CAMELOT FANTASIES

Some stuff I meant to post a while ago and forgot. Kenya knows how to shade so eloquently. I've been having so much trouble posting this past week.

Kenya: "I Will Always Be a Queen"

Kenya Moore dishes on the truce with Phaedra Parks and the non apology from Porsha Williams.

CLOSURE

The reunion represents closure on all levels. I believe most women need closure. Reunions are tough because you live through filming, then through seeing it on TV, and then again during the reunion. You can feel you have moved on from something difficult and then you have to discuss it and rehash it. I felt good about this reunion, because I have grown so much. I am stronger now and nothing or anyone can destroy me.

Speaking of opening old wounds, I was respectful toward Phaedra during the conversation, but it’s clear that after our truce, she still wants to call me a **** and liken me to other “**** in the bible.” God doesn’t like ugly. Maybe sitting alone on the sofa now is confirmation.

THE NON APOLOGY

There was a part of me that was hopeful about getting an apology for being physically attacked at the last reunion, since that would mean the past was behind us. You have to own what you do wrong in life. Children are taught that you don’t hit anyone first or at all. Whether provoked or not, isolated incident or not, physically attacking someone is legally and morally incomprehensible. As such, doing the right thing should be easy. But this is the same person whose grandfather was a greatly respected civil rights activist who fought for non-violence, yet thinks the Underground Railroad was an actual train that took people to freedom.

In typical fashion, Phaedra attacks my character in a preplanned soliloquy. But in her own words, her “THOT” friend thinks that spreading your legs wide open and accepting gifts from married men is admirable. Yet, it’s basically teaching young girls that having a square card reader between your butt cheeks is how one becomes “blessed” and “successful.” That’s why I will always be a Queen, literally and figuratively, because when I am wrong, I can apologize, forgive, and move forward. I can love, though I have not always been loved, and I can be talented and successful on my own merit without needing men to finance my lifestyle, and I can be the bigger person when others try to bring me down.

SINGLE VS MARRIED

Some viewers ask why there are single women on a show about Housewives. It’s simple -- every Real Housewife franchise has single women, from Beverly Hills to OC to NY to Atlanta. With that said, there are only two Housewives on RHOA that are currently not married, Claudia and myself. In fact, approximately 43 percent of all Black women have never been married. My journey is not unlike the many Black single women who watch our show. Nearly half of Black women want to be married and find true love but are not willing to settle or can’t find the right man. NeNe and her puppet would like everyone to think it’s better to be in a horrible marriage rather than be single.

Having said that, I have never received so much love from the viewers as when I was featured on The Millionaire Matchmaker. It made me realize is that I am no different from all the single women around the world looking for real love. My journey is their journey, and ultimately they want me to fall in love with them rooting me on. It happened for Kandi, Kim, Bethenny, Tamra, etc. and it will happen for me too with all of you by my side. Therefore, having single women as Housewives is good for the show. Everyone deserves a chance to be happy. And we can inspire and give hope to those looking for love.

Rumor has it that someone said single women should be fired from RHOA. As such, we wouldn’t have witnessed the beautiful rekindling of NeNe and Gregg's love or her wedding special. Therefore, those people clearly didn't create the successful model for this show. If it's a play to get me fired... Try again. #CatchThatShade

Love Kenya,

Porsha Is Bragging About Getting Her Peach Back But Did She

June 12, 2015 · 8:25 am

http://tamaratattles.com/2015/06/12/exclusive-porsha-williams-is-bragging-about-getting-her-peach-back-but-did-she/#more-16291

Exclusive Tamaratattles Tea:  Please quote and link professionally! Do you want Syphillis? No. No. You. Do. Not.

Word on the curb is Porsha was bragging about getting a “late” letter saying she has her peach back last night. I think she is lying. I’ve gotten a few emails saying that Porsha swears she has a peach. This is NOT what my sources are saying. I mean some of  my sources say she is bragging about having her peach, but this is NOT what I am hearing from THE SOURCE.
Maybe she is getting her information from the underground railroad? Somebody is WRONG. It’s either me or Porsha. I think she is lying. AGAIN. But I thought you would want to know what Porsha is saying.

Seriously doubt she has a peach. UNLESS Nene called her off the bench AGAIN to be her FOH because Nene literally has no one to film with without her. So was there a late in the game appeal by Nene for a “minion?” Or nah. It could happen. It matters how threatened Nene is. As of now she has NO ONE to film with. Is she desperate enough to ask for Porsha? Maybe. Especially if she found out about Kim Fields (Nene is glued to this site). But a peach? No **** way.

My feeling is that production KNEW Nene was flapping in the wind when they sent the letters they sent. Maybe she told Porsha she would get her a contract. But ….My sources are not awake yet and I am not even going to ask about this for now. I think production knew they were leaving Nene to either get along with the new girls or flap in the wind.

Most likely Porsha is trying to save face. Last night when she was saying all this, Cynthia and Claudia were filming David Tutera’s Celebration show for Noelle’s Sweet Sixteen.  Oh yeah that happened. I really have been lazy. Sorry. Big event. Check Instagram. I hate these sorts of things. It makes for entitled brats.

ANYWAY, I think Porsha was just jealous about Team Pretty on CELEBrations.  But I heard the rumor, so I thought I would share.

Yes@ children. My entire family loves children. It has always been the center of our existence.  Whenever a kid is around, we all want a piece of 'em lol.  Even the boys love children.  nephews included.

