Vanderpump Rules Reunion Tonight; Lisa Vanderpump Admits She’s Nervous About Jax Taylor And James Kennedy
The THREE-part Vanderpump Rules reunion kicks off tonight. Bravo asked each cast member what was going through their minds as they took the stage.
Lisa Vanderpump admitted she’s a little worried about James Kennedy and Jax Taylor, adding, “I hope that they keep it civilized … There is one person in particular that is so volatile I just, you know, don’t want them getting out of their seats. That is a factor as well … You know it is going to kick off at some point.”

Woe is Jax.
“Reunions are the worst for me,” whined the totally innocent, nothing-but-stellar friend, who never (ever) deserves to be in the hot seat. /sarcasm “But there’s nothing really anymore that I can’t handle. I’ve been through the ringer on all of the reunions.”
Stassi Schroeder shared, “This is the most not nervous I’ve ever been. Like how much worse can s*** get?”
“I’ve never done anything like this,” said an apprehensive Brittany Cartwright. “I’m nervous about being drilled over something.”
RELATED: Vanderpump Rules Reunion Schedule and Sneak Peek
Scheana Marie said she can’t wait for her in-need-of-a-sense-of-humor haters us to see how happy she and Mike Shay are now. “I can’t wait for everyone to see how amazing Shay is doing and how far we’ve come,” she gushed. “We are the happiest we’ve ever been!”
Tom Schwartz revealed that the eagerness to “settle some disagreements” of a few of his co-stars left him feeling anxious. “Honestly I was squirming going into the reunion,” he shared. “I know lots of people were chomping at the bit to settle some disagreements. There is always unfinished business and lingering resentment that gets vented in that arena.”
Part one of the Vanderpump Rules reunion will focus on James and Ariana Madix confronting Kristen Doute for this season’s Crazy by Kristen, Lala Kent bemoaning the difficulties of being the new girl, Jax, Schwartz, and Tom Sandoval dishing on their Vegas trip, and Shay opening up about his struggle with addiction, which came to “a surprising resolution with an unlikely source.”
Reality Tea will be live-tweeting the reunion, so be sure to join us on Twitter.

Big Brother Canada 4: Weekend #4 Recap
Need a rundown of this weekend’s Big Brother Canada 4 action? As always, we’ve got you covered! It’s been yet another eventful week in the house and there’s a lot to catch up so let’s jump right in.
Source: Global TV Canada
Please note that spoilers from the live feeds will be discussed below. If you do not wish to be spoiled, please do not continue reading on.
Shortly after the feeds came on, Loveita and Cassandra were arguing about their strained relationship. It was a very long discussion that went in circles for hours with them trading insults but ultimately agreeing that they are just different people but it doesn’t mean that they have to work against one another in the game. We’ll see how long that lasts.
As revealed on the show last night, Joel and Mitch were victorious in the Head of Household competition. And ultimately Joel was selected to be the reigning HoH for the week. Much of the house felt good about Joel and when things started it seemed as though Dallas’ side of the house might be in trouble.
Before Christine’s eviction, Dallas and Jared had a frank talk about where they stood and essentially made it clear that they were after one another with Kelsey and Raul on Jared’s side and Ramsey and Maddy alongside Dallas. It was clear from the get go that Joel was interested in targeting one of these two factions.
The option of nominating Tim was discussed by Joel and various groups as he felt uncomfortable with the way that Tim put him in a position with the vote between Christine and Cassandra with switching his vote last minute. Loveita agreed that he had been shady about his vote, and the possibility of nominating Tim as either a target or a pawn was mentioned. Joel and Tim spoke and he explained his actions, which seemed to satisfy Joel for the time being.
Loveita and Dallas were pushing for Joel to go after Raul, Kelsey, and Jared, while Mitch pushed for Dallas’ side to be targeted. Meanwhile, Jared was throwing Loveita under the bus trying to get her to be a potential nominee. But Joel and she have been very close and they have continued to be this week.
Prior to nominations, the Have Not competition took place and it was two teams: Cassandra, Jared, Kelsey, Raul, Tim, and Mitch versus Loveita, Nikki, Dallas, Maddy, Ramsey, and Philippe. The latter team was victorious and the losing team was able to grant Cassandra and Mitch freedom from being Have Nots, thus Jared, Kelsey, Time, and Raul are the Have Nots for the week.
After the Have Not competition, there were more discussions about nomination possibilities which ended with Joel ultimately determining that Jared’s side of the house was much tighter and formidable. Therefore, he nominated Kelsey and Raul for eviction.
Nominations set off lots of emotions including Kelsey breaking down and crying, as well as some arguments amongst those playing the middle with Philippe being in the middle of some discussions about a lack of trust that involved both Tim and Cassandra.
