The Real Housewives of Atlanta Season 10 Episode 5 Recap: Another Fight Rocks the Group
Who would have thought having Kim Zolciak back would reinvigorate the series like never before?
On The Real Housewives of Atlanta Season 10 Episode 5, the bitter feud between Zolciak and Kenya Moore reached dizzying heights, and it made the whole cast question what the heck was going on.
We picked up right in the middle of the fight, with Kim reacting in anger at Kenya’s comment about what she said about pimping out Brielle.
Luckily for Kenya, Kroy was on hand to drag her out of the party before any real damage was done. Wouldn’t it have been better to let the fight continue?
Nene followed Kim outside to check how she was doing.
“I believe that kids are off-limits,” NeNe said to the camera, but she did reveal that Kim brought all of the drama on herself because of what she said on Twitter about the tickets.
Kim seemed to think that Kenya did not know much about her relationship with Chrissy Teigen. Yes, Kim likes to name drop, but who wouldn’t want to if it meant their argument had some weight?
Kim made her way to Porsha’s house to let her pal know what happened at the party.
“You don’t mention someone’s children, period,” Porsha said. “You need to stay away from her.”
Aside from all of the fighting, Cynthia finally opened up about her new man to her daughter.
The mother-daughter duo made some cupcakes and chatted about what was going on for each of them.
Cynthia said that her relationship with Will was blossoming and they were going steady. This seemed to be music to Noelle’s ears, who wanted her mother to be happy with someone closer to her age.
There was a tragedy for Kenya in the aftermath of her blowout with Kim. Kenya’s grandmother who was instrumental in her being the woman she is today passed away.
Kenya was all alone because her husband was in his hometown of New York. Cynthia appeared to check in and reveal the deets about a girls’ trip. Kenya seemed unsure about it, but the producers likely forced her to go for some guaranteed drama.
When the ladies met up to go on the trip, Sheree revealed that she wanted the trip to squash all of the crazy drama that transpired between the girls.
When everyone was opening up to one another, Sheree dropped the bomb that she was in a relationship with a man who was incarcerated.
“We’ve been talking on the phone,” Sheree said. “We started going out before he went in.”
Kandi was happy about her opening up to them, but Nene did not believe that Sheree did not know why he was in prison and found it all a bit too much.
Things took an exciting turn when it emerged that Nene invited Marlo along for the trip.
“I don’t remember giving NeNe a plus one,” Sheree said to the camera with a shocked expression on her face.
Sheree quickly aired her thoughts on the whole matter because she was mad Nene did not invite Porsha to her party.
Nene felt upset because she had defended Porsha in the past, and that they were too far gone to attempt to fix things.
“I don’t remember giving NeNe a plus one,” Sheree said to the camera.
Nene then opened up about Porsha making comments about her during the radio show.
“You talk bulls–t every day at your job!” NeNe said. You sit up and talk s–t about me!”
All hell broke loose when Kenya joined in on the argument.
“I never called and tried to get you mother-f—ing fired!” NeNe shouted at Porsha. “Nobody had your back but me, bitch!”
Yes, these ladies will never be able to have a getaway without fighting.

Ex-Pussycat Dolls Member Calls Out Group as a "Prostitution Ring"
Kaya Jones made some waves on Twitter late last week.
Who is Kaya Jones, you may be wondering?
She’s a former member of the all-girls singing group The Pussycat Dolls… although she’s here to to take issue with saying this group really had anything to do with “singing”
Or at least with the concept of making any kind of meaningful art.
“My truth. I wasn’t in a girl group. I was in a prostitution ring,” Jones Tweeted, adding:
“Oh & we happened to sing & be famous. While everyone who owned us made the $ .”
To be clear, Jones is NOT saying she and her fellow artists charged money to have sexual intercourse with anyone and that her managers acted as actual pimps.
Not in the traditional sense of the term prostitution, that is.
But no one cared about her well-being and she was only asked to sing material others put in front of her, while executives raked in the cash she helped earn.
“How bad was it? People ask – bad enough that I walked away from my dreams, my bandmates & a 13 million dollar record deal,” Jones Tweeted.
“We knew we were going to be #1.”
The Pussycat Dolls were founded by choreographer Robin Antin in 1995.
Among their many rotating members over the years, the most famous is likely Nicole Scherzinger.
You may remember the group for such hits as “Don’t Cha”, “Buttons” and “Stickwitu.”
