- Tonight, it's part three
of The Real Housewives of Atlanta Reunion.
Drew, are you, or are you not, Michael Jordan's cousin?
- In my head, absolutely!
- In your head? [laughing]
- I said you could have ruined my engagement.
- You would've played a part in sabotaging
your own engagement. - It-- you would have ruined my shit.
- I kissed Kandi in the club. You kissed Kandi in the club.
- Y'all-- y'all, what we're not gonna do.
- Charles, do you remember meeting Phaedra?
- No.
- I've been in several rooms with him.
- That's not meeting me, though.
- Drew had mentioned
that you was tryin' to holler at her, too.
- Wow!
- I never!
- Charles, when did you date our friend, Sheree?
- Okay, Andy. - What?
- Everybody wanna know about me.
What about y'all?
I'm the only husband here.
Where y'all husbands at?
- Whoo!
- Part three of "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" Reunion,
starts now.
**
Shamea, I saw Porsha did a birthday post for you.
- Yeah, that was really sweet.
- And she continued her smear campaign
right after that. - I did not.
- Why are you fighting with me?
- Because you're lying, and you're wrong.
- And you don't think you've been lying, too?
And you're wrong, too. - About what?
What have I lied about? - You-you posted about my mom,
sayin' she did somethin' egregious to your mom.
- She absolutely did. - First of all,
why are you even bringing up my mom? - And you know she did.
- What-what did she do? - Girl, I've never.
- You told-- okay-- - And anytime people ask me about your mom...
- This is what I'm not gonna do.
- ...I say, "That's not my business."
- What happened?
- My mom and her mom, they were best friends.
They were both in the childcare industry,
and they both, you know,
gave tips to each other back and forth.
My mom found her location was going under foreclosure,
and her mom went behind my mom's back,
and she bought it as soon as it went on foreclosure. Her--
- That's-that's not how that went down.
- That is absolutely true. Stop.
This is how my mom found out
that her mom bought her best friend's business--
When we drove past it. - Hmm.
- And they were taking down my mom's sign--
puttin' up her mother's sign.
- They weren't talkin' for years
prior to my mom buying that business, Porsha.
- That's absolutely not true.
- You're lying, right now. - Shamea, that is not true.
- They were not talking for some other stuff that happened.
- Great lie-- great-- - But I don't wanna speak on.
- Another great lie. That's not true. - Because-- Girl...
- Why did they initially-- - I-I don't wanna speak on it
'cause then it's really gonna go left.
- So, even after our mothers-- - Okay, it sound--
Okay, hold on. - That mom stuff is deep-rooted.
- Okay, I under--
I-I-I understand.
I'm not gonna even ask about it. - No, no, no.
- I think the mom thing, conversation, should stop.
- Okay, but here's-- - Yeah.
- It shouldn't even come up, honestly now.
- Okay, hold on. Hold on. - Yeah, it's-it's not good.
- There's a few things happening here.
- Hmm.
- There is chatter that happened
behind each other's backs. Okay.
- Not each other's. - Okay, okay.
- No, each other's, for sure, 'cause she loves to--
- I didn't talk behind your back. - ...sit over there
and chatter with Brit.
- Okay, hold on. Hold on! Hold on. - That was--
She was just coming to tell me what you said.
- Just so you know, Shamea, Brit was the one that said
that you were showin' text messages.
- She showed me text messages between the two of you guys
that said you were dealin' with your divorce,
and your attorney said this is the best time
where you to deal with yourself.
- In that moment, Porsha kinda, like, let it go.
Y'all's stuff goes back before this show.
- We have a beautiful relationship
prior to this show. - Yes.
- We did. - Once we started filming,
she took it to the left. - Okay, hold on. Hold on.
- I took it to the left. It was all me.
- Hold on.
Is there anything that happened during the season
that you can apologize for,
or take ownership for, right now?
- Yes, absolutely. - Okay, let's hear it.
- I apologize. I do own talking about
my friendship problems with Porsha to these ladies.
- Okay. - Why?
- Because I wish I had a third party there.
- I never ran it back. - I wish I had somebody on my side.
- I never took it back. - Y'all said she feels
the friendship was lopsided,
but these are things that y'all were feeling.
- And that's what I said. - Girl, this-- I can't.
- I said I think-- - No, but when y'all said it--
No, but when it was taken-- - I said I think--
- Hold on, but when it was taken to Porsha,
it was said, like, this is how I feel.
- When we went to lunch, there was never a question
asked to you by me or Angela
about the nature of your relationship with Porsha.
It almost felt like you needed to get this out,
like you found a safe space to share.
- Well, I never took it back. - I said something because--
- You took it back wrong. - So, my point is that--
- No. - ... you had us pinky swear
because you wanted to divulge this,
and it was something heavy on you.
- And you said she was concerned about the commenters, the fans.
- So, the pinky swear represented, like,
please don't repeat this. - And she didn't know what they think.
- Okay, all right.
It almost sounds to me like you have had a harder time
with what's happened after the show.
- Yes, there's a friendship group that we have,
a private friendship group,
right? - Yeah.
- There are two ladies from that friendship group--
she told them that I didn't want her to be a peach holder,
that I didn't congratulate her.
So, our private friends are echoing the same thing
that you've said here.
- These ladies have come to me and told me
that you did not want me on the show,
that you wanted me as a friend of the show.
- That is not true. Now, you are lying.
Andy, have I always wanted Shamea to be on the show
as a housewife? - Yes, yes, yes.
- Yes. So, moving on from that,
now I'm watching live interviews.
Someone ask you, where does our friendship stand?
You said, "Well, now that I have a peach, it's different."
Well, why? - It is.
- I've never talked about you, Shamea.
And now, I'm watching interviews of you saying
I didn't want you on the show.
- I didn't have to. You-- - You sang the show of I was trying to sabotage
your marriage... - You-- that's what you did.
- ...or your engagement, or whatever.
- Girl, are you serious, right now?
Y'all had that conversation together, sayin'
that I was screwin' Kandi and Todd.
I didn't do that to myself. - Okay,
but nobody was sabotaging your marriage.
- I said you could have ruined my engagement.
- Listen, you would have played at part-- - Had he listened to you two--
- --in sabotaging your own engagement, at that time. - You would have ruined my shit!
- Okay but this is the thing.
- I kissed Kandi in the club. You kissed Kandi in the club.
- Y'all-y'all-- what we're not gonna do.
- Because this is the thing-- that happened in 2016.
- And she's talking about it in interviews now.
- Yeah, okay, but no, no, no, but no, no.
- You just did an interview. - All these people bring this shit up.
- Okay, hold on. - You brought up all this stuff from ten years ago.
- I don't go around trying to talk about you, girl.
- Hold on! - These people ask me questions. - You're nasty.
