'Black Ink Crew Chicago' Episode 7: Kat Addresses The Men At The Shop"

Photo byGoogle

On this week's episode of  'Black Ink Crew Chicago'   Danielle and Charmaine both revealed a secret. Phor finds out bad news about his absent father. Kat gets into a heated argument with Van and Ryan. Don gets Ashley to let him come back home.

In the wake of Kat going to the tattoo convention in New York the fellas were still upset with the fact that she didn't support the shop by using 9Mag instead of Kat the Tat. While they were in their feelings Kat was feeling good about her accomplishments as a tattoo artist.

No matter how many times Don denies having sex with Charmaine she continues to accept his text messages and sexual advances. Charmaine revealed to Danielle that Don was all over her after he disrespected her and treated her like trash in New York. Danielle also revealed a secret when she tole Charmaine that she and Ryan kissed after a drunken night. 

Phor and Don went to Mississippi to see Phor's father who was in a coma. He didn't know his father very well so he told him how he felt about his absence. Without a response from the father explaining why he wasn't there Phor still felt he got the closure he needed.

Meanwhile Don showed Ashley how sorry he was and how much he wanted to come home to his family. There were rose petals on the floor and he gave her roses. Ashley took Don back but how long will it last?

After being gone for days from the shop Kat returned with an attitude. She didn't like the things she heard from Danielle and she addressed it. First it was Kat and Van in a screaming match and then Ryan had his say. Kat was left defending herself.  She was mad because Phor didn't have her back but where was Danielle and Charmaine?

During the argument Kat called Ryan a b***h several times which only made things worse.  As Ryan was trying to explain that their relationship was more than a business, Kat wasn't trying to hear it. She wanted them to understand that she had her own thing going on and they will either support her or not.

Things ended on a sour note between Ryan and Kat. She threatened to leave the shop since Ryan made it clear that they will only be about business  from now on. Will Kat leave the 9Mag?

'Love & Hip Hop New York' Season 6 Premiere: "Young B Joins Gwinin Fest Cypher"

Photos By Google

Monday on the premiere of 'Love & Hip Hop New York' season six Peter wakes up in Tara's bed. Rashida introduced her new job title as a music manager. Yandy showed interest in a new female artist. Rapper Papoose showed his wife Remy Ma just how much he had her back.

On the last reunion of 'Love & Hip Hop New York' it appeared that both Tara and Amina were done with Peter but apparently there's still a love triangle going on. Not only did Peter talk Amina into allowing him to move Tara in the same condo they reside in but they are still intimate with each other. Peter woke up in Tara's bed. He didn't tell Amina the truth about where she was nor did he tell Tara he and Amina were still together. What is it going to take for them to leave Peter alone and just co-parent? His love for Tara seems to be deeper than his love for Amina who should just go her way, be with her ex and forget about being married to Peter.

Remy Ma who rocked the mic after serving six years in prison for assault is ready to get back into the game. Her husband rapper Papoose made sure his wife didn't do anything to cause her to go back to prison. While she and Rah Ali aka Rashida were talking Papoose entered the club to get his wife. Remy Ma felt like she was being controlled by Pap like she was controlled in prison. Later on Pap surprised Remy by taking her to a castle where they will have an official wedding. He also got down on one knee and proposed to her. Pap just wants his wife to stay on guard and don't get caught up in doing anything that could jeopardize her parole. Way to go Papoose!

DJ Self put together what he called the Gwinin Fest Cypher which consisted of Moe and Lexi of the duo group BBOD (Bad B*****s On Deck), Young B featured on the single "Chicken Noodle Soup" and Mariah Lynn.

BBOD spit first. Mariah Lynn spit second and Young B kicked her verse last. Young B had the best flow. Her wordplay was intense. She definitely shut it down and she don't even have a record out on the radio yet. After the show Moe shared a few words with Young B and she stood her ground. As it turns out she and Moe got into a fight five years ago which caused Moe to get 15 stitches in her head. Young B reminded Moe what she's capable of. She never backed down. Yandy wasn't too impressed with Young B's behavior but some things you just can't avoid when it's in your face!

