Jacqueline defends Mia but also states she doesn't think Gordon and Inc should mix especially in front of the kids. The ladies think Mia lies a lot as Mia continues to blame Gordon and his mental illness. The ladies don't believe Mia when she states Gordon wants to be at the reunion and apologize to Mia and the ladies. Gizelle thinks Mia is only on an "apology tour" because social media tore her to "smithereens". Apparently Mia thinks she's the Beyonce and the other ladies are all Michelle's. In an Unseen Footage of Ashley's drag debut, Mia got into Gizelle face when they fought about Mia bringing up Gizelle's daughters. Mia walks off when Gizelle states she's a "horrible mother" for publicly using her kids for a manufactured storyline.
