@@VoodooChild547 I was sad that they had Reesie die, but I was annoyed that they didn’t even mention Reesie’s death and absence in the following episodes when Toni got married since she was supposed to be one of the bridesmaids. They should have at least mentioned how she was supposed to be at the wedding.
Powerful episode. My first time seeing it since I didn’t watch the show. I must say the whole friend-stealing your-man thing was done to me but in high school and the way they wrote Joan’s story is true to life. If I had known then what I know now, I would have happily continued my life without the friend group that betrayed me. Those friends will never care as much as you do how hurt you were. Good episode.
Joan's "friends" was always keeping secrets from her. First Lynn & Toni lied about not being friends with Reesie. Then in a later episode Lynn & Maya lied about hanging out with Toni after she moved to New York.
It wa hard seeing the episode once again.... Now with the mentality of people that we had lost because of Covid. We have to apreciate people and life itself. We just get tangle and forget.
I remember back then , when black TV sitcoms in the late 90s /00s would have an aids episode and they were not afraid to speak about on it . I'm glad I gain knowledge about the disease and many people especially black people would die from it . Younger me didn't really the understand content , but looking at back on it . I'm glad they promote awareness to this deadly disease. I'm my country svg they are alot of young people have it and it's sad 😔.
The Parkers also did an episode on HIV called She's Positive, where T's new girlfriend played by Chilli of TLC, was HIV Positive. T couldn't seem to understand why his new girlfriend didn't want to be intimate with him. She eventually told him and she broke down crying in his arms. It was pretty sad. Nikki and Kim also had a conversation about it as well.
I just wanted to say that Kim Elise did a great job playing the character of the most hardest thing ever of a victim of HIV and AIDS issues my ❤️ goes out to those who have lost the battle to this situation and I 🙏 for those who are going through it still to keep getting checked protect yourself and others take your medication I mean this issue isn't has bad as before God keep you lifted up and faith and trust 💔😿🙏
@@chaosspy6723 Joan being the desperate one was too jealous of Toni getting married and knowing full well that marriage was doomed from the start. Toni’s true love was Greg but she messed it up cheating on him and almost gave him STD. Poor Todd didn’t know what he was getting into. I am so glad he got custody of his daughter and moved to New York. Though Toni moved there too. Maybe she will actually grow up.
this episode really showed how desperate Joan really is. what if Reese didn't have aids? Joan would still take back that cheating jerk if she had the chance and then it would be her. did she not realize that obviously Brian didn't care about her if he left her. Also why cause drama in the dress store? at least get outside first.
Ok, I'm gonna say it, you mean to tell this dude Magic Johnson had HIV in 1991-1992 and somehow he lived passed all the people within the early 2000s who were still passing away from HIV!? Very interesting if you ask me.
He could probably afford really good medicine back then. Which meant the virus was affecting his body as much because he's undetectable. Now there are so many advances in the medicine you can get a shot every three months and remain undetectable. Being undetectable means you'll never spread it. .. get tested
Tons of improvement has been made in terms of treatment and medication. Ppl with HIV are living a lot longer. HIV is something that you have to take care of. It's something you have to manage. Magic Johnson probably manages his HIV well hence the reason he has managed to stay alive for as long as he has. When you get HIV, you're gonna be hooked on medication for the rest of your life. Your meds is what is keeping you alive.
The storyline writing was eh... Yeah lol but in real life, in those times, the drug cocktail or regimen they had then is very different from the ones we have now
Understand this if a friend or family member marries an ex of yours, that is just what it is. You will sit and think about if a person ever loved you in the first place, you will go through your motions, but understand that look at how it all began for them.
what? she was honest about being self centered from the beginning. the moment she started making progress caring about others, he left. he wasted his own time.
@@chaosspy6723nah, Toni never cared about anyone but herself. She made progress quickly to finally grow up when Todd took custody of their daughter and moved to New York and she decided what was more important. And she left for New York. The move was good for Toni. Furthermore Toni and Joan were too toxic to be friends. It’s good they split for good.
@SouthSideLadyWright did you miss her progressing when she went to therapy? she opened up and since Joan has been there her whole life, she thought about her first then Todd got jealous and angry instead of helping her progress more despite marrying her when he knew she was selfish. I watched all those episodes like a hawk and he's the worst.
@SouthSideLadyWright what does that have to do with Toni progressing, opening up and caring about people? todd knew she was materialistic and selfish and so he kept giving her gifts to impress her. He even gave her a doll of herself. he knew full well what he was getting into but bailed when she was finally getting better. He didn't even believe when she told him she was pregnant? why would she tell a lie about something that would change her looks? he was the more emotionally stable parent but no one asks if Toni had post partum depression. Todd left Toni once she finally started healing and began being vulnerable. he's awful.
@@chaosspy6723Toni progressing? 😂😂😂 When? Toni never changed. In fact she got worse when her and Joan reconciled. Toni reconciled with Joan because Joan was paying for Toni things while Toni secretly banking half a million dollars. Though Todd knew Toni was a vain heifer, at least he tried to be a husband to Toni. Toni didn’t even try. Because she was too full of herself. Toni must’ve had it bad in Fresno. She brought all that toxicity to LA.
i work in HIV prevention, and yes people are absolutely still dying from complications of HIV/AIDS...mostly if they don't have access to treatment or do not want to take medication

