mily Reunion"...
- You 80 pounds!
- You [bleep] stupid skinny bitch.
- Ashley and Jade.
- Only thing going through my head is,
do you wanna fight, do you wanna fight?
- I'm a good mom.
- Who all can relate to being a good mom?
- Sometimes I don't feel like I am a mom.
- Chris!
- Can you tell me a little bit about what that means for you?
- I'm 100% guarded.
I have a hard time trusting.
- Sometimes I kiki, and because we're not friends,
it's not appropriate.
And if--and if that happens, like, I'm sorry for that.
She gave some insight for me to understand
why she acted the way she acted, and I think
that there's a mutual respect in place moving forward.
- Yeah.
- Get ready for the mother of all reunions.
[all scream]
We're reuniting in warm and sunny San Diego.
- Let's toss the [bleep] fun, bitch.
- We're gonna deal with our drama.
- It doesn't feel like what I thought
a marriage would feel like.
- We're gonna heal from our past.
- I'm gonna cry.
- And we're gonna come together
like only this family can.
- ♪ I know some people, they would die for me ♪
♪ We run together, they're my family ♪
♪ I'll say forever my family ♪
- Is everyone getting along so great?
- We're getting along-- we're getting--
- Get up in my [bleep]. We're getting along.
- Whole lot of gang [bleep]. - Oh, can we twerk?
Can we twerk and show that we're good?
- One, two, and twerk, twerk, twerk, twerk, twerk, twerk.
Jade, you gotta try
a little bit harder, girl, come on, come on.
- The conversation with Ashley, I think, went well.
The fact that she said sorry and acknowledged,
like, "I did something wrong," that's all I wanted.
So I think we came to the same page like,
"Okay, that happened.
Let's hash it out and just move on."
- ♪ What now, I think we weathered the storm ♪
♪ I'm getting blessed for all my efforts ♪
♪ I'ma bring you along ♪
♪ So ring the alarm ♪
- I'm really proud of Jade and Ashley.
They were able to communicate and, like, get back on track.
And that's impressive.
If they can do that after all the [bleep] that's gone down,
it makes me feel much more hopeful about the progress
they're gonna do while they're here.
- She ain't feeling so good, but she out here.
- Oh, Amber's out. - She made it.
How are you feeling, babe?
- Oh, my God. - Oh, [bleep], [bleep].
- My feet are blistered from [bleep] sun poisoning.
- Oh! - Oh!
- Oh, wait, my--
[laughter]
- I've never had sun poisoning before.
It just felt like my skin was still burning.
And it was all because of the kayaking.
- Amber, my God. - Shut the [bleep] up.
- I didn't even know that could happen to skin.
I was like, "Damn."
- This is our icebreaker.
We're gonna play "Never Have I Ever,"
so if you have done it, you put your finger down.
- If I've done it?
- If you've done it, you put it down.
I'm gonna say something that I've never done.
The only way this game is fun is if we are all honest.
And nothing is off the table.
- [bleep].
- I'm gonna start easy.
I have never broken a bone.
- I never broke a bone.
- Never have I ever got caught having sex by my parents.
- Nope.
- I would have gotten my ass
all the way beat to hell and back.
- Never have I ever had sex in the rain.
- Outside in the rain?
- Oh, wait, [bleep], I did that, hold on a second.
[laughter]
Okay, okay.
Never have I ever had a threesome.
[bleep], oh!
Oh, God, dude, I can't play this [bleep] game.
Apparently, I don't [bleep] know how to play that game
because I kept saying [bleep] that, like, I did.
[laughs]
- A what? - A fivesome.
- That's an orgy. No, that's an orgy, right?
- I ain't did that.
- Some of y'all are freaky-deaky-deaky
in the sheets.
- Never have I ever [bleep] ass.
- Oh, bitch, come on, now.
- I ain't never [bleep] ass.
- [bleep] ass? Hot damn.
[laughter]
- Bar's finger said...
[laughter]
- There were some questions that I put a finger down to
where I looked around and was like,
"You know, y'all lying.
Somebody in here is lying right now."
- When you say eat, you gotta elaborate.
Does that mean tickling-- - Yeah, what do you mean?
- [bleep].
- I'm like, "Zachary, you get it son, bravo."
- [bleep].
