Marie son got his temper from his mama. They are the same.
Tell it! No one ever just snaps like that without having done it before. He may have had tantrums before but you can't get away with the same ish when you're 8 foot 12.
Exactly. Now she may not be like that directly with him because she coddles him, but he definitely grew up watching her act a fool
Thank you!!!
@@momentswithmicki exactly
I can tell that Jerez has gotten at his mother like that before. This isn't the first outburst. I think Marie thought it was cute when he was acting aggressive towards others. She never thought it would be her.
The southern belle thing is a bit heavy handed for me. I hated to see them run to check on that white woman, pat her in the back, and dry her tears. She was in full Karen mode and they fell right into her attempt to center herself
I thought it was me, they was supposed to check her, she cried and then she had the nerve to get feisty!!
I think that’s where Marie was trying to go when she centered herself at the brunch, but Marie doesn’t know how to express that.
They should have left her alone to cry in the hallway by herself! That was white guilt and she needed to come to terms with that alone.
I was disgusted with that scene. Like who thought this was a good idea?
@@trw927 exactly
The white woman tears was enough for me to not watch again. Then suddenly she turns into a badass and tells that black woman she's a nobody at a table full of black women??? Nah..its a no for me.
Yep everyone should have been offended and addressed that
Listen she can go honestly that turned me off the show
@@214InnocentGirl20 I could see that. What kind of representation of us is that?
Exactly...I was disappointed at how they ran out an petted her up and dried those croc tears
How could all those black women sit there and not say anything? She should have been escorted out.
Thank you Dineva for addressing Marie and her son. Mothers raising sons need to realize they are raising someone's future partner and father. I'm tired of having conversations with friends /family about how broken some black men are due to their familial traumas relating to mommy issues.
Right! Stop raising these snowflakes!
So true, they mess their sons up then except good women to "fix" them and go thru drama and b.s trying to understand them😒😒😑🤦♀️
Instablaster
Y’all done tortured him into watching this dry ass show lol
And we got a dry review
Dry af. His review is me watching the show 😫
😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂
I’d rather him review this boring ass season of Rhoa
It's just lazy production. Marie, you're such a mega boss, but your "office" doesn't have a computer, or office equipment... just like the therapist office. Ya'll could, at bare minimum, make it at least feel believable.
Right I thought I was the only one paid attention to this crappy office she got. I’m starting to really not like it with all the fake ness and all these brunches is just terrible. A brunch every episode is not it. I wanted to support because I’m a sister to from Mississippi but this not it and none of them are real millionaires.
@@introvertgal6653 Now I have to correct you on one part..Mrs. Goddess Length really is..
I said the same thing and rolled my damn eyes 🙄 like biffa go rent a wee work space at least if you gonna sell us on the mega boss bs 😩
For someone who works in mental health, it just doesn’t seem realistic. With as many state and government contracts the facility probably receives. Only a fool would put their practice and self on the line or in jeopardy for seasonal reality tv.
I hadn't noticed that, wow
Marie- She IS miserable
Lateisha- MY FAV lol
Tambra- Her annoying voice and bouffant wigs get on my nerve but she seems aight
Antionette- That’s my middle name🤷🏾♀️....but she’s likeable
Latrice- hmmm.... her and that granddaddy husband of hers are weird
I screamed 💀 🤣 at bouffant wig... dade County
Celeste8271, you are on point with EVERYTHING you said 😆😆🤣
I feel the same way, especially about Tambra. Her name matches her appearance and my middle name is Antoinette too. Lol
What she said!
This the best description of all of them
Kaylon is uncomfortable because her great grandfather was the president of the Confederate States. I don’t like Kaylon... because she knows good and well what they were talking about. I agree with everything else you said though.
Exactly
A hit dog will holler. Woof
Right, I was over her tears. That was nothing but guilt. She was better off not even bringing up her great grandfather because I’m sure people are setting her straight now.
PERIOD. And why did she feel the need to name her ancestor? It did not help her viewpoint at all.
Kaylon is a gaslighter. She sat up there crying then came back and started patronizing the women. She’s crazy as hell.
Kaylon discredited all of their experiences while making herself the victim and their response was to coddle her and wipe her “white tears”. She said racism is a thing of the 60s and now it’s blacks hating whites. She doesn’t believe we still experience discrimination and prejudice simply because she “isn’t racist”. For her to speak for ALL white ppl and say “we don’t feel that way, we don’t talk about you all like that” shows her lack of openness and belief in their experiences. I wouldn’t have reacted to her storming out. Let her walk.
On God!!
Totally agree
I 100% agree with you, please say it louder for the folks in the back. Frankly with white folks talk like that they are usually undercover racist.
