Somehow, I am never prepared for RHOA to start at 8 p.m. I try to get some stuff done around the house on the weekends and 8 p.m. just sneaks up on me. For reasons that are unclear to me, this is a seventy-five minute episode. It will also not include Nene Leakes and Kim Biermann will not be on it. I dropped the bomb recently about how much Nene gets paid in a random post here recently. By not putting her in all the episodes she get to be the highest paid per episode for her ego, but she is not in all of the episodes to maintain the budget. In fairness, people are going to say that Nene didn’t support the Hurricane relief, but she was not invited due to the budget, nor was Kim.
It appears that the reason this show is 75 minutes is because they want to re-air the midseason trailer at the top of the show. It’s not a bad idea, really. But it seems ridiculous to mess of the schedule for the whole night.
This week we have dueling trips to Houston to help out with Hurricane Harvey relief. While it is great that the housewives are helping out, you would think they could get along. Of course that is not happening. Shamea does call Porsha to volunteer her time.
Cynthia and Kandi meet at Pour for dinner. I haven’t seen them there before. Kenya missed the dinner because her husband is in town. Kandi only orders a salad. She is working on getting in shape for her Broadway run I guess. She is there now doing her thing. She and Todd recently had a double date with Kenya and Marc at his restaurant. I loved that. Cynthia is going to Houston because Noelle was born there and her sister just moved from there. She has a lot of ties. Kandi can’t go on the trip she had prior commitments with Riley that weekend and she wants us to know she has given over $20K to the cause. But she is still being paid for the episode. Cynthia’s event is on Friday night and Porsha’s event is on Saturday. Cynthia says if Porsha supports her event she is more than willing to help with her event on Saturday. Kandi lets us know that the real reason people are not going is because it is a Porsha event and no one likes her or wants to do anything with her. Kandi says she will not go down the street with Porsha, let alone go to Houston with her. Kenya calls in to video chat with Cynthia and Cynthia points out that she looks freshly fucked. Kenya says that she is not coming. Cynthia’s storyline is being abandoned by Kenya this season.
Next up we get a phone call from the federal pen from that Tyrone guy who is thirsty as fuck to be on this show. I remember him from the FIX THAT FACE! FIX THAT BODY! season where he was working hard to get ponzi scam on the RHOA. Looks like he is still working the RHOA from the pokey. Sheree’s stupid ass is claiming that she can’t go to Houston because of her fakeass back injury. Sheree and Tyrone are trying to pretend like Nene was trying to get with him in the past. This is total horseshit. Tyrone has been showboating around all the women on this show at some point. He’s thirsty. Which is why he is a perfect match for Sheree. Notice he didn’t call her at all when she was off the show, and now that she is back on, he’s wormed his way into a storyline to pay for his dorito bill in the pokey. I wonder how much money Bravo puts on his books for commissary? And Sheree is happy to play along because the word in the Mama Joyce streets is she has a girlfriend. It’s all very convenient. I do like those athletic legging Sheree was wearing though.
Porsha, her sister Lauren, Cynthia and her sister Mallory arrive in Houston and see all the devastation. The entire contents of houses are on the streets for removal. It’s awful. So sad. I actually like this Porsha. And the Celebrity Apprentice Porsha. And Dish Nation Porsha. I wish she was like this all the time. This Porsha is incredible. Then Shamea shows up at the community center. Porsha is snotty about it.
Kandi
Riley has just turned 15 and she is practicing her driving in an eleventy billion dollar Mercedes SUV thing. I’m so poor I don’t even know what it is called. What I do know is that she needs to be practicing in a Ford Pinto or something because she is not even clear which side of the street people drive on. Also, I hope Kandi doesn’t hand Riley too many things. That won’t be good for her in the long run. She needs a job at OLG. I have a feeling she and Todd’s daughter both already work there. On the other hand, Kandi was rich in high school and she is doing fantastic. So.. who knows? What I am not really liking is that Riley’s issues with her daddy are playing out on TV.
Later Kandi meets with Block. I like block just because he knows that a co-cola is a co-cola. It really doesn’t take more than that for me. Apparently, Riley was pissed because she was blindsided by production with the phone call from her dad. That’s what I’m talking about. Leave this beautiful 15-year-old child’s private business off the show! Oh God. Kandi wants to do counseling with Block and Riley. On camera? Please noe.
Houston
Cynthia is getting in full hair and makeup for her event. She is hosting a benefit concert to lift spirits and raise money. Kenya is supposedly in LA working. This is the second Kenya excuse. How do they not see that. You know she has to be coming. Porsha donated $5K to Cynthia’s fundraising. See? She does have a heart. This is a very heartwarming episode.
Then my girl Kenya makes her dramatic appearance. I can’t believe they thought she really wouldn’t come to support Cynthia. Kenya has a lot of family in Houston. She just had to totally rearrange her schedule to get there. The Houston filming was clearly not planned in advance and the other had that weekend free to take other bookings. Or be with their children. So it was a big ask to get people to drop everything and get there. Later, Shamea and Porsha try to make up. And the do. It was cute.
