KIRA: I'm so excited to see Laurieann back.
LAURIEANN: Well, the group pace this week is very near and dear
to my heart.
It's contemporary.
And it's called Q.
ASHLEE: Which is the LGBT questioning, which
is a transgender person who is questioning their identity.
LAURIEANN: I'm utilizing their fight to inspire our fight.
I've thought about it very long and hard.
Minis and Maesi, you guys will not be in the group piece,
only because I don't have very much time.
And this is a very serious subject matter.
ASHLEE: Yolanda and Stacey are losing their minds that we're
doing a group dance where the subject matter is too
mature for their kids.
So their kids aren't going to be in the dance.
What's going on?
Uh-huh.
Your daughter had a really good conversation with me.
So Elli will be in the piece.
ASHLEE: That causes disruption and a fight
like I have never seen, as long as I've been here.
Next time I'll have Lilli screaming in the corner.
YOLANDA: OK.
A, she was not crying.
STACEY: And I heard Elli say to you,
"Mom, just tell me exactly what to say."
[gasps]
STACEY: She said, "Mom, just tell me exactly what to say."
That is a quote. - That is absolutely--
[interposing voices] You know what?
STACEY: Yes, it is. You're a liar!
This is her real story.
You're a liar.
She is a liar.
That's why I am so upset.
You're lying.
What are you talking about?
You're insane!
You are literally insane!
Did you or did you not hear your daughter say, just tell me
what to say? - No.
Liar! YOLANDA: This is her real story.
You're a liar!
YOLANDA: This is her real story.
Lying through her teeth!
Laurieann, this was not to get in the dance.
This was actually to bring closure
to what she was feeling.
But do you hear how cuckoo for cocoa pebble pops you sound?
They're saying that she said to you,
"Mom, just tell me what to say."
That is not fly.
ASHLEE: Laurieann, I know you have to go.
So thank you for coming, and I apologize for us.
HOLLY: Thank you! LAURIEANN: Tomorrow.
HOLLY: We'll see you tomorrow! - Tomorrow, girls.
Tomorrow. Stay in the fight!
Tomorrow is a new day!
LAURIEANN: All right.
Oh, my-- oh, my god!
Well, that was a pretty low move.
You're a big liar.
Really? STACEY: Such a liar.
Mm, interesting.
STACEY: No one believes you.
Interesting.
I don't believe you. STACEY: You don't--
And you have a doctorate.
STACEY: --but everybody else does.
That's scary.
I feel so sorry for your patients.
I'm not really worried about your assessment of me.
And I don't deal with dissociative identity disorder
in my practice.
Oh, wow.
Oh, we just got diagnosed.
You're just a bitch.
At least some only one bitch.
You're, like, three bitches, all your different personalities.
[laughter] - Oh, wow.
With all your personalities, I got to call you, like,
bitch one, two, three.
[laughter]
HOLLY: Will the real one please stand up.
[laughter]
YOLANDA: I can't take this anymore.
I am tired of being mocked.
This is supposed to be a team.
I feel like I'm all alone.
I just want my child to dance, and I want some support
from people who are supposed to be teammates.
I don't want to be here anymore.
What?
Mom?
Mom.
- Here. - They're not.
Look.
I'll walk away.
LILLI: Look.
I'll sit here and share.
I don't care.
KIRA: Oh, well, she's leaving.
STACEY: Wait.
She's leaving?
STACEY: Yolanda?
I swear, I'm going to kill somebody.
I want to go out there, too, but I'm
going to watch the kids.
[inaudible] you allowed her to do that?
[inaudible]
You allowed her to do that?
Hey!
Hey! Hey!
Hey! - Call the police!
Seriously?
- Call the police! - Seriously?
Call the police-- - You stay away from me!
- --right now! - You stay away from me!
I'm calling 911.
YOLANDA: You do it! STACEY: [inaudible]
YOLANDA: You do it!
STACEY: She just attacked me.
She literally went to my neck.
You are going to jail!
Go away!
Revel in it.
LAURIEANN: Girls, can we please get in the zone?
Because we need to finish.
And one, two, three.
Yesterday, I heard that Yolanda leaped at Stacey.
And I'm just like, wait.
What?
Oh, no, honey.
This has got to stop now.
This is crazy.
So that whole drama yesterday is obviously
permeating this atmosphere.
It's just ridiculous because nothing else matters the day
before the performance.
Hello.
Good morning.
STACEY: Good morning.
Mornings, babies.
Are you all right?
STACEY: Before we even, like, get into any of that--
Mm-hmm.
