We start with Brooke outing Nikki for possibly having sex with Solo Lucci, and I’m stuck wondering how old we are. Then we go to my favorite telenovela star, Brooke Valentine, and her many storylines. This is an odd conversation with a genuine apology. I’m guessing she’s changing wigs, but who can really be sure. For some reason, Kimberly initiates this conversation in the comfort of the green room. Kimberly’s point is that she doesn’t want there to be tension between her and Teairra. I know we fight.” If you’re not from either of those places, you may be wondering what in the world she means. Kimberly apologizes to Teairra for meeting with Akbar, saying, “You’re from Detroit, I’m from Memphis. Next, we go to a brief exchange between K. The producers choose their star, and just like that, Akbar is gone. Backstage, she demands that the producers pick her or them, because she will not sit through this abuse for a second longer. Ultimately the conversation between Teairra Marí and the three stooges ends when she storms offstage, overwhelmed by the blatant lies they scream while staring her straight in the eyes. I believe that is the worst thing to come out of any Love & Hip Hop reunion. Teairra Marí’s character was defamed with their assertions that she leaked the revenge porn, that she knew Akbar was polyamorous, and that she needed Akbar for her success. But worst of all, Teairra Marí (and any victims of revenge porn in the audience) see that Akbar’s punishment for her yearlong torture is a platform on one of cable’s most popular reality shows. She must watch the man who allegedly leaked intimate videos of her play the victim in a story in which he’s clearly the antagonist. I just hope these women find themselves before he robs them of their best years.īut mostly I feel bad for Teairra Marí, who is forced by production to confront her abuser for viewers’ entertainment. I’m not sure what this man has to offer her, but it’s certainly not worth going to prison for.

And their little arrangement gets even worse when Alejandra openly states that she’ll gladly go to jail for Akbar over the revenge porn case. I don’t know what happens behind closed doors, but from a viewer’s vantage, he’s got these women with independent thoughts and feelings and experiences arguing over him on national television. So when Not Sade and Alejandra pledge their allegiance to this man they claim has changed their lives for the better, I just feel sad.

Many may be be deceived by his light eyes and bright smile, but this man reads as a textbook manipulator to me. There’s not an ounce of me that ever believed Akbar had good intentions. But the more he spins his web of lies, the clearer it becomes that he preyed on a vulnerable Teairra Marí when she was fresh out of rehab.

On one beige polyester couch, Akbar claims that he took Teairra in because he wanted to fix a broken woman. Unsurprisingly, their argument goes nowhere fast, because no one can agree on the truth. We start part two of the reunion with Teairra Marí coming face to face with Akbar and his cronies, Not Sade and Alejandra, for the first time since the revenge porn scandal broke on television.
