Latest / Reality with The King / Phaedra Parks is BACK and RHOP Reunion SLACKS
Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Two people from Mayor to Medicine won't be back on
- 0:05Speaker 1: the upcoming season of the show because one person doesn't
- 0:10Speaker 1: want to come back. At least that's what I was told,
- 0:14Speaker 1: and the other person allegedly was fired. Stay tuned, we'll
- 0:22Speaker 1: be right back after these quick ads.
- 0:27Speaker 2: Welcome to Reality with the King.
- 0:35Speaker 1: It's me Carlos King, the King of Reality TV and
- 0:39Speaker 1: one of the most sought after executive producers in reality
- 0:42Speaker 1: television with over ten years a production experience.
- 0:46Speaker 2: Once a week on Reality with the King, we'll.
- 0:49Speaker 1: Sit down with my friends across the entertainment industry, recap
- 0:53Speaker 1: our favorite reality shows and revisit unforgettable moments that we
- 0:57Speaker 1: are still talking and tweeting about. So let's get into
- 1:05Speaker 1: the Real Housewives of Potomac Part Child?
- 1:08Speaker 2: Was that Part three, four or five? Like? That was
- 1:10Speaker 2: a long reunion? I feel like I was not much
- 1:13Speaker 2: pregnant child. That's how long.
- 1:15Speaker 1: This reunion was. Where do I begin? This reunion was
- 1:22Speaker 1: not reunioning. This season was unseasoned.
- 1:30Speaker 2: Come on, now, this.
- 1:31Speaker 1: Season needed some lurries, some pepper, a splash of salt.
- 1:37Speaker 2: Baby, it needed some flavor. I know.
- 1:40Speaker 1: I said weeks ago that this current season was the
- 1:44Speaker 1: second worst season of Potomac history, because the first one
- 1:47Speaker 1: was in the worst of the.
- 1:48Speaker 2: White u Banks dreadful.
- 1:51Speaker 1: I think this may be the worst season of all
- 1:54Speaker 1: time for Potomac. I cannot believe that a show that
- 2:00Speaker 1: was once my favorite show on Bravo of course, second
- 2:05Speaker 1: behind Maritime Medicine. You could not have ever told me
- 2:09Speaker 1: that Potomac would be in its whack era.
- 2:13Speaker 2: I never thought I'll see today.
- 2:15Speaker 1: I thought after season one that they learned their lesson
- 2:19Speaker 1: below and behold, they give us more bs.
- 2:22Speaker 2: This reunion could have been one part.
- 2:24Speaker 1: Y'all could have put the rest up on BravoTV dot com,
- 2:27Speaker 1: along with Ramona showing her duplex apartment up in the
- 2:31Speaker 1: sky like that. This could have been a WE episode.
- 2:34Speaker 1: This was not a good reunion by no means. But
- 2:37Speaker 1: let's get right into it. Mia and Jacqueline Mia once
- 2:41Speaker 1: again miya blah, Yes.
- 2:45Speaker 2: Mia, listen, Mia, at this point, just own it. I
- 2:48Speaker 2: know you mad at me.
- 2:49Speaker 1: Let's just say I'm aware of how Mia feels.
- 2:56Speaker 2: I'll leave it at that.
- 2:57Speaker 1: Mia, your Pandora's box with a flop. You could have
- 3:01Speaker 1: boxed that thing up, went to your backyard, got a shovel,
- 3:06Speaker 1: duck up a hole, put that Pandora's box in the hole,
- 3:11Speaker 1: put the dirt on top of it, because it gave
- 3:13Speaker 1: very pet cemetery tease.
- 3:15Speaker 2: You went to Michael's to have.
- 3:18Speaker 1: The box bedazzled, only to show a receipt that you
- 3:21Speaker 1: then retracted, and you met at me for calling you Mia,
- 3:25Speaker 1: be lion.
- 3:26Speaker 2: If you were.
- 3:27Speaker 1: Going to expose Jacqueline, then just do it. My thing
- 3:31Speaker 1: is this, if you're gonna be that girl, be that girl.
- 3:33Speaker 1: If you're gonna start something, Mia, you have to finish it.
- 3:36Speaker 1: You can't sit up there and then have a certain
- 3:40Speaker 1: wind of morality show up and say, well, I'm not
- 3:44Speaker 1: gonna go there with her, Then why go there at all? Now, look, Noche,
- 3:48Speaker 1: y'all could have zoom Jacqueline and Sharisan the way y'all
- 3:51Speaker 1: did Miss Diana Jekins on Belly Hills. The only real
- 3:56Speaker 1: thing that happened this season was between Mia and her
- 4:00Speaker 1: real friend Jacqueline. That was a real issue with real friends.
- 4:05Speaker 1: Could Let's be clear, no one on that stage are
- 4:07Speaker 1: friends except Giselle and Robin. Me and Jacqueline have a
- 4:12Speaker 1: real friendship that spans over decades, and we only get
- 4:16Speaker 1: two minutes of that, y'all.
- 4:19Speaker 2: Did Jacqueline worse?
- 4:21Speaker 1: Y'all did a scalar like a schalar was on last season.
- 4:24Speaker 1: She was there just because she brought the dress child
- 4:26Speaker 1: and she had to show it off because the designer said, look,
- 4:29Speaker 1: I'm gonna give you credit to wear this dress, but
- 4:31Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to see it on TV. Allegedly, but
- 4:34Speaker 1: y'all break on miss Jaqueline and Mia and gave that
- 4:36Speaker 1: two minutes. Then we brought Sharise out, and y'all know,
- 4:40Speaker 1: I like Chariz. Once again, y'all could have skyped, zoomed
- 4:44Speaker 1: faith time sent a telegram for miss Scheriz.
