Am I the only one who loves Kristen Doute this season on Vanderpump Rules? She has calmed down, but not too much to the point where she’s boring. I assume a lot of that has to do with her relationship with Brian Carter who I wish was a bigger part of the show. Even though she is (relatively) reformed from her previous Crazy Kristen persona, Kristen is still very open when it comes to talking about Pump Rules.
Kristen addresses those mean girl accusations about Katie Maloney and Stassi Schroeder against Scheana Marie Shay. She defends Katie against the Tequila Katie alter ego. And believe it or not, she says some good things about Tom Sandoval’s relationship with Ariana Madix. Then she called out Ariana for being fake and shit on Sandoval‘s jokes during Jax Taylor’s roast.

Kristen and Carter talked all things Vanderpump Rules in an amazingly dishy interview on the Pump Rules Podcast.
Kristen calls out Scheana for playing a victim. Kristen explained how she felt slighted during a recent episode when Scheana confided in Ariana. “It hurt my feelings when she was at Tom Sandoval‘s birthday party and they did that split screen. She said that Ariana was the only one who had been there for her and Shay and mine and Carter’s jaws dropped to the floor. I thought Carter and I were the only ones there for you to be honest.”

It didn’t seem like Scheana and Ariana were super close at that point when the episode aired, so I was caught off guard too.
Not only did Kristen and Carter reveal that they went on a couples vacation together and were really close with Scheana and Mike Shay over the summer, Carter even shared that Kristen grocery shopped and cooked for Scheana right after the split was announced. Say what you want about Kristen, but she does seem like the best friend in this cast. You know, minus the sleeping with Jax while he was dating Stassi thing.
But anyway, Kristen said, “In the summer time when she was saying this stuff – when I saw her on TV saying to Ariana that no one was there for her and that Katie, Stassi, and I are this like evil trio or some shit – the thing with Scheana is that we tried. For Scheana to say that we didn’t try, it’s just like no – we tried to the point where we couldn’t give everyone else in our lives attention. And there’s a point where you get to when you’re like enough is enough. That’s how I feel.”
One of the podcast hosts mentioned that Scheana was playing the victim card and Kristen hilariously responded by saying, “I used to pull that shit and no one allowed me to do it. I tried to do that in Season 2 when Sandoval and I were on the rocks and about to break up and Katie and Stassi dropped me.”
And this is why I love Kristen. She may do messed up stuff, but she always owns it.
Kristen had even more to say about Scheana‘s constantly shifting views of the clique. “Stop changing your ‘best friends’ like you change your damn underwear. It’s fine. I have a lot of great friends, it’s not like one person ‘trumps the other’ if you will.”
Kristen talked about a discussion she had with Scheana and recalled that she said, “You post all these photos with Ariana and Brittany [Cartwright] and you never back up any of us [like] when Stassi had a really bad time a few weeks back, she was posting some stuff on Twitter. You never support me, Katie, or Stassi, but you’re always asking for our support and it really hurts my feelings.”
Kristen also had a very interesting interpretation of Scheana‘s issues as a bridesmaid during Katie‘s wedding events, like when she complained to Katie about the cost of the bridal shower. Kristen came out guns blazing: “I think you’re mad that Katie‘s engagement and marriage was a ‘bigger deal’ than yours was, but you jumped the gun.”
Kristen theorized, “She did it on an earlier season. Our show is more popular on a later season, so Katie‘s engagement/marriage is more popular. Maybe she’s jealous or angry about it, but Katie and Tom didn’t do it for the f–king show. They’ve been together for six years.” Plus, Schwartz is a cast member on the show and Shay just appeared here and there, so obviously this was going to get more screen time.

Another person associated with being a “victim” of the mean girls trio is Lala Kent – Pump Rules enemy number one at this point. Kristen made it clear that the squad is very “no new friends” when she admitted, “You try to own this show that you’ve been on for five seconds that we’ve worked so hard on – so so hard.”
The podcast host cut in and said, “You guys bleed out for it,” and Kristen agreed by saying, “Every one of us.”
