“Raising Whitley” season 2, episode 3: “A Stuffer’s Kerfuffle” premieres tonight on OWN.
In this week’s episode, Kym and Rodney realize that living together has really tested the limits of their relationship. Since he moved in with Kym, Rodney has felt a tremendous strain on their friendship. Now that he’s saved enough money, he sits Kym down to let her know he’s going finally moving out! They talk to a therapist to help them work through their problems, but when they start discussing intimacy, the two have very different recollections of their past. Now that Rodney is finally ready to move out, Harold uses the opportunity to further “de-clutter” Kym’s house by throwing a Village yard sale. Meanwhile, Joshua makes waves at his first swimming lesson.
Here is OWN’s synopsis of the series:
“‘Raising Whitley’ is a humorous, poignant new docu-series following actress and comedienne Kym Whitley and her riotous collective of friends – whom she calls ‘The Village’ – as they attempt to do something none of them have ever done before: raise a baby… together. When Kym signed up to mentor a troubled young girl, she never imagined she’d get a call from the hospital saying, “Your baby is ready.” After learning that her mentee exited the maternity ward leaving only Kym’s contact information, Kym experienced a cataclysmic moment. With less than an hour to make a life-changing decision – and to do a lifetime of soul-searching – Kym chose to become a mother. The Village banded together to help Kym bring up baby Joshua the best they know how, but sometimes it’s hard to tell who is more mature – Joshua or the adults tasked with raising him. Over the season, Kym learns the chaotic realities of becoming a full-time mom: She realizes that, while Craigslist may be perfect for finding an old couch, it’s not ideal for finding a new nanny; she survives Joshua’s first haircut; she gets her groove back on a manhunt with her girlfriends; and she discovers that being ‘just friends’ with Joshua’s ‘daddy’ may not be that simple.”
“Raising Whitley” season 2, episode 3: “A Stuffer’s Kerfuffle” airs Jan. 18, at 10:00 p.m. EST, on OWN. Check out the preview below.
