Y’all Remember Shay From Back In The Day?
Roommates, what began as a tense family conversation on reality TV quickly pulled Shay Johnson back into the combo after Bambi opened up about ongoing issues together with her mother-in-law Momma Dee on a recent episode. While talking to Sierra Gates, Bambi revealed that Lil Scrappy has been encouraging her to make peace with Momma Dee despite years of unresolved tension, but she made it clear she’s not rushing into anything—especially with what she describes as continued disrespect and Momma Dee publicly revisiting Scrappy’s past relationships, including posting about Shay and congratulating her on her baby, which Bambi says only fuels online speculation.
After the episode aired, Shay caught wind of the conversation and took to Instagram to reply, sharing a throwback clip together with a firm clarification about her past with Scrappy. She shut down the resurfaced narrative directly, making it clear she was never a “side chick” and that being mentioned on national television felt unnecessary given how long she’s been faraway from the situation, writing: “I’ve made this clear to @tharealmommadee as well but to go on television to call me a side chick was petty so simply to be clear Lol I used to be NEVER a side chick for no man.”