Kenya actually has a third event that she put together with Habitat For Humanity where they will have to do some heavy lifting and not just write a check or host a party. Porsha’s event is at 11 and Kenya’s is at 12. Members of Kenya’s family are there. Cynthia bails on Porsha’s event for Kenya. Drama will ensue.
It’s time for Porsha’s event. She says “You can always host an event, but my team planned he event ourselves.” That was some shade to Cynthia. She is feeding people and way more people have shown up for food. Porshas is very upset they are running out of food. Her crying makes me cry.
Kenya’s event is heartbreaking. Kenya tells fans she is not there to take photos they have work to do. Kenya is a taskmaster on tearing out all the drywall. Kenya can’t even talk to Shamea long enough to tell her where to meet her. When Shamea arrives and Kenya puts her on trash bag duty. Shamea says she is there on behalf of her sister and she has a check for her. Kenya is a straight up bitch to her. It’s sad when Porsha looks better on camera than Kenya, but that’s what I am seeing. Then again, Beck, the showrunner hates Kenya and this is her payback for not having her man on the show. Well this and her being fired for next season. Le sigh.
And they are all off to the same restaurant for an end of the episode brawl. At dinner, Cynthia gets a lot of flack for not supporting Porsha’s event when Porsha came to hers. Shamea and Lauren felt (rightly) disrespected by Kenya. Cynthia has to defend herself and Kenya. Where is Kenya? Ah, Beck gives her a later call time to walk into the middle of this conversation. The kitchen is closed so Kenya doesn’t even get to eat. I see you Micheal Beck. You better not fuck up RHONY like you have fucked up this season. Kenya says she will just drink. Except, Kenya doesn’t drink. So this whole, “Only beer and wine what kind of place do y’all got me in?” is SOFA KING scripted. She just orders water which is what she always drinks anyway. There are a lot of playful jabs at Kenya about her taskmaster attitude. Kenya’s lines are very scripted, asking for more water… It’s all very not Kenya. I do not understand why she is playing this role? I guess for the same reason Porsha is. It’s a paycheck. Unfortunately, it’s not enough for Kenya to keep hers. I wish she had not succumbed to the bullying of production at this point. I am disappointed in her. Even Cynthia is trying to help her get out of this scene and she is not having it.
Kenya goes off to the bathroom. Kenya says there is a time where she would have lit Shamea up and read her for filth but she is in a different place right now. Can ANYONE explain to me what Shamea did other than go to her event and carry trash bags to support her? Who is this women who looks like Kenya? In the bathroom with producers she plays the victim. I don’t understand what I am seeing here. She says the whole table, (flash to Cynthia) is stupid as shit and she is tired of every good thing she does being turned around on her. Okay. Beck has completed his mission. I am ready for her to go. No spinoff. No nothing. Just go. Then she screams at production “That’s why Marc don’t want to be a part of this because every time they are trashing his wife!”
Then Beck sends PORSHA into the bathroom with Kenya. She’s demanding that her microphone be removed. She flips off the camera. Kenya flips off the cameras. WTF is going on here? Who is this woman? Cynthia goes out to the car to talk to Kenya before she leaves and she says, “This is my moment.” I hope that is not true. I’ve known Kenya was leaving for some time. But apparently she already knows she is toast and is going to show her behind for the last half of the season.
Next Week: Kenya’s replacement, Eva Marcille arrives. Don’t act like I didn’t warn you.
Bravo waited until the end to give us the juicy episodes, I actually really enjoyed this episode tonight. While I don’t believe Bravo is trying to sabotage this franchise, they gotta start going with what makes sense rather than what’s popular. Marlo, Shamea and Eva definitely deserved bigger roles because they obviously were more committed verses Kim who was just filming and going along for a check. Kenya and Porsha were definitely nasty towards Shamea for no reason and it was uncalled for, but happy her and Porsha were able to make up. Kandi has to stop putting Riley in uncomfortable situations during filming, the scene started off great but she’s very sensitive when it comes to her dad and Kandi should start to ask Riley if she wants to film and talk about certain things before the camera crew comes. I love Kenya but she has no place on this show anymore, it was good seeing Porsha going to check on her and show’s maturity no matter how any of us feel about Porsha.
I also would like to add that I think coming on Season 5, Porsha was a fan of Kenya’s and was looking forward to being on the show with someone she watched growing up. Do you know how hurt I would be if I was on a show and found out someone I admired was gonna be on to, but the person hated me to pieces? Season 6 reunion was unfortunate but I honestly don’t think Porsha has hate for Kenya the way Kenya does her.
Thank you! We are watching the same show. I don’t know what the others are watching.
Love Jones, ARE YOU ON CRACK? Kenya is 46 and Porsha stays on the show because she it 36 lolololoololololol
I agree TT…Porsha gives no f*cks about anyone. Kenya was annoyed because of production. She does not like the direction of the show this season. Porsha checked on Kenya because she was told to.
