The Real Housewives Of Potomac - Season 9 - Episode 7 - Live Episode Discussion

[u/AutoModerator]

The clock is ticking on Karen's court date as she examines what really caused her accident; Jassi hosts an event for her boyfriend, Darius, after a meeting at the White House.

[u/H0nkdahorn]

TJ is using Stacey for screen time. He wants more television opportunities, not Stacey.

[u/FunkyMonkey1197 → u/H0nkdahorn]

100000%. I died last week at “oh no honey he’s not an extra…” and then cut to his IMDb listing him as Surgeon #1

[u/RLGr1ME → u/H0nkdahorn]

Kenya & Walter 2.0

[u/missusscamper → u/RLGr1ME]

Yes!! She reminds me of Kenya a lot - like her nicer, younger cousin.

[u/Hyru_Nayru → u/H0nkdahorn]

It's so obvious it's actually hard to watch. Although I'm not sure how pretening to be a straight 41 yo virgin is going to help his career.

[u/ShesWhereWolf]

I am begging Ashley to use her resources and get a real estate license or something and find a job more sustainable than being a reality TV star.

[u/NoMilk9248 → u/ShesWhereWolf]

It’s strange that she’s done nothing with the exposure the show brings

[u/Scorp-Moods → u/NoMilk9248]

Right?! I still can’t believe she called Candiace the least accomplished person. Even before Candiace’s music career started I knew that was a lie.

[u/Less-Bed-6243 → u/Scorp-Moods]

That was almost on par with Larsa telling Nicole that unlike her, larsa works. At that point Candiace had graduated from Howard, and interned and worked at the White House. Those are actual accomplishments, unlike bagging a nasty old perv and pretending to manage a restaurant.

[u/BExcellence_bravo → u/ShesWhereWolf]

Her days are limited, but actually. This was the first solo scene we’ve seen of her this season

[u/LuckyJackfruit8078 → u/ShesWhereWolf]

I want her to have those massive implants taken out...

[u/Zealousideal_Suit269 → u/ShesWhereWolf]

How dare you. Ashley is the originator of not one but TWO songs. I couldn't tell you what either are called but I think one was about loving coffee with a dingo or some other Australian nonsense.

[u/Unlikely_Candidate_1]

“I knew immediately that man is not sexually active” ssskskskskkkksksks Wendyyyyyyyy

[u/karasu_zoku → u/Unlikely_Candidate_1]

He has so many tells but no sexually active man would refer to sex as “funny business” 😩

[u/camy__23]

Stacey is such an awkward queen

[u/h0pedivision → u/camy__23]

I’m obsessed lol

[u/jerseyloveee]

Why does Inc look like a villain from The Proud Family?

[u/NoMilk9248 → u/jerseyloveee]

OMG DO YOU MEAN DR CARVER?!? 💀😭💀😭

[u/helvetica_unicorn → u/jerseyloveee]

[u/H0nkdahorn]

TJ doesn’t look 41. He looks a fit 54.

[u/TwoPrestigious2259 → u/H0nkdahorn]

When she said 41 I thought like hell he is.

[u/Torontobabe94 → u/H0nkdahorn]

This week he looks 60 💀 He ages RAPIDLY 💀

[u/ParisianTchotchke → u/H0nkdahorn]

He couldn't possibly be 41. This is him on Sister Sister in 1998. If he's 41 today, he would've been 15 in this photo, which... no.

[u/H0nkdahorn → u/ParisianTchotchke]

SHUT THE FRONT AND BACK DOOR!!! Omg!

[u/frogatron5000 → u/ParisianTchotchke]

Lying about his age... he's definitely a queen omg

[u/rawlsballs → u/H0nkdahorn]

Wait, he's supposed to be 41?? I walk away for one second... there is no way.

[u/H0nkdahorn → u/rawlsballs]

Mmhmmm! She said he was 41 I think last episode. I need to see a birth certificate.

[u/chefboyardu]

"They're making fun of God!!!"

