Real Housewives of Atlanta: The Empress’ New Clothes

Real Housewives of Atlanta

By ChickBomb | Saturday, November 15, 2008 | 6:24 am | 34 Comments

Hello dolls and welcome back to the Real Housewives of Atlanta. This week, we focus on Sheree, which is not nearly as interesting as NeNe’s rants, Kimmie’s singing, DeShawn’s money laundering, or anything the adorable Hartwells do, but Sheree does come off kind of looking like a chump, so stay with me.

200811141855

You made the deposit, right? Kisses!

We start off with a nice trip to the lake. The ladies have attired themselves in their long, going-to-the-lake dresses, and we have Kimmie, Sheree, Kim’s stalker, Suck-Up Cori, and some other friends of Sheree. They’re headed out on Cori’s husband’s boat. How is Cori married? Doesn’t it interfere with her following Kim around duties?

Nobody’s actually ever driven a boat before, but Cori’s out to impress the real housewives, so they hop in. I find it a little ironic that Suck-Up is the only one of them who actually is a housewife, and I imagine this is what runs through her mind as she suggests these convenient plot set-ups. Sheree’s friend looks exactly like her. They all relax while Kimmie reliably slurps her wine and puffs on her cigarette. I think Kim drags a box of wine around with her like an oxygen tank. Cori chauffeurs the boat. Bitch knows her place.

Y’all hungry? Packed us some lunch. I’ll give massages after and braid your hair.

They break out some fruit and cheese plates, and Kim reminds everyone that she paid her chef so much money for the fruit and cheese, she can’t believe it. Me either. Who would pay good money to a chef to put together a fruit and cheese plate? But we know our Kimmie, it’s not classy til everyone knows how much you spent on it. They stop off an a deserted island, where they pretend to be exotic. Kim found guacamole exotic, clearly it doesn’t take much.

One of the ladies asks Kim what it’s like to have a mystery man. Kim replies that he thinks NeNe’s a mess, and he knows how close she and Sheree have become. Kimmie’s on message today! Then she drinks sandy wine, cause really, who are we kidding, and then informs us she has sand on her boob. Kimmie has a hard time making it through a conversation without a mention of her boobs and how much everything costs.

200811141837

Dang girl. You look like you’re getting ready to feed a littler of piglets.

They go to get back into the boat…and the engine won’t start. Sneaky Suck-Up Cori! She’s not wasting this day with two lead housewives. So what if they don’t want her on their show? She’ll just trap them on her deserted island! It’s always the frumpy ones you have to watch out for. But finally, Cori figures out that the reason the boat won’t start is because it’s in neutral. Way to impress the cool girls, Cori. Kim thanks the Lord for saving them. That’s so what NeNe would have said.

Next we check in with Lisa and her adorable husband, Ed Hartwell. Ed Hartwell is working out, and he most definitely gets an amen for that. Ed Hartwell’s been in the NFL for seven years, but he’s been “rehabbing” lately, and is now getting ready for try-outs. Lisa would love for him to retire, but he wants to play and she says she’s going to be on his side. Then she tells us that NFL players are treated like cattle. Cattle who fund your fancy pants lifestyle, little honey. But Lisa continues to observe the workout with her eagle eye, and she does not look happy.

200811141839

How many millions of dollars do you get a year, again?

Well, I love Ed Hartwell but the football part is boring, so let’s check in with Sheree and her fashion line! Of course Sheree has a fashion line. “People look up to me for fashion. It’s my God-given gift,” she explains to us. Thank you Sheree, it would be just rude of you to deprive the rest of the universe the opportunity to be just like you. Ever since she was a child she has wanted to be a designer, she tell us, as she meets with the sketch artist. Sheree has invested $100,000 of her very own money that she earned from getting divorced, and tells us it won’t be long before her chic homespun fashions are all over New York, Paris and Milan.

Well, the excitement of Sheree’s fake line that’s sure to have a huge spread in Vogue next month has me worn out, so let’s check in with NeNe! In a big hat! Is this the Big Hat Brunch? It is! It looks like fun, but the hats aren’t quite as happening as the hats from the Big Hat Brunch planning party at NeNe’s house. Nothing purple. I’m a bit disappointed. It actually looks like a successful brunch, there are a lot of ladies there.

