EXCLUSIVE! RHOA Reunion Tea: It Was Explosive!

April 26, 2020 by tamaratattles 50 Comments

This is a Tamara Tattles EXCLUSIVE! Please be respectful and quote minimally and provide a link to this page.

Here is the RHOA Reunion tea. After many cancellations and delays, last Thursday the RHOA filmed the virtual reunion. Bravo was pleased with the outcome. There were a lot of technical changes that had to be made after the practice sessions with Andy concerning audio delays and such but they finally got a system up that pretty much ran perfectly with no audio delays. I think the best way to tell you what I know about the topics and interactions with the housewives is just a bulleted list from my notes. Otherwise I may read things in that were not actually said.

Eva and Cynthia both were fully aware that as usual the are the two that are on the bubble so they did not hold back at all. Also, since they were not speaking directly to the person, they had more of a backbone. The virtual reunion actually benefited them and gave them more courage. Also Source said, “Eva was exposed as an opportunist.” I have no idea what that means. Any guesses?

Nene and Eva. Nene called Eva a wannabe and said “Now you finally have your first house you think you can be a housewife, good luck paying your bills when you get fired.” Also, at one point,  Nene told Eva “I’m not Kevin McCall!”

Kenya and Nene did not need virtual courage.  As expected, these two dominated the reunion. Nene accused Kenya of not being legally married. Then, there was discussion about Nene’s on again off again relationship with Wendy Williams. Kenya was accused of leaking stories to the blogs. They all do that but the instance that Kenya was accused of was actually Nene Leakes. They argued about #Spitgate for the umpteenth time solving nothing. Nene is once again talking about not wanting to film with Kenya.

Porsha and Kenya are not longer on the same team. The truce is off. Kenya revealed that Porsha was plotting and scheming behind the scenes to get everyone to ice Nene out of filming. Porsha said Kenya, Cynthia and Kandi were plotting on everything. She accused Kenya of rehearsing specific potential arguments with Nene. Kenya was “acting as obnoxious as her season five antics.” Nene also ranted about the alliance between Kenya, Cynthia and Kandi. Eva is the new flip flopper between the two factions.

They Closed All The Gates

#Snakegate Truth Comes Out. Nene and Yovanna made up the entire thing to get put into more screen time. Nene walked away from filming multiple times. She claimed she was going to the bathroom. At one point while she was off camera, she was texting with Marlo. Marlo told Nene that Yovanna’s segment about #Snakegate was next. Nene stayed off camera for that entire segment. Production was PISSED.

The Cookie Lady Truth Comes Out. This was one of the main things that made my jaw drop. Cynthia Bailey was the mastermind of the whole thing! I certainly didn’t see that coming. Her good friend Kenya is allegedly the one that through Cynthia under the bus at the reunion. They were in on it together. This news probably keeps Cynthia alive for another season. Unless she quits and moves to LA.  I wonder if her November wedding will have to be pushed back due to the pandemic?  Tanya was there for the cookie lady stuff and not much else. #cookiegate

RHOA Reunion Tea

But Wait! There’s More!

Kandi and Nene feud. Kandi came in really hot for Nene. She was extremely pissed at Nene’s Youtube statements. At one point she told Nene to “shut the fuck up” and let her talk. Nene is extremely jealous that Kandi gets all kinds of gigs outside of RHOA. Including Bravo spinoffs, The Masked Singer, Chi, Ru Paul’s Drag Race, and more.  Which leads us to the next topic.

Nene’s Legal Threats

Nene and Lisa Bloom.  In other news that Nene didn’t want to talk about she was asked why she hired Lisa Bloom. There is a lot of inaccurate information on the Internet about why she did. First, no lawsuits have been filed. Nene suspects that the reasons she is not getting work is because someone is black balling her. So, she hired Lisa to determine and acquire evidence, facts and information about people trying to persuade Debmar-Mercury, BET Networks, Bravo Media and POP TV to bar Ms. Leakes from having appearances, series, and specials on their respective networks. The case was not to Bravo Media. It was to subpoena information to make a case about particular individual(s) who may have had a hand in “black balling” Nene.

