So of course Steve introduces Phaedra as a “southern belle.” I tell you what. I like a lot of things about Steve Harvey but I don’t think he far above Phaedra on the food chain. I know he has a lot of skeletons with his ex and his kids. He seems to give good advice, but I’m not sure that the company he keeps and admires makes him much of an example. I don’t want to believe that, but I am starting to. As he is doing the intro, they are showing the cover of her book. Didn’t that book come out in like 1979?
They show the clip where she tells her mama that she wonders if Apollo is suicidal or psychotic. Steve introduces her as his buddy. Which is really all I need to know about Steve Harvey. The audience is very loud in their welcome.
Phaedra is in all black dress and looks lovely despite the two extra large caterpillars she is using as eyelashes. Steve asks her what she was thinking in that video. She was thinking, ” I’m going to make this man look like a total nut case and divorce myself from him as much as possible while this show is still filming.” And on Steve Harvey she is thinking, “Okay, try to seem relatable to women…” So she starts with her,” like many women….. I had an idea of the American dream and I thought I was living it so this was sort of like the death of a dream.” Okay. I am not going to be able to transcribe this nonsense. I’m going to have to do more of a purple pen interpretation for you.
Has she always had a super big top lip? Because it seems like she is having trouble talking because she is not used to her lips. I am so busy watching them I cannot focus on what she is saying. 
Steve says she is handling this all so very well. She is amazing. But when the cameras off is it tough? She says that it is tough because she is on a reality show where people think they know here. Phaedra says “Reality is not always real.” No, no it is not and we don’t believe anything that was shown about you and Apollo this season. I wonder if Phaedra knows she does HAVE to be on a reality show and she could stop being on talk shows and just sit her ass at home and take care of her kids and try to get them into schools for the fall.
Phaedra is going on her, I am a great mother and that is all that is important spiel. You’ve heard(but not seen) it all before.
Steve asks about the housewives and asks I they have been good friends. She says, the show is called housewives, not good friends. She says they have not been supportive. Then she corrects herself and says that Porsha and Nene have been very supportive. Please note on the reunion when the Princess of Thotland gets read by half the cast that Phaedra does not open her mother to support Porsha. Nor does Nene. She tries to make it seem that Nene and Porsha were supportive because of their similar experiences with public divorce. You know, it is has nothing to do with the fact that those three could not get along with the rest of the cast.
Steve goes on to talk about the mortician nonsense. He asks how that came about. I have the DVR paused so I can type this. I am going to hit play now and see if she says anything like, “Well, I began to realize that my husband was being investigated by the feds. It was important for me to find another line of work in case I was implicated and lost my license to practice law. And if things all blew over, there would be legitimate business with access to all sorts of financial information about dead people. Plus, I’ve always liked dead bodies.” Let’s listen…Steve cracks some jokes and she doesn’t have to answer that question other than to say, “you can’t bury yourself!”
Phaedra’s mom is Steve’s biggest fan. Phaedra says she never goes anywhere with her but she watches Family Feud and this show every day. So who is home with the boys? Steve makes a comment about Phaedra’s mother wearing her black leather pants to the show. She gets up and half models half twerks. He runs out to hug her.
Steve talks about what a great attorney Phaedra is and in the next segment she joins him to participate in his recurring segment Harvey’s Law where he often gives advice like, “Burn their house down.” So Phaedra is just fine for this sort of legal advice.
The first client is a lady who uploaded a photo of her and her 3 month old daughter. It went viral and now people are pretending like her kid is theirs. She says this is a new trend called baby role play. She wants to know if there is anything legally she can do to stop this. I can take this one. STOP POSTING YOUR CHILDREN’S PHOTOS ON THE INTERNET! I don’t know why people want to do this. Don’t post people’s pictures on the Internet. Once y’all figure out why this is a bad idea it is too late. But I know y’all aren’t gonna listen and are going to keep on loving your selfies and Instagram accounts. Just remember when things go terribly wrong, I done tole you so! Oh and the mother put the picture on the show as well. Phaedra says she never puts her kids pictures out there on the Internet because once it is out there it is out there. This is the correct answer, but SHE PUTS HER KIDS ON TV and her HOUSE on TV! Everybody knows where she is because she announces her every move on the Internet. She says one thing and does another. There ought to be a word for that… Steve says that she needs to stop posting photos of her baby. And that there are a lot of people with ugly babies that will steal your pictures.