When it was all said and done Yandy was ready to get back into business as a  music manager. She was also getting prepared to deal with her husband Mendeecees who was about to serve 8 years in prison. Yandy will be left alone raising three children while her husband is away. 

Yandy brought up the idea of moving into a bigger place but because of Mendeecees fines and restitution he's been ordered to pay they will have to wait. See, bet Yandy wish she would have moved when Mendeecees found a place last season but she wasn't ready. Now they have to wait longer. 

Rich Dollaz made his debut on the first premiere of the season but he was laying low. He and Yandy attended the Gwinin Fest Cypher together watching their possible competition. Now that Rah Ali is a manager which artist is going to come out on top, BBOD or Young B? We shall see!

Stay tuned for more 'Love & Hip Hop New York' Mondays on VH1!

College Student Gets N-Word Stamped On Hand At Louisiania Bar

In Lousiana a female college students's night out with friends was short lived when the N-word got stamped on her hand.

According to the Grio, Taylor ward who is a freshman at Lsu went out with friends at a bar called Reggie's, when she noticed the N-word was spelled backwards on her hand (reggin).

Taylor got even more upset when she noticed what she called a racial shur was facing away from her instead of towards her.

"The bar stamped our hands at the door, and shortly after i noticed that the stamp spelled n****r backwards. I immediately showed my friends," Ward told CLUTCH.

Ward also said that she and her friends approached the manager regarding the stamp but he didn't have much to say which prompted them to leave the bar.

"We decided to bring it to the manager's attention. However, all he had to say was, it's a stamp, so we left," she added.

The LSU student stated that she was shocked and upset. She said other people had the stamp on their hand as well.

"I was really shocked. What upset me th emost is that it was blatantly disrespectful and it was obvious that the design of the stamp was intentional," Taylor explained.

When Taylor and her friends left Reggie's she posted a comment regarding the incident on Twitter.

"I just don't understand why we're still having to deal with racist incidents like this in 2016," Taylor tweeted.

No matter how many times someone says racism doesn't exist, it is quite evident that it does. Taylor Ward did the right thing by leaving the establishment. She also said she won't be returning to the bar but what happens now? 

This kind of behavior as well as other issues dealing with racism should be addressed. How do we prevent this kind of disrespect from continuing?

Young Entrepreneurs Making A Difference In Chicago

Despite the negativity and violence surrounding the youth there's still hope for brighter days, thanks to the young leaders making a difference for the up and coming generation to have something more positive to look forward to.

On the south side of Chicago three African American teenagers named Devin Buckley, Chris Berry and Regis Luckett started a production company called VIP Productions.The 16-year-olds have launched their own company after working at the new Blue 1647 Englewood Business Accelerator., VIP Productions services include picture editing, video editing, posters, event photography and event filming.

David Buckley said he's glad him and his partners started their own company because it shows black children can do something other than playing sports.

"I'm glad that we're doing this because this can show young black kids that you can actually do something, that playing sports isn't the only way you can make it in life," Buckley said.

Another young business owner who is paving the way for today's youth is Moziah Bridges. Bridges started his own bow tie line called Mo's Bows at the age of 9. In 2014 when he was 12 he appeared on the entrepreneur show called "Shark Tank". Now at age 13 the young entrepreneur's bow tie business is now worth $200,000. He also signed deal with Neiman Marcus and Cole Haan.

Children are blessed with many talents. Instead of focusing on sports, these young leaders want other children to know that they to ocan be leaders by starting their own business. Children without leaders and positive role models to look up to often fall prey to the streets. Many of them feel they have no outlet but with more young leaders more better days will come.

Will Kim and Kanye's New Baby Be Named Robert?

Congratulations to Kim and Kanye who welcomed their new baby boy on Saturday, December 5th.

