Original subtitles

Previously, on

The Real Housewives of Atlanta...

- One, and two, and you know what to do.

- I am a self-made millionaire.

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.

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

- Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.

- I wanna be able to lay back or ride

and get pregnant. [laughing]

But, ultimately, it's about growing my family.

So, we gotta figure out this surrogacy thing.

Yeah.

So, my question was,

why did she take that woman's husband?

- That's how you begin to get to know someone?

- At the party, you're being Porsha's assistant.

You're coming in hot.

- So, you think I'm banging Drew.

- I'm concerned with her as a person

who would try to bring my child's father

and film with him in my territory.

- She is gonna use the platform for promotion.

What?

I'm trying. I'm literally trying.

- He doesn't deserve my tears.

What's the problem?

- When you show up anywhere on these cameras

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

**

- I snatched my peach back,

now I'm bringin' the juice.

- I'll always be upper level,

everyone else is in the basement.

Plus one?

Honey, I've always been that one.

- I'm a mom of four girls.

Give me attitude and I'll ground you, too.

- If you want to find the shade,

just look for the oak.

I'm pretty and paid,

of course there's haters trying to shade.

**

**

- I'm gonna keep it light. You know, I'm on my diet.

So, I'm trying to look cute.

Me, too.

- Family is coming over. - They are.

- That's exciting. - A little family action.

- I'm all about family, so I'm glad you've invited

the in-laws over.

I've dated, like, all these guys

that are just super over the top,

you know, stuntin', flossin'.

I was a huge video vixen in high school,

so I was a bad bitch. I was in all the music videos.

So, I've been lit since day one.

[knocking] Oh, I think they're here.

When I met Mike, he was just very reserved.

He was very understated.

And I said, if I wanna be a wife,

I wanna find a man that's just more,

you know, husband material.

Oh, my God, my beautiful in-laws!

Dating rappers, and ballers, and athletes,

like, I never really could see it

as long-term.

With Mike, he just gave me husband, real man.

- Hi, baby. I love family time. - How is it going?

- We missed you guys, and we wanted to make sure

that you guys have a good--

- Did you say hi to Uncle Michael?

- Good meal tonight. So... - I'm hungry, too.

- How ya doin'? Welcome. I'm Reuben.

If you need anything, I will take great care of you.

- Reuben is gonna be assisting everybody.

Whatever you guys need, ask Reuben.

I am out of commission.

[sighs]

- So, yes, um, I did date Rick Ross,

but that chapter is in the past.

Mike, that's my baby,

and the best three years of my life.

- We have our succulent lobster tails.

Wow.

How was the birthday?

- I had a good time. - Oh, good.

We got a little lit.

Mike-Mike thinks I got a little too lit.

Two drinks and it's over.

- It's-- yeah, it's over. - Okay, me, too.

- But I got to see all the girls.

- Everyone was nice? - Everybody was cool.

Kenya was a little...

- Are you-you married or engaged?

No, no, no, I'm married.

This is my second wedding ring.

This is the second one. Yeah, this is the upgrade.

- This is the anniversary. - Oh, okay.

- There won't be no problems if she keeps it cute.

So, ain't that right, baby?

- Man, this is a mean lobster tail.

- [laughing] - I see you bustin'.

- So, hey. - Um, how are y'all?

We're good.

- Probably about time to have a kid, but, you know.

- So, what's your ideal? Like, when do you wanna do this?

- Like, tomorrow. - Oh, sh--, okay.

- Well, and I want a ceremony tomorrow.

- So, what's holding up the actual ceremony?

- We're not gonna discuss it tonight over the meal

- but-- - Why not? Why not?

This is the perfect time, over a meal.

- I don't have any more scallops.

- Scallops coming up. [laughing]

I'll work it out.

- And on that note, can you come with me to get some champagne

- from the cellar downstairs? - Yes, I can.

**

I love my brother, too, but he is a lot.

And he's stubborn.

He's just being Michael,

and it's always jokes and laughter.

- The one thing that was really important to me was family.

- Yeah. - And I lost my dad in 2015.

My dad was a huge business professional

in the mortgage industry,

and he worked his whole life

to give all of us everything.

He had a $2 million life insurance policy

for my mother,

but she didn't get it because he died

transitioning from one job to another job.

And so, launching my insurance agency

was very important

because I had to start a GoFundMe

when my dad passed away,

and I don't want anybody to go through

what I went through and what my family went through.

When I was ready to launch my insurance agency,

I said-- I had a huddle with my sisters.

I said, "Look, this is our moment

to all come together and get money together."

Everybody was game, but when I decided to sell the company,

that's when everything went south,

and I feel like our relationship

has been a little shaky.

- Mm-hmm. - We used to talk all the time.

We used to hang out.

And now, it's, like, I never see my sister.

- You push family so hard. - I do.

- That we shouldn't even be having this conversation.

- I know. - So, we gotta fix that.

