It is admittedly tough to side with Jax Taylor when it comes to anything involving his relationship with Brittany Cartwright. After Jax cheated on Brittany with one of her friends and lied about it, he has regained his status as enemy number one within the Vanderpump Rules cast and with some of the viewers.
Nevertheless, it was definitely out of line for Scheana Marie to set up Brittany with fellow SUR employee Adam even though she is still in a relationship with Jax and trying her best to make that work. Who sets up someone that has a live-in boyfriend? Oh right, the same person that bragged about her man hanging up a television in seven minutes and admitted that she has named their unborn daughter – even though she was technically still married to someone else.
Jax responded to some fan comments on Twitter and went off against his on-again-off-again friend Scheana. Someone tweeted, “Shady move, but ya gotta love @scheana.” Apparently Jax was not feeling the love that day since he quoted the tweet and wrote, “That’s what she does..makes her feel better I guess who knows.”
A tweet from the Bravo account asked, “What do you think about @scheana inviting another guy out for @BNCartwright?” Jax shared his opinion: “Well Britt I are doing amazing and she can’t keep a man… that is fact so…”
Jax followeded up that tweet with this grammatically-flawed remark: “Why people need to involve themselves in my relationship when they can’t even keep there own going is beyond me. But whatever makes ya happy in life.”
A fan tweeted at Jax, “Jax we can all admit you weren’t great to @BNCartwright in the beginning but I can see you’ve clearly learned how amazing she is and your cherishing that. #stayinthepresent.” Jax responded with, “Oh absolutely… but like anything you have to work at it. That’s what I learning. My relationship that is, But it’s our choice we love each other that’s what’s important and we want to be together. We aren’t perfect but we try as best as we can.” He added, “And at the end of the day… isn’t it our choice.. I mean call me crazy.”
Jax continued, “I don’t care that the twitter world chimes in cause you’re right that’s why I signed up for but the people you surround yourself with”friends” and I use that loosely, who can’t even get there shit straight seems a bit weird.”
Ironically enough, Jax ended his rant with, “For once I am gonna attempt to take high road.. because well it’s just to easy.” It is a little late for that one. Jax did not take the high road, but he definitely took the most entertaining route.
As angry as Jax seems, his girlfriend Brittany doesn’t seem to be at all offended by Scheana’s attempt at a romantic setup. During an episode of the Vanderpump Rules After Show, Scheana said, “Adam has been single. Why not? We all work together. We all shit where we work, so why not add to the bunch?” Because Brittany is NOT single. Scheana insisted, “I wanted Brittany to feel wanted.” Brittany told her, “That’s all I ever got from it. I never got like a coniving thing from you doing that. I just always thought it was trying to make me feel good.” Interesting.
An off-camera producer asked, “Scheana, wasn’t there some part of you that wanted to get back at Jax?” She answered, “Jax and I, that’s another thing. We’re like brother and sister. We’re always trying to get back at each other or one up each other. And that is out of my character, but when it comes to him, I’m like ‘OK. You want to come at me? I can do better.'” How considerate.
Scheana’s intentions appeared to be even more skewed when she added, “Here’s the thing, honey. I got someone younger, hotter, and taller that’s interested in your girl, so you want to go there, we can.” So this was solely about giving Brittany a confidence boost? Sure, Scheana.
Tonight on Vanderpump Rules: “Jax blindsides Brittany with the news he is considering moving to Florida for a job; Sandoval and Schwartz impress Lisa by creating innovative cocktails for TomTom; Stassi and Lala take Jax to task for always putting his needs above Brittany’s.”
TELL US- WOULD YOU BE MAD AT SCHEANA IF YOU WERE JAX? DID SCHEANA JUST WANT TO GIVE BRITTANY A CONFIDENCE BOOST OR WAS SHE MORE FOCUSED ON RETALIATING AGAINST JAX?

