- Previously, on "The Real Housewives of Potomac"...
- Yeah, very nice.
Boobie, do you like your new house?
- Right?
It's definitely different having Dean and Dylan
in the house without Michael.
I'm full-time mom.
- Nye sent me a preliminary budget for the tour.
It's a lot of money.
I'm sure I spent over six figures
to go on tour last year.
- How is it getting with KK?
- You think I should, like, call her?
- Yeah, absolutely.
- Oh, God, what am I gonna say?
- Absolutely. I mean, you guys are friends.
- Sorry for calling you a ho?
- I wasn't expecting, like,
the firestorm that came out of it.
- People are gonna think what they want.
- I guess it was exacerbated by the whole...
...you in the laundromat.
- I'm-I'm too friendly. I'm too nice.
- Robyn has some ownership to take.
We were the targets and ordered not to talk
about her truth. - About--
- We're gonna talk to her... - Yes.
- ...about our concerns and feelings...
- Right. - ...as her girlfriends.
- If I were Juan, I would probably operate
a little bit more cognizant or aware
of what's happening just for a minute.
- My heart hurts for you
because it opens up a wound for me.
- He is not thinking about you,
saying, "You know what? "This is bad optics."
- What do y'all want me to do? Get mad at him,
and scream, and throw a shoe at him?
"Oh, my God, I can't believe you went to the Nail Salon
with Breanna? - That's a (BLEEP) Juan moment.
- I don't give a (BLEEP).
Hold on. They've already stole my joy.
Just keep beating me up.
**
- I'm no angel, but give me some grace,
and you'll learn to adore me.
- You don't have to dig for gold
when you shine this bright.
- I just took a DNA test, and it turns out,
I 100% don't care.
- When they go low,
* I just hit high notes *
- If you're gonna test this professor,
be prepared to fail.
- Nigeria raised me, L.A. made me,
and Potomac will remember me.
- It doesn't matter the size of our home,
I'm always the queen of this castle.
- I don't ride the fence. Honey, I am the fence.
You ride me.
**
- Oh! It's so beautiful.
Oh, what are these?
Chives. These are tomatoes.
Okay, I gotta-- oh, they're not, like--
- Ashley! - Oh, mom, you found me.
- It's beautiful here. It smells so good.
- I know. - Hi, baby. Love you.
- I love you, too. Hi, mommy.
- You would wanna come here.
I know you wanna put all these plants in your yard,
don't you? - I do.
You know, I come here pretty regularly.
- That house just gave you life, and I love it.
- Yeah, it feels so good.
I'm preparing my home to welcome the ladies
for my housewarming party.
- What's going on over there?
I haven't been invited to the house.
- Well, so, I'm having a par-tay.
[cash register rings] - I like that.
- Okay.
I wanted to make sure that I have the natural essence.
I love flowers, and I just want it to be bright
and lively and-- 'cause that's what I feel.
I just feel this lightness.
It's my little safe space, my sanctuary.
So, for the housewarming party, I'm sorry you can't come.
I'm super bummed. - I cannot.
Why you gotta pick all your stuff on weekends
that I'm working? - I'm sorry.
- I wanted to go over here. - Okay, here, I'll grab these.
- And this thing is kinda heavy-- - Yeah, we'll leave it here.
- So we gotta leave it. - I think it's good.
Oh, they got some cabbage, and Dylan loves cabbage.
- Oh, my baby.
- Yes. Okay, I made my list today.
Mia... - Mm-hmm.
- Zach, Lauren, Jules,
Gizelle, Karen, Wendy,
Charrisse, Amonica, and Deborah.
- Okay. - I'm inviting my friend, Nneka.
So, you remember Engazzi from high school.
- Yeah, Engazzi. - Yeah. So, I met Nneka
through Engazzi, and she is a lawyer.
She moved here to be with her husband.
They're newlyweds, pretty much.
- Wow. - Um, I loved her energy.
We just vibed so well.
- Hmm. - Yeah.
My friend connected Nneka and I
because Nneka had recently moved into the area,
and I just love her energy.
She's fun, and I really do like surrounding myself
with empowering, positive, intelligent women.
- What's her name? Nneka? - Nneka.
- Yeah, that's different. - Mm-hmm.
- Nneka, that's pretty. That's a pretty name.
- Yeah, I think it's a pretty common Nigerian name. She's Ibo.
- Oh, her and Wendy-- Oh.
- I actually know of Wendy.
She's good friends with my cousin-in-law.
I met her once at a concert, and we had a conversation,
she was nice. - Oh, okay.
- This is nice. - Coming up. Right.
- I like this, too. - I know.
- Are you inviting Michael to the housewarming party?
[laughing] - He would be invited.
You know, we did go to the Bahamas together.
We had a great time.
We're still navigating co-parenting,
and it's going really well,
and I don't think either of us
really wants to rock that boat.
Like, even in the Bahamas,
even though we were there together, it was like,
we were two friends with our kids.
You know what I mean? - Yeah.
I was shocked when we FaceTimed, and he was like,
"Hi, Sheila." I was like...
[laughing] Hi, Michael.
- I know.
- 'Cause I was a little worried there.
- Actually, mom, he didn't try anything,
like, sexual at all.
It was the most respectful
we've been to each other in a long time.
- Yeah, I was wondering. I'm like, dang, the Bahamas.
I've been meaning to ask this.
I've been waiting. - Oh.
- I know. I've been waiting. I've been waiting.
- Oh, she who shall not be named.
- I know.
I've been waiting for a little bit.
What's up with the Candiace thing and the Michael--
the-the-- do you wanna talk about that?
- Well, I don't know anything, honestly.
- You don't know anything? - Yeah, I'm--
I have no knowledge about it.
We didn't talk about it at all, and as far as--
- Candiace was very verbal about a lot of stuff.
So, do you think that Michael is gonna move forward
with the lawsuit?
- Um, yes, he is.
I think it really did affect his business.
I don't know all the nuances of what-what he's doing.
Obviously, Candiace and I don't have a relationship.
So... - You know, it is what it is.
- I mean, you just can't talk like that
about people so reckless, you know.
- Yeah.
- I know nothing of this lawsuit
between Candiace and Michael.
Anything that I learn about it,
is on the internet just like everybody else.
Quite frankly, that is not my fish to fry,
and Michael is not volunteering any information.
So...
- So, is it safe to say that Candi-Can
ain't coming to your party? - Uh-uh.
- Oh, girl, send her an invite, Ashley.
Just send it. - I'm sorry?
There is not enough sage in this world.
[laughing]
- Oh, my God, absolutely not. - You ain't right.
- No. - You ain't right.
**
- Hello, diva.
Hi! [laughing]
How you doin'? Can we hug? - Uh, a start.
- Oh, okay, this is how we start. - Handshake first.
