I cannot stand goofy ass Drew but I am completely on her side.

Fuck off, Ralph!

[Axie]

I don’t care what anyone feels about Drew, having this tiny* turd Ralph on, is despicable on Bravo’s part.  Ralph is not a Housewife and to give him this platform is ridiculous. 
 

*I read that Ralph is only 5’6.  So, although he’s a humongous turd in a lot of ways, he’s tiny in other ways.

Drew, leave that “man” in the weeds.

Hopefully no other woman will want to get with that piece of filth that is Ralph.

I find it disgusting but not surprising but disappointed that Bravo decided to have Ralph come on the reunion.Satan Andy loves all this abusive misogyny. Seriously Bravo, you can create a actually create a successful RH show that is great with petty drama and at the same time promote health relationships and empower women to leave toxic relationships without defending the toxicity. 
I escaped (luckily alive) from an abusive marriage/relationship in 1991 before the Internet and now the broad public’s understanding what an abusive relationship looks like.

Here I am in 2023 and Bravo is reveling in this horrible situation and the women taking sides. I don’t like Drew, but I see only one side her and those who defend Ralph should examine the health of their on relationships 

[mbaywife123]

I was in a relationship for 16 years with a man who didn’t physically cheat but was emotionally cruel. He was rich (with my help that he never would have acknowledged).

Drew, please shut the door and walk on whithout Ralph 🤮, you don’t need him. Strike out and build a life all your own.

Don’t look for love, it will find you when it is time.

Mr. mbay and I will celebrate our 23rd anniversary this year and he is the man of my dreams!

[Axie]

I was impressed with Kenya tonight.  It’s about time someone stood up the Ralph.  She sees right through him.  I guess years ago when we used to call vomit “Ralph” we were on to something.  More insightful than we realized.

I was also happy with Kenya, it was the first time in a looong time.

She was putting out the entire dimished/ empowered woman vibe and not the Me,Me, Me vibe.

I just celebrated my 28th wedding anniversary with my wonderful husband.

My ex was physically, emotionally and sexually abusive and a huge gaslighter. 
For Bravo to display this whole thing on TV is so wrong, Ralph should not have been allowed anywhere near the cameras nor should this have been segment on the reunion show, unless they aired resources for help. 
 

I don’t expect much from my real housewives shows but they should at a minimum be United against an abusive asshole.

I am disgusted.

1000% agree!

The Pass is on Bravo for free right now!

[swankie]

Ralph is low and "cousin" Courtney is right down there with him.  I'm hoping next season she will be gone gone gone!  That thing she said about Drew wanting Ralph to adopt her son was beyond classless.  She adds nothing to the show and her voice is like fingernails on a chalkboard to me.  

[Chatty Cake]

What a waste of a reunion. To give Ralph all that time on stage with the ladies was ridiculous. It’s one thing when they bring all the husbands out but  this season was so bad they didn’t bother. They should have ended it at one hour.

[Baltimore Betty]

I think we have all found something worse than the HW's reunion dresses, it was Drew's song.

Ralph worked on his schtick prior to being on camera, he sent his minion in first to set the stage, thinking he would garner pity from the audience is nuts.

If Drew had kissed a man would the other HW's weaponize it like the are weaponizing her alleged affair with a woman, that is one thing I do not understand about those women, their abject disgust about lesbians is archaic and it comes off as homophobic, it has always been this way but they seem to embrace gay men, it is odd to me.

I hope Drew gets really good representation for her divorce, Ralph needs his ass handed to him.

Shame on Andy for having Ralph front and center.  Where were all the other men?

Kandi is unrelenting about Drew and the kiss, not sure why it matters to her she will still have plenty of money and jobs after the reunion, just let it go, it has no bearing on her life.

Sheree just sealed the deal on her being on next season, the Sheree Bulletin needs to be published on social media, I'd love to see it.

But OMG, that song was so bad, I cannot stop laughing about it. 

[TexasGal]

I had to change the channel during Drew's song.  So cringey.

[bosawks]

Kandi needs to calm down about Drew it's not like anyone believes anything Drew says anyway.

Unless it is dogging Ralph, then I believe every word.

[luckyroll3]

Andy during Drew's performance:

So glad that Kenya spoke up cause I wasn't sure how all those women could sit there and listen to Ralph's bullshit as he tried to manipulate the conversation and continue to gaslight not just Drew, but all of us, as if he wasn't doing a lot of this on camera. I can't stand Drew, but if I was there, I would have kicked him in the balls. 

The way he set it up so that Andy would ask him if he was unfaithful, dodged the question with some nonsensical answer, then waited for Andy to ask Drew the same question so he group throw Ty in her face? Expert level manipulation. Same with his, "I've never been ALL around the world, so it can't be true."

