Am I the only one that feels like this season of RHOA should be coming to a merciful end soon? The first half of the season was so very boring that half of us didn’t even bother to tune in until the Tokyo trip. Plus, the regular schedule has the international trip toward the end, but this season it came earlier because Eva’s wedding is supposed to be the finale. So we have a long way to go with this season. It’s like a road trip on I-10 through Texas. You keep going and going and going and you are still just getting started. The scenery never changes and it is a long haul until you can find a stop to buy a cold bottle of Lipton’s to quench your thirst, and then the journey continues.
It does seem a few glimmers of hope exist. Cynthia’s relationship deepens. The filming season has been over for three months and Cynthia has either gotten Mike Hill to commit for another season, or this could be a real relationship. Much like Kenya Moore though, Cynthia’s man has strong ties in a faraway state and she needs to ride RHOA until the wheels fall off because her eyewear and luggage isn’t going to keep her to the style to which she has become accustomed. I honestly haven’t heard much or seen Cynthia pushing her products since 2017. Does she even still have those businesses? And she wants to keep Lake Bailey as a vacation house if she moves to LA. So this relationship is not quite as solid as she might have us think.
Shamari seems like she may have a drinking problem. Or a husband problem. Or a fidelity problem when it comes to Shamari and other women. It looks like Kandi is going to take good care of Shamari though.
Eva’s wedding seems fraught with so many fights (probably with Nene who we will get to in a minute) that it is hard to say if she is crying tears of joy or something is wrong when she finally makes it down the aisle. Fortunately, it all works out in the end and we know everyone is there.
Kandi Burruss just keeps on keeping on with her many business ventures, two new OLG restaurants, another big performance and her sold out dungeon party where we see some girl on girl action finally happens between Kandi and Cynthia. We learned in the trailer that Todd was skeptical about the IVF and surrogacy processes. In the end though, he got on board and there may already be a surrogate carrying their baby.
Tanya doesn’t have a huge presence on the trailer. I love how they hired a wealthy woman who works hard in the community for the good of others. Tanya began her career as a nurse before relocating to Atlanta where she runs a business that helps match upcoming entrepreneurs with start up funds. She is also very involved in charity work. Basically, she is the type of cast member this show was supposed to be about before they cast a bunch of hoodums with shady pasts (hello Kim Z and Nene Leakes and Sheree Whitfield). Tanya is too good for this show.
Porsha’s pregnancy and upcoming engagement amid the little of Dennis’s cast off (are they really cast off?) former THOTs continues to be her storyline.
Which brings us to Nene Leakes who we see causing a huge commotion because she can’t handle being Gregg’s caretaker. She actually says she wants a divorce. She screams at everyone. She attacks and threatens a cameraman. She has a nervous breakdown. The thing is long after filming ended, Nene was still on Twitter talking shit about Gregg and how he was abusive and awful and she could not take it anymore. Since then, she has been to LA several times, most recently for Andy’s baby shower, back and forth to Miami, recently she was at the superbowl, oddly as some sort of cancer spokesperson. We saw her threatening to block Greggs calls when she was in Tokyo.
I feel like she has already left Gregg. What do you think?
See the mid-season trailer below
I haven’t watched this season. It’s too loud and nasty.
I find myself turning it on, then drifting away only to be woken up by a bunch of women screaming or screaching at each other. LOUD is this show and it sucks. Boring and loud. R
It wouldn’t surprise me if she’s already left Greg, but then what would her storyline be? She’s already tried the divorce/dating scenario and that didn’t work out for her. Greg would probably be better off without her.
I don’t think she will divorce Gregg, because unlike the last time they divorced, she has a lot to lose. Because this time Gregg will surely be awarded Spousal Support plus half the house. That will surely knock her income down a few notches.
What a shame for Gregg and NeNe.
What a shame for Gregg.
I think that NeNe needs a cancer support group and a good therapist. Greg also needs a cancer support group and a good therapist. They then need to pursue therapy together as a couple to support them as they fight this terrible disease. NeNe has access to resources and should use them.
I lost my husband 10 months ago to cancer. I was by his side the whole time.He died in my arms. It was hard to watch him in pain. He did lash out because of his pain. It wasn’t his fault. I wish the best for Gregg and NeNe!
So sorry for your loss. Your husband was lucky to have you by his side. We should all have that depth of love in our last days.
I’m so sorry for your loss, Marie. I went through that with my Mother and I was so Blessed to have had that time with her. It takes a very strong person to make that journey. It’s not easy.
