Reality TV star Yandy Smith is at the center of controversy after her former best friend and hairstylist, Bryant Jamison, publicly accused her of cheating on her husband Mendeecees Harris with London-based fitness trainer Michael Adusei. The internet quickly ran with the claims — and now, Adusei himself has confirmed the relationship.

In a now-deleted Instagram statement posted early this morning, Michael Adusei acknowledged the allegations, writing:

“Out of respect for everyone involved, I’ve stayed silent as the internet did what it does. But to be clear, yes, I was involved with Yandy Smith, and it wasn’t just a one-time situation. It happened over a period of time.

I’m not here to argue, defend, or point fingers. I take responsibility for my part and am moving forward privately. I won’t be speaking on this again.

Respectfully, let’s all move on.”

The confirmation sent shockwaves across social media, as fans of Love & Hip Hop have long followed Yandy and Mendeecees’ rocky but seemingly resilient relationship. Neither Yandy nor Mendeecees has made a public statement since Adusei’s post.

Jamison, who initially exposed the alleged affair, took to his own Instagram Stories to double down, saying he had “no reason to lie” and that he “watched everything unfold up close.”

While many fans expressed disappointment and disbelief, others have praised Adusei for owning up to his part in the situation and choosing to move forward without additional drama.

As the fallout continues to spread, all eyes are on Yandy and Mendeecees to see how — or if — they will address the bombshell revelation.