Welcome, friends, to round three of Alpha Male Madness 2018! The search for 2018's most beloved TV actor continues as the Sweet 16 battle it out for your votes. Only eight can...I cannot be more excited for the Real Housewives of Atlanta Season 10 reunion. Specifically, I just want to see Kim Zolciak and NeNe Leakes going at it over bugs, health problems, and handicap parking spaces. Sure, there has been other drama this season, but a NeNe vs. Kim showdown is classic RHOA. I am more than ready for it.
Kim got me even more pumped up for the reunion episodes when she appeared on Watch What Happens Live. She discussed that infamous “roach” video, Kroy Biermann‘s chauffeur services, and even some reunion conspiracy theories.
Andy Cohen admitted to Kim, “I feel like if Kroy was my husband, I would want him to drive me.” Same, though. Kim told Andy, “Of course.”
And then the conversation turned serious. Andy asked, “Did NeNe deserve to be fired from the Xscape tour?” Kim pointed out, “I didn’t see a tear. Not one tear.” So obviously Kim was not buying NeNe’s remorse.
Andy asked the audience, “Do you think Kim uses Kroy as a crutch?” Andy started to say, “That’s what Kandi [Burruss] seemed to be so…” Kim cut him off and clarified, “I only filmed four scenes with Kandi, so she doesn’t even know what she’s talking about.” So I guess that truce we saw during their lunch meetup did not last.
And then Kim backtracked and asked for a clarification of the issue at hand, asking, “A crutch is what though?” Andy explained, “Their accusation at you is because he’s outside, you don’t want to be with them, you have one foot out the door all the time.” Kim said, “That’s a lie. At the elephant room, Madame Cleo, whatever her name was, was a fraud, I didn’t believe in her. So I wasn’t into it. I was calling getting pizza and fries.” I do not blame Kim for that reaction at all. That Elephant Room experience was a joke and a half.
The true elephant in the clubhouse was that “roach” video Brielle Biermann filmed that Kim sent to the rest of the cast. Kim explained, “Well, I think the video was made in good jest. Brielle knows I have a fear of bugs. She made the video and sent it to me personally. Brielle was out of it.”
She continued, “Brielle sent the video to me. I had the video in my phone. I was so mad when she said those things: accusing me of fake stroke, fake whatever. So I sent the video. I’m definitely not racist. I don’t associate roach whatever, spider whatever, in my mind. I heard it from several people. I hear you. That’s not where my head has ever been at.”
To break up all of the roach-infested drama, Kim was asked about the Housewives from other shows that she’s friends with. She answered, “I love Kyle Richards.” She also said, “I adore Lisa Vanderpump.” I would love to see Lisa and Kim in the same room. I can see it now: Kim showing up with her own solo cup, refusing to drink the LVP sangria.
And then Kim teased the reunion. Pretty much every Housewife hypes up the reunion drama once it’s filmed and they say the same things every season about how “intense” it was to film, but this time, I really believe it. Or at least I hope that Kim and NeNe lit the place up with their arguing. Kim remarked, “At the reunion, I feel like she was a different person.” Fellow guest Iggy Azalea asked, “Like a good person?” Kim told her, “No, sweetie.”
Kim added, “I’m still recovering from the reunion. It was definitely not fun at all.” Andy admitted, “I can’t hear still.” Then she dropped this bomb: “It was unbelievable. I just didn’t know that they had met up beforehand to kind of figure it out.” Andy asked, “Do you think they did?” Kim told him, “I know they did.”
This roach video has been discussed ad nauseum. Kim claimed, “Well, Brielle texted me the video because she was there so I wouldn’t go in there because I was mic’ed and make a big scene and embarrass NeNe. Brielle and NeNe had been friends for years. So it was Brielle’s way of saying ‘You’re a freak about bugs. Don’t go in there.’ I just had the video. It was months later when I sent it. You shouldn’t have bugs when you’re having a party.” She added, “I can see why people would see it that way, but call for an exterminator when you’re having a party.”

