‘The Real Housewives of Atlanta’ recap: season 4, episode 16: family tensions boil over

There were four battles on the “Real Housewives of Atlanta” front tonight:

- Kim Zolciak vs. her assistant Sweetie. Fireworks level: sparkly

- Peter Thomas and Cynthia Bailey vs. Cynthia’s sister Malorie. Fireworks level: loud and obnoxious

- Sheree Whitfield and Miss Lawrence vs. Marlo Hampton. Fireworks level: rainbow colors

- NeNe Leakes & Gregg Leakes vs. their son Bryson. Fireworks level: fizzled

Let’s start with the hottest feud among Cynthia, her husband and her sister.

Going back to last season, Cynthia’s family has doubted Peter. They never liked him. Peter naturally doesn’t like them either, especially Malorie.

“He’s kind of moody. Is he bi-polar?” Cynthia’s mom Barbara asks at one point before the party.

“I think he’s controlling,” Malorie says.

“I appreciate your concern but I got this,” Cynthia tells them.

As Cynthia and Peter debate the costs of the party ($10,000!), he also mentions a friend providing a Bentley limousine gratis. He has one request: Malorie not be in the limo.

At the party, Peter gets snarky on stage about Malorie. “Everyone but Malorie come on outside,” he said. Then when she arrives, he said, “We’re going to make a toast to friends and family – and Malorie.”

Ahh… the wit of Peter Thomas!

Malorie mutters, “***hole.” She then starts to cry.

A friend tries to calm Malorie. “She has to make her mistakes just like we all have to make our mistakes,” he reasons. “Let her be miserable if that’s what the f*** she wants to be. Let it go, once and for all.

Cynthia shows up. “You’re my sister, not my keeper… This is my life. Live your life… stop being disrespectful.”

“He should have been in my face and say, ‘Let’s talk about it.’ ” Mal says. “So stop taking up for him.”

“You’re making a spectacle,” Cynthia says, as Mal left the scene.

“If that’s how she feels,” Cynthia notes, “she shouldn’t be here.”

- Marlo shows up to Cynthia’s party and is no longer with NFL player Charles Grant. She brings an older, presumably rich white dude named Dave. She is presumably panning for gold again. Sheree Whitfield shows up to the party late and decides to stir up the you know what with her hairstylist friend Miss Lawrence by dishing to him that Marlo had used a serious gay slur while bad-mouthing her in South Africa.

As Kandi notes and knows personally, Sheree “loves throwing people under the bus.”

Miss Lawrence takes Marlo to the kitchen. Sheree tags along. Miss Lawrence asks Marlo about why she used that offensive word. Marlo proceeds to deny something that is clearly on tape. “I love gay people,” Marlo says in a standard defensive way.

“Who does she think she’s fooling?” Sheree says later.  Kandi later confirms to Miss Lawrence and Sheree that Marlo did say what she said. So there!

- Kim is clearing out boxes while her boy toy (and future husband) Kroy Biermann is in Falcons training camp. Her youngest daughter Ariana and dad help her out. Sweetie, the paid assistant, is helping out, too, but is spending more time smoking cigarettes and avoiding work.

Even when Sweetie is working, she bitches to Kim that the work was so hard, she is going to “call Clark Howard.” Kim explains to the Bravo cameras that consumer advocate Clark (who she incorrectly says works at “11 Alive News” when in fact he works at HLN and WSB) is the guy “you report to if you’re being mistreated.”

Later, Kim mentions to her hairdresser the fact that she and Sweetie are friends, which perhaps makes it easier for Sweetie to slack off, show more attitude and act inappropriately with her and her daughters. Kim wants to fire Sweetie but just hasn’t had the guts to do so yet. The hairdresser surmises that perhaps Sweetie is passive-aggressively wanting to leave.  So get ready for the firing at some future point.