I do just as many press as you do, okay? - Yeah. yeah. I do more.
- And possibly more because I've been on the show
a little bit more, right? - Mmm.
- And that wasn't a dig, so, no, it doesn't need a, "Mmm."
- It's kind of a dig a little bit.
- It was a dig, but, okay, go ahead.
- What I'm saying is,
I've been asked the exact same questions
that you were being asked,
and I've never disparaged our relationship.
I thought we had a beautiful friendship.
You're whispering here and there.
- I thought we had a great friendship, too,
but then I found out
that you didn't come to the wedding in Kenya
because we were beefing. - All right.
Kelli, you and Shamea have become very close,
I know that. - Yes.
- What's your reaction to-to this?
- Me and Shamea have built a beautiful bond,
a beautiful friendship with each other,
and I always tell her I really hope and pray
that her and Porsha can just figure this all out.
I just want you to tell her how you really feel.
This is your moment to tell her.
- Yeah, I'm hurt. I'm hurt now. - This is not her moment.
You know what her moment was?
- It is her moment. - When we had our one-on-one.
- Let her have her moment. It's her moment.
- You know when her moment was? - It's her moment.
- When I called her, and I talked to her about it.
- It's her moment. Let her have her moment.
- Now, it's a beat up on-- oh, girl, you know what?
This is so-- Girl. - Nobody is beating up on you.
Porsha, let her have her moment. - Continue.
- When we sat one-on-one, I thought we had a clean slate,
and we were moving forward in the right direction.
- Seemed like it.
- Then I noticed she was distancing herself from me,
even down around Londie's funeral time.
I'm reachin' out. I'm like, "Hey, can we link up?"
- Girl, I'm grieving. I didn't go--
- I-I-I understand, and I'm not trying to discredit that.
- So... [sighs] - All I'm tryin' to say is,
I continued to try to reach out,
to hang out, and hook up-- See, even that, like,
it's that kind of stuff that's--
- 'Cause you're just using things against me.
- Do you see what I'm saying? - Can you ever phrase a sentence
without trying to make me look bad?
- She always feels like I'm using stuff against her
when really I'm just trying to express myself.
- Okay.
- I'm not here to try to hurt Porsha, right?
That-- I'm not here to, like she said,
try to sabotage her. - Too late.
- This is so difficult to even just have a conversation.
- Okay.
- I wouldn't have even known that there was any beef
unless Cynthia didn't tell me.
I told Porsha, like, what Brit had done.
After that, I saw them hanging out, them posting.
I'm like, all right, cool. She's made her decision.
- A decision had nothin' to do with her.
- So, it made me feel like-- - What you did,
was what you did. - Okay, all right.
- You didn't go be friends with Kelli
because we're not friends.
You're friends with Kelli because you like Kelli.
- I think the friendships a little different.
- Well, I think it's odd for you to go sit
after you and Brit had the conversation about me.
- I think your friendship with Brit is very calculated.
Brit's not your friend.
Brit could care less about what you got going on.
- Hold on. Hold on. Hold on.
Cynthia, where can these two go?
[sighs] - You guys,
the love is there, but there's--
it just feels like
the healing hasn't happened. - Mm-hmm.
- And then when you come on a platform like this,
everything is magnified. - Exactly.
- And if that foundation is not solid,
you guys are going to crack. It just is what it is.
Just take baby steps to walk back toward each other.
Please don't throw this friendship away.
- Is there something that you need to hear
from each other that would help either of you?
- No.
This year was the most difficult year ever.
It really was.
I'm literally at the bottom...
Okay?
So, at this space and time in my life,
I wanna be exactly where I feel comfortable,
and I do not feel comfortable within my friendship with Shamea,
as I'm sure she doesn't feel comfortable with me either.
I am only human, and I can only do so much,
and I don't have anything else to offer to this, right now.
- All right. - That's real.
- Okay, that's real. - How do you take that?
[chuckles] - So, I think that's the difference
between the two of us because even at times
where I didn't have the bandwidth to deal with it
because I had my own shit happening,
I would find the bandwidth to deal with it
because I had that type of love for Porsha.
So much so, to where people call me her lapdog.
- Okay. - So, it hurts me
that she thinks I came on the show to sabotage her.
Ultimately, I just want peace for both us, you know.
- You take that?
- Oh, yes.
- Yay. - All right. Okay.
Shamea, I think, you know,
one of the lessons of this season and tonight
is that when you feel a certain way,
I think, for your own benefit,
you have to figure out a way to vocalize it.
- Yeah. - Don't laugh it off.
If you're hurt, it's okay to be hurt.
- Because it's diverting in a million different ways,
but it still exists,
and for your friendships with Porsha and everybody else,
it's only gonna suit you to say,
"You really pissed me off when you did that.
I'm hurt." - Yeah.
- So you can move forward, and it's the backbone
of an honest relationship, you know.
- Yeah, I-I own that.
I accept that, um, and I'm gonna work on that.
I think that, um, naturally,
just when I got a lot happening in my life,
I just don't have it in me, right?
So, I choose to just move past it.
I'm gonna sweep it under the rug, and it's okay.
It's coping, right?
'Cause it's like, I don't have it to deal with it now.
- I know, but it-- you see how that plays out.
- True. - Yeah.
Coming up next...
- To me, it became a little weird
just because Drew had mentioned
that you was tryin' to holler at her, too.
- Wow!
**
- Hey, Dennis.
How do you think today's gonna be?
- Man, you know, when the girls beefin', man,
you gotta stay out of it.
You know, you gotta let women handle their own business.
But I'm here to support baby mama and Drew.
That's family, man.
We're gon' keep it positive, and we're gon' keep it movin'.
- We are back with The Real Housewives of Atlanta Reunion.
Drew, this season, we watched you battle
with a divorce that seems to have no end in sight
and an ex-husband that is banished in the basement.
- We're talkin' about you. - Will you be able
to sing your way out of this sad song?
Let's watch.
- I consider this the lower level penthouse.
- Ralph being banished in the basement,
I was expecting him to take that opportunity to move out
and do the things that really excite him,
which is being out in the streets.
I am officially going to sign my recording deal.
This is a time to celebrate all of the hard work.
Allegedly, you told Porsha that I wanted to get with you
in exchange for free studio time.
[laughing]
- I don't know why you would listen to that.
You know, we do real business,
we don't talk about allegedly.
- This is all fabricated lies, yet again.
- A serial cheater,
taking, uh, money out of your account.
- Tracking me. Mm-hmm. - Oh, tracking you?
All that's private,
but when the case gets unsealed, it's out.
- Oh.
The judge's ruling was to unseal our divorce case.
He still gets the basement.
Is this a joke?
- I don't have to leave!
- Idiot, you're a dumbass. I want you to know that.
