In place of tonight’s RHOA recap of the last part of the reunion, I’ve opted for a discussion post instead. Reunion recaps are just a bunch of transcribing the shrieking. Tonight will be about Yovanna coming on while Nene hides in the bathroom perhaps doing coke like Rinna likes to accuse people of? I dunno. I do know that she was on the phone with Marlo and did not return until after the Yovanna segment was over. It’s unclear if she will even be on tonight’s episode. But I know she did come back after Yovanna was gone. Yovanna appeared at the reunion for free. CRAZY LADY! She should’ve at least asked for the day rate. But SEE BELOW FOR THE EXCLUSIVE!On tonight’s final installment of the RHOA reunion, Andy Cohen will defend Nene in her absence. Not only that, but Andy Cohen is advocating on her behalf to network suits. He feels she shouldn’t be the punching bag for the cast season after season. He really wants to see someone else get put in the hot seat time and time again. You know like Kenya, his favorite punching bag. Seriously? The network is fed up with her antics. Does Andy not know how much she is paid? If I was getting paid six figures per episode, I think I would show up and just let everyone call me a prostitution whore or whatever they wanted. How hard is that? I get called worse here everyday. But she will get paid for tonight’s episode.
Also, they are still waiting on the networks orders of when and who to execute option pick-ups to. There is a new RHOA exec who is a wild card so who knows what and who she will try to rally the numbers for the execs to vote for.Everyone know that Cynthia planned her wedding for the end of next years filming. But it doesn’t sound like it was enough. When SOURCE said she didn’t get a pickup letter this is why. Now SOURCE is basically saying no one got one yet. But SOURCE is saying chances are slim to none. Her wedding is not enough to cover the $65k she makes per episode “while bring nothing to the show” according to SOURCE.SOURCE says “The new potential housewife the casting team found is an Atlanta based actress, I hear. She was slotted to replace Eva. However, Eva doesn’t even make $10k an episode. It would make more sense to eliminate Cynthia and free up more money for Nene’s and Kandi’s astronomical raises. Kenya is going to try and renegotiate because she was making $50,000 an episode when she left and they brought her back this season at $25,000.”
So it’s a waiting game of see what happens.Long story short: they have an replacement for Eva on deck, Cynthia is not worth her salary and thus if she comes back she will have either a reduced role or reduced pay rate or both.
Also if they can start filming by August first, the show will return next January. If not? Who knows? But our stupid governor has already opened the state so… it will probably happen. Also all of this was directly lifted from a convo with SOURCE.
So after all this, they may give Nene another raise? Are they that dead-set on setting money on fire?
If RHOC can finally ditch Vicki and Tamra, RHOA can ditch Nene.
Why should they ditch NeeNee
I quit watching because of Nene and I doubt that I am alone
You are not. I only do it so you don’t have to. I talked to SOURCE today because I was curious at the timing on the Page Six article. about Nene and her boyfriend of two years. This is not news. How ever there were a few more receipts than I have seen in the past. I felt like article was planted by someone trying to get Internet support for ditching Nene. My SOURCE seems to be Team Nene these says. SOURCE basically says all publicity is good publicity and if anything it will help ensure her peach (as if there was ever any hope we would get rid of her, which doesn’t seem possible unless the new RHOA producer has some sort of intelligence and common sense. ).
SIGH.
I quit watching twice because of her.
I agree!!!
And btw, I hate Zoom or Skype, I prefer to look how I think I look. Porsha looks horrible…and she really is pretty.
Porsha, has a beautiful soul, that’s why I love you.
Tanya and Porsha have a wonderful and happy spirit.
I agree too!!! I’m sick of NeNe’s antics. PLEASE, fire her already…..damn!!!!
Sorry I have no idea why it won;t let me make page breaks. I am off to bed.
She probably called Andy crying that this is all she has for her and her sick husband. Remember Wendy Williams alluded to some big secret that would make people more sympathetic to Nene if they knew. She’s probably playing that card with him.
well, that’s what happens when you spend all your money of feather boas, take out, and leasing expensive cars. wonder if her federal and state income taxes are paid up to date as well as her property taxes.it’s a short distance in time between april 15 and june 15 and july 15.
Maybe her hemorrhoids are back!
Nene is disgusting and toxic.
Kenya is as well.
Here’s the truth for all Nene despisers…the truth of the matter is there would have been NO SHOW if it weren’t for her…Kandi, Cynthia, and Eva banked their ENTIRE storyline on Nene. Kenya’s evil ass and her pitiful marriage can only carry her purpose but so far. Porsha making amends and standing up for Nene is what has made her likeable and relevant because no one believes or cares about her relationship with Dennis but her. Truth is Nene, bullseye on her back and all, make the show. Unless they decide to dump them all, it will not change anytime soon.
