I feel like Claudia won... Not because of her reads because the things she was saying have been asked and answered. However she wins for having the balls to stand up to her and remain unbothered.. Everybody knows that Nene is virtually illiterate and looks like George Washington. What's new about that?
This comment is hilarious! "Nene is damn near illiterate". I TOTALLY agree. I always felt Nene wasn't the brightest person. She's street smart but that's it.
mallen1978 However, to me that is Claudia's tactic. She studied, came prepared and waited for her moment to strike. It didn't matter what she said, the fact that she kept her cool and bagged NeNe at every turn while NeNe lost her temper is what did it. I don't like neither one, but no one has ever stood up to NeNe, not even Kandi or Sheree'. They have no staying power and are easily intimidated or afraid of being fored from the show.
Tori Loy With these shows you almost have to come ready. Lol. Just in case somebody tries it with you. Because chances are they will. Even if you try to be nice.
You were SPOT ON about the part where NeNe showed she is threatened by Kenya. She assumed Kenya was playing puppet master. Claudia broke that assumption right on up tho!
I'd like to point out that everyone was mad at Claudia for speaking her truth about her upbringing and being mixed. But We all saw that Nene went there with her and brought up her being a "Mixed Breed". Hello! So let's let Claudia's struggle of growing up mixed be acknowledged, when she says it was rough
Lauren Finesse Sad to say but there are a lot of "Nenes" in the world. Why do I have a feeling that Nene would trade looks with Claudia if she could? Is it the nose job? The blond hair? The makeup foundation that's two shades too light?
Exactly! Answer is ALL of the above. U could really tell on this episode that Nene and Pheadra aren't as happy as they pretend to be, in their real lives.
Nene needs to remember that without the show (and the platform it brings), she may not (not if you ask me) have her career in the entertainment industry that has made her 'rich'. Claudia, Cynthia and Kenya both had careers without this show that Nene could only dream of. Basically, what I am saying is that Nene needed this show to make a life, the other girls were grinding and getting ahead without it. Yes the show can further push your career, but Nene needed this show to even make one in the first place! Out of all the girls (including Demitria), Nene and Porsha were nobodies in the industry until Bravo made their life. If I were Nene, I'd bow my head to the ladies who have worked hard for 15-20 years building a career without Bravo cameras and social media, even if I had more money.
When Demetria hit Phaedra with that "8 years" comment, there was a HUSH over Jerusalem, and Phaedra's spazztastic lips damn near fell right off her face! Ha! I felt no sympathy for her because she was RUDE for NO REASON, like wheeeeet?? Girl focus on your kids and mind your business! I've said this for the past 2 seasons, NeNe is a BULLY, and can't stand anyone who is pretty and independent and doesn't back down from her loud moose baritone. Good for Claudia, she is my new fave
NeNe disgusted me this episode. When someone is coming for her, she always seems to resort to mentioning how much money she has. In the end, who cares? If you have to go to that resort every time, then that obviously says something about your character and how superficial & materialistic you are. I understand she came along way from that stripper pole but obviously this is a situation where the money & fame changed her. I was really there for Claudia's readings. I think NeNe is threatened by the fact that Claudia is already known and has fame outside of this show. NeNe needs to do some self-evaluation.
I believe Nene mentioning her monetary success in this argument was relevant. Claudia said she has been on the scene for 17 years, thus Nene clapped back with but you want my money/success. It's true, or else she wouldn't be on the show. Claudia and Kenya have been in the game forever, yet neither, have anything to show for it. Meanwhile, in less than half that time, nene has had more success financially. 17 years and Claudia's net worth is 550k and nene is at 10mil come on now? In all reality, all of the women on the show are materialistic. Except, maybe Kandi.
Claudia DESTROYED NeNe at that dinner. She didn't just read NeNe. She read, edited and then re-wrote NeNe. It was spectacular. I already liked Claudia, but now I LOVE her. Kenya and Claudia are my favorites
Phaedra was tripping hard on last nights show! Between Demetria vs Phaedra and then Nene vs Cynthia and then Nene vs Claudia the show was EPIC!!! #MustSeeTV Claudia won that one!!
Claudia is the best one on there. Just the fact she spoke up when these griwn woman were sitting at the table acting like kids and basically taunting this one person. I dont like those games.
I'm just trying to figure out how the hayle Roger Bob could find the time to shoot with Kenya who is not his woman but a business venture but ain't shot a scene with his lady yet😳😳😳You betts not give any other woman what you ain't giving me. Demetria, please don't accept this man cheerio as his apology for his lack of attendance on the show & maybe even these last 8 years, this has got to be hard for her watch. What woman wants to be humiliated publicly, guess he won't be at the reunion either.Ain't The son on have & have nots single. Girl he cute😉
I agree that Claudia held her own. Somebody needs to bring Nene down a peg or two. I just think it's a shame that instead of Nene and Phaedra using their age,wisdom and life experiences to mentor Claudia and Demitria, they talk about them and put them down. You would think that with everything that Nene and Phaedra has gone through that they would be a little more positive.
That episode was glorious. I was laughing so hard when Claudia told NeNe to spell bridesmaid! It reminded me of when Kenya told Porsha to spell scepter. So fucking funny.
did you catch Kenya trying to help Claudia when she was reading nene. when Claudia was talking about nene going to jail , Kenya was like lowkey saying 7 or 8 times. . Kenya was basically saying get her, get her. I laughed!!
Girrrrl this morning on the Rickey Smiley morning show the comedian said pork, chicken and beef flavored wigs will be going on sale. Talking about ne ne wig looking like uncooked ramen noodles. Lol
Miss Rox, you are my favorite vlogger! I am so glad Fraudra got read, this response is brought to you by the number "8".........Moose called Claudia a "HalfBreed" talk about a lowblow, thats fucked up, to go to race? Thats how you can tell she was losing, she insults gays and now bi racial people yet, people still like the Blonde Baboon, I have to say this was my favorite housewives episode because finally someone (outside of Marlo) finally read Nene, I love Claudia and you really could tell Nene was losing steam on them noodles, and for those of you that dont know, Nene has hit up Claudia back in 2009 on Twitter congratulating her and giving her praise......I am Team Beauty...Kenya, Claudia, Cynthia, and Demetria #TeamPretty !
