Mona Scott Young Speaks On 'Love and Hip Hop: Atlanta' Brawl and Joseline

Mona Responds To Reunion Brawl

'Love and Hip Hop' producer is finally speaking out about Joseline and the Atlanta reunion brawl in a new interview with Centric Arise 360. Mona has been getting a lot of flack for promoting the violence and foolishness that surrounds her franchise.

In a statement below, she says the reason why people keep watching is because people 'see themselves' in the show

"You know, from a personal perspective, there are certain things that I feel like ‘Oh, God.’ Some of the stuff sometimes, I think pushes the envelope a little outside of the boundary…But a big part of what I think makes the show successful is that everyone just expresses themselves at will and sometimes it’s not in line with how the rest of us would express ourselves…But I think people understand the motivations sometimes."

She also says some people understand Joseline's struggles, but were disappointed with her actions.

She speaks to Yahoo about joining a TV show that is not reality TV

"I think Halle understands the world that I come from. She was familiar with me being an actress for the past 15 years and then making a return to reality TV and a lot of people not understanding," Roman tells Yahoo TV. "'She may have started on reality, but she's been working successfully as an actress for 15 years, andBasketball Wives is not indicative of her body of work.' She knew the scrutiny that I came under for Basketball Wives, and I think she just wanted to help me get back into scripted programming and be classed as acting rather than [in] the reality aspect of things."

Words can’t even express. But this particular project just wasn’t for me. After learning more about the situation & how the Haughton family truly felt, I just didn’t feel like it was right.

Exclusive Interview: Tasha's Alleged Stalker Monet Merchand Speaks Out

Monet: Tasha Is A Bitter, Old, Desperate Person

Exclusive: Since there wasn't now reunion the 5th season of ' Basketball Wives' , I wanted to know the Tasha/Monet situation since that storyline ended started the last two episodes of the show. I felt we did not get enough of what happened. I had the opportunity to interview Money Merchand who was accused of 'stalking' Tasha. She spilled a lot of tea. She says she was asked to be on the show by producer Stephanie Edmonds, she also says that no one stalked Tasha and refers to her as an "bitter, old , desperate person." She says that Tami Roman was disrespectful and that she would have been at the reunion show. She also confirms she will appear on this season's Love and Hip Hop:NY with Rich Dollaz and Erica Mena.

Here is the interview

Being on Basketball Wives

Yes I received a call from one of the producers (Stephanie Edmonds) in February 2013 it was on a monday. Stephanie had called me regarding the show Basketball wives Miami 5 asking me did i want to participate in a episode on the show and share my side of the story because all the mefia frenzy built around me & this situation with stephon was a very public situation. Stephanie told me the invite was indeed on Tasha Marbury's behalf anf tasha wanted me on the show to meet me. I was hesitant at first but then decided to do the taping. When she called me the ladies were all filming in london for london fashion week the producers were filming basketball wives in london from monday - thurs in february 2013 but i was unable to renew my passport in time so they rescheduled my taping and conducted the meeting with Tasha Marbury in LA. That is what everyone seen on the finale.

On the finale, was that the only scene you appeared on?

Yes, the restaurant scene.



Set the record straight on this 'stalker thing. Why does Tasha accuse you of being stalker? How did the drama started?


Let's set the record straight. No one was allegedly "stalking" boring a$$ tasha, she is a snooze. There is a BIG difference between putting a b!tch on blast and "stalking" her. Tasha is a bitter old desperate and insecure person who put her dreams and life on hold for a man who played her and in return she was seeking revenge. Tasha needed someone to blame for incompetence within herself and failing so called "marriage." She needed someone to blame & i was her target. Tasha concocted and fabricatef this whole storyline about me to feel adequate about herself. But it backfired and once again Tasha is a Non MF factor. She has no name outside of Stephon Marbury, she isn't reputable. If it wasn't for Monet Merchand, Stephon Marbury, or Evelyn Lozada she would be a fart in the wind. Once again who is "Tasha Marbury???" Never heard of her. Womp Womp!



Do you personally know Stephon Marbury? 

Yes. I no longer speak to him.



People want to know why do you follow the other women on the show and what are your thoughts on the other women?

Is this a "trick" question?? Lol i followed these ladies just like the rest of the general public can follow them. The Basketball wives season started in 2010 i liked the show so i followed them point blank period. They just chose to point me out to the public eye & promote me out of the millions of others following them. These ladies (Shaunie Oneal, Evelyn Lozada & Tami Roman) are all public figures anyone can follow them on Social media newtworks. What did i do that was so different? Think about it?!?! I'm ONE in a Million. Tami Roman was disrespectful, Shaunie Oneal.& Evelyn Lozada were cool, in general i liked the ladies abd i enjoyed filming and had a good laugh.



Now there was supposed to be a reunion show but it was canceled. Were invited to be at the reunion?

Yes I would have been invited if there was one & it hadn't been cancelled.



