00:00Hey Essence family I'm your girl Latoya Lickett. I'm Kadeen Andrea and I'm Portia Coleman and we
00:04are the cast of Tyler Perry's Divorce Sisters on BET Plus. Okay here we go. Okay tell me. If you had to give a quick synopsis, a description of what Divorce Sisters is all about, what would it be? And go. It's about sisterhood, it's the way that we hold each other down and hold each other together as we navigate life. Because one thing about life, it's gonna lie. It's gonna lie. Life be like this.
00:29We navigate through life, through love, through divorce, situationships, marriages, friendships, and the trials and tribulations that all those different scenarios go through. This is like real life situations, real life scenarios and we keep it real on the show. So what character do you play? We need the name. Okay. Quick little tidbits. Okay. Come on Geneva. Come on Geneva. Geneva Washington if you will. I think at the core of who she is, she ultimately wants the best for herself and those around her. She just does not know how to get there.
00:59And some things happen along the way. Well we all love a Geneva. Okay. And Naomi is, um, she's a firecracker. Let me just say Naomi is, she's slightly scorned if I have to say.
01:11Ooh. Um, she is navigating the humps and bumps of her divorce and she's not taking it too well. Very reactive. I'm very reactive. Firecracker. Very reactive. Period. Naomi is just a firecracker. What about you?
01:23And as Rashida, I just try and keep everybody together. I'm a pastor's wife. I'm always the one that has to keep it together and thinks that I have it all together. But really, I'm falling apart at the seams.
01:35We're going to get into these rapid fire questions. Okay. Let's do that. We're going to do it. We're going to have a little fun. Okay. Okay. So I'm going to give a word. I'm going to say a word. Okay. And I want you to say the first thing that comes to your mind. Okay. When I say this word. Okay. Okay.
01:47I'm a star. Okay. Okay. Cheating on side chicks. I wish you would. Ooh. I like that. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. What if there was an open relationship? To each their own. Okay. Good answer. Oh, okay. I thought there was a bud. But she said to each their own. I think I know the answer to this one. Marriage. Oh, baby. I'm all in. Ten toes down. You ready? Okay. All right. You now. Come on. Same questions or different ones? Oh, different. Oh, sheesh. I think she's going to do that. I want a third pot. Okay. Red flags. Ooh.
02:16Daddy issues. You see me swankin'. Swankin'. Nah, not really my thing. I don't want to share something I love. Okay. Here's a good one. Okay. This is a good one. Okay. Going 50-50. Hell no. To the no, no, no, no. Hell to the no. Listen. A woman should have her own. So if you're on a date. Yes. And the tab comes. First date. Okay. And the waiter comes to the table and they say, how are we splitting the checks? And he says,
02:44we're just boot tech too. He's going to get the word homie right there so he knows. Oh, we're friends. We're friends. Oh, period. I'm going to pay my friend. Instant friend zone. Instant friend zone. Because what I do with my friends, we hanging out together. I'm paying my portion. You paying your portion. Okay. That's good, homie. I'm going to let him know right there. Don't expect nothing more. No third. Friend zone. Just like that. I'll get up, have a good time. Red flag. I'm going to be your friend. But we're not dating. Red flag. No. Question. Now, okay. Here's the thing. We know that everyone watching isn't divorced. Right. Correct.
03:14What are some things that we've had to break free from? Whether it be mentally or physically. What are some things that you have found yourself having to divorce from?
03:23Ooh. Wow. You know what instantly came to mind for me? Freeing myself of what other people think. Come on. Talk to these people. Right. People's opinions. Over the past few years, like whatever the opinion is, whatever the comment is, that says more about you than it does about me. Come on now. So I have broken free of what people think of me. I love that. Why don't you take that one next?
03:44Okay. Let's see. That's a good one. I think mine kind of falls into the same thing with Kay, and that's like people pleasing. Like you can't please everyone. And especially when you're a mom, a wife, you want to make sure that everybody is good. And sometimes you can lose focus on yourself. You can lose yourself. And you can overwhelm yourself trying to make sure everybody else is straight. So I think for me, it's been people pleasing and being okay with that.
04:13I used to get guilt. Right. I used to get a lot of guilt. That's the second part of being okay with it. Yeah, being okay with it, accepting it. Are you there now? Yeah, I'm a work in progress. Come on. I'm about at 75% if I can be honest with you. I love it. That's awesome. I love it. I'm getting there.
04:28Have either one of you, either one of you, ever been the one to end a relationship and have you been the one to cheat?
04:36End it. Yeah. Yes. Yeah. End it. Definitely end it. Yeah. That's when you just want, like, you know when it's time to walk away when something has won its course.
04:43And it's just that, you know, you're not happy anymore. The relationships are not serving you. And that could be in romantic relationships. That could be in familial relationships.
04:50True. That's true. That could be in friendships. Like, some things are seasonal. You know? You know what? I realize that it's the same thing. Because not every person is meant to be your person for life.
04:59And I think sometimes people go into it thinking, this is the one. And then you get disappointed when it's not. He never was meant to be the one. He might have been the lesson.
05:05But when you get to the one, you're like, thank you for the experience and the time. And I think I've had those scenarios that helps me understand this is what I don't like. This is what I do want.