- The relationships with my two sisters,

it has been very difficult.

I thought bringing my two sisters

to do business with me

was gonna be this huge success.

My oldest sister felt like I was tough in the workplace,

so she just went her separate ways.

My middle sister, when I told her I was selling the company,

she got too comfortable.

I had to fire her.

I love my family, but I still have a business to run.

- Hey, Michael. - Dessert is ready.

- Okay. - Yeah.

We haven't been able to have our own little

- just one on one little-- - We need more of this.

- What about the strawberry shortcake, though?

- [laughing] - You see?

All right, baby.

- Dessert with a little lemon twist.

Not a little lemon twist.

**

- How ya doin'? What would you like to drink?

- I'm good. Margaritas.

- Hennessey margarita. - Yeah.

Do you have strawberry?

- I got strawberry. - Okay.

- I got your strawberry Hennessey margarita.

- Ooh. - Hey, how are you?

Hello.

Let me get you some silverware over there.

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

Good. Muah.

- Good to see you. - Good to see you, too.

- You smell good. - Thank you.

Here's the menu. A lot of it looks good.

And for drink-wise, this is delicious.

I have definitely been refraining from drinking,

but I need whatever is strong enough

to deal whatever Kelli is bringing.

So, I need Henney-sha to come down

and help me with this.

- I don't think I'm drinking today.

- It's a strawberry Hennessey margarita.

Listen, I don't know Kelli at all.

So, I'm, you know, optimistic about

seeing a different side of her,

the-the side that got some sense.

- Y'all know what y'all like to eat?

- I think I'm gonna do the blackened shrimp.

- The blackened shrimp and grits?

- Grits, yeah. - Gotcha. And then for you?

Let's do the catfish.

- I got you. All right. - All right.

The vibes are definitely off.

However, I have my upcoming event at Balmain.

Hey, how are you?

- I'm good. - This is Kelli.

- Oh, hi. - So, I'm having an event,

um, at Balmain on Saturday,

and I just wanted to call and invite you

and your beautiful daughter.

It's a mommy and me event.

- Well, thank you for inviting us.

We will be there.

- I don't know what to expect with Porsha,

but we have a lot of things in common,

just with daughters, with husbands.

So, I just wanted to make sure we were good,

so we can go ahead and have a-a good time.

So, what are we giving today?

- I-I mean, you're giving me put off energy today,

but, I-I mean, I don't--

'cause I don't know what to expect.

- What is it? - I don't know, I don't know.

You know, you have different personalities,

and I don't know none of them yet.

- I have different personalities?

- Yes, you do. - Girl.

Kelli is a beautiful woman,

but she has a lot of personalities,

and they all start with "L,"

loud, loud, louder, loudest, loud.

- I have different personalities,

and she has different men.

So, what difference does it make?

Honestly, we probably have so many things in common

- that we don't know. - Most women do.

- And I feel like when me and Brit had dinner with Shamea,

it was to kind of figure out, like,

what-what is the story?

I promise you, Kelli,

that's so not the tone that was brought to me.

- The tone--

- Porsha is going through a divorce.

- I'm sure. It's so public. - I know.

- She always rises above it. - But she probably shoulda

never took that girl's man.

Whoa.

- The amount of things that she was saying

that y'all said, I was like, damn, okay.

I've gotta be cautious.

You know, like, prepare for this type of attack,

like, from people who don't even know me

from nowhere, right?

- That was definitely not the conversation.

We're just talking, and I'm like, "So, tell me, like,

why did she take that woman's husband?"

- Uh-huh. - She was like,

"Well, I think that's a question for you to ask her

when you see her."

- My best friend told you to approach me

at her birthday party?

- I don't think that it was, like, intentional.

I think it was just very, like--

- I mean, I--

- Y'all just go ahead and clear the air.

And just, you know, keep it moving.

Whatever the intention was,

I don't think it was to hurt me.

I don't think so.

- Shamea knows that I'm going through a divorce, right now.

I just don't see why she would do that.

Why would my friend set me up to be ambushed by Toto?

So, with that being said, you were at fault.

- Oh. [laughing]

You was trolling me, bitch.

- Bitch, I was giving you what you was coming for.

- I was coming to have a good time

- at a birthday party. - You know you like the ping--

you know you like to ping pong with me a little bit.

- I do, I do. You give me some energy.

- Never that. - I can't wait to tell her

that we cleared the air.

- We got the most bipolar relationship.

[laughing]

- I think I'm ready for some champagne now.

- Champagne? - She feels safe now.

- I do. I had to--

I didn't know if I was gonna have to [indistinct] today

or not, girl.

- I love you! - Girl.

- Okay, you know what? I called you troll,

but now you're my treasure troll.

- Okay, bitch, it better be the pink troll, the cute one.

- Is it Poppy? - Come on, Poppy.

Come on, Poppy. [laughing]

Coming up next...

