Well, y’all we made to the finale (or not, there is actually one more episode!) of RHOA! In last week’s recap I told y’all about Nene Leakes and her awful videos about her wondering if Gregg Leakes got cancer as karma for him cheating on her. I’m not even sure Gregg Leakes did cheat on Nene. Well, today some of the big sites have picked up the story and there is all sorts of public outcry for this to be Nene’s last season. I expect that at the very least she will be demoted for attacking the cameraman. We shall see. I haven’t pestered my sources about it too much yet.
Nene Leakes
Nene has headed over to Marlo Hamptons’ house leaving her sick husband at home. She calls Gregg who tells her not to be gone too long because she needs him. Marlo is having Nene and Tanya Sam over to serve some tea.
First of all, just a few observations from watching this clip earlier while pulling photos. Nene is trying so hard to be an actress here. You know Marlo Hampton called Nene Leakes as soon as she got the tea on Eva Marcille. And she is over acting this like crazy. The other thing I noticed is that Tanya Sam was smiling in all the screen shots I took of this conversation. No other reaction, just smiling like she is happy to have some dirt on her friend, Eva. I am starting to wonder if we have all been duped by Tanya Sam. She was also in on this scene.
Marlo Hamptons drops the tea that one of Eva’s bridesmaids called her to make all sorts of nasty allegations about Eva Marcille. She says Eva doesn’t live in the house she has been filming in and her real house is a “raggedy little house across the street from the golf course.” Nene‘s dramatic falling out when the bridesmaid says that Eva’s car was repossessed it ridiculous. Does she think we forgot that ultimate read that Claudia Jordan laid on her after her car was repossessed? Girl, come on now!
Porsha Williams
Porsha and Dennis plan their gender reveal. Dennis thinks it is a boy. Boy was he wrong. They also talk about their prenup. Both of them are on board with the need for a prenup. They disagree about where to live. Dennis wants to be downtown and Porsha wants to stay in her house in Duluth. Porsha makes a lot of good points. Dennis’ big thing is the traffic commuting to Atlanta. It is awful.
Eva Marcille
Eva has jut returned from her honeymoon in Greece. She meets with Kandi to talk about all the things she found out that went down before and during her wedding . Apparently, one of her bridesmaids choked out the wedding planner. I mean, that happens to everyone, right? We are then treated to some unseen footage of Seannita, one of Eva’s bridesmaids (oddly Eva says bridemaids like Nene) who seems really ratchet. I already don’t believe a word out of this one’s mouth. Apparently, Seannita was like a sister to Eva before the wedding. She turned out to be one of those bridesmaid.
Next, Eva tells Kandi that she and Michael have to move out of their house and into another rental because they want to buy a house that needs some renovations. Kandi seems to find that suspect, but I don’t. I feel like Kandi is already down with the script too. But that is all in a talking head. Eva is moving in two days.Eva talk about her first baby daddy stalking her and how it is time to renew the restraining order. This is no joke, the guy is mentally ill.
Gregg Leakes
Nene sits Gregg Leakes down to be a bitch to him on camera. Gregg says that he is scared and experiences all sorts of emotions he didn’t know he had. Nene Leakes says that he isn’t able to do the things he used to do for her and it’s just a lot on her. Gregg says he didn’t ask to get cancer and it is pretty severe. Nene asks him if he really understands what she goes through. Gregg says he can only understand what she shares with him.
I am not even going to waste my time recapping all the poor pitiful me shit from Nene Leakes. Gregg’s comments are so kind to Nene. Gregg talks about his decision to go forward with the chemotherapy.
Kandi Burruss Hosts A Party at OLG
Kandi and Todd told Mama Joyce and Riley that they are moving along with the surrogacy plans to have twin girls. They are also moving along with the expansion of OLG restaurants so we get to have the finale final event at the newest restaurant location.
Tanya Sam pulls Eva Marcille to the side to talk to her about Marlo Hampton’s little “tea party.” Eva knows right away that it is Seannita. Apparently, Seannita has been badmouthing her all over town. Sometimes friends just don’t handle the success of their friends very well and that seems to be what Seannita’s problem is.
Nene Leakes has the last call time for the scene. When she comes in Eva gives her big old housewives greeting and asks for someone to pass her purse to her. Then she tells the producers she is leaving. She’s done. She’s calling Mike and going home. She leaves and only production chases after her. One of the producers tells her that he is so sorry.
How Did We No Know Tanya Sam Was So Messy?
