Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome back to the Drama Desk.
It's me Taylor Carter-Jones,and today we're going to be
talking about the RealHousewives of Atlanta, episode 9
.
There's a lot going on and I'mready to engage, are you?
So I want to start off withsaying excuse my slurred speech.
(00:26):
I've recently Invisalign Did Imention that last week?
I don't think I did so.
Here I am straightening myteeth.
This is the third time that Iladies since she went to sleep
early when they were inNashville which good move,
cynthia.
(00:51):
So we have Shamia and Kelly areat brunch lunch brunch with
Cynthia, and Kelly lets Cynthiaknow that Portia said that she
should fuck Charles yeah, saidthat she should fuck Charles,
(01:11):
yeah.
And then Shamia lets Cynthiaknow that she texted Angela just
to check in and see, like alittle vibe check and the reply
was that there's nothing more tobe said after the disrespect
that she heard them spewing atthe pool.
However, then Shamia reads offthis long paragraph that Angela
wrote.
So obviously there was more tobe said, but Angela ended it
(01:36):
with be blessed.
So that's positive, right.
And then we're talking toAngela at the Oakley estate and
she's giving Cynthia her versionof what happened that the girls
were talking shit about heroutside and she heard it.
So then she went out there toconfront them and Portia ran
(01:57):
away.
Yeah, kind of I kind of getwhere Portia's coming from, as
far as like, look, this wasn'ton the show, so I'm not going to
be here to be a part of this.
If it's not getting filmed, Idon't have any other reason to
really talk to you.
Not playing pickleball, though,just sitting on the side and,
(02:27):
okay, maybe I'll give productionthat maybe they played
pickleball and that wasn'tinteresting.
Um, maybe they tried to havethis chat whilst volleying the
ball, um, but probably not.
Also, is this still a thing in2025?
Is pickleball still a thing?
I know this was filmed in 2024,but still like, can we have a
(02:54):
Bravo ban on pickleball?
I think it's done.
I think we've kicked that canall the way down the street and,
yeah, no more pickleball.
It's whack, come on.
Um, portia said that she's notreally blaming it on the henny.
Henny actually saved the nightbecause she was about to blow
that bitch up, not angela.
(03:16):
She was not gonna blow angelaup.
Don't, don't get it twisted,but the place up.
That's what she means, um, shesays she also swears that she
doesn't know anything aboutcharles and she has no
intentions of repeating anythingthat has recently come up
either.
Catch that shade, um.
I'm kind of in love with thiswig that porsche has been
(03:36):
wearing with the bang.
Um, it's giving very 90s sitcomrealness and I'm here for it.
So, so, really, cynthia'sinvestigation has turned up the
fact that Shamia and Angelaaren't cool right now again, and
Portia and Angela aren't coolright now, and Kelly's fine.
(03:58):
So that's all we got.
Thanks, sin.
I love this little filler momentof cha-cha's birthday party.
That's p-a-w-t-y because she'sa dog.
Get it.
Um.
This dog has more cosmetic,curricular, extracurriculars, um
(04:22):
, than most women.
I know.
She gets her hair colored,which, okay, kelly did explain
that she likes to dye cha-cha,because at one point cha-cha
went missing, um, and theycouldn't find her, and so now
she dives cha-cha because thatway no one can steal her easily,
(04:43):
because you'll know that it'sCha-Cha because she's hot pink.
So, okay, I get that.
But Cha-Cha gets her haircolored, she gets massages, she
gets her nails painted, she getseyelashes, and there were a
couple other things that I thinkI missed, and it's about smooth
(05:03):
G A little over $1,000 for allof this.
That's awesome.
Go off, kelly, that you canafford this.
I love seeing the lavishlifestyle that's what like the
point of the Real Housewives,but I'm not.
I'm not so sure about theselashes.
Immediately when I saw them Ihad to pause the tape because it
looked as it.
(05:24):
I hope not, but like it.
It gave me that these lashesare just hanging on this dog's
fur and that kind of freaked meout like it was really funny,
cute, funny um, but also scaryum, and I think that these
lashes are giving animal crueltyand someone somewhere is
(05:46):
calling PETA about this.
I don't know how I feel aboutthe lashes.
Who's putting lashes on a dogLike?
Who is she paying to do this?
Who's agreeing to do this?
I need to know.
I need to do some more research.
I probably won't, but it'sinteresting.
Bert shows up and we find outthat her mom is moving in with
her, which I don't know ifBenzino Jr Approved of this or
(06:08):
not.
If you don't know who Benzinois, google him, google Benzino,
um.
If you can't just GoogleBenzino, google Benzino.
Love and hip hop, atlanta, um,and do a picture and picture,
okay, of Brit's husband whosename I don't remember and
(06:36):
Benzino, and tell me that theydon't look like.
I'll wait, they could becousins.
They might.
They're not like identicaltwins, but they're related
somehow they are.
I and he looks like a skis,they and benzino is a skis, so I
digress.
Um, so now, yeah, the mom'smoving in with her.
She has to move out of thishouse.
(06:56):
She wants to move out of thehouse, she doesn't have to.
Um, and now brit and herestranged sisters are getting
along.
Seven episodes ago they weren't.
I know that she had that littlelunch with the one sister
previously and we saw that andthat fixed things with them.
(07:17):
Question mark but okay, liketime heals all wounds, I guess.
But okay, like time heals allwounds, I guess.
So now the other sister, brut,wants the other sister, the
oldest and the youngest, I guess.
Unless Brut's the youngest, Idon't know.
I'm not following her storyEver since the nephew called her
out about the lobster.
(07:37):
I can't, I can't.
It just is giving very fake,very try hard, very.
She just doesn't fit.
She just doesn't fit and that'sall.
And uh, godspeed, brit, I wishyou the best, but like it's not
for me, it's not for me.
So now we are at miss diane'shouse, um, porsche's mom, since
(07:59):
simon the gremlin won't let herfilm in her own home and
porsche's walking up to thehouse with a little dog in her
purse, which is interesting.
Um, didn't know what was comingnext from that.
But we find out that, uh, thedog is a surprise for polar who,
I'm just realizing, is onlyfive.
She's only five.
She's so tall and she's so cute.
(08:20):
She looks just like pors.
I love little Pilar, little PJ.
She's a precious little angel.
She does not seem interested inthis dog.
She doesn't seem to give oneounce of care about this dog, I
guess.
And Miss Diane says that she'sspellbound, which I don't think
is the right word, but I couldbe wrong.
I've been wrong in the past.
(08:41):
So yeah, and then I guess Pilargets a little more interested
when she decides to name the dogPeanut Butter, which makes
sense because she's five.
Oh, peanut Butter, the dog.
I will say that for afive-year-old she's a clever
little girl because she hasmanaged to keep the P initial
(09:01):
and I admire that.
So go off PJ and peanut butter,pj and PB.
It's like peanut butter andpeanut and well, not peanut
jelly, whatever.
You know where I'm going,anyway.