Asia Brice how dense can you be to generalize or make a conclusion based on your RN friend. I have access to preventive disease doctors who work in directional medical campaigns domestic and abroad and understand that in a global and domestic scale people are dying. My access to a representative doesn’t make me an expert to say something ignorant. Yes, people are living through management but people are in fact still dying because of it.
This was one of the best (and most impactful) episodes of this show in my opinion.
All the dresses Toni had on was beautiful, I love that first one.
Man I remember this episode like it was yesterday. Cried like a baby then , crying like a baby now.
When I saw the last video of reesie, I was shocked, she had so much to look forward to, I cried like crazy
@@VoodooChild547 yeees!! 😭

I would've stopped asking for Joan's opinion. Say what you want about Toni, but Joan was such a hater concerning the wedding.
A really powerful episode. It made quite a stir in Trinidad when it aired.
Hmmmm
Really?
Why
Why?
I Remember This Episode Joan Was Jealous Tony Getting married and This Was A Powerful Emotional Message In This
It was soo bad for her. Sis didn’t even try
I completely forgot Kimberly Elise's character died. I almost choked up.
This episode was the first time that I’d ever shed tears watching a tv show. Very powerful.
Toni looked stunning in those wedding dresses. Such a great episode
Poor Todd didn’t know what he was getting into. 🤦🏽♀️
@@SouthSideLadyWrightyes he did 😂
True friends respect each other. Beautiful story
Kim has always reminded me of Cecily Tyson for some reason.
I don't understand why Jennifer Lawrence and Kim deserve Oscars for their amazing acting.

Joan and toni had a toxic friendship
Toni was too bougie and Joan was too desperate.
Very ❤

Bc Joan is crazy that’s why! Somethings she takes too far
@@justynh1655 ikr
That's because Joan could never handle the truth.
@@justynh1655 tbh. Joan was kind of erratic 😂
@@justynh1655 She is crazy but they keep taking advantage of her craziness when it's convenient

I still watch Girlfriends on CleoTV and Dabl. I like the theme song "My Girlfriends" by Angi Stone. Off and On, I would sing it.
Beautiful Episode
Only Lynn and maya were the only mature ones there..
I feel like everyone handled it fairly well besides Joan
Lynn was mature!!! 🤡🥴 She went to college for 6 years to avoid getting a job!! She lives off of ALL of them!! 🤡
@@AnastasiaBeaverhousn she was mature at the dress shop supporting Toni

Love this show guys❤❤❤❤
Toni Looks beauty
Her bougie attitude makes her ugly
If she was on medication and her viral load was stabilizing, how did she have full blown AIDS?
She could have been undetectable with HIV.

Its serious but that was funny 🤣🤣
They just aired this episode on DABL channel. Of course, these networks care more about ad revenue. They completely cut the interview part out.
Is this on dvd??
Joan was very judgmental I didn’t like the way Joan thru away the knife becuse Reese was cooking
At the end of the episode she gets it out of the trash can and puts it away
She thru it away because Reese cut herself.
@@hi-xf7cj yes I know
I mean it think it’s honest to what could happen in real life
Joan was so annoying when it came to men and relationships
They should have had Kimberly Elise on and told her character's story until she died.
wish this clip included the knife scenes.
I was waiting for it too.
Rip Reesie Jackson

12:31 😂😂😂😂
This is s why I prefer SATC. I just wanna watch Carrie shop for shoes.
Joan is ridiculous smh out her damn mind
Did Joan ever get married in the show?
Nope
She got engaged but the show got canceled before the wedding
No man wants to marry Joan. She’s too desperate and have too many rules. She will always be a Girlfriend and never a Wife.
Joan would always be a Girlfriend and never a Wife. No man wants Desperate Joan
She had too much of a wandering eye. She would have been trying to hook up with the limo driver after the wedding ceremony. 😂
Wait I didnt know they killed her in the end! I thought the actress died.
Wow
