The Real Housewives of Atlanta Recap: Kandi Burruss' Birthday Blues
The Real Housewives of Atlanta had another party this week, this time for Kandi's 35th birthday. Unfortunately, a surprise guest upsets Momma and THG is here to take you through all the drama in our +/- recap!
First we get to recap last week's drama when Peter and Apollo nearly came to blows at Kim's baby shower. Kim's ticked and rightfully so. Next time she'll remember to "keep the ex-cons and a$$holes off the guest list."
But Phaedra steps up and earns a big Plus 10 showing up to Kim's with a gift basket and an apology. She may not have been able to stop the men at the time but at least she did the right thing coming forward and saying she was sorry.
Neither Cynthia or Peter bothered. Heck, they were five hours late and didn't even send a gift. Minus 15 because that's just beyond rude.
Speaking of Cynthia, try as she might to mend fences they just seem to burn. She calls her sister over to talk to Peter about the incident at her wedding a year ago. Who could have guessed this wouldn't go well? Minus 10.
You can't force people to make up and nothing got accomplished here except for dredging up bad memories that won't soon be forgotten.
Later, Cynthia and her sister argue about Peter's new bushiness venture. Unfortunately, Cynthia doesn't know her sister is right.
Bar One is in financial trouble before it's even begun and Peter's going to look to his wife to bail him out. Minus 9 because that's just going to widen the divide between Cynthia, Peter and her family.
Kim's getting prepared for the big event. No, not another party.
She talks to Phaedra about what it was like when she had her son. Phaedra says she had an epidural, morphine and was "crazy as a vampire in sunlight." Plus 5 for being honest but let's hope Kim has an easier time.
Having had only girls, Kim's concerned about having a boy and takes some lessons on diapering a circumcised baby. She's nervous about what to do with a penis. Plus 7 to Kroy who already seems to be a pro with the diaper detail.
Surprisingly Kim's not the only one wondering what to do with the penis in the room. Thanks to Phaedra, Kandi's 35th birthday went from an elegant rooftop affair to a strip show and masturbation tutorial.
Before we go there, I have to ask if anyone else thought NeNe was going to fall out of that dress. I know the cleavage was plentiful at this party but something about NeNe's outfit had me worried about a wardrobe malfunction. Minus 6.
Kandi, Phaedra and some of the other guests enjoyed the stripper but NeNe and Kandi's mom ran out of the room. Minus 8 because this really wasn't the venue for such a spectacle and although it was ridiculous, NeNe and momma overreacted.
And poor Kandi was left feeling like a scolded five year old on her 35th birthday. Minus 10. Better luck with birthday number 36.
EPISODE TOTAL: -36. SEASON TOTAL: -25.

Kandi your mom was right,but she is grown and i don't think you were trying to disrespect your mom. And about what was said about the blk baby talk, i think that kim should go back and look at the tape of that show. I was looking at it and Mrs.Bailey was the one who made that comment, and that manly lookin sharee need to worry about that so called house building thing with no "$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$" LOL

Kandi I am surprised that you would allow Phaedra bring a stripper in to your party, You should have felt disrespected also. Your mom had every right to be angry. You never allow any of your friends to disrespect your mom. All you had to do is ask phaedra about the surprise, would it offend anybody, especially your mom. Who wants to look at a naked man, it was vulger. I love you but it was wrong. I lost respect for you.

I love you Kandi, but your mother was right. To me on your 35th birthday it was very inappropriate to have a stripper, and big disrespect. Phaedra was very disrespectful to your mom. I am surprised that Nene did not stay, everybody that had any class should have walked out. I feel your show gives a bad name for black women just because they have money, it seems to go to their head, I believe a man that causes division in a family, is not the one for you.Why all of you stop using so much profanity. I love you girls, I love Nene, but girl just because you got money, do not be proud, stay humble.I feel Nene you come on strong because you are very insecure, also you want to be loved, but you push people away, you do not want to be hurt. Kandi keep it clean.

