First of all, my thoughts are with our friends in Sydney tonight as some sort of terrorist situation is going on there. Everyone be safe.
We are right back where we left last week with Nene running her ugly mouth at Cynthia and Cynthia just sitting there watching Nene implode. I just noticed Porsha’s hair. If that is her hair line it looks like some really good hair. She’s a great spokesperson for the hairline too. The whole find someone pretty and dumb as a bag of weave must be making the company giggle. A lot. Anyway, Nene screams at Cynthia like a banshee and walks off.
Nene comes back, dabbing her eyes and Phaedra says to Kandi, “Maybe we should let them have a moment.” Which we know really means, “Hey, let’s try to go get a drink before this bar shuts all the way down. I need a chicken wang or somethin’.” (Nightmare recount of filming this scene here.) So everyone tries to make a break for it and leave Cynthia to deal with Nene. 
Cynthia tries to tell Nene why she does not want to be her friend. Nene will not listen. I am concerned about Nene’s nose. I’m being serious. I know we like to joke about it growing back, but it’s just not normal. She needs to have that looked into and see if she has a medical issue. Not even kidding.
So the ladies stand around and Phaedra starts muttering about Jesus. Then Phaedra says “let’s get out of here!” and they all left and went to Chik-Fil-A or something.
Later Nene and Cynthia debriefed their husbands. Peter tells Cynthia she is a fool for making up with Nene. Gregg tells Nene she should make-up with Cynthia. Nene doesn’t understand that Cynthia doesn’t control Peter the way that she controls Gregg.
Phaedra
Oh Jesus, Phaedra is about to do a scene where she pretends she is a practicing attorney. I can’t already. My sources say that the office where they film these scenes is not even her office but another’s attorney’s space that allows Bravo to film there for a fee. I do recall this bizarre lawsuit against Derek J. Or maybe I am thinking of this one where the crazy dude with a gun came busting into his shop because he felt he stole his client.
Phaedra is talking about how now that Derek J is a celebrity people will come out of the woodwork with outrageous stories. Is she talking about Derek J or herself?
Later we waste time with Phaedra going to the J Spot.
Cynthia
Cynthia is also in NYC to walk in New York Fashion Week. And she gets to close the show! Her friend the designer tells her that her ass is too fat and her walk is too slow. He actually has another model show here how the young girls walk these days and calls her “granny city’! Oh the shade of it all!
The 40 minute mark was Kenya and Claudia at a cooking lesson. So cute.
Kenya comes in to town to support Cynthia in her show. Leon and Peter are both there taking video of her walk. She did great. I hated her hair. Cynthia also walked for Betsey Johnson while she was there.
Kandi
Kandi goes to NYC to meet with Todd. Kandi is acting like taking a train is the grossest thing in the world. Todd is taking her to the Bronx to see where he grew up. Kandi could care less about anything until they stopped for pizza. It did look like good pizza.
That night Kandi and Todd have dinner with Cynthia and Peter at Spice. Cynthia can’t really eat because of her show the next day.
At dinner the producers make a point of showing that Todd does not wear a wedding ring. Peter says that his mother is still pissed that Cynthia’s mother tried to hide the marriage certificate. Todd is so mad he is nearly crying because Kandi is not sympathic. Every week, we learn this marriage is more and more doomed.
Kandi and Todd meet Mama Sharon (May she R.I.P.) at Sammy’s Fish Bar. Todd wants his Mama to come live in Atlanta. She is not interested. Sharon calls Kandi out for lying to Todd about what Mama Joyce said about her. (Which is truth.) Kandi cops an attitude and says “this lady think she is fixin’ to damn snap on me?!” Kandi is disrespectful to her husband and her mother-in-law. Sharon says she will punch Joyce in the mouth.
Sharon has had quite a few margaritas and is now running her mouth about “consequences” for Mama Joyce. Suddenly I find myself thinking about Mama Joyce watching this episode…and I’m not even going to say it but I know what that witch is thinking.
Next week: More Phaedra and Apollo drama. I did not know that Phaedra went to the Charlotte opening of Bar One. She can’t be shocked that Apollo was there, Peter and Apollo always film together. And Demetria shows up and we start to understand how she managed to lose her peach.
I’m off to recap WWHL. So try to wait for me!
Demetria is going to make an ass out of herself next week trying to come for Kenya. Wonder how Kenya handles this one. Tonight was a very boring episode otherwise
Demetria’s coming for Kenya cost her a peach. LOL. She was supposed to have Claudia’s or whoever took Porsha’s. Demetria’s bullshit attitude cost a lot in post production with the editing her out. In the beginning of filming she was in A LOT of scenes. She was intended to be full time. Claudia was just filming as a FOH with Kenya.