The other case is a lady who goes to a chain restaurant frequently with her husband and they have the same server who takes very good care of them. However, one day he was really off and did not provide good service. She told the guy with a smile, normally you are an A+ server and today you are a C! He screamed at her and cussed her out and embarrassed her in front of the whole restaurant. She spoke with the manager who said he would take care of it. He did nothing. Can she sue for mental anguish. Okay, look lady. Maybe the guy is going though menopause. As someone dealing with this issue it is my first diagnosis for everyone whether they have a vagina or not. Whatever his problem is, he was great to you on many occasions and was an asshole once. You want to SUE A WAITER for mental anguish? Sit your ass down. Can you sue? Yes. You can sue the fucking Dali Lama for mental anguish. That doesn’t mean you will win. You need to suck it up. There are mean people in the world. Some people are just born mean, some people are going through some shit, everybody had a bad day. You are a cunt satchel. Phaedra says: You can sue anybody for anything that you want. (She should know). She says in this situation, you have to wonder if it is worth your time. The average civil lawsuit runs about 18 months. She says is it worth the time and money for a $50-$75 meal? Steve says because she was pregnant at the time she probably still has post partum (depression) she should just go back and sit in his section and just let him have and go off. Clearly, Steve doesn’t know what post partum is. He seems to have it confused with menopause.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN I AM MAKING EVERYTHING ABOUT MENOPAUSE? Shut UP!
Too funny and right on point. I wish Phaedra would stop trying to make the only-Nene-and-Porsha-were-supportive story line happen. There are people whose spouses go to jail everyday and people who get divorced everyday, and guess what, they just keep it moving. Why does anyone, including Kandi, need to check in with her on a daily basis for support?
There are people who comment here that I consider dear friends. If I was going through a situation and they called me every day, I’d lose my mind. Let alone 8 colleagues. The phone works both ways. If she wanted to share her sorrows with Kenya, Claudia, Demetria, Cynthia or Kandi, she could have called them.

I can’t figure out Phaedra’s motive for continuing to say that Nene and Porsha have been supportive; filming is over, it seems Nene isn’t coming back, and Porsha is basically a detriment, so what is the payback?
Beth, I think she is vindictive (and stubborn) enough to keep trying to make Kandi feel bad. Probably wanted to even more after Kandi said in the group and in her talking heads that basically Phaedra is being ridiculous to expect that of Kandi.
You are correct about Steve . He’s not a good guy . He’s the msm version to Phedra
I tried to watch this show. I could only stand about 5 min. Such BS out of her mouth the second she started talking. And like you, I feel a different kind of way about Steve after his calling her his “buddy”. I was hoping you would post so I could come here for the story. Got me out of watching all the fakeness of Mrs. Apollo Nida. Wasn’t it just too, too much?
I didn’t watch the show, but thanks for the recap. There is also the nature of the crimes for which Apollo was convicted. I consider them them to be awful crimes that ruin people’s lives and finances, and while I find Phaedra to be o.k., not once has the reason he is going to jail been mentioned. What he did wan not o.k. She had to know something was going on. I know it is unfair to judge somebody by what their spouses have done, but I’m not so sure she didn’t know. I’m glad she has her delightful children.
I find them less delightful when their limited toddler vocabulary includes “Gucci coat!”
God, low class label whores. (Phaedra & Co., not the boys. Not calling the kids whores just yet!) 😉
Steve Harvey + Phaedra Parks is too much BS on one TV screen. I can’t stand either one of them because both are low-down, dirty snakes who hides behind Christianity to do evil and get away with it . I don’t know why either one of them have fans.
Damn, she is really trying to end her friendship with Kandi. Now Kandi is usually a tough girl she has been trying to give Phaedra the benefit of the doubt but it is clear she did not value her friendship with Kandi. She probably is done with it because she and Todd is in Paris. And they have their own show.
Great blog and I’m so glad I passed on watching the bullshit. Phaedra is so phony I can’t keep a civil tongue in my mouth. Maybe I will sue her for mental anguish 😉 BTW, doesn’t everyone want to watch a Reverend in leather (probably pleather) doing a half twerk? Gawd.
