We begin this Southern Charm NOLA Recap with Reagan and Reece shopping for a wedding cake that is also a gender reveal cake. As one does.
Meanwhile, Tamica is throwing herself a surprise birthday party disguised as a party for Sonny. As one does. The females on this show are just awful.
Justin has to go in for neck surgery. He;s nervous and so is Kelsey. The best thing about this show may be their big ole shaggy dog. My dog and I are having a fight at the moment. Don’t ask. Anyway, Kelsey is pissed that Justin didn’t tell her about his surgery until the day it was scheduled. But he’s so nervous she’s going to have to just get over it until later.
Shotgun Wedding
Next, we go to the venue for Reagan’s wedding gender reveal party. Production makes sure to let us know she is not getting married in the French Quarter, she’s getting married in French Quarter Adjacent, which is the West Palm Beach to the French Quarter’s Palm Beach. You can read my exclusive report on her wedding here. She got married at the Board Of Trade which is a popular wedding venue in New Orleans. Reece’s mom is obnoxious. Because, apple, tree.

Jeff goes to see his therapist about his anger issues and his poor coping mechanisms, like alcohol. Jeff cries when he thinks his friends may abandon him because of his drinking. His therapist says that losing his wife so soon after losing his family is a lot to deal with. He suggests he take a break from seeing Reagan. I think that is sound advice for Jeff, and citizens of the world in general.
Reagan goes to try on wedding gowns. Tamica doesn’t show up. Nor does anyone else. It’s a work day and they had no notice.
The Talk
Tamica wants Barry to have the talk with their 17 year old son. It’s about four or five years too late for that.
Tamica goes to pick up her brother for his surprise party. On the way there, Tamica brings up how they used to have joint birthday parties when they were kids. He points out the birthdays were always about Tamica and never about him. Prepare yourself Sonny, nothing has changed.

Tamica can’t stand that Reagan and Reece are always talking about their wedding. Of course they are! They are about to get married. Those two have plenty of issues you can throw in their face, but talking about their wedding planning isn’t one of them.
Meanwhile, Jeff is not drinking at the party. Rachel says she will stay sober as well in solidarity. She’s very concerned about Jeff.
Girls Girl?
Tamica thinks she is a girls girl. I’m not sure she knows what that means. Kelsey seems as confused as I am.

Rachel, who is a girls girl talks to Reagan. Reagan says that Jeff is drinking so much because she is not there to reign him in anymore. Jeff apologizes to Barry for his out of control behavior. Reagan trashes Jeff to Rachel.
Back at HER house, Kelsey plays with the dog on the bed. Justin comes home and they are all lovey dovey until Justin tells her that his doctor recommended surgery on his spine. So he went to get a second opinion. He hasn’t told her anything. Kelsey doesn’t feel included in his life. She wants to be engaged. He is just not ready. She’son the verge of giving him an ultimatum.
Next Week’s RHOP Recap highlights include Tamica’s son getting a speeding ticket and how Barry had not given him the talk to know what to do in that situation, Reagan realizes that Tamica has been ignoring her, Jeff hosts Friendsgiving, where some fool decides to tell Jeff Reagan is pregnant. Jeff loses it.
And what are you and your dog arguing about?
LOL. We made up. I once was on a roadtrip on the I-10 fro LA to Savannah. We got to Texas and it was a Ciclad ? spelling ? year and we had to walk across a million bugs to get to the restaurant. Something similar is happening in the ATL with weird roaches. So after dark the roaches or whatever are all over the yard. And all over the back stoop. So he needs to COME IN when I call him and tonight he wanted play stupid.
But we made up.
That’s horrifying and hilarious all at the same time. I can see both sides of the argument. Glad to hear you both made up-ha!
Where was the apology in that rambling speech Tamica was giving ( lying) about herself to Kesley? I wouldn’t have hugged her, I would have asked her WTH are you saying?
