[Kerri] Previously on "Belle Collective."
I'm concerned about my son.
Do you know how many mother-in-laws
would want a daughter-in-law like me?
You're living your life for four other people.
And sure I am, and living a good one.
You see -- you see what we have built, OK?
Your mama came for me.
You and I get along very well
until two things are brought up --
finances and Marlene.
Did you go see a divorce attorney
and you didn't let me know anything about it?
[Glen speaking]
Glen, you know what?
At this point, whatever.
Latrice is having surgery, right?
She don't take it seriously.
Yes, I'm worried for Latrice.
Her health is more important than anything in the world,
so let's just get this done.
She said she want a child.
A child, one.
No, I don't want a baby.
At the end of the day, what you gonna do?
-Not -- not have a baby? -I'm gonna get an operation.
OK, well, since you don't wanna have a baby
and you don't ever listen to the [bleep] I say...
-I listen. -...then [bleep] you.

-[Latrice] Sorry I'm late. -How are you -- it's OK.
After having to postpone the whole fibroid surgery
and just everything else that's been going on with me,
I have been prioritizing my health even more.
So today I'm trying something new with the sound bath
to tap into my mental and spiritual side.

-Hi! -Hi.
[Lateshia] Oh, y'all got your shoes off?
[Maya] Yeah, so you can just put them beside your mat.
[Lateshia] OK, thank you.
I don't really know what a sound bath is,
but Latrice said that it soothes the soul,
and I need some soothing.
I'm still reeling from Glen going to see a divorce attorney
without telling me, especially finding out the way I did
in front of the Collective.
I wanna ask you about Glen.
Mike told me about a divorce lawyer.
So a sound bath right now is exactly what I need.
Everybody take a big deep breath.
Breathe in.
Exhale.
Let it out.
So we're just gonna continue breathing here on our own.
We're gonna breathe in through the nose,
out through the nose.
On those inhales, I want you to think of breathing in peace,
love, positivity, all good things.
Mm, Cliff is gonna let me have a baby.
Mm.
I get everything I want.
[bowls drone ethereally]
I'm going to affirm financial independency.
[exhales]
I need for Glen to sign this post-nup.
[Maya] Thank y'all so much for allowing me
to hold space for you.
Hope you can lower your forehead to your palms.
-Namaste. -[Latrice] Namaste.
Thank y'all so much.
I will say, I feel much better now than I did walking in.
Thank you. I feel relaxed.
OK, well, 'cause we're gonna continue to relax, honey,
'cause I don't feel like getting up yet. -[Lateshia] Yeah.
It feels really good to have this opportunity to spend time
with Latrice and work on building our friendship back.
Well, so, how you been? What's up?
-Girl, I've been peaceful. -Mm-hmm.
Look, I'm trying to cook at home.
-I'm getting so much better. -Oh, from the health scare?
Yeah, just from the health scare, trying to eat healthier
and I wanna control what goes into my body.
Oh, that is smart.
All seriousness, how is everything with you?
Girl, it's a lot.
I don't know what the divorce stuff came from with Selena.
I don't -- I don't know any of that.
I must say that I am still floored
that Selena exposed my marriage, put it out there on blast
in front of the Collective, but she owned it,
she stood in it, she apologized, and she made it right.
Don't think we was trying to be messy,
'cause that's not the case. -Mm-hmm.
-It was not malicious whatsoever. -Mm-hmm.
I don't think anybody in the Collective wanna
see you and Glen get a divorce or anything like that.
Glen has been out of town since I found out
about these divorce rumors.
So, when he gets back in town,
it's for sure time to have a one-on-one,
and let's lay everything out on the table.
My truth really is, I did go see a financial advisor.
-Mm-hmm. -I'm not gonna lie, re --
not talking about a post-nup,
only because I hadn't seen this type of funds on my own.
-It -- it's always been with Glen. -[Latrice] Yeah.
So now I'm getting my own coin, steady coins.
-[Lateshia] My coin's flowing. -I love that.
I have worked really, really, really, really hard for this,
but I do know should something happen... -Mm-hmm.
-...he gonna get petty just to be petty. -[Latrice] Yes.
-Glen want his half. -His, and yeah, all of this.
I understand Lateshia.
Glendale, he's so unpredictable, so you should wanna protect
yourself from someone who is like that.
[Lateshia] At our double-date, you spoke about having a baby.
-How's that going? -That's the thing.
Like, we're going back-and-forth,
and I'm telling him, like, you my husband,
if I tell you I want a baby, then that's what it is, like...
'Cause he was begging you for one.
Yes, on top of that, I'm having to have
the surgery for my fibroids.
