Sunday on The Real Housewives of Atlanta Season 8 Episode 5, Cynthia and Porsha’s argument turned nuclear on the ladies’ cruise.
While that beef heated up and there was clearly no love lost on this love boat, Kandi hoped to receive some big news from her doctor …
If you watch The Real Housewives of Atlanta online, you know the Cynthia Bailey and Porsha Williams feud was nearing its boiling point.
Porsha called Cynthia a bitch, which she said was a term of endearment, but Cyn wasn’t buying it, and well, neither was backing down.
“We have had years of issues back and forth; I’m going to find out if this how it’s gonna all fall out,” Porsha shouted as Cynthia asked:
“This is how you want to be? This is how you want to be?”
Fans who love cat fights might answer yes, but the cast?
The pushing, shoving and kicking escalated quickly.
“I’ve seen this before. She’s like a rabid dog. This is a scary scene,” Kenya Moore, who knows what getting beat down by Porsha is like, said.
Pretty nuts all around, even by their standards.
In the aftermath of the brawl, Kandi Burruss headed to the doctor for an ultrasound of her baby, while Todd Tucker … had a phone call.
One that caused him to miss its heartbeat.
Finding work-life balance is tough on all of us, but at least they know it’s a boy … oh wait, that’s just the leg. Sorry Todd. Maybe it still is?
Meanwhile, back to the dysfunctional mess that is Cynthia and Porsha’s feud, Kenya decided to insert herself into their reconciliation.
It was as bad an idea as it sounds like.
Basically, Kenya tried to point out that Porsha was a repeat offender in terms of violence, and Williams didn’t take kindly to this “gotcha” moment.
“I don’t trust you,” Porsha told Kenya, wholly unimpressed with her motives. “You don’t have any compassion for me, and I know that.”
Still, Porsha said she would “give Cynthia a chance” to make it right, while Bailey admitted that things got out of hand. So there’s hope?
Kim Fields, Sheree Whitfield, Kandi, Cynthia, and Phaedra Parks were on edge when Cynthia and Porsha showed up at the same lunch.
Once they had some privacy (except for gawking co-stars and Bravo cameras), Porsha and Cynthia got into it … fists-free this time.
“Just bruising, so I took a couple days off from work,” Porsha said when Cynthia asked how she is. “But emotionally, I was bothered by the situation.”
Porsha stuck to her story, though.
“However that made you feel, that was not my intention behind it,” she said of bitch-gate, and that was close enough as apologies go.
“I came here today to apologize for my part in it,” Cynthia said, following non-apology suit. “I had no expectation from you whatsoever.”
Incredibly, they hugged it out. A few weeks before the most special time of the year, a true Christmas miracle may have just occurred.
