This morning on the Frank and Wanda Show on V-103 Walter admits that he was convinced to “play Kenya’s boyfriend” on the show. She told me “it’s like acting.” He said he had no idea she was telling the producers and everyone else they were getting married. He says “I didn’t sign up for this.” He did date Kenya three years ago for about three months but they were not dating during filming. It was all an act. Kenya was so mad that Walter wasn’t into her that she’s been all around town saying he is gay. Walter claims the producers and “the rest” had no idea they were faking. It was their secret. The callers to the show go in on Kenya and love Walter.
Well aren’t we shocked to hear that! LOL. Nope. Worst kept “secret” ever. But hey it’s always nice when someone confirms my tea.
I believe “the rest” as he put it might not have known since they really interacted with him very little. However, I don’t believe that production didn’t know. Their body language alone shouts that they aren’t a real couple. The meeting with her family shouted they weren’t a real couple. I just think it was part of his contract to stfu as far as production was concerned. If he spills that they knew then part of his check goes byebye.
Hey, it’s working on Real Housewives of Miami. It seems women over 40 seem to feel the need to make fake relationships look real, even though the audience can see the men really aren’t into these women. Now I’m waiting for Rodolfo to admit it is not Karent’s boyfriend, and the gossip on both these women will be true.
You know what Kenya was always flirting with other men and not giving Walter any respect so really I fiqure something was wrong. She is a beautiful girl but very rule and ugly with her blunt rude ways, cant believe she was Miss USA. People dont realize how bless they are, you will reap what you sow
yeah, I agree with Karma. You can tell by the body language that he wasn’t into her. He wouldn’t even touch her when she hugged him. Watch last night episode. She is over-the-top crazy though and so inappropriate. May be it’s all for the camera, but I don’t like her one bit. I fast forward through all the antics, just like I do with Nene. I used to like Nene but not since last season.
I think production knows. They asked her if she had anyone in the area to lend a hand to her story line and his name came up. If she were dating this man for over two years for sure her family would have met and had some sort of interaction with him.
yeah the production probably figured out early on and they’re deciding to edit it to their benefit rather than Kenya’s and that in return benefits him. Next episode we here Nene say people think they’re relationship is fake and Kenya goes off. I think it was during that trip he got fed up and started running his mouth. Im sure they gave him a 3 episode minimum to wear that company shirt and a check to convince him to come on, they usually blur companies out unless its directly associated with the girls/storyline.
…this is why Atlanta is the best franchise, its always messy
Good tea Tamara
Production definitely knew. He was cast as her boyfriend just like I’ve been telling y’all. Same situation with Karent and Rodolfo in Miami. Stunt boyfriends. Just like stunt fish on No Reservations. 🙂 I told you guys this before the show even started!
Of course you did, you’re the Queen of Tea and we are your adoring and mostly appreciative fans. I say mostly because well we’ve all seen the hate throwers.
It’s funny because I must have missed some of your posts about Walter. And I was watching the show thinking, “This does not seem real!” I knew that if he was cast, you would tell us. Finally, after their outdoor dinner with all the frogs, I came to your site and there it was! I knew I was right if Tamara tattled!
I need to find your posts about Karent and Rodolfo. It’s funny to me that women over 40 feel the need to throw fake relationships at the public, and don’t think that anyone will talk or simply figure it out. It’s just too bad Rodolfo isn’t a better actor.
No surprises here! That chick is LOONY! BTW, hello Tamara! I love reading your TEA!
kenya hung herself on this one. she was better off playing the looking for love role and have the girls set her up. but of course her ego wouldnt have allowed that. im looking forward to the reunion already and we arent even halfway through. u know bravo is going to hype up “kim’s final reunion” which i picture her walking out of too
I think the looking for love storyline would have been so much better. Would have been fun seeing this psycho drop the marriage bombshell on every first date! I too am already looking forward to the reunion though I don’t believe it will be Kim’s last.
Yeah it was clearly a fake relationship, but why is he spilling the beans so early. He could’ve let speculation build and got on 20/20 or something. Miss USA, a fake relationship with a gay tow truck driver? Big rating! Now all he’s got is a fake relationship with a teenager who like to sing with her dads friends in the family rec room.
The fact is some people will believe Walters version of the story , and others will believe Kenya’s. Something must have happend on camera to make Walter look bad. Also, Walter insinuated that Kenya is on medication. Maybe Kenya has some type of mental disorder?
