Love and Marriage: Huntsville Reunion Part 3 Reunion Recap w/ Carlos King + Dustin Ross

[@vanessabarnesmiller6015]

I was offended for Melody when you turned to Mel and said, in chasing your dreams, do you wish she had done something different.? WTH??? Why is Melody being blamed for Martell's cheating again? Martell and Melody both sat down together to map out (plan) their life and to reach for and attain (if possible) all of their goals. When Martell decided that he wanted a different plan than what they had agreed to, why didn’t he say, look I think we need to revise the plan. Martell cheated and would not stop cheating because that is what he wanted to do! He should have had the courtesy of saying to Melody, I'm no longer being fulfilled in this marriage and I am leaving you and getting a woman who meets my needs. I'm so tired of the woman being blamed for trifling ninjas!

[@patand2316]

@Carlos King is so confused. It's obvious he is taking up for Martell in this child custody case. All of a sudden Mel don't need to work because Martell is too incompetent to work. @Carlos King Mel is building generational wealth while Martell is running around trying to find a woman who will take care of him because of his insecurities. @Carlos King you are not a cast member and shouldn't be throwing shade, because Mel has ambitions like you have. Mel take care of her children, and you should not insinuate that she doesn't. @Carlos King who are you to judge Mel's family dynamic.

[@Tashone26]

Gurrrl..Boy was I heated. Carlos was direspectful. This woman has 4 kids to care for.

[@leahprater3422]

Like Mel said, it doesn't matter what she did, it wouldn't have been enough. Martell wanted a reason to cheat and would have still been doing it to date had she stayed.

[@rocg9503]

Where were the tears for Melody? Last reunion, when Carlos was saying the side chick was the buffet? Mel ran off and cried her eyes out and only her team, and mom consoling her. Too many stay protecting men but crap all over women when they need supporting. Stop daydreaming about them as a beautiful couple, when Martell stays insulting her and degrading her. Every time Mel gives him a chance, he runs pillow talking to the side chick. Let that woman be in peace!

[@tmon4819]

OMG! I said the same thing...smh

[@lilme2me]

Facts. It's alarming how some men rush to lecture black women but then console black men. Who has held Martell accountable on this show? And word on the curb is that the reason CK mentioned Martell's "outbursts" is because Martell caused a scene backstage. Why get on stage and cry for that man and, essentially, excuse his bad behavior?

[@rocg9503]

Martell has caused several eruptions throughout the shows history. I was so hoping Dustin would point it out how coddled Martell is. If not for Martell’s actions Mel wouldn’t need all these babysitters he’s complaining about. If not for Martell’s actions Melody wouldn’t be the single mom Martell complains about. If not for Martell’s actions Melody wouldn’t have to work twice as hard. These men sent up here and coddle the dude that caused all of the suffering he is going through and put his family through. Yet, Mel is left to she’s a strong woman😏 Black women are tired of being strong.

[@Ahmierah]

Facts!!!!

[@adored74]

As much as he denies it, Carlos definitely favors Martell over Melody. I like how Dustin brings it back to reality by indicating things are where they are between the Holts because of Martell. He cheated repeatedly. He conceived a child with the mistress during his marriage. He didn't take accountability in the beginning of the ending of the marriage. He tried to make Melody the bad person, etc.

[@lizzyglam1286]

[@BklynCapri]

[@MsEllaHamilton]

Martell didn’t like Melody and apparently no one else does either. So of course he chose to spend time with someone whose company he enjoyed and preferred.

[@JustChivon]

He doesn’t favor Martel, Men ALWAYS stand with men in these types of situations. Carlos has an unconscious bias because he’s a man. And people don’t understand real those are…. It truly takes an EXTREMELY purposefully intellectual person to make sure in situations like these, they take a step back and access before they respond and/or make assumptions/accusations

[@dessya7474]

[@AskMILDRED38]

Thank goodness for this review. I love Dustin’s insight. I did disagree with one thing. I don’t agree that Scott’s 1.0 or 2.0 actually share their lives. Nope what they do is get on camera and discuss the Holts. They ain’t sharing. Kimmie is an exception because she’s always moved different.

[@LATfs6ym]

I agree with you. The Scott’s have shared much of nothing in their actual lives.

[@kikimolly1471]

Total agreement. They have too many secrets to be honest and authentic. Plus the Scotts are so misogynistic that if they were too authentic, they might get kicked off the show.

[@Lyricallor56]

I concur!

