Well, Mona Scott-Young has brought us the juiciest reality show known to man and it is quickly becoming America's favorite guilty pleasure viewing choice. Last night's episode of Love & Hip Hop Atlanta was outrageous, touching, intriguing and a *side eye* factor all at the same damn time. We saw Mimi and Stevie J attempt to bring some sanity to their interactions by speaking to a clinical psychologist. Although he is the therapist from the infamous Maury Povich daytime talk show, he quickly got to the core of Mimi and Stevie's issues and helped them open up about their pasts. Knowing now that Stevie J was abandoned by his mother at birth sheds a lot of light as to his faulty dealings with the women in his life and Mimi's Mommy issues also lend to her need to keep Stevie J around. I'm proud to see Vh1 showing the importance of therapy in this positive light and how it can help heal open wounds. More couples should be as brave and courageous as Stevie and Mimi...kudos to them.
Scrappy was up to his old shady ways trying to plan and plot a strategy to get off child support. I understand many young males of color don't like the system/government in their "business", but why is there a need to pay for expensive lawyers if you're planning on paying the child support anyway? Sounds kind of backwards to me, but I hope him and Erica figure it out. Although Side Chick Buckey (from Flavor Flav's Flavor of Love dating show) is conniving and ratchet, she has a little bit of sense and may be able to help guide Scrappy to the right course of action.
Joseline aka The Side Chick is quickly claiming her personal power and slowly cutting the strong ties that Stevie J bonds her with. Sleazy, I mean, Stevie J is quick to always remind her that he will exile her from the music industry and send her packing all her thongs, back to the strip club, but his threats are starting to wear thin on the poor child. I'm not sure how the season will end between Joseline and her "man-ager", but Lord knows something needs to change.
Benzino and Karlie Redd are just too much and I am really trying to figure out if this is a publicity stunt on both sides to improve their images. Visions of Benzino figuratively running through The Source magazine offices smacking ass and going under skirts comes to mind (this is not fact), but he now is showing his soft and human side while around Karlie as he spoils her and lavishes her with gifts and attention. I really can't be mad at the brother though; He's very charming and convincing.
At times I think that Mimi, Stevie, Joseline, Karlie and K. Michelle, who is such a talented artist, are all just great actors, but then I realize that Love & Hip Hop is so ratchet, ignorant, hilarious, addicting and ridiculous that I think to myself, you just can't write stuff like this.
SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS
Who is your favorite character on LHHATL and why?
Do you feel bad for Mimi?
Does Karlie Redd seem sincere?
Who do you dislike the most on the show?
I feel bad for Mimi because she doesn't get it. She needs to accept Stevie for who is, and if she can't, she needs to move on. 12 years of the same shade makes it harder to find the light. He knows she'll take him back, so he's not gonna change. It is what it is and if she can't live with it, then it has to be what it was. then, she'll never be happy.
ReplyDeleteScrappy and his new girl's relationship seems contrived. She's there because the cameras are there.
I am starting to like Joseline the most. Don't get me wrong, the girl is a hoe, but she owns it. She seems very reasonable. She keeps it real. She doesn't spend her time on petty shit (telling both Erica and Mimi that she'd give them their points on something petty lol). I think she knows who she is and she doesn't make excuses for it or she doesn't apologize for I either. That's why I like her.
I read that K Michelle beefs it with everyone. Toya is calling her a liar, and she is going at it with a Braxton. If she is trying to change her image of not being such a hot head and she's ez to work with, she's not doing a very good job.
