Today is a big day
for me as a business owner.

I'm hoping this photoshoot
will basically get

my brand more visibility.

I've asked Jerrold to be
the creative director.

Des Vignes is on the rise.

Yeah, come in.

- Hey.
- Hi.

This photo sh**t
is a big deal for Cheryl,

so I wanna show up for her.

She didn't do anything wrong,

so I'm not holding
nothing against her,

but I can't lie

that everything
Jaylenn told me

that happened
at Jerrold's podcast

is really sitting heavy
on my heart.

Which one of y'all
knew Jerrold

was a creative director?

Oh, I thought
he would be here.

Is, like, him being here
making you uncomfortable?

At his podcast,

Jaylenn said he was like,
"Man, I just felt really alone."

They were pretty much
like on Jordan's side.

Y'all can't even hold your own
friends accountable.

I feel like Tylynn, like,

needs to say something
to Jerrold

right here, right now.

Like, let's stop
holding sh*t in.

Just f*cking say
how the f*ck you feel

and get that sh*t off your chest

and just let him know
where he had you f*cked up

and where he had
your man f*cked up.

We're starting with Bri.

Yes.

There we go.

Whoo, hoo, hoo.

Amanda,

let's get you in there with Bri.

- So awkward.
- There we go.

- I told you.
You know what you're doing.

- Is your styling good?
- Yeah, yeah.

All right.

Ty, if you can, move in... yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Okay, think we got it.

[APPLAUSE]

Thanks so much, Cheryl.

- We feel beautiful.
ALL: Yes.

- Hey, Jerrold.
- Are we not done?

Can I talk to you?

What's up?

I wanna say
after I heard

how the podcast went,

my feelings were really,
really hurt.

- Really?
- Really, really hurt,

- Why is that?
- Yeah, I don't know.

Like, I feel like
I know you individually.

And I've known you
for a long time

and the way that I've heard

how that conversation went
with Jordan and Jaylenn,

the whole standing up

and then telling Jaylenn
pretty much like,

"I work harder than you.
That's why I'm here."

That's where it's like,
you're getting disrespectful.

And I'm not taking
any sides in any of this.

- Come on.
- We're having a podcast

at Jordan's house.

Jordan is your best friend.

But I'm saying,
I feel like a little bit

right now it's unfair of you
to like, say that,

like put that on my back

for me, like, saying that
I let Jaylenn be disrespected.

Well, have you followed up
with him at all?

That's not on me for,
to reach out to Jaylenn.

I'm ambushed
with this conversation.

This is obviously something
that Ty's been sitting on,

especially for her
to be coming at me

like I did something wrong.
Like, she wasn't there.

I'm annoyed that all of this
is happening right now

because I don't want Cheryl
to focus on anything

but this photoshoot.

I think we just gonna
have to agree to disagree.

- What's up?
- What y'all talking about?

- We talking about...
- Everything that happened.

Jaylenn and... and Jordan

and how things
got a little heated.

I was just
telling Jerrold, like,

he created this space, right?

He brought these people here.

What I just didn't like was,

at least what was told to me

by Jaylenn and Rob,
who were there,

what specifically
Jordan was saying to Jaylenn.

Yeah, I mean,
we also weren't there

cause I mean,
he told me about it

and I was just like,
Jaylenn should've sat down

and tried to, like,
understand, like,

who Jordan is and, like,
where he comes from

and his background
before trying to, like,

say, "Oh, like, no, like,

this is how you grew up
and X, Y, and Z."

- See, that's not what I heard.
- Telephone.

What I heard was that

he was becoming disrespectful
towards Jaylenn.

Now I'm at the point
where I just don't trust

none of this sh*t.
If I can't bring people I love

into a room with y'all
and trust that

you guys will make sure
he's straight

and that you guys
can have disagreements

and arguments and he's straight,

are we even friends?

This isn't just about me.

This is about
standing up for Jaylenn too.

And if you can't even see
the basis of that

and acknowledge that,

then what kind of person are you

and what are
the relationships around you?