Exactly. She made it about her. She said all of that "were not racist" stuff and then went on to demean Marie by calling her a nobody. I'm no fan of Marie, but she was right. This is Latesha's event. This is about Latesha, not you.
@@brandilatham7047 And as someone else pointed out when she said who her great grandfather was......was she referring to Jefferson Davis the president of the confederate states?! Cuz if so that makes her outburst even more BS!
It’s the “BIG BIKE” Essie for me🤣🤣😭😭💀💀
Yes!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@zenjaterry2346 🤣🤣🤣
oooooo!
You get tired of watching educated woman who can't get along.
Which one of them is educated? Lol. Only the dentist sounds educated. The others have terrible grammar and don’t know how to speak in professional settings.
I haven't watched it yet bc I have been stuck on Netflix and Hulu for the past month, but that being said Bling Empire is great. Maybe reality should take a page out of their production books.
@@shayrobinson1044 I love Bling Empire, on there it was said, we Asians don't fight, bicker or argue

@@shord140 AAVE 🤷🏽♀️
PS This Sad ass show has sucked all the life out of our baby look at him Q is just over it
Girl he's also tired from working out with his trainer 😁
I didn't even see your comment and basically said the same thing...
If "How da fuq do I get back four hours of my life back!" was a person, this would be it
I'm betting on the latter! That was 4 hours that lacked entertainment.
I just said this to myself !! He def looks over it ! Like lol
Tambra is so odd to look at... It's giving Latoya Jackson and Ms. Potato Head.
And I oop!
🤣
😂😂😂😂
💀😭😭😭
😂😂😂😂
The problem is most of these women don't have a true friendship therefore there is no chemistry between them.
Yes because when RHOA came on they were friends so it was more organic and funny.
That’s it! There’s no chemistry at all.
The more I watched this I couldn't tell if Q's spirit was heavy or if he was truly disgusted by this show
He seems tired of needing to review these tired paint-by-numbers reality shows because it’s expected by his audience.
Disgusted
The show is just very outdated. Everybody looks like they are from 2003.
No disrespect to anyone from Mississippi but it is a Mississippi show ...not exactly New York or Atlanta fashions
I gave them more credit than that, I said 2009 lol
@@catmo59 let's not be defensive cz am sure you can see how Latrice and Antoinette dress, they are in the same area code but dress like a Porsha and Cynthia.
@@catmo59 Marie looked cheap frilly and dumb with the nylon polyester blend “get up” she had on at the brunch. She’s oblivious to the lack of fashion sense as well. Antoinette and Latrice looked good. Antoinette clearly ain’t from around there!
@@catmo59 that’s the truth
How Marie and Latrice like to say I’m rich, I’m successful does something to my soul. You don’t have to constantly say it for people to believe it. It should show on it’s own.
I think the term is jealousy to describe what you are feeling. Because if you were those things, you wouldn't feel anything.
Tambra ENTIRE MAKEUP was borrowed from the little Richard collection. It is so bad and she is such a pretty girl. She reminds me of Wendy Williams in the 90s with the way too big and crazy wigs in the overdone chalky makeup. And God knows she could use some contouring
Bwahaha!!! 🤣🤣😂
😂😂Lil Richard collection
It's that funeral home look with all that makeup
Cremation No.9😂😂😂
@@lwoods9482 casket ready 😂😂
Latrice is first season Porsha. Her husband is Cordell.
She seems to love him though I couldn’t see the love with Porsha and Kordell
Yessss definitely her husband won’t let her breathe and she laugh about it but that mess get on her nerves you can tell
@@stephaniejohnson3497 Yep, it's uncomfortable with how controlling he is.
@@thekookiebrown696 You think so? I thought Porsha loved Cordell but it seemed one side like she was his trophy. With Latrice, I can see love but it's too controlling. Almost like he's trying to change her.
Girl I never thought about it like that. You are right.
"Your hair is so big. *whispers* so big" 😂😂
He is so silly whispering SO BIG, FUNNY
💀💀💀🤣
🤣🤣🤣
Anybody who keeps screaming they a boss ain’t really a boss!! Marie is hood rich at best in her fake office with no people or computer in it!! She wants to check everybody BUT that son whom she enables. Unfortunately Tambra want make it past Jackson MS. She looks like Latoya Jackson and something is just “off” about her. The only people I see as true business entrepreneurs are Antoinette and Latrice.
Girllllll I said that on the first episode. I was wondering if Marie rented the office just for the show. I just didn't think it was her real office. They can't convince me of that.
@@deemanning26 And do real bosses need to make sure you see their "red bottom" pumps?
I just love how you can conduct thorough critical analysis on these shows. No one does it like you.
