Roquel:
It has been a rocky season with the cast of #theLIFEla, let me tell you! But without all the back talking and drama, we wouldn’t have had a good season. Tonight I sit down with the cast of #theLIFEla where we will discuss all the juicy details of this season honey, all the smack downs, smack talk and HOOKUPS honey. Roquel is here to bring you the tea darling!! I want to welcome everyone to Part 1 of #theLIFEla Reunion.
A video plays in the background, documenting different occasions and altercations between the cast, the theme music plays in the background as the stage is shown on screen. Roquel is shown sitting in the chair in the middle of the stage while on one side Carlos, London, and Ephriam sit and the other side President, Benjamin Kennedy and Jada Montana sit.
Roquel:
Yesss Honey! I have the pleasure of sitting down with the cast of #theLIFEla for this 2 part reunion, on my left I would like to introduce Carlos, London, and Ephriam and on my right we have President, Benjamin and Jada.
The audience claps.
Roquel:
Before we jump right in, I want to ask everyone what was your experience like filming this show?
Roquel looks around, she stops at Ephriam.
Roquel:
Ephriam, what about you girl?
Ephriam:
It was Hell on earth *smiles*
Roquel:
Child!!! You made it look easy! and that body honey! You know i have to ask you to do it! We want you to get up and show everybody how Ephriam gets down! Give us a lil twerk honey!
The audience cheers Ephriam on to get up and dance, the camera catches London mumble under his breath.
London:
I didn’t know this was the stripclub.
London laughs to himself shaking his head.
Roquel:
What was that London! Being messy already!
Ephriam:
Oh its ok Roquel, I’m not ashamed at all *winks* I own up to it so I’m good *snaps*
London rolls his eyes
London:
I’m not being messy, Ephriam knows I make jokes about his dancing all the time and plus I’m not here really to waste my energy on Ephriam.
London looks right at President.
London:
I got my eyes set elsewhere, just waiting.
London smiles sarcastically.
London:
Patiently waiting Miss Roquel.
President looks at London, then at the rest of the cast, then back to London. He laughs
President:
Oh, you waiting on me? What it is then?
President Stands up and takes off his jacket. The security guards stand by. London stands up cracking his knuckles
London:
President you already know you don’t want it with me, that’s why your *BEEP* stayed in hiding when we wasn’t filming, you can’t see me in them streets and you not trying to see me on this stage.
London starts to walk towards President, but security rushes on stage pushing London back and grabbing ahold of President.
London:
Chill! I won’t touch dude, but I won’t sit here and be disrespected, this *BEEP* just started and he jumping already, you won’t get anymore famous off of me homie.
President pushes the guard off of him and laughs. He looks toward the audience.
President:
Did this *BEEP* or did this *BEEP* not just say he was waiting for me?
He looks back towards London. The audience is heard mumbling in the background
President:
You know where I live. You knew every event I hosted after filming. I invited you to see me in the streets. Don't front for these cameras dog. So i ask again What it is homeboy. Otherwise we can sit down and get this *BEEP* started
London pushes one of the security guards arms off of him, he adjusts his shirt and sits back down on the sofa.
London:
I can’t with this dude right now.
Carlos turns looking at London.
Carlos:
Yo, just chill out tonight man.
London brushes Carlos comments off still staring at President. President makes his way back to his seat, looking back at London, laughing.
President:
Man. Continue Roquel.
Roquel:
Anyway.. Lord. Can't even introduce the cast! Ya’ll just so messy tonight!!! yess! Now if we can continue. Carlos. Tell me a little about your experience on the show. What was it like filming with these individuals?
The camera pans to Carlos
Carlos:
In the beginning I loved filming the show, but I think after some time the show drained me, I think certain people sucked the fun out of the show.
Roquel:
Now you know i like to be specific. we don't do no “Certain People” in here. who sucked the fun out of the show for you? Was it Mama Mia? cuz that’s who you filmed with the most?
Carlos lets out a small laugh.
Carlos:
Ha, don’t hate on Mama Mia, she was trying to get a check to since she basically supplied me with one my whole life. But in all honesty Roquel?
Carlos takes a deep breath, he looks down at the floor and back up at Roquel.
Carlos:
I was going to sit here and be calm about the situation, but honestly this is the first time I’ve been in the same room with some of these people and there’s a certain someone I have an issue with besides President.
Carlos takes one more deep breath, suddenly Carlos turns and starts wailing on London sitting next to him, the security jumps up on stage while the other cast scatter out of the way. The security guards pull on Carlos trying to force him off of London while London lays back on the couch trying to fight back. Eprhiam breaks away from the security running up towards London and Carlos trying to help security pull Carlos off of London and the scene fades to black.
**Backstage**
Each cast member is shown being escorted into their separate dressing room. The camera pans to President’s room. President is shown sipping a drink.
President:
Man, I was definitely not expecting that *BEEP*. I think Imma need a blunt for the rest of this evening.
He laughs. The camera is shown going down the hallway. Y’layna is shown walking into Carlo’s dressing room.
Y’layna:
Carlos what the *BEEP* is going on
Carlos paces back and forth in his dressing room, the cameraman tries to enter the room but Carlos pushes him out slamming the door, a few seconds go by and the cameraman makes his way back inside Carlos dressing room.
Carlos:
I don’t know why y’all expected me to sit there and be calm while that *BEEP* sitting next to me, y’all *BEEP* it up when you sat him next to me. London said all that *BEEP* on camera, the jokes, the stabs and y’all thought we was going to sit there and be cool. I haven’t seen London since filming and I wasn’t about to sit back and let it slide, I *BEEP* that *BEEP* up.
Y’layna:
Look. I don't know what happened between either of you, but i do know that we have a show to do. Are you gonna be able to continue filming with him on stage? We can move your seat somewhere else. I just need to know that you can get out there and film without getting crazy.
Carlos:
You already know London going to try and retaliate so y’all can consider this reunion over.
Carlos continues pacing back and forth.
Carlos:
Where is bae at? I need my phone and *BEEP* I’m ready to go. I came and did what I needed to do, that dude was the only one I had a problem with. London walking around thinking this is his *BEEP* show and you over here trying to make me go and sit with this dude, this man publicly embarrassed you and that’s your friend?
