Hi everyone, welcome back.

This is part two of a two-part recap.

If you're wondering where part one was, well, go check in the feed and be sure to subscribe so that way you always get your episodes.

But enough of that.

Let's get right back into the episode.

So Stacey's like, well, I don't think that divorce should ever be celebrated, but I'm not Ashley.

And it also didn't take me 10 years to get divorced.

So she's in a different place than me.

I'm a fast divorcer and everyone knows it.

So

you also weren't fighting for money, though, Stacy, because as I recall from your divorce, you were like, I don't care.

I don't need any money.

Surely he'll keep providing.

Exactly.

Dummy.

Yeah.

And also, maybe you weren't ever really getting divorced.

I don't know what the story is with her at this point.

Yeah, exactly.

So she asked about the boys and

everything.

And then Nash is best like, you know, last time that we saw each other, it got a little tense.

And, you know, and I understand why you left.

It was probably pretty embarrassing for you to show up in the same car as someone else in our group.

It's mortifying, but I just, I really wish you hadn't left.

And Stacey's is like, well, I just felt like I was being ganged up on.

Do you think it was too harsh?

i'm just asking because you said you understood why i left and now she's like well the thing is like just a few days before we went you know we were you know giselle and i we went to this essence black women in hollywood luncheon and there was someone there and well she's an actress so pause for respect and admiration okay yeah we spoke to an actress and she was like i gotta talk to you and stacy's like

okay

and she proceeds to show me screenshots of like legal documents that say that you know you're the defendant and that TJ is the plaintiff.

So I'm like, is he actually trying to sue Stacey?

I don't even know what to say to that.

Okay, so it's true.

Yes.

That's crazy.

Stacy, okay, what I'm saying is you're not going to maintain to me that you're telling the truth, like you're being truthful.

And she's like, I'm telling you everything I have told you has been the truth, but I can't talk about someone who brought you.

I mean, this is just ridiculous.

Do you want to know the real truth, Ashley?

Yes.

Yes.

I forgive TJ.

Oh, I got so good.

Like, the way she

tees up a fake reveal.

This is twice in one episode.

I have forgiven TJ and he has gone on with his life and I am a completely new space.

I'm like, you know, if he is suing you, it's not.

Like, you don't get to say you've forgiven him and therefore it's over.

No, he has to forgive you if he's suing you.

Oh, fuck this guy.

He's suing you.

No, I'm just saying, theoretically, the logic is that.

Like, if someone says, I heard that someone's suing you and you're like, it's okay because I forgive him.

I forgave him.

Yeah.

Court dismissed.

Case dismissed.

I forgave him.

So, yeah.

It's pretty much the opposite.

Ashley's like, it's just really hard to talk to you while you're eating a lollipop made out of, is that a

dead fish?

Got a snack.

I've just got a snack, Ashley.

You know, listen, I've forgiven TJ, and I'm not going to rehash and go back and forth about an imaginary friend and imaginary documents.

And she's like, oh, really?

So there's nothing imaginary about her.

She's very much in the flesh.

Nell Carter.

That's her name.

Nell Carter.

That's who it is.

Nell Carter died.

This is the epitome of an imaginary friend.

She is not with us anymore.

Fine.

Jack Harry.

I said it.

Jackie Harry has the goods on TJ.

Okay.

Well, I don't even know who that is what do you mean you don't know who that is oh mary you don't know who that is oh who is mary i don't even know who these people are

it's literally the sitcom that took place in dc do you not realize the sitcom from our neighborhood i don't understand oh i'm currently dating lester does that count for anything wait a minute

hold on i need to venmo lester hold on give me a second hold on i'm getting a call from calvin one second

So Ash was like, this is why everyone thinks that you're fake.

And she's like, well, let me tell you this.

She's like, well, and this is why Kay is calling you fake.

And this is why girls think this.

And I'm trying to understand.

She goes, well, I don't think if you, I don't care if you think that I'm fake.

And so Ash was like, well, so you're just going to lay and wait until someone potentially comes out, until it potentially comes out, right?

She goes, I am not going to lay and wait.

I have been living a beautiful life with Arabella and my ex.

We just went to a very interesting Indian Moroccan fusion restaurant.

They put a zine, tagine lid on my head, which I did not appreciate, but it's their art and I'm not going to say no to their art.

Well, you know what?

She says, yeah, I've been living a beautiful life.

She goes, oh, okay, well, in the event that he doesn't come forward, she goes, well, that's new information for you.

It's not new for me.

It doesn't matter what anyone says.

And if you want to keep talking about this, I will leave.

Gilda.

Gilda's like, yeah, it's great being part of this conversation, ladies.

I just love seeing you both.

Does anyone want that snack?

I got some Mott's applesauce.

Ash is like,

I just want you to be honest.

Wait a minute.

Before you leave, I just want you to know that Lester says that you owe him some money.

