Sweet Tea: Love & Hip-Hop ATL Rumors

Since the airing of the show, the tea has spilled and it is sticking everywhere in this hot sun. Here's what's whirling around the rumor mill:
  1. Joseline is partially deaf. If this isn't true I'm just out of excuses for the Merman. 
  2. Stevie J is/was a real life pimp, to Joseline among others. She does sort of have a bottom b*tch relationship with Stebie. 
  3. Ariane and Memphitz used to date. Memphitz recently admitted to dating with Ariane in a recent interview. 
  4. The infamous fight between Stevie J and Scrappy actually stemmed from Joseline  airing out the fact that Scrappy has been secretly trying to get with her.
  5. Stevie J is a major cokehead.   

Thoughts? Which one's do you believe?

R&R: Recaps & Reactions- Ep. 5



More Aftermath: ERICA DIXON & JOSELINE 
Struggle Rows and her see through turtleneck top are out in full effect this episode as she goes to meet up with Erica, as the fight aftermath Saga continues. To my surprise she [Struggle Rows], intends to apologize for her ratchet accusations. Erica is like wayment, You confuse me for some random chick and then pop off? I love how Erica shuts her down once SR starts mentioning Scrappy. Karlie on the other hand would have welcomed that discussion. Erica says, "I still don't like you just off the strength of what you did." And Joso let's Erica know she is a "Growb Woben"! Struggle Rows' conclusion in that maybe Erica is just jealous of her. Riiiiiiiight!

The Emancipation of MiMi
This looks like that scene on Love & Hip-Hop where Emily B sits all melancholy and sad in her new apartment as that dramatic music plays. *insert Mimi* Voila!  "I have had it with Stevie." *zooms in camera* Oh shoot. Sh#t just got real!! She's slowly taking his stuff out the dresser!

I want to know if this is the house he bought for her and their daughter or if this is her house aka their house since he supposedly lives there. And if it is that house he bought for her, is it hers to keep once they break up? Seriously, who is really moving who out at the end of the day? 

Well Mimi starts getting all googly-eyed over a family photo and like clockwork the voice of reason comes knocking, Ariane. "It's only so much I can take... but the bottom line is as long as he keeps f*cking with Joseline, I'm  not f*cking him." Keyword: "As long as". Put the needle on the sad song, because like I called it last week, this smoke blower is ready and willing to take her Beetle back as long as. 
My girl Ariane is singing Sunshine Anderson's "Hear It All Before". I think she just wants some good old non-depressing girl chat. She enlighten's we the viewer,"But Mimi's to blame too. She's always there to welcome him with open arms." UGH! Honestly, Mimi and her "My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy" thoughts need a prescription. 

Then she shows up to his house with 3 boxes in tow. I'm starting to wonder if Stevie actually lived there. Then they agree to go to a therapist. Soooo... she's still giving this relationship a fighting chance. Stevie J is calm the entire time, but that kiss he was about to give her looked like he was about to head butt her. I'm just annoyed that big bad Mimi is crying. 

"I'll Asthma Attack Ya": Lil' SCRAPPY & ERICA & MOMMA DEE
So I guess Scrappy had a heart attack or something and of course Momma Scrap is there for her pup. I really can't take Scrapp's faux suede bed set and I'm wish I could zoom in on that picture hung in the white frame beside his wall... smells like Buckey. Anyway, Scrappy starts recounting his trauma... "So I'm taking the pump." Nooo, not a gun.. A real life asthma pump. Dude is whining about how Erica didn't take him to the hospital. She wouldn't wake up and then got up and went to work, while calling his homeboy to come escort him to the hospital. Somehow I found it hard to believe that Scrappy was undergoing an asthma attack between Erica's snores, snooze button  and shower. If he can go 30min without breathing, perhaps he really is some crossbreed between dog and human. *Sideeye* 2 words: Drama King! It's all good though Scrappy, Momma got you back like chiropract (in my Andre 3000 voice). 

