Original subtitles

- Previously, on The Real Housewives of Atlanta...

I was born and raised right here in Atlanta, Georgia.

So, y'all already know I got friends in low places.

Porsha and I have known each other decades.

- You could've never told me a couple months ago

that I would be filin' for a divorce and leaving' Simon.

- I met Kelli 'cause she came in on my radio show.

- I got married. I had children.

I created a business.

I'm ready to build this mother----in' waffle empire,

one waffle at a time.

- And, of course, she's friends with Brit.

Kelli, my baby!

- This was actually Ralph's office.

Where is he?

We had a court order,

and he got moved to the basement.

- Nuh-unh.

- And then Drew is really good friends

with the Angela Oakley.

- Put some respect on my husband's name, right, baby?

- Right. I know that's right. - Yes.

[laughing]

- And in this friend group, I am the glue.

You know, last year, I didn't get a party.

Shiloh was still in the NICU.

So, this year, I'm pulling out all the stops.

[cheering]

- I heard through the grapevine

that Drew is dating Dennis.

- Well, Drew, I would be inauthentic if I didn't ask.

Are you dating Dennis now?

- What? - What?

**

**

- And I'm gonna tell you why I'm asking.

- Why? - Three people have said

that they saw y'all out at the club.

Y'all were booed up...

- Stop playin'. - Matchin'. I swear.

- Ahh, not matching! - Matching?

- I better not find out that anybody is booed up

with, uh, Peter Anthony Thomas with a matching outfit on.

- I know they didn't do the prom matching outfits.

- Definitely not be booed up with Leon nowhere

with a matching outfit on.

- Ain't nothin' professional about matchin' outfits.

- I'm gonna need them not to even be booed up

with James Michael Hill with a matching outfit on.

Please find somebody else to match with and boo up with.

- You've been in the industry how long?

- Well... - Why Dennis?

- Porsha and I, we talked about it, and I did--

- No. - I did. You called me.

- I mean, I was talkin' to Dennis,

something about Pilar last minute,

and he was like, "Oh, um,

"can you come to Drew's birthday party?"

Yeah.

- But I had just wiped my face off, so I didn't come.

So, the next day, you posted a picture.

- Yes. - And I was like,

she is not lookin' like herself.

She is just, like, washed. I was like let me call her.

Washed?

- Not washed-- washed like-- - Washed?

- Washed like, goin' through.

- No, but you-- all right 'cause no makeup on.

I didn't have no makeup on.

- Like I said, she was washed.

So, then anyway, I--

- Is it washed when you have no makeup?

- No, 'cause I look good with no makeup.

- It wasn't her face. It was stress. - Okay.

- Anyone going through a divorce,

you know what that looks like. - Absolutely.

- The next day, I called her,

and I said, "Are you okay?"

And then you brought up Dennis, and you were like...

- I had no--

No, Drew did not tell me anything at all,

- whether she was-- - Uh, uh, oh, really?

- And-and by the way, let me preface this by saying

- I do not care. - It seems like you care.

I literally scrolled,

saw somethin' about 'em in a studio,

and I went and made somethin' for dinner.

You know what I'm saying?

Like, I don't got nothin' to do with that.

- I said a rumor. - Somebody said that y'all

came through the club together, holding hands.

- Y'all was booed up. - Girl, that's a lie.

- This is-- I'm just-- I'm just--

that's why I wanted to ask you myself.

- Can I talk 'cause I can just put this to bed?

- Yes. - It's very simple.

I had reached out to you many times, and you were--

- Drew, use a text, honey. Come on.

- Hold on. I let you talk.

That's not something you text.

- It wasn't something I was gonna text.

Yeah, I agree.

- Let me tell you, from the beginning.

I opened up for Tamar Braxton.

Dennis reached out to my management

about me hosting the official after party,

and he did a whole professional pitch

about working with me on my music.

- That's good. - And so,

I told you on the phone, I said, "Listen,

Dennis has been my angel on earth

because at a time with everything I'm going through,

which we haven't been able to talk--

- Drew, that don't sound right.

- Because my music has been my therapy.

- And that's beautiful. - And I was like,

"I'm so excited for you to hear it."

And I did ask Dennis. I said,

"Did you get a chance to talk to Porsha

"'cause I ain't been able to catch up with her

"'cause she's been busy?"

He said, "I asked her for her blessing,

"and she gave it to me."

- Y'all really have to stop lying to each other about me.

- I wanna say this on record, okay?

- Y'all have to stop. - At the end of the day,

Dennis has been like a brother to me since me, you,

- Ralph, and I all hung out. - A brother?

- "I didn't sleep with him. I just, Porsha--"

and she didn't raise her voice, not one time,

and I'm like, say somethin'. Did you sleep with him or not?

Tell the girl before she come over here with us!

- He was like, "I need you to record this song--

- Wow! - Because this song is for me and Porsha."

He was in the studio, and he cried.

Oh.

- And I have stayed out of whatever y'all got going on.