I have a suspicion based on putting a few things together she thinks Kandi is keeping her from getting other roles. I think it is Nene who keeps herself from getting other roles. This is my opinion and not from the source directly.

Bravo thinks they have enough for a three part reunion. Marlo was not on screen for very long. And that’s the RHOA Reunion Tea!
EDITED BECAUSE I FORGOT TO SAY, These comments can be used for tonight’s Unseen moments or whatever as I will  not be recapping it.  And also, they HOPE that the reunion can start airing next Sunday.

UPDATE TWO This Secrets Revealed episode looks like it might be good so I AM going to recap it!

    Wait, Nene hired one of Harvey Weinstein’s lawyers? Seriously??!! Just when I thought Nene couldn’t stoop any lower…

    Also, I guess #Snakegate worked in that Yovanna finally became more than just “That Bitch from Clark”. But really, does Yovanna want to be remembered as “That Snake Everyone Argued Over?

    I totally agree with you regarding Nene, She doesn’t need anyone to black ball her, she’s her own worse enemy, Rumor has it that everybody ganged up on Nene. I usually do not like when people gang up on someone but Nene deserves it. I hope that they went in on her. Rumor has it that supposedly she walked away from the camera and she eventually came back. I guess we will see soon.

              I am about to open a bottle of wine I think. Which is a bad idea because tomorrow someone is possibly going to run an errand for me tomorrow and she will probably show up early. But my days and nights are backwards so this will be problematic. I tried to call her today to update the list as she suggested I do, and she sent me to voicemail so maybe she’s changed her mind.

    Nene wishes she had Kandi’s bank account. Kandi earned her money with talent and a good head for business. She didn’t spend extravagantly. She took her time and built her wealth. Nene’s a one note. Loud. There is nothing nuanced about her. If she tries to come across that way, it is glaringly inauthentic. If anybody can hold her to account, it is Kandi. So Cynthia Milquetoast started Cookiegate? Why? What did Tanya do to her? Just for a storyline? Why would you hurt someone like that? She should have empathy after being married to her thieving, cheating ex. I like Cynthia and prefer she stay above the BS. Porsha should never have aligned herself with Nene. It will end in tears. Again. Nene coming for Eva, too? Ha! Nene wishes she had Eva’s contract and looks. Eva is on her way up and Nene is on her way down and scared. I wonder how she can afford Lisa Bloom? Does Bravo pay her that much to afford that storefront, her house, her spending habits, her son’s baby mamas and legal fees? Greg’s health insurance premiums? So many questions about the questionable Miz Leakes.

      Bravo pays her $115K an episode. I gag every time I read that. Nene doesn’t support the entire gaggle of baby mommas. She has one grandbaby she likes and cares for. She’s told the rest of them to suck a bag of dicks.

      My source says that Bravo is furious with Nene for not filming the #Snakegate stuff and continuously “going to the bathroom” during filming. I find this odd because they weren’t that pissed when she attacked the producer. She actually got a raise. But she has managed to finally piss them off with this behavior.

      I’m not surprised Cynthia started cookie gate. If you pay attention to Cynthia, she often hides her part in stirring the sh*t. Kenya took a lot of heat for the cookie lady incident when she wasn’t the only orchestrator.

      I believe there was some truth about what Nene said about Cynthia and the other side to her. I don’t see it as a bad thing like Nene tried to make out to be. I just see it as Cynthia is messy too. (and I despise Nene btw).

    All I know is Nene is quick to say how unfair Bravo is to her but she is the one spilling reunion tea saying what questions they asked her and some other things that went on but nothing happens to her. Kandi says she can’t say much or she will get in trouble. Didn’t Cynthia ask her several times to tell her the truth about her being recorded but Nene refused but now after the reunion she has the nerve to send Cynthia the transcript. Have Mercy for all the wrong that has been done to her but no accountability for the wrong she does to others.

    Totally Team Porsha, this year. She seems to have blossomed into someone I’d enjoy as a friend. Funny and witty and not afraid to make a joke about her own crap.

