AMBER ROSE: So we're just leaving LA.
We're on our way to the airport to go to Philly.
I'm Amber Rose.
I'm here to help my friend Tina.
We grew up in South Philly together,
and she's addicted to heroin and crack.
I am a model.
I'm a philanthropist.
I'm an actress.
And I'm an entrepreneur.
But fame, money, none of that matters when
someone's addicted to drugs.
I can buy a rehab center for Tina,
but she has to want to go.
I don't think I could fix people.
And that's why I wanted to reach out to "Intervention."
I really don't know how I feel right now.
Like, I'm excited to go and hope for the best, but I don't know.
I just hope she says yes to going away and getting help.
So I guess we'll just have to wait and see.
[music playing]
Tina is missing somewhere in Kensington.
And I know that she moves around a lot,
so I'm going to hire a private investigator to find her.
Kensington is a jungle.
There's a lot of guns, violence, and there's a lot of drugs.
I can't believe my friend is out there right now.
I was very young, and I used to tell Tina,
I'm moving to Hollywood, I'm going to be famous.
And she was like, well, I'm going to have babies.
Ultimately, she wanted to be a mom.
I used to tell Tina, like, Tin, let's go.
Let's get out of here.
All my friends were on drugs.
Tina was not on drugs at the time.
Growing up, I was surrounded by heroin and crack.
Not from my mother, but within my immediate family.
I just didn't want to do it.
I saw what it did to people.
I chose to look at that and take a different route.
I got on the train one day to New York, probably 19 years
old, found a little apartment, started dancing out there,
and I just--
I just knew that I didn't want to be here anymore.
Then she had Latina, her daughter.
I said, OK, you got your baby.
Let's get the hell up out of here.
And she just wanted different.
[music playing]
[phone ringing]
Hey, Kevin. KEVIN: Hey, Amber.
What's going on?
KEVIN: Well, I found Tina.
Oh, wow. OK.
Where is she?
KEVIN: So she's living at a house.
I confirmed that she is there with her boyfriend.
OK.
There's no way we can get to her there.
KEVIN: No.
Definitely not.
I definitely don't want anybody to put
themselves or her in jeopardy.
AMBER ROSE: Is it possible for me to get
her, like, a place to stay?
Or like, maybe I can rent something?
KEVIN: I think, for safety reasons,
that would be the best thing.
OK.
OK, let me start working on that,
and then I guess I'll call you back.
KEVIN: OK.
I'll keep you posted.
KEVIN: Sounds good, Amber.
AMBER ROSE: Thank you so much, Kevin.
So hopefully, they find her and then bring her to the Airbnb
so we can go through this intervention.
That's the most important thing.
[music playing]
Hi, babe.
How are you?
How you doing?
It's been so long.
It was amazing seeing Lanyah.
She's grown so much.
She's so beautiful and smart.
Oh my god.
Hi, babe.
- Hey. - Hi.
Hi, guys. Hi.
How are you?
How's everybody doing?
Good, how are you?
- I'm Michael, by the way. - Hi.
- Nice to meet you, Michael. - Little stressed?
Little nervous?
Yeah?
Why?
I don't think, like, anybody has
gotten my mom to, like, you know,
stop doing what she's doing.
And I want her to be able to do it just
because she wants to do it.
Well, what is the biggest thing that you think
is blocking her from another chance at life?
LANYAH: I think it's she doesn't have the mindset that she wants
to get clean, that she wants to live a good life,
so she's not going to do that, because she doesn't--
I can't.
That's why I said I didn't want to talk about this.
MICHAEL GONZALES: I know it hurts.
But the more information that I have,
the better I'm going to be able to help her.
AMBER ROSE: Before your mom got on drugs, I was there,
and she loved you guys so much.
She put you guys to bed every night.
She fed you guys.
It's not-- this is not your mom.
It's the drugs.
Y'all got to know that.
And that's why we're doing this.
Having family members that are on drugs,
sometimes you really do become numb to it.
And you can still tell that Lanyah really loves her mom.
MICHAEL GONZALES: And she doesn't
have a significant other during all of this?
Her boyfriend is a good person.
He doesn't, you know, beat on her
or make her give him her money or anything.
AMBER ROSE: Them being young girls, because he's not beating
her, because she's not giving him the money,
they think that that's a good person.
So this morning, I was told that Tina's boyfriend,
he wants a pretty face to smoke crack with.
And that's the honest to God truth.
He feeds her drugs.
He makes a lot of money.
And he doesn't let her out of his sight.
Well, what I hear you saying right now
is he's a sugar daddy. - Yes.
MICHAEL GONZALES: And just because he's not
beating her doesn't mean that-- you know,
he doesn't need to be around her.
You know, the severity of this intervention is huge.
[music playing]
Today is the intervention.
I'm excited.