Warm handshake. - Nice to meet you.
- We have to have a conversation.
It's good to meet you. - Yes, yes.
- How are you? - I'm good. How are you?
Good? Yeah, you good? - Good, good.
Girl, you chose a beautiful place
to get fresh air. - Yes. Yeah, fresh air.
- Have fresh conversation. - Yes.
- Let's walk, okay? - All right.
Thank you for coming out and taking the time.
- No. Well, thank you for the invite.
Mia has had a come to Jesus moment.
- Okay.
That would be nice. Uh, I'm open to that.
What disappointed me the most about Mia's treatment
of me last year was her embellishment of the truth,
i.e. lying.
- Someone is saying that you were dating his best friend.
You guys went to Vegas.
You had sex with him in the bathroom.
- I never expected Mia to get on that bandwagon
and, you know, to betray me like that.
- In Potomac,.. Karen, she's known for
somebody that just gets drunk, ----ed up,
and will (BLEEP) any dick [screaming]
that will come her ----ing way.
- Last year, I was in shock and appalled
because I've been nothing but a friend to you.
- I'm sick. I'm not sick. I'm sick. I'm not--
Like, that's nothing to play with, and it feels like--
it feels very attention seeking for me.
- That's what I thought, too.
- I agree that it's different,
but I think we gotta hear her out.
- Okay.
- I have never stabbed you in your back, ever.
And what you did and said about me
was nothing but lies. - What did I say about you?
- I'm not gonna repeat it, Mia. You know what you did.
- No, no, no, no, no, no. Let's clear it up.
- You lied when you brought back a rumor
about me being with a friend of somebody.
- That wasn't a lie. Someone told me that.
- It wasn't a fact. - That's not a lie.
- It wasn't. It's-- - But I- I said that.
- But why do you repeat it as a--
- I said, "Someone said this."
- Let's talk about girl code. When we are married women,
you don't break girl code the way you did.
My husband was disrespected to so many levels,
at that moment. - Right. You're right.
- So, the anger you hear in my voice--
- 'Cause I wasn't thinking about Ray,
at that moment. I just had-- - And that's the problem.
- I had questions about what was going on with you.
- Do think about Ray.
I think about Gordon and your unit, your family.
- Okay, yeah. - Because we are talking,
I feel like...
there is hope. - Absolutely.
- I couldn't move forward with you today
without setting boundaries moving forward.
- Yeah, I would like that. - For me,
don't bring rumors and lies as truth
because then you're coming after
what I call my institution. - Okay.
- And my ins-institution is not just Ray.
And you never have to worry about me bringing rumors
about you and Gordon. - Mm-hmm.
- Speaking of you and Gordon, how are you?
- Girl, we're fine.
Gordon's going through it.
I mean, we're both goin' through it, honestly.
- And you and Gordon, though, have you-- I'm gonna--
I'll ask you 'cause I don't like rumors.
I know Gizelle has said, "Embezzlement,"
which is bullsh--, right?
- So, did the brothers argue about how the money
was being spent? - Hmm...
- Was that the-- - No, that wasn't it at all.
- Because it looked very much
like a little bit of embezzlement.
- Yes, it is bullsh--. - It's not true.
- Yes, no. - Okay, it's the next step.
- You know, but to-to Gizelle's defense,
when it first happened, I thought the same thing,
and I remember going-- - Wait, wait, wait.
You thought Gordon had embezzled from the company?
- I didn't know what to think. - That's your husband. Oh.
- I know, and I said, "Listen, is there something
"that I need to know?" - I didn't expect that answer.
- And then, of course, that's not the case.
- Oh. - Yeah.
Karen, you know, I was going through a lot last year,
but I'm good. I'm in a better place now.
I really am. I don't drink anymore.
I know. Isn't that crazy?
- Oh, the girls are gonna have a fit.
They're gonna force it on you. No.
[laughing] - I do drink wine.
- Oh, okay, that's good, though.
- I do drink wine 'cause you can get it at the grocery store,
so it's nutritional, right?
- Okay, good, good, good. Okay. - All right.
I just felt like there was moments
where it could have been mood altering.
- Okay. - Miami's probably one of them.
Wendy-- - I'm not in town for business.
- Oh!
- I should not have been drinking at all
because I was on medication.
- To see you flip like that was challenging for me.
I thank you for sharing,
talking about mixing pills and alcohol.
That's huge.
And I don't think you would have tossed a drink then,
and Wendy doesn't know that. - No.
- I don't know enough about it to talk to Wendy about it,
but what I will do, is encourage
that you all get together. - Yeah.
- Because we have got to have conversations.
- Yeah.
- I am optimistic about you and I,
but I wish the rest of the women
could do what we're doing. - Yeah.
- And I feel like there's such--
- Talking it out is very healthy, right?
- That's true. That's very true.
- And that's where the group needs to get to.
This is what girls are supposed to do.
We're supposed to hash it out, say what needs to be said,
and then move on.
- When you betray me, ask Gizelle.
It takes me forever to forgive you.
So, there's no going lower for Mia for me.
I expect Mia to flip her ass like a light switch
where I'm concerned. We'll see.
We'll see what's convenient for her.
Yes. - Thank you so much for
meeting with me today. [laughing]
- I have to teach you how to shake with intention.
- I-I-- no, this is how we shake, you ready?
Da-da-da-da-da. [laughing]
- I like that one, too.
All right, babe.
- Thank you. Oh.
[laughing] - Mmm. Not yet.
- Coming up next...
- In light of the fact
that the laundry mat picture came out,
why would you put yourself in a position
to be photographed, again?
**
- I never opened this.
Aww, thanks, Heather.
What?
Oh, they're mag-- I thought they were,
like, gummy-- gummies.
They're vitamin gummies.
Okay, this is cute.
[doorbell ringing]
Oh, it's a black man at my door.
Hello, black man. - Hey, ho.
How are you? - How you doin'?
- Good to see you. - Hi.
- I feel like I just saw you.
- You did. - So, I did, probably.
- Have you seen my office?
- No, I've seen it on Facetime.
Oh! Oh.
[laughing]
- It's not done.
But, you know. - Okay, I like it.
'Cause we need a desk. - We do--
yeah, so, my desk-- - This is-this is ghetto.
- It is ghetto. - Yeah.
- Chris calls it a barbecue table.
[laughing]
Yes, and church chairs.
Have a seat. - Okay, okay.
So, what's popping? - Chile...
- Well, I guess I should be telling you that.
I should be telling you what's popping.
- Yeah, you tell me what's popping.
Okay, so...
- So, we gotta sort through some things.
So, you know, we're currently, like, recording
new music to ultimately-- - Right.
- You're getting out of your Monarch contract
and situation. - Mm-hmm.
- And looking forward to a major label.
- Monarch has been great. - Yeah.