- When I tell you Dennis has been so professional,

- the agreement is-- - And you're being talked about

like you're a whore.

- Huh? Well-- - So, yes.

**

- How ya feelin'? - I feel good.

She's just a little hoarse.

- You been workin'. - I've been working.

I did a horror movie in Puerto Rico,

and the whole movie was just me screaming.

- It's the end of the album. We can just take light.

- You know,do my little thang. Go into my office.

Here we go, here we go.

* I'm not too good at keeping secrets *

* everybody knows *

* I'm not too good at hiding weakness *

* you got me and it shows *

* so what are you waiting for *

* oh no *

* can we fall in love for a minute *

* love for a minute *

* love for a minute *

* love for a minute *

Oh, we need that.

That's what we need.

Wow.

- Let's go. [applause]

- Oh, my God. - Yes.

- Oh, you guys are-- group hug.

I did my vocal warm-ups today.

- You look so pretty. - Hi.

- Hey, boo. - Yes.

That was a love song.

I know a love song when I hear one.

This is a love song,

but, for me, how it spoke to me,

is, like, a falling out of love song.

- Well, I think it must be very healing for you, though,

since it's, you know, about your life, about Ralph.

- I know, when everything happened,

Kenya was reaching out.

I feel the love and support, but I kinda go into a shell.

- Same-- I did the same.

I just threw myself into my career.

Into work.

- Have you ever been married before now?

- No, this is both of our first marriage.

- First time. How did you meet your husband?

We were neighbors.

He held the elevator for me, and I got on.

He asked for my number,

and we've been rockin' ever since. - Okay.

- You've been gettin' on ever since.

- So, that was easy to date 'cause you can just be

- in the building. - Right. It's hard, though,

because, remember, he was a bachelor.

Yeah.

[laughing]

- Hey, girl, where is Charles? I haven't seen him?

Did he get a massage today?

How often do you see this person?

If you wanna known how not to waste your time

dating someone who lives in an apartment complex,

why wouldn't you be friends

with the concierge or the front desk?

Vlad, can you do me a favor?

Did you want something to drink?

- Water. - Water.

- Is Dennis supposed to be here in the room?

I'll have tea, as well.

He's producing, right?

- Y'all don't wanna pop the champagne?

- You don't wanna talk about it?

- No, I'm just making sure y'all are good.

- If you pop it, I'll have a sip.

- Okay, and then-- - No, no. We're not gonna.

Uh-uh. No, no, no.

I asked you about Dennis. [laughing]

- Where is he? - Oh, okay.

- Uh-uh, not her drinking her tea.

- [laughing] - Clear my throat.

He was supposed to be in the studio today, actually,

because we're supposed to be picking my single.

- So, is he executive producing the album?

He is.

- Did you guys talk about the situation with Porsha

- 'cause that was crazy? - Um, not talked but text.

Dennis don't answer the phone.

We do not talk on the phone.

- Hey, bro. - Drew, what up, dog?

What's going on?

We're not friends.

We just have a real strict business relationship.

I just feel like, a lot of times,

in this group of girls,

it's just been a lot of attacks on me.

It was always everybody versus me.

- Drew, you cannot play a victim

'cause a lot of this stuff you brought on yourself.

As much as I love you,

I do believe you were dead wrong.

You started working with him

without speaking directly to her.

That was a no-no.

- I have the text messages to show, uh...

- I think you did. - ...me constantly reaching out.

So, I texted her January 23rd telling her

that I really needed to talk to her about something.

She texted me back January 26th

telling me she was out of town.

I reached out to her February 23rd,

and she hit me back March 8th.

We were gonna go eat at Nobu,

and then she canceled on me. So...

Okay, first of all,

girl, you know you should pick up this phone

and call Porsha and say what you need to say.

I mean, I know she was busy livin' her best life,

but I wasn't even lookin' for Porsha like that,

and I caught up with her.

Okay, so, Kenya booked my baby's daddy...

- Leon, for "Life Twirls On." - Mm-hmm.

- Just look at his fine self.

- [screaming] - You calm down!

- She made it a point to get my blessing,

and I was like, "Absolutely."

But it's just the respect part of it.

So, let me tell you this.

- Why can't Dennis speak up for you?

I don't get it.

- When I tell you Dennis has been so professional,

the songs are paid for, the agreement is--

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

- Huh? Well-- - Wait, what?

Ooh, not a whore. Hoe we can ride with.

A hoe is almost a compliment.

A whore? Oh, that's horrible.

Have you spoken to Shamea

since she kicked it off, first of all?

- Have you talked to her? - Yeah.

So, yes.

- Shamea went in hard at the gym.

- We hung out with Shamea. - What?

- I know. It was a scene. - Wait, what?

- I asked, you know, "Shamea,

"why did you ask her that question

"in front of the group?" She went off.

- What did she say? - She just said,

"Well, I didn't ask Drew if she ----ed Dennis.

- "I didn't say that." - Oh, she 100% said it.