- NeNe’s wayward son Bryson comes home, courtesy of NeNe’s husband Gregg since she wouldn’t get him out of jail. Bryson had stolen two razors, worth $28, from a Wal-Mart. As Gregg asked him what he was thinking, he gives no particularly smart reason, just said he keeps doing stupid things. Bryson acts like an 8 year old, not a 21 year old. He has some vague ambition to own a restaurant but clearly shows no ambition or smarts to get there. Somehow, NeNe wasn’t able to pass on her smarts and spitfire to her passive, pot-smoking son.  “Stop making dumb decisions,” Gregg says, advice that does not penetrate if a person is, well, dumb.

The other storyline is Phaedra Parks learning the mortuary arts by learning how to insert formaldehyde into a dead person (using a fake dead person) and doing a proper make-up/hair job. She enjoys it.

Notable quotes

“It’s still a canvas. And I’m a painter.” - Phaedra, about making a dead person look good in the casket.

“He’s a big dreamer. However, that’s one of the things that scares me the most. After the crash and burn of Uptown, I don’t feel comfortable putting all my trust in his dreams.” – Cynthia about her husband Peter.

“You can’t buy loyalty. That’s why I’ve held on to her… I love her to pieces.” - Kim, struggling with firing Sweetie.

“I shouldn’t sweat the small stuff. Tonight, I’m just going to have a good time. I don’t want to talk about babies, black, yellow, red, white. Just no babies, okay?” – Kandi, still feeling burned by last week’s debate over comments relating to whether Kim would go to South Africa and hold African babies.

Trailer for next week

Sheree finds out her daughter is getting married. Kandi heads to Nashville to work with Jo Dee Messina. NeNe has second thoughts about her divorce with Gregg. Phaedra throws a water-park party for her son. Kim and Kandi try to mend their fractured relationship.

Ratings

Last week, episode 15, 2.67 million viewers came to the show, which is the third lowest of the season but up from the previous two episodes. But the show has generally lagged in recent weeks vs. season three. Last year, the comparable 15th episode brought in 3.43 million viewers, 760,000 more than this year.

At least the show was not about Kim and that sorry defensive lineman who plays for the hapless Atlanta Falcons who fans and sportswriters in Atlanta are jealous of overblowing the bounty scandal. I mean have Atlanta Falcons layers ever limped off the field vs Saints in those 3 years. No jus their head down in shame losing 5 of the 6 times and that only win came from a shan kmissed 23 yard field goal by Saints in overtime. Keep holding your head down in shame Kroy!! If you take your anger out on the saints and not sweetie, maybe you would be an all star defensive lineman!!!!!

I didn’t know what show to watch….Oprah’s Next Chapter with the Houston’s or RHOA. I decided on RHOA and DVR Oprah’s show. Both were really good shows to watch last night. I’m still heated that someone would post those funeral homes pictures without the approval of the Houston family. LOW DOWN DIRTY DOG! As if the family didn’t give enough to have the funeral on TV.
Moving on to RHOA~ Man, that Bryson is something else and BEYOND SLOW LOOKING, ACTING AND TALKING. Everything about him screams so SLOW. Amazing how NeNe can talk about Kim raising her kids but yet Bryson stealing razors (ARE YOU SERIOUS?) from Wal-Mart. Totally a DUMMY! Funny, how Peter didn’t want Malorie to ride in the limo but the limo never showed up. KARMA coming back from being so ugly to her. You know Peter was Wrong for calling out Malorie like that. That was so low, childish and uncalled for. Be a MAN Peter and get some MONEY while you at it! What the Hell was Kandi thinking to wear that short dress like that? That dress was shorter than a pair of shorts. She too BIG to be dressing like that. Marlo, you showed your tail in South Africa and now you acting like you forgot what you said. I see Lawrence confronted you like the man you are! I wonder is Marlo paying for escort services, cause Dave looked odd and almost like Marlo paid him to come to the party with her.

Good Day Fan!!!!

