ROQUEL WEATHERS: OH M G honey, I canāt believe we are here and we are in person and not behind no screen.
The scene opens up with Roquel walking into MIL Headquarters with her mask on, she looks around for a second and pauses.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Oh no baby we need security here in case one of these boys decide to get froggy.
Roquel laughs as she walks down the hallway towards her dressing room. She enters the room and places belongings on the table before falling onto the couch stretching her legs out.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Letās get this show on the road.
The scene cuts to a video collage of moments from this season, from the Mexico trip to the fights and even the good times. The scene cuts back to MIL Headquarters where production is shown setting up one of the main big rooms and converting it into a reunion stage. The scene cuts to the entrance where Amonte is shown arriving in a blacked out 2020 Jaguar, Amonte hops out of the backseat with his mask on and heads into the MIL Studio, he looks straight into the camera that the cameraman is holding.
AMONTE JORDAN: Tonight is going to be fun, Iāve come with receipts and the truth, I canāt say the same for these other clowns.
Amonte walks past the cameraman and down the hallway heading for the door with his name on it, he finds the room and enters inside, closing it behind him. The same then cuts back to the outside where another car is shown arriving, this time Blaze and his sister Amaya is shown exiting the vehicle.
AMAYA "LYNNE" COLE: I really hope we all can act right tonight, I didnāt sign up for the shenanigans.
NIKKO "BLAZE" COLE: I guess you havenāt watched the other reunions, I just hope they donāt make us sit through the whole damn thing with these masks on.
The two enter the building, both go through security check and head down the hallway towards their dressing room. Before entering Roquel comes from around the corner greeting them both.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: AMAYA and NIKKO, Hey guys.
NIKKO "BLAZE" COLE: Hey!
AMAYA "LYNNE" COLE: Roquel itās nice to meet you.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: I was hoping I ran into the both of yāall, itās nice to meet you too. Are you guys ready for tonight?
AMAYA "LYNNE" COLE: I donāt think we have a choice.
NIKKO "BLAZE" COLE: Shit Iām more than ready, I donāt have any issues with these dudes.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Oh I donāt know about that Blaze, weāll talk about it once we hit the stage.
Roquel winks at the two as she walks by them, she heads towards the room for makeup and the scene cuts back to the parking lot where Keon and Zuma are shown pulling up, the two hop out grabbing their bags and walking into the building.
KEON CAMP: Iām so nervous.
ZUMA ROCKWELL: Me too...but whatever happens just try to have fun with it.
One of the producers walks out of Amonteās dressing room and greets both Zuma and Keon.
PRODUCER: Welcome, we are on a schedule so I need you two to hurry up and get dressed. Are you guys ready?
KEON CAMP: Iām ready or at least think I am.
ZUMA ROCKWELL: No time like the present.
PRODUCER: Good, thatās what I want to hear, letās just go out there and speak our minds and make this reunion one to remember.
The two nod as they head into their dressing room and the scene cuts back to Roquel. Roquel walks further down the hallway and she reaches Gypan and Geonās dressing room which the two are sharing. She knocks twice before walking in.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Hey cuties, wow!
Roquel looks them both up and down.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Yāall both look so handsome, are you ready for tonight?
GYPAN TYLER: I hope so! I heard you were a shark
He chuckles.
GEON TAYLOR: Right. But Iām definitely ready. Iām excited.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: This is your guys first reunion, I need yāall to kill it and donāt hold back, the reunion can be stressful at times but Iām sure you two can handle the pressure.
GEON TAYLOR: Oh absolutely.
GYPAN TYLER: We got it. Cant wait to get out there.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Well Iāll let you guys continue getting ready and Iāll see you out there shortly.
Roquel turns and exits the dressing room, she walks down the hallway, just passing a couple doors before reaching Todrickās dressing room, she knows on Todrickās door and she walks in.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Yaaas honey, I see you in here getting that face beeaaat.
TODRICK TABOR: Yes Maāam honey. I knew I was going to meet the legendary Roquel and baaaaaaby I had to get it all the way together.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: I have to say you are the one Iām most excited about talking to tonight, even though you started late in the season, you still made your presence known.
TODRICK TABOR: I had an idea of what to expect from watching some of the other shows with Miss Akasha Monroe. One night, I called Zuma up and said I wanted to be a representation for those that struggle with conforming to their gender fluidity, so here I am.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Are you nervous? This is your first reunion, it's the first for everyone actually.
TODRICK TABOR: I wonāt lie and say Iām not nervous but honey Iām ready to serve because some of these girls will try to serve me if I donāt.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: It's been a few months since filming stopped, have you kept in contact or hung around any of your fellow cast members?
TODRICK TABOR: Well you know me and Zuma are Frick and Frack honey. I think some of the others are really cool. I get to see Keon because of the relationship with him and Zuma. Some of these heauxs I donāt wish to see but I do. Who knows next season, I might get my boo to be a full-time cast member.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Well honey goodluck tonight, donāt let these savages rip you apart.
TODRICK TABOR: Never that honey. Ole Dripeesha has some tricks and receipts up her sleeve. Just keep Ms. Amonte away from water honey. I also brought some Miracle Drops for the girls that get their edges snatched tonight.
Roquel blows a kiss at Todrick, trying to stick to the social distancing rule, she smiles and exits out of his dressing room. Roquel then turns and looks at the cameraman who is filming her.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Now the queen has to finish getting ready, see you at the reunion boo.
Roquel laughs as she walks off, the scene cuts to a video collage of everything that went down this season, from the trip to Mexico, Zumaās fashion show and the epic water toss heard across the world. The scene cuts to the main stage where Roquel is shown sitting in her Queen chair, on each side of her sits chairs that are 6ft apart, sitting on Roquelās left side is Zuma, Todrick, Geon and Gypan while on the right is Amonte, Cadence, Keon and Blaze. Amaya, Tommii and Leah will join the cast later, āDance Like No Oneās Watching.ā By Swae Lee plays through the speakers and the #theLIFENY Video Promo runs, the scene cuts back to the reunion.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Hello ladies and gentleman and welcome to the very first #theLIFENY Reunion, tonight we have everyone in the building except for Amari Kent who could not join us today, but the rest of the cast is here and I hope you guys are ready.
Mixed responses are heard through the room, some laughing while the others are shaking their heads āyesā and ānoā. Roquel goes down the list of the cast introducing everyone and getting their hiās and āHow are youā out of the way.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: I must admit that you guys really brought it this season, the views were high and clearly you guys were doing something that kept the audience interested.
AMONTE JORDAN: I think it was us being ourselves, a lot of these reality shows are scripted and even though they say they arenāt scripted, nine times out of ten they are so I think with us not going that route is what made it so successful..
