Key Takeaways
- Love & Marriage: Huntsville star Martell Holt confirmed he exchanged DMs with Moniece Slaughter but denied any romantic interest, insisting he only checked on her after a 2020 car accident before insulting her with claims of “no sex appeal” and “no attractiveness.”
- Slaughter claimed Holt messaged her in 2017 while married to Melody Shari and said she never responded, contradicting his account of a full conversation in 2020.
- The clash erupted after Slaughter criticized Arionne Curry, who discussed improved co-parenting with Holt as the couple publicly reframes a relationship that began as an affair during his marriage.
Martell Holt tried to dispute Moniece Slaughter’s claim that he once slid into her DMs by confirming that they did, in fact, exchange messages.
The Love & Marriage: Huntsville star insisted his outreach was innocent—then launched into a string of personal insults, declaring that the former Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood cast member has “no sex appeal” and “no attractiveness.”
The mess started under an Instagram video featuring Arionne Curry and her sister, Adina. Curry discussed the current state of her relationship with Holt, saying the pair have grown closer while co-parenting their son, Maverick. “I feel like we’ve got better within the last past two years,” she said. “We do very well with Maverick. We enjoy each other’s time.”
Curry also acknowledged that their path to this point was anything but smooth. “The downs were ugly,” she said, adding that she once experienced so much anxiety that she struggled to cope.
Curry described the internet as “such a harsh place and such a judgmental place,” while noting that she still had to function as a mother through the public scrutiny.
Slaughter was unmoved. She entered the comments with her own Martell story, claiming he contacted her while married to his ex-wife, Melody Shari. “He was in my DMs in 2017,” Slaughter wrote. “I immediately went to his page. Saw he was married and didn’t even respond. Period.”
She then aimed directly at Curry and Adina: “You were wrong. Your sister is wrong. You a bird and so is your sister. Bye.”
Holt promptly jumped in—not to deny the messages existed, but to challenge Slaughter’s version of why they were exchanged. He claimed the conversation happened on Sept. 13, 2020, after Slaughter was involved in a widely reported car accident.
“You did respond. We had a whole conversation in the DMs,” Holt wrote. “Ain’t like I tried to holler at you. NOT ONE ATTRACTION.”
He continued by comparing Slaughter to Kenya Moore, who also previously claimed Holt had contacted her privately. “I still got all the DMs. I don’t delete,” he wrote, tagging Moore and adding, “Nope, I still got the messages.”
Holt maintained that he had only checked on Slaughter following her accident and accused her of reshaping the exchange to make it appear romantic.
Then came the scorched-earth portion. “You ain’t got no sex appeal. No attractiveness,” Holt wrote. “You a whole woman out here scissoring and eating [cat emoji] but trying to talk about Arionne. Your lil bird brain really messed up!” He closed by telling Curry that Slaughter’s comments had “hurt” her feelings.
The argument lands in the middle of Holt and Curry’s attempt to publicly redefine a relationship that began as an affair during his marriage to Melody.
Their years-long involvement helped destroy the Holts’ marriage, and Curry later gave birth to their son, Maverick. She has since joined Love & Marriage: Huntsville as Holt’s girlfriend.