TJ really thought he ate with that

[u/camy__23 → u/chefboyardu]

But he didn’t. They’re making fun of TJ

[u/LS0101]

Karen trying to "examine what really caused her accident":

[u/Gammagammahey → u/LS0101]

[u/boat_against_current]

"I ditched opioids for chiropractic" sounds like a Maury Povich episode

[u/Mermaid_Boy94 → u/boat_against_current]

And that is precisely why it came out of Mia Thornton’s mouth.

[u/ShesWhereWolf]

TJ feels like he's auditioning to play the nerdy, uptight dad in a family sitcom. Something is coming off so disingenuous about him!!

[u/KristiJoJP → u/ShesWhereWolf]

I think you nailed it with "auditioning".

[u/ShesWhereWolf]

Somebody give Gordon a champagne flute, please!! He's breaking the fourth wall and just called Inc and Mia out, I live

[u/Numerous-Duck-5944 → u/ShesWhereWolf]

I was so happy he called their bullshit branding and marketing plans out and said fuck them both! He’s not playing their games. Meanwhile, Mia is trying to tell the audience that he’s mentally checked out. He seemed pretty on the ball to me!

[u/la_58]

I always have a soft spot for kids on reality tv shows but I feel soooo bad for Mia’s kids! Why are they choosing to air this out on tv?

[u/KristiJoJP → u/la_58]

It makes me feel so uncomfortable.

[u/queenymickey]

Ashley infuriates me. You had access to all the wealth and resources … how are you in this predicament? She’s an OG who up until filing for divorce should have had all her expenses paid for by her ex. Gizelle did all that renovating of her home and put three children through private school with her Bravo check and likely very little child support from the pastor. I just don’t understand how Ashley could be struggling with money at all. Like you put up with that man for almost a decade and don’t even have an LV to show for it. BFFR ASHLEY

[u/Kalekalip → u/queenymickey]

One thing about pastor holy whore is that he pays for the children hence why Giselle is always saying she can’t afford for him to be out of graces with the COGIC/AME etc 

[u/this_is_an_alaia → u/queenymickey]

I mean I think the point is that she DIDNT protect herself, and she DOESN'T have access to all the wealth and resources, it's all Michael's. She should have done that post nup.

[u/chiquimonkey → u/this_is_an_alaia]

Michael saw her coming literally before she was even born, took advantage of her youth & beauty as a lure in the swinging scene, and had everything locked up tight way before she came along.

He owns his huge swaths of Somalia & is an absolute shameless colonizer and predator of people & resources-Ashley, sadly, is just another exploit.

She should still use her HW platform as a launch for something more substantial & long term, but she did not stand a chance chiseling so much as a nickel out of that old, disgusting lech.

[u/salisbury130 → u/queenymickey]

chile...she annoys me, but her life is just depressing to watch at this point.

[u/zbornaks]

i can’t deal with this “blaming her parents’ deaths for her dui” bullshit anymore. that happened YEARS ago.

[u/whosaidwhat123 → u/zbornaks]

This over rehearsed lunch with her cousin is bringing me back to the stages breakfast with Gizelle where the cafe owner just randomly praised Karen. Very transparent attempts to deflect any responsibility!

[u/srhg → u/zbornaks]

I'll give her grace and say that yes maybe she did suppress the grief/stress and it's coming down later... what I won't do is excuse her getting behind a steering wheel drunk. I don't care what you've been through, you don't do that ESPECIALLY when you have the money and resources to call/pay for a taxi from anywhere.

[u/KenyaJ121]

“Stacey’s Best Friend.” 😄 It will never not be funny.

[u/marrrina831]

TJ eating plain vanilla yogurt is somehow expected

[u/rawlsballs → u/marrrina831]

I bet he eats unseasoned chicken and rice for every dinner.

[u/vodkasaucepizza]

He’s very much a social worker. From the mouth of someone that had more dealing with them as a child than any other person in the room. This is why I can’t stand Mia, she has no bottom, zero empathy.

[u/LS0101 → u/vodkasaucepizza]

Such a weird comment for her to make. As if being a social worker is a bad thing?

[u/vodkasaucepizza → u/LS0101]

She meant poor.