So now Portia, in herconfessional, says this dog is a
placeholder for a sibling,since Pilar's around the age
(09:21):
where she's asking for one andPortia doesn't know where to buy
one of those anyway.
Um, now Portia tells us thatshe's got a court date for her
divorce, which is great.
Get rid of that man.
Um, get rid of that man.
Get rid of that man.
She's telling Miss Diane andLauren about the call that
(09:44):
changed her destiny.
My BSB fans.
Can you hear me?
Anyway, I love a reality showbecause we all know that.
She's already told her motherand her sister about trifling as
dennis lying about filming withdrew shade, like wait, come on,
come on.
She called them the next day.
She called them as soon as shegot home, and we know she didn't
just get home, so let's notplay these games, but that's,
(10:06):
that's really funny.
Um, and portia saying for themillionth time in nine episodes
that she just wanted Dennis tonot be backdoring housewives and
working with other people,because it makes no sense.
It just absolutely makes nosense.
They had an agreement, so, yeah, like she's gonna pop off on
(10:27):
him.
Yeah, she also says that shedoesn't remember saying that she
slept with charles because,okay, as she's filling in miss
diane and lauren on the call,she's also telling them about
the pool party, the after hourspool party.
Um, that angela busted up on,uh, yeah, she says she doesn't
(10:50):
remember saying anything abouther wanting to not wanting to,
but saying that she would sleepwith charles.
But maybe she did call angelabig bird, which I don't get, and
maybe they explained it, but Imissed it.
But, um, big bird and angelathere's.
I don't see the correlation.
But, okay, we get a nice littlemoment with shamia and her new
(11:13):
surrogate, asha.
I'm living for shamia's tunic.
Um, it's very muchcomplimenting her gorgeous skin.
I love, I love, I love, I loveshamia, she's great, um, and I
like that.
She's sharing what's going on,like health-wise with her family
.
Like she's giving everythingthat you would want to get from
a housewife, minus the fact thatGerald, gerald won't come on
(11:36):
camera.
Gerald honey loves a FaceTime.
He will FaceTime every episode,but he don't want to be on
screen.
Okay, that's fine, I guess, ifwe can get all of this
information Shamia's giving.
She's uh, she's funny, she'switty.
She's got a lot to say in theconfessionals.
She's got a lot to say, uh,when she's with the girls, she's
(11:57):
moving storyline.
Um, yeah, shamia, she can't doany wrong for me right now.
I think that she is the currentMVP changed my mind, I dare you
.
Um.
So, yeah, we meet Asha, the newsurrogate.
We're hoping for a new baby, aboy, because Gerald wants one.
(12:20):
We've talked about this, um,and also this lavender
confessional look, I am living.
The hair, the makeup, the waythe dress is giving orchid on my
chest, I, giving orchid on mychest, I.
And then when they do the fullpan out of uh, and you can see
the bottom of the dress,gorgeous Shamia turns across the
board.
Baby, uh.
(12:42):
We're back at the Oakley estate,um, and Angela's filling
Charles in on what happened inNashville because, again, she
definitely hasn't spoken to herhusband and told him what
happened in Nashville.
Until now, when they'repretending to work out together,
it looks like they never dothis.
Maybe they've done it twicebefore in their 10 years of
marriage, maybe 10.
I'll give them once a year.
I didn't eat this.
(13:04):
They could have really doneanything else.
I could have been back in thekitchen, but I guess they've
exercised that kitchen enough.
So Charles agrees that Angeladidn't have any business
inviting Drew to Nashville.
He would have never done someshit like that, he said.
And then Angela tells Charlesabout asking Portia why she took
(13:26):
that lady's husband, and hedoes say.
Who told her that Portia tooksomebody's husband?
And Angela said the streets,the streets are talking to the
streets.
No, Um, and he said that's theworst person to talk to is the
streets.
Don't talk to those streets,especially in front of other
people.
They'll think you're crazy.
Talking to a damn street.
No, I'm just kidding, I knowwhat they mean.
(13:46):
Um, but yeah, he says thatAngela should have stayed in her
lane, which I completely agree,uh, since it had nothing to do
with her and it really hadnothing to do with the
conversation at the dinner tableat the moment.
But you know, people love todeflect.
That's what happens.
Um, yeah, but yeah, charles,charles, you're right, you got
(14:06):
your good cap on, you got theright brain on today.
I love it.
Go, go ahead, charles.
And Angela tells Charles thatthe girls say well, when the
girls were out at the pooltalking shit that they had said
that he was messing with somegirl in New York, and Portia
said she could fuck Charles.
He said, well, she can't.
I think Portia might could.
I think Portia might could, butthat's just me.
(14:28):
Say what you need to say,charles.
And he wants a ticket to theshow that's about to go down,
because Angela mentions thatshe'll be going to the Bailey Q
and she hasn't seen the girlssince Nashville.
So it's been a minute, which,hello, just comes to show you
that you've obviously talked toCharles about this already.
But no, I get it, it's a show,this is what we do.
(14:50):
I go, it's all right, it's fine, I like it, I'm gonna keep
watching, obvi.
So now we're at the au pairparty, the welcoming for
portia's new au pair, back atmiss diane's um, where the au
pair is not going to live, butthey do give her a tour, or they
say that they're gonna give hera a tour, but I'm moving ahead.
Um.
So yeah, new au pair from SouthAfrica who's going to be living
(15:13):
between Dennis and Portia'shomes.
So Dennis shows up to meet theau pair.
Because of this he doesn't knowwhat an au pair is, um, which,
okay, I mean, I get that.
I guess not.
Not everybody knows who that is, but he does think it's French
and he is correct when he saysthat.
So Dennis is telling Portia'sconfessional Um.
(15:34):
And yeah, he started talkingabout the au pair and how he
doesn't know what an au pair isand that that'll be helpful for
Portia when she wants to sneakout for her adult time, and she
makes a shocked face.
But, um, but as a single mom, I, yeah, hello, sign me up, get
(15:55):
me an au pair so I can sneak outand do whatever I want, and by
that I mean go eat a meal alonewithout being bothered, that's
it.
So the au pair comes in and shegets a whole welcome set up and
gifts, and she talks about howshe loves reading and she has
some friends in Atlanta.
So that's exciting.
(16:15):
Maybe we'll see her again,maybe we won't.
I don't think they even told uswhat her name is.
No, they might have, they hadto have, they had to have, but
it doesn't really matter.
Dennis asks for some boozebefore this organic chat that
he's about to have with Portiaabout Filmgate, as if this
hasn't been rehearsed.
Um, and Dennis says that hewasn't filming, he was just at
(16:38):
the studio and cameras happenedto be there.
Cute, that's cute, dennis, butDrew isn't signed with him
anymore, allegedly.
And um, portia does this thingthat don't know.
It gives very fake to me and Icannot say enough I love Portia.
I love Portia so much.
But she starts reading sometext message that is supposed to
(17:02):
prove that Drew tried to sleepwith Dennis, but it only says,
like all you had to do was sayyeah, but that's not enough
receipt, honey.