- Y'all cried together. - Together.

- But let me tell ya-- that man loves you,

and I don't want you to ever think for one second

that I would ever be dealing with your baby daddy.

- Okay, are you done? - Oh.

Oh, wow, the posturings.

- Let's set Dennis to a side, all right?

'Cause you can marry him, (BLEEP) him, or kill him.

I don't care.

I've done nothing but root for you.

You understand that?

With your hair, I said, "You know what?

"You can come work for GoNaked.

"Come be an ambassador." I did all of that.

And we did.

- And all of that was because I care for you.

My problem with you is this.

You are a lowdown, dirty individual.

[sighs]

And you know what I'm talkin' about.

Since this phone call that you're talking about,

oh, about you told me about Dennis and all of that,

you've done some lowdown sh-- to me,

- very ----in' lowdown. - What did I do?

- And I'm here to tell you-- you got the wrong one.

You're ----ing with the wrong one.

- But what did I do? I'm so confused.

- Is a producer here? Can I break the fourth wall?

Yes.

- All right. - Break it. - Come on, y'all.

- What did I do? - All right.

You know that we are all on this show together.

- Mm-hmm. - We have our family.

We have our friends.

We have our own support systems.

- Mm-hmm.

- You have been trying to go behind my back

- and do something very dirty. - What did I do?

- By asking Dennis to film with you.

- Whoa. - What?

- Yes! - I never did.

- You've been trying to get him to film.

- Never. - Well, he has it.

He showed me the text message, Drew.

- I never-- I texted him? - Drew, please stop.

- No, this ain't even that deep.

I got pissed because the bitch was trying to film

with my baby daddy on the show.

I don't know how many times I gotta say that.

- Drew never discussed with me

filming with my child's father.

Your wanting to film with him is complicating my life.

Her sneakin' around with Dennis--

I could care less.

What I care about, is...

because of this whole divorce, I'm stressed as (BLEEP),

and now I gotta deal with my baby daddy, girl.

It's that simple.

- Is that bad? - I feel like-- I--

- 'Cause they're not together. She's a whole married woman.

- Yeah, I mean-- - I really don't give a sh--

about what else you have going on.

- Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. What?

- I get it. She's married, but it's her baby daddy.

- I never did that. - Guys, one at a time!

One at a time. One at a time. One at a time.

- What was the second part? I missed it.

- I never did. - The second part was,

she called production and told them

that she was setting up a photoshoot

for my company, GoNaked. Your team called producers.

- Yes, I am planning an amazing photoshoot for GoNaked.

- Nobody asked you to film a photoshoot for my company!

Are you insane? You are an influencer.

- But I didn't know that was an issue.

- Are you crazy? - No.

- You have a contract to wear hair!

I'm lost.

- You are an awful - ---in' slimy-ass bitch.

- You know that. - Ooh.

- I didn't do anything wrong. - No, you definitely did!

- This is a lot, and it's like--

- If you're gonna lie, you can lie.

- Well, do y'all wanna get some cake?

- Porsha says that Drew is lying.

Well, all I can say is, it won't be the first time,

and I love Drew, but she's been caught in a fib,

or two, or three, or four.

- Girl, are you serious? - I gave you an opportunity,

and you're gonna turn around and stab me in my back?

- But no one did anything. - Come on.

Let's go sing "Happy Birthday," y'all.

- You're playing a game, and you're not gonna win.

- I'm taken aback. I'm confused.

You know, this is somebody I consider to be a friend,

and there's no real clear indication

as to why she's upset with me.

It's kind of all over the place.

Is it I'm working with Dennis on music?

Is it the GoNaked shoot?

It's just like, girl, she wanna be mad at me,

so she mad at me. So, let's go.

My people would talk to your people.

- Drew, just stop talking to me. - Girl...

- This is crazy. - Okay, come on. Okay.

- Let's go sing "Happy Birthday!"

If you are my real friend,

meet me downstairs at the bar by the pool.

It's time for the real turn up.

I have had such a tumultuous year

from finding out my surrogate has breast cancer

to Shiloh having all of these health challenges,

and I'm like, damn, I feel like

I deserve to eat a piece of cake,

and I should be able to get wet,

literally and figuratively.

And one, and two, and you know what to do!

**

Coming up next...

You were his fourth wife?

- Fifth. - Fifth?

- Fifth because there was another marriage

that was a fake marriage.

**

**

It smells good in here.

You want some wine, babe?

- Uh, I don't drink white wine.

- Excuse me. - Anyway, listen,

he was mad about the kitchen this mornin'.

I thought I cleaned it.

- I'm sayin' I don't wanna come in dirty.

- So, if I'm-- if I'm cook-- - It was-- it wasn't dirty.

Yes, it was.

- My husband, Charles, he played in the NBA,

mainly with the New York Knicks and the Chicago Bulls.

Charles cooks. He cleans.

He's like, a dream come true.

- I'm sorry you had to deal with my mess.

