Sadly, tonight’s RHOA recap will cover the end of Kenya and Marc’s marriage. We saw it all break down on the last episode in real time. Marc was truly and utterly done. He made the announcement the next day publicly without giving Kenya the heads up. Kenya desperately wants to keep the marriage together. And, they have seemed to be getting along here lately. They have talked about counseling. As someone said in the previews, all we can do is pray. Though I am not sure being with Marc is the best thing for Kenya.
Nene Leakes Just Loves To Be Awful
The moment the news hits the Internet, Nene is already pushing her agenda that Kenya and Marc are not legally married. Nene has been feeding that rumor to the blogs since right after they got married. Nene may say her name is Bennett, but she is most definitely in it. Right there stirring the shit at every opportunity.

Real friends, Cynthia and Kandi show up to talk to check on Kenya. Though they are in full makeup and hair. When Kandi came to check on Kenya after Matt vandalized her house, she came running with no makeup on. So they had advance warning for this scene. Cynthia didn’t wake up like that. Though, to be fair they could have been planing to film something else today like packing for the trip.
Marc Daily Is An Asshole
Kandi witnessed their last big fight in the car after the charity event. Kandi said it got “real bad” and Kandi has her own experiences and knows what real bad means. After the charity event, Kandi told Kenya at that time if she put out a statement then, than everyone would be talking (shit) about it. Cynthia and Kandi both agree that the things they knew about before this were so bad that they would have already left Marc well before the charity event.

They find Kenya crying in her bedroom with Brooklyn asleep in her crib. Kenya says that she went to bed after the event and her publicist woke her up the next morning asking what was going on with the divorce statement. Kenya didn’t know that Marc was going to make a statement. She says he forced her hand by doing that. It seems she did not want to make a statement. Kenya said everything he did the night before was hurtful and she didn’t know what was going on.
Marc Daly Was Put Out Of The Uber
She says he was awful in the Uber and said that she didn’t even want her to come to the event. She says he cannot stop coming for her once he is angry. This was the angriest she had ever seen him in such close quarters. Kenya says things got really out of hand and the Uber driver pulled over and asked him to get out of the car. She told Marc not to come back to the house. She claims he did not hit her. But you can tell she was afraid of him in the Uber.

Kenya tells the girls that she saw texts where another woman was begging him to keep having sex with her despite him getting married. At that time she told Marc that maintaining contact with her was inappropriate but they continued to text. Kenya says she also called the bitch. Good for you Kenya, I would have done the same damn thing. Kenya’s crying breaks my cold, dark, heart.
Off To Greece!
I hate how these girls dress for the airplane. Cynthia is the only one who understands that you can be comfortable and still look like you belong in first class. Marlo of course goes right in asking Cynthia, Kandi and Porsha if Kenya is really getting a divorce. Kandi is great about giving as little information as possible to the enemy. Kenya said she didn’t want to come on the trip because the other girls hate her and will taunt her. Marlo and Nene will for sure. I don’t think the rest will. I think even Tanya will be kind to her.

Yep! Nene arrives in her pajamas for the flight. And she starts right in trashing Kenya. I don’t care how much you paid for those pajamas, you do not wear them in an airport. Especially if you are changing flights in Amsterdam. We know Kenya and Brooklyn go to Athens, but clearly she changed her flight to get away from Nene and Marlo. She is one smart cookie.
Who Knew There Was So Much Pussy In Greece?
What actual airline did they take to get a direct 11 hour flight? I guess it doesn’t matter. It wasn’t Delta and that is all I can fly unless I want to sit in cattle class. And this heifer is to big to fly cattle class. Kenya shows up to ride to the hotel in the van. Marlo tells us, “How are we not going to ask about the divorce? If it were anyone else, Kenya would ask.

They are staying at White Key Villas. Looks lovely but removed from the hustle and bustle. I guess that is good for the rest of the folks in Athens. But, it would not be my choice. After seeing the rooms, it totally would not be my room I enjoy my hotel rooms when I travel. Sometimes I stay in all day and watch TV and enjoy the view from my balcony with a glass of wine.
Who Can Shove The Nasty Down Their Throats Fastest?
Since Kandi and Kenya have somehow been deemed co planners by production, Kenya get to make the girls gag for their rooms literally. The nasty raw fish eating contest (don’t you weird types call that sushi? What’s the problem?) is very close between Marlo and Tanya. They are both very good at putting gross stuff in their mouths. Marlo seemed to win. But Kenya calls it for Tanya. Then, in a twist in the game, Porsha gets to take Tanya’s room.

