Season 6 of Real Housewives of Atlanta is Here: My Premiere Recap
I won’t sit up here and lie and say I didn’t miss watching the ladies of Real Housewives of Atlanta. Chile, I surely was ready for their shenanigans to be back in my TV life. Since season 5 wrapped Nene Leakes got re-married to her hubby Gregg, Phaedra Parks had a new baby, Kandi Burress is still making money hand over fist, Cynthia Bailey is still FAHN as she wants to be, Porsha Stewart Williams is getting a divorce and Kenya Moore probably got a new wig or something. I don’t know for her life.
So let’s jump into it!
Nene’s Gift of Perspective – Mr. and Mrs. Gregg and Nene Leakes are in their living room unwrapping fancy wedding gifts like Hermes plates and crystal vases from Tiffany & Co. They discuss Porsha and Kordell’s impending divorce and Nene says he knows “how to break up with a bitch.” Yes, because nothing says WE’RE DONE like changing the locks on someone when they’re out.
Social Media Heartbreak – Porsha meets with her lawyer and says she found out that her husband filed for divorce on Twitter. Kordell Stewart ain’t the right type of bitch. What type of terrible person are you to announce your divorce on social media before you tell your spouse?? She says maybe there’s a chance for her marriage to be saved if he agrees to do certain things.
Ma’am. Your husband is a horrible person who has no tact or dambs to give.
Moving Backwards – Cynthia’s packing up shop at the Bailey Agency to move to the new building that Peter bought for his new venture Bar One. Here’s to hoping that he can keep that afloat. Randomly, Kenya Moore shows up like the Ghost of Trifling Present, dragging drama with her. Kenya tells Cynthia that she wasn’t evicted from her house and that it was a “misunderstanding.” Ok girl. Also, she’s butthurt that Nene invited her ex Walter to her wedding and that’s why she didn’t go. She gotta tuck in her salty because it’s giving me hypertension.
Phaedra’s Presidential Palace – Phaedra has a newborn and a new home that is under construction. She refers to her new son as Mr. President, because her first son is her “Prince” so why not? Y’all know Ms. Parks is extra but I ain’t mad at her for aiming high for her kids.
Anywho, Apollo is making renovations in their house and I wonder when he became a contractor. We STILL don’t know what that man does. He is still Tommy from “Martin.”
Grits and Grrrr – Kandi is making grits for her boo when he comes in and slaps her in the booty. I guess Todd has embraced his role on the show because he seemed all uncomfortable last season. The two talk about how her family is not that enthused about them getting married and I wonder what drama we missed this summer. We’ll find out. Todd gets a massive side-eye though when he tries to blame the RHOA ladies for the demise of Porsha’s marriage, as if they swayed her to get ambition. Chile… BYE!
Mentorship for Porsha – Nene meets up with Porsha, who she now regards as a little sister and someone in need of a mentor. They talk about Porsha’s impending divorce but she’s keeping hope alive for a reconciliation like Nene and Gregg’s. And she’s keeping her ring on because it symbolizes the oath she made to God. The moment you divorce me on Twitter, that oath is DONE. The Big Guy will understand because that is utterly ridiculous.
Mama Be Knowing – Porsha goes to see her mom and sister after the deposition she had to do with Kordell, and she’s heartbroken. That Aint Shit ex of hers admitted to changing the locks of the house one day because she missed some supposed curfew. And what hurts her is how he couldn’t give a reason about why or how their marriage disintegrated. Mama Williams brings up the fact that Porsha had a miscarriage and Kordell only visited her ONCE in the week she was in the hospital.
That Mama finger is not to be played with!
She tells her “He doesn’t want a wife. He wants the image of a wife.”
Annddd the rumors about Kordell being gay are picking up steam. Often, where there’s fuel, there’s fire. Time will tell, doe. But that dude is THE WORST!
All Wrong at All White – Cynthia has an all-white party to celebrate the new location of the Bailey Agency, and Apollo comes in a black suit. I’ont like when people can’t listen to instructions. Ennehweighs, things are cool until Kenya blows in with her bullshit that shoulda been gone with the wind. She walks in with Miss Lawrence, who continues to act like a human purse by always being on someone’s arm.
