‘Love And Marriage: Huntsville’ Is The Most Chaotic Show You Should Be Watching

It wasn’t until I met Sunni Minx, the newest cast member on “Love & Marriage: Huntsville,” that I questioned the potential risks of listening to too much “I’ll keep your man”-themed R&B.

Technically it’s not a compliment, but there’s an impressive level of villainy behind his addition to the eighth season of By Carlos King popular series on OWN. Minx used to be a producer on “LAMH,” working specifically with cast member Destiny Payton, who at one point during her time on the Alabama-based show dated a man named Moses. Payton saying Minx became a personal friend as an extension of their working relationship. But when Minx left the production team shortly after, she began a relationship with Moses.

Minx and Moses are now not only marriedbut they have also joined the reality show.

Her addition to the series has made the viewing experience feel like a TV adaptation of MoKenStef’s “He’s Mine.” Much of that has to do with the fact that Minx is so dismissive of Payton — or anyone else — and feels some type of way about marrying Moses despite how she met him. In this current moment of reality television, there’s a lot of drama and villain antics, but few measure up to this complicated love triangle.

During an interview on 100.3 the Beat in April, Minx reclaimed Minx said she met Moses through Payton while working on the show, but there was no “kiki” between her and Moses at the time. Separately, during an appearance on King’s “Reality With the King” podcast, Minx said she tried to inform Payton about her relationship with Moses by texting her when things started getting “serious.”

“I reached out to her and said, ‘We need to have a conversation.’ I said, ‘Call me.’ She answered and said, ‘Hi, how are you?’ I said, ‘Well, I asked you to call me because I wanted to talk to her woman-to-woman,’” she said. explained“I reached out to her and said, ‘I’m dating Moses. And it’s getting serious.’ She didn’t respond… and she didn’t respond when I called her either.”

Couldn’t Minx have at least sent Payton a voice note about it? Of course.

At first I thought it was strange that a former reality TV producer would do press about a man she met on set, but when I learned that the couple had a Instagram page —which lets you know that both are available for reservations—I understood their assignment.

Unfortunately, there has yet to be a time when Minx has reflected on the opinions of Some of its cast members —and much of the “LAMH” audience—to acknowledge that she took the wrong approach here.

In the show’s midseason finale, Minx had the chance to offer Payton, if not an apology, then at least a better explanation for what happened.

Minx chose violence.

After Payton pointed out that Minx’s timeline of how she and Moses got into a relationship was flawed, a fed-up Sunni finally said, “It doesn’t have to make sense.”

—Fate, I never considered you my friend —she continued.

Minx then went on to dismiss Payton as one of Moses’ many “side chicks” at the time.

One cast member, LaTisha Scott, had enough common sense to say, “I feel like what Sunni did was a disaster.”

However, I prefer the way cast member Stormi Steele summed up Minx’s situation with Moses: “Why did you want him? Why did you want that in yourself? Because you knew that was destiny and that’s why… that’s what I can’t accept.”

Once again, a producer befriends the cast member and ends up marrying the man said cast member used to date, with no regrets. The producer then goes on a media tour about it and after that, proceeds to join the show where she originally met him with her ex still there.

Based on the trailer that aired at the end of the finale, it seems doubtful that Payton will receive her apology during the second half of the season of “Love & Marriage: Huntsville,” which returns Nov. 2.

However, that same trailer shows Moses making jokes about the entire situation, proving that it was never worth all the damage to anyone’s personal or professional reputation.

Anyway, thanks for the entertainment.

“Love & Marriage: Huntsville” is streaming on Max and available on the OWN app. Its spin-off “Love & Marriage: Detroit” airs Saturdays on OWN at 8 p.m. ET.
