00:00:01
Speaker 1: Welcoup to Reality with the King. It's me Carlos Kings, the King of Reality TV and one of the most sought after executive producers in reality television with over ten years a production experience. Twice a week on Reality with the King, we'll sit down with my friends across the entertainment industry, recap our favorite reality shows and revisit unforgettable moments that we are still talking and tweeting about. Hey, rain Drops, we're back. I am so thrilled to do this episode solo because we are going to talk about the.

00:00:45
Speaker 2: Season sixteen premiere of the Real Houseboves of Atlanta.

00:00:50
Speaker 1: I wanted to do this episode alone because let's have a real conversation. The Real Housewives of Atlanta will always hold a very special place in my heart. It's the first reality show I produced. You guys know the history. I don't need to run down my resume. Okay, not resume, baby, my resume, because it's still our going yes, Okay, but no, we got to be serious here, so check this out. This season premiere of the Real Housewives of Atlanta was so anticipated, and the reason why it was so anticipated is because of two things.

00:01:42
Speaker 2: Okay, Number one.

00:01:44
Speaker 1: Regardless of whatever happens with this show. And I do mean this when I say this, the Real Housewives of Atlanta will go down in history as the best housewives ever.

00:01:56
Speaker 2: Ever what that show has done to submit themselves and pop culture.

00:02:01
Speaker 1: Regardless if this season, next season, or the next twenty, whatever it does, good, bad or different, it will never ever taint the legacy that this show has.

00:02:14
Speaker 2: It just won't.

00:02:15
Speaker 1: We're talking about the parodies, the memes, the gifts, the sound bites, the sayings. This show will always be super special to our hearts, especially mine, for the reasons that you all know of. There was a lot writing on this season premiere, because unfortunately, in this world, things get built up so that people can find ways to tear it down. Okay, consistently consecutively, the Real Housewives of Atlanta broke ratings records was the number one show, not only for the network, before the entire franchise of the Real Housewives.

00:03:03
Speaker 2: If Birth meaning Leaks.

00:03:06
Speaker 1: Charade Whitfield and Kim Zosiak Okay, if then birth, Kenya Moore, Porsche, Phaedra Candy, Cynthia Bailey. We're talking about icons in their very own individual right. Okay, this show has been great for them, it has been great for me, and it also has been great for you all as audience members.

00:03:35
Speaker 2: This show used.

00:03:36
Speaker 1: To be the one that baby you were in brunch early because at eight o'clock on a Sunday, you will leave the drag show.

00:03:46
Speaker 2: You will leave.

00:03:49
Speaker 1: The drag brunches are thing on a Sunday, no less because you was.

00:03:54
Speaker 2: Rushing home with your friends.

00:03:57
Speaker 1: Y'all will leave the bottomless mimosas on the tape and a friend group would rush home on Sunday nights to watch The Real Housewives of Atlanta at eight o'clock, and that was sort of like your nightcap for the weekend. The moment that show came off at nine o'clock, you realize, let me get ready for work the next day, let me go home, let me not get a hangover. You know, you wanted to make sure that you saw that show at eight o'clock. And things happen, and we don't have to get into that, but a lot of people counted the show out. I am somebody who was always very honest about things I liked or didn't like. That's the privilege of having this platform and the privilege of being a part of a very successful show for the past couple of seasons. There were good moments, and like in any situation, there was bad moments, right, and then it was great casting decisions, and then there were not so great casting decisions. But fundamentally, the brand was synonymous with success and legacy. So we lost a lot of the people I mentioned five minutes ago who are not a part of the show. And then the magic. We all felt the magic was gone. Okay, even the cast felt the magic was gone. Okay, so we all were in this together. The show was on a hiatus for a year to get things right. Porsche came back and we're like, okay, it's a step in the right direction. We have an esteemed journalist, Hey, Porscha, we have an esteemed journalist, Carlos be serious, first chance.

00:05:53
Speaker 2: Okay.

00:05:54
Speaker 1: We have an esteemed journalist who went to the Barbara Wasers School of Journalism. Okay, returning to the show, and we were like, okay, it's a step in the right direction, and can your icon legend more coming back?

00:06:11
Speaker 2: We got two women who I said, for.

00:06:14
Speaker 1: The longest time, shifted the temperature of the housewives when they both came in season five, when Kenya Porch came in season five. I wasn't working that season. I was at home watching and I'm like, these two are fantastic. So the fact that we had two women who are arch rivals come back together to lead the ship of this soft reboot.

00:06:44
Speaker 2: Of season sixteen.

00:06:47
Speaker 1: And then we heard about new girls Shamia and Cynthia being a friend of and we're like, Okay, let's see what happens. And then you know, the father of what happened with Kenya. Now I'm being a part of the show. We were like, what's happening to this show? What's going on now? In the words of Tarboro Banks, We're rooting for you.

