    So many people tuned in to VH1's "Love & Hip Hop Hollywood" reunion shows this week to catch a glimpse of Masika Kalysha Tucker and Yung Berg together. We already know that just a few short hours after the taping the couple got into a violent altercation that lead to Tucker telling NYPD police officers that Berg dragged and hit her before choking her out. In the weeks that followed, Tucker may have flip-flopped on what she said happened, but VH1 made sure everyone tuning in knew its position.It played a public service announcement from No More, showing various celebrities speaking out about domestic violence, and then they informed viewers of Berg's arrest shortly after the taping. VH1 said that it does not condone the violence and immediately severed all ties with Berg, basically once again confirming that he has been fired from the cast of "Love & Hip Hop Hollywood."As for Tucker and Berg's status, after a brief break the two appeared to be back together, and she has tried to insist that everything was blown out of proportion on the night in question. The problem with that is the fact that he was charged based on her account of what supposedly transpired between them.
