You know they stole my money.
Ain't nobody
stole your money.
Girl, you know they did!
You know they did!
You sit here acting

Take the cameras off!
What we got to talk
about is my mama.
And I'm not doing this
in front of everybody.
- Your mama?
- I'm not doing this.
Our mother.
We're looking at doing
the show in the next month.
We want to still have
top billing.
You all wanna be paid
more than us.
We gonna pass.
I ain't.....ing opening up
for no mother.....ing body.
I sold
30 million records, b*tch.
Let's not get into the...
this co-headlining.
No, we're...co-headliner, man.
Let's just leave it
at co-headliner.
Tocha is so funny, speaking
on behalf of the group.
I've never had
the opportunity to have
a real label behind me,
and so this is just exciting.
I'm signing my contract today.
Where is Tocha?
So she's not coming
to rehearsal?
- No.
- So is she coming to the show?
She's definitely treating us
like she's Gladys Knight
and we the Pips.

Hey.

- Nothing.
I would like to get with you.
We haven't really said
anything or spoken.
Okay.
It's about that time.
Yeah, it is.
It's very important for me
to make things right
with my sister
because I'm just so ready
for us to be back
sisters again.
She came to sound check
in Orlando,
and I'm glad that she did.
I miss my sister.
And us not talking
for these many weeks
is starting to be stressful.
I'm in the studio today,

Oh.
You look cute.
Thank you, darling.
I like that.
I like that.
Mm-hmm.
What's up?
Not much.
What's going on with you?
I had a conversation
with your mother, our mother.
- How did that go?
- It went well.
I brought you here today.
You said I disrespected you.
And I'm sorry
for disrespecting you.
I'm sorry.
I gave her an apology
for cussing in her house,
and she accepted.
You're my baby girl.
You always will be.
I love you.
What happened?
Like how did we even get here?
I don't know.
'Cause this is crazy.
It is.
Three months of us
not speaking is crazy.
And that's both of our fault.
At the end of the day,
everybody gotta be
held accountable.
- That is...
both of us should be held
accountable for it.
I said everybody.
I'm not talking...
I didn't point the finger.
I said everybody.
That means all of us.
I'm agreeing.
We in agreeance.
Okay.
Both of us said things,
you know, that was hurtful.
People say things
all the time.
You said things, too,
but I'm not holding on to it.
Anyway, I'm just here
trying to figure out
where's your head.
What's next?
We're gonna figure
this thing out.
We want our sisterhood back.
Sisterhood is important.
We gotta get that back.
We done been down
before, down before.
And we got back up
stronger together.
Family is everything,
at the end of the day.
When my sister and I
were growing up
and our dad decided to leave,
it was just the three of us.
And we made it through,
even through the roughest
of the times.
And the money was low,
but we found a way
to get through it.
Nobody else was around,
three amigos.
My mom knew, as long
as we stuck together,
we can get over anything.
As long as I got my sister,
I'm good.
But we gotta get back to that.
Yup.
We gonna get it right.
You done messed up my session.
Girl, you already finished.
- No, I...
- I...
Can I get a hug?
I'm always gonna love
my sister.
I'm always gonna be here
for my sister.
I would never want anything
to happen to either one of us.
And we can get it
together as sisters.
We are family.
My eyebrows still on?
[laughs]
- Your hair hiding it.
- I cannot.
Go on, go girl.
You got me crying off
my eyebrows.
They all the way

Yeah, you already started me.
I'm good.
- All right, baby.

Well, at least you got

Oh, I did that.