- We share four beautiful children.

I have Ahmauri, who is 24,

Avan, who is 11.

Charles has Charlie Junior,

and we share Arleigh, who is seven.

The food looks--

- I can't wait to eat. - Yes, right.

- Yeah, the food always gonna be good.

- Charles and I met in Chicago at a party.

We exchanged numbers, and then,

I didn't hear from that man for another ten years

when we became neighbors in the same condominium.

I feel like our relationship was destined to happen.

I think these came from my client.

- She knew I was going through it.

She knew I was just depressed.

- The get well soon. - What am I sick about?

[laughing]

I know.

I own a financial consulting company.

I am a self-made millionaire.

There is not a dollar I don't want.

I bought five properties that I am currently renovating,

trying to sell.

I will not let go until it's finished

because I feel like, if I let go,

I'm giving up on everything I've worked for

- the past three years. - Right.

So, how was the all-white party y'all went to?

- Shamea's house is, like, exquisite,

and then her husband bought her a Cullinan.

Oh.

[utensils clattering in background]

[Charles chuckles]

- Why you keep slammin' dishes?

- That's what I-- that's what I do

when I'm in the kitchen.

- 'Cause you don't want to hear me talking about this Cullinan.

- He slams down in the kitchen. I hear.

- Anyway, apparently, Drew's music,

she's doing it with Porsha's ex-boyfriend.

Oh.

- And I don't think Drew shoulda did it with him.

- Right. - But, you know,

she had a reason, so I kinda-- I see both sides.

Anyway...

- I don't wanna hear about that story.

- I mean, she's doin' work with her ex-boyfriend.

- Okay, you did some work with your ex-boyfriend.

Never. Well...

- Oh, yeah, well, what?

- [laughing] - Clocked.

Yeah.

- But it wasn't-- - Have your own party.

Let them talk about you. Don't talk about them.

- I just wanted to know about the party.

- I just wanted to know about-- - Don't be a follower. Be a leader.

- The secret for loving a man like Charles,

is just letting him be who he is.

I just wouldn't want, you know...

- Yeah. - ...any of my friends

working with Charles, if he's my ex.

- Yeah. - You know what I mean?

- I'm not gonna work with none of them lames.

- [laughing] - Charles and I sometimes

can get in our own head, and he won't hear me.

I won't hear him.

And through therapy, I realized

I wanted him to change, then I realized

that I, you know, I have faults, too.

- Finally, we get you out of your room.

Are you Bruce Lee, dad?

- Why you say that? - 'Cause you got that.

- 'Cause you got the kung fu band on your head.

- Really? You got jokes, too, huh?

**

**

**

- Hey! - Hey, right on time.

- We're kinda matching. - I know, right?

[laughing]

- I hope they have, like, an espresso martini

'cause I have so much work to do.

You wanna stay up tonight?

- Yes. - Oh.

- 'Cause I gotta get Brooklyn in bed.

- Yeah. - And, you know,

she tries to sneak in my bed.

- Nuh-unh. - Is Pilar doing that?

- No. So, I had a night nurse

to help me train her in her room.

Kenya and I have definitely had

this love-hate relationship.

Miss America 1990...3?

- Miss USA. - Miss USA, I'm sorry.

- Okay, okay. Bye, Porsha!

Okay, bye, ashy.

- Porsha repeated lies about Kandi.

- You're lyin' about your marriage.

I think that after we had kids,

there's a newfound respect for each other.

I mean, we old as hell now. Why keep fightin'?

- You have a little cold? - Um, ma'am...

- Thank you. - When you left the party,

she had us jump in the pool. It was like--

- And you didn't push Drew in the water?

I would never.

- I had met with Drew a couple of days before.

- Okay. - When she mentioned

Dennis and the music, I was like...

[laughing] Wait, Dennis and music?

I didn't-- I never heard those two things

- together before. - Water.

Thank you.

- So, he did do a kids album for my daughter.

- But I was just like, okay, that's weird.

And she was like, "Yeah, yeah, I spoke to Porsha.

She gave me her blessing, you know."

- Because she kinda writes things out in her mind,

or has things set up a certain way,

I often, as her friend,

don't know what she's about to say or do.

Okay.

- But I am a person who roots for her.

- Yes, yes. - Just go along with it.

The only thing that set me off at the party

was me now finding out you are also trying to

film with him on here without telling me.

Dennis is my co-parent. We have a great relationship,

and when it's good, it's good.

When it's Dennis the menace and Petty P, it is bad.

- Go! - You ain't gotta yell!

- Yo, yo, chill, chill. Yo, chill!

- Get out! Go! - Chill. (BLEEP) you!

I ain't gotta be here!

- And I don't want him to film anything

that's gonna compromise the growth that we have had.

"Dennis is like a brother, at this point."

- Like, he is-- no, but-- - Hmm. I don't know.

I think he's trying to have his cake and eat it, too.

He's like, oh, I'm gonna get that old thing back.

