The casts of RHOA and Married 2 Med have been going back and forth.
Longtime fans of “Married to Medicine” and “Real Housewives of Atlanta” have probably been confused about why the ladies from both shows are clashing. The situation kicked off after Phaedra Parks had a messy departure from #Married2Med. She said the OGs were a group of mean girls. They have a track record of treating new people on the show terribly throughout the years. Phaedra isn’t the first former cast member to express this point of view. Regardless, Dr. Jackie Walters and the others vehemently disagreed with her assessment. Jackie concluded Phaedra’s skin wasn’t thick enough to be in the circle.
Dr. Simone Whitmore clapped back at Phaedra during her latest appearance on “Watch What Happens Live.” She said Phaedra is returning to RHOA to reunite with Porsha Williams, “the number one mean girl” at Bravo. Andy Cohen was confused by this. But Simone insisted Porsha’s mean girl status was cemented when she assaulted Kenya Moore years ago at the reunion.
Porsha clapped back at Simone during an interview with the Breakfast Club and her recent WWHL appearance. She said Simone was reaching and she’s been pretty mean on M2M. Now Toya Bush-Harris has added to the tension with comments she made about the peaches.
During an interview with Virtual Realitea, Toya was asked if she watched the RHOA Season 16 premiere. She answered yes. Then it got really shady.
Toya Bush-Harris shaded the RHOA cast.
Toya said, “Absolutely. I did. I liked it a lot. It was a lot of Botox and fillers…which I am not mad…I saw Nicki Minaj on there. I saw Lil Kim.”
When one of the interviewers asked Toya who she was referring to, Toya answered, “You know, those two ponytails and the other one was like this smile…that was a lot for me.”
She added, “It’s a lot to watch. It made me feel like I was watching this beautiful, Black soap opera.”
After Toya’s comments started to make rounds on social media, Porsha responded in the comment section of The Neighborhood Talk’s page. She wrote, “To be honest, the girls from ‘Real Housewives of Atlanta’ have always supported the other Black shows on the network and for me definitely, ‘Married to Medicine’ and to see her as a Black woman talk about the features and pick a part Atlanta is really kind of sad.”
Porsha continued, “We may shade one another on our show but we keep it in-house. We haven’t been out here tearing down someone else’s. Let’s do better. Let’s all win ❤️.”
Toya didn’t take back anything. She replied, “Girl stop! You called another Black woman ashy! (@kenya ) …not to mention you were a tad shady to our franchise under a @phaedraparks post. You and I both know how these interviews go… I definitely stated a balanced view of the good and bad. Don’t jump on the bandwagon.”
RHOA newbie Brit Eady responded.
Brittany Eady shared her thoughts on Toya’s comments as well. She wrote, “It’s unfortunate the ladies from M2M look to tear our show down but always want support from the Black community, lead by example. It gives MEAN girls or salty because Phaedra is gone off their show. I still wish them well regardless of the hate.”
Dr. Heavenly Kimes is the latest to enter the conversation. She took to her YouTube channel to apologize to the RHOA cast on behalf of the “Married to Medicine” cast.
“I want to apologize to the girls on ‘Real Housewives of Atlanta.’ I want to apologize to them because we should not be speaking on them. We should not be. I want to apologize for Simone, I want to apologize because she said some things on ‘Watch What Happens Live.’ I think Toya said some things about the girls on ‘Real Housewives of Atlanta.’ And I think they’re retaliating or whatever.”
She continued, “I just want to apologize because we shouldn’t be speaking on them. Porsha’s right. We should be uplifting each other. And I wanna thank them, honestly. First and foremost, I want to say I’m proud of y’all. I’m proud of you ladies. This isn’t what y’all usually get from Dr. Heavenly but I mean it when I say it. I’m proud of you ladies. Y’all did the darn thing. Y’all had a great premiere episode. It was amazing. I want to congratulate Shamea. Shamea is so humble, so humble and beautiful, y’all.”
Heavenly also said she learned the importance of supporting one another from Kandi Burruss. Kandi has supported all of Heavenly’s businesses. And so have the other Atlanta housewives, so she is not going to come for any of them (outside of Phaedra whom she still considers a costar for now).