I don't even know who Lester is.

Who is this woman?

That's Pearl from 227.

Hey, Tracy.

Is there always been a window here?

She probably would.

That's someone I would believe.

Pearl, I would believe.

Pearl would totally have that.

She's like,

Pearl's got the goods.

I love Pearl.

So, um, right, P.

Helen Martin.

Ashley's like, um, so wait, just be honest.

Are you actually divorced?

She goes, oh,

I am absolutely divorced from this conversation.

Wait a minute.

Well, why isn't it in any databases?

I actually search the databases of the state of Virginia.

because it's not anybody's business to know where it is but it's public that's how it happens

well i don't do that i don't have to divorce in public or with the government or let anyone know or even get divorced

But wait a minute.

You want to see if I'm divorced?

Because it's clear as day.

It's in the Virginia database.

And Ashley's like, yeah, if you search me, it's very public that I'm divorced, but I couldn't find Stacey to save my soul.

But then also, like, why can't you, why aren't you also looking up TJ's lawsuit in public databases?

That's what's confusing to me.

Well, that's true.

Yeah.

Ashley's so concerned about like how this all works.

That's true.

It would show up in the public database.

So see it all the way through, girl.

So Ashley's like, what if,

yeah, what even if you're suing civilly, right?

Even if, yeah, I guess Oak School is still

governmental.

I feel like it should be out there.

So Stacey tells us, I mean, why does she have time to Google about me?

Like, she needs to be Googling a voice coach, okay?

And then we see all those headlines from when Ashley sang.

This made me LOL.

I was dying because then they put all the headlines of Ashley just like crashing and burning doing the Roberta Flack thing and then coming back and being like, wait a minute, that was just a bad day.

I couldn't hear the band.

I'm going to do it again.

Killing me softly with his song.

Killing me softly.

I mean, she should not be worried about my husband or my marriage or Arabella if we are supposed to be friends.

I just don't understand.

Why would she, why wouldn't she just ask me?

I'm like, she is literally asking you right now and it's one-on-one.

I don't like liars, except for Giselle.

Well, do you know that I'm a liar?

She goes, well, I don't know that you're not a liar.

Okay.

Well, once you speak to your imaginary friend who is very real, she vacuumed a fish out of a fish tank and

was also in ladybugs with Rodney Dangerfeld.

Well, I don't care.

You're making it sound like I'm misbehaving.

You ain't misbehaving.

Anyway, listen, I don't want to hear you.

No, Carter Jacket, Harry.

It's a real person.

Look,

I don't care about this.

If you can show me these documents, then we can rekindle our friendship.

It's like, okay, then Stacy, you can take a pause.

You love to walk off.

And so Stacy is like, of course, going to storm off again.

And that's exactly what she does.

Yeah.

And so Ashley is like, what is she running from?

I should be running after she blew that hot ass breath in my face.

Gilda's like, tell me about it.

Oh, gosh.

So now

Giselle is just walking around her house going, I feel so pretty.

Look at me.

Oh, let's look at the hair today.

Oh, yes, hair.

Oh, yes.

And she's like, I'm so happy being alone.

And then we just see Giselle doing alone things like looking at her phone on her bed and then calling herself pretty in the mirror.

I mean, I get it.

I live alone.

Giselle and I do walk around doing that.

I'm like, God, I love this.

The last like two or three years have been storylines of Giselle's daughters going off to college.

And now the storyline is her daughters have gone to college.

So we're getting incremental progress.

on Giselle's boring home scenes.

Yeah, love it.

So

she tells us her typical day in her life is working out, working on projects that she's working on, reasonably shady, GNA.

Do I have time for men?

Yes, I do.

Giselle has been in the streets.

So now she calls Ashley and they're talking about the bloom party.

It's time to bloom.

We got to bloom.

We're blooming.

Yeah, and she's like, it's going to be a Cinderella's ball, but also blooming, but also Cinderella.

So she's like, oh, I love that.

And she says, I think I might bring my friend Tia.

She's super sweet and a real British person.

So you'll love her.

We're going to have a fabulous time.

So she invited Stacey, but she's not sure she's going to happen because things blew up.

And

she does an imitation of her.

She's like, Ashley Darby, I've never lied.

And she's like, yeah, she says that that was an imaginary person with an imaginary document.

And Giselle's like, no, ma'am, no ma'am and Ash is like like what I'm really trying to understand is like what like what are you about are you even divorced like you know I couldn't even find it in the database or anything and Giselle's like this bitch isn't even divorced she's like

so now we go to Kirina and Kirna is visiting new housewife Angel we meet her husband Bobby who I know that's a phone in his pocket, but I could not.

I was like, I need to rename this just to watch

swinging around in that pocket.