This season of Real Housewives Of Atlanta has been light on drama, but apparently the reunion more than made up for it. Kenya Moore returned in full form to have arguments with almost everyone. I guess rumors about her job being in jeopardy were true and girl realized she better act fast.
Last week, Bravo released the reunion seating chart, which showed Kenya in the last seat on a the sofa – a place she’s never previously occupied courtesy of her s#*t-starting ways. Kenya’s peach is reportedly about to be smashed over her refusal to film for most of the season and her secret marriage (including her allegedly difficult to deal with husband). However, sources reveal that on the couches Kenya whipped out the trump card by announcing that she’s finally pregnant and is due before the end of the year. Kenya’s husband Marc also may make an appearance.
Possibly substantiating that she’s expecting in a recent instagram post, Kenya gushed, “Never Give Up. Not an announcement just encouragement.”
Much of the reunion was dominated by NeNe Leakes arguing with Kim Zolciak over Roachgate – which Kenya also got involved in. It was a heated argument where MANY insults were flung. Kenya piled on due to her own messy moments with Kim about Kenya’s marriage.
Love B Scott reports that Kim tried to ignore Kenya completely so Kenya got up and sat right beside NeNe, in between her and Kim. Kim got so angry she stormed off the set, crying. Kroy was probably waiting right in the wings to whisk her away (and this is likely the end of Kim returning to RHOA).
Brielle hinted that Kim was a major target in a series of tweets she made after the reunion filmed.
Kenya, the busy bee, also got into it with Marlo Hampton over Marlo’s claims that Kenya’s marriage was fake. Kenya used some old drama with NeNe to prop up her anger.
These women are either fighting against NeNe, or they’re fighting over NeNe and for NeNe. Anyway, Kenya disclosed the terrible secret of what Marlo did to NeNe that caused their friendship to [temporarily] end.
Apparently, Marlo tried to blackmail NeNe. Remember when NeNe and Gregg separated and NeNe was “dating” that creepy guy John Kolaj? At the reunion Kenya claimed Marlo got John drunk, invited him over, and gave him a massage, then somehow got into his phone to screenshot explicit text conversations between him and NeNe. Ew and Yuck. Then Marlo threatened to show Gregg the messages.
During this time Kenya was actually friends with Marlo – but not friends with NeNe – which explains how she knew about it. Marlo’s motives for the betrayal aren’t made clear. Maybe it was so NeNe would put in the word to get Marlo hired on RHOA? Marlo was a bridesmaid in NeNe’s re-wedding… so I’m guessing the alleged blackmail happened AFTER? NeNe did previously send Kenya and Claudia Jordan Cease & Desist letters before quitting the show.
Interesting. (Psst: Kenya has a close relationship with LoveBScott, so the source for this is likely well connected to Mrs. Daly and therefore the scoop pretty legit (although a bit biased)).
In other news, Eva Marcille made an appearance to deny being a lesbian. Sheree and Cynthia were fairly quiet, and Porsha apologized again for last season and possibly made amends with Kandi.
A major casting shake-up is also rumored to be in the works for next season, but I assume we’ll see most of the major players back with possibly Cynthia leaving and Kenya landing a spinoff of some sorts?

Katy Perry can do a lot of things, but she cannot sing like Mariah Carey. In this exclusive clip from tonight's episode of American Idol, a contestant reveals to judges Perry, Luke...
Will & Grace will be back for not one, but at least two more seasons. The revived comedy's renewal was announced at the 2018 PaleyFest in Los Angeles where series stars Eric McCormack,...How many weeks of Sister Wives do we have left until Meri Brown can head for the hills? Apparently, not many! The two-part family tell-all starts next week, which means we’ll get to see more of Kody Brown’s ponytail than should be legal. But at least there is an end in sight, even if it means we’ll never get to see the visit from Meri’s co-catfish comrade.