Tanya Sam doesn’t appear to be done being messy yet. She sat down at the table and tells everyone Eva Marcille left. Nene is furious that Tanya told Eva about what Marlo said. Where the hell is Marlo anyway? It’s dark outside, shouldn’t all of her tricks be asleep by now? Clearly, Nene was expecting to have her big scene with Eva. It looks like Tanya just scooped that scene right up.
It appears that Marlo actually had the last call time. Marlo is an even worse actress than Nene. These people don’t even try to make this seem like a natural conversation. Cynthia Bailey is also in on the mix. She told Tanya Sam that she should tell Eva what she knows. I agree. Nene acts like she is Eva’s BFF and she don’t know that girl! Eva did most of her filming with Tanya.
After Nene goes outside to talk to Eva, Marlo starts running her nasty mouth again announcing at the table that “in LA, Eva is a full-blown lesbian.” WTF does that even mean? She has a baby daddy on the west coast you dumb bitch! Eva Marcille had well-publicized relationships with Missy Elliot and Queen Latifah. Everyone knows this? Also, Queen Latifah messes with all the bi-curious girls and they always run straight back to their male exes with a quickness. Marlo seems to think this is some big news and she tried to bring it up in Tokyo.
Nene Leakes Is Not Your Friend, Eva Marcille!
Nene Leakes gets Eva to agree to come back and talk to her. Eva says only for a couple minutes and no cameras and no mike. Nene wears her microphone anyway without telling her. What a bitch. Mike shows up and he is also being taped without his knowledge. Unfortunately, there is nothing either of them can do because they signed their life away in their contract/appearance release. Mike is talking about their security concerns regarding Eva’s clinically insane sperm donor.
Nene Leakes is such a snake. She was so gleeful hearing all the tea and now she is acting innocent as hell. Mike and Nene both tell Eva to go back in and clear things up otherwise the gossip is going to be taken as truth. Marlo Hampton is a straight up piece of trash and so is Nene Leakes. I don’t know why Kandi is just sitting there like she believes all of this nonsense either.
Next Week:
ARGH! I thought this was the finale, but there is one more episode. I totally forgot that Cynthia Bailey hosted the finale party this season and it was the shower for Porsha Williams that Kenya Moore came to. That sets Nene off on everyone!
Kandi, Porsha, Eva, Tanya and Shamari are my top picks for season 12.
This episode started off good and ended so damn juvenile. I’m so tired of Marlo and Nene that it’s not even funny. We can get Lisa Rina, Kyle Richards and Denise Richards on Beverly Hills but can’t get any A-List wealthy, feisty women on Atlanta. I wonder why?
Tanya did nothing wrong and apologized for no damn reason, Nene is a hater and will die one. Eva owed Marlo no damn explanation or any of the women for that matter. Marlo is miserable and so is Nene so it’s no getting through anything to either one of them.
Greg you are in my prayers and I pray that you you find peace and great health.
Tonight’s episode was just terrible, tacky and messy. And then on the finale Kenya makes one appearance and Nene gets all in her feelings and plays the caretaker, support me victim again. Girl Bye✌🏻
I’m SO ready for Nene to go. BYE WIG!!!
I must have Marlo’s blonde side part wig! That is exactly what I want but have no idea where to begin a white girl wig journey.
Now Marlo’s nastiness I can do without. Throwing shade is one thing but where is the line? If someone was discussing my finances I’d be pissed, beyond pissed. Even if they were saying I had more money than god and a perfect credit score. No finance talk. Period.
I have a friend (lately she has been a frenemy) who every time I go on vacations questions how I can afford to travel. The last time she did it in front of our group and I had to put her on blast. I had to tell her that I do not question her finances and that she needs to mind own damn business. One of my friends chimed in and defended me by saying she doesn’t have kids that’s how she can afford to go. But still, I don’t ask people about their coins and I don’t expect me to ask me about mine. It’s rude and tacky.
Ohhhh do I hear you Prycer! I don’t have kids either and I can’t tell you how many times that has been used against me. I can afford to go where I go because I can. How that comes together in my financials is not anyone’s business.
@ BeetsWhy It’s such a hater and bitter move when people do that. She’s miserable cause someone told her she should have a baby at 40. She didn’t think long term and just did it. Now all she does is complain. I love to travel so I chose not to have children.
My husband was diagnosed with cancer in May and died in October and this woman he’d known for three years took the opportunity to trash me from one end of the state to the other. I’d never met her until after he was diagnosed. We had been together 25 years and got married a week after the diagnosis and she was telling people not to come to our wedding. I found out what she was saying after he died and I texted her. She responded “is any of that true?” And the thing is she’s all over social media promoting a new flag for our miserable state (and it needs one) but she’s a straight-up sociopath.