I know because he was like sitting on the counter and his pants were like all and then he like jumped off the counter and everything like bounced and i you know i went back i was like let's let's examine that for a moment

bobby

it's like literally the shape of a giant phone and i was still like that's hot he's also like 10 feet tall and i was like bobby so then uh kierna was like i want me some angel like me and angel been friends for a very long time and apparently they've been friends since they were 18 and they've worked together and everything and like uh she like angel was her client and then they worked at bt and all this stuff and so this is like kiorano's big find is angel

so angel says that the biggest misconception about her is that people think she's a bitch because she has a resting bitch face but she's a girl's girl she serves matcha tea to her guests and she has wellness retreats so

Yeah, she's Maryland.

She's a Maryland girl, but they moved to Colorado because Bobby was with the Broncos, but now Bobby's back.

And they're just like like happy to be back in the DMV because this is their home.

Also, they could be on TV.

Yeah,

yeah, they go hiking and well, not really hiking, kind of walking down that a path behind the houses or whatever.

And then she talks about her business, Wanderland Outdoors, which is basically luxury outdoor experiences, which is an oxymoron, if you ask me.

Walk around that one, Rob.

Invested nature.

Full Full agreement over here.

You would.

Yeah, no, no, thank you.

But she loves meditation and mindfulness, which leads me to believe that she's going to be crazy because I don't know anybody into meditation and mindfulness that's not a nutcase.

And if you're out there being offended right now, you know that it's true because

think about your inner voice, what it's telling you.

Why do you need to meditate?

Because you want to.

I need to meditate so much.

Think about it.

What led you there?

What got you to that place?

what took you to that place um and i say this as someone who is uh who is sort of like into yoga these days but look i mean hey i'm a bitch yoga

uh and also i think it's i do laugh

because i do meditate and every time i try to meditate is because i'm like being horrible or like i have some like deep-seated issue and i just it's so hard to meditate like to just sit there

i do laugh at all like i mean i like I'm really, I really enjoy yoga, but I, um, I do laugh at all the, the, this, the, the things.

Like, if you have this in your practice, feel free to do this and think about the earth and what the earth gives.

And we're in our sixth season.

And blah, blah, blah.

I always am like, like, just tell me how to stand.

You're like, God, just let me bend far enough to blow myself, please.

Only reason I'm here.

I'm like, just please tell the hot guys to take off their shirts already.

We're 20 minutes in.

Can we get

the Lini up in this bitch?

Thank you.

It is pretty, it is pretty funny.

I don't know if this is sort of a universal

yoga thing, but definitely in Hollywood where there's like all these hot guys who go to the yoga classes, like within like a minute, they're always like, oh, it's hot.

And they all take off their shirts.

It's like, I mean, it's great for those of us who like to look, but it's also hilarious because they just, they

just always want to show off.

It's,

it's fun.

Well, shit, I'd go to yoga if I knew it was going to be like that i'd be the one like with an oversized t-shirt in the back probably with a floaty around my waist like it's not even a pool i'll put sunscreen on i'll be like oh i'm just here to relax and you guys go ahead i'm the one with like a little puddle of sweat by my foot slipping and sliding and like For some reason, I'm always the one where like when the, like, I'm like, I'm not, I never go in the front row because I don't need people to see me in my bad form.

But then it's like the, the, we rotate.

Somehow I'm always like in the front, like when there's like a rotation, it's like, okay, do this pose.

And I'm like flopping over and losing my balance.

And I'm just, I'm always the worst one in the class.

But well, you know what?

It's called practice for a reason.

It takes practice.

So Angel, so they're gossiping and they're talking about the ladies and who they like and who they don't like.

And

Angel is like, oh, you know, the funny story about Ashley, she was my bottle girl.

She used to be my bottle girl.

Yeah.

And Kieran is like, yeah, I can see that.

She's got bottle girl energy

it's a funny thing to remember did i guess did she is the implication when she says my bottom bottle girl did she have events and she would hire ashley or was she running a restaurant i don't know she says it l2 but i don't know what that is so l2 must have been a club oh and we see pictures of ashley as a bottle girl and uh angel says that she knows wendy from college because she was roommates with her college big sister and so she doesn't know her very well, which is, I like that she's like, I don't really know her, but I know, you know, I don't know her well, but I know her.

And because, of course, Wendy's going to try and be shady about it later.

And this girl's like, Yeah, I don't, I don't care about bragging that I know Wendy.

Like, who the fuck cares?

I saw Wendy, and I like how she describes her because, yeah,

I definitely remember Wendy in school.

She was the one walking down the quad in suits.

Yeah,

I still see Wendy being the one wearing suits in college.

So Kierana now is going to launch her storyline for the season.

She says, you know, she's like, you know, we've had this year in general, and I feel like there's been lots of microaggressions.

So she's like, recently I was like in LA and like at the NAACB Awards and she kind of got like weird about saying she was actually going to even going, even though she knew I was going.