00:07:07
Speaker 2: We're all rooting for you. What's happening. We're nervous. And then you kind of heard nothing. You're like, I don't hear anything happening on the show? Is that gooda bad?

00:07:19
Speaker 1: Nonetheless, what happened as I watch the entirety of season sixteen premiere, y'all know me.

00:07:30
Speaker 2: I'm very honest.

00:07:31
Speaker 1: I'm a little too honest, which is why people get mad at me, child, because I'm like, I can't lose my credibility for telling my truth.

00:07:40
Speaker 2: It's my truth.

00:07:40
Speaker 1: It's my opinion, expert opinion. I'll be it my opinion. So I'm going to be very honest here when I say this, and I don't need your mean tweets.

00:07:51
Speaker 2: I don't need y'all to read me.

00:07:54
Speaker 1: I don't need a video with my name Placid and the thumbnail.

00:08:00
Speaker 2: I don't need none of that.

00:08:01
Speaker 1: I'm here to be honest with my raindrops and the listeners and the cast and the producers and everybody involved. I, Carlos King, am here to say that the season premiere of the Real Housewives of Atlanta Season sixteen.

00:08:21
Speaker 2: Was a ten out of a ten. Bitch, we are back.

Speaker 1: I I can literally cry right now, and I mean this. That premiere, excuse my French. That premiere was the shit it. I smiled the entire Oh my god, I about to cry. Carlos King, crying on camera by yourself is weird.

00:08:54
Speaker 2: Don't do that, Okay, don't get that. This is the thing.

00:08:59
Speaker 1: I know how much press sure that the producers and the cast had and everybody involved had to make this show great. And I know everybody was waiting for my opinion. I'm not going to go into too much detail about people texting me like bitch, you do know we're all waiting for your opinion, like we low key like it.

00:09:29
Speaker 2: If you don't like it, what does that mean?

Speaker 2: What did you see? We didn't see. I'm telling y'all on some real shit.

00:09:37
Speaker 1: This was a ten out of a ten, A plus tens across the board. I loved this premiere. And not only did I love this premiere. In the words of Mariah Huwk, I love all the girls. I actually, We're gonna be real. I love all the girls. I love all the girls. There's not one girl. I'm here for all the girls, and I'm gonna be real with y'all.

00:10:14
Speaker 2: I didn't think I was going to be I'm being real.

00:10:17
Speaker 1: I was like, you know, you see things I'm about to take up my business. You see things on social media, little little snippets here or there, And what about friends?

00:10:31
Speaker 2: Text? B are you seeing this? Small?

00:10:34
Speaker 1: Say under this show? After I said the F word S word? What about friends? A girl text me? After some some.

00:10:41
Speaker 2: Moment was.

00:10:44
Speaker 1: Not leak captured? There we go, some moment was captured and what about girls?

00:10:50
Speaker 2: Text?

00:10:50
Speaker 1: Be you see this ship? This ship is so declass a And I was like, don't say that.

00:10:56
Speaker 2: That's not nice.

00:10:57
Speaker 1: But then you know you're sort of like all below DERVI, that's what's going down there. But I love all the girls. I love all the girls, and Carlos King do not cry. I will say this and I'm gonna move on. And I'm not biased when I say this. I miss Kenya. I'm going to miss Kenya is what I meant to say. I am going to miss Kenya. Kenya minimal appearance.

00:11:34
Speaker 2: Made me so happy and satisfied.

00:11:38
Speaker 1: It not every reality star has this ability to wear the camera loves them, and when it comes to her, the camera loves her.

00:11:58
Speaker 2: And as I was watching the.

00:12:01
Speaker 1: I got a little emotional because I'm like, damn, we know ultimately we're not going to see her for the entire season. And whether you're a Kenya fan or not, Team Twirl or not, you can't deny the star power that woman has. She's a polarizing figure and to see her with Juice Dora, it was fun to see her as Shamia's party was fantastic.

00:12:31
Speaker 2: I'm going to miss her.

00:12:33
Speaker 1: I'm going to miss her, and I'm not saying that because her friends and we're like, I'm going to miss her. You can't deny her star power, just like you can't deny Shmia. It's that bitch, chuddy. Let's have a real conversation. I have known Shamiyah.

00:13:00
Speaker 2: Mess I mess Shemia season.

00:13:03
Speaker 1: Six or seven, I don't remember, maybe six, maybe six. I came back to the show season six, so I think I mentioned me at season six. She me, if I mess you season five, I'm just sorry, child, no, because you Porty came out in season five. So I mestioned me a season six and I'm gonna be very real. And it's funny because Shemia Shemiah ran into me, and I ran into me. Me and Shamia ran into each other at the Atlanta Hawks game a few months ago, and we've always been cool and friendly. You know, I love all the girls.

