Reality star and tattoo artist Don Brumfield of “Black Inc Crew Chicago” was caught off guard by the woman allegedly carrying his child during Wednesday night’s episode, and the confrontation didn’t end well at all.

Last Wednesday Brumfield’s wife Ashley Brumfield sat down with the other woman named Ta’Shay Arial who claimed to be pregnant by Brumfield. She also told Ashley, that she and Don’s affair had been going on for a year and he paid to abort her first pregnancy. Their casual meeting abruptly turned left requiring security to intervene.

Don confessed to cheating on Ashley and said it was a one night stand, but Arial cornered the reality star at the “Chicagorilla” clothing event and the tattoo artist accused his mistress of lying.

“I already told my wife I slept with you,” Don said to Arial. “Everybody that knows you associate you with lies.”

The tattoo artist continued, “Yes, I did sleep with you but it was a big mistake. I never led you on, I never told you I wanted to be with you… At the end of the day this isn’t what I want.. You think I want my kids separated, you think I want my house f**ked up? No I don’t…”

In the midst of their heated discussion one of Don’s “peoples” threw water on the pregnant woman and an altercation broke out.

“Black Inc Crew Chicago” watchers slammed Don and his crew for bashing Arial.

One fan commented, “Everyone wants to clown the woman. Like this not Don first time cheating & having a baby outside of his relationship. This man don’t respect Ashley or his marriage. So why should someone else. Like fool you really posted a video of you getting head can’t be that damn slow.”

Another said, “Regardless if she is lying, she is pregnant!!! Which means it’s some truth to what she saying!!”

Another Instagram user wrote, “He knew he was married. She don’t have no vows to uphold he does. She can sleep with whomever. She’s not the first and won’t be the last.”

The VH1 star isn’t sure whether the unborn baby is his, but he
“hopes” the child isn’t. As far as we know now, he and his wife Ashley are currently separated.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