- The courts didn't take the kids into consideration.
- Yeah.
- They're not even listening to me anymore.
- Okay, okay. - I'm sorry.
- I didn't know that my kids are not the same.
[exhales]
- So, Drew, since that conversation with your mom
about your kids, have you seen any improvement
in their behavior?
- Well, since then, the kids are all, uh, in therapy.
I took that step, too. - Good.
- That's good. - Good. - Mm-hmm.
- Yeah, and I can say that, um, it's helping.
- Yeah. - As a mom,
all you want, is the best for your kids.
- Yes.
- And I started to even tell myself, like,
this is normal. - Yeah.
- You know what I mean? There's no dysfunction here.
So, for my mom to come in and be an outsider looking in,
it was, like, very apparent for her.
- Yeah.
- Ralph tweeted that your mom needed to watch her mouth
because after your dad's death,
she spent all his money, and Ralph had to bail her out.
- These men, ya know, they get disrespectful in a divorce.
- Wow, that's a lot. - Uh, that was a new low.
My father was a prominent pediatrician
in the city of Chicago.
You're now coming against his legacy.
My mom had an anxiety attack.
You know, my martial issues start to affect my mom.
- Yeah. - A whole new storm.
- There was a-- there was a recent clip
of you and Ralph cooking together.
- Mm-hmm. Oh, yeah. - Uh, that went viral.
You two seemed really happy.
- That video was an effort of us trying to coparent,
but the caption he wrote was alluding to, like,
"oh, she called me Daddy in the kitchen, off-camera,"
which never happened.
So, he took that moment that could have been positive
for us to move into this new normal of coparenting,
and he used it to make it appear to be
something that it just-- it wasn't.
- I honestly thought it was cute to see
you guys just being happy. - Me, too. I ain't gonna lie.
I mean-- yeah. - Yeah.
- Not thinking, oh, you know, they should get back together,
but it just was nice to see you guys
havin' fun together. - Yeah.
- And livin' in a house with man who cook,
girl, get your food.
- You said the steaks were pretty good.
- I've always loved the meat, not the sausage meat,
but I love the ribeye.
- Oh, my God. - And it was good.
- At some point, he gon' come upstairs.
[laughing]
- And-and we know divorces can be long, hard, and dry.
- Right. [laughing]
- That at some point, you're gon' be--
- Oh, so, you thought, oh, okay.
- He might come up the stairs after 12.
- Or, she may go downstairs. - Yeah.
[laughing]
- He has cameras in the basement,
first and foremost. - Oh.
- Right? Right!
- Loni from Philadelphia said,
"Drew, the judge has given you and Ralph
the weirdest court orders,
from having Ralph live in the basement,
to avoid telling the kids you're divorcing.
What the hell is that about?" - Yeah.
- It's in the order.
It's public record. Y'all can go read it.
- It's normal, by the way.
As soon as you file for divorce,
everything's in a stay.
I lived upstairs with my ex. - From Kordell, yeah.
- Uh-huh, from my ex-husband. - Yeah.
- But you recently said he had a woman down there.
- With you there?
- Girl, when I'm there, when I'm not there,
because-- - Oh, my.
- You've seen someone on the camera in the basement,
a woman?
- You can get the manifesto.
- It's a gated community?
- Yeah, gated community,
so everyone that comes through,
you have to give your I.D.,
and we get an alert on the portal.
- So, you saw the picture and the driver's license.
- I saw the name-- - Nuh-uh!
- And I looked her up on Instagram.
- What?
- And when I went to lunch, uh, at Aniya's school,
she was there.
- What? - Wow.
- And so-- - Not the parents.
- It's a teacher. - The-- he's--
The woman, long story short,
was mean-mugging me and approached me.
- Oh, my. - "Like, what's your name?"
- Uh-uh... - Ma'am.
- Coming up next...
- I met you at Niq's wedding.
- I was there. - Okay, one second.
- That's not meeting me.
- We are back with
"The Real Housewives of Atlanta" reunion.
Uh, Tridarious from Mansfield, Texas said,
"Why don't any of the women in this group
show any compassion for Drew during her divorce?
None of the women have checked on her, except for Angela,
but everyone is quick to show compassion towards Porsha."
- I was really actually hoping that
you and I could have hit it off
a little bit more. - Mm-hmm.
- I think, towards, the end,
it was kinda more of a connection.
Don't give me that face. - No, you didn't, Kelli.
No, you didn't. - I-I didn't really feel that.
- I did-- Okay, now, Angela, stay out of it.
- I didn't feel that at all.
- This is a divorced woman conversation.
- Okay, no, I want no parts. I want no parts.
- I mean, it sounds good,
and I appreciate you saying that today,
but I feel like, you know, you really didn't
give us the chance to get to know each other.
You were just, like, throwing these things out
and being real loud and spicy to me,
and I'm like, girl, you don't even know me,
throwing out the liar narrative.
- I didn't even hear anything.
- Well, you said the liar,
but it felt like you were trying for a moment.
- I wasn't trying for a moment. - It-it felt like it.
- I never need a moment.
Let's clear the air on why I considered you a liar.
When you came to my Balmain event,
and we were at The Bank,
you said you purchased something.
- Oh. - You did not purchase anything.
- And I did. - You did not.
- I have purchased multiple things.
Not at the event. They did not have his size.
- So, you did not. - So, I talked to the shopper.
He found the size.
So, we were texting. - Okay, so, it was--
- When he found the size--
- So, the thing went through later.
Okay. - Thank you.
- And I'm not trying to speak for Kelli,
but I will say, the thing of the event was,
if you purchase at the event,
some of the proceeds go to osteogenesis imperfecta.
- Correct. - I arrived to the event--
- Even Porsha spent her attorney money over there.
- I-I purchased it, and I showed you.
Had you had a real conversation and said,
"Well, it didn't go a part of the foundation,"
I could have made sure that it did,
or made a donation to your found--
- But that's what I was saying, Drew.
- But you didn't even-- but you were--
- Nope. - Okay, it sounds like you're both right.
She didn't purchase it at your event.
Okay. - You ain't got no-- girl.
- Oh, my God. - Okay, Drew,
are you, are you not Michael Jordan's cousin?
[laughing] - Okay, so...
- Yeah, that's what I wanted to know.
- ...In my head, absolutely.
- Not in my head. - In your head?
- My-- and y'all gotta laugh a little more
'cause my last name is Drew Jordan.
- You were dead-ass serious. [laughing]
- It's a joke, guys.
- Um, Lona from D.C. said,
"Shamea, why was it okay for you to twist Drew's words
regarding Pilar--?" - Mm-hmm.
- "But Angela was held to a higher standard
when she relayed her conversation with Shamea
back to Porsha?"
- These royalties and the way this publishing is set up,
that's gonna pay for PJ's whole college.