Me: What about in Tampa, bitch?!?! We all know you've been there!

Textbook gaslighting! What a turd.

I think that Kandi sees kissing women as 1) not a big deal; 2) certainly not a big enough deal for you to lie about; and 3) not a big enough deal for you to call her a liar over. What I do think is missed is that Drew was raised up in church, her mother is a pastor, and they seem like they are more conservative in their religious beliefs. I'm sure that she doesn't want to get any of the church lady smoke from her mother's congregation or put her mom in an awkward position, which is why she's been hemming and hawing and lying about it overall. What is the most tragic part about this, is Drew doesn't seem to understand that if she was matter of fact about it, everyone else would be as well.

[Axie]

Andy’s reaction to Drew singing to Ralph was absurd considering he could have prevented Ralph even being there but instead set Drew up to be as uncomfortable as possible.  You’re a pig, Andy Cohen.

[ZaldamoWilder]

Kandi was hella hostile this reunion.  A ton of cursing, more goof-ass facial expressions than usual.  She was in a mood from jump though.  In those little pre show snippets, she said "who chose these rooms?"  Girl how long is you finna be in a dressing room that you already complaining.  One of my besties whom I've known for 20 years gets fuckin mean outta nowhere.  For some stupid ass reason she doesn't remember to bring a ziploc baggie of snacks.  So I do it.  It's not rocket science if you or your crew are a walking snickers commercial, somebody needs to be in charge of snacks.  Damn.

I probably won't ever go as far as to say I like Kenya.  However, at several points, I found her shockingly reasonable here.    Even though she countered, she didn't keep pressing the point when Sanya said she didn't call her when she lost the baby.  I didn't know I was holding my breath right then until she let Sanya get the last word.   Then when Ralph came out, she lowkey convinced Drew to engage with maturity and civility.  That was nice.  Finally when she found herself alone out there with Ralph and she tried in vain to get him to see that he is, in fact, a piece o' shit, she conveyed one fraction of Drew's objection which, he thankfully did not have a response to.   She was calm and rational and.....normal.  I'm scared.   Am I the only one who thought she had fenty highlighter in her right ear?  p.s. Ken, no to whatever was happening with your bosom.  The double and triple letter community are here to tell you there's no under a mountain, love.  There's a peak and there's the fuckin bottom lol!  

Drew needs a whoopin for several reasons.  Not the least of which happened off camera.  Ya'll if my fictional husband told me he's had his dick sucked all over the world, I'mma call whoever Ivana Trump's lawyer was before that fool is done talking his shit.  ON camera, he left without letting you know where he was going, stayed his ass gone for 50 hours, came back and didn't say shit except how was your weekend?  Bay-bey.  Ralph, meet my boyfriend, Carl.  Carl, this is my husband Ralph.  We gone heaux together or we gone be faithful together, oh but we matches energy up in here.  And since we keeping it all the way greazy, why, yes, I do believe in unlawful evictions.  You'll find your things inside the uhaul at the end of the block.  No need to return the keys, they're N/A.

Did Courtney say her father's sister was married to Ralph's Uncle?  K.  ya'll still need name tags at the family reunion.  {{airkarate}} girl, if you don't gitcho goofy ass on.

Marc and his bitch ass Motions.  Meh.  The description of that is the Kenya I know.  I'd think the court has a higher standard of the child's well being than a castmate kicking a hotel room door.  But, whatever. 

Sheree and Kandi and this newsletter tickled.  I agreed with Kandi, I think Sheree had some help with reads, she was doing ok......until the resale discussion and Kandi was like the difference is I'm not a "designer" claiming to make and sell original products.  D'oh!  Atlantuh?  Ya'll really paying 10x the markup for that same slinkass reynolds wrap jumpsuit I got balled up in my closet? Tuh! 

The way I was hoping Courtney was gonna close the door on Drew's sister so her namaste was gone snap in half?  I said, shut it, shut it, Courtney close the door, I wanna see a dragging.   I might just have to admit that I miss Porsha.

I hope all the vendors Sheree owes cash to, watched this and ran to small claims.

I KNOW!!!! Drew's sister is the living breathing embodiment of "Just 'cause I don't, doesn't mean I can't". That woman grew up in Chicago! She isn't taking any shorts from a former model, turned groupie, turned single baby's mama who looks like she weighs 150 with 140lbs head!

When Courtney called Drew's sister a bitch and she did that about face and walked right back into the room, I thought it was over. And Courtney was standing there tee-heeing. I was like, "you about to get your head knocked off!"

[Lois Sandborne]

At this point, just give me The Allison Project. I don't need any of the rest of this.

[ZettaK]

What is so special about Ralph to warranty a solo appearance at the reunion? We normally see all the husbands/partners. But of course it was a chance to have more "revelations" about Drew, fighting, etc. Ralph mastered the manipulation and gaslighting game. 

