Previously, on
"The Real Housewives of Potomac"...
A bonito a Miami!
[cheering]
I love it.
- So, we're gonna do M.I.A.
- What's M.I.A?
Don't get
missin' in action, honey,
- 'cause you're in Miami.
- Okay, that's cute.
- [cheering]
- Birthday! Thank you, Mia!
[cheering]
All this horsepower, ooh,
I think I'm gettin' moist.
Oh, God, get me out.
[laughing]
Girl, this whole trip
has been crazy.
Michael's getting
more and more difficult.
I don't know what's going on,
but everything
is a fight with us now.
You telling me
I need to call some guy
and tell him
I'm coming into town.
- I'm not in town for business.
- Wendy.
- Oh!
- Oh!
I wanna share something
with you all.
None of these
bitches are real.
[BLEEP] these hoes.
- What is this?
- It's Candiace.
You said Karen be out
in these streets.
I never said anything
about you dating other men.
This is bullsh**!
Karen!
But this last night...
There were
a lot of shots.
Shots was a verb.
I'm pretty, petty,
and always sittin' on ready.
You may think
you know my story,
but there's always
a plot twist.
When it comes to the truth,
I always arrive on time.
My vocals are clean,
but my reads are for filth.
I may not remember everything,
but you'll never forget me.
I'm a Nigerian queen
with no time for mean.
Just like a three-wick,
I burn slow and never waver.

Season 07 Episode 10
Episode Title: "Cleaning Up the Mess"
Aired on: December 11, 2022.
[♪]
Ooh, Lord, yes!
Thirty minutes. Ommmmm.
Lordy, Lord,
this thing is hot!
[♪]
Hi. What are you doing,
right here?
My sticker is gone!
- What's gone?
- My sticker!
- Your sticker is gone?
- Mm-hmm.
Come on. So, you guys,
we gotta get going.
- Socks or no socks?
- You can put her socks on.
How are you feeling, um,
with work and stuff, baby,
because I'm excited about
The Joint opening?
I jumped out of bed
and was like,
ooh, what's today?
This is actually
very exciting
because Wednesday, May 18th,
we have a live show.
We are gonna have
an amazing time.
Yeah.
You are gonna have
an opportunity
to participate with us.
We have a DJ.
We have special guests.
Yes, guys,
we love y'all so much.
Don't ever forget
to live your life
- either reasonable or shady.
- Or both. Bye.
Bye.
Who knew that
"Reasonably Shady"
would be
blowing the freak up, okay?
We've been, like, nominated
for NAACP Image Award.
We have millions
of downloads,
and so it's nice
to be up-close and personal
with these people.
I cannot wait.
Sometimes you just need
to feel the energy.
- Let's start from the top.
- Okay.
- So, we start with Joe.
- Yeah.
He introduces us.
We come out.
8:35, we're doing the segment,
"Is It Reasonable,
or Is It Shady?"
That's-that's with Juan.
Yes, and it's actually
"Do That Dance."
Okay, so, that's when
we bring up Ashley Darby.
I have a couple things
that I need to order,
um, a timer, um,
and I wanna do wristbands.
I'll just give you...
Oh, for, like, VIP.
- Yeah.
- Love it. All right.
Yay. Okay.
All right.
I will see you ladies later.
Okay.
Thank you, Carly.
- You're welcome.
- All right, thank you.
Uh-huh.
Um, by the way, twins'
birthday party is this week.
They've informed me that
they really don't want me
at their party
because they hate me.
- The end.
- But...
[laughing]
And I have so much going on.
Like, we have a live show
to prepare for.
Gotta go over
the prenup stuff.
- What's up with that?
- Like, I went to the lawyer,
and I brought my laptop,
and my information on the trip.
Yeah.
With intentions
on having a quiet moment.
Oh, quiet moment on the trip?
Oh, that didn't happen.
Yeah, oh, know.
Now, Ashley did say Wendy
was singing a different song
to you at the club.
She was like,
"Robyn, I love you so much.
"I've cried
about our situation."
And I'm like, "Wendy,"
I'm like,
- "Don't do this."
- But girl! Girl!
Like, I'm like,
"This has been going on
- for over a year."
- Yes.
- Well, good luck with that.
- Yeah.
So, I did reach out
to Candiace
and asked her to meet me,
you know, just to,
like, chit-chat
about, you know,
where we are because,
you know, we got into,
like, a screaming match
in the car on the way home
from the club.
I don't give a [BLEEP] about
what y'all think about me!
I don't play ****ing games.
Ing calculated as [BLEEP],
and what you did was...
Oh, my God.
She was upset about
the whole speaker thing.
- She cannot be upset.
- I know. I know.
- What are you mad at?
- I know.
You-you talk about us
on Instagram Live.
- I know.
- Period.
Right.
[♪]
So, this line,
right here, literally...
I don't wanna step on
any deer poop.
It's literally,
like, right here.
So, the tent I think
she was saying would go...
Right. Wants to get it here,
like, right off the step.
And I can see how this
might get in the way.
- How wide is the tent?
- I don't know.
And how far back
does it go? Like...
I don't know.
I just said, "Here, do it."
Your girl is
a dual degreed bitch, okay?
I now have a Master
of Business Administration
from The Howard University.
I am now able to use
a business degree
as I am renegotiating contracts
for new deals
with record labels.
So, I'm going to celebrate
the education
of the Black people,
and I'm really excited.
It's our first
backyard party.
Whoo!
- Right 'cause you're grown.
- Well, I am.
Yep. All right.
So, we've got Karen.
- Karen, yes, Karen.
- Okay.
I am inviting Karen
because it was wrong.
I shouldn't have said it.
She was sneaking outta town,
going to restaurants
with someone
that wasn't Ray.
Yes.
A producer told me
that I said it.
Who else?
So, Robyn texted me.
You know, "I do think
that we need to talk,
"so let me know when."
Okay, I know you like
to hold a grudge.
- I do.
- But I really appreciate her.
- I do.
- Me, too.
Robyn is the person
that I trust the most,
that I look up to.
Thinking about what went down,
I feel horrible.
Okay. All right.
Party is set and ready to go.
Make a little dinner.
Oh, um, I didn't tell you.
I'm waiting on my period.
- What do you mean?
- I don't know where it went.
- Like, is it late?
- You were... in' around.
I'll feel really honored
if I'm that fertile of a myrtle.
I-I... wow.
Are you excited?
Ahh!
Like, why wouldn't I be?
Oh, no! Whoo-hoo!
Hmm. I guess we find out
in the morning.
I guess so.
Voila.
[doorbell rings]
- Hello, Matt.
- Hey.
- [laughing]
- Good to see you.
- Come on in, baby.
- Gorgeous as always.
I got dressed for you.
This is my creative dress.
Are you...
We're gonna be creating.
- I love it.
- You ready?
- Uh, I have one thing to say.
- What?
- May I have a drink, please?
- Oh, yes, champagne?
- [laughing]
- Yes.
I'm gonna let you pop this.
I'll grab it for you.
Okay, great.
I'm so grateful
Matt's here.
[cork popping]
Whoo!
He's very popular,
very successful,
and I've known Matt
since he was 17.
Okay.
Is that why you brought him,
the white guy?
I thought you were
an attorney.
No, I said, "My friend."
- Oh.
- Oh.
He and I together
make magic.
Cheers. Yes.
Here's cheers
to the live show.
Our podcast has, like,
blown the freak up,
so we're gonna do
live shows.
Ahh!
I would say my friendship with
Wendy Williams sparked that.
You're bringing
people together for
the Karen Huger experience.
Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.
It's almost like
a family variety show
on the road,
and we just made it
through the pandemic.
It couldn't be a more
perfect time to create
love, fun, a little,
you know, noshing on food.
It's an evening of fabulous
conversation and cocktails.
We should name it
something like
"An Evening With
the Grande Dame and Friends."
So, I wanna talk about
how it might look.
Right, so, whoever
the musical guest is
- does two or three songs.
- Okay, mm-hmm.
And I thought it would
be cool if you did
a, like, audience
Q and A participation.
That's really important.
We could call that
"Keeping it Karen."
I love that!
Cut to fabulous
drag queen performer.
Yes! You know,
I gotta have my queens.
Cut to you
coming back on stage
in a different look.
Cut to
a Diana Ross moment.
Cut to ball gown,
sequins top to bottom.
Her voice is insane.
[distorted voice]
It can also be flavored
as Pride kickoff.
- Hello!
- Yes.
Now, let's talk about
the elephant in the room.
In this girlfriend
group of mine,
- we quite often...
- Mm-hmm.
...Do the same thing
at the same time.
Thank you.
Let me take a look.
Oh, Wendy.
There will be an
expansion to La Damme.
Yes.
We are installing candles
- and aromatherapy for the home.
- Yes.
Robyn and Gizelle,
they told me
that they were doing
a live show.
Oh, but they have
a podcast, though.
I know.
So, they're taking
the podcast live.
It just, uh, doesn't
seem all that interesting.
And I am
a full experience.
- Uh...
- Yes.
Coming up next...
We did "Chick-ago"
in 24 hours.
Are you saying,
"Chick-ago," like a chicken?
I'm saying it like
the mobsters say it.
- You know, Al Capone.
- You're not a mobster.
- Calm down, sit down.
- Okay, all right.
Okay.
I know, I know,
I know.
[♪]
Here you go.
- Thank you.