- It doesn't matter.
- Why does everything have to be sexual with these people?
[laughs]
- Only thing you've put down is just a broken bone?
- I didn't say that. No, I got three fingers left.
- Oh, you have three fingers left? [bleep].
- Gary.
- Wait a second.
- Gare Bear, what you be doing?
That's the Indianimal in him.
- Oh, my God. - Oh, damn.
- Hey, Gary.
- All right, Gary, [bleep].
[indistinct chatter]
- Gary, come on.
- He's been over there secretly being a nasty little freak
and, like, wanted to hide it from the whole entire group.
And we're like, "What the hell?"
I feel like we all realized
we've done some things. - Yeah.

- [laughs]
With Chey. We are locked down.

- ♪ Bad girl, bad, bad, bad ♪
- My daughter Stella is identical
to my sister Brittany.
Like, they're twins.
The sass, the attitude, and I'm just like,
"Did I just birth my sister's daughter?
'Cause that's what it feels like.
- It's, like, the way Puerto Ricans say aunt,
like, auntie. - Are you guys Puerto Rican?
- Yeah, like, we got different dads.
So her dad's more, like-- I do not know.
I think her dad more, like, native Puerto Rico.
My dad's more, like, Afro-Latino.
So, like, that's why we look different.
- I didn't know you guys had different dads.
- Yeah.
- We just found out not too long ago ourselves.
- Even though we all have so much in common,
our situations are sometimes different.
And I feel like we're really getting to talk to each other
about stuff that goes on in our everyday lives
without seeing it through TV, and it's just nice
to get to know people on, like, a more human level.
- You were raised by whose dad? - Her dad.
- And you thought that was your dad?
- Yeah. - Okay.
- My dad died when I was a baby.
- Do you feel like that changes anything?
- Yeah, well, no, her dad adopted me.
- So do you call her dad Dad?
- Sometimes, not anymore, I'm mad at him.
- The minute he found out
Briana was pregnant with Nova, he dipped.
- Oh.
- I had my father from 0 to 16.
- Damn.
- And then he just...
- And hasn't said [bleep]. - Nope.
- What was your mom's reason for--
- Keeping it a secret? "To protect us."
- Okay. - Yeah, 'cause my dad died--
- Why the air quotes? - How is that protecting us?
By lying to us?
- I think sometimes there's things
that children don't understand.
And sometimes there's things that you don't know
how to explain to a child without crushing a child.
- Yeah, I could see that. - I could understand
if Brittany's father was still alive
and he was a bad person
and my mom wanted to keep Brittany away.
But Brittany's dad passed away before
Brittany even turned one.
- No, no, no, three. I was three.
I was Stella's age.
- So why even keep that a secret?
I think that's something that Brittany needs to know.
- To me, it's like, you tried, but you kind of missed
the mark, like, 'cause, like, in the future,
my whole [bleep] life now is turned upside down.
And every day, I struggle
with, like, trying to figure out who I am.
- As a parent, though, that just--that eats me alive.
I feel so bad for her, and without even knowing
details and knowing them, it's hard
to see someone else be in that space.
Like, I don't think anyone deserves
to feel the way she feels.
- That's why I fight so hard with Devoin
because I don't want that to happen to Nova
and I fight so hard with Luis
because I don't want that to happen to Stella.
I deal with it every [bleep] day.
I'm gonna cry.
- I'm sorry. Don't cry.
- I wonder about my father every day.
So this is why I'm so hard on Devoin and Luis
because I want them to be dads, I want them--I know
that they have so much potential to be great fathers
because both Nova and Stella deserve it.
And I wanted to sit down with you guys
so that we can come to some type of solution
because I feel like I'm doing everything by myself.
We can pick a bill. We can go half on it.
We can do something, but something has to change
because Stella and Nova need you guys.
I want them to have strong father figures in their life.
I just want-- - Go on, cry if you have to.
[bleep] it.
- I just want my kids to have their dads
'cause I don't have mine and I know what it feels like.
- Yeah. - Yeah.
- Maybe you should invite Devoin.
- The conversation I had with the girls,
it just made me realize, like,
I want a strong relationship with Devoin
because he's Nova's father,
but then he's also a father figure to Stella.
Okay, I'll be back, guys.