I just said that. No one
Nobody!!! Q is a natural
Yes. Someone else in the comments got defensive as if he’s shitting on the show but he’s just critically analyzing the lack of substance. Some folks just want him on review auto pilot and its like when this shit is not interesting,it becomes burdensome to watch rather than entertaining.
I said it. This show has Carlos King written all over it! CARLOS PEOPLE! CARLOS PEOPLE! WE TIYAAADDD! Its extremely predictable, it's entirely country as hell, one keeps saying shes a boss and multi millionaire 🙄 its the typical scenario. These girls would not be hanging out with each other in real life. Like lets cut the foolishness. Attitudes and phony lives. Let's cut it.
Exactly. His brand of Reality is just so....low budget and predictable. And I really try to support him but he needs the BRAVO machine behind him to really shine.
@@TheeCoachg yes or he needs a new, young, fresh team because we're uninterested.
I read that just like FD would have yelled it at us😂
Marie tell us every other sentence she take care of all them kids. Like dayuumm we get it. And when Essie opened THEIR door for the son I was like yeah Essie is too involved....
Essie, is a little too much in Marie's personal life. Why, when Marie has a husband? The man looks scared and afraid to say anything. Her son has three children and just going off to college is an issue all by itself. Marie, needs to be focus on her family life.
I’m convinced that Essie and Marie have more than a friendship going on, sis is a little too invested!!!
They bulldagging that's why
Having kids is not a guarantee for old age. I see many old people whose children ain’t shit and really are a threat to them physically and financially. Best thing to do surround yourself with people who care and just look out for one another
exactly 👌🏿
Chile, I married a man who came from old parents and trust me, he ain’t shit! When we met he had never made his own bed! SMH
@@Miasbigfeet I have seen women who spent their youth having babies. Sometimes 13 kids and still end up in a nursing home which is better than the conditions their kids live in.
Jerrez is just big and sorry with them damn slides on like he's going to the gas station. That's parenting. We couldn't leave the house wrinkled, in house shoes, hair scarves etc. He will stay sorry as long she's there coddling him. Who curses at their parent like that IN THEIR HOUSE?! My mama woulda slapped my head off!
I hated to see his feet out in those slides! 🤣He doesn't want to do anything but live off Marie cause she allows it and continue to be sexually irresponsible.
@@ashleydenise9875 I couldn't fix my mouth once to say "I'm pregnant" let alone 3x. She gets satisfaction from being a grandmother... I get that, but at what expense? The reason he's going to college 3 hrs away is because she's funding it!
@@Taggimit Exactly! No one is holding him accountable so he feels he can do whatever.
😂😂like he's going to the gas station.
Exactly!! My parents wouldn't even let me go to the MAILBOX without looking presentable!!

It's the way u referenced Funky in GOD'S phrase for me. Chileeee😂
RIGHT ON TIIIIIIIIIME!!!!
Yes 🙌🏿 he does great commentary
Facts!
Just watched Oprah interview Cicely Tyson. Ms. Tyson said that we have to learn white people, but they don’t have to learn us. FACTS!
Exactly
Exactly. I'm not here for that
Which means she didn't need to be in the room. Malcolm bought rolled in his grave. Her being in that room is like telling your left hand what your right hand is doing...in Hicksville, MS...in front of a WW who come from a long line of power and money.
Tambra in her 50s talking about having a baby. That's not fair to the baby. She's giving off Karlie Redd vibes.
I don’t like pasty lipstick on her, cake up makeup, and tons of hair is just a lot going on
She needs a stylist
@@renehays979 bad!
She look a mess, she a middle age women and needs to stop with the 21 year old bubble gum pink lipstick, 10 lbs of weave and pancake makeup
it's too much🙄🙄
And then she wants to put on those 10 gallon Stetson hats. Tooo damn murch.
Marie is so bitter it comes off like she’s incapable of just being happy.
Kinda like Michelle straight from the A? LOLOL
@@Teebee407 exactly like her!

When u n an unhappy relationship, or your household ain't right, that's how u act, that's what's wrong with her
I agree! She talks a good game but couldn't check her own son with three kids.
Don’t feel obligated to watch this show for US. Cause a majority of US don’t care for this show! It’s HORRIBLE, fake, silly, and I’m sick of over acting fake drama 👎🏽👎🏽
It’s the over acting, the bad wigs, and the circa 2008 bad Makeup for me💅🏽
I watched it because nothing else is on.
The trailer didn't even look interesting so I wasn't going to watch based off that lol
I lived in Ridgeland for a long time. I never met people who were like these women. It wasn’t what I expected.
