02x02 - Mikkie and Dale

[bunniefuu]

No!

♪ Yeah I've been hiding in
plain sight this whole time ♪

[Travis Mills] You've
met the love of your life.

I looked in her eyes and
I just saw my other half.

[Rahne Jones] But they're
hiding a massive secret ... you.

Have you ever met
anyone in his family?

No.

He blocked me from
his social media.

I need to meet
someone in your life.

I'm Rahne Jones.

And I'm Travis Mills.

[Rahne] We help desperate people
who are being kept secret

find out why.

Why are you hiding me?

I need answers or this is it.

[Travis] Will relationships
survive?

How could you do this to me?

I had to call these
people to help me.

[Travis] When faced
with the truth?

Oh, hell, no.

I can't do this, I can't.

Just one second, hey, hey, hey.

Get the [bleep] out of my house.

[Travis] This is MTV's

Help, I'm In A
Secret Relationship.

[music]

[Travis] Tonight, we're in
Atlanta with Mikkie and Dale,

who've been dating
for a year and a half.

Mikkie still hasn't
met any of his family.

He's like, meeting you is
just not their first priority.

Whoa.

[Travis] Dale thinks he's on a
show about entrepreneurs,

but we're here to get
Mikkie some answers.

To you, it seems
like I'm hiding Mikkie.

To me, it seems like
you guys are trying to

ruin my relationship.

He's unfaithful.

Have I treated you like
you're not good enough?

Yes.

This is about to be bad.

[Rahne] We are in Atlanta.

One of my favorite cities.

And guess what I got for you.

Don't [laughing].

Peaches [laughing].

-Oh, thank you, Rahne.
-You're welcome.

[Travis] This city is
like so full of hustlers and

entrepreneurs, and people
kind of forging their own path.

[Rahne] Yeah.

[Travis] And speaking of people
forging their own paths,

we got contacted by Mikkie,
a business owner

who's been with her boyfriend
for over a year.

Within six months of being
together, they move in together.

Wow, so that was quick.

My name is Mikkie Tiquir'a.

I'm a licensed esthetician.

I am 30 years old and I
live in Atlanta, Georgia.

Oh, my favorite, oh my God.

You are just too sweet.

No other guy compares to
Dale, nobody I've ever dated.

Like, this is different.

Like, he knows how
to keep you laughing.

To more success.

More deals.

More deals and more orgasms.

[Mikkie] Dale is Team Mikkie.

Every dream that I have,
I literally see him

focus on making it happen.

Not to get all mushy, but I'm
just really thankful for you.

Dale is really consistent when
it comes to my daughter, Maliah.

He has been like a
father figure in her life.

So she will be out by like 3:00.

Can you pick her up today?

Oh, so that's what you think.

You want me to pick her
up from school today.

No, for real, no, I'm
really thankful for you.

Oh, that's what it was.

[Dale] My little baby.

Like, she really adores you.

I'm just happy I could
be there for you guys.

[Mikkie] My goal would just be
for us to, like, get married,

grow, continue to open
different businesses,

and just be a power couple.

But something's wrong.

I don't know his family
in New York.

He goes to New York
all the time.

That's where he's from, that's
where his whole family is,

but he never takes me
when he goes.

Why can't I go?

That's all I'm asking.

Mentally and emotionally, this
is really affecting me because

my daughter is involved.

For the most part, I feel
like I'm his whole world.

But when it comes to New York,
it's just always the excuse.

Mikkie, I'm going to handle
some business with my family.

If I had time to take you,
I would take you.

[Mikkie] Honestly, I have
reached my limit with Dale.

If I don't get the truth
from Dale, then I'm out.

And you know, any time
there's a child involved,

it just raises the stakes.

Yeah, it's important.

We're going to
find out some stuff.

It's probably going to be juicy.

I'm excited to meet her and
I'm excited to taste this peach.

That's a good peach.

I'll see you in Atlanta.

-Mikkie?
-Nice to see you.

I'm Mikkie.

-I'm Rahne, nice to meet you.
-Hi Rahne.

-Travis, nice to meet you.
-Thanks for having us.

Of course, welcome to the
famous DreamBody Studio.

Whoa, it is beautiful,
congratulations.

So we're still building it.

We just got this location,
but can I show you around?

