EXCLUSIVE! Real Housewives of Atlanta (Season 5) Reunion Show TEA! (SPOILER ALERT)
Cynthia will always stand out as most visible BEAUTIFUL face of fashion today! Boris was wrong for not offering to pick up at least a blazer and dress shoes. Eventually Cynthia will get it right, though last night was okay. She’s just starting out in her OWN business that doesn’t require her to display her runway talents. Shout out to Naomi Campbeell for being what we expect from a successful model in giving props to Cynthia. Cynthia’s show was nice, can only get better and with presentation and speaking coaches she will have her own show after RHOA, because we can’t get enough of that beautiful smile,skin,grace and face! Cynthia and her makeup team and designers are by far the most mesmerizing beautiful model ever! Too bad Nicole Murphy is wasting what is yet her peak years trying to and hopefully will be Michael Strahan’s wife. She could BLAZE the covers of any fashion mag. Can really understand his wisdom in that prenup though. How in hell you let someone you’ve known less than 5 months take you for 7 or 8 mil of divorce money? Idiot.
Looked like fun to me, well, other than Phaedra and 63 year old Jasmine Guy, any hoo, I guess Dinevea has been banned form commenting on RHOA??? He has not had a post up since the whole Kenya check thing!
Funky Dinevea has his own website now. Don’t know for how long but love his commentaries.
WTF is kandi wearing? From the shoes to the dress…call the police!!!
LAWD I SAY THE SAME THING ALL OF THE TIME!!! SHE REALLY NEEDS A STYLIST WHO CAN DRESS HER IN CLOTHES FOR HER SHAPE WHICH IS THE ‘REAL DONKEY BOOTY’. BUT I LOVE HER NEW SONG EVENTHOUGH I WISH SHE HAD STFU ON MARVIN SAPP’S PART……..JENNY JONES!!!!
My goodness I thought I was the only one that saw her in that mess of an outfit. She needs help badly and now for herself and for Riley, she had the poor lil thing dressed like a milk maid coming to a pageant. She is totally clueless when it comes to fashion of any kind high fashion or just day to day on the street fashion. Yuck!
LOL!Poor little Milk Maid – I hope her friends don’t laugh as her at school, cause her mama Khandi was the farmer in the dell stomping manure in the field, the spiked heels aerating the furrows where she’s gonna drop little scoops of seeds to plant to grow another broccoli dress.
Everytime Kandi hits the screen I cringe, if it’s not the rough edges on her bad hair weave or her dumpy, tacky, low level fashions. She always looks like she dressing from the sale rack at rainbows. Even the decor in her beautiful house/mansion looks random. I loves me some Riley she is a cute articulate girl, but hher choice of reading glasses do not fit her face the frames are way too big and cumbersome for her young round face. iJS. Love y’all .
I totally agree with all the comments here. She looks tacky every where she goes. Especially that dreadful outfit she wore to Kordell’s birthday. She looked like a deck of cards. Well on things for sure she ain’t spending her money on clothes. She needs a stylist/beautician ASAP!
I was wondering the same thing, the dress and her shoes are too busy to wear together. If she has a stylist they need to be fired and if she doesnt….then she needs to hire one fast. Kandi is a beaufiful woman, but her taste in clothes makes her look cheesey.
Let’s not over look. Pha pha, with her Mrs. Beasley hair styles and dresses designated for the juniors department at Sears. I just wish she would dress more appropriate for her age and not like she over stayed her welcome at the hometown buffet, just stuffed into her clothes all the time. IJS again.
LMAO!! Nothing but the TRUTH!
Derrick has more cleavage (sp) than me.
Boris Looked as if he didn’t want to be there, and it showed in how much care & concern he didn’t show in his wardrobe. However, Boris filled in the time with his jokes (which he is funny by the way), and when He strutted down the runway looking sexy as hail and Cynthia looked good too! She was defiantly in her element (snap! snap! snap!)
I like Kordel he is just a straight to the point type of man no chaser. I get it! He telling Porsha that children are not accessories, and he wants a woman who will be hands on with their children together. Nothing wrong with that.
I noticed that Kenya did not hang with any of the other gurls this time.
You can look at Kandi father,and see that he was FINE in his younger years, He still is a good looking seasoned gentleman.
I see NENE is going to be (Mr. Ghetto Manding- next episode) she never fails. She is just a nasty person. I never liked her, and I still don’t. She is phoney as hell and a shit starter! Cynthnia… is an weird-o to me. She kisssss that lady butt to there is no end. She allows another woman to hang up on her, like she is a child. I wish Nene Would hang up on me. If she ever meets me. She would have met her match. All the controlling comments on Kordell are a joke. Obviously people who are saying that have NO MAN.. or dont know what to look for when they see a real one. Damn. he a black man that loves his wife.. damn!