We still have so much going on within Taste, and I keep
pushing the surgery out because if I do have the surgery
and I'm down for a weeks at a time, like,
how's the business going to function? -Mm-hmm.
I don't know -- do you think I need to talk to Cliff
and you talk to Glen, or...?
I mean, I would be open to it, because I feel like he'll talk
to somebody else
before he actually comes to me... -Mm-hmm.
...as his wife and tell me actually the real.
I think we need to do a swap. Let's do a swap.
I mean, he begged you for a damn baby for years.
Y'all went through that, so now what you mean you don't
wanna have a baby? -What do you mean?
Like, baby, little Cliffarella would...
I really think that this plan is going to work.
Y'all know now, when it comes to the husbands,
we got a little past.
You gotta step up and be the wife Glen wants.
That [bleep] 15-inch [bleep]
don't need to be around a married woman.
That's insecurity to me.
I'm really hoping that Cliff will be open-minded to hearing
what I have to say, considering that he always
has an opinion.
I'm definitely down for the swap.
What's the worst that can happen?
I have tried to get through to my husband for months now.
You don't comprehend the extent of everything that I do.
I pray and hope that Lateshia can move the needle
when it comes to my husband doing more work at Taste.
-[Lateshia] Well, let's do it then. -Let's do it.
We're about to swap the husbands.
-To the husband swap. -Ooh, good luck, baby.
-Good luck. -[Latrice] Good luck.

Today I decided to meet my mother.
We've got a property out in a small town
called Greensburg, Louisiana, almost 400 acres of land.
The property was in my father's family for a long time
and passed down through generations.
My father passed away during COVID in 2020.
At that point, the property
transitioned over into my mother's name.
-Ma, what you doing? -Oh, what a surprise!
[chuckles] Surprise.
-What you out here working on? -What brings you here?
-You -- you brought me here. -Oh, really?
-Mm-hmm. -When I do that?
[chuckles] 1982.
After listening to Kerri about the situation that happened
between her and my mom,
I knew it was important to sit down with my mother
and then talk to her about what happened.
Marlene was up here on this whole tirade of,
"Kerri, you're a bad mom, you're a bad wife.
"Why do you work so much?
Why are you not home with the kids?"
I'm hoping that I can get some more clarity
why my mom feels the way she does
about my relationship with my wife.
I went to your house the other day.
-[Matt] I heard. -You did?
-[Matt] Yeah. -Your wife's got a big mouth.
-[chuckles] -I wanted to talk to you, and it was about, um, here.
Look at this place.
And I've been under the impression
y'all were coming out here.
How many people you know have 400 acres of land, Matt?
Monaco is 400, I think, 23 acres.
It's a country. Now you got 400.
So you trying to turn this into Monaco?
-What -- what you doing? -Hey, your mama can make stuff work.
Obviously, you know, I've got a lot going on.
It takes a lot of time and resources to get out here.
Since my dad passed in 2020,
my mom seems to be leaning on me more.
I get a call probably two to three times a week saying,
"Hey, Matt, you need to get
out to the property and check things out."
It's kind of put me in a very tough situation.
Kerri's been stressed. She's got a lot on her plate.
Well, if she listened to people like me,
y'all wouldn't be as stressed.
She is not tamed. It's time for you to tame her.
My mom feels like Kerri needs to be home more.
That would allow me to take on a role, um, with the land.
However, you know, Kerri has a ton of things going on.
So, the idea of her just being home all the time,
it just doesn't work for her.
And it probably won't work for us.
You and Kerri put me in a -- in a very awkward position.
'Cause I still, at the end of the day,
I gotta go home to Kerri, my wife, right?
I live with her. And you're my mother.
I think we have to figure out a way
to get y'all back on the same page.
'Cause at the end of the day, that is your daughter-in-law.
She's not gonna listen to me.
So maybe we all need to sit down
and talk about the inheritance.
The reality is my mom's not gonna be here forever.
And at that point, the property will then be
passed down to my siblings and I.
I got my wife on one hand. I got my mom on the other hand.
Tension between the two of them is weighing me down.
And if I don't get them on the same page,
I know it's only gonna get worse.
[Marlene] Maybe I will mentor her.
Getting it straight from the horse's mouth.
-And I'm the horse. -You're the horse?
Yep. I'm the horse.
And Kerri better learn how to ride.
-[horse neighing] -[Matt chuckles]
[Latrice] Coming up on "Belle Collective."
I did have a conversation with Latrice.
Well, she not having a surgery because she don't wanna
let go of Taste because this what she running. -I told her.
She's addicted -- like a drug. She got to be here.
I'm not trying to [bleep] argue with you.
But at the same time, Glen, you --
[Glen] I'm not arguing with you, man.
