The new season of “Love & Hip Hop Atlanta” is popping off with sparks as the marriage between longtime cast members Yandy Smith and Mendeecees Harris is in great peril.
The first episode, which airs on Tuesday, April 9, centers around Smith and her husband, who both admit that their union has been in a “dark place.” Harris seems to imply that the marriage may be irreparable.
According to Urban Belle, Harris has become completely exasperated by Smith’s rigid and uncompromising independence. She reportedly failed to notify her husband that she was running for the city council. Also, she planned to donate an eggs to her infertile sister without first discussing it with Harris. He reportedly confided to fellow cast member Rasheeda that he contemplates moving out of their marital home and dissolving the marriage.
Fans weigh in on Yandy Smith and Mendeecees’ marital strife
Some faithful devotees of the show who already viewed the new season’s trailer have deposited their thoughts in the comments section where the trailer was posted on YouTube and Urban Belle.
One watcher opined, “She’s too independent but that independence was fine when she was holdddddinnng him down and riding and dying for him while he was locked up [with laughing emojis]. Boy bye.”
Others took Harris’ side in the imbroglio with his wife.
“I respectfully disagree about the egg donor comment. An unfertilized egg will still carry the DNA of Yandy and her children,” the person said. “Genetically she is the mom and those will be her kids siblings. How do you not see an issue with this? She will Be carrying a baby that has absolutely no traces of her genes but those of the eggs donor. The baby might even come out looking like Yandy or one of her kids. Morally this is wrong especially for a married woman.”
“Yandy makes decisions without talking to her husband. Not cool. You become one – a real partnership when you marry,” said a third person.
“When people marry, yes they are supposed to be a union of that couple, but they still have their life to live. Yandy wanting to be a city council member, yes that should be a discussion with your husband. Her wanting to gift a part of her body to her sister so she can have a baby is different. Why, because that is an unfertilized egg and has nothing to do with him,” another person added.