Give us a tour.

We do medical weight loss,
body sculpting.

We do a lot of things that help
women, you know, lose weight.

Get summer ready.

All right.

-[Travis] Should we take a seat?
-[Mikkie] Of course.

[music]

Why don't you fill us in on
everything that's been going on

in your life,
especially with Dale.

So me and Dale has been dating
about a year and a half now and

it's a wonderful relationship.

We're known as like a
power couple here in Atlanta.

We make a lot of moves.

We just purchased this building.

All right, look at you.

So this is new,
though, for you guys.

This is brand new,
brand-new, yeah.

You and Dale got
this building together.

[Mikkie] Yes.

What is his role
in your business?

When it comes to DreamBody,
DreamBody is all mine.

But when it comes to, you know,
owning property,

that's what we're
building together.

So you're building like
the structure,

real estate portfolio.

That's the goal to have
properties everywhere.

So what exactly does Dale do
outside of, you know,

of this with you?

Basic taxes, bookkeeping for
like million-dollar companies.

He's like a financial advisor.

Yeah, he knows everything
about business.

And he's a provider,
he's super caring.

When it comes to our
relationship, Dale is wonderful,

I'll be honest.

He will pop up with gifts and
show his love, his affection.

Like, he's really involved
in my daughter's life.

My daughter's four.

Before Dale, it was
just me and my daughter.

He's been so good to me.

It's amazing.

♪ Never gonna let you go ♪

♪ Never, never, never, never
gonna let you go ♪

I've been dealing with guys

where I'm like the second
or third girlfriend.

It's just, yeah, I've been
through a lot of things.

With Dale, it's just me.

Where is the
discrepancy coming in?

So, it's just one thing.

Like, his family is in New York,
that's where he's from.

So when he goes to
New York, I never go.

I never meet his family, like,
that's like the only thing.

[music]

Hmm.

Okay.

Has he met your family?

Yeah, my whole family loves him.

So you have not met anybody?

It's been a year and
like six months now, yeah.

[Rahne] Do you talk to them
on the phone?

When he gets on the phone with
them, he steps out of the room.

Okay.

And have you
asked him about this?

Like, hey, when can
I go to New York?

[Mikkie] It's a constant issue.

So he just kind of either
brushes it off or say,

what is the issue, you know?

[Travis] When he's in New York,
do you two communicate?

Does he call, does he text?

He'll text every now and then,
but that's about it.

[Rahne] What are his excuses?

[Mikkie] He's like, oh, my
family has a lot of businesses

to run, so meeting you is
just not their first priority.

Whoa.

He's saying that his family
is way important and

their businesses are more
important than meeting you?

Pretty much.

-Okay.
-That is rude AF.

What are some things that
you think could possibly be

happening when Dale's
taking these trips?

What if he has, like,
a girlfriend up there?

Dale used to be like a man
wh*re, like, he'll tell you.

Like, everyone kind of knows
that, but when it came to me,

he says, like, I've changed.

So is that kind of not true?

Mm-hmm.

Or what if he has, like,
a secret business

he doesn't want
me to know about?

And maybe he thinks I'm gonna
force him to share it with me?

I don't know.

[Travis] This is kind of the
last piece of the Dale puzzle,

right?

You've brought him
into your family dynamic.

He knows your ... like, your
entire family, your daughter.

But now it's like, to become
a real family,

he needs to step up.

Yeah.

Like, you know everything about
us and we're just in the blind.

[Travis] It's high stakes.

[Rahne] With you having a child,
it signifies that you care about

Dale and you think this is a
person that is worthy of

your love and your
daughter's love.

Yeah.

My stomach hurts when I'm trying
to think about, like,

is he being honest, is he not?

I have to know.

I want to make sure this is
something that's gonna be

long-term so we can
just move forward.

You obviously don't deserve
to be put in this position,

and we will hit the ground
running.

Make sure you take it
easy for a little bit.

Try and relax as best you can.

[Mikkie] I will, I will.

Thank you so much.

[Rahne] I don't care if
you're the president

of the United States.

You can get on the phone and say
hello to your son's girlfriend.

That excuse is
quite frankly [bleep].

I mean, you know, is
Mikkie a side chick?

This was like number one
on Mikkie's theory, right?

