Rickey Smiley is the target of a dating intervention by D’Essence Malik, and Arryn on the next episode of TV One’s Rickey Smiley For Real, premiering Tuesday, Dec. 6 at 8 p.m. ET.
The kids, weary of their father’s meddling into their love lives, decide to sit Rickey down to tell him it’s time to focus on getting his own groove back. However, the single father and eligible bachelor has a different perspective on getting back in the dating pool.
“I [don’t give] a damn about having a relationship,” says Rickey. “Nobody’s around that house aggravating me, nagging me, bothering me. I cook my own food, I wash my own clothes. I’m good!”
Meanwhile, Gary with da Tea decides to invite Porsha to screen test for the role of his talk show co-host. Although the two have worked together on the radio show for years, Gary wonders will their personalities blend well in the new venture or will he have to check her?
Da Brat looks for new opportunities to expose her new artist in the ATL, and Juicy has another sit-down with management to discuss her future with the morning show. Finally, Brandon and Beonka meet for lunch in an effort to gain closure regarding the status of their relationship.
