On tonight’s Real Housewives of Atlanta , we begin back at the scene of the read heard ’round the world . Claudia Jordan begins by reading Nene Leakes for filth and later calls out Porsha Williams escorting service for Nigerians!
Claudia: You’re worried about my clit and my bankruptcy and my finances, like why are you worried?
Nene: No hunni …
Claudia: You should worry about what you got going on, that great clothing line.
Nene: You wanna do what I do.
Claudia: I don’t want to glue hair to my forehead, I don’t wanna be a former stripper, that’s carless…
BOOM!
Nene: I can glue hair to my forehead, girl I got all kinda cars right now, I don’t care what was repossessed, you just check my crib bitch, and see the cars in my garage when you lift the goddamn garage up! Don’t tell me what’s has been tell me what’s NOW! You wish you could get this check I get from them clothing lines! Then you could loan you some fashions because that is some cheap shit.
Claudia: And your dress is….
Nene: This off the runway.
Claudia: They don’t make your size for the runway
GASP!
Nene: You better pull this zipper down and see…the make ’em when you got the coins.
Claudia: You overpaid. You can get that at Ross.
Nene: I know you don’t know what come down the runway considering what you got on spaghetti straps.
Claudia: Yeah, because I’ve never walked down a runway….you should have a little less spaghetti in your diet.
Nene: Girl, bye! Hollywood ain’t looking for you.
Claudia: Atlanta is and I think that’s why you’re so bothered.
BLOOP!
Nene: Me bothered by you?
Claudia: I didn’t know you were into Google searching me.
Nene: You wish I would Google you with a bob.
Claudia: What’s wrong with a bob?
Nene: Nothing
Claudia: It’s better than a hair hat…
Nene: Girl? Bye, Girl.
Claudia: Bye. Are you leaving?
Nene: Listen to your boss. You weak hunni.
KANDI’s TALKING HEAD: Honestly, I think that Claudia has said EVERYTHING that anyone has ever thought about saying to Nene.
Team Pretty Heads Off For Drinks
Kenya says “I’m done with this, let’s just go have drinks somewhere else” and Team Beauty exits leaving Kandi behind with Team Beast. You know Kandi wanted to leave with them. Kandi compliments Cynthia on her dress and Nene says “Girl, she look like a damn old lady.”
Kenya apologizes to Demetria for the behavior of Team Beast. Claudia apologizes for getting into the gutter with Nene at her dinner. In Kenya’s talking head she says, “You can put lipstick on a pig, but it is still a beast.” Claudia says this is not the first time she has heard or read those sorts of things about her. She says she has been talked about since she was 17 years old. Claudia says that clearly Nene has been checking on her on the Internet. Team Beauty sashays down the sidewalk to find a quiet place to have a drink and a kiki.
Nene seems too drunk to make sense. The beasts plus Kandi just continue to be loud drunken fools. Nene hasn’t stopped talking about Claudia from the point of this conversation until today. Everybody knows she was read right into the ground and she just can’t get over it. Then, Nene talks about how Phaedra was shady to Demetria. Team Beast continues to act like loud fools on camera. The high fiving and bouncing up and down on their chairs like they are having reverse cowgirl sex was horrifying.
Morning Has Broken
Nene. in her talking head, sitting in her Dutch boy wig, mocking Claudia’s hair is the funniest thing ever!
The next day, Nene claims that she feels bad for the comments she made to Claudia. Now, that is a first. I love Claudia! She’s having a breakfast cocktail. When I was in St. Lucia, I would have a giant banana daiquiri for breakfast. Don’t judge. Banana is a breakfast food! They made them with whole bananas! Kandi comes out to join Team Beast. Phaedra thinks that Demetria was just too sensitive and doesn’t get her sense of humor. Because, sociopath. Phaedra was up talking to someone until 4am. Mr. Chocolate perhaps?
Team Pretty and Team Beast Separate For The Day
Team Beast goes to Cartier. That’s like eating at McDonald’s in Paris. So stupid. Kandi informs us she going to have another Bedroom Kandi party because the first one got ruined. Please God. Make these women stop playing with dildos in public.
Team Beauty goes to a local bar with lots of flavor for Pina Coladas. Apparently, this bar is where Pina Coladas were first created. The girls laugh and drink and have fun.
Kandi’s Party
Later that evening, Demetria shows up at Phaedra’s door. She tries to clear the air. She apologizes for the Apollo comment. Phaedra does not apologize to Demetria. Phaedra still appears to be medicated.
At Kandi’s party, everyone has on pretty resort wear except for Portia. I am not sure if she is in a swim suit,or lingerie or what, but she may as well be naked. Kandi asked Porsha about her john boyfriend she claims she is getting tired of him. More like passed around. Kandi just loves playing pass the dildo with your knees. I can’t with these women.
The next day, Team Beast goes to the beach.
Water Sports Anyone? Not THAT Kind, Kandi!
Kenya and Cynthia ad Claudia go to a pool. Both groups have fun together. I say fire Team Beast entirely and keep the four ladies on Team Pretty. I’ve always said they have too many women on these shows. If there were fewer ladies we could get to know them better. And there would still be plenty of drama. Kenya and Claudia troll for Puerto Rican peen. I don’t usually like to travel with other people, but I think I could hang with Kenya and Claudia. Kenya and Claudia are getting in the pool, getting their real hair wet and having a blast. Team Beast clomped down the beach avoiding the ocean at all costs. Phaedra actually ASKED to have her picture taken in that fishnet monstrosity. WTF?
Akoolaids?
On the bus Nene tries to sort of apologize to Claudia. Nene says that lots of people talk about her shows getting cancelled but when one door closes, another door opens. She tells them she is giving them all two tickets to come see her in Cinderella. Cynthia says she always wants to support successful black women. Claudia says she recognizes Nene’s accomplishments. She then points out that Nene needs to recognizes other people’s accolades as well.
Nene says absolutely. Nene says to Claudia she would never try to snatch any of her “Akoolaids” from her. Claudia says, “But you did.” Claudia says that she did not start with Nene, but she will finish it. Claudia says, “I am far from a whore.” Nene apologizes. Kandi and Cynthia are shocked. Nene has never apologized to either of them.
Porsha Williams Escorting Is Exposed
Porsha opens her big mouth and Claudia says she did not appreciate Porsha laughing like the fool that she is when Nene called her a whore. It’s a double standard considering Claudia knows that the guy that got Porsha the car is an old married African man. Then they pop a blog up on the screen about Porsha’s married john who bought her the car.
Nene apologizes AGAIN to Claudia for calling her a whore. Nene says she doesn’t glue hair to her forehead. Claudia says she doesn’t know how Nene attaches that shit to her head. Claudia just won’t quit while she is ahead. Kenya jumps in and says that the issue that Claudia is having. Kenya asks Nene if she knows that Porsha gets her merchandise from whoring with an African man? Porsha tries to threaten a slander suit. LOLOLOLOL God Porsha is dumb. Cynthia says, You know you know about that African man, Nene!” Porsha is bent that her whoring ways were discussed on camera.
YOU HAD ONE JOB!
The girls are 20 minutes late to Demetria’s 30 minute performance. These bitches had ONE JOB. One place to be that was the point of the whole Puerto Rico trip! They know they are late and are just moseying in to the club without a care in the world. Demetria is the first housewife (other than Kandi) that can actually sing. Wow Da Brat was there! By the way, Nene wore daisy dukes to the concert with her white rayon Nene Leakes duster.
Next Week: Todd goes in for a sperm count. Cynthia burns her friendship contract with Nene and some of the ladies go to Charlotte for Sport One’s opening and Claudia and Kordell exchange digits. 🙂
Nene is very college educated but cant pronounce accolades. Porsha was atleast smart enough to realize she couldnt jump that hurdle and switched in the middle of the word.
Porsha girlif you are allegedly whoring for dollars and your friends know about it, why dont they have your bavk ans help you deny deny deny. Thats what real good friends do.these women just sit thwre and let you hang.
“You’re such a contradictory!” Bwahaha. I die.
Tamara you forgot about that part !!!! Lolllll I diedddddd
Priceless, yeah, “You’re such a contradictory!”. I laughed out. ( for much too long )
Why hasn’t any of Porsha’s friend directed her to the , Word of the day app? Claudia said..Really? Contradictory?…silence from the peanut gallery.. no support ..no life line..just silence.
teecee66: LOL!!! Were you just yearning for Claudia to ask Porsha to “spell it!” Kenya asked her to at that last reunion. A lot of people think Porsha LOST IT when Kenya called her a “dumb hoe,” we think she LOST IT when Kenya challenged her to spell a word. LOL…
But lets not forget Nene and her suggestion of “prosthetic surgery”. Omg. So big. So dumb.
LOL I’m glad you caught that!
“Acco…whu?….accomplishments”
Not only can’t pronounce “accolades”, but uses it wrong well over 50% of the time.
Porsha… you guys said enough for me. Where are your friends, Porsha? She doesn’t get it.
That was a good episode. I just can’t believe how hypocritical the beasts are. Rag on others for wigs, whoring, being poor without taking a second look at your own track record or the history/current standings of those you support? And Phaedra standing there bragging about her 100k outfit when the money came from stealing retiree pensions and stealing from insurance companies? Just trash people. Scum.
TRUTH! love it!
LOL!!! if that outfit cost 100,000.00 she better go back and get a refund for 90,999.00. It looked like it came straight from the racks of K-Mart.
I kinda took that whole counting off how much everything cost as shade at NeNe about the “runway clothing” thing from dinner.
That scene convinced me she was on something. And saying it to Demetria? Whether or not she’s really Roger Bobb’s girl, he’s probably given her things way nicer than Porsha’s “$100,000” outfit. Demetria just doesn’t need to do that weird outfit dance/accounting thing. It’s called “class”.
You caught that weirdness too?? Something is wrong with Phaedra. She is more affected than ever. And too think I use to really like Phaedra because I thought she had a lot of restraint and chill. But now that she’s become so bitter and evil I don’t recognize her or I’m just beginning to really see her. I wonder if Phaedra really physically attacked Kenya….Phaedra has become ugly.
Yes! Who asked her how much how outfit cost? True class-acts don’t mention those things, especially un-asked. Demetria, if you are reading this, there’s a certain sweetness about you that’s organic. For you to take the initiative to apologize like that? You won me over! Phaedra STARTED the b.s. with you, not the other way around, yet you were the first to apologize and she didn’t? Phaedra is no “sothern belle,” no class! Didn’t like that “Ana-Mae” mention, either! You don’t want Ms. Tina Turner’s next chant to the Gohonzon to be about you, Parks! Projecting your pain on others, and Demetria of all people? What has she ever done to you? Being younger, more talented and sweeter is not a crime against you or anyone.
Tamara if it makes you feel any better, when I was on vacation in Puerto Rico, my breakfast was Pina Colada (along with Mallorcas on the beach) and come to think of it so was lunch and probably dinner too… so no judgements here :-).
For the record forehead glue or not, I maintain Nene’s Raggedy Ann wigs are rejects from some defunct Clown College, each one of them should be named after a famous retired clown. I died at “Akoolaids” now my stomach hurts again! I could be very late and no shade is meant but I really thought Da Brat was in jail?
Da Brat was released in 2011 after a three-year stay.
While I was in Puerto Rico I went to Cartier too, what is wrong with that :)? Full disclosure: I’m a male jewelry-whore, so I never pass jewelry shop without stopping in so there is that. Cartier was next to Louis Vuitton if I recall LOL, and that was my real destination. I dragged my husband there kicking and fighting the whole way.
The cool thing about our visit to Cartier, my hubby met a Taino Princess (actually it was a local old lady dressed in a headdress and her finery that had some mental health issues apparently) that was sat seated at the door and the Cartier team treated her with some sort of odd reverence, it was interesting talking to her, and a highlight for my hubby, he is Puerto Rican. Sorry for going off topic…
I stopped in Tiffany and Cartier in Paris for five seconds. I was most interested in the prices at Tiffany as I had a particular item I wanted. The exchange rate was such that is was not practical.
That was on my eleventyth visit. When you are submerged in a new culture you don’t want to waste time window shopping at an American store. You’re there to enjoy a new culture.

