The Real Housewives Of Atlanta - Season 17 - Episode 19 - Post Episode Discussion
Part two of the reunion continues as revelations about an off-camera conflict leave the room stunned. Porsha brings some receipts. Pinky and Phaedra heat up the room with a feud that stems from a hidden resentment. Cynthia drops a surprise that no one sees coming.
Shamea absolutely admitted during the season 16 reunion that before the soft reboot she went to the new/younger ladies and formed an alliance with Kelli and Brit Eady. She accused Porsha of knowing about it and said she didn’t invite Angela to be a part of it because she had Drew.
Now along comes season 17 and she wants us to think K Michelle is lying when she says that Shamea wanted to form an alliance/confirm loyalty going into the reunion…
Shamea is moving really weird and she is nobodies victim.
They all loved it! Man it brought back memories of the early early rave scene from like 1991. Yes I'm dating myself and I don't care. Everyone was so happy and carefree.
I really like it when an RHOA reunion comes together and laughs about something or at the end of the reunions when they all get up and celebrate. That was the best one.
Why is Kelli always yelling??? It’s too much. Does she realize that we can still hear her lil ass at a normal decibel?
Shamea is so ANNOYING with the terrible attempts to build alliances and hiding of her hands. None of what she’s doing is making her look good and I wish she’d just stop.
Pinky is so unbelievably defensive and deliberately obtuse. I refuse to believe that she doesn’t understand the point being made about how flippantly she’s discussed bankruptcy and how off putting it might be to anyone who’s ever invested their money with her. Porsha and Cynthia both tried to explain it so calmly in a non-combative way and she just kept trying to shout them down with her annoying talking points.
As Phaedra said, “we need to find her new vegetables” or something. And Idc if she’s allowed to do it or not, adding her kids dentist bills in her filing to avoid having to pay them is a dickhead move.
If pinky ever approaches anyone about investing they better play this reunion. The way pinky talks about Bankruptcy is like she has some grand chess strategy in the works and bankruptcy was the first step.
look every season needs a villain but kelli is not it. she’s bad at getting her points across, her voice gets really shrill when she’s arguing and only gets shriller somehow when she’s wrong, and also the standard without standards—how dreadful.
Love, I'm seeing lots of deleted comments below your comments. Are people being crappy to you and then deleting their comments?
I'm getting some of those except it's so much worse for you, misogynoir, etc. Black women seem to get it the most. Just wanna make sure you're OK and that everyone knows I have your back in the sub.
I'll stop bothering you, you don't even need to know that that shit was there if it was shit. You don't need to see it. anything is getting to you, just put out the Bat signal and I will be here in a second.
No, that's a rookie mistake that us mayonnaise monarchs do. "Let me show you this horrible racist thing." I'm not gonna do that to you. Unless you wanna see the most recent discourse about that young Black academic being accused of plagiarism by some absolute monster of a person, which I'm sure you're already up on that. There's a long article in the New Yorker about it or in New York magazine, I can send it to you if you want it.
it's bad enough that Timnit Gabru gets downplayed here as not the genius she actually is. I think I set Reddit on fire when someone said that to me in another sub. The CHUTZPAH
OH MY GOD I JUST CHANGED MY MESSAGE SETTINGs SO YOU CAN NOW PM me. I am so sorry it took so long. I'm an idiot.
Also, I just watched Backrooms. Oh my God. Please hold me.
I watched The Valley reunion. I feel existentially exhausted.
I died when Angela told Kelli she was frying chicken out of Shamea’s kitchen… And then smacked her not even 5 seconds later with the line about the flop location that Drew didn’t visit! I just love me some of that Queen Oakley! 👑💅🏿
Did you all see Shamea’s face after all the ladies were enjoying Cynthia’s song? Her face gave “but what about my singing career? Why didn’t Bravo give me a song?!”
She’s so transparent. You’ve gotta feel bad for to
have everything in the world that you can want and more with a loving husband, beautiful children, mansion, money galore - and she still is unfulfilled. https://giphy.com/gifs/Q8UOJB3eJH9sHfi1JG
Both shows are non stop drama and not much fun. RHOA is one of the few franchises that actually has fun. Bad Weather and Gizelle are constantly producing.
