ROQUEL WEATHERS: Tonight is the night the world has been waiting for and I have too, tonight the boys of #theLIFE will sit down and hash out all of this seasons drama and yes honey the tea is being spilled tonight.
The scene opens up inside The Ritz Carlton hotel, Roquel is shown sitting in the middle while on the right side sits Chanel Snow, Isaiah Wolfe, Trinity Monroe, Legend Dior and Giovanni Weston and her left say Jaser Cruz, Riley Mitchell, Blair Wood, Jalen Holmes, and Miles Balenciaga.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Everyone looks great tonight, so fresh and clean. Hello everyone.
The casts all speaker their hellos.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: And lets not forget the remainder of the cast thatās joining us on the couches off the stage.
The scene cuts to the first couch where Hadrian Ali, Trazeno Barnes, Nasir Grant, Kaliyah Kane, Yeshua Banner and Richie Rich are shown while on the other couch sits Brittany Jea, LaLa St. Claire, Dallas Reed, Bryāan Tiller, Jaiden, Sean Williams, and JaĆØshon Wood. The cast speak their hellos as the scene cue back onto the stage.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Iām happy that everyone was able to join us today, now remember there will be no fighting allowed today. Letās sit here and talk and conduct ourselves like adults.
Chanel rolls her eyes.
CHANEL SNOW: Well speak that to the bum gang over there, their the ones that canāt seem keep their hands to themselves.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Oooh starting already Chanel.
CHANEL SNOW: No just speaking facts, if you notice every time we have a physical problems, itās because of the people on that side.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: But I think In certain situations you kind of provoke the fights Chanel, I mean your mouth isnāt the nicest on this couch, a lot of people sitting on this couch has been a victim to some of the stuff you say out of your mouth.
Chanel shrugs.
CHANEL SNOW: Not my problem if they canāt handle the truth about themselves.
JASER CRUZ: Can we get 5 mins in before you start with all that rah rah rah shit? Geez.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Speaking of the truth and the drama, it seems like this season you kind of stayed away from the drama besides the fights with Jaser and Riley.
CHANEL SNOW: Because I decided to focus more on my work, I was busy the whole year and when your booked, you donāt have the time to entertain other peopleās shenanigans.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: I was happy to see you and Trinity squash your beef, I mean you two were basically enemies last season.
CHANEL SNOW: People donāt know that Trinity and I actually had a real friendship before the show, we kind of had a falling out before the whole check incident and once that happen, shit just kind of went left.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Why did you lie about the check?
Chanel smirks.
CHANEL SNOW: I promised my sister that I wouldnāt speak about it because it was very damaging but I will say I was hurt and I reacted off pain. She knows Iām very sorry about the situation and we just decided to move on and get back to our friendship.
Roquel looks to Trinity
ROQUEL WEATHERS: How were you able to come back from all of this. Because honey itās no secret that it was apart of your contract that you wouldnāt film with Chanel. So we all gagged seeing you two go from where you were to living it up on a party bus with each other.
TRINITY MONROE: To be honest all I ever wanted was for her to sincerely acknowledge her wrong: and at that charity event was when I felt her being sincere for the first time and weāll leave it at that. Like she said we have moved on. The past is exactly where it should be. Itās about building a sisterhood not tearing it down.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Well itās good that you two decided to fix what was broken, good friends are hard to come by so when you do have one, hold onto them.
Chanel smiles grabbing Trinityās hand.
CHANEL SNOW: Sheās a great person so Iām just happy weāre getting back to what we use to be.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: I wish everyone could get along and fix broken friendships like you two, but speaking of broken friendships though whatās going on with you and Isaiah Chile? I remember seeing on the show that you two had a little quarrel, I was scared yāall was going to stop being friends.
CHANEL SNOW: Oh no thatāll never happen, Isaiah and I are family, like I got his back and he has mines.
ISAIAH WOLFE: True story.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: But Isaiah you were shady in your confessionals, I remember you calling Chanel messy.
ISAIAH WOLFE: I did yes and I apologized for making that comment but at the time I was angry. Look Iām Chanelās best friend so I understand there will be certain situations that I may not like. I met Giovanni and I was trying to show him that I wasnāt like some of the other messy guys he messed with and it was like Chanel would be involved in all these twitter battles and I always felt like I needed to have her back so when he saw me get involved, he was just ask me Why and I donāt know, I just felt like I needed too.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: But you do understand Chanel has to fight her own battles.
ISAIAH WOLFE: I get that but it wasnāt always a one on one fight, Jaser and his little minions would jump in and like double or triple team her and I wasnāt about to let that happen.
CHANEL SNOW: And I respected him for that, I felt bad that he was always getting pulled into my drama but that also showed me his loyalty, because no matter what he had my back and loyalty is big with me.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: I just donāt understand why this side doesnāt get along with the other side, I feel like if you all just set your differences aside and just came together you probably could all have a lot of fun.
Legend rolls his eyes.
LEGEND DIOR: I donāt party with snakes.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Wait, who's the snakes?
LEGEND DIOR: Itās a few snakes sitting over there on that couch, they know who they are.
Jalen rolls his eyes; he leans down making sure his sneakers is tie, dusting off his Saint Laurent jeans he looks back up and at Legend.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: The only person I know you have an issue with is Jalen, so when you add a S to the snake it means multiple people. Who else do you have a problem with on the couch?
LEGEND DIOR: Listen girl, you didnāt see me film with anyone on that couch over there except Jalen, the only time I saw them were at the parties other than that I was mostly with Chanel and Isaiah because they made the attempt to hang around me and be friends.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: So your saying that Jaser, Riley, Blair and Miles werenāt interested in filming with you.
LEGEND DIOR: I mean who knows, I donāt know why Jaser and Riley couldnāt hit me up, I mean we know each other and we kind of started this thing together.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Well why is that?
Roquel turns and looks at Jaser and Riley.
JASER CRUZ: Iām not the type to want to be around people that donāt fuck with me Iām not gonna put myself in a situation weāre I know Iām not wanted. More than someone like Chanel can say. Like he said Chanel and Isaiah were his homies. Hell they called themselves the mean girls and would do nothing but talk shit about us on radio shows and on twitter. They got some of the old heads to join in with them too like what the fuck. Then thereās the fact if we do hang how am I supposed to know itās genuine if youāre so close to them. Like if you wanted to be closer or whatever a phone goes both ways but you donāt hear us tripping.
Jaser shrugs. The camera goes over to Riley, with eyes on him waiting for his answer. He scrunches his face as if to say āwhat the hell y'all want from me?ā
RILEY: I don't know that nigga. And how am I supposed to he cool with someone whoās friends with people that don't like me? Where's the logic?
MILES BALENCIAGA: Well I know Legend from mutual friends in LA and he knows weāve never really been friends and thereās reasons behind that.
LEGEND DIOR: Reasons that are in the past.
MILES BALENCIAGA: And thatās fine but that doesnāt mean I have to sit around and KiKi with you, everyone on this stage know you're faker than the labels you got on boo, so we donāt even need to go there.
LEGEND DIOR: I mean we can if you want to and baby nothing on this body is fake, you got me mistaken for that hair you have on your fucking head and by the way the shaved head is so dead, new style bitch!
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Whoa! Wait a minute honey, what is going on here today?
LEGEND DIOR: Miles must be mad after the body we shared that day in LA, baby I canāt help the gay community is small and we was sharing the same community dick.
MILES BALENCIAGA: But you knew I was with him.
LEGEND DIOR: And so was the rest of LA but that didnāt stop you from being mad at only me and not them.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: So this is over a man that you both had?
MILES BALENCIAGA: Itās not necessarily about the guy, itās the fact that you knew he was in a relationship but you continued to mess with that person. Again we have mutual friends in LA so I would see Legend out at parties and he would smile all in my face and to me thatās just fake.
LEGEND DIOR: Miles has been trying to get on this show since it started, Levi told me you shopped your tryout tape to LA and got turned down, once you got the chance to get on this show, you went right to spilling peoples business just so you could secure a spot and now you want to bring up this mess? Miles you donāt want it with me baby, sit over there with your fake diamonds on and get your fifteen minutes because baby if itās another season Iāll be back, Iām sure youāll be a question mark.
JALEN HOLMES: Pathetic!
LEGEND DIOR: And Jalen you can keep your mouth shut playboy because you lucky they got this motherfucking security deep in this bitch because trust if you werenāt so protected your face would be on this floor right now.
Trapp stands up from the couch on the outside.
TRAPP: Chill fam.
LEGEND DIOR: And Trapp you not scaring anybody with your fake thug personality, baby you sitting on an openly gay show talking about you DL and kissing a ladyboy with pink hair so you chill fam.
Legend snaps his fingers, Trapp starts to walk towards the stage but security rushes up pushing him back towards the couch.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Look were not doing this tonight, I already told yāall. Legend you are snappy tonight.
LEGEND DIOR: Iām not snappy, Iām just not taking no shit from anyone. I mostly stayed to myself this season just because I didnāt want to get involved in any drama especially drama that didnāt deal with me.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Well that was kind of hard because of the issues you have with Jalen and his boyfriend Trapp.
LEGEND DIOR: Correction! I donāt have an issue with Trapp, he has one with me because I stomped his boyfriend out.
JALEN HOLMES: And thatās something you didnāt do, so donāt sit on this couch and lie.
LEGEND DIOR: Jalen everyone knows you canāt fight, you and your boyfriend. Didnāt yāall pull up with bodyguards? I guess yāall was scared Dallas was going to run up.
The cameras pan to Dallas in the audience. He chuckles shaking his head.
DALLAS REED: Leave me outta that shit man. Iām chilling.
JALEN HOLMES: Bullshit.
TRAPP: Let him talk that mess, just remember everything said on this stage will carry on after we leave the building and once we leave, itās on sight.
Legend fake faints on the couch, throwing his hand over his face.
LEGEND DIOR: Iām so tired of silly threats.
TRAPP: Yea whatever nigga.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Letās switch gears a little because I can sense this is going to turn into a heated situation. Mr. Dallas Reed, the troublemaker.
Roquel chuckles.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: You're definitely a fan favorite this season, but we also got some comments calling you Sneaky, Liar, Player, Homewrecker and Prostitute. Those are some harsh words donāt you think?
DALLAS REED: Canāt nobody who watch the show, and really watch the show call me no homewrecker. And I aināt bout to talk about that unless niggas finally gonna be real and own up to the parts they played. Niggas on papers...real papers because of a storyline. Fuck outta here.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: But Dallas donāt you see how your portrayed on the show? People are calling you a homie hopper because the fact you hooked up with Jalen, Legend, you had relations with Zeno and Trinity and being called a homewrecker for causing problems in Jalenās and Trappās relationship.
DALLAS REED: I donāt care how Iām portrayed. Who paying my bills? Me. Iām doing for me. So I answer to me. I did what any other single person would do. I got some cheeks. I aināt the only one fucking on this couch. Come on yāall letās be real. Whatās working with me having fun.
LEGEND DIOR: For the record Iām single, so whoeverās face I want to ride is my own personal business.
Dallas smirks, licking his lips.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Oooh, too much info Chile. Trinity what are your thoughts on whatās been going on with Dallas? I mean you two have a close relationship and Iām sure youāve sat down and tried to give him some advice.
TRINITY MONROE: weāve definitely remained close and I told him he needs help. But thereās only so much I can say. We no longer have that relationship where I can keep saving him. And he knows I say all of this with love.
JALEN HOLMES: Yea he needs a lot of fucking help and to stay out of my life.
Dallas chuckles, looking to Roquel
DALLAS REED: The last time yāall saw me talk to that boy on cam was the last time I talked to this nigga. I been told them I was done with this storyline. I donāt know what part of papers these niggas donāt understand. After the cameras stop rolling niggas lives still gotta go on. Iām not letting some created storyline fuck with my real life. Fuck out wit that
JALEN HOLMES: I blocked your number and decided to end all communication with you. Look I want Dallas to get help, we did share some personal conversations but he needs to accept the fact that I am with Trapp and thatās it.
TRAPP: Stop explaining yourself to this clown.
DALLAS REED: I got ya clown playboy.i keep tryna tell you. This aināt what you want man.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Okay, listen weāre not about to go back and forth right now about that, weāll get to it later but yāall need to chill with the aggression.
Roquel takes one of the cards in her hand and starts fanning herself.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: So I do want to ask about Zeno, Hadi and Dallas and I know itās a sensitive topic but I just want to know what happened with that whole thing? At one point Zeno and Dallas shared the same bed with Trinity and then this whole issue started, was it because of the breakup?
DALLAS REED: who you asking?
ROQUEL WEATHERS: I wanna hear from all of of yāall. But it would have to start with you. You have attacked both of these men. You were all over the blogs in TMZ youāre on video throwing a brick through Zenoās window. Chile you were angry! Where did this all come from.
DALLAS REED: To be honest I just never trusted Hadrian. I aināt never trusted a nigga that couldnāt even be real wit hisself. He brought his whole bitch on the show but behind her back tryna bring back old flings wit my nigga.
The camera follows Hadrian, who unexpectedly responds to Dallas.
HADRIAN ALI: Now first things first, patna. I may have not wanted to bring out any of this ābeefā between you and me this season, but I ain't gonna be tolerating you calling women no ābitchesā, mane, especially Jasmine. Real talk.
TRAZENO BARNES: Itās not even worth it yo. Just chill.
DALLAS REED: Oh come on. You know what the fuck I meant. No disrespect to Jas. But if anybody was on the outside looking in that whole shit just looked sus.
JALEN HOLMES: Oh boo hoo cry me a river, like take accountability of your own issues and stop blaming other people.
DALLAS REED: for somebody to want me to stay out their life. Why the fuck you so invested in mind. Chill shorty.
JALEN HOLMES: I mean we all have to sit on this stage and listen to your miserable life story, youāre not that interesting my nigga.
DALLAS REED: Leave the questions to the professionals. Just like you not booking no modeling gigs, interview hosting aināt for you either. But nice try.
LEGEND DIOR: Jalen is really feeling himself tonight, he should probably calm down before he gets himself hurt.
TRAPP: No one touching Jalen, trust!
DALLAS REED: look at his bodyguard!
Dallas bursts out laughing
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Everyone is staying in their seats thatās whatās happening tonight. So explain this papers situation, why are you on papers Dallas? Chile those mugshots was coming out the woodwork, you really are a bad boy.
DALLAS REED: Well as yāall saw on the show, after me and Trapp fought at Miles party we both got arrested. But I had priors before all this. So I had to do real timeā¦. over a hired boyfriend. Yāall think this shit is a game. Thatās why Iām chillin. These niggas tryna keep their spots if the show comes back. Iām an original my spot is solidified. Iām not bout t keep dancing in front of these cameras to help nobody build a character.that's played. And I wouldnāt say Iām a bad boy. Just made some mistakes
TRAPP: Ha hired boyfriend though? You really want my spot that bad huh? The funny thing is yāall niggas need this shit, I donāt. I only came on this show because Jalen asked me too, I was handling my business out in these streets where yāall fake niggas canāt last a second in.
JALEN HOLMES: Facts!
TRAPP: So he can talk all that bullshit if he wants, but understand Iām a real ass nigga and donāt give a fuck about this TV shit, Iām sitting feet away from this nigga and if he was about that life he would run up. Keep ya ass out of them jail cells my nigga then you wouldnāt have a reason to be scared.
Dallas: Just like you got every open option to run up. Iām confused. Aināt u sitting in ya seat too? Exactly! You and ya nigga both just sit and lie and run yāall fuckin mouth. Shut ya bitch ass up for a change. Wasnāt you talking to me Hadi and Zeno Roquel?
ROQUEL WEATHERS: yāall do understand violence doesnāt solve anything right?
TRAPP: But itāll knock some sense into a nigga, but he all talk though.
Dallas: how dumb does it look for a nigga doing nothing but talking, complaining about somebody talking? Haha the real joke.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: I donāt think yāall will ever squash your issues, itās to real.
TRAPP: Nah, I donāt run with rats yo, fuck that nigga.
DALLAS REED: Aināt shit to squash. The only time I ever see this nigga is on camera. Again. Fuck their storyline. I donāt even address them anymore. You do know how long ago all of this was right.. Chile...bye
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Thatās terrible, we need to move onto something positive and get away from all this negative energy. I was excited to see Richie Rich join the show, and shocked to see who he was kicking it. So you got some explaining to do boy, what the hell has been going on?
Richie Rich laughs.
RICHIE RICH: Ha, as you can see a lot has been going on.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Yes honey, and I need all the tea. But before we start talking about this fine gentleman beside you, what happened with Yosef?
RICHIE RICH: I think we were just better off as friends, once we got into a relationship it was like things were just moving way too fast and I couldnāt handle it.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: When you did the radio show with London you talked about not wanting to ruin any marriages, the only marriage I could possibly think about is Brandon and Drakes.
Richie Rich laughs.
RICHIE RICH: And Iāll stand by what I said, Iām not here to ruin or cause any problems in anyoneās marriage. But Yosef was very sneaky and to be his friend before his lover I just felt like that wasnāt right.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: So how did you meet Yeshua?
RICHIE RICH: It was an industry party but it was so awkward how we met.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Well I want details, but I want Yeshua to tell me.
YESHUA BANNER: Ha putting me on the spot huh? Nah but just like he said we was at this party, and I peeped him when he walked in and kind of already knew who he was. I wanted to holla at him on some video shit but we started talking and we talked about everything, started kicking it with each other and then we just kind of formed this little bond for real.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Awe sounds like love.
YESHUA BANNER: Ahhh.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: No one ever expected you to like men, so do you still like women?
YESHUA BANNER: I love women, but I have an attraction to dudes and for the longest time I hid that shit. Richie Rich was the one who kind of helped me be more comfortable with it, on some real shit heās the first nigga Iāve ever messed with.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Oh so Richie Rich popped that cherry huh?
YESHUA BANNER: Oh fuck nah, I stay on top of things around this bitch.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Ha, Iām only messing with you. Iām here for you two though, I thought it was cute seeing yāall together. But Richie Rich how did you end up on the show?
RICHIE RICH: It just happened, the producers found out I was doing work in ATL and just came to me with the idea, I thought why not.
MILES BALENCIAGA: Girl, he begged to be on the show.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Wait What?
MILES BALENCIAGA: Richie Rich asked if he could be on the show, after he found out I was on the show.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Miles you have issues with everyone on this stage low key, you are truly the new Chanel.
CHANEL SNOW: Oooh shade.
RICHIE RICH: I didnāt begged anyone, production approached me and at first I declined because I found out Miles was going to be on the show. But then I thought to myself I wasnāt about to let this boy stop my bag, so I called them back and said I would do it.
MILES BALENCIAGA: Delusional.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Where does your two issues stem from?
RICHIE RICH: I was picked over Miles for a fashion event and heās been salty since.
MILES BALENCIAGA: I mean when your fucking the director then of course thatāll happen. Baby Richie Rich sits on that couch acting all innocent and shit but heās a snake deep down inside. He doesnāt care about anyone but himself.
RICHIE RICH: Thatās not true.
MILES BALENCIAGA: He needed a coin because he not booking fashion shows and magazines anymore so #theLIFE happily employed his broke struggling ass.
ISAIAH WOLFE: You got so much mouth tonight.
GIOVANNI WESTON: Chill Isaiah.
ISAIAH WOLFE: Nah Iām not going to chill because Miles is being really disrespectful. I donāt understand how you can sit back and agree with his actions here and all season.
GIOVANNI WESTON: Thatās my friend, not my son.
MILES BALENCIAGA: Isaiah we can go if you want because baby you know I got all the dirt on your burning ass.
ISAIAH WOLFE: A bunch of lies.
MILES BALENCIAGA: Baby you burning my best friend and sleeping with DelontĆØ is not lies, donāt play yourself.
GIOVANNI WESTON: Yoooo Chill The fuck out Miles.
ISAIAH WOLFE: Check your fucking friend Gio before I walk over there and slam my fist in his mouth.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: This went all the way to the left, I am
Gagging Chile, burning? Wait what?
MILES BALENCIAGA: Gio called my phone maybe a month after them two started dating and told me that he had to go to the emergency room because his dick was burning and that Isaiah gave him syphilis.
Isaiah jumps up from the couch rushing towards Miles but Gio jumps up grabbing his arm. Security rushes to the stage both standing in front of each couch making sure no one gets up. Riley was seen holding his gut letting out a good ol laugh while Jaser holds his mouth with a shocked look on his face.
JASER CRUZ: Omg you let him get away with that?
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Now Riley! You and Isaiah had some kind of history where y'all were cool. Are you really just going to laugh at him right now over this?
RILEY: I sure the fuck am! After all his mouth this season, this shit is hilarious. I'm not laughing at him spreading it, just at the twist at him having it after trying to pin ho shit on other people. So, what is the truth Giovanni?
JASER CRUZ: Yo wtf!
MILES BALENCIAGA: Giovanni donāt sit there and say you didnāt tell me that.