And she explains that like, um, she recently she was at an event and she's like and you could see me coming in because she was already seated so anyway I sit down and I'm waiting for her to turn around and like say like a little something and I got nothing so which is a different story than

later on the issue there's actually I guess there's a series of these there was the NAACP thing There's this where they were at a seated event and Wendy, I guess, didn't turn around to say hello.

And then there's the issue that comes up later on about sponsorship and speaking.

Well, this is weird because even this one, even how we're hearing it now, I was at an event.

You could see me coming in because she was already seated.

So anyway, I sit down.

Okay.

So you saw her seated and you didn't walk up to her and say hello?

That's weird.

I wouldn't sit down and wait for somebody to get up and come say hi to me.

You see how I am at a party.

If I see somebody I know, I walk right up to them and say hi and then I go sit down.

I'm going to go sit down and then like do a wait off with people.

That's so weird.

You were standing up.

It was up to you to go walk over and say hello.

I agree.

I also think that like in general, if you walk into a room and there's someone that you're hoping says hi to you, you have the ability to go and say hi to them instead.

Like you don't have to like make it into a, into a test.

Yeah.

But that being said, because you're just going to stress yourself out over it.

Yeah, but that being said, like Wendy is a bit of an asshole.

And I think that Wendy's like, okay, I spent all of last year trying to do like, have it, have like a nice edit and pretending like I like this girl.

And now I'm off camera.

I don't have to do it anymore.

I'm not going to say hi to her.

But at this point, honestly, I was actually on Kierana's side.

I was like, despite the fact that she should have gone and said hi to Wendy, I was like, I can see Wendy being cold and it like not feeling good.

So I was like, yeah, we've heard it before from other housewives, right, about Wendy.

So for that reason, I was like, okay, I could see Wendy being like that.

But the way she told the story, I was like, no, I'm going to, I'm going to go on Team Wendy for this one because she should have walked up to her and say hi.

But that's, you know, that's just right now.

It changes a million times.

I was about to the course of the episode, right?

I was about to say, like, this is my reaction right now.

Guys, this is going to be a real-time experience for us.

You're going to see exactly how our emotional reaction changes to the storyline.

This is also my favorite

thing about Real Housewives in particular is that this is what you worry about on these shows.

Like, oh my God, she walked into a party.

Who should have said hi first?

Like, I love those discussions.

I love it because it's actually so real.

Yeah.

I think it's so real.

And this is, again, I'll make it on the soapbox because who cares?

But

this is what I can't stand when people who don't watch these shows kind of like brush it off as like, ugh, isn't that just like women bickering?

I'm like, yes, but it's actually also people

talking about the shit that we all talk about.

Because like, we all have those moments where like, I just had one the other night.

I had one the other night where I went out to dinner with a friend and ran into another person and I felt like that other person was like like really kind of ignoring me.

And I had to, I had to engage with them for them to sort of engage with me.

It was still nice, but I was like, that person was like icing me out a little bit.

What, weren't they?

And then my friend was like, no, I don't think so.

But like.

That was something that was on my mind.

And that was something that we talked out a little bit.

And then like, it ultimately was, it was not a big deal, but like, it was something we talked out.

And so like, when you watch these shows, people are talking about the shit that we talk about.

And so I hate so much when people dismiss it.

Like, it's, it's not prestigious enough.

I'm sorry.

It's like, oh, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry that we're not watching a chef stare out into the sunset while he ponders his own artistic qualities.

I'm sorry that we're talking about shit that all of us talk about.

Sorry.

Sorry.

Soapbox.

Sorry, okay.

It's time for a commercial.

It's time for a Krappens commercial.

As the weather cools, I'm swapping in the pieces that actually get the job done, warm, durable, and built to last.

And Quince delivers every time with wardrobe staples that'll carry you through the season.

Quince has the fall staples you'll actually want to wear on repeat, like 100% Mongolian cashmere from just 60 bucks.

Classic fit denim and real leather and wool outerwear that looks sharp and holds up.

A lot of people have been asking me about my Quince Mongolian cashmere, and I have to say it's soft and it's delicious.

And to complete the look, I actually went and I got a watch band, a titanium watch band.

So that way, my little watch looks a lot more chic than when I wear the exercise band that came with it.

So, really, it's like a one-stop shop for me for looking chic for fall.

Oh, so fancy.

Yes, I got a cashmere hoodie from there, and I look pretty amazing in it.

Layer up this fall with pieces that feel good as they look.

So now let's go to the second bloom with Ashley.

The second bloom ball.

Okay.

Lots of fake flowers everywhere.

It's, you know, I guess nice.

And

they're talking, all the housewives are like, what the fuck is this thing?

And Wendy's like, second boom?

Is it annual?

And

I don't get it.

Did we miss the first one?

Yeah, Ashley is like, now that Karen's not there, Ashley's trying to pick up the torch of the nonsensical

party for herself thing.