You know what I like about Claudia? She seems to be a mature person who wants to do the right thing (wanting to resolve the issue) ....but is also able to knock you down a few levels if she needs to. In my book, she is probably the smartest girl on the show; because she had sense enough to do her research on NeNe (and probably everyone else) because she knew at some point one or more of these girls would come for her.....and she was ready!
Claudia most definitely read Nene last night. her delivery was completely " I shoot straight from the hip ". She had no fear of Nene as the new girl and her takedown was so effortless I believe she was actually holding back ,that she wasn't even using her best material. I say we just give her a peach now and be done with it.
See Claudia had watched ALL seasons of RHOA & I Dream of Nene, sifting thru all her drama & downfalls. Bcus she likely knew that she & Nene were gonna be at odds, especially bcus she & Kenya are friendly, so Claudia came with ammunition. But Nene was not ready, neither was Phaedra.
Chile, Nene lost big and I was so glad someone stood up against Nene the beast. Nene doesn't like anyone to see her sweat and she was sweating bullets. I just hope Claudia is prepared for them to go in on her feet at the reunion.
Yeah if nothing changes over this season as far as Claudia and the rest of the girls who don't like her goes they're going to give her the blues at the reunion. Or at least try to.
My thing is, yes, Nene was gotten together. But I can't feel like Claudia did it because she was using recycled reads from twitter. Nothing she said was original, and that was the same I felt about Kenya. I think the art of reading is to be able to have the T and drop that bomb on that ass. Marlo talking about Sheree sleeping on blow up mattresses.... bomb. Kim saying Sheree returns everything to Neiman Marcus... bomb. Sheree saying Nene got repoed in Home Depot... bomb. I don't think Claudia brought anything new to the table. Her comebacks were good, but none of it was original, in my opinion. But lovely review, you were spot on as always.
It's kinda hard to drop tea on someone who has been on our television in our living rooms for seven seasons. We know pretty much all there is to know already. The beauty of it all was that Nene clearly thought no one would give it to her, which makes it even better. She knew her own damn tea and she STILL chose to go there. She didn't think the day would ever come when someone would use her old tea against her brand new ass.
No it wasn't new tea, but no one has said it to NeNe face except Marlo when she said she had a Donald Trump wig on. Lmao. The thing is Claudia wasn't feeling NeNe attitude, so she got her together. And also Claudia wrote a blog explaining how she has done NeNe favors and for NeNe to sit up there and act brand new with her just reinforces why NeNe has no friends on the show. She has stabbed them all in the back in some way shape or form. Sheree, Kim, Dwight, Greg, Marlo, Cynthia Candi, Pakdra, etc!
I get that a lot of her reads came off of twitter, but she still bobbed and weaved a like a champ. You could tell she was comfortable and she was dropping tea in AWL the right spots. You can tell when someone can't snap when they keep starting every sentence off with " At least". Lol! "Well, at least I didn't strip" " Well at least my shows didn't get cancelled" " well at least my hair doesnt look like cooked noodles."
I get that. Like I said, Nene got read and it was well deserved. But anybody can feed you lines. When Marlo was getting Nene together, it was original. I can't say the same for Claudia.
Claudia won..not by what she said and she said some good stuff but she was classy & mature. She said what needed to be said a longtime ago. My favorite.
In Connecticut we called it "ranking" or "snapping". Quick back and forth. You get mad, you lose. You pause too long before coming back, you lose. You start name calling instead of clever comebacks, you lose. My grandmother said it was called "playing the dozens". Great video as always!
An outstanding review Rox's! You are so perceptive. I enjoyed that sooo much. I totally agree on your opinion on Phaedra, she truly deserved that comment from Demetria. Yes, I too think Claudia could become my fave housewife in time..along with Kenya, who are both gorgeous to look at on the screen.
I was living for caludia when she dissed nene ,I feel like she should get a taste of her own medicine I was laughing so hard when pheadra had that 'stuck on stupid' look on her face when she realized she messed up. she need to have several seats and so dose nene
Roger Bobb does not want to be on camera or around those messy women. All demetria can do is make excuses for his absence rather than tell the truth to the other women. I can't blame him.
Nene said something about there already being lips on the glass when Porsha said she needed another drink. They were laughing about it, I think it was about Claudia. Kandi asked what was funny, & Porsha said she'll tell her later. I didn't get that. Claudia was looking blown. She caught the shade.
Claudia was the Read Champion last night but I have yet to hear a Read better than Phaedra read on Kenya at the reunion. If Claudia can top that read then I'll Crown her officially the Read Queen. Lmao😂😂😂😂😂😂
I'll give it to Claudia over phaedra because it was obvious that phaedra sat up late at night and wrote and revised, highlighted and edited that read, down to the head turn at the end. Claudia had those natural snaps
That reunion read was more like a "robot/rehearsed" read. All Kenya, or anyone had to say to clap back was mention that the father of Phaedra's two children is a convicted felon, a fact that she cannot deny.
Fraudra read Kenya? Oh ok, well I think the Judge gave a better read to Apollo, and I gotta better read from Angela Stanton's book "Lies of a Housewife" Fraudra is such a southern belle, talking to Kenya about getting sperm donor, when she married and had kids with a felon, get outta here! Fraudra read her alright, clap clap! I guess you will also say, DumDum dragged Kenya. Well DumDum was demoted and replaced by Kenyas best friend, so who really got dragged!
I think Phaedra was mad because Demetria invited Apollo to the video release party and he embarrassed her. Nobody else's man was there and she may have thought it was a setup but that's still no excuse for her rude behaviour.
***** I understand what you were saying about Phaedra's initial read of Demetria but, I think she was lashing out on Demetria because of her bottled up Apollo anger...Poor Demetria.
I agree. It doesn't excuse her behavior but like the saying goes "misery loves company" and Phaedra went after that girl Demetria for no valid reason (or at least not one the had anything to do with her where it was her place to comment about it)
So I wrote my initial comment before I watched the entire video and forgot that she made that especially shady comment at dinner and Yes she's being extremely messy so I revoke my "excuse" but I really do think that her Apollo baggage is at the root of it all lol. *****
Tamar ain't no pop artist. But you're right ain't no reason why Demetria can't do what Tamar did. Demetria ain't got a Vince though. She got a Roger Bobb and we see where that's got her thus far. Lol.