They broke up in 2009, but Billboard ranked the Pussycat Dolls as the 80th most successful musical act of the 2000s, as they spawned merchandise opportunities, spin-off girl groups and reality programs.
Without mentioning Antin by name, Jones called out the “den mother” of the group during her social media diatribe, writing:
“I want the den mother from hell to confess why another 1 of her girl group girls committed suicide? Tell the public how you mentally broke us.”
This is almost certainly a reference to G.R.L. singer Simone Battle, who killed herself in September of 2014.
Simone Battle took her own life in 2014. May she rest in peace.
“To be a part of the team you must be a team player,” continued Jones of what she and other members were told.
“Meaning sleep with whoever they say. If you don’t they have nothing on you to leverage…Yes I said leverage.
“Meaning after they turn you out or get you hooked on drugs they use it against you. Correct. Victimizing the victim again.”
The singer went on to compare herself to a member the armed forces.
“That’s why I have so much respect for our military. I’ve been through [war]. But my scars you can’t see. At least real war is honest.
“Why don’t we report it? Because we were all abused! I personally have been warned if I tell I will…you know end up dead or no more career.”
It’s unclear why Jones has spoken out about these alleged issues now, but it’s safe to assume she is responding to the controversy surrounding Harvey Weinstein and all the women he harassed.
However, Asia Nitollano, an ex-member of the Pussycat Dolls, who was briefly in the group in 2007, jumped on Twitter and strongly denied everything Jones claimed in her rant.
“Who is Kaya Jones? Lol She was not apart of The Pussycat Dolls the recording group so I do not know her.
“If she was in the Vegas show then I know nothing about that nor have I ever heard such a thing.
“But judging from google she looks like she just wants her 15min of fame. (Side note… it says she’s a Trump supporter… but yet she’s Canadian, which means her vote doesn’t count!!!! )
“Same with this comment about The Pussycat Dolls; she wasn’t in the group so her opinion doesn’t count!!!!””

19 Most Awkward Group Texts of All-Time
The following collection of text messages can be summed up in one word:
OOPS!
They feature folks clearly forgetting they"re on a group text message exchange, often sharing pieces of information with multiple people that would have been best kept to a more intimate setting.
Feel free to laugh at these snafus, but also to heed their warning:
Always be sure of exactly who is on the opposite end of any text you send. You don"t want to end up in our next slideshow, do you?
1. More Wanking Please
UGGGH, DAD!
2. Maybe Don’t Text All Your Tinder Matches at Once
Just a small piece of advice.
3. Are All Parents This Horny?
We just don’t know it unless we’re on a group text with them?
4. Note the Name of This Group
She better at least bring cookies to the next bible study to make up for this.
5. Such Hatred for Rita Ora
What did she ever do to you?
6. Awww!
Ryan for all the wins!

Beyonce Busted: Singer Linked to Anti-Hate Group, May Be Watching You Right Now
Beyonce has reportedly become the victim of a new celebrity hacker.
Rather than exposing nude photos of the singer, however, as past hackers have done to such stars as Emma Watson, this online criminal apparently stumbled on something even more revealing.
And far more troubling:
Documents and text messages seem to prove Beyonce and Jay Z are behind an organization that keeps a close eye on all Beyonce-related chatter and activity around the world.
Haven’t you ever wondered why Beyonce was able to drop a secret album in 2013?
Not just drop the album, either, but write the songs and record all the tracks without a single word leaking to the public.
Or how the artist managed to shock the public not once, but TWICE with her pregnancy announcements?
Heck, Beyonce released an entire set of songs (the album “Lemonade”) about her husband’s alleged infidelity, even giving Jay Z’s mistress a nickname (“Becky with the Good Hair“)… without anyone ever learning her identity.
The information obtained in this recent hacking purports to explain why.
Beyonce is able to control her narrative to such an impressive extent because she has eyes everywhere. She has ears all across Hollywood.
The singer and her rapping other half are accused of funneling money across numerous channels (spy agencies, drone manufacturers, their own set of hackers, etc.) in order to stay one step ahead of all Beyonce gossip and news.
They focus especially on websites that are about to publish any anti-Beyonce pieces or newspapers that are thinking of trashing the singer’s latest performance.
“U got intel on The Sun music critic?” Beyonce writes in one text uncovered by this hacking.
“Yes. On it. He won’t be h8ting after we threaten to reveal his gambling debts,” Jay Z writes back.
“Wut about TmZ story?” Beyonce asks in a separate text.