From what I heard, Demetria came for Kenya when she did not send for her. lol. Later Demetria tried to calm down and be on Team Pretty eventually but she was never a welcome member. Production hated her and I don’t expect to see her back…

*sips tea* This is juicy! Thank you! And the sad part is TeamBeastly wasn’t here for her either.
Isn’t that what they get paid to do……act a fool
Great recap, thank you. I have to agree with you about what that witch, Joyce, is probably thinking as she watches Mama Sharon. Most of the time, I try to respect the elderly because they’re usually wiser and deserve respect, but that woman is trash.
Agreed. This was a great recap that covered the bases pretty well. My favorite line.
“Nene doesn’t understand that Cynthia doesn’t control Peter the way that she controls Gregg.”
Preach.
Why is this show so boring ? Has it run its course? What did I miss? Demetria lost the peach ?
Really not looking forward to next weeks uncomfortable moment with Apollo and Phaedra, a lot of people who comment saying Phaedra shows NO emotion (which is crazy to me) but she will break down over talking about how she has to tell Ayden about Apollo going away, Tamara I know you’re rough on Phaedra but you can clearly see she’s trying not to have a breakdown moment on camera, when Apollo had his arms around her it just looked like she was screaming on the inside “get the hell off of me” beyond awkward and kind of scary the way Apollo just disrespects her…borderline abusive in my opinion.
Why sign up for reality tv if you are not “real”?
Its human and health to breakdown or get emotional over something like that. What’s unnatural is her cold nature when discussing it. It doesn’t matter how many degrees or jobs she has. All the strength and plastic surgery in the world couldn’t keep me from getting emotional over a situation that impacts my kid
WE don’t use nicknames here, but its not just by chance that many people refer to Phaedra as “Fake-dra”. The woman is ice cold and it is not normal. Her concern is to “save face” (laughable at best–what is there to save?) I could be wrong, but I cannot remember her breaking down over telling Ayden or Mr. Ambassador or whatever his name is where his dad went. Say what you will about Apollo, but I believe he loves Ayden to death, and vice versa. Phaedra could have allowed Apollo to spend as much time as possible with his kid(s?) before he left for half a decade.
…I could go on and on all day, but I just remembered that I feel like maybe “forgiveness” is a MAJOR theme in the Bible… I must be wrong. I mean, Phaedra is a woman of God and about the least forgiving person I have ever seen.
Apollo had a long period of time before he had to report to prison to spend time with his children BUT he chose to go clubbing most of the time. Ayden is way too young (and very smart) to be visiting a prison setting. Apollo is so self absorbed to really think what impact of his son visiting a prison. Phone calls can and should be the means they communicate for now Apollo telling Phakedra that he wants a car, a place to live and money (? where is the money he stole) is so ridiculous but maybe he is blackmailing her! He is a THUG, will always be a THUG!!
@jteaspills: Claudia and Roger Bob stay in the same Midtown condo building. Claudia and Kenya are friends. Something about the whole Demetria intro seems contrived.
Stop the press! Phaedra has a story line that doesn’t involve Kenya, Apollo or the kids. That was a cute scene.
I’ll be back later.
Do you have some more tea to spill? LOL.
Demetria is giving me Porsha 2.0
I do, but I can’t get into specifics. Let’s just say Bravo meant to hire her fulltime. Wait. can you tell I’ve been drinking lol?
I do spill too much on a late Sunday night…
Anyway, the intention was for Demetria to hold a peach. But word on the curb is she is a ginormous cunt and the crew could not deal and Claudia and Kenya were fun. So instead of D snatching the peach from Porsha who they strung along just in case.. Claudia just bent over, picked up a peach and put it in her pocket.
No one liked Demetria. NO ONE. Now whether or not they show that is another story. It was still good news for Porsha who was no guaranteed ANYTHING when she shot. At least she got FOH…. which was NOT planned either.
now stop or I may lose my source… I get very chatty while drinking…

Bravo editing makes a LOT out of Kenya’s flirtations with Roger Bobb. Kenya would flirt with a stop sign. It’s just her personality. She is not (or was not) interested in Roger Bobb. At the time she was seeing some else.

You are spilling all kinds of tea! LOL. Very interesting! But don’t hate me later, blame the alcohol!
Didn’t Derek J once say to Miss Lawrence that Phaedra tried to sue him (before RHOA was a show)? I think they had this discussion on some “extra special” recap show they hosted maybe two or three seasons ago. Funny that Derek J would seek legal advice from a disgruntled client who once threatened to sue him for subpar salon services. I’m losing interest fast this season… Thinking I might just go back to watching soap operas. They’re just as fake, but more entertaining.
No that was Miss Lawrence that had said Phaedra tried to sue him.
I believe it was Sheree who tried to sue Miss Lawrence. Sheree is known to abuse the court system. She files frivolous lawsuits, when she should of been spending her money on her cough Charteau instead of lawyers.
LOL @ SHeree paying her lawyers. She summoned one to my court case who had not been paid. Allegedly.