Not a Reagan fan, but why does everyone keep going to her about Jeff? They are divorced partially because of Jeff’s behavior & drinking. If Reagan could / would have been able to help Jeff I think she would have before she left. She is pregnant & about to marry another man.
Justin needs to quit stringing Kesley along. I didn’t know she moved to New Orleans for him until tonight. 3 years & she lived with your Mama for a over a 1/3 of that time. You don’t let her know how serious your medical issues are, you just spring them on her, and you expect her to be your private RN, without any real skin in the game. That’s dirty!!
Kelsey needs to dump Justin, Tamica needs to realize it is actually the sun that is the center of the universe. I love Jeff. I hope when he is ready, he finds good woman who loves him for him. Reagan needs to realize it takes two to tango and Jeff was not the only one who made mistakes, like marrying a bitch who considered him her safety school, for instance. Gee, cute that Tamica’s son and husband both have the sense to know the long over due “talk” is private.
Kelsey thinks Justin is the one. That if she does this or that she’ll get him to put a ring on it. She isn’t going to move on until he says its over.
Tamica inserting herself time and time again about someone else’s relationship is tiresome. My eldest is 18 and the “talk” was given by both me and my husband when he was 12. I am sure by now the kid could probably tell them some things.
Jeff has issues and I suspect a temper. Reagan, “used” him IMO in hopes that if they got engaged, Reese would come running, but he didn’t so the marriage went. Now, what six years later, the guy has grown up and they are living their happily ever after. For now that is.
Did anyone notice that Reagan said she was the first girl to meet Reece’s mother and she meet her “a year ago”. Hmmmm wasn’t she still married to Jeff? Slowly the truth comes out.
I feel bad for Jeff. Reagan continues to compare the wedding she is planning with Reece to the wedding she had with Jeff. She is dismissive towards everything she had with Jeff. That will hurt him when he watches the shows. I believe she married Jeff because he was a professional football player, not because she loved him.
I loved the conversation between Barry and Jeff. Jeff needs to know someone is in his corner, and that is all the men in this show. I like Rachel a lot. She is a true friend, maybe Tamika can learn from Rachel.
I think Reagan married Jeff as a back up plan. She couldn’t get Reese to commit so she said yes to Jeff. A professional football player with money. But, then his Mother mishandled funds, his temper would flare, he would do a runner, and Reagan started reaching out to the person she really loved. Not that she hadn’t while she was dating Jeff. I do think it has to be hard for Jeff to be in the thick of the show while his ex is flaunting her man, a ring, and a baby bump.
I totally agree with you, I think Jeff was plan B. I feel for Jeff and I hope that he finds his true love.
My thoughts exactly
Jeff said in a recent interview that he does not believe she cheated at all. He said she is a horrible liar. He said she picked up with Reese farily quickly after seperating so yes they were legally still married . He explained it as she just cant be alone.
Jeff needs help and R will too after she is tired of mothering Reese 24/7.
This show has replaced southern charm for me.I look forward to seeing it every week. I feel for Jeff since he is on a show, while realizing his wife was cheating on him and is pregnant. Between Reagan and Tamika, I don’t know who is more narcissistic. Oh Kelsey, you don’t move in without a ring. Although Tamika’s delivery was terrible, I agree with what she was saying.
Can someone please help me with this question. Did Kelsey help pay for renovations on the house or did she just give input on design? I pray she didn’t without being married.
Tamica always on her high horse. I don’t see Justin putting a ring on it. While Kelsey did help remodel the home, it was Justin’s Mother’s home, and I doubt she is on the title or mortgage. Tamica may very well be correct, but, she isn’t looking out for Kelsey. She’s enjoying saying, hey he’s never going to marry you, this isn’t your house. Truce my arse.
Jeff has issues. His Mother mishandled his money. I doubt all of his issues involve his divorce from Reagan. He’s done the runner before, drank too much, and shown his temper. Not that I care for Reagan. Jeff may say his ex wife didn’t cheat on him but I beg to differ. I think that apartment, space to prepare for the bar, was a ruse, a disguise, when it was a separation, and her way of getting back with her one love. Not that I think Reese is a catch. I do think quite unfair that Jeff has to fully submerged in Reagan’s life. But, everyone else knows she is pregnant and Jeff doesn’t?