@Tamaratattles, but Cartier is a French company, not American. So stopping at Cartier in Paris would be legit– like stopping by Chanel or Dior or St. Laurent, etc…
Sure, check out the shopping! But from what I understand, they were there for like ?3-4? days. Check out the destination, the culture, the sights, enjoy the local cuisine, etc, and yeah, shop, too. BALANCE.
I heard it as “akyoulades”.
Me, too, but I like incorporating Kool Aid into it… I think I’m thirsty?
I did too, lol.
I RACED here to come comment. @[email protected]
So of course, I got spammed by some trolls on Twitter for “badmouthing NeNe…”
“She left the show and Bravo begged her to come back, pay raise, highest-paid, she’s Kenya’s storyline, ‘I’m gonna open up a second Twitter to harass you, as if you can’t report me'”–the whole nine.
Anyway, the bottom line is NeNe, Porsha and Phaedra need to go back to the gutter.
Now, to read the blog.
Porsha didn’t say a word to Claudia, but she opened her big ass mouth to clap back at Kenya. I guess she isn’t that stupid after all. It is clear that Claudia has like no fucks.
But one thing that didn’t come out of Porsha’s mouth is “it isn’t true. I do not sex a married African man.”
After that lingerie outfit, I truly believe that the rumors (that Porsha is port-a-potty) are true. It is clear that she is advertising something.
Todd goes for a sperm count? I thought you had to have a set of balls for that.
Ha! I see what you did there.
Haha!
Not only does Todd need a set of nads but he needs to use his peen to get Kandi pregnant because a dildo doesn’t ejaculate. Kandi loves her some dildo.
Nene has come for Kandis accomplishments in the past so yea she is full of it when she talks about supporting other women, season 2 when Kandi came on Nene was not a fan of her at all and just one episode ago she threw some shade about some of the RHOA who have made a song.
Phaedra for sure owed Demetria an apology for her behavior that was NOT BECOMING of a southern bell but then again shes NO southern bell! Cynthia…her lips must always be in the puckered up position because all she does is KISS ASS first Nene now Kenya, who’s next Kandi? Phaedra? Porsha?, Kim was right she has NO backbone.
Why is everyone trying to hype up Claudia as if she made up all of those reads on her own? Everything she said came from social media so therefore her reads were social media reads, I have said it before and I will say it again the only 2 RHOA that really gave Nene the BUSINESS was Sheree Whitfield and Kim Zolciak because they knew her on a personal level and they just knew how to rile her feathers. Nene also proved a point that no matter how many times she apologizes its never good enough for any of these ladies how many times must one apologize before you are truly satisfied? I was a fan of Claudia in the beginning but when I started seeing videos of her bashing dark skinned girls I was done with her on the spot. Black people have it hard enough as it is but to know that another black woman would make horrific comments about dark skinned women is just appalling…but she was appalled by the “half breed” comment, she also went on a 10 minute tirade against Tiny Harris for no reason. Claudia can dish it but when its thrown right back her she cant take it and now she’s doing an apology run on her social media pages…but is still running her mouth.
Kenya…poor little Kenya has some nerve talking about Porsha’s African man but just last season she was bragging about her African man buying her a Bentley and talking about having a baby which this ALLEGED man now all of sudden she has a lot to say when it comes to Porsha’s man? Oh ok and before anyone tries to insult me, just remember its all on tape. Nothing against you Tamara just pointing out some very obvious hypocrisies that is coming from EVERYONE and if I was wrong about anything I said in my comments please let me know because I will correct myself when needed.
Lawd my comment is all over the place, this season is just terrible, can we get a major recast please and thank you?
You have alot to say but remember it doesn’t matter where you get your information from what matters is how you use it. Tamara wrote every word Nene and Claudia said so how could you come to the conclusion that Claudia didn’t check Nene to the high mountains. Nene had no replies to some on Claudia’s comments! Drop the mic! Come on, a good read is a woman who thinks quick on her feet and prounounces her words correctly when using them to read someone. I’m just saying!
Well said BPrice.
Thank you I am over all of these chicks and RHOA needs to be re-casted in a major way and I am also glad you didn’t resort to pathetic name calling some people (jteaspills) need to follow your example 🙂
Recastated?? Porsha? Is that you?
What’s hypocritical is that you wrote a whole essay to prove a point and missed the mark. You are one of the few articulate, yet still delusional Retards.
Oh how mature to use the word “retard” speaks volumes about your worthless character. Do me a favor, talk a long walk off a short pier thank you 🙂
Retard is one of my favorite words. If it offends you, once again you may be in the wrong place.

My apologies, you weren’t as articulate as I thought you to be.
My apologies, you aren’t as articulate as I thought you to be.
Porsha and Nene had a lot to say about Kenyas African prince and came at her with a bunch of allegations. Yet when Kenya questions Porsha it’s a problem.
Was Kenya involved with a married man? Was she passed around?
Don’t say you can prove that unless you can also prove Porsha is in a loving, monogamous relationship.
Before you come for Kenya’s relationship (that is supposedly a loving relationship with an African man), can you prove Porsha is in a monogamous, real (not paid) relationship in which she is not passed around?
(Bet you can, you seem like you probably know everything… Ha ha?)
I’m curious if you actually SAW the video of Claudia hosting the black party or just heard about it. It was very dark in there and she was clearly making a joke. She couldn’t see anyone in the back of the room.
On Sun, Jan 18, 2015 at 9:44 PM, Tamara Tattles wrote:

I saw the video and she clearly said she could only see the “beige” people, nobody in that clip was wearing beige so that attempt at making a joke was utterly stupid and if you haven’t done your research on the whole light skinned v dark skinned people you will never understand how hurtful a comment like that would be towards someone who is dark skinned.
I’m fully aware of colorism. I just don’t think that was her intention. She basically said she could only see the beige people. It was a fact.
This is what the world is coming to. When I was a teacher, I had a kid come to me telling me he was being bullied on the busy by a fourth grader. I taught first. I wanted to hunt the kid down and kill him. But first I had to figure out who he was. I asked the kid to describe the bully. He told me he was wearing a red shirt. I said, “Is he black, white, or Mexican?” and the 6 year old was already so indoctrinated with political correctness, his response was, ” Am I allowed to say?” My response was only if you want me to get him to stop.
Jesus. The room was dark, Everyone was in black. Lighten the fuck up. (pun intended.)

Oh and right before the clip ends she also said everyone else I just see eyes and teeth…how is that funny Tamara?
It was true. How was that offensive? You’re retarded.