So Giselle's like, yeah, I'm confused because let's just have a party.

Yeah, let's just say that we get it.

We're getting divorced.

We're exciting and we're happy.

We're excited and happy.

Let's just do that.

So, Ashley's saying, like, how there's like, there's so many people coming, and she just wants to wants everyone to see her sprawled out on the stairs.

Like, there's a lot of staircase stuff that happens on the Potomac.

How many parties have five stories there on the East Coast?

How many parties have people coming down the stairs?

But we get that coming down the staircase.

everywhere we go there.

When we, whenever we go visit there, and it's a great place, by the way, it's a great city, but it's all stairs.

Like, what the hell?

That whole city is built on stairs.

It's crazy.

Remember that time we went to an after party or something after one of our shows?

And they're like, oh, it's just right down the street.

It was not down the street.

It was like a mile away.

And then we got there and it was like three stories up.

Only

too much.

I was dying.

And it was summer.

It was crazy.

So, yeah, it's a lot of stairs there.

So it's typical.

Here we are at a Real Housewives of Potomac party with stairs.

So people are coming in and we meet Tia.

She comes with Giselle.

And

love this lady.

We met her at a Sotheby's event.

She's a very high-end realtor.

Okay.

And Tia was just selling a $6.4 million home.

And we bonded over raising twins.

She's a refined lady.

If you're going to cuss somebody up, you at least cuss them out with like subject-verb conjugation.

This is a woman who knows what dubious means.

Oh, I am prim and proper, darling.

If I were a spice girl, that'd be posh spice.

I definitely had some Rose Royces growing up.

And we see pictures.

She does come from wealth, which is always exciting for me.

She's like, I'm from London, but my family is part of the royal family in Nigeria.

And then we see her grandfather, who is in like a

wig, which I love.

And he's like, She's like, I am a princess.

Where's my tiara?

Where's my tiara?

Can I, can someone bring it?

No, I'm just, I'm just joking.

I'm just joking.

Not really.

Where's my tiara?

Is there anyone?

So they come in, and there's a random lady there dressed in a big flower dress and posing.

And just tell us, like, what are you doing, Bridgerton?

What is this?

She's like, It's a spring theme.

I'm not allowed to talk.

It's like, yes, yes, it is.

Then we see Cherise.

We all love some Charisse,

Sharice cameo.

Sharice always looks like she just came from a very humid environment.

Hello.

Like her hair is always like, her hair was nice, but it's always sort of like flopped down right on her face.

And she's like, oh, hello.

Love the accent.

Is that a pun?

Is that a pun?

And then Kierana and Angel come and everybody's saying hello and meeting each other.

And Giselle met

this chick already.

She met Angel already and they bonded because Giselle has a daughter named Angel.

Okay.

So now Stacy comes in and she's like, the Lord never ceases to amaze me about how he inspires me to be the bigger person.

I'm so impressed with the Lord that he made me go to the television event that I'm supposed to go to.

I love that she is somehow like

adding a layer of like divine intervention to why she's going to the second bloom party.

Oh, the Lord spoke to me and said, you better go.

You better go to that party and enjoy a free cocktail from a lady dressed like a flower.

Even after the way that Ashley treated me, I'm choosing to show up for Ashley because this is an opportunity for us to reset and take a step

forward.

Excuse me, moi.

So Stacey comes in.

She meets Tia, an angel,

and Kierana.

But she's like, ignores Kiarna, you know, because the Lord didn't tell her she had to actually be nice to, didn't have to reset with Kierana, just with Ashley.

So Kierana waves, like, hi, hi, hi.

She's like, oh, and she's like, oh, you didn't say hi to Kay.

She's like,

nice to meet you.

It's like very cold.

So they're going to have a nice little beef this season.

And Wendy sees Angel and goes and gives her a hug.

And she's like, oh, a familiar face.

So yay.

Do you remember Angel while you were at Temple?

And she's like,

no, I don't know her.

Familiar face, yes, but same circle?

No.

Wendy always cracks me up with this shit because that was her storyline the first season.

It was Karen being exactly this way to her and being like, oh, so we're on a board.

I don't know her.

We're not friends.

And her being like, we serve on boards together.

And now she's doing the same thing.

The same steward becomes the teacher.

Absolutely.

So then an announcement.

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the second Bloom Ball.

Without further ado, please direct your attention to witness the blossom of Duchess Darby.

Stacey's like, did he say Duchess?

So

Angel goes, yeah, bottle girl, the Duchess.

I love a good come-up story.

Good for her.

Good for her.

So Ashley.

arrives at the top of the staircase.

She's in her big gown, but there's like these big sparklers right at the bottom.