Kimye had their first child in June 2013. After having a few minor complications Kim delivered three weeks before the second baby's due date.  While their daughter who is now two-years-old is named North, what will they be naming their son?

According to People Magazine, the married couple haven't came up with a first name but a close source revealed that it's a possiblity his middle name could be Robert, Kim's late father's and brother's name.


“It’s like the last thing Kanye and I did when North was born,” she shared. “We didn’t name her for like seven days. I feel like it will just come to us.”

It took Kimye a week to come up with a name for their daughter. Now that they have experienced parenthood it shouldn't take them no more than three days to come up with a name for their son. What about Kanye West jr. or Kanye's middle name Omari? Or maybe he can name their son after his father, Ray West.

What do you think Kanye and Kim's son name should be?

Exotic Dancer Exposes Apollo Nida In New Book

Reality star Apollo Nida was rumored to be given an early release from prison but that has yet to be confirmed. In the meantime his wife Phaedra Parks who has yet to file for divorce might be going forward with the process following the latest news.

As reported by Radaronline, exotic dancer turned author Cashaun Sidney released a book called Sordid Panties: Celebrities, Thots, Money & Scandal.
where she exposed the 'Real Housewives of Atlanta' star's infidelity after meeting him at a night club in Atlanta.

In the book she writes:


“He drove up with his brother, Michael, and they escorted us and two other young ladies into the club,” she claims in the book. “We entered the bar and had a few drinks and Apollo asked us if we wanted to go to Lenox Mall, a popular mall in Atlanta that held some of the most high-end stores in the city. Of course we were game.”

“We went to the mall and later as we were sitting in Bloomingdales, Apollo asked us if we wanted to accompany him to a night club where he would be heading later to meet up with a few other celebrity friends of his. We obliged.”


“We went back to his home to get dressed …” she writes. “It was evident that his wife was not in town.”

Parks, now 44, was nowhere to be seen, but signs of her were everywhere, according to Sidney: family pictures and merchandise related to her Phine Body fitness program.

“Inside the house I started rolling the blunt of pot and just kept my mouth shut as I looked around the woman’s house in awe,” she writes. “I couldn’t believe in were in Phaedra’s house.”

An obliging host, “Apollo poured shots of tequila for us and we proceeded to the back of the house where we sat by the pool and smoked the pot.”


“After smoking pot, we went back into the house to prepare for our night out,” she says. “We walked up stairs and he escorted us into the baby’s room. Yes the baby’s room of all the rooms. He asked my friend if she wanted to take a shower in the baby’s bathroom and she said yes….” (Nida is dad to sons Ayden, 4, and Dylan, 2.)


Sidney left the room but Nida and the pal stayed there for a while, she claims. “Were they both in the baby’s room taking a shower?” She admits, “I don’t know.”

Sidney also goes as far as calling Apollo a thot in the book.

In December 2014 Phaedra claim she was divorcing Nida. Now a year later they are still married. Is this enough to make her file for divorce?

Ayesha Curry Criticized for Choosing To Dress Classy Over Trendy

Ayesha Curry, wife of NBA super star Stephen Curry voiced her opinion on how she prefers to dress classy over trendy.

According to Vibe.com, Curry sent out some tweets that other women found offensive. 

These tweets were posted by Ayesha Curry on December 5:

Everyone's into barely wearing clothes these days huh? Not my style. I like to keep the good stuff covered up for the one who matters.

Just looking at the latest fashion trends. I'll take classy over trendy any day of the week. #saturdaynightinsight


and all I'm doing is sitting here reading a style weekly 😎😎😎. You guys definitely entertain me that's for sure.

Here are some of the women who responded to Ayesha's comment:

Lita James @lita_james114
reading what Ayesha Curry said & thinking that's nice..but there's STILL a man somewhere who STILL called you a h*e at some pt  #ItJustIs

felicia jean @felicianista
Sounds as if Ayesha Curry thinks her body/other women's bodies are like consumer goods marketed exclusively for use by men, or something.