Kelsey screwed up, Justin has the upper hand on the relationship. “She” moved to New Orleans to be with him and she moved into “his” house. Unfortunately I don’t see him marrying her if he does I see him not respecting his vows.
I agree with both of you 100%
Kesley has a very tiny window to grow a pair or she’ll waste another 3 or more years with Justin.
I believe Jeff had his issues prior to divorce but when there’s no real love, there’s no patience and Jeff was never Reagan’s love so she never had patience for his issues. I felt bad for Jeff in the Halloween episode when he noticed that Reagan laughed when Reese was a jerk to the medium but Reagan would’ve yelled at Jeff. That’s because Reagan is in love with Reese and she never was with Jeff and sadly for Jeff he’s processing all of this in front of cameras.
Remeber in the cake bakery when Reese stuffed the cake in her mouth and Regan said she would have been upset if Jeff did it but it was cute when her her Prince Charming, Reese did it? I would have been upset with anybody shoving cake in my mouth. Cake should be savored and enjoyed slowly like a croissant.
She didn’t run tell Jeff that she’s pregnant like she rubbed everything else in his face.
It is painful to watch Jeff this season. He’s certainly no angel, but I believe he really trusts the Regan wouldn’t cheat on him and it seems so painfully obvious to outsiders looking in. Realistically, few men reunite with a woman and immediately take a girl home to meet their mother. There’s been so many little comments made…like at Regan’s store opening, Tamica asked Reece about difficulty dating Regan and at some point, Reece says how hard it was to date someone who was married…my guess is the entire cast knows it, but no one is ready to completely call her on it.
Regan is going to get her Karma. Reese is not in love with her. He probably was rejected by the woman who was the love of his life and got with Regan as a rebound. He’s doing to her what she did to Jeff. He didn’t want to marry her then and it obvious he doesn’t want to marry her know. He’s just going thru the motions. He looks exasperated around her and I see why because his mom acts just like Regan and he said that.
Rachel is as real as it gets. Hope she becomes a full time cast member.
Reagan is sickening- flaunting her creepy new husband and dumb second marriage with eight bridesmaids- what is she, sixteen? Ugh.
Her marriage is doomed- she wants to call the shots like she did with Jeff but this new dude isn’t that into her it’s so obvious- he’s half bored already in virtually every scene.
I love Jeff and wish him a speedy recovery from all that he has endured over the past several years- especially in his idiotic marriage to the shady Reagan.
Reagan is delusional. If she thinks she “deserves” happiness, then she sure as hell should not marry momma’s boy Reece… He’s such an asshole!
Also, is it only me or has anyone else noticed what a LUSH Reece is? He’s always walking around with a drink, or talking about getting a drink, even DRINKING WHILE AT “WORK”.
if Reagan thought she had to control Jeff’s drinking, then I hope she is prepared to do the same with Reece, because she went from a binge drinker to a full blown ALCOHOLIC!
And he has a gambling problem
I like how Jeff has a drinking problem but Reece doesn’t. She does not realize that she jumped out of the frying pan and into the fire.She now has a real “winner” there.
Justin did not have surgery. They made it seem so dramatic but I had the exact same procedure on my neck with local anesthetic. I drove myself to work after and worked 7 hours.
Then you didn’t have the same surgery. He had general anesthesia. Do you think they paid doctors to lie about the anesthesia? Have a seat.
He said the name of the procedure and that is the procedure I had. I believe they put him under. I wasn’t put under.
The procedure is non invasive:
“Radiofrequency ablation, also called rhizotomy, is a nonsurgical, minimally invasive procedure that uses heat to reduce or stop the transmission of pain. Radiofrequency waves ablate, or “burn,” the nerve that is causing the pain, essentially eliminating the transmission of pain signals to the brain.”