I said the same thing!!! Kordell is a man laying down the law just like my Dad and Grandfather, I LOVES me a man that put his foot down, no real woman wants a pushover.
I’ve been married for 22 years and Kordell treats his wife with no respect. I guess she excepts it because he has all the money and she brings nothing to the table.
Not to mention that she’s 27 and he’s 40. Even though he’s not old enough to be her dad, he’s more than a generation and that could be difficult. He has plenty age over her and he uses it to his benefit. However, she spends to money to no end and maybe that’s enough for her. Kinda shallow to me though.
Yes I have been married for 21 years and , I agree with you 100% C.Berry Kordell treats her like she is his child and she is a air head that bring nothing to the table.
"Damn. he a black man that loves his wife.. damn!"
*blank stare* Honey, apparently you don’t know what LOVE is. There’s a difference between being protective and being a control freak.
Kordell is most definitely a control freak and treats Porshia like a child instead of a woman. It’s HIGHLY disrespectful the way he treats her (ie cutting her off when she tries to talk, making her do what HE wants her do). It seems like she has no voice or say in that relationship, including how and when to have a baby. And not to mention its extremely bitch-like for him to be all up in her female business. She’s his GROWN wife, not his 12 year-old DAUGHTER.
Phaedra always looks so damn CONFUSED! I agree that Boris coulda threw on a a dress shirt with sum dress shoes. It look like he was on the way to the store for sum eggs & sum1 called him & asked to co-host that pagent last minute!
Who is that lil girl with Kenya, & where is her momma, we all know how badly Kenya wants to be a mom even though the gods have clearly ruled that out for her, but she won’t take the hint!
Porsha looks good, her brain might be as EMPTY as the lot for Chateau Shereé but she keeps her hair on point, and a nice dress on (wonder if Kordell is her hairdresser/stylist O.K)!
Kandi can’t seem to get it together…EVER! That dress was clearly intended for a woman with sum height, without all that junk back there! I’m sorry but whenever I see a donk like that I automatically think it STANKS, especially in that GA heat!
Never noticed how damn THICK Derek J’s neck was..my God! I wish he would stop puttin on woman’s clothing only becuz he look so damn ridiculous with his big swole behind..lookin like Ving Rhames in Holiday Heart!
OMG! You are a damn nut! Lmao!
I agree Tori. This is just my opinion and mine only. If your behind is big like Kandi’s, you have no business wearing outfits like that. I really wish the leggings would go away because someone told these women with these gigantic asses that they look good and they really look hideous. I wouldn’t let my best friend go out looking like that.
LXL: I laugh every time I hear Khandi’s intro with the singing at the end: "I may be (smaaaalll) but…". She is not small – she may be short, but she is not small. She has grown huge to the point that if she sits down in a dress like that, it will rip straight up and down her crack.
Tamar V: What’s the name of the club you think Khandi is dressed for? The Future Farmers of America (FFA)??? the dress looks like a clump of broccoli, is too old, and the shoes look like she was stomping manure in the field. For someonw who owns a "boutique", Khandi is probably the worst-dressed of ALL the "housewives" of ALL the HWivesOf… franchises. She is from our very fashion-forward City of Atlanta, but she is sooo country-fied. Is she THAT cheap that she won’t invest in a stylist and 7 outfits from Neiman Marcus or even Macy’s or even Ross, where they have clothes for big-butt women????She should change the name of her clothing store from TAGS to TACKY.
_________flatlined, I’m straight dead after this comment and can not be revived!!
Preach!!! *Lays down burdens*
Kandi Tiny and Toya thy all have butt shots too make there butts big Phaedra too, I wish Phaedra would pay some one to do her hair and stop doing it her self .
"(wonder if Kordell is her hairdresser/stylist O.K)!"
RIGHT!! Didn’t Porsha say she was Kordell’s dress up doll? >_>
Swole is right! (Like dem deacons in those tight suits going up and down the aisles with dem collection plates on Sundays.Shut up, chile !LOL! Ving did a sweet, compassionant, real good job in that movie…don’t even try to make Derek that good…Ving dressed the part full-on, had a heart and wasn’t a shit stirer like Derek and that clown Lawrence.
I get the feeling Derek and Lawrence dress halfway "there" just to see if they can get a rise out of people so they can fight. They seem to just want somebody to say something negative so they can fight. Instead of wearing a wig and dress, they always wear pants, no wig or women’s hair, like they are saying "Yeah, I’m a man, but I dare you to look at my LV red-bottoms and say anything about my ugly feet or hideous makeup." They are no longer a big deal on TV, so they should just sit down somewhere; gay is no longer a big deal like it seems they want to make it. We see you, D and L!