Johnetta Elzie ✔ @Nettaaaaaaaa
Frightening how @ayeshacurry's comments inspired so many men to resort to being disrespectful + threatening towards women who didn't agree.

Despite those who disagree with what Curry said there were some men who had no problem with her comment.

Harry Styles AF @ImperfectGemini
I see nothing wrong with what Ayesha curry said....*stares at the offended tho*

Sean. @Seantaneous

don't be mad at ayesha curry because she got a wedding ring and you can't even get ketchup with your burger.

In response to the comments Ayesha ended things by saying regardless of if you like my "style of clothes" or not (which I don't care) please do not tear women down and degrade them... Not cool peeps.

What was wrong with Ayesah's comment? Why did some women get offensive? Every woman has their own style. Some are trendy and some are classy. Is there something wrong with showing some skin? Does that make you less of a woman if you do?

Mendeecees Harris Sentenced To 8 Years In Prison

On Tuesday, December 1st reality star Mendeecees Harris of 'Love and Hip Hop New York' was sentenced to eight years in prison on drug trafficking charges.

As reported by Yahoo.com, in April the 37-year-old pleaded guilty to conspiracy to distribute and process heroin and cocaine from 2005 to 2012 in Rochestor, New York. He took a plea deal which he will do two years less than the maximum sentence in a federal prison.

In addition to his sentencing Harris agreed to give up the $171,000 he made from VH1's 'Love and Hip Hop New York'. He is also giving up his 2011 Audi RB which is worth $111,000.

Harris and Yandy Smith married on Memorial Day, May 25, 2015. The couple share two children together. Mendeecees has two other children from a previous relationship.

The new season of 'Love and Hip Hop New York' will premiere on Monday, December 14th.

Although Mendeecees has been sentenced, the viewers will see him on the episodes that led up to his sentencing.

Yandy who is now a mother of three, including lil Mendeecees is keeping a positive attitude throughout this personal matter. She is not the only reality star who has had to deal with her husband going to prison in the midst of the spotlight.

Apollo NIda of 'Real Housewives of Atlanta' also husband of Phaedra Parks was sentenced to eight years in prison for idenity theft and bank fraud in September 2014. Phaedra caught a lot of backlash because she said she would not take their children to see Apollo while he was in jail.

Do you think Yandy should take their children to see Mendeecees in prison?
Would you take your children to see their mother or father in prison?

Real Housewives of Atlanta Season 8 Recap: "Cynthia Confronts Peter"

On the new season of "Real Housewives of Atlanta" Cynthia confronted Peter about the video of him and another woman getting too close and personal. Porsha introduced her new young man. Kenya stirred the pot with former cast mate Sheree who also returned to the season. Kandi and Todd discussed Phaedra and Apollo.

This season Cynthia is standing her ground and she's not taking no mess from anybody, not even Peter. She confronted Peter about the video of him getting a little too cozy with another woman in Charlotte. Peter claim there's nothing between the two but his wife wanted him to know that his behavior was embarrassing and unacceptable.

Todd and Kandi are about to be new parents but while Kandi is waiting to deliver, there's still unresolved issues involving Phaedra and Todd. Todd claims Phaedra owes him money from the video he helped her with but Phaedra thinks Todd has other issues with her. She believes Todd doesn't like her becaue of Apollo. She also believes Kandi isn't supportive of her because of Todd's and Apollo's friendship.

Porsha who was once married to former NFL player Kordell Stewart has a new man but he's the opposite of Kordell. While Kordell was much older than Porsha she is close to ten years older than her new boo, Duke. Porsha says age ain't nothing but a number but her family disapproves. In reality Porsha is no longer with Duke but let's just see how things play out!

Earlier in the first episode Kenya showed Cynthia her new crib in Atlanta while throwing shade at Chateau Sheree at the same time. She was so bold she addressed Sheree who made her grand entrance at Cynthia's eyeglasses launch party. But Sheree isn't no punk and she threw shade back at Kenya double time. 