- Uh-huh.
So, how are you?
- Tired.
- You tired?
I'm exhausted.
- We did "Chick-ago" in 24 hours.
- "Chick-ago?"
And we did everything.
- Oh, yeah?
- We had a deep dish pizza.
I had a "Chick-ago"
style hot dog.
Are you saying, "Chick-ago?"
Well, how you
supposed to say it?
It ain't...
I've never heard that.
- Is it "Chick-ago?"
- Chicago.
And how am I saying it?
"Chick-ago" like a chicken.
I feel like I'm-I'm saying it
like the mobsters say it.
- You know, Al Capone.
- You're not a mobster.
- Calm down, sit down.
- Okay, all right, okay.
Eddie always says
I say it wrong.
It-it's not Chick-ago.
It's Chicago.
Anyway, after Miami,
I attended
the University of Chicago's
Center for the Study
of Gender and Sexuality,
and I was
their keynote speaker.
We are the generation
that I feel like
we show up as we are, unapologetic.
And I am just
so glad to be home.
Next week is
the ASME event,
graduation for my students,
and my birthday.
You got a full plate.
And I have
my, um, appointment,
my kidney stone doctor.
Oh, sh**, that's next week.
I know he says
they can pass naturally.
Yeah.
But at this point,
just take it out.
I'm tired of
being in pain.
But then, you know,
what's so crazy about it is,
when do I have time
to get surgery?
Right, to do the surgery.
But you gotta
prioritize health
at the top of that list,
you know what I mean?
Are you gonna change that?
Yeah, I am gonna change it.
[♪]
Good afternoon, love.
- How can I help you today?
- Thank you.
Um, I'm meeting
a friend here.
- Thank you, this is perfect.
- Okay.
Hello, I'll get you
started with some water here.
- Thank you so much.
- No problem, no problem.
Can I get a sparkling rose
while I wait?
Of course.
Thank you so much.
I am meeting a girlfriend,
I think at the bar.
At the bar.
- Thank you.
- You're welcome, darling.
- Hi.
- Hi.
- How are you?
- Good. How are you doing?
- I'm okay.
- Yeah.
[sighs]
Um, okay.
How are the people?
Not good.
- It's hard.
- I know, I know, I'm sorry.
I know, I know, I know.
So, my dear friend
and hair stylist,
who has been doing my hair
for over 16 years...
We're gonna do a trim.
Yes, please.
And you don't wanna trim
too much off the front,
- right?
- Uh-uh.
She just recently lost
her sister and brother-in-law
in a tragic car accident.
And, um, coming here today
is really hard.
It's just hard to see
my friends in so much pain.
- Yeah.
- And just knowing
that this is going to take
a long time for them to...
Yeah.
I mean, they'll
never get over it,
- but...
- Yeah, yeah.
Sorry.
- I'm sorry.
- Robyn, it's okay.
Yeah, thank you.
Life is so short.
It's important to me
to squash any type
of stupid drama
with people
that I care about.
[sighs]
Okay.
Um, hello, there.
- How you doing?
- How are you? Good.
I would love a glass
of rose, as well.
One of those, as well.
Thank you.
Um, I know that's
been, like, consuming,
but I'm-I'm glad that we're
getting a chance to talk.
What you've said
in your text,
yes, I feel like
I-I don't like where we are.
I consider you
like a little sister.
Robyn, you're, like,
the only person in this group...
Like...
I needed to get
that out, yes.
Yeah.
I don't understand why
you could not have
just talked to me
if you felt like I was
directing my message to you.
So, who exactly are
you talking about
'cause I feel like
I do remember you,
like, questioning
my loyalty as a friend?
None of these bitches
are real.
They're all fake.
No one is loyal.
- Yeah.
- And I do wanna point out,
like, with the whole
Chris and Gizelle thing,
- like, I have been telling Gizelle...
- Yeah.
That I don't
look at it the same way
that she looks at it.
And so, I just feel like,
in this situation with us,
what you were saying
on Instagram was wrong.
Mm-hmm.
I understand where
you were coming from,
and I don't think
that you are
a fake bitch.
I mean, in the future,
just be a little more specific.
That's fair.
I just want to move on
- because...
- I know.
Like, there's too much
other stuff going on,
- obviously.
- Right.
[♪]
Coming up next...
I'm really scared to...
be on my own.
[♪]
Hi!
[laughing]
- Hi, gorgeous.
- Hi.
- How are you, baby?
- You look fabulous.
- Good, good, good.
- I miss you.
Y'all did it.
Hi, Aaron.
- Good. How you doin', honey?
- Good seeing you. Good.
- How you feeling?
- Come on, Aaron. Come on.
Good?
Okay, come on in.
Hi, hello.
How are you?
Gordon and I
started developing
The Joint Chiropractic
in 2013.
This is Dr. Lee.
He's actually gonna be
doing your adjustments.
- Hi.
- Good afternoon.
- [bones cracking]
- Ooh!
So, we currently
have 14 Joint offices
over four different states
that we own and operate,
and then there
are 8 locations
that we just
collect royalties on
and make sure everybody
is doing their job right.
I make $450,000.
Sorry for telling you guys.
Mia.
But this particular
location is my baby.
- I'm Mia.
- Hi. Danielle.
- And this is Jeremiah.
- Hi.
- He's our miniature CEO.
- He runs things around here.
Is that right?
And I think it's more so
just because I'm from D.C.,
and I feel like it's only right
for me to bring
affordable chiropractic
back to our community.
I want the ribbon to
come across, like, here.
Okay.
So, do... have we
seen the scissors?
- No.
- Stop it. Really?
Okay, I haven't
seen these scissors.
- Okay, let's get with Dawn.
- Okay.
- And make sure we have 'em.
- And I'll-I'll locate those.
- Got it.
- Thank you, baby.
- Cheers to we... in' did it.
- Yeah.
Well, it feels great
to be a part of D.C. now.
- Don't you love this area?
- What's not to love?
It's not just all our cash.
We do bring on
personal and friends.
Since we did have
a business deal
that did fall through...
How are you feeling about
the deal that didn't go so well?
Well, it's a lot of things
riding on it, yeah,
but you know what?
There'll be more deals.
This particular location
has got to work.
I'm not sure.
I-I'm tired of lawyers,
right now,
so I don't wanna
talk about anything.
[laughing]
- Hi!
- Mia! Hi, baby.
I was like I know
this baby blue.
- Aww, congratulations.
- Aww, thank you for coming.
- Don't make me cry.
- This is everything.
- Thank you.
- Oh, I love it.
This is the first
location in DC.
Yes. Hi.
How are you?
It's a no-brainer for me
to show up for Mia.
I don't throw
my friendships away.
I take them seriously.
That's how I roll, okay?
- Hi, baby.
- Hi. Oh, my goodness.
- Oh, my God. Look at that.
- You look amazing.
- I love this.
- Thank you for being here.
[♪]
I was looking forward to
seeing mom.
Everything okay with mommy?
Oh, yeah, no.
She-she didn't make it.
- Oh, okay.
- I know.
Yeah.
I'm okay.
You need me to...
I'll-I'll reach out to you.
- Thank you.
- No, no, this is your moment.
Enjoy. I'm sorry I asked
the question, right now.
Yeah, no, it's okay.
Thank you.
- All right, baby.
- Thank you for being here.
Aww.
Hello, everyone.
- Hi.
- Hi.
Good morning and welcome to
The Joint Chiropractic
Cathedral Commons
grand opening.
For those who don't know,
my name is Mia Thornton.
I am the Regional Developer
and Multi-Clinic Owner
for The Joint Chiropractic
over four different regions,
but today makes five.
[cheers and applause]
- All: Go, DC!
- Uh-oh.
Here we go. Here we go.
[cheers and applause]
[♪]
Okay, we're here, Dilly-Willy.
We're here, poo-poo.
Hey.
[grunts]
You good?
You need some help?
Want me to carry him?
You're good?
Yeah, I'm okay.
- Oh, this is so nice.
- All right.
Yeah, you know,
let's sit down, you know.
- Hi, auntie.
- How are you?
- Good.
- How is my baby?
- Which one, me or this one?
- Both.
- Oh, we're good.
- Oh, he's asleep.
[sighs]
Yeah, he's sleeping. Yeah.
Can I get you something
to drink? Corona?
- Yes, please.
- Okay.
Both of my kids
were supposed to come.
Right, right.
And then Michael is like,
"I wanna spend time with Dean."
You know, he just got back
from, um, Vegas.
And I said, "That's fine.
Like, you can do it
when we come back."
And he was like,
"No, you just take Dylan,
and I'm gonna keep Dean."
He started yelling.
"You never plan
anything properly."
It just became a whole
screaming match, right?
And Dean starts...
Dean has been saying,
- "Stop," when we're yelling.
- Oh, not good.
- Thank you.
- Mmm.
So, yeah, I just
grabbed Dylan, and we left.
And that's really bad
when your little child
is coming in between you all
and saying stop.
- Mm-hmm.
- Yeah.
I'm not arguing anymore.
It's so stressful for me.
- Yeah.
- Mm-hmm.
You-you've really gotta
separate, and, you know,
you have the children together.
You've gotta think of
your boys and yourself.
Yes.
Hey, big boy.
- Hi.
- Look who it is.
I don't know how I'm gonna feel
living in a house
with two young kids by myself.
