Episode 3 of The Dolls captured an explosive lunch full of momma drama, bridging the divide between the current Dancing Dolls Parents (DDPs) and the DDPs of the new captains. However, the gossip, insults, and rumors have some fans feeling like it's bordering on bullying.
Head Captain Destiny Sykes' mother, Latoya Sykes, gathered the other captains' mothers together for a lunch to hash out their issues and rumors. One of the main culprits allegedly gossiping about some of the dancers and their mothers was Timeeka Wilkins-Addison, Oshyn's mother.
While viewers are happy to watch drama and gossip on a reality show, many fans began to worry that Sykes, Kendra King (Senior Saij's mom), Shanta Lawrence (Etaysia's mom), and others are slightly crossing into actual bullying territory.
Before the lunch, Sykes and Dee Grady (Senior Jayden's mom), were discussing getting the ladies together and expressed concern over how the new DDPs are, but then began to mock Timeeka's appearance and how she dresses.
"Looking at her, she wears a different flower every day," Latoya claims.
"We need to find out what's going on with the flowers, the different colors every time we see her," Grady adds on while the two laugh.
During the lunch, Timeeka begins to take some ownership of her actions and not excuse them, but explain why. She admitted that she is used to being the leader as her daughter Oshyn was Captain of her other dance troupe, and also that they don't feel liked or wanted by not only the other moms, but the dancers as well.
The moms immediately perk up, negating her feelings and denying that she isn't liked by anyone.
Wait, didn't they just show a clip of Grady and Sykes making fun of her like two minutes before this...? Hm.
Of course, no mother wants to hear their daughter isn't being friendly to their teammate, but to immediately jump on her and saying her feelings are invalid without even letting her finish? Damn, that's harsh.
While wiping away tears, Timeeka feels the pile on from the mothers.
Latoya jumps in to explain that why she may not have been liked or felt that way is because of who she attached herself to. No name is mentioned, but it seems that the other DDPs know who she is referencing. Gossip and social media drama from the unnamed DDP is revealed and Timeeka looks shocked, admitting this is the first she is hearing of it.
As the arguing begins to escalate, Dianna walks in and complains that they can hear them through the wall in the studio next door. She ultimately helps the moms simmer down, and Latoya ends the lunch by thanking them for coming, and they all leave with a new level of understanding and intention to move forward.
No doubt there is still more drama to come. As weekly updates on Brandon Studios' social media promises wild twists and turns. Do you think the DDPs were creeping into bullying territory with Timeeka, or was it a justified argument?