But we can't talk, we can't communicate, we clash,
and we argue, and we fight.
There's no reason why he has two jobs
and he doesn't help me with Nova.
That's why I'm putting you on child support.
You gotta pay up.
- You sit there and say I want her all the time forever.
No [bleep], they're gonna be paying all this kind of money.
- So what you're saying is that you're not gonna help pay
for anything because you don't get her?
- Get the [bleep] out of here.
You don't even know what it's like to have a dad.
- It's important to me to have
a really good relationship with Devoin,
so I need to invite him to come here.
I hope Coach B can help us get through it.
[cell phone chimes]
- Hey. - Hey, what's going on?
- Um, I wanted to let you know that I'm in San Diego.
I am at a retreat with, like, other people from "Teen Mom."
And we're, you know, figuring our problems out,
and I thought about you,
and I wanted to know if you would wanna come.
- Sounds good because I mean, I got something
I kind of wanna tell you too, so...
- Okay, that's good.
What the [bleep] do you have to tell me?
I was so confused by it.

I'm scared of the dark,

- Oh, yeah, 'cause there's no TV here or anything?
- There's no TV.
- So I called Devoin last night and I invited him here.
- I'm happy he's coming because I'm so uncomfortable
being away from home that I might hug the [bleep]
when I see him, like, somebody from home.
- No, I think it'd be a great thing
for us to work on our issues,
for us to try to be better,
you know, parents co-parenting for the sake of the girls.
I told him. He was like,
"Yeah, you know, I would love to come.
I think that's a great idea."
And he was like, "I also have to tell you something."
- Jasmin's pregnant.
Calling right now, Jasmin's pregnant.
- Probably, or he's moving or something.
- No, Jasmin's pregnant.
- Jasmin is Devoin's girlfriend,
and I honestly think his girlfriend is pregnant.
Yeah. - That's always what it is.
- Probably.
- I'm not gonna exaggerate and say
that I think he's having twins.
But I think there's a bun in the oven.
- He's never really said he has to tell me something before,
so I'm pretty sure it's important.

cool relationship.
We've never had any drama ever, you know what I'm saying?
But, like, I didn't know, know Leah.
But I'm here to make all the friends.
I came to be in your business.
- In my business? - Yeah.
I have a screenshot of your business.
- Uh-oh.
- I wanna know who this man is.
- Everyone knows about my new boyfriend, Jaylan.
I definitely posted them up on my page.
Jaylan is a really great guy.
And he's cool. He's so kind.
Aw. He's a good guy.
- Is he? - He's a good guy.
- Okay.
- The chemistry is there. The connection is there.
Like we have a lot of fun together,
a lot of fun together.
- From the pictures you dropped on everybody,
you just bombed everybody with, it looks like it.
- He's very career-driven.
He has his long-term goals,
short-term goals panned out,
like, very intelligent.
Thoughtful. - Mm-hmm.
- Compassionate. - Mm-hmm.
And are we open to all of that? - I'm not.
I'm not gonna front. I'm not.
- You have to receive it. You deserve it.
- I don't think that I don't deserve it.
But I also think that I'm a little bit like,
is this real? Are you real?
Are you really compassionate? Are you really caring?
Are you really thought-- are you gonna stay this way?
- Right.
- 'Cause what happens if you don't?
- Does he have kids?
- He doesn't have kids and he's a little bit younger.
That scared me too.
I've gotten a lot better with the trust issues,
but I know that they're still there.
I know that it's still there because it shouldn't have took
however long for me to even be like,
"Sure, I'll be your girlfriend."
Maybe I have attracted someone that's great.
But at the same time, I'm a little guarded,
I'm a little scared, but he's like, "It's fine.
We're gonna work through it. It's fine."
I'm like, "What you mean we're gonna work through it?"
- You know why? 'Cause it could be awesome.
And you could--you could potentially block it
by being guarded
or stunt the growth of it by being guarded.
- I mean, I definitely think trust issue
stems from my childhood, my dad being absent
and not knowing what true love is from a man.
I was 13 ever since I last saw you.
It's been hard with you not around.
- It's been hard for me too.
- I also have three daughters
that I'm responsible for.
So letting anyone in our lives is not just gonna happen.
- Is he gonna come? - I don't know, man.