200811141841

Anyone wanna donate to my teen girls fund? Still no one? K.

Of course, DeShawn, of the world-renowned DeShawn Snow Foundation Benefiting DeShawn Snow, has to make a big deal of herself and introduce NeNe at the brunch. NeNe takes her place at the podium, and tells the story of being an abused wife. It’s a big deal, cause she usually doesn’t tell people this story. Except when there’s a cable reality crew standing by to record it. NeNe’s hat is so big, I can’t see her face at all. Trust NeNe to bring the drama, even in the form of her hat.

She tells us that a lot of people have foundations, but hers is different because she can talk intimately about what hers is about. Lisa is impressed with the mission, and professional fund-raiser DeShawn tells us she’s proud. And probably burning with jealousy too. NeNe’s brunch was an actual success. They raised $19,200. I’m happy for NeNe, but I’m curious about the mission…awareness of domestic abuse? Just telling people about it? Why do you need twenty grand for that? I want to see some subsidized housing before I jump onboard with another foundation.

200811141842

Abusing women is bad. Thank you for coming. And please don’t try to look at my face.

And now for someone who would never waste her time pretending to help others with a foundation, and that’s Sheree. It’s the clothing line division of the Sheree, You’re Fabulous!â„¢ entourage. The line is called She by Sheree. It sounds like a line of maxi-pads from the 70′s. I can sort of picture the commercial. Anyway, Sheree reminds us that she was married to NFL player Bob Woodfield, and while she was supportive of Bob, he was not supportive of her. Well, it was Bob Woodfield’s money, you know. But now that the divorce is almost over, Sheree is ready to pursue her dreams! Bob Woodfield gave her the motivation, she tells us. Um yeah, that and his money, you ignorant ho.

And Sheree, cause she knows I’m right, keeps mentioning about a hundred times how she’s doing this on her own without Bob Woodfield (I’m sorry, much like Ed Hartwell, the name is just too good – what is it about these NFL players and the fabulous names?). Because Sheree totally knows what she’s doing when it comes to starting a fashion line, she’s hired a whole table-full of consultants. They’re planning a viewing. What’s the difference between a viewing and a fashion show? Well, a fashion show has actual clothes, but we’ll get to that later.

200811141843

What about this picture makes you think you don’t get support?

Guess who’s at the fashion line meeting? It’s PR Tiffany, mastermind behind the leaving NeNe off the list of the talk of the town party incident! Sheree reminds PR Tiffany that the viewing must have politicians, athletes and socialites. And guess what else? Sheree officially instructs PR Tiffany that the viewing must be the talk of the town! Sheree’s not worried, because she’s got confidence in her team. Now she’s just got to get some “quality samples” whipped up in less than three weeks. Did Sheree learn her fashion show execution at one of the DeShawn Snow Foundation’s quarterly self-esteem chats? It’s the only possible way to explain such a deluded planning process.

Back to NeNe, she’s getting her DNA test done today. NeNe’s a little dull for me now, raising money, looking for her birth father, I just kind of like the drunk, singing, shit-talking NeNe a lot better. She has to pose for a picture to go with her DNA sample, and she totally works it for the camera. NeNe makes a bunch of nervous chit-chat with the technician, who really isn’t interested. NeNe doesn’t know what she’ll do if Curtis isn’t her Dad. I’ll tell you exactly what you do, honey, you spin-off! Real Housewives – The Search For NeNe’s Real Dad.

James Brown's Celebrity Hot Tub Party023

What? I can’t guess?

Over at DeShawn’s, NeNe’s coming for a visit. She asks for water in a wine glass. What’s this about? Does water taste classier from a wine glass? Or is it a stupid way of just asking for wine? They sit down, and DeShawn tells NeNe that she wants to invite everyone over for a sunset barbeque. NeNe’s okay with DeShawn and Lisa, but not so much about Sheree and Kimmie. “I’ll be cordial and nice, but I won’t pretend to like either one of those bitches,” she warns oxymoronically.