I have had actual surgery on my cervical spine and trust me, this procedure is not surgery.
My point was that they really made it seem dramatic for the purposes of the show. That’s all. I have gone through it myself so I do know what I’m talking about.
Did it help you?
Thanks for the info.
It’s a temporary solution. The nerves eventually grow back together and for me, that followed with the pain coming back too. But I’d still do it again, if only for the relief of the pain, no matter how long it last, (which was maybe 6-10 months..) That’s why I’ve had it done several times.
Thank you!!
@ -ZZZ- I had my R.A. after my cervical spine fusion. I had ongoing pain from arthritis. I had awesome results… reduced my pain quite a bit and still working after 2 years.
Please read the commenting rules. Comments should be about the show and not your medical conditions.
Thank you T.!
You’re 100% correct. I’ve had R.A. done several times because of a failed back surgery, and it’s a small out patient procedure. You don’t even necessarily have to be put under for the surgery, it’s your option. Of course I always opt for being knocked out because I don’t need to know what’s going on back there and would like to be kept oblivious to it, thank you!
Tamara, I thought your recap was hilarious and I found myself giggling constantly while reading it. As one does.
Also, Kelsey should go back to straightening her hair. She looked far more attractive to me in the flashback than she does now with that Medusa-like nest of stringy ass curls.
Completely agree about Kelsey’s hair.
I find Justin pretty dorky and not that great looking…Move on Kelsey.
Justin’s hands are massive. He has the hands of a giant.
While I have no issue with Kelsey’s natural hair, I liked her with the straight hair better. It was more becoming. However she wears it, Justin is not marrying her.
Regan expecting people to take off of work for her dress fitting was absurd. You notice she valid reasons for everyone except Tamica as if she’s not a wife, mother and works. Her reason for Rachel was because she’s a mother.
Poor sweet, naive Jeff. She was most definitely cheating. I think he wants to be better and move on but at every event she gives him another punch in the gut. She’s trash and the way she is trying to make Jeff the bad guy is sickening
Her curls make her features look harder. I do believe if she did a blow out that it would soften her features. I wear my hair both ways and I do notice a difference with my appearance.
I’d like more Rachel and less of Reagan and Tamica please
Indeed! She has actual common sense. I like her a lot.
I am worried about Jeff. I think the combination of his family fleecing him & the divorce from the gold digger really hurt his sense of self worth. Sweet man , rooting for him.
INDEED! She has actual common sense!
Sorry about that!
I agree about Jeff. Sure hope something really good happens to him.
I think Karma for Reagan is her new Mother-In-Law and I cannot WAIT to see this woman get into with Reagan….hahahahahaha!
-Tamica is an awful woman.
-I cannot stand Regan and her entitlement, and I think Jeff is a good person, but we didn’t see everything between them in their marriage and I am betting there were real issues there. I think Jeff will be better off without her in the long run.
-Reece is is a creeper and his mother acted like a hillbilly. All the talk about the illegitimate child made me sad.
-Kelsey needs to move on with her life. It is clear Justin is never going to be “ready’ to marry her. You shouldn’t have to force someone to propose to you. This reminds me of Katie and Tom on VPR.
-Rachel is a great addition.
If I knew Reagan, it would be very difficult not to say “I told you so” when this marriage breaks up. All the things she finds cute won’t seem cute once the bloom is off the rose. The drinking, the gambling, the “doing whatever he wants.” She looked the fool in her fur going on about the gender reveal. And dying the CAKE, not the icing. On a chocolate cake. Even a white cake. You want the tacky reveal to be a surprise, so you make the icing between one layer pink or blue and stop short before it peeks out beyond the cake diameter. She and Mommy Dearest will end up killing each other. Or Reece.
YES! this^..hell I would be kicking his ass over that crap he painted on the nursery wall…WTH was that? did I miss something? surely they are (were) planning on re-painting and that is why he did that? I really predict that Reagan and Mommy-in-law dearest will get into it…and ALL my money is on the MIL!!!