No one will believe Kenya’s version. No sane person.
Only a blind idiot would believe her version. Their whole interaction was just chemistry less as well as awkward. For her to insult our intelligence and act like they had something is just plain crazy.
This fake relationship was ill advised for all involved except for maybe Walter as now more ladies (and boys) will know he has a few coins. So surely the coin collectors will surface even moreso and Walter will a larger pool of playmates.
I agree; the single girl looking for a man would have been a much better plot.
The audience should not be able to sit her and blog about a fake relationship on reality tv.
I think Kenya decided to have the prop bf, production peeped game after the fact. Most of the scenes kinda seem to exploit that. They prolly put a word in NeNe’s ear and she asked (coming next ep). Like she might’ve thought they couldn’t tell. Lol like everyone is in on it but her. Lmao
Walter says he had no idea Kenya was telling people they were getting married, but every scene, Kenya is talking about having babies and getting married to Walter. I think Walter is playing a game of his own.
I think Walter was CLEAR that Kenya wanted to get married, but it was never official nor did he ever propose. So I can understand Walter’s confusion when hearing he’s engaged. Where did she get that delusional idea from. He never even led her on to the idea that he was remotely interested in getting married. I will say, Kendra is putting on in every scene for the camera. That Gone with the Wind clip from next weeks preview…SOOOOO EXTRA! Fire that B please!!! Sheree and Kim wasn’t even that animated.
I agree. He’s not deaf! And he says she knew it wasn’t real but then says she’s mad that he wasn’t into her? Wtf. They’re all weirdos.
Ms Tamara,
Is Kenya seriously that mentally off balanced or is that all for the camera as well?
willlynn, I once applied for Big Brother. Before entering the building a chugged a few beers and deliberately did things to cause a stir. I asked to cut the very long line, and they let me. Twice. In the interview in small groups I interuppted other’s during their talk. One of the people in my group had a daughter who was a lesbian firefighter. I busted out with “Wait whut? You daughter is gay?” I constantly and deliberately brought the attention back to me. It worked. I was called back.
And then I had a panic attack and dropped out of further auditions. lol. The casting guy tried everything to get me to continue. But I never really wanted to be on the show I sort of just wanted to prove I could be. 🙂 I’m way too anxious for 24/7 cameras.
I tell you this story to say. I am a bit crazy. But every crazy thing I did at that audition was deliberately done to make me look like an even bigger whackjob than I really am. I am HOPEFUL that Kenya is doing the same thing. It’s mostly a camera hog thing.
Something doesn’t add up. If Kenya asked him to fake it, why is she mad it didn’t work out like it was real?
She’s mad because he fess up publicly. If he had kept his mouth shut, she probably would have said he just wasn’t for her, or that she found a new man. Of course it can’t help that she admits having feelings for Apollo in an up coming episode! If the relationship were real, that alone would have made Walter run for the hills.
I think Kenya expected Walter to fall for her in the process. Instead, he gets sick of her before the season even ends and stops filming with her. Kenya believes her own hype and can’t believe she can’t get a man. Remember that porno thing she did for her book? The book was about how men can date hot girls like her. Kind of ironic she can’t keep a man.
On the radio this morning Walter indicated that Kenya is having a hard time with the public’s reaction to her behavior. Apparently she expected us to all find her fierce and fabulous in a Nene Leakes sort of way.
So Walter doesn’t have a contract with Bravo?
The men don’t usually have a seperate contract. Walter did not need the money. At all.
Well, that kinda points away from your big brother theory that she’s acting crazy for the cameras. She’s acting crazy AND can’t believe people think she’s crazy. I don’t think she’s as self aware as you.
It’s like my dad. He’s an awful cook but thinks he’s a professional chef. He can’t understand why others won’t eat his slop, yet still insists on cooking…because why not? He’s a great cook! It’s a cycle of delusion.
Kenya and women like her need to understand the world inwhich we all must live today…..today, black women do not, I repeat no not have the luxury of being diva’s and prima donna’s and expect love and romance to follow. There are entirely too many good decent women of all colors waiting to be with our men and for us to continue on this path of thinking our sh** don’t stink, will only lead to loneliness. I see women like Kenya every single day….all alone but fabulous.
Oh, please. Kenya would marry any man that would have her, black or not. The trouble is that she can’t keep a man, and her race has nothing to do with it!
Walter said he likes his women like he likes his rims – 22s, 24s & 26s. He reminds me so much of Keith from Good Times!