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Well you definitely have a love hate relationship with the viewers, we got an email from āDana White, in Mississippi and Dana writes, Amonte at the beginning of the season you were one of my favorites but towards the end you I started to dislike you and your narcissistic ways, there's nothing wrong with having confidence but being cocky and ignorant just isnāt classy, and that sucks coming from someone like you who preaches about being classy.ā How does that make you feel Amonte?
AMONTE JORDAN: I mean thatās her opinion and I respect that, she is right about me having confidence and thereās nothing wrong with that, as for the narcissist comment, that's not true at all.
ZUMA ROCKWELL: *coughBULLSHITcough*
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Oh did you have something to say Zuma? Sounds like you donāt agree with that statement.
ZUMA ROCKWELL: I mean come on. Everything about him screams narcissist. Just look at the way he treats everyone around him. From his boyfriend, to his best friend...even his own sister at times. The ONLY thing Amonte Jordan cares about is himself and everyone can see it. The guys a phony, a fake, and a fraud. Even Miss Dana in Mississippi knows whatās up!
AMONTE JORDAN: You would say that, but you're only describing yourself. I donāt know why you're even on this show, you brought nothing.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: I donāt think that's true, I thought Zuma brought a lot to the show, he was fun to watch and nice to look at.
AMONTE JORDAN: Well thatās all he knows how to do is sell sex, every picture he posts online is him half naked, like where is the class?
ZUMA ROCKWELL: If you donāt like it then donāt fucking look! Youāre just mad jealous that even if you tried selling sex, nobody would buy it. Youāre about as sexy as a library book. So cold and dead below the waist, you just couldnāt pull it off because you arenāt that kind of guy. Maybe if you actually got laid once in a while you wouldnāt always be so pressed and worried about what Iām posting online!
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Settle down guys, it's only 10 minutes in the reunion and you two already want to tear each other's heads off.
Roquel pauses for a second looking at both Amonte and Zuma, the two sit quietly and Roquel continues on with the reunion.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Thank you, now this season you guys really came through with the fashion and I mean from head to toe, do you guys mostly style yourselves or do you have stylists?
AMONTE JORDAN: I style myself.
Keon nods agreeing with Amonte.
KEON CAMP: I canāt dress, but I try to be different from everyone else, I don't always wear labels.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: What about you Geon?
GEON TAYLOR: I actually have a personal stylist. But we work together to choose my looks and things. I'm a brand so I always have to look the part.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: I hear that, you better tell them. Speaking of fashion, Zuma you tried your hand at designing. Your line Rock Sugar dropped a few weeks ago and I already put my order in, how are the sales going?
AMONTE JORDAN: Low as hell.
Amonte giggles. Zuma just rolls his eyes, ignoring Amonte.
ZUMA ROCKWELL: First off, thank you ROQUEL I appreciate the support. Things are going well with RockSugar. Itās a new line from a relatively new face during a pandemic but all things considered Iām really happy with how things are going and with the response itās gotten. Actually Iām glad you brought it up, because I have a little surprise for everyone.
Zuma leans over his chair and pulls out a large shopping bag from behind it.
ZUMA ROCKWELL: After that crazy incident in Mexico I decided to turn lemons into lemonade andā¦
Zuma pulls out a black t-shirt with the word #THIRSTY in white lettering across the chest, earning a few laughs from some in attendance and a visible eye roll from Amonte. Zuma removes his jacket before peeling off his current shirt and putting the #THIRSTY one on.
ZUMA ROCKWELL: This is now available on ROCKSUGAR.com and in the flagship boutique in Manhattan. Itās actually a top seller so I guess I should thank Amonte for the idea. I even had some made up for everyone else in the group.
He pulls out a shirt with the word #QUEEN on it and hands it to Roquel. Next he pulls out a shirt that says #BAE and tosses it over to Keon. Zuma pulls out a shirt that says #FRACK and hands it to Todrick. He takes two shirt out, one says #SUPER and the other says #MODEL and tosses them to Geon and Gypan. Next he takes out a shirt that says #FREE and tosses it to Blaze before tossing one that says #MISUNDERSTOOD toward Cadence. Finally Zuma takes the last shirt out which reads #KAREN before chucking it across the room and hitting Amonte in the face with it. Zuma smirks before sitting back down.
ZUMA ROCKWELL: I came up with phrases that best described our identifiers this season. Itās just jokes so donāt take it too seriously. I have one for Amaya that says #THELAW but sheās not out here right now so Iāll give it to her later... But yall can keep those thereās plenty more where that came from.
Amonte looks at his shirt and tosses it behind him to the floor below. Cadence shakes his head, chuckling.
CADENCE WASHINGTON: Here we go.
AMONTE JORDAN: Sorry I donāt wear cheap shit.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Ooop.
ZUMA ROCKWELL: makes sense...your whole vibe is cheap, dude. So any more cheap shit would just be overkill I guess.
Zuma shrugs.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Chile, I was nervous having this reunion today after the drama that went down last night on Twitter, I figured we would need extra security here but weāll talk about that later.
Keon letās out a huge groan.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: I bet this is hard for you Keon, to see your bestfriend and your boyfriend go back and forth like this.
KEON CAMP: It really breaks my heart, Amonte and I have history, weāve been friends for a long time now and to be honest when I was down and out, Amonte had my back.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: What do you mean down and out?
KEON CAMP: I mean there was a time I was homeless, my parents didnāt always accept my sexuality and to avoid the tension in my home I was forced to leave for sometime. Amonte was the only one who took me in, he helped me get through some of my darkest days.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: That's sweet, how is your relationship with your parents now?
KEON CAMP: Itās ok, I have a better relationship with my grandparents but Iāll just say Iām attending family functions now.
Keon laughs.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Some progress is better than none. That's good to hear. Now Keon wasn't the only one caught in the middle of the battle Royale between Amonte and Zuma. Cadence, you're dating Amonte, but found a budding friendship with Zuma.
CADENCE WASHINGTON: Yeah man. Its definitely tough. But I just try to ignore it. But that's probably not the best idea. Keon you got any tips for me bro?
He chuckles, looking at Keon.
CADENCE WASHINGTON: I love Amonte, like really love this dude. But out of everybody on this cast Zuma was cool as fuck. Everybody else was all scary and shit because I looked different and I thought we were over that shit. But Zuma was just cool as fuck from jump. I just wish bae would understand that
AMONTE JORDAN: I appreciate the words and I love Cadence too, weāve had our ups and downs but his little friendship with Zuma bothers me, one Zuma is flirtatious and disrespects Keon on a daily basis and two Zuma spends his days tweeting and talking about me like a dog, like where is the loyalty? As my man Cadence should put Zuma in his place.