Loveita was also working on creating alliances to bring together the Maddy, Dallas, and Ramsey group with the Joel, Mitch, and Philippe/Nick group. She and Maddy discussed needing to work together and despite Maddy having some issues with Loveita they agreed that they need one another for numbers.
Philippe and Ramsey had an interesting discussion about the middle of the house having the power in and about who they trusted to protect them going forward and that Loveita would be useful to them both as they felt she’d keep them safe.
Loveita, never not in the limelight, took some heat for Joel’s nominations, as it was assumed that she was in his ear. Jared confronted her saying that it was disgusting, which caused her to breakdown and say that they were bullying her.
Ramsey, Dallas, and Jared were picked for the Power of Veto competition. Before it took place, Joel and Tim had a conversation in which Tim agreed to be a pawn if Joel needed to replace either Kelsey or Raul by the end of the Power of Veto ceremony.
Dallas once again won the Power of Veto but this week he did not toy with using it quite as much. He was forced to wear a cactus costume and there are other punishments that were a part of the competition as well. Apparently, Cassandra and Loveita had another argument during the course of the competition as well.
After the PoV, Dallas, Loveita and Joel had a discussion about working together with Maddy and Ramsey, although there were concerns especially coming from Ramsey, since he is aware that Maddy and Loveita have had some trust issues over the past two weeks.
Dallas had been pretty upfront that he did not plan on using the PoV this week. Although Joel considered the possibility of putting Tim up as a pawn. For some reason, Jared was never discussed as a possibility which I cannot comprehend and conversations immediately began about whether it was better to evict Kelsey or Raul this week.
Kelsey herself was considering asking to be sent home, and Jared has thought about the fact that his game might be better with her gone. However, there are quite a few houseguests that think keeping a showmance in the house as a distraction might be useful. There’s been much back and forth about what to do and it will continue to be the case until Thursday, as usual.
Dallas ended up not using the Power of Veto this morning as he had stated. After the ceremony, he and Philippe had an argument with Dallas claiming that the brothers were playing both sides and Dallas speculating that the brothers would become individual players eventually. They ultimately agreed not to gun for one another but some words were said.
Ultimately there’s sure to be a lot more waffling and drama as the week comes to a close. And with Arisa Cox pimping a fake double eviction, we’re not even sure what to expect on Thursday night!

Farrah Abraham Claims She’s “Surpassed” Kim Kardashian’s Career; Wants To Support All Women In Their Journey!
Farrah Abraham wants it known that she has “surpassed” Kim Kardashian and is the better reality TV/sex tape star! Apparently Farrah, with all her plastic, feels she’s more authentic than Kim, therefore this makes her like so much more uber successful.
Is Farrah referring to her success in sex tape or coochie mould sales? Invites to AVN awards as a non-porn star? Cause um… yay for her then!
“I do feel that I am happy, and I kind of feel like her family tries too much,” Farrah critiques.
CLICK THE CONTINUE READING BUTTON FOR MORE!
“It’s not so much about money,” the Teen Mom OG star clarifies. It’s about how Farrah is like so amazing and humble and self-made and… “I mean, I’m not here to talk about all the top lists that I’m on and all the amazing heights that I’m reaching, and we’re doing so well in ratings….” Farrah non-explains.
After spouting off all the ways she’s one-upped the Keeping Up With The Kardashian star’s career, Farrah then claims, “I don’t really like to compare. I don’t think that’s fair because our journeys are so different.”
Farrah takes issue with Khloe Kardashian recently making digs about her on Kocktails With Khloe. “They can say whatever they wish about me and take other people’s sides and be against me, but I’m not here to B.S. or lie or mess around.”
“I just want women to support each other,” sighs Farrah.
COSMO NAMES FARRAH THE INTERNET’S MOST INTERESTING!
However, as a woman supporting other women, Farrah still stands by her claims that her career is better than Kim’s. “I feel like when you just say what the truth is, you can’t really comment more than that,” she spouts to People.
“I’m very proud, and God’s blessed me with an amazing career,” Farrah adds. “It’s good to be me.” Is it?
Errrmm… I’m not one to ever defend a Kardashian, but how has it that Farrah has “surpassed” Kim exactly? I mean the Kardashians are loaded and have a super-successful reality TV dynasty and a multitude of products and apps. Plus, shockingly, they mingle with celebrities at high-profile events. As for Kim vs. Farrah in terms of personality, delusion, awful outfits, terrible “portfolios of literature”, phoniness, and negligent mothering, well, they are on level playing fields there!

Joe Giudice Isn’t Worried About Going To Prison: “It’s Not A Big Deal”
Joe Giudice certainly has a unique outlook on spending 41 months behind bars! The Real Housewives Of New Jersey star self-surrenders to prison this week at New Jersey’s Ft. Dix facility, but he’s not worrying about the time ‘away’, nor his life behind bars. Is he drunk?
