Last night’s Real Housewives Of Atlanta Secrets Revealed episode may has well have been our official goodbye to Phaedra Parks. Her swan song, if you will. At one point she even licked a peach-shaped candle and mocked it for not being a real peach. Art imitating life!
Obviously there was much ado about the drama between Kandi Burruss and Porsha Williams, which we now know was all initiated by Phaedra. Ergo, it was quite funny when Phaedra and Sheree Whitfield visited a book store to see Sheree’s new book, and discussed Kandi and Porsha’s argument.
Phaedra guffawed that she needs to hook up a lie detector test up to some vaginal lips – and isn’t that so ironic?! Girl… you need one here, down there, and everywhere… from your tiny baby toe, to your eyebrow!

Phaedra was also quite surprised to learn that Porsha had experimented in the lady pond, but don’t worry – Frack never tried to get into Frick’s crack!
Later Phaedra meets all the girls except Kandi for drinks to discuss her disastrous ‘friendship re-connection dinner’ with Kandi at the beginning of the season. Kenya Moore muses that sometimes she seriously thinks Phaedra is pretending to be a human who is absorbing information or ideas, then she just goes ahead and robotically continues doing the same ol’ thing! Basically Phaedra cannot admit when she’s wrong, and she’s not empathetic to other’s situations. Oh, isn’t that the case!
Also ironically, was how ardently Porsha and Phaedra defended their friendship. In unseen Maui footage, Phaedra visits Porsha’s room to flirt with Todd2, and learns the chocolate in the centerpiece is edible – and quite sweet – yet the fruit bowl is fake as all the Georgia peaches she tries to take a bite out of. Isn’t this great imagery for this this show and Phaedra’s portrayal? Porsha and Phaedra claim to have a deep friendship behind the scenes, which to my understanding involves lots of sound effects, twerking, and speaking in some kind of special language. Poor Todd has found himself sandwiched inside quite a menage-a-trois!
Then Phaedra took her sons to the dentist where Mr. President (aka Ayden) threw a tantrum at being prodded and poked. Phaedra compared him to Apollo, but made sure to explain that like all good Commanders In Chief, Ayden wants to make all the executive orders. Which means if he wants to throw a fit at the nicest and fanciest pediatric dentist office I’ve ever seen, then secret service – stand by!
Sheree published her book and put in a liberry (did we ever see the one at Chateau Sheree?!), then Kairo left for college, and miracle of miracles, Bob moved him to school. Only because Bob hoped to mack on some co-eds. Seriously. Sheree notes that this is actually (sadly) a step-up from the Bob of yore … the one who didn’t call her, or pay child support, and let their kids be evicted from the home. Bob is a big ol saggy boob! Uck.
Noelle confronts Cynthia Bailey about how underhanded and sneaky the divorce is – like one day Peter didn’t ever come home again, but Cynthia failed to officially sit-down and discuss this with Noelle. She too was blindsided by Cynthia’s need to be free of Peachter, Peachter Bank Account Eater. Strike while the iron is indisposed in Charleston, I s’pose!
Later Peter and Cynthia discuss their divorce (again). Again, she is devastated to learn that Peter won’t continue to pine for her once those papers are signed! Cynthia wants to have her brownie, and eat it too, which means she wants to be rid of Peter on paper, but still keep all the good parts of their union – like him being her bestie, listening ear, and scapegoat. But Peter isn’t interested in friendship – he will only invest in relationships with women where he gets something in return. And that something is not a divorce decree, but I’m pretty sure he’ll stick around for any future trips to Maui, or wherever.
Why is Cynthia so incapable of being an adult? I mean, she will talk about her down-low lesbian experiences with Noelle, but not mention that Noelle’s step-father is moving out? Mmmmkay.
Then the ladies celebrated Father’s Day which, well, meant that only Kandi and Todd were truly celebrating. Leon is in Cali and all he got was a FaceTime, Apollo is in prison… Kenya is mothering her post-adolescent man child by installing nanny cams all over the house so he doesn’t break the fine china. Apparently Kandi needs some of those too – she admits to actually forgetting Ace at home one day, and not realizing until she was at the end of the street.
So Father’s Day… Riley is sad that Block is absent, and Kandi doesn’t know what to do, so she contrives new ways to help her children become moguls. Ace, aged 6 months, now has his own “lifestyle brand” company called Raising Ace, and Kandi has him doing around a photoshoot on a potty chair. Luckily Cynthia arrives to inform Kandi of child labor laws! Kandi just wants her children to know that all opportunities are another way to make money. I’m not sure I co-sign that attitude, but I’m also sure that I’m not a multi-millionaire and neither are my children.
While Kandi was protecting her assets, Kenya visited a security expert to protect Moore Manor as if the secrets of the ages were hidden beneath its walls. I guess Sheree does live next door and might steal some WiFi, or something…
RELATED – Moore Manor Has A Security Breech!
Just in case, Kenya actually requested armed sentries and an electric fence to ward against intruders. $10 says one drunken night she’d shock herself twirling around the property line… And that she’d accidentally make an HD sex tape with those security cams the next time she and Matt got freaky in his truck! When your security makes you less secure, Atlanta we have twirled upon a problem.
Kenya secures Moore Manor just in time to leave town. First to summer camp with Phaedra, where happily we saw nice sides of both ladies. In the car on the way to MI, Kenya even let the devil Phaedra take the wheel while she fixed her scarf, and they had had an honest conversation about love, Phaedra’s divorce, and moving on. It was great! Moore of this please (pun intended).
At camp, they served some tea together – like in an actual tea party, not in a gossipy shit-stirring way! This took place on a boat, and of course while the teabags were steeping it started to pour down rain and everyone was forced to take cover under the table. “Safety first!” calls counselor Phaedra – who also warns them to protect their hair (lol), but they were all having fun.
Phaedra and Kenya also delivered empowering messages about love, confidence, and not giving into peer pressure, by using good friends as “courage”. Which makes Phaedra’s decision to be a no-good veryveryvery bad friend all the more hypocritical and shocking! Phaedra certainly is awash in hypocrisy – and that rain did not rinse her phony falsehoods out of her hair to reveal a halo. Instead of holier than thou, Phaedra is hypocritical-er than thou.
RELATED – Phaedra Still Won’t Take Accountability For Her Actions!
This was some serious art imitating life here at camp. Phaedra gave a whole speech about negative friendships being a distraction which leads one down bad paths – she even figuratively beat away that ‘negative friend’ with a foodle – imparting that we must rely on true friends to keep us courageous enough to do the right thing. Was she directing this at Kandi? Or herself? Because Phaedra was simultaneously spreading out and out lies about Kandi, getting all distracted by her vendetta, and not being courageous enough to admit any of it! Girllll… you need to attend your own camp summit! And find those ‘real friends’ to beat you with a foodle! It’s like Camp Phaedra is the ‘real Phaedra’ and ‘RHOA Phaedra’ is her evil doppelgänger. Or maybe it’s the other way around? And Camp Phaedra is the good twin that sometimes takes over evil twin’s body? I’m extremely perplexed.
We also saw Phaedra on a ‘date’ with her former prom date, and she seemed so relaxed and casual. Like who is this woman? Where did the scheming, conniving Ms. Parks go?
Anyway Kenya also gave a really touching talk about being abandoned by a parent, and reminding the kids that they are loved. Very sweet. The forgiveness and bonding seemed real between Kenya and Phaedra. So what happened in Maui?! Why was Phaedra so irked by the divorce party? Why not just roll with those punches and rise above as she instructed those kids to do? Practice what you preach Phaedra – literally! Actually, also practice what Jesus preaches, aka: thou shalt not lie!
Kenya sure is irritating though! In unseen footage from the glamping trip she terrorized the women by jostling the suspension bridge, even though several of them admitted they were afraid of heights. It’s because Kenya was bothered that Porsha was getting attention by taking a selfie and didn’t ask Kenya to be in the picture! Honestly, no one sane person (or Porsha) would want to be on a rickety, unstable bride with an unstable, rickety Krayonce, always needing her attention-seeking fix. Kenya and Porsha really aren’t that different, actually.
Finally we end in Maui with Porsha and Peter arguing about her accusations that he cheated on Cynthia. Peter claims Porsha completely made up this lie that he was getting frisky with 19-year-old waitresses because she was angry with Cynthia, similar to how she made up a lie about Kandi. Porsha does admit that Peter was “collateral damage” in a Housewives feud, mostly because he inserts himself – literally – into Housewives business.
Why is Peter acting as if there are no grounds to believe he would cheat when last season Cynthia discovered the viral video of him canoodling with a young woman in his club?! Really, Peter? You’re reaching for that peach but I think it’s gonna wind up being made of wax!

