, this is what I'm saying,
why the Collective started to begin with, right?
It was a vision.
If we can't feel safe in doing that, it's time to step away.
Don't be selfish.
If either one of us, if we're not comfortable
or willing to share life experiences
that we all can learn and grow from,
this group is not for you.
I really wish I could stay for this.
-[overlapping chatter] -[Tambra] My baby has her first program.
-They put the babies on first. -[Selena] First -- mm-hmm.
I do not feel bad about leaving.
London Simone comes first.
However, if we are really moving forward,
I'll make it up to the Belle's later.
OK, so you guys feel like Tambra shouldn't be
in the Collective because she's not as transparent
as the other Belle's, correct?
Because she's transparent with me.
We're not talking about personal relationships.
We're talking about the relationship
within the Collective.
Well, hell, let me kick you out, too,
because I don't feel like --
You get your ass on it. Wait a minute, don't do that.
Don't y'all start.
Well, I share everything.
Well, we still ain't heard about the breakup yet.
-I've been waiting. -[Marie] Kerri, look...
-It sure was. -...you listen.
-You want to stay out of my business. -Or what?
Like, you going to have to take baby steps -- really.
Do you sell it or do you don't sell it.
You know what? You really a big my fan.
You a fan of mine. You really are.
I'm a fan of all of y'all. I am.
-No, no, no, no, no. -I am a fan.
But that's OK. Since you my fan, here you go.
I'm a -- listen.
-Let it be known. -Dr. Marie Monroe to my biggest fan.
I'm a fan of everybody, baby. I'm a fan girl.
You my biggest fan. You my biggest fan, baby.
-You my biggest fan. -I said, girl, everybody.
-I love everybody. -Listen.
-She my biggest fan. -Listen.
Girl, you can go sit down somewhere trying to have
your moment off of me, OK?
Because you know one thing about me and you, we love to go
back and forth and we love to spar.
Baby, I have not done you a darn thing
but hype you up.
So in that regard, you're welcome.
Kerri, what you got going on down there on the Gulf Coast?
Oh, honey, I got a lot going on, girl.
These three restaurants killing me.
You know, Brittany and I think we just gonna wave
the magic wand like we do with all other stores,
and it's gonna be great, but it's not as great.
You know, we're thinking about selling.
-Yeah, just close it, yeah. -Mobile?
But sometimes you keep it open, you're gonna lose
even more. -That's true.
In business, sometimes you just have to know
when to walk away.
And that goes hand-in-hand with success.
But me, I'm a person that I'm like I have it --
You don't want to be a failure,
and that's not what it's about, because you're not a failure.
Every time I start thinking about my business,
it's like a weight gets put on my shoulders, and I may just
have to close the doors forever, but, you know,
it's good to be in a space with like-minded women.
Even though we have our differences,
they care about me, and it just feels good to be in a space
where I can feel love and support from these women.
And let's keep it here.
If we share, let's just be like, "Hey, this what's going
on with me, hell, right now?"
-Yes. -So is there anything else?
Because we are sisters.
I've heard some little pity mess about
Mike and Selena's relationship.
I would never say something to intentionally
or unintentionally hurt Selena, because she's such
a beautiful person.
But at the same time, I feel the pressure
to put everything out on the table.
So I hope Selena feels that she can answer honestly.
Typically, I would never bring something like this
to a table like this.
I'm not a rumor person.
And it -- it -- I ain't even gonna lie, but I feel,
I'm believing in what we wrote about in here
and transparency and authenticity.
-Yeah. -[Kerri] So...
So some of the guys were talking.
And you know how you have pillow talk, you know,
with your husband and stuff.
And Matt has shared with me that somebody had
said something...
that is probably just some rumor, girl.
People trying to attack and bring down.
But something about a baby and Mike.
Girl, this is so uncomfortable for me to even say this.
I'm sorry.
I'm not taking care of an outside baby, [indistinct].
It would be -- it would be over with if that was the case.
If Mike stepped out on me and fathered a child...
there's no wedding.
There's no us. It's over.
[Kerri] Next time on "Belle Collective."
I want to show loyalty.
So that's why I invited Shante here, because I feel like
we're gonna cut stuff off at the root.
She shares the information with me, said that you got
a whole boyfriend. -What's his name?
[laughing] Oh my God -- what?
Met up with the Collective so we can just,
I guess, squash everything.
And one of the things that came up was you have a baby
on the way.
I'm trying to see who I can trust.
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.