It was bad. Where is Phaedra’s father? Divorced? Remarried? Because…I suffer from CRS and it seems worse than usual today.

I need to read the commenting rules.
I’m about 20 years away from menopause, but I have hormone problems that are causing memory problems. My memory problems got so bad I lost my way home one day. I got out of my car, and I realized I wasn’t standing in front of my house. Acupuncture is helping me A LOT. Maybe it can help you too? Just a thought.
When I read about the Revered mother doing her leather-pants-dance I couldn’t help but think of that Usher/Ne-Yo song I’ve been hearing on the radio so much lately.
“Shawty, I don’t mind if you dance on a pole. That don’t make you a ho…You can twerk it while in a split, you racking up them tips. Your body rock and your booty poppin’, I’m proud to call you my bitch.”
And don’t forget Nene and Porsha too. Sweet mother of pearl!!!
Steve acts like every guest is awesome. Yes, that makes him an idiot. Phaedra is….exhausting. Thank you for watching it for us.
I still cant get over this woman wanting to sue. So this waiter gives you great service every day and he has an off day and you feel the need to point it out to him. Something tells me you are a cunt satchel and after grinning and bearing it one too many times, the waiter went nuts. Good for him. Hope he sues you for harrassment.
I agree.
We went there all the time and he was so nice to us so I had to tell him he was being “bad help” and I wanted him to get back to kissing my ass. WTF?
On Mon, Apr 6, 2015 at 7:52 PM, Tamara Tattles wrote:

Ha ha ha! That was too funny, but exactly. Some people are so frigging stupid.
And I’m just wondering: how does she know the manager did nothing?
I mean, I wouldn’t if I were the manager, but maybe when the waiter came in the next day, the manager said, “Hey, just remember to keep your cool around that crazy bitch.”
God, some people a fucking nuts.
If a customer complains does this crazy women think the mgr comes on the dining room floor if front of all the guests and does a public flogging. Did she want him fired for one bad service? I’m sure after his shift the mgr called him in the office and discussed his behavior and probably wrote him up for it but afterwards you don’t have to wear the write up like a scarlet letter on your uniform. If Steve Harvey told her to go back and sit in section again that’s really bad advice. I would be expecting a spit burger after all of that. That lady needs to go to Burger King where she can have it her way and stand her ass in line to get the food and pick her lazy ass up and walk to the trash can herself to clean off the table if she doesn’t understand how hard that waiters job is and that he may have just been very busy or having a rough day.
Word.
Crazy lady would be better off spending her money on cooking classes rather than attorney fees. Then she could cook for herself and not have to get her panties in a bundle when a waiter is having a bad day.
If that were me and my regular waiter, I’d say something like you don’t seem like yourself today. Everything OK? Because you know that a) something was going on in his life or b) this woman is a bitch and he just finally lost it on her one day.
I hope Kandi understands that Phaedra’s campaign to make everyone believe she is a bad friend isn’t much different than Phaedra’s two year campaign to label Kenya as a whore. Phaedra and Nene are very good at this. Hopefully Kandi continues to distance herself from Phaedra. Eventually Phaedra will pay for this mistake when Nene turns on her which should happen any minute now.
That’s a great point. She just isn’t being as outrageous as she was with Kenya. but Kandi’s about as slow as Porsha so she probably still hasn’t figured it out.
Kandi should realize how Phaedra is by what she did to Kenya with the whore mongering. Now, she’s facing the wrath of Phaedra. If she continues to be her friend, she can expect some backstabbing in her future, and Nene…please, the countdown to the fallout is sure to come.
You are so funny Tamara. They need to give you Steve Harvey’s show so you could tell Phaedra how it really is. LOL
Thanks for the recap! Because of the heads up from TT that she was going to be on the show, I set my DVR yet couldn’t bring myself to watch it; so thanks for freeing up my DVR space! On a severely off-topic issue (forgive me please because this has been bugging me): In the very beginning of RHOA, wasn’t Phaedra’s claim to fame the fact that she was Bobby Brown’s atty? So, with the Bobbi Kristina tragic situation, why is Phaedra not on his legal team? The fact that she’s on reality tv doesn’t seem like it would be a deterring factor for the Brown family (ahem..), so is there any tea on why she’s not representing him now? I’m probably grasping at straws here but am curious. Thoughts?
