Finally, after 16 episodes of tiring episodes, the first part of the reunion finally aired this past Monday. Irrelevant host Nina Parker introduced the cast who were present during the taping. Because Erica Mena now thinks she’s holier than thou now that she is engaged to Bow Wow (also known as Shad Moss), she refused to show up to the reunion. Instead, she carried a one on one session with Mona Scott-Young, executive producer. She claims that there is “no reason to give these people another 15 minutes of fame”, or to give them a storyline (which was completely incomprehensible because apart from Cyn Santana, no one really spoke about her.
Erica/Cyn
The first topic was the Erica and Cyn “real” relationship. We get a recap of what went down during the season, from the uncontroversial kiss with Bow Wow, to Erica Mena licking Champagne off of girl’s intimate parts. They continued with Cyn’s alleged meeting with Dyckman dude (also known as Ray), and finished it off with her and her relationship with the has-been rapper Bow Wow, also known as Shad Moss. Cyn stated that she was surprised by the fast relationship and engagement that Erica had with Bow Wow. Erica, during her interview, explained that the kiss (which no one cared about) with Bow Wow was actually supposed to be interrupted, and that because she had a life outside of Erica, she decided to kiss him. She really was out there acting like she was Beyonce cheating on Jay Z with Usher or something. Cyn Finally took her breasts in her hands and stood up for herself, although she did confirm what everyone thought: Erica took the first pretty girl on the show because she had no storyline without Rich Dollaz.
Yandy/Mandeeces
This segment was absolutely irrelevant, so I skipped most of it. On stage were Yandy, Mandeecees, Kim (also known as King Kong), Judy and Samantha. They recapped everything from Mandeecees (which I will now name M) coming out from jail, to him telling her that her son, Omere was in the hospital, ending up in her baby shower/name change/commitment/not a wedding party. They touched on Yandy saying that her job more important than M’s job (which I ABSOLUTELY think is true). The Omere storyline became irrelevant that they had to have Tara comment about it. The main topic of discussion was who would have custody of Little M. Samantha wanted to have full custody, and they were fighting about who took care of little M while Big M was in jail. Samantha was mad because big M implied that she was a deadbeat mother, ending in King Kong having a fit of rage. Again, it became so irrelevant that they had to have a hashtag battle to keep hope alive.
Jhonni Blaze/Rich Dollaz/Precious P/Strawberry
During this segment, they recapped everything from Jhonni and Rich finally meeting up again, to them screwing in an Olive Garden bathroom, to him rejecting her love and denying their relationship. The host touched on her exposing his phone number and his “alleged” pictures. They asked Rich (No) Dollaz about the relationship that they had, to which he denied them ever having a relationship, and he wanted it to be strictly business. Jhonni explained that the reason she fell (and still falls) for him is that when her boyfriend past away, Rich was the first one to comfort her. Somehow, that led to her falling in love. I honestly was questioning life at that moment.
When asked about Rich Dollaz’s non-existing management skills, Precious P explained that he should have done more than he did and that she was a priority to him. To save face, Rich made it clear that she wasn’t his client to begin with (even though he said that he lost 2 artists in a day). Jhonni calls him out on not being able to screw Paris hence why he didn’t manage her, then proceeds to apologize to Precious P. Somehow she related that to kissing Ms. Cindy Lou Who (Diamond Strawberry), calls her out on calling her daughter a dog, calls her father a crackhead. Ms. Dog Trainer wanted to look all bad and decided to go for Cisco Rosado ( who is still stuck in the 2000s with his Phat Farm outfit). He reminded her that he was the reason she was on the show to begin with.