And if it was enough receipt,we all know the production would
have put that screenshot up onthe screen and they didn't.
So it just seems silly,whatever, let kind of let that
(17:26):
go.
I at this point Nothing,nothing, nothing proven, no.
What's funny is at the end ofPortia's little confessional in
this scene, that Dennis tries tokiss Portia.
And I don't know about y'all,but I, I feel an energy.
I feel an energy there.
(17:47):
Get back together, guys, getback together.
I'm just kidding, though,because Dennis is a liar and a
cheater and he's gross and youcan't really trust someone after
that.
But maybe she can Do youPorsche, do you Boo?
Okay.
So my least favorite scene ofall um, we're at Britt's mom's
house and she's packing up thescene.
The scene is done.
(18:07):
I don't care about Britt.
She lost me.
She lost me at the lobster, shelost me at the pistol.
She lost me when we lost Kenya.
Um, yes, kenya did what she did, right.
But anyway, I'm holding thisagainst Britt, kind of.
Um, not really, I'm not holding, even without that right, like
(18:32):
I still.
I still don't like Britt.
She's not bringing anything tothe table.
I don't, I'm not here for her,I'm just not.
It's over for me.
She needs to go.
So the sister and the mom getinto it and we're supposed to
believe that Britt is the familymediator, but it's clearly the
grandma.
However, from this we do learnwhere Britt gets her pop off.
(18:53):
Okay, so now Tiara, who is theoldest sister, is on FaceTime,
and Cher, who is either theyoungest or the middle sister, I
can't recall.
They're in a conversation andyelling starts happening, kind
of Not yelling, but Cher getsreal loud about not answering
phone calls, and then there aretears and it's just a lot.
(19:16):
It's a lot on FaceTime, butthey're I mean, they're giving
emotions, and that's good.
Britt doesn't really do thatoutside of anger, so.
But the highlight of the sceneis the grandma who checks them
all and tells them to stopfussing and acting like fools
all the time.
Amen, grandma, hallelujah,bring grandma back.
(19:38):
I would rather watch grandma umthan watch phony macaroni brit.
But that's just me.
So so now the piece deresistance, what we've all been
waiting for.
We're at the Bailey queue andMel, you see Mel for the first
time.
Hey Mel, hey, I love Mel.
Um, I also appreciate the factthat the Bailey queue is now
(20:01):
being hosted on Juneteenthinstead of the 4th of July,
because, well, yeah, ray showsup, the intuitive life
strategist.
Now, earlier in the episode,cynthia said that she was a
prophet and she goes back andforth between calling her a
prophet.
Well, no, she doesn't really goback and forth, she
continuously calls her a prophet.
But when they put her littlename card on the bottom of the
(20:24):
screen, it says that she's anintuitive life strategist.
So I guess that that is thesynonym for profit.
Anyway, we've got Dr Leaf, drNatasha Leaf.
She tells Brit that she's beenchoosing other people for so
long and now she needs to chooseherself, which fits in with her
(20:44):
storyline.
So that works.
Kelly arrives with her publicistLamont and she's got bamboo
earrings in her hair.
At least 12th there.
Angela arrives looking gorge inthe yellow, I must say.
And the face that Brit giveswhen Angela walks in, I can't.
Dr Leith calls out that Kelly'sex sold her G-Wagon.
(21:07):
That had been a 10-yearanniversary gift.
We're upset about it.
He's a bad man he is.
But yeah, shamia comes in fullAfrican garb and I live for her
Kenyan wolf moment it's giving.
Also, also, what's giving thefood?
The food looks amazing.
(21:28):
I wish I was there and that'ssaying a lot, um, compared to
those plastic grapes thatcynthia once tried to serve at
lake bailey, if you know.
You know?
Um, dr leith tells angela thatshe's too consumed with work and
she needs to bring sexy back toher man to her home.
(21:52):
Um, angela says they're good,and then Charles's love language
is cleaning up the damn house.
Um, okay, not to get too aheadof myself, but from the preview
it looks like troubles afoot andmaybe Dr Leith, the prophet,
the intuitive life strategist,is correct, but maybe not.
So, after this Brit kind ofpops off, um, oh, I'm getting
(22:17):
ahead of myself.
Dr Leith then, uh, is asking whohas a Porsche, and Angela says
her husband has an eye, has hiseye on a Porsche.
So, of course, in moving thestory along fashion, shamia says
wait, he has his eyes on aPorsche and not Porsche.
Right, it was funny,inappropriately placed, but it
(22:41):
was funny.
No, I guess it wasappropriately placed.
When else would she have saidthat?
So, yeah, so then, of course,at that moment, portia and
Lauren show up and they makePortia sit next to Angela until
Dr Leith wants to talk to Portia, and then Portia gets to move
(23:08):
and says we all know that, hellomedia, hello blogs.
She does say that there will bea point where Portia and Simon
can be friends, which I hope so,because little five-year-old
Pilar wants to talk to Simon andhe won't talk to her.
I hope that they I don't know.
I hope that that gets.
I hope that they can be friends.
I hope that things get figuredout if they need to be friends
for the sake of Pilar and herwanting that man in her life or
(23:29):
whatever.
But yeah, he seems like a pieceof shit.
So, pilar, baby, you don't needhim.
You don't need him, honey.
Now Drew shows up and Dr Leesays she needs to talk to her in
private, since Drew doesn'twant to share, of course,
because if there's any honestyinvolved, drew ain't about that
life.
Then Britt lights right intoAngela.
So here we go.
(23:49):
I'd gotten ahead of myself.
But here we go, brit lightsright into Angela and she's
yelling already about readingher lips.
I do not understand the wordsthat are coming out of my mouth,
because we've all seen RushHour mouth, because we've all
seen rush hour like get your ownlines.
(24:09):
At least these other women havetheir own witty lines I, I, I'm
so sorry, I can't, I'm notsorry, I can't with brit, um.
So then she's yelling aboutthis, uh.
And then angela tells her thatshe has stretch marks around her
mouth.
And then we get to the miles onthe mouth comment, which I think
is hilarious Angela, go off,sis.
(24:30):
That is very, very funny.
I've never heard anybody saythat.
I thought it was hilarious.
I hope to use that in my future.
Um so, uh.
And then we get to Brit standingup.
Brit now is standing up, um,which is so unnecessary.
She said you had miles on yourmouth and now you're standing up
(24:52):
, as I'm going to show you wherethe stretch marks are.
Girl, sit down, sit down.
You could easily be saying thisI was sitting on your bottom
and not standing up like youwere about to do something
because you're not going to doanything, even though I know
she's not going to do anything.
Right?
My first thought is where'sMona Scott?
Where's Mona Scott at?
And I hope that by now she'scalled her and we've started the
(25:16):
transition process so thatBritt can be somewhere where she
feels a little more at home, alittle more comfortable and
scoot Mia Thornton right in nextseason, please, because, though
Miss Mia is a lot of drama, miabe lying sometimes, right, she
did throw that cup.
