    Right!

    The part that confuses me is why the need to catch Mia in a lie like were they boyshorts or was it a thong? That's the kind of thing it looks like they are trying to find inconsistencies about and it's so corny. 

    Like who cares if here and there she's trying to soften it up a little or shine it up a bit? I mean what she supposed to do recount every seedy detail? She shares the jist and the idea of it all freely.  Do they really need to get her to speak on the particulars in great detail?

    The girl done admitted to the stripping. She admitted to meeting her husband there and admitted to him investing in her already established projects afterwards. 

    They really need to catch her in a "lie" about what exactly? Hell her truth is enough to clown her if they wanted to but they know she's already taken the sting out of the truth by being unapologetically matter of fact about it and that bugs cause as much as anyone wants to clown her she's already beaten them to the punch.  

    She does falter a bit so Imma need her to steel it up some and shorten her explanations a bit more. Elaborating on stuff only gives them more questions to ask. And she needs to resist the urge to present the joint as the Creme' de la Creme' of the Elite of the Esteemed...etc. etc. etc.. LOL! Edit girl, edit... 

    I think the issue is that Mia came in strong saying that she keeps it all the way real, but that claim seems superficial.  

    It's like she is perfectly honest about having vaginal surgery in a room full of strangers.  

    But then she can't remember how old she is or how old her husband is. 

    She is honest about meeting her husband while she worked in a strip club, but it took like 10 recitations for her to get to some iteration of what is maybe the truth.  

    First she was a bartender and then she just hung out in her ballgown and eventually she admitted to stripping.  

    I half expected her to say she was cooking lobsters and steaks in the back and met G because he wanted to compliment her cooking.  

    It's a combination of insisting your honest and forthright and then lying about the most bizarre stuff.

    Had she just started out with "he is 68 and I met him when I was a stripper" I don't think anyone would have had more than a raised eyebrow.

    I got nothing.

    Good luck to CandyAss and all of her saintly behavior that has nothing to do with the consequences that she faces. None what so ever. 

     

    I wish them ALL luck and the restraint and maturity not to respond to words with physical violence, since they chose to be on a show about verbal shit slinging.  

    I haven't looked for saints since touched by an angel was cancelled. LOL.

    •  A transition to the more fitting WE's Marriage Boot Camp Reality Stars. Chris would be in hog heaven to be in the company of the likes of Lyrika and A1.

    Are they on that show?  That man is truly unappealing and he should be thanking god every day he found a woman who wanted to settle down with a man wearing THOSE pearls.  

    Like I'm about making a statement about gender but the stuff A1 wears is so embarrassingly tacky.  

    I wonder if be uses the same stylist as gizelle.

    Thing is none of these scenarios ended in a physical altercation. Why? Because what CandyAss does is NOT the same as what the other cast members do.

    So basically,

    Reword, reinterpret and retell my post 

    I don't see how I've misinterpreted what you've said.  

    What you're saying is that candace MUST be doing something out of bounds or particularly egregious because she was physically assaulted. 

    To me, it's a backwards logic that posits that what candace must be doing something particularly bad because she was physically attacked. 

    I think that's a dangerous position but not an uncommon one.

    100% agree on everything. 

    This is the thing for me, Candiace is the only one that has anything going on in her real life, she could easily have half her scenes with just herself and Chris (without Dorothy please) and living her life, I can already see the "plots": will she pass all of her exams? Does she get along with her class? Have a graduation party; is her singing career taking off? Is she really singing live? If she makes a club appearance will people come? Etc. 

    I find Michael to be disgusting but no way would Ashley be still on the show without him, Robyn has been dancing around a wedding for several seasons and now they're trying to make a new storyline about her having another child, but her only real worth to the show is being Gizelle's bodyguard, oh, and I think everyone has said enough about Gizelle for a lifetime. 

    I do like Candiace and I see that the other women antagonize her intentionally, however, she's more than a willing participant so at the end I do think she's just as guilty, she needs to control her emotions and pick her battles, if she did, her life would be MUCH easier on the show and off. 

    I really was hoping that we'd see more of candace pursuing her MBA.  

