This is one of those reunion episodes where I just want to get to the grand finale where Phaedra’s house of cards collapses. Maybe we will get lucky and it will be a slow and painful demise over the entire hour. As an added bonus, it seems a though Porsha will finally realize that she has been duped and no one wants to film with her anymore.
Tonight we start with the husbands on stage. Peter is drunk. I was told he made liberal use of the open bar before coming out. I feel like I have seen this episode already. I guess I just saw the previews a lot. Peter denies being unfaithful. Peter’s cummerbund is all bunched up. I guess there was no one to help him dress. Peter drunkenly interrupts Andy asking Porsha where her fake boyfriend for hire is. I cannot even pretend to recap this. Porsha is dating a football player. Peter keeps interjecting drunken thoughts. Peter needed a drink and walked off the set to find one. They actually filmed Peter’s drunken rants in the bathroom.
Come on now, we’ve wasted over fifteen minutes of airtime and we are even close to the drama starting yet. Finally, Shamea hits the couch. She is seated next to Sheree and Sheree seems really unhappy about that. Wait, the Princess of THOTlandia is now saying she is not a whore? Did someone finally tell her what a THOT is? Also, Kandi just started a sentence with “Lezbee clear..”
Porsha can’t figure out why people think she was not a good friend to Shamea. Kenya is happy to explain that Porsha didn’t stick up for Shamea, but always stood up for Phaedra. Porsha tells Kenya to “Shut the fuck up!” Several times. A long tirade of insults starts flying back and forth between Porsha and Kenya. Kenya says that Porsha looks like Elvis with that hair and that outfit. I was actually kind of liking Porsha’s look until Kenya pointed it out. She DOES look like Elvis! Kandi takes a turn with Porsha to let her know that she sure wasn’t sticking up for Shamea when implied she was in a three way with Kandi and Todd.
We get a long Frick and Frack montage. Shamea has told Porsha several times to be very cautious when it comes to Phaedra. Andy brings up that the other women don’t believe their friendship is anything more than an alliance for the show. Phaedra assures us that she is a good friend to Porsha. Porsha says she really likes her friendship with Phaedra. Shamea says don’t leave your drivers license or your wallet around Phaedra because you know she is into fraudulent activity.
Shamea and Phaedra go at it. Shamea claims Phaedra was trying to get with her ex-husband. Phaedra says Shamea was at the Four Seasons trying to get her a pair of shoes. Is that what happens at the Four Seasons??? Because Cynthia Bailey is there a lot and she lives in Atlanta. Why is she always at the Four Seasons Atlanta? I need to go to the Four Seasons, I need me a new pair of Merrells. Shamea says she is engaged and about to be married. Phaedra shoots back with “Maybe it will last longer than a year this time.”
Shamea says Phaedra is southern belle today and hooker tomorrow. Shamea talks about Phaedra’s navel being way off center because she uses groupons for her plastic surgery. God, If they fire Phaedra I hope they put Shamea in her place.
He we go, with fifteen minutes left. Todd is back out there. After a long video recap of the rape stuff, Porsha seems to still think it is funny. But that is about to change. Phaedra refuses to admit she said anything about Shamea and Kandi other than the juvenile hand gesture that until this season I had not seen since elementary school. Todd says that the streets are saying a lot of stuff about Phaedra, but they don’t need to say that stuff. It’s not necessary, because “we know the FEDS are still watching.”
Andy brings up the homophobic behavior the ladies seem to have on RHOA. Porsha claims she is not homophobic at all. HAH! Kenya brings up this tape of Porsha preaching that gay people were all going to hell. If you missed that, the VIDEO is right here on this site. Porsha says that was ten years ago and it was taken out of context. Again, the unedited video is right here, with full context. Todd says that Porsha was kissing on Kandi in the club and invited both of them back to her room. They politely turned down her invitation. Porsha denies that. Kandi tells us again that Porsha wanted to eat her cookie. Porsha denies it.
Porsha says that the drug situation was important because Porsha is a journalist on Dish Nation. I know, none of that makes sense. Forget that for now. Porsha says she was served a cease and desist by Kandi so she can’t explain why she thinks that Kandi wanted to drug and rape her. She says she wants Phaedra to speak on it since she was the one who told her everything about the situation with Kandi and drugs, and Marvin and all of that stuff.
