Leslie is living a life of luxury on Beyond The Gates. Thanks to Peaches, Leslie learned that she’s the biological daughter of the late Barbara Mitchell and is entitled to the trust set up by Anita. However, Leslie’s good fortune could come crashing down because of Peaches’ other secret. According to fans, that is.

Mother Dearest
Leslie’s (Trisha Mann-Grant) life was turned upside down by Peaches’ (Arle Michel) revelation. Peaches confessed that she was Leslie’s adoptive mother, and her biological mom was the late Barbara Mitchell. The news changed Leslie’s life in more ways than she could have imagined.

Barbara was a founding member of The Articulettes, but was kicked out because of creative differences with Anita (Tamara Tunie) and the group’s shady manager, Dante Green. The Articulettes went on to stardom without Barbara, who fell into a deep depression and ultimately took her own life. Feeling guilty about Barbara’s death, Anita set up a trust fund that went to Barbara’s next of kin. Since Leslie is Barbara’s daughter, she’s now living off the Duprees’ wealth.

Leslie scoring another win against the Duprees has fans riled up. Many are awaiting her downfall, which could happen sooner rather than later. On X, a fan theory suggests there’s more to Peaches’ story. “Peaches is scamming them because she’s Barbara! I don’t think Barb is dead,” wrote the poster.

Anita’s Past Comes Back To Haunt Her

Speculation about Barbara not being dead has been circulating ever since her name was mentioned. Since Barbara blames Anita for getting her kicked out of The Articulettes, it’s no surprise she would want revenge. What better way than using her daughter, Leslie, to do it?