- I said, "You did, and you're lying."

Am I crazy?

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

Are you dating Dennis now?

- I can never unhear it. - Wow.

How did everything end? So you--

- It ended with her storming away.

- Oh, you guys-- - And I'm like, have a nice,

you know, drive home. Get home safe.

- [laughing] - And that was that.

- So, I was shocked. - That sounds like a lot.

- It was a lot. - First of all,

Porsha don't need nobody to help her

- get nobody together. - No.

- No, but she has one. - She is more than equipped

to gather somebody if she wants to.

- So, I will say Porsha reached out to me

the day after Shamea's birthday.

- Okay, good. - Okay.

- And she said, "We need to talk about it."

So, that's where we are.

- I'm gonna leave you with this.

Yes.

- Baby daddies hit different.

[sighs]

**

- Hey-- Dang!

- Hey. Glenda. - You look pretty.

- Thanks, y'all. - Always.

- Muah. [sighs]

I'm still on 1,000 from that party.

- You should be. - I know. It was a lot.

- I was able to just kinda unwind.

I'm like, now, back to business, y'all.

Remember we went to Boston for Shiloh.

Well, we also got a second opinion about Shya

because Dr. Harmon was saying

she needed to get her tonsils and adenoids removed.

I honestly do not know what I would do

without my sisters.

They have just been such a support system for me.

There were times when Shiloh was in the hospital

where I couldn't get Shya on time,

and my oldest sister would say, "I got it."

You know, my middle sister, Glenda, she has lupus,

and there were times where I knew she would

put her-her own feelings and health aside

to just make sure I was good.

So, I can't even imagine my life without them.

Last year was crazy with all the Shiloh things.

- Yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah, it was.

This year, was me,

the ectopic pregnancy, and now Shya.

It's literally never-ending.

Even right now, I'm talking to a surrogate, right?

And I still don't even know what the future

is gonna be like for Shiloh.

I've been through this journey before.

- Right. - And it drained me.

I get my strength from my mom and my sisters.

Honestly, I don't even cry to people.

I don't even tell them half of what I'm goin' through.

I'm good at just masking what I got goin' on

so that I can be there for you.

If I'm busy tryin' to help you solve your problems,

I just kinda forget about mine.

- I know you and G has had these hard conversations,

but, you know, how do you feel after y'all talked?

- I'm nervous because even with doing the IVF,

I did seven rounds.

My estrogen levels would get so high.

It put me at risk for strokes and blood clots.

So, I was asking him,

"What are you gonna do if these don't take?

"What's gonna be the next thing?"

He's like, "Well, we'll cross that bridge

"when we get to it."

I just wanna make sure I have enough

love in my heart to give.

This whole journey has just been overwhelming,

even for my daughter, Shya.

She would say,

"I don't want you to be at the hospital.

"Let daddy go to the hospital.

"You stay with me."

Shiloh is thrivin'.

Shiloh doesn't even know her struggles.

That baby smiles so much and is the happiest baby.

- This baby has a purpose. Period.

- Yeah, she has a purpose. She's so sweet.

- And I can't wait to see what it is.

She's so strong.

Aww, thanks, sisters.

Yeah, that's right.

Comin' up next...

- Does anybody have any glue

to get her nose back down?

- Can someone get your nose out of Porsha's ass?

**

**

You need some help?

- You pull up when I done...

put all the heavy stuff in the house.

- You said, "Heavy." That looks light.

Yeah, that's why it's taking forever to get done.

Wow.

It's heavy, ain't it?

- Uh, if you can carry it, I can carry it. Really?

I do it every day.

- It looks good. - Good job.

- Let me show you what else he did, Charles.

Let me show you everything that's done.

- Last time I was here, we was doin' the grass.

How does the grass look?

- It needs some rain. Needs some treatment.

- Oh, gosh. We did the bathroom.

[water running]

Why you gotta turn the water on?

- I was just making sure. Okay, it works.

- I wanna show Charles, like, look, look--

this is working for us. Don't you see?

He invested his trust. He's invested his money.

So, showing him that I can get this done will,

you know, allow him to trust me more

with my real estate endeavors.

With everything we got going on

with our vow renewal,

I know all these houses are in the way,

but I really, really, really, wanna do that.

We'll see.

- 2017, with Madison Square Garden,

that was a very, very rough time.

Charles was attending a game in New York.

The owner does not like Charles

and called security to come escort him out.

And we were newly married,

and he needed to heal, and I couldn't heal him.

During this time, I was just like, you know what?

We're gonna try to work through this at a distance,

and we did live separately.

So, us, just recommitting to one another,

I feel like, is important, at this moment.

Because everything that happened

since we got married, it affected us.

Yeah.

- But Charles is holding our vow renewal over my head

because he feels like

we spent all this money on these houses.

Let's handle this first,

and then we can jump into somethin' else.

Well, anyway,

I've been talkin' to Wendy,

whom I love.

