Tensions continued to flare between some of the cast members on part two of the 'Real Housewives of Atlanta' reunion. Phaedra Parks and Kenya Moore continued their battle over who's the phoniest of the group with constant back and forth digs at one another. Phaedra was quick with her witty remarks to the former Miss USA. Kenya accused Phaedra of being "low down and dirty," while Phaedra snapped back Kenya only gets media attention due to her bring up the expecting mother. While their feud is nothing new from part one of the reunion, the segment soon moves to a happier note; the return of Gregg and NeNe.
After close to fifteen years of marriage, fans of the show saw NeNe and Gregg's marriage dissolve before the cameras. Struggling the past season to find a middle ground of decency, the couple somehow found a way back to each other rekindling their relationship and becoming engaged. During the show, NeNe expresses her happiness in her life and the things that may have contributed to the demise of her marriage - including rumors from certain cast mates that may have added unnecessary tension. Among those named was Phaedra.
The most interesting moment of the reunion came soon after when NeNe revealed a bombshell. NeNe has always questioned the authenticity of Phaedra's character. In this episode, the gloves came off and the truth was revealed that Phaedra made a questionable move in hopes to secretly find dirt on her. "You never can win when you are dirty," NeNe snaped at Phaedra revealing that she once met with her estranged half-sisters last season in efforts to obtain usable gossip. Perhaps Kenya's accusations of Phaedra being inauthentic have some truth? Between this and tossing out gossip with Marlo Hampton on NeNe last year, it's quite obvious that Phaedra is not as innocent as she seems.
Former cast mate Kim Zolziak made a return to the couch after quitting the show earlier in the season - surprisingly showing off her real hair! Often missing in action, Kim stood her ground in attempts to explain her absence and excuses to the group. With a baby on the way at the time and one still in diapers, the ladies gave some leeway for her lack of presence (Kandi was not as forgiving), but wished she owned up to not wanting to participate.
The night closed with a bit of a shocker. One would think that Kim and Kandi would have discussed the lawsuit over the song, Don't Be Tardy for the Party, but oddly enough - there was no mention. What was surprising was the pleasant dialog between Kim and NeNe that resulted in a lengthy hug and well wishes for the future. Leaving the door open to the possibility of a friendship, it would appear that the once tight gal pal may have a reprise.
Stay tuned for the third and final installment.