All I’m saying is Tamara, just like when Kandi came on the show she loved and was a fan of Nene but they had issues unfortunately. Porsha has said plenty of times that she loved Kenya before the show and was looking forward to learning things from her, but unfortunately the relationship went left for years after Porsha got her title wrong. Not making any excuses for Porsha but I’m just saying.
I think you need rewatch those scenes. Porsha was totally mocking Kenya with the Miss America cracks.
Yes, that’s my memory, too. Porsha was mocking her, and Kenya huffed out of the event. I will never forget the way the camera lingered on Kenya’s giant behind in that white dress, bobbling away in the darkness.
Agree, TT. Was the term “ashy” used at one point??
That’s what I thought. I don’t remember Porsha showing admiration for Kenya at all. My impression was that Porsha wasn’t bright enough to realize the significance of what Kenya had accomplished using not just her looks, but also using her brain.
Love Jones, ARE YOU ON CRACK? Kenya is 46 and Porsha stays on the show because she it 36 lolololoololololol
Wasn’t Porsha super rude to her put of the gate? Announcing tje wrong title, shading her at that tent event? And that was just the start of Porsha’s poor behavior towards Kenya.
I understood it. Kenya was tired, hungry and therefore irritable and Shamea just would not let it go. Then the whole damn table piled on, even her friend, Cynthia. I would have left as well but without making a scene. Just go to the bathroom, remove the mic pack and exit stage left, no goodbye necessary.
Same. They were making something out of nothing on behalf of production and Kenya wasn’t here for it. They really took thunder from her good deed because people here in Houston said she was sweet and a hard worker.
I agree completely. She fell right into that trap. I would have dismissed myself and said not-one-word.
I don’t know why she didn’t just say, “I’m so sorry I was a bit short-tempered today. It was a very exhausting day, not just physically but emotionally. I have family here and it’s all very personal to me.I should have responded more kindly to you”
I think this is the first time I’ve really seen Kenya lose her composure. As a pageant girl of the highest order, she excels and staying cool under pressure.
This show pissed me the fuck off. It’s the beginning of the end of things with Kenya. They are going to make her look like shit for the rest of the season.
OTOH, they could not do it without her help and she gave them a LOT of help.
I’m so sad and disappointed in Kenya but I still love our girl. I hate Michael Beck. I think Kenya is beyond over RHOA and must’ve thought to herself, you want a show well here it is. She’s turned off all her comments and hasnt live tweeted as usual. I hope she’s okay. I think, she too realizes her behaviour was not okay. Maybe something happened with family and she was not having it. I do hope Kenya shows up and shows out at the reunion and goes to her happily ever after…she deserves it. RHOA is sinking faster than the Titanic. They need to bring back Carlos and keep Kenya. Michael Beck should stay with DBT.
I still think Kenya is hoping for her own spin-off so she is over these women?
btw, Fly Eagles Fly!
Yes fellow “Birdgang”.. Superbowl here we come…..lol…
And goodbye Kenya!
YES!! FLY EAGLES FLY!! I’ll be in Philly at the parade!
I usually don’t comment, i just come here lurk and read. I love your blog btw. However, Kenya was saying “this is NOT a moment” not this my moment. I took that to mean this wasn’t the moment for the cameras. I believe she felt betrayed by Cynthia for siding with the folks at the table. No one but Cynthia mentioned how hard she worked for the cause. Shamea wanted camera time. That’s why she just happen to call Porsche when she did and why she made a mountain out of a molehill with Kenya. I do think Kenya was a little extra but not to the point where shamea could not have addresses it off camera.
I will never understand why production hates Kenya so much TT. I would think they love her after bringing IT 5 seasons straight. Carlos King never treated Kenya with so much disdain as the putrid Beck.
I agree TT. I believe it was the the stress and constant ridicule from everyone about her marriage. I’m sure Marc was not pleased. She was trying to juggle her new marriage and a show runner determined to make her miserable. It was too much….and Kenya has taken a lot of shit on this show. I hate to see her go out like this.
Well then Kenya, don’t be on a fricking show about “housewives” if your husband is off limits. Ridiculous!
How did she even qualify for the show when she has never been married?
Probably the same way Kim Z did just being a mistress to a married man. Guess it’s not a necessary “requirement”. ✌?
Thank you!
I think she would be glad to show her husband If this network/franchise wasn’t determined to cause drama and create a hostile environment.
Production would have had to scrap the entire scene had Kenya gone mute along with a Miss USA smile as they attacked her at the restaurant.
Cynthia is the saddest of the lot because she really acts like she is friends with Kenya even after not receiving and invite or being told about her marriage. She needs to make Kenya sign a friendship contract to sort out appropriate bestie behavior.
Kenya has been at this game long enough to know better. She is probably pulling Kim Bierman and playing hardball regarding negotiating her husband appearing with her on a spin off for which they are both executive producers.
I do not feel sorry for her.
