RHOA-K. Michelle Walks Out, Drew Gets Called Out & Shamea Auditions 🎭

Kelli (00:01.145)
Hi, welcome to Be More Than Ever. I'm Kelly.

Wendy (00:04.308)
I'm Wendy.

Kelli (00:06.165)
tonight we're talking about Real Housewives of Atlanta season seventeen, episode ten, Star Spangled Mess. And I think this this is appropriately titled.

Wendy (00:17.794)
Definitely is.

Kelli (00:18.917)
before we start, we'd like to ask you to please go to our YouTube and subscribe. Go to Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and follow. Give us five-star reviews and thank you. We really appreciate it. Before we start, two things. One, go Knicks. They played tonight, game three. We're back in New York. And the other thing is I just want to shout out Brick Memorial's varsity baseball team won the semifinals today to go into the state championship.

Wendy (00:37.251)
Yes.

Kelli (00:49.237)
I'm like I I know, like I could cry. I'm I'm so sensitive, but my I'm like ridiculous. But my son played baseball up until high school and then decided he just wanted to play basketball. But he played with all these kids growing up, all of them. And they're such a talented group of kids, and I'm just so happy for them. Ugh, so go Mustangs, exactly. I believe the championship game's on Sunday. So go Mustangs. Anyway, let me collect myself.

Wendy (00:49.336)
That's awesome.

Wendy (00:53.676)
my gosh, you are crying.

Wendy (01:05.981)
that's awesome.

Wendy (01:10.776)
Go Mustangs.

Wendy (01:19.636)
Ha ha ha.

Kelli (01:20.037)
we open up with Pinky meeting with her entertainment management team. I think we did know that she was a TV producer before she went into the restaurant business and she was successful and she wants to tell her story, not necessarily the bankruptcy story because that's a personal issue, but about her entrepreneurship and you know, she just wants to get her story out there. She has

Wendy (01:34.126)
For more, yeah. Yeah.

Kelli (01:49.847)
someone in mind to play her in the project. I believe her name was Omaria Hardwick. But they were calling her some N Notori. I know, but on the screen, because I paused it so I could get her name down and I thought it said Omaria Hardwick. So I'm sure one of our listeners will correct us and and please feel free to do so because I thought they were calling her Notori.

Wendy (01:57.578)
No, Notori. Not they were calling her Natori. Notori, yeah.

Wendy (02:14.805)
Yeah, I I mean I paused it. It said Notoria not Lewis and then the guy sitting next to her was her husband and he was a entertainment manager. I didn't get his first name though.

Kelli (02:26.872)
Maybe I got his name down instead of hers, so I apologize for that. But it's it's it's she's working on a project and it's about her and she has somebody already to play her in place. So she was meeting with her management team talking about how they're gonna get that started.

Wendy (02:31.147)
Yeah.

Wendy (02:44.781)
So that that actress, Natori, I used to watch Power all the time. She p she played Tasha on Power. Tasha yes, she played Tasha on Power. And I'm trying to think. I I haven't watched it in so many years I can't even remember all the other characters' names, but she is such a good actress. Like sh and I actually do think that they look alike. Like she would be the perfect person to play her.

Kelli (02:50.421)
is that what she's from? Okay.

Kelli (03:09.27)
Yeah, and she's an established actress, so that's great. Angela and Drew go to Lake Bailey and we finally meet Le Prince, which is very exciting. Cynthia and he have been together for almost two years and then Portia shows up, and then Phaedra shows up. So we have basically the bed cripkeepers as I like to refer to them from their last trip all together.

Wendy (03:12.127)
Yes, exactly.

Wendy (03:37.644)
Yeah.

Kelli (03:39.244)
Le Prince you know, says hello and then excuses himself. And Cynthia and Portia tell them God.

Wendy (03:45.496)
I just I I was gonna say I just wanted to add, so he's thirty nine years old. I don't know if you caught that. She he looks young. He honestly, I mean, he look he's got like a baby face, I think is what it is. Like he's got a baby face. And we've seen her I mean, we've saw her date Peter Tom you know, married to Peter Thomas with the, you know, the Papa Smurf look and just to see her with someone like him it was not what I was expecting, to be quite honest with you.

Kelli (03:51.554)
You could tell there's an age difference.

He does.

Yeah.

Kelli (04:11.833)
No, I totally agree 'cause there has to be an almost twenty year age difference, I would imagine.

Wendy (04:16.053)
It's gotta be twenty because I think she's I think she's fifty nine. I think she just turned fifty nine. Like her big one's coming up, so it's twenty years.

Kelli (04:19.779)
Yeah.

Yeah. Not that you can tell that much of a difference. Like it it doesn't look that, you know, big, but he definitely looks young.

Wendy (04:25.566)
No, no.

Wendy (04:32.919)
But I also wanted to mention her confessional outfit when she started talking about him. This one her hair was pulled back. She had on this copper colored dress. Like she looked stunning, stunning.

Kelli (04:47.214)
Sh I mean she is. She just is stunning. And he must be a tall guy because he had some size on her and she's a tall lady.

Wendy (04:48.917)
She is, she really is. She is. She's beautiful. She really is.

Wendy (04:56.705)
Yes. Yes.

Kelli (05:00.022)
Yeah. So good for them. I I I thought, you know, they look great together. So Cynthia and Portia tell the rest of the ladies about their meeting with Pinky and Kay, and then Angela tells them about her lunch with Shamia. Now, I don't know if you followed this conversation, because I had a little bit of a

You know, when Angela talks, man, it's hard for me to keep up. I really don't have that problem with the rest of them, but Angela, she's so quick with her jabs and her shade, and I can't follow and keep up. I'm old. I'm an old white lady and I stand by it

Wendy (05:32.192)
Mm-hmm.