And she's like afraid to proceed any farther because she thinks she'll be caught on fire.

so she just sort of stalls out mid-staircase like come on down come on ashley she's like

so she gives a speech her first bloom was as a wife and a mother to her two amazing countersitting sons and as the seasons have changed and she transitions to the end of her marriage some people were questioning whether she was even getting a divorce which now she's doing herself this season.

But here she is, ready to embrace her second bloom.

So thank you for for coming tonight.

Thank you all.

Let's party.

So, Charisse goes up to one of the party performers who's doing like acrobatics.

And she's like, This is so neat.

I could get a job doing this.

What's the prerequisite?

She goes, Gymnastics.

She's like, That pulls me out.

What do you show footage of Sharice falling over on one of those hoverboard things?

Like, yeah, I don't think this is really meant for you, Sharice.

Question: I have a question about blooms.

So, her first Ashley's first bloom is her children, basically, and her marriage.

And now this is her second bloom.

And her kids are still like really young.

I don't know why.

I feel like there needs to be more space between your blooms.

Otherwise, it feels like this is still part of the first bloom a little bit.

You know, like I get it.

It's like a new life.

You're divorced, new chapter.

But I feel like...

If she said new chapter, I'd be okay because chapters come one after another.

But I feel like when a flower blooms,

then it dies, and then it goes through a winter, and it's like a dark winter, and then it blooms again.

And I feel like she's sort of gone from like the flower died and like bloomed the very next day, right?

I feel like I

divorce was three years, that was a long time, but I feel like she was still blooming then.

She never seemed like

it was never like, oh, Ashley went through a hard time.

Like, I feel like Karen Huger could have a second bloom.

She went to jail.

I don't know.

I feel like thematically, like she was dealing with that divorce, but I felt like, I don't know, I felt like she didn't hit her winter, right?

Listen, she got rid of Gollum and now she's rich.

I say throw a party.

Call it whatever the fuck you want to.

She's like, wasting the money that I got out of Michael.

Just call it that.

You know, people would have been like, hell yeah.

I guess, I guess, I mean, divorce is, is the shitstorm.

So listen, I support the party.

I just was like, I didn't like the naming of it.

i i would have liked it to be a new chapter party instead of a uh second bloom that's all just a i just wish flowers weren't such pussies you know like just i know be a flower like why do i have to sit around and wait for you all year it's ridiculous yeah why do you have to end why don't you know how much water you're taking just sitting there doing nothing like the least you could do that's why i like a cactus like that big penis one behind me yeah

it just you know the thing is like a flower is it's like feed me don't feed me what the fuck do i care i'm gonna stay like this forever The thing is with the flower, I've got this one flower that I have up in my little herb garden area.

And it like, it blooms at different parts of the year, and then it goes away for like a few months, and then it comes back.

And I feel like every time it comes back, we have to like be like, oh my God, the flower's back.

Look at it.

The flower came back.

But it's also kind of like, I feel like I'm being manipulated.

It's like, you know, you could be there the whole time.

So why don't you just be there the whole time?

That's what I'm saying.

Like, stop wasting my time.

Why do I have to sit around and wait for you?

It's like you, it's like when you're going out with a friend and they make you sit there and wait for them to get ready for an hour, and then they come down and they're wearing the same thing they wore last week and the same hair and then you have to praise them and the same makeup.

And you're like, You didn't even make any effort to do anything new.

Like, did you just pick that up off the bedroom floor?

You came down the stairs the same fucking person I went out with last week,

and then you have to praise them because they're having their bloom of an outfit.

It's like they're you know what?

If you just

fucking flowers, the Timu bloom.

Okay, so

Wendy is wearing a big over-the-top, you know, kind of wedding dress to this thing.

And Giselle's like, oh, you're wearing a blue version of my pink dress.

I inspired you.

She's like, not really.

This is archival.

Oh, you stole it from me.

Archival.

So Kierna comes over and she's like, well,

Wendy's.

They're bantering a little bit about the dress.

They're bantering.

Kirna sits down while they're bantering.

She's bantering.

Yeah, they're just still talking about the dress.

And Kirna's like, well, that's being a little rude because I'm sitting here too.

And she's like,

I wasn't being wooed.

Like, Giselle and I were having a conversation.

I'm not trying to be rude to you.

She says, well, it was rude.

Just to act like I'm not sitting here.

Like, I hate that I'm interjecting.

What are you doing?

Kierna was called boring and now she's going to come in and she's going to just try and start stupid shit over nothing.

And I'm actually here for it.

I love effort.

Yeah.

I actually do love the effort.

I really do.

And

also, well, because unlike Amia, it feels like she's starting a fight.

Like, like it feels like last year she kept stuff in and this year she's like, you know what?

I feel this way.

I'm going to, I'm going to voice it.

And I like that because I feel like it's like a little bit more authentic.

That being said, when she sat down, I did rewind it two or three times and someone went, hi.

Like when she sat down, they literally said hi to her.