[@tanzapettiford]

Absolutely 💯 The fact that they all meet before filming to discuss their storyline before filming is telling. I'm over the Holts, Ms. Wanda, Destiny and trifling Martell. This show reminds me of the basketball wives 2.0..So messy, I've loss interest in watching grown folks behave sooooo badly 😢 2023 is the year for positivity and this show doesn't meet my standards of Black entrepreneurs living up to that expectation.

[@sharonlogan8457]

[@tanzapettiford]

Melody was looking like, how long is this going to last? Is the reunion almost over? Melody is destined for Greatness, she's a star in the making. On another note: The initial storyline of the show was brilliant. To showcase Black entrepreneurs doing amazing things in Huntsville, was definitely worth watching. I wish they could spend more time focusing on their business ventures and talents, rather than behaving so badly.

Best comment I’ve seen!

I'll tell a man quick I can't love us enough for the both of us. That's what Martell wanted her to do and it would have absolutely destroyed her in the end. She had to save herself and her children

[@thundercat6709]

🎯 It’s criminal how much this is overlooked.

[@symone9301]

As for Melody and Martell, I think Melody would like a good co-parenting but from what was revealed today, Martell want's to control the family that he lost. He said he didn't want Melody's brother around his children because of he's gay. Martell feels that Melodie should give him the kids automatically. Until Martel understands Melody's boundaries, it will continue to be a up hill battle. I also think Martell is seeking full custody to get $$...just saying.

[@Colee617-n6q]

100%

[@Tashone26]

It’s his way to get continued access to her.

[@rocg9503]

And now that the 20 plus babysitters lie isn’t getting any traction. Now he is trying to make her look bad for working and providing. Trying to put down single mothers. News flash, if it weren’t for him and his desires to have his junk sucked by the side chick Melody wouldn’t be a single mother. He’s also a product of a single mother, he also impregnated a single mother, and he is also dating a woman now who was once a single mother. He’s a joke. Throwing anything and everything against the wall to see what sticks.

[@Darlene.Alford]

Exactly, it’s control. Notice when he said ,” and I didn’t even know you were out of town” the hell you need to know that for, sir?

You lost me with some of your comments. Are you saying that Mel caused Martell to sleep with other women???? An adult is accountable for his/her decisions and actions. Martell had been cheating...he didn't just start with Arionne. And, HE made the decision to continue cheating. Martell, himself, have said several times, while giving interviews, that what he perceived as issues within his marriage weren't really that and if he could go back in time, he wouldn't have started cheating.

[@idanilee3]

We all know that Mel was the brains behind the operation, and, obviously, Martell took advantage of her presence. He should've been smart enough to know that if she goes then so goes the lifestyle. It was not Mel's responsibility to save Martell from his true self while being mistreated by him, although she tried. He made his choice and now he has to live with that. No sympathy for him over here.

[@erikaclasen7080]

We all know that Melody was the brains. Heck, every episode showed Melody holding the meetings, giving the speeches, getting the awards. Martell has said several times, " she's not leaving me, we weren't suppose to get divorced". He basically told her to deal with his cheating and that was her only choice. Melody sure showed him. She just mentioned on a live, how men are. They put you down, separate you from friends and family, tell you that nobody will want you and, with 4 kids. My ex did that to me but, little did he know that you get to the point where, you gain the strength to leave because, anything, is better and, you can't muster the strength, to do that, even one more day. My situation was different in the respect my ex husband was abusive. He tapped my phones, had me followed, loosened the lug nuts on my wheels, would hide out in his car across the road and when I would pass the cross street, he'd pull out behind me and try to run me off the road. Even then, I never backed down or came back. I said, at the end of the day, my life is in God's hands. So, do whatever you want. Only He will decide if you'll be successful or not. So, stop popping up on me, boobie trapping my car, etc. Now that Martell knows for sure that, SHE'S DONE!", that's when she needs to be careful and get a restraining order because, that's when a man becomes dangerous. Didn't plan on saying all that. Was triggered by Carlos saying he was afraid for Martell and in a dark place. Hopefully he hasn't heard Martell say anything disturbing. Mel just needs to be on high alert and very careful right now. To always look around first and be aware of her surroundings. Especially when leaving her home or getting into her car. Prayers for Melody, Ms. Van and, the M&M kids always. 🙏

@@ruthcoby2425 it's easy to say that someone should have walked away from a situation, when you yourself aren't in it. Martell has demonstrated himself gaslighting Melody on the show, especially in those first few seasons - so I dread to think what he was saying to her behind closed doors. Melody probably listened to whatever he was saying, because she was young and wanted to keep her family together. Often situations where your partner cheats repeatedly, it destroys your confidence and you think you can't do any better. Whatever the reason, it doesn't matter why Melody stayed so long, the fact is she eventually did choose peace over toxicity and walked away. And she can look back and say she tried and gave her all to her marriage.