I’m not watching this season, but really feel for Gregg and NeNe. I hope they get through this.
Sending hugs and condolences to you Marie. You and your husband faced a dreadful disease together with love and that is beautiful. ❤️
I’m so sorry for your loss, I lost my husband 24 yrs ago in a plane crash and still miss him every day. Prayers for you & your family.
Nene forgot the part of her wedding vows where it says “in sickness and in health”
Agree! Very sad.
And till death do us part.
You know that if Nene were the sick one, Gregg would not leave her side. He would wait on her hand and foot! But, Nene is one of the most narcissistic people on reality tv, in my observation. She loves, loves, loves the spotlight, and she wants everything to be about NENE and nothing else! She can’t handle having to be the nurturer. Caring for a spouse with cancer is be trying on even the most loving, caring, empathetic and devoted spouse, so you can only imagine how taxing it has been on Nene who doesn’t have those attributes. Maybe I am calling it wrong, but Nene certainly comes across as being very self-centered. I feel bad for Gregg, but it appears that he has quite a few grown children that can help him and care for him going forth. As a sidenote: Nene was drooling all over John Mayer at Andy’s baby shower. She was talking about how hot he is and asking if he ever tried out a chocolate girl, or something of that nature. He said yes so she kept talking about how SWEET she tasted, etc…it was grossly sexually flirtatious. Very disrespectful stuff to say while your spouse is home suffering from cancer.
John Mayer don’t want Nene. Nene hustled an American Cancer Society ambassadorship just to get free Superbowl tickets, and didn’t even take Gregg, she took Marlo. Then had the nerve to go Twitter to try and get a cheap ticket for a teenager, aka, Brentt. Nene only cares about herself. A diagnois like cancer can break you if you dont have proper insurance. I don’t know if this is the reason Nene will not encourage Gregg to get chemo. I hate to say this, but I am sure she realizes that if she divorces Gregg, she will have to pay spousal support, but if he dies, she’s free, so if Gregg don’t want chemo, he the one with the cancer in her words.
This makes me sick as Nene had dumped Greg after he exposed her cheating ways (with all things RH). Then she decides to remarry the guy-doubt they made any money. He followed her around from one unsuccessful performance to another.
Nene needs to admit she is basically asexual and has used Greg as a front for years. Sorry but the birch makes me sick.
It needs to be said, Nene has always rubbed me raw, but, her deference to Greg always seemed to redeem her. However, now I am very pissed with her. Yeah! You are so RICH, you are are so sophisticated! Your husband has been given a prognosis which brings pain and loss self, dignity and family… But WHAT ABOUT YOU??? The day she signs a divorce decree, after her televised make up and (WOW) re-marriage to a man she has known she hasn’t been worthy of for years??? Do you Boo!!! (Greg, to quote my favorite movie, RUN, FOREST, RUN!). I can only apologize now, this hits greatly! My family has very bad history, medically and mentally, but my husband has never thought to leave me, as we are best friends. That’s marriage, 30 years and counting. Good luck with that!
Speaking from experience, I could not imagine divorcing my (possibly dying) husband with cancer. I took unemployment and when that ran out lived on practically nothing for almost 2 years. I’m still recovering financially but I wouldn’t do it any differently. He needed me. It was an honor to care for him. Greg needs Nene, he’s scared-you can see it. Surely this isn’t true.
This..”an honor” is everything Nancy.
Yeah. Because you have honor and NeNe does not. She likely pronounces the word with a hard H. But if she gets her “wordsmith” Phaedra back, she can expand her vocabulary. Or maybe not.
With all the traveling Nene is doing, when does she find time to take care of Gregg. I take it she has to travel to whatever gig she can find to maintain that million dollar lifestyle she has created, but what good is that lifestyle if you aren’t home to enjoy it. Always on the road hustling money. She created that monster and now Nene has to live with it. Alway on the road while Cynthia lives within her means and is traveling only to see her man. On the show, Dennis sent Porsha flowers and she called him talking sweet, thankful and sexy. Gregg supposedly sent Nene flowers and she pretended crying then went out with the girls. No phone call to thank Gregg or nothing.
OMG this season is never going to end!!
What happened to Kenya being in the trailer. Didn’t she film for a scene?
She was at one event. She may or may not be on the show.
I was always a ride or die for Nene since season 1 but the way she’s been dealing with Greg’s illness with him and her friends is a real turn off. She’s coming off like an entitled biatch this season.