I instantly thought about Tamar and Tina Turner. Yeah she had success with Ike, but the odds were still stacked against her because of her ago. And I remember when she came out as a solo artist, and they did make a big deal about her age.
Rox, you describe boutique hotels correctly! I worked @ one (sfhoteldesarts) & the rooms are smallish, but the hotels usually have nice characteristics. Very cutesy.
I said YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAS when Claudia told Nene "spell Bridesmaids! The S isn't silent boo" THATS WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT!!!!!!!! Yaaaas Somebody FINALLY told her ass about that!
When Demetria dropped that line "The only thing you and I have in common is Eight" and Claudia dropped that line about Edges, i was like BOOM! Its over for the mean girls!!! XD !!!!! lol!!!!
Lol, I thought I was the only one that thought Demetria's "number 8" comment did sound like she prepared it in advance just in case she had to go there.
I've been watching CZcams videos for a little while now and I've never really read the comments on any of the videos I watch. I've learned that the comments are just as entertaining as the videos.
You said it correctly about nene. Shes so used to intimidating people with that loud mouth. Also shes quick with her words, so most people get thrown completely off. Claudia did meme exactly how she was supposed to. Bring up all the things about her thats wrong on so many levels. Number 1 for me is the way she pronounce things and she doesnt try to correct herself. Oh but she can throw shade so thats all that matters. That does something to me
I agree with you 100% that Claudia won that battle. Baggin', snappin', readin', the dozens ... whatever you call it, whomever either can't snap back with a good comeback or gets mad loses. Also, the snaps, the reads have to have some truth to them. Claudia was on point, she never even raised her voice. Nene lost focus and was reaching. It was good to see someone get Nene "all the way together" as they say. Kenya knew what she was doing by bringing Claudia to the show.
I know it's stupid but I don't get issue with the hotel room size. A) it's free and B) YOU'RE IN PUERTO RICO!!! I'm going to the Virgin Island in March and got the smallest and cheapest room I could find cuz the only things I'll be doing in my room is showering/changing/sleeping. I guess if I were the size of a moose like NeNe, I'd need a huge room too....otherwise, what does it matter? You're on a tropical island!!!
Hey Rox! Love your reviews. Catch this tea, Gochea was on last seasons LA Hair. She was on the episode when they traveled to Atlanta and her and Papa Bear had words along with other stylist from Atlanta. She is a pill hun.
I just appreciate the fact that somebody finally stood up to Nene! She is a damn bully and wins arguments by being the loudest person. Yes it was shade from the blogs, but Nene was BOTHERED so much so she goes to the go to you a "ho" line which for me is the same as saying your man has a small penis after the fact. As soon as she started with the "girl bye" I could see she was shook. Claudia had her ass on the ropes toe to toe honey! I thought I wouldn't like Claudia but she alright. Phaedra need not talk about anyones relationship being that she was pussy poppin on an air mattress with her convict DNA husband. She got a ring.....Which he prolly paid for with somebody retirement check. She can have several seats in the prison waiting rooms. It's time to get these mean girls together. And before someone tries to come for me I'm not #teamtwirl or anything like that, but right is right and wrong is wrong.
NeNe seems like a bully to me and had the attitude of "how dare you speak to me in that tone" when Claudia said what she had to say. Somebody needed to shut her ass down, she's always being loud and talking about "I got money" but like Claudia said "Money can't buy you CLASS" and NeNe doesn't have any class what-so-ever.
I could not wait for you to review this show! Phaedra did way too much. What happened to the Southern Belle. Is that in Chapter 2 "ask somebody you barely know - have you smoked crack". Where was all that bass when Apollo told her he was not getting that key on the trip last year...lol Love your watch by the way
I love Claudis she won and I loved it best recap to date and I watch everyone you do this one had me on the office floor laughing thanks for the up lift at work.
This episode is my favorite and your review on season 7, Ep 10 is a plus to me... You put in great personality and it was fun to watch. Claudia won and I like watching her on the show.
Good review Rox..IMO Nene shut Claudia tf down with the one read about her wore out box..Many will disagree bc they don't like Nene but the shit Claudia was sayin was old asf and Nene has addressed that bs since day 1... Claudia couldn't even defend the comment about her clit started babbling and backpedaling..Yall giving Corns and Calluses too much credit with that dry ass shit she was saying with them damn critical condition ass feet.
+MamacitaNatural No stanning here whatever tf that mean, yall kill me with these made up ass words..It's called an opinion which u didn't have to comment on...Keep Scrolling and Trolling
Ne Ne was a follower on Claudia Twitter since 2009. Claudia has put and shown all the evidence on Instagram of Ne Ne sending her messages, telling Claudia to ignore hatters and being supportive to Claudia. This was long before she was on RHOA. They have known each other for years, as Claudia use to interview the housewives way back from season 2.
Good review, back in the day we called it roasting. Yea Claudia definitely knocked her down a couple inches. The facial expression she made when she said "oh you went to college" lol Nene said I'm rich and Claudia said "and that's the hair you decided to buy" lmao Nene knew she was losing. People usually get loud or ready to fight. Lol
It about time for someone to shut Nene up. Nene can be very MEAN. I hate to see women act like this but, Claudia read her from cover to cover. "One for Claudia..."
Claudia got into that bully's ass. It was hilarious and refreshing to see that someone who's not as aggressive or a loud mouth could simply dismantle her with quick intellect and a sweet, friendly, calm smile all the way through...too funny. Every bully gets their day, that junk is so true.
I'm so over Nene Leaks, and he is clearly bothered by Kenya and Claudia. Also, she went way too far with that "half breed" comment. She's said some offensive thing about people in the past but this took the cake. It showed a complete lack of class on her part. I was so here for Claudia going in on Nene. i'm tired of everybody letting her get away with everything and pretending she's innocent.