Last night’s episode begins, and the family is excited to welcome baby Axel after Madison’s long labor. Robyn brings King Solomon and her latest child to meet the newborn, and Solomon is unimpressed. Robyn waxes poetic about the random generational divides in polygamist families. Her youngest child is closer in age to Axel than brother Solomon.
Meri calls the adults together to inform them her friend Cheryl will be coming to visit from Atlanta. The woman was catfished by the same lady who affected the Brown family, but I can’t help but wonder if Meri just opens herself up to people who are prime for taking advantage.
The wives are wary but supportive, although Christine jokes that she hopes Meri’s house guest will be a real person. Robyn cackles that Meri and this woman are sister wives with their catfisher. Janelle and Christine join Meri in laughter, but Kody removes himself from the situation. He also doesn’t want to head to marriage counseling any time soon. He has enough nagging wives, he doesn’t need a therapist taking him to task.
The family is enjoying some fun times together with a cook-out because we all know these people need a party. They tease Asypn about her new boyfriend Mitch. He’s known the Browns for almost a decade, and while his parents didn’t practice polygamy, he grew up in the church. He has since left the church, and I think he may be related to someone on Seeking Sister Wife. Tony teases that Christine is much nicer to Mitch than she was to him. You don’t say, Tony? Your eight hour wedding story arc is over. Learn your place. Christine commandeers the backyard to go over Ysabel’s struggle with scoliosis. After her stint in boot camp, Ysabel’s curve decreased by ten degrees which is amazing.
Mariah and Meri are working on their relationship, and Meri is treating her daughter to a long desired trip to Seattle. Mariah’s girlfriend Audrey joins them on the long weekend, and Meri is thrilled to see her daughter so happy. Both mother and daughter are tip toeing around the fact the catfish episode strained their relationship so badly. Meri is nervous about asking Mariah to meet her partner in catfish crime, but she worries it will upset the apple cart as they have worked to fix their issues.
Mariah and Audrey invite Meri to join them at a gay bar that evening, but Meri wonders if she’s allowed to go to gay bars since she’s not gay. Meri also only drinks wine. Do they have wine at bars? The awkwardness is palpable until Meri tries to coax Mariah back to Las Vegas to meet Cheryl. Mariah shuts down that mere mention of the catfishing. Aubrey sits back uncomfortably as Mariah and Meri don’t discuss the catfishing incident. Mariah argues that she’s over it, but Meri pushes that Mariah is still suppressing her anger. Meri won’t stop nagging, so Mariah counters that she will meet Cheryl if Meri will join her at a gay bar. It’s a deal. The trio heads to a gay bar called Unicorn, and Meri is completely out of her element. She orders a Diet Coke and complains about how old she is. How many daughters drag their mothers to bars? Um, a lot.
Back in Las Vegas, the four sister wives are visiting the family therapist to deal with Meri’s whining about not being included in Axel’s birth…because she didn’t show up when everyone else did. Meri feels excluded and Janelle is peeved. How is Meri managing to make Madison’s labor and delivery all about herself? Because it’s what Meri does!
In the session, Christine is hopeful that Meri will get closure or peace after the incident. Janelle interjects that the wives constantly invite Meri to participate in their lives, but she never wants to accept their kindness. Meri is very stand-offish. She doesn’t see it that way at all. Janelle refuses to back down in taking Meri to task. It’s not her responsibility to make sure Meri feels like a special snowflake while Madison is giving birth to the family’s first grandchild. Meri is incredibly skilled at playing the victim. You hold your ground, Janelle! Meri claims to be over the situation, but she is worried that Janelle can’t seem to get over the hump.
Robyn fidgets with her My Sister Wives Closet necklace as Meri recounts a text message from Kody that strictly forbade anyone from coming over to see the baby until Madison had time to rest. She admits that she wondered where Meri was but it wasn’t her place to extend the invitation. Meri isn’t upset with Madison because she was giving birth. Robyn feels badly that Meri wasn’t in attendance. Meri doesn’t know her role in the family, but she’s also not willing to forge one for herself. She wants it handed to her on a silver platter which she will place on her wet bar. Christine pushes regular lunch dates among the women which has Janelle rolling her eyes. Meri bursts into tears. She isn’t concerned with her relationship with her sister wives. She is sad about Kody. Robyn is tired of Meri questioning their motives in being kind to her.
