At that point, Incognito jumps in, saying, “I feel like I missed something.” But Gordon quickly shuts him down, saying the conversation doesn’t involve him.

“I told Mia that I’m not filming with you. You and her and I together with the kids, I’m going to be very cordial, have a good time. Without the kids, I’m not interested,” Gordon Thornton said before suggesting that Mia’s boyfriend is “pushing to be on camera.”

The new man in Mia’s life didn’t let Gordon’s comment slide. He clapped back, “I’m not pushing to do anything; what I’m doing is supporting my lady. That’s what I’m doing. Aight? You are here for co-parenting reasons, but even outside of that, we get along Gordon. I don’t have an issue with you.”

Mia then jumps in, telling Gordon they must figure things out for the kids. But Thornton stood his ground, saying, “I am not going to do one single thing to help promote y’all relationship. F**k it. I ain’t okay with it. I’m not. I’m not about to enrich y’all situation.”

As the conversation continued, Mia’s ex-husband seemed to get heated. He added that when he looks at Incognito, all he sees is the man who had an adulterous relationship with his wife and who is trying to separate his family.