    I wanted to meet her classmates because I'm sure a few of them are interesting and run the gamut from rich to poor, politically connected, prior work experience, etc, etc.  

    I also just love college campuses so I would have enjoyed some scenes filmed there.  Although apparently Howard has some problems with their dorms. 

    I think candace is an EQUAL participant.  My issue comes with the implication that she is so much worse and deserves beatings.

    TO THE BOLDED:

    There in lies the point. Ashley didn't smack her ass back in her chair when she jumped up and towered over sitting Ashley with A butter knife. 

    However Monique dragged that bitch and put a serious hurting on her just for a hair flick.

    You never know how someone is going to receive aggressive behavior. Some may just laugh it off and others will take it as a threat and slam your head on a table. 

    I mean, if CandyAss want to take that gamble that's well within her rights. If at the end of the day, knowing that she has a rally of supporters in her corner soothes that fat lip and black eye then hey. More power to her. 

    I guess... 

    --------

    I don't get these hypotheticals. I'm speaking on what HAS transpired on the show and not the whole What if scenarios that keep derailing the point.  The behavior that I've actually seen her engage in. I'm not trying to rewrite anything. Just calling it like I see it. 

    This ain't no precendent for court proceedings and this ain't for no law journal. Just my lil ole opinion Lol. 

    I've explained what my reasoning is in CandyAss's case and her actual nonsense. It doesn't apply to some mythical world or alternative universe where somehow this creates "grounds" for some Gizelle and Mia UFC encounter or Karen and Robyn 13 round MSG title fight or Ashley and Askala Royal Rumble. My definition of things aren't based on the spinning and spinning and spinning of what is obviously ugly behavior.  I don't condone how CandyAss has conducted herself and I don't turn that into how current events should have then dictated what went down in past encounters with other wives in different situations.  I don't look for angles to let her behavior pass and maybe that's just me. 

    Case closed, court adjourned. LOL! 

     

     

    Guess it wasnt very aggressive at all since, by your logic, the reaction determines whether someone's words or actions crossed a line.  

    So there are no real rules, since you'll determine the propriety of the words AFTER the response to the words. 

    In which case,  you're kinda saying that everyone who is physically attacked for speaking had it coming.  

    And that, to me, is an extremely dangerous mindset. 

    *****************

    Long story short, everyone takes a risk that they will encounter a violent weirdo and if the idea is that you have to curb yourself because you could get attacked you're on the way to only allowing the physically strongest people to speak.  And that, again to me, is an extremely dangerous position.  

    ***************

    You mention hypotheticald but a lot of your reasoning rests on the hypothetical reactions of hypothetical people. 

    You say that there are people in the world who would beat candace for what she says and does on the show, but those are all hypothetical people in hypothetical situations.  

    The reason I mention the hypotheticals is because the biggest reason I've ever heard that candace is doing anything so terrible to deserve a beating is because she was previously physically attacked and because hypothetical "people" would also physically attack her for what 

    No one really has any other reason that can stand up to even mild scrutiny.  

    The reasons I've seen range from "candace takes low blows so she should get beat because if she was in the streets some people would beat her ass"

    Okay, but gizelle took very low blows with Karen.  Ashley took low blows with Katie and with Karen (by making prison rape jokes about ray). 

    Now it's "well candace physically invades people's space" 

    Okay, well Mia has repeatedly done this and so has Robyn.  And technically so has Ashley, who kept showing up someplace she was specifically told to leave.  

    So, to me, if none of these reasons stand up to scrutiny it shows that there are simply different rules applied to candace.  And that's cool but to me, it's dangerous to rely on any reasoning that includes "well, she got beat before so if she gets beat again it's her fault"

    Thing is none of these scenarios ended in a physical altercation. Why? Because what CandyAss does is NOT the same as what the other cast members do. No one is saying that the other women DON'T have distasteful antics. Hell I can't stand Gizelle and think she's the biggest mean girl out there. Same goes for boring Robyn who continues to look stank even when she's smiling and in a pleasant mood. 

    However, shade IS expected and some of it is honestly comical. I don't like it when they take it too far or touch on subjects that are over the line and should be off limits and no I don't think someone should get back slapped if an occurrence of overstepping does occur but if overstepping DOES happen I'm all for a reading rainbow read session and hope someone has the skillset to do just that. That's the big draw of the show and that's within the scope of what the other cast members do.