My mom would love you too GetReal.

So true @ those visiting evangelist. All they know is what the spirit of God tells them.

Your sister!  Funny as heck.  Sounds like my fam.   Don't get me to laughing in church. The worse is when you can't stop and people can see you.
 I can't wait till we get together Girl, I have the funniest church stories about our folks. Hahaha.

I've had my best times in church. All around.

Loner. That really describes me in a nutshell.

My career demands that I be social. I I have to say I do love social activities though,  like going out for drinks and great conversation.   
It's a New York thing I guess. Lol   But, I only enjoy it with people I can kick it with.    Too bad you don't live in the NYC.

I have to read  that book too now, Ecclesiastes.  I'm interested.  Overall, The Bible has some of the best lessons of Love, war,  betrayal, friendship, commitment - Everything doesn't it? 

Yeah @ Andy. Yuck is right.

Interesting news @ Melissa Rivers. I wondered why she didn't decide to do it herself. Interesting though that they will use guest now instead of the remaining team.

What?! What is this?!!!  Nooooo.
Ahhhhh, tell me this is NOT true @ Porsha.
 
Side bar: Porsha WAS joking with Andy on twitter yesterday or day before about something nebulous. There was no tweet attached to it - I searched.  I thought it was odd that she was a bit chipper but, thought she might just be kissing up after the other girls received their letters.

Ok.  Might not mean anything but   going back to look for that tweet. That sucks if true.

I adore children. Always have. My mother used to say that I loved children and old folks, and I did. When I was a teenager I had a good friend, but my best friend was my neighbor who had six children and taught me a lot about life, things that my mother would never tell me, LOL. My friends were confused, “Why do you hang around that old woman?” and I would say, “Because she can teach me things that you can’t.” and I was right, because I didn’t make a lot of teenaged mistakes that they did because I would run things past her. She loved me because I would babysit for free. #Used#Didn’tBotherMe.

Why is it that things are so funny in church? My older sister and I went to church together for ten years and we also had a blast. One time we were laughing so hard I swear the Pastor kept looking at us during the sermon. We were so convicted that we thought we were going to get thrown out.

That loner thing is so funny. My friend and I laugh about that all the time. We’re social loners, which is an oxymoron. But, like you, If I’m going to be out somewhere it doesn’t make sense not to make the best of it. get me out and you’d think I was very social, but that’s because I love to talk. Or, if I go to a party, I love to dance, but once I’m back at home, I’m in my element; surfing the net, playing games, journaling, and things like that.

You and NY, it seems like too much hustle and bustle for me. When I see it on TV I get tired at all the activity. Who knows? I might love it. I’ve been wrong before.

You must read Ecclesiastes. I think you’ll love it. It’s for people like us who aren’t swayed by social norms but have our own ideas about the meaning of life. Yes, the Bible has everything, that’s why it’s the number one book in the world.
Andy is really getting away with it, Isn’t he? And people love him his shady behind.

Melissa was the producer which is probably why she didn’t do it in the first place, but I like her idea of having revolving guest hosts. Smart move.

I sure hope it’s not true about Porsha. I posted my thoughts on it with an article attached. Go to the link and look at Porsha. She is looking more and more like a tranny. When she first came on the show I thought she was cute, but as time wore on she began to look uglier and uglier. Now, she looks downright disgusting with her angular face. She is not a natural beauty. She has to be caught at the right angles. Anyway, now she is kind of ugly, or let’s say she really needs the glam.

Vivica WWHL Booking Upsets RHOA Kenya Fans

Kenya Foe Offered RHOA Role Next Season

Vivica A Fox WWHL Booking Upsets RHOA, Kenya Moore Fans
LOS ANGELES (LALATE EXCLUSIVE) – Vivica A Fox’s booking for WWHL with Andy Cohen is upsetting RHOA viewers and Kenya Moore fans. Vivica A Fox’s appearance in Independence Day 2 will be not be seen until June 2016. Her role in Hollywood Divas Season 2 has been cancelled. But her continued attempt to come for Kenya Moore on Twitter is alive and kicking. And now, many fans are wondering if WWHL is set to use Fox as a way to churn shade at Moore and the Millionaire Matchmaker matter, even after most RHOA fans have said it is time to move on.

Vivica A Fox is set to set it down and talk with Andy Cohen. But many fans are already getting out of the seats in concern that Cohen dare ask Fox to comment about Kenya Moore and Millionaire Matchmaker. It remains unclear when, or why, Fox was booked for WWHL.

Vivica A Fox’s obsession with talking about Kenya Moore nearly a year after she filmed with her on Celebrity Apprentice has baffled many. But days ago, LALATE reported that Fox’s Twitter feed was filled with her supporters telling her that her comments against Moore about the Matchmaker matter were below the belt, and clearly did not concern her.
This week, Fox is set to appear on WWHL. And many are wondering if some, if not most, of the telecast is set to have Cohen asking Fox questions about Moore, giving Fox a platform to continue to hurl allegations about a situation she knows nothing about. In 2014, LALATE exclusively reported that Vivica A Fox’s phone was not stolen, but went missing, on Celebrity Apprentice. To this day, Fox is still talking about that phone.

