The Real Housewives of Atlanta Recap: Eva Marcille vs. The Entire Cast

Eva Marcille is learning the hard way that being shady is not the way forward on The Real Housewives of Atlanta.  NeNe Leakes was livid that she never made the cut to be invited to Eva’s bachelorette party and wasted no time in telling her friends just how mad she was.  Eva was put on blast during a girls’ trip that was planned by NeNe. Cynthia Bailey took an immediate issue with the fact that some of the housewives were left out, mainly because Eva previously asked NeNe to speak at her wedding.  When asked about how the event was, Eva could not look any of the ladies in the eye, so she settled for the ground and said the event was “bomb” and that “it was a surprise.” This was clearly a tactic from Eva to make everyone think that she was not in the know about who was and was not invited.  And then Porsha Williams threw in her two cents.  “But I was invited a while ago,” Porsha yelled, and Kandi Burruss was not amused. “Wait, I’m confused. How is it a surprise if you invited Porsha?” the Xscape hitmaker complained.  Eva continued to claim that she had little knowledge of the event but kept changing her story throughout the episode.  Porsha claimed she “didn’t think it was a secret” and asked straight up why NeNe was not part of the guest list.  Eva continued on the denial train, and Cynthia was mad. Eva has long maintained that she and NeNe go way back, so Cynthia was pissed that Eva would treat her this way.  “I don’t have any biological sisters that I know, so for me, women in my life and in my circle is a blessing,” Eva went on to say while fighting back tears. “I don’t have to be best friends with NeNe for me to have a level of respect for her. I’m inspired by NeNe. I have seen who NeNe has become. I’ve seen her successes, and I support her.” “I don’t talk to her every day like [Cynthia does], that’s fine. Or every day like Marlo does, that’s fine. But that doesn’t change the way I feel about her.” NeNe was taken aback, but still confused.  “I think Marlo and Cynthia’s biggest issue was how do you be in somebody’s wedding and they don’t invite you to the bachelorette weekend?” she said to Eva. “Even if you thought a person was busy, you still extend the invite, whether they’re busy or not.” NeNe could tell there was something amiss with Eva, but she did not tell her that to her face.  “I don’t know if I would have gone to Eva’s bachelorette party, but an invite would’ve been f–king nice,” she said. “I mean, she did ask me to speak at her wedding, so it seems to me it would make more sense if she had just said, ‘Hey, girl, do you wanna come to Florida?!’ And I probably would’ve said, ‘Hey, girl, no!'” Okay then.  The other big fight of the night was a dud. Shamari DeVoe felt like Porsha was giving her the cold shoulder, so she called her out.  Porsha responded by saying that she felt the same way about Shamari. It emerged that Eva was the one who was causing all the problems, so Porsha was in the clear here.  What are your thoughts on the latest arguments?

Miss Universe 2018: Who Took Home the Sexist Crown?

Somehow, in the year 2018, beauty pageants still exist. It remains a confounding fact that women are paraded around on stage and judged for their bodies and their brief answers to very broad and stupid questions by a panel of random judges. But still… they do exist. And a rather major beauty pageant was held on Sunday night. So… who took home the crown of Miss Universe 2018? Name other than Miss Philippines, Catriona Gray! The new and beautiful champion beat out 93 other hopefuls in a star-studded competition, including runner-up Miss South Africa Tamaryn Green and the second runner-up, Miss Venezuela Sthefany Gutiérrez. The victory caused Gray to break into tears. The theme of the 67th Miss Universe pageant was “Empowered Women” and it was judged by seven women including former pageant winners, businesswomen and a fashion designer. It also included the first-ever transgender contestant. But the 24-year-old Gray – who was born in Australia and studied at the Berklee College of Music in Boston, Massachusetts – simply would not be denied her moment to shine. Even though Miss USA actually tried to steal she spotlight a few days earler… … but acting like a spoiled American snob. Late last week, Sarah Rose Summers came under fire for making comments about two non-English speaking contestants during one of the show’s rehearsals. Joined by Miss Australia and Miss Colombia in an Instagram video filmed on the preliminary night of competition, Summers spoke openly about Miss Vietnam, H’Hen Nie, and Miss Cambodia, Rern Sinat, and their struggles with English. As you can see below, she mocked their ignorance: Sarah Rose Summers, Miss USA, Mocks Pageant Contestants for Not Speaking English After the video went viral, Miss USA issued the following statement: @MissUniverse is an opportunity for women from around the world to learn about each other’s cultures, life experiences, and views. We all come from different backgrounds and can grow alongside one another. In a moment where I intended to admire the courage of a few of my sisters, I said something that I now realize can be perceived as not respectful, and I apologize. My life, friendships, and career revolve around me being a compassionate and empathetic woman. I would never intend to hurt another. I am grateful for opportunities to speak with Nat, Miss Cambodia, and H’Hen, Miss Vietnam, directly about this experience. These are the moments that matter most to me. Beauty pageants are dumb and sexist. But that doesn’t mean Gray didn’t deserve to win this one. CONGRATULATIONS!