Then Kristen got in a dig at Ariana (of course). “I think the original six plus Schwartz – because Schwartz wasn’t really given a credit Season 1, but he worked just as hard as we did. I think Ariana was a damn coward for not joining when she knew why she didn’t want to join, but I’ll even hand it to her the last couple of seasons. She still puts in the work. I don’t think she’s very real all the time as much as the rest of us, but she does put in the work. So I’ll hand it to every one of us that does put in the work.”
I’m sure it’s exhausting to be “on” in front of the cameras all the time, but aren’t they just (supposedly) living their lives? I ask while trying not to laugh.
Kristen followed that up by making this very surprising comment about Ariana and Tom‘s relationship: “They’re super happy now. I believe that they are meant to be.” And in all honesty it seemed like a very sincere compliment from Kristen.
As much as everyone in the cast gets off on hating Lala, the person who seems to be taking the biggest hit from the fans this season is Katie. Everyone has something to say about Katie, from her wedding planning antics to her new role as the clique leader to her infamously brutal drunk texts. Some people are even saying that Katie has a drinking problem. Kristen immediately dismissed those claims about Katie and actually got a dig in at Tom Schwartz when she said, “This whole Tequila Katie shit. This summer was the summer of Tequila Tom. I can’t wait for when New Orleans airs.”
Kristen also stated, “Don’t get me started. Katie does not have a drinking problem. Katie has a problem when she gets really drunk, as well as I do, as well as Stassi does, as well as Scheana does, as well as Brittany, Jax, Tom Schwartz, Sandoval. Katie drinks far less than eighty percent of the cast.”
Yeah, but everyone else is usually nicer and more entertaining when they’re wasted. Still, I see her point. I don’t actually think Katie is an alcoholic, but she should probably be stay away from drinking when she’s feeling emotional. Kristen explained, “If she’s upset about something prior to drinking and she drinks, she sometimes gets more upset which happens to a lot of us.”
Kristen addressed her boyfriend Carter when she said, “I know you feel like Katie is a mean drunk, but she doesn’t have a drinking problem.” Carter said, “She’s not nice” and I could not help laughing out loud. Carter also said, “I wouldn’t say she’s an alcoholic.” Kristen justified Katie’s antics by saying, “Katie just gets fixated and stubborn, that’s really what it is. It has nothing to do with alcohol.”
Kristen tackled the perception that Katie has recently “found her voice” and has changed significantly since the show first started. “In seasons one and two, I feel like she was silenced by producers or editors or whatever it was. Maybe there were just stronger story lines, but they always made Katie look like this side piece, like Stassi‘s minion, her puppet. It blew my mind because Katie and I had the same haircut so Katie and I were like Stassi’s two little minions and I’m just like Katie is not silent or short of opinions. She didn’t just like suddenly gain an opinion.”
Unfortunately for Katie, the editing is not in her favor this season and the fans are not responding well to that at all.
Onto a relatively lighter topic, Kristen discussed the roast that she hosted for Jax‘s birthday, which was my favorite episode of the season. I wish that the roast was available to watch in its entirety. I know that were some good gems in there. Kristen (who was pretty hilarious from what I saw) admitted, “I had some writers, I’m not gonna lie.”
RELATED: Tom Sandoval Calls Out Jax Taylor’s Drug Use
About the roast, Kristen also said that Stassi was funny and surprisingly enough gave Ariana some credit for being funny. Still, she didn’t pass up the chance to shit on Sandoval. Kristen said, “Everyone was really funny except for Tom Sandoval and Tom Schwartz: they came really hard for Jax.”
Isn’t that the point of a roast? Apparently Kristen‘s issue wasn’t solely based on the content. What she really had a problem with was what she perceived to be a lack of creativity.
Kristen explained, “What I was yelling at Sandoval about was when you’re talking about cocaine, just be creative. There’s a way to be creative without being hurtful. I think Tom and Tom failed in my opinion. It was so basic to go there. Not creative at all.” Well, at least the parts about coke didn’t make the show, but that is exactly the kind of extra content that I would LOVE to see.

