Speaker 1 (00:00):
Order.

Speaker 2 (00:01):
It's a fresh show. It's Kiki's Court. All rise out.

Speaker 3 (00:06):
The honorable Kiki in a wedding dress is presiding. Oh yes,
all right, but she stole from the place in New
York from say yes to the dress?

Speaker 1 (00:14):
Yes, yes, I have it on right now, so tune in. Okay,
that's at the gavel. We are in the courtroom and says, hey,
ki key, am I wrong for inviting my brother's ex
wife to my wedding and not letting him bring his
new girlfriend. I'm getting married soon, so I invited my
brother's ex Her name is Lauren.

Speaker 2 (00:33):
They were married for fifteen years.

Speaker 1 (00:35):
She's the mother of my nephews and she's always been
like a big sister to me. For context, my brother cheated,
which is why the marriage ended. Now he's dating a
new woman for about four months and he asks to
bring her as his plus one. I told him no
because I didn't want things to be awkward for Lauren
at the wedding. He's furious and now saying that he

(00:56):
will not attend my wedding if his new girlfriend can't come.
My mom says he should deal with it since this
is the situation he created, but my dad thinks I'm
wrong for inviting someone's ex while excluding their new partner.

Speaker 2 (01:09):
Am I wrong? That's a complicated one. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:12):
I pondered about it for a while, but then I'm
kind of like, when it comes to your wedding day,
I just feel like everyone has to be adults. Like
it's up to the bride in the groom who was
in attendance. If you don't like someone, just stay away
from them. But like you put those feelings in your pocket,
and you show up for your people to threaten to
not attend your sister's wedding because your ex wife and

(01:34):
the mother of your children for fifteen years is going
to be in the same room and you're the one
that cheated. To me, sounds a little bit like selfish
and extreme.

Speaker 2 (01:44):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (01:44):
Yeah, yeah, you guys with the jury eight five, five,
five nine one one o three five, I tend to
agree with you.

Speaker 2 (01:51):
I mean, like, she's not.

Speaker 1 (01:53):
Letting him bring his new girlfriend, so I could see
him feeling a way about that, But it's her.

Speaker 2 (01:58):
Day, bro.

Speaker 3 (01:59):
I mean these Okay, so there's children, so that's those
are the brides, nieces and nephews. Yes, the mother in
this case didn't do anything. I mean, we're just assuming
at least as it retains to the marriage. Yeah, it
wasn't a cheater. She's the mother of the nieces and nephews,
so she's part of the family.

Speaker 2 (02:20):
Arguably not in the wrong.

Speaker 3 (02:21):
I mean, there's always you know, I shouldn't say that,
there's always who knows what happened with there's no excuse
for cheating, but so who knows. But but yeah, I
think all that the girlfriend is going to do is
be a trigger. And it's by the way, it's a girlfriend.
It's not a fiance. It's not a wife. It's a girlfriend.
And people like to, you know, argue about that. Sorry
but wait, controversial, but that is a girlfriend. Like if

(02:44):
that was his wife, unfortunately that's a little different.

Speaker 2 (02:46):
She'd have to come. But that's crazy. A girlfriend. That's
like a date. It's like a tender date.

Speaker 1 (02:51):
And you're threatening not to attend your sister's a wedding
because you can't bring your new girlfriend.

Speaker 3 (02:57):
H Hey, I do and people I disagree with this,
but to your point, Kiki, it is your wedding. I
do think you have a right to exclude people. Yes,
because some would argue, well, if you invite someone to
give them a plus one? Why do you get to
tell them who they can bring. It's like, well, if
it's going to ruin my day, or if it's going
to cause any unnecessary drama or strife for my day,

(03:18):
then I say, you don't get to do it.

Speaker 2 (03:20):
Yes, I think this is it's about me, you know.

Speaker 1 (03:22):
Across the board, I've seen parents get upset, like you're
inviting your aunt Linda, you know.

Speaker 2 (03:27):
I don't like Linda, you know.

Speaker 1 (03:28):
And then they'll try to withhold their money from the wedding,
like an is up to the bride in the groom.
Let them pick whoever they want in the room and
everybody else you shut up in my opinion.

Speaker 2 (03:38):
Yeah, Millie, how you doing Millie? Good morning, Good morning,
How are you doing great? You heard Kiki's case. What
do you think I did?