- You okay?
- Yeah, I'm straight.

- b*tch, what happened?
- What the f*ck?

He's, like,
actually a sociopath.

Like, I'm actually concerned.

Okay, so how did
the conversation start?

- Let's start at the beginning.
- I just started off like,

"Yo, you know, I've been,

you know, my feelings
are pretty hurt."

And he's like,
"We're in Jordan's house."

And what showed that
some lies were brought up

is how... what Cheryl told me,
in my opinion,

that Jerrold went home
and told her.

Yeah, she got
a different story than

- basically what we got.
- She got a completely...

Like just went home
and was just like,

Jaylenn on a*s,
doing the most, like...

It's just like,
why do they try

to cape for this man so much?

Like, I don't understand, like
if your friend does wrong, like

tell them that they do wrong
so that they can do better.

Before you had
that conversation

that you were saying, like,
you didn't know if you would

wanna f*ck with them,
so like, how do you feel now?

Oh, I can't trust Jerrold.

- Yeah.

Especially, like, Rock Lee,
you know, Sakura,

'cause people love that...
That tie-dye.

Kinda wanted
to get your advice about

- like a situation I was in.
- So what's going on?

It's about Jerrold's podcast

that we did
at the recent dinner.

- How'd it go?
- It was good and bad.

I feel like the podcast overall
was, like, very helpful.

We talked about,
like, mental health.

Jerrold opened up a bit,
P'Jae opened up a bit.

I also got into
a disagreement with.

Tylynn's boyfriend, Jaylenn,
and it was kinda like...

- What's with that cat?
He seem like he always is, like

in the middle of something
or at least with you.

So this situation,
I felt like I got triggered

because we were talking about...
We were talking about

mental health
and just different,

like, privileges
and things like that.

And I felt personally attacked
'cause he was like,

"Oh, you had a mother

"that had a good job,

and she's the reason
where you are where you are."

- Okay.
- And so I... you know me.

I'm, like, any disrespect,

I'm like trigger immediately,
and I was like, "You know",

"I'm more successful than you
'cause I work harder than you.

"It has nothing to do
with my mom.

Like, don't belittle,
like, the sacrifice."

Then it just became, like,
a constant battle of, like,

"Oh, I was on skid row.
I didn't see you there."

Well, first of all,
I'm interested in

getting some insight on, like,
why you saw it as disrespect.

I grew up, like,
seeing the sacrifice you made

for me and my brother.

To attribute my success

to you wholeheartedly
and, like,

not acknowledge that,
is disrespectful to me.

I think you first
have to acknowledge that

you are where you are because
you have a strong foundation.

Our struggles
were never financial.

They were never social.

You lived in the same house
your whole life.

But I did have a good job
and you have

a incredible family
that is "successful"...

- Yeah.
- In a sense that we're able to

be a model for you.

On some level, he's correct

in a sense that you don't know
that type of struggle,

but what I always say is that

everybody's struggle
is different.

That doesn't devalue
your accomplishment.

I mean, how many
young people can say

that they have went to college,

built this business,

finished college and, you know,

turned, you know,
their hobby into

a multimillion dollar business?

Like I said, it's all relative.

The work is the same, meaning

he's probably working
just as hard,

you working hard,

but you have

something holding you up.

I think after
talking to my mom,

I definitely wanna sit down

and have
a conversation with Jay.

Just her helping me understand

where I was wrong
in the situation or

where I may have misinterpreted
things incorrectly,

you know,
it makes me realize that

he wasn't being malicious.
He was moreso just like,

"Hey, man,
recognize your situation,

and, like,
know that you're blessed."

Honestly, for me,
I think it was just

a misunderstanding
on my part, honestly,

from what it sounds like.
I don't know if I was tripping

or if I was like, overreacting;
I felt like I was.

Sometimes if you power down,

meaning get out of yourself
and don't get triggered by it,

you can also use that
as an opportunity

to educate someone
and help them understand

the depth and breadth
of what struggle can look like

- for different people.
- Yeah.

