ERICA GOT THE TEA, AND BABYYYY…

Y’all. I knew Erica was gonna call me, but I didn’t expect this much drama to still be unfolding.

Three days after the Immaculata Winter Formal turned into WWE SmackDown, Erica hit me up in the afternoon with her usual opener:

"GIRL. You not gonna believe this."

At this point, I already had my tea in hand because I knew she was about to spill everything.

"First off, Patty Joe had the NERVE to show up at the church office today like nothing happened. Like she ain’t try to take Unique OUT at the formal."

"Wait—what?!" I nearly dropped my phone.

"Mhm. She walked right in, talking about how she 'needed to speak with Pastor Vaughn.' But guess who met her at the door?"

"Who?"

"First Lady Ann. My mama. And BABYYYY, she was NOT about to entertain none of Patty’s foolishness."

Now, if you know Miss Ann Henderson, you already know she doesn’t do mess. And after what went down Saturday night? Oh, Patty should’ve known better.

"Mama told her straight up—‘Patty, we love you, but you cannot just waltz in here like you didn’t cause a scene in front of the entire congregation. You owe a LOT of people an apology.’"

And do y’all know Patty had the AUDACITY to say?

"Well, I only did what needed to be done."

EXCUSE ME?!

"Erica. STOP." I had to clutch my chest.

"I KID YOU NOT. She said that. And Mama was looking at her like she had lost her mind."

Apparently, Patty STILL feels justified in throwing hands over the choir situation. And what’s worse? She ain’t even sorry.

"So what now? They banning her for real?"

Erica sighed. "Honestly? It’s looking like it. Mama told her she needs to take some time away and ‘seek guidance’ before coming back. And you KNOW that’s code for 'girl, don't come back here until you fix your attitude.'”

Whew. A whole exile from Immaculata.

But the kicker?

"Girl, the church group chat is in SHAMBLES."

Apparently, Sister Gladys' video has been making its rounds, and now EVERYBODY got an opinion. Some folks say Patty was out of line, others say Unique should’ve never been put in charge of the choir in the first place. And then there’s the older members talking about “Miss Hattie woulda NEVER let it come to this.”

And honestly? They probably right.

But at the end of the day, one thing is clear—Patty Joe got herself into some MESS, and now she gotta sit in it.

Erica ended the call with a sigh.

"Welp. We’ll see if she shows up Sunday. But if she does? I’m sitting in the BACK, just in case round two pop off."

And honestly? SAME.
