I am hoping that his Southern Charm NOLA Recap is more interesting than the RHOP episode tonight. But there is honestly much more excitement at the ghetto shack tonight than on my TV. I read tonight that Reagan has decided to keep the last name Charleston. Because it is the name of her company and the name on her law degree. I’m not sure why she can’t manage to keep the business name and lose the ex-husband’s name. Or why it matter is her former name is on her law degree. It just seems like another stab at Jeff to me.
We pick back up with Tamica actually making a good point for a change. There is no way that all of NOLA knew that Reagan was pregnant. Oh also today I read Reagan saying that she and Reece were actively trying to get pregnant because they want two or three kids. She wants two. He wants three. So the whole storyline about this being a secret is ridiculous.
Jon Moody says he is over hearing about everything Reagan does. It’s over. Jeff needs to move on. Tamica says Jeff should date a black girl. Jon agree. I just think he should date any girl who will take his focus off of Reagan. Let’s make this happen, Jon Moody. The thought of exploring new feminine worlds has Jeff, and thus the whole table in higher spirits.

Jeff has a pinata on standby for this momentous occasion. It’s filled with cash, condoms, booze and some sort of over the counter male enhancement drug. Friendsgiving ends on a happy note.
Reagan Still Wants To Call The Shots
Reagan calls Jeff a day or two later saying that their mutual friend Doug says something happened at Friendsgiving but he can’t be the one to tell her. Once again. She knows. Your GBF tells you everything. She is actually pissed that they had Friendsgiving without her though. I believe she mentioned that on social media. However, on the last episode she seemed to know that everyone else was filming without her. I love how Jeff informed her that he doesn’t need to run his plans by her. He is living his own life now. Reagan says she feels like Jeff has all the friends and she has none. I mentioned this in my exclusive real time post on all of this nonsense. Jeff did get all the friends in the divorce.
Reagan Is Missing The Big Picture
Reagan tries to reach out to Tamica, finally to acknowledge that she exists. Reagan asks how her Thanksgiving was. Tamica points out it was her birthday and it was great. Clearly, Reagan didn’t bother to reach out for either occasion. Reagan seems pissed about Friendsgiving at “her fucking house.” This is rich since Reagan has not been talking to Tamica for weeks. Now she wonders where all her friends went.

It’s a week before the wedding. These two are barely speaking. So it should be no surprise that Tamica doesn’t want to stand up for Reagan in the wedding. Reagan apologies and wipes away imaginary tears with her Anne Klein doorknocker ring hand and her engagement ring hand. Tamika needs a better bra. Or to fix the straps where her boob land in the same place. Tamica says they will work it out.
Later, Reagan has a similar conversation with Rachel. Rachel says she is willing to give her another chance but the fugazzi behavior has to stop. She invites Reagan on the Destin trip. She doesn’t want her to bring Reece. She agrees.
Never Waste A Woman’t Time
Justin and his mother go out for breakfast. You can tell they are locals because they both order the veggie omelette. I am not an egg person, but even if I was that is not what I would be brunching on in NOLA. All diet plans would be out the window and I would be a pig in trough eating everything I could before I had to leave. Or I might be more like I am in Paris trying the Croque Monsieurs at at every pub in town. In NOLA I would be on a muffaletta tour. And a beignet tour. And an oyster po boy tour. And a gumbo tour. Because, yum.

Justin tells his mother that Kelsey is ready to get married and have kids and he is not there yet. She wisely advises him that Kelsey is not going to let him wasted her time much longer. She says this should be an easy decision for him. She says Kelsey is a lovely young woman and he doesn’t want to let her get away.
Barry Gives His Son The Talk
On RHOBH when the housewives chat with their kids they are usually older than 16. Except for newcomer Denise Richards. It seem a bit weird to me that Barry and Tamica’s son, Hunter who is 16 is having so much of his life exposed. I remember Bella Hadid’s DUI getting discussed on camera. But this feels different for some reason.
Although, we all know the racial profiling discussion has to happen. That’s a good learning tool. I don’t know I just feel a bit bad for Hunter having his speeding issues made so public. Last week, Tamica was trying to imply that Barry needed to be more involved with Hunter. This week, she is pissed because Barry is making the decisions regarding his son.