DeShawn gets on the phone to start inviting. First up is Lisa, who is predictably cheerful at the prospect of a sunset barbeque. With Lisa signed up, the next call is to Sheree. NeNe makes a crack about how Sheree is now pretending to be a fashion designer. And Sheree’s response to DeShawn is priceless, as usual. “It’s Shawnie,” DeShawn chirps when Sheree answers. Everyone’s besties with Shawnie! But Sheree has no idea. “Who?” she asks rudely. And she’s not any more excited to find out who exactly Shawnie is, or what the heck this sunset barbeque thing’s about.

The last phone call goes to Kimmie, who doesn’t even bother answering. DeShawn leaves a message. She’s excited for her barbeque, and I am too. If her diamond gala and birthday party are any indication, disaster is sure to strike!

200811141846

Tell Shawnie don’t do it, mommy. She’s embarrassing herself.

Sheree can’t be bothered with Shawnie-pie and her sunset barbeque, because she’s busy at a casting for her fashion line. The idea is to paint She by Sheree all over her models. Most of the models look like crap, but Sheree and her paid entourage are giggling and pointing. They get the dudes to take their shirts off. Then their pants. The VIP girls from Super Sweet Sixteen play it cooler than these grown women. For the most part, they act like unprofessional idiots, although I do enjoy when one of the entourage ladies compares one of the ugly models to a chicken wing.

And while Sheree takes a cold shower, Lisa and DeShawn are having a little shopping spree at what I’m now certain must be a paid sponsor of this show, Blue Genes, also the site of Kimmie’s daughter’s birthday party. Lisa’s got the cute Baby Ed Hartwell with her. She tells us there’s definitely a NBA/NFL wives club. And that the NBA wives are snootier, mainly because their husbands get guaranteed contracts, and the football players don’t. Very interesting news to me, but it’s probably the first thing these girls learn out of the womb.

DeShawn proudly recounts how she traded in Eric Snow’s bling and “got me some stuff”. Lisa tells us, in her usual, diplomatic way, that DeShawn is more extravagant than her. In other words, DeShawn’s a snooty bee-yotch because her husband’s guaranteed. They talk about having baby girls, they spend a bunch of money and then we get another shot of regional sponsor, Blue Genes.

200811141848

Those clothes are fug.

Well, enough filler. Time to head to Sheree’s the day before the viewing. Her “samples” have been dumped off on her front porch. Sheree’s gift from God, abandoned on the porch in cheap plastic bags. Sheree heads inside with her loot, and on cue, her new bestie Kimmie calls. She’s going to head over to see the “designs” because Big Poppa’s taking her away for the weekend. Kimmie’s got the best prostitute gig ever. And Sheree’s got a problem when she opens her plastic bags of fashion – the samples are a mess.

Sheree is pissed. Who’s to blame for this one? It’s the seamstress. And she’s not picking up her phone. So Sheree instead bitches to Kimmie, who’s probably high on the normal complement of wine and pills and tells Sheree to just explain to everyone that they weren’t up to her standards. But Sheree is furious. She’s worked so hard and other people aren’t delivering. Yeah, your crack team meeting around the kitchen table three weeks ago really made things look so solid. The need for a good guest list was confirmed, everyone told Sheree how fashionable and classy she was, what could have possibly gone wrong?

Sheree finally gets the seamstress on the phone and starts telling her off. But it’s kind of a boring rant. NeNe would have totally rocked it out, but Sheree just like, “You’re sorry? All you have to say is you’re sorry?” Dull city. Kim’s not impressed either. NeNe would have had everyone riled up. Kim just tells Sheree it will be okay, and then takes off for her weekend with Big Poppa.

200811141849

You’ll be fine. Gotta go! Don’t wanna be tardy for the party.

And then it’s time for the sunset barbeque at DeShawn’s. We head to the McCastle, to the backyard, and it’s huge but a bunch of bare trees. Kind of eerie. DeShawn reminds us that she and Lisa are the neutral parties. The two ladies sit down at the picnic table with the adorable Ed Hartwell, who’s totally onboard with the peace summit. “Let’s try to do it! We can be counselors!” he enthuses. NeNe prances in with her team, and sits down with the girls and Ed Hartwell. Lisa asks NeNe if she’s going to be nice…and NeNe says nothing. Thank heavens for NeNe! Who wants to watch a nice barbeque?

