[MUSIC PLAYING]
I'm the communicator.
Let's all get together and talk.
I appreciate you guys for coming.
Everything that you guys are doing in the city,
I am super proud of you.
Black women, we could do more together than we can apart.
Let's cheers to the good life 'cause we are living it.
We are living it.
Yes.
I'm glad Aikisha is here because it's time to clear the air.
I've invited her to my brunches, and I've brought her
into my Farish Street project.
I need to figure this woman out.
And I don't know about Marie--
She's having a lupus flare up, so unfortunately she
couldn't be here. But she'll be on FaceTime.
OK.
Everybody has-- a lot of things going on, and I just
think it's-- you know, just celebrate
the people that you're with.
I wasn't sure if I was welcome.
I heard I missed an event not too long ago.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
I actually went to Marie's birthday dinner.
Oh, when'd she have a birthday dinner?
You wasn't invited?
[SCOFFING]
Apparently not.
I didn't even know she had a birthday dinner.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. You wasn't invited.
So Latrice was at Marie's birthday dinner,
and Aikisha didn't get invited? - Girl.
Oh, how about that for some tea.
Considering that Latrice got an invite and I wasn't invited,
so now I need to figure out where I stand
in this little sisterhood.
But you are here.
What.
And that's another reason I wanted to make
sure we all came together.
I don't like the he said, she said.
Tambra Cherie is a walking contradiction.
Tambra and Aikisha are supposed to be friends,
but Tambra has to know by telling us that Aikisha called
us ugly, that she will be stirring up a hornet's nest
and making Aikisha public enemy number one.
I'm the type that I'll call and be like let's do lunch.
I wish I would a gotten a call to say let's do lunch.
That's me. [MUSIC PLAYING]
But we did do dinner, honey.
We did.
We did, and I thought at that dinner
that everything was squashed.
But I heard that it was not.
So yeah.
Everybody's just kikiing and ha ha,
and I don't think anything's funny.
Since Joshy has given me all the tea from the rebirth,
I wanna get to the root of why everybody
had my name on their lips.
I didn't get a really chance to tell
her about the re-birthday as far as talking.
She had already heard some things that Josh had come back
and told her.
He was there.
And I appreciated Josh coming to me because I was not there,
I was not invited, and I'm fine with that, too.
But then I found out you were told that I was shady,
and I was trying to figure out how was I shady.
So let's back it up.
So you and I, we developed something, you know.
You're passionate about Farish Street.
You're doing all these types of things.
I'm like, wow, this is a woman of empowerment.
Now did I hear after that you shady from Tambra?
Yes, I did.
Lateshia, when I say shady, I mean she throws shade,
not shady--
That she's shady and that I need to pay
attention to what she's saying. - Shade.
Shade.
Aikisha and being shady, it doesn't
go in the same sentence.
Shady is being deceitful.
Shady is stabbing people in the back.
I am not shady.
And Tambra-- - Not shady--
Told you that I was shady.
That you shade people.
I think that's where she's confusing.
She feels like--
Yeah, I mean--
You tell somebody somebody shady--
When I say "shady" though--
Tambra can't figure out the difference
between shade and shady.
Girl, it's the same damn thing.
But to say Aikisha is shady, that's a lie.
Yeah.
I don't even want to be put in the category of being shady.
And my thing is this--
nah, Tambra, you've said enough.
When we conversed, it was good.
This is a woman who empowered me, who told me
I love your brunches, I love what you do,
I love everything that you stand for, and it was likewise.
So when we went to the brunch, it could have been anybody.
It could have been the servers because I'm thinking damn.
Aikisha throw shade.
Does she bring dirt under her fingernails?
You see what I'm saying? - Yes.
OK.
I wish you and I would have talked about that
at dinner 'cause for me, you made it seem
like I brought the bad energy.
You must-- you were carrying that before I came in.
No. No, no, no, no.
Now everybody here, did Aikisha come in with bad energy?
If I would a come in and said, ooh, your shoe
is untied, you would have been on me, and that's what it was.
Listen. Give me a second.
I'll listen to you.
Sis, what we doing here?
Aikisha is always playing the victim,
saying slick shady [BLEEP].
I don't know what's up with you, but you need
to take that back to the Bronx.
You're not gonna bring down the sisterhood.
I know when I'm coming for somebody.
When I said something about the plate,
I wasn't throwing shade, sweetheart.
My damn plate is dirty.
But you kept going.
- No, it did not keep going. - Yes, it did.
It changed because of your response.
I fed off of your energy.
You already told us you were feeling some kind of way
before I walked in the door.
Things get heated between Lateshia and me
because she's coming out of her face.
I'm hearing not just lies.
I'm hearing insecurity, and I'm hearing
a little bit of jealousy.
Girl, get away from me.
You're better at this time because I
invited you to this table.
But, sweetheart, and if I'm at this table,
then make sure your goddamn plates are clean.