No ma’am, I’m done with Nene!
I have never seen someone make their significant others cancer battle all about them. She’s going on press tours talking about him like he’s not going through the worst battle in his life possible. I think we have all at one point took care of sick family or friends but have never looked for sympathy about being a damn caregiver. Nene is wrong and God will deal with her.
The picture of Kandi has me cracking up 😂 she’s so damn freaky.
I love Shamari, Tanya and Eva so they can do no wrong in my book. Porsha has really embraced the new additions off camera and I like that.
This season so far has been a waste and I’d swap Nene out for Phaedra immediately.
When is it going to stop? It is like beating dead horse. Arguments, talking over each other and just plain meanness. Hey Andy, please put this disaster to rest. Nene is going to take care of herself. If Greg’s illness stops her from moving on up he is out of there.
Amen! Honestly getting rid of Phaedra was the end in my opinion. And Kenya was good for the show as well. I feel zero connection to anyone left except for Porsha.
Haven’t watched this in years. Read your posts occasionally and this one caught my eye. What’s wrong with Greg that he needs a caregiver? Didn’t NeNe just remarry him?
Looks like Nene is desperately trying to save this season with a pajama partyesque meltdown. Must’ve not worked hence the reason she’s shoving Phaedra down our throats in hopes of stopping a Kenya Moore turn. Yawn.
Juxtapose the Nene scenario with Dorinda, (a quote I will never forget): (sic) Taking care of Richard wasn’t a burden. “IT WAS AN HONOR”.
Nene can only hope to get over her bad self. I know dealing with death, loss, growing old and ugly is yucky- done it several times, am getting OLD as we speak. But as a human with a heart and soul, you have a choice about how you go about the process. I like to still believe there is a special place in hell for people like her, with her attitude. No matter the reason(s) for it.
I’m so sorry for your loss, Marie. I went through that with my Mother and I was so Blessed to have had that time with her. It takes a very strong person to make that journey. It’s not easy.
I’m not watching this season, but really feel for Gregg and NeNe. I hope they get through this.
I hope I don’t get sent to the WLS or offend anyone with this, but I wonder if the streets have ever talked about a Kandi and Shamari rendezvous?
I’ve been a caretaker and I understand her issues. It’s a hard job and a heavy load
I don’t believe Nene would ever leave Gregg, especially not when he’s sick. She said in a previous interview she isn’t good at being a caregiver and doesn’t know how to take care of others. She said “I’m just not good at it.”
Maybe Nene is experiencing guilt about not being able to care for Gregg in the way he deserves. Perhaps this is why she’s lashing out?
In any event, I pray that God heals Gregg to complete health.
Nene is a narcissist monster. She probably already left Greg.
I think part of what is driving Greg‘s depression is the fact that when he goes to his doctor for testing, they tell him each time that his blood test results are worsening and he can’t understand why since he’s got a magic tree that he has pinned all his hopes on. He’s terrified and his fear is keeping him from getting treatment and Nene is not helping him face what he needs to do.For the first time in her life she’s decided to be passive. Make she wonder…
So I was talking to someone on Twitter who said that maybe the Leakes need to file for bankruptcy again. The last time they divorced it was to keep Gregg’s debt out of nene’s income.
So now he has cancer and huge bills. It’s possible she is divorcing him to keep his insane bills from becoming their shared debt.
I am not sure that would work though since it is already Nene’s debt. Or maybe they are delaying chemo until until after the divorce so that will be his debt alone. I don’t think they could file bankruptcy again if they did it the last time…. but maybe a divorce would file again? There has to be some angle here.
These two are scammers and I imagine there is some sort of plan going on.
Or Nene is simply a cunt. I have a feeling it is both things.
I vote both. In Calif., you can file for bankruptcy after 7 years. Unless they changed it again.
I hope Gregg takes her off his life insurance.
Surely they have health insurance. There debts should be manageable. Most insurances pay 80 or 90% in network, and are capped at an out of pocket limit. I remember my bills being in the hundreds of thousands, but the amount I was liable for was much much less and once I reach the out-of-pocket limit for the year everything above that was paid at 100%.
I just think he’s too scared to undergo chemo, even after they told him he still has detectable levels of cancer cells in his tests. His chance of metastasis is sky high.and he’s telling people he’s cancer free. It’s deluded and she needs to encourage him to get treatment. Going gluten free isn’t going to fix this.