WWHL producers have previously gotten side-eye from viewers after shady appearances. The RHOA 2014-15 season started with producers booking opposite Kenya an anti-Kenya guest-star, Sherri Shepherd. The show barely got to commercial break before Moore tweeting joking to fans if Shepherd was already coming for her. Then Moore during the WWHL taping tweeted “The View is over! Move on LOL” adding “So rude and so n–.”

Fox was set to appear in Carlos King’s Hollywood Divas Season 2. But Fox has confirmed that she and King, Moore’s EP on RHOA, could make the deal. For now, Fox has been promoting her wig line.

Vivica’s appearance on WWHL didn’t rise because of her appearance

Have a nice weekend.There is good news @KenyaMoore WWHL numbers didn't go up having Vilevica trashing you on the show.0.566 view @andy #RHOA

Did you know Kenya was in this video? Her laugh is real.

Kenya: "I Will Always Be a Queen"

Love Kenya,

I read this earlier but, it never crossed my mind to relate it to this article.
 I 'm trying but can't find a way to tie that article into especially the first portion of her comment and/or his response.  Help me out;

She says- Gone ahead Andy, I see you....
Her tweet sounded as if it was a continuation of a conversation, as if he said something first - especially since his response to that was the goof ball emoticons.
 
I can see where maybe , " the more you know" could mean she was pointing out to Andy that she boosted ratings for RS  and  RHOA would lose out if they let her go...your thoughts?

I loved this by Kenya!

"I will always be a queen, literally and figuratively....."  was my favorite line.

And she was a great representative of just that throughout the entire season and closed it out perfectly with this blog.
She slayed  all of the Beast didn't she- Cut them deep and, they didn't even realize they were bleeding when she was done.
She did it very gracefully- without animation, theatrics, or grandstanding.

Calling Nene out at the end, using her breakup up and remarrying to rub in her face that she obviously was not the reason for the shows success and basically saying "you could never get me fired and I already know I'll be back"  boss attitude gave me life.

I hope someone explained it to that imbecile because she probably did not #catchmostofthatshade, Lol
Kenya's fans did though. Lol.

Her blog was such a contrast to Nene's final Blog which I pointed out on the boards was full of histrionics, exclamation marks, accusations  and more boasting and lies.

One thing I didn't get though, and it slipped my mind to ask. What does this mean:

"Yet, it’s basically teaching young girls that having a square card reader between your butt cheeks..."

I read this earlier but, it never crossed my mind to relate it to this article.

I wasn’t relating her blog to this article. I was just posting Kenya’s blog because it was so eloquently done.

It does sound like a continuation. Can you delete tweets? Because there’s nothing on Andy’s Twitter from Porsha all the way back to June 5th. Who knows with that dumb @$$. She makes my head hurt.

That blog was the bomb-diggity. Beautiful shade, just beautiful. The truck ran over them and they didn’t even press charges. Laying up in the hospital talking about “I don’t know what happened, one minute I was OK, next thing I knew a Mack truck had hit me." (That's what they would feel like if they actually understood the shade. So dumb. Yes, and she backed up her words beautifully by her actions.

 LOL@ Nene's final expression. I can only imagine. She's such an idiot.
They just got Macked and don’t even know it…even now.

One thing I didn't get though, and it slipped my mind to ask. What does this mean:
"Yet, it’s basically teaching young girls that having a square card reader between your butt cheeks..."

I loved that. She’s saying Porsha’s sugar daddies are swiping their credit cards in her butt cr*ck for sexual favors and that's basically what Porsha is doing by bragging about her "gifts" when everyone knows she's a working girl. #****#BadExampleForYoungGirls

Girl Power: Essence Atkins, Demetria McKinney And Vivica A. Fox Film Sitcom Pilot

By: Angela Wilson / April 3, 2015

Looks like Real Housewives of Atlanta star Demetria McKinney, Hollywood veteran Vivica A. Fox and Essence Atkins of A Haunted House fame will join the Olivia Popes, Cookie Lyons, and Mary Jane Pauls in the network of leading ladies of color.
McKinney, who was noticeably absent during the Housewives reunion taping, let the cat out the bag yesterday (Apr. 2) via Instagram of a new sitcom pilot she filmed with Fox and Atkins. Details of the pilot has been on the hush, but we’re looking forward to more girl power dominating the silver screen.

I can’t say too much now, but I just shot a great sitcom pilot with these beautiful actresses, @essencesays and @msvivicafox. #workingactress #100 #TradeItAll

Hahahaha. I always loved children but old people creeped me out until I was a certain age.  Weird because I adored my grandparents.
 This old lady in church use to complain to my mom that I wouldn't hug her and my mom would come looking for me and  make me hug her! and girl, I would cry like my mom was giving me away. Hahahaha.

I grew out of that though. Certain older women did intrigue me if they were sassy or funny.

I don't know why things are so funny in church.  I think it's because you know you are not supposed to laugh as it seems irreverent.  Lol

Girl, once my baby sister and I visited a church with one of my older sisters and her then husband who thought he was a preacher (#catchthatshade) and the church had like 3 members. Ha!

My sister and I went because my bro in law begged us to come and support. We had never been to that church and didn't know they didn't have any members but we had seen and knew the pastor of that church  (my bro-in- laws friend) was F.I.N.E. foine so we relented.
 We were in our early twenties.   

My sister and I are already chuckling before service starts- my brother in law had made us sit on the front row because hardly no one was there.  We knew he wasn't a good preacher.