After the moving Jon Moody pop-up show (see below) Barry has a serious discussion with Hunter. It’s mostly about no knocking anyone up. He is concerned about Hunter succumbing to peer pressure. And avoiding jail before going to college in a year or so
Son Of A Saint
I love Jon Moody and all of his philanthropy. And his art. The Obamas own his art. Lee Daniels owns his art. It’s been on Empire. Jon is getting ready to have another art show that ties in to the struggles in black male youth in NOLA. His paintings go from mid to high five figures or more. His two pieces will also have a video to push the theme home.
Jon’s pop-up art show is at a restaurant called NOSH. Tamica makes fun of Jon’s lime green neoprene turtleneck. I would love to share how awesome John looks but Bravo is very cheap on the previews for this show. The skits by the kids were unsettlingly real. Like it’s hard to see the laptop screen. The point was made.
Positive Moments?
I love how Rachel’s chyron is “Everyone’s Friend.” Then Reagan goes up to Rachel while she is taking to Reece and demands to know if this is a positive moment. Rachel is not amused. And once again, Jon Moody’s amazing pop-up art show becomes all about Reagan. Tamica and everyone else are over Reagan’s “all about me” behavior. Reagan doesn’t get it. Also, how are they going to Destin next week if her wedding is only a week away?
Reagan cries and wants to go home. Reece wants to have more wine. He’s overruled. Reagan goes storming off for the long back across the lake. How will Reece go that long without alcohol?