- 4:49Speaker 2: That was a flop, y'all.
- 4:51Speaker 1: Let Karen dance around that stage like she was on Dancing.
- 4:54Speaker 2: With the Stars.
- 4:55Speaker 1: She danced around every question, y'all did not dig deeper
- 5:00Speaker 1: into what Cherise was really saying.
- 5:02Speaker 2: And let's be clear.
- 5:03Speaker 1: On my podcast, allegedly Karen told the girls if y'all
- 5:07Speaker 1: don't check shares, but being on Carlo's podcast, allegedly she
- 5:10Speaker 1: ain't come to the reunion AnyWho. Once again, we suffered
- 5:16Speaker 1: through a half assed season and the only interesting thing
- 5:22Speaker 1: besides me and Jacqueline were these sort of accusations, if
- 5:26Speaker 1: you will, about Karen. Y'all didn't even give that enough material.
- 5:32Speaker 1: Y'all don't really dig deep to say, Karen, there's been
- 5:35Speaker 1: rumors about you for years, not just this season. The
- 5:39Speaker 1: reason why the producers allegedly brought Cheries back to the
- 5:43Speaker 1: show is because she had dirt on you.
- 5:45Speaker 2: Charise did I beg to come back?
- 5:47Speaker 1: I know for a fact Charisse was brought back to
- 5:50Speaker 1: expose Karen, Allegedly. If y'all listened to my podcast episode
- 5:54Speaker 1: with Scherise, she said that she was contacted by the
- 5:57Speaker 1: producers of Potomac.
- 6:00Speaker 2: I wasn't Karen asked.
- 6:01Speaker 1: Deep questions about like, look, there's been rumors about you
- 6:05Speaker 1: allegedly having all of these sordid affairs on Ray.
- 6:10Speaker 2: We heard it with the Blue Eye guy.
- 6:12Speaker 1: It's constant conversation about it.
- 6:16Speaker 2: Y'all did not even go there with Karen.
- 6:19Speaker 1: I thought, at least the reason why Karen had first
- 6:22Speaker 1: seat is because y'all were going to grill her like
- 6:24Speaker 1: a tea bone steak on the fourth of July at
- 6:28Speaker 1: a family reunion. Y'alln't ask Karen any deep questions that
- 6:33Speaker 1: the audience can take away and say, okay, I.
- 6:37Speaker 2: Now know more about it.
- 6:38Speaker 1: Listen, Do I believe Karen will ever admit that.
- 6:41Speaker 2: She steps out on ray allegedly?
- 6:44Speaker 1: No? But now I see why y'all don't push Karen.
- 6:48Speaker 1: Y'all could have pushed Karen aside and had Kansas sit
- 6:50Speaker 1: next to the host. But what's crazy is Karen got
- 6:53Speaker 1: off Scott Freed Marcel Scott on Love and Marriage Huntsville,
- 6:57Speaker 1: don't even get off Scott Freed.
- 7:01Speaker 2: I can't believe my show is ruined.
- 7:04Speaker 1: This used to be my favorite show because it used
- 7:06Speaker 1: to be so fun and we used to key key
- 7:10Speaker 1: and laugh. I went on a limb and said for
- 7:15Speaker 1: two years in a row that Potomac was the best
- 7:18Speaker 1: reality show of those years. I can't believe we're here,
- 7:22Speaker 1: but chiad, let me move on, honey. Then Chris Bassett
- 7:25Speaker 1: comes on, and I have to say this. Chris had
- 7:29Speaker 1: more decorum than I would have had if I was
- 7:31Speaker 1: in his shoes.
- 7:31Speaker 2: And I'm just being real.
- 7:33Speaker 1: I thought Chris carried hisself like a gentleman. Chris is
- 7:37Speaker 1: the most likable person on that show. We hear constantly
- 7:42Speaker 1: about this environment where men aren't able to defend themselves
- 7:48Speaker 1: in certain situations right.
- 7:50Speaker 2: I've said from.
- 7:51Speaker 1: Day one that I always felt that Chris was dubbed
- 7:55Speaker 1: a bad hand in this and speaking as a man myself,
- 7:59Speaker 1: y'all did Chris And y'all gonna have to explain that
- 8:01Speaker 1: to your sons, to the men and your family. Karma
- 8:05Speaker 1: is real. Y'all saw what happened with Jamal Bryant, y'all
- 8:09Speaker 1: saw what is happening with Wan Dixon.
- 8:11Speaker 2: Why do that to another man?
- 8:16Speaker 1: And listen, I want to say this, Gazelle feeling uncomfortable.
- 8:19Speaker 1: I will always stand by this. If that's how she feels,
- 8:21Speaker 1: we need to honor her feelings. But this ghost is
- 8:24Speaker 1: show you why we all are having issues with this show,
- 8:27Speaker 1: because ain't none of y'all friends. As a producer, I
- 8:32Speaker 1: do believe that when something happens and you're on a
- 8:36Speaker 1: reality show, talk about it on the reality show. I
- 8:40Speaker 1: know for a fact because me and Gazille have a
- 8:42Speaker 1: mutual friend who shall remain nameless. This mutual friend said
- 8:47Speaker 1: to me that she too, was told, maybe a day
- 8:50Speaker 1: or two after the reunion of last season, that Giselle
- 8:53Speaker 1: did tell her she felt uncomfortable. No one is disputing
- 8:56Speaker 1: that Gazelle felt uncomfortable. I think we're all wondering why
- 9:00Speaker 1: it was never a conversation with your friend Candace, Giselle
- 9:04Speaker 1: said out of her own me and Candace were friends
- 9:07Speaker 1: at the time. If you were friends at the time
- 9:09Speaker 1: and you felt that way, this is the part that's
- 9:11Speaker 1: confusing to me.
