    The Real Housewives of Atlanta aired the 20th episode of it’s 7th season last night (April 5, 2015).

    Last week, the ladies embarked on a trip to the Philippines where they all planned to ‘detox’ from all the drama in Atlanta.

    [READ: RECAP: RHOA S7, Ep19 ‘Drama Detox’ + Watch Full Video… ]

    This week’s episode is titled ‘From Zen to Sin’ as the ladies’ travel adventures continues.

    Bravo synopsis:

    In New York, NeNe has a costume fitting for her Broadway debut. In the Philippines, the ladies are reminded of the fun they have together.

    To everyone’s surprise, Phaedra and Kenya come together in a discussion that changes the dynamics of the group.

    Quote of the day:

    ?I didn?t call you a whore this year, once. I called you Satan…

    Recap + watch full video below…

    VIDEO: RHOA S7, Ep20 ‘From Zen to Sin’

    real-housewives-of-atlanta-season-7-720-09Life Lesson #1 – Life is short. Relax and enjoy the view…

    It’s another week of rest and relaxation as the ladies of RHOA enjoy their time in the Philippines.

    For once, there’s a trip with minimal drama and some (i.e. Kandi) attributes the peaceful journey to Nene’s absence.

    Whatever the case, the ladies change venues and leave their spa haven to head for Manilla, where they will embrace several group activities.

    real-housewives-of-atlanta-season-7-720-05Life Lesson #2 – Dreams do come true…

    While her cast mates are ‘bonding’ in the Philippines, Nene Leakes is in NYC preparing for her Broadway debut in Cinderella.

    This week, Nene meets with the costume designer for a fitting, during which, viewers get a few flashbacks of how far she’s come over the years.

    Bravo takes us back to the ‘rich bitch’ fight between Sheree & Nene, followed by several clips of Nene’s various acting gigs over the years.

    I’m not sure if this is a grand good-bye or merely a salute to excellence but whatever the case, Nene still got plenty of screen time this week even thought the ladies were a gazillion miles away.

    RHOA 9729Life Lesson #3 – It’s a blessing to be a blessing…

    During one of their group activities, Pheadra Parks’s tour guide shares a story about her husband’s death and Park’s immediately feels for the woman.

    The woman was left to fend for herself while raising 5 children and Phaedra connects to the story being that her own husband has left her with 2 sons after being locked up.

    To help in her struggle, Phaedra offers the woman a gift in the form of a large tip, which she graciously accepts.

    Phaedra ParksIn addition to her being a blessing to the Philippine stranger, Phaedra reaches out for her own blessings from Apostle Canada.

    [FLASHBACK: Mugshot Mania – Apostle Canada Has Criminal Past… ]

    On last week’s show, Parks agreed to a sit down with Kenya and she calls her Apostle to ask for guidance during the trying time.

    Apostle Canada reassures Phaedra that she can remain calm in the midst of the storm, so she decides to move forward with the ‘sit down’ with her arch nemesis.

    real-housewives-of-atlanta-season-7-720-06Life Lesson #4 – When all else fails, twerk it out…

    They’ve been dragging poor Demetria McKinney all around the world and won’t even give her any airtime! This week though… Demetria gets a few seconds extra as she challenges Porsha Williams to a ‘twerk off’ on the bus.

    The self-professed ‘donkologist’ Phaedra Parks thinks it’s all distasteful and would prefer to utilize her ‘ass’ets through her brainpower.

    Kandi decides to rank the twerk off and calls it all a tie: Porsha has booty and no dance skills, Demetria has dance skills and no butt. Sounds about right.

    real-housewives-of-atlanta-season-7-720-10I find it odd that while they are both supposed to be ‘background characters,’ Porsha gets all the airtime and confessionals while Demetria.. .gets zip, nada… nothing.

    Demetria barely gets shown in scenes, which begs the question… why is she even there?

    On the flip side, it’s looking like Princess THOT (Porsha) may be aiming to grab her peach back (if that’s even possible). Who knows? She’s certainly more entertaining than Clawdia… but I digress.

    real-housewives-of-atlanta-season-7-720-16Life Lesson #5 – When all else fails, play the victim…

    Kenya has been begging for a one on one from Phaedra for a while now and Phaedra finally decides to let her have her say.

