Did the ladies manage to put their differences aside for one day? That was put to the question on The Real Housewives of Atlanta Season 9 Episode 13 when they went on a camping trip. Watch The Real Housewives of Atlanta Season 9 Episode 13 Online When the episode got underway, the ladies continued to question whether it would be a good idea to go get hotels. They did not want to sleep in tents. Sheree Whitfield wasted no time in getting the drama started and asked Marlo about which member of the group could be sleeping with ladies. Marlo knew straight away who she was referring to and told her to just as Kandi Burruss about it. Sheree, however, felt like it was not a good time to be asking about it. Instead, she revealed to the camera that she wanted it out in the open quickly. “I’ve been biting my tongue and holding this in the entire time,” she revealed. Yes, viewers at home have been waiting for you to reveal it, too. The drama continued when the ladies put up their tents. They gathered around the campfire and Marlo called Kenya out for not inviting her to the housewarming party. “I already apologized multiple times,” Kenya said, but Marlo was not letting it go. “You’re so miserable. Your earrings are a disaster,” Marlo said. She then decided to diss Kenya’s appearance some more by taking aim at her false eyelashes. However, the most shocking diss came in the form of Marlo trashing Kenya for not having a relationship with her mother. “If a person’s mother don’t want to be bothered with them,” she began as she looked at Kenya. “That’s how you know she’s evil.” The other ladies finally stepped in and agreed that her comments were below the belt. Phaedra tried to keep the peace by telling the ladies they were on break and should be getting along. She even went as far as saying they should do activities to fix things. The next morning, the ladies were chatting about divorce. Phaedra noted that her divorce to Apollo Nida was almost complete. Kandi butted in, saying that she heard a divorce can go through quicker when one spouse is in jail, but Phaedra was annoyed about her butting in. Cynthia revealed her divorce was almost over with. “It makes me feel sad that Peter doesn’t want to be at the divorce settlement signing,” she revealed. Some time later, the ladies went to dinner and Kenya decided it was best to put her feud with Marlo aside. “I was very upset that I had hurt you, and I apologize,” Kenya began. “Your apology is accepted, and I apologize for some of the mean things I said last night,” Marlo replied. “But I will proceed with caution,” she added. While Marlo’s feud with Kenya was over, she then started a new feud with Kandi. “I’ve just been hearing things. I want to know. Kandi, are you a lesbian?” she asked. Kandi flipped out, demanding to know who was telling her the details. When the previous conversation was rehashed, Porsha was put in the hot seat. “So you’re saying that I was insinuating that she was a lesbian, but I didn’t say that she was a lesbian,” she barked. Kandi then dropped the bomb that she had tried sleeping with women. “Yes, I have tried it. Yes, I have! But believe me, I’m not the only one at this table who has.” Kandi meant these words for Porsha. “You don’t know anything about what I have done!” Porsha snapped.

If you watched Vanderpump Rules last night , you known that the highlight of the episode was unquestionably the roast of Jax Taylor. For the most part, the cast showed some surprising comedic chops in skewering the West Coast’s answer to The Situation Unfortunately, as is often the case at this sort of event, someone crossed the line into decidedly “not cool” territory – and surprisingly, it was a member of the audience. As fans of the show know, rumors about Jax being gay have been circulating for years. At this point, it’s sort of a running gag amongst the group of frenemies, and while there may be problematic undertones, it seems that the humor isn’t rooted in homophobia, but rather in the notion that Jax used to exchange sexual favors for rent money. But that’s not the way Brittany Cartwright’s mother sees it. If you watch Vanderpump Rules online , then you’re aware that Brittany’s mom, Cherrie, is an ultra-conservative, deeply religious woman who’s less than thrilled about her daughter’s choice of suitor. Remarkably, however, she was unconcerned about the allegations that Jax loves cocaine, cheated on every girlfriend he’s ever had, and has served time behind bars on numerous occasions. What did bother her, however, was what she described as the “homosexual stuff.” Jax’s alleged past as a male escort made its way into the night’s stand-up routines, and each time, Cherrie made no effort to conceal her chagrin. “He’s slept with many, many women,” Tom Schwartz joked about Jax at one point. “And a few men!” Cherrie grimaced as her daughter jokingly (we think) covered her ears. Several cast members and producer Andy Cohen have defended Cherrie, claiming that she was simply upset by the idea that her possible future son-in-law might be attracted to other But in addition to being rooted in a dangerous stereotype about bisexual men, that excuse doesn’t hold water for two reasons: Cherrie wasn’t upset about the many anecdotes regarding Jax’s infidelity with other women, and she was also outraged by the jokes about Brittany hooking up with Kristen. Taking place, as it does, in West Hollywood, and featuring as one of its stars the owner of a prominent area gay club, Vanderpump is usually a pretty progressive, liberal-minded show. Watch Vanderpump Rules Season 5 Episode 12 Online (Though the cast rightfully took some flak for reacting to the Orlando nightclub shooting for turning up and dancing on top of bars.) So fans were upset not only by Cherrie’s homophobic views, but the cast’s defense of her comments. “Britt & her mom are HUGE #LGBTQ activists,” Stassi Schroeder tweeted during the show. “Any mom would be concerned if she heard her daughter’s bf might not be ‘into her.'” As we’re reminded every time we see some jackass with a Pepe the Frog meme as his avatar, there is still a lot of hate in America, and some of us are forced to confront it within our own homes or social circles. View Slideshow: 37 Classic Vanderpump Rules Moments in GIFs Except for in extreme cases, that doesn’t mean that we have to condemn the bigoted parties and sever ties. But it also doesn’t mean that we have to defend them or make excuses on their behalf. The way forward is to acknowledge hate and backward ideas and try to help our prejudiced pals see the error of their ways. Considering Jax and Brittany just landed a spinoff, we get the sense that this a position Mr. Taylor (who’s actually shown himself to be admirably right-minded on this particular issue) will find himself in more often in the years to come.