Y’layna:
I’m gonna go talk to London. I don't want you to go anywhere. Just calm yourself down. and be ready to get back onstage. Okay?
Carlos:
Whatever!
Y’layna exits the room, closing the door behind her. She makes her way into the room with London who is shown sitting on the ledge of the couch texting on his phone, London shakes his head in disgust and furious at what just happened looks up and notices Y’layna standing in front of him.
London:
Way to keep your cast calm Y’layna, I don’t have to sit here and deal with this *BEEP* That *BEEP* was so random but I know you're happy huh? is this a ratings boost for you girl?
Y’layna:
London I don't know what has gotten into you since this reality show! But you need to remember this, anything that happened on camera was ya’ll doing. I could give a *BEEP* *BEEP* about ratings. But what I do care about is what the hell is going on with my best friend. *BEEP* the business side of this right now. I need to know what is going on with my best friend?
London looks away from Y’layna.
London:
I’m not trying to hear that bestfriend *BEEP* right now because you haven’t acted like one since we supposedly ended that beef we had.
London slides his phone in his back pocket and jumps up from the ledge of the couch getting closer to Y’layna.
London:
Control your cast before I go sit on that stage again, and I don’t want Carlos by me. I can’t promise you that I won’t get my revenge before this reunion is over!
Y’layna:
You know what London stop your *BEEP* There’s a very thick line between business and friendship. And you’re crossing way over that line right now dammit! This is my business. And if you wanna act crazy then i can handle business accordingly. You don't go making threats at me. Get ready to get back on stage.
London rolls his eyes. Y’layna is shown walking out of the door,
London:
Ha
London turns and looks at Jaya.
London:
Girl her silly threats don’t scare me, I’ll go back out on stage but you coming with me, all I know is I better not sit by Carlos again.
Both London and Jaya make their way towards the door heading towards the stage, the scene fades to black for a couple minutes, finally the scene opens up with the cast back on stage, on the left Carlos joins Jada and President on the couch while London, Ephriam, Benji and Jaya sit on the other, the camera cues to Roquel who is sitting back in the middle of the stage.
Roquel:
We are all back! And as you can see we have done a little shaking up with the seating arrangements. and we also have another member joining us on stage. Jaya Decarlo! Now we saw her pop in and out a few episodes. So tell us about your experience on the show
The camera cues to Jaya
Jaya:
Um...it was cool. I was more or less there to support my boy London. I knew this was something that he really wanted to pursue and I loved that I got to spend all this time with him seeing how we usually live in different cities. I gotta admit a lot of times I kinda felt like I was on the outside looking in because the cast is all intertwined and stuff but I never had any issues with anybody. Not any personal ones, anyway. But yeah, it was a fun new experience.
Roquel:
There we’re some scenes that we’re cut from the show, also there was a rumor going around that you didn’t want your private life to be filmed on the show.
Jaya laughs.
Jaya:
I mean...I wouldn’t necessarily say that. I do have my boundaries for the most part but I do have people in my life who really don’t wanna be exposed like that. And I gotta respect that. But I guess dealing with some drama that I have in the past I realize that having everybody all in your business just makes everything worse most of the time. If I can avoid that then I will but I knew going into this situation that I was gonna have to reveal some stuff. Just the way it is. It was just a matter of how much I wanted revealed.
Roquel:
Now one thing we did get the chance to see from you on camera was a small taste of your relationship with wrestler, Emilio. That kind of brewed up a little trouble with you another wrestler, Alex J, who’s actually here today. Tell us a little bit about what was going on with the two of you.
Jaya:
As far as I’m concerned it wasn’t much of anything. Me and Emilio had a complicated situation and she just ended up being a component of it. She wasn’t the only thing. It’s one of those situations where as young people you wanna be free to do your thing and stuff just kinda gets messy.
Alex is heard talking from the audience. The camera cues to her
Alex:
From my perspective i just never appreciated how I was portrayed to be the villain in that situation, you know. That was always my problem. Then seeing what happened at the party. That kinda made me look crazy. But i never said anything because i knew. I could have been the messy one and pulled out text messages between he and i and *BEEP* like that But at the end of the day, my problem had always been with him. It was never really with her. Like she said she was just a component in what was going on. At the end of the day, we both were two girls getting played by one man, In my opinion.
Roquel:
So there’s no beef with the two of you?
Alex:
From me no. I respect her, and wish her the best in everything she does. To be honest a lot of it probably was my dramatic ass. But yea. If she comes back for the second season and we work together again, it is what it is. And i’ll look forward to it!
The audience claps. The camera cuts back to a smiling Jaya.
Jaya:
Like she said or at least agreed there was really no beef. But I gotta say that I was definitely a little confused then and I am now because she just said the same thing about how she was being portrayed. I wouldn’t mind if you posted text messages or whatever because Emilio never lied to me about anything. Being upfront was a big thing and there was pretty much nothing that I didn’t know about. I Didn’t know like...intimate details or anything but I definitely wasn’t somebody who was getting played. Never that. But I really wasn’t aware of who was painting Alex as a villain. I think me and her had a conversation and that came up. I asked and never really got a straight answer for that. So yeah...I’ma have to say that I do think that came down to some dramatics. So I do wanna ask directly...Alex...who was saying all this about you?
Alex:
I think at that time, I was definitely going through a lot of confusing things in my life. so i was definitely letting things get to me that usually didn't. All of us are somehow in the public light so it was like everything was being played out on social media you know? I can't be the only one who saw the comments on twitter about me. Emilio knew about it too. we talked about it. but it always got brushed off. It looked as if i was just the fool in love chasing after this man who had absolutely no interest in me, but that wasn't what it was. At least that’s not how it was put to me. But if you left it to anyone on social media. i was just the *BEEP * in love. But at the end of the day, like i said, the real issue was never with her.. But to answer your question, there was quite a few people who had things to say but we arent about to sit here playing name games, because I’m over the situation. I’m in a great space right now. I’m happy. and hopefully she is too.
Jaya:
Sooooo...no names. Okaaaay. Well, yeah. It’s been a journey. Like, even since all that, some of which got shown a little bit when I was talking to London right before everybody took off to Vegas. A trip I couldn’t go to because I wasn’t in the right frame of mind. But since then stuff kinda straightened itself out and I’m happy. I got a real big new campaign in the works I’m shooting for soon so I really got no complaints.