you put a whole bunch

[laughing]
Wait, speaking of sex,
what's up with your book?
It's going good,
but you know what?
I never thought it was so hard
to write like, erotica.
It's very hard.
- Why is it hard?
Your imagination just have
to be out of this world.
You need to read
"Fifty Shades of Grey."
After I read the books,
I told Eddie,
go get everything, every toy,
and we're gonna try 'em all.
- Yeah.
- Are you serious?
Good Lord, yes, I did.
[laughing]
I can see LeLee
writing an erotica book.
She's always been
very creative.
And she's so nasty.
She doesn't think so.
She likes to say it's me,
but it's not.
Well, we need to jump
into some conversations
about what's going on
with these people
we working with.
I'm thinking
we should end the show
with the biggest song on all
of our playlists, "Weak."
We ending it
with "Understanding."
"Weak" is like
three million...
- So what...
- "Weak" is the biggest song.
- So what would you suggest?
- "Weak."
No.
It's not about the records
right now, boo...
Yes, it is.
It's about who's gonna sell
them seats.
Kandi and Tiny has precedence
because they've been doing
more things outside of music
which helps sell those seats.
We ain't gonna be
no sidekick.
She told me that basically,
we're not relevant,
that they have
a bunch of followers
and we don't have
a million together.
She ain't relevant.
I hope...
Did you tell her
that Kandi and Tiny's a*s
is for her to kiss, not ours?
Yeah, well, I did,
but I didn't tell her that.
Did you tell her
we had a well-oiled machine
before they even decided
to get back together?
Yeah.
And it's gonna continue
to stay oiled.
I hope you were not punked.
Oh no, she did not punk me.
Okay, okay.
SWV to date,
we sell more records.
Just because you feel
like you're more relevant
does not take away
our contributions
to what we've done.
Aw,.....ing hell,
I can't talk to y'all
no more.
I'm hungry.
I don't even know
if I can eat.
I'm mad like a mother.....er.
By the way, what song was
they trying to say
need to go before "Weak"?
- "Understanding."

We don't need but two days.
But the vibe was good.
I'm just hoping
that we're gonna be able
to count on her to do the show,
you know what I'm saying?
She did say she was gonna do
this one show.
But you know,
because she didn't show up
to the last rehearsal,
I just don't know.
You know what I'm saying?
We just trying to...
you know,
'cause we got a booking
without her that's coming up.
So you know...
- What?
She wasn't available.
She wasn't available.
- And y'all took it?
- So we don't know
if she'll be available
for this show.
If I can be
all the way honest,
it just feels like, you know,
when we're at a high
and you feel
like you don't need us,
you're ready to go.
First of all, Tocha
not showing to rehearsal
really had Kandi hot.
The crazy thing is,
Kandi tried to warn me.
She's like, "If I put my all
into this, I come back
and...you know, knowing
that I don't need it,
"you don't need it, I feel
like she's just gonna use me
"until she doesn't need me anymore

Look at it, she was right.
'Cause guess what, baby?
- What, baby?

Hi, lucky ladies.
Hi, welcome
to Lucky Lady.
I got a treat for you.
This is my grandpuppy.
Her name is Justice.
Oh, my goodness.
Hey, Justice.
- Hey, sista hot puppy.
So we're getting
the VIP treatment today?
She always VIP.
She needs to be sexy.
You wanna be sexy for grandma?
Justice is my grandpuppy.
She is my daughter's daughter.
We do have

Uh, yeah, you know.
Oh, okay.
She's away working

Hi, Justice.
It's okay.

Wait, this needs to be
a little warmer
'cause, you know,
she's like really, you know...
Oh, my God.
My sister used to be
my primary babysitter
at the peak of my career
with SWV.
All right, you ready?
But she looks good.
Oh, she's like,
"My grandma is doing this?"
Being a single mom is tough.
Like you don't wake up
one day and be like,
"I want to have two kids
and raise your kids
by yourself."
I think whether
you're on the road
or you work a 9:00-to-5:00,
it's still tough.
It's still time away
from your children.
The only difference is,
I was gone
sometimes weeks at a time.
You gotta make sure
you get back there, mama,
and make sure
she doesn't smell.
I'm gonna let you
get back there.
[laughing]
Do I really feel
like it was worth it?
It's bittersweet for me today.
Even today, like,
I struggle with the fact
that, man, had I been
more present all the time,
most of the time, then maybe
this wouldn't have happened,
maybe that wouldn't
have happened.
I'll take it to the back,
and I'll go ahead
and get her dry.
It was a sacrifice for me.
But you gotta provide
for your kids, you know,
by any means necessary.
Hoo, I can't do
this dog stuff.
So I met with Tiny.
Mm-hmm.
So now we at the stage
where we're doing...
we're trying to figure out
the wardrobe.
Xscape is kind of risqué.
We don't do that.
We'll give you a little sexy,
but we not gonna do
the Apollonia 6 thing.
Maybe dead.
I mean, if you see Apollonia 6,
they very sexy.
I'd be too scared that
something gonna fall out
or pop out, you know?
But...
So how are we
figuring out wardrobe
if we can't figure out if
we gonna be on stage or not?
Girl, at this point,
we just kind of seeing
what's gonna happen.
And I hope that
we can really come together
and just do the thing
the right way, you know?
But hopefully...
Like, I feel like they feel
like they better than us.
And it shouldn't be.
Like where's the competition?
We are stamped and approved.
We've had our career
before, you know,
they even decided
to get together.
Our songs are fire.
So if you want us
to go on first, second,
it doesn't.....ing matter.
We're gonna do
what we need to do.
- Sad.
- Yeah.
So we'll see.
- Ah, well.
We will see.

