Are Yandy and Mendeecees married? Cheating controversy explored in wake of Jasmine Bleu allegations
Jasmine Bleu has recently claimed in a video that Mendeecees has been allegedly cheating on Yandy Smith with another woman. Notably, Smith and Mendeecees have been married since 2015 and a year later, the latter was sent to prison on charges of drug trafficking.
Bleu's claims were captured during the season finale of Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta and Smith was also present in the clip. Bleu's allegations come at a time when the entrepreneur, also known as Mendeecees Harris, has been accused of cheating by Zell Swag in the ongoing season of the show.
On the other hand, Bleu has not addressed the reasons for making the allegations, and the video from the show's finale was also posted on the show's Instagram page on October 22, 2024. It featured her saying:
"Look, it's part of the Frost Cult right here. I know that's right."
Rich Dollaz was then introducing Bleu to Mendeecees and the former responded by saying:
"I don't look familiar to you?"
Also known as Mendeecees Harris, he said that he does not know her and Jasmine Bleu, who was accompanied by her friend Erica Rancine, said:
"She work at the same bar as me and you have been to both of our bars before."
Mendeecees replied, stating that he went to the place to get some liquor and Bleu responded that she would have said the same thing if she was in his place.
Mendeecees denied the cheating allegations made by Jasmine Bleu
While Bleu claimed in the video that Harris went to her bar once, the reality star asked her if they spoke to each other. Bleu said that nothing like that happened, adding that she was not hinting at the same. She even clarified her words, repeating that Mendeecees visited her bar a few times, adding that she works at a strip club.
Harris then attempted to clear out everything, saying they had a conversation while he asked for a drink and Jasmine Bleu also agreed. Bleu continued by saying that she was only speaking the truth.
The video shifted to Harris who told the producers on camera that the rumors being spread about him were not true. He further stated:
"This is what I've been saying the whole time. I don't know that girl. I just ordered a drink."
On the other hand, Harris did not continue the conversation with Jasmine Bleu and he also said he was done while Erica tried to say something. Bleu also tells the producers towards the end of the clip:
"Erica Racine just happens to be good friends with one of the girls Mendeecees has been having an affair with. She's scared to come forward. But it's been happening for a while now."
Mendeecees and Yandy Smith began dating in 2008
Harris and Smith's romance dates back to the time when they first met in 2006 and Yandy was a publicist for rapper Jim Jones at the time. The duo started dating around 2 years later.
Although they tied the knot around eight years ago, they never submitted the marital documents and while speaking to Bossip in 2017, Smith said she was planning to marry Harris legally. She addressed the same by saying:
"We have definitely decided to go ahead and do the paperwork and all that stuff, not that I was so concerned or cared about that stuff, but it meant a lot to him. So it was only right."
Back in August this year, a video featuring the duo went viral, where they were speaking to a counselor on Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta, and Smith said that Harris was not wearing the wedding ring. The latter explained the reasons for the same by saying:
"I feel like once we get to a place where respect is restored, then we can wear the ring. My concept of wearing a ring is people together, as one. I'm trying to get there."
The pair were reportedly having issues in their marriage and Smith was also heard expressing her frustration with Harris. She said:
"Every single time I come to these therapy sessions, I'm hopeful and I am praying that this moves our relationship forward. I'm leaving here today painted as the bad guy. I don't even understand what the point is of us continuing to do these sessions when you constantly leaving feeling like I don't know."
Harris and Smith are the parents of 2 children, Omere and Skylar. Apart from them, the former is a father of two more kids from his past relationships.