Also I bought the transcripts for our cases… Mine were sent to my lawyer and I paid and picked them up. It was like less than $200. Sheree wanted the court reporter or whoever does that to meet her somewhere and front her the copy to be paid later or something….allegedly. I forget how it all went down.
The person who was to be paid was afraid of her crazy ass and met her in a public location. Sheree is notorious for not paying her atty fees and she tried to get my atty but she was already repping me. I doubt she would have taken Sheree anyway as she has a bad rep with attys. (search Sheree on my site)
You remember Sheree? She was the one who brought a stalking suit on me despite having no idea what I look like, what kind of car I drive or ever seeing me, and then drove through the ghetto and had someone follow me to the mall and steal my keys… Allegedly.
Yet she still lost her cases. All 3? 4 ? of them?
Isn’t it strange how some HW who are so rich and happy keep coming to my ghetto to photograph things? #PhaedraThugs #Allegedly
What could some fat chick on a couch in the ghetto possibly know that is so threatening? I surely do seem important to some folks.

I guess ifit means more time on camera for him and his salon he’ll suck it up and film with her!
I’ll give you 25 Tamara Tattles Tokens if you can show me proof that Phaedra has been an attorney for anyone in the entire time she has been on RHOA. Find me a case ANYWHERE where she has been the atty.
Bon Voyage!

Phaedra was the attorney for Sheree during a hearing with Bob her ex over child support non payment. She was the attorney for Kandi in a lawsuit against Kim Z over money from “Tardy for the Party.” No surprise, Phaedra LOST both cases.
Yes, they were both PRETEND TV SHOW CASES.

But she doesn’t lose anything except weight??!
….which was also a lie.
Over the years we kept hearing that she represented Bobby Brown, but I could have sworn (please don’t quote me) that when Phaedra was on an episode of The Bethanny Show she said that she was a consultant. Bethany brought it up and Phaedra corrected her using the word consultant. Again this was a while ago.
During one of Kathy Griffins stand up specials, she says something about how she instantly recognized Phaedra when she was new on RHOA because she religiously watched Being Bobby Brown, and she remembered her as the attorney who took the stand and said, “your honor, my client BE innocent.”
Phaedra represented Kandi against Kim and filed the paperwork in the wrong jurisdiction. That’s what kind of lawyer she is and that is who she represented while on RHOA.
Kandi did not really use Phaedra in her lawsuit. The suit was filed in another state if I recall correctly.

What about the infamous client she collect cash from his car in the parking lot. I don’t know if he was being brought up on weed charges, gun charges or fallure to appear charges. The science was shot before a magistrate or judge who knew Phaedra personally or so it seemed.
Another scene ON THE SHOW.
On Mon, Dec 15, 2014 at 4:38 PM, Tamara Tattles wrote: > >
No one is asking Kandi to stop loving her mother. We just want her to tell Joyce to shut the hell up! Now, it’s too late to repair the damage. How is Todd supposed to get through this one? God has taken his sweet mother and left the “horrible beast” for him to deal with alone.
Yes. I felt so bad for Todd. You can feel his frustration and Kandi just does not get it. Or care. Miss Sharon called her out for lying to Todd about what her mother said. Kandi refuses to understand that you can love your mother (same as you love your kids) but they still need to be put in their place when they cross a line. I am glad that scene tonight gave Miss Sharon a chance to defend herself against Joyce’s outrageous lies. It is too late to apologize now. But Miss Sharon was justified in her anger. You don’t slander somebody on national TV, then act like they wronged you for calling you a bitch. Miss Sharon seemed very real to me. As she said, she owns her stuff – right or wrong. Joyce does not own her mess and Kandi co-signs it. That is beyond disgusting. Like i said, I feel really bad for Todd. Kandi got all hot and bothered about her mother being disrespected but does not seem to care that Todd and his mother feel the same way about being disrespected. We all love our mothers. And if somebody disrespected my Mother for no reason the way Joyce and Kandi disrespected Miss Sharon, I’d kick her ass to the curb so hard she’d bounce off of it.
Yes!
Why oh why is it that the only person in Kandi’s life that I can stand is DonJuan? I detest Todd. I don’t care too much for his mother. I wondered why she did not sue Mama Joyce. If someone said that I was a prostitute, I would shove a lawsuit so far up their nether regions that they would spit the constitution every time they cough. What is Kandi supposed to do? Todd needed to control his mother and tell her that Kandi is not responsible for what her mother does. All this talk about “consequences” is total nonsense. Mama Joyce is not a child. Todd needs to stop interfering with all of Kandi’s relationships. It looks to me like he is trying to poison all of her relationships. I understand that Todd did not want to defend Mama Joyce, but Kandi is not responsible for what she does or says. This marriage (if it even really is one) is doomed.
