Porsha found out she was demoted the same time we did because she was shocked on Twitter and Instagram, as was Nene. And then Andy told us while Porsha was on WWHL that the reason she was demoted was because the footballer player she was dating didn't want to be filmed and Andy said he wanted all parts of Porsha's life filmed, and since that couldn't happen she was demoted.

Porsha was demoted to a friend because she decided to hide some of her personal life from filming, similar to LuAnn on RHONY. She was still invited to vacations, events, even the reunion + interviews. Only thing changed is less screen time and no peach. But hopefully she'll return to next season like LuAnn did.

FunkyDinevo's thoughts on the NeNe vs. Claudia Showdown.
hmm...I think people are eating up Claudia is because someone actually stood up to NeNe. I see that Claudia is securing her contract renewal 
This comment sums up my feelings about the fight

My thing is, yes, Nene was gotten together. But I can't feel like Claudia did it because she was using recycled reads from twitter. Nothing she said was original, and that was the same I felt about Kenya. I think the art of reading is to be able to have the T and drop that bomb on that ass. Marlo talking about Sheree sleeping on blow up mattresses.... bomb. Kim saying Sheree returns everything to Neiman Marcus... bomb. Sheree saying Nene got repoed in Home Depot... bomb. I don't think Claudia brought anything new to the table. Her comebacks were good, but none of it was original, in my opinion. But lovely review, you were spot on as always.

It's kinda hard to drop tea on someone who has been on our television in our living rooms for seven seasons. We know pretty much all there is to know already. The beauty of it all was that Nene clearly thought no one would give it to her, which makes it even better. She knew her own damn tea and she STILL chose to go there. She didn't think the day would ever come when someone would use her old tea against her brand new ass.
|
Again, at this point all the tea (old tea) about NeNe is out, so you can't really bring anything to the table that is going to shock everyone. The only thing that was shocking was again, someone actually standing up to NeNe. I will say that I rather have someone say I have ****ed up hair than my bussy/**** has left my body. Like, great I'm not pretty/beautiful, but at least I'm not known as a *****/didn't smash every guy in town.
And it was funny when Claudia came for NeNe's achievements (New Normal getting cancelled, etc.). Like Claudia, have you seen your credentials lately? Especially when comparing NeNe's to yours.
And then she said this in an interview:
Quote:
|
I’m not innocent myself, and I’m sure if you dig enough, you’ll find some stuff of me. But, coming from NeNe… first she’s insulting my morals, calling me a *****, then you’re insulting my background. I’m just like, ‘Are you trying to destroy me on the show? What is your goal?'
|
But bitch you just tried to do the same thing to NeNe by bringing up her past as a stripper, being arrested, Gregg being her personal slave, trying to make her seem like an idiot by asking her to spell "bridesmaids," etc. Imma need you to not play this victim role and put on your big girl panties if you're going to dish out everything you're serving.
But again, good for you for standing up to NeNe that should hopefully bring her into a reality check. I wish Kim, Sheree, and Lisa were on RHOA instead of Claudia, Kenya, and Demetria.
In conclusion, everyone needs to get their **** together, every single one of them. This is the result of nobody having a damn storyline and the only thing there is to do is talk **** about everybody and start fights. Andy get these girls together cause this is just going to turn into a Bad Girls Club: 40+ Edition.

Heres my take.
Nene's "reads" were that of a 16 year old girl that had nothing real to say but you are a loose woman but with nothing but rumors as evidence. Claudia filed bankruptcy due to real estate and the market crash but she bounced back. Nene was caught off guard that she was read and resorted to foul mouth talking about vajayjay.
Claudia's reads were on point.
Nene when backedi n a corner is quick to read off her resume for which the titles are respectable but the meat is spam.
WE JUST WITNESSED Nene order drinks and her puppets order the same thing...Nene then projects her puppeteering onto another person. The same thing when she and company were talking about the girls in the other car heading to the vineyard. ONe of the first things she said was i know ya'll was talking about us...because she's projecting what SHE does.
So, nene makes catty remarks about Kenya and Claudia and Claudia does the right thing but with those immature girls they don't take it seriously.
Nene brings up her money (despite IRS issues and rumors that all that glitter isn't gold) and her "job" after shading Claudia about her Rickey Smiley show which shades Porsha too but we all see Nene has no problem shading her lapdog.
Claudia READ Nene by reminding her that the shows she brags about were cancelled.
Real tea - She was on Glee after it peaked and they wanted that RHOA built in audience. Not going there with the new normal. It was bad. Not going there with Kris Jenner talk show that lasted 6 weeks. I need not say more.
Then Nene tries to count people's money bringing up Claudia's past bankruptcy due to real estate. Claudia has no problem talking about working hard without sliding down a pole and reading her for the low rent strip club she went to.
Claudia read nene about that barbie colored wig she rocks and for beign a rich btch to wear such a cheap wig
Claudia drags her about her age and looking older despite being in the same age range. THis is ONE where i disagree with Claudia. its clear Nene isn't attractive and its clear Claudia looks way younger than her age but Nene does look the best that NENE can look and looks late 30s/early 40s...but claudia looks early 30s so...
The edges was a soft spot to bring Nene back down to earth because she is a HUSTLER and monkey bars her way from job to job but there not A-list jobs for her A-list ego. Replacing a drag queen and doing an evil character is good but she's not exactly up for a Tony award and there are stars that have landed Broadway roles and are not talented actors themselves. At one point, 90s/00s Broadway was looked at as what actors do when roles dry up and yet this is Nene's best or top 2 in accomplishments.
I feel as though Nene had a point with coming for the "queen" and had she called about Claudia for trying to do it to upgrade from Kenya's friend to actual housewife she could have clocked Claudia the right way and it would have been a tie.
The fact that Nene resorted to foolery and nonsense that a high school girl would spout out when in a girlfight proves that she wasn't ready and had to go the cheap and easy route and still lost.