I think a question like that is more about them and not about you.
Kim is on WWHL with a brown wig and it is awful.
Did it compliment her lovely lips and darling nose? See, TT, I am being a kind person 🙄
Marlo needs to STFU. Like she can talk about anyone with her criminal “records” and scamming old men. The only one who can talk is Kandi but they have ALL had financial issues and everyone needs to mind their own business. I hate people who are up in everyone else business regarding finances. If you aren’t paying my bills you need to STHU!
My heart breaks for Gregg. I feel bad regarding his illness and what he is going through with his non empathetic wife.
For episodes, Nene has been on my shit list – via personal experience – when one family member
has cancer – the whole family has cancer. I have never been near anyonte with nene’s outlook.
It feels awkward/disrespectful and abusive to watch her pound on Gregg. Cancer has a way of changing
it’s mind – so i am real glad Gregg changed his mind to take care of himself.
Why are Nene and Marlo trying to run RHOA? Tanya was being a friend , by telling Eva about the
gossip that Marlo couldn’t wait to blab about.
Listen at this point we need the new peaches to shine,kandi is an OG now in our eyes, Porsha took the show, Tanya is the underdog we all root for! I’m here for all this now Bring back Kenya n let’s make this work… ATL IS THE STANDARD!
Yes, please bring back Kenya!
I like Eva. So what if she needs RH because she’s broke. The scene at Marlo’s really spotlighted how nasty she is. Seeing her take glee at Eva’s expense crossed the line for me. I’m done with her.
Seeing Gregg’s health decline so drastically is heartbreaking. Having watched a loved one fight for their life, I wanted to shout at the tv that it’s not about you Nene!!
Blah. I am bored with RHOA. Nene is boring. Marlo sucks. I am not really into Tanya or Shamari. The best thing about this episode was the honeymoon to Greece. So beautiful.
I am reminded how much I LOVED Claudia Jordan after clicked on the link in your post. She was the best and I loved that she spoke up to Nene. She was the shining light of that season. Bring her back!
Please bring Claudia and Kenya back. Like today. NeNe is sickening how she’s treating Gregg. It’s all about her. It was all about her at Eva’s wedding. It’s all about her during the discussion with her husband. Honey, the nice NeNe has flown the coop. Bih needs to go.
i cannot believe there are actually people out there who think eva’s making the stuff with her ex up. people truly suck.
I can’t stand Marlo ugh she’s just so irritating. Nene is like a sociopath something is wrong with her. Shamari is odd , I like Eva. And I did not know she messed with missy and queen latifah at all that’s interesting. I like Kenya bring her back. I still don’t care for porsha. They should do a complete overhaul.
Will this show ever end? Seems about 5 episodes too long this year. Poor Greg. Classic narcissist move is to create a lie to blame the true victim so the narcissist won’t look badly. I bet Greg didn’t cheat.
So nasty. So unnecessary. Linnethia needs to be paying more attention to her husband rather than sticking her plastic nose into Eva’s finances. I can’t believe she continues to make everything about her. Poor Greg having an emotional leech of a wife like her.
Eva might be broke by Ms “show me your Expedian report” Hampton’s standards, but I’d take her life over those two hags any day. She has a loving and supportive family, doesn’t have to suck some geriatric dick to buy the latest orthopaedic looking shoes from Balenciaga and doesn’t have to brush her hair all the way forward from the back (a la Donald Trump) to have some semblence of a hairline. She’s doing just fine ✌🏻😂
Exactly, the rumors that Michael is “poor” are ridiculous. Michael is a Morehouse graduate and attorney. At the age of 27 he was appointed as a federal prosecutor. He is now 35 and is a defense attorney for a well-respected Atlanta firm. He makes a nice six figure income and has handled several major cases in Illinois and Texas before relocating to Georgia.
Eva is 34 and has been making money since ANTM both in modeling and reality TV. She is making a very high six figure income on RHOA.
This conversation about their financial issues is over blown. Now Eva did have a period of time out in California after ANTM and before RHOA where things got a little thin. But she is miles above Nene Leakes and Sheree Whitfield in the financial department.
TT, do you think that they are recycling this story like they did to Kim Fields? It feels so suspect that they are doing this to the newbie. Either way Marlo needs to STHU with her (NON) upstanding self. She will never get that peach with her stank attitude.