The arrival of Eden Sassoon on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills was the best thing to happen to Dorit Kemsley. It seemed like Dorit was the designated villain of the season until Eden decided to question Kim Richards about her sobriety…and it looks like that’s all thanks to instigation from Lisa Rinna and Dorit believe the hype- as do I.
It really seemed like Eden was way out of line with questioning Kim’s sobriety and saying Kyle Richards enables her when they all JUST MET, but it would make sense since Lisa Rinna told her that Kim is “close to death.” So now it seems like Rinna is the real villain this year and Dorit has a lot to say about it.

Aside from comparing her behavior to Rinna and Eden’s recent antics, I have to admit that I am actually starting to like Dorit. And at the very least, her children are darling. In her Bravo blog, Dorit opened up about the sweetest moment of the episode: “After six months of speech therapy, Jagger was starting to use his words and have better engagement with us. We always try to be optimistic and hopeful for what’s to come with his progress. It’s especially adorable when he keeps pointing ‘I LOVE YOU’ to his little sister- he’s already an amazing big brother and I couldn’t be more proud of him. Our time together as a family means everything to both PK and I.”
The episode wasn’t just full of cute family moments though. The cast went to Mexico for the first group trip of the season. Dorit discussed her thoughts about her first cast vacation: “I haven’t gone out of the country with the ladies before so I knew this would be an interesting journey but I was SO happy that PK was with me.” Like most of the viewers, I’m not a fan of PK Kemsley, but I don’t blame Dorit for wanting an ally. These Real Housewives trips can get ROUGH.
Surprisingly enough, Dorit actually admitted that she was happy that Erika Girardi made the trip. Dorit revealed, “I knew that Erika was coming by herself and I was looking forward to spending some quality time and talk with her- we did just that and we had a lot of fun. We laughed a lot, had some really nice conversations and overall good vibes those first two days.” I actually noticed that too…but then snapped back to reality when I saw these two going at it in the teaser for the rest of the season that came on after the episode ended. And I’m sure Rinna was very relieved to see Dorit and Erika going at it to get the heat away from her bullshit.
The episode started to turn up when they were discussing the idea of Rinna feeding information to Eden which instigated her constant attacks on Kim’s sobriety and her relationship with Kyle. Dorit explained her mindset when the discussion turned to Rinna’s shadiness: “At first, I was in shock at what I was hearing. Here we are, all of us having fun together and then we hear what Lisa R. said about Kim. It wasn’t nice to hear.” Yeah not at all. Not only was it far from nice, but it just also seems stupid for Rinna to turn her story line to be all about Kim for the third season in a row. It’s never been appealing and it isn’t now. And I can’t help wondering why Kim doesn’t get a cut of Rinna’s paycheck since she seems to be Rinna’s favorite topic of conversation.
Dorit revealed, “I wanted to be fair and give her the benefit of the doubt, but deep down I felt it was more likely that she did say it.” Obviously Dorit can’t watch all the scenes before discussing this with the cast at the table, but clearly Dorit’s instincts were spot on with this situation.
Dorit also said, “I did have a lovely time with her and Eden at Eden’s house for smoothie night. In fact, my mention of when Rinna pulled out her bag of pills during smoothie night was to highlight what fun we had together and the barrel of laughs we shared together. ‘We bonded over xanax and smoothies’ – we had fun.”
No one believes that, Dorit. I don’t know if this is your “British sense of humor” or whatever else you want to use to excuse your shit stirring, but there is no chance in hell that Dorit casually mentioned Rinna’s bag of pills in a positive manner. Even if Dorit did have fun with Rinna that day, mentioning it was definitely stirring the pot.
Jumping back to the most recent episode, Dorit said, “My main concern was Kyle though. None of us wanted this trip to be ruined for her and Mauricio [Umansky] so it was a priority for me to make sure she still enjoyed herself. Well, until next week my darlings…” Yeah, it definitely looks like Kyle “enjoyed herself” when Rinna showed up in Mexico and she had to confront her.

