‘Mama Gotta Go’: ‘LHHH’ Fans Slam Pam After She Defends Son A1 for Cheating on Wife Lyrica

It looks like “Love and Hip Hop: Hollywood” viewers aren’t here for A1 Bentley‘s mother, Pamela Bentley.

Mama Bentley got on viewers’ bad side on Monday night after she blamed her son’s infidelity on his wife Lyrica Anderson, who happened to be pregnant during the time he cheated.

It was reported a few weeks ago that A1 admitted to cheating on Anderson with “LHHH” co-star Summer Bunni while the “Wreckless” singer was pregnant with their now 9-month-old son. This week’s episode addressed the aftermath of the producer’s infidelity, and of course it turned into a load of drama.

A1 was seen discussing with his mom the “disrespectful” selfie Anderson posted of herself on Instagram when the “Adia” singer walked in on their conversation. Anderson quickly switched the subject and focused on her husband’s affair, trying to explain to her mother-in-law how hurt she was.

Clearly failing to empathize with Anderson, all while jumping to her son’s defense, Pam claimed the reason her son stepped out on Anderson was because the singer provoked him to.

“Men do stuff because of women!” Pam yelled. “You don’t even cook, she said A1 don’t even deserve a meal!”

Pam and A1 cackled about her outburst, which caused Anderson to say that she was moving out of their house for good.

“LHHH” viewers, of course, dragged Pam for defending her son’s hurtful actions toward her daughter-in-law.

“Oh hellllll naw momma gotta go asap! 😩 She’s awful for saying that. Your son ain’t a saint. A1 got his self in the mess A1 slept with Summer Bunny and A1 needs to get himself out this mess”

“Pam needs to stay out of their relationship🤦🏾‍♀️ I feel like let your son be a man. Let him deal with the consequences of his actions on his own. She shouldn’t be involved in their marital issues. Period.”

“His mama sound pathetic. Pam sound crazy asf. Men do stuff because of women? I don’t blame Lyrica for not doing no wifey duties. 🤦🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️ If the nigga not acting like a husband why should I act like a wife ?”

Others defended Pam.

“Well his mom is right they both are wrong …but the two of them need to seat down and talk it out.. Lyrica and A1”

“A1’s mom gotta point Lyrica wasn’t a saint either so she can’t blame him 100% for stepping out 🤷🏽‍♀️”

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.