Just became a fan of itsRox! I like how you say the things most bloggers won't. So let me add to what you said. Phaedra's stress aside I saw her coming at Demetria as a good entertainment lawyer. That's what she does and that's where all her money can come from, what's wrong with getting some more clients? What she should have done is pulled a Kim Zol and stayed home...but I dunno, maybe contracts got rewritten after that...so. hmm. I am glad you pointed it out. I am so glad that nobody thinks that Demetria paid for this trip and didn't get a peach. So every season someone randomly happens to have money to pay for all the girls and they went? Riiight. Kenya should start a marketing company because she seems to be able to sell whatever she has on offer. "I know her better than anybody here..." nobody said a word about that. At Twirl Marketing we put one HELL OF A SPIN on whatever you're selling. Nene did have a point though and let's be real, if Nene had not jumped in they would have slowly ate Phadera before the dinner. (and passed the dish back to the waiter) so in Nene's way she was "being a very good friend" to Phaedra. When it got down to the petty arguing it was just uncomfortable and I was not here for it.
I believe Phaedra or Kandi smashed Roger Bob back in the day...What's the big deal about the rooms? If I was "ballin" I'da just went to the front desk and upgraded my room... when Claudia started roasting Nene, i lost it! ROFL!
Claudia's feet didn't bother me personally because she mentioned how bad they were on previous episode;Phaedra was being unnecessarily shady to Demetria, she probably was stressed about her situation with Apollo or trying to show out in front of her new BFF Nene, Nene is rubbing off on her; Nene and Phaedra were being ungrateful towards Demetria; Phaedra was the mean girl of the episode;Yes, Nene feels Kenya is her competition; We called 'shade' 'ranking' back in the day, Claudia was clearly getting under Nene's skin with her reads so Nene hit below the belt with the 'whore' and 'half breed' comments.
Yeah, Nene lost the shade battle by a slight margin when she got mad that Claudia said that about her edges, she was caught off guard with that one...LOL Demetria is horrible with the comebacks because when Phaedra said Don't invite me anymore..Demetria said nothing, but that should have given Demetria an easy comeback.
I agree with you that Claudia won this readfest. I know about bagging and when that person gets mad they start grabbing for straws. And that straw that Nene starts to grab is the hoe card. I'm like how you know about whether Claudia's clit has left. Was Nene down there the other day. And those on here screaming that Kenya started it, please stop cause all the negative energy came from the 3 Little Pigs. And Rox you are right about Nene, she is insecure and does feel threaten by Kenya. I can't understand why, but next week I know it's going to get better.
Who else is thinking Bravo is emphasizing the shade Claudia threw on Nene's edges slam by still having Nene appear in her one-on-one confessionals in her Stewart straw wig??! LOL
GurrrrrL I was living for Claudia too..LMAO...I was disgusted with Phaedra,because I just couldn't understand what happened to bring all of that on.They seemed to have only been in the same place twice.At the video screening party & Kandi's party and I didn't see any real interaction between them.When did Phaedra & Nene become such busom buddies? I thought I would die when Claudia said in her talking head something about Nene's walking around looking like she had Ramen Noodles on her head..It was all over for me..LOL..Great review as usual Rox..
Phaedra is starting to be a Bitter Betty. Instead of her being happy that she had the opportunity to be away from all the 'stress' she's going through, she wanna take shots at everybody. Her happiness will never come if she keeps doing that.
Nene will befriend Claudia or apologize soon. I think she quickly saw that against her might be the wrong move. I'll see if I'm right but I think she'll try to patch it up if the opportunity presents itself definitely.
I feel like Claudia won... Not because of her reads because the things she was saying have been asked and answered. However she wins for having the balls to stand up to her and remain unbothered.. Everybody knows that Nene is virtually illiterate and looks like George Washington. What's new about that?
This comment is hilarious! "Nene is damn near illiterate". I TOTALLY agree. I always felt Nene wasn't the brightest person. She's street smart but that's it.
If you have to study past seasons or have "mean girl" sessions about someone to have "reading" material, you're not too unbothered
mallen1978 Clearly, them alleged reads were weak asf.. Nothing was original
mallen1978 However, to me that is Claudia's tactic. She studied, came prepared and waited for her moment to strike. It didn't matter what she said, the fact that she kept her cool and bagged NeNe at every turn while NeNe lost her temper is what did it. I don't like neither one, but no one has ever stood up to NeNe, not even Kandi or Sheree'. They have no staying power and are easily intimidated or afraid of being fored from the show.
Tori Loy With these shows you almost have to come ready. Lol. Just in case somebody tries it with you. Because chances are they will. Even if you try to be nice.
You were SPOT ON about the part where NeNe showed she is threatened by Kenya. She assumed Kenya was playing puppet master. Claudia broke that assumption right on up tho!
I'd like to point out that everyone was mad at Claudia for speaking her truth about her upbringing and being mixed. But We all saw that Nene went there with her and brought up her being a "Mixed Breed". Hello! So let's let Claudia's struggle of growing up mixed be acknowledged, when she says it was rough
Lauren Finesse Sad to say but there are a lot of "Nenes" in the world. Why do I have a feeling that Nene would trade looks with Claudia if she could? Is it the nose job? The blond hair? The makeup foundation that's two shades too light?
Exactly! Answer is ALL of the above. U could really tell on this episode that Nene and Pheadra aren't as happy as they pretend to be, in their real lives.
Nene needs to remember that without the show (and the platform it brings), she may not (not if you ask me) have her career in the entertainment industry that has made her 'rich'. Claudia, Cynthia and Kenya both had careers without this show that Nene could only dream of. Basically, what I am saying is that Nene needed this show to make a life, the other girls were grinding and getting ahead without it. Yes the show can further push your career, but Nene needed this show to even make one in the first place! Out of all the girls (including Demitria), Nene and Porsha were nobodies in the industry until Bravo made their life. If I were Nene, I'd bow my head to the ladies who have worked hard for 15-20 years building a career without Bravo cameras and social media, even if I had more money.
When Claudia said her hair looked like dried ramen noodles and that she had on a founding fathers wig, I was done!! LOL!! Claudia 1, Nene 0
When Demetria hit Phaedra with that "8 years" comment, there was a HUSH over Jerusalem, and Phaedra's spazztastic lips damn near fell right off her face! Ha! I felt no sympathy for her because she was RUDE for NO REASON, like wheeeeet?? Girl focus on your kids and mind your business!