Cynthia seems hellbent on getting Nene and Kenya to talk together. There is no way in hell that Kenya wants to deal with Nene’s ignorant ass. WTF, Cynthia? Sometimes you can say no to production.
Beware Of Greeks Bearing Gifts
Dinner looks delicious and Kandi, who usually just waits to each until they pass an American fast food place, gives it high praise. Then, she mentions it’s not good for her diet. She finally mentions that she has a role in The Chi and she has nude scenes. As it turns out she isn’t able to do that part partly because of this Greece trip and other RHOA filming obligations. So she had to decline. The good news is, the offered her another part that fit her schedule because they wanted her so badly. YAY! Oh, I didn’t think that was going to be explained on the show. But they did.

Marlo was very complimentary of Kenya’s peach dress when she arrived to dinner. Everyone seems to be getting along great. Marlo gives a lovely toast to Kandi and Kenya for “hosting” the event. Then Nene tells Kenya that she and some of the others have been through a divorce. She genuinely wants to know if Kenya is okay. Damn if I don’t actually believe Nene is being sincere. Marlo seconds Nene’s concern.
Greek Tragedy
Kenya cries and thanks everyone individually who reached out to her. The only one she didn’t mention is Nene who clearly did not reach out. Kenya cries and Marlo gets up to stand behind her and comfort her. Okay, Marlo. Now you are doing too much. She has two friends there. Tanya tells us in confessional that now she gets why Kenya did what she did to her. Kenya doesn’t think either one of them want a divorce, but right now she doesn’t see a way out. Kenya says she doesn’t want to bring the trip down. She just wants them all to have a hot girl summer.