Everything was funny for no reason. From the way he stepped around the pulpit,  to the way he was expecting a response from 3 people.  We snickered and fidgeted a lot trying to keep it all down.
My brother in law was so mad at us.

We managed, though.  Until it was time for communion.  When they took the top off of the bread tray- now, I'm used to wafers or crackers but girl, this was like a whole loaf of bread- I think it had sesame seeds on it - my sister and I lost it.

I was bent all the way over in the front row pretending to be going through my purse - we were both sneezing, and snorting- tears -little bit of howling - trying to stifle the laughter- in full view. You  could hear a pin drop in that church it was so empty and here we were on the front row- right in front of the pulpit.  It was awful.

 The more we tried to stop the worse it got.  That whole scene with the first flash of that loaf of bread  and them lifting the top off just kept replaying in my head -  we were so weak. 

To make matters worse, because of  the desperate, reckless, fumbling around looking for nothing, trying to fake something that would give me a reason to be doubled over,  all the change I had fell out of my purse and some of the coins rolled up to the communion plate like they were going up to take communion-
That was just too much.  Even now.

After we got ourselves together, We were so embarrassed and really felt bad - we wouldn't even take the communion.  I'm not sure he would have let us have it.

Needless to say he didn't ask us again.  He shouldn't have put us on the front row, though. 

Girl, we still laugh about that- good thing the three people that came were already saved. LOLOLOL.

I will definitely start reading Ecclesiastes.

Sorry- should have read this first before I asked all those questions about the Porsha tweet/article.  Hahahahahaha.

By the way, I was trying to tie in Porsha's tweet with the article you posted about the RS  ratings,   NOT Kenya's blog.  I understood the blog was only FYI  purposes.

I hope something got mixed up here but, Porsha  would be a fool to lie - she would get outed sooner or later.

Yes, she definitely looks like a tranny. Straight dude in the face. I crack up when people call her Arsenio hall.
And why does she look so nasty?  Even with clothes on.

Ahhhhh, got it. I understood the gist- didn't catch the square card reader ref.  but should have.
Wow - spicy read.


 I don't get the Lalate article since;
1.  They really didn't explain anything- like the panning back and forth.
2.  They didn't say they were quoting Kenya so, how do they know whether or not James was in Vegas.  Unless I missed Kenya's or her friends quote.  And if they asked James, what incentive would he have to say yes?
3.  Forget the certificate, don't you have to apply for a marriage license?  Can't you  find out if they at least applied? 
4.  What difference does it make that the registry listed the address, time and date?  You don't need a notary present to prove you are being truthful about that- you just show up and give them whatever info you would like them to have. Means nothing.
5.  "They announced their engagement in April  before the wedding".   When did they do that?  April 31st?  And, so?  That means nothing either.

Odd right?  What do you think?
LaLate is normally very supportive of Kenya, too.   I don't understand their angle  here.  Did it sound a little shady to you? 

Not saying the marriage is not legit but, imo their article wasn't really informative.
We could have written a better article with the info we had if all they wanted was clicks. Hahahaha.
I usually like them.
 
You know, LaLate was where I first read that Kenya's show was going to happen.
Kenya had made the statement after that, that she could have a spinoff  but she chose to do her sitcom.  So I knew it was supposed to happen on Bravo but, never knew it actually made it on the schedule/roster.
It makes sense now, your explanation that Janet Hubert threw a wrench in it.

Why didn't Andy or Kenya explain instead of letting people believe/ spread innuendo that her work wasn't good enough to get picked up. That's the part I am still baffled about.

Lol, @ James and Jaimie trying to get a job @ Match.com.  Thought he already had a great job making 500k?

I heard match gets some of their attractive members to do "success" commercials. That might be what they are trying to get.  Lol.

  So sick of VF & so over Andy trying to steal plays out of Donald Trumps play book- pitting and playing up every one against Kenya for ratings.

Glad the article made her and Andy look like jokes.  I used to like him. 

Crazy about that sitcom though!  Good catch. Maybe that's why Vivica turned down the HW's.

I grew out of that though. Certain older women did intrigue me if they were sassy or funny.

Girl, you even straightened this out for me. Now that I think about it, I think I presented my mother's words out of context, what she meant was I wasn't always hanging out with my own peer group exclusively. As a teenager I liked hanging out with children because they make me laugh. My son gets so irritated with me because he says I laugh too much. It's just funny hearing their insights, remembering how you felt the same way, and knowing that there's so many layers to everything that you can't even explain it to them sufficiently. I also liked people who were older than my own peer group, because I was interested in people who had experienced things that were facing me in the near future. When I say my friend was "old" she was in her mid twenties and when you're 13 or 14 years old, twenty-four sounds ancient.

My bad. You are right, like you, older people creeped me out too. especially when you're very wrong. My first job while I was in high school was at a nursing home and I had to go into the patients' room and fill their water jugs and clean their sinks. Oh gosh, I hated that job. One day I was cleaning this lady's sink, not paying attention as I was talking to her and I touched her false teeth! They were wet, but were not in any water! I almost died. After that I wouldn't go back in her room I was so freaked out. I would've been fired except that my upstairs neighbor took over my duties unbeknownst to my employer, while I found an out of the way spot and slept the rest of my summer employment away. The mind of a child. No wonder you can't get through to them. They are just not equipped.


