What I don't like is, this franchise has turned a corner and is now making an even bigger mockery of these black women. They set these women up to be ridiculed unnecessarily. Why would Carlos want that for the black women of his show? Why bring on women and portray them as kooky and weird? Are those the best tapes you had of Kim and Tammy and if so, why employ them? Drama is one thing but, why would you not portray even one girl as on this show as having her chit together? & Why wouldn't they want Kenya's launch to go well? Ok. So you create drama with the women AT the event but, why sabatage the F'kn event? This is the chiles life she's trying to get. Her livelihood. Why would you potentially ruin that for some laughs? I am really heated about this bullchit.
I looked at the premiere of RHOBH first time in a few years and it made me sick to see the difference. No wieird extras are waiting at any of their houses posing as friends of a castmember, waiting to ambush another cast mate. Nor do you see randoms showing up exposing their pasts back when they were come ups. Their scenes are not manipulated to make them look like fools. Even that F'd up Kim is treated with some decency, even though she has a serious and obvious addiction problem and has been arrested 2 times in one year. Why didn't they make it public that Kyle supports her monetarily? Why was none of that nasty chit we saw in the tabloids about Brandi ever caught on camera for the show? Are you telling me she only showed her @ss and got disgustingly drunk and falling over, needing to be held up to walk on her off nights? They showed her moving many times but, I don't recall ever seeing her being kicked out and we know she was. But we only know that because she disclosed that. There is a glaring difference and that is, their drama is authentic. There are no setups, boobytraps or unnecessary reveals for the sole purpose of taking away their dignity. Anything that is revealed the castmember has put out themselves or it is not brought up. Only on very rare occasions and certainly not to the scale we see on RHOA. They let Yolanda lie about her marriage - they NEVER went poking over there, even though everybody and their momma knew something was suspicious there.
Even if Atlanta has a compromised cast, with less resources, they don't have to manipulate their scenes to always make them look so unsophisticated and foolish.....even Zooming in when there is something out of place. This is why I don't like Kenya being a part of this show. None of these girls are respected. The entertainment is not in getting a peak at their lives but in watching them make buffoons of themselves and the cameramen shading them the rest of the time. There is no upside or way out for them or the viewers who root for them because, there will always be a trap door in every scene hoping and waiting for someone to step into it compliments of Bravo. Production will always throw a wrench in their plans just to create embarrassment for these women even where there is none. Last but not least they choose women who will allow them to perpetuate the ridiculous stereotypes. Why drag everyone down- even the good ones? I am really getting fed up with having my intelligence insulted and a mockery made out of every black women they film.
I'm not going to add anything at this point because I'll only get angry. What I will do is copy this post for reference and include it in my letter to sponsors. I've pretty much had it. What's even worse is dumb @ss fans cheering this chit on, not understanding the underlying motives.

EXCLUSIVE
Apollo Exposed! Stripper Claims Night Of Booze & Drugs With Nida
Will Phaedra Parks finally divorce him now?

One year after Phaedra Parks said she was divorcing Apollo Nida, The Real Housewives of Atlanta star still hasn’t filed. But RadarOnline.com has learned one Atlanta stripper has come forward with claims about Parks’s imprisoned husband that could be the last straw!
A self-described “
**** exotic dancer,” CashaunSidney, describes a raunchy night with Nida in 2014 — when he was still living with Parks — in her new book, Sordid Panties: Celebrities, Thots, Money & Scandal.
Sidney claims she met Nida, 37, through a mutual friend in “late 2014” at Atlanta strip club Follies, before he headed to prison to serve time on fraud charges.

“He drove up with his brother, Michael, and they escorted us and two other young ladies into the club,” she claims in the book. “We entered the bar and had a few drinks and Apollo asked us if we wanted to go to Lenox Mall, a popular mall in Atlanta that held some of the most high-end stores in the city. Of course we were game.”
“We went to the mall and later as we were sitting in Bloomingdales, Apollo asked us if we wanted to accompany him to a night club where he would be heading later to meet up with a few other celebrity friends of his. We obliged.”
“We went back to his home to get dressed …” she writes. “It was evident that his wife was not in town.”

Parks, now 44, was nowhere to be seen, but signs of her were everywhere, according to Sidney: family pictures and merchandise related to her Phine Body fitness program.
“Inside the house I started rolling the blunt of pot and just kept my mouth shut as I looked around the woman’s house in awe,” she writes. “I couldn’t believe in were in Phaedra’s house.”
An obliging host, “Apollo poured shots of tequila for us and we proceeded to the back of the house where we sat by the pool and smoked the pot.”

“After smoking pot, we went back into the house to prepare for our night out,” she says. “We walked up stairs and he escorted us into the baby’s room. Yes the baby’s room of all the rooms. He asked my friend if she wanted to take a shower in the baby’s bathroom and she said yes….” (Nida is dad to sons Ayden, 4, and Dylan, 2.)
Sidney left the room but Nida and the pal stayed there for a while, she claims. “Were they both in the baby’s room taking a shower?” She admits, “I don’t know.”
But the incident left an impression: “Apollo was more a thot if not equally thotie as my home girl,” she insists. (Per Urban Dictionary, “thot” is a synonym for “wh*re.”)

Parks announced she would be divorcing Nidaon December 22, 2014, not long after Sidney claims the incident took place.
He’s currently serving his eight-year prison term at Fort Dix in New Jersey.
Parks still hasn’t filed for divorce.