GIOVANNI WESTON: Why are you doing this here?
MILES BALENCIAGA: Because Iām not about to let your fucking boyfriend walk out here and act like heās the victim, heās a hoe and everyone in Atlanta had a piece.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: So how do you know that he smashed DelontĆØ?
MILES BALENCIAGA: Because DelontĆØ said the two had sex, I know DelontĆØ because Iāve styled him and Iāve hung out with him personally and he told me this information.
ISAIAH WOLFE: So yāall just sitting around talking about me?
MILES BALENCIAGA: I mean we were talking about everyone, I told him I had just joined the show and when your name was brought up, he said he fucked you and then that same night you went home and had sex with my best friend.
ISAIAH WOLFE: You are such a fucking liar, like I wonāt sit on this stage and listen to this bullshit without putting my hands on him.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Well DelontĆØ couldnāt be here tonight but we did have him do a lie detector test and I have the results with me right now.
Roquel pulls out an envelope from side of her, she opens the envelope and starts reading the piece of paper.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: When It was asked if you and DelontĆØ had sex, he openly admitted to the lie detector test that you two indeed had sex.
Giovanniās mouth opens in shock. Riley is again seen cackling while sinking in his seat.
GIOVANNI WESTON: You gotta be fucking kidding me, this is a fucking joke.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: No joke.
ISAIAH WOLFE: Look ok we did hook up, but that shit was way before Giovanni, we werenāt even official yet and I donāt know it just happened.
MILES BALENCIAGA: See I told you he was lying.
ISAIAH WOLFE: But that other shit is lies though Miles, I donāt know what you think your doing but you playing with people's lives and I donāt like that shit.
MILES BALENCIAGA: What happens in the dark eventually comes to life so be lucky I helped expose your demons, my best friend deserved to know he was dating a hoe. You over here calling Jaser and Riley all types of hoes and whores but you out here doing the same thing.
RILEY: Oh, look. Isaiah getting worked up and ready to fight over a rumor and feeling completely in the right. Where have I seen this before? Y'all, know what the word āhypocrite' means right?
JASER CRUZ: Now Iām not a religious man but he just gave us the sermon of all sermons.
ISAIAH WOLFE: Their irrelevant at this point, my life is way different than those two.
JASER CRUZ: The gag of it all that while you were sitting there on your high horse calling me and my friend out of our names you were the one actually doing the dirt. Youāre a whole ass joke nigga I canāt.
RILEY: The only difference is you were fucking other niggas but felt the need to lie about it. And for what? I mean...I like to have fun but I was always upfront with mine. Hell, there might be some truths to Milesā whole story. Trifling and dirty as fuuuuuuck.
Jaser And Riley both laugh holding each other playfully
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Well Wait I want to hear from Giovanni.
GIOVANNI WESTON: I donāt even know what to say honestly, Isaiah swore up and down he had no dealings with this dude but now all of sudden he wants to admit that he did in fact fuck this nigga. Like what else are you hiding from me?
MILES BALENCIAGA: Atlanta is small baby, business travels fast.
ISAIAH WOLFE: Maybe you should stay out of people's business, like live your own life.
MILES BALENCIAGA: Iām a blogger honey, yāall business is my job, stop being so damn messy then maybe I wonāt have anything to report on you about.
ISAIAH WOLFE: A fake blogger, get a real a job.
MILES BALENCIAGA: Baby how about you get a real job and stop living off Daddyās coin and this show.
ISAIAH WOLFE: I model and host parties.
MILES BALENCIAGA: And whoever hires you to host their parties is a fool.
ISAIAH WOLFE: At least I get gigs, something a few of yāall on this stage canāt get.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Oh youāve been hanging around Chanel way too long.
CHANEL SNOW: Oh he learned from the best.
Chanel snaps her fingers, flipping her hair to the side.
MILES BALENCIAGA: And thatās his problem, he needs his own identity.
ISAIAH WOLFE: I got one and it seems like your very much infatuated with it because you canāt seem to keep my name out your mouth.
MILES BALENCIAGA: Baby donāt flatter yourself, your a typical run thru of Atlanta, niggas pull up, run thru that ass and bounce.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Miles you are on a roll tonight Chile, i canāt keep up with all this shade and tea your spilling.
ISAIAH WOLFE: I mean heās obviously angry about something.
MILES BALENCIAGA: Yes I hate the fact that heās dating my best friend when I know the type of person he is. I told Giovanni that he needed to watch out for Isaiah and take it slow, the boy is just drama.
ISAIAH WOLFE: Miles you donāt know me, and thatās real. I think heās just mad Giovanni isnāt fucking him because itās clear that your in love with him.
MILES BALENCIAGA: Thatās my best friend, you sound crazy.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Giovanni, do you think Miles is in love with you?
GIOVANNI WESTON: Thatās not the first time Iāve heard someone tell me that, but I donāt believe it myself.
MILES BALENCIAGA: We have been friends a very long time and i never once looked at him like that. Iām very overprotective of him which is why I donāt like that heās with Isaiah.
ISAIAH WOLFE: Well get over it because Iām not going anywhere.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: I hope you two can work out your differences, you have to understand that if Isaiah and Giovanni are going to be together then you two will have to get along.
ISAIAH WOLFE: Not really.
MILES BALENCIAGA: Iām not interested.
RILEY: Don't even bother. Isaiah can't even get through a simple sit down without trying to get his lil digs in. It'd be a waste of time really.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Yes I can see that, moving on. We saw another new face join the cast of #theLIFE and even though he was new, he was still a familiar face.
Roquel looks at Sean Williams.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: We dealt with rumors in the past about you joining the show but that was the LA franchise, so why ATL?
SEAN WILLIAMS: At that time when they offered me to be on LA it just wasnāt good timing for me. I had other things going on and I couldnāt commit to the schedules they had for me. But for the past year Iāve been living in Atlanta because after my mom and my son moved back from London, instead of coming to LA she chose ATL.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: So production comes knocking on your door and what happens?
SEAN WILLIAMS: London thought it would be good for me to be on the show, to get myself back out there and just reintroduce me back into the world. Iāve never really been private about my life, at one point my name was always in the blogs so me being able to show the world what my life was really like made me want to do it more.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: So we got to see Vincent Banks on the show, And you two kind of reconcile I hear.
SEAN WILLIAMS: We did.
Sean pauses, blushing a little.
SEAN WILLIAMS: But itās nothing like that, weāre working on our friendship and everythingās been great so far.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Do you two plan on getting back together?
SEAN WILLIAMS: We havenāt talked about it, but itās weird because when weāre out together, we kind of find ourselves acting like weāre a couple and thatās weird to me.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: It was great seeing you on the show and having you around, i also noticed that you didnāt really interact with anyone else on the show.
SEAN WILLIAMS: Itās nothing against them but I really didnāt know anyone else so for me itās was no reason to sit around and have fake scenes. I wouldnāt be against meeting these people and maybe forming friendships but the opportunity never presented itself. Now since the show has aired, I have hung around a few of these guys off camera and we have great relationships.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Iām curious who?
SEAN WILLIAMS: Well I know Richie Rich from modeling shows weāve done together, Iāve met Jaser a few times because of mutual friends we have and I just recently hosted a gig in Virginia with the Wood Brothers and we had fun.
JAĆSHON WOOD: Yes we did.
SEAN WILLIAMS: But again I wouldnāt mind hanging out with the other men in this group. I think everyone brought something different to the show and everyone has their own personality and I like that.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: What do you think about the fighting on the show?
SEAN WILLIAMS: I mean itās sad, even if you feel like itās needed itās still sad to see. Some of these dudes on this stage are savages and I could really see yāall hurting someone. I just hope it never gets that serious.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Thank you Sean, I feel so bad because my boo Blair over here playing with his dreads. Baby we didnāt forget about you boo!
Roquel smiles, showing off her beautiful white teeth and smile.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: When we first saw you Blair, you were dealing with Trinity and then hanging with LaLa, fighting with Hadi and getting upset with your brother for telling his personal business on television so we can all say youāve had quite the season too.
BLAIR WOOD: itās definitely been a lot. To say the least.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: So breakdown this timeline with you and Trinity because I feel like yāall dated for one episode and then next thing I know your kicking it with LaLa.
BLAIR WOOD: Trini and I dated off season. We dated for a few weeks. I mean It was me and Jae. We were at some party and I saw a beautiful woman. At the time I didnāt know what i was. I just thought she was an attractive female. So when she told me I was kinda bugged out but Iām intrigued at the same time.
TRINITY MONROE: He brushed me off at first. He was like naaaaah! I canāt fade! He was so gagged.
BLAIR WOOD: I was! I donāt wanna sound disrespectful but she was badder tha most bitches that was born that way. So I kept her number and we eventually kicked it. But I donāt think I was ready for her. Trini was like already together. Established. The whole nine. Iām just tryna make it out here. I just wasnāt really her speed. But itās all love. She actually introduced me to La.
LALA ST. CLAIRE Yea and I almost wanted to return to sender.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Why would you say that.
LALA ST. CLAIRE Blair is just a piece of work. Itās all love
ROQUEL WEATHERS: What's going on with you and LaLa now?
BLAIR WOOD: I mean you wanna handle that la? Or should I?
LALA ST. CLAIRE Blair still struggles with the idea that I am a trans woman who is fine with being pre op. Iām not in a rush to go under the knife. But as of right now I mean we still kick it. We donāt have no titles but he donāt deny this pussy cat
BLAIR WOOD: donāt put it like that. Itās more than just that.she just gotta understand that this is all new to me. But Iām trying and I rock with her. Itās not like Iām hiding her from anybody.on national tv. Itās just an adjustment.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: So why did you get upset with JaĆØshon for opening up to you about his past life in prostitution?
BLAIR WOOD: Wouldnāt anybody? I just felt like that shit was so out of nowhere and I just felt like with all the cameras around it was just too much. I guess Iām a lil bit more private than everybody else. But I guess I did sign up for a reality show so.
JAĆSHON WOOD: I could understand why he was upset, maybe that was something I should have prepared him for before just bringing it up on TV. But I was also thinking about how I could help someone else by sharing my story.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: To me Blair doesnāt seem like the type that likes to share feelings or be put in uncomfortable situations. I mean look at how he handled the situation with meeting Hadi, JaĆØshon was so opened to the idea while Blair was against it.
BLAIR WOOD: I guess you can say Iām introverted. You see I was really only ever with my girl or my brother. And some shit just aināt for cameras. At least in my eyes.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Hadi, how did it make you feel knowing that Blair did not want to meet with you, while JaĆØshon was more open and welcoming to you?
HADRIAN ALI: I'll admit. I wanted to know why Blair didnāt want to meet with me, but I didn't let it faze me, because I was still adamant about meeting up with my brothers. I was set on it after hearing that they lived here in Atlanta.
BLAIR WOOD: I guess at the time I just felt like nobody tried hard enough. But thatās on me too.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Where does you two relationship stand now?
BLAIR WOOD: Well that night, after we all met at the diner, I called my dad. And I asked him to tell me the truth. And he just came out and told me. That shot was kinda wild cuz all these years I always was close with him and I thought he was the perfect person. But after that I was kinda fucked up so I wanna apologize to both my brothers for not being there for them and just blindly following our dad.
HADRIAN ALI: I'll take the blame for not being honest with yall at that time. I was still at that beginner's stage.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: JaĆØshon Why was it so easy for you to open up and let Hadi in?
JAĆSHON WOOD: Iām all about family, so no matter what happened I just wanted us to all get along. I understood why Blair was against it though and he had every reason to be, but I just wanted him to get past that and just try to have a relationship with Hadi.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Where do you and Hadi stand now with your relationship?
JAĆSHON WOOD: I mean heās my big brother, so Iām slowly learning him so far everythingās been cool between us.
HADRIAN ALI: Yeah, weāve been able to connect more often than what yall seen on the show. Just some things he felt like discussing in private that he didnāt want everybody to see or hear.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: I mean family is important and you guys are real family, even if you have to take it slow you guys should really work on building a relationship.
Roquel looks at Kaliyah Kane.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: The beautiful Kaliyah Kane, what is going on girl?
KALIYAH KANE: Nothing much, just keeping my promise and making my appearance to show that my words do hold weight that I would be here tonight. You know I had to support my loved ones tonight.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Babygirl what brought you to this ratchet ass show?
KALIYAH KANE: To be honest, when I reconnected with Jase after all of this time and saw what he was putting up with on the show, i definitely wanted to get on here just to be close by. And without even knowing my connection to him, it didnt take time for the hate to roll about me asap from a certain Pokemonās mouth.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Well baby you definitely brought the spice and the sexiness to the show. I lived for your styles and how humble you were.
KALIYAH KANE: Why thank you, thatās greatly appreciated for real. Most times I really just kept it together because sometimes you gotta fight negativity with positivity. But then other times you gotta let your haters know that they can get that blow back anytime if they asking for it.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Were you nervous when the cameras came around? Iām sure your use to being in front of the camera but in a situation like this It had to be a little different unless youāve done reality before.
Chanel laughs sarcastically.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Whatās funny Chanel?
CHANEL SNOW: I mean I donāt understand why we are wasting time on an extra? Why is she even out here on the stage when she should be backstage grabbing us drinks, waters, something else.
KALIYAH KANE: And thiiiiis is exactly why she in the hot seat now, wanna be running that mouth of hers but crying victim. Dont worry, boo Ima make you a victim soon enough but let me get back to these questions though. Anywaysā¦ I will say it was different being filmed for a reality show because Iām not used to cameras being on me as much as they are when its required for a show. I do my photo shoots and its a wrap, I film my music videos with the choreo and the scenes and its over with. Cameras catch me on stage shining and grinding and then thats it.. But with a reality show, the cameras are more on you following your every move throughout the day so itās definitely a very different experience for me. Sure the paparazzi be out for blood tailing you but you can lose them. With reality shows, they gotta be there filming you and not going nowhere. Now back to this scrub, I do wanna know whats your deal with me tho...
ROQUEL WEATHERS: What is your issue with Kali? Is it because sheās friends with Jaser?
CHANEL SNOW: If she chooses to hang around trash then thatās her business, but it has nothing to do with her relationship with that bum.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: So whatās the problem?
CHANEL SNOW: I didnāt like some of the stuff she said about me, and then she hopped her ass in my business with Jaser when she shouldnāt have so once she got involved then she felt my wrath.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: That is her family, and I do remember that you didnāt have anything to say nice about her from the beginning.
KALIYAH KANE: First of all, you did an interview and trashed me ASAP soon as I was announced for the show so don't start with the, you didn't like what I said about you because they were in response to what you said about ME when you started all of this off. Secondly, you damn right Ima get involved when it comes to Jase because that's my fam and nobodyā¦. Maleā¦ womanā¦ ITā¦ will NEVER get off with disrespecting him like that.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Well you know Iām not a fan of violence and Kali your boyfriend did make some harmful threats towards Chanel and some of the other casts which is another reason we have security so tight tonight, what do you have to say about his actions? I understand heās defending you but to make those type of threats.
CHANEL SNOW: Heās a clown just like his bitch.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Chanel, let Kali answer the question please.
KALIYAH KANE: Watch ya mouth, bitch. But Ms. Roquel, D is just very overprotective of me. He doesnt appreciate a grown ass man wearing his mommaās silky panties tryna come for me especially when I never even did anything to him, herā¦ IT in the first damn place to warrant those smart ass starting responses from day one. The King protects his Queen and vice versa and ima need you to watch my manās MMA fights before you fix your lips to ever call him a clown. Heās one of the best and you dont wanna see him in no streets so you betta chill on that, big bird.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: To be honest Chanel you really donāt have a reason to have an issue with Kali except the fact sheās friends with Jaser but this beef is petty and it could lead to something dangerous if yāall donāt kill the noise now.
CHANEL SNOW: Tell her to get off my show, no ratchet hoes allowed.
KALIYAH KANE: What about me is ratchet really? Are you that simple minded that all you can do is call people ratchet.. brokeā¦ poorā¦ hoes? Pretty ridiculous that you have to constantly SCREAM and SHOUT that this is your show but meanwhile, this aint Muppets Central.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Chanel please cut it out. Anyway Kali, speaking of your boyfriend though, tell us a little about him and where you guys are today?
KALIYAH KANE: Well as you can seeā¦ heās definitely willing to ride for yours truly and heās very loyal. Right now, we keep busy schedules so we dont see each other as much as we used to but thatās going to change soon once our schedules straighten out. Even though the world sees that aggressive and hardbodied side of him, he actually has a very sweet and romantic side to him. We have had our downs but what relationship doesnāt? Heās the one for me and Ima always hold him down. Next month is the big day and although I have a bit of wedding jitters, Iām pretty excited and anxious for us to finally make it down the aisle.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Youāre friends with Trapp and it seems like you two have a real genuine friendship, tell me a little about that?
KALIYAH KANE: One of the things I love about Trapp is his huge heart and how considerate he is. When something is wrong, he actually sits back and thinks about things in a way to think things through and if you need someone to talk to, he tries to be there for you one way or another. I can always count on him to be straight with me with the honesty, serving me that straight shoota with no chaser when it comes to speaking his mind.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: So as a friend if you could give your friend some advice, what would you say to Trapp about his current situation with Dallas and Jalen?
KALIYAH KANE: I just wanna tell him that heās a real one for sticking it through with Jalen and holding him down, no matter how messy things get. He always says everything in the dark comes to light and it always does, the biggest thing is trying to figure out what to do once it does. In life, youāre always going to be faced with obstacles, with trials and tribulations but if you trust in God and believe in his word, youāll always make it through it.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: It seems like you know a lot when it comes to having good friendships and relationship. You and Jaser also are close friends too, correct?
KALIYAH KANE: Jase is actually my fam. Its one of those things we just kept underwraps when I joined the show to not give our connection away but there was no way I was about to let Chanel get away with coming for me and ESPECIALLY coming for Jase too.
CHANEL SNOW: Awe two fake ass friends together, isnāt that sweet?
KALIYAH KANE: Bitch, close it before I close it for you.
JASER CRUZ: Next to Riley she knows me the best. We like literally grew up together no lie. Sheās family. The bond we got that trash over there wish he had.
CHANEL SNOW: Yāall both some bums, like I said before please let these two go because they make the show look bad.
KALIYAH KANE: You been makin the show look bad with your trash ass wigs and walking around in those Payless heels showing off them chicken legs of yours.
CHANEL SNOW: Girl shut your fake ass up, your hairs fake, your relationship is fake, your whole existence is fake.
KALIYAH KANE: HOW is my WHOLE GENUINE ENGAGEMENTā¦ FAKE? Weāre going to reach two years of being together this year, we didnt randomly get together months ago to film for a show for a storyline, how dumb can you be? Existence cant be fake if Iām sitting here real as day in front of your face, you walking trainwreck. But you know what? Iām done talkin...
Kaliyah jumps up from couch, rushing pass security, she hops on stage and lunges for Chanel, she screams out as she connects with a punch knocking Chanel backwards. Security rushes the stage grabbing Kaliyah by the arms yanking her away from Chanel who at the points is trying to jump off the couch. Jaser is shown jumping up and getting restrained by security as well.
KALIYAH KANE: NOW WHO FAKE NOW, YOU WEAK ASS BITCH!!!
CHANEL SNOW: FIRE HER ASS. SHE'S A BUM!
KALIYAH KANE: GOT MORE MONEY THAN YOU, HOE!!!
CHANEL SNOW: FUCK YOU HOE.
JASER CRUZ: WATCH YA MOUTH PUNK ASS BITCH! Yāall better get your hands off my fucking cousin!.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Kaliyah we advise you that fighting was prohibited sweetie and sadly I have to ask you to leave the stage.
KALIYAH KANE: Oh trust me itās fine, I said all I had to say, Iāll kindly leave the premises with a smile on my face knowing how i kept ALL them promises. Told you I was going to lay hands on you, bitch.
CHANEL SNOW: I got something for you hoe, just watch.
KALIYAH KANE: You aint got nothin for me but your weak ass threats, I handled mine today.
Security escorts Kaliyah off the stage and backstage, the scene cuts back to the stage where Roquel is shown shaking her head.
JASER CRUZ: See thatās the shit I been saying about that hoe over there. Heās a instigator. From day 1 whoās caused this much shit with all the lying and shit talking? One common denominator. That Hoe Over There. You lied on your āclose friendā saying she stole $5k from you. Like youāre trash. You and your little mutt over there where spreading rumors and lying on mine and my friends character yet the whole time yāall where the dirty ones. Literally dirty dick and all, Fido over there couldnāt keep it to himself. Hypocrite ass frauds.
Rileyās laughing calms down as he comes back in grooving his shoulders and singing to the tune of Yo Gottiās āJuiceā.
RILEY: š¶D-R-I-P-P-I-N-G. Nigga got some hot sauce dripping out that D. He got that Syph. He got that itch. Gave it around. Ain't that a bitch?š¶
JASER CRUZ: Now thatās just rude. I live!
