From flirting to gunshots, episode 11 of Love and Hip Hop Atlanta season 3 is more than just a handful. One major character gets an important life realization after being shot, and denials are in play in more than just one instance.

For those who watch Love and Hip Hop Atlanta, scandalous happenings and wild scenarios are as usual as the common cold. For episode 11, denial became Stevie J's main defense when Joseline confronted him about sleeping with Benzino's current fiancée, Althea. Benzino and Althea both know the truth, but it seems that Stevie J isn't ready to face the reaction of his current woman when she finds out what's the "real deal.

As for Benzino, things are looking bloody, quite literally. Though the injury is not fatal and Benzino will surely recover, he was shot by his nephew before his mother's funeral. Because of this life-threatening ordeal, he admitted to Althea that she is the only thing that cannot be absent from his life.

"I have a whole new lease on life, I can't live without you," said the recovering Benzino to Althea, as reported by Radio TV Talk.

In another wave of denial in the episode, Lil Scrappy meets up with a friend named Erica Pinkett, and after Pinkett showed Scrappy's "flirty texts" from him, Scrappy denies that the messages were from him and that he was showing any interest. Pinkett gets mad and throws a drink at Scrappy, mainly because according to her, he "manipulated" her "emotionally."