No.

Our family, right now, is very vulnerable,

and Drew should be trying to protect me, as her friend,

the same way I have protected her.

- I saw you, um, doing some spinning the block

but in your little-- in your Rolls Royce

that-that your- your estranged husband

said he took from you. [laughing]

- I saw you. - I'm like wait a minute, now.

- What? - He did this post.

- I question-- - What post?

I mean, how many posts has he done?

- Like, I can't keep up with him. - A million.

[laughing]

- So, how did y'all get to this place, though?

- I did not know that certain things

he was lying to me about.

I remember there was this one time we were on the jet,

and, like, we just got surrounded.

It got kinda scary, like, with the police and stuff.

And I was like, "What's going on?"

So, he was like, "There was this one time,

I was sitting in a car, and I didn't know

that the car was stolen." And he said,

"Being a person who has a green card,

you can't have anything on your record,

so that's why they're continuing to harass me."

It's true.

- So, when the judgement got released into the press

about him being married, you know,

some scamming in the past, some, uh, credit card fraud,

and being deported, and this, and da-da-da,

I literally was like, what-what-what is all of this?

- So, you're his-- you were his fourth wife?

- Fifth. - Fifth?

- Fifth because there was another marriage

that was a fake marriage. Yeah.

Okay.

- Yeah, but after I filed for divorce,

one night, I'm laying in my mom's house.

My phone beeps.

One of the cameras is still on in the living room.

He's got women in the house.

When I really knew that Simon was my person

was when I was writing my book,

and him reading about trauma in my past from men,

and him saying, "You're safe."

- Don't bring hos up in my house.

- Where our children are. - No.

- But feeling like I had a man who was honest to me,

is the very thing that slipped away at the end.

- He is acting straight crazy. - Uh, straight donkey.

- Every day, I'm like, how do I stop these notifications?

[laughing]

Coming up next...

- I'm giving him my money. I'm giving him my businesses.

It's like I'm in a season where I'm putting me first.

This is not to hurt anybody.

This is literally to keep me and my kids above water.

**

I'm so excited.

- I've only been here one time before.

- Remember, you broke that, um, emergency exit?

- Let's put that to the back. [laughing]

- Whoa. - Wow. No.

- Oh, my God. - Wow.

I know.

It's still so much we have to do.

- You think this is gonna be open by July 15th?

- I need you to be positive Patty.

[laughing]

I started Nana's Chicken & Waffles

in 2016.

I didn't have a culinary background.

I learned to cook from my mother and my grandmother.

It's like the perfect Nana's, and I really feel like

this is gonna be, like, my franchise model.

- We're a month out. That's one thing I really want--

- You told me that already. [laughing]

- Yeah, but I really wanna reiterate that.

You have a little wiggle room with that but...

- Al, is that you? - Kelli!

- So, currently, I only have one location, right now,

the McDonough.

My first original location was in Conyers, Georgia,

but my ex-husband closed the Conyers location.

And finding out that I had to vacate the property

put so much stress on me financially.

- We are not gonna make it in time for the grand opening.

- What do you mean? - We've got permitting.

We've got the kitchen buildout. Renovations haven't begun.

As your project manager, it's my job to communicate

when we're in jeopardy. Kelli, we are in jeopardy.

- Listen, we're gonna get it done.

- From a timeline perspective-- - Let's get it done.

- There's three things that we gotta do imm-immediately.

What do you need? Okay.

- We've got to get the kitchen buildout.

At least select the items you want.

- Okay, that's fine. That's fine.

That's fine. That's fine.

My goal is to build generational wealth

for my daughters.

My ex-husband has not paid any child support

unless it's been court ordered.

So, being a single mom of four, I can't afford to drop the ball.

- We're gonna make this happen. - Okay.

- Sorry, I done swigged this from the top, my brother.

- I got you a cup next time. I promise.

- Oh, my God. - For sure.

**

- You get the Clicquot? - Yes, the pink one.

My man.

We gonna watch that movie I was telling you

- that I wanted to see on Netflix? - Yes.

- And not be on your phone. - I'll try.

- I can't make no promises. - What do you mean, babe?

That's the consideration part that I talk about.

- Here we go with the consideration-ness.

- Me and Mike got married during COVID.

I met Mike when I launched my insurance agency,

and Mike was my client.

So, I didn't wanna date my client,

so we became friends.

And probably about after two or three months

of him Facetiming all the time, I was like, wait a minute.

I gotta watch out for you.

Plus, it's been a long week, you know.

We've got the renovations, and they've been taking forever.

- We can't put no more money into it.

- We're not gonna get it out. - I know.

So, basically, instead of all the over the top things

that I want, we just do enough.

So, that way, we could sell it and then get my dream home

- that you promised me. - I'll think about it.

- We dated, and we went on our first trip to Vegas,

and I said, "Mike, now, I'll come to Vegas with you,

but you're not gettin' none."

When I tell you, we had the best time,

I was like, okay, he might be the one.

