JoeJoe Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Keeps it real? Joe what program are you watching? Yeah, she keep it real about Everyone else but HERSELF. When ppl call her out on her bullshit, she can't take..and she runs from the truth. She has turned into the mist hated cast member becuz ppl see how nasty and hypocritical she is. She's cocky, she think she's better than everybody. She has really turned everyone off this season cuz her true colors have shown but I seen how she was ages ago...but the rest of the world is sadly juss now catching up. I will never support or give props to a bitch who runs from her own flaws but points out everyone else. Miss me wit the delusional bullshit. You have not accomplished that much... Kandi's money is longer and she is more successful. And Nene has on the delusional visors. Somebody pray for that self centered bitch. Nene didn't lie not one time about Cynthia or Kenya.

IDK why they thought they wouldn't get caught stealing people's identities and opening up bank accounts and getting loans. Everyone gets called by some 1-800 number when they owe money lol. I'm sure plenty of people were like "I owe what?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hotboy06 Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 My take on the season/reunion show: NeNe-- I have a love/hate relationship..she's cool, but very hypocritical. She's messy, but she's still entertaining. The only thing she got right this season was the whole charity thing..Kenya could have called NeNe personally if it was in her honor..who the fuck sends an email when you could have picked up the phone..especially for a charity event. And I didn't like her attitude at the reunion show..she definitely has let "celebrity" go to her head. Kandi--I enjoyed her over the last few seasons..I wish she would just speak up to her mom..I know it's tricky because it's your mom and all, but girl. The blatant disrespect for your fiance and friends..I liked how Kandi started to stand up for herself more..she handled herself accordingly against NeNe at the reunion. But everytime she talks, it seems like she wants to cry..you can tell she's a very emotional person..but she spoke up and had valid points about NeNe and her behavior. Phaedra--I loved her last season, but this season she just didn't do much..she redeemed herself when she READ Kenya down on the reunion show. Kenya was SPEECHLESS. Cynthia--I don't have any use for her tbh..if she were not to return to the show, I wouldn't care. She tries to remain neutral, which is cool..but doesn't speak up for herself like she should. Kenya--She did bring the drama. She was entertaining..But her messy methods were as transparent as cellaphane. Kenya is insufferable. I realized it at the reunion show. She's egomaniacal..just like NeNe used to be(and kinda still is)..she's trying to become some "Queen" when she's a peasant at best. Porsha--She tried. Patricia--Girl, stay out of women business. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure plenty of people were like "I owe what?" I don't feel sorry for her at all. She knowingly married an ex con which any lawyer worth a damn will tell you is a big no no. Her read of Kenya was cute but it was also hypocritical because she ran to the prison yard to get her babies daddy so she can't talk. Plus her marriage is rocky at best, so she shouldn't be throwing it in anybody's face. Make sure you flush your own toilet before you speak on somebody elses shit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utopia Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Never watched the whole show just the reunions but that Somalia girl always got on my nerves. Glad Phaedra read her for FILTH and beyond Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

janetDAYZ Posted May 8, 2014 Author Share Posted May 8, 2014 I'm not here for you coming for Phaedra over Kenya. I'm just not here for it Right! Kenya is the one that started with Phaedra FIRST by direspecting their early "friendship" by flirting with Apollo since day numero Uno...soooo Phaedra has every single right on earth to come for Kenya...Period. So to say that Phaedra needs to examine her own backyard really doesn't matter since Kenya's action is the PRIMARY reason they fell out to begin with.

She was, is and always will be a mess! However, Phakedra is a mess as well and likes to pretend that she is better than when in reality her life is falling apart. She could have come for Kenya about a lot of things, but to come for her for about artificial insemination when she got pregnanat by a damn ex con and was lying about her pregnancy date to save face.....GURL BYE! Like i said, she's a hypocrite 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laveaux Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 Phaedra's premeditated read was cute. Kenya looked unbothered though, so Im not sure it cut as deep as Phaedra would have liked. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that was definately written beforehand. I'm not mad at her though, because if I was dealing with the shady bitches on that show i would come with some scripted shade as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jarrylf Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 Well ofcourse that shade was scripted and probably even rehearsed, Phapha was ready, scripted or not it still SLAYED, and was still lethal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeJoe Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 Bloop. and you know what? I was watching a rerun on last season when Kenya and Porsha got into it by the poolside in Anguilla a few hrs later after Peter and Cynthia renewed their vows and back then Kenya was the one being all bold and getting in Porsha's face and calling her a bitch and everything else. Now this season she wanna play victim. http://www.wetpaint.com/real-housewives-of-atlanta/video/kenya-moore-and-porsha-stewart-fight-in-anguilla-video?utm_source=twitter.com&utm_medium=share&utm_campaign=vrl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kishi Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Update: With Apollo going to jail for 8 years and Phaedra being ordered to sit down for deposition in the Angela Stanton (Apollo's partner in crime) lawsuit, Phaedra will be taking a leave of absence from season 7. I feel like Phaedra might have had something to do with Apollo's crime in the past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like Phaedra might have had something to do with Apollo's crime in the past. Wow I wonder who they're gonna replace her with. Both Kenya and Porsha are back. Apollo ain't that smart so yeah I think Phaedra may of helped him in some of his criminal past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 I hate to see Phadra go and deal with this and them kids, but I like her and I hope at some point it gets better....I have a hard time believing a woman that smart didn't know her man was into some shit that wasn't legit ....

Kishi Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 More tea from the blogs... After Angela Stanton finished her sentence, she wrote a book "Lies Of A Housewife" where she gives details about the crimes she committed with Apollo and claims Phaedra had a huge part in illegal activity. Phaedra sued Angela and VIBE Magazine (publishers for the magazine), but Phaedra hasn't shown up to any depositions. Angela filed a countersuit and Phaedra MUST show up for deposition. Here's a video of Angela explaining her side. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=45wuN3RRoJU Cynthia Bailey just had a party last week at Bar One celebrating her Ebony Magazine spread. Kandi, Todd, Peter, Kenya, and Apollo were in attendance. According to some blogs, Phaedra came for a little bit, but doesn't want to be filmed with Apollo anymore and they might be getting divorced. Apollo apparently came clean and admitted that he did indeed text Kenya first. Speaking of not wanting to be filmed with others....Nene won't film with Cynthia and Kenya. Kenya won't film with Porsha. There's going to be a lot of division. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not always about being "smart" to pull schemes...its about knowing the system. Every criminal isn't book smart. But if Phaedra had even just a smidge to do with any of this and/or knowing..she is the not so smart one. She has way more to lose than Apollo..not to mention her own credibility as a attorney 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