What are those sounds Momma is making?  Emmoyoomayyeeeyeyoo Don't tell me yet another dialect on this shot has emerged. 

Then Scrappy meets up with Maxine from Arthur to gain some sympathy for his attack. He fails to mention that Erica was in the bed with him. How convenient! 

I can't stand these Buckey one-on-ones's where she voices her personal opinion. You have no opinion Maxine and don't you dare call Erica a dummy! The nerve of this bish. But of course she wants to know about them, and then proceeds to ask if Erica knows about ____. I'm assuming their little funny looks that they think have eluded us mean, "Does Erica know we smashed." This heaux is no good! She thinks this is a game, but she lines her lips with burgundy pencil. Why is she throwing up her hands in her one-on-one like she's about to engage in a WorldStarHipHop street fight? I can't take her seriously, even Flavor Flav chucked the deuces on her. Scrappy, what are you doing!?

Well, Erica and Momma meet up, because Momma has a bone to pick since Erica left her son "for daaaaid". 
"When I got to the mercy room..." Erica is so confused she's like this dude doesn't want to deal with me so I called up the people he can stand and went and did what I had to do for me. "Scrappy has asthma, he has asthma attacks." *chuckles* WELP! 

I'm getting nervous, Momma Dee keeps motioning her hands like she is strangling somebody or something.  invisible. The word of the day is "Disattached". That just made me sad. =  ( 

YOU LEFT MY CHILD FOR DAAAAAAAAIDDDDD!!!!!!!!

Scrappy and Erica meet up in reading glasses to discuss his asthma attack, but Erica hits the nail on the head. "You just need something and if that's what you want to use, then it just shows what type of person you really are." Yup! Scrappy is trying to find his out and he is hell bent on exiting stage left now that he's got Maxine lined up. And I can't believe Erica has to go to work every day out of necessity, while Scrappy blows his money in the club. SMH. 

KARLIE REDD vs. Joso
OMG she has the stinkiest walk in those red pants. Can someone teach Karlie the difference between a daytime outfit and a nighttime outfit. Everything about her is saying Night Night N*%$a. But it looks like she finally got to meet up with Stevie. 
"My management is Cash Money." Waaaaaaaait a minute. WHAT? Who over at Cash Money is managing this messy chick. Karlie needs a PR team so she can stop issuing her own statements. Well they come to an agreement and he tells her to get on stage and perform. Well.. she starts chirping  something to the tune of, 
"Louis Prada Gucci, Louis Prada Gucci, Pop them tags, Pop them tags."
Dear Karlie, 
I didn't know you were the long lost member of the OMG Gurlz (sp?) 

Then Karlie looks like she sees a ghost when Joso walks in. Joso is like, "Why wasn't I told this 40 year old has been would be here." All I can say is Joseline got a lot of Sugar Honey Ice Tea. Once I decipher what shes saying, she throws so many shots. Its hilarious: "Whah do she doob?", "Wit dis 40 yr ow", "Just be sayxsee if you don't know how to dance." 

What I find funny is how Stevie just found out she was being managed by Cash Money (which I really can't even believe) and now all of a sudden, Cash Money "asked them to do a record together." #LiesSociopathsTell

Beetle and Joso are really going back in forth in front of Tropical Stank Walk, who still hasn't said a thing. 
Joso: "Where you come in at? Okay well she can be with deb... No no I'm not doing that.. Okay well I don't need to background dancers." Then Stevie busts out a never before seen face, as he says, "Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute... I need you to do dis." Dude rises up out his chair like he is about to pimp slap poor Joso. "This is about a business, so you put your emotions to the side."

Joso: "Why don't she do a song with Nicki Minaj since she down with Cash Money? Why she gotta do a song with me." This is starting to sound like a younger daughter being told by her father that her older sister has to escort her to the playground everyday. Karlie is SOOOOOOOoOoo desperate. Then Joso starts spilling crocodile tears. 

