In an effort to miss the Grammys because, depressing I watched Homeland, also depressing and forgot I was supposed to blog WWHL tonight. So I am behind. Let’s see if Phaedra drops any interesting information.
The other guest is Danille Brooks I have no idea who that is. Apparently she’s from Orange is The New Black. I don’t do Netflix so I’ve missed all of that. Danielle won a Grammy tonight for a song on the show.
The girl who plays Brittany Spears on next Saturday’s Lifetime biopic is the bartender. I’ve been remiss on my lesbian date night with Popcorn and Vodka lately but I definitely will have to get back to them next Saturday night. #LadyPond
Andy gives us a montage of Phaedra’s fascination with camel toe. Gross. Phaedra looks great. Her phone went off on the show. Really? She is on her full on high pitched fake southern belle mode.
Phaedra says she didn’t speak up about what she said about Kandi because she was there to bring the women together and she didn’t want to add fuel to the fire. Phaedra also verifies that the scene where she told the ladies about Kandi hooking up with Shamea was filmed without their knowledge. I believe I stated before somewhere that the ladies were on a filming break, yet still miked up when that footage was shot. Phaedra says she didn’t have a mic on. But they all did. They don’t take their mics off for shooting break. Phaedra also says that Shamea has been on the show for three years without a contract. She is clearly not a Shamea fan.
I don’t understand why there are always so many montages from that night’s show on WWHL. We clearly all watched the show.
Sidenote: I forgot all about Summer House. Apparently, it’s still a thing.
In a preview for next week, Porsha and Kandi go at each other and Kandi accuses Porsha of saying that she wanted to give Kandi oral sex until she climaxes. Really? I probably have a freak number higher than Kandi’s and that conversation is over the line even for me. Just noe.
Phaedra says that Apollo just sent her a text last night. Um, no. He might have sent an email, but not a text. She says they are cordial. She says that Apollo is “appealing the divorce.” Is Phaedra really an attorney? Apollo is not only not appealing the divorce, he is FILING FOR DIVORCE something it is becoming increasingly unlikely that Phaedra has ever done. She also acts like Apollo denied having a fiancée in court. Um, I’m pretty sure he doesn’t get to fly down to Atlanta in the middle of his sentence to testify in divorce court. I do not understand Phaedra’s bizarre stories surrounding this non-divorce.
Phaedra asked if she misses her friendship with Kandi. She says, “No.” Phaedra says that they haven’t had a conversation in three years. Andy says he likes a scene they have in their upcoming trip to Hawaii. Hmmm. What is that about?
After the break, Phaedra is asked how Apollo sent her a text from prison. She says she doesn’t know, but he did. MMMMM HMMMM. She offers to show it to Andy and he stupidly declines. Phaedra is asked if she wants Kim Biermann back on the show. She says she likes Kim and would love to see her come back. I started a post on Saturday about the ridiculous stories about the RHOA not wanting Kim and Nene back on RHOA for the tenth season. Most all of the women are still close with Nene and many of them like Kim as well. I doubt that they will both come back full time, but I would not be surprised to see as many former RHOA as possible make an appearance on season ten. But the two recent TMZ stories are hogwash.
Phaedra is asked which housewife she would like to go. She says that the show works because it is an ensemble cast and everyone plays their part. For her to say something that malicious about one of her castmates would say more about her, than them. Wow, Phaedra Parks takes the high road.
Phaedra looked beautiful tonight. Whatever her stylist she is doing looks good on her. I get Phaedra is a sanctimonious alleged criminal mastermind and her Jesus routine is sways more than most but I have seen her without makeup and she has a natural beauty and she makes beautiful little kids. I will not forget the scene where she got the news about the bomb threat and what that might mean for her boys, there are moments of genuine emotion that keep me coming back.
Andy, why oh why did you not show us the text???
Does anything remotely honest ever come out of Phaedra’s mouth? She does look nice, though.
And you’ve never watched OITNB, TT? You are missing out! I love that show. Also Goliath with Billy Bob Thornton on Amazon Prime is soo good. Weekends were made for binge streaming.
Phaedra is being nice because she wants to be back next season. She does not need anymore enemies!