05:14And I'm grateful for all those experiences. I don't regret not wanting. No. Same. No failures. No failures. No failures. No regrets at all.
05:20Yes. Not at all. No regrets at all. And I mean, I've been divorced before. But if I didn't marry, then I wouldn't have my two beautiful children. My wonderful children.
05:30Oh my gosh. So that had to happen. You know what I'm saying? So I don't have any regrets. I think that it was a learning experience. And obviously something wonderful came out of it.
05:40Come on now. Love that feeling. Are there more babies in the cars, darling? No. Shop close.
05:45Oh! Okay. She shut that. I just had to ask. Absolutely not. I didn't know if my sister was going to run it back. No? No, ma'am.
05:49She said no, ma'am. She's like, I'm snatched back. Why would I? You know, I'm just saying. It's only powder in here. I ain't got nothing for you.
05:56Same. Stop the powder. One, two, three. Ain't nothing. Just. Baby, ain't nothing in here. Nobody.
06:02Nobody. Nothing. Okay. The waistline is waistlining. Come on. We're trying. Period. We have to do that. Okay. The babies can talk and feed themselves.
06:11She's like, I done got to pass the bag. That part. Absolutely not. So if I'm on the surrogate, I can't holler at you and you. I pay you to do it. Because y'all do it so well. I did freeze my eggs.
06:19Me too. What is, who gonna scramble? What is the pettiest thing that you know a friend or maybe someone out there has, you know, they've asked for, especially a male.
06:30Let's start with, like, men. What does a man ask for in a divorce that you felt was like, come on, bruh.
06:36Oh. What you got for it, please? I think the pettiest thing was the guy who wants alimony when he was the one cheating.
06:41How do you ask for the money when you the one who was the one who stepped out and then you still want to be taken care of?
06:47That's how cars get keyed. Don't let, no. Okay.
06:51That's how cars get keyed for all the fellas that might have dated Latoya Luckett back in the day.
06:54No, I ain't key no car, baby. I'm gonna tell you one thing.
06:57You did. I didn't key no car.
06:58You didn't do that?
06:59I'm gonna tell you how quick I was. Tell me what you did.
07:01I was quick to drop off.
07:02Tell me what you did.
07:03Please try me.
07:04Hold on. I'm gonna add a question.
07:06I'm gonna get out of your way.
07:06We gonna add a question.
07:07What is the craziest thing you've done in a relationship to get back at a dude?
07:12Never keyed a car.
07:13No, I've never keyed a car.
07:14What have you done? You've done something.
07:16I actually took a shift at this girl's job just so I could confront her.
07:22And I proceeded to ask her questions while we were on the shift that she couldn't go anywhere because she was clocked in.
07:28So we had a conversation.
07:31What?
07:32Wow.
07:33Yeah.
07:33And you ended up telling him.
07:34That's a way to corner.
07:35Wow.
07:36Yeah, she actually called him and was like, hey, so your girl's here at my job.
07:42Mm-hmm.
07:42Working a shift.
07:45Crazy.
07:46So I like it.
07:47That is a perfect example.
07:48That's the way.
07:49Of how like, you know when I said that.
07:50Try me if you want to.
07:52I had a similar situation, but I was 14, so I really don't.
07:55We like those.
07:56No, it was cute.
07:56It was actually cute.
07:57Like my ex-boyfriend at the time, I was only 13, like I said, and he had gone off to summer camp.
08:03Summer camp.
08:04And so he had bought me a beeper, and he said he was going to beep me when he got back.
08:09Like when camp was over and he was back home, we were supposed to meet and go to the movies.
08:12He and my girlfriends were sitting, waiting on a phone call, dressed in cute, prepared for the moment to go to this movie date.
08:19Pagers never went off, okay?
08:21Weeks later, come to find out through one of my other best friends that he started dating one of the girls he met at summer school.
08:29Okay?
08:29Oh, the summer camp girl?
08:30Did tell you.
08:31Baby, here's what happened.
08:32Summer camp romance.
08:33Got her information.
08:35Gave her a phone call.
08:36It was like, hey boo, here you're dating.
08:38Ah, ah, ah.
08:39And so here's just some things I want to tell you about your new man.
08:43End of the story.
08:44Why is she my new best friend and has been my friend since we are 14 years old?
08:48What up, Cam?
08:49No way!
08:50Hey, Cam, girl.
08:51Oh my God.
08:52What's up, sis?
08:53To this day, I took his girlfriend.
08:56You know who you are.
08:58And I don't care if we were young.
08:59I listen to Toni Braxton's Come Break My Heart.
09:01So, on repeat?
09:02You know what you should do?
09:04I think, personally, she should give him a subscription to BET Plus to watch her show.
09:09I am still dealing with this.
09:11I think that's the best.
09:12Give him a year subscription to BET Plus.
09:14You do find a best friend out of it.
09:16I ain't friends with Homegirl, though.
09:17All right, ladies.
09:18That wraps us up for the day.
09:20No more questions.
09:21No more questions.
09:21Miss Moderator did her thing.
09:22We are good.
09:24You are welcome.
09:25And thank you, Essence family.
09:26That was so much fun.
