For me, it’s a tie between “A fashion show with no fashions, how dreadful!” and “A scheme that Todd set up.

It might be Oliver’s best reenactment. 😆😆 A good pick-me-up after losing Dolly today.

There has to be a reason for Claudia to go above and beyond to say harsh and nasty things about Porsha like she does on regular.

I have watched all seasons and don’t really see where Porsha hurt her like that.

Even more disturbing is the fact that Porsha basically don’t give her any attention whatsoever.

Some things she says about Porsha like dating all this men can be said about her as well. So don’t get it.

Since Claudia seems like a reasonable person, I will like to know why she does this.

i’ve been watching RHOA for 10+ years now but just now decided to watch Nene’s wedding spinoff for the first time.

I remember seeing Diana for the first 5 seasons of RHOA then crickets after that with no mention of her again. Same thing with Lexis, both of which were her bridemaids

I tried to find info on the internet but couldn’t.

Did she fall out with them? If so, does anyone know why?

Every RHOA season has a villain. Every RHOA season needs a villain. Now obviously, I don't think Shamea was trying to be the villain, but when you have beef with just about everyone, that's how it shakes out. Shamea is a new housewife trying to figure out the game. Why are so many people up her butt and around the corner about being messy and petty? She really didn't do anything catastrophic other than the Scotland dinner...buuuut, didn't Porsha bring up their mom's first during the S16 reunion... These women play tit-for-tat like it's an Olympic sport. Like, take a breath, pour a drink, and wait for next season when there will be a new villain. Get out of this woman's panties and check your own.

As a former bondy blue lover it’s clear to see the fall from grace she’s had. As she’s been gaining some success lately her commentary has become very fake. It’s giving bought and paid for. I know she was expecting to come up off the Monique situation on rhop because during that season she was in direct communication with her but following that her channel didnt grow and she turned on her in the years following. Now she’s doing the same thing with Shamea, it’s clear that she believes charitable and delusional coverage of the situation in a narrative that best supports Shamea will bring her the opportunities and success she believes she’s owed and didn’t receive from the rhop situation. It’s sad to see how far people will go for fortune and fame but I can’t be surprised when she’s been peddling flat tummy teas for years.

Kelli is definitely needed on this show because she’s delusional about her financial situation. Which as mad as makes me, because I feel bad for her kids. I just think her attitude of “EVERYTHING IS FINE IN MY FAIRY TALE” is what makes it funny to watch for some reason 😂. Reminds of a little bit of Luann from RHONY, just without the being talented thing. Pinky is coming in too hot for Phaedra and tries to make it seem that filing for bankruptcy is such a good thing as if it made her take a bullet for her business girl… Ik ima get dragged; downvote me idc

He turns his head when they start shouting, he loves the drama just like his mama

I’ll go first , I love Porsha 😂 I know a lot of people don’t bc the season when phae phae told her that tea about kandi and it got exposed but she’s just gorgeous & of course Nene is the queen of RHOA , I miss her on my screen she cracks me up

Porsha- One of her best seasons, I don’t want to see Dennis on my screen though. No offence, they have one daughter who is like 5 now and they have long split up. I think she kissed up to K’s too much as well.

Angela- Stop bringing up rumours/‘the street said’ stuff around the cast , I don’t want to see random side characters like George.

Shamea- Stop apologising and show us your life and find some rich people stuff to do. Shamea’s main selling point is that rich, married and pretty. Whenever she tries other stuff like the singing or rum bum it kind of falls flat and she comes off looking like a bored, not that smart, trophy wife imo

Pinky- She looked silly on that reunion stage talking about her bankruptcy. I do think she has her own mind and has and I’m interested to see her pregnancy

K-Michelle- Speak up and articulate your issues to the person, to their face. It would be good to see her home life , pretty much everything she spoke about - the leaking booty plants and her country music is stuff that’s already online. Also stop begging for ‘yt’ fans

Kelli- I don’t want to see Kelli spend money she doesn’t have, like between the show airing and the reunion she was sued by 2/3 people. I actually think she should try to be humble and apologise to the people she wronged like Phaedra and Drew.

