However, she was surprised by Ben's subsequent legal threat after he left the house.

Handi noted that she stood by what she had said earlier and was ready to take it to court. She said:

"I forgot about the issue because after the Saturday night party, he [Ben] came to my ear and said, 'That's not who I am, that's not who I am.'
"He was crying to my ear and I was like, okay, I will drop the case. That's why I looked past it. But he did do that. And I told him, you did what you did. I really wished Biggie had shown me the video or anything but I'm a woman, I know my body. I know when someone does something to me. I'm not a baby."