Thank you TT, she was obviously roasting her friend on her birthday. Her friend was laughing. She also insulted Tiny when she was a shock jock on The Jamie Fox Show. Isnt that what they do? Oddly, no one is asking Jamie or any of the others on the show to apologize.
The Nene fans as well as fake eggs have been attacking Claudia on twitter non-stop. After apologizing about 100 times in 4 days with Nene fans not letting up, I had to avert my eyes. Some of them are truly vicious.
People are just looking for anything to disparage Claudia because Nene is getting her ass handed to her.
On Sun, Jan 18, 2015 at 10:42 PM, Tamara Tattles wrote:

“only see the “beige” people, nobody in that clip was wearing beige” lmao. she was talking about their complexion. Plenty of black people make fun of their own race in jest. Doesn’t make it 100% right, but was in no way derogatory or justifies NeNe’s half-breed comment.
Will no one comment on how messy Kandi was? I was disgusted. Girl,pick a lane. I also thought that Claudia could have quick while she was ahead but then I really liked to see that she didn’t give a DAMN who Nene is, and how big of a queen bee she is, how many of the other girls follow her or how much she makes… ‘No breaks for you!” * In my soup nazi voice*
Claudia sure wasn’t joking when she called T.I.’s wife, also biracial, ugly and a “waste of light-skin.”
Because light skinned, unattractive women are squandering their complexion privileges? How is it a “waste” if she’s light skinned but not cute, Claudia? If it’s a joke, once again it’s a bad one. I’m starting to notice a trend…
YES, jtea, you have boiled it down to the real point:
What Claudia may have said, no matter the context or her intentions, it doesn’t excuse Nene’s comment!!! And I’m pretty sure Nene meant “halfbreed” as a straight up insult.
I think the fact that Porsha African is married is what everyone is talking about!!!!! And who cares if Claudia reads were social media read it was still a read.
I agree. I don’t get the whole “all of that was on social media” Actually no, the ramen noodle thing was not, and it was exactly what Kandi said, Claudia said every single thing to Nene that everyone has been thinking but never dared to say all in one encounter. She left nothing out.
It’s what Kandi said: Claudia is saying everything anyone has ever thought about saying to Nene.
LOL. I think the key here is that Porsha is fucking a MARRIED man, not that he happens to be African.
And he is old as hell with a shriveled peen.

Can I ask you something in all seriousness — why do you concern trolls always start out with “I used to like so-and-so” (in your case Claudia) before laying into that person (in your case, Claudia) with a wall of text? Do you think the rest of us are too stupid to see you are lying about *ever* liking that person and are here for the sole person of bashing her? Because it is obvious that the lie about how you “used to like Claudia” is a lame attempt to try to make the shit you spew next sound “reasonable” but you really aren’t fooling anyone but yourself.
Next time, leave that bullshit out ans save some bandwidth.
*sole reason not sole person.
Sorry.
Save a megabyte; save a life.
It’s cute how you say you will correct yourself if anyone can prove you wrong. You’ve been proven wrong but keep fighting your wrong point. So I guess you lied. But, I’ll jump on in: you are wrong when you say Claudia can dish it out but can’t take it. She WON’T take it. There is a big difference. Now correct yourself. I’ll wait.
Get in line. I’m still waiting… and there are a lot of other commenters waiting, too.
😉
The difference is that Kenya’s was ‘allegedly’ a boyfriend that she was interested in a real relationship, while Porsha’s is ‘allegedly’ one of a number of married sugar daddies and she’s “allegedly” auctioning herself off in public.
Just because they’re both Nigerian, you think they’re the same relationships?
Claudia never said anything about dark skinned girls. I have dark skin, and when I first moved to this country I was shocked that skin color was such a big deal also shocked at how MUCH black people rag on other blacks about it. It’s seemed sooo freaking stupid. But whatever I’m used to it, even if i still don’t get it. If nene made that same comment NO ONE would have a problem with it. But because she’s bi-racial all of a sudden it’s news. The comment was obviously just a thoughtless joke. Like VERY OBVIOUSLY. The only people who would take this level of offense to it are pre-video claudia haters and people who are color sensitive. Her joke didn’t even have the same viciousness as a mid-day “yo mama” joke.
Black people are always getting up and arms and all sensitive about the WRONG THINGS.
Clarify, she didnt’ make a comment about “dark skin girls’ , she mentioned the darker skinned “people” in the room. It was observational not racial. The fact that people trumped it up to some dark skinned girls comment is evidence that all this anger is based on some ones ( other women’s) own insecurity. And its not that I don’t have sympathy for their insecurities, but people should blame other’s for their problems.
People need to take a chill pill about color. Who cares? The woman didn’t mean to offend. Get over it!
I was told by black girls in high school that “dark skinned people are not as smart as light skinned.” And therein lies the insult. Right or wrong. And don’t act like I said it. Because I didnt.
UPDATE: I didn’t hear about the “waste of lightskin” comment. Now THAT is not okay and it’s looking like she does indeed have a problem. You can’t go whining about people giving you a hard time for your biracial status in one breath then expect points for being light or biracial in the next breath.
I don’t take a “read” as a joke. That’s the excuse abusive people say when you call them on their often veiled insults. “Oh, it was only a joke!” And the they try to turn it around on you and undermine your own perceptions. Nene’s an expert at this. She’s not just a bully, she is an verbal and emotional abuser. And the way she chased Starr Jones around, never-the-less towered over Kim on the bus proves she knows how to got there physically too. Fucking bitch!
Let me elaborate on the meaning of context for you. Nene, in the midst of a verbal sparring war, was trying to think of anything and everything humiliating and offensive to throw Claudia’s way: she called her a whore, brought up her finances, bragged about having superior materialistic objects, her sexual history, made fun of her hair, her clothes, and her intelligence.
In the middle of all this anger and frustration, she used a racial slur to HUMILIATE and CONDEM another human being. “Half-breed” was used in CONJUNCTURE with a slew of other insults.
Then there is Claudia. At a black tie/all black gala-type event, she took the stage to make a speech. She made a joke about not being able to see people because they’re black, wearing black, and sitting in the dark. I’m not saying she’s a comedienne, but her career is built upon being a talking head-type hype woman. Most likely she pre planned that speech for comic relief. She did not say those things out of anger, or to belittle anyone. The mood was JOYOUS.
I’m not going to sit here and insult your intelligence, because I KNOW you can tell the difference between those two situations. I don’t understand why you feel the need to defend someone’s deplorable actions, who you have never met and only know through a reality television show, and has LITERALLY made a career out of humiliating people in front of a national audience. Do you seriously think nene would give you the time of day if you were to run into her somewhere? You are just another “twitter person” eclipsed by her “massive accomplishments and sukkcess”
Very well said.
COMIC RELIEF! That’s all Claudia’s comments were! Where was the OUTRAGE WHEN NENE CALLED “KIM A MONKEY WITH A WIG ON?” Could you IMAGINE the OUTRAGE if KIM called NENE a “MONKEY WITH A WIG ON?” Folks are blowing this way out of proportion
About 15 years ago, 5 friends and I went to The Comedy Store in Buckhead for a Saturday night show. We were kind of late getting there and the guy showed us to a table at the stage. We were thrilled. We were also the only white people there. That comedian riffed off of us all night long which is why we were seated down front. I had one of the best nights of my life. He looked down at us and asked us where we were from and when I answered south Ga. it was game on! Never once were we insulted or had our feelings hurt.
I think we can agree that Nene’s “half breed” comment was wrong. As for Claudia, I am neither dark skinned nor particularly sensitive about race or colorism, but I found the “joke” at the black party to be in poor taste coming from her. I am guilty of making jokes that may be perceived as offensive to some people and have fortunately never had the misfortune of making such a joke on camera. That being said, while the comment at the black party was a joke, tin he video that recently resurfaced, Claudia saying that Tiny is a “waste of light skin” implies that light skin, as opposed to dark skin, is a hot commodity and somehow better that dark skin. That was basically her saying that women white light skin are more attractive than women with dark skin and Tiny broke the mold by being an “ugly” light skinned woman. I am just as disguted by her comments in video about Tiny than I am with Nene’s “half breed” comment but one does not excuse the other and they were both wrong.
LOL!!
Thank you for pointing this out. I also liked Claudia before. Obviously nobody wants to hear it here but you’re right about her. Especially her saying Tiny was “a waist of light skin”. If the comment about dark skinned blacks in the black party was “just a joke” well how do you explain this? Then she goes on WWHL to talk about how offended she was by Nene’s “half breed” comment. I like Kenya though.
*waste. Sorry English is not my first language.
“Black people have it hard enough as it is but to know that another black woman would make horrific comments about dark skinned women is just appalling…but she was appalled by the “half breed” comment . . .”
Claudia is seen as a Black woman, but guaranteed — all her life there are many in the Black community that don’t see her as Black enough. Add to that the comments she gets from racist Whites & where does she belong?! She gets it from both sides. Sure, it should make her more sympathetic but some things you never forget &/or you’ve had enough. Instead of being “done” with Claudia after her “horrific comments”, maybe you should just see her as real (or real fed-up). Curious — are you “done” with Nene after her half breed comment (or is that acceptable)?
KUDOS to Claudia for being an adult!!!!! All throughout RHOA’s existence we’ve had a mean girl and a pack of scared kids who all thought it but couldn’t be woman enough to say it!!!
I’m one for blowing stuff up as I don’t do the whole getting along just for peace sakes. If it’s the last thing I’ll do is stand up for my rights!!!! How has it taken 7 seasons for someone to finally call Nene on her bs, I don’t know????
I’m not talking about getting loud and trading insults but actually holding her ACCOUNTABLE for her actions!!!! Not giving her an inch when she tries to supposedly apologize (doing a piss poor job) while simultaneously getting your point across. Come on tell me that wasn’t sooooo hard to do!!!
This is what being an adult is alllll about, the only person you should fear is the person paying your bills aka PARENTS. Aside from that their is no one on the face of this earth who would make me fear them aka TOLERATING Nene Leakes!!!!
@Lurker VERY well said! @Cyndy, because we all know that Kandi is a s–t stirrer. In this little group that is her primary job and defending MJ.
So, why can’t Claudia have a “bob”? Has the world gone insane. Why is Kandi still laughing and sitting with these crones? TT . . . . . explain this to me!
The bob comment was from the girls with the fake hair. They were jealous of Claudia’s hair. People with long hair sometimes want a shorter look for an evening, especially at the beach. That said it is hard to keep it all rolled up and her do was falling out by that point of the evening. I thought the fact that Claudia and Kenya were the only ones swimming and getting their hair wet should forever end the speculation about their hair. Though Claudia does put in some pieces once awhile, it’s not a big secret.
Did anyone else find it hysterical that Porsha claims her hair line paid for the Rolls?