This has got to be the weakest season of RHOA. Peter is such a clown. He really needs to grow up. Sheree needs to stop being so messy and get a side hussle, so she can afford a house and some furniture. I like the new & improved Nene, but without her loud and over the top antics it makes the RHOA boring . I see Marlo met her match with Miss. Lawrence. I didn’t think she was the type to backdown with her record and all.

Props out to Peter for clowning his sister-in-law at the party. Her outlandish antics at the Thomas wedding justified his actions. I’m sure both acts were staged by producers; but, they were both entertaining.

This to me was the best episode all season. I’m certainly no fan of Peter (matter of fact he makes my skin crawl he’s SUCH a loser–and Cynthia’s definitely lacking in the brain to pick such a loser for a husband); but her sister Mallory has gone way too far. I get that she sees what everyone else does about old’ ‘pimp’ Peter. But she’s gonna have to allow Cynthia to discover it on her own. She’s beginning to make me think she’s secretly jealous of Cynthia. (almost looks and acts like the woman who portrayed the jealous sister in the “Bodyguard” movie starring Whitney Houston). Why wasn’t she with her own husband?

Now on to Kim. She’s known Sweetie for twelve years, yet all of a sudden she claims Sweetie’s work ethics are so intolerable. Give me a break Kim!. We all know it’s because Kim thinks she’s suddenly “high society”, (can’t turn a ‘ho’ into a housewife Kim). And she’s uncomfortable with Sweetie being so close around Kroy. (Kim, the ‘ho’ remembers all the years she was mistress to Big Papa). Kim, do you really think we’re too dumb to see how you’re trying to mask your real issues with Sweetie with this ’she’s lazy’ bulls***. (You’ve known for 12 years that she’s lazy). This serves Nene right for recommending Kim for the RHOA.

I still can’t stand old ’suga mamma’ Kandi with her fake, messy a** self. (Another ‘ho’. And winning a Grammy doesn’t change that fact). Dress so high up her a** she look like a slut/hooker. I can’t stand that bit**h. At least the other ho’s don’t try and fake it. Did anyone else notice that despite how much Marlon got on Kandi’s nerves in S. Africa, Kandi was too willing and open to Marlo hooking her up with someone. (Desperate bit*h).

Sheree: You are very messy…you are a s— starter
Kim: how can you trust Sheree after all she did to you? You’ve known Sweetie for 12 years, yet you’re ready to get rid of her. Why? I think you should have a talk with her instead of talking about her, remind her of her job description and what you expect from her, if she doesn’t heed to the warning let her go . Your life is not that hected that you can’t take care of your own baby thats what housewives do.

Kim treats Sweetie like a slave and if I were her, Kim would’ve been on her own a LONG time ago…Kim’s dad said he would’ve fired Sweetie a long time ago, but who would’ve pampered Kim’s lazy fat a$$?…what does Kim do all day that she’s always so tired and stressed?

Please, do not make Marlo, a permanent RHOA, member, I cannot stand her HO____ish, a__. I think we have enough s__t, without adding whatever she is. If you need another housewife, ask Lisa, to come back. better her than someone like Marlo. I am tired of lowlifes and Marlo is definitely one.

Did anyone notice that none of the brothers in Peter’s circle gave NeNe a second look as she twirled around them? Now that says a lot! In my opinion, she just needs to get back with Greg because no respectable brother would have her after this show.
I’m so over Kim! Would someone please replace her already and take Sweetie wearing the pink lipstick with her.
There is no hope for Sheree, so no need to comment.
Marlo knows how to get her hustle on and I’m not even mad at her. Work it girl, work it!
Looks like Kandi will be using her own toy line! I find it so ironic that someone that toots her own horn about the bedroom spends every night in it alone.
Cynthia, you are caught up in a really messy situation. It is so silly that Peter insists on embarrassing your sister in public. At some point, someone is going to have to be the adult and let it go. They don’t have to like each other, but they do have to respect each other.