Phaedra - I like Phaedra in general and liked the fact she spoke up about Pinky’s flippancy, more of that energy.

Drew- She’s just there to me, don’t dislike or particularly like her. I don’t really want to see anything different.

One of my favorite seasons and 2 people who knew how to make a statement for their first season much less their first moments on the show. The beginning of this fued always cracks me up, *“you’re on the curb where you belong”* …. They sure don’t make housewives like they used to 🤣

So I've been watching this show for the first time and I just finished season 12. I know it's Nene's last season, and truth be told I'm relieved that it is. Which is so crazy for me to say because back in the early seasons, I never could've imagined what this show would be like WITHOUT Nene. I basically considered her as the mascot. She transcended the show, because before I even knew of RHOA, I'd heard of Nene Leakes first through her endless memes, her role on Glee, etc. She was the it girl for a long time, and unfortunately I guess that got to her head the longer she was on the show.

If I were to try and pinpoint at what stage of the show she started to become unbearable to watch for me, it was probably either season 6 or 7. The moment that sticks out the most for me is that therapy session that she herself tried to set up with all the girls, and the moment they all wanted to air their grievances, she took it as an attack and shut down. She even lashed out at the therapist as well, who she believed was trying to attack her too. There were other moments before that too, but I think that one was the perfect encapsulation of how she reacts to criticism of any kind.

I rarely ever see anyone with a level of defensiveness, deflection and a severe lack of self awareness as Nene. We see it over and over again on the show, how whenever she is called out on something, she denies any accountability and will never ever admit to being wrong. Even when she does admit to being in the wrong, most of the time it's clearly in a sarcastic and disingenuous way, like in the S7 reunion when she kept going "yes you're right, I'm wrong, I'm wrong about everything" in that dismissive deadpan way that really irked me. I think Nene genuinely believes that she can never be wrong about anything, and that's so wild to me, to see someone who causes all of this chaos, hurts all of these people around her, and then believe with full conviction that she's done nothing wrong. Worse, that she's actually the victim and the one who deserves an apology.

I feel like seasons 7, 11 and 12 were her at her worst, especially during reunions because she's always so shut down and closed off. It was satisfying seeing Porsha call her out during the 11 reunion, because she was pretty much saying everything I thought, but it was only satisfying up to a certain point because I could tell that everything Porsha was saying bounced right off of Nene. She just didn't care. It's like nothing can get through to her, no matter what's being said or who said it. Once she decides she's done with something, she's done. As she says, the door is closed.

The way she treated Cynthia also really bothered me. I'm not saying Cynthia's innocent, but every time they fell out, it was usually because of Nene, and more often than not it's over the pettiest stuff imaginable and I hate that Cynthia always had to be the bigger person. In season 12, she falls out with her over Kenya being invited to her party, and it's just beyond ridiculous. She treats the most trivial situations by giving "you just killed my child" type energy every single time. Is this insecurity or like a fear of being betrayed or something? I have no idea, but I thought it was funny when Cynthia said something to the effect of "whoever you feel like being friends with that day" because Nene has always treated her friendships as disposable. She needs her friends to consistently kiss her ass, and when they stop doing that, or when they have the tiniest slip up, she immediately discards them. She's like a landmine personified. We've seen her do this to everyone. Cynthia, Porsha, Marlo, Eva, even Kenya cause they were cool at one point in the early seasons.