- 9:12Speaker 2: Why go to everyone else and.
- 9:16Speaker 1: Express how you feel uncomfortable then the person that you
- 9:22Speaker 1: are supposedly friends with, That to me just wouldn't make
- 9:26Speaker 1: any sense.
- 9:27Speaker 2: And then a year later, you go on.
- 9:30Speaker 1: TV after Ashley, who is searching for a storyline to
- 9:36Speaker 1: reveal Chris's DMS about y'all should have came to the
- 9:39Speaker 1: w and you took that as something more than what
- 9:43Speaker 1: it was. Ashley, you are raising two boys, and this
- 9:46Speaker 1: is the issue that we're having with this show. None
- 9:49Speaker 1: of you guys are living real. I said it once,
- 9:52Speaker 1: and I said again. The only ones I think who
- 9:54Speaker 1: really wants to give the reality to the show is
- 9:57Speaker 1: Wendy and Candace.
- 9:58Speaker 2: And I say as child.
- 9:59Speaker 1: Even but Mia, you got me to look at you, Saidee,
- 10:03Speaker 1: because I do feel like you and Jacqueline have something
- 10:07Speaker 1: interesting that I would like to watch. But you gotta
- 10:10Speaker 1: stop kissing ass Mia, and I love you. I feel
- 10:13Speaker 1: like you really want to be with the cool girls,
- 10:16Speaker 1: and the cool girls clearly is Giselle and her crew.
- 10:21Speaker 1: I feel like Mia, who's a newbie, is so desperate
- 10:25Speaker 1: being included in the cool girls club that she truly
- 10:30Speaker 1: doesn't understand that. The reason why the audience is confused
- 10:35Speaker 1: by you is because you have this inability to choose
- 10:41Speaker 1: the side.
- 10:42Speaker 2: In which you really believe is real.
- 10:45Speaker 1: When Candace made that comment about Giselle being white, we
- 10:49Speaker 1: talked about last week about colorism, I saw more passion
- 10:53Speaker 1: from this cast about Candace making a comment calling Gaselle
- 10:57Speaker 1: white than I saw in the Two Men and the
- 11:00Speaker 1: Colorism segment last week. Y'all had way more smoke for
- 11:04Speaker 1: Candace making a comment. And I'm gonna say this, Candace
- 11:07Speaker 1: should not have made that comment. Did I think the
- 11:09Speaker 1: comment was appropriate? I don't think so, But that's my opinion.
- 11:13Speaker 1: You can't fight fire with fire. I feel like there's
- 11:16Speaker 1: more reason to say than to comment on a black
- 11:19Speaker 1: woman's complexion.
- 11:20Speaker 2: That's my opinion. It is what it is.
- 11:24Speaker 1: With that being said, although Candace, in my opinion, should
- 11:28Speaker 1: not have said it. The way y'all have smoke for
- 11:31Speaker 1: Candace was weird to me. Y'all should have had that
- 11:34Speaker 1: smoke last week in that two minute segment, y'all all
- 11:38Speaker 1: raised up out of your seat and them gowns Honey
- 11:41Speaker 1: with the peacock flying and the bedazzled jews falling on
- 11:45Speaker 1: the couch and the rhinestones, and y'all are ready to
- 11:47Speaker 1: check Candace and look. I like the fact that Wendy
- 11:51Speaker 1: is able to tell her friend, like, hey, I think
- 11:53Speaker 1: you were wrong. That's what real friends do, whether or
- 11:56Speaker 1: not Candace was wrong. And there's going to be people
- 11:59Speaker 1: who think Candace was right, and there's going to be
- 12:01Speaker 1: people who think Candace was wrong. What I like about
- 12:04Speaker 1: real friendships is the fact that Wendy felt that she
- 12:07Speaker 1: was wrong, and Wendy is entitled to how she feels.
- 12:11Speaker 1: Let's be happy that we have two friends that can disagree,
- 12:16Speaker 1: because there's more licking ass and kissing ass on that
- 12:19Speaker 1: couch with everybody now holding each other account of bow that.
- 12:22Speaker 1: It was nice to see two real friends say I
- 12:25Speaker 1: disagree with you. I like that. That's what we want
- 12:28Speaker 1: to see from this show. And then Mia, you had
- 12:31Speaker 1: all this smoke for Candace about making that comment. Giselle said,
- 12:35Speaker 1: your business was going through an embezzlement allegedly, and you
- 12:39Speaker 1: sat there and was combing the back of your hair
- 12:42Speaker 1: with your fingers. Gazelle kept saying embezzament as if she
- 12:46Speaker 1: was a producer on Birdie madeoff special on Netflix, and
- 12:49Speaker 1: you sat there and took it. But Candace makes one
- 12:52Speaker 1: comment and you you should never caught a black woman.
- 12:56Speaker 1: I would like to see somebody other than Candace and
- 13:00Speaker 1: even Wendy. I would love to see more people hold
- 13:03Speaker 1: her accountable. And that's why Gizelle gets away with everything.