Jaser starts laughing and humming along to Riley.
CHANEL SNOW: Sheās hilarious just like both of yāalls career.
Chanel flips her hair to the side unbothered by Kaliās attack.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Look letās move on. Mr. Riley sir, itās time for the hot seat. This season you were all the way turnt, you really spoke your mind this season.
RILEY: Uhm... - haha, I wouldn't say ALL-all the way. When I signed on I made an effort to just mind my business and not get involved with any drama because I didn't want any around me whatsoever. But what went down last season and on Twitter and this season with all the shots being taken, it all kinda got to me and I couldn't really bottle up my emotions anymore like I normally do. Which isn't healthy anyway, I think.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: How did you enjoy filming this season?
RILEY: Aside from dealing with ignorant, lying, loud & wrong niggas? It was fine.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: This season you kind of introduced a new friend to us, Lee? Can you explain your relationship with Lee?
Riley lowers his head, hiding a smile. The camera cuts to JaĆØshon rolling his eyes.
RILEY: I met Lee a little after the first season ended. We met up and talked about random shit like anime, movies and making music, since he was studio engineer and had more experience than I did. I feel bad now because he didn't want to do the show, but the cameras had to follow me around and eventually catch him too. Which is why his ass is over there choosing not to say anything.
Riley laughs a lil bit as Lee shrugs with a smile on his face.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: From The Look on JaĆØshonās face he looks a little annoyed, you were pursuing a relationship with JaĆØshon so donāt you think your connection with Lee would affect your growing relationship with JaĆØshon?
RILEY: Well...here's the thing, I was honest with JaĆ© on what my relationship with Lee is. He and I are business partners and friends, obviously with some benefits. I don't know if JaĆ©ās feelings have changed but he was cool with that at the start.
ISAIAH WOLFE: Ha, you canāt turn a hoe into a house husband.
RILEY: And you can't cure a disease without spreading it first?
CHANEL SNOW: Nah you should have said wife because he is a bitch.
RILEY: Says the nigga in fishnets and run-over heels.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Yāall Chill.
RILEY: IāM cool. I'm only reacting to the bullshit.
JASER CRUZ: Literally all we do when it comes to those clowns over there.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Chanel did mention this season that you were attending sex anonymous classes because you may have a sex addiction, I mean last season you were caught up in that mess with Isaiah and your ex and now this season you're involved with Lee and JaĆØshon.
CHANEL SNOW: I mean hey itās the truth, he has a problem and I heard his sex wasnāt even all that great.
ISAIAH WOLFE: BIBLE!
RILEY: But had you laying up on my couch and bed hawking me for a relationship. We got a whole season to look back on how you was sprung before you morphed into Chanelās mini me, so lie again if you want to. - But look, when I was younger I spent a whole year, or maybe even two, staying committed and loyal to my ex, Khalil, while he was out sleeping with every dude and chick that would open their legs for him. Then he would make ME feel bad for trying to leave him and meet other people. So for all that time I was under his thumb like some stepford whenever he called and it eventually got me locked up trying to cover for his ass. So when my cousin got me out that I made it a mission to have fun and just live! Catch up on those months I spent being a fucking prisoner. Bobby Brown said āi don't see nothing wrong with spreading myself aroundā. My prerogative. I just make sure I'm always safe and all cards are on the table tho.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Let's switch gears for a second, you expanded your resume this season for the life by introducing a soundtrack and working with some of the artist on the show, tell me how that came about and do you plan on working on any future projects?
RILEY: Lee and I did a interview where we go into detail, but after the first season I was blessed to be a part of some television projects and work with people like Phoenix and Jazmine Sullivan and Kendrick Lamar and so on. So when music for this season came up, we couldn't pass up. Anytime I'm in that studio working on anything I'm happy. And I would love to work with other artists from different The Life seasons of the opportunity comes up. Like with Yosef. He raps right? Because...fine as hell.
Riley laughs.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: You know I have to bring up your sit down with Isaiah? Why did you agree to do it and were you upset with how it went?
RILEY: I agreed because, like you said earlier, Isaiah and I were once cool so weād be able to sit down and be civil right? Nah. The second I get there he resorts to the blame game and name calling. All the fighting and animosity between us? Stemmed from their words and escalated by their actions.
ISAIAH WOLFE: Riley is phony, he hides behind Jaser and plays the roll of his minion. He needs his own identity because he surely doesnāt have one living in Jaserās shadow.
RILEY: Minion? Bitch, you can count Chanelās heartbeats how far you up her ass. Jaser and I are friends who respect each other. You and Chanel are carbon copies with one mind.
ISAIAH WOLFE: I liked Riley at one point but his drama was just way to much for me, Iām good over here while he stay over there with his bum crew.
RILEY: See that, Roquel? āMYā drama, like his hand wasn't involved in spreading the flames at all. Fuck him.
Riley, getting a bit aggravated by now, just leaned back in his seat waiting for the next question.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: We saw you snap at the joint birthday party, i think that was your first fight ever. What made you go crazy like that?
CHANEL SNOW: Attention, he knew he was boring and needed to secure a spot for next season.
RILEY: You wanna talk about attention? Aiite. Who showed up at the party when they weren't even invited? Who makes it their business to to run to Twitter with some slick ass remark then cry wolf when they get called out? Who lied on their friend owing them money just to create some beef for the first season? Who scheduled a sit down just to throw shade and continue beef? Y'all niggas are fucking irksome and delusional. No wonder y'all can only get along with each other.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: But that fight was crazy, I was scared for everyone involved.
RILEY: They showed up after talking shit and didn't expect nothing to go down. I've said this before, I'm more calm than Jaser, so I knew my boy was angry and was gonna scrap and I let them at it because I know he can handle his own. It wasn't until Isaiah got involved is where I started throwing hands. I wasn't about to let them weak bitches gang up on him. That's why I snap. That got me heated as fuck.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Speaking of the party though, Riley that outfit was a little risquƩ, I mean you barely wore anything.
Ry lets out a small laugh while avoiding eye contact and playing with his ear.
RILEY: It was dead last minute and I couldn't think of anything else. I got out the shower that night, put on some draws, looked in the mirror and...just kinda went for it.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Back to your relationship with JaĆØshon, at the party Miles kind of let out the bag that JaĆØshon use to prostitute, how did that make you feel?
RILEY: I couldn't be anything else but shocked really. Also, I wasn't really sure how true it was so I somewhat ignored it until I couldn't anymore.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Iām sure that upset you too JaĆØshon when you saw that clip.
JAĆSHON WOOD: I wasnāt upset just disappointed because I wanted to tell him myself. I knew eventually people would find out because once you become a little famous, then thatās when all your secrets come to light.
MILES BALENCIAGA: Look i wasnāt trying to be shady, I just figured he knew because people were talking about it. The gay community is known for escorting so honestly I didnāt think it was going to be a big deal.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Baby thatās a big deal, that could possibly ruin careers.
MILES BALENCIAGA: I donāt think he was worried about his career because he brought it up on the show and in interviews. If he was doing it now then yes maybe it could be career suicide but he isnāt.
JAĆSHON WOOD: I mean it doesnāt matter now, itās out in the open so. Iām only focused on the future and not the mistakes I made when I was younger.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: So Riley does his past affect your relationship with him now and are you still pursuing a relationship with JaĆØshon?
RILEY: No. Even when I find out, I was still checking up on him making sure he was okay. Especially after what he, Lee and I did in the studio. Wasn't sure if it brought up past memories because after that he was avoiding me for awhile. But I found out later that it was because his ex came back in town.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: If thereās another season will you sign on again?
CHANEL SNOW: Please donāt.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Chanel let him answer the question girl, donāt be petty.
Chanel rolls her eyes.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Besides, I heard a rumor that they came to you with a contract for the third season MONTHS ago and you hadn't signed it yet.
Riley sucks in his lips and shrugs not really sure what to say.
RILEY: I mean...still time. Soā¦..
he shrugs again.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: So Blair what do you think about the relationship between JaĆØshon and Riley?
BLAIR WOOD: I mean. I donāt really know what to think. Thatās his business. All I care about is making sure twin good. If dude makes him happy thatās wussup. But Iām watching from a distance soā¦-
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Riley it seems like you really want true love, but you look for it in all the wrong people. Maybe take things slow and I think you two would make a cute couple.
RILEY: Damn, y'all love that word ācouple'.
Riley nervously laughs playing with his ear again.
RILEY: Well, Shon and I have talked it over plenty of times where I told him that I don't know if I'm ācoupleā material and he even said the same at one point. But...I don't know...time brings changes.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Well let's ask your best friend too, Jaser how do you feel about the relationship between JaĆØshon and Riley?
JASER CRUZ: Iām here for it honestly. Compared to the trash heās dated in the past.
Jaser pauses and looks over at Isaiah and snickers then looks back at Roquel.
JASER CRUZ: I think they both are genuine good guys that both want the same thing. Theyāll make it work.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Mr. Cruz! I was excited to see you here tonight, I just knew I was going to see you flying across this stage at Chanel.
CHANEL SNOW: He not that dumb.
JASER CRUZ: Iāve already dragged you off one stage Iām not afraid to do it again hun pipe down.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Iāve never seen two people hate each other as much as yāall do, itās sad. Anyway, how have things been since wrapping up this season?
JASER CRUZ: Things have been good. Iāve been on tour with SAP Wrestling. Weāre currently touring Through Canada right now which is a blast. Iām still working my photography business on the side as well a few acting gigs.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Baby I thought you werenāt coming back since we didnāt see you on the first episode, you gagged the hell out of us when you popped up, so what happened?
JASER CRUZ: I almost didnāt come back honestly. Dealing with the drama of the others was just a bit much. Like I got attacked twice last season and then in both Instances when I had the upper hand Iām the person in the wrong? Like it was a bit much. And then me and Jaiden started vibing again. I was hesitant to bring him into this world.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: You got a new boo I see, how did you and Jaiden meet?
JASER CRUZ: We met years ago in New York. In passing.
JAIDEN: I moved to Atlanta about a year ago and when I got down here I hit him up. We would hang here and there and then once things ended with his last relationship we started talking.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: We didnāt see much of your relationship this season, were you afraid of the reality tv curse when it comes to couples being on reality shows?
JASER CRUZ: It was just a timing thing. Jaiden works a lot and heās in the music industry. Sometimes away 2-3 weeks at a time flying back and forth from New York to Atlanta.
CHANEL SNOW: Thatās a paid boyfriend so, Iām shocked he can keep up with the payments.
ISAIAH WOLFE: FACTS!
JASER CRUZ: Here he go with that bullshit again. And Mr clam over there shouldnāt be worrying about others relationships when you could be using that time to clap that gunk out yours and Gioās dicks.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Jaser! Language young man. And Whoa Wait, why do you think Jaser is paying Jaiden to be his boyfriend?
CHANEL SNOW: Well Jaser needs to hurry up and finish his sex change first, this butch lesbian phase is all an act, heās on a trial period before he makes that decision to become a real woman.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Girl!
JASER CRUZ: Chanel hun why must you continue with your transphobic ass snide remarks. Itās disgusting you joke about that shit when people out there really dealing with shit. We all know you hate the fact the hair that grows out of my scalp is more lush than any wig those fat sausage for fingers could make.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Lets get back on topic here, Chile please yāall are a nuisance. Ha! How are things with Brittnee and Quinn?
JASER CRUZ: Great actually. Quinn is getting bigger every day itās crazy.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Now In the season finale we saw that Quinn wasnāt yours, how has that news affected you?
JASER CRUZ: It was hard. In the courtroom when they read the results I was sad. It was tough but we got past it.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: This season you werenāt portrayed as the hot head, minus the drama with Chanel and her crew, but why were you so calm this season?
JASER CRUZ: I had Quinn in my life. I didnāt want him to see his dad on tv being like I was first season. I was a angry kid with a lot of pent up anger.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: How are things with you and the Mean Girls?
CHANEL SNOW: He wishes he could be one but he could never, we donāt share seats with bums.
JASER CRUZ: Iām moving on in a better direction with my life that doesnāt include stressing or worrying about them.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: At your joint party with Riley, you attacked Chanel and it turned out to be one big brawl, why?
JASER CRUZ: She wasnāt invited. Last time we were face to face I told her on site. I gave her a couple minutes to remove herself from the situation but she stayed. And got dragged out. She can claim this and that on twitter but at the end of the day you know you werenāt wanted there. And yet you showed up to make a fool out of us but ended up leaving wigless and bruised. Like always.
CHANEL SNOW: He needed to secure that spot baby, he knew he wasnāt coming back next season because production was tired of his bullshit.
JASER CRUZ: Baby girl who on this stage has the most people gunning for them? Not me bitch. I donāt need to do anything to secure my spot unlike you. I donāt waste my time on radio shows and twitter making lies and talking shit about others. Cause we all saw the results on twitter of who the fans donāt want here anymore. And guess what? My name wasnāt first or second place. Unlike yours and mr mug shot model over there.
CHANEL SNOW: Whatever.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Any words for the other side of the room?
JASER CRUZ: Chanel find better wig glue. Isaiah youāre truly trash. Like the literal definition of it. Look in the dictionary your picture is there next to it. Gio, I have no issues with your cool but why stay with a dirty dick nigga that gave you a std? I mean sureitās a curable one this time but whoās to say the next one wonāt be?
as the crowd gives a uhhh Isaiah jumps up and leaps at Jaser but gets tackled to the ground by the security while Jaser and Riley laugh.
JASER CRUZ: Such a sad girl.
Jaser looks back at Roquel.
JASER CRUZ: And the others I donāt have anything to say to honestly no shade.
LEGEND DIOR: Well he shouldnāt have any words for me because Iāve never had an issue with Jaser. Heās the immature one that canāt be friends with me because Iām friends with Chanel and Isaiah. Iāve never got involved in their drama, Iāve never co-signed any of that bullshit so for them to have an issue with me is crazy.
JASER CRUZ: There is no issue with you. Weāve done this two reunion shows now with this nonexistent ass issues of ours you keep addressing. We just donāt fuck with you plain and simple. And Honestly I think itās you with the issue. Iām not the one that got on radio with those thots and made jokes about me and Riley and laughed along. Not once did you tell them to stop or check them for their bullshit. But you wanna get on stage and bitch about us not reaching out to you or trying to be buddy buddy with you. Like I said before phones go both ways suh. So miss me with that shit Legend stay mad you canāt sit with us cause weāre dope as fuck unlike the company you keep.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Oh gosh a read. Yāall not pulling any punches tonight.
RILEY: It's been too long dealing with this shit. Niggas don't understand unless you spell it out for them.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: What do you have going on for the future Mr. Cruz? Any club appearance? Ha!
JASER CRUZ: Like I said on twitter in response to the lady in drag over there I donāt need to go to these club appearances to boost my fragile ego and low self esteem. I donāt have to run and holler saying what Iām doing with my life every hour on twitter or act holier than thou. My future includes me wrestling more winning a title at SAP and continuing to build my brand.
CHANEL SNOW: I wonāt even comment, itās not worth it. His time on this couch is limited anyway, so whatever.
JASER CRUZ: So why open that big ass mouth of yours hoe? You know you canāt back up anything that comes out it.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Fellas! I have to move on. I want to bring Jaiden out from the back because i wanted to ask him a few questions also, he was involved in a little drama this season so I definitely want to hear his side Chile.
CHANEL SNOW: Oh gosh another extra, we just got rid of one.
JASER CRUZ: Whereās your renta boyfriend at? Whatās his name Chico? Couldnāt afford to pay alfred to swing by tonight Chanel?
Chanel throws her hand up in Jaserās direction as Jaiden walks out from the back and takes a seat on the couch beside Jaser.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Hey Jaiden!
JAIDEN: Hello Mars. Roquel, itās cool to be here.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Now we didnāt see much of you this season but when we did see you boo, you was making it known you were around. But why sign on and be so absent?
JAIDEN: I Work a lot in music production behind the scenes and on tour with my group. When I wasnāt present I was chasing my paper.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: A man about his money we can respect that. Were you ready for what you were getting yourself into when you got with Jaser?
JAIDEN: I knew before he had a attitude issue and didnāt like taking orders from others but he always had this sweet side to him. No ones perfect and I can tell you the guy Iām sitting next to has changed and grown up so much. The old Jaser wouldnāt have let Chanel talk crazy to him as long as she has been tonight.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: So this season you had some issues with Brittnee, care to tell me a little about that and how that came about?
JAIDEN: It was just a lot of back and forth from each of us. Sheāll tell you we were both immature about the situation. I came directly after she did so in her head I took him from her but that wasnāt the case.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Well Brittnee will also join us shortly and share her side of the story, but Brittnee wasnāt the only person you had an issue with this season, it seems like you and Dallas had some words for each other on Twitter?
JAIDEN: It was just a dumb thing that got more heat than it should have honestly. And the tv cuts and shows what they want to make a better story. Everyone has an opinion, doesnāt make it valid however.
DALLAS REED: I called out bitch behavior. Wasnāt no smoke till dude got in his feelings.
JAIDEN: I never got in mine but you sure seemed pressed when a nigga dropped your car fax or should I say mug shot record.
DALLAS REED: Again my dude thatās public record. Couldnāt hide it if I wanted to. You wasnāt dropping no new news dog.
Thereās a slight uhh from the crowd
ROQUEL WEATHERS: So Dallas why did you feel the need to speak about Jaidenās issue with Brittnee?
DALLAS REED: I said why forreal. It was just bitch ass behavior. Iām one of those who was brought up to never put my hand on a female. And a lotta gay dudes think they get a pass cuz they feminine. But you still strong as fuck. Why you fighting a lady. It aināt never been no beef with that nigga cuz I donāt know him but you on tv. Everybody had shit to say about it. Did he go off on every fan that had something to say? Hell no. But he know his spot not solidified after this. So you come after a vet. Cool. You see how many people already hoppin off me to pop off their stories. Why not join the train.
JAIDEN: You werenāt the only one talking about it. You right. But you wasnāt the only one that got lip back so pipe down that vet bullshit. You got what? A season over me? Iām really gone come after a nigga with one season over me to keep my āspotā? Youāre as dumb as you look nigga.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: I think you two just had a misunderstanding and should just squash the drama. I mean Dallas you are already in enough trouble and donāt need all these beefs under your plate?
DALLAS REED: Aināt no beef with me. These niggas getting hype off me.like I said when I first came out here. Iām good
JAIDEN: Yeah, Aināt no beef. Just donāt come at someone over shit you donāt understand and shit that aināt nun ya damn bidness.
Dallas chuckles.
DALLAS REED: Itās national tv bruh. Itās everybody's business. Or you donāt know how tv works?
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Now back to Brittnee, did you guys eventually make up?
JAIDEN: We did actually, despite what happened between Jaser and Brittnee we are still going to be in Quinn's life. Thereās no point in being enemies. We actually get along great now after we sat and just talked and cried and talked some more.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Well Jaiden I enjoyed seeing you on the show and I felt like you made a great addition, will you come back for another season or was this it for you?
JAIDEN: Iāll be back for sure. It was fun but weird watching myself on screen.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Well Iām sure Brittnee is ready to share her side, so Please welcome Brittnee.
Brittnee walks out and also joins Jaiden and Jaser on the couch.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Hey Brittnee Girl.
BRITTNEE JAE: How you doing ms Quel? All these fine men up on this stage, donāt let me find my next baby daddy up here!
The guys along with the crowd all laugh as Riley just scrunches his face in disgust and pops in a pair of headphones while leaning back in his seat.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Youāre silly girl, I like. How are things with Quinn?
BRITTNEE JAE: Heās doing great actually thanks for asking. Heās literally my best friend. Itās crazy something so small could be so perfect.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Well baby Iām about jumping right into the tea, so I want to know if you really thought Jaser was the father?
BRITTNEE JAE: I did. Honestly and truly think he was. Quinn looks like my family. So his curly hair which looks like Jaser's was the biggest factor I just knew for sure he was.
JASER CRUZ: The times when we were messing around I knew she was with someone else but I was sure he was mine. I just had this gut feeling.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: In that moment, how did you take that news?
BRITTNEE JAE: Like Jaser said it was hard. I was embarrassed actually. Jaser pulled me to the side and just let me know everything would be ok and that he wasnāt leaving and heād still be there and it made it better but still it was embarrassing. Then to hear it was making its way around the blogs before it was confirmed was just the kicker.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Luckily we saw all of yāall make up, so how are things going with that?
BRITTNEE JAE: Smoothly once we worked out the kinks.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: In the beginning of the season news broke that a mystery woman was coming on the show claiming to have a baby by one of the cast members, once the parties involved were exposed, you kind of went and cliqued up with some of the enemies, so was that like a strategic move or a genuine friendship?
BRITTNEE JAE: At first on my part it was messy. Iām not gonna lie I was saying things about Jaser that werenāt true. But I grew to appreciate having Chanel around. I know Jaser and Chanel have their own beef for their own reasons and Iām not gonna try to get into that. Chanel has helped me out. And Jaser has as well.