I've said this for the past 2 seasons, NeNe is a BULLY, and can't stand anyone who is pretty and independent and doesn't back down from her loud moose baritone. Good for Claudia, she is my new fave
Demetria KNEW HER SCRIPT to read Phaedra and was READY! I was here for it!
Claudia's new nickname is "The Hammer". GURL!!! She knocked NeNe dafuq out! I loved it!!!
I thought you talking about her toes when you said 'the hammer' :/
ifeolu894 lmao! That, too, I guess.. lol!
ifeolu894 LMAO
Joaning was also another word for throwing shade too. Claudia definitely won. It was almost easy for her
NeNe disgusted me this episode. When someone is coming for her, she always seems to resort to mentioning how much money she has. In the end, who cares? If you have to go to that resort every time, then that obviously says something about your character and how superficial & materialistic you are. I understand she came along way from that stripper pole but obviously this is a situation where the money & fame changed her. I was really there for Claudia's readings. I think NeNe is threatened by the fact that Claudia is already known and has fame outside of this show. NeNe needs to do some self-evaluation.
I believe Nene mentioning her monetary success in this argument was relevant. Claudia said she has been on the scene for 17 years, thus Nene clapped back with but you want my money/success. It's true, or else she wouldn't be on the show. Claudia and Kenya have been in the game forever, yet neither, have anything to show for it. Meanwhile, in less than half that time, nene has had more success financially. 17 years and Claudia's net worth is 550k and nene is at 10mil come on now? In all reality, all of the women on the show are materialistic. Except, maybe Kandi.
***** but Nene brought up the money before Claudia mentioned anything about her 17 year "career." It wasn't relevant.
can someone remind Nene that she lives in Sandy Springs, not Buckhead.
Claudia DESTROYED NeNe at that dinner. She didn't just read NeNe. She read, edited and then re-wrote NeNe. It was spectacular. I already liked Claudia, but now I LOVE her. Kenya and Claudia are my favorites
I kept laughing at Kandi's faces during the reads lol
Phaedra was tripping hard on last nights show! Between Demetria vs Phaedra and then Nene vs Cynthia and then Nene vs Claudia the show was EPIC!!! #MustSeeTV
Claudia won that one!!
Claudia is the best one on there. Just the fact she spoke up when these griwn woman were sitting at the table acting like kids and basically taunting this one person. I dont like those games.
I'm just trying to figure out how the hayle Roger Bob could find the time to shoot with Kenya who is not his woman but a business venture but ain't shot a scene with his lady yet😳😳😳You betts not give any other woman what you ain't giving me. Demetria, please don't accept this man cheerio as his apology for his lack of attendance on the show & maybe even these last 8 years, this has got to be hard for her watch. What woman wants to be humiliated publicly, guess he won't be at the reunion either.Ain't The son on have & have nots single. Girl he cute😉
Right!!!
I hadn't thought of that, good point because he did shoot with Kenya...
Vick Vick i'm sick of that shade bullshit as well. these woman are old and tired.
I agree that Claudia held her own. Somebody needs to bring Nene down a peg or two. I just think it's a shame that instead of Nene and Phaedra using their age,wisdom and life experiences to mentor Claudia and Demitria, they talk about them and put them down. You would think that with everything that Nene and Phaedra has gone through that they would be a little more positive.
That episode was glorious. I was laughing so hard when Claudia told NeNe to spell bridesmaid! It reminded me of when Kenya told Porsha to spell scepter. So fucking funny.
did you catch Kenya trying to help Claudia when she was reading nene. when Claudia was talking about nene going to jail , Kenya was like lowkey saying 7 or 8 times. . Kenya was basically saying get her, get her. I laughed!!
Girrrrl this morning on the Rickey Smiley morning show the comedian said pork, chicken and beef flavored wigs will be going on sale. Talking about ne ne wig looking like uncooked ramen noodles. Lol
Miss Rox, you are my favorite vlogger! I am so glad Fraudra got read, this response is brought to you by the number "8".........Moose called Claudia a "HalfBreed" talk about a lowblow, thats fucked up, to go to race? Thats how you can tell she was losing, she insults gays and now bi racial people yet, people still like the Blonde Baboon, I have to say this was my favorite housewives episode because finally someone (outside of Marlo) finally read Nene, I love Claudia and you really could tell Nene was losing steam on them noodles, and for those of you that dont know, Nene has hit up Claudia back in 2009 on Twitter congratulating her and giving her praise......I am Team Beauty...Kenya, Claudia, Cynthia, and Demetria #TeamPretty !
another amazing job! your a natural !
This was the best review of this episode hands down! You were the first one to give me what i needed for the episode! your the winner ROX!
You know what I like about Claudia? She seems to be a mature person who wants to do the right thing (wanting to resolve the issue) ....but is also able to knock you down a few levels if she needs to. In my book, she is probably the smartest girl on the show; because she had sense enough to do her research on NeNe (and probably everyone else) because she knew at some point one or more of these girls would come for her.....and she was ready!
Claudia most definitely read Nene last night. her delivery was completely " I shoot straight from the hip ". She had no fear of Nene as the new girl and her takedown was so effortless I believe she was actually holding back ,that she wasn't even using her best material. I say we just give her a peach now and be done with it.
See Claudia had watched ALL seasons of RHOA & I Dream of Nene, sifting thru all her drama & downfalls. Bcus she likely knew that she & Nene were gonna be at odds, especially bcus she & Kenya are friendly, so Claudia came with ammunition. But Nene was not ready, neither was Phaedra.
Yezzsssss Claudia ain't scared of Nene. Girllll you r hilarious. TFS
Chile, Nene lost big and I was so glad someone stood up against Nene the beast. Nene doesn't like anyone to see her sweat and she was sweating bullets. I just hope Claudia is prepared for them to go in on her feet at the reunion.
Yeah if nothing changes over this season as far as Claudia and the rest of the girls who don't like her goes they're going to give her the blues at the reunion. Or at least try to.
After last night, I think Claudia will be prepared for that moment.
