Then,
Before we get started on tonight’s RHOA recap that is full of awkward situations, I need to update you in real time about Marc Daly and Kenya Moore. First of all, tonight’s events at Marc Daly’s charity event occurred in September,just a few days before Marc and Kenya both posted about their separation. They seemed to be closer since that announcement. And two days ago, in real time, Marc issued an apology ahead of tonight’s episode. The problem is, the apology was issued to THE CHARITY for embarrassing them. Not a single word about his humiliating treatment of Kenya. Kenya responded by removing Marc’s last name from her Instagram. Curiously, the word ‘wife’ still comes first in her description. Let’s see just how bad this gets.
Let The Games Begin!
We begin at Eva’s baby shower. Cynthia is hosting it at one of Eva’s friend’s houses. Nene makes snide comments in her talking head about never being invited to Eva’s house. She knows damn well why that is. She is on the move trying to avoid her psycho sperm donor. Then ,Nene talks about how Marc called Kenya, “Ken” and insisted they invite Nene and Gregg to the charity event even though Kenya did not want Nene there. Eva is thirty-eight weeks pregnant and could pop at any moment.

Before Kenya arrives, Nene tells all the girls that she sent Kenya a text after the death of a couple of people made her realize life is short. Kenya did not respond to the text. Nene is probably blocked. Kenya arrives and no one is overly thrilled to see her.
The first baby shower game is to see who can suck down a baby bottle full of mimosas the fastest. Tanya sucks like crazy. But, Shamea wins in a controversial call despite Porsha claiming Shamea poked a hole in the nipple. In an effort to keep the drama away from Eva, Kandi takes Eva and Kenya outside to broker a truce that would get Tanya and her husband to attend Marc’s event. Kenya wants her to attend but Tanya is not really feeling it. Paul is not happy about the accusations Kenya made about the cookie lady. Kenya is still being a bitch to Tanya while asking her for a favor. She continues to trash Tanya in her confessional. Fun Fact: Tanya Sam is well connected in Atlanta and she and her husband work with many charitable organizations.
A Good Man Is Hard To Find
Kandi Burruss is ready to move on from the RHOA. She has been sticking around for the money. But like Bethenny Frankel, I am hearing Kandi is ready to give up her extremely large RHOA check in order to devote more time to her acting career. Tonight we see her preparing for a tryout in a role on The Chi. It’s for a “masculine”gay female and it includes a nude scene. Kandi i shocked that her posse thinks she gives off masculine vibes often. The baby is due in two months and she would be filming in Chicago at that time. Spoiler Alert! She gets the part of Roselyn Perry and filmed in Chicago for a multi-episode arc for season three airing this year. Todd supported Kandi in this pursuit.

Kenya and Cynthia get together to chat. Cynthia talks about Mike and how they have issues communicating. In particular, Mike shuts down during arguments. Kenya says she is having the same issue with Marc. She says that during an argument it is either an all out blow up fight, or Marc withdraws. Kenya says she deals with the issues through avoidance. She says she doesn’t know all of his triggers. Kenya usually has no idea why Marc Daly is upset. Kenya says that during the three years of their relationship, she can only recall Marc apologizing one time. Cynthia says that Mike is a good man. Kenya brings up Mike’s serial cheating in the past. Then, Kenya seems to suspect Marc is cheating.
Kenya Has Enemies From All Sides
While packing to go to NYC on a quick trip, Nene calls Wendy Williams. Nene says she doesn’t want to go to Greece with Kenya. She thinks she is going to get into it with Kenya on the trip. Wendy advises Nene to let Kenya bury herself because eventually, true colors will show. She tells Nene to give the girls friendship and love.

On the day of the charity event, Kenya presents Marc with his outfit for the evening. He is his usually snarky self. Kenya tells us in a talking head that she doesn’t mind doing all the things she does for Marc. However, she never feels appreciated, instead he seems to feel entitled to her time and effort. Kenya chose two tie options. On that compliments her dress that she likes and a second option. He choose option two. He seems like he tries to be an asshole. Then he wants to put people from the charity into the housewives tables. He doesn’t understand that there are only eight seats at the table. Kenya goes to get dressed, closes the door and whispers, “asshole.” It’s true.