It just doesn't feel like
it's the most important thing
for me to do,
at this moment,
for me and the kids.
I am really scared
to do this by myself,
and I'm really scared to be,
like, on my own.
You're never on
your own, Ashley.
I know I'm not,
auntie, but I am.
Like, ultimately, I have to...
I'm gonna be responsible
for so much,
including the well-being
of these two kids, you know.
- Mm-hmm.
- And I'm really scared.
- Ashley, you have us.
- I know.
We're there 100%.
You have tons of family
who are there for you
- and who love you.
- I know, auntie.
To me, you're a
fantastic mother.
Being separated from Michael
isn't gonna change who you are
as a person.
Just believe in yourself.
You have to believe
in yourself, Ashley.
- It's so hard.
- I know.
You are a strong woman.
She's gotta believe in
what she's got around her,
outside of Michael.
[sighs]
Coming up next...
Uh, number one, we are
just so proud of our daughters
and thankful for, uh,
not having to have us
bail you outta jail.
[laughing]
[♪]
- Hi.
- Hello.
- Where are you?
- I am here.
Okay. Let me just
walk over there, okay?
Okay, yes,
you'll see my car.
- Hi. You look nice.
- Thank you.
- Muah.
- Muah.
I got really tired
on the plane.
- You went to sleep?
- Yes, I did,
and then the flight
was really bumpy.
Oh, that's the devil.
My mom and I have not always had
the greatest relationship.
We got into a very big argument
that became physical.
You are the narcissist.
You're the brat.
You're the little princess.
You're the diva.
That's you.
I held on to what I thought
our relationship
should be forever.
I have learned to let
what she says roll off my back,
and it was easier said
than done.
- I know it is.
- It was raining when we left.
It's been rainy
all week here.
- Mm-hmm.
- Oh!
My period was supposed to
have started, like,
- several days ago.
- Mm-hmm.
- And it hasn't started.
- Oh, so, you may be pregnant?
A baby, ooh.
[laughing]
Oh, my God.
Maybe y'all will calm down
and stop cursing.
No, we're gonna curse.
Stop using
the F-word so much.
- No.
- Really?
- Yes.
- You have to.
- No.
- Yes.
Children can hear curse words
and know that
- they are not to use them.
- Uh-uh. I don't see how.
[♪]
Oh, my God.
[laughing]
- Look at baby. Hi.
- Hi, Kal.
Oh, my gosh.
Like, where is
this on you?
What do you guys think?
- It's so big.
- It's so pretty.
You love it?
- Yes.
- Yes.
You do?
Yes.
Thank you, mom.
Really?
- Yes.
- What do you mean, really?
- Okay, good.
- So pretty.
Candy table over there.
We'll put gifts over here
when people come in,
if they bring gifts.
The other room is for
me and my girlfriends.
- And Kal.
- Yeah.
Always and... always
and Kal, right?
Yes.
So, I'll be in the other room.
- Bye.
- I love you guys.
- We love you, too.
- Happy sweet 16.
- Thanks, mom.
- Thanks, mom.
[laughing]
I do remember 16 years ago,
they were both eight pounds.
Those babies were humongous.
Okay, shut it down.
[laughing]
Oh, God, Gracie.
- Hey, you.
- Hi.
- You look so pretty.
- Thank you.
- Are y'all gonna behave?
- Yes.
- You look beautiful.
- Like always.
- Naturally.
- All right. Have at it.
Okay.
- Oh, baby.
- I miss you. I miss you.
- How are you?
- Good.
- You look beautiful.
- You wanna sit in here?
- Wherever you need me.
- Okay, come on in.
Hi, dad.
Since he's here now,
can we take some pictures,
and then we can get out?
- Yeah, let's do that.
- Okay.
We've had our ups and downs,
our highs and lows,
but Jamal is right there,
present and accounted for.
All right.
Do y'all thing.
[♪]
- Well, hello.
- Hey, wow!
- Yum-yum-yum.
- How are you?
I am fantastic.
You look amazing.
Wow, I mean, you're
glistening, gleaming.
- Am I? Yah-yah.
- Yes.
- You guys are matching.
- This is McKenzie.
- McKenzie, this is Ashley.
- Hi. Nice to meet you.
Hi. Nice to meet you.
- Where do I sit, babe?
- Sit here.
- Okay.
- Hey, lady.
- Hi. How are you?
- Hi.
- [laughing]
- Why are you crazy?
- Hi.
- How are you?
This is McKenzie.
McKenzie, this is Charrisse.
- Hi, Charrisse.
- Hi, McKenzie.
- Nice to meet you.
- You're beautiful.
Damn, girl.
- This is Crystal and Chris.
- Hi. How are you?
- Robyn Dixon!
- Robyn!
- Hi.
- Hey, girl.
- Oh, I like this.
- Thank you.
Very cute.
Sorry I'm late.
Where do I go?
Your kids will be in college
before you know it.
What's the saying?
The days are long,
but the years are short.
Yeah.
I don't know if everybody
has met Jamal Bryant.
- Hello. How are you?
- Hi, Jamal.
- Nice to see you.
- This is my baby daddy.
[laughing]
- Babies daddy. Babies daddy.
- How is it going?
- How are you? Long time.
- Oh, it's so nice to see you.
Yes.
My girls said I can
give a little speech,
- so I'm gonna do and do that.
- Aww.
You're gonna do great.
Kill it.
You are.
Ting-ting-ting.
So, we're Angel
and Adore's parents.
We just wanted to say
a couple words.
We're not gonna
embarrass them.
I'll let dad go first.
Okay.
Um, number one,
thank you all for coming
and being such, uh,
great friends to our daughters.
Uh, we are just so
overwhelmingly proud of them.
Thank you for, uh, not having
to have us bail you outta jail
or get out of any trouble.
[laughing]
But you all have been...
They've been great.
- Jail?
- Yeah.
- Okay, but jail. Okay.
- Thank...
You all have caused us
zero problems 16 years.
- Yes, yes.
- And for that, we're grateful.
Yes.
Um, the two of you
are what I wish I was
when I was 16.
And I'm not,
because I wasn't
as confident.
I wasn't as strong.
And you guys are
killing the game.
So, love you guys.
[applause]
Angel and Adore
are my heart and soul.
They remind me
that there are
beautiful, special,
sweet people out there
that want everyone to win
and want everybody to be happy.
They are absolutely amazing.
♪ Happy birthday
♪ Happy birth...
[cheers and applause]
- Woot-woot-woot-woot.
- Okay.
All right.
We're gonna cut
the cake and pass it out.
Coming up next...
- Where is the wedding, Robyn?
- Um...
- Uh-oh.
- Oh, she...
- [laughing]
- Ooh!
It's a private ceremony,
just the four of us.
Now, you're having
an intimate wedding
with no guests.
Okay.
[♪]
I'm glad
you're excited.
I'm still busy.
I have lots to do.
I gotta finish cooking.
This is my happy dance
'cause I'm so excited.
Ahh! We're having a party.
I'm excited to just
celebrate where I am.
I'm going to look
at the tent.
Where is the chef?
Hey, honey, give me
a piece of cake, okay?
Ahh!
- Oh, my God!
- There's a...
It's a brown snake.
- Candiace...
- What?
I thought Gizelle
wasn't coming.
There she is.
[laughing]
There she is.
She came anyway.
Ahh!
[♪]
- Hi.
- Hi.
Oh, look at the flowers.
- Hi.
- Hi.
You look so pretty.
- Hi.
- Hi. How are you?
You know,
I'm always on time, huh?
- I mean, it's okay.
- Yes.
I am, too.
[laughing]
- Well, you don't look ready.
- Candiace...
Candiace tells me
it's 'cause I'm white.
- Hello?
- I knew it.
- Here we go, baby.
- Oh, my Lord.
I'm gonna put you... I'm gonna
let you go in first, though.
- How is that?
- Oh, Lord, Ray.
You all right?
Oh, there's Karen.
How are you?
- Hi. How are you?
- I'm good. Muah.
- Good to see ya again. Muah.
- Good to see you.
All: Whoo!
Okay, girl.
- Hello.
- Hello.
Wait. Hold-hold on.
Hold it. Wait a minute.
I thought this was, like,
a picnic or something
- or a backyard barbecue.
- This is my picnic attire.
That's your
picnic attire. Okay.
- Ray, have you met my wife?
- Huh?
Extra is the name
of the game.
This is how you do
a picnic. Yes.
Chris and my mom are fine.
Chris wants peace
because he loves her daughter.
She did give him an apology
the best way that she knew how.
Have you apologized to
your son-in-law's face?
You think he
is owed that?
Uh, I guess.
Yes, that's fine.
- I guess.
- That's fine.
And that's...
That has to be enough.
- Robyn!
- Hi.
- Oh, you look so cute.
- Hi. You, too.
- Congratulations.
- Thank you.
[indistinct chatter]
Now, I'm ready to party.
- Yes.
- Candiace, pop the bottle.
Hi. How are you?
Is it just
those two coolers?
- Hi.
- Hi.
- Look at the twins.
- How are you?
- Hi. Skylar!
- Hi.
I know. I know you like her
more than you like me.
- It's okay. It's all right.
- She's just so cute.
[laughing]
Charrisse is here, everyone.
Come on, two degrees!
Two degrees, yes!
- Hey, Eddie, how you doin'?
- You look so pretty.
- How are you?
- Good to see you, too.
Good to see you, too.
