Kenya Moore Won’t Film RHUGT With These Real Housewives

Before we get into this story, I want to say how much I’ve enjoyed Kenya “Twirl” Moore this last season of Real Housewives of Atlanta. Maybe it’s because she flew above (Kandi Burruss reference). Whatever it was, it’s been refreshing to see her take somewhat of a backseat after carrying this show for so many years. 

It’s why her interview with Carlos King was so upsetting. Hearing that she feels producers are trying to push her off the show — like they did NeNe Leakes — is heartbreaking. Especially after everybody knows the work she’s done since Season 5 to make this franchise a success. 

If her last seasons are among us, at least we have a vault of her best moments on RHOA and Peacock’s spin-off, RHUGT. And speaking of which, in Kenya’s latest interview with Elle, she named the three Housewives she wouldn’t DARE go overseas with. 

Who do you think Kenya’s Housewives foes are?

As we’ve seen with most Real Housewives, when they’re asked an uncomfortable question, most will try to plead the fifth. But not Kenya Summer Moore. She always comes prepared. 

When asked by Elle to say the three Housewives she wouldn’t want to film a Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip season with, the names flowed effortlessly. 

“I mean, that’s easy,” she started. “Number one — Vicki [Gunvalson]. We all know who Vicki is. She thinks she’s the queen of all the queens … and she’s not.” 

Marysol [Patton] from Miami,” Kenya named as her second choice. “It’s a no. No. Never. Don’t get along with her.” 

And her third answer may be a surprise because who knew these two reality stars were even in the same orbit?

 “The one from Dubai,” she said. “Caroline [Stanbury]. I know just too many things about her. She’s not been nice to my friends, and I think when you’re not nice to my friends, that’s just not a good place to be.” 

Wow. For anyone who has the tea on what Marysol or Caroline did to Kenya (or her friends), please let us know. And Bravo, if you’re reading, cast a season of UGT like they’re playing Survivor — complete and total sequester. No leaks. Only expect the unexpected. Then we’ll really have an activated Kenya. 

TELL US – ARE YOU SURPRISED ABOUT KENYA’S TOP THREE? WHO DID YOU THINK IT WOULD’VE BEEN?

Tom Girardi Court Updates: ‘No Outbursts,’ Lawyer ‘Good Performer’

Is Tom Girardi mentally incompetent, or is he exaggerating? On The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, we heard the stories from Erika Jayne about his debilitating mental capacity. But, it seemed like his health issues started to become more apparent right as his legal problems started becoming inescapable.

With Tom on the hook for millions of dollars of misappropriated funds, prosecutors believe that Tom could be exaggerating his mental capacity to avoid stiffer punishment. So, this week, he had to appear in court to prove that his mind isn’t what it used to be.

Meghann Cunniff, a legal affairs journalist who always has the tea, shared a mega-thread on Twitter and delivered live updates from Tom’s competency hearing. Based on Meghann’s analysis, it sounds like Tom has some damn good lawyers fighting for him.

Disgraced and disbarred

On Twitter, Meghann shared a video of a disheveled Tom entering the courtroom. The hearing lasted for hours, but he reportedly made it through the entire thing without any “outbursts.”

During the hearing, a neuropsychologist testified in Tom’s defense. They suggested that Tom couldn’t recognize his ex-wife Erika in a picture and needed help from an assistant. However, the assistant then suggested that perhaps it was because Erika “wasn’t wearing any makeup” and the picture was “pre-plastic surgery.” Did the assistant really need to shade Erika that bad?

Either way, Meghann’s analysis of the hearing revealed that Tom’s lawyers are good at what they do. Although his legal reputation has been completely tarnished, he still was able to retain the best of the best to represent him.

“Girardi’s lawyer is a good performer – the last time I saw [Craig Harbaugh] in action he was defending Stephen Beal in the first bombing trial before [Judge Josephine Staton]. Harbaugh managed to get a mistrial, and Beal has got to be one of the guiltiest guys to ever walk the face of the Earth,” Meghann explained as she observed Tom’s hearing.

The recent hearing was just the first step in a long road to determining if Tom is mentally competent enough to be held accountable for his actions. Stay tuned for more updates, and follow Meghann if you have an appetite for legal gossip out of California.
