It’s never a good thing when a blogger has to share information with her readers about one of her favorite reality people. In fact, I often find other things to blog about when my favorites are amid a scandal. I give people the benefit of the doubt a lot more when I like them cough Brooks cough. I need to see the receipts. I need to KNOW things.
I don’t KNOW a lot of things for sure about things like the Real Housewives of Orange County. I get some occasional tidbits. I know some things. But I certainly don’t know the health records of a man someone dated on the show. So I give the benefit of the doubt. But I KNOW shit about RHOA. And what I know is that Claudia Jordan, whom I adore, was not asked back to RHOA. I KNOW that when pickup letters went out she did NOT get one. I can prove this in a court of law. There is no need for the word, allegedly.
Claudia tweeting the post on the right which is clearly about her day rate pay to attend Cynthia Bailey’s eyewear launch and perhaps future spots is in poor form. It’s clear she is pissed she was not on the premiere.
I love Claudia. I wanted her on this season of RHOA more than anyone. She is beautiful. She is spunky. She is smart. But she was also not asked back. At least not as a full housewife. She was asked back to make appearances. She was offered a day rate just like Amiyah Scott, Marlo Hampton and others who were at Cynthia’s Eyewear Launch and a few other things.
Housewives are often asked back to make an appearahttp://tamaratattles.com/2015/11/10/brandi-glanvilles-new-show-is-couples-therapy-for-single-people/#nce on future season. Don’t believe me just ask Marlo, Camille, Taylor, Adrienne and many others. But what appears to have happened her is that her appearance did not make the season premier of RHOA. So she is feeling some kinda way. And that kinda way seems tacky to me.
My sources made it clear to me that Claudia was trying to come back on to RHOA for quite a while. At that time the focus of RHOA was supposed to be relationships. And it seems they forged ahead with that even though Porsha’s relationships seems more like a business and Kenya’s relationships are more..um.. searching for the one, and Phaedra’s relationship will (ALLEGEDLY) be her looking for love while her husband is in prison and Cynthia’s relationship will take the front burner. And then Claudia went off to the next thing. Trying to sell a show with her and Demetria McKinney. A show I would LOVE to watch. I love her and Demetria. And Claudia landed a show called The Next 15 about reality people trying to stay famous. It’s produced by Carlos King. I’ll watch it because she is in it. Again, I’m a fan.
But her recent social media activity where she seems to be trying to pretend that RHOA asked her back and posting “evidence” from a production person who merely asks to confirm her day rate for showing up at Cynthia’s eyewear launch is ridiculous.
It’s beneath Claudia. Stop giving your distractors things to hate and your supporters reasons to give you the side eye. You lost your peach, Claudia. I’m mad about it too. But don’t be a bitch about it.
The bigger tea is that Claudia supposedly pushed out Marlo Hampton for her newest role on The Next 15 which will air on TVOne . And really sugar, if you could have been on RHOA, you would not be on a show on a channel no one knows about with “New York” from one of those VH1 shows where the cast literally shits on the floor. This may be worse than Brandi Glanvilles new show. You totally burned bridges with this Twitter shit. Hell, they let SHEREE WHITFIELD come back and she has allegedly been living in an apartment sleeping on an air mattress for FOUR YEARS!!!! (allegedly I mean how would I know about her Cobb County apartment complex) .
Girlfriend, out of love I am telling you, RHOA pays crazy stupid money to idiots with no talent, you have talent. I support you moving forward, but baby girl, outing emails form production that don’t even prove your fucking point is ludicrous! What are you thinking!
I’m surprised the email didn’t have an automatic footer preventing its publication. Unless it did and she cropped that out.
Still, very professionally immature. Her new show also sounds very….’hasbeen’.
Very stupid move. She does have talent… work that talent and don’t burn bridges.
I still like Claudia regardless we all make mistakes but I did read months back that Marlo was supposed to be on The Next 15 and I thought that’s why she wasn’t holding a peach,interesting. But let’s be honest Rhoa was boring on Sunday but Kenya and Sheree brought life back into it, bravo made a huge mistake by firing Tammy and not giving Sheree a peach. Why do the powers that be think we want to see Porsha, Phaedra and Cynthia season after season, there storylines are boring and even tho I love Kenya twirl I’m tired of her s#$% to. Give me something new and not the same BS every season, Kandi, Cynthia, Kenya, Kim, Tammy, Shamea, Sheree, Claudia and Nene would have been a bomb cast. Bravo just can’t get it right with Rhoa and the ratings show that.
I think I heard about TV1 on WWHL with Vivica Fox and thought it was a British channel, couldn’t figure out why Andy mentioned it…
It’s hard when believing in someone who is a waste of your “pom poms”. Claudia was…I’m not even going to continue this….
I wish Claudia would have been cast on “Brandi Glanville’s” new show. I would pay to watch her read Brandi.