- Like, it was a great...
first start. - First.
We just gotta finish out this "Deep Space" tour.
- Oh, God.
- Second leg is happening soon,
in-in, like, tomorrow. - Yes.
The way that music business works is,
you have a contract with a label.
My contract with Monarch will be up soon.
As I'm looking to grow as an artist,
I have to grow the machine around me.
So, moving away from Monarch is
really just the next step
in the process of world domination.
- You know, we're venturing into
some new venues and new cities
that we've never gone into. - Yeah.
- St. Louis, Pittsburgh, New York.
- New York.
- Um, but then going back to Chicago and Atlanta.
Like, we have our openers kinda--
I have some ideas for Atlanta.
Got some ideas for Nashville.
We gotta think about somebody for Chicago.
- Mm-hmm.
- So, I have an idea of somebody
I think you should maybe consider.
What do you think about having Drew be a special guest?
- Is that your only option?
- No, I mean, 'cause we did Chicago before.
I could bring that same girl from before
that, I mean, I think-- - Yeah, we should do that.
- Uh, just considering that you and Drew--
she's been a part of your Atlanta show
as this little moment. - Right.
* No matter what they may say *
* I'm gonna be right here *
* I'm gonna love me all the way *
- Why do you look-- giving me a little hesitation?
- I just don't-- I-- hmm.
I mean, I-- - Let me close this laptop.
What?
- I don't feel like I need to do anything more
musically with her.
- Okay.
- I sold out Chicago. - Fair.
Oh. - So, I don't need--
I'm just saying.
I don't need Drew or anyone of note
to bring butts to the seats.
- Yeah. - Sorry.
I'm tired. I'm the (BLEEP) tired.
- This is why you're being difficult
about the Chicago show. - No.
- Oh, okay, got it. - See, no.
My edges hurt.
- You need to start rehearsing. - My vagina hurts.
- I'm not gonna ask you why your vagina hurts,
but that's between you and Chris.
[laughing]
**
- All right. So, we have...
This is...
**
- What you doin'?
- I'm bagging all of my new supplements.
- Oh. - So I make sure I take 'em.
So, I have a bunch.
- That's awesome. - I'm trying to fix
all of the things that my nutritionist
has come up with that I am, like, deficient in.
What are you about to do?
- Uh, run some errands.
- Run some errands, okay. - Yeah.
- Well, um...
I know you don't care about women's business,
but, um, I wanted to, like, update you
on the things that the women have been say--
talking about. - Mm-hmm.
- Um, so, recently,
Gizelle invited me over to her house.
I'm like, okay, great. - Oh, crap.
- So, I get there. - Mm-hmm.
- And it's pretty much turned into
what I felt like was, like, an intervention.
- What?
- This really feels like this is a protect Juan campaign.
- It's not.
- Take the world out of the equation.
He should not be out in public
with other women, period. - No.
- Do they know we had conversations
about this prior? - Um, right, and I'm just--
that's the thing what I'm trying to, like,
help them understand, like, okay,
just because, like, this stuff is news to you.
- Mm-hmm. - Like...
it's not news to me.
Her thing, I guess was, like, in light of the fact
that the laundry mat picture came out,
why would you put yourself in a position
to be photographed, again?
- I don't care!
What? I'm not going to live my life?
- Right, and-and so that's-- - Like, my-my circle is tight.
I don't deal with a lot of people already.
- But she's making it about me
and how that makes me look.
And I'm like, well, I don't care how it makes me look.
- Oh, that's-- - And so, she wants me
to be mad at--
- Well, get mad. Go ahead, get mad.
- I-I won't say-- okay. - Get mad, Robyn.
Curse me out, please.
- How dare you?
- Curse me out. Come on, I'm serious.
Get mad. [laughing]
- No, but I'm not mad. - Get mad.
I need you to get mad.
- No, you don't. - Yes, I do.
- No, no, so what I-- - Start throwing apples
and oranges and break glasses. - Right.
- Get mad, please. - Right, you want me to,
like, key-key your car. - So Gizelle can be--
[buzzer drones]
I don't-- I don't know.
People always got somethin' to say.
Everybody have issues that they deal with.
- Right.
- And some people handle them differently.
Gizelle is different than Robyn.
Like-- I mean, I don't care.
- I don't give a damn what these ladies think
about anything.
So, you know, they can have at it.
They can have fun chitchatting
and talking amongst themselves.
I don't care.
All right, so, just checking in with you.
How are you doing since,
um, you've-- - I'm fine.
What, work? - Yeah.
- I'm cool.
It just-- you know, I'll figure it out.
- Yeah, but you're, like, you know, making calls.
Making-- you know. - Yeah, I'm commun--
- Keeping your eyes open. - I'm trying.
You know, there's a lot of time left.
- Yeah. - I'm not...
going to rush the process. - Sh--.
- You know, I know we did everything
at a high level at my previous job.
It's just unfortunate, you know,
I have a-a lawsuit.
- Yeah. - Unfortunate lawsuit.
- Knowing what I know,
Juan not only didn't do anything wrong.
He did everything right
and everything within his power.
So, I believe in my whole heart
that he's not liable for any of it.
It'll be-- it'll-- - That's very unfortunate.
- It'll be a blessing.
- 'Cause all I do is love my guys!
- It'll be a blessing when the lawsuit
is resolved. - All I do is love my guys.
- I know it. - I love my guys hard.
- I know. - And they love me back.
And that's unfortunate.
I'm really okay.
I know things are going to work out
'cause-- - Right, yeah. Um--
- I have everybody's best interests.
I really do.
I put people before me most of the time.
- As do I.
Coming up next...
- We still don't have a name for this show, by the way.
- Okay.
- Wendy's Wisdom.
**
- Thanks, babe. This dog is going crazy.
Ready to see the house? - Yep.
- Hello. This looks great.
- Baby, be careful where you're stepping.
- Hey. - Hello. How are you?
- Hi, Jim. - How are you?
How are you doing?
- Nice to see you again. - Hi, Doctor. How are you?
- How you doin', my friend? - Nice to see you.
- This is looking good, Jim.
- Oh, thank you. Thank you. - Yeah, I love it. Thank you.
- My name is Nneka Ihim.
I come as I am, and what I am, honey, is remarkable.

20854, baby.
I just recently closed on a beautiful home in Potomac.
My house is five bedrooms, five bathrooms,
6,000 square feet, beautiful deck.
- And we're gonna keep this chandelier, right?
- No, we're not keeping that chandelier.
I'm actually surprised it's still up.
That's going in the garbage.
Okay, now, what is this, the primary bathroom?
- Yeah, that's the bathroom, primary bathroom.
- Oh, my gosh, we have some work to do in here,
but I like that progress is being made.
This means that our primary bathroom
is gonna be done soon, because it's empty,
which means something else has to come in.
