Melody alluded to Carlos taking revenge on her for her not agreeing to work with him in the future. Just before the reunion and after snagging the Reality Queen award from the American Reality Awards, Melody announced she was leaving the show and was anticipating the next chapter in her life. Her exit was planned to perfection with her seventh avenue product line selling out and the rest of the cast fumbling over themselves with arrest warrants, infidelity allegations, child custody battles and lies unraveling left and right. Melody's exit felt strategically planned the entire season as her relationships with the entire cast felt as though she were going through the motions to close the chapters on her longstanding relationships with her ex-husband, both sets of Scotts, Stormi Steele, Destiny Payton, and even Chris and Nell Fletcher.
The only thing Melody may not have anticipated was the drama from the unedited version of the reunion released through several unconventional channels. Still, she carried herself with grace and class, not losing her cool during the reunion and proving that she was truly the Queen of Huntsville.
During the final part 3 of the reunion, Kimmi Scott mentioned the early years filming the series. In attempting to explain why Melody should've acknowledged her OG status, she admitted the entire show was Melody's idea and that the core group, Melody and Martell, Kimmi's husband Maurice, and Marsau and LaTisha Scott filmed for free in Melody's backyard, hoping to catch the eye of Carlos and make it to television. Kimmi's revelation didn't land exactly where she intended, instead it exposed audiences to how diligently Melody worked to get the show on the air. It also raised eyebrows when the final part of the reunion wrapped and audiences wondered how a show that was Melody's brainchild would find continued success without her presence or, at bare minimum, her blessing.
For years, LAMH audiences have speculated about Martell's mistress Arionne Curry joining the cast, especially after the covert couple had a baby boy together. Knowing how hard Melody worked to build the show and understanding that she and Martell were the apex of all the relationships on the show, it's hard to imagine audiences being equally invested in the relationships without her presence. Kimmi and LaTisha have the most authentic relationship among the women on the show as sisters-in-laws, that stand totally independent of Melody. Still, the conversations and disagreements between the two have never inspired the same type of audience engagement as their interaction with Melody. Kimmi even acknowledged that she wouldn't hang out with LaTisha if they weren't related through their husbands because of their stark personality differences. The recent additions of Stormi, Sunni and Trish haven't resonated with audiences in a way that would assure audiences that a new principal female was on board. Out of the three, Stormi has the strongest on-screen presence, but she announced she and her husband were leaving the show mid-season because of the negative residue it was leaving on her million-dollar business, Canvas Beauty.
Ex-producer turned cast member Sunni has also left the show. LaTisha, Kimmi, Nelle and even the wildcard that is Trisha are all great supporting characters, but Melody's absence leaves a hole for a main character that the other ladies are not able to fill.
Huntsville became a cultural hit because of the power couple myth that Melody and Martel represented. Their marriage ending caused a domino effect on the other relationships throughout the cast that has continued to unravel. Carlos has added other characters unsuccessfully, including Louis and Tiffany Whitlow, Tisha's mother Wanda Moore and Stormi and her husband Courtney. The LAMH audience has tolerated some personalities more than others, but for the most part, the LAMH audience consists heavily of Melody's loyal fan base titled, the "Melo-meters."
The Melo-meters have supported Melody through the pain of Martel's infidelity and through the triumph of her divorce and re-emergence as a successful single mother and businesswoman. During the scandal surrounding the reunion, many of them waged a movement to veto the reunion and pressured people online not to watch it because of conversations that painted their heroine in a bad light. As season nine has wrapped, it's impossible to distinguish between the LAMH fans and the Melo-meters. On social media, they have morphed into one mega group that support Melody and would not support a Love & Marriage: Huntsville season without their fave.