I'm just [bleep] scared. I'm just scared.
I don't know. I know it's [bleep] up.
- Right. - I know it's [bleep] up.
But how do I fix it?
- Here we go, Maci.

- Oh, [bleep]!

- Devoin walks in, and I'm like, "Oh, my gosh.
Is this good? Do him and Briana get along?"
I don't know. - Somebody from home.
- How you doing? - I'm so sorry.
- Someone from home.
- I'm just looking at Bri's face.
I'm trying to understand,
are we about to fight?
Are we gonna hug?
What is the energy like?
'Cause I don't really know them.
But I'm trying to get to understand what is going on.
- ♪ Where you at, where you at ♪
♪ Where you at, where you at ♪
- Somebody from home.
- How you doing? - Welcome.
- How are you? - How you doing?
Nice to meet you.
- Hey, Devoin's here!
I don't think anyone was expecting him.
He walked in at the right time, though.
He missed all the [bleep].
- I'm gonna go outside and talk.
We'll be back. - All right.
- BRB.
- It's a little awkward because him and I
have never really been together in a close setting
without the kids,
so I don't know what steps to take.
What is up?
- I'm glad you're here. It's been good vibes.
I've been having a good old time with everybody.
- Yeah, I had a good welcoming, you know what I mean.
It's definitely cool. Little introduction right here.
I ain't mad at it at all, know what I mean?
- You said you have something to tell me?
- Did I say that?
- Yeah, on FaceTime.
I'm thinking like, "Mm, what is it?
"Are you moving? Are you and Jasmin pregnant?
Like, I want full details."
What is it, though? - We'll get to that.
It's really nothing, to be honest.
It's kind of like--I don't even know how to explain it.
- Well, explain it.
- Yo, I'm about to propose to Jasmin.
- Okay, I thought you were gonna tell me
Jasmin's pregnant.
I'm like, "Okay." - No, I'm not.
- All right, let's get this party started.
- Briana makes it easy to, you know,
explain that I got someone I love,
but seeing me in a smooth relationship with somebody
but yet me and her don't got a smooth,
you know, co-parenting relationship,
probably, like, she can't figure it out.
- Me and Jasmin never got to sit down and talk.
And I would love to sit down and talk.
I was kind of waiting for you to introduce us together.
I feel like sometimes you kind of hide her,
and I don't want it to be like that.
Like, I want Jasmin to feel welcome.
Like, I don't want any of that animosity.
When Nova's with you guys,
she's--she's gonna be that mom figure for Nova,
and I wanna make sure Jasmin has Nova's back.
- Jasmin and Nova, they got a very good relationship.
Like, if I come pick Nova up to do something--
and not just Nova but even Stella,
they'll ask, "Where's Jasmin?
Where's Jasmin?"
So they got a good relationship.
She's good with the kids too.
- How does she feel about you coming here?
- She understand what comes first.
It's Nova. She definitely respects that.
- Do I really care that he's getting married?
No, but do I wish him the best?
Yes. I want him to, like, prosper in life.
I want him to experience all the things
that he--that he's always wanted to experience.
I invited you so we could be better at co-parenting
and hopefully we learn something here.
- There's no distraction here.
We're facing our collisions.
I mean, we gotta face them head-on.
- Damn, you look tore up.
- Good morning, sunshine.
- I really, really, really, really like Jaylan.
I don't wanna be an asshole.
I don't wanna be mean to people that's good to me.
Making it public with Jaylan,
it took me a while to even do that.
Or even become exclusive because I was [bleep] scared.
I was scared of committing to something.
So I'm working on it and I'm willing to work on it
especially if he comes out here.

but it sure was funny.

- So y'all--y'all don't never got, like,
a--like, sharks here?
- Nothing big, like, nothing bigger than, like, small fish.
- 'Cause I read something about leopard sharks possibly.
I'm definitely nervous.
I don't wanna be sitting in the water
and something, you feel me, take a nibble at me or a bite,
you feel me, like--
- You got this, Bar.
- Me and Devoin was out there, sitting ducks.
Couldn't get it to work.
I swallowed, like, a gallon of seawater, bro.
I could taste the octopus. [laughter]
- Who's going next? - Bri.
- Briana not finna do this. Are you kidding me?