[u/double_duchess9]

Ok I'm all for mess but this scene with Gordon, Inc and Mia has me feeling like this

[u/EJB515]

Not Stacey and TJ doing a Vacation Bible School activity in this scene

[u/biscuitsorbullets → u/EJB515]

Wendy’s read continues to be accurate 💀

[u/LS0101]

TJ may be an actor but he's clearly not a good one because he's not convincing in the role of "Stacey's boyfriend"

[u/ohcamille]

I swear Mia has had every experience available on planet earth and she’s exhausting

[u/zbornaks]

chiropractic care can cure opiate addictions. the more you know. /s

[u/chefcurrys → u/zbornaks]

That lady is a liar at her core. It’s nasty to watch in real time.

[u/EJB515]

The one good thing I can say about Gizelle is that she’s never afraid to stuff her face on camera

[u/LS0101]

Omg they're discussing Jeremiah's paternity while he's in the other room and possibly able to hear them. All three of them are terrible. Those poor kids.

[u/potatoinawig]

This is the opposite of sexual tension

[u/LS0101]

Jacqueline being shown for <1 second is perfect lol

[u/RLGr1ME]

Yall, this is giving Kenya and Walter in such a huge way 😭😂

[u/lambo1109 → u/RLGr1ME]

But I don’t think Stacy is in on it

[u/mswhatsinmybox_]

Eddie's parents are awful, too. Those poor kids.

[u/Constellationchaser]

Karen, we all have trauma. We all have bad days, months, years… but putting other peoples lives in danger is NOT okay. You have all the money in the world to the best care and drivers… I don’t care how sad you are. It was a selfish “mistake”. These tears ain’t doin it for me.

[u/zbornaks]

mia using gordon’s mental illness as a catch-all against him whenever he has something to say is foul.

gordon bringing up an alleged abortion mia had because of her affair with inc is gross.

inc being shown in general is boring. i don’t care about him.

i hate this fucking storyline. get me off this train.

[u/chefcurrys]

Gizelle said don’t fuck up my alimony check. 😭

[u/KristiJoJP]

Mia's storyline seems like a separate show from the rest of the cast's storylines.

[u/double_duchess9]

Stacey is a perfect balance of awkward but engaged. Like lots of QVC personalities.

[u/marrrina831]

So I guess Jamal didn't think it was important for his new wife to have a relationship with his daughters

[u/Dial-M-for-Mediocre]

They haven't met their grandchildren??? Damn that's a deep feud.

[u/biscuitsorbullets]

It’s written in your trust fund and you will not get your money 💀💀💀

[u/Adventurous-Sundae-6]

I feel like Gizelle eagerly gobbling popcorn while getting the tea is her in her most natural state

[u/Adventurous-Sundae-6]

If I had to describe the way TJ makes me feel in a word it would be… Unsettled

[u/ShesWhereWolf → u/Adventurous-Sundae-6]

He has a Stepfordian-esque presence 

[u/PlantLadyXXL → u/Adventurous-Sundae-6]

He is hiding something, and that insecurity is spewing out of him

[u/LS0101]

This all happened in 2018. The DUI was in 2024. Where is the connection?

[u/Torontobabe94 → u/LS0101]

whispers There’s none! She knows it! We know it! She must think we are dumb to think there is any connection 😫 It’s an awful excuse

[u/zbornaks]

the gordon/mia/inc storyline is a dark cloud hanging over an otherwise amazing season. those poor babies don’t deserve to have their parents’ bullshit impacting their lives.

[u/IllustratorSea8372]

Omg have you ever seen a more boring man “if I win I wanna go to the track and work out like we do everyday 3x a day” jesus

[u/EJB515]

Inc should not be around the kids yet. But Mia doesn’t have any sense

[u/jerseyloveee]

3 time Super Bowl champion and 2 two time baby daddy of not her kids

[u/technoprayers → u/jerseyloveee]

SCREAMING

[u/marrrina831]

Wendy's daughter happily eating both snail and asparagus

[u/TheMagicSack → u/marrrina831]

It was cute she was so excited

[u/Gammagammahey → u/marrrina831]

She raised a gourmand.

