Exactly why the others were annoyed at Kandi...decades in the entertainment and she can go DIRECTLY to the head (in this instance NBCUniversal...Bravo's boss) and make some changes. I could see Porsha feeling a kinda way about it since she's been doing good herself with her new RHOA contract, her now contract with that ent agency, hosting BRAVO CHATROOM, protesting, getting articles in the NY Times, etc. But...she has not been around long enough to do what Kandi did. Heck, I finally was able to read that Voices of Bravo article from a few pages back and did not even realize that Kandi reached out to NENE about this as well. In the middle of Nene and her lawsuit at that. Power. To paraphrase BUFFY...Kandi got it. The other girls don't. This bothers them. Which is what Kenya has said a few times this season as well. Married or not, if Kenya and Bolo had done something the girls would have been all over it. So when Kenya does it, they want to grab their pearls? I agree with the antiheroine label.

@Cheap But yes, Marceline, I feel like that will probably go down with Blanca thus the spa scenes in the trailer. Oh while I'm here...this last season is only SEVEN episodes. And they're showing the first two premiere night.

Bravo is announcing that POTOMAC is returning in the summer.

Ding, ding, ding. lol. Well thankfully, someone was kind enough to do an article about this and I'm not sure if I'm allowed to post from that site so let me see if I can break down what happened: During the height of BLM and Bravo firing people right and left, Bravo was going to open a dialogue about race. Problem? They were only going to do it by streaming/Intrasgram. KANDI, who was wanting to talk to Bravo about changes about how the network dealt with race, got wind of this and emailed them, saying they should do it in prime time as a special to reach a wider audience. She also suggested they used Bravolebrities. Bravo agreed. The result? The RACE IN AMERICA specials that Bravo aired. Meanwhile, Kandi asked Bravo to work with more black owned production companies and hire more from well known black universities. Basically what we have been saying in other threads on these boards about how representation...true representation...should be in front of AND behind camera. That way people get to experience what it was like to be around other races and have diversity. Kandi told Porsha, Tanya, and Marlo about reaching out to Bravo. And they...did not take kindly to that. Kandi was shocked, especially since it seem they were mostly annoyed that Kandi reached out to Bravo without discussing it first. So Kandi got annoyed...especially at Porsha who at that point was very active in the BLM movement as well. The disagreement supposingly got leaked to the press. So FILMED ON THE SHOW Kandi confronted Porsha about all of this. BUT...that scene WAS CUT. The problem? A lot of Kenya's actions after that was filmed since she walked into the middle of the conversation when it was filmed WAS NOT CUT OUT OF THE SHOW, making it seem like she was just 'being the villain.' Said scene would have revealed her motivations for all she said in the first place, giving the slow burn needed to that bachelorette party I've said months ago. Kenya had already discussed this scene (even on one of Kandi's SPEAK ON IT I believe) and accused Porsha of begging producers to cut the footage per the image she was showing this season since the conversation put Porsha in a not nice light since it seem clear she was jealous of Kandi for being active in BLM as well. I believe you mentioned the interview Kandi did with Vulture above. Well so did Porsha. Last night. On her LIVE. Before last night, people have asked her about this before now. But she has been mute. Last night she defended her part in the situation. However she also admitted YES SHE ASKED PRODUCTION TO CUT THE SCENE. aka KENYA WAS RIGHT. aka UH OH. Porsha also confirmed that Kandi and Porsha had cleared up this disagreement but it went left when Kenya walked over and Kandi and Porsha fell out. So Porsha knew how it would look...BAD...so she went to them to take it out. Thus, Kenya who was right does not like being made to look like a liar and the running rumor is that she brought this up at the reunion...AND WE MIGHT SEE THE SCENE TOO...and she brought receipts to back this up. She really felt that Porsha must be using BLM for personal reasons if she is going to be pressed about Kandi also supporting BLM...and if as they are all black women supporting the same cause...why is Porsha pressed? Why does she not own it? And THAT brings us to what you said above...cuz if that comes out...that brings us back to a few months ago when some of us here were debating if Porsha's activism was real or not...and that answer would become murky I suspect with the new scene in question. I knew Porsha was already marching before filming so I feel she was being real and raising awareness. But being jealous of Kandi for doing the same...is not a good look. She could have pivot from that, but kinda chose not to per her constant rivalry with Kenya. Bad form. And thus mess. I feel like I forgot something but that is the basis I believe.

Did you happen to see the tweet where someone compared her signature on the note she gave to LVP over her brother's passing over some legal documents she did back in the day? If that wasn't enough of a smoking gun I don't know what is.

Okay, I might be convinced to watch the whole season if people keep shading Erika like they are all over Twitter and here...soooo many people have been picking on her makup now. It's hilarious. If it turns out to be true that (someone leaked) they are going to stay on Erika. Thus her snapping like in the promo...I might even hatewatch to watch that bitca fall.