- There will be no bags in this bathroom, right?
[laughing]
- There will be no bags, okay? No bags.
I want, like, a nice-- - Okay, I can just sit
in my little tub in peace without any--
- You don't take baths. What tub are you talking about?
- I just-- this is the first time I want to do it.
- Okay, now that you moved to Potomac,
you wanna take baths. - Yes, please.
- Okay, got it, got it. - I want to sit down in there
and just do what people do in those tubs.
- You know, I never knew generational wealth
was a problem until I got delayed for my closing.
The mortgage company found out
that I had other properties that I had failed to list,
two lakefront properties in Wisconsin,
a property in Florida, two properties in Maryland.
And a property in Georgia.
And we have several properties in Nigeria, I think.
Oh, my gosh, my closet! Look at how spacious it is.
- What is the color gonna be?
- This is gonna be the same, ebony.
- No, I'm talking about the office or what.
- No, this is my closet. - Oh, this is a closet?
- Jim, don't give him ideas. - All right.
- It's a guest bedroom. - Yes.
- Okay.
- Or maybe it's my baby's bedroom. Okay.
- This is gonna be for one of the twins.
- Iyke is a medical doctor by day,
a scrubs model by afternoon, nightclub owner by night.
- I'm gonna go see what's going on upstairs.
And see you later. Thank you.
- Thank you so much. - Thank you.
- What do you think?
- I want you to do what you're doing.
You're doing a fantastic job, as always.
- What I really was proud of, is that you already, you know,
assigned rooms to our twins. - Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- My husband, Iyke, and I definitely plan to have kids.
It's been a struggle, so far, I would say.
You just came back from a work trip.
You didn't beat off while you were there, right?
'Cause we need all your sperm. - Just one time.
- Are you serious? [laughing]
When I wake up in the morning,
the first thing I'll do is test my LH
to see if I'm ovulating.
Also, take my multivitamins, my prenatal vitamins.
I take all those with a glass of champagne
because I start my day with bubbles,
and I end my day with bubbles.
Just hopefully get closer to conceiving.
- Look at him.
- Oh, my baby love-- my baby love.
- He's passed out.
He's tired of hearing you argue. Animal--
- Let's see if he likes his new house.
Wow, goes straight to you. - Uh-huh.
- Not even the person who bathes him,
and feeds him, and loves him.
**
- Hello.
Oh.
- Hey, girl. - I'm out of breath.
Hi, beautiful. - Hey.
- How are you doing? - You look so pretty.
- You look so gorgeous, and you smell good.
- Thank you. - Oh, this is cute.
- Right?
- Okay, this is, like, a vibe a little bit.
- Right? - Okay.
- Mm-hmm.
- It gives me Harlem renaissance meets, like,
a museum.
It feels like no evil spirits have been in it.
- Exactly. [laughing]
- I am looking for studio space because I am starting...
[drum roll]
My own talk show!
This show is going to be different.
It is going to talk about serious issues
but also issues that we talk about
every day with our friends.
I give you a little politics, but I give you a little ratchet.
I am a multi-hyphenate, multi-hyphenate,
multi-hyphenate.
I am a multi-hyphenate.
I am a mom, a wife, a professor, an author,
entrepreneur, a talk show host.
I can be many things.
You know, if they can't, sucks for you.
- Gonna have a-an interview space.
- Mm-hmm.
- And then we're going to have, like,
when we were talking about, like, a-a call to action.
- The ultimate goal for this talk show
is that it catches the eyes, the ears,
the attention of a major network.
I would love if my show could be on Bravo, E!,
MSNBC, Netflix, HBO. That would be the dream.
- So, doing something like this, it allows us, you know,
the freedom to just come in and make it ours.
- Right. I get what you're saying.
Like, if I have Yvonne Orji, and we wanna cook, like,
some Nigerian food, that episode...
- Yes, yes, yes.
we could use the stove over there.
I have known Marsha since I was 19 years old.
She has done work in the producer realm,
so I reached out to her.
One interview, I wanna do, like, coffee table.
- The thing is, this is the space.
We can do whatever we want with this space.
- With this space. - Right.
- She's produced different shows,
some of which have appeared, like, at Sundance.
I think, maybe.
I think.
- We have to start going over stuff
because we haven't talked about the P.A. and, uh--
- Okay, I think I have a good P.A. for us.
- I have one, too. - Okay, good, awesome. Okay.
- Yes, I have one, too. - Okay.
- Uh, and-- - What's a P.A.?
- The production assistant. - Okay, production assistant.
Okay, got it. - Yeah, mm-hmm.
- As far as budget, I know you always get on me
because I have not told you a budget.
- Can you tell me? - No, but I'll tell you this.
[laughing] - Okay.
- Between the pre-production cost--
- Mm-hmm.
- And the price for renting out this place,
we are over budget.
- Yeah, but that's not a lot.
- But I don't expect my budget to be the same budget as Oprah.
I can hear a lawnmower. Is this soundproof?
- Uh, no. - No.
There's soundproof studios, though, that--
- Yes. - Okay.
So, that's a note. - Yeah.
- We still don't have a name for this show, by the way.
- Okay. - How about Zen Wen?
- Is that what you really want it to be?
- Okay, all right. Okay.
How about, um, Wendy's Wisdom? - No.
[gasps] What?
- Wine With Dr. Wendy and then, each episode,
I have a glass of wine. I don't want it to be newsy.
I want it to be conversational.
And I always talk with my hands, and I just--
- You're making my cheeks hurt. [laughing]
- I'm glad you're excited. [laughing]
- Coming up next...
- Open up. - Open up, Gizelle.
- Knees together. - I-I'm open, baby.
- Aren't you dating a young man?
- Oh, yeah, listen, I'm wide open.
Wide, wide, wide.
**
- Hi. - Hi.
- I have a few girlfriends joining me.
- All right. My name is Allie.
I'll be your instructor today.
So, you can put your things here in the cubby.
Um, when your friends get here,
we can show them this area, as well.
Hi, there. - Ashley.
- What's going on, babe? - Pilates.
Good to see you. - Oh, wow.
Hi. - Hi.
Girl, you look so good. - Thank you.
- Good to see you, Mia, again. We're doing our--
- Yes, nice to meet you.
- What's-what's the handshake? - Good to see you, again.
We'll talk about it.
We're doing a reset of our friendship.
- Oh! Oh! - Oh, you did a reset.
Okay. - So we can move forward.
- So, let me get you set up here.
- I have new boobs. Is this okay?
- This is totally fine with new boobs.
- Okay, all right.
- Chin to chest and slowly lift up.
- I would like to introduce you to Demi and Diamond.
**
I got them about two months ago,
and I'm really happy with my decision.
I like them.
- Go ahead and lie down, and we're gonna slide these
over those feet. - Oh, yes, okay.