Another season of The Bachelor is winding down, which means it's time to start thinking about what comes next. Or rather, it's time to start thinking about who will be the next...Well the ladies of Real Housewives Of Atlanta tried to tame the wild beast of Marlo Hampton‘s gossip-trapping, but instead Sheree Whitfield wound up carrying her bones while Marlo turned their weaves into a cape.
Last night we learned a few important lessons, mostly that we should never ever let the Real Housewives of any ilk attempt the outdoors. Like nice try Phaedra Parks, but just like your maxi dress, the Real Housewives aren’t a right fit for tents.
Getting out of Atlanta is itself a travail after Porsha Williams has surprise invited her sister Lauren to act as a human security blanket against Porsha’s highly tuned rage. While Porsha and Kenya Moore argue about the merits of their communication styles, Prophet Parks interjects commanding them to STOP and to remember they are all strong personalities who act out. Constantly.

Marlo may have brought a bedazzled bottle of OFF! to the woods, but Phaedra had her bug spray laced with holy water. Hopefully holy water won’t give Sheree a yeast infection.
Lauren isn’t the only surprise – when they arrive at the camp grounds the ladies are forced to whisk by the luxury-ish looking cabins as Phaedra escorts them deep into the woods for a jamboree and tent revival.
I really don’t know why everyone was making such a big deal about Lauren’s unannounced presence when Kandi Burruss brought that very sweet, but mute girl, and Sheree had Megaphone Marlo in her hip-pocket. It seems like Lauren can at least keep them safe from P.Hulk which, with all these ladies concerned about Porsha’s violent tendencies, would be a good thing? Anyway, because there are so many uninvited guests, some of the ladies are forced to share cabins and tents. Marlo quickly puts it out there that she has gas and IBS which, shockingly, is her least toxic attribute.
Before trooping into the great unknown, Sheree and Marlo plot a coup. They decide to direct the ‘flow’ of Marlo’s proposed “Ask Marlo” summit to discuss rumors, circulating by some of the frienemies, that Kandi is a down-low lesbian. Of course immediately after Sheree gives Marlo this information she clams up and pretends she shouldn’t have said anything, and insists Marlo not bring it up.
Sheree is beyond messy. She is a damn vacuum cleaner bag that’s exploded, leaving all the leftover dust and remnants of filth clinging to everything. Is she really that hard-up for cash to furnish Chateau Sheree that she’s conspiring with Marlo to sift drama from dry spells? ‘Pparently so.
RELATED – Who’s Returning To Haunt RHOA?!
After Phaedra escorts the group into the woods, she announces that in order to earn sleep they must erect their own tents – and these are not the type of tents generally frequented by the ladies of Atlanta! Seriously – Prophet Phaedra would make an effective cult leader: she’s exceptional at getting people to do her bidding while she sips on the wine, she is capable of convincing these women to abandon civilization for her causes, she mystifies them with her Jesus sermons and backhanded compliments, and she’s rather good at the whole deprivation strategy.
There’s supposed to be a camp employee to help pitch the tents, but Phaedra kept calling him Stephen, when his name was Jason, so I’m assuming he punished them by playing Candy Crush as they stumbled over poles in the dark. Phaedra rather adeptly erected her own tent, and miraculously managed to keep her strapless maxi dress up in the process. Seriously – THAT was her outdoor attire? Only Marlo’s sheer mesh jumpsuit and Louboutins made less sense!
Two hours later, all the tents are finally up and the exhausted, grouchy, and food-deprived women are allowed only a few marshmallows as sustenance. Ravenous, they feast on each other. Or rather MARLO attempts to feast on Kenya. It was predicated by Kenya asking Sheree, the preeminent expert, for help inflating her air mattress. In response Sheree suggested roasting Kenya’s booty over the open fire, and Marlo was more than eager to play the chef.
Those two former friends of convenience started to go at each other until Marlo issued the ultimate low-blow by announcing that Kenya’s own mother doesn’t want anything to do with her because she’s so evil. Yeah, gross. And super wrong.