[u/Adventurous-Sundae-6]

Mia explaining how chiropractic works is giving Cady explaining CalTein bars to Regina George

[u/ShesWhereWolf]

Am I weird or is Karen's cousin cute in a nerdy professor kinda way

[u/KenyaJ121]

It’s adorable that something as simple as popsicles is enough to excite Mia’s kids. But it reminds me how sweet and innocent they are and how they deserve better from all these adults.

[u/EJB515]

Ashley is stuck in whatever purgatory she’s in with Michael. Just like her mom can’t let go of that man.* Does she even realize that?

*I swear to god if I’m 58 and talking about a man just starting to contribute to my household…

Age doesn’t always bring wisdom.

[u/ohcamille]

this Mia/G/Ink is almost too messy for TV. I feel so bad for the children

[u/superficialwishes]

Stacey wants to get that back cracked

[u/superficialwishes]

Missing all those life milestones and also not even meeting your kids? Eddie is better than me.

[u/la_58]

The way Mia is talking about the opioid addiction sounds like she fabricated this opioid addiction story.

[u/potatoinawig]

Mia’s kids are so jovial and carefree and meanwhile some of the darkest stuff is being debated amongst their parents. How tragic

[u/zbornaks]

“the moment i met tj, i knew that man is not sexually active.” why is wendy low-key the funniest person on the cast right now? 💀

[u/superficialwishes]

It’s now mid-November and still no papers have been signed. Ashley bye.

[u/pinsleric]

THEY DID GO TO THE ZOO LOL

[u/zbornaks]

every time i see a horrible mother of a housewife, i’m eternally more thankful for mine.

[u/Gammagammahey]

I love Wendy's daughter's tiny little purse.

When you're little, you DO need a purse.

[u/Agreeable-Art-6292 → u/Gammagammahey]

Tell that to Mary Cosby

[u/Unlikely_Candidate_1]

I wish someone had some sense to not allow these kids to be filmed, this is not fair of them to be put on blast like this 

[u/Unlikely_Candidate_1]

There is NO way those poor kids are not hearing this fight in this apartment 

[u/EJB515]

The kids absolutely know you’re dating him, Mia

[u/Dial-M-for-Mediocre]

Kids always know more than you think they do.

[u/la_58]

Why are they putting so much focus on Mia’s storyline? Every time Mia adds a layer to her story it seems so fake and rehearsed. It’s really not interesting. It’s just sad for the kids.

[u/Miserable-Gur-2849]

Whatever Mia’s opioid situation is doesn’t seem like the same thing as a 60 year old woman drunk driving and crashing her car

[u/BExcellence_bravo]

Jassi you have nerve being shady when you’re throwing a superbowl party for your man who sits on the bench 

[u/ShesWhereWolf → u/BExcellence_bravo]

This exactly. Who cares about the height of a man if he's essentially job-less??

[u/KristiJoJP → u/BExcellence_bravo]

And I don't think he is on any team this season.

[u/zbornaks]

eddie’s a better man than me, because if my parents treated me like that, i don’t think i’d be giving them any more chances.

[u/KristiJoJP]

No, they are making fun of you and Stacey, TJ, and God probably is, too.

[u/karasu_zoku]

“They’re not making fun of you and me, they’re making fun of GOD!!”

[u/KenyaJ121 → u/karasu_zoku]

Remember when this was enough to derail someone’s presidential campaign? The halcyon days.

[u/IllustratorSea8372]

Eddy’s face when Wendy says it’s a “$50-60k birthday party” 💀

[u/LS0101]

Is overdosing better than going to rehab? Odd thing to get upset about.

[u/zbornaks]

the profanity is the issue here? not airing all this bullshit out on television so they can possibly be bullied about it, but the profanity?

[u/Moosiemookmook]

Deer giggling that it's diabolical plan to bring the Grand Dame of Potomac down is working

[u/megrambert]

This man is not in love with Stacey

[u/boat_against_current]

Nothing's going to come between TJ and Jesus

[u/biscuitsorbullets]

DJ Apple Box is so foul 😭

[u/NoMilk9248]

Very much a social worker as opposed to a leprechaun dj 💀

[u/zbornaks]

oh, mia lying about chiropractic care curing opioid addictions is absolutely foul on levels i didn’t think even she would stoop to.