    CandyAss has a different approach. How many times have we seen any of the other women on this franchise (Potomac) conduct themselves in a physically threatening manner? I mean, I've watched on and off so it's very possible that I've missed a thing or two. I think I recall Robyn stepping to someone with the bring it on attitude but other than that altercations at that level aren't really common place (and shouldn't be).  There's a difference between the shade the barbs and the low key showdowns they have. Yes, there have been heated conversations and tempers flaring but it isn't very often or frequent that these women are going toe to toe revving to take it to the next level disrespecting personal space. Just sayin'.

    How many times has CandyAss taken it from throwing shade, making digs to trying to "square up" with someone? The others don't really make it a habit of getting up in people's faces, finger wagging, waving objects and having to be dragged away, sat on, held down etc. etc. Who do we constantly, and the key word is CONSTANTLY, see needing this kind of intervention over and over again...?? hmmmmm.. Now, If that isn't considered obvious volatility and aggressive behavior then shoot I can only guess that it's just willful denial at this point. 

    Okay, so then the result determines how bad the words are. 

    In other words, if someone gets hit, they MUST have "taken it to the next level"

    Because saying there must be something particularly wrong with what candace says or does because she is the only one who for physically attacked sounds like just that.  

    Even though multiple cast members have done way worse and haven't gotten beaten.  

    If gizelle or Ashley had been attacked then it would have meant that they had "taken it to the next level?" 

    Mia had repeatedly invaded personal space and so has Robyn.  So, by your definition, they too were "taking it to the next level"  

    Mia, in one season, has done this multiple times and robyn has at least done it twice.  Robyn went so far as to chase after monique daring her to fight. 

    Anyone who is physically violent can argue that they were "provoked" into it.  There were a lot of "what did you say to him girl?" type comments when pictures of Rhiannas busted face went public.  

     

    Candace hasn't been dragged away for being physically aggressive or violent.  Chris has already said that he tries to ger candace to leave because people like Ashley and Mia are trying to use her for a moment.  

    And LOL, I guess candace wasn't so "physically aggressive" that Ashley went right back into her house after being TOLD to leave. 

    Ashley literally invaded someone's personal space after having been told to stop and leave.  Yet someone she didn't "take it to the next level?"  

    I mostly mention this so people consider whether they are applying the same standards to everyone on the show.  Because it sure doesn't seem like it to me.

    You hit the nail on the head... Non physically and with no injury... LOL!

    I love this: "Might end up with a unexpected, but PREDICTABLE L". Exactly! Although at this point, and with what CandyAss has already experienced it shouldn't be so unexpected now. 

    For me it's this magical place people seem to want to live in which is great and all but to be so stubborn about the reality of other side doesn't make sense. I could even understand that different environments breed different expectations which tracks but CandyASS had her little safe bubble burst last season and yet here we are with her swinging for the fences again. Like, little girl, ain't nothing wrong with taking a step back and reevaluating your method of handling things. For your OWN benefit. Good Grief! 

    Point is, people can wax poetic all day and all night but there is such a thing as inviting unnecessary risk into your life and for the life of me I can't understand why CandyASS doesn't exercise a bit more thought in how she chooses to go about her dealings on this show. It's the thick skull that bugs me. Well that and she does seem to have one of the most meanspirited energies among the women. Obviously, they are all catty and have their messy, rude moments and storylines but with CandyASS there's a level of ugly that I just can't stomach. 

     

    Is unnecessary risk determined by the result? 

    Because what gizelle did to Karen was much lower than what candace said about mias mom, IMO.  

    Ashley picking on a mentally unstable woman seems much lower, much less necessary and much riskier than anything candace has said or done. 

    If wendy had actually dragged gizelle would the general consensus be that gizelle must have taken unnecessary risks because she got physically attacked?  Or that gizelle lives in a fantasy land when she imagined she could talk shit about someone's marriage and husband and not get her ass handed to her?

    I'm going to try to put this in the candace thread but am not sure how.

    Same.  I think it's entirely possible, but this isn't the kind of place that is going down routinely.