She even mentioned before that,
you know, Dale was a bit

out there, promiscuous.

It is possible that he
hung up the jersey,

you know what I mean?

And he's going to
New York for work.

So it's very suspicious.

And then theory two, the
business of it all, right?

What if in New York City,
there's like a whole other

business that he does
not want her involved in?

I think we take a
look at Dale's socials.

Sure.

I want to know who
the hell this guy is.

Truly.

[Rahne] Dale,
"business consultant.

[Travis] MBA, CPA.

[Rahne] There's Mikkie.

[Travis] This is
so unique, right?

Because Mikkie is
all over his page.

They're taking couple photos,
he's posting her.

He's tagging her.

-He's not hiding her there.
-No.

[Rahne] Let's see what
these people have to say.

"I love y'all," okay.

Everybody seems so supportive
of them being together.

[Travis] "How beautiful you guys
are, so beautiful,

this is so cute,
I'm happy for y'all."

[Rahne] Heart emojis.

Uh-oh.

Look at that, Kimberly, "Why?!"

[Rahne] Is this person being
like, why Mikkie?

Like, why would you choose her?

Who are you, Kimberly?

[Both] NYC!

[Travis] Send her a message.

[music]

[Host] Coming up.

You think this could be,
like, political.

He's a Trump supporter.

She [bleep] hung up on us.

I had to call these
people to help me.

Do you know, like, how desperate
I had to be to do that?

I don't got to
explain myself to you.

Get the [bleep] out of my house.

[breaking glass]

♪ Got it, I get it, I love it ♪

♪ Can never have
too much of it ♪

[Rahne] We're in Atlanta with
Mikkie and her boyfriend, Dale,

who has been hiding her from his
family for a year and a half.

Mikkie texted us suggesting
we talk to her mom, Monica,

so we're on our way to
meet up with her now.

[Monica] Hello.

[Rahne] Hi, we're looking
for Monica?

-Hey.
-How are you?

How you doing, I'm Rahne.

-So nice to meet you.
-Travis.

How you doing?

[Monica] Thank y'all for coming.

[Travis] Thanks for having us.

I went to hair school myself.

Yeah, I'm a licensed
cosmetologist.

I can't do what you do, though.

I never did hair.

Once I got my license, I
just never did it again.

-Okay.
-[laughing]

I am so glad you all
came to help Mikkie.

I feel like you have a lot of
things that you want to

get off your chest, as
far as Dale is concerned.

-Yes, I do.
-[Rahne] You do?

Okay, all right.

How do you feel knowing
that your daughter is in

a relationship where
essentially she's being hidden?

Of course I don't
feel good about it.

It really hurts Mikkie to
have to deal with that.

She call me all the time about
trying to understand

why Dale won't introduce
her to his family.

Monica, why do you think
Dale is hiding Mikkie?

I think Dale is hiding Mikkie

because he's a Trump supporter.

Dale is into politics
kind of hard.

So you think this
could be, like, political?

I could show you some.

[music]

This would be some of them.

[Dale] I had a powerful lunch
with some powerful people.

Trump National Golf Club, okay.

Lot of fancy cars.

Does she confide in you,
in terms of her

not liking
his political affiliation?

Sometimes she calls,
she's very upset,

because they have had
an argument over politics.

I'm not sure if that has
anything to do with why

he won't introduce
Mikkie to his family.

His fear would be if
he brought her there,

or they were introduced
to Mikkie,

they would have opposing
political views and opinions,

and there would be this
huge expl*si*n.

I think so.

We don't have a lot
to go off of, right?

You are kind of our first call.

I just wonder have y'all
spoke with Ashley,

Mikkie's best friend.

[music]

-Ashley.
-Mm-hmm.

No, we have not, and
that name did not come up.

[Travis] Why do you think
that we should talk to Ashley?

[Monica] Ashley will have a
lot of details, because she and

Mikkie talk more about intimate
things than she do with me.

Do you think there's a reason
why Mikkie didn't tell us

about Ashley?

I don't know why she
didn't talk about Ashley.

[Travis] Because
you know it all.

[Rahne] Moms know.

You can't keep a
secret from mom.

-I know Ashley know.
-[laughing]

Ashley know.

So feel free to text us
Ashley's number.

We'll get in touch with her.

Okay, we're going to
get out of your hair.

