- Previously on Basketball Wives Orlando.
- I, Mehgan James, have
been linked to multiple basketball players, a couple
agents and even a referee.
- My name is Ashley Snell.
I'm an entrepreneur.
We're going to have to scoot some stuff over.
ASHLEY: I've been married to Tony for two years.
We have a great life and two beautiful sons.
- Morgan.
I'm a mother first and an entrepreneur second.
My ex-husband is a former basketball player.
We share three amazing children together.
- I do follow some girls that are kind of
like in the basketball world.
- Try to stay neutral.
- I'm really excited for new city,
new adventures, new friends.
- Cheers.
- Morgan, I know for a fact
that Ashley be talking to your ex-husband, like a lot.
MORGAN: I for sure need to have a one on one conversation
with Ashley, because I'm dying to hear the truth from her.
ASHLEY: When I got the text from Morgan
to meet up tonight, I had my doubts on whether I
should even show up.
- You a fake ass if you decided
to bring bitches around my man.
- I never brought women around your man.
- It came out in our divorce.
Everything came out in our divorce!
You're sticking your nose in something that
don't have anything to do--
- OK.
- We're talking about my children.
[tense music]
[theme music]
(SINGING) Ay. Ay.
Get your [bleep] straight talkin' bitch is in town,
there's a new name.
Make way, new player new reign, better check my ID.
I don't slay, I destroy.
Cute face, I don't mind it.
- So today is my photo shoot
in Orlando for my new line.
I'm getting ready to do my grand reopening.
Like, I have so much going on.
On top of all that, I still have to run
the website, the marketing.
Like, it's just-- it's never ending.
But I love it.
I love it.
I chose to do this.
(SINGING) You like some photos but no text back.
Did it hurt your ego?
Here's a nice pat.
I got the whole place lit up, I just want to live it up my way.
ASHLEY: Yeah.
PHOTOGRAPHER: Oh, these are dope.
Yeah.
- Hi.
You made it.
Tony is the most supportive husband.
Anything that I want to do, he is behind me 110%.
- You get some water in you?
- No.
OK.
Trying to open a store right after the pandemic was really
scary because I didn't know if we were going to get
shut down again.
That's why this grand reopening is so important for me,
just to show how far we've come, how
much adversity we've overcome, and how
far we can really take this.
We're done here, so you guys are good to go.
Thank you, guys, for a great day.
(SINGING) Come and get it now.
Ha.
- Did You have fun at Urban Air with daddy?
- Yeah.
(ON) MACKENZIE'S DAD: Elias, what you
going to do with the hammer?
- CC, you want sandwich?
You want grapes?
- No. (ON) MACKENZIE: NO?
OK.
I'm very close with my dad.
I've always been a daddy's girl.
If something doesn't work out with Dwayne
or plans fall through or he's busy,
my dad is here to help me with the children.
You cannot drink my coffee, Miss Ma'am.
Oh!
She just socked me in the face.
- Wow, watching those videos.
She's been doing that to me, smacking me a lot.
- No.
Do you miss mom, dad, being down here?
(ON) MACKENZIE'S DAD: Yeah, of course.
35 years, that's a long time to be married to somebody.
- Seeing you and mom my whole life being married
and being best friends, and literally,
no matter what the situation is, it's like,
you guys figured it out together.
And it's just like, the definition of unconditional
love that I've seen from you guys.
And I do want that.
My relationship with my mom is really good.
She's one of my best friends.
She's very important to me.
I'm very close to my parents.
I cherish their marriage, their values,
how they've raised my siblings and I, and just
everything about their dynamic.
It's inspiring to me.
- Hey.
- So yeah.
We-- we're hearing a lot about this chicken farm.
- Oh, my gosh.
No, I don't--
I don't have a chicken farm business.
Somebody that I have been seeing owns a farm, because--
- Oh, somebody that you're dating?
- I mean, yeah.
This new relationship that I'm in, I'm
trying to keep it quiet and under
wraps because my relationship with Dwayne
was rocky towards the end.
It ended, in part, from a lot of cheating and lying.
So I'm keeping this new relationship to myself
because I don't want to jump the gun too soon
and think that he is different before I'm involving
everyone else in my business.
- Mm-hmm.
- I've been very private about this and like,
keeping it to myself because I really care about this person
and like love him.
But being here and being around these girls and everybody,
it's like, people start making comments
and being in your business.
That's when like-- that's when drama happens.
I appreciate you listening because I
know you don't do drama.
- Yeah. MACKENZIE: I mean--
(ON) MACKENZIE'S DAD: If you need
a "Paw Patrol" show or something, it ain't happening.
(SINGING) I believe, I believe, I want your love.
- Welcome to Every Berry land.
- Oh, my God!
[screaming]
- I'm still reeling from my meet
up with Ashley the other night.