- $3,000 a month, you should love her.

This is a discount? I know she's--

- Charles, I don't understand wh-why you're against therapy.

- I'm just saying, though, when you go so many times,

they should give you at least 20% off.

- No, it's a business. - A-a repeat customer.

- There is no way I pay $3,000 a month.

I would be in a mental ward institution,

if that's the case.

Probably 12-- $1,200. That's not a lot.

- It's a buffet. - Listen, we need it.

- I mean... - For the sake of our marriage,

for the next ten years.

- Oh, that's a long time. - What? Too long?

- [laughing] - You never know.

- There's a lot of things we need to go to therapy for,

like these houses.

Yeah, yeah.

**

- Hi. Good morning. - Hi. Good morning.

- How ya doin'? - Hi. I'm well. Thank you.

- Look at you, girl. - Good morning.

- I haven't seen you in so long.

- I know. It feels like forever.

- Oh, my God, you're workin' too much.

- I know! - How you been?

- Thank God I'm workin', right?

- I-I know that's right. - I need all the bags, I said.

- [laughing] - Yes, you do. Yes, you do.

- Go on and have a seat. - Okay, I love it in here.

- All right. I got your-your coffee.

- You're giving me some-- [laughing]

Oh, but you've been okay?

- I've been better than I thought I was gonna be.

- Yeah, I was wondering after that last hearing.

That was such a big change for you and the kids.

- I didn't know the hearing was gonna go like that.

Ralph didn't have his lawyer there

and that he was cross-examining me.

- I was like, is this... - Oh, my God!

...really happening?

- It actually was confirmation of all the things you said

about just the manipulative and controlling nature

of everything that you've been dealing with.

We filed in February of 2023.

- Oh, my God, it's been... oh, a year and a half.

- Yeah, but we've got a hearing coming up

in, what, three weeks or so.

So, you know, our goal is for Ralph

to get out of the home, and then, ultimately,

- we wanna sell the home, right? - Right. Mm-hmm.

- The judge just felt compelled to, uh, you know,

separate you two in the house since he said

that he couldn't afford to pay for this house

- and some other place. - Mm-hmm.

- We don't know what he can afford

because we don't have his documents.

Financials, right.

- He's given me enough documents to say,

oh, these are a lot of documents,

but when you go through 'em, half of 'em are yours.

- We can't get to a verdict

unless he turns over his financials,

and I don't know when that's gonna be.

What are we hiding?

He definitely has all access to my money,

and so it feels very hurtful, at this time,

that he won't be transparent, so that we can wrap this up.

- Currently, your divorce file is sealed.

Yes.

- However, the judge has gone through

- and reviewed that filing. - Mm-hmm.

- And she's going to unseal it.

- What would come out? Like, what?

- Okay, well, let's talk about it for a second.

He's a serial cheater, how he had taken,

uh, money out of your account,

how he had been sexting with other women,

and how other women have been sending you messages,

- how he was following you. - Was tracking me.

- And tracking you. - Mm-hmm.

All that is private,

but when the case gets unsealed, it's out.

[sighs]

- That's all I care about in all of this, is my kids.

All of that comin' out is scary.

- Mm-hmm.

- [sighs] - Yeah.

- Well, we're gonna give it our best shot.

- I'm on it, girl. - All right, thank you.

I'll be ready. Keep me posted. Um, yeah.

- And she goes Hollywood with the shades.

- [sighs] - I almost made it without crying but...

- You did. - I'll take all my tissues.

- That's all right, girl. - Okay, you got it? Okay.

- I got you. [laughing]

Yeah, my new car.

All right, let's go.

- Come on. Let's drive, mommy.

- How do you feel? Are you excited?

- Yes, it's my first time being at the hospital.

- Shya's more excited about her surgery,

and I'm more nervous,

but this is a very minor procedure.

So, she should be okay.

Shya, look.

- Dr. Harmon! - Dr. Harmon!

- Hey, Dr. Harmon. - Hey. Hey.

- Shya's back there. Look, you gotta look.

- What's up, girl? Are you ready?

Yes.

- Shya's been back in surgery for about how long, babe?

About 20 minutes.

- Dads are always playing it cool,

but this is how you can tell when a dad is nervous.

I'm gonna give you an example.

This one, this dad, has not sat down

since she was taken out of the room.

Why is that, Gerald?

- He's been stretching for about 20 to 30 minutes.

**

**

- Hello. - Hi.

- Welcome in. - Thank you.

- You guys can make yourselves comfortable.

- Okay, thank you. - You know what?

- How them feet feel? - They ain't bad.

They-they're pass. They're not premium today.

- [laughing] - They'll pass today,

- but it's all good, though. - Mm-hmm.

- Once they put the lotion on there,

- they'll soften it up. - And that's what I said.

- Did I even put lotion on? - It don't look like it.

- Ooh! - Nuh-unh.

