RHOA S5 E1: Kenya is CRAZY & Kim is a Hypocrite

Season 5 of Real Housewives of Atlanta started out with a BANG and there is NO telling the drama that is in store this season. I LOVE the new intro to the show by the way...

Nene Leakes is commuting back and forth from Atlanta to Hollywood, working on her show “The New Normal” and Gregg is steady trying to get her back. I still think that, even though they may be technically divorced, they are still together because they are seen together ALL THE TIME. She was also seen hanging out with “Glee” creator Ryan Murphy where they talked about Obama fundraising dinners with $20,000 plates and even tried to call Tyler Perry (the number she called was disconnected).

 

 Kandi Burruss has a new man in her life, Todd (who used to work production on the show), and they are moving in together. Kandi says that she bought her new house in CASH and it has a guesthouse to go with it but I will come back to this as well…

Kim Zolciak is pregnant again, has hired Sweetie back as her assistant, and is being forced to move out of her mansion by her landlord/decorator for…I don’t really know why. She complains about the quotes from movers to pack up her house and put it in storage but that’s what she gets for flaunting that big house and all of her stuff like she has money. They better move back into that townhouse until they figure it out or she better call Big Poppa again…either one. I will come back to Kim later because she was talking RECKLESS in this episode…

Phaedra Parks is looking to open up her funeral services to animals as well and is seen visiting an animal hospital to learn more about sick and dying animals I guess. We also saw her this episode playing with one-year-old son Ayden (who is just as CUTE as he wants to be).

Cynthia Bailey discussed placing her daughter Noelle from homeschooling into public school with Noelle’s father, Leon (who is just as FINE as ever) & Peter. Noelle wants to go to a regular school and have those high school experiences. She also holds a modeling search for Jet’s Beauty of the Week and enlists newbie Kenya Moore to help but quickly regrets…

Speaking of Kenya Moore, she is the newest cast member and is quickly making her mark on the show, but not in a good way. She is acting really CRAZY already, calling her “security” on one of Cynthia’s employees, Carlton saying, “People are crazy” (takes one to know one).

Also, she was making rude comments about the models (though some should NOT have been at a model search) & was trying to push Cynthia out of her own agency it seems like. At the end of the search, she got up and gave a speech as if HER name was on the front door. Then when Cynthia got up and said something too, she acted like she intimidated Cynthia, but she quickly read her (Cynthia was shading & reading for the GODS this episode and I LOVE it!!!!!).

Going back to Kandi’s house: remember last season when Kim was implied to be a racist because of the “African babies at the orphanage” comments and was mad at Kandi as her “friend” for agreeing with Cynthia? Or on the Miami bus trip when she was SOOOOO offended that Nene called Sweetie her “slave”? Ok…

Well it seems that Kim is a hypocrite because she was heard making racist and bigoted comments about Kandi’s new house and neighborhood when she was given a tour. She said things like, “When I got off the exit to go to Kandi’s house, I immediately locked my doors” suggesting that she would get robbed or mugged in the neighborhood.

Also, when she saw the place where Kandi’s indoor pool would go, she said, “You don’t need sun! If I was black, I’d have an indoor pool too.” Kandi said that the mayor of Atlanta lives around the corner but that didn’t stop Kim from talking reckless as if she is not getting EVICTED and has to move out of her house.

Also, my girl Nene be KNOWING as she tweeted:

Racist comments! I been telling y’all this 4 a while now 

We didn’t see Porsha Stewart at all this episode and she is not featured in the intro to the show. I’m sure she is coming in later, as she is seen getting into it with Kenya on several occasions.

Next episode, Cynthia and Kenya keep their drama going during a congratulatory dinner for Nene Leakes. Of course, Cynthia feels protective of her friend Nene and is mad when Kenya gets close (Isn’t Nene just the center of attention? LOVE IT!!!!! #TeamTALLS) Nene also runs into Kim and Sweetie for the first time in a long time. Stay tuned to ~Elle Shanice~ for full recaps of the Real Housewives of Atlanta season 5 episodes!!!!!