Roquel:
You better plug honey!!! Now Jaya. Outside of that minor drama. when things went down. You were always there, but you were never there! Let’s take a look at the clips.
Clips of Jaya in different situations where she seemed distant from the group
Roquel:
Even tonight Jaya shows up as soon as the fight is over. Jaya you know how to avoid drama! I am telling you. Why is it that you just never seemed to be around until after everything happened.
Jada lets out a small laugh, she turns to President and whispers.
Jada:
Because she’s weak sauce, she wasn’t even out here defending her so called “bestfriend”.
The two giggle.
Jaya:
Come on now. The pettiness is not a good look for you. What exactly is it that you do, anyway? Because you just seem like a seat filler.
Jada looks at Jaya.
Jada:
Sweetie, I appeared more on the show then you did, I’m sorry you couldn’t keep your mouth off Emilio’s *BEEP* long enough to appear on the show. You talking about how you came on the show to support your friend, but you wasn’t out here supporting your friend when he was getting his *BEEP* beat.
Jaya:
“Sweetie”, I don’t care anything about your appearances on this show. I mean what do you do IN LIFE other than chime in on other people’s *BEEP* and be overall irrelevant. Get a name before you address me with this dumb stuff. London can defend himself against ONE dude. Chill.
President:
Jada just chill yo! for real. We didn't come here for that!
Jada flips her hair back.
Jada:
Listen, I got money boo and I made mines the classy way, I didn’t have to lay on my back and play cum dumpster to the mens locker-room. I’m from South Tampa Sweetie, I don’t talk much. I was on this show and I’m voicing my opinion, I think your phony as *BEEP* and I can’t stand broads like you.
Jaya laughs and shakes her head, turning to the crowd.
Jaya:
Don’t really need to say anything else. When a chick starts throwing out phantom ho insults with no facts behind it...it’s a done deal. Keep counting this “money” and we’ll all wait until we actually see it. Stay mad.
Roquel waves her fingers
Roquel:
Shade honey!! So for everyone else and Jaya who might want to know… What do you do Jada?
Jada:
I wrestled in GPW for a little while and I also model, but my family has money so I was born into that type of wealthy lifestyle.
Roquel:
Well there you have it. Signing checks honey!! I love it. What’s your issue with Jaya though. I don't ever remember the two of you filming together.
Jada smiles.
Jada:
I don’t have an issue with her personally, I just don’t like the bitch. I get a bad vibe from her, and honestly Alex J is a friend of mine, a personal friend of mine. And I didn’t like that whole situation went down, and to me that’s phony.
The camera cues to Alex who is shown laughing in the audience
Alex:
Let’s be clear. Jada is a big girl i didn't ask her to not like Jaya before anyone goes thinking that.
Alex laughs
Alex:
Jada is a firecracker. once her mind is set, its set. When she feels a way. she’s gonna make sure you know it. You either love her or hate her. there’s no inbetween with this girl.
Jada:
This is my own doing, I’m not even mad, nor am I’m hating on her. I don’t even know why this chick is sitting on this stage right now, she should be off on the side fetching us water and fruit.
Jada flips her hair one more time. Jaya rolls her eyes and flags Jada off.
Jaya:
Like I said...stay mad. For you to sit there and say “I don’t have an issue with her personally, I just don’t like the bitch” then ADMIT that you going off on a situation you don’t have the facts on makes you sound like a damn fool. A straight idiot. Sit up here being a catty ratchet all you want. It’s good that you don’t like me. I’m GLAD you don’t like me. One less person I gotta be concerned with. More time to spend on people that actually matter.
London leans over and whispers to Jaya.
London:
It doesn’t matter Jaya, forget them and her, she just trying to get her 15 seconds.
Roquel:
I’m sorry, I agree with that wholeheartedly. If you don't like someone, That doesn't mean you have an issue. That brings us to President. You said that very same thing to Ephriam didn’t you?
President:
I did.. . and i still feel the same way. I didn't have issues with dude. until now. Just didn't like him
Ephriam rolls his eyes
Ephriam:
Can I just say this for a moment, not liking me WAS the whole issue you got, there you go once again lying over not having an issue with me blah blah blah, when you not liking me IS an Issue, DUH! Don’t sit there and lie not having problems because you did, if you didn’t you wouldn’t be hating for no reason like portrayed on the show, acting all buku as **** and being slick about it behind my back….THATS where my beef with you actually started honey.
Carlos interrupts.
Carlos:
That’s what I don’t understand, he had no reason not to like Ephriam and I think that’s why we we’re confused.
Ephriam:
Right, and we DID actually get along at one point back when me and Carlos started beefing like thirsty bitches….no offense bae, so what the **** happened? All this angry spice over nothing, but I’m not surprised at all, nor do I even care, what I do care about is you being fraudulent about it though so come on lets hear it
President:
Can we roll the mother *BEEP* tapes! This *BEEP* been saying I’m fraudulent all this time. Roll the tapes. Show me one time I have said or done anything behind anyone’s back that i didn't say or do to them. Just because i don't like you *BEEP* Are you that pressed for me to like you. I get tired of having this same conversation. Yes we were cool for a very brief moment. and now we are not. case closed. I don't like ya weak ass. that’s it. Next question
President shakes his head and looks to Jada
President:
Like, how many times i gotta say the *BEEP*
Ephriam:
*eyeroll* oh my god this ***** completely missed the point. You LIED ABOUT NOT HAVING AN ISSUE WITH ME BEFORE OUR FIGHT HAPPENED IDIOT!!!! You did, I don’t care if you like me or not, but don’t act like everything is fine and dandy when its not, your issues with me is a problem, a problem obviously not addressed…..you don’t even have a valid reason to not like me either, except for that bull**** you keep spewing out “you’re weak” “you talk shit behind my back” those aren't valid reasons boo boo and you keep escaping the problem like its going away? No, explain yourself! Cause your answers are whack as ****
President:
I never acted like anything was fine and dandy. I don't like you. That’s not an issue for me. For it to be an issue i would have to have a problem with it. I'm perfectly fine with not liking you. And I don't have *BEEP*to explain to you.