- Hi. - Hi.

- Hi. I'm your therapist.

We'll be ready for you today. You, too, Miss Diane.

You'll be coming with me, too.

All right. We're gonna be right this way.

You'll just get into your robes.

- It's hard for a parent to watch their daughter

be in a bad relationship.

So, my mom, she has been my confidante,

my support system, my prayer partner,

through this divorce.

It's just been really good to have her by my side.

- I'm ready for this. - Oh, good.

- Mm-hmm.

- You know, I've been trying to do meditation.

- Mm-hmm. - Because through this--

beginning of this divorce, just swimming in negativity.

It's so public.

You know, his defense mechanism is to act out

- for the public in some way. - Right, right.

- And so, then, here I am, taking it all in.

It was literally eating at me.

- Yeah. - And the massage time

is the only time where my mind is actually clear.

My first divorce was very different.

It felt like I was going through the divorce with him.

In this divorce, there is no communication,

and so I feel very alone in the process.

It doesn't even feel real

because the person who is here now, in Simon,

is not my husband.

- I always felt that he was your protector.

Always.

- And for the first time, I felt like you were

on an island all by yourself.

- Normally, when you're going through divorce,

there is a point where the husband or wife

break away from attorneys and have a conversation.

Exactly.

- And I have reached out to his pastor.

I have reached out to one of his, uh, younger cousins,

and I had reached out to his older uncles,

because, you know, we had the native custom.

Exactly.

- By their tradition, the family,

you can ask to them to assist, but they-they basically said

they want hands off.

So, on the American side, you file for a divorce.

You let the court system handle it.

For Benin, the culture there,

you're supposed to be able to go to the family,

and I was very disappointed

that they decided they did not want to intervene.

They wanted the legal process just to continue.

- Is the pressure okay for you? - It's so good.

- Mm-hmm.

- I meant to tell you, I talked to Shamea,

and she was like, "I wanna take you out.

You know, I want you to have fun."

So, I-I was just like, okay,

because how do you know you're healed

- if you're only by yourself? - Right.

- You have to be amongst other people.

Right.

- Girl, she went telling me she met with Kelli and Brit.

The girls were just talking about me the whole time.

And I was just there, like, this is not fun.

Like, I don't wanna hear about hating women or whatever.

- But why would she wanna tell you everything

that's somebody is sayin' somethin'

that's negative, and she's trying to

make you feel better? How does that go together?

I know you don't wanna hear.

You and Shamea have been friends since y'all was in high school,

but you got to watch the dog that brings the bone.

You're going through a freakin' divorce.

- I think she was in a position where she felt the need

- to take up for me, in a way. - All right.

- And it is what it is. - It is what it is.

And yeah.

**

Hey, mama.

Look at your balloons and your flowers.

I like that high ponytail.

Trick you looking young and fabulous.

- I am young and fabulous. - Right.

- Not fake me-- I am. [laughing]

- Tell Auntie Porsha what you wanted to tell her.

- Oh, my goodness, you're one of the special ones.

- Today is about you. It's mommy and me.

- Oh, my God, you have a brown stain

on the back of your robe.

- It's makeup. It's makeup. It's makeup.

[laughing]

- I'm hosting my event at Balmain.

This is my mommy and me event.

I cannot wait to see all the ladies,

all their children, because, for some time,

one of my dreams has been to raise some sort of awareness

for osteogenesis imperfecta, and I'm just super grateful

that Balmain would partner with me for

the Osteogenesis Imperfecta Foundation.

**

Hi. [screaming]

Look at this! Kelli's mimosa bar, yes.

I'm so excited.

Look at the flower bar. It's so cute.

Balmain is one of my favorite fashion houses.

Ooh. I have worked with Balmain in the past.

[cheering]

Today, I literally closed down the Balmain store.

So, if you come to my event, you're gonna leave here

with somethin', okay?

Oh, my God! Good to see you.

- Hi. - Hi, Brooklyn.

I just love your dress. Give me a little twirl.

- Ooh. - She knows-she knows a twirl.

- Yes. Hi! Hey, beautiful.

- Hey. - Muah. Come on.

Let's get you a glass of champagne

and get her some sparkling cider.

- Oh, hi. Nice to see you.

- Muah. - Hey, gorgeous.

- Hi, pretty girl. - How are you?

- This is beautiful. - Hello.

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

- Hey. - Hi.

[laughing]

- I'm so surprised you got here now.

- Girl, listen, my makeup artist

- is Drew's makeup artist. - You told me that.

- So, he told her he was coming to me,

and she slowed down and delayed. [laughing]

So, he just got to me.

- Y'all are so petty. - This is, like--

this is, like, a 15-minute face. Child, I don't know.

I guess she said I won't have that ponytail

to cuss her out today.

You are a lowdown, dirty individual.

'Cause she made sure that I didn't have

the hairstylist on time or the makeup artist on time.

But I still made it on time.