- 13:09Speaker 1: No one is there to hold her accountable. And that's
- 13:12Speaker 1: the problem with this show. And then Robin talked about
- 13:15Speaker 1: Wan and the wedding from the iPhone six ex edition,
- 13:19Speaker 1: and then Robin said that her and Wan signed a
- 13:23Speaker 1: prenup that.
- 13:23Speaker 2: Is fifty to fifty fifty fifty.
- 13:27Speaker 1: You just as bad as Ashley with a herd non
- 13:30Speaker 1: existent prenup. And you said, because y'all both brought something
- 13:37Speaker 1: to each other, Robin, but you know what that revealed
- 13:41Speaker 1: to me. Wan and Robin have an agreement. Wan makes
- 13:49Speaker 1: these blue moon appearances on Potomac because he knows it
- 13:54Speaker 1: saves his wife's job. They need each other in order
- 13:57Speaker 1: for Robin to stay on the show, and another time
- 14:00Speaker 1: thinking well, Giselle gets away with not having a man
- 14:03Speaker 1: on the show. Listen, there's a stark difference between Giselle
- 14:08Speaker 1: and Robin. The reason why I called Gazelle Kobe Bryant
- 14:11Speaker 1: is because before this season, Giselle would just push story
- 14:15Speaker 1: forward in a very interesting way. Robin knows that she
- 14:18Speaker 1: needs something outside of being Gazelle's psychic.
- 14:21Speaker 2: Wan and Robin are in on the joke.
- 14:24Speaker 1: I believe that their marriage is a marriage of convenience
- 14:29Speaker 1: courtesy of the show. In my opinion, if Robin was
- 14:32Speaker 1: to ever get fired from Potomac, I believe that her
- 14:36Speaker 1: and Wan will be divorced in a couple of years.
- 14:39Speaker 1: When I see Robin and Wan together, I don't see
- 14:42Speaker 1: two people who are madly in love with each other.
- 14:45Speaker 1: I don't see it. Win can't be bothered and no,
- 14:48Speaker 1: not by the cameras. Why cannot be bothered by Robin?
- 14:51Speaker 2: That's why he always yells at her.
- 14:53Speaker 1: He was caught on a hot mic a couple of
- 14:55Speaker 1: years ago telling a producer Robin knows what it is
- 14:59Speaker 1: that whole story, Sorry about why going to the hotel
- 15:02Speaker 1: to payer like Robin? You are giving very Monique and
- 15:06Speaker 1: Derek from Love at the Lockup.
- 15:09Speaker 2: If you like your Robin, I love it.
- 15:11Speaker 1: You and Wan are together for the show and no
- 15:14Speaker 1: one can tell me differently. And then this whole segment
- 15:19Speaker 1: between you and Andy, which y'all could have kept that
- 15:21Speaker 1: as a wepisode to chat on BravoTV dot com. Robin,
- 15:25Speaker 1: you look nervous because it looked like you were reading
- 15:28Speaker 1: a script that Mia wrote.
- 15:31Speaker 2: G So what's my lines again? Okay? Yeah?
- 15:37Speaker 1: He said, wait, wait one second, okay, yeah. He said
- 15:41Speaker 1: that he had to pay the hotel receipt, and.
- 15:43Speaker 2: I believe him.
- 15:44Speaker 1: And this is the reason why I'm happy that we're
- 15:48Speaker 1: done with this season. I am in disbelief that a
- 15:52Speaker 1: show that has so much promise of comedy and interesting
- 15:57Speaker 1: storylines and layers have turn into scandals and allegations. This
- 16:04Speaker 1: is not the show that we signed up for. This
- 16:06Speaker 1: show is in trouble. This is probably And when I
- 16:10Speaker 1: say this, I'm not talking about anybody individually. The collective
- 16:14Speaker 1: cast is by far the most unlikable cast on television.
- 16:19Speaker 1: Y'all aren't filling each other. Y'all don't like each other.
- 16:23Speaker 1: I can't believe I'm about to say this, but I
- 16:25Speaker 1: have to be honest. This show needs to be put
- 16:28Speaker 1: on palls and no, I don't mean New York City's paused.
- 16:31Speaker 2: I think Potomac needs.
- 16:32Speaker 1: To go through a real Housewives of Beverly Hills pause
- 16:36Speaker 1: to where they had like two to three months off
- 16:40Speaker 1: to really figure things out. I don't want to see
- 16:42Speaker 1: the same exact cast next season. I think Ashley needs
- 16:45Speaker 1: to go. I would like to see Jacqueline replace Ashley,
- 16:49Speaker 1: because can I please get two women who are friends
- 16:54Speaker 1: that are going to hold each other accountable, read each other,
- 16:58Speaker 1: give us some rich history, cry make up something if
- 17:03Speaker 1: one isn't on this show full time next season. Robin,
- 17:08Speaker 1: you got to go to baby Giselle. You must take
- 17:13Speaker 1: off the producer hat. You have to get back into
- 17:16Speaker 1: the game. I don't believe Gazelle is into this Winterhouse guy.
- 17:20Speaker 1: I think it's a good look. In terms of social media,
- 17:23Speaker 1: I want to see a real relationship. I don't want
- 17:26Speaker 1: to see no more rented boyfriends. I don't want to
- 17:28Speaker 1: see none of that. We need some mix ups, we
- 17:30Speaker 1: need some fresh blood all around. We need something new
- 17:35Speaker 1: to see and Karen, I love you this grand Don fiasco.
- 17:39Speaker 2: Give it up.