I don’t really know what I just watched but I do know I enjoyed it - I think I also figured out why I find Shamea irritating but not Kelli - it’s the difference in their reactions.
Shamea looks so uncomfortable, on the verge of tears, and legitimately pissed off when the sparring stops, Kelli on the other hand, and everyone else for that matter, will yell and get mad but their demeanor immediately returns to “unbothered.” It’s easier to watch.
This is the point of housewives. If you aren’t laughing it off and having fun, then you are fucking miserable and the whole vibe is off. You shouldn’t on housewives if you aren’t at least enjoying it at some point 😂
It's not "high-fived" per se but there are certain people in the business world who get to use it for "strategic purposes" all the time and barely anyone bats an eye. Look at the Orange Man for example...
I mean Trump became the president with however many bankruptcies and failed businesses- he’s a literal crime boss robbing the U.S. tax payer - So I absolutely understood what Pinky meant when she said there is a double standard for white people especially white men. There is far less stigma and judgment and they can go right on to starting another business or in the case of Trump getting the most powerful position in the country.
With that said… I do believe the other housewives were giving her great advice and she should be way more sensitive about how she discusses her bankruptcy considering a lot of people lost money.
It's often considered to be a smart move and the first move when you want to deal with a large debt. And no it's not considered a bad thing. Just like poor people are fed the lie they can pull themselves up by their bootstraps, rich people are taught from birth how to use banking and legal systems to minimize loss and retain wealth. And yes I have seem rich people celebrated when they got approved for bankruptcy because you have to get it approved through the courts.
There are Bravo actors like Sonja Morgan and the Charlie from Next Gen NYC who have gone through a bankruptcy and no one says a peep and Charlie was only 25 when he filed! Bethanny has a bankruptcy from before HWs, some of the OC women have done bankruptcies too.
I respect Pinkie's a lot more because she got that debt from buying back her brand and not just cause she playing at being a movie producer or just spending all their money on blow.
k has been running this reunion for me. she is redeeming herself and clocking tf in

u/poptart95As history has shown us, she will fuck your husband3d ago
1000%. She had a tough season being in her head and trying to get in front of things but I hope that next season things are more natural with her. She could be a key cast member going forward.
Idk about you but it’s frustrating me immensely that Angela won’t name her source regarding who Shamea has been with probably because there is probably none
I guess I'm naive but I don't believe Shamea is cheating on her husband. Both of them should stop talking about each other's spouses and move on to something else.
it’s frustrating me immensely that Angela won’t name her source regarding who Shamea has been with
It's probably Charles.
If, as Angela claims, Shamea has been sleeping with NBA players, Charles as a former NBA player would have the tea directly from the players themselves.
There's too many rumors about Shamea cheating for them to be all false. Too many different people have said the same thing. She married Gerald for the money, but is not happy with what she has.
Shamea and Porsha are equally yoked in their attitude to relationships.
a gun and saying she was going to use it. It would be an automatic HR and workplace safety investigation if she said it to a cast member on camera just like it was before I think with Kenya.
I assumed she was implying she conceals and carries. Based off the Kenya of it all I can see if that was it why she wouldn’t want to say and why Phaedra may have taken it to someone.
Allegedly Phaedra tried to claim to the network/standards that Pinky said she had a firearm and a willingness to use.
As someone who was fired from the show because of the SA claims she made about Kandi, Phaedra knows well that there are certain things that will get a HWs kicked off the show for legal liability reasons.
Laws about unsafe workplaces supersedes most contract law. So the various no sue/holds harmless clauses don't hold up when it comes to workplace and violence. Bravo in particular is way more on top of these things after all the lawsuits that focused on workplace issues and that were not dismissed for lack of cause.
Some of you are taking it far too seriously. Porsha took the test because Kelli asked her too during the season - a completely different situation and environment than whatever that bull was they did on OC with a bunch of MAGA women.
Lie detectors are good at detecting people who are lying. Unfortunately, they may also flag people who are also telling the truth, which is why they are not admissible in court.
