It’s pretty obvious that’s what holds them together is the money. It’s why he can treat her the way he wants to, as well. This is like that old song, “When the Hunter Gets Captured by the Game.” You ever heard that? But now, it gets tricky, because Phaedra is a greedy old soul and as the Feds are breathing down her neck, I can see her wanting to get as much pleasure as she can out of the money. She’s not going to save it all for Apollo, and get nothing, not a chance! I think this is why she’s taking that trip, to get rid of some of the money. I remember reading an article way back when they went to Anguilla. One writer thought that was a way of stashing the money. I’ll have to see if I have that article, because I wasn’t paying Phaedra too much attention in the beginning.
But remember, for all of her “smarts” Phaedra is also not so smart. Even AS said that and I knew exactly what she meant. In fact, I don’t think Phaedra is smart at all, but lowdown people often appear to be smart based on the intricacies of their lies. They’re shrewd, but not smart, IMO. At the end of the day (he he) Phaedra thinks that her ability to con others is her greatest asset. While she may fear that Apollo might write a book, she also may roll the dice that she can beat him at his game. I wouldn’t put it past her.
And yes, Moms has the money.
The Marvelettes - The Hunter Gets Captured by the Game
Yep, when he talked about that house, neither one of them denied it, just acted like, “um hm.” That’s because they know he bought it and they know with what. And although it didn’t all come together immediately, I just thought Moms reaction was suspect. It just seemed too convenient that she only appeared in a speaking part on RHOA that late in the game. And everything was geared towards her daughter being a victim. Didn’t buy it, but now in lieu of all of this new information, I am certain that Moms is benefiting financially.
No, Moms passed on all of those opportunities to speak directly to Apollo. She didn’t want that loose cannon to expose her dirty behind. That’s what struck me too, Bobbi. No Black Mother would put up with a man talking disrespectfully to their daughter in front of them, no way, no how. And like you said, they won’t get in your business, and they’ll let you make your own mistakes, but none of that disrespect had better ever be in their presence.
That reminds me of when my older sister got divorced and she came back home. One night her ex-husband came to the house and tried to fuss with her. She told him to leave, and within minutes, all of us had come out of our rooms. My mother’s room was on the first floor and I was shocked at how quickly she had gotten there. He barely got a word out and my mother was at the door. She pushed my sister aside and grabbed him before he knew it. You should had seen him hightailing it out of there. I was on the stairs, my help not needed. I got so weak laughing at my mother. Um uh, mothers do not play that. Nobody hits their children. It’s not happening. That might be what struck me, although I hadn’t analyzed it at the time. But I do remember thinking, there’s no way my mother would let a man talk to me that way. I can’t even see it. That’s when I knew something was up with “Pastor Regina.” Outside of a mother’s need to protect her child, she didn’t even think to call her father? That’s not right. And I got a bad feeling on that alone.
I don’t remember that part, her going upstairs and leaving her mother. That doesn’t make sense. I would never leave him alone with my mother if I thought he was a psychopath. No, none of it fits, which is why any intelligent can’t help but question what they’re seeing. You’re right. None of the pieces fit.
They sure are the psychopaths. Speaking of gremlins someone on the board said that Phaedra looked like a Bratz doll. I hollered. But, anyway, yes, they are the psychopaths for sure. Phaedra has as much ability to love as a dang rock. That child is heartless.
Please, Mr. Chocolate is real. When his name came up it struck a chord. I didn’t remember when I’d heard it, but the name wasn’t new to me, so I believed it when he said it and Apollo was visibly upset. No doubt his anger sprang from him and her setting up this operation and Mr. Chocolate being the recipient of all the goods, while he was locked up. That anger and hurt was genuine.
Apollo wasn't crazy. He was angry though and with good reason. And the vernacular gave it away. That’s exactly how Phaedra talks. I knew it wasn’t about infidelity, because rumor has it that he and Phaedra trolled the strip clubs in Atlanta looking for partners all the time. They’re good for having private parties. Plus, the condom incident showed that she slept around and he didn’t seem bothered by that, he just wanted her to use condoms. Now, how would he know that she wasn’t using them? So, he had to know that she had multiple sex partners and that wasn’t a problem, because so did he.
Ha ha ha . I just said that above he knew he was in line to become AS II.
“he was livid because he realized that he was about to become another AS!!”
Yep, that marriage was a business arrangement and Phaedra had those kids for two reasons, 1. Her biological clock, and Moms had aborted the previous ones, this was her last ditch effort to bear children, and 2. Because she wanted light-skinned children with “good hair.”
After that scene. Apollo didn’t play according to script. He became very disrespectful after that. First, he outs her as sleeping around and then he shows that he doesn’t a care about her in all the scenes afterwards.
Wow! He said this?
“And he was making statements in interviews like "if she deviates from the plan"
I’m sure I read that she had a brother and it struck me as odd, because he’s never mentioned. If I recall correctly, her mother made a comment about her children, and I’m pretty sure she said the name David. I tried to check it out, but Phaedra’s bios on the web are very sketchy. I don’t know if I’ve even seen one that lists her mother and father. Very odd. I just realized, why is her mother’s name Bell and not Parks? There is too much deception with these two.
“says she met Phaedra in 1999 through her relationship with a musician named Drama and the two formed a close friendship. She claims after about a year Phaedra introduced her to Apollo and involved her in their insurance fraud scheme. “It was strictly a business relationship that the two of them had.”
Didn’t we call this out as a business relationship from jump? These are Angela’s words.
Is it really her dad? I can’t find any bio information on him either and her mother’s last name is Bell. Wow @ sorcery. That explains a lot. I have no memory of the dad at all.
That’s crazy about the wealthy Africans and their show of wealth. . I believed it just because I wanted to, LOL! But seriously, no one has names if it’s a lie. Another great catch about the package going to Kordell. I missed that too, and that verifies that Moms had no address. Wow!
I didn’t catch all the shade. It didn’t really occur to me that she would be so blatant. I didn’t hear the guy talking about the prenup, and while I heard the THOT comment, it wasn’t until the poster mentioned the sugar daddies that I put two and two together. You are so good. Da*n! I missed that too about the supposed affair. Girl, you got all the tea. She is very smart. Ridiculously, so.

“She comes off a little goofy in person.” You’ve met her? That sounds like me, until some people get to know me. People sometimes think I’m silly based on the fact that I love to laugh so much, but it comes from a place of downplaying myself. If I went hard people would be too intimidated, so I tend to act like I don’t take myself seriously. Remember I’ve had a lifetime of people and friends being envious. To act like I’m all that would just be putting another dagger in my back. I can see that in Kenya. Imagine if she took total ownership of all her gifts? They really wouldn’t be able to handle her.
Yep, she has branded the word, twirl, no doubt on purpose. Soon, it will be in the urban dictionary. Nene and Porsha, ugh.
No, I didn’t know about the commercial. I wonder who was behind that? But that’s kenya for you, always thinking. She would have had to show it to fill in ad time from a real sitcom, but it was very well put together.
Bravo did let her sitcom be a part of her storyline don’t you think? Looking for offices, meeting with Roger Bobb and using her pilot for the finale? Bravo was going to show her sitcom after the reunion but Janet messed it up with the filing against her. It was even listed on bravo’s website for months. But, with the court case pending, it couldn’t be aired. You know Kenya, she put it on Youtube as a pilot. Always thinking, that girl.
.You catch everything, SMDH. I’m not sure, but after reading your remark, I do get the impression that it’s one major outlet. She’s even getting positive reviews on many other outlets, other than RT. The tides are changing.
Truth: “Kenya will succeed no matter who tries to hold her back.”