- 17:40Speaker 1: Child, give it up, turn it loose in Vogue. Baby,
- 17:43Speaker 1: you gotta show us something real. I really want to
- 17:46Speaker 1: see what's going on with you and Ray you coming
- 17:48Speaker 1: on on set and looking at people eating the free
- 17:51Speaker 1: meals and giving good interviews only in Confessionals, Karen, I'm
- 17:56Speaker 1: onto your tricks.
- 17:56Speaker 2: Baby.
- 17:57Speaker 1: Karen's good on Confessionals and every once in a while
- 17:59Speaker 1: she gets activated, but I need to see more.
- 18:01Speaker 2: You're an og And the sad part.
- 18:04Speaker 1: Is, I just don't know if you guys are humble
- 18:07Speaker 1: enough to give us that. There was a TikTok video
- 18:12Speaker 1: in a photo the other day of Giselle, Robin, Ashley,
- 18:16Speaker 1: Mia and Cheriz at dinner and the song in the
- 18:20Speaker 1: TikTok was F Bitches Get Money and y'all were dancing
- 18:25Speaker 1: offbeat as usual. When I watched that video and I
- 18:28Speaker 1: heard the song F Bitches Get Money, I was like, Wow, y'all,
- 18:32Speaker 1: just y'all. Don't get it, y'all making people not like
- 18:35Speaker 1: y'all even worse.
- 18:37Speaker 2: F Bitches get money? Who are the bitches? Is it us?
- 18:40Speaker 2: The audience?
- 18:41Speaker 1: Are you saying f us? Is it Wendy and Candice?
- 18:46Speaker 1: Are they the bitches? F them and get money? So
- 18:49Speaker 1: is that what it's all about?
- 18:50Speaker 2: Money? Y'all really think that was cute to post?
- 18:54Speaker 1: I know that at least two of y'all on that
- 18:56Speaker 1: video are not at your best.
- 18:59Speaker 2: As a matter of three of y'all are not at
- 19:02Speaker 2: your best.
- 19:03Speaker 1: And instead of giving us some humility, instead of doing
- 19:07Speaker 1: a video talking about, hey, I want to dress something
- 19:12Speaker 1: that happened apart two reunion, I would like to say,
- 19:15Speaker 1: da da da da. Instead of showing us some vulnerability
- 19:19Speaker 1: and showing the human side of you, I think people
- 19:22Speaker 1: would have appreciated that versus a TikTok where the message
- 19:27Speaker 1: is f bitches, get money and this is what y'all
- 19:31Speaker 1: want us to come back next season to watch, put
- 19:35Speaker 1: the show on pause, and get rid of some folks because.
- 19:37Speaker 2: Some of y'all are too comfortable.
- 19:39Speaker 1: So now that we are free at last, Potomac has ended.
- 19:44Speaker 1: Next week, I am going to do an episode dedicated
- 19:48Speaker 1: to how to make Potomac great again? And I have
- 19:53Speaker 1: a guest who is a fan favorite for my podcast
- 19:58Speaker 1: that My Reality with the King rain Drops and listeners love.
- 20:02Speaker 1: She's a black woman, and we are going to talk
- 20:05Speaker 1: about how to say Potomac and what's interesting about this
- 20:10Speaker 1: conversation next week is the fact that she stopped watching
- 20:15Speaker 1: the show and sadly she has no plans on returning.
- 20:18Speaker 2: And you're going to hear why, child. We are just
- 20:21Speaker 2: getting started.
- 20:22Speaker 1: Stay tuned when we come back from break, we are
- 20:25Speaker 1: going to get into Fadri's presence on Married to Medicine.
- 20:36Speaker 1: This is reality with the King and I'm Carlos King.
- 20:39Speaker 1: Let's get back into the show. If you don't know
- 20:45Speaker 1: by now breaking news, Phaedra Parks is coming back to
- 20:49Speaker 1: the screens. And yes, Faedra Parks is going to allegedly
- 20:55Speaker 1: join Married to Medicine. Let's get right into it, okay.
- 21:03Speaker 1: Fhaja Parks was one hundred percent approached to be a
- 21:07Speaker 1: maritime medicine At the same time, she was also approached
- 21:12Speaker 1: to appear on the next season of The Real Housewives
- 21:16Speaker 1: of Atlanta. The network loves Phaedra, loves her. That's why
- 21:22Speaker 1: you saw Miss Think on Dubai, which I thought was
- 21:24Speaker 1: so random. I'm like, listen, I get that you want
- 21:30Speaker 1: to make fetch happen, which is Dubai, and by adding
- 21:34Speaker 1: Faedra Parks on it would get people to tune in.
- 21:36Speaker 1: Although I don't think that helped either, but it goes
- 21:39Speaker 1: to show you that Phaedra is somebody who the network loved.
- 21:42Speaker 2: They love Fedra, and when Fadra.
- 21:45Speaker 1: Appeared on the Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip, you can
- 21:49Speaker 1: say what you want about Fajora Parks, she is fantastic television.
- 21:53Speaker 1: I hollered the entire season of Ultimate Girls Trip. Phaeder
- 21:59Speaker 1: reminded everybody what a formidable player she is in reality TV.
- 22:04Speaker 1: And this is the beauty of Phaedra. Obviously, as someone
- 22:07Speaker 1: who has worked with her since season three, that's when
- 22:09Speaker 1: she joined along with Cynthia Bailey, I always knew that
- 22:13Speaker 1: Phaedria was a star, that she was funny, and Faedra
- 22:16Speaker 1: definitely has some iconic reads. Whether or not y'all think
- 22:19Speaker 1: it's rehearsed or not. I'm not here to confirm that.