We all need to protest beck and Kim to bravo!
There has to be more to Kenyas treatment of Shamea? Am I missing something?
Maybe because Shamea is #TeamPorsha again… #ThinkAboutIt
Yes yes! That was my initial thought. This was the lady who trashed her hair care products at the launch party after all.
I thought it was kind of ballsy of Shamea to come after Kenya. Kenya is the Queen and who is Shamea again?
I couldn’t even watch the last of the show. The attacks on Kenya at the table were enough for me.
Kenya was rude to Shamea. And the “no talking” – that was ridiculous. As if you cannot talk and tear out drywall. Kenya should have said, “I was so upset over the devastation and it manifested itself in some bossy behavior and I am sorry.” Then it would have been over. Instead, she pulled a Nene.
I couldn’t believe the way Kenya and Porsha treated Shamea. How about Bravo replace Shamea with Porsha because Shamea is married. Cynthia and Porsha was getting along then Cynthia just switched on her. I’m not saying Porsha is always right but she was putting her issues to the side in Houston and everyone gave her their “ass to kiss”.
No….Kenya was pissed about how production was setting up the scenes. Kenya wanted the focus to be about the work. Production wants mess and drama. She’s not here for this shit. Then there was the fall out from her marriage becoming public and she has suddenly become a target of production and the network for keeping it secret.
At last we get some Porsha coverage!! Production is changing her image for something great. Stay Tuned !!
Block and Riley trying to establish some type of father/daughter relationship should not be played out on television. It should be private, since Riley is only 15, and it is a (understandably) sore subject for her.
I’m shocked at how impressed I was with Porsha in this episode, and shocked at how disappointed I am with Kenya. Shamea was not coming for her, she was just trying to have a conversation. Kenya was very rude and dismissive, even about Cynthia. Bizarre.
At least there was some uplifting footage about helping Houston!
The footage of Riley’s discomfort, then tears, over Block’s phone call, was really upsetting. Kandi has no business putting that aspect of her family’s life on TV, and Bravo is shameless to allow it. It must be particularly tough for her to hear that her dad is at the hospital for the birth of another one of his kids, when he was absent from her birth and much of her life. Just leave this poor child alone.
Um didnt Kandi state she was surprised as HELL, when Block’s wife popped up and rolled up in on her????
Agree. I was shocked that production had Block call to announce that he was at the hospital. No wonder Riley was hurt. And her mother knows she is so uncomfortable on camera in the best of circumstances. No excuse, Kandi.
I respected Kenya for not making the devastation into a celebrity event. She was actually helping people. I live here in Houston it was a scary time.
See TT, these ARE Kenya’s TRUE COLORS that you have been sugarcoating since she has been on this show. She was very rude to Shamea who was there to support her. She bashed Cynthia and her Sister by calling them “stupid benches at the MF’n table.”
Wrong
What are you talking about? TT doesn’t sugar coat shit. She just sprayed Kenya in her review because her behaviour was unacceptable. Something must have happened with Kenya. She is way too savvy and calculated to lose her cool like that. Shamea would not have gone if Porsha told her not to although Kenya reached out. She basically asked for Porsha’s permission by saying to Porsha that Kenya doesn’t support her. None of these women are perfect, your precious Porsha is an entire lie so if she can bounce back from being a ho ass liar who tried to tarnish Kandi’s name and reputation then surely Kenya can bounce back from having a bitchy moment or two. I don’t like Porsha’s sister because she’s so quick to try and put the other women in their places but can’t be her sisters’ keeper. How many altercations has Porsha been in? Where is Lara to check her in those moments? I don’t like seeing Kenya on this show with MB as showrunner. The entire season is a mess when it could’ve been iconic. Le sigh.
Shamea and Lauren were doing too much. Seems like 2nd stream FOH were running this episode & I didn’t like it. Kenya saw the set up & it pissed her off. The fact that Cynthia was willing to go along with it hurt her feelings. Without her back up, she lost it. Kim being Porsha’s friend is why she’s getting the makeover edit. I damn near feel from this write up that Bravo may have even sent a little cash to this blog. Everything is looking suspect. Kenya said Marc won’t do the show because they trash her & this is true. She did a charity event and sleazy Shamea with the “hurt feelings” want a way in by being late, not knowing where to come & camera time. Why wasn’t Shamea at her BFF’s event instead? I smell a set up. TT the only way you could have missed that would have been under an incentive to miss it.
Agree, the button pushing of Kenya is absurd, I’d loose my shit too
We all need to remember that Kenya is receiving hormone therapy for fertility treatments also.
Perhaps she is. I believe she will end up with IVF.
Agreed!
Well I hope whoever is paying me this week sends lots of money. Usually I am accused of being paid by Kenya, and I never saw that money. I’m pleased someone new is paying me now. Is it Andy Cohen?
All I’m saying is how did you miss this??? You usually don’t miss anything! Not one thing. Plus the previews show that Marc will come on the show eventually & you’re still pushing the fired story. You haven’t even spilled tea on him coming on. Andy should pay you for trolling your blog & having production counteract your tea!