I love Dustin’s reviews! He has a great voice, great sense of humor, and a great memory, and he’s very observant. He brings to light things that may appear to be minor and I love that. I also appreciate the fact that he actually sees Melody’s strength. She’s never the loudest one in the room but she’s very strong and he recognizes strengths and vulnerabilities and I like that about him.

[@journeytoabetteru]

➡️Carlos King⬅️ Please have a scene where Kimmie is talking to her son on the new season, my heart went out to him when he was saying he felt left out of what was going on with her. Remember for most of his life it’s been him and his mom, her now having a new husband who is not thinking about her son needing to know or having a talk has to be hard. I saw that scene and had to tell my own husband that if something happened with me not to lock my sons (they are not biologically his) out of what’s going on or caring for me. He said he would never do that. I think this would be another layer to her storyline as well. A lot of times people get sick and think they are protecting their loved ones by not including them and all it leaves is pain and heartache because they wished they could help.

[@p9782]

I noticed that too, Kimmee was so self absorbed, insecure worrying over how a grown man, putting Lierice on a pedestal (while she is fighting Cancer) OVER her son...Man please. I hope Kimmee can let her son know that she made a huge mistake and heal her son's heart cause no doubt she broke it putting Lierice b4 him. Cause Lierice will never ever ever (and he shouldn't) put Kimmee above his son. People don't have a proper interpretation of scripture references about marriage they just accept what their church leaders preach and teach...BETTER ASK GOD! Make it make sense.

[@Samsam19692]

Carlos you was wrong for coming at Mel like she wasn’t listening or she wasn’t doing something or keeping his ego up he left the house he had a baby he talked about Mel He tried to turn the cast members against her anytime he opened up his mouth. It was nothing never good, but he was the one who threw everything away and you go ask her what Carlos you was wrong.

[@vicida1048]

Tishsa is too dayum insecure that's why the girl at Marsau's beverage launch in Texas Kyra in the red dress was a trigger. , Tishsa became too animated over the girl simply saying hello to Marsau. Tishsa telling Maurice to keep an eye on Marsau on the Vegas trip 2021 showed there are some issues in their marriage. That wasn't Mel saying anything to her that was all Tishsa showing her true thoughts about what's happening as far as the infidelity, so Tishsa needs to stop blaming Mel for her insecurities and own it. Plus Mel didn't come to her saying this and that about her marriage she came to Mel asking but didn't like the answer and coped an attitude. Tishsa is jealous of any female that catches Marsau's eye, and there are many. What Keke said at the reunion about Tishsa and her hunting for infidelity evidence (which Tishsa tried to say was 10yrs ago, but the heart emoji indicates it's more recent) proves Mel wasn't wrong and also proves Tishsa is in denial, CASE CLOSED!

The fact that everyone is so forgiving of Martel when he is the ultimate reason for EVERYTHING, is so beyond me. Not one of them is trying to understand what this lady just went through with the dissolution of her marriage, so publicly! They have the audacity to blame her for cutting everyone off while she isolated & tried to figure things out. Once she realized how they were treating her after she “resurfaced” & how things shifted to becoming her fault, she lost interest in their friendships. My friends would have just embraced me, no matter how much time I took to ‘be ok’. Not question why I’ve been so distant. … I understand it!

[@kikimolly1471]

EXACTLY!!!

[@Kahrichey5112]

Exactly! Time away was neccessary for to really process, cry and take an evaluation as to why she was not enough. 2nd Real friends would have allowed her that time but would have been on standby for when she needed them. But part of me want to say that her so called friends knew all about his cheating and that is a hard slap in the face.

[@dubyas4430]

The folks who are mad at her were never her friends. They were all Martells friends she accepted as friends. When Mel left the money left, that's why everyone is truly mad at her. The more unfortunate part of this story is Martell doesn't realize they are NOT his friends either, smh!

Awesome Reunion! I enjoyed Dustin Ross’ perspective so much! Thank you for introducing us to him Carlos!