     

    You should take a shower to get rid of all the glitter. And shame, lol. 

     

    Not at all.  And the fact that she had a ME franchise locked down before she even married him is impressive.

    I dont know, Mia seems to peddle in half truths, misrepresentations and outright lies.  

    Given her history on inconsequential stuff like "how old is your husband?" I'd kinds want to see receipts on the massage envy and "giving" her a business.  

    The funny thing to me is that even if Mia was stripper who slept her way to being a trophy wife, I'd STILL call that a win, because she found a way to make the best out of a horrible situation.

    In some ways, it is kind of cool to see Issa and Lawrence so successful after the show opened Issa in a dead-end job and Lawrence being unemployed for 2 years. We have seen some of Issa's journey and know that it is always a work in progress.

    However, Lawrence is portrayed as this successful in a short amount of time is a little hard for me to buy. He has this beautiful luxury apartment in San Francisco and seems to lead a high-end expensive lifestyle.

    My guess is that he is working for a tech venture capitalist firm and it is hard for me to believe that passive Lawrence is so successful in a cutthroat industry like that one.

    I think he is a smart guy but he has never been shown to be savvy or particularly industrious.

    My friend jokes that she thinks Lawrence gets a bit of "pretty or should I say handsome privilege" in his life.

    Lawrence 100% gets pretty privilege.  

    I think those worlds like venture capital and finance has a "look" even in tech.  I dont remember any homely people around that table.  

    Little surprised they aren't wearing Patagonia vests, LOL.  

    I couldn't even imagine how much Lawrence is renting that apartment for each month.  I have a friend who lived in an apartment by Alamo park/painted ladies.  

    I think she had like 6 roommates.  The rent is so nuts. 

    It's interesting because I didn't think Lawrence was in finance and it seemed like a capital firm.

    I agree about Candiace possibly having small implants but they look great on her and very natural. 

    I swear to you that this thought popped into my mind as I was at the gym this morning.  

    If she has had work done, it's been well done.  

    I dont even know that gizelle was being shady when she talked about candaces style. 

    Candace has the body to buy clothes off the internet.   

    Gizelle and i, like most normal women, have to get into the dressing room with a three way mirror to see how that fits before we buy. 

    I think candaces style is cute, it's a callback to the 80s and 90s.  But lordt if I started walking around in bike shorts and a crop top I'd end up on a "people of Walmart" website.

    Wow, you know an awful lot about her. Since she's doing so well maybe she will leave the show to pursue all her other interests that must be keeping her so busy. Bye, bye, Candyass!

    Cardi B.  had a hit song and kept talking about her checks from Mona Scott.  

    K.Michelle and Remy Ma both had hit songs and stayed on their respective reality shows. 

    So maybe candace stays and maybe she goes.  Either way it'll be her decision :)

    Why is the assumption that Mia's mom is a victim without any agency? There is absolutely zero evidence that Mia "dragged", forced, or arm-twisted her mom to be on tv. At the end of the day, her mom had to sign a release, show up and film. She There is absolutely no evidence that she was coerced in any way, and yet, there is this narrative that Mia somehow took advantage of her. It just doesn't track for me. 

    I dont think it's as black and white as saying that she somehow couldn't say no.   

    However, it seems clear to me that mias mom is not as savvy about reality TV as Mia.  

    So "sharing her story" to a national audience would have been an easy thing for Mia to pressure her into.

    Mia however, knew better and knew that she wasn't just getting her mom on TV to share an inspirational story but was getting her on TV to exploit her addiction and to berate her on national TV.  

    So, yeah, the pressuring and taking advantage narrative works for me.  Mias mother was no Dorothy, reveling in being on TV. 

    Nothing about her demeanor or styling said that.  She looked extremely uncomfortable.  And I don't take "well she signed a release" as per se proof that Mia didn't misrepresent and exploit her.  All.the guys on bumfights signed releases too.

    My best friend’s brother lives in the Bay Area. He and his ex are divorced but he still lives with her because he can’t afford anything decent/big enough for their two kids, and he makes good money (mid-senior ad guy). (His ex barely works, which is part of the problem.) And the place they live in isn’t in that great a neighborhood.