Then Kandi goes off on Phaedra, “YOU told her all that stuff?” And we end there. Next week, it’s the episode we have been waiting for. These first three episodes could have been one show.
I truly hope bravo knows the viewers are paying close attention to everything and that out of all the franchises the behind the scenes stuff that goes on with the Atlanta woman is very noticeable. TT has already spilled the tea and gave us the best blind items and sneaky snake Phaedra let it be known that Andy says she’s his favorite and will always have a spot and peach on this show. Now if you guys pay close attention to all 3 parts Andy has not once asked Porsha about Todd or anything about her personal dating life until now(It was fake) but has asked Kenya about Matt and her fake boyfriends and even tried to expose the fact that she was seeing someone new. Whoever Porsha is sleeping with at bravo has Andy and had Carlos making sure Porsha was comfortable and even with a boring storyline made sure she and her friend Phaedra were the first two shown in opening credits. People say if Phaedra or Porsha goes they wouldn’t watch the show anymore but umm if I can remember they said the same thing about miss Leakes and the ratings are still high. Shamea sat her beautiful self on that couch defending her self against Phaedra and her lies and her childhood friend defended Phaedra and made it out like it was Shameas fault.
Cynthia has her days like everyone but I’m so happy to see her growth and strength and hope she never changes, Kandi also has her days but I’m happy that her restaurant has opened with success and can’t wait to see the legendary Xscape on tour. Kenya is the queen of twirl nation lol and I hope her haircare line and future endeavors are all successful. I love sheree the bone carrier lol and wish you the best with being an Arthur and actress. RHOP is really good and I would love to see more women like them on Atlanta but bravo has other plans. Fans all over have requested an cast refresh and although we know Kim and Nene may be back we would like some fresh new ladies to join them ✌️
As soon as I posted this, I had to take a few minutes to laugh about Porsha being concerned about her journalistic integrity on Dish Nation. When Andy scoffs at the term “journalism” Porsha pointed out that on Dish Nation sometimes they try to make sure the stories are true.
Oh. I see.
I was laughing that Porsha thought reporting was journalism.
I was just happy Andy asked the question I submitted about why Phaedra lied! “Jennifer from Illinois” 🙂
OMG! Congrats, Jenn! That was the best part of the show! I was starting to think those questions were just made up.
At times I thought it was Andy’s alter egos sending these questions like Jessica, Natasha, Watermelondria,…
NOT Watermelondria!!!!! /giggles
Don’t come for Watermelondrea, TreMelvin will check you Boo ?????
Good job!
Go jenn ?
Thank you Jennifer
Yes! I submitted it on one of Andy’s FB posts asking for reunion questions, and it got a bunch of likes, so that must be why they picked it. I have submitted a question for pretty much every franchise season’s reunion, and I was so excited mine got picked! It’s the little things that make me happy 🙂
It’s a shame how Phaedra sat there on mute not taking accountability even to Frick. Porsha’s “anger management” was wearing off by the minute as she tried to justify lie after lie. Phaedra said nothing. Porsha even threw her aggression at Kenya! I’m like Frick you’re the one lying!! But just like the audience who can watch objectively & who also detest liars – we can plainly see that Frack & Freak was just lying. Phaedra showed her true colors. She really thinks everyone wants Apollo con artisy ass! She’s obsessed like someone is trying to steal him away. She really needs mental health about those notions. It’s a shame. Yea to Todd for that truth shade!
Yesssss Todd…say it !
It has been clear to me since early on that Phaedra is/was a slimey eel , that bends and twists but never takes the fall. I have not read the book, but have believed Angela’s every implication: Phaedra has been a lying, scheming, gaming, lady who does nothing but fabricate every second of her life. Her lies, need to run from the truth, yet unwillingness to think through her lies, and do it well most of thei time- have been clear since her pregnancy , when she blew the due date, the number of months of gestation, etc. She is neither bright nor wise or kind. She cares about no one but herself, but thinks she is very crafty. Apollo is her loser male equivalent and they will share a cell before they are done- too bad they each catch each other in their lies, and create enemies, rather than friends, in their crime partners. . Porsha is a perfect example of that; -Phaedra thought Porsha was both malleable and dumb enough to be manipulated and she was- but what Phaedra didn’t count on was that both Porsha’s friends and the RHOA women at the reunion would force her to deal with the truth- and that Porsha would therefore be forced to see what Phaedra had lied and used her for .
