'RHOP' recap: Stacey blindsided by Wendy after she's questioned for exposing Tia's husband on camera

This is bullshit, Tia. My whole thing was I didn't want to bring it to this platform. I didn't want to do that to you. And you said, well, Stacey's my friend. She told me. No, you did it because you were messy as ****. No, no, no. I'm Danny Murphy. I'm Evan Real. And this beach trip is off to the races and the drama. And I do love that it is fully just raining, I think, every single second that they are down there. I know I feel bad. The forecast was terrible, but this episode was great. I kind of love it because it's like, okay, wait, let's keep the ladies inside. And let's gossip. And let's do drama. Now, what do you think of Giselle's room sharing a wall with Stacey? Giselle did not seem pleased. Well, Giselle's room in general was not cute. It seemed to be the worst room in the house. And I don't know if that's Ashley's response to this new narrative that she's competing to be Giselle's lapdog. Maybe she's trying to make a statement being like, no, I'm not. I'm giving her the worst room in the house. Also... She got a really terrible room the first time they went to Bethany Beach in 2016. At least this isn't a twin bed. So maybe it's tradition to give her the worst room. That's true. At this point. Although Robin, she got a bathroom to herself so she can be on her regular pooping schedule. I guess this is a good PSA for anybody who travels with friends a lot. Just talk about how much you . Yeah. And everyone's gonna give you the en suite. I mean, that's a pro hack. You know what I mean? That is. And that's on Activia. But I do, I did love Stacey being like, oh, cool. I can look at the Jeeps. I can see all that. Oh yeah. Her, her view is pretty. I can't tell if like Stacey and Ashley, I feel like they want to be friends. They just can't. They do have a fun. Well, I feel like they do have a, like a, they're working on it. And well, actually Ashley in this episode did say that she has decided to focus on the positive aspects of Stacey. Stacey loves her kids. Stacey is always very kind to her family. So I feel like they're on a better path. And also like Ashley gave everybody a sex toy, which is very, you know, good and fun. And it was Stacey who didn't understand the rose. Yes. She didn't seem to, she didn't want to pick those petals. We're talking to her soon. We can check in on that. Yes. But they get here, and speaking of Stacey, who was saying that she was leaving early for the New York Magazine cover, or New York Magazine interview and everything like that, which congratulations to her. But they're sitting down, and then this is when Wendy recounted Recounted exactly how? Stacey let Tia know about the dating app situation with Tia's husband and then Wendy did repeat the kind of iconic I'm sorry Tia line thank you for apologizing for what you said about my husband now I hope you would accept the apology for what I'm about to say about your husband I'm sorry that is top to your housewife. The delivery was phenomenal. Delivery was if this was QVC I would have ordered that um and then when that was revealed everybody was like Tia, what the hell? You made it seem like Stacey took you aside and was very politely talking about everything. And Giselle and Ashley were like, so why are we in trouble if she was the one bringing this much of a mess and moment to camera? What you saved me from is having my children see that immediate reaction right there on camera. I was able to see that in my car. Right. I think that Tia was so appreciative just to have the information that she probably didn't even process What I think was just a tiny bit of shade. I do think that, I don't know if I'm giving Stacey too much credit. I feel like her intentions, maybe they weren't the purest, but they also weren't totally terrible. Well, I do feel when also Tia said, despite it all, she appreciated that Stacey let her, let Tia look at the dating app screenshots in private. So that was after the fact in her car. And I do kind of think Stacey's probably like, look, if Ashley's talking about this. On a stage, it will most likely be coming to light at some point. Right. I might as well just kick it off with, hey, this is what everybody's saying. It almost is like a blunt type of politeness. Well, and Stacey, because she wasn't getting along with Tia, she really had nothing to lose. Giselle's explaining that she didn't bring it up on camera because she didn't know how Tia would receive it. She didn't want to upend her life at home. And I also understand Giselle's perspective there. Yeah. Not wanting to ruin Tia's life, but Tia's not getting it. Exactly. I forgot who made the point. It's like, Stacy could have brought this up at the reunion with Tia was kind of messed, like really making fun of Stacy. Cause Stacy knew about this for over a year and she didn't do that. So there is that. But Giselle doesn't think she deserves a cookie for that. Oh yeah. You do not get a cookie for that. No, you get a cookie. If you keep the secret. Uh-huh. We just out. When Monique walked in, Giselle was like, Oh, is it the married man? The guy getting divorced that you're dating? Well, see, that's great. I was like, I took a leap. I heard it. And it was true. Right. Well, it's interesting because then that's kind of an illustration of the consideration that she was taking for Tia. Yeah. Because she didn't care how Monique reacted to that. She took