If Saturday’s Floyd Mayweather-Manny Pacquiao fight was the Fight of the Century, what transpired in the ATL last night was a solid encore.
NeNe Leakes and Kenya Moore traded some long-awaited barbs early and often on The Real Housewives of Atlanta Season 7 Episode 24.
What led to the heated exchange? Who emerged victorious? Did the show’s ramped up security have to get involved? Let’s recap the action …
At issue was Kenya Moore flirting. With pretty much everyone.
Her justification? "Everybody flirts," said Moore, beefing with Phaedra Parks, who accused her of flirting with her estranged husband, Apollo Nida.
Besides, she added in her defense, "NeNe was flirting with Peter."
"Girl, I have never flirted with Peter. Don’t go there!" Leakes fired back, adamantly denying that she ever flirted with Cynthia Bailey’s husband.
"If you don’t want to own it, that’s fine," Moore replied to her rival.
"I have never flirted with Peter. Don’t go there!" Leakes said, fuming. "Hold on! You not gonna disrespect me and my husband. This ain’t Phaedra."
"I just did," said Moore, unwilling to back down whatsoever.
"You ain’t gonna disrespect me and my marriage!" NeNe yelled as Gregg Leakes tried to ask Andy Cohen to ask Peter Thomas about it directly.
"I’m glad you think you have a prize," Moore told Gregg over NeNe’s yelling, and it looks like next week, we’ll see what Peter has to say about it.
Incredibly, that wasn’t nearly all in terms of last night’s drama.
Kenya and NeNe also clashed over their charity bet, in which the former made a generous donation to the Detroit Public Schools Foundation.
Leakes, Moore says, bailed on a promise to do the same.
“I don’t mind donating…but I’m not going to make a mockery out of charity,” NeNe says, dissing Kenya’s show-off social media posts about donations.
Cynthia Bailey also went after Phaedra Parks’ affair with Chocolate. As in the alleged African prince Phaedra allegedly got down and dirty with.
Phaedra’s pissed that Cynthia spread the allegations – which came from Apollo – but Bailey says Parks “could’ve easily squashed” the rumors.
Parks denied Bailey’s previous apology to her was genuine. At all.
“Why did you make it a part of your storyline?” Phaedra asks her.
“Stop with the storyline stuff. Apollo is your storyline, and now he’s gone,” Cynthia snaps back, proceeding to tell the attorney to “win a case.” Ooh.
Meanwhile, if you watch The Real Housewives of Atlanta online, you know Kenya and Phaedra vowed to move on from their own epic feud.
Well, it looks like that peace treaty unraveled very, very fast.
“I’ve been called an alcoholic, bipolar, from having a fake booty, a fake Bentley,” Kenya says, calling Parks the biggest whore and liar around.
“She put out all of those rumors, single handedly … I am the only one who can speak directly to what she’s capable of, and that is lying.”
Kenya also says Parks milks the fact that Apollo Nida is in prison for the sake of the cameras, when in reality she’s holding up just fine.
Says Moore of Phaedra’s supposed public relations campaign:
“You’re ‘so distraught, and so down and out’ and you have the time to get your boobs done in the middle of your husband going away to prison."
“It’s a good job!" Moore says. "You should thank your doctor."
"But don’t sit here and lie, yet again, in front of people.”
Day. Umm.