I didn’t miss anything. Kenya was a bitch on this episode and Porsha came off smelling like a rose. I am writing about what I see on the TV as it happens. It is what it is.
I know you think Marc is coming on the show. He is not. He did not sign a release. He attended a couple of tapings and hung out in the back. The scene they are teasing is one of them His face will not be seen. I saw no point to explain one more time that Marc will not be on RHOA as I’ve said it a billion times now. It’s clear to me you are not going to believe it until season 11 begins without Kenya. So just sit down and look cute until then.
I’m pretty sure it is not possible for someone to troll their own blog. I don’t think those words mean what you think they do.
Wow! Just wow. Sorry you feel slighted. Didn’t say Kenya wasn’t a bitch. Just saying you usually dig deeper. Anyone can see Shamea’s photo op was hella irritating to Kenya & the “hurt feelings” set up scene was done to make Kenya look bad. Also Shamea showing up where she was not invited was a part of the poking but ok. I sit & look amazing in everything I do. So that won’t be a chore at all. If Kenya is fired I won’t watch but if she goes on her own I might watch. I’m saying Andy should pay you because it appears someone over there is setting up scenes to make it look like you didn’t have the tea all along when it’s obvious you do. Me being suspicious has nothing to do with you personally. Know that.
Kenya is usually too smart to give them anything to use against her, but she did on this episode and Beck got exactly what he wanted. No body set her up to call all the other ladies dumb motherfuckers or whatever she called them in the bathroom or to flip off the cameras. That’s not the Kenya we normally see.
This is production turning the corner into the bad edit… and softening the edit of Porsha. I’m not sure there is anything else to say about it.
I think TT has been accused of being Kenya, even by Andy….Kenya wouldn’t come on to her own blog to talk about how bad she looked on the episode. Andy doesn’t care for TT and has talked about TT on his satellite show without naming names!! He knows TT has the inside scoop and can’t produce anything substantial to counteract TT’s tea.
I hear you and I understand TT saying Kenya gave Beck what he wanted, and this episode is not the Kenya we usually see. But lots of factors could have been in play – including Marc being there, because she did not act that way when Marc was not there. And I made a post here last night about Kenya’s need to be lady-like, per usual. But DARN.. I was crossing the street in Gotham a little fast today because a family member is pretty sick, and this ? ach gave me this look as if I was outre’ as they say.. And DARN — if I did not almost give her the finger in the middle of the street, because she was so deliberately nasty .. and say “Take that *itch! Now be upset!” But I said to myself, “Remember Kenya. Don’t do it, Don’t do it!” But I almost did! And I think I now know how Kenya felt!
Finally Porsha wearing the Hosea TShirt and giving fans a glimpse of what her family foundation is about. Grandfather Hosea would be proud.
Playing the vapid and silly side for these past years has disappointed me. She finally lives up to her legacy. I hope it lasts more than 5 minutes
And it only took 5 seasons of her to stop twerking to do so. Finally.
Poorsha is/was not playing anything. We saw who she actually is all these years.
I wonder if she wears it with her married sugar daddies. Allegedly.
I am going to miss Kenya, and imho she basically rebooted this franchise. I think Bravo is ungrateful, and there must be a backstory to her behavior tonight, in addition to her being very tired. I hope she returns to her usually classy countenance before the season ends, and goes out like the lady she has always been.
I just have to say the tragedy and devastation the hurricane did to Houston and surrounding regions is heartbreaking! Despite both Kenya and Porsha having extremely polarizing, negative qualities, in there own way they did a good thing on tonight’s show. Also, Cynthia, Mallory, Shamea and Porsha’s half sister. Is Mallory still married btw?
Yup. You did warn us but in no way was I prepared for THAT.
“Schemed by Sheree” did NOT disappoint!! Her back hurts y’all!! She is thrilled that this event was documented, let me tell you!! I have never liked Kenya-not one little bit.
T.T once again thanks for coming through with this recap.
I see folks are going off on Kenya like crazy. People need to relax and give Kenya a break. Kenya worked really hard for the cause. I don’t believe it was Kenya’s intention to be rude to Shamea . Shamea needs to get over her feelings, folks have lost their homes and their emotions killed but you want to dramatize your feelings. Wrong place and wrong time. This episode has Beck ‘s foolery written all over it, working overtime behind the scenes to create unnecessary drama .
I love that Kandi isn’t buying the bullshit Porsha is selling.
loved the recap but upset how the show went tonight.
Kenya is pissed and just taking it out on the weaker ones. I didn’t see anything wrong with Shamea .Is it because she is friends with Porsha ?
Glad that Houston was shown and the girls doing their part to help ,if they have the platform use it to the fullest.
The big question I have is did Porsha fly out to Texas ?
WoW I can see Sheree being a man hater,a guy in prison is safe . I seriously think she has her own scam going down with that accident.