I have never understood whenever two or more people have an issue, they have to have these group confrontations. The whole scene was extra to me.
I agree
I think Claudia came ready. If she didn't start shit woth someone, she would lose that peach.
My thing is, yes, Nene was gotten together. But I can't feel like Claudia did it because she was using recycled reads from twitter. Nothing she said was original, and that was the same I felt about Kenya. I think the art of reading is to be able to have the T and drop that bomb on that ass. Marlo talking about Sheree sleeping on blow up mattresses.... bomb. Kim saying Sheree returns everything to Neiman Marcus... bomb. Sheree saying Nene got repoed in Home Depot... bomb. I don't think Claudia brought anything new to the table. Her comebacks were good, but none of it was original, in my opinion. But lovely review, you were spot on as always.
It's kinda hard to drop tea on someone who has been on our television in our living rooms for seven seasons. We know pretty much all there is to know already. The beauty of it all was that Nene clearly thought no one would give it to her, which makes it even better. She knew her own damn tea and she STILL chose to go there. She didn't think the day would ever come when someone would use her old tea against her brand new ass.
LoL true.
No it wasn't new tea, but no one has said it to NeNe face except Marlo when she said she had a Donald Trump wig on. Lmao. The thing is Claudia wasn't feeling NeNe attitude, so she got her together. And also Claudia wrote a blog explaining how she has done NeNe favors and for NeNe to sit up there and act brand new with her just reinforces why NeNe has no friends on the show. She has stabbed them all in the back in some way shape or form. Sheree, Kim, Dwight, Greg, Marlo, Cynthia Candi, Pakdra, etc!
I get that a lot of her reads came off of twitter, but she still bobbed and weaved a like a champ. You could tell she was comfortable and she was dropping tea in AWL the right spots. You can tell when someone can't snap when they keep starting every sentence off with " At least". Lol!
"Well, at least I didn't strip" " Well at least my shows didn't get cancelled" " well at least my hair doesnt look like cooked noodles."
I get that. Like I said, Nene got read and it was well deserved. But anybody can feed you lines. When Marlo was getting Nene together, it was original. I can't say the same for Claudia.
That would be a great Tag video ideal. U know I don't mind putting my shit out there. Lol
I literally been stalking your channel all day waiting for this lol...hope your day was great
I couldn't wait for your review!!! Claudia got Nene together and was laughing at her the entire time.
Claudia won..not by what she said and she said some good stuff but she was classy & mature. She said what needed to be said a longtime ago. My favorite.
I am beyond weak about that Kandi voice though! Lmao!
In Connecticut we called it "ranking" or "snapping". Quick back and forth. You get mad, you lose. You pause too long before coming back, you lose. You start name calling instead of clever comebacks, you lose. My grandmother said it was called "playing the dozens". Great video as always!
Fashion Freq TV Totally agree, and thanks. :)
In New Orleans it's ribbing, same rules as well.
yea nene definitely lost. it almost reminds u of the sheree/marlo dragging in south africa.
d1esel6er Honey, that Marlo wouldn't let Sheree off the hook for shit. Whew I remember laughing so damn hard!
An outstanding review Rox's! You are so perceptive. I enjoyed that sooo much. I totally agree on your opinion on Phaedra, she truly deserved that comment from Demetria. Yes, I too think Claudia could become my fave housewife in time..along with Kenya, who are both gorgeous to look at on the screen.
I was living for caludia when she dissed nene ,I feel like she should get a taste of her own medicine I was laughing so hard when pheadra had that 'stuck on stupid' look on her face when she realized she messed up. she need to have several seats and so dose nene
Roger Bobb does not want to be on camera or around those messy women. All demetria can do is make excuses for his absence rather than tell the truth to the other women. I can't blame him.
Lol you get me every time with that impersonation of Kandi
Been waiting on this REVIEW!
Nene said something about there already being lips on the glass when Porsha said she needed another drink. They were laughing about it, I think it was about Claudia. Kandi asked what was funny, & Porsha said she'll tell her later. I didn't get that. Claudia was looking blown. She caught the shade.
Claudia was the Read Champion last night but I have yet to hear a Read better than Phaedra read on Kenya at the reunion. If Claudia can top that read then I'll Crown her officially the Read Queen. Lmao😂😂😂😂😂😂
I'll give it to Claudia over phaedra because it was obvious that phaedra sat up late at night and wrote and revised, highlighted and edited that read, down to the head turn at the end. Claudia had those natural snaps
That reunion read was more like a "robot/rehearsed" read. All Kenya, or anyone had to say to clap back was mention that the father of Phaedra's two children is a convicted felon, a fact that she cannot deny.
John Dillinger rehearsed or not that was the read of the century. Claudia is Phaedra 2.0 in my eyes they both can read the hell out of anyone.
sampa2nyc Exactly, basic ass read.
Fraudra read Kenya? Oh ok, well I think the Judge gave a better read to Apollo, and I gotta better read from Angela Stanton's book "Lies of a Housewife" Fraudra is such a southern belle, talking to Kenya about getting sperm donor, when she married and had kids with a felon, get outta here! Fraudra read her alright, clap clap! I guess you will also say, DumDum dragged Kenya. Well DumDum was demoted and replaced by Kenyas best friend, so who really got dragged!
Lol...yeah "baggin"...we called it "clownin" The men in my family do that still whenever they all get together...it's hilarious
Claudia got Nene all the way together lol. I was wondering what her purpose on the show was til this episode.
I STAN for Claudia. That is all. P.s: great review 4itsrox!
you never disappoint with these reviews. when the episode is good your reviews are always just as good! lol
I think Phaedra was mad because Demetria invited Apollo to the video release party and he embarrassed her. Nobody else's man was there and she may have thought it was a setup but that's still no excuse for her rude behaviour.
***** I understand what you were saying about Phaedra's initial read of Demetria but, I think she was lashing out on Demetria because of her bottled up Apollo anger...Poor Demetria.
Nah now we can't keep giving Phaedra that excuse. She was being a bitch.
***** Exactly fakedera ass was being a shady ass heffa . demtria is nicer than i am because i would've cussed her at the studio.