You are right about the nene haters.
I think she is smarter than people give her credit for. She wasn’t in every episode. So it was boring as shit.
She let kenya prove that kenya could not carry the season. Kenya is too mean spirited to be likeable. And she is not a good enough actress to play the abused wife.
So if anything nene only proved that she is still relevant to the show.
Yes she is very mean spirited, because all they talked about was NeNe. Wow!
The truth
NeNe didn’t have a problem when they were all over Kim’s ass on a reunion show. She is messy as hell….that is why she was of topic with everyone.
She needs to own it….but she won’t, doesn’t and can’t. She doesn’t want or like the heat, but quick to jump down somebody else’s throat. She ain’t special….if she can give it….which she does…..she should damn sure be able to take it.She just needs to be fired.
And so I believe Yovanna. NeNe is so quick to put everybody in their place. Why not Yovanna? Nope…..cause she knew Yovanna was gonna spill the truth. If she is/was so innocent….then she should have stayed and defended herself.
Kenya stayed and answered all the questions thrown at her. Girl, bye.
@Mim I totally agree with you. She can dish it but she can’t take it. When she is going off on someone and than that person turns it around “everybody is ganging up on her”. Girl, please. Also her behavior was so immature and unprofessional tonight that she shouldn’t be allowed to come back.
I never (and rarely will) defend Nene’s character. I enjoy her for entertainment purposes only. The difference between Nene and Kenya is Nene genuinely doesn’t know any better, whereas Kenya is very smart and CHOOSES to play the villain. I could respect that if she knew how to show a loveable side, but she doesn’t because she believes it’s all she’s good for in order to be relevant. She’ll never get a spinoff or a show of her own because villains only work well as level B characters. No one roots for villains and this season proved that. I only felt an ounce for her watching Marc degrade her this season…then she treated Tanya and Cynthia the way she did…nope, don’t feel bad for her at all. Nene, on the other hand, has redemptive qualities… she’s just too emotionally incapable of staying tapped into them to fully redeem herself. I’m still rooting for her though.
Well said, thank you
I’m almost with you on this one aside from the redeemable qualities for nene. Nene is the epitome Of ignorance – she does not know any better but thinks herself quite the opposite. Her ego has gotten in the way of any shred of self awareness. I guess she can have my pity if I think of it that way. Lol.
To me, Kenya is playing a role. Nene isn’t. The vile person we see is nene. We really don’t know who Kenya really is. We‘ve heard abt the kind things Kenya’s done off camera but will prolly never see it on camera. I don’t think Kenya has ever expressed interest in a spin-off has she? I guess they’d all like one.
Respectfully disagree. Nene’s hateful antics are stale and her ratchet pettiness is played out and far too dark. It’s just about unwatchable for me. More fun and light hearted shade would freshen up this franchise. Nene needs a time out and some intense therapy. Porsha is super entertaining with or (preferably) without Dennis. Jmho
I totally agree with you. I believe her fame has gone to her head. She was enjoyable at the beginning but now her behavior is too unbearable. She has so much hate and jealousy in her heart that she will never be happy with herself and for others. It says a lot when Ryan Murphy hasn’t rehired her for anything else. Self reflection and a humble pie is well needed.
I agree, someone stated NeNe doesn’t know any better. Well….NeNe is a grown ass woman. She might not have come from much, but she has been exposed to some of the better things in life. Truly, she knows better. She “chooses” not to DO better. I have no idea why she feels entitled. Well….when you are allowed to get away with things such as violence towards production among other things….saying she hopes an audience member gets raped by his/her Uber driver and people dismiss it…..well.
I wish Bravo would put her out to pasture with Vicki G along with her fake apologies.
Her time will come. It may not be when we want it or fast as we want it ……but it will come.
Girl I swear I just posted the exact same comment about Nene in another post…she used to be so likeable! It was disgusting the way she spit at Kenya and was through food at her, so unacceptable as a 52 yr old woman…No class! I love Kenya because she is so unbothered, calm, that is how you get under their skin.
Agreed. Nene has always been the loudest in the room and it seemed she didn’t like any new cast member. She always had to establish her dominance is how I took it. But she used to be funny too…she’s not been that Nene for a few years. Now her antics are stale and played out..
THANK YOU well said
So Nene going on WWHL saying I’m going to read all you b’s. Get your reads ready was okay. She can bully and be mean. But can’t take when it’s done to her. Kenya has been in the HOT SEAT more than once. But she never left set. She stood ten down. Unlike y’all hero ?