Literally.

-Oh my God.
-You walked right into that.

-I did.
-[laughing]

[Monica] Thank y'all for coming.

[Travis] The plot thickens.

Yes, it does.

Here's the thing, with
the politics of it all,

in the climate that we live in,

families have been torn apart,

relationships have ended.

So I hope that Monica's
theory is not the case.

Correct.

But what Mom did say is
that we should talk to Ashley.

Ashley, let's do it.

I'm going to send Ashley a text.

[music]

[Rahne] She better call, too.

All I'm going to say is
there's more going on here

and we're not gonna know
until we talk to Ashley.

Facts.

[music]

[Rahne] Day 2 in Atlanta.

Mikkie's best friend Ashley
got back to us

and we're on our
way to see her now.

[Travis] There's just so much
that we don't know

that Ashley is going to be
able to fill us in on.

It's so weird that Dale
doesn't seem to be, like,

"hiding" Mikkie.

He has her posted on social.

It seems like he's like,
yeah, this is my girl.

I'm proud to have her.

Except not when I'm in New York.

Dale isn't hiding Mikkie
from the world,

he's hiding his world
from Mikkie.

-Travis, boom.
-[Travis] That's what's crazy.

There it is.

[music]

[Rahne] I don't know
what she looks like.

Right here.

[Rahne] Oh, what's up,
how you doing?

-I'm Travis.
-I'm Ashley.

How you doing, I'm Rahne.

I'm Ashley, nice to meet you.

[Travis] Cool if we sit
with you for a second?

Yes.

[Rahne] So Mikkie reached out to
us, and we got your information

from Mikkie's mother.

We found it interesting that
being her best friend,

she did not mention
your name at all.

You ever had that one friend

that's very blunt
and doesn't care?

Hi, that's me.

-[Travis] That's you, okay.
-[laughing]

Okay, so we coming in ...
coming in strong.

Yes.

Do you know anything about,
like, why we're here,

or are you just ...

I understand why
you guys are here.

[music]

We've been friends since
we were like in high school,

so I know the real Mikkie.

This new Mikkie,
I don't know that.

-This new Mikkie?
-[Travis] You said new Mikkie?

Since she's been dating Dale,
she lets him get away with

a lot of things, especially when
it comes to being friends

with his exes.

[Rahne] What do you mean
by that?

[Ashley] A while back, Dale
moved in Mikkie and Maliah.

Couple of weeks after that,
he went out with some friends.

He came back home
with one of his exes

while Mikkie was home.

And Mikkie was in the bedroom.

So when she came out, he was
on the couch with this ex.

And she just confronted him.

He said nothing was going on.

He said they didn't do anything,
it was just friends catching up.

So basically, Mikkie just said
that Dale had

kept apologizing to her.

And I was just like,
that's not like you.

You used to stand up
for yourself.

You used to stand your ground.

What is your deal?

And she's still with him after
not even meeting his family.

Doesn't make sense.

He goes up north
without taking you.

I think he has someone up north.

[music]

He's unfaithful.

[Travis] Okay, so when he goes
to New York, he's not there

for "business," he's going
and seeing another girl?

Yeah.

[Travis] What if
it is businesses?

What if it is conferences?

Okay, why can't he
take Mikkie with him?

It seems like there's an
active effort to keep her apart.

I just hope that
she get the answers

and some truth will
come out of this.

Thank you so much for
giving us your time.

So nice to meet you, Ashley.

[music]

Please take care of my girl.

-[Travis] We got you.
-[Rahne] We will.

[music]

[Travis] What I loved about
Ashley is that

she was just so real.

[Rahne] Best friends know.

Ashley really thinks that
Mikkie is getting cheated on.

Yeah.

Dale is taking these trips to
New York and not bringing her

with him, and it just spells
something shady is going on

in New York.

She's probably the best person
that we could have talked to,

right, because ...

[phone ringing]

New York.

Hi, this is Travis and Rahne.

[Rahne] Yes, we did.

We work on a show with MTV
about relationships,

and we are working with
Mikkie and Dale.

And we saw that you had
commented on

one of his photos with her.

Are you located in New York?

Do you know Dale from New York?

[music]

Okay, um, here's the deal.

Mikkie reached out to us because
she has not met the family

at all.