Well, what you wanna do?
We could divorce, Teshia. I'm fine.
I feel like I'm in the middle of a cat-fight.
-Me too. -No, you're not.
I feel like you should stand up and just --
-[Matt speaks indistinctly] -This a lion right here, baby, I'm a big cat.
Something's really wrong with you.
Wait now, ain't nothing wrong with my daughter now.
So you're taking it personal?
[Eleanor] Yeah, I am, 'cause it ain't nothing --
OK, let's straighten this out.

Today, I'm pulling up on Cliff at Taste
because a part of my agreement with Latrice is that
we will meet up with each other's husbands.
It's only fair that I do to him what he did to me
when he popped up at my office.
What do I owe this pleasure unannounced?
No, I've just been talking to Glen.
He said, "You've been work related."
so I said, "I'll go back and talk to your wife."
-So Glen sent you? -Yeah.
So right now, I'm here,
and I hope to talk some sense into Cliff.
-[Cliff] What you doing here? -Uh, listen, you got a minute?
-Let me talk to you. -[Cliff] Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Come over here.
I know you surprised to see me.
-Real surprised. -Very surprised.
Cutting trees, I've been doing that
for over 30-something years. But this was a surprise.
[Lateshia] I did have a conversation with Latrice.
-Right. -She did share with me some concerns
about what's going on and how she feels.
And I actually shared some stuff with her too as well.
But I was like, "You know what? Maybe we should switch up."
She go talk to Glen, I come talk to you.
Because sometimes a different perspective,
y'all receive it better. You know what I'm saying?
[Cliff] Swapping for what?
And that's the biggest problem.
One Belle for another Belle.
How you trying to talk about my marriage
when I look at your marriage in shambles all the time?
I'm like, "What the hell?"
What's going on with Glen?
I know I heard some pillow talk.
They said it was a divorce rumor that Glen was going
to a lawyer and all this. -Yeah, I heard about that, too.
My financial advisor, she advised me
about a post-nuptial.
A post-nup is anything you make in the future, [indistinct].
-In the future. -I don't know.
'Cause we didn't have [bleep] in the beginning.
We need a post-nuptial,
on what I have going on right now.
I got a talk show coming down the pipeline.
-Yeah. -[Lateshia] It's just to protect this
and protect everything that I'm building.
Glen has never asked me for a dime.
-I -- I know he ain't. -But I know if should something happen,
y'all get sassy and petty.
And he'll just do stuff to make me mad.
I ain't never did that. I never get sassy.
Cliff, you the creator of sassy-petty.
[bleep] -- how am I the creator of sassy and petty?
And you already done made the [bleep].
You the creator, man!
I feel like Cliff is misunderstanding the entire
reason that I want a post-nup.
He still has Glen's best interest at heart and not mine.
So, ain't no need for me to keep talking to him,
honey, 'cause it's falling on deaf ears.
-I did have a conversation with Latrice. -Right.
And we talked about, like, different stuff,
like we -- like we used to do.
-Fibroids, that's a real thing. -Right.
She did talk about the fibroids.
-And she gotta have another surgery. -Right.
So, my thing is, well, why are you not having a surgery?
Well, she's not having a surgery because she don't
wanna let go of Taste because this is what she's running. -I told her.
She's scared it's not gonna be ran properly.
So, we gotta make sure the person who's keeping
the doors open, that she is healthy.
-She's together. She's taken care of. -It's gonna be me.
-I keep the doors open. -No, you do not.
You cut the trees -- now, this is cute, I like all this.
Now, this is what you're supposed to do...
How she know? She ain't there.
I know what I do.
I'm the one who built it from the ground up,
not just Latrice.
It take both to keep the door open.
She just a boss, and she want to make sure
that everything runs properly.
But you got to be a boss in your life, too.
You got to take care of your temple first,
so that she got to understand.
Well, she wanna take care of that.
-[Cliff] Alright. -But she's scared to leave.
'Cause clearly, she don't have
confidence in you or the [indistinct]. -She hard-headed.
If you can step up and just do what you need to do and be her,
she would love that.
Latrice worry about a lot of stuff.
I told her she ain't got to worry about the business part.
I can handle Taste.
And I'm gonna prove to her everything be done right.
After talking to her, I think she really wants
to have a baby.
-Yeah... -But Cliff, you was just down her throat,
not even a couple years ago, wanting a baby.
Well, that was two years ago.
She should have just did it then
while I was still in the mood.
That's your wife now, and she want a baby.
My main focus is...
on her body and health. -Mm-hmm.
We got to get her healthy so she can have a child.
We get the surgery, and the doctor
give her a clear bill of health.