- All right, perfect. - Not for the faint of heart.
- Hey, girl. - Just in time.
- What in the world? [laughing]
Y'all are ready-- - Come on, Gizelle.
Come on. We ready. - Y'all are ready for action.
I mean, I like vaginas, but I didn't know that
they were gonna welcome me at the door.
Legs are in the air, honey.
- Okay, so, these are the reformers.
- Hi, booty.
- Ladies, have you guys ever been on a reformer?
- Yes.
- You're gonna put your head in the pillow.
- Okay, thank you. - Okay.
- Feet forward. And I made yours longer, Mia,
so you won't feel too crunched up.
- Okay, let's get it. - All right.
I want you all to work out with me
as I prepare for the triple 20.
I know Pilates is something that you think
I pulled out of the hat, and I did
'cause I wanna keep y'all in shape.
Listen, you all know that my mom
was a cardiovascular patient, right?
- Yes. - Right.
- She had a triple bypass. I'm approaching the triple 20.
- Time out. What the hell is a triple 20?
- Triple is gonna be what's it's gonna be
in June for the party. - Twenty, forty...
- She's about-- she's about to be 60, honey.
- So, I went for all of the tests
which would scare you-- MRI, calcium, EKGs,
stress test, you know, blockage and what have you.
I still choke up when I say it.
Calm down.
I have 5% of calcium in my carotid arteries.
- Yeah.
- But that is a number that cannot hurt me, okay?
- Oh, okay, okay. - Okay, yeah.
- It's not life threatening. - So, that's why we're here?
- Yeah. - 'Cause you have a blockage.
- It's not a blockage. - It's a...?
- A deposit. - A deposit, okay.
All right. Karen, we support you.
We here. - I know.
The good news is, I caught it in time,
and diet and just being vigilant about my health
will stop any more buildup.
- I-I-I don't even know what-what to equate that to.
Five percent buildup in your heart?
Huh.
Does that mean that you need to clean your ears?
All right, triple 20, let's go.
- We're ready.
Okay, bring your knees to tabletop.
- Okay. - Reach your arms up to the sky.
- Okay.
- I-I don't-- what do you mean?
- Come on. Come on, ladies. - And exhale.
Pull down your hands towards your hips.
Open the chest. - Ooh, nice.
- There you go. - Yes, that's--
- And then lift your arms up. [groans]
- I can't breathe.
- Start pumping your arms up and down.
The pump should be about this quick, quick, quick.
- Oh, my God, girl, Gizelle.
- Like this? - Yeah.
Use your outer thighs. Open up.
Squeeze together those inner thighs.
- Open up, Gizelle. - I-I'm open.
- Aren't you dating a young man? - Oh, yes.
- Open up, Gizelle. - Listen, I'm wide open.
Wide, wide, wide.
- Oh, my God, Gizelle.
Oh, Lord.
Girl, I'm breaking a sweat.
- You are done with your Pilates session.
You guys did great. Awesome job. - Yes.
- Thank you. - That was amazing.
- Can I-- can I potty? I had to pee since I got here.
- Oh, go straight-straight up to your right.
- Oh, yeah, go. - I was about to jump to pee.
- More importantly, while Mia is in the bathroom,
y'all are okay, you and Mia? - They shook hands.
- We had-- we had a very-- no.
- What does-- what the hell does that mean?
- We were shaking hands because Mia and I
had a really strong friendship before last year.
- Yes. - And it got-- it got bunky.
- Uh-huh.
- We had a long, long talk about it.
And I'm not fake and phony, so I said,
"Let's start off, and we'll earn our hug."
Mia, we're talking about the handshake in the park.
- Listen, that handshake was-was ridiculous.
- She really does not like the handshake.
But let's keep it real.
When we walked through the park, we made progress.
We talked about real stuff that affected our relationship
last year.
Let us not bring rumors anymore.
Let's bring facts. - Okay, well,
then on that note-- - Okay.
- Recently, Ashley and I were with Robyn and Charrisse.
You know, my concern as her friend, is her.
She has come under fire tremendously
as it relates to the world and all of their opinions
about her and Juan. So, that's why I say to you,
are you gonna apologize to Robyn?
- For what, though?
- Just recently, you had a-a woman in Georgetown...
- Mm-hmm. - With blonde hair...
- Mm-hmm. - That was a rumor.
- It was a rumor. You're right.
Um, and if I go by that, I can give Robyn grace
'cause I did not have a picture.
- Does grace mean an apology?
- But I do believe that there's some truth to it.
- That was a rumor.
- Listen, I don't know about international.
I know about domestic. But Robyn owes me an apology,
and I probably do owe Robyn an apology.
- Okay, that's fine. That's fine. - But how we get there,
maybe you have to facilitate that, Gizelle.
- That's fair. Yeah. - That's fine.
Okay, that's fine. I will. - All right. Fair enough?
- Yes.
- Now, my question, update for you, Ashley.
Last I talked to you, your divorce, I think,
was supposed to be finalized. - Right.
- Are you divorced? - I am not divorced.
[screaming]
- Wait a minute. Wait a minute.
- I am technically married, but I live very much apart,
and my name is the only name on the deed of this home.
- Can you tell us why Michael is suing Candiace?
- I cannot. It's public record.
- How do you all feel about Candiace?
- I don't know who y'all are talking about, right now.
- Ma'am, no.
- But you and Candiace are hot and cold all the time.
- Uh-uh.
She told me to never talk to her again.
- Okay, hold on. - Wait, what?
- Candiace had said something at the reunion
about something that I had done or was trying to do,
and I texted her proof that that wasn't true.
She says, "You have shown yourself to be someone
"who will conspire with your castmates to lie
"and embellish about very dangerous accusations
"for entertainment purposes." I never did that.
- Is she coming to your housewarming party tomorrow?
- I haven't invited her. - Oh.
- You're not gonna be with us this weekend?
- No. What's happening? - Ashley's housewarming.
- Oh, oh, that's right. - Did you get invited?
- I don't think I did.
- She has an engagement in L.A. So, she--
- Oh, she's out of town. - She's out of town anyway,
so this works out fine. - Good.
- Whatever. Who cares? - All right, Gizelle.
- But, guys, I have some exciting news.
- Yes. - What is the news?
- I have-- I have a friend.
She is so fantastic. Her name is Nneka.
She's a lawyer. She's very intelligent.
She's beautiful. She's married to a doctor.
Yeah, so she's coming to my housewarming party tomorrow.
- Nice. - Okay.
- I can't wait to meet her.
- So, is there going to be a special guy at the party?
- That's a good question. - No, no, no.
- No special guy? - What about you, ma'am?
[clears throat]
- She's dating someone 17 years younger than her.
- He's like our age,
so I feel like he's like a little boy to me
'cause, you know, I like 'em older.
