As Phaedra Parks uses the ninth season of ‘The Real Housewives of Atlanta’ to support the victims of the Flint Water Crisis, some of her cast mates have opted to use the platform to front more unscrupulous endeavours.

Two of these, rather unfortunately, are Todd Tucker and Peter Thomas, husbands of ‘Housewives’ Kandi Burruss and Cynthia Bailey.

For, perhaps in retaliation for remarks Parks has made about them during their run on the series, the supporting characters reached a new low with hopes of a ratings high by introducing Sherien Almufti to the series.

Why it was a new low?

Almufti’s alleged affair with Parks’ husband Apollo Nida.

Welcome to another edition of Retro Rewind, the TGJ feature whipped up to celebrate TV and Film’s entertaining, and occasionally horrific, past.

Today, thirteen years after its release, we revisit Halle Berry‘s ‘Gothika.’

As anyone who’s watched the ‘Real Housewives Of Atlanta’ knows, Kandi Burruss is a straight-shooter.

So when the serial entrepreneur stopped by the Wendy Williams Show today, few topics were off-guard.

With Williams renown for asking the questions folk really want answers to, topics discussed include Burruss’ rumored threesome with castmate Porsha Williams, her daughter Riley’s father, and Apollo Nida‘s new fiance.

The latter is especially interesting because Kandi revealed the woman – Sherien Almufti – popped up on the cast during recent filming.