NeNe says something about Lord Jesus and some wine. And Kimmie and Sheree are late. Very late. Like, hours late. Clearly, they’re not coming to Shawnie’s house to play sunset barbeque. And it’s kind of funny, cause the other three thought they were having a showdown, and Sheree’s all oops, couldn’t make it, and Kimmie says she just doesn’t want to sit around with NeNe and eat chicken.

Of course NeNe has a field day with the no-shows. She’s got “tacky” flying everywhere, and then she says something about how you reap what you sow. I don’t really see how that applies here, but with NeNe, it’s kind of all in the delivery. Lisa says that she hates that the other girls aren’t there. I don’t think Lisa likes DeShawn and NeNe that much. NeNe, knowing she’s now officially out in the cold with DeShawn, talks about how glad she is that DeShawn’s a friend. DeShawn also goes on a small “tacky” rant, and NeNe reminds her that this is what she’s dealing with.

200811141851

I don’t care! I’m just happy to be here with you DeShoon. DaSheer? What’s your name?

Sunset barbeque snub covered, it’s time for Sheree’s fashion show. Viewing. Whatever. It’s all falling apart. She’s wearing a dress that is described to us only as “medium grape”, and then she gets a call from a friend telling her that word on the street is someone else may be wearing that very same dress! I would have thought She by Sheree would just be wearing her own design, but I also would have thought that a fashion viewing would include some clothes.

One of the paid entourage assures Sheree that no one else would be wearing the medium grape dress, because it cost $1,000 and “they ain’t got money like you!” This appeases Sheree momentarily, but then she’s bitching about how she’s the assistant, and she’s the PR girl, and how she always gets sucked into working with mediocre people. Nothing to do with the leader, sweetie. Nothing at all.

So Sheree has made the executive decision not to show her messed up dresses. She says it looks like a two year old sewed them. Instead, she is just going to have a fabulous party to celebrate, who else, Sheree! I love Atlanta! No dresses? Well, no reason not to celebrate your eponymous fashion line! Need some extra cash? Hey, start a foundation and ask for a million!

200811141852

No, it’s a party stupid.

Although, I do give Sheree props for rolling with it and still throwing her party. It does look pretty cool in there. Sheree looks manly as usual, and shrieks like a teenager when she sees her friends. Lisa looks adorable, she was there to see the fashion, but she’s wondering where are the models? Sheree diverts her with sketches. Very covert. Sheree spins it by telling us she just said it was a viewing, she never said what they were viewing. And that she’s not gonna let people see her sweat. She does play it pretty damn cool.

And then, Sheree’s ex, Bob Woodfield shows up. This causes a big stir in the party! Everyone thought they hated each other. Well, perhaps Bob Woodfield wanted his moment to shine. You don’t really get to know those guys under their helmets. Or perhaps he got wind of Sheree running all over town bragging about how she did it on her own, cause he makes some bitchy comment about how maybe now, she’ll actually do something. And then he repeats it. Sheree reminds us that she did this on her own, without Bob Woodfield’s connections. First of all, please. And second of all, what exactly did you do? Hold a fashion show with no clothes? Impressive.

But sure enough, the talk of the town! NeNe and Dwight Eubanks, Celebrity Hairstylist, are having pedicures the next day, and Dwight informs NeNe that he heard about a fashion show with no fashions! “Dreadful!” he cries. Dreadful. I like it. I’m picking it up. NeNe tries to play it cool. Oh well, I wasn’t invited, she tells Dwight airily. But it is NeNe, after all, so it’s not long before she’s back to, “Karma is a bitch.” Dwight’s dressed like Dick Van Dyke in Mary Poppins, and I don’t know what he does to his hair, but it really scares me.

200811141853

Ten bucks she can’t find that bracelet tomorrow.

While NeNe and Dwight are drinking martinis and getting pedicures, Lisa’s in her pool going for a swim. And then she gets a phone call from Ed Hartwell, who informs her that he has been picked up by the Oakland Raiders. And well, well, well, perfect wifey is not happy! Ed Hartwell’s thrilled, and Lisa’s just poking holes. It’s on the west coast. That’s far. Our life is gonna change. What’s in Oakland? Hey sweetie, what happened to “got to support his dream”?