Phaedra is an empty shell of a person, willing to sell anyone down the river to get what she wants and hurt whoever she wants. We have watched her do it every season- I do not understand how Andy could not have perceived the truth before now.
This show reveals so many sides of manipulation and stupidity that I cannot believe the logic that allows the show to continue. It makes it clear there is a subset of society so illiterate and superficial that the desire for fame at any price overcomes any appeal of integrity, decency, love, family relationships, pride of authorship hard work, or modest living, or intelligence.
To Phaedra,all that matters is the “con” and bringing anyone who she chooses “down.” I hope it is not just her and Porsha’s last season, but that it is the end of their days on any media. No one should aspire to belike them in any way. Period.
You know who had a good night last night? Angela Stanton. I can’t believe I ever doubted her or that I was ever team Phaedra. #HangsHead
Same here. Phaedra is still mad at Todd and Kandi because they remained friends with Apollo. Who will film with her if she comes back? And they dragged these episodes for 3 weeks – that is enough!
Yes Angela! Confirmation! As soon as I viewed this reunion episode, I thought Angela Stanton is not lying at all! Oh, how I wish Bravo would cast her on an edition of WWHL and surprise spring her on Shady Phae-Phae. Phaedra is that classic girl who throws the rock and hides, then points to someone else as being the culprit!
Cudos to Todd and Shamea for the brilliant shade they threw at her. But ya know what? As much as it pains me to say it, NeNe did call Phaedra out years ago. I guess viewers were too enamored by all the other drama to see through the “southern Belle/PK (Preacher’s Kid)” BS.
I also hope that Phaedra is off and Shamea takes her place – and while we’re at it.. let Appolo’s girlfriend swoop into town from time to time. Phaedra is so devious and revengeful and has been so horrible to Kandi, from encouraging Kandi’s former employee to sue her, to allegedly feeding all this scurrilous talk about intended rape and drugs to Porschia. If Phaedra is allowed to stay on ATL – something is really wrong somewhere.. as in maybe someone has got something on somebody.
The last time I checked, and I believe TT has addressed this, Phaedra has removed all mention of RHOA from her social media.
That’s an urban myth created by exactly the same site that originally told the story of Phaedra being fired. In fact, Phaedra never had a specific mention of RHOA in her social media bios (some of her phans have been posting screenshots from 2014-16 showing they were identical to the current one), and she’s been posting the usual obligatory tweets reminding her followers when the reunion is on etc. That’s pretty much all she ever does with regards to the show on social media, so there hasn’t been any significant change or credible evidence from her.
I know everyone wants shady old Phaedra out, but the only evidence we have of it so far is an anonymously-sourced story that went up online within two hours of Bravo releasing the reunion trailer (I suspect someone’s imagination went into overdrive after seeing Andy accuse Phaedra of a “megawatt lie”). Perhaps that site has the same sources who’ve been telling them Kenya is axed every year for the last 4 years, cuz they’ve been wrong every time on that! I’ll believe it when TT has a source telling her the same thing with 100% certainty, because I know she doesn’t hype stories before she’s sure of them, and doesn’t rush to post just for the sake of being first.
I think Bravo has lost its imagination with these shows lately, and lost its balls. They seem reluctant to let go of long-established ‘Wives who really don’t offer good value (RHONY and RHOBH need a clear-out just as badly as RHOA), so I’m not overly-hopeful that Phaedra will get dumped. I have a bad feeling that Andy was thrilled with Phaedra for giving him this “historic” four-part reunion, in his eyes she’s probably the MVP right now. :/
What is so wrong, is that, Phaedra believe that any woman that walk, talk, look good or not good want Apollo. What’s up with that? She questions the women so often, oh you want Apollo? He is not that fine. He is a felon. She is so insecure, that even in the process of divorce, she think that all women want Apollo. Now that all her evil and ugliness is coming out, she has been exposed as the conniving criminal that she is. She blatantly lied and had those lies publicized and spread by Porsha about Kandi. They both should be fired from RHOA and Porsha should be fired from Dish Nation. After all Porsha dumbly think that she is a journalist, if a true journalist had spread vicious lies as the lies she spread about Kandi, even Dish Nation should fire her. Let’s see what happens.