Black Man’s Lab Event
In reality, Marc Daly has nothing to do with this local group of black men. This group was started pretty much at the time this event happened. It was begun by two Atlanta businessmen who meet with young black men every other Monday to discuss issues specific to black men in the US. It’s basically a big brother type program. Mike asks Eva’s husband to speak at the event without warning.
Tanya arrives with Porsha and Dennis. She never brought the event up to Paul. It seems Tanya does not have a seat at any table. So, she sits by Porsha in Shamea’s seat. Then Kenya informs her that she has already given away Shamea’s seat since she and her husband are not coming. By dinner time, the seats were still empty.
People In Your Life Who Care About You
Marlo arrives very late looking stunning as usual with her two young nephews in suits and Hermès belts. Marc is still giving his speech when she arrives. Then Mike Hill is called up. He acknowledges the women in the room who also worked on the night’s event. Marc never once mentioned his wife. As Kandi and Todd walk in, Marlo and her boys leave. Apparently they were placed at a table in the back and not with the other RHOA. Cynthia and Porsha chase after Marlo who is conveniently in the lobby. Eva also goes out. Eventually, Marlo and the boys are seated at a table adjoining the rest of the RHOA.

Mike Sterling’s speech was extremely powerful. He talks about being in foster care and being adopted by his parents. He is a thrilling speaker and Marlo’s nephews are totally engaged. His speech ends with the words “People in your life who care about you.” The camera shows a closeup of Kenya. /sad.
Every Body Knows That!
Next up to speak is Gregg Leakes. He barely made it in time because Nene had a flight back from NYC that was cutting things close. Marc glad hands around the room. It is clear that Marlo and the boys were placed in the back of the room by Kenya. Kenya is pissed at Marc and is taking it out on anyone and everyone else. She chews Kandi’s ear off talking about Marlo and Nene. Both of whom showed up for her event. Marc says he loves that Marlo brought two future black men with her to the event. A concept that seems lost on Marc. Dennis and Todd each pledged a $5000 donation.

Then, we get unexpected footage. So, this footage was shot from across the room and it is hard to tell whether this was a reporter or as the text on the screen says “a co-host” of the event or something. Anyway, Marc was asked if he was enjoying being married. He responded, “No, I hate it. Everybody knows that.” Then, we see audio of Marc cussing at production that they have five minute to get their cameras out of the event. Then he says, “They are never going to see me again after this event!”
Next week: The fallout from Marc’s public announcement of divorce. Then, it is off to Greece. And Nene and Marlo plan to come hard for Kenya the entire trip. Because, no mercy.
I have to say that the producing and editing of this season is terrible. The music is very Love and Hip Hop and you can tell who ever edited this season was probably in college and edited during homework breaks. They need a whole new production and editing team for season 13.
Kenya you wanna be a nasty ass vindictive villain and it’s backfiring on you. You was so focused on being a b*%# at this event and being nasty to Marlo and Tanya that you looked like a damn fool in the process.
Ain’t no reality show in the world that would ever make me sell my soul for a check and sellout what’s left of my messed up marriage. Marc didn’t wanna be filmed and since he had to, he showed his ass all season and didn’t do himself or you any favors. It is what it is at this point and I hope that bravo check keeps you warm at night Kenya because it for sure won’t keep your marriage together.
Nene is a whole joke to me and that’s that. You are not a victim Nene and you need to grow up and act like a women with grandchildren and do right. Stop acting like you don’t understand why these women don’t mess with you, when you’ve dogged every single one of them out and acted like they were beneath you. Nobody is checking for Nene in 2020 and once bravo is done with you and have no use for you anymore, you’ll really be on Twitter crying and hiring lawyers.
Kandi you’re so much better than this show but I ain’t mad at you sis!
Eva you’re beautiful boo but this show ain’t for you, mike and those beautiful children. Do the Rickey smiley show and some scripted tv show’s and you’ll be fine.