00:13:40
Speaker 2: And she said to me, do you like me? And I said, you know, I like you like well you be And she said I never thought you liked me, and.

00:13:52
Speaker 1: I said you did and she said no, because you know you would give all of all of Carlos to the girls. And I said, well, no, shade to you should be those girls were main cast members. Like if portues me, I gotta beat them, kill your cars. I gotta go and citia call like when the housewives called me, honey, I don't see nobody else but the girls, and I said, no, I listen.

00:14:21
Speaker 2: I don't.

00:14:22
Speaker 1: When I'm in work mode, I focus on my cast. And because you weren't a main cast member, no disrespect to you or shade to you. I was.

00:14:31
Speaker 2: I was focused on my cast.

00:14:32
Speaker 1: My cast knows when I'm in work mode, I focus on them.

00:14:37
Speaker 2: I have tunnel vision. I don't see nobody. I see my girls.

00:14:43
Speaker 1: And I said, I never not liked you, and I said, but I'm looking forward to seeing you. And one thing about Shemia, she's very humble. I didn't know Shemia had it like that.

00:14:58
Speaker 2: Shemiah is. Let me tell you something, baby, Shamia is wealthy. I I I lived in Atlanta.

00:15:13
Speaker 1: I've hung out with Shamia and the girls. I did not know Shemiah was wealthy. She never showcased that. Even the thing about Shamiah, which is fantastic, she's very nice and sweet and humble, and she she's everybody's best friend, but she doesn't like She's not showy by any means. Shamillah's house will go down history as the best house I've ever seen on the real housewifs Atlanta, that house with the elevator. I have a Q closet in my home, not here. I also have a cue laws it. It's called my clothus, not the what I'm here. This is temporary child. Uh and no, the Africans and I kicked me out. I still own the.

00:16:27
Speaker 2: Shamiah's wealth is so I can't even describe.

00:16:38

00:18:17
Speaker 1: I'm I'm let's have a real conversation. We're gonna were gonna have a real conversation tonight. I did not know Shemiah was that girl. I lived in Atlanta for a very long time. I moved to Atlanta because I cared so much about the hospitals of Atlanta that I was like, in order for me to make the show great and to like really put my touch to it, I said, I'm going to be the first executive producer who's going to live in Atlanta, because in order for this show to be great, I have to be.

00:18:56
Speaker 2: I'm being real. I said, I have to be them.

00:18:59
Speaker 1: I have to get to know them, I have to study them. I have to like, I have to be an Atlanta person. And I left New York City no shade, because New York City was.

00:19:42
Speaker 2: So I moved to Atlanta. So in Atlanta, there is.

00:19:49
Speaker 1: Atlanta is very cliquish and without saying names, there are a different sectors of girl clicks.

00:20:03
Speaker 2: And there's.

00:20:07
Speaker 1: There's three girl cliques in Atlanta, and it's different tears of the girl clicks.

00:20:15
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm not gonna say much.

00:20:18
Speaker 1: Shamiah is Shamiah is a part of one of these girl clicks.

00:20:25
Speaker 2: Okay. I didn't know that Shamida was the richest one.

00:20:29
Speaker 1: I didn't know that Shamiah and Shmi if you're watching them though, you are, Hey Shamiah, Hey Gerald, I'm all about playing the game of like you know, you know, I get that you played it too well, baby, I didn't Your humility needs to be studied at Clark Atlanta University or Spellman. I have never in my years met a wealthy person involving cliques and plays backseat to all the girls.

00:21:09
Speaker 2: In the click. I've never seen that before.

00:21:15
Speaker 1: Because the girl clicks, I know, across all the worlds, not just reality worlds.

00:21:20

Speaker 1: I I didn't know that. I love Shamiah, seen her family. Shamia is so down beautiful, Shamia is fun. I love her confessionals, I love her relationship with Gerald. Shoumia being the doc connector shocked the shit out of me. I said, wait a minute, Shouldmia knows all the girls?

Speaker 1: Second, Wait a minute, wait a second, hold up, what are you telling me without telling me?

00:22:43
Speaker 2: Now? That's now, that's that's listen, baby. I have produced reality TV for almost twenty years.

00:22:54
Speaker 1: I know we're not being told something without being told something.

00:22:58
Speaker 2: Let's let's have a real conversation. I said, oh, oh, got it.

00:23:13
Speaker 1: The assignment is understood. I have picked up what you threw at me.

00:23:24
Speaker 2: Got it.

00:23:25
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm here for Shamia. I called Samiya. So me and Shami are cool. So when I'm around Shamia, I called Samiya sha MESSI shuh messy. Because my experience, which should be a on the show should be.