Wish I could sue the deer that totaled my car and gave me whiplash.
Kandi was smart for removing mic ,Riley had everyright to be upset Block has a new baby excited and Riley was upset ..
It’s pretty obvious that Sheree must be working on getting a check from the accident. It seems as if every scene she is complaining about her back. Unfortunately, it’s not believable. If her back hurts the way she portrays, she wouldn’t be filming -but in bed. It comes off as documentation for a check,
I couldn’t agree more Stacy !
Sheree is disingenuous.
It wouldn’t surprise me if that felon, Tyrone, has taught her a thing or two on scamming for that check.
Kenya was right to be ticked off, these women are so self-entitled and we don’t know how many times Kenya may have heard them complain about…God forbid…working on something other than getting their makeup done.
I’d have the exact amount of patience with them as she had, they all get to go home to their comfortable homes.
It is not about whose tender feelings get hurt too bad…..its about getting your ass into the job at hand and help people that do not have said comfortable homes anymore
What in the hell was Kenya’s deal filming that episode? She was rude rude rude. Like TT said, Beck wants to light the fire but without Kenya giving him the fuel he’d have nothing. Can’t blame editing for what you’ve said and done. I’m not one to go routing for Porsha but she was the one getting down to it and not making it about her for once. The fact that Kenya went so hard at Nene for her stank attitude at a charity event a couple of seasons ago just goes to show she’s a hypocrite. She kept shouting “this is not a moment” too (at the table, bathroom and in the car) maybe she thought this was all a set up? Oh well, so much for rising above the negativity and staying positive. Wonder what poor little puppy dog Cynthia will do when her master leaves, I doubt Nene will take her back so easily.
Lol. What the hell were you watching? Porsha and Lara sat at that damn table grilling Cynthia and Mal about not coming out to support Porsha. I think one would be safe in assuming that the statement alone, clearly makes it about PORSHA. At the end of the day, Cynthia was helping rebuild homes after the devastation. All the ladies did good deeds, I don’t understand why they would then make it an issue. If Porsha needed someone so bad, she shouldn’t have sent Shamea to HFH. It was about none of those bitches, it was about helping Houston and the people.
Say it! People see what they WANT to see and clearly ignore all other facts.
You’re right, some people do see what they want to see. Like you for example ignoring everything Kenya did and turning the topic to Porsha… btw her sister is called Lauren.
She was a decent human being for once, she made nothing about herself whilst she was undertaking the task at hand. She expressed her disappointment AFTER feeding and providing aid to the homeless, that Cynthia flaked out on her. They fed nearly 2000 people (i think she said) and was counting on them helping to support a worthy cause. Cynthia chose instead to stand about bitching about the heat whilst Kenya twirled with a sledge hammer acting like she’d just injected a pharmacy worth of steroids, chastising everyone for going too slow and treating them with contempt. In this instance Kenya made a complete ass of herself and turned what was a segment on two HWs trying to give back into drama.
I see a woman who’s had enough. I completely understand why she would be pissed. Like I’m knee deep in drywall trying to help a family get over complete life devastation and you’re gonna tell me I made you feel a bit uncomfortable? Pick your time and situation.
Also I think Kenya is smart enough to see through Porsha And her “tell Kenya I wanna donate in front of everyone” reputation rehabilitation bullshit.
I don’t think she was saying “this is my moment,” but “this is not a moment,” as in, “bitch do not play me for the cameras I’m not here for it.”
Go Kenya. Tell them they’re all moronic bitches and go and live your best life.
She definitely said “this is not a moment” multiple times. I think that’s her code word for I’m not about to partake in these shenanigans, END SCENE.
Can we talk about Sheree’s old broken phone when she was talking to her jailbird boyfriend. This is not the same phone she used when she called Nene from the restaurant few episodes ago. Did anyone notice this?
I was thinking that was some production shade… they kept zooming in on her old busted ass phone, and her hands with nails that DESPERATELY needed infills, in her big ‘ole mansion made of unfinished concrete…
Is it possible that her prison boo doesn’t have her real phone number and she uses some random phone number when he calls?
Agree 100% on infills, she needs to get them puppies fixed ASAP.
They should have just named this episode – “Welcome to the Porsha Show “. Her voice just urks me. She was so excited to have somebody to ‘film’ with – ughhhh !
Kandi – did you notice how Brock didn’t have any food in that refrigerator ?…LOL..Next time, tell him not to swing the refrigerator door open so wide…..
It felt like I was watching ‘Team B’ (Shamea, Mallory & Lauren)….LOL
Leave Kenya alone ya’ll…she’s entitled to have a bad day. She ‘married now’…I say “she’s married now”..LOL… still love her #TeamKenya
I came immediately to see if Tamara had the background info on what caused Kenya to behave that way. I guess there’s just no excuse for bad behavior. Kenya was pretty curt to everyone – even her BFF Cynthia. You can be focused on the work without being so curt. I live in Houston and appreciate their help tremendously.