CADENCE WASHINGTON: It shouldn't bother you though bae. We are good. Yea he got a phAt ass. You would be blind not to notice it. But I got who I want. And I will always have your back but one thing my momma did teach me is that you stay out of cast fight. Let them handle that.
AMONTE JORDAN: Phat ass? Wow.
CADENCE WASHINGTON: I'm just saying. It is what it is.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: oh wow, letās move on.
AMONTE JORDAN: Yeah letās because heās trippin right now.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Now I want to go back and touch on the flirtatious comment, now Zuma earlier in the season there were a few times you were flirting with other men online while courting Keon.
Keon looks right over at Zuma with a smirk on his face waiting for Zuma to respond.
ZUMA ROCKWELL: Well first and foremost Keon and I werenāt even really together together at that point but more importantly Iāve already said numerous times that whatever flirtatious behavior yāall think youāre seeing is just a part of a public persona. I am selling a brand and as the face of that brand yeah I was overly sexual with the way I presented myself but as everyone knows...sex sells. BUT once Keon and I started getting closer and more serious, and I realized it bothered him, I cut all that out immediately. But everyone here on this stage has posted thirst traps in some form or another...at least I had a legitimate reason for it.
Zuma pauses for a second before speaking again.
ZUMA ROCKWELL: BUT I just wanna touch on something real quickā¦
Zuma turns to Keon.
ZUMA ROCKWELL: look, Key, I understand where youāre coming from with your loyalty to Amonte. Iām actually glad he was there for you when you needed it most. But that doesnāt mean you need to just let him get away with everything he does. Amonte has been mad disrespectful all season...then you call him on it...he says heāll play nice and then just pulls some other funny shit. Thatās happened at least three times on the show and I know Iām not the only one who sees it. The bottom line is people only do what you allow them to, and Amonte knows you wonāt really do shit about it so he keeps on disrespecting me which in turn is disrespecting you. Just because youāve been friends with someone for a long time doesnāt necessarily mean theyāre still a good friend to you.
Roquel snaps her fingers.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Honey I agree with Zuma, this season Amonte your mouth got you in a lot of trouble, letās take a look.
The scene cuts to a video collage of scenes with Amonte, the video shows the incident in Mexico, some confessionals where Amonte had been disrespectful and the last video shows Zumaās Rocksugar fashion show, the scene cuts back to the reunion.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: The proof is in the footage. But before you respond to Amonte, I want to know Keonās feelings after hearing what Zuma had to say.
KEON CAMP: I respect and take in what heās saying, and I appreciate him acknowledging that him doing that stuff online bothered me. I want him to know that I do hit Amonte up whether itās online, through text or even on the phone and I let him know not to disrespect Zuma but I canāt control what Amonte does. But I want Zuma to know that I love him very much and I hope one day we can all be friends and sit back and laugh at all this craziness.
ZUMA ROCKWELL: I love you too Key...and Iāll never say never but...weāre just gonna have to see about everything else. I donāt really see that happening without an apology from your friend and I doubt thatās going to happen anytime soon so it is what it is.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Ok Amonte after the video package rolled, I want to know your feelings.
AMONTE JORDAN: All I saw were responses to the disrespect thrown my way, to be honest the only people I care about on this stage are Cadence and Keon, these other people donāt matter to me at all.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Wow thatās not really nice to say, I can see you saying that about Zuma and Todrick, but what about Geon and Gypan?
AMONTE JORDAN: I donāt know them well enough to care, I never spent time alone with them so to care is a strong word.
Roquel turns and looks at Gypan and Geon.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: How does that make you feel guys?
GYPAN TYLER: I mean, I get it. I don't really see any malice behind what he's saying . At least not toward me. We don't know each other. WE only interacted a few times during group events and a little in Mexico. I don't care about any of their beef. It's not my business nor concern.
GEON TAYLOR: Yea. It's super childish to me. I try to stay all the way away from stuff like that. One of the reasons I chose not to come to the fashion show. I kinda figured it would go just like it went.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: I wanted to ask about that too. You're a model. Not only were you not in the show, you didn't even show up.
GEON TAYLOR: Like I said before, and this is in no way disrespect to Zuma. I'm a contracted model. There's certain things I can and can't do. And even for shows that I do I have to get paid. And no offense to the fee that's in my contract, I'm sure isn't in the budget of someone throwing their first show.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Chile, the shade. Itās some shade in there, I can see it.
Roquel looks over at Zuma.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Zuma honey, give it to him good.
Roquel goggles.
ZUMA ROCKWELL: Like I said, itās a new brand...I in no way expected anyone walking in my show to work for free. You just donāt do that. That being said, Geonās probably right. I probably wasnāt paying as much as letās say Calvin Klein. I mean letās be real I wasnāt expecting a supermodel like Gigi Hadid or Kendall Jenner to walk in my show but I kind of assumed Geon would be available. Heās not nearly on their level.
GEON TAYLOR: It might be shade that I didn't come but I really didn't wanna deal with the drama. It had nothing to do with Zuma. Let me be clear. But like he said there's levels. I may not be on any of those people's level. But I've worked with them. And I am certainly above a subway cart fashion extravaganza if you want to call it that. Just respect the retainer or don't. Ya know. Iām sure it was a great show. Next topic.
Geon shrugs, smiling at Roquel
AMONTE JORDAN: Ha, I donāt see any harm in what Geon says, I mean you got someone who works with well known designers and then you have Zuma, the Payless designer, someoneās stuff youāll see at a swap market or something.
ZUMA ROCKWELL: Thatās why you had to use my cheap ass venue to hock your sunglasses and key rings right? Oh okay just checking.
Roquel takes the cards sheās holding and places them in front of her face.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: I canāt with you tonight Amonte.
AMONTE JORDAN: Iām just saying, the fashions were horrendous.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Not horrendous chile.
TODRICK TABOR: That! That right there Roquel is what the streets are talking about. That was unnecessary and uncalled for but then this trashbox will sit there in the next few minutes and act misunderstood and victimized by Zuma saying something back to him. āDisrespectā. I know Zuma is my friend but a spade is a spade honey.
AMONTE JORDAN: Oh āthe helpā isnāt mute anymore, she now has a voice.
Amonte rolls his eyes.
AMONTE JORDAN: I would expect for him to defend Zumaās ugly talents because the attire he wears gives me a headache, hell I was ashamed to be seen in public with such low brand attire on.
Todrick takes a deep breath and closes his eyes.
TODRICK TABOR: You should be ashamed that the doctor nipped where he shouldāve tucked. You donāt have to approve of my clothes because as Iāve said before and I will keep saying until you get it, you arenāt feeding, fucking, or financing me so your opinions like your comments are a non muthafucking factor. You think calling me āthe helpā makes you superior? Iām self made and was a star in my own right before coming on this show. I make me, a sad and insecure person like you could never understand that.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Todrick you bursted on the scene later in the season but you definitely made your mark and was actually crowned āfan favorite.ā
AMONTE JORDAN: That's a lie, but carry on.