But in between this Ashley situation and my ex-husband
trying to get out of taking care of our children,
it's taking a lot of work to keep a smile on my face.
But today is my baby's 12th birthday celebration.
So I'm going to do everything in my power
to make sure she has the best birthday party
and provided with the best ever.
- How much does all this cost?
- Don't worry about the money.
I go way more harder for my kids now that the situation has
become ugly between my ex and I. So I feel like it is my job
to provide them with the stability,
the happiness, the mental space that they need.
I'm going to always do that.
Look at Nana.
Hey, y'all.
- Oh, this is lovely. You like it?
- Yeah. (ON) CARITA: Hey, sweet.
MORGAN: I got a hug.
- (ON) CARITA: sweetie.
- I'm also excited that I'll
have family and friends in town, so today should be so much fun.
Let's eat.
MORGAN: Hey, thank you.
- Happy birthday to Eriauna!
- Hoo!
Hoo!
- Big fire!
ERIAUNA: I know.
You were right next to it.
- Hi, friend.
- OK.
- Hey, beautiful.
How are you?
- Good, I just heard you were here.
I just sent my cousin to get you a mocktail.
- Thank you.
My very first mocktail.
MORGAN: That pond over there is just screaming gators.
The gators here have me nervous.
- Yeah.
They do pop out.
- They do.
- And snakes.
- Hey.
- Hi, beautiful.
- My name is Danielle Miller.
I am the ex-fiancee of former player, Rashad Vaughn.
We have two beautiful children together,
Carter, who is six years old, and Khari who is two years old.
- How have you been enjoying
being back here in Orlando?
- I mean, bittersweet, you know.
- Your face not bittersweet.
- I know. What I look like?
MORGAN: You look good.
- I actually met Morgan while our partners
were playing together.
Morgan was one of those ladies in the NBA
that a lot of the ladies looked up to.
So me and her always had a really good relationship.
Girl, tell me about your sit down with Ashley.
MORGAN: Ashley and I kind of had a little riff raff.
Instead of just like standing up and saying, this is my wrong,
she's just fake.
- you talk directly to him, yes or no?
- Sure.
- It's a yes because you're a snake ass bitch.
- OK.
- When you came to Milwaukee,
who was cool with you? Don't answer.
Nobody.
But who was, though?
- I don't deny that. (ON) MORGAN: You can't deny it.
I gave you a chance to talk.
You said you didn't have [bleep] to say.
So shut the [bleep] up and listen.
- So maybe she felt it was some smoke or something.
- She got smoke. I don't have smoke.
- With who? With you?
- She always got smoke with me.
- Why?
- Welcome to my life.
- Girl, oh, Lord.
(SINGING) What can they really say about me?
Ha.
She got her wrong.
- Today I'm bringing my son
Kaiser, Dwayne and Mackenzie's son, Elias,
to the party with me.
I definitely think Mackenzie and I have reached an understanding
on a lot of things, especially like,
co-parenting and co-existing.
- So I understand where you're coming from 100%.
- At the end of the day,
I just want us to respect each other.
- Yeah. Same.
And I do. I respect you a lot.
- Yeah, we're doing good.
MORGAN: Thank you, for real, for bringing your babies.
- Yes.
I was surprised that they both let him come, but--
- Who is they?
- Mackenzie and Dwayne.
- Oh.
NIQUE: Yeah.
- OK. Understood.
- Wait.
Why do you do that?
- As soon as I met Nique,
I was able to put two and two together.
Hmm, these love triangles just became a hexagon.
You know, because I heard she's [bleep] my baby daddy.
- Oh.
PRODUCER: Who is Mackenzie?
- That's a great question, who is she?
I did ask Rashad like, how do you know her?
I noticed that you follow her.
He really acted like she was nobody.
- So how did you actually find out that they--
- So I get a DM.
It was just a picture, like, ain't this your baby
daddy with Mackenzie and Talon?
He's like, I ain't on her page.
I said we see you on the back of that jet ski.
I said, baby, we do yachts, we don't do jet skis.
- When you are dating a professional basketball
players, the hate can come from all sides.
I have 100% been in Danielle's shoes before.
And it just would not surprise me at all
if that DM came from Mackenzie.
- From what I understand,
she's going around saying they in love.
How are you in love with a man you just met?
You just met this man three months ago.
- Mackenzie new relationship, child, I'm happy.
Danny, I'm sorry.
I know you're going through something, girl,
but it's making life way easier for me.
- So do you just want
to get the timeline straight?
- I just want to get the timeline.
I want to get--
- You want her to know
that it overlapped, basically.
- Yeah, I'm here to let
her know that me and him were just together--
- Right.
Yeah.
- Throughout their five-month relationship.
And you were a side bitch.
- Well, I know for a fact
that she don't think it overlapped.