Dang – dastardly. Frick and Frack On The Attack!

“I just couldn’t believe that she would go that far,” says Kandi. “I know we throw shade at each other, but this is a whole new low. You can’t just do that.”
Kandi was “definitely worried” about the effect the rumors could have on Bedroom Kandi. “People already wanna make sex look like it’s something negative anyway so if you participate in anything like drugging, people won’t want to have anything to do with you.”
“You’re trying to come at me in a way where people won’t respect me anymore,” she continues. “Clearly, they [were)]just trying to say whatever to take me down.”
RELATED – Phaedra On The Warpath Over Being ‘Set-Up’?
Kandi absolutely believes Phaedra’s actions were planned out, and was Porsha only acting like the woe-is-me spurned friend she portrayed at the reunion.
“Just to be clear for everybody, the day that Porsha and I had the sit-down and were cussing each other out on the patio, we knew we were gonna have that sit-down. So she knew it was gonna be a bad conversation — so basically, y’all [Porsha and Phaedra] got together the day before you was [sic] gonna have to face me and she told you that I tried to drug you so that you could say this on national TV,” Kandi explains to V-103’s Ryan Cameron Morning Show with Wanda Smith.
Kandi says she can’t understand why Porsha would believe Phaedra’s tale, considering that Kandi and Porsha “haven’t even been hanging together in the past year.”
RELATED – Who Does Kenya Think Should Have Her Peach Revoked?
As a result of all the slander Kandi “has thought about” suing Phaedra for defamation of character. “I have to talk to my attorneys and see how they feel I should handle the situation. They told me I should sue Porsha at first [but] when it came out at the reunion that Porsha got the information from Phaedra, I said let’s hold up until they see the whole thing and I’ll get their opinion on how I should handle it.”
The holdup for Kandi is that “lawsuits are stressful” and also she’s already embroiled in the lawsuit from her former assistant Johnny. Another parting gift from her friendship with Phaedra. Man, breaking up with Phaedra is like getting an STD – the outbreaks and repercussions last forever!

