Crystal: [looks at Devale] D I'm not tryna show my ass so please get your mama
Vicky: [chuckles] oh but you already showed your ass on that sex tape
Devale: omg ma please just stop!! Crystal I'm sorry about all this, don't worry imma fix it!
Crystal: [heads to the door]
Vicky: lil girl if you touch that door knob I swear I'll blow up your entire career! One phonecall to the blogs and poof! Reputation ruined!
Crystal stops and turns around, she slowly makes her way back to the living room and takes a seat
Vicky: [smiles] you're a smart girl for cooperating
Devale: ma that tape implicates me too! Please just let Crystal go, she doesn't deserve any of this!
Kay: yes it implicates you both but honey you and I have been in this industry long enough to know that the public ALWAYS blames the other woman
Vicky: exactly! And since we're controlling the narrative we can falsify the version of events
Devale: you wouldn't dare
Vicky: try me!!
Devale: [looks at Crys and mouths I'm sorry]
Vicky: contrary to what you think son, I love you and I have your best interests at heart! You and Kay built this empire 17 years ago and based it on a solid FATITHFUL foundation! I will be damned if I just sit back and watch you ruin all that for some skank!
Crystal: Ms Vicky I understand that you're upset and so am I but do you see how I continue to address you with respect? I expect the same from you!
Devale: yeah ma the name calling is not cool, chill on that
Vicky: [sighs] okay fine I'll stop!
Crystal: [annoyed] so are we done here? I got things to do
Vicky: so you don't care if I blow up your career?
Crystal: I didn't say that but I know how this gon go. Yall want me to stay away from Devale in return of yall not posting that tape! I can do that, I've been doing that!! Your son is the one who can't seem to stay away from me
Devale: [scoffs] touchè Crys
Crystal: but did I lie?
Devale: [chuckles] nah
Crystal: exactly! So uhm yeah yall got a deal- imma head out now because like I said... I got things to do!
Kay: [laughs] oh girl hush, you ain't that got damn busy
Crystal: [chuckles] well Kay Kay, some of us actually have jobs and careers! We don't survive off our husband's checks
Kay: [fuming] bitch you can't come to MY house and disrespect me, get tf out!!
Crystal: [scoffs] gladly!
Vicky: Khadeen calm down, Crystal sit down! I'm not done talking
Crystal: what else is there to talk about?
Vicky: Jordyn
Crystal and Devale lock eyes because remember, no one knows about the 5 year old daughter except them 2. (Or so they thought...)
Devale: [interjects] ma Crystal ain't got shit to do with that! She doesn't even know the girl
Crystal: exactly! My business with yall is done, I have to go meet with my assistant
Vicky: she's involved because she knows too much!
Devale: no she doesn't ma, like I said she don't even know her
Vicky: [chuckles] she may not know her but she knows about Amira
Kay: [confused] who tf is Amira?!
Crystal: [silent but locks eyes with Devale]
Vicky: I'm sure Crystal can tell you, go ahead dear
Devale: Crystal don't!!
Crystal: like I said that night D, it's not my business to tell
Devale: [smiles]
Kay: [angry] I said who tf is Amira??! Somebody better answer me, nowwww!
Crystal: -silent-
Vicky: -silent-
Devale: -silent-
Kay: oh so yall don't hear me talking?! Okay fine! [Grabs her phone] Crystal if you don't start talking I'm posting this shit to my IG
Crystal: [eyes wide] D do something!!
Devale: [tries to grabs the phone from her] Khadeen no!! Crystal has nothing to do with this, look can we talk about this in private?
Kay: no! Clearly, yall been talking in private enough!
Vicky: oh for heaven sakes!! Devale you better start talking now!! Be a man and tell your wife what you did
Devale: [exhales] okay fine, Amira is my da.. daughter
Kay: [tears start falling] your what?! You have a daughter?
Devale: [sighs] yeah and I'm sorry you had to find out this way
Kay: and you told her before telling me?
Devale: [teary-eyed] yes but baby it's not like that! I didn't tell you because I didn't wanna hurt you
Kay: how old is she? How long have you known? How long has everyone been making a fool out of me?!
Devale: she's 5
Kay: FIVE FUCKIN YEARS??! you played in my face for 5 years??! So what, you've been having secret daddy-daughter meetings?
Devale: [drops his head] no, I've never even met her
Vicky: yes because I personally made sure of that
They all stare at Vicky with a wtf look
Vicky: don't look at me like that!! I won't stop at nothing to protect the brand and this family
Devale: [angry] ma that little girl is your fuckin family too!!!
Vicky: watch who tf you're talking to
Devale: [sighs] ma what did you do?
Vicky: I made her sign an NDA stating that if she stays out of your life FOREVER and never goes public about the baby then she'd be well taken care of
Devale: [teary-eyed] you robbed me off 5 years with my daughter??! [Starts crying] you got me outchea looking like a deadbeat
Vicky: not exactly! The deal was that if she stayed away she'd be generously compensated and since she was out of a job- it was easy for her to accept the deal. Don't worry son, she's well taken care of
Devale: [angry] you are sickkk!!! What kinda mother does this typa shit?! That's my fuckin daughter yo, money isn't the answer to every fuckin thing!!! But of course you wouldn't know that
Vicky: [slaps him hard across the face] I told you to watch your fuckin mouth!!
Crystal: [clears her throat] uhm ykw I'm leaving, yall clearly got some family issues to work out and it ain't got shit to do with me. Ms Vicky you have yourself a deal concerning that sex tape- trust me when I say I'll stay far away from your son!!! I don't want no parts to this shit show yall got going on *she leaves*
Devale: ma you really had no business doing that! Why'd you have to involve Crystal in our family issues?
Vicky: oh please, she involved herself! You know I hadn't heard from Jordyn in 5 years until some time last week, she said something about Crystal DM-ing her on IG
Kay: [shocked] whaaaat?!
Vicky: yep! And because of her snooping Jordyn now wants to sue you Devale, for child negligence! And since you're a rich celebrity it's not looking good for you baby, she can get quite a chunk of your life savings!
Devale: she can't fuckin do that!! She's the one who kept me out of her life
Vicky: she only did that because I threatened her son
Devale: whyyyyy?!
Vicky: because Devale, I thought I was protecting you and this family!
Devale: [sighs and grabs his car keys]
Kay: where tf are you going?
Devale: I'm going to get some air
Kay: yo ass better not go to Crystal's house or I swear on everything Devale, I will expose you!!!