- 22:21Speaker 2: Girls, but.
- 22:24Speaker 1: Phaedra is great television and you can't deny that. Because
- 22:28Speaker 1: she appeared on Ultimate Girl's Trip, it reminded everybody how
- 22:33Speaker 1: great she was on the Real house Squats of Atlanta.
- 22:36Speaker 2: Now, yes, I know what y'all thinking.
- 22:38Speaker 1: Well, Carlos, season nine, you know everything that happened, your
- 22:41Speaker 1: name was involved, although I told y'all I had nothing
- 22:43Speaker 1: to do with it. Dave Quinn, a friend of mine,
- 22:47Speaker 1: wrote the book Now All Diamonds in Rose. It was
- 22:50Speaker 1: also revealed I had nothing to do with that mess.
- 22:52Speaker 1: But again, y'all like to think I'm the messies of
- 22:54Speaker 1: the mess, and that's fine.
- 22:55Speaker 2: I don't really give a shit. But it also goes.
- 22:58Speaker 1: To show you that at the end of the day day,
- 23:00Speaker 1: there could be an opportunity to where there's grace involved,
- 23:04Speaker 1: there's mercy when it comes to that situation. Faedra has
- 23:11Speaker 1: always been talked about to appear back on the Real
- 23:14Speaker 1: Houswalds of Atlanta, and we ain got to go into
- 23:18Speaker 1: detail as to why she's not back on.
- 23:20Speaker 2: I think we all know why. I think it's been
- 23:22Speaker 2: publicly said.
- 23:23Speaker 1: Everybody knows the reason why Fedra isn't on the Real
- 23:27Speaker 1: Housewalds of Atlanta. I do believe you have to have
- 23:30Speaker 1: mercy and graceful people. We live in this world right
- 23:33Speaker 1: now where everybody wants to say never this, never, that was,
- 23:37Speaker 1: she did this, she did that. I'm not the judge
- 23:39Speaker 1: or the jury. Honey, I don't have esquire after my
- 23:43Speaker 1: last name.
- 23:43Speaker 2: Okay.
- 23:44Speaker 1: What I can say is Fedra, in my opinion, deserves
- 23:48Speaker 1: to get back on the show. I as a former
- 23:51Speaker 1: producer and still a fan of the Real Housewads of Atlanta,
- 23:55Speaker 1: I would love to see a conversation between those two
- 23:57Speaker 1: parties take place. Horsha even forgiven Phedra and again Portia
- 24:02Speaker 1: is our own woman. But I also feel like we
- 24:05Speaker 1: were robbed of being told that story. We as the audience,
- 24:09Speaker 1: and I will always consider myself a viewer, We as
- 24:12Speaker 1: the audience, was robbed of not seeing that story being
- 24:16Speaker 1: told and not seeing what it was like to have
- 24:20Speaker 1: two former friends deal with that situation. And it's not
- 24:25Speaker 1: a coincidence that the show has not been the same since,
- 24:29Speaker 1: because I think for a lot of people, what we're
- 24:32Speaker 1: missing from The Real Housewives of Atlanta is the organic
- 24:37Speaker 1: friendships and relationships.
- 24:40Speaker 2: And when you cast these newbies, it takes.
- 24:44Speaker 1: A while to have them clicked into the foundation that
- 24:48Speaker 1: was already set. And the reason why merrit To Medicine
- 24:52Speaker 1: is the best show on Bravo that you're not watching
- 24:55Speaker 1: is because they literally have the same cast members since
- 24:58Speaker 1: season one, and the genius of the creator of this show,
- 25:04Speaker 1: Mariah Hawk, to cast women that she was friends with
- 25:10Speaker 1: that they all knew each other and even when you
- 25:12Speaker 1: brought on doctor. Heavenly, they still knew her even when
- 25:16Speaker 1: you brought on Contessa.
- 25:18Speaker 2: There was an establishment of history there.
- 25:22Speaker 1: What makes Marriton Medicine so great is that, And what
- 25:26Speaker 1: makes real housepossible Atlanta not so great as it used
- 25:29Speaker 1: to be is because they don't have that. There was
- 25:32Speaker 1: conversation of whether or not Phaedra would come back to
- 25:34Speaker 1: Atlanta Housewives.
- 25:36Speaker 2: But I think the parties that be are.
- 25:39Speaker 1: Just afraid to ruffle the feathers, is what I'll say.
- 25:43Speaker 1: And that leads Phaedra a fan favorite of the network,
- 25:47Speaker 1: a fan favorite of the audience, hanging like, what can
- 25:51Speaker 1: we do with this woman? People love her, They love
- 25:54Speaker 1: her so fucking much. She's back on Ultimate Girls Trip,
- 25:58Speaker 1: her Brandy, Vicki, and Eva all returning back to do
- 26:02Speaker 1: another installment because Faedra is special. Fajia's great television. You
- 26:07Speaker 1: can't deny Siss's iconic, funny moments with the blonde wig
- 26:12Speaker 1: and everything.
- 26:13Speaker 2: Faedro was giving us great TV.
- 26:15Speaker 1: And that left people thinking, we have this star, but
- 26:19Speaker 1: we know this star more than likely is unable to
- 26:24Speaker 1: appear on this show that made her a household name,
- 26:27Speaker 1: So what can we do with her? And that leads
- 26:30Speaker 1: us to Faedra being approached to appear a marrit To
- 26:35Speaker 1: Medicine because she is dating a doctor. Now, For all
- 26:39Speaker 1: those who watched Ultimate Girl's Trip, Phaedra did allude that
- 26:42Speaker 1: she was dating somebody, a doctor. She loves him, and
- 26:48Speaker 1: we all were like, well, bitch, you want to see this.