- Hello. There she is. [laughing]

Yes. Muah.

- I said, oh, she put that walk on.

She gave us that walk.

* I'm so sweet like a Georgia peach *

* so juicy take a bite of me *

- Don't pull her hair, Brooklyn. - I know.

Don't pull it out now. Don't pull Titi's--

[laughing]

- Ahh! Hey, bubba, you're good?

- You're so beautiful. - Hey.

- Would you play rock, paper, scissors?

Oh, I know that one.

- Go see what Brooklyn is doing. Let me talk to titi real quick.

- Girl... - What?

- Girl, I know this has been hard.

I just went through a-a regular divorce.

- Yeah. - I can't imagine

having to go through it and go back and forth

and deal with the whole social media thing.

- Right. This is someone who was around my child.

- Oh, yeah. - This is someone who I trusted,

and then they can completely turn into a monster.

You know what I'm sayin'?

- You don't have to have it all together, right now,

because you-- it's-it's gonna be good days and bad days.

- I'm telling you. - Yeah.

- Hi. I'm Shamea.

It's so good to meet you. I love your mommy.

- I haven't seen Shamea since our last run-in.

So, tonight, I want to kinda just give it another shot,

and I'm hopeful that she'll be receptive.

- Oh, you look good in yellow. Hello, Miss Kenya.

- Gosh, you look amazing. - Hi. Hi, Balmain Barbie.

- How are you? - Good. You look cute.

- Hi. - Hey.

- You look gorgeous. Muah. - Muah.

Look at this baby out here with all this energy.

Hey, boobie.

Say, hey, auntie Porsha.

- Are we shopping? What are we doin'?

- We are shopping! - Can I see that?

- Yeah. - Bracelet is awesome.

- You might be a little fashionista, Brooklyn.

- Ooh, isn't that cute? - That's, like, the best one.

- Yeah, this is the best one. We're gonna get this one.

- Here, let me hold it, too. - Okay.

- Yeah, get a photo together. You hold one strap.

I'll hold one strap.

- I feel like you're trying to take it.

- No, you do this. No, wait. No, wait.

You hold this strap. I'm gonna hold this strap. Go.

- Do you think now is the time to speak to Shamea,

or, no, just hold off?

- Oh, shoot, I forgot about that.

I was over here trying to get Porsha together.

- Have you talked to her? - The one from the '90s?

Who from the '90s?

- Who came to my party in a time capsule.

[laughing]

Okay, from the time capsule.

- A little petty, I know, but I welcomed you into my home.

You ate some of my cake,

and then you gonna come with a nasty mouth.

I ain't got nothin' for you.

Hello, hello, hello.

I am Brittany, the store director here.

So, we were thinking about who we could collaborate

with the brand and with the community.

There is no better person than Kelli herself, seriously.

If you don't know, 10% of the proceeds

that you purchase today will go to the OI Foundation.

Kelli will tell us a little bit more about what that is for her.

[cheers and applause]

- Thank you, ladies, for coming.

For those of you that don't know what OI is,

it's osteogenesis imperfecta, and three of my daughters

were actually diagnosed with osteogenesis imperfecta,

which is a genetic disease.

Most of you know it as brittle bones disease.

Chance, she was six weeks old, and I noticed that somethin'

was wrong with Chance's arm, and I had my mom

take me to the hospital. [sighs]

It's okay.

And I'll never forget.

Two police came and stood in front of the door.

CPS won't let me leave.

We were stuck in Baltimore for probably over a month.

I just remember that time, just feeling so low and so deep

and just not knowing what's wrong because

they thought that I was literally abusing my daughter.

If it wasn't for foundations such as OI, um,

I don't know where we would be, right now.

The doctor literally took a flashlight,

looked in her eyes, and said, "She has OI."

And they said, "We could see the blue tint

around her eyelids."

And I was literally free to go home

and go back to my house with my kid.

I feel like it's a foundation that hasn't had

as much spotlight as it should,

and it's near and dear to me because it's affected me

and my family in so many different ways

and people that look like us.

All right, y'all. Let's shop until we drop.

[cheers and applause]

I've been sweating over here.

- Girl, you-you know, get your cute little fan.

- I know. I had it. - Hi.

- Hey, you made it. - I made it.

- I'm so sorry I'm late. Girl... - How are you?

- Hi, princess. - It was a day.

- Oh, this is the men's stuff. Let me get outta here.

I ain't got no man.

- I'm going through a divorce, child.

I can't be here spending my, um, attorney money.

- Have you spoken to Porsha yet?

- No, I haven't seen Porsha. - She's right there.

You can't miss them hips, girl.

- If I bump into you naturally, then that's--

Okay.

- I'm not gonna force anything.

- I like a red pump. - You're such a great helper.

Hi, Shamea.

I think we got off on a bad foot.

- I know we got off on a bad foot.

- That's not the temperature of the room

- that I like to operate in. - Oh.