Ephriam:
Which you expressed over and over with your “No Comments” and all that crap you keep thinley vailed behind those not so sweet words, I thin kyou should explain cause you come off pathetic and petty right now...but ok keep it locked inside hun, its going to haunt you for the time we live on this earth cause you can’t get over it like an adult….bye!
President shakes in anger
President:
Dude you keep trying to make something out of nothing. If i gotta repeat it again, here it goes for the last time, I don't like you because you’re a weak ass individual. Over and over again i tell you why you’re week. I told you that at your house. I told you why you were a weak ass individual at your house. You’re a bum. I don't know what more you want for me. We started off cool. I saw something in you I didn't like. so i deaded that shit.
Ephriam:
Bitch what did I just say? Weak ass individual ain’t good enough, there is more to it and you know what since your head is too far up in your own ass to admit it, I’ll do it for you…..that mother****** over there is mad because I played the game right with Carlos. While this guy, who obviously is just
going around playing his little mind games like a weakling, I actually worked to get him to choose me. You over there still confused in the feels, while I was confident enough to go up to him and say “hey lets take it further” Salty now? Cause I didn’t have to say this **** if you had admit to that like an adult, we wouldn’t be having this issue now huh?
President:
*BEEP* played the game right how. Ya *BEEP* still in my phone. Still in a bunch of other *BEEP* phone. I’ve moved along from him and you a long time ago partner. I decided i wanted to be with a *BEEP* that wants me and only me. You go ahead and play happy wife while your *BEEP* out getting his *BEEP* wet by some other queen. I’m not worried about you or that man. I got my own situation right now. and i don't come second to him at all.
Ephriam:
OOOOOOOH and there you was feeling like you was the original, oop, I GUESS NOT! *laughs* what you need to be more worried about is that *BEEP* of yours not leaving you behind cause you can’t be decisive in what you want
President shrugs him off and looks at Roquel
President:
At the end of the day he’s just a side piece that got chose. Just like the next side piece can get chosed and replace his ass real quick. I know Carlos. That one piece of ass aint gon be enough for him. And when he find the next one. I’ll be glad to be that person to be there for him
Ephriam:
*eyerolls and laughs* I don’t really care hunty, he still goes back to me as always, just like he did when he was briefly with you.
Roquel:
Honey that just sounds dumb! No shade. I wish my husband would be out *BEEP* with some other woman, and I be okay with that. Ephraim you need to learn your worth.No shade to you Carlos. But there are plenty of fish in the sea. He played both of yall. Ya’ll are mad at the wrong person.
The audience claps
Ephriam:
Please, I trust him enough to know he ain’t gonna replace me, I’m no clingy bitch Roquel nor do I want to be one either.
Roquel:
Whatever you say honey! YOu watched for yyourself the way he is. Even right now Carlos is sitting there quiet. Nothing to say. This is entertainment for him honey!!!
President:
Which is why I left it alone. I realized a long time ago. That *BEEP* don't give two *BEEP* about me so i found somebody that did. Thats that. It is what it is at the end of the day.
Carlos chimes in.
Carlos:
Look there’s no point to keep beating this dead horse, just leave it alone. These two don’t like each other and I don’t think they ever will. If anyone is to blame it would be me, I brought them two in a situation where I was confused but at the end of I day I decided that I wanted to be with Ephriam and that’s what it is.
Ephriam:
Oh I don’t hold grudges, dunno about him, but I sure don’t.
President:
And at the end of the day I wish them the best. If they are happy together great! Congratulations to them. Like i said before I just don't like him. And if that ever changes, i guess that remains to be seen. next question!
President shakes his head. The Camera cues back to Roquel
Roquel:
Another thing i found funny was how After London and President got into it, London and Ephriam formed this little alliance. Where did that come. From what i saw, they never even filmed together until the final episode. Lets roll the tape.
A rewind of the finale episode with London and Ephriam is shown. The scene pans back to Roquel
Roquel:
Honey, that looked shady to me i don't care what anyone says!
The audience laughed
Roquel:
Now correct me if I’m wrong, But both London and Ephriam we're “Big Advocates” for going at people for not coming at them directly, But at this little pow wow, they had a lot to say.
President and Jada are shown clapping along with the audience.
Roquel:
Why did you guys feel the need to talk about President behind his back like that?
Ephriam:
*eyeroll* well maybe if he didn’t duck out like a coward he would have heard it all. I mean he himself did it first, why don’t you ask him that first? Please do
President Laughs
President:
Once again Roquel, If there is a clip anywhere of me saying anything negative about them behind their back, that i didn't say to them, please roll it now!
He laughs again
President:
Now notice i said, “that I didn't say to them”. I definitely had my *BEEP* to say in confessionals. but anything i said in confessionals, was definitely said to their face. And this particular time, how was i hiding. Y’all left Vegas early, not me. I didn't even know yall left. so get that *BEEP* out of my face.
Ephriam:
Excuse meeeee, excuse me! May I need to say agai….
Roquel looks at London.
Roquel:
Wait, I want to hear from London, chill out Ephriam girl.
London looks around before answering.
London:
Ephriam and I had a friendship before the show, at the time we lived in separate cities so we barely got a chance to hang out or see each other. So us hanging out on the show wasn’t anything new, we’ve hung out off camera before, during and yes after the show. I never had an issue with Eprhiam, yes we’ve had our share of spats but what friendships doesn’t?
London pauses.
London:
I see both sides to the story, but in my opinion I feel like their issue isn’t only about them not liking each other, I think homeboy has something to do with it also.
President:
One thing we can agree on
Carlos rolls his eyes.
Carlos:
Speak my name.
London looks at Carlos.
London:
Everyone on this stage know you one of the reasons why these two could never form a genuine friendship, you over there sitting back while your hoes on stage fighting over you.
London laughs to himself.
London:
Someone check this *BEEP* please.
President:
Lets be clear. I never fought over him. If that’s why Ephriam was fighting me, thats on him. But i’m not about to keep spending my time talking about this clown
Roquel:
Chillllld! The shade. Carlos. you don’t seem to have anything to say about the issue. Do you not see in any way how you were wrong in this situation?
Roquel pauses and reaches for her phone
Roquel:
Wait a minute! child my husband is calling me! It’s time for me to get home to my man! We’ll pick this up next time on The Life Reunion Special part two!!! Get glued in tuned in honey!!!!!!
