Viewers were in for a shock when 'Marriage Boot Camp: Hip Hop Edition' returned on March 26 night. During an emotional exercise, Bianca Bonnie revealed she was a victim of abuse when she was younger. 

After the couples explored the characteristics of sex in their relationship last week, they were asked to open about their childhood traumas this week during an emotional exercise.

While everyone's story was tragic to hear, the one that was the most heartbreaking was Bianca's. 

Opening up in front of the other couples, Bianca revealed why she had trust issues. "I have, like, trust issues with everybody. My mom had to work, anytime she had to do something, or work, she left me with a family member. This person – she slapped me in my eye so f–king hard, I’m like, if your family member can treat you like that, then how can you trust anybody else in the world.”

During the confessional, she shared, "I love talking among people that can understand me and give back positive feedback and not just judge me." Though it was painful for Bianca to share what went down in her childhood, Dr Ish reminded everyone else why it was important to go back in their pasts to see if that relates to the way their reactions are now.