    Everybody knows I don’t see it for Kenya Moore, but I commend her for ATTEMPTING to squash the animosity between she and Phaedra. Now that I’ve said something good, let me get into the meat and potatoes of this fake azzzz apology session.

    real-housewives-of-atlanta-season-7-720-19As I’ve said before, I’ve heard RHOA producers have been pressuring Phaedra to ‘forgive’ Kenya for all of her shenanigans and if you’ve been following the show for any length of time, I’m sure you’re about as tired of their beef as the rest of the crew.

    That being said, I commend Phaedra for keeping her cool and allowing Kenya to play the victim.

    It was clearly meant to ‘increase the peace’ and their segment, which was filled with Kenya’s fake tears and Phaedra’s frustration, certainly was a stepping stone to closing out their issue.

    For the record, I think that Kenya totally played the victim by bringing up how Phaedra called her Kenya Moore-Whore but no where in the conversation did she ever admit that she (Kenya) had crossed the line time and time again by her own actions.

    Phaedra’s statement about how Kenya could never understand her standing by her husband at the time probably went over a lot of heads but I caught that shade…

    ATLien Tweet
    I also caught how Kenya kept trying to FORCE Phaedra to believe her. Why does she care so much?? Jeez… the woman said she had bigger fish to fry and Kenya is still trying to force the issue as if it’s all about her. Kenya is kooky and unstable and I’m glad Phaedra handled it as sensitively as she did (plus I’m sure she’s over it (dot) com).

    real-housewives-of-atlanta-season-7-720-20

    …and everyone lived happily ever after (this week).

    [Sidebar: In case you were wondering how long Phaedra & Kenya’s truce lasted, it was probably about as long as the flight back to Atlanta from the Philippines last October. For the record, Phaedra wrote a blog several months after their return, insinuating Kenya had an affair with her husband (CLICK HERE if you missed that).]

    What did you ‘learn’ from this week’s episode of RHOA??

        Straight From the A to the Hall of Fame! This one Straight From the A to the Hall of Fame! This one hits different. 👽🛸

OutKast’s induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame 2025 isn’t just a win for hip-hop — it’s a celebration of Atlanta’s heartbeat. Before there was Real Housewives, Love & Hip Hop, or any Atlanta reality show, there was the Atlanta music scene — real stories, real people, and a creative energy that could only come from the Southside.

I grew up in Southwest Atlanta, and back then, it wasn’t unusual to bump into (or run with) the same circles as OutKast and the Dungeon Family. We were all just young ATL dreamers finding our voices, our style, and our lane. Somewhere along the way, I kinda inserted myself as an unofficial member of that crew, a sister to the culture, always front and center, documenting the movement before “content creator” was even a thing.

When I started blogging in 2007, Straight From The A wasn’t about reality TV or viral gossip. It was about the music, the movement, and the people who put Atlanta on the map. My blog name, my pen name ATLien, my whole digital identity was inspired by @outkast , @goodiemob , @killermike , @ceelogreen @sleepybrown , and the whole Dungeon Family - the original ATLiens who made the world respect the South. 

And Killer Mike — I’ll never forget how you encouraged me to keep pushing nearly 20 years ago when blogging was still that “weird internet thing.”

Today, I celebrate the legends who defined Atlanta’s sound, spirit, and swagger. True innovators. True visionaries. Forever ATL. 👽🛸

After all that eviction tea, the doors are locked and lights out. Big shoutout to @millichun for sliding by to check out the scene! 

Is Kenya really Gone With the Rent? Or is Friday her off day? 👀

        The Kenya Moore Hair Spa drama just got even MESSI The Kenya Moore Hair Spa drama just got even MESSIER, chile! 
The landlord has officially clapped back in court — filing their answer to Kenya’s counterclaim, and whew, they brought receipts on receipts! 

According to the filing, Kenya hasn’t paid a dime in rent or utilities since December 2024, which technically makes her a squatter! 😬 And about that $80K tenant improvement allowance she’s been fighting for? The landlord says she’s in default and violated several terms, meaning that deal is void.

This whole thing is turning into a Bravo-level courtroom saga… minus the peach! 🍑

The full 99-page amended complaint (with all the juicy details) is available now on Patreon + Members Only! http://patreon.com/atlien or hit the link in bio for the exclusive legal tea.

So what do y’all think? Can Kenya spin this, or is the Hair Spa officially a wrap?