[music]

What do you mean?

[music]

[phone beeping]

She [bleep] hung up on us.

[breaking glass]

[breaking glass]

[music]

[Travis] We're in Atlanta trying
to help Mikkie uncover

why her boyfriend Dale
is hiding her.

I feel weathered.

[Travis] After a shocking call
from a woman named Kimberly,

whose connection to Dale
is unclear,

we know Dale is hiding
something major.

[music]

Look I say we ...
we dive right into it.

Let's dig up Kim's profile
again from Dale's socials.

[music]

[Travis] You know, she looks
like how she sounds

on the phone.

Like, this is someone
that would hang up on us.

[Rahne laughs]

I want to see if
Dale follows Kimberly.

So Dale's last name
is Ferdinand.

Type that in, and
Dale follows Kimberly.

Of course.

She gave you,
like, some addresses.

You know what?

Let's ... let's just do it.

[music]

Look up these addresses here.

Union Street,
Brooklyn, Ferdinand.

Oh, look at that.

Miss Ferdinand.

Who owns the property?

Let's look and see what
this thing looks like.

Oh, so that's that one property.

The other one was Ocean Avenue.

Ocean Avenue, okay, Ocean
Avenue, Brooklyn, Ferdinand.

[music]

Okay.

-Is that a church?
-It's a church.

-Do they own a church?
-Do they own a church?

Let's see what this
church looks like.

[Travis] Damn!

Like, do they own the
real estate of the church?

Like, they got all these
apartments,

they got all these properties.

Does that mean Kim is
in business with Dale?

Yeah, like is Kim who the
family thinks Dale is with?

Sure.

And is Mikkie
girlfriend number two?

You know what, I have a feeling
Dale is bringing Kim up into

this church, praising the
Lord on Sunday, and then ...

Going back home ...

Going back to Atlanta,
being with Mikkie.

I think we can kind of
approach this tomorrow.

[Rahne] We got a lot to tell
Mikkie and I'm honestly

not looking forward to it.

And I don't know how
I feel about Mr. Dale.

-Hi.
-How's it going?

-Morning, hi.
-How you doing?

[Rahne] So first and foremost,

I want to ask you
how you're doing.

[music]

Honestly, I'm not doing good.

I didn't sleep last night.

I just ... I want answers.

We did a little digging.

The first person that we
talked to was your mom.

She seems to think that
the reason

he's not bringing you
around is because

Dale and his family are
Trump supporters,

and you are not.

[music]

[Mikkie] Honestly, we've
had big fights about it.

We, you know, we went at it
about it, but I just feel like

it's not worth
hiding me, you know?

Sure.

Like, I never thought of that,
but I don't know.

Well, we also asked your mom
if there was anyone else

that she thought
we should talk to.

And immediately she said Ashley.

[music]

Like, her and Dale,
they don't get along.

So I wouldn't go really
off what Ashley says.

So we did talk to Ashley,
and to be honest,

she shed a lot of light
on to your situation.

What did she say?

She mentioned that there was a
time when Dale had gone out

with an ex-girlfriend.

And we're past that.

I talked with Dale,
we're past that.

-That's small, you know?
-[Rahne] Okay.

I know what we're building and
I just didn't want to ruin

our big plans for
something like that.

Like, I kind of,
I let it go, so.

Ashley brought that information
to our attention simply because

she cares for you.

She knows your history of
being cheated on

and she just wants the best.

And she just felt like maybe
you were being a bit passive

in that moment because of,
you know, your past.

Yeah.

This is probably kind of the
biggest thing that we found out.

We went to Dale's social media,
and we went to one of the posts

with you and Dale and we
found a comment on there.

It was this woman
named Kimberly.

Okay.

And all it said was "why."

Okay, I didn't see that.

We clicked on the profile
and she lives in New York.

[music]

So is that who he's dating
in New York?

-Well, we just don't know.
-We don't know.

We sent her a message and
she ended up calling us.

We asked how does she know Dale?

She said no comment.

[music]

And she said, and I quote,
"Dale is not a one-woman guy."

Okay, I feel sick.

[music]

She said, "If Dale wants
to date Mikkie,

he can kiss the properties
in Brooklyn goodbye."

[music]

[Mikkie] So he's basically
building with someone

in New York, like he's
doing down here.