Let's talk more about you. What do you actually do for a living?


I am a female rap artist and entertainer. A architect of music and culture. Music is my drug, I have been building my resume since the late 90's early 2000's. I also produce independent films and ink distribution deals for them. The latest project i have worked on was a film called Alexandria leaving with director John Zhao. I also wrote and produced rhe soundtrack/music for the movie. I will be making an appearance on this season's Love & Hip hop New York with Rich Dollaz and Erica Mena.

The social engineers are the creators who are the REAL Game changers. When you change the game you change the world! I'm a Marathon runner not a "Sprinter." I am in this for the Long haul not just for a "Check" lol I don't work for wages, I work for profit. I am very passionate, love, and live for what i do. Slow and steady WINS the race. Living legend, longevity. #WinnersCircle Do as thou Wilt #LoveIsLove. Stay Tuned!

Tashera Simmons Speaks On Erica Mena's Abusive Relationship With Terror Squad Member

Tashera Simmons Releases New Book

Celebrity News: DMX;s estranged wife, Tashera Simmons, has released a new book about her toxic relationship with the rapper. She talks exclusively to Bossip about the new book and she also talks Erica Mena's past abusive relationship with a Terror Squad member.

Here is what she says about it

Yes, this was before [she was on Love & Hip Hop]. She was with someone famous out of the Terror Squad and we were all in a famous producer’s house out in Miami. And I was
witnessing her get beat really bad and no one would do anything, including my ex-husband and all his friends. So, I jumped in and tried to break it up because he was really pounding on her. And by me trying to do that, it made X have to jump in and pull me out of it and out of a room where I was basically fighting them trying to get back in and help her. And she always held that for years before she was even “reality star” Erica Mena.
I wound up running into her at a fashion show and they were like “Erica Mena wants to see you.” And I didn’t know who she was because I don’t really watch much TV but, she came over crying. And I’ve met a lot of women who’ve come up to me crying and saying that I’m an inspiration so, I thought that’s what she was doing. But she said “you don’t remember me?” And I’m like “no.” And she said “I’m the girl that was getting beat up and you jumped in and helped me.” And then I remembered and I was like “Oh my god.” And she said “before you did that, I thought that it was ok to get beat because no one told me. I felt like I was supposed to do what my man says to do.” And she said that he beat her that day because she didn’t serve him first and when I jumped in, she said she realized that it was not right. And that really touched me.

Stevie J's Baby Mama Speaks Out About Him Owing Her Child Support

Stevie J's Baby Mother Speaks Out

Reality News: Stevie J's other baby mama who is Carol Bennet is speaking to Vibe Vixen about Stevie J owing her 1.8 million in child support. Carol, who is a music executive says the two split in 1999 and he has been missing payments since it was first ordered. Stevie J has two kids with her. Both are teens. She says watching him on TV was tough on them.

"I’ve been working since I was 14 years old. I’m not going to wait for anything from him. I will take care of my children by any means necessary. As a parent, that’s what should be done. However, the responsibility should not be solely on me. His responsibility should not fall on me. I don’t want him arrested; I just want him to support his children.”

Bennett says it’s been difficult to collect on child support because Stevie J has moved out of state since child support was first ordered. He’s also managed to dodge the system. Two arrest warrants for nonpayment of child support, issued in 2008 and 2010, mysteriously disappeared. She even received a statement at one point, stating he owed $0—when in fact he owed $1.28 million. Because of this, she’s no longer relying on the state of New York for help. Project Child Support is now investigating to uncover and collect any assets Jordan has, including any companies that are being used as a financial shelter."

That's not the only think, Stevie J responded in a voicemail provided by Radar Online

"What’s going on, uh I see all this press it’s going crazy and then I see something ’bout a press conference on October 31. I would ask you not to do a press conference…so let’s try to figure out what we doing, what’s goin’ on aight?”

"Unfortunately, I'm no longer pregnant. That's a decision I thought long and hard about and I just felt like this is not the situation. Although, I am a grown woman and I should of thought about that before we did what we did... but things happened and I'm only human."


"The song was not meant to be diss track. Now the guy that I have on the track with me is a long time friend and we go way back, he's like a brother to me" she continued, "I heard what he said and I said 'oh s--t, this finna make it diss track.' Although, I threw jabs a Joseline it wasn't suppose to be a diss track towards Stevie J, But when my homeboy laid down what he laid down I couldn't say no don't do that because that's kind of like my brother and I was just like 'F-k it' lets take it all the way."


"I definitely see myself on a reality show. Have I been contacted by any reality shows? What I can say is -YES. I have been contacted by a few people from Love and Hip Hop and the only thing I can say about that is that you have to stay tuned to see what happens.

That’s one of the issues, yeah,” adding that Karen and Carla wouldn't be returning either.  Ramona then goes on to insinuate that the producers of Mob Wives weren't always truthful with the ladies behind the scenes, and I get the feeling they were trying to stir up craziness