I agree. It doesn't excuse her behavior but like the saying goes "misery loves company" and Phaedra went after that girl Demetria for no valid reason (or at least not one the had anything to do with her where it was her place to comment about it)
So I wrote my initial comment before I watched the entire video and forgot that she made that especially shady comment at dinner and Yes she's being extremely messy so I revoke my "excuse" but I really do think that her Apollo baggage is at the root of it all lol. *****
Even Andy Cohen was embarrassed by Nene on WWHL he was hiding his face behind index cards when ole sasquatch Nene was going on her tirade.
Tamar close to 40 Demetria can do too and she can really sing
Tamar ain't no pop artist. But you're right ain't no reason why Demetria can't do what Tamar did. Demetria ain't got a Vince though. She got a Roger Bobb and we see where that's got her thus far. Lol.
Tamar is R&B/Pop in my opinion
When I heard Demetria sing, I actually thought she sounded a lil like Tamar.
I instantly thought about Tamar and Tina Turner. Yeah she had success with Ike, but the odds were still stacked against her because of her ago. And I remember when she came out as a solo artist, and they did make a big deal about her age.
Don't forget about Anita Baker. She was was in mid 30's when she came out. Anita still sellout today.
Lmao You reading the hell out of Phaedra today! Lmao😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Rox, you describe boutique hotels correctly! I worked @ one (sfhoteldesarts) & the rooms are smallish, but the hotels usually have nice characteristics. Very cutesy.
The Kandi voice kills me every time....every damn time 😂😂😂😂
best recap, truthful, unbiased and plain.
I'm there with you Rox when you reference Aretha Franklin's song!!! You said it a while back and I cackled!!! Love your reviews!!! 😀👍
I TOLD YOU CLAUDIA NOT READS ON DECK!! She just been waiting and she folded Nene's ass up LOL
I said YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAS when Claudia told Nene "spell Bridesmaids! The S isn't silent boo" THATS WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT!!!!!!!! Yaaaas Somebody FINALLY told her ass about that!
When Demetria dropped that line "The only thing you and I have in common is Eight" and Claudia dropped that line about Edges, i was like BOOM! Its over for the mean girls!!! XD !!!!! lol!!!!
Lol, I thought I was the only one that thought Demetria's "number 8" comment did sound like she prepared it in advance just in case she had to go there.
I've been watching CZcams videos for a little while now and I've never really read the comments on any of the videos I watch. I've learned that the comments are just as entertaining as the videos.
Sabrina Bryant Honey the comments are usually always funnier than the video....I have some hilarious viewers, lol.
You said it correctly about nene. Shes so used to intimidating people with that loud mouth. Also shes quick with her words, so most people get thrown completely off. Claudia did meme exactly how she was supposed to. Bring up all the things about her thats wrong on so many levels. Number 1 for me is the way she pronounce things and she doesnt try to correct herself. Oh but she can throw shade so thats all that matters. That does something to me
I agree with you 100% that Claudia won that battle. Baggin', snappin', readin', the dozens ... whatever you call it, whomever either can't snap back with a good comeback or gets mad loses. Also, the snaps, the reads have to have some truth to them. Claudia was on point, she never even raised her voice. Nene lost focus and was reaching. It was good to see someone get Nene "all the way together" as they say. Kenya knew what she was doing by bringing Claudia to the show.
I know it's stupid but I don't get issue with the hotel room size. A) it's free and B) YOU'RE IN PUERTO RICO!!! I'm going to the Virgin Island in March and got the smallest and cheapest room I could find cuz the only things I'll be doing in my room is showering/changing/sleeping. I guess if I were the size of a moose like NeNe, I'd need a huge room too....otherwise, what does it matter? You're on a tropical island!!!
Ok, this was my first time watching one of your videos, but you had me cracking up! I was literally crying!! Lol
This is the best episode of this season so far.. The shade had me in tears! Haha
This has been my favourite review so far. You nailed every point. Ps love the jumper.
Hey Rox! Love your reviews. Catch this tea, Gochea was on last seasons LA Hair. She was on the episode when they traveled to Atlanta and her and Papa Bear had words along with other stylist from Atlanta. She is a pill hun.
This was a frickin' review. Girl u are hilarious. Omg I really see it for you in radio or some similar industry. Loved this!!!
I just appreciate the fact that somebody finally stood up to Nene! She is a damn bully and wins arguments by being the loudest person. Yes it was shade from the blogs, but Nene was BOTHERED so much so she goes to the go to you a "ho" line which for me is the same as saying your man has a small penis after the fact. As soon as she started with the "girl bye" I could see she was shook. Claudia had her ass on the ropes toe to toe honey! I thought I wouldn't like Claudia but she alright. Phaedra need not talk about anyones relationship being that she was pussy poppin on an air mattress with her convict DNA husband. She got a ring.....Which he prolly paid for with somebody retirement check. She can have several seats in the prison waiting rooms. It's time to get these mean girls together. And before someone tries to come for me I'm not #teamtwirl or anything like that, but right is right and wrong is wrong.
NeNe seems like a bully to me and had the attitude of "how dare you speak to me in that tone" when Claudia said what she had to say. Somebody needed to shut her ass down, she's always being loud and talking about "I got money" but like Claudia said "Money can't buy you CLASS" and NeNe doesn't have any class what-so-ever.
I could not wait for you to review this show! Phaedra did way too much. What happened to the Southern Belle. Is that in Chapter 2 "ask somebody you barely know - have you smoked crack". Where was all that bass when Apollo told her he was not getting that key on the trip last year...lol Love your watch by the way
I love Claudis she won and I loved it best recap to date and I watch everyone you do this one had me on the office floor laughing thanks for the up lift at work.
This episode is my favorite and your review on season 7, Ep 10 is a plus to me... You put in great personality and it was fun to watch. Claudia won and I like watching her on the show.
Claudia read nene downnnn, lol I like this girl
Good review Rox..IMO Nene shut Claudia tf down with the one read about her wore out box..Many will disagree bc they don't like Nene but the shit Claudia was sayin was old asf and Nene has addressed that bs since day 1... Claudia couldn't even defend the comment about her clit started babbling and backpedaling..Yall giving Corns and Calluses too much credit with that dry ass shit she was saying with them damn critical condition ass feet.