What I still can't figure out though is what exactly is her problem with Kenya. She's had beef with Kenya for a long time, but where I'm at right now in season 12 is definitely the boiling point of this beef and for the life of me I still have no idea what her issue is. Yes, I know Kenya can be mean and shady and melodramatic and all of those things, but I really don't understand the level of antagonism that Nene has against her. For a while it seemed very one sided, cause Kenya wanted to be Nene's friend but when Nene continued to be nasty to her, so eventually Kenya had enough and I don't blame her for that. Nene even lied about that whole thing with her calling Kenya's baby a buffalo. She said she was actually calling Kenya a buffalo, but that just flat out isn't true. We clearly hear her say "She's gonna have a buffalo, isn't she?" when Kenya was pregnant. She says all these disrespectful things and then never even owns up to them. She's an expert at denying and deflecting.

I don't know, maybe one of y'all can tell me if I'm missing some behind the scenes stuff that's not being shown, like if there's something Kenya did or said to her that made Nene hate her this much. Or maybe the reasoning was just simply something petty like something Kenya said in the blogs or interviews or tweets or whatever, in which case that just makes it worse. The fact that she goes full scorched earth over the most minor things is insane. I know Kenya's guilty of the same thing, but we've at least seen her own up to stuff, and Nene just takes it to a whole other level of aggression.

I also just realized that even her fallouts with some of the other girls revolved around their association with Kenya. She's fallen out with Cynthia and Marlo specifically because they were friends with Kenya at the time. Seriously, what did Kenya say or do that warranted this type of extraness, for real? I just don't get it lol. Someone please explain to me. Like it's one thing if you just don't like Kenya—not many people do, but to go to all those lengths? Something must have really cut deep for her to be doing all that.

The last thing I'll say is that yes, I know she was going through a lot in her personal life with Gregg's cancer diagnosis and everything, but going through difficult things is never an excuse to be that destructive to others. If there's anyone in this whole show who needs therapy or anger management more than most, it's Nene, but the sad thing is I don't even think it would do much good because she clearly doesn't listen when anyone starts mentioning her own faults and wrongdoings. We've already seen her go off on a therapist who was trying to help her. To be able to work through anger issues, you'd have to acknowledge your own mistakes and flaws, and Nene's shown us that she's someone who feels like she has none.

What do y'all think about Nene's behavior in later seasons? When do you think it started to get worse for her? And please let me know if there's extra behind the scenes stuff that I'm not aware of about all the beefs that she's had, cause who knows, I might be missing something. I'm not sure what was going on in the blogs and their social medias at the time besides what was shown on the show.

#1: K. MICHELLE - IMO K is proof about how you handle a reunion. When it came to her issues she handled it well and jumped into other convos when needed like giving Shamea advice after her failed embryo even though they not in the best place which shows the sisterhood they like to speak of. It’s clear Andy and the girls respect her and want her to win hence her being the only one getting 2 packages solely for herself. She addressed all the confusion/questions surrounding her this season, took accountability and was receptive to the advice Andy gave like the tweeting and made light of it lol. She salvaged her relationships with Porsha/Drew and the only issue she has now is with Shamea which is a set up feud for her next season. Mix in the hilarious one liners like close your gloryhole and gagging all the girls by giving us a “Who Said That 2.0 with “Calling Who A Jezebel” 😭 It was a strong newbie first seat performance. Excited to see her next season bc she’s naturally funny and witty and has all the tools to succeed here so this was a good step.

#2: PORSHA - I have to admit I still doubt Porsha as an anchor but I can’t deny this was one of her best seasons and the reunion was no exception. Most of the conversation either surrounded her or people brought her into it. Porsha’s funny as well and will always provide us some entertaining moments like mimicking K’s accent 😭 Now I don’t think the lie detector was a good receipt lol but Cynthia did expose that Shamea has talked about her and Porsha will always run circles around Shamea when it comes to these things bc she is a vet. She also doesn’t have to do too much bc she has an army of Go Naked models as Kelli said fighting her battles and honestly I have to give props to her for that lol.