Well in a way it did, just not the hair on her head. Porsha’s “African” man probably likes a nice wax job down there, no doubt bonus pay for a landing strip.
She must have sold an awful lot of nylon fibers!! porsha’so wigs look like they have the same texture as Barbie Doll Hair.
When she made the comment about her hair line business paying for the Rolls, it sounded so rehearsed like she knows she has to tell people she’s doing “something” so as not to look so obvious. There’s no way she could have a business that bringing in enough revenue to buy a Camry, much less a Rolls Royce in such a short period without major marketing by major players. And if she had that, she wouldn’t need a rich, married old man she has to provide sexual favors to. She was such a fake. Kordell did not make a mistake divorcing her. He saw her for who she was finally. Don’t see why Claudia would go for him (per the previews), but he seems to be looking better for some reason.
A Yugo maybe, a Rolls nope.
#raiseshand That and that she never said her bf isn’t married. I also thought it was interesting that Porsha jumped down Kenya’s throat when she bought up the married sugar daddy but was pretty much on mute when Claudia said I know he’s married…
Man that bob looked silly. Not as silly as Nene’s weave, but claudia is clearly in there doing her own hair and makeup. But no shade over here. I’m all for the frugal chicks. Nene be damned.
I would like to see Porsha audited for making the comment about being able to afford the Rolls based on income generated by her new business. We all know she is stretching the truth. Does she even own a car?
An audit would be a nice aggravation to add to her other legal issues.
One could say “Nene sitting in her Dutch boy wig, mocking Claudia’s hair is the funniest thing ever.” Or even “the pot calling the kettle black.”— but in Nene’s case, the pot called the kettle half breed.
No worries though cuz at the enda the day, errr-body was able to move forward with their accu-alades.
Dutch boy look is the most ridiculous look I’ve ever seen anyone voluntarily present themselves to the world as. So rude, so ugly. If she’s not cringing at herself watching these episodes, Nene it is time to check yourself into a mental health facility. Too bad they don’t have computer imaging for talking heads. Editing mandatory!!!
Claudia is fabulous. I was on the floor laughing at her quick retorts. Hahahahaha. I’m still laughing reading Tamara’s Blog.
“Phaedra stills appears to be medicated!”
I’m serious! I can’t believe no one is talking about it. She seems to be on something on every episode.
Yes! I was wondering if anyone else noticed. She looks like she’s on pain killers or something.
Yesssssss…When Demetria was apologizing..Phaedra appeared slightly sedated.I am not a Doctor, but I am connoisseur in sedatives.
I mention Phaedra’s high a$$ all of the time for years. I remember when Phaedra had subtitles on RHOA, she has been high since she has been on the show.
Yes, it’s obvious she’s stoned. I think we’re getting use to it now TT. Explains the dumb shit she says. One day when she’s out of this fog, she’ll look back and say WTF. Probably won’t remember half of it. That’s another bad thing about the Housewives, there’s a permanent record.
I’ve been saying benzos for a good while now!
Probably on a embezzeled Prozac/Xanax cocktail with a champagne chaser.
Why would Claudia be interested in Kordell? She is young, beautiful and successful. Why be interested in that douchebag especially with the gay rumors. Is there really no decent straight guys in Atlanta?
There are not.

(I think I heard you say yes!!!)
PS: wanna make shirts that say, “I am the 1%”?
Too many hippies here who can’t just laugh at things …
My partner literally was threatening to wear a shirt saying that last year. I persuaded him to avoid that purchase with evidence of how problematic it would be to wear in reality. When we finally get a holiday home in Portsea you can all come visit. 😀
Not many! IMO, Kordell wouldn’t be a bad catch. BTW, I never believed he was gay.
You know they really have no respect for anyone to be late occasionally is one thing but every time one is called upon to support someone is different. Kenya says this her season for redemption it looks like it’s her season to be shut down and not be allowed to speak. The hate is real for her. I just can’t stand Phaedra and Nene together after all she did to here. One thing I can say for Nene she has the magnet everyone wants to pull towards her no matter how harsh she treats them. You have to give her her props. Kenya still pulling for you girl you just need that one big break. This season seems to be all about Claudia. Hope Kenya don’ t lose her. Ladies please try to be happy for each other. Is it just black women who think having a piece of man is better than no man at all. For Phaedra to keep saying she got a ring is ridiculous.
The only ring Apollo gave Phaedra was the one his greasy ass left in the bathtub.
Speaking of Kenya…did anyone notice that once again she mentioned No Tea No Shade…she is for sure reading here.
Not to knock this site but the phrase “No Tea, No Shade” is very commonly used and has been before this site existed.
Can someone please explain Porsha’s outfit to me? Were they supposed to have beachwear to the “dildo by the beach” affair and only Porsha got that memo?
i’m just…confused.
I’d like the answer to this question as well. That outfit screamed yeast infection.

Maybe it’s Lilly’s “Swimgerie” collection? I honestly thought the stupid bitch forgot to put the rest of her clothes on!
I’m surprised there’s not more comments about Porsha & that black outfit she was wearing (with her butt cheeks hanging out). Just as she appeared on the screen my husband came into the room & said “What the fuck is that”!
To think . . . Wifey Porsha doesn’t do strip clubs, but Porsha4Real looks like the headliner at the local T&A bar. “Coming to a strip club near you (via the Underground Railroad) → the Amazing Porsha Williams”.
(And please don’t forget to bring plenty of [̲̅$̲̅(̲̅ι.οο̲̅)̲̅$̲̅] cause mama needs a new handbag.)
ETA: Did I miss something or has Porsha’s family NOT appeared in any episodes so far this season?? Uhm . . .
LOl at “dildo by the beach” affair!! Now that’s a good description of that little gathering. As a matter of fact it seems like Kandi always has dildos on her mind. Oh well maybe it’s a business thing.
Nene seemed to backing down a little, like she doesn’t want to have to tangle with Claudia on tonight’s episode. Definitely detect a bit of recoil. Porsha looked so guilty when Claudia exposed her prostitution whore activities. I wish Dementria lots of luck in her career. At least she is a legit talent. And she seems to have a sweet personality. Not sure why she didn’t get a peach.
I baffled by Demetria. My “golden” source says production hated her and snatched her peach. But she has been charming and sweet in every scene. Why are they editing her so sweetly if she was a source of constant issues during filming. Perhaps she was sort of too delicate and started bawking at having to be in the shark pit? Or maybe she went full bitch mode when the ladies missed most of her show?

I don’t know. I just heard over and over how she was not working out. But she seems like a good addition to me. Perhaps it will make sense later in the season?

She certainly is beautiful and seems quite reasonable. Maybe they are looking for more braying moose. Porsha is becoming more moose-like with each episode and her mouth looks like she could easily suck on a telephone pole.
Demetria is giving me a bit of a Lisa Wu vibe, which for a show like this probably isn’t enough for a peach. She just seems nice. Nothing too exciting or interesting. That could be due to lack of airtime however.
Demetria is gorgeous and leggy. She can still be a star if she decides what kind of performer she is. Drop the Beyoncé copy.
Demetria was by far and large the most likeable singer I’ve ever heard on one of these reality shows. and that includes Kandi and KMichelle.
Demetria can’t really swim with these sharks. She just lets all of them roll over her, and that doesn’t make for good TV.
Ummm…lost all respect I had for Claudia this ep. She was still feeling herself from her epic win, but ended up looking super messy bringing up Porsha’s personal business and would just not stop trying to “read” Nene even when it was clear an olive branch had been extended.
I’m starting to hate this show.
So….It’s ok for Porsha to call Kenya a slut from the 90’s but it’s not oK for Claudia to talk about Porsha’s married bf. That makes lots of sense. Porsha should have stfu like Kandi and Phaedra and let them hash it out but she interjected and was shut the hell down. #keepitcuteorkeepitonmute
Claudia’s issue was with Nene, not Porsha. If everyone keeps bringing up what everyone else did to the person who they don’t have issue with, like Claudia did to Porsha, these chicks will never all get along.
I’m going out on that skinny little limb all by my lonesome. Not a Nene fan, at all, but I thought she came off better in this episode than she has all year. Her hair is a fright, but she didn’t come for Claudia, Claudia came for her and ended up looking silly. Came off as if she was reading a script, primed by the crew and the nasty girls of Kenya, Cynthia (I just can’t with her, she is so lame), and the rest. Never have the words, “She is so thristy.” been truer. Blast away, but I just thought Nene actually came off better. And that kills me to say that.
When the Housewives own their shit and alologise like it appears Nene did, they always ‘win’. Humility and self-deprecating behaviour is always good for shows like this.
Nene’s epiphanies are short lived, eventually her insecurities resurface and she lashes. Time and again she has shown this, not through apologies but rare moments of being humble and then doing a 360 in the next breath. That is one of the things that makes her “seem” unstable, the mood swings and lashing out, you never know which Nene is hiding under the wig…Godzilla or Raggedy Ann. It call be a calculated act for all I know.
Yes. Everyone was shocked by Nene’s apologies to Claudia. But I have a feeling she’s just setting her up …. stay tuned.

