Pinky is hosting a charity event at one of her Slutty Vegan establishments. I have to admit the name IS catchy. You’re not going to forget that.
The ladies were all tasked with bringing designated donations.
I seem to recall last season this not going well, when there was a charity event being held and the ladies needed to donate.
They are definitely judged on what they bring, how much they bring, and how much they spend.
I feel like she gave Porsha and Phaedra the most expensive assignments. Phaedra – baby formula, and Porsha book bags filled with ‘kids’ items.’
Did they draw the short straw or does Pinky think they’re the most prosperous of the gang?
And why am I not surprised that Porsha is complains? Porsha doesn’t strike me as particularly charitable.
Cynthia must be the poorest. She got toothbrushes.
Kelli and Pinky commiserate about their financial woes with their perspective eateries. They both are considering filing for bankruptcy to get out from under the law suits and creditors, to start fresh.
Listening to them doesn’t really want to make your run and open a restaurant does it?
I think she might’ve given Phaedra the formula assignment because she was yapping that Pinky’s not truly a vegan.
Well that makes sense right? I’m here for it. So what if you saw her eating a steak five years ago. She probably needed some protein.
Vegans and Vegetarians are always hangry because they don’t eat enough protein, or any.
If you watch Below Deck at all, that crowd is always so cranky whiney and bitchy.

What did I say last week about Housewives and their ‘brands.’ Alcohol is a big trend usually.
Cynthia has a tequila coming out. She’s ‘partnering’ with the Maloof family, as in Adrienne Maloof, previous Beverly Housewife.
I think they’re doing next to nothing but slapping some money down to have it be known as their brand. Very similar to what Shamea is doing with the rum. It’s very Housewife, as none of them are business people.
I don’t know much about Adrienne though. I didn’t watch the early years.
Bethenney is really the only one who had an original idea and her own branding, and made it happen. I’m not even a Bethenney fan, but the facts are the facts.
I actually used to be a big buyer and supporter of the Skinny Girl Marg, then I started getting annoyed with Bethenney when she was a Housewife and her smug and nasty attitude. She was so mean to Sonja for no reason.
I think this may have been after she sold it, but still. It’s the principle.
I liked it because I love me a marg, but don’t like my drinks to be overly sweet so I didn’t care for any of the store mixers. And it’s so easy! Just opem and pour!
THEN I discovered (and this isn’t a paid advertisement) the ‘Simply’ brand Limeade. Just mix that with some Tequila, a squeeze of oange and you are GOOD TO GO. It’s so light and refreshing. If you like margaritas try it. TRY. IT. Thank me later. I don’t even like Skinny Girl anymore.
Anywho, that’s enough of that because like I said, I’m not getting paid by Simply.
Shamea’s husband is so no nonsense.
I admit he scares me a little, but he seems so drama-free and like a teddy bear. What’s a drama-free dude like? I literally have no idea.
Shamea tries to engage with him and is batting her lashes at him, and asking if he likes her dress and he’s barely even acknowledging her. Maybe he’s camera shy.
He’s not a lunatic insecure drama-queen narcissistic asshole, so fine with me, however, he could have at least cracked a smile.
Cynthia is hosting a trip to Dallas to showcase ‘her’ tequila. Apparently a lot of people in Dallas drink tequila.
Shamea and Gerald still wanting to do this surrogate thing. I guess that’s his purpose for being here right now in her closet;to discuss this with her, because he sure as hell doesn’t want to be here.
Not sure if it’s the cameras, or if he can’t stand Shamea.
Their surrogate was not able to deliver in the transfer, but they still want to proceed with another.

So if I’m understanding this correctly, Porsha has a boyfriend AND a girlfriend?
The boyfriend drops by and she starts whining and crying about her latest divorce situation.
She wants to discuss their future together. If I were her, I probably wouldn’t point out two divorces, an ex-fiance, and a child out of wedlock, but she’s Porsha and she has no self-awareness whatsoever.
Apparently this guy wants a kid, and she’s 44. If she hasn’t done the egg-freezing, that’s a dangerous time to have a child. Sorry can’t see Porsha who is special needs herself, with a special needs child.
He calls that a ‘deal breaker.’
Well she has the girlfriend as backup.
Porsha generally picks the worst guys, so while this guy was coming off as normal in t his short scene, I sincerely doubt that he is.
******
What’s with the spin class? None of these women look like they work out.
Phaedra claims she didn’t say that Pinky ate meat, she merely pointed out that she used to own a rib place.
Is it not possible she wasn’t ALWAYS vegan???
Also who really cares.
Phaedra complains about her baby formula assignment. She can shut up.
She can cough it up and shut up.
Porsha follows that up with bitching about her book bags and toys assignment.
Honest to God I can’t believe these ho’s knowing we know what they get paid (not exactly but we can easily look it up, or estimate) would have the audacity to sit and piss and moan about donating to needy children.
******
Angela also has a business venture in the works, however NOT alcohol.
Fans. As in mini handheld fans for women who run hot.
NOT Charles Manson, I mean Oakley, on my screen. Sorry I just couldn’t resist.
It’s a joke! No one come after me.
You have to admit he doesn’t exactly come off as warm and fuzzy, or even like, nice. Or likable. Or human.
We’ve actually seen him be quite rude to Angela, and talk to her in an abrasive and demeaning way. I was so hoping she would be smart enough to keep him far away from the cameras this season.
Sounds like she doesn’t know what she’s doing with these fans either.
She asks Chawwles for half of the money to get her fans going, to the tune of
$25,000. He agrees. He looks annoyed AF though.
******
Pinky’s event gets underway. People are coming to pick up their goodies.
Drew called in sick. Yeah she didn’t want to purchase her donation assignment.
Respiratory infection my ass. Creative though.
They get into this whole thing about who said what in regards to Pinky not being vegan. Then there’s Shamea eluding to Phaedra not being a good mom, or that there is something wrong with her kids. They roll the tape of the interaction in question, and it’s really really dumb that they’re even discussing this.
******
Porsha doesn’t know what comes after ‘four and a quarter.’
Okay, so she visits with her sister. Baby Daddy Dennis stops by because he loves him some Housewife camera time.
He’s looking a little rough, right?
Yikes.
You know I meant to say this earlier. The roses from this dude she’s hooking up with were nice, but ‘I Want You’ on the front of the card. What the fuck is that? Wow dude you’re so romantic.
She’s collabbing with stupid Dennis and her sister on a podcast? Which will include her daughter showing her toys? If I’m understanding this correctly?
Sounds very very Porsha.
I could not even begin to fathom Porsha and Lauren on a pod together. Talk about Tweedle-Dee and Tweedle-Dumb. Or Dumb and Dumber.
Dennis is acting jealous about the flowers. Men are so stupid.
He goes in on her about her history with men, and most recent debacle.
I guess he’s trying to paint it as concern for their daughter, and maybe it is.
He ridicules her for that Simon dude scamming her. Which we all knew was going on.
No, she does not choose good partners.
BUT and I can’t believe I’m saying this, she has a very valid point in that he’s one of the ‘bad’ ones that she chose, so maybe he should shut it.
But he has a point too. Cool it with the men for like a minute. She’s bringing these dudes around her daughter immediately, and it’s a bad look to have a revolving door of men coming in and out of your house.
******
Shamea tells her husband about the bankruptcy.
He tells her he’s giving her the money to the tune of 5 million dollars, which is nice, to say the least.
And that’s a wrap on that.