    A woman I know has kids who live out there and she was horrified by how much the rent was on the place she lives in, and buying is totally out of reach (it’s like $1.5M). She’s like “it’s a boring box in a basic neighborhood!”

    Both Condola and Lawrence made mistakes regarding Elijah. Condola started it with telling Lawrence he could be as involved as he wanted. Both of them continued messing things up by not having follow-up conversations about what specifically the parenting plan should be. It sounds like they didn't even have a conversation about names. And once the baby was here the resentments grew as Condola became a single parent, because Lawrence lives in another city. I'm glad they are going to talk. If I had to guess, I suspect one of them may have to move so they can actually co-parent.

    I'm going to miss Kelli when this show ends. Her toast cracked me up. I also loved her high cousin dressed up like Peppa Pig.

    LOL, which part showed Mia caring for her mom, the part where she dragged her on TV and berated her for not being "available enough" for her?  The part where she took a recovering addict and made her relieve her painful past for a national TV audience?  Or was it the part where she shit talked her mom on national TV after she got annoyed with G and made sure to do it when her mom wasn't around to respond?  Or was it the part where she reminded her recovering addict of a mother how neglectful she was in front of a national TV audience?

    Candass can certainly have a child but she’s hateful and would probably be jealous of the kid and do the same things Dotty does. But in regards to Chris, he has enough on his plate with the two kids that come over and the estranged one.

    We can speculate on  Michael Darby. Yes he seems shady. Hopefully Ashley has her housewife money and isn’t blowing it on anymore dumb videos like the one she did awhile back. Candass should be saving her coin from the show too cause I’m sure the offers will dry up soon after housewives is over. Nene Leakes was on a real tv show and things still didn’t work out for her.

    LOL, Candiace isn't any more hateful than any other person on that stage.  

    Gizelle wore a tee-shirt to hate on a man who has been nothing but kind to her and her "friend" of 20 years.  Thats hateful.  

    Ashley said she had squashed her beef with Candace and then turned around to write a statement for Monique just to "get back" at her.  Ashley also made prison rape jokes about Ray, a man who has been nothing but kind to her.  Ashley undertook to viciously pick on Katie when she was clearly struggling mentally.  Thats hateful. 

    But suddenly Ashley is some paragon of motherly kindness.  LOL.  

    Candace responds when people come at her, and then they get mad when she hurts their feelings.  Maybe stop coming at her.  Ashley made those jokes about Ray and he never came at her and it was fully unprovoked.  But suddenly Candiace is especially hateful.  LOL. 

    There is nothing to suggest that Candiace would be jealous of a baby, there is nothing that suggests she is jealous of any of them.  And certainly not jealous of Ashley Darby who embarrasses herself staying married to a sexual predator who is very obviously in love with another man.  Everytime I see Candace and Chris film their confessionals together, they look like they sincerely like each other.  Everytime Michael looks at Ashley, he legit looks disgusted.  

    LOL, my parents raised four children full time and were fine.  So, there is nothing to suggest there is "too much" on his plate.  Though there is likely quite a bit on her plate, and thats GREAT for her.  It seems a much better plan to pursue your career opportunities first before having a family because its very hard to do it the other way.  

    When did Nene Leakes drop her last album?  When was her last BET movie?  

    Ashley is in the unenviable position of having to support her family of leeches who are also on the Darby gravy train.  And NOTHING Ashley has done has worked out, her restaurant failed, her song flopped and instead of being smart and taking some time after her second child, she is intent on having a third.  She has a giant platform and has done nothing with it.  Robyn has her hats, Wendy has her candles, Karen has LaDame, Candace has her music and her movie, even Gizelle had her makeup line and she and Robyn have the podcast.  

    Ashley is the only one who is completely pissing away this opportunity.  Why isn't she doing daily yoga videos?  With her second should could have easily done Yoga for Mommies, or Yoga to bounce back, or whatever.  Instead she has managed to do nothing, but make more kids with a gremlin who is in love with another man.

    Mia’s mom probably got some good $ by going on the show with Mia. Either way it’s their business. At least I can root for Mia and her mom. Candass and her mom are toxic. Chris should be providing for them so that she doesn’t need mama Dot. 