Amen! Kandi was basically saying I’ll fight you too if you come for my mother! How disrespectufl. I love that Sharon brought up her aunts too. Can you imagine going to visit your son and his fiance’s mother and aunts sit at a table basically against you. Kandi better wake up because Todd is ok with where he comes from. Kandi forgot her mother was working at a factory 12 hours so oviously she wasn’t born with a silver spoon. Todd must have some form of education that Kandi doesn’t which explains her Todd is more pompous than her statement.
Rhosy, we concur.
Here’s the hypocrisy: Kandi LOSES her mind or just cries [like she did that time on WWHL talking to the Twitterverse] when someone says less about her mom. e.g.: When NeNe sternly said [regarding to her blog, her defense of why she didn’t stand up to Marlo, who was heavy on her heels outisde that baseball diamond], defending her words on how she didn’t wanna act a fool like ‘Mama Joyce’ [her words] in public [yet YOU DO, NeNe…you did with Kim, Cynthia…need we go on?]; she replied to Kandi “I SAID WHAT I SAID!”
Then Kandi in defense of her mom, barking “AND WHAT YOU SAID WAS SOME BULLSHIT!”
So, Kandi, Todd [on camera] is not even being that BOLD with you, how could you not sympathize (on air) with his angusih regarding your mother’s unkind words/names against his mom? No, he doesn’t want you to “cut heer off” as you put it, but he does want you to hold her accountable for her misdeeds. Dismissing his feelings is like dismissing your husband. Girl, you seem far more into him than he is into you, you don’t wanna lose him.
Amen.
Kandi laughing and clown smirking while Sharon was relating what Joyce had said was over the top disrespectful. Why Todd puts up with all of Kandi’s uncaring attitude towards him and his mother and his daughter is beyond belief. Most people respect their k-9 friends more than what Kandi shows Todd in this regard. The sooner Todd wakes up, the better. Hope Todd can grow a set of balls, because this can’t last long. Divorce is coming.
@ captain eel I agree . I’m sure his moms death was his wake up call. It’s coming .
Amen.
Amen, Captain eel!!! You’re darned straight. Kandi’s behavior was utterly attrocious. However, in fairness Todd HAD to have realized that Kandi is an undercover MamaJ at very latest while they filmed their special, abbreviated wedding show, or how Kandi essentially ignored, didn’t as much as offer her regrets to her ‘best friend’ since their childhood (and business assistant), when Joyce went physically after her at the bridal shop, and even threatened her!
Maybe Joyce had something real going on regarding her theory about Todd if he was still interested in marrying her daughter, considering Joyce’s outrageous conduct, AND Kandi’s VERY similar replication even up to their dinner (tonight’s episode). I frankly was shocked that Todd so passively permitted Kandi to twist her lips, roll her eyes, and speak so disrespectfully to his mother. She claimed she understood their POV, and within literal moments dared to challenge Sharon’s very valid POV (which she half heartedly affirmed just moments earlier), and her hurt and offense pursuant to her Joyce’s horrendous conduct, and Kandi’s lie by omission about his deceased dad being Sharon’s pimp.
Maybe Todd did marry to promote himself/his business, and to also learn more from an artist’s viewpoint, since Joyce alone is all that anyone would rationally, fairly and reasonably require to immediately get the hell out of Dodge, faaar away from Kandi and that hateful, psychopathic crone mother of her’s, Joyce, and her first apprentice, Kandi.
( No. The old crone could not possibly die soon enough to justify marriage in light of Kandi’s seeming very faithful reproduction of her mother’s conduct.)
I co-sign
He puts up with it because she has that big fat ass that he likes to screw so much.disgusting!
Dang, it’s proven if they divorce he gets nothing! With that said, who would allow their mother to do the things Kandi allows? Kandi’s mothers boyfriend tore up the house Kandi owns, her mother’s boyfriend is in the new house and he hasn’t married Kandi’s mother. So,. who is reapling the benefits of Kandi’s money? Sounds like Ms. Joyce has a Todd but wants Kandi to focus on Todd so she won’t know her mom’s man is the real thief in the night!
“Laughing and clown smirking”–perfect description.
Kandi has such a bad, ugly attitude about EVERYTHING. Except pizza. She was most stoked about her greasy pizza.
Little Joyce, I mean Kandi couldn’t have been ruder to poor Sharon. Why cant she see that her mom dissed, and tried to ruin the reputations of Todd’s mom and dad? Would she want her mom to “just get over it” if the same had been said about her? Hells no!
Kandi should have told her mom “NO house for you until you apologize to Sharon and Todd and mean it!”. I swear every week I see more and more to dislike about Kandi, and see more and more of her mom in her. Run Todd, Run! Rest In Peace dear Sharon…
What do you expect her to do about it? Kandi does not control her mother. What Todd want is for Kandi shut her mother out. And Todd’s mother is no angel. Did you not catch the part where she stated she has never been a prostitute – she has done OTHER things – just not that. Todd and Kandi need to make their familial relationships off limits to each other.