00:23:41
Speaker 2: A well, drop the bone and get the hell on, baby. It should be able to drop that ball, baby and get the hell off. I'm like, where's Where's where should be a go child? Baby?

00:23:57
Speaker 1: There's Marlo Hampton, and then we should be a dropping the bone. That's Marlowe hapt It and that what should be a baby should be.

00:24:04
Speaker 2: It came in with her chili off, say, palm pomps and everything. I don't know she'd be It was like that girl. I've been real.

00:24:17
Speaker 1: I had no idea Shemiah was that girl, Shamia. You need to tell the world you were that girl. This needs to be studied and I need to know, Shemiah. I think we need to talk. I need to I'm gonna ask Shamiah, do y'all want you to me in my podcast? I have one I'm not gonna I'm not gonna say it here because child, y'all know, people love to watch my videos and claim they don't and take my ship and make a child. So I have a very important question for Shamia, and I'm gonna ask it because I need to know, baby, and I'm ana find out.

00:25:00
Speaker 2: Okay. So that was Shamia. Okay.

00:25:03
Speaker 1: So Porsche opened up the episode giving us what's going on between her and Simon and listen, it was such a joy to see my girl Porsche back.

00:25:17
Speaker 2: Y'all know. I love Porsche.

00:25:20
Speaker 1: Hey, Porsche, fellow journalist.

00:25:24
Speaker 2: It was so.

00:25:27
Speaker 1: Because I attended the wedding, and I know there's tons of conversation dialogue about the authenticity of Porsche and Simon's wedding. The only thing I'm able to share with you guys by me being there. I told you guys before I've Onlady met Simon once and that was at the wedding.

00:25:46
Speaker 2: Right.

00:25:47
Speaker 1: I've known Porsche since season six and I love some Porsche and I know Portchra very well. I was there at the wedding, the Nigerian one. It was me Giselle Bryant, my ex African and it was me Giselle at the ex Okay at our African guard supporting our friend Porsche.

00:26:13
Speaker 2: And when Portia came down the aisle, she was in tears.

00:26:16
Speaker 1: Portia was crying so heavy she had to fan herself and her bridesmaids had to fan herself and should me.

00:26:23
Speaker 2: I was a bridesmaid.

00:26:25
Speaker 1: Because Porscha obviously did not want to get her make a ruin. But I tell that to say Portia was emotional. She's marrying a man she loves, so when people are talking about the validity of their marriage, I'm like, I.

00:26:38
Speaker 2: Was a witness to it, literally a witness. And Portia is not.

00:26:45
Speaker 1: Angela Bassett like Porscha wasn't acting on her wedding day.

00:26:52
Speaker 2: Child.

00:26:52
Speaker 1: We are just getting started. This is reality with the King, and I'm Carlos King. Let's get back into the show.

00:27:12
Speaker 2: Portia was in love with that man. She loved him. And I need y'all to understand that and to see that my girl had to go through so much. I just I felt horrible for her.

00:27:30
Speaker 1: I just I felt horrible for Portia now that we have a greater understanding of the fact that they had an argument on Valentine's Day and things came out about his citizenship and how when they would travel, Simon will always have to go to a different area to check his you know, path or sit and shit whatever. Like she said, it will always happen, and she would just be like, why is this happening?

00:28:06
Speaker 2: The best thing Porsche did was set herself.

00:28:09
Speaker 1: Up for success in the event, hey, Tisha, in the event that something was going to happen that could put her in the poorhouse. And it's a it's a telltale sign for women who marry rich, wealthy, powerful men, regardless of his wealth. And the good thing with Porsche is Porscha has her own money. Porsche is rich in her own right. Porsche is self made rich and we all need to celebrate that as well. Okay, the best thing Porsche did was the fact that she set herself up for the possibility that something could go awry, because what she did say in her seamen Randy Kessler was in her first marriage, things weren't in her favor, and she, pretty much her words, in my mind, was allegedly put out and didn't have much to.

00:29:13
Speaker 2: Show for it.

00:29:14
Speaker 1: Right, So the fact that she was able to learn from that lesson and apply it in her second marriage was the smartest thing she could have done. To see her cry with Randy was so sad, because let's have a real conversation. When Porscha announced her return, she was still married to Simon. I remember the day she announced that she wore this beautiful yellow blazer and she had a buzz down my favorite I love Porscha, and a buzz down.

00:29:52
Speaker 2: Go naked hair. And she said, who said that? Who said that?

00:29:58
Speaker 1: Who said Porscha was coming back to the Real Housewives of Atlanta? No baby, Porscha Gubadia was y'all remember that she was happily married at the time. And we all including me, was like, oh, bitch, we're about to see how African princess lived her life.

