Love & Hip Hop: ATL's season five, episode two aired last night (Monday, Apr. 11) and it was filled with drinks flying across the room, followed by fists being thrown at faces. This episode battled issues within the LGBTQ community, as well as, cheating boyfriends. This recap highlights all the craziness that went down including Tommie and Tiarra's ongoing fight, Betty Idol confronting Tammy Rivera about her husband, and so much more!
Episode two begins where the premiere episode left off: at Mimi Faust's surprise birthday party for her new girlfriend Chris. Just when Tommie and Karlie Redd thought their plan wasn't going to work, in walks Tiarra oblivious to the trap she just walked in to. Tommie began asking Tiarra personal questions, but things quickly turned sour when Tommie asked Tiarra about her parenting skills. Wondering why she's asking about her kids, Tommie admits she knows her kids and her baby daddy Scrapp Deleon because she sits on his face every night. Both women stood up and approached each other. Tiarra threw her drink which gave Tommie even more reasons to start throwing her fists. The fight was broken up by security. Meanwhile, Mimi is confused by the altercation because she didn't invite the ladies to the party, nor does she know them.
Rasheeda tells Kirk about the drama that went down at Mimi's party, but Kirk isn't surprised. He believes anything Karlie is involved in is bound to turn messy. The conversation then moves to Momma Dee barging into their store. Kirk caught all the craziness that went down in the store on the surveillance cameras. Rasheeda tells him Momma Dee accused them of betraying Scrappy by not showing up to court. Kirk decides he's going to talk to Scrappy about his disrespectful mom.
Tiarra ended up in the hospital after her run-in with Tommie. While doing research, she found out about Tommie's criminal background, as well as, photos with Tommie and her son. So, she decides to surprise Scrapp at his recording session. Scrapp admits he's been messing with Tommie for a year and Tiarra goes off. She tries to attack him, but security beat her to the punch (no pun intended). She threatens to not let Scrapp see their son or the other kids until he makes things right. By making things right, Tiarra wants Scrapp to tell Tommie that they're still romantically involved with each other and she wants to be there when it happens.
Ariane and Chris are helping Mimi pack and move into her new house. Ariane wants some clarity about Mimi's sexual identity. Mimi does not identify as a lesbian, while Chris does not identify as a female, which is why they don't consider themselves in a lesbian relationship. This only confuses Ariane more. Chris explains to Ariane that although he does not plan on altering his body, he does not see himself as female, instead as a boy trapped in a woman's body.
Ariane continues to bombard them with intimate questions, which makes Chris a little uncomfortable. The only reason he puts up with it is because she's Mimi's best friend. Ariane continues being nosey, asking questions about their sex life. Chris doesn't hesitate to let her know he can handle himself in the bedroom. Chris also revealed he's a "touch-me-not" or someone who doesn't like to be touched sexually in areas that remind them of their gender.
Scrappy and Yung Joc stop by the radio station to have a tell-all interview about what's going on in their lives. Scrappy talks about his nonexistent relationship with Bambi, as well as, his growing interest in a female he's been hanging out with lately, Betty Idol. Scrappy also lets the listeners know how serious he is about his modeling agency. Yung Joc is there promoting his new music and hoping Scrappy will give his blessing to let him start talking to Taylor.
Rasheeda, Mimi, and Tammy attend a fashion show that Bambi and D. Smith are modeling in. Tammy thinks D. Smith would be perfect to model her own clothing line. D. Smith just so happens to be best friends with Scrappy's new female friend, Betty. D. Smith meets up with Betty in the car to talk about the fashion show. Betty reveals she left the show early, because there were people in there she doesn't like (i.e. Bambi and Tammy). Betty tells her she's been working with Scrappy and swears they haven't done anything sexual...yet. She also admits she's not a fan of Tammy due to comments her husband Waka Flocka made during a radio interview about the transgender community.
Karen "KK" King meets with Tommie and she lets her know what went down at the party. KK is excited to hear that Tommie popped off on Tiarra, because she wants nothing more than to get Tiarra out of her son's life. KK then goes into detail as to the real reason she doesn't trust Tiarra, revealing she snitched on her to the cops when their family was facing legal troubles. While her sons were in jail, KK went on the run and spoke to Tiarra secretly so they could exchange information and updates. KK believes Tiarra ratted her out to the cops, which led to her own arrest.
Scrappy and Joc have a casting party for their modeling agency. Joc sees this as the perfect opportunity to push up on Taylor. Although reluctant at first, Taylor decides to take down his number and give him a chance. Kirk shows up to the event to addresses the tension between him and scrappy. Scrappy tells Kirk he did not send his mom over to their store and that he felt betrayed because they didn't help him in court. Kirk admits he didn't want to go to court in the first place. The shocking revelation made Scrappy come to the realization that they no longer have a friendship. Kirk doesn't really seem to care and walks out of the event.
D. Smith meets with Tammy about possibly modeling for her fashion line. D. Smith admits she's in the process of transitioning from male to female. She then asks Tammy about Waka's comments regarding the transgender community, to see if she agrees with him. Tammy defends her husband, stating Waka was more concerned about how Caitlyn Jenner was being glorified in the media and how these messages were translating to their daughter. Despite the misunderstanding, Tammy is still eager to get D. Smith to model her clothing line. D. Smith isn't sure about it, so she tells Tammy she'll think about it.
Scrapp brings flowers to Tommie to apologize for lying to her about Tiarra. He hopes to resolve issues between them and get on good terms with Tiarra again. Scrapp finally tells Tommie that he still smashing Tiarra. Tommie asks him if he loves her, but he can't give her a straight answer. Scrapp's main concern is to figure out how to come to a common ground with the ladies so he can see his son.
D. Smith invites Betty to her sit-down meeting with Tammy. D. Smith is hoping Betty will model for Tammy, because she doesn't think she'll be able to do it. Tammy and Betty are off to a good start at first, but when Betty brings up Waka's controversial interview things go left. Betty then questions Tammy's relevancy, claiming she's only famous because she married someone famous. Tammy quickly shuts her down by giving her some information about her entrepreneurial background. Before you know it, drinks began to fly and it was on and poppin'.