And don't ever let anybody
throw you off your sh*t.

We're throwing a listening party

for his new artist, Griff,
who's from Inglewood.

- He's on the rise, yes.
It's gonna be tight.

Like, this is gonna be, like,
a live performance of it.

I'm like, this is good for her.

If you want me to get
somebody to come...

Who you want?

Mom, all you got
is the DJ from the GS.

The event
should be good though.

Stacey, definitely come.

Well, I wanna thank you guys
so extremely much.

Ty, I'm so proud of you.

Thank you so much
'cause this is fabulous.

- Food was good, good company.
- Happy birthday.

A toast to Mom's birthday.

- And many more.
- And many more.

And the mother
who brought her here.

ALL: Yes!

- [LAUGHTER]
- Thank you.

- Ty, look at this.
Look.

Jordan just texted me and said,

"Yo, bro, let's sit down soon.

"I want to continue our convo
from the podcast

"and clarify, et cetera.

It's not sitting right with me
how things were left."

I'm curious to see
what he says, but...

Maybe I'll pull up
and check his temperature.

You know, so...

I'ma still be saucy
and a little mean.

I'm not surprised that Jordan
reached out to Jay.

Like, this is something that
we've seen that Jordan has done.

He goes on rants, tantrums,
and he picks up the pieces.

- It is what it is.
If it goes left, it goes left.

Don't let it go
over your head what he said.

- I won't.
If somebody tries me,

- they're trying you.
- Mm-hmm.

Somebody tries you,
they're trying me.

- Mm-hmm.
- Period.

And that's on period,
point blank.

- You know what I mean?
Nobody likes being tried,

but you gonna respect me,
and you gonna, like,

understand, like, my character
at the end of the day.

It ain't on some weird sh*t.

Yeah, you know, we had
to have this discussion, man.

I felt like things were
said wrong at the podcast.

You were disrespected.
I felt disrespected.

I wanna apologize
for saying that

I work harder than you, or that

I'm more successful than you
because I work harder than you.

Never my intention
to disrespect the homies.

That was my emotional reaction
and I'd never...

You know what I'm saying?
Never wanna disrespect you.

Because you work hard, bro.
Obviously.

- Yeah.
I'm like, was I tripping?

'Cause in the moment
I'll be thinking,

knowing what I'm saying, like...

'Cause for me that word
privilege is a trigger,

so it doesn't matter
if you say it.

- Yeah.
- Somebody else say it.

For me, it just doesn't...
It doesn't sit right,

and that's what caused
that reaction.

I felt like everything I've done

had been minimized
to the fact that, like,

my mom did all this,
you know what I'm saying?

Whereas, I worked
for the things that I...

- I've gotten to that position.
- And I could apologize too.

I didn't mean
no disrespect towards...

Your situation

and your struggles
and trials, tribulations,

or like, downplaying your mom.

Like, I never meant to do that.

- Of course.
- You know what I mean?

And I feel like, bro,
that goes into

what the whole topic was about
with mental health, bro.

Like, that's unhealthy
for you to feel like

you being privileged
in certain ways,

just having just a mom there
for you is like a negative.

I think as Black people,
we be wanting to

get it out the mud
and that's the cool thing.

You know, it's popularized...
People popularize

the struggle,
and it's really not something

- to be proud of.
- Yeah, it's really not.

It's a part of a system
that we've been, like,

not able to, like,
gain really, like,

credible success
that we deserve.

There are so many layers
to mental health and depression

that go beyond just finances.

'Cause I'll tell you, for me,
for example, like,

my biggest thing growing up,
it wasn't financial.

I had both parents,

but I don't really have
a relationship with my dad.

That's a piece that
I'm missing, so growing up,

it was like,
I was smoking weed,

I was doing all these
different bad things

when I was in high school.

Almost getting kicked out
of schools, fighting.

Till recently, most of my family

wasn't even supporting me
in business.