Leelee, Phaedra doesn’t want Apollo. She just doesn’t want her lies and criminality exposed. It’s all an act.
Maybe we’ll see more in the final part (although I thought that was a behind-the-scenes thing?), but I don’t feel like we really saw anything that Bravo is going to fire Phaedra for so far. If anything, they’ll put her front and center next year so that she can duke it out with Porsha and Kandi at the same time. In fact, it almost feels like it would be weird for her to not come back and face the consequences from the other women.
Or maybe it’s just been hyped so much that I was expecting to see something that anyone with half a brain hadn’t figured out…..
Either way, I’m kind of underwhelmed and starting to think the “Phaedra got fired” stories were Bravo spin all along.
Great recap, TT. ” Need a new pair of Merrells” – hysterical! That would be my speed too. Shamea was great dealing with Phake. Todd had best line of the night on the FEDS are still watching. I wouldn’t be surprised. Peter is so pissed at Porsha why he left.
I REALLY need a new pair of Merrells but I need the ortho ones. They have special bottoms that keep you from twisting your ankle and my ankles are SHOT since I’ve been to the ER after twisting them sinc middle school and have twisted them about twice year ever since until I sat down on the couch about six years ago and never got up.
But the good Merrills are hard to find and fucking expensive. Not Louboutin expensive but do I really want to pay $150 for fugly shoes expensive.
What has recently happened to the Merrell family is so sad.
It is sad Jrleaguer. My granddaughter is friends with their grandson. They found his body a few days ago. Heartbreaking!
I just had a chance to read this. So Sad.
I kinda feel bad for Kenya because in the early seasons, she was pretty much on an island on her own calling Phaedra out for her bullshit, nobody took her side back then. But again, the Apollo situation didn’t do her any favor.
When Shamea said, “She (Porsha) brings a youthful side to Auntie(Phaedra)” I woke my whole house up laughing. ?
So good. Had to explain it to my husband.
The Frick and Frack montage confirmed my opinion that neither of them said anything particularly funny. The just made faces and laughed.
They also like to stick their butts out and find that hysterical.
And hold their tongues out like dogs in heat or hyenas and laugh, scream, and bray like fools. The two of them appear to be animals as they jiggle around and think it is cute, sexy- it is disgusting and proves who, or rather, what, they are.
We have had our moments when disappointing, venal, immature or ugly words remind us just how out of control these shows can become. We say it can’t go lower, that the offenders will be dismissed, that Bravo will see what is right and aspirational and eliminate the offenders. Occasionally that happens, but usually they continue to offend and push the envelope of acceptability and the audience rewards it.
Why would anyone reward this level of rank stupidity? It is not just about the sexuality-not its homophobia but the manner in which it is twisted into implications of rape and ugly attacks on peoples’ personal lives, displayed for public ludeness without apology or decency, all because of personal animosity. Producers hide behind the veil of “audience demands” but the reality is none of it would not be viewed if not encouraged one way or another.
No one needs to see Nene or Kim’s act again, nor that absurd Marlo, Peter, Phaedra Porsha, could go on and on. Could we please reward and encourage the lovely ones who are sincere and well intended and change this message?
Cancel RHOA . It reflects and encourages the lowest of human values- and creates an audience without the ability to discern good from bad right, from wrong, because it presents few if any . judgment moments, etc.
There is ZERO aspirational, intelligent, encouraging people to improve themselves and the world around them, or to mature and grow. How can anyone find this anything but what it is- garbage- and beneath each and everyone of us.