Wendy (05:41.518)
Yeah, but you know what I think the problem is? Because I don't think this is what I I've I'm finding out with Atlanta. I don't feel like they're always giving us the whole story. Because when this whole thing came out, you know, they said that, you know, Kay, Michelle, like a after after it went well, right? They wanted to know they were talking about what the elephant in the room was. Like who set you up. Now, she never said who set her up, but then

Angela said, My discernment was it was Shemia. So

Kelli (06:13.22)
She thinks Shamia's the one that told Kay that people were trying to set her up. And Kay is saying it was not Shamia. I got a phone call and I told Shamia and Kelly about the phone call. Now who knows if that's true or not. But why would Shamia unless she's just assuming that it was Portia doing this?

Wendy (06:17.249)
Right.

Wendy (06:28.077)
Correct. Correct.

Kelli (06:38.66)
Shemia and Portia haven't been good since last season. Nobody even knew Kay Michelle was coming on the show last season, I would imagine. So if Portia was setting her up, she certainly didn't tell Shamia. They weren't they haven't been cool in that long.

Wendy (06:52.107)
Right. And and this is what I thought was odd. So she invites her to lunch so she said so I could explain why I felt that way. and give her the opportunity to speak. And she's like, you know, we met at a restaurant and it just became destination hell. But she she wasn't explaining anything. She didn't explain anything. Like sh I don't understand what she was explaining to her because it wasn't that she thought that

She was the the root of this rumor to Kay Michelle. That's not what she she didn't say anything about that.

Kelli (07:29.014)
No, all she said was something about her husband being outside and if you're concerned with my husband being outside, my husband saw you outside and then she kind of insinuates that Shamia has cheated on her husband with professional sports players.

Wendy (07:44.621)
She outright said it. She said you've been sleeping with Hawks and Falcons players, and she doubled down when the producer asked her.

Kelli (07:46.307)
Right.

Kelli (07:52.496)
Right. And but then she says, Well, I don't know if it was when she I don't know when this happened. Well then why are you saying it? If she messed around with pro athletes before she got married, who cares? Good for her. It's very messy. But see again I think Angela's doing Porsche's dirty work here. I really do.

Wendy (07:57.4)
Right.

Wendy (08:03.361)
That's messy. It's just messy.

Wendy (08:13.003)
Yeah, I do too, because honestly, it just doesn't make sense. It I mean, Angela is sticking her nose in something that doesn't belong in and then to go throwing around those accusations right. Right. Why throw around these accusations that could really hurt her relationship? I mean, the woman has children. Right.

Kelli (08:20.525)
And why? She wasn't doing this last year. She wasn't doing that last year.

Kelli (08:32.131)
Yeah, impact her marriage. Come on. So as they're there, Cynthia gets a text message from Shamia inviting her to a surprise party for Gerald the very next day. Now, Portia claims that Dennis was invited a week ago. Now, why Dennis would be invited? Well, maybe they hung out as couples when Portia was with Dennis. But seems like Phaedra was invited last week too, right?

Wendy (09:00.718)
no, Phaedra was on the text with Cynthia with Cynthia, yes. Cynthia w they were both on the text together.

Kelli (09:04.939)
with Cynthia. Got it.

Kelli (09:11.043)
Yeah. So now we know Shamia's having a party for Gerald. then we see Kay talking to her son Chase, and she's very proud of him. He's got a corporate job, he's working in DC, and he's getting ready for graduate school. So God bless him. and then we get to Shamia's party. So she brought Kenya to him. She told him they were doing a photo shoot and then surprised him with a party.

And she asked one of his brothers to say a few words about him and his brother says that he's the best gift. He was the best gift as a brother. It was very sweet. It was very sweet. So if we've learned nothing else, we know that Gerald comes from a nice family and he has a good relationship with his brother. So it's always nice to hear that. Kay Michelle, Cynthia Kelly, and Phaedra are all at the party.

Wendy (09:44.205)
That was sweet.

Kelli (10:03.395)
Pinky had a speaking engagement so she couldn't be there and obviously Portia and Angela weren't invited. Kelly was drunk.

Wendy (10:13.164)
my gosh, I she was so drunk. So drunk.

Kelli (10:14.467)
Like so drunk. She starts saying that Shamia and Gerald are her couple goals, and she starts to cry. And then Kay Michelle says, Kelly must have joined them the way she's behaving. And and then we see Kelly in her confessional. She's like, What did I say? I don't I was so drunk, I don't even remember giving a speech.

Wendy (10:37.857)
That's right. That's what she said.

Kelli (10:39.565)
And then Kay says, I want to sleep with Kelly and Shamia and Gerald and my husband. I want all in. She is a freaky deekey, Kay. So let's get it, Kay. And then Kay says that Angela, I guess at the party, right? Kay says Angela told her that she met with Shamia, and Shamia says Angela accused her of sleeping with NBA players. So

Wendy (10:47.489)
That's what she said.

I know, right?

Kelli (11:07.941)
So they're saying fake ass and Kelly says, I've touched Shamia's ass and it is soft and juicy. It is not fake at all. And then they have to explain to Kelly that that's not what they meant. I like a drunk Kelly.

Wendy (11:14.136)
my God, that was so funny.

Wendy (11:21.45)
Ha ha ha.

my gosh, she was so funny. She was so funny.

Kelli (11:26.595)
Yeah. I'm really here for a drunk heli. Now, I don't know if I was daydreaming during this part, but then Portia meets up with Giselle, right? So I'm getting ready. I'm like, okay, here we go. Now we're gonna get the whole Jamal of it all.