- Now, I do know PJ's college has already been paid for.
- How did you take it, how Shamea relayed it back,
versus how you saw it on TV?
- It was cringy, but it-it didn't piss me off.
But the way I had been told you said it,
it-it pissed-- it did piss me off, originally.
- Okay, so, then-- then you know what?
I should-- - And it was going to draw
a bigger wedge between us, honestly.
- I should mind my business and keep my mouth closed.
- Yeah, you should because what actually happened was--
- Because I'm sure, when you said it, you meant it shady,
and you said it shady. - You asked me the question.
- And you jokingly said it. - Yeah, you told--
That's what I'm saying. - Hold on, and you--
- You told me she said it in a shady way.
- Oh, here she go, fighting for her life, honey,
in this friendship. Fighting for her life.
- If y'all are cool with it, I'm cool with it.
I'm gon' mind my business.
- And you should. - I will.
- I mean, moving forward,
it's probably a good idea. - Yeah, I-I will.
- Okay, Elizabeth from Baltimore, Maryland said,
"Drew, you seemed upset that Shamea and Porsha
went out to eat with Ralph.
Is that hypocritical when Porsha felt
it was wrong for you to shoot with Dennis?"
- You sat there and kiki'd with someone
who is publicly humiliating me,
who you have seen his behavior.
Porsha, I came to your birthday party
when we filmed your spinoff.
- Drew!
Hi, baby. - Hi! I missed you.
And you know because I cried to you
about how Ralph left me.
- I thought it was fake, Drew.
- You're not even using your brain
because I called you-- - Oh, well, I mean,
- ...and I talked to you, though.
- I can't keep up with the lies with you and him.
All I'm saying is, I think you guys make--
- There's no lies, honey.
- I'm just saying I think you guys are kinda in cahoots...
- A marriage is not black and white.
- ...when it comes to some of the drama you promote.
- Girl... - Victoria from Brooklyn said,
"Shamea, why did you set up Porsha
to meet with Ralph to get back at Drew?
You don't like her calling you a lapdog,
but that was lapdog behavior." - It was.
I mean, here she done called me a lapdog the whole season.
So, it's like, okay, well, let me act like one.
I mean, initially, it was-- - Girl, let that go.
Please stop saying that about yourself.
- I mean, no, no, I'm-I'm not because she keeps saying it.
And honestly, for me, I just feel like
I'm being a loyal friend, like you were to her.
- No, but that don't--
I'm too big to sit on anybody lap.
- I think we're all loyal friends.
- I'm not sitting in nobody's lap.
Let's start there. - You lie for your friends.
- I think we're all loyal friends to you, though.
- But you do ride with it. You do...
- Well, how big is my lap, Angela? - Girl...
- But-but, Angela, you're riding for--
- She can get on my back and piggyback ride
but not my damn lap, girl.
- She said, "I'm too big to sit on anybody's lap."
- Okay, Twitter said, "Drew, in a recent interview,
you admitted to sending flirty texts to Ty."
- Mm-hmm. - "Her ex also said
you both spoke for an average of 3,000 minutes a month."
- Whew.
- "Is this the main reason you're going to a divorce?"
- Um, we have remained to say that we're friends.
But first of all, I think, if you do the math,
3,000 minutes or whatever
is not really that much time, but, um...
- How much is it? - 3,000 minutes a month?
- Do the math. - Girl, now, I'm married,
and I don't talk to my husband for 3,000 minutes.
- Did we see a receipt on that?
Like, people can throw out things.
Does it always make it true?
- That's about ten minutes a day.
- I would be in a relationship
if I was on the phone with somebody that long.
[laughing]
- Okay.
So, who exactly is Black, and are you dating him?
- Um, he is a friend, like I said before.
He owns the number one hookah company in the world,
and that's my friend.
- What would be the issue if they were dating?
- At the end of the day, do your thing.
Y'all have been divorcing for a while.
- There's never an issue. - When I heard--
- You two were--
- Nobody would be upset if you were.
- You two were Facetiming a lot back stage, right?
- We were. And actually, Andy,
can I present everybody with--?
Okay. - Oh, no.
- You got us a hookah, girl? - Is that hookah?
- You got us a free hookah from Black?
[laughing] - I know that's right.
- Okay, look, take one. Pass it around.
- Whoa. - What?
- So, I mean, this makes it seem like you're dating,
if you're promoting his product.
- This is my friend.
He has a lot of friends who promote his business.
- Porsha, this one for you, wedding cake.
- It's no nicotine, no tobacco. - Oh, we can split it.
- Go ahead, go ahead.
- Just joking. - You're welcome.
- Okay, um, Heather from Cambridge, Mass. said,
"Drew, if you were dating someone,
why didn't you just come clean
in order to shut down the rumors
about you wanting the hot dog man?"
- Oh, God, Dennis is not my type.
I mean, if you look at, you know, Ralph,
and you see his physique-- - Black ain't all that either, baby.
- What's that? [laughing]
- Black ain't all that either.
- I mean, how you gonna come for my friend, now?
Why he catching strays? - Well, you're coming for my friend.
You're coming for my friend.
- Get your eyes on back. - Never mind.
- Okay, don't talk about her baby daddy.
- Okay, all right. If you were dating someone,
would you bring them on the show?
- Absolutely. When I have a boyfriend,
I will be so happy to share.
- Or a girlfriend, bring 'em. - I will be-- no, no, no.
Or you 'cause I heard-- you know.
- Oh, yeah, honey, where they at?
If I found me a Ty,
she might be sitting right behind me,
Ty 2.0 and Dennis. - Mm-hmm.
- All right.
Uh, we're gonna leave it there.
- And I have the receipts. - We're gonna take a break,
so we can all sit on Angela's lap.
We'll be right back. - What, now?
- I have receipts about Porsha, uh, being in Buckhead
on a date with a new African girl.
- From who? - Oh, Lord.
- It was some African. Y'all was in Buckhead.
- Oh, it's probably true. - Yeah, I know, girl.
- You know I like my Africans.
- I know, girl. You love your Africans.
- Coming up next...
Did you tell Porsha that Drew wanted to sleep with you?
- Absolutely not.
- Then what was the text, Dennis?
You said, "I'm trying to get money.
I'm not trying to F."
- There you go, there you go. - Okay, okay.
- Okay. - What's up, Phaedra?
How you doin'? - Hi, Ralph. How are you?
- What's up? - Don't sit behind me.
I don't want no shit out of Drew, now.
[laughing]
- Hey, Charles. - Let's clear, please.
Four, three...
- Welcome back to
"The Real Housewives of Atlanta" season 16 reunion.
Joining us are the men. Hey, guys.
- The mens. - Mens.
- Dennis, you and Porsha are not matching tonight.
