Exclusive: Guess Who Came on the RHOA Trip to Anguilla?

July 13, 2012 by tamaratattles 12 Comments

Okay, I piecing together information from sources in Anguilla. It a bit difficult because the sources are locals who are not that familiar with the RHOA and don’t know the names. Except Nene. lol.
As I am working on the story, I’m starting to wonder about the source(s).  To me it went something like this. I’d ask the source about an event and they would give a very generic answer and then I would ask did you see someone with three boobs and their hair on fire? and they would be like, oh yes, yes I did see that. So what I am telling you is that this is either some really good tea, or someone just messing with me. You never really know with new, unproven sources. But there is a pic from the mixer so…

UPDATED: My source information I thought was too good to be true turned out to be SPOT ON and has now been verified by other tamaratattles sources. YAY!
Here is what I(think I) know so far. The housewives arrived on Tuesday. They are not staying in the villa from my previous post. They are staying at the place pictured above Modena Villa. On Wednesday night they had some sort of mixer with the locals there. The villa is stunning and rents in the summer (off season) for $5K a night.  There is a five night minimum rental requirement but it may or may not be enforced in the summer. There were local young women dancers there to teach the ladies the local dance called “the wine.” It was described to me as “a vulgar waist moving dance that is very sexual.” Most of the housewives were down with it and they all started booty popping, except for Nene who was “being a bit of a diva and just sitting there.” UNTIL, she finally joined in and got up and showed everyone how to do it and shut the place down.

It is interesting to hear who isn’t there (Toya Wright and Keisha Knight Pulliam) as well as who was there (Kenya Moore) so I can definitively tell you that neither Toya or Keisha are housewives on season five but Kenya is. (I will be accepting apologies in comments from the troll who railed on me for not having the tea on KKP being a housewife.) But you will never in a billion years guess who all is there!!!

One of my sources from the mixer says THE HUSBANDS are there.  The source just said something about the husbands and I was sure he was mistaken, but he did know Nene and said her ex was with her, and “the one that married the very dark older dude” (Cynthia and Peter) was there,  He says all the husbands are there! I still can’t believe it but apparently it is true. He is very sure of this information. I asked him at least ten times. lol. I sent him a pic of Kenya and he says she was there with her man…(I didn’t know she had a man…) I think this is a great idea. It might help keep the drama down.  So because the source doesn’t know who is who really, I sent him a the thong pic of Phaedra and he said “Oh yeah, she didn’t know people were there yet (for the party) and walked into the house in that outfit and got very upset and threw a fit saying that production should have told them people were here and said to get her husband!” Then she went to her room and changed and was fine after that.

Inside the fabulous Modena Villa
They were all drinking rum punch and Peter got pretty drunk. There was lots of toasting and Peter made a toast. Later he was telling a joke and he slipped a broke a glass. I asked if everyone was getting along, and he said there were sort of two groups and that Nene was mainly keeping to herself.

Last night the girls went to the Pantha Vibes International (PVI) album release party at the Red Dragon Disco. Details from there are less concrete. The place was packed inside and out. From what I can put together they all showed up with a camera crew “stayed for like five minutes” and left. The camera crew stayed after they left and  filmed a fight between two local girls over some guy. To me it didn’t seem like they stayed long enough to get much footage for the show. But several twitter sources confirmed the cast did show up briefly.

I asked a source if he knew what the RHOA were up to today and he said they were going to a street fair in the valley. However, the street fair in the valley was last Saturday. When I pointed this out, he said there was another one today. Street fairs are held on weekends not on Fridays unless maybe it is some nightime event. I don’t know. At this point my suspicions about the whole story kicked in. So, we may just have to wait for the episode to see how things pan out. The source also says they are leaving tomorrow. If true they may be moving over to another island rather than actually going home.

At this point, I’m not sure what to think, I thought about pulling the whole story, but decided to share it with you with some reservations.

    GOOD TEA!!!!…Though I'll say this. If this is going to be Nene separating herself from everyone again…ITS OLD and she needs to leave already.Like that they learned a local dance – I'll have to judge for myself if it's "vulgar" … too many people classify tribal dances as vulgar – it's ridiculous.I kinda hate that the husbands are there – if true…TIRED of the focus being on the B squad and not the A team….and kinda glad Keisha isn't involved … and I don't think I ever believed Toya would be on the cast.Look forward to the new season – but I'm tired of the "I Walk Alone" bullshit. Its an ensemble show – be a part of the group or leave already.