Kenya retaliated by calling Marlo a prostitute. Until finally Prophet Phaedra interjected to issue a decree that as women they need not go so heinous, and that it’s irrelevant how Marlo earns her money so long as she turns all her worldly assets over to the cult coffers – including the bedazzled flashlight and illuminating style advice on the trendiness of cameltoe. Marlo and Kenya both offer insincere apologies with Marlo blaming her negative comments on hurt that Kenya rejecting their friendship.
Then the ladies finally crawl into their tents for sleep. Except for Rogue Marlo, who at 3 am abandons the group, smuggling her bedazzled flashlight out with her. Literally, wearing only her platform sneakers and mesh jumpsuit, she walked down the dark road to the cabins. The next morning, Phaedra, no stranger to the delights of air mattresses, slept like a baby – maxi dress in tact, where as Cynthia Bailey barely slept at all. That’s when they discover Marlo is missing. Far from Kenya’s hope that a bear absconded with her, Marlo is merely back at the cabins freshly rested in a pair of cameltoe consuming hot pants and bedazzled shades.
Over brunch the topic of conversation is the status of Phaedra’s divorce. Kandi tries to shadily call Phaedra out on a so-called law that if one of the parties goes to prison the divorce will be finalized in 60 days, which she doesn’t reveal was information gleaned from Mama Joyce‘s stalking. Both Phaedra and Porsha insist that it’s not always the case. I looked it up, actually, out of curiosity: first of all it doesn’t apply to FEDERAL cases, only state; secondly, it mainly applies to situations where the defendant has committed a crime against his or her spouse, or a crime of extreme immorality. And it often only applies to the dissolving of the legal marriage, not property rights or other assets. Phaedra, however, is here to remind us that unlike Kandi and Mama Joyce she has attended law school. Although I’m not sure She By SheSued would give her a recommendation!
But the inquisition of Phaedra’s marital state is interrupted by Cynthia crying over her own nearly finalized divorce. She is bereft that Peter didn’t even bother to show up to sign paperwork which she was going to use as “closure.” I thought crashing Club One was her closure? All the ladies leap up to console her that she is fabulous and fierce, and therefore will be fine.
RELATED – The Worst Real Househusbands!
Then Kenya, Phaedra’s lead apostle in charge of outdoor affairs, takes control of the proceedings and announces a day of fun-filled bonding activities. Starting with kayaking and paddle boating. Kenya plunks Porsha down into a single-person kayak as the first victim, and shoves her off the dock while wishing her good luck in the currents, then ignores Porsha’s cries that her lifejacket isn’t secure.
Next Kounselor Krayonce turns her attentions to Sheree and yanks her into a leaky-bottomed paddleboat with Cynthia and Phaedra. You would have thought Kenya threw Sheree onto the sinking Titanic by the way she overreacted to a little lake water touching her cooch, which I am positive has been bathed in worse! Maybe Kenya assumed Phaedra and Cynthia could walk on water?
Sheree is scared the lake water has pee in it and will cause yeast infections. Then she throws a right fit over bugs. Despite Phaedra’s promises of a baptism, as soon as the lake water touches Sheree’s pants and shoes, she leaps out of the boat. Did she think there were sharks in there? I mean real sharks, not Real Housewives sharks.
After boating, the ladies are escorted to a 100 foot tower and told they have to climb up, then strap on a harness, to free fall down. Cynthia refuses to even climb the steps. But the rest of the group boldly soldiers on, following behind their fearless leader Kenya. At the top Kenya defies her fear of heights, and the advice of her attorney Phaedra, by bravely leaping off the tower to her destiny below. Phaedra, meanwhile, demures that if Jesus wanted her to fly he’d have given her wings, but instead he has given her a prodigious mind for which to combat the devil below and a prodigious booty to cushion any falls into temptation. And Lord knows she’s had enough of those, so she simply turns and walks down the steps leaving Porsha at the top to hyperventilate and pray for safe delivery.