@@jtagnew thank you for letting us know I was curious about this.Being in my 50s.I honestly havent seen women wearing false eyelashes in person since I was a child in the 60s.I see them on tv but not in my area and when I gi to the city I havent seen it.Weaves of course not too many wigs though
It was the “so big “ whisper for me 🤣🤣🤣
The constant talking about how much money they have and being a boss, is a clear indication of them not actually being who they are trying to portray. That's "new money" behavior.
@mahogany princess, exactly
What is money is loud but wealth is silent
Sho' you right!
Idk who Marie clients will be after watching this show. This show is doing her a professional disservice.
You are absolutely right! She may regret doing this show.
Funky I thought you missed the mark on Kaylon. She shouldn't have been in the room. Her points reflect her white entitlement
Its ok to hold convo with white people about race; however this initially was a business meeting...a black business meeting. She should not had been in the room. Especially given the power she holds.
I agree totally. Kaylon is not an ally. I'd trust Rachel Dolezal in the room before her.
I agree Funky, this show is not going to do it for me. I'm glad your being honest despite your friendship with Carlos King. I would love to see him expand in the content he creates.
Funky hit the nail on the head with the Marie and her son situation.
Kaylon basically tried to steal that moment and it pissed me off.
“Girl you gon have to leave that pink lipstick alone”🤣
poor tambra cherie...you looked so fatigued & tired talking about that lipstick...LMFAOOOOOOO
I cant support this show.. Just like Love and Marriage Huntsville, they led us to believe that our people were going to be doing something positive for the community but It quickly became another show where there is drama and we tear each other down...Too many shows already spreading that narrative...I was excited to see these ladies buy up the neighborhood and create black businesses and opportunities, but Im not excited to see another Basketball Wives in business suits... So disappointed!!!☹☹☹☹☹
I'm over this grown, "successful", women acting like they're 16 y/o mean girls. If the wig was so bad why not put it back in the pack and show the lady your problem?
I wish these show producers would pay attention... read the room, this is not what we want. We are over this NeNe Kenya antics
“It’s just so big and your hair is so big”. The way I just hollered 😩😩😂😂😂 and I’ve never ever seen this show. That’s how you know Q draws focus. I don’t know what the heck this show is but I know Q will give some educated and common sense based commentary. He will drop some real life lesson gems.
The scenario with Kaylon just reiterates the theory that even in an unapologetic black space, black people still have to restrict themselves for the comfort of others. Also her witty remarks were very much so micro aggressive and dismissive.
Kaylon definitely made mention of being part of Jefferson Davis’s lineage so I refuse to believe she didn’t know what she was doing in that moment or that racism is alive a well, she was uncomfortable and couldn’t take the heat.
Yeah, I'm over this format of reality TV. But Q is such a good commentator that I'd watch him talk about paint drying 🤷🏿♀️
Agreed
Hell this show sounds like paint drying 😂😂 I'm definitely here for everything Dineva tho🤩🤩
So would I.
That would be "a whole other video for another day" and that will entails of him telling us the painters brushstrokes, the vividness of the color, the cons of breathing the fumes and then he "fuck round and get MAD" that the paint taking too long to dry!
@@ParentalDiscretionIsAdvised 🤣🤣🤣
I’m sorry but Kaylon didn’t do it for me. She wanted to keep pushing the “racism is over and we’ve moved on” bs. If that was how she truly felt then listen and hear what the other side had to say. She’s a non factor in the show ...to me.
Thank you!!! Q giving her any empathy is weird to me. She know damn well she’s heard her family say disparaging things about Black folks! I bet her ass was down to the capital on January 6th!!
@@Miasbigfeet Girl If she wasn’t I bet she knows somebody that was there!
Antionette is from Michigan that’s why she don’t act like them 😂😂😂😂
She so quiet for the low down behavior Marie got going on. They all claiming to be millionaires...im still trying to see it🙄🙄. We don't want to seem like we don't support our own, but this show is fake to the ground. Outfits are cheap as hell, storylines dry AF, and rich folks don't walk around claiming "im rich". It is seen! So yall let me know when the real rich bitch arrives ...bye👋👋👋

Oh she knows that why her ass was feeling guilty
Yeah that crying and talking like she speaks for the entire white race was a no for me. Like, girl go away from us with this mess.
Chile
I'm sorry, Dineva - I absolutely feel like that woman of no color did all of that on purpose... she knew what she was doing, in that moment.. she's too smart NOT to have known. That's what they do .. when the race topic comes up, they deflect and make it an emotional moment about them. And then I hate how we [the black ladies] were so quick to go after her and coddle her 😒. Just.. UGHHH!
If Kaylen does not belong in the world than she should not be it. It is not their jobs to make Kaylen comfortable. That wasn’t the time or place to explain stuff to her. They are trying to revitalize a neighborhood and she took away from that.