Congratulations to you, too.
Thank you.
I'm here for all
the degrees, honey.
Two degrees!
I mean, it's not four,
but it's two.
We love it.
- Hi, Karen.
- Baby.
Aww.
- Okay, save it. Save it.
- Aww.
Is that...
That's beef, isn't it?
Yeah, yeah, yeah,
a little bit of London broil.
Ahh!
- How are you?
- Congratulations.
Oh, not... you got...
It's a matching family.
I can't.
This is what
I aspire to be.
I took a pregnancy test
this morning,
and it was negative.
So, in the moment,
I was...
I was disappointed.
I was sad,
but now we can
go back to our plan
and finish our egg
retrieval process.
Ava.
Ava, say,
"Hi, Auntie Can die."
Hi, gorgeous.
Girl, I'm so hot.
This food has made me hot.
Robyn, you know, Ray and I
have a lot of free time
on our hands.
- Do you?
- When is the wedding, Robyn?
Um...
- Uh-oh.
- Uh-oh.
- Oh, she's...
- Oh!
Well, okay, no, I've been
waiting for a wedding.
She's gettin' hot.
Oh, look at her.
She's gettin' hot
all of a sudden.
- No, I'm already hot.
- Seriously,
what is up with it?
We got the wedding dress?
- We got the venue?
- We're working on our plans.
- Working on the plan?
- Mm-hmm.
It's a private ceremony,
just the four of us.
- Really?
- Mm-hmm.
- So, we're not invited.
- Nope.
Now, you're having
an intimate wedding
with no guests.
Okay.
I'm gonna go
and get a...
A little different
kinda drink here.
Just say, "Listen,
this ain't for me and Juan.
"We're not gonna get married.
"We like shacking or doing it
like we're doing it.
"It's none of y'all business."
And I would mind my business,
but you make it
my business.
- Hey, ladies.
- Hey, Wendy.
- Hey. Hi.
- Hi.
Well, girls, look,
I got to find my man.
- Okay.
- I will, uh, leave you all.
Okay.
- Hey, Robyn.
- Hi.
- How are you doing?
- I'm good.
Last time I saw you, we had
a good drunk conversation.
Very drunk.
So, I'm-I'm just checking in
because I feel like sometimes
people say a drunk mind
speaks a sober heart.
- Mm-hmm.
- And what I said to you,
is how I felt.
I was hurt by things you did,
but most importantly for me,
is like I told you.
I miss our friendship,
- and I miss you.
- Right.
I mean, you know, I, um,
I've had time to think about it,
and my main question was,
why are you comfortable
having that conversation
when there was, you know,
no one from the group around,
where it didn't seem like
you had to win a debate?
It wasn't met with
the same contention
that I've been met with
from you in the past year.
I wanna know what
you're receiving
as them talking
about your husband.
You don't even
have a relationship
to even care about.
So, for me, it's like,
which is it?
I don't know.
I really don't.
[♪]
My main question was,
why are you comfortable
having that conversation
when there was, you know,
no one from the group around,
where it didn't seem like
you had to win a debate
or win a conversation?
So, for me,
it's like, which is it?
I don't know.
I really don't.
No, I think
it's a valid question,
and, like, I sat down,
and I-I had liquid courage,
and I was like I'm gonna
tell you how I feel,
but, in that moment,
I just didn't want
what we had
to completely be gone.
Right, and...
And I appreciate that.
- Well, here I am.
- Yeah.
- Coming to you twice...
- Right.
- So you know it's genuine.
- Okay.
And I am saying to you
I'm sorry that I hurt you.
Yeah.
And I valued our
relationship enough
- to come to make it right.
- I appreciate that.
So, I don't know
if there's something
that you still want me
to acknowledge.
Uh, yeah. Are you
gonna say you're sorry?
For what?
Are you gonna say you're sorry
that you hurt my feelings?
But I have said
that already.
Okay, can you
say it again?
And so, I'm sorry.
- [gasps]
- Oh!
Oh, you apologized
to me!
Aww.
I'm surprised that
she actually took ownership
for her part
that caused
the dissolution
of our friendship.
[laughing]
Like, I'll take
this Wendy,
this one-on-one Wendy,
any day.
Where is everybody?
It's hot.
You dancing?
Let's go.
Baby, you gotta
look at the camera.
[laughing]
- Miss Candiace.
- We have to have a chat.
Can I get a brewski while
I have a moment with Candiace?
- Oh, okay, I'll find one.
- Yes, let me get my drink.
Okay, I'll give you this. Yeah.
- Hey, how are you?
- How are you?
- I'm good.
- How you feeling?
- It's so good to see you.
- It's so good to see you, too.
- I'm good.
- Y'all been all right?
- We've been good.
- Okay.
Yeah.
Yes, I will.
I know. I might go
over there today.
- Okay. Is she doing okay?
- Eh.
Just taking it
day by day for sure.
Yeah, day by day. Yeah.
All right. So, okay.
So, we have to talk
because remember we were at
that last dinner in Miami.
- Yes.
- And Ashley told you
- that I said that you were...
- In these streets.
She was sneaking outta town,
going to restaurants
with someone
that wasn't Ray.
I did not remember saying it,
and that's why I was
- vehemently denying it.
- Girl, I have had my...
I was being messy
and drunk
with a demon.
People used to tell me
so much stuff
about Karen and Ray.
Oh, my God!
My bad.
I love you and Ray.
- Ooh, I know you do.
- Y'all are in...
Y'all are in these streets together.
But that...
We are, hustling.
Yes, uh, we see that.
But let me say this.
That means a lot to me
- because we had made progress.
- Yes, we have.
- And I... and I don't...
- Albeit very slow progress.
Right, but I don't
want the progress
to be put to the side.
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
I was like, you didn't hurt me
like that, did you?
- Did you see...
- No.
I mean,
when you own your sh**,
I'm okay with you,
and this is
not enough to end it,
but I'm-I'm watching you.
Miss Ashley, was
she lit that night?
- We-we both were. Yeah.
- Oh, so-so,
- she was being shady, too.
- Yes, she was.
'Cause I've grown
with Ashley, too.
How are you
with Ashley?
- We're not.
- Okay. God is good.
- Our group is disjointed.
- It really is.
And as much as I don't
care for certain individuals,
I don't like that
we're not all together.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- So, this or that.
'Cause her and Candiace
aren't on the same page. So...
Yes. The way
I saw it was like,
it didn't have necessarily
anything to do with Candiace.
It was just you and her
that had the thing.
I was just trying to help
Gizelle understand
how Candiace communicates
so that they might
communicate better.
- Right.
- At the end of the day,
- your feelings are your feelings.
- Bam, yeah.
And if she was uncomfortable,
she was uncomfortable,
but it wasn't because of
anything I did. So...
Hmm. What about you
taking the higher level
and apologize to her
'cause it was
a misunderstanding?
Apologize for what, Ray?
I didn't do anything.
She misunderstood your
intentions, apparently.
- That-that's a...
- But there was no intentions.
I know.
I still feel like
I'm admitting
to some-something
that I did wrong,
and I stand by the fact that
I did absolutely nothing wrong.
- Well, let me go back over here...
- That's funny.
- And see how Candiace...
- Yeah, all right.
- Is doing, Ray.
- That's good. Yeah, go ahead.
Good chatting with you
for a second.
And let's say
they do meet,
and they do talk.
We don't know what else
Gizelle is gonna say
because who the hell knew
she was gonna say this?
Can I get everyone's
attention, please?
I just wanted to thank
everyone for coming.
Hi.
- Oh, my God, there's too many
- ing people in here.
Um, this is a really
momentous occasion
for my family.
We're celebrating
my MBA,
and I have to thank my mom
for being my example.
So, I wanna thank you
personally, Mom, for...
Aww.
[applause]
For being
that example for me.
I'm really, really,
really proud of you.
Thank you, mom.
You know,
you've worked so hard.
- Get it from you.
- Yes, you did.
- You have set the example.
- Yes, yes, yes.
It's a wonderful feeling
to look around a room
and see all
of your blessings.
It reminds me
what I'm capable of.
Regardless of whom
may come
and attempt
to create contention,
what God has for you,
no man can take.
- To magical Blackness.
- Yes!
To living your best lives
and celebrating yourself.
[cheering]
Come on, get this!
I feel like it.
[laughing]
Oh, man.
Next time,
on "The Real Housewives
of Potomac"...
Mia did talk
about the fact
that she allowed Jacqueline
to have sex with
one of her boyfriends,
and Mia wanted
to watch.
So, I was like, is this
happening currently?
Oh, whoa!
[laughing]
What are you doing,
Candiace?
- I'm trying to do a crunch.
- M'kay.
[sighs]
I am incredibly nervous
to shoot my music video
with Trina.
Oh, God, ow.
Okay, that's good.
Welcome to
"Reasonably Shady!"
[applause]
[laughing]
Now, you know this part
of the show is boring.
I wanted to talk
to you about the prenup.
The question
was posed, like,
do you put
an infidelity clause?
We know that Gordon
likes other women.
So, you never said,
"Pick me?"
- You'll have to ask Mia that.
- I'm asking you.
Somethin' strange
about this.
It wasn't Gordon that
bought you the car?
Are you trying to say
he's my sug...
- I'm a sidepiece now?
- Why?
You want a Porsche, too?
You think
there's more to it?
[♪]
"The Real Housewives of Potomac"...