I've never seen Briana do a cartwheel.
Briana is not finna wakeboard.
- How old's your kid with you and Briana?
- Stay away from the [bleep]--
- She just turned ten last week, literally.
- How's co-parent, like, in your situation?
- There's a lot of up and down, you know what I mean?
But for the most part, we both have
a clear understanding of, you know, that we always
thinking of the child's best interest, you know what I mean?
Like, we both got that understood.
You know, and just, we don't always click
- So you and her personally about y'all's personal issues.
- Yeah, pretty much.
Briana just--she don't really trust me, and the thing
she not trusting me with is our kid,
so that's a pretty big deal.
I would definitely wanna change that.
Sitting here dealing with Briana for two weeks is--
she can kind of see where I'm at in my life.
- She look like she know what she doing.
- Laying on her back. - Correct.
- Okay, stop. - I'm like, "Right."

I have to make some type of excuse for your slack.
Why are you making me do that?
- I want you to list a few things that you want
to ask him to commit to as a--as a parent.
Unfortunately, some people, it takes months, years,
and some people just never get it.
- I mean, I guess if I-- if I was asking Cory,

the [bleep] end of the stick for a long [bleep] time.
- Let me [bleep] talk.
- Let's hear it. - Shut the [bleep] up.
- You don't have to speak-- - Shut the [bleep] up.
- Get respectful, please. - Shut the [bleep] up.
No, I cannot. I can't.
- Whoo, it's [bleep] cold. - Yeah, yeah.
- What the [bleep]? [laughter]
Oh!

- Hey, what's up, babe? - Hi.
- You look beautiful. - Thank you.
Thank you. - You're welcome.
Thank you. So do you. So do you.
Put me on the spot like that, and then I'm awkward.
"You look beautiful."
- I say that to you every day.
You should be--you should be used to that by now.
- Okay. I'm not saying that you don't.
It's something I'm working on.
It's something I'm working on, okay?
But I'm working with-- so we have a life coach here.
I'm trying not to be as guarded.
I'm trying to accept your kindness, okay?
In my past relationships,
there were cheating, trust issues.
I've been cheated on and been the one that's cheated.
- So I heard a rumor the other day.
- What?
- That you had sex with Robbie, like, right before our wedding.
- Yeah, I did.
I know that I've hurt you, and I didn't want to.
- I just don't know if can get past cheating this time.
- Like, I need to let the walls come down,
and I'm scared to let the walls come down.
I plan on being here for a long time.
- You say that you're gonna be here for a long time.
- And I am.
- I don't know. I don't know.
Why do I question the love being given by someone
that I'm attracted to and that's super kind
and that I genuinely love, you know?
It would be nice if he was here.
Maybe you should--maybe you should come out here.
- I'll see if I get out there.
I mean, I would love to come out there
and work on it with you.
If things align,
I think we can make that happen.
- You should come because the stuff I've been working on
since we're now exclusive after forever...
Wow.
Why are you so damn patient, though?
- Because I genuinely, like, love you.
- ♪ It's never been a question ♪
♪ About the way I feel about you ♪
♪ 'Cause, boy, the way I feel without you ♪
♪ Is misery, baby ♪
- Oh, okay, we eating. We eating, eating.
- It's good to see
that you doing a little bit better, though.
- Yeah, I am. I'm good.
I'm not gonna let the [bleep] sun poisoning
keep me from bonding with the other moms,
'cause I want them to relate to me.
I came here to support my girls,
and I really love being a part of this
and having a platform showing the struggles of co-parenting
and how this affects your children
and how me and Gary can really authentically be ourselves
around each other and talk.
- I feel like I don't really know
who I am if I'm not a mom.
- I can relate to you because I got pregnant at 16
and all I was, a mom,
just mother and nothing else.
I never asked Devoin for anything
because we can't talk, we can't communicate,
but he needs to learn how to communicate with Nova,
'cause sometimes I feel like
he doesn't take her feelings into consideration.
He's much of the, "I'm the adult,
"whatever I say goes,
"I don't care how you're feeling.
- Is Nova in therapy? - No.
- Would you be open to doing, like, family therapy?
- I don't think Nova is... affected...
that deeply to the point
where I think I need to put her in therapy.