What's up, Steve?
Same old, same old.
I just need to get
this set list finalized
and approved by both of y'all.
- Oh, okay.
Yeah, that's kind of
the standstill right now.
Steven is a graphics guy.
Hell if I know
why he's doing the set list.
Behind us on the big...
what you call it?
- The LED wall.
- The LED wall,
it'll be different graphics.
Can y'all see that?
Uh-huh.
I don't know Steven.
That's their people.
So here's the list as it is.
We start with "I'm So Into You"
by SWV.
We're not.
- Okay.
- Okay.
So we're starting with
"Anything, The Remix," by SWV.
- Okay.
- Yep.
So then we're gonna go
into "Tonight" with Xscape
and then "Rain" with SWV.
And gonna go from "Rain"
into "You're Always
On My Mind,"
by SWV.
From there, we'll transition...
That's ugly.
You think that's ugly?
- Mm-hmm.
- Oh God.
You don't think
that'd be a good transition?
It got a little bit more tempo,
but it's still kind of,
like, slow.
Yeah.
Go ahead.
From there, we're gonna do
"Who Can I Run To?"
with Xscape.
After that, Xscape stays
and does "Do You Want To?"
Ooh, this is real slow.
- [laughs]
- This is sleepy.
Real you, please show
your true colors.
This difficult stuff
that she's doing right now,
this is the real her.
All that other stuff, like
"Oh, we're not with the drama,
we're not..."
And so after that, we're
gonna do "You're the One"
and "Can We" by SWV.
Okay.
With Xscape,
"Feel So Good,"
"Right Here" SWV.
"Just Kick It," with Xscape.
And we gonna end
with "Weak," "Understanding."
You don't think we should
"Understanding," then "Weak"?
I mean,
we don't agree with it.
We do.
"Weak" is the biggest song.
They really wanna headline,
so they're trying to put
"Understanding" last
so, you know, it could seem
like "We're the headliners,"
you know?
That's that petty sh...
Like, I don't have
time for that.
It doesn't really matter
what y'all think
'cause we still not
gonna change our minds.
So at this point, I don't know
what's gonna happen.
Okay, so how do
we figure it out?
I don't know.
The group is not
gonna be doing it.
[laughs] Okay.
- Coming up...
- We spending way too much time
arguing about a.....ing song.
It's becoming bigger
than what it is.