The wives are having their first lunch outing, and Christine takes the lead with the phony conversation. This crowd is terrible at small talk, and Meri boohoos about not having any expectations when it comes to this crowd. She sits stoically as Robyn shares jewelry from her new line. Christine apologizes for not being more involved in the venture. Meri recalls how she used be super involved in the business, but like everything else in her life, she’s no longer included. Robyn remembers a different version where Meri ditched the endeavor to go back to school. After the super awkward lunch, the ladies leave no better than they arrived.
The following day, Christine invites an incredibly defensive Meri over for a frank discussion on Madison’s labor. Christine calmly tells Meri that she comes with a lot of baggage and is always bristling. Meri can’t take any kind of criticism so she immediately responds gruffly. Christine makes some valid points, but Meri accuses Christine of not seeing things from her point of view. Meri puts words in Christine’s mouth. Meri is one eye roll away from having her face stuck in that nasty face. Meri feels that Christine doesn’t trust her. Christine just wants to know how she can make Meri feel more comfortable, but Meri doesn’t care. They go in circles about Meri being guarded while Christine really attempts to extend the olive branch. Meri is toxic. She doesn’t want to remedy the situation. She doesn’t want to fix things. If she did, Meri would have absolutely nothing to complain about, and self-pity is her favorite past time. Poor Christine. She tried.
As the two hour Meri show draws to a close, Kody’s despondent first wife has a glimmer in her eye that has been long absent and has yet to be filled with yoga pants and crafting. She tells the producers she’s going to the bed and breakfast with an offer letter to purchase the home. Shhh…it’s a secret! Meri hightails it back to Utah where her offer is accepted by sweet Vicki who is ready to unload the money pit. While Meri recognizes that there is a lot that needs to happen before the house is hers, she is ready for a new chapter–and a spin-off! I kid (I hope).

Shannon Beador and David Beador met with a judge last week to begin proceedings for their divorce, specifically over Shannon request for temporary alimony. David argued that Shannon doesn’t need his money, but a judge disagreed.
David, oddly, represented himself while the Real Housewives Of Orange County star brought along her attorney who was much better equipped to fight for her rights. David was apparently trying to save money – or maybe he’s too broke to afford his legal fees and Shannon’s – which the judge ordered him to pay $25,000 towards.
Shannon and David were awarded joint physical and legal custody of their three daughters, because the judge decided, “It seems like they are both good parents to their children, despite the fact that they are at odds with each other.” David is also to pay $12,000 per month in child support.
That’s where the pleasantries end because David apparently demonstrated that Shannon is creating discord between him and his daughters, the judge told him, “Sir, I hope you can come to coax (your daughters) to have as much parental time with them and tell Shannon to cooperate.” Ouch.
The judge also ruled that David was to pay Shannon $18,000 per month in temporary spousal support!!!! Did this guy cheat again and we just don’t know? David contested the decision, claiming Shannon actually out-earns him courtesy of her Housewives paycheck and subsequent deals associated with the show – he cited her recently signed season 13 contract, but the judge disallowed this because future earnings can’t be a considering factor. In a related note, Shannon has started filming already.
According to witnesses, a shocked David argued, “She spends like a freak!” and complained the judge was biased because he represented himself.
David insisted that if he continues funding Shannon’s extravagance it will potentially bankrupt his company and he may have to shut down for 3 months. David’s business grossed just a scant $1 million last year, and this comes after he claims to have lost $3 – $4 million in previous years. I guess that alludes to him having debts? That also explains their move to a rental! In contrast, Shannon’s income has only increased.