Telling me to stop doing it.

"You're wasting your time."

I wish I had a dad
that would be there for me,

but I don't got that piece,
you know what I'm saying?

Bro, I didn't know that
and a lot of the things

are just like,
we just don't know.

And I feel like, bro, this is...
We gotta start

expressing ourselves more.

Like, I'm, like, still trying
to figure that out.

- Same, me too, bro.
- You know what I mean?

Like, emotionally
unintelligent, a lot.

Emotionally unavailable
also too for me.

- Yeah, exactly.
- Ah, man.

You know, we both
on the same page

arguing the same thing,
but from different angles,

but we really didn't
understand each other because

we have two different
experiences growing up.

- You know what I mean?
- Bro, that's the whole point.

Like, you really get it.
No, I f*ck with you, bro.

- Yeah, of course, bro.
- You feel me?

We're too similar, bro,
to not be cool, man.

Like, you get it now,
what I'm trying to say.

We all just gotta have
that group conversation

and just iron it out.

We all gotta come to
a level of understanding.

he's tripping that hard.

- So I'm like lowkey confused.
- I mean, I understand

where Ty's coming from though,
because she's just,

you know, sticking up for Jay.

Do you think she was right
to say that she's mad at me?

If anything, when the whole
altercation happened,

I was trying to get
both of them n*gg*s to shut up.

But you know what

this sounds like the problem
is really, though?

People talking
on other people's behalf

when they really weren't
part of it.

Sometimes if you need
to say something,

you're gonna have it said.

No, she can
say that sh*t after.

You don't say that sh*t
at my sh*t.

The way that she pulled up
to me and told me, I need to...

Looked me in my face

with a stern look
like she my mama,

that I need to hold my friends
accountable for what they say.

That's a grown a*s man.

But I do feel like you,
where Ty is coming from,

as the podcast host
should've been like,

- "Nah, let's clear this up."
- He tried to shut it down.

Jaylenn nor I,
was listening to that though.

The situation I have with Bri,
this sh*t... it just seems like,

to me, a lot of people
putting their nose in sh*t

that they don't belong in
in the first place.

- If you wasn't there... nah, nah.
- I don't it's a...

It's the...
She's the revolving factor,

but it's because
you are speaking...

- How though?
- So you just admitted it.

It's her best friend
and it's her f*cking n*gga.

What else do you expect?
She's gonna f*cking take up

for her n*gga
and her best friend.

That's the f*cking point.

Becky is going so hard

on this conversation right now

that's fine,

for years.

were talking behind my back.

She got delivered information

about the whole podcast
that was not true.

And the fact that
you're feeling like

it's none of my business,
it's all of my business.

I think it's funny
that Cheryl is telling me

that it's none of my business

while I'm riding for my man.

Honestly,
it's the hypocrisy for me.

Everybody chooses when they
feel like they can hash it out,

and the moment I do it,
then it's like,

- "Tylynn is this and that."
- And I don't like that.

Hey, y'all.

What's up, home girl?

She got the Burberry on?

- Where at?

- College. I went to Wesleyan.
- Mm, okay!

- Oh, East Coast?
- East Coast.

How do you feel
as a transplant?

Tell them to chill, please.

I feel like The Wood
is on Petiri's a*s.

Like, I really need them
to calm the f*ck down.

But he is handling
the situation

like a f*cking king, period.

I like New York better,
I can't lie.

Now you got a place to stay
whenever you wanna come.

- I'm sorry.
- It's comfy.

Please tell me more.

Brianna, where did you
get this man from?

He's like tall,

which is a change, okay?

I'm just trying to get to
the bottom of like who he is,

because I can't keep up.

So are y'all just like dating?
Are y'all talking?

We are exactly just
getting to know each other.

- Initial stages, you know.
- Yeah, for sure.

But I really, truly,
like, appreciate him

- 'cause I was really nervous.
- Why?

Just to, like,
bring someone here.