“It’s not a big deal,” Joe shrugs.
CLICK THE CONTINUE READING BUTTON FOR MORE!
So is Joe concerned about coming face-to-face with hardened criminals? Or Apollo Nida? Of course not! “They tell me that the low security and the camp there are almost the same so it’s no big deal.”
Joe explains, “Anybody that’s in there is basically people that have already served a lot of time basically working their years to get out. So once you are there if you screw up there, then you go back to high security.” Let’s hope Joe doesn’t screw up!
Joe, who has admitted to struggling with alcohol abuse, is trying to see the positives in prison – after all Teresa Giudice discovered her inner-zen and future life’s purpose to teach yoga! Joe sees his time behind bars as an opportunity for “rehabilitation” – let’s hope he also means rehabbing his reasoning skills!
TERESA GIUDICE STANDING BY HER MAN WHILE HE’S LOCKED UP!
“I am not going to be able to drink for a while which is good because I don’t even know when it’s been since I haven’t had a drink,” Joe shares with People. “It’s been a long time. Definitely the whole year I definitely drank every day a couple bottles at night just to go to bed.”
Joe has been using alcohol to cope with the sudden loss of his father, his legal and financial battles, plus Teresa spending a year locked up.
Joe departs for Ft. Dix on Wednesday, March 23rd. After his release he also faces deportation since he’s not a US Citizen. Or possibly he’ll be greeted with a brand new Lexus with a bow on top?! #AmericanDream

Real Housewives Of Atlanta’s Cynthia Bailey Joins The Cast Of Sharknado 4 And Gets Candid About Her Marriage To Peter Thomas!
So, that Real Housewives of Atlanta reunion, huh? Kim Fields finally found her voice (although it’s likely too late for any hopes of a sophomore season for her–more on that in a second!), and Kenya Moore seems oblivious to the notion of hypocrisy. It was entertaining, to say the least, and Andy Cohen shared and received his fair share of shade.
Of course, one of the co-stars stayed above the fray (at least so far), but it’s probably because she’s got bigger fish to fry…literally. Move over, Kim Richards! There is a new housewife joining the most epic movie franchise in the history of mankind! After remaining relatively mum on the first installment of last night’s RHOA reunion, Cynthia Bailey is apparently saving her acting chops for more serious projects…like Sharknado 4. Yes, you read that correctly!
CLICK THE CONTINUE READING BUTTON FOR MORE!
According to the Wrap, Cynthia will be joining the most amazing trifecta of actors when she stars alongside Ian Ziering, Tara Reid, and David Hasselhoff on Syfy’s film brilliance. She will play a top-notch astrophysicist who works for Astro-X where the lead scientist is none other than Gary Busey. This just keeps getting better and better…
Cynthia recently stopped by Good Day LA to talk about the show, her marriage, and, of course, her eye wear. Sadly, there was no mention of Sharknado, but she probably wants to discuss that major milestone in prime time. Instead, she addressed the craziness that seems to follow around her RHOA counterparts. When asked if fighting ever occurred on the show (I’m still trying to figure out if he had never seen the show or was just making a joke), Cynthia replies, “We usually try to stay away from any physical altercations…but we haven’t been very good at that lately,” adding, “We’re talking about personal space.There’s a fine line. If you’re having a heated argument and someone decides to straddle over you, you know…you have to defend yourself.”
Responding to whether she gets along with everyone on the cast, Cynthia asserts, “This is an ensemble cast. There’s always drama. There’s always things we don’t want to talk about with things going on in our lives. There are definitely ladies I connect with more than others, and some of them I actually don’t like.”
One of the anchors who is proficient in Google questions whether there is truth to the rumors that Kim has already been fired and will be replaced by Stacy Dash of Clueless fame. Cynthia seems legitimately surprised by this piece of gossip and admits that Stacy would be an interesting addition given her very vocal political views.
As for Kim, Cynthia cites there is no manual for a newbie cast member, stating, “Reality TV isn’t for everyone…Everyone isn’t built for it.”
Discussing her tumultuous marriage to Peter Thomas, Cynthia doesn’t sugarcoat things. She admits, “When it comes to my marriage, right now today, in this moment, I don’t know what’s going to happen. Some days I feel like, you know, maybe we should move on, and other days, you know what, I think we should work on this,” revealing, “Today is a maybe we should move on day, to be honest. Tomorrow I may feel differently.”
Please. Who needs Peter when you could have the Hoff?

Real Housewives Of Atlanta Reunion Part 1: Say Somethin’!
Last night was part one of the Real Housewives Of Atlanta reunion. Phaedra Parks was most certainly on the hot seat. That must explain why her gown was bathed in golden embers! When Phaedra wasn’t being bathed in the fruits of her shade, Kenya Moore was being read for the filth by everyone – even Andy Cohen! And I have to say YES, Bravo, YES! Finally and thank you. It was time.