- Yeah, why?
I sent you a picture of what I was wearing.
- I did my best. - Okay.
Ralph, you have your shirt on tonight.
- Today, yes.
- Okay, all right. [laughing]
We invited Gerald tonight. Where is Gerald?
- He is at home with his kids,
but he sent some beautiful yellow roses.
- To you? - Yes.
- Well, that's nice. - Not to nobody else in here.
[laughing] - Okay.
You couldn't get a sitter?
- No, he's just not-- you know, it's not his thing,
you know. - Okay.
Well, I gotta tell you somethin'.
In all my years doin' the housewives,
never thought I'd see the enforcer here,
Charles Oakley. - The enforcer.
- Okay. - All right, all right.
- Oh.
- Sometimes you need an enforcer,
but I'm here to support my wife.
She gon' kill it,
and I'm gon' kill it. - Aww.
- A lot of stuff-- - Maybe they'll kill you.
- Okay, come on. [laughing]
- Charles.
Questions...
- She ain't got a chance with me.
- Oh. - Andy!
- Let me start with Dennis here.
Dennis, clear this up. - Where he at?
- Did you talk to Porsha about working with Drew?
- We had a small conversation,
but, you know, I talked to Ralph first,
because that's my brother. So, I-I would assume
that Drew would handle the woman side.
- Are you saying you asked me, or no?
- We-we-we talked about working together.
- You told me that?
- We-we-we didn't have an in depth conversation
because I felt like it was Drew's place
to clear that part, you know,
considering we're all friends.
- But you told me you talked to Porsha
because I was expressing to you
that I was trying to call Porsha to have the conversation.
You said, "We had a conversation. She's good."
- He didn't.
I didn't fully confront him about you guys doing anything
until I found out about the filming.
Okay, you-- - But you acknowledge
that I told you that I had something
that I wanted to talk to you about.
- But just say what you wanna talk about.
- But I wanted to have a conver--
- Just say, "Hey..." - But can you acknowledge that?
- "I know we're going into the season.
I'm going to film with Dennis." - But can--
- That's an easy text. - But can you acknowledge
that I made the attempt and you aware?
That's what I'm asking you. - Girl, you could--
I-I-- your attempt to me
was to kiki about the new girls.
- No! - That's--
I have it in text, Drew. - You asked me did I know
anything about the new girls,
and I said, "No, you need to call me,
because I've been telling you I need to talk to you."
- Okay, we-we-we covered this. - No, you s--
Drew, please.
- But you need to acknowledge that.
And Dennis told me that he talked to you.
- Acknowledge what? That you-- that we're friends
who didn't make it to-- meet each other?
- So I don't know what Dennis is on, what kind of time.
- That she was trying to reach out to you.
- And you could have just-- - Yes, that's the point.
- That she was trying to reach out to you.
- And he said that. - But that happens with anybody.
- Okay, all right. - I was busy, she was busy,
I'm in Dubai, she came back to America.
- Trying to bait me when you said that.
- Okay, all right. - The point is,
you should've text, and you already said
that you should've text. - And I apologized for that in Grenada.
- "That I'm going to be filming with Dennis."
- But I'm talking about the attempts that were made.
- That's all it was. Is ask to take--
- But I'm asking you to take accountability
for the attempts that I made, and you just weren't--
- It's not gonna happen. It's not gonna--
- The accountability is for the fact
that you said I shouldn't have texted you
about filming with Dennis, that's all.
- So you're just not gonna take accountability?
- And you already apologized for it,
and I'm already over it. - Okay, you're not gonna take accountability.
- Okay, moving on. - There's nothing to take accountability for.
- On that part, it is. - Okay, moving on.
Moving on. - It's not.
- Moving on. - Moving on.
Dennis, when confronted about mentioning
that Drew wanted to sleep with you
in exchange for music,
you kinda dodged owning up, saying that.
Did you tell Porsha that Drew wanted to sleep with you?
- Absolutely not.
- So, what was the text, Dennis?
- The text read as I'm trying to get some money.
That's what the text was.
- "I'm trying to get money. I'm not trying to F."
That's what the text said verbatim.
- He says...
- Wait a minute. Let me-let me see this.
- Wait a minute, yeah, I-I missed that little part.
- But that, for the record, was not from me.
- Like, Ralph is my friend in real life.
So, to even insinuate a relationship
outside of music is ridiculous,
out of order. I mean-- - So, what were you
responding to when you said, "I don't want no P."
- I don't even know if the text said that
exactly but-- - Oh, it did.
- I saw the text message, you know.
- Okay, what did it say?
- Just exactly what Porsha said.
I didn't know exactly what the relationship was,
but, to me, it became a little weird
just because, you know,
Drew had mentioned that she was--
that you was trying to holler at her, too, you know.
- I never. - Wow.
- I promise you on-- I promise on--
I promise on everything. - You are not gon' come on here
and start your lying.
- No, no, no, I am not gonna--
I'm not gonna-- - Like, you-you--
- I'm not gonna lie about anything.
- Dennis has never been inappropriate.
I never said that to you. - You never said that?
- So, for you to say that out your lying face,
right now, that-that-- - I don't lie.
That's one thing I'm not doing.
- I mean-- - See, no, no,
like, try to do the right thing. You come here.
You got dressed up in your all white.
- It's just that-- - You get your fade clean.
You know, you wanna come for the cameras.
And every time you come here, you do the same thing.
You lie. - Oh.
- And then you play this victim.
It's not cute, bro.
- I don't understand why so much energy, though.
- Oh, you're gonna get all this smoke.
That's what you came here for. - I-I love it, come on.
- Tah. - Okay.
Dennis, do you see yourself
getting back together with Porsha?
- I mean, you know, I love Porsha,
and she's back on the market.
So, you never know. [laughing]
- Um, what's your reaction
to Porsha and Shamea's relationship
over the last year?
- You know, we're family, for real.
Uh, me and Gerald are really good friends.
So, you know, it's sad to see,
but I've been around, also, long enough
to stay out of women's business
because tomorrow they could be cool.
So, that's what I'm hoping for.
- Um, it's been said that you took Brit out on a date.
You bought her a chain. [clears throat]
- He came on the date.
Brought me a diamond necklace as a gift.
- And you slid into Kelli's DMs.
- Dennis was in my DMs.
- What? - Oh.
- I mean, I-I heard what Kelli said,
but she ain't said the rest of the half,
but it's all good.
- Well, what's the rest of the half?
- I mean, Brit was a long time ago, you know,
before I even running around with Porsha.
- What's the rest of the half?
- I-I'm still waiting for the other part.
- I mean, I'm a gentleman. It's all good.
- Ooh. [laughing]
- Well, I mean, that's a-- - Stop it, Dennis.
Let's be very clear. - Okay.