Is Stephanie Hollman the only saint on Bravo? Apparently her goodness was no act for the cameras, because the Real Housewives Of Dallas star underwent surgery to donate bone marrow for a life-staving transplant. Dang, girl, I hope you get a halo in next season’s opening montage!
“Proud of this girl! @stephhollman jumped on a flight last night to undergo a bone marrow donation, potentially saving the life of a much needed recipient She’s a superhero in my books!” Stephanie’s husband Travis shared in an Instagram post.

“I couldn’t have asked for a more selfless, kind-hearted, caring wife and mother to our children. I love you baby! Please keep Steph in your thoughts and prayers as she goes under for the procedure!” Travis continued.
Stephanie added to Travis‘ post by saying she was “Blessed to be a blessing,” and thanking everyone for their thoughts and prayers.

Post-Surgery Stephanie updated everyone that the surgery went fine. “If I could give you all a big, warm hug, I would! Thank you for all the kind messages and prayers you have sent over the past 24 hours! I promise, I have read each and every one of your comments, tweets, emails, DM’s and text’s. I could not be more blessed to have such wonderful internet friends! I have the most AMAZING nurse @atucky who has taken the best care of me, I couldn’t be more appreciative! I will keep you all updated on the recovery process and share more about the process of donating bone marrow on my website soon! Love you all!”
Travis took over to describe the procedure and provide the update in another IG post. “My wonderful wife @stephhollman is in day two of her bone marrow donation. She is doing this for a complete stranger. They had to put a direct tube into her jugular and take all of the blood out of her body for two days at 5 hours each day. I am so proud of her. Keep being #mysuperhero #bonemarrowdonor #rhod #supermom.”
Happily Stephanie recovered fine and was back in Dallas to celebrate Mother’s Day with her family. I hope whomever gets that bone marrow has a lot to celebrate as well.

Phaedra claims it was production who informed her that Kandi planned to drug and rape Porsha Williams and she only repeated the claim to protect her friend. However, Phaedra believes producers planted the lie on her. Why – did they want her to get fired? Are they colluding with Apollo?

According to sources, Phaedra implicated the producers during the reunion, but Bravo sliced that from the final cut to avoid viewers learning how shady behind-the-scenes dealings are. Phaedra believes she was fired for her role in calling out production, and according to a source, feels she was unfairly targeted. She’s furious because now it looks like she completely made up the lie about Kandi out of spite!
A source close to Phaedra says she’s furious not only because she lost her bread and filthy buttermilk, but she’s allegedly being subjected to “daily threats and bullying” from viewers. Also being embroiled in the scandal has ruined her reputation. Um, really? Cause “Lies Of A Real Housewife.” Cause Apollo fraud conviction 2.0….
RELATED – Kandi On Behind-The-Scenes Fights & Friendship!
Allegedly Phaedra’s office is also getting slammed by complaints over angry fans, and Bravo is doing nothing to absolve her reputation. Even though the network and crew are well-aware that it was production, not Phaedra who is the real source of the lie.
Unfortunately Phaedra has found herself in a sticky situation – TMZ reports that although production did spill the story to Phaedra, they didn’t tell her to repeat it on camera, and therefore she’s culpable for her own actions. I’ve heard rumblings that Phaedra could be considering legal action since she’s no longer under contract with the show.
RELATED – NeNe Rails Against Shady Producers!
Rumor also has it that executive producer Carlos King planted the story with Phaedra (which she revealed on the reunion – and allegedly there was quite a blow-up between him, Kandi, and others), and he was also reportedly fired for his role in the situation. Especially since Kandi refused to return if Carlos stayed involved in the show. NeNe Leakes also reportedly quit over Bravo’s refusal to axe Carlos. He’s the producer responsible for hiring Kenya Moore, and ‘failed’ Housewife Claudia Jordan.
Shady, sh-sh-shaaaady!
Although the reunion episodes are done and over with, we still have one fresh episode left tonight: Secrets Revealed. Tune in and live-snark with us in the comments at 8/7 CST!