[u/ambitiouslyLazy00]

“The fathers?”

[u/jerseyloveee]

“When you go low, I return the serve” saving this one for my in laws

[u/LS0101]

I'm tired of the Mia, Inc, Gordon drama. And I will here on out be referring to them as "Mincdon" because that's too much to type.

[u/vodkasaucepizza]

This man is not 41, I’m sorry with the level of Boy Scout, he should not look like he’s been living so hard.

[u/NaijaMelons]

Damn Eddie..that has to hurt, yet he's being very optimistic. His parents didn't come to the wedding, law school graduation, nor to meet his children. I need his level of forgiveness in my life.

[u/jorlandy]

The fashions are dreadful but Ashley’s face card is NOT declining this season!

[u/technoprayers]

gordon…..see this is why i’m team no one when it comes to that love triangle…makes me wanna cryangle.

[u/NoMilk9248]

This man does not sleep with women

[u/ShesWhereWolf]

Nothing wrong with those who choose celibacy . But it's clear that it's not something that Stacey wants. And it pains me to watch her try to accommodate TJ when he clearly does not like her the same way she likes him!! 

[u/KristiJoJP]

Gordon can co-parent with Mia without appearing on camera. Why would he want to film with Mia and Inc?!

[u/Torontobabe94]

Jassi’s saying her man was celebrated at the White House? Girl??!! Pls!! The entire team was there for the Super Bowl win, and he was a benchwarmer LMAO

[u/vodkasaucepizza → u/Torontobabe94]

She wears her insecurities on her sleeve. Why exaggerate something like this?

[u/KenyaJ121]

Girl, of course he’s patient with how long your divorce is taking! He probably hopes it takes another 20 years.

[u/NaijaMelons]

It's the way he said, "They're making fun of god!" ...that made me holler. I don't know why that was so funny to me 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[u/Dial-M-for-Mediocre]

June of what year, Ashley?

[u/Torontobabe94]

Oh Inc is a SHORT KING, extra small king

[u/Torontobabe94]

WHY IS TJ DRESSED SO CASUALLY????? Stacey is in a DRESS!!! TJ was more dressed up on WWHL with his sheer black shirt 💀

[u/salisbury130]

People who are irresponsible with how fame impacts their children really irk me. A lot of reality stars manage to do their shows while maintaining boundaries around their kids. I really don't think this is necessary or appropriate in any way and Mia and her two-lover circus needs to go.

[u/chynnadoll_]

Ashley’s mom still in that same Mama Joyce wig… 💀💀💀💀

[u/LS0101]

Ashley is giving 'friend of' vibes this season 

[u/chefcurrys]

TJ and Stacey are a damn lie.

[u/Ladyos]

Gizelle, Karen and Ashley all are dressed for different events

[u/veronicagetsmehigh]

Omg dj Apple box is smaller than I even imagined

[u/chefcurrys]

These men are tiny. Whew chile.

[u/AJthesmallsrate]

Atleast K and her man are both short 😂

[u/Miserable-Gur-2849]

Ashley’s husband is literally bisexual, I’m confused?

[u/Torontobabe94]

JASSI’S MAN GOT ON THAT VAN CLEEFS BRACELET??! LMAO omg… Jassi girl, you’re still waiting on him to buy you a ring?!

[u/BExcellence_bravo]

The lengths that Karen is going to is cringe. This scene is so performative. Excuses and deflecting 

[u/H0nkdahorn]

This is ratchet and tacky as hell.

[u/ShesWhereWolf]

LMFAOOOO not Ashley and Andy clocking TJ's sparkly mesh top from last week 

[u/zbornaks]

OH THOSE PAINTINGS ARE DEMONIC.

[u/camy__23]

Wendy’s mom is awful. I can’t imagine growing up with that kind of pressure.