Cynthia tries to force Nene and Kenya to speak. Kenya says she has to go check on Brooklyn even though production already showed us that the nanny and Brooklyn were down for the night the last time she called. Nene talks all matter of Trash about Kenya in her talking head including repeating “Fuck Kenya!” several times. I do think Kenya missed an opportunity to lull Nene into a few days of human decency by not speaking to her. I do think Nene was a bit genuine. But I get it.
Kandi and Tanya convince Kenya to at least be kind to Nene before going to her room. So she decides to take her some baklava on a desert plate. Nene storms off and Kandi tries to explain that Kenya was making a nice gesture but Nene is already heated. Nene’s door is closed.
Next week: Kenya’s jokes about wine are aimed at Cynthia and come across as digs about Bailey Wine Cellar. Oh Kenya. Girl. You already lost your man. Don’t lose Cynthia too!
I want Marlo with a peach next season and I wanna see more about her life, family life and see her in action taking care of her nephews. I never thought I would say this but Bravo give Marlo her peach and let’s see how this goes. Marlo has her ways but I’m really liking her this season and like her on this show.
I want Tanya with a peach next season also and bring back Shamari and Drew Sidora would be perfect as a housewife or friend.
It’s hard watching these episodes because Nene and Kenya together have this big negative cloud and have so much bad energy when they aren’t getting along. One of them has to go and it’s not up for debate. Bravo had reruns of season 11 on earlier and I enjoyed it and laughed but this season has been bad and dark. I had no idea it would be this bad when Kenya came back and thought she would be so much happier with good energy but I was wrong.
I was thinking the same thing, I dont think they will give Marlo a peach but i have liked her more this season than any other. (sometimes she kind of scared me), I would LOVE to see her with those boys, I have a feeling that is a show in itself.
Can I get an Amen, Will said.
I truly don’t think Kenya & Marc are married…tbh
Neither do I because I believe if Kenya got married, it would be the event of the century with everybody in Atlanta present. We didn’t even witness the courtship between Kenya and Mark, and it came out of nowhere.
Kenya, girl, toss that f*** boi to the curb and enjoy the freedom of raising your sweet, happy girl. Seems like Kenya is carrying the whole show at this point.
Ditto and I like the way you said THAT.
Don’t. Feel. An. Ounce. Of. Sympathy. For. Ken. #evil
I’m with you, on this one.
Me either
I know I’m in the minority, however, I don’t feel empathy Kenya. Kenya has been very nasty and mean to several women on the show. If it was any of the other ladies going through a very hard time in their relationship Kenya would not care she would be her usual rude nasty self. I feel like Kenya is reaping what she sowed. She’s very aggressive and rude with everyone else but she plays weak and docile with the AS SWHOLE that she should stand up to. I just can’t muster up ANY sympathy for her.I’m not saying she deserves what Marc is saying and doing because no one deserves to be treated like that. Her marriage is in trouble and she was focused on being a ASS HOLE to Tanya. Cynthia is one of her best friends and look how she’s treating her.
Agreed. Kenya reveled in others pain since she has been on RHOA and has attacked several relationships and marriages. They are really all cutting her some major slack. Too much if you ask me! Kenya NEVER respected the sanctity of marriage and I too don’t believe she is legally married. I want the receipts!
Time will tell, maybe Marc will tell the truth behind there marriage, who knows. Kenya lie so much. He may be the one to put on blast.
Marc gives Kenya a great BIG Spoon of her own treatment. And she can Not take it, but she dam well can serve it. The way she treats her coworkers. Everyone but Kandice & Cynitha.
She treats cynthia badly too.
She is too smart to go after kandi.
I’ve said this before. Kenya was trying to get sympathy while bringing a storyline. I truly believe her tears were fake. Wearing no makeup helped her
look sympathetic, but im not buying it.
Oh Renee and Epitome I so agree that Kenya has been awful to her “friends”. I had a weak moment tonight in the beginning of the episode but got WAY over it by the end of the show. She and Nene will never change.
That’s right. Kenya has been so nasty with no regard of what others have gone through. How Tanya has handled this, I admire. Kenya treated her badly recently yet Tanya didn’t use this as an opportunity to get back at her. I can’t say the same would be true if the shoe was on the other foot.
Tanya is happy and in love she is not worried about Kenya. She is a good addition I like her light and airy attitude alone with Porsha’s they arent super serious and boring. I must say they were dressed horribly this season, cant wait for BH at least there are some great fashions.
Have to admit I felt bad for Kenya when I saw just how poorly Marc treated her. With no makeup or fancy clothes she even appeared genuine in her sadness. For those who criticized my laughter at him calling her Ken and not having her back when she was being a total bitch about the couples crap at the bowling alley I won’t apologize, she deserved to be called out. But if this was how she was being treated at home over bs crap I would punch him in the throat… at home… with no witnesses.
What I’m wondering about is did he treat her that way before they had a baby? Guessing he did. My ex-husband was the same personality type but I drew the line at procreating with the turd and divorced his ass. I know she wanted a baby/family but I wish she had gone the surrogacy route.
Greece should be fun, I’ve not been but it’s on the list if I can get my effing lumbar and neuropathy stuff fixed so I can walk distances.
I also agree, that she has been deeply hurt by this man and any man that puts his hands on a woman isn’t much of a man. As for those who talk about her and how she has treated other women, except for Cynthia and Kandi, none of them have clean hands. All have had their moments, that’s why they are on that series. It doesn’t elevate their behavior to talk about someone else’s because they aren’t in the spotlight at the moment.
I was bothered by her double standard when she was saying while Marc had never been physical abusive with her although she has had previous relationships where that has been an issue so that is a real concern for her but yet when she called Marc’s ex-girlfriend she told her “I Know Where You Live.” So it is ok for Kenya to threaten the ex-girl friend with physical violence and go beat her up? In next week previews the other cast members have to hold Kenya and Nene apart to keep them from hitting one another. As we have seen over the seasons Porsha, Nene and Cynthia have all tried to and in some cases succeeded in physically attacking one another, a guest, or member of the crew. They all want to empower young women and men and be role models but they all fly off the handle and the first response seems to throw a punch.
Kenya needs to cut the husband loose and get into therapy for herself. So much of what she says and does to the others is displaced anger at her own situation with Marc where she won’t stand up for herself. He does not respect her or their marriage and I can’t see that changing.