Chrissy and Chink Santana
Although I make fun of her style every episode, I must say “alleged” ex-Madam/model manager/professional side chick Chrissy should keep that bob wig sacred, along with her Go Naked hair Spanish wave wigs. They recap their tumultuous relationship, from him revealing that he didn’t divorce his wife, to her getting off of birth control and wanting a relationship, to them finally breaking up. Chrissy finally admits that she should not have rushed the relationship the way she did, but she felt disrespected because she could not get out of her side chick by publicly being seen by Chink’s friends and family, as well as not knowing where he lives (probably because he still lives with his wife and children). Chink responded, saying that he did not understand why she was mad because she knew the situation she was put in, so if there was an issue nothing stopped her from finding another person with whom she started a family with. He did, however, say that he was mad at the fact that their relationship affected their friendship, and Chrissy stated that with a divorce, she would go back to him.
When asked about their history of her “allegedly” pimping her out, Erica Mena denied all allegations, stating that had she been an escort, she would have put it in her elementary, 65 page book, and it would have sold another 2 more copies (not her words, but come on!!). She then stated that her and Chrissy do not know each other (which ended up being false after she posted pictures on her Instagram of them taking pictures at her home) and that the whole point of her holding a grudge was to have a storyline on a show. She then continued saying she was worthless and to “get into a position where she can buy a burger without selling her behind” and going in on the fact that she could not have a child ( which I believe, but I do not know her history, nor do I know her medical issues)
Diamond/Cisco/Lisa (Diamond’s mother)/Maggie (Cisco’s Mother)
So we recap Diamond and Cisco’s ratchet, Jerry Springer/Maury worthy relationship, including Cisco leaving Diamond with a complete stranger, Diamond admitting that her child is not actually a dog, Cisco admitting that he had a child outside of their relationship and Cisco admitting that he never loved her. When asked the question that EVERYONE was wondering (why leave your child across the country for a man), Diamond explained that Cisco wanted her to move to New York, but it all changed once he saw her.
So my question is this: now that you’re ready to move to New York, you didn’t think it was a good idea to mention your child then? I digress.
Cisco responded, saying he had no idea she was going to move to New York to begin with. A fan asked her how she could call her daughter a dog, to which the mother wanted to back-track that statement, because she wanted to find a way to make her daughter seem less crazy. She explained that not once did she call her daughter a dog, but she did omit information. Diamond continues, saying that she had to rewind the tape. Even Cisco admitted to have misunderstood. Being as intelligent as she is, she DID forget to watch her Vlad TV interview, where she said that the number one regret she had on the show was calling her daughter a dog. Somehow, Erica Mena had a comment… Like we care. Jhonni then proceeds to tell her that her breasts sag like that of the grandmother from the nutty professor.
When asked about why they ended up together, Cisco explained that he was in a rough place, with his brother being murdered (Cyn gets emotional and then leaves). Lisa then gives her opinion about the situation, saying that she didn’t want her daughter to leave her life at home to go find a man. She then continues by saying that no one will attack her daughter (see Diamond, THAT’S how you take care of a child). When asked about the way Cisco treated Diamond, Maggie admitted to not being the best mother to Cisco, but questioned the reasoning behind Diamond leaving her child to go find a man. Diamond, showing how amazing of a mother she was, proceeded to say that she only saw her daughter twice a month. Yeah… Seeing your man more than your flesh means nothing when you see your dog/child twice a month.
Cyn finally comes back and explains that the relationship started off because they connected from the deaths of their brothers.
Rich/Diamond/Jhonni Blaze
So we recap the situation between Rich and Diamond, from Rich telling Cisco he was attracted to Diamond, to Cisco not giving him the right to touch his now ex girlfriend, to the infamous scene of their alleged encounter in the Olive Garden bathroom (because, you know… a car is too unclassy), where Diamond asked for the mics to be cut off. When asked about what happened in the bathroom, Diamond obviously denied anything happened. Jhonni somehow felt obligated to put her 2 cents in the conversation, saying that because she was on all fours in a dirty bathroom, it was possible that Diamond screwed Rich. Leave it to Mona Scott-Young, however, to be the messiest of them all, as the microphones previously ordered to be turned off ended up staying on, recording the conversation that happened in the bathroom!
Stay tuned for next episode, where during the final part of the reunion, we finally get to hear the recording between Diamond and Rich, see the altercation with Jhonni and Diamond, and other goodies that we didn’t get to see in this reunion part 1!
