If you've been watching Love & Hip Hop Atlanta since the beginning, you've learned that Yung Joc never really had just one woman in his life. Between his gang of baby mamas and current girlfriends, he really does love women. So when Karlie found out that Joc has been creeping around with Tommie, you'd think she should have know what she was getting into considering Joc's track record. But as Sina (yes, one of Joc's baby mamas) and Karlie spoke, it was clear that Karlie saw beyond Joc's inability to keep it in his pants. She quickly realized that Tommie was using Joc to get back at Karlie for getting with Scrapp. And instead of being upset that Joc had been with another woman, she was ready to get back at Tommie in a big way.

The conversation shifted to Scrappy and Bambi's wedding, and he revealed that it wasn't happening. Rasheeda assumed that Scrappy had done something wrong, but he explained that it was something he and Bam mutually decided. He explained that they just weren't working as a couple--despite how much they loved each other.
