The peaches address Brit’s absence and a possible alliance in part 1 of the “Real Housewives of Atlanta” reunion. Here are the highlights.
The group is shocked by Brit’s absence.
The reunion kicks off with Andy highlighting Brit’s absence. Everyone is surprised she is a no-show. Porsha confirms she spoke to Brit the night prior. Brit told her she was coming and her husband, Mike, would be there as well. So Porsha didn’t expect her not to attend.
Shamea and Kelli planned to confront Brit for her actions throughout the season. In particular, Shamea alleges that Brit has told lies about her. So she wanted to clear things up.
Phaedra wishes Brit had at least called her for support. She still looks at the group as some sort of sisterhood.
Drew says the last time she heard from Brit, Brit said she planned to sue her because she suspects Drew helped Kenya get her lick back at her salon opening. But she hasn’t heard from Brit’s lawyer as of yet.

Porsha denies calling ICE on Simon.
Porsha’s messy divorce is discussed. She was happy to get the marital home. Porsha and Simon signed a prenup, which was enforced by the judge. Simon purchased the house before he married Porsha, but the property was still considered a marital home according to the prenup.
She confirms Simon was detained by ICE. But she denies having anything to do with it.
Shamea says Simon and her husband, Gerald, did have a good relationship. Double dates happened. However, she and Gerald pushed Porsha to do her research on Simon’s finances because they heard some not-so-good things.
Porsha feels like she did do her due diligence before marrying Simon because they took 9 months to finalize their prenup.

Kelli and Porsha clash.
Andy reads a question from a fan of the show. They want to know if Kelli asked Porsha why she “stole” Simon out of concern or to be messy. Kelli answers that she did what she did out of concern. Porsha strongly disagrees. This leads to them clashing.
Porsha says she and Kelli went through messy divorces in which their exes aired out their business online. So she thought Kelli would be more supportive since they were going through similar situations. Kelli doesn’t like the comparisons. She says she was married for 11 years, while Porsha was only married for 11 months.

Drew accepts Porsha’s apology.
Porsha’s comment about how she should sleep with Charles is brought up. She regrets saying it and felt the need to apologize to Angela.
The topic then changes into Shamea possibly telling Angela that she introduced Porsha and Simon. Shamea denies saying this. She says she was there when they met, but she did not hook them up. When Andy asks Porsha if this is true, Porsha hesitates. She then says no and that she’ll continue to bear all the backlash she’s received.

Drew’s appearance on a podcast is brought up. Andy asks if she stands by her comment that Porsha’s return was a flop. Drew says she stands by what she said because Porsha used her for a storyline because she couldn’t legally discuss her divorce. Getting in the studio with Dennis was strictly business, and she didn’t appreciate Porsha insisting she was sleeping with Dennis.
Drew says Porsha pokes the bear and then gets upset when she responds.
Porsha gets up to hug Drew and admits she regrets filming with Ralph to get even. Drew appreciates this.

An alliance?
Brit and Kelli’s fallout is the next segment. Kelli thinks Brit is responsible for their friendship falling apart. She didn’t like that Brit continued to use her stylist. This was weird to her.
Porsha chimes in and says Brit told her that she, Shamea, and Kelli had an alliance. At some point, they all agreed to “take down” Porsha.
Shamea says they did have an alliance, but Porsha was in it. Porsha strongly disagrees and says she’d never be in an alliance because alliances hurt the show.

Angela still believes Phaedra was behind the Marcus of it all.
The allegation Brit made about Kelli having an abortion while she was married is also addressed. Kelli says a former stylist told Brit this to be hurtful, but the information given to Brit was incorrect.
The Marcus situation is up next. Angela strongly believes Phaedra was behind it. She pulls out a folder and insists that Phaedra’s brother is friends with Marcus’ sister. They all went to the same school as well. However, Andy thinks this isn’t evidence. In response, Angela questions why he is so quick to side with Phaedra, knowing her past actions. She poses the same question for Porsha as well, questioning why Porsha still trusts Phaedra’s word when she nearly got them both kicked off the show several years ago.
The episode ends on a cliffhanger.

What are your thoughts on part 1 of the reunion?
Boring and Phaedra did that sh-t.
Phaedra didn’t do that. Marcus and his friend Alex have revealed that Angela actually set the whole thing up herself. There’s even audio evidence that Angela is the real culprit.
Edited audio is not evidence. Marcus is a convicted sex offender and Phaedra has pulled this same exact stunt several times, once to NeNe. They aren’t credible sources. Y’all need to stop believing criminals and liars. That’s exactly why Trump is president. No one has common sense anymore. Phaedra did that sh-t. Marcus will be sued. The rest of y’all should be sued too for repeating the lies.
Oh please! The conspiracy theories pulled out every time Phaedra does the snake stuff she does is so annoying! I can’t stand this fan base!
Porsha only hugged Drew because she was getting embarrassed. I think her and Phaedra are overhyped housewives now. They don’t really bring value to the show anymore. Just boring liars.
This season was so awful! They made a big fuss about Phaedra coming but she gave absolutely nothing!
We all knew Phaedra wasn’t a good look coming back on this show. It was a setup from what I see 👀. Once Kandi left Bravo and production decided it was good to bring Phaedra back along with Porsha…what a RAW deal