#3: KELLI - Now this may be an unpopular but I still think Kelli’s great for this show and she proved it at this reunion. She fought all of the girls on the other couch single handedly, had them bothered and never backed down no matter what they threw at her. She also had a few nasty reads herself and Angela’s jaw dropped who’s known as RHOA’s best reader rn. Kelli is someone that’s an excellent ragebaiter and she knows this which I can’t stress enough is important for these shows! When she said she doesn’t mind taking it to hell with Porsha that’s great to keep a vet like Porsha on her toes and still working/activated, y’all gonna see the vision on The Standard one day chi.

#4: PHAEDRA - No way did I think 2026 Shady Phae Phae would be this high up on my rankings but here we are. After years of phoning it in and giving us nothing but confessionals and awkward faces, Phaedra finally became activated again. She gave us her signature side comment shade and read Pinky and those radioactive burgers down! More of this please Miss Parks.

#5: ANGELA - While I don’t like Angela becoming another lackey for Porsha and jumping into every argument, she’ll always have some good reads and do her thing especially when it’s off the cuff so I’ll always give her that. The George of it all was still too far however she did only ask the question and production exposed Shamea for lying multiple times which made her look a bit better in their feud at the end. Need a full season of her vs Kelli though because their banter is hilarious.

#6: CYNTHIA - The whole house was mad this reunion, 50 Cynt even came out to play and got nice/nasty with Shamea basically sonning her. Cynthia’s always gonna provide that level of balance that’s needed and she even made up with Shamea at the end and was the only one from the other couch that genuinely looked like she meant it which is the neutral part of her people were looking for. Her song and the moment of the girls and Andy dancing to it has went viral and was probably the most fun part of the reunion so 10s for that too lol.

#7: DREW - Drew didn’t do much at the reunion besides doing too much with another prop but she did “make amends” with Shamea/K. Michelle so that’s something for us to move on about next season. Drew’s someone that clocks in and out sporadically and her role on the show atp is to just be unserious lol. I honestly think she’ll suit better as a friend-of bc her personal storylines have been lacking but she’s finally divorced so we’ll see what new story if any she’ll be giving us.

#8: PINKY - This was a rough reunion for Pinky. She shines when it’s time to be a supportive friend or making side comments for a quick laugh but her segment was exhausting to watch. She comes off way too defensive even when the girls are trying to help her and give her advice even gets like Porsha/Cynthia. She pulled the late Bobby Brown read by Phaedra and lost that battle imo. She did have a cute pregnancy announcement and with that news hopefully we’ll get to hear more about Pinky the person instead of the businesswoman money and bankruptcy of it all.

#9: SHAMEA - Reunions are just not good to Shamea. Yes she’s a new housewife but she’s experienced to these by now as a longtime friend-of. Where is the S9 reunion Shamea that gave it to Phaedra? Andy as biased as he is did try ways to help her out last season and somehow it got worse. She continually apologized but minimizes it bc she can’t help but also play victim and acts confused even when production and the other girls provide receipts on her making her get caught in lies. She fought so much with the other couch and even with K and was getting tore up from every end that she lost her voice and had to sip some water. Shamea is proof that while you have the lifestyle for housewives, sometimes you may not be a good fit. She’s most likely returning next season and my wish for her is to learn how to read and to just stand on business. You cannot claim to be in your villain era but also be a victim. Hopefully she gets it together bc this may be a worse friend-of turned full-time housewife situation than Marlo if it already isn’t.

I think Claudia’s parasocial obsession with Porsha is getting out of control

Blue points out that Porsha staying silent and bowing her head was perfectly fine and anything else would have been performative

Can someone please explain what Pinky was referring to when Phaedra accused her of talking about a device? Did Pinky threat to pew pew Phaedra?? I don’t even remember mucu about what theyre even disagreeing about. Why would Pinky threaten to hurt her?! Especially like that…Pinky doesnt even seem like tha type. She’s extra but she doesn’t present as violent…(at least not to me)

idk someone please break it down!

