Exclusive: Play nice. Please excerpt and clearly link. Ebola. Blah. Blah. Blah.
The Real Housewives of Atlanta, Kenya Moore, Cynthia Bailey, Phaedra Parks, Kandi Burruss, Demetria McKinney, Porsha Williams, and Claudia Jordan have left the country. That’s way too many housewives. SEVEN. And Nene is not on the trip. I’ve been working sources for a day or so now and the best I can determine is that the ladies are going to BALI. That is one long ass trip. It’s even longer from Atlanta than it is from Beverly Hills and you know how jetlagged they all were.
The ladies are on a new fangled AIRBUS 380 that is often referred to as a cruise ship in the sky. It’s a double decker plan that holds around 400 passengers. There are three classes. I think the ladies are in the midlevel class which is the complete top level of the plane. That section has a bar/lounge. On the lower deck there is a high end duty-free shop with perfume and make-up and booze. They left on Korean Air’s 15 hour flight to Seoul, Korea. That much I know for sure. That is the only place Korean Air flies the Airbus 380 to from ATL. From there, I’m making an educated guess that Bali is their final destination. They would have an overnight layover and then fly the next 7 hour leg into Bali. You know how all the franchises end up going to the same places. 
Anyway, they left yesterday on Phaedra’s birthday. But if you recall after Phaedra went on Ellen, it was quite clear that Phaedra can’t stand, Demetria, or Kenya or Claudia or Cynthia. So it will likely be those four on one side and Kandi, Porsha and Phaedra on the other. In fact, that is probably why Porsha was invited. Kandi seems cool with everyone this season and was sitting on the plane with Cynthia as her seatmate. Kandi and Cynthia both donned medical masks due to Ebola fears. So I imagine there will be epic drama in Bali, or whatever their final destination is.
And then there is Nene. Nene has been tweeting about knowing when to get off sinking ships, and removing herself from situations that cause her to cope in unhealthy ways (um…. I immediately thought of her old behavior during #PajamaPartyGate) and how God is good and she is going to be on Broadway in Cinderella with her name in lights. This is type of behavior I have been anticipating as I have repeatedly told you guys that Nene is in a limited role this upcoming season of RHOA. She may or may not be on every episode (which would get her a peach) but most of her scenes are going to be on her own, or with Gregg or Porsha. This whole season is going to be odd. Phaedra stopped filming with the other women for quite a while after the Mr. Chocolate storyline broke. Nene doesn’t want to film with anyone but Porsha really. Phaedra and Nene really only want to film with Porsha and Kandi. Team Pretty (Kenya, Dememtria, Claudia and Cynthia) are likely to be the main group with all the others being satellite characters.
It’s still unclear if Nene was invited on the trip. He tweets are clearly trying really hard to convince us that she is glad to be away from the bitches. I do believe that is true. I’m just not sure it was her choice to make.
Thoughts?
Nice TT. I wonder if on episodes where we don’t see Nene they will remove her from the opening credits like they did Aviva?
Kandi and Pheadra must really be drifting apart. They always appeared to be very close. I hope the ladies enjoy Bali or wherever they end up. Please don’t come to Australia we already have enough criminals here. 🙂
I’m happy to see the Atlanta women going on another foreign trip. I like it when the women go on foreign trip, but I do dislike seeing white tourist travel. I say this because traveling as a better off white person in a lot of the world (cos that’s not American exclusive) is a different experience than traveling as a person of color.
That aside, isn’t Nene’s broadway stint soon to start (or starting) maybe that’s why she’s not on the trip? Am I wrong? I take anything that she claims with a grain of salt and agree with you that she may be over the bitches but it is DEFINITELY not her choice.
Wait…What?
I agree!!!! What???
Having traveled with a great number of privileged, white, and quite ignorant (tho most did seem to learn thank goodness) tourists, I don’t really like to see it.
Thank God they had you to teach them how to behave. You seem to have excellent social skills. Those are some lucky white folks.