[Travis] We don't know.

It seems like the same thing
as us,

we're building
business together,

so I assume he's doing
the same with her in New York.

She hung up on us.

Oh, I feel like ... I feel
like I'm gonna be sick, okay.

I guess from our perspective,
we kind of hit, you know,

a dead end here.

[music]

At this point, I'm really done.

He can go build with her
and we're over.

I appreciate you helping me,
but I just ... I can't see him

right now.

I don't know what I would do,
to be honest.

So we're going to talk to Dale.

I could give you my address.

I know he's at home.

[Travis] So if we can convince
Dale to sit down with you,

would you be willing to do that?

[music]

[Mikkie] Possibly.

[Rahne] All right.

[music]

All righty.

[music]

[Rahne] Okay, this
is anxiety-inducing.

To Dale's house we go.

[Rahne] We're in Atlanta

Dale still thinks he's on a
show about entrepreneurs.

We're on our way to let him know
what show he's really on

and see if he's
ready to come clean.

It's gonna be a
shock to Dale, right?

Obviously, the cameras and
what show he's really on.

We're gonna be
bringing up a lot of his dirt.

The stakes are pretty high here.

I'm a little anxious
about showing up

and rolling up to his
house unannounced.

Like, the pressure's on.

I'm nervous, but I'm also
excited to finally

get to the bottom
of this, because

this one has been
a beast, I will say.

-Dale?
-Hey.

[Rahne] How you doing?

-Travis.
-Okay.

I'm Rahne, nice to meet you.

[Travis] From the TV show.

Oh, oh, okay,
yeah, what's going on?

I'm happy to see you guys.

Want to come on in?

-[Rahne] Please.
-[Travis] Sure.

All right, come on in.

[music]

[Dale] I actually did a
podcast interview earlier.

Got a little bit of a break to
prepare for seminar tomorrow.

-Okay.
-All right.

So tell us a little bit more
about, you know,

the seminars and the podcast?

Yeah, so I run a
consulting company.

We do like business development.

I help them, like, with
loans, lines of credit.

I know it sounds
like a lot, I'm sorry.

I feel like we're
getting pitched right now.

You are a busy man.

I don't really have
too much free time,

so you guys actually came
at the right time to catch me.

So here's the deal.

Yeah, Dale, the reason why we're
here is we're not doing a show

about entrepreneurs.

We're here doing a show
about relationships.

Okay?

[Travis] And we got contacted
by your girlfriend, Mikkie,

because she feels like
you're hiding her.

[music]

Okay, so let me ... let me
just make sure I got this right.

So ... so you guys are
not here to speak to me

about my business?

-Correct.
-Yeah.

Rahne and I have been in Atlanta
for the past few days

kind of running around
trying to put pieces together.

Doing some digging.

Okay.

We saw Mikkie this morning.

I mean, if we're being
brutally honest, she ...

is pretty much at the
end of the rope.

There's a lot of things
that need to be cleared up.

[music]

[Rahne] We know that
Mikkie has not met your family.

[music]

You are basically hiding her
from whatever is happening

in New York.

[music]

So to you it seems like
I'm hiding Mikkie.

To me, it seems like
you guys are trying to

ruin my relationship.

[music]

[Travis] That's not
what we're doing.

[Dale] Then what
would you call it?

Just 'cause somebody
reach out to you,

you start digging into my life.

Guys trying to
ruin my relationship.

[yelling at same time]

Guess what, guess what, hold on.

But wait wait wait wait wait.

I don't gotta
explain myself to you.

[music]

Get the [bleep] out of my house.

Okay, well, we will
absolutely do that.

[Dale] Trying to ruin
my [bleep] relationship?

What type of dumb
[bleep] is that?

[music]

-[Dale] The [bleep].
-[Rahne] Yikes.

[Rahne] He didn't
take that well.

Could have gone better.

[Travis] I mean, he's still ...

Oh, he's bad, I mean, I get it.

You ... you got caught in a lie.

We're in a ... we're
in a weird situation.

Um, I say ...

-Let's call Mikkie.
-Okay.

[phone ringing]

[On phone] "Hello,
you've reached Mikkie."

-sh**t her a text.
-I'll text her.

[music]

Yeah, they're definitely on
the phone fighting right now,

because I can hear him.