And finally, it’s the moment of truth with NeNe and the search for her birth Dad. Gregg looks serious and exhausted, like always. NeNe’s a lot to take. NeNe’s boys are there too. They all put their hands on the DNA letter. Her adorable son Bryson tells NeNe, “You’re still the same, nothing’s gonna change.” How could you not love NeNe just for raising him?

“It’s a lot to read,” says NeNe, nervously skimming the letter. Uh-oh, we’ve seen her with the math homework. This could be a problem. But even she can’t miss the “Probability of Paternity 0%” at the bottom of the letter. Oh my! Curtis is not NeNe’s father! This is such a soap opera! Fabulous! I’m telling you, spin-off time – The Real Housewives – The Search For NeNe’s Dad.

200811141854

I’m exhausted.

So, next week it’s all over. Too soon, I say. There’s a NeNe/Kimmie/Sheree showdown, and I’m depending on my girls to bring us a real peachy brawl…

    You’re right, Dwight Eubanks’ hair is downright terrifying. Unfortunately, my Tivo went a little crazy on a shot of him and froze. So, instead of Lisa’s phone call, I got five minutes stuck on Dwight Eubanks making his “that’s dreadful” face.

    Who would schedule a big event to debut your fashion line and then wait to see the samples until right before the event? Wouldn’t you ask to see things piece by piece? I thought the yellow piece looked like a terry wrap you put on after stepping out of the shower. Didn’t she communicate with the seamstress while she was sewing them? Doesn’t the seamstress live in Atlanta?

    I think Sheree and Kim showed very poor manners by not calling DeShawn and telling her they weren’t going to attend her barbeque. I don’t care who you aren’t speaking to this week or who you don’t like, you don’t treat your host like that.

    I liked the part when Shawnie & Lisa were shopping and Shawnie said that if she had a baby girl it would be a mini-me. Then Lisa said something like, “Yeah, it would be prissy.”

    And I wanted to smack Sheree every time she talked about doing it “on her own” with no mention of her ex’s millions paving the way. It is disgusting to me that these women believe they’ve actually accomplished something and are worthy of admiration because they married rich men. But I still watch. I wonder if more Housewives are to come–Dallas? Chicago? There are tacky people everywhere…

    The Hartwell baby is SO CUTE.

    I was kind of dissapointed in Lisa for not being more excited for Ed. He was obviously really happy that he got picked up by a team. But I can understand why she’s worried.

    I also think it was incredibly rude of Sheree and Kim to not call DeShawn and cancel. RUDE. At least make up an excuse and call and say that you are not coming. Don’t just not show up. Very bad manners.

    This recap was lame. For the 2nd week in a row, you cannot seem to get the names correct despite the fact that Bravo puts them up on the screen. It is Bob WHITFIELD not Bob Woodfield as you incorrectly stated multiple times. Chickbomb, please make it a goal for yourself next week to at least get the names correct even if you cannot write a remotely humorous recap.

    Last week, someone wanted to know if Ed Hartwell is still playing in the NFL. I didn’t think he was, but I doublechecked to make sure.

    Did you know that his name is really Edgerton Hartwell? Is that the coolest? Why don’t they call him Edge?

    Anyway, he was signed by the Raiders earlier in the year, but they cut him. He is still listed on the NFL website as a “current player,” so maybe he’s still on the market.

    It’s funny how delusional some of these woman are. Sheree planning a fashion show in 3 weeks and then gets upset when everything doesn’t go to plan much like Deshawn’s stupid Foundation gala. I wish this show just featured Nene, Kim, and the Hartwells.

    I just read something interesting somewhere. It looks like our lovely Lisa Hartwell nearly beat up Kim at the reunion. Apparently, Kim said something about Lisa and her kids and Lisa went off and slapped her. I believe Bravo is still deciding whether or not to air that part of the reunion, they better air it. I guess this give something for us to look forward to in Season 2.