- Oh, right. - What?
- I wouldn't-- I wouldn't know what to do with that.
- I do. - I know, clearly-- clearly.
[laughing]
- I always inspire these girls.
So, Gizelle had to pick a man with a 17 age difference,
but she went back.
She went and got a baby with a cradle.
I mean, that woman was graduating high school
when Jason was in Pampers. [baby crying]
I personally think that this Pilates session
has come to an end, uh, and I look forward
to your housewarming.
- Yes. We'll have a good ol' time.
- Coming up next...
- Thank you. - So pretty.
Congratulations on your house. - So good to see you.
Aww.
- I mean, I know this is a housewarming,
but I didn't know it was a kids party.
Like, the entertainment came early.
- Tables set up. - Beautiful.
- Nautical theme-- we have a little seashell on here.
We prepared a little menu that outlines everything
that they're going to receive up there.
- That's good. - So, they'll know
what to expect when they grab something to eat.
It's definitely labeled here what's vegan and gluten-free.
- Okay, oh, nice.
Okay. - Yeah, girl.
You want a cocktail?
- I think I just want a beer to start.
- Okay.
- So, no one will serve themselves.
Everything is back here.
- Oh, okay.
Oh. - I know.
- I'm gonna go get dressed now.
- All right. - Thank you, Tillie.
- Hello. How are you? - Hi.
I'm well. How are you? - You look good.
- It's good to see you, again. - Oh, my gosh, yeah.
- Here, you can just let them know what you'd like to drink.
- Okay. Uh, I'll do vodka.
- Mother Nature, right when the party starts.
- It's gonna-- we think it's gonna blow over
'cause it's just-- it kinda stops and-- yeah.
- Hi. This is why we got the tent.
I'm really excited to have my core group of friends
and my family at my house, my seaside in the city.
I have appreciated how,
irrespective of whatever differences or disagreements
we've had in the past, they were really there for me
when I was leaving Michael, when it was just such a--
a trying and emotional chapter of my life,
and I can start this new chapter with them by my side.
I gotta be under this tent. - [indistinct]. Yeah.
- Yeah, my hair is--
- Okay, Ashley.
Hi. - Oh, how are you?
- I am great. Cute. - Oh, hi.
- Hi. - How are you, babe?
- You look fantastic.
You smell good. - So do you. Thank you.
- Hi. - Hello, hello.
- How is it going? - You look great.
- Thank you. - All good.
- Oh, we have, like, all kinds of beverages.
- We have specialty cocktails. - I brought you some Corona.
That's from me. - Oh, thank you.
- This is really pretty. - Thank you.
When one door closes...
- Boom, boom, boom, boom. - There it is.
That's how it works. - Another one opens.
- Speaking of-- speaking of doors, well, I know that,
like, Michael has, like, an hour rule.
Like, he has to tell you an hour in advance
if he's coming. - Uh-huh.
- We have some stipulations in place.
Surprise visits are a no go.
We have to give each other at least an hour's notice.
- Is that still in play?
- I don't expect that. I mean, he has my children.
So... - So, he's with them, chilling.
- Yes, yeah. - Okay.
- So, you were-- where did you go?
You had a vacation. - Bahamas.
- Okay, that's cool. - Yeah.
- I subscribe to, like, we can do family things
even though you, you know, you're going through a divorce.
If you guys can get along for the kids, I love that.
- Yeah. - And we can. We do very well.
We didn't have any arguments. - Yeah. So...
- So, he went on the vacation?
- Yeah, well, yes. Where have you been?
- Oh, I didn't know that.
- Oh, when I Facetimed you, I don't think I told you
he was there. Yeah. - Oh, yeah, yeah.
- Oh.
- He-he was taking the kids on the waterslide, at that point.
So, yeah. - Okay.
- My uncle is just an old school dude.
- What kind of life are you living?
Are you, like, getting a divorce or, like,
creating another business?
- He's been with the same woman for almost 30 years.
It also makes it hard for him to empathize
and see my perspective, you know,
because he's led his life a particular way,
and it's different than how I'm leading mine.
- Hey, man, I stay in my lane, you know.
- Do you? - I-I try. I try.
- Okay. - I'm-I'm human.
If she wanna veer off, then that's her thing.
[laughing] - Thank goodness, no.
Thank goodness, no.
Look! Look! - There you go. That's it.
- It stopped. - Thank you, Jesus.
**
- Hello, hello. Oh, my God.
Hey, homeowner. - Hi, lady in lilac.
- Girl, yes! Yes! All right.
- Hi, babe. How are you? - Oh, my God.
How are you? I'm good. Good to see you.
- How are you? Yes, yes.
- Hi, Gizelle. - Hi.
- Oh, we're hugging. I love it!
- What are you drinking today, Karen?
- Water, right now, darling. - Okay.
- I gotta drive back. - I know, girl.
- There's a service where they drive your car back for you.
- Yes, while you're in it.
- There you go. - Okay.
I bet they would like to drive my Mazi but no thank you.
- Yeah. - Not the Mazi.
- Hi.
[sighs]
- Cha-ching! Cha-ching! - Hi!
- This is beautiful. - How are you? Thank you.
Thank you for coming. - Girl, this looks like Pleasantville.
- Thank you. - Like, I'm happy.
- My little seaside chalet. - I feel like I'm at the beach.
- Yeah.
- It's cute. [laughing]
Where is the water?
Hi. - Hi, Mia.
- Hi. So, I'm gonna sit over here
since Karen is not hugging me anymore.
- Hey, Mia, you are so welcome.
- Sit right next to me. - Where people hug.
- I'm just very real. Hey, baby. - You look beautiful.
You look gorgeous. - Thank you.
- You look great. - Yes.
- You do, too.
- Would you like a glass of champagne?
- Um, is the Pope Catholic? [laughing]
[humming]
- Hi. - This is great.
- Y'all did this last year. I swear.
- Y'all are twinning.
- You guys are matching. - Hi, beautiful.
How are you? - I am good, Charrisse.
- Y'all just need to kiss and make up already.
- Y'all gotta take a picture with this.
This is-- this is-- - We're good.
- They're twinning!
- Oh, we are. - Yes.
- Hi, Karen. - Hi, Charrisse.
- How are you? - I'm good.
- Happy almost summer.
- Do you guys wanna do a house tour, real quick?
- Yes. - Yeah.
- Okay, come on. Most of us are here.
- Oh, this'll be fun.
- I do wanna eat somethin', chile.
- So, this is my living room, obviously.
Um, the-the inspiration was coastal chic
'cause I really love neutral tones.
And coming from our apartment, which was very dark,
everything just had, like, a very bachelor feel.
So, I wanted to lighten it up.
No, like, gray stone all of that.
I definitely had a lot of great memories
at the Bethany Beach house.
