This season of the NAACP Image Award-nominated collection raises the stakes for Destiny as she opens up about her childhood, from navigating foster care and her mom’s dependancy to finally assembly her half-siblings.
According to the MaDonni Beauty creator, that mix of humanity and drama is strictly what has stored viewers locked in for 11 seasons of the Carlos King-created show.

“I think they like the beautiful chaos,” Destiny told BOSSIP’s Managing Editor Dani Canada. “It’s like, when is the practice wreck taking place? Because we all know it’s coming.”
This time around, that chaos comes with a softer aspect, as Destiny opens up about her past and steps into a uncooked, revealing, and reflective chapter of her journey.
“You’re going to see my bio mom [and] you’re going to see the woman I call mama who raised me,” she said. “You get to go back to Detroit with me and see my roots. You’re finally getting the chance to peel back the layers of where I come from, and who I am, the journey I’ve been on finding my siblings, and you get to see me back in my career that brought me into this world, which is real estate.”
Filming those moments proved to be one of the most troublesome experiences of her time on the show.
“Girl, I didn’t want to do it,” Destiny admitted about filming with her mother. “I said I wanted to do it, then I didn’t want to do it. Got there to Detroit and still didn’t want to do it.”
Ultimately, she said, confronting her past publicly grew to become a vital step in reclaiming her story and persevering with her growth.

“I felt like in order for me to evolve and move forward as a woman and as a mother, I had to face her,” she said. “It gave me the facility to take away whatever story other people needed to inform for me. It was one of the most troublesome issues that I’ve executed in this space. You have disgrace, you could have embarrassment, you could have all the issues that I’ve been through throughout my life without cameras.”
She also mirrored on her mom’s life before dependancy, noting that she was once a singer and that the 2 share a number of other similarities, which have, at occasions, sophisticated their relationship.
“I’m the epitome of everything she was supposed to be, which is why we have so much contention.”
That’s not all viewers are seeing, however; there’s still rigidity looming between Destiny and LaTisha Scott amid lingering trust points and questions of loyalty effervescent back to the floor.

As beforehand reported, a earlier #LAMH episode confirmed the 2 locked in a tense faceoff as Kimmi Scott seemed on, with LaTisha questioning whether or not Destiny’s long-standing relationships with Martell Holt and Nell Fletcher outweigh their friendship. Destiny, however, pushed back, calling it an “imaginary issue.”
According to Destiny, she stands on that, and she’s executed being positioned in the center of other people’s conflicts.
“Now my side is just Destiny’s side. It’s just me,” she said. “I’m no longer explaining. My loyalty shows up and is loud.”
More on the flip.
