00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:51,839
at odds with the group because of their constant cigarette smoking.

tour stop is in Columbus, Ohio. Plaintiff again complains about

139
00:08:02,279 --> 00:08:05,199
the constant smoking in close quarters because her voice is

140
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:08,519
suffering is hoarse, she couldn't hit her high notes, and

141
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:12,319
that the constant smoking was making it worse. One of

142
00:08:12,319 --> 00:08:14,800
the smokers, the only other female in the group, called

143
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:19,120
plaintiff adiva. Plaintiff tries to mitigate the constant cigarette smoke

144
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:22,439
in close proximity, asking her group members if they could

145
00:08:22,439 --> 00:08:25,360
open a window while they smoked, which they initially did

146
00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:29,759
but then closed later because it was making them cold. Plaintiff,

147
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:32,919
growing visibly upset, exclaimed that her voice was touched by God,

148
00:08:33,159 --> 00:08:35,279
that God gave her this voice and she was not

149
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:38,759
going to let anyone ruin it. Plaintiff's spouse shows up,

150
00:08:38,799 --> 00:08:42,559
where she confinds in them about the smoking issue. Plaintiff's

151
00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:46,120
spouse discusses the issue with defending Jason, whose reply is

152
00:08:46,159 --> 00:08:48,720
that plaintiff is not perfect and she needed to deal

153
00:08:48,759 --> 00:08:51,240
with their constant smoking the same way they had to

154
00:08:51,279 --> 00:08:55,440
deal with Plaintiff's alleged chronic lateness. Plaintiff later refutes this

155
00:08:55,519 --> 00:08:58,679
to defend in Jason. Plaintiff in the group's twelve tor

00:09:07,919 --> 00:09:10,720
able to point out the assailant to security, who physically

160
00:09:10,799 --> 00:09:14,519

162
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:21,399

163
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:24,639

164
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:26,919
hears about the incident and states he won't let the

165
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:30,399

170
00:09:46,039 --> 00:09:49,600
the smoking issue with Defendan Ditty, her boss, instead of

171
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:53,200
listening and carrying himself in a professional way, Defending Ditty

172
00:09:53,279 --> 00:09:56,639
made fun of and mock plaintiff responding to her very

173
00:09:56,759 --> 00:10:02,360
valid and reasonable complaint with wamp wamp wamp. Defending Ditty

174
00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:05,919
further tells plaintiff she needs to tough enough, as if

175
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:08,960
it's a way to toughen up enough to not be

176
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:13,200
exposed to cancer from secondhand smoke. Defending Ditty then tells

177
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:15,759
plaintiff and the group they will now be residing with

178
00:10:15,879 --> 00:10:20,159
him at his Park Avenue residence. Plaintiff's still unsatisfied and

179
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:23,159
hurt from her meeting with her boss, Defending Ditty contacted

180
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:26,600
her spouse to discuss the smoking issue. Plaintiff said she

181
00:10:26,639 --> 00:10:30,000
felt Defendan Ditty made fun of her. Plaintiff said Defending

182
00:10:30,039 --> 00:10:32,600
Ditty told her to tough enough, but she's already a

183
00:10:32,639 --> 00:10:36,519
tough person. Defending Ditty then returns to his residence, where

184
00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:39,159
he demands all the members of the group eat with him,

185
00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:43,240
seeing plaintiff is clearly still in distress from their previous interaction.

186
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:48,519
Defending Ditty decides to antagonize plaintiff further. Defending Ditty expressed

187
00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:51,840
he believed plaintiff's real issue wasn't the smoking, it was

188
00:10:51,919 --> 00:10:55,120
her being realistic and that her life wasn't fair baby girl.

189
00:10:55,879 --> 00:10:59,320
Defending Ditty expressed he believed it was his responsibility to

190
00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:02,879
be tough on play. Defending Ditty expressed, he believed it

191
00:11:02,919 --> 00:11:05,960
was his responsibility to be tough on plaintiff because if

192
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:09,320
he was not, others would take advantage of her. Defending

193
00:11:09,399 --> 00:11:12,200
Ditty then made plaintiff pray over food, which she did

194
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:17,720
with humility and grace. Defending Ditty continues antagonizing plaintiff, asking

195
00:11:17,759 --> 00:11:21,320
her why she wasn't eating and asking her how far

196
00:11:21,879 --> 00:11:24,799
were we going to push this. Defendan Ditty then accuses

197
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:28,720
plaintiff of rolling her eyes at him. Plaintiff, obviously distraught,

198
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:31,759
just wants time to think and allowed this issue to

199
00:11:31,919 --> 00:11:36,840
get her unfocused. MTB two, Season three, episode four, Plaintiff

200
00:11:36,919 --> 00:11:41,399
versus Everybody Plaintiff in the group's thirteenth tor stop in Birmingham, Alabama.

201
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:45,480
Defending Ditty complains about the lackluster stage performances of the

202
00:11:45,519 --> 00:11:50,240
group and offers showmanship tips. Defendan Ditty says it was

203
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:53,519
times the other group members alienated plaintiff, but it was

204
00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:56,320
time to bring her back into the fold. Plaintiff is

205
00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:59,159
told that her daughter has pneumonia. Plaintiff wants to go

206
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:01,799
home to be with their child, but the group members

207
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:05,519
resist a request to go home. Since plaintiff's group members

208
00:12:05,519 --> 00:12:07,960
will poser request or return home to tend to her

209
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:11,960
sick child, this causes problems between plaintiff and her spouse.

210
00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:15,519
Plaintiff complains that she doesn't know if her music career

211
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:18,600
is worth considering she couldn't even leave to check on

212
00:12:18,639 --> 00:12:22,120
her sick child. Defended Jason finds a compromise for plaintiff

213
00:12:22,159 --> 00:12:24,320
to leave to check on her child. After the show,

214
00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:28,720
Defending Ditty apparently bored, then no altercations occurred as seen

215
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:32,960
yelling fight, fight, finally have a fight. The fight Defending

216
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:36,120
Ditty as referring to, is between plaintiff and another group

217
00:12:36,159 --> 00:12:39,240
member over plaintiff's spouse. All right, we're going to wrap

218
00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:41,159
up right here, and then the next episode we're going

219
00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:44,120
to pick up with MTB two Season three, episode five.
