Gizelle has more to say to Robyn.
As the women get together for breakfast, Gizelle and Robyn go outside to talk amongst themselves. Meanwhile, Karen tells Candiace that she thinks it was distasteful for Gizelle to be critical of the fact that Chris is now managing her career. But Candiace said she came to the conclusion that Gizelle is uncouth a while ago.
Gizelle tells Robyn that she doesn’t want her to lose Juan. And she just wants to understand why Robyn is in such a funk. For Robyn, she gets overwhelmed about how successful she can be with her business. She has major retailers interested in her, so she knows she needs to look into getting therapy.
Ashley thinks it’s time to talk to Wendy about the rumors.
The ladies head to the pool to do some aerobics. Ashley arrives at the house while they are enjoying the pool. In a green screen interview, Ashley says she’s been feeling much better after baby number two because she’s been eating her placenta.
Karen fills Ashley in about the things Gizelle has had to say to Robyn, Candiace, and Wendy. And Mia chimes in and says Gizelle should have pulled Wendy to the side to talk to her one on one about the changes she’s made since last season.
When Gizelle talks to Ashley, she says that Wendy’s changes have come out of left field. Ashley says she can agree but Wendy cried because of Gizelle’s comments. But Gizelle says it’s not on her if Wendy got upset. That’s her own inner issues. Ashley says that since she and Gizelle have both been targeted by rumors and it didn’t change them, they should talk to Wendy about this soon.
Wendy continues to grow frustrated.
As the ladies are out to grab a bite to eat, Askale tells Ashley that she missed the drama at dinner. This is when Gizelle asks Wendy if they are still on good terms. Wendy expresses that it hurt her feelings when Gizelle said she lacks substance now.
Gizelle says she apologizes if she hurt Wendy because that wasn’t her intention. In a green screen interview, Wendy says she doesn’t believe Gizelle’s apology is genuine. Wendy goes on to tell the group that Karen really supported her the other night and she’ll always appreciate it. In a green screen interview, Gizelle says that this is weird because Karen doesn’t even like Wendy. And it’s looking like she’s forming a mommy dearest relationship with Karen like Candiace did.
Ashley says that she doesn’t like that Wendy is running with the narrative that people are judging her harshly for getting work done. She stresses the point that the issue is Wendy’s personality is the biggest change. And it’s okay to call this out. Robyn and Gizelle agree, and they say Wendy is making the conversation difficult because she won’t let anyone else talk.
Mia says she agrees with Gizelle, Ashley, and Robyn’s points. This is when Wendy tells Mia that she hasn’t judged her for being a stripper in her past. Mia stresses that she wasn’t a stripper, she was an “entertainer.” At this point, Wendy says Eddie has been her biggest supporter. And she feels the other women are being very judgmental as she breaks down in tears.
Things only get worse.
After having a side conversation with Ashley, Gizelle decides she should be the one to talk to Wendy about the rumors because she’s had to deal with a lot because of Michael’s past actions.
When the ladies get back to their house, their planned whiskey tasting session begins after a man from a nearby distillery (Copper Fox) arrives. Everyone is shocked as Robyn chucks down her 4 samples.
Ashley asks Wendy to come with her so they can talk.
She tells Wendy about the cheating rumors on the blogs. She stresses that no one believes Eddie cheated. And that it’s been questioned if Wendy changed because of the rumors. For Wendy, she feels Ashley and Gizelle are attacking her marriage. Ashley says that’s not what it is and Wendy says that Gizelle could have told her this herself instead of running to other people.
Wendy says she’s read horrible rumors about Ashley, Michael, Robyn, and Gizelle. But it’s telling that they are bringing the false story about Eddie on the show. So it’s on now. She then gets up and goes back to where the others are continuing their whiskey tasting.
Gizelle gets called out.
Wendy confronts Gizelle about the rumors. She tells all the women that no one is about to sit on the show and ruin her husband’s name. And she warns Gizelle not to get her “a*s whooped.” Robyn interjects and asks when anyone said anything about Eddie. Wendy feels Robyn is full of it, and they have a heated moment. Robyn says, “F*ck you,” after Wendy accuses Robyn of just wanting a moment. Then Wendy tells Robyn to, “go f*ck yourself.” She then says that Robyn and Gizelle act the way they do because neither have decent romantic relationships.
Wendy then reverts her anger back to Gizelle. She says that Gizelle’s current life is payback from God for all the nastiness she’s done to people over the years. And everything people said about her was true.
In a green screen interview, Wendy says Gizelle is a miserable person. And to her face, Wendy tells Gizelle she had to have low self-esteem to take Jamal back when he slept around on her with multiple women.
Candiace has had enough.
After Ashley says she’s leaving to head back home, Candiace follows behind her and questions why she brought the rumor to the group. Ashley says it was on the internet and Candiace says she’s never done this to Ashley. At this point, Ashley says that when it came to the big scandal about Michael cheating on her, Candiace was actually the source. Candiace tells Ashley to leave and Ashley walks out of the main house.
Gizelle is still trying to convince Wendy that she’s not being malicious, but Wendy says she’s done with Gizelle. And things wouldn’t have turned out this way if Gizelle had just came to her first about the rumors.
