On the latest episode of “Real Housewives of Atlanta,” Porsha and Shamea have a sitdown to get to the bottom of their tension. Here are the highlights for, “Let’s Be Honest.”
Porsha and Shamea’s rift leads to a range of emotions.
Shamea and Cynthia catch up. To no surprise, they discuss the tension that has been brewing between Shamea and Porsha. Cynthia hates to see close friends at odds. Their falling out reminds her of her ups and downs with NeNe. It was tough to be so close to NeNe and then get to a point where they wouldn’t speak when they had to be around each other.
Discussing their friendship issues makes Shamea emotional. She wishes Porsha didn’t discuss their tension with the other women. She also tells Cynthia that their friendship is already hard to maintain because their mothers are no longer friends. Shamea feels like Diane badmouths her to Porsha as a result. When producers ask Shamea what caused their mothers to fall out, Shamea refuses to disclose the cause.

Angela spends time with her mother LaMargaret. She and Angela’s sister are moving into a new place. This is disappointing for Angela because she and Charles bought them a home in Atlanta years ago. But they insisted on being more self-sufficient.
Porsha and Shamea hash things out.
When Angela brings up LaMargaret’s fractured relationship with Charles, LaMargaret says she didn’t like how Charles was talking about Angela one day so she confronted him. He said Angela wasn’t cleaning the house enough. LaMargaret didn’t like this. Regardless, she loves Charles like a son.

Shamea and Porsha meet at a restaurant to talk about their issues after they clashed during Porsha’s pampering event. It starts off rocky because Porsha deep sighs while Shamea is expressing her feelings. After Porsha walks off, both agree they don’t like being at odds. They don’t want their friendship to end so Porsha will try to make sure Shamea feels heard moving forward. Both hug it out and seem relieved they may be able to move on from this.

What are your thoughts on the episode? Phaedra will make her first official return to the show in the upcoming episode. Are you ready for Phaedra?
Okay I’m confused why is Shamea playing victim when she caused all of this talking about Porsha to those other girls first? I don’t even like Porsha but it’s weird how Shamea has spun this the way she has. Homegirl may be more calculated than Porsha smh.
Angela I am so sorry for your loss. May the Lord help you all get through this most difficult time 🙏🙏🙏. No I’m not ready for Phaedra boring self. I’d rather see NeNe come back than Phaedra
Porsha isn’t a good friend but neither is Shamea. They are a lot alike imo.