[@zaydankyle1]

I saw it with my own eyes… Carlos has no sympathy for Mel…. He cares for Martel. What they need to understand is that most of the viewers could’ve easily saw the flaws of Mel and left it there. However the bullying/abuse that was monitored and never addressed from everyone to Mel was awful… AWFUL. I almost thought Mel was in danger like tf / if Martell would put his foot down and say no one should disrespect my children’s mother it would all end, but they’re definitely following his lead

[@stephaniebblessed1548]

I believe his heart went out to Martel in the moment because he’s a black man with NO Emotion and that’s scary-we see our men look strong and then go suicidal-so I believe he was just relating to him as a black man and felt the tension Martel was having! Carlos said everything Martel wouldn’t-I believe Carlos knows that Melody is beyond done there was no need for Carlos to really ask her! Melody 🎶 is glowing and growing while Martel is playing the field trying to build a storyline with Sharee because she needs a storyline as well lol

[@87Lohan]

I think he rightly has sympathy for Martel because he sees the whole picture. Everybody blindly supports Mel and makes Martel the villainCarlos sees Martel is misunderstood and is actually very emotional. Martel messed up no doubt however people do not give him the respect he deserves for supporting his woman’s career and playing number 2. That is an extremely hard thing for any man to do and they get a lot of slack for that amongst their peers especially him hanging around the Scott’s who are the breadwinners of their families. Mel also took that for granted about Martel and she will find it hard to find another man to do what he did for her…allow her to shine and support her moves. When Martell had the baby and she became famous she felt she had to leave because she cares what her fans think of her. She sold her marriage for fame and her career and Carlos knows this. People forget that Carlos is a man and he will always find it easier to see a man’s perspective the same way a lot of women support Mel and only see things from her point of view.

[@LadyRedd09]

@@87Lohan He played number 2 because he was too lazy to get up and help his wife run the businesses he was too busy out trying to move different women to Huntsville so he can cheat in peace. While his wife was bending over backwards making them millionaires and what does he do go out n buy his mistress a matching car with their martial money. Mel begged Martel to start coming to the office to help her out he said no that’s Mel’s thing while it’s his job to go out to the properties but Mel was getting calls saying he’s a no show. Their employees didn’t even trust him to run the business when Mel was leaving, THAT SPEAKS VOLUMES. The Scott’s poked fun at the fact Mel has to read over the contracts and paperwork with him. That man told his wife on national television “DEFEND YOU FOR WHAT” he is the villain. He told his WIFE TO GET USE TO HIS CHEATING” HE ALLOWED HIS MISTRESS TO CALL AND DISRESPECT HIS WIFE!!! Stop making excuses for that man!!! because if the shoe was on the other foot Mel would be all kinds of hoes, etc to which he has called her because she tried dating after filing for divorce but he was willingly cheating for YEARS THROUGHOUT THE DAMN MARRIAGE!

[@LadyRedd09]

The fact he caused the divorce then didn’t allow her to take their children’s beds while she moved into her new place speaks volumes to him as a MAN and FATHER! He stole 17k from her, he allows his mistress to taunt her then he runs his mouth about all her personal business to his mistress and you telling me he’s not a villain Chile please

[@87Lohan]

@@LadyRedd09 it wasn’t laziness, Martell doesn’t have the capacity, skill or brain to do what Mel does. He’s a pretty face and that is what Mel happily married because she wanted all the control in the relationship but it comes at a price! An insecure man will cheat, she knew exactly what she was getting into when marrying him, she knew what she gained and frankly it was working well for her which is why she stayed. She will not get any better than the Martell that you all hate. The fans gassing her up to think she can she cannot. She wouldn’t be willing to play 2nd to a more successful man than her and no man will do what Martell did for her when she comes with 4 young children

[@mahoganyjoy3502]

Dustin didn't lie. Tisha has been waiting for a viral moment to go against Mel while that woman wasn't even try to pay them dust.

[@maryguy1851]

When the marriage started to fall apart and Mel decided she would no longer put up with the disrespect and infidelity, Martel thought it was all a game. She started talking divorce and that silly, immature little man actually didn't mind. He thought he could go off and freely have his side of slaw for a year or two, control Mel in the meantime and then waltz back into the marriage with her properly chastised and broken. He didn't understand that with divorce meant and he overestimated his role in the marriage. He was not the backbone. The guy actually behaved as if divorce was gonna be a safari. Even fool fool Marsau was aware enough to warn him not to destroy his family.