Well what I would expect Kandi to do about it is be respectful to her husband and her mother in law and acknowledge that her mother caused them pain and embarrassment. I would expect her to be kind let her know that she did try to get her mother to apologize but she is an old woman who is set in her ways. I would expect Kandi to also be embarrassed by her mother’s behavior and not continue to sort of apologize and then justify it.

Kandi cant control her mother, but she CAN control what repercussions she hands out to Joyce. She should have told her to play nice with her loved ones, or she couldn’t come around them. She shouldn’t have rewarded her with another house. She let Joyce do the same to R.J., and love or hate him, it was Kandi’s business not Joyce’s.
I feel Joyce was hoping for the same outcome for Todd, and instead it happened to Sharon. Kandi is a grown ass woman who lets her mama trash and harass her friends and lovers, and that aint right! And I’ll bet Todd will have major trouble with Riley because of Joyce brainwashing her. We cant control how our parents act towards others, but we can control how we react to them. And I wouldn’t reward bad behavior.
Yea I started to dislike her after she took the master bedroom on nene trip. I started to see the narcissism rite then
God, Breelee, you seriously verbalized EXACTLY what I’ve been thinking. To a tee.
Karen:
-When has Todd said he wants Kandi to shut Mama Joyce out? I remember him specifically saying he DID NOT want Kandi to do so.
-WTF? She’s “done other things” must mean Sharon is as scandalous as Mama Joyce completely lied and said she was. I mean, you gotta be kidding me. I think most normal people would interpret that to mean that Sharon acknowledges she’s not perfect (certainly doesn’t imply anything disgraceful unless you’re looking for it).
TT can take it from here (describing how to interact with others in a civil manner.) Sigh…
The show seems really boring as of now, maybe it has something to do with them making demetria a friend of the wives at the last minute. The scenes seem rushed and out of order.

My heart goes out to Miss Sharon. SOMEONE should have told her “consider the source” of the outrageous lies the witch told about her. Now I see it bothered her TERRIBLY, and PROBABLY led to her blood pressure shooting up, which led to a STROKE. People, if an idiot lies about you, just consider the source, and turn the situation over to GOD, who, in the Bible it says, “Cast you cares on him, for her cares for you AND “Vengence is MINE sayeth the LORD, I WILL repay.
@ Jennifer. You’re right about that . But it’s easier said than done
And of course Peter has a problem with Cynthia and NeNe trying to move forward!
Pause and realize the fact that Cynthia let her relationship with Nene damage her marriage with Peter…who the hell does that? And why does LESS Nene mean MORE sex for Peter and Cynthia? What is going on in Cynthia’s head?? If I were Peter I would want Nene gone too. Cynthia is turning in circles trying to figure out who to follow. First time ever I’m getting really annoyed with Cynthia.
Exactly, what woman would let a friendship come between her and her husband? I don’t think it did. But if it did what would that say about Cynthia? It’s more about messing up Peter’s plans for Cynthia and there for his plans for himself.

I’m so tired of Nene. Another one of her rants where she never has one iota of responsibility for anything that happens that involves her looking in a bad light. I’m right there will other posters about not being into this. I’m asking myself, what am I tuning to see? I guess I want to see more of the new girls and Kenya but is it worth it. Kandi is self-centered. She’s just like Nene who never owns anything, just accepts whatever her mother does just because she’s her mother. Whatever, said in Kandi’s don’t give a damn voice.
I’ve been waiting to see/hear how Bravo handles Sharon’s death & would there be any sort of public mention of her passing from the bitch on wheels.No matter what Joyce said..Kandi’s ‘My
Mama…’ remark would be predictable! I know that Kandi doesn’t love Joyce a bit more than I loved my mom & these stupid comments that Kandi continues to make just sicken me! There is NO excuse for Joyce’s trashy behavior. Scripted or not..they couldn’t pay me enough to tolerate her bs & Kandi’s ‘But she’s my mama” whine. I prayed for Todd to run like hell before the wedding & I wonder now how he feels about Kandi’s ‘…but she’s my mama…’ bs now that she can never make it right with Sharon…or Todd..for that matter.
So correct!
Kenya slayed me in that red dress with the long split which she wore to the fashion show. She should wear red more often because it looks good on her. I believe she was probably filming CA at the time, and stopped in long enough to fulfill her RHOA contract. I died when the young lady from BET spoke to Todd and acted as if Kandi was invisible. The Tuckers should have taken a trip to the Bronx long before they were married, but the dicktamization blinded them both to the things one should know about a spouse. I LOVED Kandi’s conversation with Ms. Sharon (R.I.P.). Ms. Sharon was very direct about the LIE Kandi told Todd regarding her, and not drunk as Kandi tried to imply in her talking head. She laid out all of her points very well while Kandi deflected all of her concerns. Ms. Sharon is RIGHT to sue Joyce for publicly lying and slandering her name as well as Todd’s deceased father. Ms. Sharon gave me life because I felt the same way she did, whereas Mama Joyce needed to publicly apologize and take the lies back or defend a lawsuit for slander. Mama Joyce would have to produce her imaginary people in the streets and her muscle, Aunt Bertha from the old lady gang as her witnesses for the defense. I am sad Ms. sharon is gone, but I am very happy she kept it real even at the end.