Eventually, when-when we have the baby,

I would like for my mom to move in.

But since she's here now,

I want her to be able to have a nice room.

There's no reason why my mom should be upstairs next to us.

- No, we'll-we'll fix it.

- I mean, you don't want my mom upstairs next to us,

- do you? No. - Not really, no.

- I got into the insurance industry because my dad

always stressed the value of being your own boss.

So, I launched my insurance agency,

and nobody can say a man gave me anything.

I built this business.

So, do you wanna have the baby in this house,

or do you wanna wait for the new house?

And it's not a prerequisite 'cause I know

- you always think that. - But why is everything--

I-I know.

Why does everything have to be so planned-ish? Like...

- Because we're adults, and I'm the planner,

and you're the throw it against the wall.

- And see if it sticks. - See if it sticks.

Right.

- You can't see if a baby sticks, honey.

You think I can be pregnant, and you show no emotions?

I'm just curious.

- I think-- I think you'll be okay.

- We were talking, mom, about you selling the house,

and then you moving in, and you helping with the baby

'cause you know we're getting pregnant this year.

- Allegedly. - Finally.

- Stop saying, "Allegedly." See?

You-you see the negative energy you're putting out

- in the universe? - A-allegedly.

- No, she is. - I told my mom the same thing.

My mom used to think I wasn't gonna have a baby,

and I was just gonna walk around with a frickin' poodle all day.

- I-I-I hear her but... - Mimosa, baby!

Mike has a son. He's 15.

And Mike really wants to experience being a girl's dad,

so we wanna do IVF because we wanna choose the sex.

- Let's go get in the sauna. - Okay.

- Mike, you coming? - No, this a mother-daughter.

- No, ab-absolutely-absolutely, positively not.

- I don't like the heat. - So, this--

but, baby, I love you. I love you.

- I know, and-and love is important.

- Call me before you leave. - Gotcha.

**

[dog barks]

Coming up next...

- She is literally saying something completely different

than what you're telling me right now.

- So, you think I'm banging Drew.

**

- Hello. How are you? - Hi. Good.

- I'm Shamea. Here to see Shadina.

- Okay, let me take you in. You can follow me.

- Shadina! - Hi.

Hey, baby mama.

- How are you? - I'm good. How are you?

- You look great. Aww, you're too sweet.

You look amazing.

- You're always giving me flowers.

Thank you.

- Oh, my gosh, they look so good and voluptuous.

- Thank you. - How are you feeling?

I got a whole new body.

I'm, honestly, I'm feeling blessed.

I met Shadina through Kandi.

- Remember when we said we were gonna let you

see your little sister today?

Well, today, we're gonna see her on the screen,

but she's in Miss Shadina's belly.

- I found out she had a surrogacy agency,

Surrogacy Miracles, with Dr. Jackie,

and she agreed to be the surrogate for Shiloh.

- It's not as bad as-as I thought it would've been

considering the mastectomy.

- Shadina was around 32 weeks when she got diagnosed

with breast cancer,

and it was a very aggressive form.

So, Shiloh needed to be born yesterday.

Was it an onset from being pregnant?

- A lot of people thought that, and it was not at all.

- Really? - No, it was not connected.

Now, I'm gonna say it.

I kinda feel a little bit relieved.

Yeah.

- 'Cause, you know, I just carried that weight.

I just felt responsible, in a way,

because there's gestational breast cancer.

Sometimes it's onset because of the hormones.

- I carried a weight of feeling like

- I was a little bit of a failure. - Oh, my God, don't say that.

Shadina has her own family.

And yet, she's put her life on the line

to help me grow my family. So, I was hurt.

I wanted my baby to be healthy,

but I wanted Shadina to be healthy.

- If I wasn't pregnant, I might have

wouldn't have been checking my breasts as often.

I mean...

- So, it all worked out for-for the good purpose.

- It did. I mean and we got a beautiful girl from it.

How is Shiloh doing?

- She's doing so-- you have to see her.

Initially, they, with all the things

that she had going on with her,

they thought she had CHARGE syndrome.

- Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. - Negative.

They just-- they said it's a mutation.

- Was it the cancer in my body that was, you know,

- causing these things? - You can't think about it.

I mean, you know, I've heard so much.

Oh, that's what you get for being selfish

and not wanting to carry your own child.

- Yeah. Mm-hmm.

- You know I've gone through seven rounds of IVF.

- Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. - That sh-- is horrible.

- Mm-hmm.

- Giving yourself four shots in the morning

and four shots in the evening every single day.

I wanna be able to lay back or ride and then--

and get pregnant. [laughing]

- That is the old school way. - The easy way, yeah.

- I'm down for the old school way.

And I'm still, like, you know, just struggling.

- I just had an ectopic pregnancy. - I know.

How are you doing?

- Girl, that was the scariest thing ever.

I finally got pregnant. I was excited,

but then I started having really sharp pains.

I was like I'm gonna just drive to the hospital.