Wendy (11:42.83)
But wait, n but no, no, wait, there was more about this. Hold on, before that happened. So Cynthia says the way that sh Angela explained it is that she came there with an open heart and you came in with bad energy. So she was matching your energy. And that's when Shamia went into her Bigfoot thing thing again. And Cynthia's like, Don't, you know, don't I don't like that Bigfoot.

Kelli (11:54.262)
Kelli (12:02.372)
Right.

Kelli (12:05.807)
Yeah.

Wendy (12:09.003)
And she's No, I can call her Bigfoot all I want. And Cynthia's like, as a member of the Bigfoot community, I I love this. and she was like, No, no, no, you wear yours a little differently. You don't you you don't be tripping over your feet. And Cynthia looks puzzled. And the reason I wanted to bring this up is because I listened to Humble Bragg today and Cynthia was talking about this. And I had just said this last week when she called her Bigfoot and she called her Sasquatch. Like that is body shaming.

Kelli (12:14.158)
Yeah.

Wendy (12:38.669)
And Cynthia pointed out that she and I also pointed out last week that Cynthia's just as tall. Like I thought she was just as tall. She may not be. She does have a size eleven shoe and you know, she doesn't like it. And I don't like it either. It's not nice. Like stop calling people Bigfoot.

Kelli (12:39.141)
Absolutely.

Kelli (12:43.289)
Yes.

Kelli (12:53.561)
No, 'cause it definitely is body shaming. Like, especially like Sasquatch. Like you you know And Angela doesn't even seem that big. Like maybe she's got big feet, but she doesn't seem that big.

Wendy (12:58.431)
Yeah don't do it.

Wendy (13:05.449)
I thought so too, but then when she went to Lake Bailey, but maybe 'cause she had heels on. Sh when she walked in the door she was taller than Cynthia, but maybe because she had heels on. Cynthia said she's five ten, but it could have been because she has he had heels on.

Kelli (13:14.536)
okay.

Kelli (13:18.296)
Yeah.

Wendy (13:20.073)
Okay, now we can get to the Giselle thing, sorry.

Kelli (13:22.199)
Yeah, so I'm like r I'm like, here we go. Okay, let's get to the get to the Jamal of it all. And basically, you know, Portia explains that she knows Giselle because they did a very popular show called The Chat Room. you got cancelled, Portia. So I don't know if I'd be calling that a pop. I couldn't stand that. I can watch bad reality TV. I could not watch that show. I couldn't stand that show, but I also couldn't stand anybody on it. Cause it was Portia.

Wendy (13:26.923)
Yeah.

Yeah.

Kelli (13:51.898)
Giselle, Kate Chastine, and Hannah Berner, which now I'm warming up to Hannah, but at the time I was like, you couldn't have picked the four worst people from Bravo to be on this show. I had no interest. So they order their drinks and they toast to a peach and a cherry blossom. And Giselle asked Portia where she was with Shamia, right?

Wendy (14:01.665)
Ha ha ha

Wendy (14:15.467)
Yes.

Kelli (14:16.701)
And Portia says, We rest the case. So that was that. Portia tells Giselle how she was in divor she was in court for fifteen hours for her divorce. I can't even believe a judge or a mediator or whoever withstood that that long. That's an eight hour day, friend. So you almost doubled it. you know, Giselle says that she was in Atlanta shooting behind the gates.

Wendy (14:33.399)
Would stay that long.

Kelli (14:45.579)
And am I wrong? Was that about it for the conversation?

Wendy (14:50.497)
That was about it. I thought for sure nope, nope.

Kelli (14:51.885)
Okay, so I didn't miss anything, right? I mean I even re I'm like, what did I just like zone out? Because sometimes I do, admittedly.

Wendy (14:59.831)
So the the Pastor Jamal isn't it hasn't been said on the show. It's what it's what the blogs are saying. Like that's what the you know, it's not it's not been said on the show.

Kelli (15:07.607)
Okay. Right. But I didn't even know that. So when I saw Giselle, I was like, here we go. Because why would if that's really what was going on, why wouldn't Portia bring it up at that lunch? You got Giselle right there. You already dropped the bombs about Kelly sleeping with a married man.

Wendy (15:14.507)
Yeah, that's what I thought too.

Wendy (15:27.723)
Well, because she wouldn't she she's already maintained that she's not going to name who the married man is because he's married.

Kelli (15:37.837)
Stop it. She would she if if she had proof she would name it. She would do it. She don't care.

Wendy (15:43.245)
I n well, I don't think she has proof of anything, to be quite honest with you. I think everything she says is nonsense. And I'm beginning to think same with Angela.

Kelli (15:51.582)
yeah, absolutely. Absolutely. And then when Giselle walks in, I'm like, we got the two biggest liars of each of their franchises sitting down for for drinks right now. Okay, so this was this was great. Next we see Pinky is having a casting call for her project. Shami is there. She's in the room. Sh Shami is not waiting online, but she's in the room and she's taking this seriously. She's preparing. There's a whole line of people outside.

Wendy (15:53.395)
Enphasra, Enphaira.

Wendy (15:58.348)
Yeah, yeah. Yeah.

Kelli (16:20.503)
Drew shows up and immediately is like, I'm not standing in that line. And she goes into the room with Shamia and she says, I'm not auditioning. Well, what are you there for, Drew? Like, I guess so. There was apparently like a miscommunication between Drew's team and Pinky's team about how Drew operates. So Drew does go into the room with Pinky and her team.