- I just don't think you can go wrong if you try.
- If you started therapy now,
it would be better for the future
because with me and Leah,
the thing is, is she doesn't want anything to do with me
pretty much right now at the age of 12.
- Yeah.
- Honestly, therapy when they're younger,
best thing to [bleep] do.
- I feel like I keep on hearing you say, like,
that Leah is embarrassed of you.
Is that something that you-- - She is.
She's said it before. - That she's said to you?
- She's said it before, yeah.
- My question is, like, how do you explain to Leah
things that, like, she's now able to look up
or see on--that happened in the past on, like, the show?
Like, how do you navigate that conversation?
- There's no excuse.
- Amber's hurting,
but she's hurting for her kids.
I hope that Leah one day is able to watch this
and able to see how much her mom really loves her.
- I wasn't sober.
I had to get sober.
The only way I was gonna [bleep] get sober
is if I told them, "Put me in prison."
When I went, finally got sober,
I was seeing Leah, but then I had this void.
I started seeing all these men
and then there's nothing-- like, there's no excuse.
- I'm pretty sure we could relate
in a lot of--a lot of ways.
You know, I was 18, just turned 19.
She was 17, turning 18, having a baby.
My head wasn't in the right place.
I wasn't mature enough, if you want.
I--I blame myself on that.
Like, I wasn't the man I needed to be at the time.
- But this whole conversation,
if it happened even, like, three years ago,
everything that just came out of your mouth
would've been different.
Like, the excuses thing.
That's crazy, the difference.
- I've seen Amber grow a little bit
into a different person.
I know she's been learning some skills from her psychiatrist
and people that she talks to.
- Taking that accountability is--was one thing
that was really hard for me 'cause I honestly thought
that everything that I was doing was fine.
Oh, I--I'm trying to keep Leah away from
all of the bad [bleep] back in the day.
I was trying to do this, trying to do that.
And then I was like, "Well, you know,
"I could have went over there still, though."
- Mm-hmm.
- Why didn't I go over there?
Like, I could've still did this.
I could've still picked her up
and we still could have did that.
Like, I just acted-- I mean, my depression,
I used that excuse as to not do anything.
There's so many [bleep] people that's depressed.
I can say I have bipolar, I can say that,
but there's other people with bipolar that
still are depressed, they could still pick up their kids
and they still do their thing.
That's the one thing that I've changed,
I think, more than anything
is not making excuses to her anymore.
- No, one's a "good mom."
Like, you know, we're all just trying to figure it out.
Whatever goes for you and your family
might not be the best for the next family.
But I mean, we're all just moms doing the best we can
by our children.
It's a hard job.
- Usually you cannot open up
and say personal, inside things
in a room full of people.
That's how you know, like,
we have a good group of people here
is, like, we're doing this kind of stuff like this.
We're all open. - Well, everybody here
is going through a lot of [bleep]
right now, honestly.
We figured that out the first [bleep] night, to be honest.
Okay? [laughter]
- ♪ Big stepper, I'm a big prowler ♪
♪ Been through it out there, so they ain't stoppin' ♪
- See you mañana.
[indistinct chatter] - I love you.
- Party's over. - Yeah.
- Good night. - Good night.
- I know we came here
to get to know each other on a different level,
the girls and I, but my main concern
was just getting on the right track with me and Devoin.
So I'm hoping we could have those tough conversations
that Devoin and I don't have whatsoever.
- How you feeling, D? - I'm feeling great.
- Good, good, good.
So I wanted to check in
and see what your perspective was
on you and Bri's co-parenting relationship.
- The main thing, the downfall, probably be...
inconsistency, you know,
and how easily a routine or something can just fade.
And we don't even talk about it or,
like, [bleep] like that.
- And when it does go wrong,
the communication doesn't work, tell--
what happens in that?
- It's not voiced until we go to a "Teen Mom" reunion.
- How do you think Nova feels
about you guys' parenting relationship?
- Maybe confused. - Mm.
- 'Cause she has friends
and they might bring up things that they do
that's just normal and she don't do.
- Like?
- How often they see their father.
She don't see hers that often, you know?
We had a little agreement on her coming over my house
or spending time with me on weekends,
even if it's just six hours. - Right.
- And that kind of just faded away like it was nothing.