--I wanted to, like, apologize for how I came off yesterday.
I accept your apology.
ASHLEE: Are you going in?
LAURIEANN: Yes, she is.
You are.
We're a tribe.
STACEY: But, like, how do I allow somebody to assault me--
LAURIEANN: Yes.
--and then walk back into a building?
CAMILLE: What happened?
Let-- let me just say this.
We have a competition.
You need to go in there like a grown ass woman,
and you need to have a quick conversation with her.
Oh, I'm not.
LAURIEANN: And you need to-- no, no no.
No. She assaulted me.
LAURIEANN: Hear me out. Hear me out.
STACEY: It's battery.
Hear me out.
We need to put this thing to bed.
You need to rise high and show your daughter how to recover.
She's unstable and violent.
I-- I don't have to make up with someone who physically attacked
me. LAURIEANN: No.
We have to make up.
It's a safety issue, though.
We have to make up.
This is the business.
ASHLEE: Do you want to just-- we can deal with this.
I'm not going anywhere.
Because I'm not going to do is have this [bleep]
happening on my watch.
Because all of this is sprinkling to everybody's
child.
So you need to come inside now.
I'm just-- I'm, like--
I'm the one-- why is it my responsibility?
LAURIEANN: Because you got to rise higher.
She attacked me. She att-
Why is it anybody's responsibility?
STACEY: Why doesn't she have to rise higher?
She's, like, a criminal now.
Let's go.
Let's all walk in together for your child!
(CRYING) I can't!
She freaking choked me!
LAURIEANN: Girl.
Yeah. Let's go in.
If she needs a minute to decide what she's going to do,
then give her a minute.
LAURIEANN: No I'm-- I'm really bugging out.
Do you know what I'm saying?
Like, dry your-- that's disrespectful, to me.
I agree.
LAURIEANN: This is all of you.
This is-- I can't separate it.
And I will get in my car before I allow that to be
a reflection of who I am.
I'm a professional.
For me, on my watch, I want y'all to know this is not cool.
Drama and fighting and passion--
all these things are part of it.
But you know what I'm saying.
We have to still win through it all.
This group of women, they have no respect, no understanding
of true authority.
This tribe, this team--
it's almost like it's infested.
It's sick.
And we need to transition out of this.
Do You know what I do feel and that I do know?
I do know that what happened between Stacey and Yolanda
had a very heavy affect on me.
That was definitely something I didn't expect that I would have
to deal with.
I'm here to deliver number one, A list superstars.
That means something to me.
With Abby not being here, abandoning you guys,
I just need to know what's at stake for me.
Because I don't want to waste my time.
I just want all of us to be accountable for that.
Not me, y'all.
I need a very grown woman commitment from Stacey
and Yolanda, that we are-- and I need you to acknowledge each
other, as well--
that we are done.
I tried.
I apologized and I real-- and I really meant it.
I'm past it, and I--
we keep having to rehash.
And I just want to move forward.
LAURIEANN: As a result of what happened between Stacey
and Yolanda, I was really perplexed and questioning
if I wanted to be here.
You know what I'm saying?
Well, I personally wouldn't want
to have what happened between Stacey
and myself to effect this--
this entire time.
Honestly, I would rather leave respectfully
than to have this continue where it's going to affect having you
leave.
LAURIEANN: Well, we're not even talking about that anymore.
Because, apparently, you guys put it to bed.
Yolanda, you want to be a part of this.
And then you say that [bleep] and it makes us look bad.
It makes you look bad.
Stop feeling-- having everybody feel sorry for you.
YOLANDA: It's because of, like, all of this.
Like, now it's just everybody's come down on me.
Yeah.
Because you said stupid [bleep]!
Oh, my god.
Everybody's come down on me.
[music playing]
Y'all are killing me.
You guys pissed me off this week.
This is why I'm an emotional wreck!
I want to stay committed to the process.
But right now, mm-mm.
It's too much division, too much separation,
too much unanswered questions.
I don't know whether or not I continue with this team
and with these mothers.
What's the deal with the strangler?
Well, Yolanda had a situation a few years ago with Stacey.
And--
She strangled her.
Tried to.
YOLANDA: I pushed her back, and I never placed my arms
around her neck.
STACEY: There's pictures and video, Yolanda.
YOLANDA: Yeah, exactly. There are pictures and video!
STACEY: There's pictures and video.
So I can Google that?
And there's no threat--
yes, you can Google it.
Let me Google that.
You can search it by Yolanda chokes--
Yeah.
--Stacey.
