I'm glad you came by.
Yeah.
How are you?
You know, I have a lot going on, a lot on my plate.
Grandson moving in and to raise the boys.
Yeah.
Just trying to balance, it's tough.
I just want to let you know that I admire you,
and I love what you're doing with your brunches.
You're very inspiring to me.
You motivate me, you encourage me.
I just feel that it's in both of our best interests for me
not to attend anymore future brunches.
I think that it's petty for Marie
to uninvite herself to the brunches.
The brunches are definitely not the problem.
It's Marie's shady attitude.
That brunch was a private brunch that I invited for women that I
know personally, who are going through things, like yourself
that I wanted you there to receive
empowerment because of everything
that you're going through.
But more so, Marie, I wanted you there so that you
can empower the women as well.
I wanted for you to show that an empowered woman
can empower other women.
How can you empower when there's
shade going on in front of you.
How can you-- you know, like--
Are you going to be the light or conform to the darkness?
And I felt like in that moment, you
had the opportunity to really help your friend, me--
this was my brunch, to really help me bring it back around.
I am always the one charged with ruining
Lateshia's brunch because I'm vocal and very transparent.
I say what I mean and I mean what I say.
If I plead the fifth or not.
Damned if I do, damned if I don't.
I did not hear shade from anybody else, Marie.
All it takes is how many people to ruin something once?
One person.
Shouldn't have been two, which is
my friend who got up and left.
Why they so bothered that I left?
It's not them.
It's me that's bothered. [INAUDIBLE]
Lateshia.
Your actions proved to me that you were
not even there for me, friend.
What is it that you want me to do.
Let this stuff go.
And the only way you're going to be able to let it go
is to talk about it.
I forgive you. What happened?
Let's talk about it.
Let's move forward.
Otherwise, all this other stuff you got over
here, you're dealing with this, you're
dealing with that [INAUDIBLE]. - That's fine.
I'm through with it.
She'll never own it.
You know what happened just like I know what happened.
I'm through with it.
Why we keep talking about this?
I told you I'm through it.
I fixed the problem.
I'm not attending no more brunches.
I have uninvited myself for our friendship sake.
I'm not going to get charged with one or another one
of your brunches.
I'm not going to be--
I don't want to be in the same room with Latrice,
that somebody literally tried to ruin me.
You sitting here telling me to do this.
I need to do this, do that.
Why you not over there telling her.
I did and she came in the bathroom and talked to you.
She came up with them damn lies.
That's what she did. You heard her.
That's why I bounced.
I feel like you were wrong, and I feel like you should have
a conversation when things die down
just to hear her [INAUDIBLE].
I'm wrong because I won't have a conversation.
It ain't that.
You wrong because you left my brunch.
Man.
And you caused all that commo--
Marie, we were in the bathroom screaming.
- [INAUDIBLE]. - We were in there screaming.
I left.
I've been with Marie right beside her through everything.
I totally get it.
Marie isn't the only one who got hurt with the rumors,
but she's the only one that's still holding on to it.
You have not one time, Marie, in this situation, have you--
you're not going to take accountability
for nothing as a friend should.
I wanted to leave.
As a friendship.
As a friend. - That's the point [INAUDIBLE].
You want me to hear you out, but you
don't want to hear me out.
It's Marie's way or no way, and that's
not how it works over here. - That's not true.
Yes, it is.