- How would you feel co-parenting?
- Would you be cordial?
- Would you be open? (ON) DANIELLE: With her?
Absolutely not.
I'm not co-parent with no bitch that he ain't got no ring on.
- Are you going to be
like, OK with being around her, though, like, once you go--
- In the circle? (OFF) LYNDZIE: Yeah.
- Oh, yeah.
She's going to be invisible.
- I don't believe the bitch.
- She's going [inaudible]..
- I don't see how that would work.
Oh!
I'm sorry about that.
- Coming up on Basketball Wives Orlando.
- OK, you guys, now that I got my touch,
I'm going to go ahead and do like one dribble shot.
Producing content helped me get my life together.
Don't judge me, OK?
- Have you actually met Mackenzie
in Person because she's here.
- I'm not going to no side bitch.
- How are you? (ON) MACKENZIE: I'm good.
- That's good. You look so pretty.
I like your makeup.
- You seem like you're in a good mood.
That makes me excited.
- Should I not be?
I'm not used to friends like turning
their back on me like that.
Some people don't know what that level of loyalty looks like,
so we can't expect people to ride
like we ride for each other.
[upbeat music playing]
- MULAN: Today I felt like I wanted
to get in the gym, get loose.
So I got a few drills I'm going to show you guys.
And I'm going to start with forearm shooting.
Here we go.
I've been doing basketball content for about two
years now.
I feel like it's a way I could turn my passion into cash flow.
Just go ahead and go right over.
I started playing basketball in the third grade.
And as I got older, I noticed that it wasn't appreciated
as much when it comes to women.
So I made my own way for basketball
and I became an influencer.
My basketball influencer content is just
to really show my skills and gravitate
people who haven't seen girls like me
be able to pick the ball up.
OK, guys, now that I got my touch,
you know, I'm a little loose.
I'm going to go ahead and do like one dribble
shot, just little simple stuff.
People do want to see girls who can do both,
you know, can be a tomboy, can get cute, can glam it up,
can be classy, and do it all in one.
Now my left hand is a little rusty, so don't judge me, OK?
See, it's a little slower.
But you still-- still got it.
Growing up was a little tough.
My mom has nine kids, my dad has six.
So I have a total of 13 siblings.
It was really hard in my house, to be honest.
Sometimes we didn't have water.
Sometimes we didn't have food.
We had bedbugs, roaches.
It was just a lot of little things
that a child dealing with could really
affect their self-esteem.
And just go straight down the line.
Keep your head up.
Producing content 100% helped me get my life together,
kind of focus on different things,
and see a different perspective in life.
Now that, I'm turning it around and I'm making it
into something positive, it's a really
really fun and good experience.
And every time I pick a ball up, I kind of smile.
Stay tuned for more content.
Bye.
(SINGING) Money, money, money, got me
acting all crazy, crazy, crazy.
- Oh, I've just been out of it today.
I'm not going to make it in.
I'm probably not going to get off the couch today.
Hi.
WOMAN (ON PHONE): You got a lot going on.
- Yeah.
It's-- it's been a lot.
I'm a really hard worker.
And I'm really never satisfied.
So these moments of having my photo shoot,
having the grand reopening, to me, it's
just part of the process.
It's not like, oh, I made it.
Like, no, I got to keep pushing myself.
I just wanted to go over with you.
I'm looking at the cameras right now.
Were-- were we not switching out the colors,
the inspiration for--
Creating ASC actually happened during the pandemic, being home
and designing clothes for my husband.
[coughing] Sorry.
And when his clothes samples came,
I realized how comfortable and amazing they were.
So I wanted to do that for myself.
Are you going to go have fun swimming?
I don't want to hear any screaming.
No.
It was actually scary to start my brick and mortar store
after the pandemic because I didn't know if it
was going to happen again.
And then I put all this money into it, and we get shut down.
OK, so if you can just look out for those emails,
and we can get that filled out.
And then, I just want to make sure we
go over the website stuff.
I'm so excited for this grand reopening.
I have put blood, sweat, and tears into this brand.
But at the same time, it is still stressful.
I'm going to enjoy everything once it's over.
We have to get like, the insurance to approve--
oh, my gosh.
He like, screams with swim lessons.
[shrieking sound]
Oh, my gosh!
It's a tea kettle.
I started tea and Carter's out there with swim lessons.
And I thought that he was screaming bloody murder.
Girl, I can't take this right now.
I literally almost had a heart attack.
OK.
Oh.
(SINGING) It's a woman's world.
Hey, yeah.
It's a woman's world.
Hey, yeah.
- Hey, friend.
- Hey, girl.
- How are you doing?
- Actually, I'm tired as hell.
- Really?
- Yes. (ON) DANIELLE: Girl, I know.
I can sense your energy.
It seems low.