I personally think Nene was doing damage control. She realized (or someone told her) that her halfbreed comment was over the line. So she came back tonight all apologetic and expressing regret. That was probably a spur of the moment reaction which she later reconsidered after digging up dirt about Claudia’s dark skinned comments of the past. Then she felt exonerated and retorted to her old ways. It was jaw dropping to watch her saying all those “right” things that she preaches but does not practice.She is never happy for anyone else’s accomplishments. She has no room to talk about anybody else’s hair or their sex life. And clearly she has yet to understand that her “clit” comment was vulgar and ignorant. She repeated it several times tonight as if she had made a new medical discovery. They all sat at the table cackling like it was the most precocious comment they ever heard. Sigh.
You do realize this show is filmed months in advance and not on a weekly basis? Claudia’s dark skinned comments didn’t surface until a few days ago.
AH!!!!! DING DING DING we have a winner. She was told that the half breed comment was going to be a big deal so she indeed was doing damage control. THat is exactly it. Because she goes right back in on her very soon.

And losing respect for Claudia not allowing people to call her a whore? Good for her. Been did not seem sincere and wasn’t listening, as she kept yelling over Claudia.
Are you joking?? Nene came off looking WHAT now?? Please. She cowered to people’s faces and talked incomprehensible shit behind their backs. And tried to make it all better like she was so far above them all with her big Cinderella announcement. But that didn’t go exactly as planned now, did it. In her peroxide soaked tiny brain, she honestly does think that money and fame make you a better person and the “winner”. But the more she gets, the more of a loser she becomes. Huh.
@Teecee66, Say that…you are on point.. Nene is not a master puppeteer what she is one good freakin Hypnotist. Because there are too many people who have lost their mind if they can not remember how Nene has went after EVERYBODY over the past years…The only one she left alone was Kandi..does anyone remember lil Kandi’s first season? Nene has been a Vulture period!!!
I can’t believe nobody asked her what role she was playing on Cinderella.
So you are dead? YAY! Dances on grave.

The #WWHL poll question of who won the fight was Claudia 43% and Nene 57%.
I tell you, had that been the poll question last week, Claudia would’ve won. But she went too hard this week. Even when Nene was apologizing, Claudia seemed geared for a fight. Like she had her lines rehearsed and she will get them out, olive branch, be damned! She even turned on Porsha for laughing the night before and Claudia went way below the belt… and for what? They were all laughing at the table. Claudia squandered quite a bit of goodwill by her actions in the van. The thirst is real.
In what world do you think an apology starts with someone bragging and being an arrogant ass bout getting a job like a preteen girl? This is someone who has GRANDCHILDREN. She started it, again. Once Claudia went RIGHT BACK at her, she didnt know what the fuck to say. So now she’s going to run with the “I tried to apologize” schtick. How you can’t see that just pains me.
Nene only respects very alpha characters. Claudia throwing all her shit right back into her face actually made Nene take a moment and respect Claudia.
Imo Claudia is the best cast ever, exactly what this show needed. Ever since Kim left Nene has been bulldozing over everybody without a hint of remorse because she doesn’t respect any of them. Even though Kenya runs circles around Nene intellectually she just wasn’t alpha enough to really go head to head with Nene and earn her respect.
Also Claudia didn’t look silly in the bus scene where she kept on pressuring Nene, she looked like the only sane person there.
Because when NeNe extends an olive branch, it’s always been completely honest and heartfelt?! I don’t buy nene’s apology for a second and I have a feeling that Claudia is being wise not to accept it either.
Also, the way Porsha was losing her shit laughing at the rude and crude things Nene was saying to Claudia at the dinner, I think she deserved to get a bit of a slap down as well. Jmo
Will no one comment on how messy Kandi was? I was disgusted. Girl,pick a lane. I also thought that Claudia could have quick while she was ahead but then I really liked to see that she didn’t give a DAMN who Nene is, and how big of a queen bee she is, how many of the other girls follow her or how much she makes… ‘No breaks for you!” * In my soup nazi voice*
I was so happy to see Claudia go in on NeNe! Porscha thought hiding behind NeNe & Phaedra made her immune to getting called out WRong!! Now all of a sudden Phaedra & Nene are buddies! I have a feeling Kandi @ Phaedra’s friendship might end!
I’m pretty sure Kandi and Phaedra are no longer close.

Once Nene & Phaedra revealed that they were allies during the reunion last season, Kandi was shocked because she thought that she & Phaedra were close, but apparently they weren’t that close if she didn’t know that.
This season there seems there seems to be tension between Kandi & Phaedra.. something just appears to be off…
POrsha mouthing off at Kenya because of that “tiny little” fight they had last reunion because people filled her head up about the hair pulling fight she had.. So when a person feel as if the “beat you up” they will cont’d to go in on you until you return the favor & show them what a “real beat down” is ,and then they will leave you alone. ( Porsha & Kenya)…
I don’t know about you guys but I can not get over how bad Nene’s make up looks on all her talking heads. It looks like she has 5 o’clock shadow. It’s just soooo yucky. How is it possible no one told her this?
I did not hear Nene apologize to Claudia for the half breed comment. I suspect that preseason Nene and Phaedra got together on each taking on one of the new girls.
Porsha looks like a cheap hooker with that excessive hair and lack of clothing. She has gained weight and with her nasty attitude, lost all the dumb but pretty she used to have. Well, not the dumb. Kordell must be so happy to have escaped that mess.
I really think Porsha’s time would have been better spent figuring out why and how she turns men gay (allegedly) instead of grasping for a peach. I also think she could benefit from slow measured speaking, it would give her brain time to catch up to her mouth. I too thought she was pretty initially but that quickly became lost behind the ugly behavior and her ease at being manipulated by more calculating women. Self reflection is probably a term she will never understand, a shame too because she spends a lot of time in front of the mirror.
The one good read Claudia missed was when nene was calling her a whore, she should have brought up nene fucking a married man. I never understood how she got away with screaming ‘ close your legs to married men’ at Kim when she has that track record. It’s like no one will mention it.
I’ll love Claudia forever for calling Porsha an alligator mouthed ass.
Another missed read by Claudia was when Nene went off on her diatribe about the cars in her garage. Claudia could have shut it down with a quick, “does your LANDLORD approve? “
Or she should have advised her to sell one of them and make good on her pledge to donate $20,000 to Detroit schools. Clearly, Nene is hoping we will eventually forget about that lie. Speaking of lies, wonder if she really gave all the women two free tickets to “Cinderella” or she was just taking the opportunity to promote herself and brag?
Nene always gave the impression that Greg was divorced when they met and those who knew differently never outed her. Kim has mentioned that disgusting comment a couple of times. I think she wishes it would die and shrivel up.
From Miami to the OC the housewives have made rude and distasteful comments designed to hit below the belt. In my opinion “close your legs to married men” was the most vulgar, vicious and vile remark one woman has EVER said to another…until the offensive half-breed comment.
Both times when I heard that sort of ugliness spew from Nene’s mouth my spirit hurt for the women she directed her wrath towards. Nene, in all her wicked glory, is just so proud of herself like a little banty rooster after she has given someone a good nut kick. She’s loathsome and has no respect for women or their accomplishments.
When Nene is riled up and opens that disgustingly soiled mouth of hers I wonder what repugnant and noxious thing is next. She is wicked in a foul way. A way that gives someone a strong stench.
Dracla, someone in our circle recalled that foul comment she spewed at Kim during that 1st season’s reunion. Then we were like “What woman is that preoccupied with another’s woman’s vagina? In descrip, during a HEATED exchange?” Your private parts wouldn’t even come to mind while I’m beefin’ with you, to tell you the truth. We know Sag is a masculine sign, but got damn, Ne Ne. The way you brought up Claudia’s “private part” did bring up when you brought up Kim’s, for we viewers. Why? Ne Ne, be careful when it comes to constantly talking about a woman’s vagina; cause then we’d start to evaluate your jealousies in a whole nutha light.
I am assuming the PR beach scene was prior to Phaedra having a tummy tuck. Poor thing, she was past due….what is this fish net shit over the bathing suit??? Ghastly!
It was funny how NeNe got busy stuffing food in her mouth when she ran out of nasty comments to banter with Claudia. NeNe lost that battle.
I have zero respect for Kandi laughing with NeNe over the attack on Demetria and Claudia.
If you’ve noticed, Kandi always laughs at inappropriate times. She laughs like that when she’s uncomfortable, especially at vile Mama Joyce comments. Just because she was laughing at Nene’s comments does not necessarily mean she thought they were funny. Nervous habit.
When you grow to be an adult, you learn not to laugh at inappropriate times. But seeing where Kandi comes from, it’s a wonder she’s not on the corner or in jail
Phaedra looked like netted ham.
After you said that I went back & looked at Phaedra ! She does look like a netted ham LOL
omg…[email protected] list – sooooo true. It appears that Phaedra’s booty video’s are collecting dust.
Free Willy!
It’s amazing how whenever Kenya or Claudia says something derogatory or racially insensitive it’s deemed a “joke.” Kandi and Cynthia got ripped new assholes for the “holding a black baby” comment in South Africa, Phaedra got ripped for saying Apollo grew up eating canned meat, and Kim got bashed for saying she didn’t want to go to Deshawn’s barbecue and eat chicken in season 1. For someone who spent half an episode whining about being mistreated by black women for being biracial, Claudia did the same thing to Tiny, who is
also biracial. Even after Jamie Foxx asked her to stop she went on to say that Tiny was a waste of light skin. Then, after she got called out she made a public announcement that she was going to apologize on air because Tiny gave her a job cohosting her talk show. Reminds me of Kenya’s comment last season about being given a black baby. Everyone ran to her defense claiming it was a joke but as my grandmother used to say, even a joke contains some true feelings. Only time will tell who these women truly are but I’m almost sure that excuses will be made then, as well.
Phaedra didn’t get called out for saying Apollo liked canned meat — Phaedra got called out for saying that Apollo liked canned meat because he was raised by white people and white people like canned meat/don’t know good food.
And Khandi and Cynthia should have been ripped new ones for saying Kim wouldn’t hold a black baby because that was utter b.s.
Exactly!! So why are these types of comments only offensive when they’re not made by Kenya or Claudia? And Cynthia’s exact words were “I can’t imagine Kim here holding an African baby with snot running down his nose?” Kandi laughed and agreed and it turned into a 2 episode fight. I guess the level of acceptance all depends on how well liked the housewife is. Kim called Don Juan a nappy head and then admitted to allowing Big Poppa to call Sweetie the “black bitch.” This outrage over Nene calling Claudia a half breed is comical as most of these women have made racially insensitive/derogatory comments at some point during the series.
No, not exactly my point at all. Context matters in these kinds of things — words themselves are not “magic” — they hold no force on their own simply because they are uttered (that is what a “spell” is — incantation of words that can, simply from speaking them, cause harm to another). What matters is the *intent* — how the person who says them meant them. Were the words said as an insult? Did the speaker have malicious intent by saying them? Now I understand “context” requires higher level thinking so many don’t understand that, or are unable to understand, so they default to simple-minded thinking that the words themselves are what is harmful/malicious. But that isn’t the case at all. And if you don’t see the difference, then I certainly can’t help you.
Nenes comment were not comical because it was meant as a direct insult and the term has a derogatory meaning and history behind it.
Angie, very well said and spot on.
My sentiments exactly.
Trust, I am very well aware of the meaning of the word context so I do not need your “help.” My point was others have made equally offensive comments but when they come from certain HW’s it’s deemed acceptable and/or a joke.
I just watched the video & it was a male that said Tiny’s a waste of light skin — NOT Claudia.
I don’t know what is funnier, Claudia’s zings or TT’s juicy extras. I’m dying over here! If I every win the lottery that I don’t play, I am paying a huge salary for claudia, kenya, TT, and Teecee to have a show together like people’s couch meets chelsey handler.
(I’m sorry, TT, but…)

