Did you see Love and Hip Hop, Season 2, Episode 1! For Real Mimi!?!

Ok, so this whole blog is starting over Love and Hip Hop: Atlanta Season 2: episode 1

I missed the premier so the next day my sister (love her dearly) calls me the next night and says, "You HAVE to watch the episode online, your not going to believe this foolishness." So she tells me a little of the nonsense and not surprisingly most of it centered around Stevie J, Mimi and Ms. Joseline Hernandez (I neglected to leave the 'Ms.' off for Mimi on purpose and you'll understand why in a minute if you decide to stay with me.)

Anyway, I wasn't engaged in anything super productive at that moment so I decided to cue it up. I have to say I wasn't really into it until about the last fifteen minutes.  The prior 45 minutes highlight the other cast members and storylines.  If you don't follow the show, I would say that if your like me, you think a little trash tv is good for entertainment purposes; this show could be called upon to fulfill that need on occasion. 

In a nutshell, during the last fifteen minutes Ms. Joseline walks into Stevie's house with a key, addresses Mimi as "Maid" and says, "I see you got on your maid outfit like you always do."

I can't even address what happened next yet because I didn't even see it until I played it back again.  My jaw was dropped to the floor.

Before I go off on Mimi let me just say my opinion comes from working with people with a range of mental health issues and empowering them to find strength within themselves to make positive changes in their lives.  I believe EVERYONE can do better if they have the desire.

If after seeing this episode someone simply asked me, "What do you think about Mimi?"
My reply would be,

"Mimi is a fraud. She is masquerading as a 'strong black woman' and clearly she is not. Lets establish some truths;

-Mimi has been around for 15 years
-Stevie J has probably been unfaithful for just about the same

'Mimi, its been 15 years, what are you expecting to happen at this point? Furthermore, knowing what you know about Stevie do you really want him for life?'  I fail to understand her mental state. Not only has she been publicly humiliated and disrespected by Stevie on numerous occasions, he got Joseline pregnant in season 1.  I mean what else does she want this man to do to her? I'm so upset with Mimi because this is a perfect example of how not to conduct yourself should you end up in a similar situation. In my opinion the situation should have never escalated to this point but I think Mimi has what I call that "Dumb B*tch Syndrome"

What some women seem to not fully comprehend is that once someone has gotten comfortable with treating you a certain way you have to make drastic changes to counteract that behavior and most of the time that involves the woman leaving the situation completely and trying to find themselves.  That's exactly what Mimi needs to do. Stevie J has already stated on more than one occasion that 'he is who he is' which from my observation is a womanizer with serious 'mommy' issues and a rumored drug addict. 

Think about this, at the end of the episode Mimi is so upset and crying she calls Stevie all kinds of names including 'junkie'.  So in fact, your letting a 'junkie' treat you dirt? 

Bottom line, I need Mimi to grow a pair!  Mimi should have met Joseline at the door with every intention of knockin her in the head as soon as she opened her mouth.  Normally I would not encourage any sort of violence however you have to make your expectations known and sometimes a little violence just drives home the point.

Now a brief word on Ms. Joseline; she is doing her thing out there but no, she's by no means supported in how she is coming for Mimi but you have to give her credit for being honest and speaking the truth. If only Mimi would confront some truths maybe she could move on and be happy. 

Ladies, never give in so completely to a man that you forget who you are or neglect to even find out who you are.  Taking time to learn and know yourself will only enhance the relationship that you want so badly once your in it. Neglecting to do so is hurtful to you and spells trouble ahead for your relationship. 

I'm gone let my blood pressure come down some because Mimi, girl, I'm so tired of you.