YOLANDA: And let's see Lilli, how she goes and she lies.
So let's watch the whole thing.
Listen to how calmly I speak.
I never yelled in her face.
Talked calmly, got my stuff, and left.
You called me a bitch, I called you three!
Hey! Hey!
Call the police!
And right there, within one second, I pushed her back.
It can't be reacting.
No!
Go back and see how Lilli said, "Mom, she yelled in my face."
You still looked crazy, and we just all watched the video.
YOLANDA: I did not yell!
[muffled yelling]
ABBY: Can we-- can we just--
you know what?
We're not continuing this duet.
I'm not doing it.
We're not doing any more work on this duet.
Because she can't act like that when Sarah's in here busting
her butt, you're in here busting her butt.
I'm watching it all for her kid, and she's sitting up there
mouthing off like that in my studio?
Go.
Gone.
Maybe you'll have a duet, maybe you won't.
Go.
I have no idea what-- what's happening with the duet.
Hey, Hey. MICHELLE: Hi, guys.
What's happening with the duet?
So said it's ridiculous that I'm in there busting my butt
and Gianna is in there busting her butt for her kid,
and she's being crazy.
Go back down and tell Abby-- SARAH: No.
--that I'm defending myself against--
I'm not going in there and getting in trouble.
YOLANDA: --somebody who is absolutely psycho.
I'm not going in there getting in trouble.
Wait. No.
OK.
Well, you don't have to but I will.
Sarah's delivering a message.
So we don't know if it's going to happen or not,
so now I'm going to get to get screamed at because she's going
down to Abby.
Abby, I'm going to tell you right now that you're saying
that I'm psycho-- - Excuse me.
No. I'm sorry.
Excuse me!
I'm just telling you, they're having me--
There are four people working right here.
That's fine. That's fine.
No, it's not fine.
But don't say that I'm up there being psycho.
- They all are. - I said, why are we--
I am not going to sit here and rehash--
--one, two, three, four people--
Abby, I'm not going to sit here and rehash--
--working our butts off because your kid's not here?
And my kid wants to be here.
She wants to be here and she can't.
I'm defending myself up there, and I will not rehash something
that happened two years ago.
I won't do it.
Don't interrupt rehearsal again.
It's not your kid you're screwing up.
You already screwed your kid up.
YOLANDA: I didn't screw my kid up!
ABBY: Yes, you did!
- That is rude! - Yes, you did!
YOLANDA: That is rude!
I'm done with this.
[music playing]
She's the only person I've ever met that literally goes
directly after a child.
ALICIA: I think it's just funny that her excuse is because she
lied.
I don't give a [bleep] if she lied or not.
MICHELLE: Is Ellianna ready to go on stage?
Well, her costume's on.
Her makeup's done.
MICHELLE: I know.
But it seems like you're still going over a lot of stuff.
She's not on trial.
Elli's not on trial. ABBY: No.
She is on trial.
It's supposed to be the judge and the accused.
Oh, I know something we can judge.
Stacey, come on up here.
You are the plaintiff.
Yolanda, come on.
You're the defendant.
I am going to put this strangling issue to rest, once
and for all.
You have 30 seconds to plead your case.
Do you need a Bible, Miss Abby?
Do we need to swear in the truth?
ABBY: Oh, my god. Ann, do you have a Bible?
ANN: I have a Bible.
MICHELLE: Of course, you carry a Bible, Ann.
Do you solemnly swear to tell the truth?
YOLANDA: I do.
I do.
[music playing]
She can't.
Go.
I have never choked her.
I pushed her back.
Her daughter lied and said that I was screaming in her face.
I just calmly talked to my daughter to say, please, get
your stuff-- - Time!
YOLANDA: --and let's go and leave.
We have a witness.
I did say that you yelled at me,
but I'm not going to say that you calmly told me
that I bullied--
I said, Lilli, it's OK to say--
Eh! Eh!
You had your 30 seconds! - It's not OK to lie.
Do not talk to my kid!
You had your 30 seconds!
You are eight years old.
Do not speak to my child!
Even if you are eight years old--
even if you are eight years old--
Yolanda, do not talk to my child--
- Don't you-- - Ever!
- I can do whatever-- - Don't talk to my child.
I can do whatever I want to do.
Get out of my face. YOLANDA: No.
All right! Let's stop!
STACEY: You're not allowed to talk to her.
ABBY: This was supposed to bury the hatchet
and put this behind us.
And it was supposed to be fun.
My courtroom it's not going to be a place for this behavior.
I'm holding them all in contempt.