Kenya needs business so she makes it hers to bug Nene about her wedding that she didn’t show up to. Mrs. Leakes tells her that she sent her an invite but Kenya is mad that she didn’t get checked up on as she went through stress. ”Sure I didn’t believe she’s homeless. Not the person who has all these DVDs!” lolol I love Nene shade! She then questions her friendship for inviting Walter to the wedding and Nene tells her she can ask whoever she wants to be at her event.
Kenya, being the roach she is, won’t leave Nene alone. She follows her all up through the warehouse until Gregg had to serve as a human shield as Nene walks away not giving a damb. The woman is a special type of crazy. I know she wants to maintain a storyline but this is just pitiful.
It seems that this season is gonna be EXPLOSIVE, based on the previews they showed us when this episode wrapped. I’m ready! And I just wanted to leave y’all with some Phaedra shade. Because I’m petty.
Whatcha think of the premiere episode? Did you wanna mollywhop Kenya like I did? She tapdances and vacations on my very last nerves!

It is time to write that book. Come into The Book Academy and learn how to go from IDEA to INK.

I had never heard the Kordell might be gay rumors until last night’s episode but I surely thought it right before it was brought up. If nothing else, he’s a total bitch. Straight up.
With her baby weight still on her, Phaedra isn’t nearly as big as her mama but she looks even more like her now.
I’m rooting for Todd ‘n Kandi. I like them as a couple. Truly hope they work out and that he’s not cheating on her or using her. This sneak peak from Bravo of Mama Joyce reading Kandi makes me leery: http://now.bravotv.com/bnrblq63
Based on the scenes for the upcoming episodes, shit just got real for all the ladies.
Yasssss!!! I am here for this ratchet gold television. You hear me lol. Nene throws the darnest shade and I liveeeee and I loveeeeee. And yasss Kordell sure does know how to break up with a bishhhh. lol. Yasss Laneitha Leakes!!! lol. But yeahhhhh I heard that Kordell gay shiggity when the show first started. I saw a Youtube about Kordell down there sucking d*ck at the park lol by Funky Dineva!!! Hilarious!!! He head looks like a dented box lol. Idk what Porsha saw in him…he’s not good looking…his attitude is crap andddddddd he didn’t like to have sex. Ummmm yea…next!!!!! lol. Good post Luvvie!
I haven’t see it, yet but this makes me want to find it right now!
I am currently watch but I love it. “I am not worried about if Kendra Moore is uncomfortable, I am worried about how fabulous I will be looking!”
Nene did her thing. I wish Cynthia would make sure they stay in line and kick Kendra out. She is just to nice.
But the previews for this season is too damn much! I need for next sunday to come now! ASAP!
Kandi is relax but I knew she would give it to someone who needed it.
Kordell has a severe case of bytch azzness!! It’s a terrible condition!
Don’t he? It’s highly unfortunate.
Kandi: Mama Joyce is messy. she doesn’t want Kandi to be happy
I don’t get why Kenya is on the show in the 1st place. She isn’t close to being a housewife.
Poor Porsha: Korsell ain’t isht. And he must not care how this makes him look. My man knows who Kordell Stewart is because he is a sports guy. He now knows what he’s capable of because he listens to me complain about the shoddy treatment Porsha got.
Mama Joyce must be getting checks because she’s all in the mix this season. And Kordell is truly the worst. I have nothing else to use to describe his Aint Shitness.
I can’t stand Kenya but I must admit if it wasn’t for her last season would have been boring and neither was Kim shoot or Sheree. It’s always one whose role doesn’t apply to the title lol.
I loved it and can’t wait for the petty drama!
While I didn’t agree with Todd, I understood where he was coming from. Porsha seemed happy with her life until her girls let her know what options she had. That she could make a decision for herself. That she was an adult and not just a wife. Once she saw that, she probably saw her marriage differently, and Kordell, the ass that he is, was responding to changes in Porsha.
Walter has lived in ATL all this time, and it makes more sense to believe that they have known Walter longer and they just met Kenya. It amazes me that Kenya thinks that they are friends. They are co-workers. Kenya needs to deal.
So the girls basically turned on the light when Porsha previously had no electricity. I see.
