The way Andy has always fawned over Phadra and her sons makes me feel that firing her was the last thing he wanted to do and just because others wouldn't film with her wasn't enough reason for him to cut her.  It took Andy himself and production being accused of starting the lie to make the final decision to dump her. They did damage control. They fired Phadra and gave the Kandi the show to appease her and not let this go to court where it would be a he said she said between Phadra and Andy as to who started it. Ultimately they would both be painted with the same bad brush and neither would be believed in the end.

It really says a lot that it took Andy being accused to make him act. I believe if he had had his druthers he would have kept Phadra on the show and Kandi be damned. He would have loved to see the cat fight continue for another season or two. The only things Kandi had in her favor is that she doesn't need the show and she has enough money to go after Bravo and Phadra and have her day in court and drag them through the bad publicity mud puddle.

Andy fired Phadra only because she dragged him into it.

Exactly! When the reports fist came out that Phaedra claimed production told her I think everyone assumed she named King because there was/is bad blood between him/Kandi/Todd but we now know she was talking about Andy (per his own words). Way to tick off your boss and cut your own throat at the same time! LOL

Kandi has already had various spin-off and specials (some doing better than others), so the idea of her getting another one isn't that out of left field.

This! Yall are reaching.

Why after Kandi Factory (2 seasons IIRC), Ski Trip, and Wedding Special does it now mean that Bravo is doing some kind of bribery/damage control to give her an additional show? That makes zero sense at all. They've been paying her, her staff, and her family extra for years now.

I don't know about the spin-off, but I think Phaedra was only fired because she implicated Andy and production. During part 4 of the reunion, Andy displayed one of the most pathetic attempts to seem interested, caring, or compassionate that I've ever seen this side of Kathryn Dennis (Southern Charm) calling her former friend's distress about her child's encephalocele, which has a 50% survival rate and still carries a significant chance of disability and impairment, more manipulation. Andy's completely cold and oblivious "what do you mean?" to Kandi was profoundly disturbing. He couldn't even fake the tiniest bit of concern for Kandi. To that end, I don't think he can actually and authentically think or feel like a human. I've mentioned this in the episode thread. On an episode of Bitch Sesh, he was completely surprised that viewers hated seeing Vicki on season 11 of Real Housewives of Orange County. He thought fans would love to see her redemption, which might have been true if Vicki had been contrite and apologetic. She wasn't so she ended up making an angry season even angrier. And after another season of watching Vicki continue to be awful, he was surprised that we wouldn't want her back for season 12.

Phaedra would be exactly the same. She started this season brokering a truce with Kenya and ended it turning on Kenya again for no reason. When Phaedra was busted talking shit about Cynthia on the voice-mail, she couldn't even come up with a half assed apology. She started talking about the food, the weather, her clothes, and a mosquito bite. Everything, but the damn apology that she owed the woman. She's not quick on her feet. She nasty and unforgiving. She lies constantly in dumb ways that only make sense if you have no clue how the world works. This lie about hearing this rumor from Andy and production is more of the same. How many times has Andy been adamant that production didn't force anyone to do something they didn't want to do, for example Kelly Bensimon and scary island. He has also been really clear that he doesn't like manufactured or heavily produced plots, for example Jill Zarin's fall out with Bethenny. Neither Bravo nor Andy can afford to let Phaedra's allegations go unanswered. It undermines the veracity and viability of their shows. If it's all manipulated and scripted then there is no sense in watching one franchise over another nor is there any reason to get invested in storylines. At that point, the shows get remembered the same way people remember Laguna Beach, The Hills, and The City--entertaining and shallow, but really fake.

I think it's smart on his part. Husbands are not required to appear with their wives on the show. Cameran's husband, a doctor, never appears with her on Southern Charm. He's not obligated to appear.

Asa's long time boyfriend, Jermaine Jackson Jr., has appeared only a handful of times on Shahs of Sunset. I just looked. He's been on once. LaToya has been on twice. Mohamed Hadid has been on 3 times.

I am so pissed off that NeNe and her new Tamar Braxton-assed face is returning that I'm not going to watch next season.  Nah, I gotta be out.  Thanks Bravo for screwing up yet another franchise.

And anyway - is it just me or did NeNe swear she'd never return to RHOA no matter what, no how, no way.  (This was back in the "Glee"/Ryan Murphy days).  I thought she said that with absolute conviction.  I also don't want to see dumb as a bag of hair, plastic-altered, huge veneered rabbit lookin' teeth, waxed face that is Kim Zolciak.

Oh yeah, and wasn't Kim another dip shit that said there was no way in hell she would ever return to RHOA.  Eff both these back tracking bishes.  They must REALLY NEED THAT CHECK.

