Once again, I’m weeks behind (this is from January 4th) so this will be brief!

Kandi

– Soooo Todd is involved in Kandi Coated Nights as well?

– Juuuuust want her to wear clothes that fit.

– I don’t agree with Kandi blindsiding these women with this “bondage game.” No. If they want to be close to each other, then they will.  This is so stupid. I hate it.

– However, I appreciate the concept of this party. I think more women, especially married women, need to get together and have open and honest conversations about sex. There’s a lot we don’t know!

Cynthia

– I see Cynthia is about to lose more money on Peter, huh? Guys, this “spot” is atrocious. But she says she’s a visionary so…eh.

-Peter is TERRIBLE at owning a business and making it a success. This is like, the 3rd or 4th spot for Bar One (or whatever the name of his bars have been), huh?

– EH. I don’t know if this business partner thing is gonna work with them.

– PLEASEEEEEEE leave NeNe ALLLLLLL the way alone, everybody. Please. Like, for forever? ESPECIALLY Cynthia. NeNe has publicly embarrassed her multiple times and continues to go back and forth in terms of their “friendship.” No ma’am. Leave her alone, Cynthia.

NeNe

– Her manager texted her to call him?

– She said playing the wicked step-mom in Cinderella is going to be a stretch for her because she isn’t mean.

OH. NENE. GIRL. You will be JUST fine. Trust me. In fact, you probably won’t even need to learn a script.  You can improvise and all will be well.  That mean runs deep in you, Sis.

– I am SO sick of NeNe, guys. Kenya tried to give her a hug and she totally shaded her. And in THE most immature ways possible. But I thought at that little lunch…. chile. I cannot.  NeNe would have one, and I do mean ONE, time to do that to me.  She’d NEVER get the opportunity to do so again. Just wow. How rude and childish.

– Nobody is asking you to be fake (you have that down pat tho). They are only asking you to be cordial. Ugh. The nerve.

– NeNe is bipolar and rude AF and nobody should be her friend.

Claudia

– I like that when she feels a certain way (at this party with NeNe), she walks right on up and handles it then. And she isn’t catty about it, either.  She could’ve confronted NeNe, but she pulled her to the side instead.

– OMG NeNe blatantly told her that she shaded her because of who she is associated with. IS THIS MIDDLE SCHOOL!?

Phaedra

– She is trying to kill people who come close to the gate! LOL

– “No one respects me for some reason.” <— Apollo. REALLY?

– Sorry, Apollo. But when you aren’t coming home, and aren’t contributing financially, and have threatened divorce and are about to go to jail, you kinda don’t have a say in this one. *shrugs*

Kenya

– The relationship she has with her aunt is great.

– Love the white blazer/cape she has on.

Demetria

– “I dated him too.” <— OOP!!!!!!!! (did y’all see NeNe’s face when she (Gosha?) said that? LOL)

– She’s constantly repeating everything ole girl is saying. TRAGIC!

– She thinks Gosha is lying? HA HA HA HA! GIRL! Your man wasn’t claiming you for all of those 7.5-8 years! GET A CLUE!!!!! WAKE UP!

Kenya

– $5,500 a month for office space.  No hate, no shade…but HOW SWAY? I know Kenya has other business ventures, and maybe she does a lot of background projects that we don’t see…but this looks like it’s a bit much. Eh.

– “I don’t know what Nene has up her sleeve…or hoof…” <— iDied.

– At this lunch, why is she inputting on NeNe and Cynthia’s situation? That has nothing to do with her?

Kandi

– Kandi sat up here and said that Sharon said she was going to punch Mama Joyce in the face. She SAID this. OUT LOUD. IN FRONT OF Mama Joyce…and her sisters. What?

– Kandi’s play isn’t selling, huh?

– Todd says he’s not going to be around on the holidays that her mother is there, because he doesn’t want his mom around Mama Joyce. And I don’t blame him. At all. And I can’t believe Kandi is really sitting up here trying to justify telling her mom about the punching in the face statement. She said she “had” to. Girl. Bye, Kandi. Shyt’s frustrating, yo.

– Whew. Todd said he doesn’t want to be around her mother, at all. And yup. Again, don’t blame him. Her mother is evil.

I can't wait until Todd leaves Kandi. It's only a matter of time.

^^ YUP.

Phaedra

– I cannot imagine living in a household where you don’t know when/if your husband is coming home. No. Choose. Either you’re here, or you aren’t. No. This is so sad. And what Apollo doesn’t seem to understand is that not only is he missing from his wife’s presence, he’s missing from his children’s  as well. Not a good look.

– Saw some interesting reactions to Phaedra’s “black women are naturally strong” strong statement:

This thinking is killing us “@11Zette17: "Black women are survivors…we're just naturally strong and tough, and resilient…"Phaedra @RHOA”

^^ COMPLETELY agree!

@JamilahLemieux @11Zette17 @rhoa Resiliency is a myth used to deny black women compassion when we are hurting.

Cynthia

– Whoa. Cynthia has on a lot of pink.

That is all.

NeNe

– The hair.

All of the following for the hair:

– And…

I don't understand why they keep doing this "we need to learn to be cordial and friendly" shit. Y'all ain't friends. You're coworkers.

— Downtown Fury Brown (@KidFury) December 29, 2014

^^^ I. KEEP. ASKING. THE. SAME. THING.

– FIRST of all, I hate when I am blindsided. I think it’s unfair of her to invite Porsha and Kenya without letting the other know that they are going to be there. Let me make the choice to attend or not.