A bonito a Miami!
[cheering]
I love it.
- So, we're gonna do M.I.A.
- What's M.I.A?
Don't get
missin' in action, honey,
- 'cause you're in Miami.
- Okay, that's cute.
- [cheering]
- Birthday! Thank you, Mia!
[cheering]
All this horsepower, ooh,
I think I'm gettin' moist.
Oh, God, get me out.
[laughing]
Girl, this whole trip
has been crazy.
Michael's getting
more and more difficult.
I don't know what's going on,
but everything
is a fight with us now.
You telling me
I need to call some guy
and tell him
I'm coming into town.
- I'm not in town for business.
- Wendy.
- Oh!
- Oh!
I wanna share something
with you all.
None of these
bitches are real.
[BLEEP] these hoes.
- What is this?
- It's Candiace.
You said Karen be out
in these streets.
I never said anything
about you dating other men.
This is bullsh**!
Karen!
But this last night...
There were
a lot of shots.
Shots was a verb.
I'm pretty, petty,
and always sittin' on ready.
You may think
you know my story,
but there's always
a plot twist.
When it comes to the truth,
I always arrive on time.
My vocals are clean,
but my reads are for filth.
I may not remember everything,
but you'll never forget me.
I'm a Nigerian queen
with no time for mean.
Just like a three-wick,
I burn slow and never waver.
*THE REAL HOUSEWIVES OF POTOMAC*
Season 07 Episode 10
Episode Title: "Cleaning Up the Mess"
Aired on: December 11, 2022.
[♪]
Ooh, Lord, yes!
Thirty minutes. Ommmmm.
Lordy, Lord,
this thing is hot!
[♪]
Hi. What are you doing,
right here?
My sticker is gone!
- What's gone?
- My sticker!
- Your sticker is gone?
- Mm-hmm.
Come on. So, you guys,
we gotta get going.
- Socks or no socks?
- You can put her socks on.
How are you feeling, um,
with work and stuff, baby,
because I'm excited about
The Joint opening?
I jumped out of bed
and was like,
ooh, what's today?
This is actually
very exciting
because Wednesday, May 18th,
we have a live show.
We are gonna have
an amazing time.
Yeah.
You are gonna have
an opportunity
to participate with us.
We have a DJ.
We have special guests.
Yes, guys,
we love y'all so much.
Don't ever forget
to live your life
- either reasonable or shady.
- Or both. Bye.
Bye.
Who knew that
"Reasonably Shady"
would be
blowing the freak up, okay?
We've been, like, nominated
for NAACP Image Award.
We have millions
of downloads,
and so it's nice
to be up-close and personal
with these people.
I cannot wait.
Sometimes you just need
to feel the energy.
- Let's start from the top.
- Okay.
- So, we start with Joe.
- Yeah.
He introduces us.
We come out.
8:35, we're doing the segment,
"Is It Reasonable,
or Is It Shady?"
That's-that's with Juan.
Yes, and it's actually
"Do That Dance."
Okay, so, that's when
we bring up Ashley Darby.
I have a couple things
that I need to order,
um, a timer, um,
and I wanna do wristbands.
I'll just give you...
Oh, for, like, VIP.
- Yeah.
- Love it. All right.
Yay. Okay.
All right.
I will see you ladies later.
Okay.
Thank you, Carly.
- You're welcome.
- All right, thank you.
Uh-huh.
Um, by the way, twins'
birthday party is this week.
They've informed me that
they really don't want me
at their party
because they hate me.
- The end.
- But...
[laughing]
And I have so much going on.
Like, we have a live show
to prepare for.
Gotta go over
the prenup stuff.
- What's up with that?
- Like, I went to the lawyer,
and I brought my laptop,
and my information on the trip.
Yeah.
With intentions
on having a quiet moment.
Oh, quiet moment on the trip?
Oh, that didn't happen.
Yeah, oh, know.
Now, Ashley did say Wendy
was singing a different song
to you at the club.
She was like,
"Robyn, I love you so much.
"I've cried
about our situation."
And I'm like, "Wendy,"
I'm like,
- "Don't do this."
- But girl! Girl!
Like, I'm like,
"This has been going on
- for over a year."
- Yes.
- Well, good luck with that.
- Yeah.
So, I did reach out
to Candiace
and asked her to meet me,
you know, just to,
like, chit-chat
about, you know,
where we are because,
you know, we got into,
like, a screaming match
in the car on the way home
from the club.
I don't give a [BLEEP] about
what y'all think about me!
I don't play ****ing games.
Ing calculated as [BLEEP],
and what you did was...
Oh, my God.
She was upset about
the whole speaker thing.
- She cannot be upset.
- I know. I know.
- What are you mad at?
- I know.
You-you talk about us
on Instagram Live.
- I know.
- Period.
Right.
[♪]
So, this line,
right here, literally...
I don't wanna step on
any deer poop.
It's literally,
like, right here.
So, the tent I think
she was saying would go...
Right. Wants to get it here,
like, right off the step.
And I can see how this
might get in the way.
- How wide is the tent?
- I don't know.
And how far back
does it go? Like...
I don't know.
I just said, "Here, do it."
Your girl is
a dual degreed bitch, okay?
I now have a Master
of Business Administration
from The Howard University.
I am now able to use
a business degree
as I am renegotiating contracts
for new deals
with record labels.
So, I'm going to celebrate
the education
of the Black people,
and I'm really excited.
It's our first
backyard party.
Whoo!
- Right 'cause you're grown.
- Well, I am.
Yep. All right.
So, we've got Karen.
- Karen, yes, Karen.
- Okay.
I am inviting Karen
because it was wrong.
I shouldn't have said it.
She was sneaking outta town,
going to restaurants
with someone
that wasn't Ray.
Yes.
A producer told me
that I said it.
Who else?
So, Robyn texted me.
You know, "I do think
that we need to talk,
"so let me know when."
Okay, I know you like
to hold a grudge.
- I do.
- But I really appreciate her.
- I do.
- Me, too.
Robyn is the person
that I trust the most,
that I look up to.
Thinking about what went down,
I feel horrible.
Okay. All right.
Party is set and ready to go.
Make a little dinner.
Oh, um, I didn't tell you.
I'm waiting on my period.
- What do you mean?
- I don't know where it went.
- Like, is it late?
- You were... in' around.
I'll feel really honored
if I'm that fertile of a myrtle.
I-I... wow.
Are you excited?
Ahh!
Like, why wouldn't I be?
Oh, no! Whoo-hoo!
Hmm. I guess we find out
in the morning.
I guess so.
Voila.
[doorbell rings]
- Hello, Matt.
- Hey.
- [laughing]
- Good to see you.
- Come on in, baby.
- Gorgeous as always.
I got dressed for you.
This is my creative dress.
Are you...
We're gonna be creating.
- I love it.
- You ready?
- Uh, I have one thing to say.
- What?
- May I have a drink, please?
- Oh, yes, champagne?
- [laughing]
- Yes.
I'm gonna let you pop this.
I'll grab it for you.
Okay, great.
I'm so grateful
Matt's here.
[cork popping]
Whoo!
He's very popular,
very successful,
and I've known Matt
since he was 17.
Okay.
Is that why you brought him,
the white guy?
I thought you were
an attorney.
No, I said, "My friend."
- Oh.
- Oh.
He and I together
make magic.
Cheers. Yes.
Here's cheers
to the live show.
Our podcast has, like,
blown the freak up,
so we're gonna do
live shows.
Ahh!
I would say my friendship with
Wendy Williams sparked that.
You're bringing
people together for
the Karen Huger experience.
Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.
It's almost like
a family variety show
on the road,
and we just made it
through the pandemic.
It couldn't be a more
perfect time to create
love, fun, a little,
you know, noshing on food.
It's an evening of fabulous
conversation and cocktails.
We should name it
something like
"An Evening With
the Grande Dame and Friends."
So, I wanna talk about
how it might look.
Right, so, whoever
the musical guest is
- does two or three songs.
- Okay, mm-hmm.
And I thought it would
be cool if you did
a, like, audience
Q and A participation.
That's really important.
We could call that
"Keeping it Karen."
I love that!
Cut to fabulous
drag queen performer.
Yes! You know,
I gotta have my queens.
Cut to you
coming back on stage
in a different look.
Cut to
a Diana Ross moment.
Cut to ball gown,
sequins top to bottom.
Her voice is insane.
[distorted voice]
It can also be flavored
as Pride kickoff.
- Hello!
- Yes.
Now, let's talk about
the elephant in the room.
In this girlfriend
group of mine,
- we quite often...
- Mm-hmm.
...Do the same thing
at the same time.
Thank you.
Let me take a look.
Oh, Wendy.
There will be an
expansion to La Damme.
Yes.
We are installing candles
- and aromatherapy for the home.
- Yes.
Robyn and Gizelle,
they told me
that they were doing
a live show.
Oh, but they have
a podcast, though.
I know.
So, they're taking
the podcast live.
It just, uh, doesn't
seem all that interesting.
And I am
a full experience.
- Uh...
- Yes.
Coming up next...
We did "Chick-ago"
in 24 hours.
Are you saying,
"Chick-ago," like a chicken?
I'm saying it like
the mobsters say it.
- You know, Al Capone.
- You're not a mobster.
- Calm down, sit down.
- Okay, all right.
Okay.
I know, I know,
I know.