Thanks for clearing that up Tamara. I am a huge Claudia fan and have been fighting to remain one because some of the stuff she post makes me shudder a little. I feel she’s over exposing herself and that comes off as desperate in a sense. But the email she posted, I took from it that she was invited back but on stand by at a day for the entire season’s filming period July-November so I can see why she didn’t accept this if she could book something more permanent or with better pay for that time period. I can understand why she may be feeling some kind of way about losing her peach and so wish I knew the real story because none of it makes sense with the bits and pieces we’ve been getting. I absolutely love Claudia and am considering changing my TV service because my current provider doesn’t offer TV One and I want to see her new show. Again I love Claudia and want to see her soar the highest heights but I worry about her and how she sometimes let commenters on social media get the best of her. I am hoping for the best for CJ.
So sorry did not see other replies
Im over claudia
Funny, While I believed Brooks ‘could have had Cancer’, I never believed they asked Claudia back to be a FT HW. When you’re in, you’re in and a day rate does not make a FT HW. Her tagline last year bit her in the ass and The Next 15 does sound very thirsty akin to Brandi and PaulyD’s Famously Single show. At least she still is a darling of Carlos King
Pray that you’re better, PPP. Nothing worse than a middle-of-the-night anxiety attack. Sending you hopes for calmness and serenity. Just Breathe.
Thank you guys so much for all the help, I really appreciate it.
Feel better !
Claudia said that when she was under contract with RHOA and RSMS that HLN was interested in her and she regretted she was unable to fit it in her schedule.
If I was her, I would have asked out of the RSMS contract and take HLN up on their offer. I think Claudia could handle a news/talk/hot topics kind of show and really excel at that.
I remember I was flipping through the channels and caught her on HLN once and she was speaking quite intelligently about the stock market and she moved seamlessly from that topic to the “tabloid” Bristol Pain/celebrity gossip talk while on the show too.
I just couldn’t imagine someone like Nene or Porsha being able to do that.
I also understand why Claudia posted that. People kept trolling her on twitter saying she was fired. They even accused her of “crashing” production when she showed up to Demetria and Kandi’s music video launch party.
I think Claudia is a genuinely nice person and tries to get people to like her, and isn’t use to the twitter trolling that comes with being on the Housewives. Because some of the HW fans take the crap waaay to seriously.
Twitter people are idiots. Claudia is BFFs with Demetria. She need to ignore the idiots. All the normal people get nonrenewed.
You’re right TT! I remember Lydia from RHOC. She stood up for herself and her mother when it was appropriate. She was grounded, yet she only lasted 1 season on RHOC.
I find people like that the most entertaining. They are spunky, only interject when something concerns them or when they feel the need to defend someone/themselves.
I can but only ascertain, that there is more to this story than meets the eye.
I wonder why her appearance on viewer support didn’t work for Bravo. So many fan were rooting for her I was for sure she would be returning with a better storyline.
Claudia was to plain for rhoa .. it did make her relevant.. but she just didn’t mix well .. The only thing she had going was annoying NeNe .. Which could have worked in her favor but she went about it wrong.. Kenya mastered the art of pushing NeNes buttons and ppl grew to love her..
Honestly she should model or something. I don’t think she’s made for reality TV.. It’s just not her niche.. I started out liking Claudia, but now she irks me.. And for the love of Buddha, can someone get her a stylist that does not secretly hate her.! She’s so beautiful but her hair and some of her outfits make me go … Why why why
Um, Claudia has been modeling all her life. She still has many modeling gigs. She’s also quite intelligent. And has a degree in journalism. She’ll be just fine.
I’m aware shes been modeling all her life .. That’s what she should stick to.. And intelligent or not she’s not made for reality TV.. And clearly not radio either .. Maybe she should try being a broadcast journalist.. Her personality is kind of flat but she speaks well
Her personality flat? What show were you watching? She thinks very quick and is VERY witty. When Nene made fun of her for wearing a spaghetti strap her response was “you need a little less spaghetti in your diet” when Nene bragged about her clothes being “straight off the runway” Claudia said “they don’t make them in your size for the runway.” When Nene claimed to be “college educated” Claudia asked her to spell Bridesmaids.
We’ve seen Sheree go up against Nene, but all Sheree did was just get right on Nene’s level and scream ghetto insults back at her. But we’ve never seen Nene hit with those types of “reads” before.
It takes someone smart to come up with those in the heat of the moment. It was the highest rated episode of season 7. Just for that it should have earned her a peach for season 8. If it wasn’t for Claudia, season 7 would have been a snooze fest. Which is why the upgraded her from a “friend” to a peach holder.
I think Claudia’s problem is that she didn’t get enough time to film like the rest of the ladies. She was given a peach half way through the season.
She also said that she did stand up comedy and that she did very well, and that Kenya, Cynthia and Demetria came to watch. She said it was suppose to air during the finale, but Bravo only focused on “life twirls on” and Nene’s Broadway debut.
Maybe a flat personality to you is someone that doesn’t flip tables, cuss scream and throw things, have husbands arrested for fraud schemes, or criminal couples ripping off banks to get fraudulent loans???
I agree 100% with this article.
Can anyone remember a better more intelligent & fierce read than Claudia gave to the moose Nene? That alone should have insured her a spot on the show ; its not easy slaying dragons & Claudia took her down & out single handedly! !!