@Shadiest Grove – Thanks for pinpointing why I don’t like Porsha’s sister. I don’t care very much for Mal either. Seems like Mal wanted a peach at one time, jmo. We know Shamea wants one.
It would be awesome if Kenya’s outburst is what keeps her on RHOA (bigger ratings). I know Tamara, but I can hope, right?
Pretty sure Kenya said “this is NOT a moment”, as in, her tantrum would not be filmed. I still find something strange about her “marriage”. She’s not dumb and knew her comments about Marc would be heard by production. She acts like someone playing house as opposed to a woman in a real marriage. Sorry, but she has cried wolf too many times.
No she has NOT “cried wolf” many times. That’s what your fav brainwashed you to believe. You have to remember the constant hazing from the beginning of her start on the show was to break her down. All the chicks on there – including NeNe- were having a problem with her popularity & penchant for producing receipts. She’s married to a man who doesn’t want reality tv fame. It’s awkward because both the show and her husband are a part of her life. She’s never been married so she not “playing” she’s learning. Geesh.
You don’t know anything about her marriage to find something “strange” about it. You people kill me acting like Kenya is one of our friends or family member and you never see Marc at the annual family cookout so something’s going on with their marriage. Kenya has waited a long time for real love. If she has learnt from past behaviours and is doing things differently then more power to her. She is a newlywed whose husband is not a con artist, a thief, a serial cheater, etc. Marc is a highly respected businessman whose well educated and has a family that would not want their daughter in law, sister in law, step-mother looking all kinds of crazy and impacting on Marc and all he’s achieved. Cut the shit about her marriage because you DON’T KNOW SHIT about it. By the way, Kenya said what she said. She wanted production to know that Marc thinks they are low down and dirty especially when it pertains to her and rather than wreck shit if and when someone disrespects his wife, he’ll keep his composure at home while working. As soon as Kenya rolled up that window on Cynthia, that’s the first call she made..to her husband to let him know the hyenas and racoons are at it again.
Yes. Agree with all of this. People try to define her behavior while pretending like something else is going on. Production is teaching people to gaslight everyone who is not their fav. Most of this issues come from the ladies all getting mad at each other when someone doesn’t go along with their storyline. It started with the fallout with Phaedra & Kenya until Phaedra was off the show. Now production is trying to play Kenya’s actual reality off as not being real while the others get to use fake storylines (not Kandi) as so called “reality” for ratings.
Right. As if they KNOW her personally. SMH at these delusional know-it-all ppl.
yes yes, Kenya is a witch. She was awful to delicate Shamea.
I mean, really? She was snappy, as she should be. No bulshit has place in a disaster zone like Huston. Can you imagine Bethenny taking it? Let’s say it is RHONY and Sonja says “I’m here on behalf of Ramona”. Please, Bethenny would kill them both.
So on one hand we have demolishing destroyed walls, on the other we have hurt feelings of Shamea which must be discussed at the table full of fake bitches (sorry Cynthia 🙂 with cameras all over the place. I have mixed feelings about Kenya, not her fan to be honest, but in this case I am 100% team Kenya. If your feelings were hurt Shamea take the f*ing hammer and demolish a wall! Those f*ing tv personalities, Jesus!
Exactly! Exactly! Exactly!
BEST… POST… EVER!!!
At both events Porsha was incredibly respectful and even got emotional that they had run out of food to give to those affected. She spoke to Cynthia afterwards and I think you too would be a little peeved if a friend said they would support a very worthy cause you had invited them to, to then turn around and be like “nah” because they received another offer…
Oops, I meant to post that as a reply on my original post. My bad ?
IF that’s the case then why did Shamea ditch Porsha’s event and go support Kenya’s . Sounds like a production set-up to me. Just saying.
BITCH! Cynthia is not Porsha’s friend. Porsha has NO friends on RHOA. Da fuq is wrong with y’all?!
Ugh, you again. ?
Kenya just confirmed there was “behind the scenes” drama with production.
**************************************************
Thank you @cynthiabailey10 and @mal_bailey I know I was tough that day but you guys stayed focused. Getting that special needs child and her mom back into her home was our intent and not the Made for TV distractions thrown at us to make a positive situation negative to try to rehabilitate someone’s poor image. Cameras never tell the FULL story. @cynthiabailey10 is a true friend who NEVER blindly defends me. She is the toughest person I know and quick to put me in my place. She said I was being rude. She said “she didn’t see all that”. And FYI we all attended @porsha4real Last “event” after gutting our house in 100 degree weather just before it ended. There is no excuse for me being rude to @shameamorton and we later talked at a more appropriate time. I appreciate her efforts. But the nonsense at that table you didn’t see or hear is what I reacted to. Certain people chastising and criticizing Cynthia for not being at certain “events” when NO ONE else would travel to support her. People forcing a reaction and a scene for camera time… that’s what I reacted to. Thank you to @habitatforhumanity whom I’ve always supported and have personally donated building materials and raised over $5k to help underprivileged families afford homes of their own. I’ll take this one on the chin and continue to stay focused and #staywoke #RHOA
This is all I’ve been trying to say in every comment. Our precious TT usually gets to this perspective quicker but this time…
I think TT gets it as usual although she did give up on Kenya and now was to see her gone without knowing all the facts. From what I understood in her recap, her point is that production set Kenya up and she fell for it when she could have maintained her cool.