ZUMA ROCKWELL: Your whole life is a lie bruh.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Now wait a minute, I know my facts are correct chile, now simmer down Miss Amonte. Anyway, being the fan favorite and also bringing such a glow to the show, what made you sign on?
TODRICK TABOR: Thank you for clearing that up Roquel. I saw all the alternative facts on Twitter but I let it roll. For me coming on the show was about giving all the boys and girls out there that struggle with their gender fluidity someone to see who was just like them and how life does get better. All my life things were difficult and I didnāt understand why until one day I just stopped caring to conform to societal norms and the little boxes they try to put us in. I remember what life was like and if I can spare someone the hurt and pain then Iām here for it. Itās why I became a wrestler in Fade 2 Black Wrestling and itās why I signed on to The Life New York. I will use every platform to spread positivity and love.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: You quickly formed a friendship with Zuma, calling yourselves Frick and Frack and trust me Iām here for it, but you also gained an enemy on the show with Amonte, was it the beef Amonte had with Zuma made you not like him or was it something else?
AMONTE JORDAN: He doesnāt even know me, heās a follower. He shouldnāt even be on the couch, put his ass in the audience and let him answer questions from there.
ZUMA ROCKWELL: anyone who is around you for like two seconds just has to wait for you to open your mouth and that tells us everything we need to know about you. Doesnāt take a rocket scientist to know youāre a dumbass, fake ass bitch, dude.
AMONTE JORDAN: (sucks teeth) Boy whatever.
Todrickās fists ball up and he closes his eyes again. He opens them and bats his lashes and smiles sweetly. Cadence is heard trying to quiet Amonte.
TODRICK TABOR: Honey whether you like it or not, I am here to stay. You cannot and will not diminish me in any way. The energy you spend on me, you should spend at Build-A-Bear so you can build another drunken whore to follow you around and fight your battles. But Iām too classy to keep going down that path.
Todrick rolls his eyes and smoothes out his skirt.
TODRICK TABOR: Roquel to answer your question before the star of the straight to DVD version of Mean Girls 4, Are we still doing this? Interrupted us. I originally had no beef with Amonte believe it or not. Zuma couldnāt tell me about what had happened in earlier tapings of the show so I had no clue. It was his bad behavior in Mexico that caught my attention. If you watch the footage, he popped off at me first. But it was dead after the fashion show. There is no excuse for that type of behavior no matter what beef you have with someone. It was over the top dot com and affected everyoneās reputation. Sheās dead to me, like Iām sure sheās dead in the bedroom. Bloop!
Zuma starts cracking up.
ZUMA ROCKWELL: like a dead fish from the neck down.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: I hope we can make it through this reunion because honey yāall are a mess. But Amonte, Zuma and Todrick werenāt the only ones making an impact on the show. #theLIFENY started off with one woman as the main cast but ending up having two. Amaya āLynneā Cole who is the sister to Nikko joined the show and Amonteās sister AāLeah Jordan made her presence known, the two formed a friendship while also causing a little drama themselves, letās take a look.
The scene cuts to a video package of both Amaya and AāLeahās time on the show, showing the good and the bad, the scene cuts back to the reunion stage. Cadence is shown rolling his eyes as Amaya walks out first wearing a long purple gown with her hair slicked back in a ponytail and behind her follows AāLeah Jordan who is wearing a Versace dress, she sits down on the side of her brother while Amaya sits on the opposite.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Ladies, welcome to the show, you both look fabulous!
AMAYA "LYNNE" COLE: Thank you.
A'LEAH JORDAN: Rich and famous boo.
Leah giggles.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Chile I gave you a compliment.
A'LEAH JORDAN: As you should, but thank you.
Roquel looks at Leah giving her that āDonāt try meā look. She looks down at her card giving herself a moment.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Yāall are on ten tonight honey.
AMAYA "LYNNE" COLE: I noticed that while watching in the back. I was hoping we all could come here tonight and be adults, have some closure and move on.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Weāre trying too honey, but the tension in this room is too much!
A'LEAH JORDAN: When you're dealing with trash, itās inevitable.
ZUMA ROCKWELL: -laughing.- Who even are you?! Iām just surprised she even knows where she is right now. Everybody knows she canāt take two steps without pickin up a bottle.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: I have to ask, Leah girl what is the issue? I think since youāve been on the show youāve always had this bad attitude.
A'LEAH JORDAN: Iām me, deal with it or leave it alone. I got along with everyone on this stage except those two queens over on that side.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Amaya girl, what is wrong with your friend?
AMAYA "LYNNE" COLE: Look I stay to myself and out the drama, Leah is on a whole different level than me but when Iām around her itās always a good time, I donāt know why she has issues with the other cast mates but itās a problem between them.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: I noticed you did stay out of the mix a lot.
AMAYA "LYNNE" COLE: Because I work, I have a job where I deal with people on a daily basis and Iām talking about political clients, people with money, celebrities and I didnāt want my reputation ruined. I think I have more to save when it comes to my career!
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Yaaaas honey a career.
Roquel snaps her fingers.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Leah on Twitter over the past few days youāve been going on rant over some of your fellow cast mates, so tonight can we lay it all on the table and end these silly beers.
A'LEAH JORDAN: Rule number one I donāt beef with the broke or drug addicts, never been my style. Iām very blunt and if you canāt handle my truth then you simply canāt run in my circle!
TODRICK TABOR: First of all, who is this hoe calling broke? Honey with all my projects combined, Iām cashing Trump checks! You donāt know what is in my back account. My stocks alone in alcohol do me well with the way your ass gets blackout drunk. Just nasty and rude honey! Anyone who has to keep saying it over and over clearly has something to prove.
ZUMA ROCKWELL: She and her brother are the same. Always going on and on about how rich they are and how broke everyone is...like I donāt even feel the need to defend myself when it comes to that. Itās laughable and they donāt even see how ridiculous literally everyone else on this stage thinks they are! People who are actually well off donāt have to constantly remind everyone or bring it up. Itās like a dude with a small dick walking around claiming heās hung all the time. We all know it aināt true so just stop it already. Clowns.
CADENCE WASHINGTON: I don't know WHy yall let anything this bitch says bother yall. The only thing she'll be remembered for is for breaking the world record for facing a fifth of tequila.
A'LEAH JORDAN: If I were you Cadence I would watch my mouth!
CADENCE WASHINGTON: Or what? You gonna throw a drink at me? Even you wouldn't waste good liquor.
AMONTE JORDAN: What I wonāt allow is everyone ganging up on my sister.