- We ain't never been out, or done anything,
or talked on the phone.
You mighta called once or twice.
- Okay, well, you-you just said,
"We never talked on the phone."
- Well, we-- - But then you said--
"We talked once or twice." - I said, I mean, once or twice.
You know, he might have called,
like, "Hey, you outside?" "No, I'm inside."
- All right. You outside?
- Ahh! - He wanna get inside.
[laughing]
Dennis trying to get inside. - All right.
- I've been-I've been knowing Kelli for a long time.
- More-more about business, though.
Let's be very clear. - Yeah.
- Biz nasty.
- When I'm saying conversations like that,
it's more of that. It's not-- it's nothing
in regards to that. - Okay, okay.
Ralph, uh, Drew revealed that she found out
about you bringing a woman into the basement.
- That's not even true.
- It's not true? - It's not true at all.
Hold on a second, so...
- She told me that she came to the house.
- Anybody that comes into the gate,
that doesn't mean that they came inside of my house, so--
- So, she was just visiting somebody in the neighborhood?
- No, no, no. She came to the house but--
- To your house where Drew lives?
- No, no, no, but she didn't come inside.
- She was outside with Kelli?
[laughing] - No, no, no, because--
No, it wasn't-it wasn't that. - Get outside.
- We were-- we was working on a fitness program.
So, it was all about just fitness content.
- It was fitness content? - Let me just say this.
When these cameras are off, you're, like, you love me.
You know what I'm sayin'?
So, you got this on camera, off camera thing,
and that is really confusing to me.
At the end of the day, man, I love you.
I'm not here to be your enemy.
I just wanna make sure we raise our beautiful kids.
- That's what I'm saying. - That's what is important.
- I know that's right. - We've created something amazing together,
and I love you for that. - Aww.
[applause]
- 'Cause we was mad at you, Ralph, before you came out.
- You were mad at me? - We saw you feeding Drew steak.
- Yeah, that's who we are when there's no cameras.
- Those are great words. So, I appreciate that.
I would love to see those actions
to back up those words.
You know, but the energy that I have
is because of the press tour that you've been on,
tweeting the things about my mom and my dad, and without--
- But you hugged me after that, like-- like--
- But without an apology to follow those words.
- Did you apologize to her for what you said about her mom?
- No.
- Why not?
- Um, I was there when they were in a place
where they lost everything,
and I was there to pick up the pieces.
But if you go through a situation like a divorce,
I think there should be something to where it's like,
"Hey, you know what?
"I'm gonna just stay out of this one.
"I'm gonna-- you know, I-I-- I'm praying for both of you guys
"'cause I love both of you."
- So, you didn't apologize to the mom.
- Oh, but I will.
You know, and-- 'cause it really wasn't--
I think it's more of a conversation.
I think it really is a conversation
that I probably would love to have with your--
uh, with your mother, just because I believe
that, you know, there is a lot there.
I mean, I'm not gonna say that going through a divorce,
I feel like everyone always focuses on the woman,
of course, naturally. It's all about the woman.
But men go through things as well, you know?
Men have their different points where they struggle,
and sometimes they-- they actually say things
that are not nice, you know?
And so therefore, I apologize about
that particular aspect of it, but I do believe
that there is more of a conversation
that could be had, just because I do believe
that we are bigger than that.
I think we've had more of a established relationship.
I-I looked at our text messages from way back in the day,
you know, and there was so much love there.
So, to see that just diminish, it was kinda sad to me,
and it was hurtful. - If I could say,
from Dennis and I's relationship,
and, you know, just as small advice,
and I'm sure you could echo this,
um, we weren't married, but we were engaged,
and so our families were very intertwined.
And at the end of the day, people do choose sides.
You know what I'm saying? And mothers can say things
that they probably should say in the moment,
protecting their child,
because they see their child hurt.
They may not be concerned about the other one.
So, at the end of the day, apology is great,
but Dennis had to do the work
and have a conversation with my mom.
And I had to do the work and have a conversation
with his mom.
And now, because we have a child,
and you guys have kids, that's what has to happen
in order to continue that village for the kids.
So even though it's hard, and pride, and, like, hurt,
and, like, being-- feeling like you're alone
and misunderstood, and, like, what about my side?
We really have to set that aside
to put those kids first, so when you make that call,
just keep your kids in mind first.
- Mm-hmm. - Yeah.
- Just keep your kids in mind, and-and then--
and then just temper what you say before you say it.
And-and I had to do it, Dennis had to do it.
We have worked very hard at this co-parenting relationship.
That's why we're both very protective of it.
Um, but that's just a bit of advice from your friends.
- Yeah, I love it.
- Do you think that Ralph should apologize to her mom?
- I think that that's absolutely needed.
Our mothers, when we are going through a divorce,
oh, my God.
Oh, my God. We, as women-- you guys don't know.
A divorce, a breakup, we would not survive.
- Without our mothers. - We wouldn't.
So, I really-- you know, just out of respect
of her being a grandmother, I would say, yeah.
That's the-- that's the best thing.
- And I-I would just add this, Ralph.
Just be very mindful what you put out on social media,
because then that just brings everybody else into it.
So, I would just say that.
- Charles, have you watched the season?
- Yes, I watched some shows.
[laughing]
- How do you feel Angela did on the show?
- I think she did great.
She cried a couple times, but just telling her,
"Hey, you jumped in the pool. 'You gotta know how to swim."
[laughing]
- Charles, there were a lot of moments
where Angela would be saying to you,
"Do you miss me?"
And you were kinda holding back a little bit,
which I think led to a perception
among some viewers that you don't care for her very much.
- Give me a kiss.
Give me a kiss. [laughing]
- Why do you need a kiss?
I'm not the guy who just be all over Angela on TV.
I don't try to put on for cameras.
And, uh, she know I love her, and I wouldn't be here
if I didn't love her and the kids.
So, hey, keep watching.
- I-I give it to you, a man of your profile, especially.
I mean, you showed up for her over and over.
- 'Cause I'm her husband, and, uh, I fully have her back,
and through thick and thin.
So, it is what it is. - Yeah. Yeah.
Um, Charles, unfortunately, you and your mother in law
had a bit of a rough patch before her passing.
She told Angela that she felt bad,
and she intended to apologize to you, uh,
for the blow up.
How did it feel to see that on camera?
- Um, I hate that it happened with me with her mom,
because I love all the moms in the world,
'cause I have one, and she's 90 years old.
Um, you know-- it's just, you know,
I'm sorry she left us, and, um, in that state of mind.
And, um, I really never had a sit-down dinner,
but I know Angela always told my mom, saying she's sorry.
She loves me, this and that,
so I accept her apology.
- You know, like she--
You know, she's not here, but I-I would give anything
to get my mom back, of course.
