Who is ready for a hoedown? On tonight’s RHOP Recap, that’s going to be the main event. And these hoes are going to try to take each other down. Let’s hope someone takes down Candiace. Krazy Katie is hosting the hoedown! But first, Robyn let’s Gizelle know that penisgate is all her fault. They should have pulled Ashley aside and told her what they heard privately. It was Gizelle who brought it up at the dinner table. She ain’t lyin’.
Candiace and Chris get into a heated discussion when he tries to explain to her that she treats him the same way her mother treats him. Candiace refuses to listen and cuts him off, just like her mother does her. Yet, she is unable to see his point and seems to be referencing and agreement they have not to discuss what a little bitch she is on camera.
Chis follows her all the way out to the car. But she is unable to receive criticism. Chris tries to tell her that he is trying to help her mend her relationship with her mother. Candiace is doing the angry cry. She loses it when he says she did the same thing with Ashley at the dinner party the night before. She needs to get her emotions in check.
Karen got a motorcycle lesson. Why?
Monique and Ashley bond at the baby clothes store. Ashley is upset that Robyn decided to tell her about Michael’s comments right after she was attacked by Candiace.
The News About Michael Darby’s Charges Go Public
The news was all reported horribly wrong. Check out these three posts about what actually happened. Post 1 This was how it was initially reported. Post 2 this is what really happened. Post 3 This was the outcome.
I pulled the photos for this episode twice. I lost the first set somehow. but that set had a photo of Katie shopping with Ashley. Katie Rost looks insane on this episode. And there is apparently a reason for that. So all the lips are flapping about the accusations against Michael.

Candiace goes to visit Monique. Because Candiace sees her like a sister. Watch out, Monique. This is a dysfunctional family. Monique hints to Candiace that she overreacted at her dinner party. Then she tries a more direct approach. She says that Candiace didn’t behave like a grown women. She tells her she had a temper tantrum. Candiace doesn’t appreciate the words of wisdom. Even though Candiace admits she had the same argument with Chris. Candiace tells Monique to just not to talk about her mother.
A Trip To The Funny Farm
Robyn goes to visit Katie. Katie lives in a cute old farmhouse on a beauty farm. I suppose now we could call it a funny farm. It’s adorable! Wow. I just noticed this episode has an extra 15 minutes. We could have done without the first fifteen minutes of this episode.

On the way to the funny farm, Gizelle apologizes to Ashley for bringing up Michael’s situation. But the car ride is still full of awkward silence. When Ashley and Gizelle arrive at the hoedown, everyone seems pissed that Ashley is in a good mood. Robyn sort of apologizes to Ashley privately.Then, Katie gave a bizarre toast and the eating begins!
The Calm Before The Storm
Candiace shocks me my apologizing to the ladies for her behavior at her dinner! But she doesn’t apologize directly to Ashley. So of course Gizelle points that out. Candiace says that is a conversation that needs to happen separately. But she was also told by Gizelle that Ashley never wants to speak to her again. She does tell Ashley she would like to speak with her if she is open to it. Ashley thanks her and for a moment it looks like bygones are bygones.

Ashley tells the ladies that she does want to address the elephant in the room. Unfortunately, she can’t discuss anything at this time. She does want to encourage them to wait for the truth. Then production plays a montage of all the messy things Ashley has done in the past. These women are very supportive. Soon there are fingers pointing in all directions. Everyone is bitching. Katie tries to change the mood.
Gizelle says that Candiace’s comment about Ashley’s husband and Monique’s pregnancy are judgmental. Candiace insists that she is allowed to have an opinion. She says she is done talking to the women because they are all being hypocrites. Candiace cannot listen to anyone’s opinion. Katie gives a toast to “fake bitches and ass-grabbing.”
Tug O War
Then Karen and Ashley get into it because Ashley points out that Karen is two-faced. Karen starts waving her hands in front of Ashley’s face and screaming at her. Ashley tells her to get the fuck away from her. Karen tells Ashley to “have some couth about herself.” Ashley says something about Karen and Ray’s problems with the IRS. Karen start hollering Clankity Clank! and talks about bars of soap. Which makes no sense because clearly Michael would drop the soap on purpose.
Katie is freaking hysterical. She’s just sitting there high as a kite. Then she says in the most deadpanned voice, “It was great having you.”