Marlo will never get a peach. But she makes way more than the new girls. She has peach money starting with this season. She can thank Kandi for that.
Nice of you to recognize to recognize the far and few between professionals of the cast. Eva did well by marrying a non-Phaedra attorney. I only hope she and her attorney husband return next season.
First, I want to discuss Nene and Greg conversation. I found it a bit bizarre that Greg reminded Nene he could not have ice in his drink, because of his sensitivity. 🤔 Mumph? That was odd and strange. I thought Greg decided to go the natural medicine route? In fact, a snippet of their conversation was about revisiting taking chemotherapy and radiation.
Well, I am not accusing them of playing the sympathy card on viewers to have a relevant story line, but I must point out expert information here. I was diagnosed with stage 3 colon cancer 14 years ago. Peripheral neuropathy to cold and hot foods is not a side effect to colon cancer. It is the side of effect of chemotherapy that last approximately two weeks after each round. Everything you eat and drink must be at room temperature. So, he must have been taking chemotherapy treatments at the time they were filming? It is wrong to dupe the people for a story line pertaining to a disease that have taken lives. Bravo and the Leakes should be ashamed of themselves.
Well, well, well. Now we all know why Nene is spazing out of control with everyone, except Marlo. Kenya make an appearance at Cynthia’s party. She accuses Kenya of being a monster towards her in the media, when in fact Nene was going after Kenya and Brooklyn like a rabid dog on death row. Something tells me her plot to get Phaedra back on was because she knows there is a possibility that Kenya is back for next season
Seriously? Gregg said when talking to Nene that he was reconsidering chemotherapy. You’r mad because you think he started it without telling you first? THIS IS THE BIG THING you feel duped about? Nene and Gregg are both scammers. I don’t see why anyone would care if the timeline on the show is manipulated. You do realize THE TIME LINE ON A TON OF THINGS on these shows is highly manipulated.
What’s next, you are going to find out that the talking head interviews happen much later in the show when they have much different opinions about what happened?
There are so many things to hate on Nene and Gregg for. How they handle Gregg’s illness on the show is their business.
In this instance the harm comes from secretly hiding the fact that you’re taking chemo and then if you achieve remission claiming that it’s because of your magic bean diet. If people believe that, it might prompt them to also avoid chemo.Sort of like Brooks planned to claim from his alternative “cure”. The difference is Greg is really ill and doesn’t appear to be attempting to profit from his avoidance of chemo. But the result could be the same. Avoidance of chemo in favor of “what worked for Gregg”
I was stating a fact as I know it. And, you are correct. How they handle Greg’s illness is up to them. So, not sure why the shooting darts? Nothing in my post was stemmed from hatred. Not a super fan. Just commenting like everyone else watching the show. I am not one, who select a “team”. to day is still a good day.
Neuropathy caused by chemotherapy can last from 18 months to five years or longer.
it lasted 3 years for me.
In the beginning updates we have Kandi asking Cynthia, again, how wet is she? and acting like she’s going down on her, which is actually an infomercial for Kandi’s sex show. Every scene with Kandi was an informercial for the opening of her 2nd OLG restaurant. Please!
I wanted to reach into the screen and slap Nene when she talked about how hard it was on HER, because her hubby has cancer. EFF-ing Hell!
I kept saying, “shut up, Marlo” whenever she opened her mouth about Eva. It was dirty mud slinging.
Curious to see what happens next week with Kenya attending Porscha’s baby gender thingie.
I’m glad she had a girl. Congrats, Porsha!
i was thinking the same thing. Kandi is the only one ever, since RHOA been on air, has yet to have financial problems. And, maybe Phaedra, if you count the money from Apollo’s criminal activities.
Why was Michael running for Mayor and why is Eva on RHOA if security and privacy is a concern? Those are two very public things.
Because they are allowed to live their lives. And have taken steps to retrain the fool.
I take Tanya smiling as a nervous smile. Like I don’t wanna be here but I’m new to this so I’ll just smile my way through. She doing what mama taught us “if you don’t have anything nice to say don’t say nothing.”
Tanya is my fave this season. Really hope she gets that peach next time around.
Am I the only one that thinks it is no big deal even if all the Eva stuff was true?
Who she slept with before she got married is no one’s business, nor are her finances, unless she is personally ripping you off.
The was everyone was acting so gleeful about all the gossip was only making them look bad and made me like Eva more, as I was kinda neither here nor there previously.
Tamara supposedly Posha had her baby is that true? I haven’t seen you address the news on the site.
