Robyn and Gizelle respond to Monique’s binder.
Gizelle says that she and Jamal are fine. They have communication issues but they are working on things. They have been through a lot. So things don’t seem too tough to get through now. Candiace says Jamal should have been there to answer to the allegations made by Monique himself. Regardless, Gizelle says she isn’t too worried about infidelity like she was in the past.
The ladies then take a break for lunch.
Robyn and Gizelle discuss the binder. They accuse Monique of having too much time on her hands.
As for Monique, she tells her husband Chris that she’s just returning the energy she’s been receiving.
Ashley discusses the state of her marriage.
When the ladies come back on the stage, they talk about the latest cheating allegations against Michael. He won’t be at the reunion because he had a wedding to go to. Regardless, Ashley says they have moved past it. And they are excited about baby number two.
Ashley says that when they were separated, she entertained other people. So she hasn’t been the best wife. But their marriage is not open.
They then discuss Katie’s Instagram post in which she said slept with someone on RHOP. Ashley says it was not her.
When it comes to the hotel situation, Michael says he didn’t do anything physical with the woman. Candiace interjects and says they had s*x.
But all Ashley can do is trust Michael and give him the benefit of the doubt.
Gizelle is over Karen.
Karen says she supports Ashley and Michael working on their marriage. Andy asks if that’s the case also with Jamal and Gizelle, and Karen says it’s just so many accusations about them.
At this point, Gizelle doesn’t think they have a real friendship. She doesn’t even want to have a relationship with Karen anymore. And Karen doesn’t think Gizelle and Jamal have a real relationship.
Old footage involving Michael comes up.
Andy brings up past footage of Michael grabbing a producer’s butt. The video went viral on social media recently. Ashley says it wasn’t that serious to her. And that Michael had a flirty relationship with the producer he grabbed.
The producer said this butt grab wasn’t consensual. And it was uncomfortable.
Candiace says this makes it seem as if he really did grab the cameraman’s butt, too.
Before they move on from the discussion about Michael, Ashley reveals that she no longer has a prenup. But they were discussing doing a postnuptial which they haven’t done yet. She also says she’s leaving Michael if he cheats on her again.
Karen and Ray hashed things out.
Andy brings up Robyn saying that Karen said she has a “disdain of Ray’s d*ck.” Karen says she didn’t say this.
She also says that she did end up having an honest conversation with Ray about helping him pay his taxes. Karen realized that she needed to let the anger go because he’s always supported her in the past.
The rumor about Baby Chase is brought up.
Andy asks Monique about it being said that there was a plot to bring a rumor that Chase isn’t Chris’ biological son. And this was discussed at a dinner after Andy’s baby shower.
Gizelle says that they did discuss this but there was no plot to bring it on the show.
Monique points out that Gizelle brought up the trainer and Chase’s paternity in a green screen interview, but producers cut out the scene. Andy says that means it still wasn’t on the show. But for now, they will revisit this topic later.
They discuss the altercation.
Monique says she was set off after Candiace swirled her hand under Monique’s chin. Andy, Wendy, Candiace, Robyn, and Gizelle say this didn’t happen. Producers then insert footage of this happening.
The assertion that Candiace threw a wine glass at Monique comes up. Andy and the others say this didn’t happen.
Monique says she didn’t let go of Candiace because Candiace had a broken wine glass in her hand and tossed it at her. Producers then insert footage, again.
Monique then asks if they need to see proof that her dentist had to fix her tooth due to the wine glass hitting her. No one wants to see this.
And Andy once again says there is no footage of a wine glass being thrown at Monique.
Candiace needs a timeout to process her hurt.
Andy points out a difference in both women’s emotions. Candiace is crying, Monique seems just fine. After Candiace leaves the stage and says she can’t discuss this, Monique explains why she’s not emotional. She tells Andy that they missed her going through the steps because she didn’t really film that much after the altercation.