CADENCE WASHINGTON: But you will allow her to say whatever the fuck she want out her mouth. Thats dead. I sweaR I would never put hands on a bitch. But just be lucky I rock with ya brother. Ya mouth is way to reckless for my taste.
NIKKO "BLAZE" COLE: Man, Iām just sitting here like what the fuck is going on?
Blaze shakes his head confused.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Leah chile it looks like the majority of the people on this stage do not care for you.
ZUMA ROCKWELL: but I thought she just said she got along with everybody except me and Todrick.
A'LEAH JORDAN: And Iām fine with that, I can buy everyone this stage life, so theyāre opinions donāt matter to me. You have one guy who's a prostitute while another one snorts all his money up his nose.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Wait what? Those are serious allegations honey.
A'LEAH JORDAN: Not allegations when itās the truth, everyone on this stage knows Cadence is addicted to drugs and Zuma sells his body, he had a sugar daddy before meeting my brothers best friend, Iām sure Keon didnāt know that did you?
ZUMA ROCKWELL: oh wowwww really bitch?
The room grows silent for a moment.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Chilllleeeeee.
A'LEAH JORDAN: What? Itās the truth, and I wouldnāt be surprised if Todrick ass wasnāt out on the street selling ass too, but then again any man that shows him attention, it could be a Popeyes biscuit and heās ready to give the ass up.
Amonte playfully falls out of his chair.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Boy get up.
Amaya whispers to herself.
AMAYA "LYNNE" COLE: Wow this is going to a dangerous territory.
A'LEAH JORDAN: Forget them! Iām ready.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Zuma any truth to the sugar daddy allegations?
ZUMA ROCKWELL: I mean itās not really a secret I was dating an older man before coming on the show. If you watched the show, episode one I said that in my intro...and yeah he was generous with gifts and stuff but he was also married and like I said in my intro, once I found that out I ended the relationship. If you wanna call that a sugar daddy then it is what it is...as far as prostitution goes though...Iāve never sold my body for anything. Thatās just more lies from the Jordan House of Delusion.
A'LEAH JORDAN: You're a whore, close your legs and mouth to married men, like I said before.
ZUMA ROCKWELL: bitch close your throat to 90 proof spirits, ya dizzy ass lush! Out here getting the sweats and shakes n shit someone get her a drink before she starts convulsing. I know itās gotta be hard for you right now.
CADENCE WASHINGTON: I don't know why she thinks she is revealing big secrets. She has a problem. She is just mad people are enjoying their lives and she's miserable and need dick..
ZUMA ROCKWELL: Speak on it!
TODRICK TABOR: Chile bye, you know nothing about me and my life. I canāt help it that I know how to be civilized in public. You can dress the animal up but itās still a feral beast honey. You prove that every time you open your rabid dick suckers, Iām sorry you have to have a man to suck a dick. Something youāll never comprehend Iām sure because there isnāt one of those at the bottom of your bottles.
ZUMA ROCKWELL: Drag that bitch, T!
AMONTE JORDAN: Sad to see these men gang up on a female!
ZUMA ROCKWELL: nobodyās even ganging up on you Amonte, calm down.
CADENCE WASHINGTON: No fuck that. I Hate that pussy ass computer bae. Im sorry. She's a woman. Ain't nobody touching her. But she needs to be called out. Youāre fine with her calling me a drug addict. Fuck her. She can step to all these people. She should be able to handle getting called out..
TODRICK TABOR: Honey, you are trying it, the fans see you come for us and us come for you so they get us coming at females. Youāre both uncultured and uncivilized. You run your mouths and then holler when someone rubs your nose in it. The victims have shown up ladies and gentlemen.
Todrick stands up and mockingly applauds their performance.
TODRICK TABOR: Isnāt it Kidās Choice award worthy yāall?
ZUMA ROCKWELL: I wouldnāt say all that but itās definitely always some fakery when it comes to them. Throwing the rock then hiding their hand as usual.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Honey it doesnāt seem like weāre going to get anything resolved between you guys, so I want to switch gears a little and talk to someone who has been quiet on the couch, Blaze sweetie you are in the hot seat.
NIKKO "BLAZE" COLE: Oh God!
ROQUEL WEATHERS: This season we saw you leaving jail and trying to put your life back together, letās take a look.
The scene cuts to a video collage of Blaze and footage of him leaving jail, scenes with his son and his probation officer, the scene cuts back to the reunion.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: You have a few run ins with the law they involved you being locked up, can you tell us some of the charges?
NIKKO "BLAZE" COLE: Armed robbery, burglary, theft over $5k and assault with a deadly weapon.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Oooooh, ummm chile let me hide my purse and make sure my pepper spray is on deck.
NIKKO "BLAZE" COLE: Ha nah, that was the old me. I hung around a lot of people I shouldnāt have and let a lot of influences mess up my life but ever since my son came into the picture I've been doing good, I donāt ever want to go back to jail.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Now Amaya you were raising Nikkoās son while he was incarcerated?
AMAYA "LYNNE" COLE: Yes I was, I felt like it was my responsibility since the mother wasnāt in the picture.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: And where is little Nicoās mother at?
NIKKO "BLAZE" COLE: Sheās dealing with some personal issues that I just wonāt discuss, but I will say Iām praying for her and hopefully when she heals from her demons then she can be a part of her son's life.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Sometimes itās like that honey. But I applaud you because every scene besides you messing with them darn nunchucks showed me you have a great relationship with your son.
Blaze laughs.
NIKKO "BLAZE" COLE: Look I was bored, I didnāt have anything else to do and when he was asleep then I would just go outside and play around with them.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: I aināt mad at you honey, but I was like āif he doesn't put them damn nunchucks down.ā I am going to scream!
NIKKO "BLAZE" COLE: Ha I know, Iām sorry yāall. But Iām a free man now completely free so things will be different.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Oh wow so no more ankle monitor.
NIKKO "BLAZE" COLE: Hell no. Now I can really focus on my son, work on my music and live finally.
Blaze lifts his pant leg up and shows a bare leg with no ankle monitor.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Congratulations! I was going to ask you what was next for you, but Chile you answered that question already.
NIKKO "BLAZE" COLE: Ha, but Thanks to my sister, I guess itās a good thing when you have a lawyer in the family.
AMAYA "LYNNE" COLE: Yes, I was able to talk to a few people and they were able to reduce his probation to unsupervised, he has a child so he has to make a living.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: That makes sense, and girl I know I have a lawyer that I can call at anytime.
A'LEAH JORDAN: Iām glad sheās my friend because when I need her to sue these bitches on stage then sheāll come in handy.
AMONTE JORDAN: Tell em sis, we donāt fight with our hands, we fight with our pockets because we have the means to do so. At first I was thinking maybe I should come and mop the floor with some of these fools, but then I remember I have a lot to lose, while they donāt. So they can do or say whatever they please, and Iāll sit here and remain rich and calm.