a leap. She saw where it landed. And actually, Monique. Kind of. She was like, yeah, that is him. Yeah. She received it pretty well. I love Monique. I love Monique so much. But Monique and Karen, they're not on good terms. Yeah. Oh, speaking of cookie. The cookie of it all. Oh, when Stacey was like, I've never. Because Cookie's apparently talking ---- about Karen, but Karen... She can't receive that information. She doesn't believe it. No, no, no, no. She loves Cookie. She does love Cookie. And then she says that Ray loves Chris, Monique's ex. I've never seen them. Well, Monique would agree with you. She did not know that they were friends like that. I was like, how? What? I think that's what they've been spotted together with photos and everything. And people are like, well, Ray's on the picture. Yeah, he's not. I think it was a Karen and Cookie situation. And somehow Ray and Chris were there at the same time. I think the, the real connection and friendship is Karen and Cookie and Ray and Chris just happened to be in the same spaces through Cookie. And I think Cookie and Chris are friends. Yeah. Right. Exactly. But I understand Monique being like, you know what? He put me, or what I've been going through. So why fraternize with him? Why fraternize with him? Why take a photo with him? Yeah. And why not tell your friend Cookie, like, hey, I know that, like, this is not. Right, it's not good. But she does not give a s***. Yeah, she really doesn't. I mean, Karen is above all else choosing herself in her post-prison life. And good for her, I guess. And it's crazy that now. Wait, was she hanging out with Cookie and Chris before or after prison? Was that after prison? Or before prison? I don't know. Because if it's before prison, that's old Karen. Because she was explaining to the group, this is a new Karen. I can't tell, but if Monique is bringing it up, I feel it might be more recent. Post-prison, yeah. Yeah, I'm not sure. We need a time stamp on that. We need to talk to Karen about that. And also, we need to talk to Courtney about what are the shots of water, what are not. Courtney was very adamant on the bus that she does not catch the vibe and imbibe. What's the orange cross? Orange cross, that's right. That's what you did. Okay, so it's water. It's water. However, my girl is really throwing them back with me here. Now, here's the thing, because Courtney is studying to become a minister. Yes. So I could understand why you would not want to drink on camera or have a persona of drinking if that is your path. Right. Now, Courtney, though, I guess she also, well, she's been studying the ministry too much. She has not been watching The Real Housewives of Potomac. So you open up all your secrets to Ashley Darby, who we love, but... It's a vulnerable place to put yourself. So I guess it is kind of like, so. Freshman year of housewives, you know, if you think everybody's done filming, but there is footage of you at the bar taking shots. I'm assuming then someone with a camera was there. I don't know. It was like clearly a producer, producer camera. It was just a little tiny producer cam because the footage was a little bit shaky. It wasn't super glossy. So you're just sitting there at this empty bar taking shots with Ashley in front of like one producer with a camera DJ. And then they got a mixed drink, which is like, oh, that's water. And then they took things to the hot tub. They took things to the hot tub. And so after some shots, whether it was water, whiskey, or wine, whatever she was drinking, she decided to open up to Ashley about Stacey's past, alleged past. She saw a post online that said Stacey was a Jehovah's Witness? And then she mentioned that Stacey, allegedly, according to this post, escaped when she was 18, so then she posed the idea, was this a cult? So now we have cult allegations for Stacey, and she was, you know. Staying with Ashley, like, well, maybe I'm connecting some dots now, et cetera, et cetera. She and Stacey don't like each other. They did not get along at her husband's birthday dinner. And so I don't know if this is retaliation against Stacey for Stacey sort of degrading her event planning skills. Yeah, but I do know, I think Ashley does, of course, let everybody know about their fun night out. And I don't think. Courtney likes that. So we will see what happens with that next week. Yeah, and I think Courtney also, it seems like she's going to clock on camera in next week's episode that she was drinking on camera and then she's going to explain the water versus alcohol situation, which is, I don't know. You know what, as you're studying for the ministry, water turns into wine easier than you think. It's all the same thing. You know? You know, right? Just ask Jesus. Just ask Jesus. It's almost his birthday month. All right, guys, we will, sorry if that offends you, anybody. I don't know. It's Christmas soon. That's a fact. That's a fact. It's almost Jesus's birthday. We have things. And you know, he, you know, he loves the whole month. You know, we have those friends that like the birthday week. Jesus is a birthday month kind of guy. And in that I say, ho, ho, ho. All right. But we will. Now he's calling Jesus a hoe. No, I'm not. I'm just kidding. But hey, I'm. pull out if you want for your birthday. Do what you got to do when you want to do it. Exactly. Like we are going to be watching Real Housewives of Atlanta and we will tune in next week to see what these ladies get into then.