Tanya is great for this show but not with this cast of women. Tanya isn’t a saint but this show and the direction they’ve taken makes me wanna see Tanya elsewhere.
Porsha is ran through, tired and played out to me.
Cynthia definitely has maybe one more season in her but she’s too good for this show also.
Watching women’s marriages break down is not entertaining to me. These housewives shows are so far removed from what they used to be and it’s no longer fun or exciting to watch, at least it isn’t to me. The day’s of watching women go shopping, spend lots of money, have charity’s and events and go on lavish trips are long gone. It’s all about drama, shade, creating gif worthy moments and low down dirty fighting and it’s disgusting.
On point in everything you said! I agree with every word.
Wendy Williams tried to tell Eva the same thing the other day…that she doesn’t need this show, that she has the total package with her husband and beautiful children.
YES!!!! Everything you said was on point!
Bravo, bravo! Standing ovation,DD.
I could not agree with you more on every single one of these women. I don’t want to watch the show anymore because of Kenya. Marlo’s nephews deserved a lot than Kenya’s petty BS.
Ok my goodness so Marlo not RSVPing bringing other people without asking first not donating a dime to charity. Who is suppose to pay for her 3 plates. No problem but you should have the decency to call and say hey Kenya I want to bring my two nephews so they can see young black men making things happen. It just the respect. We know rich Nene didn’t donate we still waiting on her money for the Detroit schools.
None of what Kenya said is true. NO ONE PAID FOR THEIR SEATS they we working at their jobs, this was a Bravo filming for a reality show. Production paid all the necessary feeds. The boys were allowed to come by production.Dennis and Todd donated large amounts. That doesn’t mean no one else donated.
That’s right. You did notice, Kandi didn’t say anything, not one word while Kenya was spouting off.
So so true. I have been saying that Bravo needs to scrap all housewives and start from scratch. Every. Single. Franchise.
For the most part I agree with you. I love Porsha and wouldn’t want to see her leave. I think Marc married Kenya too quickly. I don’t think he knew the real Kenya. Once he saw and heard what she did, he probably said, what have I got myself into. At the event, he was listening to what his wife was saying which angered him. He was embarrassed at her behavior.
What did she say or do at the event that angered him? I’m asking seriously, my memory is shot. But I just recall her waiting on him hand and foot.
The put downs. That was not the time or place.
Editing. Marc is insecure, Kenya is insecure and needy, which can be annoying. Actually, it doesn’t matter if she said anything or not, Marc is going to be upset.
So I believe that Mark has been edited to be an ass. I think the tender moments were left out specifically for that reason. I dont think he was talking about “married life” I think he was talking about filming, he was referring to the intrusiveness of the cameras. As for Kenya she does look unhappy in her marriage and it shows that she was working at it. He being “submissive” is only what she said, she keeps quiet to avoid arguments. Kenya is not a nice person on the show, but most people can relate to the her on this one. I have no sympathy for Nene, she has lost authenticity and is so self absorbed that she can no longer be her true self. She is probably lonely. Candy is still Yawn… Cynthia is still FFwd…
I agree, I thought Marc’s comments was about filming/production and NOT towards Kenya.
As much as I love to see Kenya get a taste of her own nastiness I almost felt sorry for her this episode. Almost. She was butt hurt because she married an asshole to get a baby and guess what? He is an asshole. She lost any sliver of sympathy from me when she turned on her “friends” first chance she got about how ungrateful they are because she was embarrassed.
He really isn’t a very good control freak because Kenya had a twisted strap from the get go. Just sayin’.
I had to chuckle when she said they used to be soooo happy. Bullshit. That type of personality doesn’t come out overnight just like hers didn’t. She’s always been a mean girl and he has always been a nasty asshole. Congratulations, you’ve combined gene pools. Next!
They were doing better, it looked like they were happier before returning to the show.
Maybe get off and try it again.
I agree with Marlo about the seating. Those boys should have been upfront the whole time not seated in the back. Kenya needs to stop being petty. I really commend Marlo for taking over the care of those boys. They seem happy with her. Marc is just too much. He’s so rude and short with Kenya.