The audience claps. The credits roll
It has been a rocky season with the cast of #theLIFEla, let me tell you! But without all the back talking and drama, we wouldn’t have had a good season. Tonight I sit down with the cast of #theLIFEla where we will discuss all the juicy details of this season honey, all the smack downs, smack talk and HOOKUPS honey. Roquel is here to bring you the tea darling!! I want to welcome everyone to Part 1 of #theLIFEla Reunion.
A video plays in the background, documenting different occasions and altercations between the cast, the theme music plays in the background as the stage is shown on screen. Roquel is shown sitting in the chair in the middle of the stage while on one side Carlos, London, and Ephriam sit and the other side President, Benjamin Kennedy and Jada Montana sit.
Roquel:
Yesss Honey! I have the pleasure of sitting down with the cast of #theLIFEla for this 2 part reunion, on my left I would like to introduce Carlos, London, and Ephriam and on my right we have President, Benjamin and Jada.
The audience claps.
Roquel:
Before we jump right in, I want to ask everyone what was your experience like filming this show?
Roquel looks around, she stops at Ephriam.
Roquel:
Ephriam, what about you girl?
Ephriam:
It was Hell on earth *smiles*
Roquel:
Child!!! You made it look easy! and that body honey! You know i have to ask you to do it! We want you to get up and show everybody how Ephriam gets down! Give us a lil twerk honey!
The audience cheers Ephriam on to get up and dance, the camera catches London mumble under his breath.
London:
I didn’t know this was the stripclub.
London laughs to himself shaking his head.
Roquel:
What was that London! Being messy already!
Ephriam:
Oh its ok Roquel, I’m not ashamed at all *winks* I own up to it so I’m good *snaps*
London rolls his eyes
London:
I’m not being messy, Ephriam knows I make jokes about his dancing all the time and plus I’m not here really to waste my energy on Ephriam.
London looks right at President.
London:
I got my eyes set elsewhere, just waiting.
London smiles sarcastically.
London:
Patiently waiting Miss Roquel.
President looks at London, then at the rest of the cast, then back to London. He laughs
President:
Oh, you waiting on me? What it is then?
President Stands up and takes off his jacket. The security guards stand by. London stands up cracking his knuckles
London:
President you already know you don’t want it with me, that’s why your *BEEP* stayed in hiding when we wasn’t filming, you can’t see me in them streets and you not trying to see me on this stage.
London starts to walk towards President, but security rushes on stage pushing London back and grabbing ahold of President.
London:
Chill! I won’t touch dude, but I won’t sit here and be disrespected, this *BEEP* just started and he jumping already, you won’t get anymore famous off of me homie.
President pushes the guard off of him and laughs. He looks toward the audience.
President:
Did this *BEEP* or did this *BEEP* not just say he was waiting for me?
He looks back towards London. The audience is heard mumbling in the background
President:
You know where I live. You knew every event I hosted after filming. I invited you to see me in the streets. Don't front for these cameras dog. So i ask again What it is homeboy. Otherwise we can sit down and get this *BEEP* started
London pushes one of the security guards arms off of him, he adjusts his shirt and sits back down on the sofa.
London:
I can’t with this dude right now.
Carlos turns looking at London.
Carlos:
Yo, just chill out tonight man.
London brushes Carlos comments off still staring at President. President makes his way back to his seat, looking back at London, laughing.
President:
Man. Continue Roquel.
Roquel:
Anyway.. Lord. Can't even introduce the cast! Ya’ll just so messy tonight!!! yess! Now if we can continue. Carlos. Tell me a little about your experience on the show. What was it like filming with these individuals?
The camera pans to Carlos
Carlos:
In the beginning I loved filming the show, but I think after some time the show drained me, I think certain people sucked the fun out of the show.
Roquel:
Now you know i like to be specific. we don't do no “Certain People” in here. who sucked the fun out of the show for you? Was it Mama Mia? cuz that’s who you filmed with the most?
Carlos lets out a small laugh.
Carlos:
Ha, don’t hate on Mama Mia, she was trying to get a check to since she basically supplied me with one my whole life. But in all honesty Roquel?
Carlos takes a deep breath, he looks down at the floor and back up at Roquel.
Carlos:
I was going to sit here and be calm about the situation, but honestly this is the first time I’ve been in the same room with some of these people and there’s a certain someone I have an issue with besides President.
Carlos takes one more deep breath, suddenly Carlos turns and starts wailing on London sitting next to him, the security jumps up on stage while the other cast scatter out of the way. The security guards pull on Carlos trying to force him off of London while London lays back on the couch trying to fight back. Eprhiam breaks away from the security running up towards London and Carlos trying to help security pull Carlos off of London and the scene fades to black.
**Backstage**
Each cast member is shown being escorted into their separate dressing room. The camera pans to President’s room. President is shown sipping a drink.
President:
Man, I was definitely not expecting that *BEEP*. I think Imma need a blunt for the rest of this evening.
He laughs. The camera is shown going down the hallway. Y’layna is shown walking into Carlo’s dressing room.
Y’layna:
Carlos what the *BEEP* is going on
Carlos paces back and forth in his dressing room, the cameraman tries to enter the room but Carlos pushes him out slamming the door, a few seconds go by and the cameraman makes his way back inside Carlos dressing room.
Carlos:
I don’t know why y’all expected me to sit there and be calm while that *BEEP* sitting next to me, y’all *BEEP* it up when you sat him next to me. London said all that *BEEP* on camera, the jokes, the stabs and y’all thought we was going to sit there and be cool. I haven’t seen London since filming and I wasn’t about to sit back and let it slide, I *BEEP* that *BEEP* up.
Y’layna:
Look. I don't know what happened between either of you, but i do know that we have a show to do. Are you gonna be able to continue filming with him on stage? We can move your seat somewhere else. I just need to know that you can get out there and film without getting crazy.
Carlos:
You already know London going to try and retaliate so y’all can consider this reunion over.
Carlos continues pacing back and forth.
Carlos:
Where is bae at? I need my phone and *BEEP* I’m ready to go. I came and did what I needed to do, that dude was the only one I had a problem with. London walking around thinking this is his *BEEP* show and you over here trying to make me go and sit with this dude, this man publicly embarrassed you and that’s your friend?