And they tell her to just do an improv because they think she's there to audition, because you would think she would if she was showing up to a casting call. And, you know, Drew's basically like, no, I'm not, I'm not here to audition. So Pinky, you know, obviously thinks Drew thinks she's too good for the project. She does. Or maybe she thinks that she should have just been handed a roll. Like she doesn't know.

Wendy (16:57.536)
Right.

Wendy (17:12.653)
Mm.

Wendy (17:17.493)
I don't think that. I mean, because I saw her on Watch What Happens Live. I saw her on Watch What Happens Live and this this came up. So when I when I watched it like you did, you know, Drew in her confessional said, you know, there's a whole process, you gotta call my my manager, and then you send the sides. And we see they cut to the scene where she's on the phone with her manager and said, Okay.

Kelli (17:19.705)
U you think she thinks she's just too good for the project?

Wendy (17:46.4)
Send me the email and I'll send I'll send her the sides, right? And then after she leaves, Pinky says, I sent the sides to her Keon, to her manager. I thought you were here to you know, to audition. But she also does say later on that, she never told me she was gonna audition, but she accepted the sides, so I assumed that's what she was doing.

Kelli (18:11.279)
She also said something about never receiving an email address. Pinky.

Wendy (18:15.115)
Well yes. And then Drew said, 'cause Andy said that and Drew said, Well, we didn't get any sides. Does she have receipts? And she said, you know, there's a whole process. She's like, I've been doing this since I was eight years old. I have an agent. I have a manager. And I there is a whole process. You have to check the dates of when it's shooting. You don't just show up for an audition if you don't know everything, right? Like it's not just you show up for an audition. So I think that the I think that there the communication

was crossed and she said, Listen, this is this is my livelihood. Like this is what I do. You know, like I'm not gonna turn down a job and I'm not gonna appear to be unprofessional. Like this is what I do. And I I kind of agree with her on this.

Kelli (18:57.241)
I do, but she did seem unprofessional. Just the way that she was like, I'm not auditioning. I'm not auditioning. Well then why are you there? You shouldn't have gone there.

Wendy (19:04.545)
Well, I think I think she went there because she needed the scene time.

Kelli (19:08.761)
Yeah. Right. Right. But Shamia took it very seriously. And Pinky appreciated that. Yeah. And and Pinky said, like, you didn't come in here pulling the friend card. And I you know, I appreciate that. So, let me see. Let me see K Michelle is at her house with her assistant, who looks like she's twelve years old. Is it me?

Wendy (19:15.259)
my god, I think she knocked it out of the park. I think she knocked it out of the park.

Wendy (19:21.909)
Yeah.

Wendy (19:33.817)
she does. No, she looks like she's twelve. She's so tiny too. I mean they're all tiny. No, they're yeah. They're all tiny. They're either really tall or they're tiny.

Kelli (19:35.833)
I'm like, that's that's not her daughter. She doesn't have a daughter. Like they are all tiny. Yeah. Yeah, like Angela probably looks like me. Yeah. Angela probably looks like me and they're calling her Sasquatch. Well, she's very much thinner than me, but you know what I mean. Phaedra comes over to Kay's house and I loved Phaedra's overall look. She looked adorable.

Wendy (19:58.339)
Yeah.

Kelli (19:59.606)
And Kay said that she can she can tell you know, Phaedra's from the south, so she said, I can judge a woman on what kind of pie she brings me. So Phaedra brought her a pecan pie and Kay said that means she's a little nutty.

Wendy (20:13.949)
I loved every part of this and honestly I love Kay Michelle and Phaedra together because I like their banter. I think it's hysterical.

Kelli (20:16.375)
Me too.

Kelli (20:21.655)
I do too. I think again, I think I said this last week, I think Phaedra's doing a good job this this season of being kinda like a Cynthia. Like, you know, she's obviously gonna be closest with Portia, but you know, which I don't like that, but she's doing a good job of not letting that interfere with her friendships with the other ladies.

Wendy (20:45.175)
Yeah, I agree.

Kelli (20:46.969)
So they're going fishing and Kay has hot dogs soaked in garlic powder and Kool Aid. Now, because she said the Caucasian white male told Kay to use that. Has Bill ever heard of that? I think we need an expert to weigh in on this.

Wendy (20:54.369)
In a Ziploc bag.

Wendy (21:02.717)
I didn't ask him, but I've been fishing with Bill many times and there's never been Kool-Aid, garlic powder, and hot dogs involved in the fishing. It's more like clams or shrimp or maybe even chicken, but no, no hot dogs. Yeah.

Kelli (21:14.455)
Yeah. Yeah.

Good to know. So that Caucasian white man does not use that.

Wendy (21:24.085)
No. they have to have beards though. They need to have beards too.

Kelli (21:25.421)
Mm.

Kelli (21:28.827)
that's true. That's true. True. Phaedra asks her how she feels as a newlywed, and she says she would like them to remain the best of friends and she feels obligated to give him a baby. But she's been doing IVF for years and it made her crazy while she was doing it. So she doesn't want to go through that again. So now they're gonna look for a donor. So I guess maybe so if they get a donor, they would

Wendy (21:30.506)
Ha ha ha.

Kelli (21:55.641)
Then she c K could still carry the baby.

Wendy (21:59.81)
She could or she could ha you know, opt to have a surrogate, depending on how she is with her pregnancies. I don't know, you know.

Kelli (22:02.511)
Get a surrogate.

Right. Right. Yeah. So Phaer asked

Wendy (22:13.325)
'Cause I'll be honest with you, I think that even if you do get a donor I'm not a hundred percent sure, if they implant the embryo in her, I think she would still need to get hormone shots because she wasn't herself you know what I'm saying? 'Cause I think that

Kelli (22:29.645)
Yes. It wouldn't it wouldn't be any part of her.