I love Eva and wish she had a reality show with her beautiful family ❤️
I feel like Eva and Kim Fields would be fun together, they could maybe throw Tanya in there too.
Kim Fields was an utter bore.
I also commend Marlo for taking in her nephews. Children should feel loved and wanted always.
Marlo was originally seated at the table with Nene (table 3) but when she looked at the table no one was there bc NeNe was late. You can hear Marlo say, we’ll just sit in the back. No one told Marlo to sit in the back. Marc even told her when she ‘wasn’t’ trying to be messy that she was at Nene’s table.
My heart goes out to Kenya. She has her beautiful baby and she needs to get away from that asshole.
I am still finishing up my Shah’s recap. During a commercial, There was a WWHL LIVE commercial. When Andy asked something about Kenya, Nene said “Fuck Kenya!” and it aired in full because it was a Live commercial. I am sure no one will care about that FCC bill because Bravo seems to think that money is no object when it comes to Nene.
Thank you for your recaps of these shows. I have been strong in giving up Bravo, but I still look forward to the recaps and throwing out a comment even though I have not watched a show in a month. ATL seems nuts.
If I didn’t already “hate” Nene, her appearance tonight on WWHL really sealed the deal. What a hateful, spiteful, mean woman she is. Even Marlo comes out looking good next to Nene. The Mouth didn’t miss one opportunity to be a catty bitch about Kenya and her failing marriage. AND she seemed like she was high on something…meth or coke I’d guess. I cannot wait for her big fat fall from grace.
Yes!! Thank you. I couldn’t believe her obnoxious Superiority complex on full display, followed by contorted facial expressions and mocking laughter. I literally felt Sick watching her. She is disgusting and disgraceful, knows it, and doesn’t care
ITA..I have been done with Nene for several seasons now. Her personality has changed as much as her outside appearance. Go back to season 1 lord have mercy, it’s two different people. Bravo needs to start from scratch
I agree with you ? percent. Nene has a case of the big head. Bravo and Andy Cohen deliberately show only negative issues about Kenya. Kenya is very smart and Andy don’t like her. Production sets up a lot of scenes to reflect Kenya as the villian. Cynthia and the Cookie lady was a set up. Cynthia knew her first. Tanya is not the innocent person that she pretend to be. Porsha is getting what she deserves from Dennis. I really want Kenya to not renew her contact and save her marriage. Marlo comment about Kenya’s Mother was a low blow.
I saw the commercial too and thought dang, did they not have the delay set up. Andy seemed perturbed.
Then toward the end of WWHL Nene talking bout having a “black day” when she was late for her own event. Andy wouldn’t comment. Perhaps didn’t want to get into a racial thing.
Nasty woman, messy show. Bravo seems stuck with Nene.
She also called it a CP day — aka Colored People, she explained. So she can insult other people of color with racial stereotypes and it’s OK because she is a woman of color? I’m sick of that and things like “black girl magic” being OK but if a white woman said “white girl magic” she would be reamed. Then again, if white girl magic would be something like Brittney’s (Vanderpump Rules) idea of a magical wedding, I am so glad it’s not a thing.
I couldn’t remember the official name she gave that day. I think this is why Andy didn’t say anything because it’s ok for Nene to talk about it but not for Andy to make a comment about it, He didn’t want to get into too much trouble. LOL.
I think she called it CPT – Colored People’s Time
As a BW, I don’t care if you are anyone else want to say or use “white girl magic”, it doesn’t upset me in any way, and I don’t understand why the term “black girl magic bothers you. Have your race been made to feel inferior? I would guess your answer would be no. It is a term to lift up young or older black girls who feel inferior, it is to encourage them to believe in themselves. So I would assume the phrase “Black girls rock” would offend you as well. Let it go and use the term “white girls magic’ or White girls rock it you choose too. Encourage and lift up yourself!