- Yeah. - But, I'm happy that,
you know, he got to see on camera her saying
that she loves him. - Yeah.
- That's sweet.
- You know, Charles, a lot of the ladies mentioned
that they didn't know that you were married.
Were you hiding that you had a wife?
- No, I wouldn't hide it.
I don't know who married neither.
I hear that all the time. [laughing]
You know, people be in the streets.
I hear a lot of people say I'm in the streets.
A lot of people say they know me but don't know me.
Shamea, I met her for the first time on the show,
but I-- she said she was at Dominique wedding.
I was there, but I didn't-- - No, I met you several times.
- Where? - One at--
I mean, you might not know me.
I mean, obviously, you're a legend but--
- Right. I don't know you. - Okay, one second.
I-I met you at Niq's wedding and-and at the-- and--
- No, no. No, no. You didn't meet me.
I was there. - Whew.
- That's not meeting me.
- No, I met you several times.
- Where? - One at--
I mean, you might not know me.
I mean, obviously, you're a legend but--
- Right. I don't know you. - Okay, one second.
I met you at Niq's wedding and at the-- and--
- No, no. No, no. You didn't meet me.
I was there. That's not meeting me.
- Me and my husband were there and--
- I don't even remember that. - Yeah, so--
[laughing] And I don't understand that
'cause, obviously, I wasn't famous.
- Okay, okay, I'm just saying, though.
- When I met you at my party-- - Uh-huh.
- "Oh, yeah, I met your husband, you know, NBA, at the game,"
and I said, "But I never met you.
"It's so good to meet you, finally."
Mine was never a dig, for one, and--
- I feel like it was and-- because you said,
"All these years, I knew Charles.
"I never knew he had a wife."
So, I'm like, how could you know he's married
if he doesn't know you? But that--
- But I have met him. Yeah. - Okay, but you don't know him.
- Charles, do you remember meeting Phaedra?
- Uh, no.
- Where'd you two meet, Phaedra?
- What? - Well, I-I know--
I've been in several rooms with him.
- Okay, that's not meeting me, though.
- But what I'm saying is, I-I know--
- You might've been. - Yeah.
- We might have been in the same bathroom.
- Yeah, I have-- not in the same bathroom.
- Not the same bathroom.
- We ain't in the same bathroom.
- Well, I'm-I'm saying. - What I'm saying is,
is I have-- I have-- know Sheree very well.
- Okay. - And I remember when y'all were a couple,
at-at one point. So... - Okay, we was a couple.
That don't mean you know me, though.
Me and Sheree was a couple. - I didn't--
you know, I-I know you and Sheree was a couple.
- Okay. Why do people say they know us personally
'cause I know Sheree? - What I'm saying is,
I have been in your presence in-- on numerous occasions.
- On where? - At...
[sighs] - But, Phaedra,
you said it to be shady. - I did not. No, I--
- You said, "His secret wife."
- Someone told me Charles Oakley was married.
- You ain't know that man was married?
- The secret wife of Charles Oakley...
- What did you hear about Charles?
- I said, "Secret," because it's unknown.
I have-- - But it was a dig at me.
- First of all, I said, "I haven't seen him
"in over ten years."
I never said he was having an affair.
I never said nothin' about no secret baby.
I said none of that.
For you to think that one comment,
come on, girl, this is "Housewives."
- Girl, it's "Housewives." - Yeah, so--
- So, I got ate up. Like, girl, we don't know you.
- I didn't eat you up. - I didn't know anybody.
- But why is the conversation anyway,
if I'm married or not? - What I'm-- I--
Okay, first of all-- - I'm-- no, no.
I'm just saying, though. Everybody wanna know about me.
What about y'all? I'm the only husband here.
- You are. - Where y'all husbands at?
- He at home. - Where's y'all husbands?
Huh? - My husband at home.
- Well, some-- - I'm just saying.
- Well, I don't actually know where mine is.
- One is at an unspecified address.
- We don't know that location.
- We just talkin'. - But-but you're here.
- It don't matter.
All y'all gotta do is Google me.
You know my name. - Right, Charles-- Charles--
- Google gonna tell you I been married for 10 years.
- Charles. - Not 10 years!
- 11 years. [laughing]
- That is not-- - 11, okay.
- I'm just saying, though. - You're forgetting.
- I don't even know! - Okay.
[laughing] - I don't know.
Shit. - You just know you're married.
- I know I'm married. - Charles.
Charles, um, when did you date our friend, Sheree?
- Oh, I knew it was coming. - That was back in, um,
2005, '06, '07, around there.
- Oh, okay. For, like, a minute?
- A couple of years-- a couple of years.
- A couple of years? - Was it dating?
Or was it, like, you guys-- - We went out.
We was dating, yeah. - But it was--
were you guys living together?
- We didn't live together. We was dating.
- Okay, so it wasn't, like, a monogamous,
long term relationship. - We was dating.
We was going places, doing things,
going to Dubai, around the country.
I mean, we was moving. - Dubai?
- Yeah. - Oh.
- Everybody is so impressed. - Okay, Andy.
Like, what are we doing here?
- Nothing. - What are we doing here?
Because there has been women in his past
who thought they couldn't let go.
Sheree let go.
She's not someone who I think is interested in my husband
or vice versa. - Okay, okay.
Charles, the women had a lot to say about you
having an outside baby.
How did this land with you?
- Oh, gosh. - We went to an event.
Me and Wendy Williams had a cookoff for charity.
- Yeah, yeah.
- And Angela tried to talk to Wendy
'cause she had an issue about her husband
had a baby on her, right, him?
- Yeah. [laughing]
- So, she tried to be, "Oh, Wendy, I'm sorry.
"That could happen to--"
So, Wendy took it back to the show
and turnt the whole story around.
- Wendy made it seem like Angela--
he had the baby. - He had the baby.
- Right, on Angela. - Right.
- Right, on-on me. - Right.
- And Charles has a side baby. - She did.
- But the story is still being told.
- Yes.
- Tell 'em about the times Wendy invited you over
for dinner, Charles. - Oh, she said,
"You wanna come over and have some wine or whatever?"
- Multiple times. - And, uh, no, it wasn't.
- When you were together? - Yes.
- It was-- no, it was once.
She had a cat, and I'm allergic
to cats and stuff. I couldn't go over.
- So, if she didn't have the cat, you would've went?
- And I didn't go. I drank wine.
So, it's-- ain't Wendy. [laughing]
- So, you're saying you would have went on a date
with Wendy Williams. - I mean,
I would've had a glass of wine with her.
I've been knowing her. - You would-- I said a date.
I get it, but that's not what I'm asking you.
I said, would you go on a date?
- I said I would've had a glass of wine with her.
- Is that a date? - Whatever you wanna call it.