She started saying she didn't wanna come with me and--
- Why do you think she shared
that she didn't wanna come with you?
- I don't know, 'cause she would tell me
she wanted to come with me.
- Oh, so she would tell you she wants to come, and then--
- She'd tell me on Friday, "I'm so down for tomorrow."
- So where would you hear she didn't wanna come with you?
- I would text Nova, and she would text me
saying, "Nova said she doesn't wanna come."
That started happening every week
until it faded away.
- Got it. Okay.
You think that she trusted you to show up for Nova when you--
- Yeah, yeah. Absolutely. Absolutely.
- Bri, would I be accurate to say that
you do not trust him to say he's gonna show up
and pick up Nova and show up?
- Not always.
Because there's a lot of times that you didn't.
The other week, you said you were gonna come
after we set up Nova's birthday party,
and you didn't come in the morning.
- Yeah, well, yeah.
I mean, I'm not gonna lie.
I had a couple other things to deal with at home,
and I didn't make it.
- The thing is, like,
if you say you're gonna do something,
you should stick to it and be committed to do it.
- But that's not something I told her.
I told you. - But the thing is,
I told Nova that you were coming
because you told me you were coming.
So now Nova's like, "Where's my dad?"
And then I'm the one that has to explain to her
why you didn't make it.
- If I have to handle some business
from my home, [bleep] happens,
like, that's not that big of a deal, straight up.
- To me, I think it's a big deal.
- Let's talk about this little, simple [bleep] right here,
like, dealing with this show. - Go there.
- The very first episode that aired,
she said I left the hospital to go play basketball
when my daughter was born.
That's a 1,000% bold-faced lie.
How do I face that?
- It was nice having Devoin here for Nova's birth,
but the next morning, he ran off to play basketball
with his friends.
It's clear he's not interested in being a dad first,
so I decided not to put his name on the birth certificate.
- I need this air cleared. - Mm-hmm.
- That's a bold-faced lie.
My life with her started on a lie.
I was never given a chance. - That's false.
- I was given a one-wheel bicycle,
like, ride that [bleep], wheelie it.
Wheelie the one-wheel bike. You can't do that.
- This conversation's gonna turn live in a second.
- What I don't want us to do, right,
is to deflect from Nova.
- I'm talking about--this is all about abandoning her.
She gonna think I abandoned her as soon as she was born.
- D, Nova's gonna feel like she's abandoned
based on the-- listen to me, hold on--
based on the experience
that you give her.
There's nothing-- - Not because of my story.
- There's nothing that Bri can tell her.
Hear me clear. I prom--
There's nothing that this woman can tell her
that will overpower the experience you give her.
So I want you to understand that
the ball's in your court when it comes to that.
- Thank you.
And when I talk, please don't interrupt me when I say this.
You haven't always been stable throughout your life, right?
So there was no consistent home for Nova to go to, number one.
You were couch-hopping from the age of zero to maybe five.
- That's a lie. That's a lie.
Now, what is you saying? That's a lie.
- Maybe zero to five. - Now you're just talking
out your ass. - Hold it, D, she let you talk.
- This is ignorant. I'm not finna sit here
and be talked about on TV incorrectly.
We gonna get accurate in this [bleep].
It was a year and a half. It was a year and one half
when I didn't have a place to live.
Let's talk correctly, or I will walk
to my [bleep] suite. - Okay, year and a half.
- Let's get correct, or I walk to that suite.
- Bri, let's talk to him.
Year and a half, I hear you, D.
- This [bleep] ain't-- y'all know me.
This [bleep] finna come off. It's finna come off.
- D, year and a half. - It's finna come off.
- He doesn't like to hear the truth.
- It's finna come off. - And this is what happens.
- Tell your daughter the truth about her dad.
- D. - Her dad did not--
was not homeless from [bleep] zero to five.
Tell Nova the truth.
I don't give a [bleep] about camera A or B.
- Coming up on "Teen Mom Family Reunion"...
- You guys thought you could have a family reunion
without me?
- [shouts]
[people cheering]
- Uh-oh.
- Hi!
- Well, [bleep]. - [laughs]
- Briana, look at me. - Briana, stay with us.
- Briana, look at me, please. Look at me.
Breathe through your nose and out through your mouth.