Sheree is noone to play with and Kenya will soon find that out. Every season she initiates conflict with one of her cast mates. This season it just so happens to be Sheree. 

Also this season Porscha's overly egotistical ways is going to cause her to make some enemies.

Stay tuned for more 'Real Housewives of Atlanta' Sunday's on Bravo!

'Big Brother 17 Finale Recap: "Steve Wins"

Congratulations to Steve on winning Big Brother 17!

This may not have been one of the best seasons of Big Brother but for every season there's a winner. It was a close game for Vanessa who almost made it to the final two. Vanessa played a good game throughout the season but she didn't get her hands dirty, as Jason pointed out.

After getting rid of Johnny Mac for the second time it was down to Vanessa, Steve and Liz. Steve and Vanessa competed against each other in the final game of the season. It was a very close call for Vanessa but Steve beat her by one point. Immediately, Steve was required to evict either Vanessa or Liz. He praised Vanessa's game play during the season and he sent her to jury.

During the voting process both Liz and Steve were tied at three. As Julie Chen continued on Steve had four votes and then five and then it was revealed that Shelly voted for Steve as well. 

Did Steve deserve to win? Well, he did play a more strategic game than Vanessa, which he explained during the Q&A for the BB17 houseguests who were evicted early on. With Vanessa gone and most of the strong players gone he deserved to win over Liz.

Steve won $500,000, Liz won $50,000. 

America's fan favorite top three nominees was between Johnny Mac, James and Jason. As lovable as John was it was James who won the $25,000.

The N Word: From Offensive to Casually Speaking

It is very important for parents and elders from older generations to teach their children, grandchildren and younger generations the history of their ethnicity and their ancestors. Every culture lives a different lifestyle and uphold specific beliefs and values; therefore, it is important to educate our youth before they become mockeries of society.

In this case I am referring to the N word, a derogatory term once used to describe black people during slavery. It is also a word used now as an expression, a figure of speech, mostly used by males in greetings and general conversations.

Many are wondering how an expression once used as a demeaning term towards blacks, all of a sudden turned out to be acceptable by blacks. But if one of another race uses the N word, blacks become irate and ready to fight, because then it’s insulting to them and disrespectful towards the black race. Older generations find the N word offensive and disrespectful to the black race, while generations thereafter embrace it. The younger generations are only repeating what they hear on a constant bases, which is why i strongly believe some repetitive patterns need to be broken, or ceased before it becomes a habit.

Hip Hop artists, videos, and cable programs have been blamed for the popular use of the N word. The truth is the N word didn’t just start being used in any of those things. During the early 70s and thereafter, comedians and actors often used the N word in stand up comedy shows, skits and black films. Rather it’s from the television or the radio, the N word’s influential power has caused criticism, which has brought about major controversial attacks. The N word has also been banned from television networks, and radio shows, but banning the N word doesn’t stop people from using it!

It is easy for a child to repeat what they hear and not know what it means. When my sons were younger they often heard the N word. The first time they said it, I immediately encouraged them not to say it again. As they became older I explained why the meaning of the word is offensive to some and why others feel more comfortable using it.

How the N word was used decades ago is different than the way it is perceived now. Even though some blacks use the term as an expression, or a general way of speaking, I don’t use the N word simply because I choose not to and it’s not apart of my vocabulary. I feel it is not appropriate to address someone in that manner. I also feel that if it’s not okay for the opposite race to use it, then it’s not okay for African Americans to use it either.

Is it a good thing or a bad thing for blacks to call one another the N word? I won’t say it’s a good thing or a bad thing, who am I to judge. However, it means the same thing no matter how you use it or spell it. I am not saying those who use it are wrong;, however, it does send off a misconception. It's no different than the holidays. How we celebrate them is different from it's initial meaning!