That game was AWESOME!!!
It was the best game and poor Sherman! Until Feb 1 … wahoo!!
I think I figured out Phaedra’s bizarre dislike of Demetria. If you squint at both of them you will notice that they look very similar, very strong lips and weird headshape.
After seeing Phaedra have the nerve to comment AGAIN on Demetria’s outfit after she apologized to HER, and then proceed to awkwardly point out how expensive her own outfit is it clicked for me, Phaedra is just insanely jealous and intimidated by this much prettier version of herself!
Is it just me, or did Phaedra say her dress was from Target, before she then pointed out all of her expensive accessories that still made it a “$100,000 outfit”? That was odd.
She definitely said the dress was from Target. Did you notice the spaghetti straps? Then she rattled so fast it was hard to see how she got to the $100,000 figure. I guess I’ll re watch it to see what she was spewing.
Did you see the look on her face while Demetria was performing?! She was SEETHINGGG.
I have noticed that Phaedra has behaved like this before. Particularly if someone is trying to have a serious conversation with her. She becomes very socially awkward and immediately starts acting silly. She doesn’t seem to be able to accept or give an apology in a mature manner. It is never “I am glad you explained to me how you were feeling and this is what I was feeling…” But is always hurry lets sweep this under the rug and get away from me because I am not able to show real emotion.
I have noticed that.
“Nene seems too drunk to make sense.”
So she’s drunk 24/7? When does she ever make sense?
wtf’s with all these comments?? lol I never reached the bottom it appears…anyway wth’s with the akoolaides Porsha? lol I know you shading nene but that was a Porsha moment. You should have said “ACCOMPLISHMENTS”…
Kandi stop with all the stupid sex games, toys,talks. It’s not cute or interesting. What is your point with all of this
Okay, I just loved that Team Pretty (AKA Team Real) has FUN! Not a bunch of old, bitter hens talking shit their entire trip (except for a quick break to hit up Cartier). Team Pretty drinks, hits the beach, the water, etc, vowing to enjoy their time! Which group would I kick it with??? Duh! And I like seeing the girls having fun!!!
Hear me out: Cynthia can’t win. Agree or disagree, it’s fine. It’s just like, yeah, she’s no longer held hostage by Nene, so yes, maybe she did “find her voice”. And for those who keep missing it, she uses that voice. Big key point: she picks her battles. She wants to have fun, will accept those who treat her with respect, can forgive (oh, what a spineless woman!), but she will speak up, ON HER OWN, when she chooses to–it just happens to be less than most of the others. But tell me Kenya is controlling Cynthia or Team Pretty, and I’ll tell you the sky is falling.
I’m not a prude, but all Me he’s clit talk is so vulgar! I suppose I could excuse her harping on it if it was even minimally funny. It’s not.
The end!
I agree with you about Cynthia. She’s not speaking up saying stupid things just to hear herself talk. She makes sense in the things she says and seems to want to keep the peace. She’s finally got Nene figured out (I hope!) and isn’t going to take her ish anymore. She didn’t let nene shut her down at the dinner and sounded intelligent as opposed to stupid like nene. I liked Cynthia before and I like her more now. Nene wants to believe that she controlled Cynthia, but Cynthia was just being a supportive friend to her. And now that she (Cynthia) has seen Nene’s true colors, she’s just not supportive. (Although I do believe Cynthia may have been a little scared of Nene and bit her tongue on many occasions. Nene is a big scary!)
It is not “true” that darker-complexioned people cannot be seen in a darkened room.
The joke is problematic and to deny that is a curious position to take.
“Political correctness” -a term often used incorrectly- has nothing to do with an obvious reading of the “joke.”
I have absolutely no investment in this show except as an Atlanta resident who understands the complexity of communities here, but blogs do offer opportunities to have thoughtful conversations about race.
@mphillip My hubby is so dark and he got his lovely color from years of being in the fields picking cotton and tobacco. My oldest son has dark skin and the most beautiful complexion omg. I raised him to love himself and his dark skin to the point now he thinks he’s some sort of Adonis. He and my hubby are very confident hard working entrepreneurs with very dark skin. But neither of them can be seen in a darkened room unless they smile and that is a fact. We joke about it often.
@mphillip My hubby has very beautiful dark sun kissed skin from years of being in the fields picking cotton and tobacco. My eldest son also has the most beautiful dark skin complexion with eyelashes we women pay for. I’ve always taught my son he is beautiful and to love himself to the point I may have ruined him lol. They are both very hard working very dark skinned entrepreneurs. That being said, it is absolutely “true” that they can not be seen in a darkened room except their eyes (sometimes not even their eyes) and of course their teeth, if they smile. We often joke about it.
Sorry for 2 replies the first wasn’t suppose to post
That is probably not a great idea.
I haven’t seen the audio/video of Claudia “making racist comments” but the way it’s described eher comments came from a comedic place which radio hosts and comedians do all the time. Claudia spent a lot of time around radio hosts and comedians so I can only assume her comments were more for comic intent/relief.
When Nene told Kim “close your legs to married men” and when Phaedra invited nenes sister to her toddlers party, it was personal and malicious intent….To hurt, embarrass or humiliate them.
There is a difference and I don’t believe Claudia made those comments with malicious intent. But nenes halfbreed comment was definitely with malicious intent because she was getting slammed by Claudia and had no comebacks. I’ve heard that term used for comedic relief but when nene said it it def was meant to hurt Claudia and throw claudias shade game off cause Claudia slaying, especially when she nene said “bye girl” and Claudia responded “are you leaving” I fell out of my chair lol
Saying a woman you deem ugly I’d a “waste of light skin” is very problematic. What’s more problematic, is the people of color on here lauding this a “joke.” Very mixed message were sending here, but hey carry on. I get “seeing no wrong” when it comes to your favorites, but wrong is wrong. Even Claudia knows it was wrong, because once the video resurfaced, she apologized. Well, after promoting the on-air apology for days via Twitter, she apologized. She claimed she cried, too. Girl, bye. This incident was years ago, and Claudia felt no remorse until she was called out last week. Now she wants to cry about hiring someone feelings with colorism? Lol! Girl, bye.
In my lifetime I have apologized to people and I have received apologies and none of those apologies even remotely resemble Nene’s apologies. Her apologies are self serving and insincere. So @Psychlocke I agree with you. That was just a way for her to brag about herself. There are people in this world who have 10 times more than Nene has but they do not go around bragging every chance they get. For me that’s what makes her unbearable. Also I do think that she may be a little intimidated by the fact that Claudia calls her out on her stuff. And finally…what difference does it make if Claud’s reads were based on comments from social media. She still had the courage to say it to her face when no one else on the show would. That to me is what makes it a read.
How will Porsha explain those Kordell is gay comments if he ends up dating Claudia?
If Claudia dates him she is no better than Porsha. Those “rumors” have been around about him for years and i guarantee that Claudia heard the rumors about him long before he was married to Porsha, She is just entertaining him because she thinks it would irk her enemy, or because she knows he has money.
I think this episode makes it easy to see why the cast ranks were changed. Porsha probably didn’t want her sugar daddies being a part of the show. Demitra is talented but she has no presence. Claudia can go head to head with NeNe and prevail.
It’s so weird seeing the former “Team Smalls” be with NeNe. It was a relief to get a break from the Mama Joyce drama for the past two episodes. I hope Dr. Jackie gives Kandi a lecture on diet. That would be so amusing.
If anyone on this trip should be pissed it should be Demetria. She invites all these ladies on an all expense paid trip. Even if bravo paid for the trip it was expressly for them to attend her event. I can maybe see when they are at home and have obligations being a bit late to something. They are on a vacation there is no reason that they should have shown up that late for her event. Especially Nene after she threw such a fit and sent everyone packing when they were so late to her event in California last season. Nene also wanted to complain abou the room being to small. Then pay for your own room somewhere else with all that New normal money. I think it was very rude of all of them.
We now know that anytime Nene has no “comebacks” or is at a lost for words her go to expression is Bye, Girl Bye. She said that way too many times.
What numskulls/numbskulls these 3 women are! Phaedra,Portia and that Nene. Oooh and that Plus one, 2 faced Knucklehead Doofus Kandi.
How these people go to sleep, is beyond me. I thought I would give Kandi, the benefit of the doubt, but after last night, laughing and cracking jokes about a Spaghetti Strap?? Kandi was not just giggling nervously, she was cracking jokes & doing high-five’s. What’s with these women..
Yes, Nene, your clothes are straight off the runway..yet your son, has to rob and steal from stores. Wohkay, then. If you have so many cars in your crib, are you not ashamed to literally “make” Whoopi give you that pair of shoes?
Weren’t you the one who was condescending towards Kenya for wanting to do anything for a $1.50, and now suddenly you are the Chick ‘who would do anything for a check.’
I am pretty sure other than ‘ Akoolaids’, you also said, ‘Statue of Libertations’ instead of ‘Statute of Limitations’. (at your WWHL)
The hot glue has melted all that pea brain of yours, Nene.
And btw, I have a feeling that 5 o’clock shadow must be, you taking Caroline Manzo’s (NJ) shaving the face tip, except in your case, it back-fired. hahaha
Oh remember… Porsha tried to backtrack claiming she wasn’t implying Kordell was gay when she said he was gay.
I fucking love Claudia and hope she never accepts a fake apology from Nene. I like Demetria and yes she can sing, but she may be too nice. We already have Kandi who can sing and is the Switzerland of the group, which is getting old. I would like to see the Kandi who told Nene “to bring in on down,” when she first came on the show tell Nene what she really thinks. She admitted everyone thinks the things Claudia said to Nene. I’m sure she has a few things brewing that Claudia didn’t address. Like Nene constantly slurring her career and acting like she doesn’t have any money in comparison. Kandi comes across as a genuinely nice person but even nice people get pissed after so long. Porsha has gone from the pulpit to prostitution. She’s a fame whore, literally. If I was going to whore myself out, I would be getting a house first instead of 500k cars and 80k handbags. At least Kim had enough sense to get a townhouse back when she was whoring for a living. Porsha will be all that and a bag of chips when she rolls up in her half million dollar car to tent city someday. If Phaedra really did spend 100k on her outfit, that’s all the proof I need that she is a pillbilly. It’s time to lose the southern belle/Christian act. It’s not working. Loved the comment someone made about her looking like a netted ham on the beach. : )
The ham comment came from me.forgive me lord 🙂
also, had anyone heard of Kordell being gay before Porsha said it?
Yes many of us have heard gay rumors about Kordell from his Pittsburgh days…
Yes.
Yep. I lives in Pittsburgh when he had the liaison with the trans woman in the park and got caught. It was on the news.
*lived
I think it was last season, but am not sure, that a NeNe commented really irked me. You can have money along with class, integrity and accountability. I live comfortable. Sometimes we live payday to payday and sometimes we are blessed enough to have a little saved back. I drive a 05 vehicle that has been paid for for several years. I live in a modest home….home being the operative word. It’s not a house, it’s not a showcase, it’s a home. Brought my babies home from the hospital here, raised my family, and enjoy every second with my 4 grangirls in this modest home. She (NeNe) made a comment that continually nags in my brain and frankly just pissed me off and if/when I allow continues to piss me off. She made a comment about ppl who have white refrigerators. I guess in her world, you judge a person by if they have stainless steel appliances, which really means the size of your bank account. I still have a white fridge…. the reason? It isn’t because of the size or lack of size of our banking account but because the white fridge just refuses to die (Thankfully). My husband is like the postman, doesn’t matter the weather, his health or exhaustion, he is a hard-working man and I value him too much to be frivolous with his hard earned money. I may not have checks signed by Donald Trump, I may not have clothes on HSN and I may not have the newest of appliances or dress the most fashionable. What I do have is being married to the true love of my life for 31 years. 4 Amazing kids (the oldest from his prior marriage) that, so far, are honest, humble, nurturing, respectful and non-judgemental, and again, so far, no arrest records. My best friends from high school are still my best friends. My husband and I just celebrated our 30 year anniversary last month. Proud for you Nene for your stainless fridge, but in no way do I envy your life. I’m proud of my white fridge…. it has helped make many meals that not only fed my family, but countless teenagers when my kids were teenagers. To this day, even if my kids aren’t here, many of those teenagers, now adults, still come to see the hubby and me. That my dearest ones shines brighter than any bling that it IMO she has traded her family for. Rant over.
When I moved into this house, I bought a very old white refrigerator from a neighbor for like 25 bucks. I is the ugliest refrigerator in the world. I painted it a fresh coat of white and planned to update the kitchen after I got all settled in. That fridge WILL Not DIE and works like a dream. I could not convince myself to get new appliances that work great just so the kitchen would look pretty.
That white fridge is gonna out live me and any other person who ends up with it.