So we're gonna see
the stylist
and see what all
he's got together
with, you know, our clothing
and stuff.
The only thing
I was thinking about,
like, it'd be nice if it had
some more rhinestones
or something.
Yeah, so what
I told him to do,
maybe he can do black
and rhinestones.
- Right.
- Everybody's gonna be there
because he's supposed
to be talking to us
about everybody's outfits
and what he sees.
So that's what...
I was just wondering
because I thought they said
they didn't really dress up
like that for their shows.
Well, they don't.
An SWV show,
from what I've gathered,
they usually wear
their '90s look,
leather jerseys
and combat boots and whatever,
how they do it.
You know, we used to dress
like the '90s too.
But you know, we in 2023,
you know what I'm saying?
We getting a little sexy.
We in our grown woman sh...
I'm just hoping
he can capture our essence.
I want to walk away feeling
like, "Oh, he got it."
Yeah.
And how the people
do drawings,
and it never looks like that.
Yeah, right.
And you see that stuff
on Instagram.
- Yeah, but like...
- And they like, $68.
This is what I ordered,
this is what I got.
[laughing]
Jay, what you feel
like we should be wearing?
I think whatever he does,
it needs to be catered
to y'all's individual style.
- True.
- Exactly.
Oh, but hold up, sir.
From what I understand,
you've made up your mind.
What were you planning
to do this fall?
Go back to school.
[both cheering and laughing]
- Look at that.
- Yay!
What made you decide
to do that?
I wish that I would have gone
to college
and done other stuff.
- Yeah.
I never got a chance
to go to college.
My brother didn't go
to college.
You know, I know I keep hitting
you in the head about school,
but I just feel
like it's important.
Because you know,
I dropped out in the 10th grade
and I didn't get the chance
to go to college.
I felt like I would regret
not going back.
- See?
- So I'm going back.
And I didn't want to be behind.
I didn't want to be behind.
It's very important
for Jay to go to college
and get his degree.
It's something that,
you know, I don't really wish
that I could have done,
but it sounds nice.
I need to be able to get
veneers when you're done.
And you can sing to your
patients to put them down.
That's what I said,
the singing dentist,
there you go.
- Yes.
Oh, my God, we're almost
at the finish line,
though, honey.
- Girl.
- How do you feel like,
performing with SWV?
- I love it.
You like
performing with them?
Yeah, I love
performing with SWV.
Yeah, what about Xscape?
Yuck, not so much.
Talking to Kandi,
she said, "No disrespect."
The moment somebody
tells me no disrespect...
No disrespect, right?
You getting ready
to disrespect me, b*tch.
You about to disrespect me.
- "We love y'all, but..."
- Well...
I can't even say I love y'all.
- [laughs]
From my last conversation
with Coko the other day,
like, they sound like they
don't even wanna do this show
if we don't allow them
to have the last performance.
What happens if they say,
"We're not budging"?
That's what I'm saying.
So then what happens?
That's what
I really wanna know.
Well, it just won't be
no show then.
Right.
Oh, whoa,
there's no looking back ♪
♪ Takes a hero
♪ To pave the way
Corey, look who's here.
Oh, hi.
Hello, hello,
how are you doing?
I'm good.
How are you, Kandi?
- Good.
- Nice to see you.
- How you doing?
- How are you?
Good.
This is
my boyfriend/assistant.
- How you doing?
- Hey, Kandi.
Okay, assistant.
How you doing?
Just working, ladies.
Corey Boi is a designer
that we used for our tour,
the one we did in 2017.
So he designed us
a few outfits.
He does design
stripper outfits
and stuff like that.
But it look good though.
- What's up?
- How y'all doing?
Good to see y'all.
Let me get hugs.
Y'all know how I do.
Hello.
Hey, what's going on?
Hey, I'm
in the right place today.
Ah!
LeLee is...
she's running a little late.
So we can just go ahead
and get started.
I have Jayye with me.
This is like
my little personal stylist.
- Hi, Jalen.
- Let's do this.
First, we're gonna pass out
all the sketches to you ladies.
This is just what
I wanna show you
what I came up with, okay?
All of your garments
will come with rhinestones.
So we can go
through the garments,
we can go through
the color schemes,
and figure out
what it is you like
and what you don't like
and then go from there, okay?
- All right.
- Hi.
Hey!
Welcome!
- She made it.
- Hi!
What's going on?
Welcome.
Hi.
Thank you.
I was expecting
to see, like, real,
like clothes,
like maybe a custom jacket
or custom jumpsuit.
But when you walk in there,
it looks like Magic City.
Check out this right here.
- Who that for?
- You.
They want you to wear this.
I ain't got
no t*tties for this.
It really looks
like it's a playground
for all strippers in Atlanta.
Okay, so what is
your individual styles?
I just want something
sexy, form fitting.
I mean, you know
my personality.
I do, you fine with it. So...
- So whatever you feel.
- Yeah.
- Snatched and lifted.
- Yes.
Snatched and lifted.
I want to be snatched, too.
I like stylish
and comfortable.
'Cause I like to move.
- You like to move?
I gotta be able to bend down.
I want to kick my leg up
and you not see my trap queen.
And my t*tties will drop,
so I like
to make sure they're secure.
I need straps.
Got it.
Got it.
Because they will go left.
We don't want them
to do that.
No.
No.
And last but not least.
- Sexy. Sexy.
- Diana Ross is gonna need
her own style outside of ours.
- Sexy.
- Yes, baby.
Let me tell you, the last show
we did, I'm sorry.
The last show we did,
Diana Ross here
came with a whole new outfit.
Coming up...
The bottom line is,
I refuse to be around anybody
who's gonna downgrade us
because of some followers
and a.....ing piano
in the dressing room.
Piano in the dressing room?
[percussive music]
And last but not least.
- Sexy. Sexy.
- Diana Ross is gonna need
her own style outside of ours.
- Sexy.
- Yes, baby.
Let me tell you,
the last show we did,
Diana Ross here
came with a whole new outfit.
[laughs]
Normally, as a group,
we have the same stylist.
But lately, things for me
have not been right.
I said, "You know what?
I'm gonna get me
another stylist."
