about the status of my marriage.

And I would like to put

those rumors to rest.

The picture that surfaced

this morning isn't real.

All allegations of infidelity are false.

My husband and I remain

in a loving, faithful marriage.

- Yeah!

- In fact...

Yes! Thank you!

Step back, fool!

You... Dina, I don't... What?

Ooh. Oh, God. Oh.

Um... go ahead, Ryan.

Don't... don't mind us.

Um, in fact...

our marriage is...

stronger than ever.

Come on, Ry.

The foun... the foundation...

The foundation of...

I'm sorry, uh...

My agent wrote a very convincing statement

- for me to read to you.

- No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

And I really...

thought that I could go through with it,

because I have done such a...

great job of pretending

so many times before.

But...

there are some people...

when you see them...

you just can't pretend anymore.

Because they know...

you.

The real you.

And maybe that's why you

avoided seeing them...

for so long.

I'm sorry.

Uh...

I'm not perfect.

I do not have it all.

- Okay.

- It's okay, Ryan.

In fact, my life is all kind of screwed up.

All right, maybe we should take...

Sit your ass down.

Now.

Yes! That part!

Finally! Finally!

Mm-hmm!

The picture is real.

My husband is having an affair.

When I first found out, I...

well, I felt a lot of things.

Betrayal, anger,

heartache.

But mostly fear.

Fear that my marriage was ending

and that I would be alone.

And I was... terrified of that.

So terrified that...

I was willing to stay with

someone who betrayed my trust.

So terrified that I...

was willing to accept

being treated as less than I am.

And I know I'm not alone in this.

I know that there are a lot of us who stay

in bad relationships because

we have convinced ourselves

that being disrespected

is better than being alone.

But we shouldn't fear being alone,

because there is power in rediscovering

your own voice.

- Yes!

- And I had forgotten that.

I forgot that years before

I was... Stewart's wife,

I was Ryan.

A girl with her own ambitions

and her own dreams.

But luckily...

my girls...

my girls... reminded me of that.

Flossy Posse.

They reminded me of my own worth...

- Damn right.

- Mm-hmm. - Yep.

And that there was a time

that I didn't fear anything.

No one has the power to shatter your dreams

unless you give it to them.

Ryan, speak.

And I refuse to give

anyone that power again.

If anything,

I hope...

that me revealing my truth

inspires you to realize your own.

Thank you... for listening.

We love you, Ry!

- We love you, Ryan!

- We love you, Ryan!

We love you!

That-a-girl!

Flossy Posse!

Whew!

We love you, girl!

Okay...

I'm so sorry.

I didn't mean any of what I said earlier.

I was... I was just so...

It's okay. It's okay.

You were so wonderful up there, so brave.

That was amazing.

We love you. None of that matters.

I love you, too, Lis.

You my b*tch for life!

I'm proud of you, boo.

Ryan...

I would never hurt you.

You have to believe me.

I know.

I know.

Hug it out!

Yeah!

- Hug it out!

- Yeah...!

Flossy Posse!

- Flossy Posse! Flossy Posse!

- So good. So good up there.

And look what I brought you.

Oh!

- Flossy Posse.

- Yeah. Come on, come on. - Oh! Yeah!

Nothing like this ugly-ass

vest to pick up your spirits.

Look at that.

Flossy Posse back in the house

Flossy Posse back in the house

Flossy Posse back in the house

Flossy Posse back in the house

Flossy Posse back in the house...

Liz...

Wait.

There's something I need to tell you.

It's Bethany... she...

Mm.

Oh, God, not this sh*t again.

Speak, woman.

She still wants to do the deal.

Yes!

What?

But... with just you.

- Oh! Even better. Even better.

- Yes! Yes!

It turns out single women

are an even bigger market.

- Hello? - Damn right!

- It's all about women!

Yeah!

I-I'll do it!

I-I just have one condition.

Hmm, yeah, what?

Hmm?

Sasha, I want you to be my partner.

Are you serious?

I'm so serious.

Don't play with me.

I'm serious as a heart attack.

Yes! I'll be your partner!

- Yes!

- I'm gonna be the assistant!

Bring it in!

We gonna be rich! We gonna be rich!

We're already rich!

Let's go!

Come on, ladies!

Purple taking me higher

Boy, you've got me inspired

Baby, come and get it if

you're really feeling me Why?

- 'Cause it's my night

- It's my night

No stress, no fights

I'm leaving it all behind...

Every group of friends

has that one experience that,

no matter where you are,

you carry it with you for life.

We're a little older,

a little wiser...

and we're still the

baddest chicks in the game.

I don't know what the

future will bring...

Is hip-hop in the building or what?

Love or heartbreak,

joy or pain,

but right now it's bright.

And the one thing

I know for sure is, my

girls will be there.

No matter who else

steps in the picture,

my girls are my constant.

They give me the

permission to be who I am,

and I am going to be me.

We're going to be us...

loving...

laughing...

worthy...

magical...

us.

The Flossy Posse is back.

You took a picture of it?

Girl, let us see it.

That is a beautiful penis.

- Wow.

- I smashed all over that thing.

I just want to make that my wallpaper.

And not on my phone.

I want to be a fly on that wallpaper.

Yay...!

Oh, oh, oh, oh...

Do whatcha wanna

Hang on the corner.

I never said that I

had it all figured out

I never said

I never said that I live

my days without doubt

I swear

All I've ever done was be honest

And stay modest

Oh, oh, oh

So this is a sincere, unscripted

Unwritten for all that you've given

Forgiving, I'm driven

I wanna be

Better than I was

Better than I am

So I say

All I'm trying to

say is I thank you

You, you, you, you

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

I thank you

- You, you, you

- All I'm trying to say is

That I was done with my growth

And I swear

All I've ever done

Was stay honest

Keep my promise

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh...

me walk across the stage

For walking me

through my heartbreaks

every step of the way

With no support, this

wouldn't be as great

Thank you for making

me stronger than most

For taking it beyond my coast

Thank you for raising

your glass when I toast

All I gotta say is

Yeah, yeah

Thank you, whoa, oh

I thank you...

Thank you.

Really.

All I got to say is

I thank you.
