Black Reality TV Stars Get Real At ESSENCE Fest Day 3

From drama->Morton’s parenting was questioned after claims that she went to Miami rather than returning to Atlanta to check on her youngest daughter who was dealing with a health complication. But fans only got half the story.

“We were flying out of Grenada the next morning [after my husband called me], and I asked him, ‘Should I have flown out that night?’ He was like, ‘No, baby, there wasn’t even a flight that late. Stop being so hard on yourself,’” Morton, 43, shares. “And [fans] don’t even know half the time my kids are in a hotel…right there with me,” giving more context to the Miami fiasco. “I have to tell myself these people only see a small edit of a show [I’m] on.”

That is just one of many misconceptions that fans have had about Morton, as well as Harris and Webb.

“People say that I ‘put on’ for the show. But if you know me,
I’m always super energetic and I’ve been this way since I was a kid. I’m over the top. That’s my personality, and I can’t dial it down – not even for TV,” Morton says. 

“For me, people think, ‘Miss Quad is all about Miss Quad,’ [but] that is completely untrue,” Webb expresses. “There has never been a time where someone has come to me, called on me, needed me…and I wasn’t there. I do everything and anything that I can do for people, and it brings me great joy to help everyone. I have stopped and sacrificed my own time… just to show up and be there for a friend.” 

“I think for me, I am a super girl’s girl,” Harris says. “If I could have a sleepover once a week with my friends, I would. But you don’t get to see that kind of stuff on the show. You do see me being a girl’s girl – and I get in trouble for that on this season [of Love and Hip Hop: Atlanta] that you’re about to see –
but I’m a complete girl’s girl. I love my girls and I love, love, love being with my girls.”

Harris shares even more about what fans can expect from her on season 13 of Love and Hip Hop Atlanta, which premieres this week on MTV. “I would say this is possibly one of my hardest seasons because it’s super duper real and challenging with friends and family – the things I care about most. So, stay tuned because you’ll see me go through some stuff and get through some stuff.”

You can catch Morton and the rest of the peaches rehash all the season 16 drama when part one of the reunion airs Sunday, July 13 on Bravo. Married to Medicine fans will have to wait a little longer to see Webb back on their TV screens, as Bravo has yet to announce a premiere date for season 12 of the hit series.