Good recap! I howled when Nene said Kordell acted like a ‘queen’. I was like YUP! Lol!
Mama Joyce seems like she wants Kandi all to herself. Family therapy might be needed.
Fights air @ Ms. Lawerence continues to be someone’s human purse ha! Also them Kordell rumors been around since he was in college ( showing my age here) and yes that NeNe shade is everything….”I’m so tired of getting Kenya together!
Look. Miss Lawrence is content being someone’s shadow on RHOA and I ain’t mad at his hustle but he gotta know he’s an accessory. Also… LMAO at ”I’m so tired of getting Kenya together!” I love Nene. I can’t help it.
Kenya needs to just build a bridge and get over it………or jump off! And I will take the latter.
I really want to know if Porcha has a hearing problem because I’m not understanding why she is always at scream while everyone else is at talk. I would have thunk she would have adjusted her volume after her first season and especially the reunion show… her scream talk really annoys me… am I alone here?
Ahahahahaha this comment is hilarious and I will forever more tell people they are ‘at scream’ while I am ‘at talk’.
IJS, she talks so loudly to talk over others that her deceased grandpa can hear her in heaven… poor communication tactic.
TBT and NTNS (truth be told and no tea, no shade ;-)), I’m not a Kordell fan, but he may have felt the only way she would listen is if she read he was leaving her. …let us learn as we move forward through this thing called LIFE.
no you are not lol!!! I had to wonder myself lol
HA! Poor baby ain’t got NO inside voice. Speaking in volume RECESS ALLATAHM.
lolol after i heard her momma scream talk, everything became clear. i still like porsha tho, she’s harmless.
Yaaassss, i missed this drama and it’s gonna be fire! Kandi’s coming outta pocket at someone later this season? Who? Why?
I was shocked to see gone with the wind craycray back, i just didn’t expect her back after the boyfriend for hire fiasco. Didn’t Nene talk to Andy about casting?! Her brand of cray is just too much, i just can’t with her and it’s only episode one of this season, ugh!
Luvvie, you are hilarious! YES, I wanted to throw Kenya on the floor and do the 40’s on her face!! In my recap, I said that Kenya is the Facebook friend you can’t stand but you don’t unfriend them because you have to see what they will do next. My body is ready for the rest of the season. I KEEP watching the supertrailer hoping it will miraculously turn into full episodes of the season. No luck!
It’s hard to see Porsha dealing with her divorce from whatshisname but I look forward to watching her evolve and find her happy.
It really hurts my soul that I share a name with the craziest, most annoying person on the show. She gotta go.
I wish she’d twirl her tail off the show and stop crying about that fake relationship already. Great review per usual. I wanna know why Christopher Williams is on this season. I pray it’s not for Krazeya.
I’m thinking that Mama Joyce’s continuous problem with Kandi’s fiances has to do with money. I think Mama Joyce is afraid that these men will marry Kandi and take all of her money-leaving nothing for MAMA JOYCE. She doesn’t care about Kandi’s happiness or well being. That old heffa is looking out for herself. All I know is that for all of her hollerin’ “I’m a Christian!”, she sure doesn’t act very Christian like.
Did you see Kandi in the previews? She said, “You heard what the f*ck I said b*tch I was drag your ass!” or something like that??!! Was she taking to Kenya????
^^^ I dunno who she was referring to but she was on FIYAH MAD bout it!!! I think it might be whomever planted the cheating rumors.
i watched mrs. leakes walk away in that gif about 50/11 times! so good!
Great recap, as usual, Luvvie! But I am so not here for Porsha’s whining and not so subtle hints about Kordell being gay. Those rumors about him have been around for years, and if you chose to ignore that and marry for lifestyle, don’t put his business out there now because he played you (BTW, I’m in full agreement that filing for divorce and her finding out on Twitter was a queen move, as Mrs. Leakes put it!) But I take issue with using his sexuality and alleged “demons” to cast him in a bad light. He did plenty of horrible things on camera that would be enough for us to understand why you want to follow through with the divorce; just leave his sexuality out of it. He is horrible enough on his own!
I agree I remember when last season started people talked about how folks have always questioned his sexuality. Which further let’s me know clearly she didn’t believe them and married him anyway.