Phaedra was the flunky who had to go to court with Bobby Brown at some point. She was never his “go to attorney.” As happens with many D listers in the ATL they have trouble getting around to paying their attorney. BB has been through DOZENS of attorneys in town.
My attorney explains things to attys from Phaedra’s office all the time. Allegedly.

Thanks for clearing that up and serving tea simultaneously! Makes sense now.
We saw an example of that with the Sheree vs Bob Whitfield court scene on RHOA. Phaedra kept referring to some other “mystery attorney” that she was consulting with when Bob Whitfield “outwitted” her in court.
Thanks because Phaedra was not Sheree’s real attorney. That whole scene was fake.

Can I sue for mental anguish? That lady made me so upset I felt that the human race failed. Maybe he just found out he has cancer, or someone he love died and he couldn’t bring himself to be chipper. Compassion would have led her to say “you seemed a little down today I hope thing turn out okay” as she left with a bigger tip. Self absorbed cunt satchel.

I confess. I hate every one of these pretentious, obnoxious Housewives of Hell. I never watch any of the shows…except when Tamara is so funny that I get curious and watch the episode. TT is way more entertaining than “reality” television. I started reading TT during the Jodi Arias trial and got hooked, so now I have to find Phaedra on Steve Harvey so I can giggle at her trying to “…get used to her lips.” So funny.
Full on phony all the way. Before I get to Phaedra what was her Mom, the Reverand, wearing and doing when she stood up? Phaedra tried to appeal to women with the “I’ve been wronged by what I thought was a good man and now my focus is on my kids” story. Kandi certainly won’t be happy with her saying Porsha and NeNe have beenher support. Phaedra looked like a deer in headlights for the silly legal question segment. But Steve had Porsha in a segment as a stylist. Surprised when Steve said he and Phaedra are friends. Don’t normally watch him but see the previews following Days of Our Lives and try to watch when housewives are on. On a positive, Phaedra seemed engaged and charming, and much younger. Maybe she got that coffee enema in Manila!
She must have had professional makeup done differently than usual because she looked great. She looked the prettiest I’ve ever seen her.
Forget to ask what’s the tea with Steve Harvey “skeletons with ex and kids”? That got me curious. ..
I wonder if she used the mortician credentials (she did pass, didn’t she?) to bury some of their assets?
graduating from a college program does not give you a dime. In fact college degrees COST money. There is no bag of gold at the end of graduating from a mortuary course.

That wasn’t what I meant. I was thinking maybe they buried some of Apollo’s ill-gotten gain.
Well I just caved & watched the first half of this show. I was actually going to sleep tonite but now I have a major problem…RE the chick posting baby pics. So fucking stupid! Wtf people? I’m probably going to get slammed on here but it is 2015 & I don’t do facebook, twitter, instagram, etc. No lie; I only do email & very recently found this blog & learned to comment. I do this by choice and as an example for my kids. Rule in my house is no social media until you are reach age of legal adult. If I had pics plastered all over the internet of stupid shit I did or said when I was young I could A) never get a job, and B) be too embarrassed to leave the house. My oldest is now on a full academic scholarship in college & after all the bitching during middle & high school, has actually thanked me for this rule! So many of her peers got denied to their choice of colleges for shit they posted when they were too young to know better. I haven’t caved & I’m alive to tell this. I still hear the whining & moaning from one in high school. But, all the time that would be spent updating status, posting pics, etc. is spent actually studying & my kids have awesome grades. I also don’t have to worry about their pictures ending up on the back page of craigslist which is an added bonus. They are not socially inept because, in contrast, they actually talk to their friends and spend time in real life with them. I require good grades, at least one sport, & house chores. They know this up front & also know there is software & phone tracking in case they want to get sneaky. I pay tuition, bills, computers. It’s my property that they have privilege of using. Same goes with cars- they each have to sign a driving contract. So far, each has turned out with 4.0, & scholarships that save me money in tuition, they have manners, varsity sports & well-liked. By no means are they perfect (who is?), but I feel I’ve given them tools to have flourishing futures without anything on the internet to bite them in the ass later that could ruin their hard work in one fail swoop. I also realize I can’t protect them from everything or everyone, but this cuts their chances down quite a bit. Sorry for rant but I am very hormonal & this hit huge nerve.