CHANEL SNOW: I only agreed with the fact that Jaser was a deadbeat dad and that was it. We didnāt sit around and have I hate Jaser conversations. I genuinely liked the girl and even gave her advice when I could, we hosted a few gigs together that I helped get her because I wanted to make sure she had some income coming in for her and the baby. Trust me I donāt like Jaser but if a child is involved then I take that serious, you always think about the baby first.
JASER CRUZ: Itās respectable Chanel would do that I had no idea but I still donāt like the bitch.
BRITTNEE JAE: And thatās ok. Like I said my relationship with Jaser and my relationship with Chanel donāt coincide at all.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Do you have any words for your former friends? Maybe some advice on how they can all just get along.
BRITTNEE JAE: I think that ship has sailed. Thereās too much hurt at this point. It was a ego thing at first having heard from both sides but now itās just a hurt thing. If both sides could just see eye to eye and forgive the other Iām sure they could at least be cordial.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: So again Miles was involved in letting another secret out the bag, the secret was Quinnās paternity! Any idea on how he found out?
BRITTNEE JAE: I thought thereād be some kind of journalistic integrity. But then again he runs a gossip site heās not a real journalist. I think when it comes to children it should be hands off period. Like where do we draw the line? This kids didnāt ask for this. They damn sure donāt have a clue whatās going on. Itās sick in my opinion.
The crowd starts to applaud
MILES BALENCIAGA: Iāve explained this before, my gossip or tea is not intentional or malicious. Sometimes i feel as though as friends we are having simple conversations and sometimes that includes other friends we may have. Atlanta is small and people talk and word on the street was this girl was trying to trap Jaser and get money because her real baby father wasnāt shit.
BRITNEE JAE: Hereās the thing tho. You took what I said in passing to someone else and ran with it. You created this whole story about me that wasnāt true and guess who has to deal with that perception? Me, not you Miles.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: But Baby the delivery be so shady.
JASER CRUZ: It was shady. I didnāt sweat it. At the end of the day Brittneeās gonna do what she feels is best for Quinn. Itās just the fact that what was actually said versus what was put out was totally different and far from the truth. It had me looking bad and Britt as well.
MILES BALENCIAGA: Well Look I apologize if I offended anyone or caused any type of drama or pain. I just figured people already knew because it was already being talked about amongst the group and in the circle.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: What do you have to say to Miles now?
BRITTNEE JAE: I donāt have anything to say to him besides thanks for perpetuating me as a unfit mom and a whore.
Still with his head leaning back, Riley lets a church-y āWell!ā spill out his mouth. Jaser nudges him with his elbow and Riley just shrugs.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Riley, thanks for joining us again. And Anything you would like to say Jaser?
BRITTNEE JAE: I love you and thank you for all that you do for Quinn and I.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: And Jaser any words for Miles? It seems like you two arenāt mad at each other, I see you guys show love to each other Twitter and even out in public.
JASER CRUZ: A heads up next time to actually straighten everything up would be appreciated.
ISAIAH WOLFE: Fake friendships donāt last, remember that.
JASER CRUZ: And chlamydia is a std that doesnāt last but leaves a lasting impression on everyone, thot.
MILES BALENCIAGA: Baby your the fakest one on this couch, Chanel needs to watch out for you BITCH!
ISAIAH WOLFEļø: You mad.
MILES BALENCIAGA: Nah you're mad because you know Giovanni about to leave your fucking ass.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Whoa! Whoa! Letās get back to the show.
MILES BALENCIAGA: Then tell that queen to keep her mouth shut before I come do it for her.
ISAIAH WOLFE: Iām sitting right here, jump!
ROQUEL WEATHERS: It wonāt be no jumping, Iām sorry Brittnee for the rudeness of your fellow cast members. What does the future hold for you?
BRITTNEE JAE: Iām gonna continue working as a model thanks to the show Iāve been able to link up with other people in the entertainment industry. Iām looking at getting a music career started soon as well.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Thank you Brittnee for joining us, we wish you the best of luck. Tell Quinn we say Hi!
Brittnee smiles, she gives both Jaser and Jaiden a hug and she walks off stage. Jaiden gets up from the main couch and walks out sitting on the couch opposite of Dallas.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: We still have so much left in this reunion special but baby the tension up here is thick. Everyone needs to relax, weāve made it this far without an issue so letās get through this. Iām going to need a drink after this!
Roquel takes the card again and fans herself.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Hadrian Ali, my future baby daddy. Let me tell you something I have a problem with you.
Hadrian chuckles, before flashing his million dollar smile.
HADRIAN ALI: Oh, you do? And what might that be?
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Where The hell were you this season? I missed seeing all this fineness on my TV screen, now no shade to the other cast members yāall cute and all but Mr. Ali whooooo Chile!
HADRIAN ALI: Ha-ha. I been busy.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: How is the business going?
HADRIAN ALI: Doin real good. I got everythang cleared out. Got the renovations done. All thatās left is ordering the equipment and hiring people.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: So how long will it be before your business is up and running so I can come through in my yoga pants and get some personal training from you?
Hadi gives a short laugh.
HADRIAN: Should be a few more months. Iām determined to get this business up as soon as possible.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Iām also interested in knowing whatās going on with you and Dallas, because this season had only a taste of the tension between you too after it was created last season and continued on, so did you guys finally end your beef?
HADRIAN ALI: You know what? I let that shit go the last reunion after he apologized, but the question is if Dallas is actually willing to do the same.
DALLAS REED: just like I said about everybody else. Iām not on no beefing shot with nobody no more unless they want it with me.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: What can you tell us about the court case, because we only got a sample of it on the show. Is it still an active case?
HADRIAN ALI: On my part, no. With the evidence, they ended up giving me a fine and hours of community service. Iām still workin on it.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: So, what about yours, Dallas?
DALLAS REED: Nah my shit was cleared up with that one. It was the same deal. Was on probation but I violated that shit when me and Trapp fought. Thatās why I went down for a few months
ROQUEL WEATHERS: So alongside your business and legal troubles, Hadrian, this season was also family meeting up for the first time, so before I talk about your relationship with your brothers, tell me a little about your biological father?
HADRIAN ALI: I didnāt know anything about him when I was younger. Moms told me that he just up and left when I was young to go and start a whole new family elsewhere. She didnāt give me any details, and I never thought to ask her.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: So how did you find out about JaĆØshon and Blair?
HADRIAN ALI: I actually thought that my stepdad was my biological father, until I had to get a hold of my birth certificate before I headed out to college. Just to apply for a passport. Thatās when I saw his name. After my mom confirmed it, and told me about him, all that was left was a simple search on the Internet. Finding out about his birth date and birth place led me to him and his business number, so I contacted the place and they directed me to him.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: So how did it feel talking to your biological father?
HADRIAN ALI: I was amazed, but in my mind I had so many questions I wanted to ask him. Personal questions, but thatās when I also heard that he had two sons from another woman, and as mad as I was for Pops to leave me and my mother hangin like that, she moved on from the situation and found someone else.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: And from that, you were able to meet JaĆØshon and Blair. So this season we also found out about JaĆØshon and his past, so, Hadi, how do you feel about JaĆØshon and his past as an escort? And how did you find out?
HADRIAN ALI: He told me the day after I went out to visit him at his apartment. I can say that I felt bad, knowing that I couldnāt go out and do something for him. That I couldnāt reach out a little harder.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Now Iāll address this with JaĆØshon when I get to him, but since Iām talking with you now I kind of want to know your thoughts on the situation. I know that scene where you sat down with JaĆØshon and he had the bruises all over his body, and recently he opened up about a violent relationship he was once involved in, how did that make you feel seeing him in that situation and knowing that he could still be in that situation?
HADRIAN ALI: I knew something was off about him that day, but I could never see what it was, and because he wasnāt so open then to discuss it with me, I let it go, but I told him that if there was any time he wanted to talk to me, he can.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: When did he told you about his past and the violence he endured?
HADRIAN ALI: He told me about it when we were at the restaurant after Blair left.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: So how did you feel about it?
HADRIAN ALI: I mean, he only told me bits and pieces of his past throughout the season, so I was assuming that he was trying to be protective of me and himself. I was glad that he was willing to open up about it.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Now you know I want to know about your love life, how is that going and do you even have a love life?
HADRIAN ALI: Ha-Ha! Maybe...
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Maybe?! My goodness! Spill!
HADRIAN ALI: Youāll see.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Oh no, you canāt leave us hanging, honey! The audience needs to know. Whoās the lucky ladyā¦..or man?
Hadrian simply shrugs at the response.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Aw, well what are your thoughts on the season finale and whatās up with another season? If you do come back can you promise us weāll see you a lot more?
HADRIAN ALI: Ha-ha, I keep sayin it, but I never saw another season for me, but I keep hearing from people that they love the progression. The willingness to get out there and work.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: JaĆØshon Wood, you too were a fan favorite this season and it seems like a lot of people shared the same story as you.
JAĆSHON WOOD: I got a lot of great feedback from the fans, I was happy that I could help others just by sharing my story.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Why Be so open though? Were you afraid that you might embarrass yourself or even your family?
JAĆSHON WOOD: As you can see Blair and I are kind of the lone sheep of the family, so I wasnāt worried about embarrassing anyone but myself. But at the same time I know I need to let go of all that hurt and talking about it was my only option.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: We have to talk about the bruises JaĆØ, I was so sad when I saw that.
JAĆSHON WOOD: A lot of people were, even my grandma reached out and asked me what was going on. But hey itās life and it happens.
JaĆØshon starts to tear up, Hadi turns and embraces his brother. JaĆØshon chills for a second getting himself together.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Take your time sweetie.
JAĆSHON WOOD: Nah Iām good, it was just one of those situations where itās like this is all you know and use too. When I was in Chicago it was a struggle so this man open doors for me that I probably never would have been able to at that age. But sadly it went a different direction and I fell victim to a lot of his lies and abuse.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: How are things today?
JAĆSHON WOOD: Iām a lot better, thereās no contact whatsoever so Iāve just been focusing on me.
Roquel looks to Blair
ROQUEL WEATHERS: You definitely were very opinionated on his relationship and abuse. How do you feel now, after seeing it all play out?
BLAIR WOOD: I felt like I failed my brother man. It was always me and him. We told each other everything. So the fact that there was someone who had that control over him to where he didnāt even feel safe to tell meā¦. I felt helpless. I didnāt even pay attention to the bruises on his face that day. He had his hat pulled down and he didnāt really look up much. But I was so focused on my anger toward Hadrian, I didnāt even see my brother needed me. I just wish things played out differently,but they didnāt.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: I canāt imagine how that mustāve felt. Now we also canāt ignore the scene in the car with Riley, he was ready to go fight this man that was putting his hands on you.
RILEY: I care for Shon. And I go up for the people I care for when I see they're in trouble.
JAĆSHON WOOD: I didnāt want him getting involved, it was something I needed to handle on my own but i was grateful that Riley wanted to help.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Speaking of Riley, weāve heard from him so now I want to hear from you.
JAĆSHON WOOD: Riley is cool, despite all the bad stuff that is said about him Iāve never seen that side.
ISAIAH WOLFE: Silly boy it just hasnāt happened yet but it will.
RILEY: Mr. Krabs need to mind his own business for once. Ain't shit we do got anything to do with him.
JAĆSHON WOOD: I get that yāall two have history and issues with each other but thatās between yāall.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Do you see yourself being with Riley if the opportunity presented itself.
JAĆSHON WOOD: I like Riley I do, but right now weāre just hanging out without the labels and thatās how I like it.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Yāall together, I know it.
JAĆSHON WOOD: I mean, you never know.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: We also saw that you and Phoenix have formed a close relationship, your signed under her company but it seems like you two are more best friends than business partners.
JAĆSHON WOOD: Ugh I just love her, she has helped me a lot with my personal and professional life. And I feel like Iām such a burden at times but she always reminds me that sheās there no matter what the circumstance are. Shoutout Phoenix though, she told me to keep my cool tonight.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: If there is another season, would you sign on?
JAĆSHON WOOD: Sure. I had a great experience. I got to reconnect with family and build new friendships and relationships. I can honestly sit on this couch and say I donāt have any issues with anyone on this stage, not even Miles. I came on this show looking at this as an opportunity and an experience, I wasnāt here to fight or cause drama.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: I enjoyed you this season, i really did. And I was so happy to see you want to fix your relationship with Hadi even though your grumpy brother Blair was being all shady, donāt worry we getting to you next.
BLAIR WOOD: Nah it wasnāt nothing like that. Ha. Like Jae said, weāve always been the lone wolves. But the difference was Jae left Atlanta and he did have time were he explored the world and did all this shit. Whereas I legit just stayed to myself. I went to work came home. I aināt really have a lotta friends. Never really let nobody new in. But I guess thatās part of the reason I joined this show. Itās making me open up more. Little by little.
JAĆSHON WOOD: Look Hadi is family and I love him. I understood his reasoning behind him being away and it was just pointless to me to hold a grudge. Nothing against Blair but I was just more understanding and more opened to the little family reunion we had going on. Since the show stopped filming we all have kept in contact with each other and even had some time to hang out with each other, so hopefully it stays that way.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Thatās great to hear. Whatās in your future JaĆØshon?
JAĆSHON WOOD: Money, Jobs, Love, and like Chanel always say, staying busy.
Chanel snaps her fingers.
CHANEL SNOW: Yaaaas honey, booked and busy.
JAĆSHON WOOD: Thatās honestly what I want in my future and just to be happy.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: I hear that. I wanna talk about someone who was as absent this season as he has been on this couch tonight.
Roquel chuckles as she looks to Zeno. He chuckles, shaking his head.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Heeeeeey Mr. Barnes!
TRAZENO BARNES: Whatās good Mrs. Weathers?
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Where have you been? You didnāt really appear too much this season. Even at Milesā party, we saw you come in and you just blended in with crowd. Why have you been so distant from the show?
TRAZENO BARNES: Man I just been moving in silence to be honest. A lot of things changed for me. I been working a lot. Staying out of trouble.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Youāve recently been started acting?
TRAZENO BARNES: Yea. Mostly commercials right now and small roles. But I actually just signed on to do my first movie. But I canāt talk much about it. Just know yāall will see the kid soon.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Chile as long as there is a scene where we get to get into that body Chile! Iām here for it! But you did make a surprise pop up on Trinity toward the end of the season with your tales of I miss you.
TRAZENO BARNES: Yea I did. But letās be clear I was a lil drunk listening to drake. But forreal I did and still do miss her. I gotta lotta love for trinity.but just tryna be a friend more than anything. We had that way before we were together.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Trinity seems to have written you out of her life for good honey.
TRINITY MONROE: I canāt say anything is forever. But at that time I just felt like he was not someone that I needed around me, but I did miss the friendship. Like he said we knew each other since we were a lot younger. We were friends first so it was really hard to see that die after everything we went through.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: How do you feel toward him now?
TRINITY MONROE: we have had one or two conversations since Filming ended. Weāre nowhere near the friends we used to be. But I definitely donāt hate him. And who knows the future.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Well it seems as if that chapter is over and done but when one door closed, another seemed to reopen. We have be wondering for two seasons what the relationship between Zeno and Hadrian was or wasnāt. Last season you both seemed to be in the way to rekindling the last but we didnāt really get to see too much of you two.
TRAZENO BARNES: I think watching my relationship played back on tv kinda made me hesitant about going back down that road to be honest
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Do you feel the show played apart in the demise of your relationship?
TRAZENO BARNES: Oh nah. I take full responsibility for what I did. I just think seeing it back was a lot. And I think I wanted to do things differently forreal. And weāve always been private. I guess thatās just what we were used to.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: We did get to see you both at Hadrianās construction sight.You guys seem to have a roommate/ best friend type of relationship.
TRAZENO BARNES: I mean thatās how we started. And what we were forreal.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Well on the finale episode you guys looked like a lot more than that. Honey my mouth hit the door when we saw you coming out of the shower at his place.
Zeno chuckles, licking his lips
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Chile! We donāt want to wait any longer! Can you guys finally tell us what the deal is with the two of you.
Zeno chuckles, looking at Hadrian sitting next to him.
HADRIAN ALI: You want me to say it, Tre?
TRAZENO BARNES: Go ahead. You got it.
The camera then switches to Jaser and Riley who sit confused, but Jaser finally catches on and rises his back from the couch, curious. Audience members follow suit. Their murmuring slowly building up above the surface.
HADRIAN ALI: I was going to keep it on the hush until the time was right, butā¦..Tre and I are back together.
The crowd erupts into excitement as cameras catch various reactions from the cast.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: What?! Back together? You all heard it here folks! Hadrian and Zeno are back together! And to think I even had a chance of making Hadrian my baby daddy, but thereās always next time. Trinity, how do you feel about this? I mean I know you were a little surprised after meeting Hadrian and then finding out who he was.
TRINITY MONROE: Letās be clear. I always knew of him. I had just never seen his face. So when I met him I didnt know who I was meeting. But Iām very happy for them and wish them the best.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Honey, I hope youāre saying that because you got you a new piece of candy too!
TRINITY MONROE: Dont start!
She chuckles.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Chile you have had quite a colorful dating life since the season started.
TRINITY MONROE: Single people date. Thatās what happens. Everyone on these couches has dated around until they did or didnāt find what they were looking for.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: What didnāt work between you and Blair?
TRINITY MONROE: I mean like he said earlier, we are just on different paths. I think heās a great person but Iām at a point in my life where I know where Iām going and heās still kinda finding his way. And thereās nothing wrong with that. He just wasnāt for me.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Are you guys friends now?
TRINITY MONROE: Absolutely. We talk all the time.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: How do you feel about Blairās comments to the lgbt community. Heās been marked as homophobic by many for his remarks. And for how he broke things off with Lala.
Blair chimes in shaking his head
BLAIR WOOD: Yo come on! Thatās all I been hearing.
TRINITY MONROE: Look. I do feel that some of his delivery leaves more to be desired. But letās look at it from his perspective. Weāre only just finding out how his father protected them from that lifestyle. This world is completely new for him. But I definitely donāt think heās homophobic.people throw that word around way too quickly and easily.
BLAIR WOOD: Thank you!
TRINITY MONROE: As yāall could see through the the season, Blair and words donāt always work. Heās been put into a situation thatās completely new. Weāve all shown our asses a little bit.but heāll come around. But not if people attack him as soon and label him homophobic for not understanding
ROQUEL WEATHERS: well miss girl maybe you can help him understand. But itās good to see that you guys still have a friendship. Now we did see what looked to be a budding romance between you and Mr. Khalil Hammond. How did the two of you meet?
TRINITY MONROE: We actually met on Twitter. He approached me after seeing me on the show. He was bold and I liked it. and heās definitely an attractive man. Yāall seen him. So when he asked me on a date, of course I said yes.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: We didnāt see much of him this season. Why is that?
TRINITY MONROE: I knew from jump that he wouldnāt be on the show much. But letās be clear he was around. But we both have very different schedules. Heās been really focused on breaking into his career. And he didnāt wanna use my fame to get there. But he definitely makes the effort to show me a good time.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: he took you to your first amusement park.
TRINITY MONROE: he did! And we had a blast. He pays attention. Iāve always been a grinder. Hard working. I never had time to just hang out or go do random fun things. And itās like he literally took a list of all the things I wanted to do and crosses them off one by one.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: So where do you two stand now??it seems like you were on your way to becoming something official l.
TRINITY MONROE: weāre still dating.i donāt wanna rush things. Weāre taking it slow. And weāll see what happens.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: well we definitely wish you both the best of luck in whatever you decide. You two looked like a vision at the premier of Star in which you started in. I have been glued to my television by the way! You are doing the thing ms. cotton
TRINITY MONROE: Thank you! Itās definitely been an amazing ride!
ROQUEL WEATHERS: chile you have been everywhere! Modeling, acting, and youāve even took your makeup artistry to the next level, with the launch of your own line of cosmetics.
TRINITY MONROE: absolutely! The trinity! Actually being sold through Sephora. Iām so excited about it. It's been a long time coming. Iāve been an artist for over 15 years.its time for something with my name on it.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Chile I have my box set and I am in love! Trinity will we actually see you more if there is another season?
TRINITY MONROE: Things seem to be moving in a more positive direction so, absolutely.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: This whole night has went smoothly minus the drama with Chanel and Kali earlier. Iām very proud of you guys for sitting on these couches without getting physical and actually having a conversation.
Roquel smiles.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: I do hope at one point everyone in this room can all be friends or at least get along while being in the same room in the future. As for the reunion show, we are done! Honey I need to get out of here!
Everyone exhales In relief, a few of the producers walk out bringing everyone a shot glass, Roquel gets hers and she holds her shot glass in the air with everyone following behind her.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: I want to say cheers to a fantastic but drama filled season and hopefully to another season. Good luck everyonein all your future endeavors and thank you to everyone who tuned into the reunion and this season of #theLIFEATL.