Justin Bieber has mostly been keeping to himself for the past several weeks. Actually, according to a new report, he’s possibly been railing Kourtney Kardashian again , but the singer hasn’t made a big deal about this publicly. While Bieber has been shunning the spotlight, however, some disgusting moron has been acting like Bieber online. And we don’t mean this guy has been playing the guitar or taking his shirt off a lot on a boat in Florida. Instead, Bryan Asrary – a 24-year old from Revere, Massachusetts – has been arrested for allegedly having duped a very young woman into thinking he was actually Justin Bieber. TMZ and NBC News explain that Asrary allegedly came across an nine-year girl back in 2014; she was viewing Bieber’s Instagram page at the time. Asrary proceeded to send a direct message to the unnamed girl, claiming he knew Bieber and saying that he could arrange a text meeting. It’s unclear how the girl responded to this assertion, but Asrary soon upped his bogus and illegal ante. He’s accused of pretending to be Bieber and demanding that the girl send him nude photos of herself, even threatening to hurt her if she refused to comply. In response, the victim sent Asrary naked selfies and video. Late last year, Asrary attempted to extort the same girl in the same fashion. This time, however, the girl told her mother what was going on. And the mother alerted the authorities. Sergeant Peter Hahn of the Human Trafficking Bureau says an investigation was launched on November 3 after police learned that the now-11-year-old was being blackmailed over the Internet for sexually explicit images. “The victim disclosed to detectives that two years prior, when she was just 9 years old, she was viewing the Instagram page of superstar Justin Bieber when she received a direct message from another Instagram user,” Hahn says. He added: “That user (the suspect) stated that he knew Bieber and offered to arrange a text meeting with the victim.” Hahn detailed how the girl was instructed to set up an account on social media service KIK and how she started “communicating… with someone she believed was actually Justin Bieber.” After the girl informed her mother of Asrary’s follow-up attempts to receive more naked pictures, detectives obtained warrants for information from “the relevant social media sites,” which led investigators to identify Asrary as the supposed culprit. And it sounds as though Asrary has been conducting this scheme for years, with victims around the country. Evidence “revealed that the sextortion had been committed from across the nation,” according to Hahn, who alleged that Asrary “not only confessed to extorting the victim for sexual images and videos, but also implicated himself in similar crimes against other young girls throughout the country.” Massachusetts State Police have arrested Asrary on charges of extortion and child pornography, among other crimes. Hahn expects “additional victims” to soon be identified and for Asrary to “face multiple charges in California [where the girl lives] to include extortion, manufacturing child pornography and communicating with a minor with the intent to commit a sex act.” The sergeant has made it clear that Asrary does not know Bieber at all. He “simply fabricated the relationship to influence his young victims.” What a gross individual.

