NeNe is in her trailer on set and is really excited. She was always in a guest trailer before but now she’s official. It is a big deal to be on a sitcom but it’s not a big enough deal to make it interesting on a reality TV show. I really wish they’d done a crossover with Beverly Hills. What I wouldn’t pay to see NeNe chopping it up with Taylor and Brandi. That, my friends, would be TV gold. Incidentally, that’s the name of NeNe’s hair color.
Porsha gets breakfast in bed from Kordell. She wished he would’ve put yams on the plate since she’s still on her mission to replace Chrissy Snow as the biggest moron on TV. She then shoves Kordell’s head between her legs whilst chanting that she wants twins. I think they’ve been doing it wrong.
Kandi rents a helicopter and has a surprise party planned for Todd’s 39th birthday. Phaedra is helping to decorate and as they look at Todd’s pictures, Porsha says that she wants to see Kandi’s childhood pictures. Phaedra tells her that it’s Todd’s birthday, not Kandi’s, hence the absence of her pictures. The more you know…Todd’s mom makes a surprise appearance at the party and nearly brings him to tears. It’s sweet. You know that can’t last for long. Kenya starts making the rounds to talk about the failed DVD venture. She corners Apollo and he agrees that she deserves something but he’s stuck between her, his wife and both of their asses. Phaedra says that she works for free all the time. Oh really? I seem to recall a time in which Sheree had to pay for her services; Phaedra even sent someone to the hair salon to pick up the check! A drug dealer even paid for her services, in cash! When Kenya tries to bring Todd into it, Kandi shuts it down immediately. Phaedra could learn a thing or two from her.
The last stop on the Phaedra shenanigans train is a stop at Cynthia’s. She doesn’t undersatnd why the Bailey Agency is actually receiving phone calls and visitors. It turns out that Phaedra has tweeted a casting for DVD models without finalizing or more importantly, paying Cynthia.
“I’m running a modeling agency school of fashion?! I’ve been teaching them quantum physics!”
Kenya shows up with her producer/purse carrier Brandon and fills Cynthia in on her issues with Phaedra. Cynthia and Kenya actually agree that they need to be paid for their services as they’d pay her for her attorney skills. Kenya even put a casting fee in her budget! One dollar per ass crack! By the way, I’ve been to one of Phaedra’s trials. She claps her booty cheeks together in lieu of the judge having to bang the gavel. It’s worth the $5,000. Phaedra shows up to the agency, Cynthia has cancelled the casting and Kenya doesn’t like the way things are going. Phaedra still doesn’t want to give up any back end, Cynthia is amazed that this is all the result of a donkey booty video and Kenya pulls out of the project.

I didn’t get that Phaedra didn’t want to give Kenya anything. I think that she was negotiating. She low balled her and then they could have found a meeting point. Also if Kenya wanted 100K and Todd said you can do it for 25K then I would have been suspicious of Kenya’s numbers also.
I do love how Kandi shut Kenya DOWN when she was trying to talk about the deal. She was NOT going to ruin her man’s night with foolish nonsense.
I did not think it was a negoitation. “I am giving you nothing” is not usually the starting point in any negoitation I have been involved in. I think Kenya is crazy, but in this I am on her side.
It’s funny – when we all come from different life experiences. I just assumed that Phaedra was “I’ll give you nothing” regarding the 10% on the back side that Kenya wanted. I didn’t even think about the fact that Phaedra didn’t want to pay her anything.
L Boogie THANK YEWWWWWWWWWW for including the WWHL pic. My stars! I sang, I danced I laughed over that performance and her hair (WTH?)
Just awesome!
Anyway, can Kenya get any more obnoxious? I think her family was making a point that Kenya was acting “out of her character” by cooking and appearing to be a homebody. You know that woman only dines out, please!
Here’s my thing on the negotiations. Phaedra doesn’t like Kenya hitting on Apollo so she LOW BALLED Kenya as payback. Kenya is easy to get fired up and Phaedra being an atty know this and used it to her advantage. She liked that Kenya did the upfront work and secured a distribution deal but, I can’t believe that Phaedra, as concerned with money as she is (for all the reason LB listed in the cap) didn’t do a little research and found out that 100k is outrageous for a first time fitness video.
100k with whatever cut they agreed on could have suited Phaedra just fine except when cross checking with Todd who is also in the industry and I would say more credible, could do it for 25k. This isn’t a DreamWorks production.
Phaedra maybe redickulous but she does not suffer fools.
Good for Kandi too, I wouldn’t have even invited Kenya but I don’t like her so…
@Mimo that’s where I was with it…Phaedra is a businesswoman and knows she has to pay the girl, but what she is not going to do is pay 100K for something that costs 25K and then on top of that give you money on the back end.
@gypsy, Kenya wouldn’t be invited to anything for the simple fact that she hits on people’s husbands that are in my circle.
Remember, Phaedra represents folks in the entertainment industry. The whole story line is phony, put out there for our amusement. Phaedra didn’t need anything from Kenya.
