In the First Family of Hip Hop episode ‘Guess Who’s Not Coming to Dinner?’ LeA Robinson films her new music video “Hey Young Boy” on a rooftop with a young handsome male model/actor. She’s wearing sexy little shorts and thigh-high boots. Her father’s cousin Shanell “Lady Luck” Jones is there to supervise but what she sees she doesn’t like. Although the song includes the line “We can make love all night long” Shanell thinks the concept is “really crazy.” Not only is LeA caressing the leg of the model but then she teases him with a switchblade. “That’s not the idea I had for the video,” says Shanell. When Shanell goes inside to talk to LeA’s manager Billy she asks “Is she [LeA] supposed to be a bad girl, like a villain? To entice him?” he says, “No. Look, just read the damn treatment.”

Not satisfied, Shanell returns to the set where she hears LeA say, “I love it.” Clearly Shanell does not — she walks off the set. On her way out, Shanell yells at the director, “I’m mad at you because you condone the foolishness.” First Family of Hip Hop airs Sundays at 9pm on Bravo.
