“Currently, my son and I aren’t on speaking terms, but everything will work out,” K. Michelle admitted. The discord between them, she explained, revolves around a car—a Mercedes-Benz—she gifted him when he was just 16.
She elaborated further, “My son has decided he doesn’t want any handouts or help. That’s my whole reason for working hard. He’s planning to use Uber for transportation during college, even though he has a Benz in Memphis. Who else do you know that Ubers with a Benz?”
As for what their issue stems from, it involves a Mercedes-Benz she bought him at 16.
“My child decides that he don’t want a handout and he don’t want anything,” she explained. “That’s all I’m working for. He gon’ Uber while he in college. He gon’ Uber with a Benz in Memphis. Who you know Uber with a Benz?
“So I confront him. We get in the car and I’m telling him, ‘You can’t do this.’ He gets up right with me. So all I know is I’m like bop bop bop. I’m telling him like, ‘Are you crazy?’ And then I take the car and I ran into a fence and knocked down whoever fence. We still ain’t went to jail.”
“Why would you Uber?” she continued griping.
When Jason suggested it was commendable that her son wanted to work, K. Michelle claimed it was “too commendable.”
“Why would you be – any money you make from Uber, I’m gonna send it to you right away,” she said. “That’s why I work hard.”
“I would like for him to not have to be so independent,” she added. “I would like for him to know that I’m there.”
When talking about the show, she said people will see the “lows that were hit” in order to garner a reaction from her.
“The fact that I never – why would I go fight with women that I want to win?” she asked.
“This show… really do mean a lot to me because, as a black woman, in reality, to watch this show be so big,” she elaborated. “I don’t want to do nothing but add my legacy to this show and I want it to go even farther. You watch it. Just to watch some of the most hurtful things to me that were done by men and to watch a particular woman use that in combat to hurt me. Pretty low. But it’s TV. It’s entertainment, right?… So, play at your own risk.”
Drew Sidora was also mentioned by Jason, and K. Michelle insisted they kept bringing up someone who’s “never been brought up in history.”
“She ain’t been brought up in movies,” she added. “She ain’t been brought up in music.”
Although K. Michelle is new to RHOA, it’s well known that she and Drew feud on it as was seen in the trailer for season 17.
