The only reason I though alcoholism was because as soon as she took a drink, her personality changed. Besides, there's no shame in being an alcoholic or having an mental illness. Correct. On the QM2 they have afternoon tea, but no one called it "high tea." 😠

I have never been able to understand why "happily married" people go on any Real Housewife show. I don't know if the show causes the relationships to explode, but so many of them do explode.

Well if Monique knows that her last child is her husband's....why the overkill? The wicked flee though no one pursues...

To me it was selfish. She had no consideration for her fellow crewmates. Captain Lee gave her a solution, tell the guests they won't be able to get everything on the sheet. But I think Rachel is a perfectionist so she felt the pressure, feared she could not deliver and ran away.

I'm glad you mentioned that because, I do remember reading that mustard gas was from WWI, and it was BAD and lethal. One of the reasons I think Rachel might be an alcoholic is because many alcoholics suffer from perfectionism. As in, "If I can't do it perfectly, I might as well leave." But they are on a yacht, not a cruise ship, and also they're in the Caribbean, where early on there weren't many infections. The problem with cruise ships is they carry too many people and that's how infections spread.

So it was fine that Monique told Gizelle that "you come here every reunion with a different man; you can't keep a man." Is that okay? I don't know but THAT is some vicious, evil shit. Any woman who says that is trash to me. But, I do agree that Gizelle needs some humility. Wendy was right, Gizelle has "pretty girl syndrome" (and I think Monique might have it too) and she doesn't have to try.

True. It could also be alcoholism, which can also be considered a mental illness.

Why? What good does that do you or anybody else? I thought most people knew that relationship was fake. I heard about it a year ago. I mean even Gizelle knew that shit was fake, that's why she couldn't say anything, she knew Monique was right. Monique has NOTHING I want, at least I didn't have to marry a baller to get out of "the hood."

Rachel seems to display a lot of the signs of alcoholism, including her personality change after a few drinks 🍷.

If Monique isn't careful, her fans might ruin things for her. If Robyn and Gizelle can no longer live Tweet the show because of Monique's fans...not a good look. Bravo could turn around and get rid of her if her fans become a problem.

Maybe it's because Tarik isn't into black women anymore. If Tarik wasn't on the show he would have dropped Hazel and gone with Minty, but he didn't want to look like an ass on TV. Natalie wants things to work with Mike because she's too long in the tooth to be on one of those Eastern European dating sites. Jovi's girl Yara, is trash, put her in her big suitcase and send her back by Fedex.

It is dangerous when you get on the other side of that sentiment. The truth is that unless something happens to Monique, she will lose Chris. He will either die or leave her. When I see women who lose their husbands either to death or divorce and feel they aren't anything without a man, THAT is sad. That is refreshing. And what does "keeping a man" even mean, really? I didn't think anything was funny about Monique saying, "if it were up to Chris, I'd be barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen...heheeee." She probably thinks that's love, poor thing.

I think that Monique's statement of "Gizelle can't keep a man" is nothing short of fucking dangerous. Her stans are already repeating that shit. Statements like that are dangerous because it supposes that a woman's only currency is how she can keep a man. That is one reason so many women get and stay in abusive relationships. "Well, he's a man and any man is better than no man." or "I can see the red flags, but all my friends are married and I don't want to be left out." The fact Monique's stans might be young women is fucking scary. That fact that in 2020 young women actually believe that nonsense is all kinds of messed up. I deal with women every day who are in/getting out of/healing from abusive relationships, a girl in my college neglected her health because her mother kept pushing her to find a man, neglected it so much that she eventually died from a brain tumor, so Monique needs to STUF forever with those vile comments.

Since Monique isn't a lazy mom, she could have worked at a food bank, or done something for other people, rather than compile a "receipt book" which is for no other purpose than to hurt others and gas up her stans to harass the other HW's. They're already harassing Gizelle on Instagram.

And that might just come out if Monique comes back next season. Wouldn't it be something if we find out that MRS Monique Samuels was the SIDE CHICK. She reminds me of women I went to college with, but that was over 40 years ago, so Monique has NO EXCUSE, this is 2020 sis.

No, because Gizelle didn't have a file on Monique. I also never said that Monique in particular did such a thing. But there is a pattern in the "school of hooking a baller" and part of it is making sure you have a child to get that support. If Monique had such a great life, loving husband, great kids, happy life, she wouldn't be wasting her time creating a folder to hurt others. I think all of the women, except maybe Robyn are miserable. It's not about securing the bag, it's about being happy with the bag when you get it, not always looking for another bag and then another and another.