God knows what
he's telling her.

[Travis] She's probably
rushing over here.

This is about to be bad.

[breaking glass]

[breaking glass]

[Travis] Lovely day to get
kicked out of someone's house.

Uh, yeah.

[music]

Oh, here's Mikkie, [bleep].

[music]

-Hi.
-Hey.

[music]

Y'all okay?

Uh, we're fine.

He definitely did not like ...

I talked to him, he's okay now.

-He is?
-Yeah.

Um, we can absolutely
go in there with you

if you want us with you?

Okay, are y'all comfortable?

-Yeah, we can do it.
-[Travis] Yeah.

[music]

[Mikkie] Dale?

You're being
really disrespectful.

But like what's going on?

Like, what is all of this for?

[Mikkie] I feel like in order
for me to move forward,

I just want to know
what's going on.

So I just want you to
lay it out,

so I can move on with my life.

If you have
someone in New York ...

What?

Let me know, and me and
Maliah can just move on.

[Travis] I think ... I think if
we can interject for one second.

If we can sit down.

I know that Mikkie has some
questions that she wants to ask.

And Dale, I'm sure that you feel
like you want to explain

and get ...

Get a handle on
everything that's happening.

[music]

[Mikkie] I'll go over here.

[music]

[music]

Dale, I know it's a lot,
but MIkkie called us

because she feels like
you're hiding her.

I want to know what's going on.

Why are you hiding me
from your family?

This is just a big
misunderstanding obviously.

[Mikkie] It's not.

[Dale] Just ... just hold on.

Yeah, you ... I can never speak.

This is the same thing.

I just want to be heard.

I had to call these
people to help me.

Do you know, like, how desperate
I had to be to do that?

Tell him how you
feel right now, Mikkie.

When I first reached out,
it's like, I was broken.

I'm like, I don't have
no other solutions.

So I called them and
they came to help me.

They talked to my mom,
and my mom is saying

maybe because our political
differences.

Could that be it?

[Dale] No, not at all.

Are you kid ... okay.

Look, yes, I'm a Trump
supporter, but my family isn't.

Like, that's just my
personal view,

so why would I let something
like that be the reason

why I would keep
you from my family?

I don't know ...
you constantly lie.

[music]

Do you have a
girlfriend in New York?

[music]

[Travis] So let's get into
New York, right?

You know, we were scrolling
on your social media

when we met Mikkie, and
we saw a lot of your posts.

And we went to a post with you
and her, and you were saying

really nice things about
your relationship

and how you loved her.

We looked at the comments.

There's one comment
that stood out.

It was a comment from
someone named Kimberly.

Right.

[Travis] The comment said "why."

So we clicked on the profile.

-She lives in New York.
- Right.

[Travis] We sent her a message.

Kimberly called us.

She said Dale is
not a one-woman guy.

[music]

So basically this confirms
that you're dating other women.

The biggest concern
about that phone call was

Kimberly hung up on us
after she said this,

"If you want to be with Mikkie,

then the properties
on Ocean Avenue

and Union Street are done."

[Travis] "You can
kiss them goodbye."

"You can kiss them goodbye."

And then she hung up on us.

[music]

It sounds like to me
you're going around

building with different women.

And she said that you're
not a one-woman man, like.

Okay, all right, okay.

I used to talk to a bunch of
different females,

but the reason I stopped
doing that is because

the five females I used to
talk to, right, I maybe liked

one characteristic in
each one of them.

But you have all of those in
one, that's why I stopped that,

right?

And I'm no longer that way.

And see, my family
don't accept that, right?

[music]

Kim is actually my cousin.

You know, it's I guess a relief
to find out, okay,

it's not another girl,
but I really had emotional,

like, distress trying to figure
out what is going on.

[music]

Dale, why are you
hiding me from your family?

[Dale] Mikkie.

[music]

The reason I was hiding you
from my family is because ...

[music]

Don't know how to say this.

[music]

[breaking glass]

[breaking glass]

[Mikkie] Why are you
hiding me from your family?

[music]

[Dale] Mikkie.

The reason I was hiding you
from my family is because ...

[music]

Don't know how to say this.

[music]

My family is Haitian royalty.

[music]

And they would never accept you.

[music]

[Dale] Let me ... let me explain.