I don't know why things are so funny in church.  I think it's because you know you are not supposed to laugh as it seems irreverent.  Lol

Girl, once my baby sister and I visited a church with one of my older sisters and her then husband who thought he was a preacher (#catchthatshade) and the church had like 3 members. Ha!

My sister and I went because my bro in law begged us to come and support. We had never been to that church and didn't know they didn't have any members but we had seen and knew the pastor of that church  (my bro-in- laws friend) was F.I.N.E. foine so we relented.
 We were in our early twenties.   

My sister and I are already chuckling before service starts- my brother in law had made us sit on the front row because hardly no one was there.  We knew he wasn't a good preacher.

Everything was funny for no reason. From the way he stepped around the pulpit,  to the way he was expecting a response from 3 people.  We snickered and fidgeted a lot trying to keep it all down.
My brother in law was so mad at us.

We managed, though.  Until it was time for communion.  When they took the top off of the bread tray- now, I'm used to wafers or crackers but girl, this was like a whole loaf of bread- I think it had sesame seeds on it - my sister and I lost it.

I was bent all the way over in the front row pretending to be going through my purse - we were both sneezing, and snorting- tears -little bit of howling - trying to stifle the laughter- in full view. You  could hear a pin drop in that church it was so empty and here we were on the front row- right in front of the pulpit.  It was awful.

 The more we tried to stop the worse it got.  That whole scene with the first flash of that loaf of bread  and them lifting the top off just kept replaying in my head -  we were so weak. 

To make matters worse, because of  the desperate, reckless, fumbling around looking for nothing, trying to fake something that would give me a reason to be doubled over,  all the change I had fell out of my purse and some of the coins rolled up to the communion plate like they were going up to take communion-
That was just too much.  Even now.

I laughed. I cried. I choked and almost died. This is the funniest chit I have ever read that happened in a church. I don't know how you all managed to stay that long. I couldn't have. I would've been doubled over in laughter, crying, snotting, and crawling out of that church. The front row? Oh H naw. The bread? Um uh. The coins falling out? I would have crawled out of the church on my hands and knees. This cannot be topped. Ever. I seriously almost died laughing at this story. This gets filed in books. I must steal it. You cannot make this kind of stuff up.

After we got ourselves together, We were so embarrassed and really felt bad - we wouldn't even take the communion.  I'm not sure he would have let us have it.

Needless to say he didn't ask us again.  He shouldn't have put us on the front row, though. 

Girl, we still laugh about that- good thing the three people that came were already saved. LOLOLOL.

I will definitely start reading Ecclesiastes.

Sorry- should have read this first before I asked all those questions about the Porsha tweet/article.  Hahahahahaha.

By the way, I was trying to tie in Porsha's tweet with the article you posted about the RS  ratings,   NOT Kenya's blog.  I understood the blog was only FYI  purposes.

I hope something got mixed up here but, Porsha  would be a fool to lie - she would get outed sooner or later.

Yeah, but sixth? And Fox? You know how much they lie.

Yes, she definitely looks like a tranny. Straight dude in the face. I crack up when people call her Arsenio hall.
And why does she look so nasty?  Even with clothes on.

It's amazing isn't it? She's looking so hard in the face. That lifestyle is showing on her.  And yes, she looks nasty even in clothes. I don't know why she's always dressed so skanky, it makes her look too big.

Ahhhhh, got it. I understood the gist- didn't catch the square card reader ref.  but should have.
Wow - spicy read.


 I don't get the Lalate article since;
1.  They really didn't explain anything- like the panning back and forth.
2.  They didn't say they were quoting Kenya so, how do they know whether or not James was in Vegas.  Unless I missed Kenya's or her friends quote.  And if they asked James, what incentive would he have to say yes?
3.  Forget the certificate, don't you have to apply for a marriage license?  Can't you  find out if they at least applied? 
4.  What difference does it make that the registry listed the address, time and date?  You don't need a notary present to prove you are being truthful about that- you just show up and give them whatever info you would like them to have. Means nothing.
5.  "They announced their engagement in April  before the wedding".   When did they do that?  April 31st?  And, so?  That means nothing either.

Odd right?  What do you think?
LaLate is normally very supportive of Kenya, too.   I don't understand their angle  here.  Did it sound a little shady to you? 

I've already apologized below for not putting any thought towards this article. You are correct as usual. But, it didn't sound shady to me. It sounds like they are protecting her from what could have been a disaster. You see how it silenced everybody? I think they took the lead in that, and other blogs followed suit.

Not saying the marriage is not legit but, imo their article wasn't really informative.
We could have written a better article with the info we had if all they wanted was clicks. Hahahaha.
I usually like them.
 
You know, LaLate was where I first read that Kenya's show was going to happen.
Kenya had made the statement after that, that she could have a spinoff  but she chose to do her sitcom.  So I knew it was supposed to happen on Bravo but, never knew it actually made it on the schedule/roster.
It makes sense now, your explanation that Janet Hubert threw a wrench in it.

That heifer. I hope it gets picked up and she is REPLACED. She could've made a comeback. Dumb wench.

Why didn't Andy or Kenya explain instead of letting people believe/ spread innuendo that her work wasn't good enough to get picked up. That's the part I am still baffled about.

I don't know, maybe there were legal ramifications that we're not aware of. Because it was listed on Bravo's site, but I guess they couldn't say anything about Janet during a legal proceeding. That's the only thing I can think of.