I couldn't have asked
to come to this event

with anyone better
because, like,

he is just
really holding sh*t down.

So if Jordan is jealous
of Petiri,

like, it's okay to be upset.

I'm not trying to make you
upset, but, like,

are you upset?

Are you mad?

Here we go.

- Big dawg, you ready?
- I'm ready as f*ck.

Hey, bro,
I'm proud of you, man.

I'm proud of you, my dawg.

All right, that's enough,
that's enough.

The crowd is growing,
everybody's coming out.

My nerves and my emotions

We got the VIPs here

everybody got the chance

Griff is on the cusp

of that career-changing moment.

He put the work in.

I've seen him and P'Jae
put in endless nights

behind what he's doing,

and now it's time
for him to reap the benefits.

It's time for him to take it

♪ Whoo, whoo ♪

- Hi, hi.
- I know!

- Hi.
- I was wondering.

I was like, where's Jade at?

So I wanna introduce
y'all to my friend, Jade.

She out here.

This my friend, Kofi,
Jaylenn, Jerrold, Cheryl.

- Everybody, this my friend Jade.
- Hi, nice to meet you.

Yeah,
I feel like maybe Jordan

scrambled to find a date
just because.

Bri brought this new guy.

Very interesting.
[LAUGHS]

Jordan, what do you like
about Jade?

You are just coming
into our friend group.

I'm interested
in what he likes about you.

Honestly,
I'm just getting to know Jade,

but Jade is a very smart woman.

- She has a lot going on.
- Of course, I see that.

I'm just really intrigued
by her.

What do you look for
in like a woman

- that you're interested in?
- What?

Am I on "Maury" right now?

Oh, I'm just...
I'm just wondering.

I know Becky is for sure
being messy.

If there's one thing
I can say,

Becky is always willing to
stir the pot and I feel like

this is just another example
of, like, her just

throwing in a little seasoning
and just seeing, like,

how she could spice up
the conversation,

but you know what?
I'm ready for this.

We built for this.
I think for me,

the biggest thing
that I look for is like,

obviously intellect
and just overall compatibility.

I feel like it's one thing
to be attractive,

but when you look
beyond the surface,

their experiences,
their family background,

people who are, like,
forward, creative...

Like, finding someone
that interests me all the time,

and I feel like there's
so many layers to her so far.

It's like, let me...
Let me try and peel back

some of these layers,
you know what I'm saying?

I like that, that's tight.

- I like... that was... you did good.
- Aww, that's cute.

- Your turn.
- My turn?

- Yeah.
- You listen.

I like when people
ask questions,

but actually listen
and want to know you.

That's... that's tight.
I like that.

No, we're not
going around the circle.

I promise you,
I will get up and leave.

It just brings up a lot
of, like, emotions for me

to hear Jordan say that, like,
he likes how busy Jade is

because I'm just remembering
how he said I ain't doing sh*t,

so now it's just like,
"Damn, so you just thought

I wasn't busy? Okay."
Maybe I'm a hater, I don't know.

Hated to see it though.
I can't lie.

We would like margaritas.

Margaritas?

So when are you gonna
talk to P'Jae?

I'm probably gonna have
to pull him aside soon.

It's been too long.

He needs to know how I feel.

I don't give a f*ck
if it is his event.

What needs to be said
needs to be said.

Buff like... like Chris.

I mean, like, CJ from GTA,
you know what I'm saying?

The wife beater,
you know what I'm saying?

"Oh, sh*t, here we go again."

P'Jae, can I talk to you
really quick?

- Yeah, what's up, what's up?
- Come over here with me.

What's up? How you doing?

- I'm good, how are you?
- Good.

- Yeah.
- All right.

What's up?

Nothing, I just want
to congratulate you on today.

- It was fire.
- I seen y'all going crazy.

Y'all gave me energy.
I appreciate it.

I just wanted to talk
to you though 'cause,

you know, you had me f*cked up
in Mexico, right?

What you mean,
like, on the boat?

On the boat.