Karen tries to talk some sense into Candiace, but Karen doesn’t have any sense to spare. So Monique takes over. She once again tells Candiace that she doesn’t hear what the women are trying to say to her. Now, Monique is pissed that Candiace called her a hypocrite. Monique threatens to drag Candiace pregnant and all. Oh how I wish she would.
Tears Of A Clown
But instead, Monique decided to go home. On her way out she apologized for losing her temper. Then she starts to cry over the fact she has been a good friend to Candiace. Then, Candiace literally runs away from her. Karen goes after her and gives her a hug. Candiace is crying.
Did I miss the Tug O War scene?
Highlights of next week’s RHOP Recap include Monique’s sonogram, more fighting between Candiace and her mother, Juan wants to have a baby girl, and more butt squeezing conversations. Wait. Those don’t sound like highlights at all.
I love this show!! Karen Huger is one of my top 5 favorite housewives of any city (not joking). I also like Ashley a lot. It’s wild to see the main pot stirrer of this show get stirred, although I don’t believe the latest “charges” are for real. Katie concerns me.
Agree. She’s the only one I can stomach this season. Monique is cool but it seems that she was looking for a reason to jump ship on Candace….and who can blame her. I did not appreciate they way they all ganged up on Candace. Giselle lives to throw people under the bus.
This has to be one of the best seasons of the show and definitely miles ahead of Atlanta, in regards to storylines and the organic feel of the show and cast.
Katie cracks me up with her wigs and her nonchalant attitude 😂 I just love seeing her not give a fuck.
I agree that this franchise is probably one of the best right now.
Also agree with your opinion of Katie. She seems so much more herself than what she was like in season one.
Um, y’all get that Katie is clinically insane, right? Like for real. As in it’s irresponsible for Bravo to have someone so mentally unstable on the show. You guys get that, RIGHT?
Yeah, the first season she was on I assumed she just drank too much. It’s really obvious now that she might have some “issues.” Unrelated – didn’t she have better hair (wigs) in the first season? I really feel bad for her hair-wise these days.
I think Katie is most definitely eccentric & her off screen dilemmas seem tantamount yet on the show she really adds some spice. I root for her to get back on track in real life & hopefully regain some funds & much needed traction on the show. RHOP is setting itself up to be a jewel in the crown of Bravo. Bravo has been getting steadily worse but RHOP reminds m of the glory days of RHONY, RHONJ & RHOC.
Whew. I’m glad that you included links to your posts from last fall when the drama was unfolding. I needed a refresher!
How is Candiace so clueless to her behavior?
I’m glad you read them. 🙂 I feel like everyone should know what really happened.Michael really doesn’t deserve this. On tonight’s big brother one of the Jackoffs smacked the other on the ass as he walked by. As the police concluded, this is not a police matter.
👏👏👏👏👏
AAAAAAARGH. Candiace and her hypocrisy are at Vicki Gunvulson levels.
Yes. Candiace is insufferable. I hope her histrionics don’t secure her spot on the cast, but they probably do. Ugh. She never listens and her stanky expressions make her difficult to watch. Not a fan.
Ashley is getting her just deserts….. I have zero sympathy for her
Yes!Ashley was my favorite the first season she came on.Then last season when she showed her true colors with Karen I couldn’t stand her.Those women with Ashley leading them took things too far.The whole dressing up in costume and delivering the pizza to the house was ridiculous!If I thought my friend was having financial problems I would never do that.What was the point?To embarrass her on TV?!Ashley is getting it back and I’m glad.
Except that it is really Michael who is suffering the fall out. This is an insulting and stupid story line. After reading the previous recaps (which I had forgotten) I find this so contrived and insulting that amongst all the outrage in the me too# that this BS is being allowed to air. This is basically a false allegation in its severity. Thomas Ravenal is being treated as some charming bad boy for FAR WORST offenses while Michael is being vilified for something that was totally blown up. I am not a fan of his but I can tell you one of my biggest triggers is INJUSTICE. It’s everywhere these days.
I completely agree. Karen is a handful but never goes out of her way to hurt people like they did her. Ashley just wants to be a part of the green eyed mean clique. She wants to team up with the others so they can have her back. Now she’s turning everyone against Candace. Candace has a very low EQ and cannot stand to hear anything about herself…however Monique did not have to go over and confront her like that.
Exactly. Candiace is on the Porsha William’s hooked on phonics worked for me brigade. Or should I say, railroad. She is dumb coarse & so juvenile.