Neither offend me. I agree BGM is a term to lift up women who historically have been held down/back. I don’t like that young white girls can’t have their own “magic.” What DOES offend me is that, SADLY, we need to have these “uplifters.” I guess it doesn’t offend me, it angers me. Just as we have to fight for certain groups of people to have rights, when that should not be needed. Constitutional guarantees and all … But … it IS needed in MANY cases. Slowly changing for the better, but better slowly than not at all … or backward.
Do you really think Kenya&Marc are married?
That was actually funny. I was thinking, “did she really just say that?”. Then declared that she didn’t have the money to pay the FCC.
This show was a mess. Marc wanted everyone to go bowling before the event (last week’s episode), but Kenya told Tanya she couldn’t come without Oaul, that it was just for couples. Then, Marc pointed out Cynthia was there without Mike. Also, Eva was there alone too. Then, Kenya tries to shame Tanya into coming to the event. Then, Tanya comes but Kenya didn’t want to let her sit in Shamea’s seat. Marc is an ass to her, but it’s hard to feel bad for her the way she acts sometimes.
I think Marc has told her he hates filming, wants nothing to do with it, etc He feels she chooses Bravo. He is hurt, mad and done.
WWHL was hard to watch. Nene seems on something and just wanted to make nasty comments about kenya the whole time. Marlo wasn’t so bad, but she looks like shre had a lot of work done. Looked almost like Kandi with that wig to.
Omgggg I thought it was Kandi on WWHL too. Marlo looked exactly like her. Was it the wig?? Or was it a (partially) new face ??? Glad it wasn’t only me who thought that…???
Ok I thought it was just me. When Andy said Marlo was on WWHL and had to do a double take. It only came across that it was Marlo after she started speaking. I can’t tell what she has had done but she looks better (imo).
No sympathy at all for Kenya
I dont know that I have ever seen a nose piercing on a guy like Marc has. It seems awfully feminine, Is it me? (Dealing with closeted issues might explain his ever present crabby ass.)
If Kenya was anyone else, my heart would break for her. But she isn’t. And for as much as she was apparently going thru with her failing marriage, she never missed an opportunity to be the nastiest b!tch on the planet
Yea, she didn’t mind trying to break Tanya’s heart, or hurt her relationship ….because of a wig????
I did not like how Kenya treated Marlo. However, when I actually watched the episode a second time, I saw that Kenya didn’t tell Marlo to sit in the back. She tried directing her to the table Tanya and Nene were to be seated at. Marlo was the one that stated let’s go to the back. I think she may not have seen Tanya and assumed Kenya had her sitting with strangers. When in actuality that wasn’t the case. I believe Kenya then became upset with Marlo, because of the scene. But, I totally agree with Cynthia that Kenya was misdirecting her anger.
Kenya was/is a nasty, mean-spirited woman, but I did feel a glimmer of sympathy for her on tonight’s episode. She was desperate for a baby, and settled with a jerk. I don’t think Marc is edited negatively. I think he is genuinely indifferent towards his wife, and hates everything about this show. She reminisces about their love story as this whirlwind joy fest, but was it ever that great?
This season overall is boring. Seems like it’s been on forever too. Hopefully the Greece trip spices things up!
Regarding Marc’s editing (or not), I seem to remember seeing here several months back — MAYBE IT WAS IN A BLIND, later revealed — that one of Tamara’s sources said that an RH husband did not get a bad edit, that he was a bona fide asshole. (Apologies if I dreamed it or remembered it wrong.)
Yes there was a blind about production not liking a husband.
I’m watching WWHL and Nene definitely seems high or drunk. Is it just me? Hate to admit it, but I agree with Nene; the things Marc said/does are terrible, but it’s hard to feel badly for someone who is so mean.
It’s weird how perspectives on the episode are different. I thought Marlo and Nene were seated on the same table except Marlo thought she was on a random table because Nene and Gregg hadn’t arrived yet. I don’t see why Kenya should’ve put Marlo on her friends table, they don’t even get on? I think Marc has been edited to be even meaner than he is because production don’t like him. The whole segment showing the event just seemed patched together, no flow. I also don’t understand why Tanya refers to Paul as her husband, won’t that take the shine away when they eventually do get married? What is wrong with calling him her fiancé? She did it last season in Japan and again throughout this season. It’s weird.