What's going on?
- One of my home girls just got to Orlando, too.
Her name is Nikki.
She's going to come meet us today.
DANIELLE: Oh, cool.
MEHGAN: I also invited Lyndzie.
I met her at Morgan's golf event.
She seems nice-ish.
You know, Morgan's golf event, that
was just like literally the icing on the cake, as far as
draining. (OFF) DANIELLE: Really?
- Yes.
Lyndzie told everyone at the golf event
that I used to mess with Morgan's ex-husband.
- You had something that you
maybe needed to say to Morgan.
- Since Lyndzie brought it up,
I used to talk to Eric.
Before you allegedly alleged things, fact check, sis.
No one slept or messed with Morgan's ex-husband.
You don't even know me.
But what you been doing?
- Nothing, just trying to get readjusted.
Like I said, my, anxiety is like, super bad here.
And I miss my babies.
- Oh, well, have them come in.
DANIELLE: I might.
But you know, it's Rashad.
He has his time for the summer, and I'm
trying to respect that time.
You know, we're trying to be positive co-parents.
But obviously given some of the stuff I know, it's--
it's very difficult.
- I can only freaking imagine.
- Rashad and I have been
seeing a therapist to discuss our co-parenting situation.
It's just really hard to be in Orlando
and have to be around his new girlfriend
or partner or whatever, especially when
we have two babies to raise.
- Apparently Mackenzie, rat Kenzie,
snitch Kenzie, done told--
DANIELLE: Not rat Kenzie. One of many.
- Let's call Mackenzie Ratatouille.
- Times one of many, because that's
her name, one of many.
- So Ratatouille, one of many,
apparently went back and told Morgan that, oh, well,
while you guys are jumping down my throat about Rashad,
there are other girls here that are
[bleep] people's boyfriends.
So of course, I found out, as I always
do, how my situation with Eric got passed around the group.
You know, I know who Eric is.
- You know him personally?
- Yeah, I met him through a friend in LA.
MACKENZIE: OK. (ON) MEHGAN: But I--
- You guys like, never dated or anything?
- No.
- I do know your ex might be
familiar with other girls here.
- What do you mean by that?
- I know that him and Mehgan have crossed paths.
- Mackenzie, mind the business
that pays for you and your bills.
And leave me out of it.
- Hello!
- Hey! (OFF) NIKKI: How are you?
- Hey, friend. (ON) DANIELLE: Hi, I'm Dani.
Nice to meet you. (ON) NIKKI: Hi, Dani.
- So I was in the middle of telling Dani
about Ratatouille, one of many.
- That's Mackenzie.
We done nicknamed her.
MEHGAN: Ratatouille one of many
is Nique's new boyfriend baby mama, who is now
sleeping with Dani baby daddy.
DANIELLE: Ex-fiancee.
Be clear.
- I can't keep up with all this drama.
Like, everybody seems to know each other,
been with each other men, backstabbing each other.
Like, Orlando is too much!
- Hi, ladies.
DANIELLE: Hey.
MEHGAN: Hello. LYNDZIE: Hi.
How are you?
- We heard you flipping and flopping up.
Look at the baby.
- It's bigger from when I just saw you.
DANIELLE: I know, just a little bit.
NIKKI: Do you have any children already?
- No, this is my first.
Yes.
NIKKI: Congratulations.
- Thank you.
- So can I--
like, I invited you because at Morgan's golf event,
like, you really hurt my feelings.
You called me out to be like a husband [bleep].
- Coming up on Basketball Wives Orlando.
- That's Mackenzie!
Me and Rashad talk every day.
- That's amazing. (ON) DANIELLE: RV.
You can see it for yourself.
You're not going to bully me up out of a man's life
I've been with for eight years-- (ON) MACKENZIE: I don't want to.
I'm trying to tell you what happened.
- You brought me here to be cordial and here we are.
MEHGAN: So can I--
like, I invited you because at Morgan's golf event,
like, you really hurt my feelings.
You called me out to be like a husband [bleep]
before you even like, spoke to me about it.
I don't even know Morgan that well.
I met Morgan one time at my brunch.
And then I didn't know you. (ON) LYNDZIE: Yeah.
MEHGAN: You know what I'm saying?
I just felt like that was rude.
- Well, I do understand
where you're coming from.
My approach was, if we're all going to be around each other,
we need to get these things out. (ON) MEHGAN: MEHGAN: Right.
- But I do understand--
- MEHGAN: It just came off real aggressive.
- I mean, I can be a bit aggressive.
So-- and I apologize.
I mean well and I do want to tell you that.
Like, I always mean well.
I'm a genuine person.
But it's like, I don't know, I just speak.
DANIELLE: I really do appreciate
you for being like, vulnerable and being
able to like, share that.