There are some elements of that home
that I wanted to incorporate into this house.
- I love it.
- That's one heck of a view. - Sorry, guys.
Three women will have to share this bathroom.
Since I do live in the city,
I wanted to have that sort of escape.
And I just want nautical. Perfect timing!
Hey, jeans. - Hey, mama.
- You are serving. Hi. - Thank you, baby.
Your house is serving. This is--
this is beautiful. - Thank you. Thank you so much.
- Hi. - Hey, mama.
How you doing, beautiful? - I am good. Muah.
- Oh, so good to see you.
Hey, mama.
So good to see you. Hey, Charrisse. How you doing?
- Hi. I haven't seen you in forever.
Give me some love. Good to see you.
- Thank you.
- Coming up next...
- Her name is Nneka.
You guys actually have a lot in common.
- Okay, tell me. - She's Ibo, as well.
I talked about it with Nneka.
There was this article about you or something being,
like, Osu or something.
I was like, what?
**
- Hi. - Hey, mama.
How you doing, beautiful? - I am good. Muah.
- Oh, so good to see you.
Yes. Hey, Charrisse. - Hi.
I haven't seen you in forever. Give me some love.
Good to see you. - Thank you.
- Oh, baby, the time of civility is long gone.
I have greeted those who I want to greet.
The others? Hmm.
- So, I was just saying that this is the--
this is our living room.
And then our kitchen, which I don't use very much,
but I do do more now
since I have to feed the children on my own.
- Okay, okay. - Yes. All right.
We'll make our way upstairs, babe.
- All right. - Alrighty.
Oh, my gosh, this is cute. - I like this.
This is very cute. - Thank you.
- I am loving this for Ashley. I love the decor.
I love that it's boho chic,
or, no, beachwear. It's-it's somethin'.
It's somethin'.
- This is where no magic is happening.
- Are you sure? - Absolutely none.
- I need a closet.
Can I just borrow one of these?
- Cute, okay, I like the bathroom.
- Yes, lovely bathroom. Yeah. - I like the floors.
- And I'll just show you guys my kids' room.
Yeah, they share this room. - Oh, cute.
- Yeah. - We have to keep the artwork.
- Aww.
- Super cute-- very nice. You've-you've done, Ashley.
- This is beautiful, Ashley. - Thank you, babes. Thank you.
Are you guys ready to eat? - Yes.
- Yeah. - Okay, yeah,
so we can go outside to eat.
- Hey, girls. - Hi.
- You been good? - Yes.
- Hi, cutie. - I like your dress.
- Thank you. - It's so pretty.
- It's so good to see you. - Congratulations on your house.
- Oh, thank you.
- You changed it up a little-- a little bit.
- Chile, now, why is the liar here?
I mean, I know this is a housewarming,
but I didn't know it was a kids' party.
Like, the entertainment came early.
- And then Eddie-- I think that's the name--
happy Eddie comes over. - Who is happy Eddie?
- Wendy's husband. - Oh, chile.
- He was very flirty.
If I didn't know he was married, I wouldn't have known.
- Yeah. - All right.
So, we're going outside. - Yes, babe.
**
- Do we know what this is?
I don't know what that is.
- How are you? Wait, where is your nautical hat?
[sighs] Did you forget?
- I wore blue and white stripes. - Oh, I love it.
- Maybe just a little wine and sparkling water
and then a pretty garnish.
- Okay, shrimp.
- Look at this punctuality.
I love it. Hi.
- Robyn is gonna sit there. Yeah.
**
- Karen, where are you sitting?
- Right there beside Gizelle.
- Hi. - Oh, hi, Robyn.
- How are you? This is so adorable.
- Thank you. - Congratulations.
Hey, how are you? - Hey, sexy.
- Look, I am not hiding from anything.
I'm not running from conversations
that these ladies wanna have.
So if you got somethin' to say, then say it.
- Hey.
- Hey, how are you? - Hey, sexy.
- Hello, hello. - Hi.
- Look at you all snatched. - This color is pretty on you.
- Girl, I didn't think you were coming. I wasn't sure.
- Hey, why? Am I that late? - A little bit.
- Really? - Yeah.
- Hi, Karen. Hi, Deborah. Hi, Wendy.
- (all) Hi. - How are you?
That's-- that's a pretty pink. - Thank you.
Oh, is somebody sitting here?
Oh, Ashley. - It was Ashley. It's fine.
- She's good. - No, Ashley will be fine.
**
- Oh, hello, beautiful. - Hi. How are you?
- This is it. I'm loving the color pop.
- Thank you. - And your tan is still bustin'.
I love it. - Oh, thank you, babe.
- Oh, I got this for you. - Oh, so sweet.
Thank you. - Yes, yes.
- Oh, Charrisse, this is my friend, Nneka.
- Oh. Oh, my gosh, hi. - Hi.
- Oh, you're so beautiful. - Thank you. Thank you.
Nice to meet you. - Nice to meet you.
Ooh, I love the earrings. - Girl.
- You wore them today, so now they're mine,
just so you know. [laughing]
- And I will take them back. [laughing]
- Hi. - Ladies,
this is my friend, Nneka, I was telling you about.
- Nneka. - Hello, everyone.
- (all) Hi. - How are you?
- Oh, my gosh, so many beautiful faces.
- Yeah, this is Wendy. - Hi.
- Very nice to meet you, Nneka.
- Oh, my gosh, girl, purple is my favorite color.
- Oh, good. Nice to meet you. - Wonderful.

- Thank you so much. - So beautiful.
- Oh, thank you. - Let me make my way around.

How many times have I seen her?
I have seen her in passing before.
- Hi. I'm Gizelle.
Very nice to meet you. - Hey, beautiful,
beautiful, beautiful. Nice to meet you.
- Hi, gorgeous. How are you?
You're so pretty. - Hey, thank you. You, too.
- Join us. - I'm loving all the color.
- Sit right here. - Yeah, sit beside me.
- I've been invited to sit somewhere.
- Oh, it's good. Yeah.
You guys actually have a lot in common.
- Okay, tell me. - You're both, yeah, you're--
she's Ibo, as well. - I am.
- All right. - Her name is Nneka.
- Oh, you're saying it like that.
It's Nneka.
- Well, teach them.
- Okay, teach them now. - Teach them.
- Okay, Nneka. [laughing]
- The double N-- the double N with the E is like na.
- Na-- as in na. - Na.
- Saying it wrong. - But, no, but--
- You didn't know how to say it.
- But we're in America.
We can make it comfortable for them.
- Okay, Nneka.
Okay, girl, I see you.
- Dressed to the nine.
I was like, go ahead, girl.
All right. I like you.
- Like, I love her little, like, valley girl,
like, hey, girl. I'm like, yes, hey, girl.
- You're new here? You're not from here?