Amonte smiles but in a shady manner. That smile is quickly wiped off his face however, which is met by an onslaught of water streaming from across the stage. At the other end of the stream is Zuma, who had pulled out an OG Super Soaker from behind his chair and is just letting it go all over Amonte. After the water gun runs out of juice, Zuma tosses it on the floor in the middle of the stage and leans back in his chair cracking up.
ZUMA ROCKWELL: PAYBACK, BITCH! Whoās thirsty now?!
Amonte doesnāt say anything, he jumps up pushing his now wet hair back runs off the stage and towards his dressing room, the cameramen try and follow him but Amonte quickly slams the door behind him forcing them out, mic still on and the cameraman outside, they listen in on Amonte.
AMONTE JORDAN: POOR ZUMA HE WANTED HIS MOMENT! HEāS A DISGRACE!
The scene cuts back to the main stage of the reunion. Cadence jumps up to run to the back and check on him
CADENCE WASHINGTON: Imma go check on him man.
NIKKO "BLAZE" COLE: Man this shit is crazy!
AMAYA "LYNNE" COLE: Iām happy I moved out the way, I do not want to get wet.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Chile, Zuma why did you splash Amonte like that?
A'LEAH JORDAN: Because heās a child.
KEON CAMP: I got wet a little, but I canāt even lie that it was funny a little.
Keon tries to hold his laughter in.
KEON CAMP: Amonte is going to hate Iām laughing, but I canāt help it.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Production is saying Amonte is refusing to come back out until he gets a fresh pair of clothes, I donāt know whatās going on.
ZUMA ROCKWELL: oh come on he needs to lighten up. Itās just a praaaaaank.
Zuma laughs, folding his arms over his chest.
ZUMA ROCKWELL: I mean seriously the guy can dish it out but really canāt take it. Iām surprised Rich Boy didnāt come with more clothing options.
Todrick bursts out laughing and high fives Zuma.
TODRICK TABOR: Honey, itās all fair in love and war. Someone got Amonte before he got someone else. Leah hun you shouldnāt speak of children, I called Ms. Cleo and itās not in the cards for you until you clean yourself up. You needed a bath as well. But that was a funny prank unlike crashing an ENTIRE fashion show! See how she couldnāt take it? I live, let the record reflect that hoe couldnāt handle a āprankā. Howād I do with my argument to the court of the fans Amaya?
AMAYA "LYNNE" COLE: Look leave me out of it, haha.
A'LEAH JORDAN: Iām going to check on my brother.
Leah gets up from her chair and walks towards the back.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Chile I even giggled myself over here.
KEON CAMP: I mean it is tit for tat, they go back and forth and itās all fun and games. I know Amonte is probably going to raise hell, but oh well heāll get over it.
NIKKO "BLAZE" COLE: Iāll admit homie had it coming to him, both him and his sister talk a lot on and off camera so Iām surprised it took this long for someone to get back at them. Donāt get me wrong I like Leah but her mouth is crazy, Iāve always told her the shit she says might get her into trouble.
The scene cuts backstage where Amonte and his sister Leah is shown walking in. Cadence makes his exit as soon as she comes back.
CADENCE WASHINGTON: I'll let yall two talk
Cadence leaves as Amonte finishes getting ready while Leah sits on the couch and rants to him.
A'LEAH JORDAN: Everyone is out there laughing saying itās prank, itās childish thatās what it is.
AMONTE JORDAN: I shouldnāt even go back out there, but I know thatās what they want and I wonāt let them get the best of me, this is my show and Iām the star.
A'LEAH JORDAN: Let them know without you this show wouldnāt even be a show, theyāre disrespecting the star and that aināt right, itās jealousy brother thatās all it is. And Iām disappointed with Keon, he didnāt even defend you, he sat there and laughed right with them.
AMONTE JORDAN: Typical, heās never had a backbone.
The two exit out of Amonteās dressing room and head back to the stage, Amonte sits back down in his chair and Leah sits in hers.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Welcome back Amonte, I see we did a quick wardrobe change.
AMONTE JORDAN: I mean I had too, I didnāt know I was attending a kindergarten playground, but the good thing about me is I always come prepared, I had a backup wardrobe so itās no biggie, Iām out here shining on these clowns.
A'LEAH JORDAN: Tell them brother!
Todrick stands up and pulls out some pom poms from behind the couch.
TODRICK TABOR: Ready okay. Amonte Amonte, heās the best, without him thereās no air in my chest, GOOOOOOO AMONTE!
Todrick claps and kicks like a typical cheerleader.
TODRICK TABOR: Thatās you Leah. No breath or purpose outside cheering the wicked witch on. Why are you really here hun?
AMONTE JORDAN: See what I mean, a child!
A'LEAH JORDAN: I donāt know why Iām still sitting out here entertaining these weirdos, I could be on a yacht somewhere enjoying a margarita and living life.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Speaking of margarita Leah, I mean in every scene you always had a drink in your hand and even earlier we touched on your drinking, so now can you see why the cast may think you have an actual problem?
A'LEAH JORDAN: I do not have a drinking problem and this will be the last time I talk about this, just because everyone else on this stage is dealing with theyāre own demons doesnāt mean they have to create one for me. If I had an issue I would say so but I do not drink everyday, when you're around a group of people that just gives you bad vibes, it makes you not want to be sober at times.
ZUMA ROCKWELL: She doesnāt have a problem...she has many problemzzzzz. Plural.
TODRICK TABOR: She just drinks enough in one sitting to make up for the days she misses. The streets are talking honey. Burn some sage and see who has to leave the room ole musty demon.
A'LEAH JORDAN: And you and your little friend over there have sucked enough dicks in these streets for the both of us so worry about your own life dear and not mines, like I said I suggest you keep your little mouth shut before I throw a defamation lawsuit on your ass and I bet thatās a check you wonāt be able to cash, SAWEETIE.
AMONTE JORDAN: Yeah because we both know he broke. This whole reunion has been nothing but slander on me and my sister and we honestly donāt have to sit here and take this.
A'LEAH JORDAN: Sure donāt.
ZUMA ROCKWELL: So leave.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Well you guys should understand that you brought a lot of negativity to the group, it was just negative energy from start to finish so you both should have known you would be in the hot seat.
A'LEAH JORDAN: Iām sitting over here arguing with someone in clothes probably less than $100 while Iām over here looking and smelling like money so I can see why itās hate, but luckily Iām a strong independent woman and can take the little jabs being thrown my way, but I donāt have to be around these people, they donāt run in my circle, I was only around off the strength of my brother so at the end of the day they should be grateful my presence was even in the room.