She doesn’t start Cinderella until after Thanksgiving. RHOA will continue to tape until Nov. 15th

Does the actual Broadway show start after Thanksgiving, or does Nene start rehearsals after Thanksgiving? If rehearsals don’t start until after Thanksgiving, she is definitely spinning a story to make herself look as though this is her choice. If rehearsals are happening now or sometime in the next week, she probably hasn’t jeopardized her peach – at least not because of passing on the cast trip. I think if anything jeopardized her position on the show, it would be her stank attitude.
Nene said in one of her recent interviews that she moves to New York on November 4th to start rehearsals for Cinderella. I am going to look for the interview and report back
A little racist? Wow, Tamara; just, wow. You don’t like to see white tourist(s) travel? So much there to just telling on yourself. I’m done. I try to read this column but you are so nasty. Ug. So start your name calling. Bye
WHAT? Tamara did not write that.
What are you talking about Justso? Tamara didn’t say anything about white tourists.
Tamra didn’t write that – an uneducated person did, someone who thinks international travel is only for white people. And unfortunately, there are many black people who think this way.
Don’t let the door hit you in the ass on the way out!
Even if Tamara did write that – you still completely missed the point of their post. Racism? LOL
Justso, you need help with your reading comprehension, hun. You’re reading what’s not on the page, dear. You falsely accused Tamara.
Tamara didn’t write that you idiot. Buy Bye!
I wrote that Justso, not Tamara. Direct your anger correctly and accordingly, please.
The ladies will love Bali because it’s so cheap: once you get there. I went for my honeymoon from Los Angeles via Bangkok. Flew to Japan first which was 10 hours, another 6 hours to Bangkok (3 day layover), then 2.5 hours to Bali. One of the best spots, 2 hour massages for 25 dollars.
BTW, I’m black and have traveled the world and so do other black Americans. I have been to 68 cities in 19 countries. And have stayed at various accommodations, from the Peninsula in Bangkok to a bed and breakfast in Rome, and my own private villa in Bali.
There more to life than Vegas, Jamaica, Bahamas and New Orleans. Get real!
Ms. Marnie, can I please vacation with you? I will even do the fish pedicure WITHOUT screaming. I did not understand the comment regarding the color of a person’s skin and traveling abroad, but I sure can go for that affordable massage.
Ms Marnie, you are so right! This country does have great vacation spots, but I think people need to branch out more when considering a vacation or world travel in general.
I’ve not been to 19 countries. Close tho. I’m thinking 15 or 16.
You’ve traveled as both then I assume?
I’ve traveled only as a person of color, but I’ve traveled with the group I mentioned above. Traveling with that especially as they are amongst my peer group….eh it was a disappointing experience in that aspect. At least the attitudes weren’t universal. However, treatment is different (and not necessarily better or worse cos sometimes I feel they got worse — esp in Salvador, Brazil).
Outlook upon the world and ignorance about the place where you’re going to travel, culture shock, etc etc — I think as a traveler, you can be better prepared and more respectful.
I just threw up reading that.
Good tea, Tamara. The description of the plane reminds me of some commercial planes I’ve seen in pictures, I think from the 60’s or 70’s, with lounges, 2 story, and when people dressed up to travel, or go most anywhere. I dreamed of being one of those elegant people. I think those planes became cost prohibitive. I was surprised when I read new ones were being built here and sold to foreign airlines.
I hope Phaedra and Porsha can act like the ladies they pretend to be. I like to see the housewives on trips, I don’t care what color they are. I enjoy seeing other countries, but dislike any of the women acting like uncouth Americans.
When I was a kid I would go up and down the stairwell on the plane. I always loved those.

That’s great! Yes, I think the ads showed a spiral staircase. You really went in style!
Yep, you’re referring to Boeing 747s. They’re still alive and well; brand new ones. One of my favorites.
Whatever they were, I wasn’t allowed to go up stairs and buy snacks. I may or may not have gone upstairs anyway. Sadly I had no cash for a bloody mary. I did get to go up into the pilots cockpit and got playing cards.

I saw the interview that Nene did with Tracy Edmonds on Extra(?) -she said she made more than 1.5 M this season for appearing on RHOA. Why would she be paid that much if she’s being phased out, and if she’s not going to feature a lot on the show?
I was thinking about how much money and effort BRAVO has invested in Nene over the years. 1.5 million seems really steep for a single season, especially if they are going to limit her role. She could be exaggerating. Has another housewife ever said outright how much money they are earning for the season? They usually act coy or talk about how little they were paid in their very first season.But, if that is true, it does make me wonder if BRAVO thinks the salary is worth it based on getting a percentage of what she gets for her outside ventures like product lines and appearances. But, Nene couldn’t possibly have made enough on her non Bravo projects to justify 1.5 million dollars for a season in which she didn’t go on the cast trip, right? Like she did a couple of tv shows, a stint on CA, and I assume some paid appearances for other things.
It never ceases to amaze me that you believe all the crazy things that come from Nene Leakes mouth. I made 6.9 million dollars for typing this comment.
Reality tv is notoriously cheap and hardly anyone pulls that kind of coin.
TT, having a vacuum that picks up enough dog hair to knit a pug off your floor is exempt from the having no class braggart list. If anyone is lucky enough to have one that has dogs, they are allowed to tell everyone they know. Especially other people with dogs because we all understand your excitement.
Having a purple Dyson has been on my bucket list for YEARS.
Overstock selling refurbished ones has made my life.