- Yeah. No, I moved here about a year ago
when I got married. - Oh.
- A newlywed-- congratulations.
- Thank you.
- Wendy, can we-- can we go inside for a sec?
[indistinct chatter]
I'm gonna catch up Wendy 'cause I haven't seen her
in how long? - It's been a minute.
- I know.
Are you okay with sitting on the couch?
- Yeah, let's sit right here.
- It's got a little Play-Doh on it.
[laughing]
It's so hard for me to keep up-- - No, I know the struggle.
- With these boys and their Play-Doh.
- No. How are you? First of all...
- Yes, babe. - I'm proud of you.
- Thank you.
- This is a big step, but you did it,
and I know you're so big on your boys,
and the goal is always to provide our children
with a home filled with love. - Yes.
- And the moment I walked in here, I felt it.
- Thank you.
- So, you have done your job. - Thank you.
- Do you have any children? - We don't, girl.
- Are you gonna have-- do you wanna have kids?
- We've been trying. - You've been trying. Oh, nice.
- Oh, are you? - Yeah, we've been trying.
It hasn't been-- - You gotta relax
and don't think about it. - You guys just got married.
- I feel like I've been relaxed. It's been seven months.
I called the doctor after three months.
I'm like, "Listen, I need help."
So, I went and did all my labs and all that stuff,
and, like, they said I'm above average,
which I usually am in everything.
Um... [laughing]
- Since our interactions last year,
you have always made me feel like I matter.
I hold you in a very special place.
- Thank you. - I want you to know that.
But sometimes, Ashley-- - It's fair.
Go ahead. - I have questions.
- Mm-hmm.
- With everything that transpired with Deborah,
you remember that? - Oh, okay.
Yes, I do. - Yeah.
- So, apparently, when Chris was talking
to Deborah-- - Okay.
- I guess Eddie, like, came over,
and the consensus seemed to be
that Eddie was, like, being flirtatious.
So they were calling him Happy Eddie.
- Not Happy Eddie.
I really wanna feel like I can be like,
Ashley, like, that's my girl.
I just don't want to feel like,
if the opportunity presents itself,
you will stab me in the back.
**
- I just don't want to feel like,
if the opportunity presents itself,
you will stab me in the back.
- I respect that.
- I don't wanna feel that way. - Okay.
So, number one, part of why you may not see
that I am trustworthy fully
is because we just don't really spend the time together.
- Yeah. - We haven't really had
instances where we, you know, like,
kiki and do things, you know, with our kids or whatever,
and I do-- - I invited you
to Kamrynn's birthday party. - You did.
I know, and that's fair. - Yeah.
- And maybe that's where my invitation ended because--
- That's where your invitation ended.
- That's fair. I respect that. I couldn't make that,
but I do understand that. - Yeah.
- And I think that that's one area where we can--
And I still-- there's so many layers to you
that I still wanna get to know. - Same.
- I worry that it makes you feel really guarded about me
and maybe the group that you don't necessarily wanna share
some vulnerable things about yourself, you know.
- I just want to feel like it's in safe hands.
- Fair but do you not want me to tell you things that happen?
- No, I want you to tell me everything.
- Okay, 'cause, I-I mean-- - I'm-I'm not that friend.
I'm the friend that tell me. - But that's what I'm saying.
- Yeah. - So, that's when I told you.
- Yeah, no. - Okay,
and even though I love her, I knew that that was something
that you would wanna know. - Yeah.
- Um, I will say that, in-in that vein,
so only because I talked about it with Nneka,
we just-- like, I was talking about you
and how esteemed you are, how professional you are,
and this, and that.
I told her you had a-- that you were a doctor,
and she was like, "Like a-- like a medical doctor?"
Wendy-- doctor-- Wendy and I are friends.
- Wait, first of all, Dr. Wendy? Is this medical doctor?
- No. - Okay.
- It's a-a PhD. - Okay, Doctor of Philosophy.
- Doctor of Philosophy?
- Yeah, PhD is doctor of philosophy. Okay.
- Oh, doctor of-- okay.
Uh, the way she said it, I thought it was a little--
she was-- I was like, okay, I didn't know that that was,
like, seemed to be--
- No, I have a Doctorate of Philosophy.
- I respect it. - What, only--
what only less than 1% of the world has.
- I respect it immensely. [laughing]
Yes, I don't have it. So, you know.
- Mm-hmm.
Girl, let me tell you somethin'.
I worked hard for my PhD.
If it doesn't make her happy, that's on her,
but she's gonna still address me as Dr. Wendy.
- You are a lawyer. - I am.
- Your husband is a doctor, right?
- Yes. - So, do you practice law?
- I do practice.
I'm in-house counsel for a prominent fintech company.
- And then I guess, like, there was this article about you
or something being, like, Osu or something.
- Mm-hmm. - And I was like, oh, like,
this silly thing.
Something had happened where there was some rumor
about her family being shunned or something.
Is that, like, a common thing or...?
- Did they say why she was being shunned?
- They are Osu, cursed, or something like that.
- It's kind of a group of people who were, like, offered up
to this native or local king. - Okay.
- And those people, like, the families
that give up their children are considered Osu.
- Okay.
- And it's literally been abolished, you know.
- It's been abolished. So, like, it's--
- Like, people still remember and, you know,
don't want to necessarily be associated with it.
I don't know if she is. I know I'm not,
but I don't-- I don't know if she is
or what's going on there.
- And she basically was like, "Oh, Osu is, like, terrible."
I was like, what? Like--
- Uh-huh, that's how I remembered it.
I really said it like-- it was that tequila.
Oh, I shouldn't have drank.
I had no idea what that was at all.
- Um, Osu is something from, like, ancient Gods in Nigeria.
My family is not that, right? - Okay.
- And it basically is people who are considered outcasts.
So, the fact that you came to Kamrynn's sip and see--
- Yeah. - And you saw
all the women with the head ties
and all the Nigerian people partying with us,
if you're an-- - The geles.
- Yeah, the geles. - Geles, yeah, I remember.
- Yes. If you're an Osu,
no one would come to your events.
- I see. - No one would be around you.
It's, like, forbidden.
So, yes, it is a bad thing, but that's not--
it ain't me. - Okay, good.
- You're coming into the group,
and you're bringing up false blog articles,
and I would just have expected more,
especially from a fellow Nigerian.

- Next time, on "The Real Housewives of Potomac."
- You were very adamant on Juan because of the optics.
No, no, no. I don't care that the block is hot.
- I may have implied to Wendy that Nneka was, like,
sort of implying that Wendy was Osu.
- Celebrants, first communion.
- You're-you're closer to God. - Yes.
- Wendy's mom calls my husband's cousin.
Starts off super creepy, like,
that she has a shrine. - What?
What?
- In Jesus' name, amen.