Wait why is Benzino waiting in the back of that music venue like he's picking up his stripper home girl after work? Sketchy. He looks like a toad. "There was a vibe, there was a connection.. Right away, I feel.. I felt it." OMG b*itch please! I can't deal with her and her vibes. Ms. Cleo you really irk my soul. She is really smitten over this no-neck toad. What happened to Aaron Reid? 

K. MICHELLE & co. 
I guess Mimi decided to take K Michelle up on her offer for some girl chat. They exchange tea over toe jobs. Neither can seem to figure out why Joso is so upset. "Why are you mad?"... "Because we can't tell if she a man or a woman. I would be mad too." K Michelle honey you are funty!! LMBO. "She got to take that up with Jesus and not you."

So K Michelle speaks on her beef with Karlie Redd, who always seems to bring drama with her. "This tropical bird," go on K! I could not have said that one better myself. I'm dying! "She's too old for that senior citizens should not act like that." Wait how old is Tropical Bird? Anyway, K convinces Mimi to set up a hash out sesh between the two, so they can confront her. K has a Tami streak in her not to be f*cked with. Tropical B better be ready to flap it. 

The she later meets up with Rasheeda and Erica, somewhere in a park beside the road, in vibrant beach chairs for some girl chat over Pinkberry. K is like wait you have to teach him what? 

Then she hits up the restaurant for her hash session with Karlie. I don't know what Mimi is wearing or doing, but she looks like a character from The Wiz. Tropic Thunder walks in and K automatically starts throwing shade. "Girl you look like you is fixin ta go to a red carpet on the grammy's but the Knockoff one.".. "I will never trust a woman with a rhinestone snake around her neck." I live! I say this every time about her late outfits. Mimi cuts to the chase. I love how Karlie tries to mispronounce Ariane's name and K gives her the bish please you know her name. But no seriously is Karlie 40, because she looks really good for her age?  Karlie can't get a word in edgewise so she starts wiggling sh*t.
"Oooooohhhhh *does spirit finger* this b*tch is shaking the table." 
This by far was one of the funniest quotes of this episode.  
LMBO
"Dont shake unless you ready to get SHOOK." 


"YOU HAVE NO RECEIPTS! You f*^#ing everybody in the industry and you have no receipts." Oh shoot! #TeaTime! I really can't refute K's claims, because Karlie lost all credibility with me when she showed up with LA Reid's obese knockoff in episode one. But wait, run that back? Karlie has K Michelle on tape? She is such a rat. It's so funny pausing the television to see everyone in the restaurant's head turn.
"Every time I see you. Every time I see you. Every time I see you. Every time I see you." This sounds like hook to one of Karlie's struggle songs. Hey, might be a hit compared to that teenie bopper song she was singing. I'm going to just assume something really good was edited out, because K. Michelle is yelling about being from Memphis, Karlie has a HUGE lump on her forehead and she's crying. Well in the word's of K. Michelle, "Maybe she won't shake a table no mo'..."Karlie has really sank to all time lows this week. Recording people, getting beat up, stealing songs from teenagers and let's not forget... Benzino... 
*sigh* 


I'm just glad someone finally called her out for the antics she pulls.

Can you use that in a sentence please?!


The last Mermishman...  


So clearly some people on this show are from tribes that speak an entirely different dialect than the rest of we Americans, and when I say Americans I mean everyone here in America- Latino, Asian, European and African alike. How is it that we can all understand each other? It's because Joceline is from a land "Under the Sea", population: 1. What the heck is this merman trying to say that makes it sound like she is trying to communicate under water?! When on land with humans, sometimes things just geeet... lost in translation. I put together a list of mermisms from the Mermish language, because it just so happens, I hold a minor in Mermish:


 *clears throat*
 “Stebie gay me so much more den u dink he jus wawnta f$#k on me. He just aaaybbythin to me. It’s not abouw deh sayx."
 “Ebby bobby dink she a bayyd b*sh, he gewt awl de b*shes, ih not weeby abowe Steebie geddin in my pans. U kno what um sayin, I wahn Steevie foreber.” 
"We kees on dep liyp." 
"“The haaaayl iz u talkin abouwww?” 