    Sheree is a first class be-yooootch! I love how she kept saying she put her own money into this venture and this had been her dream since she was a child. Well, yeah, the hard work she did was getting a rich man to marry her. One would think if she had wanted to be a designer since she was a child she would have learned how to sketch! I couldn’t believe she didn’t even sketch. You’d think all those people in her entourage of a$$ kissers would have tried to produce some clothes decent for her. I kept thinking of all the people on Project Runway who want to be designers and are loaded with ambition and not money. They can sketch, make patterns, drape, sew, select fabric… They take their designs from idea to final product. She makes a mockery of all true students of design.
    Since she delegates sketching to someone else I’m not surprised that she had no idea what condition her dresses were in. She just wanted more “Aren’t I wonderful,” attention. I loved it when someone asked if she was wearing one of her own creations! I hope her ex got a sense of satisfaction when there were no clothes there.

    And Lisa. Hmmmm…wonder if her life will still be as cute when Ed’s all the way in Oakland. I don’t wish them ill, but I think we may get to see a new side of her if the show continues.

    I agree about Sheree and her “designs”. Obviously she didn’t draw them and didn’t sew them (or even oversee that portion). Not all designers are good at sewing (we’ve seen that on Project Runway). Speaking of PR, did anyone else notice that Michael Knight is on next week? In the preview they showed him making some comment about “rich housewives who think they’re designers” or something similar. Looking forward to that.

    Does NeNe remind anyone else of New York? Not by looking like a drag queen, but in the way that she is funny and says whatever she is thinking? Sometimes when I listen to her talk she reminds me of NY. They kind of talk the same way… I don’t think it’s the sound (pitch) of their voice, just the words they use and the way they talk. Ne Ne seems way cooler though and more like someone you’d like to hang out with.

    I thought the recap was quite funny. Keep up the good work Chickbomb!!

    real_atlanta_girl are you really sheree — the way you hating on Chickbomb?

    Anyway, How can you have a fashion debut/viewing/show with no clothes? Sheree couldn’t even wear one of her own designs BECAUSE SHE DOESN’t HAVE ANY!! How delusional can these women be??

    since Sheree is not a real Atlanta girl, no I am not Sheree. I was born and raised in Atlanta, know how to pronounce both “ask” and “jewelry,” and know enough about fashion to know that Sheree doesn’t know a thing. The fact that I don’t find Chickbomb’s recaps funny and expect tvgasm recappers to at least pay attention to the details of the show doesn’t make me a hater. Chickbomb just needs to live up to the high standards set by B-side, Flipit, and Schoonie.

    Hey Chickbomb,

    I’ve been enjoying your recaps of this show, so much good material to work with! You covered everything in this episode and I just wanted to add some info I learned from the housewives’ own blogs (on Bravo)—that Sheree fired her PR publicist person, Tiffany, because apparently Tiffany was supposed to bring in people with connections and money to Sheree’s ‘Viewing’, but she didn’t. Um, Sheree? What exactly would all the people with money and connections be viewing, besides the blown-up sketches? I agree with your comment—I LOVED how Sheree felt so proud about ‘what she accomplished’ (which was what, using Bob’s money to create a fake line?)

    In any case, I also enjoyed reading everyone’s comments–I hadn’t heard about the Lisa/Kim blow-up at the Reunion, that ought to be interesting! Incidentally, cute Ed Hartwell was released from the Raiders before the season even started so I guess that never really became an issue for them. (Also why does Lisa swim in a cover-up?? camera crews I guess?) Oh, in her blog, Lisa comments that Kim’s comment about not wanting to eat chicken w/ NeNe was borderline rascist, and NeNe says the same in her blog. Perhaps this was partly the basis for the bad blood at the reunion that was mentioned?
    Too bad DeShawn couldn’t have organized another peace summit for that day!

    Thanks, CB!! I’m sad that this show is coming to an end soon. I want to see another season! (oh, i felt bad for NeNe, that must’ve come as quite the shock!! I thought Curtis was going to be her dad.)

    Great recap, especially the “tardy for the party” reference. I still can’t wait until that #1 hit comes out! Love the show and Nene is my favorite, because she is the only one who seems genuine and true to herself. She def. needs her own show!

    I did some digging and found out that Lisa (real name Sharon Wu, and many other names as well!) was married to Keith Sweat with whom she had two kids. She lost full custody of both because she “allegedly” had drug problems. I think this may have been what Kim was referencing on the reunion show. Hopefully Bravo airs it!