And then we talk about the baby.
You got to figure out, how can I make my wife
comfortable enough to leave the business in my hands,
and then she'll say, "I'm going to have a surgery."
And just show her, "Babe, I got this."
-I got it -- I got this. -Show her that you that guy.
And if you don't Cliff, we're gonna have a problem.
I'm willing to put my pride aside for my wife's health.
So I'm gonna do this for her,
show my wife that I can step up to the plate.
I'm going hard for my wife so she -- she can trust me.
-Thank you, you got me? -Yeah.
We locked?
-You -- you hear me? OK. -I got you.
Next time, text me before you pop up.
I might need a drink before you come.
-No. -You be putting pressure on me.
-I don't -- -No, you put pressure on yourself.
[Lateshia] Coming up on "Belle Collective."
Thank you because I feel like I was owed an apology
for a lot of stuff.
-I owe you an apology? -Yes.

Now that Lateshia fulfilled her side of the husband swap,
now it's my turn to step up and check in with Glen.
[phone ringing]
-[Glen] Somebody dead? -No, nobody died.
But listen, so, you know, of course, me and Teshia wanted
to do this whole husband swap
but your ass stay on the road,
so I can't pop up on you, OK?
I have not had a one-on-one conversation with Glendale
in probably a year or so.
I hate that I couldn't meet with Glendale in person,
but I'm excited about this call.
Me and your wife, we went,
we're good, me and Lateshia we're good, actually.
Y'all good today.
Tomorrow...
Oh! That's in the past.
We're moving forward. And part of moving forward --
I apologize, I apologize. You're right.
Thank you, because I feel like I was owed an apology
for a lot of stuff.
-I owe you an apology? -[Latrice] Yes.
I've seen Glendale several times in group settings,
but I honestly feel like he definitely owes me
an apology for stepping at me at Selena's birthday party.
Who have I talked about?
[overlapping arguing]
Shorty! Shorty!
Hey, don't walk up on my wife, bro.
And now that I have Glendale one-on-one, I definitely need
to express to him exactly how that made me feel
and how this can never happen again.
I hear you saying that you feel like you're owed an apology.
And I'm not gonna lie, I feel the same way.
It was never an apology given to me for, you know,
that drama that went on at the pool party.
Have you ever been attracted to someone in the group?
-No. -He a liar.
What?
But because that everyone else is trying to move forward,
I have no choice but to also move forward as well.
So let's see what's going on.
I stand on everything I do, so you know what I mean?
I apologize if I made you feel any type of way.
If I was wrong, I do apologize.
I apologize if I made you feel a certain type of way,
but at the end of the day, life is too short.
I agree, especially with your health,
with your health scare.
Like, I was genuinely concerned.
I was like, "What?"
We do look at y'all like family [indistinct],
and I know both sides for sure.
Look, you feel big brother, but I heard you been
over there popping your [bleep].
And doing some extra, extra [bleep] OK.
-What, me? -[Latrice] Me and Lat -- yeah.
So first is this whole post-nup thing
that she was telling me about.
We hearing that you're going to talk
to a [bleep] divorce lawyer.
-I went and talked to an attorney. -[Latrice] OK.
The reason I went and talked to an attorney
is to get a better understanding of this post-nup.
You could have went to Google and saw what a post-nup was.
Nah, I needed to hear this from a lawyer.
I needed for everything to be broke down.
And I also want to see -- so I'm like,
"OK, she wants to protect her assets and [bleep],
let me protect mine."
So did you possibly mention divorce?
Yes, I did ask the lawyer what would it look like
if we got divorced. -Mm.
Like, as far as assets and everything that I have.
Like, my 401K, my mutual funds, my whole life insurance.
You know what I mean?
I wanted to know, you know, how do I protect that?
Because we all know, I've been working offshore forever, so...
Regardless, if you put in 100% and still, you know,
you bust it down the middle, which she is entitled to,
because, hell, she's been there with you
since y'all been in diapers.
Do you think Lateshia would divorce you?
Oh, most definitely.
Because she's in a stage of elevate.
And anything that she feel like is dead weight,
I do feel like she'll cut it.
That's the thing, it's not about the assets.
It's not about the money. It was the disrespect.
It was the feeling of like, "How dare you?
You act like I'm gonna come for your money?"
Everybody that knows me knows I'm petty as hell
when my feelings hurt, right? -Yes, very.
I feel like you should just give her that.
I mean, it's not like she's trying to put everything
in a post-nup, but just give her a foundation to stand on.
This is really her first time coming into herself.
You have been great being there, supportive husband,
but I feel like it's time for Teshia
to spread her wings just a little.
