Atlanta Exes (Things get better before they get worse!!!)

Atlanta Exes get's better each week.  This weeks episode was very heartfelt if I do say so myself.  Torrei decided to set her differences ALL THE WAY aside and once again help Tomeka with one of her business ventures.  Torrei, who seems to like things organized and planned out became frustrated yet again when she realized Tomeka's lack of planning for her latest event.  For Tomeka to have an assistant, she is sure seeming like she is wasting her money if he is being paid.  But that's another story...





Monyetta Shaw (Neyo's ex) had some concerns about no longer being able to give birth to children since she and her former fiancee agreed they didn't want anymore children together.  The sad thing about her situation is that she and Ne-Yo are no longer together.  Monyetta is heartbroken that she may not be able to conceive a child with a future prince charming.  Monyetta visits her doctor who surprisingly has great news for her.  The Doctor made her aware that he could reverse her procedure and that there was a high chance of it being possible for her to have more children.  In fact he told her the chance was 85%!  I'm sure most people watching felt for Monyetta and were almost as happy as she was to find out the possibilities!  God will work when you don't even realize it!!

Christina has been having some doubts about her decision to break things off with Willie.  I was so happy to see that she had doubts.  I personally think that when a person has chemistry with someone they should give it a try.  Christina has admitted to being attached (for lack of a better word) to her ex husband Cee Lo, but after hearing the news that Cee Lo may be engaged, I think her reality kicked in.  Cee Lo is telling her who she can and cannot see, but he is engaged???? What a jerk!  lol but seriously though, Christina decided that she needs to be open to dating so that she can move on, and why not try it with a guy she connected with!  Willie oozes charm and confidence, and Christina clearly melts when she is around him.  All 6 foot 8 of Willie may be a new look for Christina, and it looks good!!  Cee Lo had the nerve to tell her she was't allowed to date Willie!!! LOL That is because he know his little ass can't do nothing with him! HaHa I'm only kidding, OR AM I?? Let's keep watching to see how this love triangle pans out!


Sheree had some emotional drama going on with her father.  Sheree and her father have been estranged for the last 15 years.  She wasn't even sure if her father was alive or not.  After traveling to Madison, Ga where
she last knew her father to be, Sheree was on board an emotional roller coaster.  She met a first cousin who told her that her father was back living in Kentucky and after reaching out to family members she was able to find her Dad.  Thankfully he was doing better than she had been forewarned and although he suffered some memory loss, he knew exactly who his daughter was.  This mad Sheree very happy and we all watched as she shared a beautiful moment with her father at the senior residence where he is living.


Next week the drama will pock back up, so try to let this weeks episode marinate so that we can remember that there are some positive things about the show that we do like!!  Sometimes I like to carry on, but I think I said it all for now... You may have heard it here and there... but right here you heard the best, and
that's because....

Atlanta Exes (Could there be peace???)

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...

ATLANTA exes

First there were the HOLLYWOOD exes...

Now VH1 presents you all with ATLANTA exes.  Is anyone excited for this show?? I am more intrigued than anything.  I follow Hollywood exes and it was interesting to hear from the ex wives of superstars and hear about their relationships and how they felt being with a super famous husband. We got a lot of heartfelt stories from the women of Hollywood.  They have all been separated from their men for a number of years and most of them have remained co-parents to their children.   

Well the Atlanta Ladies are all more recently separated from their men so these stories will  probably stir up more emotion and also may cause the men to talk!!! We have here The ex wife of Usher,Tameka Raymond. Ne-Yo's ex fiancée, Monyetta Shaw is cast.  Christina Johnson the ex wife of CeeLo Green.  Kevin Hart's ex wife Torrei Hart joins the cast as well as Sheree Buchanan, Ray Buchanan's ex.  All of the ladies aren't very well known, but when it comes to their men EVERYBODY KNOWS! 

Secrets will be revealed, and I'm sure some lies will be told.  Either way this show seems like it's about to get juicy!!!  What do you guys think???? I guess we will have to tune in to  Atlanta exes premieres August 18, 2014 on VH1!