Wendy (22:33.665)
Well no, it's no, I'm just saying her hormones, like sh like I think the surrogate gets hormones too. And even if she put that donor egg with his sperm and that embryo was implanted in her, I still think that they would need to inject her with hormones to get her to where she needs to be to accept it.

Do you know what I'm saying?

Kelli (22:52.985)
Yeah, listen, the more I learn about this, the more I give you ladies who have gone through this so much credit because my lord, that is no, it's not easy. It's a it's a grueling process. So God bless you all for going through that. Phaedra asks why Portia wasn't invited, and Kay says, You know why she wasn't invited to to Gerald's to Gerald's party. Like, come on, Phaedra. And Phaedra's like, We need to have a good time.

Wendy (23:00.779)
No, it's not easy.

Wendy (23:14.143)
She did know.

Right.

Kelli (23:22.337)
And Drew is singing the national anthem. And we're all invited and we're gonna have a good time. And Kay's yeah, I'm already sick. I'm already sick. I'm not going. Drew is singing the national anthem at the Rich Homie Kwan Memorial. So it's a charity event. I guess it was like a baseball game, but it was a charity event. And Shamia Pinky Portia Kelly.

Wendy (23:43.265)
Yeah.

Kelli (23:52.304)
They right? Shemia, Pinky, Portia, and Kelly show up. Angela and Cynthia could not make it. And I thought Drew did a very nice job with the national anthem.

Wendy (23:53.739)
Yes, yes, that's

Wendy (24:01.525)
I do too. I actually I think Drew is a beautiful singer. And I didn't realize this, but Matt made me a playlist of Housewives and the other day we were listening to it and s Drew was on there and I was like, Who is this? He's that's and I look I will she's actu I think she's a good singer. I do. I'm gonna listen to her new song. Well they she just dropped one. they mentioned it on Watch What Happens Live. I'm gonna listen to

Kelli (24:04.559)
Mm-hmm.

Kelli (24:18.477)
Okay. I don't know any of her songs, so I'll

Kelli (24:26.361)
You have got to tell me what is on this housewife's playlist. Is there like a lot of Luann?

Wendy (24:32.031)
I don't remember. I'll have to look. There's candy. No, there's candy. There's candy veris. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, there's candy. Yeah. yeah.

Kelli (24:34.017)
I have got to hear this. I'm sure Melissa's on there. well that's great. That's legit.

Kelli (24:44.609)
Okay. It's like real songs, it's not like, you know, tardy for the party.

Wendy (24:50.059)
Yeah. I I don't think Tarty for the party's on there.

Kelli (24:56.559)
Well, that's good. I'm glad to hear that.

Wendy (24:57.931)
Yeah. Yeah.

Kelli (25:01.477)
Kay calls Phaedra from the car and she's like, You're not at the event. And Phaedra says, No, Mr. President Dylan had a football accident and he has to get his knee drained. poor baby. yeah, that's terrible. So Kay gets out of the car and she goes over to the family. She knew the family, so she pays her respects to the family.

Wendy (25:17.697)
I know I feel bad for him.

Kelli (25:29.835)
And basically tells Drew she came for the family and not for Drew.

Wendy (25:34.027)
Yeah, she does say that 'cause Drew thanks her for coming. She's like, I didn't come for you.

Kelli (25:39.632)
Just Kay keeping it real. So for some reason it's only Shamia, Kay, and Drew. well, I think we knew that Portia and Kelly had to leave early. Shamia, Kay, and Drew go to get something to eat. And Kay, Drew says she's glad Kay came to the event and Kay says, I don't like to go anywhere I don't belong. And Drew said something about the way she speaks and her punctuation.

And Kay's like, I've been accepted into three law schools. So Kay literally gets up to leave, and Shamia grabs her pocketbook. she says Yeah, but Shamia saw the writing on the wall. So Drew says, I have nothing, I have done nothing to this lady. And Shamia says, You do keep saying her name with your dude. And she does. She does. So

Wendy (26:17.549)
Yeah, 'cause she says she's going to the bathroom. She's like, I'm going to the bathroom.

Wendy (26:30.753)
Yep. Yeah.

Kelli (26:36.365)
And Shamia's trying to say, like, I understand both sides and Drew starts calling her a lapdog again and says we don't even know who Shamia is.

Wendy (26:43.809)
Yeah, but before that before that Drew says to Shemia, if you're her good if you're gonna be her good friend, you need to hold her accountable. What what does she need to hold her accountable for?

Kelli (26:56.995)
Right. Like she she doesn't want you saying her name with black. She doesn't want it. She's made it very clear. So just stop doing it. Acknowledge that you did it because you did it and just stop doing it.

Wendy (27:07.894)
Exactly.

Kelli (27:13.827)
So we now we see Kay in the car and she's getting ready to leave and Shamia's like, no, no And then it was fucking epic. Shamia goes to the car, hops in, and they start singing the national anthem.

Wendy (27:30.199)
But before that happens, Kay Michelle's assistant comes in while Shamie's still talking to Drew to get her hand back. I was just like, no.

Kelli (27:34.775)
Yes.

Kelli (27:38.298)
Yeah.

Wendy (27:42.477)
And Shamia's like, Give me a ride and came and showed like, Hop in

Kelli (27:48.515)
I mean that was so epic that they left singing the national anthem. I Drew just doesn't do it for me. She just doesn't do it for me.

Wendy (27:48.589)
That was hysterical.