I'm glad Kenya is going to adopt, and won't have another kid by Marc. 

Courtney fought hard (and dirty) to become a HW next season. 

Bravo stylists: please show some compassion to the women.

Best decision she's made yet. I don't care what the papers say that Marc signed, but I know deep down in my soul that he would have used that second kid against her.

Sheree getting the "personal texts" against Drew is still perplexing. Part of me thinks it was Ralph, but the other part of me thinks it's from the assistant. But all of me know that it didn't just show up on Sheree's front porch...She definitely went looking for something to hold over Drew. 

[Ms.Lulu]

I thought Bravo was suggesting that Ralph and Courtney were in a 'romantic' relationship. There was a party early on, when Ralph was introducing his 'cousin' and as they headed out the door, they started holding hands.

At that time I thought Bravo was just saying look at the dawg. Now I think they were doing Drew a solid, catching the relationship on film for the courts.

Do I think Drew tapped out after years of abuse? Maybe, but I don't care. I hope she has a good lawyer.

Kenya’s divorce is not final, so any agreement about the embryos might become void. Marc keeps suing Kenya, even about issues regarding the show. I don't think because he cares so much about his daughter, since he doesn't see her that often, it's out of spite. He doesn't sign the divorce documents for a long time. I don't doubt he would use another baby against Kenya, if he ever let her have the embryos. I don't think it's a coincidence Kenya wants to adopt instead of having a surrogate carrying her own embryos.

Courtney is acting a little bit more like a romantic interest than a relative. She just met Ralph, and they are distant relatives.

[Baltimore Betty]

I do not think Kenya is really going to adopt a baby...I would bet she would adopt another dog.

What is in it for Marc to not sign the divorce papers? I mean why prolong it if he is so miserable?  Is it just to make Kenya nuts and not allow her to move on? Surely there is a legal maneuver that can speed things up for Kenya?

I agree.

Kenya has said that Marc is holding up the divorce because Kenya refused to have Brooklyn appear on Marc's reality show. He is pissed and trying to get back at her. Hence him bringing up Marlo banging on the door in Birmingham.  He is trying to paint her as unfit so he gains more control regarding custody. Not that he actually wants to see Brooklyn but wants more control in decision making. Specifically decisions that benefit him.

I did not know he had a reality show, what's that about?

I would hope any judge would look at the footage of Marlo kicking the hotel room door and see it was not putting the child in danger and not be happy that Marc brought a frivolous lawsuit to court.

Also, Marlo sucks.

I'm working my way through healing after almost 10 years of being with someone like this, and I literally started crying during the Ralph segment - it was just like my life.  Yeah, Drew kinda sucks, but do you know what happens when you stand next to someone toxic for years?  You get a little toxic yourself.  It's like if you got an STD from your husband cheating - it might not be your fault, but your shit's all fucked up and you gotta get it treated.  Drew needs help, and maybe she's a shitty person also, but maybe she's just a woman who lowered her standards for a man she loved and became someone she doesn't like much either.  I get it.  Too well.

And standing ovation to Kenya for actually speaking up, and it one of the reasons deep down I actually like her.  I think that moment was very real for her, just like it was for me, and she spoke up calmly, and on point, but she told Ralph what an asshole he was, and quietly supported Drew through the whole thing.  No one deserves to be treated like that by a man who has promised to love her.  Drew doesn't deserve it, Kenya doesn't deserve it, I don't deserve, it and neither do any of the wonderful women on this board.

Fuck Ralph so fucking hard, and fuck his stupid "cousin" too.  I hope she sees how fucking stupid looks carrying that piece of shit's water.  I hope I never see either of those two again.

I finally finished watching this and agree wholeheartedly with poster that said Bravo letting Ralph abuse Drew all over again on TV.  I do not think Drew is that good of an actress to pull off that performance.  What I saw was a very distraught and hurt Drew. Ralph was, well Ralph.  Love his hurt look while Drew sang the breakup song.

Love Kenya.  She has her moments, but I think she really changed since she became a mother.  And I think she is a good mom, from all appearances.  Her talking to Ralph in a calm voice and calling him on his shit was priceless.  It made up for having to watch Ralph gaslight Drew on National TV.

It's still a bit of a mystery. Kenya isn't abreast of the details.  Not sure if the show is just about Marc or he is part of an ensemble cast. He needs Brooklyn for storyline purposes.

Except for Kandi.  She has openly admitted to having sex with a woman/women.  Why she felt the need to throw it out there that Drew kissed a woman is beyond me.

Ralph and Courtney are cousins by marriage.  No blood relation whatsoever.  The only thing they share in common is their nasty dispositions and famewhorishness!
