When it comes to shows like Married to Medicine, when most of the ensemble cast have pushed each other’s buttons repeatedly, you need to add some new blood who has a new set of problems to discuss.
LaTeasha “Sweet Tea” Lunceford has been more than willing to take on the task of challenging the OGs.
Sweet Tea made her sophomoric return to M2M during Season 11. And while she was happy to return to the show with her husband, Dr. Gregory Lunceford, her ongoing issues, Dr. Heavenly Kimes, were less exciting to revisit.
Sweet Tea and Dr. Heavenly's budding friendship ended for good when the famous dentist made damaging allegations against Tea's husband.
Though Heavenly apologized, Sweet Tea told Distractify they would never have a divine relationship again.
Sweet Tea confirms she still doesn't see it for Dr. Heavenly on 'Married to Medicine.'
Heavenly and LaTeasha were friendly when Tea joined Married to Medicine with her husband, Dr. Gregory Lunceford. However, their friendship turned sour when Heavenly began making shady remarks about Tea and Greg’s age difference and compared her to Dr. G’s ex and their fellow castmate, Quad Webb. Tea eventually uninvited Heavenly to her April 2023 wedding, which played out on the show.
Tea and Heavenly’s issues exploded via social media. First, they exchanged insults when they gathered with Toya Bush-Harris, Phaedra, and Dr. Alicia on Instagram Live for what was supposed to be a recap of a Season 10 episode. Instead, a screaming match stemmed from Tea calling Heavenly a “grandma.”
Heavenly clapped back by throwing shade at Sweet Tea's fertility struggles by telling her on the live "I can have kids," and insinuated her husband wants to get back with Quad.
The drama between Tea and Heavenly worsened in February 2024 when she called Dr. Gregory a "pedophile" on X (formerly Twitter). While she edited the tweet to call him "pinky size," the insult rightfully upset Tea and Gregory.
The co-stars discussed the comment on Married to Medicine Season 11 during the cast's trip to Westgate River Ranch in Florida. Heavenly apologized to Sweet Tea for her Season 10 comments on the trip. However, though her co-star wanted to make amends, Tea told us she isn't buying it.
"Unfortunately, I think that she's just gonna keep doing heavenly things. Well, I think they're unheavenly," Sweet Tea explained. "I think that she's gonna just keep doing her, and I'm just gonna try to take that by some of the other cast members and just try to ignore it."
Sweet Tea said she's accepted Heavenly for who she is, and not in a good way.
Many fans watching Heavenly and Sweet Tea's feud at home agreed Heavenly took their drama too far with her accusations against Gregory. Although she also realized the errors of her ways and recanted her statement online and on the show, Tea said she needed more from her frenemy to feel the weight of her apology.
And while she initially thought she wanted Heavenly's "apology just to be as loud as the disrespect," she's now living in bliss by accepting that Heavenly will never be her cup of tea.
"Now it's like, I don't really need an apology, like, this is just who you are," she realized of Heavenly. "So, you know, I'm gonna just keep thriving and keep going and let the bygones be bygones. And, you know, and let the dust be behind me."