Because I know that's hard for you, you know, like--
- Yeah. (OFF) NIKKI: I'm proud of you.
DANIELLE: You're so good. (ON) MEHGAN: Thank you.
NIKKI: Because I was always being here like--
DANIELLE: A drink. LYNDZIE: Oh, wow.
This is the lemon drop crew.
I need to drop my load so I can have me a lemon drop.
- Get a mocktail.
- So Ashley event, I'm going.
You want to come to?
DANIELLE: Nobody could do that.
That's for sure.
- I ain't got nothing else to do.
- That's why I'm like--
- Yo, this squirrel is-- it's--
I'm very-- (OFF) DANIELLE: Oh, my God!
NIKKI: That is not playing with us.
- That's Mackenzie!
Shoo, Mackenzie.
Shoo.
- Ratatouille, one of many.
(SINGING) Clap, clap, clap, turn around and bring it back.
Clap, clap--
- When I saw Morgan at her golf event,
there was a lot of strange tension between us.
I'll leave.
And then when Ashley stuff's done, I'll--
- Mackenzie, we're not
asking you to stay to listen.
If you don't want to listen, the doors are there.
- I sat down with Ashley
and she filled me in on everything
that went down at their meetup.
Right now, there seems to be two sides,
Team Morgan and Team Ashley.
I have history with the both of them.
And I really don't want to be in the middle of anything.
So I invited Morgan out for drinks.
And I do want to make sure that her and I are still good.
- Hi, love.
- Hi.
- It's good to see you.
- It's good to see you, too.
- How are you? (ON) MACKENZIE: I'm good.
- That's good. You look good.
- Thank you. So do you.
- You look so pretty. I like your makeup.
- Thanks.
You seem like you're in a good mood.
That makes me excited.
- Should I not be?
- The last couple of times I've seen you,
I feel like it's just been so much like, drama.
- Mackenzie and I were
getting to know each other, I welcomed her with open arms.
I didn't think that this is the way that our friendship would
end up.
If you were just friends with me,
and you know the things that Ashley and I have been through,
and you just jump ship and go and be friends with her,
her loyalty shows who she is as a person.
- I really like, wanted to talk
to you like, just us two.
When I first got to Orlando, I was excited to see you
and to like, build what I thought we started last summer.
But I feel like the last few times I've seen you,
you have like, a problem with me.
And it was like--
- What makes you feel that way?
- Well, at the brunch and the golf--
- Let me stop you right there.
Everybody was at the table discussing Ashley.
And you jumped to her defense.
- Wait, so am I the only one at the table
who's friends with Ashley?
- Clearly.
- Yeah.
- I can go to the bathroom or like, something.
But I'm a little uncomfortable.
- You're choosing to be friends with Ashley.
And I've been long friends with Danielle.
We just can't be friends.
I don't have a personal problem with Mackenzie.
But for myself, I cannot be friends with
someone who is just jumping ship to go
and be friends with Ashley.
We can be cordial.
We can kiki, ha, ha, over some drinks, but absolutely not.
Mackenzie and are not friends.
I'm feeling some energy coming your way.
- Yeah, 'cause I feel it.
Like, I feel it.
The last two times I've seen you,
I was like, I'm not sure, so.
- Well yeah, because you're basing the last two
times off of my reaction.
But you're not even paying attention to your actions,
of which you said--
- I know that I've never came
to you disrespectfully, though.
- You feel like that?
- I do feel like I've never came at you
in a disrespectful manner.
I've never called you names.
You called me slow and her slower.
And you called her stupid multiple times.
- What does that have to do with the cost of tea
in China?
- I want to be able to be in the same room
as you and know, like, you're not going to be talking [bleep]
about me under your breath.
- You were literally in the same room.
You're just going to sit here and blame me.
- I'm not blaming you.
I'm just--
- We're not going to have a conversation
because you are blaming me. (ON) MACKENZIE: I'm not.
I'm trying to tell you--
I'm trying to tell you what happened.
I'm trying to tell you how I felt.
- You brought me here to be cordial and here we are.
- At the end of the day,
Morgan knows I'm friends with Ashley.
And she will never be cool with me.
And that's really where our problem stems from.
But she's not mature enough to say that to me
or try to work things out with me.
- I don't care about nothing you got going on.
- I'm glad.
- I don't have a problem with you.
- Yeah.
- But if it continues to get sticky,
then we're just going to all have to get sticked up.
- I get where you're [thunder cracks] oh.
I know where you're coming from.
- I'm not going to rip and run to go and be
friends with nobody who's kumbayaing and bestie, bestie,
bestie with Ashley.
So have a good one.
- You too, Morgan.
- Coming up on Basketball Wives Orlando.
- You look so pretty.
- Thank you.
The day is finally here.
It's the grand reopening of my store, ASC.
