October 16, 2015 Kellie Freeze 2

At the end of last season of BET’s drama, Being Mary Jane, our favorite news anchor suffered a devastating car accident after she learned that her BFF Lisa (Latarsha Rose) and her on-again, off-again ex-boyfriend David (Stephen Bishop) had been intimate.

But if you worry about the series facing a sophomore slump, don’t. […]