Ahhhhh...the article that really started it all. How timely. Meanwhile, any thoughts on Porsha's LIVE last night when she talked about a bit of what's coming up at the reunion before she turned it into a real life moment that was much needed given what's going on in the world...and people's reactions to her doing that since they just thought it was just going to be a 'reality tv' thing? Also telling. As for Erika...it's funny seeing her in these promos. Meanwhile, articles are dropping daily about how she is doing everything she can to BLOCK those victims getting the money that is due them. Also loving how evidence continues to paint her as being in the KNOW.

See? Better promo.

Thank you for letting me know.

Good for your niece @Ponds

It's Gizelle. Apparently Monique said somewhere that the gatekeeper was not Andy. Hmmm...we'll see. Saw the reunion trailer. Interesting that Season 9 with Porsha vs Kandi came up. And LOVE Kenya calling Drew out on her fakeness. Otherwise...meh. They need a new production team. ETA: I agree with you. Not ready at all for NJ. It was really, really good before my system went out and I found the psychic scary. At least it seems like Sutton stays on Erika's neck. You are welcome re: Family Karma Season 2. You seen the trailer yet? They barely touched the cast and look like those Aunties are back.

Oh no! I hope Mishael is okay.

They really did. I was talking about them to my coworker today. Lord how I miss them. And they both have aged so well. Hmmm Tom....I mean...lol.

RHOA I can't see it yet due to internet problems this morning...but YOU ALL CAN!!!

@Cat I agree. When this started and during the run up to the election I came here to the board because I find only facts and balanced opinions for which I have been thankful for in these crazy times as well. For me, it was the fact that it was said that He Who Shall Not Be Named was wanting everyone to get Moderna due to his stock in the company allegedly that turned me off from wanting it. All about his ego that 'man' when Pfizer was ready to go long before Moderna.

Hehe. @dragonflies finally watching the SMALLVILLE scenes in the crossover that was part of your avatar forever....LOVE. But I am loving all the little Superman shoutouts.

NJ I am shocked to say that I don't want this season to end. It's been THAT good. 30 minutes in and my tv system wants to go out. AGAIN. smh. Anyway, I'm in the middle of the seance and WOW. I just wanted to say that given the real and fake ones that have gone through the HW shows, this one seems legit. Chills!!!! Meanwhile... POTOMAC

Wow...your mall gave a choice? Yeah, if given a choice...I would have went with Pfizer. But...they gave me Moderna. Not looking forward to Shot 2...more because my jobs are being surprisingly not accommodating considering they wanted me to do it in the first place. I know both have trainees right now, but after a year of this and no vacation time in sight (okay for my bday this year yes...now if it is somewhere or a staycation we will see), my claws have come out because simply put, like we leaving my job of 8 years to do what's best for me...I feel that it's time for me to think of my next steps, planning my next steps, and nothing like a pandemic to make you remember why you left your job of 8 years in the first place...basically to live your life and follow your dreams, NOT be entrapped into things that do not make you happy. My apologies for that tangent. Ewwww...I hope you are able to find Pfizer like your parents though. Good energy sent your way. @Juliajms Oooooh, don't get me started on Mexico. At some point, I will have to go down there to Mexico City within the next two years (at least my head says that; my heart on the other hand...) and the things I've heard have me greatly worried.

LINEAR NOTES!!! RHOA REUNION TRAILER will dropped TOMORROW. If not...B Scott seems like he will drop it anyway. lol. NJ film their reunion TOMORROW as well. New BH promo shows more Erika vs Sutton. Apparently, Erika said 'if you call me a liar, I'm coming for you.' Me: GIRL, BYE. lol.

But as other people has said online you want to say that but let several shows get 'political,' not realizing it is not the political views she has that was the problem, it was her racist views. But I guess he's just blind. Color blind. It's time for his dirty laundry to come out already.

SHUT UP, ANDY!!!! TV Deets on Twitter: "“Bravo is supposed to be escapism, and I don’t personally think that the people on Bravo should be on trial for their political and cultural views.” Andy Cohen opened up to @Vulture about why he hasn’t fired Kelly Dodd from #RHOC. 👀 🔗: https://t.co/zCZUzWKsii https://t.co/FFbNbb1WhN" / Twitter

Well if rumors (and a brief tweet from LeeAndra) are to be believed...LeeAndra STILL managed to light Brandi up...bad audio or not. I agree Drew and Latoya are both thirsty. However, I don't feel that Latoya is fake about it. It reminds me of Kenya in Season 5 for sure. All of that extra, but can't say she's boring. And now just like Kenya, she appears to be trying to change or mellow a bit...but those scenes that apparently exist are on the cutting room floor. Meanwhile, Drew is just fake with that fake niceness and it's been so obvious from a few episodes into the season. Good moments, but she is so transparent...just like her husband. They truly are RHOA's answer to NJ's Amber and Jim. I hope she stays another season just so what Nuthin said a few pages back happens....all the girls target her for her messiness. I missed that! re: Marc. Wow.

In 10 days. Oh? So I WILL BE ready to ho earlier than my bday after all this year. Great!!! jk. Well...you can do it for me then. 😜

But...le sigh... @Soaplovers I was not at all hating on Kameron. I enjoyed every minute of it and found it surprsingly relateable. And I agree with you. The fact she was not there when Louie definitely factors in too.