- Nice to meet you. (ON) ASHLEY: Thank you.
MORGAN: What happened at the Grand Opening?
- I just blacked out.
I was just like--
- Because you realized what type of woman
you were dealing with in that moment.
[upbeat music playing]
- My mom has nine kids, seven
being girls, two being boys.
My sisters Jada and Gwen are on my mom's side.
To see how they are growing up today, I'm proud,
but I also am a little concerned.
And how you guys?
- Hey.
- Y'all look cute.
I just was calling you guys because I had want to talk
to you guys about everything that happened
in the past few weeks and what you guys
leaving and going to Miami.
So in the last two weeks, my sisters ran away, went to Miami
and crashed the rental car.
When they crashed the rental, they called me
for their escape plan and I'm just like, why I always
got to clean up the mess?
I know it's a lot because mom, you kind of,
has went into her spiral a lot earlier in your guys'
life than mine, you know?
And you guys didn't get to see as much of mom,
as I got to see.
But I do want us to understand that what we've been through
is not who we are.
- (ON) JADA: Yeah.
Definitely, we got to stop making these poor decisions,
think more of in the long run and not in the moment.
Because even temporary happiness is not going to build you
no type of grounds to real happiness.
- I wanted you guys to know that I just don't want you
guys to feel like you guys have to make mistakes,
that we can help you and guide you guys through.
You know what I mean?
- Mm-hmm.
- My mom has recently been
going through a lot, mentally.
My brother has got murdered.
It's a lot to take in, not only for me, but for my family.
And I know this is affecting my little sisters because so
much affected me as a kid.
And I understand it.
But also, we are not what we go through.
We're what we make of it.
And they're not understanding that.
Are you guys open to coming out here
and visiting me for the summer?
- I am.
I definitely think what's the difference?
It's not like I'm taking a loss. Might as well try it.
You know? (OFF) GWENDOLYN: Yeah.
- Try a different environment,
different techniques, because I'm
not missing nothing out here.
So I would love to come spend the summer out there.
- Yes.
I'll send you guys your confirmation.
And I need you all to be on your best behavior.
No hoochie clothes, OK?
I need y'all to leave them attitudes at home, because I
know how you guys can get.
(SINGING) Yeah, we got one night only, put your money
where your mouth is, 'cause I don't think
you believe about [bleep].
One night only put your money where your mouth is,
and I'm going to show you how I bounce.
- The day is finally here.
It's the grand re-opening of my store, ASC.
It's been a long road to get here,
but I feel like I really earned this.
Drinks are flowing.
My guest list is full.
Let's go.
(SINGING) This is my show, eyes on me.
Got him hooked, had the light shine on my body.
Yeah, put your money where your mouth is.
Put your money where your mouth is.
Hi.
Do you like it?
- There she is.
What's happening?
- That's perfect.
You did good.
Yeah.
It came together. Hi, ladies.
How are you?
Thank you for coming.
Hi.
Did you meet Montana, yet?
- Hello, how are you doing?
- Doing OK.
- Hello, ladies.
- Hey. (ON) ASHLEY: Hi.
Nice to see you.
- You look so pretty.
- Thank you. Hi.
- How are you? (ON) ASHLEY: I'm good.
- I love your jumpsuit.
Now I don't feel so dressed up.
- Oh, Yeah.
I've haven't seeing those.
Are they comfortable?
- Slightly, but I'm preggers,
so nothing's really comfortable. (ON) ASHLEY: Congratulations.
- Thank you.
- Oh, my gosh, how far along are you?
- Oh, four months. (ON) ASHLEY: Good for you.
(SINGING) Top notch, like the first in the game,
got the whole world looking as they slay like,
na, na, na oh, oh, oh.
Na, na, na, oh, oh, oh.
This is turning out to be a classy event.
People mingling, sipping cocktails,
and sales are popping.
I think keeping the riff raff off the guest list
has served me well.
(SINGING) 'Cause you know that, can't nobody do it like this,
like this.
yeah.
Can't nobody do it this.
- Hi. Hey, girl congratulations.
- Thank you for coming.
- You're welcome.
- NIKKI: Nikki, welcome to Orlando.
- How are you? (ON) ASHLEY: Nice to meet you.
- How's everything been going so far?
- It's been good.
It's been really good.
MEHGAN: I was told that I could bring a couple people.
So I had invited Danielle.
So I don't know if it's OK if she's here or if she's not.
I don't know.
- I don't have anyone that I haven't invited--
- Oh, OK. (OFF) ASHLEY: Coming.
- OK.
- Like, so I invited you,
so you can bring a plus one.
I invited Nique, she can bring a plus one, like--
- Oh, OK. Well, it's fine.
I'll just let her know.
- I have no issues with her.
So if there's no issue--
- I don't have an issue.
But if she wants to speak to me, I'm open to speak to anybody.