The scene opens up inside The Ritz Carlton hotel, Roquel is shown sitting in the middle while on the right side sits Chanel Snow, Isaiah Wolfe, Trinity Monroe, Legend Dior and Giovanni Weston and her left say Jaser Cruz, Riley Mitchell, Blair Wood, Jalen Holmes, and Miles Balenciaga.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Everyone looks great tonight, so fresh and clean. Hello everyone.
The casts all speaker their hellos.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: And lets not forget the remainder of the cast thatās joining us on the couches off the stage.
The scene cuts to the first couch where Hadrian Ali, Trazeno Barnes, Nasir Grant, Kaliyah Kane, Yeshua Banner and Richie Rich are shown while on the other couch sits Brittany Jea, LaLa St. Claire, Dallas Reed, Bryāan Tiller, Jaiden, Sean Williams, and JaĆØshon Wood. The cast speak their hellos as the scene cue back onto the stage.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Iām happy that everyone was able to join us today, now remember there will be no fighting allowed today. Letās sit here and talk and conduct ourselves like adults.
Chanel rolls her eyes.
CHANEL SNOW: Well speak that to the bum gang over there, their the ones that canāt seem keep their hands to themselves.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Oooh starting already Chanel.
CHANEL SNOW: No just speaking facts, if you notice every time we have a physical problems, itās because of the people on that side.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: But I think In certain situations you kind of provoke the fights Chanel, I mean your mouth isnāt the nicest on this couch, a lot of people sitting on this couch has been a victim to some of the stuff you say out of your mouth.
Chanel shrugs.
CHANEL SNOW: Not my problem if they canāt handle the truth about themselves.
JASER CRUZ: Can we get 5 mins in before you start with all that rah rah rah shit? Geez.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Speaking of the truth and the drama, it seems like this season you kind of stayed away from the drama besides the fights with Jaser and Riley.
CHANEL SNOW: Because I decided to focus more on my work, I was busy the whole year and when your booked, you donāt have the time to entertain other peopleās shenanigans.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: I was happy to see you and Trinity squash your beef, I mean you two were basically enemies last season.
CHANEL SNOW: People donāt know that Trinity and I actually had a real friendship before the show, we kind of had a falling out before the whole check incident and once that happen, shit just kind of went left.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Why did you lie about the check?
Chanel smirks.
CHANEL SNOW: I promised my sister that I wouldnāt speak about it because it was very damaging but I will say I was hurt and I reacted off pain. She knows Iām very sorry about the situation and we just decided to move on and get back to our friendship.
Roquel looks to Trinity
ROQUEL WEATHERS: How were you able to come back from all of this. Because honey itās no secret that it was apart of your contract that you wouldnāt film with Chanel. So we all gagged seeing you two go from where you were to living it up on a party bus with each other.
TRINITY MONROE: To be honest all I ever wanted was for her to sincerely acknowledge her wrong: and at that charity event was when I felt her being sincere for the first time and weāll leave it at that. Like she said we have moved on. The past is exactly where it should be. Itās about building a sisterhood not tearing it down.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Well itās good that you two decided to fix what was broken, good friends are hard to come by so when you do have one, hold onto them.
Chanel smiles grabbing Trinityās hand.
CHANEL SNOW: Sheās a great person so Iām just happy weāre getting back to what we use to be.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: I wish everyone could get along and fix broken friendships like you two, but speaking of broken friendships though whatās going on with you and Isaiah Chile? I remember seeing on the show that you two had a little quarrel, I was scared yāall was going to stop being friends.
CHANEL SNOW: Oh no thatāll never happen, Isaiah and I are family, like I got his back and he has mines.
ISAIAH WOLFE: True story.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: But Isaiah you were shady in your confessionals, I remember you calling Chanel messy.
ISAIAH WOLFE: I did yes and I apologized for making that comment but at the time I was angry. Look Iām Chanelās best friend so I understand there will be certain situations that I may not like. I met Giovanni and I was trying to show him that I wasnāt like some of the other messy guys he messed with and it was like Chanel would be involved in all these twitter battles and I always felt like I needed to have her back so when he saw me get involved, he was just ask me Why and I donāt know, I just felt like I needed too.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: But you do understand Chanel has to fight her own battles.
ISAIAH WOLFE: I get that but it wasnāt always a one on one fight, Jaser and his little minions would jump in and like double or triple team her and I wasnāt about to let that happen.
CHANEL SNOW: And I respected him for that, I felt bad that he was always getting pulled into my drama but that also showed me his loyalty, because no matter what he had my back and loyalty is big with me.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: I just donāt understand why this side doesnāt get along with the other side, I feel like if you all just set your differences aside and just came together you probably could all have a lot of fun.
Legend rolls his eyes.
LEGEND DIOR: I donāt party with snakes.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Wait, who's the snakes?
LEGEND DIOR: Itās a few snakes sitting over there on that couch, they know who they are.
Jalen rolls his eyes; he leans down making sure his sneakers is tie, dusting off his Saint Laurent jeans he looks back up and at Legend.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: The only person I know you have an issue with is Jalen, so when you add a S to the snake it means multiple people. Who else do you have a problem with on the couch?
LEGEND DIOR: Listen girl, you didnāt see me film with anyone on that couch over there except Jalen, the only time I saw them were at the parties other than that I was mostly with Chanel and Isaiah because they made the attempt to hang around me and be friends.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: So your saying that Jaser, Riley, Blair and Miles werenāt interested in filming with you.
LEGEND DIOR: I mean who knows, I donāt know why Jaser and Riley couldnāt hit me up, I mean we know each other and we kind of started this thing together.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Well why is that?
Roquel turns and looks at Jaser and Riley.
JASER CRUZ: Iām not the type to want to be around people that donāt fuck with me Iām not gonna put myself in a situation weāre I know Iām not wanted. More than someone like Chanel can say. Like he said Chanel and Isaiah were his homies. Hell they called themselves the mean girls and would do nothing but talk shit about us on radio shows and on twitter. They got some of the old heads to join in with them too like what the fuck. Then thereās the fact if we do hang how am I supposed to know itās genuine if youāre so close to them. Like if you wanted to be closer or whatever a phone goes both ways but you donāt hear us tripping.
Jaser shrugs. The camera goes over to Riley, with eyes on him waiting for his answer. He scrunches his face as if to say āwhat the hell y'all want from me?ā
RILEY: I don't know that nigga. And how am I supposed to he cool with someone whoās friends with people that don't like me? Where's the logic?
MILES BALENCIAGA: Well I know Legend from mutual friends in LA and he knows weāve never really been friends and thereās reasons behind that.
LEGEND DIOR: Reasons that are in the past.
MILES BALENCIAGA: And thatās fine but that doesnāt mean I have to sit around and KiKi with you, everyone on this stage know you're faker than the labels you got on boo, so we donāt even need to go there.
LEGEND DIOR: I mean we can if you want to and baby nothing on this body is fake, you got me mistaken for that hair you have on your fucking head and by the way the shaved head is so dead, new style bitch!
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Whoa! Wait a minute honey, what is going on here today?
LEGEND DIOR: Miles must be mad after the body we shared that day in LA, baby I canāt help the gay community is small and we was sharing the same community dick.
MILES BALENCIAGA: But you knew I was with him.
LEGEND DIOR: And so was the rest of LA but that didnāt stop you from being mad at only me and not them.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: So this is over a man that you both had?
MILES BALENCIAGA: Itās not necessarily about the guy, itās the fact that you knew he was in a relationship but you continued to mess with that person. Again we have mutual friends in LA so I would see Legend out at parties and he would smile all in my face and to me thatās just fake.
LEGEND DIOR: Miles has been trying to get on this show since it started, Levi told me you shopped your tryout tape to LA and got turned down, once you got the chance to get on this show, you went right to spilling peoples business just so you could secure a spot and now you want to bring up this mess? Miles you donāt want it with me baby, sit over there with your fake diamonds on and get your fifteen minutes because baby if itās another season Iāll be back, Iām sure youāll be a question mark.
JALEN HOLMES: Pathetic!
LEGEND DIOR: And Jalen you can keep your mouth shut playboy because you lucky they got this motherfucking security deep in this bitch because trust if you werenāt so protected your face would be on this floor right now.
Trapp stands up from the couch on the outside.
TRAPP: Chill fam.
LEGEND DIOR: And Trapp you not scaring anybody with your fake thug personality, baby you sitting on an openly gay show talking about you DL and kissing a ladyboy with pink hair so you chill fam.
Legend snaps his fingers, Trapp starts to walk towards the stage but security rushes up pushing him back towards the couch.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Look were not doing this tonight, I already told yāall. Legend you are snappy tonight.
LEGEND DIOR: Iām not snappy, Iām just not taking no shit from anyone. I mostly stayed to myself this season just because I didnāt want to get involved in any drama especially drama that didnāt deal with me.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Well that was kind of hard because of the issues you have with Jalen and his boyfriend Trapp.
LEGEND DIOR: Correction! I donāt have an issue with Trapp, he has one with me because I stomped his boyfriend out.
JALEN HOLMES: And thatās something you didnāt do, so donāt sit on this couch and lie.
LEGEND DIOR: Jalen everyone knows you canāt fight, you and your boyfriend. Didnāt yāall pull up with bodyguards? I guess yāall was scared Dallas was going to run up.
The cameras pan to Dallas in the audience. He chuckles shaking his head.
DALLAS REED: Leave me outta that shit man. Iām chilling.
JALEN HOLMES: Bullshit.
TRAPP: Let him talk that mess, just remember everything said on this stage will carry on after we leave the building and once we leave, itās on sight.
Legend fake faints on the couch, throwing his hand over his face.
LEGEND DIOR: Iām so tired of silly threats.
TRAPP: Yea whatever nigga.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Letās switch gears a little because I can sense this is going to turn into a heated situation. Mr. Dallas Reed, the troublemaker.
Roquel chuckles.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: You're definitely a fan favorite this season, but we also got some comments calling you Sneaky, Liar, Player, Homewrecker and Prostitute. Those are some harsh words donāt you think?
DALLAS REED: Canāt nobody who watch the show, and really watch the show call me no homewrecker. And I aināt bout to talk about that unless niggas finally gonna be real and own up to the parts they played. Niggas on papers...real papers because of a storyline. Fuck outta here.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: But Dallas donāt you see how your portrayed on the show? People are calling you a homie hopper because the fact you hooked up with Jalen, Legend, you had relations with Zeno and Trinity and being called a homewrecker for causing problems in Jalenās and Trappās relationship.
DALLAS REED: I donāt care how Iām portrayed. Who paying my bills? Me. Iām doing for me. So I answer to me. I did what any other single person would do. I got some cheeks. I aināt the only one fucking on this couch. Come on yāall letās be real. Whatās working with me having fun.
LEGEND DIOR: For the record Iām single, so whoeverās face I want to ride is my own personal business.
Dallas smirks, licking his lips.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Oooh, too much info Chile. Trinity what are your thoughts on whatās been going on with Dallas? I mean you two have a close relationship and Iām sure youāve sat down and tried to give him some advice.
TRINITY MONROE: weāve definitely remained close and I told him he needs help. But thereās only so much I can say. We no longer have that relationship where I can keep saving him. And he knows I say all of this with love.
JALEN HOLMES: Yea he needs a lot of fucking help and to stay out of my life.
Dallas chuckles, looking to Roquel
DALLAS REED: The last time yāall saw me talk to that boy on cam was the last time I talked to this nigga. I been told them I was done with this storyline. I donāt know what part of papers these niggas donāt understand. After the cameras stop rolling niggas lives still gotta go on. Iām not letting some created storyline fuck with my real life. Fuck out wit that
JALEN HOLMES: I blocked your number and decided to end all communication with you. Look I want Dallas to get help, we did share some personal conversations but he needs to accept the fact that I am with Trapp and thatās it.
TRAPP: Stop explaining yourself to this clown.
DALLAS REED: I got ya clown playboy.i keep tryna tell you. This aināt what you want man.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Okay, listen weāre not about to go back and forth right now about that, weāll get to it later but yāall need to chill with the aggression.
Roquel takes one of the cards in her hand and starts fanning herself.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: So I do want to ask about Zeno, Hadi and Dallas and I know itās a sensitive topic but I just want to know what happened with that whole thing? At one point Zeno and Dallas shared the same bed with Trinity and then this whole issue started, was it because of the breakup?
DALLAS REED: who you asking?
ROQUEL WEATHERS: I wanna hear from all of of yāall. But it would have to start with you. You have attacked both of these men. You were all over the blogs in TMZ youāre on video throwing a brick through Zenoās window. Chile you were angry! Where did this all come from.
DALLAS REED: To be honest I just never trusted Hadrian. I aināt never trusted a nigga that couldnāt even be real wit hisself. He brought his whole bitch on the show but behind her back tryna bring back old flings wit my nigga.
The camera follows Hadrian, who unexpectedly responds to Dallas.
HADRIAN ALI: Now first things first, patna. I may have not wanted to bring out any of this ābeefā between you and me this season, but I ain't gonna be tolerating you calling women no ābitchesā, mane, especially Jasmine. Real talk.
TRAZENO BARNES: Itās not even worth it yo. Just chill.
DALLAS REED: Oh come on. You know what the fuck I meant. No disrespect to Jas. But if anybody was on the outside looking in that whole shit just looked sus.
JALEN HOLMES: Oh boo hoo cry me a river, like take accountability of your own issues and stop blaming other people.
DALLAS REED: for somebody to want me to stay out their life. Why the fuck you so invested in mind. Chill shorty.
JALEN HOLMES: I mean we all have to sit on this stage and listen to your miserable life story, youāre not that interesting my nigga.
DALLAS REED: Leave the questions to the professionals. Just like you not booking no modeling gigs, interview hosting aināt for you either. But nice try.
LEGEND DIOR: Jalen is really feeling himself tonight, he should probably calm down before he gets himself hurt.
TRAPP: No one touching Jalen, trust!
DALLAS REED: look at his bodyguard!
Dallas bursts out laughing
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Everyone is staying in their seats thatās whatās happening tonight. So explain this papers situation, why are you on papers Dallas? Chile those mugshots was coming out the woodwork, you really are a bad boy.
DALLAS REED: Well as yāall saw on the show, after me and Trapp fought at Miles party we both got arrested. But I had priors before all this. So I had to do real timeā¦. over a hired boyfriend. Yāall think this shit is a game. Thatās why Iām chillin. These niggas tryna keep their spots if the show comes back. Iām an original my spot is solidified. Iām not bout t keep dancing in front of these cameras to help nobody build a character.that's played. And I wouldnāt say Iām a bad boy. Just made some mistakes
TRAPP: Ha hired boyfriend though? You really want my spot that bad huh? The funny thing is yāall niggas need this shit, I donāt. I only came on this show because Jalen asked me too, I was handling my business out in these streets where yāall fake niggas canāt last a second in.
JALEN HOLMES: Facts!
TRAPP: So he can talk all that bullshit if he wants, but understand Iām a real ass nigga and donāt give a fuck about this TV shit, Iām sitting feet away from this nigga and if he was about that life he would run up. Keep ya ass out of them jail cells my nigga then you wouldnāt have a reason to be scared.
Dallas: Just like you got every open option to run up. Iām confused. Aināt u sitting in ya seat too? Exactly! You and ya nigga both just sit and lie and run yāall fuckin mouth. Shut ya bitch ass up for a change. Wasnāt you talking to me Hadi and Zeno Roquel?
ROQUEL WEATHERS: yāall do understand violence doesnāt solve anything right?
TRAPP: But itāll knock some sense into a nigga, but he all talk though.
Dallas: how dumb does it look for a nigga doing nothing but talking, complaining about somebody talking? Haha the real joke.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: I donāt think yāall will ever squash your issues, itās to real.
TRAPP: Nah, I donāt run with rats yo, fuck that nigga.
DALLAS REED: Aināt shit to squash. The only time I ever see this nigga is on camera. Again. Fuck their storyline. I donāt even address them anymore. You do know how long ago all of this was right.. Chile...bye
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Thatās terrible, we need to move onto something positive and get away from all this negative energy. I was excited to see Richie Rich join the show, and shocked to see who he was kicking it. So you got some explaining to do boy, what the hell has been going on?
Richie Rich laughs.
RICHIE RICH: Ha, as you can see a lot has been going on.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Yes honey, and I need all the tea. But before we start talking about this fine gentleman beside you, what happened with Yosef?
RICHIE RICH: I think we were just better off as friends, once we got into a relationship it was like things were just moving way too fast and I couldnāt handle it.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: When you did the radio show with London you talked about not wanting to ruin any marriages, the only marriage I could possibly think about is Brandon and Drakes.
Richie Rich laughs.
RICHIE RICH: And Iāll stand by what I said, Iām not here to ruin or cause any problems in anyoneās marriage. But Yosef was very sneaky and to be his friend before his lover I just felt like that wasnāt right.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: So how did you meet Yeshua?
RICHIE RICH: It was an industry party but it was so awkward how we met.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Well I want details, but I want Yeshua to tell me.
YESHUA BANNER: Ha putting me on the spot huh? Nah but just like he said we was at this party, and I peeped him when he walked in and kind of already knew who he was. I wanted to holla at him on some video shit but we started talking and we talked about everything, started kicking it with each other and then we just kind of formed this little bond for real.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Awe sounds like love.
YESHUA BANNER: Ahhh.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: No one ever expected you to like men, so do you still like women?
YESHUA BANNER: I love women, but I have an attraction to dudes and for the longest time I hid that shit. Richie Rich was the one who kind of helped me be more comfortable with it, on some real shit heās the first nigga Iāve ever messed with.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Oh so Richie Rich popped that cherry huh?
YESHUA BANNER: Oh fuck nah, I stay on top of things around this bitch.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Ha, Iām only messing with you. Iām here for you two though, I thought it was cute seeing yāall together. But Richie Rich how did you end up on the show?
RICHIE RICH: It just happened, the producers found out I was doing work in ATL and just came to me with the idea, I thought why not.
MILES BALENCIAGA: Girl, he begged to be on the show.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Wait What?
MILES BALENCIAGA: Richie Rich asked if he could be on the show, after he found out I was on the show.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Miles you have issues with everyone on this stage low key, you are truly the new Chanel.
CHANEL SNOW: Oooh shade.
RICHIE RICH: I didnāt begged anyone, production approached me and at first I declined because I found out Miles was going to be on the show. But then I thought to myself I wasnāt about to let this boy stop my bag, so I called them back and said I would do it.
MILES BALENCIAGA: Delusional.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Where does your two issues stem from?
RICHIE RICH: I was picked over Miles for a fashion event and heās been salty since.
MILES BALENCIAGA: I mean when your fucking the director then of course thatāll happen. Baby Richie Rich sits on that couch acting all innocent and shit but heās a snake deep down inside. He doesnāt care about anyone but himself.
RICHIE RICH: Thatās not true.
MILES BALENCIAGA: He needed a coin because he not booking fashion shows and magazines anymore so #theLIFE happily employed his broke struggling ass.
ISAIAH WOLFE: You got so much mouth tonight.
GIOVANNI WESTON: Chill Isaiah.
ISAIAH WOLFE: Nah Iām not going to chill because Miles is being really disrespectful. I donāt understand how you can sit back and agree with his actions here and all season.
GIOVANNI WESTON: Thatās my friend, not my son.
MILES BALENCIAGA: Isaiah we can go if you want because baby you know I got all the dirt on your burning ass.
ISAIAH WOLFE: A bunch of lies.
MILES BALENCIAGA: Baby you burning my best friend and sleeping with DelontĆØ is not lies, donāt play yourself.
GIOVANNI WESTON: Yoooo Chill The fuck out Miles.
ISAIAH WOLFE: Check your fucking friend Gio before I walk over there and slam my fist in his mouth.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: This went all the way to the left, I am
Gagging Chile, burning? Wait what?
MILES BALENCIAGA: Gio called my phone maybe a month after them two started dating and told me that he had to go to the emergency room because his dick was burning and that Isaiah gave him syphilis.
Isaiah jumps up from the couch rushing towards Miles but Gio jumps up grabbing his arm. Security rushes to the stage both standing in front of each couch making sure no one gets up. Riley was seen holding his gut letting out a good ol laugh while Jaser holds his mouth with a shocked look on his face.
JASER CRUZ: Omg you let him get away with that?
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Now Riley! You and Isaiah had some kind of history where y'all were cool. Are you really just going to laugh at him right now over this?
RILEY: I sure the fuck am! After all his mouth this season, this shit is hilarious. I'm not laughing at him spreading it, just at the twist at him having it after trying to pin ho shit on other people. So, what is the truth Giovanni?
JASER CRUZ: Yo wtf!
MILES BALENCIAGA: Giovanni donāt sit there and say you didnāt tell me that.
GIOVANNI WESTON: Why are you doing this here?