Speaking with Latrice, she giving me another
perspective to look at it from.
It's a conversation that Lateshia and I should have.
We should have had before she even went and seen
or talked to someone about a post-nup.
But it's a discussion that we have to have.
The only thing I want from Teshia is the original heart
before I broke it.
Do you think you're gonna get that original heart back?
Until God take my last breath,
I'm gonna forever fight for that.

OK, got a little barbecue vibe.
Matt and I are going to lunch to hopefully unpack
the little meet-and-greet that he had with his mom up in Greensburg.
I really wanna hear what went down,
because I'm sure my name was in everybody's mouth.
I thought it was supposed to be hot today -- boy.
Man, you on the blood thinners or something?
-Why you so cold? -[Matt] You stop.
-You gonna need one, just saying. -[Kerri] No, I'm fine.
The way you got my nerves bad,
I'm trying to hear about what you and your --
How I got your nerves bad?
Matt, my nerves been bad since you went up,
up, up, up North Louisiana with your mama.
North Louisiana?
-That's Shreveport, Monroe. -[Kerri] Well, whatever.
-South Louisiana. -Central.
-I thought you were a real. -South Central, Matt.
Yeah, that's about right.
-[Kerri] South Central. -South Central, Louisiana.
[Kerri] The place where I ain't trying to go to.
So what went down?
I already know Marlene probably showed her behind.
My mom is very outspoken. You're very outspoken.
Matt, but my outspoken, I got something to speak about.
-She ain't talking about nothing. -But just --
but just let me finish. -[Kerri] OK.
But that's one of the problems right there --
you talk too loud and too much. -I'm bringing something to you.
I bring something to Marlene -- Marlene --
Ker, if you stop ta -- if you stop talking so much,
can you do that for a change?
-I shall oblige you. -So --
-Your wish is my command. -Look, you can't do it for two seconds.
That's what your mama want me to do.
-Your wish is my command. -[Matt] For three seconds.
-For three seconds. -[Kerri] Yes, Matt, your wish is my command.
-That's what she want me to do. -[Matt] That's -- no!
And I ain't never been no wish-is-your-command type of girl.
Marlene is speaking based upon her reality.
She is the your-wish-is-my-command type of woman.
And that's cool.
I got a lot more on my plate than she had.
Matt seems to be veering to Marlene's side of things.
And it's annoying.
My mom is upset.
Because the property is dear to her, right?
She's passionate about it.
She feels like I need to take on a bigger role.
And I agree with her. Now, do I have the time?
-But that tells me -- -I don't necessarily have
the time to take on a lot right now.
-That right there is what tells me... -[Matt] But I don't
fault y'all for that. -...that y'all have a disconnect
and your mama don't even know what's going on
with her own children. -It ain't a disconnect.
Because if she knew -- my mama don't come to me
with outside mess.
My mama and daddy would never come to me, "Hey, let's do
"a pipe dream and go spend hundreds of thousands
"of dollars on property that's 200 miles away from us
"and take a gamble on something
that doesn't even make sense." -[Matt] Yeah, she's not talking about that.
-She's talking about keeping the property up. -[Kerri] Matt. Matt.

Here come my mother-in-law

Lady, what are you talking about?
Like, does not compute.
You two are alike in some ways where you both stubborn,
but your ideals about being a wife and a mother
are a little bit different, right?
And my mom, she doesn't necessarily understand that.
[Kerri] And that's what I have to tell Marlene.
You don't even know nobody like me.
Like, I'm a one-of-one, see --
You are one-of-one, but she a one-of-one too,
because she's a very peculiar person.
But she's not, she's just regular.
She's just an everyday average lady.
First of all, what is it with women where you feel like
you have to compete with each other?
I'm not comp -- that's my point.

we don't see eye-to-eye. And this is very disrespectful.
Kerri is definitely crossing the line.
I think it would be in my wife's best interest
if she started showing my mom more respect.
There's always been division between you and my mom
because I just don't think you've ever really
given her as much respect as you could.
Even when you can disagree with a person.
That doesn't mean you have to like a person all the time.
It's a respect that you give that person.
[Kerri] You're right.
And I -- and I think you've always had an issue with that.
I feel that for what I've experienced
and from what I've received from Marlene over the years,
I have forgiven a lot and gone above-and-beyond
to keep things copacetic.
As y'all can see, my mother-in-law
is a pretty eccentric person.
And I love my mother-in-law, but the lady is crazy.
Matt knows what it is to deal with Marlene,
because I'm-a-gon' say it,
I'm a little bit of Marlene-light, OK?
But I'm light. She dark.
Can we take on a project with Marlene right now?
-Can we afford to do anything like that? -[Matt] It's not a project.