Leah flips her hair back.
A'LEAH JORDAN: And for that I no longer want to be a part of this tragedy.
Leah gets up from her seat and she walks off the stage only waving to her brother and Amaya.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Looks like weāve lost Leah, I hope one day she finds some sort of peace in her life, Iām not saying itās all her fault because everyone has played a role in this drama but Leah is very angry, and she just needs some love.
ZUMA ROCKWELL: Iām so confused. Who even was that?
TODRICK TABOR: Chile, we didnāt lose anything. She just regurgitates the same tired material. I am money, I smell like money, blah, blah, blah. You have money and do you need to say it EVERY second when you have to stand on your own two feet Roquel? I think not, because you can hold your own. She is Amonteās shadow and they try to call me the help but I can hold my own. Felicia has left the building honey, she needed a top off so she had to go. You know alcoholics need their fix honey. Sis, had to go! But as far as Iām concerned itās not about the money cause she spends hers on clothes to not be seen unless Amonte is and I spend mine in investments and that is what makes me a boss bitch and her the bottom of the barrel. But the Jordanās were the household always taking the scraps of the other nobles honey.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: You better read her honey.
Roquel snaps her fingers while pointing at Todrick.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Well sorry to see her go but honey we have a show to do and she only just made room for our next cast member. Tommii Drekko is no stranger to #theLIFE franchise, we first saw him we he made appearances on the LA franchise but then moved over to ATL where we saw him a couple times, well honey now he has made his way over to NY and even though it was only for a short period of time, he made sure to let people know Tommii was in the building.
The scene cuts to a video package of Tommii, the scene shows him in Mexico and a few unseen footage that didnāt make it to TV, the scene cuts back to the stage where Tommii is already sitting in the seat where Leah was sitting.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Tommii boo welcome, this isnāt our first meet but Iām always happy to see you.
TOMMII DREKKO: Ha, likewise Roquel, you are the GOAT of this reunion shit.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Yaaaas honey, the goat I like that. So why NY?
TOMMII DREKKO: Iām originally from here but I just grew up in Philly, once the Philly and Chicago franchises got scrapped, production just kind of bounced me between LA and ATL. But NY was always home, so it made sense ya feel me?
ROQUEL WEATHERS: It must have been strange coming in not really knowing anyone.
TOMMII DREKKO: I mean it was, but Iām an easy guy to get along with unless you cross me.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Why did it take so long for you to join the show?
TOMMII DREKKO: Contracts and scheduling played a huge part, but I wish I could have been on since the beginning. I probably would have had better relationships with the cast.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Who on the couch do you like from what you've seen so far during the season?
TOMMII DREKKO: I think everyone works for the show, I donāt really get into the drama, Iām like my homie Blaze over here like I keep to myself, Iām worried about feeding my family not that other shit.
NIKKO "BLAZE" COLE: For sure.
TOMMII DREKKO: I hate to see yāall tear each other down up here though, I know it makes great tv but sometimes those words cut deep. Iām not up here trying to play peacemaker but one day yāall going to look back at this and say āI look crazy.ā
AMONTE JORDAN: It aināt me, I say whatās on mind and these folks canāt handle it.
KEON CAMP: Iāve had enough, like come on Amonte you have to realize that some of the shit you say and do isnāt nice, it boggles my freaking mind that you sit here and think āYOU DO NOTHING.ā How about you own up to your shit, apologize, so we all can move on.
Amonte sits there speechless for a second, he doesnāt know how to respond because itās his best friend thatās putting him in his place.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Any words Amonte?
Amonte shakes his head āNo.ā
KEON CAMP: I know heās going to be mad at me after this but I donāt know what else to say, Iāve had his back most of the season and itās done nothing but cause problems in my own relationship, I know itās not all Amonte but I think if he owns up to his shit then maybe everyone else will and we can finally move the hell on.
AMONTE JORDAN: I suggest Keon stays quiet because he has some skeletons in his closest that he doesnāt want to come out.
KEON CAMP: So you're threatening me now? I have nothing to hide.
AMONTE JORDAN: You donāt want to go there with me Keon, because the dirt I have you on could possibly ruin your little relationship.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Wait Amonte, what are you talking about?
AMONTE JORDAN: I wonāt say, because Iām not that type of person.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: You canāt say you have some tea but then not tell us what
ZUMA ROCKWELL: It doesnāt even matter what he has to say. That just shows what a disgusting person he is. Amonte you even insinuate that youāre holding something over your friends head like that is so gross, dude. Keonās been having your back alllll season trying to repay you for something you did for him in the past and youād just try to hurt him like that for what? Nothing. I feel so sorry for you. You must feel so ugly in the inside if you think you need to tear EVERYONE around you down, if they donāt kiss your ass like your whack ass sister, to make yourself look better.
AMONTE JORDAN: No I feel sorry for you, I would never expose my friend and even though I donāt want you two to be together, I know you are what makes him happy so Iāll spare yāall. But tonight Keon has not had my back at all, heās allowed you two jackasses to tear me down and thatās where my anger at him comes from, I donāt even know how Iāll look at him after tonight.
Todrick rolls his eyes and whispers to Zuma āHere she go with her fake news again Chile. Pay her no mind, that boy is loyal to you in the present. Forget the past.
Zuma snickers and whispers back in between giggling: āThat selective memory of hers is something else. I wonder if they got any violins in the back.ā
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Keon, whatās going through your mind right now?
KEON CAMP: I donāt know what to say, I agree with what Zuma just said because for him to even let that come out of his mouth makes me think heās trying to blackmail me or something, itās becoming too personal right now.
AMONTE JORDAN: You made it personal when you allowed your boyfriend and āthe help.ā to attack me, Iāve helped you and supported you when no one else would.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: I still want to know this tea you're holding against your friend?
AMONTE JORDAN: Itās not tea, I lied because Iām angry. Iām disappointed because Keon sat here and let those two idiots come at me and did nothing, Iām hurt.
Keon turns in his chair to face Amonte.
KEON CAMP: Iāve said that itās more than one person involved, itās not just your fault Amonte but you have to take some ownership, itās like why canāt you be the bigger person and allow everyone else to follow your lead. Even if everyone doesnāt become friends after this, I think apologies are still owed.
AMONTE JORDAN: Forget the apologies, I donāt want them or need them. I will never be friends with those two as long as I have breath in my body, Iām done with this reunion.
ZUMA ROCKWELL: oh my gawwd the dramatics with this oneā¦
TODRICK TABOR: Byyyye Hoe! She canāt handle the heat from the fire she lit.
Todrick stands up and pulls up his skirt and flashes his ass in stockings at the screen.
Amonte jumps up from the chair, he walks past Cadence not even acknowledging him and walks off the stage.