Pretty sure all if not most of her on screen tears over Kordell are part of building a case for a decent divorce settlement. I ain’t even mad cause that twitter divorcing was a straight up punk move. Your Barbie want out of her box? Fine, let her go, but respect the woman you married.
Great Recap Luvvie listen I love LeNethia Leakes and all her shade throwing. She don’t eem have time for the silent but deadly shade hers stings ya like lemon juice in a cut.
Bravo is the worst making sure we all know that Theresa Gudice & her husband bought Nene a Hermes platter for her wedding gift while they in the middle of all this fraud/bankruptcy mess.
Kenya all ways doing the most with the least. They all told her last season that nobody was breaking up with Walter cause she did. So she really needs to stop getting butthurt when he’s invited to a function. Nene had over 400 guest. She didn’t even need to see him if she didn’t want to.
I read somewhere that the whole Miss Joyce/Todd thing may be a fake out as on camera “inspiration” for Kandi’s chitlin circuit play. Perhaps that’s why Todd is more comfortable, he’s playing a role. I think in the ends they do indeed get married and Miss Joyce comes around to liking Todd again. I already think that being upset about the stripper was an act because Kandi posted on twitter about Miss Joyce and one of her aunts having a party for Kandi’s line of sex toys.
No one has anything to say about Derek J and those itty bitty yellow shorts??? Mmmmkay…
Talking ’bout he ain’t plus sized. I guess him and Mariah Carey shopping at the same stores.
I’m just now watching RHOA (always a day behind overseas) but these recaps have given me life!!! But I have one question is this lawyer the only divorce lawyer in the Atl (and I’m from there) lol! But uhm Kordell secrets about to come out bc she is a scorned bish!!!
Umph! I was wondering the same thing! Maybe Bravo has him on retainer…
Kordell left Porscha for Walter #impettytoo
100% here for the Georgia juice this season. And it’s gonna be RIPE. Kenya was perfectly pathetic, and I could not believe the way she just dragged on a moment that was over. And for WHAT–WALTER! She showed her childish Stallion Booty that night, for all the wrong reasons. I was embarrassed for her. Porsha, bless her heart–I said it all along that her husband was a controlling piece of work. I can recall so many women on FB talmbout–“let a man be a man, and that’s what a husband does” and I’m sittin’ there like…what kind of marriages are Y’ALL in?
As for Kandi, I’m always gonna feel like it’s too soon, but that’s her life ya know? Phaedra is busy being a mom, so we probably won’t see/hear much from her, aside from the Kenya chat at dinner with Apollo. I swear I thought he said he was some kind of collections dude at some point, though.
Cynthia–tsk tsk. What is Peter doing with their….HER money? It seems like every once in a while, money issues come up. And I see her in the Woman Within catalog from time to time, so it’s not like she’s not getting modeling gigs!
Kenya is a mess, and that’s messing with my queen of queens–NENE! 600% not here for that. That is the wrong person to be poking on, biting on, annoying on. She will get loud, she will get particular, she will get in your face and it won’t be fun. Don’t try it Kenya!
LOL @ Ms D! LOL!
[…] Photo […]
Being an ATLien, you don’t know how happy I was to have my fix of homwgrown ratchet TV back! Yaaas.
Nene had me rollin’ from the start. Kordell is a prime example of why I say some men can be more petty, spiteful and straight up bitchafied than ANY female.
Porsha is so naive but I don’t doubt she loves that man. And he DRAGGED her in public like nobody’s business smdh.
I still don’t understand why Kenya is so salty about Walter being invited to Nene’s wedding…why doe?
Can we discuss the look on Greg’s face while Kenya and Nene were getting to it? LOL.
Mama Joyce must be the mother-in-law from hell, forreal. When you date Kandi, you date Kandi AND her mother, straight up. I cannot wait to see that huge fight Kandi got into from the season previews. She was going HAM. You can take the girl outta College Park…lol.
Oh, and Phaedra stating her newborn baby was “as pale as Michael Jackson” gave me LIFE.
First question? Who in thee hell were Porsha and her mama performing for? I ffw’d that scene so fast. All that loud-talkin’ and finger pointin’ No! No! No! it was so scripted and fake. I can’t wait to see Kandi snap!! That will be EPIC!