I apologize for my soapbox. I just believe can’t continue to tolerate every piece of nonsense I see, and say someone has the right to suggest every and any evil is acceptable. It isn’t. My time is too precious to waste three hours waiting for a punch line that we knew four years ago-Phaedra is a fake, manipulative, liar who strangles her prey , using others to do her dirty work. If she ever was honest and a simple soul, Porsha has allowed every element of good in her to be lost to garbage, What a success story!!
I totally agree with you and I feel that this nonsense needs to stop. After reading todays latest Bravo on Phaedra they are doing damage control fast. I suggest everyone whom has a true complaint go to NBC directly and email them your concerns of the need to remove this horrible show. Thanks Tamara for letting me voice this.
I died at that too !!! Shamea had some great comebacks and shade last night!!
Yes, the first three episodes could have been condensed into one. I agree with TT on that one. The most annoying thing was after the commercials they would repeat the same things they had just covered before the commercial.
Peter’s comments were disrespectful about having sex again. Even though he and Cynthia aren’t together, it was still hurtful. Kenya and Porsha going back and forth was shameful. I hope Phakedra and Porsha lose their peaches. I don’t know if Shamea has enough going on to lose her FOH status. Since she’s just getting married again, I would hate for the RH spotlight to ruin another marriage. We all watch Dish Nation for their journalistic integrity. Really, Porsha?
I can’t wait for the reunion finale!
Porsha is a journalist? Bless her heart.
I wonder what Kim Bierrman (Zolciak) will bring to this cast next season. Im actually excited for her to come back.
Messy, messy Phaedra. I don’t blame Kandi for being pissed. The tales that were spun is just a prime example of how women tear each other down. Phaedra got a firm grip on the village idiot and played puppet master over Porsha. Both need kicked off the show. They are so fake and vile. Hope Kandi and Todd sue the hell out of both these pathetic excuses.
Phaedra is about to be exposed and fired. Can’t wait!!
When Kandi asked Andy what he thought of Porsha’s disclosure that Phaedra told her all the stories, he acted like he didn’t know what the big deal was. Then he was “oh, I’m shocked.” WTF????? I Phaedra just totally his favorite? If Phaedra retains her peach after slandering Kandi, I will lose ALL respect for Andy. I know that shock brings viewers, but there is so much about Phaedra’s evil conduct, she should be fired.
If Kandi has grounds to sue, I wish she would sue Phaedra. She has no conscience or moral grounding that is is unbelievable. If her lips are moving (or she is filing legal papers) she is lying.
Toni, I didn’t like Andy reaction to Kandi question either! I’m hoping it was editing and next week will clear it up!
I agree with you, Toni. I also found Andy’s reply to Kandi to be really disturbing because he was so ambivalent toward Kandi, and in doing that — he is taking Phaedra’s side. Hopefully, it was an editing problem, but if he did not fire Phaedra — then it was not. If someone as devious and backstabbing as Phaedra is Andy’s “irreplaceable” favorite — that speaks volumes about who Andy really is. Why exactly is Andy so enamored of Phaedra? And what is Phaedra’s story-line other than going after Kandi and Apollo being in jail?
It just seems like there may be some behind-the-scenes, unkown to the public, personal reason why Andy is so “gaga” over Phaedra, or may even be afraid to cross her. Because there is certainly no plausable reason for not firing her. Also, I find Phaedra’s continual public invocations to God and prayer to be really upsetting given how manipulative and power hungry Phaedra is. Within the context of all her lies and all she has done, it appears that she is using religion (a call to good and moral behavior) to confuse people and as a public cover for her nefarious activity. And that is a real mind-F to everyone. Phaedra needs to leave the show, or Andy has no respect for the viewers — or Kandi.
Andy is afraid and intimidated by Phaedra. Andy is lawyer phobic –remember he met her as Bobby Browns lawyer during “Being Bobby Brown” I get the feeling she made an impression on him.
Hazel H, well said. all good comments
Completely agree with you HazelH! How can Phaedra keep praising The Lord & also being so malicious? Horrible liar!
If he kept Vicki – he would have no problem keeping Phaedra. The reason I think Phaedra is not going to be fired is because Porsha is not. They are equally culpable.
