What happened between Mercedes Myrick and Paige Banks? Chris Williams' ex says she 'won't come after another woman'
If there's anything that can be said about Paige Banks and Chris Williams' whirlwind of a romance, it would be good riddance. The chaos that these two called a 'marriage' seems to have come to its inevitable end, seeing that Williams had Banks meet his pregnant ex-fiancée in order to discuss the issue.
But to his dismay (and to fans sheer delight) the women approached the topic with a sense of maturity and understanding. Banks made it clear that although she had intended on making this relationship work and was even open to the idea of being a stepmother, she was convinced that Williams' intentions were far from pure and that she wanted no part of the situation.

Myrick also made a statement that shocked Banks. She mentioned that regardless of what Williams had been telling her, seeing that he said Myrick still loved him and that they were thinking of getting back together, she had no intention of doing the same. Banks was left wondering if Williams was not getting back together with Myrick, then why did he go visit a divorce attorney?
With every passing moment, Williams had nothing to say in his defense, as the women calmly discussed the situation, with Myrick even apologizing for having dragged Banks into this mess, seeing that neither of the women were aware of Williams' actions.

Williams was irritated throughout the interaction, claiming that Banks was attacking him, to which Myrick only replied, 'when are you not irritated, Chris?' Seeing that his lies were catching up to him, Williams left the conversation and stormed off, while the women hugged it out, establishing that there was no bad blood between them and that they both were caught in an unfavorable situation.
Fans were quick to take to Twitter to talk about how both the women turned the tables on him, as he least expected it. "Chris has a lot of damn nerve. It was his idea to bring Paige and Mercedes together and then he has the nerve to get mad because they both collectively know he’s full of shit. #MAFS" tweeted a fan. "#MAFS Mercedes looks about how I expected her to. But she actually ended up being nice. Paige spoke truth, & Chris did not like that. Watching Paige & Mercedes turning the tables on Chris was amazing. Talk about INSTANT KARMA. I love it! #MarriedAtFirstSight @MAFSLifetime" added another.
"I love Mercedes!! She's not afraid at all to tell it like it is and call Chris on his BS. I wish Paige had said all that but it was very satisfying that someone finally did. #MAFS" tweeted a fan. "Chris thought Paige & Mercedes were going to have a Brandi & Monica moment to stroke his ego, but what he got was dragged. And WHY does his goofy looking ass keep looking at the ceiling like an infant? Talking about eating dinner & shit. #mafs #MarriedAtFirstSight" agreed another.

Myrick herself took to Facebook to address what happened in the episode.
In a post referencing the situation, she wrote: 'Sometimes you have to laugh just to stop from crying...please don’t think you know me or my story. I’ll never come for another woman and I will always give grace. Hopefully, America does the same for me because you really don’t know what you will do unless you are in that traumatic situation. God bless you all’.
Myrick made it pretty clear that coming for Banks or attacking her was never a part of the plan and that she intended to have a conversation with Banks and that's exactly what she did.
We're glad the both of them could set aside their difference and make better choices. More power to you, ladies!
