RHOA Rewind: ‘The Real Housewives of Atlanta’s’ Most Cringe Worthy Moments

If Ya Don’t Know, Now Ya Know
When singer/actress/all of a sudden a key character on RHOA Demetria McKinney drops by The Bailey Agency to get some help casting her video (more about that later), the topic of her love life comes up, and it’s then that she lets Cynthia and Peter know that she’s been linked with her manager, producer and apparent playboy Roger Bobb, for eight years. This is news to Cynthia and Peter, because in all the time they’ve known Roger, he hasn’t said a word about Ms. Demetria. She says that they kept their relationship under wraps for work reasons. We say, there was a little more goin’ on than that.

Kandi and Mama Joyce Hug It Out…Sort Of
Um, forget Cynthia, it seems like Kandi’s Aunt Nora is the two-faced one. After talking about Mama Joyce and her man in last week’s episode, then turning around and siding with Mama Joyce this week, Aunt Nora forces Kandi to sit down and talk to her mother. The conversation is short, but filled with its share of awkward silences, a bombshell from Mama Joyce about her health, and ends with a half-hearted hug between the two. Our favorite moment though? Mama Joyce goin’ hard saying that Kandi can keep her old house and take the one she just bought her, too. Riiiight.

Nene’s New Do
So far this season hasn’t been Nene Leakes’ best when it comes to her interview looks. After bringing us burlesque in the first few episodes, this week she shocked us with an edgier look that we’re not quite sure that we like, but we’re not so sure that we hate it either.

Roger Bobb Gets Bold
After hearing about him in just about every scene, we finally get to meet the now notorious Roger Bobb when Kenya suddenly decides that she should go talk to him to get some help on the work front. (Mmm Hmm) The two engage in a little innocent flirting, Roger admits to Kenya that he is, in fact, dating Demetria, then proceeds to invite Kenya to Demetria’s video premiere party, letting her know that he really wants her there. That special invitation was bad enough, but seeing Demetria’s picture sitting on the floor, propped up against the wall as Roger is escorting Kenya out the door makes the scene seem slightly scandalous.

Too Late Night with Nene Leakes
Nene Leakes is working on staying rich, b—h, selling her clothing line on the Home Shopping Network. She starts off full of energy with all kinds of “clonks” and “bloops,” but as the broadcast goes into the 2 o’clock hour– that’s 2 o’clock AM, those clonks and bloops were starting to turn into z’s, with Nene looking like she’s seconds from passing out on air. Just when we wanted to yell at the screen for her to wake her azz up, news that her shirts had sold out gives her the jolt of energy she needed.

Kandi’s Attempt at Komfort
Phaedra Parks has had it rough. ROUGH. After spending most of her time taking care of her sons through all of Apollo’s “foolishness” as she would say, and helping Derek J in his wig-napping case, she finally steps out to hang out with Kandi for a break from all of the crazy in her life. So we’re sure the last thing she wants to talk about when she gets to Kandi’s house is her marriage and how she’s going to deal with telling the boys about their father going to prison. Kandi calls on her cousin to talk to Phaedra about his own experience having a father in prison, but we can tell that Phaedra isn’t exactly thinking about heeding his advice; especially when he lets her know that he’s been arrested himself. We can see that. Kandi and her cousin…not so much.

Roger Bobb Is A No-Show
So it’s finally the night of Demetria’s video premiere and everyone is out for the event that surprisingly isn’t being held at Bar One. Everyone except for Roger Bobb, that is. Um, isn’t it his client’s party? Scratch that. Isn’t it his woman’s party?! The party where they’re supposed to make their official debut as a couple? Demetria tells the ladies that Roger got held up with work, but the expressions on their faces show that they’re not buying it. And all we can do is hope that Demetria didn’t either.

Claudia’s Candor

She may not be thirsty, but she’s definitely thrifty. When talking to Demetria about her eight year relationship with Roger, Claudia asks if she’s waiting for a proposal. Demetria tells the ladies that at this point she’d accept a Cheerio as an engagement ring, and Claudia suggests that maybe it’s time to skip a pill and “trap a man.” Wait…what?!

Demetria’s Detriment
So all (or at least a lot of) Atlanta is out for this premiere party. Demetria is already minus one man and half of her shirt, but as it turns out she’s also missing her video. “Technical difficulties” keep the video from playing on the screen throughout the night, and when they finally get it going…there’s no sound. Definitely not her night.

Showtime with Apollo
Roger Bob may not have made it to the premiere, but apparently the event was important enough for Apollo to attend and make things uncomfortable for everybody. We’re not sure what kind of response he was expecting to get from Phaedra, but we’re glad she was able to hold it together so she didn’t end up having to get hauled off in handcuffs herself. And not the Bedroom Kandi kind.

An End to Beige on Beige Crime
Blink and you probably missed, so thank you Kenya for bringing it to our attention so we could rewind. After the pajama party melee last season where Apollo attacked Brandon for reasons only known to him, we were pretty sure that  the two were going to keep their distance for the foreseeable future. So when they actually came face to face we held our breath, waiting for either shade or punches to be thrown. Thankfully, all of that was avoided. Ladies, take note.

Demetria’s Side Boob

Thank you to Kenya for pointing out the situation with Brandon and Apollo. Thanks go to Porsha for pointing out the fashion fail that was Demetria’s side boob. At times, it photographed well, but when she was sitting with the ladies, it just looked all kinds of wrong. But hey, it looks like Derek J actually ended up getting one of Nene’s tops.

Demetria vs. Kenya

When we first met Ms. Demetria she had a lot to say about Kenya Moore pressing up against her man in a photo, then not denying that they were together when several blogs reported that she and Bobb were dating. So naturally, we expected there to be some kind of confrontation between the two. We just didn’t think they’d do it at Demetria’s party. We also didn’t think Demetria would come at Kenya so hard, only to fall back so quickly that we wondered why she bothered even saying anything at all. Answer: Because that’s the kind of ish they do on reality shows.

The Most Awkward Hug In History
They say a picture is worth a thousand words, well in this one, we’re thinking that most of those words can’t be aired on network TV. After making a scene just by walking in the room, Apollo forces Phaedra to sit next to him, complaining that she’s acting like he’s not her husband. Several mood changes later, he puts his arms around Phaedra who is looking not just uncomfortable, but almost repulsed. It may have only lasted a few seconds, but it seemed like hours.

And it doesn’t stop there! In next week’s episode we see this heated exchange between Kandi and Todd where the mama drama goes to a whole other level! How long are these two gonna last?