After Porsha is practically thrown from the top she cries/laughs that she survived the fall, and all the women consider it a successful day of bonding. That night Kenya hosts a dinner with all the luxury one can muster from plastic cutlery, aluminum foil, hot dogs, and battery-operated lanterns. I actually thought it was really cute.
As the ladies arrive one by one, it dawned on them that this was no spiritual epiphany happening, but something far more sinister emerging from the dark, festooned with the freshly-skinned fur of a bear. That something was Marlo. On a trapping mission.
As the ladies exchange tepid pleasantries and marvel at all the unity accomplished, Marlo pipes up that this fresh start cannot go on until all the bad juju is exorcised from the closet. A certain someone’s secret closet specifically. Marlo shares that her dear friend Sheree confided that a member of the group is spreading rumors that Kandi is a lesbian. Marlo just wants to know if it’s true and clear the smoky air.
The table alights with shock over who could say such a thing. Most confused-acting is Porsha. Porsha, who is, obviously, the culprit. Well, and Phaedra, who just guzzled the blood of salvation from her wine glass. And I mean guz-zled. As they try to determine who made this claim, which Kandi denied, Sheree reminds Porsha that it was actually HER.
Sheree walks Porsha backwards through the disastrous taco dinner, when she was mad that Kandi allegedly lied about Porsha’s relationship with Block, and the aftermath when Porsha snarked that Kandi was peeping out of the closet.
Kandi, is livid and claims she’s no more a lesbian than Porsha is. Porsha pleads the fifth on discussing any proposed lesbian activities, then blames Sheree for carrying the bones of a long-dead rumor and argument.
I really don’t get it. Sorry. I mean, OK so Porsha made an obnoxious rude comment out of anger, but now it’s becoming a big thing? Porsha insists she was really just being snarky, cause you know that anger management is a work in progress (or non-work in no progress), and she claims she’d forgotten about the moment until trifling Sheree made it into something bigger.
What was interesting is that while Porsha was being hung out to dry by Sheree and Marlo and harped on over her statements, Phaedra said NOTHING in her defense! Furthermore no one called Phaedra out for insinuating the lesbian comments in the first place by whispering about Kandi and Shamea Morton hooking up. Um… hello? Frick why aren’t you backing Frack?!
After dinner, Phaedra, Porsha and Lauren convene in one cabin to complain about Sheree’s messiness. Porsha threatens to unleash all the dirt she has on Kandi. Meanwhile, Kandi vents to Cynthia and Kenya that Porsha becomes an “aggressive lesbian” when she’s drunk and Kandi won’t hesitate to put her secrets on blast if need-be. And Sheree smirkily pretends to admonish Marlo for repeating confidential information, but agrees it’s necessary for the group to move forward with honesty.
As Kandi predicts, this will not end here or end nicely.
SHOULD PORSHA BE BLAMED FOR STARTING RUMORS, OR IS SHEREE MAKING A BIG DEAL OUT OF NOTHING? SHOULD PHAEDRA HAVE SPOKEN UP IN SHEREE’S DEFENSE?

Kimmy Schmidt is finally back. Netflix announced the season three premiere date for Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt in a way only Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt could with Titus Andromedon (Tituss Burgess)...I am still so baffled by Apollo Nida securing a fiancee while he is behind bars for an eight year prison sentence. I have so many questions about the origin and logistics of Apollo’s romance with Sherien Almufti, so I can imagine that Apollo’s wife and mother of his children Phaedra Parks has to have a million more questions about the state of their relationship. Sherien opened up (a teeny tiny) bit about their relationship and her time on Real Housewives of Atlanta.
Yes, you read that correctly: this woman Sherien is going to appear on RHOA. And I’m sure that thirst and desperation has to aggravate Phaedra. Even as a viewer, I’m kind of annoyed that this woman is getting attention like this. But still, I can’t deny that I am dying for whatever tea she has to spill.