Y’layna:
I’m gonna go talk to London. I don't want you to go anywhere. Just calm yourself down. and be ready to get back onstage. Okay?
Carlos:
Whatever!
Y’layna exits the room, closing the door behind her. She makes her way into the room with London who is shown sitting on the ledge of the couch texting on his phone, London shakes his head in disgust and furious at what just happened looks up and notices Y’layna standing in front of him.
London:
Way to keep your cast calm Y’layna, I don’t have to sit here and deal with this *BEEP* That *BEEP* was so random but I know you're happy huh? is this a ratings boost for you girl?
Y’layna:
London I don't know what has gotten into you since this reality show! But you need to remember this, anything that happened on camera was ya’ll doing. I could give a *BEEP* *BEEP* about ratings. But what I do care about is what the hell is going on with my best friend. *BEEP* the business side of this right now. I need to know what is going on with my best friend?
London looks away from Y’layna.
London:
I’m not trying to hear that bestfriend *BEEP* right now because you haven’t acted like one since we supposedly ended that beef we had.
London slides his phone in his back pocket and jumps up from the ledge of the couch getting closer to Y’layna.
London:
Control your cast before I go sit on that stage again, and I don’t want Carlos by me. I can’t promise you that I won’t get my revenge before this reunion is over!
Y’layna:
You know what London stop your *BEEP* There’s a very thick line between business and friendship. And you’re crossing way over that line right now dammit! This is my business. And if you wanna act crazy then i can handle business accordingly. You don't go making threats at me. Get ready to get back on stage.
London rolls his eyes. Y’layna is shown walking out of the door,
London:
Ha
London turns and looks at Jaya.
London:
Girl her silly threats don’t scare me, I’ll go back out on stage but you coming with me, all I know is I better not sit by Carlos again.
Both London and Jaya make their way towards the door heading towards the stage, the scene fades to black for a couple minutes, finally the scene opens up with the cast back on stage, on the left Carlos joins Jada and President on the couch while London, Ephriam, Benji and Jaya sit on the other, the camera cues to Roquel who is sitting back in the middle of the stage.
Roquel:
We are all back! And as you can see we have done a little shaking up with the seating arrangements. and we also have another member joining us on stage. Jaya Decarlo! Now we saw her pop in and out a few episodes. So tell us about your experience on the show
The camera cues to Jaya
Jaya:
Um...it was cool. I was more or less there to support my boy London. I knew this was something that he really wanted to pursue and I loved that I got to spend all this time with him seeing how we usually live in different cities. I gotta admit a lot of times I kinda felt like I was on the outside looking in because the cast is all intertwined and stuff but I never had any issues with anybody. Not any personal ones, anyway. But yeah, it was a fun new experience.
Roquel:
There we’re some scenes that we’re cut from the show, also there was a rumor going around that you didn’t want your private life to be filmed on the show.
Jaya laughs.
Jaya:
I mean...I wouldn’t necessarily say that. I do have my boundaries for the most part but I do have people in my life who really don’t wanna be exposed like that. And I gotta respect that. But I guess dealing with some drama that I have in the past I realize that having everybody all in your business just makes everything worse most of the time. If I can avoid that then I will but I knew going into this situation that I was gonna have to reveal some stuff. Just the way it is. It was just a matter of how much I wanted revealed.
Roquel:
Now one thing we did get the chance to see from you on camera was a small taste of your relationship with wrestler, Emilio. That kind of brewed up a little trouble with you another wrestler, Alex J, who’s actually here today. Tell us a little bit about what was going on with the two of you.
Jaya:
As far as I’m concerned it wasn’t much of anything. Me and Emilio had a complicated situation and she just ended up being a component of it. She wasn’t the only thing. It’s one of those situations where as young people you wanna be free to do your thing and stuff just kinda gets messy.
Alex is heard talking from the audience. The camera cues to her
Alex:
From my perspective i just never appreciated how I was portrayed to be the villain in that situation, you know. That was always my problem. Then seeing what happened at the party. That kinda made me look crazy. But i never said anything because i knew. I could have been the messy one and pulled out text messages between he and i and *BEEP* like that But at the end of the day, my problem had always been with him. It was never really with her. Like she said she was just a component in what was going on. At the end of the day, we both were two girls getting played by one man, In my opinion.
Roquel:
So there’s no beef with the two of you?
Alex:
From me no. I respect her, and wish her the best in everything she does. To be honest a lot of it probably was my dramatic ass. But yea. If she comes back for the second season and we work together again, it is what it is. And i’ll look forward to it!
The audience claps. The camera cuts back to a smiling Jaya.
Jaya:
Like she said or at least agreed there was really no beef. But I gotta say that I was definitely a little confused then and I am now because she just said the same thing about how she was being portrayed. I wouldn’t mind if you posted text messages or whatever because Emilio never lied to me about anything. Being upfront was a big thing and there was pretty much nothing that I didn’t know about. I Didn’t know like...intimate details or anything but I definitely wasn’t somebody who was getting played. Never that. But I really wasn’t aware of who was painting Alex as a villain. I think me and her had a conversation and that came up. I asked and never really got a straight answer for that. So yeah...I’ma have to say that I do think that came down to some dramatics. So I do wanna ask directly...Alex...who was saying all this about you?
Alex:
I think at that time, I was definitely going through a lot of confusing things in my life. so i was definitely letting things get to me that usually didn't. All of us are somehow in the public light so it was like everything was being played out on social media you know? I can't be the only one who saw the comments on twitter about me. Emilio knew about it too. we talked about it. but it always got brushed off. It looked as if i was just the fool in love chasing after this man who had absolutely no interest in me, but that wasn't what it was. At least that’s not how it was put to me. But if you left it to anyone on social media. i was just the *BEEP * in love. But at the end of the day, like i said, the real issue was never with her.. But to answer your question, there was quite a few people who had things to say but we arent about to sit here playing name games, because I’m over the situation. I’m in a great space right now. I’m happy. and hopefully she is too.
Jaya:
Sooooo...no names. Okaaaay. Well, yeah. It’s been a journey. Like, even since all that, some of which got shown a little bit when I was talking to London right before everybody took off to Vegas. A trip I couldn’t go to because I wasn’t in the right frame of mind. But since then stuff kinda straightened itself out and I’m happy. I got a real big new campaign in the works I’m shooting for soon so I really got no complaints.