She did throw that cup that onetime in Miami, but aside from
(25:36):
that, I don't really worry aboutphysical violence with her.
I think that Brit is draggingthis show down.
In my opinion.
That's how I feel.
It's hard.
It's hard to be representingand no matter what anybody says
as an all-black ensemble, um,cast like they are representing
(25:56):
black women.
They are, and so is theirbehavior.
That's just how it is.
Um, we can't get away with that, we can't.
So when you are acting likethat you, I don't, she's just
dragging down the show.
Yeah, atlanta has fights.
They've always had fights.
People do stand up.
They rah, rah, finger pointing,all of that, but it's never
(26:17):
been escalated to where I, whereBrit is going Like it.
It gets too hot, too quick andyou keep a gun, and you've done
interviews where you talk aboutyou do keep a gun outside of the
show.
So I just I don't like it, it'snot, it's.
I can't say 20 more times.
I can actually say it, but Iwill try not to say 20 more
(26:39):
times.
It's not for me.
It's not for me.
Now, shamia's reaction phase.
That is for me.
It is everything.
And if you don't know what I'mtalking about, I need you to go
to Peacock or your DVR, okay,and you need to go to about
minute 33, 50 seconds, and for agood 10 seconds Shamia's jaw
(27:02):
and grill are dropped honey.
Angela calls Bert a whore, andthough I clearly am not a Bert
fan, I think Angela's moreclever than that.
You could have come harder thanthat.
That was weak.
You're wittier than that.
Now stop.
You just told the girl she hasmiles on her mouth.
Stick, keep it up.
Inch, keep it up, keep it up.
(27:26):
Drew's hiding in the kitchentalking about the ancestors
being embarrassed, which is whatI just said.
Um, so for the first time ever,I agree with drew.
Telly looks like she's about toscoot on out.
She's at the edge of the couchlooking for her security.
Um, and then, my god, britbrings up this alleged side baby
, to which no one pays muchattention to.
Shamia talks about it in herconfessional, but that doesn't
(27:47):
mean anything because it's notin the group.
Hopefully this comes back upbecause it keeps.
This is the second episode thatthey've discussed this and this
is the first episode that it'sbeen out loud, um, amongst all
women, and nothing really issaid about it.
So I need to know more.
I need to know more.
(28:10):
Cynthia starts ringing a bell toget these goons in check and
wants them to do some Juneteenthtrivia, which I appreciate,
cynthia, but this does lead to aflashback of Portia talking
about how the undergroundrailroad was really an
underground train.
People don't forget, baby, theyjust don't.
(28:30):
So Cynthia takes Portia andAngela to the profit room, which
honestly I appreciate, becausenothing will be solved with the
peanut gallery involved at all,but they're not going to be able
to get past anything.
Um, if they are going to getpast it, it's not.
It's not going to happen withthe other girls, especially
Britt, popping off at her mouth.
(28:51):
Portia says that the fuckingCharles thing was a stupid
comment and she shouldn't havemade it, or maybe she should
have, but either way, she'ssorry.
Since Angela heard it, let's beclear.
That's why she's sorry and itwas inappropriate of her to have
been having so much fun.
And then Angela hits her withthe famous housewives quote if I
(29:14):
offended you which means Ireally don't give a fuck, um, so
if I offended you about yourhusband.
She apologizes.
Portia says ditto.
She hits her with an if Ioffended you, so they might move
forward.
They might move forward.
They apologized, I like that.
And then Shamia's turn post-textgate.
(29:34):
She wants some closure withAngela.
So she sits down with Angelajust by herself, and Angela
feels like, as a married woman,shamia should have checked her
friend.
Yeah, yeah, I think that ifthat was my friend, I probably
would have been like girl, likethat's not right, like that's
not funny.
But I also think that theydidn't think that Angela was
listening.
So I feel like if they'd allbeen together, um, and Portia
(30:00):
said that to Angela, maybeShamia would have said something
.
But I just think that, becausethey were just like playing
around, weren't thinking aboutit, really, that Shamia didn't
say anything to her, I reallythink Shamia would have checked
her.
I hope so.
I think so.
Yeah, because that was messedup.
To say so yeah, they agree todisagree.
(30:25):
Shamia says that she likes tolaugh.
She just likes to laugh, that'sall.
She laughed at her uncle'sfuneral Interesting.
But she does explain it thatthey had him dressed up and he'd
never gone to church and helooked like a pastor.
But yeah, I think there's hopefor these ladies.
So yeah, so yeah.
(30:52):
So we get our halfway trailer.
Very exciting, very exciting.
(31:16):
Not that I wasn't excited forthe rest of the season, because
so far it's been chef's kiss andI don't see it going downhill
from here Like before all ofthis.
When Kenya left and they werescrambling, I like before when
they were in production and weheard about Kenya leaving, I was
worried.
But let me tell you somethingthey pulled it together.
It is, this is everything.
This is one of the best seasonfor me.
This is a really great seasonof Atlanta.
It's been a minute since Icould say that.
So yeah, frickin' Frack areback.
Bitch, frickin' Frack are back.
I don't know how I really feelabout frickin' Frack, but we'll
(31:39):
see.
We'll see how it plays out.
Bravo has slow burned Phaedraback into our lives in phases
and it's been working.
People are forgetting that shehad that whole situation with
Candy and lying and rapeallegations.
(32:01):
But okay, ricket's left out ofsomething, not quite sure what
it is, I guess maybe it'swhatever pool event that they're
at.
But I'm here for it, and so isAngela.
Now Kelly and Britt are gettinginto it.
I can't wait to find out why.
I wonder if it's because of theevent that they're at the pool,
(32:23):
but I'm team Kelly, so I don'tcare.
Um, and Britt calls Kelly atroll, which I don't like at all
.
That's rude.
She can't help how short she is.
You're disgusting.
Um, angela spills to Portiathat Shamia has said she and
Portia have a lopsidedfriendship.
Um, my takeaway from this it'sgood to see that Angela and
(32:44):
Portia are getting along.
We know in real time that Shamiaand Portia aren't necessarily
at odds, but they're not asclose as they once were, so
can't wait to find out more.
Ralph locked Drew out of theirhome, which is disgusting.
I'm not shocked.
He's gross.
He's a sad excuse of a man anda father and yeah, I hate Ralph.
(33:09):
Portia and Drew are arguingover who is dating who, and
Portia's not saying who Drew isdating, but then Drew comes out
to say that Portia is was datingFuture, so clearly they're
still not friends, got it?
Charles doesn't wear a weddingband, full stop, uh.
And then we have some man whowe don't see, who says that
(33:32):
charles is cheating currentlywell, not currently, but during
filming.
Um, and charles is not therefor it.
Okay, he's at an event and he'spopping off.
And I can't wait, I can't wait.
I'm looking forward to the restof the season.
Obviously, I hope you are too.
I can't understand if you'renot, but if you're not, tell me
about it.
So, yeah, keep listening, tellall of your friends and follow
(33:56):
me on Instagram at the dramadesk Ciao.