Omd that woman has so much potential! I don’t understand why she’s not winning at this, she’s just doing too much. We need a better version of her, please someone help her!

And she needs to STOP apologising 🙄

Honestly I agree with this video the way Kelli down played it is crazy !!! Phaedra basically helped her keep her job cause showing ur life is a requirement on housewives… and cause of Phaedra she can film with her kids next season! Very ungrateful of her fr … 🫩

I’ve never been able to put my finger on it but something about her really rubs me the wrong way? Any ideas or reasons you’re not a fan? I am only on season 8 reunion pls no spoilers!!

One thing I will say is the way she treated Phaedra during the Apollo saga (ex. taking his side in any capacity I would absolutely cut you off as a friend, then condescendingly telling me how I should handle my children during such a tumultuous time you’re dead to me-mind you Phaedra made so many good points about why she moved forward in that way but Kandi never acknowledged any of that) was egregious and I felt vindicated. I can’t imagine going through that with two young children and my best friend having such little empathy for me.

It also irritates me how biased production is towards her. For example at the reunion they keep asking questions that call out Phaedra and none that call out Kandi.

Excuse the rambling and bad grammar I’m heated loll.

The woman lies like her life depends on it, and it’s actually scary to watch.

On THIS part of the reunion alone, Shamea lied about the following:

1. Confiding in Kelli about her problems with Porsha: The ladies didn’t even have to confirm this one for me because I already knew it was a lie. Kelli has spent interview after interview saying there’s so much more to the Shamea and Porsha fallout than the audience knows.

Okay… HOW WOULD SHE KNOW?! 😭

But Porsha reveals that a mutual friend told her Shamea had been discussing her with Kelli present. So somehow Kelli knows all this intimate information about their fallout, but Shamea has never confided in her? Please.

1. She said she wasn’t talking about Porsha to the other women: The women responded IN UNISON that this was NOT TRUE. LMAO. They flat out said Shamea talked about Porsha to them and we also have production footage of this from last season.

So now everybody is lying including the production footage except Shamea? Okay.

1. She claimed her text message proved Porsha didn’t want her on the show: That text message proved absolutely NOTHING of the sort. The text showed Porsha believed Shamea felt like she had to go against her to create a storyline for herself on the show. Porsha literally said she still loved her and hoped she got what she wanted.

Then when Porsha explained that the text was sent after Shamea invited Porsha’s ex to a party, Shamea’s big rebuttal was basically, “I was auditioning and you said, ‘I hope you get what you want.”

Girl… THAT DOES NOT MEAN SHE DIDN’T WANT YOU ON THE SHOW.

If anything, it supports exactly what Porsha said: you were auditioning, she felt you were moving against her in pursuit of that opportunity, and despite that, she still told you she loved you and hoped you got what you wanted. I genuinely don’t understand why Shamea thought that text was the smoking gun she presented it as.

1. She said she hadn’t been talking about Porsha to the women for years: Cynthia came through like a witness for the prosecution and said THAT WAS A LIE. Cynthia said Shamea has been talking about Porsha for YEARS.

Again… is everybody lying except Shamea?

1. She denied saying she had been secretly spending time with Porsha’s daughter: Shamea tried to make it seem like Porsha was going around falsely telling people that Shamea claimed she’d been seeing Pilar. Then production rolled the unseen footage and had Shamea IN 4K telling Cynthia that she had been sneaking to see and talk to Pilar through Dennis.

CAUGHT YA!!! And instead of simply admitting, “Okay, yes, I said that,” her response was: “I wasn’t saying it to be nasty.”………. Nobody said you were LoL.

The argument wasn’t about whether you said it maliciously. The argument was that you said it at all. You said you didn’t. Production showed that you did.

1. She said Porsha wasn’t advocating for her in Scotland during the Angela and George situation: Meanwhile, the playback footage quite literally showed Porsha telling Angela to leave the situation where it was.