-Do we have the time or the money? -It's not a project.
She didn't call and ask for your help.
She called and asked for my help, her son.
She wants me to get more involved in taking care
of the property that's gonna be passed down to me
and my kids one day. -[Kerri] That's cool.
Have I ever told you don't go to Greensburg?
-Nope. -Thank you.
And what I'm not about to do is catch not one of the strays
of the whole situation of Matt not wanting to go to Greensburg.
Baby, that ain't on me. That's on y'all.
Y'all probably need to come together
and work on whatever lies beneath.
Get that figured out.
But baby, leave me the hell up out of it.
My mama ain't going nowhere.
And you ain't going nowhere.
-Cool! -[Matt] Right?
I think you two just gotta sit down
and make things right.
Like, just get on the same page.
[Kerri] I'll do it.
If it's gonna help our marriage and our relationship,
I have no problem. -Thank you.
Tell her, "Don't come with that mess."
And tell her, "Do not come with a drink in her hand."
I can't control that.
-See? -I mean.
[Kerri] Coming up on "Belle Collective."
I was talking to her about Matt, and I needed him to be
showing up sometimes in Greensburg.
You're trying to manipulate him, Marlene.
You don't even know what we have going on in our life.
-I don't? -My mom and daddy do.
That's why they don't come with the mess.

Glen is finally back from his work trip
and although I've had time to cool down,
we haven't had a chance to just really sit down face-to-face
because Joshua's been there.
I know Glen and Latrice were able to talk about
him visiting the divorce attorney,
but this has been weighing on me.
It has been weighing in my spirit.
So Glen decided to bring me to the park where we had
the recommitment ceremony.
I am fully committed.
I'm recommitted to what we're doing.
We was in such a great space before this situation happened.
-[exhales] This is peaceful. -[Glen] Yeah.
[Lateshia] I remember we used to come out here all the time.
Even, like, before Josh,
like this... -Way before Josh.
[Lateshia] We were 18, 19. It's just been our place.
-Yeah. -It's just crazy.
Not even, like, a year ago,
we were here doing a recommitment.
Yeah.
[Lateshia] It was just the first time ever, really, that I've ever
been out here and didn't feel like at peace, during
the recommitment ceremony. -I could tell.
-[Lateshia] Yeah. -I didn't even think you were going to come.
-I didn't want to come. -Why did you come?
I didn't want to hurt you.
I didn't want you to look, like, crazy or anything.
I did another move to make you happy, and I didn't like
how that made me feel. -Hmm.
Twelve months of me fighting for my life, for my marriage.
And she's undecided if she want it or not.
I am heartbroken right now, because I'm looking at it as
a fresh start and you don't even want to be here.
It got me in a weird place with us.
We can't keep circling the drain.
-We got to resolve this, like adults. -Mm-hmm.
-Because our son is becoming a preteen. -Mm-hmm.
He's able to pick up on these things.
When we in public or at the house,
I go to lean in and kiss you, you showing me
some kind of cold shoulder, none of that.
If you with me, you with me.
If you not, let me know.
I just want to ask you one thing, though.
Should I be expecting, like, divorce papers?
Why -- why you say that?
Well, our relationship became, like, the topic for giggles.
[Glen] I had a conversation with my friend.
I didn't have the conversation with the Belles.
Lateshia acting all surprised and, like, she's embarrassed
that I went and talked to a lawyer,
why you didn't feel that way when you went and talked
to a financial advisor?
I'm not going to feel bad for talking to my friend
about situations that's going on in my life like a damn post-nup.
I'm human -- this post-nup is heavy business,
and it's messing with my role as a provider.
There's no way in hell you thought that you could come
to me and ask me to sign a post-nup, and I'd be like,
"Yeah, sure, bring it here, let me..."
-[Glen] You knew that was going to happen. -No.
We've never had any type of issue when it come to assets,
because what's yours is mine, what's mine is yours,
and we've always moved like that.
So when you come hit me with this,
it made me feel like you're protecting your assets
because you're getting ready to separate.
You're getting ready to move on.
It's not that, it's that at the end of the day,
I want to protect my business part of things.
-I want to protect our marriage. -[Lateshia] I have business deals with people.
-That's not this, but that's not it. -[Glen] I'm not worried about
your business, and I'm not trying to cut you off.
I don't give a damn if we broke.
-Right. -I don't give a damn if we filthy rich.
-[Lateshia] Mm-hmm. -As long as I'm with you, I'm cool.
So you're cool with signing it?
-No, I'm not signing a post-nup. -[Lateshia] Oh, mm-hmm.
[Glen] I'm not. I'm not doing that.
