Prince Williams/WireImage Porsha Williams Talks Dennis McKinley, Did Dennis Date Kandi? During last night’s RHOA premiere fans met Porsha’s husband-to-be Dennis McKinley. Porsha gave fans their first full look at the love of her life who owns several hookah lounges and is a hotdog mogul. According to Porsha, they fell in love SUPER fast—as in on the first date and haven’t looked back since. Now they’ve been dating for five months and are looking at rings ranging from 6 karats to 10 karats ranging in price from $145,000 to $552,000 because Dennis “sold 2,000 hot dogs last week,” so there’s no budget. Things got especially interesting however when Kandi and Dennis traveled to Miami for a girls trip to surprise NeNe at her boutique opening. When Porsha brought up her fellow housewife Kandi, Dennis got visibly uncomfortable. Porsha: “You know Kandi? Dennis: “Yeah.” Porsha: “You met her before? Where?” Dennis: “I don’t know.” Fans are now adamant that Dennis REALLY knows Kandi—and that Porsha should be ready for some drama. Porsha: you know Kandi Dennis: yeah Porsha: you Met her before, where?

Image via Splash DMX Going To Prison For Probation Violation Earl Simmons just can’t get right. According to TMZ the brotha known professionally as DMX is going back to prison for violating his probation with several failed drug tests. X had voluntarily checked himself into rehab while out on bail in his tax evasion case. Guess that didn’t stick. This video of a excitedly rambling X holding a church service inside a St. Louis airport was evidence enough for the judge to pull the rapper’s card. Witnesses from the video say Earl was drinking and buying drinks for others. X will be sentenced in March, his judge chided him saying Dark Man told him a “great big lie” when agreeing to bail terms. Sounds like Earl is about to get a whole set of encyclopedias thrown at him. Continue reading →
Charles Sykes/Bravo/NBCU Photo Bank via Getty Imag Haughty housewife havoc… Porsha Williams Responds To Kandi Burruss Drama On RHOA Porsha Williams is responding to Kandi Burruss’ petty behavior on the latest episode of “Real Housewives Of Atlanta.” If you tuned in Sunday then you no doubt saw Kandi shadily invite Porsha to her ESSENCE Magazine release party to show her “what winning looks like.” Fans then saw Porsha try to extend an olive branch to Kandi, who gave her a very limp church hug. Now Porsha’s responding to Kandi’s shade and she’s BIG mad about it. According to Porsha she had genuine intentions and accepted the invite to show support to Kandi… “For me, I accepted the invitation because you know, if you’re trying to get to a better place with somebody, and they invited you somewhere, especially something special like this,” said Porsha on Dish Nation. “I felt like I needed to go to show my support, you know, as an effort towards doing better in our relationship.” but was disappointed to see Kandi act so petty. Porsha’s adamant that Kandi’s “classless” ( even though she and Phaedra spread a crazy dungeon druggin’ rumor ) and says she’s just as blessed as the Xscape singer. Paras Griffin/Getty Images “I was like, ‘This girl is so petty’, it was just like beyond pathetic, beyond classless, I thought it was ridiculous,” said Porsha. “I wish I hadn’t have gone, I’ll tell you that much,” she said. “When I looked at it, I was like ‘damn, and then plus, I didn’t know that she was giving the invitation begrudgingly, like ‘oh I’mma invite her, so she can see what winning looks like. ‘Baby, you not the only one getting blessed Honey. And I already thought that she thought that she was better than me and better than other people and now I see and that’s not humble, Sweetie. Check your attitude. I know exactly what winning looks like. This is it right here. blessed and highly favored.” So nasty and so rude. See Kandi reveal the real reason why she invited Porsha on the flip.