[♪]
Here you go.
- Thank you.
- Uh-huh.
So, how are you?
- Tired.
- You tired?
I'm exhausted.
- We did "Chick-ago" in 24 hours.
- "Chick-ago?"
And we did everything.
- Oh, yeah?
- We had a deep dish pizza.
I had a "Chick-ago"
style hot dog.
Are you saying, "Chick-ago?"
Well, how you
supposed to say it?
It ain't...
I've never heard that.
- Is it "Chick-ago?"
- Chicago.
And how am I saying it?
"Chick-ago" like a chicken.
I feel like I'm-I'm saying it
like the mobsters say it.
- You know, Al Capone.
- You're not a mobster.
- Calm down, sit down.
- Okay, all right, okay.
Eddie always says
I say it wrong.
It-it's not Chick-ago.
It's Chicago.
Anyway, after Miami,
I attended
the University of Chicago's
Center for the Study
of Gender and Sexuality,
and I was
their keynote speaker.
We are the generation
that I feel like
we show up as we are, unapologetic.
And I am just
so glad to be home.
Next week is
the ASME event,
graduation for my students,
and my birthday.
You got a full plate.
And I have
my, um, appointment,
my kidney stone doctor.
Oh, sh**, that's next week.
I know he says
they can pass naturally.
Yeah.
But at this point,
just take it out.
I'm tired of
being in pain.
But then, you know,
what's so crazy about it is,
when do I have time
to get surgery?
Right, to do the surgery.
But you gotta
prioritize health
at the top of that list,
you know what I mean?
Are you gonna change that?
Yeah, I am gonna change it.
[♪]
Good afternoon, love.
- How can I help you today?
- Thank you.
Um, I'm meeting
a friend here.
- Thank you, this is perfect.
- Okay.
Hello, I'll get you
started with some water here.
- Thank you so much.
- No problem, no problem.
Can I get a sparkling rose
while I wait?
Of course.
Thank you so much.
I am meeting a girlfriend,
I think at the bar.
At the bar.
- Thank you.
- You're welcome, darling.
- Hi.
- Hi.
- How are you?
- Good. How are you doing?
- I'm okay.
- Yeah.
[sighs]
Um, okay.
How are the people?
Not good.
- It's hard.
- I know, I know, I'm sorry.
I know, I know, I know.
So, my dear friend
and hair stylist,
who has been doing my hair
for over 16 years...
We're gonna do a trim.
Yes, please.
And you don't wanna trim
too much off the front,
- right?
- Uh-uh.
She just recently lost
her sister and brother-in-law
in a tragic car accident.
And, um, coming here today
is really hard.
It's just hard to see
my friends in so much pain.
- Yeah.
- And just knowing
that this is going to take
a long time for them to...
Yeah.
I mean, they'll
never get over it,
- but...
- Yeah, yeah.
Sorry.
- I'm sorry.
- Robyn, it's okay.
Yeah, thank you.
Life is so short.
It's important to me
to squash any type
of stupid drama
with people
that I care about.
[sighs]
Okay.
Um, hello, there.
- How you doing?
- How are you? Good.
I would love a glass
of rose, as well.
One of those, as well.
Thank you.
Um, I know that's
been, like, consuming,
but I'm-I'm glad that we're
getting a chance to talk.
What you've said
in your text,
yes, I feel like
I-I don't like where we are.
I consider you
like a little sister.
Robyn, you're, like,
the only person in this group...
Like...
I needed to get
that out, yes.
Yeah.
I don't understand why
you could not have
just talked to me
if you felt like I was
directing my message to you.
So, who exactly are
you talking about
'cause I feel like
I do remember you,
like, questioning
my loyalty as a friend?
None of these bitches
are real.
They're all fake.
No one is loyal.
- Yeah.
- And I do wanna point out,
like, with the whole
Chris and Gizelle thing,
- like, I have been telling Gizelle...
- Yeah.
That I don't
look at it the same way
that she looks at it.
And so, I just feel like,
in this situation with us,
what you were saying
on Instagram was wrong.
Mm-hmm.
I understand where
you were coming from,
and I don't think
that you are
a fake bitch.
I mean, in the future,
just be a little more specific.
That's fair.
I just want to move on
- because...
- I know.
Like, there's too much
other stuff going on,
- obviously.
- Right.
[♪]
Coming up next...
I'm really scared to...
be on my own.
[♪]
Hi!
[laughing]
- Hi, gorgeous.
- Hi.
- How are you, baby?
- You look fabulous.
- Good, good, good.
- I miss you.
Y'all did it.
Hi, Aaron.
- Good. How you doin', honey?
- Good seeing you. Good.
- How you feeling?
- Come on, Aaron. Come on.
Good?
Okay, come on in.
Hi, hello.
How are you?
Gordon and I
started developing
The Joint Chiropractic
in 2013.
This is Dr. Lee.
He's actually gonna be
doing your adjustments.
- Hi.
- Good afternoon.
- [bones cracking]
- Ooh!
So, we currently
have 14 Joint offices
over four different states
that we own and operate,
and then there
are 8 locations
that we just
collect royalties on
and make sure everybody
is doing their job right.
I make $450,000.
Sorry for telling you guys.
Mia.
But this particular
location is my baby.
- I'm Mia.
- Hi. Danielle.
- And this is Jeremiah.
- Hi.
- He's our miniature CEO.
- He runs things around here.
Is that right?
And I think it's more so
just because I'm from D.C.,
and I feel like it's only right
for me to bring
affordable chiropractic
back to our community.
I want the ribbon to
come across, like, here.
Okay.
So, do... have we
seen the scissors?
- No.
- Stop it. Really?
Okay, I haven't
seen these scissors.
- Okay, let's get with Dawn.
- Okay.
- And make sure we have 'em.
- And I'll-I'll locate those.
- Got it.
- Thank you, baby.
- Cheers to we... in' did it.
- Yeah.
Well, it feels great
to be a part of D.C. now.
- Don't you love this area?
- What's not to love?
It's not just all our cash.
We do bring on
personal and friends.
Since we did have
a business deal
that did fall through...
How are you feeling about
the deal that didn't go so well?
Well, it's a lot of things
riding on it, yeah,
but you know what?
There'll be more deals.
This particular location
has got to work.
I'm not sure.
I-I'm tired of lawyers,
right now,
so I don't wanna
talk about anything.
[laughing]
- Hi!
- Mia! Hi, baby.
I was like I know
this baby blue.
- Aww, congratulations.
- Aww, thank you for coming.
- Don't make me cry.
- This is everything.
- Thank you.
- Oh, I love it.
This is the first
location in DC.
Yes. Hi.
How are you?
It's a no-brainer for me
to show up for Mia.
I don't throw
my friendships away.
I take them seriously.
That's how I roll, okay?
- Hi, baby.
- Hi. Oh, my goodness.
- Oh, my God. Look at that.
- You look amazing.
- I love this.
- Thank you for being here.
[♪]
I was looking forward to
seeing mom.
Everything okay with mommy?
Oh, yeah, no.
She-she didn't make it.
- Oh, okay.
- I know.
Yeah.
I'm okay.
You need me to...
I'll-I'll reach out to you.
- Thank you.
- No, no, this is your moment.
Enjoy. I'm sorry I asked
the question, right now.
Yeah, no, it's okay.
Thank you.
- All right, baby.
- Thank you for being here.
Aww.
Hello, everyone.
- Hi.
- Hi.
Good morning and welcome to
The Joint Chiropractic
Cathedral Commons
grand opening.
For those who don't know,
my name is Mia Thornton.
I am the Regional Developer
and Multi-Clinic Owner
for The Joint Chiropractic
over four different regions,
but today makes five.
[cheers and applause]
- All: Go, DC!
- Uh-oh.
Here we go. Here we go.
[cheers and applause]
[♪]
Okay, we're here, Dilly-Willy.
We're here, poo-poo.
Hey.
[grunts]
You good?
You need some help?
Want me to carry him?
You're good?
Yeah, I'm okay.
- Oh, this is so nice.
- All right.
Yeah, you know,
let's sit down, you know.
- Hi, auntie.
- How are you?
- Good.
- How is my baby?
- Which one, me or this one?
- Both.
- Oh, we're good.
- Oh, he's asleep.
[sighs]
Yeah, he's sleeping. Yeah.
Can I get you something
to drink? Corona?
- Yes, please.
- Okay.
Both of my kids
were supposed to come.
Right, right.
And then Michael is like,
"I wanna spend time with Dean."
You know, he just got back
from, um, Vegas.
And I said, "That's fine.
Like, you can do it
when we come back."
And he was like,
"No, you just take Dylan,
and I'm gonna keep Dean."
He started yelling.
"You never plan
anything properly."
It just became a whole
screaming match, right?
And Dean starts...
Dean has been saying,
- "Stop," when we're yelling.
- Oh, not good.
- Thank you.
- Mmm.
So, yeah, I just
grabbed Dylan, and we left.
And that's really bad
when your little child
is coming in between you all
and saying stop.
- Mm-hmm.
- Yeah.
I'm not arguing anymore.
It's so stressful for me.
- Yeah.
- Mm-hmm.
You-you've really gotta
separate, and, you know,
you have the children together.
You've gotta think of
your boys and yourself.
Yes.
Hey, big boy.
- Hi.
- Look who it is.
I don't know how I'm gonna feel
living in a house
with two young kids by myself.