Kelli (28:00.4)
But I don't know about like, I mean, I think Kay's like really locked into this whole people setting her up and I don't know. Like a lot of l when we thought the oyster comment was about Kay, like a lot of people were saying that it was about Kelly because of the whole hot pocket comment. So that maybe that's true. I just it seems a little coincidental that an ex of

Wendy (28:01.067)
Kelli (28:28.829)
of K's made that comment. Yes, it was eight years ago, but you saw the look in Drew's face when when Portia said that. Like Drew was like, I can't believe she just said

Wendy (28:36.567)
Yeah.

Wendy (28:42.721)
Yeah.

Kelli (28:43.609)
So they all knew about that comet.

Wendy (28:48.493)
So on Watch What Happens live, it was Liz and Drew and I'm just gonna go over like the Drew stuff.

Kelli (28:55.715)
Yeah, 'cause I didn't watch it.

Wendy (28:57.995)
So, Andy had asked Liz about the Jo Ellen thing and Drew says after Liz explains it, I love that you apologized over and over. That's something we don't do in Atlanta and that is a fact. They do not do that in Atlanta.

Kelli (29:10.989)
That is a fact. But they do get over shit quick in Atlanta. That I do appreciate that about Atlanta. Like they can shade the F out of each other and then just be cool like a half hour later.

Wendy (29:15.873)
They do They do. Although yeah.

Wendy (29:23.853)
Honestly, I felt like Rhode Island was doing that too, and I still think they may be, except we'll get there when we could and I told you already what happened about the you know the the audition. the slam pig painting is now in the clubhouse house that Jo Ellen made. So Liz must have brought it with her.

Kelli (29:29.889)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Kelli (29:43.845)
Jo Ellen did? excellent, excellent. Are Ciara's fake boobs? Foxy Brown's not Foxy Brown. That's actually a rapper. Karma Brown, Karma Brown's boobs.

Wendy (29:50.63)
No, I didn't see no I did no yeah. I didn't see those. Drew is now working on her new upcoming album with Dennis. and a viewer asked, like, is Portia okay with it? She's No, we're in a good place. Her and she's like, you know, go naked hair. She's got a line of hair with with Portia.

Kelli (30:06.757)
Second.

Wendy (30:15.883)
She's like, you know, that album that Dennis and I did the other one, it had almost two million streams. So she's making the money.

Kelli (30:24.175)
Yeah.

Wendy (30:24.393)
Andy asked what the status with your issues with Ralph R. And she said, This is such a a PR answer. Well, we're we're moving towards a more positive place. And she's like, I'm not here to bash anyone. I'm not gonna speak negatively. We're just here for our kids. Okay.

Kelli (30:41.081)
Well, listen, if she's taken any lessons from how Doree conducted herself this past season, she's smart to do that.

Wendy (30:50.647)
Well, I agree she's smart to do that. I mean because you know th

Kelli (30:54.339)
It's ju it's just not an entertaining answer though.

Wendy (30:57.491)
No, it's not. Then he asked Drew, do you believe Shmiya was sleeping with players from the Hawks and the Falcons? And she's like, I don't like that allegation. Like she is a husband and kids. Like, if you know something, so let's bring a receipt or you got a video or you got a picture. And I'm glad that she said that, because that's exactly how I feel about that. Like, don't do that.

Kelli (31:16.761)
Listen, I don't believe it for a second. And you know me. I I'm like, you know, typically I I'm like, yeah, if there's smoke, there's fire. But Shamia look seems very, very happy with her husband. She's got a beautiful life. That man is providing extremely well for her. Now she's got the housewives give. Sh gig she's not gonna mess that up. I don't think she would ever have messed that up. I think I think Shemia's solid. I don't maybe she did.

Wendy (31:26.988)
Yeah.

Wendy (31:43.083)
I don't think so either.

Kelli (31:46.457)
mess around with some pro athletes before Gerald, but I can't see, you know, now.

Wendy (31:55.562)
and then sh also she was given a lot of shade to Kelly too.

Something about yeah, on w she calls her a a Cornish game hen. She looked like a Cornish game hen or chicken or something like that. I was like you didn't go there like she like body shaming her again. I was like, what is with these people body shaming?

Kelli (32:02.577)
Drew was?

Kelli (32:12.526)
Yeah.

Kelli (32:16.985)
I don't know why, but the chicks on Atlanta can get away with it. They really do. Because they do it in such a comical way. They just get away with it. But people are coming for Kelly a lot. I like Kelly. And it's not just because we share the name and spell it exactly the same way. But I like her and I I wish like her divorce and her ex were more amicable because it would be nice if she could show us more of her kids.

Wendy (32:44.735)
No, I agree.

Kelli (32:45.215)
Or or the guy she's dating. Like I'm sure that's part of the reason she doesn't show us him either.

Wendy (32:50.509)
Well it and it's new too. Like I don't blame her. I like we're just meeting Cynthia's guy and it's been almost two years. Like I don't think that you were obligated to show someone you're dating until you know it's real, right?

Kelli (33:02.691)
Right. Right.

Yeah.

Wendy (33:07.051)
I don't know. She was getting a lot of flack online for the seventy thousand dollars for her new smile for her veneers. Like they're like, why don't you use that money to open your restaurant or do, you know, something with your kids' tuition? I'm like, Well, I mean, he it was a gift. Like, can you can you specify what gift you want? I don't know. Like, does it work that way? I don't I don't know. I've never received a gift like that. I don't know. And honestly, I don't know that I would try it. Like if someone's offering me

Kelli (33:14.297)
for her teeth. Yeah.

Kelli (33:24.043)
Exactly. He Right, right. Yeah.

Wendy (33:36.705)
Seventy thousand dollar veneers, I might just say thank you. Not can we divert yeah, can we divert these funds to something else, something more practical? Like, I don't know, how do you say that?

