In Part 3 of The Real Housewives of Atlanta reunion began with the men, and Bob Whitfield apologized again but, Sheree said that she’d heard some of those things before.  She said that he was sorry, after the backlash from viewers. Sheree said that Bob was definitely not where she needs him to be. There was some concern over how the children will be impacted.

What was Peter Thomas drinking? Cynthia was about the break down when she began to talk about their issues. It was the stress of when things didn’t work out. Peter said that shit was hard and she was not good at dealing at that. He mentioned how  Porsha said that he was hooking up with young girls (over 18) and it wasn’t true.

Porsha Williams said that she and Todd were on “pause”. Peter Thomas walked off when Porsha talked about her sex life with Todd. He whispered to Todd and to Cynthia Bailey that he was leaving and the next thing we know, he was out. Yes. He also said that Phaedra and Porsha were full of sh*t and he wished that Cynthia had been a stronger person.

Andy then introduced  Shamea  Morton who was introduced as Porsha’s best friend and Kandi’s friend.  Kenya got onto Porsha about how the defended Phaedra, but not Shamea. They ended up, telling each other to shut the fuck up. Porsha apologized for whatever she did and however she felt.

The conversation in question was when Phaedra (who doesn’t get along with Shamea) said that Shamea was sleeping with everybody’s husband and Porsha said nothing.  Then Porsha added on that Kandi Burruss is very close to Shamea and Todd.

Frick and Frack alliance was in full effect. Yes, and alliance like in Survivor. “I think it’s a convenient friendship. She is the funniest that she’s ever been in her life, hanging around Porsha, she brings a youthful side to Auntie,” Shamea said.

Porsha insisted that she had a genuine friendship with Phaedra, and she didn’t care what other people said about it.

“Be careful girl. Don’t leave your credit cards  and your license around. You know she’s into fraudulent activity,” Shamea said.

Phaedra said the things she did because she didn’t like the things that Shamea had been saying. Kandi was just a casualty. Shamea had said that Phaedra tried to holla at her husband, that Phaedra had been flirtatious to the man that Shamea had been married to in the past.
Shamea said that she did that, because she felt that Porsha was “going so hard” for Phaedra, so she was trying to say that Porsha should not trust Phaedra. She should be careful. All the time, Kandi had a “hell naw” look on her face.

Shamea and Phaedra went at it, but one of the funniest comments was when Shamea said, “That navel to the left, stop using Groupons for your plastic surgery.” She was referring to Phaedra, of course.

Next, Andy introduced the claims that some of the women, namely Kandi, Shamea and Porsha had sex with women.
Kandi told the world that Porsha was a hypocrite when she acted as though she never tried to push up on her (have sex with her), because she had tried that. Porsha kissed Kandi and propositioned her for more, but Porsha had tried to deny it, She later admitted that it probably did happen.

Andy asked Porsha why Porsha why she thought that Kandi and Todd would try to drug her and take advantage of her. Porsha answered by saying that since she works for Dish Nation, and she’s in the world of journalism, she didn’t want to be known as a liar. She said she was served a cease and desist by Kandi, and since she could no longer speak on the subject, she would have Phaedra speak, since she is the one who told her that Kandi said that (she wanted to drug Porsha).

The fireworks between Porsha Williams and Kandi Burruss continued on Part 2 of The Real Housewives of Atlanta Reunion for Season 9. Kandi said that she didn’t believe that Porsha was going to anger management classes, and Porsha said that she didn’t feel supported for doing positive things, like raising money for charity on the Apprentice. This triggered emotions in Kandi who donated $5,000 to help Porsha on the Apprentice. Porsha revealed during the reunion that she felt bullied by the other women, because the others didn’t support her enough.

Kenya admitted that she was in the relationship with Matt longer than she should have been. She said that she just didn’t equate his angry outbursts as a sign that he’d be violent towards her.

If Matt was so threatening to Kenya, why did Cynthia have a sit-down with him to smooth things over between this guy and her good friend? Well, Cynthia said that they kept getting back together, so she thought maybe she could find out what Matt’s issue was with Kenya. Kenya said that she hadn’t thought about Matt in months. He called her for the New Year from a new number, and she told him to stay positive. Kenya has moved on. Apparently, she told Andy that she had a new boyfriend.

Phaedra’s Inconsistencies

They touched on Phaedra and her inconsistent information. She said that she was divorced but had appealed it again, but she also said that she paid him at $100,000 settlement. Phaedra said that she was not dating anyone but talked to Shemar Moore from time to time.