And

so

ridiculous.

But I'm like, I'm like, at the same time, like Wendy does, as you said, she has a history of kind of icing people out and being kind of an asshole.

So I was still kind of like you know i'm a little bit on kierana's side for this okay even though it's like a little ridiculous that she's being like you're being rude to me i'm like well you did just sit down and interrupt their conversation they're allowed to finish their thoughts whatever so

like i'm usually ready to not be on wendy's side but this whole episode i was like

i'm I'm swinging Wendy on this one.

Yeah.

Because even she seems to be trying.

Yeah, she seems to be trying so hard to start a fight.

And I love that Wendy's just looking at her like she knows exactly what she's doing.

And she's like, oh, God.

So now I have to fight with this one.

Oh, geez.

Like, she's not even into it at all.

She's just like, oh, God, I'm bored even looking at you.

I have to have a conversation with you.

Oh, God.

It's also like, oh, Kierana, be careful.

Tread carefully because Wendy is.

There are a few people, I think, on Bravo who are as like really good with their words as Wendy.

Like Wendy like destroys people, I think, all the time.

So Kieran is like, well, I've been wanting to talk to you because I felt extremely taken aback by you.

I felt like we have this, you have this thing we do in your friendship that's phony.

And like the energy that you and I have when we talk on the phone is not the energy that you'll meet me with on the outside.

It's like completely different.

Like, you know, remember when I called you, I chat with you and I said, hey, Wendy, are you going to the event?

And you said, yeah, I'll be there.

And I said, okay, I'm going.

I'm going to be sponsoring.

And we see an image that shows that there's going to be like a gift bag and Kierana's products will be in the gift bag.

And so I guess she was excited about this.

So she was telling.

Wendy this.

And she's like, you know, and then you were like, great, I'll see you there.

But then I get there and you're a speaker.

And I was like, in my mind, I was like, I was like being like a little cheerleader to her.

And then like slowly, I was like,

my pom-poms started to like slowly fall down by my side.

Like,

wait, is this what you're meant?

Wait, what?

What?

Yeah, Wendy says so.

What's wrong with that?

Well, but if I'm sponsoring and you're a speaker, then that, why wouldn't you share that?

Well, maybe because you were basically kind of paying to be there in a way right you're showing up with products to give people and sponsoring the event and she didn't want to upstage you by being like oh you're sponsoring well i'm speaking there maybe

or maybe that's giving her too much credit but i don't know maybe she assumed you knew she would be a speaker i don't know yeah maybe she assumed you read the program of the event that you were sponsoring Yeah, and she's like, well, I was hyping you, though.

I said, you know, I didn't just say, I'll see you there.

I said, yes, come on, sponsor.

Like, I was hyping you.

And she she says i don't think it was that moment to say oh by the way i'm speaking but that's just me so i thought she was trying to not make you nice

she was trying she was actually wendy was being a really big person because she was saying she wasn't like like literally

Kiera, yes, Kierna was excited about being a sponsor and Wendy did not want to one-up her.

I actually think that was an incredibly gracious thing that Wendy did.

And so now hearing this side, I'm already like cringing because it's like, oh, Kierna, I was, I was rooting for you, but now I'm realizing, no, you kind of got this one wrong.

So she says, okay,

but then, you know, okay, well, here's where I think it looks different.

So at the event, no, hey, girl, no hi.

And she goes, I was on the stage.

I was like, what?

What would you want me to do?

Like, as I'm speaking, stop what I'm doing and wave at you.

And she goes, well, if I see my friend in the crowd, I'm going to wave to her.

I'm going to do a friendly nod to her or something.

And she's like,

I was speaking.

At this point, I was like, okay.

No, sorry, Kierana.

You lost.

No, I'm Team Wendy now.

It was like to me.

I was cracking up.

I was like, getting the full story.

I was dying.

I was like, you set me up to be anti-Wendy.

And it turns out you're the idiot in this situation.

So Wendy's like, okay, so this girl's mad, but wouldn't.

Shouldn't I be mad that she's not celebrating my thing and saying, congratulations?

Like, that's weird.

So she goes, okay, well, prime example was back at the NAACP awards.

We go to the red carpet and the first thing you say to me is, oh, hey, did you do your own makeup?

You did that.

And Wendy just starts laughing and she's like, I'm confused.

Okay, but

maybe she just said like, oh my God, did you do your own makeup?

Like, maybe she meant like, it looks nice.

Who did it?

It could go both ways.

That one could go both ways.

We need to hear how it was said because it could be said.

I was thinking the same thing.

It could have been actually like, oh, my God, this looks great.

Did you do that yourself?

That looks great.

But it also could have been a dig.

And I don't know which way it, I don't know which way it was.

But now based on the larger context of Kierna being super sensitive, that Wendy did not stop her speech on stage to like acknowledge Kieran walking in the room.