Andy is not shocked because he does not understand the definition of rape, particularly a female drugging someone. This is why Carlos felt comfortable to let this play out. This is what we need to entertain us, a female Bill Cosby?
Are you saying you think Kandi did this?
Andy’s reaction to Khandi made the hair on the back of my neck stand up.
I’ve always seen Andy as a shallow, mean-spirited narcissist, which is why his favorites are also the shallow, mean-spirited narcissistic housewives (Pheadra, Porscha, Nene, Bethanny, Teresa). But his nonchalance in the face of Pheadra being exposed as spreading date rape rumors about Khandi and Khandi breaking down? Creepy AF. He came off as a total sociopath in that moment — no ability to empathize with other people in the slightest IMO.
Yes, that was very creepy. I think he needed it explained to him at some point.
This was perfect. Totally agree with you. I always thought his choice in favorite HW’s was an indication to how he is himself. I don’t like any of his faves. He is a horrid man who hates women. The nastier they get the happier he is. I can’t even imagine how horrid he is to have as a friend. It makes me wonder about Anderson and that makes me sad because him I like.
I feel like Andy always tries to stay “in character” with his goofy, semi-naïve persona. Even when things get dark, he tries to stay on the periphery of the darkness, IMO.
Wait it’s not over? How is this not over. Ugh
What a messy episode that was.
Peter is a buffoon and I will never understand why Cynthia found him appealing in the first place.
I don’t even know what to say about Phaedra and Porsha. They both looked like jackasses.
I hope they can revamp this group because I do like Cynthia and Kandi.
I know, Peter is soooooooo creepy…
I never understood what she found attractive about Peter. His eyes were always bloodshot, he was pretty much a jerk most of the time, blew butt-loads of her hard-earned money, & literally moved away to another city, to blow more of her money on yet another failed nightclub venture. And I’m very sure he wasn’t celibate for the year he said he didn’t sleep with his wife.
Quick grooming question. Why do Bob and Todd’s beards look like they have baby oil dropping from them?
Beard oil is a thing. I know nothing more about it. Some millennial at my farmers market sells it along with baked goods. The juxtaposition of beard oil and baked goods makes me gag. I just can’t.
” Some millennial at my farmers market sells it along with baked goods. ” I mean… I hate to give out my gold star of the day so early, but this is fucking hysterical.
@Amy: Thanks. I guess it is like me using a tiny bit of Argon oil to help tame my J fro. I guess I have just never seen it applied so liberally. For a split second, I thought they had glitter on their beards.
Portsha makes my head hurt.
Peter was absolute reality gold. That shit was hilarious!
Tamara.Do you think any of this is true with the ‘swinger’ stuff? I just do not get it
Let’s just say Kandi ain’t raping nobody and leave it at that.
Double negative…that helps. ?
Did she really say she Groupons her plastic surgery???
I’m using that. That’s genius.
She did! Her 1 liners were the best
I totally glossed over how good Shamea was. I don’t know why they do give that girl a peach. She has a lot going on and is actually marrying her African “prince.”
I had a passing thought (I have them from time to time) Was it possible Mama Joyce was the one who told Phaedra about Shamea and Kandi?
You should probably not share your thoughts until you get better at thinking. Because…
Ok I know that sounds stupid, no posting for me at 7 am anymore. My train of thought had to do with all Mama Joyce was doing to prevent the Kandi’s wedding a few years ago and back then she said some terrible things. I am so glad they all seem cool now, it was hard to watch back then. I thought Phaedra was so interesting when she was first on the show, she is just horrible now,I am off that bandwagon.
Up until the last few minutes of last nights episode, this reunion has been boring. Just a bunch of women screaming over one another and an endless slew of shade. Boring!! I truly hope Phaedra gets her comeuppance next week. It was obvious that phay phay was getting awfully nervous last night because she was repeatedly licking her lips when the women talked about this.
I was told that the reunion was a whole lot of nothing until the Phaedra thing. I have no idea why they felt the need to give up three long boring hours of nothing in particular, just so they could build up to what happened after it ended..
Shamea gave Phaedra the business and I was living for it.
