Bravotv.com: What were your thoughts about the ladies’ big sit down to hash out their issues?
Claudia Jordan: I was really looking forward to a real resolve, and it seemed like that might happen when we saw (what I thought was) real emotion from both of the ladies. But sadly, once we heard the comments in the confessionals, we saw that only one of the ladies was truly being honest.
I for sure thought when I saw NeNe leak some salty liquid from her tear ducts that she was in fact meaning what she was saying, but to so easily flip the script and throw that shade in her interview, well it was disappointing to say the least.
One thing I love about Cynthia is that no matter what, she is always down to at least give someone a second chance. Some people may choose to call that weak, but I don’t. I think it’s easier to write someone off than it is to be open to them again once they have hurt you. Personally to me that takes real strength.
I tend to hold a grudge once someone shows me their true colors, and I am great at closing the door and never looking back. So to me it was impressive that Cynthia was even open to once again trying to patch things up with NeNe. At the end of the day both ladies made a choice — Cynthia made a choice to at least try one more time, and NeNe chose to act like she wanted to be friends again only to turn around and take it all back in her confessional. I wish I could say I am surprised, but sadly I’m not.
I thought that was quite mean. Why not say that you were not interested in being friends when Cynthia was in your face? Why bother with the theatrics of crying only to later on basically say you didn’t really mean it? Shady, shady, shady! If you’re really about that life, say it to her face NeNe! Don’t turn up in the confessionals and boo hoo in person! Where they do that at?
I have to confess…I watched my first episode of this season a few days ago because I was trying to be done with this particular vein of HW. I really enjoyed watching Kenya and Claudia together, though, and they may have roped me back in especially if they get Cynthia in the mix. Also, does Cynthia have fake boobs? They look odd in that picture.
I was thinking the same thing, not a good look.
Ok, please tell me that I am not the only one who thinks Cynthia is WAY out of Nene’s “league.” I mean, if they were in a romantic relationship, I’d wonder if a.) Nene had a WHOLE lot of money to spend on Cynthia (which clearly she doesn’t) or b.) she had a huge [email protected] (which I considered a possibility until her laughable performance in the Vegas Cirque)… anyway… Cynthia seems like a genuinely nice person…and Nene???? Nene seems like she’d have a hard time SPELLING *genuinely* without spell check’s squiggly lines!
Cynthia might like to think she can open up a can of whoop ass on nene, but she is no match for the Devil’s insincere daughter. Her whole at the end of the day (everyone on Bravo, ad nauseum), don’t come for me or I’ll come for you (Kenya), what’s for me is for me (nene), routine is bogus because that’s not who she really is and she will never be a match for someone who has no soul and nothing to lose. All she has to do is add “ride or die” and it’s like we’re reading quotes out of the Bravo Handbook of Cliches.
I can always count on at least one good laugh when I come here. And yes, I agree. Cynthia is way out of Nene’s league. No question about it which makes it odd for her to seem so desperate to remain friends with her. It should be the other way around.
NeNe is a bully. She has bullied her way around RHOA for quite some time. Most of us have experienced a friend that has been a little ‘rough around the edges’ and Cynthia actually rolled with it for quite some time, until NeNe embarrassed her husband in front of a national TV audience and people called her out on it.
I saw NeNe put on that poor performance of acting like she wanted to be friends again, only to flip-flop once the camera’s stopped rolling. I watched her earlier today on the Kelly & Michael morning show discuss how she and Cynthia will NEVER be friends, but remain ‘cordial’ to her only.
Cynthia…stop acting like a kid who’s making up with her boyfriend…your husband Peter picked up on it and it made you look desperate and needy. If I were you, I would never give her another opportunity to publicly humiliate you again. Move on!
Oh I CAN’T WAIT for Claudia to take Nene down a few notches…
Fighting fire with fire. Yeah buddy. I have no doubt that Claudia can “go there” when she has too. Full alarm.
Aren’t their talking heads filmed after they finish taping the season? That would be the only reason why Nene flipped on her relationship with Cynthia.