Kandi's mom over reacted big time!!!! Kandi didn't know the stripper was going to be there. The stripper was a surprise from Phaedra! Of course Phaedra didn't have her mother nor husband there because it was a party for "young adult friends" Joyce should have gone to brunch or dinner with Kandi earlier in the day to celebrate and then allow Kandi to celebrate at 35 with her friends! Joyce said she doesn't want people to think she parties with her daughter but every time I see her she's almost at every event with the ladies celebrating. Kandi's mom acted like a spoiled brat. She should have pulled Kandi to the side and expressed how she felt and then left but she had to create an unnecessary scene by having a temper tantrum. Funny cause in the next scene she half naked on national tv looking for a man on a website yet she doesn't want people to think she and her daughter party together. She wants to be respected as Kandi's mother but she sits and talks about sex and everything under th

i don't feel it's Kandi's fault.Phaedra should have told Kandi what she was doing or tell one of the other's.Then she could have set it up where mama Joyce wouldn't be around on that part.I agree about partying with your mother,in this case it wasn't what was brought to the party it was what he DID.That should have been for the AFTER AFTER party(would have loved to see it 3D.yes,i do agree Peter is abusing mentally and financially. I think Peter and Nene are too close they kiss more than Cynthia and Peter.I think Cynthia need to do her thing in the NY.Nene is my girl,but they do say $$$ changes your mood and attitude but damn change your hair too. She came back with busted hairdo compared to last popular do.

ALL You people who think this is about Kandi being 35 years old -- DON'T YOU SILLY PEOPLE KNOW you never get too old to respect your own mother. It is your responsibility to respect your mother (AS PHAEDRA DID) and to make sure others show her respect. Letting someone do a blow job in front of your mother is about the lowest form of disrespect I've ever heard of. Kandi's mother was trying to leave but was not able to get out before the porn started. I guess you people think Kandi's mother should have been quicker getting out of the room. Kandi -- not Phaedra -- should have stopped this nasty, disgusting display of pornography as soon as she could tell what was going to happen. IF KANDI HAD ANY RESPECT FOR HERSELF AND HER MOM, SHE SHOULD HAVE STOPPED THE SHOW UNTIL EVERYONE LEFT THAT WANTED TO LEAVE. THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR THIS. YOU CAN BE 35 YEARS OLD, 135 YEARS OLD, 235 YEARS OLD -- YOU ARE NEVER TOO OLD TO SHOW RESPECT FOR THE PERSON WHO RAISED YOU AND TOOK CARE OF YOU UNTIL

its nothing wrong with celebrating your only child's bday with. But the "SOUTHERN BELLE" Phaedra brought a gay a*s stripper that sucks his own d*ck to the party with straight men/women in attendence but i dont remember seeing her mom and husband in the audience. even though Kandi & her mom has that open relationship doesn't mean that respect is out the window by either the daughter or friends. Phaedra was wrong as hell that's why she sat at the table with the sh*t-face while Ms Joyce snapped & sent an apology with Kandi instead of letting Kandi's mom know personally. I wouldn't have brought Kim a present for her baby shower either because she talked mad sh@t about Cynthia/Peter's wedding, brought her own wine
and she didn't bring a present to Cynthia's wedding. So what goes around comes back around but it is a B#@ch when it happens to you. Regardless of how anyone else felt about Cynthia's wedding they all brought a gift and was supportive. She the only Bi#$h came with the fu

MOTHERS ARE NEVER OUT OF LINE. WHAT KIND OF PERSON WOULD DISRESPECT THEIR MOM LIKE KANDI DID. PHAEDRA DID NOT OWE KANDI'S MOM RESPECT -- KANDI DID. GOD CREATED MOTHERS TO COUNSEL THEIR CHILDREN AND TELL THEM WHEN THEY ARE RIGHT OR WRONG -- KANDI WAS WRONG AND HER MOTHER SHOULD HAVE TOLD HER ABOUT IT -- JUST AS SHE DID -- RESPECTFULLY. ALL OF YOU PEOPLE WHO THINK MS JOYCE OVERREACTED HAVE NO RESPECT FOR YOUR MOTHER. TELL ME WHICH ONE HAS LET THIS TYPE OF THING GO ON IN FRONT OF THEIR MOTHER. I'LL BE NOT ONE.

I feel that a mother shouldn't party with her children anyway, it's ok to have an open relationship with your mother. Joyce should have never talked about sex toys with Kandi.That boundaries should have been established already, so Joyce does not have much respect for herself.Joyce should be a mother not her daughters homegirl.
Kandi should not bad it wasn't her fault and she was caught up in the moment and should not been responsible for keeping up with her mom she should not been there. joyce didn't like it and she left good for her. It's not a matter of respect I like Kandi she's cool she should set boundaries for her mother. Nene use to be a stripper she is just ashame of her past and thats ok,and she did the right thing just left, Nene and Peter hooked up later. Cynthia just dumb as a box of rocks. Peter just married her so she would be his personal loan officer.