In all the scenes between Gizelle & Karen – the “grand dame’s jealousy is hard to ignore. “Mrs. Black Bill Gates” is jealous of Gizelle’s stunning good looks, her youthful energy and easy, outgoing personality. Eat your heart karen.
Bye Gizelle….
Gizelle is a messy bitch who stirred the pot. Ashley got what she deserved. All these bitches need a paycheck and better pay their taxes or they will end up like Atlanta.
She out and out lied about what Karen meant. Karen was defending Ashley…
Ashley spent the entire 3rd season attacking Karen and her lack of ‘openness’ towards the group regarding her husbands financial affairs. Now she wants privacy to deal with the matter because her gross husband is in the firing line? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Nope.
Zero sympathy for the Darby’s and I hope their messy selves are dragged for the rest of the season. Payback is a bitch 💋
Agreed!
I agree!!
I completely agree. Ashley is disgusting.
*UPDATE* Katie Rost read Ashley to filth on her most recent Instagram post and I live!!
Thanks heading over there now. No one flings manure like Miss Katie R !
The timing of the butt grabbing charges makes sense now! Production is messy. The camera man made the charges RIGHT AFTER the dinner party (last week’s episode).
Candiace is entirely too immature to be on this show. She is completely lacking in emotional intelligence. God bless Chris, let’s see how long he sticks around to deal with his teenaged acting wife. Ashley, Ashley I almost feel bad for her. But this is karma. She has literally come after all of the ladies, maybe with exception of Katie because she was only full time one season. Overall I’ve always been a fan of the show. I like them much better than RHOA.
I agree with your comment that Candiace is too immature to be on the show. Please Bravo get her off! I like Chris but don’t think this marriage will work out long at all. Gizelle is my favorite on this show, she’s beautiful, and so are her daughters. Great recaps TT.
All cast: “Candiace you are out of control, you pulled out a knife at dinner and you wanted to beat up a pregnant woman:
Candiace: “hold on whileI stamp my feet and fold tissues into little squares so I can dab at the inner corners of my eyes and not ruin my lashes. “
It was a butter knife…lol….also Monique had no business confronting her. Candice cannot handle her emotions…but has a point…whey the hell are they ganging up on her about the shit they all do.
HAHAHHAHAAH Ingrid, that was really good. Especially your description of the tissues Candiace folds!!!
Candace has made this season fun to watch. She brought the drama and crazy. I think she has some issues and needs help but am glad someone is setting Ashley straight. Thank you candace!!
I love Karen she is so funny. Giselle is my girl I love her, she is so messy. Robin is Potomac’s Cynthia and Monique is so pretty and dresses great.
I am finally loving this show!!
Katie was funny and had great one liners. Vortex, Vortex. LOL
I love Katie! She is the most real bitch there! And that is with all her crazy!
Katie is my favorite too ! Does not give two f s about anyone or anything.
I am amazed at Candiace. She says in her one-on-one that Chris is her sounding board–he checks her using common sense. But in the scene at the restaurant and in the street thereafter, she shuts down and shuts down HIS common-sense-telling of her behavior. He’s a good dude. She should be so thankful to have him in her life.
I’m glad that Robyn brought Gizelle to the light. I mean, sheesh, she couldn’t SEE (or remember?) that she initiated the whole, “let’s gab about Michael’s behavior”, at the end of the heated back and forth betwixt Ashley and Candiace.
I’m glad that production showed the past moments of Ashley’s shady behavior towards the ladies in the times of their storms/going through on the show.
Monique is adorable and her family is adorable.
Karen is Karen and I’m glad she shut down Ashley (tit-for-tat style) via the “bar of soap” comment.
Katie is so Katie. I hope we get to see more of her and experience more of her eclectic-ness? I don’t know the right word, but she is giving good energy and sometimes the looks on her face in response to the other ladies’ bickering is lol-worthy.
Candiace is so immature for this ensemble cast. Geez! She need to be placed at the children table to eat her dinner. Her tantrums are giving me a headache. I am hoping she will at the least mature about 7 years in mentality and behavior, before the finale. Grow up to behave like an 18 years old young adult versus like an adolescent child.
Love this franchise and tge this cast! Thanks for recapping TT!
Katie was EVERYTHING, lol. Loved her toast and yes, VORTEX! Snort!
Great recap.
Candiace needs to fix her life…and her edges!
If I remember correctly, she and her sister have an online weave business.