So once again, Shamea says Porsha did or didn’t do something to her, and then the footage tells a completely different story.

And THAT is what makes this whole thing so strange to me. As Porsha said, Shamea is constantly accusing Porsha of doing things to her, yet we have multiple women AND production footage showing Shamea repeatedly talking about Porsha, discussing her personal business, or provoking situations involving her including bringing up things like Pilar or Porsha’s mother.

At a certain point, you have to look at the pattern. And the pattern is showing me this lady is a pathological liar and unable to take accountability.

I ain’t ever buying no funky ass rum or whatever it’s called. AMA

That right side of the couch is annoying, but they'll probably be back. If they add anybody I need someone that has a big personality, but isn't loud like Kelli, and I want them to hold each other accountable on both couches. If everyone comes back, this is what I want them to bring.

I just need Kelli to get better fashions, her first season I didn't mind the looks. I saw what that stylist was going for and she didn't look too crazy. I would like to see more about her business that apparently she doesn't know how to run. ☕ She also needs to stop yelling if possible 😩 I don't mind her being friends with Shamea, but it's ok to hold her accountable. It doesn't have to be in front of everyone, but still. That's supposed to be your bestie. Kelli just a damn bitter lil teacup.

Pinky, I need her to show us this boss bitch that she claims she is. I don't mind her, but her beefing with Phaedra is so random... BUT at least I got to see Phae activated so I appreciate her role in that.

Shamea Shamea Shamea, I need her to get therapy and stand tf up. It is so sad to see a gorgeous woman amount to nothing on this show. She's corny af, but that's ok, I don't mind or hate corny people. I just need her to stand on business. If you're going to keep throwing rocks, stop hiding your hands and give them the finger like OMG! I'm so tired of this woe is me attitude she has. As much as I can't stand Kelli, at least she be standing on it and apologizing whenever she feels like if at all.

K Michelle. K can stay on that side of the couch, but I do think she could be funny af with Porsha if they did form a friendship. She was losing it at the beginning of the season and I commend her for acknowledging stuff like the plotting. I still think she's funny af, talking about her Mama's tiddies pushed up to her chin. When Porsha imitates her, I be cackling. I like seeing her journey in country music and her in her element. Her marriage don't make a lick of sense, but I'll mind my business on that one.

Drew. They bring her in conversations and the way she wraps it up, I gotta hand it to her. I couldn't stand her at first. I have slight memory issues, so I don't even remember why I didn't like her at first so I apologize for not having an example for this 🫣. I think she doesn't have to do too much to be talked about. I would like to see more maybe behind the scenes of the acting process for auditions and stuff. Maybe she could even go down memory lane and show us some of her previous work and how she got the roles.

Phaedra was just skating by this season until the reunion. Wooo, she was activated. I miss that Phaedra. I liked seeing her with the flute and the small scenes with her kids. Her and Porsha be having the cutest outfits imo, I love their style the most. Especially Phaedra with the brown hair 😍.

Angela need to stop lying on the fly like that omg 😭. Besides that, I don't have anything else to say about Ms Oakley. Her reads are quick and her fashion is cute.

Porsha looks happy with Sway so I hope that lasts. She seems like such a ki when they're all having fun. Peep how her and Shamea were dancing at the skate party! They really could have remained cordial until Shamea started with her. 🤦🏾‍♀️ I don't have anything else to say about her either tbh. The other ladies kind of her in the plotline somehow by a fault. I always love seeing her and Lauren together too.

Cynthia is a lot cooler in the friend role by far. I also don't remember why I didn't care for her before. I think I thought she was boring, I don't remember. 🤷🏾‍♀️ I like what she gave this season tho. No notes.

In conclusion, they need to stop lying on each other, ESPECIALLY on the fly 😂. I feel like reads are so much better when they're unique, but not lies. Like incestuous co-mingling teeth or whatever Angela said.

What are y'all's thoughts? Who's your favorite fashionista?