I just feel like you could have
chosen a better time

to talk to me about some sh*t

that we could have handled
when we were back in LA.

I mean, yeah, the timing
definitely could have

been better,
but my whole mindset was like,

"All right, it's now or never."

I get that,
so for now, right now,

it's now or never for me.

Right after our conversation

where you got done
talking to me about

how much you respect me and
not only five minutes later,

you were with your boys,

bigging yourself up like,

"Oh, I feel so free
and I feel like

a weight is lifted off
my shoulders."

- All right.
- And I feel like you were

bigging it up to your boys like

it was something more
than it was.

I hear you, right.

But I feel like you
making an assumption

- of how or what that meant.
- I'm not making an assumption.

- Do you know why I said...
- P'Jae, P'Jae.

I was right there behind you,

and I heard everything
that you were f*cking saying.

You can ask Cheryl
'cause Cheryl was right by me.

- Don't involve me.
- Okay, right there, right...

- I was still there.
- First of all, calm down.

- I'm not gonna calm down.
I heard you, I heard you.

Can I get this off or no?

- It's the fact that...
- Are you gonna listen?

She turning up for TV
right now.

All right, so what do you...
What do you want from me?

Honestly,
I want a f*cking apology.

- For what?
- For Mexico.

Like, you've really been
on a toxic n*gga circle.

Have I?

I just wanna
let you know how I felt

and you can do
whatever the f*ck you want

with that information
and figure that sh*t out.

- All right.
- 'Cause I'm not for it.

- You got it.
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.

[TENSE MUSIC]

Welcome back from hell,
brother.

- Back from the trenches.
- From the trenches.

- I survived though.
- Boy.

- Boy.
- Bro, she was big tripping.

- On what?
- Going crazy over Mexico.

- I talked.
She didn't say nothing.

She got nothing to say
and now she got

everything in the world to say.

Yeah, bro, like...

I hope she got
what she had to get off

and we move forward from here,
bro, 'cause honestly with me,

I've been over that part,
so it is what it is.

- Can I have a shot please?
- Abracadabra.

How was it?

Do you feel like you've got out
everything you wanted to,

like, finally say?

[SIGHS]

I hate that n*gga.
[LAUGHTER]

Period, full stop.

That's what I wanted to hear,
Becky.

Yeah.

I'm about to bring
everyone in, have a toast.

Let's do a toast.

Everybody got a shot?

I wanna make a toast.

P'Jae, you was
in your element, n*gga.

Cheers to you to showing
your true self,

because what I saw around
the corner, that was P'Jae.

- P'Jae Compton, okay?
- Yeah.

I respect that.

Cheers to loyalty,

to holding your friends
accountable,

to continuing to show up
for your friends,

and to making sure
that everybody in your party

is feeling good
and feeling happy.

To making safe spaces.

If you not holding
yourself accountable,

maybe you shouldn't
raise your glass,

and if you are,
continue to do that.

I feel like everybody
needs a dictionary

so they can understand what
accountability really means.

Everybody's trying to hold
everybody else accountable,

but themselves.

I'm not liking this energy
that she's throwing.

- More life, more everything.
- Whoo!

Period.

Cheers.

- We've gotta talk outside.
I gotta holla at you.

We gotta talk.
We gotta talk outside.

No, Jerrold.

I wanted us to have
a conversation just us

because you made it an issue
between you and me.

And now it's not just an issue
between you and me.

I didn't appreciate
how you pulled up

and did that
at Cheryl's photo sh**t.

It wasn't the time or place
to do that.

I just felt like
I did not like that.

Was she expected to hold
that in and just be fake then?

So this is why
this is a conversation

- between me and Tylynn.
- First of all.

First of all, I care enough
about Jerrold to talk to him.

I felt disrespected that
you did that at my photoshoot.

Okay and I did it at the end

and I felt like I pulled him
to the side.

- It was definitely at the end.
- That wasn't...

But there's a time and place
for everything and I don't think

- that was the time or place.
- Was it the time and the place

when you had a tantrum
at legacy table?

