Family or Fiance returned for an all-new shocking episode on Saturday night. This week's episode was titled, Brandy and Akin: The Devil's in the Dealbreakers.
Viewers were introduced to Brandy and Akin, who have been engaged for over seven months despite having some unresolved issues. However, things took an unexpected turn when Brandy's mother revealed a piece of news that sparked a heated discussion between the couple.
During Episode 3 of Family or Fiance, Brandy's mother revealed that Akin had used a racial slur and that she heard about it from Brandy herself. Brandy's sister was infuriated by this and questioned Akin about the allegation. Akin was quick to deny it and deemed it to be "fake news".
Fans who witnessed Akin outright deny his racially insensitive comment, didn't believe him. They took to social media to share their opinions.
Akin denies using a racial slur in front of Brandy in Family or Fiance, Episode 3
In this week's episode, the first task for the couple was to answer the questions posed by their partner's family. When Brandy's family questioned Akin on his use of a racial slur, he blatantly denied it and claimed that he would never use that word, adding that his fiance had lied about it.
During his confessional, the Family or Fiance star shared:
"I feel like these people have zero reason to judge me, because they don't even know me."
Akin went on to say that people who knew him knew that he wasn't a racist. Brandy's sister, Anjel, then pointed out that she didn't say that he was a racist:
"You have to understand that when I heard about your use of the N-word, that frustrated and upset me as well. If I can understand your frustration, please try to understand mine. You just said I called you a racist, and I never did. I inquired in, or expressed concern about your use of the N-word."
Following the questions session, the topic of the Family or Fiance star's usage of the racial slur was brought into the discussion once more.
When Akin once again claimed that Brandy was lying, the accusation didn't sit well with her. Although she tried to contain her anger, she could no longer keep quiet after he labeled her liar once again on a different issue.
She had a sudden outburst and began yelling at Akin:
"So I'm just lying about everything, Akin? I'm lying about the baby, I'm lying about you saying the N-word, I was lying about every f**king thing. Is that the case? You are f**king lying. You are trying to call me to be a liar. You are getting me upset."
Akin, however, showed no emotion and continued to insist that Brandy was lying. Fans who witnessed the entire ordeal took to social media to share their opinion.

Taking to Twitter, fans shared that Akin was lying by being dismissive about the whole thing. Apart from that, a few also added that the Family or Fiance star was rolling out red flags with his consistent denial.