Kelli (33:39.925)
Exactly. Take what you can get.

Kelli (33:46.692)
Right.

I don't know. No, I listen, whatever he wants to do for her, let her just have it.

Wendy (33:59.554)
Yeah, that's how I feel.

Kelli (34:01.962)
was that it for Watch What Happens Live?

Wendy (34:04.299)
Yeah, for for Atlanta.

Kelli (34:07.237)
So something we haven't discussed yet, but we saw that it came out that why am I blanking on her name? Shepp's ex girlfriend. Taylor. Taylor's boyfriend Gaston cheated on her and she put him on blast. Do you think she'll come back to Southern Charm? I kinda hope she does at this point.

Wendy (34:19.705)
yes.

Wendy (34:28.779)
I don't know rumor is she may have seen Shep already. Like there may be they may possibly be dating.

Kelli (34:37.143)
I think he reached out to her and said, like, I'm so sorry to hear that this happened. I didn't hear that they might be seeing each other again, but I I kinda feel like I want to see her back on Southern Charm. And I kinda wanna see her back on Southern Charm. Listen, I I Sally really irked me this last season and I you know I was a huge Sally fan.

These girls, I always say how beautiful they are and how attracted I am, and then they start to irk me. Like Mia is now irking me too on Southern Hospitality. But I kind of hope Taylor comes back. But I am loving the Sally and Kyle Cook rumors that I'm hearing. And I'm kind of here for that.

Wendy (35:21.089)
I think listen, I think that would be fine for just a little fling. I think nothing serious. Go ahead. Have your fun, right?

Kelli (35:27.109)
But even if it did like imagine if those two like made it. Like imagine because I feel like Sally she'd move to New York. What does she care? Like, yeah, she's got family there, but it's not like it's not like Paige moving to Charleston or Craig moving to New York. It's not that serious. Like I don't think I I mean obviously Sally's got a great job in the medical field, but she can kind of go do that anywhere. I don't know. I'm kind of here for the Sally and Kyle Cook.

Rumors.

Wendy (35:59.106)
I'm okay with it, but I don't think it should be anything serious. I mean I did also see that Kyle has made up with Austin and Craig. Did you see them together? So

Kelli (36:07.575)
Of course, because that was all made for T V bullshit anyway, Kyle coming at Craig for not investing in Loverboy when it like that was all nonsense. I really think that that was just for the show. I really think Kyle was doing the most because trying to get more interest in Summer House.

Wendy (36:26.102)
Or lover boy.

Kelli (36:28.889)
Both really, yeah. But somebody put on Facebook that they would love to see a guy's trip, and I thought that would be amazing. Imagine like Kyle, Jesse, Solomon, Austin, Craig, Shep, and like throw like Joe Gorga and Frank Catania in there. How funny.

Wendy (36:49.569)
no, that would be weird. I think Joe and Frank like they're too old to be I mean, not that they can't keep up, because they certainly can keep up. I know.

Kelli (36:55.183)
They can keep up bring all these fuckers to the Jersey shore and let Joe and Frank Catania show them a good time. I think that that would be so good.

Wendy (37:02.105)
Wendy (37:05.535)
It would be funny. I mean I would watch it for sure. I would definitely watch it.

Kelli (37:08.581)
Absolutely. Absolutely. I can handpick some other ones, but I think that's good to start with. Like imagine Jesse Solomon out with Joe Gorga. I think I just think it would be a blast to see that. I'm I'm gonna petition for that.

Wendy (37:22.111)
I do too. I All right, that's a good plan. Have you watched the Southern Hospitality Reunion? Did you watch any of it? Do you want to talk about a little bit?

Kelli (37:29.828)
I did.

We could talk about it a little bit. I

Wendy (37:34.613)
All right. what are your thoughts? What about Joe and his new idea for his new business that Leva is is send like she's there for it. What do you think about that?

Kelli (37:47.054)
Yeah. I like it. I'm glad that that worked out because I do feel like Joe Bradley's gonna be part of the Republic family. Like that's his that's his future, right? He's not gonna go and do anything on his own. I don't think Joe has the the Hutzpah to go and and do anything. So I feel like him partnering, but you gotta be loyal. You gotta show up, you gotta do what they're asking from Lamar and Leva.

Wendy (37:59.19)
I think so too.

Wendy (38:15.275)
Yes, yes.

Kelli (38:15.663)
But I I like it. But I

you know, when when Maddie was like basically Joe's a yes man, he kind of is.

Wendy (38:27.947)
He definitely is. But like Leva said, like he is the best like VIP sell he's the best salesperson out there. So if anyone's gonna sell an experience and sell all seven of her places, it's it's him. He's the biggest hype man out there and that's the perfect job for him.

Kelli (38:44.548)
Yeah.

Kelli (38:48.439)
It's the perfect job for him and and her and Lamar like being on board with giving him another shot. I'm I'm definitely there for it. What do you think about TJ and Michaels? Like, do you think either one of them have true feelings for the other one? Or do you think that they I'm sure they hook up and God bless them, but do you think that they act like they have feelings for each other for the show? Because sometimes I do.

Wendy (38:56.929)
Yeah.

Wendy (39:16.565)
No. I think that TJ had feelings for Michaels. And Michaels didn't really have feelings for TJ at one point. And then I think it flipped. I think Michaels starting have started having feelings for TJ. And TJ was, you know, good to go with it. But then when Michaels would be like, no, and not own it.