And it's been working for me.
Sexy, chic, but very classy.
Okay.
So whatever, Diana Ross...
we already know who she is.
Thank you.
All right, well,
let's get this fit.
- Come on.
- I's ready.
Now, of course,
when I do make this,
it does go down an inch.
Oh, gosh, I can't breathe.
Can I breathe?
You got it all tight.
Loosen that sh... up.
I'm sorry.
Don't tell no...don't tell
nobody what my size is.
31.
I just said
don't tell no one.
Me neither.
[laughing]
And you got these, la,
cha, cha, cha, cha, cha.
See, I'm flat.
You paid good money
for that tummy.
- I sure did.
- Oh, what?
[laughing]
All right, everybody got
sized and measured?
I got my size.
So what are we doing?
We doing different colors
or the same color?
What's the colors y'all want?
What's y'all favorite?
I like that blue.
That blue look good.
- Black.
- Okay, she wants black.
It can't be all black
on stage though.
- No?
- Well, okay.
I like the black and silver.
All right, who says
black and silver?
Everybody raise your hand,
black and silver.
Oh, y'all want blue?
- Black and silver.
No, I was thinking
white and silver.
Black and silver
or white and silver?
One or the other, okay.
All right.
Corey, do you think
you definitely gonna be able
to make it happen
in this timeline?
Yes, I can.
We need this done,
like, pronto.
We don't have much time.
That means the music
has to be done and be right.
Basically, the last
we spoke or whatever,
I know that y'all felt
that y'all wanted to end.
- Right.
- Mm-hmm.
Obviously, we felt
the same way.
So...
Because now, people
are working...
- Well...
- On clothes
and choreography, you know.
We went
to the rehearsal hall.
We were discussing how
I thought "Weak" was
a stronger song to end with.
I'm thinking we should end
the show with the biggest song
on all of our playlists.
"Weak" is like
3 million strong.
What is that?
What...
- "Weak."
- No.
Why did you say
it was strong?
"Weak" is the strongest song.
It's 3 million records strong.
I felt like it should end
'cause it's the strongest song.
I mean, at the end
of the day,
it's like, y'all saying that...
Hold on, hold on, we were
talking about numbers.
- Yeah, yeah.
- Let's get it straight.
We're talking
about followers...
Yeah, because I'm trying
to understand...
- And numbers.
- She brought up the fact
that we only have a million...
not even a million combined.
You don't think
we should be here?
You think y'all should be here?
If I can accept
that Kandi and Tiny
has precedence over me...
- We don't.
- Y'all need to do the same.
Oh, hell no, we don't.
They have millions.
Y'all don't even have
a million together.
We did out-sell
"Understanding."
There's no discrepancy in that.
But right now,
in this climate,
it's about how many followers
you have.
Xscape has more followers
than SWV,
especially Tiny and Kandi.
Those followers
that they got,
honey, they should be
90 million records sold
right now.
We don't have a problem
giving that respect.
Like, we come into this sh...
We know that.
We know our.....ing position.
But the bottom line is,
I refuse to be
around anybody
who's gonna downgrade us...
- Nobody's downgrading.
- Because of some.....ing
followers.
No, no, no, no, no, no, listen,
because of some followers
and a.....ing piano
in the dressing room.
- Piano in the dressing room?
- I'm saying...
That's what she said
about you.
How y'all used to doing
the dressing room?
We're all together.
Y'all not all together?
- Y'all together?
- Yeah, we a group.
- Girl, bye.
Mm-mm, my group,
they bougie, honey.
What do y'all do?
Tiny has to have a piano
in her dressing room.
- Stop.
- No, for real.
We're not sold out
and stuck
on this
industry Hollywood sh...
That's not SWV.
If we wanted that sh...,
we can have it.
Trust me.
But that ain't who we are.
Y'all feel the same way.
Y'all feel like it should be
y'all at the end.
We feel like it should be
us at the end.
So ain't nobody saying
nothing no different.
Our show is definitely
a bigger production.
They're not
like Michael Jackson level
or J.Lo level,
but they up.
You know, they look good.
We got LED screens from top...
from floor to bottom.
We got dancers.
We got props.
We don't just get on stage
and just sing our songs.
You know, we don't wear flats,
and we don't wear overalls
on stage and stuff like that.
But I don't wanna toot
our horn,
but I mean, yeah,
it's night and day.
We're spending
way too much time
arguing about a.....ing song.
It doesn't make sense.
Let's do something...
If it didn't matter to y'all,
then why you standing on it?
If it don't make
sense, then why...yeah.
Then why don't y'all do...
I didn't say
it didn't matter to us.
I'm just...sh..., I just
started talking about it.
Like, I mean, it's becoming
bigger than what it is.
Like, this is getting on
my mother.....ing nerves.
If they want to do they show,
let them do they show.
Don't say that though.
- And then we just do our sh...
- But nobody said that.
- I'm saying it now.
- No, no, nobody said...
So y'all can do y'all stuff.
- This is you saying it.
- It is me saying it.
- And why are you saying it?
- You hear me, right?
Because that's
what I feel like right now.
So the super group is
going out the window?
It been going out the window.
Good.
That's good to know.
Good.
I guess egos are
involved right now.
But a ego can get
your a*s kicked.
It's becoming
too much right now.
We can't even agree
on what we're doing.
So you're suggesting
y'all do y'all set...
- You hear me.
- And we do our set.
Yeah.
If that's what you want,
it's been suggested.
Like, we're not children.
"We'll do our thing,
you'll do your thing."
We're not...
who said you was a child?
But that's how you're acting.
And how are you acting?
- That's how you're acting.
- How are you acting?
To say "We'll do ours,
y'all do y'all's."
Come on, we're not
even saying that.
Because she's frustrated
at this point.
This is the dumbest,
stupidest sh... ever, man.
[sighs]
Girl groups.
Welcome to the world
of the girls.
I'm over it.
I'm over it.
No, seriously, I wanna...
I don't want this.
This is not...
I didn't sign up for this.
[laughs]
It's always some sh..., man.
Can't we just get
through the one show?
Can we get through this?