I have a 15 year old white fridge, too. When Sherae published a photo of T’s house it looks a lot like mine. Grown children with no student debt b/c I paid. At almost 66, I am happy with my choices. TT, it’s that whole Maslow’s Hierarchy of Need thing. I know I’ve made a positive impact and that feels so good. When the music stops for Nene, and it will stop b/c she’s just not that talented, I wonder where she will be financially? She just might find herself grateful for a working white fridge.
My hubby and I bought a storage unit that had lots of nice furniture and appliances, including a forward facing washer and dryer. I always wanted a set but couldn’t just throw out or sell my very old beige/eggshell colored 1987 LA112 Maytags that work perfectly just to get something more up to date. So I was excited to say the least. We stored the old set in the garage to donate. Boy am I glad we didn’t give the Maytags away! We used the new set for less than a year and the washer stopped spinning cuz the motor went out and the dryer stopped heating! That new set was less than 3 years old. The only thing I’ve ever had to do to my Maytag washer was have a sock removed from the drum. My Maytag washer uses about 90% more water and laundry detergent than the newer washers and is loud as hell but those old things were built to last. If they ever die I swear I will buy another pair just like them.
Nene had nothing to do with me wanting to upgrade my fridge. i also had my fridge and stove for 15+ years and I wanted a change. I do love my kitchen much more with the stainless steel, but was perfectly okay with white appliances.
I would need a complete kitchen remodel to justify new appliances. My kitchen is a crap hole. One corner has the hookups for a washer, another for a dryer. Apparently doing laundry in the kitchen was all the rage in the thr 1950s
I also have literally 2 square feet of counter space total.