So it begins with the drama that never ends, it just goes on and on my friends… between Phaedra and Kenya. Phaedra is deemed the shadiest of them all, but some people aren’t appreciative of such witticisms. Like Kenya “Oatmeal Pie Face” Moore. She complains that Phaedra was “attacking” her looks, therefore putting down all women and their respective chocolate-ness.
CLICK THE CONTINUE READING BUTTON FOR MORE!
Perhaps Phaedra enjoys oatmeal cream pie and wasn’t necessarily insulting Kenya? Regardless, isn’t Kenya the very same woman who called Phaedra fat? I’d say that’s attacking her looks! Mirror, mirror – who’s the most delusional of them all!? Then, of course, Kenya fights fire with fire by attacking Phaedra’s looks again.
Kenya climbs up on her pageant soapbox, that mighty crowing weighing heavily on her psyche, to declare her own beauty as compared to Phaedra’s. “In my world, you wouldn’t even be my third runner up. You wouldn’t even be ON the stage where I stand,” decries Ms. WHO-S-A, (who has not stood on that stage in 20+ years but has apparently gotten confused about the passage of time. Perhaps it’s more of oatmeal pie for brains?). The only competition Kenya is winning these days is Miss Unreality (Hosted by The Bailey Agency at the Lennox Square Mall!)
Even Andy has had it with the absurdity coming from Team Twirl. “Do you think it’s different from the shade you throw?” he asks. And the answer is…. NO ANSWER. And let’s deflect some more!
Discussing Moore Hair Care and if it is really 100% water and snake oil, Kenya claims it will be be sold in CVS stores within the next 6 months. In the pet care department? Anyway, I’ll believe it when I see it (and I don’t believe I’ll be seeing it.).
Todd hops out for a few minutes to talk about Baby Ace and fatherhood. There’s a video of Todd sampling Kandi Burruss‘s breast milk from a bottle. He admits (at Andy’s urging), “It’s better from the tap.” EWWWWW – and we thought Kim Fields teasing about whether or not she’s wearing underwear was TMI! Atlanta and Class go together like oil and water – or Kenya and Porsha Williams!
Sheree Whitfield joins the group, but Andy quickly switches his affections to Kim. Poor Kim remains besieged by questions about whether or not she belongs on a show about ratchet harridans pretending to be well-behaved Jesus-lovin’ ladies. “I still don’t know if it’s a good fit,” she answers truthfully. But here she be, bravely trekking on, baring her life. No, she did not bring her kids with her (They were waiting in the next sound stage over. #Sarcasm).
Kenya obviously has no problem admitting that she doesn’t want Kim and her ‘arrogance’ back, she rambles on about how Kim is condescending. Interestingly, all the ladies agree that Kim doesn’t mesh: Phaedra says she doesn’t engage, Kandi thinks Kim tries too hard to avoid conflict, Porsha calls her “a little judgmental,” but like everyone’s favorite spinster aunt. Cynthia Bailey tactfully explains that Kim merely seemed “uncomfortable, more than judgmental.”
About the DC trip, Kim has no regrets about her lack of childcare since it was presented as a kids trip, and she came accordingly. I’ve never heard of a play date in a congresswoman’s office, but I don’t live Kim’s life. Sheree describes Kim as a hot mess, and judges her accordingly. Sheree does not judge Porsha for oozing all over Kairo like cougar saliva – instead she encourages Porsha to “put some money” in that poor struggling college kid’s account! The Eye Candy Account! Kandi is miffed that she wasn’t invited. Phaedra blames her advanced pregnancy.
Which is cue for Andy to hop onto the “roller coaster ride” of Kandi and Phaedra’s un-friendship. Kandi has no idea where they stand, but she believes they both want things to be better, but they have no idea how to get there.
Phaedra brought Kandi chicken salad after Ace was born and believes that makes it all good. Jesus fixed it – the chicken salad, that is. He made it with his own two hands (from heritage chickens from Noah’s Arc.). I love chicken salad – and Lord knows Kandi does, but I don’t think that and a few flowers are gonna fix months of arguments, misunderstandings, shit-talking each other’s spouses, and covert harboring of a felon’s belongings. Kandi does love chicken though…
So, despite Phaedra’s generous gesture, there are grievances to be aired. Phaedra does not get the same liberties as Mama Joyce and Kandi is furious about Phaedra going “all the way in” with the things she said about Todd and his career. “I am veeeerrrrry protective,” Kandi warns, with a shaking voice. Kandi insists she would never come for anyone’s spouse.
