I don't know what was more shocking this week on RHOA, the lies told or the truths revealed! 

After Monique made her splash debut as the newest "friend" on the show, her husband Chuck made his appearance. He contacted Phaedra and NeNe about going back to their old town of Athens, GA to give back to the Boys and Girls club. The visit went well, but Chuck shouldn't have introduced NeNe and Phaedra as a top actress and lawyer, because it simply isn't true. Fake introductions aside, they gave inspirational speeches about becoming more than your small town and it was really nice. 

On their way back to Atlanta, Chuck revealed that he had more on his mind than giving back to their community when he contacted them. He confronted Phaedra about what she told his wife, painting a very different story than the one Phaedra gave Monique. First, he clarified that they did have sex, even though Phaedra originally claimed otherwise. She didn't even try to deny it. He says that although she said they "dated" she was just a jump off and he never took her on a date, calling her part of his team of groupies!  Then he even denied that he dated Kandi, a person that he clearly had a relationship with! He painted an ugly picture, with himself as the catch/big honcho to two desperate girls. What an ugly person! 

Cynthia's sister Malorie invited herself into Peter and Cynthia's home and planned to stay for the next two months. Considering that she doesn't have the best history with Peter, Cynthia wasn't exactly jumping up and down at the news. Peter really wasn't at all happy to see her, and really, can you blame him? Even though Cynthia told her not to cause trouble, she made a smart remark about Peter's new car during their first interaction! Apparently, they've been having marriage issues and everything just imploded when their new houseguest barged in. Neither of them are happy, and Peter compared their relationship to a job that he doesn't want to show up for! I'd like to say that I hope they work it out, but it really seems like these two are headed for divorce court. 

Despite her recent promise that she was done getting involved in Kandi's relationship, Mama Joyce decided she had bring up the situation yet again. While sitting in Derek J's chair, a service Kandi was likely paying for, she felt the need to be dramatic about a recent doctor's appointment and declare that the little bit of life she has left, she's living it for herself and can't be worried about Kandi's. Kandi was like duh, that's all I wanted! Something tells me that she'll be back in Todd and Kandi's business soon enough. 

Porsha moved into a 800 sq ft, 6 bedroom house, making what she called a "believe in Porsha choice". Her family questioned whether she consulted her accountant on the purchase, basically asking "can you afford this"? and she pretty much said no. If Kordell's support checks stop coming in, she won't be able to make the payments on her house. The smart thing to do would have been to rent a single girl apartment instead of buying a house big enough to fit a large family. When will Porsha learn? 

Next week Phaedra fills Kandi in on everything Chuck said, Kenya's dad visits, and Kandi and Todd argue. Stay tuned!
