Another day, another hearty helping of “Love & Marriage Huntsville” mess from two contentious exes.

The drama isn’t random pettiness however, it stems from the two being embroiled in a custody battle for their four children. Melody recently told TheShadeRoom that her ex filed for full custody of their kids and Martell recently confirmed the report while making accusations against Melody.
After speaking on their court battle, the OWN reality star went head to head with his ex in a series of excessively messy InstaStories that the world has a front-row seat for.

Martell Holt Talks Child Custody Battle With Melody Shari, Responds To Stolen $17K Rumors
Over the weekend rumors swirled that Melody was victorious in their court battle and Martell was denied full custody of the kids.
Taking to Instagram Live, Martell said that that was untrue because he and his ex have yet to have their date in court. He also alleged that he tried to settle the custody battle numerous times but his ex-wife wouldn’t agree to “limit the babysitters” that watch their kids.
“Three times I tried to settle it outside of court and right now I’m trying to settle outside of court,” said Martell. “We have to limit the babysitters, it’s like 20–23 plus babysitters. I think that’s excessive.”
Martell went on to say that he had an issue with “men watching his kids” while pointing out that Melody’s brother and his husband have allegedly been babysitting without his permission.
“We talked about girls and little boys, I don’t want men watching my children to be real about it,” said Martell. “When we were married it wasn’t a problem then, so it shouldn’t be a problem now.”
“So I know a lot of people [are] like it’s the brother but it’s times that the brother left and his husband watched my children,” added Martell. […] “I don’t have anything against anybody being gay, I’m cool with gay people I don’t care about you being be gay—be free, be you who you are I love people being free, but when it comes to my children, our children I don’t want to put them in a position where anything could possibly happen.”
He also brought up an allegation that he stole $17K from his ex-wife.
“Guys, that was crazy too,” said Martell. “No, I did not steal $17,000 from her. I would be in jail. […] No, I wrote down that just because we’re going through divorce that doesn’t mean that the money we once shared is now just yours. No, we got things to pay and your money is included.”
He went on to detail a story when Mel allegedly swiped money from their joint account and put it into her personal account.
“That’s what you call stealing money out the account, right?” said the reality star.
Martell And Melody Trade Shots On Social Media
The drama continued on social media with Melody clapping back at Martell and alleging that he’s been ordered to return the $17,000 in question.

“This man is delusional but baby, start a battle but I’ll win the war,” said Melody who said she was going to hold an event for bloggers so she could expose Martell.
Melody also alleged that her ex-husband who she called a “mental case” is homophobic and recently had his utilities turned off.
“Yo uncles can watch the kids, but my brother can’t. Mann… this joker been so homophobic for the longest and I ain’t said anything about it …nada. But I PROMISE the messages I have ain’t gonna lie. This is gonna be the event of the year. #gaybasher #Beenhatingonthelgbtcommunity.”
She added that her ex is a “cheater, manipulator, liar, narcissist and criminal” before warning;
“Keep bringing yo a** to social media and Imma keep tearing ya a** up from this day forward!”
That clearly incensed Martell and he followed up with accusations of his own that included claims of cheating.
Hit the flip for that.
According to Martell while they were still married Melody was cheating but instead of coming clean, she took his infidelity with his mistress Arionne Curry to TV for a storyline.

“Now you got the entire country looking at me like it was all me when you played an even bigger part,” wrote Martell. “I’m not done! Who was watching the kids when you were with our attorney? Who was watching the kids when you were sleeping with my frat?” added Martell.
“Who was watching the kids when you were sleeping with someone I knew personally? All while married! I’m a hoe because I was sleeping with 1 person? Nope. You are for having a roster! Yo list runneth over!”
He also brought up Melody speaking about him on TMZ. As previously reported Melody commented to the news outlet about Martell’s new relationship with Shereé Whitfield.
“You just went on TMZ calling me out my name, I’m suppose to ignore? I was showcasing a BB [bad b****] and you don’t know how to react. You keep me in your mouth for a storyline. You have to because no one wanted to film with you.”
He also uploaded a video of Mel out at a restaurant with an unnamed man as alleged proof of infidelity.
“Nice couple, but he is married too,” Martell captioned the video in the carousel below.
This…is…a…mess.
If you care to keep up, it looks like the battle is ongoing.
On Monday Melody alleged that her ex recently asked her to take him back.
In a series of InstaStories, she also denied sleeping with their previous attorney.
“Ever notice how when men get caught up and you leave em all of a sudden you a hoe?” wrote Melody. “But just 4-5 weeks ago, begging me to take you back. “Mel, you know we soulmates,” she alleged Martell said.
“I told you then and I meant every word, it’s a hell no for me and God bless you on your journey!”
[….]
“And maaan if you don’t stop with this “she was messing our with our attorney” s***…you’ve been saying it for years…prove it,” she added while saying she only sent flirty text messages that Martell took a pic of.
“I can do some over the phone flirting if I want to with who I want to. You had a whole chick pregnant at the time. Mad cause you can’t have me…I know baby…”
Melody also created a special 25% off discount code for buyers of her Seventh Avenue skincare line. The discount code is FNF, a nod to rapper Glorilla’s track “FNF” which stands for F***k N***a Free.
Carlos King, the creator of “Love & Marriage: Huntsville”, has weighed in on the drama and he’s reminding everyone that #LAMH premieres Saturday, September 10 on OWN.