Okay, now haters go ahead & blast me….
let me be the first to blast you. WALL OF WORDS! Paragraphs are your friend. But I read most of it because it was you. And I like you and I am in the less of a bitch part of my cycle. 🙂
I’ve mentioned before that I was written up and blessed out on three occasions when I taught a heavily Hispanic population and during the meet the teacher conference when we gave parents ten thousand things to sign ( mostly related to free lunch, code of conduct, etc) I actually had someone translate the forms and told parents they did not have to sign the one about letting us blast their kids all over the Internet. I of course had by far the fewest number of parents who signed. So when my Prince decided he wanted to disrupt my class with his favorite dick sucker doing a??? thingy??? that required him to teach something and put it online I informed him we did not have partental consent for that.
WRATH OF PERSON WHO THOUGH HE WAS GOD OCCURRED. We had to go through the whole process again. Again I told my parents I was asked to resend the forms because he did not believe I had presented them the first time and again it was not required and entrirely your choice. We got like 3 people who probably were not paying attn. to send forums.
PRINCE NEARLY HAD A STROKE.
I got written up because I refused myself to be photographed for workplace promotion and had a deal with my Internet guy to keep my full name off the Internet. You see, this is not my first Internet rodeo. The creepy freaks on Twitter are amateurs compared to where I earned my Internet stripes. Those shitknuckles were calling CPS, Immigration, the IRS, employers, husbands, wives, parents and children over Internet feuds. I don’t deal with any of those sorts of relationships or agencies now. I work for myself, and the little family I have would not be surprised by anything anyone has to say.
I quit going to family functions for a few years because they thought for a while it was cute to try to take a photo of the family member that doesn’t want to be on Facebook. (BTW, if you are this jackass in your family please stop. It’s such a personal violation and not a game at all.)
I have never had the pleasure of having a child that was mine to navigate through this scary world and teach it how to make it. But if I did, I would not be posting it’s photo on the Internet EVER. Not even in a place that was very private. I would not be giving any descriptions of where they go to school or any identifying info. In fact, I just tweeted briefly with someone from the Internet cesspool where we all learned the rules many, many years ago. I know he got married and has kids and he said something about the boy child. That is exactly what he calls him on the Internet and to me. I actually have no idea if the boy child is 4 or 14 and it’s none of my business or anyone elses.
I predict in 20 years it will be illegal to post children’s posts online. You can laugh now and believe me later. The world is not a nice place. The Internet is much rougher. You may think you are just calling someone a cunt satchel with anonymity but you are not.
Which is also why you should be armed to the teeth, with guns with a good green night laser and shoot first and ask questions later.
Or keep advertising your kid. You can sign the release form if you want to.
See? I didn’t say anything to deter them at all Mr. Principal.

Alright, I’m SO gonna be able to find your kids! The oldest got a full ride to college. There is at least one more in high school. They got straight As, I may find a contract in their gloveboxes, and they have social media accounts under fake names.
Oh, yeah. You shared too much. I’m sitting in your driveway as I write this..!
I don’t even post my own picture. Besides, everyone knows, I am the little black kitty. That’s more me than any photo.
I can’t stand Phaedra and her phoniness. She disgusts me.
One of your best recaps yet Tamara! I know menopause is a bitch but it seems to make your writing even better than it already was. My poor mother went through the change when she was about 50. I felt so bad for her. My father was a doll about it. He’d let her yell her head off at him and throw things until she’s get all the anger and hormonal bullshit out of her system. And my daddy weren’t no sissy boy either. He was just smart enough to know when to shut the fuck up. :0)
Anyway…I used to adore Steve Harvey. He’s a very talented comedian. Anyone who isn’t familiar with his work needs to look up the Kings of Comedy. Laugh out loud funny. However, at some point he found Jesus. That in itself is not necessarily a bad thing. Problem is Steve found Jesus at the bank. After he shaved his head and I saw him on TLN (a.k.a. the Jesus channel) I knew something had gone horribly wrong. Now he doesn’t cuss or do sex jokes or anything fun anymore. Ugh. He’s still a smart, witty man, but I just can’t. The fact that Phaedra is his buddy makes me sad. On a side note: Phaedra’s momma, doing that shit on TV, makes Porsha look like a sensible old orthopedic shoe. Makes me wonder about her old ass too. Just saying.