- So, if there's a time that we can talk, I would like that.

- I would-- I would love to talk.

I-I would love to meet Angela and not Drew's representative.

That was Angela.

- So, you speak on Drew's behalf.

- I will. I will. - Oh, okay.

Well, then we don't need to talk about it then

'cause your feelings is what your feelings are.

- And so are yours, right? - And-and very much so.

- I'm cool on you. Thank you. - You're cool on me?

- Yeah, I am. Thank you. - Okay, be nice then.

You're a mean girl, girl.

- Actually, you're the mean girl.

- No, you're a mean girl. It flows with your name.

Okay. You know what?

- Sha-meana, you're a mean girl.

- Actually, Shamea. - Sha-meana.

**

**

No, you're a mean girl. It flows with your name.

Okay. You know what?

- Sha-meana, you're a mean girl.

- Actually, Shamea. - Sha-meana.

- So, I'm not going nowhere. We're together.

- If you don't take it all back

with that '99 nose, don't do that.

- Okay, Flavor Flav. - Wait, wait, wait, guys.

- Of all the noses that you could have picked,

- you chose that. - You're giving Flavor Flav.

- Come on, guys. [sighs]

Her daughter is here.

- Flavor Flav is the biggest hype man,

and I feel like Shamea is the loudest one in the room.

- Angela's taking over for the '99 and 2000.

- Ladies, we have to know how to act in our environments.

What is happening?

- Does anybody have any glue to get her nose back down?

- Can someone get your nose out of Porsha's ass?

Come on.

- We are shopping 'til we drop, right?

- Not gonna happen. - We're coming over here.

What the (BLEEP) happened?

- She tried to read me about asking Drew a simple question.

- I can't take the insult. - "Why would you ask Drew?

Are you effin--?"

I said, "What I said was, are you dating him?

- Are y'all a thing?" - Brooklyn?

- If she goes there, I will go there.

- They said you're talking about somebody physical-physically.

- Her nose. - Her nose?

- Well, she called me Flavor Flav, too.

- So, we're even. - It got ugly.

I'm the calm one.

My husband will be proud of me today.

- So, I was Flavor Flav for Halloween.

I didn't know she was gonna be LaToya Jackson,

- though, for today. - Uh-uh.

- Oh! - Had I known that...

[laughing]

- Now, I didn't wanna laugh, but the girl kinda

do look like LaToya Jackson.

- Oh, you have to get those. - It fit the nose?

- Everything-- it fits the nose.

It's sittin' on the cheekbones just right.

- But how do you insult the girl's nose, though?

That's what I wanna know. Where'd that come from?

- Why y'all stuck on the nose? She called her Flavor Flav.

- Like, tit for tat. - Ladies, are we serious?

Y'all shoulda saved that for outside in the parking lot.

We don't do this over here at Phipps.

Y'all do that Lenox, not at Phipps.

- Get me these two. - Okay.

- Oh, thank you. - They look good, right?

You think this looks nice?

- Shamea... - Give me a hug.

Thank you for hearing me out.

And, again, I apologize if I embarrassed you the other day.

- That was not my intention. - I appreciate that, Shamea.

- Hopefully, you and Porsha talk about it.

- I feel like it's healthy just to talk about it

- and then move on. - Well, I've moved on.

I've moved on, as well.

- Okay. Muah. - All right.

- The event went amazing. - Yes.

You know I'm always gonna support you.

- Thank you. You know I love you, girl.

- I love you, my little Balmain princess.

- You know I am the Balmain princess.

- You are. - Yes.

- Okay, you're hungry. Okay. [laughing]

We spent about $30,000, and, of course,

the proceeds from the sales today

go back to the OI Foundation.

I'm grateful that these ladies put their money

where their mouths are, literally.

- Porsha, you said you wanted to talk.

Um... [coughs]

- Yeah, I wasn't feeling good this week.

- So, let's do it next week. - It's okay.

We're here now. We can just talk.

- I'd rather not. - I like to--

What'd you say, Brooklyn?

- We can't even have a conversation, right now.

- She gonna text me? Okay.

It was like, "I wanna talk to you,

and I wanna talk now."

And I'm like, where is this audacity coming from?

Then I look back, and the audacity is behind me

with braids.

I said, oh, her sister is here.

She done brought Heavy D out.

I am not about to get into this with two people on me.

- Girl, you text me that you wanted to talk.

Now, you don't wanna talk.

You can definitely come to the studio,

and we can have a conversation.

Put it in a song. I don't know.

- All right, let me get outta here.

That's a wrap.

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

- I'm having my grand opening. Please support.

- I mean, we're supportive, but I want mine for free.

[laughing]

- We're not to discuss the divorce to the kids.

- Aniya brought me an article. It said everything.

- I can speak to everyone kindly, without an attitude.

- Would you like for me to read it again?

- Peasants cannot come for a queen.

- Get the (BLEEP) outta here, bitch.