    This has nothing to do with Reunion but I need a touch of support. Finally told next door neighbors we’ve had it with their parties almost every night. Bunch of cars over all the time. I’m not a busybody but I am primary caregiver to my 93 year old mother. We’re still in stay home/stay safe mode in my state until May 4 (at least.) And they’re fucking annoying, loud, and epitome of white trash. Tell me if I’m being too judgmental.

      I can’t because you’re not. Most communities have quiet hour laws on weeknights. Usually from 11pm until 7am. They need to respect those laws and also social distancing. You don’t need a virus incubator living next door to your 93 year old mother. Do they own the home or are they renters? You can find the property owners names in the property tax roles. I would send them a letter asking for their help in controlling the situation. If that fails, send a cease and desist. If you are in a complex, there are usually rules in the lease that this type of behavior will result in an eviction. Then install some security cams. Blink from Amazon are what we use, reasonably priced and they don’t charge a monthly fee. Their hi-res and sound quality are really good.

      What state are you in? They could be breaking the restrictions. In Calif., people are not supposed to be congregating. But the photos of the beaches over the weekend show people are not complying. I will be so pissed off if all the efforts and sacrifices by millions of people statewide — that SEEM TO BE WORKING — are undone by the selfish bastards.

    If Cynthia is behind the cookie lady nonsense, I would love to hear for myself that she is the main culprit. But, I find that kind of hard to believe, Cynthia is happy, very satisfied and very much into Mike, a well taken care of woman usually is not vindictive and jealous towards other women because their not going to waste their energy on being evil to another woman, their enjoying and to much into their happiness. The ATL cookie lady mess has all the signs of a miserable, jealous, frustrated, vindictive person women like Kenya aka Ken. Ken is so miserable that she wants to ruin anyone’s happiness, misery loves company, and Ken is miserable and has been since she appeared on ATL. Ken paid many man to pretend they were in a relationship, sad??.

      Our girl TT doesn’t just write shit like the above post because she and her gbf were on the phone coming up with bullshit theories on the cookie lady garbage. She’s telling you what happened.

      How do we know Cynthia is happy? Her man and daughter live in California. How is she fulfilled and taken care of exactly? Tanya is kind of what I would call a pure soul, almost undamaged, not caring about nonsense. I can’t describe it exactly but I do know that it can make a perfect target for an insecure, competitive person. Bravo teaches what it expects of these women. Don’t be shocked that Cynthia performed for them. For us.

      Going to watch the secrets revealed episode now and I bet you can see all of this tea right there now that TT gave us the info.

    Why do people not already know Cynthia is the one who brought the cookie lady. Kenya already told us. People said that Kenya threw Cynthia under the bus no she is tired of taking the fall. Cynthia started the dirt then hides her hand and was perfectly ok with Kenya taking the evil eye. Now granted Kenya took it tooooo far. I was pissed at her for that. The villain roll she wears it well you see how they put the talk with Yovanna and Porsha said that it was Kenya’s job to be the villain.

      Exactly, Kenya told us several episodes ago about Cynthia’s involvement. Plus Cynthia brought Kenya to meet the cookie lady so she could tell her story. If Cynthia is beyond the mess, why’d she do that then?

      Now is the perfect time for Cynthia to be thrown under the bus. If she’s on the chopping block and wants to stay, this is a good reason for production to keep her.

Fake Kenya lied about what the ATL cookie lady said, when the cookie lady showed up, she clarify what was said and what happened. Kenya repeatedly paid different men to say that they were in a relationship. Fake Kenya aka Ken lies about her fake booty and boob implants, Ken does have nice hair but she adds wigs to her hair to make it look fuller and longer, what is Ken real eye color. It’s soooo sad that Ken can’t even be true to herself, let alone anyone else. ????

    What does Nene hope to accomplish by hiring an attorney? It seems like a complete waste of time and money. The claim (if one is ever filed) is based purely on speculation. Discovery would be all over the place. Seems like her case (if a Complaint if eventually filed) would be dead on arrival.

Then Kandi appears in season 2 without NeNe vouching for her, because she didn’t need it and she already has fame, fortune and is successful outside of RHOA!!
    Nobody is blackballing NeNe ppl just choose not to work with her, she should NOT waste her coin on Lisa Bloom to figure that out!
