If you have been following VH1's latest ratchet reality tv show like I have then you are very aware that I am referring to Atlanta Exes. This show is following the lives and "friendships" of five celebrity Exes which include Tameka Foster, Torrei Hart, Sheree Buchanan, Christina Johnson, and Monyetta Shaw. All of these women were once married to major celebrities, and if you are watching LIKE I AM then you know exactly who. Before I refresh your memories let's get into this.
Last night's episode began where last weeks episode left off. Torrei and Tameka got into a huge argument last week where both ladies said some nasty things to one another!! It almost seemed as if they were worst enemies. Tameka came for Torrei's skin flaws and Torrei came for Tameka's parenting skills and even told her to "kill yourself" and to "lay in a coffin." Now most people watching probably thought not much of the comments because everyone know's that 'kill yourself' has unfortunately just become a figure of speech in today's society. It is sad but true. When that phrase is thrown around it is most likely not meant in the literal sense.
ANYWHO... Christina and the other ladies were able to convince the two, along with them all, to come together for mediation from a third party. They decided to retreat and spend a weekend together where they had lessons from a life coach. With all of the drama, hate, and accusations going around I have to say that it was much needed! The life coach was there, but to me it seemed as if the women quickly realized that they were able to get past the situations and accepted there faults in the arguments. Everything seemed pretty petty at the end of the day anyway.
It was refreshing to see the ladies come to an understanding as quickly as they did. Tameka expressed her contemplating suicide which is why Torrei's comments hurt her the most. Torrei admitted that she aims to hurt people in arguments but never intended for Tameka to feel like she wanted her to commit suicide. I guess that's a reason we should all at least TRY to think before we say things. I knooooowwwwww that is a challenge for me sometimes lol. ESPECIALLY in a heated situation. I'm working on it tho :) I was honestly planning to stop watching this show after last week, but last nigh's episode reeled me back in...Christina Johnson is my favorite cast member. She is really down to earth, and seems to be a good friend. She is the voice of reason in the group. I say that because she speaks up when necessary and she listens to all sides of the story and calls everyone out on their SUGAR HONEY ICE TEA as a friend should! Not only that she is gorgeous!!! I felt bad that Christina wanted to stop dating Willie because of he and Monica's previous encounter. Christina and Willie seemed to have really hit it off! I can understand the discomfort or awkwardness of knowing about his past and being friends with Monica even, but I would let the past be just that. If Monica didn't have a problem with it and she gave her blessing then move forward is what I say. He may have been her treasure! lol
Hopefully these ladies can at least remain cordial. It would be nice to watch a show where black women are being portrayed in a more positive light. NOW I AM NOT SAYING that I don't enjoy ratchet reality tv BECAUSE I DO! I'm just saying that is not the only thing I want to see. Some of these people are actually trying to better themselves and make negative issues into positive ones. These producers need to be more considerate of that. People will watch positive tv if they provide it!
Well I could go on and on but I won't. Thanks for chilling with your boy today. Remember if you didn't hear it anywhere else you know that...
