Zeus Network's Baddies Midwest season premiere on November 3, 2024, captured a serious confrontation between cast members and sisters Chrisean Rock and Tesehki Malone.
Rock, age 24, brought up allegations of childhood abuse against Tesehki, age 29, during a filmed segment, while holding her two-month-old son, Chrisean Jesus Porter.

The incident occurred at the Baddies Midwest's primary filming location. Rock specifically addressed an alleged incident from 2007, when she was seven years old and her sister was twelve.
Tesehki, born Latifa Malone, immediately rejected these claims and announced plans for legal action. The Baltimore-raised sisters grew up with ten siblings—six biological and four half-siblings—under parents Eugene and Charla.
Chrisean and Tesehki clash over past abuse claims during Baddies Midwest Episode 1
The November 3 Baddies Midwest episode showed Rock walking into the main area where Tesehki sat with other cast members. While holding her baby, Rock spoke directly about events she claims happened 17 years ago.
The footage captured Rock stating exact details about alleged inappropriate acts she claims Tesehki forced upon her. Tesehki, now 29, stood up immediately upon hearing the accusations.
“You said what?!...I’m done talking…B***h, you’re going to jail — defamation!” said Tesehki.
The Baddies Midwest's security team stepped closer when Tesehki's voice raised in defense. Rock maintained her position while other cast members tried to create distance between the siblings.
Tesehki's public defense
Following the broadcast, Tesehki used her social media accounts to present evidence against the accusations. She posted a video from 2023 showing Rock taking part in family discussions where different statements were made about their childhood.
Tesehki wrote messages explaining her side of events, supported by older family videos and photos. She shared clips from previous Zeus Network episodes where both sisters appeared together in different situations. Her defense included documented timelines from their shared appearances on television shows and social media posts from earlier years.
In response to the Baddies Midwest episode 1, Tesehki threatens legal action for defamation. She supports her defense by sharing an old livestream video where Rock previously discussed trauma with Tesehki and another woman. In this earlier footage, Rock stated:
"Y'all went through some sh*t. I never personally went through something that took my childhood away."
Documented history
The sisters' public conflicts trace back through previous Zeus Network shows. In August 2023, during a Baddies East nightclub event in Baltimore, video footage captured a heated altercation between Rock and Tesehki. The incident escalated when someone poured water, leading to a fight that moved outside to a van.
Security personnel and law enforcement intervened to separate the women. Earlier that same year, their relationship appeared different. On March 14, 2023, Tesehki posted a supportive birthday message for Rock on Instagram, writing
"LOVE IT UP, LIVE IT UP, YOUR WORTH MORE THAN ANYTHING MONEY COULD BUY" with celebratory emojis.
Tesehki joined the Zeus Network cast in 2023 through Baddies East before transitioning to the Midwest series.
The sisters have a complex family background, with documentation showing they grew up in Baltimore alongside ten siblings—six biological and four half-siblings—under parents Eugene and Charla.
Prior to the current controversy, Rock has maintained a presence on multiple Zeus Network productions since 2022. Rock became a mother on September 3, 2023, when she gave birth to her son Chrisean Jesus Porter.
The alleged incident that Rock references dates specifically to 2007, when she was seven years old and Tesehki, born as Latifa Malone, was twelve.
Both sisters remain active cast members on the Zeus Network's Baddies Midwest, which premiered on November 3, 2024.
Comments under social media posts show ongoing public interest in the situation as the Baddies Midwest Season 1 continues to air.