I wonder if Tanya calls Paul her husband because that’s the closest she’ll get to being married. She’s mentioned trying to have children with him and everything but an actual marriage. Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free?
Yeah, I’m not one of those people that think you have to be married but why address your boyfriend as your husband? I read on another blog this morning that they’ve been engaged for 8 years. I suppose they’re probably just comfortable with where they are. Good luck to them. It’s obviously a sore spot for Tanya though, that meltdown last season in Tokyo proved that and her constant IG posts proving that Paul is her “husband” just seem a bit much. Their wedding will be absolutely spectacular if they do go ahead.
I saw them on WWHL, Nene is insufferable. I used to think part of her as charming, but no more. She made me more fond of Marlo, and I never thought that would happen.
Marc is an out & out prick… I’d know I’m married to one, I don’t like Kenya but in this episode I felt extremely sorry for her. Eva, if you read this site your Husband is a gem, all the very best TT & Banjo, xx
I am very sorry you are married to someone like that but the way you put it is hilarious.
@WCPeach, Dear Peach, I hope you find this reply, thank you for your kind words, my Husband is in fairness a bloody good man, my early menopause makes me a bitch, the poor fucker can’t look at me sideways & I take huge offence !
Lovely to meet you & thanks again, Niamh x
Omg…menapause our final punishment for the bite out of the apple story. And by far worse than menustration, pregnancy and labor. My poor husband trembles in complete fear over ever touching the thermostat again. He almost got a container of cat food thrown at his head but I slammed down on table over and over exploding cat food everywhere. If your in Georgia let’s meet for lunch and drinks…all Georgia fans invited….are you in TT? Can be TTCon.
I can relate. I’m married to an evil ass. My sons have begged me to divorce him. They have told him he is F’d in the head, I just really feel like I’ve already ruined my life. I’m 51 and put up with it this long.
51 is the perfect age to take control of your life. My sister became a College Professor at 50. I changed my career at 55 and work as a crisis responder/victims advocate for sexual assault victims. Life is too short to be unhappy. If you ever need someone to vent/talk to you may request my email from T. I wish you all the best.
Marc didn’t mean he hated the marriage; he meant the show. He’s still a prick though.
He was literally asked about being married. It’s clear he hates both. The show was an issue for Marc from the beginning of the relationship. But he sure seemed to like filming there for a hot minute.
I have made my final conclusion that Mark is a Hotep — anyone not in the know, a crude explanation is a black subculture of men who believe in/try to facilitate black excellence among men, but also believe that it’s a woman’s right by god to serve her man in any way he sees fit. The extremism in which they operate is what sets them apart from other bible thumpers that try to diminish women’s rights.
He fits the bill in every way possible. It’s a common trope that you find a handsome, successful, seemingly kind man who is somehow still single — and then it turns out he’s single because a he’s a Hotep — and no one wants to deal with that negative repressing shit in 2020.
“Hotep,” I love that term. I have known a few Hoteps. I see another trait in Marc that I am familiar with. In this case, I have only Kenya’s lens to view, but there are abusive men who begin each relationship being ultra charming, considerate, oh-so-focused on you. And then … after they have reeled you in, and set the hook, they isolate you from your support group and start undermining any confidence you ever had. They twist everything to make you believe YOU are the problem because … remember how wonderful everything was before YOU ruined everything. “Look what you made me do,” is a common refrain. Especially after they physically or publically verbally abuse you.
I love the word Hotep too! It just rolls off the tongue, and feels like I’m getting the opportunity to call someone a hoe.
@ Nanette. I dated a guy who was a Hotep and yes they will try and isolate you from family and friends. My Hotep started a really stupid fight in a hotel room. When I asked him to lower the volume on the TV he threw the remote at the wall and smashed it. I knew at that point it was time to get out. I felt that if I stayed one of us would be in jail (me) for killing the other. It would have been the “Burning Bed Part 2”. I didn’t know that was the name that guy’s like that are called (good to now know).
So happy for you that you escaped in time. Too many do not.
