‘Real Housewives of Atlanta’ season 8, episode 5 review: Did Porsha and Cynthia make up?
After the huge cliffhanger from the last episode of “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” we have been anxiously waiting for tonight’s episode to give us some answers as to what happened with the fight between Cynthia and Porsha. Things got very heated between the two of them and the preview from last week suggests that Porsha is going to get physical with Cynthia making her the second housewife that Porsha has become physical with on the show, but who really started this fight?
Watching this fight get physical so quickly was scary: Porsha was getting heated and getting closer to Cynthia, so she kicks Porsha away from her and Porsha comes at her physically and has to be restrained. Porsha and Shamea are removed from the boat while Cynthia calls Peter and tells him that she needs him to come back home. He comes home and she tells him what happened including the kick and Peter says that this anger can’t have come from Porsha and that she should apologize to her because he feels that the anger is from the their marital problems more then what Porsha said. Peter was very good at focusing in on what the real issue was for Cynthia and was able to help her see it as well.
Kenya decides to meet with Porsha to talk about what happened on the boat. Porsha said that she was upset because the day started so great and once Kenya started kicking Shamea off the boat things went sideways. Kenya says that Porsha straddled Cynthia and that was provoking Cynthia – this of course rubs Porsha the wrong way. She handles Kenya the right way and says that this is a fight that is between her and Cynthia and that Kenya doesn’t need to be nosing in.
Kenya organizes a lunch for the ladies to air things out about the boat cruise and Porsha asks Cynthia to speak privately to the side – which was the right thing to do. They don’t need to have it out in front of everyone at the table. Cynthia asks Porsha right away if she is okay, and it sets a stable tone for the conversation. Porsha says she’s sorry and wants to move forward and Cynthia also apologizes for what she did to Porsha – Looks like they are going to move forward as friends.
We know how it can be when someone is under the type of stress that Cynthia is under with her marriage is falling apart, and we think that Porsha means well, so it was great to see these two ladies make up. Maybe now the ladies can all move forward to the next event (which looks like a trip to Miami) without too much drama. Episode grade: B-
