Reality couple Yandy and Mendeecees are responding to backlash they have been receiving after what went down between them and Yandy's adoptive daughter Infinity on the last episode of "Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta."
Get their side of the story below...
Fans of "Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta" are NOT happy with Yandy Smith-Harris and her husband MendeecessHarris. Folks are calling the couple out for what they call mistreatment of Yandy's adopted daughter, Infinity. You'll recall, Yandy adopted Infinity as a teenager while Mendeecees was behind bars serving time in federal prison for drug trafficking charges.
Now, Infinity, 19, is seeking a college degree.
After Mendeecees' release, Yandy decided to uproot her family from New York and make a home in Atlanta for a fresh start, hence why she's starring on the ATL franchise now. Apparently, Infinity was left behind in New York as Yandy and the young teen weren't on good terms. Around the end of 2020, Yandy gave Infinity an ultimatum. She can abide by her house rules or she can leave. Word on the curb is that Infinity was seeing a man Yandy asked her not to spend time with, but she kept doing it, so that caused bad blood between the two.
After that, Infinity went on social media and promised she would be releasing a tell-all book that would air out Yandy's dirty laundry.
Obviously, that didn't sit well with Yandy or Mendeeces and it caused more a strain on their relationship. Since their blow up, Infinity came to ATL and has been staying there until they figure out how they're going to move forward.
On last night's episode, Yandy revealed Infinity was "disturbing her peace" and she asked if she was wrong for feeling like that. Her co-star Sierra told her she was wrong for feeling like that and that she will have to accept Infinity for the good and the bad.
During the recent episode, Mendeecees was adamant about having a conversation with Infinity to let her know she would NOT be staying in their home until she and Yandy worked out their issues. He told Infinity they would pay two months rent on an apartment for her to give her time to find a job and learn to take care of herself.
Here's how the discussion went down below:
"I've been forced to be grown my entire life."

Well, fans have been going off on social media about how messed up it is that Yandy and Mendeecees are seemingly trying to "get rid of" Infinity. Peep a few tweets below:
What’s sad is you can tell by the look on Yandy’s face that she knows this is fucked up… Mendecees clearly doesn’t care for Infinity and due to this, she has to go. I believe he made Yandy choose. #LHHATLpic.twitter.com/YoKKDgfHVE

After the episode aired, Mendeecees posted a picture of himself with his biological children and captioned it, "Good morning IG So many personalities on this couch, but yet they all have a little bit of me in them Lol I laugh cause they “crazy” And also sweethearts best of both world," he wrote.
It didn't take long for fans to point out that he didn't include Infinity. They have also been dragging him for being so "cold" towards Infinity. In his own defense, he said fans don't know the whole story.
"y'all don't have the whole story out of respect for her. However have a wonderful day," Mendeecees said to a fan.

One fan wrote: "Why y'all doing lil shawty dirty all she want is someone to love her and Yandy was doing that until you got out why can't y'all see her pain and yes Yandy is responsible for her don't give up on her like y'all is."

Yandy then responded:
"YOURE CRAZY! You don't bring a whole person on your family with your toddler children, love them, feed them, clothed them, cry with them and so much more I won't share for a game. You have no idea of anything. Clout? On a TV show? That I help to create. Nope. Never. And this season specifically I was surprised when she wanted to have this conversation with cameras. I most certainly would have preferred it in a private because of the sensitivity of it all. Again...you have no idea of everything and I will protect it forever. But I know she reads yall dumb ass comments so I have to put this one to bed."
It's a sticky situation being that fans do not have all of the information about their situation to share an unbiased decision. However, folks clearly aren't here for the "edited" version of events and are making it known.
Do you think Yandy and Mendeecees are wrong? Sound off in the comments!