Nene ran when the going got tough. The executives would be stupid to keep dealing with this behavior. She basically gave them and Andy the middle finger.
Yup!!!
Nene said she is the show, so why shouldn’t the story lines be created around the HBIC of RHOA? I can’t wait until she kicks Porsha in her rear-end again. Nene is going to treat her the same way she has treated Cynthia over the years. When Porsha does anything that Nene doesn’t like, she it going to give her the Nene treatment. She don’t like Kenya or Kandi because they refuse to bow down.
Totally agree with you power.
Get rid of Nene so Getto trash. I do believe this will be my last RHOA can’t stand NeNe anymore.
Even though Cynthia doesn’t have much of a story line I can’t imagine the show without her. She’s the only voice of reason. And Nene is horrible and immature. I really don’t enjoy watching her anymore.
Is there any human being in the world who is interested in seeing what Nene is doing every day? There are housewives I don’t like, but their lives are at least interesting. Nene ain’t got nothing going on.
I’ve heard that the network is pissed at Nene for sending cease and desist letters to the cast before the reunion. I also heard that Andy isn’t a decision maker just one vote of many on casting and content direction. I think Eva will be back. Covid 19 has thrown a wrench in their scouting plans.
Thanks. I find Eva interesting. I would like to see her back next season. Unfortunately, some folks hyping Nene and Porsha. Both ladies are loud and obnoxious. The show doesn’t need Nene, the ladies are more open and engaging when Nene is not around. Nene is so draining with the foul insults on private parts. Nene is worst than kenya, character wise.
If NeNe is back next season, I will not watch. I didn’t watch for a lot of this season. The episodes I did watch I watched 2 weeks later so my view didn’t count.
NeNe did go far to make this show at the beginning. Hence, the opportunities she had — Celebrity Apprentice, Glee, Fashion Police (WORST MISCAST EVER), and Broadway. After her rape remark at her “comedy” show, she pretty much 86’d her own ratchet self.
This whole show, except Kandi, is boring. I was happy when Kenya came back, but I am just sick of fighting.
Agree….totally.
On second thought, there is ONE show with NeNe, I would love to watch, “NeNe Leakes: Behind Bars.” Or, “NeNe Leakes: Live From Inside the Betty Ford Center.”
Part 3 was boring as hell, without NeNe agree or disagree.
Porsha, I love you, has a good heart and spirit. I wish you all the best. Love your family.
Tanya, has a good heart like Porsha, Love you.
Lie in as Kenya playing the victim as usual. So mean spirited. Just evil. She is so rude, nasty attitude, she is just EVIL, with that Fake laugh. Not a fan! The Biggest Liar on the show for a story line.
Kandice does Not call Kenya on her bs, but her face expression say it all.
Cynitha, Kenya is Not a friend of yours, listen to Porsha.
Marlo, is a straight shooter, and they girls can’t take it. I love her.
Eve, she can be dismissed.
I disagree…..NeNe was not missed……at all. The show does not need her.
Where ever Vicki G. is….is where NeNe needs to go. Wasn’t a fan from day one and still not a fan of NeNe’s.
Yes! I totally agree with you!
Is that you Nene
Who is Kandice?
She’s on a show with Eve, apparently.
lol
Part 1 of the reunion was great. 2&3just kind of meandered and was unfocused and slow. I say keep Nene, Marlo, Kenya, and Porsha. Get rid of the rest,they are all boring and stale and replace with new folks.
Andy Cohen’s obsession with Kenya is disgusting at this point. Kenya deserves that raise, she was trending every episode and gave the best look, shade and reads at the reunion. They need to reduce Marlo’s pay, Porsha’s pay can remain the same or reduced because she is a pathological liar, Nene does not deserve a raise and if she gets one then Bravo and production are punks. Cynthia should also get a reduced rate in order to free up room for a new friend or two and new housewife.
TT please tell source we need more details. I thought Andy had no sway anymore, why is he so hypnotized by NeNe ? She must have something on him. Perhaps she saw him doing coke allegedly in WWHL like KG alleged. A mess. Did you watch Kandi’s SOI with Kenya TT ? It’s an entertaining and interesting watch.
Andy shares his opinion with the group that makes the decisions. But he is not a decision maker. Based on how much the HWs suck up to him, they must think his opinion is important. In the end it is up to the Bravo suits.
To me it doesn’t come across that Andy is obsessed with Kenya. If anything he is obsessed with Nene. He is always throwing shade at Kenya, part 2 he threw major shade at Kenya. He always lets Nene get away with murder. FYI, I am not a fan of either.
