The girls’ parents, Vivienne (Anna Maria Horsford) and Julius (Obba Babatundé), soon followed, hoping to get Nicole to return with them to Chicago. Instead, the pair stayed in L.A. to be closer to their kids.

In late 2015, the arrival of Julius’s secret daughter, Sasha (Felisha Cooper), stirred up trouble within the Avant family. Viv was devastated to learn her husband had cheated on her, and Sasha went on to sleep with Nicole’s beau, Zende — twice — even faking a pregnancy scare.
