On the latest episode of “Real Housewives of Atlanta,” Dennis and Drew respond to the dating rumors. Here are the highlights for, “Hot Dogs & Hot Mics.”
Porsha calls out Drew.
The episode picks up with Shamea asking Drew if she is dating Dennis. Shamea explains it was rumored Drew and Dennis was boo’d up in a club while wearing matching outfits.
Porsha mentions Dennis invited her to Drew’s birthday party. Drew says the party was a surprise and she didn’t expect it. But Dennis is like a brother to her and an angel on Earth while she’s been going through her divorce. She would never cross that line. Porsha asks a producer if she can break the fourth wall. She then says Drew is low down because she tried to film scenes with Dennis behind her back. And she’s done a lot for Drew so this doesn’t sit well with her.
None of this makes sense to Drew.
Drew is also called out for trying to set up a photoshoot for Porsha’s Go Naked Hair brand without Porsha’s permission. Porsha says this goes against Drew’s contract.
The other ladies look on in confusion. Kenya thinks this is really about Dennis. Either way, Porsha wants nothing more to do with Drew. The ladies end the conversation there and go back out to finish Shamea’s birthday celebration.
Angela and Charles have four children. She owns a financial consulting firm and is a self-made millionaire. Angela also owns multiple properties.
She and Charles met in Chicago. They began dating 10 years after meeting. When she recaps the drama that went down with her daughter and Charles, she says she wouldn’t want any of her girls to work with an ex either. But she understands why Drew wanted to collaborate. So she sees both sides.
Porsha and Kenya are in a good space.
Kenya and Porsha have come a long way. Since their feud happened years ago, they saw no need to hold grudges. So they are working on a friendship. They discuss Drew and Dennis. Porsha doesn’t want her coparenting relationship with Dennis to be damaged by him being on TV with her again. She is traumatized by how messy their scenes were on “Porsha’s Family Matters.”
They also talk about Porsha’s estranged husband Simon. He’s been slamming her on social media. She alleges he wasn’t faithful. She found out she was his fifth wife.
Divorce has been a strain on Kelli’s business.
Kelli started her successful restaurant Nana’s Chicken & Waffles in 2016. Her ex-husband closed one of the locations in Conyers, Ga. That caused a financial strain she is working to get out of. Her dream is to start a franchise. She learned how to cook from her mother and grandmother. Her ex allegedly has never paid child support unless it was court ordered. So she wants to show her daughters how to create generational wealth on their own.
Brit and Mike married during the pandemic. So Brit couldn’t have her dream wedding. Mike was Brit’s client while she was an insurance agent. She eventually created an insurance agency.
Shamea gives and receives some support from her former surrogate.
Shamea visits her former surrogate, Shadina. She owns a surrogacy agency with Dr. Jackie. Shadina was previously a surrogate for Kandi. Shadina was 32 weeks when she was diagnosed with breast cancer. So Shamea’s daughter Shiloh had to be born early. Shamea was pregnant recently but had an ectopic pregnancy. While she did value having a black doctor, now she just values having a doctor who listens.
She had several rounds of IVF. Shadina will help her find a surrogate.
Porsha confronts Dennis.
Kelli and Brit chat. Both are confused by Porsha’s treatment of Drew. They discuss Kelli’s messy divorce. Her ex-husband allegedly stole $500,000. Things even got physical and cops were called.
Shamea, Drew, and Angela meet at the gym. Drew maintains her relationship with Dennis is strictly professional. Angela accuses Shamea of acting like Porsha’s assistant by asking Drew if she was dating Dennis for Porsha. Shamea says she asked the question for herself. In a green screen interview, Drew says a picture of Shamea would be next to the definition of lapdog in the dictionary.
Porsha and Dennis watch their daughter Pilar play before addressing the Drew situation. Dennis says his relationship with Drew is just business. Porsha becomes emotional and walks off, complaining that no one is loyal to her. She has a hot mic conversation with Dennis. Porsha tells Dennis he’s not supposed to film with anyone but her.