So there's a Ferdinand family
of Spain, right?

It was King Ferdinand.

My family is also
the Ferdinand family.

We traced our lineage
all the way back

to King Ferdinand of Spain.

So in the Haitian community,
my ancestors,

they were looked at as royalty.

But during the late '40s,
they came to the States.

They bought a bunch of
properties in New York

and they also bought a church.

And that church, that's where
we started to build, like,

a lot of community-based
organizations.

So amongst that community,
my family is still considered

royalty and high society.

One of the biggest problems
that my family have is that

I didn't marry a Haitian woman.

[music]

A woman that they would choose
for me, that they raised and

groomed and they feel that
is worthy of me being with.

[music]

[Travis] So Dale,
does your family

know about Mikkie?

Some do know.

[Rahne] And what was the
reaction when you told those

members of the family
that do know about Mikkie?

Outcast me.

Don't want
anything to do with me.

So, I'm not good enough,
basically.

That's basically
what you're saying.

[Dale] Did I say you
were not good enough?

[Mikkie] Yeah.

Have I treated you like
you're not good enough?

Yes.

Yes, that's how I feel,
like I'm not good enough.

Wow.

There's tons of properties that
they own that's all set to go to

me by the end of the year,
but just for one small thing ...

because I didn't decide to talk
to a Haitian woman who goes to

my family's church,
they want to cut me out.

[Rahne] Would there ever have
been a time that you would have

been honest?

Like, if it wasn't for us coming
in here, would you have ever

told her?

As soon as the
transfer happened.

[Rahne] Okay, that is a
hard pill to swallow.

[Mikkie] You could have been
saying something.

It would have made this
so much easier.

You don't understand the
stress that's been on me.

I was thinking crazy.

So you let me think that
for so long.

Like, you don't even get it.

Honestly, it's like
I'm numb now.

I don't want to feel
what I feel.

Like, no woman wants
to go through that.

Like, oh, I'm not good enough.

Like, why get with somebody
to make you feel secure

for them to just kind of
stomp on your heart?

Like, you can't meet my family
or my family won't accept you.

Like, it doesn't feel good.

Family is so important to me.

So knowing that I won't be able
to build that bond with your

family, your family won't
probably accept me, Maliah,

like, it's just ... it's a lot.

[Dale] How can I make my family
do something for you

that they won't even do for me?

[Mikkie] Honestly Dale,
I'm just ... I'm over it.

I'm sorry.

[music]

[Rahne] It just sounds like
you're saying you're aware that

Dale can't make his
family accept you.

And you are saying this love
just might not be enough

to withstand all that.

[music]

That's fair.

[music]

She could say,
hey, you know what?

I forgive you,
let's be together,

but something is going
to be defeated ...

I will be hurting every day.

... knowing that your family is
not gonna accept her,

and that is a heavy burden
for someone to carry.

[Dale] I know, but I just hope
this is something that we could

move forward from.

[music]

I don't know what to feel,
to be honest.

I will need time.

[music]

[Travis] Obviously, you two
have a lot more to talk about.

I think Rahne and I are
going to get out of here.

[Rahne] Dale, sorry about it.

Nice to meet you.

-Good luck to you.
-Nice to meet you, man.

[Rahne] Mikkie, it was so
nice to meet you.

[Mikkie] Thank you so much.

Of course, of course.

All right, ya'll.

All right, bye-bye.

[music]

[Rahne] Well, wasn't expecting,
um, a connection

to the King of Spain.

While it's great that, you know,
he's being transparent and

kind of telling her all these
reasons, it's like,

you can't neglect what
you've put this girl through.

She has big things
to think about.

She has her child,
and I truly don't know

where this relationship
is gonna go.

You know, we tried our best.

[Travis] Not every story
has a happy ending.

♪ Don't walk away way babe ♪

♪ I know you're scared
Don't walk away from me ♪

♪ Don't walk away
Don't walk away way babe ♪

♪ I know you're scared
Don't walk away from me ♪

[Travis] Next time.

He blocked me from
his social media.

Yeah...

How do you walk away from
your own flesh and blood?

He's tired of being
a momma's boy.

I can show you what the lady
looks like.

-We met her yesterday.
-What the [bleep]!

Oh, hell no.
Like why?

I'm done.
