During last week’s episode of Love and Hip Hop Atlanta, Kirk Frost revealed that he was having direct contact with Jasmine Washington, the mother of his son, Kannon, so that they could successfully co-parent. The problem with this is, he didn’t tell wife Rasheeda up front that they had each other’s numbers and were talking, and Jasmine is the woman that he stepped outside of their marriage with.
For Rasheeda, she wanted there to be a middle man for them to be able to co-parent and for Kirk to not have much contact with Jasmine at all. That person was initially his daughter Kelsie for some time before she said she didn’t want the responsibility any more. Jasmine, her mother and grandmother also told Kirk that they needed to communicate directly with one another.
On this week’s episode, while in Trinidad, Rasheeda found out, but not because he told her. While asking to use his phone to take a picture because hers was dead, she saw his correspondences with Jasmine and confronted him about it. She was pretty upset because though he said he just started speaking with her, he didn’t tell Rasheeda when that decision was made.
“It’s not easy for me to think about my husband communicating with the woman he had an affair with,” she said in a confessional. “I asked for complete honesty in this situation. Him not telling me that Jasmine has his number and they’re communicating makes me sit here and wonder, hmm, what else is your a– hiding?”
However, Kirk thought she was being a tad immature.
“Me having your number, if something is wrong with your son, you don’t want me to get in contact with you?”
“Y’all got this far without having each other number cause anytime she ‘needs something or wants something’ she hit Kelsie,” she said in response. “But here’s my thing, if that’s a decision you’re going to make, you should talk to me about that sh-t. It makes me feel like, damn, I’m looking and she’s texting you, I don’t know about it, that makes me not trust you.”
“Like me and my husband, we live in the same house,” Bambi said. “If my baby is sick, I’m not calling him while he’s at the studio, I’m going to take care of my f–king baby.”
“I’ve yet to have a conversation with Erica,” she added. “What we have going works.”
Interesting opinions all around. However, they all sound petty in my opinion. It is true that Kirk should have kept Rasheeda in the know once the plans changed. While she may have been somewhat salty about it, as long as she knew the situation and been made privvy to communication, she would just have to deal with it. So yes, she had a reason to be upset.
However, this is what comes with choosing to stay with someone who has a child outside of your relationship. It’s a messy situation, but once a child is involved it can no longer be about your feelings and insecurities. It has to be about what’s best for the kid. The fact that anyone expected Kirk and Jasmine to have to go through two and three family members to talk about whatever they need to is crazy. He needs to speak with the mother of his child, she needs to speak to him, and Rasheeda needs to get over it or go on her merry way (which many people think she should have done long ago).
Hit the flip to see what Twitter had to say about this drama by hitting the flip:
Rasheeda Kirk has a whole kid with this woman you should realize that they would have to communicate at some point…now he looking like #LHHATLpic.twitter.com/0flf34OoNT
At the end of the day Kirk has a baby with that girl I don’t see a big deal with him communicating with her directly! Rasheeda being extra now 🙄 #LoveAndHipHop
Rasheeda 🗣 he done had a whole baby with this woman. She should have Kirk’s contact information instead of always going through his daughter. Grow up! #LHHATL
Kirk was absolutely wrong for not telling Rasheeda that him and Jasmine have been communicating via text BUT her ass should have never took him back if she wasn’t ready to deal with the mama that comes with baby #LHHATLpic.twitter.com/57QgJV2Kpw

Rasheeda. You know Kirk is a dog. You can’t tell him that he can’t have communication w/ the MOTHER OF HIS CHILD! Regardless of how you feel about the affair .. you gon have to get over that OR LEAVE!! #LHHATLpic.twitter.com/VeDOW2bjN6
Rasheeda is about to piss me off. You took him back now you mad because he has to communicate with his bm directly! Come on! Kirk and his adams apple should have been informed her. #LHHATL
Bambi and them sound mad delusional right about now. What’s wrong with Kirk and Jasmine communicating about their child. The same child that Rasheeda was hesitant to meet. Furthermore doesn’t Bambi dislike Erica she’s the last person to talk 🙄 #LHHATLpic.twitter.com/nhrcpBdVHk

Kirk is somewhat wrong for not telling Rasheeda that him and Jasmine are communicating directly but at the same time, they do have a child together 🥴 it’s not like she can’t just go through the messages and see what they were texting about 🤷🏽♀️ I’m just saying #LHHATL