Welcome back to the Drama Desk.
It's me Taylor Carter-Jones,and today we're going to be
talking about the RealHousewives of Atlanta, episode 9
.
There's a lot going on and I'mready to engage, are you?
So I want to start off withsaying excuse my slurred speech.
(00:26):
I've recently Invisalign Did Imention that last week?
I don't think I did so.
Here I am straightening myteeth.
This is the third time that Iladies since she went to sleep
early when they were inNashville which good move,
cynthia.
(00:51):
So we have Shamia and Kelly areat brunch lunch brunch with
Cynthia, and Kelly lets Cynthiaknow that Portia said that she
should fuck Charles yeah, saidthat she should fuck Charles,
(01:11):
yeah.
And then Shamia lets Cynthiaknow that she texted Angela just
to check in and see, like alittle vibe check and the reply
was that there's nothing more tobe said after the disrespect
that she heard them spewing atthe pool.
However, then Shamia reads offthis long paragraph that Angela
wrote.
So obviously there was more tobe said, but Angela ended it
(01:36):
with be blessed.
So that's positive, right.
And then we're talking toAngela at the Oakley estate and
she's giving Cynthia her versionof what happened that the girls
were talking shit about heroutside and she heard it.
So then she went out there toconfront them and Portia ran
(01:57):
away.
Yeah, kind of I kind of getwhere Portia's coming from, as
far as like, look, this wasn'ton the show, so I'm not going to
be here to be a part of this.
If it's not getting filmed, Idon't have any other reason to
really talk to you.
Not playing pickleball, though,just sitting on the side and,
(02:27):
okay, maybe I'll give productionthat maybe they played
pickleball and that wasn'tinteresting.
Um, maybe they tried to havethis chat whilst volleying the
ball, um, but probably not.
Also, is this still a thing in2025?
Is pickleball still a thing?
I know this was filmed in 2024,but still like, can we have a
(02:54):
Bravo ban on pickleball?
I think it's done.
I think we've kicked that canall the way down the street and,
yeah, no more pickleball.
It's whack, come on.
Um, portia said that she's notreally blaming it on the henny.
Henny actually saved the nightbecause she was about to blow
that bitch up, not angela.
(03:16):
She was not gonna blow angelaup.
Don't, don't get it twisted,but the place up.
That's what she means, um, shesays she also swears that she
doesn't know anything aboutcharles and she has no
intentions of repeating anythingthat has recently come up
either.
Catch that shade, um.
I'm kind of in love with thiswig that porsche has been
(03:36):
wearing with the bang.
Um, it's giving very 90s sitcomrealness and I'm here for it.
So, so, really, cynthia'sinvestigation has turned up the
fact that Shamia and Angelaaren't cool right now again, and
Portia and Angela aren't coolright now, and Kelly's fine.
(03:58):
So that's all we got.
Thanks, sin.
I love this little filler momentof cha-cha's birthday party.
That's p-a-w-t-y because she'sa dog.
Get it.
Um.
This dog has more cosmetic,curricular, extracurriculars, um
(04:22):
, than most women.
I know.
She gets her hair colored,which, okay, kelly did explain
that she likes to dye cha-cha,because at one point cha-cha
went missing, um, and theycouldn't find her, and so now
she dives cha-cha because thatway no one can steal her easily,
(04:43):
because you'll know that it'sCha-Cha because she's hot pink.
So, okay, I get that.
But Cha-Cha gets her haircolored, she gets massages, she
gets her nails painted, she getseyelashes, and there were a
couple other things that I thinkI missed, and it's about smooth
(05:03):
G A little over $1,000 for allof this.
That's awesome.
Go off, kelly, that you canafford this.
I love seeing the lavishlifestyle that's what like the
point of the Real Housewives,but I'm not.
I'm not so sure about theselashes.
Immediately when I saw them Ihad to pause the tape because it
looked as it.
(05:24):
I hope not, but like it.
It gave me that these lashesare just hanging on this dog's
fur and that kind of freaked meout like it was really funny,
cute, funny um, but also scaryum, and I think that these
lashes are giving animal crueltyand someone somewhere is
(05:46):
calling PETA about this.
I don't know how I feel aboutthe lashes.
Who's putting lashes on a dogLike?
Who is she paying to do this?
Who's agreeing to do this?
I need to know.
I need to do some more research.
I probably won't, but it'sinteresting.
Bert shows up and we find outthat her mom is moving in with
her, which I don't know ifBenzino Jr Approved of this or
(06:08):
not.
If you don't know who Benzinois, google him, google Benzino,
um.
If you can't just GoogleBenzino, google Benzino.
Love and hip hop, atlanta, um,and do a picture and picture,
okay, of Brit's husband whosename I don't remember and
(06:36):
Benzino, and tell me that theydon't look like.
I'll wait, they could becousins.
They might.
They're not like identicaltwins, but they're related
somehow they are.
I and he looks like a skis,they and benzino is a skis, so I
digress.
Um, so now, yeah, the mom'smoving in with her.
She has to move out of thishouse.
(06:56):
She wants to move out of thehouse, she doesn't have to.
Um, and now brit and herestranged sisters are getting
along.
Seven episodes ago they weren't.
I know that she had that littlelunch with the one sister
previously and we saw that andthat fixed things with them.
(07:17):
Question mark but okay, liketime heals all wounds, I guess.
But okay, like time heals allwounds, I guess.
So now the other sister, brut,wants the other sister, the
oldest and the youngest, I guess.
Unless Brut's the youngest, Idon't know.
I'm not following her storyEver since the nephew called her
out about the lobster.
(07:37):
I can't, I can't.
It just is giving very fake,very try hard, very.
She just doesn't fit.
She just doesn't fit and that'sall.
And uh, godspeed, brit, I wishyou the best, but like it's not
for me, it's not for me.
So now we are at miss diane'shouse, um, porsche's mom, since
(07:59):
simon the gremlin won't let herfilm in her own home and
porsche's walking up to thehouse with a little dog in her
purse, which is interesting.
Um, didn't know what was comingnext from that.
But we find out that, uh, thedog is a surprise for polar who,
I'm just realizing, is onlyfive.
She's only five.
She's so tall and she's so cute.
(08:20):
She looks just like pors.
I love little Pilar, little PJ.
She's a precious little angel.
She does not seem interested inthis dog.
She doesn't seem to give oneounce of care about this dog, I
guess.
And Miss Diane says that she'sspellbound, which I don't think
is the right word, but I couldbe wrong.
I've been wrong in the past.
(08:41):
So yeah, and then I guess Pilargets a little more interested
when she decides to name the dogPeanut Butter, which makes
sense because she's five.
Oh, peanut Butter, the dog.
I will say that for afive-year-old she's a clever
little girl because she hasmanaged to keep the P initial
(09:01):
and I admire that.
So go off PJ and peanut butter,pj and PB.
It's like peanut butter andpeanut and well, not peanut
jelly, whatever.
You know where I'm going,anyway.
