What happened on Belle Collective season 5 episode 9?

On the Belle Collective season 5 reunion, the cast members discussed the importance of mental health. They emphasized checking up on each other and taking care of your mind, similar to how we take care of our physical health. During this conversation, the show host asked Tamra about her postpartum depression.

The reality TV star shared she was struggling after the birth of her baby. Tamra opened up and stated that most people would ask about the baby and not keep in check with her. She then mentioned she was doing better than before and encouraged others to stay connected with their loved ones. Tamra said:

"Oh, I was fighting that for sure. When London Simone was born, I woke up in ICU. No one really came to say, what is Tambra doing? They're always asking, I want to see the baby, you know?"

Later at the reunion, Antoinette addressed her statement that "the problem with the Collective was Lateshia Pearson." She said that Lateshia was a friend off-camera, and once the filming began, she would ask questions and "dig" more about every situation. The Belle Collective star got into an argument with Lateshia when she defended herself. Antoinette said:

"I believe that she's your friend behind closed doors. when the cameras are on, she takes every opportunity to dig and dig and dig and then when we're on camera, she's like what happened?"

They began talking over each other until the show's host interrupted their conversation and moved to the next question. All previous episodes of Belle Collective season 5 are available to stream on OwN TV. New episodes air every week on Fridays at 8/7c.
