I heard K. Michelle's single "VSOP" on The Heat today on Sirius/XM.
But I couldn't really listen to it fairly because K. Michelle comes across as a mean, unsavory human being on "Love & Hip Hop Atlanta."
An image consultant on the episode Monday said that indeed, her image is hurting people's desire to listen to her music. Does she even get it? It's hard to say because she takes pride in her 'firecracker" image.
Her friend Ariane manages to patch things up with Mimi over getting in the middle of the Mimi/K. Michelle fight (which K. Michelle instigated by telling Mimi she thinks Niko is gay.) But she doesn't get K. Michelle to budge an inch over her comments about Niko.
Here are four other things we learned from this episode:
- Niko seems like Stevie Lite. He gives her advice about some new T-shirt line Mimi is doing. She gets annoyed. The shine is off the rose of this relationship. "Now you want to coach me," Mimi said. "I don't need another Stevie J to tell me to be successful. I've got this." He lacks the swagger of Stevie J that makes him such delightful television.
- Shay can't help herself when it comes to Lil Scrappy. She reconciles with Scrappy for a moment to have sex. She admits she loves him. But then she has second thoughts - again. "He thinks he can use and abuse me and treat me like garbage," she said. So she dumps him and takes a little pride in that.
- Joseline's on-again/off-again relationship with Stevie J is off for now. Why? Stevie J gets her to apologize to Che Mack about getting physical with her. But Joseline gets upset when he finds out Stevie J awhile ago had bought Che Mack a TV. Her jealousy hackles go up and she says no more Stevie J for her - at least until the next episode.
- Kirk is Mr. Mope. Can this man crack a smile? While Rasheeda is shooting a video to promote her singles and website, he gets all annoyed because she's "over budget." But what he's really annoyed about is the baby in her tummy. He asks her to have an abortion and even implies that perhaps it's not his. She kicks him out of the photo shoot. Papa don't preach!
Number of physical altercations: zero!
Ratings from last week: The seventh episode edged up to 2.81 million, up from a season low on Memorial Day. but that's a bit below its average its first five episodes.