MILES BALENCIAGA: Because Iām not about to let your fucking boyfriend walk out here and act like heās the victim, heās a hoe and everyone in Atlanta had a piece.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: So how do you know that he smashed DelontĆØ?
MILES BALENCIAGA: Because DelontĆØ said the two had sex, I know DelontĆØ because Iāve styled him and Iāve hung out with him personally and he told me this information.
ISAIAH WOLFE: So yāall just sitting around talking about me?
MILES BALENCIAGA: I mean we were talking about everyone, I told him I had just joined the show and when your name was brought up, he said he fucked you and then that same night you went home and had sex with my best friend.
ISAIAH WOLFE: You are such a fucking liar, like I wonāt sit on this stage and listen to this bullshit without putting my hands on him.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Well DelontĆØ couldnāt be here tonight but we did have him do a lie detector test and I have the results with me right now.
Roquel pulls out an envelope from side of her, she opens the envelope and starts reading the piece of paper.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: When It was asked if you and DelontĆØ had sex, he openly admitted to the lie detector test that you two indeed had sex.
Giovanniās mouth opens in shock. Riley is again seen cackling while sinking in his seat.
GIOVANNI WESTON: You gotta be fucking kidding me, this is a fucking joke.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: No joke.
ISAIAH WOLFE: Look ok we did hook up, but that shit was way before Giovanni, we werenāt even official yet and I donāt know it just happened.
MILES BALENCIAGA: See I told you he was lying.
ISAIAH WOLFE: But that other shit is lies though Miles, I donāt know what you think your doing but you playing with people's lives and I donāt like that shit.
MILES BALENCIAGA: What happens in the dark eventually comes to life so be lucky I helped expose your demons, my best friend deserved to know he was dating a hoe. You over here calling Jaser and Riley all types of hoes and whores but you out here doing the same thing.
RILEY: Oh, look. Isaiah getting worked up and ready to fight over a rumor and feeling completely in the right. Where have I seen this before? Y'all, know what the word āhypocrite' means right?
JASER CRUZ: Now Iām not a religious man but he just gave us the sermon of all sermons.
ISAIAH WOLFE: Their irrelevant at this point, my life is way different than those two.
JASER CRUZ: The gag of it all that while you were sitting there on your high horse calling me and my friend out of our names you were the one actually doing the dirt. Youāre a whole ass joke nigga I canāt.
RILEY: The only difference is you were fucking other niggas but felt the need to lie about it. And for what? I mean...I like to have fun but I was always upfront with mine. Hell, there might be some truths to Milesā whole story. Trifling and dirty as fuuuuuuck.
Jaser And Riley both laugh holding each other playfully
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Well Wait I want to hear from Giovanni.
GIOVANNI WESTON: I donāt even know what to say honestly, Isaiah swore up and down he had no dealings with this dude but now all of sudden he wants to admit that he did in fact fuck this nigga. Like what else are you hiding from me?
MILES BALENCIAGA: Atlanta is small baby, business travels fast.
ISAIAH WOLFE: Maybe you should stay out of people's business, like live your own life.
MILES BALENCIAGA: Iām a blogger honey, yāall business is my job, stop being so damn messy then maybe I wonāt have anything to report on you about.
ISAIAH WOLFE: A fake blogger, get a real a job.
MILES BALENCIAGA: Baby how about you get a real job and stop living off Daddyās coin and this show.
ISAIAH WOLFE: I model and host parties.
MILES BALENCIAGA: And whoever hires you to host their parties is a fool.
ISAIAH WOLFE: At least I get gigs, something a few of yāall on this stage canāt get.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Oh youāve been hanging around Chanel way too long.
CHANEL SNOW: Oh he learned from the best.
Chanel snaps her fingers, flipping her hair to the side.
MILES BALENCIAGA: And thatās his problem, he needs his own identity.
ISAIAH WOLFE: I got one and it seems like your very much infatuated with it because you canāt seem to keep my name out your mouth.
MILES BALENCIAGA: Baby donāt flatter yourself, your a typical run thru of Atlanta, niggas pull up, run thru that ass and bounce.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Miles you are on a roll tonight Chile, i canāt keep up with all this shade and tea your spilling.
ISAIAH WOLFE: I mean heās obviously angry about something.
MILES BALENCIAGA: Yes I hate the fact that heās dating my best friend when I know the type of person he is. I told Giovanni that he needed to watch out for Isaiah and take it slow, the boy is just drama.
ISAIAH WOLFE: Miles you donāt know me, and thatās real. I think heās just mad Giovanni isnāt fucking him because itās clear that your in love with him.
MILES BALENCIAGA: Thatās my best friend, you sound crazy.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Giovanni, do you think Miles is in love with you?
GIOVANNI WESTON: Thatās not the first time Iāve heard someone tell me that, but I donāt believe it myself.
MILES BALENCIAGA: We have been friends a very long time and i never once looked at him like that. Iām very overprotective of him which is why I donāt like that heās with Isaiah.
ISAIAH WOLFE: Well get over it because Iām not going anywhere.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: I hope you two can work out your differences, you have to understand that if Isaiah and Giovanni are going to be together then you two will have to get along.
ISAIAH WOLFE: Not really.
MILES BALENCIAGA: Iām not interested.
RILEY: Don't even bother. Isaiah can't even get through a simple sit down without trying to get his lil digs in. It'd be a waste of time really.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Yes I can see that, moving on. We saw another new face join the cast of #theLIFE and even though he was new, he was still a familiar face.
Roquel looks at Sean Williams.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: We dealt with rumors in the past about you joining the show but that was the LA franchise, so why ATL?
SEAN WILLIAMS: At that time when they offered me to be on LA it just wasnāt good timing for me. I had other things going on and I couldnāt commit to the schedules they had for me. But for the past year Iāve been living in Atlanta because after my mom and my son moved back from London, instead of coming to LA she chose ATL.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: So production comes knocking on your door and what happens?
SEAN WILLIAMS: London thought it would be good for me to be on the show, to get myself back out there and just reintroduce me back into the world. Iāve never really been private about my life, at one point my name was always in the blogs so me being able to show the world what my life was really like made me want to do it more.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: So we got to see Vincent Banks on the show, And you two kind of reconcile I hear.
SEAN WILLIAMS: We did.
Sean pauses, blushing a little.
SEAN WILLIAMS: But itās nothing like that, weāre working on our friendship and everythingās been great so far.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Do you two plan on getting back together?
SEAN WILLIAMS: We havenāt talked about it, but itās weird because when weāre out together, we kind of find ourselves acting like weāre a couple and thatās weird to me.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: It was great seeing you on the show and having you around, i also noticed that you didnāt really interact with anyone else on the show.
SEAN WILLIAMS: Itās nothing against them but I really didnāt know anyone else so for me itās was no reason to sit around and have fake scenes. I wouldnāt be against meeting these people and maybe forming friendships but the opportunity never presented itself. Now since the show has aired, I have hung around a few of these guys off camera and we have great relationships.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Iām curious who?
SEAN WILLIAMS: Well I know Richie Rich from modeling shows weāve done together, Iāve met Jaser a few times because of mutual friends we have and I just recently hosted a gig in Virginia with the Wood Brothers and we had fun.
JAĆSHON WOOD: Yes we did.
SEAN WILLIAMS: But again I wouldnāt mind hanging out with the other men in this group. I think everyone brought something different to the show and everyone has their own personality and I like that.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: What do you think about the fighting on the show?
SEAN WILLIAMS: I mean itās sad, even if you feel like itās needed itās still sad to see. Some of these dudes on this stage are savages and I could really see yāall hurting someone. I just hope it never gets that serious.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Thank you Sean, I feel so bad because my boo Blair over here playing with his dreads. Baby we didnāt forget about you boo!
Roquel smiles, showing off her beautiful white teeth and smile.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: When we first saw you Blair, you were dealing with Trinity and then hanging with LaLa, fighting with Hadi and getting upset with your brother for telling his personal business on television so we can all say youāve had quite the season too.
BLAIR WOOD: itās definitely been a lot. To say the least.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: So breakdown this timeline with you and Trinity because I feel like yāall dated for one episode and then next thing I know your kicking it with LaLa.
BLAIR WOOD: Trini and I dated off season. We dated for a few weeks. I mean It was me and Jae. We were at some party and I saw a beautiful woman. At the time I didnāt know what i was. I just thought she was an attractive female. So when she told me I was kinda bugged out but Iām intrigued at the same time.
TRINITY MONROE: He brushed me off at first. He was like naaaaah! I canāt fade! He was so gagged.
BLAIR WOOD: I was! I donāt wanna sound disrespectful but she was badder tha most bitches that was born that way. So I kept her number and we eventually kicked it. But I donāt think I was ready for her. Trini was like already together. Established. The whole nine. Iām just tryna make it out here. I just wasnāt really her speed. But itās all love. She actually introduced me to La.
LALA ST. CLAIRE Yea and I almost wanted to return to sender.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Why would you say that.
LALA ST. CLAIRE Blair is just a piece of work. Itās all love
ROQUEL WEATHERS: What's going on with you and LaLa now?
BLAIR WOOD: I mean you wanna handle that la? Or should I?
LALA ST. CLAIRE Blair still struggles with the idea that I am a trans woman who is fine with being pre op. Iām not in a rush to go under the knife. But as of right now I mean we still kick it. We donāt have no titles but he donāt deny this pussy cat
BLAIR WOOD: donāt put it like that. Itās more than just that.she just gotta understand that this is all new to me. But Iām trying and I rock with her. Itās not like Iām hiding her from anybody.on national tv. Itās just an adjustment.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: So why did you get upset with JaĆØshon for opening up to you about his past life in prostitution?
BLAIR WOOD: Wouldnāt anybody? I just felt like that shit was so out of nowhere and I just felt like with all the cameras around it was just too much. I guess Iām a lil bit more private than everybody else. But I guess I did sign up for a reality show so.
JAĆSHON WOOD: I could understand why he was upset, maybe that was something I should have prepared him for before just bringing it up on TV. But I was also thinking about how I could help someone else by sharing my story.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: To me Blair doesnāt seem like the type that likes to share feelings or be put in uncomfortable situations. I mean look at how he handled the situation with meeting Hadi, JaĆØshon was so opened to the idea while Blair was against it.
BLAIR WOOD: I guess you can say Iām introverted. You see I was really only ever with my girl or my brother. And some shit just aināt for cameras. At least in my eyes.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Hadi, how did it make you feel knowing that Blair did not want to meet with you, while JaĆØshon was more open and welcoming to you?
HADRIAN ALI: I'll admit. I wanted to know why Blair didnāt want to meet with me, but I didn't let it faze me, because I was still adamant about meeting up with my brothers. I was set on it after hearing that they lived here in Atlanta.
BLAIR WOOD: I guess at the time I just felt like nobody tried hard enough. But thatās on me too.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Where does you two relationship stand now?
BLAIR WOOD: Well that night, after we all met at the diner, I called my dad. And I asked him to tell me the truth. And he just came out and told me. That shot was kinda wild cuz all these years I always was close with him and I thought he was the perfect person. But after that I was kinda fucked up so I wanna apologize to both my brothers for not being there for them and just blindly following our dad.
HADRIAN ALI: I'll take the blame for not being honest with yall at that time. I was still at that beginner's stage.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: JaĆØshon Why was it so easy for you to open up and let Hadi in?
JAĆSHON WOOD: Iām all about family, so no matter what happened I just wanted us to all get along. I understood why Blair was against it though and he had every reason to be, but I just wanted him to get past that and just try to have a relationship with Hadi.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Where do you and Hadi stand now with your relationship?
JAĆSHON WOOD: I mean heās my big brother, so Iām slowly learning him so far everythingās been cool between us.
HADRIAN ALI: Yeah, weāve been able to connect more often than what yall seen on the show. Just some things he felt like discussing in private that he didnāt want everybody to see or hear.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: I mean family is important and you guys are real family, even if you have to take it slow you guys should really work on building a relationship.
Roquel looks at Kaliyah Kane.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: The beautiful Kaliyah Kane, what is going on girl?
KALIYAH KANE: Nothing much, just keeping my promise and making my appearance to show that my words do hold weight that I would be here tonight. You know I had to support my loved ones tonight.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Babygirl what brought you to this ratchet ass show?
KALIYAH KANE: To be honest, when I reconnected with Jase after all of this time and saw what he was putting up with on the show, i definitely wanted to get on here just to be close by. And without even knowing my connection to him, it didnt take time for the hate to roll about me asap from a certain Pokemonās mouth.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Well baby you definitely brought the spice and the sexiness to the show. I lived for your styles and how humble you were.
KALIYAH KANE: Why thank you, thatās greatly appreciated for real. Most times I really just kept it together because sometimes you gotta fight negativity with positivity. But then other times you gotta let your haters know that they can get that blow back anytime if they asking for it.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Were you nervous when the cameras came around? Iām sure your use to being in front of the camera but in a situation like this It had to be a little different unless youāve done reality before.
Chanel laughs sarcastically.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Whatās funny Chanel?
CHANEL SNOW: I mean I donāt understand why we are wasting time on an extra? Why is she even out here on the stage when she should be backstage grabbing us drinks, waters, something else.
KALIYAH KANE: And thiiiiis is exactly why she in the hot seat now, wanna be running that mouth of hers but crying victim. Dont worry, boo Ima make you a victim soon enough but let me get back to these questions though. Anywaysā¦ I will say it was different being filmed for a reality show because Iām not used to cameras being on me as much as they are when its required for a show. I do my photo shoots and its a wrap, I film my music videos with the choreo and the scenes and its over with. Cameras catch me on stage shining and grinding and then thats it.. But with a reality show, the cameras are more on you following your every move throughout the day so itās definitely a very different experience for me. Sure the paparazzi be out for blood tailing you but you can lose them. With reality shows, they gotta be there filming you and not going nowhere. Now back to this scrub, I do wanna know whats your deal with me tho...
ROQUEL WEATHERS: What is your issue with Kali? Is it because sheās friends with Jaser?
CHANEL SNOW: If she chooses to hang around trash then thatās her business, but it has nothing to do with her relationship with that bum.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: So whatās the problem?
CHANEL SNOW: I didnāt like some of the stuff she said about me, and then she hopped her ass in my business with Jaser when she shouldnāt have so once she got involved then she felt my wrath.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: That is her family, and I do remember that you didnāt have anything to say nice about her from the beginning.
KALIYAH KANE: First of all, you did an interview and trashed me ASAP soon as I was announced for the show so don't start with the, you didn't like what I said about you because they were in response to what you said about ME when you started all of this off. Secondly, you damn right Ima get involved when it comes to Jase because that's my fam and nobodyā¦. Maleā¦ womanā¦ ITā¦ will NEVER get off with disrespecting him like that.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Well you know Iām not a fan of violence and Kali your boyfriend did make some harmful threats towards Chanel and some of the other casts which is another reason we have security so tight tonight, what do you have to say about his actions? I understand heās defending you but to make those type of threats.
CHANEL SNOW: Heās a clown just like his bitch.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Chanel, let Kali answer the question please.
KALIYAH KANE: Watch ya mouth, bitch. But Ms. Roquel, D is just very overprotective of me. He doesnt appreciate a grown ass man wearing his mommaās silky panties tryna come for me especially when I never even did anything to him, herā¦ IT in the first damn place to warrant those smart ass starting responses from day one. The King protects his Queen and vice versa and ima need you to watch my manās MMA fights before you fix your lips to ever call him a clown. Heās one of the best and you dont wanna see him in no streets so you betta chill on that, big bird.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: To be honest Chanel you really donāt have a reason to have an issue with Kali except the fact sheās friends with Jaser but this beef is petty and it could lead to something dangerous if yāall donāt kill the noise now.
CHANEL SNOW: Tell her to get off my show, no ratchet hoes allowed.
KALIYAH KANE: What about me is ratchet really? Are you that simple minded that all you can do is call people ratchet.. brokeā¦ poorā¦ hoes? Pretty ridiculous that you have to constantly SCREAM and SHOUT that this is your show but meanwhile, this aint Muppets Central.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Chanel please cut it out. Anyway Kali, speaking of your boyfriend though, tell us a little about him and where you guys are today?
KALIYAH KANE: Well as you can seeā¦ heās definitely willing to ride for yours truly and heās very loyal. Right now, we keep busy schedules so we dont see each other as much as we used to but thatās going to change soon once our schedules straighten out. Even though the world sees that aggressive and hardbodied side of him, he actually has a very sweet and romantic side to him. We have had our downs but what relationship doesnāt? Heās the one for me and Ima always hold him down. Next month is the big day and although I have a bit of wedding jitters, Iām pretty excited and anxious for us to finally make it down the aisle.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Youāre friends with Trapp and it seems like you two have a real genuine friendship, tell me a little about that?
KALIYAH KANE: One of the things I love about Trapp is his huge heart and how considerate he is. When something is wrong, he actually sits back and thinks about things in a way to think things through and if you need someone to talk to, he tries to be there for you one way or another. I can always count on him to be straight with me with the honesty, serving me that straight shoota with no chaser when it comes to speaking his mind.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: So as a friend if you could give your friend some advice, what would you say to Trapp about his current situation with Dallas and Jalen?
KALIYAH KANE: I just wanna tell him that heās a real one for sticking it through with Jalen and holding him down, no matter how messy things get. He always says everything in the dark comes to light and it always does, the biggest thing is trying to figure out what to do once it does. In life, youāre always going to be faced with obstacles, with trials and tribulations but if you trust in God and believe in his word, youāll always make it through it.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: It seems like you know a lot when it comes to having good friendships and relationship. You and Jaser also are close friends too, correct?
KALIYAH KANE: Jase is actually my fam. Its one of those things we just kept underwraps when I joined the show to not give our connection away but there was no way I was about to let Chanel get away with coming for me and ESPECIALLY coming for Jase too.
CHANEL SNOW: Awe two fake ass friends together, isnāt that sweet?
KALIYAH KANE: Bitch, close it before I close it for you.
JASER CRUZ: Next to Riley she knows me the best. We like literally grew up together no lie. Sheās family. The bond we got that trash over there wish he had.
CHANEL SNOW: Yāall both some bums, like I said before please let these two go because they make the show look bad.
KALIYAH KANE: You been makin the show look bad with your trash ass wigs and walking around in those Payless heels showing off them chicken legs of yours.
CHANEL SNOW: Girl shut your fake ass up, your hairs fake, your relationship is fake, your whole existence is fake.
KALIYAH KANE: HOW is my WHOLE GENUINE ENGAGEMENTā¦ FAKE? Weāre going to reach two years of being together this year, we didnt randomly get together months ago to film for a show for a storyline, how dumb can you be? Existence cant be fake if Iām sitting here real as day in front of your face, you walking trainwreck. But you know what? Iām done talkin...
Kaliyah jumps up from couch, rushing pass security, she hops on stage and lunges for Chanel, she screams out as she connects with a punch knocking Chanel backwards. Security rushes the stage grabbing Kaliyah by the arms yanking her away from Chanel who at the points is trying to jump off the couch. Jaser is shown jumping up and getting restrained by security as well.
KALIYAH KANE: NOW WHO FAKE NOW, YOU WEAK ASS BITCH!!!
CHANEL SNOW: FIRE HER ASS. SHE'S A BUM!
KALIYAH KANE: GOT MORE MONEY THAN YOU, HOE!!!
CHANEL SNOW: FUCK YOU HOE.
JASER CRUZ: WATCH YA MOUTH PUNK ASS BITCH! Yāall better get your hands off my fucking cousin!.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Kaliyah we advise you that fighting was prohibited sweetie and sadly I have to ask you to leave the stage.
KALIYAH KANE: Oh trust me itās fine, I said all I had to say, Iāll kindly leave the premises with a smile on my face knowing how i kept ALL them promises. Told you I was going to lay hands on you, bitch.
CHANEL SNOW: I got something for you hoe, just watch.
KALIYAH KANE: You aint got nothin for me but your weak ass threats, I handled mine today.
Security escorts Kaliyah off the stage and backstage, the scene cuts back to the stage where Roquel is shown shaking her head.
JASER CRUZ: See thatās the shit I been saying about that hoe over there. Heās a instigator. From day 1 whoās caused this much shit with all the lying and shit talking? One common denominator. That Hoe Over There. You lied on your āclose friendā saying she stole $5k from you. Like youāre trash. You and your little mutt over there where spreading rumors and lying on mine and my friends character yet the whole time yāall where the dirty ones. Literally dirty dick and all, Fido over there couldnāt keep it to himself. Hypocrite ass frauds.
Rileyās laughing calms down as he comes back in grooving his shoulders and singing to the tune of Yo Gottiās āJuiceā.
RILEY: š¶D-R-I-P-P-I-N-G. Nigga got some hot sauce dripping out that D. He got that Syph. He got that itch. Gave it around. Ain't that a bitch?š¶
JASER CRUZ: Now thatās just rude. I live!
Jaser starts laughing and humming along to Riley.