Not true sorry if she was there and feels uncomfortable she should be ok to talk and speak on how she feels. Marie is miserable and has a horrible attitude. It wasn't her brunch and Teisha doesn't have any trouble speaking for herself, hell she more diplomatic than Marie and got alot more class
@@alexislewis1079 I agree marie is annoying and privileged she thinks that the reason why kaylon was upset because she felt embarrassed about some of the thing people in her race treated black people.
kalen or whatever her name is turned herself into a victim, typical...
Yes my exact thoughts. I hated that they coddled her in that moment.
Also didn't she say Jefferson "President of the Confederate States of America" Davis was her great great... granddad???? And no one in her family was racist?? And we don't need to here her story. WE ARE TIRED OF HEARING THEIR SIDE OF THE STORY!!
@@aliciamackie5876 Right! Her attitude and demeanor gave me “be glad you’re free” vibes. Kaylon literally acted as if they were all lying and making up their experiences. Seems as if her views are “y’all can do things now so shut up” And don’t get me started on that “come here” statement. I think Antoinette ignores her micro aggressions.
@@rettarue Antoinette seeks white validation imo
That's what they do tho. Every time. It's the black women who fell for that BS that's the problem. How you allow this woman to come into your space and cry crocodile tears about YOUR experiences you've had with them? Then had the nerve to get rude later. I'm so disgusted by that whole scene.
I’m usually with you but this time kaylon knew exactly what she was doing. She started mocking the very conversation by saying “oh you’re going to attack me”. She discredited her whole little cry with that remark. These women just expressed their grievances and she decided do make a mockery. It’s unfortunate.
I think too much energy was spent on trying to understand Kaylons emotions. You can't undo the ingrained entitlement and superiority complexes with a conversation
Kaylon just wanted her "Good White Lady" pat on the back.
I’m from Jackson and know a couple of them personally and I really wanna touch on a lot of what you and some of the other commenters said but it’s just not enough space here to do it! 😩 I’m reviewing the show if anyone would like to hear the perspective of someone who lives in Jackson, but I will say this - most African Americans have roots in Mississippi and lots of what we ALL enjoy now was born in some form or fashion in Mississippi. I find it interesting when people clown us. We are one of the cornerstones (if not THEE cornerstone) of the Civil Rights Movement and the nightmare of any Black person dating back to slavery. The fact that these women and others like us even EXIST in Mississippi is a miracle. Put some respect on The Sipp. We have to work a million times harder here, we have to fight for ANY representation, let alone positive and FAIR representation, we are overlooked for opportunities (as you mentioned) and when we do have half of something and try to be excited about it, it still is lackluster at best. I think some of the local creatives could have done a much better job at producing, shooting and editing it. No one can really capture the culture and the people doing amazing work like we can and we would’ve won you over lol. I’m trying to be optimistic about the show but I do agree with a lot of what you said and I have some theories on why they (the cast) went along with this format and agreed to play their different characters. Lastly, let’s not act like big city fashion and weave is all that great on every show or in every city. I’ve seen busted weaves and late fashion in Miami, Atlanta and everywhere else you can name. They need some work now, definitely not arguing against that, but all ima say is... they only represent themselves, not us all, and the one who seems to really have what she is portrayed to have is the best dressed. ☕️
Well said (from a sis born and raised in Jackson, but living in Houston for 13 years and knows a few of these women as well). Jackson will always be home for me and it's where my family, friends, and dear old college home are. I must admit, I was a little skeptical about this show coming out because even in TX, I'm still very protective of the image of home since people have terrible preconceived ideals of what Jackson is like today. I'm not crazy about how these women are behaving on the show, but I'm not sure about how much of it is them cutting up for the cameras and how much is just the overused, tired reality format that Carlos King continues to shove down our throats. I wish all of them the best in their professional endeavors, but I lowkey want this show to go away...SOON.
@@KianaDay hey girl 👋🏽 my sister lives in Houston now as well! I don’t necessarily want it to go away but I wish I could’ve been in the production meetings 😭 I say this because I work in media and have produced different kinds of film and other stuff. I can think of a dozen other directions this show could’ve gone in even with the big “project” of revitalizing Farish Street. It doesn’t do Jackson justice that’s for sure.
I am born & bred Mississippian as well and now living in MN. THANK YOU for expressing so well what we MS people feel about representation and about our contributions to the Black experience from civil rights activism, music, food, culture, traditions, etc. Those generations of the Great Migrations still carry those MS roots and culture (and accent hybrids) - whether they admit or not. It is there.
So, I hate to hear people downing MS and it's sister state AL when so much of our history and foundations are tied to those 2 states.
Put some respect on those 2 states. And celebrate when those states get a moment to shine in the spotlight for good things...for diamonds in the rough...for some successes occurring there.