So, they're like, "Ma'am, you have

a lot of people ahead of you." I'm like, oh, my goodness.

So, I get ready to sit back in the wheelchair,

and blood just goes everywhere.

- Your tube had ruptured. - It just breaks my heart

how much Black women suffer with maternal mortality.

We can never be taken serious. And sometimes, they say,

"Well, you have to find a healthcare provider

or doctor that looks like you."

But sometimes you just have to have people

that are still human that believe you.

Ultimately, it's about growing my family.

- So, we have how many embryos? We--

- So, I have two at ACRM. - Okay.

- And then I have two out in L.A.

- I got two girls, two boys. - Oh, okay. So...

- So, we gotta figure out this surrogacy thing.

- Yeah, okay. I know a young lady.

I think she would be a really good fit for you guys.

I wanna meet her.

My husband wants more children, and I wanna give him that.

He's given me so much. But I'm nervous.

I want a healthy child.

- I'm gonna make sure this is the right fit for you.

- All right. Thank you, Shadina. I love you.

- You're welcome. I love you, too.

- Hello! Hi, Mimosa. - Hi. You look cute.

Say, "Hi, auntie." How are you, baby?

- I'm good, babe. How are you? - You look cute.

Oh, my God, it's your girlfriend.

- [laughing] - Mimosa is here.

- Mama, say hi to your friend. - Come on, Cha Cha.

Come on, girls.

Me and Kelli, we met through a mutual friend

maybe about a year ago.

- We are definitely both dog moms,

so we always get our bitches together.

[laughing]

- And it was literally like one of those friendships

where we were, like, stuck together like glue.

- Girl, I was up at five o'clock this morning.

- Looking like a crack head. - Girl, Mike wakes up early,

and then he be on Instagram,

watching sh--, loud as hell, cracking jokes.

[laughing] I'm like, mother----er,

you don't see a bitch trying to get her beauty rest?

Bitch trying to sleep.

- I'm like go in a different room.

- No. - Okay.

- So, are we gonna do a celebration?

Are we having a wedding? Are we planning a wedding?

- I know. So, I-I will say a ceremony.

Ahh!

- Because I-I don't want a huge wedding.

I want something that's sexy, glamorous,

- but intimate. - Of course, you do.

- So, because it was during the pandemic,

me and Mike, we didn't have an opportunity

to have a ceremony.

So, we went to the courthouse, filed our paperwork,

and we just did a Zoom with saying our vows.

I was a little sad about that,

but being a wife was way more important.

- I'm excited. It's-it's gonna be good.

- And guess what. - What?

- You ain't gotta worry about me showing up three hours late.

[laughing]

You better not.

- Have you talked to Porsha? - Where is Porsha?

[horn honking]

- That whole, you know, situation

where she was going in on Drew...

It shocked the hell out of me.

I was like, what is happening here?

I thought we were, like,

going to finish our conversation.

- And then Cynthia or Drew was like,

"Oh, I heard you girls are starting drama."

- Ooh, no. - Yeah, that's-that's the reason

why we even went over to the couch

to have a conversation.

So, my question was,

why did she take that woman's husband?

Like, honestly, I'm just asking a-a question

that we just all wanna know.

Everybody wants to know.

Did you catch when Kenya was like,

"So, where's your wedding band?"

- Oh, 'cause you don't have your other ring.

Are you-you married or engaged?

No, oh, no, I'm married.

- This is an anniversary ring. - Okay, an anniversary

- and the first ring. - Yeah.

[laughing]

- First of all, have you seen my friend's ring?

- I'm like, worry about your divorce.

Why you worried about if I got a wedding band on or not?

Girls, they see me.

They'll be like, oh, she's pretty.

She looks like a mean girl.

But when you actually get to know me,

like, I'm the sweetest person ever.

Speaking of divorces,

as your friend, like, I wanted to give you time

to kinda share whatever you wanted to share

and not be like, girl, what's the tea?

- There was cheating. - Okay.

- And he took almost $500,000.

Of your money?

- Out of the companies. - Oh.

How did you find out?

- Well, so, I went to Tulum for a birthday trip.

Okay.

- And my accountant called me.

- Oh. - Like, come to find out,

he had taken all the money out of the bank account.

Are you serious?

- So, I had to, like, file a lawsuit

to try and get the money back.

So, I left the house.

I was like, you know, I-I cannot stay here.

It's not safe.

It was a very nasty situation.

- Wow. - To the point where it

had got, like, physical.

Are you serious?

- Honestly, I probably should have an Oscar

for as much as I made my marriage

or my family look like it was all together.

From me sleeping in my closet some nights

to police being called numerous times,

and it became the house of hell.

- So, how are the girls dealing with it?

The girls are good.

Girl, like, taking the ----ing kids to school

- every single day. - Okay.

- Like, it's no break. - Okay.

- You know, I mean, but I'm a mom.

- I have to do it, you know. - Yeah, so,

- and I'm here for you. - Thank you.