Lol, @ James and Jaimie trying to get a job @ Match.com.  Thought he already had a great job making 500k?

I heard match gets some of their attractive members to do "success" commercials. That might be what they are trying to get.  Lol.

I wouldn't put anything past that duo. They deserve each other. I feel sorrier for her. Talk about a warning sign, SMH.

  So sick of VF & so over Andy trying to steal plays out of Donald Trumps play book- pitting and playing up every one against Kenya for ratings.

Glad the article made her and Andy look like jokes.  I used to like him. 

Crazy about that sitcom though!  Good catch. Maybe that's why Vivica turned down the HW's.

Maybe Viv will stop now. She received a lot of backlash, a lot. I'll bet she wasn't expecting that. Kenya is doing a great job of cleaning up all the erroneous information out there about her. Yep, Andy should be embarrassed. That backfired big time.

Ooh, girl. I know the lower ranked employee can't promote the higher up, but I just did. Detective GetReal2014 just promoted you to whatever is above the captain. I'm embarrassed to have not brought any insight to the information, but thanks for letting me know that I had better on my J.O.B. when presenting a case to you.

Your breakdown of the article was intense. Good stuff. I didn't even think about breaking it down to the nth degree. I was showing it to you because it was doing damage control for Kenya. Remember, there was a time that all of the blogs were against her before the tide began to slowly change. Evidently, Lalate is pretty respected amongst the blogs and that might be why other bloggers have toned their venom down. Even M isn't as scathing as she used to be. Influenced?


Oh, and I'll never present "evidence" to you without coming up with common sense solutions for why I am presenting.

Humbled.

Responses bolded.

Ok, first.....
Nooooo. I didn't mean it that way!

My response was to the article - not you GetReal.  Don't even think about making sure of anything.
Post any and all. There is always something in every article - even if I have already read it.
I love this stuff.

Honestly, I pondered for quite a bit after I typed it,  if my response would come off that way.  I had typed it so fast.  I went back and changed some stuff and even considered scrapping it altogether. I should have.
I took a chance- because you are a straight shooter too and I wanted to know if you were thinking the same. I was just rattling my thoughts off really quickly trying not to forget any points.  I figured you would bring your points after me.

I know I do that to you sometimes.   I post articles and I have my own thoughts on it but I've already said so dang much about everything else- I wait for your response and then post my thoughts on that article when you come back.
You should always trust your gut instinct.  So, my bad.
 Sorry. Really. (Hangs head)

I have always loved Lalate. There was a time when TT and that News source were the only ones I would take seriously or quote. Plus, they have ALWAYS backed Kenya.
Girl, They love soccer like you love tennis.  My fiancé keeps up with  soccer there.
I'm glad to hear they are respected amongst other bloggers.  My instincts were right about them.

It is no coincidence the legit sites back her. Notice that?

I just felt like in this instance they were at least on the edge of taking James's side.
You know, almost like Kenya knew they were married before she stated/admitted it.

I don't feel sorry for that wife. She was stupid, agreeing to take the lead and putting herself out there on such a public story when she was considered the 3rd party.  He met Kenya first even if she did get the ring.  He lied to both of them. Something had to sound fishy.

I trust my fiancé with my life but, he can't just bring me anything/explanation and I just take it for gospel.
If something doesn't make sense, I question until it does. When I'm done asking or he's  finished answering and there are still holes well then......
Lets just say, I sure won't be taking any interviews in his defense. You would just have to figure it out or talk to him. Lol
If he didn't know at first, he knows now, not to bring me half baked story's after 4 years. Lol.

I agree @ Vivica. She ran her mouth til she got something didn't she?    You're right. Maybe that will shut her up.
But, she'd better work on making sure she gets some fans other than Kenya haters or she'll be back doing church services.
You know, she had started that ish too. Smh.

She sure found out "she ain't got it like that" coming for Kenya though. Ha!

Soooo ticked too, at that busted Janet Huberts sick, broke azz. 
If she was sooo against any and everything HW's and Bravo why would she even do Kenya's pilot in the first place?   And since she was sooo pro sistah- why would she try and ruin another's dream knowing how few chances we are afforded in this industry? For Women period.
So stupid, all of that drama she caused.
I too, hope Kenya gets the last laugh at that one.  She really upset me.

@ Porsha. Ewww. Such a slide from the woman who made the "you don't know the conviction of a wife" speech huh?  Fake.
The best thing she ever did was marry Kordell.  He at least made her look and act like a lady for the most part.
As soon as he drop kicked her she went for Kenya's hair and back to video ho status.  Immediate plummet.
 
And she's so stupid thinking her glam squad is doing her any favors. I bet they are cookie cutters and everyone they do work for ends up looking just like her.
She's obviously getting what she pays for. Someone who makes up men for drag shows. You can't use them for everything.
 They should know how to soften her features. What we see is proof that they do not.

You're right - her nasty life has become her aura.  It makes her look dirty - her glow is like headlights through smog.  She needs to work extra hard  just to look bad. 

LMAO @ your story about the false teeth. Ok. You feel me. Lol.
Now, I loooove older people. So much reverence.  Getting older yourself will do that to you. LOL!

You're so right about Kids....seeing through their eyes and this is perfect: "so many layers to everything that you can't even explain it to them sufficiently."
And this...."The mind of a child. No wonder you can't get through to them. They are just not equipped."
....is just everything.
I can't even tell you the screwy rationale. Good thing my mom threatened us lol.
....and the opportunities I let slide thinking they were on a continuous loop...... Smh.