“Surely they have health insurance.” Spoken like someone from a blue state.I thought I might not have to rush to move out of Georgia if Stacy Abrams won the governers race. The best health care option for me looks like Uruguay.
I seriously doubt they bought GA health insurance. If they bought any at all Nene would have both through SAG. Nene can”t even pay her taxes as an independent contractor. I doubt she was researching the two lousy choices of Insurance we were offered for 2019 it would have cost me $20K out of pocket to have really shitty interest that almost no one takes. We have counties that had ZERO OPTIONS for insurance. WE also have had many of our rural hospital go out of business. The one I used to got to shutdown a few years ago and is now finally reopening with some new company no one has ever heard of. I hope it is great, but I am not going to try that out for $20K until some other people rate the standard of care. I really am going to have to move out of the ghetto and out of the state to get insurance.
Why do people keep voting against their best interests? I don’t get it. Every other commercial on tv is about some pharmaceutical. They spend billions in advertising yet some 26 year old died because he had to ration his insulin. It’s disgusting.
My insurance was through my employer, not Obamacare. I suppose Nene is considered an independent contractor to Bravo? Still, since she ihas stated “I’m rich, bitch” and gadflies all over the country one would think she could scrape together enough for insurance premiums. Her salary from the housewives alone should allow her to afford healthcare.
I’m not kidding when I say it I don’t think Nene wants Greg to get chemo. I’ll leave it up to others to fathom her motives.
Yes, she is an independent contractor. That is why she owes the IRS so much she has to file and is supposed to file quarterly. Clearly she doesn’t do that. I wouldn’t be surprised if they have no insurance but, she should be able to get decent insurance via SAG. However, Georgia healthcare providers don’t take a lot of the insurance. Especially the super overpriced Obama care crap.
Nene would have to be the dumbest person alive to not have health insurance. What’s $30 or even $40 thousand a year in premiums to millions in hospital bills (which cancer treatment can easily get up to).
I laughed hysterically with all the federal employees threatening to quit over the government shutdown. What?!? Your benefits are worth more than your job!!! They have the best benefits in the country. There is no “out of network.”
I’ve taken many a financial risk but I would never go without health insurance. Get hit by a bus and if you live you’re bankrupt.
#imonlyhereforthepictures #dontwatchthisone #wtfishappeninginthatfirstshot
No thanks
That picture is disgusting…but I don’t expect much from this site. What happened to the positivity we were supposed to get this year…..was that only for people you like? What’s your real issue with Nene?
What picture is disgusting? Nene assaulting the cameraman? How is it not clear that my issue with Nene is that she is such a horrible excuse for a human being she can’t stand by her man when he is clearly scared shitless and going through cancer alone? I’m not surprised, both Nene and Gregg have a long history of being grifters and scammers
This was all over the news here in the ATL when the grifters first came on the show. Here is one example.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2CB5accujkI
People in ATL have never cared for the Nene Leakes scam that she is living now.
But even if she was someone with a pot to piss in and an upstanding member of the community, making your spouse’s CANCER diagnosis all about you and constantly complaining how your husband is such a burden Is despicable.
These are my real issues with Nene.
I get you ride with Nene. I’m sure you were one of the six people that showed up at this Nene meet and greet.
https://tamaratattles.com/2012/03/03/whats-wrong-with-this-picture-nene-fans-in-charlotte-version/
We need to do better with out public school systems in Georgia. It’s not your fault.
Watching how terribly Nene speaks about Greg makes me appreciate my husband of 24 yrs so much more, he was never anything but supportive to me during my cancer journey. Nene, you need to do better. Much better.
Greg can’t cater to her anymore. Thats why she is pissed. Look over the years, he was her manservant.
Exactly. Who is going to walk three paces behind her with his balls in her purse now? And did you notice on the trip to Tokyo where she was so mad at him for not answering he said he was out running all her errands and handling her business while she was gone? She’s awful. I’m sure she was calling to make sure he was getting all her shit done and not to check on him.
Exactly what I was thinking TT. Shame on her. There may be a place in hell waiting just for her.
have lost interest in this show, a lot of vulgarity , yet so many of these women think they are classy because they have some money
I think since Greg’s bout with cancer changed him for the better. He’s in a different place right now. He probably had a revelation with the Lord and just don’t want to be a part of the nonsense that occurs in the lives of his loud mouth wife Nene and her brood. Although I am a fan for the sanctity of marriage I totally understand him wanting his space. Hope they work it out.