It just doesn't feel like
it's the most important thing
for me to do,
at this moment,
for me and the kids.
I am really scared
to do this by myself,
and I'm really scared to be,
like, on my own.
You're never on
your own, Ashley.
I know I'm not,
auntie, but I am.
Like, ultimately, I have to...
I'm gonna be responsible
for so much,
including the well-being
of these two kids, you know.
- Mm-hmm.
- And I'm really scared.
- Ashley, you have us.
- I know.
We're there 100%.
You have tons of family
who are there for you
- and who love you.
- I know, auntie.
To me, you're a
fantastic mother.
Being separated from Michael
isn't gonna change who you are
as a person.
Just believe in yourself.
You have to believe
in yourself, Ashley.
- It's so hard.
- I know.
You are a strong woman.
She's gotta believe in
what she's got around her,
outside of Michael.
[sighs]
Coming up next...
Uh, number one, we are
just so proud of our daughters
and thankful for, uh,
not having to have us
bail you outta jail.
[laughing]
[♪]
- Hi.
- Hello.
- Where are you?
- I am here.
Okay. Let me just
walk over there, okay?
Okay, yes,
you'll see my car.
- Hi. You look nice.
- Thank you.
- Muah.
- Muah.
I got really tired
on the plane.
- You went to sleep?
- Yes, I did,
and then the flight
was really bumpy.
Oh, that's the devil.
My mom and I have not always had
the greatest relationship.
We got into a very big argument
that became physical.
You are the narcissist.
You're the brat.
You're the little princess.
You're the diva.
That's you.
I held on to what I thought
our relationship
should be forever.
I have learned to let
what she says roll off my back,
and it was easier said
than done.
- I know it is.
- It was raining when we left.
It's been rainy
all week here.
- Mm-hmm.
- Oh!
My period was supposed to
have started, like,
- several days ago.
- Mm-hmm.
- And it hasn't started.
- Oh, so, you may be pregnant?
A baby, ooh.
[laughing]
Oh, my God.
Maybe y'all will calm down
and stop cursing.
No, we're gonna curse.
Stop using
the F-word so much.
- No.
- Really?
- Yes.
- You have to.
- No.
- Yes.
Children can hear curse words
and know that
- they are not to use them.
- Uh-uh. I don't see how.
[♪]
Oh, my God.
[laughing]
- Look at baby. Hi.
- Hi, Kal.
Oh, my gosh.
Like, where is
this on you?
What do you guys think?
- It's so big.
- It's so pretty.
You love it?
- Yes.
- Yes.
You do?
Yes.
Thank you, mom.
Really?
- Yes.
- What do you mean, really?
- Okay, good.
- So pretty.
Candy table over there.
We'll put gifts over here
when people come in,
if they bring gifts.
The other room is for
me and my girlfriends.
- And Kal.
- Yeah.
Always and... always
and Kal, right?
Yes.
So, I'll be in the other room.
- Bye.
- I love you guys.
- We love you, too.
- Happy sweet 16.
- Thanks, mom.
- Thanks, mom.
[laughing]
I do remember 16 years ago,
they were both eight pounds.
Those babies were humongous.
Okay, shut it down.
[laughing]
Oh, God, Gracie.
- Hey, you.
- Hi.
- You look so pretty.
- Thank you.
- Are y'all gonna behave?
- Yes.
- You look beautiful.
- Like always.
- Naturally.
- All right. Have at it.
Okay.
- Oh, baby.
- I miss you. I miss you.
- How are you?
- Good.
- You look beautiful.
- You wanna sit in here?
- Wherever you need me.
- Okay, come on in.
Hi, dad.
Since he's here now,
can we take some pictures,
and then we can get out?
- Yeah, let's do that.
- Okay.
We've had our ups and downs,
our highs and lows,
but Jamal is right there,
present and accounted for.
All right.
Do y'all thing.
[♪]
- Well, hello.
- Hey, wow!
- Yum-yum-yum.
- How are you?
I am fantastic.
You look amazing.
Wow, I mean, you're
glistening, gleaming.
- Am I? Yah-yah.
- Yes.
- You guys are matching.
- This is McKenzie.
- McKenzie, this is Ashley.
- Hi. Nice to meet you.
Hi. Nice to meet you.
- Where do I sit, babe?
- Sit here.
- Okay.
- Hey, lady.
- Hi. How are you?
- Hi.
- [laughing]
- Why are you crazy?
- Hi.
- How are you?
This is McKenzie.
McKenzie, this is Charrisse.
- Hi, Charrisse.
- Hi, McKenzie.
- Nice to meet you.
- You're beautiful.
Damn, girl.
- This is Crystal and Chris.
- Hi. How are you?
- Robyn Dixon!
- Robyn!
- Hi.
- Hey, girl.
- Oh, I like this.
- Thank you.
Very cute.
Sorry I'm late.
Where do I go?
Your kids will be in college
before you know it.
What's the saying?
The days are long,
but the years are short.
Yeah.
I don't know if everybody
has met Jamal Bryant.
- Hello. How are you?
- Hi, Jamal.
- Nice to see you.
- This is my baby daddy.
[laughing]
- Babies daddy. Babies daddy.
- How is it going?
- How are you? Long time.
- Oh, it's so nice to see you.
Yes.
My girls said I can
give a little speech,
- so I'm gonna do and do that.
- Aww.
You're gonna do great.
Kill it.
You are.
Ting-ting-ting.
So, we're Angel
and Adore's parents.
We just wanted to say
a couple words.
We're not gonna
embarrass them.
I'll let dad go first.
Okay.
Um, number one,
thank you all for coming
and being such, uh,
great friends to our daughters.
Uh, we are just so
overwhelmingly proud of them.
Thank you for, uh, not having
to have us bail you outta jail
or get out of any trouble.
[laughing]
But you all have been...
They've been great.
- Jail?
- Yeah.
- Okay, but jail. Okay.
- Thank...
You all have caused us
zero problems 16 years.
- Yes, yes.
- And for that, we're grateful.
Yes.
Um, the two of you
are what I wish I was
when I was 16.
And I'm not,
because I wasn't
as confident.
I wasn't as strong.
And you guys are
killing the game.
So, love you guys.
[applause]
Angel and Adore
are my heart and soul.
They remind me
that there are
beautiful, special,
sweet people out there
that want everyone to win
and want everybody to be happy.
They are absolutely amazing.
♪ Happy birthday
♪ Happy birth...
[cheers and applause]
- Woot-woot-woot-woot.
- Okay.
All right.
We're gonna cut
the cake and pass it out.
Coming up next...
- Where is the wedding, Robyn?
- Um...
- Uh-oh.
- Oh, she...
- [laughing]
- Ooh!
It's a private ceremony,
just the four of us.
Now, you're having
an intimate wedding
with no guests.
Okay.
[♪]
I'm glad
you're excited.
I'm still busy.
I have lots to do.
I gotta finish cooking.
This is my happy dance
'cause I'm so excited.
Ahh! We're having a party.
I'm excited to just
celebrate where I am.
I'm going to look
at the tent.
Where is the chef?
Hey, honey, give me
a piece of cake, okay?
Ahh!
- Oh, my God!
- There's a...
It's a brown snake.
- Candiace...
- What?
I thought Gizelle
wasn't coming.
There she is.
[laughing]
There she is.
She came anyway.
Ahh!
[♪]
- Hi.
- Hi.
Oh, look at the flowers.
- Hi.
- Hi.
You look so pretty.
- Hi.
- Hi. How are you?
You know,
I'm always on time, huh?
- I mean, it's okay.
- Yes.
I am, too.
[laughing]
- Well, you don't look ready.
- Candiace...
Candiace tells me
it's 'cause I'm white.
- Hello?
- I knew it.
- Here we go, baby.
- Oh, my Lord.
I'm gonna put you... I'm gonna
let you go in first, though.
- How is that?
- Oh, Lord, Ray.
You all right?
Oh, there's Karen.
How are you?
- Hi. How are you?
- I'm good. Muah.
- Good to see ya again. Muah.
- Good to see you.
All: Whoo!
Okay, girl.
- Hello.
- Hello.
Wait. Hold-hold on.
Hold it. Wait a minute.
I thought this was, like,
a picnic or something
- or a backyard barbecue.
- This is my picnic attire.
That's your
picnic attire. Okay.
- Ray, have you met my wife?
- Huh?
Extra is the name
of the game.
This is how you do
a picnic. Yes.
Chris and my mom are fine.
Chris wants peace
because he loves her daughter.
She did give him an apology
the best way that she knew how.
Have you apologized to
your son-in-law's face?
You think he
is owed that?
Uh, I guess.
Yes, that's fine.
- I guess.
- That's fine.
And that's...
That has to be enough.
- Robyn!
- Hi.
- Oh, you look so cute.
- Hi. You, too.
- Congratulations.
- Thank you.
[indistinct chatter]
Now, I'm ready to party.
- Yes.
- Candiace, pop the bottle.
Hi. How are you?
Is it just
those two coolers?
- Hi.
- Hi.
- Look at the twins.
- How are you?
- Hi. Skylar!
- Hi.
I know. I know you like her
more than you like me.
- It's okay. It's all right.
- She's just so cute.
[laughing]
Charrisse is here, everyone.
Come on, two degrees!
Two degrees, yes!
- Hey, Eddie, how you doin'?
- You look so pretty.
- How are you?