Feel better Tamara!
In the near past “Reverand” Regina Bell has been accused of “witch-doctory”, black arts, and mixing up of toxic potions used in the back street abortion of many babies. Very unusual accusations against a pastoral representative.
Shit-damn! Yah, I think I read TT post something about that re: the Stanton case. Which reminds me: Where’s that update Tamara was talking about?! Jesus ain’t fixed shit yet! The part of me that still believes in happily ever after needs to see all of shit Phaedra’s been giving everybody get shoved right back up her ass. This season I watched and listened to Apollo very closely. He seemed to have been talking in code regarding his crimes, intimating the whole while that he had an accomplice he didn’t wish to implicate for whatever reason. ;0) And w/ Pastor Regina, the apple doesn’t fall far does it?
ALLEGEDLY!

Hey yourself and duly noted. Tip ‘o the hat.
Thanks Minky. If we were allowed to tell people to google things here, which we are not, one might suggest a google of the term gospel of prosperity or religions of prosperity…. or something.
The theory of that is God’s plan for our life is to make as much money as possible. Of course this is THE OPPOSITE OF WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS but the preachers need a way to explain the mansions and cars and watches the congregation is buying for them. It’s the Rich Bitch Church of Christ that Steve Harvey is a full member of (as is Dr. Phil and many others, T.D Jakes, etc) religion, if you are doing it right in those megachurches is about accruing wealth above all things.
That is Steve Harvey’s religion, Nene Leakes Religion and worst of all Phaedra Parks religion. Phaedra hawks her ridiculous book after appearing at churches where she signs the book and takes up a love offering. Allegedly. I mean does it seem weird to anyone else that she goes on church tours to sell a book that is not religious?
Sorry I am rambling tonight. It’s late and I can’t get settled.
I would like to rant on about Porsha’s alleged whoring and her method of income being referred to as God’s blessing. But I’ll shut up. I mean I am all for her being a whore if that is her career choice. Her body, her choice, more power to her. But when she goes on Instagram and says that God has blessed with an $80k handbag, my head explodes. Go on, get you pretty pocketbook, Porsha. But don’t act like it came from God, it came for your Johns and that hairy twat of yours must really be something for guys who dream of sex with Arsenio Hall. You have the market cornered.

Your “ramblings” have me laughing, Tamara. You are right on the mark, as usual, no need to explain.
PREACH, TT, preach!
I agree TT. God wants his people to be fruitful and prosper. That means taking a modest pay and living a humble life if your a preacher. Living your life in the gluttony that is wealth and excess goes against what Jesus lived.
It sickens me when I see selling Gods mssg. on tv thru books, cd’s, and dvd’s. Gods word is not for sale. If he gave you a word it should go out freely to people so it can reach everyone. Shaming the old and poor into financial struggles so they can buy a blessing is just sinful.
Then let’s not forget weekly offering, missionary fund, building fund. If you want to take an offering that’s fine but all these other funds should come from that offering. If you as a paster to a pay cut the offerings should cover everything else. That second BMW, and house at the lake should cover the cost of a new church nursery or picnic shelter.
I don’t trust anyone who smiles all the time. It’s creepy, and unnatural. And it hurts. We were forced to smile like that at Disney.

For all of their scheming and machinations you’d think the preachers-always-prosper crowd would be smart enough avoid flaunting their obscene ill gotten gains. Like, if they have to be on the TV they could at least pretend to be living a descent middle-class lifestyle, sans the McMansions, flashy automobiles, and making it rain at the strip club like Apollo. No one expects or wishes for them to live in abject poverty, but come on now! Steve Harvey himself, in his pre-Jesus career, actually made fun of the “building fund” and the crotchety old lady he’d sit next to when his mother would drag him to church, who cussed a lot during services, Sister Odelle.
I don’t want to hijack the blog, or go back on Disney’s radar. I’ll just say this: If you go to the parks with your kids, DO NOT let them out of your sight. And have them wear distinctive shoes. Colors out of the norm.