If you are wondering why you favorite network show is getting cancelled it is because they can make trash like this for pennies on the dollar compared to shows like The Good Wife, The Mentalist, Greys Anatomy, Big Bang Theory, The Office, How I met your mother, Community, Grimm, etc… The networks will continue to follow the lead of bravo and replace well written and acted features listed above with poorly scripted trash like the housewives. Do you really want your must see TV Thursday to be Jersey Shore, Mob Housewives, The Bachelor, and Big Brother back to back? That is where we are heading. Psych, Mad Men, Walking Dead, Louis, are all on cable channels instead of networks to save money. The Networks do not want to pay top dollar to the shows or the actors. The future is reality TV 24×7 if we keep supporting trash like the housewives.

So if I’m not mistaken. Marlo was supposedly dating Charles Grant. Who I believe made a comment on Kandi internet show that people in Atlanta are always faking. He said something about seeing a girl with a Gucci purse and red bottome shoes driving a Honda. But didn’t he get arrested for writing bad checks in South Georgia somewhere? So who’s faking??? I’m Marlo left him because he is a wanna be baller…

Great post Radar, can’t stand Kandi either. Always playing all sides gossipping and starting crap. The worst type of friend. Youngest of these RHOA and it shows. She also quickly confirmed Sheree’s “throw under the bus” of Marlo when the same was done to her by Shreee. why even agree with Sheree at this point. And Sheree just trying to find herself and importance and/or income as she really has nothing left to offer. I mean, it’s no wonder Bob Whitfield was done with this…what a terrible mistake Bob. Marlo: no need to be afraid to tell the truth, lol. Miss Lawrence? okay, big deal. Not like you said his/her name, but it was said in heat of moment. Would have been better if you told the truth. why play childish games with Sheree, you could be better than this.

I read on mediatakeout Kandi was dating the camera man on RHOA. They posted pics of the couple. A couple of weeks later this guy’s girlfriend was on twitter dogging Kandi out.

Mallory, you need to let it go. Millions of us see what you see and agree. However, the deed is done. The more you ‘protest’, the longer the union.

I had a loved one that married the ‘wrong’ person. She was so gung-ho and her mind was made up. I couldn’t stand him, but I came to accept him after they got married. Fast forward years later, they ended up divorced. Why? Because the same misgivings I had before the wedding became magnified AFTER the wedding. Even though my loved one put up a good face in ‘public’, it turns out that behind closed doors, she was incredibly miserable. The bow finally broke and that cradle came crashing down.

Sometimes, folks just have to see it for themselves!

Sheree is trying to keep mess going because she does not have a side hussle and the show is all she has. Phaedra has her law practice, Kandi receives song royalties,Kim has an NFL Player, and Nene is branching out into other entertainment medians.

Speaking of Nene, she is a lot calmer this season. Either she is checking out on the show mentally or she has met her Dr. Feelgood.

While Kandi has lost weight since the beach scene in Miami at the beginning of the season, that does not mean she can sport that too short, too tight Simply 7 dress she had on last night. The first 10 seconds of footage of her showed her pulling it down, which was a complete waste of time because with every step she took or slightest move she made it rode right back up because IT WAS TOO SMALL!!!!

Miss Lawrence beats the mess out of Sheree’s weave! (That’s a good thing in case you’re wondering). You can tell when she’s in between visits. Instead of building fake houses and clothing lines she needs to find a way to keep him on call 24/7.

Sheree is a she-man lookin’ heifer with sooo much hater-aid it’s not funny, now she’s kissing Kim ass and starting sh*t. by lying on Kandi, because when they replayed the scene, it clearly showed Cynthia was the one who made the statement, but I guess that goes to show you ,you can’t take the ghetto and jealousy out of Sheree. Kandi is the real boss and Sheree is a want to be. Cynthia is a weak talking out of the side of your mouth bi*ch. You talked about Marlo behind her back and contradicted everything in her face (kiss ass) and let’s not even talk about your disrespectful ass husband, who left you hanging at your grand opening. Karma is a bi*ch and you and Sheree are going to reap. Kandi I wish you the best in your endeavors, and much love for you and your family.

