The reality television field has become a large community within itself, almost so much so that it becomes hard to keep up with the daily dramas. Don’t worry, That Grape Juice has you covered with the Top 5 Moments For The Week!
5. Tamar Braxton Breaks Down
It’s no secret that Braxton Family Values has created household names out of Toni Braxton’s younger sisters, but there has been one bonafide breakout star, and her name is Tamar Braxton! Since Season 2 the ripples between the sisters have turned into a tidal wave and it all came crashing down during Tamar’s concert in Atlanta, where her Doo Wop Pop Pop Chicks sisters Traci, Towanda, and Trina crashed the stage with an ill-timed and poorly choreographed routine to “support” their sister. This incident led to the sisters claiming that not only did Tamar rain curse words on them like a Georgia thunder storm (from a nearby room with the door closed), but also had her assistant put them out of the venue!
Bishop T.D. Jakes was called in for an emergency family intervention where Tamar said that she would give anything to have her sisters back, feeling that once her career took off to astronomical heights, some of her sisters were steady trying to pull her to the ground (here’s looking at you Towanda)! As tears erupted from the baby sisters face, she was not met with hugs or remorse, instead the sisters gave Tamar crickets leaving The Real’s panelist in a position she rarely finds herself in. She was at a loss for words.
4. Meghan James joins Basketball Wives LA
If you’ve been living under a rock, Meghan James of Bad Girls Club fame has joined BBWLA. If you’re not familiar with Meghan, don’t worry, she will take the rock you’ve been living under and knock you in the head with it! Meghan’s brand of crazy is a bit “truth cannon” meets “single black female”, and it doesn’t look like she will make friends with the cast due to her association with Public Enemy #1, Jackie Christie! Actually, she might not keep her friendship with Jackie either, publicly denying their union to Jackie’s frenemies Malaysia Pargo and Draya Michelle. Keep an eye on this one folks, because it’s only a matter of time before a WWF Smackdown occurs!
3. Ashley Dips In The Lady Pond
Love and Hip Hop Atlanta is no stranger to the dramas and infidelities that plague a once happy marriage between Rasheeda and Kirk Frost, however, things have always seemed to bounce back for the Atlanta power couple. Kirk’s new artist Ashley has been a the whore thorn in Rasheeda’s side this season and when Erica Dixon and Rasheeda ride to Kirk’s hotel room, they find Ashley in the bed… with another woman! Yes, Ashley is a lipstick lesbian, and eased the fears of Hip-Hops #1 Rap Diva Rasheeda in the process! Kirk may have gotten in the clear this time, but something tells us that this story is far from finished.
2. Lisa Nicole Confronted By A Stripper
Married to Medicine picked up where last week’s brawl left off as the cast begins to divide in the wake of the background check brawl between Lisa Nicole Cloud and Quad Webb Lunceford. Determined to ease the mind of their friend Lisa Nicole, Toya Bush Harris and newcomer Jill Connors organize a trip to the upscale strip club Cheetah! Over the course of the show there have been discussions amongst the husband and wives regarding infidelity and the strip club, so when the girls all decided to attend, you know drama was not too far around the corner.
During their trip, Lisa Nicole was confronted by a stripper who stated that her husband and serial cheater, Dr. Darren Naugles, was a regular customer at Cheetah and all hell broke loose! Lisa Nicole denied that her husband would ever enter a strip club without her knowledge, accused the striper of lying, blamed Jill (after Jill recommended the fried chicken for Dr. Heavenly) for an alleged “set up”, and stormed out of the club! In a shocking twist, it seems this stripper wasn’t twerking for a Birkin, instead, she provided a jaw dropping moment that involved using her mouth verbally, and not.. well.. moving on!
1. Kaleena vs. Deb, aka the return of Tammy Rivera
Kaleena, Deb, and Tammy provided the “turn up” required on every episode of Love and Hop Hop Atlanta, and this time it actually appeared to be real! Kaleena who was once begging Deb Antney to manage her came in as if she was God’s gift to 2009 and rode in on her Last Train To Paris telling Deb that she should be honored to manage the former member of Diddy-Dirty Money. A shouting match ensued and saw Kaleena get kicked out of yet another music office, but not before Deb’s daugther-in-law Tammy Rivera got ahold of her! They left off with a cliffhanger, and we’re sure part two of this argument will make the list next week as well!
***************
Stay tuned for next week’s recap as Hollywood Divas returns, and The Queen Bee of Married to Medicine, Mariah Huq returns after her absence during the beginning of this season!
I so miss ATL and all the Ts
Good post TGJ! I like this idea
The Braxton sisters have – gone from beautiful black women who now have the skin color of white women. Shame, Shame, Shame on them. Its skin bleaching all the way and lighting to make them look like skin
Dang it took me a minute to figure out who the ladies were in the cover picture. Those Braxton sisters are beautiful but who would know it when they’re hiding under all that make up and wiggery smh
Are y’all serious? What a struggle post, TGJ.
For some reason, I think the plotline about the sisters crashing Tamar’s show occurred a while ago. I’m not sure if I believe Ashley Nicole is a lesbian, b/c Rasheeda’s entire storyline seems FAKE as h*ll. I wish y’all had included Countess Vaughn’s photoshoot and party on Hollywood Divas last night instead of waiting until next week, b/c it was the hottest mess of them all. I did like the addition of Shar Jackson, though.