CHANEL SNOW: Sheās hilarious just like both of yāalls career.
Chanel flips her hair to the side unbothered by Kaliās attack.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Look letās move on. Mr. Riley sir, itās time for the hot seat. This season you were all the way turnt, you really spoke your mind this season.
RILEY: Uhm... - haha, I wouldn't say ALL-all the way. When I signed on I made an effort to just mind my business and not get involved with any drama because I didn't want any around me whatsoever. But what went down last season and on Twitter and this season with all the shots being taken, it all kinda got to me and I couldn't really bottle up my emotions anymore like I normally do. Which isn't healthy anyway, I think.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: How did you enjoy filming this season?
RILEY: Aside from dealing with ignorant, lying, loud & wrong niggas? It was fine.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: This season you kind of introduced a new friend to us, Lee? Can you explain your relationship with Lee?
Riley lowers his head, hiding a smile. The camera cuts to JaĆØshon rolling his eyes.
RILEY: I met Lee a little after the first season ended. We met up and talked about random shit like anime, movies and making music, since he was studio engineer and had more experience than I did. I feel bad now because he didn't want to do the show, but the cameras had to follow me around and eventually catch him too. Which is why his ass is over there choosing not to say anything.
Riley laughs a lil bit as Lee shrugs with a smile on his face.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: From The Look on JaĆØshonās face he looks a little annoyed, you were pursuing a relationship with JaĆØshon so donāt you think your connection with Lee would affect your growing relationship with JaĆØshon?
RILEY: Well...here's the thing, I was honest with JaĆ© on what my relationship with Lee is. He and I are business partners and friends, obviously with some benefits. I don't know if JaĆ©ās feelings have changed but he was cool with that at the start.
ISAIAH WOLFE: Ha, you canāt turn a hoe into a house husband.
RILEY: And you can't cure a disease without spreading it first?
CHANEL SNOW: Nah you should have said wife because he is a bitch.
RILEY: Says the nigga in fishnets and run-over heels.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Yāall Chill.
RILEY: IāM cool. I'm only reacting to the bullshit.
JASER CRUZ: Literally all we do when it comes to those clowns over there.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Chanel did mention this season that you were attending sex anonymous classes because you may have a sex addiction, I mean last season you were caught up in that mess with Isaiah and your ex and now this season you're involved with Lee and JaĆØshon.
CHANEL SNOW: I mean hey itās the truth, he has a problem and I heard his sex wasnāt even all that great.
ISAIAH WOLFE: BIBLE!
RILEY: But had you laying up on my couch and bed hawking me for a relationship. We got a whole season to look back on how you was sprung before you morphed into Chanelās mini me, so lie again if you want to. - But look, when I was younger I spent a whole year, or maybe even two, staying committed and loyal to my ex, Khalil, while he was out sleeping with every dude and chick that would open their legs for him. Then he would make ME feel bad for trying to leave him and meet other people. So for all that time I was under his thumb like some stepford whenever he called and it eventually got me locked up trying to cover for his ass. So when my cousin got me out that I made it a mission to have fun and just live! Catch up on those months I spent being a fucking prisoner. Bobby Brown said āi don't see nothing wrong with spreading myself aroundā. My prerogative. I just make sure I'm always safe and all cards are on the table tho.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Let's switch gears for a second, you expanded your resume this season for the life by introducing a soundtrack and working with some of the artist on the show, tell me how that came about and do you plan on working on any future projects?
RILEY: Lee and I did a interview where we go into detail, but after the first season I was blessed to be a part of some television projects and work with people like Phoenix and Jazmine Sullivan and Kendrick Lamar and so on. So when music for this season came up, we couldn't pass up. Anytime I'm in that studio working on anything I'm happy. And I would love to work with other artists from different The Life seasons of the opportunity comes up. Like with Yosef. He raps right? Because...fine as hell.
Riley laughs.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: You know I have to bring up your sit down with Isaiah? Why did you agree to do it and were you upset with how it went?
RILEY: I agreed because, like you said earlier, Isaiah and I were once cool so weād be able to sit down and be civil right? Nah. The second I get there he resorts to the blame game and name calling. All the fighting and animosity between us? Stemmed from their words and escalated by their actions.
ISAIAH WOLFE: Riley is phony, he hides behind Jaser and plays the roll of his minion. He needs his own identity because he surely doesnāt have one living in Jaserās shadow.
RILEY: Minion? Bitch, you can count Chanelās heartbeats how far you up her ass. Jaser and I are friends who respect each other. You and Chanel are carbon copies with one mind.
ISAIAH WOLFE: I liked Riley at one point but his drama was just way to much for me, Iām good over here while he stay over there with his bum crew.
RILEY: See that, Roquel? āMYā drama, like his hand wasn't involved in spreading the flames at all. Fuck him.
Riley, getting a bit aggravated by now, just leaned back in his seat waiting for the next question.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: We saw you snap at the joint birthday party, i think that was your first fight ever. What made you go crazy like that?
CHANEL SNOW: Attention, he knew he was boring and needed to secure a spot for next season.
RILEY: You wanna talk about attention? Aiite. Who showed up at the party when they weren't even invited? Who makes it their business to to run to Twitter with some slick ass remark then cry wolf when they get called out? Who lied on their friend owing them money just to create some beef for the first season? Who scheduled a sit down just to throw shade and continue beef? Y'all niggas are fucking irksome and delusional. No wonder y'all can only get along with each other.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: But that fight was crazy, I was scared for everyone involved.
RILEY: They showed up after talking shit and didn't expect nothing to go down. I've said this before, I'm more calm than Jaser, so I knew my boy was angry and was gonna scrap and I let them at it because I know he can handle his own. It wasn't until Isaiah got involved is where I started throwing hands. I wasn't about to let them weak bitches gang up on him. That's why I snap. That got me heated as fuck.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Speaking of the party though, Riley that outfit was a little risquƩ, I mean you barely wore anything.
Ry lets out a small laugh while avoiding eye contact and playing with his ear.
RILEY: It was dead last minute and I couldn't think of anything else. I got out the shower that night, put on some draws, looked in the mirror and...just kinda went for it.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Back to your relationship with JaĆØshon, at the party Miles kind of let out the bag that JaĆØshon use to prostitute, how did that make you feel?
RILEY: I couldn't be anything else but shocked really. Also, I wasn't really sure how true it was so I somewhat ignored it until I couldn't anymore.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Iām sure that upset you too JaĆØshon when you saw that clip.
JAĆSHON WOOD: I wasnāt upset just disappointed because I wanted to tell him myself. I knew eventually people would find out because once you become a little famous, then thatās when all your secrets come to light.
MILES BALENCIAGA: Look i wasnāt trying to be shady, I just figured he knew because people were talking about it. The gay community is known for escorting so honestly I didnāt think it was going to be a big deal.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Baby thatās a big deal, that could possibly ruin careers.
MILES BALENCIAGA: I donāt think he was worried about his career because he brought it up on the show and in interviews. If he was doing it now then yes maybe it could be career suicide but he isnāt.
JAĆSHON WOOD: I mean it doesnāt matter now, itās out in the open so. Iām only focused on the future and not the mistakes I made when I was younger.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: So Riley does his past affect your relationship with him now and are you still pursuing a relationship with JaĆØshon?
RILEY: No. Even when I find out, I was still checking up on him making sure he was okay. Especially after what he, Lee and I did in the studio. Wasn't sure if it brought up past memories because after that he was avoiding me for awhile. But I found out later that it was because his ex came back in town.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: If thereās another season will you sign on again?
CHANEL SNOW: Please donāt.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Chanel let him answer the question girl, donāt be petty.
Chanel rolls her eyes.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Besides, I heard a rumor that they came to you with a contract for the third season MONTHS ago and you hadn't signed it yet.
Riley sucks in his lips and shrugs not really sure what to say.
RILEY: I mean...still time. Soā¦..
he shrugs again.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: So Blair what do you think about the relationship between JaĆØshon and Riley?
BLAIR WOOD: I mean. I donāt really know what to think. Thatās his business. All I care about is making sure twin good. If dude makes him happy thatās wussup. But Iām watching from a distance soā¦-
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Riley it seems like you really want true love, but you look for it in all the wrong people. Maybe take things slow and I think you two would make a cute couple.
RILEY: Damn, y'all love that word ācouple'.
Riley nervously laughs playing with his ear again.
RILEY: Well, Shon and I have talked it over plenty of times where I told him that I don't know if I'm ācoupleā material and he even said the same at one point. But...I don't know...time brings changes.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Well let's ask your best friend too, Jaser how do you feel about the relationship between JaĆØshon and Riley?
JASER CRUZ: Iām here for it honestly. Compared to the trash heās dated in the past.
Jaser pauses and looks over at Isaiah and snickers then looks back at Roquel.
JASER CRUZ: I think they both are genuine good guys that both want the same thing. Theyāll make it work.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Mr. Cruz! I was excited to see you here tonight, I just knew I was going to see you flying across this stage at Chanel.
CHANEL SNOW: He not that dumb.
JASER CRUZ: Iāve already dragged you off one stage Iām not afraid to do it again hun pipe down.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Iāve never seen two people hate each other as much as yāall do, itās sad. Anyway, how have things been since wrapping up this season?
JASER CRUZ: Things have been good. Iāve been on tour with SAP Wrestling. Weāre currently touring Through Canada right now which is a blast. Iām still working my photography business on the side as well a few acting gigs.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Baby I thought you werenāt coming back since we didnāt see you on the first episode, you gagged the hell out of us when you popped up, so what happened?
JASER CRUZ: I almost didnāt come back honestly. Dealing with the drama of the others was just a bit much. Like I got attacked twice last season and then in both Instances when I had the upper hand Iām the person in the wrong? Like it was a bit much. And then me and Jaiden started vibing again. I was hesitant to bring him into this world.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: You got a new boo I see, how did you and Jaiden meet?
JASER CRUZ: We met years ago in New York. In passing.
JAIDEN: I moved to Atlanta about a year ago and when I got down here I hit him up. We would hang here and there and then once things ended with his last relationship we started talking.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: We didnāt see much of your relationship this season, were you afraid of the reality tv curse when it comes to couples being on reality shows?
JASER CRUZ: It was just a timing thing. Jaiden works a lot and heās in the music industry. Sometimes away 2-3 weeks at a time flying back and forth from New York to Atlanta.
CHANEL SNOW: Thatās a paid boyfriend so, Iām shocked he can keep up with the payments.
ISAIAH WOLFE: FACTS!
JASER CRUZ: Here he go with that bullshit again. And Mr clam over there shouldnāt be worrying about others relationships when you could be using that time to clap that gunk out yours and Gioās dicks.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Jaser! Language young man. And Whoa Wait, why do you think Jaser is paying Jaiden to be his boyfriend?
CHANEL SNOW: Well Jaser needs to hurry up and finish his sex change first, this butch lesbian phase is all an act, heās on a trial period before he makes that decision to become a real woman.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Girl!
JASER CRUZ: Chanel hun why must you continue with your transphobic ass snide remarks. Itās disgusting you joke about that shit when people out there really dealing with shit. We all know you hate the fact the hair that grows out of my scalp is more lush than any wig those fat sausage for fingers could make.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Lets get back on topic here, Chile please yāall are a nuisance. Ha! How are things with Brittnee and Quinn?
JASER CRUZ: Great actually. Quinn is getting bigger every day itās crazy.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Now In the season finale we saw that Quinn wasnāt yours, how has that news affected you?
JASER CRUZ: It was hard. In the courtroom when they read the results I was sad. It was tough but we got past it.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: This season you werenāt portrayed as the hot head, minus the drama with Chanel and her crew, but why were you so calm this season?
JASER CRUZ: I had Quinn in my life. I didnāt want him to see his dad on tv being like I was first season. I was a angry kid with a lot of pent up anger.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: How are things with you and the Mean Girls?
CHANEL SNOW: He wishes he could be one but he could never, we donāt share seats with bums.
JASER CRUZ: Iām moving on in a better direction with my life that doesnāt include stressing or worrying about them.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: At your joint party with Riley, you attacked Chanel and it turned out to be one big brawl, why?
JASER CRUZ: She wasnāt invited. Last time we were face to face I told her on site. I gave her a couple minutes to remove herself from the situation but she stayed. And got dragged out. She can claim this and that on twitter but at the end of the day you know you werenāt wanted there. And yet you showed up to make a fool out of us but ended up leaving wigless and bruised. Like always.
CHANEL SNOW: He needed to secure that spot baby, he knew he wasnāt coming back next season because production was tired of his bullshit.
JASER CRUZ: Baby girl who on this stage has the most people gunning for them? Not me bitch. I donāt need to do anything to secure my spot unlike you. I donāt waste my time on radio shows and twitter making lies and talking shit about others. Cause we all saw the results on twitter of who the fans donāt want here anymore. And guess what? My name wasnāt first or second place. Unlike yours and mr mug shot model over there.
CHANEL SNOW: Whatever.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Any words for the other side of the room?
JASER CRUZ: Chanel find better wig glue. Isaiah youāre truly trash. Like the literal definition of it. Look in the dictionary your picture is there next to it. Gio, I have no issues with your cool but why stay with a dirty dick nigga that gave you a std? I mean sureitās a curable one this time but whoās to say the next one wonāt be?
as the crowd gives a uhhh Isaiah jumps up and leaps at Jaser but gets tackled to the ground by the security while Jaser and Riley laugh.
JASER CRUZ: Such a sad girl.
Jaser looks back at Roquel.
JASER CRUZ: And the others I donāt have anything to say to honestly no shade.
LEGEND DIOR: Well he shouldnāt have any words for me because Iāve never had an issue with Jaser. Heās the immature one that canāt be friends with me because Iām friends with Chanel and Isaiah. Iāve never got involved in their drama, Iāve never co-signed any of that bullshit so for them to have an issue with me is crazy.
JASER CRUZ: There is no issue with you. Weāve done this two reunion shows now with this nonexistent ass issues of ours you keep addressing. We just donāt fuck with you plain and simple. And Honestly I think itās you with the issue. Iām not the one that got on radio with those thots and made jokes about me and Riley and laughed along. Not once did you tell them to stop or check them for their bullshit. But you wanna get on stage and bitch about us not reaching out to you or trying to be buddy buddy with you. Like I said before phones go both ways suh. So miss me with that shit Legend stay mad you canāt sit with us cause weāre dope as fuck unlike the company you keep.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Oh gosh a read. Yāall not pulling any punches tonight.
RILEY: It's been too long dealing with this shit. Niggas don't understand unless you spell it out for them.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: What do you have going on for the future Mr. Cruz? Any club appearance? Ha!
JASER CRUZ: Like I said on twitter in response to the lady in drag over there I donāt need to go to these club appearances to boost my fragile ego and low self esteem. I donāt have to run and holler saying what Iām doing with my life every hour on twitter or act holier than thou. My future includes me wrestling more winning a title at SAP and continuing to build my brand.
CHANEL SNOW: I wonāt even comment, itās not worth it. His time on this couch is limited anyway, so whatever.
JASER CRUZ: So why open that big ass mouth of yours hoe? You know you canāt back up anything that comes out it.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Fellas! I have to move on. I want to bring Jaiden out from the back because i wanted to ask him a few questions also, he was involved in a little drama this season so I definitely want to hear his side Chile.
CHANEL SNOW: Oh gosh another extra, we just got rid of one.
JASER CRUZ: Whereās your renta boyfriend at? Whatās his name Chico? Couldnāt afford to pay alfred to swing by tonight Chanel?
Chanel throws her hand up in Jaserās direction as Jaiden walks out from the back and takes a seat on the couch beside Jaser.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Hey Jaiden!
JAIDEN: Hello Mars. Roquel, itās cool to be here.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Now we didnāt see much of you this season but when we did see you boo, you was making it known you were around. But why sign on and be so absent?
JAIDEN: I Work a lot in music production behind the scenes and on tour with my group. When I wasnāt present I was chasing my paper.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: A man about his money we can respect that. Were you ready for what you were getting yourself into when you got with Jaser?
JAIDEN: I knew before he had a attitude issue and didnāt like taking orders from others but he always had this sweet side to him. No ones perfect and I can tell you the guy Iām sitting next to has changed and grown up so much. The old Jaser wouldnāt have let Chanel talk crazy to him as long as she has been tonight.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: So this season you had some issues with Brittnee, care to tell me a little about that and how that came about?
JAIDEN: It was just a lot of back and forth from each of us. Sheāll tell you we were both immature about the situation. I came directly after she did so in her head I took him from her but that wasnāt the case.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Well Brittnee will also join us shortly and share her side of the story, but Brittnee wasnāt the only person you had an issue with this season, it seems like you and Dallas had some words for each other on Twitter?
JAIDEN: It was just a dumb thing that got more heat than it should have honestly. And the tv cuts and shows what they want to make a better story. Everyone has an opinion, doesnāt make it valid however.
DALLAS REED: I called out bitch behavior. Wasnāt no smoke till dude got in his feelings.
JAIDEN: I never got in mine but you sure seemed pressed when a nigga dropped your car fax or should I say mug shot record.
DALLAS REED: Again my dude thatās public record. Couldnāt hide it if I wanted to. You wasnāt dropping no new news dog.
Thereās a slight uhh from the crowd
ROQUEL WEATHERS: So Dallas why did you feel the need to speak about Jaidenās issue with Brittnee?
DALLAS REED: I said why forreal. It was just bitch ass behavior. Iām one of those who was brought up to never put my hand on a female. And a lotta gay dudes think they get a pass cuz they feminine. But you still strong as fuck. Why you fighting a lady. It aināt never been no beef with that nigga cuz I donāt know him but you on tv. Everybody had shit to say about it. Did he go off on every fan that had something to say? Hell no. But he know his spot not solidified after this. So you come after a vet. Cool. You see how many people already hoppin off me to pop off their stories. Why not join the train.
JAIDEN: You werenāt the only one talking about it. You right. But you wasnāt the only one that got lip back so pipe down that vet bullshit. You got what? A season over me? Iām really gone come after a nigga with one season over me to keep my āspotā? Youāre as dumb as you look nigga.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: I think you two just had a misunderstanding and should just squash the drama. I mean Dallas you are already in enough trouble and donāt need all these beefs under your plate?
DALLAS REED: Aināt no beef with me. These niggas getting hype off me.like I said when I first came out here. Iām good
JAIDEN: Yeah, Aināt no beef. Just donāt come at someone over shit you donāt understand and shit that aināt nun ya damn bidness.
Dallas chuckles.
DALLAS REED: Itās national tv bruh. Itās everybody's business. Or you donāt know how tv works?
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Now back to Brittnee, did you guys eventually make up?
JAIDEN: We did actually, despite what happened between Jaser and Brittnee we are still going to be in Quinn's life. Thereās no point in being enemies. We actually get along great now after we sat and just talked and cried and talked some more.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Well Jaiden I enjoyed seeing you on the show and I felt like you made a great addition, will you come back for another season or was this it for you?
JAIDEN: Iāll be back for sure. It was fun but weird watching myself on screen.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Well Iām sure Brittnee is ready to share her side, so Please welcome Brittnee.
Brittnee walks out and also joins Jaiden and Jaser on the couch.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Hey Brittnee Girl.
BRITTNEE JAE: How you doing ms Quel? All these fine men up on this stage, donāt let me find my next baby daddy up here!
The guys along with the crowd all laugh as Riley just scrunches his face in disgust and pops in a pair of headphones while leaning back in his seat.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Youāre silly girl, I like. How are things with Quinn?
BRITTNEE JAE: Heās doing great actually thanks for asking. Heās literally my best friend. Itās crazy something so small could be so perfect.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Well baby Iām about jumping right into the tea, so I want to know if you really thought Jaser was the father?
BRITTNEE JAE: I did. Honestly and truly think he was. Quinn looks like my family. So his curly hair which looks like Jaser's was the biggest factor I just knew for sure he was.
JASER CRUZ: The times when we were messing around I knew she was with someone else but I was sure he was mine. I just had this gut feeling.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: In that moment, how did you take that news?
BRITTNEE JAE: Like Jaser said it was hard. I was embarrassed actually. Jaser pulled me to the side and just let me know everything would be ok and that he wasnāt leaving and heād still be there and it made it better but still it was embarrassing. Then to hear it was making its way around the blogs before it was confirmed was just the kicker.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Luckily we saw all of yāall make up, so how are things going with that?
BRITTNEE JAE: Smoothly once we worked out the kinks.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: In the beginning of the season news broke that a mystery woman was coming on the show claiming to have a baby by one of the cast members, once the parties involved were exposed, you kind of went and cliqued up with some of the enemies, so was that like a strategic move or a genuine friendship?
BRITTNEE JAE: At first on my part it was messy. Iām not gonna lie I was saying things about Jaser that werenāt true. But I grew to appreciate having Chanel around. I know Jaser and Chanel have their own beef for their own reasons and Iām not gonna try to get into that. Chanel has helped me out. And Jaser has as well.