It may not be as fancy as NY or CA, but worthy of some spotlight for things other than "pain" or "racism"...which obviously still occur other places today (MN's George Floyd & Philando Castille...just as poignant as MS Medgar Evers and Emmitt Till...and shows that other parts of the country have racism & pain...not only the South.)
I also agree that there should have Bern some MS filming crew and editors who would have given a better treatment of what was showcased and filmed. It would have shown what was unique and special about that area.
They could have filmed some community involment of the many Black businesses, community groups, and the HBCUs there, etc. Instead of saying they represent "Jackson"...when they are also representing the surrounding suburbs/cities, too. That way viewers can see that there are several cities in that area doing well. That this is a collective of cities doing great things as part of Capital city Jackson & surrounding areas...
Most AA don’t have roots in Mississippi. Most wouldn’t go there if you paid them. It’s country n racist.
I'm from Jackson, MS and I graduated from high school with Marie. 4 kids and 4 baby daddies and that's the way you talk to the only one that married you. After the first episode I was done.
Wow! And he married her twice😬. Must be the money 💰
OOPS spill the tea, YES
Well now it makes sense why the son made 3 babies from 3 women all within a 9-month period.
Tea, Tea, Tea!!
Damn! Mic drop. I’m in the Ridgeland area.
If Marie closed the purse she loses her power she likes holding over her son
Thank you!!!
Well if he's not working or even taking care of all 3 of those infants under age 1 then what else do you expect her to do. It's like that same thing Iyanla was saying to Lisa Raye about her 30 yr old daughter still in the house with no job but bringing babies on the house. So her son & lisa's daughter need to get off they tails and learn how to take care of themselves but neither want to get away from the money their moms give them as hand outs because they are lazy
@Whitley and she doesnt want him to she likes to complain bcuz she has a superhero complex
@@lexislove639 I agree
If she had a daughter with 3 children, I guarantee Marie wouldn't be as helpful. Ive seen it too much: Black daughters are raised while Black sons are coddled
I was with you until you said Black people aren’t the only ones who went through pain. Though that may be true, but to say that then turn around and say that the white girl was selfish for them crocodile tears doesn’t make sense to me. I don’t watch the show but based of what you’re saying, especially her living in Mississippi and just how the “poor white woman” act been played over and over again. I’m not going to accept that she was clueless at the moment she’s not dumb she’s playing weak to dilute the struggles we face and those women felled for it.
But I Agree. And he's very correct. I think people just want him to go in on the white girl and give her no credit or see her perspective. Hes fair. Thats why I love him
I agree, that wasn't the time say we aren't the only ones who go through pain. We know that we're not and never said we were. You never hear no other race get told that. It's that narrative as to why this man up in Michigan who is running for Gov. is saying if he gets elected he'll [try] to remove Black History Month.
@@shabunkshabang1375 Fair enough but is not above reproach.
Antoinette's ex-husband is from Forest, Mississippi, and his father was a dentist there. Antoinette's first dental practice was with her husband in that town. Forest is a small town about 50 miles east of Jackson and is very different. Trying to deal with an interracial marriage in a small town like that would be far more difficult than in the Jackson Metro area. Interracial relationships aren’t that common in Jackson, but they’re not unusual neither, but Forest is an entirely different story. You’re more likely to see interracial marriages on the Gulf coast (Gulfport/Biloxi)
Welp she’s a dummy for staying in the South. There’s 49 other states. I date interracially are not stupid enough to live in the South, Midwest or the East. Best to live in the West if you want a life you can enjoy. 🤷🏽♀️
@@shord140 Imagine everyone running to the west just because of dating preferences.
Km
@@shord140 it’s plenty of Interracially relationships in the Midwest and East lol
@@shord140 The west has it to especially AZ. My cousin and his wife deal with it in Surprise/Sun City area all the time. It's a reason why they JUST started acknowledging MLK Day 15 years ago.
So on point per usual!! I was so disappointed that Kaylon would have the audacity to get on TV playing the victim as the typically do but to act like she was so oblivious to the issues at hand. It was the same “privileged” response we always get. Pathetic
Marie got some serious issues she batshit crazy frfr!😳
The show sucks. Carlos needs to go back to the drawing board. This ain't it. Like you said, it's good background noise.
Or maybe no Carlos at all on these black reality shows. Haven't we had enough of his perspective?!? I knew from the previews, this show had low production value and was basically contrived trash.
As someone from Jackson, Mississippi, this show is as tired, thrifty, through, and delayed as the city itself. There's a lot of good there, but there's a whole lot of bad too (poverty, jealousy due to the sharp economic stratification, crime as a result of said poverty and jealousy, limited mindsets due to the lack of good education and lack of exposure to different things), and it reflects in the production and attitudes of the women on the show. They're really trying to portray something that they're not, and trying to portray Jackson as something that it’s is not. I left there almost 20 years ago and only come back to visit family every now and then and leave ASAP.