I agree she needs to do way better if she wants to come for nene that nene
Deqa Mohamud Ok! You can't be playing when u tryna read a chick like Nene
I agree too. I wasn't impressed by Claudia's read. LMBO @ corns and calluses. Now that was a read!
Does Nene pay your bills b/c you are stanning HARD in the comment section 🎤Let it go, let it goooo🎤
+MamacitaNatural No stanning here whatever tf that mean, yall kill me with these made up ass words..It's called an opinion which u didn't have to comment on...Keep Scrolling and Trolling
Ne Ne was a follower on Claudia Twitter since 2009. Claudia has put and shown all the evidence on Instagram of Ne Ne sending her messages, telling Claudia to ignore hatters and being supportive to Claudia. This was long before she was on RHOA. They have known each other for years, as Claudia use to interview the housewives way back from season 2.
Your kandi impressions are hilarious!!!😂😂😂
Good review, back in the day we called it roasting. Yea Claudia definitely knocked her down a couple inches. The facial expression she made when she said "oh you went to college" lol Nene said I'm rich and Claudia said "and that's the hair you decided to buy" lmao Nene knew she was losing. People usually get loud or ready to fight. Lol
Lmfao! Girl you have me in here rollin right now with tears coming from my eyes! Too funny! I'm a new subscriber and I am loving your reviews.
It about time for someone to shut Nene up. Nene can be very MEAN. I hate to see women act like this but, Claudia read her from cover to cover. "One for Claudia..."
Claudia got into that bully's ass. It was hilarious and refreshing to see that someone who's not as aggressive or a loud mouth could simply dismantle her with quick intellect and a sweet, friendly, calm smile all the way through...too funny. Every bully gets their day, that junk is so true.
I'm so over Nene Leaks, and he is clearly bothered by Kenya and Claudia. Also, she went way too far with that "half breed" comment. She's said some offensive thing about people in the past but this took the cake. It showed a complete lack of class on her part.
I was so here for Claudia going in on Nene. i'm tired of everybody letting her get away with everything and pretending she's innocent.
Thank you for the lesson on bagging! LOL! I really needed that because I'm a Demetria.
Just became a fan of itsRox! I like how you say the things most bloggers won't.
So let me add to what you said.
Phaedra's stress aside I saw her coming at Demetria as a good entertainment lawyer. That's what she does and that's where all her money can come from, what's wrong with getting some more clients? What she should have done is pulled a Kim Zol and stayed home...but I dunno, maybe contracts got rewritten after that...so. hmm.
I am glad you pointed it out. I am so glad that nobody thinks that Demetria paid for this trip and didn't get a peach. So every season someone randomly happens to have money to pay for all the girls and they went? Riiight.
Kenya should start a marketing company because she seems to be able to sell whatever she has on offer. "I know her better than anybody here..." nobody said a word about that. At Twirl Marketing we put one HELL OF A SPIN on whatever you're selling.
Nene did have a point though and let's be real, if Nene had not jumped in they would have slowly ate Phadera before the dinner. (and passed the dish back to the waiter) so in Nene's way she was "being a very good friend" to Phaedra. When it got down to the petty arguing it was just uncomfortable and I was not here for it.
I believe Phaedra or Kandi smashed Roger Bob back in the day...What's the big deal about the rooms? If I was "ballin" I'da just went to the front desk and upgraded my room... when Claudia started roasting Nene, i lost it! ROFL!
Nene did lose that battle but the pussy comment Nene threw out there was HILARIOUS.
Claudia's feet didn't bother me personally because she mentioned how bad they were on previous episode;Phaedra was being unnecessarily shady to Demetria, she probably was stressed about her situation with Apollo or trying to show out in front of her new BFF Nene, Nene is rubbing off on her; Nene and Phaedra were being ungrateful towards Demetria; Phaedra was the mean girl of the episode;Yes, Nene feels Kenya is her competition; We called 'shade' 'ranking' back in the day, Claudia was clearly getting under Nene's skin with her reads so Nene hit below the belt with the 'whore' and 'half breed' comments.
Yeah, Nene lost the shade battle by a slight margin when she got mad that Claudia said that about her edges, she was caught off guard with that one...LOL Demetria is horrible with the comebacks because when Phaedra said Don't invite me anymore..Demetria said nothing, but that should have given Demetria an easy comeback.
I agree with you that Claudia won this readfest. I know about bagging and when that person gets mad they start grabbing for straws. And that straw that Nene starts to grab is the hoe card. I'm like how you know about whether Claudia's clit has left. Was Nene down there the other day. And those on here screaming that Kenya started it, please stop cause all the negative energy came from the 3 Little Pigs. And Rox you are right about Nene, she is insecure and does feel threaten by Kenya. I can't understand why, but next week I know it's going to get better.
Who else is thinking Bravo is emphasizing the shade Claudia threw on Nene's edges slam by still having Nene appear in her one-on-one confessionals in her Stewart straw wig??! LOL
LOL @ "the wind chill blowing in"
That sweater is so pretty! It looks warm too lol
Claudia said what Cynthia should have said on season1. Lets hope she learnt how to have a backbone.
GurrrrrL I was living for Claudia too..LMAO...I was disgusted with Phaedra,because I just couldn't understand what happened to bring all of that on.They seemed to have only been in the same place twice.At the video screening party & Kandi's party and I didn't see any real interaction between them.When did Phaedra & Nene become such busom buddies? I thought I would die when Claudia said in her talking head something about Nene's walking around looking like she had Ramen Noodles on her head..It was all over for me..LOL..Great review as usual Rox..
I agree NENE LOST! She got mad and lost control.
Phaedra throws the best shade...subtle yet always effective haha
Nene is threatened by Kenya.
Phaedra is starting to be a Bitter Betty. Instead of her being happy that she had the opportunity to be away from all the 'stress' she's going through, she wanna take shots at everybody. Her happiness will never come if she keeps doing that.
That sweater is everything ! You look cute Rox.
Nene will befriend Claudia or apologize soon. I think she quickly saw that against her might be the wrong move. I'll see if I'm right but I think she'll try to patch it up if the opportunity presents itself definitely.