00:30:18
Speaker 2: You know.

00:30:19
Speaker 1: We saw the houses and them on the on the on the jet skis and we were like, bitch, troop out to see Porscha living her African Princess life.

00:30:28
Speaker 2: We all was like, what a great way to open up the show.

00:30:32
Speaker 1: So to see that, I want to say, weeks after that announcement is when we learned she filed for divorce. So I'm sure it had to be tough because I remember.

00:30:45
Speaker 2: Doing so when I came back to the show season six, Porsche.

00:30:51
Speaker 1: Learned months ago at the reunion on Twitter, if I'm not mistaken, that her ex husband, but her husband at the time, file for divorce and she found out on social media. So when we started season six, Porsche was dealing with a divorce and it was devastating for her. Devastating to film and to deal with the divorce and to figure out your life and all this other stuff.

00:31:20
Speaker 2: So I know it had to be painful for her to do that.

00:31:26
Speaker 1: Again, circumstances different, meaning she thank god she has she had everything in place, properly shut out to Porscha's team as well, But I'm sure it had to be difficult for her.

00:31:40
Speaker 2: I'm sure it had to be, but.

00:31:43
Speaker 1: It was I looked at that moment, those two scenes how she opened up the show and her scene with Randy Kessler as a telltale sign of like ladies you gotta get your shit in.

00:31:55
Speaker 2: Order when you get married the way Porscha did.

00:31:58
Speaker 1: You don't want to think that the man you're marrying is not going to be your man forever. But what you have to do is put yourself in place just in case.

00:32:10
Speaker 2: And I'm happy she did that. Okay, Now.

00:32:16
Speaker 1: Let's get into the scene with Britt, Edie, Kelly, and SCHAMESSI. Let's talk about Kelly and Britt.

00:32:29
Speaker 2: Let's start with Kelly.

00:32:30
Speaker 1: First.

00:32:33

00:38:52
Speaker 2: Carlos King and.

00:38:53
Speaker 1: Buy no man a diamond necklace for a first date. Now, I may spend on a first date. The most I spent on a guy on the first day was maybe two thousand dollars.

00:39:07
Speaker 2: But it wasn't a gift.

00:39:09
Speaker 1: It was we had dinner and saw a show and you know, had car service. Like I'm that guy to do that on the first day. I'm not buying no dude of.

00:39:22
Speaker 2: Some jewelry on the first day that I ain't doing that.

00:39:26
Speaker 1: So the fact that the hot dog king from Detroit what up dinners?

00:39:30
Speaker 2: But the fact that.

00:39:30
Speaker 1: The hot dog king from the d allegedly bought Brit a necklace?

00:39:39
Speaker 2: Was it real diamonds? Bread?

00:39:41
Speaker 1: I listened Detroit players.

00:39:43
Speaker 2: One thing about us. Detroit men were gonna take care of you. We will take care of you, and we will show you a good time.

00:39:57
Speaker 1: I don't know too many Detroit players, though, brit who's buying a real diamond necklace on the first date?

00:40:03
Speaker 2: Did you get it appraised? Was it real diamonds?

00:40:12
Speaker 1: Did you, Britt you were younger at the time. Did you understand carrots or cubic sarconia?

00:40:20
Speaker 2: These are things we need to know, BBB. Like Britt Boston boobze. What was it given? We need to see this necklace, Brett.

00:40:28
Speaker 1: I'm not saying Britt isn't telling.

00:40:31
Speaker 2: The truth because I don't. I'll be shocked if she's lying about it.

00:40:38
Speaker 1: In her first scene, because that's a horrible way to introduce yourself. I just don't see Dennis buying you a real diamond necklace on the first date, now, maybe the first month anniversary.

00:40:53
Speaker 2: I just I don't see it happening. Now.

00:40:59
Speaker 1: We need to talk about Kelly and Britt bringing up Porsche's situation now. One of the things that I can say to you guys, as somebody who knows all the girls, who loves all the girls, and who are all the girls confidant when it comes to my girls, I have a rule, and y'all know I know everybody, and everybody complies in me. I don't mix my girls together. It's the rest before disaster.

00:41:34
Speaker 2: I'm cool with some girls who don't like each other.

00:41:37
Speaker 1: I'm cool with some girls who talk about each other. The one thing I don't do I don't get involved. There's a difference between gossiping and venting. My girls vent to me about an issue they had with the girls well, Collins, I know that shir one of my girls.

00:42:02
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna say who.

