However, the most shocking moment was when we found out that Brianna had been hit by a bullet.
The Aftermath
Is Bri alive? That’s all most of us want to know on Queens Season 1, Episode 8. After the shooting, Jill, Valeria, Naomi and Lil Muffins follow the ambulance to the hospital. At the hospital the fans are already leaving candles, balloons and flowers as shrine for Brianna. The ladies are ushered into a stale “VIP” room where they wait for more information.

They recall the first time they met Eric which was outside a club after performing. Watching these flashbacks is very emotional because they all have real history together. A detective arrives at the hospital to take their statement. Lauren spills the beans about Eric owing Jadakiss money and how he came to the house with a gun.
They Are Alive

After Valeria’s heartwarming speech of wishing she could talk to her mom, Renee let’s the kids make their own decision. They decide to go in to see their mom.
Paralyzed
It turns out that The bullet hit Brianna’s spine. If she doesn’t have the surgery to remove it she’ll be permanently paralyzed from the neck down.