- I know that bringing Danielle here
is problematic since Rashad, McKenzie's new boyfriend,
is Danielle's baby daddy.
But we all need to figure out how to be mature adults.
- But I have no issues with her,
so if there's no issue--
- I don't have an issue.
But if she wants to speak to me, I'm open to speak to anybody.
- Great. Wait.
Before you pull up, I need you to wait before you pull up.
- Girl, not to walk out.
What happened?
- So everything is in there is going well.
Everything is very nice and professional.
Mackenzie, she do want to talk to you.
So--
- We'll see.
- I want you to conduct yourself like a lady.
- Master's degree.
- Like a lady with a master's degree.
You ready? We about to walk in here.
- I'm ready.
Come on.
Is anybody buying anything?
Checking out?
- Let me-- you haven't met Ashley, right?
I don't know where she at.
Oh, there she is.
Ashley, this is Dani. (ON) ASHLEY: Hi.
- Hi, how are you? (ON) ASHLEY: Nice to meet you.
Let me stand up. (ON) DANIELLE: I'm fine.
- Nice to meet you. (ON) DANIELLE: Same to you.
- Well, enjoy. Feel free to have a drink.
And if you have any questions about stuff, just let me know.
- Got it. Cool.
I'll just look around.
- Beautiful.
- I feel awkward and on edge with Danielle
walking in because the only communication her and I have
had together prior to this, was her DMing
me on Instagram upset that Rashad and I were on a
trip together.
I just wish we weren't all in Orlando.
And I definitely wish we weren't in the same tiny ass
store together.
(SINGING) I got that girl power, I
got that pretty girl swag, high heels,
half court, that's my sweat.
- This is cute.
Hi, you guys.
- Thank you for coming.
- No problem. (ON) ASHLEY: Thank you.
- I just told them, this
is a whole different location, right?
- No, this is the same place you walked in.
- This looks so different.
But I just told them, this is very inspiring.
- I was like I think [inaudible]..
- Yeah.
I want a drink. (ON) ASHLEY: Oh, Yes.
Please.
- Yeah, I did want to get
the opportunity to meet you.
I appreciate you for allowing me into your space.
- Yes.
- You know, one of my great friends is Morgan.
And I definitely want to get to a point
where I create my own opinion about you.
- Thank you.
- you actually met Mackenzie in person?
Because she's here.
I would like to introduce you guys.
I feel like you guys need to sit down
and talk because I'm tired.
- I'm not going to no side bitch.
MACKENZIE: He said you'd try to call me that,
but all right.
- He should have told you.
He should have warned you.
- Ashley, save me-- save me in your phone
is side bitch.
- Yeah, please.
Please save her in there as side bitch.
Please.
That would be the best thing for her.
- A side bitch is someone who messes
with a man in a relationship. I've never done that.
- You want to hear-- you
want to see the screenshots?
Hear the audio?
MACKENZIE: I've never messed with a man
whose in a relationship.
- You want to hear the audio?
See the screenshots?
- I heard you on the phone--
- Because if you're not going to--
- Telling him you were going to come into this
calling me a side bitch.
- If you're not going
to start with accountability?
- So I'm already expecting you to say this.
- If you're not going
to start with accountability, then I don't want to hear it.
You were just me last year with Nique.
- I'm not doing any of this.
I'm not doing this.
I'll have a proper sit down and talk.
- I'm happy for y'all.
- But I'm not doing all this.
- He loves girls he can manipulate and lie to.
Me and Rashad talk every day.
(ON) MACKENZIE: That's amazing.
- You see that? What's that?
RV. RV.
You can see it for yourself.
RV.
I have no reason to lie.
Rashad tells me he loves me and I'm his world every other day.
He's a master manipulator.
RV.
- I mean, you have kids,
I would hope you talk every day. You have kids.
I would hope you talk every day.
- I would hope we do, too.
Probably just let you know you're not
going to bully me up out of a man's life
I've been with for eight years. (ON) MACKENZIE: I don't want to.
I want you in his life.
- And you're not going to stalk me.
MACKENZIE: I want you in his life.
- Like, you stalked me.
MACKENZIE: I don't want to bully you into anything.
- Like you stalking me.
- I'm not a bully.
- OK. All right.
Let's just-- I feel like--
I feel like you guys should sit down
and talk, but like, not here.
- When you calm down--
when you calm down, I would love to have
a conversation with you I don't have nothing against you.
I don't know you personally.
So-- (ON) ASHLEY: No, it's a wrap.
It's a wrap.
We're calling it.
It's a wrap.
- Bye, nice to meet you guys.
- I don't know what Meghan was thinking
bringing Danielle here.
I mean, she's Morgan's friend.
Well, thank you, everybody, for coming.
This was a very important event to me.