Did anyone find it weird that Cynthia just canceled the casting call? And how did she cancel it so quickly where all of the people that were going to show up to audition knew not to come, but she didn’t have time to tell Kenya or Phaedra?? AND if she didn’t know the specifics of what she was supposed to be casting for (which she cited as her reason) why didn’t she ask Phaedra or Kenya or somebody instead of waiting until the last day and canceling last minute? I wouldn’t do business with any of these crazy women!
Funny, I always thought it was just some informal agreement that they would potentially work together. If Phaedra went to her lawyer to draw up papers, then I’m sure she also had some sort of background check done on Kenya to verify her credentials. If Kenya’s credentials are straight to DVD, as they are alleged to be, why would Phaedra settle without weighing options? I think Kenya got her hopes up because we all know she needs the money and was pissed when Phaedra backed out, even though there was no contract.
As far as WWHL, Kenya is just hysterical and, coupled with MJ, it was off the hook. I think nothing beats those background dancers and MJ/Andy twirling drunkenly and offbeat as the song was going on. I have to be honest and admit I downloaded it, but I’ve bought Kim’s singles, Kandi’s CD, Miss Lawrence’s single, but I feel like Kenya really could use my $0.99.
LOL @Derek…Kenya could!
@Classy, that’s what I’m saying…girl has HOMEWRECKER written all over her. And she reeks of desperation. No thank yewwwwwwww!
LBoogie, I loves ya! Very funny recap. And thank you for adding Kenya’s pic from WWHL (or as I like to call it What The Fuck Are You Wearing and Why Aren’t You in Therapy Now?” )
Nene – yes, you have arrived… do something please, other than have Greg slooooowly get things done for you.
Porsha – is there any footage of someone else opening doors for this child? I don’t think she can actually do it on her own.
Kandi – Good for her to nix that Crisco Kenya shit at Todd’s party.
Cynthia – As much as I am loathe to give StupidModel (work!) credit, I do get her annoyance about her business being tweeted as a casting center without her knowledge or without some compensation. That was not a cool move by Phaedra.
Phaedra v. Kenya: I was torn too. However, Kenya’s claims about her expertise and success seem to be only self references and given what this is – a booty exercise video with some big butts and Apollo (shirtless, please) why would this be 100,000? And then money on the back end? That just seems wrong. But having the lawyer hiding in vents while this is going on is strange.
Of course, all this went out of the window when “gone with wind” twirler Kenya became a songstress on What The Fuck Live. I got some lyrics for her to add: “You say that you will need to throw sand on me to hold on? / I say I’m fabulous. / You say that I am referencing a movie about a time when I would be in the fields picking cotton?/ I say, okay, maybe, but if there was a remake, it would star me/ ’cause I’m fabulous!”
cray, cray!!
@LAC, WTF Live is such an apt name! Love it. WTF Live is only good when you like his guests, and sucks when you don’t (which is often the case with me). But MJ/Kenya and their middle aged womanhood bond had me hooked from Minute 1.
I have to agree about Cynthia. She seems to be more on the ball this season and not so passive, which is a good look for her. I wonder if any of the Atlanta Bad Girls will make a trip to the Bailey Agency so we can get some reality crossover gold.
@classy, jj, mimo I thought this was a weird negotiation. Asking for ten and being told “nothing” was extreme. Of course, we get the edited version so maybe there was more detail. 100k was clearly OD. I Googled the cost of producing a workout dvd and everything I saw was between 16k and 20k. I still think Phaedra should have named a price instead of saying money was no object. Kenya probably ordered a fleet of actual donkeys!
@gypsy, my pleasure, I think. I don’t always watch WWHL, but I happened to switch to it just in the nick of time.
@gapeach, Yup. Phaedra had to have a reason to hang with Kenya. Kenya thought it was really gonna happen but Phaedra knew it was just another storyline.
@Pari, I think Phaedra tweeted the casting that morning so it was truly last minute. I could be wrong. Cancelling probably consisted of her assistant furiously answering all 12 phone calls and putting a post it on the door.
@Derek, it was informal but you know Kenya’s crazy and so does Phaedra. Once the train takes off, there’s no stopping it. I was shocked (!) that Kenya entered the HW songwriter’s guild. Do they have a talent portion for Miss USA? I wonder if it was twirls and husband poaching.
@LAC, LOL at throw sand on me to hold on! That’s seriously messed up…
Only took me 27 minutes to type this out on my phone, ha! Hope it’s legible.
Derek, honey, please let it be the klassy one with the stripper heels, yelling “Let’s get it cracka-lackin’ in the ATL!” She is the face of La Bailey Agency! Even better, a cross casting with “Big Rich Atlanta” I watched the half hour preview and yowsa – that is a train wreck tranny hot mess. Poor Atlanta…
L Boogie – I know, but as Job Bluth says… “C’mon!”
Dang…I didn’t even realize that we had RHOA, Big Rich Atlanta, and BGC Atlanta on all at the same damn time….
Husband poaching and it looks like Thunder poaching on next weeks epi when CK starts her own booty video.
@thunder poaching…are you trying to make that a thing Gypsy?!?!?!
It’s not already?
Thunder poaching!
Yayayayayay! That made my day!
Cock!
Happiness & Joy!
I’m offended you guys allowed me to watch Kenya’s song…you guys are NOT my friend