- Whatever you need, I got you, baby.

- I love you. - I love you.

Thank you.

Coming up next...

- I was talking to Drew about what happened.

- At the party- at the party,

you're being Porsha's assistant.

- If you look up the definition of lapdog,

I think you would see Shamea's pictures.

**

- She's back. - Okay.

Hey, hey, we gotta get on it now, man.

- I appreciate you doing this private session

for me and my girls.

Let's get it, man.

So, we're gonna go on and get stretched out

and then wait on them to come in.

- All right, I'm ready. - Let's get it.

Okay, stretches.

All right.

- There she is. - Hey, girl.

That's my girl.

- We're gettin' it in. - Girl, let's get this workout in.

- Yes, thank you for coming. - How are you? Yes.

- Hi. - How you doin'?

- What's your name? - This is my friend, Angela.

- Angela-- nice to meet you. - You ready to work?

- You look like you're ready. - Let's do it, let's do it.

- Angela and I have been friends for three years.

We're Chi town girls, and we have kids the same age.

- I'm gonna get y'all some waters.

- And Shamea, Porsha, and I have been

in a group chat for years.

So, I am hoping,

after the other night at Shamea's party,

we can just work out and get our endorphins going

because, the other night, it was very, very negative.

How are you?

- I'm not gonna lie. Saturday, at Shamea's party,

it kinda felt like it took me some steps back.

Girl, sit down.

Listen, I'll be honest.

In that moment, I was like, Drew, like,

why are we working with him

out of all of the people in Atlanta?

- I have been signed to so many legends.

- You [indistinct]. - And my music

has not gotten to the level where I thought

and dreamt it would be,

and Dennis came to the table with an offer.

It's a business relationship. And had she said, "No,"

then I would have had to evaluate it.

Would you?

- Well, I feel like she has to tell me she feels a way.

- She did, Drew. - And not aggressively

- attack me and accuse me... - Right.

- ...Of things that maybe she's been hearing.

Because Dennis has been an advocate

for me and Ralph, as well.

- Is this the longest you've been separated?

- We've never really, like, been separated.

We've had arguments.

But once he moved out of the bedroom,

our divorce is like war. It is, um...

it's a lot.

- Baby, oh, Drew, give me love.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Thank you.

I'm sorry.

- See, this is why I don't be coming out and talking.

I go in the studio because as soon as I start talking,

it just--

you know, I put my husband before me.

Um, this is not to hurt anybody.

This is literally to keep me and my kids above water.

I get it.

- There she is. - I'm here.

Girl, you look good.

- Ralph has taken large sums of my money

and is also asking for alimony,

percentages of my business,

child support.

So, I really don't need to be dealing with

Dennis and Porsha's baggage, at this point.

You look very pretty to just sweat it all off.

- I-I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready.

- All right, now. Come on, now.

- Okay, keep going. - I'm ready to Drop It with Drew.

I don't want no beef with Drew

'cause this is, like, between Drew and Porsha,

and Dennis is not a part of this group.

- Y'all ready to work? - Okay, yes, I'm ready.

- So, we gotta put this to rest.

Come on, I need 25.

Two, come on.

Take your butt down to the ground.

Oh, shoot.

Keep the ball in your hand, though, Drew.

Oh, shoot.

Come on.

It's too heavy.

- Come on-- Oh, I'll tell you. - There you go.

- I'm a mean pelvic thruster, now.

Oh, my gosh.

- All right, let's get it. Deep squats.

There we go.

Three, two, one.

All right, y'all, so, we're gonna stretch it out.

I'm gonna give you guys a second.

Thank you, Lord.

- That was good. - Dang, Drew.

- Told you. - Girl.

- I'm trying to get ready for, like, stage.

And I just really wanna be, like,

in the best shape of my life.

- Are you doing, like, an EP?

Are you gonna do a full album?

Like, what's-- what are you doing?

- We have, like, close to 30 records done.

So, when Dennis first came,

he was advocating for us to get back together.

He said he talked to Ralph,

which Ralph told me they talked,

and asked for his blessing,

and Porsha.

- Shamea, at your party, you just blurted it out.

- Absolutely. - "Like, are you ----ing--

- Are you ----ing Dennis?" - I-I-I didn't say f'ing.

- Where did that-- where did that came from?

- It came from all the rumors.

- I think it's just-- - I think I was a little shocked

that you asked the question for Porsha.

- Well, no, I didn't ask it for her.

I asked it for me.

When I talked to Porsha about it

when nobody else was around,

- I asked-- - At the party, I was there.

That's what I'm bringing up, at the party.

- No, no, you weren't there. - I was at the party.

- No, I know, I'm talking-- - Beautiful house, mind you.

- Thank you, hold on. I'm gonna let you talk.

- That's what I'm talking about, the house.

- Can I just finish what I'm saying?

- I'm just talking about the house.

Let me get-- you just cut me off.