Roquel:
You better plug honey!!! Now Jaya. Outside of that minor drama. when things went down. You were always there, but you were never there! Let’s take a look at the clips.
Clips of Jaya in different situations where she seemed distant from the group
Roquel:
Even tonight Jaya shows up as soon as the fight is over. Jaya you know how to avoid drama! I am telling you. Why is it that you just never seemed to be around until after everything happened.
Jada lets out a small laugh, she turns to President and whispers.
Jada:
Because she’s weak sauce, she wasn’t even out here defending her so called “bestfriend”.
The two giggle.
Jaya:
Come on now. The pettiness is not a good look for you. What exactly is it that you do, anyway? Because you just seem like a seat filler.
Jada looks at Jaya.
Jada:
Sweetie, I appeared more on the show then you did, I’m sorry you couldn’t keep your mouth off Emilio’s *BEEP* long enough to appear on the show. You talking about how you came on the show to support your friend, but you wasn’t out here supporting your friend when he was getting his *BEEP* beat.
Jaya:
“Sweetie”, I don’t care anything about your appearances on this show. I mean what do you do IN LIFE other than chime in on other people’s *BEEP* and be overall irrelevant. Get a name before you address me with this dumb stuff. London can defend himself against ONE dude. Chill.
President:
Jada just chill yo! for real. We didn't come here for that!
Jada flips her hair back.
Jada:
Listen, I got money boo and I made mines the classy way, I didn’t have to lay on my back and play cum dumpster to the mens locker-room. I’m from South Tampa Sweetie, I don’t talk much. I was on this show and I’m voicing my opinion, I think your phony as *BEEP* and I can’t stand broads like you.
Jaya laughs and shakes her head, turning to the crowd.
Jaya:
Don’t really need to say anything else. When a chick starts throwing out phantom ho insults with no facts behind it...it’s a done deal. Keep counting this “money” and we’ll all wait until we actually see it. Stay mad.
Roquel waves her fingers
Roquel:
Shade honey!! So for everyone else and Jaya who might want to know… What do you do Jada?
Jada:
I wrestled in GPW for a little while and I also model, but my family has money so I was born into that type of wealthy lifestyle.
Roquel:
Well there you have it. Signing checks honey!! I love it. What’s your issue with Jaya though. I don't ever remember the two of you filming together.
Jada smiles.
Jada:
I don’t have an issue with her personally, I just don’t like the bitch. I get a bad vibe from her, and honestly Alex J is a friend of mine, a personal friend of mine. And I didn’t like that whole situation went down, and to me that’s phony.
The camera cues to Alex who is shown laughing in the audience
Alex:
Let’s be clear. Jada is a big girl i didn't ask her to not like Jaya before anyone goes thinking that.
Alex laughs
Alex:
Jada is a firecracker. once her mind is set, its set. When she feels a way. she’s gonna make sure you know it. You either love her or hate her. there’s no inbetween with this girl.
Jada:
This is my own doing, I’m not even mad, nor am I’m hating on her. I don’t even know why this chick is sitting on this stage right now, she should be off on the side fetching us water and fruit.
Jada flips her hair one more time. Jaya rolls her eyes and flags Jada off.
Jaya:
Like I said...stay mad. For you to sit there and say “I don’t have an issue with her personally, I just don’t like the bitch” then ADMIT that you going off on a situation you don’t have the facts on makes you sound like a damn fool. A straight idiot. Sit up here being a catty ratchet all you want. It’s good that you don’t like me. I’m GLAD you don’t like me. One less person I gotta be concerned with. More time to spend on people that actually matter.
London leans over and whispers to Jaya.
London:
It doesn’t matter Jaya, forget them and her, she just trying to get her 15 seconds.
Roquel:
I’m sorry, I agree with that wholeheartedly. If you don't like someone, That doesn't mean you have an issue. That brings us to President. You said that very same thing to Ephriam didn’t you?
President:
I did.. . and i still feel the same way. I didn't have issues with dude. until now. Just didn't like him
Ephriam rolls his eyes
Ephriam:
Can I just say this for a moment, not liking me WAS the whole issue you got, there you go once again lying over not having an issue with me blah blah blah, when you not liking me IS an Issue, DUH! Don’t sit there and lie not having problems because you did, if you didn’t you wouldn’t be hating for no reason like portrayed on the show, acting all buku as **** and being slick about it behind my back….THATS where my beef with you actually started honey.
Carlos interrupts.
Carlos:
That’s what I don’t understand, he had no reason not to like Ephriam and I think that’s why we we’re confused.
Ephriam:
Right, and we DID actually get along at one point back when me and Carlos started beefing like thirsty bitches….no offense bae, so what the **** happened? All this angry spice over nothing, but I’m not surprised at all, nor do I even care, what I do care about is you being fraudulent about it though so come on lets hear it
President:
Can we roll the mother *BEEP* tapes! This *BEEP* been saying I’m fraudulent all this time. Roll the tapes. Show me one time I have said or done anything behind anyone’s back that i didn't say or do to them. Just because i don't like you *BEEP* Are you that pressed for me to like you. I get tired of having this same conversation. Yes we were cool for a very brief moment. and now we are not. case closed. I don't like ya weak ass. that’s it. Next question
President shakes his head and looks to Jada
President:
Like, how many times i gotta say the *BEEP*
Ephriam:
*eyeroll* oh my god this ***** completely missed the point. You LIED ABOUT NOT HAVING AN ISSUE WITH ME BEFORE OUR FIGHT HAPPENED IDIOT!!!! You did, I don’t care if you like me or not, but don’t act like everything is fine and dandy when its not, your issues with me is a problem, a problem obviously not addressed…..you don’t even have a valid reason to not like me either, except for that bull**** you keep spewing out “you’re weak” “you talk shit behind my back” those aren't valid reasons boo boo and you keep escaping the problem like its going away? No, explain yourself! Cause your answers are whack as ****
President:
I never acted like anything was fine and dandy. I don't like you. That’s not an issue for me. For it to be an issue i would have to have a problem with it. I'm perfectly fine with not liking you. And I don't have *BEEP*to explain to you.