I didn't have a tantrum
at legacy table.

I didn't talk to her
about legacy table

because I respected you enough

to not talk about it
at legacy table.

But it happened, it was
the energy at the table.

- Stop pointing the finger.
- If you weren't at the podcast,

don't say anything.
It's Jerrold and Ty.

Obviously,
y'all don't know me as much

as you act like you know me.

I am not
a confrontational person.

- Don't do that, don't do that.
- Don't do what? Don't do what?

- Don't tell me what to do.
I'm speaking on it.

Bro, stop maintaining
on what people are gonna do.

- You're a grown a*s man.
- It was above

what Jordan said to Jaylenn.

And that's what the f*ck
I was saying.

What it came down to
is I was coming from a place

'cause I know y'all
individually.

sh*t got me f*cked up.

Me being each of you... each
and one of y'all friends,

you couldn't think of me.

If I had a podcast
and I were to invite Cheryl,

I would never allow her
to feel uncomfortable

in a space I created.

How did we get to this point
from something

so black and white?

Tylynn just wants him
to acknowledge her pain

and the fact
that they can't even do that

for someone they claim
to love so much,

just really tells me everything
I need to know about them.

My thing is you pulling up
to me at the photoshoot.

You could call me.
I don't do this.

You've never been through
anything your whole life?

You never been through drama?

No, I don't do drama.

- That is a luxury.
You gotta understand that.

That is a luxury.

[ALL SPEAKING AT ONCE]

- Everyone, please stop.
Please stop.

Stop, everyone, stop.

Relax, relax.

- Everyone, stop, shh.
Everyone, please stop.

This isn't...
This isn't a conversation.

I don't understand
how anybody thinks, like,

this is productive.

Like, you guys are all
literally just yelling,

sounding stupid.

You weren't there,
you weren't there, I was there.

This is why it should
have been one-on-one.

It wasn't one-on-one
at the podcast.

- Please, please.
- Let Tylynn talk.

- Let Tylynn talk.
- That's all I'm asking.

I'm sorry, Cheryl.
That's it.

Let me acknowledge that.
I am sorry

that I had that conversation
with Jerrold at your photoshoot.

- Cool.
- Let's start there.

'Cause, Jerrold,
on some real sh*t, like,

you not telling me the truth
of what happened,

it hurt my feelings.

- Okay, can I talk now?
- Of course.

So I didn't feel that
it was my place to step in

whether it was my podcast
or not.

The sh*t's not gonna
be on my podcast.

- I just think that we...
- Please, please.

Can you let... can you let
Tylynn and I talk?

What we not about to do
is g*ng up on Jerrold.

Let him speak.

Now you feel how I feel
about Jaylenn.

Why are you inserting me
in this?

You feel like it's okay
how they talked to Jaylenn?

Not everybody at that podcast
was talking to Jaylenn.

I'm saying how Jordan talked
to Jaylenn,

you think I'm not right to feel
how I feel about

- how he handled that situation?
- I did not say that.

No, I'm trying to give you
perspective, sis.

Don't call me "sis."

Cheryl bucking up at me?

That sh*t's crazy.

This whole bravado,

going big on me over the word
"sis" just shows

that you don't even
have no weight

in the argument
that's happened,

so you can just kindly
step to the side.

I wanna let them two
have a conversation

just like Jaylenn and I did
where we can

understand each other.

But I don't think they want
to understand me.

- No, no, no, I... no, no, no.
You'd be surprised.

- I'm just tired of...
[OVERLAPPING CHATTER]

Y'all have to leave.
Please go outside, please.

What is so hard
about going outside?

I don't know how much else
I have to lay it out,

but I'm standing up for Jaylenn

while still being a friend
to you.

And if you can't
decide for the two,

then you not the friend for me.

Where the f*ck
is the conversation

gonna go from here?

Like, are we 'bout to fight?
I don't feel like

I should've left
that f*cking situation.