    Mia shouldn't have encouraged her mother to risk her sobriety for a pittance of a reality TV show payment.  If money was an issue, she should have insisted she pay her mom a ton for whatever babysitting she did.  

    I think Mia and her mom are just as toxic.  Dragging your struggling mother on TV so you can exploit her drug addiction and painful past for a reality show paycheck is nothing I'd root for.  

    Whenever people handwave away the exploitation of others with a "well, they got paid!" I'm reminded of that guy who did those bum fight videos, and how he used the same justification for exploiting vulnerable people.  If Mia thinks anything she does is justified because someone got paid off, then she seems far more careless than Candace with her own mother.  

    Why do you think Dorothy is supporting them?  She hasn't come out and said it, and she certainly isn't shy about explicitly saying she is doing so.  

    Candace works and seems to be doing fine, so I'm not sure why there is a preoccupation with what Chris is doing or why Candace having a child has much of anything to do with what Chris needs.

    Does Chris need a third baby mama when he’s not working? No. 
    Candass is trying to strike but she’s not doing a great job. She has her husband managing her and he seems lazy. Her singing is mediocre. 
    Im no fan of Michael Darby but Ashley should at least get paid when things hit the skids. Candass is going to have to pay this fool to get out of her life (or Dorothy will)

    I heard Drive Back, someone posted it on her thread and it’s pretty bad. 

    I'm not sure why Candace having a child would be couched in terms of what Chris needs or doesn't need.  

    Candace so far had that song playing about 10 times on the show, she released a full length album and Andy mentioned it on the show.  Her song was #5 on iTunes.  Anita Baker gave her song/album a shout out.  She had her BET holiday movie, she had her TV pilot.  AND she is getting her MBA from Howard. She is actually making moves, so to me she is doing a great job of striking while the iron is hot. 

    LOL, Candace is a good singer,  to me, its the same as with Azelia Banks, people will say her music is so terrible, but its a function of simply not liking her and you'll find quite a few who have never listened to a song.   Most people who are objective are like "Azelia Banks is super talented, I wish she would get the hell off twitter"

    I don't at all think Ashley will get a big payout from Michael Darby.  That man is an entitled asshole and if Ashley doesn't think that applies to her, she had better watch herself.  Michael never seemed to want kids, but they were thrust on him.  I've talked about and looked at ice cream with more passion and desire than Michael has for his wife and second family.  

    Real Estate was one of the easiest way to launder and hide money in the 80s and 90s.  Now he is getting into making movies without any particular reason why, and thats another way to launder and hide money.  He had a whole separate family, in another country, IIRC and so he has a lot of opportunity to funnel money to LLCs and trusts using his children and taking advantage of their citizenship.  And even his own citizenship status if he is also a citizen of Australia.  I've always been suspicious of Michael's business.  She will end up getting what Michael feels like he should give her to support those kids.  It would be a smart move to funnel all his recognized money into this movie thing, claim it went bust and now he cannot pay Ashley as much child support.

    It wouldn't surprise me in the least if Michael sought counsel the minute Ashley got pregnant the first time.

    Candass getting on Mia for using her mom for a storyline when Candass has paraded Dorothy out since she started is laughable. At least Mia’s mom is trying to turn over a  new leaf. Dot doesn’t really even like her daughter very much and disrespects her son in law on tv. 

    And this is what makes Mia's decision much worse IMO.

    Dorothy is perfectly happy to be on camera, be it good or bad, shittalking or whatever.  Dorotny gives as good as she gets.  

    Mia's mother on the other hand is just restarting a relationship with her daughter and she has been turning over a new leaf, being sober, spending time with her grandchildren and getting healthy after a lifetime in prison.  Why would Mia encourage her mother to risk her sobriety with all the stress and conflict and public embarrassment that comes with being on a reality show?  Mia consistently berated her on camera and then at the end of the season told a one sided story about how awful her mother is.  

    That woman always looks like she is trying her best, and Candace is right that she looks extremely uncomfortable sharing these painful parts of her life on camera.  

    Mia's justification that her mother "wanted" to "share her story" sounds like something Mia told her to get her to agree.