- Oh, gosh. [laughing]
- So, Charles, you wrote about, in your book,
the incident at Madison Square Garden.
- Mm-hmm.
- How did that incident affect your marriage?
- Well, you know, it stayed with me for a while.
Um, it was, like, a step back, and, um,
Angela just, you know, was frustrated and--
- There was a strain in our marriage,
and we lived apart because everything
that happened to him, he wanted to be outside,
and there were other women
because this is a man of huge ego,
not in a bad way, just who he is.
And to be drug out of Madison Square Garden,
it affected us tremendously. Uh--
- You started therapy around then?
- Yes, since 2017. - Wow.
- That's amazing. - Charles, has it been helpful?
- Um, yeah. Well, she-she-- she's real sharp, number one,
and, uh, she really hit all the points
that make me open up more and just, you know,
held myself more accountable.
And, uh, I'm just glad Angela stayed strong
and stayed with me.
- So, to be clear, you would take Wendy Williams
for a glass of wine, not Wendy the therapist.
[laughing] - No, two different people.
- Okay. - Okay.
Before I let the guys go,
anything else anyone wants to say
or clear up from the season?
- Well, I would like to know
what my ex-husband told you, Ralph.
- Mmm.
No, the only thing he was just talking about
was just that the circumstances behind y'all divorce.
You know, it was pretty much that just one interaction,
so it was nothing else to share.
- I appreciate that.
And let me just tell you this.
I think it's amazing that you still have a man
and a husband that still wants to take of his--
of his children. I don't have that.
- That's true. - Ralph is a good parent. Yeah.
- So, I think, you know, I-I gotta say
you're a pretty standup guy for that.
- He is. - Yeah.
- I appreciate that. - And that I am grateful for.
Yeah. - Yeah.
- All right.
Well, I wanna thank the guys for being here.
- Yes, I survived. - That was quick and painless.
Thank you, gentlemen. - Thank you.
- Thank you.
- We are gonna be right back after this, from Atlanta.
- Charles, when is the next cookoff?
- Whenever you want to.
**
- I want some juice.
Uh, I can't get in.
- Whew.
You know me?
[laughing]
- Welcome back to "The Real Housewives of Atlanta"
season 16 reunion.
Well, ladies, I wanna end by talking about your time.
Uh, Drew, I'm happy that, tonight,
you're ending the season in a better place with Porsha.
I have to assume that makes you happy.
- Yes.
- Oh, most definitely because I did care for Porsha,
and I think, today, we hurt each other,
found our way back to some apologies and healing.
And so, I appreciate the accountability
and the grace that we're extending to one another.
- Kelli, what are you gonna take away from this season?
- I will definitely pick and choose who
I'm a good friend to, moving forward.
But you know what?
I am so lucky to go kinda through this life journey
with these ladies.
And let me just say this.
I really, really, really do hope and pray
that Shamea and P can rekindle their friendship.
I might've lost a friendship with Brit,
but I really hope that you guys can rekindle
the one that I lost.
Okay?
- That's nice. - It is nice.
- Well, Phaedra, your stay was short,
but it sure seemed like a lot of fun.
How does it feel being back on this platform,
in this group?
- You know, it was a wild two weeks.
- Yeah.
- I mean, Grenada, best time I've ever had
on a trip outside of Africa.
- Wow. - Real.
- Yeah. - Facts.
- Yes. - We did that, friend.
- Facts. - Yeah, facts.
I would do it a million times over.
- It's fun to have you back. - It is.
- Yeah, it is.
- We needed that.
- You know, Angela, I remember seeing you
early in the season, and you seemed so amazed
that you were even cast on the show.
You said, "What did you even see in me?"
And now, it seems that so many fans
have seen something in you.
- I have a deep gratitude for the platform,
for the fan-gelas. - Aww.
- Uh, and just, you know, just to be given the opportunity
to film with my mom, I now know that she can live
in everyone's home forever. - Perpetuity.
- Aww. - Yeah.
- That's beautiful. - That is the biggest--
the biggest gift. - Absolutely.
- That's sweet. That's sweet. - So, thank you.
- Wow. - That's sweet.
Cynthia, you did some real guidance this season.
I mean, you were such a good friend.
- Mm-hmm. - I mean,
you really kept the train moving,
and I can't thank you enough.
- Mm-hmm. - Thank you.
- Thank you. Thank you for not being a messy friend.
- Thank you for saying that. [laughing]
- Cynthia. - Yes.
- Whew. Thank you. Thank you, guys, so much.
- She said, "Whew."
- Um, I didn't know what to expect coming back
as a friend of the show, and I just appreciate
the respect and the grace that you guys are giving me.
- Yeah. - That's nice.
Shamea, we've seen you on this show for so many years.
Obviously, we really got to know you this season.
What do you take away from this?
[sighs]
- Just to, um, be more open about my feelings.
It's been a-- an incredible journey.
And I pray that, moving forward,
I can build alliances with all of the ladies.
- Pinky promise?
Sorry. [laughing]
- You gotta pinky promise. Gotta pinky promise.
[laughing]
- Porsha, um, how do you look back
on what was really a-a very transitional year
for you in your personal life?
- Um, I mean, I've had rough seasons
on the show before, um, but none this transformative,
honestly, to be able to sit and watch yourself
not be your best.
And I don't blame anybody but me.
But I have to say, as a woman,
sitting up here with other divorcees,
and I just have to thank God that I am sitting here
with my right mind. - Yes.
- And, um, you know, to Shamea,
I really hate the way this season went.
And, you know, I continue to love you.
I continue to cheer for you.
So, I'll put a button on that by saying
that I love everybody that are on these couches.
That's not easy to say on this show.
And, you know, thank you for such a beautiful season
and a learning season for me.
- Thank you. - But, Andy,
I gotta say one more thing. - Yeah.
- Uh-oh. [laughing]
- You didn't get to come to my birthday party
in Nashville. - Okay.
- Uh-oh. - Okay, ooh.
And so, I just wanna add you into the fun.
- Okay. - Oh.
- Where them fans at? [laughing]
I know you've been wanting to do a dance.
- Oh, yeah, I love dancing on TV.
- I know you've been wanting to do the fan dance.
- Oh, man, okay.
[laughing] - And there you go.
- There you go.
**
- Oh, oh, shit. - All right.
- Okay. So, we-- - We need fans.
- Whenever we hang out, Shamea is the dancer
of the group, the choreographer.
Show us a dance, real quick, that we can teach Andy.
- Okay.
So, let's just go one, two, three, hit.
One, two, three, hit. - Let's go.
- One, two, three.
- You gotta punch your hip out, Andy.
- One, two, three. - Bow!
[laughing]
[screaming]
[laughing]
- That's a wrap on season 16. Thanks for watching, everybody.