 Ironically enough, "She Sells Seashells by the Seashore." is not mermish.

Joseline Hernandez acting a fool with her stiff stale cakes on replay


Fill in the blank or just blankstare. 

Erica clears the air about Scrappy putting dem paws on Stevie & more...


For anyone wondering why the fight from Episode 4 seemed edited, IT WAS. Erica Dixon called into New York radio station's Power 105.1 to clear the air with the breakfast club. According to Erica, the actual fight was edited out, because the footage of Scrappy putting "dem paws" on Stevie, could have threatened his probation.  The fight actually started when Joceline attacked Erica, who then acted in self defense. Everything else that ensued was caused by Joceline instigating the entire thing... I knew it. SMH. Joso sit down. You and Mike Tyson go bite and scratch in the bedroom, and leave your sexual frustration at home next time you go out in public.

Bonus Clips: Stevie Threatens to expose Mimi & also take custody of their daughter


In case you thought the scene where Mimi has had enough was intense, watch the entire thing and listen carefully to what these two are saying. Mimi calls Joseline a prostitute and Stevie J a coke head. 

R&R: Recaps & Reactions- Ep. 4

I immediately learned something new this episode, and that's that I've been pronouncing Ariane's name wrong. According to K. Michelle, it's pronounced more like Air-ean & I was saying Ah-re-on. Good to know. 

MiMi's THERAPY SESSION 
K. Michelle wants tea and tea is what she gets. Mimi fills K. Michelle on her love triangle with Joso. She gets all fake-mad as usual. K. Michelle offers encouraging words. Dr. Ariane tells her to know when to walk away.  Mimi has another revelation "I'm not no woman scorned, I'm none of that. I just want to move on. I'm done." Where have I heard this before?
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
*hits snooze button until the next alarm*

MOMMA DEE
Momma Scrap visits her newly single son. She asks him if Erica knows he's single, and of course, he's just single of the mind and body, while he pretends Erica holds his heart. Momma says, "I know you and Shay go out from time to time with her pretty self. They say best friends make good wives." Umm this would all make sense if the Shay she is referring to wasn't Buckey on VH1s original muckery of a show, "The Flavor of Love." What is Momma Dee on? But forget all of that, once she finds out some dude named Stevie J called Erica out her name, she opens drama's door. 

"You teach this person that he is never to disrespect the Prince of the South... Go at him. Make him answer. Check him." More uh wise words from Momma Scrap. 

JOCELINE 
Joso went to the clinic and cuts to the chase, " If we not gonna be together.. We not having no sayx..." 
Stevie says, "I'm celibate." Oh shoot. This dude is bold. So he didn't even go to the clinic with her and all he did was make her some breakfast?!!!! These crocodile tears. "Awl I want from Stebie ihs da trufe." Joso wants to be loved to bad, she falls right into his trap, and all Stevie wants is to make money off of her. 



When Stevie J drops in on her at the dance studio, this chic is worming her body like a 12 year old who is sneaking some "older girl" moves in her room. Joso's not wearing her favorite accessory, but I'm starting to wonder if plaits are making a comeback in the South. Is this an ATL this or a bamma thing? We the people need to comprehend. Anyway, I'm not sure any Spanish speaking person understands anything in that song. Mermish is an archaic language only known to the last known living creature, Joseline Hernandez.  I die when Stevie gives her a motivational pimp speech -some yang about them being like Bonnie and Clyde, and she cheeses so hard, "Like ohh my gaaaaa he said I'm his Bonnie."

"Just sampling the product." *Stevie face* 
*worms body*


ERICA & SCRAPPY
Erica has no idea that Scrappy has not one, but TWO feet out the door. Scrappy really needs to be more up front. The lies and deception is just disrespectful.


Then he goes to meet up with his "BFF" Shay "Buckey" Johnson. She's in a bathing suit and heels. As he's telling her the story, all she seems to get out of it is, "But that's your baby mamma but not your girlfriend.. But you sticking up for her cause that's yo' babymama." I hate the way she says "baybeh mo-ma" all fast. That really means, "fool don't come over here telling me about some other chic unless yal not together. You mine now." 