    Also discovered that Sheree (Fuller) has been arrested twice and has a 23 year old daughter whom she refers to as a “close friend”. Don’t know what information is in fact true, but it seems as though Nene’s the only real one of them all!

    I actually love your blog its halarious and I did alot of investigating on suck up Cori….(it only took me 5 weeks) get this I think she really is the only Housewife…… and a Actual Company owner… she has to be laughing her ass off at most of these women… she and her Husband John Davenport own a huge company in Atlanta named Document Technologies, I found even them on the comapany website as owners CEO and President of web address dtiglobal.com,they have like 3500 employees and in 26 states damn girl what the hell she on that show for….. then I found out that and Kim’s x husband used to work for John and Cori and thats how Kim met them and during the divorce they helped Kim and her girls because he did some really bad things. (still finding those out what he did Im sure thers a story there I will get those on here soon!) SO now I feel bad at laughing at the suck up stuff I think she’s just being used by Kim to look like she has friends and hang with people with money…..an use there boat to make herself look better, frankly Cori should be smarter than that! but you gotta love a ssista that has made success for herself. I think she needs to never go on this show again I think she is too good for it!

    Smile, thanks for the info about Cori. I had a different feeling about her than Chickbomb. I wonder what she’s doing hanging around with this crowd, unless it’s out of loyalty to Kim.

    I think Sheree mentioned that she owned a boutique for a few years. Frankly, that makes more sense than trying to start a fashion line. She should do something like the Khardashian sisters. But, of course, a fashion line feeds the ego and a store requies some work.

    Chickbomb, I love your recaps. The amount of commenters attests to your popularity. I started watching this show because of a marathon on Oxygen and I am totally hooked. These ladies are delusional! I used to think Lisa was the most “real” but probably not. And I too was wondering about the coverup. I thought she worked out incessantly so why would she not want to show off her body? Also, I concur with the Ed Hartwell news…he didn’t make it on the Raiders. Did you see that Nene has a fan in Anderson Cooper?! The Silver Fox loves this show!

    Wow – yall are better than CSI!

    Especially some of the dirt that some of yall drop on some of these women.

    SMH!

    Damn! Damn ! Damn!

    Sheree – The concept of using someone else design and passing it off as yours is nothing new. But you need business minds people that have your back 100% Fire your sorry ass entourage – or you’re going to be broke like MC Hammer.

    Kim- I used to like you but you’re so awful. A real friend would step to a real friend to solve whatever issues. You can’t sing! Dallas Austin is known to cussed folks out in the studio but he was being nice (prolly because he need that $) But I cant stand the coked out sex crazed bastard myself!

    Lisa Wu – Either u or Ed were wrong for snitching on NeNe. Own up to your snitching. Credibility goes a longgggggggggggg way! I cant wait to see the reunion show… ding ding ding!

    Ed – Sorry you’re not playing football no more.

    DeShawnie – God bless your heart!

    NeNe – Gurl you’re off the chain. How can I make a donation to your charity?

    Dwight – you’re off the chain – and you need your own reality show. I appericate you dropping good business advice!

    Bravo – better renew this show! I even have some suggestions for new cast members – Tina Ferrell and Regina Belle.

    ChickBomb, ain’t a damn thing wrong with your recaps, I love ‘em and I love you, too! You nail these tacky nouveau-riche bitches right to the wall, and you do it with style and grace (which is something none of these Alana-jewry wearing “ladies” can lay claim to). Much love to you!

    I have never actually seen this show, but I am really intrigued by the paternity testing story line for NeNe.

    I work for a paternity testing lab, and I think it is helpful for people to see that this can impact anyone.

    I hope they do follow through and show her search for her real father or show her finding resolution for herself in someway.

    May have to start watching.

    Eponymous; a wonderful word. I think I’ll add it to my mental lexicon. LoL @ all of us who noticed that Lisa swam wearing a coverup. We can conclude that she feels the same as she did regarding the world seeing her husband in a speedo; her “stuff” belongs to him, exclusively, in the bedroom. She’s trying so hard to seem “proper” but come on, she slept with Ed on the second date and married him in a month and 23 days. Watch her face and eyes: it’s a mask hiding a hard, conniving, calculating, cold strumpet.