- 26:51Speaker 1: And now it made sense for them to say, you
- 26:54Speaker 1: know what, how interesting would it be to have Fedra
- 26:59Speaker 1: appear on Maritime Medicine because she is dating a doctor. Now,
- 27:03Speaker 1: the headline alone and the press alone, that's going to
- 27:06Speaker 1: get people to tune in. Anyway, This is me putting
- 27:10Speaker 1: on my producer hat, because Mereti Medicine once again, is
- 27:13Speaker 1: the best show on Brable that you're not watching. Fedra
- 27:17Speaker 1: appearing on the show as a full time cast member
- 27:21Speaker 1: may actually get the eyeballs that that particular show deserves,
- 27:26Speaker 1: because the fans of Faedra and the fans of Housewives
- 27:30Speaker 1: of Atlanta, they will stay tuned to see that show
- 27:35Speaker 1: if Faedra is on it. So I think it's a
- 27:38Speaker 1: genius move for marketing. I also think it's a genius
- 27:42Speaker 1: move for Faedra. It's very, very, very challenging for a
- 27:50Speaker 1: former housewife to get a full time job on another network.
- 27:54Speaker 1: It's very hard because most networks likes to brand themselves
- 27:59Speaker 1: as this is what we do over here, and this
- 28:02Speaker 1: is what y'all do over there, and they don't like
- 28:04Speaker 1: to mix it to So with Faedra, who's a great talent,
- 28:09Speaker 1: it makes sense to be back on the network that
- 28:12Speaker 1: made your household name, but to also appear on Mariti
- 28:16Speaker 1: Medicine because it's an opportunity for Faeda to rebrand herself,
- 28:21Speaker 1: to not have the housewife title follow her like a shadow.
- 28:27Speaker 1: It's an opportunity for Faedra to really look back. And
- 28:31Speaker 1: if I was Faedra's manager or publicist, I would say
- 28:36Speaker 1: jump on the chance of doing this. You want people
- 28:39Speaker 1: to forget about you being on Housewives. If you're not
- 28:43Speaker 1: going to come back on the show, what better way
- 28:46Speaker 1: to rebrand your image and go on a show to
- 28:50Speaker 1: where you are also a part of some very funny,
- 28:55Speaker 1: educated black women, whether they're doctors or the wives ofs
- 29:00Speaker 1: that a sense a great cast. So when it comes
- 29:02Speaker 1: to Fedra, this is the part that's going to be interesting.
- 29:06Speaker 1: We all love Mary to Medicine because of the organic relationships,
- 29:10Speaker 1: so that begs the question will Phaedra appear to be
- 29:14Speaker 1: a distraction because she doesn't have an established rapport with
- 29:19Speaker 1: all the women.
- 29:20Speaker 2: So this is what I know. Phaedra and Quad are
- 29:24Speaker 2: friends because.
- 29:25Speaker 1: When we were filming Season eight of the Real Housewives
- 29:29Speaker 1: of Atlanta, we filmed Phaedra going over Quad's house when
- 29:36Speaker 1: she was married to Doctor G. Doctor G and Faedra
- 29:41Speaker 1: are friends and they have history. So courtesy of Phaedra
- 29:46Speaker 1: and Doctor G being friends is how Faedra and Quad
- 29:50Speaker 1: knows each other. So what would make sense is Fhedra
- 29:54Speaker 1: is brought in through Quad. What I don't know is
- 29:57Speaker 1: how deep the rapport goes with Fa the other women.
- 30:01Speaker 1: But what I can say to you, honey, Atlanta is
- 30:04Speaker 1: very small, which is why doctor Jackie is everybody's obgyn.
- 30:09Speaker 2: Honey, that's how small Atlanta is.
- 30:11Speaker 1: You would think, well, all these educated black folks, child,
- 30:14Speaker 1: that you'll have another obg yn. No, they all go
- 30:18Speaker 1: to doctor Jackie. So that is how small Atlanta is. Right,
- 30:25Speaker 1: But this is the gag of the gag gag gags.
- 30:28Speaker 1: So come closer, Yes, turn up the volume, because here's
- 30:32Speaker 1: some teeth for you. Baby. Phaedra ain't cheap. She's a
- 30:35Speaker 1: staple in reality television. So in order to afford Phaedra,
- 30:41Speaker 1: you have to get rid.
- 30:42Speaker 2: Of some people.
- 30:43Speaker 1: And this is where the alleged report. Okay, so allegedly
- 30:50Speaker 1: two people from May to Medicine won't be back on
- 30:54Speaker 1: the upcoming season of the show because one person doesn't
- 30:59Speaker 1: want to come back, at least that's what I was told,
- 31:03Speaker 1: and the other person allegedly was fired.
- 31:07Speaker 2: I'm not gonna name names in.
- 31:09Speaker 1: Terms of who fits which category, but allegedly Contessa and
- 31:18Speaker 1: Anila would not come back to the upcoming season American Medicine.
- 31:25Speaker 1: Word on the street is Contessa and Aniela would not
- 31:29Speaker 1: be returning to the upcoming season of Married to Medicine. Now, look,
- 31:36Speaker 1: I love Contessa. I think Contesta's fantastic television. I think
- 31:40Speaker 1: she's great TV. I'm invested in Contesta and Scott's storyline.
- 31:45Speaker 2: I really, really am.