If you want more detail, contact me on twitter, or you can get my email from TT.
@CatFanatic9 to find me on twitter. I can give you my email from there, so you don’t have to bug TT. 🙂
You could give Steve Harvey or any other comedienne a run for their money. The laughs just keep coming reading your recaps, and your information is so on point. So much of what you’ve reported has come to pass. Thank you, TT, you’re a doll.
Oh my gosh- my first visit to your site and I landed on this article. Love it! I, too, am really bothered by women who play the victim. She married an ex con, had two kids with him, and is putting everything on the guy now. Take some responsibility for your actions, ladies.
Ha ha welcome to your new addiction! TT is highly likely to cause dependency. And laughing so hard your absolutely hurt.
My 80-year-old neighbor watches Steve Harvey every day. I’ll have to ask her what she thought of Phaedra. She doesn’t watch any of the RH shows, so her impression of Phaedra should be interesting since she’s never seen her in action.
Fix it Jesus! When does this woman find time to be with her children?
The more I hear her repeat how Ne and porsha have been supportive the more scripted it sound….sounds like she rehearsed it as much as she did that scripted shade she gave kenya last year
Who cares about Phaedra and her fake interview. Where is the synopsis on the Shahs?
The shahs are even worse!
TT
A number of years ago, when we were living in ATL, My plethora of auto-immune diseases decided that monthly hormone shower took too much energy from their wicked doings. Not taking that shower is almost as bad!! Now when I see all of those commercials abt these new-fangled doodads for that monthly shower, it makes me miss it, in a strange unsettling way! Is that crazy or not!?
Isn’t Mamma Phaedra a little too old to be wearing leather on her lower half? On one hand, you have to applaud her confidence, but on the other hand, you gotta wonder why no one stopped her before she left the house! I think we all probably had the same speech from our dad – “no daughter of mine is going anywhere dressed like that!” Or, is it true that the older we get, the younger our mind becomes. Kinda like letting your toddler dress themselves…plaid shirt with neon polka dot britches, with frog socks and knock-off Earth shoes or CRocs or jellies!
Do they still make Garanimals, and do they make them in adult sizes?
TT , are you not into Southern Charm? I figured you would recap that Trainwreck ?! Lol!
Oh yeah, wonder how Mamma Regina got into those leather britches…do you think that she had to have help? Or do you think that she was rubbed down with olive oil like a roasted chicken, or do you think that she jumped up and down while someone else tried to pull those britches up? Remember when Ross from ‘Friends’ had to go potty with his leather pants on? The powder and lotion and baby oil? That was funny and can’t you just picture her doing that? Or, did she lay on the edge of the bed and try to stuff herself into them? Oh, the possibilities!
Oh how I wish Angela Stanton, wearing a disguise, was one of the folks from the audience asking for legal advice. One word to describe Phadera is brazen for sure.
Let me guess, you don’t like Phaedra. I love Steve Harvey! I don’t care if he’s not perfect. His personal life, is well…personal.
Perfect recap TT. I haven’t seen the episode, and don’t normally watch SH, but I will see if I can find it online somewhere just to check out Rev. Reginas’ luscious leather pants. She is rather a “large” woman so I can’t picture her in anything that looks like leather. As for the mega-churches there in the ATL and everywhere else, I have a lot of questions about those. They fascinate me. I hope you will begin to feel better soon TT.
Phaedra belongs behind bars and I would hope her actions land her there at some point. Have you even read about the Angela Stanton case? Sure Steve Harvey is entitled to a personal life but when on TV, interviews, etc that usually opens the door to the general public re skeletons falling out of a celebrities closet (whether they are A list or F list) especially from the people purporting to be experts in various subject matter. Granted I believe children should be off limits for anyone. Let kids grow up in peace, they didn’t ask to be born to famewhore parents. Personally I know nothing about Steve Harvey’s past but plan to do some research now. Have a fabulous evening.
”Have you even read about the Angela Stanton case?”
You know how people say there is no such thing as a dumb question? People lie.

TT, I meant for my comment to be for Gemini. Not sure how it didn’t end up under hers. I only know about Stanton because of your coverage.
OH! lol. That makes sense. I was like, wtf? I’ve covered every second of that trial for like two years. Carry on. 🙂
