Kandi and Todd’s restaurant is a BOOMING success. Every single day there is a line around the block. It takes hours to get a table. They have also started opening for lunch to take advantage of all the crowds. I want to go, but I’d rather wait until it is not such a madhouse. I don’t do well with large crowds of people.
For the RHOA finale last night Kandi held a viewing party at OLG inviting everyone on social media to come. And boy did people turn up for that.
Angela Stanton was one of those people. When Angela first appeared on the scene, I didn’t believe her. I wrote a story that said Angela was a crazy person looking for a come-up. Someone who knows Phaedra told me that she really like that story. But then as the trial began, I came to believe every single thing Angela wrote in her book.
I have a feeling that Kandi went through that same sort of realization.
Good for you Kandi, you are getting back at Phaedra in Aces!!! No pun intended on her son’s name. Phaedra you messed with a lot of people but you should have left Kandi ALONE. She DOES not play. You better hope she does not sue your ass now. I hope Angela sells the hell outta her book. Phaedra Bye Girl.
I am a long-time reader, but this is my first time commenting. I am sure that everyone watched the reunioun with just as much disgust as I did. I fell in love with Atlanta after my first visit. Every since, I try to make at least two trips annually. This March was by far the best time since I decided to actually visit some of the shops and resturants that are filmed on the reality shows. I went to Kandi’s store and bought some nice pieces. While there, we were invited to OLG. The line was wrapped around the corner, but we were determined that we would somehow make it innside. It was lovely, the OLG’s were kind, Todd was kind enough to take pictures with us and the drinks were excellent (Kandi was busy while we were there). We didn’t get a chance to eat, because we had a another engagement. I just wanted to point out that Kandi has always been one of my favorites. She is driven, straight-up and a loyal friend. She is a true boss and It was just sickening to see how they maligned her name. I wish her the best in everything that she does. I am happy for once, that the truth was revealed!!!
Team Kandi all the way! On Wendy Williams this morning, I thought I heard Wendy say that Phaedra was upset bc Kandi and Todd liked Apollo and that Phaedra deserves to stay bc she made it so interesting! but that Sheree should go because she has no story line. I say I “thought I heard”, because I could not believe my ears. Why is WW so pro- Phaedra? Maybe I was hallucinating?
You heard it right Scottish. I’m beginning to like Wendy less and less. Her take on the RHOA reunion last night was waaay off. How could anybody be pro Phaedra after the horrible things she’s done? I just wish Bravo would have done the right thing and fired Porsha as well. And as far as Andy Cohen goes, I have zero respect for him. He is cordially invited to kiss my entire ass.
My hat is off to Grandmalou, I could not have put it better. Wendy is not one to respect, she has her own issues to address. For someone to continue to be pro Phaedra, that person would have to have the similar personality flaws that only divine intervention can change. Bravo will do what it does, for we all know rating matter. Andy Cohen,and respect does not go together in the same sentence. I just wish that Kenya had received the same redemption that Kandi got at this reunion. She went through three years of Phaedra’s lies and slander, and is still tainted today.
WW hasn’t watched real housewives in years. She just goes off the morning meeting and other tells the story completely wrong.
You are so right. And also about Phaedra..who i actually liked. You also right though in sharing why Kandi and Todd hiding Apollo illegally gained mer handise upset Phaedra from previous posts .
. Makes me wonder if Apollo was bringing girls back to Kandi and Todd for fun and Phaedra was upset. Not drugs..btw..but Kandi did say she likes fun.
Just trying to make sense of it. Phaedra though should have known what her husband doing for income and why he was spending so much time with admitted players..
.
Did I miss something?
As for them storing Apollo’s things Todd and Apollo are
friends to this day and if a friend of mine was on the way to jail, being evicted, or moving and asked me to keep
their stuff so what? Do you think Kandi or Todd would risk being prosecuted to protect Apollo?
Phaedra’s problem is that she could not get over her public humiliation at Apollo’s hands and took it out on anyone she could including Kandi, Todd and Kenya. Thing is she knew she had a snake when she picked it up.
Wendy obviously doesn’t watch RHOA and has no idea what she is saying
Wendy Williams has doubled down on her “team Phaedra” stance.. saying again on her show today that Bravo made a big mistake in firing Phaedra, and will be bringing her back at times “to spice things up” and saying again that Sheree should be fired and now adding Cynthia to WW’s “hit list”. Very odd.
I saw Andy’s face at the end – I really don’t think she’ll be back. I doubt she’ll be back on WWHL even, unless Andy wants to check on the kids.
She’s Phucking Phired.
Angela speaks truth. Fakedra has lied over and over from day one. She tries so hard to be clever using a cloak of righteousness….now the devil is exposed. FIRED! YAY! Perhaps when Apollo gets out he’ll get a paternity test on that second child….ain’t his.
Anyone remembers Vicki lying to Kelly Dodd about Shannon’s husband beating her?
That was not a lie. David has a domestic violence conviction on his record. He even did some sort of crying apology about it on camera during one of their therapy sessions.