However, Shannon’s attorney accused David of sheltering money by paying himself rent because his construction company sits on land David also owns. I guess it depends if he’s over-inflating the rent amount? David denied this and insists that all his earnings go back into funding his company and various business expenditures – including payroll. To determine the full state of David’s confusing business affairs the judge ordered a $10,000 retainer for a forensic accountant.
A frustrated David told the judge, “I’m a little disappointed that I wasn’t able to present any evidence. I need to be careful here, but it seems to me you gave more credibility to Mr. Phillips because he is an attorney and I am self-represented. Quite honestly, your honor, I was ready to have the bailiff put me in handcuffs and haul me off because $30,000 a month would potentially destroy my company. I have to pay my ex to live a lavish lifestyle while I struggle to make payroll. I have no line of credit because in previous years I had some issues.”
The judge denied favoring Shannon and reportedly chastised BOTH the Beadors for their wasteful spending, saying, “They both individually make too much money not to have enough at the end of each month.” Shannon reported needing $55,000 per month to maintain her lifestyle!
In a positive for David, Shannon told Radar Online that the exes met after court and agreed a lesser amount of alimony would be sufficient. Meanwhile, David complained that he was “being taken advantage of.” After all if David is shelling out all his cash on Shannon’s supplements and crystals, I doubt they’ll be very much left over for college funds.
Sheesh – I agree with the judge! All that money and not a penny to their names? Shannon is gonna have to start clipping coupons.

NeNe Leakes was on top of the world, but on last night’s Real Housewives Of Atlanta it all came tumbling down. Can NeNe ever be put back together again after her great fall?
NeNe is officially in a twitter war (and every other kind of war) with Kim Zolciak and Brielle Biermann. It’s gone beyond nasty into libel territory and Orkin definitely needs to exterminate this mess. It’s actually making me think less of two women, whom I’ve never managed to muster a decent opinion of in the first place. This is the magic of Bravo: nasty people behaving more badly. You can read all the details here.
Sadly this twitter insanity is probably the crowning achievement of Brielle’s young life – a momentous rise to attention and spotlight, and a chance to eke out of Kim’s shadow into her own Housewives drama. Kim pretends she is ‘protecting her daughter’ by lashing out, but like always Kim is propelling Brielle to be involved. Is it wrong for NeNe to come at Kim’s daughter, even though Brielle A) provoked it; and B) Is an adult?
Kim and Brielle manufactured the situation when they not only took a video in NeNe’s home without permission, but then shared it with everyone else on RHOA – during filming – and claimed it was evidence that NeNe lives a filthy life with cockroaches. NeNe is devastated that her beautiful, new home is being dragged through the muddy backyard of a renovated foreclosure for Kim’s gain. Of course NeNe then shared the video on social media to use as an example that Kim is racist for calling “water bugs” roaches, thus comparing her house to the projects.
It’s been very unclear to me how Brielle even got into NeNe’s house, but it turns out BRENTT invited her! Kinda. Teenage rebellion is a helluva thing.
While NeNe was hosting her Clams and Their Salamis Pure Viginal Snow In Sadistic Humidity party (which Kim also came uninvited to), Brielle texted Brentt to say she was in the neighborhood and wanted to drop by. That’s when she stole into NeNe’s bathroom, James Bond-style, and took a video featuring the bugs. They aren’t roaches of the gross brown cockroaches prolific in city apartments, but giant black beetle things, yet Brielle and Kim keep referring to them as “roaches,” implying that NeNe’s filthy house caused their presence.
NeNe decides Brielle and Kim are therefore “racist” because she’s done some things before “that make you go hmmmm…” and it gets heated and awful on twitter. While NeNe is discussing this humiliation with Gregg and Brentt, Kim is over at Sheree Whitfield‘s house going IN on NeNe the “devil bitch.” Kim again accuses NeNe of being “on something”. Also, she hired an attorney and security because NeNe’s racism accusations led to death threats.