I generally agree that was totally uncalled for, however in this instance, Phaedra and Todd’s problems obviously go deep. It was beyond Phaedra being a catty bitch ‘Kenya-ing‘ Kandi by also disparaging her marriage. The issue is Apollo and Todd’s closeness. Which is honestly, in my opinion, the reason this friendship won’t be salvaged. Phaedra doesn’t have remorse for her statements, because she’s still livid over Kandi casting her aside to join Team Apollo.
Case in point: “I’ve apologized; I’ve tried to move forward,” defends Phaedra. “But then I found out about the stuff in her garage that I never knew about.” Kandi insists she wasn’t being “two-faced” – she assumed Phaedra knew (Cynthia Bailey echoes this). “He wasn’t trying to hide it,” Kandi argues in Apollo’s defense. I call BULLSHIT! Cynthia and Kandi BOTH knew Phaedra wasn’t aware. They were either directly complicit in keeping either Apollo’s secret, or keeping Apollo’s secret vis-a-vis their husbands. Phaedra clearly doesn’t believe them either, because she point-blank asks Kandi why it never came up if she wasn’t intentionally trying to conceal said information.
“We both said stuff about each other,” adds an emotional Phaedra. She complains that Kandi accused her of trying to get pity and sympathy for the Apollo mess. “The only people on this show who supported me through that tumultuous time were NeNe and Porsha,” seethes Phaedra.
Andy questions Phaedra about her video with Todd, and compares it to Phaedra demanding payment upfront from Sheree a few seasons back. Phaedra insists the agreement was always to pay in installments. Today, she can happily announce that Todd has all his money – even if she did only finish paying him last week! “That’s convenient,” mutters Kenya. What’s inconvenient is that Phaedra still hasn’t received a completed video and is now paying another company to re-edit. I’ve got an idea – since no one can even remember the last time Phaedra was pregnant, Todd should just photoshop Kandi’s head onto Phaedra’s body in the video and market it as “Burning The Kandi Off.”
Discussing Don Juan and the Kandi Koated Klique, Phaedra says she would never allow her employees behave so unprofessionally. Porsha complains that Don Juan took it way to the left by making personal attacks. Kandi defends him because he was defending Todd, which doesn’t fly with Phaedra, who reminds Kandi that Todd was running around talking “all this old mess” about her. Of course, the difference being, what Todd said happened to be true – Phaedra hadn’t paid Todd $30k! “You can discuss if it’s true, but if it’s not true, that’s when you can’t discuss it!” Boom – point goes to Kandi there. “If I go in and let have, it’s gonna be true!”
Andy, and everyone else, tires of Kandi and Phaedra arguing, so he brings it back to something we’re definitely NOT bored of: Kenya arguing with Porsha and Phaedra! Phaedra lays her head down in Porsha’s lap and feigns sleeping.
Kenya was definitely ready for a little attention brought back to whatever the hell was going on atop her head and started TEXTING during the reunion – Matt had a critical question about puppy food. “Matt can figure it out,” Andy snaps. Kenya repays the favor by making an distasteful gay joke about swallowing.
Finally moving it into new feuds for the new season, it’s time for “information vs. instigation” or Kenya vs. Kim (Round 2 of 25,000).
Of course, we have to take it way back to the beginning where Kim supposedly insulted the earth-shattering work of television genius Life Twirls Nowhere. Kim claims she praised Kenya’s talent as a comedic actress (don’t lie, Kim), because despite Kenya’s insistence that she was insulting the show, she wasn’t. Kenya cannot handle any constructive criticism! She snaps to Kim, “Don’t bite the hand that feeds you – I brought you into this group.” (Don’t lie – you are not getting a production credit for Real Housewives Of Atlanta and “I’m Kim Fields” is not hanging out with you unless in a paid professional capacity – and not even that.)
Kenya complains that Chris was critiquing LTO, even though she only gave to Kim to view. Andy points out how irrational this is. I love seeing him FINALLY take a stand with Krayonce. It is clear Kim is not having it – she has reached her limit and is not holding back. Parting gift? “Where’s she been all season?!” quips Sheree.
Apparently even though Kenya pretended to want Kim’s feedback – she didn’t need it being that their careers are on the same level. In fact, Kim has now groveled at Kenya’s feet by convincing her she’s worthy of RHOA. “I don’t think her career has been better than mine,” deludes Kenya.
With a straight face, Kenya says of Kim, “She’s on the stage that I’m the star of right now. She’s here coming for my part.” OK – seriously does she have any idea how insane she sounds? I’m legit concerned. The other women snicker. Are we considering Real Housewives Of Atlanta a career accomplishment? Mmmmkay, the bar for Kenya is super low. Like so low, Kenya’s puppies could jump over it. “I’ll let social media enjoy that soundbite,” Kim snarks. YES, Kim! Put that IQ on display, by not getting caught up in the messiness!