    I disagree. I think Nene should stand apart as much as she can from these women and their drama. She has a burgeoning acting career to consider. She doesn't want to be typecast as some crazy, loud, messy broad forever. Growth, people! Embrace it! Who's going to want to hire her messing around with Phaedra and those allegations and Kim and her wigs? I say take the high road and keep cashing those Bravo checks until either she quits or gets asked to leave. Face it, Nene's the big draw. She is the reason for the season…all of the RHOA seasons. You don't have to like her or respect her, but you watch, in part, because of her.

    Nene was boring in Season 4… what did she do besides open gifts from that fat pizza dude? I was a big Nene fan until Season 4. Then she became a sour puss. If Nene is just going to open gifts from that dude, and sit around and talk with Cynthia she needs to go. That is boring. Nobody wants to watch that sht. She is no longer the fun, witty, Nene everyone fell in love with in Season 1-3. And since when did Phaedra become "toxic" she is a very established entertainment attorney in Atlanta. She is also hilarious. Her southern sayings are hilarious.And with Sheree gone, who else is going to put Nene in their place? Kandi rolls her eyes at Nene and moves along, Kim ignores her, Cynthia follows her, and Phaedra is nice to her. Sheree was the only one that would stand up to her.And notice Nene never tried to get in Sheree's face. She knows Sheree could knock her out.I wish they would kick Cynthia off the show. She is nice to all the women, but when Nene is around she suddenly grows a spine and gets an attitude with everyone… pffft

    And the same goes for Kim. If Kim is not going to show up for events, and just sit around pregnant barking orders at Sweetie, they need to kick her off and let her do a spin off. Phaedra was pregnant for Seaso 3, and she managed to show up for several events.

    A word about the price for the lodging:film crews get a DRASTICALLY reduced rate for filming hotel properties. I been on shoots in Anguilla and was shocked to find out that (when promotional consideration is involved), the production company can pay as little as 20-30% of the regular booking price offered to the general public (In the States, hotels also give slashed rates, but not as little as 20%). The irony is that the larger the client, the better the deal the production company is able to secure for the "location" fee of shooting. So while the place they're shooting in Anguilla costs $5,000 a night, there is very little chance that the production company utilized by Bravo actually paid that amount. Nice island, though. Outside of the outrageously priced accommodations there, the rest of the island is very basic, friendly, and not too expensive…and yes the locals love to "wine " sexily on the dance floor…or sand bar (it appears the island inhabitants have a very "free" attitude towards sexuality)—and lawd, the stuff you can hear on Anguilla's radio. The music is sunny and happy, but if you listen to it closely, the explicit lyrics can make a grown woman blush. All in all, it's a very laid back, care free place, I'm very curious to see how this season's vacation episodes are going to turn out and what the cast will make of the experience; if these women manage to make a mess out of being in paradise, then it will be official for me that they're ALL cukoo-ca-roo, lol.

    Tamara, when exactly did they started filming? Isn't it kind of early into for them to be going on a trip?

    Wow! Tamara thanks for the Tea, as always,you give a very concise, accounting of the real tea hunty!As far as the "posters" with the smart azz remarks, if you don't like Tamara's tea, there are other ATl blogs (though not as eloquent) out there–why read and complain. Damn, some people have no damned class.Until next time…

    Oh, and @KayTee, I agree with you 110%, if NeNe & Kim, are going to separate themselvesv from the others then they should leave the show. STAT!

    NeNe should separate from he others if she is trying to transition from reality…that is what Bethenny Frankel did only hanging with the girls when needing to promote something. Is the fight between the locals the reason why previous "inside source" thought NeNe/Kandi/production were fighting. I would expect NeNe to claim there was no altercation but I find it more believable when Bravo confirms also there was not a physical altercation. Is the "inside source" trying to make sure we…(all puns intended) Watch What Happens. I will be glad when my kids return from summer break so I have something else to do besides care enough to keep up with someone else reality…
