And whats a better place to initiate this exercise in shadow-producing than at a kids birthday party?

Kenya, and the adorable party planner Monet, throw baby Brooklyn the tea party of my 27-year-old dreams.
As Larsa fromRHOMwould say, Lets get a pulse.
But this shady teatime feels a little too forced in terms of laying out the framework for drama.
Like, why would Kandi pick the card that was directed toward her?
Call me a skeptic, but it seems a little too convenient.
However, this moment reminded me of a bone I have to pick with both the show and fans.
The tea that Kandi reads about herself is a claim that she has sucked dick in a locker room.
Again, kind of weird that she herself would pull that card, but lets roll with it.
Season after season, Kandis sexuality has been a hot topic, but season nine was especially dark.
This moment between Kandi, Porsha, and Phaedra remains a polarizing discussion onscreen and off.
Some fans vehemently voice their desires for Phaedra to return.
Personally, Im still not over people commenting Pill Cosby under Kandis Instagram posts.
That is just ridiculous.
We need to draw the line somewhere.
Its unfortunate that it even has to be said.
Drew writes on her card that someone at the table doesnt pay their employees.
Shes always very invested in the most random things when she clearly needs to focus on her marriage.
This smells like assistant Anthony is thirsty for screen time, and Drew wants to provoke Sheree.
Drews tea backfires with Sherees friend Fatum saying that assistant Anthony has been saying that Ralph is gay?
Let the games begin.
Despite the drama, Kenya proclaims that Brooklyns party was a success, and I second that motion.
I cant even answer those questions about my own nephews.
Sorry, guys, I still love you!
Kandi stating that one of her career goals is to get an EGOT is admirable.
I guess we should always shoot for the moon.
Either way, Monyetta, who used to be married to Ne-Yo, should be an interesting cast addition.
Does anyone else recognize Sherees trainer Clifford?
I would love to see footage of Cliff training Marlo.
Weve all been there.