Well it reminded me of the theatrics of it all. Seasoned Vet (Vicki/Phaedra) using not so smart partner in crime (Kelly Dodd/Porsha) to spew her venom.
As much as I can’t stand Nene, she called it!! She brought up Angela at a past reunion and Phaedra wormed her way out of it. Sadly, Andy isn’t the only one she had fooled. You could tell by their reactions that even Sheree and Cynthia were shocked when the truth was revealed.
I don’t condone violence but I laughed hysterically when Todd said, “Drag her, Porsha!” I’m glad she didn’t but that tickled the hell out of me!! The only thing that would’ve made that reunion better was Peter staying. I wish he would’ve been present when Phaedra and Porsha were exposed! Between him, Kenya, and Todd, I probably would’ve passed out laughing.
Hey T, I don’t know if you’re aware but Stephanie Toone of the AJC referenced your blog today! That’s pretty awesome!! I’m so proud of you T!!!! (I sent you an email earlier regarding info I’m hoping my mom can get. I failed to tell you it was from me.)
I’ve been reading T’s blogs for years and have agreed with her on almost everything … until last night.
because after last night, i now agree with everything.
jesus christ. how in the hell has phaedra managed to cast reasonable doubt for so long? i’m a stenographer for over twenty years and can pretty much sniff bullshit in an instant : phaedra had me FOOLED.
and adding to the shock was her reaction … like ‘why O why are all of you boring me with this? yes i said you were a rapist who drugs people so what who cares’ …
EVIL.
*ps i own my mistakes and publicly did a twitter bow to you, T – you are QUEEN with nailing these dumbos.
I made it to OLG while vacationing was able to get a seat at the bar right away but a table was a 4 hour wait. My hubby and daughter was welcomed with smiles and hugs from Todd, Kandi, Don Juan and the aunties! They were so friendly and this was Prince death Anniversary and so Kandi was singing. She sounded amazing much better than on TV. We had catfish, shrimp and grits, and the most amazing banana pudding. If you can go. I would.
I can’t wait to go!!! I was down this past weekend but wasn’t able to go. I sure wish I had been there last night!! At any rate I’ll stop in this summer and eat. I love banana pudding!!! My granny used to make it for me on my birthday.
Ladies, you’re killing me. I was trying on pants at the store today and that mirror scared me. NOW you make me want what you had at OLG — how can I be good when everyone keeps dangling this yummy menu?! Dammit
Phaedra’ s anger goes all the way back to the things Todd stored for Apollo. That was between Apollo & Todd. Kandi was the best most loyal friend Phaedra could have ever had ! Will she ever be so lucky as to have a friend like Kandi again? The answer is hell no! Phaedra really messed up big time !! Whatever bad karma that comes her way she will only have herself to blame and she also deserves!! Meanwhile, Kandi is making lots of honest money dancing all the way to the bank! As Kandi says in her song ,” I fly above!” Go Kandi!!
Not only did she malign Kandi’s reputation by feeding Porsha a lie but I’m still in disbelief that Phaedra would go as far as to ruin someone’s finances by aiding that moronic ex employee find counsel. All for a storyline? Did she not think how that would look? And now we hear she was preventing Kandi from getting city permits? That is NOT shade, nor a reality show storyline, that is backstabbing and vindictive with the sole intent to RUIN someone. She has been jealous of Kandi’s success. I’m confused how Kandi was ever friends with Phaedra. She didn’t know what kind of snake she had for a friend? I say we fill Phaedra’s social media with snake emojis. lol
Also I’m tired and disgusted at Andy treating RHOA housewives as bit players. I always feel like he has this air of condescension for this franchise. I always sense it during the reunion. Am I the only one that feels it? I’m puzzled by this attitude because isn’t RHOA his highest rated show? Could it be because RHOA ladies treat homosexuality as a dig to men? From what we saw there was no concern or comforting done for Kandi. He’s nothing but a social climber and a horrible entertainment host. Without his TelePrompTer he would be lost. He has no gift of gab or talent whatsoever to host WWHL or any show. He’s not funny, nor intelligent.
Andy doesn’t seem to think well in impromptu settings. His treatment of Kandi was clueless. No empathy.
He is a discard and ignore host.
I agree. That was so weird to me. It’s like his mind blanked out.
Phaedra’s funeral, self embalmed.Nails in the coffin.
I had to watch it again to really get everything that was going on – I think I blanked out a little the first go round. I never totally got vested in them like I have some of the other shows, and while I never liked Phaedra’s lies (the due date of her first son was a total head scratcher) I didn’t mind watching her try to tell them. I also kind of got why she felt ignored a bit by Kandi, and that she picked Apollo over her.
But the rape allegations are so beyond the pale. I suspect that while you sign SOME of your rights to sue a housewife, allegations of criminal activity like that – well I bet that clause could be thrown out and she could sue for slander.
BUT – one little pet peeve. Kandi kept saying to Porsha “You believed that I wanted to drug and rape you? You know I don’t do drugs!”
Kandi – Bill Cosby doesn’t do drugs either.
