{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Harris said she felt like she "couldn't have said 'no'" when her father wanted to speak with her doctors, noting that her father's reaction would be different towards any of her brothers having sex.
"I do think my dad treats me differently than the boys when it comes to the subject of sex and supervision," the reality star said. "My dad even jokes with [my brother] King about becoming a baby daddy. He would never joke like that with me."
Harris said she doesn't feel like she can talk to T.I. -- real name Clifford Joseph Harris Jr. -- because he "plays the victim" frequently.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}"I just don't really care to be around him right now," she admitted in the clip. "I'll be a better parent. I mean, I'm not saying he's a bad parent, I'm not saying that. I'm just saying when it comes to stuff like this, I'm just gonna be more connected mentally, emotionally."