I didn't get that either. To me, the most real thing said was said by Wendy. She said Gizelle has "pretty girl syndrome," that Gizelle doesn't have to work for anything. I think that is SOOOOO true. That's Gizelle's problem. When you're not beautiful, you have to find another way of making it in the world. Gizelle is shallow, but so are the rest of them. Also, Gizelle's not ashamed of turning 50 because she had a picture of her on her Instagram, in a bathing suit and the caption read: This is what 50 is supposed to look like. I'd like Karen to do something like that when she turns 60, but I doubt that will happen. I'll keep saying this, every post. I HATED when Monique said something to Gizelle about, "you can't keep a man." Because that is an old fashioned, misogynistic, low class belief. And MANY, MANY women have been shamed because of it. If Chris leaves you Mo, are you less of a woman? There are women who STAY in ABUSIVE relationships because of attitudes like the one Monique has. And even though Karen's perfume might be in Bloomingdales, the only folk who'll be buying it are Bravo viewers, not the UES crowd, she'd be better off selling it on Amazon. Gizelle could make a mint with a clothing line, I'm totally serious, she's all about glitz. All she has to do is make prom/pageant/sweet sixteen/ quinceañera dresses. The more sparkles/ruffles/glitter, the better. I think the reason Karen is smart is because of Ray 100%. As someone here stated, Ray is a man who has probably lived through Jim Crow. I'm sure he's said something to Karen like, "Don't let these folk make a fool out of you." When Karen questioned Gizelle about her fake relationship, she didn't go all ham like Monique. Nope, Karen will let all these others look the fool. So when the day comes when Bravo turns into a true crime network (a la Oxygen) the images of Monique fighting, Monique and her binder will be around forever. Monique goes to the PTA meeting; "Hey Monique, did you bring your binder?" After awhile it's not funny anymore. One more thing I want to say. The worst thing that has happened to the Housewives, and the reason it could come to an end, is social media. When Candiace said that Monique's followers were bullying her and threatening her. That isn't just harmless snark, that's fucking serious. Things in life are progressive. One of these days, someone's followers might do something in real life, to one of the women and if....when that happens, Bravo is going to have to make a serious decision.

If Monique comes back I won't be watching. That might be the straw that makes me get rid of cable and Bravo for good. Discovery has a new app, and I don't need cable for that. It will save me a lot of money. This shows how backward things are today in the world. Bullies are celebrated, and people who have been physically attacked are mocked because they're not "perfect victims." People love Monique because she "put Gizelle in her place." What does that even mean? It's not our job as humans to put anybody in "their place" because none of us are perfect.

In many 12 step programs, there is a comment about resentments, that they are the number one offender, that when you resent someone, they live rent free in your head. I believe this. I looked at Monique's face and saw something scary and sad. I saw hatred. She's so full of resentments that she took time to compile a book of "receipts" against the other women. To me that shows how much those women live in her head, just like the people who allegedly bullied her when she was a child. All of those people are dancing around in her head. If it were me, I wouldn't give a shit. Karen too. All they did was keep Gizelle's name in their mouths? When they were talking about Kamila Harris, and how proud they were that someone who's AKA will be Vice President, the camera panned to Monique's face and she was seething. What's with you sis? Why are you so angry? But Monique is low class because anybody who STILL shames women for "not being able to keep a man" is TRASH in my book. I thought Monique had it all, husband, homes, children. Why should she care about messy Gizelle. Why was she worth Monique's time and effort. Sad. People who do that, people who feel the need to "call someone out" especially for dumb shit like what goes on, on this show, prove to me they are insecure beings. I think the death of Karen's parents has made her a more hateful person. I'd believe that if Monique were single, but she has a husband and three children and a home and a business. She's got things to do....or maybe not. I guess she wants to show she's not a lazy mom! LOL

Receipt book = shaming and bullying. But that’s one of the things they teach at the Wendy Williams School for Young Ladies.

Who is Gizzard? Anybody who brings a receipt book to shame others is bully, sociopath and thug in an ugly cocktail dress. That’s Monique! The woman who graduated from the Wendy Williams School for Young Ladies, where you don’t learn anything except to hook a baller and make sure you have kids to get that child support $$$$. And Karen, I never saw your shit in Bloomingdales, and people really don’t flock to that store like they did in years past, remember Lord &Taylor went bye bye.

Monique is a sociopath who has been gassed up by the people who follow her on social media. Many of them are young , sadly black, women who look up to Monique because she “secured the bag” without having to go to college or work a job. So, Monique it’s okay to come after Jamal but no one can come for your fugly husband? Good to know. And people have been saying Gizelle’s relationship is fake for months. Monique is nothing but a psychopath and I am not here for bullying. Hey, didn’t Monique fake cry to the therapist that she was bullied as a child? Now I know why no one wanted to play with her!

Monique is trash. Any woman who talks about another woman “not being able to keep a man” is misogynistic in my book. Can’t wait to see how long it takes for big Chris to unload her, and it’ll be for a light skinned woman, since Monique doesn’t believe colorism exists.

Why would anybody send a text to Monique? Wonderful Monique, you are an aggressive bully. See what I did there you ugly bitch. Get this hood rat off the show NOW. And get her a drink cause the heifer is thirsty.

I can’t believe Monique sat there and basically said colorism isn’t an issue. What turnip truck dropped that bully? Now we’re going to see how aggressive Monique really is (see what I did there?) Karen, you’re closer to sixty than forty. No one is wearing perfume anymore honey, that shit stopped with Tabu. And Karen, you had all that work done on your face and they couldn’t take off that growth? It gets bigger every year. Karen is trying to tie Monique in the bully department. Gizelle why are you with cheater cheater pumpkin eater?