I’m still not sure how I feel about Claudia, I’ll save my opinion after I see more of her. She’s really pretty!
They film talking heads throughout the season. And in post production…
Manipulative fake people do that crap. She’s an actress, and she’s well aware what people think of her. She’s an asshole. She might as well not have cried her alligator tears. She looks like an even Bigger asshole now. I NOW understand the disdain people had for her. I too, give people chances and try not to harbour I’ll feelings, as it only makes you sick in the end. It takes too much energy to be mad n to hold onto a grudge. I would rather just say your forgiven and move forward. I won’t forget it, and will be extra careful not to let them close enough to hurt me again.
At the end of the day, a Bravolebrity is unable to avoid using the phrase ‘at the end of the day’. At some point this ‘day’ hopefully will end and they all can stop referring to it.
YESSSSSSSS!
Wouldn’t the confessional have been filmed months after filming? So is it possible that something happened between then and now? Not sure how shortly after the scene the confessionals are filmed. Perhaps Tamara can shed some insight. 🙂
Per TT, they film talking heads throughout the season and in post production
I LOVE Claudia.
I was surprised at Nene’s behavior, however, I shouldn’t have been. After all, that’s her modus operandi. She shows her true colors during the talking heads.
Always thought that those tears were more about missing how Cynthia placating her vs missing a sincere friendship. NeNe doesn’t know how to do that. She rules her husband and apparently her friends; i.e. Diana. And she deems you weak if you don’t rule your husband too. However NeNe handles her friends is an extension of how she handles Gregg. And as a buddy if you resist that, oh “You’re not being a good friend” in her eyes. Ridiculous! Connections like that are exhausting! And you’re not even getting paid for that exhaustion, either? Oh, wait, Bravo does pay Bailey a stipend, but how much is your dignity worth? No!
‘Curious about the time lapse between that teary-eyed sitting in that restaurant and when NeNe did that confessional, too? What transpired between those times that changed her mind so dramatically?
Almost a “you did me wrong” speech she gave to Greg.
WTF?
Claudia hit the nail on the head. “Conquering” someone by yelling at them…is abusive. I have ptsd from my alcoholic son’s rants.
It was a moment. Peter nailed it, too.
Sick.
Georgia has huge tax breaks for the entertainment industry. It’s cheap to film here.
@TT~ Especially now that my state has basically done away with them….Homeland packed up and left. Lots of others have left too.
I have to confess that this season, pretty much whenever Nene and Cynthia are together, I skip over it.
Georgia has huge tax breaks for the entertainment industry. It’s cheap to film here.
Damnn Georgia is really that cheap !! I may have to leave jersey and move down there ! Thanks for the reply Tamara
Newly… And GA has HIGH state income tax to compensate. I pay about the same amount I did in MD.
I never thought about our income tax being high. But I do always end up OWING the state at the end of each year somehow.
All Cynthia has ever said was that she wanted Nene to treat her with more respect. Nene, after hearing this, has tried to get Cynthia fired, trashes her every chance she gets, and then at that dinner screamed/cursed at Cynthia for like an hour without letting her get a word in. Also Nene has had a falling out with all her bffs on the show: Dwight, Kim, Marlo, and now Cynthia. Nene’s an asshole, team Cynthia.
I love Cynthia…I felt nene was acting for the cameras…with Cynthia and in her confessional..I hate nene. #hate’s a strong word..maybe #intenselydislike
I thought at the time that Naynay walked away for a moment, she did so to glycerin her eyes to either complain about how badly Cynthia hurt her, or for a tearful reconciliation moment with Cynthia. Bottom line: NAYNAY IS ABOUT NAYNAY FOR NAYNAY.
Denetria is doing interviews saying she’s only cool with Claudia and Cynthia and doesn’t get along with Kenya but in another interview she says she gets along and is cool with all 3. I’m totally confused
âDemetria being a bitch to Kenya was part of why she lost her peach. Cynthia, Kenya and Claudia all hit it off. Porsha’s time is fading away. Nene does her own thing. Phaedra is busy with Apollo so D had to suck it up with Kenya if she wanted face time.
