‘LHHNY’ Fans Call Kimbella a ‘Bad Friend’ After She Refuses to Forgive Yandy Amid Big Blowup

“Love and Hip Hop: New York” viewers slammed Kimbella Vanderhee for not forgiving her longtime friend Yandy Smith after their huge falling-out.

Vanderhee and Smith ended their friendship sometime in 2017 after Vanderhee claimed the mother of two disappeared from her life and was only pretending to be a good friend on social media.

The two former besties met up in the latest “LHHNY” episode to hash out their differences and possibly repair their friendship. Smith said she wanted to be there for Vanderhee and the kids since her fiancé Juelz Santana is going to jail. Smith said she knows what Vanderhee is going through because her husband Mendecees was also sent to prison for a long time and she had to be strong for their children during his absence. She told Vanderhee to let go of their beef and make amends in their friendship.

Vanderhee refused to forgive Smith for being a “fake” friend and said it was “too late” for Smith to try to be there for her.

“Yandy loves to pretend like she’s this amazing friend that’s gonna be there for you when you need her, when all she really does is post on social media to make it seem like she’s so wonderful,” Vanderhee said.

However, fans dragged Vanderhee for not trying to repair her friendship with Smith and blasted her for being a “bad friend.”

“I’m over this shit Kimbella needs to let go nd move on 🤷🏽‍♀️.”

“Kimbella stop with the shit where were you when Yandy was going through her shit I’m sick of Kimbella she a bad ass friend herself she could of tried to forgive Yandy.”

“Yandy ain’t perfect and she’ll make mistakes but damn Kimbella she’s trying to make it back right  👊🏾 get out y’all feelings ma.”

“Why would she need to pretend to be there for your situation when she has the very same situation of her on going on 🤷🏻‍♀️ Kimbella stop forgive and move on.”

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.