Just because Kim Zolciak is no longer a full Housewife and doesn't get that huge Real Housewives salary doesn't mean that she can't pull her weight when it comes to drama. Specifically, after it appeared that Kim had claimed that Kandi Burruss tried to hook up with her, the two have been fighting over the truth. In the video below, Kandi is speaking out about her beef with Kim on Watch What Happens Live . Okay, so there's a lot of convoluted she-said-she-said going on, because The Real Housewives of Atlanta wouldn't be the success that it is if it weren't about a bunch of grown, affluent women participating in drama that most of us haven't seen since 7th grade. But it starts with Kim speaking to Sheree and what she says of Kandi Burrsss. “I also know a lot about Kandi. I'm just saying the threesome part with the hubby — the elevator's not going to the top floor if you're willing to share your f–king man.” And then Kim's accusation that Kandi propositioned her: “Let me tell you about Kandi — on my kids' life, if God strikes me dead — I wouldn't let her lick my box.” In other words, Kim appears to be claiming that Kandi wanted to go down on her, but that Kim declined. Kandi was displeased. Kandi took to Twitter to rant about Kim , and the two got into a bit of a social media tiff over it. “I’m sick of these bitches lying on me. @ KimZolciak I have NEVER wanted you or your box. And stop swearing on your kids while you’re telling lies. Lying ass bitch.” And then Kandi reminded Kim Zolciak that Kim is demoted to a part-time Real Housewife . She's a “friend of the housewives,” even though she's not exactly friendly. “Somebody’s really reaching for a permanent peach here… This is my house. You’re just a visitor!” Wow! Angrily, Kim Zolciak hit back, saying: “If anybody is lying it's you Kandi. You and your husband are full on swingers f–king all kinds of girls and can NEVER admit it.” So she's doubling down on her accusations. And she didn't let the reminder of her new, lesser status go unanswered. “And bitch if it weren't for me there would be no house. Remember I built this house!” So, that's already a lot. Well, Kandi is speaking on Watch What Happens Live , which has to be a little awkward, because Andy Cohen is the host but also, ultimately, her boss. “That's some bullcrap. That was a lie.” There's not a lot of ambiguity to that statement. “And then the thing that I really don't like is that she texted me and said that you guys edited her to make her look like she was saying that, and I said, first of all, from what I saw, it looked like you said that, so that's a lie.” As you'll see in the video below, Andy Cohen makes a point of drinking at the time rather than responding to Kim's indirect allegation of misleading editing. Kandi says that she just wants Kim to tell the world that it didn't happen. “If you didn't say that and they edited it, just tell the world. I'm still waiting. I'm still waiting for her to do it.” Maybe Kim wil do as Kandi wishes, but we wouldn't recommend that she hold her breath. Obviously, reality shows engage in all sorts of editing shenanigans. It goes with the territory. Maybe Kim didn't really say that. But it seems clear from Kim Zolciak's tweets that she's at least making some accusations of Kandi. Watch this video to see Kandi's response for yourself:
Source: Jason LaVeris / Getty Tonight’s episode of Real Housewives of Atlanta picks up in San Francisco from when NeNe and Porsha were having a verbal sparring match over dinner. It gets so bad that NeNe makes Porsha cry. You know Nene goes as low as possible, and of course, she brings up the Kandi incident again. Marlo whisks NeNe away and the other women, except for Sheree, follow. Sheree stays behind to comfort Porsha, who really has no other allies in the group at this point. It’s due to Kandi-gate, but also because the other women generally feel like Porsha never owns up to her ish. That point seems true when Porsha starts telling Sheree that she feels like they’re bullying her and that they’re coming at her “for being Porsha.” via GIPHY This isn’t going to get resolved anytime soon. The next day, the group got together to go on an excursion. Porsha shows up, but NeNe decides to channel Cardi B’s line, “If I see you and I don’t speak that mean I don’t f–k with you,” and keeps it moving. Kandi also keeps her distance, as usual. On the bus on the way to their excursion, Kenya gets sad because she’s reminded that she has to leave early to go bury her grandmother. Then Porsha gets emotional and walks away in tears. Porsha claims that she recently lost her uncle and is triggered by Kenya’s loss. She really wishes these group of women did actually support each other. Cynthia follows Porsha and offers some words of comfort. Basically, Cynthia and Sheree seem to think there’s hope that NeNe and Porsha can at least be cool again. The ladies split up and NeNe is with Kenya, Kandi, and Cynthia, spilling tea about Sheree’s #PrisonBae. According to NeNe, the man is a con artist. Not really a shocker given that he’s in jail. via GIPHY Meanwhile, Marlo, who is with Porsha and Sheree, gets the bright idea to set up a surprise wedding for Kenya to cheer her up. Fast forward to the wedding. The gang’s all here, except for Kenya, and they have a cardboard cutout of a man’s shadow, with a question mark on its face. Lordt. via GIPHY All of this sounds like it’s about to be a hot mess, but Kenya actually finds it funny and plays along. The episode winds down with the group at a wine vineyard with some frisky married man flirting with them like he has no sense. The group stomps some grapes and ends up at dinner. It starts off well, with a toast to Kandi for her Essence cover. Kenya has left by this point, so this is the perfect time for them to gossip about her. Basically, Kenya’s marriage situation bothers them because they haven’t met her husband yet. Marlo is the main offender making shady comments, and eventually wanting to play a game where they raise their hands if they really think Kenya is married. Cynthia gets so upset that she walks out because she’s not trying to hear it. NeNe goes to chat with Cynthia, who is off crying. Cynthia just wants them to leave Kenya alone and NeNe talks her off a ledge, and then in a twist of things, makes her realize that she actually also feels some type of way that Kenya is supposed to be her friend, but didn’t invite her to the wedding. So…looks like this season is going to be about everyone constantly harping on Kenya’s mystery man and the wedding they weren’t invited to.

