This week’s episode is titled ‘Read School is in Session‘ and it picks up as the ladies continue their couple’s trip to Jamaica.
Bravo synopsis:
In the aftermath of the rumors regarding Kim’s husband’s sexuality, Phaedra and Nene offer her some advice on how to stand up against the accusations.
Meanwhile, back in Atlanta, Kandi and Todd struggle to convince a hesitant Aunt Bertha to take part in their family restaurant idea. Will they ever be able to get her on board with the rest of the gang?
As the trip begins to ‘wind down’ in Jamaica, tensions hit a peak between Kim and Kenya, causing Cynthia to once again be caught in the middle.
This week’s episode picks up with Sheree Whitfield revealing to Kim Fields that the ladies were all speaking about Kim’s husband’s sexuality.
While Sheree has reportedly said she was ‘just keeping it real’ it seems she was keeping things REAL MESSY by speaking up on the matter when she, herself, was even entertaining it.
Sheree admits that she even googled Kim’s husband alongside Phaedra and Porsha and they all discovered old posts about him being gay.
Just FYI, Kenya wrote a bravo blawg about the situation stating that she feels it was Phaedra who started the gay rumor… but clearly it was KENYA who took the bait and Sheree followed by fanning the flames by delivering the news.
Who’s really the snake here? Sheree for bringing Kim the ‘news’ or Kenya for running with it??
Moving on…
Nene Leakes and Phaedra Parks decide to give a few ‘reading’ lessons to Kim Fields. Phaedra admits that she saw flashbacks when Kenya went for Kim’s husband and she advises Kim to go for the jugular.
Kim is going to have to stand up for herself because Kenya knows she can bully her. And the only way to stop a bully is to punch them square in the face… boop! ~ Phaedra Parks
Phaedra and Nene give Kim a hilarious lesson on what to say to someone like Kenya and even offer Kim a role play session to her amusement.
Kim seems to take it all in stride and it’s great seeing the ladies enjoying a lunch with no drama.
When they google you, you got them shook…
Kim’s husband, Christopher Morgan, has returned to the states, so Kim fills him in on all of the drama that has occurred since his departure.
As Kim tells her husband about the gay rumors and the googlers, he is quite unaffected and offers his wife a few ‘reads’ of his own.
“Google has more on every lady AND they’re husbands, than they do on me…” ~ Christopher Morgan
Kandi is VERY pregnant when this episode was taped, so she and Todd are back in Atlanta holding it down. In addition to preparing for their new arrival, Kandi & Todd are moving forward with their ‘Old Lady Gang’ restaurant idea.
Aunt Bertha is the only one who seems to be hesitant about the idea so Todd decides to do a taste test to convince her to take part in the family restaurant.
Things seem to go well with the Chef they’ve chosen and Aunt Bertha finally seems to be on board with the idea.
“I finally locked down the ‘O.G.’ of the ‘O.L.G.’s’…. it’s on now! We’re opening a restaurant!” ~ Todd Tucker
The group gets together for a dinner in Jamaica and the ladies encourage Kim and Kenya to squash their issues.
Nene brings up the fact that she and Phaedra had talked to Kim about Kenya and she encourages Kim to tell ‘Kray-onc?’ what her issues are.
Kim gets the floor and issues the following ‘read’:
I feel at some point Kenya, you’ve crossed the line into disrespect with me that just will not be tolerated…. so let’s have no communication or cordial communication.
But at the end of the day, you’re not going to talk about my family, you’re not going to talk about me and I think it’s highly unfair and disrespectful.
Cynthia interrupts before Kenya responds and tells Kenya that she does owe Kim an apology for the way she acted when she pulled out Kim’s chair.
Surprisingly, Kim’s grown up ‘read’ combined with Cynthia’s statement was totally effective and it prompts Kenya to issue an ‘apology’ of sorts.
While there’s certainly a deeper issue brewing with Kenya (i.e. she’s batsh*t crazy), her ‘apology’ seems to be enough to appease the group… for now.
Kenya may have played nice with Kim Fields, but she’s still feeling ‘somekindaway’ about her friendship with Cynthia Bailey.? True… the ladies still have a ‘friendship’ but apparently Cynthia doesn’t feel as strongly for Kenya as Kenya does for her.
Moore even comments about Nene’s return being the reason for her declining ‘friend’ status, which prompts Nene to issue a warning of her own…
‘Nene’s gonna always be around now, so you have to wear that hat.? She may be gone for a couple weeks, but she’s back.? She ain’t never leaving. NEVA!? It ain’t got nothing to do with you and Cynthia’s relationship and I’ve made that very clear.’ ~ Nene Leakes
Kenya admits that she’s been in her feelings the entire trip and that her bad actions stemmed from her jealousy.? Cynthia accepts her apology but being that these are all GROWN women, this all seems way too high-schoolish to be believable.
“I’m not believing this apology.? Kenya Moore does MORE bad acting…” ~ Phaedra Parks