I was a mature kid and I was screwy- I can't imagine the normal thinkers.
It's why you can't leave kids to their own devices- even if they are mature.
Think of all the kids raising themselves with crappy hands off parents. Tragic.
So true- @ 13-14, Everyone over 24 is ancient.

My 14 year old niece was telling us a random story, when my mom asked who was the guy in question and my niece retorted, "I don't know, some old dude"

Of course we all pipe up at once,
 " how old is he?"
  Her response;
"I don't know, 25 or something like that"
Girl, all of us sitting there could do nothing but fall out  laughing  and feel old as dirt.
I remembered thinking and feeling  the same way though - just like you said.
When I was 21, a woman told me if she couldn't have her second baby by the time she was 30 she wouldn't try anymore. I thought a 30 year old pregnant woman was the nastiest thing I had ever heard. And I was 21!
Kids are so silly.

I agree- I loved  to be around older girls too.  Remember, I had older sibs.  My 3 oldest sisters were heaven to me.
They were beautiful and sophisticated. My oldest was my idol. She was 22-3 when I was 12.

I would give my right arm to be in their company at that age and had crushes on their boyfriends.  Lol. I was soooo, hurt when they went away to college.

Coming up, my friends other than my closest first cousins were older because I was more mature. I  Dated older guys too.  I talked to and hung out with them- held hands  but, was never interested in "boys"

Now oddly, most - 99% even -of my friends are younger.

Girl, your response to my story made me die laughing. Sure glad it wasn't YOU sitting beside me. My sis was bad enough.

You know, looking back I'm not sure why we didn't leave- we have certainly done that before.....Raced out of a church and other places.

I think because, first of all we couldn't even get ourselves together to stand up and because we were practically the only ones there getting up to leave would really have been a disaster.  It would have been the walk of shame. We were crazy enough to think we could pull it together and act as if nothing has happened. Not.

You know, we shout and praise in our church but, Communion was always a very solemn, sophisticated, very regimented  (for lack of better words) ceremony.

So girl, when they rolled out that Loaf of bread we were through. Lawwwwd.

We don't remember to this day, the ride home, my big sisters reaction- the closing prayer.....NOTHING except that service. It was that traumatic. Lol.

Girl, the church stories are endless.

Now, I know I can't go anywhere with you!  You are worse than me!  How is that possible? Lolololol!
I am shedding tears thinking about the possibilities.

Who am I kidding. I can't wait. Lol!

Ok, I will be calling you next week.  I'll be getting in and will have some time Between Tues and Thursday.  I know your schedule is crazy like mine.  Let me know the times that work best for you!

Girl, what on earth are you talking about! I loved how you broke that article down. That was major awesome. I had not looked at that article with a critical eye; I was just so blown away at Lalate doing damage control for Kenya. Remember, I was not familiar with Lalate until TT mentioned it several months ago, so I didn’t have a long history with it as you do. For me, it was so gratifying to see someone not blaming, accusing, and trying to make her look like a fool. I was so happy.

But you gave a wonderful assessment of the article’s content. I thought it was masterful. You know I’m into breaking things down too, so no way am I going to be offended by someone having a better take on something than I do. I can learn from anybody, children and all. The more someone broadens my perspective, the better. I was in no way offended and was giving you the highest honors. I would not want to be on your bad side, ever. You are amazing.

Your response was lovely. Please do not give that another thought. I love smart and intelligent people, but you my dear, are brilliant. I have never met anyone with a mind like yours and I look forward to learning even more from you. You are the master. Keep it coming and never hold back. I know your heart and know that you would never come from a bad place. You totally misread my communication. That was up there with some of your best posts. I loved it. 

I had no idea that Lalate backed Kenya. That’s great. Although I’ve just learned of Lalate recently, I have noticed that the other “news” outlets have softened quite a bit towards Kenya. Some were horrible to her and now, even they are looking at her with a clearer head. It’s not a coincidence either that as Kenya is rising in relevance; the others are sinking. Have you noticed that? Nene is not getting the passes that she used to get, and neither are Porsha and Phaedra. Good will always triumph over evil.

“I just felt like in this instance they were at least on the edge of taking James's side.”

I didn’t feel that way at all. I thought the emphasis was on the fact that Kenya had not lied and done MMM as a publicity stunt. They pointed out:
1.   Kenya never  said that James was in Vegas with her.

2.   That she never said she was engaged to him, or that he had even given her the ring.

And some other stuff, but I thought they did a great job of clearing her name as far as any shenanigans go. I’ll have to read the article again, because I didn’t get that feeling at all.

The jury is still out for me on when those two got married, if they even are married. If their timeline is true, then why did they bother with the fake Facebook page? Why did no one congratulate them until a month later? None of it makes sense. It’s a scam, but for whose benefit? That’s the burning question.

The wife invalidates the story if you ask me. If what she said was true, then yes, she’s an idiot, because she really shouldn’t have had any issue with Kenya. She should’ve had an issue with her lying man. The only good thing is that she sounded so stupid, talking about he went on a national TV show and forgot about it. She’s pretty gullible to even go along with that mess if you ask me. I’m the same way. You get yourself in a bind, you get yourself out. I am not a caped crusader fixing someone else’s problems.