Ephriam:
Which you expressed over and over with your “No Comments” and all that crap you keep thinley vailed behind those not so sweet words, I thin kyou should explain cause you come off pathetic and petty right now...but ok keep it locked inside hun, its going to haunt you for the time we live on this earth cause you can’t get over it like an adult….bye!
President shakes in anger
President:
Dude you keep trying to make something out of nothing. If i gotta repeat it again, here it goes for the last time, I don't like you because you’re a weak ass individual. Over and over again i tell you why you’re week. I told you that at your house. I told you why you were a weak ass individual at your house. You’re a bum. I don't know what more you want for me. We started off cool. I saw something in you I didn't like. so i deaded that shit.
Ephriam:
Bitch what did I just say? Weak ass individual ain’t good enough, there is more to it and you know what since your head is too far up in your own ass to admit it, I’ll do it for you…..that mother****** over there is mad because I played the game right with Carlos. While this guy, who obviously is just
going around playing his little mind games like a weakling, I actually worked to get him to choose me. You over there still confused in the feels, while I was confident enough to go up to him and say “hey lets take it further” Salty now? Cause I didn’t have to say this **** if you had admit to that like an adult, we wouldn’t be having this issue now huh?
President:
*BEEP* played the game right how. Ya *BEEP* still in my phone. Still in a bunch of other *BEEP* phone. I’ve moved along from him and you a long time ago partner. I decided i wanted to be with a *BEEP* that wants me and only me. You go ahead and play happy wife while your *BEEP* out getting his *BEEP* wet by some other queen. I’m not worried about you or that man. I got my own situation right now. and i don't come second to him at all.
Ephriam:
OOOOOOOH and there you was feeling like you was the original, oop, I GUESS NOT! *laughs* what you need to be more worried about is that *BEEP* of yours not leaving you behind cause you can’t be decisive in what you want
President shrugs him off and looks at Roquel
President:
At the end of the day he’s just a side piece that got chose. Just like the next side piece can get chosed and replace his ass real quick. I know Carlos. That one piece of ass aint gon be enough for him. And when he find the next one. I’ll be glad to be that person to be there for him
Ephriam:
*eyerolls and laughs* I don’t really care hunty, he still goes back to me as always, just like he did when he was briefly with you.
Roquel:
Honey that just sounds dumb! No shade. I wish my husband would be out *BEEP* with some other woman, and I be okay with that. Ephraim you need to learn your worth.No shade to you Carlos. But there are plenty of fish in the sea. He played both of yall. Ya’ll are mad at the wrong person.
The audience claps
Ephriam:
Please, I trust him enough to know he ain’t gonna replace me, I’m no clingy bitch Roquel nor do I want to be one either.
Roquel:
Whatever you say honey! YOu watched for yyourself the way he is. Even right now Carlos is sitting there quiet. Nothing to say. This is entertainment for him honey!!!
President:
Which is why I left it alone. I realized a long time ago. That *BEEP* don't give two *BEEP* about me so i found somebody that did. Thats that. It is what it is at the end of the day.
Carlos chimes in.
Carlos:
Look there’s no point to keep beating this dead horse, just leave it alone. These two don’t like each other and I don’t think they ever will. If anyone is to blame it would be me, I brought them two in a situation where I was confused but at the end of I day I decided that I wanted to be with Ephriam and that’s what it is.
Ephriam:
Oh I don’t hold grudges, dunno about him, but I sure don’t.
President:
And at the end of the day I wish them the best. If they are happy together great! Congratulations to them. Like i said before I just don't like him. And if that ever changes, i guess that remains to be seen. next question!
President shakes his head. The Camera cues back to Roquel
Roquel:
Another thing i found funny was how After London and President got into it, London and Ephriam formed this little alliance. Where did that come. From what i saw, they never even filmed together until the final episode. Lets roll the tape.
A rewind of the finale episode with London and Ephriam is shown. The scene pans back to Roquel
Roquel:
Honey, that looked shady to me i don't care what anyone says!
The audience laughed
Roquel:
Now correct me if I’m wrong, But both London and Ephriam we're “Big Advocates” for going at people for not coming at them directly, But at this little pow wow, they had a lot to say.
President and Jada are shown clapping along with the audience.
Roquel:
Why did you guys feel the need to talk about President behind his back like that?
Ephriam:
*eyeroll* well maybe if he didn’t duck out like a coward he would have heard it all. I mean he himself did it first, why don’t you ask him that first? Please do
President Laughs
President:
Once again Roquel, If there is a clip anywhere of me saying anything negative about them behind their back, that i didn't say to them, please roll it now!
He laughs again
President:
Now notice i said, “that I didn't say to them”. I definitely had my *BEEP* to say in confessionals. but anything i said in confessionals, was definitely said to their face. And this particular time, how was i hiding. Y’all left Vegas early, not me. I didn't even know yall left. so get that *BEEP* out of my face.
Ephriam:
Excuse meeeee, excuse me! May I need to say agai….
Roquel looks at London.
Roquel:
Wait, I want to hear from London, chill out Ephriam girl.
London looks around before answering.
London:
Ephriam and I had a friendship before the show, at the time we lived in separate cities so we barely got a chance to hang out or see each other. So us hanging out on the show wasn’t anything new, we’ve hung out off camera before, during and yes after the show. I never had an issue with Eprhiam, yes we’ve had our share of spats but what friendships doesn’t?
London pauses.
London:
I see both sides to the story, but in my opinion I feel like their issue isn’t only about them not liking each other, I think homeboy has something to do with it also.
President:
One thing we can agree on
Carlos rolls his eyes.
Carlos:
Speak my name.
London looks at Carlos.
London:
Everyone on this stage know you one of the reasons why these two could never form a genuine friendship, you over there sitting back while your hoes on stage fighting over you.
London laughs to himself.
London:
Someone check this *BEEP* please.
President:
Lets be clear. I never fought over him. If that’s why Ephriam was fighting me, thats on him. But i’m not about to keep spending my time talking about this clown
Roquel:
Chillllld! The shade. Carlos. you don’t seem to have anything to say about the issue. Do you not see in any way how you were wrong in this situation?
Roquel pauses and reaches for her phone
Roquel:
Wait a minute! child my husband is calling me! It’s time for me to get home to my man! We’ll pick this up next time on The Life Reunion Special part two!!! Get glued in tuned in honey!!!!!!
The audience claps. The credits roll
