The Real Housewives of Atlanta Season 8 Episode 15 Recap: Kim Fields vs. Kenya Moore!
Sunday night on The Real Housewives of Atlanta Season 8 Episode 15, the drama and shade-throwing were absolutely off the chain.
We know, right? FOR ONCE!
If you watch The Real Housewives of Atlanta online, you recall that last week, gay rumors involving Kim’s spouse took center stage.
Well, we picked up last night with Sheree Whitfield telling Kim Fields that the women called her husband, Chris Morgan, “fruity or gay.”
Kim’s response? “Chris is a wonderful husband and father and we’ve been together happily for 10 years and it’s good,” she said calmly.
Pretty straightforward, right? If only.
Kenya Moore said, “I don’t think we really care either way if your husband is gay or whether or not you guys are having tax problems.”
Tax problems? What the … anyway:
“You portray like everything is perfect. It’s not really perfect, so we just want the real Kim Fields to show up. You have this wall up.”
“It’s like you’re reading from a script.”
At that point, Kim up and left – still calmly – and later, she told NeNe Leakes and Phaedra Parks that Moore had put a target on her back.
Leakes can sympathize. And help.
“You can never be passive amongst this group of ladies,” NeNe explained to the Bravo cameras. “I’m just trying to help Kim out.”
Phaedra clearly agreed, arguing, “The only way to stop a bully is if you punch them square in the face … we got your back.”
Later, at NeNe’s urging, Kim took it to Kenya head on: “I feel like at some point, Kenya, you’ve crossed a line into disrespect of me.”
“That’s not going to be tolerated.”
“So let’s have no communication or cordial communication, but at the end of the day you’re not going to talk about my family.”
“You’re not going to talk about me.”
Damn. You got served, Kenya.
“Congratulations for being able to speak for yourself,” Moore snapped back, adding, “I don’t hate you. I’m indifferent to you.”
“I have come a long way with a lot of girls at the table. Whether we get there or not, I don’t know. I just am not willing to spend any more effort.”
“If we’re at an impasse, we’re at an impasse.”
Cynthia told Kenya that if nothing else, she owned her an apology for trying to yank her chair out from under her a few days earlier.
That Kenya admitted, “was out of line.”
To see what happened when the topic turned to Moore’s role in the infamous commercial, and how Cynthia and NeNe responded?

Emma Watson to Take Year Off From Acting Because...
Emma Watson just made an announcement that likely made Demi Lovato very proud.
Over the weekend, Lovato slammed Taylor Swift for only donating money here and there, saying her fellow singer tries too hard to be “politically correct” and does not use her platform to truly assist with feminist issues.
But no one would ever say this about Emma Watson.
As well-rounded and as grounded as any young celebrity our there, the Harry Potter star tells Paper Magazine that she is about to embark on a year away from the camera.
She lists two reasons why.
“My own personal development is one,” Watson explains. “My own personal task is to read a book a week, and also to read a book a month as part of my book club.
“I’m doing a huge amount of reading and study just on my own… I’m reading a lot this year, and I want to do a lot of listening.”
Yes, Emma Watson is taking a break from acting in order to read.
But that’s not all.
She wants to read and she wants to educate herself with far grander goals in mind.
“I want to listen to as many different women in the world as I can,” Watson continues.
“That’s something that I’ve been doing on my own, through the UN, the HeForShe campaign, and my work generally. This January, our HeForShe IMPACT champions are ten CEOs who for the first time will be releasing to the media what their companies look like internally.
“So how many CEOs are male or female, the gender wage gap. We’ll be making all of these statements completely transparent, which is huge. It’s never been done before.
“So big companies like Vodafone, Unilever and Tupperware will be standing up to the media and really acknowledging the issues within their own companies and talking about how they are planning to address these issues as HeForShe IMPACT champions.
“I’m very interested and excited to see how that works out. I’ll also take another field trip in the next two or three months. We are organizing a HeForShe arts week, a university tour, and launching the HeForShe website.
“It’s a lot. There’s a lot to do.”
There’s a lot to do when you are a star who cares sincerely about making the world around you a better place, absolutely.
We’ll miss you on the big screen, Emma Watson.
But we wish you the absolute best.
Keeping Up with the Kardashians Season Finale Recap: The Unforeseen
Sunday, on an emotional Keeping Up with the Kardashians Season 11 Episode 13, the E! series’ season finale didn’t disappoint on any fronts.
What did we learn about Kim’s baby, Lamar’s health (and Khloe’s), and Kendall and Kylie’s sibling rivalry? Read on to find out …
Throughout the night, Kim Kardashian (whose pregnancies were both difficult) dealt with complications as she prepared to birth Saint.
There is also the fact that she’s been living with her mother.
During the pats TWO YEARS of construction on her house.
In a rare moment of actual humor, Kim said this is making Kanye West feel like “a struggling rapper living in his baby mama’s mama’s house.”
Of course, it is optional: Kim considered moving into her and Kanye’s other place, a mansion in Bel-Air, but it’s for sale, so they didn’t.
Ultimately, Kris ended up purchasing an apartment for herself so that Kim and her family of four could have more space when necessary.
Pretty much the definition of #richpeopleproblems here.
Meanwhile, Khloe Kardashian was still adjusting to life after Lamar Odom’s near-fatal overdose in a Las Vegas-area brothel in October.
The former NBA star’s wife decided to find Odom a facility somewhere close to her so that she could continue to see him every day.
Khloe, as he know, is an honest person with no filter, but struggled with media attention regarding this issue, given its personal nature.
Meanwhile, big sisters Kim and Kourtney accused Khloe of getting Botox because her “whole face changes” when she laughs now.
All kidding aside, Khloe did wonder if all the stress about Odom was playing a role in some of the changes in her physical appearance.
Speaking of stress, Kendall Jenner asked that her family not attend her Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show debut due to the “media frenzy.”
Kris and Caitlyn Jenner did end up going, while Kylie Jenner sat it out as Kendall requested … and was dubbed “jealous” by tabloids.
Talk about a no-win situation, are we right?
Kylie, in turn, became “lagging and being snippy” when Kendall didn’t clear this up, and increasingly “passive-aggressive” about it all.
Fortunately, they talked it out and made up. Because family first, and especially with these two girls, you can’t break that kind of bond …