They both said they'd never come back. But neither of them can stop spending the money. I guess saving some of it never entered their minds. And, they have weak husbands who let them do whatever they want. Which will come back to bite them all in the ass. Kim has a gambling problem, I don't know what NeNe's issue is.

Wait... Weak husband's who let them do what they want? Should they husband be beating them to have better control over them? What the hell?

You're worried about their issues, I'm more worried about a woman, which I assume you are, who calls men who don't control their women weak.

I don't think that's what cooksdelight meant. It could have been phrased better, but I think the problems with Kim and NeNe is that there doesn't appear to be anyone in their lives that they will listen to about curbing their spending and saving more. That person could be Kroy and Gregg. It could be a parent. It could be a business manager or agent. But as Johnny Depp's current financial predicament demonstrates if a celebrity refuses to listen to their management, there is very little that can be done to stop them from spending like an idiot.

No, no, I didn't mean it like that! Thank you, @HunterHunted. :) Kroy and Gregg sit back and let their wives spend like crazy. Kroy goes with Kim to the casino (he carries a money bag around with him, like those bank bags) and she will go to the cashier repeatedly to get more money until they cut her off. I've seen it all with her. 

If Kroy and Greeg had a brain between them, they'd have set up trust funds for their kids and curtail the crazy spending.

Put that way, I get your meaning. No way would my husband just let me spend, spend, spend, especially and not pay our taxes. My apologies Cooks. 

 

I just imagined Greg dragging Nene by the wig... You know the one... Yes, that one... Down the hallway.. ??

It's official!! :). I am happy for her. And Bravo should be ashamed....it says she and her husband have been together for over a year, so that makes that whole mess with Matt a big fat lie. Shame on you, Bravo and your scripted crap!!

Sorry, not sorry but I think it more than possible that Kenya dated Matt for a storyline and started dating her now husband before she finally dumped Matt/the storyline. LOL I am happy she found the one though, no more fake storylines please Kenya!

I lurve Eva the Diva! However, it seems kinda random to just insert her into the show. We all saw how that worked out with Tootie. Apparently, her connection is with Nene. I guess they're importing a friend for Nene because she's fallen out with so many people on the show?

Isn't Nene coming back as a "Friend of"? So she would be a "Friend of a Friend of"? ;)

All kidding aside, are Nene and Kim coming back as full time HWs or just "Friends of"? If Phaedra is gone, that would free up some budget for them to come back as full time HWs. Not that I'd want to see that, but you never know with Andy and Bravo.

I don't know how much money Phaedra's ouster gives them because Nene is allegedly being paid $2 million.

I thought Nene still had a decent relationship with Cynthia. I've read that Cynthia might be out. I like Cynthia. I'd be fine with a demotion, but in the way that Beverly Hills lets Adrienne come on and launch a new product every once in a while. That would be my ideal for Cynthia. She's demoted to a friend of, but allowed to have a Bailey Agency/Cynthia Bailey Eyewear/Cargo event featured during the season.

Apparently, $1.3 million.

Granted, most sites seem to be quoting a radaronline article, so who really knows for sure...

Looks like Kim to me. 

 

I still don't like Kenya. I don't care if she's married or not. She's toxic. Come to think of it, I don't like anyone on the show. I'm glad that Nene's coming back.

That looks just like her to me too - same cupids bow lips and that disappearing cheek mole reappears in the exact same spot.   Considering we might be looking at different stages during a 5 year span, it seems pretty plausible. 

Not looking forward to Nene's return.  But, ratings.  I guess.

Lol!!! Girl which picture?  All o' them children have Kimberleigh Marie Zolciak's face.  Because if we believe picture #2 (from the top) is her, picture #1 has to be.  She has on the same my-mama-made-me-wear-this-dress and necklace.

She's got a good case for a lawsuit if this is true. Her contract is for HER, not her & a husband. They can't force him on the show. Georgia is a right-to-work state, and if they fire her for not having her husband on the show.... I just don't see it happening.

I don't want to watch the reunion again, but I seem to recall Kenya sitting on a couch after the Phaedra blow up spouting off how fake Phaedra was and how she did show her life on the show. But Kenya manages to get married under the radar while promoting the Matt relationship then wants to be the anti housewife on a housewife show. Typical Kenya mindset.

I don't think these famewhore appearances have much in common with working folks in Georgia.

But the Matt storyline was a production thing, not Kenya's idea. They want every woman paired off with a man, married or not. I don't blame her husband for wanting no part of this show. No, these people don't have anything in common with Georgia residents in everyday walks of life, but they are all SAG union employees.
