There really hasn’t been much to discuss about the Essence Festival this weekend. But Matt Jordan showing up finally pushed me to report on the few interesting tidbits I seen so far.
Cynthia Bailey has been making three-hour appearances at the Sunglasses Pop Up Shop each day. Yesterday, Phaedra strolled by while Cynthia was there. Phaedra appeared to act like they were still friends. Cynthia seemed a bit uncomfortable around her and tried to act cordial. #Awkward
Phaedra also did some sort of rambling talk about Image Control. Yes, she was talking about black women on reality TV and problems controlling their image and how they are presented. I am not making this up.
Kenya gave an interview about her marriage. The bits and pieces I heard were like pretty much Luann D’Agostino has been saying for the last six months. Blissfully happy…twirl on the haters…blah, blah,blah.
Unfortunately, Matt just posted on his Instagram that he is in New Orleans for the Essence Festival as well. When you are out and about in another city, do you carry around a paper copy of the restraining order? What is that fool doing down there anyway? This is not good.
That is kinda scary that Matt is down there too, Tamara. Maybe just reporting it will keep something untoward from happening.
Matt showing up.. Why isn’t this guy in custody somewhere? I guess he is trying to wring out the last little juice out of his past with Kenya..
I have a restraining order against an ex. I keep a copy in my pocketbook, in my car, in the front table near the door, at my Dads, at my desk at work, gave my regional manager a copy, gave each friend a copy and even brought a copy down to the local police station so they have it on file.
when somebody physically assaults you and puts you in the hospital and then threatens to ‘make it right’ the next time they see you, you get a bit paranoid.
It’s been fifteen years and I make sure I go down every two years and renew it.
You have helped people by posting this. Thank you!
That is terrible!!!! Hope you never have the need for it again and that you can find peace.
Y is pocketbooklover going every 2 years??after the 3rd restraining order against my ex husband the judge granted it FIR LIFE FOREVER!
The state I live in, the ‘permanent’ ROs are only good for two years. Each state has different lengths of time for ROs and how often they can be renewed.
The best thing is to consult a lawyer, and have them take care of the paperwork. I get a call from her two months before its to expire that its time to renew it. And no, she’s not doing it to collect massive fees. She aids victims of domestic violence pro bono.
Pocketbook lover so glad u took the dirtbag threat as a promise! So many women do not…What’s a few min every 2yrs to keep urself safe! Wish there were more women like urself that weren’t ashamed or embarrassed to let the world know it’s OK to be cautious, & even afraid of what someone’s capable of doing to harm someone they once cared for
Essentially Phaedra imagines herself to be eau de parfum when she reeks of eau de public toilet.
That’s the gist of it, lol. Ewww. I just can’t believe she takes herself seriously.
Finally someone other than “Twirl Group” find it funny that unemployed Matt is in New Orleans. The belief is he saw that Kenya was in NOLA and he went down there hoping to bump into her. I hope she is aware he is on the prowl and is ready for him. This guy is not well in the head.
I’m sure Kenya is smart enough to practically have Secret Service around her and her family. Doubt she will risk or underestimate his craziness.
Oh gosh. I really hope for his sake and others that he gets some help. I worry for Kenya and ladies in this situation all the time. I can’t even imagine how frightening it must be.
Why does Phaedra have her thighs wrapped in black duct tape?
Matt, looks like Phaedra is available! Leave Kenya alone. Everything you needed to say to her has been said.
Phaedra doing a talk on image control is like Bill Cosby doing a talk on preventing sexual assault charges – just sit down and shut up!
Phony Pha Pha yakking about black women and image — funny…she never thought of her image when she married a felon, and collected those heafty RHOA checks.
Has Kenya started filming yet? I’ve seen pics of all the girls filming so far except her
Nope the showrunner or um perhaps already former show runner has been in Mykonos and the new showrunner has just finished up with RHONJ duties So with the pilot and copilot away no one has really been flying the plane. None of what has been filmed so far will make it to show except maybe Shamea’s bridal party if she indeed as a bigger role this season as I have heard. Kandi was filming last night for Xscape special and some of that will end up on RHOA. I’m not sure if Kenya and Cynthia were at her concert last night in NO, but I imagine they were. So that may be in RHOA.