00:42:05
Speaker 1: Let's say she listened, Atlanta, one of my girls will say this to me, well, I know that's your friend, Carlos, and I'd be like, yeah, and she is. And if you want to vent bent, but I'm not going to engage in a conversation. I will listen and I would sit there and be like, I will say my opinion if it's right or wrong, right, like so and so did this to me, And I'll be like, well, that's your side of the story. And if that's true on your side, that was wrong. I need to hear the other woman's side. So what Shmiah did tonight, Shamia was put in a very difficult situation because Portia has been her best friend since they were sixteen.

00:42:57
Speaker 2: I believe that's the age.

00:43:01
Speaker 1: And we're gonna get to the scene at the end. It's very difficult to be in the middle when the girls been along.

00:43:14
Speaker 2: Now, Shemiah, I'm gonna tell you just based on the scene.

00:43:20
Speaker 1: Okay, this is based on the scene. At the end of the day, you just met these girls. Now, I don't know the dynamic between you and Porsche we saw something tonight and I'm gonna talk about that too. I think should be and Porsche. They're around the same age, so you've known Porsche for twenty for over twenty years. You may have known these girls for twenty minutes. When the producer said, I'm teasing, I'm teasing, Shamia, you've known Kelly and Britt maybe for twenty days.

00:43:59
Speaker 2: Okay, fine, weeks. No shame should be a you know Kelly and Britt maybe for twenty weeks. Now. The good thing you did dial and I'm gonna get to the tricky part. It was tricky, and I know you were. I know you were. You were caught in a rock in a hard place.

00:44:15
Speaker 1: The good thing is you did not join in on the gossip, so I'm proud of you for that. What's tricky, though, is if I'm friends with somebody for twenty five years and somebody I just met twenty weeks ago is making jokes about my friend of twenty plus years, I would be like, hey, no, shay to you. I like you, but let's do this when it comes to her, my friend twenty plus years, just do me a favor. Just don't talk about her. That's just me that's just me. Just just just don't if you if if we're coop with that, we can move on. That's what I would have said. I have said that. I have told somebody like, hey, look because I have a really really really really really close friend for like over twenty years, and one time somebody says something.

00:45:16
Speaker 2: Bad about her, and I said, hey, that's my girl and you my girl.

00:45:22
Speaker 1: But that's that's that's that's that's that's family, and I'm not here to dispute your feelings. What I am saying, though, is like, YO, talk shit about her to to somebody.

00:45:35
Speaker 2: Else, but I can't.

00:45:37
Speaker 1: I can't sit across a tap because we were we were at a table. I said, I can't sit across the table from you.

00:45:43
Speaker 2: You talking shit. It's one thing if you had a question, you love keep talking shit. And Kelly had the question.

00:45:53
Speaker 1: I used to have that man, man, but we all know, we all know what that means. And it was messy. And I would have preferred if Shemiah would have said, hey, that's that's that's that's that's family.

00:46:12
Speaker 2: So like, don't talk about family.

00:46:15
Speaker 1: And also just so you know, on some real shit, because I'm a real person and a real friend. Just so you know, you now put me in a position where I'm going to tell her.

00:46:25
Speaker 2: What you said so that I don't look messy. Now when they went to do that pickup scene, I'm teasing.

00:46:38
Speaker 1: So when we saw that scene of Kelly coming three hours early to Shamilla's party and she'd be is like, I told Portia what you said, I'm like, okay. I felt that was a way of being like, Okay, Shemiah, ain't that messy. Shamia did tell Porsche off camera, so that's why I was like, Okay, Shamiyah, that was the right thing to do. So kudos to Shamiya. See, but I liked to nip things in the bove. But at the end of the day, Shamiah did tell Porscha off camera and told Kelly on camera. I told Porsche, but you said. So the good thing that Shmiya did do she did tell Kelly like, this is what I did. And that was great because Shamia is in a rock and a hard place. But in my opinion, in my opinion, and we're gonna see what happens the rest of the season, in my opinion.

00:47:34
Speaker 2: You know how they say, bros. Before I just felt like if you my day once since here sixteen, I don't care.

00:47:44
Speaker 1: Me and this chick go at it. It's like having siblings like me and my sister. We been going at it one time.

00:47:51
Speaker 2: Me and my sister then speak for six.

00:47:52
Speaker 1: Months because she was wrong. I'm teezer. I said you're wrong. I'm joking. I mean, we didn't talk a broom a minute. But that's my sister. And nobody will talk about my sister to me. I dook kept me and this girl ain't speaking right now. That's my sister. So that's how I felt. Okay, So at the party, the party is beautiful. Angela Oakley arives. I love Angela Oakley. She's gorgeous. Charles Oakley is handsome. I love that he told her to fix the lace front because some of you girls in Atlanta, this is no shade.

00:48:30
Speaker 2: Some of you girls Atlanta, we got to work in the lace front. No shade, no shade because Atlanta be.

