Anyone who's been keeping up with this season of Love & Hip Hop: New York knows how chaotic it's been. Cyn Santana, Joe Budden, and Tahiry are involved in some major drama with Erica Mena, who got hitched to Safaree, but not before Safaree invited Erica's ex, Rich Dollaz, to his bachelor party. The whole season is a mess that you just can't look away from, and this week, some bad blood from the past resurfaced. This year, Kimbella, Chrissy Lampkin, and Yandy Smith are all on the same show, which was already guaranteed to cause trouble. They proved that to be true this week when Chrissy and Kimbella's iconic brawl ten years prior was the topic of conversation.
As you may recall, a whole decade ago, Chrissy and Kimbella threw hands on L&HHNY in one of the first major reality TV fights in history, which resulted in Chrissy dragging Kimbella across the carpet. When Kim brought the fight up, she inexplicably pointed fingers at Yandy, of all people, instead of Chrissy. Kim confronted Yandy about the ass-whooping, blaming her for not jumping in to defend her all those years ago and calling Yandy all kinds of "fake."
Naturally, Kim's questionable actions got her dragged by viewers on Twitter, who tried to make sense of her decision to turn on Yandy but be cool with Chrissy, the person who actually beat her up.
Yandy Smith Responds To Accusations That She Abandoned Her Foster Child
Some observers noticed that Yandy’s foster child, Infinity, appeared to be missing from family photos after Yandy’s husband, Mendeecees, was released from prison.
Love & Hip Hop star, Yandy Smith, was overjoyed when her husband, Mendeecees Harris, was released from prison last week. His incarceration was a major storyline on Love & Hip Hop: New York, and Yandy even revealed that Mendeecees, as a federally convicted criminal, is not legally permitted to live at the same residence as Yandy’s foster child, Infinity.

Viewers and fans of Yandy’s noted that, since Mendeecees release, Infinity has been absent from her photos. Mendeecees also shared a photo on Instagram of a recent family outing, and Infinity is nowhere to be seen. In the caption, Mendeecees wrote, “Having a place to go is a home. Having someone to love ? is a family. Having both is a BLESSING. Family is everything. Thank u for all of y’all welcomes.. they’re really appreciated and it doesn’t go unnoticed!! ??”
Users took the comments on Mendeecees post to ask where Infinity was. “Where is her adopted daughter?” one user asked “I hope she doesn’t get pushed aside now that he’s home.” Another commented, “So Yandy booted the little girl ?.” These comments did not go unnoticed, and Yandy made sure to let everyone know she was not going to stand for the slander.

“That’s funny?” Yandy wrote in the comments. “How do you think she’d feel reading you say this. Of course it’s not true but how do you think it would make a CHILD feel?!!!! Kids should be off-limits. Damn. It be your own kind.” It should be noted that Mendeecees is serving the remainder of his sentence in a halfway house, so Infinity would still be able to live under Yandy’s roof at least for the next nine months. However, it is unclear what arrangement the family will set up once Mendeecees is officially off probation, but it appears that Yandy is not planning on ditching her foster child anytime soon.