    I sort of half-watched the ATL housewives and was not interested in watching the repeats until I happened upon your blog, chickbomb. Ur da bomb! Not only are you intelligent, a bit bombastic and funny, but you’re so informative! I had to start watching the repeats to see for myself all the stuff I missed that I learned about here! I’m seeing and hearing things that are making the show hilarious to me! LOL. You should work for BRAVO because I now really pay attention to the show!

    Yea something about Lisa is reallll fake. She doesnt seem as genuine as Deshawn. I think she likes to instigate stuff and hide from it…I mean its obvious that deshawn did not tell kim. There is no doubt it my mind she told kim about the song. Her losing custody of her kids is reallll suspect. She think she sleek taking shots at Keith Sweat on the show too. I know that she filed for bankruptcy last year too. I hope they take her off next season..she is boring. Deshawn should be the only snooze factor! lol

    I think Lisa is fake. Something is real off. She think she is sleek taking shots at Keith Sweat on the show. It won’t surprised me to the least if she is the one that went and told Kim about the song. Her losing custody of her two kids is real suspect….she is boring as pretty as she is. I hope they take her off next season and replace her with someone else!

    Okay. Here’s my little contribution of dug up trash.

    When Kim was 24, she tried out for a show called “Hot or Not”. The judges were Rachel Hunter, Lorenzo Lamas and some other douche nobody cares about anymore. Anyway… She said her profession was a nurse. I just about fell on the floor laughing. I mean really..WTF?? Can’t you just picture her wearing a sleazy nurses uniform with her butt and boobs hanging out, a cig in one hand and a sloshing glass of wine in the other, slurring “it’s time to change your bedpan Big Poppa”? But here’s the kicker. After she walked out and tried to strike a sexy pose..the big “NOT” buzzer went off over her big bratz doll wigged head and she had to skulk off the stage! No sh*t! How humiliating.

    Hey everyone. Long time reader first time to post in any forum.

    In the episode where Kim goes and drops off medicine to Sheree she says that she is a nurse. She said and i quote ” Under all this blond hair there is actually a brain’..lol.. yeah right..

    Also why does it take so long for the recaps. Here we are almost to the reunion episode and last weeks recap is not posted yet…

    Did you notice in the “Shit by SheRay” segment, that the one dress with the leopard print piece on the back didn’t have a drawing of the front view? I am guessing the front of it looked so bad because there was no drawing of the front and the seamstress had to make a SWAG about how the front was to sppsd to look.

    i just happened upon this site yesterday, and i really think people could die laughing. the recaps AND the comments are off the chain funny. i’m finding out some good stuff on here and other sites about the housewives. did you all know that some of sheree’s suppossed friends are blogging her business. how she had a kid at 14-15, she had no money before or after her husband left her, she supposedly had the kids to trap him into marrying her, none of his friends could stand her, the gates to her property don’t work, the close friend of the family in the essence magazine article is actually her 23 y/o daughter. why wasn’t she featured in the show? kim was supposed to have been telling some major people that lisa lost her children because she was a crackwhore, which is why lisa and her don’t get along now and which is why kim went on tmz with her lawyer in front of her tiny rented condo talking about lisa threatend her life and she had a restraining order against her, and some other stuff i can’t remember at the moment. did anyone notice sheree’s office in what looked to be the attic of her home. her desk is in a dark corner of what may or may not be a spare bedroom and the carpet outside the door was raggedy. sheree’s best bet is to open up another boutique and like the kardashians and maybe be a stylist or even a consultant, even though most of the things she wore looked suspect. she doesn’t eant to be a designer, she wants to delegate and take the credit. honey you are not nor will you ever be kimora. and while everyone gets on kim for her tacky wig, what about shawnie’s hair. how come sometimes she has haird on the side of her head and other times she doesn’t. and she has teeth like dice. does anyone ever catch the way her husband looks at her when she’s talkin. he actually looks embarrassed. that poor man. if they do have another season i bet she still won’t have help. and i also heard that office of her foundation is really some guy sitting there playing games on a computer. there’s no real staff there because people don’t last more than a couple days.