We should invest in our people. This is not a criticism @assaultislove
@@louise-yo7kz I agree, but it’s going to take a whole hell of a lot to get things going in Jackson. Not only are the issues of poverty, crime, and divestment an issue, but Jackson has to deal with a hostile, mostly white and republican state government who really have no desire to help improve Jackson and do what they can to improve the place - they’re pretty much waiting for all the black people to either leave or kill each other TBH. Unlike Atlanta (which deals with similar circumstances being in Georgia) there’s not a huge corporate base or a critical mass of creative people or moneyed people who can overshadow that. The locals are also pretty resistant to any changes and improvements that could be made, and there’s far too much infighting between black people in the city to really look at the big picture and take care of the business at hand. Mississippi is also mostly rural and agrarian, doesn’t have much industry attracting people from out of state to relocate there, plus most people in the state look to Memphis and New Orleans as their “big cities” to go to and really don’t check for Jackson like that. A lot of people in the state live closer to Memphis or New Orleans and they’re easier to get to for them than Jackson is. The only way I see Jackson having a boom or a sustained period of growth is when other southern cities get too expensive to live in and people look to places like Jackson. I predict Memphis is going to have a mini-boom because Nashville has gotten really expensive and a lot of locals have left for other cities that are cheaper. But there’s going to have to be a united front between the local government in Jackson and the State government of Mississippi to really turn things around in terms of attracting high-paying jobs, educated people, and people with deep pockets.
No lie Carlos king is like the tyler Perry madea with the reality TV show genre
"You are so right about Marie son, He should be taking care of his OWN CHILDREN!!!
"YOUR hair is so big...its so big." LMAO! I don't know why that's so funny.
It made me laugh out loud too!! 😂😂
It’s so country!!! I’m like if I hear another old ass person holler about I’m a boss, I’m a boss, I’m going to scream!!! Ughh it’s tacky
Kaelon said a lot of inaccurate things. Especially her saying her great great great grandfather is Jefferson Davis. He was the president of the confederate and own slaves... I’m sure she knows this! She said white ppl don’t talk about black ppl is a lie that didn’t sit well with me. I also didn’t like Antoinette said she won’t allow them to hurt her when they didn’t say anything that was about her.
Yeah that's why I'm not the biggest Antoinette fan. That's where she lost me. She also lost me when she tried to diminish the colorism conversation as if to say it's not a real thing.
@@trackgrad08 exactly. Anything that’s odd is it’s clear she loves white men but doesn’t want biracial children?! I don’t get that. She has a lot to work through
Yes Marie is certainly setting her son and his baby mommas up for failure. As a single mom, I would never support my child's bad decision.
Yes. This is a set up for failure. Marie has it all wrong. When she starts saying no, there will be hell to pay. He’s gonna get mad bc everything will fall on him, then she’ll only see those kids on holidays if that.
I’m here for Marie’s “real” storyline!!! 3 grandkids all under the age of 1 and a cheating ex husband that she married again because he looks good in a suit lol
She’s the only person that’s has a genuine storyline
@@KayKayLuv No she’s not Lol smh
He sure does look gooodt
🤣
Marie remarried that man because he’s a great babysitter🤣🤣🤣
Marie’s son is going to be a problem.
He already is a problem
Marie and her son are low budget Nene & Bryson. It's like Marie watched RHOA and said that's how to be a star!!
I can’t understand why they were running behind Kaylon the white friend, coddling her. I can’t understand why she needed to be comforted in that moment when the majority of white people have no problem making minorities feel uncomfortable with the things they say. I can’t understand why she was invited in the first place, then the nerve of her getting upset and walking off crying. ‘We don’t talk about y’all like that.’ GIRL WHAT?!
I think the problem is it’s not a true group of friends. It’s usually 2 that are true friends and everyone else friend of friends so yea I know you. You gotta get ladies that are all friends that way it will have a more genuine feel
Not sure why Kaylon was even invited to the brunch.
Kaylon fake color blindness is disrespectful. Nothing likeable about her. Am I missing something?
RIGHT!!!!! I was triggered! She was a full racist. She is in MS and is not oblivious to racism at all.
No, you're not missing nothing.
That episode with the wig was crazy....Marie start talking about the wig at a classy event only to say later that Latrice was trying her....but she’s the one the started the conversation and was rude about it. I’ll watch another few episodes but I’m like you I’ll catch it when I catch it....it’s not that interesting
Ahahahaha "your hair is so big, so big" I'm dying because I was thinking the same thing
There is a reason why the Teen Mom franchise is on after 20 years. They chronicle the women and their lives separately. The world continues to watch, be engaged, and want to see more from them. They only interact during the reunions. This formula is working. Teen Mom is coming on for the upteenth time; and the world still watches.