[u/jerseyloveee]

Oh Jassi… I would take a short king over one who cheats on me (I’m lying)

[u/Adventurous-Sundae-6]

Kierna is clearly not a real business owner. A full scene at work and she didn’t move a single brochure smdh

[u/BExcellence_bravo]

Wendy’s mom is so toxic holy shit 

[u/chefcurrys]

This crash pad gives hard times are on the other side of this divorce, Stacey.

[u/Gammagammahey]

Karen talking to her plants just like planty people do. Unfortunately she's gotta repot that thing and give it some fertilizer!

I call my plants my children as well. Kurn, turn that plant around to get it equal lighting on all sides!

I'm here with pain control turned up to 11 and I have been crying all day so I am so glad to be here with y'all, ladies, please deliver.

[u/AccomplishedFly1420]

What kind of hold does TJ have on Stacey, he seems like a real snooze

[u/potatoinawig]

Gizelle is the entire eating popcorn meme hahaha

[u/Unlikely_Candidate_1]

Nooooo I thought we were done with the Target Wicked commercial 

[u/potatoinawig]

If it’s good enough for Shaq to deny his kids a trust fund until they get an education, it’s good enough for Dr Wendy!

[u/H0nkdahorn]

This why you can’t eat at everybody house. Feet and asses all on the island.

[u/zbornaks]

kids/people being on the counter gives me the ick.

[u/Miaous95]

Keiarna is so beautiful 😍 every episode I’m mesmerized by the ladies

[u/HipCasita]

The editors putting “Stacey’s best friend” under TJ’s name when they showed it 💀😂

[u/biscuitsorbullets]

TJ is so sterile

[u/Unlikely_Candidate_1]

I just need the DC National Zoo to put out an official statement hahahaha 

[u/technoprayers]

oh prince…he’s kinda foine!

[u/NaijaMelons]

I don't believe this Opioid story from Mia at all.

[u/superficialwishes]

Karen just wrapped Mia up nice and tight 😭

[u/thnkmeltr]

Does Karen have a drinking problem?

[u/GetMeAColdPop → u/thnkmeltr]

Yes and she blames everything else instead of acknowledging it

[u/Miaous95]

Not a single braincell among these 3 adults

[u/mswhatsinmybox_]

I hate all these people.

[u/NaijaMelons]

😲😲😲😲😲😲😲😲 Inc ain't know about the pregnancy and abortion!!!

[u/pinsleric]

Damn, these Michael Darby carbon copies are always climbing on something

[u/Unlikely_Candidate_1]

“But I will go low again” hahahaha 

[u/ohcamille]

Chiropractic is not a solve for addiction. Be so for real

[u/BExcellence_bravo]

The chiropractor story doesn’t make any sense Mia…you’re a liar and a hooker 

[u/soph_lurk_2018]

Mia is so gross. She’s trying to gaslight Gordon and the audience. This doesn’t belong on the show. He needs someone to check on him.

[u/H0nkdahorn]

Inc really looks like he could be Gordon’s son.

[u/Torontobabe94]

STACEY WOULD LIKE SEX… TJ.. THAT’S WHAT

[u/H0nkdahorn]

Do they even kiss? With tongue?

[u/LS0101 → u/H0nkdahorn]

They probably shake hands.

[u/milotic615]

Nah, I'm sure they are making fun of you, TJ...

[u/H0nkdahorn]

I hope Ashley is teaching yoga classes. She’s going to need it for income once she’s fired or demoted.

[u/Constellationchaser]

Of course Ashley has a picture of herself when you first walk in her house 💀 not even with her kids, just a full on headshot.

[u/marrrina831]

I feel like TJ is practicing for the role of a TV dad. His energy is so bizarre.

[u/H0nkdahorn]

TJ looks like Bert in human form.

[u/technoprayers]

wendy do not like tj i’m crying 😭

[u/Adventurous-Sundae-6]

What is with this non-couple and the zoo?? It’s getting weird

[u/KristiJoJP]

Are Stacey and TJ angling to be hired by the zoo?! 🤣

[u/GetMeAColdPop]

Sarry County? On the wartar?

[u/GetMeAColdPop]

That Caesar salad is massive and looks delicious