Kenya is aware that production does not like her and her husband not filming has made matters worse. So she should have done is to play their game by not falling for the traps they have setup for her. That is the best way to go about it IF Kenya wants to remain on the show.
At this point none of us know exactly how Kenya feels. Not me, you or TT. However, what TT knows and is convinced is that Kenya is not coming back in season 11. I think it appears to be true.
From all indications, it appears to me that Kenya is done with the drama and may not be wanting to come back either. So if that is the case, then I can understand why she refused to maintain her cool and engaged in the drama. When people are fed up, they let people have it and that is exactly what she did in last night’s show. The show can be damned for all she cares and I say good for her. Stay focus on your marriage and leave the negative drama behind. In this stressful environment, she will never be able to have that baby she is dying for.
I agree.
Lets be clear, this was not a Porsha event, this was a Hosea Feed The Hungry And Hungry event. Porsha should have brought the foundation and it’s work forward from her 1st season through now. Not only does the foundation provide a great benefit to ATL but to any area like NOLA or Houston when needed. Hosea Williams was not only a civil rights icon but a great humanitarian. This is why I can’t abide Porsha, she doesn’t do much to promote her grandfathers legacy. This episode made it look like Porsha had an event. Porsha could be doing so much that is good for others.
That said, the women in this show, especially those from the A (Kandii, Nene) should know the foundation and not refused to participate. Bravo did not present this well, they were complicit in making this a Porsha event.
I have wondered how many of them participate in Hosea’s Thanksgiving feed the hungry. Bravo isn’t filming then so there is no personal benefit. You can be sure the A lusters are there. They don’t ask for publicity
People from Atlanta have very different views on Hosea Williams. I’ll just leave it at that.
I would love for you to expand on this TT…if you can. Perhaps on a slow news day. I saw a few people on twitter and IG state that they were giving side-eyes when it comes to the HW Foundation.
Yes, I’d like the scoop too…or maybe just some bread crumbs. Not finding any controversy on the interwebs and thought he was a straight up good man.
Sorry, Hosea feed the hungry and HOMELESS, not hungry and hungry
Pretty sure she said, “This is not a moment”.
Clearly, people don’t actually read the comments here.
TT, was kenya doing IVF while filming? When I was on hormone replacement therapy, I was a bitch on wheels. I would be nice one minute, and the next, I was ready to bitch slap my entire family..
I don’t think so. Kenya has been “starting IVF” for years. She is not really forthcoming with that information. So it is impossible to verify.
I want to point out from experience that volunteering to help after a disaster, particularly directly in the affected community, is stressful in its own right. It is hard to be surrounded by all of that destruction and devastated families and not be affected. From a disaster mental health standpoint, Kenya’s reactions were well within the bounds of what we see in response to the stress, even without the production and tv drama issues. Under any other circumstances, I would say Kenya was just being a diva, but this is different. Add the fact that she was probably tired and hungry, and I totally understand her behavior at the restaurant. Just thought I would add that perspective.
Well said. There were so many factors that played into Kenya’s reaction. It’s not just cut and dry. Kenya wasn’t her best in her responses but all-in-all, it’s forgivable and not something that should be held against her long-term.
When Kenya said this is not a moment. I’m sorry it is a moment. It’s your reality, and this is what we tune for and not for fabricated storylines.

Kenya came to Houston PISSED.
I honestly think she came off better storming off than bashing Shamea who really was the MVP of the episode (coming to volunteer without having to have HER event with HER name on it, and forgiving porsha for not attending her wedding)
Wonder if she was pissed because she had to cancel her plans or production shenanigans.. but she was mean to Cynthia and Mallory too (or so Mallory said)
I do appreciate the recaps, but I liked your recaps much more, when you didnt add your own opinions to them. Perhaps you could give less opinions in future?
Are you really this stupid Sheri? THIS WEBSITE IS WHERE I GIVE MY OPINION ON TV SHOWS. IT IS LITERALLY WHAT THE SITE IS ABOUT YOU DUMBFUCK (that’s another one of my opinions).
Bhuahaha!!!
I keep seeing commercials for AP BIO a new sit com where a guying is stuck teaching Bio in some small town for some reason. He’s miserable. He refuses to teach BIO, and leaves the students alone in class a lot.
The principal says “You can’t leave them alone!” BIO says, “They are old enough to get pregnant surely they are old enough to be left on their own.” And the principal is like, “THAT IS EXACTLY WHY YOU CAN’T LEAVE THEM ALONE!”
That is what this commenter reminds me of.
Bloop !
LMAO!
Are you lost? TV Guide is to the left.
Safe travels!