I'm going to assume that Wendy said it nicely, but Kierna was feeling self-conscious about the fact that she did her own makeup that she only like she.

she she sensed negativity in it yeah so she's like that was shady i mean who says that to their friend?

And then they show a picture, makeup in question.

It's like, don't, don't, don't, on Kierna's face, which is, by the way, perfectly fine makeup.

But I love that the editors were like, oh, look at her hideous makeup.

So Kierna's like, do you understand where I'm coming from?

And she's like, no, because you're reading into things.

But if that's how you receive it, then I can accept it.

And she's like, I'm just confused.

She doesn't know how to be a genuine friend.

I mean, I just need clarity.

And you're just acting like, I mean, what the hell?

So then we cut to Giselle and she's talking to Angel about Ashley,

about how sweet she is.

And Ashley goes, and Giselle goes, oh, yeah, until she's not.

So then Ashley is like, well, just don't lie to me, okay?

Because, you know, your breath can stink, which, you know, some people.

And Giselle goes, it happens.

It happens.

They cut to

Suze moi.

And Angel's like, well, that's a little passive aggressive.

And Stacey's like, are you saying my breath stinks?

She's like, well, no, I didn't say you.

And she's like, well, I'm asking you, does it stink?

And then she breathes into Ashley's face.

I forgot about that.

And Ashley's like, stop, stop.

I just got rid of Gollum.

Don't bring it back in my nose.

There's a lot of bacteria in there.

That's a lot of bacteria.

And she's like, bacteria.

And Giselle says, I think it's internal.

I think her breath is coming from her lower stomach.

And here's why I don't think that they're just, I don't think what, that they're like coming up with a story.

I think, because they're like kind of laughing as they're saying it.

It's like you can see they're like,

you know, there's like a difference between being like shady in your interview versus like laughing because you, you know, you're being so bad by admitting this truth, but like you're going to say it anyway.

And like they're all laughing.

She's like,

what she said is coming from the lower stomach.

And Angel's like, Linda goes, well, I don't know what was going on, but her mouth definitely greeted me before she greeted me.

And then Stacy is saying,

like, you know what?

You know, I want to have a moment alone with you, Ashley, because I feel like when you two are together, it's like a tag team back again.

I'm like, listen, Stacey, you had your moment alone with Ashley before and you stormed out.

Yeah, and Giselle's like, that's a lie.

Don't start that bullshit, Stacey.

Because she's like, I'm going to talk to you so you guys can't tag team me.

She's like, that is a liar.

That is a liar.

And just I was like, we're trying to get to know her better,

but her breath does stink.

And they goes, yeah, that was a little tart.

So they're cackling and high-vibrating each other.

So Stacey's like, well, I hope you can appreciate me showing up, even though you accused me of things that I know are not true.

I still came here tonight for you.

Jesus told me to.

Okay, well, something smells fishy.

And note that I'm not making a dig about your breath when I say that.

And like, I still move past that so like why are you hiding anything?

Well, my question is why do you have to be messy?

Well you hide behind the word friend and you have been lying to me since day one.

Well you ask me and you talk to me then.

Well I don't feel like I can come to you.

You've been shady to me since day one Ashley

Well, I don't feel like we can come to you and like authentically with with you because you lie.

Oh geez.

So then we go back to Wendy and Kay and wendy's like i asked you if you did your own makeup and i said to them

and but then they hear the yelling and she goes oh my god what's happening out there

and ash's like you can get out of here with your size 11 shoes gallop away okay

she starts galloping therese's like we're missing all the fun ashley loves coming for people's feet yeah So then Corey is there.

That's, um, was his name?

Corey was at AJ?

I forget, but like, it was, uh, it's, uh, what's her face's

What's Her Friend's Face's friend?

Uh, Stacey's friend who we met last season, and he was great.

He had like one scene last season, and we loved him.

And so he comes in and he's like, Okay, you guys are too loud.

And then Tia's like, What is happening out here?

And Ashley's like, You have been, you've been lying.

I'm sick of it.

I've reached my limit.

So

Stacy's like, Well, messy, Ashley Darby, you're like a little imp

imp.

Why Why are you being so messy?

You're like a little imp

so good.

So Sharice is like, we're missing all the fun.

And so Corey's like, okay, what do you guys need to fix this?

How are we going to fix this?

Do you want to see the divorce papers?

Do you need to see the document?

And he's like, if she does that today, can we all have a good time together?

There's a lovely woman over there doing back bends.

Well, I don't handle divorce like you do, Ashley.

Ashley's like, well,

it doesn't work that way.

You're in a full-grown woman.

You are a full-grown woman who came into this group and misrepresented yourself.

You get your finger out of my face.

You are the devil.

The devil.

So funny.

Really hilarious.

Really great start to Potomac.

Love to see you.

Love it.

Love to have you back.

Laughed my ass off.