Not to be disrespectful but Sharon was slurring her words I thought she was drunk also.
I THOUGHT THE EXACT SAME THING ABOUT JOYCE. I loved Kandi her first few seasons – that bitch is hardly even recognizable now.
And I never noticed it before, but it looks like one of Kenya’s opening credit scenes was her Sheen shoot so I’m looking forward to watching that.
Ugh. I just saw Todd ‘ call with Joyce Jr., errr … Kandi, his bride, albatross, and future ex, AND I likED Kandi, even her spin-off Kandi Factory competition shows, probably even defended her here until her special Bridal miniseries, in which I heard her get cut throat with/about her supposed best friend/assistant, where she showed us her crazy eyes for the first time and ever since, which flashed “Back off, or this bitch will cut your ass” and deep) at Todd, and she even dared to eye Momma Sharon the same way, just like mother (MJ) herself’, or “Whachew talkn bout, Willis (used to play stupid when she knows damn well)? If my wife dared to twist her lips and pop and roll her eyes at my mother, there would be living hell to pay. Just because Joyce is too ghetto to admit what she said was too ghetto to admit, and in many cases is just downright inexcusable by any standard, if Kandi had one ounce of class, empathy and respect of Todd and Sharon, the only words that Kandi should have said, REPEATEDLY if necessary, is words to the affect:
“I’m so sorry for what my mamma said, momma Sharon. I’ve spoken with her on several occaisions about it, even argued with her, but after all was said and done, I must tell you that I learned that when some people, my mother among them, go ghetto, them COMING BACK from ghetto is just a figment of their imagination. Again, I include my mother as one among them. I was humiliated to not only realize that about my mother, I was ashamed to even admit it to myself. BUT, I am ashamed AND humiliated to speak it to you and Todd, two people in this world that I love and respect very much, but that is the ugly truth about her and her ugly, ghetto behavior. I tried, but she won’t be moved.
Is there ANYTHING, reasonably within our realm, that we might do to somehow help you and Todd to put this aside, move on from it as the bigger, better parties, to bury it, and forever after leave it alone? I appreciate that your deep offense is totally legit, though I sense that the pain she caused, particularly to you and Todd, probably is deeper. Might it help to put it away for ever after, if you came to live with us in our home in ATL, or would you consider coming to ATL to live, if I bought you a flat of your own near us (or just a little far if you want), where you could at least Winter with us in ATL?”
If there was any doubt about Kandi being an undercover Momma Joyce, her conduct tonight sitting across the table from her mother – in – law and next to her husband proved that she is more like Joyce than Kandi when the pressure comes on.
TT, you’re right about Naynay’s nose. It’s changing. Is it because she cannot retain a make-up artist to contour it from looking like Bullwinkle’s sister’s nose to her contour job, or is there a problem due to problematic healing or infection?
I also believe, as Peter said, that Naynay won’t offer sufficient “respeck” to Cyndi or Peter to support recovery of their friendship. It’s gonna boil down to insufficient “respeck”. “R-e-s-p-e-c-k, find out what it …. WTF?! Arethra must have a spelling probolem or sumthin” (Peter)
That would have been a beautiful, classy, and very necessary thing for Kandi to say. (I may need you to word an apology or two for me in the future..!)
In a true Union the wife would feel just as insulted as Todd and Sharon because if you insult my husband and MIL you insult me too. But Kandis attitude is “it’s not about me so I’m not getting involved. She could easily say “mom I love you but you are not welcomed in our home until you show us (yes us) the respect w deserve” and she would have at least lived in that first house until she fixed it.
Kandis wedding series made it clear to me how selfish stubborn she was. I do think some part of her believed that Todd was an opportunist or else she would have at least discussed the prenup with Todd before drawing it up.
I think Todd is an opportunist, but then so is Kandi.
Thanks for the recap… However, hard to watch Ms. Sharon!!!
Have you ever noticed that Nene talks just like Fantasia? Something about their lower teeth and jaws are just alike when they speak.
Can’t believe how ridiculous Kandi was acting toward Todd and his mother!!! Disgustingly heartless!! That poor woman. I’ve really started to change my tune about Kandi. I believe her true colors started with the trip to Charleston when she took the master bedroom from Nene. That was such an immature brat move!!!! My bet is their marriage will last around 2 years before they make an announcement of separation.
