Real Housewives of Atlanta Reunion: Addressing Rumors (or not)

Okay y’all, I’ve been out working in the yard and getting the front porch ready for tea sippin’ season and I got way more sun than I should have. I’m worn out. I spent yesterday enjoying the weather and digging in my garden. Summer showed up here this weekend and it is much more appealing to me than blogging at the moment. Apparently, this didn’t make all 14 of you who read this blog very happy as I am slammed with requests for information about the reunion.

I told you on Friday night/Saturday morning the tea that I knew for sure, here.  Then late last night it started. I’m getting all these emails, DMs, tweets and smoke signals about certain specific things that may or may not have happened. Today I realized that there were people who were posting bizarro crap on twitter “from the reunion”.  These are the same people losing their minds over the Phaedra allegations. Go figure.

There are always leaks on any production set. There are personal assistants, hair and makeup people, car drivers, cameramen, lighting experts, security and site employees, bartenders… all sorts of people on set. Leaks happen when, as a hypothetical example, the bartender tells his girlfriend what he heard who tells her girlfriends who read Tamaratattles and send in the scoop. Those are generally credible, if often embellished, leaks. Credible leaks do not occur when someone with a twitter account pretends to work for Bravo and tweets a preposterous laundry list of things that happened. Do you understand what I am trying to tell you?

I am not going to go down that laundry list with you and tell you each one is false (they are). I don’t want to repeat the crap and inadvertently give it “legs” on the Internet. Mostly because someone is including on their laundry list things about the housewives’ children. Some of the children on RHOA have been embarrassed enough over things that were actually on the show.  It is totally unfair for grown women on the Internet and go in on children. Anyone’s children. Regardless of your feelings toward their mother based on a realty TV show.  Pointing out that one or two of these women on the show are not going to be winning mother of the year based on their lack of providing proper creature comforts for their kids is about as far as I am willing to go. Some of the trash floating around out there right now is just not something I am willing to address here other than to say that the person spewing this sort of made up information should be ashamed.  I am asking you again not to mention specifics in comments.

The true leaks are small and not the BABY BORN WITH THREE HEADS!!! sort of headlines some of y’all seem to be believing. You can expect to see three or four people go in on Kandi. You can expect a rematch between Nene and Sheree. You can expect to see Marlo go in on Kim. There will not be any Maury Povitch Paternity tests, No lie detectors, and No criminal allegations. There will be one or maybe even two people who decide to go out with a BANG and escalate their already ridiculous behavior a few notches before their final curtain. There will be hurt feelings by those who actually HAVE feelings. The insults will be crueler than they have been all season. It sounds like it was a shitstorm.

So y’all can form your own opinions about all the outrageous gossip going on about what happened at the reunion. If someone is always on twitter with all this dirt and shocking information about six or seven people ALL DAY.  That is called throwing everything against the wall and hoping it will stick. I will ask that you do not regurgitate the crap in the comments here. It’s inappropriate. The real tea comes in small doses from trusted sources.

And now I am going to clean up the yard tools, wash out the paint trays and relax. I suggest y’all take a deep breath and relax too. It’s only TV.
