The truth comes out!
First of all, Mimi Faust admits to friends Ariane and Erica that she had lied to them about the sex tape.
Sure, she still believes (idiotically) that her boyfriend Nikko "lost" the tape of them having sex. Then she tells her friends that Vivid, the production company, and Nikko convinced her to add more scenes to give the tape more heft. That's why folks who watched it said it looked "produced" because part of it was indeed done like a porn.
Why she held this back all this time to her friends is beyond me. But then her friends get very judgmental and she walks out.
Of course, she can't believe that Nikko is still married and his "nonchalant" reaction is even more puzzling when she confronts him the new that was "leaked" to Mediatakeout. He acts like she caught him farting or forgetting to clean the toilet. But she feels understandably betrayed by this massive omission and leaves.
She then goes to a friend of Nikko's to get more dirt on him. The friend said he knew Nikko had "set her up" with the "leaked" sex tape and was just using her. He also said Nikko might have more sex tapes available that she knows nothing about. She decides to stay close to Nikko and try to figure out what's going on.
This would be far more interesting if Nikko wasn't such a bore. He even makes betrayal of this degree dull. What does Mimi see in this dude anyway?

The complicated dance between Joseline and Stevie J continues. She rages. He appeases. She rages some more. He gets her to meet Snoop Dogg while he produces a song with the legend. She's suddenly okay. Fame (or vicinity thereof) soothes!
Speaking of truth, Stevie J finally admits to (of all people) Snoop Dogg that he did smash Benzino's fiance Althea. Why he told the cameras and Joseline a thousand time he didn't do so up to this point is beyond me. Everyone knows he did. Why bother lying? It just enraged Joseline even more. He's just dragging out this whole situation for no reason.
"I have to come clean with myself," he said. "I hurt Joseline so much. I don't want to hurt her anymore."
He promises to Snoop he'll finally tell Joseline the truth that night. But she looks way too hot coming out of the pool. He hasn't been able to smash the Puerto Rican princess in awhile so he figured he'll wait to tell her truth the next day because he wants some.
Stevie J may make stupid decisions but he's always entertaining.

Karlie Redd, whose story lines never feel organic, says she decides to take revenge on Yung Joc for cheating on her. She bought out a song they recorded together from the producer and took his credit off of it. When she invites him to the video shoot to inform him of this, he is not pleased - naturally. This could very well end up in court.
***
And in a story line that the producers can even barely care about, Tammy wants to check her fertility with hubby Waka Flocka. She insists he gets his sperm checked. He's reluctant.
***
Benzino and Althea are still on course to get hitched. He repeats how he doesn't need no stinkin' prenup. That sends bad jeu jeu. Besides, they're going to be together forever!
***
Taking the week off: Lil Scrappy and his ladies. Kirk and Rasheeda were on the show but as ancillary reactionary characters now that their marriage is back on track.
NEXT WEEK
More shenanigans related to the sex tape and Nikko and Mimi. Plus, the Joseline is insulted when Stevie J believes Benzino's accusations that she is bullying Althea.
TV RATINGS
Oddly, VH1 played a new episode on a Thursday July 31 and the ratings were only about 2.16 million, then 2.3 million again the following Monday with the repeat. So many people missed it the previous Thursday, they just caught up the following Monday during the normal time. This dragged down the season average which is around 3.6 million.