Sometimes we have to be responsible for our own actions and set by example. Even if we don’t have children we still should be more careful of what we say and more aware of what we do, not just for ourselves but for our upcoming youth!

'The Haves And The Have Nots' Season 4 Finale: "Is Quincy Dead"

On the finale of 'The Haves and the Have Nots' The Cryers, Candace, The Harringtons, Hannah and Quincy were all in for a big surprise, some for the good and some for the bad.

First Hannah and Benny confronted Candace about the job she never had, Hannah's burning house, Benny's new house and the towing company. They drilled her on where she got $7 million from but she never told them. She did show them proof that the two houses and Benny's tow building was paid for in full. Still and all Hannah wanted nothing to do with anything that came from Candace and her dirty money. The good news is Hannah was granted custody of her grandson Quincy jr. 

When Candace tried to prove to them that she had over $4 million left her account appeared to be empty. There was no money. Candace  called Oscar immediately asking about her money. Oscar pretended to not know what she was talking about. When he arrived at Candace place he denied taking her money in the beginning. He then admitted to taking it and how he went about taking it. Candace was right all along but it was too late. She wasn't smart enough to catch on soon enough. As it turns out Oscar aka Brandon was working for David. He set her up from the moment she bribed Jim after taking him hostage.

Candace went into rage and tried to stab Oscar with a knife. Oscar overpowered Candace but Quincy came to her rescue letting Oscar get away. Unfortunately, Candace wasn't off the hook just yet. Quincy was out for blood and he almost killed Candace until Jeffery came to her rescue. Quincy had the upper hand over both Jeffery and Candace. Once he was in control again he started slapping Candace around in the face. Jeffery got a hold of the knife and stabbed Quincy several times in the back. Is Quincy dead?

Meanwhile after Jim Cryer announced he would be running for governor both he and his wife and were Veronica and David were arrested for their part in covering up a murder.

It was Jefferey and Wyatt who found Jeffery's car that was apart of the hit and run that killed an innocent little girl. They found it at the tow yard where they also found Veronica making out with Benny. 

'The Haves and the Have Nots' season 4 has come to and end. Next season what is going to happen to the Harringtons and the Cryers? Is Quincy out of Candace life for good? Where is Hannah going to live? Will she move in the Cryer's house? How will Jim take it when he finds out David is running for governor?

'The Haves and the Have Nots' will return in January 2016!

;Black Ink Crew' Season 4, Ep. 5: "Ceaser Wants Dutchess To Sign Pre-nup"

This week on 'Black Ink Crew' Ceaser meets with Med about buying Ink 124. Sky writes her sons a letter. Ceasar talks to Dutchess about a pre-nup and he and Puma meet again.

Ceasar is having mixed feelings about moving to North Carolina. He doesn't like to see Dutchess cry so he gave in to what she wanted. When they returned to New York, Ceas met up with Med in regards to buying Ink 124. Although Ceas wanted to buy it he turned down Med's offer. Ceas wants to please Dutchess but is he setting himself up for disaster?

Things got even worse when Ceas brought up having a pre-nup. Dutchess quickly went from being calm and sweet to the wicked witch of the east. She hit below the belt when she told ceas that Black Ink is barely kicking rocks. She claims she helped Ceas bring up Black Ink, forgetting about how she became a better tattoo artist. But Dutchess knows how to get what she wants from Ceas. She pulled out her crocodile tears and he gave in once again.

While Sky was struggling with being without her two sons she took her friends advice and wrote them a letter. Sky was very emotional while writing her words down on paper. One can only imagine how hard it was for her to do but she did it!

Meanwhile Ceasar and Puma finally met up for the first time after the fight at Fashion Week. Ceasar who had intentions on talking to Puma couldn't get passed the fact that Puma and his crew jumped on him. To him he didn't feel he had a fair fight. Ceas challenged Puma by telling him he was going to give him what he didn't give to him. He told Puma to stand up. Puma stood up and Ceas swung on him repeatedly til security stepped in. Puma didn't get a lick in. As a matter of fact he wasn't even trying to fight Ceasar. Is it because he can't or he just felt he deserved to get his a** whipped!