On next week’s Southern Charm NOLA recap, we all head to Destin. I can’t believe how long it has been since I was there. It is the quickest beach to get to from Atlanta. Though Isle of Palms (Charleston) isn’t much farther. Anyway EVERYONE has those lime green neoprene turtlenecks and wears them for a dance off. The guys go deep sea fishing. This is not nearly as fun as it sounds in real life. Do Not Recommend! Tamika and Barry renew their vows. Does that seem odd to anyone else right before your BFF gets married?
Reagan is the worst… I have never heard of a woman keeping her ex-husband’s last name for some crappy jewelry line that nobody gives a shit about… Just that fact alone proves to me that this woman is completely delusional… Forget having the same name as my new husband and newborn child; my law degree has Charelston on it…
Reagan is incredibly self centered. She will never get back together with Jeff, her reasons for keeping his name are laughable. It’s all about “people know me as Charleston”, as in Bravo people. Way to start a marriage with a lean slate (oh, wait it wasn’t clean from the start!).
Love Rachel!!!!
Reagan probably married Jeff just to get the cool name. She’s not going to give it up now.
The name is well known and probably opens doors in New Orleans since he won a Super Bowl.
She’s going to be a mother and thinks having her ex husband’s last name is necessary?
Strange bird.
Strange bird indeed. B
I was so moved by the meeting Jon had with the young men. I’m not a cryer but I still have tears coming out of my eyes. They reminded me of how hard it is to be that age. No matter the circumstances you still feel like your decisions and circumstances aren’t your own. And then, their daily lives are so much more difficult and their daily decisions are life or death. They are all such intelligent, beautiful, well spoken young men. I just wanted to hug them all. I really need these tears to stop. Their situation is not news to me but, it was a touching reminder of how sweet most children really are. I hope I expressed myself right.
Your expression was beautiful and moving about a beautiful and moving event.
Thank you xx
Gee … which is more important … keeping the cool name on your crappy jewelry line, on your law degree (you’re a lawyer, get it changed), or having your last name match your kids’ last name (or using your maiden name)? This shows how superficial and selfish Reagan is. In a nutshell. Like anyone even CARES about the name of her jewelry. Bitch.
Tonight I feel like she put a bright yellow highlighter on her own idiocy. I did like that her husband didn’t want to participate in her storm out and stay for his glass of wine. I’m sure he had booze at home though. I hope Jeff knows how lucky he is to be away from her. She just seems so selfish that she can’t see beyond herself.
All I can think about is Jon Moody’s pop up show. That man is amazing. I was in tears. The paintings were perfection, the performance was perfection. I had tears. Damn shallow delusional Reagan. Just Ugh. She couldn’t even let her fiancé have small talk at the bar. She exhausts me.
I think Jeff has his own problems outside of Reagan. I hope he sticks with counseling but don’t count on it.
Reagan is so “happy” in her new life but its only a matter of time before it implodes. She wants it all about her, but so does Tamica. Who gets into everyone’s business and then some.
I agree that Jeff has problems, but he is redeemed by having a sweet side. I’m so used to pretenders on these shows (Reagan, for example) that I was amazed with Jon’s art. He’s got the goods.
I was annoyed when Betthany constantly plugged Skinny Girl, but that ugly Claire’s jewellery of Reagan is beyond and looks ridiculous on her. Even her friends don’t wear it.
Skinny Girl overkill and still is IMO. There is still product placement.
But, this jewelry line she takes credit for looks like a poor man’s knockoff.
Skinnygirl margarita is the business. A bar here sells it by the glass and it goes fast. As much as Bethany gets on my nerves, she has some decent products.
Reagan is using the last name because Jeff is loved in New Orleans and his name helped her, and she hopes it will help her jewelry line.
I wouldn’t be surprised if she is really using her new husband’s name in private.
An incredible talented artist with a big heart and love for the community. John Moody has a deep passion for empowering young African American young men to aspire to do great things. Wow. His work is so real and deep. I loved the pop up art show and the skit. He should really take that on the road. I would love to see is work on display in Dallas. We do no need another singing competition. Bravo VH1, BET or any other network want quality reality shows, please give Jon a creative art reality competition show that has the potential to inspire youth to aspire to go beyond their community.
Not back to the “ick: of the episode. That Regan is a piece of work and beyond. I know Tamica can be a bit much, but she is the one who decided to ex her friend from her life, during her shady hook up moments. So, how does she expect them feel? Also, she is so beyond self centered that it is beyond to pull back the curtain and she who she really is. She doesn’t care about anyone else. And the way she talked to Jeff on the phone? Man, she is trying sack a spin off, but she is just not likable. I am now begin to think poor Reese. Good luck with marriage bliss with All About Regan.
if someone as level-headed and nice as Rachel gets angry and fed up with your shit then you are in trouble…..REAGAN!! loved every second of that!
Regan does not have a store in Canal Place. That store opening was fake AF. I’v never seen her store in there, so I just checked the directory to see if maybe I missed it, and no indeed I did not. It is not on the directory either. She has her own website. That’s it.
So, it was a pop up shop event. I wonder why she is going full speed ahead with she has a brick and mortar business, knowing viewers in NOLA just might leak the truth?
She’s taking a page of the upcoming season of RHOA with Nene Leakes….
I think it’s a pop up kiosk. I bought a pair of earrings from her when there was just a website. They turned my ears green.
Jon Moody’s art is beautiful. Reagan lives in a world of delusion and when that baby arrives it’s gonna smack her hard in the head. It will be a hard pill to swallow that the world will no longer revolve around her when the royal baby arrives in Nola. If I was Reece I would insist on her changing her last name to his when they get married, who cares what is on your law school diploma or pop up shop. That baby is going to be confused
Rachel had the best reaction on the last episode to Jeff tossing his plate. She looked stunned and then took an aggressive bite of food like nothing had happened. I rewound it about 20 times and busted out laughing every time. Someone should make a gif.
Reagan is clueless and delusional. Such an unfortunate combo.
Love Jon Moody’s turtlenecks. He is single handedly tryingSa to bring those back!
Love this show. Reagan is in for a reality check when the dopamine wears off for her new husband and he gets tired of her silly antics
The guys can have the entire show, even Reece. Just a sprinkle of the ladies and the guys as the main dish .
Thank you for the recap, TT and the behind the scenes info.
More Jon, less Reagan.
Well Son of a Saint is apparently founded and run by Tamicas brother Sonny. She apparently did make the event not about her unlike Reagan…
Who keeps their ex husband’s name when they don’t have children together? You can change the name on a degree. Her new husband should see the giant red flags. Hope he got a pre nup.
Reagan and Reece are perfect for each other. It’s the baby who will pay the price. But I bet Reece’s mama will step in and hire a nanny. She makes all the important decisions anyway. Reece only decides whether to drink from a bottle, a glass, or another vessel.
Did anyone notice that Rachel’s title went from “Reagan’s Friend” to “Everybody’s Friend”? I do love her!
I of course think Reagan is evil but I initially really liked Tamica first season. This episode, and season in general, really hit home what a bitch she can be. She attacked Jeff calling him basically a liar regarding whether he knew of the pregnancy. I feel like Tamica has instigated a fight in nearly every episode. That being said, you now know how crazy it is that I still loooooved when Tamica straight up told Reagan she couldn’t stand to be in the wedding. Classic.
Either I missed something or these episodes are extremely out of order. At the Jon Moody show Tamica pointed out that Reagan could still wear a crop-top – if the wedding was one week away and they are planning on a gender reveal, there would at least be a baby bump. Her belly was a flat as a table.
They have chromosome testing now that can determine the sex as early as 8-9 weeks.
Reagan would make that baby’s last name Charleston if she thought she could get away with it. She is a piece of work. And that is one ugly-ass door knocker ring.
Finally caught up on this season. I think either knows or strongly suspects Reagan cheated on Jeff and they’re really just trying to be be polite about things. But that’s not good enough for Reagan. She wants them to fawn all over her and gush about her wedding and baby and that’s why people are losing patience with her and her constant whining. Not to mention, this is her second marriage. To demand all the accouterments and over the top dog and pony show like she’s some 20 year old blushing bride is ridiculous and beyond tacky.
We need more of Jon Moody and less Reagan bs. His clothes make me laugh, but I feel like he wants us to laugh about his bright obnoxious shirts so we talk more about what he is doing. I want to see more of his art because it some how is louder than Reagan’s whine.