- Good to see you, too.
Good to see you, too.
Congratulations to you, too.
Thank you.
I'm here for all
the degrees, honey.
Two degrees!
I mean, it's not four,
but it's two.
We love it.
- Hi, Karen.
- Baby.
Aww.
- Okay, save it. Save it.
- Aww.
Is that...
That's beef, isn't it?
Yeah, yeah, yeah,
a little bit of London broil.
Ahh!
- How are you?
- Congratulations.
Oh, not... you got...
It's a matching family.
I can't.
This is what
I aspire to be.
I took a pregnancy test
this morning,
and it was negative.
So, in the moment,
I was...
I was disappointed.
I was sad,
but now we can
go back to our plan
and finish our egg
retrieval process.
Ava.
Ava, say,
"Hi, Auntie Can die."
Hi, gorgeous.
Girl, I'm so hot.
This food has made me hot.
Robyn, you know, Ray and I
have a lot of free time
on our hands.
- Do you?
- When is the wedding, Robyn?
Um...
- Uh-oh.
- Uh-oh.
- Oh, she's...
- Oh!
Well, okay, no, I've been
waiting for a wedding.
She's gettin' hot.
Oh, look at her.
She's gettin' hot
all of a sudden.
- No, I'm already hot.
- Seriously,
what is up with it?
We got the wedding dress?
- We got the venue?
- We're working on our plans.
- Working on the plan?
- Mm-hmm.
It's a private ceremony,
just the four of us.
- Really?
- Mm-hmm.
- So, we're not invited.
- Nope.
Now, you're having
an intimate wedding
with no guests.
Okay.
I'm gonna go
and get a...
A little different
kinda drink here.
Just say, "Listen,
this ain't for me and Juan.
"We're not gonna get married.
"We like shacking or doing it
like we're doing it.
"It's none of y'all business."
And I would mind my business,
but you make it
my business.
- Hey, ladies.
- Hey, Wendy.
- Hey. Hi.
- Hi.
Well, girls, look,
I got to find my man.
- Okay.
- I will, uh, leave you all.
Okay.
- Hey, Robyn.
- Hi.
- How are you doing?
- I'm good.
Last time I saw you, we had
a good drunk conversation.
Very drunk.
So, I'm-I'm just checking in
because I feel like sometimes
people say a drunk mind
speaks a sober heart.
- Mm-hmm.
- And what I said to you,
is how I felt.
I was hurt by things you did,
but most importantly for me,
is like I told you.
I miss our friendship,
- and I miss you.
- Right.
I mean, you know, I, um,
I've had time to think about it,
and my main question was,
why are you comfortable
having that conversation
when there was, you know,
no one from the group around,
where it didn't seem like
you had to win a debate?
It wasn't met with
the same contention
that I've been met with
from you in the past year.
I wanna know what
you're receiving
as them talking
about your husband.
You don't even
have a relationship
to even care about.
So, for me, it's like,
which is it?
I don't know.
I really don't.
[♪]
My main question was,
why are you comfortable
having that conversation
when there was, you know,
no one from the group around,
where it didn't seem like
you had to win a debate
or win a conversation?
So, for me,
it's like, which is it?
I don't know.
I really don't.
No, I think
it's a valid question,
and, like, I sat down,
and I-I had liquid courage,
and I was like I'm gonna
tell you how I feel,
but, in that moment,
I just didn't want
what we had
to completely be gone.
Right, and...
And I appreciate that.
- Well, here I am.
- Yeah.
- Coming to you twice...
- Right.
- So you know it's genuine.
- Okay.
And I am saying to you
I'm sorry that I hurt you.
Yeah.
And I valued our
relationship enough
- to come to make it right.
- I appreciate that.
So, I don't know
if there's something
that you still want me
to acknowledge.
Uh, yeah. Are you
gonna say you're sorry?
For what?
Are you gonna say you're sorry
that you hurt my feelings?
But I have said
that already.
Okay, can you
say it again?
And so, I'm sorry.
- [gasps]
- Oh!
Oh, you apologized
to me!
Aww.
I'm surprised that
she actually took ownership
for her part
that caused
the dissolution
of our friendship.
[laughing]
Like, I'll take
this Wendy,
this one-on-one Wendy,
any day.
Where is everybody?
It's hot.
You dancing?
Let's go.
Baby, you gotta
look at the camera.
[laughing]
- Miss Candiace.
- We have to have a chat.
Can I get a brewski while
I have a moment with Candiace?
- Oh, okay, I'll find one.
- Yes, let me get my drink.
Okay, I'll give you this. Yeah.
- Hey, how are you?
- How are you?
- I'm good.
- How you feeling?
- It's so good to see you.
- It's so good to see you, too.
- I'm good.
- Y'all been all right?
- We've been good.
- Okay.
Yeah.
Yes, I will.
I know. I might go
over there today.
- Okay. Is she doing okay?
- Eh.
Just taking it
day by day for sure.
Yeah, day by day. Yeah.
All right. So, okay.
So, we have to talk
because remember we were at
that last dinner in Miami.
- Yes.
- And Ashley told you
- that I said that you were...
- In these streets.
She was sneaking outta town,
going to restaurants
with someone
that wasn't Ray.
I did not remember saying it,
and that's why I was
- vehemently denying it.
- Girl, I have had my...
I was being messy
and drunk
with a demon.
People used to tell me
so much stuff
about Karen and Ray.
Oh, my God!
My bad.
I love you and Ray.
- Ooh, I know you do.
- Y'all are in...
Y'all are in these streets together.
But that...
We are, hustling.
Yes, uh, we see that.
But let me say this.
That means a lot to me
- because we had made progress.
- Yes, we have.
- And I... and I don't...
- Albeit very slow progress.
Right, but I don't
want the progress
to be put to the side.
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
I was like, you didn't hurt me
like that, did you?
- Did you see...
- No.
I mean,
when you own your sh**,
I'm okay with you,
and this is
not enough to end it,
but I'm-I'm watching you.
Miss Ashley, was
she lit that night?
- We-we both were. Yeah.
- Oh, so-so,
- she was being shady, too.
- Yes, she was.
'Cause I've grown
with Ashley, too.
How are you
with Ashley?
- We're not.
- Okay. God is good.
- Our group is disjointed.
- It really is.
And as much as I don't
care for certain individuals,
I don't like that
we're not all together.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- So, this or that.
'Cause her and Candiace
aren't on the same page. So...
Yes. The way
I saw it was like,
it didn't have necessarily
anything to do with Candiace.
It was just you and her
that had the thing.
I was just trying to help
Gizelle understand
how Candiace communicates
so that they might
communicate better.
- Right.
- At the end of the day,
- your feelings are your feelings.
- Bam, yeah.
And if she was uncomfortable,
she was uncomfortable,
but it wasn't because of
anything I did. So...
Hmm. What about you
taking the higher level
and apologize to her
'cause it was
a misunderstanding?
Apologize for what, Ray?
I didn't do anything.
She misunderstood your
intentions, apparently.
- That-that's a...
- But there was no intentions.
I know.
I still feel like
I'm admitting
to some-something
that I did wrong,
and I stand by the fact that
I did absolutely nothing wrong.
- Well, let me go back over here...
- That's funny.
- And see how Candiace...
- Yeah, all right.
- Is doing, Ray.
- That's good. Yeah, go ahead.
Good chatting with you
for a second.
And let's say
they do meet,
and they do talk.
We don't know what else
Gizelle is gonna say
because who the hell knew
she was gonna say this?
Can I get everyone's
attention, please?
I just wanted to thank
everyone for coming.
Hi.
- Oh, my God, there's too many
- ing people in here.
Um, this is a really
momentous occasion
for my family.
We're celebrating
my MBA,
and I have to thank my mom
for being my example.
So, I wanna thank you
personally, Mom, for...
Aww.
[applause]
For being
that example for me.
I'm really, really,
really proud of you.
Thank you, mom.
You know,
you've worked so hard.
- Get it from you.
- Yes, you did.
- You have set the example.
- Yes, yes, yes.
It's a wonderful feeling
to look around a room
and see all
of your blessings.
It reminds me
what I'm capable of.
Regardless of whom
may come
and attempt
to create contention,
what God has for you,
no man can take.
- To magical Blackness.
- Yes!
To living your best lives
and celebrating yourself.
[cheering]
Come on, get this!
I feel like it.
[laughing]
Oh, man.
Next time,
on "The Real Housewives
of Potomac"...
Mia did talk
about the fact
that she allowed Jacqueline
to have sex with
one of her boyfriends,
and Mia wanted
to watch.
So, I was like, is this
happening currently?
Oh, whoa!
[laughing]
What are you doing,
Candiace?
- I'm trying to do a crunch.
- M'kay.
[sighs]
I am incredibly nervous
to shoot my music video
with Trina.
Oh, God, ow.
Okay, that's good.
Welcome to
"Reasonably Shady!"
[applause]
[laughing]
Now, you know this part
of the show is boring.
I wanted to talk
to you about the prenup.
The question
was posed, like,
do you put
an infidelity clause?
We know that Gordon
likes other women.
So, you never said,
"Pick me?"
- You'll have to ask Mia that.
- I'm asking you.
Somethin' strange
about this.
It wasn't Gordon that
bought you the car?
Are you trying to say
he's my sug...
- I'm a sidepiece now?
- Why?
You want a Porsche, too?
You think
there's more to it?