Yandy Smith was not about to let Erika and Samantha ruin her life, so she decided to prove that the other women were talking smack on Love & Hip Hop Season 7 Episode 10 . We picked things up with Drewski meeting up with Julez and letting him know that Sky had moved in with him. If you watch Love & Hip Hop online, you’ll probably be thinking that this is surprising because they always fight. Watch Love & Hip Hop Season 7 Episode 10 Online An odd thing that Drewski did was set up a spy cam in the house. Now, that obviously means he does not quite trust Sky. Maybe that’s because Drewski would entertain the thought of cheating on her. Somehow, Sky seems like the least likely person on this show to cheat, so there’s really no logic in his plan. If anything, it’s going to backfire and cost him his relationship. Elsewhere, Rich and Peter met up at a car show to talk about what went down with Cisco. After some back and forth, Peter told Rich that he knew what Cisco was going through. View Slideshow: 27 Reality Stars Who Should Never Be On TV Again Rich did not seem to care about what was going on with Cisco because he felt like there was a new drama every other day for him. Meanwhile, Erika and Samantha attended Aseem’s birthday party. It did not take long for the ladies to trash Yandy. Erika was first up. “I knew Yandy wouldn’t show up here. She preaches about it being all about the kids, but the kids aren’t here” Samantha says “It’s not all about the kids. It’s all about Yandy trying to hide the fact that she is an unmarried baby momma just like us.” Judy showed up and the two women hounded her to find out why Yandy was not at the party. Judy revealed that Yandy did not get an invite. This prompted Erika to drop the bomb that Yandy was not married to Mendecees, but Judy did not give a damn about what the two women were saying. “I’m not going to dignify that comment. Whatever issues you two ladies have with Yandy you need to put them to the side.” Sometime later, J and Snoop met up to discuss what went wrong at Snoop’s label party. Snoop was first up, saying that being business partners was not a good idea for either of them. This prompted J to flip out, blaming Snoop for everything and she stormed off. Seriously, Snoop needs to ice this chick out before things get worse. Yandy met up with Judy, who let her know what went down at the party. Yandy was horrified to hear about the party because she received no invite. Yandy told Judy about the voice recordings she obtained from Koko and Judy said she wished the girls would just disappear. Samantha then got a phone call from Mendecees, who said that he was sleeping with her and Erike at the same time and she needed to get herself in line. She then turned the tables and told him to worry about the kids who need a father. Judy and Yandy showed up at Erika’s shop to confront her about what she was doing with the recordings. Samantha appeared at the shop and Yandy lunged at her. What do you think about all of the drama? Sound off below! View Slideshow: Best Reality TV Fights of 2016

Matt Jordan is turning out to be one of the most horrid people on reality TV. Yes, we’d even rank him as worse than the likes of Spencer Pratt. We kicked off The Real Housewives of Atlanta Season 9 Episode 9 with Kenya Moore getting Cynthia Bailey up to speed on what had been going on with Matt. All of this chatter was going on while the pair took their dogs to the groomers. Kenya was quick to point out that her father had been instrumental in mediating the drama between her and Matt. “He wants us to take a break,” Kenya explained. “He wants Matt to do some therapy, work on himself, and he wants me to do the same.” Now, we’re not going out there and saying that Kenya is one of the nicest women, but she certainly does not deserve to be treated the way Matt has treated her. The ladies switched gears to a new drama: Peter Thomas called Kenya and asked her to host the opening of his new club in Charlotte. If you watch The Real Housewives of Atlanta online , you will already know that Peter is Cynthia’s soon-to-be-ex-husband. Now, you could tell she was disappointed that he was going to these measures to piss her off, but she was adamant that she was not annoyed with Kenya. Kenya then came to the conclusion that it would be a good idea for Cynthia to go with her and be her special guest. She agreed. Peter then hit up Todd Tucker to invite him to the lavish bash, while dropping the bomb that he had also invited Matt. Hey, what could go wrong when you invite the likes of Matt Jordan to a party? Meanwhile, Kandi Burruss took a whole lot of issue with a former employee who was calling her out on social media for being “fake.” Turns out, the dude was still working for her at certain events and she wasted no time in getting a hold of him at the next event. When confronted, he claimed that he was not a fan of the way his departure was handled. He even went as far as claiming that she was not paying him enough. Yeah, that explains why he wanted the permanent job back. Right? As you can probably expect, Kandi was less than impressed with the guy calling her out for stuff that just simply was not true. “You can call me a bitch and you can call me an a–hole, but you cannot call me fake!” Something tells us he’s no longer on Kandi’s Christmas card list. While Kandi seemed to think that was the end of it, Johnnie dropped by Phaedra’s office with the aim of filing a lawsuit against his former boss. Johnnie claimed that he was getting a measly $500 a week with zero benefits and was working 80 hours a week. That’s a whole lot of work for not a lot of dough. As much as Phaedra wanted to be the one to take the case, she was wise enough to know that the case was not in her area of expertise. Sometime later, Kenya had a change of heart and asked Peter to cancel Matt’s plane ticket because she did not think it was a good idea for him to show up. Matt took to social media to vent his frustration at the fiasco. View Slideshow: 19 Real Housewives Who Only Lasted One Season “I just got done running through the terminal to catch a flight to go to the grand opening of Peter’s club in North Carolina, and guess who cancelled my ticket? Kenya Moore.” Kenya then read out some of the text messages Matt was sending her to a very shocked Cynthia. He was threatening her. Cynthia thought the best move was to get the cops involved. When Kenya showed up at the event, Matt appeared. Maybe this show is more scripted than we give it credit for. Matt made a beeline for Kenya’s car, but it was clear she did not want anything to do with him. When the driver tried to roll up the window, Matt punched him in the face. After that, everyone seemed to agree that there was just no coming back from that outburst for the couple and Kenya was forced to think about the very real possibility that she and Matt just weren’t meant to be. What do you think about it? Should Kenya cut her losses? Sound off below! View Slideshow: Real Housewives All Stars: Who Should Be Cast?