So now Portia, in herconfessional, says this dog is a
placeholder for a sibling,since Pilar's around the age
(09:21):
where she's asking for one andPortia doesn't know where to buy
one of those anyway.
Um, now Portia tells us thatshe's got a court date for her
divorce, which is great.
Get rid of that man.
Um, get rid of that man.
Get rid of that man.
She's telling Miss Diane andLauren about the call that
(09:44):
changed her destiny.
My BSB fans.
Can you hear me?
Anyway, I love a reality showbecause we all know that.
She's already told her motherand her sister about trifling as
dennis lying about filming withdrew shade, like wait, come on,
come on.
She called them the next day.
She called them as soon as shegot home, and we know she didn't
just get home, so let's notplay these games, but that's,
(10:06):
that's really funny.
Um, and portia saying for themillionth time in nine episodes
that she just wanted Dennis tonot be backdoring housewives and
working with other people,because it makes no sense.
It just absolutely makes nosense.
They had an agreement, so, yeah, like she's gonna pop off on
(10:27):
him.
Yeah, she also says that shedoesn't remember saying that she
slept with charles because,okay, as she's filling in miss
diane and lauren on the call,she's also telling them about
the pool party, the after hourspool party.
Um, that angela busted up on,uh, yeah, she says she doesn't
(10:50):
remember saying anything abouther wanting to not wanting to,
but saying that she would sleepwith charles.
But maybe she did call angelabig bird, which I don't get, and
maybe they explained it, but Imissed it.
But, um, big bird and angelathere's.
I don't see the correlation.
But, okay, we get a nice littlemoment with shamia and her new
(11:13):
surrogate, asha.
I'm living for shamia's tunic.
Um, it's very muchcomplimenting her gorgeous skin.
I love, I love, I love, I loveshamia, she's great, um, and I
like that.
She's sharing what's going on,like health-wise with her family
.
Like she's giving everythingthat you would want to get from
a housewife, minus the fact thatGerald, gerald won't come on
(11:36):
camera.
Gerald honey loves a FaceTime.
He will FaceTime every episode,but he don't want to be on
screen.
Okay, that's fine, I guess, ifwe can get all of this
information Shamia's giving.
She's uh, she's funny, she'switty.
She's got a lot to say in theconfessionals.
She's got a lot to say, uh,when she's with the girls, she's
(11:57):
moving storyline.
Um, yeah, shamia, she can't doany wrong for me right now.
I think that she is the currentMVP changed my mind, I dare you
.
Um.
So, yeah, we meet Asha, the newsurrogate.
We're hoping for a new baby, aboy, because Gerald wants one.
(12:20):
We've talked about this, um,and also this lavender
confessional look, I am living.
The hair, the makeup, the waythe dress is giving orchid on my
chest, I, giving orchid on mychest, I.
And then when they do the fullpan out of uh, and you can see
the bottom of the dress,gorgeous Shamia turns across the
board.
Baby, uh.
(12:42):
We're back at the Oakley estate,um, and Angela's filling
Charles in on what happened inNashville because, again, she
definitely hasn't spoken to herhusband and told him what
happened in Nashville.
Until now, when they'repretending to work out together,
it looks like they never dothis.
Maybe they've done it twicebefore in their 10 years of
marriage, maybe 10.
I'll give them once a year.
I didn't eat this.
(13:04):
They could have really doneanything else.
I could have been back in thekitchen, but I guess they've
exercised that kitchen enough.
So Charles agrees that Angeladidn't have any business
inviting Drew to Nashville.
He would have never done someshit like that, he said.
And then Angela tells Charlesabout asking Portia why she took
(13:26):
that lady's husband, and hedoes say.
Who told her that Portia tooksomebody's husband?
And Angela said the streets,the streets are talking to the
streets.
No, Um, and he said that's theworst person to talk to is the
streets.
Don't talk to those streets,especially in front of other
people.
They'll think you're crazy.
Talking to a damn street.
No, I'm just kidding, I knowwhat they mean.
(13:46):
Um, but yeah, he says thatAngela should have stayed in her
lane, which I completely agree,uh, since it had nothing to do
with her and it really hadnothing to do with the
conversation at the dinner tableat the moment.
But you know, people love todeflect.
That's what happens.
Um, yeah, but yeah, charles,charles, you're right, you got
(14:06):
your good cap on, you got theright brain on today.
I love it.
Go, go ahead, charles.
And Angela tells Charles thatthe girls say well, when the
girls were out at the pooltalking shit that they had said
that he was messing with somegirl in New York, and Portia
said she could fuck Charles.
He said, well, she can't.
I think Portia might could.
I think Portia might could, butthat's just me.
(14:28):
Say what you need to say,charles.
And he wants a ticket to theshow that's about to go down,
because Angela mentions thatshe'll be going to the Bailey Q
and she hasn't seen the girlssince Nashville.
So it's been a minute, which,hello, just comes to show you
that you've obviously talked toCharles about this already.
But no, I get it, it's a show,this is what we do.
(14:50):
I go, it's all right, it's fine, I like it, I'm gonna keep
watching, obvi.
So now we're at the au pairparty, the welcoming for
portia's new au pair, back atmiss diane's um, where the au
pair is not going to live, butthey do give her a tour, or they
say that they're gonna give hera a tour, but I'm moving ahead.
Um.
So yeah, new au pair from SouthAfrica who's going to be living
(15:13):
between Dennis and Portia'shomes.
So Dennis shows up to meet theau pair.
Because of this he doesn't knowwhat an au pair is, um, which,
okay, I mean, I get that.
I guess not.
Not everybody knows who that is, but he does think it's French
and he is correct when he saysthat.
So Dennis is telling Portia'sconfessional Um.
(15:34):
And yeah, he started talkingabout the au pair and how he
doesn't know what an au pair isand that that'll be helpful for
Portia when she wants to sneakout for her adult time, and she
makes a shocked face.
But, um, but as a single mom, I, yeah, hello, sign me up, get
(15:55):
me an au pair so I can sneak outand do whatever I want, and by
that I mean go eat a meal alonewithout being bothered, that's
it.
So the au pair comes in and shegets a whole welcome set up and
gifts, and she talks about howshe loves reading and she has
some friends in Atlanta.
So that's exciting.
(16:15):
Maybe we'll see her again,maybe we won't.
I don't think they even told uswhat her name is.
No, they might have, they hadto have, they had to have, but
it doesn't really matter.
Dennis asks for some boozebefore this organic chat that
he's about to have with Portiaabout Filmgate, as if this
hasn't been rehearsed.
Um, and Dennis says that hewasn't filming, he was just at
(16:38):
the studio and cameras happenedto be there.
Cute, that's cute, dennis, butDrew isn't signed with him
anymore, allegedly.
And um, portia does this thingthat don't know.
It gives very fake to me and Icannot say enough I love Portia.
I love Portia so much.
But she starts reading sometext message that is supposed to
(17:02):
prove that Drew tried to sleepwith Dennis, but it only says,
like all you had to do was sayyeah, but that's not enough
receipt, honey.