What's going on?
So I'm glad you got here.
Yeah, I know we need to,
since the last time,
we ain't got together.
Today we gotta get
to the nitty gritty.
Who wants to start?
Start out with what?
Whatever.
One of the promoters
that we work with a lot
dropped a b*mb on us,
okay, with receipts.
And you know I love a receipt.
So I guess a while ago,
Tamika had already said
that she wanted us all
to have a conversation
to talk with promoters.
And there's a lot of stuff
that we found out
that was just not right.
Yeah.
Your husband, he's been
dealing with a promoter,
and he's been getting
a kickback.
[tense music]
♪
Ain't nobody been getting
no kickback from no promoter.
He's been getting a kickback.
He has not been getting
no kickback, Tamika.
He's been getting a kickback.
The promoter sent copies
of the text messages.
He sent a copy of one
of the payments he made.
Okay.
Text messages from what?
Hold on, everybody's
gonna get a copy.
We about to have
a business meeting.
♪
What is this?
So y'all believe
text messages?
No, the text messages
are between Rocky
and the promoter.
That's how iPhone texts look.
Okay.
He says, "We still good
on our deals"...
What is he talking about?
"For these five shows?
"I explained to my wife
that you were my guy,
"so can you sh**t me 20," 20K.
"I just showed her
you already sent me 10K.
I will look out for you,
but I need all four ladies."
That's from the promoter.
♪
Basically, Rocky was working
with the promoter
for Tocha to get us on board
to agree to do
that promoter's shows,
and in turn,
he was giving Rocky
a kickback
or an extra fee
on top of whatever
he was paying us.
And Rocky replies,
"I'm with you.
"That's why I'm showing her
that you got me.
Because she is the one who is
gonna make all them listen."
And you guys are trying
to say that these screenshots
came from Rocky and the guy?
- Yeah, that's his number.
- That's what...
It's his number.
Yeah, but this makes
no sense whatsoever.
Proof, he got proof.
He ain't got
no reason to lie.
I shouldn't have to worry
about kickback
within our own...
So basically, are you
saying that I done that?
But that's your husband.
Yeah,
but I haven't done that.
- Y'all are one.
- But the text says...
- And the text...
- The text says...
Said that he was speaking
with you about it.
Here's the thing:
any money that's going out
should be laid on the table.
Everybody should know about it.
- Every dime.
I think that's where
all the issue lies.
At the end of the day,
you believe
that these are the screenshots
from my husband to the guy?
It's his phone number.
Okay.