Kenya and Matt

They revisited (again) the argument between Kenya and Sheree regarding abuse. Sheree made it clear that she wouldn’t condone a man putting his hands on a woman. Earlier in the season, Sheree did make it sound as though Kenya had provoked Matt.

Sheree’s Emotional Reveal

Sheree tearfully revealed how Bob had abused her and she hadn’t talked about it for 10 years. He’d said a lot of hurtful things to her over the years, yet Sheree said that she was “like any other crazy woman, thinking that he’d changed.” She wanted them to be able to interact as a family.

It turns out that Sheree’s honesty about the spousal abuse she suffered from, had an impact on a lot of women. Sheree said that women have come up to her in public and just wanted to hug her. Kenya supported Sheree by telling her that she had to be tough and no one would judge her for that. She also went over to give her a hug.

Part One of The Real Housewives of Atlanta reunion had a soft start with giggle-worthy looks at the women’s body rejuvenation trips, a cute review of Kenya Moore’s names for Chateau Sheree, and an interesting talk about who had natural boobs and who had a breast job. The reunion was filmed in the ballroom of the Georgian Hotel in Atlanta.

Then, the reunion focused on Sheree’s Housewarming, Kenya seeing that the basement was unfinished, and the verbal argument between Kenya and Kim.

Andy Cohen mentioned that so many people want to see Kenya’s house that she had some intruders who just had to get a look (or who knows what?). Kenya pulled out a gun on them. Kenya assured Andy that she has several guns and that she’d been shooting all of her life. Porsha Williams, Kandi Burruss, and Phaedra Parks raised their hands when Andy asked who else had guns. So, the RHOA are definitely packing. Sheree said that she just received her permit, and Cynthia Bailey said that she was thinking about getting a gun.

A lot of people have been wondering if Sheree is actually living in her mansion. She said that she is, although Kenya said that she didn’t think that Sheree was living there, because the house always looked like it was always dark.
Of course, Kenya didn’t hide that she took Kandi down to the basement, because she was being shady.

“She sat there and tore my house up, down, and around the corner. I thought she was a city inspector,” Kenya said of Sheree’s visit for the Moore Manor Housewarming Party. Then, Kenya and Sheree started arguing over the houses, but things got hot when Sheree said that she could put two of Kenya’s homes in her unfinished basement, and Kenya said that at least she could pay for her own home, and that at least she didn’t have tax liens and people lined up to take liens on her place. Sheree came back with saying that at least she provided a toilet for her contractors. Sheree told Andy that she paid all of contractors that should be paid.

They argued over who had the idea first for the lighting in the homes, as well, but some tea was spilled when Sheree said that Kenya had a rich African guy who helped her with her down payment (Kenya denied this). Porsha chimed in by telling Andy that Kenya tried to tell some guy from Africa that her car was wrecked, so he would give her the money to buy another car. The man refused. A second African guy gave her the money for the house, Porsha said on the show. She said that she has the African connection.

Kenya was adamant that she was self-made, and she had everything built from the ground up and that she would sit any day and defend herself against that. “If I ever talk about something, it’s a fact, and whatever I say about any of you whether it’s your lien, whether it’s the men you sleep with, when I say it, it’s a fact,” Kenya said.

The argument over the effectiveness of Porsha’s anger management was brought up. Porsha said she was still going to anger management to help her relieve her stress. Porsha was upset on a previous episode of the show, because Kenya and Kandi asked her how her anger management class was going. Porsha didn’t believe that Phaedra told the women that Porsha wanted to share information about her anger management classes. There was a huge argument in that show, but Porsha walked away while just about everyone was fussing at her. Andy asked Kenya why did she follow Porsha out of the restaurant when Porsha tried to leave the situation. Porsha, thankfully wasn’t triggered over the incident. But Porsha did call her friend Phaedra to presumably ask her why she told the women that she wanted to talk about her anger management. They apparently had a nice little talk and their friendship wasn’t impacted.

Kandi wondered out loud on the reunion show why Porsha called Phaedra and had a conversation with her when she found out that Phaedra had told the women that Porsha wanted to talk to them about her anger management. Kandi felt that Porsha had a problem with her, but she didn’t give her the courtesy of calling her (she just gossiped about Kandi).

Unsurprisingly, Kandi didn’t believe that Porsha was even going to anger management, beyond the two times that were captured on the show. Porsha was offended and felt that the women didn’t support her, and that’s when Kandi went off on her, saying that she had supported Porsha and even gave her money to help her win a competition. They had a shouting match at the end of the show, because Porsha felt that giving money did not give Kandi the right to mistreat people. And so the first part of the reunion show was over.