Nene won’t be back next season. Kandi said on her speak on it that Nene sent her a cease and desist after the reunion taped and made her remove any footage on her channel that has Nene. Bravo heard about this and then played the footage on the reunion and twice on WWHL. Even Andy showed how upset he was that she walked off then had the nerve to ring up, getting Lisa Bloom to take legal action against bravo didn’t help either. I could put money on that she won’t be back next season.
Sadly, she will be back. They are super pissed at her, but for some reason they think they can’t do the show without her. Unless something changes in the next week or two, she will be back, with a fucking RAISE.
TT, is there any truth in the rumours that Nenes lawsuit (Lisa Bloom stuff) was to do with the Yovanna and her husband sending recorded footage of Nene to True Productions? And Nene didn’t want that aired on the reunion so went the legal route? Sorry if I’m breaking a rule but I only trust your info.
No the Lisa Bloom stuff is about Nene’s feeling that someone is trying to keep her from working on other networks and essentially blackballing her. She just too dumb to get that it is her behavior that has her blackballed. Her recent behavior with Kandi makes me think she is so jealous of Kandi that she thinks Kandi is somehow blocking her opportunities. It’s all very delusional of Nene.
She is so delusional. Does she realise she blackballed herself? She was so lucky to get a Chance to work with Ryan Murphy as he recasts the same actors in all his projects, but she blew that, her comedy career she blew that. She is her own worst enemy and has no one to blame but herself.
I am just out done…..why…….just why???????????
I won’t be back either, if Nene does not return.
Never fear. She will be back. With a raise. Kandi is getting one too.
TMZ is reporting the opposite in regards to contracts. They allege the contracts went out after the reunion taped and Yovanna was promoted to a housewive. It dosent make a lot of sense. Since Kandi said yesterday on social media they haven’t noticed them who will return next season.
Yovanna is the source and she is greatly deluded. Pickup letters have not been sent. She has not received a contract. None of this is true. She wishes it was true, but it is not. No decisions have been made on anything yet.
I’m ready for Cynthia to go. She’s kind of pitiful. Nene wasn’t a good friend to her, but she was ride or die for Nene til Kenya took Nene’s place, and it was weird the way Kenya vied for that spot. Kenya was bothered back when Cynthia said she was “just getting to know Kenya” a few yrs ago. Then, she became besties w/Kenya and Kenya has been a straight up cunt to Cynthia. Eva doesn’t fit in. I would honestly like to see Phaedra back.
I agree with you 100%
The only thing I like about this reunion was the fact that Andy could mute them. When Kandi said, “well mute Nene So I CAN respond,” I was like we need this ability at EVERY reunion. He should have used it a few times with Kenya. Nene and Kenya are the same person. The only difference is Kenya is refined and waaay more calculated. All those years on the pageant circuitry, trained her well in the fine art of passive aggressive sabotagory (I just Jesse Jackson’d that word:-)
I likeTanya I hope they keep her. I love Eva the Diva but I’m over her on this show. Poor Cynthia. I like her but her inability to see the toxicity in people she calls friends is sad and difficult to watch. She’s like a 14 yro in a 53yros body.
They gotta spice this hot mess of Atlanta up and I don’t mean in a dark spirited, negative way either. Beverly Hills and NYC are doing well and Potomac is highly anticipated, so Atlanta is gonna have to clean house and make some changes next year, in regards to cast and storylines. I’m actually interested in Yovanna coming back next season and seeing what she can bring so we’ll see. I honestly don’t care who comes back at this point in regards to the main cast because it’s clear bravo would rather force year old storylines down our throats with Atlanta, rather than giving us something new.
Not sure if it’s the quarantine but I really liked all 3 parts of the Reunion, which is very weird since I’ve found I’m incapable of focusing on anything Zoom/Skype/Conference Calls. Kenya looked and conducted herself the best, with Eva a close second. Kandi looked off but her read of Leniethia was epic. I hope the suits win on the NeNe return/raise but like all corporate, who knows? The show was just fine without her and overlooking the unfairness, so was the Reunion. I would somewhat miss Cynthia, she’s always made good filler and is like a likeable old friend. I’d like Porsha to return just to continue to watch her unravel. Same with NeNe lol. Yovanna, Marlo and Tanya are FOH at most.
Thanks for the tea TT! As always.
Kenya looked so classy since she was the only one without the boobs hanging out. I do not understand why they keep Nene around. I just read through the comments….are the bots back???
I hate Nene, she is so disgusting. RHOA is better without her.
