“Use Your Brain” — Love After Lockup Viewers Slam Shonta for Ignoring True’s Behavior

Love After Lockup season 5 aired its latest episode on Friday, September 20, 2024, showcasing new twists in the lives of couples affected by incarceration. One notable couple was True and Shonta, who are attempting to embark on a fresh journey, aiming to restart their lives with a new perspective.

In the recent episode, True, who served 13 years for robbery, was paroled. He expressed immense joy about his release and looked forward to enjoying life outside prison walls. However, his freedom came with the condition of house arrest and mandatory ankle monitoring.

Shonta was taken aback when True informed her that he planned to serve his house arrest at the residence of a female friend named Peppa. Shonta pointed out that being five hours away from each other felt similar to him still being incarcerated. Despite these challenges, she remained committed to their relationship, hoping they could navigate the obstacles together.

Love After Lockup fans took to X to voice their criticism of Shonta for staying with True, despite his known infidelities. Many felt it was time for her to reevaluate her situation and recognize his inconsistent behavior.

“Shonta use your brain. He’s going to do house arrest at another woman’s house,”a fan wrote.

“Shonta continues to show us how stupid she is. God keeps showing her True shouldn’t be in her life. Yet, she keeps leaving the door open….FOR WHAT????”another fan commented.

“How slow is Shonta? I mean for real for real. Like she needs help,”a netizen tweeted.

Some fans expressed that Shonta’s acceptance of True’s behavior only encouraged his lifestyle, pointing out that she failed to confront him about his shady actions.

“Shonta complains about True living his true life and so should everyone else. Yet she gave up work and childcare to drive five hours for True. She fuels the True way lifestyle LOL,”a user reacted.

“Shonta, girl if True told you to jump, you’d ask where and how high, girl stop playing with us,”one person commented.

“True makes decisions like a child and Shonta is right along for the ride,”another fan wrote.

“True only keeps playing in Shonta’s face because she allows it..self-esteem must be hella low,”a user tweeted.

Meanwhile, some Love After Lockup fans criticized True for choosing to stay at a friend’s house rather than with Shonta, especially since she was pregnant with his child.

“True if you wanted to really be there for Shonta and your unborn, then why wouldn’t you do house arrest at her house????”one person reacted.

“How can True expect Shonta to drive all that distance while he’s on house arrest and she’s pregnant to do her appointments to accommodate him?”another netizen wrote.

What happened between True and Shonta in Love After Lockup season 5 episode 39?

After True attended his P.O. meeting with Shonta, he excitedly announced, “I’m free. I ain’t locked up.”He was granted parole but faced house arrest with an ankle monitor. The restrictions would be lifted only if he demonstrated significant improvement as a citizen. True joyfully declared:

“I’m gonna do the house arrest at a friend’s house. My friend Peppa.”

Shonta felt disheartened upon learning this, as she had hoped that True would serve house arrest with her. She confided that spending two years on house arrest at another woman’s residence felt akin to going back to prison.

With a five-hour distance between them, Shonta recognized that True would not be able to actively participate in their children’s lives. Despite this, she mentioned she was making the most of her moments to determine whether pursuing the relationship was the right decision.

Later, when the couple met with True’s sister-in-law, Kellz, she revealed her connection to Peppa, who had introduced her to True. This information worried Shonta, as she understood that True’s relationships with women were often complex.

When True insisted that Shonta should travel to fulfill his needs while on house arrest, she was taken aback and left the conversation in shock. Kellz’s comment about the possibility of True missing the births of his children due to his house arrest status further confused him.

Love After Lockup season 5 airs every Friday at 8 pm ET, exclusively on We TV.