And if it was enough receipt,we all know the production would
have put that screenshot up onthe screen and they didn't.
So it just seems silly,whatever, let kind of let that
(17:26):
go.
I at this point Nothing,nothing, nothing proven, no.
What's funny is at the end ofPortia's little confessional in
this scene, that Dennis tries tokiss Portia.
And I don't know about y'all,but I, I feel an energy.
I feel an energy there.
(17:47):
Get back together, guys, getback together.
I'm just kidding, though,because Dennis is a liar and a
cheater and he's gross and youcan't really trust someone after
that.
But maybe she can Do youPorsche, do you Boo?
Okay.
So my least favorite scene ofall um, we're at Britt's mom's
house and she's packing up thescene.
The scene is done.
(18:07):
I don't care about Britt.
She lost me.
She lost me at the lobster, shelost me at the pistol.
She lost me when we lost Kenya.
Um, yes, kenya did what she did, right.
But anyway, I'm holding thisagainst Britt, kind of.
Um, not really, I'm not holding, even without that right, like
(18:32):
I still.
I still don't like Britt.
She's not bringing anything tothe table.
I don't, I'm not here for her,I'm just not.
It's over for me.
She needs to go.
So the sister and the mom getinto it and we're supposed to
believe that Britt is the familymediator, but it's clearly the
grandma.
However, from this we do learnwhere Britt gets her pop off.
(18:53):
Okay, so now Tiara, who is theoldest sister, is on FaceTime,
and Cher, who is either theyoungest or the middle sister, I
can't recall.
They're in a conversation andyelling starts happening, kind
of Not yelling, but Cher getsreal loud about not answering
phone calls, and then there aretears and it's just a lot.
(19:16):
It's a lot on FaceTime, butthey're I mean, they're giving
emotions, and that's good.
Britt doesn't really do thatoutside of anger, so.
But the highlight of the sceneis the grandma who checks them
all and tells them to stopfussing and acting like fools
all the time.
Amen, grandma, hallelujah,bring grandma back.
(19:38):
I would rather watch grandma umthan watch phony macaroni brit.
But that's just me.
So so now the piece deresistance, what we've all been
waiting for.
We're at the Bailey queue andMel, you see Mel for the first
time.
Hey Mel, hey, I love Mel.
Um, I also appreciate the factthat the Bailey queue is now
(20:01):
being hosted on Juneteenthinstead of the 4th of July,
because, well, yeah, ray showsup, the intuitive life
strategist.
Now, earlier in the episode,cynthia said that she was a
prophet and she goes back andforth between calling her a
prophet.
Well, no, she doesn't really goback and forth, she
continuously calls her a prophet.
But when they put her littlename card on the bottom of the
(20:24):
screen, it says that she's anintuitive life strategist.
So I guess that that is thesynonym for profit.
Anyway, we've got Dr Leaf, drNatasha Leaf.
She tells Brit that she's beenchoosing other people for so
long and now she needs to chooseherself, which fits in with her
(20:44):
storyline.
So that works.
Kelly arrives with her publicistLamont and she's got bamboo
earrings in her hair.
At least 12th there.
Angela arrives looking gorge inthe yellow, I must say.
And the face that Brit giveswhen Angela walks in, I can't.
Dr Leith calls out that Kelly'sex sold her G-Wagon.
(21:07):
That had been a 10-yearanniversary gift.
We're upset about it.
He's a bad man he is.
But yeah, shamia comes in fullAfrican garb and I live for her
Kenyan wolf moment it's giving.
Also, also, what's giving thefood?
The food looks amazing.
(21:28):
I wish I was there and that'ssaying a lot, um, compared to
those plastic grapes thatcynthia once tried to serve at
lake bailey, if you know.
You know?
Um, dr leith tells angela thatshe's too consumed with work and
she needs to bring sexy back toher man to her home.
(21:52):
Um, angela says they're good,and then Charles's love language
is cleaning up the damn house.
Um, okay, not to get too aheadof myself, but from the preview
it looks like troubles afoot andmaybe Dr Leith, the prophet,
the intuitive life strategist,is correct, but maybe not.
So, after this Brit kind ofpops off, um, oh, I'm getting
(22:17):
ahead of myself.
Dr Leith then, uh, is asking whohas a Porsche, and Angela says
her husband has an eye, has hiseye on a Porsche.
So, of course, in moving thestory along fashion, shamia says
wait, he has his eyes on aPorsche and not Porsche.
Right, it was funny,inappropriately placed, but it
(22:41):
was funny.
No, I guess it wasappropriately placed.
When else would she have saidthat?
So, yeah, so then, of course,at that moment, portia and
Lauren show up and they makePortia sit next to Angela until
Dr Leith wants to talk to Portia, and then Portia gets to move
(23:08):
and says we all know that, hellomedia, hello blogs.
She does say that there will bea point where Portia and Simon
can be friends, which I hope so,because little five-year-old
Pilar wants to talk to Simon andhe won't talk to her.
I hope that they I don't know.
I hope that that gets.
I hope that they can be friends.
I hope that things get figuredout if they need to be friends
for the sake of Pilar and herwanting that man in her life or
(23:29):
whatever.
But yeah, he seems like a pieceof shit.
So, pilar, baby, you don't needhim.
You don't need him, honey.
Now Drew shows up and Dr Leesays she needs to talk to her in
private, since Drew doesn'twant to share, of course,
because if there's any honestyinvolved, drew ain't about that
life.
Then Britt lights right intoAngela.
So here we go.
(23:49):
I'd gotten ahead of myself.
But here we go, brit lightsright into Angela and she's
yelling already about readingher lips.
I do not understand the wordsthat are coming out of my mouth,
because we've all seen RushHour mouth, because we've all
seen rush hour like get your ownlines.
(24:09):
At least these other women havetheir own witty lines I, I, I'm
so sorry, I can't, I'm notsorry, I can't with brit, um.
So then she's yelling aboutthis, uh.
And then angela tells her thatshe has stretch marks around her
mouth.
And then we get to the miles onthe mouth comment, which I think
is hilarious Angela, go off,sis.
(24:30):
That is very, very funny.
I've never heard anybody saythat.
I thought it was hilarious.
I hope to use that in my future.
Um so, uh.
And then we get to Brit standingup.
Brit now is standing up, um,which is so unnecessary.
She said you had miles on yourmouth and now you're standing up
(24:52):
, as I'm going to show you wherethe stretch marks are.
Girl, sit down, sit down.
You could easily be saying thisI was sitting on your bottom
and not standing up like youwere about to do something
because you're not going to doanything, even though I know
she's not going to do anything.
Right?
My first thought is where'sMona Scott?
Where's Mona Scott at?
And I hope that by now she'scalled her and we've started the
(25:16):
transition process so thatBritt can be somewhere where she
feels a little more at home, alittle more comfortable and
scoot Mia Thornton right in nextseason, please, because, though
Miss Mia is a lot of drama, miabe lying sometimes, right, she
did throw that cup.