Hotep must have changed meanings…. I thought it was a Libyan word… at least there it means peace and the American kids used it like “Peace, man!” …”Hotep, my man!”
I wondered the same thing, but I figured it referenced the Egyptian -Hoteps, who built those gigantic monuments to/of themselves because they were dictator/rulers (and gods in their eyes).
I won’t discuss what I’ve read on other recap sites, but I believe it is OK for me to say that NeNe was on The Talk recently. I did not watch. I remember when she was on Fashion Police after “my” Joan died. In what universe does anybody think it gives a show credibility to have NeNe on as “herself”? At least in Glee she was “acting.” In any other case, having Ms. (secret abbreviation for Moose) Leakes on your show screams desperation.
I think Marc is a nervous wreck that he is going to get outed. I strongly believe he spends his time at the Red Roof Inn booty bumping with other guys.
Let me say this to all those the bash Kenya, are any of the other women any better? Kenya gets the villain edit, she’s fine with being the villain (it pays the bills) and she knows it’s a job. Some of y’all are lobbying hard for Tanya when she’s just as messy as everyone else. Also if you can’t have compassion for Kenya’s situation with Marc what makes you better that what you say about her? I’m privileged to be aquatinted with someone close to her and she truly sees this as a job and an opportunity to showcase her hair care line. Furthermore, Nene is just trash, I find her funny at times but she’s truly just a big mean girl.
I have never heard any of the other women call another woman the “c” word so that alone makes the other women better in my eyes. Even trashy NeNe never used the word (at least not on camera).
Let’s not forget Nene wished rape on another woman… I would take being called the c word over someone wishing I would get raped..
Actually I was going to comment that, Eva was on a talk show and said that Kenya is NOT the same person in real life as she is on the show. She also said that Kenya is / was the first to check in on her/ congratulate her on the baby etc! She said “Kenya plays the villain & looks at it like a job & it is her character”
Last night RHOA left me with a headache, it gave me flashbacks of my ex. The same demeaning way of talking to me, nothing is ever good enough and finds fault in everything. After a few years, I checked out of that mess. Kenya needs to get out of that mess, it’s not cool. I feel sorry for her and those salivating over this is pathetic. Rhoa has ran it course…
There is something wrong with Marc. I don’t know what it is, but he seems bent. Speaking in a normal voice, making eye contact and listening to other people seem impossible for him. Regular conversation is awkward and stilted. He misses with women and men. Everyone feels uneasy. The only person he has chemistry with is the baby.
Kenya needs to know her worth. The irony is astounding. All along she has been so proud and strong, even when a bitch, she never backs down. Now this man makes her meek and mad and feel inadequate! Kenya! No!
Nene wonder’s why no one wants to be bothered with her but yet she made that snarky comment about Eva. That was SO not necessary. As Eva stated on another show, Nene and Kenya are a lot alike and I agree with her. Both are Bitter Betty’s and mean spirited. Eva also said both are really nice when the camera’s are not rolling (outside the show), I have a hard time believing that comment though.
I don’t like Kenya when she is just nasty, and i really am not feeling bad for her husbands behavior because she has admitted they have faults so i assume we are ot seeing the Marc she sees. This season’s kenya is like her first season and its difficult to watch. Nene is also a mean caricature of herself. I really like Marlo this season, Eva and Kandi.
These shows used to have people having fun and being silly, those were my favorite episodes.
I feel sorry for any woman in an abusive relationship, regardless of whether or not she is a bitch.
One would think all women would feel that way. To think otherwise is to be in the “she deserves it” camp. It’s been an eye opening experience to me how many people are comfortable to voice that kind of hate here.
It’s really surprised me too. I expected better.
A lot is playing to the cameras, but from what I see it’s impossible for me to empathize with Kenya. She has been just as nasty as anyone on RHOA. So if she has a miserable marriage then maybe she needs to look in the mirror and except 50% blame.
And remember how vile she was to
Porsha and Kim Fields etc regarding their marriages. So she’s getting back what she put out in spades, deservedly so.
