Love Is Blind to Love & Hip Hop: Reality Stars Share What REALLY Happens Off Camera | For The Fellas

Video Description

FOR THE FELLAS — Reality Check: When the Cameras Stop Rolling The concept of reality TV has always been questioned — where does the real end and the performance begin? In this thought-provoking episode of For The Fellas, host Brian McIntosh sits down with three men who live their lives in front of the lens to unpack the cost, the pressure, and the truth behind what we call “reality. From the lights and edits to the real emotions that can’t be scripted, this episode holds up a mirror to how Black men are portrayed, perceived, and positioned in today’s entertainment landscape. Joining Brian on the couch are: ➡️ Mendeecees Harris — a Love & Hip Hop legend, father, husband, and entrepreneur who’s kept it real through thirteen seasons of one of TV’s biggest reality franchises. ➡️ Karlous Miller — comedian, podcaster, and cultural voice of the South known for bringing raw truth and humor to every stage, screen, and mic. ➡️ Ollie Sutherland — the UK’s own Love Is Blind star, proving that Black love knows no borders and that vulnerability can be global. Together, these men go beyond the headlines and social clips to have a real conversation about fame, family, love, and the blurred lines between reality and real life. 00:00 - 01:56 | Meet the Fellas: Living Life On Reality TV 01:56 - 02:52 | The Business Behind Reality TV 02:53 - 04:35 | Why Our Culture Is Drawn to Reality Television 04:36 - 06:37 | The Appeal of Drama & Conflict On-Screen 06:38 - 07:50 | Reality TV Across the Pond: The U.K. Perspective 07:51 - 11:40 | Mendeecees’ Journey into Love & Hip Hop 11:41 - 21:23 | How Reality TV Shapes & Selects Relationship Storylines 21:24 - 27:00 | Being the “Supporting Cast” in a Woman’s Story 27:01 - 28:26 | Fatherhood & Fame: The Stakes of Being Seen 28:27 - 30:36 | Online vs. Real Life: Cancel Culture in Today’s Climate 30:37 - 32:56 | Rebuilding Trust in the Public Eye 32:57 - 38:46 | Growing With Your Partner While the World Watches 38:47 - 40:47 | The Weight Black Men Carry in the Spotlight 40:48 - 47:15 | Love Languages: Do Men Need Affirmation Too? 47:16 - 52:40 | How Much Influence Should Your Partner Have on Your Confidence? 52:41 - 57:42 | Protecting Your Mental Health as a Public Figure 57:43 - End | Closing Thoughts & Words for the Fellas SUBSCRIBE to #BET! ►► http://bit.ly/1U0v9xG Stream Black Culture with BET+.