Even though I enjoyed Claudia's read but I kinda agree with Nene's statement "The thirst is real", it's sad how this show is turning to a platform for any woman looking for a career boost (Claudia, Demetria, Kenya...) Most of the drama comes off as really "forced", I miss the old days of Sheree/Kim/Nene when you could tell those three couldn't stand each other.
They should either fire all the housewives (and bring a new group of "frenemies" that have known each other for years) or bring back Sheree and Kim.

Exactly that's the problem, the drama is forced because at this point it's a bunch a random girls with no storyline nor no history together (Bad Girl's Club).

yeah the read on looks was basic and the hair drags were on point. I didn't like that she called Gregg her slave, cause that's more of an insult to Gregg rather than NeNe, and Gregg didn't do anything to Claudia and wasn't there to defend himself.

The thirst is reall for most of the housewives you have some that had no career and made housewives into a career and those that used housewives to revive their career.
I think Kandi Kenya Phaedra and Claudia should remain.

I think it was more of a dig to say that if Nene thinks Claudia wants what she has Claudia probably wants an attractive man that can take care of himself and have a backbone and not be looked at as a minion.
There's a difference between being an assistant and a husband/wife that works as a team.

I'm really starting to resent Nene. I used to like her the best, but god damn, what's her problem? She goes for lunch with Kenya and Cynthia to sort things out, and then like a day after it's like she's changed her mind? She's so two-faced, it actually hurts. Claudia dragging Nene though

Y'all talking about Claudia reading but they were all over twitter two seasons ago. Claudia did her study on the show and watched it faithfully. I'm #TeamBeasts. #TeamPretty or whatever just wants career boosts. Annoying

Wait a minute, why is Nene reading now that Claudia is away.
Why is Nene talking about Claudia's bob when it's her hair and she's rocking dried romen noodles?
Claudia reading Porsha for her alligator grin...
I can't

Claudia is so transparent. The only reason she is cool with Kenya Demetria and Cynthia is because they have nothing going on and she can feel better than them. The people that are younger or are having more success or more going on or have kids or men in their lives, she's against. She's besties with Kenya be cause although she might have HAD a career in TV and production, the last thing she's produced or acted in has been a workout video.
Claudia will do anything in order to drag someone else down, like when she seeminglu came for Tiny for no reason on Radio. Listen to her talk about everything bad she can think of about Tiny, even her skin color. 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IcmEIKHctAk
The fact that she could ever think to refer to herself as classy is laughable, she's so far from that and you can see it in all of her actions. She clearly has issues with where she is in life, and definitely has issues with her skin. I would say I'm as disappointed in her, but how could I be disappointed over someone who I had no expectations of? She's just disgustingly messy, but I guess that's to be expected when you've slept your way through Hollywood and aborted innocent children

The fact that Nene starting getting past the low brow female part reads AFTER claudia left
The fact that she's trying to call Kenya the pretty team's boss when Phaedra and Porsha literally order the same drink she did and participated in the high school back and forth laughing and giggling.
Nene PROJECTS way too much.
Claudia got her on that hat hair or whatever she said.
Nene's outfit looked amess and there's nothing wrong with a spaghetti strap
I agree nene could step away from a spaghetti bowl or two....
I'm glad they are showing why Nene and Phaedra increasingly become unlikable each season.
That said, I'm liking porsha more for some reason.

You will do anything to discredit someone that doesn't kiss Nene's behind.
She was on the show with Jamie foxx and that's what they did...tell jokes and gossip.
She hasn't shown messy behavior to stir the pot.
She wasn't messy with Porsha when she tried to talk with her.
You don't know the relationship between Claudia and Kenya pre housewives.
Girl gon' with your theories and try hard tactics to "shed" light on what she does on the radio.
