Could RHOA Suffer the Same Fate As RHONY?


Devotees of Atlanta are too busy relitigating the battles of yesteryear to appreciate this season. And the show is suffering because of it.

All the women listed have — in some fashion or another — left their stamp on the franchise, with a bevy of meme-able reactions in the archives for longstanding Housewives acolytes that have become a digital vocabulary on their own — from NeNe gasping at Kenya Moore’s white refrigerator to Kandi dramatically exclaiming “the lies! Kenya was unceremoniously suspended after an attempt at humiliating a co-worker on-camera led to her presenting explicit photos of new Housewife Brit Eady during her long-awaited salon opening, while Porsha’s ongoing legal fight with her estranged husband has limited her filming opportunities to her mother’s house and prevented her from talking at length about her divorce.