- Okay, actually, I didn't. - What I was saying was,

at the party-- at the party--

- I was talking to Drew about what happened.

- You're being Porsha's assistant.

You're coming in hot.

- Didn't you ask the question for Porsha?

- No, I asked it for myself. - For Porsha, right?

- So, like I told you, if you were listening.

Who-who knew she could speak?

'Cause at my birthday,

when Porsha was handing it to Drew,

she was a church mouse.

- You're not just about to bulldoze me.

I'm almost six feet. Like, I'm here.

I have a presence.

- Damn! - You can explain it to your friend.

- I-I don't wanna beat a dead horse, at this point.

I wanted us to come have fun together.

I had a good workout.

- I kind of agree with my girl, Angela.

If you look up the definition of lapdog,

I think you will see Shamea's pictures.

- Thank you, Sanchez! - I'll see you next week!

- Don't call me! I'll call you! - I will never see you again!

- [sighs] - What the (BLEEP)?

**

It is so cute in here.

[laughing]

Okay, come on.

Look at the climb wall, P.

Oh, wow.

Whoa, baby, look at you.

I've got you, always, boo.

Let's go discover everything.

This is so cute.

Whoo. [laughing]

Okay, I'm gonna beat you.

Ahh, ahh.

PJ!

Whee!

Hey, boo.

Oh, no.

Mommy lost.

- What's up? How you doin'?

Why is this place so fun?

Girl, you're blinged out.

What?

I'm really glad that Dennis and I have agreed

to be the best parents we can be for Pilar, right now.

Being that there is a big loss with the divorce,

closeness from both of us at the same time,

is what she needs to see.

[sighs] Um, listen,

it's not dramatic but you and Drew or whatever.

- We're doing business together.

It's a business.

You say, "Business,"

but Drew, in front of our crew,

said somethin' completely different than business.

- What-what-what is she saying?

- Basically, she said you was her Jesus,

her Lord, Jesus Christ, and savior.

- Dennis has been my angel on earth.

- Drew, that don't sound right.

- You know, Drew is going through a divorce

with-with my homeboy.

I'm seeing what you got going on, you know.

- What do I have to do with it?

- Yeah, but what-what-- - I was-- I was in pain.

- Oh. - And we-we-we-we--

we share some similar things

that we can create music on.

I told Drew specifically that she should have

a conversation with you because y'all do Go Naked.

- Business, yeah. - But, you know,

I didn't feel like I had to, like, tell you,

you know, every business move I was making.

- It kinda feels like it was some get back in there.

- Like, you was doing your thing. - With Drew?

I-I would never touch Drew. I told Ralph that, too, man.

- She is literally saying somethin' completely different

than what you're telling me, right now.

- So, you think I'm banging Drew.

- I'm concerned-- I'm concerned with her

as a person who is supposed to be a friend

who would try to bring my child's father

and film with him in my territory.

- You know, if she's gonna use the platform for promotion...

- Now, you're about to piss me off.

[laughing] You're willing to--

- No, you're willing-- - I don't wanna piss you off.

- Listen. - --To film with her on this?

- Listen. No, listen to me.

- Why? - What's very important--

- Why? - I don't know what to build.

- What's up? - Huh?

- I don't know what to build.

- You don't know what to build?

I literally have no expectations on Dennis

besides being a great dad for Pilar.

But, on the one thing I'm asking you,

don't film with her on the show, and this, and that,

you can't do that.

I don't know why I can't get loyalty from people.

[children chattering]

[sighs]

**

[sighs]

Imagine him and I, right,

getting into it or something,

and we're not speaking, and now he gets offered

these cameras to come and use my own platform against me.

I don't need anything else.

I'm barely--

I'm trying. I'm literally trying.

- He doesn't deserve my tears.

I won't-- I refuse to give him my tears.

What's the problem?

- When you show up anywhere on these cameras

with somebody else, it's gonna be a problem.

Another damn housewife-- looks absolutely insane.

Yeah, I'm sure you know.

You're a pro now with it, huh?

- Every promotion is not a good promotion.

- I-I-I agree.

- And at the end of the day, guess what.

We're hollering about we're family.

- You represent-- you represent us.

I can't--

- Listen, I-- let me tell you.

Let me tell you somethin'. Let me tell you somethin'.

Do what you do, and by what you do,

it's gonna mark how this happens.

- It's gonna mark how this looks for your daughter.

I don't even know why the (BLEEP)

I'm stopped right here.

Got me ----ing doing stupid sh--.

I can't count on nobody but me.

- Next time, on "The Real Housewives of Atlanta"...

- We are shopping! [cheering]

- Don't pull her hair, Brooklyn.

- Don't pull it out, now. [laughing]

- Kenya, she threw a little light jab.

- Mm-hmm. - But I know how to deal

with girls like her.

- You're being talked about like you are a whore.

- If you don't take it on back with that '99 nose,

- don't do that. - Okay, Flavor Flav.

- Porsha, you said you wanted to talk.