00:48:35
Speaker 1: Hot in the summertime, so we got to make sure the glue sticks ladies. Okay, So I appreciate it that Charles said, my wife in her first scene on this show ain't about to look crazy. So when she went to the bathroom child to fix the baby here the lace front, I loved it. I thought Angela was great. I want to see more of her. I felt it was we didn't get much, but I like her Now. Kenya and Britt talk about foreshadowing.

00:49:07
Speaker 2: Not Britt. I do like you.

00:49:09
Speaker 1: I did feel like you tried to have a moment with Kenya. That's my opinion. I do like you, though, because I didn't think Kenya did anything wrong to me and Kenya.

00:49:21
Speaker 2: Yes, Kenya's my friend, but my rain drops no.

00:49:24
Speaker 1: I tell Kenya to her face that wasn't nice, that was wrong Kenya.

00:49:28
Speaker 2: I didn't. Maybe y'all coul disagree with me. I didn't think Kenya did anything wrong.

00:49:31
Speaker 1: I think Kenya was asking a question just based on like the ring and like, oh, it's this your second marriage, because I don't see the proper.

00:49:39
Speaker 2: Ring was getting cleaning. I think Kenya was justified. I didn't think Kenya. Listen, we all know when Kenya Moore is being messy.

00:49:50
Speaker 1: We've watched her for eleven years. We know when Kenya wants to set it off Bibica. I just didn't feel like Kenya was being messy. I didn't feel that way and I felt, I'm being real. I felt Kelly no shade as she should she said, new Listen, were you a new housewife or a new reality star?

00:50:15
Speaker 2: If you see a moment happen, latch onto it, no shade. She did what she was supposed.

00:50:20
Speaker 1: To do, So this ain't a this to Britt. Britt did exactly what she was supposed to do. She saw a moment, she grabbed onto it, and she tried to make it one. That's what you are supposed to do. So I'm not mad at Britt for doing that. I'm just saying I didn't think what Kenya did was wrong. I thought Kenya was being honest. But Brent tried to get a moment and it fell flat because Kenya said, oh, I'm sorry girl, like.

00:50:45
Speaker 2: Whatever and whatever. Now, Shamia party, it's off the chain. The rolls Royce.

00:50:54
Speaker 1: Now, the hottest topic of conversation is Portia being late at Shamia's party.

00:51:03
Speaker 2: If you know, Porsche, Porscha's later era Porsche.

00:51:09
Speaker 1: But okay, the thing with Porsche is this Porscha knows. Listen, I will tell y'all my.

00:51:16
Speaker 2: Opinion, and y'all can disagree with me and read me.

00:51:18
Speaker 1: And that's fine, Porsche knows that this first all cast event, Hey Tisha, that this first all cast event is important, and Porsche wanted to make sure she looked amazing.

00:51:33
Speaker 2: Okay, not only that she.

00:51:36
Speaker 1: Was going to face Drew so Dora, who was working with her baby daddy. I like Drew So Dora, ju So Dora, this is my opinion, and you're more than.

00:51:47
Speaker 2: Welcome to come on Reality with the King.

00:51:49
Speaker 1: To talk about it. I felt that ju So Dora. Dennis is known for a lot of things. Producing was not something we knew he was known for. He's known for hot dogs. He's the hot dog king of Atlanta. You working with Dennis. To me I watching the show, I felt you wanted to smoke. You wanted this storyline. You knew what you were doing, Juuse. In my opinion, I felt like Dusea Doer knew exactly what she was doing working with Dennis. There is so many producers in Atlanta. You got Polo to Don, Jazzy Fay, Jermaine Dupree. There are so many producers in Atlanta, and you chose Dennis. You chose Dennis to work for your music career. Who just so happened to be the baby daddy a Porschot and you mean to tell me.

00:52:57
Speaker 2: You didn't think he didn't think was wrong with that.

00:53:03
Speaker 1: Okay, so Drew, We'll get to that at the end. So going back to Porsche, Porscha looked amazing. When Porsche has an important event, and this is me working Porsche for years, Porscha gonna be late, child, she gonna be late. A lot of people think Porscha was laid on purpose. I didn't see it that way. And listen, I understand that I know these girls better than a lot of people. I didn't see Porsche being late as a dish to Shmia.

00:53:39
Speaker 2: I didn't. I didn't.

00:53:39
Speaker 1: I didn't see that. I believe that there was no cameras. And okay, there's two thoughts here in Atlanta, because this is only in Atlanta. This does not happen in New York City, Los Angeles, Houston, Dubai.

00:53:55
Speaker 2: This only happens in Atlanta.

00:53:58
Speaker 1: When these girls without no cameras have girl events, they dress up as if there are going to be cameras around.

00:54:07
Speaker 2: That's just the Atlanta culture.