My mom's finally going to hear everything
we have to say and know that everybody's here for her.
And we're here for you, too.
Thank you.
We have essentially a gift for you.
We want you to go to California, too,
and go somewhere to deal with the trauma
that you've been through.
I think it's a great idea.
MICHAEL GONZALES: And we can leave today.
We want to help you. It's set up perfectly.
It has nothing to do with anything other
than dealing with trauma and getting past all this stuff.
AMBER ROSE: I would take it, girl.
Thank you.
Yes?
Yes.
I'm so happy.
Now let's get your mom and your sister on the same page,
too, right? AMBER ROSE: Yep.
MICHAEL GONZALES: That's the goal.
[music playing]
Tina, are you going to go with me to get my haircut?
Tina?
Hi, baby.
Oh my God.
How are you?
Hug me, babe.
[sobbing]
It's OK, babe.
I know. It's OK.
I love you.
I love you, too.
I missed you so much.
I want my sister back.
[sobbing]
I'm glad to see you, though.
Me, too.
This is my friend, Mike.
TINA: Hi, Mike. How are you?
MICHAEL GONZALES: I'm really grateful that you're
even willing to talk.
And like, I mean, I do, I want to get clean.
You know what else?
She's also going.
My baby.
And she's getting some help today, too.
I love you, baby.
I love you, too.
And all you have to do is say yes.
Do I have to leave, like, right now, though?
AMBER ROSE: Yes.
I want to call my boyfriend, like what's going on and stuff.
We can do all of that in the car.
Are you saying yes?
I mean, of course I'm going to take the opportunity.
I don't-- I don't have insurance to do anything.
MICHAEL GONZALES: You don't need to worry about any of that.
Your whole life is changing today.
[interposing voices]
LANYAH: So you're going to go?
Yeah, I'm going to go.
But I've got to go right now.
LANYAH: I know.
Are you crying?
LANYAH: No.
MICHAEL GONZALES: Can I talk to her?
Lanyah, we're also offering you help
for your trauma, the stuff that's
been going on with your family.
LANYAH: I can't go.
Ny, listen to me, right?
LANYAH: No, no, you listen to me, Mom.
They're trying to separate us.
Put us on a plane and separate us.
MICHAEL GONZALES: No, we're not. That's not what we're doing.
They're not, babe.
She's scared--
It's OK.
--because of everything that they've been through.
I need to pee really big.
[phone ringing]
AMBER ROSE: I need you to be a big girl, Lanyah.
No one's trying to separate you guys.
We would never do that.
I'm serious, babe.
It's detrimental.
You know what that means?
Can we get Amber up here?
PRODUCER: Yeah.
AMBER ROSE: She said yes, that she wanted to go,
but she said she had to go pee.
And I knew what it was.
She started texting her boyfriend.
And I've got to be honest with you, I literally hate his guts.
MICHAEL GONZALES: Talk to me.
How do we make this right?
Like, I don't know.
I just-- I don't like the way things went down.
I just don't like it.
I'm a grown-ass woman.
I make my own [bleep] decisions.
What the [bleep] if my daughter dies while I'm out there?
I did it with my mother, Amber.
I lost my mother, and I was arguing.
I didn't tell her--
Your kids are going to lose you.
MICHAEL GONZALES: There's really no reason for this, Tina.
In the process of her coming outside and walking
down the street, she was in communications
with her boyfriend.
She wanted him to come get her.
Where is the [bleep] car?
I don't like being lied to.
AMBER ROSE: Tina!
Where are you at?
Where?
'Cause I'm under the L. Please, I want to get the [bleep]
out of here before I [bleep] go ballistic.
MICHAEL GONZALES: Tina, can we stop this?
Where's the [bleep] car?
AMBER ROSE: She's gonna die.
She's going to die, bro.
[screaming]
MICHAEL GONZALES: Her boyfriend showed up.
She got in the car, and so did Lanyah.
[music playing]
[horn blaring]
[music playing]
LATINA: Before I came here, I was, like,
always miserable and angry.
And like, now I am happy.
[giggling]
Hi.
How are you, babe?
LATINA: Oak Forest is helping me figure myself out.
I'm learning how to accept people being there,
and not pushing people away.
How's everything been?
It's been good.
Like, I've been in like a more positive mindset.
It feels good to have, like, people
you could, like, rely on.
MAN: Latina's doing really well.
This girl, when she got here, extremely resistant.
And today, she loves being supported by this community
and she's putting in the work.
I'm happy to see you smiling.
She absolutely wanted a different life.
She knew that there was something wrong.
She knew that that's not where she was supposed to be.
And then she's out here.
She's happy.
She doesn't want to go back to Philly.
She doesn't want that life anymore.
It's a beautiful thing.
LATINA: I'm happy I did it.
Me, too.
Thank you for believing in me.
I love you so much.