If we signing that, we'll sign a divorce too.
-Mm. -That's what a post-nup is for.
Hearing Glen say that he would rather get a divorce
than sign the post-nuptial, it really hurt.
I feel like Glen's hesitation has something to do with him
still having a hard time,
and he's struggling with my elevation.
That's just what it is.
So anything to be rebellious against me,
he's going to do it.
The main problem with us is, Glen, is that you spoiled.
-[Lateshia] You spoiled -- yes, you are. -Are you serious?
You are. You're going to have to say,
"You know what, my wife right now, she's still my wife,
but she's still not that type of kind of wife."
She got a business. She got things going.
For once in her life, she woke up and said,
"Oh my god, I see the rainbow."
Cheer me on like I've always tried to cheer you on,
and always have cheered you on
in anything that you wanted to do.
I don't have a problem with your elevation, Teshia.
I have a problem not being a priority.
[Lateshia] ]What does that look like? You can't say.
-How did it used to look? -I can't ever go back to that.
-You said I was spoiled, so go back to that [bleep]. -[Lateshia] I can't -- I don't
even have that capacity. I can't go back to that.
But I want to be your wife as an adult.
-That's not my wife. -[Lateshia] As an adult.
When you was doing your rapping stuff, Glen,
whatever I needed to do... -We was kids without a kid, then.
...and whatever I needed to sacrifice
for you and your dreams, I did that.
I'm just asking now to give me the same thing.
-Have I not? -No!
If you can't get on board with my evolution,
then what are we doing here?
I'm looking forward, not backwards.
It's my fault because I bowed down.
I was there for you. I was a good-ass wife.
I kissed your ass. I catered to you.
I did everything.
And now for once, I'm doing something for myself,
and it's a problem, that's what irritates me with you. -Teshia, you can't --
-Listen... -If I was you
and you was me You would be pissed off too,
like, "Damn, T."
Alright, baby. We good.
Because you can't listen.
It's always what you want to hear.
No, man, because you sit here and act like you ain't confused
the [bleep] out of me when I ain't done nothing.
[Lateshia] I'm always [bleep] confused when you did do something.
-[Glen] Alright, cool. -So what are we talking about here?
I'm not trying to [bleep] argue with you, but at the same time,
Glen, you -- -I'm not arguing with you, man.
[Lateshia] You can't take it. That's what you do.
-I'm sick of this [bleep]. -Well, what you want to do?
[Glen] We could divorce, Teshia. I'm fine.
[Lateshia] That's fine, whatever the [bleep] you want to do.
[Glen] Cool, like, I'm straight, I'm straight.
Can't even have an adult [bleep] conversation.
That's stupid to me.
Are you gonna take me home?

[waiter] Welcome to Buschman Street Cafe.
[Marlene] I'm glad to be here.
[Matt] This is a very stressful time for me.
The combination and the timing of me starting my own company
and now this new development with the property
and the tension between my mom and my wife is very agitating.
Kerri's been stressed. She's got a lot on her plate.
Well, if she listen to people like me,
y'all wouldn't be stressed.
She is not tamed. It's time for you to tame her.
She feels like you could be doing more because she doesn't
understand your lifestyle and your career.
[Kerri] She's just a everyday average lady.
A doctor is not going to go take advice
from a street-sweeper.
Give me just a couple of minutes, I'll get you all set up.
-OK. -Thank you.
This is very important for my wife and my mom to sit down
and get on the same page.
-So Kerri's meeting us soon. -Who?
Kerri. [laughing] You said who?
Why do you say it like that? Who?
[normally] Your daughter-in-law.
-Oh, my daughter-in-law. -What other Kerris you know?
-I call Kerri, DIL. -DIL?
Yeah, daughter-in-law.
Just have an open mind, that's all I want to tell you.
With Kerri, I have to have an open mind.
Oh God.
♪ Go stand in line ♪
♪ With the rest of the haters while I get mine ♪
♪ 'Cause you a hater ♪
[Matt] So I was talking to Kerri, and she said...
[Kerri] Hold on, I heard my name already.
-[indistinct] -"Kerri said," what I said? What I said?
-Hi. -You look nice, beautiful.
Well, what kind of energy you bringing?
Because last time, I don't know why you acting all...
I'm trying to figure it out.
Honey, I ain't gonna lie, I'm holding a grudge.
Because I'm still mad about Marlene popping up at my house,
bringing all this drama.
So I want to have peace with my mother-in-law.
But she's the one bringing the drama to me.
Welcome in. My name is Spencer.
I'll be taking care of y'all today.
-Thank you, Spencer. -Of course.
What can I get y'all started with to drink?