Speaker 4 (03:48):
I definitely think the ex should be invited, she's practically family,
and the girlfriend should not be invited. You never know
where they're going to break up in about two or
three months from now, so.

Speaker 3 (04:02):
Now, yeah, I'd love to hear an argument in favor
of the X of the girlfriend of the brother coming
like I'd love to hear why if anyone believes that
that should happen and why because I just can't see
a reason why that's okay.

Speaker 2 (04:16):
It's just going to cause.

Speaker 4 (04:17):
Problems, absolutely, I don't think so either.

Speaker 3 (04:20):
And make people feel uncomfortable. Yeah, thank you, Thank you, Millie.
I'm glad you called. Thanks for listening to all right,
I have a good day, Ronda, Good morning, Good morning,
Hi Ronda.

Speaker 2 (04:34):
What do you think Kiki's cord? What say you?

Speaker 5 (04:38):
I think that the brother is wrong and he shouldn't
really even be there, especially not with his plus one
when he cheated. I think it sounds like the bride
and his ex wife are closer, so she deserves to
be there more than him.

Speaker 2 (04:53):
So you say kick the brother? Yeah, I mean I
would say that.

Speaker 3 (04:57):
I say, hey, you either come and support me without
her or don't come at all. But there's no compromise here,
like she's not coming, the girlfriend's not coming.

Speaker 5 (05:06):
Yeah, it sounded like he wanted to use that as
a threat, like if my girlfriend can't come, then I
won't come. But it sounds like you wouldn't be missing
anything anyways, So you're.

Speaker 2 (05:14):
Picking this girlfriend.

Speaker 3 (05:15):
By doing that, you're picking the girlfriend over your sister exactly.

Speaker 5 (05:21):
Exactly, and yeah, he I mean he has no loyalty
to his ex wife. It sounds like he has no
loyalty to his sister. He really doesn't need to be there.

Speaker 3 (05:29):
Yeah, I agree, I agree, Ronith. Thank you, have a
good day. Thank you, thank you for listening.

Speaker 2 (05:35):
Hi, Michelle, good morning.

Speaker 6 (05:37):
Good morning.

Speaker 3 (05:38):
Much shallow Kiki's Court love you. So, if you're just
tuning in, I want to make sure I get this right, Kiki.
So a woman is getting married, her brother has there's
some kids with a woman that he cheated on. Yes,
the bride wants to invite the woman and the kids,
the ex wife and the kids, and the brother is saying,
I'm bringing the woman I cheated with, and the sister's saying,

(06:01):
either it's you alone or not at all, because we're not.
That woman is not invited, and that's what's causing all
this problem.

Speaker 2 (06:07):
What do you think.

Speaker 6 (06:09):
I think the bride is not wrong. I think her
brother is just being a petty betty and just being ridiculous.
He can kick rocks for all I care. Like, if
he doesn't show up at my own wedding over a girlfriend,
then you know, whatever, whatever, no loss to me, no drama.

Speaker 3 (06:25):
Yeah, yeah, like you know, again, there's never an excuse
for cheating. I don't know what happened in the marriage,
but are going to be kids there. It's just like,
I don't know, Let's keep the peace for one day.
Let's just not bring your extracurricular activities into my day
one time.

Speaker 6 (06:42):
Right, Yeah, if he just kept in his pants to
begin with, none of this would be a problem.

Speaker 2 (06:46):
If we just kept it in his pants. And they
never do, girl, they never do.

Speaker 3 (06:50):
It's hard for it's hard for us to keep it
in our pants.

Speaker 2 (06:54):
Yeah, it's a shame.

Speaker 3 (06:55):
It's we're born this way, and it's it's it's ridiculous.
Thank you, Michelle, have a good day. Thank you always
having a heart Jason, So, I haven't always had a
hard time with.

Speaker 2 (07:03):
It, I really am, I I am okay?

Speaker 7 (07:05):
I can I offer like a different point of view? Okay,
here we go. The only thing I can think of
is wrong that everyone has to be mature to get
to the day.

Speaker 2 (07:15):
Whatever.

Speaker 7 (07:16):
Yeah, wouldn't you want your brother to have a plus
one so he can also enjoy his night if you're
the bride, like so he feels comfortable. There's probably an
awkward situation.