When a man is abusive, verbally or otherwise IT IS ENTIRELY HIS FAULT. Abuse victims are not 50% to blame because of what they were wearing or something they said. A real man walks away and stays away especially if they find someone triggering. The don’t stay and spew abuse every single day. That’s a sign they need help. And a restraining order.
THANK YOU TT for reminding us of the obvious. I’m disappointed by a number of commenters here expressing how Kenya “deserves” this abuse. Kenya is the mother of Marc’s baby girl. They are forever connected because of Brooklyn.
I went through some dicey times with my oldest daughter’s father, we were married for 10 years btw. I still have yet to say anything bad about him to my daughter. I’ve had to take on the crap he’s said about me to our baby (30 y/o now, God I love that girl so much it hurts) over the years, I just don’t play. When she has a question I can answer about me? I answer. When she has a question about her father, I defer to him…unless it’s easy like his military hx, family hx, our time together, that kinda stuff is reassuring to her when she hears and knows the good stuff about her Father she loves and of course wants to feel connected to.
I will also just add in defense of a new mommy, hormone goggles can easily explain bad behavior by daddies, then when the hormones wear off, there’s already an established routine of bad behavior that needs to A) never have happened or B) if it has been happening, needs to be nipped in the butt pronto. I suspect C) Kenya still has her love and hopeful goggles on when it comes to Marc and her family. She just wants it all to be good and happy so she’s sacrificing herself for that dream. She’ll figure it out.
The “look what you made me do” attitude is unacceptable AND dangerous. I hear it over and over on true crime shows. I hate those (mostly) guys. When cops are trying to get a confession out of a suspect they believe is one if those victim-blamers, they often PRETEND to have empathy for the asshole with the old “what did she do to make you snap” method. The next snap is the handcuffs.
Kenya has so much pride and such a big ego, that it’s hard watching her making herself so small when she’s around Marc.
I want to tell her she is worth being loved by the right person. Everyone is. I hope she finds him.
Love or hate Kenya, she doesn’t deserve the verbal abuse from her husband. His behavior is HIS fault – not hers. Period. I think the hate marriage/filming was an audio splice. But it doesn’t matter his behavior tells the story anyway.
I hate that she called Tanya the c word and that she pulled a Phaedra by stressing that she has a husband and a baby. It wasn’t cool then and it’s not cool now.
If Tanya is okay with being eternally engaged that’s her business. But don’t call your fiancé your husband.
TT do you watch the after show they put on bravo. I can’t believe that Marc got upset with Eva for eating at the event. She was 8 months pregnant. Eva and Cynthia really don’t like him I could tell by the way they were discussing the way he treated Eva. He’s a pig.
I don’t usually have time. I will try to check it out later, thanks. And IT WAS A SIT DOWN DINNER. People eat.
One word, EDITING. Marc is an ass but come on people, those comments could have been about anything. Kenya you deserve better for sure.
Kenya IS and always will be a MEAN GIRL.
I don’t feel sorry for Kenya.
Kenya wanted a baby. She got one.
Kenya wanted a man to give her a baby.
She got one.
Baby daddy did his part- case closed.
Bye Kenya.
Food for thought regarding Tanya referring to her fiancé as her husband. In some States like mine, after you have cohabited with a man for a certain amount of time and have referred to him as your husband in public, it is one of the conditions for creating a common law marriage. Another condition was if you name each other as beneficiaries on a life insurance policy, or co-mingle finances.
My common law husband up and left me for a younger woman out of the blue. I rushed to an attorney and put a freeze on all assets by filing for “divorce” even though we never legally married. He tried to claim I had no rights to anything. He thought he was in safe waters. Court judge called bullshit on him. Stated that in our State we were actually legally married according to the reasons listed above. I got 1/2 the value of the home and our joint bank accounts, and one our vehicles.
Maybe, just maybe, there are similar rules in Georgia and Tanya is just smart enough to know this. Hence her referral, in public, to her fiancé being her husband. Then again, maybe I am talking out my ass. Just relating my own personal experience.
I am so glad you did not live in Georgia. Georgia abolished common law marriage more than 25 years ago.