- 31:47Speaker 1: I thought Contessa fit like a glove when it comes
- 31:50Speaker 1: to the rest of the cast members. And word on
- 31:52Speaker 1: the street is that allegedly she doesn't want to come
- 31:55Speaker 1: back because she wants to do other things. Now with Anila,
- 31:58Speaker 1: I've said this from day one. Anila never made sense
- 32:02Speaker 1: to me. The math wasn't mathing, and the match wasn't matching,
- 32:05Speaker 1: and the cast wasn't casting period.
- 32:08Speaker 2: Point in the blank. Okay.
- 32:10Speaker 1: I always thought that Niela's culture was the reason why
- 32:16Speaker 1: she was hired due to the fact that the creator, Honey,
- 32:19Speaker 1: the legend, the executive producer Marijah Huck brought to the show.
- 32:23Speaker 2: I always felt that way.
- 32:25Speaker 1: Yes, I know she's neighbors with Toya, it still doesn't
- 32:29Speaker 1: make sense, Honey, I'm neighbors with some folks that I
- 32:31Speaker 1: wouldn't hang out with. Okay, so that's not a reason
- 32:35Speaker 1: to be on the show. Okay, Carlo, She's married to
- 32:37Speaker 1: a doctor and what it still did not make sense
- 32:41Speaker 1: for Nila to be on the show. I never felt
- 32:43Speaker 1: that Nila made sense to be on that show. So
- 32:46Speaker 1: Anila getting her walking papers, I think that's a good idea.
- 32:51Speaker 2: No, I'm not an advocate for people getting fired.
- 32:53Speaker 1: But let's be clear, Honey, Aniela and her blog, come
- 33:01Speaker 1: on blog, Anila and her blog, Honey, They're gonna do
- 33:05Speaker 1: just fine because her hobby makes all the money. They
- 33:10Speaker 1: got that big house, and look, she's not going to
- 33:14Speaker 1: be missing any meals. So Anila, Bye bye, Contessa. I'm
- 33:19Speaker 1: going to miss you. But look if Contessa and Anila
- 33:24Speaker 1: are both gone, and now makes room to pay Phedra
- 33:28Speaker 1: the big bucks that look no, she Faedra deserves. Now
- 33:32Speaker 1: here's the kicker girls and guys. Allegedly Quad's ex husband,
- 33:38Speaker 1: Doctor G, has remarried, and allegedly his wife is coming
- 33:45Speaker 1: on the show. Hey, y'all better resurrect married to medicine.
- 33:52Speaker 1: When I say to you, that is genius. And here's
- 33:56Speaker 1: why Phaedra and Doctor G used to date. They're old
- 34:01Speaker 1: college friends. Okay, they have a history together. Phaedra and
- 34:07Speaker 1: Quad are friends courtesy of doctor G. Doctor G and
- 34:13Speaker 1: Quad are exes to bring on this man's new wife
- 34:18Speaker 1: because guess what, Doctor G's wife is married to medicine.
- 34:24Speaker 1: She fits the staple of the show. So Quad has
- 34:29Speaker 1: to be around Doctor G's new wife, which also means
- 34:34Speaker 1: that Quad has to now be around Doctor G, which
- 34:37Speaker 1: also means Phaedra has to be the buffer. And well,
- 34:42Speaker 1: I'm getting oh ooh, this may be explicit an x rated,
- 34:46Speaker 1: because baby, I'm getting hot over the storyline that is
- 34:48Speaker 1: brewing Phaedra, doctor G, Miss Quad, and Doctor G's wife.
- 34:55Speaker 1: If that's what I'm getting, child, y'all can also give
- 34:59Speaker 1: it a some mode.
- 35:00Speaker 2: If that's the case, maybe.
- 35:02Speaker 1: No shade like some old child mag brood for this storyline.
- 35:07Speaker 2: I am here for it.
- 35:10Speaker 1: It is going to be fantastic. The drama, the comedy,
- 35:15Speaker 1: the steaks, the uncomfortableness, the awkwardness, and then we get
- 35:20Speaker 1: to get the new iteration of freaking frack.
- 35:22Speaker 2: Sorry Porsche, but to.
- 35:24Speaker 1: See Hey my bad Porsche.
- 35:28Speaker 2: I love you girl, but look, the new.
- 35:30Speaker 1: Freaking frack is going to be miss Quad and Phaedra Baby.
- 35:34Speaker 1: I cannot wait until this season airs.
- 35:39Speaker 2: And this is the gag of the gaggag gag gag gags.
- 35:42Speaker 2: One of the.
- 35:43Speaker 1: Executives at Bravo did an interview recently and he said,
- 35:48Speaker 1: and I quote, that Meriton Medicine is going through a change.
- 35:54Speaker 1: This is the part that's going to be very interesting
- 35:57Speaker 1: because if you are a fan of Meriti Medicine, you
- 36:00Speaker 1: to ask yourself, well, Carlos, if it ain't brokedn't fix it.
- 36:03Speaker 1: So the question remains, will Phaedra's presence be such a
- 36:07Speaker 1: distraction that it'll lose the organic nature? Okay of why
- 36:12Speaker 1: that show is so great and why that show has
- 36:15Speaker 1: always been so great, and why that show is a
- 36:18Speaker 1: show that people love to watch. My opinion is this
- 36:22Speaker 1: is the change that it needed. So Phaedra, welcome back, bitch,
- 36:28Speaker 1: and I for one cannot wait to see it.
- 36:36Speaker 2: Thank you for listening to Reality with the King.