Now that I know Porscha is a journalist, her Rachel Maddow-esque hair finally makes sense…
Porsha has such a pretty face, but whoever suggested she wear that 1974 Eva Gabor wig is NOT her friend. I’m not seeing Elvis, really. It’s more of a Shirley Jones/Partridge Family look.
Look at a picture of porsha standing up. She actually does look like Elvis
Suspicious mind. Looking forward to Phaedra*s rendition of jail house rock. Going to a party in the county state and or federal jail? Orange is the New black and the bell tolls for frick and frack. Porsha was underground railroaded again.
Phaedra has always been a fraud. I am shocked it took people so long to see it. To me it was more than obvious her TV persona and off air persona is not the same.
Historically, phaedra has always been the mastermind and surrounded herself with people who would do the dirty work while she came off unscathed.
Let’s start with Angela Stanton. I believe everything Angela said about Phaedra. How was it Phaedra was involved closely with all those people but she didn’t get in trouble? Everyone else did the dirty work while she benefited from it and sold them false stories. She made promises she couldn’t keep in terms of helping them and making sure their families would be ok. Angela didnt sue her for no reason and Drama didn’t go to her law office to drop off a mix tape.
These people did time for things she was involved in and she broke promises and thy are pissed.
Secondly, Apollo; she married him to protect herself. He is not required to testify against his wife, so to save herself she married him. That was for her benefit not his. She knew her husband was into illegal activities during their marriage but again spouses do not have to testify against each other. She demeaned his family, his upbringing and his mannerisms. Why marry him? Again, it was to save herself. or at least try too.
Also, when she lied about her due date…c’mon…that was her first pregnancy. Your remember EVERYTHING about it
Also, the legal tactics and manipulations she pulled with delaying Angela’s case and making sure Angela wouldnt be heard and her divorce.
At Phaedra’s pop-up shop to benefit the Flint, Mi. kids, she was very complimentary to Apollo’s mother. She’s guilty for lots of crap but disrespecting Apollo’s parents just isn’t one of her sins.
Now, if I were Apollo’s mother, I’d be pretty ticked off at how Phaedra had screwed my son.
Love, love, love Kandi’s persona this season. She is Genghis Khan, slaying on the left and right.
Prior to Flint she commented on him being raised poor and only used to eating things that came out of a can and how is family wasnt as refined as her and her family
I actually felt like Phaedra was setting Porsha up like she did Angela. I feel like someone needs to explain to Porsha why Angela ended up in the slammer. She trusted Phaedra and really thought she had her back…
Does anyone know exactly what Phaedra was trying to pull, by filing the divorce papers in the way that she did? What was she trying to gain, by filing them with a false name, which meant that Apollo would not be served the papers & the divorce would not be legit? Did she not want the divorce to be legal, so that she & Apollo would still have spousal rights to refuse to testify against each other? But she wanted to be able to tell people she was divorced? I know she was trying to pull something, just don’t know what, exactly.
It’s about money. She didn’t want the assets to be properly divided. If Apollo was not notified, he could not object to anything.
Ah, got it. Thanks.
Without that cease and desist order, we don’t have a reunion show. Thank you Kandi.
The real “show” will be when it comes out that Kandi never sent Porsha the cease and desist. (; It is about to GO DOWN next week! lol
I don’t think that rumor is true. A lot of things just got randomly made up about this reunion.
A few good moments of reality TV and a good laugh I had….
Kenya – When she called Porsha ‘Elvis’ – that was an iconic moment….I couldn’t stop laughing.
Porsha – When she said she smelled Kandi’s ‘lady box’ from the other side of the sofa….omg…I almost fainted !
Phaedra – I guess the gig is up. I actually believe she used the puppet Porsha to do her dirty work. She’s extremely manipulative and has a cold soul. She’s a dangerous women. She took the fun out of the shade game. It’s taking it to far and borders legally on the deflamation of a person’s character.
Peter – I guess he wanted to leave the last dance on a high note…Diva move ! LOL.
Shamea – loved her !
Kandi / Todd – I’m convinced that they know ALOT more tea than they spilled. I wonder if they will let it out through their social media accounts AFTER the final reunion show has aired.