“There’s a better chance of you and Kim Kardashian spending Christmas together than that story seeing the light of any day,” he replies.
There’s also an invoice on Beyonce’s phone from a company called No Baysayers Allowed that references charges for “Hard Drive Wiping,” “Paparazzi Camera Smashing” and “Perez Hilton Stalking.”
If the idea of a shadow corporation clapping back against all stories that do not fit Beyonce’s agenda sounds familiar, it’s because Saturday Night Live aired a beloved sketch in 2013 about “The Beygency.”
It featured host Andrew Garfield playing the role of someone who actually doesn’t adore Beyonce.
The unusual horror, right?!?
As soon word leaks that such an individual exists, a group of men in dark suits and bowler hats sets out to make sure this critic’s opinion does not leave his house.
They aim to silence him; to show him the error of his ways; to keep the dangerous situation under control and Queen Bey admired by all. And we mean ALL.
Beyonce actually reacted to the skit the day after it aired, simply writing “Haaaaaaaaaaaa” on Twitter.
But insiders say that the singer was laughing at all of us.
She supposedly planted the idea for this entire segment, figuring it would throw folks off the scent of her actual Beygency.
There’s no way people would suspect her of running such a cabal if Saturday Night Live treated the concept as a parody… right?
Alas, Beyonce and Jay Z have now been exposed.
They are yet to comment on accusations that they bribe judges, blackmail reporters and use whatever means necessary to silence anyone that dares challenge their editorial authority on every aspect of their lives.
And do you know why they are yet to comment on this allegation?
Why they are yet to say a word about the charge that hackers busted into their phones and found damning conversations and documents?
BECAUSE IT’S NOT TRUE! WE MADE IT ALL UP!
HAPPY APRIL FOOL’S DAY!
We got ya, didn’t we?!?

Fifth Harmony Taunts Camila Cabello, Releases New Group Photo
New year. New Fifth Harmony.
About a month after the group got rocked by the news that long-time member Camila Cabello was busting out on her own, the four remaining women have made it very clear that they’re ready to move on.
Via Twitter, Ally Brooke, Normani Kordei, Dinah Jane and Lauren Jauregui have unveiled a brand new group photo.
They captioned the following image “Twenty Seventeen.” But let’s be honest:
They might as well have captioned it “Eff you, Camila!”
Just look at the expressions on those faces above, with one tongue being stuck nearly all the way out.
In mid-December, Cabello left Fifth Harmony under dubious and controversial circumstances.
The group made it sound as if she took them by complete surprise when she announced her departure, confirming the news in a statement that read:
“After 4 and a half years of being together, we have been informed via her representatives that Camila has decided to leave Fifth Harmony. We wish her well.”
Short and not very sweet, right?
The women were making it very clear that Cabello was not even professional or mature enough to tell her colleagues that she was departing in person.
Or even to do it herself.
The statement continue:
You Harmonizers have been there with us since the beginning, you’ve supported us, and with your love and support, we will continue on.
That being said, we are excited to announce that we will be moving forward with the four of us- Ally Brooke, Normani Kordei, Dinah Jane and Lauren Jauregui for our fans.
We are four strong, committed women who will continue with Fifth Harmony as well as our solo endeavors.
We are excited for our future, and we can’t wait for what the new year brings. Harmonizers, we are in this together. We love you with all of our heart.
But the situation then devolved into into a They Said/She Said when Cabello fired back with her own statement.
She said that the group was absolutely aware she was leaving.
“I was shocked to read the statement the Fifth Harmony account posted without my knowing,” Cabello wrote, adding in further detail:
“The girls were aware of my feelings through the long, much needed conversations about the future that we had during tour. Saying they were just informed through my representatives that I was ‘leaving the group’ is simply not true…
“As sad as it is to see this chapter ending this way, I will continue to root them all on as individuals and as a group, I wish nothing but the best for them, all the success in the world and true happiness.”
Cabello then confirmed her plans to go solo in the near future.
Finally, Fifth Harmony did acknowledge that Cabelo had approached them about leaving back in November.
They even said they tried to convince her to stay.
But she never responded in any kind of attentive manner.
“After months of rejection from her and her team, these supposed lengthy conversations in fact never happened, although we pleaded,” the group’s follow-up statement read.
“We have tried with exhausted efforts and hearts to keep this group alive as the five of us, and we want it to be very clear that unfortunately those efforts were not mutual.”
This breakup is making the Brangelina divorce seem amicable.
We look forward to new music from both sides in 2017.