Then he's like, I'm not giving myself to someone. Like, I'm not gonna be that fool. Because listen, I mean, TJ's older, Michaels is young. Not that ha not that that's that, but I think that they said yes, he does. He does. And you know what? I think it's smart that they don't, because if they don't want to ruin their friendship, I think that's the way to go. But I honestly feel like their friendship is fractured already because just watching the divide between TJ and

Kelli (39:50.244)
Right.

Right.

Kelli (39:56.462)
No, but TJ does seem like he's ready to like settle down with someone. Yeah.

Wendy (40:15.745)
Brad against Michaels and yeah, yes.

Kelli (40:19.587)
Emmy and Lake and the rest of them, really. Really, it's always TJ and Brad versus everybody else. And quite honestly, the microaggression happened, yes, and Emmy needs to own it, yes. But other than that, Brad's fucking messy. He did pay that woman to come on and make it like Maddie's boyfriend cheated on her. He did that. That's very bad behavior.

Wendy (40:45.771)
He did and he was still trying to throw Joe under the bus with the group text. Like still. You know, like I I don't know. I think and you know, Mia jumps right on board with that.

Kelli (40:49.197)
Yes. Yep.

Kelli (40:56.917)
I know and that's why she's really irking me. And then it's gonna come out that she said that West has good D and tries to get out of it and Leva's like, I even heard you say it. I don't like Molly. I don't like Molly at all.

Wendy (41:00.353)
Yeah.

Wendy (41:12.875)
Yeah. I don't either. She's she's another potster. She's another one who I think lies. I think her and Mia should be friends because they are the same person. I know. Yeah. I didn't realize she had seven places down there on King Street. That's crazy. We have to go to King Street. And by the way, I thought she looked gorgeous in that green. Leva looked beautiful in her her green.

Kelli (41:23.215)
They are. They definitely are.

Yeah, I don't know.

Kelli (41:34.053)
Me neither. We gotta go down there.

Kelli (41:42.63)
She always does. Do you follow her on Instagram? I cannot tell you how many times I have DM'd and she has answered. Leva answers or somebody answers about her lipstick. Yeah, I bought a Chanel lipstick that she was wearing one time because she answered me back, told me the name of it, and said link in my bio. I don't know if it's her or one of her representatives, but somebody gets back to me. Who cares?

Wendy (41:46.623)
I don't actually. Really?

Wendy (41:53.824)
Stop.

Really?

Wendy (42:03.799)
Well, who cares? W if there's a link in her bio, she's getting paid. Which is good. She really is.

Kelli (42:08.577)
Right. She is stunning Leva, no matter what she does, she's stunning.

Wendy (42:14.785)
And what about Joe wearing Michael's suit that he wore for I mean, how perfect was that? That was great.

Kelli (42:23.747)
That was great. Yes. Mm-hmm.

Wendy (42:27.649)
Like you wouldn't look at them and see think that they were the same size, but I guess they are.

Kelli (42:32.183)
Yeah, I guess so. Yeah, that was good. I'm trying to think what else happened.

I mean we c well I didn't see I didn't I don't like this. Like TJ was he on a podcast or was he on Watch What Happens Live and somebody asked him if he has heard cheating rumors about Will again and he said yes. See yes so Andy asked the question, like, stop a the this guy has removed himself from the show. Emmy is again, microaggression aside, because she's guilty and she needs to own it. But f the other the cheating stuff, like she's fighting for her life here.

Wendy (42:52.897)
Watch what happens live.

Kelli (43:11.053)
Alone because this guy's not on the show anymore. Stop asking about him and stop talking about their relationship. It's like the Nia and Danny thing. Like, listen, I don't I'm not gonna try to say that you know, Emmy and Will have an arrangement, but that's their relationship. Whatever it is, it is. She's planning a wedding. Yes.

Wendy (43:30.871)
Well, it's Andy. It's Andy being shady. Because even Andy asked the question, he asked him the question on Watch What Happens Live. And even after Emmy made that statement, that's unacceptable, this is not an appropriate question. We are not dis I'm not discussing this. Andy continued to ask. And I'm like, that's not cool. That's not cool.

Kelli (43:46.083)
Right, exactly. Like let it go. You're especially because and you and I w are will are both would both be sensitive to this. That girl has anxiety. She obviously has anxiety. And she was it you can tell like sh it almost looked like she was ready to have a panic attack. Like Andy, back the fuck up. Like don't make this a hostile environment for her.

Wendy (44:09.472)
Mm.

Kelli (44:13.699)
And I know people, you know, and I I know she's not innocent by any means, Emmy, but when addressed with that part of her life, if she doesn't want to talk about it and it's making her visibly, physically uncomfortable, stop. Stop. The microaggression, go at it. Like she needs to own up to that and that needs to be discussed.

Wendy (44:29.227)
No, I totally agree. Because he's not there. Right.

And I think that she does. I think we see that she has apologized profusely at this point, but I don't think he's willing to accept her apology. And you know what? That's his right. He doesn't have to accept her apology. He doesn't. He's allowed to feel however he wants to feel about the situation. But

Kelli (44:46.795)
Absolutely. Absolutely.

But the thing with Brad is, and we see we saw it with Maddie, like he's not gonna let it go. He is going to probably do something next season to her. You know what I mean? Like retaliate, like he did Maddie falsely.

Wendy (45:11.378)
gosh, I would hope not. I would hope that his new girlfriend would steer him away from that.

Yeah, we will see.

Kelli (45:21.594)
Yeah. No, I do think it's we're talking about Rhode Island later. Yep. No, that's it. Well, thank you very much for watching and listening. Please like, share, subscribe, five star reviews. Thank you. Bye.

Wendy (45:21.933)
Right. Anything else?

Wendy (45:28.801)
Yeah.

Wendy (45:42.744)
Bye.