Apollo sure is nice to look at but damn, that boy has no insight or common fucking sense! He took a bad situation and made it a hundred times worse afterward. Its my bet he lied his ass off to Phaedra for a long long time after she asked him over and over again, and she ended up finding out the truth. Because of his betrayal, it would be hard for me to be all lovey dovey with my husband too.
The exact moment I started to dislike kandi as well. Total narcissist
Just enough for Todd to make the connections he need to get himself on his feet , Todd gives me the impression that he may want more children,but just not with Kandi. Their idea of raising children differ Todd is more learn responsibility, and Kandi is more give, give, pacify, give I don’t see more children in their life, and if it happens I would be very surprised.
I agree that Todd is there mainly to increase his connections and to get a career in entertainment for his daughter. but I believe Kandi is aware that’s why she’s not too bothered.
Yea funny how there are nothing but white people In the picture frames of Phaedras ‘office’
Bwahahahaha!
Goodness the TEA in this blog was sizzling hot tonight. Too much to digest in one sitting! Sorry for Demetria because I have liked her in other roles she’s played but I guess next week we will see how this plays out.
So who exactly are the regulars on RHOA now and who are the FOH’s? Porsha has been on every episode so far. Here’s hoping that Todd and Kandi make everything work and that Phaedra is able to talk to her little guys and get through all this stuff going on in her life also. Wishing them all well with playing out a part of your life in TV.

The scene supposedly in Phaedra’s office was poorly staged to hide that it belongs to someone else. The client chairs were in the wrong place, at the side arm of the desk. She did not sit where you normally do at the large side with overhang. Clients can pull up to it to read and sign papers. They moved the chairs around so the law degrees on the wall and pictures on the credenza were not forward to the camera. This is so we could less likely zoom in and see nothing belongs to Phaedra.
Kandy and Joyce are two of a kind and probably cultivating the next one by most appearances.
Can Kandi be more unlikable this season?
Was she ever likeable?
I think she was! Up until mid-last season I thought she was cool. Mama Joyce will be her undoing.
Yeah I liked her until the whole Mama Joyce-Todd storyline from last season. Maybe it’s the editing?
I really liked her for at least the first few seasons. Now she is an unbearable, negative, whiney, and heartless blob.
Oh, she’s greedy as hell, too.
i was just hoping they would edit out storylines about sharon and joyce…it seems kind of disrespectful now, right? although i guess russel was in the season of rhbh that aired after he killed himself, so i don’t know what i expected.
First off hated that purple/ blue whatever color it was eyeshadow from the eyelid all the way up to the eyebrow that Cynthia was wearing also her hair at the fashion show made her look old although the hair was the styling of the designer so not her choice but anyway I’ve seen her look so much better her styling is usually spit on so she gets a pass that being said if this designer was a friend why was he bashing her weight and age in the segment I’m sure since he’s up and coming this was a come up to have a model like Cynthia with the tv exposure she has represent his brand. I don’t think Cynthia has really gotten this new set of balls everyone thinks she has cause I would have told the guy to find someone else to walk on his show cause I feel like she was doing him a huge favour seems like Cynthia doesn’t have any friends who treat her with the respect she deserves. And I hate to even get started on peter. He is such a controlling douchebag. I would’ve been pissed if someone had called my husband a bitch and would’ve ended our friendship that day and I get that Peter is still upset about it but if Cynthia wanted to end the fighting and move past it it should be her decision another instance of her not standing up for herself. She should have told peter to shut his pie hole if he wanted more sex try acting nice and if he wanted more time with his wife don’t open up a bar in another state.
I’ve said this before but I’ll just say it again. I feel for Phaedra regarding the decision for how to handle Apollos incarceration with their children. One of my best friends is a child psychologist who specifically specializes in children of incarcerated parents and has developed many successful programs for these children. He has always said in the great majority of cases it is important to explain the truth to the children, explain the ethical violations, provide them with individual and peer counciling and to take them to see the incarcerated parent in jail. He says often times the loss of the relationship is what is most traumatizing for children. I hope Phaedra has consulted a specialist and created a plan for her sons.
Very interesting.
And here we have another RHOA episode watching Kandi drop bombs then stand back & act surprised when they detonate.
This grown ass woman has NO clue how to keep her mouth shut. She just LOVES to instigate. 99% of the things we hear Joyce said, we don’t hear from Joyce herself → we hear from Kandi (and then she has the balls to tell the person what her mamma said about them & she thinks it’s funny)!
That came directly out Ms Joyce mouth last season. Ms Joyce said it everyone else accept Ms Sharon.. Then Ms Sharon confronted Ms Joyce last season it was something else. However, Ms Joyce said ,and since we all know she is lying she should fix it and tell the truth, and correct it…..
Huh?! ⊙_☉
Kandi is always going to defend her mother and there is nothing wrong with that. She is not going to disrespect her. She has told her at times that she was wrong about certain issues. But for people to think that she is suppose to be some sort of abusive daughter, she is not going to do that. Honor thy mother and father…..