Finally we must discuss the ‘mercial. Kenya blames “Moore Manor” for missing the pitch meeting. When Andy questions her about “getting in Kim’s face” in Jamaica he compares her behavior to Porsha’s. Kenya does not see the similarities, but she does admit she was wrong and out of line. That apology sounded about as legit as NeNe’s hair.
Porsha points out Kenya’s habit of provoking people “You pushed [Kim] to her breaking point, you just happened not to get the reaction that you deserved,” snaps Porsha. Amen! Kim’s classiness level is as high as her hair! The higher the hair, the closer to God! Kim stopped herself from reacting in that moment and is thankful Chris was able to support her afterwards. Afterwards being the infamous ‘I’m Kim Fields!’ comment that Kenya is most betwirled into a tizzy over.
Cynthia is called out for not stopping Kenya’s rampage. She felt Kim could handle it until the chair incident, then she expressed to Kenya numerous times – on and off camera – that she was out of line. Andy reads a viewer question accusing Kenya of being jealous of Kim’s success. Kenya responds by insulting Kim, referring to her as a “child star,” then saying her career ended in the 90’s. Andy gloriously points out that Kenya is still proclaiming her victory as Miss USA, which happened around the time the US won the Revolutionary War. Kenya follows this ignorance of fact up by bragging about of her own success again and that she can pay her bills. Kandi makes a “Yeah f–king right!’ face. Oh the silent shade!
Kenya continues to rail against the impertinent arrogance of Kim believing she’s better than everyone, as illustrated by her “I”m Kim Fields!” comment. Andy and Kandi point out that Kenya just referred to herself the “star” of RHOA, so who’s arrogant?! Furthermore Kandi loved Kim’s”cocky moment,” and enjoyed seeing her “boss up!”
“It’s not arrogance when your resume adds up,” praises Phaedra. Kenya and Kim bicker go back and forth about arrogance vs. not arrogance. Finally Kim loses it over Kenya’s constant interrupting. Kenya whines that it’s her stage and her reunion and her show, so she can interrupt if she wants, especially since Kim isn’t her mommy (although she is slamming doors in her face and Kenya is projecting mighty much). Kim calls Kenya a child. Kim wants to make her points in peace. “We are bored,” sulks Kenya, but Andy interjects that he wants to hear Kim’s point. Kenya tries to interrupt again, so Kim gets all ‘Mean Mommy’ with clenched teeth and ‘this is your last warning’ finger. “Say something…” she hisses, in that ‘I dare you to test me’ tone. I am LIVING for Kim’s Boss-Up moment. Everyone else on the stage is to. Whose stage is it again, Kenya?!
Kim calls interrupting a form of bullying (really??). Kenya disputes this, rebutting that she knows bullying – she has been bullied by everyone on RHOA! We need a delusion intervention. Kenya is the worst ‘bully’ ON this show – she provokes, prevaricates, threatens, intimidates, lies, rages – anything to get her way – then cries and whines victim when questioned or confronted. “I can’t take it,” bemoans Sheree , collapsing onto Kandi’s shoulder. I cannot either. Time for She By SheBroke to rise-up and check some booooollshit!
TELL US – DID KENYA DESERVE TO A READING RAINBOW? WERE PHAEDRA’S COMMENTS ABOUT TODD OUT OF LINE?

Real Housewives Of Potomac Recap: All Shades Of Shade
After Ashley Darby’s husband Michael broke up the last night of their girls’ trip, lines have been drawn among the Real Housewives of Potomac ladies. Karen Huger threw the biggest most pointless fit of all, so it looks like she’ll be the one Ashley has to squash the beef with first. That is, until Karen sends her own protrusion-in-his-pants representative, hubby Raymond, to do her dirty work.
But first, Gizelle Bryant is at the “Skincare Chemist” – whatever that might be! – to discuss starting a makeup line. She says being a light skinned black woman doesn’t mean she can’t address the skincare needs of all African American women. Natasha, the specialist, suggests offering at least seven shades. Gizelle is well versed in shade, and can throw seven of them together in her sleep. In order to launch the line, she will need to gather a focus group, develop a name (Caramel Cutie? Just Buy It?), and brand her product. Gizelle ponders the idea of using the ladies as her focus group. Yes! Let’s go ahead and release the seven shades of hell all over that.

Katie Rost, meanwhile, is pretending to be clowning around with her three kids, nanny, and boyfriend Andrew, who comes bearing balloons. Which Katie will pop one by one, in a metaphor for the last vestiges of her dignity. Katie says Andrew has given her everything she wants – including in the sack – except for a ring. So, a sandwich of thanks is in order. As Katie attempts to throw a ham sammy together, she fills Andrew in on Gizelle grilling her about being on drugs. Andrew supports Katie 100%. And he wants that sandwich.