She did throw that cup that onetime in Miami, but aside from
(25:36):
that, I don't really worry aboutphysical violence with her.
I think that Brit is draggingthis show down.
In my opinion.
That's how I feel.
It's hard.
It's hard to be representingand no matter what anybody says
as an all-black ensemble, um,cast like they are representing
(25:56):
black women.
They are, and so is theirbehavior.
That's just how it is.
Um, we can't get away with that, we can't.
So when you are acting likethat you, I don't, she's just
dragging down the show.
Yeah, atlanta has fights.
They've always had fights.
People do stand up.
They rah, rah, finger pointing,all of that, but it's never
(26:17):
been escalated to where I, whereBrit is going Like it.
It gets too hot, too quick andyou keep a gun, and you've done
interviews where you talk aboutyou do keep a gun outside of the
show.
So I just I don't like it, it'snot, it's.
I can't say 20 more times.
I can actually say it, but Iwill try not to say 20 more
(26:39):
times.
It's not for me.
It's not for me.
Now, shamia's reaction phase.
That is for me.
It is everything.
And if you don't know what I'mtalking about, I need you to go
to Peacock or your DVR, okay,and you need to go to about
minute 33, 50 seconds, and for agood 10 seconds Shamia's jaw
(27:02):
and grill are dropped honey.
Angela calls Bert a whore, andthough I clearly am not a Bert
fan, I think Angela's moreclever than that.
You could have come harder thanthat.
That was weak.
You're wittier than that.
Now stop.
You just told the girl she hasmiles on her mouth.
Stick, keep it up.
Inch, keep it up, keep it up.
(27:26):
Drew's hiding in the kitchentalking about the ancestors
being embarrassed, which is whatI just said.
Um, so for the first time ever,I agree with drew.
Telly looks like she's about toscoot on out.
She's at the edge of the couchlooking for her security.
Um, and then, my god, britbrings up this alleged side baby
, to which no one pays muchattention to.
Shamia talks about it in herconfessional, but that doesn't
(27:47):
mean anything because it's notin the group.
Hopefully this comes back upbecause it keeps.
This is the second episode thatthey've discussed this and this
is the first episode that it'sbeen out loud, um, amongst all
women, and nothing really issaid about it.
So I need to know more.
I need to know more.
(28:10):
Cynthia starts ringing a bell toget these goons in check and
wants them to do some Juneteenthtrivia, which I appreciate,
cynthia, but this does lead to aflashback of Portia talking
about how the undergroundrailroad was really an
underground train.
People don't forget, baby, theyjust don't.
(28:30):
So Cynthia takes Portia andAngela to the profit room, which
honestly I appreciate, becausenothing will be solved with the
peanut gallery involved at all,but they're not going to be able
to get past anything.
Um, if they are going to getpast it, it's not.
It's not going to happen withthe other girls, especially
Britt, popping off at her mouth.
(28:51):
Portia says that the fuckingCharles thing was a stupid
comment and she shouldn't havemade it, or maybe she should
have, but either way, she'ssorry.
Since Angela heard it, let's beclear.
That's why she's sorry and itwas inappropriate of her to have
been having so much fun.
And then Angela hits her withthe famous housewives quote if I
(29:14):
offended you which means Ireally don't give a fuck, um, so
if I offended you about yourhusband.
She apologizes.
Portia says ditto.
She hits her with an if Ioffended you, so they might move
forward.
They might move forward.
They apologized, I like that.
And then Shamia's turn post-textgate.
(29:34):
She wants some closure withAngela.
So she sits down with Angelajust by herself, and Angela
feels like, as a married woman,shamia should have checked her
friend.
Yeah, yeah, I think that ifthat was my friend, I probably
would have been like girl, likethat's not right, like that's
not funny.
But I also think that theydidn't think that Angela was
listening.
So I feel like if they'd allbeen together, um, and Portia
(30:00):
said that to Angela, maybeShamia would have said something
.
But I just think that, becausethey were just like playing
around, weren't thinking aboutit, really, that Shamia didn't
say anything to her, I reallythink Shamia would have checked
her.
I hope so.
I think so.
Yeah, because that was messedup.
To say so yeah, they agree todisagree.
(30:25):
Shamia says that she likes tolaugh.
She just likes to laugh, that'sall.
She laughed at her uncle'sfuneral Interesting.
But she does explain it thatthey had him dressed up and he'd
never gone to church and helooked like a pastor.
But yeah, I think there's hopefor these ladies.
So yeah, so yeah.
(30:52):
So we get our halfway trailer.
Very exciting, very exciting.
(31:16):
Not that I wasn't excited forthe rest of the season, because
so far it's been chef's kiss andI don't see it going downhill
from here Like before all ofthis.
When Kenya left and they werescrambling, I like before when
they were in production and weheard about Kenya leaving, I was
worried.
But let me tell you somethingthey pulled it together.
It is, this is everything.
This is one of the best seasonfor me.
This is a really great seasonof Atlanta.
It's been a minute since Icould say that.
So yeah, frickin' Frack areback.
Bitch, frickin' Frack are back.
I don't know how I really feelabout frickin' Frack, but we'll
(31:39):
see.
We'll see how it plays out.
Bravo has slow burned Phaedraback into our lives in phases
and it's been working.
People are forgetting that shehad that whole situation with
Candy and lying and rapeallegations.
(32:01):
But okay, ricket's left out ofsomething, not quite sure what
it is, I guess maybe it'swhatever pool event that they're
at.
But I'm here for it, and so isAngela.
Now Kelly and Britt are gettinginto it.
I can't wait to find out why.
I wonder if it's because of theevent that they're at the pool,
(32:23):
but I'm team Kelly, so I don'tcare.
Um, and Britt calls Kelly atroll, which I don't like at all
.
That's rude.
She can't help how short she is.
You're disgusting.
Um, angela spills to Portiathat Shamia has said she and
Portia have a lopsidedfriendship.
Um, my takeaway from this it'sgood to see that Angela and
(32:44):
Portia are getting along.
We know in real time that Shamiaand Portia aren't necessarily
at odds, but they're not asclose as they once were, so
can't wait to find out more.
Ralph locked Drew out of theirhome, which is disgusting.
I'm not shocked.
He's gross.
He's a sad excuse of a man anda father and yeah, I hate Ralph.
(33:09):
Portia and Drew are arguingover who is dating who, and
Portia's not saying who Drew isdating, but then Drew comes out
to say that Portia is was datingFuture, so clearly they're
still not friends, got it?
Charles doesn't wear a weddingband, full stop, uh.
And then we have some man whowe don't see, who says that
(33:32):
charles is cheating currentlywell, not currently, but during
filming.
Um, and charles is not therefor it.
Okay, he's at an event and he'spopping off.
And I can't wait, I can't wait.
I'm looking forward to the restof the season.
Obviously, I hope you are too.
I can't understand if you'renot, but if you're not, tell me
about it.
So, yeah, keep listening, tellall of your friends and follow
(33:56):
me on Instagram at the dramadesk Ciao.