I just cannot feel sympathy for this woman and I am almost ashamed of that fact. But honest to God.. she has been the meanest, ugliest, cruelest person. What the hell did she expect? Having said that.. marc Daly is a pc of shit
Agree…I kept trying to feel for her, especially having been in an abusive relationship and a marriage that ended in abandonment and infidelity, but watching those scenes with her left me numb to her pain. I just can’t with her toxic attitude.
Nene deserves every bit of shade, ignoring, and rudeness that comes her way. She is a phony. Who in the hell would want marital advice from her? I can answer that…..NO ONE!!!!! All of her apologies have been fake, and who tries to spit on others? NENE of course….but let her tell it; she is classy!!!! Yeah right. I would not hire her for ANY job for tv or movies or dropping fries. She is vile, spiteful and hateful. Never liked her and probably never will. She is a wanna be, and she NEVER will be.
It’s kind of sad that Nene has gone from funny to vulgar. When Bravo cancels the show she will be lost because of her attitude and mean personality, who would want to work with her?
Bravo has created a monster in Nene. The difference b/t her and Kenya is that Kenya is playing the role. Some of her cast mates have confirmed that Kenya is a nice, genuine person. With Nene, we see who she really is. She’s great at revising history. She wants to give marital advice but conveniently forgets she divorced Greg and her treatment of him when he had cancer. She didn’t spit at Kenya, she didn’t call Kenya’s baby a buffalo, etc. It’ll be interesting to see what becomes of her when the RHOA gravy train ends – All things come to an end.
I’m am super late to comment on this episode, but you make very valid points!! Well said 👌👏
I grow to like Tanya more every episode. She said the whole cookie lady drama that Kenya ambushed her with makes so much more sense now. Very insightful.
Agree 1000%! Tanya seems like she’d be cool to hang out with. It will be fun to see how she evolves on this show.
Super small detail that doesn’t have a lot of bearing on the recap but I just wanted to add my 2 cents since TT was curious…I’m pretty sure everyone but Kenya and her posse flew Delta to Newark and then connected on the Emirates direct flight to Athens. The clip of the girls in the business class seats was definitely Emirates and they have what’s called a fifth freedom flight to Athens from Newark. There’s no reason they’d fly from the US and transit in Dubai just to head back west to Athens. Really not sure how Kenya got there because I don’t know if Delta has a direct flight from Atlanta at the time of year this episode was filmed but it’s possible.
Thanks. Delta doesn’t have a direct flight but they do have one from NYC. She may have gone there first. The other ladies had a connecting flight from somewhere, Some that is how Kenya made up her time according to Kenya.
Maybe she took a PJ? Is she friends with Randall and Lala? 🤑
If any of the ladies were going through this, Kenya would be shading the hell out of them. Look how she’s took joy in digging up mess in other people’s marriages. She knows it, that’s why she was trying to back out of the trip.
I don’t like Nene anymore. When this show started she was a different person, the show and the fame turned her in to what she is today. I’m sure she was never a saint but she did have a spark and such a fun personality. She was the reason the show became a huge hit.
Kenya in the other hand is an actress, who went as far as faking a relationship for the show years ago. If I’m not mistaken it was confirmed that the tow truck guy only came on the show to promote his business and it was obvious that they barley knew each other.
Kenya is the type of person who knows how to manipulate situations and push people’s buttons just enough so that they lose control.
What she did to Tanya who seems like one of the sweetest and smartest people I’ve ever seen on reality tv was wrong. If anybody else’s relationship was falling apart, she’d be having a blast making fun of them. I actually don’t think Nene was as bad as I thought she would be.
If Kenya faked a relationship once, why can’t we believe that Marc is another fraud. Just saying.
Kandi is no friend to anyone on the show either. The only genuine friendships she had were with Kim before Kroy came along and to Phaedra and Apollo. Then she obviously had more loyalty for Apollo and it pissed Phaedra off.
Kandi is very smart and she showed how well she plays her cards on big brother but her and Kenya have nothing but an alliance. You can tell that Kandi thinks every other word that comes out of her mouth is crazy. This show is just business to Kandi now.
I don’t know if Kenya’s marriage is real or not but something there wants right all along. I don’t believe anything she says. It might all be a giant act for all we know but I hate to say that I’m one of those people who think if this is real and she really is suffering, I can’t feel sympathy because she has been lying and crying wolf for so long.
I really don’t believe a word Kenya speaks, but her grief is real. I can feel it. I don’t like her husband either, but I cannot stand to see Kenya this demoralized by that weirdo. I just hope Brooklyn is okay in this mess.
I agree
Great recap. If someone kicks dogs over and over for no reason and then gets bit, I don’t feel sorry for them. You reap what you sow. Nene and Kenya continually hurt others. Maybe as a defense, maybe because hurt people hurt people or just because they are miserable women that feel the happiness and success of other women effect how they value themselves. It’s sad that even one young woman watching the show could view them as some sort of role model.
I agree with everything you said. I don’t like seeing anyone in pain, but I just can’t sympathise with either of them when they take joy in others suffering.
I need Marlo to get more family scenes. I’ve been loving what she adds to the show for a long time. I’m glad she finally got her first event this season, but that was made a mockery of by Kenya, who I am simply not liking this season. And that’s saying something considering she’s up against Nene this season.
I find it hard to feel sorry for Kenya. Maybe if she spent less time bringing the Cookie Lady to events to antagonize Tanya’s marriage and instead focused on her own marriage woes, she might not be facing divorce. Kenya came on the show to accomplish a goal. She has intentionally played the villain for so many seasons despite her actually being super intelligent, beautiful and kind. I’m not feeling the redemption this season.
And Nene deserves everyone icing her out of the group. She’s so miserable and has intentionally tried to bully others for so many years. I do think she has a point though: everyone forgives each other over more devastating drama. There is a double standard with Nene, but she simply has been toxic for SO long.
Why would Kenya accept an olive branch from Nene, who would just take it back once she got mad at Kenya again. I wouldn’t accept anything from Nene either, she treated Greg someone she is suppose to love like dirt when he was sick and now she wants to help Kenya and extend an olive branch? Heck no, I wouldn’t trust her either. Yes Kenya has been horrible to other couples and there are no excuses for that behavior, but isn’t this what these shows are about “messiness”!
I agree.