I guess he didn’t sign a contract but I’m sure NBC/Bravo isn’t too pleased with this because he just ruined the storyline for the remainder of the season. Everyone knows the show is scripted but he should have at least played along for a bigger payday. He said they did date awhile ago but it didn’t go anywhere. I didn’t believe in their relationship anymore than I believed that Nene and Gregg got a divorce. Plus, hasn’t Kenya been dating Jamal Anderson from the Falcons off and on for years?
But Nene and Gregg did divorce. There must be some damaging footage coming up. Walter was actually being portrayed as a victim of Kenya’s. I guess we will have to wait and see.
It was evident from the moment Kenya and Walter were in their first scene together, it was all game. I could see the WTH look in his eyes every single time she opened that tired little mouth of hers. I believe they may have had a brief connection as Walter stated. I also believe they stay in touch and maintained some type of relationship status otherwise she would have never even asked him to come on the show and he would have never agreed. Walter saw this as an opportunity, what he did not count on was Kenya taking the role he agreed to play this far. The only idiots that exist in this scenario are those who actually think Kenya is still the same beautiful young lady who won Miss USA! Walter got his and now he’s gone…obligation fulfilled. GAME OVER!
She dated Jamal very briefly. Notice a pattern there? And I think the fake storyline may very well end with the Anguilla trip.
HA! Him being a prop does make sense. She probably just does not understand why she can’t get a man. And I agree with you all that think the better thing would’ve been to have the others try to set her up and watch her scare them off within minutes of talking to her b/c she wants to be married and have lots of babies NOW.
A good man wants the same things as Kenya, a family and love. Kenya on the other hand thinks she’s owed this by virture of her title and looks. No man, no matter how honorable his wishes, would want to spend the rest of thier lives with someone who thinks she’s better than everybody. This woman is an embarrassement to the USA franchise, to her family, to women of color and to herself. The fact you gotta buy a man to play your man on national TV is just too much for words…..its just sad, sad sad. But the real sad part, is that Ms. Kenya just doesn’t get it…..its you and your nasty ways that make you ugly!!
I think I’ve said this before, but I love Kenya. She makes me laugh. I know she is inappropriate, but I still think she is fabulous.
Being rude, being obnoxious and acting like your god’s gift renders you two things…..loneliness and loathing.
It’s the real fakeness that ruins these shows. BH the ladies may be thrown together but they have real stakes in their reputations and businesses. Kenya just tried to create a bit of a story and it shows – we feel it. The faker the housewives get, the more set up – the less I enjoy it. It’s like that weird ass shit from Jersey last season. The ladies get a bit too smart and try too hard to manipulate what goes on and it ruins it for everyone.
It ruins it when the women become too conscious and try to manipulate the show too much. BH is good because even though they are thrown together, they all have real stakes in their reputations and places in that society. When they cast these oddballs as ‘Good additions to the cast’ it ruins all the fun.
I was not suprised that kenya’s romance was fake. Her whole presona seems fake. i cant understand why she would bad mouth walter if he was playing a role. Did she not believe that he would out her in the end.
When did Kenya bad mouth Walter? When did Kenya say Walter was gay? I guess I missed that part.
After there was no proposal … Miss Kenya went around saying Walter was gay. He went on the radio show to set the record straight. And he was nice about it too!
She must be one of those chicks that has that “Oh he must be GAY if he don’t want me” mentality. She need to sit down! Time for a fresh cup of Tea. I’m over Kenya!
Kenya was on Wendy Williams show the other week and she never said anything about Walter being gay. Was she telling friends, radio stations, or is this something Walter is saying?
well said” these broads”
Why are the bravo blogs not up yet on this episode
I knew something was wrong with this relationship, but I just couldn’t put my finger on it and now you have it…….Ms. USA, has to bribe and pay somebody to give a f*** about her nasty black a**.
Oh and I must say this……if grinding on Peter, flirting with Apollo and packing makeup all over that bad skin doesn’t boost your confidence Ms. U-Nast-A…maybe just maybe you need to look inward and figure out why men find you utterly disgusting!!
@bsbfan, I didn’t do a whole expose on Karent and Rodolfo I don’t think I just mentioned it in my recaps. At least Karent hired a real actor.
Hahaha! Yes she did. Hopefully you will say more about the Karent and Rodolfo saga. I’ve read a few other things, and still wonder if one of them will fess up.