I know Phaedra is shady and her buttermilk ain’t clean, but I was glad she declined to name a housewife who needs to leave. I remember when NeNe was on and said Cynthia. This was that period of time when things were strained between them, I thought that was really low. Cynthia is a class act. She is gorgeous and watches what she says. Is she kind of boring because of it . Maybe, but only because everyone else can get so damn crazy. Watching Phaedra guzzle that wine while Porsha took all the heat on the lesbian comment was something else. What Marlo said about Kenya was beyond the pale. The comment about her Mother was low even by housewives standards. Also that pathetic scene where Sheree ran down Kenya’s house with Marlo was ridiculous. Kenya’s house is gorgeous and Sheree”s still is not ready to live in years after being started. That bet between Kenya and Sheree on whose house would be ready by last Christmas, well Kenya won . Sheree stop mentioning Kenya’s house. It makes you look like a bigger loon than you are.
At first, other personalities overwhelmed my interest in Phaedra’s compulsively lying self . Her ridiculous affectations and delusions were blown out of the water by her own words, each and every week, Whatever nonsense she attempted, from the multiple (careers??) to the overblow Southern lady she momentarily affected — I’ll never forget that pitifully ridiculous little version of the minuet she thought she was being sooooo cool performing with Dwight, (with a crown of roses in her hair)- it was clear that she was unable to tell the truth on any topic ever.
As her compatriots in crime told their stories and Apollo went to prison, and she went back to high school with Nene, it was apparent that she had a good deal of ugly truth to run from, no matter which version of the stories reflected reality. And she has been desperate to fit in HER WAY , find acceptance on her terms, and be successful – in her mind- to a degree that I could almost feel sorry for her. Save a couple of things-
1) She doesn’t care who she hurts, what lie she tells, or where any of it leads, as long as she thinks she LOOKS good doing it, and she gets rich, as she sees it.
2 )While she thinks she is so intelligent to have these degrees, she is predictable and vulnerable, with all that history that could put her in jail pretty darn quickly. .
3) The problem with all of this, is that she is in the muck up to her eyeballs, endlessly tries to reach higher and wider to find unassuming types to buy her garbage stories and agendas, and thinks the more she pretends to be a leader of black women, with DC contacts, that will keep her free and clear from the law’s arrival her doorstep. but
4) Her anger, desire for revenge and to hurt others brings her right back to where she started. Now she is going for Kandi, but she has nothing and no one to rely on for real support or friendship, cause her life is a bucket of twisted lies. With friends like Porsha, IQ of 4 and maturity of a one year old, can only hurt her.
5) So she seeks whatever it is- redemption, hurting others, pretending to be trying to help- but she just keeps running until it all catches up behind her. She is so tangled in her own lies that she doesn’t know where to start.
6) And after saying all that, I would like to root for her but she makes it utterly impossible. That camp for kids in Flint had the beginnings of something good- but Phaedra lacks the depth/integrity/whatever to see that and dig in. She takes what she can get from it in praise- and moves on, to the next thing she thinks helps her look as she wants to- instead of making a real difference to kids with true need.
To me, Phaedra is a perfect example of a life spent in superficial self- indulgence and lies.
It does not appear like she will ever be adult enough to make a difference for anyone in life. Herself included.
I do not need to have her on the screen to remind me that the world is full of con artists, climbers and grifters, as we saw last night. She, Porsha, and Marlo deserve each other.
Sabrina, succinctly said ,and I applaud your observations. Thank you for saying it clearly ( I wish I could!).
Tamara, THANK YOU! Been waiting for you to say something about this NeNe and Kim. TMZ story. Now I know. Only believe it, when it’s from you. The one that tells the TRUTH (side shade). 🙂
Oops did not mean to bring my housewives opinion to the wwhl part . Well two in one though lol.
Oops did not mean to combine wwhl and my housewives comments. Oh well two for one. My bad. lol.
It’s highly possible that Phakdra said that statement about Apollo texting her to get him in trouble.. Although it may not be true (it isn’t #duh ) in her evil little mind she will at least get his cell shaken down if anyone from the prison was watching. Why does she continue with all the lies about her divorce, her “jobs” etc…? Does she really think the fans of #RHOA are that stupid as to believe her? I’m assuming she will someday go after a “job” as a politician, the only job we may actually see her do and she will be good at it as she does know how to lie on the daily….lol. Thank goodness for TT who always keeps us in the “truth loop”
TAYSTEE WAS ON WWHL?!? I am a big Orange is the New Black fan. I’m behind on my WWHL – I am watching now. Love love love her. She plays one of my favorite characters.