If Sweetie is truly an employee and not just a hired hand for the RHOA show, she should take complaints to the EEOC for a hostile work environment. Where I come from, being called the B word by “the boss” is not normal and would be very intimidating and demeaning. Contact the EEOC, Sweetie.

Malorie is worried about Peter using Cynthia’s money for his businesses (that fail). I don’t blame her for watching Cynthia’s back. Sheree is just gossiping to stir up trouble since her fashion line and acting careers have failed.

LOL at the person who said Marlo and Peter are same people. Kandi needs a stylist–for both her hair and wardrobe. I didn’t see the episode but she’s always wearing clothing that is too tight and short, and her hair always looks a mess. Maybe she should try wearing her hair in a natural style and get rid of the fugly weaves. Or, she could at least hit Sheree’s stylist up. There is nothing wrong with Kandi’s body. The problem is she doesn’t dress her body in an attractive way.

Cynthia and Peter are like Whitney and Bobby. Regards of what you all think, they obviously love each other so leave them alone.

On the flip side, people wake up and see Malorie for what she is. She’s really jealous of her sister Cynthia who seems to be a lot happier . I believe deep down Malorie feels she would have been a better housewife of Atlanta. If you pay attention she’s always trying to steal the show with all her emotional drama.

So much mess—-all of them a two-faced. Sweetie has low class to put up with that mess from Kim. Kroy is headed for a ripp-off once Kim really sink him in. Sheree stirs it up and stands back. It’s a shame that Cynthia has to stoop so low for no-good Peter. He has nothing to offer her. She is desperate to have a man. Marlo is in Another World–Nene can make sense when she really wants to. Kandi is boarder line to stiring it up. Mrs. Lawyer (however you spell that name) is right behind Marlo with all the material things. Just money being wasted on purses, shoes, hair and etc. Acting like a bunch of women when they get together—it’s always a DRAMA.

Phaedra: Please stop pushing up those teenie, weenie tattas. They looked crazy in that blue dress.
Sheree: You went straight back to high school with all that ‘run-tell-dat’ crap you stirred up. And who shows up 2 hours after a party starts. Its wasn’t a club. How rude of you and whatever his name is.
NeNe: I like the high road you are taking lately! Keep up the good work.
Kandi: Please lose a few more pounds before you wear another dress like that.
Cynthia: I’ve had those blinders on for a man bc as you said ‘he can put it down’. In the end that won’t be enough. See him as he is! He was wrong to exclude your sister at the party.
Kim: I’m with the others who have said it on here. Two housekeepers, a nanny, what the heck are you doing all day. You don’t even take the time to breastfeed your own child. Are you so selfish that you would deny him that bonding time with his mother. Yeah, you pump for him, but that is definitely not the same thing. I agree it may be time for Sweetie to move on, but don’t blame her for you not doing a dang thing all day, but yelling for someone else to do what you should be doing.

I guess even death isn’t sacred anymore. The business of Phaedra and the funeral home, and her mom making jokes about the dead just makes me sick. Who would entrust their loved ones to people like this? Reality TV may be entertaining, but it is trash TV. And just think, there’s a whole generation of young people who are growing up watching these shows (Teen Mom …etc.), and it’s shaping their behavior and ideas. I’m turning the channel …

I was hoping Marlo was just going to admit the truth. Hated to see her lying. You don’t owe Sheree an explanation, just Lawrence. She was angry and said what she said.. She said many many ugly things talking through her liquor. I would have respected her more to just admit she said it and take the heat and move on, then Sheree couldn’t get so much glory. Obviously her and Sheree had squashed some of their differences for them to even be able to have that much of a civil conversation.

Cynthia, the first thing a jealous, self conscious controlling man does is rip u away from your family. Family makes you stronger and that is the last thing Papa smurf wants you to be is strong. Malorie is forever your sister, Peter is broke today and tomorrow. Your mom said things about him too, are you going to tell her not to ride in the invisible limo too. I don’t even think the old man who lived in a shoe was talking to anyone on the phone like he is the fake one. Faking he all about business.