And I appreciate all of you that came
out and did not start drama.
And--
- Your favorite side bitch came out.
Thank you.
- I need a shot.
- You did your bit. You did.
Y'all went to town.
- She did her big one but Jesus Christ.
- Let's go.
- Hey, girl.
How you doing? (ON) MORGAN: Good, how are you?
- Good.
I brought you some wine.
- Yes, we're going to need it.
These last few weeks have been draining, but thank
God Danielle is here, somebody who's a real friend to me,
somebody who understands what I'm going through.
And also, she's going to bring a bottle of wine
over so we can cry our sorrows through a glass.
What happened at the Grand Opening?
- I did get the chance to talk to Ashley.
At first glance, she seems to be very nice and kind.
- Right.
- However, Meghan comes to me like,
oh, I think it's time for you to go sit down with Mackenzie.
And I'm like, girl, I'm not talking to no side bitch.
- Oh, you said side bitch?
- She yelled something from across the room
like, he told me you would say that.
And I just blacked out.
I was just like--
- Because you realize what type of woman
you were dealing with in that moment.
Mackenzie is the type of woman that will
believe what a man tells her.
Because her situation with Rashad is new,
she's going to go into this honeymoon phase.
She's in a love-bombing phase.
So right now, she's blinded.
- My emotions got the best of me.
I just felt like she didn't deserve my respect
in that space because in my mind,
you played side to me and my children's father
for quite some time.
So how could you not understand me, when you were just--
- She was just you last year with
the whole situation with Nique.
Don't cry, babe.
- I had to go overseas with him.
Like, I didn't want to do that.
- You were pregnant overseas by yourself, doing
everything that over here.
- I met Rashad, I was playing basketball.
I had a degree.
I was very career-driven.
I had to put a lot of my personal dreams and aspirations
to the side to support him and his career.
I went overseas with him.
I was about to risk like, losing my life to have
my daughter overseas, just so he could be there
to watch her like, be born.
And now you're dating a girl like, right in my face.
That [bleep] is disrespectful, especially
when we were just together a week before I got here.
DANIELLE: We know how it feels.
- Right.
I feel like I get labeled bitter,
I have been called a couple of times.
But a lot of the times when Eric and I are feuding,
it's always about the kids.
That is worth my emotion.
They are worth me fighting for.
And it hurts because it should be Eric
and I standing up for our children together.
But now I feel like it's Eric, Ashley,
Bri, lawyers, attorneys, everybody against me.
And then as soon as I explode, everybody want to say,
oh, she's-- (ON) DANIELLE: She's crazy.
- She's crazy.
Nobody really knows like, on the inside
how much I really am dealing with.
I am a single woman taking care of three kids.
It breaks my heart.
I don't even like, crying about it
because it made me feel weak.
I'm not weak.
I'm not weak for myself and I'm not weak for my kids.
It's heartbreaking to see like, everything we're
going through with them, Dani.
- I already know.
- Everything we gone through with them,
I never thought that like, this is where we would be.
Even if we didn't work out, we always promised each other
we would be there for our kids.
And in a way, I feel like I let them
down because now I'm watching them struggle every day.
And I'm watching my 12-year-old go to therapy three times
a week, like.
My kids don't deserve anything that they're going through.
The only thing that they should be worried about
is enjoying Christmas, enjoying birthday parties.
But instead, the only thing they're worried about
is when the next time they're going to see their dad, how
they're going to have to navigate between him
and I since we've separated.
I just feel like the only thing for children on this Earth
is to enjoy the walk of life.
Everybody has something to say about it.
Everybody.
Like, even Ashley, that was the end of our friendship,
because I was going through a divorce.
And now y'all friends?
I'm not used to friends like, turning their back on me
like that because I treat my friends with love and
respect, so.
- Some people don't know
like, what that level of loyalty looks like, you know?
So we can't expect people to ride
like we ride for each other.
It takes a certain type of person
to be loyal to you, no matter what.
It's really a personality trait that not everybody has,
certainly, not Ashley.
- For her to be talking to my ex behind my back
while we're in a child support battle--
- DANIELLE: Disrespectful.
It's starting to feel like it's two camps here in Orlando.
And you better believe I'm riding with Morgan
till the wheels fall off.
I'm just tired of it, like you said.
They don't know like, what it's like to be in our shoes.
But one day, you might.
- Next time on Basketball Wives Orlando.
- It would be way better if you
could just move here with me.
- I can't just pick up and leave.
Is this a pregnancy test?
- Boy, here, take it.
- Some people tell me, y'all bullies.
- Who said that we were bullies?
- Mulan and Nique.
- Hey, girl.
- Hi.
- We like to play Never Have I Ever.
- Never have I ever been fake.
- Her hair is literally always [bleep] up.
- Broke people got a lot of opinions.