'Love & Hip Hop Hollywood' Season 2, Ep.3: "Lil B Surprises Max At The Studio"

On this weeks episode of 'Love & Hip Hop Hollywood' Teairra and Hazel settled their differences. Lil Fizz tells Kamiah the real deal. Nia Nas go for another round over Soulja Boy. Milan suspects Miles of cheating. Lil B surprises her husband at the studio.

Last season Lil Fizz had his eyes set on Nikki but this season a new girl name Kamiah was in the mix. Fizz let Kamiah stay at his crib while he was out of town. He wasn't too happy with how Kamiah rearranged his furniture and made his home her home. Later on he met up with Kamiah to let her know he's not looking for anything serious. He said she was like an appetizer and he wasn't ready for the main course yet. Kamiah who thought they were building something didn't like being referred to as an appetizer. She said what he wants to do is not apart of her plans. Does that mean she's off the menu?

After almost getting into a physical altercation with Nia, Nas went to see Soulja Boy while he was shooting a video at his home. She wanted Soulja Boy to tell Nia the truth about them. It seems as though Nas doesn't understand the difference between someone who just wants to get in her panties and someone who wants to be with her. Just because she and Soulja had a little thing on the side doesn't mean he is her man. 

After Nas interrupted Soulja Boy and Nia met up with Apryl, Nia decided to call Nas to try to hash things out. Nas was still convinced that she and Soulja have a thing going on. Nia who called Nas a satan thot tried to tell her several times that Soulja is with her but Nas just wasn't listening.

Lil B and Max are one of the new couples added to the show. Max is a producer who once cheated on his wife in the past. Lil B who is the God daughter of the late  Whitney Houston will go through great lengths to make sure her husband is faithful. When their son found his wedding ring she surprised him at the studio with the help of Nikki. Nikki pretended she left her phone charger in the kitchen and just like that they got in the building where the studio was.

Max was in the studio with some random females listening to music. He wasn't doing anything wrong with the ladies but that didn't stop Lil B from walking in on him. Lil B immediately demanded one of the females to take her paws off her husband. Max grabbed his wife before she ended up in a fight with some females she knows nothing about.

Last but not least, Milan suspects Miles of cheating after he missed their dinner date and haven't been spending the nights at his place. He wanted Miles to come out to his friends and family like he has but Miles just isn't ready. When Milan told Miles he has other men at his place while he's gone that was Miles cue to leave.

'Married To Medicine' Season Finale: "Heroes of Heath"

On the finale of 'Married To Medicine' season three the couples spent their last day in the Bahamas. Dr. Heavenly decided not to attend Quad's "Heroes of Health" event. Toya and Mariah ended things on a sour note.

Mariah who was still in her feelings made it clear that Quad wasn't being a true friend but she was really mad at Toya. After a few words between Mariah and Toya, both their husbands stepped in which only made matters worse. Once Cecil diffused the situation the couples headed home.

Despite the tension between Mariah and Toya, Quad invited all the couples to her "Heroes of Health" event. Dr. Heavenly decided not to attend at the last minute. She told her husband Dr. Damon that she was tired of the drama and just didn't want to be around the ladies.

During the event everyone appeared to be getting along well, at least until Mariah showed up. Mariah was still upset with Toya so she found Toya and Eugene to start some mess. She started out by speaking but then she followed her hello by reminding Toya that they were mad at each other.

Knowing Toya would respond, Mariah pushed her buttons even more by bringing up why she was really mad at her. Mariah wasn't ready to be around the group. Instead of taking time to get herself together she went on a rant towards her cast mates. 

Mariah's behavior didn't make the group want to accept her back in. It only made things worse. She felt no one called her after she miscarried with twins. They all apologized and that still wasn't good enough!

Stay tuned for the reunion to 'Married To Medicine' Sunday on BravoTv!