As far as I’m concerned, the jury is still out for Demetria. I can’t out my finger on it, but I think in the end, she’s going to be less than likeable. They always start off making the new girl look victimized and making you sympathetic. But…Brandi. So…
As far as Claudia and Korell, dear god I laughed. I mean…what a great way to make old croc mouth go off the deep end. Just 30 seconds of airtime. I don’t think it actually will amount to anything. Just whizzing up her beanie propeller so she will go reunion apeshit again.
Claudia said according to her own words
” She can only see beige – people like herself.”
Claudia is prejudiced against black people who have dark skin.
Team Nene all the way!
Hilarious how the ‘team nene’ fucktards are suddenly too politically correct and aware ! Cut it out hefers!! Where was your outrage when Nene said ‘half breed’. Where was your political correctness when Nene continuously makes disparaging remarks about gays?
It’s ok to be team nene , as long as you acknowledge she’s a douche
I’m just astounded that NeNe has one fan. I don’t understand it. I can’t think of one redeeming quality about her.
She could probably open a jar lid that is stuck. Or crack a whole lobster with her manhands.
Maybe someone has mentioned this but I think Nene may have Forced producers to reshoot some of her talking heads with a different wig (she’s wearing a blue dress with a blonde wig combed to the side) to replace the Raggedy Ann talking heads but it didn’t work because the producers are showing both
Let us sum up Nene’s read. Claudia called her:
1. Stupid for not knowing bridesmaid has an s in it.
2. Unfuckable
3. Cancelled
4. Fat
5. Cheap
6. Repossed
7. Unfashionable
8. Unstylish
9. Founding FATHER of puppet master. Did Nene not realize she was called a transvestite?
10. Felon
No wonder Nene can’t get over it? Please the only thing Claudia didn’t read for Nene were Tarot Cards.
Dark Thoughts the other thing Claudia didn’t read for Nene that I can see is her mind. You have to have one to read and obviously Nene lost her mind years ago. Lol
Runway? As in run ‘way ‘fore someone sees you wearing that hot mess.
Thank you for the transcription of the argument in the beginning of the show! I could barely understand what NayNay was saying! I even rewinded it to see if she was really saying accYOUlades.
NeNe’s oldest son has been jailed for violating his parole. He is a drug abuser and irresponsible parent. His mother comports herself like any garden variety skank for public consumption. The sins of the mother have been visited on her son. Many of us may have family members with these kind of issues. But what makes me gag is the egregious lack of self awareness NeNe evinces. She’s a bitch who throws stones from inside a glass house. Finally, someone knows how to put her in her place. #Team Beautiful all day. If Kandi were a little smarter , she’d move her fat ass over to that side of the room ASAP!
Nene’s tactic is very clear. If you take notice, whatever she has heard, read or seen about her that is negative, she immediately spews it out to others as some sort of defense mechanism. She’s just louder and more aggressive so all you hear is her. Even these sayings she comes up with, So rude…etc., are all things said about her. She is not original at all. Just a loud parrot. She probably started this at a very young age because she had no self-esteem. Somebody says something about her, she immediately says it about them with the volume turned up. She’s has the emotional development of a 10 year old. And now she’s an empowered narcissist with fame and a money flow which makes her all the more obtrusive to intelligent folks. That’s why her fans have to be stupid sycophants. She’s so transparent I’m surprised a moose detector can pick her up.
White appliances are classics that never go out of style. Nene wouldn’t know about anything classic. I bet she can’t read with her mouth closed. Last year I wanted Bravo to fire Nene. I still do but now I wouldn’t mind if they kept her around a few more seasons. I enjoy watching Claudia verbally bitch slap the hell out of her. If Claudia keeps it up, others will follow. We will all get to watch Nene’s fall from her self-appointed throne. I would love to see her get an eviction notice or a car repo’ed. Wouldn’t that be lovely? I’m guessing it would only take about two seasons for her to be broke. Doesn’t she still live in a rented house?
This epi wore me out but it was also nice to see some fun. Claudia’s still going in after getting apology. As Porsha said “such a contradictory”. Please retire the fishnet and the $100k outfit, better yet retire Phaedra along with Kandi’s sex toys.
The apology surprised me. ..I think in a round about way NeNe respects Claudia for standing up to her.
sad mess of a show…
Kenya’s butt looks ridiculous I’m sorry!! Why do that stuff so that your butt looks like two bricks? Are butt enhancements reversible? Also did she have stomach lipo? I like kenya but the butt needs to go!
Yeah, I like Kenya too but the butt looks as fake as Kim Kardashian. It seems to high from a front angled view and so unnatural. Butts just don’t grow like that for the most part. I was wondering also, what these ladies are going to do when middle age hits and their asses spread and grow. I think Kenya has had lipo around her stomach and waste. Maybe not a great doctor.
There is a weird mark on her chiseled stomach, I wondered if thats where they went in! Here i am thinking she worked hard for the body! So disappointed!
I know a couple people who’ve had lipo on their stomachs and it all depends on the skill of the doctor and if he can smoothly remove the fat because it takes skill and experience to get a natural appearance. That stomach fat is not in precise locations. And for both of them, it just had a look that you could tell something was done. Kenya has that look on her stomach. I’ve seen quite a few “Hollywood” stomachs with that look. I think she does work out hard, but she got some surgical enhancements for sure.
For the life of me, I can’t figure out why anyone would want a big ass. I have one and I hate it. I exercise and diet…sometimes. No matter what I do, I have a big ass. The rest of my body isn’t too bad for my age (as long as it’s completely dark and the lights are out) but my ass has been big since I hit 40. If I could afford it, I’d get it nipped, sucked and tucked or whatever it is they do to minimize butt size but I can’t. I simply cannot imagine actually paying to make it bigger. When Claudia said she wanted a butt like Kenya’s it blew my mind. I had a friend over that night and asked him which butt her preferred. He said Claudia’s. I agreed 100%. I understand that most of us women aren’t happy with our body images, but bigger butts? Why? Kenya has a great figure but I think Claudia’s is better.
Porsha is truly dumb. If ever you are fortunate to date a wealthy business person. Dont waste this golden opportunity by having him buy you shoes and bags. Let him teach you how to get rich yourself ( how/what to invest in etc). I love my baby and thank god I met him ( no gold digger) but instead of having him buy me all these material things all the time, I instead asked him how to make and save my money. In a year , with his advice. I was able to pay of all my 60k student loan in two years no help from him. And yes its all legal.
You obviously don’t know how whoring works. Or blackmail. Porsha does.

HI TT. Yes I know how whoring and blackmail works. But your cookie only stays fresh so long until it crumbles. Like you [sic], said she is currently allegedly selling it like a girl scout in high season. Right now she is the new girl on the block, everybody want some of that. But better, faster, younger, prettier, more willing to do nastier things for dollars is coming up behind you ( it always dose). Make hay while the sun shines. While you have this man’s exclusive attention and his willingness to have him do anything for you. why not get a free education from the CEO. Any idiot can get a man to buy her a bag. A true gold digger gets a man to help her build her corporation ( allegedly Leah Black) then dumps his ass for a new model.
Ohhhh nooo— please say it ain’t so!
Tamara, from my own understanding of the Nigerian community, those in positions of power are, well…not to be toyed with (to put it mildly)…especially if she’s traveling consistently to the country. Whoring, I think she may have a handle on, but blackmail? She is no match for what awaits her there if she tried that. If she’s spending any degree of time in Lagos and was seriously trying her hand at blackmail, that could land her an unexpected sightseeing trip to Area F. If you have any friends from there have them explain in detail what goes down there in detail…I will only say that the level of authorized corruption, brutal violence, (and the extortion fees you have to pay to authorities to avoid it) makes the controversial police actions we’ve recently seen in America look like a day at Romper Room. She’d better slow her roll, because once you disappear in Lagos, no one is going to hear your cry .
She is not traveling to Lagos. She’s traveling to Decatur.

@Forbes List, that’s the way to go girl! Porsha unfortunately did not get (or could not read) the memo on this one. She is playing it all backwards (backing it up?) At some point her cute crocodile looks will start to fade and what will she have to show for it? She might end up doing favors for ass inflation injections or embezzling hair from her “hair line.” Ok I will stop now.
I never watch RHOA because I just can’t handle how the women behave and even more, I can’t tolerate their complete inability to speak correctly. These recaps and comments amused me, so when I flipped on Bravo yesterday and RHOA was on, I watched for about 30 minutes…Yep, my initial reaction to this show remains. These women are just insufferable. From all the “reading” of one another, to the mangling of the English language…do they ever do anything interesting? I just can’t.
For the best since I really don’t need to add another show to my viewing list.
Maybe Demetria lost favor with production because of that scene with her 1/2 hour performance in Puerto Rico. She’s dated a guy off-n-on for what, 8 years, he’s very connected and yet she hasn’t really gotten her musical work off the ground. She goes on HW with the most nakedly ambitious goal of exposure, promotes this “concert” and it only gets maybe 2 minutes coverage? I would bet money she lost her cookies over that and was completely peeved they didn’t spend the same amount of time as the show did covering Tardy. I can just hear her saying something inane like “wait until I call Roger Bobb, he owns Atlanta, blah blah”
She comes off as polite but it reads to me as someone who is really studied in “work the crowd face” versus “who I am off camera”.
I am not offended by Claudia’s statements for the simple fact that I’ve already seen Claudia in action (where her gigs are concerned) to make the distinction between being paid to be a shock jock, working alongside other urban comics who employ “rough” and “insult” comedy, which is not personal and part of their profession, vs. being in a personal fight with someone where your intention is to malign their character and hit them where it hurts in a fit of anger. Foxxhole was a rough ass show where they not only roasted celebrities, but would rake each other over the coals “playing the dozens” every day. Jordan, Jamie Foxx, Johnny Mack and Speedy were brutal alright, but they represented a legitimate genre in comedy where you know what you’re getting when you listen to them and it’s usually not pretty, nor for the faint -hearted. But they always included themselves in their on-air roasts, and like most shock jocks & rough comics who go blue, they were definitely equal-opportunity offenders. It’s a marked difference between that for me and what Nene did, which basically amounted to a hit dog hollering.
Demetria can sing…