[Marlene] I'm gonna do water and some Chardonnay,
because I'm gonna need it -- yes. -[Spencer] OK, I got you.
Oh, Jesus, of course.
My mother-in-law tends to get a little loose.
When she gets loose, mess is afoot.
So if anything goes wrong, I got something for her that's
going to have her tripping.
Well, babe, what you brought us in for?
She's nervous.
You got my nerves bad, yes.
Marlene, the last time you came to my house, you really,
like, went crazy on me and my mama.
Matt, do you believe that? Come on.
She's exaggerating, like she always does.
I feel that when you came to my house the other day,
you were looking for a fight. -When I came to her house.
-Do I not live there? -My restaurant.
Marlene, are you worried that he has to have his own?
[Marlene] No.
I'm just reminding my son that it can't always be
about you and your vision.
It's not just about me and my vision.
I'd like to see everybody get back on the same page
to hopefully make peace, find some common ground,
find some balance. -That's part of the problem.
Marlene talking about the ground.
The grounds in Greensburg, that's part of the problem.
[Marlene] In Greensburg?
You remember we were sitting down having
that nice chat without Kerri? -[Kerri] Was it nice?
'Cause my husband was very frazzled when he got back.
-Really? -I wasn't frazzled.
-Oh. -We had a good talk.
About what? Stuff she can't take care of?
I'm a person that when I deal with people,
I like for people to bring solutions and not problems.
Mm.
-We have an understanding. -We have an understanding.
And I agree to an extent
that I need to get more involved and help out.
Thank you, son.
Because Greensburg and the property is
an important part of our future and our kids' future.
Matt, I'm starting to feel a little teamed-up on.
Boy, I'm going to need you to stand up and be counted.
Because in this moment, you're sitting up here
pandering to your mama. And I do not like it.
Don't worry, hold on. I got you, don't worry.
-Kerri, who are you texting? -Don't worry about it, boo.
Alas, one thing about Miss Kerri,
baby, she always comes with a trick in her bag.
And I got a little some for them
that's gonna have them shaking.
[Matt] I just think the other day we --
-I got more in Greensburg. -Oh, Lord.
-Hello. -[Kerri] The Hail Mary is here, baby, full of grace.
-Ooh, look who's here, my best friend. -Oh, God.
-[Marlene] Come get your daughter. -Come get my daughter?
I believe I better get y'all, y'all teaming up on her.
She said, I attacked her and you.
I got to bring my mama to explain to Matt
that it's time for him to man-up and get his mama straight.
And even if he doesn't, my mama will take care of that.
One thing about me and my mama, I might be a firecracker,
but honey, she's a Roman candle.
And I'm about to bring, for this table, the fireworks.
What are we here for? What's, what's, what's up?
What's up? Tell me.
I was talking to her about Matt and how I needed him to be
showing up sometimes in Greensburg.
You're trying to manipulate him, Marlene,
so he can do your bidding. -You just tell --
[Kerri] And all I'm doing is trying to keep it together over here.
You don't even know what we have going on in our life.
-I don't? -[Kerri] My mom and daddy do.
That's why they don't come with the mess.
I feel like I'm in the middle of a cat fight.
-Me too. -No, you're not.
I feel like you should stand up and --
This is a lion right here, baby. I'm a big cat.
You see how she's talking to me?
-I will not allow -- -See, she's out of control.
-I will not allow for y'all to put this on me. -Allow what, though?
-And Matt, you're gonna have to stand up... -We're not putting none on you.
We're sitting, look, we came here to sit and have lunch.
She can't do that.
I'm very perturbed right now.
Honestly, I have very seldom been successful
course-correcting my wife and my mom's disagreements.
This is one of those moments where I know I can't fix it.
Maybe God can.
Something's really wrong with you.
Wait, now, ain't nothing wrong with my daughter, now.
You're taking it personal.
Yeah, I am, 'cause it ain't nothing.
-OK. -Let's straighten this out.
[Lateshia] Next time on "Belle Collective."
I volunteered us to babysit baby TJ, AKA baby Tamra Junior.
I brought her water 'cause she only does distilled
or spring water. So no juice?
No -- no!
-[Latrice] Goddammit, be still, girl. -[babbles]
Today is the day of my bridal shower.
I'm so excited.
The issue is my coordinator can't do anything
without an order of service. -She did --
Well, wait a minute, we can't be stressing out the bride on her...
-[coordinator] Yes, oh yeah. -[Kerri] You can't be weighing on my bride.
[coordinator] We're going...
You better straighten up.
If my son was here talking to you like this,
what would happen?
What would happen? Tell him.
He wouldn't have any teeth when he gets finished speaking.
-Ah. -Oh, Jesus Christ.
