Shonta tells True he can't come to her ultrasound appointment in Love After Lockup season 5
In Love After Lockup season 5 episode 38, Shonta tells True about her upcoming ultrasound appointment. She told him that while he could accompany her to the clinic, she didn't want him to be a part of the appointment. She told him she didn't think they were "there yet."
She recalled True telling her the previous night that he was still seeing other people so she didn't know if he was going to be around in the future.
"You can still leave any time you want to so I don't want to sit here and experience stuff with you," she said.
In a confessional, the Love After Lockup season 5 star explained she was taking it one day at a time with True. She added that when she let True stay over the previous night, they didn't get physically intimate despite sharing a bed.
Shonta told True that if and when they were in a "better place," she would consider letting him come to her appointments with her. True told the Love After Lockup star he was only going to let her do it "one time" and that he wanted to accompany her in the future.
Shonta asked him why he thought he could tell her what to do and said that they needed to "reach that place" where she would allow him to be a part of her appointments. Later in the episode, True waited for Shonta in the car while she went to get her ultrasound. However, she opened up about feeling lonely and didn't get it done.
Fans criticized Shonta for telling True he couldn't come and then not getting the procedure done because she felt lonely.