I'm trying to get y'all
to shut up

so they can talk though.

Jerrold still doesn't want

to take accountability
for his actions

as the podcast host... ah!

You pulling up to me
at the photoshoot,

in that moment,
I felt attacked.

I feel like I wasn't even,
like, coming at you crazy.

I was literally like,
"I felt hurt... ".

This is why I tried
to have a conversation

with just me and you
and not everybody else.

We had that time.

You wasn't trying
to do that with me.

- That was not...
- That's what hurt.

Bro, she values y'all
so much.

That's why she tried to, like,
get it nipped in the bud.

And you took it as her, like,
trying to start something.

Like, ruin...
Like, ruin Cheryl's moment.

It's like, it's not that.

You already said sorry
and I said I accepted that.

But I feel like
you still are upset.

I'm upset that I'm part
of this conversation

and I'm over it. I'm talking...

But like, are we cool?

We're cool.

Only time will tell.

Me and Jordan squashed it,
but I didn't try him.

I didn't go left
to where it could have went.

It could have been
a great moment.

And that's the whole thing
that I've been pressing.

This sh*t could have been great

for that platform that
we was giving mental health.

It was more like, "Hey,
just be quiet, just let it go."

It's like, "Hold on,
I can't let it go when"

"somebody is talking to me first
with this tone, you feel me?

And with this disrespect."

I wanted you to
f*cking stick up for me.

If you feel some type of way
in the future,

if anybody feels
some type of way,

address it with that person.
Come to me with how you feeling,

I'ma come to you with
how I'm feeling and that's it.

I'm not gonna apologize
to Ty and Jay

because I don't have anything
to apologize for.

There's... there's nothing
that I did

or should have done differently
in that situation.

Let's take a step
and look at all this from a...

From different perspectives.

So we have
the accountability aspect.

What happened exactly?

No, no, wait, I need to know.

- I will tell you.
I will tell you.

[ALL SPEAKING AT ONCE]

Let me open this sh*t.
Look, look, look, look, look.

Shut up and let me talk.

- Who?
- All y'all.

- No. No, n*gga, no.
- Okay, come on, please.

- Bri, Bri.
- Yes.

- You all right?
- Take me away please.

- Gotta go.
- All right, that's one gone.

- You all right?
What's going on?

I am okay. Are you okay?

I just noticed
the intensity.

Really hate that they just
took me out of this situation.

Listen, your opinion
matters to me

so I wanna hear it from you.

Talk to me.

I get that it was on
my podcast, but that issue

was between Jordan and Jaylenn
at that moment.

Maybe you'll never be sorry.

Jerrold and Cheryl
are showing me

exactly who they are.

They don't care about
anything or anyone

that's not impacting them.

And there's nothing else
that needs to be said.

- Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
[ALL SPEAKING AT ONCE]

- Everybody good now?
- No, not really.

Yeah, you can literally see

the divide between us
right now.

And I don't know where
me and Tylynn stand after this.

If you're ready
to leave, I'm...

- I've been ready.
- We out of here.

- I'm just over it.
Am I even sure that I want

to be friends
with Jordan and The Wood?

I just feel like
I don't really see

a comeback from this.

♪ ♪

This is not what was
supposed to happen.

This is not
what it was meant to be.

I've never seen this happen
before between us.

Please, God,
get me out of here.

I don't know where this leaves
the entire friend group.

Honestly, I don't.

- Tylynn, this way.
- Oh.

Nobody's holding
Ty accountable

that the event
didn't have to end like this.

There's things
that need to be worked on

within the friend group and

we gonna see if we're better
forward, or if we're not.

I'ma be good either way.

Come on, man, let's go.

You know, I hate to see us
at odds like this

after everything
we've been through.

But I feel like at this point,
it's become redundant.

One thing about The Wood is

we do not be getting involved
in drama, ever.

So on this note, we out.

When I was walking away
from Jerrold,

I felt like I was walking away
from our friendship.

sh*t will never be the same.