CHANEL SNOW: I only agreed with the fact that Jaser was a deadbeat dad and that was it. We didnāt sit around and have I hate Jaser conversations. I genuinely liked the girl and even gave her advice when I could, we hosted a few gigs together that I helped get her because I wanted to make sure she had some income coming in for her and the baby. Trust me I donāt like Jaser but if a child is involved then I take that serious, you always think about the baby first.
JASER CRUZ: Itās respectable Chanel would do that I had no idea but I still donāt like the bitch.
BRITTNEE JAE: And thatās ok. Like I said my relationship with Jaser and my relationship with Chanel donāt coincide at all.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Do you have any words for your former friends? Maybe some advice on how they can all just get along.
BRITTNEE JAE: I think that ship has sailed. Thereās too much hurt at this point. It was a ego thing at first having heard from both sides but now itās just a hurt thing. If both sides could just see eye to eye and forgive the other Iām sure they could at least be cordial.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: So again Miles was involved in letting another secret out the bag, the secret was Quinnās paternity! Any idea on how he found out?
BRITTNEE JAE: I thought thereād be some kind of journalistic integrity. But then again he runs a gossip site heās not a real journalist. I think when it comes to children it should be hands off period. Like where do we draw the line? This kids didnāt ask for this. They damn sure donāt have a clue whatās going on. Itās sick in my opinion.
The crowd starts to applaud
MILES BALENCIAGA: Iāve explained this before, my gossip or tea is not intentional or malicious. Sometimes i feel as though as friends we are having simple conversations and sometimes that includes other friends we may have. Atlanta is small and people talk and word on the street was this girl was trying to trap Jaser and get money because her real baby father wasnāt shit.
BRITNEE JAE: Hereās the thing tho. You took what I said in passing to someone else and ran with it. You created this whole story about me that wasnāt true and guess who has to deal with that perception? Me, not you Miles.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: But Baby the delivery be so shady.
JASER CRUZ: It was shady. I didnāt sweat it. At the end of the day Brittneeās gonna do what she feels is best for Quinn. Itās just the fact that what was actually said versus what was put out was totally different and far from the truth. It had me looking bad and Britt as well.
MILES BALENCIAGA: Well Look I apologize if I offended anyone or caused any type of drama or pain. I just figured people already knew because it was already being talked about amongst the group and in the circle.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: What do you have to say to Miles now?
BRITTNEE JAE: I donāt have anything to say to him besides thanks for perpetuating me as a unfit mom and a whore.
Still with his head leaning back, Riley lets a church-y āWell!ā spill out his mouth. Jaser nudges him with his elbow and Riley just shrugs.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Riley, thanks for joining us again. And Anything you would like to say Jaser?
BRITTNEE JAE: I love you and thank you for all that you do for Quinn and I.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: And Jaser any words for Miles? It seems like you two arenāt mad at each other, I see you guys show love to each other Twitter and even out in public.
JASER CRUZ: A heads up next time to actually straighten everything up would be appreciated.
ISAIAH WOLFE: Fake friendships donāt last, remember that.
JASER CRUZ: And chlamydia is a std that doesnāt last but leaves a lasting impression on everyone, thot.
MILES BALENCIAGA: Baby your the fakest one on this couch, Chanel needs to watch out for you BITCH!
ISAIAH WOLFEļø: You mad.
MILES BALENCIAGA: Nah you're mad because you know Giovanni about to leave your fucking ass.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Whoa! Whoa! Letās get back to the show.
MILES BALENCIAGA: Then tell that queen to keep her mouth shut before I come do it for her.
ISAIAH WOLFE: Iām sitting right here, jump!
ROQUEL WEATHERS: It wonāt be no jumping, Iām sorry Brittnee for the rudeness of your fellow cast members. What does the future hold for you?
BRITTNEE JAE: Iām gonna continue working as a model thanks to the show Iāve been able to link up with other people in the entertainment industry. Iām looking at getting a music career started soon as well.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Thank you Brittnee for joining us, we wish you the best of luck. Tell Quinn we say Hi!
Brittnee smiles, she gives both Jaser and Jaiden a hug and she walks off stage. Jaiden gets up from the main couch and walks out sitting on the couch opposite of Dallas.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: We still have so much left in this reunion special but baby the tension up here is thick. Everyone needs to relax, weāve made it this far without an issue so letās get through this. Iām going to need a drink after this!
Roquel takes the card again and fans herself.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Hadrian Ali, my future baby daddy. Let me tell you something I have a problem with you.
Hadrian chuckles, before flashing his million dollar smile.
HADRIAN ALI: Oh, you do? And what might that be?
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Where The hell were you this season? I missed seeing all this fineness on my TV screen, now no shade to the other cast members yāall cute and all but Mr. Ali whooooo Chile!
HADRIAN ALI: Ha-ha. I been busy.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: How is the business going?
HADRIAN ALI: Doin real good. I got everythang cleared out. Got the renovations done. All thatās left is ordering the equipment and hiring people.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: So how long will it be before your business is up and running so I can come through in my yoga pants and get some personal training from you?
Hadi gives a short laugh.
HADRIAN: Should be a few more months. Iām determined to get this business up as soon as possible.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Iām also interested in knowing whatās going on with you and Dallas, because this season had only a taste of the tension between you too after it was created last season and continued on, so did you guys finally end your beef?
HADRIAN ALI: You know what? I let that shit go the last reunion after he apologized, but the question is if Dallas is actually willing to do the same.
DALLAS REED: just like I said about everybody else. Iām not on no beefing shot with nobody no more unless they want it with me.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: What can you tell us about the court case, because we only got a sample of it on the show. Is it still an active case?
HADRIAN ALI: On my part, no. With the evidence, they ended up giving me a fine and hours of community service. Iām still workin on it.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: So, what about yours, Dallas?
DALLAS REED: Nah my shit was cleared up with that one. It was the same deal. Was on probation but I violated that shit when me and Trapp fought. Thatās why I went down for a few months
ROQUEL WEATHERS: So alongside your business and legal troubles, Hadrian, this season was also family meeting up for the first time, so before I talk about your relationship with your brothers, tell me a little about your biological father?
HADRIAN ALI: I didnāt know anything about him when I was younger. Moms told me that he just up and left when I was young to go and start a whole new family elsewhere. She didnāt give me any details, and I never thought to ask her.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: So how did you find out about JaĆØshon and Blair?
HADRIAN ALI: I actually thought that my stepdad was my biological father, until I had to get a hold of my birth certificate before I headed out to college. Just to apply for a passport. Thatās when I saw his name. After my mom confirmed it, and told me about him, all that was left was a simple search on the Internet. Finding out about his birth date and birth place led me to him and his business number, so I contacted the place and they directed me to him.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: So how did it feel talking to your biological father?
HADRIAN ALI: I was amazed, but in my mind I had so many questions I wanted to ask him. Personal questions, but thatās when I also heard that he had two sons from another woman, and as mad as I was for Pops to leave me and my mother hangin like that, she moved on from the situation and found someone else.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: And from that, you were able to meet JaĆØshon and Blair. So this season we also found out about JaĆØshon and his past, so, Hadi, how do you feel about JaĆØshon and his past as an escort? And how did you find out?
HADRIAN ALI: He told me the day after I went out to visit him at his apartment. I can say that I felt bad, knowing that I couldnāt go out and do something for him. That I couldnāt reach out a little harder.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Now Iāll address this with JaĆØshon when I get to him, but since Iām talking with you now I kind of want to know your thoughts on the situation. I know that scene where you sat down with JaĆØshon and he had the bruises all over his body, and recently he opened up about a violent relationship he was once involved in, how did that make you feel seeing him in that situation and knowing that he could still be in that situation?
HADRIAN ALI: I knew something was off about him that day, but I could never see what it was, and because he wasnāt so open then to discuss it with me, I let it go, but I told him that if there was any time he wanted to talk to me, he can.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: When did he told you about his past and the violence he endured?
HADRIAN ALI: He told me about it when we were at the restaurant after Blair left.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: So how did you feel about it?
HADRIAN ALI: I mean, he only told me bits and pieces of his past throughout the season, so I was assuming that he was trying to be protective of me and himself. I was glad that he was willing to open up about it.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Now you know I want to know about your love life, how is that going and do you even have a love life?
HADRIAN ALI: Ha-Ha! Maybe...
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Maybe?! My goodness! Spill!
HADRIAN ALI: Youāll see.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Oh no, you canāt leave us hanging, honey! The audience needs to know. Whoās the lucky ladyā¦..or man?
Hadrian simply shrugs at the response.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Aw, well what are your thoughts on the season finale and whatās up with another season? If you do come back can you promise us weāll see you a lot more?
HADRIAN ALI: Ha-ha, I keep sayin it, but I never saw another season for me, but I keep hearing from people that they love the progression. The willingness to get out there and work.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: JaĆØshon Wood, you too were a fan favorite this season and it seems like a lot of people shared the same story as you.
JAĆSHON WOOD: I got a lot of great feedback from the fans, I was happy that I could help others just by sharing my story.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Why Be so open though? Were you afraid that you might embarrass yourself or even your family?
JAĆSHON WOOD: As you can see Blair and I are kind of the lone sheep of the family, so I wasnāt worried about embarrassing anyone but myself. But at the same time I know I need to let go of all that hurt and talking about it was my only option.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: We have to talk about the bruises JaĆØ, I was so sad when I saw that.
JAĆSHON WOOD: A lot of people were, even my grandma reached out and asked me what was going on. But hey itās life and it happens.
JaĆØshon starts to tear up, Hadi turns and embraces his brother. JaĆØshon chills for a second getting himself together.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Take your time sweetie.
JAĆSHON WOOD: Nah Iām good, it was just one of those situations where itās like this is all you know and use too. When I was in Chicago it was a struggle so this man open doors for me that I probably never would have been able to at that age. But sadly it went a different direction and I fell victim to a lot of his lies and abuse.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: How are things today?
JAĆSHON WOOD: Iām a lot better, thereās no contact whatsoever so Iāve just been focusing on me.
Roquel looks to Blair
ROQUEL WEATHERS: You definitely were very opinionated on his relationship and abuse. How do you feel now, after seeing it all play out?
BLAIR WOOD: I felt like I failed my brother man. It was always me and him. We told each other everything. So the fact that there was someone who had that control over him to where he didnāt even feel safe to tell meā¦. I felt helpless. I didnāt even pay attention to the bruises on his face that day. He had his hat pulled down and he didnāt really look up much. But I was so focused on my anger toward Hadrian, I didnāt even see my brother needed me. I just wish things played out differently,but they didnāt.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: I canāt imagine how that mustāve felt. Now we also canāt ignore the scene in the car with Riley, he was ready to go fight this man that was putting his hands on you.
RILEY: I care for Shon. And I go up for the people I care for when I see they're in trouble.
JAĆSHON WOOD: I didnāt want him getting involved, it was something I needed to handle on my own but i was grateful that Riley wanted to help.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Speaking of Riley, weāve heard from him so now I want to hear from you.
JAĆSHON WOOD: Riley is cool, despite all the bad stuff that is said about him Iāve never seen that side.
ISAIAH WOLFE: Silly boy it just hasnāt happened yet but it will.
RILEY: Mr. Krabs need to mind his own business for once. Ain't shit we do got anything to do with him.
JAĆSHON WOOD: I get that yāall two have history and issues with each other but thatās between yāall.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Do you see yourself being with Riley if the opportunity presented itself.
JAĆSHON WOOD: I like Riley I do, but right now weāre just hanging out without the labels and thatās how I like it.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Yāall together, I know it.
JAĆSHON WOOD: I mean, you never know.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: We also saw that you and Phoenix have formed a close relationship, your signed under her company but it seems like you two are more best friends than business partners.
JAĆSHON WOOD: Ugh I just love her, she has helped me a lot with my personal and professional life. And I feel like Iām such a burden at times but she always reminds me that sheās there no matter what the circumstance are. Shoutout Phoenix though, she told me to keep my cool tonight.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: If there is another season, would you sign on?
JAĆSHON WOOD: Sure. I had a great experience. I got to reconnect with family and build new friendships and relationships. I can honestly sit on this couch and say I donāt have any issues with anyone on this stage, not even Miles. I came on this show looking at this as an opportunity and an experience, I wasnāt here to fight or cause drama.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: I enjoyed you this season, i really did. And I was so happy to see you want to fix your relationship with Hadi even though your grumpy brother Blair was being all shady, donāt worry we getting to you next.
BLAIR WOOD: Nah it wasnāt nothing like that. Ha. Like Jae said, weāve always been the lone wolves. But the difference was Jae left Atlanta and he did have time were he explored the world and did all this shit. Whereas I legit just stayed to myself. I went to work came home. I aināt really have a lotta friends. Never really let nobody new in. But I guess thatās part of the reason I joined this show. Itās making me open up more. Little by little.
JAĆSHON WOOD: Look Hadi is family and I love him. I understood his reasoning behind him being away and it was just pointless to me to hold a grudge. Nothing against Blair but I was just more understanding and more opened to the little family reunion we had going on. Since the show stopped filming we all have kept in contact with each other and even had some time to hang out with each other, so hopefully it stays that way.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Thatās great to hear. Whatās in your future JaĆØshon?
JAĆSHON WOOD: Money, Jobs, Love, and like Chanel always say, staying busy.
Chanel snaps her fingers.
CHANEL SNOW: Yaaaas honey, booked and busy.
JAĆSHON WOOD: Thatās honestly what I want in my future and just to be happy.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: I hear that. I wanna talk about someone who was as absent this season as he has been on this couch tonight.
Roquel chuckles as she looks to Zeno. He chuckles, shaking his head.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Heeeeeey Mr. Barnes!
TRAZENO BARNES: Whatās good Mrs. Weathers?
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Where have you been? You didnāt really appear too much this season. Even at Milesā party, we saw you come in and you just blended in with crowd. Why have you been so distant from the show?
TRAZENO BARNES: Man I just been moving in silence to be honest. A lot of things changed for me. I been working a lot. Staying out of trouble.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Youāve recently been started acting?
TRAZENO BARNES: Yea. Mostly commercials right now and small roles. But I actually just signed on to do my first movie. But I canāt talk much about it. Just know yāall will see the kid soon.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Chile as long as there is a scene where we get to get into that body Chile! Iām here for it! But you did make a surprise pop up on Trinity toward the end of the season with your tales of I miss you.
TRAZENO BARNES: Yea I did. But letās be clear I was a lil drunk listening to drake. But forreal I did and still do miss her. I gotta lotta love for trinity.but just tryna be a friend more than anything. We had that way before we were together.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Trinity seems to have written you out of her life for good honey.
TRINITY MONROE: I canāt say anything is forever. But at that time I just felt like he was not someone that I needed around me, but I did miss the friendship. Like he said we knew each other since we were a lot younger. We were friends first so it was really hard to see that die after everything we went through.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: How do you feel toward him now?
TRINITY MONROE: we have had one or two conversations since Filming ended. Weāre nowhere near the friends we used to be. But I definitely donāt hate him. And who knows the future.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Well it seems as if that chapter is over and done but when one door closed, another seemed to reopen. We have be wondering for two seasons what the relationship between Zeno and Hadrian was or wasnāt. Last season you both seemed to be in the way to rekindling the last but we didnāt really get to see too much of you two.
TRAZENO BARNES: I think watching my relationship played back on tv kinda made me hesitant about going back down that road to be honest
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Do you feel the show played apart in the demise of your relationship?
TRAZENO BARNES: Oh nah. I take full responsibility for what I did. I just think seeing it back was a lot. And I think I wanted to do things differently forreal. And weāve always been private. I guess thatās just what we were used to.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: We did get to see you both at Hadrianās construction sight.You guys seem to have a roommate/ best friend type of relationship.
TRAZENO BARNES: I mean thatās how we started. And what we were forreal.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Well on the finale episode you guys looked like a lot more than that. Honey my mouth hit the door when we saw you coming out of the shower at his place.
Zeno chuckles, licking his lips
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Chile! We donāt want to wait any longer! Can you guys finally tell us what the deal is with the two of you.
Zeno chuckles, looking at Hadrian sitting next to him.
HADRIAN ALI: You want me to say it, Tre?
TRAZENO BARNES: Go ahead. You got it.
The camera then switches to Jaser and Riley who sit confused, but Jaser finally catches on and rises his back from the couch, curious. Audience members follow suit. Their murmuring slowly building up above the surface.
HADRIAN ALI: I was going to keep it on the hush until the time was right, butā¦..Tre and I are back together.
The crowd erupts into excitement as cameras catch various reactions from the cast.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: What?! Back together? You all heard it here folks! Hadrian and Zeno are back together! And to think I even had a chance of making Hadrian my baby daddy, but thereās always next time. Trinity, how do you feel about this? I mean I know you were a little surprised after meeting Hadrian and then finding out who he was.
TRINITY MONROE: Letās be clear. I always knew of him. I had just never seen his face. So when I met him I didnt know who I was meeting. But Iām very happy for them and wish them the best.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Honey, I hope youāre saying that because you got you a new piece of candy too!
TRINITY MONROE: Dont start!
She chuckles.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Chile you have had quite a colorful dating life since the season started.
TRINITY MONROE: Single people date. Thatās what happens. Everyone on these couches has dated around until they did or didnāt find what they were looking for.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: What didnāt work between you and Blair?
TRINITY MONROE: I mean like he said earlier, we are just on different paths. I think heās a great person but Iām at a point in my life where I know where Iām going and heās still kinda finding his way. And thereās nothing wrong with that. He just wasnāt for me.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Are you guys friends now?
TRINITY MONROE: Absolutely. We talk all the time.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: How do you feel about Blairās comments to the lgbt community. Heās been marked as homophobic by many for his remarks. And for how he broke things off with Lala.
Blair chimes in shaking his head
BLAIR WOOD: Yo come on! Thatās all I been hearing.
TRINITY MONROE: Look. I do feel that some of his delivery leaves more to be desired. But letās look at it from his perspective. Weāre only just finding out how his father protected them from that lifestyle. This world is completely new for him. But I definitely donāt think heās homophobic.people throw that word around way too quickly and easily.
BLAIR WOOD: Thank you!
TRINITY MONROE: As yāall could see through the the season, Blair and words donāt always work. Heās been put into a situation thatās completely new. Weāve all shown our asses a little bit.but heāll come around. But not if people attack him as soon and label him homophobic for not understanding
ROQUEL WEATHERS: well miss girl maybe you can help him understand. But itās good to see that you guys still have a friendship. Now we did see what looked to be a budding romance between you and Mr. Khalil Hammond. How did the two of you meet?
TRINITY MONROE: We actually met on Twitter. He approached me after seeing me on the show. He was bold and I liked it. and heās definitely an attractive man. Yāall seen him. So when he asked me on a date, of course I said yes.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: We didnāt see much of him this season. Why is that?
TRINITY MONROE: I knew from jump that he wouldnāt be on the show much. But letās be clear he was around. But we both have very different schedules. Heās been really focused on breaking into his career. And he didnāt wanna use my fame to get there. But he definitely makes the effort to show me a good time.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: he took you to your first amusement park.
TRINITY MONROE: he did! And we had a blast. He pays attention. Iāve always been a grinder. Hard working. I never had time to just hang out or go do random fun things. And itās like he literally took a list of all the things I wanted to do and crosses them off one by one.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: So where do you two stand now??it seems like you were on your way to becoming something official l.
TRINITY MONROE: weāre still dating.i donāt wanna rush things. Weāre taking it slow. And weāll see what happens.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: well we definitely wish you both the best of luck in whatever you decide. You two looked like a vision at the premier of Star in which you started in. I have been glued to my television by the way! You are doing the thing ms. cotton
TRINITY MONROE: Thank you! Itās definitely been an amazing ride!
ROQUEL WEATHERS: chile you have been everywhere! Modeling, acting, and youāve even took your makeup artistry to the next level, with the launch of your own line of cosmetics.
TRINITY MONROE: absolutely! The trinity! Actually being sold through Sephora. Iām so excited about it. It's been a long time coming. Iāve been an artist for over 15 years.its time for something with my name on it.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Chile I have my box set and I am in love! Trinity will we actually see you more if there is another season?
TRINITY MONROE: Things seem to be moving in a more positive direction so, absolutely.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: This whole night has went smoothly minus the drama with Chanel and Kali earlier. Iām very proud of you guys for sitting on these couches without getting physical and actually having a conversation.
Roquel smiles.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: I do hope at one point everyone in this room can all be friends or at least get along while being in the same room in the future. As for the reunion show, we are done! Honey I need to get out of here!
Everyone exhales In relief, a few of the producers walk out bringing everyone a shot glass, Roquel gets hers and she holds her shot glass in the air with everyone following behind her.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: I want to say cheers to a fantastic but drama filled season and hopefully to another season. Good luck everyonein all your future endeavors and thank you to everyone who tuned into the reunion and this season of #theLIFEATL.