Overall…they could have cut most of that haggling out and did the reunion in 2 shows ! ;0)
Not a RHOA viewer but I do read the recaps here. Could someone explain to me how BRAVO was allowed to air such inflammatory accusations. If I were a prospective HW, for any of the franchises, this Atlanta rape allegation storyline would definitely cause me to back away. No way would I allow myself to be put into a situation where false criminal accusations could be aired to a national audience. This may never entirely go away for Kandi, there will always be some of the public that will believe Porsha’s lies. BRAVO went too far here, surprised they are not legally responsible in some way.
Phaedra say hello to karma. She has been dying to meet you for awhile now. It will be interesting to watch Dishrag Nation tonight as they always recap the show. Next week as well. Wonder if Porcha will be on a break? I loved Todd’s expression while Porsha was denying that hookup invitation after that kiss. I loved Kandi’s comment of I should have let you eat it and then kiss my ass while you were down there. Peter is one messy drunk.
Somewhere around here I have the actual verbiage from their Bravo contracts where they sign away their rights to sue each other for any sort of slanderous behaviors. It is way more detailed than that and they also relinquish their rights to sue Bravo for negative edits that may cause them emotional distress, or harm their reputation or that of their business. No one with a brain in their head would sign a reality show contract.
The saying “selling your soul to the devil” is how I think of the desire to be on a reality show. It’s sad but amazing how some are willing to do just that, for fame.
I am assuming a loophole that allowed some legal actions like a “cease and desist” and probably about stalking issues also. I agree, why would someone sign a contract like that? The thirst must have been great!
After reading about Porsha looking like Elvis, I became totally distracted by her looking like Prince!! Lol.
Big Prince fan here. Please don’t smear him by comparing that Joan Collins/Diahann Carroll Dynasty era shoulder-padded monstrosity she had on with anything His Purple Highness ever wore. (or any hairstyle he ever rocked.) That dress was just damn butt-ugly and dated!
This is unbelievable. I can’t understand how Phaedra can not be held accountable for this. That’s the thing that really seems to be lacking for a few of these women. No accountability at all. At least others “own” what they’ve said (not that it makes it right to disparage and drag anyone through the dirt) but this mess is just beyond. How do they get away with this???
For me, the bottom line accountability is with Bravo. When these allegations arose, filming should have paused to see if there was cause for a criminal investigation, if not, the allegations should have been edited out or addressed as false immediately.
I should boycott Bravo for this but I am ashamed to admit I won’t, at least not yet. I stopped watching RHOA several years ago and will no longer be watching RHONJ or RHOC. The RH shows I still enjoy is shrinking.
Sorry for second post but I think it’s important to mention what a great example Cynthia is for taking the high road. She took responsibility for her marriage ending without any negative commentary about Peter. She knows that getting messy with Peter could end up in unnecessary negativity and give others the opportunity to weigh in. She is a great example for young (and old) women and how to hold your head up high and be humble. I’m sure there was much more to the demise of their marriage than “she just wasn’t strong enough”. She’s leading by example for her daughter and proves time and time again Just how strong she is. Love you Cynthia.
Ohhhh my am I confused…I keep hearing how Cynthia was this big-time Fashion Super Model in the business….Yes, she’s a very beautiful lady of a particular age, but I have never heard of her until the RHOA show …….
I am glad that she takes the high road. I honestly don’t feel like this show is a good fit for her. She’s doing what I would do…keep introducing my ‘brand’ to the viewers and ‘push my kid in the right direction’ …she’s smart enough to take advantage of the opportunity…
Cynthia has been in Black magazines, the face of ethnic hair and beauty products, ads, videos for over 30 years. Many of us have always known her face.
Excellent point Jane. ITA
This situation with Andy and Phaedra seems Trumpian to me just like I wonder what Russia and Micheal Flynn has on Trump I wonder what sneaky Phaedra has on Andy!!!
As much as I hate Phaedra, because of this she needs to come back. She needs to answer for her sins. Leaving with this one item is not enough to make her atone for years of foolery. Phaedra needs to deal the chaos she called.
The phall came to an abrupt end when Phaedra impaled her donkey booty on Porsha’s head.
