From all the information we have gathered, it is safe to say that the show is at least partially scripted. However, the extent of it is currently unknown. The bottom line is that the show isn’t averse to using pre-conceived storylines to generate drama. The customer reviews of the studio posted on Yelp also tell a mixed story, so make of it what you will. Two customers ( Asabi Barner and Loni Tate) have accused the staff of the Harlem-based tattoo studio of being incompetent and sued the Black Ink Tattoo Studio in 2015. The very core of the show remains the tattoo skills of its cast members, which have also been questioned multiple times. The clip is a work of careful editing of previously recorded voice-over neatly pasted over footage of another person who resembles her, Dutchess explained through social media. However, the former cast member was quick to reveal that it wasn’t the case. Despite leaving the show in 2017, a promo for an episode of the show’s seventh season that aired in 2019 hinted that Dutchess would be returning to the show. Former cast member Dutchess Lattimore, who appeared on the show for the first five seasons, made some staggering revelations about the cast in an interview with ‘ Sister Circle Live.’ Dutchess revealed that she mainly quit the show because she felt that the show’s portrayal of her wasn’t in line with the person she is in real life.ĭutchess’ words hint that the producers concoct storylines to keep the viewers invested and heighten the drama. The wedding drama is not the only instance where the show has been accused of perpetrating drama. You don’t need to be Sherlock Holmes to deduce that the entire incident was perhaps staged or pre-planned.Īt least, many viewers felt so and expressed their disapproval of the episode on social media. The drama reached its peak when Teddy’s ex-fling JaKeita “Sky” Days threw a chair at the couple during the ceremony.


What is even more baffling is that the ceremony was originally planned for cast member Young Bae, who later got cold feet and backed out. A post shared by Tatti Teddy proposed to Tatti spontaneously, the couple decided to get married that very instance.