Swole is right! (Like dem deacons in those tight suits going up and down the aisles with dem collection plates on Sundays.
what? done. lmao
LOL!!!
No you did not say Derrick J looks like Ving Rhames in Holiday Heart! Too funny!!!!!!
Jasmine Guy’s face tells you everything you need to know about this bootleg pageant.
Whew chile…Jasmine did not age well…YIKES..where is Whitley??
I agree regarding Jasmine’s aging. I was shocked at how she looks and I guess I didn’t really think about her being over 60. Nothing wrong with that, but she has the potential to look great.
Kandi and Phaedra…pretty ladies..but pleeeasse get a stylist!! We have been saying this for too long..lol
Correct ! Stylist to the rescue. lOL
If kenya would have worn her crown (which is normal) she would have been "over the top." Since she didn’t, shes not the "real Miss USA." Damned if she do damned if she don’t… smh. She probably knows how to act better then any of the other Atlanta housewives.
true
This is one of the few times I’ve seen Phaedra look nice. Her feet are gigantic for her to be so short though. Kandi…no words. Those gigantic shoes with that outfit were ridiculous. No matter what she puts on, she always looks like she’s going to the club! And I argue with my sister all the time that her booty is real. Is this true? She was so petite in the first season, but I always remember her having a donk. But it just makes her look nasty now. Please get the short hair back.
I really like Kandi too, but she needs help.
Porsha is flawless. Brain empty, but her look is always on point
And can somebody please telly Cynthia and Peter to stop it already with the bootleg events?!?!?!?!
If anyone has butt implants it’s Kandi. I remember her back when she was with Xscape…she had NO ASS AT ALL…now she has a big ole gross donkey ass. GROSS!!!!
i like Kandi and all but she was wrong for that outfit and her chicken legs….Kenya always need to "stand out" so i guess getting the crown out of the attic and getting the dust off of it would be too much..cynthia was gorg but I cant get over Boris outfit. lol cynthia shouldve walked that runway alone and left Boris behind
Kandi alllll ways looks cheap [all that money and tacky as hell] and Jasmine Guy looks old as hell.
Boris Kodjoe needs to be slapped for not changing his clothes, and he seems like an arrogant a-hole.
Geesh can you even ATTEMPT to hide your bias – what do you mean the real Miss USA?? You mean the current Miss USA because Kenya Moore will always be a Miss USA as well as every other winner between her reign and now. UGH – you’re ridiculous!
I actually think that Kandi’s shoes are hot but like ever one else has said, Kandi is tacky, tacky, tacky.
I think Porsha looked so cute in her dress. If she had an ounce of intellect and proper coaching she could have been a pageant winner herself.
I am not impressed with Cynthia throwing together a pageant in 2 weeks. Does anyone get the impression that the Cynthia needed this quick pageant money for that 1st SUV car payment that Peter"gifted" to her? I hope no one believes that he bought that car for her with his own money.
Say whatcha want about Kandi, but she’s got $$$. Maybe that’s why she’s able to stack her chips, and cash out mansions because she’s not throwing her cash away on labels. She dresses how she feels comfortable, and not to anyone else’s standards of how they feel she should look. I don’t always like the way she dresses, or how her hair is done, but who am I to judge? I respect her hustle, she’s self made, and she handles her business. Kudos to you Kandi!
I agree, but you don’t have to spend a lot of money on clothes to like nice. Even Cynthia made that point when she took Nene to a consignment shop in NY. The clothes that I get the most compliments are from either a consignment shop, or the clearance rack at Macys. Btw, you can get top designer wears from TJ maxx and Ross as well. Kandi strikes me at the person that would pick the ugliest outfit on the rack. Price would not matter. I have friends like that. If you gave then a choice between a beautiful blouse and a hideous blouse at $19.99, Kandi would pick the hideous one every time. But like you said it her prerogative to look a hot mess all the time. LOL.
Amen!
The pageant was all a scam for Cynthia to make money. Boris is dressed
For the mall. Kandi cannot dress for her shape and height.
ITA on everything.
Is it me or does Khandi’s clothes always look fresh of the racks of Burlington Coat Factory??
No hon, it’s not you. LOL.
Exactly! Ugh. You can be frugal and not blow money on high end designers, but this has got to stop. I know she wants to be the "regular" woman, but really? Kandi, spend that money because we all KNOW you have it to spend.
Kandi needs to get a stylist. She has too much money to be walking round looking like she shops at Citi Trends. She needs to call Marlo Hampton to be back on the show and get her in on the fashion. People can say what they want, Marlo’s fashion was on point… most of the time!
