‘Real Housewives of Atlanta’ reunion review: Kenya Moore battles it out with everyone
Sunday night’s “Real Housewives of Atlanta” reunion show had it all. There was shouting, insults fired off left and right, more uses of the words “booty video” than we ever expected to hear in our lifetime.
So why was this such a big deal throughout the special? The simple answer to this is pretty simple: Phaedra Parks felt very much offended that Kenya Moore more or less took her idea to create this workout video, and surprisingly the new cast member admitted to Andy Cohen that she was “inspired” by finding out what Phaedra was doing. However, Kenya seemed to validate her success by saying that her video was more successful than Phaedra’s which started a massive fight all its own.
Basically, we really spent a good 20-25 minutes of this reunion show hearing about how Phaedra’s video was supposedly better than Kenya’s, from reasons related to her body type to her entertainment value. This, of course, was not even the only fight that Kenya had during the special, as there was a big spat with Porsha Stewart over the differences between a Miss USA and a Miss America.
At the end of the day, it’s hard to really make a definitive statement over who came off looking the best during the reunion show. However, Cynthia Bailey had a pretty good season, and she mostly felt honest and engaging during the special. Plus, NeNe Leakes now seems to be carrying around an attitude of “who cares what these women think,” and that may be because of the fact that she has found success in Hollywood, and may not be as concerned about some of the other women anymore.
Overall, what did you think about this reunion show? Be sure to share some of your thoughts below, and you can watch some more video highlights from the “Real Housewives of Atlanta” reunion show over at the link here.

i am team Kendra,have never cared for Phaedra since she lied about her pregnancy date. She now proclaims have much of a strong woman she is. Porsha we now see how stupid you are, supporting your husband who clearly did and do not give a d### about you. Whose ashey now. Candy you are so boring, Todd and your relationship is so stale. NeNe you go girl. Phaedra nobody wants that body you got, short stubby legs with tiny ankles. Porsha, Kenya body and appearance still looks as young as you do. Porsha how would you feel if someone misrepresented your grandfathers’ feed the hungry charity. all that youth and dumb acting did not keep that old husband did it. Cynthia keep up the good work. You do not and did not say much when they were talking about you last season, but you getting the last laugh girl. Go Kenya, I do not think you are crazy they just jealous. Just my opinion. Phaedra you need to actlike the educated woman you suppose to be. Some lawyer you are, so said Sheree. She would have faired better with her ex-husband had she had a better lawyer. Wendy show said Kenya’s video was doing better than yours.

Kenya putting down Porsha shows her immaturity at her age , If she was so disappointed in Porsha why wasn’t she a better example to her instead of fighting her and putting her down at all times. Demanding respect at whatever age or your status without earning is what your going to get NONE. Give to get.IT was disappointing more to see Kenya act the way she did and though she won’t admit it she begged Walter, he never showed he cared for her. Because it is a reality show most of the women two faced one another…Porsha was the new one and she brought her innocence with her, they should have all taken her under their wing.

Kenya better watch herself–she’s as wacky and loud mouthed as Danielle was on Housewives of New Jersey–and those New Jersey housewives got rid of Danielle fast, or at least someone did.
Housewives of Atlanta has always been entertaining–it certainly doesn’t need a Kenya to make it so and I’m getting sick of her fast–she is definitely nuts to think our interest in Phaedra this season was all due to her too. Phaedra has always been wonderfully interesting and wears very well. Kenya is just the new girl on the block–and an idea thief at that. I’m starting to hope she is “discovered” by Hollywood and they take her off to play more than a bit part and we’re rid of her and soon. Or maybe Donald Trump can woo her away for a run on the Apprentice and she never finds her way back. She was interesting at first but it’s wearing thin fast.
Phaedra held her own very well, as she always does–she is so cute and funny–I felt bad for her though being 8 months pregnant and all–that’s got to be hard on someone no matter how well they can give it back.
I miss Kim–it will be good to see her at the reunion. Hope next year is a little better. This has been my least favorite season of Atlanta so far. . .in the past it has been outstanding. The new girls on the block just don’t quite cut it. . .keep looking.

Kenya did look “cra-cra” all season long! Now showing up at the season end and acting the victim was over the top. She threw more shade than anyone this season. Hope she does not accidentally hurt Candy with that fan. Can’t wait for part II…..

Pure entertainment, Kenya is a FOOL… She brings the needed drama. It’s also deeper between Phaedra and Kenya that we know. But Kandi can let Phaedra fight her own fight, she holds her own ground. Andy, is the biggest S**t stirrer. Can’t wait to next week.
