episode three of the Smoke. Plaintiff in the group's tenth
tour stop is in Detroit, Michigan, Plaintiff's hometown. Plaintiff is
at odds with the group because of their constant cigarette smoking.
Plaintiff expresses she wants to relax by herself so that
she has time to think. Plaintiff in the group's eleventh
tour stop is in Columbus, Ohio. Plaintiff again complains about
the constant smoking in close quarters because her voice is
suffering is hoarse, she couldn't hit her high notes, and
that the constant smoking was making it worse. One of
the smokers, the only other female in the group, called
plaintiff adiva. Plaintiff tries to mitigate the constant cigarette smoke
in close proximity, asking her group members if they could
open a window while they smoked, which they initially did
but then closed later because it was making them cold. Plaintiff,
growing visibly upset, exclaimed that her voice was touched by God,
that God gave her this voice and she was not
going to let anyone ruin it. Plaintiff's spouse shows up,
where she confinds in them about the smoking issue. Plaintiff's
spouse discusses the issue with defending Jason, whose reply is
that plaintiff is not perfect and she needed to deal
with their constant smoking the same way they had to
deal with Plaintiff's alleged chronic lateness. Plaintiff later refutes this
to defend in Jason. Plaintiff in the group's twelve tor
stop is in Charlotte, North Caro, described as a little
club in the hood. While at this tour stop, a
patron throws a drink at Plaintiff's smoking her. Plaintiff is
able to point out the assailant to security, who physically
remove them from the venue. Shortly thereafter, Plaintiff in the
group make a hurried exit to their car as guns
are drawn by security. Plaintiff expresses her frustration from the
disrespect of having a drink thrown on her. Defending Ditty
hears about the incident and states he won't let the
group bring down the bad Boy brand. Defending Ditty also
says bad Boy the company represents excellence and also responsibility
to carry themselves in the most professional way possible. Defending
Ditty then request plaintiff and the group returned from tor
back to NYC. Upon their return, Plaintiff attempts to address
the smoking issue with Defendan Ditty, her boss, instead of
listening and carrying himself in a professional way, Defending Ditty
made fun of and mock plaintiff responding to her very
valid and reasonable complaint with wamp wamp wamp. Defending Ditty
further tells plaintiff she needs to tough enough, as if
it's a way to toughen up enough to not be
exposed to cancer from secondhand smoke. Defending Ditty then tells
plaintiff and the group they will now be residing with
him at his Park Avenue residence. Plaintiff's still unsatisfied and
hurt from her meeting with her boss, Defending Ditty contacted
her spouse to discuss the smoking issue. Plaintiff said she
felt Defendan Ditty made fun of her. Plaintiff said Defending
Ditty told her to tough enough, but she's already a
tough person. Defending Ditty then returns to his residence, where
he demands all the members of the group eat with him,
seeing plaintiff is clearly still in distress from their previous interaction.
Defending Ditty decides to antagonize plaintiff further. Defending Ditty expressed
he believed plaintiff's real issue wasn't the smoking, it was
her being realistic and that her life wasn't fair baby girl.
Defending Ditty expressed he believed it was his responsibility to
be tough on play. Defending Ditty expressed, he believed it
was his responsibility to be tough on plaintiff because if
he was not, others would take advantage of her. Defending
Ditty then made plaintiff pray over food, which she did
with humility and grace. Defending Ditty continues antagonizing plaintiff, asking
her why she wasn't eating and asking her how far
were we going to push this. Defendan Ditty then accuses
plaintiff of rolling her eyes at him. Plaintiff, obviously distraught,
just wants time to think and allowed this issue to
get her unfocused. MTB two, Season three, episode four, Plaintiff
versus Everybody Plaintiff in the group's thirteenth tor stop in Birmingham, Alabama.
Defending Ditty complains about the lackluster stage performances of the
group and offers showmanship tips. Defendan Ditty says it was
times the other group members alienated plaintiff, but it was
time to bring her back into the fold. Plaintiff is
told that her daughter has pneumonia. Plaintiff wants to go
home to be with their child, but the group members
resist a request to go home. Since plaintiff's group members
will poser request or return home to tend to her
sick child, this causes problems between plaintiff and her spouse.
Plaintiff complains that she doesn't know if her music career
is worth considering she couldn't even leave to check on
her sick child. Defended Jason finds a compromise for plaintiff
to leave to check on her child. After the show,
Defending Ditty apparently bored, then no altercations occurred as seen
yelling fight, fight, finally have a fight. The fight Defending
Ditty as referring to, is between plaintiff and another group
member over plaintiff's spouse. All right, we're going to wrap
up right here, and then the next episode we're going
to pick up with MTB two Season three, episode five.
