“So, what happened that you're calling my daughter all those names?”

Vicky asked Ty, questioning her role in the drama. Ty admitted,

“One name. And I do want to apologize to her for calling her our name.”

Vicky continued,

“You and Ming had a lot of great things going for y'all. I fell in love with you myself. So, what happened? What would you talk about for 3,000 goddamn minutes? We'll start with that.”

Ming’s mother confronts Ty over relationship fallout on Basketball Wives

Ming revealed in her Basketball Wives confessional that her mother, Vicky, returned to support her for the event and shared a strong bond with Ty.

“My mom loves Ty, Ty loves our mom, and she is hell-bent on making things right,”

Ming said. However, things quickly escalated when Vicky confronted Ty over the name-calling incident. Ty responded that it was just one name and offered an apology.

Vicky told Ty that Ming was deeply hurt and questioned what caused the relationship to fall apart. Ty acknowledged that Vicky is direct but expressed confusion about why the 3,000-minute phone call was still a topic of concern. In her confessional, Ty added,

“I owned up to it, but you know, your daughter is here with another man's name tattooed on her. Let's address that.”

Ming challenged Ty’s narrative, accusing her of being dishonest about the nature of her relationship with the woman she was caught speaking to for hours.

“That ain't your f**king friend. That was your b***h. Yeah, let's be very clear,”

Ming said. Vicky questioned Ty about her past relationship, asking if the other woman was her girlfriend, which she denied. When pressed about whether they had slept together, Ty avoided the question, saying it wasn’t relevant.

Vicky then asked why she cheated, and Ty defended herself by comparing her phone calls to Ming’s texting other men, insisting it was the same thing. Vicky pressed further, asking again, “Did you cheat?” Ming responded, “In her eyes, I cheated.” When asked again, Ming admitted, “I was texting a guy.” Ty then said,

“Now we on the same page. But I was single.”

Vicky lightened the mood by joking about Ming’s past relationship. Ty hinted that Vicky didn’t know the full picture and mentioned that Ming had expressed interest in threesomes.

Vicky was shocked and playfully called Ming out for being “freaky.” The conversation turned serious again when Ming questioned Ty about whether she believed Jackie, hinting at unresolved trust issues.

Ty admitted there were things Ming did that she hadn’t expected, leaving her uncertain. Ming then asked how they could move forward from it all. Vicky made it clear that she didn’t want to be caught in the middle, but she extended an invitation to Ty for Ming’s upcoming event in Basketball Wives.

“Ming is having her event. And I want you to come. And support us. Huh? Will you come? Will you come? Come on. Are you with me?”

Ty answered,

“I don’t know about that Mama Vicky.”