00:54:10
Speaker 1: The Atlanta girls will hire the makeup artists, their hairstylists, and the fashion stylists to look good to be in someone's house drinking Saint I's and eating.

00:54:22
Speaker 2: Off a charcuterie board.

00:54:23
Speaker 1: These girls don't have on eyelashes to be at a house party.

00:54:28
Speaker 2: That's Atlanta culture.

00:54:30
Speaker 1: These girls go to the opening of an envelope in Atlanta. It's no shade. That's the Atlanta culture. These girls make up excuses to have an event. Oh my gosh, girl, girl, what happened?

00:54:42
Speaker 2: Girl? I'm throwing me a party.

00:54:45
Speaker 1: Girl.

00:54:45
Speaker 2: What we celebrating?

00:54:47
Speaker 1: I mean, girl, we celebrate the fact that your girl got ot at the job. You know what I'm saying, got overtime at my job? Oh girl, what we do? A girlpather have a girl, make sure you look good. You know what I'm saying.

00:55:05
Speaker 2: That's Atlanta culture. It is what it is. That's Atlanta.

00:55:12
Speaker 1: The girls go to the opening of an envelope in Atlanta. So I didn't think Portia was late because of Shemiah, y'all. A lot of y'all believe that Porscha was trying to steal Shemia's moment. I didn't see it that way. That's still Atlantic culture. The girls of Lady. I think what Porscha did giving Sami a hug was to show how proud she was of her.

00:55:38
Speaker 2: I didn't see it that she wanted her moment.

00:55:41
Speaker 1: I didn't see it that way, and I would tell y'all some true chip, I promise you.

00:55:46
Speaker 2: I did not see it that way.

00:55:49
Speaker 1: It definitely looked that way, just based on how the how the other girls were reacting to it.

00:55:58
Speaker 2: And I do feel like base on that moment.

00:56:02
Speaker 1: It's sort of like, are we gonna see Shamia and Porsche friendship.

00:56:10
Speaker 2: Take a slow dip?

00:56:14
Speaker 1: As I was watching the first episode, I'm like, I feel like I'm being told that something's about to happen between Portions and Shamiyah. That's that's where I got from it, Like something's about to happen some collision. Did y'all get that too? I was like, are they setting things up for us to get Porsche versus Shamia? That's coming down the road the wrong road, the railroad, but some road, baby. It appears some friction is going to happen. And I truly have not asked anybody because I want to watch this season like you guys and be surprised, So I don't know, but it looked like to me that we're about to win it's Porsche and should be a have friction in the friendship. We saw a little bit in the trailer, but this episode to me was like, Oh, we really about to get it.

00:57:13
Speaker 2: We're about to get something.

00:57:15
Speaker 1: Okay, now, Porsche versus Drusidora. I can't wait to see it. I can't wait to see that. I can't wait to see it. Porsche. First of all, Porsche is that blazer. Porsche gave y'all these too. Porsche was like, Hi, baby, Porsche was like, hey when she when when that Kelly Porsche? And Kelly, Kelly's like yeah, So like, girl, why are you still that woman's man?

00:57:54
Speaker 2: Hicco? Porsche? Hi? What's your name? Who are you? Do? I know you? Your name is? Kelly?

00:58:02
Speaker 1: What it was giving charae remember Chare's epic line, whatever happened to Hi?

00:58:10
Speaker 2: How are you? Whatever happened to customer service? Right? I know? Porsche Porscha clocked that tea.

00:58:18
Speaker 1: Porche said, girl, you at a moment, and Kelly did, We're gonna We're gonna be real. Just because you can you can clock the tea doesn't mean you're dissing them. Kelly rightfully, so wanted a moment and what better moment to happen with Porsche because Porscha gonna give it back. Porscha clocked and said, girl, this is the first night of shooting.

00:58:37
Speaker 2: I'll give it to you later. Maybe I don't know yet. And then when Porsche's talking to Brit, BRIT's like, yeah, so you know.

00:58:45
Speaker 1: That, and Porscha's like, I'm actually over this conversation because Porscha was like, I'm here to clock.

00:58:52
Speaker 2: Drusidora and that's it.

00:58:55
Speaker 1: So Kelly moment flop, unfortunately, just like BRIT's moment flop with Kenya. Porscha and Kenya are the ogs. So the two new girls. Listen, I'll telling you how this works. You got the ogs, Porsche and Kenya. You got the two new g's, right, the two new gangsters, Britt and Kelly Flintstone.

00:59:31
Speaker 2: And then you had you had Kenya and you had BBB.

00:59:40
Speaker 1: And Kenya said, girl, I'm sorry, let's move on, right, because that's what happens. But Porsche's focus was getting drew to the door together. And when I say to you, I can't wait to see what happens. I really did enjoy this episode.
