This week on Love & Hip Hop New York, it all hits the fan. Well, maybe not everything, they do have to leave some of this mess for next week.
Jonathan and Anais kick it at her crib, having drinks around the fire pit and she says she’s grateful Rubin is working late so they have the backyard to themselves. Before long, Rubin walks up on the two and has a seat next to Jon. Anais is visibly irritated.

Jonathan makes small talk with Rubin who shares that he had a long day at work. “Everything is just about paying your bills,” she starts. We do, and we don’t understand the issue with that. But more insight on that later. She says the emotion and romance that they once had, is lacking, and Rubin blames it on the kids. Anais shoos him away and Jonathan is in the dark about why she would do all that to her husband. “I found somebody else who tickles my pickle,” she says referring to Richie D. We guffawed.
Jonathan warns her, again, about Rich Dollaz, “I’m not telling you nothing Google can’t tell you.”

Later, Rubin checks Anais about all of her recent excursions and things get heated. “Why everytime I come home, you never home?,” he asks, catching her before she steps out again. What is the problem? I only see the nanny. Did I marry the nanny or did I marry you?” We understand that. Anais says that he does the same thing, going to work all the time and she and the kids rarely see him. Which, um, isn’t exactly the same, but we hear you girl. Rubin says, “What do you want me to do? You want me to stop working so I can be next to you all the time?” Hilarious. But this is where Anais snaps a little bit. “Are you my provider? My husband? My father? You don’t take care of me as a man!,” she shouts, in their lovely New Jersey driveway. “Anybody can give me dick and money! I told you I need more than just dick and money!” Here’s where the lightbulb goes off in Rubin’s head and he asks if there’s someone else. She teases the probability. He demands her keys and that she stay in the house tonight. She laughs in his face. He threatens to file for divorce and she leaves.
She drops in on Navarro and Rich’s guys’ night and pulls Rich to the side to ask how serious he is about “having her back.” Honestly, what would that mean in this scenario. Rich is in too deep. She tells him that Rubin is going to file for a divorce and dumbfounded Rich says, “Well you were gonna ask him for a divorce, right? So what’s the problem?” She says that although he’s said that he would support her, he hasn’t said anything to make her “feel like [she’s] gonna be okay.” Girl, you have a man at the house ready to provide and you’re running around with Richie D, asking him to commit? Okay.

“There’s not much we can do with you being married. You told me you were done,” he responds. “I got your back moving forward. You’ll be fine.” But at her meet and greet later on, he’s getting a number from a waitress right when Jonathan is scolding Anais for jumping into this “situationship” before ending her marriage. “That’s his past,” she says. Oh. And Rubin walks in. Juicy.
Okay. Here’s the thing. You gotta hear both sides. Anais has a point: ol’ boy knew he was marrying a spicy, uber-passionate woman, years his junior. There are certain things that some of these ladies require and she’s not wrong for asking for romance. Not at all. But also, she sounds super ungrateful to a man that goes out and works long hours so she can have a nanny and other things. She says that it’s about letting her kids see that she’s not willing to sit back and let Daddy provide for her when she had dreams of popstar-dom before they even met. But… You are out doing dirt with Rich too, so there’s that. You’re not at an open mic every night. You ain’t slick.
Safaree and Jacquae finally meet at the Gwinnin Cave and Self can’t wait to reveal that they both dealt with Sophia the Body. SMH. Self just loves to keep up mess. The guys don’t seem to care about this new info. Safaree moves forward to reveal that Dream posted another man for National Boyfriend Day. Um, but is that your girl bro? Anyway, he says that she’s been “distant and weird” ever since Self blurted out that he’d be working with Mariahlynn. Later, Safaree meets up with Dream Doll to clarify what’s happening with their relationship but all she wants to do is deter him from working with Mariahlynn. She hints that she posted another man’s (another rapper’s) pic online because Safaree’s “lacking.” She demands that he not work with Mariah and “if I find out otherwise, it’s gonna be a big problem. So we’re not gonna do that right?” When he finally just says that he respects her and whatever their “relationship” is, she spazzed out. “Why can’t you just say what I f*cking asked you to say bro?” Then she storms out, screaming that it’s over. Ol’ girl is a child. Get your money Safaree.
Karl is hoping to get the leading role in Lil Mo’s new video. The “30 Minutes” song sounds aiight, BTW. So yeah, Karl thinks he’s a shoo-in but Mo is holding auditions for other men to slide in, for the role that is. He doesn’t think he should have to audition, she believes otherwise. Truthfully, he’s acting like she was the one sexting.
Juju brings Yandy in for a spot in her play. Safaree comes to the table read and once Yandy leaves, he works up the courage to invite Juju out for a night. Somewhere that he says helped him heal after ending his 12-year relationship with Nicki (this is the first time we recall him mentioning her by name, on the show. Interesting.) Juju agrees to it, reluctantly.

Mariahlynn meets with Self who immediately brings up the Central Park fight with Dream Doll. He calls Mariah the “common denominator” and she’s tight, for good reason though. Mariah shares that Dream attacked her music. She yells that she’s being provoked and this time that’s what appears to be happening. Again, Self defends Dream, saying that he “would never talk to anyone about anyone else’s music,” although that’s what he kinda did here.
Mariah gets fed up and says that if he continues to take ol’ girl’s side, she’s off the Gwinnin team.
Safaree, Jacquae and Mariahlynn perform at Snoop’s Ewing sneaker reveal. The energy is cool and the crowd seems to genuinely be into it. Post-performance, Mariah talks with Safaree about their pending collaboration and Britney walks up, “Dream don’t f*ck with her. I don’t f*ck with her.” Mariah calls her a “bum.” Drinks are thrown and Snoop is justifiably annoyed.
Next time, there will be more if you can believe that. Catch our discussion here.