U can really tell when Dineva don't care for a show 😬 yall stop telling him what to watch n let him do his thing cause this the driest video he's ever done... no songs, no catch phrases, no slapping 5s... just blah
Marie is enabling her son's behavior. He doesn't have a care in this world! She is setting him up for failure. Imagine him having more kids 😑
Why Marie son going off to college for I am sorry sir but you have 3 kids it’s to late to be living the college boy lifestyle. Time to grow up my man
Marie ppl!? Marie ppl?! Why y’all ain’t tell her not to go down to the reality tv acting IGNANT!😂😂😂😂
I’ll say this, please don’t judge nor compare All PEOPLE by Reality Shows on air in their City or State! WE are not all the same!

Agree
Dat part💯
You are definitely different Tara
Q wasn't in the mood to review this damn show but he came thru for the viewers lol 😂
Q, that's nice of you to give Kaylon that much grace.. But, she most definitely knew what she was doing in that moment with those fake tears.. I was not falling for it one bit! I looked up Kaylon's great great father - Jefferson Davis. Remember Antoinette said Kaylon's family do not treat or talk about black ppl in a bad manner... Well according to Google he was a SLAVE OWNER and a CONFEDERATE president... Her family is still rooted in this.. IMO Kaylon is a typical Karen!!!! She thought her tears were enough to shift the focus of the conversation to another topic (which it didn't). Also, I think that was part of the reason she came for Marie like that, just another white tactic to shift the conversation..
Exactly she came for Marie because Marie didn't buy into her narrative and wasn't swayed by her white tears.. Kaylon wasn't looking to gain understanding of those womens plight she was looking for them to compromise on their feelings and grant her a pass for being a "good white lady."
@@lulubird8636 Best explanation in this thread!
Oddly I like Antoinette separately from the group. She is an accomplished young woman, but she's quite elitist. I feel she feels that since she's the most "educated", she's the most supreme. She loves to acknowledge how she's always the minority in all of the spaces that she occupies, yet she will quickly become an apologists as well as downplay the experience of other black people in the south. But like you said, this probably isn't her ideal group, and maybe her full self isn't being shown.
Dang, I didn’t THINK about her & “Big BIKEE” Essie Messin around🤔... 😂
😆 🤣 😂
By episode 2 I did like🤔🍑✂️👍🏽
🤣🤣🤣
@@alexislewis1079 😂😂😂
I grew up in a small town in East Texas. The fact that these black women even had this white woman at the brunch didn't sit well with me. And if she was gonna attend, she should have just sat there and took in her friends experience and not make it about her. I also feel that a true friend/sister/supporter would have took control of that situation; meaning Antoinette should have removed her and her white buddy bc that's HER friendgirl and the other one should have took back control of her luncheon. Marie should not have had to do that but she stepped in bc the that's her friend and it was about something greater than a white woman having a breakdown. I guess we all have our opinion and views on this.
Yes Marie knew as a proper hostess and someone looking to raise funding, her friend couldn't approach the situation in the way it needed to he handled. Marie's approach wasn't the best but honestly she needed to be dismissed and attention needed to go back to "Black Things"
Kahlans response and temperament was very reminiscent of Oprah’s scene in the color purple when the lady she was serving drove her to see her children for Christmas dinner....
Kaylon talked shit, cried those "white woman tears" and played the victim and should've been checked. Antoinette should've left her at home. Marie is miserable. Latisha should just stop having brunches. That pank lipstick is horrible on Tambria. 🤣Glad to see a new setting on reality tv. Show isn't bad and has potential
Yeah kaylon is silly
I agree with everything you said up until that last sentence...... this show is HORRIBLE 😂😂😂😂😂
@@MsMiaJames 🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂 I laughed so hard at the Marie breakdown.
Funky that’s the first thing I thought about Marie and Essie. Matching haircuts and everything.
I hollered when he said leave that Pynk lipstick alone 😝😝😝😝
“Ol Country Assss” 🤣🤣🤣
I do NOT like this show. Terrible representation of My beloved Mississippi.
Mississippi is a terrible state so this show is helping it look better. I lived there before and it was awful.
I was thinking the same. Like dam can we not do better. Live from GULFPORT
I just don’t understand how Marie brags about being educated and a multi millionaire but yet she is always ruining the brunches ... giving love and hip hop wanna be tea’s
This was a wonderful review FD! Spot on observation of Kaylon, but I actually appreciated Marie interupting her white tears during the brunch. This was a good opportunity for her to sit back and listen...not justify her privlege!
