In Housewives world, one day you’re friends, the next day you’re… not. In the latest Real Housewives of Atlanta, extra Marlo Hampton seems to feel that her gay slur wasn’t that offensive and she is accusing former bestie NeNe Leakes of being two-faced for thinking otherwise. Le sigh.
NeNe has spoken out defending Marlo numerous times and claims the two are cool, but NeNe wasn’t so impressed with Marlo’s use of the F-word. And being NeNe, she made sure to let everyone know. In Marlo’s first-ever Bravo Blog (oh no – does this mean she might be *gasp* a full-time Housewife next year?) she slams NeNe and accuses her of shooting her mouth off after last years Tour Bus Incident with Sweetie Hughes! Oh, lawd!
“Lady Leakes,” Marlo addresses her, “you protest much about accusations of racism and are quite vocal about my bad choice of words, but I have seen you in action and you forget yourself. You already know the world is not full of “sweeties!” Never forget #thetourbusmassacre…”
Well, that’s very interesting and I simply cannot wait for NeNe to respond. You know it’s coming! This should be a very exciting reunion if the Talls start attacking each other!
Moving on, as Phaedra Parks is defending her decision to have twelve cakes at son Ayden‘s first birthday party – one for each month he’s been alive. What’s she going to do for his sixteenth birthday?
“Most people have their favorite occasion or holiday; for me, it’s birthdays because they are a personal holiday celebrating one’s entrance into life,” Phaedra explains in her Bravo blog. “I wanted our son’s first birthday to be a memorable occasion which would set the tone for each birthday to come.”
“I wanted the party to be filled with all of Ayden’s favorites,” she explains, “since Ayden has brought us 12 months of pure joy, I wanted a custom cake to commemorate each month.”
Phaedra also explains that the location was selected because the water park was named after her great-aunt, whom she had a very close relationship to growing up. Awww… that’s very sweet. Unfortunately, her aunt passed away from cancer before Ayden was born.
“The only location I considered was the water park conceptualized by and named in memory of my dear aunt, Frances Meadows,” Phaedra writes. “My aunt Frances was the first woman, and first person of color, elected to city government in Gainesville, Georgia. Her political platform was family based. The Frances Meadows Aquatic Center is a concept she fought for in order to facilitate positive family interaction.”
“Although Ayden will never have the opportunity to personally know her, I wanted to pay homage to her legacy by having his first birthday party in a place erected and named for someone who dreamed big and stood up for what she believed in.”
WAS MARLO RIGHT TO REMIND NENE ABOUT HER OWN OUT OF CONTROL ACTIONS? DO YOU THINK MARLO WILL BE RETURNING NEXT YEAR? WHAT DO YOU THINK KIM IS HAVING: BOY OR GIRL? DOES PHAEDRA’S EXPLANATION ABOUT THE CAKES MAKE SENSE?