Instead of spending thousands to get yet another new face and wig to use as a disguise, Kim’s attorney sent NeNe a “sis and deceased” or maybe it’s a “cyst and diseased” letter. You know, a CEASE AND DESIST. Why can no housewives pronounce this correctly?
Now NeNe said some pretty unforgivable things to Brielle. Like: “We don’t have roaches! If you found 1, u brought it with u or it fell outta yo funky pu$$y! Go somewhere and let the air outta those fake lips, fake titties and fake ass because you will never be @kyliejenner. Yo trashy mama should have taught you better! My home is Brand New but you guys were so jealous of it, you couldn’t even give a compliment. You had to stoop so low and be so disgusting #racisttrash.”
NeNe since deleted this, but I have the power of “pause” on my DVR so I typed it out word-for-word for all you lucky people to enjoy for time infinitum. (Cockroaches and this quote will both survive a nuclear holocaust). By the time the new RHOA confessional taped, NeNe had apparently paid attention to that cease and desist amended her stance because she called Brielle a “beautiful girl” and blamed Kim for her fall from grace. Or maybe NeNe is just on a redemption tour after being kicked off the Xscape tour?
Here’s where I stand on the issue: NeNe’s reaction was unwarrantedly over-the-top, but Brielle and Kim purposely did this this, knowing the reaction it would provoke. They came for NeNe, and now they’re trying to play victim. Also, I do not believe Kim was receiving death threats and feared for the lives of her “SIX BAAAAAAABIES”. Can’t Kroy’s [former] NFL arms protect them?
Sheree pretends to be scandalized by all Kim’s accusations about NeNe as she hides her smirks. She does, tepidly, tell Kim she shouldn’t have sent the video or involved Brielle, but Sheree is certainly pleased to see NeNe being trashed. More than a racist, I think Kim is a roach; a scuttling bug slithering underneath everyone’s skirts desperately looking for some drama to nibble on to give everyone the scares.
After meeting with Kim, Sheree puts on a new personality to have a civilized lunch with Kandi Burruss. By this time NeNe is in the second stage of life-ruining drama. Still reeling and emotionally raw from her issues with Kim, she got into a heated exchange with an audience member during one of her comedy shows and NeNe told the woman she hoped she’d get raped by her Uber driver. Ostensibly, NeNe was making a joke about Uber, one which warned women to watch out for drivers taking them to “Hello Kitty” when the audience member (an Uber employee?) told NeNe to go “kill yourself.” NeNe snapped, and as a result has been removed from Kandi’s Xscape reunion tour.
Kandi is finding herself in an interesting predicament. Last year, Porsha Williams accused Kandi of trying to drug and rape her, and Kandi is STILL mad (not even Mama Joyce can convince Kandi into forgiving Porsha – and Mama Joyce is the evil dictator of Atlanta), yet Kandi advocated for NeNe to stay on the tour despite her rape comment. Sheree is shocked as Kandi defends NeNe’s outburst as just a lapse in judgement. Kandi actually wanted NeNe to remain a part of the tour, but the promoter and other group members out-voted her to have NeNe removed because of negative publicity. And also she might bring roaches water bugs on the tour bus. Kandi also doesn’t believe Kim’s racist, but that the video went way too far and towed a narrow line that brings up sensitive racial sterotypes. Since Kim invited Kandi to a reunion lunch, Sheree encourages her to be honest about how she’s feeling about all the drama.
I too am surprised by how calm Kandi is being about this, especially considering her experiences last season. I mean, huh? Why is Kandi being so ‘understanding’? Does she just not want NeNe to dig up any ‘roaches’ she may have scuttling around?
Furthermore, Kim’s invitation to Kandi is more transparent than most of Marlo Hampton‘s wardrobe. As soon as NeNe is looking oh-so-bad, and in another potential falling out with Kandi, Kim wants to make amends? Again, Kim’s not a racist – she’s a roach.
Well at least Porsha no longer has issues with NeNe! After Barcelona they’re once again friendly. Ish. Queen peach or not, Porsha has decided against taking NeNe’s advice to beg everyone’s forgiveness for “royally” f–king up.