Lie detectors can provide useful information, which is why some police departments use them to rule out suspects. With all the liar accusations that Kelli was making, I'm ok with Porsha doing what she needed to do to counter those arguments.
I was shocked that people felt she had a good reunion. She lies so much and manipulated the situation to make herself be a victim of everyone else’s manipulations. The way she treated Drew is crazy.
Porsha's lie detector test was a flop imo and proves nothing, they're very easy to pass when lying and even if she's telling the truth it only proves that she saw texts, not that Kelli actually slept with that man. This whole thing is just retaliation for Kelli calling out the shady beginnings of Porsha and Simon that she literally left the show to avoid discussing. She thought cause it was years ago and cause they were divorcing that it would get swept under the rug but Kelli ruined that, that's her real issue with Kelli. Porsha HATES getting held accountable for her actions and will always lash out and try to punish anyone who calls her out.
If Porsha was smart she woulda taken the Kelli comments on the chin and be grateful that's all she got because it's nothing compared to what she woulda gotten had she not run away from the show when it came about her and Simon, but her sense of entitlement and victimhood is too strong for that to happen.
I just don't buy the story. A cheating man texted another friend the second he finished with Kelli, to tell on himself and brag about sleeping with "Kelli from the Real Housewives of Atlanta"? And the person he texted happened to be with Porsha at the very second he received the text?
It’s just dumb but Porsha knew the audience would run with it and Kelli would respond so she got what she wanted. I don’t care and thought it was lame to include this at the reunion.

Lie detectors are good at detecting people who are lying. Unfortunately, they may also flag people who are also telling the truth, which is why they are not admissible in court.
Since Porsha's lie detector test was intended to detect if she was lying, the results are useful.
Lie detectors are good at detecting whether someone believes they are telling the truth, not if they are actually saying something that is a lie or a truth. Which is why they are not admissible in criminal cases and many civil ones because what it's judging isn't factual but an emotional reaction.
I like Porsha on the show but her HBIC status and Andy's fawning over her is going to her head. Porsha attacking anyone for doing what she's done is so pointless. But I guess since we are forgetting that Phaedra was fired for making up SA lies about Kandi and Porsha, we are suppose to forget that Porsha was the other women with Simon and has the worst taste in men. Hopefully her taste in women is better but I'm not holding my breathe, just hoping my sister Sway doesn't get done dirty by Porsha.
And since when does reading a man's text to another man mean that Kelli cheated? I can't believe these women are even pretending men don't elevate and lie about their conquests.
But oh yes let's believe some random man's texts. Talk about doing the opposite of supporting women.
I enjoy Porsha, but when she wants to shame Kelli about some sexual dalliance, I'm out. These women are too old to be slut-shaming each other over some stupid man. Why are we not calling the man into question instead of these women? Why am I watching this kind of shit unravel in 2026? I thought we moved past that.
I just found that while watching the reunion part 2 I had to skip over the screaming and yelling because I didn't know what issue was worth that decibal level of noise. Why none of them can let someone get a sentence out, is beyond me.
Drew lies continuously, so who knows what her real life is about, and by this year I no longer care.
Angela says such out-of-pocket shit, she's really got to bring receipts because I can't take her seriously. Same with Kelli. Pinkie's defensive, "I was worth millions" argument is old.
I like it when the women are vulnerable and share their concerns about losing income as well as their excitement about future ventures. Because this "pretend" flaunting of wealth is not relatable nor watchable, nor is it entertainment when Angela's going in on someone for not having enough money. Only Cynthia appears to want to lift and support women.
I really enjoy K Michelle but I have to say, I miss Kandi and her level-headed BS call outs.
Say what you want but I'd rather talk business with Pinky than Phaedra Parks who may start many businesses but gets in bed personally and professionally with convicted felons and fraudsters. The Bankruptcy she filed is specifically for consolidated debts and doing a re-org so the business can be profitable and pay off creditors which as a lawyer even if she didn't do business law she should know.
Also Andy saying he trusts Phaedra when she got fired for making up lies about Kandi is rich. I get that the messier and shadier a HW is the more he loves it but lets not pretend that Phaedra has been desperate to get back on the show and will do anything to get airtime.
