-What's up, girl? -What's up?
-How you doing? -I'm good.
Cold out? Where your coat at?
I got on a sweater.
Girl, you showing all that skin.
What's going on?
-Arms? -Yeah, there's too much skin.
Listen, listen, let me tell you something.
You don't talk about no skin.
You don't ever invite me to another doggone
shoot like that.
Hey, I just needed to ogle.
I decided to pop in on my longtime friend Martell
because he knows Melody best.
So, navigating this crazy time that we're in
maybe he can give me some positive insight.
Listen, you got. Did you get everything
in the divorce?
I gave you and Melody that.
-What? The cheese cutter. -Yeah.
Oh, you my girl. So it's definitely coming
with me.
[both laugh]
Actually she said you take this.
This is from your friends.
-Nah, you lying. -Oh, she said that.
She said you take this, this is from your friends.
Wow.
I said you damn right.
Interesting.
When's the last time you talked to Mel?
Um...
-Her and I had coffee. -Oh, really?
Yeah, and that was a... that didn't go too well.
-Seriously? -It was real interesting
because she said
you're friends with my ex Martell
and Tisha and, you know, you, you and Martell's
talking on the phone every day.
I said, you know, good and damn well
I don't talk to Martell
-every day. -Right.
She was, like, well, I just feel like you should
have cut him off.
I said so should I ask all the friends that I have
that are mutual.
She is something else trying to chop...
She's trying to turn everybody against me.
Like, if y'all wanna listen to--
But, that's so high school, I mean 'cause I can't ask you
to not be friends with people for my situation.
It's not even right, though.
I've been knowing Destiny for how many years?
-It don't make sense. -[bleep] man.
And don't talk to anybody that I ever dealt with.
It's impossible and it's unfair to ask.
But, that's what she do though.
She's done it to many other people.
Whatever Melody's problem is, she really needs
to stop trying
to turn everybody against me.
Destiny has been my friend way longer than
she's been Melody's friend.
And I'm not sure if they even have a real relationship.
So, my thing is, Melody needs to figure things out.
We're divorced, and she needs to just move on with her life.
And stop trying to ruin mine.
And then she ran like she always does
-instead of really facing-- -Hold on, so
she stormed off?
Uh-huh. And I said run like you always do.
When she don't hear some [bleep] like, she gone.
And you know about people how I rolled for her
even telling you how wrong you were.
She cheated on me years ago, but they only hear about me.
You always want to tit for tat,
Mel wrong, I'm wrong.
Double standard, make your mind up,
what it's gonna be.
How is that a double standard? Are you the man
in the household?
Be the example and be the leader.
-Okay. -Let whomever be the fool
and act crazy. Don't, don't match it
if you feel like that's what they doing.
I told you you were wrong then for coming at me like that.
You were being a good friend for her, you were.
We did go through a lot together, we experienced
as women, divorce,
and, you know, for her that was a whole life.
-Yeah. -For me, it was, it was
a moment.
-Still was meaningful, though, you know?
-Absolutely.
-Yeah. -And we both leaned on
each other every day
-throughout the process. -Yeah.
So, to be on the other side of, like, I've even had
a moment
where I couldn't even pick up and call and, like,
share and, like, lean on her.
And then, you know, moving back to Huntsville,
that was one of my girls, you know, that I had here.
Yeah.
-I mean, it is what it is. -Yeah.
As I've said before, I have a very small
village here
and I'm doing this all by myself.
And Melody was a part of that, small part of that
and it's sad that she's chosen for it
to be the way that it is now.
-It's just weird. -You know what,
she... I'll be real, I wish she had a better heart though.
You shouldn't treat people the way she's treating people,
you know what I'm saying? I know we all go through
our ups and downs.
But still at the end of the day,
you don't try to really hurt people.
I don't know.
I did say, you know, friendships are a lifetime
or a season
and our season is just up.
So...
and that was her choice.
Well, hopefully y'all can mend this [bleep] back together.