Since NeNe is really feeling so blue (and wearing it too), Marlo and Cynthia Bailey visit to cheer her up. This is a way for NeNe to publicly apologize and explain her behavior, all glammed up and professionally coordinated by the Bravo PR team. NeNe already offered a tearful apology on instagram, but in front of her friends while Cynthia eats a cupcake, then slurps watermelon, and everything else in front of her, NeNe eats her words.
NeNe cries about how she over-reacted and let anger get the better of her and now, even worse, she’s potentially let petty drama with Kim undermine and ruin her career. So she basically let KIM get the best of her! While comforting her, Cynthia also lectures NeNe on how she must go see Porsha’s anger management coach for some tips. But NeNe is correct – why can’t Kim just be nice and supportive of her achievements? What happened?
In other Cynthia news, she’s giving Will yet another opportunity since she doesn’t believe any of the warnings Eva Marcille or Porsha gave her. In fact, Cynthia is overjoyed to continue being his date/non-date, occasional plus one for the cameras and personal uber airport driver. Let’s just hope Cynthia doesn’t succumb to any of NeNe’s comedy act behaviors.
Kim is over an hour late to meet Kandi in a dark, gloomy restaurant. Foreshadowing! As Kroy drops her off, Kim tells him to go to Costco because hopefully she won’t be long. Then she waltzes in with florid excuses and demands wine. Kandi has had it with Kim’s tardy for the party attitude.
Kandi tries to point out that Kim always has Kroy drive her as a ‘get out of jail free card’ – if she wants to leave someplace quick, or bail on the activity, he’s ready and waiting outside, the hovering chauffeur always at her beck and call. Kim insists that it’s because she likes to drink (and doesn’t trust Uber drivers? Or Bravo cars?), and also that Kandi shouldn’t care how she’s getting and going places. Kim intentionally misses Kandi’s point – she also won’t let Kandi even finish a sentence.
I’m shocked Kandi kept her cool cause the second Wigs N Cigs rolled in the door, barking excuses, she would’ve been tardy for the party of only one – herself (two if you count the wine). Instead Kandi keeps patiently trying to explain why Kim is SO VERY RUDE AND ANNOYING. Maybe Kim’s wig prevents her from hearing clearly? Or wig glue rotted her brain? Whatever it was she was NOT able to engage in a conversation. Once Kim starts cussing, Kandi shuts her down by suggesting that Kim take her potty mouth back to the trailer Kroy has waiting outside.
At least they make a decision to put the Tardy For the Party lawsuit behind them, although Kim tries to dredge it up and get Kandi roused up again. Kandi also manages to give Kim her two-cents on the NeNe situation and makes it clear that she feels Brielle – encouraged by Kim – were out of line. Obviously Kim did not get that message either, because the only messages she cares about are the ones from Kroy about the industrial-sized toilet paper he’s purchasing.
Also, where is Kenya Moore? Did Marc Daly kidnap her? #FreeKenya

Everything you knew about Family Guy's Stewie Griffin has changed. In an episode with no commercial-interruption, the Fox animated comedy broke down the secrets of the perpetually 1-year-old...
Dance Moms star Abby Lee Miller was sentenced to a year long prison stint back in May 2017. The reality star was indicted for concealment of bankruptcy assets and bankruptcy fraud in 2015 and she started her time behind bars in July 2017.
Dance students beware, Abby is getting out earlier than expected.
According to a report from E! News, the Federal Bureau of Prisons states that Abby will be out of jail on May 25. She was going to be released on June 21, so she’s not getting out that much sooner, but I’m that Abby will take whatever she can get to leave prison and get back in the studio, crushing the dreams of aspiring dancers.
I am just eagerly waiting a post-prison interview, so I can see her weight loss, hear Abby refuse to take responsibility for her actions (yet again), and laugh at the inevitable shade she will throw toward the mothers on the show.