ZUMA ROCKWELL: Just so weāre clear, thatās both of the Jordanās who just proved to be nothing but scary ass bitches just as we suspected.
The cameras follow Amonte backstage as he walks into his dressing room where his sister is waiting.
AMONTE JORDAN: Iām out, Iām not doing the attack Amonte thing, nope not today. They are lucky to even sit on the same stage as me, and my friendship with Keon is done after this.
A'LEAH JORDAN: Forget him, he was never a true friend anyway, he was such a leech and let's not forget he was sleeping with that rapper guy before and during Zuma the first couple weeks, I would have spilled that tea for sure, he aināt innocent.
AMONTE JORDAN: Baby sis, he can play innocent all he wants but this friendship is over.
The scene cuts back to the reunion stage.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: And welp there goes another one, I think the water earlier and what happened now was too much for him. Cadencre you've been quiet. How are you feeling right now?
CADENCE WASHINGTON: I mean obviously imma have to roll out too. But I just wish everybody would get along. Monte really is a good dude. I feel like he has a guard up for the show. But he really ain't all bad.
AMAYA "LYNNE" COLE: I think the show really got to his head, Iāve know Amonte for awhile now and he use to be so sweet, now donāt get me wrong heās always been the one to brag and toot his own horn but it was always in a fun manner, I donāt know who this person is anymore.
NIKKO "BLAZE" COLE: Man I think this little situationship we got going on here is a little broken.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Zuma and Todrick, if Amonte apologizes, do you think you guys could ever be friends with him?
ZUMA ROCKWELL: it would take more than that to forge a full on friendship but yeah if the guy was more humble then maybe that would be a good place to start. More because believe it or not I really donāt care what heās said about me...this whole time I kept saying I didnāt like the situation it put Keon in...like I donāt care if he rags on my clothing line...it might not be sold for thousands of dollars a piece but maybe thatās not the crowd Iām designing for. Maybe Iām making clothes for people who canāt afford Versace prices and thereās nothing wrong with that. The Amonte Iāve seen these past months while filming honestly isnāt someone I would want to associate with and Iāve given him many chances but as everyone has now seen, since that first dinner, the guy has never had anything nice to say. So actually nah, Amonte right now would never be someone I would ever want to call a friend.
TODRICK TABOR: Roquel, audacity must be on sale, because Thing 1 and Thing 2 bought it in bulk this entire season and displayed it tonight. Any person who pulls a āDjango Unchainedā and calls a person of color āthe helpā in the year of our lord 2020 is clearly out of touch. I could forgive, but Iād never forget. He changed his entire existence with plastic surgery and that makes his help comments worse because he wasnāt comfortable in his own skin. I am a strong black man and sometimes a strong black woman but I know who I am. That bih could neva.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: I want to say all you delivered this season and you made it a memorable one, production and MIL confirmed that there will be a season 2 of NY and Iām guessing all of you are returning, so Iāll go down the list and ask each of you if your coming back and whatās next, starting with you Zuma?
ZUMA ROCKWELL: All things considered this has been a fun experience and now with my line out and all the opportunities coming my way, plus the fact that Iāve made new friends and have my BFF and boyfriend along on the ride to share this journey with makes it way easier for me to say hell to the yeah! Iām coming back.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: I know thatās right, what about you Todrick?
TODRICK TABOR: Honey, Iāll be back. There is so much more I have to give. Baby Iām letting loose and letting have. I have shown the world that it is okay to be true to who YOU are. Forget all the rest. I heard the fans and thank you for the letters and the love and Iāll give you all I got next season loves. Muah.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Yaaaaas Chile, okay Geon and Gypan, whatās you two got going on and do you plan on coming back?
GEON TAYLOR: I definitely will be back. As long as everything still works with my agency and my contract I had fun filming and I can't wait to show you guys more of what I have coming
GYPAN TYLER: Same. I feel like this season was more about getting my wings. Jumping into the industry. So yea I definitely wanna see what else it has to offer
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Ok yes I live for it honey, and what about you Amaya?
AMAYA "LYNNE" COLE: Honestly the show was great, I enjoyed being on the show and interacting with everyone, some people I already knew while others we formed a friendship, but as for returning full time, I donāt think thatās something I can do right now. I have my reasons but who's to say you wonāt see me pop in and out here and there. As for whatās next, I donāt know yet. I have a few things lined up that I donāt want to speak too much on but as you know I am a lawyer so that will still play a major part in my life.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Well it sucks you wonāt come back full time but hopefully weāll see you around. Blaze, will we see you return and now that the ankle monitor is gone, I hope youāll be involved more with the cast.
NIKKO "BLAZE" COLE:Hell yeah Iām coming back, I donāt think you guys go to see my full potential but next season it's on, right now iām just focused on my son and providing him with everything he needs, he comes first.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: It really warms my heart to see the love you have for your son.
NIKKO "BLAZE" COLE: Thatās my rock.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: What about you Tommii?
TOMMII DREKKO: Hey, if the world and production wants to see me back then youāll see me back, I enjoyed my little stint on the show but trust me once the contract is finalized and everything is placed in order, youāll see more of little TOMMII DREKKO, BLAT BLAT!
Everyone on the stage laughs.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Boy you are crazy, donāt be making no gun noises up in here.
Todrick laughs and smirks.
TODRICK TABOR: Well honey, I started late but I have so much more to give Roquel and give it I will. This is not the last you will see of Todrick Tabor hunny. I came to werk!
ZUMA ROCKWELL: Iām not gonna lie though...itāll be nice not having cameras around all the time. There are SOME things that donāt need to be on camera.
Zuma says with a wink toward Keonās direction.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: Keon what about you chile? What's next for you and can we expect you back next season?
KEON CAMP: This experience for me has been a great one i canāt lie, when I was told about it I hesitated to say yes because i've seen what reality tv can do people but iām happy i decided to do it, as for next season of course, why wouldnāt i want to make more memories especially with Zuma by my side. I will say I wish Amonte and I wouldnāt have clashed tonight and I wish he would have stayed until the end but I guess he couldnāt handle what was being thrown at him and I understand. As for whatās next for me, that's something Iām working on so I canāt really say too much about it, I will say the magazines and the runways have been blowing my phone up so who knows you may see me in London or maybe even New York fashion week walking that runway.
ROQUEL WEATHERS: I know thatās right honey, you better claim in. Well I wish I could ask Leah and Amonte whatās next for them and if they were returning to the show but unfortunately they are no longer here with us on stage so, oh well. Guys I want to congratulate you on an amazing season and again I canāt wait to see what you have in store for us next season, tune into MIL for a special #theLIFENY Secrets Revealed / Unseen Footage right after this reunion special and thank you to everyone who has supported and watched the show, Goodnight.