Speaker 2 (07:30):
Can't grandma or somebody grandma.

Speaker 7 (07:33):
Still I feel like, if you're in front of your brother,
he should have a plus one. But like he's I've
done invited to a whether you didn't have a plus one,
and like I was offended.

Speaker 3 (07:41):
Oh you know, plus one would have been essentially your husband.
Yeah right, So like I think that's a little different.
You're you're essentially married. You've been with the same man
for fifteen years, Like you're essentially married. Yeah, this is
we're talking about it.

Speaker 2 (07:55):
And again I don't someone.

Speaker 3 (07:58):
I don't know who this other woman is, and I
don't know what she did or how they got there.
I have no idea, but like she's clearly involved in
something that in the family has caused drama, and so
they're trying to avoid that.

Speaker 7 (08:09):
Yeah, but if everyone's just gonna chalk it up and
be adults for the day and we're all in agree
in then why.

Speaker 2 (08:16):
Not try it?

Speaker 8 (08:17):
But if I'm paying one hundred and fifty dollars per
play and it's my wedding, and maybe she was really
close to the sister in law, right yeah, yeah, and
like that's that's her day.

Speaker 2 (08:25):
Let her have this, let her come too.

Speaker 1 (08:26):
But my kids are going to be there and they
probably know how the situation ended.

Speaker 2 (08:30):
Like, I think that's not fair.

Speaker 8 (08:31):
She was the victim in that, like the brother, the
dad could have a good time with grandmother kids. Like
it's a family thing, you guys aren't going off to
some random persons. Like this is a family thing. Like
let's just let's just this night, this one night.

Speaker 2 (08:42):
But let's just another girlfriend might be the new family.

Speaker 3 (08:45):
Well, we'll see in a year maybe if they were married,
you know, and it was proven that it's going to
stand in the test of time or at least recent
timeater Like.

Speaker 1 (08:54):
That's as a girl with brothers. That's where I met
with my oldest brother right now, my family. I love
his exes, so it's going to be a fiesta of
his exit at my wedding because I love him. You
brought them around, right, So now we're at the point
in our family where we're not We tell him we
don't want to meet another check until you are married
and settled down.

Speaker 2 (09:10):
Don't bring her, you know.

Speaker 1 (09:12):
Yeah, I mean, because we fall in love with these
women and then you want us to stop being friends
with them because you stopped.

Speaker 7 (09:17):
No, that's not why he has to be okay with that,
but I do think there is a world where the
girlfriend could come.

Speaker 2 (09:23):
Shan, you crazy for this one? Yeah? I know, is it? Shana?

Speaker 9 (09:32):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (09:32):
Hey, good morning? What do you think? Keyscord?

Speaker 9 (09:36):
I truly am a strong believer. Even though I understand
what you guys are saying. I always just feel if
a bride sends out an invitation to anyone, if she
puts a plus one on that invitation, that is that
person's progative and no longer the bride's, you know, authority
to say if that person can come or not plus one?

Speaker 3 (09:57):
That do we know that she gave him a plus
one or a he just demanding the plus one.

Speaker 1 (10:01):
He's demanding one. He's saying that if she's not welcome,
I'm not coming.

Speaker 3 (10:05):
So it wasn't as though the invitation said brother and
you cheated with you know, at whatever your address is.
That It didn't say that. It said, hey, you're my brother,
you're coming. But it wasn't as though it was you
can bring someone of my choosing. It was you can't
bring anyone.

Speaker 9 (10:23):
Right then I'd have to take your guys aside on that.
Then they definitely the brother should value the sister's relationship
over all.

Speaker 2 (10:32):
Else Yeah, I think so. I think so.

Speaker 3 (10:34):
Thank you SHANEA have a good day especially. Yeah, I
do think you get to call the shots, you know,
on something that it's about you.

Speaker 2 (10:44):
Yeah, that you're paying for it.

Speaker 1 (10:45):
They'll hold it against me and don't make me feel
bad because I invite someone you may not like, Like,
it's not about.

Speaker 2 (10:51):
You, bro. Another reason why I'm not doing this wedding.

Speaker 3 (10:55):
It's who gets invited, who doesn't get invitation, who gets
a plus one who doesn't and applied.

Speaker 2 (11:01):
Let's just bring me a big gift.