I’m assuming that the rating for this episode is due to competing shows on other networks, including the Oprah interview with Bobbi Christina, Desperate Housewives (the final season), Army Wives (one wife will die), and the Good Wife. For once in a long time, television now has a set of shows worth watching.

That was a very pretty dress that Marlo had on at the party

There is absolutely nothing wrong with watching these trainwreck programs as long as viewers realize IT”S A SHOW! Yes these ‘ladies’ are crass and ghetto because that is the role the writer/producers have crafted for them. I went to college in Atlanta and never encountered women like this.

I take issue with the ignorant posters who seem to think all Black women act this way. Do all White women act like the materialistic, self-absorbed tramps of the Orange County or New Jersey versions? Of course not! The asinine generaliztions many of the ajc posters make is quite sickening! I was unaware they had Internet service in the trailer park. (Wait a sec, did I just make a generalization? :)

Its a shame that Kandi could buy all of these people and she is the one who consistently looks the worst in terms of her clothes and hair. I respect that Kandi actually worked and made her own money instead of laying on her back and waiting for a baller to come along and prop her up (KIM, SHEREE) but she needs to stop fooling with these messy people.

Kim employs someone to do every little thing for her from curling her hair to raising her kid to cleaning her house and cooking her food. She can’t even register her own kids for school? Girl please. Kroy, you are a damn fool. I cannot believe that a 25 year old professional athlete couldn’t find a better girl in Atlanta (OR ANYWHERE) than Kim’s old, beat down messy self with 2 kids by 2 different men. She is not attractive in the least. Her hidden talents must be extraordinary.

The thing that Cynthia does not get is that you can’t badmouth your man to your family or let them witness him acting a fool and expect them to be quiet … I don’t blame her sister for pointing out that he’s an a__hole every chance she gets because Cynthia always wants to run to them and cry when he screws up. Cynthia is a big part of the reason there is so much discord in that situation.

Toodle Poodle. Kandi may have made her own money but not totally from not laying on her back. Rumor has it that she at one time laid on her back for Jermaine Dupri. So she’s just as whorish as the rest of them. Her dressing choices makes that obvious. Next season she’ll have her new beau (a Bravo camera man she stole from his girlfriend) tagging alongside his sugar mama. How said that she’s so desperate for a man that she’d stoop so low as to ‘buy’ one.

Ok is it just me but no body mentioned the fact the party was Peters idea, yet he had to borrow money from his wife. Come on he needs to stop fronting they could have spent $10000.00 on a nice vacation somewhere. However Peter is all about show and this is what it was. Also for Kim.. I mean she really does not do anything nor have a side business so now she is to get the Mother of the Year award. When she went on tour who took care of her kids??? Not the maids, or nanny, but Sweetie!. Also with Marlo can we say high priced call girl! I mean that is another name for gold digger. Sheree I don’t like this bitter starting stuff person, but she ain’t got nothing else going on.. How I love Phedra and her ways. I did like Kandi last season but now she is kind of boring, and just I don’t know… NeNe never cared for her and still don’t. Nuff said.

I think Sheree is jealous of the stardom and success of her co-stars. She is brassy, country and broke. Why is Kim decorating a house she does not own? NeNe, Lord help her…cover up the sagging “puppies.” No taste and tacky always talking about designer labels. Why would one want to make the designers richer? Ten years from now I bet they will wish they had the money in the bank. When I come into real money, I know how not to “act”(LOL)

Brice’s run in with the law is a cry for attention. Greg is no longer living there, Nene is pursuing other TV and business opportunities all over the country, traveling to Africa, etc. so the child is home alone and probably feels abandoned. Seems no one has time for him. Acting out in that way is a pretty clear indication that he feels abandoned.

The trip to South Africa was inspiring but overall this season has been hit or miss. I do think that if Nene leaves too, the ratings will plummet even more