– Wait…why can’t she have lunch with Cynthia for a few years? I’m confused?

– And I am STILL needing to know what happened between NeNe and Cynthia.

Claudia

– Derek J doing these styles that I’ve seen ladies do on Youtube in their mama’s kitchen. And better. I hope they didn’t pay him for that.

– And what is it with these women needing her to have a certain “look” all the time?

– And when she went to meet her mother and grandmother her hair is right back to what it’s always been.

– BISH! IS THIS A FLIP PHONE!?

– She said she’s 41? I wouldn’t have guessed that.

Porsha

– Yes. Kenya was annoying. But coming out the gate calling her a bitch? No ma’am. HOWEVER, I do understand her being in a negative space after being blindsided with Kenya being there in the first place. Still…

– Porsha is showing how young she is. While, yes, Kenya was wrong in how she treated Porsha, she WAS the first one to put her hands on her.  On the other hand, I understand her wanting Kenya to acknowledge her part in the whole situation. But whatever. It *looks* like they are ready to move past it. For now.

Kenya

– You know what? I am SO SICK of these insecure women. Demetria coming up to Kenya passive aggresively addressing that picture situation? Come on.

Cynthia

– Again. Peter in the middle of ish.

Phaedra

– I understand Phaedra not wanting to talk about Apollo every single time she gets together with her girls. Kandi is trying to help, but sometimes….ya know?

– BAY. BEE. Phaedra held herself TOGETHER at this “video release” party. Apollo is an ASS y’all. At the CLUB!? Whew. Major hand claps to her. Cause I’m not so sure I would’ve been able to hold it together like that.

Claudia

– This (yellow) outfit. Is this how people walk around Atlanta everyday?

– Hmmm. She’s not getting any time, huh? Just these little spots?

– “Classy people with ratchet music is the perfect recipe for a good time.” <—- YOU BE KNOWING CLAUDIA!!!!!

Kandi

– Mama Joyce said that Kandi doesn’t appreciate the things people do for her…and hurts the people who try to help her? *looks around* UMMMM….Exactly WHO are you referring to, ma’am cause you don’t fit EITHER ONE of those categories? Ch….

– Mama Joyce. Master manipulater, Kandi. Master enabler.

Porsha

– *crickets*

Nene

– WAIT A GOT DAYUM MINUTE!!!!!!!!!

NENE!!! WTF IS THIS!?!?!

GIRL! Like WHAT!?

Where is your stylist!? Where are your friends!? Producers? Writers? Strangers? WHERE IS GREGG!? BRENT!? ANYBODY!

Are you aware that you look like a blowup doll!? NO MA’AM!

Y’all seriously. I got scared when this popped up and I reacted verbally. My word.

And who did this!?????

– Props to Nene using her platform to make moves though. Can’t hate.

The Dinner

– “I never thought you would take our damn friendship and throw it away in front of people who could care less about whether we were friends or not.” – Nene <– My goodness. This is coming from an authentic place, guys. Whew. I JUST WANT TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENED.

– Nene said (in her confessional) she wants Cynthia to understand that Cynthia has hurt her. And I think she should…just SAY that. Say, “You hurt me.” I think Nene uses every other word to try and explain how she feels, other than the ones that need to be said (a lot of us do this).

– I understand Nene’s point of view on this. Maybe because she’s FINALLY articulating it.

– All of that hot shyt Cynthia was talking was masking the fact that she misses Nene. AND THAT IS OKAY. It’s okay to miss your close friend when they suddenly aren’t’ in your life anymore. But I’m glad they (seemingly) have worked it out.

– Gosh. I love seeing this reconciliation. Love seeing sisters work it out.

Nene

– She said she doesn’t know if she and Cynthia will ever be best buddies again, and I get it.  That was a very damaging situation from Nene’s perspective and it’s going to take some time (and ALOT of awkwardness!) to get things back to “normal,” if they ever get back that way.

Cynthia

– Peter is horrible. He doesn’t understand that sometimes, grown people don’t have to hold grudges when both parties have talked and apologized? Ugh. Chastizing a woman, your WIFE, for being happy that a fight has been reconciled with someone she used to be very close with? Come on.

– Peter said he understands they are friends but HE doesn’t want to go back to that? Sir. This is a friendship between two WOMEN. MAYBE, just MAYBE, if you stopped inserting yourself into their friendship then you wouldn’t be this worn out? WTH?

– Okay, wait. Back up. So having Nene as a friend was messing up their sex life? Oh no, Cynthia. No ma’am. Your husband is happy that your friend is out of your life because he has a better wife? No no no. That’s on you, Sis.

– Peter is CHILDISH. Wow.

– It’s unfornuate (yet understandable) that she’s insecure about this fashion show. She’s such a beautiful woman.

– Aye! Leon is looking like he wants that old thang back at this fashion show! HA!

Kandi

– Todd can be kind of interesting at times. I’m just gonna leave that there.

– Of course you want to put it behind you…it’s YOUR mother who is being awful.

– Y’all. Todd’s mother came out the gate with it! “Your mama, number one…” <—- iDied.

– This is an early marriage full of tension. Whew.

– “That’s just how my mom rolls.” <—- Not okay, Kandi.

– Okay…ummmm but Todd has got to check his mom for calling Kandi’s mom a bitch. It works both ways.

Phaedra

– Derek J and these feet squeezed inside these pumps has got me WEAK.

So. It’s currently after 1am. I TOTALLY had the intention of waiting to view the newest episode until tomorrow (later today), but I just saw the preview. So. Yeah. Next!