I don’t believe what Nene says. Did she offer up any proof to back up her claim? Why is she talking about how much she gets paid anyway?
I wonder if the IRS is paying attention. She’s been inflating her salary for all who will listen!
@deb because that’s what people with no class do . They mention the designer names they’re wearing and how much it costs . They don’t know that of you have it there’s no need to broadcast it.
Unless you have purchased a purple Dyson. Then you scream it from the rafters! Hallelujah no more dog hair tumbleweeds.

Yeah, NayNay makes $1.5mil. per year, yet she has yet to donate the $20K, the amout that SHE CALLED, with the term she set in a bet with Kenya about their wealth. NayNay would donate $20K to a charity she’d name, and then Kenya would match her donation to a charity of her choice.
Kenya waited for months, and then evidently had enough of waiting for NayNay to honor her word, so Kenya went ahead to honor her pledge to Detroit Public Schools.
That NayNay has yet to donate $20K pursuant to a wager that SHE called tells us with a degree of certainty that NayNay is all hat and no ranch, or, that her claim “I am rich, bitch; I am very rich.” could be viewed as a delusion, considering that NayNay has failed to pay the amount she set, according to terms that she declared.
If one would continue to believe that NayNay is as “rich” as she claims, one probably would also believe that NayNay is a demure size zero southern belle, too (instead of the ignorant, loud, foul mouthed, lumbering, high-heeled, Chicklet toothed, lying hulk that she proves herself to be on RHOA and on other BRAVO shows.
The original deal was that Kenya would pick a charity and donate 20k and Nene would then match the donation.Now that Kenya has finally made her donation it is up to Nene to match it. Not saying that Nene will match it, but the agreement was for Kenya to put up her money and Nene would match it not the other way around.
Nene initiated the challenge with Kenya. I’ve always thought that whoever initiated a challenge ponied up first.
Hey she’s rich bitch or have you forgotten? Lol!
Some have commented that they like to see the RHW go on trips; I’ve always found the trips to be boring … I take it the husbands aren’t going?
I dont really like the trip episodes either. Its usually when they’re on their worst behavior.
I am a HUGE broadway fan. Nene is rehearsing her ass off. There is no way she (or anyone) would be able to take a trip like this a month before their broadway debut. It is a new roll for her. She has to be at rehearsal.
BTW… My girls want to see this, but I just can’t bring myself to even TRY to get tickets.
argh Spell check!!! ROLE!
I liked ‘roll’. I thought you were using it as: That’s how Nene’s rolling, these days. 🙂
Nene is supposedly in NYC studying her lines. She tweeted that she was studying. I guess Bravo will be taping her and Gregg in NYC while the others are out of the country. I hope this is Porsha’s, Nene’s and Phaedra’s last season on the show.
Three has been other seasons where Nene was not in every episode when she was filming the new normal and glee. If nene is on in a limited capacity and still hold a peach well good for her I think she is taking notes from Kim’s play book. I’m sure this trip will be boring.
Who is Mr. Chocolate?? Did we ever find out who the ALLEDGED father of Mr. President is? Did Apollo ever claim Mr. President before he went to college? Did Apollo go back “asunder”? This and more on the next episode of Maury Povitch.
They have reached their resort. Kandi and Cynthia have both posted pictures. Looks Lovely and like I was right about Bali.
I love that Kandi and Cynthia both seemed to really appreciate the experience.

I saw one photo showing Cynthia, Demetria, and Kenya on the plane; man, Demetria looks like a teenager … not a criticism, just unexpected.
I totally believe TT that Nene is holding half of a peach. If she was fired from RHOA, I doubl she would be on Cinderella. B-list actors are more valuable when they are working. IMHO that is the only reason why Bravo still allows Nene to be a FOH in order to help her move on. With real actors pitching their own reality shows, I do not see how Nene is going to make it for long without RHOA.
I’m leaning to her holding a whole peach. lol. BUT I see her scenes being her at Zumanity. Her at Broadway fittings. Her at HSN. I don’t think she will be mixing with the others much. I AM SHOCKED that she went to Puerto Rico.

