"Knife in my heart" — Love After Lockup star Jakeema learns about Donny's charges

In the latest episode of Love After Lockup which aired on January 10, 2025, Jakeema's life was thrown into chaos upon discovering Donny's conduct report, which alleged his involvement in a plan to distribute drugs to fellow inmates. The report detailed various substances, including synthetic marijuana and tobacco.

Furthermore, Donny had utilized Jakeema's CashApp account to facilitate the transaction, inadvertently entangling her in the misconduct. Jakeema was struck with shock and despair, feeling as though her trust had been betrayed. As a single mother of two, she had always prioritized her family's well-being and had explicitly communicated to Donny that any engagement in illicit activities would be unacceptable.

"Like, drugs? I'm not being a part of that. I have too much to lose. I have my own life, I have kids, and my kids only have me at the end of the day. If that is the case that [Donny] is procuring drugs, I will be hurt. Like, a knife in my heart, hurt," said Jakeema.

Despite initially standing by Donny during his incarceration, Jakeema was now compelled to reassess their relationship. The fact that her name was linked to the drug charge, albeit unwittingly, left her with a lingering sense of unease and concern for her family's safety. Jakeema had kept Donny's incarceration and their relationship hidden from her family, but after this recent revelation, she had been reevaluating their bond and questioning whether it was sustainable.

Although Savannah offered an apology, Alissa accused her of being controlling and manipulative, leading to a heated exchange. Savannah acknowledged that Alissa's words had a profound impact on her due to their complicated history, which included a physical altercation months prior.

Savannah made an effort to establish boundaries and emphasized the importance of prioritizing her well-being on Love After Lockup. Savannah's experience with Alissa had taught her that Alissa knew exactly how to provoke her.

"I think it's important for me to create boundaries with you, and maybe I haven't told you about the fact that this is what you did, and this is why I created the boundary, because I don't feel like I can. You'll always be his family, and I'll always think of you as family too," stated Savannah.