Honor does not mean to allow them to disrespect your husban ( forsake all others)
I agree – people seem to want Kandi to cuss out her own mother over a guy who is not going to be around in 5 years or less. Joyce was over the top and Kandi has told her so. I can see where Kandi was in a tough position sitting there listening to someone else trash talk your mother. Joyce was wrong but Sharon also was wrong in the way she handled the situation. Sharon should have vented her anger to Todd because what did she expect Kandi to say – yeah Sharon you are the queen and my mother is the worst person on the planet. I think most people feel that they can trash talk their own family but get insulted when others do.
Sharon was attacking Joyce through Kandi. Her feelings should have been directed to Joyce, not Kandi. Joyce can handle herself. But for Sharon or anyone else to throw threats and evil remarks about a person’s mother and expect them cow down is ridiculous. No child is going to sit back and go along with someone attacking their mother, verbally or otherwise. I guess people think Kim Z was and is right with the way she treated her mother at her wedding
Yes people do think that.
Mom is that you?
I am so tired of people criticizing Cynthia for pulling the Peter/Nene issue out of thin air. From everything I have seen, Nene creates toxic situations with her friends. I don’t understand how anyone could say otherwise. Nene, on more than one occasion, disrespected and hurt Cynthia last year. She criticized her parenting, she criticized her marriage, and she verbally attacked her husband. Moreover, when Kenya first joined the show and “came for” Cynthia, Nene made it quite clear that she was her own person, and just because Cynthia and Kenya had issues didn’t mean this should impact her relationship with Kenya. Nene is completely incapable of accepting fault, acknowledging her own shortcomings, and quite frankly, apologizing. That Nene should feel as though she were deeply wounded by Cynthia, when the woman spent an entire interview trying to cause Cynthia to lose her JOB is appalling. If you have a toxic relationship with a friend, it is not your responsibility to justify your rationale for letting the friendship go, only to have fault twisted around to be applied to you instead. If you are friends with someone like Nene, you know damn well that her assertions that “Cynthia just needed to come to her to voice her concerns” are absolute BS. Nene may be entertaining but are we really that incapable of recognizing a toxic person when we see one?
Is Peter a little bossy for my taste? Absolutely. Do I find myself aggravated by Peter from time to time? Sure. But Cynthia and I have extremely different personalities and what works for one person in a marriage won’t necessary work for another. Regardless, we should not be placing the Nene/Greg relationship on any sort of a pedestal. I have never seen a marriage that was more void of balance. Greg appears terrified of losing his access to a joint checking account – not Nene.
I give Todd and Kandi another 8 months tops. And yes, I realize I am now starting to talk about these crazy ladies like I actually know them. Whatever. I’ll own it.
I just loved the footage of Peter & Leon when Cynthia was walking. They were so proud & I was just so impressed with how well they got along & supported Cynthia. She’s definitely my all time favorite. I don’t watch these shows for the drama, I watch for the day to day interactions of the women. Cynthia is the only interesting one with real things going on. I’m annoyed with Kandi being a grown woman & not taking any normal things into consideration before getting married. Phaedra does look better in some of these episodes but she’s still a ridiculous person. I love Kenya, she’s just a good spirited, confident person and that spills over into her friendships. I love how she supports all her friends endeavors & never acts jealous or rolls her eye.
Right there with you!
I usually never comment but “Phaedra says to Kandi, “Maybe we should let them have a moment.” Which we know really means, “Hey, let’s try to go get a drink before this bar shuts all the way down. I need a chicken wang or somethin’.” CTFU Tamara this had me at my desk crying. Poor Phaedra it just makes me think about that workout video lol
Kandi’s behavior Is atrocious. She will never accept the horrific behavior of Mama Joyce. Their whole family needs therapy STAT! I stopped liking her with her wedding show. She doesn’t support or have any empathy for Todd or Sharon. How does NeNe affect Cynthia and peter’s see life? Kenya looked fab in that red dress! Her photo shoot session is In her intro. Phaedra is so fake as is that ugly junky office. I must have missed this Demetrius woman.
Really, Phaedra? This is what your legal career has come to. I thought she was some sort of power player… okay, I never believed that!
I thought the scene with Miss Sharon was extremely distasteful and tacky. They could have edited it down somewhat. For Christ’s sake, the lady just died two weeks ago. The whole scene made me sad. Does Bravo or Andy have any morality or compassion. If it were Bethany’s mother, I’d bet 100 grand Andy/Bravo would have been a lot more tactful with the editing if they even showed it at all.
I found myself chuckling when Nene left the table…..No one followed her to see if she was ok. No one.
And when she realized no one was coming to her aid…she used what few acting skills she has…and pushed out a tear or two. Couldn’t keep it going, though.