Shortly after she married Jeremy Vuolo , Jinger Duggar relocated with her new husband to Laredo, Texas. Jinger’s the first of the Duggar girls to leave Arkansas, and she’s openly discussed the difficulties of living so far away from her massive family. Fortunately, once they’re married, Duggar women are allowed to use social media , so Jinger is now able to connect with her beloved sisters through technology like the Millennial like that she is: On Friday, Jinger posted the above throwback photo of herself with older sister Jessa Duggar, and predictably, fans couldn’t get enough of it. She tagged the photo simply, “Best friends forever!” Obviously, all of the Duggar siblings are close with one another, but in a family that size, it’s only natural that certain pairs would enjoy special bonds, and it seems Jinger and Jessa have been besties since way back. These days, of course, Jinger’s Instagram page is under a microscope due to rumors that she’s pregnant with Jeremy Vuolo’s baby . Fans have been on the hunt for a Jinger Duggar baby bump pretty much from the time she got married, and many believe it’s plain to see from her recent pics that the 23-year-old is expecting. Even an innocent throwback like her most recent post is enough to prompt speculation. Some fans believe it’s Jinger’s way of remaining active on social media while not posting any recent photos of herself. Others believe Jinger is feeling sentimental and longing for home now that she’s soon to be starting a family of her own. But most are able to appreciate the pic for what it is – a simple expression of sisterly love. “Is that Jinger?!?! Jessa, you haven’t changed a bit!! Y’all are so adorable!” wrote one fan. “You guys look absolutely adorable,” commented another. Yes, “adorable” was the word of the day on Jinger’s Instagram. She may be new to social media, but the girl knows how to give her fans what they want. Well, kind of … What they really want is a pregnancy announcement, but it doesn’t look like she’ll be giving in on that one any time soon. Guess they’ll just have to take what they can get for now. Of course, if you’re one of the many Jinger fans who just can’t get enough of the spunky mom-to-be, you can always watch Counting On online at TV Fanatic.

Gossip and innuendo are par for the course with the Real Housewives franchise, but even then, there’s a line that just cannot be crossed. Phaedra Parks crossed it, and has been fired from The Real Housewives of Atlanta for spreading lies and rumors about her co-stars. According to TMZ, citing sources close to production, Phaedra was let go over a rumor she told Porsha Williams about Kandi Burruss. During the course of this latest season, the story she spread continued to fester, finally boiling over during this past Sunday’s reunion. Now, we know what you’re thinking: Doesn’t Lisa Rinna have a job over on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills by virtue of stirring the pot and talking s–t about everyone? Well allegedly, Phaedra Parks told Porsha Williams that Kandi Burruss and her husband, Todd Tucker, were planning to drug Porsha. Once they did that, their plan – again, this is according to Parks – was to take Porsha home to their place to take advantage of sexually. Watch The Real Housewives of Atlanta Season 9 Episode 24 Online Kandi Burruss got wind of this and threatened Bravo. If they aired that clip, she told them, there would be hell to pay … so they didn’t. However, on Sunday’s finale of The Real Housewives of Atlanta reunion , the “secret” got out, and Phaedra was outed as the source. Bravo felt that Phaedra’s allegations were so far beyond the pale, they simply couldn’t continue working with her – and no longer will be. It all came to a head when a crying Porsha confronted Phaedra about the one-on-one conversations they had conducted about Kandi. “I repeated it ’cause I heard it,” Phaedra said of the rumor, giving pretty much the least credible, convincing or sympathetic reply imaginable. The rest of the cast wasn’t buying it, either. Porsha Williams immediately corrected her: “No, she [Kandi] said it to you, Phaedra.” “You told me she said it to you.” “Something was brought to me, and I repeated it,” Phaedra replied, probably thinking about how fast she could get a flight out of town. With Kandi sobbing and insisting that Phaedra basically accused her of rape, the cast was shocked (Cynthia’s mouth was on the floor). “There’s no tears even coming out your eyes,” Kenya Moore said, feigning indignation over the fact that ANYone could do such a thing. “It’s the Pinocchio Complex,” said Todd Tucker, the implication being that she just lies and lies so much that she can’t even feel feelings . As a stoic Phaedra sat there, she insisted she heard this somewhere, rather than making it up, a story that just didn’t add up. Porsha, who smelled a rat from the get-go here, then let her (now-former) co-star have it with the mother of all comebacks: “You know damn well the day you told me that, two days before I sat with Kandi, you said she told you firsthand!” Williams said. “Then two days ago we talked on the phone,” she continued, and once again, she says, “you told me that she said it firsthand.” “Now, what I’m not gonna do is go back in text messages and reveal that, because we don’t need no motherf–king receipts.” Damn. That’s just cold … albeit deserved. Obviously Bravo agreed, because she’s out. Parks’ children now have a father (Apollo Nida) in prison and a mother who falsely accused two co-stars of plotting a third co-star’s rape. We honestly feel for those poor boys.