Ha ha ha. That blew up very nicely in Vivica’s face, didn’t it? She thought this was 2013, when Nene and Crew were successful in painting Kenya in such a bad light. Things have changed and Viv learned that the hard way. Kenya’s fans, her own fans, and most bloggers didn’t take kindly to her nasty ways. And the cherry on top was the fact that people did not tune in to see her dog out Kenya. Egg on both her and Andy’s face.

“Or she'll be back doing church services.”

No, I did not, church services? You’re kidding, right? She sure did. I wonder if we’ll hear any more from her on Kenya. She’d be a fool if she tried it again.

Janet? So stupid. Nothing she did made sense. She just shot herself in the foot, yet again. Kenya tried to back that fool back from the ashes and that’s how she behaved? It will a cold day in hell when anyone chooses to work with her again. Unnecessary drama, and for what?

“the conviction of a wife” speech? Whut? Kordell must be thanking his lucky star. He did the right thing giving that chick the boot. It must have been h*ll living with her for as long as he did. She’s too stupid to live with, especially in a life-long commitment. She’s nothing but trash. He said she was trying to emulate Nene when she was staying out all night. He locked the doors on her and it was the best decision he ever made, IMO. .Whoever is on her glam team needs to be shot. She looks more like a drag queen every day.

Girl, we are but for a minute. Where did the time go? It sure changes your perspective on age, that’s for darn sure. I remember one day this girl came into the restroom at work and she looked depressed. I asked her if she was OK and looked at me wistfully and said, “Life would’ve been so much easier if we had listened to our parents.” Yes.
I was mature and all the things I got wrong are downright embarrassing. If you start out with a noodle for a brain…well, there you go.

Ha ha ha, @ your niece and the “old man.” That’s about right. I remember when my son was in the first grade, he came telling me about this bully on the bus. I asked him what grade the boy was in. he was adamant that the boy was so big and so old. To hear him tell it, this teenager was six feet tall, with a beard and mustache, who smoked Newports and drank alcohol. I said, “You’re exaggerating.” And he would not back down. I finally had to break it down to him that his school only went to the third grade and the boy could be older than eight or nine. But, I understood, at that age even two years older seems like an adult.
In the early years another two or three years take on a much greater significance. I find that it extends to your twenties, until you turn about 28 or 2, that’s when you realize, “Hey, I’m not old and I’m already pushing 30.”

Me and my oldest sister were so tight. She took me everywhere with her. She used to style my hair in all of these cute hairstyles, roll it up at night, and everything. I didn’t put my hands in my own hair until I was 17 and she had married and moved away.

You know you write like a novelist, don’t you? Your words are so visual. They absolutely take me there. I was seriously crying and choking when I read that part. I didn’t want it to end.

And no, I could no have been there. At all. You’d better be glad I wasn’t there, because I can’t hold it in situations like that. I would’ve slid off the pew, onto the floor and let the laughter take me there. And I know I would’ve been on the floor because my limbs get weak and won’t support me. You are a much better woman than I am because he would’ve had to be mad at me. I’m sorry I would’ve pretended like I had to go to the restroom and never came back. I could not have stayed till the end of that service; No way, no how. The bread? Leave that part out if you don’t know people’s heart condition. You’d been done gave somebody a heart attack. That was the funniest thing I have ever read about a church service in my life.

One of my girlfriends and I are like that. We can’t hold it. period.

We went to this wedding reception and this lady at the table kept talking to me all night. I could barely talk to my friend for Mary. We were chatting up a storm, but it was only because she wouldn’t leave me alone. Finally, I got up, telling her that I was going to dance. Well, you already know that Mary was in the mood to dance, too. I couldn’t tell her to sit her old @zz down, so she followed me onto the dance floor.. while I was looking for my “spot,” Mary says, “Do the bump with me.” The Bump?” WTH. But, I acquiesced. We started doing the bump and it was the grossest thing I’ve ever experienced in my life. It felt like this woman had no bones in her body, just meat. She wasn’t particularly heavy, but I don’t know what it was. Every time I tried to do the bump, it felt like I was sinking into a feather bed. It was the most uncomfortable feeling that I’ve ever experienced.
Later on, they did a Soul Train Line and I decided to sit it out for fear of Mary. I ambled over to the dance floor to see who would be Mary’s next victim. Sure enough Mary picked my friend to go down the line with. My friend started doing the bump with Mary and you had to be there to see the look of confusion on her face. I’m sure she felt exactly what I had experienced. I was leaning against a pillar laughing until tears rolled down my face. I had to sit down I was so weak. After the dance we were ready to go. We walked out to the car and neither one of us said a word. My friend is one of those people who tries to never say a mean word about anyone. We got in the car and she started to drive off. I could see that she was struggling to say something, but I waited. We had barely gotten out of the parking lot when she turned to me and said, “Did you dance with Mary?” to which I replied, “yes.” We drove a little bit more. Finally, she said, “did you notice anything unusual?” “Girl, I lost it. I said, “You mean like the fact that she had a mush butt?“ we laughed so hard we had to pull over. My friend had experienced the exact same thing. To this day I can’t explain what her body felt like, but it was oh, so, gross.
No, we probably couldn’t go anywhere together where some unfortunate circumstances arose, but I’m going to tell you now, when it comes to laughter I have a hard time holding it in.  But, at the same time, it’s what good memories are made of.

I’m always available. I’m a recluse. LOL.