Being the poseur she is, Katie says she’s going to “postpone” her fundraiser. But when it does happen (like fetch), she’ll only be inviting people SHE likes. So, there! Harrummmmph. No one wanted to help poor Katie throw together her ratchet fundraiser in 3 weeks with no venue, no sponsors, and no coin. So she’ll show them! By not throwing it at all…? Her focus will now be on hosting DC Swimweek. Which seems fitting. Katie will also not be attending Gizelle’s little makeup group “thingie” as she says she has no time for her phony ass.
Speaking of phony asses! Karen Huger is lounging around in her living room waiting for her personal assistant Emy to brew up some Lipton Tea. They discuss Karen’s upcoming event, The O Gala, in memory of her late mother in law Odessa Huger, who had Alzheimer’s. Karen’s mother was just sadly diagnosed with early onset dementia as well, so the cause is near and dear to her heart. The event will raise money for awareness, and as Karen runs over the prep list with Emy, it seems like she (unlike Miss Rost) actually understands what she’s doing.
Raymond pops in to consult on the event, but the Black Bill Gates isn’t really feeling any of the musical options Emy suggests. He’s also not feeling the size of the event, which has ballooned out of control. Karen respects his wishes, and vows to stop the presses on future RSVPs. But she’s not uninviting anyone – although she’d like to. <cough, cough: Ashley>
At Gizelle’s makeup focus group, she’s prepping the food and drinks at a local venue. Assorted friends, stylists, and Ashley arrive first. Ashley asks Gizelle if she’s still upset with her over Michael crashing. Gizelle says it’s not about Michael; it’s about how Ashley handled it. “Ya’ll are not easy!” laments Ashley, but she’s willing to attempt a fix here.
Charrisse Jackson-Jordan and Karen arrive next, followed by Robyn Dixon. After Charrrrrrrriiiiissssse accepts apologies from Gizelle’s hairstylist, who dared to poke fun at her, then – gasp! – WALK UPSTAIRS at her crab boil, Gizelle launches into her pitch. She reflects on growing up light skinned – how it came with its own baggage of bullying and prejudices within her own black community. Because of her experiences, she wants to design a line of makeup that will offer every black woman – no matter their shade – a quality product. Robyn and Ashley are like “Preach!” as Gizelle pitches. They understand where she’s coming from. As the ladies rotate around makeup stations, they play along with trying on Gizelle’s shades.
Katie-the-no-show is elsewhere tonight co-hosting her swim event, which she deems “real work.” She’s introduced as an “international model” by the emcee before calling up the, um, current models to strut their stuff. Katie snarks that most models last only a season, whereas she had a decade long career. I don’t know if Katie is trying to beat out Karen in the award for Most Insufferable Windbag, but she’s definitely in the running for First!
Back at the makeup party, Ashley takes Karen aside to hash out their issues. Karen claims Ashley was a fab-u-luss host, but she didn’t appreciate Michael busting in. Ashley argues that Karen could have gone in her room and shut the door if she was so uncomfortable, and that her toddler tantrum was out of line. Boom! In the fashion of King Henry XIII, Karen suggests the men handle it from here. Ashley’s like, WTF!? Are they gonna have a duel!?
Sniping at Ashley that her immaturity is to blame, Karen refuses to hear reason. Gizelle is struck with drama migraine from all of this bickering, so she goes in to break it up. She tells Karen and Ashley to let the men deal with it and keep it moving. Okay, let’s pause here. What does the Black Bill Gates have to do with this AT ALL? Karen is taking her self-importance to a whole new level with this move.
In a much cooler, albeit confusing, household Robyn and her kinda-sorta-ex-husband Juan are putting together a storage bin from Home Depot. She laughs about her beach trip and the twin beds she shared with Gizelle, which made her nostalgic for the old days. When she and Juan were sleeping in twins? Alrighty then.
Juan jokes about back in the day when Robyn was just an unknown stalker at his games and they dished about their fave soap opera, Y & R, together. Little does Juan know that she was actually at his games stalking another dude, Robyn reflects. No matter! They found each other in the end.
Robyn and Juan walk down memory lane, talking about being the loves of each other’s lives. It’s obvious at this point that their relationship is far from over. Though they divorced because Juan cheated, he wants to move forward with her now. But Robyn isn’t ready to fully commit yet. If their on-screen chemistry tells the truth, these two seem definitely meant to be. It’s sweet, and I’m still 100% #TeamDixon! #FixItJesus!
In an effort to bring back the gilded age, Karen and Ashley have dragged their husbands out on a grown man confrontation play date…at the golf course. After a bit of fake small talk and swinging clubs, Raymond addresses the Aussie in question.