She’s setting up for when she leaves at the end of the season. I’m kinda back and forth about Bravo firing her. I’m towards Bravo finding a graceful exit for her. Of course, who knows b/c Nay Nay is always lurking around. . .LOL. After seeing the previews for the up coming season, I’m curious about how I will react to Cynthia being “tough” chick. I like her but now WHO IS GOING TO BE THE NICE ONE? :/
Ebola fears? Going to Asia? Uh, Okay…
The amount of weave in porshas hair is amazing. Less is best…
Lordy! I went back and looked at the picture after reading your comment and now I’m wondering how she is able to hold her head up! How much do you think that much hair costs? :0
lol…
A bunch of money…I know for sure that’s at least 24inches of weave and 5-6 bundles. She’s a spokesman for fake hair now. So it probably cost her nothing but if that is a great quality hair, it will cost all the girls trying to emulate her easily $1,000.00.
$1000??!! Wow. Now I understand why she alledgedly took that ahem…side gig. Looks ridiculous and overdone.
I just feel bad for the other passengers that flew with them.
People who film and take multiple selfies on flights are really annoying. It can be hard to tune them out.
I am sure even with Nene on this season in a limited capacity she will be wearing us out with her ego trying to make this Broadway gig sound much bigger than it really is….PUKE!
I’m wondering what she will be able to contribute to the reunion. If she has little communication with the other wives then what can she say that will interest viewers?
Nothing! That would be nice.
nene getting a role in a BROADWAY PLAY is awesome. And the pinnacle on her acting career. This is the most impressive thing Nene has pulled off by FAR. It also doesn’t pay anything. But it is a HUGE HUGE HUGE career accomplishment and I give her huge respect for that. There is very little money involved (about 2K for a GRUELING work schedule) Here work schedule will be BRUTAL but Nene is nothing but a hustler. And she will work her ass off.
And then she will claim she made ten billion dollars for doing it.

It’s Broadway! That’s a big deal. You know how many theatre actors there are out there who would LOVE to even get a role on a the twilight of a show on Broadway? Tons!
Good on her for getting it. She’s not a great actor, but she can do over-the-topness. I mean if she wanted to really act as much as she says she does, then she needs to find more roles where she plays herself like on Glee and The New Normal.
ROTFLMAO @ The douche nozzle that thought Tamara made that comment!! I ♡ it here!
Anyway, NeNe is SPESHUL as hell! I don’t believe Bravo paid her what she’s trying to make folks believe knowing good and hell well the only cast member she gets along with really believed a choo choo train took the slaves to freedom! Nope…..not buying it…NONE OF IT! She keeps bragging about her name being in lights and I really wish someone would text Lanithia and let her know that RICH BITCHES….THE REAL ONES…never have to keep trying to convince others how rich they are. #GirlBye
DYING here!! You said choo choo train instead of just train. Hilarious!
Chooo Chooooooooooooo!
Porsha is SPESHSHUL as hell too! Bless her heart! <——— That's what old folks say when you dumb as cat shit!
LMAOOOOOOO!
If Ne Ne would get out of her own way and give the RHOA fans what they want – Happy funny Nene with her classic one liners and plenty of laughs – things would be fine. She’s allowed her success to go to her head so much that she’s about to cut off her nose to spite her face. Every time she gets into a disagreement with someone, she has to cut them off, refuse to film with them, call them broke, talk about them in every interview she does outside of the show and try to get them fired by throwing around her highest paid, OG of the show title. She gets sooo caught up in the negative that she cant just play the game and keep your coins coming in. Now her attitude is turning her fans (present company included) off. I’m sick of her looking down her nose at everyone. Its not fun to watch.
“He tweets are clearly trying really hard to convince us that she is glad to be away from the bitches.” Shade? lol
I want to go to Bali with the bitches. Lol
I hate that they are going to Bali. Bravo needs to stay away from that pristine country and do its pig droppings elsewhere!
Since that they are in Bali, you still will not have the Bali experience. Will they be sleeping in separate rooms in the middle of the paddies? No. Will they be in a quaint hotel owned & ran by a Balinese? No. Will you see a cremation? No. Oh wait a minute… maybe if Phaedra has her way!
They will stay at some jacked corp hotel and which will not give you a proper impression of the country or the countrymen.
Lol..so agree @Bravo….let me hurry up and go to Belise….can uou imagine seeing Phaedra frumping around in her too damn tight fishnet outfit fromRainbow..
Pristine?

I’m so excited for next week but I have a feeling Kenya and Claudia won’t be friends long especially with her posting pics with porsha and Phaedra today.
Claudia posted a pic with Kenya today as well.
I read the reason NeNe didn’t go on the trip is because of the long flight would be bad for her reoccurring blood clots. That is a valid excuse for missing the trip.
