I’ve had a draft of this post laying around for ages and of course now that I am ready to write about it It can’t be found. I was probably making the whole thing too complicated anyway.  Anyway, for reasons that I don’t understand we will be having not one but two new episodes of RHOA this week. One at the regular Sunday time and another on Tuesday.  Kim has her baby in the first one and brings home baby KJ in the second one. I’m sure that will get a lot of airtime, but what has been bugging me for weeks is the Sheree and Butt Head Bob storyline.

Of course we will be duing the Time Warp again because Kim’s baby was born on March 31  and Butt Head Bob filed his motion on June 6th. But those are the least of our problems this week. Click through to find out why I am three flavors of confused about this whole courtroom drama.

First of all I can’t imagine the level of desperation that motivates someone to actually decide that of all the men in the world, Bob Whitfield is the one you want to have babies with. I just don’t get it. But that happened so let’s try not to visualize things too hard and move on.

Here’s the thing. On the very first night of this season they showed a rather longish clip of upcoming catfights and defugalties. As part of that clip you saw Phaedra and Sheree in a courtroom with I believe Butt Head Bob also in the shot. So one would think that Sheree hires Phaedra to represent her in her divorce. And in fact, last episode, we saw Phaedra trying to get Sheree to take Butt Head Bob to court.
Phaedra offers to represent her.

Here are the two major red flags that went off in my head. First, did Fulton County really allow a camera crew for a reality TV show into the courtroom of a divorce proceeding that involves minor children? I really can’t imagine that. Yet, we see it in the clip.  Next, Phaedra is not a divorce attorney. Her practice covers sports, entertainment and intellectual property. Some of y’all out there with your own blogs need to acquaint yourselves with the term “intellectual property” by the way. I’m just saying.

Also, up until this Tuesday’s episode they make it look like Sheree was talking about taking Butt Head Bob to court but Butt Head Bob is the plaintiff in every instance they have been to court against each other.

Update: A lot of data  and text was missing since Fulton County Court documents tend to fall out of Blogger for some reason. This also is why I thought some of you did not know how to click past the jump because it was all there the first time I posted it. I have reformatted as a word document so I hope it sticks this time. Below you will see the entire timeline of the court process. Also I looked at each appearance individually and Phaedra was never the attorney of record it was always Nicol Hanyard.

So since my first post, which somehow got mangled there was an update at the county clerk’s office. Someone filled an objection on Wednesday, which may have been Sheree since she is the one with an attorney on record and the other party was served. The next scheduled thing as of now is a status conference January 11th.
So any scenes we see of Sheree and Phaedra in the courtroom will be highly suspect of being a reenactment. Leave me a comment and sorry for the mangled post. It’s  mysterious and made me wonder why so many of you were making comments about things that I posted!  Apologies all around especially to the ever helpful N. Anderson!