Michael asks what the problem is here? Raymond says he doesn’t expect a guy to intrude on a girls’ weekend, especially because the girls (can we please stop calling them “girls” now!?) might be walking around in “skimpy outfits” and showing their lady bits. Michael and Ashley literally try their best not to bust out laughing as Ray insinuates that Michael – or, let’s be real: ANYONE – would relish the sight of Karen Huger tiptoeing around in a g-string.
Michael still doesn’t see the issue here, laughing it off in the end. The group disbands to continue golfing, while Ashley ponders whether Lady Huger has taken her meds today. For her part, Karen is pleased as punch with how Ray “took it to Michael,” though doesn’t seem to grasp the fact that Ashley and Michael are basically laughing their asses off at these two caricatures of social propriety in the next golf cart over. Michael does agree to shake hands with Raymond in the end, and Ashley is (kind of) back in Karen’s good graces. For the moment.
Over at Charrisse’s house, her kids are hanging by the pool while she ponders turning 50, and learning how to swim. She prays on the edge of the pool, then hops in the shallow end to practice her kicks. Having almost drowned before, she’s scared. But this is the new Charrisse! And she’s ready to take life by the balls. Tackling her fear of swimming: step one. Finding out where her man is: step two.
Shopping for flowers for her Alzheimer’s event, Karen and Emy consult with a florist about cherry blossoms. Which are not available except in the spring. Because…duh? Does this lady not live in the DC area? Seems like common knowledge is not Karen’s forte. She settles for another choice, as long as it’s big and dramatic and over the top. Just like her!
Fast forward to the day of Karen’s O Gala, which has turned into the low key event that Raymond demanded suggested. As guests arrive, Karen mingles with the unwashed hordes, including Katie and Andrew. Katie snarks that a living room cocktail party does NOT a gala make, and can’t believe this is what prevented Karen from helping her with her fundraiser. Hmmm. Perhaps a clue is suddenly dawning on Katie of this simple fact: No one wanted to help her, regardless of their “other” side projects. Oh, grasshopper. The delusion is strong with this one.
Gizelle calls Katie out immediately for being a no-show at her makeup event, but Katie doesn’t care about Gizelle’s makeup. Or Gizelle. After Robyn arrives, Karen tells her and Gizelle all about Raymond’s golf-duel with Michael. Gizelle is pleased with this news, only wishing she’d been there to see it. Spoiler alert, Gizelle: it wasn’t all that.
As Karen and Raymond make their speech, the doorbell repeatedly DING-DONGS in their ears. Robyn is cracking up at this faux-pas, which comes to us courtesy of Ashley and Michael showing up late. Lady Huger is not pleased.
Once inside, Ashley sets the record straight with Charrisse and Gizelle about what really went down at golf. Ray didn’t really give Michael the bizzzzzness as much as Michael just laughed in his face. Gizelle’s interest is piqued as Ashley continues on her snark train, noting how nice Karen’s hair looks…tonight. “It’s been slipping a bit,” she shades, but seems to be at least passable for this event. Gizelle smiles, “That’s not niiiiice.” But she is actually loving this seven shades of Ashley that she’s seeing.
Stirring the pot to a rolling boil, Ashley then tells Gizelle, Charrisse, and Robyn how Karen is keeping her daughter away from them because they’re a bad influence. We flashback to Karen telling Ashley on their drive to Bethany Beach how “teenagers are off limits” for her because they don’t need any outside influences shaping them.
Now whether that translates to Karen simply not wanting these women to interact with her daughter on TV, or whether she doesn’t want them around her period is unclear. I’d guess the former. But Ashley is not here to analyze nuance. She is here to WIN! So she riles the group up about their unfit selves.
Karen sidles over to see what this coven of witches is brewing. When Robyn asks whether Karen said she doesn’t want them around her daughter, Karen denies it outright. She clarifies to Ashley: she doesn’t want her daughter hanging around with HER, specifically. And with that, she says she’s gonna button this up. “I’m done with you,” she tells Ashley. “Goodnight!”
Incredulous, Ashley is left wondering what Karen’s many, many problems are. The ladies all gather their purses and try to slink out, but not before Charrisse encourages Ashley to apologize to Karen. Ashley instead finds Michael, wondering if she pushed a little too hard? She leaves without apology.
Meanwhile, Karen reiterates to the remaining ladies that she never said her daughter was not allowed to mingle with them. Just Ashley. And now that Ashley is claiming otherwise, she wonders if she has an agenda? Whatever the case may be, Karen ends the rant with the most beloved empty threat all Housewives love best: “I’m done!”
We’ll see about that.
TELL US: DOES ASHLEY HAVE AN AGENDA WHEN IT COMES TO KAREN? SHOULD KAREN HAVE GOTTEN RAYMOND INVOLVED IN HER BEEF WITH ASHLEY? WHAT DO YOU THINK OF GIZELLE’S MAKEUP LINE CONCEPT?