Bish you scheming and I'm onto you. 
TEAM ERICA!! -If I'm allowed to be corny for 2.5.

"A lot of you may know me as Buckey, from Flavor of Love & Charm School, but you can call me Shay Johnson." Ummmmmm correction, you ARE and will ALWAYS be Buckey, and that's what I will always call you, unless you prefer Maxine from Arthur or Berenstain Bear. What's up with that two digit wig? Hairlines like that don't run over $99.


Is he pouring lotion on her? What did I say, she is a scheme-er.. Like she doesn't want a booty rub. "Let's just go inside." Now what was the point of rubbing suntan lotion on you for that splotchy tan you were about to have if you aren't even going to lay in the sun? This is why you will forever be Buckey -your antics don't fool America.


RASHEEDA
I spy a cliche reality television romantic dinner scene, but this time it wasn't on a rooftop. Zah Zah Zah Zzzzz




MiMi FAUST & STEVIE J
Mimi is breathing hard, looking like somebody's bodyguard with her nostrils flared up -She's ready to blow more smoke, no fire.
Mimi: "You never came to my defense or anything. You gon let this b*tch sit there and f*^&^#ng call me out my name."
Stevie: "Come on ma... I, I'm not tryna argue... I'm not tryna scream. How can we fix this?"


Hilarious! I can't even quote all of that... just pure comedy. Stevie J has the most controlled blood pressure of any being on this planet. And he's wearing a vest with no shirt on. He's wearing a vest... With no shirt on!


Now listen to Mimi when she talks. See between the smoke. In her mind she's still giving him an ultimatum. The day Stevie dogs Joso and professes his love for her, again, remember these backpeddling claims:  
"I hope you're happy with that b*#^#". Ummm, no you're not!.. "If you don't want to make s*^# right..." "If that's what Stevie chooses to do then..." 


Anyway why is Benzino on this episode and why is Stevie still wearing his sweater vest... with no shirt on?


If they say MONOGAMOUS one more time... o.O *passes the ninja please award* 


THE FIGHT!
Finally! The reason I watch reality TV. Another classic fight scene for the books. Stevie's apology goes something like, "If I called you a b*tch I wanted to apologize." Dude is a psychopath. Does he ever take responsibility? What does he mean IF? Some apology. Scrappy is in Don mode, and Joso starts speaking Mermish again, and I'm not underwater to understand: "Waymen wa ih da pwah-lub? Dih yal fuuuh? So wata pwah-leb?" Seriously why is she talking? This is one of those "this is between men, fall back" moments or simpler, "You are my side chic, stop speaking." But no, she thinks she heard of Stevie messing with some woman. She's concocted one of those insecure female stories. Someone tell me when it was okay for side chicks to confront other possible side chicks. 

It all goes downhill from there. Joso is doing a split in the grass grabbing for her "man" and charging at people barefoot once security started slipping. Stevie is biting Scrappy on the shoulder. There is a lot of edited commotion, and it seems like Mike Tyson is more mad at Joso than he is at Scrappy. Its like when a child embarrasses their parent and the parent defends them, but you know the child is about to get it once they get home. To what extent, I cannot call, but Mike Tyson seems like he's attempted to knock back Joso's Adam's apple more than once.  

Scrappy the Don reminds Grammy winning Stevie, "Ain't nobody getting a check in the A now." Riiiiiight. Won't these fools all just get in the car and go home. That's the only thing smart any of them have said this entire scene. 

THE AFTERMATH:
Mimi is recapping the events that lead up to "The fight" but was a deaf mute while her "man" stood there and disrespected Erica. Run that back. Then they form an anti-Joso pact. 

Beetle visits Joso for breakfast -more hypocrisy. These two, lol. Stevie basically tells her stay out his business, he will handle it on his own time, because Joso made him look like the woman. Tah! I won't disagree to that. 


Until next week...