Sherien didn’t share too much in her interview with RadarOnline, but she did say, “My relationship with Apollo is going wonderful.” Aside from by predisposition to dislike her and assume that she’s questionable, her grammar there really killed me.

For some weird reason Sherien also said, “I would rather not talk about my time on the show.” Excuse me? This is the same person who’s bragging all over social media about how she’s engaged to an imprisoned (kind of, sort of) reality star. She is actually going to turn up on Real Housewives of Atlanta, yet she’s distancing herself from the show? Maybe she is just prohibited from talking due confidentiality requirements, but it just seems weird that she shut her mouth now.
I also say this since her ex husband Derrick Copes told Radar, “She took my daughter out of school a week and a half ago to go to Atlanta to film.” That’s a solid set of priorities right there. Derrick also said, “Who takes their kid out of school to go film when it’s not educational. That is not good parenting. I don’t want my daughter on the show.” Yeah, I don’t blame the man. Who would want to be involved with this attention-seeking shit show of a situation?
What a questionable situation- to put it mildly.
Sherien has yet to respond to the comments Phaedra made last night on WWHL regarding Apollo and the state of his relationship with his fiancee.

Phaedra Parks ruffled a few feathers during her appearance on Watch What Happens Live, dropping shady comments about the status of Apollo Nida’s engagement, claiming to not give one fig about the state of her friendship with Kandi Burrus and more.
Andy plays clips of NeNe Leakes and Kenya Moore talking about Phaedra on past appearances of WWHL. Phaedra says, “It doesn’t really matter to me. But the good thing is when you’re in everybody’s mouth that must mean you’re doing something right girl.”
Andy next plays the scene from the Real Housewives of Atlanta dinner on last night’s episode where Phaedra quietly keeps sipping her champagne and doesn’t fess up that SHE is the one who claimed that Shamea Morton and Kandi had a lesbian relationship. “This is the thing you need to know. First of all, it was some slicing and dicing of the footage, but at the end of the day I came on the trip to be positive and we all know Porsha can handle herself. Porsha is a strong woman. Porsha is a great friend of mine and she is not a liar. But then on the second note, it was already becoming very heated and I think it was going in a bad direction so I didn’t need to add anymore fuel to that fire.”
Phaedra continues, saying she doesn’t care if someone is dipping in the lady pond. To each their own. Phaedra does admit that she didn’t know they were rolling tape when she said what she said about Kandi and Shamea. “That was not my objective, to tell anybody’s business. My objective was to say the motivation of this person to come at me. You’ve been on this show for three consecutive years with no contract and not making a penny, so you want to gain traction. When you’re trying to gain traction, you will do almost anything.” Andy says, “Who? Shamea?” And Phaedra nods in confirmation.
The first caller asks if Phaedra speaks to Apollo Nida. She says “Yes, he just sent me a text last night.” Phaedra says their relationship is cordial but Andy isn’t convinced. She adds, “Well, he is appealing the divorce and he still wants to remain married, so…” Andy is shocked and mentions the girlfriend. Phaedra corrects, “He has a fiance but he didn’t say that in court. He said he didn’t have a fiance.” Messy Messy. I’m sure Apollo’s fiance will have a few words to say about that.
A caller asks Phaedra if she misses her friendship with Kandi and she flat out says “no.” Andy says it makes him sad to hear it. Phaedra says, “it’s been three years since we’ve had a conversation.” She adds, “I’m cordial, there’s pleasantries because we are in the same circle, but we haven’t had a serious conversation since my baby was seven months old.”
A viewer asks how Apollo could even send Phaedra a text when he’s in jail, does he have a phone? Phaedra coyly says “I don’t know. He sent me a text.” Andy seems disbelieving so she asks if he wants to see it. He claims to believe her.
Does Phaedra think Kim Zolciak should come back to the show? “I like Kim and I would love to see her come back.”

If Phaedra could choose a housewife to leave the show, who would she choose? “I would never say that because that’s not my choice. What makes the show great is that we are an ensemble cast, so everyone plays their part. And for me to say something as malicious as that says more about me than them.”
